Wait what? AKB what now? You ask. Well you might if you existed, but enough about that. AKB48 is a Japanese idol group consisting of (probably/definitely more than) 48 members. And I love them. I'll go more in depth later though, and hopefully this will improve my memory of the girls names.
AKBINGO is a variety program featuring their members hosted by comedy duo Bad Boys, and features various tasks and events. It's had 2 other names before hand but is still the same show. This episode aired only yesterday in japan.
The episode begins with a map of japan showing where 3 of the 4 groups (I don't think SDN48 has a specific base location), AKB48, SKE48 and NMB48 are located, and says thatthere is now the recently formed HKT48, the map then zooms out to show asia, pointing out JKT48 is coming soon to Indonesia, and that TPE48 is coming soon to Taiwan. We then get some text which is either asking where the expansion will end or something else. He then get pictures of some AKB members and other silhouetted pictures, the AKB members are the 10 AKB members who came top in the Senbatsu election earlier this year: Left to tight, front to back: Team B Kashiwagi Yuki, Team A Maeda Atsuko, Team K Oshima Yuko, Team A Takahashi Minami, Team B Watanabe Mayu, Team A Shinoda Mariko, Team A Kojima Haruna, Team A Sashihara Rino, Team K Miyazaki Sae and Team K Itano Tomomi.
We then get the opeining, featuring AKB's 3rd single: Aitakatta.
Now we have Sata, one of Bad Boys, announce the AKB48 vs SKE48 Kizuna Battle. To the sound of the 22nd single, Flying Get, we get: Miyazaki Miho, Maeda Ami, Oya Shizuka, Matsui Sakiko, Fujie Rena, Nito Moeno, Sato Sumire, Shimuda Haruka, Takeuchi Myu, Ichikawa Miori and the other half of Bad Boys, Kiyoto. And then to what might be SKE48's 7th single, Okey Dokey, we get from SKE: Matsui Rena, Oya Masana, Suda Akari, Kizaki Yuria, , Kuwabara Mizuki, , Hiramatsu Kanako, Kimoto Kanon and . They're also joined by some guy who I guess does some SKE show, I think he calls himself Chura.
Sata says something about the title sequence, before mentioning one of Rena's first appearances on the show, where she was hypnotised into her arm being forced into the air when she was asked some specific question until she said another phrase. She now uses the phrase of her own volition.
We get told what the first event is, when one of AKB starts trash talk (is this the event?) and Oya goes up against her. We then get this jump thing all of a sudden from Oya. The AKB girl then does a matrix move, and Suda comes, bends over backwards, and just walks with her hands on the ground. She then rolls over, by moving her feet over the back of her head. Another girl then talks about something she loves until Sata interrupts for the third time, and Kiyoto has one of AKB do it as well. Chura pulls out some scrapbook or something where the SKE girls have written complimeents about him (I think) and Sata starts reading some of them out. Chura then points out something about Yuria (martial arts?) and Sata has her demonstrate on Chura. Shimuda then demonstrates her ability to mime eating, and then run and hug something. Then another SKE girl gives some kind of defeated speech.
The next game involves 5 girls being sat in booths, and when it starts the curtains to each booth go down, and each girl has a rack of clothes in their booth, and have to change into clothes based on a list told to them by Sata. Each is supposed to become the same thing.
The SKE team go first, and Rena emerges as a secretary, the rest of the booths open, 2, 4 are also secretaries, 3 is a stewardess, and 5 is a policewoman, so they fail. After a bit of banter Rena points out that all 3 secretaries are in Team S, and the other to are both in Team KII.
The AKB team goes next, with waht I think is the same list. Miori emerges a nun, and when the rest open, the rest however emerge as nurses, so they fail and Shimuda jokingly shuns Miori, and Sata has a go at her.
The event will continue next time.
We then get the weekly news announcements, starting with details of the 24th single, Ue Kara Mariko, which has Shinoda Mariko at the centre following her victory in the Janken tournament, as well as announcement SKE48s Okey Dokey. We're also told of JKT48's member announcement, and treated to AKB sub-unit Not Ye'ts PV for their latest single, looks nice.
I apologise for the wrong names and missed out ones, I picked possibly the worst episode ever to start doing this, as I knew literally only one member of each group. If anyone an fill me in on missing information please leave a comment.
