Sim on AKB48 #2: AKB48 Bimyo 7

Note: I would probably go over Shukan AKB's latest episode, as it's the second longest running AKB programme, but it was the second part of a 3 parter (I think?), so I'll leave Shukan a while.

I don't really know what Bimyo means, but thats the title apparently. I also don't know how long this will run for, but it seems to be a comedy show acted fully by AKB members, I enjoyed the 6th episode (as I type the only one I've watched) so I guess I'll do tis one as well. And then watch the prior 5. I also don't lnow if the order I talk about these is their airing order, as the whole episode doesn't seem to be uploaded this time.

The first Sketch (I guess) starts with a real freaky looking introduction, Before we get Akimoto Sayaka? in rags as a boy while another girl gives a voice over. Sayaka wakes up and as his wife, Kitahara Rie and child I don't recognise stand over him, they then go to eat at a surprisingly nice looking table. They're zomvies apparently. Kitahara happily stabs Sayaka with his fork, but it's no biggie. She's then stabbed after she makes a joke. We then get sudden;y serious when the wife reveals they've got a letter, apparently sent in 1811. Her continued talking upsets the other two, I think Sayaka's character dislikes whoever sent the letter. His wife and child leave and he falls to the floor upset. He then realises some chance he has, pulls out a mobile phone, and calls someone, possibly the person wo sent the letter (Maria?) and mentions it's been 200 years. It seems though he's only been a zombie for 70 years, and was something else for 5 years, though I may be confused. He then calls a Naomi and realises it's been 300 years. (I think they're former girlfriends, maybe the letter was from one as well). He then calls another number, only to find he's talking to Kitahar, whos in the room. He then apologises, but she leaves again.

Our next clip starts with a woman (Takajo Aki?) talking to her manservant? (Yokoyama Yui) and Yui is blunt to her initial question. They continue talking and Yui just carries on in a monotone voice. He leaves, maybe to do some cooking, and Aki's husband, Miyazawa Sae walks in, and they talk briefly before Aki notices a mobile with an e-mail which ends with a heart, and accuseshim of having an affair, Sae denies it before Aki blatantly doesn't slap him (it works though) into the wall. She then sees his eyes are staring right in front, he's dead, Aki's shocked, and we see Yui stood at the back of the room. They talk, Yui still emotionless and Aki distressed, with reference to the consequences (the police were definitely mentioned) and some talk of how much jail time she could be looking at. Aki begs for help, and Yui grabs a piece of meet, holds it over Sae and drop it (I think I saw the face move) as well as painting paw prints leading to the body, to make it look like a dog mauled him. They argue about it working briefly, Yui then grabs a horseshoe print, and they talk somemore. Sae then gets up, asks whats going on, and has Aki slap him again, he falls again and Yui starts the conversation where it left off. Aki eventuall walks off and grabs a knife, holding it to her stomach and talks about what I think is her guilt and she can't go on, as Sae gets up again. As Aki says she'll go to hell Sae laughs about how scared she is, and goes to try to hug her, and Aki, scared of the zombie, stabs him in the stomach with the knife. I think he's dead this time. Yui carries on with the emotionless speak, as the realisation of the murder again hits Aki. Aki is shocked and just stabs herself in the stomach, Yui then calls the police, reporting either a murder-suicide or his jealous murder of the pair.

Our third sketch starts with Sae, and two girls who I can't name calling something which is really cute, while a dragon and raccoon (I think, can't name the girls) talk about being jealous of who they're talking to. As they carry on complaining and being sad the raccoon gets an idea. They pull off some pose, but the girls still call to the unseen creature and so moping resumes. They have another idea, do some introductions and a sweet pose, but are still ignored. They do a joke but are still ignored. After another go they resume moping. 'Ara-chan' then comes up from the camera, he's either a seal or a bear. Taking off his bear helmet reveal Yui (twice in one episode, damn). They talk, and then have an idea for a 3 man performance. The focus of the girls remains with the Ara-chan though, and as he waves at the girls the other two express their sadness and start to walk off, try waving to seei if thats acknowledged, then hold each other sadly. (Also, turns out this was the last sketch.)

The next sketch starts with Miyazaki Miho (henceforth referred to as Myao) hosting a game show with Shimuda and someone else behind her, while the contestants are other girls I'm not familiar with. The first question has something to do with Japan, Glasses girl answers, apparently mistaking several characters used in the question for others, and gives the wrong answer. We move onto the next, or rather the exact same question, which the other girl answers with 'yes, thats right', and it's the correct answer. The second question (having something to do with Fuije Reina?) is answered by the same girl correctly. The 3rd question is also answered correctly by the same girl, meaning she wins, to the dissappointment of the glasses girl.

Our last sketch opens with Maeda Ami (I think, I really don't know though) entering a beauty salon, she's invited to sit, but notices some odd figures already there. Minegishi Minami (Mii-chan) is a samurai, I can't tell who the second one is, and the third is Sayaka with a blond wig. She's then handed a booklet of styles, with some quite bizarre ones present. (I think the others have ones from the booklet as well). Ami says she wants hair like Kitahara Rie, but the women just shows her a proffesor look. Ami wakes up to have her hair in a samurai styling, shocking her. She tries to protest that this isn't what Kitahara's hair looks like, only for Kitahara to walk in with the exact hairdo. Kitahara talks briefly to the other customers, before talking to the stylist, and I heard Sashihara mentioned. I'm guessing Kitahara's hair is supposed to be styled like Sashihara Rino's hair then.

Again if anyone reading this notices errors please tell me.
