Shukan AKB 111216

I'm still doing this because It's a continuation of last weeks.

The first group this week is Umechan, Lovetan, Shimuda and Ami. Lovetan is sent up and chooses E.
The teacher (Ayaka) is asked a question by Love-tan, and he offers assistance by giving a hint (Ojiichan). She can only guess dodgeball, and the teacher pats her head, sayin 'kawaii'. Love-tan says something which is presumably getting quite forward, for declaring 'sensei' to be 'stekii', and then stands up and grabs his arm. He pushes her off, and says it's inappropriate. Love-tan apologises but continues to say how she likes sensei. After a few rebuffs, he says something that makes her hug him.Naturally it is this moment pupils Shimuda and Ami enter, and Sensei quickly pushes her off, put Shimuda works out what seems to be happening. Mocking starts over it, but he tells them to stop. The major bit of improv comes in as Shimuda declares she loves Sensei, and glomps him. Love-tan pulls her off, and a fights stopped by Ami. Sensei finishes rebuking Shimuda only for Ami to hug him as well, and Shimuda tries to pull her off, but resorts to grabbing his back instead. They then all say what they like about him, but Sensei reveals he's already decided, just as they try to work out who they're joined by a female teacher played by a production crew, and his choice should be obvious.  Soem stuff is said, and we get what I assume is some cultural reference, and the girls are sent out. The female teacher leans in for a kiss, and Ayaka just pushes him/her away, before leaving.

The second cast is Umechan, Moeno, Fujie, Amina, Sumire and Shimuda. I don't remeber if I said this before, but Shimuda looks nothing like her public picture. Amina chooses Script B. The scene starts with Ayaka and Sumire entering the park together, and sitting down on a bench. They make a pinky promise (I never though i'd have to say that, let alone type it, and Ayaka kisses the air while Sumire's backs turned, as she told her to clse her eyes, she opens them to find a silver hear on a chain around her neck, as a birthday present. They then actually lean in to kiss when a phone rings. Ayaka tries to ignore it, but Sumire's distracted, so Ayaka relents and answers it, it's urgent and she has to go. Sumire's annoyed because she's always doing this, and nearly slaps her, before running off angry, Ayaka running off as well so we can have a scene change.

Shimuda is holding Amina at gunpoint, at an angle I think could well shoot her arm as well. 3 detectives, Moeno, Fujie and the guy whos in all of these are trying to talk him down. it's pretty much a stalemate as Fujie and Moeno hve guns pointed at her. Umeda arrives and gets filled in, and has Moeno mock Shimuda. After that she has Fujie walk towards Shimuda and appeal to him a little. Ayaka starts to list reasons she shouldn't do it, but Shimuda gets a little fed up. As this doesn't work Ayaka starts stepping closer to Shimuda. Eventually Shimuda shoots her. We have a pretty pathetic slow motion running sequence as she falls, Shimuda drops to her knees and Amina's just shocked. However it turns out she was saved by the neckalce, and everyones relieved. They then just start dancing to Namida Surprise, and Sumire just sort of shows up.

Shukan AKB 111209

I don't know if I'll do another of these, as I had trouble in the past understanding what was going on. But it's not the girls who were on everything I've seen previously, and a different MC, so I guess this is recorded like AKBINGO

In the event for this week the aim seems to be for a group of girls to act out a scene, by first picking one of 5 envelopes (A, B, C, D or E) and asking the two men with props for the script of the title in the envelope, and go from there.

First up are Fujie, Moeno and Asuka, and Asuka chooses evelope A. I think the MC says there are 3 lines that can be used at a paticular point and they'll have to make it up from there. The scene begins with Asuka and Fujie together discussing a certain sempai of theirs, and how much they like him, but Asuka resolves to help Fujie confess to him rather than confessing herself. Fujie keeps on stumbling, but I can't tell if thats her forgetting lines or  part of her character's lack of confidence. Eventually the boy they've been discussing, portrayed by Moeno walks in, and Asuka encourages her to speak. A teacher coe sin briefly, before leaving, and Fujie gives her confession. However Moeno reveals that 'he' actually likes Asuka, causing Fujie to run off, Moeno stops Asuka following. They say a little more before hugging, and I can't help be suspicous of Asuka the way she's looking. I have to say I think Asuka gave the strongest performance, and not just because I like her more than Fujie, although given my uncertainty with whether or not Fujie was deliberately flubbing lines or not she might gain a few more points. They give a quick overview at the end, and point out how Fujie's nostrils were constantling flaring, which actually caused Moeno to stifle a laugh after the confession. Asuka's evil look at the end is also brought up.

The second cast has Asuka again, Shimuda, Ichikawa, Oota Aika and Yamauchi Suzuran. Right so Aika's the one who kinda looks like Amina got it. (This probably sounds odd, but before I worked out her name I called Kitahara 'not-Asuka' and I was either calling Ichikawa, Love-tan, Amina or all 3 of them 'not-Chise' as in Natsuki from Boukenger, and I haven't even watched that show yet.)
Anyway, Miori is sent to choose an envelope and picks C. We start in the classroom from the other scene, but now made up to look different. There is a chalk outline of a man on the gorund made of string. Aika, Ichikawa and Suzuran, a man and another of the girls but dressed up stand over it. The man is a detective, and calls over his partner 'Kura-san', but Asuka seems to be too busy playing the drums on Rockband, but evtually comes over. He's introduced to the girls nd the woman. The other detective starts listing details from the case. We learn that Shimuda (the woman) is either the victims wife, or the one who found him, and there was a message in the victims blood on the boards near the body. She starts to describe finding him before crying. She did it, I'm calling it now. Actually given the look Aika just gave the camera it's eiter her or she didn't realise the camera was pointing her way. Kura asks Shimuda to place some evidence (now bagged) where she found it. The maid it seems was in the kitchen when she heard something. The gardener was gardening. Ichikawa seems a little to enthusiastic for someone who's presumably the victims daughter, but then they all burst into tears. Kura steps away, and the lights dim as he gives his monologue of his deduction. One hint was the dying message. Kura then says it was the gardener (or is it his caddy for golf). Apparently the dying message says golf. She starts crying more, and Kura points out the golf clubs on the floor, which hven't been marked as evidence. Seems one of them had blood on it, and she confesses everything, while also drawing me to my initial conclusion that all the girls are the victim's daughters. She's then led away as far as I can tell, by invisible police officers. The others depart, and Kura delivers one final line.

For news we have stuff on Ue Kara Mariko, I guess HKT48 have launched their first stage, more on SDN's 4th single.
