OHHH~ They're fired up now I didn't understand a word they said Since they're all shouting it If it falls, it was all for nothing...everyone builds a cup tower One by one in order they'll insert a piece of paper and stack their cup if they can stack up all 15 cups...challenge clear So this is the order Taguchi-san, how did you decide on this order? We put the unskilled members up front Unskilled? What makes them unskilled? If they're clumsy or kind of get nervous we put them up front So how do you know if they're clumsy or get nervous? From watching their personal life [ Clumsy in her personal life ] If it falls, it was all for nothing...everyone builds a cup tower Now then onegaishimasu [ Homma Mai ] You sure about that spot? Closer to the platform? Its easier to stack from farther away They're putting this much thought into this For this part, just place it and go [ Michieda Saki ] Make sure its on good...the paper is important They're all giving advice Yelling advice is ok ah right there yes...that's good Here comes person #3 [ Yamane Suzuha ] Little to the right Right there hai [ Umemoto Izumi ] From the start, they're all making sure the cups are stably stacked [ Taya Misaki ] [ Yamauchi Mizuki ] And they've reached the 8th person [ Suzuki Kurumi ] I might be clumsy at this stuff You should have put her at the front Little to this side Want to move it?

I had nothing to do with that even though everybody's blaming me All of them wanted to find someone to blame That was all of them Yasuda let her guard down just for a moment in that delicate situation the tower collapsed resulting in an unfortunate result wah...it was you! I really hate this [ Crying! ] What kind of school is this You can still get 10 people in the Q-shot Yes That's right...10 people Its pointless if we can't all be in it ah, how about we skip those challenges then No we're still doing them!

Consecutive hip balloon popping 15 balloons are set in position one by one they'll pop it with their butt If they can pop them all in 3 minutes challenge clear The sound when the balloon pops lots of people fear that sound eh? Taguchi is scared of this? Those balloons...I can't take it Those things are dangerous weapons Yamauchi-san...are you ok with this? Since its for the 16th class I think I can fight through it You think you'll make it then Komi-chan, how about it? Don't you think that pop sound is scary? It is a scary sound Komi will also endure it..I'll be watching from over here Are you actually saying it hurts to watch Now then nobody freak out BAN BAN BAN! consecutive hip balloon popping ready start [ Shoji Nagisa ] [ Taya Misaki ] [ Harima Nanami ] [ Homma Mai ] [ Yasuda Kana ] [ Kurosu Haruka ] [ Umemoto Izumi ] That was foolish That's what you come up with after watching everyone Hey now...you kidding me This is some foolishness Still plenty of time...you'll be fine [ Maeda Ayaka ] [ Yamauchi Mizuki ] [ Nagatomo Ayami ] [ Suzuki Kurumi ] Its Sento-kun...Sento-kun ganbatte [ Muto Orin ] [ Yamane Suzuha ] go go go 2 left [ Michieda Saki ] ganbare ganbare Do it for Manaka 1 minute left Legs out next time extend your legs [ Taguchi Manaka ] Challenge clear Umemoto-san, was the problem child wasn't she Umemoto-san it looked like she was doing a foreign comedy Like watching a silent comedy Michieda-san also had a hard time But since Michieda-san had to pop it while running out of time with one person to go the way she gave the next person a chance was amazing All thanks to Saki-chan So considerate! So considerate Fall down and you'll take people out Balance Beam Hand Holding One Legged Standing! On top of a balance beam they'll hold hands with the person next to them Once they're hand in hand, they'll raise one leg If they can stay up for 10 minutes without falling...challenge clear Who here is your biggest concern? Mai-chan Why is it you Mai-chan? [ Problem child ] We put the good girls on either side The way you're lined up you could interchange people You've got the girls with bad balance between girls with good balance That's how we made it Girls these days are so mature Now then...fall down and you'll take people out Balance Beam Hand Holding One Legged Standing ready start Keep those legs steady keep the other leg raised Zun-chan is stuggling Everyone be careful seriously...seriously everybody relax Keep those hands down! [ Strict! ] That stopped everyone in their tracks ah the senpais also? Trying to see how bad this is You're with them emotionally Just like this, there was no loss of balance after 2 minutes, everything looked good And now we'll bring in the 1st obstacle The 1st obstacle will be to expose information about the 16th class members First its something about Yamane Suzuha-san Here it comes Yamane-san She's so concerned about how drastically different she looks without makeup that even at the hotel she's staying at, she will not remove her makeup You don't take off the makeup then I don't That actually gave her more balance The next one is about Muto Orin What?! Muto Orin often tries to hold back her yawns during dance lessons and the face she makes looks just like a camel Finally its Suzuki Suzuki-chan Suzuki Kurumi-chan Even though she's a burikko, if you try and call her that she'll say "Obviously I'm doing that" in anger Unbelievable, do you act like a burikko? Yes...a little Your legs hurt? There's still more to go Now then....6 minutes have elapsed Its time for the 2nd obstacle A drone will fly near your face and take video He's a current drone comedian with a valuable skill in this business Tani+1-san is here with us onegaishimasu Tani+1-san....drone comedian Everybody listen up...he's definitely going to avoid hitting us with the drone Take off These drones are crazy Keep quiet...it'll be fine He found a weak spot If we fall, then our reward will only have 4 people It made contact That kind of hit her Wait! Zun-chan! It would be scary getting hit by that thing OK Coming up, the 16th class will face their biggest threat can they keep their balance for the entire 10 minutes Balance Beam One Legged Standing 2 minutes left to go Will they manage to clear it? Now then, its time to bring out the 3rd obstacle [ 3rd obstacle - C02 gas gets sprayed in their face ] ganbatte She still up...she's still standing yabai yabai! yabai yabai Suzuki held her up [ Fine play ] 30 seconds left Only 30 seconds left everyone do your best Everyone relax...take a deep breath 20 seconds Keep fighting...we're cheering for you Finish [ Challenge Clear ] The challenge is a success That's wonderful Zun-chan, you fought hard That drone smacked you didn't it That was pretty much a test of their mental strength Not mental at all...that was physical! And with that they cleared 2 challenges so 10 of them get to do the Q-shot So how do we decide who gets to do the Q-shot its hard to make that decision so this will be decided by random drawing That girl messed up yet she won the drawing, that's unfair We don't anyone thinking like that And don't harass her in the back either You can't post anonymous social media comments either The results of the completely fair drawing these 10 people will get to do the Q-shot You ok with this? Why is it so gloomy in here? What's the matter? Tell us your feelings All of us even though all of us worked hard I don't like this but its bad to draw attention to yourself What if its between them doing it or nobody does it? If they do it people would have postive thoughts about the 16th class then maybe for future shows....please call up the 16th members ohh...that one kakkoii that's good...sounded cool Be sure to take a cute video Now then right away, please watch the 1st part of the 16th class Q-shots AKBINGO!
