AKBINGO! Ep544 [English sub]

On a certain day in May Nice weather out This is great weather ah! Is this the one? It's got to be this one Sure seems like it Going on a drive today The only thing these AKB members were told was that It's a drive location shoot Oya-san gets the drivers seat right Well I'll be doing the driving And then ah I've received some instructions Instructions from the show will be sent to Asai's phone It says to open up the dashboard dashboard.... AH! ah Something in there? Travel guide! I'll read it aloud then The goal of todays show is for the senpais and kouhais gakikon? You mean kakine? It's for us to break down the walls between us We get 30,000 yen for travel money eh that's really good 30,000 The rule is everyone must use casual speak ehhhh~ The use of "desu" or "masu" or "hai" are not allowed Each time you use respectful language you'll lose 500 yen of your travel money I've been using respectful language though We haven't started yet right? Haven't started yet Now that I've read the rules aloud the rule is now in effect yabai I use respectful language We'll lose 500 yen....desu ne HEY! YuiYui! OY! That cha-ching sound is the worst part I'm not talking anymore then I really want that 30000 though Now It's 29,500 yen In any case don't.... use respectful language hai ah! oh! Who said that one? Wait...what am I supposed to say then....desu ka Just stay quiet! Just keep quiet YuiYui! The change at General Director...Sashihara graduating There's abrupt changes happening as AKB makes a transition so right here Now's the time to speak their mind Respectful language is banned in this members only talk and drive Translation by GEES Timed to 23:30 RAW by @LusankyaG What do the members think of the current AKB? The destination this time is a BBQ area where It's easy to build close relationships However the budget to buy the ingredients for the BBQ gets reduced each time they use respectful language So what is the age difference between the members here? So how old are the 3 of you? I'm 16 I'm 18...desu I'm 17 This is hopeless If they're talking to me the money will be all gone eh? YuiYui is 17? hai....ah! YES! [ English! ] English! The oldest members that have supported AKB since the early days Kashiwagi Yuki and Oya Shizuka are both 27 As for Oguri Yui who has taken the role as center before she is 17 Next gen ace candidate Asai Nanami is 18 Having just recently been promoted from understudy Yahagi Moeka is 16 Yes with 105 current AKB members having members with a 10 year plus age difference is a given However Moe-chan you don't use respectful language around Sashihara anymore right? She said to stop talking like that I'm totally fine without the respectful stuff nope...too... You were about to call me scary weren't you I didn't say that...didn't say it Once you talk to me I'm not all that scary so today by all means onegai onegai~ onegai~ onegai~ I have no idea what the causal version of onegaishimasu is onegai~ These members with a 10 year age difference what will they talk about first? Let's have a psychology test right here [ psychology test? ] Psychology test? The youngest Yahagi conducts a search DA-DAN You just scored a 0 on a test 0 points Your friend saw your test score What do you say to the friend at that moment? First let's ask Shii-chan me? Is that what I'm truly capable of? ah I should have studied harder yesterday Naamin I focused my studying in the wrong area This is so horrible what do I do now! So that represents what you'd say to your boyfriend when you kiss eh? Shii-chan yabai Is that what I'm truly capable of That's embarrassing! Came out totally embarrassing The 2 of them had cute ones I focused my studies on the wrong area This time it's a theme to force them to express their true feelings I received something Is there anything you regret doing? ah is there anything? Absurdly thinking I was cute and joining AKB In grade school I thought I was like the cutest girl in the world everybody's looking at me Of course the reality hit me in my 1st year of high school If I hadn't overestimated how cute I was I wouldn't have gotten hurt so much I've got one too when I made my debut I proclaimed I had super sweaty palms Yourself? hai Like today It's pretty bad....desu It's bad Yukirin won't look at me Not gonna look your way even once! no look At the handshakes people came expecting my sweaty palms But I have to be nervous for my palms to get sweaty People left super disappointed I've regretted a bunch of things I've said There's always something isn't there I've got something almost exactly like that Yukirin? I proclaimed my favorite food is strawberries Everybody does it...all idols do it..It's an idol thing I went with it but then I thought wait are strawberries really my favorite food? That's not right So I actually like mentaiko Does Moe-chan have any regrets? Moe-chan hasn't regretted anything yet No regrets? But Moe-chan looks like she really worries about stuff "Moe-chan are you always crying?" is what they tell me You were crying at that handshake right yes I was That was awesome! The way you cry looks so devastating! I'm like did she just break both her legs or something Now I'm really curious to hear what made you cry like that I was upset over some things the fans said to me complaints? Like complaints and they'd say "I've had enough of you!" They said that's enough? they did...and also "I'm never coming back" How do you build up your mental toughness then? For me when I get a suggestion or a critique I'll say "ah...I understand what you mean...arigatou gozaimasu...I get it" But inside if I'm thinking that's not quite how it really is Since they're thinking of me and trying to help I will say "arigatou gozaimasu" however at that moment I don't take that advice personally You don't even give it a thought If you react to the opinion of 1 person then after that there'd be a ton of people who support you who want to give advice too so just establish what you're all about and then the people that take a liking to you will increase rapidly...when you don't try to force things it gets much easier The way you stay true to yourself and don't stray there are some people that are drawn to that and they'll want to support you Building mental toughness takes time it can take a long time This is great...just being right here is going to make you stronger I think dialect kawaii She says your dialect is cute For tv I don't really use the dialect much rare video Yukirin's dialect will leak out sometimes What's your dialect like? I don't end sentences with certain sounds like Shii-chan's something something-ken but like the intonation for my name Kashiwagi Yuki is said Kashiwagi Yuki eh? no way....It's Kashiwagi Yuki Since I'm from Kagoshima It's Kashiwagi Yuki Doesn't the change of intonation in my name surprise you That's not the Kashiwagi Yuki I'm used to Kashiwagi! It sounds so fancy! Does anyone want to take this moment to ask something? kouhai questions for the senpais? Go ahead and ask me anything Fine then for the both of you if you'd answer some questions for us You haven't been able to adjust at all! As an idol what's the most important part of being an idol? All of it really simply boils down to for the fans and the people watching it's to bring a smile to their faces and to cheer them up I believe It's really something an idol is uniquely qualified to do Seeing our energy and having a good time seeing that cheers people up All that vitality from all of us and such idols are a source of energy that cheers people up That's kind of how I see it It's difficult though oh that got a clap special guest lecture Lecturing from inside a car For me Yukirin I worry about you I've made a kouhai worry about me! Once it turns to spring I'm sure your back must start hurting that's why if your back keeps hurting won't you graduate? Graduating due to back pain sounds seriously awful Is this because of her long torso then? It is related isn't it Dachshunds tend to get hernias don't they Don't compare me to a dog! Recently though more than the older girls it's been more younger girls graduating That's true...the teenage girls How about you 3? Have you thought about it? I'm curious eh Yui hasn't....desu however my mother has started thinking about my graduation song [ Oguri's mother currently thinking about the graduation song ] currently thinking about the graduation song [ Oguri's mother currently thinking about the graduation song ] Oguri's mom How about what's wrong with the current AKB So Moe-chan there was one AKBINGO! studio recording where nobody would talk and it was all quiet Mion-san was like "we need to speak up more" she said that to us since then Moe-chan has worked hard to speak up but I think everyone should speak up more I think it's better to be greedy! When you join the group you already have your own show same for me too...of course that's all thanks to the hard work of the senpais it seems like that feeling of "I get to be on tv" isn't in a lot of people Since they didn't earn it themselves few people treat it preciously It's probably my fault for not giving more guidance Did you talk a lot from the start Yukirin? I would not speak unless I was called on but I made a notebook of jokes for when we had the theater shows You don't need to plan out something weird to say but It's crucial to think of the viewers desu desu.....desu You all said desu I was seriously thinking it though and then everybody said it yabai Forget the what's wrong with the current AKB let's have a pop conversation! So tell me what the young kids are doing these days for fun U.S.A game....what's that? Match the rhythm of DA PUMP-san's U.S.A. song while giving out a topic Like "C'mon Baby BBQ" some people are control freaks about their BBQ The topic is given out by the person before then The last person gives the topic and the next person answers C'mon Baby...how about meat The expensive meat always tastes the best~ C'mon Baby...how about the zoo So much fun but not when it rains~ ah good one C'mon Baby how about trash cans Sometimes they stink and sometimes they don't~ C'mon Baby how about hairstyles long hair is a nuisance nuisance nuisance~ C'mon baby.... how about fish You read that off that sign didn't you! how about fish is messed up Now that they're all fired up the atmosphere is completely different sugoi Moe-chan wants to go to the beach I'd like to see the beach Shall we go? They'll make a quick stop at the beach C'mon baby how about fish ah this is awesome...so fun sugoi water! I got scared This is totally my specialty though What's that? The wave wasn't coming at all...you just ran for it Now they're really acting like teenagers everybody jump now 4 3 2 1 ah that's a good one....sugoi The crusty grandma jumped the highest The talk has brought these 5 together and now to an important subject Currently AKB I would say doesn't have momentum does it I would have to say we're going against the wind since it feels that way if things keep going the way they are things probably won't get better staying the course can only go worse I think If we were to challenge ourselves and try out some things I think that would be better To make the name AKB even more famous than it is now and that does sound like a difficult task but to get the image of all out effort across to people is a good thing and from what I see I do think everyone is doing their best at the theater but that feeling isn't reaching the average person if people see you going all out to win them over I think people want to cheer for people going all out to win them over so if you get that chance to get that image across to people Along those lines since there is a senbatsu that limIt's the number of members that can appear on tv but those members probably did have to give a little more all out effort It may be too late to say now but after all the years you think about it there is the part where you think about the last one but it does sometimes feel like I wish I was able to give a little extra With all these people it really makes it difficult With a group of 5...the feelings of those 5 "Let's make this another hit" It's good when it's like that But getting everyone on the same page there's too many people trying to go in different directions Among the members it's like "I want to play the Tokyo Dome one more time" but they don't publicly proclaim it as their goal The last time AKB played the Tokyo Dome was 5 years ago To perform there again we have to draw more fans Just saying you want to perform there won't get you there If everyone can't decide on a single goal for AKB it makes it really difficult The goal of playing Tokyo Dome one more time is a passionate subject among these 5 or so we thought [ sound asleep ] sound asleep You kidding me! Moe-chan you sleepy? sleepy [ Honest answer ] Honest answer Thought you'd say "I'm not sleepy!" Coming up....while going to the supermarket to buy food for the BBQ this person makes a surprise appearance uwah! You startled me! seriously startled me! Sashihara graduated in April but the other day she held a big appreciation festival in Fukuoka arigatou gozaimashita Please look forward to Sashihara's activities post graduation Tonight Nishikawa Rei takes the role of center the song about transitioning into a new era...we bring you [Generation Change] carrying AKB into the future pay attention to the performance of the next gen members To buy food for the BBQ the 5 of them have arrived at a supermarket so then right here wah that scared me...uwah you startled me! otsukare You seriously startled me otsukare Could you open the window or something? over here then well everybody please listen up You surprised us What are you doing here? I watched the entire thing I listened in on the members only meeting...sounded pretty good And then you guys are horrible with the casual language stuff Need more casual So your budget started off at 30,000 yen What is that budget at currently The lowest desu! black desu! What changed again deshitakke? arigatou gozaimasu Their money continued to dwindle each time they used respectful language the BBQ money In the end just how much money do they have left? You have 4000 yen! yabai! What do we do now? You lost 26,000 yen doing that We didn't become closer at all then! How will the BBQ turn out?
