Opening of "Serious Bonding Sports Meeting"! So serious! Right after this, AKBINGO! The large group, AKB48. There is the existence of a bond that is more solid than anything else.

Aitakatta~ [Subbed and translated by Nagatsuki Nura] (nagatsukinura119.tumblr.com This program is brought to you by these sponsors. Players will now come forth! The first one to appear dons in the same color which shines the most among 7 colors, the unique 12th gen. As expected a gen that focuses on individuality. They're pretty scattered like bees. These are the types that homeroom teachers don't like. Next is the one who won't lose in struggling with sweat and tears, the gutsy 13th generation. With those headbands that say "certain victory", their spirits are sufficient. Next is the newly formed unit and team. The idol team, 14th generation. The ribbons are adorable, as expected from idols. Lastly, appearing out of the blue is, consist of senpai members who abandon cuteness for the sake of variety and reaction, the Variety All Stars Senbatsu. The headbands' color is bitter! That's all for our players. First we will have an athlete oath. Bad Boys Sata Masaki Bad Boys Omizo Kiyoto Nihon TV Announcer Sugaya Daisuke Okada Nana-kun from the 14th gen, step forward. Yes! Sensei! Just for today, we will forget our comradeship in AKB. Earnestly, we will pursue victory for the sake of our generations with all our might. Representative of the players, Okada Nana. So serious!! She's too serious! -Nice. I thought there's going to be more than that... She's representing the players after all. Why don't you have a go, Oya-san? EH!? But you talk about your kouhai with such manner! Now, here's an example from Oya-senpai. Ow! The classics Who are you, Takeshi-san (Comedian)? It ends just like that? The Bond Sports Meeting has 4 stages. First competition is... Connect by willpower! Hanging relay!! Sounds good. The excitement increased considerably. Sugiyama-san please explain the rules. In this challenge, players will compete on how long they could hang onto the bars. However, this is a relay challenge so, when the first player falls down, the next player's box will be taken and start hanging on the bar. This is similar to passing batons. This goes on until they reach the fourth player, if she falls first, the team will lose. The first round begins like this. The team who wins will get 1 point. First round is, the team who won't lose in willpower led by Mogi-captain, 13th gen VS the 14th gen led by the serious Okada! What do you think? Your first opponents are your kouhai from the 14th gen. Because the 14th gen are our kouhai, they have too much energy! Who do you not want to lose to specifically? Okada Nana-chan. -Me? Our ages aren't that far away. Mogi Shinobu 16 years old Okada Nana 15 years old I can't make the seniors look bad. What does the captain, Okada think? We're a team that has a strong bond. While Okada talks, Oya keeps on grinning like hell. What's with you? Mogi-chan finally says something to Okada-chan, but she said nothing much in return. She's so serious! She's just too serious! Right. In 14th gen, there's Okada, Nishino and Kojima whom fans refer to as "The 3 Musketeers". These are popular and observed members. Meanwhile, the many members in 13th gen took two years of hard work as kenkyusei. Furthermore, when the new Team 4 was formed, both 13th and 14th generations are promoted. This is a battle that the seniors can never lose to! The hanging relay begins like this. The anchor will be a battle between captains. In the end, the winner is? The hanging relay challenge finally begins. It has begun. This is the hanging relay that is supported by their willpower and concern for their comrades. The first battle is between Aigasa from the 13th gen and Uchiyama from the 14th gen. For the sake of their friendship, they are enduring- is Uchiyama starting to struggle? She still hangs on! What an expression! -This is really great! Uchiyama's struggling already. -Uchiyama! Look at Aigasa. She's still doing fine. Aigasa's expression is pretty calm. Her legs start to anticipate too. You can do it, Uchiyama! -Uchiyama appears to struggle a lot! Uchiyama is now air-cycling! Will Uchiyama prevail? -Aigasa's still unflinching. This is the strength of an idol! What a big straddle! How embarrassing! This is an embarrassing posture! She's hanging on, she's hanging on! Both Uchiyama and Aigasa, for their friends! -Amazing! She's not falling. -Awesome! Uchiyama is- -Aahhh!! She fell! Now we're moving on to the next 14th gen player, Nishino! This is Nishino who always has a big reaction. Aigasa's amazing! Aigasa is still holding on. Aigasa's demonstrating 13th gen's willpower with all her best. But, oh? Her arms are starting to shake. Aigasa's strong! -She's amazing! She does have guts. Is she going to slip with her sweaty hands? Looks like she's trying to fix her fingers. She fell! Next is Oshima Ryoka's turn. Oshima Ryoka's moving a lot! She'll fall, she'll fall! Just stay still! -Hang on! Oshima's suffering, meanwhile the 14th gen Nishino is still calm. Oshima's body posture begins to change! -Too fast! Her legs are raised. -If you move a lot, you'll get tired. Ah! She slipped. She fell. Oshima falls too soon! 13th gen VS 14th gen! The 14th gen still has 3 players. -Incredible! Iwatate is hanging on really well- UUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!! Somehow Nishino lets out a loud yell. I'm gonna fall, I'm gonna fall, I'm gonna fall! I'm gonna fall! I'm gonna fall! Nishino's height has increased. Nishino's body has grown! Looks like it. Her body appears to be growing. -Wow! Nishino, with Iwatate, the third player. And she falls! -Nishino's incredible! You fixed the gap nicely! It's Kojima Mako's turn. Iwatate, too, is enduring as hard as she can. This is Iwatate who remembers 50 pi digits! That has no meaning at all! Bonds are important! Their headband says "Certain victory", so they will fulfill it. Will the 14th gen win? Iwatate falls! Next it's the anchor, Mogi. The baton is passed to the last spurt. 13th gen Mogi VS 14th gen Kojima and another player. Kojima looks like a real rhythmic gymnastic player! -Right? If she can handle this, there will be no problem for their anchor. However, Kojima's fingers are! Can she fix them? Will she hang on? Kojima fell! Now is the fourth player, Okada Nana VS the 13th gen Mogi Shinobu. Mogi looks like she's in pain. On the other hand, Okada has serious expression. The 14th gen is also at stake. This is Okada, whom Mogi considers as her rival. Okada is looking at Mogi. Mogi too, looks at her. This is... Mogi's Weird Face Attack! You're not a stray cat, are you? What will happen? But it has zero effects on Okada! Looks like she won't laugh. -She's not entertained at all! Mogi is just embarrassing herself. For starting first, Mogi begins to feel the pain first. Oh, she fixed her grip! You've shown your guts, Mogi! -This is a huge improvement! Okada too? Okada's struggling a little. She keeps on looking up but. Okada's fixing her grip too. The battle isn't over yet. This is a battle between spirits- Ah! Okada's fingers! Her fingers! She fell! -The winner is the 13th generation! You've shown your guts. I gotta show a captain's willpower! You did it. How was it, Okada? I'm amazed with how everyone did their best to till they reached their limit, and it felt painful seeing them in pain. Everyone did their best, so I had to give my all too- TOO SERIOUS!! Oya! Next is the second round. Captain Iwata leads the unique 12th gen VS Oya's Variety All Stars Senbatsu! They're facing against senpai members. What do you think of this? Seriously, it's all about the young kids in AKBingo! nowadays. We're no longer called! For me, I've stopped filming in this show since ages ago! We'll crush the young buds! -They'll crush the young buds. That's what they said, but do you have anything to say to your senpai? -Yes! This is where's we'll witness Takahashi who is in a rebellious phase, call for her senpai! OI SHIMADA! I've no idea where you've got confidence, but all you wear is a tank top! Is that true!? We don't know this! From the back, you look like a female pro wrestler! And...? You're all done for! When's your debut match? This is terrible! Ok, Shimada! When it's decided, I'll invite you!! Debut confirmed? No, no. Shimada. Why are you taking the damage inflicted by your opponent? You're slow to realize that! That's right. Recently, it's the 12th gen who stir AKBingo! with their individuality and asset. But it's the senpai who have been pulling and forming AKBingo! till today. Using their body, they've been working hard. The number of received punishment games they went through, is the proof of their bond. This is a battle that the senpai can't possibly ever lose to! For this round, it's like this. 12th gen's anchor is Tano while the All Stars' is the heated up Shimada. In the end, who will win? Hanging relay finally begins. The hanging relay that is supported by their willpower and concern for their comrades, begins now. The 12th gen begins with Muto, and Kuramochi for All Stars. Muto's gripping nicely. The way Muto holds on is very unique. -That's right. Individualistic 12th gen's Muto holds on with an unchanging expression, while Kuramochi is- I can't! I can't! I can't hold on anymore... Don't say that! You can still do it!! You're not done yet! And the air-cycling has begun. Her legs start to paddle. -What the hell is that air-cycling thing? Looks like she's in pain- ah! She fell! She's replaced by Oya Shizuka from the Variety All Stars. I think I'm at my limit! I'm at my limit!! No you're not! Ohhh that's some face. She's an orang utan! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!! This is an orang utan. -THIS IS BAD! THIS IS BAD! Oya makes a monster-like noise but... Incredible! -Muto looks like she's at her limit. And so Muto falls off. Takahashi's replacing her. I don't like this! I'm scared! Then she surpasses Takahashi who quickly passes to the third player. And so the third player begins at the same time as their opponent. Now it's Matsui Sakiko replacing her. And now we're on the third players' battle. It's the third players' battle. -Iwata's concentrating. Iwata's closing her eyes. It appears she's meditating. And Matsui Sakiko. Her fingers are efficient in playing piano, but they are holding on to the hanging bar now. I've never used them for this kind of thing!! On the other hand, Iwata's not moving at all! She doesn't move even an inch. She just moved to fix her stance. Huh? -She moved a little but... YAHHHOOOOOOO!!! What was that yell? What was that yell? But Iwata's in danger! She fell! Iwata fell before even reaching 1 minute! Now, the 12th gen's betting it all on the anchor. Now everything is in the hands of Tano Yuka who may be increasing her height by 5 cm. Tano Yuka's hanging on well. Meanwhile, Matsui Sakiko too... -I'M NOT GONNA FALL, I'M NOT GONNA FALL! Somehow she's- ah! She just fell. Now it's a battle between the anchors. Shimada Haruka now takes her place. This is a battle between both generations' anchors. Can Shimada Haruka show the strength of the senpais' friendship? Huh? -This is the anchor... Shimada looks like she's weightlifting. DON'T LAUGH! Shimada's neck is missing. Indeed she has no neck, but she does have willpower. Shimada-san has no neck. Try show us your neck. -She laughed a little. Has Tano Yuka started feeling the pain? Tano Yuka doesn't look like she's in pain but- CRAP MY HANDS ARE SWEATING! I'M SLIPPING! I'M SLIPPING! Don't worry. They'll dry! "They'll dry", that's funny. Shimada too, has started biting her lip! Shimada's biting her lip! Is the senpai losing!? Will it be the Variety All Star? AH! Tano Yuka let it go first! Variety All Star Senbatsu wins! DID YOU SEE THAT! YOU BASTARD!! GOOD JOB!! Good job, good job. How humiliating. Tano. It's bloody frustrating, to be frank. Scary! Tano-chan! Variety, variety. For the first stage, 13th gen and All Star Senbatsu won and earn 1 point each. Now, on to the second stage. The next competition is this. The next competition is Virtual Air Hockey!! This is Air Hockey that is used by the latest technology. Using their body against the putt, they can pass towards their opponent's position. The battle is in the form of a tournament. Each team will be played by 2 players, making it a tag team competition. The first team who gets 3 points wins. Furthermore! Members who played in the first round are not allowed to compete again in the final round. -I see. The players who play in the final round will determine who will be the champion. First round is 12th gen VS 14th gen. Who will be the first round players? Me! -Me! From the 14th gen, it's Nishino and Kojima Mako. Mako appears to be the strongest since she was in the Tennis Club. She has an explosive power. Who will represent the 12th gen? Me! -Me! Ready. -12th gen... -Here! That's not right! Say it together! Among all of us, the two of us have the same age. We're in the 3rd grade at middle school. -I see. They're 3rd graders who can't match their enthusiasm but then!? And so, first round start! It has begun. This air hockey battle demonstrates the bond between the players. -Looking good. Both teams are gradually closing the gap between them. They've also increased their pace. They still can't pass through the gaps. And the ball is... Oh, she almost fell. They passed through! That wasn't the stance that Kojima learned from tennis! Meanwhile, Iwata's foot! It didn't reach far enough at all. The 12th gen does the kick-off. And this is where the game starts. The 14th gen has led with one score. Once again the 14th gen appears to be leading. And so...? The ball's- It went through! The second score! The 14th earned their 2nd score! Again, Iwata's foot failed to reach out! This is Iwata's flaw. Karen! Stay here, just stay here!! This is rare! The usually gentle Omori is raising her voice at Iwasa! Omori and Iwata have swapped their positions. So Iwata's at the offensive. It went in!! Well done! -They've got their 3rd score! Iwata, you suck at this! Maybe I don't have earthlings' abilities... What kind of planet are you from? The second round is a battle between 13th gen and Variety All Star Senbatsu. The first players are the good-friends duo Mogi-Iwatate, and... the defensive duo, Kuramochi-Matsui. The match begins. Right now is the kick-off. Kuramochi and Matsui. How will they use their tall height in this match? The 13th gen are approaching slowly. -They're going for the attack! The 13th gen are moving forward! The standing senpai are furiously countering but- Here it comes! One score for the 13th gen! Matsui Sakiko was slow by one second. Resulting the 13th gen's goal! This match is heating up. This... -And then the senpai members also scored! In the end, it is just a short-lived happiness as the match continues. The 13th gen and 14th gen have reached the finals. In the end!? After this! Virtual Air Hockey's finals! Virtual Air Hockey's finals! The competing members are? We are classmates since elementary school. The 14th gen are also a combination of close friends. It's a battle beween close-friends duo! Who will win!? They're slowly kicking the ball. This is where they're countering. Okada. They did it! The 14th gen scored in the finals! The 13th gen made a mistake 7 seconds after the match began. Will they catch up at this pace?! The kick-off right goes to the 13th gen. First up is Oshima. -Block it, block it! This time Oshima failed to block! Once again, a goal in an instant! It barely grazed Oshima's toes! Slowly, the ball goes to the 13th gen. Uchiyama's counterattacking. To Oshima, then Aigasa. Okada. And then- ah! It went in!! This is an absolute victory! That was incredible. How was it, Okada? How should I say it? If you think you can win, then you will win. So SERIOUS!! That's all for this week! Next week, there will be more battles that will determine which team has the strongest bond!
