AKB48 Sayonara Mouri-san! Ep4 [English sub]

English translation & timing: GEES Visual typesetting &QC: Lusankya@EitoSubs On air camera time auction! And the first ever on air camera time auction is underway. Here are today's members, yoroshiku onegaishimasu. AKB isn't quite the same quality it used to be. A complete drop off. If that's them they've really gone downhill. That's not AKB. Ah, it's not them. It's their managers. Ah, thank goodness. Today this episode is airing 1 hour later than normal. It's a distinct possibility that nobody is watching this. Eh?! Since that is a concern... It's that bad? ...all of them are going to participate in an auction for camera time. Today the AKB managers will be competing in a camera time auction. Camera time will be provided via punishment games and the winning bidder will get their client member guaranteed camera time as they receive their punishment. Where is AKB at? So the AKB members, eh, they are in another room waiting in standby for us. Let's check in on them real quick. AKB members! Haaai~ Domo, domo. Right now we can identify all of them in our monitors, however when this airs they'll be censored out. Eh! How come? They've all got mosaics. How come!? Right now we can confirm that Yukirin is covered with a mosaic. Yada! Put me on camera! First let's introduce the managers that will participate in the auction. Mukaichi Mion, Yamauchi Mizuki, and Chiba Erii are my clients. My name is Naiki, yoroshiku onegaishimasu. Kashiwagi Yuki, Okada Nana, and Kuranoo Narumi are my clients. My name is Suzuki. Asai Nanami, Sato Minami, and Tokunaga Remi are my clients. My name is Somyo. Murayama Yuiri, Omori Maho, and Inagaki Kaori are my clients. I'm Hayashi. Shitao Miu and Honda Hitomi, I manage both of them. I'm Makino, yoroshiku onegaishimasu. I manage Okabe Rin. From here on you may call me Kono, yoroshiku onegaishimasu. Send a clear message to Kono-san, since your fate lies in your manager's hands today. Ichiro-san, I'm counting on you. Just leave this to me. Classy! Super classy. So everybody here, do you know what things your clients refuse to do? Are you aware of what is off limits? Yes, I know what she'll refuse to do. This time you have additional information from the parents? Eh!? No, wait! Kowai, kowai, kowai! Shitao for example... her mother ok'd all punishments. We have permission from the parents. In the Reiwa era since Mouri's style was doing things without permission... which made no one happy, this time they got permission from the appropriate individuals. We have the ok and we're under compliance. I got it, I got it. We aren't doing anything bad here. In this auction they'll be bidding with a fake currency named MINE. Each manager has been given 2 million MINE and they'll use that money to bid in the auction. And now for the on air camera time auction the first item for bid is right here. Camera time for a total of 10 seconds, it's the electric shock chair. This one sounds rough. Eh, 10 seconds? 10 seconds is a really long time. Right away let's start the auction. Here goes. Starting bid is 10,000! Shitao Miu for 100,000. 100,000 MINE. We have a bid for 100,000... who else? This is more frightening than I expected. Yes, we have a bid. 150,000. 150,000 MINE. Shitao for 200,000. Kashiwagi for 300,000. Kashiwagi for 300,000! Any bids? Murayama for 450,000. Any other bids? Kashiwagi for 800,000. That bid is way too high! Anybody have a bid? 800,000 MINE! You are the winning bidder. No, not this! Yada! The winning bid was 800,000 MINE. What exactly are we doing? Watching total strangers on TV doing this is tough to watch. It's the camera time auction. What is that? What was your thinking? It's completely meaningless unless we start things off with Kashiwagi. Uwah~ What a good manager! Suzuki-san has the winning bid of 800,000 and now it's time for the electric chair. Curtain open. KYAA~ YABAI! KYAA! KYAA!!! FINISH! Wasn't that just awesome? Powerful! As expected. That was incredibly entertaining. That was amazing. Seriously wholesome talent. Was that all 10 seconds then? You were great. Arigatou gozaimasu! Kashiwagi Yuki started things off. SWITCH ON SWITCH ON AUGH! Ah, you can't do that. That was cruel! Don't come out here. Minegishi-san controls the button. Yes, I'm in charge of the button. As always Yukirin delivers. The next auction is for 30 seconds of camera time. Rip through plastic wrap using your face. He wanted more than anything to see idols make weird faces and Mouri created this game in the AKBINGO! days. Nihon TVs custom made punishment game. Minegishi-san have you done this one before? I think I've done that one before but it likely got edited out of the on air broadcast. This time we're airing everything no matter how boring it gets. So actually... Since they are buying that camera time. Let's get this auction started at 10,000, dozo! We have a bid. 1 million MINE. 1 million? For the opening bid? An opening bid of 1 million. A billionaire has joined the auction. The winning bid is 1,000,000 MINE. He's one of the World Nobles. TL note: References to the manga/anime 'One Piece' So why did you make the bid? It's the auction for Camie. I felt like I had to strike here or she might not get an appearance. It was sort of risky. Are you happy about this, Shitao? Makino-san! Apparently not too happy. Total lack of communication between those two. By the way... according to the survey sent in by Shitao's mother she was very interested in seeing her daughter's face get warped in some manner. Now then, Makino-san's 1 million winning bid: Ripping through plastic wrap with your face. Onegaishimasu. Ganbare. Uwah! ████████████████████████ Say what? That was fast! You still have 23 seconds to spare. They've brought in a 2nd one. Another one has been brought in for her. Looking good... ah, this is looking good. Nice one! That's good.... so good. Great one. She still has time left over. Chance time! Appeal time. Please tell us your goals for this year. My goal for this year is self-improvement... hai. OY! She totally disappeared after doing the plastic wrap thing. We were going to simply talk about her overall impressions. You're right. The next item up for auction is 1 minute of camera time. Popping a giant balloon. With this you can watch an idols face while they panic for a long amount of time. It's a beloved and best selling punishment game from the Showa era. Popping a giant balloon auction start. Starting bid at 10,000. 50,000. 50,000 MINE. 100,000! Bid for Yamauchi at 100,000. Sato Minami, 200,000. 200,000. Inagaki Kaori for 300,000. It's getting intense. Tokunaga for 600,000. 600,000. Inagaki for 650,000. Yamauchi for 700,000! A spiritual bid of 700,000. Inagaki for 750,000. Will Yamauchi respond? Tokunaga for 900,000. Inagaki for 950,000. Any bids higher than 950,000? 950,000 is the winning bid! These parts where nobody watching on TV will understand what the hell is going on are so long. And then all the pictures of Mouri in the background. I have no idea what's going on here. Is this a documentary about the staff or something? Why did you keep bidding for Inagaki-san? Inagaki is a very unique kind of girl. I was thinking her reactions would be much different from the usual, so that's what I was betting on. Now then Inagaki Kaori. What do you think? I don't think I can do this. Somyo-san, I noticed your first bid was for Sato Minami. Why did you switch to someone else? That bid didn't stand a chance. Will she meet her manager's expectations? Camera time of 1 minute, popping a giant balloon. Curtain open! Let's get started, Minegishi-san! Onegaishimasu! A common balloon... ah, it's inflating. Ah, Inagaki... ah! KYAA~ Show us your face. It's just a balloon but it's scary. Let the cameras see your face. Show us your face, show us your face! Kowai, kowai, kowai! Kowai, kowai. Kowai, kowai, kowai, kowai. Kowai, kowai! Uwah! GYAHHH! What was that? What happened? Cockroaches. ████████████████████████ Toy cockroach Ah! There's bugs. Uwah! That's disgusting. Terrified I can't take it anymore. Inagaki-chan! Inagaki-chan, face the camera! So how was the balloon? Eh, it was like... it startled me. Kawaii. Kowai. That was scary. Yes, it was. I feel a little guilty about doing that to her, but she did give us some good reaction shots. So that was good. At this point 3 auctions have completed. Suzuki-san, Hayashi-san, and Makino-san have all been winning bidders. Their current money totals are as shown. The next item up for auction, you're bound to get funny faces no matter which idol it is. It's a game from the Showa era: Pantyhose Sumo. This one is worth 1 minute and 30 seconds of camera time. Two people will be doing this one for us. The top two highest bids will win this auction. Auction, starting bid is at 10,000, start. It's Okada for 100,000. Okada for 100,000. Mukaichi for 150,000. Yada~ Eh?! Eh, stop that! Don't do it! Makino-san! Honda, 160,000. Ah, small increments. 10,000 I seriously don't want to do this... seriously this is not good. If there's no more bids, is it over? Is that all the bids? Okada for 200,000. Okada for 200,000. Any bids over 200,000? Asai for 400,000. We've got Asai for 400,000 and Okada for 200,000, anyone else? Those are the top two bids. Top two. This is good... and bidding is over. Thank goodness! Okada and Asai? For a moment Mukaichi was in the running. There was major panic in this area, myself and Hii-chan were both like "stop it!" Seriously Makino-san... please stop doing this! Okada Nana. Hai. What do you think? Ah, I've wanted to try Pantyhose Sumo. Nice... Suzuki-san. That's what you get with Suzuki-san as your manager. I'll assign Kashiwagi Yuki to this one. Good balance. And then Asai Nanami. Huh? Please let me go free. ████████████████████████ Appears to really hate this Why do you hate this? I don't want to! I want to look cute on TV! Of course you do. Somyo-san, why did you bid up Asai? I think she's gutsy. But she just said she wants to look cute on camera. Is this a management error? They going to be ok? On the survey we received from Asai's mother... What if we did a game that made your daughter look hideous? She said "The camera time received from the punishment game takes priority." Was their winning bid worth it? 90 seconds of camera time, Pantyhose Sumo. If the both of you would please face forward. Ah, good one! I've never seen them make a face like that before. They won with bids of 200,000 and 400,000 respectively. 90 seconds of camera time, Pantyhose Sumo. If the both of you would please face forward. Dozo. Ahh, nice. Who is this? Who is this? This was a good purchase. Asai-san how do you feel? At first I really hated the idea, but if this gets me camera time then I'm pretty happy about it. Now that you don't have that mosaic on you... But isn't this pretty much the same as being covered by a mosaic? ████████████████████████ Not really much different than the mosaic!? Now let's get started. Pantyhose Sumo... ready, start! Oh, that's good! They do have to pull on it. Good, good, good! You're doing good. Uwah, that's good. Ganbare, ganbare! Eh, Nana-san yabai! Good stuff. Uwah, sugoi. Ganbare! ████████████████████████ One of Reiwa's best all time battles Yes, yes just like that... that's good... that's good. Uwah, sugoi. Hold on... ganbare! This is an intense fight. Somebody needs to go ahead and win this. Ganbare! Keep pulling. It's a draw! Tie game. ████████████████████████ The aftermath of a fierce battle Even the facial expressions after the battle are good. Great expressions. I know both of them very well and I've never seen them make those faces before. I got to see something special. I can't believe we saw pro Sumo. You don't really see that level of sumo in Pantyhose Sumo. AKB is a gutsy group. That was fantastic The next auction item has a total camera time of 4 minutes, I wonder what's in the box. According to Producer Mouri this game would even fit in the Edo era. In Japan it's a punishment game that's been played nonstop. Once again the top two bids will be the winning bidders. This one has the longest camera time. They're all going to see what's in the box before making their bids. First... to make sure everyone is in full compliance the managers will check what's inside the box. ████████████████████████ Shocked! Haven't seen anything like that before. Yada, yada, yada, yada! Absolutely not! These are pure reactions. Even for us... we're looking over at the managers. They don't like it either then. Almost makes you wonder if this is really OK. Eh, come on now. This is seriously bad! So what did all of you think of that reaction? Absolutely not! Absolutely no way! Never! This is the worst ever! Here you can once again check out how much money they have left. In the end who will be the winning bidder? This is the centerpiece auction of the day. Starting bid is at 10,000, dozo. Hai. Hai, Honda Hitomi. Honda Hitomi for 100,000. Yada! Okabe Rin! Hai, Okabe Rin. 500,000. 500,000? Mukaichi. 550,000. Kuranoo. 600,000. Yamauchi for 700,000 MINE. Zukki. 800,000 MINE, Omori-chan. Kuranoo for 900,000. Ah, 900,000. Tokunaga for 1,100,000 MINE. Tokunaga for 1,100,000. Okabe Rin! Hai. 2 million! Eh!? Eh? 2 million? It's over... there's no outbidding that. So all your money? She was just saying "absolutely not". The auction has ended. And with that Somyo-san who had a winning bid of 1,100,000 and then Kono-san who bid his entire 2,000,000 are winners So then Tokunaga, your thoughts? Well, I'm happy to get on camera but I have mixed emotions about this. What were you thinking, Kono-san? I wanted her to experience a classic variety punishment game. You wanted Okabe in this one no matter what. I want her to do it! I want to make her do it! So Okabe Rin, your thoughts? Kono-san!! I hate this more than anything! I hate it! Is it bad? Will I get hurt? You will! Coming up the punishment game will take place. Will the two of them be able to live up to the amount of camera time they're receiving? KYAAA~ AUGH!!! Something in there moved! Kono-san placed a bid of 2,000,000 and Somyo-san placed a bid of 1,100,000 and they won 4 minutes of camera time. I wonder what's inside the box? They'll each get 90 seconds for a total of 3 minutes. The remaining 1 minute will be used for them to guess the answer. Starting with Okabe Rin. And what exactly is inside the box? A lizard I wonder what's inside the box, ready start. You don't have much time. Yada... Ganbare, Okabe-chan. You don't have much time. A little lower. Little lower. Good one, good one... nice. Classic reaction. A little lower. Lower. This is scary right here. Use your left hand too and go low. Ganbare, Okabe-chan. Lower. Be gentle. Gentle. Little lower. What do you mean "be gentle"? She crying? You're doing good... ganbare. There's no time. kowai kowai KYAA! AUGH~ I feel so bad for her. It's not that level of cruelty... it'll be ok. It's fine, it's fine. It's not like that, it's not like that. You're running out of time. Picture touching the bottom of the box. Kono-san is sweating profusely. It's moving, it's moving. Ah, she knows it moves. Cute reaction. You're doing really good. You are out of time. What is something smooth and flat? Now then, well? Eh, it touched my hand! It touched you? It's not trying to touch you. 10 seconds. 10 9 8 7 6 5 Little to the right. KYAAA~ That's time! She fought hard. Great reaction shots, weren't they? Up next it's Tokunaga Remi. Tokunaga Remi, start! I wouldn't like doing this one either. You got it... you got it. Just a little lower, I think. A little further. AUGH! Good one. There's something alive in there. It's closer to your right hand. Something in there is alive. Isn't she right there? Isn't she almost in the right spot? What kind of texture does it have? Eh? The pure reaction shots are great. Pure reactions are good. AUGH!!!

Awesome. Okabe Rin, if you'd come over. Are you crying? She's crying. I tried to grab it and it moved. Don't cry... it'll be ok. Well, that's a good job from the both of you. Please tell us your guess simultaneously. All together. Snake. Crab. Snow crab. My finger, it totally pinched my finger. You're saying a crab pinched you with its claw? That would have been incredibly dangerous! Tokunaga Remi, how about you? Snake. Snake? Back in preschool I touched a snake this one time. This had a similar texture. I see. Now let's have them take a look. Dozo. Wait... kowai, kowai, kowai, kowai. AUGH!! You were both wrong. So what is it? A lizard? It was a lizard. That's unfortunate.
