Its the 4th annual inner circle impersonations awards

excuse me...its the inner circle impersonation awards

This will be the 4th time we've done this

This tournament has some history to it

Only the members know why its funny

The tournament of super detailed inner circle impersonations is finally back

Its the first tournament with the 5th members

so what kind of impersonations will they unleash?

According to the rumors

Wada has delayed her graduation

just to win this tournament

[ This is Maaya's final chapter ]

Wada will be doing a majority of the impersonations

[ This is her legacy ]

This is basically Nogizaka impersonating Nogizaka

and there's going to be some exaggeration involved but

people crying

or getting angry

or hating another member is banned

The inner circle impersonations are back after 2 years

First we'll see entries from these 4

First entry....dozo!

[ Entry No.1 Umezawa Minami ]

On the intro for [Under's Love]

she goes over the top and looks like Passion Yara-san

I am Ito Riria

Here we go...its an Ito Riria impersonation

UNGGH~

[ Transformed into this guy ]

She's done it again

Ume is evil for sure

Ume is so evil

Ito Riria is a big target for these

[ The main source for content ]

Does she really do something like that?

Let's continue on then

next entry....dozo

[ Entry No.2 Ogawa Aya ]

When she adjusts her hair she makes it too sexy

She ends up looking like [Nagano]

I am Inoue Nagi

[Influencer]

So where does she adjust her hair

WOO~

There's no way she does that!

[ Almost full Nagano ]

She did the hair thing

She was good

so good

She did it

Do you play with your hair like that?

In that dance?

The original version of the dance isn't like that but Nagi-chan

she plays with her hair more than its called for

[ High number of Nagano antics ]

She even did this at the end

This just makes me want to see her do it

On to the next entry....dozo

[ Entry No.3 Wada Maaya ]

She goes overboard on [Jikochuu de Ikou!]

and does a pose you wouldn't expect from an idol

I am Yakubo Mio

Yakubo

[Jikochuu de Ikou!]

[ Smiles while giving you the thumbs down ]

Is it different? Is this not the move?

She's doing a thumbs down....BOOO

I seriously do not do that

If everybody is laughing then there's something to it

She does that a little bit

Let's go to the next entry....dozo

[ Entry No.4 Kaki Haruka ]

She loves Saku-chan and pink too much

I am Yakubo Mio

Saku-chan

Even a picture of her is so cute...Saku-chan

She sounds like her too

Pink-chan too

ah kawaii

kawaii

Its the real Saku-chan

ohayo! Saku-chan is looking cute as usual

ah!

Saku-chan's wallet

Is that pink-chan?

kawaii~

Everything is so cute...Saku-chan....Saku-chan

Pink-chan...Pink-chan....Saku-chan...ah kawaii kawaii

kawaii~

Looks just like her

She did her voice perfect

Sounded just like her

So Yakubo likes pink

I love pink

Well this 4th tournament opened with Ume

She went after Ito Riria

Ume is definitely evil

Indeed when Ume comes out here she's done Ito Riria's poses and stuff

The fans have seen that and are like

it's become a fan favorite

yes I feel bad for making them wait this long

[ Possibly an exaggeration ]

This was a new one

But this is a song we played at every stop on tour

I think anybody would know what I was talking about

The other members would notice all the extra power

But I do put a lot of strength into it so

I can't deny these accusations

During a concert she'll become possessed

[ Becomes this guy ]

You're from Okinawa aren't you

So you are like Passion Yara-kun then

It might be a part of me

Its a part of you

This isn't typical Okinawa comedy though

[ Damaging Okinawa's reputation ]

She pounds her chest so hard

Plus her face becomes like a Shisa lion dog

[ This is disrespectful ]

Because she's like a deity

The spirit descends on her

The deity

How bad is the authentic version?

Would you show us?

Now she'll recreate what the real thing looks like

eh? Is she hitting herself too hard?

Is that too strong?

no no! Its much worse than that

During a show she does it much harder

[ Hiding the passion? ]

That's not it....her face stayed Riria that time

During a show she's a Shisa lion dog

Stop that

[ Ume Mayo the insult factory ]

Once you add that in it looks amazing

Why is she a Shisa lion dog?

[ Umezawa's disneyland of insults ]

Next....ah Inoue

Ogawa made you look like Nagano

hai

Does she do that?

If she has time she'll adjust her hair

[ Given the chance she'll go full Nagano ]

Well she does have long hair

At the end she'll do all this too?

[ Total Nagano ]

That's what it looks like?

hai

Inoue

I don't take it that far

That means you do it

[ Unaware that she's doing the Nagano ]

eh? I have to do it?

Don't overthink it

We'll check if she indeed becomes Nagano when she dances

ah its that move

[ She did the Nagano ]

That was it

Does everybody lift their hair on that part?

eh isn't that the move?

eh Kubo too?

Soft and Silky Queen Kubo does it too?

As you'd expect

[ Soft and silky queen does not Nagano ]

It does look similar but

you cannot do the full movement

That's Nagano's move

That's completely different

So the Nagano comes out of nowhere

[ surprise Nagano ]

If you're going to do that you may as well point and everything

[ Make it authentic Nagano ]

Then we'd like you to add this to it

[ Surpass Nagano ]

We want you to yell out "Lassen"

Lassen

[ Nagano's version of Lassen ]

Then Wada did Yakubo

I noticed this one on tour

She's dancing with so much energy

Then at the end

YAY!

[ How about I give you the thumbs down? ]

You're supposed to point to yourself

She goes thumbs down

That's unacceptable

She does that with a smile

I was shocked

I didn't even know I was doing that

And then it was Kaki

She was good...that was total Yakubo

You nailed her voice

Your movements too

That's great

What's the deal? Yakubo loves pink and Saku-chan?

She'll see something pink and call it Pink-chan

[ random nicknames ]

Like if our wardrobe is pink she'll say

Look at this! Today we get Pink-chan

[ no possible way to respond to that ]

Sounds just like her

Its because sakura is pink too

That's why

Maybe that's why she likes Saku-chan so much

Its not just because of the color

She sounds scary all of a sudden

BOO BOO

Its an impersonation festival

next its the entries from these 4

next entry....dozo

[ Entry No.5 Tamura Mayu ]

She drinks water like a man

I am Kuromi Haruka

My throat is all dry

I'll drink some water

[ Overflowing with manly vibes ]

That whole thing was manly

All this laughing must mean its true

Does she drink like that?

Kuromi looks around like that doesn't she

That time I went to the dressing room she stared me down

Himura-san showed up late but she was really intimidating

[ jack knife Kuromi ]

That's Kuromi looking straight ahead

And now the next entry....dozo

[ Entry No. 6 Ichinose Miku ]

She moves around like a thief on a police surveillance camera

I am Ikeda Teresa in the dressing room

gochisousama deshita

gochisousama

mmm that was delicious

It sure was

Its already 3pm...I'm going to brush my teeth

ah OK

Looks like her a little bit

ah...Sacchan bye bye

This is bad...she looks like she's going to steal something

oh...what's up with this camera?

ah she's stealing bentos

How many is she taking?

How many more?

This is wrong

You're impersonating her bad qualities

She's making a run for it

I see what she did there

I get it

But she angled her face just like Ikeda

You're right

Talked like her too

It did sound like her

Got her eyes too

Looked like her eyes

You got the surveillance camera and everything

That's a new one

For doing an impersonation

Let's move on

next entry....dozo

[ Entry No.7 Umezawa Minami ]

She moves like a penguin

I am Saito Asuka-san

What's this? Asuka-chan

Staff: Asuka-chan...move a little to the left

hai~

ah I get it

Move a little back

hai~

Asuka-chan

Your food

hai~

hey! come on!

[ Asuka the penguin ]

That was over exaggerated

She has that image

You can picture her moving around like that

little steps

Was the fish really necessary?

They feed penguins like that

That's too much

Let's get the next entry...dozo

[ Entry No.8 Iwamoto Renka ]

She puts too much spirit into it and kicks her leg higher than anybody

I am Yamashita Mizuki performing [Suki to Iu no wa Rock daze!]

[Suki to Iu no wa Rock daze!]

Is it that bad? Does she kick that high?

ah Yamashita is a violent dancer

She kicked her....kicked her

Kicked her

ah I can see that

Yamashita gets violent

She seems violent

She's got lots of energy

That's another good one

But is she the only person kicking that high?

She does that?

I totally get your Kuromi impersonation

She just has that look in her eyes

Something about how she walks up to you

Its like her eyes will never meet yours

Eyes never meet?

[ Her eyeballs move freely ]

Kuromi you do this move constantly don't you?

She's got her own rhythm or something

[ Out in public she'd get stopped by the police ]

She's Wanderlei Silva

[ Wanderlei Silva warming up for a match ]

She's Wanderlei Silva

You scared me back in Hokkaido

[ Wanderlei Kuromi ]

I wish I could see that

At the entrance to the dressing room I got the message

In the dressing room or during a concert

when she drinks water

She uses just a snap of the wrist

to drink her water

At an angle

She drinks while she crushes the water bottle

[ Drinking water is also a lock ]

Kuromi

They got you

They got me

When I crushed my water bottle

Yuna-san told me "I despise people who crush water bottles"

[ physiological hatred ]

Don't crush water bottles

And then Ichinose

I get this one...Ikeda doesn't seem like it but

I thought you were Ikeda

Her eye movements looked just like her

She also kept the angle of her chin locked in this position

Its like her chin is receiving radio signals

[ Teresa sensors? ]

You take the bentos home?

I read the situation

That's fine

If there's leftovers then

She probably feels some shame on the inside

So when nobody's watching she puts them in a bag

Even around manager-san and the members

she sneaks around

When she goes to eat a 2nd bento she's like

[ suspicious activity ]

You get seconds on the bentos?

But I haven't done it recently

[ Confesses to past crimes ]

eh how many bentos are you taking home?

I haven't done it recently

[ Emphasizing its all in the past ]

What's the maximum number you've stolen then?

four

[ Arrested for running a bento monopoly ]

That was pretty good

The unknown side of Ikeda was good

And then Ume

Ume's impersonations have some malice to them

I make sure to show proper respect with my impersonations

Asuka-chan....well Asuka-chan does move around like that so I get it

small movements

You do that stuff

Are you sure?

Something about that angers me

[ somewhat insulting impersonation ]

That's not right...its malicious

Don't look at me like that!

When she has to move 1 or 2 steps she makes all these small movements

Her mouth is also kind of like a penguin

when it happens she'll get like this

mmmm~

I do not do that

She gets irritated

Obviously since her name is Asuka she acts like a bird

[ Lumped together with all bird species ]

She had to add that in

[ Dis is Umezawa ]

She's from the same species

How many insults did you prepare for today?

[ Insult factory Umezawa ]

Her face is a Shisa lion dog

I show proper respect with my impersonations

So annoying

And then Iwamoto

Yamashita's leg kicks...seems like the 3rd members understood you

So this one

it might be the 3rd members that know this best

Is Yamashita the only one that kicks that high?

She's probably over excited

When I watch Yamashita I think you're right

Her eyes will be like

she's all like

yeah! Let's do this!

That's Kuromi

That makes her the Kuromi of the 3rd members

What does 3rd member Kuromi mean?

[ Yamashita is the Kuromi of the 3s ]

There's a Kuromi in the 3s and 4s

Surpass the originator

Let's go to the other side of the impersonations

The super exciting impersonations tournament

Next its block #3

next entry....dozo

[ Entry No.9 Tamura Mayu ]

She'll use any means necessary to fix her bangs

I am Kakehashi Sayaka

hmm~ Does this look ok?

Is my hair ok?

Does it look ok?

You look fine

The show is starting

hey Saku

Your pupils....lend me your pupils

Does it look good? Looks ok?

yeah

perfect!

That's crazy

She does that

Tamura pinpoints a particular detail in her impersonations

She's good...Tamura is really covering things we don't know about

Now for the next entry....dozo

[ Entry No.10 Umezawa Minami ]

Its not just how she talks....she even brushes her teeth like a robot

I am Sato Kaede

now I shall brush my teeth

I've made an error...I've made an error

[ Incompetent Robot Kaede ]

That's funny

This girl is so mean

The stuff she said before brushing her teeth sounded like her

now I shall brush my teeth

[ The monotone ]

Seeing this reminded me of when she spilled her food

So that picture

ahh I have spilled my food

[ sad robot ]

Let's go to the next entry...dozo

[ Entry No.11 Yumiki Nao ]

Is she holding a mic

or playing a recorder...I can't tell

I am Kaki Haruka

eh regarding today....arigatou gozaimashita

Finally if Kaki could say a few words

hai

ehh~

So today

I feel like I've grown up a lot

Her pinky is sticking out

so~

I'm truly happy I got to meet you

She stuck her teeth out this entire time

Got it

I guess she does that

I want to see this

Starting with Tamura

Kakehashi

hai

Her bangs

After rehearsal her bangs are a little out of place

When that happens she'll grab the arm of the member next to her

She'll say "Lend me your pupils"

Can she see herself in a pupil?

I don't think she can see herself in a normal eyeball

So I try to open up wide

[ full pupil service ]

I've let her borrow my eyes

She's using your pupils as a mirror

Many of the members have lent her their pupils before

Anybody here been asked to lend her your pupils?

ah that's a fair amount

maybe they have good pupils

Kanagawa she's asked you before?

I've let her borrow my eyes

We were together a lot in the early days

she always asked to borrow my pupils

What do you mean my pupils?

I didn't understand what she wanted to borrow

So what would happen on another tv show

If Kakehashi went alone

If she were alone with veteran Nakao Akira-san

excuse me...lend me your pupils?

ahhh fine by me

Not even Shino has ever said that to me before

[ Celebrity eyeball rental ]

And then it was Ume

hai

Her brushing is super dynamic

Her elbows are locked

Like this?

That's right...you're familiar with this

They teach you how to brush your teeth in preschool

Its taught like this and that's exactly how she brushes

[ Her robot AI is set to child intelligence ]

She's making fun of you pretty bad

That's how you brush?

If I don't scrub like that I don't feel clean

That's why it looks like this

Its that wild?

Your gums don't bleed out?

[ Accused of having a robot mouth ]

She talked just like her

That's right however she hasn't been much of a robot as of late

Its like she's returned to her human form

[ Umezawa speaks with increasing disrespect ]

She has an insult ready for everything

But on this year's tour there were a lot of food spill incidents

Again?

Like the bento spill picture from before?

yes there was

A very similar incident

Right after getting catering?

You dropped your food again?

Last year I flipped over Fukuoka

This sounds like a huge story

[ Robot of mass destruction appears? ]

What's your problem

Shut the hell up

I'm gonna flip over Fukuoka

[ Robot fluent in Hakata dialect ]

That's why I decided to be careful in Fukuoka

Why are you careful based on location?

I made it past Fukuoka safely

but then I let my guard down

and I dropped all my food at the next tour location

[ Made a mistake and conquered the entire country ]

Yumiki

hai

Yumiki showed some spite the way she stuck her teeth out like that

That was spiteful

Its like when Kaki holds a mic

it looks like she's playing a recorder

She holds the mic with just the tip of her fingers

Like a recorder

Why do you only use the tips of your fingers then?

eh why do I do that?

But holding it like this let's everything breathe better

breathe?

Its because your hands get sweaty?

Because of sweaty hands

Are you reliving past memories of playing the recorder?

ahh a long time ago

I'm asking you

[ This conversation is not progressing ]

ahh a long time ago....what's that mean?

Once again today's talk segment did not go as planned

[ Time for a commercial break ]

Wada's final impersonations

She going into the realm of illusions

next entry....dozo

[ Entry No.12 Wada Maaya ]

On [Hadashi de Summer]

she becomes Michael Jackson

I am Ogawa Aya

[Hadashi de Summer]

Michael Jackson

What's all this?

You startled me

What just happened?

What happened?

You startled me! What was that?

What was that?

Wada you had a rope attached to you

On our tour

the 1st song [Hadashi de Summer]

In the dance you're supposed to face sideways like this

Ogawa-chan will lean way into it

When I saw her neck sticking out like that I thought

eh!? We got Michael Jackson out here

[ The Wada radar triggers ]

Sounds so casual

We got Michael Jackson out here

Why are you making fun of her

Does she lean in like Michael Jackson?

She really leans into it

Hold on....when you lean like that

somebody is pulling on that rope for you

[ Stage props-san holding the emergency rope ]

hey Ogawa

hai

Do you remember doing that?

Its true that I like to push things to the limit

Why?

I've seen Ogawa on other songs and she gets super aggressive

Ogawa is tiny but she moves around like crazy

She'll use her hair a lot too

when I think she's turned her back to me

she'll actually be facing me

[ We've entered the Wada zone ]

I thought she had turned her back to me but she was facing me

That can't be right

I'll see her nose and realize

oh she's facing me!

You think you can say anything you want now just because you're graduating?

That's how aggressive she gets

Just because you saw her nose

oh she's facing me

The jacket art and back cover design for [Koko ni wa Nai Mono] is complete

On next weeks inner circle impersonations

please don't do anything that causes friction among the members

and keep the impersonations coming
