DON!

And Nogizaka Under Construction is underway

We are your hosts Bananaman

yoroshiku onegaishimasu

And over there are Nogizaka-chan

The Flower's Name

What's this?

The Flower's Name. What is that?

What is it?

Something you're doing?

The flower has meaning

Has to do with today then?

So Himura-san

hai

Please announce what's on today's show

On today's show we have this

Which unit has the most charm?

The unit presentations for inviting new members conference

hai

So what's this about?

Within Nogizaka

there are separate units

units?

And actually today Himura-san

they're all sitting with their groups

You have placards right?

If you could raise them all at once

Please raise them

dozo

Them too?

Yes they're a unit too

That's the Sayuringo unit right

hai

And then the Manatsu-san Respect unit

I've heard of these

You should know about these 2 units already

Inumen

Inumen?

We're Inumen

Watermelon

Wonder what that's about

And they just said "The Flower's Name"

Tulip

Its Tulip

Tulip

And then Himura-san

The Independents

[ Gathering of lone wolf members ]

Today, each unit will need to recruit new members

They'll give a presentation of what their activities are like and unit benefits

And if one of the Independents feels an urge to join a unit

they can be immediately accepted in

At the end we'll be asking all the Independents if they want to join a unit

Himura-san also

can elect to join one of the units

You'll ask me too?

Yes, which unit would you want to join

And if you were to join that unit

you'd have to abide by their rules

You don't have to join any of them

You're saying I could join the Manatsu-san Respect unit?

[ Shocking new addition? ]

You joining that group would be crazy

And first

going first will be the Sayuringo unit

There it is

That unit has a lot of influence

[ Ito Karin ]

Ah, that's right

[ Being in multiple units OK ]

She rushed over from the Watermelon unit

Yes, you're allowed to be part of several groups

Hey everyone, we're the well known Sayuringo unit

dozo yoroshiku onegaishimasu

They are well known

They are famous

We are the 4 active members of the unit

so originally

we joined as a group of anime lovers

and since we didn't have any friends

once we formed this unit

its like we all found that we could make friends with others

so then within Nogizaka

I believe we are the pioneer unit without a doubt

Sayuringo was a bigger pioneer than Manatsu-san Respect?

Completely!

[ Treated as the enemy ]

How do you feel about that as a Watermelon member?

The Watermelon unit is a different matter

You're fine with it then

And here are some of our unit activities

We release singles

That's pretty huge

Magazine columns

[ EX_taishu - Sayuringo has a regular Fantasy notes column ]

No way. This gets you more work then?

They're getting quite a few jobs from this

And then they released the unit single [ Hakumai-sama ]

And the ritual they do right before performing Hakumai-sama live is right here

Allright everybody, since this could be our last time doing this....

[ Each time might be their last ]

ganbari

macchun!

You do that every time?

You always end it with "This could be our last"

[ Unit greedy for business ]

It could be the last

And what are the benefits of joining Sayuringo?

You can be on a magazine cover

Magazine covers?

[ On the cover of Big Comic Spirits ]

And we also get called by gravure magazines

Myself and Sasaki Kotoko had never been on a magazine cover before

but thanks to the Sayuringo unit

It was all Sayuringo then?

[ The unit provides a direct connection to getting more work ]

That is remarkable

You might get more work joining them

There's no doubt our unit is the model of a successful unit

[ Within Nogizaka46 they represent the forming of a successful unit ]

And then they appear to be offering a special perk just for Himura

We also provide this benefit

You can be Mr. White Rice

OH YEAH!!

[ Aspired to become Mr. White Rice? ]

That's right. We have a song called Mr. White Rice so

together with the fans we say "Ready, set....Mr. White Rice"

there's a point in the show we say that

But we don't have a Mr. White Rice

What happens after that?

Really I just

praise Mr. White Rice with the others

But when I'm in your audience

and you say Mr. White Rice, I always say

hai hai

[ simulation complete ]

That's what I do

hai hai~

They created that mood

So happy

They're really targeting Himura-san for this

I feel bad for doing this to the Independents

this benefit was really only meant for me

All of you can't be Mr. White Rice

We don't know that, maybe one of them wants to take that title

And Ikuta likes rice right?

So Ikuta

you want to fight me for the title of Mr. White Rice?

I'm feeling the pressure

Got that right

hai

There you go

How about Shiraishi? You want my title?

I can't beat Himura-san

Got that right

[ Why the confirmation? ]

And these 4 have something to ask of Himura

What's the reason behind this?

We always wear the same poncho

its those red ponchos

and nobody washes them

and the smell...

[ Some kind of smell soaked in... ]

What is it? It smells like bondo

It smells like bondo then

Washing it won't get that smell out

That's why I'd like new ones

If Himura-san joins

he could make us new ones right?

Don't think so. I'd have to buy some right

[ Going along ]

Are you asking Himura-san for money?

For joining?

Its just that I'm not feeling any inclination to join your unit

[ If the problem can be fixed with money... ]

I get making your own costume, but getting everyone's costume...you should stop here

But I could join them

Himura-san could make his own Mr White Rice costume

That's right, since its only for me

Sure, go with a tank top and briefs

hai hai

I see, so I can do what I want as Mr. White rice

And some qualifications for joining our unit

here they are

Cute face and fast with the makeup

Cute face? They're all fine then right?

[ All clear the 1st requirement ]

Himura-san's face is also ok

Thank god I'm cute

C'mon Himura-san

you're disgusting

[ Forgot he was a monster ]

He could join too right?

Shitara-san meets your cute requirements right?

That's right Shitara-san...I don't know about that

Hey, what's wrong with me!

[ Don't want to call him cute ]

Fast with the makeup

fast makeup

[ All can be done in 30 minutes if its just the face ]

We can all be done in 30 minutes

All of you?

If its just the face, I can finish in 5 minutes

What else is there other than the face?

The hair is something else

I thought there was hair removal or something

That would be another 30 minutes

This area takes 30 minutes

[ Old lady joke ]

And also for those that join

if you have these qualifications, that would be great

finance and business knowledge

business and finance

There's a picture of Himura-san on there

[ Locked on ]

What's that about?

If someone in the unit has financial knowledge

all of us appear on shows

maybe if you could manage us

Himura-san would be good for that

I see

Well I also wouldn't say no to that

[ Someone who's been taken advantage of ]

Need some more control over the business and finances

They think of you as a wallet. That's messed up

[ Haven't you noticed? ]

This unit wants Himura-san

to join and shell out some money

Overthinking this isn't good

he's only saying this because he's not cute enough to join

Its because he can't join

But I am cute!

[ sensitive to remarks on his cuteness ]

And finally what are the aspirations of these 4?

Here it is

Our own concert

[ Assuming he'll join? ]

That's remarkable

You're going to be the sponsor

I'm not their sponsor

Himura-san is going to sponsor the concert

They've got me at their concert already

How big are your aspirations?

Our goal is Budokan

[ Goal is a live show at Budokan ]

I can't say they can't do it. They can do it

Can Himura-san appear too?

definitely

All right

Apples and Bananas with grapes

that's the Budokan right!

You sure you want this old man with you?

[ Strong Showa taste ]

So then the best group within Nogizaka

the successful Sayuringo unit

We'll be waiting for you to join

Please head back to your seats

So let's ask the Independents about that

Ikuta, what did you think about the Sayuringo presentation?

Well a lot of that was

targeting Himura-san

not sure if they want me to join

[ Targeting Himura caused resentment? ]

They really went after Himura-san right

What did you think Hoshino?

Eh? Hearing that

I don't have that kind of financial sense

or management skills

[ I lack the required skills ]

She thinks she has to

meet all their requirements

doesn't seem like they're going after me

How about Shiraishi?

Since it was all Himura-san, Himura-san

I also think I couldn't do it

But you're friends with Matsumura right?

We do get along well but

Taking over would be good right?

That sounds more like it

[ Sudden complexion change ]

That happens too right?

Units getting taken over by someone

The next presentation

Inumen

the play

all the members who appeared in the play "All dogs go to heaven"

this is a unit comprised of those members

Here are the main activities of the unit

Dog meetings

Who drew that?

Ah, of course

Isn't that scary with the gun there?

In the play

we used handguns

so its part of the Inumen image

I see

The handgun is a symbol of Inumen

These dog meetings take place

and they occur regularly

mainly at Shinuchi's place

or Saito Yuuri's house

we'll make hotpots

[ Dog meeting = hotpot party? ]

This is basically a hotpot party

even though they called it a dog meeting

If its a hotpot party I'm in

[ No reason to decline that ]

What kind of hotpots do you make?

Soy milk cream hotpots

That's something the ladies would like

or a seafood hotpot

What else do we make?

We also have gyoza parties

[ More food related parties! ]

Its not just hotpots

We also have birthday parties

[ Just a collection of party lovers? ]

What's up with this unit?

And occassionally we'll leave the house

and have karaoke parties

[ All about indulging in parties ]

These are the best kind of meetings

What's the meeting for?

This sounds great

the members have such a strong sense of unity

Up to this point there's been a lot of meetings

[ The parties have full attendance from all the members ]

That's amazing. Nobody's missed a meeting

Must be fun

Its a dog meeting but mainly what we do is

right here

we vent our daily frustrations

We all listen to everyone's "Well this happened to me recently"

Like airing complaints

We'll voice our complaints and then

we'll comment on a drama we watched

"That would never happen~"

This is just a girls night out type of party

By the way, what are the complaints about?

Stuff you can't talk about it seems

Ito Marika's face just froze

Must be serious stuff right?

But that's because

there's members there who will listen

So this is about private life or work, anything goes

they'll hear out anything

Yes, so if there's anything bothering Himura-san...

[ Was that an insult? ]

So you'd listen to my worries?

That's pretty enticing

[ Favorable impression! ]

And

the qualifications for joining Inumen

You must perform in the play

"All Dogs go to Heaven"

[ What? ]

But nobody can enter your unit with that

impossible right?

Essentially you couldn't be in the unit if you didn't perform in the play but

as of now

for a limited time, anyone can join us

[ It was all a setup ]

That was so close!

[ The one person truly ecstatic ]

So this is a first for us

saying that anybody can join

arigatou gozaimasu. So anyone can join

By the way

if Himura-san were to

join our unit

We'll provide these benefits

He can play the role of dog

I can play the dog role

so what does that mean

That has to mean you'll be the servant...

[ Entering the unit as a dog? ]

He'll be the unit's pet dog?

If they make a sequel of the play

[ If there's a sequel, Himura-san can play the dog ]

if that were to happen we'd love him to play the role of the dog

You sure about Himura-san being able to look like that picture?

He'd have to get surgery right here

[ Nose surgery required to play the role? ]

If I get a reverse mohawk going

dye the sides brown and get the plastic surgery on the nose

And then you'd have to have your fingers glued together

and you'd have to get paw pads attached

[ Also fully recreating the paw ]

Appearing in this play would bring high levels of risk

Higuchi what are your thoughts?

They've already formed such strong bonds

With the strong unity they've already formed

joining in now is like, will I really get along with them

That's what you thought?

hai

Pretty much

they bring in a lot

of their private lives

if I were to join, it would be better to keep it about work

[ Focused on business ]

This unit is more for enriching your private life

I'm all for making hotpots

so I'd like to join in on that

but they've already formed a strong connection from doing the play

Maybe the Independents should throw a hotpot party

[ Forming a new unit? ]

The Independents will become friends

They look like a unit

"Why does everyone feel the need to be in a unit"

[ Blind to their own personal shortcomings ]

That's what would end up happening right

Next is Watermelon

can they draw in new members?

These are the Watermelon members

onegaishimasu

Hold on they already have a set pose

This is the watermelon pose

[ Watermelon pose, proof of membership ]

This is after the watermelon is cut

If you could imagine that

Half a melon then

So you already have a pose

But they say Himura's face is a watermelon

[ watermelon face ]

It does look like a watermelon doesn't it

It really looks like it when I do this

Isn't that the sun?

[ Different part of summer ]

But for Himura-san, this is not something he's good with

Actually I hate eating watermelons

And that is no problem at all

Why are you named watermelon then?

None of us like watermelon

Eh? Why the name watermelon

We all want to stay on diet

out of these members

whoever loses the most weight

that person will win a prize in the summer

when we discussed this it was during summer

and watermelon sounded like it would be a good prize

We talked about it and it became watermelon

[ The prize for winning the weight loss battle was a watermelon ]

watermelon became the prize for the contest

So this is a diet unit?

But its more than that

Myself and these 3

us 4 get along well

and then Nyaa joined in later

[ From Naa to Nyaa ]

They call you Nyaa? Why Nyaa?

Nishino

Within Watermelon

she's Nyaa

Nyaaa...nyaa

[ Forced into it ]

Nishino, why did you join?

On last year's tour

going around the countryside, only those who wanted to go out

for dinner, I'd go with them

And I was with them a lot

You knew they were the Watermelon unit?

In the middle of the tour

"Ah, this is the Watermelons. Ahhh..."

[ Not much emotional attachment ]

And the activities of the Watermelon unit

Here it is

[ House party travel ]

[ Unit places importance on their private lives ]

That's it right there

That's the one

Up to now we've done all kinds of things

We've had a beef tongue party

That's all just beef tongue?

We wanted beef tongue

and since beef tongue is something it seems like you can eat forever

I ordered 2kg of beef tongue

[ Purchased 2kg of beef tongue for the party ]

I bought it off the internet

The staff where I ordered it from came over

And they worked hard cutting it for us

This party is amazing

We only ate beef tongue so it became a beef tongue party

And also, I don't have a picture of this one but

we also have our own hotpot parties

You got hotpots too?

[ hotpots are a must item ]

But you have hotpots with the other unit

I'll do hotpots for both of the units

You're like sumo-san then

You're like the sumo chef

[ Makes hotpots daily? ]

So you travel too?

And this has been mentioned on this show previously

For New Years this year all 5 of us went to Hong Kong

That's remarkable. You travel overseas

That's right

But wouldn't it be weird to see Himura-san in this?

Not at all

Just tell me your passport number

and I'll take care of it as coordinator

[ Leave everything to Karin the party coordinator ]

You took care of handling the beef tongue

Having someone like this makes the activities so much nicer

Having her is great. Allows people to relax

And then we have a motto. Here it is

[ freedom ]

That's creeping me out. What is it?

They wrote freedom in watermelon font

Before I mentioned the Hong Kong trip

we freely did whatever we wanted

For example, some of us really wanted to buy some egg tarts

it was me, Junna and Yuuri

and the others were tired

T-chan and Nyaa

they waited at a cafe

so the personal care of each person

takes priority

We watched over their heavy carry-on bags

[ Nyaa in charge of the bags ]

And after that

we had members who had to go and buy other things

Junna and T-chan went shopping

and myself and Yuuri and Nyaa stayed at the cafe

Wait so Nishino?

[ Nyaa always left at the cafe ]

Nyaa didn't move anywhere

Were you ok staying at the cafe?

I watched over everyone's bags, even at the airport

Nyaa did?

But Nyaa enjoyed the trip right?

Super fun!

[ According to Nyaa, she was satisfied ]

And also our group mail

gives a lot of freedom. Please take a look

I got experience doing kickboxing

Women and models have started doing kickboxing

I did that recently and informed the group

I was ignored and Saito Yuuri wrote she was at a cafe with mama

So not really a conversation

Nishino, what is that?

It's a gross cat

That's Nyaa right there

[ Skin and bones Nyaa ]

Why this cat?

So this is the feel of the Watermelon unit

So then

for entering the Watermelon unit

we have these benefits

There will be many more parties!

[ The parties throughout the year won't stop ]

Right now there's a lot of parties we're preparing for

Lots of parties are lined up

The sweet sake party

Kawago birthday party

Congratulations Junna party

and also planned we have

Karin and Nyaa's birthday parties

So all the birthdays

everyone celebrates?

Did you leave out the udon party?

Udon party. What's the udon party?

For those who want udon. Everyone eats udon

Do you fry up some tempura too?

Fried food party

[ mutual understanding ]

Leave it all to me

What's the deal with this guy

acting like he's going to join in

"I want a tempura party!"

[ Likely to join the watermelon unit? ]

And finally some benefits just for Himura

Here it is

You can go to everyone's homes

I can go to your house?

Well the parties happen at our individual homes

you can go have fun at their houses

Got it

And if Himura-san joins, you'd all go to his house?

Ah, I want to come over

Careful. Paparazzi will take pictures of you on the veranda

[ Once again falling prey to FRIDAY's cameras? ]

All 6 of us looking down

It'll be really fun, like I said earlier

at first Nyaa wasn't part of the group but

now after joining us

that's your line

It changed my life.

[ That's a lie ]

You made her say that?

You forced Nyaa to say that

That's not true

You rarely see that smile from her
