DON!

And Nogizaka Under Construction is underway

We are your hosts Bananaman

yoroshiku onegaishimasu

And over there are Nogizaka-chan

Ah ha, we have 3rd members

I have concerns

So then please announce

what's on the show today

The senpais are offering full support to the 3rd members

in the counseling room

Tonight

all the things that concern and confuse the 3rd members

the senpai members will use their own experience to perfectly answer their concerns

Today's show is to remove any anxiety that might be bothering the 3rd members

First up its the youngest one

Iwamoto Renka has this concern

I can't shout out "YAY!" in a loud voice on variety shows

What's wrong here?

Can't say it?

That "YAY"..is that the show opening?

Like on TV shows

they'll ask us to yell out "YAY" in response

So its the opening? What do you do after he yells "over there are Nogizaka-chan"

clap clap clap

But that's your best YAY chance

[ Greatest chance ]

I yell "YAY" daily

[ 1 yeah per day ]

Its like a disease he got from doing this job

But I couldn't do it at first and Himura-san overdoes it

Someone yells "Time for a tape change" and he yells back "YAY!"

[ Viva! Tape change ]

And they're not even shooting during a tape change

Reactions are important in any circumstance And they're not even shooting during a tape change

Reactions are important in any circumstance

Noone ever got mad from a YAY

But that's our explanation for most everything

But your senpais as idols

at first you guys would yell it right?

Let's find out

YAY!

YAY~

[ These are the senpais ]

Seriously these girls were able to do that after maybe half a year

they were able to pick it up faster than me

I always believed someone had hypnotized them or something

[ Without the presence of Hypnotist Jumonji ]

But its easy to understand her concern [ Without the presence of Hypnotist Jumonji ]

But its easy to understand her concern

It takes some time for that to come natural

Let's ask a senpai about that

So Matsumura

I think as long as you can get your voice at full volume

you don't have to use YAY

so if you like apples go ahead and yell "ringo"

[ If YAY doesn't work, yell something you like ]

RINGO

So just go with another word instead like ringo?

Isn't apple a strange thing to suddenly yell for a show opening?

Everyone's like WAHH and you're yelling RINGO Isn't apple a strange thing to suddenly yell for a show opening?

Everyone's like WAHH and you're yelling RINGO

But indeed this is a chance to open up your vocal chords

So do you have a favorite food?

Its chocolate

Try yelling chocolate then

You can yell chocolate. That's a good one

Here goes. Everybody yell "YAY" You can yell chocolate. That's a good one

Here goes. Everybody yell "YAY"

And we've begun

YAY!

CHOCOLATE!

Ah, she got drowned out

But your voice was still soft, can you get louder?

Are you yelling chocolate like you mean it! But your voice was still soft, can you get louder?

Are you yelling chocolate like you mean it!

[ Was that all out? ]

That was your all out chocolate?

Himura-san will show you how to yell chocolate at full power

Everyone say "YAY"

Here goes

He's about to show you how yelling chocolate should be done

Here goes

YAAY!

CHOCOLATE!!! YAAY!

CHOCOLATE!!!

CHOCOLATE!!!!

CHOCOLATE!

[ That's full power ]

kowai

You have to go for it

If you don't get to that level it won't get across

You're yelling chocolate here

You have to get the chocolate across

But it does sound off

First find a food that sounds like" YAY"

Ah, that's right. A food that sounds like "YAY" First find a food that sounds like" YAY"

Ah, that's right. A food that sounds like "YAY"

What would that be?

yay What would that be?

yay

YAY

yokan! yay!

yokan

Ah yokan works right?

yokan! Does that work?

Do you like sweet bean jelly?

I hate yokan

You love it. You'll be fine. You love it

[ You WILL love yokan ]

Its rare to hate sweet bean jelly

So do you like iyokan then?

I hate it

Hate it?

What's your problem?

[ Not getting anywhere ]

And next is Mukai Hazuki's concern

When I check my facial expressions in a mirror it looks cute but

on camera it doesn't look cute at all

So this one?

We have our dance lessons

and the mirrors there reflect everything

and also during those lessons

you're always looking at your reflection

During that time, since I'm usually in the back

I'm far away

so there I'll look cute but I'm far away

so there I'll look cute but

Its because she's far back right

But then on camera

like now for example

looking at it

"Huh, I looked so different in the mirror"

What's so different?

Its reversed

Ah, the mirror reverses it

But that happens to everyone, you think you look good for a picture Ah, the mirror reverses it

But that happens to everyone, you think you look good for a picture

and you look weird in the picture

Happens to everyone

Takayama this happens to you often right? Happens to everyone

Takayama this happens to you often right?

Like "What the hell is wrong with my face"

That's right. In the past I've taken so many really bad pictures

and I had to find ways to improve how I look on camera

like those unfiltered pictures they take

those pictures of me were so bad

so now I don't use a plain look like the one

I'm talking to you with now

Something more like this

I'll hold a look like this

I see that face all the time

that one is the image Himura-san has of Takayama

On music shows I'll look over to Takayama and she's like

She'll either be like this or this

Himura-san's impersonation of her face

but now I understand exactly what she's saying

You do this right?

I do

Takayama is fully aware of these things I do

Takayama is fully aware of these things

I fight to keep this area held in place, but if my eyes go dead its over

This is how it ends up

You did something to your mouth too

[ The mouth is weird ]

Now do it with your eyes locked in your best position

That's still weird

Even the final version is strange

The end is like Even the final version is strange

The end is like

yes yes yes

Raise the corners of your mouth

And how about the dead eyes with that?

Takayama, you're still moving your mouth

[ All just bizarre ]

Its the eyes

You only lock your eyes in a pose

I put some force into it You only lock your eyes in a pose

I put some force into it

And Sakurai

I also don't come out well in photos

its something I still worry about I also don't come out well in photos

its something I still worry about

According to Cameraman-san, they'll say this angle is good for you

since many of them will tell me that

I've started to figure out my good angles

[ Takes cameraman opinions into account ]

Since your own opinion may not be the correct answer

Maybe when you're discussing your photos for your idol goods

you'll be like "Why did I come out looking like this"

You'll likely have to deal with that

I've already experienced that

I'm sure you've had to agree to do poses you don't agree with

However

it often happens that you'll think you look bad in something when its really not

Himura-san also

That's right. I've been through this

Sorry to talk like I'm at the same level as you are

But it happens to me too

Himura-san, even though he appears like a monster on the exterior

when he's getting his picture taken

there's certain pictures Himura-san hates personally

Like how his passport photo came out weird

Its like Sakurai was saying, you have an affinity for certain cameramen-san

and the cameraman I despise most, is that passport center cameraman

He's the worst

So that

your passport or license photos are for identification So that

your passport or license photos are for identification

there's no need to look good in those

But the first thing he told me was to part my bangs

I moved my hair like pow-pow-pow

and he kept ignoring me

finally I stretched it out like streeetch and he kept ignoring me

finally I stretched it out like streeetch

Eh? This is what you want?

Yes just like that is good

Then he asked me to draw in my chin

And he still brushed me off so I did this one

That's how it came out

That's on your passport for 10 years

Really can't stand it

I haven't seen much change in him

in how he looks

but he really hates pictures like that

It happens to Himura-san

And next

Kubo Shiori's concerns And next

Kubo Shiori's concerns

All the dances I've practiced, if I mess up one time the whole dance gets thrown off

I'd like to know how to deal with that if it happens at a live show All the dances I've practiced, if I mess up one time the whole dance gets thrown off

I'd like to know how to deal with that if it happens at a live show

Ah, this has to be something common

Are you running into people and such?

During rehearsal

we have our positions

there are times when someone will mistakenly end up in someone else's position

I'll think "What do I do now?"

and if she notices and we get out of sync

that mistake stays in my head

Ah, so it'll get progressively worse

Ikuta what do you think of her problem?

Of course when you mess up

since the mistake clearly shows up on your face Of course when you mess up

since the mistake clearly shows up on your face

Its kind of like

even if you make a mistake

don't express it, let your face dance

Let your face do the dancing

Of course you need to properly apologize

but not during the performance

Got it

Sakurai

what do you think?

I've also made a fair amount of mistakes what do you think?

I've also made a fair amount of mistakes

All of you have had your mistakes right?

Of course you have

There's been times I've forgotten the choreography

or I've forgotten where my position is

or I'll forget the lyrics

You're a mess!

[ Can't do anything ]

But I don't believe a mistake is something that bad

since its a live show

Ah at that time

doing everything perfect sounds good but

there's good points to seeing something not go right at a live

If you become too terrified to make a mistake

there's going to be times where it will cause you to freeze up

So you can just regain yourself

I've had to do it before

She said earlier I've had to do it before

She said earlier

when someone mistakenly enters into your position

you lose your place

Does that happen often?

It happens

I've also barged into another girl's position

It's like oh no I'm in the wrong spot

But you can keep going

I can keep going

And if you build trust in another girl

she'll let you into her position

They don't just kick you out of there

Ikuta did you use to do this?

How many times have you been out of position?

There's been many times where I've been in the wrong spot and caused trouble for everyone

And there was the story about Shiraishi pushing you forward

Walk out on 3.5 And there was the story about Shiraishi pushing you forward

Walk out on 3.5

That's right

She comes out on 3.5 That's right

She comes out on 3.5

She'll miss the position and things get a little off

When you started you must have been nervous right?

I couldn't do it in the beginning its only now that I can do that

arigatou gozaimasu

Next is Sato Kaede's concerns

I waste money like crazy

and then I notice I have no more money

plus my mom won't send me any money

So what's this one about?

I have all the intention to pay for something

You have the intention to pay

I'll take out my money and from what's left

I'll think, I'm not going to use any more of it

so I won't put my money where the cash goes

i'll hide that money in another pocket

Trying to separate out the money you won't use

I separate it but

I'm like just a little bit is fine, and I'll gradually use all of it

until its all gone

What are you wasting your money on then?

Like clothes

and then frequent trips to the konbini

This is a common concern right

it happens on TV shows too

like squandering money everywhere

[ This is a personal concern ] like squandering money everywhere

[ This is a personal concern ]

At happens at work too

this is something everyone has dealt with

Like those students who live on their own

getting all that independence after moving out from their parents house

But your mother won't send money getting all that independence after moving out from their parents house

But your mother won't send money

did she suddenly cut you off?

She used to send money but would say

"Don't keep wasting your money on junk"

Ah, that's right

When your parents give you money

they expect you to hold on to it, and you're telling her the money's all gone

I looked back at some of the texts with my mom

and its all about money

For example?

Its mostly "stop wasting your money"

there was one time she used formal language on me

Its scary when they use that formal language on you

[ I would highly recommend that you refrain from spending money. ]

She's telling you its serious this time

Ah, we have a similar concern

Let's take a look at Yoda's then Ah, we have a similar concern

Let's take a look at Yoda's then

The money I saved in a piggy bank gradually gets used up

and is all gone within a month

And that's when all the bills come in

I'll misunderstand how to use money

You misunderstand how to use it?

My piggy bank is a jar

I save all my money in a jar

Since I shop online and its all pay later

You get billed later on for online purchases right

Those bills come and I'll run out of money

So you get the money out of the piggy bank

Its just a jar without any kind of lid

since its just a jar

I can easily take money out

So its really not for saving money at all now

I can budget for cash on delivery purchases but So its really not for saving money at all now

I can budget for cash on delivery purchases but

I'm not prepared for bills that come a month later

Not thinking those bills are coming is pretty messed up

but I'm sure others have dealt with this

Ikuta

I don't really have a desire to buy more and more

and I actually have more trouble deciding what to spend money on I don't really have a desire to buy more and more

and I actually have more trouble deciding what to spend money on

but that need for stuff would make me like

I need to work even more to afford that stuff and everything would turn out ok but that need for stuff would make me like

I need to work even more to afford that stuff and everything would turn out ok

I'll think if I just work harder it will all turn out fine

[ Wasting money is fine as long as you're earning ]

So don't put all that effort into saving, find ways to earn more

Got it

And then about your mom not sending any money

if you'd explain your situation in better detail And then about your mom not sending any money

if you'd explain your situation in better detail

and tell her the details by phone instead of text, that would be more helpful

[ Explaining your situation will get you that money ]

And then at the handshakes

you need a lot of clothes for those events

and there's a lot of travelling expenses involved

if you explain it in that way

that you're not wasting money and you're really in a bad situation

then the money should come

Understood

[ obedient ]

Nishino, Nishino

what do you think? You like clothes right

Yes, I do

How do you handle this?

I shop online

You buy something, but now you're out of money, what would you do? I shop online

You buy something, but now you're out of money, what would you do?

For me, my parents are always so nice to me

Its never been a problem

[ Money has never been an issue ] Its never been a problem

[ Money has never been an issue ]

But instead

its more about

have an outfit just for the handshakes

don't buy something just for that, decide on a single outfit have an outfit just for the handshakes

don't buy something just for that, decide on a single outfit

But for those handshake events

isn't wearing the same clothes everytime considered wrong in some way?

Its not considered wrong

But wearing the same clothes each time

about that

if everyone brought inside a cardboard box

the clothes they didn't want anymore

and everyone could pick out what they like

and the people that got clothes could give proper thanks

if you did something like that

you wouldn't need to buy clothes anymore

Nah

Well I can't really ask you to do that

[ Can't say anything from his lowly position ]

All you'd be left with are clothes that show bare shoulder

[ Unpopular clothing gets exposed ] All you'd be left with are clothes that show bare shoulder

[ Unpopular clothing gets exposed ]

But that would definitely work out

Clothes right

You all want clothes

Lately I've given it serious thought

Serious thought? Lately I've given it serious thought

Serious thought?

Like clothes, what do I really need them for?

You need them!

At first all she wanted was clothes, now at the end she doesn't need them?

[ Extremes ]

And next

the concerns of Yamashita Mizuki

The balance between my face and body is weird

my face is large, I can't line up next to other members

hai

What is this about?

Its kind of

I have a big face

Would you please step up front for us? I have a big face

Would you please step up front for us?

The balance is weird?

I don't see anything strange

I have a big face

Which part is big?

Her head then?

The back of my head sticks out

So you think the crown of your head is big and sticks out The back of my head sticks out

So you think the crown of your head is big and sticks out

The 1st time I appeared on Nogichuu

when I watched from home

it was like I'm the only one with the big face

No way

Seriously?

You really believe you were the only one?

[ How about this one? ]

That made Akimoto get up

Sensei will have to wait till the end to answer

[ You'll have your time later ] Sensei will have to wait till the end to answer

[ You'll have your time later ]

So then you don't like how your balance looks

And Manager-san also

When I look at Asuka-chan in the dressing room

But Asuka-chan, come on

she's almost at an alien level, her face is so small

But her face is so small right, she was sleeping she's almost at an alien level, her face is so small

But her face is so small right, she was sleeping

and to wake her up

I lifted up her head

And it was her foot right?

[ Mysterious mistake ]

That's not it

When I lifted her up That's not it

When I lifted her up

I was like "Ah, her head is so small" so after that

I touched my own head and it was like 2 of hers

[ 2 Asuka heads? ]

Saito Asuka's head?

That's right Saito Asuka's head?

That's right

First from the senseis, someone else

Like what does Takayama think?

I'm also on the larger side

when I'm getting my picture taken actually if I take a step back

then it makes the other person look big

So I'll step forward

Its better for you to get closer up

What I'll do is put my shoulder behind but keep my head in line with theirs

Up front is better

This group though as a whole

compared to the average

the faces of all of you as a unit is smaller than the average

You understand don't you

I really get that feeling

When I'm walking around the city

and I check out a lot of the other girls

ero ero girls?

[ Looking for ero women? ]

Various other girls right

When I see them its like Nogizaka girls have such small faces and heads

And for me since I was little

my mom would tell me "Your head is so small"

In spite of that, joining this group makes me think I have a big head my mom would tell me "Your head is so small"

In spite of that, joining this group makes me think I have a big head

I really get that feeling

And on top of that having a big head in this group, you'd still be considered small by average

compared to the normal level

However

this is a gathering of a nationwide collection of girls with small heads that you're comparing youself to

So sensei, here is your chance, sensei

I'll leave this to you

She says her balance is bad I'll leave this to you

She says her balance is bad

and it troubles her

I wonder what would happen if we lined up

Because you're the one with the huge face I wonder what would happen if we lined up

Because you're the one with the huge face

[ Not giving up the title ]

Oh, I mean your head [ Not giving up the title ]

Oh, I mean your head

My face is small

I believe

Could you line up for us? I believe

Could you line up for us?

I've been somewhat curious about this

I've taken pictures with her before, but not side by side

So then allow me to stand next to you

Let's stand along this line

Do it right

If you could get up to that line

Ah of course

like this you can tell

She's way smaller like this you can tell

She's way smaller

Akimoto appears much bigger

When you did this trying to match up to the line, that's when I noticed it

when they showed that part on camera

I was watching the whole time

Both of you look down at the line to match up again

Look, you can see the difference

Akimoto's head appears to be huge

She also seems to have more on the side

Why is that?

Well I really can't say why

She has no neck either!

Matsumura, what was that?

Matsumura you just wanted to insult her there Matsumura, what was that?

Matsumura you just wanted to insult her there

But really I think she has no neck

No neck right

And Mizuki-chan has a long neck

I don't see any problem with her balance

The balance is super good

But from here it really does appear like the same amount of largeness

Just Akimoto is a little huger

That's still bad, especially since you're sitting far away

Right there, you look about the same That's still bad, especially since you're sitting far away

Right there, you look about the same

But somehow Akimoto has taken this

and made it her charm point

she's cashing in on her head

[ The big head business ]

But you have done something with it

That's right. Saito Asuka for example

there's many times I'll have to stand next to small faced members

The times we have to line up for pictures

I'll also notice how short I am

when that happens and I have this internal conflict, I know I can't do anything about it

Doesn't matter right

Since being large makes no difference

There it is. She's Kojima Yoshio

But its a woman saying it

But to be serious, when we take pictures

and someone says that other girls face is so small, it makes me think YAY

But Takayama just said that

rather than trying to hide it by stepping back, the other way feels better for everyone

I just have one problem with that

Like when you look at a lake, you'll fall in?

[ Can't support the weight ]

That's not it at all

Your concern then?

My concern is that Mizuki is so pretty

she's already gotten model work in magazines

Her visual appeal is already complete

So putting her into this world

What world?

My world, the world of big heads

The world of big heads she says

You think you're a creature now?

[ Talking about the spirit world? ]

In that world its Akimoto and Giant Shirota

[ Top 2 in that world ]

But after saying all this

Even if it is Akimoto we're talking about it, her head is actually small looking closely

they can tell at the handshake events

Its really surprising at the handshakes

the people who walk up

Ah Manattan. EH!?

Your head is smaller than I imagined

That's why for a creature a big head is at around this level

Yamashita is fine

What was her problem again?

[ Quick with the jokes ]

But when I look at Akimoto its like

when I look closely, she looks like a football player

If you had more to your shoulder, you'd have more balance

You should do a gag about the weight of your head

Like ah my head's falling over, time to push it back

Ah yes, something like that

Ah its drooping again, right back up

If you'd excuse me, I need to prop up my head

Yes that one, you should do that

But nobody laughed

Try it like that

Yes yes yes

[ Needs some work ]

Little more practice
