Nogizaka46 and

Bananaman's Himura as Himuko, in a collaboration

A regular guest on 12 TV shows

he's a very popular comedian

Himura Yuki

will devote himself to supporting his cute little sisters

in this giant challenge

And then

if front of a crowd of 40,000

Its the miracle at Jingu stadium

however behind the scenes

How about laying out right there?

The wig is off

Run for it, run for it

Run! Get out of there! Run for it, run for it

Run! Get out of there!

The setup laid out by Bananaman

their shocking mission moves forward

Tonight

we're going completely behind the scenes

Nogizaka46's official oniichan

will be fully documented

[ Day 1 - TV Tokyo ]

ohayou gozaimasu

10 days before the performance

at the TV Tokyo Music Festival

everything starts from this day

Himura this time

will collaborate with Nogizaka46 on the song

Influencer

Widely talked about being the fastest in Nogizaka history

the song that features a dance of the highest difficulty level

And with the busy Himura

including this day

he'll get 2 practices prior to the live performance including this day

he'll get 2 practices prior to the live performance

This has become something truly difficult

In charge of choreography

[ Choreography - Seishiro ]

Seishiro, the person behind the choreography of the song

will give a lecture

First

the parts of the dance

he's watching a video of the members dancing to get an idea

You think I can do all that?

You want me to pull that off for a live TV show?

Right here is where Himuko becomes center

I've made center of Nogizaka

And immediately the dance lessons start

First

he must literally learn each movement from the top however

Influencer

is a collection of detailed movements that have to be fit together

How far have we gotten so far?

Still around the beginning of time?

About the start of the sun and earth

If he keeps joking he won't make any progress

In any case its slow going

as he learns the dance in small sections

He reviews all the small detailed movements

Let's take it from the top

Oh, from the top?

That stuff at the beginning

I remember none of it

Doing this

starting back at the beginning

he repeats the same moves over and over

However

Would you like a small break?

hai!

That was fast! Quick answer

Quick to get to a break

Himura Yuki, 45 years old

he has no time and no physical endurance

he runs into various difficulties

and on this day

just like that 2 hours have passed

Would you like to try it once with music?

And here

for the first time he'll try the dance at actual speed

Not even close

the song's too fast

This is remarkable

Sensei just collapsed on the floor

That was a shock

That's impossible

Its fast

This dance is so fast Its fast

This dance is so fast

You made this

And then taking another hour

he shows him the choreography all the way to the end

and practice for this day is over however

I'm not remembering this

Sensei, how much time

do you have to help me?

This week for example

This week if the schedule lines up

Himura is asking sensei for more practice time

and completely rearranges his schedule

to accomodate a lot more practices

Will this work for you?

Well in any case

as it is right now, if we're talking 100%

I haven't even got 2% of it down as it is right now, if we're talking 100%

I haven't even got 2% of it down

That's bad

Gotta do it

After this when he gets home, how much will he remember?

I'm kind of looking forward to that

I'm slightly worried about him

[ Day 2 - TV Tokyo ]

I don't have any of the choreography down

Its not good

I'm not getting it at all

Its hard right?

On this day there's no sensei, so its self practice

Dancing slowly while watching the dance video

he goes over all the movements

Staff setup a large monitor for him to use but

Himura ignores it and uses video on his phone to practice

Why the phone?

Practice day 3

before sensei shows up

he's encouraged to practice on his own

Sensei makes slight corrections to his movements

He's demanding high quality of his dancing

Practice day 4

On this day the students help him out

its his first time checking his movements in a group

And from this day forward

he'll practice the song all the way through

And its here that Himura faces a giant obstacle

Oh no, this is scaring me

He doesn't have the endurance

and he collapses on the floor as soon as the last move finishes

Ahh, yabai

he has all the moves just about memorized

[ Day 5 - TV Tokyo ]

On this day

he gets personal instructions from sensei's boss

with practice split up into several blocks

he throws his body into it while trying to avoid mistakes

He's starting to get it

And then

Sensei recommends a freestyle section

and its decided he'll do the Himuko pose

Practice Day 6

This day is also group practice of the entire song

and that's when this character comes to give encouragement

Who's this?

Oh, its me

WAH! You startled me!

You're in my way!

Would you stop for a second? I came all the way over here

You need to wait for the dance to finish

You got this down?

You got this many people helping you?

They all came here just to help me

After this I'll be meeting Nogizaka tonight for rehearsal

before that all these people are helping me get ready

And they're all wearing name tags for me

Ah, you only called in people with the same name?

You're wrong

So?

How's it going?

That was the first time doing it without the mirror

Yes, no mirror that time

With the mirror you tend to stare at it

How's Himura doing?

Is he getting it?

He's amazing

Am I really doing ok?

There's only 2 more days for him

But you think you'll make it

I think it'll be very very close

Possibly right at the cutoff

Out would be pretty bad

Its a live broadcast so of course I'm terrified Out would be pretty bad

Its a live broadcast so of course I'm terrified

You're going to practice a little more then?

Just a little more

The recording of our show [Why Did You Come to Japan?] started

No, I got time The recording of our show [Why Did You Come to Japan?] started

No, I got time

I still have some time

The meeting room is just next door, it'll be fine

The meeting room is nearby

Himura-san is permanently in meeting rooms

That's because I'm the meeting room comedian

Do your best then

sumimasen onegaishimasu

After that

he goes to the location of where the live performance will be

and its just about time for the rehearsal with the members to take place

That's where the performance was?

Struggling?

I'm really struggling

hehehe...

I can't watch this...

I might not be able to do this I can't watch this...

I might not be able to do this

Seriously now

if I bump into you or something, I'm really sorry Seriously now

if I bump into you or something, I'm really sorry

Don't worry about it

I'm gonna laugh, what do I do?

And here

Nishino and Shiraishi

get instructions for the Himuko pose

The 3 of them will do the same pose

which will be added to Himura's performance

And rehearsal finishes without issue

and the conclusion

So how did it look?

I got that center position today didn't I?

Now you definitely can't laugh

That may not be possible

Thanks for all this

onegaishimasu

And then

at home everyday he reviewed everything that he learned in practice

finally

its the day of the performance

Himura gets to the studio early

and while he's verifying his outfit is ready

quickly he reviews the choreography

and then

a final rehearsal is rushed through

Yesterday I was pretty nervous

and I woke up in the middle of the night

and I couldn't sleep

so I decided to dance late at night by myself

and the stuff I thought I had down, that's what I forgot

I thought I would just fix the areas I was worried about and the stuff I thought I had down, that's what I forgot

I thought I would just fix the areas I was worried about

but I was forgetting parts I wasn't expecting like "What was that"

That's how I'm feeling

I'm fairly nervous about this one

And then all the way leading up to it

during any free time, he reviews the moves

And its about time to get backstage

Let's head on out there

We're heading out?

Ah. onegaishimasu

What is it?

What's up?

I thought you didn't notice me

Oh, I noticed

We're going out separately

Doesn't feel at all

like I'm about to appear on this show

I'm counting on you

nervous?

I am nervous to be perfectly honest

Shitara, you're going out already?

See ya

Any last words right before the performance?

It really feels like my stomach is about to come out

Well anyhow

I've practiced

and its a one time only performance with Nogizaka

I'd like to leave memories of this one

All right. Let's do this!

it's coming up

TV Tokyo's live broadcast of their Music Festival

its right about

time for Nogizaka46 its right about

time for Nogizaka46

yoroshiku onegaishimasu

domo domo yoroshiku onegaishimasu

domo domo

Lets call him out

Himura-san

konbanwa

yada domo. konbanwa

He's huge

He's huge. This is disturbing

konbanwa. I am Himuko

domo!

Its too gross, I'm about to hurl

What was that?

I said you're gross, I'm about to throw up

Hey, who's gross now

Let me get rid of all those gross feelings...YAY!

Check the skills!

Feels like I've heard that one before

And its off to standby position

And here Himura makes final preparations

He changes into the same outfits as the members

And finally

Let's proceed

Nogizaka46 Let's proceed

Nogizaka46

and Himuko

in a limited special collaboration and Himuko

in a limited special collaboration

This is Influencer

dozo This is Influencer

dozo

Asuka-chan I see you laughing

Its coming up right

Nishino, are you laughing right there?

Ah, there it is

Everyone is so good

But that was impressive

That's the look he's been practicing

center, center. There's no way

You can't center

You took the center spot You can't center

You took the center spot

In the middle of the song this huge man appeared

Everyone was laughing trying to do that

I wasn't trying to be center but everyone moved away

and left me out there I wasn't trying to be center but everyone moved away

and left me out there

But that was some impressive dancing

perfect right?

That was wonderful

And that's a really difficult dance right?

Its a tough one And that's a really difficult dance right?

Its a tough one

That's right. Influencer turned into a diet for me

And then

the performance is complete

I messed up!

He's telling people he messed up

kawaii

I still messed up

Of course you get that rush for the real performance

gomenne

Its over then

That was amazing

But I really did make a mistake out there

During the 1st half

I didn't make the turn

It's disappointing

I didn't notice at all

Ever since yesterday

I kept forgetting parts that I thought I had mastered

To look at you right now say that so stoically

It still bothers me

How did he do Captain Sakurai?

I thought he was really good

I was directly behind him

and Himura-san was constantly in my field of vision

I thought "This guy is really moving!"

It was moving

I was so happy

You were happy?

I never thought we'd get a chance to dance together

Himura-san even shaved his armpits for this

Clean shaven

[ Himura mid-shave ]

He's silky smooth! [ Himura mid-shave ]

He's silky smooth!

Well of course

he's trying to get closer to Nogizaka's image

It made me feel out of place, there's a lot of movements like this

But that wasn't the only thing that made you look out of place

I wanted to get rid of anything that didn't look right

I wanted us to be a unit

That's so admirable

And your stage costume, is that made of the same fabric as theirs

Its the same. The costume designer went all out just to get this done in time

Its the same

That's incredible

But seriously thank you so much

Himura-san, otsukaresama

Thanks everybody

I feel bad about my mistake

This is like a dream come true

And with that all is finished

or so we thought

Ah, you practiced so hard

but it went by so fast

But in the middle I forgot

I really forgot the dance

You seem really upset by that

There's some lingering disappointment from that part

You want a do-over for that part?

I think I'd like another shot

its like "if only~"

Its so disappointing

Because it leaves you with regret?

But doing that on live TV is so intimidating

huh?

If that's the case, how about you show up over there?

In a couple days, they're playing Jingu right?

That's correct

Why don't you come out for their Jingu live?

You're saying I should show up at their Jingu concert?

That's not enough reason to show up there You're saying I should show up at their Jingu concert?

That's not enough reason to show up there

Well of course the Nogizaka fans would want to see that in person

And keep it a secret. Don't even tell the members you're doing it

What about Nogizaka's management?

There's no way they'd go along with that

Any high level executives of Nogizaka here?

Anyone that makes the big decisions regarding Nogizaka here?

Are you joking?

Just leave this to me

You don't need to do this...

Hey, you've appeared on TV Tokyo's music festival

Himura-san has also played Budokan

and you've danced at Kohaku

let's do Jingu too!

They won't allow it

from Nogizaka's viewpoint

Leave this to me

Excuse me! I wanted to thank Konno-san once again

That collaboration turned out so well Excuse me! I wanted to thank Konno-san once again

That collaboration turned out so well

We've done a lot with them on the show but

never done anything like this with them

I thought that really went well never done anything like this with them

I thought that really went well

I also thought that was amazing

Its such a difficult dance I also thought that was amazing

Its such a difficult dance

He did such a good job to make it that far

Yes especially with the dancing in Influencer

But he's still upset about making that mistake

But I really did make a mistake out there during the 1st half

and I think it probably stood out pretty bad But I really did make a mistake out there during the 1st half

and I think it probably stood out pretty bad

Will they be performing Influencer at Jingu?

Yes they will

Oh, they are

Ehhh...

sooooo

Since it seems that Himura is still mad about his mistake

and since they'll be performing

It would be nice if you didn't mention it to the members

and he came out for a surprise performance

Impossible right. No matter how you think about it

But the fans would be delighted

The fans would love it

Konno-san!

How about

along those lines, and keeping it secret from the members

if Himura were to show up. On July 2nd

we were scheduled to watch the show anyway

They'd be delighted we were scheduled to watch the show anyway

They'd be delighted

There you go. It's on!

Now hold on a second

Are you really saying yes?

So if you want to get over the disappointment do it perfect next time

I'm really performing?

In exchange, no mistakes

C'mon now

I'm gonna poop my pants!

Go ahead and poop yourself, but no mistakes

You're telling me to poop myself

That day we're expecting an attendance of 40,000

I can't do this

I've never performed in front of that many people I can't do this

I've never performed in front of that many people

It'll be fine

More people than that are watching you on TV

Is it really ok for me to perform?

Of course

Can you really make such a decision so lightly?

This is how the music industry works

Without me even realizing it, Shitara-san gained all this influential executive power

Being adaptable is very important

adaptable

If that's so, I'll do my best

I'm really looking forward to it

understood

4 more days right

To be continued!

You're getting a do-over

Ah, sorry to call you out here

It was that easy, now you're playing Jingu

That guy is too adaptable!

5 hours prior to the start of the Jingu show

hai

Jingu!

We've arrived

We're here

Right now

Since we're keeping this a secret from the members

right now they're in the middle of rehearsal

the members are going to be very close by

I probably shouldn't yell out "Oy!" right now

They're directly below us

We even had to sneak into the stadium

We need to keep you from getting found out

prior to the surprise entrance We need to keep you from getting found out

prior to the surprise entrance

Its better if I don't get caught

So from now on Its better if I don't get caught

So from now on

since they're in rehearsal, since your entrance is a secret

like where should Himura-san come out from

we don't know the right place for your entrance

Don't know anything

Where should I stand out there?

I could wait in standby in a completely different spot

To find a good spot

in this venue

check the sight lines for example

you need to do a full inspection

if Himura-san is spotted

walking around lost, the surprise is ruined

But if I have to come out but don't

they'll just perform Influencer as usual

[ No impact on the live show ]

But we've come this far so I'd like to avoid that

I'm getting excited

Since now

they're in the middle of rehearsal

Himura-san, if you would

watch the rehearsal for us

while they're on stage

But they're in the middle of rehearsal!

No way. I shouldn't go out there

I think you should get a sense of the atmosphere
