We are your hosts Bananaman

yoroshiku onegaishimasu

And they are Nogizaka-chan

kawaii

Thanks for waiting

Shall we go

Stop right there...what was that?

[ What's wrong with you Yumiki ]

All I heard was the "Thanks for waiting" though

Are you talking about going to the summer festival in yukatas together?

Thanks for waiting

Shall we go? nice one

nice

They're wearing yukatas

Well isn't this nice

kawaii

well I think Himura-san looks really cute

[ Exceeded expectations ]

I am Bakabon

[ The real Bakabon ]

domo arigatou

Himura-san truly looks like a sumo

[ Himura takes a stroll ]

kawaii

Have any of you put on a yukata in your free time this summer?

not really

Did you go to any summer festivals?

I did not

But do you go to the beach to hang out?

I do not...

How about going to see the fireworks?

I didn't go

ah you've been?

I've gone to one

It was after work

I was still in uniform and only caught the last 5 minutes

Last 5 minutes?

Well I was hoping that Ikeda didn't respond so I could say

You people don't do anything

[ That was where it was heading ]

This is why we're doing today's show Himura-san

onegaishimasu

Here it goes

Let's enjoy the summer in studio

Summer Girl Championships

Tonight the members are wearing yukatas

and will play summer themed games for us

The girl that best symbolizes summer will be named Summer Queen

We have a prize for the Summer Queen

eh? A prize?

There's a prize?

Please don't get your hopes up

All these expensive prizes recently have made you greedy

[ Prizes hit by inflation ]

Yoda in particular really perked up just now

Its nothing big

oh~

You can't start sulking like this

[ This show is not about giving out prizes ]

So was anybody here born in July August or September?

hai

ah there's a couple

You changed your mind?

[ Ogawa's birthday is in June ]

August?

My birthday is August 8th

There it is

8-8 day

Its 8-8 day

88888

Its true

So you must like summer

I love summer

I'm certain nobody loves summer more than me

[ Proclaims to be the summer girl ]

You'd like to win the title of Summer Queen then

I want to win this

Right away let's go to the 1st game

onegaishimasu

Summer Song

Intro Battle

Its a name that song battle with just summer songs

however Bananaman who loves this game will also play along

Out of 5 songs the members that can't outscore Bananaman

will be forced to drink a limited edition summer punishment drink

These 5 people will go first

Can they beat Bananaman?

This is nice seeing you standing like this

Ogawa is looking very cute right now

Inoue is looking kind of sexy right now

Yumiki

of course its the neck thing....what was the name?

Was it Team Neck?

Neck Princess

[ Its a weird name ]

Neck Princess

Traditional clothes look so much better on a Neck Princess

She does look good

Could you show us all the hair decorations in the back?

ah that's cute

Yukatas are so awesome

[ Men can't resist it ]

Tsutsui looks good too

The traditional clothing gives her this different aura

I wish she was making me a soup of some kind

[ Ayame the young restaurant owner ]

She looks like an owner

Kubo looks cute too

The red kimono looks good on her

Everyone looks wonderful

Now then everybody

Himura-san we're going to dominate this game

We sure will

We'll make all of you drink up

[ Guaranteeing a big win ]

Let's get started

Each correct answer is a point

ready go

Nogizaka Summer Intro

Take that!

kowai

hai Yumiki kowai

hai Yumiki

uwah! Give me a second

natsu ga sugi kaze azami~

kaze azami~

[ Trying to find the answer in the lyrics ]

Please hurry this along

hai hai

[Natsu Moyou]

Its [Shonen Jidai]

[ Shonen Jidai by Yōsui Inoue ]

yabai

uwah! yabai

Ogawa you doing ok over there?

I'm probably not going to be ok

But its only summer themed songs

Also you should have answered "I'll be ok"

I'll be ok

I'll be ok

This is a Himura-san thing though

If I asked you "Are you ok?"

I'll be ok

[Himura Ken ]

Only Himura-san can do this

well here goes

ready go

Nogizaka Summer Intro

That's a Nogizaka song

Yumiki is fast on the button

She's quick

But she's having trouble thinking of the title

[Natsu no Free & Easy]

Who got it?

ah Ogawa

[Taiyou Knock]

yabai yabai

That was not good

This is your own song

Just edit the scene so it starts with Aya

Did I press the button?

[ This will not be cut ]

There's no penalties for wrong guesses so keep guessing

Kubo has not shown her powers so far

I've been pressing the button though

Everybody is

yabai yabai yabai yabai

ready go

Nogizaka Summer Intro

I know this!

I know this

I know this!

They're lucky...they get to talk it over

[ 2 man discussion ]

What's up?

That's unfair

I was simply telling Himura-san how nice he looked in a yukata

[ Just chatting ]

domo arigatou

Its not fair

[Mecha Holiday]

[ Yeah! Mecha Holiday by Matsuura Aya ]

YAY~

Mecha Holiday~

Mecha Holiday~

YAAY

[ Haruna Ai ver ]

You're in trouble

If we get one more its over for you

[ Punishment is near ]

We've got 2 correct answers already

Its a punishment drink

1 more and its over

Don't press that button

And here goes

Nogizaka Summer Intro

What was the title? I know this

hai Inoue

Yuzu-san's [Natsuiro]

correct answer

That guarantees nobody will outscore Bananaman

so that means

The 5th question will be worth 2 points per variety rules

If we get this one right

then you're all drinking

That's it exactly

And here goes

ready go

Nogizaka Summer Intro

eh? What is it?

huh?

Yumiki got it

What is it?

Utada Hikaru-san

[ And the title? ]

wah! yes Kubo

aiko-san

aiko-san?

Wait...which one is it?

I know its an aiko-san song

This is aiko?

aiko-san?

[Hanabi]

[ Hanabi by aiko ]

You've done it

That was close!

You got it

good job

aiko-san is probably delighted right now

I happen to love aiko-san

But that means Kubo picks up 2 points

so she tied us...shouldn't everyone have to drink?

[ Nobody outscored them ]

That's how it works

Everybody gets a punishment drink

3

2

1

dozo

blech~

This is not a variety show reaction

How is it Yumiki?

ah!

UNNNGH~

Are you a monster now?

Let's move on to the next game

Himura-san onegaishimasu

Summer Acting Ability Battle

YAY

Coming up they'll do acting scenes in 3 different summer categories

If they're good it could lead to summer dramas or movies

they'll get job offers

That's true

Of course some members have acting experience

But first....Himura-san onegaishimasu

Here goes

Summer One Phrase Category

There's one line of dialogue

and the 3 of them will recite that line to best fit the scene

its a battle to see how well they can improvise

The 1st phrase is right here

Wait

A summer version of "wait"

yabai

kawaii

Wait!

[ Don't skip ahead ]

Up first its Yoda

What's the backstory for her saying "wait"

That Yoda is such a good actress

Yoda is currently working on a drama

wait....hai

The scene for Yoda's "wait"

Here it is

Test of courage

Everybody's scared and her friend is about to walk into danger when she says

wait

Can I change the script a little?

no you can't

Why are you always trying to change the rules?

[ Crazy Yoda ]

I might do it unintentionally

You can add stuff later but you must say "wait"

ah I got it

You ready?

hai

Let's get started then

onegaishimasu

Wait!

[ The scene ends with her getting guillotined ]

You came out of the screen

[ 3D actress ]

That was great

She made it loud

There's a quiet version of that scene

Ι wanted to portray desperation

There was a little rage too

Why? Why are you going there?

What are you thinking?

Makes sense...that's how you saw it

That's good...very good

That was good

As expected

Next what is the situation in which Tsutsui will say "wait"

You're about to ask a boy to be your boyfriend

but he's about to ask you out first so tell him "wait"

ah that's a good one....so good

that's not fair

not fair?

I wish I had gotten a cute scene

[ This is the scene she wanted ]

But this could be difficult

This is a realistic one

This one needs acting ability

eh~ this sounds hard

You ready?

hai

Then here goes

This is a good scene

Here's your chance to score

Here goes

wait

KYAA~

nice one

mega nice....mega mega nice

That was so cute just now

ah good one

Was that ok?

You were great

ah thank goodness...what a relief

It had cuteness to it

A little panic too

You were like....ah! I have to say something

What just happened?

I was so nervous

replay

good one

ah we have the replay?

Why didn't you replay Yoda's scene then?

[ Forgot ]

wait

kawaii

I can totally see that scene in a summer setting

Makes you feel tingly all over

Fits Tsutsui perfectly

The last one in this category....what is Ikeda's "wait"

A person just asked you for directions

when you realize that he's a wanted criminal and say "wait"

ahh so that's how it is

Its one of those

Does this have anything to do with summer?

[ simply doubts the validity of it all ]

Summer is all about wanted criminals running around

[ Only happens in the summer ]

Before you make a complaint please say "wait" first

[ wait restrictions ]

Have you got it all planned out?

Are you ready?

ganbare

Here goes

wait

OHH~

good good

A very serious "wait"

That was good...so good

yes!

That was a very good one

wait

ah nice one

That seemed like the start of something big

You were great

I'm happy

The winner of this category scores 2 points? Who wins?

Tsutsui

Tsutsui's scene had cuteness

Coming up....its summer so let's go to the beach

Next

Ultra Specific Beach Scenes

specific?

What's that mean?

For this one we have an expensive set that costs 5 million yen

[ 5 million for that? ]

Coming up on the beach set next to the studio

they'll compete at acting out specific beach scenes for us

First what is the specific scene that Endo will act out?

You'll throw the memory filled broach your ex-boyfriend gave you into the ocean

eh? I can't do that

So you can say the lines if you want

its freestyle acting

So she can add whatever she wants?

yes of course

This is to forget all about your ex-boyfriend

This is good

Have you got it all planned out?

unh uh~

[ Still no plan ]

Well this is illegal dumping so don't go throwing things into the ocean

[ law abiding MC ]

In this case it can't be helped

You ready? Here goes

Now then Endo

ready

start

snap

hai....sayonara

hai CUT

[ A woman that doesn't make anything into a big deal ]

That....that was so non-chalant

That's not how it works

But that happens sometimes

like at the start of a drama or a movie

It can be casual

I'm not letting it bother me anymore

and I want a clean break so

sayonara

hai sayonara

I wanted a little more

A little more angst

replay

Why did you press it?

[ Now he presses it ]

Why is it still on?

Next its Ogawa's turn

Can she respond quickly?

You're eating shaved ice in a cute manner

and you'll act out having a brain freeze

What's the deal with this cute scene?

ah there's the shaved ice

And why aren't we using a prop for this....

[ special treatment? ]

You'll probably need to chow down on the ice

Indeed

I want to see how you eat it

ah this looks like a commercial

[ Shaved ice and summer romance ]

Here goes

You ready?

ready

start

kawaii

mm

mmm~

oishii

hai CUT

kawaii

Was that acting?

Cute though

yes it was

But was that acting?

[ Accused of simply eating ]

So were you acting?

Its acting

You're not just eating shaved ice

I didn't have an actual brain freeze

[ It was all acting ]

What is the ultra specific situation that Kaki will act out?

You're about to apply sunscreen when

you realize its actually sesame oil

Please don't do this to me

This one is totally different

[ Making her act like a clown ]

You can use the chair if you'd like

I'd like to see her make a dumb mistake

This is a bit much

That's what makes it such a cute scene

Well this becomes a total comedy scene

That's true

Have you got it all planned out?

I guess....hai

[ There's no escaping it ]

Shall we get started

ready

start

I better do the right thing and apply some sunscreen

otherwise I'll get sunburn

I'll put some on you

ah that's good

You don't want sunburn since everybody wants that pure white skin these days

right?

Isn't this stuff super slippery?

eh hold on a second

Its sort of aromatic though

hai CUT

Sort of aromatic though

Its sort of aromatic though

She never mentioned that it was sesame oil

[ Hinted at it with the aromatic ]

The moment you noticed the mistake was great

Is that so?

The last person in this category is Inoue

What is her ultra specific scene?

You walk by wondering who is buried in the sand

but once you take a closer look

its your father who you never met

What is this?

ah now I get it

That's quite a scene

sounds scary

now hold on a second

Well this is the beach

you're in a good mood and burying your friends in the sand

That happens at the beach

You ready?

hai

Let's have Inoue get started

ready

start

uwah! Its been so long since I've been to the beach

ah!

Father!?

hai CUT

That was sudden

That was quite sudden

arigatou gozaimasu

ah good one....good one

That was a good lead in that you did there

nice lead in

That's what we wanted

uwah! Its been so long since I've been to the beach

Father!?

ah that's good stuff

That's good

ah thank goodness

This was the ultra specific scene category

Who is the winner?

Kaki!

sesame oil

sesame oil

Are you sure?

Its true

eh...but I had already given up

[ Already accepted the loss ]

The 4 of them made it a good competition

Next

Summer Love Confession Category

So we've got love confessions too?

In this block

3 members were given a theme beforehand

and they created a script in which they'll confess their feelings

They'll act it out

the member that makes Bananaman feel the most warm and fuzzy will score a point

The theme is a summer festival fireworks show

First Kubo will confess her feelings

ready

start

Its my first fireworks show with the boy I've always liked

And yet

at some point I got separated from him

and the fireworks are nearing the finale

finale

There you are!

ah I've finally found you

well the fireworks are already over

Guess I'll go home

wah....that's really sad

This was fun

sorry

I was kidding

I knew it

I wanted to watch the fireworks with you

This takoyaki got cold

and I was lonely

and scared

I wanted to be with you

I like you

Next year

this hand

will you promise me you'll never let go of it?

I'm impressed she was able to do all this

hai CUT

uwah sugoi

That was all kinds of amazing

brilliant

yabai

Stop right there

Yumiki and Nakanishi look like

eh? She took it to that level?

[ Stunning quality ]

wait

She took this game seriously?

[ She did not hold back ]

no that was so good

I was so nervous

I was mega nervous

You wrote all of that?

I wrote the entire script

[ Wrote the script with 1 day of advanced notice ]

But why did your own script sound so depressing?

I always end up making it depressing

[ Likes stories of misfortune ]

Even though we couldn't see the fireworks together

in exchange promise me that we'll see it next year as a couple

That part was nice but

why did you have to get separated from him?

I'm lonely

and scared

That part was really good

I was searching for answers

But then you said you liked him

You put that in there

I said it like those words slipped out in the moment

What is up with you?

She always does this

Shall we just give her the 2 points now?

[ Winner? ]

[ Next week there is a major turnaround in the summer love confession scenes ]

[ Regulars will be determined? Quiz Cicada or Shrimp ]
