The Future Of AKBingo/Shukan AKB On Youtube

I come back from my holidays, looking forward to catching up on episodes of AKBingo and Shukan AKB I’d missed only to find out that they’ve not been uploaded. The uploader of AKBingo had been putting the episodes up on Youtube from the very beginning so to find out that all his episodes have been deleted really pissed me off.  What the hell happened I wonder? Did somebody report the person to Youtube that it was copyrighted material? So I’m now watching the episodes on Veoh so if anybody wants me to carry on putting the link to each episode on Veoh I’ll do that.

AKBingo – 090708

Links for last night’s edition of AKBingo now up. I’m afraid I haven’t got the time to do a proper summary so I’ll just do a very quick one. This week’s episode is set during a cultural festival at a high school. Several members disguise themselves in order to get into the school without the pupils finding out about them. Yuko Oshima’s cover is nearly blown when Sae crashes her trolley into a building as Yuko is hiding inside a box! 3 male pupils are led into the library and get surprised by Acchan. One of them confesses to being a big fan of hers. There’s a mini concert from AKB48 for the school pupils before a preview of next week’s episode which is another Summer fashion extravaganza.

AKBingo 090701

Here’s the links to this week’s episode.

With some AKB48 members heading to the Paris Expo, it makes sense that there’s a French theme to this week’s episode. Joining the Bad Boys and Mariko Shinoda as hosts to this French segment is a woman called Jennifer whom I take is a French citizen.

Erepyon, Tomochin, Kojima and Kumi Yagami get chosen to have a French lesson set in a fake restaurant and served by a French waiter.  3 sentences are read out and they have to pick which one they think will give them something to eat or drink.

Up first is Kumi Yagami and she gets these sentences:

Jutez de l’eau sur mon visage
Please throw water on my face
Apportez moi de l’eau degoutante s’il vous plait
Bring me the dirty water please
Porrais-je avoir un verre d’eau s’il vous plait
Can I have a glass of water please?

She picks the first sentence and the young waiter comes out with a glass of water and promptly throws the water on her face. The look on Yagami’s face is priceless, she just didn’t expect it at all!!

It’s Kojima’s turn next to pick the right sentence and these are the choices she gets:

Veuillez me tapee avec le menu s’il vous plait
Hit me with the menu please
Regardez mon menu recommande d’imitation s’il vous plait
Watch my menu recomend imation/impression please
Donnez moi le plat du jour s’il vous plait
Give me the plate of the day please

Kojima goes for the second and speaks French quite decently. Finally we have Erepyon who I’ve got to say is really bad at French but she’s cute so I’ll forgive her for that! The sentence she’s faced with are:

Je voudrais manger un plat a base de canard fume
I want to eat a plate of smoked duck
Je vourdrais manger une belle grenouille qu’on a attrape
I want to eat a beautiful frog that was caught
Je voudrais manger beaucoup de plat a base d’insecte
I want to eat a plate with alot of insects

She goes for the second and a plate full of food comes out. The four are all tucking away nicely until they are told it’s frog they’re eating. I found it funny their reactions whilst they’re spitting the food from out of their mouths.

With the main segment over, it’s time for the Top 10 thingy that’s been on the show recently. It’s getting a bit dull this segment now so I hope the producers of AKBingo take note of that. Anyway, the highlights are Yuko Oshima gets to pull some more faces, Jurina barks like a dog (which isn’t funny at all!), Meetan stuffs a lot of Pringles into her mouth and Miho trash talks Mariko which I thought was great.

Another performance of Namida Surprise and a mention of the senbatsu election before a preview of next week’s show.

AKBingo – 090624

The latest AKBingo episode is now on Youtube. Links below:

Summary: Right at the start they briefly mention the elections for the next single. Today it’s a fashion Summer catwalk extravaganza judged by a camp fashion expert Koji Uematsu who has a reputation for dissing celebs if they have bad taste in fashion. The rest of the idol group is watching from the sidelines.

The first 4 to go on the catwalk will be dressed for a beach date with a sempai. First up is Tomomi Itano who looks gorgeous in a one piece blue dress with a hat. The judge praises her style. Next up is Minami Minegishi who’s in a white top with brown shorts. Her looks meets with universal disapproval from the judge and Miichan does not look happy. The third is Rena from SKE48 who looks so cute in a short navy skirt with marine style belt, white t-shirt and a jacket. Nothing but praise for Rena’s style. Last but not least is Takamina who is so funny. She really works it on the catwalk. She’s in a short white skirt, brown shoes, a pink bow on her head and a hoodie with pictures of bananas all over it. Miichan thinks she’ll get the “ugly vote” but she’s wrong. The judge says she’s semi-fashionable but says her outfit makes her look stupid! Out of the four it’s Itano he likes the most.

The next 4 will be dressed to go on a restaurant date with a rich guy. Mariko goes up first and looks really good in black loose shorts, a striped t-shirt and grey hoodie. The judge mentions she looks better than Takamina did in her banana hoodie! The second girl to wow the judge is Kojiharu and boy does she look totally amazing. A pinkish short skirt, white top with pink bag and shoes. Very sexy look and my favorite so far. The judge loves her look. Third is the beautiful Yuko Oshima who I thought looked wonderful in her blue jacket, flowered short dress with white shoes but the judge sees different and hates it. He doesn’t like the jacket or her dress. What the hell does this idiot know about women’s fashion anyway!! There was nothing wrong with how she looked. The Bad Boys tease Nonti about her size as she and Yuko go shopping together. Finally we have Sayaka who is lovely in a casual look with jeans, white top and sky blue shoes. It looks good on her but the Bad Boys and the judge does not like it whatsoever. He was beginning to become very irritating to me at this point. Useless judge! It was rather obvious that Kojiharu would win this contest. And that’s it for the main segment

There’s a performance of Namida Surprise before a preview of next week’s episode which is based on some of the members going to France to the expo in Paris. I think it’s like a role play situation in a French restaurant. Erepyon gets drenched in water by a French twat! How dare he do that to her!

This episode wasn’t as funny as last week’s but Takamina, Miichan, Yuko and Sayaka made it worth watching.
