TV / Radio AKB48 Sayonara Mouri-san (2022/04/07 - 2023/03/23)

If she has any desire of becoming an idol, I hope some agencies will scout her after this! It'd be funny to me if she turned out to be a 17th Gen candidate

 

It's always great in the first episodes then it turns back into the same old shit. Same people, same ideas. I mean, we've had Kurochan's ass and the next episode seems to be more of the same. It's a national problem tho.

Well, you realize they were doing that on purpose like when Naaamin forgot the lyrics for a split of second. They wanted to see him getting it wrong.

As for the fake AKBs, to be honest they're good...

Spoiler

... theatre girls.

Do we have more previews than that split second scene of them playing curling? I don't think they played that very often in the past, so I'm fine with it. Also imho they actually tried a lot of new stuff during WRH era Bingo and it would be great if they keep it like that. Lots of great games were only introduced very late during the show's running, e.g. Bucchake Baseball or the Nihongo Nadeshiko Battle.

I really hope the Japanese fans aren't like the international ones and keep on wishing for the old stuff.

She actually is a former idol.

See!
Mouri-p still has some interesting games ideas.
The episode was funny.

 

except for maybe okabe. way back in anta roke season 1 rinrin remarked that if it's yuiyui something special will happen. ep12 summary talking about episode 5.

*best TMI: miumiu's a biter.

 

Next ep is still from the same recording session, so that's unlikely. They usually shot 4 eps per session in the past so I assume a new cast of members will appear in three weeks.

 

Episode 2 subs are released

This episode was really entertaining. I would love to see them try real curling as well

 

It's too bad Seichan wasn't there for this episode.

The 3rd episode is great too, It shows that Mouri-p's team isn't dryed out on ideas.
Just look how a fashion show without Uematsu san isn't boring to watch
Though I'd need some subs to understand better, I like the fans involvement, it made for a different yet still entertaining episode.
On the con side i think it was missing the profesionnals critcs

The 4 girls (and their fans) picked some really cute clothes (@Mana where are you ?). I'd just would have made a diferent ranking, it's a matter of taste.

Looking forward for the next, it looks mysterious.

This time they have a Fan Coordination Battle in which 4 fans need to choose dresses for their Oshis to help them win an appearance on the TGC runway. In addition the three least stylish members are being announced.

The winner can still change. Depending on how much the outfits sell in the coming month another member could be on the runway.

Were all the episodes so far filmed together? I remember from AKBINGO that they'd usually film 2 episodes at once, and then release them in an alternating pattern mostly, but for this it seems as if all 3 episodes have been filmed at once.

 

Didn't they usually record 4 episodes in one session? Though sometimes not all the members would take part in all segments. E.g. I am sure episodes 554 - 557 (Family Sports Festival and I Want To Connect With You) were recorded on the same day based on Mahopyon's particular hair style, but quite some members only participated in one of the two segments.



But it's getting clear e.g. from episodes 550-553 or 546-549 that they used the same cast often for four episodes (typically two episodes per segment).
