AKBINGO!

AKBINGO aired on 10-19-2011.

 

I bring to you a hilarious episode of AKBINGO! I watched last week. After a very long absence, Acchan made her glorious return to the show :D. This airing was jam-packed with some of my favorite members including  Tomochin, Miorin, Yukirin, Mayuyu, Yui, and Takamina. It’s always so fun to see how they interact on this crazy variety show.

The main segment of this episode was the infamous “Muchaburi Dodgeball”. This is pretty easy to follow, even for a person who does not know much Japanese. The girls split into two teams and play a friendly game of dodgeball. Whoever gets hit has to do some crazy shit. Yui participates for the first time in this activity, and she also became the first victim on this airing. They made her eat some very spicy curry dish. It was at this point that they looked back almost 3 years ago, when Acchan was put into a similar situation. Whatever she ate was so spicy she actually cried and ran backstage in visible pain while on air! So yeah, these games are no joke. Yui is apparently OK with spicy foods, and to everyone’s surprise the spoonful she ate did not even phase her one bit LOL. The result was the complete opposite of what was suppose to happen.

Takamina, thinking it’s not that bad, tries some herself. Yeah, she was speechless afterwards, because it was so hot for her LOL. One of the hosts then picked on Miorin and made her try some as well. At first, she didn’t react, but after a couple of seconds passed her reaction to the spiciness was so adorable XD. As the segment was about to end, Acchan suddenly wanted to try some, despite what happened to her 3 years ago. She put a spoonful to her lips thinking it was OK, but then immediately found it spicy; it didn’t even make it into her mouth LOL. In the ensuing hilarity, Tomochin tried to surreptitiously take a sip of water from the glasses on the table, but the camera caught her in the act. She didn’t even try the dish, she was just trying to exploit the situation and quench her thirst LOL.

Fast forward two victims to Tomochin. She was made to eat some disgusting bugs that were prepared as a delicacy. It looked absolutely revolting. This wasn’t the first time on the show something like this was featured either. Tomo chopsticked one into her mouth and found it “delicious” XD. Once again, the whole food gag accomplished the exact opposite of what it was suppose to. Tomochin got Acchan to try some too :D. Acchan, thinking “if Tomochin says it’s OK then it should be OK” , tried a little bite after almost backing out. Needless to say, she didn’t like it very much LOL. Her reaction was so cute ^^.

The last victim was Miorin. She got sprayed in the face with a whipped cream-like substance (sounds so wrong I know XD) after not being able to contain her laughter at the sight of a comedian’s gags. Oh Miorin…if only you hadn’t burst out laughing and held on for a bit longer XD.

At the end of the show, AKB performed their new song “Kaze wa Fuite Iru“. Acchan looks so fierce with her current hairstyle! Studio live ftw!

AKBINGO! always puts a smile on my face, and this episode is definitely one of the more memorable ones. It was really nice to see Acchan back, but now Yuko is gone! I really want to see all the top members together on one airing :D. It’d certainly be very entertaining!
