This is the very first review in this blog. This time, I'm going to review AKBINGO! episode 219 and 220. It's pretty recent.
Episode 219 aired on Jan, 2nd 2012 while the 220th episode was aired a week after.
These are special episode in a new year. At first, Takamina, Kojiharu and followed by other members saying Happy New Year to the viewer. They're having small conversation before the show begins.
Yuko: "This year, please support AKB groups and AKBINGO! as well."
Takamina: "In 2013, what do you want to do, Paruru?"
Paruru: "I want to eat so many delicious food."
Takamina: "That's good. Then SKE's Ueno-chan?"
Ueno: "I want to live peacefully."
Takamina: "How about Milky?"
Milky: "I want full of fun things!" (She said 楽しみるきー. Combining 楽しみ/fun and みるきー/ミルキー/her nickname: Milky into a word.)
Takamina: "How about HKT's Murashige?"
Murashige: "Right! I want to make a super-interesting gag."
Then Murashige's doing a gag. It's a making kanji using her own body like big 大, dog犬, and thick太. But it doesn't seem very interesting for everyone in the studio.
Sashihara: "My apologize. I'll bring her back to Hakata." Then everyone broke in laughter.
Then the title call start.
It's a new year episode. And the theme for this episode is 'Lucky Girl Ranking 2013'. It has been 5 years AKBINGO! doing 'Lucky Girl Ranking'. And of course, it's Shimada Shuhei-san The Entertainment Palmist.
Here, he read 169 palms of AKB, SKE, NMB and HKT members. All of them.
Shimada-san: "Just for this show, I have to read more than 100 palms. Frankly speaking, I didn't want to do it!"
Yuko: "It's a good thing this time JKT48 is not coming. What if they come?"
And Shimada-san's reaction upon Yuko's statement was like this
Before they're starting to revealing the ranking, they're flashbacking to last year top 3 and the most unlucky girl in the 2012.
Last year, Takamina took the 1st place. And in the whole 2012, she got some nice things. Including become AKB group's General Manager and Solo Debut.
Starting from here, for you guys who hasn't watching these two episode yet and don't want some spoilers, I warn you now.
