NOW....MANY of those answers can be found online with some searching, but there was a strict NO TALKING during the exam. Harder than you think. Try to see how many you can answer without cheating.
I got 8 of the answers correct without any cheating >_< The answers weren't announced, but I confirmed my answers with a number of fans afterwards. Hey, I'll take 8 Rui? how about you
HOLY I can only think of 3 answers without cheating.... in white No 9 : 14 No 20: Sebastian For no.1 , no way i can write all of them out in kanji eventhough i got all 4 lol : Katayama Haruka, Nakagawa Haruka, Kohara Haruka and Ishida Haruka
Btw, thank tatami for asking if we can do the essay in English XD I wrote mines in English too because I am too ashamed of my inability in Kanji XDDDD
I figured I should've. That'll probably end up on TV. Also, I got interviewed when I left the test. As for the essay part.......lol. I wrote it in Japanese I knew I wouldn't pass to the next round based on my answers to the questions, so I wrote something there that should get me to the next round. I mean.....that's why they have that. I can't think of another reason why they would collect people's AKB memories.
^ lol. i wrote all my answers in english and romaji. with the essay part in pure english ofcourse. i'll probably post a review tomorrow.
GOD PLEASE YOU MUST GET INTO THE NEXT ROUND It will be so epic I lol'd at the guy who asked if he could do it in chinese XD
Damn. Remembering exact dates and stuff. And that Fushidara na natsu question, is it asking for all of the lyrics or just a part? If it's all of them, wow xD.
I know I have 4 answers correctly (without cheating) on Q3, 4, 6, 9 Q10 - I didn't know there are 4 I only could think of 2 Q11 - I only know one Q15 - I think I got it right
i think at the chinese AKB48 fansite there , there would be someone posting along the line I lol'd at the guy who asked if he could do it in English too lol guess there's quite a few non-japanese that got to the test as well other than u 3 makistar : Q10 - I didn't even know there is 1 lol
....except that guy was riding along with my joke I'm used to being attacked by other fans so that's nothing new I dont know....maybe Chinese fans don't stand out as much as someone who is white from the US
Wow......tough questions indeed I only know 3, 8, 9, 18, 19, 20.... And Tatami...I REALLY hope you advance to next round...
^ btw, in sayaka's question on the marie antoinette thing, i remember the kanji 恋, which confused the hell out of me...
The one that is bothering me the most is Takamina's onigiri filling XD On my way out, I heard some fans complaining about some member's onigiri choking him
I'm glad I knew a few of them! 01 - It took me forever to figure out Ishida was included... 03 - There are three? Right? I can only remember two... 06 - Easiest question. Spoiler: Kashiwagi and Inoue, respectively. 08 - I'm interested. Spoiler: Yuko? But didn't she do Nageki no Figure AND a few of the other songs? 09 - Okay, new easiest question. Spoiler: 14 10 - Also interested. Spoiler: Sayaka, Kohara... does Nozofisu count? 12 - New easiest. Spoiler: Don't Disturb! 14 - Also interested. Spoiler: Hydrolics (sp?) didn't work, maybe?
