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

I really need a laugh and this show is bringing it every week. I'm so happy it exists.
Seeing the old uniforms was a trip back to memory lane.

 

So center chan Vs the rest: give a right answer and you'll get paid, but you'll have to pay for your mistakes.

I like how the challenges went up gradually in difficulty, somewhat like a video game.
The costume ranking isn't that hard for any AKB48 lover, but remembering the River outfits was especially tough. I myself wouldn't have been able to figure more than 1.
I only recognise Mariko's because of the hat. The girls had some good points in their atempts though.
Poor Remi, only 3 years old when River was released (The 1st AKB48 CD I bought btw), how could she have guess anything ?

IN the end, the show fully exposed Mahopyon's clumsyness, it was cute.

 

Nothing like a good ass.

 

From memory too, she was the only one with a white hat, you couldn't miss her on the CD jackets, at the top of the pyramid formation.
Sayaka had a silver hat.

 

In the end she was maybe even a little bit too clumsy. I would have liked to see some of the other members paying 1000Yen, but they never lost even once to her.

 

And there she is...

That's so true, the original AKBingo introduced me to Komi, Tanochan and Juri who became some of my favourite-ever members from the group. Sayonari Mouri-san has brought Remii to my attention and it's also pushed Mahopyon into my current top AKB favourites.

 

So true. I liked the curling game a lot. I also liked Bucchake Baseball from AKBingo as well. I guess the main thing that I am liking is the combination of a simple game but can have a bit of strategy and the "behind the scenes" info that can be shared. Both elements keeps me well interested in the segment.

 

This is a good show but... i dont know... i want more "tension" I think the guy with long hair can do something special!!!

 

I wholeheartedly agree. Because of AKBINGO, I got into AKB in the first place. It's where I discovered Akimoto Sayaka and Tano Yuka, but also Komi, Sato Kiara, Kururun/Sento-kun, and even a lot of the sister group members that used to make guest appearances. It made me appreciate Takamina as a person with very opposing traits (clumsy and emotional vs reliable and trustworthy). Members who appeared regularly on AKBINGO and were interesting were much more appealing to me than quiet members/members whom I didn't even know because they didn't appear.

Two examples of that are Acchan and Mayuyu. Acchan didn't appear much because she was too busy, and Mayuyu was quiet and not really a variety person. Now, I can appreciate both of them for what they added to the group, but I would never be able to consider either of them one of my oshis.

I found Ran-chan, my current oshi, through the bridging show that they had last year, so I really hope she's going to appear on Sayonara Mouri-san. She was funny and interesting, and I get that same kind of energy from her that I saw in Tano Yuka. I recently read Ran's interview in "Top Yell Neo 2020-2021", where she said that she was known as a member with an 'ijirare character' and after reading it up online, I realised that that is pretty much Tano Yuka as well. Loud, noisy, big laugh, big reactions, likes teasing and may come across as a bully if not careful with the right kind of people.

With the 17th Gen now as part of the group, I hope it won't take too long before they make appearances and we can get to know them as well. Out of the 19 members from Draft 3, only 5 of them ever appeared on AKBINGO (they joined in January 2018 and AKBINGO stopped in September 2019). Two of them (Ishiwata Sena and Saito Haruna) also only appeared in one single episode, and the other three are Yahagi Moeka (38 appearances), Mahopyon (28 appearances) and Tada Kyoka (20 appearances). I'd say it definitely paid off for Moeka and Mahopyon at least

Meanwhile the 16th Gen all appeared at least twice because there were 2 episodes that were dedicated to the 16th Gen. I hope they can do something like that again for this show, even if it's Maho vs the 17th Gen again

It's part 1 of the Best Luck Athletic Festival in which the members need to prove they're lucky enough by competing in a combination of athletic- and punishment games.

Really funny episode! I think the games were fun and Erii's reactions during the balloon popping game really made me laugh. I felt really bad for Gyoten Yurina though! Didn't even get to play the first game Nagi also made me laugh cause she didn't fall through the box.

 

A wise woman once said: "The [...] bleachers are a battlefield and if you don't pay attention it'll be over just like that."
I also feel sorry for Yurina, but once she was out it looked like she didn't say another word. But for example Hii-chan (who is guaranteed an invitation for the show anyways) still made wisecracks and annoying comments after being eliminated to get some additional screen time.
Hopefully Yurina can get some screen time next week, otherwise she needs to deliver in the final episode of that recording session to get more invitations in the future. Though her being already on the second recording session is maybe a sign that she doesn't need to work too hard to get another invitation.
