Nogizaka46: "AKB Show" from October 24th recap and screenshots

 Think this is the third time the group has 'hijacked' this show, did a post on their first appearance but the second time they were on it was never subbed. This followed the same formula as their first appearance, there was a skit, sang their new single, another skit, an interview segment and to end the show off a song by the Undergirls.
 Bit more enjoyable than the first time they appeared on the show but really not sure why, think they may have performed three songs the first time they were on it. I really do enjoy their songs as if I didn't wouldn't be doing so many posts on them but sometimes you can hear a song or songs too often which I think was the case in their first appearance.
 Will break this down for you by segments with the first one being a short skit with Mai and Misa, that pair does so many things together. Least they do for the group so I wonder if they're really good friends outside of group activities. Bit of a lame skit but it was still okay as Mai was trying to prove to Misa what a glutton she is, she basically said she could eat what about 40 people could. At least in the Autumn season she can because it brings out the cravings in her but especially when the next person treats!
 After their pics, that skit only lasted about two minutes, the group performed their 13th single "Ima, Hanashitai Dareka ga Iru" which came out four days after this show. It is true I've heard this song too much lately but at least the performance was a bit different as far as the choreography goes.




















 After that performance there was another skit, it was a return visit of these members as they also did a skit like this the first time they were on the show. Have to admit even though these repairmen are quite incompetent none of us would mind them appearing at our door to fix an appliance. Least that was the view of the man they visited as his TV wouldn't work, they were just so darn cute he could put up with their failings as it was he who eventually fixed his TV. The 'maids' in the segment were Asuka, Marika, Manatsu, Minami and Sayuri.





















 Have two more segments here which finished off the show which I'll explain briefly. On August 31st the group performed their final concert of their Summer tour at the Meiji Jingu Stadium, from AKB Miyu and Saho were on hand. The pair were backstage interviewing some of the members, they seemed to be fairly big Nogi fans and knew quite a bit about them. Do admit I don't know these members that well, it's one of the reasons I'm not as big of an AKB fan these days as both are quite young and to me too many members are, as a matter of fact Miyu had to leave the concert early because she was so young.
 After that the Undergirls had a chance to shine, really like how they always get a chance to perform as their B-sides are usually really enjoyable. The gals performed "Shitto no Kenri" which is the B-side to the group's current single, thought it was another solid job by the Undergirls.
