Fan Sorezore no Kami Kyokutachi

DAY TWO


MC1 (after Top25 performance)

Rena: One, two…
Everyone: SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 fan sorezore no kami kyokutachi!!
Rena: And so this is the second day! Now that everyone is fired up I’d like to say something about this Request Hour Set List Best 50.  It introduces SKE’s best 50 songs selected through everyone’s vote, announcing them counting down from n°50 to 1°.
Kumi: This time the songs subjected to the voting were 114 in total and between them…Ah, no, that’s not it (LOL). And…we received more than 138000 votes!! Thank you so much for always supporting us!!
Everyone: Thank you!
Akane: As SKE48, this year we have the pleasure to perform our first independent Request Hour. Last year we had a Best 30, but now we’re having a Best 50 with 20 more songs! Thank you! Anyway we’re announcing the songs through a two day performance. Today’s the second day and we’ll perform the songs from position n°25 to n°1.
Manatsu: And as for today’s first song, at position n°25 there was Matsui Rena and Matsui Jurina’s unit song, Kinect’s Two Roses!! So, Rena-san, what kind of memories do you have about this song?
Rena: Memories…It’s not that I’ve performed it so many times but…everytime I have to do it I’m really too nervous!! I want to disappear.
Manatsu: Don’t disappear!
Rena: But really! At the beginning we’re back to back, right? So I don’t face the audience, but my legs can’t stop trembling!!
Kumi: I was watching you and I thought “Oh my god, Rena-chan’s face is so stiff!!”
Rena: It’s true. It’s just me and Jurina so we have to make the steps perfectly, that’s why I get more nervous than usual. But it’s a song that we both really wanted to perform so I was very happy it was ranked. Thank you very much.
Rena: So…everyone, has your favourite song already been ranked?
Akane: “Not yet”.
Rena: Right, there’s a lot of “not yet”.
Rena: This is a concert brought up together with everyone, so one more time, including everyone’s desire to see their favourite song ranked, I’d like to say again the title with you all! Is it all right? Thank you. So, we’ll say “SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 fan sorezore no…” and then please, everyone, shout out “Kami kyokutachi”. Let’s go. One, two…
Everyone: SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 fan sorezore no…
Audience: Kami kyokutachi!!!
Everyone: Thank you so much.
Akane: Now I’d like to go back to the ranking! Here’s the announcement of position n° 24! Enjoy!


MC2 (after Top24 performance)


Jurina: So, on position n°24 we had Tokimeki no Ashiato! Thank you very much. SKE48 members are divided into Akagumi and Shirogumi and Tokimeki no Ashiato is a Shirogumi song. Everyone in the audience who’s for Shirogumi!!!! Hey, only me!?
Everyone: Aka! Aka! Aka! Aka!
Jurina: No, no, wait! I kind of feel left alone but anyway, it doesn’t matter! It’s okay! It’s about palpitations’ footprints, right? (Tokimeki  no Ashiato) So I’d like to hear from everyone of you something that made your heart flutter lately. Then…who had a heart fluttering moment?
Everyone: I had!
Jurina: Then, first…Ogi-chan!
Shiori: Yeah. The other day I wasn’t feeling well and then Jurina came, bringing me a Hot Lemon saying “Ogi-chan, are you all right?”. Her expression was…her expression was sooo cute!! Why don’t you do it now?
Jurina: Then I’ll do it to Ogi-chan! Ogi-chan, are you all right? Here, a Hot Lemon!
Shiori: As expected from Jurina! In this world people who wouldn’t fall in love after seeing this don’t exist!
Jurina: Thisi is embarassing so let’s go on! Is there anybody else who had a heart fluttering moment? Oh, you’re next. (to Hara)
Minami: During yesterday’s Request Hour, at n°39 there was Team E’s Kagami no naka no Jeanne d’Arc. I was watching from the back and…Yamada Erika performing Kagami no Naka no Jeanne d’Arc was just toooooooooo cool!
Madoka: What about me!? I performed too!!
Minami: Madoka was cool too but Erika was incredibly cool. She made my heart flutter.
Jurina: What about Ume-chan?
Madoka: Recently I often meet eyes with Rumi-san. Everytime I notice her incredibly round eyes staring at me, my heart pounds.
Jurina: Do you think that just her eyes are round?
Rumi: Please don’t say anything strange!!
Madoka: Round eyes on a round face!
Rumi: Hey, hey!! Stop it, It hurts. As for me, the other day I was walking and suddenly I was surrounded by a group of kindergarden kids. They made me feel popular, I guess.
Shiori: I bet they thought you were one of them!
Minami: Yeah, a fellow feeling!
Rumi: Anyway my heart did flutter!
Shiori: ‘cause little kids are cute, right?
Rumi: Yeah, they’re cute!
Jurina: But…everyone, don’t you get excited  when you’re on the stage and your eyes meet the audience?
Everyone: Yeah!
Jurina: So I’d like to sing today hoping that something like that happens and as SKE48 we want to do our best to perform songs that’ll make everyone hearts flutter! Are your hearts fluttering? (to the audience) Thank you very much. Well then…I wonder what song will be ranked next! Here’s the announcement of position n°23!

Jurina: And it was also placed pretty high!
*Muchaburi Panel appears*
Jurina: W-what’s this!?
Mizuki: Eh? Muchaburi?
Muchaburi: The ultimate cute moe phrase. Face the camera and say “I love you”.
Jurina: Me?
Mizuki: I feel confident so I’ll go first.
Mizuki: *in a super lol way* I love you.
Jurina: What should I do?
Mizuki: I did the Ahiruguchi! (Duck-mouth…the one Jurina ALWAYS does - and I find ridiculous lol) You should do it to!
Jurina (and her Ahiruguchi): I love you.
Mizuki: That was strange…
Jurina: Just stop this! I’m not good with things like this! Really, I don’t want to!
*Take two*
Jurina: I like you. No, that’s not true…I love you!
Mizuki: Oh, she did it seriously! I’ll do a serious scene too.
Mizuki: Wait!! That hurts!! I love you!!
Jurina: That hurts!

Riho: So we had the Request Hour this year…How was it?
Rina: What leaved the strongest impression was our Team KII song being in second place!
Riho: Yeah, Omatase Setlist!! (lalala spoilering XD) That was terrific!!
Rina: You’re right, we all cried.
Riho: We did!! Seira-san, did you cry?
Seira: No, I didn’t.
Riho: But I saw you! You were crying. What left the strongest impression in you?
Seira: Let’s see…Uhm, yeah, it was Nice to meet you!
Riho and Seira: Yeah, we did a unit together!
Riho: Oh, something appeared!
Riho, Rina, Muchaburi: Do the imitation of the member beside you.
Riho: Let her be in the centre.
Seira: Well then, I’ll do Matsurina’s imitation.
Riho: 3,2,1
Seira: “Seira-san, aren’t your legs swollen? I’ll massage it for you!”
Rina: It’s not as erotic as this!!!!!
Seira: She does it, doesn’t she!? Didn’t my imitation look like her?
Riho: It did!!
Seira: So, she’s like this.
Rina: What should I do? Riho-chan? Riho-chan…the way she speaks? Ah, I got it! I’ll go. “I mean, you know, Riho’s really popular!!” (ahahah I love how she says this)
Riho: I don’t say things like that!! Really, I don’t say things like that!!!
Seira: “Hand-shake event now, hand-shake event now.” (imitating Riho)
Riho: I don’t speak like that!!
Rina: She’s like a nowadays high school girl or something.
Riho: Well, I’m the last one, I’ll do Seira’s imitation! Okay, call it (to Seira)
Seira: What?
Riho: Your imitation.
Seira: Until Seira’s imitation…3,2,1…
*Riho does sexy pose, Rina adds air boobs XD*
Seira: CUT!
Riho: A gravure Idol!
PRECIOUS REFERENCE


Seira: Okay, CUT!
Riho: So, we did it pretty well!
Riho, Rina & Seira: And now, SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011’s going to continue!!


MC3 (after Top19 performance)


Shiori: You’ve been able to see 5 performances in a raw, from position n°23 to n°19. How was it, everyone?
Everyone: Thank you very much.
Akari: Aozora Kataomoi, that was on second place last year, went down considerably and I’m really surprised about that!
Miki: Now it’s really impossible to predict what’s going to happen, right? At this point I’m really curious about the songs that are going to be ranked from now on.
Anna: It’s also because we’ve just started! Let’s look forward to what’s going to happen from now on. At the position n° 21 was ranked Team KII’s Kodoku na Ballerina and…to speak about ballet…
Anna and Sawako: Thank you very much.
Anna: If we have to speak about ballet in SKE48, we should mention Suda-san, right?
Akari: Yeah! Thank you. What?
Sawako: What’s with this outfit?
Akari: The outfit? Well…Sawako did Kodoku no Ballerina and I thought I couldn’t lose to her so I brought my own!!
Anna: That’s great.
Sawako: So you’ve put all your spirit in it.
Akari: Exactly! I bought the most gaudy outfit I have.
Anna: It really gives the feeling of having been used!
Akari: Yes, I wore it habitually. I think Sawako’s ballerina’s highlights are the elegant “Grand pad de chat” (I had to search for this, I know nothing about ballet XD) and the “Penché”! (Of course I had to search for this too XD) Everyone should  notice those steps, really!
Shiori: You’re right, I agree with you!!
Anna: Kin-chan, do you understand what she’s talking about?
Shiori: Yeah, of course!
Miki: So, since right now we have both Sawako and Akari, why don’t we let them show us some of their ballet skills? Is it okay?
Akari: I’ll do it! Please, hold my mic.
Shiori: It’s great!
Everyone: It was beautiful.
Akari: Thank you very much.
Miki: Kin-chan, why don’t you try too?
Shiori: Eh? Really?
Anna: Yes.
Shiori: Well, a lot of things happened during the Saitama’s tournament, so…
Anna: Really? Then Kin-chan, would you dance together with Sawako and Suda-chan? Would it be okay?
Everyone: It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay.
Anna: Do your best!
*Kin-chan…dances*
Anna: So…is this a dance?
Shiori: Yeah.
Anna: How is this called?
Shiori: It’s called the Ostrich Dance.
Sawako: This doesn’t feel right.
Miki: Kin-chan is really a mistery.
Shiori: But it turned out well, didn’t it?
Anna: I’ve been thinking about something for a while…Why are you wearing this outfit? Aren’t you from Team E?
Shiori: Eh? Why?
Anna: Are you from KII?
Sawako: But it’s somehow a more simple version (the outfit)
Anna: You’re right!
Akari, Sawako, Miki, Anna:  You’re an imposter!!!
Shiori: Oh, I’ve been exposed!
Anna: You’ve been since the beginning!!
Miki: It was really obvious. Anyway, this is the first time that SKE48, with Team KII, does something related to Ballet, so it’s really something one should notice. Are there any Ballet points in which we should pay attention?
Akari: If we talk about Ballet, it’s really important to be careful about oneself’s back.
Miki: Show it to everyone!
Akari: One should stand while thinking there are eyes on her\his back, so that once he\she turns, the back becomes like this. If you practise for a while muscles grows on your back like this. In Ballet, the dorsal muscles are really important, so…
Sawako: Kin-chan, why don’t you try to do it too?
Akari: Do it!
Sawako: Think about having eyes on your back!
Miki: It looks pretty different, doesn’t it? What do you think after doing it?
Shiori: It was good I think. Maybe I really have a talent for this!!
Miki: Are you for real???
Anna: And now, Kin-chan, please introduce the next song!
Shiori: Yeah, let’s go with the next song. It’s time for the announcement of position n°18! Please enjoy!


Muchaburi 3 (after Top15 performance)
Nakanishi Yuuka (Team S), Katou Rumi (Team S)
, Ooya Masana (Team S)


Yuuka: Chimata de uwaza no danshikei joshi, Team S no Nakanishi Yuuka (The boyish girl rumored in the streets, Team S’ Nakanishi Yuuka)

Rumi: Run Run (Rumi Rumi) Maru Maru (Rumi Rumi) Itsudemo (Rumi Rumi). Choppiri dokuzetsu Mikan koto Katou Rumi desu. (Happy - Rumi Rumi - Round, Round - Rumi Rumi - Always - Rumi Rumi - . A little bit of a wicked tongue, I’m Mikan a.k.a Katou Rumi)

Masana: Sei, no…M-A-S-A-N-A, Masana!! Nagoya no Snoohowaito, Ooya Masana desu. (One, two…M-A-S-A-N-A, Masana!! I’m Nagoya’s Snow White, Ooya Masana!)

Yuuka: So, how was the Request Hour?
Masana: It was fun!!
Rumi: Yeah, it was fun!
Yuuka: If we talk about ourselves, we did together Hazumisaki, for example!
Rumi: I’m almost a regular in Hazumisaki!
Masana: Why’s that?
Yuuka: She’s scary! Let’s stop it here and now, okay?
Masana: I can’t!
Yuuka: Don’t do it again! It’ll be better!
Masana: I have to do it and let people know about it!
Muchaburi: Say a reverse compliment about another member.
Yuuka: Masana can move really fast, so when it comes to the food, even if there’s one thing for each member she grabs three just for herself!
Rumi: Also, she has the power to check her surroundings!
Yuuka: I got it! So she does it in order to don’t let others find out about what she’s done!
Masana: But now they’ve all just found out!!
Yuuka: Oh, it’s a secret, okay?
Rumi: Uhm, Nakanishi-san is really an innocent maiden!!
Masana: She’s sentimental!
Rumi: I don’t know how to put this.
Yuuka: It’s just that it feels like I’m a girl. My feminine power’s really high, right????
Rumi: No it’s not about your feminine power.
Masana. You’re feminine power’s definitely NOT high!
Rumi: You’re the one with the lowest feminine power! Maybe I’m the one with the most high one!
Yuuka: Well, there’s nothing to say about Rumi!
Rumi: Hey, wait!
Yuuka: Thank you very much!
Yuuka, Rumi & Masana: Now SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 is going to continue!!


Muchaburi 4 (after Top11 performance)
Furukawa Airi (Team KII), Hiramatsu Kanako (Team S)



Kanako: Mokyu Mokyu! Miwaku no sutoroberii boisu, KanaKana koto Hiramatsu Kanako desu. (Mokyu Mokyu! The charming strawberry voice, I’m KanaKana a.k.a Hiramatsu Kanako).

Airi: Sando no meshi yori anime ga dai suki. Anata no hiroin ni naritai na. Airin koto Furukawa Airi desu. (I love anime more than the day’s three meals. I’d like to become your heroine. I’m Airin a.k.a Furukawa Airi.)

Kanako: Yeah.
Airi: Uhm, how should I put this…There’s a strange atmosphere. We don’t usually get to talk like this together…
Kanako: We don’t, right?
Airi: I have that feeling. So…
Muchaburi, Airi and Kana: Express your thoughts on the Request Hour through the syllabes of the word Kataomoi form the new song Kataomoi Finally.
Kanako: Ah, it’s difficult!!
Airi: Are you serious?
Kanako: Our thoughts about the Request Hour!!
Airi: Our thoughts using Kataomoi’s syllabes!? What should we do? Uhm, I’ll start from the top! “KAwaii SKE ga…”
Kanako: “…TAda nantonaku…”
Airi: Eh!? “…Omoiomoi no…”
Kanako and Airi: KAwaii SKE ga TAda nantonaku Omoiomoii no…”…MOkyu mokyu wo…!”
Airi: What’s that!? I…I…Ippai…uhm, what was it?
Airi and Kanako: Ippai shimashita!!
*result*
KA - Kawaii SKE ga
TA - Tada nantonaku
O - Omoiomoi no
MO - Mokyu mokyu wo
I - Ippai shimashita
“Kawaii SKE ga, tada nantonaku, omoi omoi no mokyu mokyu wo ippai shimashita” (The cute SKE, somehow, did a lot of mokyu mokyu as much as they liked)
*/result*
Kanako: What do you think?
Airi and Kanako: Yeah, so now SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 is going to continue!!


MC4 (after Top8 performance)


Rena: This is so fun!!
Mieko: So, we went from 10th position to 8th! How was it, everyone?
Jurina: As we should’ve thought the three last songs were all Sigles!!
Rena: Maybe it’s true that the most effective way to know SKE is through the Singles.
Ami: You know, this was the very first time I had the pleasure to wear a Single’s outfit!
Jurina: 1,2,3,4 Yoroshiku, right?
Ami: Yes.
Jurina: It looks good on you!
Mieko: So, we’ve announced until the 8th position, and right now there’s 8 (four pairs) members  here who’s surname is the same!!
Jurina: Yeah, it’s like that.
Reika and Erika: We’re wYamada.
Mieko: Let’s go.
Mieko and Seira: We’re wSatou!
Rena and Jurina: One, two…We’re wMatsui!!
Ami and Emiri: One, two…We’re wKobayashi!
Mieko: So, we have members with the same surname here so…did something good and something bad happened related to having the same surname?
Jurina: Lately it’s not like that anymore but in the beginning we were often mistaken as sisters!!
Mieko: But that’s likely, right? When you first know someone they usually ask “Uh, are you sisters?” or something, right?
Jurina: Yeah. In our case there’s also the fact that we have the same “king” radical in Rena’s “Re” and in my “Ju”. So we’re often taken as sisters also because of that.
Mieko: What about Yamada Team? Do you get mistaken for sisters, too?
Erika: We don’t but our names, Erika and Reika, are very similar!
Mieko: Ah, so someone can confuse the two of you…
Reika: You know, Jurina-san and Rena-san have got their unit, Kinect, right? That’s why I’d really like to do a unit with Erika since we have the same surname too!
wKobayashi and wSatou: We want to do it too!
Mieko: Well, we should start from the older members, right? So, wSatou comes first! (to Seira) What should we do about our Unit’s name?
Seira: We’re Satou, right? So we should call it Zarame! (Satou also means sugar, Zarame is brown sugar)
Jurina: And like that it’ll feel like a general store!
Mieko: No, I don’t like it! Isn’t something like “Sugar” better!?
Rena: But sugar is already the origin…
Seira: See? Zarame’s got more impact!!
Rena: I’d like to say something that happened to me! We’re often mistaken as sisters so…I wondered if we could’ve been really relatives…I really thought about that…So…when I went to the gravesite…I searched for a Jurina’s family tomb… (Rena..XD XD XD)
Seira: Are you kidding!?
Meiko: Of course there wouldn’t have been any!!
Jurina: Absolutely not!!
Rena: Eh? Wait! wKobayashi, didn’t you do something like that too?
wKobayashi: Of course not!!
Mieko: You know…even if you thought you could’ve been relatives…searching for tombs is absurd!!!
Rena: But…I don’t even know Jurina’s Granpa’s name…
Jurina: This is really Hakarishirenai\Unfathomable! (Jurina’s pun with “Haka-Tomb”)
Rena: Oh, great!
Jurina: Now please, go on.
Mieko: Are we going to finish like this?
Reiko: So, now there is going to be the last part of the Top 10…How’s it, everyone? Are you fired up!? Now it’s time for the Lucky Seven, the first 7 positions! Enjoy! (this is after the Muchaburi but it was useless to add another MC part just for this XD)


Muchaburi 5 (after Top8 performance)
Satou Mieko (Team KII), Deguchi Aki (Team S)

Kanon: Non, Non, Non, Non, GanbaruNon! Kyaha! Chuugaku 2nensei, 14sai Team E no Kimoto Kanon desu! (Non, Non, Non, Non, I’ll do my bestNon! Kyaha! I’m Team E’s 2nd year middle school student, Kimoto Kanon, 14 years old)

Aki: So it’s started!!
Kanon: Yeah, it’s started!?
Mieko: What has?
*laugh and cut lol*
Kanon: The unit song I was able to perform, Tenshi no Shippo, was ranked in position 16th! That’s the thing impressed in my heart the most.
Aki: It was super cute!

Mieko: 30th something!
Aki: Ah, yeah, 30…
Kanon: Have you forgotten!?
Mieko: 6!!
Aki: Yeah, it was 36th!
Mieko: I’m sorry, maybe I’m wrong!
Aki: No, it was 36th!!
Mieko: Or maybe not!
Aki: Thank you very much.
Muchaburi: Do a one-shot gag conceived right now.
Aki: Well then…let’s go, Kanon! We should start from the left, you know!
Kanon: It’ll be really a one-shot.
*DOOOOOOON…*
Mieko: I don’t get it.
Aki: But she’s cute so it’s okay. My turn now!
*running away pose*
Aki: Hijouguchi! (Emergency Exit). An emergency exit only for Deguchi! (Aki’s surname, Deguchi, means Exit, so, you know, it should be funny XD…) Yeah, I’m passing through! Mieko, you’re the last!
Mieko: Well then, this is my ideal girl. “Enough already! You don’t understand a girl’s feelings at all!!” + sound effect  (lol and wait! Ideal girl? XD)
Aki: This is old. Are you tired or something?
Mieko: No, I’m not.
Aki: 25 years old.
Mieko: You didn’t have to say that.
Aki: This combination is great, somehow! How old are you? (to Kanon)
Kanon: 14 years old!
Mieko: I don’t think it’s necessary to ask about age!
Kanon: And now…
Mieko, Aki and Kanon: SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 is yet to come to an end!


MC4 (after Top4 performance)


Aki: So, the at 4th place there was Okey Dokey!

Akane: Thank you very much! Good evening, everyone!
Team KII: We’re Team KII!
Akane: Thank you. It’s all thanks to your support if Omatase Setlist has been ranked in the second position. Thank you so much!
Team KII: Thank you very much!
Akane: Omatase Setlist is a song that contains our feelings and a message we want to convey to you all. We’re really, really grateful. If we’re able to perform on this stage is only thanks to your support! Thank you very much.
Team KII: Thank you very much.
Audience: KII, KII, KII, KII, KII, KII, KII (etc…lol)
Akane: Thank you very much. Team KII is truly happy to receive so everyone’s love. Well then…please listen to Omatase Setlist.


MC6 (after Top2 performance)


Madoka: So, on position n°2 there was Team KII’s Omatase Setlist!
Akane: Thank you!
Rikako: So, well…
Audience: KII, KII, KII, KII, KII, KII, KII (etc…lol)
Akane: Thank you so much! To be honest, If it were for me I would like to hear it until tomorrow, this KII call! Thank you very much!
Rikako: So, on October Team KII’s Stage, Ramune no Nomikata, has started. For us SKE48 it really was an important event of this 2011. I think that this song, Omatase Setlist, contains the feelings of KII’s members and fans too. And it was ranked 2nd! Captain, Churi, what do you think about this?
Akane: Well…To be blessed with everyone’s warmth is such an happy feeling for us. It’s true that our feelings are all stuffed into this song. We did our best while dreaming about having our original stage. One of our dreams was also that of being able to sing one of our original songs in the Request Hour. But our real target was being able to stand on our stage and convey all our feelings of gratitude to you all!
Right now we’ve achieved one of our objectives but Team KII is not going to stop!! We’ll do our best in order to let even more people  love Team KII and recognize it, so, if there will be another chance, we’ll be aiming to the first position!! Thank you very much!
Rikako: And so… You know, I was watching your performance and you were really shining! Everyone, are Team KII’s feelings, power and love reaching you?
That’s great! Congratulations!
Akane: Thank you!


Muchaburi 6 (after Top2 performance)
Saitou Makiko (Kenkyuusei), Ono Hasuka (Team S)
, Takada Shiori (Team S)


Makiko: Oosaka kara kita dangan musume. Omoshirokunai wa homekotoba, koukou 2nen no Kenkyuusei no Saitou Makiko desu! (I’m the bullet girl from Oosaka. To say that I’m not funny is a compliment. I’m the Kenkyuusei Saitou Makiko, a 2 year high school student.)

Haruka: Anata ga hoshii no wa…Kin no Ono? Gin no Ono? Soretomo…Haruka Ono? Ooitaken shusshin, SKE48 Team S no Ono Haruka desu. (What is that you want? A gold axe? A silver axe? Or…Haruka Ono? Born in the Ooitaken, I’m SKE48 Team S’ Ono Haruka!) - It’s a pun because Axe is spelled Ono as Haruka’s surname - non the same Kanji, just the spelling.

Shiori: Minasan no seien to minasan no egao de watashi no kokoro wa…Sei, no…-AtTakada - Shiitan koto Takada Shiori desu. (With everyone’s smiles and everyone’s support my heart is…One, two… - Warm! - I’m Shiitan a.k.a Takada Shiori) - Pun in here too. Attakada consists of Attakai (warm) + Takada (her surname)

Shiori: So, the Request Hour!! A song in which we all performed, Shoujo wa Manatsu, was ranked during the second day!!
Haruka: It’s Shoujo wa Manatsu ni nani wo suru? You omitted a lot! So yeah, it was ranked during the second day.
Makiko: That’s great, right?
Shiori: I was so happy!
Makiko: Me too.
Haruka: We performed it after a long time, so our tension was very high!
Muchaburi, Makiko, Shiori and Haruka: If you think about Nagoya, Ebifry (fried shrimps) comes to mind. Try to imitate how an Ebifry looks like when it’s rising.
Haruka: What’s this!? How an Ebifry looks like!? What should that mean!?
Shiori: Uhm, what should we do? Well, let’s just do it together after a 3,2,1 count.
Haruka: When it’s rising…Okay!
Makiko, Haruka, Shiori: 3, 2, 1…
Shiori: Like this, right? We’re doing it right!
Makiko: This is weird!!
Haruka: So  now…
Makiko, Haruka and Shiori: SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 is going to continue!


 (before Top1 performance)


Rikako: Thank you. So…we kept you waiting, but now there’s only one song left. The song that shines in the first position of this SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 Fan Sorezore no Kami Kyokutachi is this one…!

MC7 (after Top1 performance)


Rikako: So, for two years in a raw, the song shining in the first place is Kareha no Station!
Rena: Thank you.
Rikako: There’s a trophy for Matsui Rena who sang Kareha no Station.
Rena: Ah, that surprised me! Thank you so much!
TrophyCarrier: Congratulations.
Rena: Thank you! Everyone, I really want to thank you for all of these votes, I’m very happy!
Rikako: Rena, how are you feeling right now? Were you nervous?
Rena: Yeah, I was nervous, afterall. But…being able to get the first position two years in a raw, even now that there are a lot of new songs, I think is really a great thing. Nevertheless, this time I had the chance to clearly understand all over again that, for every single song, everyone puts all their feelings into their votes. That’s why I’m taking this very seriously. But, you know…Unlike last year, this time there were not only so much fans in front of me, but also the members behind me so, somehow, I was able to feel relieved. Last year I was just so, so much nervous but this year that changed. Also, during this year, I came to love every fan and every member ever more than before and I felt that there are a lot of wonderful songs between SKE48 ones. Everyone, thank you so much!
Rikako: Everyone, let’s end this giving a great applause to Matsui Rena-chan!! (Ohi, Rikako…at first she was Matsui Rena, then Rena and now Matsui Rena-chan!? lol)
So, for the songs announced yesterday and today we’ve received a total of 138065 votes. To everyone who voted the songs we’re really, really grateful!
Everyone: Thank you very much!
Rikako: Now we’ve completed the performance of the 50 songs. For us SKE48 this was the first concert after a long time and it’s been a concert put together with everyone who kindly voted for our songs.
I feel like our feelings have been able to become one with those of everyone of you who came to this huge hall and of course also with those of everyone who couldn’t come but is always supporting us. We are truly happy. From now on too, as SKE48, we want to do our best in order to let our songs stay into your hearts.
And for the next year…I think we’d like to do a four-days Best 100, just like AKB48’s Request Hour! So please, keep on supporting us from now on!
And so, this is the end of  SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 - Fan Sorezore no Kami Kyokutachi. Everyone, thank you so much!
Rena: Thank you so much.
*lots of “thank you”->Okey Dokey->Lots of “Thank you” XD*


DAY TWO - End


Jurina: So, everyone, how was it?
Yuuka: We were all super cute!
Jurina: Oh, thank you! So, it was SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 - Fan Sorezore no Kami Kyokutachi. What was your Kami song? Ohhh.
Mizuki: Really? Thank you!!
Jurina: I think it’ll be great if new kami songs will be born in 2012, don’t you agree?
Everyone: Yeah!
Mizuki: That, that!!
Jurina: That? What was it? Ah, I remembered! On January the 25th our new single, Kataomoi Finally will be released. I’d be happy if you’ll listen to it and maybe that song is going to become a kami song! So, from now on, we’ll continue doing our best so please…
Everyone: Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!!



Request Hour Request Hour - Day Two SKE48
SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 - Fan Sorezore no Kami-Kyokutachi (MC Report) - First Day

Again, I promised to a cute Anon so here I am with a quick (I don’t know if it’ll be quick. Actually……..It definitely won’t be quick, sorry.) report of SKE Request Hour 2011’s MCs and such.
Beside the MCs during the performance, since I watched the version of the concert broadcasted by Family Gekijou (ファミリー劇場) I’ll do my best to translate the Muchaburi parts too!
Ah, then again, I HAD to write the full title, you’ll understand why. X°D
Anyway, since I think that a formal report would be kinda boring, I’d like to do this in a “dialogical way”. Enjoy, this is the first day, of course I’ll do also the second part. (feel free to send me msgs if you find misspellings - that’s very likely lol - and I’ll correct as soon as I can *w*)

Kumi: That’s right! This time there was a total of 114 songs and we’ve surprisingly received more than 138000 votes! Everyone, thank you for everything!
Akane: Yes! Last year we had our first Request Hour but it was a Top 30. This year, with 20 more songs, we’re having a Best 50! Also, last time it was a One-Day performance, while this year the ranking announcement will last two days! Thank you. Today we’re going to announce from position 50 to 26. Thank you.
This year, on October the 1st Team KII started its first original performance, so, as Team KII, we’re aiming to a high place in the ranking this time!
Kanon: You know, this year for the first time, the members of the 4th generation are able to perform in the Request Hour. And moreover today’s live began with Team E’s Pajama Drive so now my tension’s really high!!
Jurina: That’s great!
Rena: You’re right!
Jurina: So, we’re looking forward too, to see how Team S, Team KII and Team E’s songs are placed! Also, everyone please enjoy until the end today and tomorrow’s performance to check if the songs you think are Kami Kyoku are listed in the ranking! Onegai shimasu!
Everyone: Onegai shimaaaaaaaaaasu.
Rena: It’s not just that, because “SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 - Fan Sorezore no Kami Kyokutachi” is a concert based on fan’s voting, that’s why I’d like to do the Title Call with everyone! Will you do it with us? Ok, so…are you ready?
One, two…
Everyone: SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 - Fan Sorezore no……………………..
Audience: KAMIKYOKUTACHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

MUCHABURI 1 (after Top48 performance) + MEMBER CATCHPHRASES
Nakamura Yuuka (Team E graduated), Matsui Rena (Team S), Shibata Aya (Team E)



Yuuka:
Kira! Kira! Kira! Kagayaku egao wa ittou sei, chuugaku ninen sei, 14sai Team E no Nakamura Yuuka desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu. (Shine! Shine! Shine! My smile shines like a first class star. I’m Team E’s Nakamura Yuuka, I’m in second year of middle school and I have 14 years old.)

Rena:
12ji made mahou wa tokenai, garasu no kutsu wa nugimasen. SKE no kasumisou, Matsui Rena desu.  (The spell won’t be removed until midnight and I won’t take off my glass shoes! I’m SKE’s Kasumisou - it’s a flower, known as Baby’s breath in English -, Matsui Rena.)

Aya: Itsudatte anata no ichiban ni naritai na. 18sai no Shibata Aya desu. (I’ll always want to become your number one. I’m Shibata Aya, 18 years old.)

Rena: So, we did the Request Hour, how do you two think it was?
Yuuka and Aya: Ah…for the first time…!!
Rena: But you did a Unit song, didn’t you?
Aya: Yes, we sang on the second day. It was really fun!
Rena: So it was fun.
Aya: We were also able to watch other members dancing from the back.
Rena: Like you could see only the back!
Aya: No, no, no, no!
Yuuka: It was fun!
Rena: So…Ah! The prompter is!! It’s Nazokake (it’s a game) time!
Rena (and the Request panel): You put SKE and ****. Their spirit is ****. (In this game, one should put two unrelated things in the first two spots, and then say something that they have in common in the “kokoro” part. It should be funny XD)
Rena: Do you have any ideas? Uhm, what can we do?
Aya: SKE to kakemashite, ookina hankagai to tokimasu. Sono kororo wa “dochira mo sakaetemasu”. (You put SKE and a big business district. What’s the spirit? They’re both prosperous!) <- I liked this because it’s a word play with SKE being acronym of SAKAE.
Aya: Oh, I did it!
Rena and Yuuka: (Just a lot of “I don’t know” and “what!?” and “what should I do?”)
Rena (to Aya): Say something random!
Aya: Shibata Aya to tokimasu.
Rena: SKE to kakemashite, Shibata Aya to toku! Sono kokoro wa… (You put SKE and Shibata Aya. The spirit is……..) FAIL XD
Rena: SKE to kakemashite, Eiou Drink to tokeru (then corrects with toku XD) ! Sono kokoro wa? Dochira mo genki ni naru deshou? (You put SKE and Eiou Drink. What’s the spirit? Boh of them give you energy, right?)
Yuuka: I really don’t know! SKE to kakemashite…
Rena, to Yuuka: SKE to kakemashite, Orionza to toku. (You put SKE and and Orion…)
Aya: Sono kokoro wa? (What’s the spirit?)
Yuuka: The spirit is…
Rena: This one’s really hard!
Yuuka: Dochira mo Ittou Sei deshou? (Both of them is a First Class Star!) <- LOL she used her catch phrase as a reference!
Rena: Great! Great! Wasn’t it?
Yuuka: Uhm, Orion is…-Ah! Jurina-san!- (Jurina makes her appearence!)…is made by a lot of stars and so SKE is made by a lot of members shining like Orion so I chose first class star!
Rena: Okay, Okay.
Jurina: SKE to kakemashite, kodomo no asobiba to tokimasu! (You put SKE and a children playgroung!)
Yuuka, Rena and Aya: Sono kokoro wa? (What’s the spirit?)
Jurina: Dochira mo kouen ga ichiban! (For both of them Kouen is the most important thing!) <- This is another word play. For SKE, Kouen is 公演 (public performance), while, as for the playground, Kouen is 公園 (public park). I don’t always like Jurina’s jokes but this was pretty good XD
Rena: I don’t know what to say about Jurina’s appearance timing!
Rena: Now, for the continuation of SKE Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011, there’s still much more to come!
Yuuka and Aya: Bye Bye


MC2



Everyone: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeei!
Rikako: So, now that every Team’s leader is here, we’d like to talk about the memories of this 2011 regarding each Team. First of all…Churi!
Akane: As I already said, this year started Team KII’s first original public performance, Ramune no Nomikata.

PRECIOUS REFERENCE


Akane:
Raise your hand if you came to see Ramune no Nomikata!  (lots of hands raised) Really!? REALLY?
Rikako: That’s awesome!
Akane: I don’t know if it was possible for all these people but anyway, please, everyone, come to shee (she actually mispronounces XD) us!!
Rikako: And Team E! Ume-chan!
Madoka: Yes! Team E was created this year so we did a lot fo things that were new to us. It’s also our first time to perform in the Request Hour, so our goal for this year is to do a good (ii  - E) start. Today our Pajama Drive was the first song so…I think we really did a good start. What do you think? Thank you. I want Team E to show the results of one year of work!
Rikako: Positive, positive!
Akane: It’s time for Team S’…
Rikako: Team S members are becoming more and more close to each other, our love deepened a lot, to the point we’re now like a family! So in 2011 we’re not afraid of anything and we’ll aim to be an invincible Team!
But you know…this year, Team S, KII and E, and also the research students…we should all join our strenght and do our best together!
Akane: You’re right! It would be great to be able to do a National Tour with all the Teams!
Rikako: Now I think it’d be better to go back to the ranking! Here’s the announcement of 47th place!


MC3
(after Top46 performance)


Yuuka:
So, the 46th position was Tsuyoki Mono Yo!!
Mizuki:
Ehy, wait a minute! So our first single is already out!!
Yuuka:
Speaking of which, in the “Behind the scenes” of the first single, there was a showdown between AKB and SKE! And me, Mizuki and…Jurina, you too?
Jurina:
Yeah, me too!
Yuuka:
…we had our faces covered with stockings!

PRECIOUS REFERENCE



Yuuka:
It was in that moment that Mizuki’s Idol life kinda ended, right?
Haruka:
Well, from the beginning there never was an Idol life for her!
Mizuki:
I’m the one who’s walking straight the path of the Idol more than anyone else!
Yuuka:
At that time you died as an Idol.
Mizuki:
Hey, nobody told me something like this that time!
Everyone:
That’s true, we didn’t.
Mizuki:
You’re annoying!
Yuuka:
Is there anything else to say?
Kana:
Tsuyoki Mono yo’s outfits were somehow Goth Lolita style uniforms, but just for Miichan, half of her butt was totally exposed!
Jurina:
Your skirt was too short, wasn’t it?
Mizuki: That’s because Kumi was being an idiot and wore my skirt for the performance, so I was left with Kumi’s extra small skirt! Somehow, it didn’t seem like a skirt anymore…
Yuuka: Jurina, do you have something to say?
Jurina: At that time, I was in elementary 6th grade!
Yuuka: You were still an elementary schooler!? It was summer, so weren’t you already a middle schooler?
Jurina: Nope, elementary 6th grade!
Kana: Oh, she’s grown up, right?
Mizuki: This is kinda dangerous for us!
Yuuka: Mieko is already 25 years old so…she’ll be 30 soon!
Jurina: Stop! Don’t say it!
Yuuka: Mii, what about you?
Mizuki: We were in a kind of dance senbatsu together (referring to Jurina), so we danced a lot but, everytime our eyes would meet, there was a competition feeling going on. But she was still a kid at that time so I just had to give her sweets to have her smile happy.
Jurina: Aren’t I cute?
Mizuki: When I give her sweets she’s like “Thank you”. (She does an amazing Jurina’ mane lol)
Kana: So…
Everyone: She’s blurry!! (On screen Mizuki)
Jurina: Hey, stop doing my imitation!
Mizuki: This is Jurina.
Kana: So, what song will be ranked next? Here’s the announcement of the 45th position! Enjoy!


MUCHABURI 2 (after Top45 Performance) + MEMBERS CATCHPHRASES
Hirata Rikako (Team S ), Akaeda Ririna (Team KII), Kaneko Shiori (Team E)



Rikako: Team S, pinchi wa chansu! Rika chansu! Hirata Rikako! (Team S, difficulties are chances, I’m Rika chance, Hirata Rikako.)

Ririna:  Hajikeru haato de mina san wo meromero ni shichaimasu. Riri koto, Akaeda Ririna desu. (I’ll make everyone fall for me with my open heart. I’m Riri, a.k.a. Akaeda Ririna.)

Shiori: Sei-no! Hapi happi! To iu wake de kyou mo takusan no hapi smairu wo otodoke shimasu. Saitama umare no 16sai Kaneko Shiori desu. (One, two…Happy happy! So today too I’ll give you a lot of happy smiles! I’m Kaneko Shiori, born in Saitama, 16 years old).

Rikako: So, how was the Set List?
Ririna: I was very, very happy that Omatase Set List, from Team KII’s original performance, Ramune no Nomikata, got the second place!!
Rikako: It was a moment full of tears, but Riri’s goose during the MC was interesting. Why don’t you do it right now?
Ririna: Eh? Now?
Rikako: Then Kin-chan (Shiori) too! Let’s do it facing everyone!
Ririna: One, two…
Rikako: Yeah, this leaved a strong impression!
Ririna: Oh, thank you.
Rikako: Kin-chan, what about you?
Shiori: It was the first time for Team E to perform in the Request Hour, but all our Unit Songs were ranked and it was also fun to watch everyone else’s performances!
Rikako (and the Muchaburi screened): What would you do if you were to win 100.000.000 yen lottery prize?
Rikako:  I’d be sure to save them all! I should think about when I’ll be 60 years old and won’t be working anymore!
Ririna: But won’t it be  a pain to use them when you’re already an old woman!?
Rikako: Uhm, maybe?
Ririna: That’s why you should use them while you can!
Shiori: I’d build 5 houses or something with 100.000.000 yen!
Ririna: Five!?
Rikako: But can you buy 5 houses with that amount of money? Oh, I don’t know how expensive is a house!
Ririna: I don’t know too!
Ririna: I’d build a Cake shop!
Rikako: Why? While you’re still in SKE, or in the future?
Ririna: For the future, but I’d manage the shop while being a SKE member!
Rikako: But why?
Ririna: I’d employ a pastry chef too!
Rikako: No, you shouldn’t! I’m sure you’ll eat everything!
Ririna: That’s why I’m a bit insecure about that, but I want to build it.
Rikako: So, there’s still so much more to this SKE Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011! Please enjoy!

Sawako: So, after this…
Everyone: SKE Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 is yet to come to an end!


MC4
(after Top41 performance)


Everyone: Yaiiiiiii!
Rena:
That was Team KII’s Ramune no Nomikata at position n°41!! So, “Ramune no Nomikata” is not only the name of their performance but also the title of a song. I’m sure a lot of people have seen this now for the very first time, am I right? The show started and went on with one song after another but the time passed and they didn’t have the chance to sing Ramune no Nomikata. But then, while everyone’s feelings were rushing like “Ah, when are they going to sing it?”, the Encore part came, at the very end of the show, they wonderfully sang Ramune no Nomikata, expressing deeply and without any rush the lyric’s meaning. I…
Kumi: This is way too long!!! (So Rena has deep feelings towards Team KII, eh? *w*)
Rena:
Really? Oh, I wanted to keep talking about it, though…
I really love this song.
Kumi: I’m sorry, but your speech was too long!
Rena: Ah, is that so? Well, that’s how much I love it. What about you? Did you go to see the Ramune no Nomikata performance? How was it?
Yukiko: Wow, I was really moved, almost to the point of crying. It was really very good.
Rumi: I watched it like this all the time! And then I told Manatsu she was the one who stood out the most!
Rena: But there are really lots of good songs, still not announced in the ranking! Jesus for example! Oh, and what about Omatase Set List? Also the one Airin sings! What was the title??
Kumi: Manazashi Sayonara.
Rena: Yeah, that’s it, that’s it! Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!!!
Rena: Aki-chan, what’s your opinion about Team KII’s show?
Aki: I’ve still never seen Ramune no Nomikata show, but I watched the performance just now and my eyes went all teary. Yeah, my tear glands became kinda loose.
Rena: Well, it’s true that it kind of resounds in one’s heart.
Aki: Yeah, the lyrics are!
Rena: Right! Team KII’s members, still not being able to have their own show,  did their best, through trials and mistakes, so now watching them performing in their own original show it’s somehow…
Kumi: It’s great, isn’t it.
Rena: I think I envy those feelings a little!
Rumi: Also, the shape of the theatre changes!
Rena: Oh, it’s true. But I don’t know about it, what happens!?
Kumi: Yeah, uhm…from the middle of the stage appears a thing called Debuso(!?)
Everyone: Eh? What the hell is that?
Kumi: Am I wrong?
Rena: What’s that? Something like the passage through audience to the stage?
Kumi: That’s right, something like that!
Yuria: They also do handshakes with fans!
Rena: It’s great to have handshakes inside the theater! Is there anyone here who did a handshake?
Everyone: Ohhh, great! There are lots!
Rena: Let’s shake hands!
Rumi: They’re choosen heroes!
Everyone: Eh? Heroes? Why?
Rena: So, everyone, do you think there will be other Team KII’s songs from Ramune no Nomikata ranked? Now this is a good cheering, but of course Team S is not going to lose!
Yuria: Yeah, I agree that Team S is not going to lose, but why don’t we let Team KII study how to drink Ramune? Forever, for their whole life!! I think this would be for the best!
Yukiko: Yuria, that’s not good!
Kumi: I’m sorry. You know, her brains don’t work very well so…
Yuria: No, no, no, no, Kuu-chan is definitely not one to tell me such a thing!
Rumi: Please don’t do idiocy comparisons!
Rena: Team S is still full of willingness, so please, everyone, look forward to what’s going to come after!
Kumi: Please! Now…what song will be ranked next? Here’s position n°40!!

MUCHABURI 4 (after Top40 Performance) + MEMBERS CATCHPHRASES
Ogiso Shiori (Team KII ), Kizaki Yuria (Team S)


Shiori: SKE48 Team KII, mitame wa kodomo, nakami wa otona. Kou mietemo 19sai no Shiorin koto Ogiso Shiori (With the looks of a kid but an adult inside. Even if I look like this I’m 19 years old, SKE48 Team KII’s Shiorin a.k.a Ogiso Shiori)

Shiori: So…Ah, last year it was a Best 30 Request Hour but this year we had 20 more songs and it became a Best 50!
Yuria: Yeah, that’s right!
Shiori: We had the pleasure to perform a lot of songs voted by everyone, how was it? (to Yuria)
Yuria: How was it?
Shori: For me…Well, I was really happy to see how even songs of the still not announced Selection 8 were ranked, like “Hanabi wa Owaranai and “Utau yo, Bokutachi no Kouka”. I felt how everyone is always listening carefully!
Yuria: That’s right!
Shiori: Also…I thought that nobody knew the songs from Ramune no Nomikata show and yet one of those got the second place!!
Yuria: That was really a deep emotional moment!
Shiori: What about you, Yuria?
Yuria: I got to perform the unit song I do with Yagami-san, and it was ranked higher than last year! I was really happy about that and I think this Request Hour expressed greatly everyone’s feelings.
Shiori: Yeah
Yuria: Oh, something appeared.
Shiori and Muchaburi Panel: Please prepresent the appearance of your yesterday’s dinner as if you were a Gourmet Reporter.
Yuria: As if you were a Gourmet Reporter?
Shiori: Staff members have to be really funny to come up with something like this in this situation.
Yuria: To do it like a Gourmet Reporter means…
Shiori: Well, as if we were promoting it, maybe…So, shall we start?
Yuria: Let’s go.
Shiori: I’ll go first?
Yuria: Oh, are you really going to be first?
Shiori: Yeah.
Yuria: Show us, then.
Shiori: I’ll just say what I ate, first of all.
Shiori: Itadakimasu! Ah, this is my house. Oh, it permeates into your tired body. This is the king of beef stew!!
Shiori: So, I ate beef stew!!
Yuria: Now it’s my turn! But hey, so you had beef stew?
Shiori: Yeah.
Yuria: Really!?
Shiori: Really!
Yuria: Even if it was the Eve?
Shiori: BECAUSE it was the Eve! Doesn’t Eve give a Beef Stew feeling?
Yuria: Is that so?
Shiori: It’s okay, just go, time is passing by!
Yuria: Yeah, you’re right!
Yuria: I’m with my family of  four people.
Shiori: Can I play your brother’s role?
Yuria: Ah, yeah, so you’re my brother.
Shiori: Ok!
Yuria: No, no, you shouldn’t eat yet! First of all, let’s open it.
Shiori: Open? Ok.
Yuria: Isn’t this for 3 people? Ah, no, this isn’t right. Oh, so this is a meal for three people, right?
Shiori: Right.
Yuria: It has to be this during the Eve, right?  Let’s eat.
Shiori: Yeah.
Yuria: Ah, what a wonderful chicken this is! Please eat.
Shiori: Yuria, this is delicious.
Yuria: Oh, it’s cold, we should warm it up. Let’s warm it up.
Shiori: You’re right! What the hell are you doing?
Yuria: Here! Ah, now it’s steamy hot! What a wonderful chicken!
Shiori: Wait! So you’ve put cold chicken on the table!?
Yuria: Yeah.
Shiori: You’re hopeless.
Yuria: So…
Shiori: Yeah, it became a mess but still, keep watching…
Shiori and Yuria: …there’s still much more to see in this SKE Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011.

Miki: Amazing!
Rena: Yeah, but this has nothing to do with Kasusu, right? Anyway, we did the Request Hour, what do you think about it?
Miki: Let’s see. I’m from Team KII and our Omatase Set List was…
Rena: It was on second place!!
Miki: Second!!! I was sooooo happy and we were all excited and crying! I’m not crying right now, though!
Rena: I saw the excited Miki on the monitor all the time!
Miki: Yeah, it seems like I appeared on the monitor…I thought about what crazy face I had in back then!
Rena: That was a good face.
Miki: Really?
Rena: Yeah, that was a good face! So…

MC5 (after Top34 Performance)


Everyone: Yaiiiiiiii!
Akari: In position n°34 was Kizashi by Team KII! So, ‘till now we’ve listenet do 7 songs in a row. Was your favourite song between the ones performed?
Makiko: Oh, Shirogumi’s Cosmos no Kioku was ranked in 38th position! Yai! Thank you very much!
Mai: The one I like is Dareka no Sei ni wa Shinai. I really like it so I was very happy!
Anna: Yeah, that song is great!
Akari: Both Shirogumi and Akagumi were ranked, right? Another song ranked was Anata to Christmas Eve, in 36th position which it’s also very appropriate for the upcoming period! Why don’t we all say how would our ideal Christmas be? In a delusional kind of way.
Makiko: Delusional?
Akari: Yeah.
Makiko: Isn’t this going to be sad?
Mai: But everyone likes things like this. Let’s do it!
Akari: I’m sure it’s everyone’s speciality!
Rina: If it’s about delusions I have lots!! On Christmas, I’d like to become Santa! I have a reason for this! I’d have an exclusive Santa public office and from there I’d be flying to a lot of places. I’d hand over the presents and go back home.
Anna: I like playing pranks so on Christmas, after 10 minutes since Santa has handed over the present, I’d go, steal it and go back home!
Makiko: You’re a bad person!
Mai: That’s awful! The children will cry! As for me, I’d like to spend Christmas with the person most important for me. It’s all delusional, ok? I’d like us to walk together inside the town, and then that person snaps fingers and an “IMADE” sign would be lighting up on a building!!
Anna: Imade!?
Makiko: Wait a sec! Not “Mai” but “Imade”!?
Mai: Yeah!
Makiko: Why’s that!?
Mai: It would be something done only for me!!
Makiko: Is this a real story?
Mai: Just a delusion!
Makiko: I’d like to do a Christmas Party! My ideal would be a Christmas Party with SKE members. We’re all really close so I’d like to do things like this, and things like that.
Mai: I want details. What should “things like this and things like that” mean?
Makiko: Things like that? For example exchanging presents…
Mai: And what about “Things like this”?
Makiko: Uhm, things like throwing sweets.
Mai: Is throwing sweets amusing?
Makiko: Maybe it’s not…What about Akarin?
Akari: I’d dress up, with a big ribbon on my head and meet up with the person most important to me. Then I’d say “Your present is…A-TA.. *they stop her, she was going to say “atashi”, me*
Everyone: Yeah, yeah thank you!
Akari: Let me say it!!
Anna: But we all got what you wanted to say!
Akari: I wanted to say it until the end!
Makiko: Uhm, we’ve all talked like this but, somehow, isn’t this futile?
Akari: Well, throwing sweets with members would be!
Makiko: Ohi, what do you mean?
Akari: So, let’s put ourselves together and, Anna-san, please, do your usual thing…
Anna: I’m going, everyone! Is it okay if we now announce position n°33?
Everyone + Audience:  It’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok!!
Anna: Here’s position n°33. Enjoy!

Manatsu: So if you have thoughts about SKE Request Hour Set List Best 50…
Tomoka: Well…every single Unit song from Team S, KII and E was ranked, right? That’s great, and it means that fans are supporting so much even with our unit songs!
Manatsu: I really think it’s wonderful.
Akari: Before entering SKE48 I used to practise Balet and it’s really impressed in my heart the moment, during an MC between one song and another, when I danced on the stage with my own dress. I’d like to do it again.
Manatsu: That’s great. I was really moved, your shape was splendid. I think it was very good!
Akari: Thank you so much!
Manatsu and Muchaburi panel: An “I’m sorry” story that you can tell only now.
Akari: Apologies? Even if it’s telled only now it’s still an apology so it’s bad!
Manatsu: you’re right.
Tomoka: I usually don’t do bad thing but…Yesterday, it was me who ate first the mandarins left in the lesson room without permission. I’m very sorry.
Manatsu: Well, it was a box full of mandarin so you thought it was okay.
Tomoka: Yeah, “Well, I guess it’s ok” I thought.
Akari and Manatsu: I see!
Manatsu: I…uhm, apologies, right? I don’t know, you tell first! (to Akari)
Akari: Well, in the lesson room there’s a refrigerator that every member uses, right? I thought it would definitely be someone’s but I ate it, the pudding! But it’s fault of the one who didn’t wrote her name on!
Manatsu: I don’t know but if the owner of the pudding discovers that it’s not there anymore and asks “Who ate it!?” what will happen?
Akari: It’s too late now, I ate it.
Manatsu: I…Yesterday night when my mom told me to tide up things I just wanted to put the blanket in order.
Tomoka: You’re so cute!
Manatsu: So, SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 is going to continue! Enjoy!
Akari: Bye Bye!

Yukiko:
This time I had the pleasure to perform the unit songs “Omoide Ijou” and “Ame no Pianist”
Kumi:
In what position where they?
Yuria:
Uhm…what was it?
Kumi: You should remember!!
Yuria:
Ame no Pianist was…uhm…in what position was it!? I forgot!
Kumi:
Oh, something appeared.
Kumi and Muchaburi:
Say your objective for 2011 like a 17 (5-7-5) syllabes haiku poem!
Yukiko: Ah, this is really impossible! Really!
Kumi: I’m bad at making sentences!!
Yukiko: It’s really impossible for me to do a 5-7-5!
Kumi: Are you saying this because you’re an half?
Yukiko: Yeah, I’m an half so I’m not so good with japanese.
Kumi: Here comes this pattern!! You always say things like this and run away!! Even if you’re incredibly fluent in japanese!!
Yukiko: There’s a lot of static electricity! Your hair are going crazy!
Kumi: Yeah…Well, let’s go with 5-7-5.
Yukiko: Our objective for 2011…in 5-7-5 syllabes…
Kumi: Okay! I did it! Here’s mine!
Kumi: Ko-to-shi-wa-ne   be-n-kyo-u-cha-n-to   shi-ma-su-ka-ra (This year I’ll study properly) This should be ok!
Yukiko: Is this your 2011 objective? Now that you said it you have to really do it, okay? Do you understand?
Kumi: Of course, now I’m on third year of high school!!
Yukiko: Eh? Wait a moment!
Kumi: You should do Muchaburis quickly, afterall *being a lovely idiot*

Yukiko: Its meaning is a little nonsense…
Kumi: Expressing sex appeal and dance skills…
Yukiko: Well, that’s it! It’s ok.
Kumi: Now, SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011…
Yukiko: …has got a lot more to offer! Bye Bye!
Kumi: Watch it!


MC6


Jurina: At position n°27 there was Team KII’s Ai no Kazu!!
Akane: Thank you very much.
Rena: This song is the first original one received by Team KII, right?
Akane: That’s right. As Team KII we had to perform this original song as the coupling track of Banzai Venus single but it’s also being used as a rooters’ song for Nagoya’s Chuunichi Dragons (a baseball team). Chuunichi Dragons won, so now Team KII is going to give its best!
Jurina: So, I was thinking…A lot of Team KII songs were ranked, so you had to do your best, how was it?
Manatsu: You’re right…This concert also includes our original songs from Ramune no Nomikata, so seeing how many Team KII’s songs were ranked really made me happy. Thank you so much!
Akane: Thank you.
Rena: That’s great! I feel envious…
Jurina: As for Team E, this was your first Request Hour, how was it for you two?
Kanon: It was wonderful that just in this first day three Team E’s unit songs were ranked!! I was so happy!
Madoka: Since it’s our first time, I looked forward to it, but this is better than I expected. Everyone is supporting us, and even watching other members performing, perceiving their feelings was really amusing.
Jurina: As for us Team S, there’s lots of song not yet ranked…
Rena: You’re right! That’s kinda sad, we’re not performing at all…
Jurina: Yeah, but…the possibility that tomorrow we’ll have to perform is high!
Rena: True, tomorrow…maybe even our “Party ga hajimaru yo” will be ranked!
Jurina: Even if it will…well, me and Rena will be probably okay but…as for Nakanishi-san and Haachan…
Rena: Is this about age? Maybe it’ll be no good!
Jurina: They’re cute so I guess it’s okay!
Rena: I agree. There are still a lot of other unit songs not yet ranket, right? Even the Singles! We can look forward to it!!
Rena: So, for the first part of SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 Fan Sorezore no Kami kyokutachi, we have just one more song to go!
Manatsu: What kind of song will end this first day? Today’s final song, at position n° 26 is…this!!


MC7


Jurina: Today’s last song, at position n°26 was Team KII’s Nice to meet you!
So, this is a unit song performed by Team KII’s adult members! I really think it’s a wonderful song. And with this announcement SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 Fan sorezore no kami kyokutachi comes to an end!! We’re sorry! There’s still tomorrow! Tomorrow we’ll announce the ranked songs from position n°25 to the first place! Please everyone, together with us let’s look forward to the songs that will be ranked in the first ten positions!
So…SKE48 Request Hour Set List Best 50 2011 Fan sorezore no kami kyokutachi ends right now! Thank you very much!!
Everyone: Thank you very much!
