Not quite
Been hard?
The hard parts are like...I'm still nervous being together with the senpais

The 10 second videos the members took of each other
6 of them have been nominated
Bakarhythm will use his own personal judgement to decide a winner
My judging will be completely impartial
I'm going to be mega picky when it comes to kawaii
Nogizaka46 Kawaii Grand Prix
First we have
A Shiraishi Mai selection
[ Out of control idol ]
Today
I'm on location shooting for [Waratte Koraete!]
Right now I'm eating lunch and there's more shooting in the afternoon
YAAY!
Today's temperature is 33C
its hot~
bye bye~
Even under intense heat she showed off for the Buzz Rhythm camera
Matsumura Sayuri is highly motivated when it comes to fan service
Starting here its the 10 seconds selected by Shiraishi Mai
Out of control idol
kawaii?
bye bye~
hey~ so Machu~
My bangs have grown out a little
bye bye~
You could call it a classic
she's selected an idol pose
The next nominated video is right here
Endo Sakura selects
[ Enter the Goddess ]
Having joined the group in November...Endo's view of Shiraishi is...
She's so beautiful
I think she's really interesting
Its someone she admires
ahhh..the nervousness
To get the kawaii video she's looking for she's doing a sneak attack
Shiraishi-san
yah-ho
otsukaresama desu
otsukare
otsukaresama desu
uwah...beautiful
What do I do now?
ehh..so like during rehearsal
I always watch you
arigatou gozaimasu
beautiful
Starting now is Endo's 10 second video selection
[Enter the goddess]
kawaii~
hai...is it over?
what's next?
next is...ehhh
Even as a woman she's getting special feelings
Endo has selected these upturned eyes for her video
The next nominated video is right here
The office staff has this selection...[sexy rice]
Actually while all of this was happening
Ikuta was absent because of her musical
the office staff requested she take her own video of herself
Staff: The video from her was cute
Because of that her video got a special nomination
Today I'll be in a matinee and a soiree showing of the musical
since I'm doing both the daytime and nighttime shows
I'd like to introduce some of the goods I can't live without in these situations
Right here
DE-DEN
Rice cooker~
When I go on the road I'll always take this with me
eating white rice gives me a boost of energy
I'll make some
Here I'll set the timer to 1 hour
and then once the show is over it'll be cooked and ready
[ After the afternoon show completes ]
eh the matinee is finished and I'm back~
my rice
its all cooked
yes~
its well cooked~
itadakimasu
And then starting right here
its the 10 second selection from the office staff
[ Sexy rice ]
oishii~
I've been energized
Its a rare sight
they've selected Ikuta giving a food review while in a bathrobe
First it was the classic one...[Out of control idol]
Matsumura-san what are your thoughts on seeing yourself like that?
ehhh
hey~ so then Machu~
so since that video....my bangs have grown ever more
They've really grown so much
So thats what we saw then?
From Shiraishi-san's viewpoint that's cute then
Its cute...since she always loves the camera
Even if there's a documentary she'll personally stop by
and talk about all kinds of things...watching her is incredibly cute
And then Endo-san's video of Shiraishi-san
looking from a fan viewpoint
hai
What do you like about her then?
really...her face
face..starts with the face
Its so pretty~
Shiraishi-san what do you think?
its amazing...the 4th members are so cute so
they've become like little sisters to us
And another 4th member...Tsutsui-san
hai
This is something you've wanted to ask a senpai
hai...Saito Asuka-san
her private life is kind of a mystery
Don't see any of it?
Yes and that's why
I'm wondering what she's doing at home on her days off?
That kind of stuff
you can't ask her about that back in the dressing room then?
You haven't been able to ask her then
You haven't had a chance like this
So what is it that you do?
If I'm at home
I'll spend a long time in the washroom
You like to hang out lazily in the bathroom then
There's a chair in the washroom
ehhh
Its like you can do anything you want in there
Because there's a sink
its convenient to eat right next to the sink
And right there you've got tissues directly available
Once I'm done eating I can brush my teeth
Just in the washroom area alone I could live a complete life
There's her answer...what do you think?
That perfectly fits what I was imagining
Just what you thought?
You knew it had to involve her sitting around in the bathroom
You pictured her hanging out around a sink
That's the sort of image I put out then
And then Ikuta-san
hai
We saw you in a bathrobe
but is that something typical for musical performers?
For musicals everbody is wearing bathrobes
ah is that so
How about this one?
The hoodie...does everyone else do that too?
So that's
because I wear a wig for the show I usually wear a hairnet
So that's what you're hiding
I was worried about the office telling me you can't show images of that so...
I covered up
Usually I'm in a bathrobe and a hairnet
hai
Nogizaka46 Kawaii Grand Prix
Before going into part two
Shiraishi had this suggestion
I'm kind of seeking revenge for something that happened before
Its something that hurt me
Actually
last time we talked about her impressive dramatic expressions on [Synchronicity]
and she even battled Bakarhythm at doing the dramatic stare
She did not get the win and got crushed
Since then whenever I perform [Synchronicity]
I think of Bakarhythym's face
So I've become a distraction during a performance?
But in a good way
Like I've got to get my face set
But this time I'm feeling confident
Want another round?
And now its revenge for the dramatic stare battle
Are you ready then Bakarhythm-san?
yes I'm ready
Shiraishi-san are you ready?
yes I'm ready
now then
onegaishimasu
please hold on a second
Hold on now
He used a different face this time
Its different
[ Last time and this time ]
I'm trying to go along with the song lyrics
Could we try that again?
So that type of look then...going with that style
now then
onegaishimasu
Its completely round looking
That was a blank stare kind of look
My theme for that dramatic stare was [reunion]
You came back?
I'll try harder next time
Nogizaka46 Kawaii Grand Prix Part 2
Next its...
Shinuchi Mai selects
[ Can't believe this happened during a food review... ]
The oldest at 27...Shinuchi
hai
She's invading an all girls party
and then
Looks like someone's brought food
Its fruit sandwiches
[ Popular food item to give out...fruit sandwiches ]
Someone brought in fruit sandwiches
now the food review comments will begin
Delicious!
Kitano Hinako will now give her food review
Now starting right here is Shinuchi's 10 second video selection
[ Can't believe this happened during a food review ]
Now you've done it
Kitano-san you've really done it this time
She selected Kitano failing a food review and blushing from it
Well this girl is rambunctious so
rambunctious? I haven't heard that phrase in a long time
I figured she'd do something for me
and she perfectly showed her true colors
You rarely get that perfect timing
I thought that was cute
The next nominated video is right here
Saito Asuka selects
[ Wall Kyun ]
On this day its [High School Quiz]
on the day of the finals
In the breaks between recordings
they had many interviews to do as part of their hard schedule
18 year old current high school student Kubo
showed us this odd behavior
And that's shown here in Saito Asuka's 10 second video selection
[ Wall Kyun ]
I'm talking to this wall
I feel better now
Kubo clings to the wall
and her moment of healing has been selected
The next nominated video is right here
Takayama Kazumi selects
[ Sticky fingers-chan ]
hai
She's got a reputation for having high variety skills
where Takayama is heading to is...
They're already kind of showing up on camera
[ Going to see Shiraishi and Saito ]
She's going to see Shiraishi and Saito on their break
and then
ah! You startled me!
Happy Birthday to you~
Happy Birthday dear Shiraishi-san~
Turning 27 they're here to surprise Shiraishi with a birthday celebration
ahh arigatou
It says 27!
What do I do?!
[ Age displayed ]
itadakimasu
How is it?
oishii~
And then Saito...
AUGH!
augh~
AHHH!
3...2...1
still edible
And then starting here
Takayama's 10 second video selection
[ Sticky fingers-chan ]
AH!
What's wrong?
You've gotten all sticky
ahh she's such a little kid~
Her fingers messy from the cake
she's selected the childlike Saito Asuka
Kubo-san's habit of clinging to a wall
Saito-san you think that's very cute then
That's right
I also used to have a habit of clinging on to walls
That probably comes from
I don't really like it when I'm standing and have to support all my body weight by myself
You use the wall for support
On your days off you want a wall to support you right?
But Kubo-sensei doesn't cling to walls because of that
In my case its not for support but because I want to have a talk
[ Wants to talk with walls ]
What do you talk about?
Today must have been tiring too
Talking about the wall right
Do the walls ever reply back?
ah well its just silence
I've never actually heard anything back though
Completely different wall usage then
way different
She's on a totally different level
And then Takayama-san
hai
The way she said "Get a shot of this" when her hands were sticky was really cute
Saito-san are you a messy type of person?
no no no no no I'm not messy..just a coincidence
By the way who here is the messiest? Quick to spill something
Wouldn't that be Iku-chan?
yabai...I've been called out
She often spills things
and then she'll ask wardrobe-san "Do you have any stain remover?"
You eat in your stage costume then?
I also get stains on my normal clothes
If you don't want to stain anything you should just wear the bathrobe all the time
From these 6 nominated videos
Bakarhythm will decide the grand prix winner
Using my own personal judgement
[ Kawaii GP ]
Before that its a special live performance of their new song
Its time to announce the winner of the Kawaii Grand Prix
Using my own personal judgement...ehh
Here's your winner
[ Ikuta Erika with "Sexy Rice" ]
Since she had to cover up her head
the hoodie became necessary
She wasn't doing that to get attention
that's why I thought that was a good one
After seeing all those it actually ended up being this one
