Right on time I say.
After the shocking news of Kumin leaving (Not even Acchan’s leave hit me this hard!) This episode could not have been released any better time than now to relieve me of all this depression.
Thanks to it I actually slept much better than I thought I would last night.
It was so good that it makes you wonder why they never do it more often. And to make things all that much not fun there will not be a second part next week as it looks like they are back to the Senpai/Kouhai game!
The concept this time is much different from the others that came before it. This time around it’s a match-making game where we find out who the soul-mates are. I guess it makes sense that Mayuyu lost this one since she like, already has a soulmate, duh!
First up, as if to set the bar the highest it will ever go, is the majority’s favourite Miyazawa Sae AKA HARU. At his appearance everyone of course dies from hyper-ventilating. he of course is dressed up as the typical out-of-this-world male lead in a show or movie. Half-done shirts and loose ties and messy hair and all that. Who wouldn’t kill for some of that! Oya was just literally drooling at the sight of HARU.
Up next is none other than Watanabe Mayu AKA MINAMI. She has come dressed up as a little brother, totally worlds apart from her Doctor chara last time. I guess we now know who the incestuous…ahem…I mean the pedos…Oh God…Either way we know who are into that kind of thing. They tried to hide it of course by not voting for MINAMI but their reactions gave them away anyway.
Good job MINAMI, you should join the secret service department.
Then next up came THE KUU – Minegishi Minami AKA KANATA. Oh how I missed thee Kuu…I mean KANATA. It’s been like, what, three years? four? Ahhh, any way it’s great to have you back and very happy to see you still got ur game on. If they were using that old voting system I have the feeling Kuu damn it, KANATA, not Kuu, KANATA!!Anyway, KANATA would have totally gotten 19/20 votes easily. Everyone was all over him like a mischief of angry rats! Seriously, look at Kitarie so obviously licking her lips! It’s like she wants to take KANATA right then and there!
KANATA is a sports person and he loves soccer. He knows not of anything other than it so he hopes to learn a few things about girls today.
Damn, even her name is kickass! KANATA – It tastes like chocolate on my tongue! Ah, I am so glad Miichan is in Team B now. So very glad!
For differentiation in flavour next we have a whole new entry. One never ever seen before – a Studious, geeky guy – SAKU AKA Matsui Sakiko. I think I saw Kitarie lose a heartbeat forever there. I too was like, who the faek is that!?! But then I was like…Whaaaaaa?!! Sakiko?! That Sakiko?! You be trippin’! SAKU is at the peak of intelligence so he figured it was about time to tackle the most difficult subject of all – Love or was that girls? One can never tell these days.
SAKU actually proved to be quite the popular one actually. Girls do love some intelligence in their boys after all.
Bringing down the curtains was one who made all go ‘OMG WHAT’S THIS I DON’T EVEN….’ Akimoto Sayaka AKA – Fluerrinandesu Louis (WTF!?!) The French-Japanese half-breed….I mean…err…what do I even mean?! I am pretty sure Aki-chan and Haachan had to change a few…ahem…garments after the show! I know I had to change my top because I was drinking some herbal tea at the time and, well, you know…LOUIS showed up out of the blue!
And guess what he is supposed to be, this awesome being!?! The frikking Prince! Prince of what though, we never know! prince of France? Japan? Or is it both?! Any way he is the type to fit right in at Ohtori Gakuen – In the damn Student Council to boot! Loot at the awesome he is spewing by simply being him!
Ahh…LOUIS! Please take me now as ur Princess!
And there you have it! Five killer Danso out on the table for the taking. Place ur bets and prepare to fight for ur chance to win one as your soul mate nao! Everyone came prepared with Oya ringing out the sexiest hair-do and Kitarie not to be out-done putting effort in her looks for the rarerest of times. RanRan shipped off her boyish personality and was all girly like a true girl in love all through this episode that I indeed could not help but applaud at the perfection of this Danso ep.
Seriously, if real guys came on the show and they did the same things I doubt there would be any differences from this episode. But really, who could blame them for bringing out their inner girl-in-love! The Danso were so perfectly pulled off that I found myself even lost at the choices.
The deal was to find soul mates by the end of the ep so the first thing they do is ask each girl who their choices are from first impressions. KANATA frikkin OWNs that round like the BOSS he is! No ones picks MINAMI but I felt that Mayuyu wasn’t putting in all the effort here. It might just be me though. I guess she was prepared to woo someone…some who wasn’t there. Oh Mayuyu….
The guys on the other hand, were quite taken by Mocchi. Not surprised there since she is really the best choice for a girlfriend all things considered. She has won a lot of these competitions before actually. But will that win her a soulmate? We shall have to wait an see. Let the games begin.
First up is question and answer corner, to judge their characters I guess. Kitarie asks this.
HARU’s (Sae) answer is something about eating his mother’s home cooked meal with friends or something like that. The girls of course fell all over themselves because, hello, mother’s cooking is like definition of cute or something! I thought we were going for cool here but Oh well…
MINAMI’s (Mayuyu) answer is taking a walk together and helping him with his homework or something. probably in the park lying on the grass or something like that! Hmmm not bad. he is a young brother chara after all. Damn it, she is always so perfect.
KANATA (Miichan) says that since he is not good at anything other than soccer, he would love it if she (his girl) would come and watch his match. Of course the house of fan girls turns into the house of horrors at al the screaming. Or was that me? I couldn’t tell really. Of KANATA, I would watch your every match, even the practice ones any day any time.
SAKU (Sakiko) asks Kitarie if there is a subject she’s not good at. She answers that she isn’t great at maths so SAKU says that he is a walking library so she can ask him anything and he will help her out! Ooh, a walking library…Please teach me something SAKU! Our Dog Eel turns into an Electric Eel.
LOUIS (Sayaka) says that if they were in France, the Museum would have been the way to go or some other romantic places like the Eifel tower but he says that in actuality, he loves rabbits! (Queue the sound effect of ribs breaking). And so he would rather love it if they could go to the zoo and see all these cute animals…Oh~kay LOUIS, you are officially the funny best pal of a male lead!
Next up the guys ask the girls a question which is fired by KANATA. She asks them what boyish behaviour sets them on fire.
Minarun says that she loves it when guys laugh lightly while they have one hand in a pocket. She also is into loose ties. ooh I think there is a loose tie present actually! Too bad he has eyes for RanRan for some reason.
RanRan says that she is into sporty guys so she likes it when they get sweat or something on those lines…(Eew gross! But if it’s KANATA….hmmmm) It seem the rest are also into sweaty guys and KANATA is there to please so she shows them a sample!
I think I need not mention the reactions!
The next question is from HARU who asks what the girls would like to do with him if they were going out/dating. (Hmmm, are you sure about that question HARU!)
Oya of course can’t decide from all the indoor games she is thinking of. (ooh, bad bad girl Oya). She says anything is fine but HARU want’s a clear answer. She does not simplify of course.
Minarun is also up for anything…anything! (Okay, I want her so badly. I wish to put that answer to the test! Anything?!) HARU provides massage as an example and Minarun just nods! (Damn it, I want her!, NAO!)
RanRan asks if HARU also waking up in the mornings to which he says yes. RanRan shyly suggests wake-up phone-calls and she is all girly it’s kinda disturbing but very cute at the same time. She really wasn’t prepared for this Danso episode, was she?!
LOUIS asks the girls if they prefer phone calls or written letters. (Fooru waato paapaasu LOUIS?! Oh wait, in case he went travelling? Long distance relationship?)
And I understood the answers to this question as much as I understand how magnets work so I will skip them!
Well, there was this moment where Oya was answering and she was belittling herself and KANATA spoke up that he hoped she would have a bit more confidence in herself.
The crowd goes wild!
Can I just have the permission to bare KANATA’s babies please?
At this time, another voting is held and KANATA takes more names!
Obviously!
As for the guys, KANATA choses RanRan because, well, just like me he too was surprise by how girlish she could be. We both thought her a Dude in disguise but apparently she is a girl after all. LIOUS chooses Ran Ran as well. HARu and SAKU choose Oya while MINAMI picks Mocchi. Very different from the first time, ne. Though KANATA and RanRan are the only ones who chose the other in both rounds. Fate already decided? We shall see.
Back to the questions, Oya says that she has a dream of being woken up gently after falling asleep on the sofa. So she wants to see how they would wake her up. Let the madness commence!
Studious SAKU is up first. He quietly walks up to the sofa and squats near Oya’s head. Cutely using his hands to direct his soft and kind voice, he soothingly ask Oya to wake up. Oya wakes up to find his face only inches away. Oya can’t! Oya hides back under the blanket!
Next up is Ikemen HARU who at first seems kind but then suddenly jumps on top of Oya and surprises her! Like, that is way over-kill HARU, way over-kill! The girls’ reactions say it all.
MINAMI kills everything with cutely poking a finger in Oya’s cheek and retting her ‘Good morning Oneechan’. Sorry MINAMI, big Sis is going back to sleep. There seems to be some mulfunction in Onee-chan’s brain. Damn it! How I wish I had a little brother like MINAMI! Haruu’s face…LOL
And then to top off with cream, comes the Prince LOUIS! Surely, he isn’t going to…surely…Ah crud, he went and did it! he woerk his Princess up with a frikkin kiss! Poor Oya is going to have difficulty sleeping that night!
You can’t do that LOUIS! I think you made poor ANRE cry with your fabulousness!
Finally comes the favourite so far – KANATA! He did not just bring a real puppy to use as a wake-up alarm sound! NOPE! I do not believe it!
But he did!
Damn you KANATA!! Now I am not going to sleep peacefully!
Thank God that this ends things because I don’t think I could have handled any more of this! The games are done and the matches are made. let’s see who are lucky tonight among their stars to be mutually in love!
Pick your lovers girls and boys!
Both Minarun and Kitarie choose HARU. Now it’s up to HARU to decide their fates. Who did he choose between the two. or did he actually not choose any of the two! Let’s find out….
Unfortunately things were not to be as HARU chose neither Minarun nor Kitarie. That automatically destroys that thread of destiny! Apparently HARU had chosen Oya but since Oya did not choose him, well, Sorry HARU-kun! To rub salt in his already painful wound, Sata drops the bomb that Oya in fact did not choose HARU at all in both voting rounds.
Ouch!
But then who did Oya herself pick?
Seems like she chose the brainy SAKU. Are they meant to do it like bunnies? it’s all up to SAKU now!
With all the blinding pink, the answer is obvious. SAKU chose Oya too so they can now go off and do whatever the hell adults do at night that makes the beds squeal and everything….
The rest of the girls, Mocchi and RanRan, chose the same guy apparently. And since we saw very clearly how RanRan was all over KANATA from the get go, there are no surprises really as to who they chose. Now the matter is on KANATA’s side. In the first choosing, he went for the beauty Mocchi but then later went for RanRan who turned out to have a girl’s heart after all. What is his final choice then. Let’s see…
RanRan’s world turns lovely pink because she was chosen (Damn you lucky b…ahem) by KANATA. But really, She deserved him having been after him from the very beginning and her real change in personality from the boyish usual self to the girly girl in love was actually pretty impressive and very alluring!
So totally would write a fic about them if I didn’t have write-phobia now.
No, seriously. First I wrote about NMB’s Shiokichi and Akarin and what happened? Shiokichi announced her graduation!
Then not long ago I wrote a fic about Kumin and Non of SKE and guess what happened again?!
Kumin announced her graduation!
I so do not want Miichan to graduate so I will settle for that one fic I wrote about her and leave it at that!
Ahem…getting back to the episode, out of ten people, five possible couples/soulmates, only two couples were meant to be and that is Oya and SAKU and Ran Ran and KANATA.
Congrats to them and we give them a prize of a free all accounts paid for around the world cruise on the ASUKA III!
Hope they have a lovely time!
Till next time…

How I wish Chiyuu was included on this episode XD. Oh and since no one picked Fernandez Luis… can I have him? And let him wake me up everyday? LOL
November 3, 2012 at 22:57
You better be a Princess totz. I don’t think forbidden love works in this world just yet ^^
November 3, 2012 at 04:49
Okay… First of all: “Here’s Jonny!” Wait, no, not that 😀
Oh right. Let’s start with and explanation here. A permanent magnet is an object made from a material that is magnetized and creates its own persistent magnetic field…
Just kidding! 😛
But this episode was off the charts in women’s hearts. 🙂 And in my heart as well. Sakiko was just like: Where did this come from? But she was a good choice for danso. What good, perfect. She finally became a man she herself likes. If this makes any sense. 😀 But seriously, she likes “uglier” type guys so yeah…
When Sayaka erm… Louis Fernandez came into the game I was like: “I just hope she’s not going to mess it up, just don’t mess it up Sayaka! Not now! Make the girls die in heart attack caused by your coolness!” Thank god, she didn’t mess it up this time.
I loved Minarun’s reactions. Like when her tongue was all out when ‘HARU’ jumped onto Oya on that sofa. Also when she said about the massage that if it’s for a person whom she loves then she’s in! Oh man, I want to take bring that girl into a bad, like NOW! 🙂
Asuka’s popularity is nothing to be surprised of. She is optimally balanced in character/body feature-vise in the whole group.
But the thing I didn’t understand was why were you so surprised of RanRan’s sudden girlish behavior. Was that only me who wasn’t shocked when I saw her reactions in this AKBINGO! episode? I mean, c’mon! She showed so many signs of being so girlish. Was that only me who noticed those? She is just as much of a girl as Nakanishi Yuka from SKE. Looks can be deceiving!
The most notable thing in this episode was KitaRie. I felt as she wanted to take down Asuka as she was all out. Was that me who thought that Rie came here for a boyfriend and beat down the competition?
Anyway, I’m definitely going to watch this more than one time. I need to catch every “secret word” the girl’s said in it.
PS: You were mentioning your fictions causing catastrophes all over and such… Let me tell you this. I wrote a single fan fiction about Acchan and Yukirin and what happened? Acchan, the Ace the No.1 graduates. What does this make me? “Kragorin, anta ga yakubyou ga mitai… iya, Shinigami ka?”
November 3, 2012 at 22:57
Well, you get points for taking down the Ace that’s for sure.
As for RanRan, I guess I was totally deceived by her because I just wasn’t into her before until this episode. So I am in the same boat as Kanata there.
November 3, 2012 at 14:58
I hope they do a part 2 soooo badly. Think of all the members they’ve missed out so far…
Takamina. (and Kojiharu – then we’d have mendol all over again!)
Shinoda would be good. And Shimada.
The other Matsuis….. 😀 No, I am not drooling at the thought of that, I am not…
Omigod – speaking of SKE, we need an NMB danso!!!! Like NOW!!!! Maachun and Yamamoto dansoing, Fukumoto… and of course, Tanigawa and Koyanagi, who I consider ‘the guys’ of Team M. Lol, even a Milky danso could totally work…
November 3, 2012 at 22:55
Me thinks they are simply afraid of NMB POWNing AKB were they to get together.
Seriously, NMB in Majisuka too would have been frikkin Awesome but alas!
I swear AKS sometimes sucks hard!
November 3, 2012 at 17:22
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG MY INNER SHOTACON IS APPEARING OMG MA-, MINAMI Y U SO CUTE LEMME BE UR ONEECHAN ALSKDJALSKDJSALKDJ *dies*
*revives* OH MANN, I wish they will have Yuka doing danso someday, SRSLY! She looks good EVEN WITH THAT BEARD IN ARIYOSHI OH GOSH XD
November 3, 2012 at 22:54
Well, at least someone was completely taken by Minami ^^
I felt that she actually pulled off the young-brother chara quite well.
Oh well…
November 4, 2012 at 12:02
Yeah, Haru and Kanata are good-looking, and Louis is awesomely gap-moe and romantic, (and Saku isn’t my type at all), but nothing beats Minami’s adorableness x3~
November 4, 2012 at 12:03
Not to mention Minami lacked of screen time, PLS GIRLS, DAFUQ QAQ
November 4, 2012 at 14:05
I noticed that too, like, WTF!?! I wanted to enjoy my Minami in glasses more!!
November 4, 2012 at 18:08
Well, at the very least your screenshots give a hell lot of Minami moment. Thanks a lot! ❤
November 3, 2012 at 22:46
what episode is this???
November 3, 2012 at 22:53
The date is best to be used since the episode numbers are tricky, what with the specials and 0ji complicating things. So I included the airing date. 31st October 2012.
November 4, 2012 at 23:21
I found it strange anyone choose MINAMI-kun …. he was so kawaii o xD…….. but I did not think SAKU’S beautiful but anyway ……Sae -chan always perfect, Kanata was so cool! And Lous…..was so funny!
