The several units that exist within Nogizaka46

have presented their activities and unit benefits

this is the 2nd half of the episode where they try

to recruit new members

Back in the 1st half

Hey everybody, since today could really be our last job

Get fired up and do your best!

Here we go

ganbari~

The strongest unit in terms of business

Sayuringo

We'll have birthday parties...

this is just a party group

And then the party unit Inumen

At the cafe it was myself, Yuuri, and Nyaa

But Nishino hasn't left the cafe

And the unit that loves freedom. Watermelon made their appearance

In the end

which unit will be able to capture the hearts of the Independents and Himura?

Going 1st in the 2nd half

Tulip

Hello everyone

We are Tulip

[ Nice womanly feel ]

The Tulip members are us 6

originally we formed as people who loved Disney. Myself

Takayama
originally we formed as people who loved Disney. Myself

Takayama

Chiharu, Kawamura, Kawago. Us 5

we created TeamD

TeamD

The D is from Disney?

That's correct, we formed back then

and since then Maaya

joined us

So we powered up and became Tulip

Why the name change to Tulip? Where does that come from?

Maaya is Tulip...

Maaya is Tulip?

Any paper you give her, she'll draw tulips

[ Wada's survey ]
Any paper you give her, she'll draw tulips

[ Wada's survey ]

She draws tulips on everything

Doesn't that just make her a plain fool!

[ Flower fields in her head? ]

You call yourself Tulip because idiot Maaya draws them?

Maaya is the only one that draws the tulips

Maaya draws them

You draw them?

Even at karaoke, I always sing tulip
You draw them?

Even at karaoke, I always sing tulip

The band Tulip?

You're not talking about Zaitsu Kazuo-san right?

hon no chiisana~

That song right?

And here are some of Tulip's activities

We go to theme parks

Now I see

and sleepovers

That's awesome

We'll meetup and play the Werewolf board game through the night

that's back from when it got really popular

About 3 years ago?

Its been 4 years

You've been around for 4 years

Out of all the groups we're the most senior

Is that so?

[ The oldest unit within Nogizaka46 ]

Close to 5 years

As soon as Nogizaka was formed then?

Not that early, maybe after a year had passed, we got along

Is that true?

You became Tulip recently?

No, that was still 4 years ago

So you've spent 4 years as Tulip

You've really bloomed without most people knowing!

[ Not getting noticed ]

But we are oldest. That is amazing

So you've always gone to theme parks and played werewolf?

That sounds like so much fun

In the beginning we'd sleepover at each others houses fairly often

it was at my house

and also then at Takayama's house

And also we offer more freedom than Watermelon

its never all of us that get together

[ So much freedom, not everyone shows up ]

About 2 years ago

Naa-chan came over and then one time Iku-chan

[ Already has unit experience ]

You've been around so long, people have stopped by

It was about 4 years ago

We happened to be staying

at the same hotel for work, we played Werewolf

and ate ice cream on the beds, I have strong memories of that

That's good
and ate ice cream on the beds, I have strong memories of that

That's good

As a group of friends

you guys seem like the oldest unit

So its like you personally choose

to remain an Independent

This is bringing back memories

[ There's a chance? ]

And then we have a motto

here it is

Just enjoy yourself

Those are great words

We started as a unit to enjoy Disneyland

and so this is what we emphasize the most

And here when we take a look at the group chats of Tulip

We'll send a lot of weird and digitally altered pictures to each other

lots of playing around

Wait, so who is who?

What is this?

Hina-chan is really into those altered photos

I make funny pics on a regular basis

What is "an"

Ah, that's me

No way

That's creeping me out

The eyes are pure black

During that time Takayama

there's pictures of her when she was little

It got on the group chat

Since it showed up in a group chat

other pictures of other members when they were small

got sent out. It became like a childhood

photo competition or something
got sent out. It became like a childhood

photo competition or something

Here's what it looked like

Who's who?

Ah, Takayama. Let me think which one is her

Its kind of hard

This is hard

I think mine is pretty easy

She's got to be the girl in red

Correct answer

That's Takayama

After that

Do you know which one is me?
After that

Do you know which one is me?

Maybe the one on the bottom right taking a bath?

That's not it

The picture above that one then

That's not me

Its her then

I'm on the bottom left

the one with the bumpy face

Completely different

I look like a boy

Then who are the last two?

Top right is Chii

Seriously?

That's Rotty?

I'm on the bottom right

I never would have guessed

Well that's how we have fun

And then also

Someone throw up one of Himura-san's photos in with those

A picture of an old guy would never make it up there

[ Old guy in his early childhood ]

And the benefits for joining Tulip are

Here they are

You get to eat some of Ami's full course meals

What is Ami's full course about?

Out of us I'm pretty much the one

that's the good cook

What's on Ami's full course?

My ginger pork dish

Who's got that ginger pork?

[ immediate response ]

There must be other things on the full course

I'll make an omelette rice, and also breakfast
There must be other things on the full course

I'll make an omelette rice, and also breakfast

[ After everyone stays overnight Noujo cooks her special breakfast ]

You cook for them as a parting gift?

That sounds really good

And then Takayama's mother makes iced coffee

chocolate cake too

[ iced coffee chocolate cake? ]

First time I've heard of iced coffee cake. Is this popular?
[ iced coffee chocolate cake? ]

First time I've heard of iced coffee cake. Is this popular?

Famous?

Its really good

Iced coffee chocolate cakes are famous then?

Its just as delicious as something a pro would make

She has a license to make iced coffee

So the iced coffee is one of the desserts she makes?

[ They keep the iced coffee chocolate in stock so you'll definitely get some if you go ]

And we always have plenty in stock so everyone gets to have some

oishii

Everybody gets to eat iced coffee chocolate cake

[ The best feature of Tulip? ]

That's the best

And then we have some requirements for joining

here they are

we have to take baths together

Himura-san can't do that one

[ Blocked by the gender wall ]

And that's a hard requirement?
[ Blocked by the gender wall ]

And that's a hard requirement?

There's no way

But its very important to us right?

Why so important?

Meeting together naked...

That's fine for a group of women

but we're discussing whether Himura-san can join up

That's right

But as long as he doesn't look at us with pervy eyes...

I would never do that!
But as long as he doesn't look at us with pervy eyes...

I would never do that!

I'd never do that!

You absolutely would

I would definitely not!

Yes you would!

You have to trust me!

For that, you can trust me!

Trust me

Now it sounds like a weird religious cult

[ It all depends on what's in your heart ]

But you really can trust me

Well, none of us think of you as a man so...

[ That's got to be a shock ]

Yes, that one was shocking to hear

but that's fine. No weird looks

That really goes both ways

There's no way! Himura-san is lying if he's telling you he won't have any feelings in there with you

I'm not lying
There's no way! Himura-san is lying if he's telling you he won't have any feelings in there with you

I'm not lying

And why? Why is that?

Because I'll be a Tulip

Tulip is like the title of an ero mag right?

If we're all Tulip, we can take baths together right?

Even if you're Tulip, to imagine you getting in a bath with them

That's a major problem!

Well I got it, but I don't think its that big a deal
That's a major problem!

Well I got it, but I don't think its that big a deal

Totally fine right

And with that, we the members of Tulip

are waiting for new members to sign up

That was amazing

Tulip is certainly interesting

Let's ask the Independents what they think

Ikuta, you've already had some experience with Tulip right?

I have some experience and recently
Ikuta, you've already had some experience with Tulip right?

I have some experience and recently

with Ami, Chii-chan, and was it Hime-tan?

we all went out for dinner

It felt like we were really close

So you've got thoughts of joining?

Well yes, a little bit

But still

you'll have to take baths with them

and if Ikuta joins, there's a chance Himura-san will also join

Himura could be a new member

all this could actually happen
Himura could be a new member

all this could actually happen

Well, if he doesn't look at us with pervy eyes....

[ Easily accepted in ]

This old man will be in your bath. That's not right!

You'll have to trust me

Regarding that, you can trust me

You'll have an immediate reaction

I won't react to anything

If there's trust its all fine

How about Shiraishi?

That group sounds like it would be really fun
How about Shiraishi?

That group sounds like it would be really fun

and that iced coffee cake

I'm really curious about that cake
and that iced coffee cake

I'm really curious about that cake

[ The enchanting gateaux chocolate ]

But still, the possiblity exists

that you'll join and have to take a bath with them

Just Shiraishi and the members is fine but

if Himura-san were to join the group

Of course you wouldn't go along with that

Well...

as long as he doesn't look with pervy eyes...

Yes, that's fine

you'll have to trust me there

I would never look with pervy eyes

You definitely would!

As long as everyone trusts me, its all perfectly fine

That can't be

Himura-san in a bathtub with top idols

[ Disturbing imagery ]
Himura-san in a bathtub with top idols

[ Disturbing imagery ]

He'd say like "Pass the shampoo"

this cannot happen
He'd say like "Pass the shampoo"

this cannot happen

There won't be anything like that

just pass the shampoo like normal

To say as long as he doesn't look at us with pervy eyes

that's too funny

And the final presentation

the Manatsu-san Respect Unit

We are the Manatsu-san Respect Unit

[ sloppy ]

She messed up

Could you do that again?

We are Manatsu-san Respect Unit

There it is

Looks a bit like Nogizaka's intro

Usually this fingernail would be painted red

It would normally?

Usually as a unit we get a manicure on this finger

So this

symbolizes being permanently connected to the fans

So if Himura-san joined your group

Himura-san would have to keep his pinky manicured?

Yes, any show that he appears on, it would have to stay red

No problem for me

Himura, did you hear her?

Any show you appear on your finger will be painted red. That would be strange

If you showed up on another show with your pinky like that people would start talking

Why is that? It's proof that I'm Manatsu-san Respect

[ Shouldn't that be obvious? ]

The story behind the creation of the unit

when Nogizaka was on 46 Hour TV

I came on after Sayuringo
when Nogizaka was on 46 Hour TV

I came on after Sayuringo

[ Formed as resistance to Sayuringo ]

I thought "What could I do to compete with their unit"

so I got the girls that I liked together

So this isn't a gathering of people who respect you?

But Sagara must respect her right?

You share clothes or something right?

half and half

[ confusion ]

But you do respect her?

I do

These two definitely don't

You do right?
These two definitely don't

You do right?

hmm

[ You can see the darkness ]

And the type of activities Manatsu-san Respect are involved with are

There it is, they put out songs also

Single releases and magazine articles

Our own show on Nico Live

You have your own show?

[ Randomly record shows for streaming on Nico Live ]

Its not on a set schedule but Manatsu-san Respect does "I want to see this" themed shows

there's been like 4 or 5 of them

All 4 of you appear?
there's been like 4 or 5 of them

All 4 of you appear?

So it gets them work. How about the songs?

[ Nidome no Kiss Kara released as the coupling song on the 16th single ]

That's amazing

And our song [ Nidome no Kiss Kara ]

we have a very important role for Himura-san on that song if he joins

Nidome no Kiss Kara?

[ Nidome no Kiss Kara ] has a shout out

There's a part from the guy's point of view in the song

And we've never had anyone to fill in for that part

And I was just thinking who and from where could we do this

but now we've found Himura-san

You already have a job

Let me show you how the timing of it works

Himura-san, if you could remember this

Give it a try

Could you sing the chorus for us?
Give it a try

Could you sing the chorus for us?

[ Can't hide that emotional divide ]

nidome no kiss kara me wo samase~

nomikomareruna!~

uttori to kuchibiru~

kasanete shimau saimin~

ichidome wa ore to~
kasanete shimau saimin~

ichidome wa ore to~

That part

You don't have anyone to say that?

That "with me" part

The song is about everything starting from the 2nd kiss, so the line is make your 1st kiss with me

That's the background

And we don't have anyone to do that

Would you like to try it?

You got it? Its memorized

[ Quick learner ]

Himura-san is quick like that

"ichidome wa ore to" Got it

nidome no kiss kara me wo samase~

nomikomareruna!~

uttori to kuchibiru~

kasanete shimau saimin~

ichidome wa ore to!

[ Perfect shout out ]

That's perfect

Is that so?

Is that a good one?

That's perfect

I really don't get the feeling you're all in the same group

[ Idols and a middle aged fan ]

We're the same group. Or could be from now on

If you join it seems you would get these benefits

No problems getting work

No problems?

I mentioned before that we do a show on Nico Live

and doing a show like that on Nico Live

The members send out a message

like "I want to do something like this"

and when I was putting out my photo book

I told the group I wanted to do a release day celebration show

and we filmed that show

everything I could ask for came true

There must be some respect here

Yes, really they came together to help me do that show
There must be some respect here

Yes, really they came together to help me do that show

Are you sure the "no problems getting work" doesn't just apply to you?

The other members too?

The others also right?

Yes, its true

hai hai

[ Rejecting the unit leader ]
hai hai

[ Rejecting the unit leader ]

hai hai

Are they going to be ok?

Those Nico Live shows, myself and Kana-chan have been doing a show for 4 years

And the Nico Live staff that does our show does theirs

Sayuringo did a show

and thats allowed Manatsu-san to do a show

Its like they're enjoying our success

Its not really the draw of Manatsu-san's unit

the shows are from Sayuringo's selling power

These are some really hard feelings

[ Internal blood feud ]

If you entered either Sayuringo or Manatsu-san Respect

you'd have to take on this fight

[ Unavoidable conflict ]

That's right.

So then there are requirements for entering our unit

Here it is

Tell me what it is

You will respect Manatsu-san

and show off your shoulders

That's a harsh one

Making him show his shoulders is going to be hard on Himura-san

So my understanding of what she said

On other shows, your entire shoulder will be exposed

Can he just wear a tank top?

I'd rather just his shoulders be exposed

Just this area?

That's correct

Not sure I can. That [Unbelievable] show I do will be a problem for me

[ Other than that show its all clear... ]

How about just for Nogichuu...

Seeing Himura-san's bare shoulder on this show all the time would be weird

No way! Give up trying to join this group

All these conditions for Himura-san haven't been good

[ His partner is worried ]
All these conditions for Himura-san haven't been good

[ His partner is worried ]

I wasn't expecting it to be this bad for you

And finally we have the future plans for Manatsu-san Respect

We're going to have a surprise live show on the streets

You sure? You'd get in trouble

The 4 of us as a unit haven't done any events anywhere

since I want us to do a show

and Sayuringo is trying to play Budokan

that's what she said

and since we get the hand me downs

and don't want to blatantly copy them

Like on the streets of Oomiya, we could stand on mikan boxes

and sing one song and leave

I'd like to keep it low key

The people of Oomiya will get pissed

why are these girls mocking our town?
The people of Oomiya will get pissed

why are these girls mocking our town?

[ Standing on mikan boxes is enough? ]

Oh, that's your hometown? That's why

Let's ask the Independents

Nakada

That last part with the live show out on the streets

you're not going to make any money doing that

[ Lacking business acumen ]

How about Higuchi?

I feel like there's a lot of friction between those 2 units

You noticed all the fighting right?

I don't feel like its something I should join in
You noticed all the fighting right?

I don't feel like its something I should join in

If you enter Sayuringo you'll be fighting with Manatsu's unit

and if you join Manatsu's unit, you'd have to fight Sayuringo

I don't want any part of that

Shiraishi what did you think of Manatsu-san Respect?

Out of all the units

its not complete awkwardness but

I didn't see much unity within the group

[ The unit covered in darkness ]

In regards to that

if I were to join them

that doesn't seem like much fun

And also if Shiraishi-san joined the unit

you'd then have to respect Manatsu-san

Respect?...that's going to take some time

[ Currently no respect ]

All of the unit presentations are complete

In the end

is there a unit that either the Independents or Himura will want to join?

Let's start with Higuchi then

onegaishimasu

I'll stay an Independent

independent

[ Unable to recruit a new member ]

Why'd you make this choice?

Entering at this point in time seems frightening

Its frightening

[ Just the thought of joining is scary ]

And next its Nakada

what will she choose?

How about it Nakada?

I'm staying Independent

[ Unable to recruit a new member ]

Why?

After thinking about it

forming a team with the Independents and doing activities

I think would lead to more money

[ The sweet part of staying Independent ]

But you won't get any direct leads to new jobs

And that's 2 consecutive misses

Up next

Hoshino

How about it?

Staying Independent

Well we knew it

[ Unable to recruit a new member ]

I thought Hoshino would join a unit

I thought belonging to a group would be good for you

Right now I'm good being alone

[ Wants to be alone ]

That's how she's feeling
[ Wants to be alone ]

That's how she's feeling

And that's 3 consecutive losses

And what will Shiraishi's response be?

So Shiraishi

what do you think?

Independent

[ Unable to recruit a new member ]

They're all staying Independent

Each unit has their charm right?

Obviously they all have their benefits

but joining now is too late

like if I joined Inumen

there's already other members there right

And then the members that join now

I feel like those members would get shut out

[ The exclusionist unit ]

Its true, there's a lot of things to like about Inumen but

they're already such a close group
Its true, there's a lot of things to like about Inumen but

they're already such a close group

but its so important to them whether or not you performed in that play

This looks bad Himura-san. All the Independents

[ 4 consecutive losses ]

Only Ikuta remains

will it all end with zero new recruits?

Is there a unit you'd like to join?

Tulip

[ Ikuta is joining Tulip ]

From Independent

she's going to join Tulip

What?

Why make that choice?

Its like...they all make me laugh

that's why I think it'll be fun
Its like...they all make me laugh

that's why I think it'll be fun

[ Warm reception ]

They got a new member Himura-san

Tulip

Happy right?
Tulip

Happy right?

So happy

[ What's wrong with you? ]

She's laughing so hard

What happened Ikuta?

No really. They all make me laugh so hard

They all make you laugh?

You think they're stupid?

[ Completely looking down on all of them ]

Going last its Himura

Will he make a sudden decision to join?

And finally Himura-san

you've heard all the presentations

Is there a unit you'd like to join?

There is!

[ Heart set on a unit ]
There is!

[ Heart set on a unit ]

You won't remain Independent

Ok

announce the name

of that unit

onegaishimasu

It's Tulip

[ Himura is joining Tulip ]

Please hold on a second

This is all messed up

He wants the bath!

He's definitely thinking about that bath!

He's looking straight ahead though. Hold on now

This is a major problem

To join Tulip you have to take a bath with them

that was one of their conditions

He seems happy right now, so first of all Himura-san

hai

what was the deciding factor for you picking Tulip?

Because I want to go to Disneyland

[ Pure reason ]

And this has nothing to do with taking a bath with them

Nope, I just want to go to Disneyland

Let's all go!
Nope, I just want to go to Disneyland

Let's all go!

But there is a condition that you must bathe with them to join

Ah, of course hai

Of course I'll do that, hai

Since I won't be looking at them with pervy eyes

And we won't look at you in that way

Hold on

These members had already consented to doing this

But Ikuta, how do you feel about bathing with Himura-san?

You ok with that?

As long as he doesn't look with pervy eyes

Please put your trust in me then

[ All conditions cleared ]

So now one day

Nogizaka members and Himura

there's going to be pictures of them in the tub

[ Don't miss it? ]

Until that day comes
