So you guys remember that idol special where Momoko was abused by one of the hosts? I even posted a screenshot/download link post about it.
Just in case you missed both of those, well, Mechaike held an idol special in September 2011 that pitted quite a few non-AKB idol groups against each other in various games to see who would come out victorious.
When TPF-Subs leader SFGundam (shameless promotion: check out our new website) came to me and said he was considering picking up this project, I was incredibly happy. Anyone who saw the unsubbed version knows how epic it is, so sure, why not? Then I found out that it would be a four person project (2 translators, an editor, and me), I thought he was insane. Normally a project of this caliber takes double that amount of staff, so this was a huge challenge for every single person involved.
A huge thanks goes to SFGundam, murr, and Aleria Carventus for making this happen. All four of us worked so very hard on this for a long time to make sure us foreign fans would be able to understand such an amazing show. I can't speak for everyone, but for me, it was the hardest video I've ever worked on in the 3+ years I've been fansubbing. The typesetting especially was really difficult because it required a lot of hiding the original kanji to make it look decent. Before TPF, I'd never even tried typesetting, so I'm very happy that I was able to complete a video this difficult. The vast majority of the captions are completely translated (I'd say around 95%), so you'll really get the complete experience.
I won't go into a full screenshot review here since I did that in a previous post (and it's best not spoiled anyway), but I will give a basic description of it.
For this special occasion, idol groups Berryz Koubou, S/mileage, SDN48, Idoling!!!, PASSPO☆, SUPER☆GiRLS, Ebisu Muscats, and Nakano Fujo Sisters all came together to battle for the title of best non-AKB idol group.
After getting to know the groups individually, they played three games - a flag retrieval challenge, a high jump, and a one-on-one sumo battle. At stake was a chance to perform their new single at the end of the show on primetime television. It doesn't get much better than that for an idol group! Watch as Berryz and S/mileage represent Hello! Project and take on a bunch of other idol groups eying that very same prize.

Check it out!
Just finished watching it. Is it just me or the audio disappears at 46:17 till the end? ._.
ReplyDeleteYeah sorry guys, I edited out a CM and it must have screwed up the audio. I could fix it, but does any actually care? Because you'd have to download a whole 900 MB video just for a minute worth of audio. I could certainly fix it though.
ReplyDelete^ why not redo it and I'll reupload on a streaming site (ex. megavideo)
ReplyDeleteThis was an awesome special!! Thanks so much for subbing!!!
ReplyDeleteWow thanks a ton for the hard work! This was very enjoyable, even though I already saw it without subs. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteYESSSS!!!! I just KNEW you guys would sub it! I KNEW IT! *squeals with happiness*
ReplyDeleteOh, and didn't they play 3 games? Remember the one where they had to jump over the pole. (I think there's a name for it, I just can't remember, haha!)
I hope I can watch this soon! ;)
OMG.... I can't believe you actually sub this!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy! Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your hard work.
New link added that has completely working sound.
ReplyDelete@Shayna: lol you're right. thanks.
Also if anyone knows how to remux videos and just wants the audio file let me know.
ReplyDeleteYeah this was a loooong video. Or maybe it just felt like it because I edited it on New Year's Day XD
ReplyDeleteIt was so worth it though.
Thanks for re-uploading! <3
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely re-download it. XD I'm starting to get addicted to SDN48's Min Min Min. Otherwise, this is too funny. XD Especially the "BANG!" sounds when there was a panty-shot LOL. Epic.
meimei's eyes looked possessed lol and maasa-hime is perfect how she is >:0
ReplyDeleteI died laughing just watching the raw. Can't wait to understand it fully. Seems like a ton of work (can't believe you guys even bothered with the captions!), thanks a lot for subbing and sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
ReplyDeleteBTW, does a certain group have to remove the star from their name because they got less points? Hehe....
Wow. This is awesome. I live in London and I am KOrean but love Japanese everything. My roommate is Japanese and always talked about this show. I saw part of it unsubbed, but I watched this fully and wow! It is really funny!
