Talented Kansai comedians control NMB48!

This video is a prank project where comedians send instructions to NMB48 members while conducting a fake comedy-response location shoot, aiming to trick the target MC comedians.

The four NMB48 members participating in the fake shoot and acting as the pranksters are Ayano Izumi, Yayoi Tatsumoto, Mai Hirayama, and Kurumi Mikamo. Furthermore, Captain Keito Shiotsuki watches over the members from a monitoring room.

And the four talented comedians representing Kansai giving instructions to NMB48 are Yamana from Akina, Fukumoto from Jock Rock, Higashi from Double Higashi, and Hideki from Time Keeper. They pull off the prank on the targets, the up-and-coming young duo Sanyukan, using various tricks.

NMB48 unleashes a series of funny answers at Tsutenkaku, the symbol of Naniwa!?

The stage for the video is Tsutenkaku, the symbol of Naniwa. In a fake comedy response segment competing on 'cuteness', NMB48 tackles Tsutenkaku-themed questions such as 'What cute event has been held at Tsutenkaku?' and 'Tell us a cute thing you found looking through binoculars', while Inatsugu from Sanyukan progresses the show by judging the answers.

However, what comes out from NMB48 are hilariously un-idol-like answers! Can they make it to the end without the two members of Sanyukan catching on...
