Osaka's Top Comedians Control NMB48! This video is a surprise prank where comedians give instructions to NMB48 members while they participate in a fake Oogiri (large-group comedy improvisation) location shoot, aiming to fool the target MC comedians. The NMB48 members participating in the fake shoot and acting as the pranksters are Ayano Izumi, Yayoi Ryumoto, Mai Hirayama, and Kurumi Mikamo. Furthermore, Captain Keito Shiotsuki watches over the members from the monitoring room. The four comedians giving instructions to NMB48 are Yamana of Akina, Fukumoto of Jock Rock, Higashi of Double Higashi, and Hideki of Time Keeper – all highly skilled comedians representing the Kansai region. They devise various schemes to prank the target, the rising young duo Sanyūkan.

NMB48 Delivers Hilarious Answers at Osaka's Symbol, Tsutenkaku!? The video is set at Tsutenkaku, the symbol of Naniwa (Osaka). As part of a fake Oogiri competition to showcase cuteness, NMB48 members take on Oogiri challenges related to Tsutenkaku, such as "What cute events have been held at Tsutenkaku?" and "Look through the binoculars and tell us what cute things you see." Inagitsugi of Sanyūkan serves as the judge for their answers. However, the answers from NMB48 are unexpectedly humorous, far from what one might expect from idols! Will they be able to continue the prank until the end without being discovered by the Sanyūkan duo?
