NMB48 is being controlled by talented Kansai comedians!

In this video, comedians send instructions to NMB48 members during a fake 'ogiri' (comedy prompt) location shoot to pull a prank on the target: the 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. Additionally, captain Keito Shiotsuki watches over the members from a monitoring room.

Providing the instructions to NMB48 are four of Kansai's leading talented comedians: Yamana from Akina, Fukumoto from Jock Rock, Higashi from Double Higashi, and Hideki from Time Keeper. They use various tricks to prank the targets, the up-and-coming comedy duo Sanyukan.

Will NMB48 reel off funny answers at the symbol of Naniwa, Tsutenkaku!?

The setting for the video is the symbol of Naniwa, Tsutenkaku. As part of a fake ogiri location shoot competing for "cuteness," NMB48 takes on prompts related to Tsutenkaku, such as "What kind of cute events have been held at Tsutenkaku?" and "Tell us something cute you found while looking through binoculars," while Sanyukan's Inatsugu judges the answers.

However, the answers coming from NMB48 are far from what you would expect from idols! Will they be able to continue the shoot until the end without being found out by the two members of Sanyukan...!?
