HKT48's early days were pretty fun in that they were the youngest group & they really had no baggage or form yet. AKB48 were the Stars, SKE48 were the Upstarts (1st Sister group), NMN48 were the cool & comedic Sexy gals...but HKT48 were unproven & basically a bunch of cute giggling girls who were like the "Little Sister" of the Established groups (No Baggage). Here we have top members of HKT48 guest on "AKBingo" & play the signature battle of wits "Truth Chess" where they strap a lie-detector to the Idols & have them ask each other embarrassing questions. What's fun to note here is that Sakura Miyawaki (the Idolin the thumbnail) would later grow so popular she became an "ACE" (Center) in AKB48 and later dominate & rank #2 in the Korean survival program "Produce48" & become internationally adored & famous as a member of KPOP / JPOP mega girl group IZ*ONE. The gal she's playing against is Haruka Kodama ("Haruppi") who is HKT48's 1st "Ace" in that she was the face of the group & led their 1st debut single. She later excelled & was on her way to becoming an AKB48 fixture (like Sakura) until a Wrestling accident forced her into early Idol retirement ("Tofu Wrestling" was TV drama a bunch of AKS girls did in around 2016?)- Haruppi later returned to graduate & is now a drama actress & model. HERE you can see where it ALL began. I occassionally argue w/ Femi- girls on Twitter about Sakura & people saying "I'm Not a Fan"- Bitches I hard-drives full of TV shows, subs, & concerts of HKT48 from early 2013 (when this clip aired?)- I got reciepts. Sakura is a Larger than Life IDOL now - she's about to debut in her 3rd new Idol group from HYBE entertainment - but remember I was there cheering when she was this cute little chipmunk. If you were a fan of AKB48 in it's heyday - you knew HKT48 was the little sister group and it's interesting to see how this goofy young lady grew into such an Amazing Swan. I didn't really "Notice Her" potential till like 2018 as I thought she'd never do something like KPOP but she's continues to strive for excellence & find new challenges. I'm more into IZ*ONE (adult) Sakura so don't ask me anything about her past or early teen years- I just have a lot HKT48 stuff cause my Oshi was Chihiro Anai & I thought Haruppi was hysteical (as she was leader of HKT48). Sakura almost became a Doctor & she's actually really smart but HERE she's in a "Battle of Wits" against her rival in "TRUTH CHESS" and imagine if someone told you SHE by age of 20 would be MORE Popular, recognized & Financially successful than probably every other girl in this room. (*for archival purposes for those who want the actual name & date of this show: "130130-AKBINGO!-ep223-(HKT48-Shojiki-Shogi)" - I got receipts you)

NMB48 is the sexier group in the AKB sister group sytem. NMB48 girls are from Osaka, Japan. So to give you non-weebs a visual, Imagine Tokyo is like New York and Osaka is like Florida - so they're Southern & Sexy! Such is the case of Milky (Miyuki Watanabe) who is the Sexiest, flirtious, most Charming "Fisher" in all of the Idol groups. She excels at: Singing, Dancing, Comedy, TV / Variety shows, and is exceptional at 'Fishing' - it's a Kawaii power kinda like a 'Jedi Mind Trick' but obviously WAY Cuter! So w/ this knowledge in hand - please enjoy the time Milky visited HKT48's 1st TV show when they were VERY new (like 2013 new!). The funny thing to watch is the leader of HKT48 is future AKB48 election queen Sashihara Rino who is the host of the show and quite the comedy queen herself. Watch as she tries to maintain her dominence in the face of Milky's Invasion & comedy techniques.
