Back Street Girls -GOKUDOLS- (Back Street Girls -ゴクドルズ-)

#40 Prank

We're out of ideas. How about pranking them?

The GOKUDOLS?

They're naive. It should be funny, right?

You're right. What should we do?

Stick with the classics, like a sudden yakuza attack.

Oh, that's nice.

"Search for Downtown Tastes!"

Today we're at the 50-year-old "Suzuki Curry!"

Do you like curry?

We love it!

It's an ordinary curry with a traditional taste.

Please, try it.

Looks tasty!

How about we have a taste?

Let's eat!

What the hell?

Old woman!

When will you pay the flyers fee?

I'm sorry. Business has been tough.

So what? It's tough for us, too!

Do you want us to destroy your place?

Please don't.

What the fuck are you filming?

Sorry!

Who do you think we are, asshole?

Pay now!

I've kept quiet and listened to you, but who the hell are you, huh?

What's your group, shithead?

Huh? What?

I'm asking which yakuza group you are!

Aren't you ashamed, taking money from this humble place?

Huh? What are you...?

Huh? What's going on?

Stop talking, smart-ass!

Yeah, you punk asshole!

Want a fight? Huh?

Fight us, you bastards!

-Eh? -Go outside, assholes!

Who are these freaks?

Is this a prank on us?

OK, OK, that's enough.

It's not enough!

They'll get cocky if you don't stand up to them!

Which group are you, bastards?

They couldn't have! The staff's being pranked?

What... should we do?

The prank's been blown, but let's just give them a name.

Some famous yakuza group.

It's Daikoku, you bastards! You want a fight?

Daikoku?

DAIKOKU FAMILY

INUGANE GROUP

Excuse our rudeness!

We didn't know you're from our head family!

Forgive us!

What great acting!

But we're real actors!

Your apologies are too little, too late.

Do you think you'll get off easy after picking a fight with Daikoku?

Understood! We'll give you our fingers as an apology!

Wait! Don't be hasty! Uh... You... bastard.

Huh? What is this?

What were you filming?

Eh?

This joker can't even film a decent prank.

Useless.

Wait a moment. Could it be?

Pranking the producer?

Fine. If it's for the show, I'll play along, you asshole!

It's my fault for not explaining properly! I'll apologize to the director general!

It's fine if I get fired!

Come on, stop me!

Hey, I'm going to call...

What?

Hurry up and tell me I've been pranked!

Their "comedy skit" continued for a while.

WAYOGAI #41 Giving Courage

Welcome!

It's you yakuza again. You'll scare the customers away!

Shut up, old man. Your place is always empty.

Is that right? Show me a little respect, huh?

You're cheerful as ever.

Barley shochu, please.

New segment! "Save Stores from Bankruptcy!"

This show has moved from 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.

Who will watch this?

This is our first ever "Almost Bankrupt Place!"

"Wayogai," an izakaya bar.

This place... Whatever.

It's been a while since we saw the cheerful old man.

Let's go inside.

Welcome.

Old man...

So gloomy!

Uh... "Wayogai" has been selected as our first "Almost Bankrupt Place."

Congratulations.

Is that a good thing?

Please don't be like that. Let's revive it with the GOKUDOLS!

I didn't ask for this.

What can these little girls do?

I've given up.

Why are you whining? You're men, aren't you?

Everyone makes mistakes.

You will grow stronger when you bounce back from those failures!

Old man...

Thank you for giving us courage!

OK! I'll give you a free bottle of Barley shochu!

Why are you whining, you shitty old man?

What the hell?

Hey, Aily, what's wrong with you?

You can't give up.

When did you become so weak?

Make this place a bar that lifts people's spirits again!

Trust your own skills!

Let the world taste your great miso-marinated fish liver!

What's that tough-guy bar snack?

Yes! You gave me courage!

I'll work hard once again!

Come here!

-Aily! -Old man!

OBVIOUSLY SCRIPTED

VIEWERS ARE NOT IDIOTS

IT'S ALL ACTING

IDOLS DON'T LIKE MISO-MARINATED FISH LIVER

DON'T FORCE YOUR DIRTY SCRIPT ON THE GOKUDOLS

CLOSED THANK YOU FOR 28 YEARS

How about Disneyland?

Isn't DisneySea better?

OK, DisneySea.

I can't wait.

How about hot springs for us?

Hot springs are nice! Which one?

This is not a social club!

Sorry. We forgot.

Are you really willing to do it?

It's the 47th meeting. What have you accomplished?

And we meet three times a week. Why do we have so many meetings?

Well, we don't have anything to do.

We thought we might as well have fun.

Fun?

Do you understand what "Victim Support Group" means?

What's with these decorations? Why hearts?

Is the disco ball necessary?

I asked if this is a damn social club!

What's wrong with that?

Listen to yourself, President!

Get a grip!

Have you forgotten what the GOKUDOLS did to you?

CLOSED THANK YOU FOR 84 YEARS

I'm sorry. I wasn't in my right mind.

I'll remind myself, and do this properly.

We forgot about those damn GOKUDOLS.

Bring down the GOKUDOLS.

Natsuko, I'm sorry!

It's fine. Let's do this properly.

I see. So, we're making a rival idol group?

Yes. Make a theater next to the GOKUDOLS'.

We'll crush them bit by bit.

This sounds very expensive.

Don't worry.

I have money.

I'll spend whatever it takes to make the best group!

Natsuko, you're so dependable!

We will do our best!

Concerning the audition, I can't let on that I'm involved,

so I'll leave it to you.

Three prerequisites: big breasts, slender body and motherhood.

My husband's fetish!

I get big breasts and slender body...

but motherhood?

Idols generally give the impression that they need to be protected.

We'll do the opposite and make that our strength.

It's foolproof.

Makes sense!

Who cares about sense or popularity?

I just want to trick my husband!

Once he's in my trap, I'll destroy him!

That's my true plan!

Hold on.

Why are we being controlled by a newbie?

I got scolded like a kid.

Well, she has the money and influence.

We did forget our true mission. We can't blame her.

I admit that we got sidetracked.

But my hatred for GOKUDOLS is greater than anyone's!
