It’s been a few weeks since this event but I will try my best!

Main Plot (yes there was a story!)

So we have this school, which is a normal mixed school but for some reason only boys are in it. So naturally, they are super surprised when a girl (Oribe crossdressing) shows up. So in order to win her leave they go through a series of challenges and each time she choses who does the best until there is only one winner at the end. But throughout the event we have monologue moments of Oribe talking about a secret and what if they find out.

The types of challenges were:

*Singing - Gingadan Live, Twin Paradox Live *Fast Eating *Strength/Stamina *Marshmellow Catching (via their mouths) *Dancing *Mune-Kyun

If I remember anymore, I shall add them below. But I shall go in order member because I think that will job my memory better.

Itokawa Yojiro: Writing this part of the review actually cracked me up because while he's basically the MAIN and the LEADER of BanchoBoys, I legit only remember ONE part that he was in and it was right at the beginning of the show where they've all gathered in the homeroom and the teach comes in and introduces the new transfer student. Yojiro gets really confident that he'll get the girl and every time he tries to talk to her, one of the boys would smack him down into his desk and there was a mic right under the desk so every time it vibrated HARD. And they also ended up slapping him as well as thrusting him down and they were not soft at all. The rest of the guys were cracking up at how hard Yojiro was getting shoved down and couldn't contain their laughter for Yojiro who I think definitely went away with a bruise or 4 just from that scene alone! Even Oribe was cracking up and tried to keep it together but all-so-slowly made his way to his desk so they could keep bullying Yojiro xD

Oosumi Yuuta: This was my first time getting to know Yuta personality-wise (I had completely unacknowledged that fact he's Yagyuu in Tenimyu until after this event) and I will say beforehand, the only impressive I had of him was 'OMG CUT THAT MOP OF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD!' cos I cannot stand his hairstyle xD BUT I will say, I thoroughly enjoyed him and getting to know him. He is SO funny. I think his comedic and sarcastic timing is perfect and rather than making the jokes to or with the guys, he always aimed it and spoke to the audience and wanted our reactions and whether we agreed or not which I totally appreciated! I remember he was particularly funny during the eating contest just because of how hopeless he was and he just like turned to the audience in defeat for most of it. I definitely want to get to know him more.

Kajihara Hayate: Everyone knows him as the Saikyou Sports Danshi (Strongest Sports Boy) and as the muscle member xD of course he put that to use when they did the stamina challenge and of course it was somewhat easy peesy for him. They had to balance two cups on their hands and a bucket on their head and through the challenge, the other members might as dice or something to the cups. And they had to do it while in a Chinese/Kung Fu crouching position. Unfortuantely during this challenge, they had used KanameChan (shhh KanameChan is staying!) as the practise/example person so he very quickly collapse before the real competition even began! Even though Hayate won the stamina competition, Oribe ended up picking Dao as the winner in the end.

Kihara Rui: I....... don't remember him in this.... damn.... I remember he and the rest of GingaDan sang their new Song BURN which I loved immediately! Watch the PV HERE and LOVE. IT. Okay! I am so sorry Rui.... BUT I do remember Ginga explaining where we can listen to their music and literally NONE of the fans said they knew what Spotify was which really surprised me because it’s such a predominant platform for British and Americans when it comes to music.

Shimura Sadao: It was my first time seeing Dao in the flesh and I've always found him a pretty and sweet boy but he just cracked me up during this event because he's so self aware of what he can do. He literally introduced himself as 'the puppy' and did little 'wan' barks and the girls were like 'ahhh kawaii/so cute!!' xD but I ain't mad, he's adorable as fuck! And he's really nice << at least what I've seen so far.

Sunahara Kensuke: I was super surprised he wasn't playing the teacher but Momiki was! Sunahara did a duet cover with Yojiro; Yojiro was the vocals while Sunahara was the guitarist and he plays super well - which I always knew. The moment that stands out with him was during the MarshMellow challenge -- by the way guys, they were all so effing hopeless except Dao! -- because he couldn't catch his own marshmellow with him mouth but then with someone else's marshmellow he so flawlessly caught it which his hand SO fast xD

Tanaka Riku: I think Riku mentioned this was his first event with the boys (or that it'd been his first time with so many members from BB.). The moment that stood out of him for me was during the Eating Challenge and (I think) he was in charge of pouring milk for everyone but because the teacher, Momiki, was involved, he gave Momiki the SMALLEST amount of milk and Momiki is like 'WHY DO I HAVE SO MUCH LESS?!' and Momiki replied 'you're a grown adult! You don't need it! We're still school kids!!' so they refused to give him any more milk for the entirety of the challenge.

Chiwata Yuhei: THIS BOI!!!! Holy moly... I remember back in the Christmas Event for BB that I was just suddenly head over heels with Yuhei because of how pretty he is and holy moly, this time I got hit even worse! He's so DAMN pretty! I cannot contain around him! I cannot. He's so dang cute and his dancing is amazing!!! If only his voice... let's not shit on that xD we ALL know what I mean. I just could not take my eyes of him whenever he was on stage and I think this time at the Send Off (Miokuri) he was right at the end and I was just a wreck inside... guys.... this boy shouldn't breathe the same air as me! I don't want to contaminate his gorgeous looks! But yeah during the dance challenge I was absolutely mesmerised by his dancing and he's so damn/dang good (seriously just take shots for the amount of times I say damn or dang here) at dancing!! I think I'll crumble the next time I see him... ALSO Yuhei can eat like human vacuum! He ate his bread in the Eating Challenge so damn quickly! So much so that people like Domoto and Riku were secretly putting part of their bread onto his plate and Yuhei always complained but he kept eating what he was given so in the end, even though he ended up eating like 2 whole sandwiches, he was STILL the fastest eater and finished way before everyone else! In fact, he was so fast, the judges (who were Kaname and Oribe I think) kept telling Yuhei they could still see residue of milk or crumbs from the bread in his mouth, so they'd reject him xD but in the end he still beat everyone! He's very much my uncle << my uncle will just eat everything off everyone else's plates if they can't eat anymore. Yuhei would be helpful for me at restaurants xD but of course Yuhei was pissed after ALL that work Oribe chose Domoto as the champion at the end xD

Domoto Shohei: Ahhhhh Domoto! This awkward bundle of love! I felt so sorry for him in this because he had to do the Eating Challenge and THEN straight after was the MarshMellow challenge! He was totally dying during the Eating Challenge and was like 'WHY are we using croquette sandwiches for this challenge?! It's too much!' there was also a mention that this was NOT what they used during rehearsals xD Domoto was such a slow eater, it was adorable << I'm weird, we know this... while he suffered, he did win Oribe's choice of winner because 'he was suffering so he obviously tried his best. I think I like guys who try their best!' which is a running reason as to why Oribe picks the members who impressed 'her' the most xD And then when he moved onto the Marshmellow challenge, you could just see the defeat in his eyes of 'I physically cannot deal with this right now' and he was rubbing his stomnach for ages like he was WAY too full. I could just feel him getting a massive carb and food coma during these two challenges. I felt so sorry for him! And I think Oribe could tell too which is why he purposely gave Domoto the worst marshmellow throw so it was impossible for Domoto to catch it so he coud stand out of the competition quickly. And then during the Send Off he so naturally just uses 'thank you' now to me and my friend which is really sweet of him. SPEAKING OF SWEET, I'll eventually translate his latest blog because it just got me in the feels so hard.

Nishihara Kenta: I may be getting his character mixed up between this one and CROWS but... wasn't he a geek in this?!

Futaba Kaname and YuuKun: Poor Kaname was used at the example for the Stamina challenge so he was out pretty much straight away but he stayed around his brother to partially support and partially torture him xD but his brother was not the real or chosen winner at the end. BUT towards the beginning of the show, we did had a TwinParadox performance from them (they sang Love Dynamite). Before this, the twins were had their hands against each other (back-to-back) and were like 'go on say it.... say it... do you like Oriko?... well sorry but, I like her too... we'll see which Twin can win her heart!' and in the end Oribe chose YuuKun, after saying she chose 'Futaba' and they were like 'which one?!', as the better twin xD you could tell that scene was just to kill the fangirls with the whole brotherly love and rivalry. I think they also got really up and close with each other while they were fighting over Oriko/Oribe too and of course some of the fans were squealing externally xD

Kikuchi Shuuji, Yashiro Takuya, Matsumoto Taishi: I don't remember these guys in this at all. I am so sorry! >.< there's too many boys okay! I can give them ALL my attention! xD

Momiki Yoshito: Ahhh this man!! I actually genuinely really like this guy! He's always just below like my top 5 Bancho Boys. I switch between him and Sunahara a lot << both are quite similar in terms of looks and the types of characters they choose to play but personalities are completely different. He played the goddamn teacher at this event and he was just the WORST teacher ever! He even got involved in some of the challenges and everyone is like 'you're the teacher! You shouldn't be doing this!' and he's like 'BUT I LIKE ORIBE TOO! I should be allowed to compete!' and they're like 'she's 10 years younger than you and a high school student! Isn't this illegal teacher?!' which was hilarious. I also love when he gets mad and when he starts yelling, he's so good at it!! He looks a lot more ikemen when his hair is short too and he's not pulling an angry face xD I don't think I've ever seen him do a non-angry and a smiley role... I'd like to! Btw, just watch this Bancho Video of him!

Yasui Kazuma: there is literally no difference between Kazuma and Kazuma playing Wataru in EnStage. Both are so freaking eccentric! Except that you can tell how sweet Kazuma is. I noticed he'd look over to many places where he knew his fans were and he'd like sing towards them and give them a lot of attention which is really nice of him.

Oribe Yoshinari: OMG when he walked out in that damn girls uniform! I just died. He's pretty much the tallest guy so it created a LOT of running jokes like 'I can't choose someone small!' and such. But he did a girl very well! And throughout the story he had monologues which hints to him having this secret (I'll get to it later). But obviously, he became the center of a lot of the comedy, either through his character and what he says or just because he was being teased because of the girly (or not so girly) things he did xD One moment that made me laugh was when after the BURN performance, he went off to get changed and when he came back (as the girl) he was like 'where's the other member? Awww... he was exactly my type' xD

Sawada Yu: He won the GingaDan Performance competition! At the very end of the show, all the boys Oribe had chosen had to do a Mune-Kun line and she was like 'Let's start with Yuu!' but both Yuu's (Sawadu Yu and Futaba Yu) were on either end of the line of boys that both of them thought Oribe had meant them and it took Oribe a while to figure out what had happened -- after the girls started laughing -- and was like 'Sorry Yu! I mean Futaba Yuu!' xD

Chikahisa Taisei: He's pretty and my friend is proud that I think he's pretty. The Ginga boys had some time after their performance of BURN (seriously, go watch and listen!) so Oribe could run backstage and get changed back into a girl. So Taisei wanted to talk about the PV making and how they shot on a HeliPad and about part way through their filming an actually helicopter came to land and they were so fascinated by it!
