Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? – Episode 11 – New Year’s and Zina’s Audition Rematch

It’s finally the new year. With that, the girls go to a shrine that is on the top of a big hill.

At last, the new year nears as the girls goes to the shrine. It will become obvious why Akemi picked the shrine they plan to go to. As expected, it has a lot of stairs, which the girls use to make a good exercise session. I find it funny how Hibiki is completely exhausted after making it to the top.

As expected, the people who were there is a bunch of macho men. The surprising thing is that Machio is working as a priest there. This can explain why Akemi decided on going to that shrine. It’s because of her muscle obsession. At least the girls had a great view of the sun rise of the first day in the new year.

After looking at the sun rise, the girls ate some fried squid. Afterwards, they decide to do some exercises to burn off the holiday fat. Since the gym is closed, they decide to do it at a park. When they went there, there is hardly any playground equipment. Apparently, Zina finds out the harsh state of Japan’s parks. As you would expect, Akemi reaches her dictionary of exercises and do them in a park. The funny thing is that people were looking at them suspiciously. In other words, parks are not an option. Fortunately, Zina has a good idea.

Zina decides to do another an audition after the idol one failed miserably. They appear on a talent show to show off the wrestler’s bridge exercise. After Satomi did it while wearing a mask, Ayaka sits on her, the audience became excited. In other words, it shot up the TV ratings, which the director wanted. It’s quite obvious that Zina wants to make up for that big lost from the auditions. Did they make it? The answer is an astounding yes!

As expected, the director received a reward from the president. The funny thing is that 20 to 34-year-old women was the biggest audience. It’s not too surprising since that demographic is looking to stay fit or lose weight. Now, the Silverman Gym wants the director to air an event consisting of macho men. As expected, it’s an offer that he cannot refuse, which makes me wonder what is this event about? We’ll find out in the last episode. ¶
