Small clip of the press event:
AKB48 マジすか学園 制作発表 前田敦子 篠田麻里子 小嶋陽菜 大島優子Based on this, I'd have to say the article that the
translation Masa linked earlier may have been incorrect. I took a look at the
original article and, comparing its content to the vid, AkiP's comment was noted down completely wrong. I then looked around at other newspaper sites and found that
MainichiJP seems to have the quote from the clip, which makes wonder the credibility of the original (NikkanSports) article.
...For those who have no idea what I'm talking about:
Basically, near the end of the clip, AkiP jokes that he thinks there's probably an ex-yankii within the chosen members and in order not to reveal her past, the ex-yankii would purposefully act badly. Conversely, that person would be the ex-yankii.
He never makes his statement a certainty; always adding "I think" or "possibly" and other adjectives/adverbs that would make his statement have some uncertainty. And so, I'm pretty convinced that it was all just a joke on AkiP's part.
...Am I over-analyzing this?
Sidenote: Acchan looks rather tired in this clip. Possibly for her character?
