It's been recently announced that eight members of AKB48 will reveal their faces without makeup on their TV show titled "AKB48 Nemousu TV Season 4" (on CS Family Gekijyou). In the show, the members will stay up all night and battle in a ?Sleepiness Endurance Race? at a Japanese onsen, which are natural hot springs. The girls have to remain awake from 1:00AM to 7:00AM and whoever stays awake until the end wins the battle.

During the battle, the host of the show, comedian, Ogiyahagi Ogi will provide member messages, nice music, and other things to make them fall asleep. ?Sleepiness Endurance Race? will be aired in two sets, the first half will be aired on 8/1/10 (Sun) and the second half will air the following week on 8/8/10 (Sun).

Across the Japanese blogosphere, by viewing press released photos netizens are discussing how it's so hard to recognize the members without makeup. The eight girls in the show will be: Asamoto Sayaka, Sakai Tomomi, Kobayashi Kana, Satou Amina, Hirajima Natsumi, Masuda Yuka, Miyazawa Sae, and Yonezawa Rumi.

Stay tuned on August 1st!
