So far challenges have included Rubix's Cube solving, Free Climbing and ballroom dancing. Out of five challenges Morning Musume have scored 0 wins, 4 loses and 1 draw! But that's going to change today. Not necessarily with a win with this record, but you never know..!

Today it's bowling. The little bowling expert is Kazuma Iijima, as seen on the last H!M bowling special at the beginning of the year, who hardly ever smiles. As we know he's been bowling since he was two and has won loads of competitions. That's LOADS with a capital L-O-A-D-S... Uh-huh. K, maybe not that many.

To give the girls a chance they get some tips from an older expert.

The first scenario is where it looks like there's only one pin still standing, but there's actually another right behind it. This is a ghost, as you can't see it behind but it's there.
Kazuma shows us how to knock them both down.

The next scenario is the Lily. This is where there are three pins with big gaps in between them. Apparently it's like the way the lily spreads out.
Surely it's impossible to knock all three down? Nope! Kazuma, do yo' thang.

To see what they can do, the girls bowl one ball each to start with.
Reina is the only one who gets any down.

The instructor says if you aim to bowl the ball between the 2nd and 3rd arrow from the right then you'll have more luck.
They try another bowl. He's right!

Challenge time. It's MM vs Kazuma.
The girls gets five bowls (a different member each time) and Kazuma gets five too. To get a point the girls have to knock down at least 5 pins, but for Kazuma to get a point he has to get a strike. Whoever has the most points at the end wins.

Round one: Ai – O, Kazuma - X.
Round two: Reina - O, Kazuma - X.
Round three: Koharu - X, Kazuma - O.
Round four: Aika - X, Kazuma - O.
Round five: Sayu - O, Kazuma - O.

Meaning, dun dun duuuuuun: Sudden death!
Round six: Ai – X, Kazuma – O.
MM lose, Kazuma wins!
