Ayaka's Surprise English Lessons (アヤカのとつげき英会話; Ayaka no Totsugeki Eikaiwa) was a segment that first ran on the TV Tokyo show Bishoujo Kyouiku in 2001, then returned for Bishoujo Kyouiku II in 2002. It was hosted by Coconuts Musume member Ayaka Kimura who speaks fluently in both English and Japanese.
In the segment, Ayaka would wait backstage in TV Tokyo building to surprise members of Morning Musume with an English lesson, teaching them English phrases or testing their communication skills. She would say a phrase and they would attempt to repeat it back. Early on in the series she would surprise them again a couple months later with a test to see if they remembered their phrases. Later she would entice them with games, treats and rewards (usually something to eat).
There are 206 lessons in total, with a combined length of 6 hours, 25 minutes and 33 seconds. Each lasting a minute or two.
