AISubs v3.5
Now, the first round of the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round has begun!
We will broadcast it live from TBSG Studio!
Yes, I, Yusuke Awaga, will be leading this time. Thank you for your support!
And...
I'm Hiroyuki Aoki, also known as Aoki-ko of Koubunsha.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Aoki.
I'm not working for Koubunsha anymore, but I've been working on Platinum Flash and I'm also working on my graduation pamphlet.
Thank you for your support!
You're the first one to advertise.
Just in case...
Just in case, I'm a salaryman.
Mr. Aoki of Koubunsha.
Thank you for your support!
So, this is the first time for AKB48 Group,
who has the most attractive singing voice?
AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Match will be held.
This live broadcast will show you who will advance to the final match.
By the way, Mr. Aoki...
Yes?
What are the highlights of this event?
AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Match is held.
Yes, it is!
It's a rock-paper-scissors competition.
Yes, it is.
A rock-paper-scissors competition is an event where you win with your fans.
A rock-paper-scissors competition is an event where you entrust yourself to luck.
This Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Match will be held alone.
So, you will win by yourself.
I see.
I'm looking forward to it.
You will win by yourself.
Yes.
We usually work as a group.
So, it will be a lonely battle.
But I think you can see various facial expressions.
Thank you.
Now, I would like to introduce the judges who will be in charge of judging this time.
First of all, Mr. Inoue Yoshimasa, who composed and composed many songs for AKB48 Group.
Hello.
Good evening.
Nice to meet you.
Mr. Aoki, you were promoting it from the beginning.
No, I'm recruiting members.
Members?
It's quite related to this project.
The first time I participated in AKB48 was nine or ten years ago.
At that time, there were many good people who quit without becoming a center.
I would like you to audition for such people.
I'm a producer.
Yes, I'm Inoue Yoshimasa.
I don't know what you're talking about.
The word "center" means "graduates" and "centers" means "stars".
It means that you will shine even more after you quit.
That's a good thing.
But I think there were members who quit a little earlier and lived.
I see.
I would like you to judge accurately and stay in this group for a long time.
If you look at it with your fingers, it ends on February 31, 2018.
It's over.
It's hidden.
It's okay.
It's already over.
We will close it next January.
If you are an idol who is watching this, please apply for it.
Today we will judge active members.
We will judge active members.
We will judge from corner to corner.
We will check everything from the lights.
But I think the same part will play all the time.
I don't care about that part.
I only care about your singing ability.
I don't care about camera angles.
I don't care about that part.
I will check your singing ability.
Thank you for your cooperation.
He is a music producer who has worked with many famous artists.
He is Tomoji Sogawa.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I have nothing to say.
Why do you wear a pendant?
I made it yesterday.
What kind of work do you usually do?
I do a lot of things.
I don't only produce music.
I also do my own work.
I will play your song "YAKAI" next year.
"YAKAI"...
I want to see it.
Please.
Thank you for your cooperation.
He is a keyboardist who also participates in "COSPERAZ" tour.
He is Yudai Sato.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Are you a keyboardist?
Yes, I am.
I often play the keyboard.
I didn't know you were playing it.
I didn't play it.
I didn't.
I didn't know you were playing it.
I played it with piano.
You played it with piano.
I play it with a singer.
Can I say it?
Yes, you can.
You have to work hard.
I often play the keyboard with a singer and two people.
From that perspective, I was looking forward to today's match.
- Thank you for coming. - Thank you for having me.
By the way, Yoshino-san, what did you think of this match?
As I said earlier, fans don't get a chance to hear each singer's song.
- That's right. - I'm the host of this show.
- It's a very rare opportunity. - That's right.
There are always a lot of people.
I also mix some songs.
I was thinking about who I should raise or lower my voice.
I was thinking about it for about 30 seconds.
- That's a lot of time. - That's a lot of time.
- I was thinking about it for about 30 minutes. - That's a lot of time.
I was thinking about it for about 30 minutes.
I was thinking about what the fans would think of me.
Do you record by yourself?
- Of course, I record by myself. - That's right.
Sometimes, three people record at the same time in a different room.
I'm looking forward to hearing my favorite song alone.
I won't sleep at night. I'll sleep a lot during the day.
You just turned it over in the middle of the night, didn't you?
- Do you know me? - Yes.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
I'm sure the fans are looking forward to it.
I'd like to start the judging right away.
The members of the AKB48 group participating in this preliminary round are...
155 members who have chosen themselves.
And there are about 20 members who will advance to the final tournament.
20 members...
- It's tough. - I'm not sure what will happen.
- About 10%. - That's right.
Today, we will judge 70 members of NMB48, HKT48, NGT48, and STU48.
Tomorrow's live broadcast will judge AKB48, STU48, and 85 members.
And each of the three judges will be judged with 100 points.
Each member will be judged with 300 points.
Based on this rating, 20 members will advance to the final tournament today and 20 members will advance to the final tournament tomorrow.
And 15 members will advance to the final tournament unconditionally for two days.
And about five more members will advance to the final tournament for two days out of 20 members.
- That's the rule. - It's a strict rule.
Yes, thank you for your understanding.
- So... - It's tough.
- 100 points is a lot of points. - Yes.
What criteria do you use for judging?
First of all, I'd like you to ask me.
But I'd like you to ask me about my voice.
What kind of voice do you have?
I'd like you to ask me if I'm cute or not.
- I'd like you to ask me if I'm cute or not. - I see.
- That's what impresses me.
- How about you, Sato? - Well...
I haven't asked you yet, so I'd like you to ask me.
But I'd like you to tell me about my voice.
And of course, I'd like you to tell me about my pitch.
But I'd like you to tell me about my atmosphere and what I'm saying.
- I'd like you to tell me about your expression. - That's right.
I'd like you to judge me in detail.
In addition, the final tournament will be held at Akasaka Act Theatre on January 11th next year.
The finalist will sing with a full band.
- That's a big choice. - I know, right?
- Could you tell me about it? - I'd like you to tell me about my voice.
- I'd like you to tell me about my atmosphere and what I'm saying. - I see.
- I'd like you to tell me about my pitch. - I see.
I suddenly feel like I'm working.
- I'd like you to tell me about my pitch. - I see.
In addition, the winner will receive a solo song produced by Yasushi Akimoto.
- Wow! - That's amazing!
- I think it's a dream come true. - I know, right?
- That's right. - Until now, only a handful of people have given me solo songs like Kashiwagi - san, Mayu-san, Sassy-san, and Nana-chan-san.
- Like Yamamoto-san. - That's right.
- But I haven't received a solo song yet, so I'm very happy about it. - I see.
All of you are very excited about it.
- Who will get this chance? - Everyone, you have a huge responsibility.
If you're a good judge, would you like to play a song for us?
- I don't need it. - I don't need it.
- Wouldn't you be happy about it? - I'd be happy about it, but...
- If you're happy about it... - Yes.
- wouldn't you be happy about it? - I'm always looking for a job.
- Because you already got one. - No, I don't know if I'll get one next year.
- Really? - Yes, yes.
- I'm looking forward to it. - Okay, so...
- Yes. - Yes.
I'd like you to start judging now.
First of all, the judges have chosen their candidates by lottery.
Let's start the preliminary judging.
We'll start with NMB48.
Here you go.
I'm Hori Shion of NMB48.
What do you wish for? Tell me softly.
Even if you can't call this love "eternal",
just for now, tell me a lie and make me believe it with weak words.
If the song of love resounds, light will shine in the gray night sky.
Let's connect the light one by one and deliver it to you in the distance.
I feel like I can go back to tomorrow like I always do.
I looked up at the sky and said goodbye.
Tonight, I'm falling into a dream again.
Thank you very much.
I'm NMB48's Hongizer. Thank you for having me.
Even if ideal reality turns into one-click light speed,
I can't be Adam and Eve at a distance farther than Earth's light.
If I follow the birthplace of sadness and gently touch its wound,
my overflowing feelings will illuminate you and become light.
Even if I'm not there in the future you picture,
I'll gently hold you now.
Even if it's fate, I want it to draw me closer and continue to shine.
Even if it's a miracle, I want to believe that it can happen.
I believed.
Thank you very much.
I'm Mita Mao of NMB48. Thank you for having me.
I'm getting melancholic, your face is disappearing
Your voice is far away, far away
I wonder if you're somewhere in this sky
At the end of summer, we escaped together
In this park, we found that constellation
Somehow I remember it
Even if we can't meet, I'll follow my memories
I want to see the same happiness
With that scent, fireworks pop and open
I want to go to you
I want to run and go right now
It's pitch black and I can't see anything
Even if I'm scared, it's okay
The countless starry skies are still here
I won't cry, because it's the beautiful sky I saw with you in the past
Thank you very much!
I'm Yamao Rina of NMB48. Thank you for having me!
It's not because of what you said
I believe
On my way home, my breath is getting colder
Only the stars are swaying
I'm about to forget even the faint warmth
I'm about to forget even falling in love
I realized it for the first time
I was the one who cried
The constellations of winter that were connected
I was staring at it so it wouldn't disappear from the sky
I believe
I'm Yuka Kato from NMB48.
♪ You whispered to me. ♪
♪ I can still do it. ♪
♪ Because you always shine brightly for me. ♪
Sometimes I'm in too much of a hurry and I lose sight of you.
It can't be helped, because you always watch over me with a smile.
I'm sure I've been saved many times by your smile, which I hold in my arms more than usual.
Thank you, thank you.
Best friend.
♪
Always, always, always.
Best friend.
Thank you very much.
♪
I'm Kaoka Michihiro of NMB48. Thank you for having me.
♪
I push up the sky and reach out my hand for you in May.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you a flower bud, a garden flower swimsuit.
Your cute light purple eyes.
I hope your endless dream will come to an end.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day bind me and my endless tears will end properly.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kawakami Rena of NMB48.
I always wanted to be with you, laughing next to you.
Even though seasons change again,
my heart remains still.
On the right side where you're not there,
I thought I had gotten used to it a little.
Why do I cry so much?
If my feelings won't come true anymore,
I just want the courage to forget you.
Even now, I still remember you.
Even the scenery is "so once again".
Ah, I woke up from a dream.
A black jacket and my back
I can't see anyone anymore, "so once again".
Like the stars returning to the forest,
they disappear naturally.
Even the smallest gestures,
I can only see you forever.
"so once again".
Thank you very much.
I'm NMV48 Shiro Mamiru. Nice to meet you.
We were together all the time, walking down the same path.
We part ways and walk our own separate paths.
Holding my heart full of loneliness,
I look up at the sky and feel like I'm about to cry.
I think of you and say, "Ah, ah, ahoy."
Even on nights without you,
I don't even cry at night.
"Because you're working hard," I say.
"Because you're getting stronger," I say.
I'm sure you can see it too.
This crescent moon seems like it's about to disappear.
"Because we're connected," I say.
"Because I love you," I say.
I reached out to the crescent moon.
I hope my feelings reach you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Nmb48 Nishizawa Rurina. Nice to meet you.
The snow started to fall, erasing my footprints.
In this pure white world, I'm all alone.
The wind whispers in my heart,
that I can't go on like this.
I was confused and hurt. I couldn't tell anyone about it.
I was worried about it, but I shouldn't do it anymore.
I'll show you who I really am.
I'll become who I really am.
I'm not afraid of anything.
Blow the wind, it's not cold at all.
It's like a lie that I was worried about.
Because I'm free now, I can do anything.
I want to try myself and see how far I can go.
That's right, I'm going to change.
As it is, I'll ride the wind to the sky.
As it is, I'll try to fly away.
I will never shed tears again.
It's not cold at all.
I'm Yui and I'm Suzu Yamada. Thank you.
Thank you for choosing me like this on this journey
Before you use me, please read this instruction manual carefully
Treat me with fun and kindness, okay?
I won't accept changes or exchanges for bad things
Please understand
Sometimes you suddenly lose your temper
Even if I ask you why, you don't answer and get angry
I'm sorry all the time, but in that case
Let's go out somewhere
If you praise me regularly, I'll last a long time
If you say my nails are pretty, let me notice even small changes
Please keep an eye on me
But you don't have to notice anything unnecessary like my bed
If we look into each other's eyes when we get a little older
Please remember the day we first met
Please continue to take care of me
I'm like this, but please smile and forgive me
Please treasure me forever
Because I'm a guarantee of eternity
I'm NMB48's Akashi Natsuko. Thank you for having me!
How are you?
Did you meet someone important?
Will your dream come true someday?
At the end of this road
Do you remember?
The dream of the swaying leaves
I kept searching for the sky that continues along the horizon
While struggling to draw tomorrow
Now, into my dream
The shapeless radiance
Gently, gently
Embracing it, I move forward
Thank you very much!
I'm Shimizurika, from NMB48. Nice to meet you!
Hikaru ase T-shirt Deatta koi
Dareyorimo kagayaku kimi wo mite

Futari no mirai wo kasanete miru no
My heart is full of scabs that I can't remove
Your kindness fills me up
Before I knew it, my dark heart was filled.
A casual gesture at a random moment
Someday, I'll always see your face as you talk about your dreams.
I want to stare at you, I want to smile at you
Words transcend the present and pierce eternity.
The place we arrived at after passing through many seasons
Let's cultivate the love we swore after a journey that was too long
Thank you very much!
I'm Nmb48's Kao Nanaho. Nice to meet you!
Your story, which is about to begin, will go on for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
Behind your dazzling smile, I hear a sad sound.
We were together, and now we're apart. I love you so much.
If we hold hands, we'll be warm. If we hate each other, we'll be alone.
Each and every one of them will be your path, and it will go on.
Your story, which is about to begin, will go on for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
Thank you very much!
I'm NMB48 Sakamoto Nami. Nice to meet you!
I'm sorry for hitting you
I couldn't help it because you were so dear to me
Hey, I'm sorry for crying
I wanted to see your troubled face
And then, your back is far away
At last I realize that I'm a fool
Even if time stops and I shake my head, I can still walk
On my own path
Even now, I still love you
I'm sorry for hitting you
I couldn't help it because you were so dear to me
I call out to you
Even if it's just once or twice, I've never found it
I stretch out my little arms and legs
To see your poor smile
Thank you very much!
I'm NMB48 Sato Ami. Nice to meet you!
Because I want to fill my heart with traps, I pretended to be kind and laughed
Meeting and parting are busy, I'm going to run over my shoulder
It's a waste because I understand myself so much that I'm frustrated
I can't be strong enough, so I just closed my eyes and endured
I can see it now
I want to go home to the city you are waiting for
If you could wave goodbye to me
There's something I want you to listen to while you wait for me at home
I'd be happy if you could smile for me
Thank you very much.
I'm Yamasaki Amir of NMB48. Thank you for having me.
These feelings I've gathered up until the last second
The days that have piled up
Won't betray you
The dazzling sunlight
Will turn into a sunset
Illuminating a youthful time that will never come again
Illuminating
Chasing a dream straight ahead
I love your eyes
Being with you like that
I want to cherish it now
Tears and smiles
Are proof of how reckless I've become
Being with you like that
I'm proud of it
I'll always be proud of you
Thank you very much!
I'm NMB48 Ogawa Yuka.
Thank you for having me.
I'm NMB48 Ogawa Yuka.
Thank you for having me.
It started with "good morning" from you.
It's a casual feeling summer morning.
But it's also happy.
In a casual conversation,
I get burned by your casual words.
It's boring on rainy days.
Studying for tests is dangerous.
Only I know about it.
Before I go to bed, it continues meaninglessly.
I can't always hang up on a long call.
So let's say it together.
Since when?
The gap between you and me is getting bigger.
Hey, feelings are always like that.
I keep thinking about you all the time.
What should I do from now on?
Because I'm thinking about you.
What are you like?
I want you to tell me.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kobayashi Rina of NMB48. Nice to meet you.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, and a big hope I won't forget.
I believe we'll meet again in August ten years from now.
The best memories.
We met by chance at the intersection on the way home.
You called me out. "Let's go home together."
I was embarrassed and hid my face in my bag.
Actually, I was very, very happy.
Ah, the fireworks bloom beautifully in the night sky and it's a little sad.
Ah, the wind flows with time.
I was happy and had fun, and we did a lot of adventures in our secret base.
I hope you and I will meet again in August, ten years from now, at the end of summer, in our dreams of the future, and we won't forget our big hope.
I knew you were shouting "thank you" from the bottom of your heart until the end.
It's painful to say goodbye with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face, isn't it?
The best memories...
Thank you very much!
I'm Shobu Marin of NMB48. Thank you very much!
Children are heading for the sky, spreading out their hands.
Birds and clouds and even dreams, they are trying to grasp.
That figure is me, who doesn't know anything about yesterday.
I believed you could reach me with these fingers.
Sky and earth are touching each other.
A journey from the past, a four-year road.
To you, I'm just a passer-by.
I turned around for a moment and saw a stranger.
A stranger holding sadness in his hands.
Thank you very much!
I'm Momoka Horinouchi of NMB48. Nice to meet you!
Do you remember the day we first met? Do you remember the day we first met?
Don't forget the memories of the passing days.
I wanted to feel everything you looked at
Looking up at the sky, are you watching over me now?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me. Tell me, tell me Teach me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me Teach me, tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me. Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me.
Thank you very much!
So, the singing ability No. 1 final round of the AKB48 group singing ability No. 1 final round of the AKB48 group singing ability No. 1 final round of the first NMB48 members, 20 singing judges have just finished.
So, first of all, Mr. Aoki, how did you like it?
Well, it was really high level and wonderful.
I was a little moved and almost cried.
I felt like Sayanenism was born in a place like this.
Also, there were a lot of voices on Twitter that said it was quite fresh.
I often see people singing in NMB costumes.
Everyone was singing in their own clothes according to the song.
The feeling is completely different from usual.
For example, Shion Mori is usually a very fun person, but she sang very moistly.
I really enjoyed this gap.
So, first of all, 20 singing judges have just finished judging.
How did you like it, Mr. Yoshimasa?
I was so nervous that I couldn't speak.
Also, depending on the order of judging, the impression of the person in front of you will change a little.
I wanted the person in front of me to make a difference a little more.
Well, it's difficult.
I did it for each team like this.
But what I think is that there are people with good voices as solo singers.
When you're in a group and you're all together, you might get buried.
When I hear that in a solo band, I feel like a little husky and low-pitched girl who might have been buried in a group is now revived.
That's right.
You're telling me you want me to graduate.
No, I'm not announcing it.
Why are you trying to graduate?
But I found a girl who could sing solo.
Can you do it?
I'm sure there are people who can sing solo.
But you're a solo singer, Mr. Shiroma, aren't you?
But you have a voice that can be heard in a group.
Ms. Akashi.
I told you at the time.
You said you wanted me to graduate.
Let's go to the scouts.
We can't say it now.
It's an act.
How was it, Mr. Somer?
Well, it's the same with "keen star".
Each of them has different good points.
For example, good pitch.
Good voice with microphone.
I don't know why, but it's convincing.
Good breath timing.
Each of them has different good points.
I couldn't judge them in the same order.
Mr. Somer didn't say anything during the judging.
Usually, Mr. Yoshimatsu was talking.
I was doing it seriously.
Mr. Somer said it's difficult to make it into numbers.
It's difficult to say how good each of them is.
How was it, Mr. Sato?
Mr. Somer, did you have any members you were interested in?
Members I was interested in?
Well...
I don't think it's personal.
Everyone has their own preferences, right?
He took it away from me, but I didn't take it.
Oh, you didn't take it!
Shizako, you're being judged!
You get points for everything you say.
That's right.
But there are games, too.
Well...
I'll say it again and again.
I'll remember it.
Sato-san.
That's right.
As you two said, it depends on which criteria you judge.
Even if you don't sing the pitch properly,
you can still convey the song.
I think it's very difficult to judge.
And I think it's probably because you're playing the original song.
I'm sure it's difficult to set up the key.
And you're singing in that key.
I think it's a shame that the key of the song is a little higher.
Maybe it's because the song doesn't match with him.
That's right. I can feel that.
By the way, were there any members you were interested in?
Well...
Yamao, Rina-san...
I was interested in their worldview.
Their voices, too.
I think it was quite interesting.
I think it was good.
Thank you very much.
So...
The judging of "NMB" is over.
I'm sure the members themselves are also interested in the judging pattern.
For those members, please tweet "#akb48 singing talent number one deciding match"
for this live broadcast and live streaming.
Thank you very much.
While watching the broadcast...
That's right. Even if you can't watch the show, you can check it on Twitter.
I think there are members like that.
I'm sure there are members who are checking it on Twitter.
The members are watching this hashtag, too.
There are people who have detailed scores.
83 points, 78 points...
That's amazing.
Please do it as you like.
Now...
Let's move on to the next preliminary judging.
The next preliminary judging is...
"stu48".
Here you go.
I'm Imomura Mitsuki of stu48.
Thank you for your support.
We're starting to pass each other.
More and more.
There's something I want to say at the end.
I couldn't put it into words.
I'm glad I fell in love.
That's what I thought for the first time.
The dream I had that day is now disappearing in the rain.
I'm glad I fell in love.
Even if you're sad, don't stumble and walk.
I want to believe it.
I'm glad I fell in love.
Even if I encounter loneliness,
Because each and every one of my memories are alive.
Estee Lauterto's "Autumn, Marina." Thank you for listening.
We were together all the time, and we walked this path together.
We part ways and walk our own separate paths.
Holding my heart full of loneliness,
I look up at the sky and feel like I'm about to cry,
and I think of you.
Even on nights without you,
I can't cry anymore.
Because you're doing your best.
Because you're getting stronger.
You're probably watching, too.
Because we're connected by this miracle.
Because we love each other.
I reached out to the crescent moon.
I want you to know how I feel.
Because you're doing your best.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kada Akimura of stu48.
Thank you for your support.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
No matter how many years pass, I won't hold your hand.
I will follow you.
I want to follow you.
I will follow you.
I'm a little weak-minded, but I'm a wonderful person.
A red sweet pea bloomed in my heart.
I like you more than anyone I've met today.
I will follow you.
I like the way you live.
I can't go home like this.
I can't go home.
The day when spring comes to my heart is a red sweet pea.
Thank you very much!
I'm S.T. 48's Sana Haruka. Nice to meet you!
Thank you for watching.
We closed the door of our rooms
and said goodbye to our memories.
Since then, half a year has passed
and I can finally smile.
I'm busy every day
and I'm walking my own new life.
I want to see you, I want to see you.
The nights I can't sleep is because of your warmth.
I remember that warmth and close my eyes.
Thank you very much.
I'm STU48's Shintai Nonoka.
Thank you for having me.
Shirazu shirazu aruitekita
Hosoku nagai kono michi
Furikaereba haruka tooku
Furusato ga mieru
Degougo michi ya
Magari kureta michi

Ah, like the flow of a river
slowly
Many times have passed
Oh
Endlessly, the sky is dyed with twilight
Thank you very much.
I'm Sugahara Saki of stu48. Nice to meet you.
Pushing up the sky, you reach out your hand towards May.
I want you to come, I want you to come all the way to the water's edge.
I'll give you a flower bud, a garden flower swimsuit.
Your cute light velvet dress.
I hope your endless dream will come true.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day bind me and my endless waves will stop.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm Mahina Taniguchi of Estee Fatide. Nice to meet you.
On my way home, my breath is getting colder
Only the stars are swaying
I'm about to forget even the faint warmth I just felt
When I realized for the first time that I could love someone
It was me who cried
The winter constellations that were connected
I was watching them so that they wouldn't disappear from the sky
I believe
Thank you very much!
I'm Yuri Torobu from stu48. Nice to meet you!
The hill road continues in the dry sky.
My back becomes smaller.
Without being able to find gentle words,
I kept waving that cold hand.
Someday we will all set out on our own paths.
Don't give up on your dream.
I like your passionate eyes.
Don't lose and don't regret.
Shine like you do.
Don't give up on your dream.
I believe you are far away.
Thank you very much!
I'm Fujiwara Azusa of stu48. Nice to meet you!
Because the face of the class photo remained the same,
I was washed away by the crowd and changed.
Sometimes you scold me from a distance.
Don't forget how you lived in those days.
You are my...
...youth itself.
You are...
...my...
...youth itself.
I'm Haruka Nishimura of stu48. Thank you for having me.
The faint cosmos is wet by the casual sunset on an autumn day.
My mother, whose tears have become fragile lately, takes a seat in front of the garden.
Opening an album in Engawa, I repeat the same story over and over again of my childhood memories.
With a small voice like I'm talking to myself,
on a peaceful day like this on an autumn day like this,
I feel your kindness.
Even if I have a hard time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow,
time will change into a laughing story.
"Don't worry about it," I laughed.
Thank you very much.
I'm ST48's Arisa Mineoshi.
Thank you for having me.
See you later!
When the chime rings, I can hear the sound of my footsteps.
This is the morning signal that you came.
Hey, you're always dancing in class, aren't you?
I love that look of yours.
The words I want to say are increasing.
As I thought, you're special.
My feelings are getting bigger and bigger.
Ah, I feel like I'm going to be crushed.
I can't get anything.
My head won't disappear.
I want to see you, but I can't.
My heart beats non-stop.
Even if I hold back my frustrated feelings,
I still want to see you.
In the end, I got lost and came home alone.
I stumbled and got stuck.
Even now, I can't stop.
Hey, listen. I like you.
I love you.
Give me a hug.
Thank you very much.
I'm Morishita Maiha of stu-14-8. Nice to meet you.
In the dazzling morning, you smile and open the window.
Tell me about the beginning of the future I'm lost in.
I'll go out to the usual city again.
The weak days we've spent together have piled up.
I'm collecting the spilled light carefully and shining now.
Since when did your dream change into our dream?
Today is also one of our precious memories.
I hope the blue sky and the crying sky will be sunny.
I want to tell you "thank you".
I'm looking at you, but...
My right hand is connected.
I'm telling you my straight feelings awkwardly.
Always and only always...
I want to laugh with you.
To make sure of the path we believe in,
Let's walk slowly now.
Thank you very much!
I'm Yano Honoka of s.t. Quartet. Nice to meet you!
Hey, do you remember the words you gave me?
They shine in my heart.
If you weren't there at that time,
I might not be here now.
What's wrong? You don't look like yourself.
Why do you look so gloomy?
It's no use being alone.
Didn't we say we weren't afraid of each other?
Hey you, hey you, don't cry, okay?
Try to remember me.
I'm clumsy, but now
I want to accept everything.
That's why I'm here.
No matter what happens, even if I stumble, even if I get lost,
no matter how dark it is, you're right next to me.
That's why I'm next to you.
I'm Yazushita Fu from stu48.
Thank you for having me.
If only one wish could come true for you
What do you wish for now, please let me know.
Even if you can't call this love eternal,
Just for now, let me lie and make you believe with my simple words,
When the song of love echoes, light will shine on the gray night sky.
Let's connect the lights one by one and send them to you far away,
I looked up at the sky, feeling like things would go back to normal tomorrow.
Without saying goodbye, tonight I fall into my dreams again.
I'm Yuka Oki, a senior researcher at STU48 TRAFT. Nice to meet you.
I want you to tell me, my precious one.
It started with "good morning" from you.
It's a casual summer morning, but it's also happiness.
In a casual conversation,
I get burned by your words.
I'm the only one who knows how boring rain days are and how bad studying for tests is.
Before I go to sleep, my long call never ends, so, let's say it together,
Since when has my time with you grown so much?
Hey, my feelings are always fluttering like that,
I keep thinking about you all the time, and I want you to tell. me, my precious one.
To you, my precious one.
STU48. I'm Shinano Soraha. Thank you for having me.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, big hope, I won't forget.
I believe we can meet again in August ten years later.
The best memories.
We met in a sudden moment at the crossing on the way back home.
You called me and said "Let's go home together."
I was hiding my face in my bag and seemed embarrassed,
but I was actually very, very happy.
Ah, the fireworks bloom beautifully in the night sky and it's a little sad.
Ah, the wind flows with time.
We were happy and had fun, and we did a lot of adventures
in our secret base.
I'll never forget you, the end of summer, our dreams for the future, and our big hope.
I believe we'll meet again in August ten years from now.
I knew you were shouting "thank you" from the bottom of your heart until the end.
I held back my tears and said goodbye with a smile. It's sad, isn't it?
The best memories.
Thank you very much.
I'm Akari Yura, STU48 Draft III Research Student. Nice to meet you.
In the classroom where you can see the building,
we lined up at the desk and spent the same days of the month.
A little English and basketball and I fell in love with you.
Even after graduation, you treated me like a child and told me not to go far away.
Half of you smiled and half of you hugged me with a straight face.
On a winter night when the clouds were low, you died like a dream.
You promised me you'd go to the beach and watch a lot of movies.
You promised me, didn't you? I want to see you.
Thank you very much.
That concludes the first round of the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round.

- Yes. - Yes.
- Now, Mr. Sowa. - Yes.
- What did you think of it? - There are a lot of unique characters.

Anyway, I'd like you to tweet about it more and more.
Now...
Since about half of the first day of the qualifier is over,
I'd like to announce the mid-term results so far.
Among #akb48 and #st48,
we'll announce the top 20 places later.
- So... - Top 20 places?
- Out of 37 places.
- That's right. - Out of 17 places...
- We'll announce it here. - We'll announce it here.
Now...
Who are the remaining members of #mnb48 and #st48?

Thank you for waiting! We will now announce the top 20 singers from AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Decision Battle Preliminary 1st Day Preliminary Block NMB48 and STU48.
It's cruel to say this now, but about half of them will be eliminated.
It's difficult.
It's individualistic, and of course, it depends on how you like it.
We would like to announce the top 20.
There are quite a few people who like both groups.
I'm curious about that, too.
I'm curious about the members I've never seen before.
I'm curious about Shintani Nonoka.
I'm curious about her, too.
There's a lot going on.
It was exciting with the hashtag.
But we don't know the scores yet.
That's right.
We don't know the scores yet.
I'd like to announce it now.
Is it okay? I'm a little nervous right now.
The trend seems to be going up a lot.
Really?
Let's take a look.
Great love and electric shock.
Great love lasts for an hour.
We have four hours.
It's been quite a while since it started.
Half an hour.
The hashtag is getting a lot of attention.
It's here.
It's handwritten.
I see.
What does this mean?
Yes, that's right.
So, I'd like to announce the mid-term results from 20th place.
20th place.
First of all...
This is... Huh? It's different.
It's different from the ride.
Let's go.
First of all, 20th place.
nmb48.
yamada suzu.
And the same 20th place is...
This is also nmb.
nmb48.
sakamoto nami.
And the other 20th place is...
stu.
This is stu48.
yabushita foo.
There are only three people.
And...
18th place.
Let's go.
nmb48.
Horision.
He was good.
Yes.
And...
18th place is also the same.
nmb48.
kato yuka.
Yes.
And...
It's like this.
And...
There are two people in 16th place.
First of all...
stu48.
sugahara saki.
And...
The other 16th place is...
nmb48.
shimizu rika.
15th place is... nmb48. horinouchi momoka.
14th place is... stu48. morishita maiha.
13th place is... nmb48. showbu marin.
12th place is... stu48. torobu yuri.
10th place is... nmb48. shimizu rika.
11th place is... stu48. taniguchi mahina.
10th place is... stu48. ohtani marina.
10th place is... nmb48. shimizu rika.
8th place is... nmb48. yama orina.
8th place is... stu48. mine yoshi arisa.
7th place is... stu48. imamura mitsuki.
6th place is... nmb48. shiroma mil.
4th place is... nmb48. akashi natsuko.
4th place is... stu48. yura akari.
3rd place is... stu48. kadowaki miuna.
4th place is... nmb48. yamazaki amir.
5th place is... stu48. kadowaki miuna.
1st place is... stu48. yano honoka.
Yano Honoka wins!
Now, let's hear from Satoh first.
How do you feel about this result?
Well...
Who left you the biggest impression?
I can't say the score, but...
Actually, I made yano honoka win the highest.
That's right.
But I'm satisfied with the result.
That's what I think.
Anyway, yano honoka is 1st place.
How about you, misogawa san?
Well...
I felt like yano honoka was out of the competition.
And...
I'm happy that yano honoka is in the competition.
Thank you for your hard work.
You don't have to say that.
The judges also have their own characteristics.
And you, yoshimasa san.
Well...
Every time we announced it, we said, "Wow!"
But we said it.
That's right.
One-third of the time, we said it.
That's right.
I don't know who we voted for.
But I'm satisfied with it.
We say it's cruel to announce it here.
But it's popular not only in singing ability.
There are times when this song is not well- received.
But it's a good opportunity for us to stay and show our singing ability.
In that sense, it's a good project for researchers to join.
That's right.
Looking at the results...
Yes.
So, this is the best 10 songs that have been announced so far.
Let's see what the results will be like.
This is the second half of the show.
Now, shall we begin?
This is the second half of the first day of qualifying.
Next up is the new song of ngt48.
Here you go.
I'm yuka of ngt48 ogi. Nice to meet you.
Next to you waiting for the train, I'm worried about the clock
It's snowing out of season
"This is the last snow I'll see in Tokyo," you whisper lonely
I know when it's going to snow in Nagori
After seasons of fooling around
Now, spring has come and you've become more beautiful
You've become more beautiful than last year
"This is the last snow I'll see in Nagori," you whisper lonely
I know when it's going to snow in Nagori
After seasons of fooling around
Now, spring has come and you've become more beautiful
You've become more beautiful than last year
I'm Sato Anjou of ngt48. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for whispering to me.
I can still do it.
Because you are always shining.
Sometimes I'm in a hurry and lose myself.
I can't help it.
Because you are always watching over me with a smile.
I'm always holding you like I always do.
Your smile has helped me many times.
Thank you. Thank you.
Best friend.
Always, always, always.
Best friend.
Thank you.
I'm Seiji Reina of NGT48. Thank you for having me.
I always wanted to be with you, I always wanted to smile by your side
Even though the seasons are changing again, my heart is still waiting for you
I always wanted to get used to your right side
But why do I cry so much?
If my feelings don't work anymore, I'll forget you
I want you
Even now, I remember
Your words, even the scenery I saw over my shoulder, it was so one sided
Ah, I woke up from a dream
Your black jacket and your back
I can't see you with anyone anymore, so once again
Like the stars returning to the forest
Even small gestures that disappear naturally
I can only see you forever
Thank you very much.
Hi, I'm Manino Nishigata of NGT48.
Closing the door of our room,
I said goodbye to my memories.
Since then, half a year has passed, and I can finally smile.
I'm busy every day.
I'm walking my own new life.
I want to see you.
When I can't sleep at night, I think of your warmth.
I gently close my eyes.
Thank you.
We don't know why we meet each other.
We don't know when we meet each other.
Where have you been? Have you been alive?
Under the distant sky, there are two stories.
You are the vertical thread and I am the horizontal one.
One day, I may be able to warm someone up.
You are the vertical thread and I am the horizontal one.
People call meeting the right person "happiness".
I'm Ogimatsu from ngt48. Nice to meet you.
Get on the spring-colored train and take me to the sea.
I wonder if I'll be able to gently hold onto your cigarette-smelling shirt.
Even if half a year has passed since the day we met,
I still can't hold your hand.
I will follow you.
I want to follow you.
I will follow you.
I may be a little weak-minded, but I think you're a wonderful person.
The red sweet pea that bloomed in my heart.
I love you more than anyone else I've met until today.
I will follow you.
I like the way you live.
I can't go home like this.
I can't go home.
The red sweet pea that bloomed in my heart.
Thank you very much.
I'm Sugahara Riko of NGT 14-8. Nice to meet you.
The feelings I gathered up until the last second
Every day that has piled up doesn't betray you
The dazzling sunshine is turning into a sunset
Illuminating the times of youth that will never come again
Well, I love your eyes that chase dreams right away.
I want to cherish being with you now
Tears and smiles are proof that you've become reckless.
I'm proud of living with you
I'm always proud of you
Thank you very much!
I'm Yuka Nakamura of NGT48. Nice to meet you!
I now look up at one of the southern stars and vow
No matter what happens, I'll walk forward with a smile on my face
When I think of you, I just feel sad and shed tears
Wishes for the stars, prayers for the moon
I've lived only for the sake of offering
But now, my love for you is my pride
I now...
I now, my love for you is the only thing that makes me smile and cry
Thank you very much!
I'm NGT48's Takahashi Nanami. Nice to meet you!
♪ From the first night train in Ueno to Aomori ♪
The crowd of people returning to the north is silent and only listening to the sound of the sea ♪
I'm alone, too, getting on the contact line ♪
Only the sound of the wind shakes my chest ♪
Ah, dual background, winter scenery ♪
Goodbye, my love. I'm going home.
The sound of the wind only shakes my heart.
Oh, dual background, winter scenery ♪
Thank you.
In the dazzling morning, you smile and open the window.
Tell me how the future I'm lost in has begun.
I'll go out to the usual city again.
The two of us have been building up our days.
I'm collecting the spilled light carefully and it's shining now.
I don't know when your dream became our dream.
Today is also one of our precious memories.
I hope the blue sky and the crying sky will be sunny.
I want to say "thank you" when I look at you.
But my right hand, which is connected to yours, is telling you more kindly and awkwardly than anyone else.
Forever and only forever, I want to laugh with you.
Let's walk slowly now, so we can make sure of the path we believe in.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kawagoe Saya from NGT48. Nice to meet you.
Pushing up the sky, I reach out my hand for you in May.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you a bud, a garden flower swimsuit.
You're cute in light brown.
I hope your endless dream will come to an end.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day bind me and my endless tears will stop.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm hagi riruna of ngt48. Thank you for having me here today.
Only the number of tears can make you stronger.
Like a flower blooming on asphalt,
don't be afraid of everything you see.
Tomorrow will come for you.
I want to see you all of a sudden.
What happened in the late night?
Even if I make a joke in a hurry,
your smile is sad.
On the building, look, the moon rises.
Memories I'm holding tight and pride.
If you throw it away, will something good happen again?
Only the number of tears can make you stronger.
Like flowers blooming on asphalt.
Don't be afraid of everything in the clouds.
Tomorrow will come anytime.
Only the number of tears can make you stronger.
Like flowers swaying in the wind.
Believe in yourself as you are.
Tomorrow will come anytime.
Tomorrow will come for you.
I'm NGT48's Mashimo Kaho. Thank you for having me!
It's already my third spring since I graduated from high school.
I still have the same smile on my face.
I used to ride my bike all the way home.
Now I'm running while looking at the stars from the roof.
After I got out of the car and turned the corner,
you always gave me a brake lamp and a five- lighter.
No matter how many years have passed,
I'm sure we can spend time like this with unchanging feelings.
Because I'm with you.
The prediction of the future I draw in my heart is...
As I thought it would be
It's coming true
Thank you very much!
I'm Hino Mimura of NGT48. Nice to meet you!
Where are you reading this letter from? What are you doing?
There is a seed of worry deep inside of me that no one can talk about.
If it's a letter for myself in the future, I'm sure I can open it honestly.
I'm about to lose, I'm about to cry, and I'm about to disappear.
Whose words should I believe and walk on?
My one and only heart has been broken many times.
I'm living in pain now, I'm living now.
Thank you very much!
I'm Milly Yamazaki of NGT48.
Because I can't be strong,
I just closed my eyes and endured.
Look, I can see it.
To the city you're waiting for
If you wave your hand big enough
I'll look back over and over again
So I want to go home
To the house you're waiting for
There's something I want you to hear
I'd be happy if you could smile
Thank you very much!
(applause)
Now, akb48 group singing power No. 1 final battle.
NGT48 members, 15 people have finished singing.
Now, how was it, Maku-san?
Just now, Juni came out and I felt nervous all of a sudden.
- The more I saw her, the more nervous I got. - That's true.
And for NGT48,
Sato Anju-san, who is known as NGT48's "singer princess", came out in second place.
- I thought she was really good. - "Singer princess"?
- Yes. - She was really good.
Also, the researchers were really confident.
- I thought she was good again. - Yes.
- I felt like 20 people wasn't enough. - (laughs)
- That's right. - Entering the top 20 is quite difficult.
- Yes. - I felt it desperately.
- That's right. - Now, how was it, judges?
- Mr. Zaishimasa. - Yes, yes.
How was it?
Well, based on the scores just now, I thought our responsibility was important.
But should we really make it to 30th place?
(laughs)
- No, there are a lot of people who want it. - There is no such thing.
- It comes out later and later. - There are a lot of people who want it in the final.
That's right.
I'm starting to regret how many average points I should give for the first score.
(laughs)
- The criteria... - The criteria were difficult in the beginning.
- Yes, I feel like it's coming out a little more than 100 points. - No, it's not good.
- Yes, it's not good. - Please give it full marks.
- I understand. - Yes, how about you, Mr. Soma?
No, it's exactly the same.
You don't know the score criteria in the beginning, do you?
After this, you don't know what kind of good girls will come out, and you start from a place where you don't know.
It's not enough, isn't it?
- Yes, it's not enough. - It's not enough, is it?
I'll tell you.
(laughs)
- That's no good. - That's no good.
Everyone wants it, so you can't give it to everyone.
- I see. - I see.
- It's the same thing. - I see.
- That's no good. - Yes.
- How about you, Mr. Sato? - No, it's difficult.
It's getting more and more difficult.
I want to hear more about which girls will come out, and how they will sing other songs.
Well, it's difficult for me to decide here.
By the way, did you say any of the members you were interested in among the NGT members?
Well, of course, all of them are well known for their singing skills.
Well, I'd say Rikko Sugahara.
- Sugahara. - Sugahara.
She has a world view of singing, and her singing style is very visible and transmitted.
- Yes, she has a world view of singing. - What about Oguma-san?
- Oguma-san. - Yes, Oguma-san.
- This is where I'm at a loss. - Yes, it is.
- Right? Her voice is amazing. - Yes, it is.
- If you compare it to a song, - Yes, it is.
- you might wonder how many notes she put in before. - Yes, you might.
- That might be the case. - Yes, it is.
- Some people just want to hear her voice. - Yes, that's right.
- I'm at a loss. - Yes, it is.
- Sometimes, you can't hear her voice. - Yes, it is.
Some people just want to hear her voice.
Maybe it's just for today.
Maybe it's just for today that she's failing.
- Well, for researchers, - Yes.
- the rehearsal went well, - Yes, it did.
- but sometimes, - Yes, it did.
- they get really nervous. - Yes, it did.
- That's also a part of it. - Yes, it is.
- So, for the next rehearsal, - Yes, it is.
- let's do it again. - Yes, it is.
- Well, it's a one-time match. - Yes, it is.
- It's a one-time match. - Yes, it is.
- It's Oguma-san's turn. - It's Oguma-san's turn.
- In the end, - Yes.
- there's only one group left in the first day of qualifying. - Yes, it is.
- Well, #akb48 Singing Power No. 1 final round. - Yes, it is.
- But, Akashi Natsuko-san, - Yes, it is.
- is in 4th place. - Yes, it is.
- It's frustrating. - Yes, it is.
- It's frustrating, she said. - Yes, it is.
- Yes, it is.
- She said she's in 4th place at this point. - Yes, it is.
- Maybe she was frustrated. - Yes, it is.
- Well, - Yes, it is.
- let's start the first day of qualifying. - Yes, it is.
- This is the last screening. - Yes, it is.
- This is HKT48. - Yes, it is.
- Please proceed. - Yes, it is.
- This is HKT48's Akio Shuka. - Yes, it is.
Let's take a picture together
of this nostalgic scenery
I want you to show me
the same pose you did that day
Looking up at the blue sky
The clouds pass by
There are beautiful things far away
That's why they're beautiful
Just like I promised you
I'm so glad you came here
If these feelings I have for you
aren't love
Then I don't know what love is
So I'll put my love into this bouquet
It's an exaggeration, but please accept it
Don't ask me why, okay?
Just for now, forget everything
Don't laugh, just accept it
Don't be shy
I'm HKT48's Ueno Haruka. Thank you for having me.
These feelings I've gathered up until the last second
The days that have piled up
Won't betray you
The dazzling sun will turn into a sunset
Illuminating a youthful time that will never come again
Straight ahead, chasing my dream
I love your eyes
Being with you like that
I want to cherish it now
Tears and smiles
Are proof that I've become brave
Being with you like that
I'm proud of it
I'll always be proud of it
I'm H.K.T.48's Koujina Yui. Thank you for having me.
I'm getting dizzy, I show my face and disappear
Far away, far away to a child's voice
Somewhere in this sky, you must be there
At the end of summer, we escaped together
I found you in this park
I remember that constellation
Even if we can't meet, I'll follow my memories
I want to see the same happiness
With that scent, fireworks pop up
I want to go to you
I want to run right now
It's pitch black and I can't see anything
I'm scared, but it's okay
The countless starry sky is still here
Don't cry, because it was a beautiful sky like the one I saw with you
Thank you very much.
I'm HKT48's Riko Sakaguchi. Nice to meet you.
I wanted to fill in the hole in my heart, so I pretended to be nice and smiled
Encounters and goodbyes are so busy, I'm going to run over my shoulder
I know I'm not good enough, and I'm frustrated
I can't be strong enough, so I just closed my eyes and endured
Look, I can see it now
I want to go to the city you hold in your arms
If you wave goodbye to me, I'll wave goodbye to you again and again
I want to go home to the house you hold in your arms
There's something I want you to hear, and I'd be happy if you'd smile
Thank you very much.
I'm Tashima Meru of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
I push up my shoulder and reach out my hand for you in May.
I want you to wear it. I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you my body in a garden flower swimsuit.
Your cute light brown eyes. I hope your endless dream will come to an end.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my mountain will one day bind me and my endless waves will stop properly.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm HKT48's Tanaka Miku. Thank you for having me.
We were always together, walking down the same road.
We part ways and walk our separate paths.
Holding my heart overflowing with loneliness,
I look up at the sky that makes me want to cry even now.
I thought of you on a night without you.
Even now, I won't cry.
It's because you're doing your best. It's because you're getting stronger.
I reached out to the crescent moon.
These feelings will reach you.
Thank you very much.
I'm HKT48's Toyona Gaki. Nice to meet you.
As the snow melts and heads for the northern sky
As I shout out the dreams of the past
People who don't return
Have a burning heart
At least from today, I'll go on a journey alone
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There are people waiting for me
On a good day, I set out in search of a sunset
With my mother's back to me, I heard a song along the way
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There are people waiting for me
On a good day, I set out in search of a sunset
In search of happiness, I sang a song I sang as a child
On my way home
Thank you very much.
I'm Nao Ueki from HKT48. Nice to meet you.
Look, look at your feet, this is the path you will walk.
Look, look ahead, that is your future.
A lot of kindness, a lot of love.
Ah, I repeated that dream again and again.
At that time, I was still young and didn't know what it meant.
You held my hand and walked with me.
Sometimes I didn't like that kindness.
I couldn't be honest with my separated mother.
Look, look at your feet.
This is the path you walk on.
Look, look ahead, that is your future.

I'm Baba Saika from HKT48. Thank you for having me.
It's snowing out of season.
"This is the last time I'll see snow in Tokyo," you mutter, looking lonely.
It's snowing out of season.
After all those seasons of fooling around,
spring has come and you've become more beautiful.
You've become more beautiful than you were last year.
"This is the last time I'll see snow in Tokyo," you mutter, looking lonely.
On the platform you left behind, I saw snow melt as it fell.
Now, spring has come and you've become more beautiful.
You've become more beautiful than you were last year.
H. K. T. Fortier and Fuchiga Imai. Thank you.
[music]
Hi there, what are you doing
with this letter I'm reading?
I'm ten years old, and I can't talk to anyone.
I have a lot of worries.
If it's a letter for myself in the future,
I'm sure I can open it honestly.
I'm about to lose, about to cry, about to disappear.
Whose words should I believe and walk on?
My one and only heart has been broken many times.
I'm living in pain now.
I'm living now.
Thank you very much.
I'm H.K.T.48's Genna Murashi. Nice to meet you.
"The room where there is a stain on the window..." "The room where there is a stain on the window..." "The room where there is a stain on the window..."

Thank you very much.
I'm H.K.T.48's Elena Sakamoto. Thank you for having me.
You said you wanted to live here.
The train shook me to this city.
You came to see me.
Even now, I can't forget those days and I'm still alive.
Even now, I pray for you at Yagumo Shrine.
If my wish could come true, I'd like to go back to those days.
The cityscape you said you liked will fade away today.
A wide sky and mountains in the distance.
The city we walked together.
The city where the sunset is beautiful.
I'm HKT48's Tomoka Takeda. Nice to meet you!
Even if you don't call this love "eternal"
Just for now, let me believe in your weak words of lies
If the song of love resounds, light will shine in the gray night sky
Let's connect the light one by one and deliver it to you in the distance
I looked up at the sky, feeling like I could go back to how I always was tomorrow
Please don't say "goodbye"
Even tonight, I'm falling into a dream
Thank you very much.
HKT48. I'm Tsukiya Shamane. Nice to meet you.
Hey, do you remember the words you gave me?
They shine in my heart.
If you weren't there at that time,
I wouldn't be where I am now.
If you weren't there at that time,
I wouldn't be where I am now.
What's wrong? You don't look like yourself.
You have a gloomy face.
There's nothing I can do when I'm alone.
If you weren't there at that time,
I wouldn't be scared.
You don't cry, do you?
Remember that.
I'm clumsy,
but I want to accept everything now,
so I'm here.
I will stay with you.
No matter what happens,
even if you stumble,
even if you get lost,
baby, no,
I will stay with you.
No matter what darkness you're in,
I will be there for you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Hazuki Hakazono of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
Thank you very much.
I wonder how much I can tell you.
You always locked me up.
You erased the pain in my heart.
Now I can smile
Because you cried with me.
Because I'm not alone.
Because you protect me.
I can be strong.
I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
Time goes by.
It flows with pain.
The sun's light gently shines on me.
Because I'm not alone.
Because you protect me.
I can be strong.
I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
Time goes by.
It flows with pain.
The sun's light gently shines on me.
Thank you very much.
I'm HKT48's Vivian Murakawa. Nice to meet you.
When your day ends, I'll be by your side
Don't say anything, just give me a gentle kiss
If you call me, I'll run to you, I'll go to you right away
I'll throw everything away, I'll catch my breath, I'll cool my fingers
I'll go see you right away
Even if I'm not rewarded, even if we're not connected
You're my one and only destiny
When this day comes to an end, if you're by my side
I don't need a tomorrow
I'll stroke your hair, I'll hold your shoulders until you fall asleep
Thank you very much.
I'm H.K.T. Court's Yamaa Chiyuna. Nice to meet you.
Take me to the sea in your spring-colored train
Because I'll snuggle up to your cigarette-smelling shirt
Even if we've known each other for six months
I still can't hold your hand
I will follow you
I want to follow you
I will follow you
I'm a little weak-minded, but you're a wonderful person
I like your red, sweet kiss that bloomed in my heart
I will follow you more than anyone else I've met so far
I like the way you live
I can't go home like this
I can't go home
The day spring came into my heart was a red, sweet pea
Thank you very much!
And with that, the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Qualifier Day 1,
the last of the 18 members of HKT48 have finished their singing tests.
How was it for you, Aoki-san?
It was wonderful!
HKT48...
Well, we saw it on Eigo and Twitter, but the level...
The level of everyone was amazing, but...
It was very expressive.
I was drawn into the world of each song.
It felt like I was listening to the ending of a drama.
I cried a lot.
Miku-chan, Luna-chan...
Everyone was really good.
Eki, Nao-chan...
And Ede-pyon, too.
He was full of himself.
- His sense of smell... - His sense of smell...
I was really moved.
- He had a bad breath. - He had a bad breath.
It wasn't good.
- The audience... - It wasn't good.
It was good, but it wasn't good.
How about you, Shizenryo-san?
Yoshimasa-san...
Well, we got full marks in a row.
In the end, we got two pluses and one minuses.
I was doing "Hakata Yoshimasa Park".
And there was Rico-py and Kojina-san.
Everyone is getting better and better.
- "Hakata". - That's true.
- It's amazing. - There was "Seiryo" as well.
- "Hokazono". - "Hokazono".
- "Hokazono" and "Seiryo". - Let me...
"Hokazono" was my first song.
- Was it? - My first song.
- Yes.
- It was your first song. - Yes.
I really want you to graduate.
No, no, no.
- I won't let you graduate. - No, no, no.
- That's what Yoshimasa is thinking about now. - Yes.
I found a great song today.
I'll ask you about it later.
Well...
If I knew about this in the beginning...
- I feel sorry for you in the beginning. - That's right.
But in the second half...
H.K.T. members are singing in their own world.
It's totally different from the original singers.
Their way of swinging, singing, and singing.
They're trying to make their own stories.
I thought it was amazing how they sang.
- Mr. Sado, do you agree? - Yes, I do.
I think you're right.
It's really hard to give scores.
I was impressed by how many members are singing in their own world.
Mr. Sado, are there any members you're interested in?
Well, of course, there are a few.
But I think Mr. Toyonaga's choice of song was good.
- Toyonaga? - Yes.
- No, no, no. - No, no, no.
- Yamaguchi too. - No, no, no.
- I'm glad you said that. - I could feel the three-dimensionality of the sound.
It's a recording, but it's still amazing.
I also like Mr. Sakamoto's choice of song.
Mr. Hosogawa, are there any members you're interested in?
Well, that's about it.
I don't know what I'm going to make up for at this age.
I thought it was amazing.
- First of all... - It's great that you sing so seriously.
- Mr. Yoshiba, what about you? - Yes.
Mr. Akiyoshi does a lot of covers on YouTube.
The song I wrote for HKT was a pretty upper melody.
I think it'd be nice if we all did a ballad song.
- The way HKT looks like... - Yes, many of them look like singer-songwriters.
I don't think you'll need my song.
- You'll need it. - You'll need a song you can write on your own.
- That's what I thought. - Wow, that's amazing.
- Your facial expressions are amazing. - We'll give you points for that.
- We'll give you points for that.
It's like you're asking me for my original song.
- It's great that you sing so proudly. - That's amazing.
- The top 20 will be even more difficult. - That's right.
- That's a problem. - It is, isn't it?
The first day of qualifying is over.
We'll announce the top 20 on the first day of qualifying later.
We saw the top 20 earlier.
What will happen next?
The results of the first day of qualifying...
The top 20 will be decided.
Now, in the first day of qualifying, who remained in the top 20?
Please take a look at this announcement during the collection.
I'll let you know right away!
Now, thank you for your patience.
NMB48, STU48, NGT48, HKT48, who participated in the first day of qualifying for the singing power No. 1 decision battle...
I would like to announce the top 20.
Now, how are you feeling?
I'm nervous.
So, once again...
The announced top 20 will have a chance to advance to the final tournament held in Akasaka and Toshiata.
In addition, in line with the top 20 of the second day of qualifying tomorrow...
The top 15 will advance to the final tournament held in Akasaka and Toshiata.
In addition to that, about five judges will be recommended to advance to the final tournament held in Akasaka and Toshiata.
Now...
The top 10 of the top 20...
I'm sure you're all curious about it.
It's a pretty rough decision, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
The last one, HKT48, was also great.
It was great.
Now...
I'd like to announce the top 20.
First of all...
The top 19.
The top 19...
There are two of you.
First of all...
NGT48...
Riko Sugahara.
And one more.
H.K.T.48. Anna Murashige.
Let's move on.
Number 17.
These two are also here.
First one, H.K.T.48. Mel Tashima.
And one more, H.K.T.48. Nao Ueki.
Let's move on.
Number 15.
These two are also here.
Number 15.
N.M.B.48. Shiroma Mirsa.
And one more, H.K.T.48. Kumazawa Serina.
And number 14.
N.G.T.48. Yamada Noe.
Let's move on.
Number 12 is also here.
Number 12.
N.M.B.48. Akashi Natsuko.
And one more, S.T.U.48. Yura Akari.
And number 11.
H.K.T.48. Amane Tsukiyoshi.
From 11th to 19th, we have 10 candidates who will be announced first.
Judges, what do you think?
What's going on with your Twitter and your voice telling judges to stop?
I wanted to go home before the results came out.
- Please look at the results, too. - Is it okay for you to wait for them to come out?
From 11th to 20th, we have 10 candidates who will be announced first.
H.K.T. has a different passion.
I see. It's hard.
- It's hard. - Yes.
Well, we do that kind of work, too.
But we're not good at artistic things.
Of course, at work, I want you to sing the song I wrote honestly.
If you're going to be the number one singer,
I'd like you to have your own personality and your own way of singing.
There are a lot of people with unique personalities.
Mr. Sogawa, what do you think?
Well, it's the same with personality.
I don't know what it is.
It's amazing what comes out of you.
I wonder why people in Kyushu are so good at singing.
It's not just idol singers.
There are rock stars, too.
- Checkers? - Checkers.
Checkers.
There's also Mr. Matsudaseiko.
He made "Queen's P.D."
He's very focused.
When I do contests,
I've been a judge before,
but I tend to stay in the south.
- Including Okinawa. - You could have gone to Japan.
- Japan. - Japan.
- No, no, no. - You could have gone to Japan.
Mr. Sato, what do you think?
Well...
If I could say it again,
I'd like to hear a different version of the song.
- There are people like that. - Yes, of course.
Of course, we're giving out points for the song.
I wonder what would happen if I sang this song in a ballad.
I wonder if it would work out.
It brings back memories.
Is there anyone who left an impression?
For me, it's...
Mr. Sono.
- Mr. Hoka Sono. - Mr. Hoka Sono.
- Mr. Hoka Sono and... - Mr. Hoka Sono.
- Akashi. - From 11th place.
- 11th place. - That's right.
- Is it in the song? - No, it's not.
- Mr. Yamada Noe. - Oh...
- I see. - Noe-chan.
- Ito.
- Yes. - Yes.
This project...
AKB's live song...
contest...
I wondered if it would work out.
On the contrary, it reminded me of the past.
There were so many people who sang this song.
- That's right. - That's right.
Mr. Akashi Natsuko, who was in 4th place earlier,
- is now in 12th place. - He's in 12th place.
- Let's move on. - Yes.
I'd like to announce the rest of the songs
from 1st place.
I'd like to announce the rest of the songs
from 1st place.
First of all, 10th place...
STU48...
Ms. Kadowaki Miuna.
9th place... HKT48... Haruka Ueno.
8th place... HKT48... Hazuki Hokazo.
7th place... HKT48... Yuka Akiyoshi.
6th place... HKT48... Yui Kojina.
5th place... HKT48... Aki Toyonaga.
4th place... HKT48... Tomoka Takeda.
3rd place... NMB48... Yamazaki Amiru.
2nd place... STU48... Yanoho no Gasa.
1st place... HKT48... Sakamoto Elena.
- How many people are in HKT48? - HKT48... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...
- 8... - Then it's 12 people. From 11th to 20th, it was 5 people.
- Wow. - 12 people.
- 12 people.
- They entered, but it's amazing. - Wow.
- Now, looking at this... Sato-san. - Yes.
- What do you think of this result? - Well...
Well...
Of course, we gave more points, and those who gave more points came in 1st place.
Those who stayed in 1st place?
Well...Yano-san, Sakamoto-san, and Yamazuki-san.
I'd like to ask those three again.
I think those three stayed in 1st place.
Well...Sowa-san, what do you think?
I think they did well.
But I'd like to hear songs like "Joy" and "Sign" again.
Songs that are different from the ones we sang today?
Yeah, like "Up Tempo". I'd like to hear those songs again.
By the way, are there any members who left an impression on you?
Well...
But I'd like to say that Sakamoto-san was amazing.
What was amazing about him?
Well...
Even when you're creating a world, you're always hitting the pitch.
It tends to be like that.
When you're trying to create a world, you're hitting the pitch a little too low.
Even if it gets low, I think there are still songs that are convincing.
But in her case, she covers the pitch properly, so it's pretty perfect.
And Mr. Yoshimoto...
I fell in love with him.
Mr. Mineyoshi...
No, no, no...
Mr. Mineyoshi isn't here.
I might say that later, but...
Do you have any other requests, judges?
I had a very luxurious time.
I was wondering if I could do it a little more at the end, for me.
Good, good, good...
But, you know...
Everyone has their own personality.
I was wondering if I could hold out for four hours.
But I can do it in four hours.
I can do it.
Do you want me to continue?
You can do it for tomorrow.
That's how much I want to hear about you for tomorrow.
Well...
Here...
Oh, up to 20th place.
Oh, 20 people in total.
Here are today's results.
Mr. Aoki, is there anyone you're interested in?
But as expected of H.K.T.
It's amazing.
It feels like it's been shown for a long time.
But there are a lot of people who don't have a name here who think it's amazing.
That's right.
It's not easy to actually get out of that main line like this.
I'm being squeezed out of here again.
That's right.
Well, tomorrow too.
About 80 people.
It's quite a fierce battle.
But I want everyone to get out of here.
That's right.
I want to see it live.
It's a VTR, but I'd like to see it at the venue as well.
Yes.
That's why.
Akasaka Act Theater.
On January 11th.
For the final round.
First of all, the first day of the qualifying round.
These are the 20 people.
In addition.
Tomorrow, AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round.
The second day of the qualifying round.
That's tomorrow.
Tomorrow as well.
In the evening.
It will be broadcast live from 18 o'clock on Saturday evening tomorrow.
It will be very popular tomorrow as well.
That's right.
Tomorrow, 80...
More than 80 people.
80 people.
I'm saying it out of spite.
No, no, really.
People who are not in the 20th place.
By all means.
Don't give up singing.
Everyone was good.
If you work harder and harder, you can do this again.
Yes, yes.
Never give up.
Yes.
How was it today?
No, it's more than I imagined.
Yes.
Not at all.
Well, I'm not saying this.
I didn't expect much.
No, it was good.
It was good.
No, I was surprised.
No, it's more than I imagined.
How about you, Mr. Sato?
That's right.
I heard a lot of singing voices.
It was a really fun time.
I felt it short.
Yes, yes.
It's been four hours, hasn't it?
Yes.
In no time at all, more than 70 people.
Yes.
That's why.
Tomorrow.
In the evening.
Oh, it's from six o'clock.
From six o'clock.
December 1st.
Tomorrow.
Well, it's in the afternoon.
That's right.
Today.

The second day.

That's it.
That's it, judges.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Aoki.

That's it.
See you tomorrow evening at six o'clock.
Thank you very much.
