Love is over
It's sad, but let's end it
Because there's no end
Love is over
There's no reason for it
There's only one thing
For you
Love is over
There will come a time
When you can say it with a smile
That it's a young mistake
Love is over
Don't cry, man
Forget about me as soon as possible
I won't forget you
No matter who holds you, I won't forget you
Because I think it's our last love
Love is over
I can be your shield
Softly in your heart
Love is over
There's one last thing
Don't deceive yourself
I'm Suzuki Kurumi of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
These feelings I gathered up until the last second
Every day that has piled up does not betray you
The dazzling sunshine turns into a sunset
Illuminating the times of youth that will never come again
I love your eyes that chase dreams straight ahead
I want to cherish being with you now
Tears and smiles are proof that I've become reckless.
I am proud of living with you.
I'll always be proud of you
I'm Manaka Naguchi from akb48. Thank you for having me.
Thank you. Thank you.
Best friend.
Forever and ever and ever.
Best friend.
Thank you very much.
Hi, I'm AKB48 Chiba Erii. Nice to meet you.
Even if reality turns into a one-click light
I wonder if I can't be Adam and Eve
Even if I'm far away from the back of the earth
I follow the birthplace of sadness
If only I could gently touch and heal those scars
My overflowing feelings of love will shine on you
To the point of being a light
Even if there's no me in the picture of the future
I'll gently hold you
Even if it's fate, I want you to pull me closer and keep shining
Even if it's a miracle, I want you to wake me up and make me believe
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Nishikawa Rei. Nice to meet you.
Thank you very much.
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.
Closing in and bending over,
you're so dear to me.
If we hold hands, we'll feel warm.
If we hate each other, we'll feel lonely.
Each one of them will become you.
The rainbow 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 AKB48's Mayda Yaka. Thank you for having me.
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,
walking my own new life.
I want to see you,
but I can't sleep at night.
I remember your warmth,
so I quietly close my eyes.
I'm Mion Mukaichi of akb48. Thank you for having me.
Should I listen to my favorite song alone?
Because Olivia will comfort my lonely heart
Jasmine tea is a medicine that invites you to sleep
I want to end my day like myself
When we met on a night like this
I didn't think this day would come
Making good things better
I just piled up time
You were exhausted
Did you love my illusion?
You're calling me at night, right?
I have nothing to say
Making good things better
Love is gone
Don't come to me again
You were exhausted
Did you love my illusion?
I'm Yui Yokoyama from akb48.
Thank you for having me.
My blood is about to break and my passion is about to collapse.
I'm always looking for something to hold me back.
Why can't I see my dreams honestly anymore?
There's nowhere for me to be.
Love was spilling out of me.
Adults rubbing through the crowd and reaching out to me.
My experience increased and I couldn't avoid it anymore.
Even if I get lost, I'm proud of loving someone.
It didn't seem like we'd meet again, but I felt like we would. That's why I lived.
It seemed like it would reach me, but I couldn't grab it. Like a strawberry, it was sweet and painful.
I thought about it all night.
One by one, they're disappearing. I counted the lights in my house.
There's nowhere in the city for me to sleep.
Tears were spilling out of my body.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Shimoguchi Hinano. Thank you for having me.
Get on the spring-colored train and take me to the sea. Because I'll gently hug your cigarette-smelling shirt Even if it's only half a year since we first met
I will follow you I will follow you choppiri ki ga yowai kedo sutekii na hito dakara Because you're a kind-hearted and lovely person
I love you sweeter than anyone I've met so far, I will follow you I love the way you're going I can't go home like this I can't go home I like the way you live, I can't go home like this, I can't go home
sweet pea suiito pii sweet pea
Thank you very much.
I'm Muto Rin of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, I won't forget your big hope
Ten years later in August, I'll meet you again, believe me
The best memories
The moment we met, you called me at the crossing on the way home. "Let's go home together."
I was very happy while hiding my face in my bag.
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.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, I won't forget your big hope.
I believe we will meet again in August ten years later.
You said goodbye to me until the end.
I hold back my tears and say goodbye with a smile. It's painful, isn't it?
The best memories
Thank you very much.
Hi, I'm Tom Mutoh of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
You look depressed, your voice is fading away far, far away.
I wonder if you're somewhere in this sky.
At the end of summer, we escaped together.
I remember that constellation we found in this park.
Even if we can't meet, I want to follow my memories and see the same happiness.
With that scent, the fireworks suddenly opened.
I want to go to you. I want to run out and go 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 I saw with you in the past.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for watching.
I'm YASUDA KANA of AKB48. Thank you for watching.
We don't know why we come across one another.
We don't know when we come across one another.
Where have you been? Have you lived your life?
Underneath the distant sky, there are two stories.
You are the thread in my hand and I am the thread beside you.
One day, I may be able to warm someone up.
You are the thread in my hand and I am the thread beside you.
When we come across each other, we call it happiness.
Thank you very much!
Now, AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Decision Match.
First of all, Team A of AKB48 and Team K of AKB48, 12 singers have finished judging.
Now, first of all, Ichikawa-san.
Each of them has their own taste.
Yes, that's right.
"Love is over" starts and ends with "it".
I can't get enough of it.
Set list.
It was a nice set list.
Now, I'd like to ask the judges as well.
How did you like it?
The range of the song is wider than yesterday.
It's called "singing power".
It was the first time I heard such a high-pitched song in Yokoyama.
A high-pitched song doesn't make you feel love.
It's always high-pitched.
Director So!
It's always high-pitched.
"singing power" is like the importance of a song in a battle.
Hinana-san sang seriously.
That's right.
For the first time in my life, I saw Chinoguchi Hinana being serious.
Did you?
I thought it was true.
How about you, Soga-san?
Well...
Everyone is trying to express their own world.
Each of us has changed that.
As Inoue-san said, there is a wide range of influence.
But each of us is trying to say something.
That's what we've been told.
Are there any members you're interested in?
As expected of you, Director So.
Director...
I don't think I've ever called him "Director So".
You've been singing "I'm Proud" since yesterday, right?
No, I haven't.
There are a lot of songs I've been singing.
Like "Akai Suitobiritsu".
"Akai Suitobiritsu" and "Planetarium".
I've been singing "Planetarium" and "Beats" a lot.
You sing old songs, don't you?
We all do.
I was surprised.
I thought he was the only pianist who sang only this song.
He's amazing.
His show is amazing, too.
I'll give you 100 points for that.
100 points for "that guy".
I made a mistake yesterday.
Is it okay?
It's okay.
How about you, Sato-san?
I felt like you were singing each song in your own interpretation.
As I expected, Yokoyama-san's singing voice is very transparent.
I had an honest impression that it went up to the top beautifully.
I agree with you.
Shimokuchi Hinana-san's facial expressions and words went well with each other.
I liked it very much.
So, Team A and Team B...
First of all, there are 12 members.
Yes.
But there are still 73 members left.
73 members.
Yes.
There are only 73 members left.
Yes, unfortunately.
That's what I think.
That's right.
But yesterday's show was over in no time.
Yes.
It was a wonderful concert.
Yes.
Even though it's an audition, it's like a concert.
Yes.
It's fun when you think about it.
That's right.
Thank you very much.
Yamagata-san...
Yes.
I think the members themselves are also very interested in this judging pattern.
That's right.
Yes.
So, viewers...
For the sake of the members, please give us your impressions of this live broadcast and comment on #akb48 Singing Power No. 1 Decision Battle.
Yes.
How is it?
That's right. It's coming now.
Is it coming?
Yes.
Everyone has their own impressions.
These three...
Bukaichi, Yokoyama, Shimoguchi...
They all said that it was good.
I see.
Things like that.
Well, various things...
Huh? Were there two pianists?
Oh!
You're sharp.
You're looking at me.
You missed me, didn't you?
I guess you can give a pianist a hundred points.
A hundred points...
Let's give them a hundred points.
Yes.
Let's give them a hundred points.
Between pianists.
Yes.
I'm worried about his score, though.
No, no...
Just because he got that many points...
His mental strength and...
His skills are not good at all.
Great.
Let's move on.
Next...
Let's do the preliminary judging.
Next...
#akb48's researchers.
First, #20.
Go ahead.
I'm Sato Minami of akb48. Nice to meet you.
The snow began to fall, erasing my footprints.
In this pure white world, I'm all alone.
The wind whispered in my heart, "You can't go on like this."
I was confused and hurt, and I couldn't tell anyone about it.
Let's stop doing that.
I'll show you who I really am.
I'll become who I really am.
I'm not afraid of anything.
Blowing in the wind, I'm not cold at all.
It seemed like a lie that I was worried about.
But 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 fly to the sky in the wind.
As it is, I'll try to fly away.
I'll never shed tears again.
It's not even a little cold.
I'm Yamane Suzuha from AKB48. Thank you for having me.
Yes, I wonder what you, who is reading this letter, are doing.
As number ten, I have a seed of worries that I can't tell anyone 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, 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 now in pain.
I'm living now.
Thank you very much.
I'm Sato Shiori of akb48.
Thank you for having me.
I'm waiting for the train and I'm looking at the clock next to you
It's snowing out of season
"This is the last snow I'll see in Tokyo," you whisper lonely
It's strange even when it snows in Nagori
After seasons of playing around
Now, spring has come and you've become beautiful
You've become more beautiful than last year
You left and I stayed on the platform
I saw the snow melt as it fell
Now, spring has come and you've become more beautiful
You've become more beautiful than last year
Look, look at your feet, this is the path you will walk on.
Look, look ahead, that is your future.
Mother gave me a lot of kindness and love.
Ah, I repeated that dream again and again.
I was still young and didn't know what it meant.
You held my hand and walked with me.
Sometimes I didn't like your kindness.
When we were apart, I couldn't be honest with you.
Look, look at my feet.
This is the path you walk on.
Look, look ahead of you.
That's your future.
Thank you very much!
I'm Honda Sora of AKB48. Nice to meet you!
The night is fading, you face out, disappearing
A child's voice, far away, far away
Somewhere in this sky, you must be there
At the end of summer, we escaped
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, the fireworks pop
I want to go to you
I want to run and go right now
Even if it's pitch black and you can't see anything
Even if you're scared, it's okay
The countless starry skies
Are still here now
Don't cry
Because it's still the beautiful sky we saw together
Thank you!
I'm AKB48's Okada Rina. Nice to meet you.
Slightly sweet and slightly bitter
the flavor of love
Whether friends or lovers
at some point in between
I'm dreaming of harvest day
Blue fruits
Because I can't take one more step
Yeah oh
Because I want to know baby
Aha, when you say "thank you"
Even the traces of "goodbye" feel so painful
The magic that doesn't fade, it's so faint and bitter
The more I wish and wish that I want to believe
Somehow it's painful
I love you
Isn't "I love you" more like you than "I love you"?
The favor of love
Thank you very much.
I'm Saori Katsumata of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
I will follow you. I may be a little weak- spirited, but I'm a wonderful person.
I love you, my red sweet pea, which bloomed in my heart and in my arms.
I love you more than anyone else I've met today.
I love the way you live.
I can't go home like this. I can't go home.
The day spring came to my heart was a red sweet pea.
Thank you very much.
Children head for the sky, spreading both hands, trying to catch birds, clouds, and even dreams.
That figure is me, who doesn't know anything about yesterday.
I believed that my fingers would reach you.
Beyond the sky and the earth touching each other, I'm calling travelers from the past.
To you, I'm just a passerby.
I turned around for a moment, and I'm just a passerby.
All I have left is sadness, and I'm just a passerby.
I'm Asuna Gensuki of AKB48.
Thank you for having me.
Thank you very much for choosing me like me this time.
Before you use it, please read this handling instructions carefully.
Treat it correctly and kindly.
We do not accept changes or exchanges for good items.
Please give us your approval.
There are times when you're suddenly in a bad mood.
Even if you ask for an excuse, you'll get angry if you leave it alone even though you can't answer.
I'm always sorry, but in such a case,
let's keep in touch with each other.
If you praise me regularly, I'll keep it for a long time.
Let's notice even small changes like beautiful nails.
Please keep an eye on me.
But you don't have to notice unnecessary things like being fat.
If you're getting a little older and you look away,
please remember the day we first met.
Please continue to take care of me.
I'm like this, but please laugh and forgive me.
Please take good care of me.
I guarantee eternity.
Please continue to take care of me.
I'm like this, but please laugh and forgive me.
Please take good care of me.
I guarantee eternity.
Thank you very much.
I'm Megumi Nagano of a.k.a.b.48. Nice to meet you.
I want to say "see you soon"
I want to remember
many things with you
I don't want to forget
I want to say "see you soon" and hug you
I'm glad that everything started with you
That's what I think from the bottom of my heart
I bit my lips and touched you with my fingers
I made sure of our kiss
When it stopped raining and the stars fell down
I got lost in my little room
Ah, I climbed up the tetrapod
Staring up at the top of the world
Let's fly away into space
Ah, when you touch my cheek
Our time stops
Oh, I love you, my boyfriend
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48's Ihagi Moeka. Thank you for having me!
We've been together for a long time, the path we walked together.
We part ways and walk our own separate paths.
Holding my heart overflowing with loneliness,
I look up at the sky that makes me want to cry even now,
and I think of you.
Ah, even on nights without you,
I won't cry anymore.
I'm doing my best, you know? I'll become stronger, you know?
Oh, you're watching too, aren't you?
This disappearing crescent moon.
Because we're connected, you know? Because I love you, you know?
I reach my hand out to the crescent moon.
My feelings reach you.
Thank you very much.
AKB48's Nanami Harima.
Thank you very much.
The seasons I've always waited for with you
Passed by without saying anything
Ame wa kono machi ni furisosogu Rain falls on this town
A little regret and sin are wrapped up
Time has passed without swearing not to cry
Without noticing my aching heart
I've become alone in my memories
We can live forever Zutto futari wa ikite yukeru We can live forever
Your voice still echoes in my heart
It's the shadow of love wandering around Sore wa ai ga samayou kage It's the shadow of love wandering around
Kimi wa sukoshi naita ano toki mienakatta You cried a little because you couldn't see it at that time
Thank you very much!
AKB48 Hitomi Otake.
As the snow melts and heads for the northern sky
As I shout out the dreams of the past
Those who won't go home will swim with a burning heart
At least from today, I'll go on a journey all by myself
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There is someone waiting for me
On a good day, I set out in search of happiness
With my mother's back, I heard a song along the way
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There is someone waiting for me
On a good day, I set out in search of happiness
The song I sang as a child, along the road
Thank you very much.
I'm Maho Oomori of akb48.
Thank you for having me.
I was happy when you smiled and whispered to me.
I can do more and more.
Because I'm always by your side.
Sometimes I'm in such a hurry that I lose sight of you.
But I can't help it, because you're always watching over me.
And with a smile, like you always do, I hug you.
How many times has your smile saved me?
Thank you, thank you.
Always, always, always, best friend.
A.k.a. "b48" Saito Helena. Thank you for having me.
Just by taking a deep breath,
the light sways as if it were about to disappear.
I live more firmly than the stars shining in the sky.
No matter how far apart we are,
you will be by my side.
Even on the same night, I believe
that a gentle breeze is blowing.
Toward the wide sky,
spread your arms high.
The white powder snow
reaches my heart. Let's fill it up.
Even in this distant city,
you give me dreams.
The white powder snow
reaches you. Let's fill it up.
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48 Kurosu Haruka. Nice to meet you!
Turning old albums over, I muttered "thank you".
Always, always in my heart, you are the one who encourages me.
Whether it's a sunny day or a rainy day,
that smiling face floats in my mind.
Even if I let my memories fade away,
I'll look for your face and come back to life.
Whether it's a sunny day or a rainy day,
that smiling face floats in my mind.
Even if I let my memories fade away,
I'm lonely and I miss you.
My feelings for you, yes, yes, I miss you.
I miss you.
My feelings for you, yes, yes,
Thank you very much.
I'm HKB48 HONMA MAI. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
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 here now.
You don't look well.
You look gloomy.
You said you weren't afraid of anything
if you were alone.
You don't, you don't cry, do you?
I'm, I'm clumsy, but now
I'm here to forgive you for everything.
I can't forgive you.
La~la~la~la~la~la~la~la~la~la~
Thank you very much.
I'm Sena Ishiwata of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, and a big hope I won't forget
Ten years later in August, I believe we will meet again
The best memories
We met in a sudden moment at the crossing on the way back home.
You called me out. "Let's go home together."
I was hiding my face in my bag, embarrassed.
Actually, I was very, very happy.
Ah, fireworks bloom beautifully in the evening sky and it's a little sad.
Ah, the wind flows with time.
We were happy and had fun. We did a lot of adventures.
In our secret base.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, I won't forget your big hope.
I believe we will meet again in August ten years later.
I knew you were shouting "thank you" from the bottom of your heart until the end.
It's sad to say goodbye with a smile holding back tears, isn't it?
Best memories
Thank you very much.
I'm Miyu Karamoto, aka "Hottei". 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, there is a sad sound.
Closing in and meeting you now, I love you so much.
If we hold hands, we'll feel warm. If we hate each other, we'll feel lonely.
Each one of them will be you. The rainbow 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 Yuzuka Yoshino, aka "b48". Nice to meet you.
How are you? Did you meet someone important?
Will your dream come true someday?
Do you remember?
The swaying wheat field on that evening
I kept searching for the sky along the horizon
While struggling to draw tomorrow
Now into my dream
The shapeless shine
Gently, gently embraces me
I move forward
Now, AKB48 GROUP SINGING POWER NO.1 DECISION ROUND 2ND ROUND!
AKB48 researchers! 20 singer judges have finished.
First of all, in the VTR, Mr. Sato Shiori's handwriting was a little wrong, so please understand. I'm sorry.
Yes, this is it.
Yes, that's why the VTR is a little wrong. I'm sorry.
Now, by the way, there are various differences in lighting and location in the video, but judges are judged only by singing ability, so I would like you to take note of that as well.
Now, Mr. Ichika, 20 researchers, how was it?
It was delicious.
But there were some people who were drawn into it.
Personally, when I saw it live, Mr. Yahagi and Mr. Ohtake were singing quite proudly.
Now, that being said, judges, how about you, Mr. Yoshima?
Yes, Mr. Yahagi and Mr. Ohtake were convincing.
What is this?
There are a lot of young people.
That's right.
About 60 years of expression.
It was amazing.
There was quite a bit of expressive power.
It was amazing.
I like Okada Ina's vocalization method.
It's unique.
So there were quite a few people who wanted to hear it again.
Even though it was a little off pitch this time, there were some people who said, "Oh, again?"
If you practice...
That's right.
But it's too small of a range for us to go to the finals.
If we had enough time, we'd like you to come.
We have a pianist.
That's right.
We only have a piano.
The pianist was a little different when you were playing, Mr. Suenaga.
That's right.
I'm sorry about that, too.
I'm not a pianist.
I'm sorry about that.
Next up is Mr. Yasubara. How was it?
Well, Mr. Yahagi and Mr. Otoke...
And...
What was it?
I really like Okada Ina's voice.
Why did you choose such a difficult song?
A song with such a wide range is a little disadvantageous.
I thought it would be a little more attractive if it was a song that you could sing easily.
There are various choices in song selection.
Mr. Sato.
Yes.
As the two teachers said, I guess it's about key settings.
If you go from a wide range of low to high keys, you can hear it again.
"Oh, that's too bad." It's a very nice voice, but it's a place where you can worry about what to do when you go back and forth.
There were a lot of people who wanted to hear it again.
Maybe we should do it more often.
I don't know.
I think we'll do it because of time constraints.
Of course, Mr. Yahagi and Mr. Otoke were great singers and singers.
But I don't know how Mr. Minami interpreted and sang the first half song.
He's good at singing.
He has an originality.
I wonder if he thinks about it a lot and sings it.
He has a good personality.
It's hard for me to say.
He has a very good voice.
Will it change a little?
Yes, that's it.
I'm sure you all have your own impressions and comments about this live broadcast.
What do you think?
Well, Mr. Yahagi was really excited.
Yes, he was excited.
And about Mr. Yoshimatsu waving his hand back.
It's cute.
Yes, it's cute.
Yes, it's exciting.
Even a throwing kiss.
It's like "I turned it back."
It's cute.
Please leave your impressions of #AKB48 Singer No. 1 Decision Match on Twitter.
Thank you.
Let's move on.
Next is the screening of SKE48 members.
Here you go.
I'm Maika Sugiwa of SKE48. Nice to meet you.
As we passed each other's time, I met you.
It's strange that the miracle I wished for is so close to me.
As I want to see you, I can't see you.
As we passed each other's door, I remembered you again.
As we laughed with that person, I saw you.
My beloved person, don't make me sad.
There are nights when I'm tired of crying and falling asleep.
Don't look at the past and only look at me.
You're everything. You're everything.
I'm stronger and kinder than you think.
The one I want to cry for is you.
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48 Nojima Kano. 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 go home have a hot heart
At least from today, I will go on a journey alone
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There are people waiting for me
One 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 happiness
Taking along the song I sang as a child
Thank you very much
I'm Yamauchi Suzuran of Escape Hotel. Thank you very much.
I've never thought of you as a friend
Since the day I met you
Some things have changed
But the things that haven't changed
Are you and me
Until we couldn't see each other on the hot way home
Until we became really small
I loved you
Even now, even now
Summer hair cuts my cheek
As I age again, I'm sure I'll remember
Your shadow
My words
Waver, waver
Thank you very much.
I'm Shirai Kotono of sk48. Nice to meet you.
I crouched down on the messy floor, hugging my knees.
Promises that cannot be kept wither away.
dirty kogoshiteru
If a day like this comes, konna hi ga kuru nara
I wish we could hug each other, dakiaeba yokatta you to
miss you let's count your kisses miss you anata no kisu wo kazoemashou
If you remember each one hitotsu hitotsu wo omoidaseba
I wanted to be by your side more than anyone dare yori soba ni itakatta
without you, but you are mine without you, but you are mine
Let's find your kiss anata no kisu wo sagashimashou
Even though I touched you that close, anda chikaku ni sawareta no ni
I wish we had never met.
shiny day where you are mine
Thank you very much!
I'm Akane Takayanagi of SK48.
When did we start passing each other?
There were more and more things I wanted to say at the end,
but I couldn't say anything because I was about to cry.
I'm glad I fell in love.
That's what I thought for the first time.
The dream I drew 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 you to believe.
I'm glad I fell in love with you.
Even if we meet in loneliness,
Because each and every one of our memories
are alive.
Thank you very much.
I'm Yuka Asai of ske48. Thank you for having me.
If only I had known where I was born and if only I could gently touch and heal that wound...
My overflowing feelings of love will become the light that illuminates you.
It's so painful...
Even if I'm not there,
I'll gently hold you now.
Even if it's fate, I want to keep breathing and shining.
Even if it's a miracle, I believe I can make it happen.
I believed...
Thank you very much.
I'm Goto Arara of s.k.48. Nice to meet you.
Pushing up the sky, you reach out your hand towards 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 faintly colored, cute self's endless dream
The person who is in love with you, for hundreds of years
will one day tie themselves together, and the endless waves will properly stop.
I hope the person who is in love with you, for hundreds of years.
S.K.I.HOTEI and SHIREIKI KOHAKU. Thank you for having me.
Let's take a picture together
of this nostalgic scenery
I want you to look at me in the same pose as you did that day
As I look up at the blue sky,
the clouds pass by
Is it beautiful because there are beautiful things in the distance?
I'm glad I could come here with you as promised
If this feeling of being overwhelmed is not love,
I don't know what love is
With all my love, I accept this bouquet of flowers
Don't ask me why
Forget everything for now
Don't laugh and accept it
Don't be embarrassed
Thank you very much.
Now, AKB48 GROUP SINGING POWER NO.1 DECISIVE SK48 MEMBERS' FIRST SINGING TEST IS OVER.
First of all, Mr. Atsukawa, how was it?
Well, once again, the good thing about this project is that the members' real voices are transmitted directly.
It's usually hard to hear, isn't it?
It's hard to hear each and every singer's singing voice.
Now, let's ask the judges as well.
First of all, Mr. Nojima.
Yes, yes.
You know SKE, right?
SKE, yes.
You know Mr. Nojima, right?
Yes.
A while ago, on a certain program, there was a singing power contest like SKE.
I was called as a judge.
Yes, yes.
And a great actress was judging next to me.
Can I say it?
Yes, can I say it?
Ah, Ms. Niizuma, right?
I'm glad you said it.
Ms. Niizuma Seiko's...
Anyway, Ms. Niizuma's favorite singer is really Ms. Nojima, Ms. Nojima.
At the time of the election, I didn't have a good image of her.
"Don't you know how good she is?" There was something like that.
I found out today.
I knew it at the time, but I was singing a little brighter song.
This time, "Oh, is this it?"
Ms. Niizuma is looking at me now and saying, "I think it's a bad ending."
Yes, it was like, "Yes, you did it."
And...
Yes, is there anything else?
Lastly, Ms. Shirayuki.
Yes.
Even though you're white, you're blond.
No, it's not good to be black.
Ah, is that so?
In "Husky," I mix my voice after I sing.
But it's a voice after mixing.
Even if it's a finished voice, I want to be that voice.
Wow.
A ballad for that person...
It's an uptempo song now, but even in a ballad...
I felt like "Nobishiro" was amazing.
I see.
Now...
Mr. Sogawa.
Blond...
Is blond okay?
Blond...
Well, I was really interested in Ms. Suzuran Yamauchi.
Oh, what was it like?
She had a really unique voice.
She had a unique way of singing.
She took a completely different approach from others.
She was like an artist.
That's what I felt.
I see.
Now, let's move on.
Mr. Sato.
Yes.
All of you who sang "Husky,"
each of you had your own personality.
It was amazing to see how you sang.
Not only Ms. Nojima, but also Ms. Yamauchi.
Many of you had your own personality in love.
When I first heard Ms. Yamauchi's singing voice,
I felt like my heart was pounding.
That's right.
And Mr. Shirayuki, too.
I thought, "That's a voice I like."
But I think you had a high overall level.
That's right.
Thuri
Yes.
I like it.
It's like a singer.
That's right.
Even on Twitter, it's like a singer.
I think you'll win if you can sing the last two seconds of the song.
Wow!
The last part of the song is a little rough.
I hope it will be fixed.
You were wearing an outfit that you sang next to the piano, weren't you?
That's right.
You're thinking about that, too.
Thank you very much.
Now, we'd like to hear your impressions of this live broadcast and live broadcast.
#akb48 Singer's Power No. 1 Deciding Round
Let's take a look at the tweets.
What do you think?
What I'm seeing now is...
I think SKE did a preliminary round.
A preliminary round?
There were only eight people so far.
There weren't many people.
I think they did it with a strong impression.
We're waiting for a lot of tweets.
Now, about half of the second preliminary round has ended.
Now that the 40 judges have finished judging,
we will announce the top 20 of today's AKB48 Team A, Team K researchers, and SKE48.
If you don't make it to the top 20 of the 40 judges so far,
you will be eliminated from the preliminary round.
That's right.
What do you think?
That's how you say it.
What do you think?
I said it lightly.
It's important.
Top 20 of 40 judges.
That's right.
Now, who are the remaining members in the top 20?
Please look at this announcement during the collection.
Thank you for your patience.
This is the final round of the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round.
In the first half of the second day of the qualifying round,
we will announce the top 20 members of AKB48's Team A and Team K researchers and OSK48.
Yes.
So, how did you like it, Mr. Kishin?
No, no, it's fine.
But you know, yesterday's second half was a bit...
Yes.
I think we shouldn't give too many points from the beginning.
Yes, it's difficult to give points in the first half of the second day of the qualifying round.
Yes, it is.
So, I'm not sure if we can give enough points to the members we want them to sing one more time.
Even in the second half of the second day of the qualifying round?
Yes, I think so.
It seems like you're being tested.
Or you're not being tested.
Which one do you like better?
I don't know.
I think it was a difficult decision to make.
So, please announce the results.
Yes, I understand.
So, I'd like to announce the results from the 20th place.
20th place...
AKB48...

And 11th place... AKB48... Mukaichi Mio.
- And that's it. - Okay.
- Is everyone ready? - Yes.
And here we have...
What do you think, judges?
- What do you think? - Yes, Soga-san.
- Oh, me? - Yes.
Well...
I was a little worried about Mukaichi-san.
I thought she was a little higher up.
- That's right. - Yes.
- She had a nice voice. - Yes.
Sato-san, what about you?
Well, I also checked Mukaichi-san.
And I thought it was natural for her to be here.
Let's see...
- Hmm... - Let's keep talking.
Oh, yes!
Why can't we keep talking?
- Let's keep talking. - It's okay.
I'm relaxed now.
- It's okay for me to talk nicely. - Is that so?
- I won't check how nice you are. - Okay.
- Got it. - I won't judge you.
- Got it. - Okay, then...
- Shall we announce the 10th place? - Yes.
We will now announce the 10th place.
10th place.
AKB48 Sato Shiori.
9th place.
AKB48 Shimoguchi Hinana.
8th place.
AKB48 Sato Minami.
7th place.
SKY48 Shirayuki Kohaku.
6th place.
AKB48 Ohtake Hitomi.
And...
4th place has...
2 people.
4th place.
AKB48 Yahagi Moeka.
And 4th place.
AKB48 Yokoyama Yui.
And... top 3.
3rd place.
SKY48 Takayanagi Akane.
2nd place.
There are 2 1st place winners.
1st place SKY48 YAMAUCHI SUZURAN.
1st place SKY48 NOJIMA KANO.
That's it for today.
Let's start with you, Yamauchi-san.
Well...
The 2 1st place winners had almost the same score as me.
So it was hard for me to make a decision.
Yamauchi-san, in the second half of the match, you didn't play as well as you should have.
I was worried about that, too.
But you had a great voice.
So I thought you were in the top 10.
How about you, Sowa-san?
Well... I think I'm in the top 10.
I thought Yokoyama-san was in the 4th place.
I thought he was a little higher up.
I see.
Anything else you're worried about?
Like I said earlier, Yamauchi Suzuran had something that he couldn't change.
I'm glad he came up.
- His personality. - I'm happy for him.
- Suzuran looked like he had a cold. - Yes, he did.
- I see. - But I'm sure he's better now.
Then let's have him come up.
They're back at it again.
Noji is in first place again.
Seiko Niizuma is laughing at us again.
- Look at him. - I know.
- Amazing. - I wonder...
Hinano's last greeting was better.
I thought Minami would come up as well.
But I don't think we're in the same league.
You're in 11th place, and you're doing well, too.
I don't like being in the top 3, so I can't decide who's in 1st place.
- That's how it is. - That's how it is.
- It's still a preliminary match. - Yes, it is.
The top 3 are SKY48.
- Out of 8, only 3 are in the top 3. - That's right.
- That's amazing. - That's quite a lot of people.
- This is it. - The top 4 are divided into 4 and a half.
- That's right. - Yes, that's right.
- Kohaku Sumeiki... - Yes, that's right.
- And we have two researchers here... - That's right.
Yahagi and Otake...
- They're both new wrestlers. - What do you think, Yahagi?
- They're both super researchers. - Yes, they are.
They have a great sense of stability.
But if Yahagi wants to be in the top 3 from now on...
He needs to find his own way of singing.
He doesn't want to sound like the other wrestlers.
He wants to break the wall above him.
- How does he do it? - For example, singing from the other side.
- That's not what I meant. - That's just his style of singing.
He wants to sing like the other wrestlers.
In that sense, Minami Sato's singing style is very original.
- It's a good example. - Yes, it is.
If Yahagi wants to be in the top 3...
He needs to go on an adventure, not just sing like the other wrestlers.
- Is Suzuran the same? - Yes, it is.
Suzuran has a lot of weight in his voice.
We don't know what will happen until the mid- announcement.
We're looking forward to hearing from you, too.
This is the second half of the show, but we'll continue to broadcast live.
Please send us your thoughts and comments using the hashtag #akb48 and #singing powerno.1.
- What do you think? - Congratulations on your first mid-announcement.
I'm so happy that we finally found you.
- Are you a fan of Nojima-san? - Yes.
Yes...
Well...
I'm excited about all of you, including the fans of SKE.
I thought Churi was the biggest fan, but I'm happy for you, Kano-chan.
The fans of SKE are happy for you, too.
- I see. - Yes.
- We're looking forward to it. - Yes.
The first half of the show is over, and we'll move on to the second half of the show.
This is the second day of the show, and we'll move on to the second half of the show.
Next, we have Team B and Team 4 of akb48.
Let's have a look.
I'm Kitazawa Saki of akb48.
IN YOUR DREAM
I threw away everything and decided on you now.
I gave up half of myself thinking there would be no one left for me.
I want to stay by your side forever, feeling all of my shaking feelings.
I want to keep walking with you, like the blue sky we saw that day.
IN YOUR DREAM
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Kubo Satone. Nice to meet you.
In the dazzling morning, you smile and open the window.
Tell me about the beginning of the future I'm in.
I'll go out to the usual city again.
The two of us, who have been piled up and piled up,
are now shining, cherishing the spilled light.
Today, too, will someday turn into a dream for the two of us.
Someday, precious memories will shine through
both blue skies and crying skies.
I want to say "thank you" as I gaze at you,
but my right hand, which is connected,
awkwardly conveys my honest feelings.
Forever and only forever,
I want to laugh with you.
So that we can make sure of this path we believe in,
let us walk slowly now.
Thank you very much!
I'm Sasaki Yukari of akb48. Nice to meet you!
Hikaru ase T-shirt deatta koi
Dareyo ni mo kagayaku kimi wo mite
Hajimete no kimochi wo mitsuketa yo
Arata na tabi ga hajimaru
Ameagari kimakure aoi kaze
Tsuyoi hitsashi itsuka oikoshite
Korekara egaiteku koi no iro
Hajimari no peji inodoru yo
Uranai zasshi futatsu no hoshi ni
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.
I arrived after passing through many seasons
A place for both of us, after a journey that was too long
Let's cultivate the love we vowed
Lyrics and composition: Yamagoki
Thank you very much!
I'm Juri Takahashi of AKB48.
Thank you for having me.
Everyday I listen to my heart
I'm not alone
It's connected deep in my heart
Beyond endless time
A shining star
Tells me the miracle of meeting you
Everyday I listen to my heart
I'm not alone
Embraced by the sea of sky
What can I do with these hands of mine?
Let me touch the pain and close my eyes
Rather than losing my dream,
the sad thing is
not being able to believe in myself
If there is loneliness in order to learn love,
meaningless things will not happen.
Thank you very much.
I'm Takitaka Yoko from akb48. Nice to meet you.
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 in faint words.
If the song of love resonates, 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.
Don't say goodbye.
Tonight, I'm falling into a dream again.
Thank you very much.
I'm Chiui Nakanishi of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
It's already my third spring since I graduated.
As always, you have the same smile on your face.
I used to ride my bike all the way home.
Now I'm running while looking at the stars from my roof.
After I got out of the car and turned around,
you always turned on the brake lights and the fifth floor lights and said "I love you".
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 just like what I thought.
Thank you very much!
I'm Seina Fukuoka of AKB48. Nice to meet you!
Only your number can make me stronger
Like flowers blooming on asphalt
Don't be afraid of everything you see
Tomorrow will come for you
Why do you want to see me all of a sudden? What happened in the late night?
Even if you make a joke in a hurry, your smile is sad.
Look, the moonlight is above the building.
If you throw away the memories you're holding and pride, something good will happen again.
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.
Only the number of tears can make you stronger.
Like a flower swaying in the wind, believe in yourself.
Tomorrow will come at any time.
Tomorrow will come for you.
I'm Asai Nanami from akb48. Thank you for having me.
Hi, I wonder what you, who is reading this letter, are doing.
There is a seed of worries and worries that I can't tell anyone.
If it's a letter for myself in the future, I'm sure I can open it honestly.
I'm about to lose and about to cry and about to disappear.
Whose words should I believe and walk on?
My heart, which has only one, has been broken many times.
I'm living now in pain.
I'm living now.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kaori Inagaki, aka "b48".
"Thank you" I said as I turned over my old album
You're the one who always, always encourages me in my heart
Whether it's a sunny day or a rainy day
That smile that floats in the air
Even if my memories are far away
I'll look for it and bring it back to life
Whether it's a sunny day or a rainy day
That smile that floats in the air
Even if I'm in a hurry, even if I'm in a hurry
I miss you, I miss you
My feelings for you, yes, yes
I want to see you, I want to see you
I miss you, yes, yes
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Miyu Omori.
Thank you for having me.
I'm AKB48's Miyu Omori.
Thank you for having me.
On my way home, my breath is getting colder
Only the stars are wavering
Even the faint warmth I just confirmed
I'm about to forget how to love someone
Now that I've realized it for the first time
I was the one who cried
The constellations of winter were connected
I was staring at the sky
So it wouldn't disappear
I believe
Thank you very much.
I'm Nana Okada of AKB48 and STU48.
Thank you very much.
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 away everything
I'll catch my breath, cool my fingers
I'll go see you right away
Even if I'm not rewarded
Even if we're not connected
You are just a person of fate
When today ends
If you're by my side
I don't need a tomorrow
I'll stroke your hair and hold your shoulders
Until you fall asleep
Ah...
It's okay, don't worry
You whispered to me, as I was about to cry,
with a smile that never changes.
I can still do it, because you are always shining.
Sometimes I'm in such a hurry that I lose sight of you.
But I can't help it, because you are always watching over me.
With a smile on my face, I hug you like I always do.
I wonder how many times your smile has saved me.
Thank you, thank you, best friend.
Always, always, always, best friend.
I'm AKB48's Sato Kiara. Thank you for having me.
I want to engrave it in my heart
I don't want to forget it
I want to meet you and cry
I'm glad it all started with you
That's what I think from the bottom of my heart
I bite my lips and touch you with my fingers
I sat down and made sure of my kiss with you
My eyes got tired and stars started to fall
I got lost in my little room
Ah, let's get in the detrapot and aim for the ceiling
Let me blow you away with my lips
Ah, when you kiss me on my cheek
Our time stops
Ooh, I like you, ah, boyfriend
Thank you very much.
I'm Tachibihoteito Tachiama-kyo. Nice to meet you.
Pushing up the sky, I reach out my hand for you in May.
I want you to come, I want you to come all the way to Izugiwa.
I'll give you a bud, a garden leaf, and a swimsuit.
I hope your cute light purple 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.
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.
I want to get closer and meet you now. I love you so much.
When we hold hands, we feel warm. When we hate each other, we feel lonely.
Each and every one of them will lead you to the future.
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.
I'm Machalin of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
When I wake up, I'm always in the same scenery.
I can't even see the important things.
You taught me the meaning of life and happiness.
I think I'll be fine.
I want to see you now.
Your smile and everything that surrounds you.
I love you with kindness.
I won't get lost.
I'll always love you.
I'll always be by your side.
Thank you for watching.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, big hope, I won't forget.
I believe we will meet again in August ten years from now.
The best memories.
We met by chance at the crossing on the way home.
You called me out. "Let's go home together."
I was hiding my face in my bag, embarrassed.
Actually, I was very, very happy.
Ah, fireworks bloom beautifully in the night sky. It's a little sad.
Ah, the wind flows with time.
We were happy and had fun. We went on many adventures.
In our secret base.
You and the end of summer. Future dreams. Big hope.
I won't forget. 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.
You held my hand and smiled and said goodbye. It's sad, isn't it?
Best memories.
Thank you very much.
Yes, AKB48 GROUP SINGING POWER NO.1 FINAL AKB48 TEAM B and TEAM FOUR
17 members' singing evaluation is over.
So, Ichikawa-san...
Well...
As expected, Okada Nana-san's "Juicy Please" is amazing.
It's a great voice, isn't it?
But for me personally...
Takahashi Juri-san's...
"Jupiter"...
His entrance...
Yes...
His low voice...
It was good, wasn't it?
For a woman, it's hard to find a low-pitched voice like that.
She knows what she's good at, doesn't she?
Yes...
I'd like to ask the judges as well.
Ichikawa-san...
Yes, yes...
What did you think of it?
Well...
I don't like to advertise myself...
Yes...
At that time, I was doing a live show...
Yes...
Well, I was doing it for 500 to 50,000 people...
That's a lot of people!
Yes, that's right...
At that time, as a guest...
Occasionally, I came as a guest from the group...
Well, just now...
Kitazawa Saki-chan came as a regular guest...
Well...
Personally, I was looking at how and what kind of election I would do...
Well...
It was pretty good, wasn't it?
Also...
Churi...
No, no, it's not Churi...
Chiyori-san... Nakanishi...
Yes, Chiyori...
Yes, she came as a regular guest...
Well...
When she sang in my live show...
She sang several times better than me...
Yes...
What did you do?
Well...
I asked her to sing my songs...
Also...
Asai-san...
"Kamikoku Shibari"...
I mentioned it yesterday...
My...
Produce performance...
Yes, yes...
I was doing it...
There...
She played the saxophone...
Yes, yes...
That's why...
Singing...
Well...
It was my first time to listen to her singing in a solo performance...
But...
She has a great lung capacity...
So it was good...
Also...
Okada-san's...
"I am the queen" feeling is amazing...
Hahaha...
Well...
It's like...
I feel like there were a lot of people who were singing properly in this group.
And among them, there are people who have already started singing, but there is one person who has already started singing.
"Has already started singing"... It's used like "has already started singing", isn't it?
If there is one more person who hasn't started singing, it will get better.
- That's why it's called "tomorrow". - I see.
I think it will get better.
Mr. Sato, what do you think?
Yes, I think so. This team has a very high level.
Of course, I heard that Mr. Okada's presence is amazing.
I felt like he was singing his own song as his own song.
His skills are also high.
Besides that, I was a little worried about it.
I can hear all of Mr. Kamo's songs in Japanese.
I personally like it very much.
Listening to him singing in Japanese, I honestly like it very much.
Thank you very much.
Now, let's move on to the last group.
This is the longest block.
- The longest block. - Yes, it's the longest block.
This is Team 8. There are 28 candidates.
Please watch Team 8's singing ability assessment.
I'm AKB48's Nagisa Sakaguchi. Nice to meet you.
From the sky full of stars, you gently smiled and said, "It's like us."
I want to turn all of my little hope into shine.
We entrusted our dreams to the dazzling light.
Realizing I wasn't alone, my hands became stronger.
That voice you can't hear anymore makes me nod again.
If only I could shine through the night of sadness,
my wishes and feelings would dream of an endless sky.
If only for a moment I could shine,
my heart would now put its hands together for the spilled light.
I'm Yui Yokoyama from AKB48.
I'm dreaming of harvest day in midsummer.
Because I can't take a step forward because of blue fruits.
Yeah...
I want to fall down many times, baby.
Ah...
When you say "thank you"
It makes me sad.
Goodbye.
A magic that doesn't work anymore.
It's faintly bitter.
The more I wish and wish that I want to believe,
the more it makes me sad.
I love you.
More than that, I love you more.
It's not like you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Tanika Wajiri of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
Look ahead. This is the path you will walk on.
Look ahead. That is your future.
My mother gave me a lot of kindness.
Embracing love, I walked and repeated.
At that time I was still young and didn't know what it meant.
You held my hand like that and walked with me.
Sometimes I didn't like your kindness.
We were apart and I couldn't be honest with you.
Look at your feet.
This is the path you will walk.
Look ahead.
That is your future.
Thank you very much.
I'm Sato Nanami of akb48. Nice to meet you.
My proud is about to break and my passion is about to collapse.
I've always been looking for something to hold me back.
Why can't I dream honestly anymore?
There's no place like home in the city.
Love was spilling out of me.
As an adult rubs past a crowd, I reach out to invite them in.
As my experience increases, I can't avoid it anymore.
Even if I get lost, I'm proud of loving someone.
I felt like I couldn't see you, so I lived on.
Eyebrows seem like they'll reach you, but you can't grab them.
In this world, sweet and painful things float in my mind all night long.
One by one, they're disappearing.
I counted the lights in my house.
There's no place like home for me.
Tears were spilling out of me.
Thank you very much!
I'm Sato Akari of akb48.
The mirror also flutters back and forth in the morning.
It's been a long winter and now I'm here.
No matter how much I say it, it's not enough.
You loved me. You embraced me.
It was like a sunset.
Under the wide sky, even if we never meet again, I'll live on.
You loved me from the bottom of your heart.
Everything you loved me from the bottom of your heart.
Everything you embraced from the bottom of your heart.
It was like a sunset.
I'm Oka Berlin from akb48. Nice to meet you.
Watashi wa ima Minemi no hitotsu moshi wo miagete Chikatta Donna toki mo Hohoemi wo tayasanzu ni aruite
Yukou to Anata wo omou to

Dakedo ima wa Anata e no Being there is my pride
Watashi wa ima Anata e no, I'm laughing and crying just because it's true
Thank you very much.
I'm Aine Takahashi of a.k.a.b48. Nice to meet you.
In the future you drew, I'm not there, and that era isn't there either.
The two of us, who still had a little bit of scars, were looking for a continuation of our dream.
Ah, I thought it would color as I wanted it to.
I couldn't find an answer.
Even so, this world continues to spin.
The summer you gave me, I won't forget that miracle.
Hiding my overflowing feelings in that sunset, so fine, so fine, so fine, I noticed.
In the summer you were there, I couldn't put these feelings into words.
Ah, why are our two hearts separating? So fine, so fine, so fine, I couldn't reach you.
So fine, so fine.
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48's Yoshikawa Nanase.
Thank you for having me!
Thank you very much!
It started with "good morning" from you
It's a summer morning that doesn't feel like it, but
It's also happy
In a casual conversation
I get burned by your words
It's boring on rainy days
Studying for tests is bad
I'm the only one who knows
Before going to bed, a long phone call that continues without meaning
I can't always cut it off, so I put it together
Since when has my time with you grown?
Hey, my feelings are always swaying like that
Because I keep thinking about you
I'm thinking about what I should do next
How about you?
I want you to tell me
To you, who I cherish
Thank you very much.
I'm Oguri Yui of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
These feelings I gathered up until the last second
Every day that has piled up does not betray you
The dazzling sunshine turns into a sunset
It's shining on the time of youth that will never be repeated. It's shining on the time of youth that will never be repeated.
I love it when I chase your eyes that chase my dreams straight ahead
I want to cherish being with you now
Tears and smiles are proof that my tears and smiles have become vain
I'm proud of living with you like that
I'm always proud of you
Thank you very much.
I'm Oda Erina of akb48. Thank you for your support.
I wonder where you are and what you are doing
as you read this letter with your back to me
There is a seed of worries
hidden in this letter
If it's a letter for myself in the future,
I'm sure I can open it honestly
Now 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.
A.k.a.b.48, Hatsuka Utada. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me.
The sunset we saw on the crossing bridge
I loved you so much
It was beautiful, wasn't it?
You said you wanted to live here
You came all the way to this city by train
I still can't forget those days and I'm still alive
Even now, I still pray for you
When I go to the Yagmo shrine
If one of my wishes comes true
I want to go back to those days
This city where you said you loved it
The waves are still passing by today
A wide sky and distant mountains
The city we walked together
The sunset is beautiful in this city
Thank you very much.
AKB48, I'm Yoka Michiiri. Thank you for having me.
There is a reflection that cannot be hidden, and it has become ingrained in you.
Would you rather kill me than have someone take you?
A waterfall that sleeps and hides, a regular visitor to the waterfall.
Beyond my soaring and swaying shoulders, your mountain is on fire.
No matter what happens, it's enough No matter what happens, it's enough nani ga attemo mou ii no
A picture of my feelings that I want to overcome with you as I send off the day that burns in the dark.
Thank you arigatou gozaimashita
I'm akb48's hatto rino. Thank you for having me.
In the dazzling morning, you smile and open the window.
Tell me about the beginning of the future I'm in.
I'll go out to the usual city again.
We've been building up our days.
I'm collecting the spilled light and it's shining now.
Since some time ago, our dreams have changed.
Today, too, will be a precious memory someday.
I hope the blue sky and the crying sky will be clear.
I want to tell you "thank you".
I'm looking at you, but...
My right hand is connected.
I'm telling you my honest feelings awkwardly.
Forever and only forever...
I want to laugh with you.
I want to make sure of the path I believe in.
Now...
Let's walk slowly.
Thank you very much.
I'm Hikaru Hirano of AKB48.
Thank you for your support.
What do you wish for? Tell me gently.
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 can be heard, 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 tomorrow like I always do.
Don't say goodbye. I'm falling into a dream again tonight.
Thank you very much.
I'm Takai Sayaka of akb48.
Thank you for your support.
Thank you very much.
On my way home, my breath is getting colder
The stars are just swaying
I'm about to forget
Even the faint warmth I just felt
I realized for the first time
That I could love someone
I was the one who cried
The winter constellations connected
Disappeared into the sky
And I was staring at them like this
I believe
Thank you very much!
AKB48 Nagano Celica. Nice to meet you!
We don't know why we meet and why we part.
We don't know when we meet and when we part.
Where have you been? Have you lived?
Under the distant sky, there are two stories.
You are the vertical thread and I am the horizontal thread.
The cloth we weave may one day warm someone up.
You are the vertical thread.
People call meeting the person they are meant to meet "happiness".
A.k.a.b.48, Oto and Nao. Thank you for having me.
I'm getting dizzy, I show my face and disappear.
A child's voice, far, far away.
You must be somewhere in this sky.
At the end of summer, we escaped together.
I found you in this park.
I somehow remember that constellation.
Even if we can't meet, I want to follow my memories and see the same happiness.
With that scent, my eyelids open wide.
I want to go to you.
I want to run right now and go.
It's dark and I can't see anything.
I'm scared, but it's okay.
The countless starry sky is still here.
It's not bad.
Because it was a beautiful sky I saw with you in the past.
Thank you very much.
I'm Yama Motoruka of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long
I had work all of a sudden again
I couldn't always be with you
I made you feel lonely
When we can't meet, I can hear it from my phone
Your voice is fading
When we meet for the first time in a while
Your smile takes my heart away
I realized you're in my heart
I love you, but I can't say it
I can be honest with you when you're smiling
I love you, but I can't say it
Thank you very much.
I'm Momoka Onishi of a.k.a.b48. Nice to meet you.
Love is over
It's sad, but let's end it
Because there's no end
Love is over
There's no reason for it
There's only one
For you
Love is over
Young or old
You can say it with a smile
Because the time will come
Love is over
Don't cry, man
Hurry up and forget about me
I will never forget you
No matter who hugs you, I will never forget you
Because I think it's our last love
Love is over
I can be your shield
Softly in your heart
Love is over
One last thing
Don't deceive yourself
Thank you very much.
I'm Hama Saina, aka "b48". Nice to meet you.
Yes, I wonder what you, who is reading this letter, are doing.
There is a seed of worry that I, number ten, cannot tell anyone.
If it is a letter addressed to myself in the future, I will surely be able to open it honestly.
Now, I am about to lose, about to cry, about to disappear.
Whose words should I believe and walk on?
This one and only heart has been broken many times.
Now, I am living in pain.
Now, I am living.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Nakano Ikumi.
Thank you for having me.
Since the first night train from above got off,
Aomori station is covered in snow.
People returning to the north have no words
and only listen to the sound of the sea.
I was alone, too.
I got on the phone
and looked at the freezing ducks and cried.
The scenery of winter at Tsugaru Shrine.
Good-bye, my love. I'm going home.
The sound of the wind only shakes my heart.
Ah, scenery of winter at Tsugaru Shrine.
Thank you very much.
I'm Hitomi Kotone of AKB48.
Nice to meet you.
How much can we do in a limited amount of time?
I wonder how much I can convey to you my feelings that cannot be put into words.
You erased the pain in my chest that I had been locking up for so long.
The reason I can laugh now is because you cried with me.
I'm not alone, you protect me, so I can become stronger. I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
Time is soothing, passing along with the pain, and the sunlight gently shines on it.
Because you're not alone, because I'll protect you, because I want to see your smiling face,
Time is soothing, passing along with the pain, and the sunlight gently shines on it.
Thank you very much.
A.k.a.b.48, I'm Hieno Okumoto. Thank you for having me.
I'll listen to my favorite song by myself
Olivia will comfort my lonely heart
Jasmine tea is a medicine that invites you to sleep
I want to end my day like myself
When we met on a night like this
I didn't think this day would come
Making things better? No, it's just that we've spent time together
You, who were exhausted, loved my illusion
When we met on a night like this
I didn't think this day would come
Making things better? No, it's just that we've spent time together
over and over again.
You were exhausted,
but you loved my illusion.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Starmew. Nice to meet you.
The season I've always waited for with you
Passed by without saying anything
Rain falls on this city
A little regret and sin fall down
Enveloping me
As I swore not to cry, time passed
Without noticing my aching heart
In my memories of being alone
We can live forever
Your voice still echoes in my heart
It's a shadow of love wandering around
You cried alone
I couldn't see you at that time
I'm AKB48 Gyouten Irina. Thank you for having me.
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 flower bud, a garden leaf and a swimsuit.
I hope your cute light purple dream will come true.
I hope you and the person you love will last a hundred years.
I hope my endless waves will stop someday.
I hope you and the person you love will last a hundred years.
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48 Airi Rissen. Nice to meet you!
Let's take a picture together of this nostalgic scenery
I want you to look at me in the same pose as you did that day
As I look up at the blue sky, I see clouds passing by
Because there are beautiful things in the distance, they are beautiful
Just like I promised you, I'm really glad I came here with you
If these feelings I have for you aren't love, then I don't know what love is
With all my love, I'll accept this bouquet of flowers, even if it's too much
Don't ask me why, okay?
Just for now, forget everything and don't laugh
Accept it and don't be embarrassed
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Kaohara Misaki. Nice to meet you.
When I wake up, I'm always in the same scenery.
I can't even see the important things.
You taught me the meaning of life and joy.
I think I can say "maybe it's okay".
I want to see you right now with that smile.
So that everything that embraces you is filled with kindness,
I won't get lost and will continue to love you.
You're always by my side.
Thank you very much.
I'm Rei Fujizono of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
The uphill road leads to a dried up sky.
My back becomes smaller.
Without being able to find gentle words,
I kept waving my cold hands.
Someday we will all set off
and walk 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.
That's it for AKB48 Singer Power No. 1 final round day 2.
The last 28 members of the team have finished singing.
How was it?
It was a huge volume.
Yes, it was.
But, you know...
From an amateur's point of view...
It's not a song, but...
People who have their mouths wide open...
It's quite powerful.
Oh, yes.
You're trying to work on your voice.
So, Rissen...
Airi-san?
Rissen, yes.
She was the only one who had a huge volume.
It was coming towards me.
That's right.
The moment the three judges started singing Rissen's song...
Everyone was looking forward to it.
Were you?
Yes, I was conscious of it.
Please don't film me.
Okay, judges...
How was it?
Yoshima-san?
As for Yoshima-san's performance...
I was paying attention to Yuyo Yokoyama.
She was crying and smiling.
She has a strong personality.
So...
I want her to make her own songs and sing them.
I want her to build her own world.
As for Airi Oda...
She was singing with us just now.
I always wanted her to hit harder.
I want her to push through.
She has a good personality.
I want her to hold back a little.
Her singing voice can be a little irritating.
I want her to hit harder.
That's what she said today.
That's right.
How about you, Sugata-san?
Well...
Oda-san was good.
She was good from the beginning.
From the first word of the song.
As for Rissen-san...
Rissen-san...
I feel like she took it all away.
But...
This group...
How can I say it?
I felt like they had a lot of words.
When you look at their singing ability...
You look at their pitch and rhythm.
That's bad.
But I felt like they had a lot of words.
It was hard for me to rate them.
Should I rate them?
There were a lot of words like "no", "but".
Sato-san, what did you think?
It was fun listening to this group.
It felt like I was watching a show.
I enjoyed it.
But it's a judging show.
So I was looking at their pitch and everything.
It was really fun.
Rissen-san...
Your voice is so small on the monitor.
I see.
I want to hear you sing live.
I wanted to hear Utada-san's flute.
That's right.
Why didn't you play it live?
I want you to play your first flute.
I want you to play it.
The second round of judging is over.
We will announce the second place.
The members who are in the top 20 will be able to advance to the finals.
The top 20 and the top 40 will advance to the finals.
After this announcement...
We will announce the second place today.
Who will it be?
Please watch this announcement during the vote.
K-1 WORLD FINAL SHOWDOWN JAPAN

I thought I was the only one who chose a different person.
If Shirai sang one more song, I would have won.
And Mr. Ootake seems to be in the best 10.
I'm sorry to say this, but it's hard to predict what will happen in the future.
How about you, Mr. Sugai?
I agree with you.

Maybe we shouldn't do it on the 2nd.
We should do it on the 1st.

How about you, Mr. Sato?

What did you think of it?
It was very well done.
Mr. Okada's presence was outstanding,
so I think this result is certain.
Mr. Rissen and Mr. Oda also showed great performance,
and I thought it was well done.
How about you, Mr. Zoha?
They were slightly ahead of me,
but I'm glad I was able to come in 10th place.
That's right.
In terms of your judgment.
How about you, Mr. Yoshimatsu?
I mentioned it before,
it's a battle between Erina Oda and Okada.
It's a battle to see how far Erina Oda will go.
For Okada's defense.
I think there is a chance for those in 3rd and 4th place
to show their skills to Okada.
If they make it to the finals, they will show their skills on New Year's Day.
That's right. It's January 11th.
Okada is training hard.
So, that's it for now.
We introduced the 20th place.
Let's check again.
From the 20th place to the 1st place.
That's right.
Let me explain again.
These members and the top 20 that we announced earlier
will advance to the finals.
Let's see.
The top 15 members will advance to the finals without conditions.
There are only 5 members left.
Only 5 members are recommended by the judges.
It's hard to be one of the top 20.
Let's check the 1st place again.
These 20 members and today's 20 members.
The top 15 members.
Plus the 5 members recommended by the judges.
That's right.
There are only 15 members.
Even if they make it to the finals,
there is a chance for them to lose.
It's like a baseball game.
Even if you lose, you can still fight.
That's right.
What have we been doing so far?
What did you think of yesterday's match?
Is there anyone you were interested in?
Okazono.
Akashi.
Shiroma.
You didn't get to fight in that order.
You were the first one to come out.
The first one to come out.
The fans may have their own complaints.
But it's all fate.
Including where you will sing.
It's like that after the draw.
The game starts after the draw.
How about you two?
Someone you were interested in yesterday?
I was interested in Riko Sugawara.
She left an impression on me.
How about you, Sugawara-san?
I agree with you, Sugawara-san.
Her personality is different today and yesterday.
I think so, too.
She speaks differently.
Even if you didn't make it last night, you might have made it if you showed up today.
- That's possible. - It's fate, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
So, out of these 40 contestants, the final 15 will be decided.
And 5 more will be selected.
Yes.
I see. So you'll be selecting 5 more contestants.
- It's my last job. - It's your last job.
- It's time for me to go home. - No, no, no.
First of all, who will advance to the finals?
During the screening, we'll show you a short clip of the contestants who made it to the first day of the qualifier.
- Please watch it. - Yes.
Even now, I can't forget those days and I'm still alive.
Even now, I still pray for you at the Yagumo Shrine.
If only one of my wishes could come true, I'd like to go back to those days.
The cityscape you said you liked will fade away today as well.
A wide sky and distant mountains.
The city we walked together.
Hey you, hey you, don't cry, okay?
Try to remember me.
I'm clumsy, but now
I'm here because I want to accept everything.
Every step with you.
No matter what happens,
Even if you stumble,
Even if you get lost,
Baby you know,
Every step with you.
No matter how dark it gets,
Because you're right next to me,
It lights up our youth that will never come back.
I'm chasing my 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 clumsy I've become.
Being with you like that
I'm proud of it.
With my weak words.
Let me believe it.
If the song of love resounds,
light will shine in the gray night sky.
One by one, connect the light
to you in the distance.
Let me deliver it.
People who don't go home.
With a hot heart,
at least from today on,
I'll go on a journey.
Somewhere in Japan,
there is someone waiting for me.
Even if I don't have it, I'll follow my memories.
I want to see the same happiness.
With that scent, fireworks suddenly open.
I want to go to you.
I want to run to you right now.
It's pitch black and I can't see anything.
I'm scared, but it's okay.
As promised,
I'm glad you came here.
If this feeling is not love,
I don't know what love is.
With love, I received a bouquet.
Don't ask me why.
Forget everything for now.
Don't laugh and accept it.
Don't be shy.
You cried with me.
Because you were there.
Because you're not alone.
Because you protect me.
I can be strong.
I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
Time is lining up.
It flows with pain.
Your light gently shines on me.
I chase my dream straight.
I love your eyes.
I want to cherish being with you now.
Your tears and your smile
are proof that you've become brave.
I'm proud of myself
for living with you like me.
I don't know why.
Even after half a year,
you still don't hold my 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.
The red sweet pea flower that bloomed in my heart's crevice
I love you more than anyone I've met until today
You, you don't cry do you?
Try and remember
I, I may be clumsy but right now
I want to accept everything and that's why I'm here
I will stay with you
Even if something happens, even if you stumble, even if you get lost
Baby you know I will stay with you
No matter what darkness you're in, I'll be right next to you
As you struggle to draw tomorrow
Go into your dream now
The shapeless shine
Gently, gently
Embraces you as you move forward
On a winter night with low clouds
You died like a dream
"Let's go to the sea again this year," "Let's watch a lot of movies," I promised you, didn't I?
You, I promised you, didn't I? I want to see you
You are my end and I am your beginning
One day I might warm someone up and sell them
Even now, I look up at the sky like it's about to cry and think of you
Ah, ah, ahoy
Even on nights without you, I don't even cry at night
"Because you're working hard," you say, "Because you're getting stronger," you say
I want to go to you
I want to run to you right now
It's pitch black and I can't see anything
Even if I'm scared, it's okay
Your light purple eyes
I hope your endless dream comes to an end
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years
Look, look at your feet
This is the path you walk on
Look, look ahead
That's your future
I'm chasing my dream straight ahead
I love your eyes
Being with you like that
I want to cherish it now
Tears and smiles are proof that you've become reckless
If you make up for your love, you'll say goodbye
But don't forget, even for a woman like me
You're too kind, you're like a child
Tomorrow we'll be strangers, but...
Thank you for waiting.

What do you think of this result?
I'm sorry...
Why do we have to apologize?
We've been choosing seriously for 2 days.
Some of you may not like it.
But I hope you'll enjoy it.
I'm sure a lot of people will like it.
But even though we chose 20 people,
we were surprised to see so many people.
We didn't know if we'd lose those people.
It's a tough world.
It's fun.
What will we do with those people?
It's not about what we'll do with them.
I'm looking forward to what will happen in the finals.
How about you, Mr. Okada?
It's a very high level.
We were chosen from within.
We didn't know we'd lose from here.
We were all surprised.
But, well...
I'm satisfied with the top spot.
I can't do anything about it.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Sato-san, what do you think?
All of them have one point each.
It was a very high-level fight.
No matter where you listen to them, they all have wonderful singing voices.
Thank you very much.
Now, let's move on to the judging panel.
I'd like to announce the panel of judges.
I'd like to announce the six members chosen by the judges.
Now, I'd like to announce the panel of judges.

stu48 kadowaki miuna
Next, our third contestant.
akb48 Otake name
Our fourth contestant.
akb48 Yahagi Moeka
Our fifth contestant.
ska48 Shirayuki Kohaku
Our sixth contestant.
nmb48 Hakuba Lil
That's all for today.
Let's leave it up to the judges.
Let's start with Sato-san.
How did you like it?
I was really worried about this.
I was really thinking about what to do.
Of course, I consulted with both of you.
But I wanted to see you again.
Is there anyone in particular you were particularly interested in?
Well, Shiroma-san...
Oh, Shiroma-san.
Shiroma-san, and Miru-san are really wonderful.
I was impressed.
And Shirayuki-san, too.
I honestly wanted to see you again.
Shiroma-san.
Sobata-san, how about you?
Well, there's only about a month left until the main line.
I considered how much growth I could see during that time.
For example, I thought about what would happen if a researcher like Yahagi-san tried really hard.
I thought about that as I chose my card.
Thank you.
Now, Yoshimatsu-san.
Well, since you two chose your cards last...
I'm trying to avoid responsibility.
No, no, no.
Well, some people chose their cards low because of yesterday's low score.
And some people are just in a hurry to revive their cards.
Shiroma-san might be one of them.
NMB was really fast.
That's one of the reasons.
As I said earlier, it's only about a month.
Aren't you going to play the same song?
Are you going to play the same song?
Oh, I see.
That's why I wanted to listen to a different song.
If you're watching this right now, you might want to listen to what NMB said and change it to a faster song.
I chose NMB because I wanted to see their growth.
But if you think this song is the best for you, you'd like to play it again, right?
Of course.
Yes.
That's what I think.
Is it difficult for you?
Choosing a song like this?
I guess so.
I have to think about how I'm going to play it.
But it's fun.
Well...
Life is not fun.
But I think you'll see a great performance next year.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Are you the last 21 people?
Yes, I'm the last 21 people.
Let's see.
I'm really looking forward to it.
I hope you'll play the flute.
Here?
I'll play the flute in a day.
Why do you want me to practice playing the flute?
I'll play it in person.
I don't know if I can play it well or not.
That's right.
How many people sang "Sweet Pea"?
Let me see...
It's like a song-song competition.
Eren Sakamoto and Wataru Zebashi sang it, too.
That's right.
That's what it looks like.
If you don't mind, I'd like you to play the piano next year.
There were 155 people who asked me to play the piano in the women's competition.
Leave it to me.
You said it.
I wonder if I can play it.
The sound of the piano is loud.
Today, fans sent us a lot of messages on Twitter.
Are there any?
I'm glad I was chosen by Natsu and Mirurun for the judges' recommendation.
I'm glad, too.
That's right.
Is Shirayuki Honi looking at us?
She's looking at us.
What color of hair will she have?
I see.
I don't know.
She must have been very nervous.
We're in the same group.
We're in the same age range.
Oh, we had a match.
What song did Hony Shirayuki sing?
“Superfly”?
"Superfly", right?
Or maybe she sang a ballad song.
I'd like to ask her about that.
This is the final round of the AKB48 Group Singers' No. 1 Deciding Round.
We've been here for two days.
But it's over now.
Thank you for your hard work, judges.
Thank you for your hard work.
No, no, no.
We're the happiest people here.
Thank you for your hard work.
21 members have decided to advance to the finals.
Next year, on January 11th, they will challenge for the finals held at Akasaka Act Theater.
The final round will be sung live in a full band.
The winner will be presented with an original solo song by Yasushi Akimoto.
As you can see, the final round will be broadcast live on CBS Broadcasting and TBS Channel One.
The final round will be held for free and will only be broadcasted on the show.
Tickets are not for sale.
For more information about how to apply for the final round, please visit our website.
So, once again...
It's January 11th, after all.
Yes.
Judges, do you have any advice for the members who will challenge for the finals?
Advice, huh?
For the sake of the members who were eliminated here,
if you had a month, you could have done better.
For example, even if you had chosen today, you could have stretched your buttocks a little more.
You could have done better.
If you could have done that perfectly,
next time you will be singing in front of an audience.
I think you will be able to show your true skills then.
I will be standing in front of you.
You will be standing in front of me.
That's where the true king will be decided.
Don't put too much pressure on yourself.
Just enjoy yourself.
I know I said it a while ago, but I want you to show your true skills and sing.
Singing in a full band might be a good idea.
It might be a good idea.
How about you two, Mr. Sowa?
I think you should show your true skills more and more.
Like I said earlier, I think you should think about what you should do with what you have.
I see.
With that said,
AQB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 has been decided.
This has been a live broadcast of the preliminary round.
It's about time we say goodbye.
Thank you for joining us for the past two days.
Let's meet again in the finals.
Thank you very much!
