AISubs v3.5
Now, the first round of the final round of the second AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round has begun.
We will broadcast it live from the TBSG studio!
Thank you for having me. I'm Yusuke Wagayu, and I'll be your host for today as well.
I'm Yumiko Kobayashi, and I'll be your host for today as well.
This is the second time that we will have a battle to decide who has the most attractive singing voice in the AKB48 group.
We have 135 candidates for this battle.
Out of them, 20 will advance to the finals.
We will have a preliminary screening for today, tomorrow, and two days later.
Mr. Sawaga, what do you think of the highlights of this battle, which is the second time?
First of all, we don't have a winner of all battles yet.
That's right.
Ms. Kano Nojima of the AKB48 group is very attractive in her musical-like song "Anayuki".
She was the champion of that song, but she's not here this time.
That's right.
So, we don't know what will happen next.
And there are quite a lot of researchers.
I'm sure there are many of you who don't know.
I hope you can find some clues or something like that.
In addition, Ms. Minami Minegishi of the AKB48 group, who wasn't in the last battle, will be participating in this battle.
Is it really okay?
If it's about Ms. Minegishi, there's a possibility that she's a senior singer.
She has a lot of experience.
Yes, please look forward to it.
Now, let's introduce the judges who will be judging this time.
First of all, we offer songs to many artists, such as Nogizaka46 and Yusuke.
In addition, in Ms. Kuwata Keisuke's live performance, Mr. Sato Kahun, a singer-songwriter who participates as a chorus.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Next, she majored in musicals at the University of Music.
She played the role of Pando's sister for seven years with her mother on NHK's program.
Thank you for your cooperation.
And finally, in the first singing power No. 1 final round, she was in charge of qualifying judging.
In addition, in the final tournament and finalist live, she worked as a bandmaster.
She is Mr. Sato Yudai, a keyboardist.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Now, we will have the three of you in charge of qualifying judging, so thank you for your cooperation.
Thank you for your cooperation.
By the way, Mr. Kahun, have you ever judged before?
No, it's my first experience and I'm the most excited.
That's right. I feel nervous all the time.
When I think about the future activities of the members, I get excited.
I feel nervous all the time.
It's a long process, so you should relax to some extent.
The second half is getting crazy.
How about you, Ms. Uyagara?
I've never judged before, so I think I'm more nervous than you are.
I think so, too.
Are you nervous?
I used to sing in college, but I've never judged before.
I don't think I'm in a position to do that, so I'll do my best to play this role.
Thank you for your cooperation.
If you're worried about anything, it's my second time.
Thank you for your cooperation.
How many judges did you have?
Judges?
Yes.
One hundred?
Yes, one hundred and thirty.
One hundred and thirty-five judges.
We had about that many judges last time, too.
That's right.
This time...
Well, I tried it last time and I'm going to judge it again this time, of course.
I'm going to divide it into several points.
First of all, simply good pitch, good rhythm, technical things like that.
And...
Well...
Performance?
Yeah.
How you sing, where you look at when you sing, where you look and where you touch...
And...
What, what, what?
What kind of words are you choosing to say?
You've been judging for 8 hours straight for such a long period of time.
Why did you fail for the second time?
- Thank you. - I'm looking forward to receiving this kind of punishment.
Yes, we'd like you to judge for us.
Please tell us the rules of this preliminary judging.
Yes, judges will watch each group's virtual VTR and judge for us.
In today's VTR, there will be 67 people watching STU-48, SKE-48, HKT-48, and NGT-48.
Tomorrow's VTR will feature AKB-48 and NMB-48.
Judges will be judged for 100 points each and 300 points in total.
Based on these points, 20 people will advance to the next round in today's VTR and 20 people will advance to the next round in tomorrow's VTR as well.
During these two days of preliminary judging,
15 people will advance to the final tournament which will be held at TBS's Akasaka Act Theater on October 31st.
As for the remaining five people, judges will consult with each other and decide on their own.
- Can I confirm one thing? - Yes.
- You all have a schedule for the day of the final tournament, right? - Yes.
- There were people who couldn't make it to the final tournament. - I see.
- Well, judging might be like that. - Yes.
- I'm saying your name. - Yes.
There were people who couldn't make it to the final tournament and made it to the final tournament.
- Is it okay this time? - Yes.
And for the winners of this second tournament, we have a wonderful prize for you.
The winners will receive an original solo song produced by Yasushi Akimoto sensei.
- It's a solo song, right? - This is where we get excited.
In addition, for the members who made it to the best eight in the final tournament,
we are also planning to hold a finalist live performance with a full band.
- We also got excited last time. - Yes.
- Yes, thank you. Oh, you're here, Yudai-san. - I'm the band.
- Oh, you're the band. - Yes, I'll do my best this time as well.
- Yes, thank you for coming. - Thank you for having me.
- Now, once again... Well, I asked you earlier, Yudai-san, but... - Yes.
- What is your judging point? - Yes.
- Well, I'm also singing right now... - Yes.
- So, first of all, it's how my voice comes out. - Yes.
- When I'm singing without thinking too much about it... - Yes.
- I think it's most important that my voice comes out properly.
- Also, I'd like to see if the words are clear... - Yes.
- Or if it's a song that's conveyed well. - Yes.
- Yes, thank you. What about you, Uehara-san? - Well...
- I used to take a musical course, so... - Yes.
- I'd like to see how you sing and whether you enjoy singing. - Yes, thank you for having me.
- Now, let's begin. - Yes.
- I'd like to start judging your vocals. - Yes.
- First of all, it will be the judging of 18 members of STU48. - Yes.
- Viewers, please give us your impressions and opinions of the live broadcast, and please tweet us with the hashtag #akb48vocalpowerno.1. - Please do!
- Now, let's begin the vocal judging of STU48. - Please do!
- Let's begin!
- I'm Chiha Ishida of STU48. Pleased to meet you!
On the way back home, we joked around as we walked.
For no reason at all, I made you angry.
I wanted to see all kinds of faces of yours.
Your big eyes and your voice like you're about to cry
still tighten up my heart.
As we passed by each other, I ran after you.
I was looking for something that wouldn't change.
I won't forget you from that day.
I have feelings that transcend time.
I want to see you right now.
I was looking for something I couldn't lose.
I won't forget you of that day.
I have feelings that go beyond time.
I want to see you right now.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kanon Esagai of STU48. Nice to meet you.
The sunset we saw on the bus, you loved it so much
"It's so beautiful here", you said
"I want to live here" you said
You came all the way to this city by train
Even now, I can't forget those days and I'm still alive
Even now, I still pray for you every time I visit a shrine
If one of my wishes comes true, I'll go back to those days
This city where I said I love you
It's getting dark again today
A wide sky and distant mountains
The city we walked together
A city with beautiful sunset
Thank you very much!
I'm Imomera Mitsuki of stu48. Nice to meet you!
I closed the door of our room
and said goodbye to my memories
Since then, half a year has passed and it's finally over
I'm busy every day
I'm walking my own new life
I want to see you, I want to see you
On sleepless nights, I think of your warmth, that warmth
I gently close my eyes and whisper "I love you"
I love you
Thank you very much!
I'm Ohtani Marina from st.quartet. Thank you very much!
The strength of the wind shook my heart a little too much
You looked at me seriously and I missed you
I pretended to be pitiful in the days of turning over
But the light of hope is shining in front of me all the time
I'm happy
You in a straw hat look like a swaying marigold
The sky was still blue in summer
I laughed and said how nostalgic that day of love was
"Don't leave me anymore" you looked at me with tears in your eyes
I won't let you go with a gentle hug like a cloud
"Ah, words like 'I love you' aren't enough" I said and kissed you
Because clouds still leave their shadows
Forever and ever, I won't let you go like this
I'm Estee Faute and I'm Oki Yuka. Thank you for having me.
Your back is flying in the sky, free from the clouds.
Even the square letters lined up in your notebook seemed like a light that illuminated everything.
I didn't know the feeling of love.
This time that will never come back taught me its meaning.
I'll engrave the days I spent with you in my heart.
So that it's okay even if I don't remember.
Even if I fall in love with someone else someday,
you'll always be special and precious to me.
This season will pass again.
Thank you very much.
My name is Kaiko Kawa of stu48.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, why do you look so sad?
Even though the sky is so bright and blue
Since when did I start holding hands with you?
You won't hold me back, will you?
If I could say anything, would I be able to go back to that day?
Even if my heart is filled with only anxiety
Even if I cry, even if I cry, won't you disappear?
I love you, I love you, I need you
I want you to love me forever, like you did back then
Even if my wish won't come true,
will these feelings always reach your heart?
I love you, I love you, I need you
Why did you take away only my heart?
If it's a wish that won't come true,
please tell me...
goodbye
Thank you very much!
My name is Kada Akimura and I'm in my 48th year of ST. Thank you for having me!
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?
It doesn't seem like it, and it might not be like it.
I can't help it if you're alone,
We said we weren't afraid of each other, didn't we?
You don't cry, do you?
Try to remember.
I'm clumsy, but now I want to accept everything.
That's why I'm here.
I will stay with you.
No matter what happens and we stumble and get lost.
Baby you know I will stay with you.
No matter what darkness there is, you know I will stay with you.
You know I will stay with you.
Thank you very much!
I'm Miyu Sakaki of stu48. Nice to meet you!
Tomorrow, I feel like I can go back to how I used to be
Looking up at the sky, please don't say goodbye
Tonight, I'm falling into a dream again
Thank you very much!
I'm S.T.40 and I'm Soraha Shinano. Nice to meet you!
Butterfly, today is now...
With a red thread more wonderful than snow...
We're connected into a circle of light...

More beautiful than you've ever been...
With white wings, we'll fly...

STU48's "Shintai no naka" Thank you in advance.
Someday, heading for the northern sky,
when I shout out the dreams of the past days,
people who won't go home will swim with a passionate heart.
At least, from today, I'll go on a journey alone.
Ah, somewhere in Japan,
there are people who are waiting for me.
Someday, heading for the sunset,
I'll sing a song that I heard from my mother's back on my way home.
There's someone waiting for me.
On a good day, I set out in search of happiness.
I'll sing a song that I sang as a child on my way home.
My name is Takino Emiko and I play the role of Steve in the film "Steve 48".
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 Missouri.
I'll give you a bud, a garden leaf, and a swimsuit.
I hope your faintly colored and cute 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 properly end.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
My name is Taniguchi Mohina and I play the piano for ST48.
Thank you very much.
If my wish could come true
Survive your long-distance breath and turn into roses
On days when we can't meet, let's decorate it above the room.
thinking of you
Darling, Ai Wongchun, I miss you
I feel like I'm about to run into a thrilling love
stand still like a lost child
I want to deliver me right away
I turned the dial, stopped.
I Just Bowman, Foley Love
Darling, Wongchun, right now
I want to hear your voice
Even if I hold my cheeks with both hands
I hate the night that touches my cheeks
I turned the dial, stopped.
I Just Bowman, Foley Love
I turned the dial, stopped.
Fall in love
Thank you very much.
I'm Toro Berry of STU48. Nice to meet you.
It's not because I'm weak that I can't show you my weakness.
It's because you told me so.
I believe.
On my way back 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 how much I love you
Now that I've realized it for the first time
I was the one who cried
It's because of the winter when we were connected
I was watching you
So you wouldn't disappear from this sky
I believe...
Thank you very much!
My name is Mai Nakamura of stu48.
Thank you for your support!
Haruiro no kisha ni notte, umi ni tsurete ite yo.
Tabako no nioi no shatsu ni, sotto yorisou kara.
Naze, shiriatta hi kara, hantoshi sugite mo,
Anata atte, te mo nigiranai.
I will follow you, anata ni tsuite yukitai.
I will follow you, choppiri, but
Suteki na hito dakara, kokoro no kishibe ni saita.
I love red sweet peas more than anyone I've ever met.
I will follow you, I like the way anata is going, I can't go home like this, I can't go home.
On days when spring has arrived in my heart, there are red sweet peas.
My name is Hyodo Aoi and I play the piano for STU48.
We met here for the first time two months ago, didn't we?
You didn't even know how to kiss me yet, my first sweet girlfriend
You gently pointed out to me last night, asking me "what day is it today?"
"What day is it today?" I asked you, a little confused, but you answered
You smiled and said it was your ex-boyfriend's birthday
You smiled and said it made me want to cover my ears
The three years you spent with him still don't count as memories
Even though I love you so much, there are too many misunderstandings
Instead of repeating this any longer,
until your heart responds,
it's better for us not to meet
Even if it's tomorrow or five years from now,
I'll still be waiting for you here,
so let's make a promise
And let's tie a red thread around our hearts
I'm STU48's Mineoshi and I'm Risa.
I want you to tell me about your precious you.
It started with "good morning" from you.
It's a casual summer morning, but it's also happy.
In the middle of a casual conversation,
I'm fascinated by your casual words.
It's boring on a rainy day.
My test grades are bad.
I'm the only one who knows about it.
Before I go to bed, I can't stop calling you.
I can't stop calling you.
That's why I put you and me together.
Since when did I start spending more time with you?
Hey, my feelings always shake like that.
Because I keep thinking about you all the time.
I want you to be next to me like this from now on.
Because I'm thinking about you.
I want you to tell me about your precious you.
Thank you very much!
My name is Moeha Morishita and I play the piano for city48.
Thank you for listening!
The snow began to fall, erasing my footprints.
In this pure white world, I'm all alone.
The wind whispers in my heart,
At this rate, it won't work.
I was confused and hurt. I couldn't tell anyone about it.
I was worried about it, but I should stop now.
I'll show you who I really am.
I'll be myself as I am.
I'm not afraid of anything.
I'll blow the wind and it won't be cold at all.
Thank you very much.
Yano Honoka with Estee Lauder. Thank you.
Yuzuku yo, kao dasu kieteku kodomo no koe
Tooku tooku, kono sora no dokoka ni kimi wa irun darou
Natsu no owari ni futari de nukedashita
Kono kouen de mitsuketa ano seiza
Nandaka oboeteru, aeranakutemo kioku wo tadotte
Onaji shiawase wo mitainda
Anokaori to tomoni hanami opens up
Ikitai yo, kimi no tokoro de
Imasugu kakedashite ikitai yo
Makura de nanimo miezu, kowakutemo daijoubu
Kazoekirenai hoshizora ga
Ima mo zutto koko ni arun dayo
Nakanai yo, mukashi kimi to mite
Kirei ne sora dattakara
Thank you very much.
Well, first of all, you did a singing evaluation of 18 members of stu48.
So, how was it?
Mr. Kabu.
Yes, well...
First of all, like this...
- Overall... - Overall...
I'm doing this evaluation for the first time.
I started doing something amazing.
Amazing...
- It was an amazing battle. - I sat in an amazing place.
I thought like that.
But I was surprised that each of you had so many individualities.
Some of you sang very well.
Some of you made me want to ask you more.
It was very interesting.
Can I ask you?
- Really? - Which members?
- Can I say their names? - Sure.
Personally, I liked the voice of the first top batter, Chiho Ishida.
- Her voice was very cute. - Cute...
It made me want to see her singing alone in a live performance.
- That's what I thought. - Cute...
Thank you very much.
- How about you, Ms. Uehara? - Yes.
For me...
Ms. Arisa Minyoshi's voice was very cute.
It reminded me of an anime song.
It made me wonder if she was suitable for being a voice actress.
Also, it made me happy just by looking at her.
- Her choreography was very interesting. - Yes, it was.
I could feel her happy feelings.
Thank you very much.
How about you, Mr. Yudai?
- Let me see... - Yes.
I had a chance to judge them last time.
Some of them said it was their second time.
But I could see their growth.
Sometimes, it made me happy.
- That's what I felt. - Can you name some of them?
There are quite a few of them.
But I liked the middle range of their voices.
- The voice of the 12th batter, Mr. Taniguchi. - Mr. Taniguchi.
As for me...
I don't think there are many middle-range voices.
But I like them.
- Of course, there are many more. - Yes.
I see. There are many more.
Let's see some comments from viewers on Twitter.
Here is the first comment.
Mr. Yano is one of the best batters in Seto Inland.
He is one of the best batters in Seto Inland.
- Last time... - He finished scoring some points.
- Last time... - He was 7th in the final.
- Yes. - Yes.
- That's true. - Yes.
- Yes.
How about you, Mr. Yano and Mr. Yudai?
Did you notice any changes?
First of all...
His courage.
I could tell that he was very confident.
As for technical aspects...
The dynamics are...
I recorded the sound.
But you can feel the dynamics even through headphones.
There is a three-dimensional effect.
As for me...
I think he has improved.
You two are nodding.
Did you notice anything?
- How about you, Mr. Kato? - Yes.
His singing was very solid.
I could feel his emotions.
- I'm glad about it. - Thank you.
Let's look at another tweet.
Ari-chan, isn't it pretty good? It might come.
The song selection is perfect, too.
While watching it, Kobayashi-san said, "It's like her song."
I thought it was my song.
- Thank you for your comments. - Thank you.
Now, let's go back to the singer selection.
Next up is "escape 48".
It's a singer selection for 16 people.
We'll be right back.
I'm Ishiguro Yuzuki from SKE48. Thank you for having me.
The wind's strength shakes my heart a little too much.
You looked at me seriously and I missed you.
I pretended to be pitiful in the days of turning back.
I tried to cover it up, but the light of hope is shining in front of me all the time.
I'm happy.
The straw hat you're wearing looks like a swaying marigold.
The sky is still blue and it's summer.
The love of that day when we laughed and said we missed each other.
Don't leave me anymore.
I look at you with tears in my eyes.
I hug you gently and don't let you go with kindness like a cloud.
"I love you" isn't enough, so I kiss you.
The clouds still leave their shadows, so I won't let you go like this forever.
I won't let you go like this forever.
Thank you very much.
I'm Yoshino Kitagawa from sk48.
Thank you for having me.
You look sad, your voice disappears far, far away
I wonder if you're somewhere in this sky
At the end of summer, we escaped together
That constellation we found in this park
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 suddenly open
I want to go to you
I want to run away 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
Don't cry
Because it's a beautiful sky like the one we saw together in the past
Thank you very much!
I'm SKE48's Sugiha Maika. Nice to meet you!
Hey, why do you look so sad as you look down?
Even though the sky is so bright and blue
Since when did I start holding hands with you?
You won't hold me back, will you?
What did you say to me?
Can we go back to those days?
My heart is filled with only anxiety
Even if I cry, even if I cry, it won't disappear
I love you, I love you, I need you
I want to be loved forever
Even if my wish won't come true like that time
Are these feelings always reaching your heart?
I love you, I love you, I need you
Why did you steal only my heart?
If my wish won't come true...
Tell me goodbye
Thank you very much.
I'm Yamauchi Suzuran of SK48. Nice to meet you.
Sorry for making you wait
I had work again all of a sudden
I couldn't be with you all the time
Sorry for making you feel lonely
When we can't meet, I can hear it from my phone
Your voice is hoarse
When we meet for the first time in a while
Your smile takes my heart away
I realized that you are in my heart
I love you, but I can't say it
I can be honest with you when you are smiling
I love you, but I can't say it
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48's EGO YUNA.
Thank you for having me.
Your back running on the ground
Flew in the sky, freer than clouds
Even the letters lined up in my notebook
Seemed like a light that illuminated everything
I didn't know how to say "I love you"
This time that will never come back
Taught me what it meant
The days I spent with you, I'll engrave them in my heart
So that it's okay even if I don't remember
Even if I ever fell in love with someone else
You will always be special and precious
And this season will continue to pass
Thank you very much.
I'm S.K.48's Kotono Shirai.
Thank you for having me.
I love you.
Give me a kiss.
When the bell rang, I heard a rattling sound.
"This is the morning signal you always give me," you said.
Hey, you're always up and about in class, aren't you?
I love seeing you like that.
The number of words I want to say is increasing.
I knew you were special.
My feelings are getting bigger and bigger.
Ah, I feel like I'm going to be crushed.
I can't get anything out of my head.
I want to see you, but I can't see you.
My heartbeat won't stop.
Even if I suppress my frustrated feelings,
I want to see you, but I can't see you.
In the end, we're entangled in love.
I'm alone and I trip and fall.
I can't stop now.
Hey, listen. I like you.
I love you.
Give me a hug.
Thank you very much.
I'm Akane Takayanagi of the S.K.E. Houteito. Thank you for having me.
How are you doing?
Did you meet someone important?
Will your dream come true someday?
At the end of this road
Do you remember?
The swaying wheat field
I kept searching for the sky along the horizon
Struggling to draw tomorrow
Now into my dream
The shapeless shine
Gently, gently
Embracing it
Moving forward
Thank you very much.
I'm Sato Kaho of sk48. Nice to meet you.
I wonder where you are and what you are doing
when you are reading letters with background languages
There is a seed of worries
If you write letters to yourself in the future
I'm sure you can open them honestly
I'm 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
In the midst of suffering, I'm living now
I'm living now
Thank you very much.
Yes, I'm SKE48 TANI MARIKA. Nice to meet you!
When you're sad, you open the page on the side of the page.
The person in the graduation photo has kind eyes.
When I saw you in the city, I couldn't see anything.
Because the face of the graduation photo remained the same.
I'm being washed away by people's garbage and changing.
Sometimes you scold me from a distance.
Don't forget how you lived at that time.
You are my youth itself.
Thank you very much!
SK48, nice to meet you!
Even if ideal reality changes with a click of light,
I won't become Adam and Eve, who are far away from the future of Earth.
If only I could gently touch and heal those wounds
Overflowing feelings, love is the light that illuminates you
To the point of being painful
Even if I'm not there in the future,
I'll gently hold you now
Even if it's fate, I want to draw you closer and continue to shine
Even if it's a miracle, I want to believe that I can wake you up
I want to believe
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48 Ara's Himeka. Nice to meet you.
I'm SKE48 Ara.
I've never once thought of you as a friend.
Since the day I met you, things have changed.
There are more things that haven't changed between you and me.
Until I couldn't see your hot way home, until you became really small,
I've always loved you.
Even now, even now.
Summer hair cuts my cheek.
As I grow older, I'm sure I'll remember your shadow.
My words...
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48 Kanon Ishikawa.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, I won't forget your big hope.
Ten years later, August, I believe we can meet again.
The best memories...
The moment we met, at the crossing on the way home, you called out to me, "Let's go home together."
I was embarrassed and hid my face in my bag, but I was really, really happy.
Ah, the fireworks bloom beautifully in the night sky and it's a little sad.
Ah, the wind flows along with time.
We were happy and had fun, and we did a lot of adventures in our secret base.
I won't forget you, the end of summer, our dreams for the future, and our big hope.
I believe we'll meet again ten years from now.
I knew you were shouting "thank you" from the bottom of your heart until the end.
It's sad to say goodbye with tears in my eyes and a smile, isn't it?
Best memories...
Thank you very much!
I'm SKE48's Okamoto Ayaka. Nice to meet you!
Children head for the sky, spreading both hands, trying to catch birds, clouds, and even dreams.
Until yesterday, I didn't know what it looked like.
I believed my fingers would reach you.
Beyond the sky and the earth touching each other, I'm calling travelers from the past.
For you, I'm just a passerby.
I'm just a passerby.
I'm just a passerby with sadness in my heart.
Thank you very much.
I'm Miharu Kawashima of sk48. Nice to meet you.
You loved the sunset we saw on the crossing bridge.
"It's beautiful here," you said. "I want to live here," you said.
You came all the way to this city on a train to see me.
Even now, I can't forget those days and I'm still alive.
Even now, when I go to the Yagmo shrine, I pray for you.
If one of my wishes comes true, I want to go back to those days.
The cityscape you said you liked will fade away today as well.
A wide sky and mountains in the distance, the city we walked in together.
It's a city with beautiful sunset.
Thank you very much!
I'm Shirai Ekino of SKE48. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me.
Stretched shadows lined up on the sidewalk
Walking with you in the twilight
If I could hold your hand and stay by your side forever
I could cry
The wind got colder
And it smelled like winter
I'm getting closer to you in this city
The season is coming
The first snow flower of this year
We're looking at it together
At this moment, happiness is overflowing
I'm not being spoiled or weak
I still want to be with you forever
I honestly think so
The white snow flower is falling in this city
I'm drawing memories in our hearts
So I want to be with you forever
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48's Nakasu Kamiu.
Nice to meet you!
You look depressed, your voice is fading away
Somewhere in the sky far, far away, you must be there
At the end of summer, the two of us escaped
In this park, we found that star
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
I want to go to you
I want to run and go right now
Even if it's dark and you can't see anything and you're scared, it's okay
The countless starry sky is still here
Don't cry, because it was a beautiful sky like the one we saw together in the past
Thank you very much!
Now, the singing examination of 16 members of ske48 has ended.
First of all, Uyara-san, how was it?
I really liked Yukino Shirai's "Snow Flower".
I personally loved it very much.
From the first phrase...
Yes, when you enter the song, I think it's very nice how you prepare for it and how you put in your emotions at that time.
It's pretty well received.
She's a researcher, isn't she?
Yes, she is.
Kocchan's older sister, right?
Her name is Shirai Kotono-san.
She's been in sk48 for a long time, but her older sister joined as a researcher.
I see.
Yes, that's right.
How about you, Yudai-san?
I got the impression that everyone is stable at that point.
Not just in the group, but in general.
Also, I was interested in Sato Okaho-chan.
I like her singing voice.
Also, there are some seniors who are stable.
Yes, like Suzuran who went to the final last time.
She knows how she sings.
How about you, Kasumu-san?
Well, vocalists have their own strengths.
Some vocalists have good pitches and rhythms, and some vocalists have technical strengths.
I thought there were various types of vocalists who bring in customers with their facial expressions and feelings.
In that sense, I felt that Fukai Negai-san's singing wasn't technical.
I felt that her feelings and expressions drew listeners in.
That's great. Thank you very much.
How about you, Kano-san?
Me?
Yes.
I like Takayanagi-san's singing.
Oh, Takayanagi-san.
She's amazing.
She can do anything!
I thought she was good.
When I was looking at Twitter earlier, I saw Tani Mari singing "Graduation Picture".
Did you change the lyrics and sing?
Oh, I made a mistake.
She doesn't know what to do.
Oh, I made a mistake.
Well, that happens.
Let's look at the comments posted on Twitter.
First of all, here it is.
Yuchi is good at this. This may be...
I don't know this song.
Oh, you don't know this song.
Yukino is a researcher.
She likes this song.
Yukino's genre is "snow flower".
Shall we look at one more comment?
The next one is from Satokaho.
Satokaho, I didn't know you were a rightist singer.
I didn't know you were...
I didn't know you were a rightist singer.
The last song was also a letter.
Yes.
Shall we look at one more?
We have time, so...
Akane puts her feelings into her song.
As expected of you.
Yes, Takaya Dagi.
How was it, Takaya Dagi?
The first word of the lyrics is very clear.
I could feel the lyrics well.
It was wonderful.
Yes.
I'd like to praise the pianists for this competition.
It's always been like this.
One person... One person?
It's always been like this.
90% one person.
You're really the MVP of this competition.
The pianists played many different songs in one day.
I think it's amazing.
The pianists match with the singers, don't they?
Do they match with you?
I think they match with me.
I didn't know that.
The pianists are amazing.
It was amazing.
Now, the first day of the qualifying round is about half over.
Thank you for your hard work, judges.
Thank you for your hard work.
Now, I'd like to announce the mid-term results.
Yes.
We will now collect the results of the STU48 and SKY48, which have just finished the singing test.
As soon as the collection is over, we will announce the top 10 at this point.
Yes.
By the way, Mr. Yudai...
Who do you think is in the top 10?
You're going to say that here, aren't you?
Well...
It's not the score you gave me.
Well, on average...
Hmm...
Let's see...
It's a difficult question, isn't it?
Well, I think I know who it is.
It's a live show, but I'll wait for you.
Let's see...
I'm sure it's Nagi Takaya.
"I'm sure it's him" he said.
Hmm...
Well, who will remain?
After this, it's the mid-announcement of the first day of the qualifier.
Who will remain in the top 10?
Please look forward to it!
Well, thank you for waiting.

stu48...
Honoka Yano!
"Well done!" Did you say?
Well done!
Well, this is the result.
First of all,
Mr. Kafu,
how do you feel about this result?
Well,
I think that
the top five
are really close.
Yes, yes.
All of you were really wonderful,
so I feel that
it is a satisfactory result.
I see.
How about you?
By the way,
how about you,
Mr. Kadowaki?
How about you?
Well,
I also think that
your singing and dancing were really good,
and I feel that
you conveyed the message very well.
Hahaha!
Well,
I think that
your singing and dancing were really good,
and I feel that
you conveyed the message very well.
I see.
How about you, Ms. Uehara?
Well,
I think that
you are one of the people
who were mentioned earlier.
Yes, I think so.
Is there anyone
you were most interested in?
Well,
I was most interested in
No. 4.
You were No. 4.
But you are a graduate student.
Yes, I am a graduate student.
So, I haven't joined yet.
I haven't joined for less than a year.
That's amazing.
How about you, Mr. Yudai?
Well,
I think that
As I expected, the people in the top ranks mostly agreed with me.
As you said, Mr. Takagawa is also in the top ranks.
Of course, of course. He sang very well, so it's wonderful.
By the way, on Twitter,
Mr. Yanohonoka tweeted, "Today is the most exciting day in history."
He tweeted it, and now he is in the first place.
Well, are you watching this?
By the way, Mr. Vanga, how do you feel about this result?
Well, I'm going to sing with him for the third and fourth times, and I want to see his growth.
Oh, I see. Mr. Shintani's growth.
But he used to sing like a river, and sometimes he couldn't sing anymore.
As a show that shows Mr. Shintani's growth, I'd like to do it.
Now, let's see what the viewers on Twitter said.
Oh, Mr. Uyara, you're in a good mood.
Oh, Mr. Yucchi is in the fourth place!
As expected of Mr. Shirai and Mr. Yukino's reactions.
It was amazing, wasn't it?
Shall we continue?
We have plenty of time, so...
Ranran, is it here?
I thought you'd go further, but it looks like you're a little more frustrated.
What place was Suzuran in?
Sixth place?
How was Suzuran, Ms. Uyara?
I liked it.
I thought it would be very straightforward, so I thought you'd be in the top 10.
It's in the top 10, so you have to be in the top 10 in the end.
Yes, there is still a second half.
Yes, that's right.
Can we do one more?
Mr. Mineuchi, I'm convinced you're in the third place.
You were able to create it in your own way.
How about you, Mr. Yudai?
Her performance was very cute, and I really appreciated that you could see the stage.
I don't think you can dance like that with just one piano.
And it's not a stage, it's a studio like this.
Thinking about it like that, it's terrifying.
It's terrifying.
Can we do one more?
Yes, last one.
Honotan should...
Hono...
Honotan should have peeked out.
I'm sorry, my eyes are blurry right now.
Honotan should have peeked out.
Mr. Onoka, how about you, Mr. Kafu?
Well, I think the strength of the song and the strength of the lyrics were solid.
Also, when "fireworks" came out in the lyrics, my eyes suddenly went up.
When that happens, the listeners also think of "fireworks".
I think you can see how much the singer thinks of the scene.
The comments are amazing.
Now, it's the second half of the first day of the qualifier.
Please leave your impressions and opinions of the live broadcast on Twitter with the hashtag #akb48singerpowerno.1.
I think you've lost your nerves, but we're still in the first half of the game.
There will be another round in the second half of the game.
Now, let's move on to the singer evaluation.
First of all, it's the evaluation of 21 members of hkt48.
I'm akio shuka of hkt48. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
Don't lose your way with each passing day.
You've come so far, don't throw it away.
Live believing, dreams are for living, wonders are waiting to start.
Live your story, face up and running, hold to the truth in your heart.
If we hold on together, I know our dreams will never die.
My dreams in us will do forever.
Big crowds roll by for you and I.
When we have you in the dark, we'll dream about the sun.
In the dark we'll feel the light, wow our hearts, everyone.
If we hold on together...
Our dreams will never die, dreams fill us through to forever...
Earth high and souls gathered, the cross road by for you and...
Ah...
Thank you very much.
I'm Haruka Ueno of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
We've always been together, walking down this path together.
We part ways and walk our own paths.
Holding my heart overflowing with loneliness,
I look up at the sky that looks like it's about to cry,
and I think of you.
Even on nights without you,
I can't cry anymore.
It's because you're doing your best. It's because you're getting stronger.
I'm sure you can see it too.
I love loneliness.
It's because we're connected. It's because I love you.
I reach my hand out to the crescent moon.
My feelings reach you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Koujina Yui of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
Unable to hide my depression,
One day it settled in you.
If it could be taken away by someone,
Would it be okay for me to kill you?
Unable to hide my depression,
One day it settled in you.
As you fly up and fall down,
Beyond your shoulders, a mountain burns.
No matter what happens,
I want to go through the burning fire and cross it with you.
My feelings...
Thank you very much.
I'm H.K.T.48's Jiko Sakaguchi.
Thank you for having me.
Goodbye, my love
How frustrating
How sad
You're not coming back
Even so, you're the person I love
I can't forget anything
I can't throw away anything
I'm miserable and weak
I pity you and hate you
Goodbye, my love
Forever, my love
Forever, forever, my love
Thank you very much!
I'm Toshima Meru of HKT48. Nice to meet you!
Look, look at your feet, this is the path you will walk.
Look, look ahead, that is your future.
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.
Holding my hands like that, we walked together.
Sometimes I didn't like that kindness.
Mother left me and I couldn't be honest with her.
Look, look at your feet, this is the path you will walk.
Look, look ahead, that is your future.
Thank you very much.
I'm HKT48 Toyona Gaki. Nice to meet you.
In the classroom where you can see the building,
we lined up at our desks 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.
In the winter night when I spread my low clouds, 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.
I'm Mina Imada of HKT48.
Thank you for having me.
The voice of the stars fading into the night sky,
The fleeting light of the azure moon,
The sea we swam in together,
Why does it change color before we know it?
I don't want to fall asleep like this,
I want to feel you again.
If you're lonely,
You can't even stay by my side,
But you know the pain you lose,
And you can grasp other love.
That's what I pray for.
When you want to cry,
When you're in pain,
Just remember me.
A place we can be together,
On a distant summer day,
The warmth and joy of life,
To all of our hearts.
Thank you very much.
I'm Maria Imamura of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
The first time we met here was two months ago today
You didn't even know how to kiss me, my first sweet girlfriend
A small souvenir I didn't even want
I quietly marked it on my nightstand
When I asked "What day is it today?"
I was a little confused and answered
Laughing and answering "It's my ex-boyfriend's birthday"
That kind of smiley talk
Makes me want to cover my ears
The memories of those three years you spent with him
Still haven't come back to me
Even though I love you so much
There are too many misunderstandings
It's just a heartless exchange
Rather than repeating any more
Until your heart responds
It's better not to see each other
Whether it's tomorrow or five years from now
I'll always be waiting for you here
So let's make a promise
And tie a red thread around our hearts
Thank you very much.
I'm H.K.T. Potatoe, Odayaka. Nice to meet you.
You grew up in a beautiful place.
You said you wanted to live with me.
The train shook me all the way 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 only one of my wishes could come true, I'd like to go back to those days.
The cityscape you said you liked is getting dark again today.
The dark sky and lonely mountains.
The city we walked in together.
The city with beautiful sunset.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I'm Moeka Sakai of HKT48. Thank you for having me.
You can become stronger by the number of tears you have, like flowers blooming on the asphalt.
Don't be afraid of everything you see, tomorrow will come for you
What happened so late at night that I suddenly wanted to meet you?
Even if he makes a hasty joke, his smile is sad.
On top of the building, there's moonlight, memories of hugging, and pride.
Something good will happen if I throw it away,
The more tears you shed, the stronger you become, like a flower blooming on the asphalt.
Don't be afraid of everything you see, tomorrow will come, for you.
Let's become as strong as the number of tears, like a flower swaying in the wind.
Believe in yourself as you are, tomorrow will come, no matter what, tomorrow will come for you.
Tomorrow will come, for you, tomorrow will come, for you, tomorrow will come, for you, tomorrow will come, for you, tomorrow will come, for you. Tomorrow will come, for you, tomorrow will come, for you, tomorrow will come, for you, tomorrow will come, for you, tomorrow will come, you. For you, tomorrow will come. For you, tomorrow will come. For you, tomorrow will come. For you, tomorrow will come. For you, tomorrow will come. , Tomorrow will come for you, Tomorrow will come for you, Tomorrow will come for you, Tomorrow will come for you, Tomorrow will come for you.
hkt48 Sakamoto Elena. thank you.
Your back as you run across the field
Freer than the clouds floating in the sky
Even the square letters lined up in the notebook
It seemed like a light that illuminated everything
I don't understand the feeling of love
This time will never come back
you taught me the meaning
I'll burn the days I spent with you into my heart
I hope it's okay even if I don't remember
Even if one day you fall in love with someone else
you will always be special and important
This season will come around again
Thank you very much.
I'm Tomoka Takeda of HKT48.
Nice to meet you.
Again today, the mail ties us up and unties us.
At this frustrating distance, I always feel like I'm going to lose.
"I'm sorry," I say on the phone, but I can't say it honestly.
"But, you know, see you later," I don't want to say that anymore.
I'm fine like this.
Because I can't say the words "I love you" to you.
That's all I can say.
"But, you know, I'm glad I met you," I want to cherish the thought of meeting you.
To you, who I love,
My love forever.
In the passing seasons, we walk hand in hand.
I love you, I really love you.
The map of the future I make with you.
"I'm glad I'm alive someday," we say.
I can't say "I love you" in words.
That's all I can say.
But you know, I'm glad we met.
I cherished my feelings and my ego.
You, who I love, My love forever.
Thank you very much.
I'm HKT48 Okazo no Hazuki. Nice to meet you.
What do you wish for? Let me hear it.
If you can make this love come true...
Just for now, tell me a lie and make me believe in faint words
If a 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
Tomorrow, I feel like I can go back to how I used to be
Looking up at the sky, don't say goodbye
Tonight, I'm falling into a dream again
Thank you very much.
I am Vivian Murakawa of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
I don't want to forget many things with you
I want to engrave many things with you
I want to meet you and hug you as soon as possible
I'm glad that everything started with you
I bit my lips and touched you with my fingers
I made sure of my kiss with you
But the rain stopped and the stars fell
I got lost in a small room
Ah, I climbed up the tetrapod and stood at the top
I want to fly my shoes to space
Ah, when you kiss me on the cheek
Our time stops
Hmm, I like you, ah, boyfriend
Thank you very much!
I'm Ishiba Shibuki of HKT48. Nice to meet you!
Look, look at your feet, this is the path you walk on.
Look, look ahead, that is you.
A lot of kindness, a lot of love.
I repeated it 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 your kindness.
We were separated and I couldn't be honest with you.
Look at my feet. This is the path you walk on.
Look ahead. That's your future.
I'm H.K.T.48's Airi Ichimura.
Thank 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'll protect me, so I can become stronger and I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
Time passes by with pain, the light in my stomach gently shines on me.
Because you're not alone, because I'll protect you, because I want to see your smiling face.
Time passes by with pain, the light in my stomach gently shines on me.
Thank you very much.
My name is Kaede Kamijima, and I play the piano for HKT48.
In the reddish sun pool
Walking on the slope with the same stride Itsumo atashi wa oikakeru dake
I stumbled, fell, and cried.
I'll never be able to live a good life, but I'll never be able to live well.
Look, you'll take my hand. Anata ga hora, atashi no te wo hiku kara
Be strong even when you are afraid, you can become what you are.
That's why we cried, laughed, and held hands.
A promise that won't succumb to the repeated words.
In the red sky where I met you, Anata ni deaeta akane no sora ni
Look, I wish the same thing as that day.
I'm H.K.T.48 Hijiri Kawahira.
Thank you for having me.
Even in this distant city,
I'll give you a dream.
White powder snow falls and reaches my heart, winter song.
Just by taking a deep breath, the light is about to disappear.
I live stronger 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 wind is blowing.
Towards the wide sky, I spread my hands high.
White powder snow falls and reaches my heart, winter song.
Even in this faraway city, you give me dreams.
White powder snow falls and reaches you, winter song.
Thank you very much!
I'm Haruka Kudo of HKT48. Thank you for having me.
Butterfly, today is more wonderful than ever
With a red thread, we're connected to the ring of light
Butterfly, today is more beautiful than you've ever been
With white wings, we'll fly away, together with happiness
I remember the days when I first met you
The seasons that repeated over and over again have changed us
You're close now, by the side of the person you love
You're happy and smiling
With those certain memories, the wind resounds
The sun sets, and the stars rise for no reason
The night sleeps, and the morning is over
Butterfly, today is more wonderful than ever
With a red thread, we're connected to the ring of light
H.K.T.48, Hinano Goto. Thank you for having me.
Push up the sky and reach out your hand for May.
I want you to wear it. I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you buds and garden flowers and swimsuit.
I hope your cute light berry colored endless dream will come to an end.
I hope you and your love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day bind me and my endless waves will stop properly.
I hope you and your love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm Takemoto Kurumi of HKT48.
Nice to meet you.
I never once thought of you as a friend
Since the day I met you, things have changed
But you and I both prefer nothing to change
Until we couldn't see each other on the hot way home
Until we became really small
Even now, I still love you
Summer is coming
As we age, we'll remember
Your shadow, my words
Swaying, swaying, ah, love
Thank you very much.
(applause)
Now, the first day and second half, first of all, hkt48, 21 singers have been judged.
Well, first of all, Mr. Uehara.
Yes.
How was it?
It's a little too high a level for me to rate it, isn't it?
When you became hkt before...
I thought you all had a very high level overall.
Is there anyone in particular you were interested in?
I like Akiyoshi and Yuka's songs.
Oh, Diana Ross.
Well, I was about to cry.
How can I say it?
Her breath matches her song very well.
I thought it was amazing that she used even her breath as an essence of her song.
Oh, it's very highly rated.
Now, Mr. Yudai.
Yes, that's right.
I thought Akiyoshi's song was wonderful.
And Erina Sakamoto, too.
Sakamoto, yes.
It's very...
Well, I don't know if I can say it like this, but I can imagine an idol's voice very well.
I felt like her voice and song matched very well.
And the researchers...
I have their profiles in my hands now.
I was surprised at the high level of researchers.
Do you have anything to say about it?
I think you all have similar profiles.
I don't know about you all, but you all have great voices.
I'd like to know how old you all are.
That's true.
Some of you have mature voices.
Some of you are in your teens.
I was surprised at the level of your research.
Thank you.
What about you, Sakafu?
I thought Akiyoshi's song was really good, too.
I could feel that he was listening and singing to the piano.
I'd like to see him singing live in a band.
Is there a song you'd like to hear?
I love this song and this music.
I know he practices it a lot.
I'd like to hear him sing in a wide range of songs.
I'd like to see Kojima in a kimono.
He's great.
Even though there are 100 of us, we know how much Kojima stands out.
I don't think there are many people who have mature voices.
You're the only one.
I wonder what kind of score he'll get for his expressive ability.
What about you, Waga?
I like Akiyoshi Toyonaga's songs.
I've always wondered what happened to him.
If there wasn't something wrong with him, he wouldn't be able to sing like that.
I'd like to see him sing live in a band.
It's hard to express that.
I always wonder what happened to him.
If I had to say "thank you" after singing, it would be this girl.
Ibuki.
"Thank you" was really cute.
Let's take a look at some of the comments from viewers on Twitter.
Here's the first one.
Akiyoshi-chan, you're really drawn in to choosing songs that suit you.
There are a lot of hard songs, and you can choose from about 100 of them.
I don't think it's easy for you to choose songs that suit you.
And it's in English.
Akiyoshi-san was amazing.
Let's take a look at another one.
G.NA's sweet voice. I think I'm going to fall in love with you.
How about you, Yuta-san?
I'm drawn in by his eyes.
My heart is pounding.
I'd like to hear more of his songs.
Here's the next one.
Toyonaga-chan, when I listen to your songs, I can see the scenery.
That's wonderful.
It's like you're singing on top of a cliff.
How about you, Toyonaga-san?
There were two people who made me want to cry.
Akiyoshi-san and Toyonaga-san.
His voice touches my heart.
I think he's a good singer.
It's a sad song.
It's hard to meet someone like him without experience.
Let's take a look at another one.
His voice is cute. I think I'm going to fall in love with him.
This is Vivian-chan's own tweet.
His voice is cute. I think I'm going to fall in love with him.
How about you, Vivian-chan?
He has a rich voice.
I think it's attractive.
How about you, Ryudai-san?
His voice is cute, isn't it?
How about you, Motei-san?
Isn't he cute?
He's cute, isn't he?
He looks like he's having fun.
Let's go back to the singer evaluation.
NGT48
A singer evaluation of 12 people.
Here you go.
I'm Ogimatsu from ngt48. Nice to meet you.
The seasons I've always waited for with you
Passed by without saying anything
Ame wa kono machi ni furisosogu The rain falls on this city
With a little regret and sin wrapped inside
As I swore not to cry, time has passed
Without noticing my aching heart
In my memories of being alone
Zutto futari wa ikite yukeru Your voice that won't live forever
Your voice still resonates in my heart now
It's a shadow of love wandering around Sore wa ai ga samayou kage It's a shadow of love wandering around
Kimi wa sukoshi naita ano toki mienakatta You cried a little back then and I couldn't see you
Thank you very much!
I'm Seiji Reina of ngt48. Nice to meet you!
I'll listen to my favorite song by myself
Because an olive tree will comfort my lonely heart
Jasmine tea is a medicine that invites me 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, just taking a break
I love you, my illusion, so much that I'm tired
It's you, isn't it?
There's nothing to talk about.
Making things better, love has disappeared.
Don't come running to me again.
You were exhausted, but you loved my illusion.
Thank you very much.
I'm Yuka Nakamura of NGT48. Nice to meet you.
I can't believe I only realized this after winter. (fuyu o koe, ima goro kidzuku nante.) No matter how much I say it, it's not enough.
No matter how I put it into words, it's not enough. (donna ni kotoba ni shitemo, tarinai kurai.) No matter how much I say it, it's not enough.
You loved me. (anata, aishite kureta.) You, who loved me.
Everything was wrapped. (subete, tsutsude kureta.) Everything, you wrapped up for me.
It was like a sunbath. (marude, hidamari deshita.) Just like a sunset.
Underneath the wide sky, (hiroi sora no shita,) Underneath the wide sky,
Even if I never see you again, I will live on. (nido to aenakute mo, ikite yuku no.) Even if we won't meet again, I'll live on.
Think about me like this from the bottom of your heart. (konna, watashi no koto o, kokoro kara.) You, who loved me from the bottom of your heart,
You loved me. (anata, aishite kureta.) You, who loved me.
Everything was wrapped. (subete, tsutsunde kureta.) You, who loved me. You, who wrapped me up in everything.
It was like a sunbath. (marude, hidamari deshita.) It was like a sunset.
thank you very much. (arigatou gozaimashita.) Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Yamada Noe. Thank you for having me.
Goodbye, my love
Still my love
It's so frustrating
Even if I'm sad
You won't come back
Even so, my love
I can't forget anything
I can't throw anything away
I hate myself for being miserable, weak, and pitiful
Goodbye, my love
Forever, my love
I'm NGT48's Ando Chikana. Nice to meet you!
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, and a big hope I won't forget
Ten years later in August, we'll meet again, believe me
The best memories
The moment we met, at the intersection on the way home, you called out to me, "Let's go home together."
I was embarrassed and hid my face in my bag, but I was actually very, very happy.
Ah, fireworks in the night sky bloom beautifully and make me feel 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.
You and summer's end, dreams of the future, and a big hope I won't forget.
I believe we'll 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 NGT48's Ogoe Haruka. Nice to meet you!
I wonder where you are and what you are doing.
I'm fifteen years old, and I have a problem 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, 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 NGT48's Takahashi Nanami.
Thank you for having me!
♪ Look, look at where you stand, this is the path you will walk on. ♪
♪ Look, look ahead of you, that is you. ♪
♪ With lots of kindness and love in my arms,
I repeated that time when I was still young and didn't know what it meant.
You held my hand like that and we walked together.
Sometimes I didn't like that kindness, and I couldn't be honest with you.
Look at where you stand. This is the path you will walk.
Look ahead. That is your future.
Thank you very much.
I'm Fujisaki Miyu of NGT48. Nice to meet you.

I'm Mana Furusawa of NGT48. Nice to meet you!
It's okay now, don't worry about it
You whispered to me, as I was about to cry
With a smile that never changes
You whispered to me
I can do it more and more
Because you're shining all the time
Sometimes you're in a hurry and you lose yourself
It can't be helped, because you're watching over me all the time
As always, I held you in my arms
Your smile saved me many times
Thank you, thank you
Best Friend
Forever and ever and ever
Best Friend
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Mashimo Kaho. 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.
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 and every one of them will lead you to a new path.
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 Hino Mimura of NGT48.
Nice to meet you!
I'm worried and my body is hot
My fingertips are so cold they freeze
What's wrong? You should have told me earlier
Even if you say that, I'm weak
Even if you die and I grow older and older
I can't even imagine it
Yes, now is more important than anything
The speeded down merry-go-round
The white horse's mane is swaying
Your forehead is a little higher than mine
I was invited by the sweet smell of your helmet
The shooting stars don't fall
It hurts, I'm happy, but my chest hurts
I won't forget it in the future
Wouldn't it be nice?
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48 Hinata Morohashi. Nice to meet you.
I can't put into words the words "I love you", but I still want to deliver them, my love forever.
Again today, the mail ties us together and unties us.
In this frustrating distance, I always feel like I'm going to lose.
"I'm sorry" I say on the phone, but I can't say it honestly.
But you know, I don't want to say "see you again" anymore.
I'm fine like this, because I can't put into words the words "I love you", but I still want to deliver them, my love forever.
But you know, I don't want to say "see you again" anymore.
I want to treasure it, my love for you, my love forever.
As the seasons go by, we walk hand in hand.
I love you, I really love you, the future map I made with you.
"I'm glad we're alive" we say.
I can't say "I love you"
That's all I can say.
But hey, I'm glad we met.
I want to treasure it, my love for you, my love forever.
Thank you very much!
(applause)
Lastly, we had 12 NGT48 singer judges.
First, Yuudai-san, how did you like NGT48?
Hmm... I feel like it's getting harder and harder to judge.
(laughs)
But, um...
Well, um...
I thought there was a song that really resonated with me.
Oh!
Yes.
What was it?
Well, technically, it's Mimura-san's song.
Oh! "Kabuto Mushroom"!
What did you like about it?
I think it's a difficult song.
It's pretty high-pitched, and the voice comes out beautifully.
And his facial expressions and determination to sing are what I like about it.
It's like, "Deliver it!"
That's what I really like about it.
Thank you.
How about you, Uehara-san?
For me, it was Morohoshi-san's last song.
I thought he had such a wonderful voice.
When I listened to it, I felt like it would cheer me up.
What kind of song do you want him to sing?
Well...
I thought he might sing "Bluebird" by Ikimonogakari-san.
Oh! I see.
It's a cheerful song.
Yes, it's a cheerful song.
Thank you.
What about you, Sakafu-san?
Well...
I really like this song, and I like how cheerful Morohoshi-san is.
But when I listened to Yamada Noe-san's song, I thought his voice was husky.
That's right.
How can I say...
It was a slow song, but I could feel eight beats.
From his voice?
Yes, it had a rock feel to it.
I'd like to listen to a cheerful song like Lindbergh- san's song in the '90s or "Kiss Me Now".
As long as you listen to his voice only, you can't reach his talent or genius just by trying.
Oh!
I thought he had a really nice voice.
What about you, Baga-san?
Well...
Fujisaki-san.
Yes, yes, yes.
No, I...
You sang "Watarasebashi".
I like this braid.
Oh, is it here?
Here?
I don't often see this braid.
I'm looking around and now...
Here and...
- Horohashi-san, you too. - Yes, yes.
I didn't think there were any idols with braids until now.
- With this trend... - I see.
I thought, "It's a braid!"
How about singing?
Singing...
- Takahashi Nanami-san? - Yes, yes, yes.
How about her?
I thought she'd be good.
Her seriousness is like that of a researcher.
Her seriousness resonates in my heart.
She seems straight-forward.
Shall we look at her Twitter?
Yes, let's.
Let's start with this one.
Kimura-san, your helmet match was the best match.
You're good.
She mentioned it earlier.
She was good.
What did you think of her helmet match?
It was amazing.
She made that song into her own song.
It resonated in my heart.
Thank you.
Let's move on to this one.
Fujisaki-san, your singing voice has a wide range of possibilities.
I got it.
She has a cute voice.
Yes.
Moritaka was good, too.
What did you think of her voice?
I felt like I could hear it in the introduction of a movie.
What kind of movie is it?
I felt like I could hear it in the introduction of a youth movie.
When the main character is in a hurry for his lover,
I felt like I could hear it in the background of the movie.
That's good.
Thank you.
Shall we look at the next one?
Shall we?
I'm moved.
Noepi, your smile is wonderful.
It cheers me up.
Your singing voice conveys your emotions well.
You did a good job. Thank you for challenging me.
That's it.
How about you, Yudai and Yamada-san?
As I said earlier, her voice is very distinctive and unique.
It left a strong impression on me.
To be honest, I'd like to listen to her singing in other songs, too.
Here's a tweet from Akiyushi himself.
Oh, Akiyushi.
I sang with all my heart.
I'm moved by your comments.
Thank you.
May you advance to the finals.
Thank you.
I'm moved by your comments.
I'm moved, too.
Well, we're only halfway through today.
That's it for the first day of the qualifying round.
Thank you for your hard work.
I could feel it.
We've been broadcasting for more than three hours.
We've been doing it nonstop.
What is it?
Yudai-san...
Who do you think will advance to the next round?
Again?
You said it clearly earlier.
Well, it's not always safe.
NGT and HKT.
It's a total of all of them.
Oh, it's all of them?
Yes, it's not even half of them.
Oh, I see.
Today's 20 people will be announced.
From now on, the top 20 will be announced.
One last person.
Well, I hope Akiyoshi-san will stay.
I'm watching you.
The top 20 will be announced.
Who will be ranked in?
Thank you for waiting.
This is the second AGB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round.
We are currently gathering information.
We don't have it yet.
Can you predict it for us?
Can you predict it for us, Kahun-san?
Prediction?
Let's see...
Well, each of them...
Anyway, it's HKT and NGT.
That's right.
We haven't announced it yet.
For me, it's NGT.
Yamada-san mentioned it earlier.
Seiji Reina-san said it while listening to Olivia.
She said it in a very polite way.
I hope she will stay.
I see.
Thank you very much.
Uehara-san, what do you think?
I'm sure you're wondering who it is and what it is about.
That's right, but if you think about it like that...
It's a researcher, but...
H.K.T.48's...
Takemoto Kurumi-san...
I thought she was great, too.
I think I'll be able to do a lot of things when I come back.
Certainly, I'm looking forward to seeing how many researchers will join.
There are quite a few this time, aren't there?
Yes, that's right.
So...
The results...
Soon...
Did it come out?
It came out!
Yes!
The results just came out!
Yes, the results came out!
Yes!
Yes.
So...
Yes!
So...
STU48, SK48, H.K.T.48...
And N.G.T.48...
Out of all 67 members...
Which member ranks first?
If you don't rank first here...
Your way to the finals will be blocked.
Yes...
So...
It's going to be a tough battle...
Yes...
So...
But the results came out, right?
Yes...
So...
Yes!
Let's announce the results!
First...
From 20th place to 11th place.
Yes!
Let's begin.
I'll announce it from 20th place.

- I saw it in a tweet earlier. - Yes.
TANI MARIKA wrote, "10th place? No way!"
- TANI is... - Who?
"How about it?" "Was it this high?"
- That's what the judges are thinking now. - That's right.
- Okay, let's move on. - Yes.
Next, I'll announce 17th place.
17th place...
HKT48!
TAKEMOTO KURUMI!
Wow!
Ms. Uehara!

What do you think of this one, Yudai-san?
Kamishima-san...
Wait a minute.
She's a researcher.
She's a researcher of HKT.
But she's a researcher.
What do you think of this one, Pavu-san?
Ah, Kamishima-san was really good.
Her voice was very dense and deep.
It says "I like your voice."
That's right.
Yudai-san likes her voice, too.
My voice goes straight into people's hearts.
Her voice went straight into people's hearts.
That's right.
She's in 15th place.
15th place.
There are two people in 13th place.
Two people?

The first person in 13th place is...
NGT48 Yamada Noe!
Yamada Noe is in 13th place.
There is one more person in 13th place, so I will announce it.
One more person in 13th place is...
HKT48 Ichimura Airi!
I couldn't say your name, but how was it?
Oh, I covered my eyes.
Yes, that's right.
How was it?
Yes, that's right.
How about you, Kokubu-san?
She had a very low voice, and it felt like she was entering the world of singing.
She was like an actress.
She was wonderful.
Sometimes, Uehara-san, when you have a good one phrase, you make a face like "oh".
Sometimes...
Was it like that?
Yes, it was like that.
How about you?
It says that my voice echoes beautifully in the memo.
Everyone has that kind of charm.
Yes, that's right.
Next, I will announce 12th place.
