AISubs v3.5
The 3rd AKB48 Group Singing Power No.1 Deciding Round Preliminary 1st Day on TBS G Studio.
I'm Yusuke Waga, and I'll be your host for today.
Thank you for having me.
And...
I'm Yumiko Kobayashi, and I'll be your host for today.
Thank you for having me.
The 3rd AKB48 Group Singing Power No.1 Deciding Round will be held in this tournament as well.
There are 134 candidates for this round.
Among them, 20 will advance to the final round.
The preliminary round will be held today and tomorrow for two days.
This is Waga's 3rd time participating in this tournament.
What's special about this tournament?
The first winner, Kano Nojima, who didn't participate in the last tournament, will participate in this tournament.
Will he be the second winner? I think that's what's special about this tournament.
Yes.
Now, let me introduce the judges who will be judging this tournament.
First of all, in addition to his own music activities, he offers songs to ARASHI and Yuzu.
In addition, singer-songwriter Saimon Isogai, who participated in Yuzu's live performance as a bandmaster, will also be participating in this tournament.
Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me. I'm Saimon Isogai.
As a singer, I'm not sure what kind of songs I can sing.
There are 134 candidates, so I think I'll have to do my best.
I'll do my best, too. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me.
Next up is singer-songwriter Takeuchi Hiromi, who was in the back chorus with Hamada Shogo and Sano Motoharu.
Thank you for having me.
I heard that there are people who really want to sing this time as well, so I was looking forward to it.
Thank you for having me.
And finally, Sato Yudai, a keyboardist who was in charge of qualifying judging from the first tournament and bandmaster in the final tournament and finalist live performance.
Thank you for having me.
This is my third time, but I'm really nervous about wanting to be in the preliminary round.
I'd like to listen carefully and judge each and every one of you this time as well.
Thank you for having me.
Now, Kobayashi Anna, please give us the rules for the preliminary judging of this tournament.
Yes.
From now on, judges will watch each group's virtual VTR and judge them.
Today's live broadcast has 68 people of AKB48 and SKE48.
Tomorrow's live broadcast will have 66 people of NMB48, HKT48, NGT48, STU48.
Judges will be rated with a total of 300 points out of 100 points out of 100 points.
Based on this rating, we will select the top 20 people for today's live broadcast and the top 20 people for tomorrow's live broadcast.
Through the preliminary judging for two days, the top 15 people will advance to the final tournament held at TBS Akasaka Act Theater on December 1st.
The rest of the five people will consult with the judges as a panel of judges and decide.
Yes, and this year's final tournament will also hold a finalist live performance with a full band for the members who remained in the best eight.
With that said...Isogai-san.
Yes.
Is there a point you would like to evaluate?
Well, there are people who are good at singing and there are people who are unique, and I think there are various types of people.
My personal preference is...I like songs with a lot of lyrics, so I'd like to evaluate that kind of point.
Well, lyrics...not only singing ability...well, singing ability itself is decisive, but I think it's very important to be able to hear lyrics.
By the way, have you ever evaluated someone?
No, I haven't done it much.
I'm not that kind of person.
That's why I'd like to evaluate someone.
Thank you for your time today.
Takeuchi-san, how about you? Have you ever evaluated someone?
No, I've auditioned myself and stuff like that, but I don't usually evaluate people.
Thank you for your time today.
Is there a point you would like to evaluate?
Well, I'd like to evaluate people's feelings, their feelings in the song, and their attitudes and feelings towards the song.
I'm looking forward to seeing how much that shows in their voices.
Thank you for your time.
Sayuutai-san, who do you think will rank higher?
It's already the third time.
I don't know unless I see it every year, so it's hard for me to ask you that question all of a sudden.
I'd like to ask you all at once.
Now, let's move on to the singing evaluation.
First of all, Team A of akb48 and Team K.
In addition, Team A includes researchers K and 12 judges.
Please leave your impressions and opinions of the live broadcast by tweeting #akb48 Singing Power No. 1 Decision Line.
Now, let's move on.
akb48, Team A, and Team K's singing evaluation.
Here you go!
I'm akb48 Minami Sato. Thank you for having me!
Your story, which is about to begin, will continue for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
Behind your dazzling smile, there is a sad sound.
When we are together, even now, you are so dear to me.
When we hold hands, we feel warm. When we hate each other, we feel lonely.
Each one of them will become you. The road will continue.
Your story, which is about to begin, will continue for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
Thank you very much.
I'm Suzuki Kurumi of a.k.a.b48. Thank you for having me.
Crossing the bridge and looking at the sunset, you said you loved it
"It's a beautiful place," you said, "I want to live here"
You came all the way to this city, swayed by the train, to see me
Even now, I can't forget those days and I'm still alive
Even now, I still pray for you when I visit the Yagumo Shrine
If only one of my wishes could come true, I'd like to go back to those days
This city where you said you loved it, it's still shaking today
A wide sky and mountains in the distance, a city where the sunset is beautiful
A city where the sunset is beautiful
I'm Manaka Taguchi of akb48. Thank you for having me.
After all, I turned my back on the night sky and said that I couldn't find that star.
I was tired of wishing.
I want to close my eyes to one truth.
Tomorrow will be different from today.
The star will shine.
One of the stars.
It's just a piece of dream scattered in the still dark sky.
Rather than powerless words, when we just stare at each other, it shines.
I wanna be star.
Someday in the last miracle of the future,
I will be embraced by light and darkness and find a faint dream in the sky of my heart.
Thank you very much.
I'm Rei Nishikawa of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me.
How many things can we do in this limited time?
How much of my feelings can I tell you?
You erased the pain in my heart that I had kept locked away for so long.
The only reason I can smile is because you cried with me.
Because you were there for me.
Because you weren't alone.
Because you protected me.
I can become stronger. I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
As time goes by, along with the pain,
the light of fire gently shines on me.
Because you weren't alone.
Because I protect you.
Because I want to see you smile.
As time goes by, along with the pain,
the light of fire gently shines on me.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Maeda Ayaka. Nice to meet you.
My hair caught in my eyes and my fingers scattered about
My lonely back is about to break
While making the unreliable sun bleed
I was staring at your smiling profile
Before I knew it, all of it came into my sight
Why did I notice the pain in my heart?
I'm looking for you
In the depths of my hidden eyes
So that no one can see you
While wandering around without a place to go
The world I see with you
Has always been beautiful
There's only one thing left in the sky
A faintly shining little star
Thank you very much.
I'm Saki Michiyada of AKB48.
Make a circle with one foot and hold it firmly.
Turn the back of the circle with the other foot.
Enter the pocket in between and wait for it to come out.
Come and pick up where it came out and pull it out.
Even if it's a miserable shape at first,
Put in the same amount of force.
The wings are big and the knots are hard.
I want you to tie it tightly so that it becomes one.
My arms are here and my memories are far away.
I want you to leave me alone.
The wings are big and the knots are hard.
I want you to tie it tightly so that it becomes one.
My arms are here and my memories are far away.
I want you to leave me alone.
Thank you very much.
AKB48's Miyon Mukaichi. Thank you for your support.
It's been 24 hours since you left last night.
I haven't even taken one step outside yet.
At a slow pace, I often fall asleep
Thinking of you
Five minutes past the house clock
Ah, it doesn't matter anymore
Did you care about me, who hated cigarettes, and smoke on the balcony?
The curtains shook and my eyes got hot
You're not there anymore
Look at me more carefully
Were those words too heavy for you?
Look at me more carefully
If you hadn't said that, you wouldn't be here now
Thank you very much.
I'm Yamane Suzoha from akb48.
Thank you for having me.
I'm Yamane Suzoha from akb48.
Thank you for having me.
I'm Yamane Suzoha from akb48.
Thank you very much.
Hey, you're always singing in class, aren't you?
I love that look of yours.
The words I want to say are increasing.
As I thought, you're special.
My feelings are getting bigger.
Ah, I feel like I'm going to be crushed.
I can't do anything.
I can't get out of my head.
I want to see you. I want to see you.
My heart is pounding nonstop.
Even if I hold back my frustrated feelings,
Ah, it hurts.
In the end, I'm all tangled up.
I'm home alone.
I stumbled and fell.
I can't stop it now.
Hey, listen. I like you.
I love you.
Give me a hug.
I love 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.
I want you to come closer and meet me 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 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.
My name is Katarina from akb48. Nice to meet you.
As we passed each other's time, I met you.
It's strange that the miracle I wished for is still by my side.
I want to see you, but I can only think of you.
I can't see you, but only time passes by.
I slip through the door and remember you again.
You and that person laugh together.
My beloved person, don't make me sad.
There are nights when I'm tired of crying and sleeping.
Don't look in the past and only look at me.
You're everything.
Stronger than you think.
If it's a kind lie, I don't need it.
What I want is you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kobayashi Ran from AKB48. Thank you.
Where am I now?
I step on my footprints and look back over and over again.
Embracing with withered leaves, I look out of my window.
I drew a dream with my faint fingertips.
I have wings, but I can't fly.
I'm afraid of being alone and it's painful.
I walk with my lonely dream
"Goodbye" is not a sad word.
It connects us with our own dreams.
Embracing with withered leaves, I look out of my window.
I have wings, but I can't fly.
Someday, we will fly, my friend, to the sky.
"Goodbye" is not a sad word.
It connects us with our own dreams.
Until we meet again someday,
I will never forget you, my pride, my friend, to the sky.
Thank you very much.
I'm Hinana Shimoguchi of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
Things I can't put into words, things that make me cry
Everything I felt with my trembling heart has made me who I am today
Encounters and goodbyes made me feel stronger
Because of those days we swore we would never let go, we are here today
I can hear a gentle song, words push my back
This life, this moment, become someone's light
Wow wow, wind, blow away
Live with you
Even on sunny days when the sky is sad
I'm not alone, your voice is by my side
I want to share my dream of laughing with you
So we can sing together, so we can play together
This era, us, this moment
Thank you very much!
First of all, we had AKB48 Team A, Team K and Team A researchers who belong to Team A and K do a singing test for 12 people.
So, Simon.
Yes!
I think it's your first time doing a singing test. How was it?
Well, this is quite difficult. It's quite difficult to set standards in the first place.
I'm sure you've all practiced a lot.
Well, you might have had a little expression or something like that.
We're in judging mode right now, so we might have asked you, "Oh, are you practicing properly?"
I'd like to make sure you're aware of that.
Right now, there are 12 of you, right?
Yes.
Is there anyone you're interested in?
Yes.
Nazuna Furukawa is very similar to my cousin.
No, no, no. I don't care about that.
That's not what I mean.
I don't know about that, but I can't help checking it.
Surprisingly, Saki Michieda is... How old is she?
She's 16 years old.
She's 16 years old, so I think she's still a baby vocalist.
On the contrary, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of singer you will be when you practice singing and have various experiences in the future.
It's like a meteorite.
It's like a meteorite. The way you sing is a little strange.
The election is also like that, but I personally think I'm looking forward to it.
Yes, thank you.
Takeuchi-san, how was it?
That's right.
If we continue asking questions like this, I think we can clearly see each person's personality and voice characteristics.
I'd like to ask Mukaichi Mion-san.
Out of the 12 people who are participating now, I think I'm in the older group.
I think you're the oldest.
That's right.
First of all, the atmosphere in front of you was different from how you stood.
And you've lost some of your strength, so I think you'll be able to grow even more in the future.
Thank you.
Sayuday-san, how was it?
I think there are a lot of people who can make each song stand out.
It's only the beginning, but I think there are a lot of people who can make you feel like "oh".
For example?
Like Simon said and Michiyo-san, I think Maeda-san is also good.
And because it's a contest, the pitch and other things can be the target of the judges.
That's another problem.
The good thing about listening to your own voice is that you can improve it one by one.
If you didn't sing it neatly, Taguchi-san sang it beautifully.
I thought you sang it very well.
Thank you.
Now, let's see some comments from viewers of Twitter.
Here is the first comment.
Manaka, your heart is strong and stable.
Manaka-san's evaluation is high.
Taguchi Manaka-san.
Simon-san, what did you think of Taguchi?
I thought Taguchi-san was really good, too.
At the end of the song, I felt like I was out of breath.
I thought it was very sexy.
Oh, sexy.
I think there were a lot of long tones.
I think it would be nice if there was a little more persuasion in the long tones.
Thank you.
Here is the next comment.
Your choice of songs is also a key to winning.
I think so, too.
Do you have a song that suits you, Taguchi-san?
Yes, I do.
There are songs that are purely musical.
Songs that are easy for you to sing, low or high notes.
I think it's a strength of songs that let you do what you're good at.
Also, I think it's the story of the song.
How much you can put your feelings into it.
There are songs that are popular.
"Rainbow" was sung by you two.
I think it's good to appeal your personality in songs that are popular.
Thank you.
By the way, there are more than 100 songs.
You can pick up songs from among the songs.
You can choose your favorite song.
Let's go back to the singing test.
Next is Team 8.
Team 8 has 20 singers.
Here you go.
[Music]
I'm Yui Yokoyama of akb48. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
I am God's child
I was left behind in this corrupt world
How do I live on such a field?
I wasn't born for this
My trembling feet are about to fall
These chains won't forgive me
With my heart open
Only your senses scatter
I still can't clean up well
Iron Gods Child's corrupted world has dropped me
How do I live on such a field?
I wasn't born for this
Thank you very much.
Yes, I'm Akb48's Akari Sato. Nice to meet you.
Everything I felt and felt with my trembling heart has made me who I am today.
Because I have that day when I swore and swung my hand and made my feelings stronger.
I can hear a gentle song.
There are words that push my back.
This life, this moment,
become someone's light.
Wind, blow away.
Live with you.
Even when the clear sky makes me sad,
I'm not alone.
Your voice is with me.
I want to share my dream of laughing with you.
I hope we can sing and play together.
This era, us, this moment.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Shimizu Maria. Thank you for having me.
You loved watching the sunset on the bridge
I grew up in a beautiful place, and I said I wanted to live here.
You came to see me on the train all the way to this town.
I still live and can't forget those days.
Even now, when I visit Yagumo believers, I pray for you.
If I could have one wish come true, I'd like to go back to those days.
This cityscape that you said you loved is going into darkness today as well.
A town where we walked together, with wide skies and distant mountains.
A town with a beautiful sunset
A.K.B48, I'm Aine Takahashi. Thank you for having me.
I made up my mind.
This song in my pocket,
I want you to listen to it.
I gently turned up the volume,
and checked it out.
Oh goodbye days,
I feel like it's going to change now,
compared to yesterday.
So I love you.
Because I have this unkindness by my side.
La la la la love is you.
I don't want to feel sad if I can,
but it will come, right?
At that time, with a smile,
yeah, hold up my hands,
I wish I could say it.
When we hum the same song,
stay by my side.
I wish I could meet
your unkindness.
La la la la goodbye days.
Thank you very much.
I'm Oguri Yui of akb48.
Thank you very much.
I don't want to say "no" anymore.
It's okay like this.
Because I love you.
I can't put it into words.
That's all I can say.
But I'm glad we met.
I want to cherish the fact that we can think of each other.
To you, who I love.
My love forever.
In the changing seasons, we walk hand in hand.
I love you, I really love you, the future map I made with you.
"I'm glad I lived" we say together.
I love you, I can't put it into words, that's all I can say.
But you know, I'm glad we met.
I cherished the fact that we could think alike.
To you, who I love so much, my love forever.
Thank you very much.
I'm Erina Oda from AKB48. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for watching.
Standing in a noisy cityscape, you are a very small, very cold-hearted, crying girl.
A love song in the corner of the street, you kiss me and smile at me for a little while.
Your frozen body is gently rubbed against mine and you kiss me and cling to me.
Oh my little girl, I will warm you up.
Oh my little girl, I love you so much.
Oh my little girl, we walk side by side in the twilight.
I can't be separated from you forever and ever.
Thank you very much.
AKB48 Suzuki Yuka. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for choosing me like this.
Before you use it, please read this instruction manual carefully.
Always treat it properly and kindly.
We do not accept changes or exchanges of goods.
Please understand.
Sometimes you're suddenly in a bad mood.
Even if you ask why,
if you don't answer and leave it alone, you'll get angry.
I'm always sorry.
But in such a case,
don't get angry and let's get along with each other.
If you praise me regularly, we'll get along for a long time.
Let's notice small changes like beautiful nails.
Look at me carefully.
But you don't have to notice unnecessary things like getting fat.
If you get a little older and look away,
remember the day we first met.
Please continue to take care of me.
I'm like this, but please laugh and forgive me.
Please always cherish me.
Because I'm an eternal guarantee.
Thank you very much.
I'm Takai Saika from akb48. Nice to meet you.
Let's take a picture together of this nostalgic scenery.
I want you to pose like you did that day and show me your smile.
As I look up at the blue sky, the clouds pass by.
Is it beautiful because there are beautiful things in the distance?
As I promised you, I'm glad you came here with me.
If this feeling is not love, I don't know what love is.
With love, I accept your bouquet.
Don't ask me why.
Forget everything for now. Don't laugh and accept it. Don't be shy.
Thank you very much!
I wanted to fill in the hole in my heart, so I pretended to be nice and smiled.
Encounters and goodbyes make me busy, and they drag me along.
The more frustrated I am, the more I understand myself.
I can't be strong enough, so I just close my eyes and endure.
I can see it, I don't want to go back.
If you wave goodbye to me, I'll look back over and over again.
I want to go back to the house you're waiting for me in.
I have something I want to tell you, and I hope you'll smile when you hear it.
Thank you very much.
I'm Fukuto Mimitsuha of akb48.
Hey, why do you look so sad?
Even though the sky is so blue it's dazzling
Since when did I start holding hands with you?
You're not going to give it back to me, are you?
If you could say anything,
would you be able to go back to that day?
Even if there's only anxiety filling my heart,
even if I cry, you won't disappear?
I love you, I love you, I need you
Just like back when we were separated
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 steal only my heart?
If my wish won't come true
Please tell me goodbye
Thank you very much!
AKB48 Momoka Onishi. Thank you for having me!
You, who is about to begin.
The road continues for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
A sad sound is made behind a dazzling smile.
I want you to come closer and bend over.
If we hold hands, we can fight.
If we hate each other, we can be alone.
One by one will become you.
The road continues.
You, who is about to begin.
The road continues for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
Thank you very much!
AKB48 Hamasa Eno desu! Yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
I can't say "I love you"
You're the only one I can see
Every time our eyes meet
Every time I hear your voice
I love you
It makes me sad
I love you
But it hurts me
The way I am now
How can I show you?
When I see someone else
I can't look them in the eye
I want you to look me in the eye
If we were together
If we were to hug and kiss
No matter what I think
It wouldn't work
Can I fall in love with you?
Can't I?
I can't help it
My feelings won't stop
I wish we could be together forever
I'm serious, I'm serious
I like you
Thank you for choosing me this time.
Before you use me, please call me by this name.
Treat me right and kindly, okay?
I won't accept any return or exchange of goods.
Please understand me.
Sometimes you're suddenly in a bad mood.
Even if you ask me why,
I'll be angry if you leave it alone even if you don't answer me.
I'm always sorry.
But in such a case,
let's not get angry and go out with me.
If you praise me regularly, I'll last a long time.
Let me notice your beautiful eyes or small changes.
Look at me carefully.
But you don't have to notice my fat or unnecessary things.
If you get a little older and look away,
please remember the day we first met.
Please continue to take care of me.
Please smile and forgive me for being like this.
Please cherish me forever.
Because I'm your life insurance.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Kamachi Kina. Nice to meet you.
Your back floated in the sky.
You were more free than clouds and lined up in your notebook.
Even the square letters seemed like lights that illuminated everything.
I didn't know the feeling of love.
This time that will never come back
taught me its meaning.
The days I spent with you, I'll engrave them in my heart.
Even if I don't remember, like it's okay.
Even if I fall in love with someone else one day,
you will always be special and important to me.
This season will pass again.
Thank you very much.
AKB48 Okumoto Hinano. Thank you very much.
In the passing of time,
I met you.
It's strange, the miracle I wished for is still by my side.
Only the time we can't meet passes by.
I slip through the door and remember you laughing with that person again.
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, just look at me.
You're very sick, you're very sick.
Stronger than you think.
If it's a kind lie, I don't want it.
What I want is you.
Thank you very much.
AKB48 Kakao Kakaol.
What words can I say to you now?
Even though I'm clumsy, I hope it reaches you.
I can't see tomorrow anymore.
I'm afraid of believing it.
I regretted my past and blamed it.
But you loved me and continued to love me.
Even if the world ends tomorrow,
Even if the days we can't meet continue,
I will always think of you.
Your smile that you gave me that day
gave me the strength and courage to live.
Even on lonely nights where you can't see the stars,
you are there for me.
That alone makes me strong.
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48 Airi Rissen. Nice to meet you!
Even so, it's fine
Even so, I think it's fine, it was love
Even if I know I can't go back, I want to be connected
This is how I felt for the first time
Sometimes I can't do anything
It's natural for me to break promises, but is it okay?
When I think about being alone,
I wish I had forgotten about myself back then.
But these tears are my answer, aren't they?
I won't lie to my heart.
I remember you so well that it's scary.
Your smell, your gestures, everything.
It's strange, isn't it? Say that and smile.
Even though we're separated, I only think about you.
You're the unforgettable person in me.
You're the person who gave me everything.
Even if we can never go back,
I only think about you now.
I only think about you.
AKB48 Kawahara Misaki. Thank you in advance.
I'm worried and my body is hot
My fingertips are cold enough to freeze
What's wrong? You seem like you'll die soon
Even if you say that, I'm weak
Even if you die and I grow older
I can't even imagine it
Yes, now is more important than anything
I slowed down and my white horse's shield is shaking
I'm a little tall
My forehead is close to my eyes
I was invited by a sweet smell
I'm a beetle, unable to flow
It hurts, I'm happy, my chest hurts
My life, I won't forget it
Isn't it nice?
Thank you very much.
I'm Uemi Sorano of akb48. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me.
When I wake up, I'm always in the same scenery.
I can't even see the important things anymore.
You taught me the meaning of life and joy.
I think I can say "maybe it's okay" with that smile you have now.
I hope everything that surrounds you is filled with kindness.
I won't get lost and will continue to love you.
Be by my side.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Ria Miyazato. Nice to meet you.
I always wanted to be with you.
I always wanted to be smiling next to you.
Even though the seasons are changing again,
my heart remains still.
On the right side of you,
I thought I got used to it a little.
But why do I cry so much?
If my feelings won't come true anymore,
I just want the courage to forget you.
Even now, I still remember you.
Even the scenery I saw beyond your shoulders,
so lost again.
Ah, I had a dream and woke up.
The black jacket and your back
become invisible to someone else,
so lost again.
Like the stars returning to the forest.
Even small gestures that naturally disappear.
Even me, who can only see you forever.
Thank you very much.
Now, AKB48 Team 8's 20 singer judges are over.
How did you feel, Takeuchi-san?
Well, I thought that these 20 people had even more unique personalities.
This is an overall rating, but when it comes to singing with women,
we tend to focus on how well we can sing.
In addition to that, I thought that people who have a charm for bass
are really strong.
They have the power to make you listen to one song.
There were many people who sang songs with a story.
For example, who would you like to mention?
Well, I'd like to mention Rissen Airi-san, who was synthesized in the finals last time,
as well as Yokoyama Yui-san.
Also, I thought that Takahashi Sayaka-san was also well-synthesized.
Thank you.
Now, Yudai-san, how did you like it?
Well, people who sing songs with their own interpretation or worldview
are naturally drawn in.
Of course, that rating is also high.
Well, it's the same for Yokoyama-san, Oda-san, and Rissen-san,
who have been around for a long time,
but they have their own interpretation and worldview.
So, I thought Takahashi-san was interesting and so was Kawahara-san.
For Hama-san's song, I really like how he expresses the story with his facial expressions.
It's very easy to understand that he's expressing his sadness and happiness on all sides,
but as a viewer, I felt that he was drawn in.
Thank you.
Now, Isogai-san.
There were a lot of people I was really curious about, but I don't know who to start with.
No problem at all!
First of all, Fukutome-mitsubo-san.
I thought you had a really good high seven.
Personally, I think you're a voice champion right now.
Really?
On the other hand, when it comes to singing ability,
I think you haven't caught up yet.
Of course, I want you to practice and do your best,
but I felt like I wanted to listen to you for a long time just with your high seven.
If you could catch up with your singing ability, I think you could win.
This is a live broadcast, isn't it?
No problem!
One more person.
Kawahara-misaki-san.
She was singing with a regular voice microphone,
but I thought it was a waste for her to sing with this microphone.
She has a unique voice and I wanted to hear her recorded voice.
I thought she had an ice voice.
There are so many people that I can't introduce them all.
It really felt like you practiced.
That's right. Everyone was amazing.
How about you, Mawa-san?
I think Oguri-chan's presence is amazing.
The feeling of being a solo idol was amazing.
Now, let's look at some of the comments posted on Twitter.
First of all, here it is.
"I sang with my own "oh my little girl" in mind."
Erina Oda sang with her own "oh my little girl" in mind.
I don't know if you know it or not.
I think I had it in my mind.
That's good.
What's next?
All eight members had a hard time singing at home over time.
Is it because you were at home for a long time that you practiced at home?
Team A and Team K are separated in Japan.
Now, about half of the singing tests for the first day of qualifying are over.
First of all, thank you for your hard work.
Now, let's move on to the weekly announcement.
Team A, Team K and Team 8 will announce the results of the singing tests.
As soon as the voting is over, we will announce the top 10 members.
By the way, Yudai-san, who do you think is in first place?
Here, right?
I see.
(laughs)
You're not going to tell me, right?
Anyway, after this, the middle announcement of the first day of qualifying.
Who is left in the top 12?
(applause)
Thank you for waiting.
The first decision battle of the third AKB48 group singing power No. 1.
The result of the first half of the first day of qualifying has been released.

Now, two people in the 10th place.
How about these two people, Simon-san?
No.
What do you think of their names?
Well...
Surprisingly... Surprisingly? What does "surprisingly" mean?
"Surprisingly"...
"Surprisingly" does make sense, but...
I see what you're saying.
And they're the same age.
Same age.
I didn't know that.
The three of them...
I see.
But I've been paying attention to them, too.
Oh, you have?
So I thought, "Oh, I see."
But they're 10th place.
Yeah.
Same age, 10th place.
Oh, I see.
They're the same age, too.
Yeah.
Okay, then...
Next up is 8th place.
Yes, 8th place.
There are two 8th place winners, too.
First up is 8th place...
"akb48" "team 8" Okuhara Hinako-san!
Yes, congratulations!
Yes!
And there's one more 8th place winner.
Yes!
"akb48" "team 8" Tanuchi Manaka!
Yes, congratulations!
And there are two 8th place winners, too.
Yes.
Takeuchi-san, what did you think?
Yes.
Takeuchi-san's voice was really good.
His voice was really good.
Yes.
And...
Okuhara-san...
Yes.
Your voice sounded like you were talking to someone.
Yes.
Your voice sounded like you were talking to someone.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Yes.
And next up is 6th place?
Yes, 6th place.
7th place.
Huh?
7th place.
Huh?
7th place.
Yes, 7th place.

"akb48" "team 8" Oguri Yui-san!
Yes!
Congratulations!
Yes.
Oops, I spilled it.
Yes.
I spilled it.
I'm sorry.
Well then, Yudai-san.
Yes?
How do you feel about Oguri-chan?
Well...
But she's still quite young.
She is.
Your voice is gentle in your memo too.
Your voice quality got better too.
Of course it's well received.
But you are still up in the rankings.
Yes, I'm still up in the rankings.
And next is 6th place?
Yes, I will announce 6th place.
6th place is...
jkb48, team 8, Hama, sayonara!
Oh, Hama, congratulations!
Okay, this is...
Okay, Simon.
He had a lot of stories in his songs.
I thought it was a musical.
You're getting emotional.
I'm getting emotional.
From the A melody to the B melody to the chorus...
He has a different kind of story and personality.
And I thought his ears were really big.
Well, you're a bright kid.
That's right.
I still have a lot of impressions of you.
My rating is pretty high, too.
Okay, thank you.
Now, let's move on to the fifth place announcement.
The fifth place is...
This is fourth, right?
There are two people.
Fourth place has two people.
Yes, fourth place has two people.
With that said, I'll announce the fourth place.
First place is...
AKB48 Team 8, Kawahara Misaki!
Oh, congratulations!
Now, this is...
And second place!
Yes, fourth place.
Second place is...
AKB48 Team 8, Yokoyama Yui!
Yes, congratulations!
Now, Yokoyama is fourth place?
Yes, that's right.
Okay, Takeuchi-san.
How about these two, Yokoyama and Yui?
Well, I was a little surprised that Yokoyama-san was in fourth place,
but of course I thought that he would be in the top place.
I'm looking forward to what happens next.
And, Kawahara-san.
I think your song and your cute voice went really well together.
I'm also looking forward to how you will be treated in the future.
Yes, thank you.
Now, let me announce the third place.
Third place is...
AKB48 Team 8, Takahashi Sayaka!
Yes, congratulations!
Yes, I sang a flower bouquet with love.
Okay, now Yudai-san.
How about Takahashi Sayaka?
She's in third place.
I wrote down her voice in my memo, and I thought her voice was good.
And her voice has its own character,
so while so many people are listening to it, it still leaves an impression on you.
So...
Are you okay?
I'm doing a lot of things.
So...
When Takahashi-san finished singing,
Simon-san said, "It's over."
So I wanted to listen to it a little more.
You listen to it a lot.
Yes, I did say that.
You wanted to listen to it a little more, didn't you?
Yes.
I thought, "His voice is like a sunset."
It's amazing.
When Takahashi-san finished singing,
Simon-san said, "Thank you very much."
I thought his voice and impression were amazing.
Yes, thank you very much.
Next, we'll announce second place.
Yes.
Second place goes to...
akb48 Team 8...
Rissen Airi!
Congratulations!
Now, Rissen...
Takeuchi-san!
Yes.
Rissen-san, you came.
Yes.
Actually, personally, I'm also a coach.
I see.
So I support you a little.
But regardless of that, I think you sang a song that I could really listen to.
Yes.
It was wonderful.
Thank you very much.
Yes.
Now, we'll announce first place.
Yes.
Second place goes to...
akb48 Team 8...
oda erina!
Yes! Congratulations!
Thank you very much.
Now, Simon-san!
Yes.
I thought you had a great sense of how to sing the pitch.
I also liked the nuance of it.
Your smile at the end was also very nice.
Including your song selection, I felt like it suited you very well.
Whether a song selection suits you or not links to your self-producing ability.
Yes.
Including that, I think it was very good.
Yes.
Now, Yudai-san, how about you?
First of all, "oh my little girl" is a male song, but it's also Mozaki-san's song.
She said that she interpreted it and sang it in her own way.
I really want to listen to it live with an acoustic guitar and a song.
It makes me want to listen to it.
Thank you very much.
Now, as you can see, we have the results.
Now, Takeuchi-san!
What are your impressions of these 10 people?
Yes.
I feel like they are people who survived because they survived.
Of course, there are still people who will participate in the next round.
We will see what happens in the next round.
But I think it's good for you to have confidence in yourself that you are among the top 10.
I hope you will do your best in the next round.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Now, we will move on to the second half of the first day of the qualifier.
Yes.
Viewers, please continue to tweet your impressions and opinions of the live broadcast with the hashtag #akb48 singer power No. 1 decision line.
Yes.
Now, let's move on to the singer evaluation.
The first group in the second half of the game is SKE48 with 18 judges.
Now, please.
Thank you for watching.
SKE48 Aomino. Thank you for watching.
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 bud, a garden leaf and a swimsuit.
I hope your cute light red dream will come to an end.
I hope your love lasts for a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day bind me and endless waves will stop.
I hope your love lasts for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm Aroni Himeka of SKE48. Thank you for your support.
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'd cry
The wind got cold and it smelled like winter
It's about time for the season
The season is coming
This year's first snow flower
When we're looking at it together
Happiness overflows
It's not about being sweet or being weak
I just want to stay with you forever
I honestly think so
The pure white snow flower that was falling in this city
I'll draw memories in our hearts
From now on and always with you
Thank you very much.
My name is Yoshino Kitagawa of sk48.
Thank you for your support.
I can't say "I love you"
You're the only one I can see
Everytime our eyes meet, everytime you speak to me
It makes me love you, it makes me sad
I love you, but it hurts me
Even now, how do you see me?
When you see someone else, you don't look at them
You make me look back
Even if we kiss and hug each other
It won't work, it won't work
Can I love you?
Can't you love me?
I can't help it anymore, my feelings won't stop
I wish we could be together forever and ever
I'm serious, I'm serious
I like you
Thank you very much!
I'm Mayka Sugiwa of ske48. Nice to meet you!
Mayka Sugiwa of ske48.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, I won't forget your big hope.
Ten years later, August, will we meet again? Believe me.
The best memories...
Our meeting happened in the middle of our way home from the intersection, and you called out to me, "Hey, let's go home together."
I was so, so happy, hiding my face in my bag, as if I was embarrassed.
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, and a 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.
Holding you in my arms and smiling while saying goodbye is so painful, isn't it?
The best memories...
Thank you very much.
My name is Kano Nojima of SKE48.
Nice to meet you.
That's why I decided to go see you now
This song in my pocket, I want you to hear it
I gently turned up the volume and checked it out
Oh good bye days, I feel like they'll change
From yesterday until now, so long
Because I have this uncool kindness by my side
La la la la love with you
If possible, I don't want to feel sad
But you'll come, won't you?
With a smile at that time, yeah hello my friend
I wish I could say it
When we hum the same song, stay by my side
I wish I could meet this uncool kindness
Oh well, goodbye days
S.K.48 Yamauchi Suzuran. Thank you for having me.
Goodbye
We closed the door of our room
And said goodbye to our memories
Since then, half a year has passed
And now we can finally smile again
I'm busy every day
I'm walking my own new life
I want to see you
On sleepless nights, I think of your warmth
I think of your warmth
And gently close my eyes
Thank you very much.
I'm Ego Yuna of SK48.
Nice to meet you.
On the way back home, we played around and walked around.
For no reason at all, I made you angry.
I wanted to see all kinds of faces of you.
Your big eyes and your voice like you're about to cry
still tighten up my heart.
Among the people I passed by, I chased you.
I was looking for something that wouldn't change.
I won't forget you from that day.
There are feelings that transcend time.
I want to see you right now.
I was looking for something that wouldn't change.
I won't forget you of that day.
I have feelings that transcend time.
I want to see you right now.
I loved the sunset on Mutarase Bridge.
It was beautiful.
I said I wanted to live here.
You came all the way to this city on a carriage.
I still 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 is still with me today.
The wide sky and distant mountains are the streets we walked together.
The city with beautiful sunset.
I'm Nalumi Katawaka from SKE48. Thank you for having me.
Only the number of tears can make you stronger, like flowers blooming on asphalt.
Don't be afraid of everything you see, tomorrow will come for you.
I want to see you all of a sudden. What happened in the middle of the night?
Even if I hurry up and joke about it, your smile is sad.
Look, there's moonlight above the building.
If you throw away the memories you're holding on to and your pride,
good things will happen again.
Only the number of tears can make you stronger, like flowers 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 flowers swaying in the wind.
Believe in yourself.
Tomorrow will come, anytime.
Tomorrow will come, for you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Miharu Kawashima of sk48. Nice to meet you.
Ride on a spring-colored train and take me to the sea
Because I'll snuggle up to your cigarette-smelling shirt
Even if half a year has passed since the day we met
I still won't hold your hand
I will follow you
I want to follow you
I will follow you
I may be a little weak-spirited, but you're a wonderful person
I love the red sweet pea that bloomed in my heart
I will follow 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 red sweet pea that bloomed in my heart
Thank you very much!
I'm Shirai Kino from SKE48. Nice to meet you.
Raising up the sky, you reach out for May
I want you to wear it, I want you to wait for my swimsuit
I hope your thin denim colored 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 waves will properly stop.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm Akane Takayanagi of SKE48.
Nice to meet you.
Should I try listening to my favorite song by myself?
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 a day like this would come
Making six with her
No, it's over, it's just that time has piled up
You, who were exhausted, loved my illusion
It's you, isn't it? There's nothing for me to talk about
Making things better, love has disappeared
Don't come running to me again
You, who were exhausted, loved my illusion
Thank you very much.
I'm Nao Furuhata of ske48. Nice to meet you.
Hey, why do you look so sad?
The blue sky is so dazzling
Since when have I been holding hands with you, but you don't give me back the hand I'm holding tight?
If I could say anything, would I be able to go back to that day?
Even if there's only anxiety filling my heart, even if there isn't, it won't disappear
I need you, I want you to love me forever
Just like back then, even if it's a wish that won't come true
Will these feelings always reach your heart?
I love you, I love you, I need you
Why is it that only my heart remains stolen?
If it's a wish that won't come true, please tell me goodbye
Thank you very much.
I'm Ishikawa Canon of SKE48. Thank you for your support.
I'm getting depressed, my face is disappearing
This monochrome, far, far away
Somewhere in this sky, you must be there
At the end of summer, we escaped together
I found you in this park
Do you remember that constellation?
Even if we can't meet, I want to follow my memories
And see the same happiness
I want to run to you 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!
SKE48 Sato Akaho
In the passing of time, I met you.
It's strange that the miracle I wished for is still with me.
I want to see you, but I can't.
Only the time that we can't meet passes me by.
I slip through the door and remember you again.
You and that person laugh together.
My beloved person, don't make me sad.
There are nights when I'm tired of crying and sleeping.
Don't look at the past, just look at me.
You're everything.
Stronger than you think.
If it's a kind lie, I don't want it.
What I want is you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Miki Ito of ske48. Nice to meet you.
Sweat, T-shirt, love I saw you shine brighter than anyone
I found my first feeling A new journey begins
After the rain, there's a blue breeze
Strong sunlight will someday pass me by
The color of love I'm going to draw
The shape of our first page
Fortune-telling magazine On two stars
Let's pile up our futures
My heart is full of scum Your kindness fills me up
Before I know it, my empty heart is filled up
The casual gesture of a sudden moment
Someday I'll talk about my dream
I want to stare at your face forever
I want to smile
Words go beyond time and go beyond eternity
We've been through so many seasons
And we've arrived where we are now
After a long journey
Let's nurture our different love
Thank you very much.
I'm Yui Kato of ske48. Nice to meet you.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, big hope, I won't forget.
I believe we'll meet again in August ten years from now.
I'll make 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 and seemed embarrassed.
Actually, I was 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.
I'll never forget you, the end of summer, our future dream, and our big hope.
I believe we'll meet again in August, ten years from now.
I knew you were shouting "thank you" from the bottom of your heart until the end.
Holding back your tears and smiling at me is a sad goodbye, isn't it?
I'll make the best memories.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kanon Sawada of sk48.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Kanon Sawada of sk48.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Kanon Sawada of sk48.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Kanon Sawada of sk48.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Kanon Sawada of sk48.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Kanon Sawada of sk48.
Tell me why is it sad, you inside, you now
Even if the first touch is the last
Tell me who is inside if I'm allowed
Let me in you again and just stay, pray just stay
When the End of roll doesn't flow, nothing heals anymore
Repeatedly years, the skin stuck above the eyes
Don't say it's true, let's say I need you
Don't say it's true, let's say I miss you
Tell me why is it same, you is same, you and I
Eye can't see same, shoulder same, this and that
Tell me if you easy same, if you'll forgive me
Let me in you again, just for now, stay with me
Thank you very much.
(applause)
Now, in the second half of the game, we first had SKE48 18 people sing.
So, I asked 18 people, "Takeshi-san, how was it?"
Yes, I think that the place where SKE48 members are singing is a little different from where we were before.
I don't know if it's because of that.
I felt a little nervous, but at the same time, it was like a stage trip.
My song will fill this space.
I thought there were a lot of people with such strong feelings.
Yes.
For example, if you were to give it to someone who left an impression on you...
Let's see...
Well, there were really a lot of people.
Of course, Mr. Nojima was amazing.
He had a lot of room to spare.
I think he really wanted to convey his feelings.
Mr. Aomori Hinano, who sang at the end of the game...
Yes.
He was very calm.
I felt like the stage was mine.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Now, Mr. Yudai...
Yes.
Yes, how was it?
That's great.
Many people are good at using microphones.
Microphones?
Microphones.
Of course, I listen to music with headphones, but as a microphone user, I think Mr. Takayanori has a very good voice.
And the three-dimensionality.
Even though it's a recorded sound, it has a proper three-dimensionality.
I think this piano is a pretty loud piano.
But I think it's amazing that a song that doesn't lose to it wins.
Yes, thank you very much.
Now, Mr. Saimon.
That's right.
Well...
Who could it be?
Um... Mr. Yamauchi Suzuran...
Yes.
His singing style...
How do you say it?
The way he hits the lyrics one line at a time with his singing style is very pleasant.
The way he gets caught every time he sings...
Yes, yes, yes.
That was very pleasant.
No matter what you say, I thought the song selection was amazing.
Yes, that was pleasant, too.
Also, there was someone I was really curious about.
I mean, there are quite a lot of song selection "everything".
Mr. Minsha also said "everything" a lot, but...
That's right.
Everyone's pronunciation of "thing" in "everything" is very Japanese-like.
Please do your best there.
I didn't think I'd be taught English.
But it's important, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
That's where the convincing power of the song changes.
Mr. Waga, how did you like it?
Well, I've been here for the first and second time.
And I thought, "Why doesn't this person come out?"
Furuhata!
Furuhata Naozo finally came out.
I thought it was amazing.
How did you like it, Ms. Takeuchi?
I especially thought his expression was wonderful.
Yes.
I was able to feel his feelings in every word he said.
Thank you very much.
Now, let's take a look at some of the comments from viewers of Twitter.
Here's the first one.
As expected of Nojima-san, "That's our Nojima- san!"
It's not that I don't like it, but I've been listening to it for a long time, and I want to keep listening to it for a long time.
I know how you feel.
That was amazing.
You know it, don't you?
Yes.
You know it, don't you?
Wow, that's amazing!
You know it, don't you?
Yes.
Next up is...
That's our Churi-san!
She's a second-time finalist.
Oh, Takaya Nagi.
Yes.
I like Takaya Nagi-san, too.
I wish we could stream her song on subscreen.
I know!
She's from a different generation, too.
She was amazing.
Yes, thank you very much.
Now, let's go back to the singer evaluation.
Lastly, we have AKB48 Team B and Team 4.
In addition, there are a total of 18 researchers who belong to Team 4.
Here you go.
I'm Hitomi Otaki of akb48. Nice to meet you.
Why do we meet each other? We don't know anything.
When do we meet each other? We don't know anything.
Where have you been? Have you been alive?
Under the distant sky, there were two stories.
You are my hand's thread and I am your side's thread.
One day, someone might sell me off.
You are my hand's thread and I am your side's thread.
When we meet someone we should meet, we call it happiness.
Thank you very much.
I'm Maho Oomori of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
On a bright morning, you smile and you open the window.
Tell me how it all began, and we'll go out to the city we always go to.
The two of us have spent our days in vain,
but now we gather up the light we lost and treasure it.
Your dream is now shining.
Thank you for always...
I look you in the eye, but my right hand, which is connected to you, awkwardly conveys my straight feelings to you.
Forever and ever and ever...
With you...
Now, let's slowly walk down this path we believed in.
Thank you!
I'm Shizuka Oya from akb48. Thank you for having me.
When your day ends, I'll be by your side.
Give me a gentle kiss.
If you make me a gentle kiss, I'll run to you, I'll go to you right away.
I'll put everything I have in my mouth, I'll hold my breath, I'll cool my fingers, and I'll go see you right away.
Even if you don't get rewarded, even if you don't get tied up, you are just one unfortunate person.
When this day comes to an end, if you're by my side, I don't need a tomorrow.
I'll stroke your hair, I'll hold your shoulder, until you fall asleep.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Satone Kubo.
Nice to meet you.

I'm Saito Ahayuna of akb48. Thank you for your support!
whisper to me.
I'll be there for you, no matter what.
Sometimes you're in too much of a hurry and you lose yourself, but it can't be helped.
I'll always be watching over you, with a smile like always.
I wonder how many times I've been saved by your smile. Thank you.
Thank you.
Always, always, always, best friend.
Thank you very much.
I'm Taki Takayoko of akb48. Nice to meet you.
The voice of the stars fading into the night sky.
The light blue moon shining in the dawn.
The sea we swam in together.
Why does it change color before we know it?
I don't want you to fall asleep
I still want to feel you
If you're lonely
I can't even stay by your side
Knowing the pain of loss
You can grasp other love
That's what I pray for
When you want to cry or when you're in pain
Just remember me
A place we can lean on on a summer day so far away
Warmth, life, joy
In all of our hearts
Thank you very much!
I'm Meg Taniguchi of AKB48. Nice to meet you!
We were always together, we walked one step at a time
We part ways and walk our own paths.
With a heart overflowing with loneliness
I look up at the sky and feel like I'm about to cry
Anata o omotta ara, kimi ga inai yoru datte Even on a night without you
From then on, I won't cry again. From then on, I won't cry again. Sono makara mou nakanai yo I just can't stop crying.
"Ganbatteiru kara ne"'tte 'I'm working hard,' you said.
"I'll get stronger," you said.
I'm sure you can see it too, this disappearing crescent moon
Because we're connected, because I love you
I reached out for the crescent moon
This feeling I have for you
Thank you very much.
I'm Seina Fukuoka of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
I want to feel it all over my body and keep walking with you in your dream
I'll approach you with nostalgic strides
The sparkling waves fall on the sandy beach
Throw away everything you were so attached to.
I've chosen you now Ima anata ni kimeta no
There's no one left to meet me no matter who I am.
I had half given up Hanbun akirameta
I feel my shaking thoughts all over my body.
I want to stay by your side forever like this Kono mama zutto soba ni itai
Like that blue sky, Aoku kutsunda ano sora no you na
I want to keep walking with you In your dream Kimi to aruki tsuzuketai In your dream
Thank you very much.
I'm Yamabe Ayu from AKB48. Thank you for having me.
My hair caught in my eyes and my fingers scratched apart
My lonely back seems to be about to break
While making the unreliable sun blur
I was staring at your smiling profile
Before I knew it, all of it came into my sight
Why did I notice the pain in my heart?
I'm looking for you
In the depths of my hidden eyes
So that no one can see me
While wandering without a place to go
The world I see with you
Has always been beautiful
There's only one thing left in the sky
A faintly shining little star
Thank you very much!
My name is Asai Nanami and I'm from AKB48.
You said it wasn't a strong excuse.
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 just felt
When I realized for the first time that I could love someone...
I was the one who cried
The constellations of winter that were connected
I was staring at them like they would disappear into the sky
I believe...
Thank you very much!
I'm Kaori Inagaki of AKB48. Nice to meet you!
The love that was T-shirt Dare yori mo kagayaku kimi wo mite Hajimete no kimochi wo mitsuketa yo Arata no tabi ga hajimaru
The sunset will someday overtake us
Korekara egaiteku koi no iro And the love color we'll paint from now on
The page of the beginning will be colored
The sunset behind us, two stars
Let's try to pile up our futures
A heart full of umbrellas that can't be taken away
Anata no yasashisa de fusataru With your kindness, it fills me up
Before I know it, my heart is filling up with gaps.
The casual gestures of the moment I realized
Someday, I'll talk about my dream
I want to stare at your face forever
I want to smile
Words can go beyond time and break through eternity
After going through countless seasons, we've arrived at where we are now
Naga sugita tabi no ato, chikatta ai wo sodate you Let's grow our love, which we swore after a long journey
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Miyu Omori. Thank you for having me.
We were always together, walking down the same path.
We part ways and walk our own separate paths.
Holding my heart overflowing with loneliness,
I look up at the sky that looks like it's about to cry again,
and I think of you.
Even on nights without you, I don't cry that much anymore.
Because you're doing your best, because you're getting stronger.
I'm sure you're looking at this disappearing crescent moon, too.
Because we're connected, because I love you.
I reached out for the crescent moon.
These feelings I want you to know.
Thank you very much.
I'm Nana Okada of AKB48 and 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 anxiety
Even if I cry, even if I cry, you won't disappear
I love you, I love you, I need you forever
I want you to love me like you used to
Even if my wish won't come true
Will these feelings always reach your heart?
I love you, I love you, I need you
If my wish won't come true
Please tell me
Goodbye
Thank you very much.
My name is AKB48 Kurosu Haruka. 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.
Now that we're together, you're so dear to me.
If we hold hands, we can fight. If we hate each other, we can be alone.
Each and every one of them will lead you to where you want to go.
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!
AKB48, I'm Kyo Tachiyama. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for choosing me like this on this journey
Before you use me, please read this instruction carefully
Treat me right and gently, okay?
I won't charge you for anything you say
Please forgive me
Sometimes I'm suddenly in a bad mood
Even if you ask me why
I'll leave it alone even if you don't answer
I'm always sorry
But in such a case
I'll go out with you occasionally
If you praise me regularly, I'll keep it for a long time
Let me notice your beautiful nails or small changes
Keep an eye on me
But you don't have to notice anything unnecessary like getting fat
If you get a little older and look away
Let me remember the day we first met
Let's keep getting along, okay?
Smile and forgive me for being like this
Always treasure me
Because I'm an eternal guarantee
Thank you very much.
I'm Yamauchi Mizuki of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for watching.
"I'm going to see you." That's what I decided.
This song is in my pocket.
I want you to listen to it.
I gently turned up the volume.
I want you to listen to it.
Oh, goodbye days.
I feel like it's going to change now.
It's been so long since yesterday.
I don't look good.
Kindness is by my side.
LaLaLa with you
I don't want to feel sad if possible.
But it will come, won't it?
At that time, with a smile,
Yeah, "Hello, my friend"
I wish I could say it.
When we hum the same song,
Stay with me.
I wish I didn't look good.
I'm glad I met kindness.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Tasena Ishiwata. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
On my way back home, I made fun of you as I walked.
For no reason at all, I made you angry.
I wanted to see all kinds of faces of you.
Your big eyes, your voice like you're about to cry, they still tighten my heart.
As we passed 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 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'm Yuzuka Yoshihashi of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
[Yuzuka Yoshihashi - AKB48]
Even if you're not rewarded, even if you're not connected,
you are just a person of fate.
If I could stay by your side at the end of a day like today,
I don't need a tomorrow.
I'd stroke your hair and hold your shoulders
until you fall asleep.
Thank you very much.
Lastly, we had an under-evaluation of 18 students from AKB48, Team 8, Team 4, and Team 4.
- Mr. Yudai! - Yes?
What did you think of the 18 students?
Hmm... I feel confused.
Confused?
I'm not sure.
Any memorable students?
Let's see...
Mr. Ootake and Mr. Ooya from Top Batter,
well, they are the third place,
but they had a sense of stability and I really liked them.
And of course, Mr. Asai and Mr. Okada were really good.
I don't think there's much to criticize about them.
- All right, Mr. Asaimon! - Yes?
What did you think of them?
I noticed that the pianist's mask changes every song.
It's like this every time, but the MVP of this competition is the pianist.
- Just him? - Yes.
Out of 130 musicians, just him.
- So he was trying to make a difference with his mask. - That's right.
I change my mask depending on my mood.
I respect you as a pianist, and of course you as a singer.
What I was curious about was...
Mr. Okada was great.
His pitch was perfect and he had a good sense of rhythm.
The lyrics were great and I think there was a really high falsetto in the song.
It was perfect, and the technical aspect of it was perfect.
I wish there was another color.
- Another color? - Yes.
I wish there was another color that would complement Mr. Okada's singing.
I think there is enough of it, but I wish there was another color.
I think that would make Mr. Okada's singing even better.
- You're talking about a high level of singing. - Yes, a high level of singing.
Thank you for saying that.
Mr. Takeuchi, what did you think of it?
All of you who just said your names were really great.
I could really feel all of you coming together.
Mr. Asai's low voice and strong heart were well balanced.
I thought it went really well with the song "Orion" you chose.
Mr. Yoshihashi, you're a research student and I really like your voice.
I think it would suit you well if you sang a song with a lot of drama.
Thank you for saying that.
Mr. Waga, what did you think of it?
Oh, you're so quiet.
I don't know...
I've known you for a long time.
The more you sing well, the more you make me laugh.
I'm sorry.
- That's your personality. - I'm sorry, Shi-chan.
- But I think you sang well. - Thank you.
Let's see the comments from our viewers on Twitter.
First of all,
First and second times in a row, you're in first place in the qualifier.
It's amazing how stable you are.
- It was good. - It was good.
Even though we're watching a music video here, the atmosphere in the studio changes.
- That's right. - It's amazing.
- I was surprised. - Yes.
- Shall we move on? - Yes, let's move on.
It's the same song, but the stage is different and the world is different.
It's interesting.
- That's true. - Is there such a thing?
Mr. Saimon, if the singer is different...
That's right.
I think it's an interesting way of enjoying it if the song is quite similar.
I think it's something that life sings and comes in.
Depending on which song it is,
the overlap of life and song can be heard by listeners.
I think enjoying the difference is one of the benefits of singing in the final round.
- That's right. - Thank you.
- Shall we move on? - Yes.
I was nervous just by looking at it.
- So... - "Ito."
- "Otake."
- Let's start with Mr. Otake. - Yes.
- How was it? - How was it, Mr. Otake's "Ito"?
I really like Mr. Otake's heavy voice.
As Mr. Saimon said earlier, "Ito" is a song that expresses your own sense of life.
- I was able to convey it. Thank you. - That's good.
That's it for the first and second round.
- Judges, thank you for your hard work. - Thank you.
Okay, so...
Mr. Yudai, who do you think is in first place?
I don't like this role.
- Can't we do something about it? - It's always you, Yudai.
- It's always me. - It's you for the first day.
Be prepared for the second day.
- Oh, I see. - Yes.
- I understand. - Yes.
How about you?
Huh?
Mr. Yudai is currently in first place with 20 votes.
Thank you for your patience.
The first round of the final round of the group singing power No. 1 final round, AKB48 Group, has come to an end.
Out of all 68 members of AKB48 and SKE48, which member is in first place?
If you are not in first place here, you will not be able to advance to the finals.
That's why it's pretty tough for the new members of AKB48.
If you don't make it to the 20th place here, you won't be able to advance to the finals.
Now, let's announce the results of the first day of the qualifier.
First of all, we will announce the results of the 20th to the 11th place.
First of all, there are three people in the 19th place, so we will announce it from the 19th place.
Here we go.
First of all, the first person in the 19th place is...
AKB48 Team 4, Miyu Oomori!
Congratulations!
I haven't heard of her name yet, so...
Would anyone like to hear it?
Would you like me to summarize it for you?
Yes, please.
The second person in the 19th place is...
AKB48 Team 8, Hinako Okuhara!
Congratulations!
The third person in the 19th place is...
AKB48 Team 8, Manaka Taguchi!
Congratulations!
The three of you are in the 19th place.
Here you go, Saimo.
I haven't been able to follow my own memo yet.
That's right, you haven't been able to follow your own memo yet.
From the person who was chasing you, you are the winner!
Thank you, Daniel.
The 19th place is Miyu Oomori.
That's right, I haven't heard of her name yet.
Actually, I've been checking your comments.
I was a little nervous today, but I thought you had a great singing voice.
What I want to say is...
I felt that the feelings I had for this song really reached you.
I also gave it a score.
Thank you very much.
And then...Yudai!
What do you think about this?
Can either of you finish it?
No, I...
Can I say it?
Yes, please.
Okay, Saimo.
Hinako Okuhara!
I liked her singing voice the most.
Oh, really?
I thought it was unique.
The song selection was also very good.
Yes, yes.
So...
Her singing ability has improved even more.
And of course, she has a good pitch.
When those things are combined together, it feels like she's really good.
Yes, thank you.
Yes.
Then, Yudai!
Yes!
How about you, Manaka?
Yes, well...
At first, I had the impression that she was singing very carefully.
Of course, I also checked it.
That's what I had the impression of.
She's a careful singer, and she's naturally good at singing.
Yes, thank you.
Now, what's next?
18th place.
18th place is...
"akb48" "team 8" Yui Oguri!
Oh, congratulations!
Congratulations!
Now, Oguri-chan...
Yes.
The one who finished first...
Oh, no, Saimo-san.
Yes, yes.
Um...
I think you sang the song "daisuki" (I love you).
Um...
The rhythm was really good.
Yes.
The song itself had a great beat.
Even if you sang it in acapella, it had a really groovy feel to it.
Also, I think it would have been better if you had more facial expressions.
And since you like the song "daisuki" (I love you)
I think it would have been better if you had more of a "daisuki" feeling.
But...
Yes.
18th place.
Yes, congratulations!
Now, what's next?
17th place.
17th place is...
akb48 team 8...
hamasa yuna!
Yes, congratulations!
Hamasa-chan has been selected.
Yes.
Now, how did you like it?
Now, the one who selected you is...
Yes.
Oh, no, Yurei-san.
Yes.
As I said earlier, she was able to express her emotions really well.
Of course, you need to be good at singing and all that,
but she was able to convey her emotions through that.
She made up a story and practiced really hard for it.
It's simply conveyed.
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
Now, what's next?
Next up is 16th place.
16th place is...
ske48 research student...
sawada canon!
Yes, congratulations!
ske48 research student...
Yes.
I don't think her name was mentioned, but...
she sang "inside you".
Yes.
How did you like it, Mr. Sawada?
She had a lot of low-pitched power,
and I think she knew what she was good at.
She made use of that in her song selection.
However, instead of that,
in the chorus, she goes high-pitched.
I think that was a little better.
Well, yes.
From top to bottom,
she sang songs with a wide range of keys.
Of course, she had low-pitched power,
but I thought it would be better if she could sing higher.
Thank you.
Now, what's next?
Next up is 14th place.
Yes.
First place is...
akb48 research student...
yoshihashi yuzuka!
Yes, congratulations!
Congratulations!
Here you go.
Yes.
And the second place...
Yes.
The second place in 14th place...
Yes.
The second place is...
ske48 team "s"...
aoumi hinano!
Yes, congratulations!
Thank you!
What does it say?
Yes.
Is it two of you?
Yes, it's two of us.
Takeuchi-san, would you like to say something?
Yes, well, both of you...
Oh, yes!
The one with the name...
Yes, the one with the name...
Yes.
Well, since you're a research student,
I'm sure you're going to be a researcher in the future,
but I'm really looking forward to it.
I could see that you were already trying to express yourself boldly like this.
And you, aoumi-san, are really calm.
Well, maybe in the future...
Well...
When you stand on the stage in the future,
well...
I don't know how to say it...
I think you're going to push yourself more and more,
and you're going to put your feelings on top of the stability you have now.
I'm sure that's what you're going to show us in the future.
Oh, I'm looking forward to it.
Yes.
Yes, thank you!
Now, and then...
Next!
Yes, there are two more people,
and they will be announced in 12th place.
Yes.
In 12th place, the first person is...
"akb48" "team 8" Kawahara Misaki!
Yes, congratulations!
Congratulations!
Now, in 12th place...
Oh, there's one more.
And the other person...
In 12th place, the other person is...
"akb48" "team 8" Yokoyama Yui!
Yes! Congratulations!
Now, how was it for these two?
Yes, then Yudai-san!
Yes!
Um, Kawahara-san is really...
Yes.
A person who sings very honestly,
and, um...
How do you say it...
It's settled down properly.
It's not in a bad way,
but there was a feeling that you were able to sing it properly.
No, first of all, I like the way you grab it in the beginning.
I get the impression that you look at it a lot.
Yes.
Now, Yokoyama Yui.
How was it for you?
Now, Saimo-san!
Yes!
Um, you have a lot of charm.
Um, I think the song was "moonlight" as well.
Um...
You have a lot of charm,
and also, the pitch...
Yes, the pitch is important.
Um, you have a lot of charm,
and I think it's just as difficult as the pitch,
but you have a lot of personality,
and I had the impression that it would be nice if you could hit the pitch.
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
Yes.
Now, let's move on.
Now, we have two more people,
so we'll announce the 10th place.
Yes!
10th place!
Yes, we'll move on to the 10th place.
First, the 10th place is...
akb48 team b...
Ooya Shizuka!
Yes!
Congratulations!
Yes!
Ooya-san.
10th place.
Ooya-san.
Yes.
And the 10th place is...
akb48 team b...
Ootake Hitomi-san!
Yes!
Congratulations!
Now, over here...
Ah, and with that...
Well, half of you are here now, right?
Yes.
Well, with that said...
Now, first of all, the 10th place is...
Ooya Shizuka!
Yes.
Now, Takeuchi-san.
How did you like it?
Well, it's like...
it's like an adult song, or rather...
it left me with the impression that your voice had a sense of sadness.
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
It's like you're talking to someone, right?
Yes.
Thank you.
Hitomi-san.
"Ito".
The song you sang.
You're the only one singing it today, right?
How did you like it, Yudai-san?
She really...
well...
first of all, there are parts where you can really hear the lyrics.
And also, up to the high tone, you can hear her voice clearly.
It's like...
it's like...
how do I say it...
I think it's because of her voice quality, but...
it's like...
you can hear it, right?
The lyrics.
That really left me with an impression.
It's written there.
Yes, I also wrote it.
Yes, yes, yes.
The lyrics really reach you.
Yes, yes, yes.
I think it's that kind of impression.
I see.
Yes, thank you.
Yes.
Now, starting from here...
the top nine people in the first day of voting.
Yes.
The nine people will be announced.
Yes.
First, ninth place is...
akb48
team 4
asai nanami
Congratulations!
Here...
Yes.
asai nanami
Yes.
Is that one person?
Yes, it's two of you.
Ah, yes.
That being said...
Then...
Takeuchi-san.
asai nanami
Yes.
As I thought...
Asai-san came in first place.
It's like...
it's like...
how do I say it...
the voice itself...
how do I say it...
it's like...
I felt something like my existence and...
my singing world came through through...
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Okay, next up...
Yes, next up...
The eighth place announcement.
Okay.
The eighth place goes to...
akb48
team 8
takahashi sayaka
Yes, congratulations!
Okay.
At first...
what did you think of it?
Yes, yes, yes.
She said her voice was "sunken".
Yes, that's right.
I was really interested in the pattern of the T-shirt she was wearing, but I didn't know what pattern she was wearing.
But there were about four people in the school, so I'll leave it at that.
I think you'll be able to see it tomorrow.
Oh, yes.
No, I have a great impression of her and she is quite popular among me.
Her song "flower bouquet", which contains love, is also a song that requires a lot of singing ability, but she sang it beautifully, so in that sense, I had the impression that she had self- produced ability.
She sang the song she had in her head.
I think it's very important.
Now, let's move on to the announcement of 7th place.
7th place is...
akb48 Team 8, Rissen and Airi!
Yes, congratulations!
Rissen and Airi has been ranked in 7th place!
Now, Mr. Yudai!
How was "Rissen and Airi" for you?
It was a stable singing ability.
It's also Mr. Ichiwaya's song, but it's a little different from the original song, and I had the impression that it was expressed in his own way.
The expression...
Yes, thank you.
Now, let's move on!
Here is the announcement of 6th place.
6th place is...
akb48 Team 8, Erina Oda!
Yes, congratulations!
Oda-kun!
Yes, congratulations!
Yes!
You were in 1st place earlier!
6th place!
Oh, I see!
Now, Mr. Saimo!
Yes!
Um...
I like the way you took the pitch.
And I like the nuance.
And...
It's a song like "oh my little girl".
And you said "thank you" with a nice smile at the end.
I like that gap.
It's important for idols.
Yes!
Now, let's move on!
Now, you two are here, so I'll announce 4th place.
4th place!
First one is...
ske48 Team k-2, Furuhata Nao!
Yes, congratulations!
Congratulations!
Yes!
And the other one is...
4th place and another one is...
ske48 Team k-2, Takayanagi Akane!
Yes, congratulations!
Yes!
It's lined up.
Yes, it's lined up.
It's easy to get!
Yes!
Now, which one is it?
Furuhata-san...
and Takeuchi-san...
What do you think of it?
Well...
As I said before,
it's about expressiveness.
I felt that they were well prepared
about how to tell the story.
And I felt that they were well prepared about how to sing.
And Takayanagi-san...
I think he had a strong consciousness
that he was a musician.
I was attracted to him.
His expression...
Yes, I think it was wonderful.
Yes! Now...
Now, I'll announce Top 3.
3rd place is...
ske48 Team s, Yamauchi Suzuran!
Yes, congratulations!
She's strong!
Yes!
Now...
Shall we announce Top 1?
Yes, congratulations!
Now...
Yes, Yamauchi Suzuran!
Now, Saimon-san!
Yes!
As I said earlier...
Yes!
Well...
The song's...
I think it's related to the rhythm.
Well...
Matsuda Seiko-san's "Anata ni Aitakute..."
It's a ballad.
When the song starts...
I said earlier that I felt the rhythm.
If it's an up-tempo song...
I think it's important.
It's a ballad and it's well-balanced.
I think it's wonderful.
I'd like to listen to it again.
It's a live broadcast.
Yes, it's a live broadcast.
Yes, now...
I'll announce 2nd place.
2nd place is...
akb48 Team 4 - sku48 Okada Nana!
Yes, congratulations!
Thank you!
Okada-san is 2nd place.
2nd place!
Okada Nana is 2nd place!
2nd place!
Well...
Yes...
Well...
Let's see...
Yes, Yudai-san!
Yes!
Am I 2nd place?
Yes.
Of course...
I don't know about the scores of the top players.
But I'm really scared.
To be honest, I'm in 10th place.
But I don't think it's like that.
I think it's okay to talk about our preferences and things like that.
I think it's okay.
I think so, too.
Yes...
Well, now...
And the 1st place of the first day of the qualifier is...
sku48 Team S - Nojima Kano!
Yes, congratulations!
Thank you!
Wow, that's amazing!
Yes!
So, from the 1st day of the qualifier to the final tournament, these 20 players got a chance to advance to the finals!
Congratulations!
Now...
Let's see...
Yes, Saimon-san!
Yes!
And Nojima Kano is in 1st place!
Yes, as expected!
Yes...
But...
How do you think?
Well, I joined the tournament for the first time.
But if you look at it closely, it's an unexpected ranking.
Of course, there are good players, but...
The subtle order of the rankings is very exquisite.
To be honest, it's a little different from what I thought.
It's like, "Oh, I see."
Yes...
And...
The only comment that was left earlier...
Takayanagi-san?
Yes!
No one commented on you, so I'll talk about you for now.
Yes...
You have a very good personality and...
Um...
What was it?
You're in 4th place, right?
Yes, 4th place.
I thought, "Oh, I'm in 4th place."
And this guy...
Even though he sings very well and his vowels are very clear...
His vowels are not very clear.
Sometimes, it's hard for him to hear the lyrics.
If his vowels were clearer, I think it would have been better.
Yes...
And you're in 4th place, right?
Yes.
Ah... 4th place...
It's hard to tell, isn't it?
Yes...
So...
A.k.a.b48 group singing talent number is decided!
The first day of the qualifying round is almost over!
Yes!
Yes, and the second day of the qualifying round for AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round will be broadcast live from 8 p.m. tomorrow night for four and a half hours!
Yes, it's longer than today!
Tomorrow's qualifying round will be judged by four groups and 20 people will advance to the final tournament!
Yes, so everyone, please take a look!
Well, uh...
So, uh...
Well, after the first day of the qualifying round...
Well, uh...
Mr. Yudai!
Yes!
What will happen tomorrow!?
Please watch it!
Yes!
No, please watch it!
It will be broadcast from 8 p.m. tomorrow night for four and a half hours!
See you tomorrow!
Goodbye!
