Thank you for having me.
I'm looking forward to it. Thank you for having me.
Next up is Ms. Honoka Yano, who was in the third place in the qualifying round.
Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me. I'm Honoka Yano.
You must have felt frustrated in the last tournament.
Yes, but I'm the most relieved to be here in the third tournament.
I'm glad I was able to make it to the finals of "Stay Hot Eight" so I'd like to sing a wonderful song and go home.
Thank you for having me today.
Thank you for having me.

It's Kurosawa Kaoru from Gosperars!
Good evening, everyone. I'm Kurosawa, and I always sing.
This is my second time being a judge, but I'm not used to it at all.
I'm the most nervous.
I'll do my best today, so thank you for having me.
- Thank you for having me. - Thank you for having me.
Next up is a singer who is known for many songs,
such as "Cruel Angel's Thesis" and "Soul's Refrain."
Yoko Takahashi is a singer.
Good evening, everyone.
This is my first time being a judge.
I may be more nervous than you are,
but please relax and let me sing my best song.
- Thank you for having me. - Thank you for having me.
And now, we will have three rounds in a row of judging of the finals.
The songwriter who has composed many songs for the AKB48 group is Mr. Inoue Yoshimasa.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
To be honest for the third time,
those of you who didn't win anything until now, please take it back with you today.
- Thank you for having me. - Thank you for having me.
Lastly, we will have Yuzu-san, who is in charge of qualifying for this tournament,
and the singer-songwriter who participated in Yuzu- san's live performance as a bandmaster, Mr. Saimon Isogai.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
I've been watching all of your 134 singers since the qualifying round,
and even though I saw you in the video at the time,
I'm looking forward to hearing all of your songs live on such a big stage like this for the first time in a while.
- Thank you for having me. - Thank you for having me.
Today, we will have these four people judge the final tournament.
Once again, Mr. Kurosa, the final tournament is finally about to begin.
- That's right. I also voted for it, so I feel a lot of responsibility right now. - Yes.
The voices you were singing in the hallway earlier kept echoing in the dressing room.
I'm sure you all practiced so hard and practiced so hard to become good singers.
I'm sure there were times when you were frustrated and couldn't do it.
Since we have today to overcome all of those things,
music is written as "enjoying the sound,"
so please enjoy the live band performance and sing with all your might.
That's wonderful. Thank you.
- And, Ms. Takahashi, this is your first time judging, - Yes.
but what are you paying attention to?
That's right. I think that singing is how you live your life,
so I want you to see and hear what kind of wonderful life you will have,
and what kind of wonderful dreams you will have in the future.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
- I'm looking forward to it. - Thank you.
- Please stand by for the chorus. - Thank you.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
- Please send them the chorus again. - Thank you.
- Each chorus will begin now. - Yes.
- This tournament changes your fate at any time of the night. - Yes.
- Who will shine in that glory? - Yes.
- Now, I will explain the rules of this tournament. - Yes.
The person who will explain the rules is...
...AKB48 Group Sports Day and Rock-paper-scissors Tournament MC...
...DJ and narrator, Nobutake Ichikawa.
- Mr. Ichikawa, please. - Thank you for having me.
- Thank you for having me.
- Now, I will explain the rules of this tournament. - Thank you for having me.
- Now, we will have a vocal assessment for each of the four groups. - Yes.
The judges will rate each group with full marks...
...and the top two groups will advance to the finals.
The members who advance to the finals will perform one more song.
The member with the highest score will be the winner of the final vocal assessment.
The member who wins the final vocal assessment...
...will be able to listen to Mr. Yasushi Akimoto's original solo song.
I'd like to ask Ms. Murayama, but it's nice to have an original solo song, isn't it?
Yes, I think it's not easy to get a solo song, and I'm sure there are many members who like singing and participating in this project, so I'm definitely happy with a solo song.
Who will shine in that glory? Thank you for your attention.
In addition to the original solo song, the finalist live performance will also be held for eight people who advanced to the finals.
In addition, there will be a special award for judges from this competition.
In the final competition, one of the eight finalists will receive a special award from the judges.
The members who were chosen will appear in the finalist live performance.
Ms. Murayama, aren't you happy with this kind of live performance?
No, I think this is a live performance of those who have been chosen, so I think this will probably lead to this one step of wanting to win.
Those who want to see it also want to see it very much, so I'd love to look forward to it.
Thank you very much. I think it will be a big motivation for us.
Now, it seems that the singer has made a standby.
Those of you who are watching the live broadcast, please give us your impressions with the hashtag #akb48singerpowerno.1 deciding line and tweet us more and more.
Who will be the singer of this competition?
First of all, the first group, five singer judges.
First group, HKT48 Toyonaga Aki.
Thank you for watching.
A simple step thrown and a step in the dust.
A dial I look at and pass by. A number I write like this.
An exit I spit out. I'm confused.
Even if I cry all day, it's meaningless.
My abs are getting wet.
Drop it, cherry.
I look up at the sky and fly. I pick it up and put it in my mouth.
I spit it out, cherry.
What's more important than speed is my mouth.
Cherry, I'm always upbeat.
Melt me more in my heart.
Do you know that I'm beautiful?
A moment later, I'm red.
I spit it out more and more.
Cherry.
I spit it out more and more.
Cherry, I'm always upbeat.
Fly away, cherry.
The fruit you touch is also seductive.
Your cheek is a vivid hydroplic.
I'm getting numb, cherry.
The temptation of papaya on a dry morning.
Cherry on your lips.
If you don't tell me, I'll freeze.
Cherry, I'm always upbeat.
You make me tremble, more.
Your cheeks are beautiful.
I'm getting numb, cherry.
Your cheek is a vivid hydroplic.
I'm getting numb, cherry.
The temptation of papaya on a dry morning.
Cherry on your lips.
If you don't tell me, I'll freeze.
I'm getting numb, more and more.
Your cheeks are beautiful.
I'm getting numb, cherry.
The temptation of papaya on a dry morning.
Cherry on your lips.
If you don't tell me, I'll freeze.
Fifth place goes to...
NMB 48, Yamasaki Amir.
YAMASAKI Amir - "Torimukosaresou na no"
I feel like I'll be left behind, alone in the dark
Even my words are drowned out and my heart is broken
But I won't give up, I won't give up, even if I'm betrayed and it's painful
Now is the time to open the door of freedom and take flight
Raise your heart's voice and remain silent is the wise thing to do
I've been taught this, but I know it's wrong, so let's speak out now.
That's right, I won't let anyone get in my way
Ah, I can't stay silent any longer
Raise your heart and voice and shout
No matter how betrayed you are, that's right, don't lose
Raise your heart and voice and shout
Even if you're locked up, you'll never give up
Release your broken wings into the sky
Listen to that voice that whispers
Raise your heart and voice and shout
No one can stop you now
Shout it out now
Open the door of freedom and fly away
Raise your heart and voice and shout
First place and third place goes to STU-48 Mahina Taniguchi.
"Happiness" Mahina Taniguchi
What is happiness?
A starry night and a dazzling morning
It's not like repeating
I fell upon someone important to me
By making the rain hurt
I don't need an answer to live my life
If I could protect the people I want to meet and the things I need a little
Without stretching my back or falling into my hands
If I could lose my loving feelings just the way I am
Happiness is not like starry nights and dazzling mornings repeating.
By making your loved ones feel hurt by the rain that falls on them
And before I knew it, I was the one being protected.
I want you to always be by my side
Whether I open my eyes or close them
First group, fourth place is SKE48 YAMAUCHI SUZURAN.
YAMAUCHI SUZURAN
Times are changing now
We have wishes
These tears and that smile
They all connect us
[music]
Things I can't put into words, things that make me cry
Everything I felt with my trembling heart
Made me who I am now
Our meeting and our farewell made me feel stronger
Because of the day we promised to hold hands
We are here now
Can you hear this gentle song?
There are words that push me back
This life, this moment
Become someone's light
Wind, blow away
I want to live with you
Even when the sky clears up and it gets sad
I'm not alone, my voice is there
I want to laugh with you
I want to share dreams with you
I hope we can sing together, I hope we can play together
This era, us, and this moment
Fifth place goes to STU-48 Yano Honoka.
I never thought of you as a friend
Ever since the day I met you
There are things that have changed
But there are things that haven't changed
There's a lot of me, too
Until I couldn't see the hot way home
Until I was really small, I watched you
I loved you
Even now
Summer hair cuts my cheek
As I grow older, I'm sure I'll remember
Your shadow
My words, your face when you cry
Your lips when they touch mine
I swore I'd be by your side
Your love, your love
I love...
The first group of singing competition of AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Finals has ended.
It's hard, isn't it?
It's hard!
We will talk about it with those who have just finished singing.
First of all, Tonega-san of Toppipatta.
Yes.
Were you able to sing as you wanted?
Well, when I was chosen for the first song, I was really nervous.
However, I was told that the song selection was also quite difficult, so I hope the first atmosphere will be completely changed.
You made the stage yours.
Really? Thank you.
Yes, it was a wonderful song. Please give her a big hand.
Next, Yamasaki-san.
Yes.
For this year, you sang with strong feelings, didn't you?
I think I was able to sing with those feelings in this song.
Were you able to sing as you wanted?
Yes, I have no regrets.
You have no regrets!
Yes.
It was wonderful. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Next, Taniguchi-san.
Yes.
Taniguchi-san, how did you like it?
Well, I'm really hungry now.
Are you hungry?
I want to eat now.
Do you want to eat now?
Yes.
Are you hungry now?
Did you use up all of your energy?
Yes.
I sang a lot of songs, so I hope they will reach a lot of people.
I was moved by your songs.
But there may be second songs.
Yes.
Yes. Please do your best.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Next is Yamauchi-san. Yes.
How did you feel when you sang it?
After it finished, tears came out.
I was always in a tense state of tension.
After it finished, I was relieved and tears came out.
It's not just a lie. It's true.
But I always decided to say it with a smile.
I will do my best with a smile until the end.
Thank you very much.
It's not just a lie.
Thank you very much.
And Yano-san. Yes.
This is the second time you cried because of an injury.
And you sang on this stage.
How did you feel?
Yes. I was blown away by the comments of STU's Mahina Taniguchi and SKY's Suzuran.
I sang it with the hope of changing the atmosphere of the venue.
But I sang it comfortably. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
You all showed us a great performance.
Then I will ask the judges as well.
Kurosa-san.
First of all, the first group of five people finished singing.
How was it?
The level is very high.
To be honest, it's very difficult for me to judge.
It's much more difficult than last year.
Until last year, everyone focused on how much technique you could do.
This year, it's one step further.
Everyone seems to be singing with care about how to deliver the words.
So it's very difficult for me to sing any song.
It's difficult for you to judge.
It means that you have improved your expressiveness.
I think so.
I think you've improved a level.
Thank you very much.
Takahashi-san.
First of all, the first group of five people finished singing.
How was it?
I didn't think I could see you singing with such a straight face from the beginning.
Actually, I'm very moved now.
I want all of you to stay, but I don't think that's possible.
So we'd like you to judge us carefully.
I see. Thank you very much.
I'd like to ask the cheering members for their comments.
Maeda-san, how did you like it?
Everyone's worldview is really amazing.
I was very attracted to it.
Yamasaki Amiru of the same team used her whole body to sing.
It was such a wonderful performance that I couldn't help but tremble.
Thank you very much.
Can I ask you a lot of questions?
Yes.
SK's Yamauchi Suzuran-chan.
When I heard you sing, I was so moved that I almost cried.
When I saw you singing and facing the song with all your might, I thought you were really cool.
Are you okay? Are you crying?
I'm not crying!
It's coming out!
Are you okay?
I thought you were really cool, including the way you looked.
Thank you!
Thank you very much.
That was the first singing evaluation.
Everyone, please give them a big hand!
Thank you very much, everyone.
Thank you very much.
I would like to hear more of your singing voices, but only two of you can go to the top.
It's a fierce battle.
That's right.
This is where it's hard, but it's also a point of attention.
Let's go back to the singer review.
Next up is the second group of five people.
The first of the second group is STU48 Mineoshi Arisa.
[♫ STU48 Arisa]
No way, no way, no way at all!
Second place goes to...
HKT48...
ERINA SAKAMOTO!
(I don't know what I'm saying here, but I hope you enjoyed this video!)
(If you liked this video, please subscribe and like the video! Thank you!)
I'm sure, I'm sure there's something missing in everyone's life
We overestimate ourselves and hurt others
We kiss and hug each other
Maybe that's good
We've always forgotten how to love each other
The joy of believing in each other and the sadness of hurting each other
Someday, we'll be able to love each other as we are
Time goes by
The moment the scars left behind disappear
I'm sure you'll understand the meaning of true kindness
Someday...
Second place and third place goes to...
NGT48...
Hino Mimura!
It's a big party!
It's a big party today!
The windows and doors are already open
After all, it's been a long time
There are so many plates too
The room that was closed
Was decorated beautifully for a celebration
In a completely different place
Strange feelings
I was dreaming of this moment
Yes, for the first time in my life
I pray to music
For the first time in my life
I start dancing
I'm so happy that I'm about to fly up
I'm not alone anymore
Like a dream
Today, I'll meet a lot of people
Maybe I'll meet someone destined for me
Tonight, I'll wear a beautiful dress and be fashionable
I'll be more attractive than anyone else
All of a sudden, I noticed
I'm a nice young man
But I'm embarrassed, so I'll eat chocolate
We'll talk about a lot of things and get along
For the first time in my life, my heart is dancing with strange feelings
For the first time in my life, I want you to call my name
Let's ride in the romance that will come our way
Yes, for the first time in my life, for the first time in my life
I wonder if it's wisdom
Second place and fourth place goes to...
AKB48...
Rissen...
Airi.
I'm trying to hold my breath
Let it stay this way
Can't let these moments end
You said of a dream in me
Getting louder now
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand
Will you say this with me?
'Cause darling, without you...
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we see from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
'Cause I was a girl, I stood too little
These hands could hold the world very long
Never be enough
For me...
Never, never...
For me... For me...
For me...
Second place and fifth place goes to...
HKT48 Akioshi Yuka.
Thank you for watching.
On top of a scattered floor, I held my knees in awkwardness.
A promise I can't keep is staining my calendar.
I'm glad a day like this came.
I'll show you more of my kisses.
When I remember every single one of them,
I want to be by your side more than anyone else.
Without you, but you are mine.
Through the night and days, through my bitter pain, please, somebody say hello.
Oh, now my heart is almost blind.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In your eyes, in your sight, what is that only my brain knows?
Tell me, please, the reason of your love for me.
Can I cry now?
Let's look for that scar
Even though we were born so close
Would it be better if we didn't meet?
Shine this when you are mine
And with that, the second group's singing assessment is over.
We will now go and talk with everyone who has finished singing.
First of all, I would like to commend this group's top batter, Mineuchi-san.
Yes.
I'm sure you were nervous, but were you able to sing as you thought you would?
Yes, I was very nervous about being the second group's top batter,
but after listening to the songs of Mahi-chan and Hono- tan, who sang in the first group,
and Mitchum-san, who came to cheer for me, danced for me while listening to me sing,
so I was able to enjoy singing.
Thank you very much.
Next, Sakamoto-san.
Yes.
I'm sure you have practiced a lot for being in the finalists' live.
Yes, that's right.
This is my third final tournament, and when I come here, I get really nervous,
but I was more nervous during rehearsals, and when I saw the faces of the audience and the judges,
I think I was able to calm down in a good way.
It was the most fun I've ever had.
Thank you very much.
Also, Mimura-san, who had great expressiveness,
Yes.
How was it?
Yes, I was really nervous.
Yes, but I think I was able to convey my nervousness to you, too.
I was really nervous, but I hope I was able to tell you the first story of the queen of Anna and Yuki.
It's like... the more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm in trouble,
but it was a lot of fun, so...
Yes.
It was fun!
It was wonderful.
Thank you very much.
Next, Rissen-san.
Yes.
Rissen-san, you were singing barefoot, weren't you?
Did you find out? I'm wearing it now.
Yes, we know.
Yes.
But you had a wonderful expression. How was it?
Thank you very much.
Well, the song I sang is the movie "Greatest Showman" in Chinese.
The scene and the feeling of light in this venue are a little similar.
Even though I have a lot of things, I don't have enough.
I think I was able to sing it well.
It was fun. Thank you very much.
And finally, Akiyoshi-san.
Yes.
How did you like this stage?
It was more fun to sing with the band than being nervous.
I sang a love song, so I feel like I'm in love.
But it was that much fun.
Are you confident of staying in the final?
I want to stay.
Thank you very much.
You were all wonderful singers.
Please give them a big hand once more.
Now I'd like to ask the judges.
Inoue-san, I think each group had their own personality and expression. What did you think of them?
Well, this is my third time being a judge this year.
The songs you chose have some points in them.
The songs we listened to last year and "Let's count you in" were quite challenging.
Yes.
"Let's count you in" is also a song you all know.
In that sense, Mineoshi-san, you've made quite an adventure.
I think you've probably doubled the number of gigs you've played in a band.
I'm a musician, so I'd like to know about that, too.
It was great.
You had a great voice that didn't get buried by the band's huge volume.
And Mimura-san, you were a champion of feelings.
Yes.
I could feel it in your voice.
Thank you.
It was great.
Thank you.
Akiho-san, you have a low voice.
Thank you.
You're like a woman from Kyushu who shakes the earth.
Thank you.
I'm enjoying it.
Thank you.
Inoue-san is enjoying it, too.
Next up is Isogai-san.
Could you show us your songs?
I've been watching you in the video during the qualifying round.
First of all, I'm simply enjoying the fact that you're playing live.
Each of you has a distinct personality.
I'm enjoying your personality.
Akiho-san, who remained in first place in the qualifying round,
was finally able to play live.
She was overwhelmed by your power.
Mimura-san, your musical worldview spread to the venue at once.
Of course, Rissen-san's musical worldview was amazing, too.
Mineoishi-san, too.
I was surprised at first.
The moment you spoke up.
Thank you.
Yamamoto-san, too.
You sang like you were wrapping up the venue.
It's difficult.
It's hard to say.
As a judge, I don't know what to do now.
That's how great you were.
Thank you.
As a judge, I think it was a group where each choice was shining.
Yamamoto-san, how about you?
I'm Mimura Hino-chan of NJT48.
As the judges said, I was drawn in.
I thought it was a competition ceremony and checked my clothes.
You said you enjoyed music.
I think that's what you were best at.
I think you know the future of NJT48.
Thank you.
And one more person, Sakaguchi-san.
We were drawn into your songs from the first block.
And here we have two members of HKT.
Even when we were choosing songs, we were thinking about how we could make our songs shine.
That's right.
I'm not lying.
We were thinking about how we could make our songs shine.
Everyone accepted our feelings for today.
The atmosphere was great and I wanted to drink a cocktail.
Yes, the atmosphere was great.
Thank you very much.
She was moved.
That was the second group of vocal judges.
Everyone, please give them a round of applause.
Thank you very much.
I'm sure each group has its own unique way of singing.
It was a wonderful song.
Let's go back to the vocal judges.
Next up is the third group of five.
The first group of three is...
AKB48...
ASAHI NANAMI.
I'm sorry I can't be honest with you
"I love you" is all I can say
But still, thank you for giving birth to me
I'm happy to be born as your child
While you worked until late every day
You raised me up all by yourself
No matter how tired you were, you didn't shed a single tear
You always smiled at me
We quarreled over little things and immediately you jumped out of the house
I couldn't forget your sad face
When I opened the door of the front door, I smelled the usual dinner
You embraced me gently
I'm sorry, I couldn't be honest with you
You said as you went home
Thank you for giving birth to me
I'm happy to be born as your child
I'm happy to be your daughter
Thank you
Third place and second place go to...
AKB48, STU48...
OKADA NANA!
"Goodbye", "thank you" is all I can say
But what's more important than sadness
Is what I want to say to your leaving back
I hope my warmth and pain will make it in time
I thought it would go on like this
So I drew our tomorrow
Even though the light we called out to each other
Is still hot in our hearts
We met in the middle of a burning journey
We held hands and talked about the future
Whenever one of my dreams comes true, I think of you
I wished and cried that I wanted to become stronger
With determination in my eyes
I reached out and held on to a bundle of intense light
It shone and disappeared for the sake of the future
I'm going beyond the promises and happiness entrusted to me
Because I won't look back and move forward
Because I'll only look forward and shout
I'll light a fire in my heart
For the distant future
Hmm... Hmm...
Third place goes to...
AKB48 Oda Erina!
I love you
Just for now, I don't want to hear a sad song
I love you
I ran away and ran away and came to this room
Because it's not a love where anything is allowed
You two are like abandoned cats
This room is like an empty box buried in ruins
That's why you're crying like a kitten
On top of a cramped bed, I'd rather have kindness
If we hug each other's tight bodies
Then you two will close your eyes again
So that sadness doesn't turn into love
Then you two will close your eyes again
So that sadness doesn't turn into love
Third place and fourth place goes to...
SKA48 TAKAYANAGI AKANE.
You weren't smiling because you were strong
You don't even want to see me cry, do you?
It's like stardust, this one encounter
Goodbye, I can't find the last words
That's right, I'm fine because I'm strong
Look me in the eye and say you're sorry
But don't say it, it hurts
It's so precious
It wasn't supposed to be like this
May I miss it?
Even if I'm alone, I'll keep walking
You weren't smiling because you were strong
You don't even want to see me cry, do you?
Remember me, the most beautiful one
Goodbye, I can't find the last words
Even now, my tears won't stop
What I wanted wasn't anything exaggerated
"It's okay for me to be here," those were the only words
Like stardust, you remembered me
"It's okay," the next meeting will be right there
Third group, fifth member is STU-48 Ikeda Yura.
I'm just a shy person with a heavy heart
I didn't decide to walk together
Before I knew it, I'm here
Before I knew it, I'm somewhere else
Like a puddle of water, I turn my hands over
I just passed by to make you turn
It was a wind that stepped somewhere, a crazy windmill
Like a puddle of water, I turn my hands over
But still, in order for you to smile
It was the wind, the windmill
It was love, the windmill
Until you sank, until you sank with me
In a happy dream, you swam beautifully
Now, the third group's singing evaluation is over.
I'd like to ask everyone who finished singing.
First of all, top pattern Asahi-san.
Yes!
Asahi-san, you chose the song "Mother".
Yes.
What made you choose this song?
Yes, well, this year I will be 20 years old,
and this song was originally sung for my mother by my adult daughter,
so I chose it because I thought it would be perfect for my 20th birthday.
Would you like to sing it?
Yes, no, really, as the lyrics say,
it was almost like a real experience,
so I thought it would be nice if I could deliver it to someone with those thoughts.
Yes.
I think it will reach you. It was wonderful. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Next, Okada-san.
Yes!
First, second, and third times.
Yes.
You showed an overwhelming presence.
Thank you very much.
How was it?
No, I'm nervous even after three times.
My hands are shaking all the time and I'm nervous and my head is blank,
but I was able to sing my favorite song, "Home Run", so I'm satisfied. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Next, Oda-san.
Yes.
Oda-san, you chose the song "I Love You", didn't you?
Yes.
What made you sing it?
Even in the qualifying round, I sang Ozaki Utaka- san's song,
and even in the actual show... I also participated last year,
but last year I didn't sing it because I wasn't sure if I should sing "I Love You",
so this year I decided to sing "I Love You" and came here, so I'm glad I was able to sing it. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
And Takaya Nagi-san, what do you feel now after singing on this stage again?
Well, I wasn't supposed to be here, but I was graduating, so I chose this song with the feeling of "I'm here now because of this situation", so I'm glad I was able to sing it. It was fun.
It was wonderful. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
And last but not least, Ikeda-san.
Ikeda-san, you had one goal of singing on this stage, but how did you feel when you actually sang it?
Well, I was really nervous. I was nervous on and off the stage, but I'm glad I was able to enjoy the performance.
It was wonderful. You're still 16 years old, right?
Yes.
16 years old?
Yes, I'm 16 years old.
What a proud and wonderful singing voice you have. Thank you very much.
Then I would like to talk to the judges as well.
Kurosa-san, each of you has your own choice of song, but...
Yes, I think I said during the draw that the team that sang the most delicately would win,
but you all sang very delicately and very carefully, and I was a little moved.
Among them, Okada-san was perfect today.
Thank you very much!
No, I really liked it and sang it myself, but all the points that I had to pay attention to were perfect.
Thank you very much! I'm happy.
And Ikeda-san, you're 16 years old, but you really have perfect breath control and pitch control,
and I wish I could sing like you when I was 16 years old. It was wonderful.
Thank you very much!
It was wonderful, wasn't it? Thank you very much!
Takahashi-san, Takahashi-san, how did you like singing?
Yes, each of you has your own personality, and choosing one song is very difficult for me.
I feel like I want to listen to one more song.
I have the impression that you have chosen each song with great thought.
I think you all did a great job. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Let's talk about the cheering members. Murayama- san, how was it?
This block had the first, second, and third members and many AKB members.
I couldn't stop crying from the first member. I was crying all the time.
I thought about moving on to the finals and moving forward with the third member.
It was painful, but I'm full of ears. Thank you very much!
I'm full of ears. Thank you very much!
Next, Imamura-san!
Yes! You all were wonderful.
I was surprised at how good Okada Nana-san, who is a member of my group, was.
Ikeda Yura-chan is a second-generation researcher and it's only been a year since she joined us.
She's 16 years old and she's wonderful. I want to call her "senior".
Thank you very much!
That was the third group of singer-songwriters. Let's give them a big hand!
Thank you very much, third group!
They all have unique personalities.
The last group of singer-songwriters is coming up.
The last group is the fourth group of singers.
The first singer in the fourth group is SKE48, Furuhata Nao.
Incompetent, heartless, yet beautiful you are.
Why aren't you busy?
I'm sure this is not enough.
If you talk about it, it will work out.
I've already realized that I'm not worth it.
What's wrong with you?
What makes you so dissatisfied?
Don't be so selfish.
What else do you want?
I don't hate that part of you either.
I'm sick of hearing that line.
I don't like it when you're half-hearted.
That's enough.
Even if you say it like this, even if you say you love me,
it's easy if you just play with me.
I'm serious, honest, reckless, and don't even think about it.
How many times do I have to tell you how I feel?
I was looking forward to it anyway.
I can't do it.
But it's okay.
Even if you say it like this, even if you say you love me,
it's easy if you just play with me.
Don't stop raining now.
Lost.
Deleted.
That repetition.
Lost.
Deleted.
That's why...
But even so, I want to say it here.
"That's enough," I say like this.
"I love you," I say like that.
If it's just a promise, it's easy.
I'll seriously negotiate.
I won't even think about it.
I have to turn my feelings and lies into bubbles.
I'm sure you were hoping for it, right?
But, as usual, you're on Facebook.
Even if it's a habit, let it end.
The sky that called for the air, don't clear up.
It's raining again today.
Let's close the grass and get wet and go home.
Fourth place and second place goes to...
AKB48...
Takahashi Sayaka.
Turn the stars in the middle of the world
If you sneeze, a butterfly will dance in some forest
With the door lock you protect
Even if you lick each other's embarrassing stories, lions are strong
I want to survive, I want to survive, I want to live again
We looked at each other with the guidance of the stars
I want to survive, I want to survive, I want to live again
Until I show you my true self, I won't sleep
What were you born for? What are you doing here for?
I want to survive. My wounds won't heal. I was afraid of light.
But now, my life has been taken away from me.
I want to end my wandering and sink into your arms.
Until I show you my true self, I won't sleep.
I want to survive. I still want to live. I love you.
Until I show you my true heart, I won't sleep.
Fourth place, third place goes to...
STU-48, Kojima Aiko.
Every time I wake up in the morning, I feel you lying next to me.
I felt your warmth. Your usual back is cold.
Let's stop looking at each other and open up our minds.
It's too bright in the morning. You and I are chasing each other every day.
The face you showed me that day when you cried.
The sunset illuminates my tears. Your shoulder is warm.
Every time I wish to erase you, my heart and my body drown you.
Your love forever. I close my eyes and picture you. That's all I need.
Even if seasons leave my heart behind.
I'll look for you in my memories, that's all I need.
Because you gave me the strength to overcome what I've lost.
Because you gave me...
Fourth place goes to...
SKA48...
NOJIMA KANO!
THE END
I'm telling you, eyes softly whisper
Tonight, tonight, you are my engine
I love you, just the two of us
Tonight, tonight, we carry on
Wherever you are, I always make you smile
Wherever you are, I'm always by your side
Whatever you say, I promise you forever I know
Wherever you are, I'll never make you cry
Wherever you are
I promise you forever, right now
The day we met was
The first memory for us
We should remember it
And today is
The second memory for us
We should remember it
Someone I love from the bottom of my heart
In the middle of my love
You are always there
Wherever you are
The 3rd AKB48 Group Vocal Power No. 1 Deciding Round,
the 4th group of singer-songwriters has come to an end.
I'd like to ask you all about it.
First of all, this group, Top Butter's Flato-san.
Yes.
You looked so cool. I'm sure the fans felt the same way.
Yes, but there's not much you can do in a live band,
so I wanted to take this opportunity and have fun with the band.
It was fun. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Next, Takahashi-san.
Yes.
I'm sure your goal was to sing in this final stage.
Yes.
How was it?
It was my first time on this stage,
and I don't know if I was able to sing well or not,
but I think I was able to sing with more fun than anyone else,
so it was really fun. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
We've heard that.
Next, Kojima-san.
Yes.
It's your first time on this stage, right?
Yes.
Yes. How was it?
I was nervous and it was only for a moment,
but as the title says, "close your eyes,"
I was able to close my eyes and put in my emotions and sing.
Thank you very much.
Yes, I think we heard you. Thank you very much.
Lastly, Nojima-san.
Yes.
Nojima-san.
Thank you very much.
It's your first time on "Utahime,"
Yes.
but how was it, being on this stage?
It's been a really long time since I've been on this stage,
and I'm really excited right now.
It was really fun!
You looked like you were having a lot of fun!
Thank you very much!
Yes, you sounded like you were singing.
Thank you very much!
And now I'd like the judges to speak. Inoue-san!
Yes, yes, yes.
Defending champion, right?
Yes.
It was very powerful.
Especially your face when you said "tonight".
Thank you.
Also, in the first round, when you were in the preliminary round, you didn't really speak out loud.
And I wanted you to speak out louder for the finals.
And your voice, even if you speak out loud, it doesn't get thick.
I'm very envious of your voice.
Normally, you'd put more effort into a voice that's hard to hear,
but the higher your voice gets, the better your voice gets.
I was able to hear that again today, and I'm very happy about it.
Thank you very much.
Also, Kojima-san.
Yes.
This is Hirai Ken-kun's song, right?
Yes.
He has a great falsetto in the chorus,
and if you set it to that key, it becomes a very loud song.
Yes.
Right?
I thought you sang it well.
Thank you very much.
I'm happy.
You've been together for many years,
and when you're angry, you want him to sing for you.
Yes, I'll speak out loud as I like.
That's great.
Thank you.
Inoue-san is also very excited.
Thank you.
Would you like to take a look?
Yes.
My ears are full too, so I don't know what to do now.
I think you've been working on this for a year now,
and you have those feelings on your back.
I can see it.
Everyone has their own colors and colors.
Especially you, Furuhata-san.
Yes.
From the first time you came in, you've been making up roles all over the world.
Really? I'm happy.
I thought you'd do something.
But you did it.
I did it.
It exploded.
Thank you.
Everyone's feelings exploded.
I feel like I have to choose now.
Which one did you choose?
I feel like it wasn't a normal concert.
I'm nervous.
On the contrary, I'm nervous now.
Thank you.
Everyone's wonderful singing and performance.
Would you like to say something to the members who supported you?
Oba-san, how was it?
My feelings exploded.
I'm moved and excited.
I'm sorry I don't have much vocabulary.
I want to say that our members are amazing.
That's how amazing you two are.
It was cool.
Thank you very much.
That was the fourth group of singer judges.
Everyone, please give them a big hand.
Thank you very much, everyone in the fourth group.
It was an overwhelming performance.
Thank you very much.
Now all the singing tests are over.
Once again, I would like to ask Kurosawa-san.
The singing tests have ended in no time, but how do you feel about it so far?
No, I'm having a lot of fun.
But I'm writing this when I'm judging,
but when I'm writing it, I think, "This is judging."
The level is really high this year.
The level has risen significantly compared to before.
That's for sure.
So it was really in no time.
That's right.
Even so, at this point, there are many people who are passing through as singers.
It was better than I imagined, so I'm really happy now.
Is that so?
Yes.
You can't say that specifically yet, can you?
I can't say that yet.
You can't say that yet, can you?
I can't say that yet.
But it was a wonderful performance, everyone.
Thank you very much.
Now, from each of the four groups, the top two with eight points will advance to the final.
We will now conclude the singing tests.
In the meantime, please take a look at the singing scenes of the 19 members who will appear today in the preliminary round.
Please.
If you call me, I'll run to you, I'll go to you right away
I'll throw everything away and catch my breath
I'll cool my fingers and go see you right away
You left and remained on the platform
I was watching the snow melt as it fell
Now spring has come and you have become beautiful
You have become more beautiful than last year
I want to see you, I want to see you
On nights I can't sleep, I think of your warmth
I think of your warmth and close my eyes
If only I could say "Hello, my friend" with a smile at that time
I would say the same thing
When you kiss me, stay by my side
I wish
I'm glad I met
Your unkindness
La la la la goodbye days
Overcoming the gentle sunsets and the days that draw us closer
We walk towards our lonely dreams
"Goodbye" is not a sad word
It connects each of our dreams and us
Embracing the days we spent together
I'll fly away to the next sky
Even if my wish won't come true
Do you always feel these feelings in 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"
Since then, half a year has passed, and I can finally smile
I'm busy every day
I'm walking my own new life
I want to see you, I want to see you
On sleepless nights, I'm filled with 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 like I was back then
I want to see you now
There are so many things I want to tell you
Hey, I want to see you, I want to see you
When I realize it, I look for your face and I'm sad
You're my phone call at night, aren't you?
I have nothing to say
Making things better, love has disappeared
Don't come running to me again
I love you, I love you, I need you
I want to be loved like I used to
Even if my wish won't come true
Do you always feel this way in your heart?
I love you, I can't put it into words
That's all I can say
But hey, I'm glad we met
I cherished our meeting
To you, who I love, my love forever
Your frozen body gently slips towards me
You kiss me and cling to me
Oh my little girl, I'll warm you up
Oh my little girl, I love you so much
Brake light, five lights, I love you, left and right
No matter how many years pass, I'm sure I can spend them like this with unchanging feelings
Because I'm with you
I remember you so much 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
Without realizing my aching heart, I became alone
In my memories, we can live forever
Your voice still echoes in my heart
It's the shadow of love wandering
I don't know what love is
I put love in a bouquet
It's exaggerated, but please accept it
Don't ask me why, okay?
Just for now, forget everything, don't laugh, accept it, don't be shy
I love you
Oh my little girl
Standing in the twilight, walking side by side
Forever and ever
I can't leave you
I was the one who cried
Not showing my weakness is not a strong excuse
It's because you told me so, I believe
TBS Akasaka Act Theater is broadcasting live.
The third AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Final Tournament.
Here are the eight people who will advance to the final.
Now, the top two of each group and the eight people who will advance to the final, who are they?
These eight people will sing the second song in the final battle after this.
In addition, you can also obtain the right to appear in the finalist live.
I'm getting nervous.
Well, Ms. Ichikawa, first of all, please announce the two people who will advance to the final from the first group.
Now, I will announce them.
The first class winner is...
SKA48 YAMAUCHI SUZURAN!
And 1st place goes to...
STU48 YANO HONO CUP!
Yamauchi-san and Yano-san, congratulations!
Congratulations!
This 1st place goes to Yamauchi-san!
Yes!
1st place goes to you!
I'm so happy!
Well...
This is how it is when you can't say anything.
But even behind the scenes,
when I looked for it on social media,
it said "SUZURAN, you're lying!"
But for the next song I'll sing,
I'll sing with so much emotion that I'll cry!
We're looking forward to it!
Yes, thank you!
Will you cry?
And 1st place goes to...
And 1st place goes to Yano-san!
Yes, I didn't have time to look it up on social media like this...
I was so nervous I couldn't do it...
But I was able to pass with 2nd place,
and with STU48's many emotions,
I'll sing the 2nd song!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Judges, Kurosawa-san, I think it was a very difficult choice for you two to choose from the first group.
Yes, I was worried about the first group because all of them were very good at singing, but I think the stability of the middle range was outstanding for these two.
They can sing the chorus very well.
Because the song is made like that.
However, in terms of persuasion and connecting it to the chorus in terms of A melody or B melody, I feel like they were especially good at it.
Yes, it was wonderful.
That's where the difference was made, isn't it? Congratulations!
Thank you!
And the supporting member, SKE48's Oba-san!
I'm really happy! Me too!
No, really! So from now on, please make your own fun stages!
Thank you!
So, once again, from the first group, Yamauchi-san and Yano-san will advance to the finals! Please give them a big hand!
Thank you!
Now, we will announce the two who will advance to the finals from the second group. Ichika-san, please.
Then we will announce it!
2nd place and 1st place goes to...
NTT48 Vibra Hero!
And the second group, B2 class is...
HKT48, Yuka Akiyoshi!
Congratulations, Yuka Akiyoshi!
Congratulations!
From the second group, Yuka Akiyoshi has been chosen!
First of all, Yuka Akiyoshi...
Yes!
You're in first place!
I'm surprised!
I'm so happy!
You're happy?
I'm so happy!
I'm so surprised that I can't even cry!
I was like, "What?!"
I'm so happy! Thank you!
Congratulations!
Your ability to express yourself has been evaluated!
That's right!
I'm so happy! Really!
Musicals are difficult songs!
Rhythm, long tones, expressions...
They're very difficult!
But I've always loved it!
I used to listen to CDs in the car and practice!
I'm so happy!
I'll do my best to deliver the next song to you as well!
I'm looking forward to it! Thank you!
Thank you!
And the second B2 class is Yuka Akiyoshi!
Yes!
B2 class, but you've advanced to the finals!
I'm relieved!
I really enjoyed singing the first song!
I really wanted to sing the second song!
It's a song I want to convey!
The genre is completely different!
I hope I can convey my feelings through this song!
Thank you!
I'm looking forward to the next song!
Now, Ms. Takahashi, you're in second place!
Where do you think the differences are?
I've been practicing a lot!
First of all, I learned how to sing by hand!
And then, the long tones and sound processing...
When I'm singing...
When I'm not singing...
I think it's great that both of them were singing with all their hearts!
Even if I wasn't chosen...
There were many parts that I really liked and wanted to hear more of!
I'd like you to practice more and let me hear it again!
Thank you!
Now, Ms. Yamada, you're in second place!
Yes!
I'm really happy!
I really love Hino's singing face!
I'm really happy that I can see it again!
Thank you!
I love you, judges!
Thank you!
As a member of the cheering team, I'm also very happy!
Ms. Akiusu will advance to the finals!
Everyone, please give her a big hand!
Congratulations!
Next, we will announce the two who will advance to the finals from the third group.
Ichikawa-san, please.
Well then, I will announce it.
The first place winner is...
S.T.U.48...
YURA IKEDA!
And in 3rd place and 2nd place is...
A.K.A.B.48... S.T.U.48...
OKADA NANA!
Ikeda-san, Okada-san, congratulations!
Congratulations!
You're in 1st place and 2nd place, Ikeda-san!
You're shedding tears. How do you feel right now?
Thank you!
I'm really happy. I'll do my best for the next song as well. Thank you!
I'm looking forward to it!
I'm shedding tears!
And in 2nd place is Okada Nana-san!
I'm really happy as well, but I'm really happy that Ikeda Yura-chan found me here and advanced to the finals and sang another song.
As a senior of ESCUE, I'm really happy that I've grown up as a parent. It was really wonderful!
Thank you!
I'll also be honest for the third time and do my best for the finals! Thank you!
We're looking forward to your song! Thank you! Congratulations!
Judges, Inoue-san, are these two in 3rd place?
No, I didn't want you to ask me about this group.
No, we'll ask you, Inoue-san!
Oda Eri and Asai-chan are my friends, so I wanted you all to pass.
But as usual, I kept talking about other people.
I'm really happy about this song. Thank you!
And I don't know where Ikeda-san has been hiding.
Are you really a research student?
Yes, I'm a research student.
I don't know. I hope you'll be regular from tomorrow.
I can't do anything about it with my own strength, but I'm really happy about this group.
I'm glad that I could feel your feelings.
Thank you!
What a wonderful performance!
So, Ikeda-san and Okada-san will advance to the finals in 3rd place.
Please give them a big hand!
Finally, we will announce the finalists who will advance to the finals in 4th place.
Ichikawa-san, please.
I will now announce the finalists.
In 4th place,
SKE48
Kano Nojima.
And the fourth place winner is...
SKE48 Furuhata Nao!
Congratulations, Nojima and Furuhata!
The fourth place winner is SKE48's Kano Nojima.
- Nojima! - Yes?
- The second place winner. - Yes.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
How can I say it?
It's amazing.
I can sing two songs and go to the finalist live.
I'm really happy to be on this stage now.
Thank you very much.
Congratulations.
You've made it to the final once again.
And the second place winner is Furuhata.
It's...
It's so unique.
I thought it was amazing.
I'm relieved now that I felt it.
How do you feel now?
In the final, I'll sing a song I really want to tell you.
I hope it reaches you beautifully.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Let's hear from the judges.
Hurry up!
The fourth place winner is...
Well...
I don't know why I'm last among all these seniors.
I've been watching 134 of you, and I'm about to cry.
I'm sure you've been fighting for this day with strong feelings for each of your songs.
Eight of you were chosen.
I don't think it really matters who you are.
As a judge, I chose you.
However, I think you all love singing.
I hope you'll keep singing until you die.
You can keep singing until you die.
Take care of your throat and do your best.
And there's another song for eight of you.
I'm sure you'll change your worldview and sing it again.
I'm looking forward to it, so good luck.
Thank you very much.
So, from the fourth group, Nozuma and Furuta will advance to the final.
Please give them a big hand.
Again, eight of you will advance to the final of the final round of the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Final.

Is that okay?
Yes!
Please!
The singer order is...
Number three!
Ms. Yamauchi will be the third singer to be judged.
The third.
Ms. Yano, who advanced to the second place in the first song.
Please stand in front of the card.
Please.
She's hesitating.
Which number will she choose?
Number four!

Okay, I'll go with the one in the back of my right hand!
Okay!

It's number five!
Akiyoshi chose number five!
Thank you!
The winner is number five!
Next up is Ikeda, who was number one in the third group!
Okay!
Ikeda, please stand in front of the card!
How many cards will Ikeda choose?
She chose one of the remaining four cards!
It's number eight!
Ikeda! It's number eight!
What should I do?
What should you do?
I'll do my best!
She'll do her best!
I'm looking forward to it!
Ikeda chose number eight!
Next up is Okada, who was number two in the third group!
Okay!
Okada chose three cards!
What did Okada choose?
She looks frustrated!
It's number one!
She was number one!
No!
You look the most nervous!
How do you feel, Okada-san?
Last time, I was number one, too.
So I'm very nervous, but I'll do my best because I think I'm number one!
I'm looking forward to it!
Okada-san is the best singer.
Next, Nojima-san, who passed first in the fourth group.
You have two cards left.
Please put them in front of you.
Which one will you draw?
What should I do?
It's number six!
Nojima-san is number six!
And lastly, Furuhata-san, who passed in the fourth group.
You have one card left.
Lucky seven?
Lucky seven! It's number seven!
Furuhata-san drew number seven!
So, in the order of the above,
we will hold the final round of the third AKB48 Group Singers' No. 1 Finals!
Now, I'd like to ask the members of the audience to go back for a moment.
Once again, there are eight people who have decided to advance to the finals!
And, unfortunately, there are eleven people who have lost,
but I'd like to ask all eleven of you, who have shown us your amazing singing abilities, to give yourselves a big round of applause!
You all were wonderful. Thank you very much.
Please return to your seats.
It was also difficult for the judges to judge, but I'm looking forward to seeing who will win the crown.
Now, it's finally the final.
Who will win the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round's third singer's crown?
The final round of the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round is coming up!

AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round is coming up!
The final singer's crown.
The first singer is...
the third group,
AKB48,
STU48,
OKADA7!
Okada-san, you are a top batter once again. How do you feel when you sing this song?
Yes, I chose this song by myself.
It's a song that I've been thinking about for a long time and finally came up with it.
I want to sing this song thinking of that one person.
I want you to listen to the song and think of that one person.
I see. I'm looking forward to it.
Okada-san, will you sing for us?
The song is "Ai ne kurai ne".
Like everything else, it's all sad.
I'm so happy I want to say it now.
Someday we'll say goodbye and grow up and walk.
Even if I steal someone's place and live on,
Even if I'm stone-age, I hope I can get used to it.
I'm confused and confused.
Even you don't know it like that.
I want you to know all my feelings.
There's a secret I can't tell anyone and I end up lying.
Even though I don't love you more than you think I do.
Why? Why? Why?
If I'm with you, my sadness and pride won't go away.
I'd be happy if you could say "I'm glad you're happy" and smile.
Everything in front of me fades and melts away.
Miracles overflow and it's not enough.
You called my name.
Miracles overflow and it's not enough.
From the moment I was born,
I cried out that I wanted to disappear.
Since then, I've been searching for you,
for you who I'll meet someday.
Even the sadness that won't disappear, even my despair,
if I was with you, I'd be so glad.
I'm so happy when you laugh at me like that.
Everything in front of me is blurring and melting away.
Miracles overflow and it's not enough.
You called my name.
Can I call your name?
- Thank you for your applause. - Thank you very much!
It was wonderful.
How did you feel when you heard Okada's singing voice?
This song has a wide range and the pitch goes up and down all of a sudden. It's a very difficult song, but I was impressed that you expressed it very well.
Especially the bass, which is a little tough for a woman to play, but I think you handled it well and delivered it as a word.
Thank you very much.
Last year, I felt like I wanted to do something like a little more singing up, but I was impressed that you were able to sing it well and in balance this year.
Thank you very much.
What do you think now that you've heard Murayama's singing voice?
No, I'm so impressed that I can't speak well and I want to tell you that you're already a winner. Thank you for working hard as a representative of AKB.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
That's how much of a performance it was.
So that's it for Okada's singing evaluation.
Thank you very much.
Please give her a big hand.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
Let's move on to the second singer evaluation.
The second final singer evaluation is...
Second group, first place pass, ltt48, Hiro Mimura!
Mimura-san, before you sing, please tell us how you feel about the song you're going to sing next.
Yes! The song I'm going to sing next is...
Actually, since last year, I've been thinking about singing this song the next time we meet.
It's a song that made me feel like that.
Yes.
Well, I thought fate was amazing.
That's right.
Yes.
You can feel fate.
Um... really... um...
I thought it was amazing.
Yes.
I'm looking forward to your singing voice.
Yes! I'll do my best! I'll do my best!
Well then, Mimura-san, please sing for us!
The song is "Cruel Angel's Thesis."
Like a cruel angel, young boy, become a myth.
But you're just staring at me and smiling.
You're so focused on touching me and asking for me,
that you don't even know what fate is yet.
But one day you'll realize that you have wings to aim for the distant future behind you.
A cruel angel's theory will eventually fly out of the window.
If you betray your memories with a hot pathos running around,
hold up this sky and shine, young boy, become a myth.
While weaving love, people make history.
I won't become a goddess, I will live.
A cruel angel's theory will eventually fly out of the window.
If you betray your memories with a hot pathos running around,
hold up this sky and shine, young boy, become a myth.
Kimura-san, thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Yumura-san, I didn't expect you to sing this song in front of Takahashi-san on this stage!
I thought it was rude of me to sing this song in front of Takahashi-san.
But when Takahashi-san told me that he was a judge, I was like "What? What? What?"
Then I talked with the manager and he said "Why don't you sing this song?"
So I sang this song in front of Takahashi-san. Thank you very much!
It was wonderful!
I have to ask Takahashi-san about this song.
Takahashi-san, how was it?
It was wonderful!
Thank you very much!
I'm sure Takahashi-san was very nervous in front of you!
I've been singing this song for 25 years, but I've never thought it was perfect.
As you can see from my singing, I was out of breath, my voice was very high-pitched, and I was very nervous at first.
And at the end of the song, only the singer knows how the song ends.
I was very encouraged to choose this very difficult song first.
And I think you all thought it was amazing when you heard it.
So I listened to it with a mother's heart, not as a judge, and it became such a comment.
But it was really conveyed, so I was happy and I think I felt like I could sing.
Thank you.
I'm happy.
Thank you.
That's all for Ms. Fumura's singing assessment.
Once again, please give her a big hand.
Thank you.
Thank you, Ms. Fumura.
Thank you.
Thank you for your hard work.
I could hear her singing voice.
Now, let's move on to the third singer assessment.
The third final singer assessment is...
First group, first place passers-by...
SKE48...
SUZURAN YAMAUCHI.
Thank you for your support.
Yamauchi-san.
Yes.
How do you feel now?
I really want to go to the bathroom.
When people get nervous, they are like this.
It was a live broadcast, wasn't it? I'm sorry.
And I haven't worn heels for such a long time, so I'm on my knees.
You're on your knees. Are you nervous?
Anyway, I'm nervous.
But what kind of feelings do you have for the next song?
That's right. There are so many things in 2020.
There are a lot of things I've been worried about and really discouraged about.
But at that time, there were people who pushed me on social media and my back.
I thought the wind was blowing, so I chose this song.
Oh, isn't that the song from earlier?
Oh, I'm too excited. Let's go!
All right. Then we'll have Mr. Yamauchi sing.
The song is "sansara".
I'm alive, I'm alive.
Only that reality is here.
Living is a sansara.
Time flows by and surpasses people.
A dream someone saw a long time ago.
It dwells in us and heads for tomorrow.
A wandering day and night story.
Connecting lives.
Standing by the fire burning in the morning light,
Listening carefully,
I'm alive, I'm alive.
Only that reality is here.
Living is a sansara.
I'm alive, I'm alive
Only that reflection is here
Living is unfair
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much, Yonamichi-san!
Yonamichi-san, you didn't look like you were nervous at all.
My legs are shaking.
I think your feelings have been conveyed.
This year, I was really worried about a lot of things, and when I thought about how hard it is to live, I listened to this song and thought, "Everyone, let's work hard and live!"
That's what I wanted to hear!
Thank you very much! Your feelings have been conveyed!
The judge, Inoue-san, you had a powerful voice.
I really wanted to live.
Maybe at night, I was like, "What should I do?" and then I thought of singing this song.
My feelings have been conveyed.
I hope next year will be a good year.
Let's do that!
Thank you very much!
That's all for Yonamichi-san's singing evaluation.
Everyone, please give her a big hand!
Thank you very much!
That was a wonderful singing!
Thank you very much!
You were powerful!
Now, we will move on to the fourth singer evaluation.
The fourth singer evaluation is...
First group, "e-tsuka"
stu-48
Yano Honoka
Yano-san, for the next song, what kind of feelings do you have when you sing it?
What kind of feelings...
The song I'm going to sing next is...
I chose it because I thought the lyrics and the title were songs that were made for me.
But all of my feelings for life and singing are in this song.
So I'm going to put my own feelings into the song and sing it with pleasure and joy.
I'm looking forward to it.
Well then, let's have Yano-san sing it.
The song is "My Revolution".
The night I was sleeping and rubbing against each other will end with yesterday.
I want to make sure of the reason I met you in the darkness.
I want to make a sound of my shoes and my sleeping world.
I'm riding my bike and my wall of music is looking up at me.
I'm sure I can heal my own sadness.
I'm starting to understand my revolution.
I want to see tomorrow.
I want to tell someone about my dream.
My first, my dance.
If you're chasing your dream right now, you shouldn't cry so easily.
You taught me.
My first, my dance.
I can start running.
The lovers I miss only believe in dreams.
If you're chasing your dream right now, you should start running.
But when you wave goodbye, you'll surely come back.
I don't want to lose the strength I feel when I'm alone in the city.
I want to see my revolution.
I want to change tomorrow.
I want to tell someone.
My first, my dance.
If you're chasing your dream right now,
you shouldn't cry so easily.
You taught me.
My first, my dance.
I can run.
My first, my dance.
Miyano-san, thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Did you have fun singing?
Yes, I think it was my revolution.
My revolution.
It was wonderful. Please give her a big hand.
Thank you very much!
Judge Isogai-san, how was it?
I was able to hear a powerful singing voice.
Since it's 2020 and we've been through a lot,
listening to this song made me feel like we can work hard together next year as well.
I'm sorry, I'll say one more thing.
I think you have a lot of originality.
Even if you sing a lot of songs,
I think it's amazing that you always have your own style of singing.
I thought so when I listened to this song.
Thank you very much!
She said she had her own style of singing.
That's all for Miyano-san's singing assessment.
Everyone, please give her a big hand.
Thank you very much!
Miyano-san, thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for your hard work!
Your voice was shining.
Now, we'll move on to the fifth singer's assessment.
The fifth singer to receive the final singer assessment is...
Second group, B2-ka,
HKT48, Yuka Akiyoshi!
Thank you for your support!
This is the second half of the final singing competition, Akiyoshi.
Of course you were looking forward to singing on this stage, but how do you feel when you sing?
I always get a lot of power from the people who support me, so I hope I can give back the love and power I've received so far with my song today.
Please sing for Akiyoshi.
The song is "Shape of Love".
Hey, before I knew it, I realized
That love does have a shape
And if it had already settled in my heart
I'm sure that from now on
Every time I know about you
If that shape is no longer you
I'm sure it will create a gap
Hey, I love you
You know, I love you
I'll tell you tens of thousands of times
My warm and increased feelings
Are all in the form of love
I've always, always loved you
Even if you spread out in my heart
My tears overflow
Even if you spread out in my heart
You're the only one in my heart
You know, you know, I've always loved you
I love you
Ah, thank you
Thank you, Akioshi-san.
Thank you.
You put your feelings into it.
Yes, I hope my own form of love can be conveyed.
I would like to hear from the judges.
Kurosa-san, there was also a correction. How was it?
Yes, last year in the finals, I told Akioshi-san, "Please sing the A melody a little more carefully."
You said in the chorus, "I already know that your voice is very good,"
but this year you really connected the story beautifully from the beginning of the A melody to the chorus.
Thank you.
And I think you sang the best song in this final take.
I was impressed.
Thank you.
I think it was wonderful.
In the end, it resonated with me, including the part where I heard it all at once.
Yes, it was good.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
And, Sakaguchi-san, how was it?
Ah, well, I'm the same age and six years apart,
so since I joined, I've been working while looking at things like a little sister and now like a child.
But again, it was a song that showed Yuka-chan's strength and delicacy,
so I think I was born with it.
I was really impressed.
Thank you for doing your best as a representative of HKT.
It was wonderful.
Thank you very much.
That's all for Akioshi-san's singing assessment.
Everyone, please give him a big hand.
Thank you very much.
Akioshi-san, thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work.
Now, for the sixth singer assessment.
The sixth final singer assessment is Nojima Kano of SKE48, first place in the fourth group.
Now, Nojima-san, you looked like you were having fun singing earlier.
How will you sing the next song?
The next song is a song that my mother cherishes very much.
Ever since I was little, I knew that my mother liked it and chose this song.
It was the same for the first song, but my mother kept asking me to listen and give me a lot of advice.
It's a song with strong memories, so I'd like you to sing it with all your heart.
I understand.
Now, Nojima-san will sing it for us.
The song is "Life Song".
Thank you for watching.
The meaning of life
Everytime I ask
The warmth of people
In every corner of the world
The miracle of meeting you
Is more precious than
Any other jewel
There are days when you want to cry
Over precious jewels
There are days when you mourn despair
At such times, stay by my side
Your shadow is by my side
If we sing together
It brings back memories
Of our hometown's sunset
And that gentle warmth
What's really important
Can't be hidden or seen
In the passing days
There is an irreplaceable joy
What you were born for
What you raised for
What you met for
What you laughed for
Thank you for all of it
Thank you for this life
Nojima-san, thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
How do you feel now, singing this song, which you yourself treasure so much?
Wow, I don't know...
I think I've been practicing a lot, so I was able to sing with all my heart.
I'm happy that it has reached even the people in the back row.
Thank you very much!
Ms. Takahashi, what do you think of this expressive power?
It's wonderful!
And I think this kind of song is especially difficult.
Each sound, position of breath, high tone...
I think it was wonderful that all of this was given to me.
Thank you very much!
And the supporting member, Ms. Oba-san!
I was so moved.
Ever since I won the song, I've changed so much.
I've become so sparkly.
I've always seen you at work and at work.
Every time I hear you sing, I feel like I'm getting better and better at singing.
I'm glad that I was able to show my efforts here today.
Thank you very much!
And that's it for Nojima-san's singing assessment.
Please give her a big hand!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for your hard work!
It was a wonderful singing voice.
Now, let's move on to the seventh singer review.
The final singer review.
The seventh singer is...
The fourth group "WE TWO KA"
SKE48
Furuhata Nao!
Now, Furuhata-san.
Yes.
How do you feel when you sing the next song?
Originally, I didn't appear in "WE TWO KA" and "WE TWO KA"
but now that I appear for the first time,
I think it's a good time for me to sing.
So, I want my fans to look forward to it.
Ah!
What was the question again?
I'm sorry!
How do you feel when you sing this song?
How do I feel when I sing this song?
Yes.
I think it's really hard at this time of year.
So, I hope I can convey my kindness to my fans and listeners.
I hope I can convey my kindness to my fans and listeners.
I understand. I'm looking forward to it.
Now, Furuhata-san, please sing for us.
The song is "TO YOU".
The water of the pond, like a mirror, imitates the blue color of the sky.
The water bird living in the park gives life to it.
Light and shadow, front and back, without contradiction, they are close together.
If we could be like this...
I don't know the real meaning of love, but...
Why do feelings connect with one another?
That's all I can say to you, who are far away.
Sad yesterday will someday turn into a smile
beyond the tears.
I can love people as much as I want,
so you don't have to try so hard.
I can love you now as much as I want,
so you don't have to rush.
Thank you very much, Ms. Furuato.
Were you able to convey your feelings to the fans?
Yes, I think I did.
It was wonderful. Thank you very much.
Ms. Inoue, what did you think of it?
She was so angry until just now.
I'm not angry.
Oh, you're not angry.
I'm not angry.
She's in a good mood now.
Did you write this song yourself?
No, I didn't.
You sang your own song in some parts of the concert.
It was wonderful.
I heard you forgot to rate it.
Is it okay if I don't rate it?
Please rate it.
It was wonderful.
She said she made it her own.
Thank you very much.
That's all for Ms. Furuato's singing evaluation.
Everyone, please give her a big hand.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work.
I think the song resonated with the fans, too.
It was so quick.
The final singing evaluation.
This is the last one.
Let's move on to the last singing evaluation.
The eighth person in the final singing evaluation is...
Third place, first place...
STU48, YUNA IKENA!
Thank you very much.
Ikeda-san, this time has finally come.
Yes.
How do you feel?
First of all, I was worried about being chosen at the time of the finals, and then I was called my name and I was very surprised.
From there, I didn't think it would be the last one, so I was surprised and surprised, but I hope I can sing happily at the end.
Yes, I think everyone is looking forward to your singing voice.
Yes.
Then Ikeda-san will sing.
The song is "Ihoujin".
Children face the sky
Spreading both hands, birds and clouds
Even dreams, they try to grasp
That figure is me, who didn't know anything until yesterday
I believed you could reach me with these fingers
Beyond where the sky and earth touch
A road that calls travelers from the past
For you, I'm just a passerby
I turned around for a moment and saw a stranger
For some reason, time travel fills my heart with wounds
It's a mysterious road
A letter that only says goodbye
I keep getting lost while writing
After that...
I keep getting lost while writing After that...
Thank you very much!
Ikeda-san, thank you very much!
Ikeda-san...
Yes?
Can I ask you one thing?
Yes!
You are really 16 years old, aren't you?
Yes, I am 16 years old.
With this song and this expression...
I was surprised at how you sang it.
Did you have fun singing it?
Yes, it was really fun!
Thank you very much!
It was wonderful!
Judge Isogai-san...
Please judge.
It's strange for someone your age to sing your oldest song.
Your youth and your mature atmosphere...
I thought it was a performance with an exquisite balance.
Thank you very much!
You still have a lot of future ahead of you.
Please do your best!
Thank you very much!
It was a wonderful song!
Thank you very much!
Supporting member Imamura-san...
Yes?
How was it?
It was amazing!
I couldn't stop smiling from the beginning!
I was filled with gratitude for joining STU48!
Ikeda-chan was the best!
Thank you very much!
This concludes Ikeda-san's singing assessment.
Once again, please give her a round of applause!
Thank you for your hard work, Takuta-san.
Thank you!
And with that, all of the singing tests have ended.
Kurosawa-san, even though it went by so quickly, would you like to hear what you think?
Yes. I've never thought it'd be this hard to get this many points.
Is that so?
We don't get any points at all, even when we're judging ourselves.
I think that's how high level we were this year.
That means that the listeners were very happy.
And you, the singers, were also happy.
I'm honestly glad I was able to participate in this.
Can I say that there wasn't much of a difference?
There wasn't at all, right?
I thought it was hard to tell, and I also noticed a difference,
but I'm not surprised that others were doing something completely different.
Takahashi-san, I'd like to ask you too, but with that, all of the singing tests have ended.
What did you think of them?
I was able to see such a great stage, and I learned a lot!
Including all of you who aren't here right now, I think it was a really wonderful song.
I know you're all nervous right now, but I think you've given it your all,
and I hope you'll wait patiently for the results of the judging.
Thank you very much.
I'm sure you were all able to enjoy yourselves and be moved.
After this, the winner of the singing test will be decided!
The 3rd AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Finals Results Announcement!
Now, AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round, the 3rd singing test will be decided!
Here, the final singing test will announce the top 3 with high scores and the 11 who unfortunately could not make it to the finalists.
Judges, thank you for coming all the way here.
Thank you very much.
Once again, Kurosawa-san, there was talk of your level increasing in this competition, but wasn't it difficult to judge?
That's right. As I said earlier with the judges, there are many people who couldn't make it to the finalists and had the same score as me.
So I really didn't know what to do if there were so many people who were in the same position as me.
I think it was such a high-level competition.
I think so.
Thank you very much.
Now, before we announce the top 3, let's first announce the Special Award for Judges.
On behalf of the judges, Kurosawa-san, please.
I will now announce it.
The 3rd AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Special Award for Judges goes to NMB48's Yamazaki Amir- san.
Yamazaki-san, congratulations!
Congratulations!
I can see a smile on your face!
Yamasaki Amiru-san, you won first place in the finalist live!
I'm so happy! Thank you!
Congratulations!
Of course you must have been frustrated, but how do you feel now that you've won the special judge award?
I really love the finalist live, so I couldn't win first place,
but I'm really happy that I can be involved in singing like this. Thank you!
Congratulations! You've been working hard for this year!
Kurosawa-san, please tell us why you chose her.
To be honest, her low and middle tones are still unstable.
But she still has an overwhelming presence in high tones.
I chose her because I want to see her future as a talent, including unfinished parts.
Including future expectations, right?
Yes, including expectations.
Thank you!
So I hope you'll work harder!
Yes, I'm looking forward to it!
And...Maida-san!
Yamasaki-san, you've been chosen!
I'm as happy as I am right now!
I really love Amiru's singing voice, so I'm really happy that I can hear it again in the finalist live!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
So, the 3rd AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Finalist Award goes to...
Yamasaki Amiru-san!
Congratulations!
Everyone, please give her a big hand!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
I'm looking forward to the finalist live!
Now, let me announce the top three finalists for the singer evaluation.
First of all, the third place announcement. Ichikawa-san, please.
I will announce it.
The third place is...
AKB48, STU48...
Okada Nana!
Okada-san, congratulations!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Okada-san, as a result of being in third place, how do you feel?
Yes, I'm happy.
Last time I was in fifth place and I felt very frustrated.
Of course, my goal was first place, but I'm happy to be in third place.
I think you wanted to show your back to the members, but couldn't you show your presence and performance?
Yes, I've been on stage three times in a row and a lot of STU juniors have come in like this.
I was also happy to be able to see everyone's hard work up close, not just in 10th place.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Judge Takahashi-san, how do you feel about Okada- san's singing?
I think it's really wonderful.
And it's like a star.
Stable, secure, effective and really relaxing.
Thank you!
It was wonderful.
Congratulations!
Then I would like to ask Murayama-san, who is the supporting member. Okada-san, you were in third place.
Congratulations! Thank you!
I already knew what I liked about singing regardless of ranking, so I'm glad I could see you singing and having fun, and I think the fans also had a very happy time. Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you very much!
And I would like to talk to Imamura-san, who is in second place.
Okada-san said a lot of things about STU in the talk scene, and I was very happy to have a senior who showed me the back of STU48.
It was very cool! Thank you!
Thank you!
So, the third AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Final was Okada Nana-san. Everyone, please give her a round of applause!
Thank you!
I hope you were able to feel her performance.
Now, let's move on to the second announcement. Ichikawa-san, please.

In second place...
SKE48...
Nojima Kano!
Thank you!
Nojima-san, congratulations!
Thank you!
Nojima-san, you are in second place.
Yes.
It's very complicated...
I'm happy! But I'm also frustrated!
Are you frustrated?
I didn't want to be first place...
You won first place and didn't participate in the last tournament.
And you challenged this tournament with strong feelings.
But I think everyone gave you a great rating of second place.
Yes. But I have no regrets.
No regrets.
It was a very fun and happy time. Thank you very much.
It was a wonderful performance. Thank you for your hard work.
I think the judges have already approved of Inoue and Nojima's singing skills.
Yes, yes.
They've already been champions once.
And when you win first place once, everyone's eyes are strict, right?
But we're in the same place, right? We're in the same place.
Some people are in second place because they've been working hard.
Some people are in second place because of their strict eyes.
I think second place is a great result.
I think it's amazing that you've worked so hard for it.
Thank you very much.
Now I'd like to hear from the cheering members.
But it's really amazing. First of all, congratulations.
Thank you very much.
But if you say you're frustrated,
I'm sure you'll be fired up again tomorrow.
I can't wait to see you take new steps again.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much.
I think we'll be able to connect again next time.

Congratulations!
Thank you!
Please give him a big hand!
Kurosawa-san, Agita-san's singing was wonderful, wasn't it?
No, it's really like this if you don't like it.
Especially from the first song to the second song, it got better again.
No, you can't not give this person high scores.
I also gave it the best score, but after all, the judges and everyone were like that.
It was wonderful.
Thank you very much.
Please keep singing forever.
The more you sing, the better you get.
Seniors are getting better like that, so please keep singing forever.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
So, the third time, akb48 group singing power No. 1 finalist is...

Kurosawa-san, thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Wonderful.
There was a wonderful chorus.
Everyone, it was an overwhelming performance.
Well, it's about time for us to say goodbye.
Lastly, everyone who participated in today's final competition will perform their songs.
All members, please stand by.
I think it was a really difficult screening, but among them, Ikeda Yura was still shining.
I'm 16 years old, and I'm looking forward to my future growth.
I'm looking forward to it.
16 years old.
Actually, I had an expectation of what kind of singing voice I would show at the lottery, but Ikeda Yura made it wonderful.
The last song I'd like you to sing is AKB48's song.
The song will start with Ikeda Yura's solo performance, so please tell me as much as you like.
It looks like we're ready.
Please listen.
"God Airplane" on 365 days.
Looking up at the morning sky, I softly wished for today to be filled with smiles.
Sometimes it rains and my tears overflow, but I'll do my best tomorrow on a day that doesn't go as planned.
The dream I've always had is for me to be alone again.
The dream I can freely do whatever I want to do.
Life is a paper airplane. I'll fly with my wishes on board.
As much as I can in the wind, I'll just keep moving forward.
Where did I get that distance from? Where did I get it from?
That's what's most important. Now, my heart's name is 365 days.
A paper airplane, carrying my wishes, I'll fly away.
In the wind, with all my strength, I'll just keep moving forward.
Rather than competing for that distance, where I'll fly and where I'll fly to,
that's what's most important. Now, my heart's name is 365 days.
I'll fly away, I'll fly away.
Everyone, thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
