AISubs v3.5
The third Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round, which was the biggest fierce battle in the past.
Behind the scenes, there was a drama that could not be counted by the girls who had bet everything on this competition.
I always feel like I'm being attacked by this evil monster of the act theater.
And then, three weeks after the final battle...
Good morning.
Yura Ikeda, who was shining with confidence, told us everything.
Out of the eight of us, I was more nervous about that than the ranking announcement.
AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Behind the Scenes Documentary
December.
Akasaka Act Theater, a singing power that gave birth to many dramas.
Good morning.
Distance between you and me, please.
Distance between you and me.
Front temperature normal.
Normal.
This is my third time.
No matter how many times I come, I'm nervous.
To be honest, I want to win for the third time.
Good morning.
I feel good.
I've been up all morning.
My eyes are wide open.
I couldn't sleep.
Not at all?
No, I slept.
I always have an appetite and want to eat ramen or something, but I couldn't even eat yogurt.
How do you feel about singing for the first time in a while?
It's been a while since I've been on stage.
I'm excited.
I'm looking forward to it and I can't help it.
This competition, which was held due to COVID-19, has been realized by providing thorough infection prevention measures and crowd control restrictions.
Live performance by a full band.
Singing is a one-shot match.
Because of its effect on girls' lives, band members also feel a unique sense of tension.
The level is getting higher and higher every time, so I think it will be the third time that I will perform in front of the audience.
Even though it's the third time, I'm still nervous.
I want to deliver it properly and I want everyone to have the best performance.
I think it's a little different from a normal live performance.
This is the first time for them to meet in person with the band's pre-given sound source and individual practice.
Wow, live band, live performance.
How do you actually feel about it?
What should I do? Won't I fall down?
What do you think of live band and your band?
But it's different from how I usually sing.
The bass and other sounds resonate very directly.
I feel like I'm being taken away.
It was difficult for me to listen to my own song.
I'm out on my knees every year.
I made a mistake last year, too.
I'm good at making faces like I didn't make a mistake, but I made a lot of mistakes.
Many live events were canceled in 2020.
This final tournament has become a precious opportunity for fans and members to share the same space.
I'm nervous! I'm nervous! I can't stand being alone!
I'm nervous! My legs are shaking! My legs are shaking!
I'm grateful for this event.
I didn't have much time to sing.
But they prepared such a big stage for me.
I thought I had no choice but to enter.
A sunny stage that took a life.
The members also prepared their own costumes.
- I bought it at ZOZOTOWN. - I bought it at ZOZOTOWN.
- This is cute, too. - What's the theme?
What's the theme?
- It's like loli... loli... loli... loli gothic. - What?
- It's like loli gothic. - It's got a lot of things in it.
- What's "loli gothic"? - What do you mean?
- There's something like that. - Is it "gothic"?
- Can we use "loli gothic"? - It's "gothic".
It's "gothic".
The finalist of the first tournament, Honoka Yano.
She stands on this stage with special feelings.
Last time, I came here with a lot of feelings that I didn't have here.
The second final tournament.
Among the members who broke through the preliminaries, Yano wasn't the only one.
Actually, the day before the tournament...
Due to a fall, she had difficulty singing due to a nose injury, and her blood vessel was removed.
The singer's number one spot is really a big deal in my life, but I thought it was a good chance to say it, so I didn't say it much, but I was really frustrated.
In the qualifying round of this tournament, which challenged frustration in her heart, she passed the third place of her best.
She came back to this stage again.
Today, I want you to tell me that you did a good job by leaving a good result or a victory.
Such Yano-san's qualifying round was also held by Yura Ikeda-san, who participated for the first time.
He is the youngest 16-year-old researcher of this tournament.
There are a lot of red chairs.
Yano Ikeda-san, who participated for the first time.
I've been wanting to participate in this tournament for a long time, and I also want to sing in the finalist live.
This time, I will do my best to aim for the best 8.
The finalists were the best in all of the groups.
The spiritual position of STU continues.
Nana Okada, who was the first captain.
I want to get the first place I want to get a solo song.
I want STU members to go to the finalist live as many as possible and sing together.
I also want to go to the finalist live, so I will aim for the best 8.
At the rehearsal on the day of the competition, she heard her rivals singing for the first time.
She passed the first round.
Yuka Akiyoshi of HKT.
I have a strong desire to win this year.
I've been in the competition three times, so I hope I can win this year.
There are people who have supported her efforts to aim for the top nearby.
HKT has been raising groups and doing voice training for six months for this day.
There, the trainer was surprised by the members' consciousness.
I'm very motivated.
Each of us has a strong desire to make our fans happy.
I'm moved by what you're telling me.
On the other hand, AKB's Rissen Airi has been doing voice training individually.
There, she has a strong determination to be the first finalist.
In the first tournament, despite being in second place in the qualifiers, she couldn't show her skills due to health problems.
I really liked it. It was fun.
It was amazing. I didn't do any lessons or anything like that.
In the second tournament, due to the schedule of the stage, she couldn't be satisfied and ended up with incomplete performance.
I just want to be a finalist.
When I was called for the first time, I didn't want to feel like I wasn't called.
It was a little traumatic for me.
I just want to be called for the first time.
Over the past month, she has been training hard while keeping up with her studies.
However, she can't hide her impatience due to the anxiety of her training fee.
If you say you can't do it anymore, I'll send you to prison.
I don't think you can do it.
I'm sure you can do it.
That's because you don't buy your own future where someone else thinks you do.
I'm sure you'll regret it more if you can't show your skills because you don't want to be thought like that.
I'm the one who's making all of this flow.
So it's your own power.
We're just riding it.
Feel that you're showing off your amazing power.
Yes.
Let's believe in ourselves.
Yes.
There is one more contestant who is eager for revenge.
Last time, while being nominated for first place, she couldn't get a step closer to second place.
Ms. Yamasaki Amir.
Thank you.
I'm so happy.
This time for sure...
I feel like I'm aiming for first place this year.
Since that day, for a year, in order to overcome her weaknesses, she improved her singing skills in individual lessons.
And once again, on the stage of humiliation...
My previous reflection points were...
The impact of "a" melody and "b" melody...
And...
If I had put more emotion into my singing...
I think I would have been able to do better.
I think I was able to do it.
Yes.
With each of their feelings coming together...
They prepare for the final performance.
They want to change their lives with their singing...
And show their fans a new scenery.
On the other hand, the members who support them...
Are eagerly waiting for the moment when they can open the door of their future.
It is because of this era...
That they cherish this space that connects their hearts.
I don't have a chance to shake hands with you anymore...
And I don't have a chance to see you anymore...
So I'm really grateful for this opportunity to listen to you sing for me.
With the opening of the festival approaching, support groups from each group rushed in.
I'm proud of being able to come here as a motive for supporting Amir-chan. I hope I can support her as much as I can.
You were second last time, but how far have you come this time, Amir-san?
No, I'm first, right? I was definitely first.
I'm really nervous myself. There are a lot of STU members, so I'm really excited, but I think I'm more nervous than everyone else.
I'm really looking forward to it. On the contrary, it's the turn of people who sing well.
I'm looking forward to it so much that I wonder if it's okay to watch it for free.
I'm really proud of you guys.
That's all.
Only a little more until the performance.
And finally...
I'm just looking forward to it!
I'm excited! I'm looking forward to it!
The serious battle between dreamers is finally beginning.
The final tournament of the final round of the final group of group kkb48 group singing power no. 1 decision battle will be held for the third time.
[applause and cheers]
The first group of final group that has qualified will face each other's fierce battle to become the group of 4.
[singing]
I'm going to try my best to very clearly change the atmosphere of the venue, I think!
I'm a little nervous, but as long as I can have fun, I want to have no regrets.
It's okay! We can do it!
Makina Taniguchi and Yano Doki will advance to the finals.
I want to go with you. Let's practice together.
I will do my best to change the atmosphere of the venue.
♪ Even if you stop for a moment, it's too late ♪
♪ With your mouth shut, you're drowning ♪
♪ You're drowning and you're drowning ♪
♪ I can't stay silent any longer ♪
♪ A starry night and dazzling morning ♪
♪ They're like repeating things ♪
♪ Go, fly away ♪
♪ Go and live with yourself ♪
♪ I swore that I'd be by your side ♪
So, only you two have made it to the top, right?
- We did it! - That's right.
- It's tough, but we did it! - We did it!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Well... - We gave it our all.
- You helped Koya-san last year, right? - Yes.
It's because of that that we're doing our best.
It's our second time, and we're just waiting for the results.
This time is crazy. I'm nervous.
When I came off the stage...
Hono and Hono were there.
And then...
They called me out and that made me the most nervous.
For the sake of everyone who came...
I wanted to sing a song that will stay in my memory.
I think I was able to do that.
I believe in it.
- You look happy. - It's over!
Personally, I don't have any regrets.
- Do you think you can be a vocalist? - I want to! I want to!
- Do you think you can? - I can! I can!
- You can? - Yeah.
I'm going to cry. Seriously.
There were fans in front of me.
It wasn't easy for me to sing in front of people.
I was happy.
That's all.
The second group.
Each member will sing their own unique song and compete against each other.
Last time, they won the venue with their energetic performance and advanced to the finals.
Mineyoshi Arisa-san.
I'm going to do my best and have fun with the audience and the judges.
I feel like I'm going to jump out of the stage.
I'm just doing what I've been doing.
I can do it.
Last time, Hino Mimura advanced from NGT to the finals.
The third group.
I want to deliver a story rather than a smile.
I was really nervous at the rehearsal, so I think I can sing better than at the rehearsal.
I want to enjoy it.
Don't bully me.
I'll do my best.
Don't bully me.
The joy of knowing each other and the sadness of hurting each other.
I want to be called out for the first time in my life.
Never be love.
Let's count the kisses you show me.
If only I could remember each one of them.
I'm so glad.
I think I've done my best this year.
I'm confident in myself by trying this song project.
I had a little time to enjoy it.
It's a song that I know the members' direction of, and they were dancing in a fox pose, and I enjoyed singing it.
I was very nervous in a good way, but it was the best song I've ever sung.
I was relieved. I'm very happy that I was able to do what I wanted to do.
Some of the members couldn't perform convincingly.
I thought I wasn't nervous, but after it was over, my hands were numb and I thought I was nervous.
I don't think I can get more results than my ability, so I think that's my ability.
It can't be helped. I'll practice more.
The third group consists of members ranging from veterans to young people.
Nana Okada, who aims for the first championship, and Yura Ikeda, who is in second place in the qualifying round for the first time.
I want to sing with Nana Okada. I want to be one of the eight.
I want the mission to be successful.
If we can do it, it would be best if we could move forward together.
That's what I want to do.
Let's do our best and go up together.
I'm nervous, but I'll do my best.
The oldest member of the competition, 29 years old, Akane Takayanagi.
Her graduation concert was postponed and she is back on stage.
I'm not going to fight. I'm going to deliver my song.
I'm nervous. My hands and feet are bad, so I'm in a hurry.
Asai Nanami, 20 years old.
My feelings are calm, but my body is very nervous and I can't balance it, so I'm trying not to go up.
I think it's okay. All I have to do is sing for my mother.
Actually, this time Asai-san invited her mother to the venue.
There are special feelings there.
What are you singing this time?
This time, the first song is "Mother" and the second song is "Close to you".
There are too many songs that suit me.
The child in the song is also a single mother, but my father is also a single mother and my mother raised me alone.
Asai-san, who grew up in a single parent family.
I had a feeling of wanting to tell my mother, who has always supported me in my dream.
I'm really grateful for raising me alone until I grew up.
I haven't been able to say it directly in words so far, but I think it's because it's a song that I can convey my feelings.
Feelings I haven't been able to say so far, with a song.
The third and last song is "Mother" by Asai Nanami.
I'm sorry I couldn't be honest with you
How much did you help me with your welcome back voice?
Thank you for giving birth to me
I'm happy to be born into your child
I'm happy to be your daughter
Thank you
We've been living together for a long time, and I've been working hard to raise my daughter with the intention of protecting her, so I'm glad my daughter felt that way.
For love's sake
On top of a cramped bed
Rather than holding kindness
If we hug each other's tight bodies
It's not because we're strong that we're laughing
You don't want to see me cry, do you?
I don't know where the wind blew it off
The windmill
I fell in love with waiting
The windmill
Next up is the last singer to judge.
The last one is the fourth.
It's my first time singing.
I thought it was really fun to sing like this alone, and I felt really happy.
It was really good. The adults' expressions were amazing.
Really?
29 years old.
It was the last one, so I enjoyed it.
I was nervous until the rehearsal, but I enjoyed performing.
I didn't make a big mistake, but I felt like I couldn't get rid of the tension, so I'm very anxious now.
I always feel like I'm being attacked by this evil monster of the theater.
The last group of four.
The first queen has appeared in two competitions.
Kano Nojima.
In the middle of my love
I want to sing a song that not only people who see it through the video will say, "That's amazing," but also "I'm glad it was like this."
No, I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it no matter what.
I can do it. I'm sure I can do it.
If I calm down, I think I can do it.
So I'll calm down.
No, but I have to enjoy it.
Even if you say "yes", even if you say "no", even if you say "I love you",
it's easy to play around with, it's a test, it's an exam, it's ridiculous,
I don't even think about it, how many times do I have to say "I love you" again and again?
I want to stay alive, I still want to live, I love you.
Your love forever, I close my eyes and draw you in my heart,
because you are always in the middle of my love.
I poured everything into it, and I was able to do it all by myself.
It was a stage where I was able to discover new things.
I was shaking all the time and it was hard.
When I thought about the members holding me in their arms, I thought we were standing on an amazing stage, and it was a lot of fun.
I don't remember being nervous.
It was a good experience.
19 people have passed the singing test.
A total of 134 people have challenged this competition, and finally only 8 will be selected.
I'm scared!
I want to go out with you!
I want to go out!
SKE48 Yamauchi Suzuran, Yano Honoka, Mimura Hiro, Akiyoshi Yuka.
The names of the members who have left their mark so far have not risen.
The first place in the second group is...
STU48 Ikena Yura!
16-year-old Yura Ikeda made it to the finals for the first time.
I'm really happy. I'll do my best for the next song, too. Thank you very much.
Okada Nana!
Nana Okada's junior, Ikeda, continues.
The remaining two groups are SKE48's two finalists.
Noshima and Furuada have been selected. Congratulations!
That's it. Eight finalists will compete for the Queen of Vocal Ability.
I'm really happy.
But I still have it, so I'll do my best.
I think I'm nervous, but I don't have to worry about anything anymore.
I'm proud of myself.
But I'm glad my passion for fashion is gone.
But three of us can't sing two songs, so we'll sing with our feelings.
I think I've only been getting power from those who support me, so I'd like to sing a song that touches the hearts of the people who support me.
I'd like to sing with the feeling of "it's okay" for the fans.
When it was announced, my heart rate was so high that I realized that I was nervous.
One step of joy.
At this moment, the members whose dreams have come to an end...
Self-documentary...
Let's work hard together.
Let's do our best!
And finally, the second song of fate!
The third and final advance, Nana Okada.
How many minutes later?
Already?
Three minutes later.
Oh, then...
Oh, no! Not again!
I don't want it anymore!
Anne!
After all, I want a solo song.
Everyone who wants to make me happy.
I want to shine more in solo, too.
I will do my best!
In order to realize her dream of a solo debut,
she only aims for the championship.
You called me by my name.
Can I call you by your name?
I'm glad I was able to say it out loud for the third time.
I'll do my best and have fun.
I think it's best for me.
I'll betray my memories.
Embrace the sky and shine.
Boy, be a legend.
Thank you very much.
I've never sung this song in front of Takahashi Yoko.
I'm satisfied and had a lot of fun.
Yes, I have no regrets. This is 100% what I can do. I sang it the best.
I'm back.
Thank you.
I'm going to hit you now.
I'm going.
I have a feeling that I can't easily say in words now, but I just thought that I had it last year and I have it now.
I will win the championship.
I love you forever.
You are in my heart.
I think I did it.
Moreover, it was a difficult time for me to meet you.
I'm glad I sang this song.
The first queen, Kano Nojima.
Her goal is to return to the queen.
And she can only express herself.
My dream in the future is to sing and move people's hearts.
If only one person could see me like that, I think I would sing for him.
Meeting you, laughing with you, all of it, thank you.
Thank you for this life.
I'm happy to sing this song.
It's a great experience. I'm happy to spend a great time in my life.
I was nervous at all.
I'm getting nervous.
I like people.
I like you more.
Can you do it?
You don't have to do your best.
I was so nervous.
I've already taken it off.
I don't know what's going to happen.
But it was fun.
I was happy to sing in front of my fans.
The last singer of the final stage is Yura Ikeda, who made her first appearance.
The finalist she had as her goal has already come true.
What is her next hope?
I'm still a researcher.
I don't think I'm well-known yet.
I hope many people will know me this time.
Be sure to close it.
She is only 16 years old.
However, in the actual performance...
I continue to lose my way and write letters only for you
All I have left is sadness, I'm a hot-tempered stranger
I'm so happy.
My hands were shaking.
I really like "finalist live", so I'm happy to be on it.
- Have you decided what you're going to sing? - Not yet.
I'm looking forward to it.
And the third place in the singing ability No. 1 decision is...
AKB48, STU48...
Okada Nana!
- Mr. Okada, congratulations! - Congratulations!
Thank you!
Of course, my goal was No. 1, but I'm happy to be No. 3.
The second place is...
SKE48...
Nojima Kano!
- Nojima Kano! - Kano is here!
- Kano! - Who's No. 1?
Isn't she No. 2?
Thank you!
I didn't want to be No. 1.
And the winner is...
- Who is it? - Who is it?
STU48, come on!
Please!
STU48...
Ikeda Yura!
Mr. Ikeda, congratulations!
I did it! I did it!
When I wasn't chosen for this competition,
I'm so happy that Sarah Shimizu and I were chosen for this competition.
I'm so happy!
I'm so happy.
I'm so happy that I was chosen for this competition.
The third champion is...
Ikeda Yuratan!
Congratulations!
I am very happy that I had the opportunity to sing my song for many people.
Congratulations!
The youngest, Ikeda Yuratan, made her first appearance and brilliantly shone like a queen!
She won her first prize in the third round of the market clash.
I don't know what it is, but I doubt it's reality.
It's her first time in her life, being surrounded by others.
Thank you.
I've never been surrounded by so many cameras like this before.
It feels like a dream, but I'm full of gratitude for those who supported me.
I've never done anything outside of STU,
so I was worried about what people would think of me.
But I think it was an opportunity for people who didn't know me to know about me.
What is this? I can't believe it.
It's like a scene I've never seen before.
It's like, "Oh, there's something like this."
It's only a little bit, but I got a lot of things.
It was a little time-consuming for me to realize that I had won first place.
First place Ikeda-chan, it was a very nice song, so I'm happy from the bottom of my heart, and it seems like I'm looking at myself in front of me, and I'm about to cry over there.
I felt again that this stage is a stage that leads to great confidence for me.
If you can do a performance that you are convinced of, no matter what rank you receive, you will always be in your heart, so I think this third place was also good.
I'm so happy that you all know how amazing Ikeda Yura-chan is.
But regardless of rank, I hope it will be a song that reaches fans and loved ones.
After all, there is a reason why I came out at this time of year, so I'm satisfied that I can tell fans and leave fans with fun.
It's frustrating, it was fun, it's nice to sing, it's my impression.
I'm proud of being number one on STU.
I really feel that my song has powered up in me.
So I really have no regrets and I was determined to be singer number one.
After it was over, I said, "Oh, it's frustrating," so it was clear that my goal was to aim for the top next.
Members who finished fighting.
I was really angry.
I'm really angry with NMB.
I don't like it. I'm done.
It was the best thing I've ever heard.
Ms. Kurosawa of the Gosperers, who was a judge, was sending encouragement to the members.
I don't think it would have been strange for anyone to be first place, but in the case of Ms. Ikeda, I think it's big that there were a lot of people who discovered it for the first time today.
I think it was a shock that she came out with her shoulders not at all ready as an idol.
A singer who rose like a comet and stood at the top.
I hope that many people will know about me and that I will be able to do various activities thanks to this victory.
I am very happy.
Three weeks after the victory,
Ikeda Yura visits her hometown of Hiroshima.
Good morning.
Did you say "it's me"?
You look very surprised and that is your true nature.
My grandmother was very happy about it and it lasted for several weeks.
She won the title of "singer-songwriter queen" for the first time.
Congratulations!
Ikeda Yura became a special person overnight.
She was born in 2004 in Hiroshima Prefecture.
She was very quiet and shy when she was young.
Since I entered elementary school, I couldn't make friends on my own,
and I was always reading books.
I was the number one bookseller in the library.
When she became a middle school student, she fell in love with dancing and singing.
Since then, she had a dream.
Ever since I started singing and dancing, I wanted to become an idol.
I'm Ikeda Yura. Nice to meet you.
In 2019, she joined STU48 in her hometown of Setouchi Prefecture.
Her dream of becoming an idol came true and she set her next goal.
That is...
When I joined STU and was asked what kind of activities I wanted to do, I said I wanted to become a singer.
It's written that it's not about popularity or luck, it's about singing and competing, and I thought it would be an opportunity for me to go higher.
And for her first attempt in this competition, one person who pushed Ikeda's back was STU's senior, Nana Okada.
I was nervous before it started, but Yura-chan told me it would be okay.
Those words came to me and I was happy that she said them.
Go for it, Yura!
When the final advance, which was her goal, was decided...
The moment I was told that I was going to join STU, I could see Nana-san smiling and I was happy to know that she thought of me.
Out of the eight of us, I was more nervous about that than the ranking announcement.
I want to end my nervousness by the time of the competition.
I want to make it a finalist live that I think is fun.
After winning first place this time, I think I was able to connect a little with myself.
After the competition, she will perform solo songs in the park, and with her singing voice, she is beginning to pave the way.
She is taking a step towards her dream.
A new future.
I want a lot of people to listen to my solo songs and become famous in the world.
