AISubs v3.5
The chosen nine singers will play their dreams.
The third time, akb48 group singer power No. 1 finalist live.
The song "Beginning Song" was composed and composed by Gosperans Kaoru Kurosawa, who was performed for the first time on this stage.
A unit of nine finalists, Nona Diamonds.
On June 30, the single was released and it stuck to the stage.
This March, rehearsal for the live performance.
It's a lot of people.
Thank you, finalists.
Thank you!
This time, it's a finalist and special award show for the number one singing ability that 134 people participated in.
Finalist live by nine people.
And...
And everyone watching the show and watching the TV...
I've prepared one video here.
Please take a look at this.
Thank you!
[Wow!]
[Eh? Eh?]
[Wow!]
[Eh?]
Nine people?
It can't be...
[Eh?]
Amazing!
It's Kurosawa-san!
It's too good!
Amazing!
Kurosawa-san, are you making an original song?
That's right.
Well, I feel like I haven't sung enough yet,
so I'd like you to sing the song I made.
Gosperers, which judges will work on,
are planning the first performance of the song Kurosawa Kaori-san made.
I think it's a song with a wide range and difficult song,
but I wrote it because I thought it would be a new door for you when you sing it well.
The lyrics are like, "I made your story what I thought it would be,"
so I think it's easy to put emotions into it.
It's easy to put emotions into it, but it's hard to explode.
This dilemma is also expressed by your singing ability,
which is not featured much in AKB.
So I think you can sing that part as you like.
Thank you for your cooperation.
The title is "Beginning Song."
Based on the data sent in advance, the members have been practicing individually.
And this day, Kurosawa-san will perform for the first time.
"Beginning Song" is a song about Kurosawa Kaori- san and AKB.
"Beginning Song" is a song about Kurosawa Kaori- san and AKB's debut.
The song is about nine singers who have achieved their goals.
"Beginning Song" is a song about Kurosawa Kaori- san and AKB's debut.
Good work, everyone.
Thank you.
I'm moved.
We've got about 90 points now.
I'm very happy that you practiced more than I expected.
From here, to the actual performance...
And to raise the accuracy...
One more song, I guess.
How can I say it?
So...
It's ideal if you sing like this.
If you're singing too loudly, please remove it.
Because we've made this voice room for you in advance.
So if you sing normally, you can sing loudly.
So don't be too conscious of it.
Sing like this.
In this new song...
I think you wrote the song for a group of singers.
So you're not a favorite member of the AKB group.
I think you'll enjoy it because you're coming to a live performance of a singer and a singer's unit.
Before I entered the singing competition...
Until now...
I've been able to sympathize a lot with my feelings.
The song we've sung so far...
It's a song with a different atmosphere, so there's a harmony.
It's not an idol song.
I often feel like that.
I've never sung a song like this before.
At first, I was afraid we wouldn't be able to complete it ourselves.
The lyrics are really...
It's perfect for all of the members in it.
I like lyrics like "I see, I must have wanted to sing it."
I can sing with a lot of emotion, so it's full of love.
I thought it was a very nice song and I was happy to receive it.
I think you can put a lot of your own personality and feelings of wanting to jump over to this song.
I feel like it's a song that can reach more and more people.
It's starting, listening to this song.
I wanted to make it a song that would make fans feel like something was coming up.
It's an idol song we're singing, but I want you to listen to it as an artist or singer.
I want you to know that even idols can sing like this.
March 26, Chiba Prefecture, Maihama Amphitheatre.
The preparations for the actual performance were in full swing a few hours later.
Everything is done live in the band.
It's a special stage that lasts only one night.
In addition, this day was held with fans under thorough infection prevention measures.
Nine singers are in the venue with that joy in their hearts.
This is the third time.
It's the third time.
That's right.
Last year it was Amphitheatre and the year before it was Toyosupid.
Before the rehearsal, the first ones to go on stage were these two, representing stu48.
It's a long-awaited finalist live.
Yes.
Go for it.
Yura Ikeda, 17 years old.
She became the queen of singing while being a researcher in the third singing power number one final, which she participated for the first time.
Oh, my God!
Wow!
This is for you and your fans.
Oh, I found it.
Yura Ikeda.
Thank you very much.
The countless bouquets that color the stage are the ails for the nine people sent by many fans.
Last year, I came here for my seniors' concert at the STU, when I was in second grade and was allowed to stand in the back.
Even at that time, I thought, "Oh, this is where I'm going to do the finalist live."
Isn't it amazing to stand in the STU with 40 people and stand alone?
That's right.
Because I think it's probably here.
Here.
That's right.
No, I'm alive. Today is zero.
Excited.
It's a stage I've been dreaming of all along, and today is finally here.
When it's over, I want to make it a live performance that you can really enjoy without regret.
First-generation queen.
SKE48's Kano Nojima.
It's been two tournaments since she appeared.
I've only been studying for two and a half months, so I want to do my best not to lose to everyone, or not to pull anyone's legs.
Nana Okada, who will appear three times in a row, is in charge of akb48 and stu48.
She sings with a lot of fun and
Akiyoshi Yuka, who advanced to the final tournament by passing the first place in the qualifying round, has expanded her range of activities with her singing ability.
I think singing is the most expressive thing I can do, so I would like to sing so that my feelings can be conveyed to those who are watching me or those who are watching me on TV.
Nao Furehata of ske48, who entered 4th place for the first time in the room, has a lot of expressive power.
Yano Honoka of sk48 is on stage for the second time. She has strong feelings for this live performance, but...
I haven't been able to meet my fans, I haven't been able to shake hands with them, and there's no energy in the world.
In the midst of not being able to think about various things, we would like to make a live performance that will cheer you up with our songs.
So I don't want to do it just for idol fans, but I want you to see it as an artist.
Hino Mimura, who has been the only participant since njt48. She is good at her favorite musical songs.
I want to deliver a song that can give everyone a smile and hope.
In her 12th year as an idol, SKE48's Suzuran Yamauchi, who has a lot of experience, also made her heart dance to a new stage.
It's not often that we get a chance to sing solo like this.
I hope this stage we've grasped ourselves will be a stage that goes beyond 100%, no, 200% limits.
Yamasaki Amir-san, who will appear for the third time in a special show for judges.
In addition, the stage in the unit beyond the group's limits is also a big highlight of the finalist live.
What kind of chemical reaction will happen?
It's like a collaboration for the first time in seven years.
A collaboration for the first time in seven years.
We've changed and gone through a lot of life.
There were a lot of things.
I'm so happy and grateful to be able to sing with Amir- chan like this.
First of all, it's not often that you can sing with other groups like this.
That's right.
Besides, it's not often that you can listen to a song together.
And at the end of the rehearsal, the song began.
Kurosawa-san also joined us.
Good morning.
Excuse me, can you do the intro again?
Yes.
Good. Good. That's it.
Ms. Kurosawa values her nine people's ability and gaze more than anyone else.
That's why, in order to deliver the best performance she can do now, she gave her advice until the last minute.
Somewhere far away
Like this.
Yes.
Somewhere far away
Like this. Talk more and more.
Somewhere far away
When I decided to be a singer, I thought, "Wow, I'm really good at singing,"
but it felt like I was at an ordinary artist's live festival.
So I think it would be great if you could sing with a lot of fun.
I think it would be a great live if you could sing like, "Look at me!"
Well, I'm nervous, but I think you'll be nervous, too, so let's do our best!
Thank you very much!
All that's left is to wait for the actual performance.
I'm happy.
Your bangs are nice.
You're brave.
I heard you don't go to a beauty salon.
No, I go to a hair salon.
A hair salon?
Yeah, a hair salon.
It's nice.
Is it okay?
Huh?
It's a little burned.
But if it's Tamiguchi or something like that, I go to a lot of hair salons.
Oh, I see.
Then I'll leave it up to you, Yamashita.
Okay!
Everyone, lick it before it starts.
Okay!
Yes, there are a lot of them.
Yes, yes.
I'll make sure the lyrics are correct.
It's okay, it's okay.
Don't worry about it.
I'm sorry!
Don't worry about it.
I'm sorry.
It's okay, it's okay.
Can you say something like "la la la"?
No, I've decided on the actual performance.
I'm sorry!
It's perfect.
I'll give it to everyone.
Yes, please.
Thank you!
At 5:30 p.m., the show finally begins.
While infection prevention measures were being implemented, about 900 fans rushed in.
Before the show, the members united their feelings with the band.
Today you are the main characters.
Let's deliver the music we all made and the things we all worked hard on to our customers and viewers!
Yes!
Yes, OK!
Finalist live, let's go!
This is crazy, really.
I can't keep my face straight.
This is crazy, really crazy.
My facial muscles...
And then...
Finally, the finalist live is about to start!
Yeah!
I've been looking forward to the finalist live for a long time.
I'm very nervous, too.
But I'm going to have fun and do my best today.
Well, everyone, it's about to start.
The nine of us will sing with all our hearts, so please take care of us.
That's all! I'm Yura Ikeda of STU48!
Bye-bye!

Everyone, let's have fun!
I've never cried in a street corner where the lights have gone out
I wasn't afraid of getting rid of by a fast car or a sudden spin
I was watching my red scarf sway with a strange feeling
But I felt it wasn't right for me to cry
I've never cried in the middle of a cold night
Passing by various people, accepting their grief and throwing it back
And as my friends changed, my memories increased
But I felt it wasn't right for me to cry
It's not a decoration, these tears
I'm telling you I love you, aren't I?
It's not a pearl, these tears
It's okay if it's just pretty, but these tears are a little too sad
It's not a decoration, these tears
It's okay if it's just shiny, but these tears are different from diamonds
It's okay if it's just lonely, but these tears are a little too hard

Once upon a time, there lived a clumsy boy and a little strong girl.
They lived in different worlds.
One day, by chance, they met and fell in love.
The boy was kind and always looked down on.
The girl always apologized in letters.
One day, when the stars fell down,
a boy held out his hand and said,
"I love you more than anyone else, more than you think.
My heart is always filled with you.
I may be unreliable, but I'll always protect you.
Ah, please stay with me, stay with me forever."
Since then, the two of them have cut through thorny paths many times,
sometimes fighting storms.
No matter what, they held hands with each other
and caused countless miracles.
I love you more than you think.
My heart is always filled with you.
Even now and in the future, I'll always rely on you.
Hey, please stay with me, stay with me forever.
And they lived happily ever after.
The orange crescent moon is at the edge of the sky and looks like it's sulking.
I couldn't even call you.
I hated you and waited for you for so long.
I know that you're busy with work today, but
I miss the sound of your footsteps on the asphalt alone.
I want to tell you that I'm bored.
I want to see you so much that I want to cry.
I want to fly away with the sky right now.
Why did I fall in love with you so much?
I didn't mean to be serious.
It's because of the night breeze.
How long do I have to wait before I can see you?
Should I stay here until dawn?
Why do I have so much courage?
I can come back tomorrow, but I don't want to go home.
Ah...
That there is a dream that is very important to me
No one has said a word about it
If I were to say it easily
The feelings I've kept deep in my heart will leak out
Even if I reach out my hand
It will never reach you
What is hope?
The further away you are, the brighter the light is
Don't give up, don't look back, don't run away from yourself
There is only one way to go, no matter how far it is
Beyond despair, you will see a faint light
Even if you get tired and fall down
Stand up again
Someday, I want to reach it
To where my dream, full of dreams I've always wanted, is
Does it make you hot?
Does it make you crazy?
It's wonderful!
The further away you are from your goal,
the brighter the light is.
Don't give up.
Don't run away from yourself.
You have no choice but to walk the dark road.
You can see a faint light ahead of despair.
Even if you get tired and fall down,
stand up again.
Someday you will reach
the place of your dream
that you have always wanted to reach.
(Wow...)
Yeah!
So, we listened to five people's first solo songs in a row.
Are you enjoying it?
Yeah!
Thank you!
First of all, Suzuran-san, you showed us your "not a decoration" tears.
How was it?
You're nervous, aren't you?
You're talking in one go, aren't you?
I'm a cat.
I'm usually like, "I'm going to sing now" in my first solo song.
But it started like "du-du-ru-ru" from the beginning.
So I was like, "Should I just go with the flow?"
It started on its own, didn't it?
It didn't feel like that at all.
I'm glad you wrote it.
When I wrote it backstage, I was like, "Oh, I'm nervous!"
What are you trying to do?
I thought you had a good junior.
By the way, can I ask you something?
Yes.
What happened to your hair?
For today's concert, I dyed my hair to match my dry hair.
I see!
It's hot!
It suits you so well!
I wanted to show you how far I've come.
That's amazing!
Thank you!
You're so cool!
Wow!
Amiru-chan, you wrote "Bedtime Story." How was it?
Yes, I did.
I wanted to sing a cute song for you.
I love this song, so I chose it.
My outfit is also pink.
That was cute!
I was really moved.
I was so moved that I said "she's cute" behind her back.
Yano Honoka, "Yokaze no Shiwaza".
We can sing a song of 48 Group, but we sang "Yokaze no Shiwaza" by Kashiwa Geek.
I'm so happy that we can sing a song of this band.
I think we were able to deliver "Yokaze no Shiwaza" to you.
How was it, everyone?
Yano-chan's voice is really clear.
I'm jealous of you.
I opened my mouth wide and looked at you.
I want you to close your mouth.
You look like children.
We all have different voices, don't we?
That's right.
Kano-chan, "Yume no Arika".
I performed "Yume no Arika".
It's a solo song that won first place in the singer's group number one final round.
It's really emotional for me to be able to sing it on this stage.
Thank you so much for coming.
When we won first place and had second place, we thought about which song we should sing.
But in the third place, we were able to sing "Yama no Itadaki" by Kashiwa Geek.
Was there such a song?
There is such a song.
What was it?
Yama no Itadaki
It's a song that makes you want to sing it.
It was cool.
I'd like to announce one more thing.
"Yume no Arika" is different from "Ongen" this time.
The band arranged it for us.
It's really cool.
Isn't it?
I'm really happy.
The band members arranged the music for us.
It's a song that hasn't been done before.
It's a song that makes you feel like it's our song.
What do you think, Hikawa-san?
Stop it. I don't know the answer to that question.
But even from the looks of it...
Until now, we've sung ballad songs at competitions.
So we wanted to sing a song that we don't sing at competitions.
That's why we chose this song.
We were overwhelmed by Akiyoshi-chan's confidence.
I'm happy.
She's always like that.
Is Ran-san nervous?
Ran-san is definitely nervous.
Is she the type of person who talks a lot?
She talks a lot when she's nervous!
She's cute!
You're nervous, aren't you?
Please stop it.
We're going to perform a solo song for the first time.
Yano-chan, can you tell us about your solo song?
It's a great song and it will continue.
It's "Kuse ga Tsuyoi".
For some reason...
During rehearsal, we told Yano-chan to say it.
We practiced "Kuse ga Tsuyoi" after singing it.
Even in the script, it was written in a different color.
It's like a surprise mark.
"Kuse ga Tsuyoi" will continue!
Are you still excited?
Then, please listen to four songs in a row!
Here you go!

The gaze that reflects
Is someone looking at me through the mirror?
In the dark sky of the railroad
The wind that whistles
Is it different from yesterday?
Let me hear your voice
Show me who you are
Let me go
Hey, the key is broken
A bird in a cage
A bird forever
It's a long story
A chain that only I can see
Still connected
Wandering in a dream
A face that's been waiting for a long time
Two eyes of glass
I want to end it already
But I'm afraid of the end
Will it repeat again?

It's a long story
A chain that only I can see
I'm still connected
Wandering in a dream
Two eyes of glass with tired faces waiting for me
I want to stop it now
But I'm afraid of the end
So I'm repeating it again
See you next week!
Don't call me that, adults
Even so, our hearts right now are pure
I want to say "I love you" to the sky
Just holding your hand tightens my heart
I will love you forever
I'll keep the promise we made
I won't let you go in this sad sky
So don't look at anyone else
Just look at me
You know my song
I don't want to be apart from you, joy my life
Let's fall in love, just the two of us
Baby, don't look at anyone else
Just keep looking at me
You know, I don't want to talk about love
But you have, I love you
Always, darling, I love you
Don't tell anyone else
Yes, I know, so that it won't break
Always, I can live without you
You give love in you
Muscle rain to bustly oosh,
Nougat to carlben,
Dazzle, fingers and lips, you're always looking good,
Rootsies to the paradise,
Slippery skin and black and blue,
Donald and Papa are crushed,
Come on, bite me and wait for me!
Two of us, like demoniacs,
Are going to turn into bees,
Everyone's having fun, right?
Why are you crying?
Love your heart,
Dye it black like the wind,
Slippery skin and black,
Black, black, black life!
The bust of you floating in the air,
It's like a merry-go-round,
Throw it away and give it back,
It's about time we went out,
Angel and cradle,
It's weird, isn't it?
No one has it in their hands,
A plastic bag and an empty can,
You're always the one who melts it,
Whether you like it or not,
Hey, isn't it fun?
Why are you crying?
If you don't quit, you won't lose,
You're free, right?
I'll give you as much as you want,
But,
If you get tired of it, I'll throw it away,
Cause I love dirty black love, black life,
Black love, black life,
Don't hang up the phone,
Don't turn off the motorcycle,
If you want to get in the car,
I'll call you,
More than a broken mask,
Our eyes are the only ones that shine,
Take off your mask,
And step into this place,
Tears,
Black Love, Black Life

I walked this narrow and long road without knowing it.
Looking back, I can see my hometown far away.
It's a bumpy road and winding road.
There is no map and it is also life.
Many generations have passed.
Ah... Like the river's flow...
As I wait for the season's snow to melt...
I'll leave myself to you.
I don't want to hear it.
Yaaaaay!
This way. Come here, come here.
This way.
Come here.
Okay!
We've performed our first solo song in a row for the four of us.
How was it, everyone?
How was it?
Yeah!
I'm sorry, I got carried away.
Before we started, Kono-tan said that we all have strong habits.
Yes, she said we all have strong habits.
But I think only Furuwata-san and Hino-chan have strong habits.
No, I don't have strong habits.
No, you do!
I do!
You sank, didn't you?
I sank.
Like this.
You were dancing, weren't you?
I was dancing.
Was I cool?
No, the one who was cool was...
Furuwata-san.
No, I was really free and kind, but after that...
My blackness was washed away by the river.
Thank you. I'll purify you.
Thank you so much!
I purified you. Thank you very much!
Her blackness disappeared and she became white.
That's right!
I think the fans were really relieved, too, thanks to Yura-chan.
That's right.
Hino-chan's worldview...
I'm happy!
Is that your original choreography?
Yes, it is!
It's from the anime "Aikatsu!".
I'm exactly the same generation as you.
It's a song from a character I loved at the time.
I haven't copied it yet, but I did a homage to it and performed it for you.
That's amazing!
It really was amazing!
Come to think of it, you were able to use a lifter!
Yes, it seems like it!
The song has a really long impression...
It makes you feel like you don't have enough energy, so shall we sink in?
That's what we talked about.
I see!
This song is really...
The band is really cool...
One day, on this finalist's stage...
I thought I'd ask you all to play it for me...
I'm glad!
I asked you!
I'm glad! I'm glad!
The band always asks me to play it for them!
It's difficult!
It is!
What about you, Nacchan?
It's a song called "Labasso" by Kou Shibasaki.
Has anyone seen the drama "Otomen" that we did more than ten years ago?
Eh?!
Ah! A little bit! I'm happy!
When I was in elementary school, I really liked the drama "Otomen".
And the theme song was "Labasso".
So, since I was in elementary school, I sang my favorite song on stage.
Me too!
Ah! Since you were in elementary school!
Since I was in elementary school, my wish has come true!
It makes you want to sing it, doesn't it?
That's why singing it was so much fun for me!
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
It was like...
Is this Nacchan's live?
It was really like that!
It had a great feeling!
Everyone was so kind!
Thank you very much!
I'm glad!
Uragata-san...
You were amazing!
At first, you sang me a song called "B.E.L."
It was like...
How do I say it?
You sang it in rehearsal, didn't you?
And you showed me the video you took of it.
Yes, yes.
But there were so many staff members laughing.
No, it was so amazing that I couldn't help but laugh.
Ah, I see.
It's like...
You know...
It's hard for me to speak now.
That's right.
So I thought I'd use it and let you immerse yourself in this world.
But my eye color is light blue and yellow-green.
Ah, I see.
I chose it because I like colors that are gentle to the eyes.
But I didn't use it.
I'm sorry!
That's how I felt.
It was wonderful.
Thank you.
It was cool.
Thank you.
I'm really happy.
Thank you!
I was happy.
I chose "Kawane no Nagare no You ni" this time.
I chose it because someone told me I should sing it.
I was worried because it was so difficult.
Even before the performance, I was nervous and worried.
But Furuhato-san's "BL" was right in front of me.
I sang it like this.
Kawane no Nagare no You ni
I was like, "I'm going to spit it out!"
Ah, I see.
I felt like I was going to be taken away.
With these two fingers.
No, with three fingers.
About you, Yura-chan.
But after listening to "BL", I think I calmed down.
I wasn't nervous anymore.
I was like, "Ah, I didn't know I could sing like this."
You got brave.
Yes.
That's amazing.
Thank you.
I'm happy.
You made a beautiful voice.
You're right.
Even though you're so small, you made such a big voice.
Why do you have such a story-telling voice?
It's cool.
That's amazing.
How much do you want?
Don't give that to my daughter.
That's no good.
You didn't teach her that?
That's no good.
She's pure.
She's only 17 years old.
I'll give you as much as you want.
Let's go.
Let's go back to the live show.
Nao-san, please tell us what you're going to do next.
I'm going to sing a song that you can only see here.
I... Can I say it?
Yes, you can.
I'm going to sing with Nana Okada.
I'm looking forward to it.
It's been 6 or 7 years since we sang together.
We sang together at an AKB concert.
It was a young concert.
We had black hair and long hair.
That's right.
This time, we're going to meet you in person.
Please look forward to it.
I'm looking forward to it.
The live will continue. Everyone, are you ready to get excited?
That's nice. Thank you for the applause.
Thank you.
Then please listen to four songs in a row.
Here you go!
Maybe it's okay if it's not me
We had no time to spare
We always fought when we realized it
I'm sorry
I've always wanted to talk to you
I'm sure we won't meet
It's a room where only the two of us are in
You were the only one talking
If we ever meet somewhere
Will you smile for me today?
I can't tell you why
But I don't like crying after you sleep
Your voice, your face, your awkwardness
I don't hate them all
Days with you like a dry flower
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
They'll fade away
Maybe I didn't have to worry about you
You won't make me cry anymore
And you won't say "it's always me" anymore
Even if it's such a sad goodbye
As time goes by, I'll forget you
I wonder if you and the new person next to you
Are doing well together
I don't want to see your face anymore
So I don't want you to call me
You haven't changed a bit
But you still don't know how to answer me
Your voice, your face, and how clumsy you are
I don't think you still hate me
Dry flower
As time goes by, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
I'll fade away
[Miyashita Yuu - "Miyashita Yuu"]
At the end of a winding road (at the end of the road)
Many small lights are waiting for you
Even if it's still far away and you can't see it (even if you can't see it)
(one step at a time)
Just believe in that alone
[Miyashita Yuu - "Miyashita Yuu"]
Even if you can't love everything (even if you can't love everything)
In your own heart (in your own heart)
There's only one thing (there's only one thing)
The person you continue to love (the person you continue to love)
That proud face of yours (that proud face of yours)
There's kindness overflowing as big as nothing
At the end of a winding road (at the end of the road)
Many small lights are waiting for you
Even if it's still far away and you can't see it (even if you can't see it)
Just believe in that alone
With the palm of my hand clenched tight
I can't grasp anything
From the gap of my open fingers
The dream and yearning he once had
Seems like it only wants me to realize it
It's looking forward to tomorrow
At the end of a winding road
A small light that shines on and off
It's still far away and I can't see it
But for now, that's all I want
A narrow exit called "fun"
A narrow exit
Good feelings are pulling me in
La la la...
Looking back,
I was just walking straight forward.
I followed my footsteps until today.
Because I'm waiting for that day
when I could see my dream at the end of a winding road.
THE END
You smiled at me and said "see you again"
We were laughing back at each other like before
But before I knew it, you had blurred a little
Many nights have passed since then
I still gaze at the scenery I want to see with you
On the white screen across the window
Like the snow falling down
I can only think of you in this city
Even if we can't touch each other
Nothing will change
No matter how many times I look back
Every day, your words and voice
Make me want to see you
No matter how many times we believe in each other
We can always be connected
Even in this city lit up by the snow
Someday, a gentle spring will bloom
When we meet again here, I hope you won't shed a tear
Spring snow announces the end of winter
At that moment, I place my wish
This season and scenery,
I want us to feel it in the same place
A gentle breeze blows through the city
On that day when vivid flowers bloom,
And for us two who continue to wait,
Ah, spring will come, won't it?
I hope we can meet again with a smile
The words we swore on a legendary morning
Illuminate a miracle with our shared voices
Revolution, one, let's shout!
In front of the wind is a sky of light
Blowing through the residual strength
This right hand and this left hand, what do you want?
A soul's own quality
A desired emotion
If we overlap, if we connect
Will it reach you?
Entrust it to fate, as it flows
An unchanged passion
Isn't interesting
In front of a miracle
Like a trumpet, a revolution's rhythm
Now, let's begin
With a single mind, the direction of life
Will it reach you?
Between high and low
Come with me, to the end of your dream
No matter what road we take
Someday we will mix together
On that day, you will make a judgment
Revolution, one, let's shout!
Just Trust My Heart (Just Trust My Heart for You)
If you hold on to your pride and love's crystal, it will take you there.
I've seen it all, from the moment I met you until now.
You & I love so.
Ah, I'm broken and isolated.
Let's try to send a telepathic report.
It's a high-profile love, isn't it?
Come and know the end of your dream.
No matter what happens, someday it will get better.
On that day, you will be a judge.
Revolution, one, let's shout!
Cool!
It was fun.
It was tough.
It was amazing.
Yes! We listened to four songs in a row!
Thank you!
Let's hear each unit's impressions!
First of all, Akiyoshi-san and Yamasaki-san, who performed "Dry Flower" for us. How was it?
Last year, we performed "Dry Flower" together as well.
This year, I feel more confident.
It's true. I feel like we both grew up and came back.
I feel very secure.
Thank you! It was fun!
It was fun!
I hope we can do it again!
I thought it was amazing that you could play the guitar.
I tried playing the guitar once, but my little finger was too short and couldn't reach it.
I gave up, but I admire you.
It's cute!
Next, Nojima-san and Yamasaki-san, who performed "Winding Road". How was it?
It was fun!
It was fun! It was the most fun!
The harmonies were very difficult.
It was Ayaka-san and Kobukuro-san.
We rehearsed this song over and over again and practiced until we were satisfied.
When we performed it here, it was the coolest and most fun.
I was shaking!
The moment we stood here, I thought I was Kobukuro!
What?
It's nothing.
Thank you!
It was fun!
There were Akiyoshi-san and Kobukuro-san.
There were a lot of people!
I'm a guest today.
Next, Yano-san and Mimura-san, who performed "Reunion". How was it?
I've always wanted to perform this song.
I wanted to perform it in Niigata.
Am I the only one in Niigata?
I'm from Setouchi, but I wanted to perform it in Niigata.
I asked Hino-chan to do it.
I'm really happy.
It came true.
It was only the day before the competition that we met for the first time.
We talked for the first time and sang "Reunion" for the first time.
We said we'd practice the harmonies and practiced.
But we sang it until now, so I feel like we did our best.
You're an adult!
We're adults!
We sang "Reunion" with Lisa-san and Ul-san.
It was fun. Thank you.
Next, Nana-san and Furuhata-san, who performed "Reunion" for the last time. How was it?
We've changed.
You've changed!
You've become cooler!
When we faced each other seven years ago, you had black hair and I had long hair like Mona Lisa.
We sang "Christmas Eve" together.
When we realized it...
Your hair color has changed, too.
It's pink like a cherry blossom.
We were like that.
I thought only Furuhata-san could do Nishikawa Takanori-san's part, so I wrote "Furuhata Nao-san" in the survey.
I wanted to do "revolutionary idealism" too, so I wrote "revolutionary idealism" in the survey and wrote "Ran- san" instead of "Furuhata Nao-san".
You got it right?!
You got it right!
I feel like I've been dumped.
I'm sorry.
Actually...
No, it's not like that.
There's a reason for it.
I thought "Na-chan" would be good, too.
But I was a little embarrassed.
I was worried about whether I could sing with you for a long time.
Ran-san
You shouldn't say that, either!
"Ran-san"!
Wait, you're the second woman?!
Are you the second woman?!
I'm sorry about that.
I'm sorry.
But I'm sorry! I can't do it! You have to win for me!
You want me to win for you?!
Yes!
I'm happy you like the song I wrote.
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
You were great!
You were cool!
Let's go back to the live performance.
Ms. Yamasaki, please tell us what you're going to do next.
I'm going to tell you about "Kashou Ryoku No. 1 Music History"!
I'm going to play the preliminary and final songs that I performed in the first to the third competition!
I'm looking forward to it!
Please continue to enjoy!
Please listen to nine songs in a row!
Please!
These feelings I've gathered up until the last second
The days that have piled up
Won't betray you
The dazzling sun will turn into a sunset
Illuminating a youthful time that will never come again
I love your eyes that chase your dreams straight ahead
I want to cherish the fact that I can be with you now
Tears and smiles are proof of how reckless I've become
I'm proud of living with you like that
The scenery you're looking at now
The sound of the wind you can hear
All of it is supporting you
Fly high into the sky!
I love the way you look as you chase your dream.
I want to cherish the fact that I can be with you now.
Tears and smiles are proof of how reckless I've become.
I'm proud of the fact that I can live with you like that.
I'll always be proud of you.
Good-bye, water pen.
The night that was trembling will end yesterday.
I want to make sure of the reason I met you in the dark.
I want you to open your eyes.
I want to introduce you to the sound of my shoes and the world I sleep in.
I'm looking up at my bike that fell into a dead end.
I'm sure I'm the only one who can heal the real sadness.
I've just started my revolution.
I want to tell someone about disturbing tomorrow.
My first, my death, right now.
If you want to chase your dream, you have to make it worthwhile.
You taught me.
My first, my death, I can start running.
What I want, my revolution, is to change tomorrow.
The love I want to tell someone, my best, my lips, right now.
If you want to chase your dream, you can't be cheap.
The love you taught me, my best, my lips, I can start running.
We closed the door to our room
And said goodbye to our memories
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
The sleepless night is yours
Come here, I'll gently close my eyes
Don't forget the days we spent together
You won't regret it, will you?
That we loved each other
It's the opening ceremony!
Today is the opening ceremony!
The windows and doors are already open
How long has it been?
There are so many plates too
The closed rooms are also decorated beautifully for celebration
It feels like I'm in a different place
I was dreaming of this moment
That's how I was born
I pray for music
I dance and show it off
Ah, I'm so happy I feel like I can fly
I'm not alone anymore
Like in a dream, I get to meet all kinds of people today
Ah, I might even meet my destiny
Tonight I'll wear a beautiful dress and be fashionable
I'm more attractive than anyone else
All of a sudden, I realize
I'm a wonderful young man
I'm embarrassed so I'll eat some chocolate
We'll talk about all kinds of things and get along
It feels kind of weird
My heart starts dancing for the first time in my life
I want to be called out for the first time in my life
Let's secretly pray for romance to come
So we can meet someone special
I want to be alone
I don't want to see anyone
If I were to touch you with my own hands
Would everyone notice?
But if it's only for today (even if it's only for today)
Let's open our eyes (let's dream)
Now (now)
Can freedom be given for the first time in life?
Let's change everything
Let's find love (let's have fun)
Even if it's only for one day (even if it's only for one day)
Let's make our hearts pound (let's make our hearts pound)
Now, for the first time in life (now)
For the first time in life (now)
(now)
Even so, it's okay
Even so, I think it's okay
It was love
Even if I know I can't go back
I want to be connected
For the first time, I felt like this
Sometimes we can't be different
It's natural for us to break promises
Even so, it's okay
Sometimes I think I'll be alone
I wish I had forgotten that time
But these tears are the answer, right?
I won't lie to my heart
Do you even remember love?
Your smell, your gestures, everything
It's strange, isn't it? Say it and smile
Even though we're separated, it's only about you
Did you think love could be so painful?
Did you think love could be so sad?
I thought you meant everything to me
The way you talk, the way you move, everything about you
It's strange, isn't it? Say it and smile
Even though we're separated, I can only think about you
You're the unforgettable person in me
Even if we can never go back to the days we spent together
Right now, it's only you, only you
Only you
Children face the sky
Spreading both hands, birds and clouds
Even dreams, I try to grasp them
That figure is me, who knows nothing about yesterday
To you, I believed these fingers would reach
Beyond the sky and earth intersecting
A path that calls travelers from the past
To you, I'm just a passerby
A stranger who just turned around for a moment
For some reason, time travel fills my heart with scars
On this mysterious road
I keep writing letters of goodbye and getting lost
All that's left is sadness, a stranger who just turned around for a moment
The water of the pond, like a mirror,
imitates the blue color of the sky and lives in a park.
The water bird gives life to it.
Light and shadows, front and back,
without contradiction, they are close together.
If only we could be like this...
Why...
Really...
I don't know, but...
Through someone...
Through something...
Our feelings will connect, won't they?
To you, who is far away...
That's all I can say now...
Sad yesterday...
Beyond the tears...
If it turns into a smile someday...
I like people...
I can like them more...
So I don't have to work hard...
I like the moment...
I can like you more...
So I don't have to hurry...
[applause]
"Goodbye", "thank you" is all I can say.
But what's more important than sadness
is what I want to tell you to your dying back.
I hope I can make it in time for your warmth and pain.
I thought it would go on like this,
drawing our tomorrow.
Even though the light we were looking forward to
is still hot in our hearts.
We met in the middle of a burning journey.
We held hands and talked about the future.
Whenever my dream comes true, I want to be stronger than you.
Please don't wish for it.
It's okay to be determined.
Caught up in nostalgic feelings
Crying out to a cruel world
The more you grow up, the more you increase
I don't want to lose anything anymore
If you drown in sadness and fall
You won't feel pain anymore
Your words, your wishes
I swore I would protect them
Now...
Even if you shout out loud, you'll fall
Into a world with only one irreplaceable world
I reached out and held on to a bundle of intense light
For the future that shined and disappeared
I'll go beyond the happiness and promises hidden
Because I'll move forward without looking back
Because I'll look only forward and shout
I'll light a fire in my heart
For a distant future
Ah...
I'm telling you, oh yeah
I softly whisper
Tonight, tonight
You are my engine
I love you, oh yeah
The two of us together
Tonight, tonight
I just wanna say
Wherever you are, I always make you smile
Wherever you are, I'm always by your side
Wherever you say, I feel good thinking of you
I promise you forever, right now
I don't need a reason, oh yeah
I just want you, baby
Alright, alright
Day of the day, mmm yeah
From now on and forever
Oh yeah, please stay with me until you die with me like me
Oh, we carry on
Wherever you are, I always make you smile
Wherever you are, I always find your side
Whatever you say, the feelings I have for you
I promise you forever right now
Wherever you are, I never make you cry
Wherever you are, I never say goodbye
Whatever you say, the feelings I have for you
I promise you forever right now
The day we met is the first memory for us
And today is the second memory for us
I love you
From the bottom of my heart, I love you
Because in the middle of my love, you are always there
Wherever you are, I always make you smile
Wherever you are, I'm always by your side
Whatever you say, the feelings I have for you
I promise you forever, right now
Wherever you are
Yeah!
Yay!
So, everyone!
We've come this far, but how was it to continue playing the instrumental song?
Thank you!
Now, I'd like to ask a few people about their stories.
First of all, it's Mimura-chan, who sang this Disney song in this sacred place of Maihama!
That's right! I sang this song for the first time since I was born!
That's amazing! You have such a big heart!
By the way, in my last finalist live performance, I sang "Into The Unknown" by 2NE1.
This year, I sang this song for the first time since I was born!
But that's not all!
I sang this song for Ms. Nojima Kano, who plays Elsa!
I didn't know you'd be here!
Oh, you really didn't know?
Yes, I'm here as Elsa! Thank you for having me!
That's amazing! We have a lot of guests today!
I'm Elsa!
I was like, "Oh, it's her!"
That's true!
But it felt really good to be here!
I'm sure you did!
I did!
It felt really good! Thank you!
So it was your first time doing a duet?
That's right!
I was really happy!
That was amazing! Thank you!
Next up is Iketani, who sang "Ihojin"!
Yes!
How was it?
I sang this song in the finals,
and I thought I'd only sung it once, but I was able to sing it again, so I was happy!
You've leveled up since the finals, haven't you?
What about me?
You don't look like a kid anymore!
You look like a kid!
When Iketani sang "Ihojin" in the finals at STU,
STU staff and everyone called you "Ihojin"!
That's crazy!
Are you happy about that?
Yes, I'm happy!
You're happy!
I'm glad!
It's different now!
But it really calmed me down!
I'm glad!
Iketani, how old were you again?
I was 17!
17 and you sang "Ihojin"!
That's true!
You look like an adult!
Thank you for the food!
Thank you!
Next, Okada-chan!
Yes!
Okada-chan, isn't "Kimetsu no Yaiba" an amazing song?
That's right!
I sang "Homura" in the third finals,
and I thought I'd sing it again if I didn't sing it in the finals!
But ever since I left the finals, I asked the producer if I could sing it again if I didn't make it to the finals.
You really wanted to make it!
I'm glad you made it!
You've won it three times in a row.
Yes, I've won it three times in a row.
The prize money.
Yes, the prize money.
That's wonderful!
Thank you!
I'm happy.
You all have different colors.
I didn't know there were girls like you in the 48 Group.
I think your new discovery is your singing ability.
I want to ask you something.
I'm going to ask you again.
Has anything changed since you won the championship?
Has anything changed?
Well, I was always called "Ikeda-chan", but people around me called me "illegal person".
That's not true!
They called me "wolf" and so on.
"Wolf"?
Now, say it with me...
Congratulations!
Thank you!
I'll say it again.
Thank you!
That's it for today, but did you guys have fun?
Now we can hear one of your favorite songs.
Yano-chan, could you explain it to us?
Everyone, let's hear 48 Group's song...
What?
Did you say something, Yano-chan?
Let me say it one more time.
We will perform 48 Group's song with a medley!
Yay! We did it!
We did it, we did it!
Since you can't say it out loud,
I'd be happy if you could say it in your heart or with a penlight you have.
By the way, my penlight is blue and red.
Wait a minute!
Let's switch! Let's switch!
Hey, don't switch it up!
The number of bells isn't enough!
Blue and red.
The other way around.
Anyway, please say how you feel to us with your penlight!
Let's do it, everyone!
48 Group Medley!
Here we go! Here's the song! Here you go!
Chasing the bus that started running, I wanted to tell you
The blur in my heart disappeared and I saw something important
Even though you gave me such a simple answer, why did you hesitate and look away?
In order for me to be me, let's be honest with our impulses
I love you, I love you so much, I'll run with all my might
I love you, I love you forever, I'll shout as much as I can
I love you, I love you so much, I can't breathe
I can't hide it, I'm so angry
I love you, I love you so much, I'll shut up and stay like this
There's nothing to be embarrassed about
The words "I love you" are the best
I'll spit out my emotions and get out of the underlay right now
The small shadow of an antique scarf, a silk embroidery, and my lips are moving.
What worries are you carrying in your heart now, and will you be blown away by the gentle breeze?
I want to protect you from a distance without you noticing.
Your gaze warms me up, the sun.
I'm not used to being a poet who talks about love.
Instead of decorating myself with words, I'm always different.
I'm not used to being a poet who talks about love.
My heart flutters, my heart flutters.
I hope it's a flower that can be swallowed up.
Thank you for coming!
I'm not here, on a summer sandy beach.
Who are you looking at the sea with?
As soon as the pressure goes down, I know
For some reason, it's painful
If several typhoons had passed by
Would my feelings for you disappear?
There's no me near you
As if shouting, the waves rush in
Who can you get that hot sun?
In front of an amateur's tent
Even though it's always me
I was called by someone's name and turned around
but there was only wind blowing
and there was no one there.
My heart is full of boredom.
The grass is all over the place.
The memories of my childhood
make me feel even more lonely.
Every time I grow up
I realized it.
From the bottom of my empty eyes.
People hear the evening melody.
Maybe it's in the sky.
As I wished for.
That voice reached me.
In the corner of the world.
I'm sure someone is watching me.
Even though I know I'll remember it.
I wanted to believe in yesterday's float.
Hello! I'm LGT48! Nice to meet you!
Why do seasons change without us realizing it?
The scenery of the city and the scent of flowers are changing.
How have you been, girl? What have you been up to? It's been a while.
Your charme and pink go well with your skirt color.
In the gentle breeze, you turn your head and meet up with someone too cute.
Just for whose sake am I still running?
Sometimes I think about it and stop
Where am I going with these painful feelings?
I don't know, there must be some flat and easy path
When you're about to give up, turn the wind on your side and smile
Just for the number of wheels you turned on the pedal course, you should get closer to your dream
Your breath is out of order and you're sweating
Keep going on the steep and gloomy path
To live is to keep stepping on the pedal
Everyone is suffering
I'm forced to say it's for my own sake
No matter what path I take, life is all about the wheels that turn with real love
I just have to get closer to my dream
My breath is out of order and I'm sweating
Keep going on the steep and gloomy path
Today, I'm so happy to stand on this stage with my friends who love singing so much like this.
There are many wonderful songs in the 48 group.
I want to sing them carefully in the future as well.
I hope you will be happy with our songs.
Are you watching the sunset?
I don't know what day it was, but I'm sure I'll come back.
There are good things and bad things.
I hope you have fun.
I don't want to worry about my family, friends, and people around me.
I don't want you to force yourself to smile and lie to yourself.
I don't want you to feel the wind of the season.
I don't want you to notice the flowers on your feet.
If we can be so grateful for a little encounter, we can be happy.
Are you looking at the setting sun?
Will you teach me how to accept the present and move forward?
What you lose is something you will definitely get someday.
The area is getting darker little by little.
Stars like power lines that draw the night.
Until tomorrow comes, let's dream like you do.
Are you looking at the setting sun?
Your back is beautiful as time passes.
Even if today is over and everything is reset, the night will come.
You're always alone.
Why don't you praise yourself?
Let me see you properly.
That you live like you are.
Thank you for listening to "48 Groove Medley".
How did you like it?
Yura-chan, what's wrong?
You're crying.
I've been singing this song in STU's park.
Yes, you did it in my sun park.
At first, 16 people didn't choose me.
But I sang this song here.
I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
Yes, you sang it all, Yura-chan.
Thank you very much.
It was wonderful, wasn't it?
Yes, it was.
Then let's ask for other impressions.
Amiru-chan!
Yes!
How was it, starting with the calmness of your singing?
No, really...
The key is different from the previous song, so I was really nervous.
But I think I was able to bring the venue to the sea.
The sea...
I was able to push away the waves.
I really want to apologize to Amiru-chan, but...
Ah, yes.
When you were singing in front of me...
Me, Suzuran-san, and my senior...
I'm really sorry for disturbing you.
No, no, no!
I'm sorry!
No, no, no!
It's my position, so...
I felt good, and I forgot about the next song.
I was like, "Why isn't there a song request?"
I was really sorry!
Please be strong, SK!
Kano-san!
From now on...
Nojima-san will stand above us.
Kano-san...
Kano-san, from now on, please be kind to us.
I'm really sorry!
I understand.
Akiyoshi-chan, too...
Yes!
Your solo...
It was cool!
Yes, it was a solo, but...
I sang a song called "Sora Mimi Rock".
Thank you!
It was really good!
I thought I might be able to make the audience listen to "Sora Mimi"...
Eh?
Adriana?
Yes!
This song is really good!
It was on fire before it came out...
Well, then...
Let's try once more!
What should we do?
Okay!
As for the 2nd verse.
Yeah!
As for the 2nd verse.
Yeah!
I've prepared a game where everyone repeats or someone will be in the middle and change the notes of the song.
Yano-san and I happened to choose it.
I thought, since you're a second generation, you might sing "Bokura no Shunkashuu" by a second generation.
So I wrote it in the survey.
I wrote it too.
I thought, "Oh, it's a pedal!" and I was happy.
You were happy?
Yes.
Yay!
Wonderful!
Now, we'd like to go back to the live performance, but the next song is the last song.
Yes.
Yura-chan, please play the song.
Yes.
This song is a very important song that I sang at the end of the final tournament.
Please listen to it.
"Kamihikouki" by 365 days.
Looking up at the morning sky, I wish for a day like today
so that I can stay with a smile on my face.
Sometimes it rains and tears overflow,
but I'll do my best tomorrow on a day when I can't go back to how I felt.
The dream I've always had is to be alone
and do whatever I want to do freely as I like.
Life is like a kamihikouki. It flies with a wish.
As far as you can in the wind, just keep going.
It doesn't matter how far you fly or where you fly
because it's the most important thing.
Now, 365 days as you like.
Life is like a paper airplane, it flies with a wish on board.
Even in the wind, as much as you can, you just have to move forward.
Rather than competing for that distance, did you fly? Where did you fly?
That's the most important thing.
Now, 365 days as you like.
Let's fly, let's fly.
Thank you very much!
[Music]
Yes, it's you.
Yes, thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
I think it's a song with a wide range of tones and is difficult,
but when I sang it well, I wrote it thinking that everyone's new door might open.
Everyone at the venue and everyone watching on TV,
we have prepared a video here.
What? What? What?
Nine people?
It can't be...
It's Mr. Crozer!
It's too fast!
Mr. Crozer, are you making an original song?
I feel like I haven't sung enough.
Since you're here, why don't you sing a song I wrote?
It's amazing!
Finalists, you will get your own original song!
Song of you
Let's post it, everyone!
And then I will send you a little.
Actually, I was really anxious until I entered the studio.
When everyone sang it, I thought, "Wow, it's not good at all, what should I do?"
But when everyone first sang it, it was almost done.
They practiced very hard.
I also felt that the members liked this song.
When I heard it, I often thought, "It's not an idol song."
I've never sung a song like this before, so I was scared at first if we could complete it ourselves.
I thought the lyrics would suit us very well.
I'm looking forward to performing it because I can sing with a lot of emotion.
Let's match the timing of the breath.
It suits you better.
Isn't it good? Isn't it a proper singer's group?
I think everyone will think, "You can sing."
If you make me think, "Oh, this is how you sang."
It's already your win.
I want each word to reach the fans and say, "This song is going to start."
I wanted the fans to feel like something was coming up.
I wanted it to be a song that made me feel like I was being pushed up.
I'd like you to focus and listen carefully.
Before I went to the singing competition,
There are many parts that I can sympathize with my feelings.
I hope I can enjoy it and be myself in the actual performance.
I'm not a favorite member of the akb group.
I think you can enjoy it because you think you're coming to a singer's unit live.
Actually, this song is...
You're singing about them and you're cheering for them.
It's also your song.
So I hope you can feel it a lot.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for watching.
The unstoppable beating of my heart
was drawing me to a faraway place.
The TV is turned off.
Suddenly, it's showtime.
We gather at the center stage.
Our smiles are bursting.
Memories of my childhood.
My love story I long for.
Our encounter is unforgettable.
This phrase is for you.
This melody is for me.
If we overlap, harmony
I'm drawing my feelings
I see, I'm sure I wanted to sing
It's dazzling and I want to get closer
I reached out my hands
The song of the beginning will always
Resound in my heart
Unending feelings anywhere
Our own future
I pour in and respond right
Finally the chance comes
Head for the center stage
I pour out my heart
A situation I can't do much about
A reaction I'm scared of
I can't go back anymore
I'm the protagonist
I'll say it over and over again
To where the light shines
Now, start running
I'm sure you wanted to laugh like this
Because emotions pile up and overflow
So that the song of the beginning
Will always echo in my heart
Unstoppable feelings, anywhere
Our own future
No matter how much you reach out and pursue it
There are things you can't reach with your own hands
But why can't you give up?
Shout it out now from the bottom of your heart
I hope the song of the beginning will reach the world forever
The never-ending days will never end
I won't let go of our hands anymore
It's our own story
The song of the beginning
Thank you very much.
The song of the beginning, composed only for us, how did you like it?
Yes, Yura-chan, how did you like it?
When I listened to this song, before I became a singer, I used to watch it at home on TV, and now that I can sing it, I think it's amazing.
Besides that, I think it's a song that conveys the feelings of the fans who support us.
Until today's performance, I practiced a lot with eight seniors and learned a lot from them.
But I think I was able to perform like this and did my best. Thank you very much.
Yes.
But everyone, how did you feel when you first heard this song?
It's really about us.
Kroffahan wrote it for us.
Cassie's emotional input was amazing.
That's right, really.
I think it's a very difficult song.
I also thought so.
You practiced a lot in rehearsal, didn't you?
Yes.
That's why I was able to perform on stage like this today.
I was very nervous, but I think it was a sense of accomplishment.
I think it was the most pleasant.
That's right.
The costumes we're wearing now were also made for this song.
Thank you very much.
New costumes.
Very cute.
Yes, we received it. Thank you very much.
And the songwriter and composer of this song, Kurosawa- san of Gosperars, is here with us today!
Thank you very much!
She's here!
Kurosawa-san!
You're so cool!
Kurosawa-san, how was it?
As I thought, I'm less nervous when I'm singing.
I'm really nervous when I'm singing my own song.
I thought it would be better if I sang it.
I want to hear it!
It was wonderful.
When I wrote this song,
I didn't want to write a song for an AKB group,
but for a unit of nine singers.
As you saw in today's finalist live show,
I wasn't wrong.
Watching the finalist live show,
I realized that nine singers are here.
Everyone watching,
it's hard to sing well.
It doesn't work right away.
No matter what you do, you practice over and over again,
you face yourself,
you get depressed and say you can't do it,
but you get excited and do it over and over again.
They've been doing this for a while
and won this finalist live show.
When I first said I would write a song,
I had already decided that I would write a story about you.
The reason you are singing your own stories is because your own stories have just begun.
So, all of you who have just listened to "The Song of Beginning", please join in and support them more and more.
Thank you for that wonderful song.
Thank you very much.
I'm in awe of you.
You are so cool.
I'm in awe of you.
Thank you very much, Kurosawa-san.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much, Kurosawa-san.
Thank you very much.
Now, I have an announcement to make.
"The Song of Beginning", which was performed for the first time today, will be released by KING RECORD on June 30th!
Wow!
Amazing!
The nine of us will be in charge of it.
I'm so happy!
Thank you very much.
As for the details, as soon as it is decided, we will post the information on KING RECORD's homepage, so please wait for a while!
Thank you very much!
Please enjoy it!
Thank you very much!
Now, I would like to ask each of you about your impressions of today.
First of all, Suzuran-san, please go ahead.
Can I go first?
No, you can't.
Thank you very much!
Please go ahead.
I'm Yamauchi Suzuran.
Thank you very much for coming today!
Wow, Kurosawa-san's words really touched me and made me want to cry.
I've been in this group for 12 years.
I'm not laughing! I'm trying my best!
Um, thank you very much.
I've been thinking about this for 12 years.
AKB is a group that's always trying new things.
Like Iketa-chan here.
From this singing event...
I'm about to cry.
There's a lot of places you can go and seize opportunities for yourself in this group.
So I really love this AKB group that's always trying new things!
Thank you very much.
Sometimes I want to talk about serious things like this.
Like...
Even though I'm the oldest here, I want you all to support me.
Thank you very much!
Kurosawa-sensei! Thank you very much!
Because of you guys, I was able to sing with confidence.
Even though I'm the oldest here, I'm really sorry!
But it's not about being the oldest or the youngest.
You guys are yourselves.
You're a part of this group.
You guys are standing on this stage thinking, "I'm going to sell out!"
Thank you for finding us in such a big group like this!
Thank you very much!
And lastly, I have something I want to do with you all, is it okay?
I think I can drink delicious beer today!
Cheers!
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
Do you always do that before you sing?
My heart was beating so fast!
Did you always do that before you drink beer?
Yes, I did!
Beer is not good for your throat!
We'll drink delicious beer today!
Thank you!
Yano-chan, please say a few words!
Hi, I'm Yano Hanaka of stu48!
Once again, thank you very much for today!
Not only today, but also for today's rehearsal and for us to stand here today means that we've made it to the finals and we've won a chance to stand here today.
But, really, through this project, I think that I like singing as much as I can sing.
I really like the band and the members who are here today.
I like singing and I love this event.
That's good.
You like events, right?
But now, we can't meet our fans due to the current situation and we can't get excited.
But I think we were able to prove that singing has a power to cheer people up.
I know you are going through hard times and things may not work out for you.
But I hope you listen to our songs and cheer up.
I think it would make me happier if we could sing those songs.
I hope you listen to the songs we performed today and keep supporting us.
I don't know how to put it into words, but it's how I feel right now.
I had a lot of fun today. Thank you!
Next, Mimura-chan, please.
I'm Mimura Hino of ngt48. Thank you for coming today!
I joined this project called "Singer Power No. 1 Decision Line" about three years ago.
I joined it for the first, second and third time and we've been working together for a while now.
While I'm active as ngt48, this "Singer Power No. 1 Decision Line" event has been my driving force and my number one goal.
Thanks to this project, I feel like I'm growing and doing my best next year as well.
Three years ago, I was a newbie researcher.
This year, Yura Ikeda is joining us as one of our juniors.
Last year, I was a newbie researcher and I didn't know much about it.
But now, one year later, I feel like I've grown a lot.
Right now, I can't really do a lot of activities.
I don't have any experience with TV broadcasts or live performances.
But only when I'm on stage can I feel like I'm an idol or an artist.
I'm really grateful for this project.
I'm really grateful.
This project allows me to be an idol, an artist and a singer.
While I'm standing here today, I feel like if there's another chance like this, I want to be a finalist again.
If there's another chance like this next year, I want to be able to stand on this stage and grow even more.
From now on as well, I hope you'll continue to watch and support this wonderful event called "Singer Power No. 1 Final".
Thank you so much for today!
Next, Nao-san, if you please.
Yes.
Um, this time... Ah, I'm Furuhata Nao. Thank you so much!
I'm sorry.
Um, this time, I was happy to sing with members who can't sing together.
I was also happy to get to know each and every one of their personalities.
Like Honoka-chan, she said "I like you, Nao-san!"
But in interviews, she said "I like Kano-san!"
But I like Suzuran-san, too!
I learned that she's a bad girl!
No, it's true!
Everyone is amazing! They're so charming!
Everyone likes you, don't they?
Look!
No, no, no!
You're so good!
That's what I like about you!
You're so charming!
You're good!
Thank you.
I learned that about you.
Yes, I like you, Nao-san, too!
I like you, too!
Yes, "too", right?
"Too"!
"Too", thank you!
I like you, too!
Like Yura-chan, she said "I like you, Haki-dako!"
She said things like "I like you, Haki-dako!"
I learned about each and every one of their personalities.
It's been a while since I've been around you all,
so I was happy and it was a valuable time for me.
And I was happy to have the opportunity to sing with you all.
I had a great time with you all and I was really happy!
Thank you very much!
Next, Akiyo-san, please!
Yes! I'm HKT48's Akiyo Shuka!
Thank you for today!
Thank you!
It's been a while since we've gathered in a group of 48 and had a concert like this,
so I was really happy to stand with all of you finalists,
and I was happy to be able to perform with all of you, the best band members.
Through this project, I was able to face myself.
During the first final round, I sang HY's "366 Days",
but at that time, I thought I couldn't sing, and I lost confidence,
and I didn't want to perform again, or rather, I thought I couldn't perform again,
but through singing, I was able to face myself,
and I had a lot of fun in the process of being able to do things I couldn't do before.
Just like in the song "Closer" this time, I was able to think, "I see, I must have wanted to sing."
A lot of lyrics are linked together,
and I hope I can continue to deliver songs to you all in the future.
Thank you for today!
Next up is Yura-chan!
Yes, I'm Ikeda Yura! Thank you for today!
Yes.
Before I joined STU, I had always wanted to participate in this competition,
and when I joined STU and heard that it was my third time participating,
I really wanted to participate in the finalist live.
And now that I'm standing on this stage like this, it doesn't feel like a normal thing.
It doesn't feel like a normal thing, so I'm very grateful for that. Thank you very much.
Out of the nine of us, I'm the oldest and the newest.
But there are so many amazing people around me.
I was worried about what people would think of me.
But you were so kind.
You were so kind.
I'm glad.
Were there any people you were afraid of?
No, there weren't.
It's not a normal thing for me to be singing this song for the third time.
It's all thanks to the collaboration of so many people.
Today's finalist live is coming to an end.
But I hope I can continue singing this song and deliver it to you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kana Nojima. Thank you very much for today.
Thank you very much.
To be honest with you, I can now say that I'm good at singing.
Thanks to this project, I was able to sing because I'm an idol.
There are many people in the world who are better at singing than me.
I'm very happy to be able to play in a live band and sing in front of so many people and sing my own song.
I thought it wasn't normal.
Until now, I couldn't say I was good at singing because I hated it and I didn't like it.
But now, I'm singing in front of hundreds of people and I'm proud of myself.
I love myself now.
Thank you very much for this project.
And me and Yura-chan.
And next, a new star will come out.
AKB48 singer-songwriter live final round will be like a tornado.
I want everyone to fly more and more on this project, here and on this stage.
I want to be active in various places like TV, live, and in various places.
My dream now is to be able to be transparent.
I want to continue singing in the future.
Thank you very much for today.
Next, Nana-san, please.
Yes, I'm Nana Okada. Thank you very much for today.
That's right, I've already done all three finalist lives, but I'm happy to sing my favorite song and I'm happy that you come and listen to it.
I'm really happy to be able to stand on stage with all the members of the group, so I'm always standing on stage thinking, "Oh, it's a good stage."
I think it's really cool for people who are working hard not only in singing but also in something else.
This time, I saw these nine people, eight members other than me, and I thought, "Oh, all the members are wonderful."
The staff who support me and the band members who work really hard have never been so blessed.
It's hard to be in the final, but I don't like being ranked, but I found the correct answer in myself that live is fun.
I hope you will continue to sing fun songs and I hope you will be happy.
Thank you very much!
Finally, Emil-chan, please.
Yes, I'm Yamasaki Emil. Thank you very much for today!
I've been participating in this finalist live three times in a row, and I've grown up so much.
I'm really grateful for this project.
Until I thought about participating in this project and until you found me, you said I was good at singing.
I've never thought I was good at singing, and I didn't know my strengths at all.
But I was able to participate in this singer's power No. 1 final, receive 10th place, and be chosen as a finalist.
You found one of my strengths, and I was able to make a lot of use of my activities on nmv48.
I got a lot of work, and I'm really grateful for it.
And this year, I really love this finalist live, and I was able to sing with my wonderful friends who love music like this, and if this project didn't exist, I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to meet you all at this venue.
And I'm really grateful for all the wonderful staff members and band members who play wonderful instruments for me.
I thought it was a really wonderful project.
And I was also able to receive a song this time, and it's a song for nine people, so I'm not really a candidate member, and I'm really grateful for this wonderful opportunity to meet so many people like this.
Thank you very much.
Then, the next song is really the last song.
The last song is "Yura-chan", please.
Yes, I think this song is the last song of the finalist live.
Then, please listen to it.
I was thinking about you again.
Looking across the mat
If I don't do something, before I know it
I get lost in the same scenery
You know it can't be helped.
I'm quietly looking at myself like that
The days get shorter when it's January
Just thinking "I want to meet you"
The sun rises and sets
If you sigh, your luck will run away
Someone once told me
This pain that piles up in my heart, I can't put it into words
I was thinking about you again I was thinking about you again
I'm sure everyone will be amazed
If I can, I'm already
I want to forget even just a little bit
Anything other than love or love that you can be obsessed with
I need to find at least one thing.
Loneliness follows me
pale eastern sky
Tears flowing from the corners of my eyes
I wonder if it will disappear someday
I don't think about you anymore
I know it's probably impossible
That won't happen, I don't wish it so.
I can't get it out of my head
I was thinking about you again
While looking out the window
If I don't do something, before I know it
I get lost in the same scenery
You know it can't be helped
I'm quietly looking at myself like that
And here is a band member who played a wonderful performance for us!
Bass - Oni no Teppei
Keyboard, Shirai Akito-san!
Chorus, Aihara Mikito!
And bandmaster and keyboard, Sato Yuunai-san!
Everyone, please give her a big round of applause!
Finally, let's say goodbye as a group!
Thank you...
...very much!
My fun is being updated more and more, and the difficulty is also improving.
I'm glad that ILA, who joined and joined me after seeing my first finalist live, is in first place and is building this stage again.
I think AKB's history is amazing.
I was very happy that I was able to appear in the finalist live that Nana-san, who was actually watching me at home on TV, was in.
I was happy and had fun. I love you, children.
I was very happy that I was able to sing a song that I could accept with my voice properly without choking up.
I want to praise myself for this live.
There are more people who really like singing than people who are good at singing or bad at it.
In that sense, I felt again that it was the nine of us who worked hard and stood up and took chances to appear in this finalist live.
And this person also looked relieved.
It was the best. I'm relieved.
It's a hundred times easier for me to sing. It's not my fault even if I miss it sometimes.
I was nervous.
But it was wonderful.
What did you like the most about AKB's live?
I liked it.
I was so nervous that I was about to cry.
Okay, let's stop here! Let's stop here! Let's stop here!
Why did you make a song like this while I was gone?!
"Thank you for your hard work!" "Thank you for your hard work!"
I did a live performance that exceeded the image of AKB that I had in my mind.
It really felt like a group of singers.
The song I made isn't a song that's easy to sing at all.
I think it's a song that's harder to sing.
But they raised it to its best condition and performed it for me.
I'm really happy about it.
I'm like, 'Yay!'
I'm really glad about it.
I'm glad I didn't end up alone.
Thank you!
The song 'Hajime no Uta' is a song we worked hard on and grasped ourselves.
So...
I really feel that special feeling.
It's not like 'idols can sing surprisingly well' or anything like that,
but as artists, we want people to see us,
and on the contrary, when you hear this song for the first time and wonder who's singing it,
and you think, 'oh, it's a girl called STU,' or 'oh, it's another group,'
or you want to see a girl from STU and become a fan of STU and come to our concert,'
I want you to know about STU from this song,
so, you know, you can watch it on a TV show,
or listen to it on the radio,
and I hope you'll do your best and push for it.
It's a song full of things we think about and want to tell you every day,
so I hope it reaches you,
and I hope you'll like us because of this song.
"Hajimari no Uta" is a song that I think will appeal to many people,
and I think it's a song that will cheer you up when you listen to it.
I think it's a song that will make you think, "music is wonderful,"
so please listen to it a lot!
The real beginning starts here.
In April, recording was carried out for the release of the single.
Well, this time,
I want to aim for a sound that is AKB but not AKB,
so I think it will take a little longer than usual recording and overdubbing and singing,
but I think it will be a fun experience, so let's enjoy it!
Let's get started!
The song of the beginning is running now forever.
It's different from our usual recording.
We don't do it alone.
Four of us do it.
We usually sing a song with 16 people.
So we don't do it one by one.
We usually record it and finish it quickly.
But this time, we recorded it again and again until our best came out.
And we got instructions to do it more accurately.
Each of these nine people is an artist.
Kurosawa faced the members head-on and asked for high quality.
I want you to sing with "sa" more.
"mo" is too small.
Don't say "memo" anymore.
If you don't say it all the time, I think you can sing it more comfortably.
Don't worry about this song.
Let's make it the best song.
Let's deliver it to many people.
With nine voices and hearts.
The recording continued without any compromise.
And...
Thank you very much!
I hope today will be a good memory for you.
As I said before, what I'm pointing out today is not that I want to sing because I can't do it.
It's just that I like this song and this way of singing, so I can sing like this, right?
I don't think anyone will guess the name of the group by listening to this story.
Mr. Kurosawa, who has been at the top of the music scene for more than 25 years.
Why did you pour your passion into them so far?
What is it? I'm doing my best, but I feel like it's not going very well. I thought it was very nostalgic.
Until we made our debut... I think everyone thinks they're the best singers in the world until they make their debut.
And after you make your debut, you know the reality, right?
And there are people who know the reality and get rid of it and become useless.
And I think there are people who are eager to do their best and sing well.
But the people who come out of AKB's singing ability are people who have a great passion for singing and say, "No, I want to get better at singing."
I think we need to support those people.
If everyone's skills are updated properly every year and there are more songs to sing and there are more ways to show off, I want to cheer for you.
The beating of my heart was drawing me to a faraway place.
The showtime suddenly begins The showtime suddenly begins
The center stage gathers and there's bursting smile
The memories of my childhood, love stories I long for, encounters I almost forget
This phrase is for you, this melody is for me
They overlap, I draw out my feelings
I see, I'm sure I wanted to sing it
It was so dazzling and I wanted to time it out that I reached out both of my hands
So that the song of the beginning will resound in my heart forever
The never-ending light will always be our only future
The spotlight pours in and the next chance comes
He heads for the center stage, it's big and dark.
The situation is too dramatic, the reaction is too scary, I can't go back anymore
The protagonist is me, I repeat and let you hear it, towards the shining light, now start running
I'm sure I wanted to laugh at a sound like this, because emotions pile up and overflow
So that the song of the beginning will always resonate in my heart
Our own future watashitachi dake no mirai Our own future
No matter how much I reach out and try to chase it out
There is something in this hand that cannot be reached.
But why can't I give up?
So that the song of the beginning will reach everywhere in the world forever
The never-ending days will never end
It's our own, we won't talk about it anymore
It's our own story watashitachi dake no story It's our own story
Resound, song of the beginning hibike hajimari no uta Resound, song of the beginning
A new story that shines like a diamond begins with this song A new story that shines like a diamond begins with this song A new story that shines like a diamond begins with this song This song will begin with a new story that shines like a diamond
