AISubs v3.5
Let's begin the 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No.1 Deciding Round.
Broadcasted live from TBS Key Studios.
Once again, I'm your host, Yusuke Waga. Thank you for joining us!
Thank you for having me.
And...
Yes, I'm your host as well. I'm TBS announcer, Maine Sasaki. Thank you for joining us.
Thank you for having me.
Now, for the fourth time in a row, we'll have a battle to decide who has the most charming singing voice in the AKB48 group.
There are 92 candidates this time.
Out of them, 20 will advance to the finals.
The qualifying round will be held today and tomorrow for two days.
Mr. Waga, please tell us about this fourth time.
Well, first of all, Ms. Ikeda.
Will it be a two-time win?
Ms. Ikeda, catch it!
It's that one, right?
Yes.
Ms. Ikeda, who won all competitions and suddenly appeared like a comet, has already become a popular singer.
Will this be a two-time win?
Also, Ms. Akiyoshi and Ms. Suzuran aren't in it, right?
Also, Ms. Nona Diamonds, right?
What are you going to do about it?
It might be a pretty chaotic competition.
Also, Ms. Nojima Kano isn't in it, either.
In that case, Ms. Yui Murayama will make her appearance.
Well, it's only day two, but will you be able to capture her tomorrow?
What is it? 97 days?
Ah, that's right. Thank you very much.
If you pull it back a little, Mr. Yudai will properly avoid it.
Thank you very much.
Yes, with that said...
Well then, let's introduce the judges who will be in charge of judging this time!
First of all, Momoiro Clover and Little Green Monster will compose the song.
In addition, Gosperars' Kaoru Kurosawa and Nona Diamonds' "Hajimari no Uta" will be co-composed by composer and music producer Yuki Ohta.
Thank you for your hard work!
It's my first time as a judge, and it's a live broadcast, so I'm pretty nervous.
I think the members are performing with more tension, so I will do my best to judge them.
Thank you for your hard work!
Next, Yumi Matsutoya and Kinki Kids will tour and sing the chorus.
In addition, Ami, a singer-songwriter who teaches singing to Nogizaka46 and Fischers, will be our guest.
Thank you for your hard work!
I've heard that it's a battle to determine a pure singing ability.
I hope I can find a part of her that I like and a part of her that I like.
Thank you for your hard work!
Finally, Yudai Sato, a keyboardist who has been in charge of qualifying judging since the first tournament and bandmaster at the final tournament and finalist live.
Thank you for your hard work!
This is my fourth time.
Are you the most nervous?
Even though it's your fourth time.
I do get nervous sometimes.
The atmosphere.
Every year, new dramas are born.
I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen this year.
Thank you for having us.
Now, Sasaki Hana will give you the rules for this tournament.
From now on, judges will be able to watch and judge each group's virtual VTR.
Today's live broadcast has 48 members of SKE48, NMB48, NGT48 and STU48.
Tomorrow's live broadcast will have 44 members of AKB48 and HKT48.
Judges will be able to rate each group with a total of 300 points out of 100 points out of 100 points.
Based on this rating, today's live broadcast will have 20 members of SKE48 and tomorrow's live broadcast will also have 20 members of AKB48.
After two days of preliminary judging, the final tournament will be held at Maihama Amphitheatre on January 12th for 15 members of SKE48.
The rest of the five members will consult with the judges as a panel of judges and decide.
For the members of SKE48 who remained in the best eight in the final tournament this year, a full band finalist live will be held.
The judging will begin soon. Mr. Ota, do you have any points for judging?
Well, I think there are many ways to sing well, but I myself am a composer, so I hope I can pay attention to how I interpret and express the song in my own way.
Thank you. How about you, Ms. Sawami?
I hope I can see it from the perspective of a singer like me.
As I said earlier, I hope you can judge me based on my spirit and mentality.
How about you, Mr. Yudai?
Well, it's not much in common with what you two said, but what I've seen so far is...
There are people who watch it every year, but I'd like to reset it and try again this time with a new feeling.
Yes, thank you. Well, it may be difficult for you for the fourth time, but thank you for your generous judgment.
Now, let's move on to the under-judgment. First of all, it will be the judging of ngt48 eleven people.
Viewers, please leave your impressions and opinions of the live broadcast with the hashtag #akb48 singer power No. 1 decision line and tweets.
Thank you. Now, let's move on to the under- judgment of ngt48. Please.
Yes, I'm Meina Nishigata of ngt48. Nice to meet you.
I'm Meina Nishigata.
Get in the spring-colored train and take me to your ears.
I'll sneak up on your cigarette-smelling shirt.
I don't know why, but we've known each other for half a year.
But you don't hold my hand.
I will follow you. I want to follow you.
I will follow you. I'm a little weak-minded, but you're a wonderful person.
A red sweet pistachio bloomed in my heart.
I will follow you more than anyone else I've met so far.
I like the way you live.
I can't go home like this.
A red sweet pistachio bloomed in my heart.
Thank you very much.
I'm Nanako Nishimura of NGT48. Nice to meet you.
The hill road continues in the clear sky.
The back of me becomes smaller.
Without being able to find gentle words,
I continued to wave my cold hand.
Someday we will all set off
and walk our own paths.
Don't give up on your dream.
I like your passionate eyes.
Don't lose and don't regret.
Shine like you do.
Don't give up on your dream.
I believe you are far away.
Thank you very much!
I'm NGT48's Yamada Noe.
Thank you for having me!
We've always been together, walking down the same path.
We part ways and walk our own paths.
Holding my heart full of loneliness,
I look up at the sky and feel like I'm about to cry,
and I think of you.
Even on nights without you,
I don't feel like crying anymore.
Because you're doing your best,
and because you're getting stronger.
I'm sure you can see it too,
this beautiful crescent moon.
Because we're connected,
and because we love each other.
I reach out for the crescent moon.
My feelings reach you.
Thank you very much!
I'm NGT48's Ando Chikana.
Nice to meet you!
Right now, I look up at the southern star and vow
No matter what happens, I'll walk forward with a smile on my face
While shedding tears of sadness
I live only to offer wishes to the stars and prayers to the moon
That's how I've lived my life
But now, my love for you is my own
Right now, my love for you is my own
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Ogoe Haruka.
Thank you for having me!
I push up the sky and reach out my hand for you in May.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you buds and garden flowers.
I hope your faintly colored and cute endless dream will come to an end.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Someday, we'll join hands and hope that endless waves will stop for good.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much!
I'm Yuu Tominaga of ngt48. Thank you for your support!
Maybe you don't have to be me
We were both too relaxed
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
In a room where there's only the two of us
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 hate it all
Days with you like a dry flower
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
Makes me mad
Red and blue are in my heart
I will always call your name
I love you and I miss you again
Your voice and your face
Your clumsy behavior
Everything, everything
I hate you
I will give you flowers that haven't withered yet
Always, always, always, always
Hold me in your arms
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Furusawa Mano. Nice to meet you.
A whirlpool of anxiety hidden in your eyes
Which path should you take in front of you?
The days you were swept away by others
Say goodbye to yourself
I believe myself
By believing in myself, I feel like everything will start
Oh, I believe myself
The warm light is not wrong
Let's walk
I believe myself
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Furutate Aoi. Nice to meet you!
Your story, which is about to begin, will go on for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
Inside your dazzling smile, I hear a sad sound.
When we're together and when we have free time, you're so lovely.
When we hold hands, we feel warm. When we hate each other, we feel lonely.
Each and every one of them will lead you to the future.
Your story, which is about to begin, will go on for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Mashimo Kaho. Nice to meet you!
How are you?
Did you meet someone important?
Will your dream come true someday?
At the end of this road
Do you remember?
The swaying wheat steps
To that sunset, the horizon
I kept searching for the sky that continues
While struggling to draw tomorrow
Now into my dream
I gently, gently embrace
The shapeless radiance
And move forward
Thank you very much!
I'm Mimura Hino of NGT48.
Nice to meet you!
You know, before I realized it, love has different shapes.
If it had already settled in my heart,
I'm sure I'd know more about you than I do today.
If it hadn't been for you, I'm sure I'd have created a gap.
You know, I love you.
Every time you spread in my heart,
love overflows and tears fall.
You know, I love you.
Every time you spread in my heart,
love overflows and tears fall.
Among all the stars in the sky,
you're the only one in my heart.
You know, you know, I've always loved you.
I love you.
Ah, thank you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Hinata Moraishi of ngt48.
Nice to meet you.
I always wanted to be with you.
I always wanted to smile next to you.
Even though the seasons change again,
my heart stays still.
On the right side of you,
I thought I got used to it a little.
But why do I cry so much?
If my feelings don't work anymore,
I'll just forget you.
I want you.
Even now,
I remember you.
Even the scenery is once again.
Ah, I woke up from a dream.
A black jacket and my back
I can't see anyone anymore.
Like the stars return to the forest.
Even small gestures that disappear naturally.
Even me, who can only see you forever.
Thank you very much.
So far, we have interviewed 11 singers of "GT48".
Mr. Ota, how was it?
Well, if you continue to look at 11 people, you can clearly see their individuality and characteristics.
As for me, Mr. Mimura seemed to be caught by my fingers.
Also, I think the falsetto has evolved a lot and the rhythm is good.
However, the pitch of "corn bread" was a little weak, so I felt it was a little unfortunate.
Thank you very much.
Ms. Ami, how was it?
Well...
I'll just look at it.
I'm in a hurry to write it and I can't read it anymore.
I was very curious about Mr. Yamada's voice.
What do you think?
That's Ms. Ami's opinion.
It's amazing.
It's like...
How do you say it?
It's like they've incorporated the song into their bodies and digested it and released it.
Did you digest it and release it?
I heard it digested and released it.
I was a little surprised.
Oh...
Everyone has different personalities.
It's interesting.
Is there anyone else you're curious about?
Someone I'm curious about...
Oh!
Furutate-san?
Yes, yes.
She's really cute.
She's cute, but her pitch is really good.
And even though she has a voice that pops out like "ping!",
sometimes she can make it pop out even in mixed voices.
That's not just about her being cute.
Thank you very much.
Now, Yudai-san, what do you think?
When I first saw her as a whole group,
I felt that she was a singer who was able to deliver her words properly.
I guess you could say she sings with care.
To be honest, I felt good listening to all of them.
I felt like my feelings for her could be conveyed.
Someone I'm curious about is Ando Chikana-san.
Her voice is very clear and honest.
She hasn't been able to make a loud sound yet.
But when she says "bang!", it sounds like it's coming out.
If she studied a little more and tried various singing styles,
I thought she might be able to convey her feelings better.
I really like her voice.
Thank you very much.
Goga-san, what did you think?
Speaking of Ando Chikana-san...
I've been watching her.
Before she sang, she gave a salute to the pianist.
I like how she grew up.
She has a sense of transparency.
Also, Ogoe-san's speech is wonderful.
Every word she says is beautiful.
Her nose swimsuit...
I thought she had a beautiful singing voice.
She's performed it three times.
It's a shame.
Let's see how it goes for the fourth time.
Now, let's take a look at some comments from viewers on Twitter.
Here's the first comment.
I thought Mimura-san was amazing in last year's qualifier.
I can feel her expansion into space.
Ami-san, what did you think of Mimura-san?
I think she knows her own voice well.
She can sing it well.
She can sing it up high.
I like her voice when she sings while holding it down.
Thank you.
Let's move on to the next comment.
Here it is.
Hino-chan, as expected of you from the beginning. Good people know songs they can sing, that's why they're good.
That's a question for Mimura-san, isn't it, Yudai- san?
Is that so? You've been on both the fourth and third episodes of this show, Mimura-san.
He's been challenging himself with songs that are quite challenging, hasn't he?
I don't know if he's letting himself sing songs that are difficult for himself in the first place,
but I think there's a lot of technology involved in singing this song.
It's difficult, but he's challenging himself.
I think it's difficult.
But it was conveyed that he was expressing himself through his own filter.
Yes. Let's move on to the next comment. Here it is.
Why did you choose this song?
The reason why I chose this song is because my feelings for the NGT members often linked with lyrics.
It's been seven years since the group was formed, and although there are many members growing up these days,
I recently feel strongly that I want to support everyone's dreams.
I'm...
I'm the most emotional...
dot dot dot...
You can't finish talking at 140 o'clock, can you?
I'm overflowing with emotions.
This is Nishimura Nanako-chan's own tweet.
Mr. Ohta, how did you like it?
Well, his facial expressions are very rich and wonderful, and his straight voice and his low voice are also very rich and wonderful.
Yes, thank you.
If you tweet it, you may receive comments like this, so please tweet it for the members.
Now, I'd like to return to the singing screening.
The following is a singing screening of 10 members of ske48.
Here you go.
Thank you for watching.
I'm Yashino Kitagawa of ske48. Nice to meet you.
These feelings that I gathered until the last second, and the days that I accumulated
I won't betray you
The bright sunlight will turn into sun stains
I'm shining, I'm shining
I love your eyes as you chase your dreams straight.
I want to cherish being with you like that now.
Tears and smiles are proof of how desperate you are
I'm proud to live with you like that.
i will always be proud
Thank you very much!
I'm SKE48's Rika Tsuzuki.
Nice to meet you!
I've always wanted to talk to you.
I'm sure we don't match.
In a room where there's only the two of us,
you were the only one talking.
If we meet somewhere one day,
will you laugh at me for what happened today?
I can't tell you why,
but I don't want you to cry after you fall asleep.
Your voice, your face, your awkwardness,
I don't hate them all.
Just like a dried flower,
the days I spent with you will surely, surely, surely, surely,
fade away.
Red and blue are in my heart.
I call your name all the time.
The feeling of love smells again.
Your voice, your face, and your awkwardness,
I hate them all, all of them.
I'll give you flowers that haven't withered yet.
Always, always, always, always, hold them in your arms.
Thank you very much!
I'm SKE48's Nakasu Kamie.
Nice to meet you!
Look at your feet, this is the path you will walk.
Look ahead, that is your future.
Mother gave me a lot of kindness and love.
I repeated that time again and again, when I was still young and didn't know what it meant.
You held my hands and walked with me.
Sometimes I didn't like that kindness, and I couldn't be honest with you.
Look, look at your feet. This is the path you walk on.
Look ahead.
Thank you very much!
I'm SKE48's Okamoto Ayaka. Nice to meet you!
Push up the sky and reach out your hand for May.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear a swimsuit.
I'll give you a flower bud, a garden leaf and a swimsuit.
I hope your cute light blue dream will come to an end.
I hope you and your love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day bind me and my endless waves will properly stop.
I hope you and your love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48's Kanashima Miharu. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
That's what I decided.
This song in my pocket
I want you to listen to it.
I gently raised the volume
and checked it out.
Oh, goodbye days
Now I feel like I'm changing
from yesterday.
That's right.
I don't look good.
Because kindness is by my side.
La la la la la with you
I don't want to feel sad, but you come to me, don't you?
At that moment, with a smile, yeah "Hello, my friend"
I wish I could say it
When we hum the same song, stay by my side
I wish we could meet with kindness that's not cool
la la la goodbye days
Thank you very much!
I'm SKE48's Furuhata Nao. Nice to meet you!
In the passing of time, I met you.
It's strange, isn't it?
I didn't know the miracle I wished for would be so close to me.
I want to see you as I wish.
Only the time we can't meet is passing.
I slip through the door and remember it again.
You and that person are laughing together.
My beloved one, don't make me sad.
There are nights when I'm tired of crying and sleeping.
Don't look at the past and only look at me.
You're everything. You're everything.
Stronger than you think.
If it's a kind lie, I don't want it.
What I want is you.
I'm SKE48's Saito Makiko.
In the future you drew, I'm not there, and that era isn't there either.
The two of us, who still had a little bit of scars, were looking for a continuation of our dream.
Ah, I thought it would color as I wanted it to.
I couldn't find an answer.
Even so, this world continues to spin.
The summer you gave me, I won't forget that miracle.
Hiding those overflowing feelings in that evening,
So fine, so fine, so fine, I noticed it.
In the summer you were in, I couldn't put these feelings into words.
Why are our two hearts separating?
So fine, so fine, so fine, I can't reach you.
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48's Sato Kaho.
Nice to meet you.
My hair caught in my eyes and my fingers scattered about
My lonely back seems to be about to break
While making the unreliable sun bleed
I was staring at your smiling profile
Before I knew it, all of it came into my sight
Why did I notice the pain in my heart?
I'm looking for you
In the depths of my hidden eyes
So that no one can see you
The world I see has always been beautiful in the sky
A little star is left behind
Thank you very much.
I'm Miki Ito of ska48. Thank you for your support.
Look, look at where you're walking.
This is the path you will walk.
Look, look ahead of you.
That is your future.
My mother gave me a lot of kindness.
That time I repeated it again and again, I was still young and didn't know the meaning of it.
You walked with me, holding my hand like that.
Sometimes I didn't like that kindness, I couldn't be honest with you, mother.
Look, look at your feet, this is the path you will walk.
Look, look ahead, that is your future.
Thank you very much.
SKE48, I'm Kanon Sawada. Nice to meet you.
What do you want to do?
What is the meaning of life?
Even if ideal reality turns into one-click speed of light
I can't be Adam and Eve, who are far away from the arrival of earth
If I could gently touch and heal the wounds that followed me where I was born
Overflowing feelings of love illuminate you and become light
Even if I'm not there in the future you picture
Now I will gently hug you
Even if it's fate, I want to draw you closer and continue to shine
Even if it's a miracle, I believed I could make it happen
I believed
Thank you very much!
Now, ske48's 10 singing judges are over.
Ami-san, how was it?
Oh!
Not really.
But Furuhata-san was good.
She sang well until 5th place without losing focus,
so she didn't make listeners feel cold.
I felt like I was taken into the song.
The pitch was also very good.
The way you used the microphone was also good.
I didn't know you could be such a good judge.
I tried, but...
Thank you.
Yudai-san.
Yes.
Furuhata-san is good.
She's good, isn't she?
The way you use the microphone changes depending on how you bring it closer.
You have to think about it and bring it out.
By doing that, it becomes three-dimensional.
You create a sense of distance and space.
I wanted to play the piano.
The band wants to do it.
I have the image of a queen bee,
so I thought you had a lot of different expressions.
Thank you.
Ohta-san.
Yes.
Furuhata-san is good at using the microphone, too.
And the researcher, Miki-san.
I really like her.
She's straightforward and pure.
Her vocabulary is very polite.
She also has a good voice.
She has a great voice for her songs.
She was also very good at voting.
Thank you.
How was it for you, Gaga-san?
It was my first time in Murayama Yuiri-chan's studio.
I thought it would be Saito Makiko-san's first day.
How was it for you?
It was unexpected.
I thought she would be more aggressive.
But she was calm.
How was it for you?
She was calm and had a lot of expressions.
This is your fourth time in Murayama Yuri-chan's studio.
Why didn't you show up until now?
That's what I thought.
Thank you.
Let's see some comments from viewers on Twitter.
Are you going to tweet?
Here is the first question.
I like Suzuki-san's songs from a long time ago.
I think she should be evaluated more.
This is also a full-length work.
It's quite old.
How was it for you, Ami-san?
I thought it was interesting.
There are parts that shake and are unstable.
But when it exceeds a certain level, it comes out and you can hear it.
I thought it would be interesting if you trained it.
Thank you.
Let's move on to the next comment.
Here it is.
The impact of Hino-chan and Nao-san's challenge so far is amazing.
Yes, yes, yes.
Well, Mr. Furuwata.
"everything".
Yes, well...
All three of you are Mr. Furuwata.
Mr. Furuwata, is there anything like comparing with the same song?
That's right. Well, depending on how you sing it, the way you express it will change.
Even if it's the same song, you can hear it in a completely different song, right?
Yes, you're right about that.
Thank you very much.
Let's move on.
As expected of Kaho Sato. The song and the official song both have a sense of stability.
Mr. Sato Kaho.
Yes, that's right.
Well, Mr. Yudai.
How was it, Kaho Sato?
Of course, it has an impression of appearance, but...
You sang it carefully.
I felt like it was a little wasteful in the second half, but...
How can I say it?
I could hear Japanese.
I felt like that.
I wanted to listen to more songs like this.
Yes, thank you very much.
Now, let's go back to the singer evaluation.
Next up is the singer evaluation of 8 members of nmb48.
Please proceed.
I'm katou yuka of nmb48. Nice to meet you.
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
In a room where there's only the two of us
You were the only one talking
If we ever meet again somewhere
Will you smile for me today?
I can't tell you why
But I don't like crying after you sleep
Your eyes, your face, your awkwardness
I don't like it all
Like a dry flower
The days I spent with you
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
They fade away
Red and blue are in my heart
I always call your name
I like you and I smell you again
Your voice, your face, your awkwardness
All of it, all of it, I hate you
I'll dye your flowers that haven't withered yet
All of it, all of it, all of it, I want you to hold me
Thank you very much!
I'm Manabe Anji of nmv48. Nice to meet you!
The voice of the stars fading into the night sky,
and the scarlet moon shining in the dawn.
Why does the sea we swam together
change color in an instant?
I don't want to fall asleep like this.
I still want to feel you.
If you feel lonely,
and you can't even stay by my side,
but you know of the pain of losing,
you can grasp other love.
That's what I pray for.
When you want to cry or when you're in pain,
remember me and I'll be fine.
A place where we can be together, on a distant summer day.
Warmth, joy of life,
All of my heart.
Thank you very much!
I'm Yamasaki Amiru of nmb48. Nice to meet you!

La la la la goodbye day
I'm Orisaka Koharu of NMB48. Nice to meet you!
Drunk shadows lined up on the sidewalk
Walking with you in the twilight
Holding hands forever and ever
If I could be by your side, I'd cry
The wind got colder and I smelled winter
I'm getting closer to you in this city
The season is coming, the first snow flower of this year
We're looking at it together and happiness is overflowing
I'm not being sweet or weak, I just want to be with you forever
I honestly think so
The pure white snow flowers falling in this city
I'm drawing memories in our hearts
With you forever and ever
Thank you very much.
I'm Kuroda Fuwa of NMB48. Nice to meet you!
Crossing the bridge and looking at the setting sun, you seemed to like it very much.
You said you wanted to live here in a beautiful place.
Shaking on the train, you came to this city to see me.
Even now, I can't forget those days and I'm still alive.
Even now, I still pray for you when I go to the shrine.
If one of my wishes comes true, I want to go back to those days.
The cityscape you said you liked is fading away today as well.
A wide sky and mountains in the distance, the city we walked in together.
A city where the sunset is beautiful.
Thank you very much!
I'm Satsuki Aika of NMB48. Nice to meet you!
I wonder what you, who is reading this letter, are doing.
I, who is fifteen years old, have a seed of worries that I can't tell anyone about.
If it's a letter for myself in the future, I'm sure I can open it honestly.
I, who is about to lose, about to cry, about to disappear,
Whose words should I believe and walk on?
My heart, which has only one, has been broken many times.
I'm living in pain now, I'm living now.
Thank you very much!
I'm Nnb48 Hayaka Ayuna.
Nice to meet you!
How are you?
Did you meet someone important?
Will your dream come true someday?
At the end of this road
Do you remember?
The swaying wheat leaves on that evening
I kept searching for a horizon-continuing sky
While struggling to picture tomorrow
Now, in my dream
I gently, gently embrace
The shapeless radiance
And move forward
Thank you very much!
Now, the singing evaluation of eight people of nmb48 has ended.
So, Mr. Yudai, how was it?
Yes, well, I was surprised at the average singing skills of everyone in nmb48.
First of all, Mr. Amizu seems to be watching her live performance.
I've been listening to her singing every year, and this year I was originally very good at singing,
but I felt like I saw a little lower part in the middle range, and a part in the middle where you can hear your heart.
So when I saw the performance today, I thought, "Oh, I came to see Amir's live performance."
No, you came to judge.
That's right, but I wanted to make it look like I was watching an artist perform live.
You went and saw it, didn't you?
Mr. Ohta, how was it?
That's right. There were quite a few researchers at NMB this time.
And each of them had their own personality and many of them were cool.
Mr. E. Xion had a very biotic voice and the chorus was very powerful and cool.
However, it may be because you are a researcher, but I thought it was a shame that your eyes weren't stable.
Eyes are good!
It's pretty important.
It's singer power, isn't it?
It's pretty important.
It's like where you're looking.
It may be a little explosive there.
That's right, it may be explosive.
Thank you very much.
Ms. Amir.
Yes, I'm curious about Mr. Amir.
From the beginning of the first line, the voice and expression of the song are drawn in.
And it says "mochiuta" here.
It's that feeling, isn't it?
I feel like I'm at a live show.
In the same way, Mr. E. Xion says "ume" too.
If that's the case, I can't sing it either.
Mr. E. Xion's singing style and fists were also very nice.
And when you say "I want it! I want to hear it here!" he'll let you hear it clearly.
The members of NMB were amazing.
There were many researchers who wanted to teach you how to sing.
I want to teach you.
Everyone is good.
Mr. Hayakawa sang with a rustle, but that means he didn't run away to the falsetto and sang it firmly, so it's a good impression.
I see.
I think there are many differences.
It's my first time too.
I felt good to sing a new song.
It says 7.5 in the material.
It's been 7.5 since Mariko Shinoda.
What does it mean?
It means it's the newest song.
Your singing voice is wonderful.
I want to know what kind of energy it is.
Let's look at Twitter.
Here is my first impression.
Yes, "eh, nfb, your level is too high, it's scary!"
That's true.
Ah, it's from Gohoney.
Ah, that's right, it's from Amiru.
It's from Yamase-chan and Gohoney.
Ah, it's from Amiru-chan.
I see, I didn't know about it, and you were also threatened by a researcher.
I think it was the second time? Was it the first time?
Ah, there's a researcher like a monster in nfb!
Amiru-chan became one, and now she's a regular member.
Yes.
That researcher was also wonderful.
Yes.
Yudai-san.
Yes.
Is there anyone you're interested in?
That researcher, Kuroda Fuwa-san.
Yes.
He sang "Watarase-bashi", and it reminded me of Moritaka-san.
I think her voice and the song's matching is very good.
It's very transparent.
It's a story that made me want to listen to more songs.
Also, Kato Yuka-san.
It's kind of mysterious, isn't it?
The sound pressure is all constant, and it goes like "bwaaah", and when you look at it with a waveform, it's like "is it like this?"
I think the sound pressure should be a little unique.
I think there are more songs that go well with it.
It's not like this song doesn't go well with it, but I think there are songs that go well with it.
When I sing this song, I feel like there are songs that go well with it.
I see.
Yes.
Thank you.
Yes.
Shall we listen to the next song?
Yes.
Next song!
"Wow, I'm embarrassed, how was it?" This is a tweet from Lee Si-on himself.
Lee Si-on's... Yes. "I'm embarrassed, how was it?"
This is... I don't know!
There's nothing you only know about Hiragana, right?
I don't think there's anything you only know about Hiragana.
I see.
How was it? It's really a mystery, isn't it?
But you were praised a lot!
Yes.
How was it for you, Ota-san?
Yes. As I said earlier, you were cool and your falsetto was perfect.
You were powerful and very good.
Yes.
Your English seems to be good.
What do you think?
Your English seems to be good.
Yes.
I think it's unfair.
You're definitely good.
Yes. Thank you.
Now, we'd like to return to the singer evaluation.
Today's last singer evaluation is STU48 with 19 members.
Please proceed.
I'm STU48's Chiho Ishida.
Thank you for your support.
On my way home, my breath gets cold The stars are just shaking I feel like I'll forget even the faint warmth I just felt
Now that I realized for the first time that I could love someone
I was the one who cried, the connected winter constellations
I want to stare at you as if I don't care if you disappear into this sky
i believe
Thank you very much!
I'm STU48 Imamura Mitsuki. Nice to meet you!
I want to say "see you soon"
I want to engrave many things with you
I don't want to forget
I want to say "see you soon"
I'm really glad that everything started with you
That's what I think from the bottom of my heart
I bit my lips and touched you with my fingers
I made sure of my kiss with you
But when it stopped raining and the stars fell
I got lost in my little room
Ah, I climbed up the tetrapod
Staring at the top of it
I'm going to kick it into space
Ah, when you kiss me on the cheek
Our time stops
I like it
Ah, boyfriend
Thank you very much!
I'm Mahina Taniguchi of Estée Haute. Nice to meet you!
These feelings I gathered up until the last second
The days that have piled up
Don't betray you
The dazzling sun
Is turning into a sunset
Illuminating a youthful time that will never come again
Illuminating
I'm chasing a straight dream
I love your eyes
Being with you like that
I want to cherish it
Tears and smiles
Are proof that I've become brave
Being with you like that
I'm proud of it
I'll always be proud of you
Thank you very much.
I'm STU48's Hyodo Aoi. Nice to meet you.
Even in this faraway city,
you give me dreams.
When white powder snow falls,
it reaches my heart, winter song.
As soon as I take a deep breath,
the light is about to disappear.
I live more firmly than the stars shining in the sky.
No matter how far apart we are.
You are always there for me.
Even on the same night, I believe
that a gentle breeze is blowing.
Toward the wide sky,
spread both hands high.
The white powder snow
reaches my heart.
Winter Song
No matter how far apart we are.
You are always there for me.
The white powder snow
reaches my heart.
Winter Song
Thank you very much.
I'm ST48's Minoushi and Lisa. Nice to meet you.
What do you want to do?
What did the media of life?
Ideal, reality, one click
Even if it changes with the speed of light
Farther than the outside of the earth
Adam and Eve are not used to it
If you could follow where you were born and gently touch that wound and heal it
Love will be the light that illuminates you with overflowing feelings
It's so painful
Even if I'm not there in the future you draw
I'll gently hold you now
Even if it's fate, I want to pull you closer and continue to shine
Even if it's a miracle, I want to believe you know it
I want to believe
Thank you very much!
I'm STU48's Morishita Maiha.
Thank you for having me!
Yuzuku yo, kaorasu kieteku kotomo no koe
Tooku tooku, kono sora no dokoka ni kimi wa irun darou
Natsu no owari ni futari de nukedashita
Kono kouen de mitsuketa ano seiza
Nandaka oboeteru, amakute mo kioku wo tadatte
I want to see the same happiness
The fireworks part opens with that scent
I want to go to you
I want to run out right now
It's pitch black and you can't see anything, it's okay to be scared
The countless starry skies are still here forever
I won't cry, because it was the beautiful sky I saw with you a long time ago.
Thank you very much!
I'm Yano Anoka from stu48.
Nice to meet you!
On the Way Home
On the way home, we joked around as we walked
For no reason at all, I made you angry
I wanted to see all kinds of faces of you
Your big eyes and your voice like you're about to cry
They still tighten up my heart
As we passed by each other, I started chasing you
I was looking for something that wouldn't change
I won't forget you from that day
I have feelings that transcend time
I want to see you right now
I've been looking for something that hasn't changed
I won't forget you from that day
I have feelings that transcend time
I want to see you right now
Thank you very much!
I'm Oki Yuka of stu48. Nice to meet you!
Take me to the sea in your white train
Because I'm close to your cigarette-smelling shirt
Even if it's been half a year since we first met
Even if it's you, I won't hold your hand
I will hold you
I want to follow you
I will hold you
I'm a little weak-minded, but you're a wonderful person
A red sweet pea bloomed in my heart
I like you more than anyone I've met today
I'll wait for you
I like the way you live
I can't go home like this
The day spring came to my heart was a red sweet pea
Thank you very much!
I'm Shinano Soraha of stu48.
Nice to meet you!
Lonely
Lonely, looking like I'm about to break down in front of my window
I walked aimlessly, sighing without knowing
I'm blind, looking like I'm about to break down
Something that holds my passion together
I kept looking for it
Why were my dreams so hard to see?
There's no place like home in the city
Love was spilling out of my body
As an adult rubs through the crowd, I reach out for an invitation
As my experience increases, I can't avoid it anymore
Even if I get lost, I'm proud of loving someone
I didn't seem like I could see you, but I felt like I could see you, and that's why I lived
I'm proud
Like a strawberry I can't grab because it seems like it'll reach you
Sweet and painful things
I thought about it all night
One by one are disappearing
I was stacking up lights in my house
There's no place in the city where I can sleep
Tears were spilling out of my body
Thank you very much!
I'm STU48's Nakamura Mai.
Nice to meet you!
[Nakamura Mai - STU48's Nakamura Mai]
I always wanted to be with you
I always wanted to smile by your side
Even though the seasons change again
My heart stays still
On the right side where you're not there
I thought I got used to you a little
But why do I cry so much?
If my feelings won't come true anymore
I just want the courage to forget you
Even now, I still remember
Your words
Even the scenery I saw over my shoulder
I dedicate it to you
The black jacket I wore when I woke up
The back of me is becoming invisible to someone else
So once again
Like the stars returning to the forest
Disappearing naturally
Even small gestures
I can only see you forever
Thank you very much!
STU48, I'm Yura Ikeda. Nice to meet you!
You push up the sky and reach out your hand for May.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you a bud, a garden leaf and a swimsuit.
Your cute light blue eyes.
I hope your endless dream will come to an end.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
My patience will one day bind me.
I hope your endless waves will stop properly.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much!
I'm Osaki Serika from stu48.
Nice to meet you!
The sunset we saw on the new bridge
You seemed to like it very much
It was beautiful there, wasn't it?
You said you wanted to live here
You came all the way to this city by train
I still can't forget those days
Even now, when I go to the yagmo shrine, I pray for you
If one of my wishes comes true, I want to go back to those days
The cityscape you said you liked will fade away today
The wide sky and distant mountains, the streets we walked together
The city with beautiful sunset
Thank you very much.
I'm Yuna Kawamata of stu48.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Yuna Kawamata of stu48.
It started with "good morning" from you
It's a casual summer morning, but
It's also happy
In a casual conversation
I get burned by your big words
Rainy days club activities are boring
Test study is bad
I'm the only one who knows
Before I go to bed, a long call that continues without meaning
I can't always cut it off, so I put it together
Since when?
The difference between you and me is getting bigger
Hey, my feelings always shake like that
Because I keep thinking about you all the time
I'm thinking about what I should do from now on
How about you?
I want you to tell me
To my precious you
Thank you very much!
I'm Kudo Riko of stu48.
Nice to meet you!

I'm Kojima Aiko of stu48.
If my wish were to come true, I would turn my distant breath into a white rose.
On days when we can't meet, let's decorate the whole room, thinking of you.
Darling, I want you, I want to meet you, and I feel like I'm about to run into a thrilling love
I'm standing still like a lost child, wanting to deliver me right away.
I turned the dial and stopped, I'm just a woman falling in love
Darling, you love me I want to hear your voice right now
Even if I hold my cheeks with both hands, I hate the nights when I feel lost.
I turned the dial and stopped, I'm just a woman falling in love
I'm just a woman falling in love
Thank you very much.
I'm Saco Himeka of stu48. Nice to meet you.
As the snow melts and heads for the northern sky
As I shout out the dreams of the past
Those who won't return will swim with a burning heart
At least from today, I'll go on a journey alone
Somewhere in Japan, there's someone waiting for me
One day, I set out in search of a sunset
With a song I heard behind my mother's back, I took her on a journey
Somewhere in Japan, there's someone waiting for me
One day, I set out in search of happiness
With a song I sang as a child, I took her on a journey
Thank you very much.
I'm Sarah Shimizu of stu48.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
We were together all along, walking down the same path.
We part ways and walk our own separate paths.
Holding my heart overflowing with loneliness,
I look up at the sky and feel like I'm about to cry.
And I think of you.
Even on nights without you,
I feel like I'm about to cry.
I won't cry anymore.
Because I'm doing my best.
Because I'm getting stronger.
You're probably watching this too, right?
That's right, crescent moon.
Because we're connected, right?
Because I love you, right?
I reach my hand out to the crescent moon.
These feelings will reach you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Suzuki Ayaka of stu48.
Nice to meet you.
The season I've always been waiting for with you is Itsumo kimi to machi tsuzuketa kisetsu wa
I passed by without saying a word.
The rain falls on this town Ame wa kono machi ni furi sosogu
Wrap up a little rig and sin Sukoshi no rigu to to tsumi wo tsutsumikonde
Time passes as I vow not to cry, Nakanai koto wo chikatta mama toki wa sugi
Without noticing my aching heart Itamu kokoro ni ki ga tsukazu ni
In the memory of being alone, I was alone.
The two of us can live forever Zutto futari wa ikite yukeru
Your voice still resonates in my heart Kimi no koe ga ima mo mune ni hibiku yo
It's the shadow that love wanders around in. Sore wa ai ga samayou kage
I couldn't see you when you cried a little Kimi wa sukoshi naita ano toki mienakatta
Thank you very much.
I'm Momoka Rissen of the S.T.U. Court.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Momoka Rissen of the S.T.U. Court.
How are you doing?
Did you meet someone important?
Will your dream come true someday?
At the end of this road
Do you remember?
To the evening sky of the swaying forest
I kept searching for the sky along the horizon
Struggling to picture tomorrow
Now into my dream
The shapeless shine
Gently, gently
Embracing it
Moving forward
Thank you very much!
Finally, we had STU Hotel and 19 singer judges evaluate you.
Mr. Ota, how was it?
Yes, STU Hotel is amazing.
I have the impression that many people have a sense of the world.
Well, to put it bluntly, Mr. Ikeda Yura is a stable judge.
It was wonderful.
Also, I could hear the lyrics of Sara Shimizu very well.
She had a good sense of rhythm and her breath was very musical.
Yes, it was wonderful.
Yes, thank you very much.
Now, Ms. Ami.
Yes.
How was it?
Everyone is different and everyone is good, but...
I hate you.
Mr. Yano is...
I see.
He has a very relaxed and good voice, but above all, I felt that he had a very good sense of rhythm.
Yes.
I can listen to it without worrying.
I feel like I know him well.
Also, Mr. Mineoshi.
Yes.
You have a very cute voice, but you have a good balance of strength and delicacy.
And I'm sure you have very good ears.
Even if you get a little unstable, you get it back quickly.
That's what I think.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Now, Mr. Yudai.
Yes.
Well, STU48 has had a lot of individual levels since last year.
To be honest, I think everyone is pretty good.
Well, of course, those of you who gave it up earlier.
Yes.
That's right.
Well, I like Mr. Mitsuki Imamura's performance.
Yes.
After all, if you sing it with a performance, you can convey it very well.
And I like Mr. Taninichi's stable...
How do you say it?
I like the good pitch of the song and the feeling of being drawn in.
It's overwhelming.
Kojima Aoko san sang beautifully and carefully, and I have the impression that many people could hear the lyrics.
It was also an area of concern.
There were a lot of things.
How about this election?
I thought it was aggressive.
That's right. It was pretty aggressive.
The greetings were very energetic and cute.
There was a gap and I was surprised.
The way you breathe is sexy and the chorus is powerful and I think it's very cool.
Thank you very much.
Sasaki san.
Yes.
How was it?
Everyone is cute and sings well.
Is there anyone you like?
Everyone is really good and I thought it was amazing to sing one o'clock.
It's not a private market, but it seems that America and the Philippines have experience of studying abroad.
Is that so?
I looked it up.
I thought you were doing something in English.
Maybe you chose it as a weapon for that.
Yes.
I would like to see the impressions of the viewers who posted it on Twitter.
Here is my first impression.
"Nona members are really stable and amazing." This is a tweet from Kurosawa himself.
I knew you were watching.
Kurosawa is also an STU member. So is Nona Dia and Ninkeda.
There were a lot of things today.
Now, let's hear your impressions.
Thank you, Kurosawa.
Mitch's driving-like singing voice is the best ride.
Boyfriend.
"Boyfriend" by Mitsuki Imamura.
Ami, what did you think of Mitsuki Imamura?
She was smiling from the beginning.
I thought she was smiling because she sang that song in a high note.
She also had a good singing voice.
Here is my next impression.
"From Yano-san to Oki-san", that's a lot of orders!
Yeah, "from Yano-san to Oki-san"
From Yano-san to Oki-san
Ah, I see.
Ah, it's here.
Yano-san... Oki-san...
How about Oki-san?
"From Yano-san to Oki-san"?
Ah, "from Yano-san to Oki-san"
Maybe she didn't like it after "from Yano-san to Oki-san"?
Ah, I see.
Both of them were great.
Yeah.
Oki-san, what did you think?
"Red Aquatopsy", Kyoda-san.
Ah, yes. "Red Aquatopsy", ah, yes.
It had a pure feeling, didn't it?
It had a straightforward feeling, and I think it was very good.
Yes.
And with that...
Yes.
It's in order, you know.
Yes.
One more.
Yes, one more.
Let's go.
Mou utai dasu kara kore da mono
"Ike-chan", Ikeda Yura-san.
Yes.
Now, Ikeda Yura-san, once again...
Well, Yudai-san.
Yes.
Ikeda Yura-san, what did you think?
He's a monster, isn't he?
Yes, well...
How should I say it...
Well, since last year, he won for the first time.
Yes.
What kind of performance will Yudai-san show us?
Well, at least you have expectations, don't you?
Yes.
This past year...
First of all...
His proud appearance...
First of all, I was surprised.
It's like...
He sings like this and draws you in...
Yes.
Also, when it comes to singing...
First of all, he doesn't miss the pitch...
Also...
How should I say it...
His groove is big, isn't it?
His sense of time is big, isn't it?
It's like he's always like this...
His groove is big, isn't it?
He's only 17 years old...
That's why I think he's a monster.
He's only 17 years old, you know.
Yes.
And with that...
The first day of qualifying has come to an end.
Judges, thank you for your hard work!
Thank you for your hard work!
And with that, the first day of qualifying has come to an end.
Yudai-san...
Yes?
Who do you think is in first place?
That question again?
I'm curious about it every year, but it's coming up again.
No, no, no...
Well...
This is...
Well...
You know...
Let's look forward to it!
Well, well...
That's right.
And with that, the first day of qualifying has come to an end.
The top 20 players have been announced!
Thank you for waiting! The first round of the final round of the 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round has come to an end!
Which of the 48 members of SKE48, NMB48, NGT48 and STU48 are ranked in?
If you are not ranked in here, you will not be able to enter the final tournament.
Now, let's announce the results of the first day of the qualifying round! First of all, the announcement of 20th to 11th place!
Now, there are two 19th places this time. I will introduce you at once.
The first one is STU48 SAKO HIMEKA!
STU48 SAKO HIMEKA!
And the second 19th place is SKE48 ITO MIKI!
Congratulations!
Now, Mr. Ohta, how about this 19th place?
This is Mr. SAKO. I think he is about the youngest.
Yes, he is 14 years old and he is good-looking.
That's right! He was defeated in the election.
And his low voice is very good and he is very sexy.
He is 14 years old and he is sexy.
And his voice and song are good.
I'm looking forward to his future.
His future is promising.
Now, Ms. AMI, what do you think of Mr. ITO MIKI?
Mr. ITO MIKI...
He is SKE48. He is looking forward to his future.
He was singing very carefully.
He is taking care of singing again.
His singing impression is like a cow.
It's OK.
Next is 18th place.
There are two people with the same score.
17th place has two people.
The first one is...
NMB48 ANJU MANABE.
Congratulations.
The second one is...
SKE48 CANNON SAWADA.
I made a mistake.
Congratulations.
These are the two people.
Mr. Yudai.
Mr. ANJU MANABE. NMB.
He is 19 years old.
Looking at his age...
He is 19 years old.
But he is very sexy.
First of all, I thought he was cool when I listened to him.
I wrote "long legs" too.
Is that it?
I don't know his singing ability.
But he sang the song carefully and carefully.
If I dare to say it, if the chorus had been focused a little more and the composition had been made,
I think the impression would have been a little different.
I had an impression that it was regrettable.
And Mr. Sawada.
Mr. Ohta.
Yes.
He is a painter of light.
This song has a lot of falsettos.
But it is very stable and I think it was good because it had a sense of transparency.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Now, 15th place.
Next is 16th place.
Is it 16th place?
Yes, I will announce 16th place.
16th place is stu48 chiho ishida.
Yes, congratulations.
Now, Ami.
Yes.
chiho ishida.
stu48 didn't get a lot of votes, but how about you, chiho ishida?
I had the impression that he had a very pure voice.
His falsetto came out very beautifully.
I had the impression that he was very good at switching between his own falsetto and falsetto.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Yes, next is 15th place.
Yes.
15th place is stu48 kudo riko.
Yes, congratulations.
Oh, it's a one-off.
Yes, congratulations.
Now, Mr. yudai.
Yes.
How about you, kudo riko?
First of all, in this election, as you know, there is a difficult road ahead of you.
I don't know how to say it...
I think it's very difficult because English lyrics and Japanese lyrics are mixed together.
And I think there were still some rough edges, to be honest.
But I think he was a kid who really felt his own will, such as the way he took it to the second half.
So I want him to aim even higher and get better and better.
Yes, thank you.
Now, let's move on to 14th place.
14th place is...
stu48 imamura mitsuki!
Yes, congratulations!
Mr. Ohta, who sang "boyfriend" for us.
Yes!
That's right. I gave him a pretty high score for this song.
It has a good sense of rhythm, and it's a song that makes you feel like you're having fun.
Also, his performance was very good, and I had the impression that he was able to express the song very well.
Yes, thank you.
Now, let's move on to 13th place.
Yes, 13th place is...
stu48 mineyoshi arisa!
Yes, congratulations!
Yes, mineyoshi-san...
Now, Ms. Ami...
Yes?
How did you like mineyoshi-san's performance?
I gave him a pretty high score for this song, and I said everything I wanted to say earlier.
I thought he might be in the rankings.
Yes, let's hear about it later.
Yes, thank you.
Now, let's move on to 12th place.
Yes, since we have the same score for the next place, we have two 11th place winners.
Two 11th place winners.
Yes, the first one is...
nmb48 orisaka koharu!
Yes, congratulations!
And also 11th place, nmb48 kato yuka!
Yes, congratulations!
Yes, so this is the rag team from 20th to 11th place, but once again, Mr. Ohta, how about it?
Yes, um, orisaka koharu, I think.
Her double tones were very rich and her ending phrase was very beautiful.
Also, I thought it would be better if she had more facial expressions.
Yes, thank you very much.
Soami-san, how was it?
Mr. kato, you sang "today's flower" from the first line with a lot of confidence,
so I think you must have practiced a lot until you got there.
Yes, thank you very much!
Now, Yuudai-san, what do you think of this whole thing from 20th to 11th place?
I'd say it's strong.
Yes, you're right.
I think it's pretty good.
Even though I was the one who judged it,
I have the impression that the good singers are following along with the results.
Yes, thank you very much.
So, shall we move on?
Now, we will announce the top 10 people for the first day of qualifying!
Yes!
10th place is...
NGT48
Kino Nimura!
Congratulations!
Now, 10th place is Mr. Mimura.
Mr. Yudai.
Yes.
What do you think?
Well, it's very...
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
I think it was sung very carefully.
It's also a little surprising impression.
He's a regular member, isn't he?
Yes.
He's been to the finals two or three times, but it's 10th place for the first day.
Mr. Yudai.
Yes.
That's right.
Mr. Mimura.
Yes.
He was a finalist last time, so it was a surprising result.
Yes.
It says in the memo that he wanted to hit it with a higher pitch, so I think that's probably what made it sound like that.
Yes.
So...
Well, it's 10th place, isn't it?
Yes.
So, next up is 9th place.
Yes.
There are two more people who got the same score, so there are two 8th places.
Yes.
The first one is...
Yes.
stu48...
Taniguchi...
Mahina.
Yes.
Congratulations!
And in 8th place and 2nd place is...
nmb48 kuroda and phu!
Yes, congratulations!
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Yes.
Now, let's talk about these two.
Ami-san.
Yes.
What do you think of Taniguchi Maruna-san?
He's someone I can ask with confidence.
Yes.
With confidence.
I'm sorry.
Yes.
He was singing with confidence.
And the other one...
Kuroda-san of batale seibashi.
Yes.
He was singing with confidence, as if he were on the microphone.
He was singing with strength and had a good atmosphere.
Yes.
I think he's in a good position.
I see.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Now, let's move on to 7th place.
Yes.
The 7th place is...
nmb48 kojima aiko of stu48.
Yes, congratulations!
Now, yudai-san.
Yes.
What do you think of kojima aiko-chan?
Yes.
I have a good impression of her.
I gave her a high score.
But...
She doesn't come out.
Yes.
If she doesn't come out, ota-san.
Yes.
I can hear the lyrics very well.
Yes.
The scene was very fast and it felt good.
And her thick voice was very powerful.
Yes.
It went well with the song.
I see.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Now, let's move on to 6th place.
Yes.
The 6th place is...
ske48 furuhata nao.
Yes, congratulations!
Yes, well...
- Ami-san! - Yes?
- She also has high scores in singing and dancing.
- She was really good at singing and dancing, wasn't she? - Yes, that's right!
- That's where we'll end up, so... - Yes...
- Now that I think about it, we're talking about singing and dancing. - No, we're not!
- Everyone said it! - Everyone said it!
- That's right.
- Oto-san, do you still have an impression of singing and dancing? - For me, of course, singing and dancing...
- No, it was great! - Then, how about you, Yudai - san?
- Singing and dancing. - You have a singing ability.
- Singing and dancing. - Of course!
- Plus singing and dancing. - Plus singing and dancing.
- Yes, with that said, we'll announce 5th place! - Yes!
5th place is...
- stu48... - shimizu-sara!
- Yes, congratulations! - Yes!
- Ah, this Mikazuki is really good! - Yes!
- Yes... now, Oto-san! - Yes!
- shimizu-sara-san... - shimizu-sara-san...
- Ah, that's right! - Mikazuki!
- Yes!
- Thank you very much! - Thank you!
Also, his rhythm was really good...
His breath really made you feel the rhythm with your breath...
It was a really good way of singing, and I had a good impression of it!
Hi, thank you very much!
- Which means... - Hi!
- Continuing... - 4th place!
- That's it! - 4th place is...
nmb48...
- iijin! - Oh!
- Thank you very much! Thank you very much! - It's here!
lol
This is an amazing place!
It's her first time here.
And this is...
Dami-san!
How was it?
I wanted to ask for a refill.
That's how much I liked it.
It's a small world, isn't it?
And you, Ryudai-san, what did you think of it?
Well...
She's a new girl who hasn't appeared before.
As I said earlier, sometimes when she says "pa" her English nuance is just...
I see.
She sings well and I thought "Ah, this person must be able to speak English too."
But she can speak it, right?
Yes, that's right.
She was also very good at singing.
Yes, thank you very much.
And now, for the first day of the qualifier, we will announce the top 3!
The 3rd place is...
STU48 Yano Honoka!
Yes, congratulations!
Yano, congratulations!
Yano Honoka-san!
Now, Yudai-san!
Yes?
How was Yano Honoka-chan?
Yano-san...
She sings with a lot of talking, but her voice still goes through quite a bit.
So I thought she was singing better than before.
She has a sense of transparency.
And her singing style is very polite.
The way she speaks, the way she cuts her words...
It's all very well thought out.
As expected of this 10th place.
Yano Honoka is in the top 3.
Now that we've come this far...
Yes, and now...
We will announce the 2nd place!
That's right.
Which one do you think it is?
Now, I will announce it.
The 2nd place is...
NMB48 Yamasaki Amiru!
Yes, congratulations!
Let's see...
Ota-san!
Yes!
How did you like Amiru-chan?
She caught my attention from the beginning.
She gave me a sense of security.
But she's also cute and has a very attractive singing voice.
And I thought her breath was also musical.
Yes, I really liked the sense of rhythm.
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
Now...
Now, Ami-san!
Did you like Yamasaki Amiru-chan as well?
She's a great singer.
With a live performance...
Yes, I came to see her live performance.
I want to see it.
I want to listen to various songs as well.
Yes.
Now...
The first announcement of the first day of the qualifier!
The first place goes to...
STU48 Ikeda Yura!
Yes, congratulations!
So, the first place of the first day is Mr. Ikeda Yura!
Now, with that in mind, 20 people have been decided.
First of all, let's ask Mr. Ikeda about his impression of Mr. Ota.
Yes, it's impressive.
I didn't think he was 17 years old.
He was originally very good at expressing himself,
but I thought he was improving his expression even more.
Yes, thank you very much.
Ms. Ami!
Yes, his stability was also amazing,
but I got the impression that he was very good at controlling himself,
including his voice, expressions, and world view.
Yes, thank you very much.
Now, Mr. Yudai!
Yes, I've known him for a little while since last year,
but from Mr. Ikeda, who is good at singing,
I'm sure he's made a lot of effort over the past year for both sides,
but I think he's become more and more like a monster with his beauty written all over his face.
From a monster to a monster!
He's become a monster!
So, with that in mind, 20 people have been chosen to advance to the final round of the first day of the qualifying round!
Congratulations!
Now, it's almost time for the first day of the final round of the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round!
Ota-san, how did you feel about the first day of the qualifying round?
Yes, well, overall, I had the impression that people with good balance remained at the top.
Well, unfortunately, this time, even people who didn't score high each had their own charm, so it was very wonderful.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of talent we'll see tomorrow!
Yes!
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow as well. Now, Ami-san!
I'm looking forward to tomorrow as well, but I'm a little worried.
Worried?
What do you mean?
Well, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, so if you don't listen carefully and concentrate, you'll feel like it'll pass in an instant.
Yes, with today's impression in mind...
That's right.
...we'd like you to look forward to tomorrow's judges.
Yes.
Yes, we look forward to seeing you tomorrow as well.
Now, Yudai-san!
Yes.
Yes, how was it?
Tomorrow as well, there will be a lot of great singers, but this tournament is really interesting!
It's interesting, isn't it?
It's really... even if you're such a great singer, there are still places where you feel like you're still in second place... I'm really looking forward to tomorrow as well.
Yes, thank you very much.
How about you, Waga-san?
Well... let's see... it's like a hard hit from an NMV.
You came in sixth place out of eight, didn't you?
That's right.
Yes, this is really amazing.
After all, when I saw the flow and saw your old head, I thought you'd go pretty far, but you came in sixth place, didn't you?
Yes, with that said, various... after all, STU is also amazing!
Yes, I'm looking forward to tomorrow as well!
AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round 2 will be broadcast live at this time starting tomorrow night at 9pm!
Tomorrow's preliminary screening will be AKB48 and HKT48's singing screening.
Everyone, please do watch it!
Yes, with that said, tomorrow, the second place in the finals will be decided!
Well then, we hope to see you again tomorrow night at 9pm!
Everyone, goodbye! See you tomorrow!
