This is the live broadcast of the fourth AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Final Straight Ahead Singing Group Separation Live Voting Session from TBS G-Studio.
I'm Kumazaki Kazato, a TBS announcer, and I'm Maine Sasaki, a TBS announcer, and I'm also a newscaster.
Tonight, on January 12th, we'll be holding the fourth AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Final, which will be held at Maihama Amphitheatre.
These 20 people who have decided to advance to the final will be divided into four groups and the order of singing in the final will be decided on today's live broadcast.
Now, let me introduce you to the guests who will be voting today.
First up is Kaoru Kurosawa of Gosperars, who will be judging both the second and third finals and this tournament as well.
Good evening.
Next up is Yusuke Waga, who has been judging all the qualifiers from the first to this tournament.
Thank you for having me.
Tonight, we will have these two people draw lots.
Thank you for having me.
Mr. Kurosawa, you will be drawing lots for us. How do you feel about it?
Last time, I didn't know much about the members or anything like that, so I was pretty relaxed about it.
But this time, I feel a lot of pressure.
I don't know what to do.
Mr. Kurosawa will be drawing lots for us.
Why? Why would I draw lots for you?
Thank you for having me.
And now, it's your turn, Mr. Waga.
That's right. This is our fourth time, so I'm sure we're getting better and better.
I'm still fine, but please don't forget.
It's Gosperars.
You guys tend to forget about it.
You guys let me draw lots so easily.
It's Gosperars.
It's true.
I'm fine with it, but...
Do you two feel nervous about drawing lots?
Well, you know...
The order of singing changes your impression completely.
If I were in your position, I'd be nervous.
I'm sorry.
I apologize in advance.
I'm sorry in advance.
People's lives change.
No, no, no.
Thank you for having me.
Now, before we start the draw,
we'd like to see the members' enthusiasm for the qualifiers and the finals.
Viewers, please send us your impressions and opinions of the live broadcast
with the hashtag #akb48SingingPowerNo.1DecisionLine.
First of all, we have five judges who recommended us.
In addition to those from 15th to 10th place in the qualifiers,
we have 11 people who recommended us.
Here you go.
I love you
I'm sure I'll make a gap.
Hey, I love you.
Every time you spread in my heart,
Love overflows and tears spill.
I was frustrated.
But I asked myself why I wasn't one of the 15 people.
I'm not convinced, but I was able to look back and think about why it wasn't good.
I think it's a good catalyst.
My goal is to make it to the finalist live.
And in order to stand in the finalist live, I have to aim for the championship.
I don't think I can go up to that base, so I'll do my best with the feeling of aiming for the championship.
It's a very difficult game.
I won't disturb you two again.
I like idols since I was a student, and I've listened to a lot of songs.
In this time, I spend more time at home.
I've been playing music all the time at home than watching TV.
And even if I can't stand on stage, if I can stand in front of the fans again next time,
I want to be a little more mature.
That's what I thought at the time.
This time, I was able to advance to the finals like this.
I'd like to do my best to show you a better side of me again.
Staring at you, I'll kick you into space.
I made this song so that I could show you my good side and have fun.
I made this song so that I could liven up the place and enjoy it.
Even when I was watching it, the members standing behind the live band were really cool.
I was watching everyone singing and having fun singing up close.
I didn't think I'd be standing there for a year.
I'm so happy that it came true.
I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can and stand on stage.
Everything about you is beautiful, isn't it?
Like a dry flower,
the days I spent with you will surely, surely, surely, surely fade away.
My goal is... I chose a song and had a lot of trouble choosing it.
I want to sing one song, but when I think about judging and stuff like that, there are songs I've given up on.
I want to become a finalist and sing it in my last live performance.
It's the fourth time I've been able to make it to the finals.
If I don't give up and work hard, I'll be able to advance to the finals like this.
I hope I can give those of you who are watching what you want to do the courage to take a step forward.
Like always, I felt like I could go back and looked up at the sky.
Don't say goodbye.
Even tonight, I'm falling into a dream.
I've been thinking about it since the qualifying round.
I think the most important thing is how much fun you can have when you sing.
I'm going to use all the power I have right now
and tell you about the good things about the song and about me.
I think we're going to have a lot of AKB members on stage this year.
I hope other fans will think, "AKB is great."
And I'm going to be a captain, too.
If she's the captain, I can trust her!
I hope we can give you that kind of performance.
When we sing the same song and kiss each other,
stay by my side.
I wish...
I'm glad we met with kindness that's not cool.
La la la la goodbye days
I can't sing other artists' songs at AKB events.
I want to sing more songs and let people know more about me.
I want people to think, "She can sing."
And I have a close friend of mine, Nana.
I know I can't keep up with her,
but I want to catch up with her.
I'd be happy if I could stay as a finalist with Nana.
I think there are girls who don't usually get much spotlight, but I think there are things that can be found by properly conveying the feelings contained in the song, and I think that it is getting less and less to be passionate about something and take it seriously, so in such a place, I feel like I'm trying to sing hard in AKB recently, so if I can show you my growth in such a place again, I would be happy if you could cheer for me.
I'm sure you'll say that I've evolved a lot, so I'll do my best with everyone.
I'm far away and I'm scolding you
I've heard a lot of my fans say that I should sing a song like "kayo" or something like "natsumero"
But I really like it and I chose songs that include my own voice and my own characteristics, so please look forward to it.
Until now, I sang solo songs in theaters and received a lot of opinions like "Oh, otake-san is a person who can sing properly",
but I can say for myself that I have definitely grown compared to my singing ability in the first final,
so I would like you to take a closer look at my growth over the past few years and that I am a member who will sing as an AKB member in the future.
Your kindness is blocking me
Before I knew it, a gap has opened and my heart is being filled
The casual gestures of the sudden moment
Someday, I'll talk about my dream
I want to keep looking at your face all the time. I want you to smile.
I think I've leveled up, but at the same time, we're all going up together.
Every year, I've been thinking about a lot of things.
The first time, I was singing without thinking about anything.
I think I've been working hard four times in four years now.
I want to do my best to show my true colors.
I love singing anyway, so I don't usually sing alone while I'm active.
I want people who don't know me to know my singing voice.
I like my own music.
It's worth it, but I hope someone can hear it.
I hope you can deliver all your feelings of love for music and make you smile.
I'm standing there like the last one.
I want you to reach me as soon as possible.
When I think about my own atmosphere and charms,
I'm often told that I'm calm.
I'd like to show that I'm more beautiful and glossy than cute.
That's why I chose this song.
I want you to see that I'm pretty good at it.
I'm often told that I'm careless and that I'm an adult, but I'm actually not bad at it.
I want you to see that I'm good at it and that I have a solid performance.
I want you to look at me more closely.
I want you to say "look at me more closely".
I want you to look at me more closely.
If you didn't say "look at me more closely",
Would you be here?
I wanted to sing it last year, and I've always chosen a song that I'm familiar with.
On the same day, all of my teammates are performing at different venues.
I'm going from one of my teammates to one of my teammates, so I'd like to do my best to show my teammates that I can still do it.
I'm going to do my best.
I still can't believe that I'm going to participate in the finals every time, but
that's why every year I don't have a song to sing and I don't have a hand to fight with, so I'm anxious, but I'm looking forward to it every year, I'm participating with the feeling of a skill test every year.
I think songs will definitely be tied to memories, but I hope that the situation and atmosphere at that time will have an impact that will make you say "that was amazing" when you remember someone who is not a fan, of course, but a stage that can vividly remain in your memory.
Now, we have seen the judges' recommendation frame of five people, the qualifying round from 15th to 10th, the singing scene and enthusiasm of the qualifying round.
Mr. Kurosawa, please tell us your honest impressions.
No, everyone is already good.
Perhaps in the first and second rounds, there are many people who can already be finalists.
So, this time it will be a final without a judge.
After all, with the tolerance of singing in a live band, the rankings will still be turned over at all, so I really don't know until the day.
I think Mr. Kurosawa said last year that it was very high level, but is it still quite high level this year?
I think it's higher than last year.
Usually, Mr. Mimura is in the 20th place, or rather, Mr. Mimura is in the judging frame.
Everyone has raised it quite a bit.
Mr. Mimura also sings completely differently when he is in a live band, so I'm looking forward to seeing if he's really tickling here.
Mr. Uwaga, you saw it from the first round to this fourth round, and you watched it halfway through, but how was the qualifying scene?
So, I don't know what the judges are scoring with anymore.
I don't know where there is a difference.
Everyone is good and everyone wins, isn't it good?
Don't you stop raffling anymore?
Everyone wins and turns over all the programs.
That's not true, but...
You'll do it, won't you?
I'll do it.
Let's move on to the next VTR.
Yes, the next one is a total of nine singing scenes and enthusiasm from 8th to 1st place in the qualifying round.
Here you go.
"Kimi ga Irakunatta Hibi mo" by Kizuna AI
"Komete o kureyo" by Kizuna AI
In the qualifying round, I sang with the key of "cat" as the original song,
but I sometimes sing songs with low or surprisingly high keys,
so I think I have a wider range of sounds than others,
and I hope one day I can show you such a gap.
The point of this qualifying round is...
Anyway, I chose my favorite song.
I want to sing, I want to sing, I can't help it.
It's like singing every day.
I'm really looking forward to standing on the stage and performing it in a live band,
so I hope I can sing the song I chose more fun and more fun than anyone else.
Know everything
Stronger than you think
If it's a kind lie, I don't want it
I wanted you
This time, everyone is very strong. Last time, of course, it was strong, but everyone put a lot of effort into it, and I'm sure there are a lot of girls who have been practicing really hard for this, so I think I have to do my best from now on, and I'm really alone in SK, so I'd like to do my best to stay in the top 10 and sing two songs.
I want to deliver my feelings to people, but I'm sure I want to be the one who is most moved by the song.
But I'm the type of person who thinks that I should be born more if I convey my feelings and if it is conveyed to someone.
I think it would be happy if I could make it a stage where I could be convinced and fulfilled and move people who listen to it.
I thought of you, ah ah ah ah
Even on nights without you
I don't cry anymore
Because I'm doing my best
Because I'm getting stronger, oh oh oh
I'm taking a break and I've fallen a lot.
I want to make it a stage of my revival as an idol.
I couldn't come out last year because I took a break.
I think I have a stronger feeling than other performers.
There is also a place for my revival.
When I was depressed, my fans comforted me a lot.
Next time I want to be in a position to cheer up.
Even if I can't take your hand
I love you
My, my
I wish the time would stop.
This year, I have a lot of akb, and I feel like I have a lot of friends.
After all, even in this, I want to be a finalist.
I felt like I had more rivals.
Not only the top four in the qualifying round, but also the top four in the qualifying round will definitely meet someone.
Other than that, I think it would be scary if I met Furuhata-san.
After all, I love singing songs, so I want to convey that feeling as much as possible.
I hope everyone will think that the song I sang is a good song, and I hope that this event will be livened up as a whole akb group.
Because kindness is by your side.
I wasn't very satisfied with myself in the qualifying round, and I felt like I wanted to go higher and higher.
But there are still finals left, so I want you to show me your other image at that time.
I'm definitely going to win and break this stage.
But honestly, it's my first big venue, so I'm nervous, but I'll practice hard with that big dream in mind.
Thank you for watching.
I won't forget you of that day.
I have feelings that go beyond time.
I want to see you right now.
In a word, everyone is getting better.
I think the expectations of the fans of this project are also very high.
I'm looking forward to the finals.
It's a song that puts out all of my good points.
I chose a song that makes me feel comfortable.
It's a song that only thinks about winning.
I'm only aiming for the championship this time as well.
I'll do my best!
Because I love you.
I wish my time wouldn't stop.
The top four are the members of LONA DIAMONDS.
I feel like everyone is getting serious again this time.
Last time, I felt like I had to win first place, and I felt like I couldn't do my best, and I felt like I made a mistake in the election, so I regretted it last time.
So I'm aiming for first place this time, but my goal is to relax and enjoy the music itself and sing it.
I'm very happy to be able to advance to the finals in second place in the qualifying round as last year, and it's my second time, but I want to do my best without forgetting my first victory.
It's NMB48's Isshion.
I thought it was a song that only Isshion could sing, and I thought it was very nice.
Until now, I've loved singing and loved this competition, and I was very happy to be able to participate in this competition, but this time I want to do my best to sing a song that reaches those who listen to it.
Your voice, your face, your awkwardness, I don't hate it all, I want to see the days with you like a dry flower,
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure it will fade away.
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
I have a strong feeling that I have to win, so I hope that I can be on such a stage so that one person's singing voice can be recognized.
Now, we have seen the singing scene and enthusiasm of the qualifying 8th to 1st place candidates.
Mr. Kurosawa, we have now seen all of the finalists. How do you feel?
Well, anyone can win in the top 8.
So far, everyone has won.
I think we should have a finalist live show with 20 people.
To be honest, I don't want to judge.
Especially for the top 5,
they are just singers, good singers.
It's not like an idol will sing a song and challenge.
They are just singers who are good at singing live.
I don't know what's wrong with them.
Mr. Okada, who is in first place, has an overwhelming ability to express himself.
I don't know if I can say this to you,
but Mr. Okada's singing voice comes out a little bit at first.
I thought there was a possibility of dividing the first, second, and third places.
Is it that detailed?
Yes, I think it's at that level.
Anyone can win first place.
Mr. Ikeda, who was second place in the preliminary round,
is the first time in this tournament to win twice in a row.
Is that so?
What do you think of the possibility?
I think it's possible.
I think even Mr. Furuhata has a chance of winning.
And Mr. Ii...
I say it in a creepy way,
but it's an unknown ability.
If you think you're going to win first place, you may win second place.
Mr. Waga, we've seen all of you so far, but how do you predict the final tournament?
Well, you know, the top four teams are common, aren't they?
And they're already using the song that suits them the most, aren't they?
When that happens, Hatsu Shizuo, and of course I.C.O.N. and Shimizu Sara are interesting, aren't they?
I haven't seen them before, so I think Mr. Shin will be surprised by that, too.
I'm excited about what kind of song they'll sing, and I don't know much about them.
Now, are you two ready?
What?
I'd like to explain.
The fourth AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Final Tournament's Singing Groups Drawing Session!
We have to do it, Mr. Waga said it.
From now on, Mr. Kurosawa and Mr. Waga will draw these 20 people into four groups.
First of all, four top four seed groups will be divided into each group for a draw.
Once the seed group has been decided, we will draw in order of one group to four groups.
We will decide the singing group as a division of each group from Group A from Group 5 of the qualifying round, and Group B from Group 12 of the qualifying round as a division of each group.
In addition, there were three members in Group 12 of the qualifying round, so Mr. Kurosawa was selected in advance, followed by Mr. Sakamoto Elena of HKT48, Mr. Kojima Aiko of STU48, and Mr. Ootake Hitomi of AKB48.
Yes, that's why we're going to split up the groups now, but how about you, Mr. Kurosawa?
I don't want to do it.
You've already said it once and for all, haven't you?
But you have to do it, don't you?
I'll do it with all my heart.
I'll say it again, but I'm not that strong of a drawer.
I don't have anything to say.
You can't do anything, can you?
I have no choice but to do it.
You have no choice but to draw.
Well, if you're ready to draw, let's get started.
If you do that, you won't be able to sit in the dressing room.
There's only about 22 minutes left in the dressing room, so you have to finish it somehow.
I think you can get lost.
You can't organize your thoughts.
Let's look back at the qualifying round.
One more time, okay?
I've looked back many times, so I'm sorry.
Now, the singer group will be selected randomly.
Let's start with the seed work.
SEED WORK
The seed work is pretty tight.
There are four people in the seed work.
First of all, you will be divided into groups of one, two, three, and four.
So you're going to put this in?
That's right.
There are four people in the seed work.
There are only four people in the seed work.
There is no exception.
No.
In this box, Kurosawa will draw from now on.
Shall we go right away?
Yes, I understand.
First of all, it's the first group of seed work.
Yes, mix it up. Mix it up well.
Okay, let's go.
The first group of qualifying is Yano.
Yano is here.
The first group of seed work, STU48, Yano Honoka is in.
She did an unbelievable voice control.
If you say it with this calmness, you'll say it a lot.
- Last time it was the first group. - Yeah, that's what I had in mind in the first half.
Last time it was the first group, and this time it's the first group's fifth member.
I told you not to think about it back then.
- That's not how the game works. - Let's move on to the second group.
- Yamasaki. - Yamasaki is in.
Yamasaki 48 to Yamasaki. Amir is in the second group's fifth seed frame.
- Yamasaki raised his arm or his throat. - He raised his throat.
- That was a great singing voice in the preliminaries. - His throat raised.
- I don't know about that at all. - And his draw is great.
- As a revenge champion... - Yes.
- He's still in first place in this preliminaries. - Oh, I see.
- It's a great draw. - What will happen in the third group's seed frame?
He looks relaxed. Oh!
- Okada is in. - He's in the third group's seed frame.
- AKB 48, STU 48, Okada 73. - That's a pretty good number.
- He was fourth, third, second and first in the preliminaries. - Fourth, third and first, right?
- Okada was first in the preliminaries. - And in the last group...
- He's in the last group's seed frame. - We can't hold back anymore.
- Ikeda is in. - Fourth group's seed frame.
- Okada is in. - Okada is in the last group's seed frame.
- STU 48, Ikeda Yuratan, defending champion is in the last group's seed frame. - Ikeda is not the type of person to be beaten by Christian.
So, first of all, in this line-up, from the first group, Yano-san, Yamasaki-san, Okada-san, Ikeda- san,
the four seeds are as you can see.
- Kurosawa-san, how about it? - No, it was relatively good.
- That's right. - It was good. I was very relieved.
Ikeda-san is last, but Ikeda-san is really not the same person at all,
so it doesn't matter if it's last or first.
- Well... - That's right.
- It's their first time competing and winning for the first time. - That's right.
- They have a sense of honor. - Wakasan, how about this line-up?
- No, I think it's good. It's good from here... No, it's good from here!
- That's right! - That's good!
- It doesn't matter who's going to clash against who! - That's right.
- I think it's good up to this point. - Yes.
- The rest is up to the staff. - No, no, no.
- I'd like you two to draw this live broadcast. - Thank you very much.
- Now, shall we begin? - Let's do it live!
Singers' group selection live broadcast. Next up is the first line-up!
Now, from here, in the first line-up, it will be decided which faces these five people will clash against.
- That's right. - That's right.
First of all, the order in which this will be drawn is...
From the first group, group B.
The second group, group A.
The third group, group B.
The fourth group, group A.
So, group B, group A, group B, group A will be drawn in order.
Group A's box, group Crosser's box, group B's box...
- Wakasan, I'd like you to draw each of them. - Yes, yes.
Now, first of all, the first group's top batter, Wakasan...
- Please start with group B's box of choice! - No, no, no...
- Shall we do it? - Shall we do it?
- Let's do it. - Let's do it.
- No, no, no...
- The event is a top batter. - That's right.
So, I don't know if it will be exciting there. But Mizuki Imamura wants it to be exciting, doesn't she?
- Yes. - She said she wanted it to be exciting earlier.
So, I'd like it to be exciting at the top batter.
- Let's do it. - Let's do it.
- Let's do it!
- Hitomi Ohtake. - Ohtake is in the top batter!
Hitomi Ohtake of akb48 is in the first group.
- That means she's in the top batter. - Yes.
She's experienced, isn't she? She's been in the first batter before.
- She can do it if she knows how to do it. - Yes.
- So... - I don't know.
The second person in the first group. Kurosawa- san, please pick an "A" box.
- I really don't like it. - Okay, let's do it.
- Shimizu-san. - Shimizu-san is in the box!
- Shimizu-san! - Shimizu-san of akb48 is in the first group!
- Wow! - Two people in akb48 are in the first group.
- That's right. - Wow!
How do you feel about these three people being in the first group?
- Well... - This is...
- We're in trouble. - We're in trouble.
- I'm in trouble, too. - We might be in akb48.
- Yes. - We're in trouble.
- Both of them are talented. - That's right.
- We might be in akb48. - Yes.
- Okay, the third person in the first group. Waga - san, please pick an "A" box. - Okay.
- Huh? - Here I go!
- Okay. - Murayama Yuiri.
- Murayama-san is here! From AKB48 to Murayama Yuri.
- The scariest thing for me was hitting this girl with an okada.
- I see. - I'm glad I picked her.
- Murayama-san is still unknown. - Yes.
- Once she comes out, you can't tell at all. - Yeah, you can't tell.
- Her high notes are on another level.
- The four of you have been chosen. Now, for the last person in the first group, the fourth person!
- Do I have to pick one? - Please do!
- Do I have to pick one? Do I have to pick one? - Yes, you do.
- I'll pick one. I understand. I'll pick one.
- Who is it? Who is it? - Whoa!
- What? - Whoa!
- Who is it? - Who is it?
- It's "E"-san. - Whoa! Here comes "E" Shion-san!
- You can't tell at all! - You can't tell at all!
- NLP48 graduate "E" Shion-san is in the fourth person in the first group!
- This is going to be a fierce battle.
- Yeah, you can't tell at all.
- I heard that "E"-san is getting a lot of attention here.
- Shimizu-san, Murayama-san, and even Otake-san are getting fired up.
- I'm sorry, Yano-san, but you can't let your guard down.
- It's "C"-san, but...
- It's "E" Shion-san in the third and eighth place.
- There's a good chance that "E" Shion-san will turn things around in this group.
- You look like you're thinking about something.
- But I think it's interesting as a card.
- I think it's pretty interesting at first.
- It's interesting, but I'm sorry.
- These five people are in the first group.
- Are you going to Twitter?
- We'd like to see what viewers think of this.
- Here's the first comment.
- I don't like him.
- Suddenly, Setoichi wears... - Oh, sorry!
- ...an STU. - Sorry.
- You two are here, right? - Yes.
- One more. Let's continue with one more. - There are a lot of STU.
- That's right. - AKB STU wears...
- A top batter. - A jockey...
- Mr. Ohtake. - Mr. Ohtake. - A gym?
- He's not... - A gori?

- The first group may have the most intense singing ability.
- It depends on how carefully you sing.
- There are five members in each group and there are eight members in total.
- How about the second group?
- Mr. Kurosawa, you may not know the difference yet.
- Well...
- I have experience of singing in a live band.
- I don't know how Mr. Mimura will do.
- Mr. Mimura sang a very rhythmic song with only one piano.
- It may be better for him.
- What do you think of these five members in the second group?
- I hope Mr. Mimura enjoys singing.
- However...
- I wonder if he wanted to be in the first group.

The third group, Top Basta, will start with Team B, so we will have you draw in order of B, A, B, A.
We will have you draw first, Mr. Waga.
Okay. But, Mr. Okada, you don't have an STU card anymore.
Oh, that's right.
I see.
First up is Team AKB.
Okay.
It's Mr. Yuka Kato.
The first member of the third group, Mr. Yuka Kato has entered.
Mr. Yuka Kato, NMB48.
Oh, I see.
Are you two playing "dry flower"?
No, we're not playing "dry flower."
We're not playing "dry flower."
We're only playing "dry flower."
That's right.
Okay, next up is the second member of the third group, Mr. Kurosawa.
Please show us your draw box, Mr. Kurosawa.
It's starting to open up for me.
It's Mr. Oda.
Okay.
Team AKB48.
Mr. Oda and Ms. Erina are in the third group.
They're in the second group.
It depends on the type of song you like.
Some of the songs I like are similar to Mr. Okada's.
I'm looking forward to this.
Okay, let's move on.
Third member of the third group, Mr. Waga, please.
Here we go.
It's Ms. Taguchi Manaka.
Ms. Taguchi Manaka of Team AKB48 is in the third group.
She's in the third group.
I don't know if there are a lot of AKB members.
There are a lot of them.
I think there are a lot of rock-like girls.
In terms of genre, there are a lot of girls who sing rock ballads.
Ms. Taguchi.
Is Ms. Taguchi there?
Or is it Kuu?
Okay, last up.
Fourth member of the third group, Mr. Kurosawa, please.

Wow!
That's what kind of group we are now.
Mr. Furuhata is here.
Mr. Furuhata!
The only member of SKE48!
Mr. Furuhata Nao is in the fourth member of the third group.
Yes.
This group is good at singing cool songs.
I think the key is how cool you can sing.
Mr. Furuhata...
If you go well...
I'll say it out loud, but it's Mr. Okada and Mr. Furuhata.
So it's about how well you can sing.
Yes.
If you sing a cool song, these two will be really cool.
Yes.
Also, you can choose a song and the atmosphere at that time.
You can sing in a live performance.
Not only this.
While looking at the whole thing, the judges will also judge.
I think these three still have a chance.
Yes.
Mr. Furuhata and Mr. Okada are in a very luxurious line-up.
That's right.
Yesterday, Erina Oda...
Yes.
She was doing a concert in a live band alone.
Yes.
So the live band rehearsal is already over.
I see.
So we don't know yet.
That's right.
We don't know yet.
Oda-san also has a great atmosphere.
Yes.
Then let's take a look at Twitter's impressions.
Yes.
Here it is.
Mr. Furuhata joined just before Mr. Okada.
It's tough.
I'm sorry.
It's tough, isn't it?
I'm sorry, Furuhata.
I'm sorry.
This line-up is...
It can't be helped.
Yes.
But it's a mountain.
Yes.
It means you brought a mountain of programs.
It's more fun to watch.
Yes.
It's more fun to watch.
Yes.
Then here is another impression.
Here it is.
The second line-up is number three.
I'll be a finalist. I'll do my best.
This is Asai himself, isn't it?
Yes, this is Asai.
- Asai. - Asai's hair got cut off, didn't it?
- Yes, yes. - The atmosphere has changed a lot, hasn't it?
- There's a lot of enthusiasm. - Yes, there's a lot of enthusiasm.
As expected, the members are also paying a lot of attention and watching you.
It's like, "I'm really sorry."
- No, no, it's a group of people who want to win against anyone. - Well, that's right.
- Is the level going up at all this year? - Yes, that's right.
Now, let's go ahead and start the singing group drawing lottery.
The last one is the fourth group's lottery.
The first group of the fourth group starts with "A," so we'll start with you, Mr. Crosser.
Yes.
Oh.
Mr. Toyonaga. Can you see him?
The first group of the fourth group is "HKT48" Mr. Toyonaga Aki.
Mr. Toyonaga has changed his character a lot.
There have been a lot of rock songs so far, but I'm glad you're showing us that you can also do soft ballads.
"Mouthful of Cherry" was great.
It was good, wasn't it?
Shall we go to the second group of the fourth group, Mr. Waga?
Yes.
Yes, it's Mr. Iwatate Saho.
It's Mr. Iwatate. "HKT48" Mr. Iwatate Saho has joined us.
The second group of the fourth group.
The atmosphere is good.
It's in line, but shall we continue?
The third group of the fourth group, Mr. Crosser, please.
Oh, here...
It's Mr. Omori.
Yes, "HKT48" Mr. Omori has joined us.
And there is only one person left, but let's hear it, Mr. Owaga.
The only "NGT" left until the end is Mr. Himura Hino.
Yes, "HKT48" Mr. Himura Hino has joined us for the last time.
This is the 4th song.
I see.
This is also a good song.
Good song.
Not everyone is a high-toned singer.
But there are many people with a punchy voice.
Looking at the four groups as a whole, I think this will be a crucial match.
It was good, wasn't it?
As a result, it was good.
Looking at the four groups as a whole, there was also talk of a famous match.
Which one do you think will be interesting?
There are many people who have similar voices and favorite genres.
It will be a battle in those genres, so I think it will be a serious one.
And among them, there are people who are skilled and people who threaten new people.
They are mixed in a good way.
I think it's a lot of fun to watch.
But it's no coincidence that we're judging.
That's right.
It's hard to read.
That's right.
It's mixed in a good way.
But I'm happy about it.
Let's look at Twitter's opinions.
First of all, here it is.
Hino, it must be difficult to sing in front of Mr. Ikeda,
but do your best to be a finalist!
Mr. Himura's cheering voice.
But you're a finalist, aren't you?
That's right.
We sing together, so we might be able to relax.
Okay, let's move on to the next comment.
Here it is.
I want you to win this time for sure, Okada Nana!
Yes.
I've been training as a candidate for the championship for a long time.
Well, the result is really good at the preliminary stage.
So I think you can aim for the championship at all.
As his enthusiasm comment, it may be this time as well, but his enthusiasm has been conveyed.
No, no, I'm always more enthusiastic than usual.
I've been doing it from the second time.
I feel like I'm getting better and better.
That may really be the case.
Now, it's decided!
