AISubs v3.5
2022, AKB48 Rehabilitation Time.
I have no choice but to win.
This is my fourth time, and it's come to a point where I have to win and fly alone.
The challenge is a passionate, serious battle.
Miracle-free drama where only the capable shine.
This time, I want to do my best to sing a song that reaches those who listen to me so that I can surpass myself in the third time.
Last time, I had too much feeling of "I have to win first place", and I felt like I couldn't give it my all.
This time, I want to enjoy and sing the music itself.
Everything is for this day.
With the singing voice you've refined, grasp the future!

Broadcasted live from Maihama Amphitiata.
I will be hosting this event. I am Kumazaki Kazato of CBS Announcers.
I will also be hosting this event. I am Shinohara Rina of CBS Announcers. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me.
Now, it is time for the fourth tournament.
The singer with the most attractive singing voice in the AKB48 Grape will be decided today.
Tonight, 92 people have successfully passed the preliminary round.
These 20 people will compete for the singing power No. 1 in this stage and live band.
Now, I would like to hear from some of you.
First place winner, Nana Ohada, how do you feel?
Thank you for having me.
I have competed in all three stages in Akasaka.
This is my first time competing in Maihama Amphitiata.
I am very nervous.
People are looking at me from all directions.
I think I have never felt like this before.
You are right.
People are even looking at my back.
I am very nervous.
What is your goal?
My goal is to be in first place.
However, there is a jinx that people who have been in first place in qualifying can not be in first place in the final round.
I am afraid of that, so I will do my best.
Thank you very much.
Next is the second place in the qualifying round.
I will aim for the second place.
How about you, Yura Ikeda?
Yes, I am Yura Ikeda.
Thank you very much.

I will do my best.
Thank you very much.
And the third place in the qualifying round is Amir Yamasaki.
Your graduation has also been announced.
This is your last appearance. How about you?
Yes, I am an idol who has grown up with this tournament.
This time, I would like to make this tournament a tournament where you can enjoy listening to me singing from the bottom of your heart.
Of course, my goal is to be in first place.
Thank you very much.
Finally, how about you, Honoka Yano of stu48, who is in fourth place in the qualifying round?
I'm very nervous when I'm talking, so I want to sing as soon as possible.
Thank you for your cooperation today.
Thank you for your cooperation.
And from each group, members are coming to support you.
Let me introduce you.
First of all, Mukaichi Mio from akb48.
Thank you for your cooperation.
This time, eight people have joined from akb48, so I would like to see someone win.
Good luck!
Next, from ske48, Ego Yuna.
Yes, thank you.
Today, Nao, who is the same age as me, is joining from ske48 alone.
I feel like I'm a class representative, but I would like to send power from the audience. Good luck!
Thank you.
Next, from nmv48, Maeda Reiko.
Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
nmv48, let's definitely reach the top! Good luck!
Next, from hkt48, Yui Koujina.
Yes, thank you.
Yes, I'm sure both of you, Aki-chan and Elle-chan, are nervous, but when I looked around, there were some fans who were shy, so please relax and have fun! I'm rooting for you!
Next, from ngt48, Miyu Fujisaki.
Yes, I'm Miyu Fujisaki.
Thank you.
From ngt48, Hino Mimura is participating alone, but I think there will be a lot of pressure, but all of the members of ngt are rooting for you, so good luck!
Thank you.
Finally, from stu48, Chiho Ishida.
Yes, thank you.
Yes, last time Yura Ikeda won, and this time too, I'm rooting for stu48 so that they can do a lot of activities! Good luck!
Thank you.
Everyone, please send Elle to your friends until the end!
Now, let me introduce you to the judges of this tournament.
First of all, Kaoru Kurosawa of Gosperars, who was in charge of judging the final tournament in three consecutive tournaments and gave us a group draw for this tournament.
Good evening, everyone.
No matter how many times I do it, I can't get used to it.
Maybe I'm the most nervous.
Yes, everyone, please do your best.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Next, in March of this year, which marks the tenth anniversary of their major debut, a solo concert will be held at the Nippon Budokan.
The singer is Ms. Oja.
Thank you for your cooperation. I'm Ms. Oja.
Everyone, please do your best!
Thank you very much.
And from the first time, the judge of the final tournament, Mr. Inoue Yoshimasa, who has produced numerous famous songs for the akb48 group.
Hello, I'm Inoue.
"Fortune Cookie" is not my song.
This is my fourth time as a judge, so I hope I can score points without getting lost.
Everyone, please do your best!
Thank you for your cooperation.
Finally, in charge of judging the qualifying round of this tournament,
Yumi Matsutoya and Kinki Kids will participate as chorus on the tour.
In addition, singer-songwriters Ami will teach "Nogizaka 46" and "Fishers".
Yes, I'm Ami. Thank you for your cooperation.
I'm very honored to be able to participate again from the qualifying round.
I would like to judge with hope that everyone can perform without regret.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Today, these four people will judge the final tournament.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Mr. Sakurosa, the final tournament is about to start. How do you feel about it?
I think it's technically the best in the past.
However, being a singer is quite a difficult job.
For example, if it's a drama, you have to do it in one go.
If it's a movie, you have to do it in a few minutes for two hours.
So, skill is actually only for making up a story.
So, I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of stories you'll make up for me today.
So, express yourself as much as you can.
Express your own singing voice and yourself as much as you can.
Good luck!
Thank you very much!
Now, I'd like all of you to stand by for singing.
Now, I'd like to explain the rules of this competition.
The rules will be explained by the AKB48 Group Sports Day and Rock-paper-scissors Competition's live MC,
DJ and narrator, Nobutake Ichikawa.
Ichikawa-san, please.
Thank you for having me.
Now, I'd like to explain the rules of this competition.
Rules
will be divided into four groups and sing-a-song judging will be conducted.
Judges will be given full marks for each group,
and two of the groups with the highest scores will advance to the finals.
The members who advance to the finals will be presented with one more song.
In the final sing-a-song judging, the member with the highest score will be the winner.
And for the members who won,
they will be presented with an original song produced by Yasushi Akimoto.
Now, in addition to the original song,
the eight members who advanced to the finals will be performed in a full band.
A finalist live will also be held.
In addition, there is also a special award for judges in this competition.
In the final competition, one of the eight members who did not advance to the finals
will receive a special award from the judges.
The members who have been chosen will perform in a finalist live.
Now, let's ask the cheering guest member Mukaichi- san as well.
How do you like this kind of live performance?
Yes, I think it's really happy.
For me, it's a dream stage that I can never stand on,
so I'm really envious of this live performance where only those who have been chosen can sing.
Well then, everyone, please pray and cheer for us.
Thank you in advance.
Now, it seems that the singer is ready.
with the hashtag #akb48singerpowerno.1 deciding line.
Now, who will be the singer of this tournament?
First of all, the first group, five singer judges.
The first group, AKB48 Ohtake Hitomi.
On the day we exchanged kisses,
I couldn't even see my mother's face.
I collected coins in my pocket
and counted our dreams one by one.
Look, that's our secret memory.
Where did it break, loveless?
We stared at each other as the sun set.
When we held our fingers, loveless,
I felt like time would stop.
Where did it break, loveless?
We stared at each other as the sun set.
When we held our fingers, loveless,
I felt like time would stop.
Where did it break, loveless?
We stared at each other as the sun set.
When we held our fingers, loveless,
you were always running, loveless.
Those eyes of yours are so dear to me.
The first group, second place goes to...
S.T.U.48 SIMIZU SARA!
The voice of the stars fading into the night sky,
and the light of the moon shining in the dawn.
Why does the sea we swam together
change its color in an instant?
I don't want to fall asleep like this.
I want to feel you again.
If you're lonely,
you can't even stay by my side,
but you know of the pain you lose,
and you pray you can grasp other love.
When you want to cry or when you're in pain,
remember me and I'll be fine.
A place we can lean on on a distant summer day,
warmth and joy in life,
everything in our hearts.
First group, third member...
AKB48 Murayama Yuiri.
In this repeating world, if I reach out my hand many times
Will my fleeting tears melt your black heart?
If my feelings for you started to bloom and resounded in my heart
I'll stay by your side and protect you forever
If I pick up the fallen hope and connect it to tomorrow
Even my twisted wishes will come undone
I looked up at the light and erased my hesitation
What I wanted to give you was a crying night in the future
As I cried, I cried out my grief
The footsteps I took and my ideal gently healed me
I'll firmly grasp and move forward with a certain bond
No matter where it is, I'll carry the dirty miracle with me
If you taught me the reason I'm here now
I can be strong and never change
Holding up the light, I erased my hesitation
What I wanted to give you was a future
Crying nights, still blooming
Screaming grief
Stepping in, the ideal of poison gently heals
Grasping firmly and moving forward
Anywhere
Opening up all my doubts
Shaking them off and reaching out my hand
With a miracle that has been defiled
First group, fourth member is...
NMB48 I Shion
When I flew away, you said you wouldn't come back
And you aimed for that blue, blue sky
I still can't remember the sadness
But now I'm starting to grasp the pain
The feelings I asked you for
Are now turning into words
From a dream of an unknown world
I wake up, spread my wings and fly away
You said you wouldn't come back if you flew away
But you aimed for that white, white cloud
Knowing you'd find me if you broke through
That blue, blue sky was so blue you could shake it off
I knew it would fall down,
but I kept chasing the light.
I said I couldn't go back if I flew away,
and I searched for that white, white cloud.
I knew I would find it if I pushed through,
so I shook it off.
That blue, blue sky.
Group One, Fifth Place is...
S.T.U.48 Yano Honoka!
The long road that leads to your heart
has always encouraged me.
It was a very, very steep and narrow road,
and now I'm going to pick you up.
Chasing my own big dream
has always been my job,
and making you happy.
That is my life motto from now on.
When I shed tears to learn of love,
and your eyes overflowed with tears,
I thought love's joy would be nothing more than
a thrill ride.
Standing still in the wind,
you finally found out
that you're just a woman from now on.
From now on, I'm just a man.
The first group of five people's singing assessment is over.
It was amazing, wasn't it?
I was already moved.
Well...
I was wondering if it was this high level from the beginning.
Well, I'd like to hear from you all.
You were the top batter.
Otake-san, how was it?
Yes!
Well, top batter...
On the contrary, I wasn't nervous at all.
Wow!
I had a lot of fun.
At first, I was wondering if you were singing in a quiet voice.
But your fans were watching you warmly.
Thank you very much!
I had a lot of fun.
Thank you very much!
First of all, thank you for your hard work.
Next up is STU48's Shimizu Sara-san.
How was it?
Yes!
I've been practicing very hard for today.
I was moved by this beautiful penlight.
I'm glad I sang well.
Thank you very much!
Next up is AKB48's Yuri Murayama-san.
How was it?
Yes!
I was very nervous.
But I had a lot of fun spending this luxurious time with my fans.
Thank you very much!
Next up is NMB48's Shion Lee-san.
Thank you for your hard work!
I wasn't as nervous as I was during rehearsal.
I was nervous because I was being watched by my fans.
But I was able to have a lot of fun being watched.
I had a lot of fun being applauded with my fans.
Thank you for your hard work!
The last one, STU48 Yano Honoka-san, thank you for your hard work!
Thank you!
When I sang "my home, amicia", I sang while thinking "it's round".
It was very pleasant!
Thank you!
Now, we will ask the judges as well.
Kurosawa-san, how was it?
Yes, I think all five of you were telling stories of songs.
Murayama Yuri-san, you had a wonderful sense of rhythm.
Thank you!
It's a very good point.
Thank you!
And Yano Honoka-san...
Yes?
You didn't just stretch out your voice when you sang.
Actually, you sang while keeping your mouth shut.
But you sang with your mouth shut.
It was wonderful.
Thank you!
All of you were wonderful in your own ways.
I really didn't like that I had to rank you.
So, I will rank you this time.
But, everyone, please challenge yourself again.
Even if you are eliminated in the preliminary round, please challenge yourself again.
You all think the same, don't you?
It was wonderful.
Kurosawa-san, thank you!
Next, Misouja-san, how was it?
Yes, I came here without any prior information.
I was surprised at your high level.
Everyone, thank you for singing such a wonderful song.
Shimizu Sara-san...
Yes?
You are very cute.
You are also 15 years old.
You are very cute.
You sang with such a firm voice.
You had such a powerful performance.
The atmosphere of the venue changed a lot.
Thank you!
It was wonderful.
Thank you!
Let's talk about the members in the cheering seats.
STU48 Chiho Ishida, how was it?
Yes! Everyone was really wonderful,
but STU48's Sara Shimizu and Honoka Yano
were very different from their usual cheerfulness,
and it was a great gap.
It was wonderful!
Thank you!
Next up is AKB48's Mikaichi Mion, how was it?
Yes! It was really wonderful,
especially Chake.
When I first saw her, I thought she was nervous,
but she looked like she was having a lot of fun singing.
I think that's why the atmosphere of the venue changed a lot.
As I was singing Yuiri's song, I was about to cry.
It was really wonderful!
Thank you!
This concludes the first group's singing assessment.
Everyone, once again, please give them a round of applause!
All right, let's go back to the under-evaluation. Next up is the second group of five people!
The second group. First up is HKT48 Elena Sakamoto.
It's a nostalgic pain, long forgotten
But when I saw you, I went back in time.
Don't ask me if I'm happy, aren't you good at lying?
I have friends, but I can't get excited like that.
Only lost dreams look beautiful
For some reason, the kindness that has passed, for some reason, the kindness that has gone too far, for some reason, the kindness that has gone too far.
sweet memories now
I wonder why only lost dreams look beautiful
The kindness that has passed is now sweet memories.
Second group. Second place is...
S.T.U.48 Kojima Aiko.
There were days when I was anxious because I couldn't see my heart.
I decided for myself the meaning of loving someone.
Believing in everything.
I promise you, I won't hesitate anymore.
I'll prove to you that I can become stronger.
Don't run away, face me.
You showed me your true form.
Believe in us, we can love each other.
Look at each other and pray for our wishes to reach the sky.
Two of us.
Two of our feelings have now changed into one.
Your precious love.
When I was young, I had a love of my own.
Now, I can strongly believe in it.
There can be truth.
A new beginning.
I want to be one with you.
Let's believe.
Because we're together, we can love each other.
To that sky, I hope my wish will reach you.
We look at each other and pray.
For the two of us.
Our feelings are now one.
Your precious song.
Second place and third place goes to...
AKB48 ASAI NANAMI.
Everytime I remember words I don't know
I reach out in the shadows
But maybe there are words I don't know when I'm alone
"Goodbye" was painful
"I love you" smelled distant
These feelings I can't put into words
Are very frightening but very dear
Why am I crying?
Why can't my heart answer?
Words aren't always easy
They're always out there, always piling up
I want to see you
I wrote and stopped writing
Unaddressed letters sway in the wind
To the city of people I want to reach
In order to convey the beginning of the end
To live and not to stop
In order to be proud of you today
I wonder if I'm crying too
I hope my heart can answer
Words don't always speak
They're always there, always gathering
I want to see you
In second place and fourth place is...STU-48 IMAMURA MITSUKI.
BEAUTIFUL RAIN
I've already messed up, I'm about to cry
You're a super sexy boy, even if you're shy
I know it's no good, but I'm waiting for you
It's the opposite, goodbye
I can't keep staring at you
More puri puri
More mochi mochi
A hot, hot boogie train
Everyone says it's boring
But it can't be helped
Because I love you
Until your dream comes true
I'll be waiting for you, boogie train
Tomorrow I'll be focusing on my transformation
I want to run, I want to race
Boogie boogie choo choo
I'm not crying yet
Let's connect, boogie train
Tomorrow is choo choo, merlion, kaido
I want to run, I want to go on a date
boogie boogie choo choo
I'm not crying yet, let's connect, boogie train
yeah!
My beloved choo choo, merlion, kaido
I want to run, you and me
boogie boogie choo choo
I'm not crying yet, let's connect, boogie train
yeah!
Second group, fifth member, NMB48 Yamasaki Amir.
I never once thought of you as a friend.
Since the day I met you,
things have changed,
but what hasn't changed
is you and me.
Until I couldn't see your hot way home,
I watched you until you became really small.
Even now, I still love you.
Even now...
Your summer hair cuts my cheek.
As I grow older, I'm sure I'll remember
your shadow and my words.
You love you love...
Until I couldn't see the hot way home
Until I was really small
I loved you
Even now, even now
Your crying face, your angry face
Your lips that touched mine all of a sudden
You promised me you'd be by my side
Your love, your love
I love you
Thank you for watching.
We've just finished judging the singers of "nikumime".
Everyone has come back to the stage.
Thank you for your hard work.
Now we'd like to hear from "nikumime" top butter, Sakamoto-san.
Yes.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
How was it?
It was amazing.
This is my fourth time here,
but it was the most fun and nervous I've ever been.
It was such a big venue and the air was so warm.
I was so happy to sing on such a wonderful stage.
Thank you very much.
Next, Koji Maiko-san, how was it?
Yes.
Since last year, I've been told not to be nervous in this venue.
But I feel like I was able to sing with all my heart.
I feel like I was able to sing while having fun for the first time today.
Thank you very much.
Next, Nanami Asai-san, thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
Well, I think this venue is the only place where you can't change anything in this atmosphere.
I was really nervous and kind of messed up,
but I think I was able to sing with all my heart,
so it was a really fun time.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work.
Next, STU48 Mitsuki Imamura. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much. I'm STU48 Mitsuki Imamura. Thank you very much.
Last year, I was in the cheering seat and watched everyone's performance.
This time, I was able to come to the stage like this, and I think I was able to sing in my own way because I wanted to enjoy the stage as much as possible.
Thank you very much.
And for this second group, the last one was Yamasaki Amiru. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work.
Yes, I'm very relieved now.
No matter how many times I stand up, I'm really nervous because of the airiness.
When I started singing, the fans' penlights were really bright red.
Thank you very much. I was able to relax and sing with a lot of fun. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work.
Then I would like to talk about it with the judges.
Inoue-san, how was it?
Yes.
Imamura-san, you sing at a restaurant every day, don't you?
A restaurant?
I was having so much fun that I thought I'd go there.
Oh, really? Please come.
You're really good at it, but you run away well with this rhythm.
You were pretending not to let me hear you sing well, but it's already transmitted to the judges.
Thank you very much.
In that sense, Yamazaki-san, you always chose songs like "You're good at singing", don't you?
Yes.
This year, you didn't do that on purpose.
You went beyond that and decided to buy your own original album.
You made a good decision.
Thank you very much. Please buy it.
Congratulations.
Please tell me the release date.
Right, everyone? I made a little mistake.
Yes.
But you're able to make various voices now.
Yes.
You know, you're growing up. Your height.
No, no.
You've been participating for many years now.
Yes.
I'm really happy to see you grow up, old man.
I'll work harder.
No, it's okay. You'll work hard again.
I don't know if it's this time or not.
Maybe next time.
Inoue-san, thank you very much.
How about you, Ami-san?
Yes.
It's the same with the previous group.
Everyone's level has increased dramatically.
It's hard to rate them, isn't it?
Yes.
It's hard, isn't it?
Right?
Kojima-san?
In the chorus, you released all your tension.
If you could do that from the beginning, it would be even better.
But in the end, only the song remains.
Yes.
I'm really glad.
Thank you very much.
Then I would like to talk to those in the cheering seats as well.
Maeda Reiko-san, how was it?
Yes, everyone is really amazing and I can't stop getting goosebumps from a while ago,
but Yamasaki Amiru-chan, this tournament is your last appearance,
and you really put all your feelings into the song, so I was very impressed.
Thank you very much.
So that was the second group of singer judges.
Everyone, please give them a big round of applause one more time!
Now, let's return to the singing judging. Next up is the third group of five!
The first one up is Kato Yuka of NMB48!
I just looked down and walked
I looked down at spring
How long has it been?
Cherry blossoms were waiting
I should be able to forget it soon
I hide it deep in my heart
I'm looking for you
On the side of a road like this, it bloomed
You're all alone, tied up
Sparkling and strong, strong
Like "do you know that it will wither someday?"
In this moment called "now",
I'm living fleetingly
I was just looking down and walking
I was looking down at spring
Hiding in the shadows of cherry blossoms
The white night star was swaying
I want to be a flower that blooms like a series of flowers that bloomed on this road
Even if I'm soaked in the rain, I don't change where I bloom and bloom proudly
When spring comes again, I want to see you
I've become stronger than I am now
The third group, second place goes to...
AKB48 Oda Erina!
THE END
I was a little impatient that you suddenly called me from the second line,
but it was right.
The sentence that started so you could talk to me
made my ears feel hot.
I was so happy that I covered my mouth with my right hand.
I was so embarrassed that I laughed many times.
My emotions shake beyond my will.
How many times, how many times, how many times
should I call you back?
But if I say it like that,
will you say "no"?
These words that are in my body are painful.
Many times, many times, many times
I tried to call you back, but when I did
Do you not like it?
Many times
It comes into my body
One day, one day, with time
Even if I want to pass you by, I can't say these words
Please, these loving words
Rather than you thinking of me now
I say goodbye
Third group, third member is...
AKB48 Taguchi Manaka!
Good morning. It's morning.
Well, it's not morning anymore. It's already noon.
It's time for me to go now.
Thank you for everything.
It was fun.
Bye-bye.
Look at me for the last time.
I didn't need anything from you.
I'm sorry for hurting you.
I'm sorry for tearing you up.
I'm sorry for walking with my head down.
I'm sorry for making you laugh.
I didn't want you to know how much it hurts.
How kind of you.
It hurts to say goodbye, it hurts to say goodbye,
it hurts to say goodbye, it hurts to say goodbye,
I wish you would have wanted to know.
The happiness you gave me, I won't forget it,
I won't forget it, I can't forget it.
In third place and fourth place is...SKE48 Furuhata Nao!
Please have pity on me
Please give me sadness like touching a fallen little bird
Tear up and look down and say you feel sorry for me
I don't care if I melt away in September
I don't care if my love gets dirty
Let's dance with our hands covered in mud
Let's eat up all the annoying worries
I hope it won't last forever
La la la...
The frightened bird couldn't say goodbye
It kept silent with love in its fist
Pretending to be kind
My my... It's a lie
No no no... It's no use
I'm badly hurt
I want to go to a gentle world
Let's melt into one
Let's take away hatred and love
In the sweet, sweet jealousy of confusion
Only sadness and grief are scattered
Desires and regrets are just filled up
Bonds are stolen
Even scars of distant spring days
Disappear
Eventually, in a dazzling dream
The decaying light should reach you
So please stay by my side, blinding with tears
Don't let go of my muddy hands
Just stay by my side forever
Don't let go of my hand forever
I love you
Third place and fifth place goes to…
AKB48, STU48, Nana Okada.
Fairytale is just like death
I can't sing it well in the corner of the room
On a foggy night, floating in the red moon
Look at me, don't look away
I was born in a dark iron cage
As I wish for the price of evil
Before justice is destroyed and divided between us
Let's pay the price of the galaxy together
Nameless monsters
Ah, God tells me the true world
Nameless Monsters
I was born amidst black iron bars
Asking for compensation for my evil deeds, I pray to you, my mother
Come, grant me justice
Before I'm destroyed and destroyed
I'll pay the price for my evil deeds
I'm a worthless, worthless monster
A dark rain, a black sky
I'm not desired
I've been denied
I'm a worthless, worthless monster
Come, grant me justice
Before I'm destroyed and destroyed
I'll pay the price for my evil deeds
I'm a worthless, worthless monster
Now, the third group's singing assessment is over.
Yes.
Thank you for your hard work.
Now, let's hear from everyone.
This group's top batter is Kato.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
How was it?
Yes.
I used to participate in this competition every time,
but I stopped in the preliminary round and was able to participate in the final round for the first time this time.
I was able to sing with such a wonderful scenery and live band members.
I'm glad I came here four times without giving up.
Thank you very much.
Now, let's hear from AKB48's Oda Erina.
Thank you for your hard work.
How was it?
It was a lot of fun.
Yes. Thank you very much.
I sang Aiko's song.
I wanted to be like Aiko, so I brought my hair closer to Aiko.
It's cute.
That's right.
So, I sang hard today with the feeling of becoming like Aiko.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work.
Next, let's hear from AKB48's Taguchi Manaka.
Thank you for your hard work.
This is the first time I've been on this stage.
I was so absorbed in the world view.
Until now, when I started performing, I wasn't nervous anymore.
But as I sang, my hands were shaking.
Is this place this amazing?
That's what I felt on stage.
Thank you.
Next up is Nao Furuhata of SK48. Thank you for your performance.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
I hope I was able to tell you that you were okay.
Thank you!
Lastly, we have AKB48, STU48 and Okada Nana. Thank you for your performance!
Thank you!
I get so nervous when I'm in a group.
I'm so nervous that I could die.
I think I was the most nervous I've ever been.
I'm sure you felt that way.
But you sang so well. Thank you!
Thank you!
Let's hear from the judges.
Kurosawa-san, what did you think?
I think each group has their own unique style.
I think you were able to show your own style.
It says "Nao Furuhata, you're like a ghost."
A ghost.
Your singing is amazing.
Thank you.
Okada-san, you could have chosen a song that you could hear better.
Yes.
To be honest, you don't have many melodies.
It's an ugly song.
But you took care of it with the chorus and perfect rhythm.
I thought it was wonderful.
Thank you!
It was fun listening to you.
Miss Ojo, what did you think of it?
Yes, I was able to listen to a wonderful song.
Taguchi Manaka-san, I thought your expression was amazing.
From the beginning of the line, you pulled me in.
There were mistakes and off-pitch mistakes, but you pulled me into the world so much that I didn't care about it.
I thought you were an artist.
Thank you!
Now, let's hear from the audience as well.
SKE48's Ego Yuna-san, what did you think of it?
Yes, I was nervous as I watched.
It wasn't just off-pitch mistakes, but I felt like everyone in the venue was absorbed in Nao-chan's world view.
It was a performance that made me want to listen to another song regardless of whether we were in the same group or not.
It was wonderful and I was moved.
Thank you!
This has been the third group of singer judges.
Please give them a big round of applause!
And now for the final singer review. The last group is the fourth group of five!
The first singer of the fourth group is HKT48 Toyonaga Aki!
The song is called "Toyonaga Aki" and it's based on the novel "Toyonaga Aki".
The song was written and composed by Toyonaga Aki.
The song is based on the novel "Toyonaga Aki" and it's based on the novel "Toyonaga Aki".
Until the day my wish comes true
I walk on a white road that hasn't been dyed red yet
The light in my heart won't let me see the future
Even in my cold, deep, closed heart
It continues to shine, small and strong
Memories, sadness, send us away to a brighter tomorrow
High up in the eastern horizon is a dawn far, far away
In the dark sky, the dawn quietly gave me just one ray of light
Fourth place and second place goes to...
AKB48 Iwatate Saho!
Feelings more than friends
I've kept them locked up in my heart
But my heart can no longer lie
Hiding behind these painful, sudden gestures
I try to make sure of your feelings
Things I haven't been able to say for a long time
Maybe you feel the same way as I do
I can faintly hear the noise of the city
There's only the two of us in this room right now
Your favorite coffee and the scent of cigarettes
Hiding behind this faint feeling
Just being kind isn't enough
I want to tell you the truth
Even if the world welcomes tomorrow's end
As long as you're here, I'm not afraid
I'll throw away the tears and lies of yesterday
And become a new me
This warm bond
Won't change
The shape of love
I'll be looking for your love
So we found the way, yeah
Love
Fourth place and third place goes to...
AKB48 Maho Omori.
No matter how many times I realize it, it's still overwhelming.
Now that I realize it, I've never been in love before.
Even if I pretend like I care about you, for some reason we're intertwined.
For some reason, I'm just letting you go. I thought that was fine.
I thought I had to change something.
You're always running away from me. That's so rude of you.
I'm tired of being alone at night.
Now that I realize it, I've never been in love before.
In this changing city, I'm caught in love.
Ecstasy...
Is it because you can't do it that you're falling for him?
Is it impossible for you to run away from the beginning?
It's not like that, is it?
I can't see anything through this dirty window.
Now you know what you should do, don't you?
I'm tired of being alone at night.
Now that I realize it, I've never been in love before.
In this changing city, I'm caught in love.
Ecstasy...
Fourth and fourth place is NGT48 Hino Mimura!
I had a dream
that I lived my life with high hopes
and that love was everything
God forgave me
I was young and full of courage
My dream was shining
and I could fly freely
I chased my dream with joy
A wolf's fangs drew me away
from my dream
I'm still waiting for him to come back
A foolish illusion, a small storm blows away
The life I dreamed of is now in hell
I will never have it again
My dream will never come back
In fourth place and fifth place is...STU-48 Ikeda Yura.
Thank you for watching.
As usual, the curtain rises and I sing a love song.
The message that arrived had a black cover.
I left it at the station you stopped at three years ago.
When the train started moving, I jumped on it alone.
Afternoon in a sunny city, I stood in front of the church.
I had no words to pray for.
In a dark waiting room, there's no one to talk to.
My song passes through your ears.
As always, a curtain opens and a dark thread falls down.
Even so, even today, I'm singing my love song.
"Love Song" Music & Lyrics by 40mP
Now, the 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round, the 4th group singing screening has ended.
First of all, everyone, thank you for your hard work!
Thank you for your hard work!
The top batter was Ms. Toyonaga. Thank you for your hard work!
Yes, thank you!
Last year, I was the overall top batter, so I wondered if I would continue to be the top batter, but I was very happy to be able to sing again at the official theater where I participated in this finalist live. Thank you very much!
Thank you for your hard work!
Ms. Iwatate Suzuki, thank you for your hard work!
Yes, thank you!
It was my first finalist this time, so my hands were shaking all the time when I was singing, and some of you may have noticed it, but I was so nervous, but I feel like I was able to do everything I wanted to express in this environment that is different from usual, so it was a lot of fun! Thank you very much!
Next up is Ms. Omori. Thank you for your hard work!
Yes, thank you for your hard work!
I was really nervous, but I was able to sing a song I love, so I'm very satisfied!
Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Mimura!
Hi, I'm Hino Mimura! Thank you for your hard work!
I sang "Yume Yaburete" from the musical "The Miserable",
and I hope I was able to draw you into the world of "Yume Yaburete".
I had a lot of fun! Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you for your hard work!
And finally, I would like to thank
STU48's Yura Ikeda! Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you for your hard work!
I'm the 20th out of 20 people,
and I'm glad I was able to sing the song!
Thank you for your hard work!
Let's hear what the judges have to say.
Inoue-san, what did you think of it?
Yes, well...
- Toyonaga-san... - Yes?
Well, you know, I was listening to other people's songs earlier, like their expressions and such...
But like, their lively voices and such...
I think it's because of their expressions and such...
Is it the same for you all? Is it the same for you too, Mimura-san?
- Well, of course they do have expressions, but like, their voices are good. - Thank you!
Like, even though it's "ii", it resonates.
I know it resonates with "aa", but "ii" is huge.
- Thank you! - Yes.
- Also, Iwata-san said she was nervous, but... - Yes?
- Like, it tickles a man's heart. - Thank you!
Even though you've sung so many songs together, I want to go to karaoke with you.
Thank you! I'm glad!
- Like, you're like Ito Tsukasa. Does anyone not know that? - I know!
- Also, like Ikeda-san, you're like Chihaki Naomi. - Thank you!
Like, you have such a strong voice...
So like, when you sing this song in the future...
If you have some sort of life-or-death experience...
Well, it might not be a good experience, but...
I thought it'd be even better if you could sing like you don't have a voice anymore.
Thank you!
- Thank you! - Thank you!
Next, how was it for you, Ami-san?
Yes, like, everyone was good in their own ways...
- But like, Ikeda-san... - Yes?
Like, even your breath is a part of the song...
So like, you don't bring back what you're listening to...
I felt that kind of power.
But like, you look like such a cute girl...
But like, you have such a strong voice...
Like, your eyes and ears are about to explode.
Yes, thank you!
Let's hear from the audience as well.
HKT48, Kojina-san, thank you for your hard work. How was it?
Yes, each one of you is really different and I think you're really wonderful,
but Aki-chan's song fits Aki-chan's atmosphere perfectly and your serious personality really fits the song.
Thank you very much!
And, NGT48 Fujisaki-san, how was it?
Yes, Hina-chan from NGT48, her facial expressions and singing,
all of Hina's feelings spread throughout the venue and it was really cool.
It was wonderful! Thank you!
Fujisaki-san's tears were also impressive.
And with that, this has been the fourth group of singing judges.
Everyone, once again, please give them a big round of applause!
And with that, all of the singing tests are over for now.
Mr. Kurosawa, how was it for you?
It was really high level.
To be honest, I don't want to rank all of the judges.
I think it would be better if we all did the finalist live.
But I couldn't do that, so I tried my best to rank them.
Personally, I'm in a position where I can't rank all of them.
So, we four tried our best to choose them.
I hope you won't complain about it.
And for those of you who came out today,
I hope you'll come out again for the next competition.
For those of you who come out every time and for those of you who come out for the first time,
I was able to face up to the song.
As a singer, I was really happy about it.
Thank you very much!
Now, out of the four teams,
two of you will be ranked higher and eight of you will advance to the finals.
And now, we will begin the singing tests.
In the meantime,
please take a look at the singing scenes of the 20 members who will advance to the finals.
I'm sure I'll create a gap between us
You know, I love you
Every time you spread out in my heart
Love overflows, and tears fall
"Friendship" is a very difficult game
I won't get in your way again
When it stopped raining and the stars fell
I got lost in my little room
Ah, I'll climb up a tetrapod
Staring at the top of it
Let's kick it into space
Your voice, your face, and your awkwardness
I hate it all, all of it
Like a dry flower
The days I spent with you will surely, surely, surely, surely
Be colored
Tomorrow, like usual, 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
When we hum the same song
Stay by my side
I wish
I'm glad I could meet your coolness and kindness
La la la la goodbye days
I'm being washed away by the crowd and I'm changing
Sometimes you scold me from afar
Your kindness locks me up
Before I knew it, a gap has opened and my heart is filled
The casual gesture of a sudden moment
Someday I'll talk about my dream
I want to stare at your face forever
I want to smile
Darling, I want you
I want to see you
I feel like I'm about to run into a heart-pounding love
You stand there like a lost child
I want you to reach me right away
Look at me more closely
Were those words too heavy for you?
Look at me more closely
If you hadn't said it, would you be here now?
I was the one who cried
The constellations of winter connected
I was staring at you so you wouldn't disappear from this sky
I believe
The days without you and this helpless laziness
My heart and body fight and I'm unreliable and I fall asleep
You, who seem like you've become a cat, please appear to me someday
Please dye my casual days in your color
You're everything
Stronger than you think
If it's a kind lie, I don't want it
What I want is you
I thought of you
Even on nights without you
I don't cry anymore
Because I'm doing my best
Because I'll become stronger
Even if I can't take your hand
I'm still in love with you
If my time stops
Oh goodbye days, now I feel like I'm changing
From yesterday until now, so long
Because I have the kindness that's not cool by my side
La la la la la with 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
Forever and ever
I hope it will continue
Even if I can't take your hand
I'm happy with you
If only my time would stop
My patience will one day bind me
So that endless waves will properly stop
So that my love for you will continue for a hundred years
Your voice, your face, your awkwardness
It's all, it's all not pretty
The days I spend with you, like a dry flower
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure they'll fade away
And now, the eight finalists will make their announcements!
Now, who are the top two in each group and eight finalists?
These eight will sing the second song in the final battle after this.

Now, let's hear what you have to say!
The first place goes to Ms. Yano!
Yes!
When I first heard about STU48...
I wanted to be in this group with just the two of us...
I thought it didn't matter which group I was in...
But when I heard about it and was relieved...
I was very happy!
I'm glad!
And the second place goes to STU48...
Ms. Shimizu, congratulations!
I'm happy! I will do my best!
Judges Kurosawa-san, these two have advanced from the first group to the final.
Yes, STU is strong after all.
Both of you had a completely different approach to singing, but both of you were wonderful, so this is a satisfactory result.
The final is also the final, or rather, the last eight remain, so I'm looking forward to the second song.
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Let's ask the cheering seats. STU48 Chiho Ishida- san, how was it?
I'm really happy!
I could feel your strong desire for the final from day to day, so I'm really happy!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Now, from the first group, STU48's two members, Yano Honoka-san and Shimizu Sara-san have advanced to the final. Please give them a big round of applause!
Now, we will announce the two members who will advance to the final from the second group. Ichikawa-san, thank you in advance!

STU48's...
Imamura Mitsuki!
And the second group, second place goes to...
HKT48, Elena Sakamoto!
And from the second group, Sakamoto Imamura has advanced to the finals!
First of all, both of you looked surprised.
How was it for you and Imamura-san?
Well, I was really surprised.
I'm standing here today because the judges chose me.
But I'm glad I was able to show my true self.
I'm really happy! Thank you!
Congratulations!
And the second place goes to HKT48, Elena Sakamoto! Congratulations!
Thank you!
When I finished singing and started talking, no one touched me.
I thought it was over and I was really depressed.
I was really surprised, but I'm glad I sang with confidence. Thank you!
Congratulations!
Now I'd like to ask the judges.
Miss Oja-san, how do you feel about the two of you advancing to the finals?
Yes, Imamura-san and Sakamoto-san in the second group,
as soon as you came out and sang, you had such a flowery performance.
I'm pleased with you.
Thank you!
Now I'd like to ask the audience.
HKT48 Kojina-san, how do you feel?
Yes! I'm really happy!
I've always been nervous.
It's finally New Year's Day today, or New Year's Day, but it's already open, isn't it?
That's how I feel.
Congratulations. I'm happy. Congratulations.
So, from the second group, we have Mitsuki Imamura and Elena Sakamoto.
The two of you will advance to the finals. Please give them a big hand!
Next, we will announce the two people who will advance to the finals from the third group. Mr. Ichika, please.
Then I will announce it.
The first place in the third group is...
SKE48 Furuhata Nao!
And in the third group, there is one more person who has advanced to the first place in the same group.
AKB48, STU48, OKADA NANA!
So, the two of you have advanced to the first place. Mr. Furuhata Nao and Ms. Okada Nana.
I did it!
So, the two of you have advanced to the first place.
I would like to talk about it in the order in which you sang, but...
SKE48's Furuhata-san, congratulations!
Thank you!
Is it okay that I didn't leave you behind?
Is that proof?
Thank you very much!
I don't think we've been in the same group before.
I don't think we have.
Thank you very much!
I will do my best after this. Thank you!
Congratulations!
And the first place in the same group is Ms. Okada Nana!
I'm really happy. I'm grateful for being in the first place in the same group.
I'm really grateful for being able to sing one more song.
I will sing my best until the end! Thank you very much!
So, Mr. Inoue, how did you feel about advancing to the final with these two in the same group?
Well, it's hard for me to rate you two.
Furuhata is a person who can sing properly.
Thank you for saying that.
But she can also do jump ropes.
This time and last time, she challenged herself and had a lot of fun.
I think everyone is satisfied with her.
It doesn't matter.
And you, Banaka-chan.
We're a Yoses family.
Let's do our best again next year.
Let's hear from the fans.
How about you, Mion Mukaichi and 48 AKB48?
It was such a shame to choose only two people for this third group.
They were all so wonderful.
But I'm satisfied with the choice of you two.
It was overwhelming.
Good luck in the finals!
Thank you.
Let's hear from Yuna Ego and 48 SKA48.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Yuna was alone.
So...
I'm glad.
My rank will increase, too.
I'll do my best to increase my rank!
I'm rooting for you!
Thank you!
Thank you, Yuna Ego.
The first place in the third group is Nana Okada!
Congratulations!
Please give her a big hand!
And finally, two people will advance to the final from the fourth group.
Ichikawa-san, please.
Then I will announce it.
The first place in the fourth group is...
STU48 Ikeda Yura!
And the fourth group, second place goes to...
NGT48 Hino Mimura!
Well, congratulations to the first place winner, STU48 Ikeda Yura!
Thank you very much!
Yes, well...
I was very nervous and anxious because I felt different from last time.
But I'm very happy to sing my second song like this.
I'll do my best!
Congratulations!
And the fourth group, second place goes to...
NGT48 Hino Mimura!
Congratulations!
Yes, NGT48 Hino Mimura!
Thank you very much!
This time, I passed the preliminary round.
I was recommended by the judges at the last 20 years.
I'm standing here now.
I was really frustrated at that time.
I'll do my best and win.
I'm glad I did my best and made a comeback.
I'm really happy.
I'll do my best with my second song.
Thank you very much!
Congratulations!
Now, Ms. Ami, how do you feel about the two finalists from the fourth group?
Yes, both Mr. Ikeda and Ms. Mimura were very wonderful.
After Ms. Mimura finished singing in the comments, she said that she was able to draw you in.
Both of you showed me everything from kindness to passion.
I'm really looking forward to the second song as well.
- Thank you very much! - Please do your best!
Now, let's hear from the cheering seats.
- Ms. Fujisaki of NGT48, how did you like it? - Yes!

Congratulations!
That's all for now.
The eight finalists will advance to the finals of the final round of the singing power number one final match!
Now, let's decide the order of singing in the final screening.
The eight finalists will be drawn a card with the order of singing written on it.
The person with the highest score in the second song screening will shine as the fourth singer.
Now, are you mentally prepared?
I would like you to draw a card.
First of all, we will have Ms. Honoka Yano of the first song screening draw a card.
- Ms. Yano, please stand in front of the card. - Yes!
- Wow, you can choose as much as you want. - If you are ready, please! - Yes!

Ikeda Yura is in 5th place.
Hino Mimura is in 8th place.
I have something to say at the end of the show.
The order was decided in a blink of an eye.
The final of the 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Finals will be held in the order above!
Now, I'd like you to go back to your seats for a moment.
Please give a big round of applause to the 12 people who showed us their wonderful singing voices.
Thank you very much.
Everyone, thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work.
My heart is already full.
That's right.
The level is too high for me to be overwhelmed.
Then, I would like to use this time to hear from the members as well.
Mukaichi-san, how about up to here?
Yes.
As expected, S.T.U. is really strong.
But, from AKB, Naachan is the only one who made it to the finals.
So, I would like Naachan to win for the fourth time.
Good luck, Naachan!
Then, SKE48's English Yuna-san, how about you?
Yes, how about you?
That's right.
Just hearing the name "finals" makes me really nervous.
But, when I look at them, each and every one of them is drawn into a wonderful world.
It's like I'm at a concert.
I'm enjoying watching them.
I thought Naachan would definitely be the lowest.
Yes, I hope you'll do your best, top batter!
Then, NMB48's Maeda Reiko-san, how about you?
Yes.
All of them were so wonderful.
It ended in a blink of an eye.
No one made it to the finals of NMB48.
But, I think the three of them showed their charms to the fullest.
I'm going to drink a lot of beer later.
Yes.
Next, HKT48 Koujina Yui, how was it?
Yes, this is the first and second time for me to be on the show.
It was my first time as a guest of support, so I came here with the intention of relaxing.
I was very nervous and excited when I was watching.
Eight members have just been selected for the final, so I hope they won't be drawn into Nao's worldview and create their own worldview.
Good luck!
Next, NGT48 Fujisaki Miyu, how was it?
Yes, this is the first time for me to be on this final night.
After all, I think the singing voices of those who advance to the finals are really amazing.
Recently, I haven't been able to do activities beyond the limits of the 48 groups, but I was really stimulated and I thought it was amazing.
I think there will be pressure because Hino-chan from NGT will finally participate in the final, but I hope you will do your best!
Finally, STU48 Ishida Chiko-san, how about you?
Yes, this is the first time for me to be on the show, but I didn't think it would be so exciting.
I'm really looking forward to seeing a lot of STU48 members after this.
Yes!
Thank you!
Now, everyone, it will finally be the final after this!
The members with the highest score will shine in the glory of the fourth singer princess, who will conduct the singing test with eight people who have advanced to the final.
Now, let's go!
The final singing test of the 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Decision Match Finals!
AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Decision Match Finals!
The final singing test.
The first one is...
The 3rd AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Decision Match Finals!
SKE48, Nao Furuhata!
Now, before you sing, Ms. Furuhata...
Oh, no! I'm a little nervous!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry for being so sudden!
I'm embarrassed!
I was singing with all my heart!
I'm sorry!
I'm embarrassed!
This is my style of singing in the finals.
I'm sorry for being a top batter for the first time.
I'm sorry!
This is the second song.
Please face forward.
How do you feel now?
It's not easy for a top batter to win first place in a world contest.
I want to break that jinx today.
I'm here to win first place.
I'll do my best!
Thank you!
Now, let's have Ms. Furuhata sing.
The song is "You".
(upbeat music)
(singing in foreign language)
At that moment when the veil was cut off, it seemed like you were separated from the world.
If the scenery in front of you smiles sadly, close your eyes without fear and fly away.
Come, everyone, this way, please, a child's dance.
Jump into the mirage and overcome the busy world.
La la lai la lai, I want to know love that doesn't stop and wish for a magic that doesn't end.
From morning till night that has passed time.
La la lai la lai, I want to know you but I hope that time won't wait for anyone
so that I won't reach you.
A cruel fate, a fate that cannot be resisted,
even if it's a youth that wants to protect your thoughts,
even if you can't see what's in front of you, I want to believe in you.
If you look at hip-hop without fear...
Come, everyone, this way, please, a child's dance.
Jump into the mirage and overcome the busy world.
La la lai la lai, I want to know love that doesn't stop and wish for a magic that doesn't end.
I reach out my hand to you.
La la lai la lai, I want to know you but I hope that time won't wait for anyone
even if it's a youth that doesn't want to fall in love.
If it's a dream, don't wake me up.
Reality doesn't have eyes or ears.
No one will wait for me then.
Let's ask the judge, Kurosawa-san. How was it?
It's my first time... I've been a judge for three times.
It's my first time listening to a song and I can't stop getting goosebumps.
Thank you.
Her songs are already...
They have the right pitch and good rhythm.
She has surpassed that.
She has surpassed it, but...
Here you have to match the rhythm.
Here you have to match the pitch.
She decides all of that.
I think she's already at the next level.
It was really wonderful.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
I'm happy.
That's all for Furuhata Nao-san's singing assessment.
Everyone, please give her a big hand!
Now, let's move on to the second singer review.
The final singer review, second place goes to...
second group, second round,
HKC48,
Elena Sakamoto!
Thank you!
Now, let's ask Sakamoto-san as well.
Yes.
Please tell us what you think about the song you're about to sing.
I really like this song.
Until now, I've chosen songs that fit my voice or songs for me to win,
but this is the first time I'm singing a song I've always liked and wanted to sing for a long time,
so I hope I can sing it with you all!
Now, let's have Sakamoto Elena-san sing for us.
The song is "Blue Bird".
When dark clouds flow by, when this sky stops crying,
I wake up to your voice, and after a little while of sleep,
you gently watch over me with your wings on your back.
I wait for the season for us to take off.
Let's go together to the blue sky, while looking down at your white smartphone.
"I don't need a difficult story, as long as you smile for me," you said and laughed at me.
You gently watched over my back wings,
waiting for the season to take off.
Let's walk together in the blue sky, looking down at the white sand beach.
"I don't need a difficult story, as long as you smile for me," you said and laughed at me.
Let's walk together in the blue sky, no matter where we end up.
If you ever get hurt, I'll give you my wings.
You said that and cried a little.
Without stopping, I also cried.
Sakamoto-san, thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Please tell me how you feel now after singing.
It was great! I had a lot of fun! Thank you very much! I'm happy!
I'd like to ask Miss Princess as well. Sakamoto- san, how did you like her singing?
Yes, it was a very flowery singing voice and performance.
I had a lot of fun watching it and I was able to cheer up.
It was wonderful. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
That's all for Sakamoto-san's singing assessment.
Everyone, please give her a big hand!
Thank you very much!
Now, I'd like to move on to the third singer assessment.
The final singer assessment.
The third singer is...
First group.
Second class.
STU48.
SIMIZU SARA.
Now, SIMIZU SARA-san.
Yes!
Before you sing, please tell me how you feel about the song you're about to sing.
That's right. Today, I'd like to sing with gratitude for the fans who have supported me so far.
I'll do my best!
Now, let's have SIMIZU-san sing.
The song is "How Far I'll Go".
"How Far I'll Go" by SIMIZU SARA.
I've been staring at the waves coming towards me all alone, not knowing anything.
That's right, I want to live up to your expectations.
But before I know it, I'm already at the beach.
No matter which path I take, I'll always end up at the same place.
I won't be forgiven for longing for a distant sea.
How far is it from where sky and sea meet?
If I chase the wind and start walking, I'm sure I'll know.
How far can I go?
That's right, everyone seems very happy.
Do you know that?
That's right, having your own place is such a wonderful thing, isn't it?
As I continue on this path, what I want is the same, but what resonates in my heart is a different song.
The shining sea is calling me.
It's calling me to come and find it quickly.
Tell me, what is waiting for me there?
How far is the place where sky and sea meet?
As I continue on this path, surely I will go there.
Shimizu Sara-san, thank you very much!
Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you very much!
How did you like singing?
It was very pleasant!
Thank you very much!
Let's ask the judges, Inoue-san. How was it?
I could see the sea of Setouchi.
You can't grow up in Tokyo like this.
Your voice grew so much and it was very pleasant.
Thank you very much!
That's all for Shimizu-san's singing assessment.
Everyone, please give her a big round of applause!
This has become an incredibly high-level final.
Let's continue.
Let's move on to the fourth singer assessment.
The fourth final singer assessment is...
First group, first place passers-by,
STU48, Yano Honoka.
Just a moment, please.
Well then, Yano Honoka. Are you still okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
Are you okay with your feet?
I'm okay.
Yes.
Before you sing, please tell me how you feel now.
Yes, well...
Well...
I decided to sing this song after I became a singer at MyHama Amiciata.
The song I'm going to sing now is the song I chose because I thought it was perfect for singing here.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Well then, Yano Honoka, please sing for us.
The song is "Aetakute Ima".
Aetakute Ima
Do you remember the day we first met?
Don't forget the memories of the passing days
I want you to feel everything you're looking at
Now that you've looked up at the sky, are you watching over me?
Tell me
I want to see you now
There are many things I want to tell you
Hey, I want to see you
I want to see you
I'm sad that I can't find you
Where are you?
Hold me tight
See you again
I'll always be right here
Even if fate can't be changed
There's something I want to tell you
I want to go back to that day and that moment
If I could make it come true, I don't need anything
I want to see you now
There's so much I want you to do for me
Hey, I want to see you, I want to see you
I couldn't do anything about it, I wished it were all just a dream
My heart is still always thinking of you
All of me
Thank you very much.
That was Yano Honoka.
Thank you very much.
Can I ask you something?
How did you feel when you sang the song you wanted to sing in this place?
After all, in this situation, there are fewer opportunities for everyone to meet.
But it's not anyone's fault.
Where should I hit this frustrating feeling?
I thought I'd hit the song and sing it.
I'm really happy to meet you all in this place today.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you very much.
How about you, Ms. Ami, the judge?
Yes, it was pure and I wanted to meet you now.
I felt the charm of purity that doesn't disappear even if I put it up.
I want you to meet me soon.
Thank you very much.
That's all for Yano Honoka's singing evaluation.
Please give her a round of applause.
Thank you very much, Yano-san.
Let's move on to the fifth singer evaluation.
The fifth singer evaluation is...
The fourth group, DC currency, stu48, Yura Ikeda.
Well then, Ikeda Yura-san, before you sing, please tell us what you think about the song you are going to sing.
Yes, this song is amazing.
I met this song when I decided to participate in this competition.
I really love this song and I chose it with the feeling of wanting to deliver it.
I would like to deliver the singing voice I have now. Thank you.
Well then, Ikeda Yura-san, please sing.
The song is "Be a Flower".
Are you smiling now?
What kind of breath are you taking now?
While being strong against the crowd,
you must be walking so you won't lose, right?
Even if you're just a step away,
you won't lose your way in life.
Live on!
Right now, we're looking up at our own skies in the wind.
It's okay to get hurt.
It's okay to cry.
Because somewhere, there's an answer.
Don't give up!
No matter what tomorrow brings,
your life will shine strongly
as much as it's painful.
Even we, who stand in the wind, can become flowers.
Live on! Right now, we're in the wind, looking up at our own skies.
It's okay to crash, it's okay to cry, because there's always an answer.
Don't give up! No matter what tomorrow brings,
your life will shine strongly, no matter how painful it is.
We, who stand in the wind, can become flowers.
Ikeda Yura-san, thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
Please tell me how you feel now that you've sung.
Eh, it's like...
I feel refreshed.
I think it's the first time I've revealed myself and sung.
It was a great time.
Thank you very much.
Let's ask the judges, Kurosawa-san.
How was it?
Yes, eh...
Last year, when I produced "Nonah Diamonds"...
Yes.
Ikeda-san has the image of Natsumero, but...
Yes.
I've said many times that you can sing anything.
Yes.
But you proved it yourself today.
Eh, really...
Thank you very much.
Your expression is also different.
From falsetto to changing your own voice...
You showed me a new way of singing.
I'm very happy about it.
Thank you very much.
That's all for Ikeda-san's singing assessment.
Everyone, please give her a big hand!
Thank you very much!
The fifth, Ikeda Yura-san's assessment is now complete.
Now, let's move on to the sixth singer's assessment.
Final singer assessment.
The sixth singer is...
Second group, first place...
S.T.U.48, Mitsuki Imamura.
Well then, Mitsuki Imamura.
Yes!
Please tell me your feelings for the upcoming song.
Yes! Well, I sang Aiko's "Boyfriend" in the preliminary round, and I intended to change my taste a little,
but this preliminary round and the song before that continued with an exciting song,
so I chose it because I wanted to show a different charm next time.
Well then, Ms. Imamura, please sing for us.
The song is "A Woman Needs Jazz".
You were there, I was with you, I don't need anything else
If it's just the two of us, with you
I felt like I was full all the time
Now I'm watching alone
The night sky illuminated by the moon
The glitter of countless stars
This is a woman's chance, a woman's chance
Make my wish come true
Take me somewhere and invite me
To a place where new encounters await
Have you noticed yet?
The light that lets you know of the morning
and the colors of the winds
That is...
a humanist jazz
It's past the time of dreaming
But it's like my heart is beating
It's like I'm in pain
We'll meet again in the nostalgic future and I say
Life is good
A humanist jazz
a humanist jazz
jazz
I'm glad I was able to sing it! Thank you!
Ms. Oja, what did you think of it?
Yes, I think Imamura-san has already established her own style.
Thank you!
With her idol-like looks and singing voice, but also her singing ability,
I thought she was someone who would instantly fascinate the audience.
It was a wonderful performance.
Thank you!
That concludes the singing assessment by Ms. Imamura.
Everyone, please give her a round of applause!
Thank you!
In no time, we've finished with six candidates.
Next, we'll move on to the seventh candidate for singing assessment.
7th place goes to AKB48, STU48 and OKADA7!
OKADA-san, before you leave, could you tell us how you feel about the song you're going to sing in the future?
Yes, I've already sung all of it up until the 4th time.
Until now, I've been thinking about how I'd like this event to be fun and exciting.
But for the 4th time, I've been thinking about how I'd like to be the star of the show.
This year's event was a little selfish.
But when I thought about it, I was so nervous it was crazy.
So for now, regardless of winning or 10th place,
I'd like to enjoy singing on this stage I'm on now and sing as hard as I can.
OKADA-san, please sing for us.
The song is unfinished.
If you want me to run away, I want you to destroy it all, everything.
Throw away the past and laugh it away.
It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
Tell me it's a lie, push me away, so I won't dream anymore.
If my emotions that have lived too long go crazy,
I'd rather erase them from the world.
But I'm incomplete. I don't know what to do.
If you can't save me, don't be born.
Stop love and run away from me. You can deny me of everything.
At this rate, I'll destroy you. It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
Don't ever look back and be happy.
I'm sorry for loving you like this. You're free now.
Everything pushes me forward and pulls me back.
Now, please give me back my normal days that won't stop.
I want to end it. I can't end it. It's fine, you decide.
Stop loving me, run away from me, I want you to destroy me, everything, everything
Throw away the past, laugh it off, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine
Don't look back ever again, become happy well
I'm sorry for loving you like this
Stop breathing, run away from me, I want you to forget me, everything, everything
No matter where you live, I love you, I love you, I love you
The world that only we can see seems like it's gone too far
"I'm glad I met you" you say with a smile
You're free now
Nana Okano, thank you very much.
It felt really good. Thank you very much.
How do you feel now that you've performed on stage?
Well, I've been on all four shows so far, and every time I was so nervous and trembling and scared.
I was also afraid of being assigned a great position, and there were times when I thought it was a little painful every time.
But I think it made me stronger because I was able to listen to so many people's songs and get advice and really grow up.
No matter what the result is, I feel like it was fun. Thank you very much.
Now, I'd like to have a word from judge Inoue as well.
Okada-san, please stay there for a while.
I was like, "Come on, hurry up and do it."
I've seen it four times, but in the finals, you know, you run away from a cheerful song or a lot of falsettos.
Why don't you choose a song like you did in the preliminaries?
You know, you have a sense of service, and you're next to your friend who's winning, and you're glad you won.
You know, you're comforting him in the dressing room.
I'm happy you're here today.
I'm really proud of you for being in the AKB family.
Thank you very much.
Now, that's it for Okada Nana-san's singing assessment.
Everyone, please give him another round of applause!
Now, let's move on to the final singer evaluation.
Final singer evaluation. Eighth.
The fourth group.
Miitsuka.
NTT48.
Himura Hino.
Now, Himura-san, before you sing, please tell me your enthusiasm and feelings for the song you are about to sing.
Yes, this song was recommended to me by a boy training teacher in Niigata when I was confused about which song to sing.
For me, it is a challenging song because it is simple, so I don't know how far it will resonate with you, but I am confident that I will sing it to the end.
Now, Himura-san, please sing for us.
The song is "Anata".
Anata
If only I could build a house
If only I could build a small house
A big window, a small door and an old fireplace in the room
A red rose and a white punchbag and you, you, you are next to me
That was my dream
My beloved you are here now
And I'm sewing a lace
Next to me, next to me is you, you, I want you to be there
And I'm sewing a lace
Next to me, next to me is you, you, I want you to be there
Mimuro-san, thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Please tell us how you feel now, after singing for us!
Yes...
Yes, thank you very much!
Well, I'm a little worried about some parts...
Actually, I originally sang "haru dokoro" in my own voice.
I was like, "I can't do this anymore"...
I sang it with confidence, so I wouldn't regret it, but now I'm regretting it!
Oh well!
Thank you!
What did you think of your performance, judge Ami- san?
Well...
Maybe...
The scenery that Mimuro-san is looking at...
Has reached me as well!
Thank you very much!
But the key is also high...
So I thought it would be scary...
But you let me hear it so loud...
It was wonderful!
Thank you very much!
And with that...
Mimuro-san's singing evaluation ends here!
Everyone, once again, please give her a big round of applause!
Thank you very much!
Now, with this, the singing evaluation of all eight finalists has ended!
Once again, for all eight finalists, you have returned to this stage.
Now, with everyone here, once again, judge Kurosawa-san!
How was the final?
Yes, well, to be honest, for me personally, there is no difference at all.
The judges are disqualified.
Basically, you have to make them disperse.
Well, for me personally, there are three people with 99 points.
Disqualified.
But, really, it was such a wonderful final singer, wasn't it?
I've been participating since the second time and I'm really proud of it.
I'm glad! It's wonderful, everyone!
Next, we will talk about the cheering seats as well.
How about you, Mukaichi-san of akb48?
Yes, I cried too much in the middle and my face is in trouble now,
but I thought the power of singing was wonderful and I was envious of how good I was at singing.
It was really fun! Thank you!
Next up, ST48 Ishida-san with many members remaining in the finals! How was it?
Yes! Usually, I haven't had a chance to hear one person's singing voice so well,
but this time, I heard everyone's singing voices again and I was really excited and it was really wonderful!
Thank you very much!
Now, everyone, finally, after this, the fourth singer will decide!
We will now collect the singing judging.
In the meantime, please watch the song "Hajimari no Uta" by the finalists of all competitions, nine people. Please!
The beating of my heart drew me to a faraway place.It never stopped, the beating of my heart drew me to a faraway place.
A showtime that suddenly starts without notice
The center stage gathers, a bursting smile
Memories of my childhood, love stories I admired, such an unforgettable encounters.
This phrase is for you, this melody is for me
When they overlap, my feelings are painted blue
I see, I must have wanted to sing it
It was so dazzling that I wanted to time it out that I stretched out my hands
So that the song of the beginning will always echo in my heart
Our own future that will never end, no matter where it is
The spotlight pouring in, a chance arrives in the month
He heads for the center stage, large and dark.
The situation is too dramatic and scary
I can't go back and forth anymore I can't go back and forth anymore
The protagonist is me, repeating and telling me
Towards the shining light, start running now
I wanted to laugh like this
Because emotions pile up and overflow
Hajimari no uta ga itsumamademo So that the song of the beginning will always
My heart resounds in my heart
My feelings won't stop no matter where
Our own future Watashitachi dake no mirai Our own future
No matter how much I reach out and pursue it
There's something I can't reach out for
Yet why can't I give up?
May the song of the beginning reach the world forever and ever May the song of the beginning reach the world forever and ever Owaranai hibi wa dokomademo The never- ending days will go on forever and ever wa shinai only for us, we won't talk anymore Our Story only for us
Hibike hajimari no uta Resound, song of the beginning

Yes, well, we don't know anything about 1st or 8th place,
but we have our own will for this special judges' award.
And it's for the future.
And her good fortune is a gift.
Even if you try to give it away, you can't.

Mr. Ichika, thank you for your cooperation.

stu48...
Yano Honoka!
Yano-san, congratulations!
Yano-san, how do you feel now?
Well, I was aiming for the championship, so to be honest, it's frustrating, but I'm relieved to be called in third place. Thank you very much!
Ms. judge Misouja, how was this third place Yano- san's singing ability?
Yes, it was a very relaxed singing voice, and it was a singing voice that made me want to listen to this song for a long time, and I fell in love with it from the first chorus.
Then I would like to hear from one more person.
What should we do? Mr. Inoue, please.
Yes, thank you.
No, I don't care who takes it.
If you say it like this.
I'm like that.
Well, I'll put in my expressive power for the time being, but at the end of the day, I've set up that kind of item like singing voice, so it's only self- determination and prejudice.
There's love and hate in it, so in the sense of singing power, everyone has really jumped through it, so please go home with confidence no matter what rank you are in.
Now, the 4th AKB48 GROUPE SINGING POWER NO. 1 Final Round 3rd Place is...
stu48 yano honoka-san.

This competition is amazing.
I've been participating in it since last year.
It's amazing...
It's a very different feeling from my first time participating in it.
I was very anxious, too.
But...
It's the first time I've revealed myself and sung like this.
So I have no regrets!
Thank you very much!
Now, the judge, Ami-san, what did you think of Ikeda- san's singing?
Yes, seeing her crying like this, I'm relieved that she's a middle-aged woman.
If I were to just sing a song, Ikeda-san would say "How many times in your life have you done this?"
I think she's someone who can sing wonderful songs. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much!
Now, the cheerleader, Steve48, Ishida-san, what do you think of this result?
Eh, I don't know...
Eh, but I really want to say "Thank you for your hard work."

Ms. Okara, please let me know how you feel now, after you've cleaned up your mind.
Huh? Um... Huh? Are you sure you're okay? Are you really okay? Um...
Um... Thank you so much!
I never imagined I'd make it this far in all the tournaments I've been in.
But this event really strengthened me and helped me grow.
I'm glad I didn't give up and made it this far every year.
I can't believe there are so many STU48 members in the finalists.
As a parent, I'm really happy about it.
The members of AKB48 were able to make it to the quarterfinals many times in the fourth round.
I can feel the growth of the group.
I want to stand up and do my best again this year!
I want to work hard with everyone.
I'll do my best to make the group even better.

Congratulations!
Ms. Mukaichi Miyamoto of AKB48, please let me know how you feel!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Na-chan, you really are amazing! You're so strong!
That's what I thought.
Why am I crying like this?
No, I always feel like I'm next to an amazing person.
And that final song you sang, "Unfinished" (Unfinished),
not only as your idol, but also as a human being,
I was really moved by it.
Congratulations on winning!
Thank you!
Okada Nana-san, who has won, will receive the trophy!
The judge, Kurosawa Kaoru-san, will receive it.
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Yes.
As you all know, she has faced many things and is serious about it.
In this competition, she has faced singing more than anything else.
Finally, I think this result came about because she faced singing.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Thank you very much, Kurosawa-san!
The winner of the 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round is...
Okada Nara-san!
Everyone, please give her a big round of applause!
Okada-san, after receiving this trophy, would you like to say a few words?
Once again...
Yeah...
No...
It's already...
I'm still wondering if it's okay for me to do it myself, while still feeling this weight.
But now that I've received this trophy,
I feel like I have to continue to work hard so that I won't be ashamed of this result.
I'll work harder so that I won't stay here and grow bigger.
Everyone, thank you very much for today!
Thank you very much!
Now, it's time for us to say goodbye.
Lastly, everyone who participated in today's finals will perform their songs.
Everyone, please stand by!
And now, I'd like to use this time to announce the winner of "Shinohara Announcer".
Yes, on February 23rd, "CS Broadcast" will broadcast a documentary special broadcast that is closely related to the story of the stage on tbs channel 1.
For more information, please check out the official twitter of the program!
And now, we have all the members who participated in today's broadcast.
The last song we will be singing is an AKB48 song.
The performance will of course begin with Nana Okada's solo performance.
Please tell us how you feel about winning!
And now, please listen!
"Kamihikouki" from March 65th!
Looking up at the morning sky, I softly wished for today to be filled with smiles.
Sometimes it rains and my tears overflow,
but on days when things don't go as planned, I'll work hard tomorrow.
The dream I've always had is for me to be alone
and do what I want to do as freely as I like.
Life is like a paper airplane that flies with a wish on board.
In the wind, all you can do is just move forward as much as you can.
Rather than competing for that distance, it's more important where you flew and how you flew.
Now, just as your heart desires, March 65th!
Life is like a paper plane, carrying your wishes and flying away.
As far as you can in the wind, just keep moving forward.
How did you fly? Where did you fly?
That's what's most important.
Now, just as your heart desires, March 65th!
Go ahead and fly! Try flying!
That was the 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round!
The winner is Nana Okada!
Okada-san, please say a few words!
Yes! I will continue to sing my favorite song!
Everyone who has supported me, thank you very much!
I will continue to do my best! Thank you!
Okada-san, congratulations!
Thank you!
And thank you to the members who participated, including the preliminary round!
Thank you to the judges!
Well then, everyone, goodbye!
Bye bye!
