AISubs v3.5
I've been crying for a long time, but I wanted you to see it with your own eyes.
I'm sorry.
At first, AKB was really a rival.
There's so much potential, but there aren't many times when you can show it.
AKB Kousaki Dojo
I want to leave as I like.
AKB Kousaki Dojo starts today.
The first episode is a special edition.
Director Soh, Minami Takahashi will talk about AKB48 and love.
I'll tell you everything about me.
Whether it's a boy or a girl.
Fans ask me a lot of things because I'm Director Soh.
This program's general director, Terry Ito, is approaching.
When will Takahashi graduate from AKB48?
In the studio, Minami Minegishi will be the first MC.
You're an MC, right?
Can you do it?
I can do it.
I don't want you to underestimate our Minegishi's potential.
I don't know what you're talking about.
This week's narration is brought to you by me, Team A, and Kawaii Arina.
Ah! Larry-san, good morning!
How are you?
I'm fine!
During the day, don't you feel like you're outside?
Not at all.
I can't feel the air outside at this hour.
That's right.
In the first place, what made you want to become an idol?
I didn't want to become an idol!
Oh, really?
Yes, I didn't like being an idol that much.
I just wanted to become a singer.
How old were you when you first auditioned?
I was quite young.
I was in 3rd grade in elementary school.
So you were 8 or 9 years old.
That's right.
I was doing well.
You're like a child now.
Yes, I auditioned normally.
Auditions are pretty easy, aren't they?
It doesn't look like it.
Auditions are like this.
There's like 1,000 people and you're alone or together.
That's right! Not at all!
Before I went to Kebio, I got a horipro.
You got a horipro?
Yes.
Horipro...
Scout caravan?
Scout caravan.
I even went to the final screening.
You went!
I went and Mr. Akimoto, the judge, was there.
It's crazy, isn't it?
Did you get rejected by Mr. Akimoto?
Yes!
In front of Mr. Akimoto...
He sang "Walking" and "Song" and everything.
And?
And he was rejected.
And on his way back...
There are a lot of girls who come to the audition.
There are a lot of people in skirts.
And there was a man who had an AKB flyer.
If you fail the audition, please come and get it.
And he gave it to me.
Mr. Akimoto, first idol in Akihabara.
It was a flyer like that.
AKB...
Yes.
It became very popular, didn't it?
Yes, it did.
What do you think about it?
I'm a Japanese entertainer.
I've been in this field for a long time.
There's no such a big boom, is there?
Is that true?
It's not like it's the main thing.
That's true.
It's not like it's in the top 100.
How do you feel about it?
But I'm a first-generation student.
So, from the beginning, Mr. Akimoto said that...
Of course, it's the most successful group I've been in.
So putting it in from the beginning...
Only a few people in life can share that feeling.
You said you were really lucky.
I think it's amazing.
Even if you go somewhere, there's an AKB sign.
The commercial is playing.
It's amazing.
It's playing a lot, isn't it?
It's playing too much.
I think it's threatening.
But...
I saw it four times today and in the morning...
I saw it four times in the morning.
But it's not annoying.
There's not much to taste.
I don't know if you can walk in a place like this, but you're getting more than that.
I think that's what's difficult about it.
In everyday life, there are fun things, but there are also things you have to do.
I think you have to give up one or the other.
At first, wasn't there a strict rule about love ban?
There wasn't.
There wasn't, right?
I think it came out at some point.
It broke all of a sudden.
Before that, you must have had a boyfriend or something like that, right?
To be honest, I don't know who that person was.
I didn't get along with him at the time.
I see.
That's right.
Higher?
There wasn't.
Of course, I had someone I liked in elementary school.
After I joined AKB, I really started to like AKB.
I'm stupid, but when I graduated middle school, I thought my friends were in the way.
I thought, "Why did they do that?"
I deleted all of them from my address book.
Boys and girls?
Boys and girls.
What?!
Yes. I deleted them.
Why? Were you determined to do it in the entertainment world?
I felt like I had to do it if I was going to do it.
How old were you?
I joined when I was 14 and graduated when I was 15 and a half.
Have you ever been in love or something like that?
Love?
Have you ever been in love?
No, I haven't.
Have you ever kissed someone?
No, I haven't!
I've only been in love with my members.
With my members, on stage...
What does it matter?!
I've never been in love with anyone!
You've only been in love with your members!
No one's asked you!
That's why it's dangerous!
It's definitely dangerous!
Because you haven't been in love, right?
If you haven't been in love,
one day you'll be in love.
Which one of you is more aggressive?
If you do that,
next time you go out with someone,
you'll be like this, right?
I don't know about that, but...
I think I'll prioritize work!
If you can't date, don't fall in love!
That's what I think.
What kind of love do you want?
What kind of love?
I want to do something normal.
I can't do it anymore, but...
I want to go on a date in school uniform.
What else do you want to do?
Also...
I want to walk around like this.
I want to go shopping or go to an amusement park.
I want to do that, too!
B-class food!
Hokkaido Bussan store!
Hokkaido Bussan store is good!
What?!
We can eat salmon and salmon roe.
No way!
Why not?!
It's fun!
What?! Is it fun?!
It's finally started!
Newly released!
AKB Konsagi Dojo!
I'm nervous!
I've never sat like this before.
I'm a little nervous.
I'm nervous, too.
The new show's MC is Minami Minegishi!
A lost rabbit opens up a problem.
In order to save that rabbit,
AKB48 solves problems together!
If you're nice to me, I get nervous.
That's right!
That's AKB Konsagi Dojo!
AKB48 is serious!
I've never seen AKB48 like this before!
This is the first episode of AKB Konsagi Dojo.
Today, we'll talk about AKB48's general director, Minami Takahashi.
Minami Takahashi will be naked.
What?!
Is this okay? It's the first episode!
That's right!
Is it okay for me?
What is the general director thinking?
That's right!
I'm looking forward to it!
In order to find out what it is,
we've prepared some questions!
I see!
Ta-dah!
It's this!
What is it?
I don't know! I don't know!
I don't know!
I don't think there are many questions like this in magazines or TV.
I'd like you to answer these questions!
First!
Yes!
First question!
When you got home from work, your boyfriend was flirting with another woman!
Would you hit a man at a time like this?
Would you hit a woman?
I feel like I'd have to hit either of them!
Hit?!
If you hit me, you'll definitely hit me!
Hit?!
If you hit me, you'll definitely hit me!
Hit?!
Would you hit me?!
He's definitely a man!
Would you hit a woman?!
Would you really not hit me?!
I really wouldn't hit you!
Would you really not?
I'd probably be completely blank.
"Huh?" I'd say. "What's going on?" "Who is this?" "Who is this?!"
I'd ask him a lot of questions and I'd leave the woman alone for now.
You'd leave her there?
I'd leave her there. It's a problem for both of us.
And in the end, I'd say "Sorry, but we have someone else."
Sorry, but we have someone else.
We have someone else.
Could you return her?
I'll return her first.
Return her.
But it's one-on-one, right?
One-on-one.
What does it mean?
What does it have to do with her?
Does she like me?
What kind of feelings did you have for her?
But I'd mentally corner her.
No, no. It's just that...
I was busy, so...
It's just...
I wasn't in a good mood either.
No, no, no.
But you know...
It wasn't like I didn't like anyone else.
Why?
But I don't like her at all.
You don't like her?
I don't like her at all.
But I had a boyfriend and we had a lot of fun.
It was a play?
It was a play.
So we didn't go out at all.
We had a lot of fun together.
I live here.
When do you bring your luggage?
It's cold.
Not at all.
It's not cold, is it?
I think this is normal.
You live in a castle, don't you?
I live in a castle.
Do you have enemies?
Between loving and being loved, which do you like better?
I like being loved.
That's good.
I love loving people.
I'm pretty shy, but I like people.
You can see it in my videos.
I'm shy, but I look like a social person.
I like to go to people from myself.
I want to talk to people and know about people.
I want to know about people and like people.
I want people to like me as a conversion of that.
That's right.
Yes.
Next.
Takamina's all-American debut has been decided.
However, when he debuts, he must quit AKB.
Will he make an all-American debut or will he quit AKB?
That's amazing.
Even for me, I'm excited.
I know that Takamina likes AKB.
I don't know about all-American debut, but it's nice.
It's a Japanese girl.
It's a rare chance.
You have a wonderful mind.
Japanese mind.
It's like Japanese past.
That's right.
It's wonderful.
But it depends on the season.
If it's now...
Now.
If it's now, I won't do it.
Will you quit AKB?
I will quit AKB.
What about one year later?
One year later, I will probably quit AKB.
What about two years later?
I will quit all-American debut.
I see.
I think you will.
What kind of difference is it?
This year, I'm the general director.
I have a lot of things I have to do.
My solo debut has been decided, and I've established my place as an individual, so I'm the general director of AKB, and I think I have to raise my juniors.
Akiho-san also says, "You can't graduate until you raise the next person."
So I think it's about two years later that I can push up the next generation more and more.
What kind of joke is this?
You don't know, do you?
What would you do if you were reported?
This is pretty tough.
But Takamina has a sense of justice, so I feel like I'm telling you to go, but I think I'll tell you to go.
To the police?
Let's go to the police.
I'll follow you.
I have my own position, but I'm in love with you, so I'll see you off.
And I'll wait for you to come back.
I want to stay, I want to stay in love.
If there's no reason to hate me...
First date with someone you like. How do you dress up for it?
What do you think of girls who like to dress up?
I think they're lovely.
I dress up a lot. Do you curl your hair?
I curl it up and wear a big sweater.
I wear something small and show off a little.
I try to show off a little.
Where do you go?
I go shopping. I choose clothes.
What do you think will suit me?
Wow, my skin is dyed.
I think my clothes will be dyed, too.
Why?
For example, if you go to a dry mix, you can make a lunch box.
I'll show you how much I can do in 10 seats.
When you go on a dry mix date, you show off your womanhood.
Don't you say that a lot?
You serve drinks at the perfect timing.
I think you think a lot about it.
If you think he's cute or you like him, get closer to him.
Can I kiss you on our first date?
No way!
We're not in Osaka.
Is it a first date?
Everyone kisses you.
Isn't it the third time?
97% of people kiss for the first date.
No way!
That's usually the case in New York.
It's totally different from AKB's high-profile image.
That's right.
What are you doing?
What do you want me to do?
Can I kiss you?
Minami, can I kiss you?
Eye contact!
But it's cute.
It's cute.
Okay, last one.
If you were to bring three things to an uninhabited island, what would you bring?
Three things?
They have to be things.
Anything is fine.
Can it be a person?
A person is...
But if it's a person, it would mean something different.
That's right.
If it's a person, it would be you, Mii-chan.
Me?
But we're best friends.
And I want to protect you.
So I'd do my best to the end.
So if you were here, I'd do my best for you, Mii- chan.
I see.
This time, you're the MC, right?
Can you do it?
I can do it.
I don't want you to underestimate our potential.
I don't know what you're talking about, but...
Why am I the only one who's about to cry?
You're acting weird today!
It's like...
Can I say something that has nothing to do with it?
Go ahead.
Even though you have so much potential, you don't show it often.
A.K.A.B. has many A.K.A.B.s, but there are others as well.
So you're smart and you think differently.
I think it's such a waste.
But I don't have the ability to make use of it.
So I'm really happy about it.
Yes, I'm happy about it.
At first, we were rivals.
But one day we became friends and when I debuted as Takamina, I was really happy about it.
We were happy about it and we were aiming for different paths.
And we were able to succeed in that path and I hope we can meet again.
I'm really happy about it and I hope we can meet again.
Let's have them say it together!
That sounds possible!
That's scary!
The new program "AKB Koushagi Dojo" has finally begun!
There's no reason for me to sit here.
The new program's MC is Minami Inegishi.
A lost rabbit opens up a problem.
In order to save such a rabbit, AKB48 is solving problems together!
If you're nice to me, I'll get nervous.
Yes, that's AKB Koushagi Dojo!
AKB48 is serious!
I've never seen such AKB48!
Everyone has something locked up in their hearts.
Now is the time to release it and fly freely.
The time has come!
I think it's really hard for you and me to get along.
AKB Koushagi Dojo!
Everyone has something locked up deep in their hearts.
Now is the time to let go of it and fly freely.
The time has come!
If you could turn back time, when would you like to go back to?
When I want to go back?
I don't know if I should ask you this, but I don't really have anything I want to go back to.
When I think about going back, I feel like I've lost.
I don't want to look back.
If you think about what you should have done when you went back, you'll think of a lot of things.
Maybe you'll even want to go back to yesterday.
But everything that has passed is in the past.
If you go back, you'll think about all the good and bad things that happened in the past and connect them to the future.
You haven't met your girlfriend yet, have you?
I haven't met her yet.
I don't know who I'm going to date.
I've come this far.
Today, your future girlfriend is here.
What? My future girlfriend?
Tell me about your future girlfriend.
What is it? It's really difficult.
First of all, thank you for meeting me and loving me.
I think it's really hard for you to date me.
I don't know if you were in Akebi at the time or when you graduated.
I don't know when I met you.
But thank you for making such a decision for me.
It's embarrassing.
I don't want to hear it when I meet you someday.
A.K.B. "Kousagi Dojo"
Daisuki dakara... Because I love you so...
Pressure...
[Music]
[Applause and cheers]
AKB is already a big success, isn't it?
Yes.
What do you want to do from now on?
What do I want to do?
My ideal is...
I've never been so addicted to AKB.
I think it's a miracle that AKB has lasted for seven years.
But I'm not tired of it now.
I want AKB to continue because it's the month of AKB.
I don't know how long I can continue.
But...
What do you think?
I don't think you need to quit AKB.
Really?
Even if you're over 30 years old, I think you can continue.
Of course I want to continue.
But if you tell me that it's about time for me to quit, I'll quit right away.
That's right.
My policy is...
I don't know when I'll graduate, or if I can continue or not.
But I want to quit AKB before I hate it.
You want to quit AKB before you hate it.
So...
What do you mean by "you hate AKB"?
I don't know why I hate AKB now.
But I like AKB, so I can continue.
I've loved AKB for seven years.
If I hate AKB and quit, I want to leave as I like.
I want to continue being in love with AKB.
I see.
What if you hate the person you love?
It's painful, isn't it?
You hate the person you love, don't you?
I think you'll really hate him if you hate him.
I see. I don't know.
But...
I don't know when I'll quit.
You shouldn't quit.
That's right.
But I like AKB now and I want to continue.
You want to continue, don't you?
Yes.
