AISubs v3.5
Saturday at 6:59pm.
We, akb48, were born in 2005 with the concept of "idols you can go see".
Thanks to everyone's support, our single has achieved 10 consecutive million sellers.
Last year, we realized our dream of a Tokyo Dome concert.
In three days, about 140,000 fans rushed to see us.
Meanwhile, our show's general director, Terry- san...
While watching our live DVDs, he was thinking...
Idols are like... looks, singing, and dancing... dancing... dancing...
In fact, Terry-san, who played the supporting role of the dance boom, launched "Dance Koushien".
When he saw our dance, he thought of this...
AKB's dance is actually too well-organized. I want more edgy dancing!
AKB's strongest dance team! I want to make one like this!
Terry-san said something crazy again!
If it's like this, we have no choice but to do it!
Let's do a cool dance unit with AKB!
Part of the Dance Idol Great Strategy!
Alright!
Battle has begun!
I want to bet everything on this project.
I want to be the best dancer in AKB.
Of course, I'll be at the top!
I'll take the top spot!
Do you think you'll get better?
No, not at all for now.
To be honest...
While being an idol, you take the top spot in the world of street dance...
That's quite a fight!
Are you serious about this?
If it's not crazy, it won't be fun.
Road of the Dance Idol Great Strategy!
It's Haran's dawn.
What will happen?!
This week's narration will be delivered by Team A's Iriama Anna!
AKB Kousagi Dojo!
This time's AKB Kousagi Dojo is a cool dance unit formed by AKB48 members who are no less than professionals!
"Road of the Dance Idol" big plan!
I took a survey on a show before, and there was a member who wrote something like this.
Is this true?
If it's true, I'd like you to try it on your way to becoming a dance idol!
Let's ask the person himself directly!
The staff is looking forward to receiving information from the member who loves dancing.
She says she loves dancing, but will she agree with Terry's proposal?
The person who wrote the questionnaire is Tano Yuka, 16 years old.
She passed the AKB48 Research Student Audition in 2011.
She is now a member of Team A.
Her cheerful personality and stoic personality are praised by Director Takamina.
I love dancing.
You love dancing?
Yes.
How much do you like dancing?
How much?
I love dancing.
What if dancing becomes a hobby for me?
But I can't enjoy my life from now on.
Tano loves dancing more than breakfast, lunch and dinner in the morning and at night.
In AKB48, she makes bread with a beautiful dance.
I'm not interested in dancing at all.
The reason I started dancing was because my friends told me that they would go to a dance school and I would go with them.
I remember...
I remember a little.
How was it?
I was a little good.
I was a little better than others.
Stress, bad things, dancing all that makes me a little softer.
So it's really part of life.
It's a little weird for me to say it myself, but I think I'm better.
Among the A.K.A.B.s.
Sano-chan's desire for dancing seems real.
So how good is it?
I'm going to try it.
If you improve your dancing skills in the future,
wouldn't you like to participate in Japan's No. 1 dance event?
Japan's No. 1?
I'd like to participate.
Today's event is...
Japan's No. 1 street dance event "Dance A Live".
More than 60 qualifier tournaments are held each year,
and more than 20,000 participants.
In addition, the final is a monster event held in both countries and countries.
Where do you aim for?
Of course, the top.
I'll aim for the top.
These are reassuring words.
But is it possible for an idol to reach the top in a tournament that is said to be difficult even for professionals?
How good is Sano-chan's dancing?
I'm inviting professionals, so can you show me?
Of course, Tano-chan, who used to dance, is also surprised.
This person is Charisma Kantaro-san.
If you are dancing, you are a great dancer who everyone knows.
At the revolution of street dance, Tano-chan will collaborate with the organizer of Japan's first street dance event, Dancer Live.
From that charisma, Tano-chan suddenly says harsh words.
Tano-san said she wants to take over the world at a dance competition.
Really?
Yes, it's true.
Do you know the level of your decision now?
No.
You don't know the level of dance all over Japan?
I don't know.
I see.
To be honest, now I'm surprised.
I don't know how serious I am, but I'll do my best.
Are you confident?
Confidence? I'm a little nervous.
I'm nervous, but I'll do my best.
A.k.a. B, please come up to the stage!
Well, first of all, try dancing freely.
Freely?
You can do it with your hands.
I'll count one, two, three, four, five, six.
At this speed.
And you can do anything.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Have you ever danced for free?
No.
How did you dance just now?
I danced what I had learned before.
So you danced to the choreography.
Yes.
To be honest, we can't talk about it in our world.
It's not about how you can dance.
Dance is your own self-expression.
You don't dance to the choreography, but you show what you have inside of you.
I'm a dancer like this.
It's the first time that person sees you as a dancer.
You're dancing to the choreography now.
It's just dancing to the choreography of the teacher who taught you.
He's honest with me.
That's how you can see what you're not good at at all.
I think you can think about it yourself.
I'm so grateful for you.
He's been dancing since he was in the third grade of elementary school.
But he still has strict words from a professional.
I've never seen you so depressed like this.
And...
I feel sorry for him.
I'm worried about him.
To be honest, I'm scared of him.
To be a dancer...
I'm afraid that if I dance like that, people will think it's not funny.
Street dance is a freestyle dance that you can dance with your favorite song in clubs and streets in 1970s.
And even in a competition, dancers can dance freely according to DJ's random selection.
Therefore, you have to express what you felt at that moment with your body.
Maybe the world I want to live in now is a world where I can feel the sound intuitively and naturally dance with what I felt at that moment.
If I keep dancing like this, I should be able to dance infinitely.
You want to be able to dance, don't you?
Yes.
What do you want to be when you dance?
I've been dancing since I was little.
Through dancing, I realized that there are dancers like me in AKB.
I will use dancing as a weapon and learn more about dancing in order to make my dream come true in the future.
Are there any good dancers in AKB?
Yes, there are.
If you are not good at dancing like this, you will not be able to fight as a street dancer in the first place.
Are you used to it?
Yes, I am.
I told you. I will make you do it. I told you.
I will not let you do it. I will make you do it with all your might.
But if you keep up with me, you will be able to dance a lot even though you are in AKB.
Yes.
If you do that, you will win.
Yes.
I will protect you.
I will protect you, too.
You can dance freely again later.
Use your emotions.
Don't dance like you did earlier.
Just think that you like dancing.
Yes, I will do it.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Anyway, keep dancing.
I want to bet everything on the project. That's how much I love dancing.
There is only one year left. Anyway, I have to keep dancing.
As long as I have time, I will ask Mr. Kantaro to teach me how to dance.
This way.
It's a declaration of war against dancers.
Even among idols, in a sense, we will never lose to you.
I am a dancer.
You will definitely beat me, won't you?
Yes.
You will get points, won't you?
Yes.
I should have said it, but you got a lot of points.
If you don't get points, people will say it's me.
I don't like it. I will push you.
You will say, "No, he is dangerous."
I won't let you give up.
I have no choice but to do it.
If you want to do it, I want to support you all.
I really want to be good at dancing and make my dream come true.
Thank you in advance.
"Road of the Dance Idol" Great Operation.
The first member is Fumiyuka.
AKB Kosagi Dojo.
And "Road of the Dance Idol" Great Operation.
The second member is a member who Fumiyuka really wants to form a dance team with.
I like her so much that I want to dance forever.
Yes, I like her.
Among AKB members, I want to be the best dancer.
It is said that this person is in AKB48 Theater in Akihabara.
Good morning.
After this, the second member will obviously...
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!
It's not like I'm rich or anything.
It costs...um...a lot of money.
Then one morning, my mom started working part-time delivering newspapers.
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!
Is there anyone you want to say "thank you" to in life?
Let's see...
"thank you" is definitely something I want to say to my parents.
The reason I'm able to do what I do now...
I think it's all thanks to my parents.
It's probably because my parents helped me get out of my hometown on my own.
It's not like I'm rich or anything.
It costs...um...a lot of money.
Before I became a research student at AKB...
I had about three months of lessons.
At that time, I took a night bus.
At first, I used my part-time salary that I had saved up before.
But it wasn't enough at all.
Then one morning, my mom started working part-time delivering newspapers.
So...um...
The bus fare...
The accommodation fee...
They helped me find a hotel that was as cheap as possible.
That's why I'm where I am now.
So I want to say "thank you".
Once again, please tell your mother.
Mom, Dad, I'm 20 years old now, and I've had a lot of annoying thoughts, but if it weren't for my mom and dad, I don't think I'd be where I am now.
Thank you for taking care of me until now, and I hope we can continue to be a happy family for a long time.
This time, AKB Kousagi Dojo has formed a cool dance unit that is no less than professionals with AKB48 members!
"Road of the Dance Idol" Great Operation!
Their goal is to be number one in street dance in Japan.
In a year's time, they will aim for the top in a street dance competition.
The first member is Team A's Kano Yuka, who wants to take over the world in dance.
Shidou is met with charisma Kantaro.
In the world of dance, he is a super famous dancer!
I immediately watched Kano-chan's dance, but I have a tough opinion...
When this comes out, I feel sorry for Kano-chan.
It's going to be fluffy. It's going to be normal.
In order to make your dream come true...
Still, Kano-chan has withdrawn and decided to aim for the top at the street dance competition a year later.
The second member of "Road of the Dance Idol" is a member who Kano-chan wants to form a dance team with no matter what.
Who is the member that Kano-chan is talking about?
That person is in AKB48 Theater in Akihabara.
Kano-chan, 14 years old.
Good morning!
Kano-chan wants to form a dance team with a researcher, Aiga-samoe, 14 years old.
She is a junior of Kano-chan, who joined AKB48 as a researcher in 2011.
I like idols and artists since I was little.
So I thought it would be nice to see them dancing.
Then, there was a school near my house, so I went there.
It's easy for me to get used to it, but it's like autumn.
I get bored of anything right away.
I've only been dancing for seven years.
I like it so much that I want to keep dancing.
Kano-chan will tell Moe-chan about this project.
It's a project to win first place in a serious dance competition.
Can I do it?
If you let me do it, I'll do my best, too.
Seriously?
Yes, seriously!
Seriously!
Are you serious about it?
Yes, I'm serious about it.
Since I'm doing it, I want to do my best, too.
I want to do it well, but I want to do it well.
Yes, I want to do it well.
I said it myself, but I want to win first place in AKB.
First of all, I want to win first place in AKB.
If I don't win first place in AKB, I don't think it will work in Moe-chan's world.
Do you want to win first place in AKB?
Yes, I do.
Which one was better in the beginning or later?
Yes.
Can you do it properly on stage?
Yes.
Can I check it once?
I'll do it like "three, one, two", so you can dance as you like.
Yes.
It's pretty good, isn't it?
Actually...
Did you just dance freely?
Yes.
Completely freely?
Yes.
Without any choreography?
Yes.
It's good, isn't it?
It's much better than I expected.
I thought there are people who can do punking like idols.
To be honest, it's pretty good.
Oh, really?
Moe-chan's punking that she learned in a dance class.
Charisma-san also likes it.
On the other hand, Tano-chan, who is a junior and knows her rival's ability.
"Road of the Danced Idol" big operation.
I can't take my eyes off of you two!
As soon as I did it today, I'm pretty anxious, to be honest.
I don't know if I can do the real dance or if my body remembers it.
I'll do my best.
It may be a good match, but I think it's necessary for a good team.
Until now, I haven't said that I'm good at dancing or that I want to aim higher.
This time, the weight of those words is completely different.
I'll do my best.
Even with my small hands, I'll do my best for the rest of my life.
Thank you for waiting! Ending dance, here we go!
