AISubs v3.8.2
AKB48's...
Wow!
Yes, I'm Yui Yamaguchi, a 18th grader. Nice to meet you.
Yes, I'm Hirono Kubo, a 18th grader.
Yes, I'm Yui Kawamura, a 19th grader.
Cute!
I felt something strange, but...
What was the title of the show?
Yes, from "AKB48's Graduate Wao" to "AKB48's Wao"
Oh, it's gotten bigger!
Yes, it's gotten bigger.
But with the title of the show changed,
I think we'll have more activities in the future.
I hope our fans will enjoy it, too!
Do you have any enthusiasm?
Enthusiasm...
Unusual enthusiasm...
Well, it's a very personal enthusiasm, but...
I'm a Graduate Wao and I'm not good at food reviews,
so I want to get better.
Oh, it's a new goal!
That's good!
So, let's do our best today, too!
AKB48's... Wow!
AKB48's members are...
This time, we would like you to express your goals for the new year with a performance.
What is it?
Here it is.
I'm Yuriko Matsuo, a performance writer and performer.
You can call me "Yuri-chan" or "Yuri-sensei".
Thank you for having me.
The show has been renewed for the first time.
Through "Performance Writing", we would like you to write your goals for this year with your power.
Let's do it!
It's difficult.
You will write your New Year's resolution for your first performance at home.
At first, I won't say anything.
I won't say anything.
But I want you to write it down in your mind.
Yes. I got it.
Who will go first?
Let's do rock-paper-scissors.
Rock-paper-scissors?
Can I ask you to do it?
What?
Can I ask you to do it?
Really?
Can I ask you to do it?
Yuichi said he wanted you to do it.
Oh, well...
Oh, no!
First, Yuichi.
OK, I'll do it.
Your name is Yuichi, right?
That's right. Yuichi.
Let's do it.
Yuichi.
OK.
OK, then I'll do it.
The second one is the second one.
First of all, Yamaguchi-san's challenge.
Yes, the characters I'm going to write are...
Well...
Anyway, I'll keep running.
Oh, it's interesting.
I'll write these characters.
Go for it!
It's heavy!
Wow!
It's heavy, isn't it?
Is it OK?
Please use both feet.
OK.
The first letter Yamaguchi-san chose is...
OK!
What is the meaning of these words?
I myself want to move forward in my life.
And this program "WOW! AKB48" also has a lot of sad things and fun things.
Even though there are a lot of emotions, I want to move forward and make it a bigger program.
That's great! You thought about the program and wrote it!
Yes!
Yamaguchi-san, you are great!
Thank you!
I'm a little nervous. I'm sweating and my feet are sticking together.
My goal for this year is to live positively, so I would like to express that feeling in words.
It's been two years since I joined AKB48
but originally I was very nervous and challenged everything
but I hope I can do it with a lot of fun in the second year
so I decided to do it in this period of time.
I did my best. Thank you very much.
The last is Ms. Kubo's challenge!
Yes, this year, I will write letters that contain the meaning of "I want to do my best" in my many goals.
Let's go!
Oh, straight!
One strawberry is not enough. One.
Do you want me to teach you later?
Here is the first letter that Kubo-san chose.
The last letter was a little regrettable, wasn't it?
I couldn't see the whole thing, so I didn't know where it was.
I couldn't understand it.
It's very difficult to write on large paper.
Why did you choose this letter?
I, Konmendo, have a goal of definitely achieving my goal,
so I wrote "achieve", "become".
It seems like you have a second chance.
Let's do our best.
Thank you for your hard work.
When I saw the first one, it was too precise, and I thought it wasn't right for me.
So, I'd like to convey fun from the letters.
You're a wonderful girl.
You're a good girl.
Then, with that in mind, I'll hold your hand.
Let's collaborate and write fun letters.
OK.
How can we express our desire to write fun letters?
If you raise it up a little, it'll look cool.
Can you put it on the corner?
It's a little low. Is it OK?
Let's make it look like you're smiling.
And then, like you're raising your hand, let's make it like this.
It looks like you're smiling.
You're smiling.
By being aware of these points, you can make your work better.
It's cute.
Isn't it good?
Is it cute?
Here is the finished work.
It looks like you're having fun playing with letters.
It's totally different from what you see.
I can see you're having fun with letters.
I had fun doing it, too.
That's right.
Next up is Ms. Kubo's lesson.
You're strong-willed.
You wrote it in a really cool way.
That's nice of you.
I'm sure I'll be like you.
Leave it to me.
How can we express our strong-willedness in cool letters?
If you don't know the order of writing...
At first, you think it's this way, and then you're distracted.
So, you have to know the order of writing.
One, two, three...
One, four...
Five, six...
Thank you.
What is "thank you" for?
It's important to remember the order of writing so you don't make mistakes.
OK, like this.
Let's go. Slowly, slowly, slowly.
And the biggest point is...
From here, pray for success and go up straight.
Go up, but do you want me to push you?
While you're lost, while you're lost, but make sure you do it.
Yay!
Let's go.
And from here, remember the order of writing.
This way.
Can you do it? Here.
Here.
Make sure you're gentle.
Not there. Here.
Got it? Got it?
You made a mistake earlier.
Here.
Like this.
Do it like this and pray for success.
And here.
Ten, ten, ten.
And go up, up, up, up.
You did it!
Here is the finished work!
The letters have momentum and look powerful!
I thought a lot about the meaning of "think and do as you like" in this performance.
You said you wanted to express something like momentum, so I think success is not straight.
So, you said you will definitely do it even if you get lost.
So, I went up a little bit.
It's called "winding road", isn't it?
I will go even if I get lost.
The third performance.
Good luck!
I think confidence and passion are very important, so I want to write powerfully and precisely.
I see.
I want to write.
I got it.
Thank you very much.
Let's shake hands.
Well, I guess I have no choice.
How can we express passionate letters?
Make it thicker on the right.
But, you see, it's getting thicker and thicker.
It's thin, so it's getting thicker and thicker, isn't it?
Yes.
And now, make it vertical. Make it thin.
Yes, yes, yes.
Make it as thin as this.
You have to make it quite thick and vertical, or it will be thick.
Yes, yes.
And now, the biggest point is...
This time, we won't shake hands. We'll shake hands loudly. Let's go. Please come here. Please come here.
Please come here. Shake your hands loudly.
Wow.
Let's go.
I'll do it one more time.
Oh, one more time?
I'll do it one more time.
Let's go. I'll do it one more time.
Make it thick here.
Yes, please make it thick.
And...
Come here.
Let's go.
It's not cool if you stand like that.
Can you stand like this?
Look at me. Can you talk to me?
Like this.
Wow, it's cool!
This is the finished work!
By adding strength to the thickness, you can feel the passion in one word!
Just being conscious of the initial position changes a lot.
But I want to be conscious of the thinness.
I want to put in my feelings.
Yes, I wanted to put in my feelings.
That's right.
Yes.
After this, the three of them will perform the song together!
AKB48 research students' first performance!
Ready...
Start!
Each of them chose their favorite song and performed it!
Kawamura-san chose this song because she thought that lyrics overlap with her and go well with her goals in the future!
Oh, it looks fun!
It's good, isn't it?
Even if there is a distance from your goal, there is something you want to grab.
I chose this song because I thought the lyrics of this song were similar to my feelings.
It's a song of success.
Yes, it's a song of success.
It's like a shooting star, isn't it?
It's a word "fun", so in order to express that fun, I tried to make it look like it's spinning,
and I made this part of the face and cheeks look like they're spinning, and I tried to make it look like it's smiling more.
Looking at this word, I don't think there's anyone who isn't having fun.
Looking at it, I think there are many people who think "Wow, there's a way of writing a book like this too".
Also, Kawaii-chan's charming point is her cheeks. It's like she's expressing her own cheeks.
Next time, I wonder if I should write it with eyelashes.
It was a wonderful book. Thank you very much.
Next up is Yamaguchi-san!
For the first part of the book, I put in a strong brush stroke,
so I was conscious of this part where it's bouncing a little.
Also, for the last part of the book, I wanted to go forward and forward,
so I drew it straight for a long time!
Amazing!
Out of the three of you who did it, you were the only ones who did performance calligraphy, music, and dancing.
You were the only ones who did it.
It's important to draw a blueprint of what you want to draw and where you want to draw it while looking at the whole person,
but it's also wonderful to look at it while dancing and taking steps.
Thank you very much.
Keep up the good work and go your own way.
Thank you very much.
The last one is Ms. Kubo.
My goal is to achieve it.
I imagined a little star and said "I will grab it".
I tried to express that the highest point of the star is going up.
I did it very well.
It's Karamaru.
Karamaru.
I imagined a shooting star.
"If it comes true, the next one will come too".
So, I felt like I was watching a show where I achieved something and looked for the next one.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
Let's do our best with the goals we wrote this time in our hearts.
The program will be renewed and the name of the program will change.
We would like to liven up the program with all of you, AKB members.
I hope you will look forward to our program in the future.
Please look forward to it next week, too.
Bye-bye.
Now, it's time for this week's Director's Choice.
