AISubs v3.5
Moonshine, which was waiting for members in America, a free country.
That is, to shoot River's The Most Original PV in New York.
What kind of PV will be completed?
Moonshine in New York City, second half, start!
In a tube-top costume, they show a lively dance.
Eight members selected by Director Jonathan.
However, after arriving in New York,
as soon as they entered the location,
the members' faces were colored with hope.
In the midst of that, the front of the PV finally became clear.
The makeup we're going to be putting on is African- inspired makeup.
- African-inspired makeup? - Yeah, with very bright, vivid colors.
- Colors? - Yeah, very colorful.
- Colors?! - Yeah, very colorful, yeah.
- I want to try it! - Challenge!
It'll be fun.
And we're gonna get the girls out here in tube- tops and have like, really crazy makeup.
Uh, so, and then we'll have lots of fun and it should be a good time.
Immediately, makeup begins.
The members' faces are given an African-inspired colorful design.
- Oh, wow! - Wow!
The director and makeup staff meet up,
and each member's design is decided on the spot.
You wanna do like, the dots in a different color? Maybe in the green?
Really take your time and like, think.
That's so cool!
- Hey, it really looks like you're eating meat! - Yeah, it's like you're eating curry.
I got it!
It suits you.
It's turning into an animal, an animal.
I wonder what's going on.
But as the makeup goes on...
What's going on?
Takajo, you're pretty simple-minded.
Then there's Minengi.
Oh...
All? All?
All white.
All white?
And then...
All white?
And then...
She turned her head and said, "Look, it's sweet potato, sweet potato."
So I said, "No, it's probably British. It's going to be pretty bad."
She said, "No, it's not."
I said, "What should we do?"
But now that I see it...
I don't know about my own face.
Minengi, you've got a dent in your eye.
There's no nation like this.
Because it's completely different.
It's a different place.
But that's black.
Standing in front of the camera is a perfect performance.
Minengi, good job!
I'm really trying to get something that's more bombastic, more eccentric...
Still based on the African roots.
That's one of the key factors for the music video and also just the biggest question mark...
Because we can go in so many directions.
This is the finished makeup.
From powerful people to cute people...
The African idol is born!
However, the members who have just arrived in New York are in the middle of misbehaving.
At this time of the day in Japanese time, it's six in the morning.
It can't be helped if you're sleepy.
Still, they shoot the dance scene and draw it at the end.
What kind of scene will it be?
And...
Thank you!
Yay!
Ten years from now, you'll remember the music video.
Yeah? OK?
Thank you!
Something nice.
All right.
We good?
Thank you!
Yay!
Meanwhile, this is the microphone crew's shooting site.
The stage will be Brooklyn's Twirl Studio.
The members are all practicing River's original choreography.
There's a reason for that.
I guess the concept of this video is...
Because of the lyrics of the song, it sounds like you have to be, like, inspirational and never give up.
So you're gonna be, like, doing a couple of dance routines.
There's gonna be three different areas that we shoot the performance.
So it's really important that they all know, like, the same dance.
Yeah, the stomp. Does everybody know that?
I know, I know. Yeah, we know, we know.
Does everybody know it?
Yes.
Yes?
Sweet.
Oh, yeah, there are people who don't know it.
There are people who know it and people who don't know it.
Because it's a new song, the original choreography hasn't been taught to the members yet.
However, only half a day is given for filming.
There should be no further anxiety between the members.
Thank you very much.
Are you guys ready?
We're gonna go back outside and we're gonna do the dance.
Okay girls, I'm gonna start from the beginning.
I'm gonna have you just probably start right here.
You'll run in. Just, you know, don't worry about it.
You know, just get set and then just start.
Action!
♪
I need the two girls. I know you don't know the dance,
but you gotta do something more than just stand there.
♪
Okay?
Yes! Yes!
Okay, Tim.
♪
Cut! Thank you!
It's perfect!
Is it okay?
Yes, thank you!
Despite the sudden formation, the director also started to prepare surprisingly well.
And the shooting took place in the middle of the battle.
In the meantime, did Maeda and Takahashi steal the director's eyes?
Oh, this is my favorite salad.
Salad... Oh, this is celery and a lot of cucumbers.
Do you like cucumbers?
I love them.
What do you call it? Watermelon?
Is it an extra?
They have no time to eat their favorite cucumbers.
They shoot dancing from a different angle.
This is something that doesn't exist in Japan.
It's cool!
I don't know what it's going to be like.
I'm sure it's going to be good.
Yeah, because it's American.
For now, we solve what we can solve ourselves.
And we leave it to the director's flow.
The team is too strong.
It's difficult!
And the next scene is...
This is the most important shot.
The director said this was the most important shot.
It's different from anything we've done before.
Surprisingly, this important dance scene was filmed more than 20 times in total.
As expected, the members' expressions are starting to show their fatigue.
I wasn't able to sleep much last night, so my body is heavy.
It's a little hard. How many times have I danced?
Ah, now I can't do it.
Even with a little break, everyone is exhausted.
Their energy and physical strength are already at their limits.
Even so, by using up their remaining energy, they are able to continue filming.
Is that the face from earlier?
The face of surprise at the audition appears here.
Okay.
Alright, thank you.
I just want to thank you girls for a great job.
You guys were amazing, great energy all day, and I really appreciate you letting me make this video for you.
Go forward! (Got it!)
Don't stop! (Got it!)
The goal is where the sun rises!
Walk the path of hope!
Going and going, river, river, river!
Turning sideways, river!
The river of destiny, river!
Show me your guts, oh yeah!
Don't hesitate, now!
Take a step forward right now!
Give yourself!
Dreams always look so far away
I feel like I can't reach you
Pick up a stone by your feet
Be brave and throw it
A river flows in front of you
A wide and big river
It's flowing, it's flowing
Even if you get used to it, you'll get caught up in it
Believe in yourself more
In the darkness, yeah!
If you look back, ho! ho! ho! ho!
If you reach out, there's a future there
Don't give up on things you can't reach
The stone you threw away will make your dream come true
Even if you fall, you won't be able to hear it
Even in your heart, a river flows
It's all natural
Even if it doesn't work out for you
Believe in yourself more
There is a shore there
Someday we will arrive there
Yeah party!
River!
Ah ah ah ah ah
Don't make excuses to yourself
Ah ah ah ah ah
Try it, you'll know
Ah ah ah ah ah
You have to go straight
Forever and ever and ever
Keep walking on the road you've chosen
In front of you, a river flows
A large river spreads out
Even if it's dark and deep
Even if it flows fast
It's all natural Even if it doesn't work out for you
Keep your distance
There is a shore out there
Believe in yourself more
There is a shore out there
Even if it's destroyed, it won't be washed away
(eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes)
If you look me in the eye
I clung to you
Until the day my wish comes true
Today is the day you can do it!

Believe in yourself more
Even in your heart
Even if it's destroyed, it will be washed away
(eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes)
You just need to look me in the eye (wow)
Don't let it break (wow)
The wish you clung to will come true
(cheers and applause)
Now we leave.
Thank you!
We did it!
I'm from overseas,
and I didn't know what my opponent was thinking or saying,
so I was like, "Let's give it a try," and became a challenger.
I was like, "Let's do it," and it was fun.
I gave it my all.
I'm glad I was able to do both my performance and this performance as I had imagined.
It gave me confidence again.
It was more fun than painful,
and I felt like I gave it my all and made a work of art.
It was fun.
I didn't know what I was going to do at all,
and I didn't think I'd be able to do a PV in such a short amount of time.
and I didn't know I'd be able to do a PV in such a short amount of time.
I'm excited about how it will turn out.
I'll make it an invaluable experience.
That's all.
I'm a genius.
She did her best against Gisamu's opponent!
I'm moved!
Next time...
