AISubs v3.5
[A.K.A. B.F.O.T.E.N.T.]
Japan's top idol group, A.K.A. B.F.O.T.E.NT.
However, only a few members are called "stars".
This story is about a young girl who, in such a large group, continues to work hard and still keeps chasing her dreams.
Will a miracle happen?
In February 2011, a young girl passed the A.K.A. B.F.O.T.E.NT. audition.
I'm No. 37, Tom Muto.
Tom Muto, 16 years old at the time.
She passed the audition and began her activities as a 12th grader.
In June of the following year, in the 4th election general election, she made her first entry.
Moreover, despite her position as a researcher, she ranked 49th.
Also, in August of the same year, a promotion to regular members and a membership to Team K were announced.
Even in next year's general election, 45th place in the ranking, with the image of "Tom, Muto, who is strong in election", expectations gathered as members who suit the next generation.
However, the road to the election members was not so sweet.
While the younger members of the sister group were elected one after another,
Muto has never been called to record a single song again.
Furthermore, members of the same generation who find their own individuality and spread their dreams and activities.
Out of about 300 members of the girls group, balance is important, but you need a weapon that is an absolute feature.
I'm Muto Atame from Team K. Nice to meet you.
She was clumsy and shy, and she couldn't break her own shell, and she was worried about not stepping forward.
I've never been out at all, so I didn't know.
Everyone talks a lot.
Her clumsiness and her debut as a team captain made her who she is today.
She's getting more attention. She expects to shine more, and she says she was particularly concerned about it in the team.
Muto is regarded as a successor candidate for Oshima, and she played Oshima as an underdog in a play in which Oshima was absent.
In response to Oshima and expectations around her, and in order to get closer to her dreams, she thought about what she needed.
The sudden announcement of her graduation from Oshima.
Muto spoke words of marriage to Oshima, as a way of respect for Oshima and as a way of encouraging herself.
In order to draw Oshima's soul and become an existence that can pull AKB48.
However, she says she doesn't know how to do it.
I have to show my facial expressions in AKB48.
There are a lot of songs that don't have much dance.
If I'm limited in songs that I can show myself,
it's frustrating.
After all, I have experienced various things and pulled and escaped various people.
I have such frustrations.
Of course, there is joy when you stand in front of you.
That's why I want to have one thing that everyone doesn't have.
I want to acquire my own weapon that others do not have.
I want to level up myself and become a big existence that exceeds Oshima Yuko.
The path that such a person decided to go.
In order to use my own chance, I want to get a weather forecast certificate.
Weather forecast certificate.
Among national certificates, it is said to be one of the most difficult.
That probability is only 5%.
In order to change yourself, you are trying to choose a difficult path for yourself.
There is no reason for Rimos to abandon it.
He stands up for martial arts and promotes his own plan.
Aiming for weather prevention, Martial arts club "Ashita Tenki ni Nrare".
Umutou immediately arrives at a certain place.
Where is this place?
I'm Umutou Tomei of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
I'm Yoshida of the Japan Meteorological Association. Nice to meet you.
We came to the Japan Meteorological Association.
Many weather forecasters belong to it and provide weather information and caster sources to TV stations, newspapers, radio stations, etc.
In other words, most of the weather forecasts you see here are made here.
That's right. In order for Umutou to confirm his decision again, he has to experience being a weather forecaster.
Yoshida-san, you are also a weather forecaster, right?
Yes, I am a weather forecaster.
How long did it take you to become a weather forecaster?
It took me about three years to become a weather forecaster.
That's too bad.
Even for people who have studied weather forecasting three or four times, or for people who have taken it more than ten times but haven't become a weather forecaster, I think it's pretty tough.
That's right.
Weather forecasters and weather forecasters are different, aren't they?
They are different.
What is different?
If you have a weather forecaster, you can look at weather charts and make your own weather forecast and broadcast it on TV.
However, a weather forecaster can only read what a professional has made in the first place, so there is a difference.
Currently, there are many members who are active as weather forecasters, such as Kashiwagi and Kuramochi.
However, they do not have the qualification to be weather forecasters.
If I get the qualification of weather forecaster, do you think I can do all the jobs of weather forecasters in AKB?
Maybe.
That's good. Then I'll do my best.
Yes.
Well, you said it.
But if you don't have that much motivation, it may be difficult to break through the difficult hurdle.
Then, let's enter the office where the weather forecaster works.
What kind of site is it?
From here to the farthest back is the forecasting site.
Wow, if it's my image, if it's my own image, there's a really big radar or something like that.
Almost everyone here is a weather forecaster, and weather specialists give forecasts every day.
If you go further back...
What you see here is the so-called weather map.
Weather map, which is the material of forecasts, is what you often see on TV.
What's different about this? No, I know it's different, but...
Each of the information written here...
For example, it says something about the temperature, or it says something about the pressure, or it says something about whether it's easy for it to rain...
Each of them uses a weather map and reads it separately.
You're going to go crazy.
No, no, it's going to be fun.
It's not fun, is it?
Hey, hey, you're still a girl.
Can you keep up with me?
As a climate protection activist, why don't you try forecasting a headwind?
This is tomorrow's forecast weather diagram.
Take a look at this and try forecasting tomorrow's weather.
No, no. Please try it.
What? This is a typhoon, right?
It's not a typhoon.
Oh, it's not a typhoon.
Two "l"s. This is what we call "tani", which means "tani" in Japanese.
What is "tani"?
Well, it's easy for the weather to change.
It's called "tani" because of the pressure.
Then is it raining here?
I think it's going to be cloudy or rain.
Well, that's not going to work.
Well, from now on, we're going to dream of passing the exam and do weather forecast simulation.
We're going to try to make a weather forecast manuscript.
This time, we're going to use a pressure map that shows the pressure and position of the power line.
Weather data from all over the country.
Using three basic data from all over the country, we're going to have you write a weather forecast manuscript for the day after tomorrow.
High pressure is approaching.
Is it August?
Power line is...
Oh, I don't know!
Tokyo is...
in the sky...
What is it?
According to the temperature...
Write it down for an hour while thinking about it.
OK.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Shall we actually read it out loud?
Got it.
Can we?
Here we go.
Ready...
It's been raining since this evening. I like clouds more than rain.
Well, tomorrow's weather is too low pressure and high pressure is approaching.
Therefore, western Japan will be sunny overall.
Due to the temperature of the sky in Tokyo, the weather tends to collapse, so it sometimes clouds and rains.
I recommend you to wear a folding umbrella.
Since Okinawa is close to the Bayou Front Line, it will be cloudy.
The temperature is high overall and often goes above 25 degrees.
Tokyo will be a gloomy day.
Western Japan is a good place to go out.
Please be careful of UV rays.
- Are you done? - Yes.
- What do you think of the health you wrote for the first time? - Yes.
- I think you wrote it without knowing anything. - I don't know.
- But isn't it like you? - What do you think of it?
You're full of confidence.
- What is your weather forecast now? - Yes.
- How many points out of 100? - Well...
- About 40 points? - What?
I didn't get half of it.
When Hokkaido people ask you about your weather forecast...
- They don't say anything about it. - They don't say anything about it.
When Hokkaido and Tohoku people ask you about it...
- I think that's the biggest drawback. - I see.
- I want you to look at the weather in Tokyo. - Yes.
- There is an arrow under the umbrella and cloud. - Yes, this one.
This is not "sometimes", but "cloudy", "either", "rain".
- That's the hope. - I see.
- It doesn't say "Sapporo", but... - This is "sometimes".
I see.
I didn't know that, Michi-san.
It's cloudy in the morning, but it rains in the evening and night.
- So, Sapporo is mostly cloudy and "sometimes". - Yes.
- Sometimes it rains and sometimes it doesn't. - I see.
It's good to end with a comment about the UV rays...
- Yes. - But we don't have much time, so...
- Why don't we have a cute or interesting comment from Muto of AKB? - Interesting comment.
Take a break and rewrite your manuscript.
Muto has a suggestion.
Actually, you talk about this manuscript in front of the camera...
...and we ask you to make a video report of your study.
- In the studio in the Japanese Meteorological Association... - Really?
...we have you take this screen in the back.
Wow!
He looks a little worried, but he asks you to show him the studio...
...and challenges himself to be the first weathercaster in his life!
She switches the weather screen behind her with a button in her hand.
Let's start with Ms. Saito, who usually casts.
This is national weather information.
It's June 18th. It's past noon in Tokyo and the sky is cloudy.
It's also raining lightly.
This is tomorrow's national weather.
From Kyushu to the east coast, it will be mostly sunny.
In Tokyo, it will be cloudy and in the evening, the sky will be sunny and it is expected to rain.
Will she be able to read her own script well?
She challenges being a caster for the first time.
I will do my best to pass the national weather forecast exam. I'm Tomu Butou.
It's been raining since this evening.
I was watching DVDs at home.
Tomorrow's weather is...
Low pressure passes and high pressure passes.
It will be sunny from Kyushu region to China region.
Because of dry weather in Tokyo, it will be cloudy and rainy.
It is good to have an umbrella.
Because of low pressure in Hokkaido, it will be cloudy and rainy sometimes.
It will be cloudy in Okinawa because of biofront line.
Because of warm weather in Japan, it will be 25℃ or more.
Because of cold weather in Hokkaido, it will be 20℃ or less.
Because of summer rain in Okinawa, it will be 20℃ or less.
Because of biofront line in Japan, it will be cloudy and rainy.
It will be a humid day in Tokyo.
For people in Tokyo and me, I recommend you to wear a hat because your hair will be curly.
That's it for tomorrow's weather.
As I thought, it is difficult.
What did you think of June's casting?
It is difficult.
Well...
This is...
I have to look down to change the picture.
It is difficult.
Before you get your vision back, you need to practice speaking in the first place, don't you think?
Muto is serious about his law school experience. He starts studying seriously.
Hello, Mr. Mutotomu.
Hello.
Nice to meet you. My name is Takashi Iinuma.
Yes, I'm Mutotomu. Nice to meet you.
This is Mr. Iinuma, who has been teaching law for 20 years.
He is going to teach Muto in detail from now on.
Tests for weather forecasting are divided into general, specialized and practical tests, and are held twice a year.
General and specialized tests are valid for one year if you pass them.
If you pass all of these three fields in the end, you will be able to do weather forecasting.
Now, let's start the class with the goal of passing the weather forecasting test!
Can you see the cloud behind you?
What kind of cloud is it?
I don't know.
It's a meteorite.
I did it!
You did it!
In terms of 50% chance of heavy rain, which one is correct?
50% is one-half chance of rain, isn't it?
So, I think it's 50% chance of rain out of 100% chance of rain.
It's a probability of number of rain.
I see.
In fact, the correct answer is...
That's right.
Great!
This is surprising for general people.
Really?
When is this weather chart?
January or February?
January or February...
Winter!
That's right, it's winter.
That's correct.
That's good.
The first three questions were correct and received high ratings.
However...
I feel like I did this in middle school or high school.
Is it all like this?
It's not that easy.
That's right.
Will it be more difficult?
Of course, you won't pass an exam like this at all.
But it's something you can't talk about unless you know about it.
Yes, up to this point, it's a simple class that doesn't even pass an exam.
However...
In actual exams, problems that seem difficult just by reading like this will come up.
Can you all understand?
It's still difficult, isn't it?
The answer to such exam questions is...
Sleeplessness all of a sudden!
However, Muto desperately tries to understand.
As a result...
It's a simple class.
Is it that simple?
A, B, C, D...
Well, if A is the most difficult...
It's about C.
What?!
It's about C or...
B.
He loses his words due to such difficulty.
And the class is over.
Thank you very much!
Lastly, I'd like to confirm one more time.
Yes.
Well...
Will you take the exam or not?
Yes, I will.
This time, I'm going to try the weather forecast I've always wanted to take.
I know it's very difficult, but I think it will be a chance for me.
I think it will affect my future activities at AKB.
I hope I can meet you all in Niece someday.
Thank you for your support.
A few days ago, the memos staff visited one of the members to convey their feelings.
Speaking of weather forecasters, it's this one.
It's here!
What is it?
It's a memos TV.
What is it?
Good evening.
You scared me!
Good evening!
Can I look at it?
Yes.
Excuse me.
Yes.
Hey, Kashiwagi!
From the second island to Kashiwagi, it's a challenge!
Hey, Kashiwagi!
Tomo-chan!
If I win this time, you will never call me "AKB's sponsor sister" again!
Wash your neck and wait for me!
OK.
I'm nervous now.
Is it over?
Yes.
What do you think, Muto-san?
A weather forecaster?
Maybe, but I don't think I can do it.
But I want you to do your best. I studied a little, but I couldn't do it.
At that time, I was asked if I would pass one out of 100 people.
I couldn't do it, so I didn't challenge it.
But I want you to do your best for me.
If you pass it, you won't be called "AKB weather forecaster" anymore.
Why?
If you pass it and become a weather forecaster...
But if you are a weather forecaster and just a weather forecaster, you have an advantage.
No, it's luck.
It's a little advantage.
No, it's luck.
Well, if you say so...
But let me say something, too.
Hey, Muto. Why do you think I'm a weather forecaster?
I've been doing it for six or seven years.
Well, well.
Seijei, do your best. After you become a weather forecaster, come and challenge me!
Thank you very much.
Let's go home.
What? Are you leaving?
Do your best.
Whether you read it from above or below, Muto flies away.
A 19-year-old girl chasing her dream has just been cut off by a weather forecaster's flute.
Good evening.
We've been waiting for this. It's time for the present quiz!
Here is today's quiz!
Who was the first to arrive at Kashiwani Station?
It seems that the VTR at the station has been replayed nine times.
The deadline is July 8th, Tuesday evening at 6pm.
Ten people will be chosen from among the correct answers.
NEMOS special T-shirt is a present!
NEMOS will continue to support the members who chase their dreams with all their might!
