AISubs v3.5
In August 2014, AKB48 held their first Tokyo Dome concert alone.
I want to quit Team AKB48!
Only 5 months after their formation, AKB48 Team 8 stood on that big stage.
Thank you! Oh, fresh!
Team 8 members, are you ready?
Is it OK?
OK, the next song is Team 8's "Dance"!
This story is a record of sweat and tears of all members of Team 8, a.k.a. Hockey 8, who challenged for a seat in the Tokyo Dome selection 16 people.
I can't do it myself.
I'm afraid I can't dance.
Girls, you're all dead.
Even if you're bad, it's fine.
What if you do your best?
You'll disappear, Team 8.
When girls show their earnestness...
A new idol legend is born.
Sweat and tears create an independent idol.
Someday, for a smile...
A girl's relentless hard work pays off.
a.k.a. Hockey 8, Nino's TV, Season 16.
Your time is special.
a.k.a. Hockey 8.
A new team.
The law has been passed.
Its name is...
Team...
8.
Three months after Team 8's law was passed, this April...
Nice to meet you, everyone!
I'm Team 8 of a.k.a. Hockey 8!
Team 8's concept is not "idols who go to see each other", but "idols who go to see each other".
47 girls who have won auditions in each prefecture and county.
Team 8 of a.k.a. Hockey 8, which is active all over the country and gives energy to fans all over Japan on weekends.
It's the first trial for Team 8 of a.k.a. Hockey 8.
The first trial is for Team 8 of a.k.a. Hockey 8.
The members who appeared in plain clothes were Team 8 of a.k.a. Hockey 8, with a total of 38 members excluding 9 from school events.
In front of these girls who don't know what will happen next, a message from that man is shown.
Team 8, welcome to Memos TV!
That's a very happy reaction.
That's good.
Team 8 is Memos' first appearance, right?
Nice to meet you.
My name is Ugihagi Ogi.
Actually, I have a special report for you girls.
Do you want to hear it?
We want to hear it!
Is it too quiet?
If you don't make it louder, we can't hear you.
We want to hear it!
That's right!
You want to hear it, right?
I have a special report for you girls.
Team 8 will be singing at the AKB48 Tokyo Dome concert this summer!
However...
This is where it gets important.
Listen carefully.
This time, you will select 16 members from Team 8 and stand on the Tokyo Dome stage.
So, I will announce this project.
Team 8 Selection Training Camp - The Way to the Tokyo Dome - Applause!
With a sudden announcement, the members are happy and confused at the same time.
And then...
- Good morning! - Good morning!
It's been a while, everyone. I'm Nobu Kayano, the general manager of Team 8.
It's been a while.
I'd like to introduce one new student.
Ms. Hattori!
She's not coming.
Ms. Hattori, please introduce yourself.
I'm Yuna Hattori, 13 years old, from Gifu Prefecture.
Nice to meet you.
Ms. Hattori, I know it's hard for you, but please do your best.
Please stand over there.
Yes, first of all, of course, 16 people will be selected for this training camp, but the Tokyo Dome is a very important place for AKB48.
You're all AKB48, right? So you stand on that stage. I want you to think of it as something very special, and I want you to have a goal of how you want to change and how you want to grow through this training camp.
So please open the first page of the notebook you all have in your hands right now.
Is there anything in it? Some kind of paper.
Yes, please write your enthusiasm there.
First of all, that is the first task of the training camp.
I don't know how long you'll be smiling like this, but I hope you'll be able to work hard for four days safely, so good luck!
Yes! Thank you very much!
How will the members of Team 8, who will soon become members of AKB48, grow through this training camp?
Here are the members of Team 8 with their own enthusiasm.
First of all, Hokkaido, Tohoku area.
Excluding one member of Team 8, six members will participate.
Next, Kanto area.
Here are two members of Team 8, seven members will participate.
And then Chubu area.
Two members of Team 8, six members will participate.
From the Kansai area, all six will participate.
In China and Shikoku area, two will team up and seven will participate.
In Kyushu area, eight will team up, including Okinawa prefecture, and six will participate.
This is the schedule of the 38 members of Team 8's "Three Nights Four Days" selection training camp.
Singing, dancing and MCing, as well as learning the necessary skills as an idol,
on the final day of the audition, 16 members will be selected to sing a song at the Tokyo Dome stage.
In front of them are the numbers and name tags given in order of 50 syllables and the members are waiting for the teacher.
From anxiety and tension, everyone's expressions are tense.
To there...
Good morning.
I am Sugai, in charge of vocal and voice training.
Sugai Hidenori sensei, who has taught many idols and artists, is in charge of voice training.
You may think of it like a reinforcement training camp, but it's more of an audition than a training camp.
If you can't do it, you drop out of the audition.
It's not a lesson where you stretch out what you can't do, but a lesson where you look at what you're good at and where you have to work hard.
I myself think you have to do it for 24 days, and you have to think more than that.
So I think it's going to be a very tough lesson.
If you can't do it, you drop out of the audition.
It's a short time, but thank you.
First of all, I'd like to check each one's level.
It's my first time meeting you, so I don't know how you'll sing for me.
You don't have to perform anything, but you have to sing with your own feelings and your own way of singing.
Is that okay with you?
Is there anyone who wants to go first?
Let's start with you, Nagano.
Say your name.
The rest of you, please sit down.
You can sit down.
Go ahead and start.
I missed you, I missed you, I missed you, yes!
You...
Right, next, next...
Ah, only there?
Is that it?
No, no, no...
Ah, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine...
Can I?
Bicycle with all my strength
Pedal while climbing a hill
Shirt that is inflated in the wind
I don't have it now...
Yes, thank you, it's fine.
Yes, next person, please.
Thank you very much.
Yes.
Excuse me.
Yes.
I'm Otano, representative of Kyoto Prefecture.
Nice to meet you.
Please.
You are me, I know you are by my side
I can't live well like everyone else
Yes, thank you, it's fine.
Thank you very much.
Oh, everyone, you're not confident anymore? There's no next one?
I'll say one thing, but you have to come out more and more at times like this, okay?
Yes, yes.
Someone's "next" or "ah, next is that one", right? Then I've decided. Yes, you.
Yes.
If you're waiting for someone, you can't be such an entertainer.
Maybe, maybe, it might be love.
There are no clouds in the blue sky.
It's like I've been killed by a heart-shaped virus.
Friend, you shine brighter than memories.
That's one answer for me.
I want to protect you forever.
Just being close to you makes my heart ache.
I'm sorry.
Yes, next.
I'm sorry.
It's a little strange, but you can't help it because you like it, right?
Yes.
Even so, why can't you sing your favorite chorus?
Do you forget it because you're nervous on the way?
Or do you sing it because you see letters like this in karaoke?
What do you mean?
On behalf of...
Number 15, please answer.
Number 15, you don't have to sing it yet.
Yes, why do you think it is?
It's an audition, but...
You want to be a singer, don't you?
You want to be an AKB singer, don't you?
Yes.
What?
You want to be an AKB singer, don't you?
You just want to be an AKB singer, don't you?
Yes.
What do you need to be an AKB singer?
I think you need to sing.
What happens if a singer speaks roughly?
Don't you think so?
Yes.
Do you think so? Then let's speak loudly.
For example, you can stand up and speak.
I think you can stand up and speak more.
I think it's because I don't feel like this is an audition.
If you don't make me excited like the staff here, it won't be Devil Check.
Can you sing if you're having fun?
Will there be a lot of rustling without seeing it?
Come and sing for me.
(Singing)
Thank you very much.
I'm Hijiri Tanikawa from Akita Prefecture. Nice to meet you.
(Singing)
Thank you very much.
Is this all of you?
Is there anyone who hasn't sung yet?
I'm sorry. I'm asking you if there's anyone who hasn't sung yet.
You haven't sung yet, have you?
Who else?
One person?
Were you waiting all the time?
Did you think there might be someone else?
Did you think I was the last one?
You didn't know, did you?
I hope you didn't.
Tell me what you think.
I'm not mad at you.
I don't like it when you don't know what you hate the most.
You thought there might be someone else, didn't you?
It's okay.
(Singing)
Thank you. Is it OK now? Is everyone finished?
Yes.
OK. I understand. I'm a little disappointed, but it can't be helped. We have no choice but to proceed with the time.
Then, voice training will start in three minutes. Take a break and drink water or something like that?
Yes.
(Music)
From the beginning, Mr. Sunei's harsh words continued and the members shed tears unexpectedly.
Other members are also anxious.
But the real lesson hasn't even started yet.
Can you come closer?
I'll do it first.
I put pens and other things down.
Have you ever done it with a boy band?
No.
I don't know how to do it.
First of all, with "oh", can you look at me?
You don't have to look sideways at all.
"Oh", you don't have to look at me.
First of all, when I say "oh", repeat it for me.
"Oh".
Did you sing while feeling like this?
We didn't.
To have a good phrase, you need to increase yourself.
The same goes for dancing. Before dancing, do a stretch, don't you?
So there is a stretch in singing as well.
That is how you practice pronunciation.
That's why I'm saying "oh" now, "oh", "oh", "oh" doesn't work at all.
"Oh".
Take out your voice because "oh" is distinct.
The mouth isn't stuck here.
The physical mouth is here, but the mental mouth is here.
Do you understand?
Yes!
That's it.
Then, with "oh"...
Then, I want you to take a breath.
Take a breath from your nose for now.
At this time, can you imagine "oh, it smells good"?
Then, one more time.
Yes.
One more time, please.
Now, Fuji-san, please go up and breathe in.
See, when you say "haa", your voice changes, doesn't it?
This is facial expression.
I want you to put your facial expression on your breath and breathe in.
Now, Everest, please go up.
This is the voice that makes you feel good.
That means, if you don't do this breathing properly, you won't be able to express your emotions.
Breathe in properly and then breathe out.
While you breathe in...
One, two, three, and out...
You say "haa", don't you?
Three, yes.
Yes.
One, two, three, on.
I want you to imagine it more.
One, two, three, while you close your eyes...
Before you sing, open your eyes...
Think about it and then say "haa".
Yes.
Here we go.
Three, yes...
Close your eyes, one, two, three...
Open your eyes and say "hai".
Yes, and then...
Look up and then...
Sing facing forward, okay?
Stay away and express everything with your body.
One, two, three...
Is that all you have to say?
It's too plain.
It's like, "Whoa!"
Whatever, let's get off.
Whoa! I want to stay here longer!
I can see so much more over there!
Whoa! There are so many clouds over here!
Don't you feel like that?
You can express all of that.
There's no point in appealing to me.
Breath...
Maximum volume...
One, two...
Start!
Whoa!
Okay!
That's enough for you to change your voice, right?
Doesn't your voice sound different now?
It's different.
Of course, it's rough.
Now, you're all going like...
Whoa!
But I want you to let out all of your energy.
I want you to let out all of your energy.
Can you do it one more time?
Yes!
Let's do it two more times.
Take a breath.
One, two, three...
Whoa!
Okay!
That's better.
That's better, but...
Who did that?
Who raised their hands and did it?
Yes!
It's only the side of the road!
You have to express it with your body.
Don't express it only with your head.
You have to express it with your body, too.
As if you're facing the sun.
As if you're going up a mountain.
If you do that, there's no point in doing this.
Express it with your body.
Express dance with your body, too.
Express song with your body, too.
Let's do it one more time!
One, two, three...
Whoa!
Breathe out.
Your hands will bump into each other, so breathe out and do it on your own.
Breathe out.
Three, five, one, two, three...
Okay, you're good.
The ones who are really open are really open here.
Are you going to put your third finger in now or will you put it in and open it for me?
Oh, okay, I'll just...
I'll just do it like this.
Oh...
Oh, oh, oh...
You're going to open it, right?
Yes!
You're going to open it, right?
Yes!
Okay, we're going to use a ping-pong ball from now on.
The ping-pong ball that Mr. Sugai gave away is a nose- open ping-pong ball.
It is said to be used for the formation practice of hitting the base.
Is it okay if I bite into it a little?
What effect does it have?
And you don't make a sound from your mouth.
Mmm...
And you don't make a sound from your mouth.
Mmm... Mmm...
And you don't make a sound from your mouth.
Mmm... Mmm...
You can't make a sound from your mouth right now, can you?
Now, why do we do this?
When you sing with your mouth open, you want to keep it relaxed.
If you open your mouth too narrowly and make a loud noise, your voice will get stuck in your throat.
If you do this, you can't say anything with your jaw.
You can't say anything here, can you?
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm...
You can't fly, can you?
If you do it like this, you'll say anything you want, and you'll say everything you want with your mouth.
You don't have to use your stomach.
If you don't use your stomach, you won't be able to say anything.
If you don't use your stomach, you won't be able to determine your voice or pitch.
I want you to do that, so I'll do it.
Okay, I'll play it for you.
Okay, spread out a little more.
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm...
Mmm... Here you go.
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm...
A little more.
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... There you go.
Mmm... Mmm... Mmm... Yes.
Yes.
From the first line to the second line only.
Someone made a mistake.
Add it well.
One by one.
As a self-evaluation.
As for the center of gravity.
Someone behind in the second line.
Can you go over there?
It's in the way.
Can you look at me?
Only in the second line.
Use your hands.
Step firmly.
Step on the ground.
Move your legs like this.
Keep this in mind.
You can do it.
What are you doing?
It's like...
Wait a minute.
Drop it firmly up to here.
It's about horizontal.
One, two.
Balance with your hands.
Step forward one step at a time.
Next one.
You can make a voice like that.
Then you bite it.
You don't say "yes" here.
You say "woo" here.
Make this force and push it forward.
I'm singing with my mouth.
Don't you feel like you're singing with your stomach?
Yes.
People in the back line, you can do it.
Remember the same thing.
At first, it's like this.
That's what you want to practice.
Got it?
Yes.
Go ahead.
Practice like that.
Got it?
Yes.
Next one.
One, two.
One, two, three.
Ah, I sing in...
Well, you're the last ones and you're the best at it, but you can't do anything.
Go back.
You're the best, aren't you? You've been watching the prelude many times.
Yes, go ahead. Three and four and...
Yes, the prelude comes back from there.
From there...
Can you do it all this time?
OK?
Yes, what are you listening to? It's the second time and you're playing the piano, aren't you?
How long are you going to play it like that?
Three and four and...
That's right. Let's take one last step forward and do what you just did.
You can do "ah".
Yes!
Yes, are you OK? Let's go from there again.
One, two, bruce.
Let's take a little break. Yes, bruce time.
One, two, three and...
Three and four and...
Let's do it together, bruce.
One, two and...
Go!
Yes, that's good. Let's do "oh".
One, two, three, four!
Keep it! Don't return the ball!
With that mouth! One, two, three, four!
Yes!
For now, the voice practice is over.
I'm sure you all have your own thoughts, but I'm sure you have your own time, so please use it and come up with an idea.
You're human, so you can do it, right?
Yes!
Speaking of auditions, there should be a song that will definitely appear there.
The song is "Junen Zakura".
AKB48 11th single "Junen Zakura" released in 2009.
This song is the main song of this audition training camp.
It is a song chosen by 16 people to perform at the Tokyo Dome.
Can you sing for me?
1, 2, 3, 4!
Like dancing in the wind, it's time for everyone to flap their wings
Um...
When you look at it, I have a favor to ask you.
Don't just look at it with your hands.
Look up and look at it.
Yes, sir!
And now, I'm sorry, but I think more than half of you are just reading it.
It's not just reading it.
Will you draw your soul in by singing the words and melodies that are there?
Yes, sir!
Will you draw your soul in by singing the words and melodies that are there?
Yes, sir!
Do you really want me to feel this content?
Yes, sir!
Then let's talk about the lyrics.
Go ahead.
Somewhere in the sky, it's time for everyone to flap their wings and walk out alone like dancing in the wind.
The place where you and I met...
I'm sorry, Onishi!
Can you read it for me?
Somewhere in the sky, cherry blossoms...
Did you say "let's stop" while looking down and singing?
Yes.
Somewhere in the sky, cherry blossoms are dancing in the wind.
I want you to feel it.
I want you to see it with your eyes, but only with your white eyes.
I want you to smell it and feel the temperature.
One more time?
Yes.
Like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind somewhere,
When it's time for everyone to fly, I walk out alone.
The meaning of the season that I met you.
That smile was dazzling.
Yes, I'm sorry.
I'm getting tired of it all of a sudden.
Yes, I'm sorry.
I'm glad it was just the beginning.
I think I know what you mean.
Can you all do it one more time like that?
Yes.
Let's do it. Go ahead.
Cherry blossoms dancing in the wind somewhere...
Is "somewhere" here?
Huh?
No.
It's not, is it?
Where is "somewhere"?
I know where it is.
It's "rainbow Canada."
Oh, it's over there! It's over there!
It's "somewhere", isn't it?
Can you stop saying cold words like "somewhere"?
Yes.
I'll say it again.
Cherry blossoms dancing in the wind somewhere...
No one had time to fly, I walked out alone.
Now, let's all sing it again.
Yes.
I'm sorry. Just one line is fine.
Are you ready?
One, two...
One, two, three, four!
Cherry blossoms dancing in the wind somewhere...
I've been saying it for a while now, but I won't look down!
No one had time to fly, I walked out alone.
I've been saying it for a while now, but you can clearly see me singing like this.
When you sing, you show your facial expressions.
That's why you raise your forehead like this.
It's not about singing or expressing here.
I want you to express all of this in the world.
It doesn't matter if you have wrinkles or something on your forehead.
It doesn't matter if you have a weird face.
I want you to express it there now.
Let's start from here.
I won't forget. One, two, three, four.
While you're at it, stop looking down like that!
I don't need it anymore!
Second row!
Sit down! Get out of my way!
I don't need it anymore!
Come up with something! Get out of my way!
Go over there!
If you can't do it like this, you can do it like this!
Do you have to be told that every time?
Okay, one more time!
One, two...
Somewhere...
Somewhere, cherry blossoms are dancing in the wind.
When it's time for everyone to fly, I start walking alone.
While you're at it, you have to be able to talk.
You have to be able to speak technically.
You have to be able to speak.
We'll talk about that later.
Okay, next row!
Can you come forward a little bit?
There are two rows left, right?
The reason I met you is because of the season I like.
Your smile is dazzling.
I want to go with you, but don't cry like that.
I won't forget you.
Okay, that's good.
I don't feel anything just by singing here and in my hair.
Okay, next!
Doesn't it feel warmer?
Not only do you have to keep up with the words,
but can you do it one step ahead of others?
Yes!
It's kind of...
wet!
sweet!
light!
It's too heavy!
Let's do it again.
Lesson starts in two and a half hours.
Professor Sugai's strict but loving words resonate in the members' hearts.
Today is a process.
Now, it's time for us to meet again.
Rather than a love that burns out quickly,
stay as you are now.
The voice that came out earlier is stuck, isn't it?
The voice that came out earlier,
just by singing it here,
it's like...
the scale is getting smaller, isn't it?
Reading is such a difficult thing!
On the contrary, you remember it first!
I think it's fast.
And, in order to do this song here,
there's something I want you to do by tomorrow.
There's something called "vocalise method".
Vocalise method is...
a method of singing lyrics with only vowels.
It's one of the basic voice training.
Now, let's sing it slowly and see how it is!
One, two, three, four!
This is the song.
Here, the instructions to make all of the difficult song "Junnenzakura" into vowels came out.
The members of Team 8 are quietly working.
Even though they're clumsy, they're all working hard.
Sato?
Number 11, Sato Akari.
Give it a try.
While you're at it, give it a try.
I'll start from the beginning.
One, two, one, two, three, four.
(Singing)
While you're lining up, make sure you have the right intonation.
You don't just sing.
There are three cherry blossoms somewhere.
(Singing)
While you're at it, make sure you have the right intonation.
It may be your first time, but give it a try.
Next.
I want to hear it.
Hattori.
Thank you.
Hattori.
Come in front of the microphone.
Here we go.
One, two, three, oh.
(Singing)
It's no good. Okay, next.
Am I confident in this?
Don't you have confidence?
Somehow it's too low.
Is there anyone who is confident?
Yes, please.
Let's go.
(Singing)
Yamamoto-san, when you're desperate, you just read it. Remember this properly.
(Singing)
Hey, do you remember the lyrics?
Yes.
Say it somewhere.
Somewhere, like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind,
it's time for everyone to fly and walk out alone.
Then, just say "boyn" there.
(Singing)
Can you express it all?
(Singing)
That means you can't get in while you're doing it.
If you can't get out of it,
(Singing)
Can you say "boyn" as soon as you see it?
Yes.
One more time.
It's sweet.
However, I appreciate that you said "boyn" as soon as you saw it.
You should say it more clearly.
You should say "I know this person. I know the lyrics. I can see it."
If you don't say it clearly, people won't pay attention to you.
It's annoying.
Next.
I'm sorry.
I can't see you.
You don't say it, do you?
OK.
Let's practice together.
How should we practice?
Come forward.
Let's do it slowly.
Three, four.
Wait a minute.
It came out this morning, didn't it?
Don't sing like a demon.
Yes.
Three, four.
Don't stick out your mouth like you're kissing.
If you're giving up because you don't know what you're saying, why don't you leave here and go home?
Think about it and go home by yourself.
Will you stop here because you're half-hearted?
Do you know you're doing difficult things?
It's difficult, so let's leave it.
If you're going to do something like that, you can't do it from the beginning.
You can rest.
It's annoying for the lesson according to your mood.
There's no point in you not coming closer to my lesson!
Yes!
You need to concentrate for the next three days.
If you have a voice, anyone can sing this song.
Even if you're not good at it, why don't you do your best?
Yes!
How do you do it?
Did you forget to ring the bell when you're yawning like this?
I know you're doing a lot of push-ups in such a short period of time.
Do this, do that, do this, too.
People who haven't done it yet can come up to the stage.
It's not such a sweet world.
Yes!
To relieve your throat burden, if you lower your center of gravity a little, you can use your stomach.
How about your legs at that time?
Look straight ahead!
Let's speed up.
Thank you!
I'll give you one point.
This part is difficult.
You go up to a very high place.
At that time, you should...
Since it's "sakurano", it's "a" and "o", right?
You should value "o" more than "a".
Moreover, you should lower your stomach muscle called "tanden".
Look at me.
Just remember "sakurano".
Look at me.
Yes, this is all closed.
Ah, woo, ah, oh, eh, like that.
Yes.
Ah, woo, ah, oh, oh.
Yes. Ah, woo, ah, oh, eh, like that. Yes.
One more time. One, two, three, four.
One more time. Three, four.
You've said enough. One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
You just sang with your stomach.
You don't have to do this.
One, two, three.
Your body remembers it.
You don't have to do this.
Just sing with your feelings.
Let's do it together.
One, two, three.
That's how you do it.
Let's do it with your body.
Three, four.
The pitch goes up.
That's how you express your feelings.
I want you to practice like this.
Tomorrow, each group will sing with their voice only.
We've learned a lot today.
How to sing with your voice?
We don't have much time.
I can only tell you one thing.
First of all, you have to stop singing with your throat.
You have to stop singing with your throat.
You can't sing this song while dancing from beginning to end.
Of course, you can't sing from beginning to end.
But you can't sing this song alone.
How many songs do you sing? You sing about 20 songs, don't you?
You can't do that, can you?
To do that, you need basics.
The difference between professionals and amateurs is that you can't just sing.
Whether it's dancing, singing, or singing,
if you learn the basics, you can give something to people.
I want you to learn the basics.
I'll tell you one of the basics.
I sang 'oh ay oh'
Oh my God, I have to look at the lyrics
What am I saying here even if I look at the lyrics?
Oh ay oh
Is this 'oh' 'oh' 'oh'?
Are we Japanese who have to think about that now?
Not us, but you.
Singers sing with vowels.
They just add a 'shin' to it.
They add this 'shin' to the vowels.
But they sing with 'ah woo ah oh'.
The reason is...
Please say 'sah' with me.
Sah
Ah
Those of you who sang 'sah' should know.
You can only add 'ah woo ah oh' to 'do re mi fa sol la si do'.
You can't add 'shin'.
That means, when you sing...
One of the most important words is...
'Ah woo ah oh' and 'do re mi fa sol la si do' have to go together.
You add 'shin' only when you sing beautifully.
I think singing without knowing it is just an amateur.
To practice it, I want you to sing with your throat until tomorrow.
I want you to sing with your throat until you have an amp.
If you can sing with your throat and an amp, you should be able to speak normally.
There is an audition on the day of the talent show tomorrow.
You have been practicing for about three hours today.
It will be about four hours tomorrow.
I noticed it, too.
What you need is to use your antenna for those three hours.
Look with your eyes and listen with your ears.
For example, there may be a smell.
Feel it with your skin and sing with your heart at the end.
If you know what it is like to sing, I think this class will be a success.
I think people who know that will leave good grades in the audition.
Who is your rival?
My rival is Maria.
What about you, Ishimizu?
I'm Yokomitsu.
Do you know if you have a rival here?
My rival is me.
I think you have been practicing for these three days.
If you don't fight with yourself, you won't be able to catch up.
If you remember everything I said today, you will probably be better tomorrow.
That's all for today. Thank you for your hard work.
Everyone gets nervous at first, so there's a part where it gets hard, but even in that, I want you to see yourself as hard as you are.
Some people come crashing into you, and some people are trapped in you.
It's not like everyone should come crashing into you, but I think each and every one of you has your own personality.
Looking at it as a whole, I don't know if everyone is like that now, but I feel like they're not very active.
I think it's been quite a survival for the past three days, but I wonder if we can get over it.
We're all starting out the same way, so we can't be involved in just one person.
That's why everyone was with me today for the same amount of time.
Also, how each and every one of us will change in this short period of time until tomorrow.
What will she do about this song until tomorrow?
If you could take the time to think about it one by one, I think it would make sense what we did today.
Will I be passionate about it tomorrow?
I'm not sure about that yet.
Even after lessons are over, they're still working on their homework.
How do they feel about today's lesson?
I had a lot of things to do, and it was my first time doing all of them, so I didn't have the ability to rest, so I had to train a little more.
It was a lesson I wanted to train at this training camp.
I was surprised that I couldn't do it so far.
I have a low voice and I don't have a high voice.
But what I learned today is that if you put your center of gravity a little lower, you can really come out, so I'm going to practice that all day today.
I don't want to bend it, so I'll do my best.
I couldn't do it myself. Even if I was told to express it, it became hard and I wanted to do it.
So I want to be softer and be able to express it.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't come out when I said I was confident, and I was very frustrated.
I was very frustrated, so I thought I'd master it by tomorrow.
It was the first time for me to sing in front of everyone, and I was nervous and proud.
I think it's just started, but my voice is small on a daily basis, and I haven't been able to sing for a long time.
I'm going to do my best tomorrow, so I want to sing.
Voice training, which was overwhelmingly successful in front of everyone's own challenges.
However, they change their minds at lunchtime.
Thank you for watching until the end.
How long do you think it took you to leave Okinawa from Tottori?
One hour.
We weren't allowed to say "OK" or "no" even once.
It was terrible.
It was tough, but they said in front of us that we weren't good enough or that we were too sweet.
I'm grateful for that.
There were members who didn't let go of their credit cards even during a peaceful lunch break.
It was Fujimura of Aichi Prefecture who was crying during a lesson.
I know you're leaving me behind, right?
I know you're leaving me behind a lot.
Right? Right?
You can do it.
Do you practice in the bath?
Do you sing in the bath?
The lesson had just begun.
Two, two, two.
They are teammates but rivals.
The battle against Team A continues.
During the training camp of three nights and four days, there are only ten hours of free time except for lessons.
In other words, how they spend this time determines their fate.
Like this.
Sing like this.
Yes, like that.
Sing all of it.
Come here!
[Vocalise]
The challenges she faced in voice training.
Repeating the vocalise technique as many times as she can.
And...
Good morning!
I will be your dance teacher. I'm Anna Makino. Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you!
To teach dance lessons, Anna Makino, who is also in charge of choreography of akb48, will appear.
I want to ask you all one thing. Are you suitable for standing on that dome stage now?
We are not suitable.
What do you lack?
We lack experience and everything.
That's right. You lack experience, technology and fame.
What do you think you should do to stand on that stage in a few months?
What can you do?
Practice. Practice. Practice.
You have no choice but to work hard, don't you?
Yes.
What you all have to do now is to be in a very intense state.
If you are standing here with acceptance, please think it's impossible.
I have no intention of pulling you up in the lesson.
You absorb it yourself, you learn it yourself and you go up yourself.
Yes.
I don't want you to say stupid things like "focus" or "do it properly".
Don't give me such low-level instructions.
Yes.
We don't have much time.
Yes.
If you are not serious, please leave now.
I only want you to be serious.
It's not what you think, it's what I think.
Are you ready?
Yes!
Okay, we'll start with "stretch", so please spread out.
What Ms. Anna wants is not the seriousness of what you think,
but seriousness conveyed to others.
How far can they understand the true meaning of those words?
Today, I'd like you all to learn the choreography for "Ten Year Cherry Blossom".
But before that, I'd like to see how well you can do it,
so three of you will come forward and dance to "Ten Year Cherry Blossom", okay?
I won't say it again, but please listen carefully.
You'll dance to "Ten Year Cherry Blossom" while singing.
It doesn't matter if you don't know the lyrics.
You'll dance while singing.
And for the choreography, even if you know a little bit of it,
you won't dance at all.
Please dance freely.
There's only one thing I want from you all.
Please do your best in everything you can do now.
Got it?
- Yes! - Yes!
Then, I don't want you to look in the mirror, so we'll do it facing the other direction.
I don't want you to see what others are doing, so please come over here.
- Yes! - Yes!
Face the wall and sit down.
Like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind with fireworks in their eyes,
I feel like I'm walking alone, naked and excited for no one.
Thank you very much.
Like a cherry blossom petal dancing in the wind and firecrackers
Like a summer day that has stopped for sure
That smile is dazzling
I'm waiting for you. I'm more excited than I am now.
Thank you very much.
I hope the cherry blossoms will dance with the wind.
Don't say things you can't say with all your might.
I want you to forget me.
I want to fly higher than anyone else.
I'll walk out of the crowd.
More than the seasons that have passed since I met you.
That smile was so fun.
I'm waiting for you. I'm more excited than I am now.
Don't say things you can't say with all your might.
Thank you very much.
Everyone, please stand up.
Everyone's dance is over.
Did Ms. Anna feel their seriousness?
Oh, my...
It's tough. Wait a minute.
I thought it wouldn't be as good as I expected.
But I was hoping that at least one of you would say, "Wow, she's good."
I was looking forward to it until the end, but there wasn't one of you.
There's no one who sings Mansu's song properly.
No voice at all.
Some people say, "Don't dance even if you know how to dance."
You didn't listen to me properly, did you?
Feelings are amateurs.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Yes!
Really? Do it!
With all your might!
Move your own body as much as you can!
Use all your sensibility!
Team A will disappear!
You're all useless guys.
You don't even have a fragment of a hungry spirit!
If I tell you to do it with all your might, do it with all your might!
Yes!
Everyone, do it with all your might!
Do it with all your might!
Use your own sensibility!
It's not just about moving your body.
If you don't move your feelings, you won't be able to move your body.
Just do it with all your might!
Yes!
You have to sing, too!
Yes!
Sing!
What the hell is that?
It's not the volume of 38 people singing, is it?
I told you to sing all of it, didn't I? Why don't you sing?
Why did you start singing in the middle of it?
Sing it!
Yes!
Yes.
Sing with all your might!
It's not like that!
It has nothing to do with you!
Use your face more!
Yes! Stop!
See? It's in place now.
I told you to use it freely!
No one is doing anything. Do you know why?
It's because no one is moving.
If someone doesn't do it, no one will do it.
You're just going wild like this, aren't you?
You said you had an imagination and courage, didn't you?
Try doing something different!
Yes.
Hey!
Yes, one more time.
Yes.
Somewhere, like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind,
the time has come for everyone to fly and start walking all alone.
Cherry blossoms are repeated over and over again.
Somewhere, like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind,
the time has come for everyone to fly and start walking all alone.
No matter how many times you hit your butt like this,
what you want from everyone now is useless.
All you can do is say you'll do your best.
You don't want anything more than that.
And you haven't even cleared it.
Do you understand?
If you haven't cleared it yet, why do you have to give in to someone who hasn't cleared it yet?
This will last forever. I'll do it.
Then decide it in one shot. I'll give in to someone who has cleared it.
- Yes. - Yes. - Yes.
Like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind of a firework show
When it's time for everyone to fly
I start walking alone
The reason I met you is because I like you
That smile was dazzling
We can't go together, but don't cry like that
I won't forget you
Ten years later, we'll meet again at this place
Shine brighter than you are now
The process of graduation is the best vow
Always love you more than love that burns out soon
Yes, that's it!
You can take it off.
- Yes. - Yes.
- Get ready for the free dance. - Yes.
Yes.
Yes, one more time.
Keep dancing five times.
The one who got the reservation OK is Yokomichi from Shizuoka Prefecture.
The other members keep dancing even more.
Okay, stop!
Hey, stop!
Yes.
If you're told to do it, your voice will come out.
If you're told you can do it, do it before you're told.
- Yes. - Yes.
Somewhere, like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind,
time comes for everyone to fly.
When I met you, it was already past the season,
and your smile was so dazzling.
I can't go with you, but don't cry like that.
I won't forget you.
Let's meet again in ten years.
I'll be waiting for you in this place.
Shine brighter than you are now.
Let's start with the free wrestle members over there.
Everyone, this way.
Come this way, too.
Ms. Anna started the ten-year-old cherry blossom freestyle dance with only five people.
The rest of the members will continue dancing until their seriousness is conveyed.
"La, la, la" is free.
You need endurance, but also quickness.
There are so many of you, right?
In an instant, you'll go "bang!"
You'll go to the girls who will come in.
Do you understand?
So, if you don't have quickness, you won't be able to do it.
No matter how hard you try,
there is a moment when you will look down on yourself among so many of you.
The girls who are dancing now can do it.
Yes.
Okay, let's go.
La, la, la
Somewhere, like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind
When it's time for flowers to bloom for everyone
I start walking by myself
As they were divided, the members got more and more OKs from Ms. Anda.
However, many members were still not able to convey their seriousness.
Then...
I'll eat a little more.
The main cause of people who are dancing very hard but are not selected is their eyes.
They don't look anywhere at all.
The part that expresses one's emotions the most is the eye in one's body parts.
So, whether it's the image of having customers in front of you or having some goal and telling one's everything to that person,
I'm going to tell you one thing at a time.
That's how you come to live with your eyes for the first time in your life.
So, don't think about anything and just go wild is no good.
People who don't have eyes are no good.
Yes.
♪
I'm Ayuki!
Um...
♪
No.23 and No.2 are left and everything else is OK.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Yes, both of you.
As I said earlier, it's the eyes.
Um...
Maybe you don't have confidence in yourself.
But you don't have confidence and you don't have feelings.
Now all of that is showing up in your face.
Anyway, whether you can clear one of the walls you are given now,
don't cry or be depressed.
Change your feelings and fight with all your might.
You have to fight with yourself who you want to face down.
You have to face yourself and go beyond yourself.
Similarly, your body is moving a lot, but your emotions don't show up in your eyes.
Why do you think that is?
It's because you don't have your feelings in the song and you don't know what you want to say.
You don't know what you want to say in the song, so you forget about it and just focus on dancing and singing.
Okay, let's do it.
You don't look up!
You don't speak up!
Look down!
Your face is dead!
Look at me!
Look at me and tell me everything!
Look at me!
Your face is dead!
Look at me!
Look at me and tell me everything!
Your face is dead!
Can I stop?
Can you do it from behind?
Can you do it?
I can do it.
Then, please.
Oh, I see.
Somewhere, like cherry blossoms becoming blue and wind,
I feel like I can fly and walk on my own.
OK. Not yet.
OK for Gifu Prefecture's Hattori, but only one left.
Drink some water.
Take a break and change your mind.
There's no point in doing it now.
First of all, remember the hands.
On your palms, "kimi to aeta koto ga"
You can do this with your knees, too.
"paa" out and "unazuku"
Don't put your hands under your face, but just under your chin.
sono egao ga
sono egao ga mabushikatta
Iwasaki Prefecture, Nagasaki Prefecture, can't settle down.
In the meantime, the gap with the members is widening.
"nikai" with only your face.
Don't grab it three times.
"hidari kakao" "nikai"
As we're crying, we're all moving forward.
issho ni yukenai kedo
If you can cry and get better, you can cry as much as you want, but you're just wasting your time crying, aren't you?
Change your feelings. That's very important.
There will be a lot of things you can't do in the future.
At that time, you don't have to cry because you're sad, but you have to feel like you're doing your best.
Crying doesn't change anything, you know?
Because you're crying, your feelings are falling, you know?
For example, the first song starts and you feel like you're about to cry, but your face is full of sadness.
It's always like that.
You don't know it yourself. You may be trying to be cheerful, but it doesn't show on your face at all.
You always have a pitiful face, a sad face, and a painful face.
You can't do that.
Yes, please.
Yes, that's it!
Don't cry! You look like you can't hold it in!
No, no, no.
No, no.
I won't forget you.
Oh, oh, oh.
It's only the first moment.
You're trying so hard.
Do you think you're doing it?
No.
Sad feelings come out while you're doing it.
No, you can't do that.
It's not a game.
Look at it just one more time.
If you can't do it, just give up.
I won't teach you how to swing.
Think of it as your last chance.
Don't do it now.
When you feel like you can do it, do it again.
Make up your mind.
If you can't do it once, you can do it later.
She gave up her last chance.
Iwasaki, Nagasaki.
But she can't stop crying.
I can't go with you, but don't cry so much, I won't forget you.
One more time, "dokoka de".
One, two...
dokoka de sakura no hanamira ga enhanari o kaze ni mamu you ni
Thank you for watching and have a nice day!
Somewhere, a flower petal blooms and dances in the wind.
I feel like I can fly and walk alone with someone.
I like meeting you and I love you.
Your smile is dazzling and I love you.
Don't leave me and I won't forget you.
I'll meet you again in ten years and I'll wait for you in this place.
I'll meet you again like everyone else and I'll wait for you in ten years and I'll wait for you in this place.
I'll love you more than I love you now and I'll love you forever.
When you feel like you've got nothing else to do, can you do it seriously?
If you can't do it, you can't do it.
If you can do it, you can do it.
You have to do it with that feeling all the time.
You can do it if you do it.
But you have to be serious.
Do you know that feeling of being serious?
You have to do it every time.
Do you understand?
Yes, I understand.
Thank you very much.
One, two...
It's been an hour and a half since the performance began.
Finally, everyone started dancing.
"Sakura no Hanabira" (Cherry Blossom Tree)
The gap between the two members and the other members is huge.
"Sakura no Hanabira" (Cherry Blossom Tree)
Lessons are held during self-study practice.
"Sakura no Hanabira" (Cherry Blossom Tree)
(Iwasaki, Nagasaki)
Iwasaki in Nagasaki is trying to catch up with the other members.
Behind her...
I couldn't keep up with everyone.
I couldn't dance well.
I couldn't do my best.
(Hattori, Gifu Prefecture)
Hattori in Gifu Prefecture just joined Team 8.
The members are gently reaching out to her.
I think my consciousness is starting to change little by little.
But now...
I feel like I'm getting back to zero.
First of all, I don't have a hungry spirit.
It's natural for me to be given.
So I'm going to be more and more desperate.
Otherwise, I think it's too rude to stand in the same place as the current AKB members.
I don't know if you can see it or not.
Who can do it alone by sound?
Everyone, sit down.
I'll do it.
Please.
Like the petals dancing in the wind and in the flowers,
everyone has their own time,
and walk out on their own.
The days I met you are like the seasons that have passed.
When I said I was confident, I couldn't go out.
I'm so frustrated.
In voice training, she couldn't actively go forward and was frustrated.
But she took the courage and took a step forward.
Graduation is black.
Under the red curtain,
I see you again right away.
My dear, stay with me.
Like the petals dancing in the wind and in the flowers,
everyone has their own time,
and walk out on their own.
I hope I can protect you more.
Thank you very much.
Ikumi.
Yes.
I think you did your best to come out and do it all by yourself.
I'm glad about that.
And when you make a mistake, you can't show it to your face.
The moment you make a mistake, it's a mistake.
Even if you make a mistake, you have to cover it up and do it all.
So don't show it to your face.
Yes. Thank you very much.
You may feel like you've learned how to do your best.
But you'll be back to normal soon.
You're not serious at all.
You're not like, "I don't know how to do it."
This is a competition, isn't it?
If you're serious about self-training and practicing how to do your best, you'll know how many people are there.
That's why you can dance by yourself.
If you're serious about it, you can dance by yourself.
Even if you're serious about it, you can dance by yourself.
Isn't it like that?
Are you ready?
If you stay like this and wait for tomorrow, you'll never make it.
Stand up.
It's too early for you to relax.
Be serious.
Let's do it with sound.
Like a petal dancing in the wind
Open your eyes wide and look into my eyes
It hurts, but it's painful
I'm still in love with you
I want to meet you again.
I'm still in love with you.
Okay, that's good.
That's it for today's lesson.
Before we start tomorrow's lesson, I have one request for you all.
Please do your best.
Okay!
I'd like to see how much effort you put in each one of you tomorrow.
Okay!
That's it for today. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work!
After the lesson, where did Ms. Anna head to?
Come here for a second.
Um...
We've been mixing things up since today, right?
Yeah.
I think entering a place like this for the first time like this is mentally very hard.
There are only people who have no experience or don't know anything.
But you've decided it yourself, haven't you?
If you're trying to get results here now that you've suddenly come in, you have to get stronger and work harder than anyone else here.
It's something you can never win.
And if you don't want to win it, there's no point in participating here.
The more you do it, the more you feel like you're going to win.
If you can't do that, you have to retire.
What will you do?
I'll do it.
And then, you have to get stronger than you can die today.
Got it?
Yes.
If you let your guard down a little, you'll have fun and enjoy it right away.
It's okay to enjoy it, but it's okay if you can get results.
But I can't get the results right, but I'm relaxed.
It's like an audition.
To answer the challenges I've been given more.
There's no seriousness or crisis like that.
It's not always like this, it's not like that.
If you don't have time, you don't have time.
I have to teach you carefully.
If you think you're getting a little closer to zero, you'll go back to normal again.
How many of you can keep it up until tomorrow?
I think I'll be able to answer that tomorrow.
The real purpose of Ms. Anna's selection this day...
It's to give them a sense of crisis.
Those who can take lessons and those who can't.
That's where the hungry spirit finally sprouted up.
Ms. Sugai, a voice trainer, also wanted the same thing.
After the lesson, in the corner of the room, one of the members has an accident.
It's Tottori Prefecture's Nakanoyo, who just finished dancing by herself.
What's wrong?
I can't breathe. I can't move my arms. I can't move my legs.
It seems that the stress from extreme tension has caused low breathing.
Thank you for watching again today. Have a nice day!
Go! Go! Go!
I don't know...
I don't like it at all.
I thought it was over.
But there is only one chance, so I have to be serious.
I wasn't able to be serious about myself, and I wasn't able to be serious about others.
I was happy to be able to do it for the first time.
It was my first time.
I wasn't able to be serious about myself, and I wasn't able to be serious about others.
I was crying all the time.
I was really happy about it, but I couldn't do it.
I wanted to practice during breaks, but I wasn't able to do it.
I was frustrated.
After class, it's dinner time.
That's it.
Aren't you going to eat?
It's already lined up. What a waste of food.
I'm a little nervous.
As I thought, it's the first time for me and my rivals to feel like that.
It was really hard for me. I really hate dancing.
Go away!
I'm from Okinawa Prefecture in the southernmost area of Japan.
I'm 12 years old and my name is Kotomi Ranri.
I'm training now, but I'll do my best!
One, two, three! Black pig, black stone, green stone.
Can you introduce yourself?
Black pig, black stone, green stone. I'm from Nagashima Prefecture.
I'm 13 years old.
Face the camera and do your catchphrase.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
Three, two, one, go!
What was it?
AKB48 Team 8's mascot, Fuchi-san and Ochato-yan are...
Shizuoka!
Bingo!
From Shizuoka Prefecture, I'm... Yoko... Michi... Yuri!
I'm 13 years old!
But I'll do my best not to become a 13-year-old even if I'm a 13-year-old!
Please support me!
With everyone's smiles...
From Kumamoto Prefecture, I'm Kurano Anarumi. I'm 13 years old and I'm from Yokohama Prefecture.
Please support me!
I've decided! I've decided!
I'll do my best!
Yes! Spring, summer, autumn... Who do you like?
Summer!
Winter!
Autumn!
Please support me, everyone!
From Toyama Prefecture, I'm Megane-chan and I'm your Cupid!
Spring, summer, autumn and winter are important!
It's summer!
It's winter!
It's summer!
It's winter!
I'll do my best to make you happy and smile!
Please support me!
Summer! Summer, summer, summer! It's definitely summer!
After eating and refreshing, the members go back to their warm hearts.
They review what they learned that day and prepare for the next lesson.
Thank you!
Ten years later, I'm waiting for you in this place again.
I wish I could shine brighter than I do now.
Like a firefly dancing in the wind,
I was walking alone under the warm sunshine of January.
Let's watch it again.
It's a reversal, isn't it?
It's not a reversal.
There is a reversal app, isn't it?
What kind of video is it?
Well...
It's a video of a firefly dancing with a teacher.
We are watching it together now.
Firefly dancing with a teacher.
Ah, scary, scary, scary!
Until the next morning's lesson resumes, how much can they change?
The night of survival training camp is long.
Training camp, morning of the second day, seven o'clock.
In the gym where the lesson will be held on this day, there were members who started self-training early.
After that, while the preparation for the lesson was not finished yet, they began to gather one after another.
Of course, in order to work hard all day, having breakfast is also a battle.
And one hour before the lesson begins, everyone gathers in the gym and checks each other's movements according to the 10-year-old cherry blossoms that keep falling over and over again.
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
I can sing like I did yesterday, and I'm wrong, but I think I've changed a lot.
I'm too naive, but I can't get stronger like this, and I can't catch up with my seniors, so I'm going to work harder than my seniors.
Yesterday, I did my best and forgot the most important thing, which is to have fun, so I'm going to have fun and do my best today.
[Applause]
[Music]
It's muscle pain.
No way!
It's true.
Oh, my God!
I was impatient because everyone was getting better than yesterday.
[Applause and cheers]
Good morning.
Today is the second day of lessons, but I think this will be the last day of lessons.
Please do your best.
Yes!
So, for now, in yesterday's lesson, we gave you the minimum things.
Choreography, right?
So you don't have to do today's lesson.
So, only for those of you who really want to do it, I want you to do the lesson.
Minimum things.
Surpass yourself of yesterday.
Not everyone who did it first.
Everyone who did it last.
Surpass yourself of yesterday.
And for those of you who can't surpass it, I don't think it makes sense to do the lesson after this.
I won't do it.
Please leave without mercy.
So, please leave with that intention.
Yes!
So, three of you will do it today.
You can do it as you like.
Okay, let's go.
Please.
Like a petal dancing in the wind and withering away,
the time has come for me to leave everyone behind and start walking on my own.
The seasons I spent with you were good,
and your smile was fun.
I love you, but don't leave me like this.
I won't forget you.
And I'll run.
I hope you'll think of me more than you do now.
Open your eyes.
Graduation is close.
It's almost time.
Like a love that burns out quickly,
I'll always love you.
Okay, everyone, please come here.
Okay, well...
First of all, the first three people.
None of you.
First of all, Abe-san.
Okay.
Your eyes are not fixed at all.
No power.
Okay.
Um...Yasaki.
Yes.
You're not singing.
Okay.
Ota.
Yes.
I have no complaints about your expression.
But you're not singing.
Okay.
I don't approve of you singing like you're humming.
I'll judge whether you're singing well or not.
Okay.
If you're okay with it, come here.
If you're not okay with it, come here.
And...Ju-san.
No.
You're not singing.
And...um...concentration.
Your eyes are not fixed while you're singing.
Okay.
Um...Ju-hachi and Ju-ku.
Both of you don't look like you're concentrating.
And you don't have power in your eyes.
No good.
Okay.
Ni-ju-ku.
Yes.
You're not singing.
You're moving a lot.
Your expression and balance are all good.
But you're not singing.
Okay.
Ni-san-ju.
Yes.
You're not singing.
Okay.
And Sanji and Miyazato, you're moving so much, but you're just rampaging now and you're not thinking about the song or the song's content.
So you don't have feelings in your eyes.
Sanji, you're amazing, but think about the meaning of the lyrics a little more and I think there's an expression that comes out of the lyrics,
but now it doesn't matter, you're just doing it.
You're very motivated, so it's okay, but don't misunderstand that.
Yes.
Thirty-seven.
You don't have power in your eyes.
Yes, you can't.
Thirty-eight.
You don't have power in your eyes either.
Yes.
The balance of the dance is great, but you don't have feelings in your eyes.
Yes.
Okay, then this team will check the choreography.
Yes.
This team will practice by themselves.
Yes.
At the first check, 22 people admitted their seriousness.
This member proceeds to the choreography test of "Ten Years of Cherry Blossoms" that she learned the day before.
Yes, I'll do it.
Well, then...
I'd like you to pretend to be five people at a time.
From one to five.
Anything else, please wait in the back.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you for your cooperation.
♪ Like cherry blossoms dancing in the fireworks and wind,
♪ when it's time for everyone to fly,
♪ I start walking all by myself.

At this stage, the members were divided into three groups, A, B, and C.
The A group, which passed the choreography test and was allowed to take lessons,
is only nine out of thirty-eight people.
With the teacher's detailed guidance, the choreography is completed to the fingertips.
On the other hand, the B group...
First of all, please put the choreography into your body.
Right now you're memorizing it in your head, so you'll forget it in an instant, right?
Even if your head turns white, your body will move. Put it in properly.
If you think you're okay, please call me. We'll check one by one.
Instead, we'll check it only once. If it doesn't work, think it's over for today.
Okay, practice. Call me when you're ready.
They were given only one chance.
Even today, Anna sensei is serious about driving them away.
At that time, the first C group of sixteen people to be dropped
just kept dancing towards the wall.
I want to be with you.
Let's check one by one.
Let's do it one more time.
If it doesn't work, you can go home.
This is their last chance.
OK.
Don't look at me.
Don't look at me. Look at me!
OK.
Thank you.
Next.
OK.
It doesn't work.
Well...
First of all...
I can't feel anything in my eyes.
I feel like I'm running away.
If I'm like this since yesterday,
I can't admit that I've done something.
Go home.
Next.
The first to be asked to leave the lesson room was Tanikawa of Akita Prefecture.
♪ As if the petals are slowly becoming naru you ni ♪ As if the petals are slowly becoming winter, let go of the withered vegetables, the blooms will cut through them ♪ Saretai wo hanase, saki ga kiritetsu ♪ They release the withered flowers and the withered trees ♪ Haruki ga sunda ♪ They bring spring to us ♪ Haruki ga sunda ♪
They release the withered flowers and the withered trees ♪ Saretai wo hanase, saki ga kiritetsu ♪ They release the withered flowers and the withered trees ♪
If you're not confident in your dancing skills, you're probably not the only one. What are you not confident in? I'm not confident in dancing. If you're not confident in your dancing skills, you're probably not the only one.
There are also many more clumsy children. But I think either you still have the mindset of ``I'll do something'' or you end up being negative because you can't do it, and right now I'm on the negative side. of.
So, there is no point in taking lessons in that state. Okay, go home. Yes, next.
In the corridor where Tanikawa, from Akita Prefecture, continues to cry,
Chou, from Fukui Prefecture, has also been ordered to leave.
I can't dance because I don't have confidence.
I don't know what I should do.
Chou stands still without a way out and Tanikawa continues to cry.
Then, Chou...
Then, I will...
I will...
I will do it.
Chou continues to sing even after being sent home.
I...
I think I have good movements, expressions and so forth.
However, emotions do not appear in the eyes of an opponent with eyes.
You don't have the feeling of moving and singing to the audience or people in front of you.
You're just going crazy, so you don't look anywhere.
You don't have power in your eyes.
The eyes that are listening to me now are alive eyes.
So if you have a purpose and concentrate on that person, you'll have good eyes.
But when you're singing and dancing, you're not looking at anything, so you have to be careful about that.
Yes, good.
Practice it.
Yes!
Let's sing together. Don't look away. I won't forget you.
Look at me, look at me!
Let's meet in our dreams. I'll be waiting for you there. Shine brighter than you are now.
Yes, OK!
Well, it's no good.
What's wrong is that you have such good eyes, but you're not concentrating at all.
Not concentrating means you're not looking at something properly.
For example, you can take your eyes off. It makes sense to take them off.
But you blink.
And this blinking has nothing to do with the world of singing.
Well, there's no point in doing any more of this now.
If you don't create a situation where you can concentrate, no matter what happens, whether there's a disadvantage or not, you don't have to move.
The point is whether you have feelings in you or not.
So please go home.
Yes, next!
Anna Sensei did not approve of their seriousness.
Now only three people have been informed of the end of the lesson for the day.
If you pass the test of choreography here, you will be promoted to group A and you will be allowed to participate in the lesson.
One, two, this way. Three, this way.
OK, next.
Don't look at me like that, I won't forget.
Somewhere...
Yes, OK. You two go this way. You two go this way.
Yes, yes.
Let's see...
Turn and go in.
Yes.
Four people went up from Group C to Group A.
It took one hour to catch up.
Finally, they could join the lesson of the day.
Let's see... First, turn.
Put it firmly in your body. It's a work to remember.
You probably remember it in your head now,
so you may forget it in an instant.
Put it firmly in your body.
Dance many times and put it in your body.
When you are confident, call me.
Dance alone.
Think of it as a one-chance.
If you can't do it, this is the end of today's lesson.
OK, let's practice.
Yes, thank you.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Thank you.
In order for the West of Nara Prefecture, Group B,
to take a one-chance to join Group A,
they called out to Ms. Anda.
Thank you.
Yes.
La la la la...
Somewhere, cherry blossoms are dancing in the wind.
Yes, OK. You did a good job.
Well, I'll go with you.
You can drink water first.
Ah!
That was scary.
Here, Ms. Anna heads into the corridor.
Sit down.
I think you've practiced.
But if you can't convey it to your opponent, it doesn't make any sense.
I want you to feel it first.
No matter how hard you work, you can't say you can do it if it's true.
You have to give it all you've got and make your opponent admit it.
Do you understand?
I want you to feel clearly that you couldn't do it this time.
The reason the three of you didn't do well is because you didn't fight at the time.
Even if the other girls couldn't do it, they tried to look at you or look up at you.
But the three of you went to fool them.
At least you have to show them that you're determined to do it.
A lot of things will happen in the future and you'll miss out on all the opportunities.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Ms. Anna's harsh but kind words touch her heart.
On the other hand, since the seven prefectures' westward attacks,
members who challenged Team A for a one-off chance still haven't shown up.
Everyone doesn't seem to have the courage for one more step.
Then...
Lesson ends at one o'clock. Are you OK?
It's over.
Ms. Anna, who has lost her cool, hangs up the leaves.
But no one seems to move.
In the meantime, Class A's lesson goes on.
Class A's lesson continues.
Finally, the people of Hiroshima Prefecture have spoken up.
Class A's lesson continues.
OK. Good job.
The people of Hiroshima Prefecture, who took a great one-chance chance, join in Class A's lesson.
Is there anyone else who wants to do it?
Yes.
Then let's do it together.
Thank you.
Here, the three of them work together.
Yes, OK.
Number seven, OK.
Um...
I think you know for yourself that you made a mistake.
That's it for today. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work.
Well, they're starting to get into it, and I think they're getting stronger in their desire to show it off.
But...
Um...
I think everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
I think there's a sense of security in the fact that you practiced.
But I think you're at a place where you've been practicing a lot.
So I want you to feel like you have to get results.
Face.
Um...
I know you're frustrated.
I know you practiced.
But!
You have to get results.
In this world.
That's everything.
There's no point in crying here.
If you cry and get better, you can cry as much as you like, but you can't.
There's more to do than cry.
You don't have time to be depressed, do you?
Do your best.
Yes, of course.
But...
It's not over yet.
I'll do my best.
Think about how you want to move.
I want you to have fun and be happy with your friends.
I want you to stand out from your individuality.
I'll do it again from the beginning.
♪ We can't go together, but don't cry so much. I won't forget you.
OK! Um... I'd like you to put more emotions in it.
For example, "ta ta ta, I've met you." "Ta ta ta, I've met you."
There's no sense of sentiment here at all.
It's not like, "passed season of days."
So instead of trying to get it right, you need to bring out your own nuance.
- Yes! - OK, one more time.
Put your feelings into it!
♪ Oh oh oh oh oh oh ♪
♪ Let's meet again ten years later! ♪
OK, so could you all sit down and gather around?
- Yes! - Yes!
- Here. - Yes.
- Excuse me. - Excuse me.
And everyone who was practicing behind me, come here.
First of all, the most important thing.
If you don't get results, it's meaningless.
So no matter how much you practice,
if you don't get results as a result,
the practice you've done will be meaningless.
And one more thing.
Those of you who practiced by yourself and didn't come to the choreography check and challenge.
No.
Don't choose the option of running away.
Go to the direction of challenging.
Challenge, fail, fall, fall, and that's how you grow.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Please stand up.
You can still change.
I think you've changed a lot since yesterday to today.
So challenge yourself to see how much you can evolve.
And don't lose to yourself.
Yes.
That's it. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
At the end of the lesson, the three people who remained in the gym until the end were first taken out of the hallway.
Since I was thrown out of the classroom, I have to work harder than anyone else, or I won't get used to it.
I want to work hard and live my life with determination.
Lunchtime has arrived.
Shizuoka Prefecture's Yokomichi is a must-go place for lunch.
And in Kumamoto Prefecture's Kurano-gu...
This is really good.
Yeah.
It's self-training until the teacher comes.
This is it. This is it.
The two of us.
Okay, I got it.
I got it, I got it.
The members who have finished eating show up one by one for the lesson.
Before the voice training for the day, a special warm- up was carried out by Mr. Sugai's assistant.
While warming up and warming up their throats, Mr. Sugai appears.
- Good morning! - Good morning!
- Good morning, everyone! - Good morning!
- It's already played, hasn't it? - Yes!
Okay, then I'll play a little bit of mine.
That's right! One more!

Um, you!
Even if you sing like you're playing the accordion in the sky like this, it doesn't make sense.
It's not that kind of study.
This is...
Do you know what you're doing?
Yes.
Are you singing with your feelings like you're playing the accordion?
This is not the time to practice playing the accordion.
It looks like you remember it, so leave it here for now.
Oh...
Leave it...
Ah...
[Singing]
Yes, leave it.
[Singing]
Yes, leave it.
[Singing]
Thank you.
It's OK.
Thank you very much.
You know it, don't you?
You know you're missing one or two words, don't you?
Do you know it?
If you're doing it without knowing it, it's even more stupid.
But you'll leave it. It's OK.
Yes, next.
Thank you very much.
[Singing]
Yes, go.
[Singing]
Yes, go.
Yes, next.
Thank you very much.
[Singing]
Yes, leave it.
Next, please.
Thank you very much.
But you know it, don't you?
Yes.
You know you're missing one or two words, don't you?
Yes.
If you don't do it with confidence, you'll end up like that on stage, don't you?
Yes.
You know it?
Yes.
[Singing]
Yes, number 29.
[Singing]
Excuse me, can I ask you three questions?
Three people, three people.
Yes.
OK, you can choose your favorite order.
Do you know "back to front"?
"Back to front".
Either "back" or "front".
I think you should do it like that.
Yes, "back to front".
OK, five of you.
You're alone.
Too bad. OK, five of you, go ahead.
It's not my fault.
OK, here we go.
Excuse me, could you stop for a second?
Um...
If you're going to sing like this for ten bars, I think you should go home, Nanase.
And before you sing, you're going to sing this song for ten bars.
Isn't it an artist to create an atmosphere?
Don't you think so? Did you think like that for the first time?
I know you're nervous.
Anyone can be nervous.
You can do good things because you're nervous.
You can't be sloppy.
But you have to act like you're nervous so you don't show it.
That's an artist, right? That's a stage, right?
Isn't it?
Yes.
But...
I don't know if I should say it or not, but...
Yesterday and today...
It's like you're making me do it all the time.
You're not making me do it, you're doing it for me?
It's my first time being this warm.
I can't feel the temperature.
Can't you get hot?
Between yesterday and today...
How much have you been able to do?
Isn't there anything you should have done more?
There are definitely people out there who regret it.
Then please create an atmosphere before you sing.
Yes!
Yes, it's over. Please.
It's over.
♪ Oh oh ah eh ah uh ah oh ah ah uh ah ♪
♪ Ah ah uh oh ah eh uh ah uh oh oh uh ♪
Yes, I will dissolve everything.
Thank you.
Next, alone.
(Singing)
One more time!
Let's do it one more time.
You want one more chance, don't you?
Yes, I do.
Then, go back there and drink some water and come back after you are mentally prepared.
Yes, I'm sorry. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Yoshino, when you are ready, please come in.
Yes.
Yoshino.
Yes.
Are you checking it now?
Yes.
Okay, come in.
Thank you.
Yes!
Yoshino of Oita Prefecture does her second investigation.
♪ Oh oh ah eh ah ♪ ♪ Uh ah ah ih ah ah ♪ ♪ Ah um ♪
♪ Uh ah ah ih ah ♪
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Well then, the remaining people...
For now, it's "borderline".
It's fine if the lyrics are sung somewhere in the cherry blossoms, right?
I explained yesterday that it's not like that, but do you remember why?
If anyone remembers it, please say it.
Go ahead.
If there is no harmony...
That's right.
Say it properly until the end. Say it until the end.
If there is no harmony, the song won't...
- The words won't... - Why won't it work?
If there is no harmony, only the words won't stick together.
That's right. It's because there is no harmony.
Let's do it again from the beginning.
One, two, three, oh!
Oh ah ih ah uh ah oh ah ah ih ah
Ah ih oh ah ih ah uh oh ih
Ah ih oh ah uh oh ih ah ih eh
Ih oh ih ih eh ah uh ih ah uh ah
On the other hand, the members who were ordered to leave...
Began practice with the sound of leaking from the room.
However, only Yoshino of Oita Prefecture...
The classroom became more and more heated.
Not "ah ah ah ah" but "ah ah ah ah"
You have to say "ah ah ah" first.
Don't do that.
And one more thing.
Let's learn about rhythm.
If you have a bad rhythm, you need words, voice and rhythm for singing.
If you don't have rhythm, you can't make music.
Then there is "sakurano" and "rano".
It should say "ao" here.
It should say "ao".
Please write "n" here.
Now, Sato.
Sato, there are two of you. Sato, is your name Akemi?
I'm Akari.
How do you sing when you read this?
You put this in.
One more time?
Put "n" in.
Let's sing like that.
Yesterday, when we sang "sakura no" we said we should lower our center of gravity.
At this time, you have to sing like "ango".
You have to lower your center of gravity.
Wait!
You have to speed up like "sotto" when you say "no".
You can't do that at all.
That's it.
You have to sing like this.
That's what you need.
Next!
Sing "doko ka de"
sakura no hanamira ga arari to kaze ni mauu you ni
dare ni mo abataku toki ga kite
hitonri kiri de
You don't need this part.
hitonri
Just say it.
hitonri kiri de arukidasunda
Thank you!
Next!
I will explain it later.
What is this?
Rhythm.
Yes, rhythm.
I want you to express "un" with "n".
I want you to add "un" because I want you to add this vertical rhythm.
Do you understand?
Yes!
Next!
Ten people from the exit group were trying hard to remember how to sing "boy in show" that they couldn't sing earlier.
boy in show
They tried their best.
It's too late for them to realize their effort.
Yoshino from Oita still has tears in her eyes.
It's hard for her to change her mind.
After singing "boy in show" once, it's time for singing the chorus.
Please do as you're told.
Let's go.
After this, you can practice on your own and say, "Maybe this is better."
During the break, he repeats what he was taught over and over again and remembers it in his body.
At that time, outside of the classroom, ten people from the withdrawal group rushed to Mr. Sugai during the break.
I don't know what you're talking about. Speak up!
I'm sorry I don't remember!
You don't remember that? You remembered it, but you couldn't do it even though you should have remembered it?
Do you understand that you shouldn't remember what you should have remembered?
Yes!
I'm afraid of this.
I'm afraid of misunderstanding myself that I can do it.
What would you do if you could do it?
You're angry at me for not being able to do it, aren't you?
Because I can't do it! I don't want you to kick me!
That's why I'm telling you.
Yes!
But Yoshino became alone.
It's a bit of a handicap.
It's a handicap for you, isn't it? Why did you become alone?
But if you could do it alone over there, it would have been cool, wouldn't it?
Isn't that a star?
Even if you're being unfair to yourself, you have no choice but to take it.
Yes!
That's a tough world.
Isn't that why everyone is aiming for a tough world?
Who do you think wants to enter a warm world?
If you can remember it, remember it.
If you can sing it properly, you can come.
Yes! Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Ten people managed to get a chance.
Sugai sensei's harsh but warm words spill tears unexpectedly.
Ai o ae i au o i
To show their seriousness to Sugai sensei, they keep singing over and over again.
Ai o ae i au o i
Can you all stand up? We can't do this in public.
Can you jump higher?
Let's do it like this.
I want you to do it like a snake, but only for dolphins.
Somewhere cherry blossoms are dancing with the wind.
Let's do it like this.
Dance with me.
One, two, go ahead!
Somewhere cherry blossoms are dancing with the wind.
When the time comes for everyone to fly,
I'll walk out alone.
This is what you need to do.
Get into the rhythm and sing.
Add some choreography to it.
Excuse me!
One hour and thirty minutes after being kicked out of the lesson hall.
What could it be?
I want to learn it, but...
Okay, line up and do it for me.
Okay.
I promised you earlier, so I'll ask you.
Okay.
I love you. We look at each other.
Yes.
So what do you want to do?
Please participate in the competition.
Can you keep up with this?
We will do our best.
Then I'll say one thing.
You heard it all the way today, didn't you?
Yes.
Everyone was halfway through.
Yes.
After all, it's up to here.
How do you say it?
It's not okay to say that much.
There is no firmness to remember until the end.
You can't say it.
Yes.
What do you want to be?
Where do you want to go?
Where do you want to go in the future?
Are you thinking about it?
If you don't know what you want to do, you don't know anything.
Yes.
If you are prepared for it, stay and do it.
Yes.
Then I would like to ask you how you sing.
So I would like you to sing five people at a time.
Ten people from the dropout group gathered.
After that, except for 16 people who missed another job, 22 people resume lessons.
Like dancing in the wind of Harari,
the time has come for everyone to fly.
With one finger, we will start walking.
See you in ten years.
Thank you. Let's do lessons one by one.
From now on, lessons one by one will start. First, Oda in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Let's meet again in ten years.
Thank you very much.
Can you do it right away?
Can you do it now or later?
Yes, I can do it.
Can you show me how you get the rhythm?
The rhythm is the heartbeat.
One by one.
Can you practice it?
Thank you very much.
Can you give me the chopsticks you asked for?
Bite these two into the axis and wash them.
Then say "oda erina".
oda erina.
This is "oda erina".
Then say "dokoka de" first.
"dokoka de" "sakura wo"
"sakura wo" "sakura wo"
"dokoka de" "sakura no"
"dokoka de" "sakura"
"dokoka de" "sakura no hanaira ga"
I don't know what you're saying.
"dokoka de" "sakura no"
"dokoka de" "sakura no hanabira ga"
"dokoka de" "sakura no hanaira ga"
"hanahira" "hanahira ga"
You just said "hanahira ga", didn't you?
hanabira ga
hanabira
It's not "hanabira".
hanabira
You know you can't do it yourself, don't you?
Yes.
Can you do it?
I can't.
harari to
kaze ni
wau you ni
dare demo
habataku toki ga kite
hitori kiri de
arukidasunda
I'm sorry.
I can't do it myself.
I'm sorry.
The time to fly has come for everyone.
One person,
I'm walking out alone.
Can you take a picture of me?
I'll be strict with you, but you need to sing because I can't speak properly.
I will sing.
One, two, three.
Somewhere...
I'm sorry.
I'm pronouncing it.
Somewhere...
Not head.
Somewhere...
Yes.
I do it with my lower back.
Yes.
Sweet, sweet.
Too low level.
This project is too low level.
I won't forget.
Let's meet again in ten years.
I'll be waiting for you here.
Shine brighter than you are now.
That was close. Let's continue.
This is very difficult.
You don't have to move.
More than you are now!
Otherwise you can't shine brighter.
One more defect is this.
You say "more" instead of "to".
More than you are now!
You say the wrong songs.
More than you are now!
You can't do it.
More than you are now!
That's it.
Otherwise, you won't sing higher.
"Ima yori" one, two, three, four!
Ima yori motto kanga
No!
Think of the next one.
"Motto" is done.
Don't push yourself.
Ima yori motto kanga
"Kanga" "kanga"
"Kanga" "kanga" "kanga"
You are...
"Kanga" "kanga"
This one doesn't come out.
"Kanga" "kanga" "kanga"
From here...
"Kanga" "kanga" "kanga"
Like that.
Ima yori motto kanga
Take it.
One, two, one more time!
Ima yori motto kanga
Not "ncha", "ima yori motto kanga"
One, two, three, four!
Ima yori motto kanga
Practice like that.
Voice and "koko" are connected.
Wow! I see!
Don't sing with just your force.
Got it.
Use your voice to make a sound that you can accept.
That will make your voice more expressive and brighter.
Next.
Thank you.
What you are saying and what you are saying is different.
Yesterday you were like this...
and today you are like this?
That's right.
You don't just have to do this to make a sound.
You have to make a voice like this.
By opening only your mouth, you can connect with your stomach and make a voice that doesn't shake no matter what you do.
Make a voice that doesn't shake.
But if you do only this, you will have a hoarse voice.
After making this, make a voice that doesn't shake as much as possible with your voice.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Think about things from various perspectives.
This is also possible.
Make your own voice from various directions.
Because everyone's voice is only one in the world.
It is a very precious instrument.
To make full use of that instrument, you have to give lessons yourself.
No one can make a voice for you.
In order to polish it, you don't cry because it's a little painful.
Those tears are useless.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Even if this happens, the next person will do the next problem.
The next person to take lessons is Sato Akari of Nyanken.
Somewhere, like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind,
Cherry Blossom, no matter how many times it blooms,
I won't forget this day.
I'll meet you again in this place.
I'll wait for you here more than now.
Graduation is close.
I'll be with you three more times.
I'll be with you more than love.
I'll be with you, my love.
Cherry Blossom, no matter how many times it blooms,
I won't forget this day.
I'll meet you again in this place.
Somewhere, cherry blossoms
I don't know what you're saying because you don't have a spine.
You have to dance and sing while strengthening your spine.
Yes.
Try it. One, two, three.
Somewhere, cherry blossoms
You don't have to pull your chin.
You have to sing with your chest facing the sun and look up at your hands.
Yes.
One, two, three.
Somewhere, cherry blossoms
You have to sing properly and I know what you're saying.
Yes.
Next is "mogi" in Fukushima Prefecture.
mogi
Somewhere, cherry blossoms
You have to sing with your chest facing the sun and look up at your hands.
Yes.
Next is "mogi" in Fukushima Prefecture.
mogi
no hanabira ga
Well, first of all, the pitch is wrong.
hanabira ga
"na" sounds better.
nan nan nanana
Please be a little more resistant.
hai
one, two, three
dokoka de sakura no hanabi
hanabira ga
The pitch is wrong.
"lan" "no"
You're not doing it right.
hai
one, two, three
dokoka de sakura no hanabira ga
hanabira ga
harari to kaze ni mau you ni
dari mo
dari ni mo
dare ni mo
When the time comes, I'll walk out on my own.
I'll walk out with you.
This song is about feeling something.
Yes.
I'll walk out.
You make your own path, don't you?
Yes.
Make your own path.
One, two, three, four.
I'll walk out on my own.
When I met you.
Bless you.
The meaning of this season.
Bless you.
Your smile was dazzling.
I can't go with you, but don't cry so much.
I won't forget you.
I don't know the words.
One, two, three, four.
I won't forget you.
Let's meet again in ten years.
What? Are you doing something cute with your shoulders?
No.
Disgusting.
One more time. One, two, one, two, three.
Let's meet again in ten years.
I told you not to do it in this world.
Yes.
One, two, three.
Let's meet again in ten years.
Can you practice like this? Not like this.
Let's meet again in ten years.
Do it like this. One, two, three.
Let's meet again in ten years.
You can do it like this.
Yes.
One, two, one, two, three.
Let's meet again in ten years.
I'll be waiting for you in this place.
I hope you'll shine brighter than you are now.
Graduation is a process.
Three years later...
What's going to happen?
That's all for today.
Whatever you say, it'll only take time.
Okay, then...
Okay, well...
Line up.
We have two more days.
We have to move forward step by step without stopping what we can do.
We only have one life.
Even today, we only have one life.
You only have one life, so do what you want to do.
There are many things you regret doing now, right?
Take those regrets into account and do your best for the next two days.
Thank you for your hard work.
After all, after two days, it becomes clear.
The level difference of people.
As people absorb it, people change more and more.
For girls, even for boys, things like that change honestly.
When I saw it today, I thought it was completely different from yesterday.
But I don't know if it grew or if it was originally possible.
The members who finished Mr. Sugai's lesson are...
I was pointed out by my teacher and I couldn't clear it. I was very frustrated.
I wasn't sad or anything. I was very miserable.
I knew it in my head, but I couldn't do it right away.
I couldn't clear it and my teacher took it away from me. I was very frustrated.
Today, he taught me how to use my body and how to fix my habits.
I was able to hear voices that I've never heard before.
I'm glad I came to this training camp.
I didn't say anything.
I'm sorry.
Stupid!
I'm sorry. I'm stupid.
I'm stupid. Let's go eat.
Stupid!
Let's talk face-to-face later.
I like singing.
In my voice lesson, I sang alone.
There were a lot of bad things.
I still don't have the strength.
I like it more, so I want to improve it.
My teacher was very strict, but I was confident in what he said.
But I sincerely accepted it and I will continue to do my best.
Mr. Sugai's strict but warm-hearted lesson.
Whether you kill or save them, it's up to them.
Training camp, day three, seven o'clock in the morning.
On this day, Miyazaki's daughter started her self- training.
When I dance to a song or dance in front of a teacher, I can't do it.
But that doesn't start with an excuse, does it?
So I'm going to practice a lot today and prepare for tomorrow.
And Nakano in Tottori Prefecture and Kurano in Kumamoto Prefecture.
I've been taught a lot.
So you're very reliable.
I remember what my teacher taught me, and it's good for my revenge.
At the same time as rivals, they are important partners.
While teaching each other, they dream of standing on stage and practice self-training.
Toot toot toot toot toot!
In the morning of this day, MC's lesson.
Good morning!
More energetically! Good morning!
That's the worst greeting!
Did you understand?
Yes!
Good morning! My name is Mitsue Yuji!
Nice to meet you!
Yes, that's a good voice!
Mitsue Yuji sensei is not only a teacher but also a voice actor.
She is also active in various fields like stage performance.
First of all, I would like to give you a lecture on how much voice you can make and how little voice you can't make.
Do you understand?
Yes!
Mitsue sensei, up there!
Yes!
Not "Yes", but "Yes"!
In order for you to become an idol, you must keep up with this tension.
Ms. Takahashi, you go first.
Say low-tempo words "hey!" and reply "hey!"
One more line!
hey!
One more line!
hey!
There you go!
hey!
I planted a bamboo...
Um...
When it it was too hard like you said, you really had to smile, right?
It shouldn't be "smile" like that.
You have to think "what a shame!"
You can't do it? That's weird.
You don't have the guts, do you?
- Yes. - Yes, higher.
- Yes. - Yes, that "yes."
Okay, sit down. Okay, behind you.
- Please. - Louder.
- Yes. - "Please, please."
You're not excited at all.
You're excited and say, "Please!"
I think you are.
- Please! - That's right. Okay, read it out.
I wanted to put a bamboo on this bamboo board,
- so I put a bamboo on it. - You said it!
Thank you!
You have to have that reaction.
When you say, "I said it!"
You say, "I did it!"
When you say, "Do it!"
- When you say, "I said it!" - Thank you!
That's right.
Let's make sure you get that kind of reaction.
- Okay, let's do it. - Okay.
- Louder. - Okay.
- This bamboo...
This bamboo...
I wanted to put a bamboo...
bamboo... bamboo...
bamboo... bamboo on this bamboo board,
I wanted to put a bamboo on it, so I put a bamboo on it.
You read it out loud like that, but it's not cute.
Okay.
No matter what happens, you have to look cute.
- Okay. - Yeah.
Go ahead and say something.
- Thank you very much! - That's it?
Never mind. Please have a seat.
- Next person in the back. - Okay.
- What number? - Number 18.
- Huh? Number 18? - Oh, I'm wrong. It's number 8.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. That kind of joke is important too.
Nice joke!
That was a nice joke. Let's move on.
- Let's start with this bamboo board. - Okay!
I wanted to put a bamboo...
bamboo... bamboo on this bamboo board,
I wanted to put a bamboo on it, so I put a bamboo on it.
Okay! I'm glad you did your best.
- Thank you! - Okay!
- Please joke around again. - Okay!
I'm looking forward to it!
- Okay, in the back! - Okay!
- Number 12! - Okay!
- Let's go! - Thank you!
Let's go!
I wanted to put a bamboo... bamboo... bamboo...
I can't hear you!
I wanted to put a bamboo...
What's important for an MC is your voice!
I wanted to put a bamboo... bamboo... bamboo on this bamboo board,
I wanted to put a bamboo on it, so I put a bamboo on it.
Don't forget that you're going to say it to a lot of people!
- Okay! - Got it?
- Okay! - Okay, next!
Okay!
- Please! - Okay!
Perfect!
- That's it! - Thank you! - Okay, okay!
Perfect!
- Thank you! - Okay, next! Number 26!
- Yes, please! - Okay!
It's a little funny, but okay!
- Thank you! - Thank you!
"Uhia" is good! "Uhia" might sell well!
- Say it louder! - Okay!
- Let's be more charming! - Okay!
"Taketaketakattakara" "take" "take" "tatekaketano"
- You can't say it! - Okay!
"Kono "takegaki" ni "taketatekaketano" wa" "taketatekaketakattakara" "taketatekaketano" desu!"
- You said it! - Yay! - Don't give up! You did it! Okay! - Thank you!
Please say it!
"Kono "takegaki" ni "taketatekaketano" wa" "taketatekaketakattakara" "taketatekaketano" desu!"
You didn't say it well! There are a lot of parts that are missing!
"Kono "takegaki" ni "taketatekaketano" wa" "taketatekaketakattakara" "taketatekaketano" desu!"
It doesn't matter as long as it's funny! Okay!
Thank you very much!
"Kono "takegaki" ni "taketatekaketano" wa" "taketatekaketakattakara" "taketatekaketano" desu!"
Wonderful!
After checking their ability, they clean up and go to the lesson.
Next, they do "haikin" and "hikin" stretching to make a voice.
"ra" "nanime" "tero"
Next, they host a show for everyone.
They want you to have a great image of what they want you to do.
What do you want them to imagine?
You want them to imagine that you want to do a dome performance with all of your teammates.
You want them to imagine that you can do it.
After singing the last song, you want them to imagine how you feel, how excited you are, and what state you are in.
Finally, you want them to say "thank you" to their fans.
You want them to say "thank you" to their fans.
You want them to check how excited you are, how grateful you are, or how talented you are.
You want them to check whether you have the power to grab people's hearts.
You want them to say "thank you" to you.
"hai" "hai"
Go back a little.
You went back this much.
You have this distance.
But you have more distance.
Of course you have a microphone.
Size of your voice is not enough to convey your feelings.
Size of your voice is important, of course.
But you have to imagine that you are conveying your feelings.
Let's start with number one, Abe-san.
The last song is "dun, dun, dun, dun!"
Raise your hands and say "wow!"
That's it.
Everyone, today...
It won't reach you!
Everyone, today...
Also, your eyes are fixed.
If you look closely, you can see it.
Those of you who are standing in the back, your facial expressions are dead.
That won't happen. Let's do it again.
That's it! Yay! Let's give them a round of applause!
Everyone, today...
Your feelings won't reach you.
What should you do in order for them to reach you?
I should put all of my gratitude into my words.
That's right. Let's do some research.
What should you do?
Okay.
Let's do it.
"dun, dun, dun, dun!" Yay!
There's too little reaction in the back.
If the MC is taking so much time, the people in the back should react more.
The MC was trying so hard to make the audience lick their lips.
Everyone was waving their hands.
If the MC doesn't talk, everyone is standing still.
If the MC doesn't talk, we have to bury ourselves in the meantime.
Do you understand what I mean?
Yes!
Okay, Kita-san. Let's do it again.
"dun, dun, dun, dun!" Yay!
Today, the dream we've been talking about since our debut is finally coming true!
Everyone, please give me a wonderful present! Really, really!
Yes.
I think it's the maximum range, but I thought that if you extend it a little more than that, the momentum will decrease a little.
Yes.
Yes, it's good.
Thank you very much!
Yes, let's go!
Ja, ja, ja, ja, jan, jan!
Everyone!
I had a lot of fun getting excited together today!
Everyone! Today is really, really!
Hmm...
Yes.
No matter what it is, I wonder if you're a little low in energy.
Yes.
It's important to liven up yourself, or to make your feelings flutter.
Yes.
That kind of tension is a little low.
Yes.
The tension itself can be raised even if your voice is small.
I just want you to raise your tension.
Yes.
What is tension?
For example, when you're fooling around with your friends, you go "kyaa!"
I think that's tension.
How you raise that tension?
Please study it a little.
Yes.
Let me do it again.
Again?
Yes.
Okay, here we go.
Cha-cha-cha-cha-chan!
Yay!
Everyone!
Thank you so much for today!
Close your eyes and speak.
It's cuter if you open your eyes as much as you can.
Be careful of that.
Be careful of getting excited.
Everyone!
Yes, yes, yes, it's fine, it's fine.
I think you're crying because you're feeling better.
But if you can, even if you think, "Ah, he's crying," if people around you follow you,
you'll be able to see that you're more united.
I think you'll be moved to the point of crying.
Of course, it's not something you should cry about.
Singing is about singing properly without crying.
Try to be able to control those emotions yourself.
Yes!
Yes, yes, it's fine.
Thank you very much.
Yes, ja, ja, ja, ja, jaan!
Yes, I think it's good.
There are a lot of voices coming out and there were a lot of things coming over here.
Yes, please do your best in that tone.
Yes, thank you very much.
Yes.
Yes, everyone is done, so let's gather in front of me for a moment.
Well, I'm sure everyone was doing their best at this stage.
First of all, the lack of concentration of the people behind you when someone is talking in the center.
This is no good.
Yes, make the person talking in the middle of you focus properly and say it with a smile.
There were a lot of people who had no expression.
Anyway, the emcee is a feeling.
For example, "The singing is over." "It's over." "Hello, everyone." I don't think so.
"The singing is over." "Hello, everyone!"
From there, it's a feeling of "thank you."
After all, even the first word of "thank you" has a great sense of tension and gratitude for the fans.
I'm sure everyone will support me.
There, I think it makes no sense to do it if you don't have the energy to monitor other fans and say, "Oh, team 8 is a very good group and this team is also good."
A lot of fans assumed the Tokyo Dome and screamed there.
Your power to bounce back people is not enough.
Do you understand?
Yes!
That's right. You need that "yes".
Whatever happens, let's make sure you answer.
I've heard a lot about you.
I'm sure you all have a lot of great things.
Grab your own personality and extend it.
Do your best to be irreplaceable for the group.
I'd like to end my lesson here.
Thank you for your hard work!
Do your best!
Thank you!
I only showed you my personality today.
But I know you all have a strong will to lose.
For example, you might say something you couldn't say even if it was a quick word.
I think that's a good thing.
I'd like to evaluate you for that.
You all have your own personality and you're all different.
It would be weird to say you don't have standards.
As a judge, I don't know what standards we should use.
But I hope you can sing and dance and have your own talent.
I hope you can make your final decision.
I'm starting to speak a lot now.
It's better than before.
After the MC lesson, it's time for lunch.
It looks good.
Even though they don't have much time to talk, they get along well while spending time together.
When we were young, we used to hang out in weird buildings.
At that time, Nanami was the first one I talked to.
Is that so?
She looks like her in the video.
Does she?
Isn't she the first one?
I've never peeled it myself.
I don't know if I should eat it or not.
What?
I don't know if I should peel it or not.
This is bad.
You're good at peeling.
This afternoon is self-study practice.
They are preparing for their fateful audition the next day.
Each of them has four years left until their last pursuit.
They are preparing for their fateful audition the next day.
Let's be full of energy!
I'm nervous!
I won't forget you. I won't forget you.
I've already passed it.
I always miss it. It's too early to miss it.
So I try hard to miss it.
Each of them aims for overcoming their weaknesses.
I won't forget you. I won't forget you.
I've already passed it. It's too early to miss it.
I won't forget you. I won't forget you.
I won't forget you. It's too early to miss it.
They keep dancing "Kadaikyoku" and "Junenzakura" repeatedly.
The one who wants to beat them up is...
It's really painful.
First of all, director Takahashi secretly checks their practice.
They're practicing a lot.
They don't know that and just practice.
It's impossible!
Let's retreat! Let's retreat!
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Everyone is doing their best.
Some girls have been dancing in front of the mirror for 10 years.
Some girls are pushing each other.
It's probably the third day, right?
So you're probably a little tired.
Some girls are mentally at their peak.
When we were dancing, we had our first day here.
We were working hard to stand here as a group of people.
To be honest, it's not clear how to choose an AKB member.
We have to choose someone who fits the song.
We didn't have a system where we had to choose someone who worked hard and improved their skills.
I think it's a severe situation that we don't know about.
But I think we're blessed in a way.
It's not common for top teachers to teach us.
We're only taught the choreography and dancing.
But for girls in 8th grade, we learn the basics.
They teach us how to be an MC and how to sing.
It's a wonderful environment.
I hope we don't lose and do our best.
Good morning!
I'm sorry for disturbing you all of a sudden. I'm Minami Takahashi.
Good morning!
I'm sorry. I've been looking through the gap and stuff like that.
Everyone is in training camp right now, so I asked about it.
It's probably day three now, right?
Yes!
That's a great answer.
I think it's a difficult time right now.
From 38th place to 16th place...
I'm being selected as a member.
I'm sure you're all under a lot of pressure.
I don't think we've ever done it like that before.
We all came here to work hard together.
I also heard and thought that it was a little severe.
I'm sure you're all thinking the same thing.
Whether you're selected or not...
Whether you worked hard or not...
Whether you had confidence or not...
I'm sure it will lead to something next.
I hope you'll do your best.
Also, it's the Tokyo Dome, right?
Ikebi has finally made it to the Tokyo Dome for the sixth year.
I think it was when Maeda Atsuko graduated.
It was my first time at the Dome.
I've been doing it since I was six years old.
Little by little, I started doing it from a small box.
Let's go to the Tokyo Dome!
With that feeling in my heart, I stood in that place.
But maybe you haven't been there and you don't have much experience...
You stand there.
From us, I'm very envious of you.
I want you to keep in mind that building the Tokyo Dome is an amazing thing.
I hope you don't forget this one-sided feeling now.
Don't think you can do it now and do your best.
Yes!
I'm sorry the lesson time is over.
Good luck, everyone!
Thank you!
It's tough. Good luck.
Are you staying at a hotel now?
We're staying here.
You're staying here?!
Oh, you're staying here!
I see! I see! I see!
Well, to put it the other way around, you're staying at home.
I think you need some time to get used to it, but try your best!
Yes!
Good luck!
Thank you!
Good luck!
Thank you for your hard work!
The hard work of that time is very opaque.
I don't know if it's connected in the future or if I can do it myself.
I've been working hard for a moment and I think it's useless.
Now you can do it if you do it.
Even if you don't do it now, you can do it tomorrow.
If you work hard, you can connect it to the singing show tomorrow.
At that time, it was very opaque and I was worried about the future.
It's a few words of advice, but there are people who tell me to do my best and there are people who get angry with me.
It's really great, so I want you to cherish it now.
On the other hand, in lessons...
I'm sorry.
But I was really surprised.
Maybe I was just listening.
I joined because I admired Minami Takahashi.
There were times when we worked together, but when I get a message like this, I think I really have to do my best.
I'm grateful.
I've heard valuable stories from people who've experienced it.
If I was chosen to do it at the Tokyo Dome, I'm a little scared.
I want to do it more and more and challenge myself.
There's only one more thing left, but I have to do it.
I thought I really had to do my best.
Let's do it!
I'm sure I'll pass.
As members of akb48, they realized again the meaning of standing on the stage of the Tokyo Dome.
They are even more passionate about self-practice.
I want to practice so much that I can say I've done it all.
I'm sweating a lot.
I want to see everyone's strengths and weaknesses.
There is little time left.
They can't waste another minute or second.
They will continue to push themselves until they are satisfied with themselves.
The last dinner time of training camp is...
Can you do it seriously?
No, I can't.
I don't want to think about it, so I'm making a fuss here.
I don't want to think about it.
My legs...
My legs are pretty bad when I dance.
I want to fix it and challenge it tomorrow.
The members who finished eating will resume lessons again soon.
Now, the audition for fate is finally tomorrow!
The last day of training camp.
As the preparation for the audition progresses, Team 8 members encourage each other for the last self- practice.
These three days have been full of hard lessons, not one-sided seriousness, but seriousness conveyed to people.
The sweat and tears shed made them grow stronger and stronger.
Team 8 is now ready for the audition.
Crying or laughing, the audition is about to begin.
Even when they are seated, they repeat "Ten Years of Cherry Blossoms" until the last second.
And then, at 9 a.m. when the audition started...
Good morning!
Good morning, everyone!
Good morning!
One more time!
Good morning!
Today, please show your best performance!
We're looking forward to it!
Yes!
Good morning!
Today is the last day.
Well...
Maybe...
It's not about who you believe in the most, but who you hate the most.
Please show your best performance!
I believe in you, too!
Thank you!
Good morning!
From the last lesson, we'd like to see how much you've evolved and surpassed yourselves.
I think you've done all you can do, so please do your best!
Yes!
Good morning!
No matter what you say or laugh about it, it's decided today.
Looking at you today, I'd like you to think about your costumes and designs.
Please do your best!
Yes!
Good morning!
We'd like you to show us what you've learned from the three teachers.
Please do your best today!
Thank you!
"Final Audition of Destiny".
One by one, they will perform "Ten Years of Cherry Blossoms", sing and dance, and host after the show.
"A" "B" "C" These three will be the judges' targets.
Let's take a look at their seriousness.
First is Abenmei, 13 years old from Shimane Prefecture.
When I'm nervous, I forget lyrics and stuff like that.
I'm worried about that.
"A" "B" "C" These three will be the judges' targets.
Thank you so much for today!
I'm Moeka Iwasaki, 14 years old, from Nagasaki Prefecture.
I'm not particular about what I'm chosen for.
I'd like to make the most of what I've learned today.

it's time for everyone to flap their wings and walk out on their own.
The meaning of the seasons that have passed since I met you,
that smile was so dazzling.
Thank you for watching and listening to my performance until the end!
19-year-old Ota Nao from Kyoto.
Since last night, I've always wanted to join the selection,
so I won't give up.

Now, it's time for us to meet again.

I hope you'll always be my beloved one.
No matter how many times I write "ready for sun",
I'll forget about today.
I won't.

Shine brighter than you are now.
17-year-old Erina Oda from Kanagawa Prefecture.
I sang with my teacher one-on-one and she watched me.
Later, my members said I was being rebellious.
I wasn't being rebellious, but I sang with my teacher one-on-one with that much determination in me.
I thought I had a lot of courage.
I can't be with you, but don't cry like that.
I won't forget you.
Let's meet again in ten years. I'll be waiting for you here.
Shine brighter than you are now.

Even if I'm not chosen, I want to get rid of the frustration and move on to the next step.

there comes a time when everyone has to fly away and I have to walk out alone.
Meeting you meant so much to me and your smile was so dazzling.
Thank you so, so much for today!
Kagawa Prefecture, Gyoten Yurina, 15 years old.
If I can do my best and I win, I'll be happy.

I can't forget it, but don't cry like that. I won't forget it.

I'm really happy to meet you all!
Kumamoto Prefecture, Kuranoo Narumi, 13 years old.
I was dancing a lot until morning, but I was getting more and more anxious, and I was worried if I was doing it right.
What should I do?
Shine brighter than you are now
Graduation is a process, a vow of reunion
Always love me more than love that burns out quickly
Like cherry blossoms somewhere
Like fireworks dancing in the wind
Thank you all for coming today!
Hokkaido, Sakanuchi Nagisa, 13 years old.

I think I can use it for my future confidence and reflection.
After all, first of all, I want to give 100%.
I won't hide it.
Let's meet again in ten years.
I'll wait for you in this place.
Shine brighter than you are now.
Graduation is close, but there is no reunion.
Today...
Iwata Prefecture, Sato Nanami, 14 years old.

I hope I don't forget the lyrics.
I'll do my best with confidence and knowledge of what I've learned so far.

I'm going to walk out.
I like meeting you.
That smile was dazzling.
16-year-old Takahashi Ayane from Saitama Prefecture.
She was a strict teacher and I cried a lot.
But I felt like she was doing it for us.
I hope I can live up to her expectations.

Everyone!
Thank you so much for today!

It's not like that...
It's like...
I don't want to lose to anyone.
I'll do my best.
I can't go with you, but don't cry so much. I won't forget you.
See you in ten years. I'll wait for you in this place. Shine brighter than you are now.
Graduation is a process. I swear to meet you again.
I love you more than love that burns out immediately.
Everyone!
Akita Prefecture, Tanikawa Hijiri, 13 years old.

Thank you.
Cherry Blossom, no matter how many times it blooms, I won't forget this day.

Graduation is a process. Now, it's time for us to meet again.
Thank you so much for today!
Chou Kurena, 14 years old, Fukui Prefecture.
I couldn't keep up with my singing and dancing practice.
It was so hard that I couldn't cry.
But I've been practicing a lot, and now I'm a little confident.
I hope I can dance my own way without making any mistakes.
Chou Kurena, 14 years old, Fukui Prefecture.
Your smile was so dazzling.
I want to be with you, but don't cry so much.
I won't forget you.

I want to be with you.
Thank you for your time today.
Thank you so much for today!
Nakano Ikumi, 13 years old, Tottori Prefecture.
I will continue to work hard so that I can achieve more than what you have imagined.
I'm sure I'll be in the center by selection.
Thank you for watching.
Somewhere, like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind,
Cherry Blossom, no matter how many times it blooms,
I will never forget today's love.
There is one thing I want to say to you here.
I will do my best not only to be the center of AKB48, but also to be the center of your hearts.
Please continue to support me.
Thank you for today.
Osaka-style, 7-year-old Serika, 13 years old.
I can't dance at all, so I think I'll sing while dancing, but I think I'll focus on dancing.
Even if I make a mistake, I think I'll do it with a smile.
Somewhere, like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind,
I hope I can protect you as soon as possible so that no one else can do it.
Everyone!
Thank you for listening to me until the end!
Toyama Prefecture, Hashimoto Haruna, 14 years old.
Earlier, I heard Takahashi Minami-san tell us a lot of things.
I thought I would definitely pass and stand on the Tokyo Dome.
That smile was dazzling.
I can't say it now, but don't cry like that.
I won't forget.
Let's meet again in ten years.
I'll be waiting for you in this place.
I'll shine more and more.
I hope I can see this scenery again.
Team A and everyone will continue to work hard to meet you,
so please support us!
Gifu Prefecture, Hattori Yuna, 13 years old.
Team A and everyone will continue to work hard to meet you,
so please support us!
I was anxious at first.
My teacher was strict and scary.
I cried a lot.
But I think I've grown up.
I've been accepted into the team for two years, so I'm not confident.
As long as I can do my best in the audition, I think I'm good enough.
Like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind somewhere
See you in ten years, I'll be waiting for you in this place
Shine brighter than you are now
Graduation is a process, it's almost a reunion
I'll be with you, who I love more than love that will soon burn out
Everyone, today is really...
Shiga prefecture, Hama, Sayuna, 12 years old.
First of all, I want to do my best.
I want to do my best not to forget to smile.
And I want to do what I can do.
That's why I start walking alone.
The meaning of the season that I met you.
That smile was dazzling.
We can't go together, but don't cry like that.
I won't forget.
Let's meet again ten years later.
I'll be waiting for you in this place.
Shine brighter than you are now.
Today, I'm very happy to be excited with my fans.
Thank you very much!
Yamanashi prefecture, Tomo Hidari, 16 years old.
Shiga prefecture, Hama, Sayuna, 12 years old.
I feel like I'm going to be really nervous.
So, I want to perform like I'm really dancing on stage.
Yes, sayuna.
You're closer to me than love that burns out right away.
No matter how many times cherry blossoms bloom, I won't forget this day.
Everyone on the stage, thank you for coming to see me today.
Okayama Prefecture, Hitomi Kotone, 13 years old.
I feel like my voice doesn't come out when I sing while dancing.
If I'm not called by my name when I'm performing, I'll be depressed for a moment.
But I'm confident because I can definitely dance.
Your smile was dazzling.
I can't be with you, but don't cry so much.
I won't forget you.
Somewhere, like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind,
it's time for everyone to fly and start walking on their own.
Everyone who came to the venue, thank you very much for today!
Don't be afraid of failure. First of all, it's a challenge.
I was taught that it is better to challenge than not to challenge,
but I will continue to challenge myself and be confident in myself.
Like the petals of a flower fluttering in the wind,
the time has come for everyone to flap their wings and set off on their own.
I will see you again in ten years. I will be waiting for you in this place.
Shine brighter than you are now.
Thank you very, very much for today!
Fujimura Natsuki, 17 years old, Aichi Prefecture.
How do you feel about your first competition?
I'm very anxious. I'm sure I'm more anxious than anyone else.
I'm not good at dancing or singing at all.
But I think I have no choice but to do it.
I don't think I'm inferior to anyone in my feelings of wanting to enter.
I will do my best so that I have no regrets.
Your smile was dazzling.
I can't go with you, but don't cry so much.
I won't forget you.
See you in ten years.
I'll be waiting for you here.
Shine brighter than you are now.
Tochigi Prefecture, Honda Hitomi, 12 years old.
I think I can do it if I show my individuality, so I will do my best to show the results of my practice.
Like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind from somewhere,
it's time for everyone to flap their wings and walk out on their own.
So I can protect you more.
We are...
Everyone is...
Okinawa Prefecture, Miyazato Lilla, 12 years old.
It's crazy, isn't it? It's crazy, isn't it?
I'm sorry, but I can't concentrate in the main performance, so I want to do my best.
See you again. I'll be waiting for you in this place. Shine brighter than you are now.
Graduation is a process. Meeting you for the first and second time. I'm more in love with you than love that burns out quickly.
Fans, thank you for giving me a dreamlike stage today!
I've shed a lot of tears and sweat so far, so I'm going to look back on the players.
I can't go with you, but don't cry like that. I won't forget you.
See you in ten years.
I'll be waiting for you in this place.
Shine brighter than you are now.
Graduation is a process.
I promise to meet you again.
I love you more than love that burns out soon.
Just one word!
Let me say it!
Miyazaki Prefecture, Yaguchi Moka, 13 years old.
This is a selection training camp, but we won't be selecting anyone.
We're doing it for their growth.
The time has come for everyone to fly, and everyone will walk out on their own.
See you in ten years, I'll be waiting for you in this place.
Shine brighter than anyone else.
Graduation is a process.
Let's make a vow of reunion.
More than love that burns out in your heart,
I'll always love you.
Everyone!
Team "ET" will continue to run forward!
Team "ET", let's go!
Hyogo Prefecture, Yamada Nanami, fifteen years old.
I wanted to appeal my singing, and I was doing my best, but I got carried away.
I told everyone, "What should I do?"
So I want to do my best with everything my dance teacher told me to do.
The meaning of the season that passed since I met you
That smile was dazzling
I can't go with you, but don't cry like that
I won't forget you
I'll see you in ten years at this place
Shine brighter than you are now
Thank you so much for today!
Wakayama prefecture, Yamamoto Ruka, 13 years old.
I've been working hard for the past three days, so I'm confident.
I think I'll regret it or make a mistake in the actual performance, but I'll do my best until the end and make sure I don't regret it tomorrow.
It's time for everyone to flap their wings like cherry blossoms dancing in the back alley and blowing in the wind.
I'll walk out on my own so I can protect you more.
Today, really, really, I'm glad I saw everyone.
Shizuoka Prefecture, Yokomichi, 13 years old.
In my previous lessons, I wasn't told to do a good one.
I was a little worried, but I'm trying my best.
If I say I want to pass, it's like I'm going to pass.
Somewhere, like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind,
Very Impossum, no matter how many times it blooms,
I won't forget this day.
Let's meet again in ten years.
I'll be waiting for you here.
Shine brighter than you are now.
Aomori Prefecture, Yokoyama Yui, thirteen years old.
I will do my best to be in the top 10.
Everyone walks out in a hurry and in a hurry.
Meeting you meant a lot to me.
Your smile was dazzling.
10 years later, I hope we can shine together.
I swear my love for you.
I'm happier than love that burns out quickly.
Everyone!
Today, I really...
Chiba Prefecture, Yoshikawa Nanase, 16 years old.
I would be happy if I could show what I have learned in these three days in front of my teachers.
Somewhere, like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind,
the time has come for everyone to take flight and walk out on their own,
so that I can protect you more.
Everyone!
Thank you so, so much for today!
Oita Prefecture, Yoshino Miyu, thirteen years old.
No matter what the result is, whether I fall or win, I think it's my own ability, so I want to do my best.
It's like cherry blossoms dancing in the wind somewhere.
It's as if time has come and I'm walking out alone.
Graduation is a process, but I'm always looking forward to it.
I'm very happy to spend such a wonderful time with you today.
Thank you very much!
Team 8, which participated in this audition training camp, finished all 38 performances.
After the audition, they...
Well, we did it. We did it, so when it was over, we were happy and cried.
We were nervous about dancing and singing, and our voices were shaking.
It made us want to move, but it was really hard.
We did our best, so we don't regret it much, but we still don't know it well ourselves.
I don't remember dancing at all.
You did!
I don't remember it at all. I don't remember the scenery at all.
Confidence...
I don't really remember how I did it, so I forgot my memories.
I don't know if I was wrong or if I was dancing properly, so I can't say anything right now.
I couldn't keep up with the song, and I said a lot of things, so it didn't work out.
My body became lighter.
My mentality has improved a lot.
Yes, our mentality.
There were some parts that I was stuck in, but I said what I wanted to say, and I don't regret it much.
I don't know about you, but I think I had the most fun.
Sometimes you can't do the performance you want and you end up crying.
I was more nervous than I thought, and I couldn't sing or dance.
It's frustrating, but I think I did my best, so I don't regret it.
It's frustrating that I can't do it at all in one word.
My head is still blank, so I think I'm still lacking practice.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
On the other hand, at the screening venue,
Three teachers who worked as teachers in the lesson
A limited screening by five judges began.
Now, 16 people can stand on the dome and sing.
What do you think of this, teacher?
She was very friendly and common-minded at yesterday's MC lesson.
But as an idol, I think it's a different matter.
She's like a popular girl in town.
It's much better than during the lesson.
I agree.
She's not particularly good at it, but I feel like she's in the middle of it.
The choice is also a serious game.
The discussion went as far as the growth during the training camp.
Of course, everyone was doing their best, and it's true that we're doing our best,
but I'm not particularly good at it like you guys,
but people tend to go to girls they're interested in.
I can understand that.
Because people know what you're wearing.
Can we choose a double center?
Sounds good.
Basically, it was a double-center between Judy and Mayeda.
I see.
By the way...
I think we'll make a really great team.
If you just look at this normally, you have to add one more person.
One more person.
This time, Anna-sensei adopted the double center formation that she proposed.
After that, the judging was tough and the meeting lasted for more than an hour.
This is B, right?
Except for this.
So, 16 people have been decided.
Yes.
So, what do we do with the center?
Isn't this enough?
Shinobu-chan will announce this.
The two people who will be the double center will be decided by unanimous vote.
After this, 16 people who will sing "Ten Year Cherry Blossom" at the Tokyo Dome will be announced.
An hour has passed since the audition ended, but the members are still nervous.
To there...
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your patience and hard work, everyone.
Thank you for your hard work.
Now, we have decided the 16 people selected for this Tokyo Dome, so we will announce them.
If you are told your name, please come forward.
No. 3, Ohta Nao.
Yes. Thank you.
No. 6, Oda Erina.
Yes.
No. 9, Kurano Narumi.
Yes.
No. 12, Sato Nanami.
Thank you.
No. 15, Shimo Aoki.
Yes.
No. 17, Tani Yuuri.
Yes.
20, Nakano Ikumi. Yes, thank you.
23, Hattori Yura. Yes, thank you.
26, Hitomi Kotone. Yes, thank you.
29, Honda Hitomi. Yes, thank you.
30, Miyazato Lira. Yes, thank you.
31, Mogi Kasumi. Yes, thank you.
33, Yamada Nanami. Yes, thank you.
34, Yamamoto Ruka. Yes, thank you.
35, Yokomichi Yuri. Yes, thank you.
Lastly, 37, Yoshikawa Nanase. Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
Please go to the front.
Next, we will announce the MC.
As for the MC, 20, Nakano-san, please.
Yes, thank you.
Good luck!
Thank you.
Lastly, we will announce the MC for "Tokyo Dome Election."
Please, Yoshikawa-san.
Yes.
This time, we will have two MCs.
First, Nakano Ikumi.
Yes.
The second one, Yukomichi Yuri.
Yes, thank you.
These two will form a formation as a double center.
Finally, Shinobu-chan, as a summary.
Well, I think you've been waiting for the result of the audition.
We had a lot of trouble.
After all, as a result of various talks,
This time we had a training camp to go up to the stage of the Tokyo Dome.
On the other hand, the teachers gave me a lot of lessons.
That chance was only once.
So I couldn't show my skills properly there.
That means I missed the chance.
The members who are now on the stage and the members who are now sitting in chairs are almost the same.
But I think you all know that you have to make each and every chance you only get once.
That's all for the training camp. Thank you for your hard work.
Team 8 is not over yet, so we have to move forward.
This time, I want you all to work hard so that you can be selected for the 16th place or be selected for the AKB selection.
Keep up the good work. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work.
On the other hand, those who are defeated in the war crimes conflict and shed tears.
But this is not the end, but the start.
In order to overcome the tears of the king, we must become even stronger in this world.
The members chosen for this selection are also the same.
What do the two who won the center think?
I really didn't think I would be chosen.
My face is scared and I'm emotional.
I thought I couldn't do it anymore,
but I really thought I would do my best with all my heart
for more than 15 people other than me.
As for Sakana, I think she is a person who can lead everyone
both in performance and behind the scenes.
I'm happy that I was chosen for this role.
I'm happy that I'm not in the center anymore.
But I want to keep pulling everyone and do my best
to increase the number of teammates.
In any case, I think impact helps.
In that sense, I think her performance will stay in people's hearts for a long time.
The 16 people chosen for the Tokyo Dome will then repeat their lessons and head for their dream stage.
It's like this, but we'd like to call in our fresh teammates!
Teammates!
Fresh!
Teammates, are you ready?
Is it OK?
The next song is "Teammates"!
Here we go!
Everyone! Please!
Three minutes of singing with all their might.
Sixteen people return to the school after finishing their dream stage.
There was a person who secretly looked at their heroes in the Tokyo Dome from the audience seats.
Yes, Mr. Sugai, who was in charge of voice training at the training camp...
How did you like it today?
I felt accomplished.
You felt accomplished. And...
It was fun.
Um...
I want you all to show me...
It's definitely not good.
It's not like the song doesn't ring at all...
The dancing...
I'm doing my best, but it's messy, isn't it?
There are people who say they feel accomplished now...
You feel accomplished in your own way, don't you?
But you can't do it in your own way.
Do you have to feel accomplished when you see everyone?
And...
When I think about it...
Did you really feel your feelings?
I'm sorry.
As a professional who works in music...
It's not very...
I can't talk to you all.
I felt that way.
But...
There's only one thing...
I've thought about.
It's very complicated, but...
I felt a little heat.
Heat is the temperature you know.
I wonder if you want to buy it.
From that training camp...
That...
The feeling of not running away from the training camp...
No matter what the teacher says...
Even if you're told anything...
Somehow you get through it.
That kind of feeling...
I feel like it's showing up a little on the stage.
It's like one of them is slightly stained by the pitch black starry sky.
But today is really just a start for everyone.
It's not like I'm a star yet.
No matter how beautiful the words are, no matter how beautiful the song is,
No matter how many people look at it,
If you don't have love, glitter, or jewels in your heart, you'll be a liar.
I think it's more important to sweat than that and be determined to do something.
I think it's more important to be determined to take one step forward and one step forward.
I think that kind of love is more understood and transmitted.
I hope you can love like that.
That's all.
Thank you very much for your time today.
If you're a professional, aim higher without being satisfied here.
They received a love ail like Tsugai Sensei.
Since training camp, their growth has certainly continued, and the number of fans who visit the event has increased dramatically.
Their dream theater performance debut will also come true.
And finally, a nationwide tour is also decided.
Team 8, which still has potential, will build the history of the next akb48.
