AISubs v3.5
One day in May, a music video shoot is being held on this day.
The staff of AKB48 Group have entered the set.
It's the usual scene you see at the set of a music video shoot.
However, while waiting and eating, the key members don't show up.
Then...
It's pink in order.
It's 2-4, completely.
Yes, it's not the members who stand in front of the camera on this day.
It's the backstage staff who always supports them with money.
What is this?
This is lotion.
They will challenge AKB48's 41st single "Halloween Night".
The staff's version of the music video.
The dance is of course valuable.
The staff's smiles disappeared from their faces.
Let's go!
Understood!
Yes, let's go!
The staff who usually supports the members in the shadows,
took off their clothes and took a bath.
It was a hot summer's morning.
Behind that, each AKB48 Group's feelings were hidden.
It all began, of course, with that person.
"Halloween Night" staff version music video will be made.
Everyone involved, please vote.
At 10 p.m. on this day, the staff selection chosen by Yasshi Akimoto will be announced.
Only 16 of the 300 or more performers will appear in the music video.
The main staff interrupted the meeting and waited for the announcement.
Of course, the composer, this man, too.
"Halloween Night" staff version music video will be made.
And here, too...
"Halloween Night" staff version music video will be made.
However, even after the scheduled time, Yasshi Akimoto's announcement is not made.
At that time...
- Is it here? - I think it's here.
- Tomorrow? - What?
- Not yet? - Not yet?
- And it's in silver!
- The announcement will be held the next day.
- Is this also directed by Yasshi Akimoto?
- I'm sorry, but I can't do it. I'll do it tomorrow. I'm sorry.
- That's awful. - That's awful.
- You idiot!
- Today, there will be no announcement. - There won't be.
- What? It's not today?
- Before it starts, the adults on the stage are very excited.
- They can't think of anything else to do.
- The next day...
- Sixth place? Seventh place?
- Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
- It's here!
- Fourth place!
- Fourth place.
- It was a middle-aged group of 44 years old on average.
- Most of the 16 people were inexperienced dancers.
Moreover, the training period was only one week.
It was an intensive schedule just like AKB.
Of course, the main business was priority.
On this day, only three people were able to participate in the lesson.
AKB48 group "so shiny" and all costumes of the group were designed by Shinobe Kaya.
Director Eiki Takahashi, who has shot many music videos.
And the editor Hiroyuki Aoki, who also worked on "rock- paper-scissors".
Do you think your heel will go up when you go forward?
When you bend?
It stretches the moment you bend.
I forgot.
It stretches and goes up.
Let's dance to the music.
What do you think?
I have no idea.
Neither do I.
I thought I couldn't do it, but I didn't know I could do it like this.
It doesn't move because it's far away from the mirror.
(A.K.A. SOUMUBU)
What's your number?
13.
Why?
I'm not that noticeable.
Today's lesson will be from A.K.A. SOUMUBU, "Recently Not So Much".
S.K.A. 48 theater performer, Iwasa Hiroshi.
A.K.A. SOUMUBU, "Recently Not So Much".
S.K.A. 48 theater performer, Tomoya Shiba.
However, everyone has a huge workload.
I left an email.
This lesson may have been a little reckless.
This Halloween night's choreography is not as simple as it looks.
The members of this day also participated in the impression part of the lesson the day before.
The impression part is difficult.
When you make a word like "onigiri", it gets stuck in my head.
Let's make it "matsuken".
"matsuken" and "matsuken" and "matsuken" and "matsuken" and "matsuken" and "matsuken" and "matsuken" and "matsuken" and "matsuken" and "matsuken".
What is "matsuken"?
What is it?
- It's "Oginome". - Yes, it's "Oginome".
- You're the one who said it. - I said it.
- Let's go with "Oginome". - Let's do "Oginome".
- Let's start with "Matsuken". - Let's do "Oginome".
- It's good if you know the flow. - Let's do "Matsuken".
- Yes, "Oginome". - "Oginome".
- "Oginome".
- They say "Oginome" but I don't know it. - Are you okay?
- I don't know what it is and I feel like I'm being bullied.
- It's hard. I can't do it. It's not good.
- But you have to do your best. - I'll do my best.
The lesson continued until late at night.
Why does Kairoba work so hard?
This is what Kayano said about that reason.
At first, I couldn't sell my clothes at all.
They didn't lend me any of their clothes.
They said "Akiba clothes are a bit..." and lent me some.
But they told me not to put my name or credit card number on it.
They said "If you put it on, you'll get an image of the brand."
In the past, I was frustrated and emailed Akimoto.
I think it's good to do what you think is stupid with all your might.
Not only do we tell the members to do their best,
but we also want to do our best together.
Yes.
The staff here also has special feelings for this music video shoot.
It's my first selection, so it's a great honor.
Everyone sent me a congratulatory email.
In fact, she...
I hope I can meet you all again someday.
I will continue to do my best!
When she graduated from AKB, which was her dream due to her leg injury...
I was really, really happy!
Now she works for AKS General Staff and supports the members.
To be honest, I didn't watch any TV.
Um...
When I graduated...
How can I say...
I quit because of my leg injury, but I'm not completely satisfied with myself, but I know I can't do it anymore and I won't be involved in it for the rest of my life.
But he made my dream come true, so I feel like I can do something in return.
If that's the case, I want to be on the side that supports AKB.
I hope I can tell you that I'm supporting you as a staff member.
The last day of the lesson.
Finally, the center showed up.
I wonder how the person who's always filming will be filmed.
That's what I'm looking forward to.
The center was composer Yoshimasa Inoue, a hit maker who has provided the most songs to AKB.
Inoue is also a jazz pianist.
Of course, he's good at playing the piano.
But he was inspired by AKB and gave himself a new challenge.
That's this guitar.
I hadn't recorded my own guitar before.
After I started playing AKB...
I didn't ask a professional to replace it for me.
I left my own guitar as it was on the CD.
Of course, I practiced more and more.
That's how we got together and made music.
Well, it may be an episode.
I also make songs quite often.
This one.
Gibson.
I usually use a keyboard.
With this guitar...
Like "Ten Years of Cherry Blossom"
I was doing it while looking at the chords.
AKB is doing their best, so they want to show themselves.
Yes.
I felt like I was playing desperately.
I thought it was important.
I was surprised.
AKB is doing their best, so they want to show themselves.
Of course, this center is doing their best, too.
Let's do it again!
Thank you!
Lessons are over.
Shiny Ozaki, who finished his work, has finally arrived from Hakata.
Did you practice?
No, I didn't practice for more than ten years.
I practiced with videos and mirrors.
What position are you in?
Ninth place, Paruru.
Paruru?
Paruru's position.
Paruru.
Good for you. You've aged a lot, Paruru.
Let's do it.
Everyone is busy with their jobs, but finally the main members have gathered.
As expected, it's a challenge.
This dry step.
I thought it was dry.
Damn it!
The rooms are crazy, aren't they?
There are so many rooms.
What is it?
This is difficult.
This?
Mr. Suzuki, who was in charge of practice, showed him a video of his practice.
May I?
Yes, please.
It's not over yet.
This is going to be hard.
There are some complicated parts, but I feel like it's going to be hard to do.
I think the impression part is one of the basics, but if you do it well there, the quality of the promotion video will go up.
Michael Jackson's impressions were all important, so I hope you remember and overcome them.
Each of them had their own thoughts in their hearts as they faced the dance.
But in the end, not everyone was able to complete the dance until the end.
With anxiety in their hearts, tomorrow will finally be the actual performance.
The day of filming.
The stage is being set up for the players who only have one day to perform.
Is it because of their anxiety about the dance steps, or is it because of their lack of practice in the training room?
I can't do it. I have to do it again.
It's not good here.
Finally, rehearsal at the set.
But, an accident occurs here.
Is it possible to stand like this?
Huh?
I can stand normally over there.
Why?
What's wrong?
I can't stand like this.
It's quite narrow here.
So, I changed my position.
I'm changing my position.
I can't remember.
Since the set was narrower than expected,
they changed their positions.
The first part is like this.
It's easy for me to go inside.
So, it's 2.5.
This is the first part where the members get confused.
I'm 3.25.
Huh?
Oh, it's 1.5.
Moreover, for the middle-aged staff who can't keep up with the dancing,
it's the worst situation.
The set is in a panic state.
One step forward.
Yes.
This is the position I changed earlier.
Right before the show...
Everyone, move to the same position.
Suddenly, the staff gets confused with the change of positions.
It's hot.
Mic.
The one who changed my nervous mood is...
Ms. Jurina!
Thank you for coming!
Are you having fun?
I can't enjoy it yet.
I can't enjoy it.
I want you to enjoy your usual performance.
I got it!
I'll do my best!
You're perfect!
I'll do my best!
I'm looking forward to it!
She said she regained her awareness of the center in Matsui's appearance.
In order to unite everyone here...
I thought I'd start the engine.
Thank you for everything!
Please be careful!
STF48!
Now, it's time for the actual performance.
Calmly, carefully, accurately...
The AKB48 group's feelings are expressed in this moment.
Please give us a round of applause!
Usually, behind the camera...
Sometimes strict, sometimes warm-hearted...
But when they stand in front of the camera...
And their impressions...
The AKB48 group's feelings are expressed in this moment.
It's serious.
Hey, hey, shut up and move!
Of course, we had to do it all over again.
It was a bit of a relief, but...
Keep! Keep!
Keep, please!
Oh no!
Thank you!
It's not over yet.
Can we do it one more time?
It's all messed up now.
We couldn't keep it at the end.
And then, take three.
It's the last chance, both physically and mentally.
How did they do?
Somehow, they cleared it.
On top of that, they didn't show any groove during practice.
Keep! Keep! Keep!
And...
Good job!
Good job! Good job!
Good job!
Good smile!
Smile! Smile! Smile!
Everyone is serious and amazing!
This is good, isn't it?
Yeah, it's amazing.
In addition, Takahashi and Sashihara, who rushed to support, also joined in,
for the last dance time.
Isn't it really interesting?
It's just a staff dance.
But they kept dancing with all their might until the end.
What is driving them to this point?
For me, an AKB group is...
something that doesn't exist.
Is it happiness?
Is it smiles?
Is it a place for learning?
I want them to feel like, "I want to go there."
That's my first point.
It's an eternal challenge.
It makes you young.
It gives you energy and makes you young.
It makes you feel like you're young.
It's a symbol of your best effort.
Their best effort.
Yes, the AKB48 group is always doing their best.
The members and the staff.
Their best effort is a little embarrassing,
but it's interesting because it's their best effort.
Next time, the world's most useless class.
As always, welcome back. It's time for the present quiz.
Here is today's quiz.
Who is the center of the staff selection?
It's that composer who worked hard and had passionate thoughts.
The deadline is August 25th, Tuesday evening at 6pm.
At the end of the quiz, 10 people will receive a Neos special T-shirt.
Working hard is the best.
The world's most useless class begins.
The members will become teachers and teach you about things you like and don't like.
I'm a maniac, but come with me!
When you turn it, it goes up.
Butt.
Let's push our heads.
August 30th, 6pm. Make sure you do it yourself!
