AISubs v3.6
I wanted to meet you, I wanted to meet you, I wanted to meet you, yes!
I wanted to meet you!
This program is brought to you by the following sponsors!
The internet society is expanding.
On the other hand, lack of communication is becoming a social problem.
I really like you.
Yes.
I like you and I think you have to come.
I've been doing AKB for a long time.
That's your own problem.
In order to face a modern society where there are few conflicts of interest,
AKB members revealed everything to the same generation of girls and talked about it tonight.
Genhai Joshi no Honne - Catharsis!
"Catharsis" means "the liberation of the oppressed mind" in Greek.
Tonight, we're going to have AKB48 members and 11 other women of the same generation
talk about their feelings.
And we have two bad boys as adult representatives.
Thank you for joining us.
Thank you for having me.
Mr. Sasata.
Yes?
It's a unique atmosphere.
It's a great atmosphere, isn't it?
Yes.
AKB has a radical atmosphere.
Today, we're going to hear young girls' true feelings.
Yes.
I'm looking forward to it.
I'd like to know how girls of this age feel.
Ms. Takahashi.
Yes?
How does it feel to talk with women of the same generation?
I've never done it before, so I'm a little nervous.
I'm scared.
Ms. Hoshiga.
Yes, it's a rare opportunity.
I'm looking forward to hearing what other girls do,
what they enjoy doing, and what they say.
Ms. Takahashi, please tell us how you feel.
I'll do my best.
Let's get started.
Today's topic is...
What is a best friend?
I'm sure you all have problems with relationships.
Let me ask you about best friends and friends.
First of all, I have a question for you.
How many best friends do you have? Write it on the sticker you have in your hand.
I'm sure you all have different ideas about where best friends come from.
Well, yes, I'm pretty much barely a best friend.
Barely?
As you can see in the number of best friends written in self-destructive writing,
What do modern girls think of best friends?
Ms. Hamasaki, what do you mean by best friends?
Well, it's not like I want to get along with anyone.
It's like a family.
I think a best friend is someone you think will change your life if you don't have one.
How about you, Ms. Hachio?
Well, yes.
Even if I don't like being called best friends,
I think it's best friends are people who are called by others to fix themselves.
There are a lot of best friends, right?
Yes, there are a lot of best friends.
I don't think best friends are something you can do.
I think there are a lot of really good friends.
But I don't think there are dozens of people like that.
I don't think that's a best friend.
I think it's a group of really close friends.
A definition of a best friend is...
For example, when I have something I don't like or something I'm really happy about,
I say, "Oh, I'll talk to her."
I don't like e-mails or phone calls,
but if it's just the three of us, I'll call her right away.
I think it's best friends are people you can talk to or talk about things you can't talk about with others.
What kind of people are they?
Well, one of them is a good friend of mine since elementary school in Kagoshima.
And I think the other two are members of AKB.
One of them is Haruka Katayama.
And the other one is Sae Miyazawa.
I'm the type of person who cares a lot about what the other person is thinking.
But it's a little scary, isn't it, being in here?
It's scary, isn't it?
By the way, there are two people in Katayama.
Yes.
Is Kashiwagi in there?
No, he's not.
Something scary has happened.
Is that so?
You were there, weren't you, Katayama?
I think being able to say anything, from silly things to deep things, is what you call a best friend.
Being able to say anything?
Well, I can say pretty much anything.
But, well, I don't think we're best friends.
The way you think about friends is different.
It's not like you're not best friends.
No, we're not.
Are you relieved?
Yes, I'm fine.
We'll get along well from now on, too.
The members are Katayama, who is not best friends.
On the other hand...
Kokanshi-san is alone.
Yes, I'm Matchan.
Oh, Matchan.
Yes, Matchan.
As for the members...
I don't mind being best friends, so I want everyone to be best friends.
But I think we're different.
We're not best friends.
We're more like a family.
Are you a family member?
Yes.
Why is that?
We've been through a lot together.
When we're working hard...
we're like a family.
We've reached a point where we can't breathe.
They say we can say anything.
But I don't see it like that.
When we're really in trouble...
I don't want to say it.
I don't want to get involved.
I'm really curious about where it's coming from.
How about you two?
I'm with my local friends.
We work together all the time.
So we talk about our problems.
We don't talk about things that make it hard for us to work.
We don't talk about anything.
We met each other at work.
So we're like friends.
Kojima-san, your turn.
I didn't include the members.
The members told me to think of them as rivals.
So I didn't include them.
What made you think of them as friends?
I don't like it when people don't think of me as a friend.
So when people tell me about me on blogs,
I think of them as my friends.
So I think of them as my friends.
So you think of them as your friends.
The members are always together.
But many people say that they're not friends.
Akemoto-san, your turn.
There are four of us.
Six of you.
Who is it?
I don't want to say it.
Who is it?
I don't want to say it.
Can you say it?
No!
What is it?
Yuko and the mirror.
Can I see it?
No, I'm not.
Sayaka is in it.
Really?
But if you can't confirm it, is it okay to write it?
I've never confirmed it.
When you become close friends, you have a lot of them.
So I wrote it as a friendship of hearts.
We really understand each other's hearts.
I really think that friends are those who understand each other even if they don't have anything in common.
Yuko thinks of me like that.
Sayaka and I are like that.
What do you mean by "friendship"?
There are parts where we respect each other, but there are also parts where we don't respect each other.
But we're rivals.
Friendship is a relationship where you can improve each other.
If I become friends with someone who I don't think of as a rival,
I don't want to feel like I want to win, so I don't think of it as a rival.
I also think of the members as different things.
I don't like it when we become friends like a group.
I think it's different for you to make up something like "I have to win this guy."
I also think of it as a friendship, but I think of it as a rival.
We're friends, but we're rivals.
It's difficult.
What does "friendship" mean?
It's not a bad rival, it's a good rival.
It's not a family member, it's not a best friend, it's not a friend.
Then what is it?
A member.
A colleague.
The members say they are not best friends.
But...
I am from the same hometown.
And we are three members.
When I was among you, I thought you were my best friend.
I feel like crying.
But you don't think she is your best friend, do you?
I don't think she is my best friend, either.
What are you talking about?
No, no.
It's not like that.
I thought you were my best friend.
That's wrong.
I don't think you are my best friend.
If you don't want to talk about your problems with your best friend, raise your hand.
Please.
I don't want to.
I don't like my best friend telling me to talk about everything.
I want to talk about it when I want to.
But if I talk about everything I have in my mind,
my best friend will be upset, too.
I am the type of person who can solve my problems.
So I think about my problems and ask my best friend for help.
Takahashi never talks about his problems with his best friend.
Then, Yokoyama talks about his shocking past.
I don't like the word "problems".
There is a reason for it.
When I was in junior high school, there was a paper on my desk that said "die".
I was worried about it and told my teacher that it was in it.
But I didn't want my parents to know about it.
I told my teacher not to tell my parents about it.
But my parents called me that night.
I wanted to tell my parents about it.
But I didn't want them to know about it.
I didn't want them to know about it.
So I stopped talking about it.
I tried not to think about it as a problem.
I don't have a problem with my best friend.
In my case, I think about it.
For example, I have three patterns in my mind.
When I think about what I should do, I ask people around me.
For example, my best friend or my parents.
The members can't talk about their problems directly with their best friends.
But each of them has their own reasons for it.
I don't have a problem with my best friend.
I try not to think about it.
My best friends are people who give me interesting answers.
So it's easier for me to talk about it.
When I'm really worried about something, I don't talk about it to my best friends.
I talk about it to adults with a lot of experience.
I don't talk about it to my best friends.
You don't talk about your worries.
I don't.
When I talk to people, I think that my worries and thoughts get bigger than I think.
I want to ask for advice.
Even if it's a best friend, it may spread like that.
If it's a light worry like "may it spread?", I sometimes ask for advice from my best friends.
Basically, I don't want to bother people so much, so I don't do it very much.
Do you have any troubles because you're best friends?
Yes, I do.
I'm a friend of my hometown.
If I send a blog post about my work, I sometimes send it to my friends in my hometown.
Because I can't post about my work until this time, I sometimes feel like I'm a celebrity.
Sometimes I feel embarrassed.
I only talk about my work to my members and my parents.
I don't want my friends in my hometown to think of me as an a.k.a.b., but as Sayaka Akimoto.
I see.
Let's move on to the next topic.
Do you like yourself?
I'd like you to answer this question.
Do you like yourself?
If you think you like it, please erase it.
I don't like it that much.
People who like themselves and people who hate themselves are almost half and half.
How do you see yourself in girls' eyes?
First of all, you like yourself, don't you?
Yes, I do.
I have a complex and I hate myself.
Especially after I started this job, I have to understand myself first.
Sometimes I'm anxious and sometimes I don't have confidence.
If I don't believe in myself first, I don't think I can do this job.
I thought it was important for me to like myself from there.
- Takasa? - I...
To be honest, I don't like myself.
I don't like myself because I don't think I can look at myself again even if I like myself too much.
I think the opposite of "like" is "ignorance".
As long as I'm not ignorant of myself, I think it's "liking" myself.
I want to "like" myself.
I don't like myself because I can't "like" myself.
I think I have to do it until I'm satisfied with myself.
But I think it's the same for people.
Because we like ourselves, we want to know more about ourselves.
When we like ourselves and want to know more about ourselves,
we can have many positive thoughts and discover many different sides of ourselves.
So I think I have to "like" myself.
But in the end, it's your own self-satisfaction, isn't it?
That's not what I think.
I don't have confidence in myself.
Anyone can see that I'm fat, not cute, and don't look good.
There are many things like that.
But I can "like" myself.
If you ask me whether I like or hate myself, I hate myself!
No matter how much I try to lose weight, I can't.
Even if I try to be cute, it's bad because it's bad from the beginning.
I think it's better to try it once and die.
If you try to die, does that mean you've done something?
I'm living to die now.
A member of akb48, Matsui, who is also a graduate student, will talk about it.
Akb is certainly attracting attention now, but it's really a handful.
Even if you meet for the first time today, I'm sure there are many people who don't know me.
I'm going to college.
I've been told that I'm doing akb as a part-time job.
I've been told that I should do it as soon as possible as a student.
But I want to do it in the entertainment world.
I'm on a big ship called akb right now.
I know that I can't do anything if I go out alone.
If I don't try to die in the entertainment world, I'm sure there won't be anyone who knows me in the future.
Matsui talked about the importance of trying to like yourself.
But!
I may look like I'm not doing anything with all my might,
I'm living with all my might!
But I want to be a talent too!
There is something like "wanting to be a talent", right?
Dieting is a part of being a talent!
Why do you have to lose weight with all your might?
What do you think, Arai-san?
Regarding Nobuo's opinion...
It's true that if you lose weight, you might be cute.
Even if you diet with all your might, I don't know if you'll achieve it.
Even I don't know.
But in the end, when you look at it like this...
Everyone is thin!
But we're all trying!
We're all trying!
We don't eat much!
We're all trying right now!
But that's AKB!
As a Nobue Yui who doesn't have an AKB title, what does that mean for you?
It's like Nobue Koten.
That's not all that's painful. Living is also painful.
There's a lot of painful things.
First of all, you say you want to be a talent and you come in.
But if you ask me if I can eat it, I can't eat it at all.
Even if you say you only have a part-time job, you've never eaten wet tissue.
Right now, there are a lot of people living under their parents.
Coming out of Osaka, being kicked out one by one, living alone.
Paying for heat, paying for rent.
Even though you're struggling with that, why are you still dieting there?
It's painful.
But if you say it in this environment, you can do what you like at work and eat it.
I'll say it. The more you eat, the more you get.
You're being really honest.
I'm not being honest. There's a lot of painful things.
People say I'm ugly.
But you're cute!
If you're ugly, what am I supposed to be?
In the middle of all of that, you say you're cute.
I really like Nobue-san's character right now.
Even if you're fat, you're fat and you're not cute and ugly.
There's no one who can say all of that for themselves.
I like people who can say that.
I like your voice too. It's kind of husky.
She praised you.
If you're praised, you'll smile.
In the end, you want to be praised, right, Nobue- san?
No, it's not like that!
I'm happy when I'm praised.
When I say it, I want men to hug me.
I don't have that kind of experience.
You've been saying it for a while now.
Everyone works hard for that.
We've been fat in the past.
We have various complexes, but we've overcome them.
It's not like we don't do anything.
I think it's wrong to just complain like that.
We're running out of time.
Lastly, Nobue-san, please give Kojima-san some advice.
Now that I've said it, I think I like myself a lot.
Thank you!

That's the only answer to me, I want to protect you forever
NOSE LEAVES - 2011 first single "Answer"
This is an aftertune written from a sad boy's perspective, which is also a hot topic as the ending theme of a popular anime!
What is it that makes my heart hurt just by being nearby?
This is the first time I've felt such a passionate feeling that can't be expressed in words.
But you don't know it, the wind keeps beating
If love is for someday, it's okay to stay like this until that day comes.
your heart is about to break
Who taught you this now?
There's love you can only give
Just smile without knowing anything
That's my one and only answer
I don't want you to notice this pain
Help me!
