AISubs v3.5
I wanted to meet you, I wanted to meet you, I wanted to meet you because I wanted to meet you.
I like it and I think I have to do it.
I've always been thinking about AKB.
Does that make you uncomfortable?
In order to face a modern society where there are few conflicts of intentions,
AKB members revealed everything to the same generation of girls and talked about it tonight.
Modern girls' true nature, catharsis.
"Catharsis" means "the liberation of the oppressed mind" in Greek.
Tonight, we're going to have the AKB48 members and 11 girls of the same generation
who have gathered in the studio tonight to talk about their true feelings.
And as adult representatives, we'd like the two bad boys to join us.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for having me.
Now, Tata-san.
Yes?
What do you think of the atmosphere?
It's a great atmosphere, isn't it?
Yes.
AKB is a radical atmosphere.
Today, we're going to talk about young girls' true feelings.
Yes.
I'm really looking forward to it.
I'd like to know what young girls' feelings are like at this age.
Takashi-san.
Yes?
What do you think of the opportunity to talk with girls of the same generation besides the members?
No, not at all.
I'm a little nervous.
I'm scared.
Hoshiga-san, what do you think?
Well, it's a rare opportunity.
I'm looking forward to seeing what other girls do besides AKB,
and what they enjoy doing.
I think it's a good place for exchanging opinions.
I'm looking forward to it.
Ms. Kojima-san, your enthusiasm, please.
I'll do my best.
Now, let's get started.
Yes.
Today's topic is...
What is a best friend?
Best friend...
I'm sure you're all worried about human relationships,
but we'd like to ask you about best friends and friends.
First of all, we have a question for you.
How many best friends do you have?
Please write it down on the sticker in your hand.
I'm sure you're all wondering where your best friends come from.
Well, yes.
My best friend is Sata.
Your best friend is Sata?
As you can see from the number of best friends she wrote down,
what does a modern girl think of best friends?
Ms. Hamasaki, what do you think of best friends?
Well, I don't want to get along with anyone.
I think of them like family.
If I lost them,
I'd change my life completely.
That's what I think of best friends.
How about you, Ms. Hamasaki?
Best friends are people who say things I don't like when I say them, but I say them in order for them to fix themselves.
That's a lot of best friends, isn't it?
I don't think best friends are something you can do that much.
I think you might have a lot of really good friends.
But I don't think there are dozens of people like that.
I don't think it's best friends. I think it's a group of really close friends.
Best friends are people who say things I don't like when I say them, but I say them in order for them to fix themselves.
Who are they?
One of them is a good friend of mine from elementary school in Kagoshima.
And two 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 others think.
But it's a little scary to be in this group.
By the way, Katayama has two people, but is Kashiwagi in Sozaka?
No, I'm not.
Scary things have happened.
Is it true? Did you move there, Katayama?
I think best friends are people who can say anything from stupid things to deep things.
Can you say anything?
I can say anything, but I don't think it's best friends.
Her way of thinking about friends is different.
It's not that you're not best friends.
I'm not.
Are you relieved?
Yes, I'm fine.
We'll get along well from now on.
The members are not best friends.
Katayama says that the members are not best friends.
On the other hand...
Okashi-san is alone.
Yes, I'm with Matsu-chan.
Matsu-chan!
As for the members...
If I could be best friends with anyone, I'd like to be best friends with everyone.
But I guess it's different.
They're not best friends.
It's more like a family.
Are you a family?
Yes.
We've been through a lot together.
If we work hard, we can be a family.
We can talk and say anything.
But I don't see it like that.
I don't want to say it when I'm in trouble.
I don't want to get involved.
I'm curious about where it comes from.
How about you, Utara-san?
I have friends in my hometown and friends in Matsu.
The members are always working together.
Depending on my worries, I talk to them.
I can't talk about anything, including things that make it hard for me to work.
We met at work.
I think we're best friends.
Are you best friends?
Yes.
I didn't include the members.
The members have told me to think of them as rivals.
I don't think it's a good idea to include them.
How did you define them as best friends?
This is also a friend of mine in my hometown.
I don't like it when people think of me as a best friend.
When people say that to me or write about me on blogs,
I think of them as best friends.
That's why I think of them as best friends.
Are there any members of your best friends?
The members who are always together.
However, surprisingly, there were many opinions that their relationship was not best friends.
Then, Akimoto-san, would you like to go first?
There are four of us now.
Out of six of you...
Who is it?
No, I definitely don't want to say it.
What do you mean you don't want to say it?
Then, can you say it only for the people in this room?
No, no, no!
Who is it?
Yuuko and Tagami.
Wait, can I say it?!
Can I say it?!
No, I can't!
Sayaka is one of them.
Really?!
But I can't confirm it.
Is it okay for me to say it?
I've never confirmed it.
When you become close friends, there are so many of you.
That's why I wrote "heart-to-heart".
You really understand each other's hearts.
Even if you don't say anything, you understand each other.
I really think that's best friends.
Yuuko thinks it's best friends.
And I think Sayaka thinks it's best friends.
Akima, do you think it's best friends?
There are parts where we respect each other.
But there are also parts where we don't like each other.
But we're rivals.
We're best friends because we're able to improve each other.
I don't think of rivals as friends or best friends.
If you get too close, you'll lose the desire to win.
That's why I didn't include it.
I also think of members as different things.
I don't like it when we become like friends or groups.
I think it's different for you to think you have to win against each other.
I think we're best friends.
But I think we're rivals.
We're friends, but we're rivals.
It's difficult.
What does "best friends" mean?
We're not bad rivals, we're good rivals.
We're not family, we're not best friends, we're not friends.
Then what are you?
We're members.
We're colleagues.
Many say that members are not best friends.
However...
I'm from the same hometown as you two, and you three are members.
When I was in this group, I thought you were Oya and Shi-chan.
That's not true!
But you don't think Oya is your best friend, do you?
I don't think she's my best friend!
What kind of conversation is this?!
It's not like that!
What is it?
I don't think a person who can play tag on the phone is a best friend.
That's wrong!
What's wrong with you?!
We're the same age!
If you have any worries, please ask your best friend.
If you don't, please raise your hand.
Go ahead.
I don't.
I hate when my best friend tells me to talk about everything.
I want to talk when I want to talk.
If you say everything you think like a spit-out,
even if you say everything you think like a spit- out, you'll end up like this.
I'm the type of person who can solve my own problems,
so I think about it and ask for answers.
Takahashi doesn't talk about her worries with her best friend.
Then, when Yokoyama hears about it, she tells her shocking past.
I don't like the word "worries".
There's a reason for that.
When I was in middle school, there was a paper on my desk that said "die".
I was worried about it and told my teacher about it.
But I didn't want my parents to know about it.
I told my teacher not to tell anyone about it.
But my teacher called me that night.
I wanted to tell her about it.
But she told me about it.
I didn't want to tell anyone about it.
So I didn't tell anyone about it.
I tried not to think about it as a problem.
I don't have a problem with Yui.
But in that case, you have to think about it.
For example, if you have something you are thinking about,
you should prepare three patterns.
When you think about what you should do, you should ask others about it.
For example, your best friends or parents.
The members can't talk about their problems directly with their best friends.
But everyone has their own reasons.
I don't have a problem with it.
I try not to think about it.
But when I tell my best friends about it,
they say it in a funny way.
So I say it when I want to feel better.
But when I'm really worried about it, I don't tell my best friends about it.
I talk about it with adults with a lot of experience.
I don't talk about it with my best friends.
You don't talk about it with your best friends.
I don't talk about it with my best friends.
When I talk about it with people,
I think that my worries and thoughts will get bigger than I think.
I want to ask my best friends about it.
Even if it's my best friend, I might talk about it with them.
I want to talk about it with my best friend.
If it's a small problem, I ask my best friend for advice.
But I don't want to bother people with it.
So I don't talk about it with my best friends.
Is there a problem that happened to you because you're best friends?
I have a local friend.
If I send a blog post about my work, I send it to my local friends.
Because I can't post it until this time of year, I feel like I'm a celebrity.
I only talk about work with my members and my parents.
My local friends don't call me "AKB", but "Akimoto Sayaka".
I tried to separate them.
Yes.
I see.
Now, let's move on to the next topic.
Do you like yourself?
We'd like you to answer this question.
Do you like yourself?
If you like it, please remove it.
I don't like it that much.
People who like themselves and people who hate themselves are almost half and half.
How does one see themselves in the eyes of girls?
First of all, you like yourself.
Yes.
I have a complex and I hate myself.
Especially when I start this job, I have to understand myself first.
Otherwise, I'll be anxious and not confident.
I have to believe in myself first.
I think I can't do this job.
I think it's important to like yourself from there.
How about you, Takasa?
To be honest, I don't like myself.
Even if I like myself too much, I can't look at myself again.
I don't like myself.
I think the opposite of "like" is "ignorance".
As long as I'm not indifferent to myself, I think I like 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 they like themselves and want to know more about themselves.
That's why I like myself.
I want to know more about myself. That's why I have high self-esteem.
I can discover many things about myself.
That's why I like myself and I think I have to like myself.
Isn't that self-satisfaction in the end?
That's not what I think.
Parents don't have confidence in themselves.
Anyone can see you're fat, you're not cute, you don't look good.
If you have all those things, you'll like yourself.
What do you like about yourself?
I don't like myself whether I like it or not.
No matter how much I try to lose weight, I can't.
Even if I try to be cute, I'm bad from the beginning.
I think you should give it a try.
What would you have done if you had given it a try?
I'm living for it now.
A member of akb48, Matsui, who is also a graduate student, will talk about it.
Akb48 is getting a lot of attention now.
There are many people who don't know me even if they meet me for the first time today.
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 a student.
But I want to do it in the entertainment world.
I'm on a big ship now.
I know I can't do anything if I go out alone.
If I don't do it in the entertainment world, I don't think there will be anyone who knows me.
Matsui, who spoke passionately about the importance of making an effort to like herself.
However!
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's 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?
That's what I think!
How about you, Arai-san? About Nobuo's opinion...
It's true that if you lose weight, you may look cute.
People say a lot of things like that.
Even if you're on a 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 back at it like this, everyone's losing weight!
But everyone's trying!
We're trying!
We don't eat sweets!
But that's AKB!
As an AKB member with no title whatsoever, what does that mean for you?
It's like a Nobu-Eco store.
That's not all it's painful about. It's painful to live too.
There's not a lot of pain.
For example, you say you want to be a talent and you come in, but if you ask if you can eat it, you can't eat it at all.
Even if you say you only have a part-time job, you've never given out tissues because you're sweaty, right?
Right now, there's a lot of people living under their parents, right?
They come out of Osaka, one of them gets kicked out, one of them has to live alone, pay for the heat, pay for everything.
Even though you're struggling with that, why are you still on a diet? It's painful.
But if you say you can do what you like as a job and you can live off of it...
I'll say it again, the more you eat, the more you get.
She's very honest.
I'm not being honest. There's a lot of painful things.
I've been called ugly a lot.
But you're cute!
If she's ugly, what am I supposed to be?
In the meantime, what are you supposed to do?
You're supposed to say you're cute.
I really like Nobu-E-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 it all for themselves.
I really like people who can say it like that.
I really like your voice, too. It's kind of husky.
She praised you.
She praised you and now you're smiling.
She praised you!
In the end, you want to be praised, right?
No! I'm happy when I'm praised for what I like.
I don't have that kind of experience of wanting to be hugged by a man.
I've been saying it for a while now...
We all work hard for it.
We've been fat in the past and we've had various complexes, but we've overcome them and we're here now.
It's not like we're not doing anything.
I think it's wrong to just complain like that.
We don't have much time left.
Lastly, Nobu-E-san, please give Kojima-san some advice.
Now that I've talked about it, I think I'm going to like myself a lot in the end.
After this, new song will be revealed at NOSE LEAVES!
On April 6th, AKB48's new album will be released!
Heavy Rotation, Beginner, etc. Not only the big hit No. 1, but also new songs will be recorded a lot!
Details will be released later! Look forward to it!
For me, that's one answer. I want to protect you forever.
Today's release, NOSE LEAVES! 2011's No. 1 single, "ANSWER"!
As a popular anime's ending theme, it's an upper- tune made with sad male eyes!
Just being close to you makes my heart ache
What is it that makes me feel this way?
I can't express it with words
This kind of passionate feeling is a first for me
But you don't know
The wind is just blowing
If there is love for someday
Until that day comes, it's fine like this
Your heart
was taught to me now
Without knowing anything, I just want to smile
You're welcome!
Next week, we're playing a time pressure game!
The members are getting fired up over and over again!
Who's been cornered?
Kono...
Kikono...
Hoshi...
Minerva...
I'm sorry!
