Who is the best singer in AKB?
The final round of singing ability No. 1 deciding round!
This program was brought to you by these sponsors.
Thank you!
I'm glad about this program.
"DIVA-chan" is...
...a competition where members will sing their own songs.
It's a tournament for first-generation divas!
These three will be the judges!
Judges, if you think you're good at singing, please press "like".
If you think you're not good at singing, please press "no" and evaluate.
And finally, the members who will advance to the semi- final will be decided!
The first group is...
Yamauchi Suzuran and...
...Nakamura Mariko!
Yamauchi Suzuran and...
...Nakamura Mariko advance to the final!
Now, the second group of the semi-final is...
...the battle of these two, who are said to be the winner candidates!
Now, it's a battle between Masuda and Iwasa!
Wow, it's weird to say it's a final match.
This is a bit of a waste of a battle, but...
I see, how is it?
Both of you have yourselves, don't you?
So... how would you say it?
I want to hear it.
You want to hear it? I see.
Now, let's announce the songs they will sing first.
First of all, Masuda, what will you sing?
Yes, I will sing Ayaka-san's "I Believe".
This song...
When I joined AKB, I had a lot of worries and cried a lot, but...
Believing in my own path and going through it is important to me.
It's a song that filled my AKB life.
It's heavy.
Now, Iwasa, what will you sing?
I will sing Ai-san's "Story".
This is good, too!
Wow, it's amazing!
This is good, too!
What is it? It's a waste of time!
Why do you sing this song?
Because it's good, right?
That's right, but...
In karaoke, I sang a lot of J-pop songs, too.
So you can see a little different Iwasa, right?
That's right.
Yes.
Masuda Yuka's "I Believe".
Hidden in my heart is a whirlpool of anxiety.
Which path should I take?
I believe myself.
I feel like everything begins with believing.
I believe myself.
The warm light isn't wrong.
Let's walk forward.
I believe.
I wonder how much I can do in the time I've been left behind
The reason I can laugh now is because you cried with me
Because you're not alone, because you protect me
I can become stronger, I'm not afraid of anything anymore
As time goes by, along with the pain
The light of fire will gently shine on me
It was a good song.
Shibata also listened to it a lot.
On the contrary.
I listen to it all by myself with my eyes closed.
I see.
Let's ask the judge.
Iwasa, how was it?
Well...
It was a good battle.
Just like Masuda,
vibrato is made of waveforms, right?
But the waveforms there are very comfortable.
Even Ami's "getting sleepy" just now...
I think it's not a lie in a way.
Iwasa has a good vocalization.
It's not tight.
That's why you know you're getting sleepy.
It's a voice that wraps you up.
In other words, it feels good in your ears.
That's a weapon.
But, you know, there's a little bit of vibrato.
It comes out from time to time, right?
I didn't know that.
It comes out.
It came out about twice.
I saw it all through.
Will Masuda win?
Or Iwasa?
Iwasa! Iwasa!
Masuda!
Iwasa wins!
Amazing!
It's a big deal, Masuda.
It's wonderful.
Yes.
I think it's good to have fun in a song.
I see.
You're serious, right?
There's no gap we can't go in.
This time, just by having the technique,
both of you did it first and got praised.
After hearing that,
Iwasa sang under a lot of pressure, I think.
I see.
If you do it like that...
I see.
The one who won the fierce battle is Iwasa, who has been performing solo debut for years.
Now, who will advance to the final?
The final battle is Oya vs Takeuchi!
Yes!
Please announce the song you will be singing first!
Dreamin' Comes True's "Mirai yo Souzu II"
Wow! What a song!
Don't say "kyaaan"! Don't say "kyaan"!
Is it like a memory?
It's a song I really like!
I see.
What will you be singing, Takeuchi?
I will be singing Nakamori Akina's "Kazani Ja Nainayo Namida"
You weren't even born yet!
When I was little, Santa gave me this karaoke...
You're Santa's mother, right?
That's right.
While I was singing it, I fell in love with it and decided to sing it.
I see.
Oya Shizuka's "Mirai yo Souzu II"!
Mirai yo Souzu II
It's finally coming true
I'm sorry!
Why are you apologizing?
I couldn't get in.
So, how about you, Hirao-san?
It's difficult.
First of all, I feel like the song selection is different.
I think it's good when you say "I'm going to sing" to a friend.
I think it's difficult to sing in a place like this.
This song is difficult.
You've become too good of a boy today.
I've become too good of a boy?
You should value your previous character.
What do you say, Aoya?
Yes, sir!
You're young, aren't you?
Takeuchi Miyu's "Kazari Ja Nai No Yo! Namida Wa Desu!"
I've never cried
At the corner of the city where the lights went out
Even if I was in a fast car
Even if I was suddenly run over
I wasn't afraid
I saw my red skirt swaying with a strange feeling
But I felt it wasn't right for me to cry
I'm not crazy, I'm not crying
I'm telling you I like you
I don't believe it, I'm not crying
It's okay if it's beautiful
But my tears are a little too sad
You sang it all out!
How was it, Takahashi-san?
I think it was a little difficult.
Personally, I was looking forward to it.
It's a little difficult. Why did you choose this song?
Usually, when I go to karaoke and sing, I think a low pitch is perfect.
I see. I think that's what's good about it.
That pitch, that tone.
I see, the voice.
If you have a low pitch, middle pitch, and high pitch in your voice, you have to be able to use them all.
This girl's first pitch is pretty low, right?
Her voice is thick.
You're a good partner.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Will the king or Takeuchi win?
Takeuchi, Takeuchi, Takeuchi, Takeuchi won!
Takeuchi did it!
Thank you!
You did it!
It's a final!
I thought I couldn't do it.
Didn't I say it already?
With that said, the finalists have finally been decided!
Those three are...
Team Four's 18-year-old Mariko Nakamura!
She sang "Ikimonogakari", Ayaka's famous song, softly!
AKB's only female group to debut with that song,
17-year-old Misaki Iwasa!
Not only female groups, but even J-pop has demonstrated that singing ability!
The youngest contestant this time,
16-year-old Takeuchi Miyu!
The judges are also shocked by her usual singing style!
The battle for pride has finally been decided!
Let's start with the three of you!
Nakamura, what do you think?
On behalf of Team Four, I'd like to win!
Thank you!
Iwasa?
I've come this far.
I want to win and lose.
I'll do my best!
Takeuchi, what about you?
I want to relax and have fun singing!
Yes, understood!
The battle song that these three have chosen is...
Nakamura Mariko sang "Candies"'s "Spring Ichiban"!
Iwasa Misaki sang Matsuda Seiko's "Red Sweet Pea" as a big fan!
Takeuchi Miyu sang Angela Aki's famous song "Sakurairo"!
Who will win the first prize?!
Mariko Nakamura is in first place with "Haru Ichiban"!
Snow melts and turns into a river and flows away
A beautiful girl is embarrassed and shows her face
It's almost spring, won't you take it easy for a bit?
We said goodbye last year, didn't we?
Won't you forget that you're an adult now?
It's almost spring, won't you take it easy for a bit?
Won't you forget that you're an adult now?
It's almost spring, won't you take it easy for a bit?
Won't you take it easy for a bit?
I'll sneak up on your cigarette-smelling shirt
Even if it's been half a year since we first met
I won't hold your hand
I will follow you
I want to follow you
I will follow you
I may be a little weak-spirited, but you're a wonderful person
The buds of spring in my heart are red sweet peas
Even if it's been half a year since we first met
I won't hold your hand
The buds of spring in my heart are red sweet peas
Even if it's been half a year since we first met
We walked together
along the cherry blossom trees
as we lived our lives
In the flow of time and in the gap of love
I fell in love with you and lost you
When I close my eyes because I miss you
I see you and me from back then
I will never forget you, the color of cherry blossoms
Forever and ever and ever
The song is here!
How do you feel, Murao Mochi?
The three of you have new faces.
It's a project that I'm glad any of you chose.
I see.
Now, Yuas-san.
Of course it's something I can say to you three, but...
Takeuchi's voice is quite dark now.
Farset also worked hard.
I'm glad.
Thank you.
Hirao-san.
I think you've grown a little taller.
This song is difficult.
So I think you should sing more relaxed songs.
You have something very good.
I love syncopation and stuff like that.
Thank you.
Especially for the last three.
What do you all have?
Thank you.
You're great.
Who is the best singer in AKB?
What do you mean?
The judges will have a special room to judge.
I knew it.
It's no ordinary song.
It's amazing.
I'm surprised.
Finally, the first Diva will be released!
Diva's third single, "Lost The Way", will be released today!
Please check out the new Diva with ten members!
On March 11th, AKB48 Theater held the Great East Japan Earthquake Reconstruction Support Special Performance "For Someone".
Tonight, we will send you the song with the wishes of the members.
From the day I was born until today, I've been giving love with my heart.
That warmth like the sunshine was gently wrapped around me.
People live for someone else.
What can I do for you?
After this, the first-generation diva will be decided!
Now, the final screening has ended!
Diva-chan's first-generation diva is written in this envelope!
Now, let's open this envelope!
Who is...
...the first-generation diva?!
Who is the best singer in the first episode of "AKB"?
Diva-chan's first-generation diva is...
...Misaki Iwasa!
Thank you!
The winner, Misaki Iwasa, will receive a trophy from the judge's office!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Now, Iwasa!
Yes!
How do you feel now?
I'm really happy!
I'm going to talk about this at home!
I'm going to have a building festival at home!
Yes!
How was it, Iwasa?
I was surprised!
To be honest...
...I wasn't sure if I could do it.
Even in the first round, I felt like I wanted to drop it.
I was surprised and moved by the power of AKB!
Iwasa!
You two were really good, so we had a lot of trouble.
In many ways, you are natural.
This is good.
I had a brain like you, so I got up at that time.
But you showed me a completely different side of you.
I think you have the talent to be able to act.
I see!
So, keep up the good work!
Keep up the good work!
I will do my best!
The first diva to shine was Misaki Iwasa!
