AISubs v3.5
Tonight's show is ARIOS AKB Republic!
Well, this may be sudden, but...
May 31st is ARIOS' birthday!
Happy birthday!
Thank you!
So, we'd like to hold ARIOS Birthday Party at ARIOS Republic.
I'm so happy! Thank you so much for every year!
For the past few months, I've been thinking about how to make ARIOS-san happy.
You look like you haven't slept enough.
Now that you mention it...
That's why you have a swollen face.
Thinking about it while having a swollen face, I've prepared the best present for you.
What is it?
The present for ARIOS-san is...
I'm going to re-edit and broadcast my past appearances on VTR!
What is it?
In other words, ARIOS-san...
You're taking a day off from recording!
Hooray!
That's the happiest thing you've done for me.
Thank you. That's the happiest thing I've done for you.
I've never seen you react like that.
In order to give President ARIOSI a day off,
this week, while borrowing footage from an information show that Kojima Haruna appeared in,
we'd like to look back on her actions.
The first step...
The Pacific Talent Maker!
Based on Kojima Haruna's life records up until now,
we'd like to look back on her turning points.
Thank you!
Okay, let's go!
First, 1988!
Ta-da!
April 19th. Born with about 3,000 grams!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
I enjoyed it!
1988.
Kojima Haruna was born into this world.
When she was 0 years old, she already won "Best Smile Award".
What was your name originally?
My father came up with it.
"Like the sun"...
Um...
What was it?
Huh?
You forgot your name?
What was it?
It's been a while since I said my name, so I don't know.
I didn't say my name in elementary school classes.
I've said my name before, too!
Since then, I've forgotten my name.
Haruna's name contains a wish for her to grow up bright and healthy like the sun.
Kojima-san, don't forget it!
Your father came up with it.
What were your parents like?
What kind of person was your father?
He was just a normal person.
He didn't say anything.
But my father likes pretty girls.
When I was little, I was told to be like this.
In Sailor Moon, I was told to be like Rei-chan.
The black-haired beauty?
Yes, with slender legs.
Even in AKB, I like former AKB members Kawasaki Nobumi- chan and Alex-san.
You're his wife, right?
Yes, I like them.
I'm often told that I like this kind of thing.
Is that so?
What kind of person is your mother like?
My mother...
What should I say...
She's a bit of a slacker.
But I really like her.
There was an adult group called SDN48 before.
At the time, I was thinking of taking an audition.
She really told me not to.
I stopped it, but I still want to do it.
Does your mother watch your activities?
I think she does.
She doesn't talk much.
Oh, really?
Does she say "thank goodness"?
Does she say "thank you"?
She doesn't say anything in particular.
She's never said anything to me.
Oh, so your mother is also a bit of a slacker?
Yes, she is.
I see.
Like she's floating off the ground?
Is that so?
She's like that, isn't she?
Yes.
I see.
Haruna grew up with love from her parents.
In kindergarten, she became a princess herself.
Ever since I was little, I've liked singing and dressing up.
I've always had that old ramune-like microphone in my hand.
Oh, I see!
And as she continued to love singing and dressing up,
she grew up into an elementary school student.
In your class, what kind of girl were you?
I was pretty "me-ha" and I was so "me-ha" that even boys were attracted to me.
I loved watching TV, I loved celebrities, TV shows and idols.
But according to my own data, you said you were the hottest girl of your life at that time.
That's what I felt.
Oh, really?
But when you're an elementary school student, you don't really confess your love, do you?
But just like every day, you like someone else.
That's what happened every day.
Wow! And you're still in a different class of boys and girls.
Yeah.
You're really popular, aren't you?
Yeah!
I didn't know much about it at the time.
So that was the peak of your popularity?
It was the peak of my life.
Isn't it now?
It ended when I was in elementary school.
When she was at her peak of popularity in life,
Haruna's longing for idols was getting stronger and stronger every day.
Ever since I was in elementary school,
I started going to a dance school.
I wanted to be in an idol group or something like that.
So you went to school and then to lessons.
That's right. It was like learning a new skill.
I went to a dance school.
But I didn't like dancing at the time.
Now there are hip-hop school for kids,
but there wasn't one at the time.
Everyone around me was dancing among adults,
so I really didn't like it.
I didn't want to go.
And in 2005,
she passed the audition for the opening member of
AKB48, who changed their fate.
2005 is already...
Yeah, it's been ten years, so it's been ten years.
That's right.
It's gone by so quickly.
It's gone by so quickly that I don't remember it at all.
You don't remember?
It's gone by so quickly.
There were so many things.
Oh, I see.
Here's the information you have.
Among the 7,924 applicants...
Were there that many?
You didn't know?
I didn't know.
There really weren't that many?
Yes.
Among them, you were chosen by 24 people.
That's right. The first member was 24 people.
You were rejected by a tremendous number of people.
Were there that many?
The first poster of the crowd was very suspicious.
AKB's...
AKIHABARA48 guidance...
Only AKIMOTSU's photo is posted...
I don't know what shape it is.
You know now, don't you? AKB48 audition...
"What is this?" It was like a poster.
Were there that many people?
It seems like there were.
When Kojima-san opened it...
I got the picture he sent me this time.
Here it is!
Ta-da!
"JK".
No, it's not "JK".
I don't know what "JK" means.
What's this?
Is it a chameleon?
Yes, it is.
AKB's audition...
I was able to apply for it with a picture I took with my cell phone.
I was confident that I could be seen with a chameleon.
When I was a high school student.
So, it's not sarcasm, but...
I sent it with such a light feeling.
You were sent with a very fluffy state of mind.
That's right.
I didn't think about it at all.
I see.
So, you didn't think you'd pass?
I didn't think about it at all. And after that, I had an audition, but I didn't think about it at all.
I see. What did you do for the audition?
I sang a song in front of Akimotsu.
I'm Haruna Kojima. I'm 17 years old. Nice to meet you.
Here is the precious audition video that she received with a light heart.
Haruna Kojima
Kojima Kojima
It's a national idol group now, but wasn't it hard at first?
It was really hard.
It was hard to get along with school.
I went to school and lessons every day.
Even after the theater opened,
but the audience was like seven people.
If my favorite girl goes this way, the audience will go this way, too.
It was like that. It was a strange feeling.
The theater and the stage are wide like this, but there are flower paths.
Even if you go towards the flower path and wave your hand like this, there are no people.
So I did three performances a day.
It was pretty hard.
Four years ago, I searched for a video of Kojima Haruna closely interviewing on this show.
Good morning!
Kojima had a cute smile on his face.
And...
It's nostalgic.
He joined AKB48 at the age of 17.
What we were waiting for was a tough lesson every day.
Even if we performed in the theater, the number of audience was less than that of the members.
It was my friends who supported me through such hard days, who spent a lot of time with me and grew up with me.
And when she started out as an a.k.a.b., Kojima was making a legend at school.
"The Pink Sneaker Legend"!
- Yes. - This is it, right?
- Yes. - When you were in high school, you had to wear white shoes, but since you were wearing pink sneakers, you didn't get a single one.
- That's right. - So, is this true?
- It's true. - What?!
When I started out as an a.k.a.b., it was hard for me to go to school, and it was hard for me to drop out of school.
- That's right. - So, I had to go to school several times, and on the last day of school, if I didn't go to school, I would drop out of school.
So, on the last day of school, I went to school wearing pink sneakers, and it didn't work out.
- They didn't let me in. - But you were originally supposed to wear white, right?
Yes. Did I forget about it back then?
Even if I said it, it was a class that required me to wear white.
So, even if I said it, I felt like it would be okay, but it was strict and it didn't work out.
What?! So, what did you say to your teacher?
I said, "It's really not okay," and I was pulled out of school, so I went home.
- Oh! What about "Iiwake Baby"? - I didn't do "Iiwake Baby".
- You didn't do "Iiwake Baby"? - No.
- I see! - Yes.
- Well, you've left quite a legend behind. - Yes.
While making such a legend at school, they finally made their major debut in 2006!
In addition, with Minami Takahashi and Minami Minegi, "Crescendo of Love" was performed, and it caught the eye of Yasushi Akimoto.
In 2008, they made their debut as "No Sleeves".
In 2009, Kojima took back a dream he'd been dreaming of since he was little.
I was able to win first place for the first time in Oricon, and I was a little relieved.
In his 14th single, "river", he won first place for the first time in Oricon.
Since then, AKB has continued to win first place and made its popularity real.
In addition, Kojima was used as an exclusive model for "beauty magazine" "macchia".
Meanwhile, in 2012, Kojima achieved his third turning point.
It was winning first place for "beauty magazine" "macchia".
Is this it?
Of course!
First place for "beauty magazine" "macchia"
I was born and auditioned for "beauty magazine" "macchia"
Next up is "beauty magazine" "macchia"
Of course!
This is wonderful!
"macchia" was chosen by "ahan" magazine.
I wasn't chosen by a woman, and I was very happy about it.
Since 2012, I've been able to work as a woman magazine.
It may be a turning point for me.
I'm sorry to ask you a sexual harassment question, but...
If you were to compare your chest to a fruit, what would it be like?
A fruit?
A pear-shaped one?
A mango-shaped one?
There are many kinds of people.
If you were to compare your breasts to fruits, what would they be like?
I'm sorry, but I don't want to know either.
Fruits?
If you were to compare your breasts to fruits, what would they be like?
Fruits?
From a diamond cup...
to an excellent cup!
My breasts look like this.
Here you go.
Ta-dah!
They're not that big!
Even here today, Kojima has repeatedly used her breasts as a topic.
If you were to compare your breasts to fruits, what would they be like?
Cherry blossoms.
Cherry blossoms?!
I didn't expect that.
I love cherry blossoms.
- Because you like them? - Yes.
- Cherry blossoms. - If it were cherry blossoms...
- And now... - Yes.
The ideal breast shines brightly...
and continues into 2015.
Ta-dah!
The ideal breast shines brightly...
and continues into 2015.
Ta-dah!
You'll find out that your buttocks were thick!
What?! How many times?!
You look like Jenny!
Jenny?! No way!
- No way! - Yes!
Like gelatin!
It's fluffy!
Until now, we've seen a lot of people talking about her butt.
But in this photo book, we can see it clearly!
- The back of her butt is very attractive. - Yes, it is.
- I thought a lot about it. - You did, didn't you? - Yes.
- Is it okay? - Yes, it is.
- Please do. - Thank you.
I got it!
Sexy!
- It's so pretty. - It's so pretty, isn't it?
- I thought a lot about it.
It seems like the back theme of this photo book is "butt".
- I didn't know about it at all. - What?
- You didn't know about it? - No, we didn't have a meeting about it.
I went to LA, but I didn't know about taking a photo book.
- What? - I didn't do any fitting or anything like that.
I went there, and there were a lot of costumes.
- It was a small area. - Yes.
I found out about "butt" there.
- What? It's like a prank, isn't it? - Yes, it is.
- Didn't you get angry at that time? - No, I didn't.
- I thought it can't be helped. - That's wonderful.
You have a broad mind.
Do you have any favorite photos of yourself?
There are a lot of situations.
I took photos in LA and Tokyo.
I like the one in Tokyo.
- It starts with the door. - Oh!
It's a documentary, "23:07".
The door opens, and the hotel is a secret floor.
- It's a story. - Yes.
- It's getting more and more dramatic. - Yes, it is.
I like this one in Tokyo.
It's different from usual, and I like it.
- It's very adult-like. - Yes.
But we also have fashion that girls can see.
We also have gravure for girls.
We made it so that both men and women can see it.
I hope a lot of people can see it.
- I have a favor to ask you. - Yes.
What will you do?
Valuable videos are abundant!
The official iPhone app for this week is...
Hey, hey, look at me!
I love you!
The last song is a summer song that will make you feel cool in the upcoming hot summer.
Please listen to "Summer Side"!
"Summer Side" is a song about a girl who fell in love with a man she met for the first time in high school.
This year, more than friends, what should we talk about?
Romance is sometimes too sweet and weak to turn around.
What's going to happen?
I'm so excited!
My heart is beating so fast!
Ah, I'm having so much fun!
Oh, summer sky!
The sunshine is getting stronger.
That's what I hear in summer.
Ah, I'm having so much fun!
