Thank you for coming to the AKB48 Theater's 17th Anniversary Special Commemoration Performance.
Before we begin, we have a few requests for you.
While performing, if you have no choice but to stand on a chair or stand in a row during the performance, it will be dangerous and it will be a nuisance for other audiences, so please do not do it.
Recording devices and recording devices are prohibited. If you have them, please leave them with the audience.
Also, please make your mobile phones a manner mode.
The theater is closed.
For the sake of today's performance, we will cancel the emergency lights in the audience seats.
At the time of the disaster, the store and the audience will guide you, but please check the entrance in advance.
For those who have been affected by natural disasters all over Japan, we humbly say hello.
Regarding the occurrence of a new coronavirus infection in Japan, we ask for your understanding and cooperation in preventing infection, such as wearing masks and washing hands.
If you are in a bad mood in the venue, please do not overdo it and please tell the nearby staff quickly.
Everyone, please get excited and cheer up with us today.
Everyone, congratulations on the 17th anniversary of AKB48!
Thank you!
Today is a special day for AKB48, which celebrates the anniversary once a year.
Thank you very much for coming to the theater on December 8th.
This year, unlike previous anniversaries,
I think you will be able to see various aspects of the members, such as new projects.
Today is the 18th anniversary of AKB48.
I hope you will support AKB48 more and more.
Let's celebrate the 17th anniversary of AKB48 together!
The theater will open soon. Please wait a little longer!
This has been Miyon Kotomu and Michi Miyon!
A.K.A.B48!
A...B...48!
Even if you're invited on a date and you're excited
For some reason, you end up smiling
I'm sorry for saying such things
Because I don't want them
It's not about whether you like it or not
[music playing]
Let me open up a new world while I'm at it!
Even if I lose everything and go towards you,
I will surely be proud of you.
Even if the wind stops blowing and the wind disappears,
just like you're breathing,
even if today and tomorrow are painful days,
I tried to call out to myself reflected in the mirror, but I couldn't get anything back.
Sometimes, sometimes, I wonder when I'll be able to dream again.
Are you ready?
I just jumped out of nowhere
No matter where I stumble, I'll get up again
How much courage do you have?
I don't have any more
Step up! Get your gear on! Step up! You can say "Crazy! Crazy!"
I couldn't invite you once in a while when it was over.
I heard you were busy, so I tried hard and hesitated.

ANGEL
If you're there, let me know!
Suddenly I was alone
What happened at tonight's party?
Angie, at the park nearby
Angie, what are you staring at?
Did you miss me?
I just happened to be there
I didn't know it would turn out like this
Oh oh oh oh ah
I want you to dance with me now
Get on top of the beat
Hey, I'm the only one who's failing
Happy doesn't suit me
Yeah, yeah, no matter how many times we kiss
I feel like I'm the best
Kiss me when you can
So light me up forever
Now let's have fun dancing and riding on the waves of the super beat
Which one of us will win? I love you
I'm making mistakes and making mistakes, only happy doesn't stop
I want to cry, I want to kiss you, I feel great
Don't worry about the people around you, look at the world
I want you to stay here
Don't go anywhere
After class was over, I suddenly asked you for a favor, and then, without saying anything, we clashed and were eliminated three times in a row.
I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble.
Can I take off my mask?
That's my signal, let's do it together!
Happy Dance, Happy Dance, let's take it on!
Happy, Happy Birthday!
(Birthday June!)
(Happy happy birthday!)
17th Anniversary! Happy Birthday!
Thank you for watching till the end!

The truth will surely pass by.

When I find something happy, I want to share it with you.
Ah, we're getting closer.

A.K.B 48 Powered! Member of the Year!
Today's performers are...
Chiyori Takanishi...
Sumion Mukai...
Nobuto Mogishi...
Kinagai Kitawari...
and Yuki Kashiwagi!
Thank you for joining us!
A.K.B 48 Theater's 17th Special Anniversary Performance!
This year, A.K.B 48 Powered! Member of the Year!
Members will select the members...
who they think will shine brighter this year!
This year, there are 12 awards in total.
We will announce the top 3 awards today.
By the way, these 5 people are nominated for "Best MC" award.
Thank you very much.
I'm happy, but I think you're all nervous because the top 3 awards will be decided from now on.
How do you feel?
But I think this award is the biggest award.
That's right!
"MC" award.
So you're happy that you've been nominated for it, right?
Yes, that's right.
Is this one higher than "MVP"?
I don't think so.
But you want to be proud of this award, right?
Yes, we do.
And the members don't know who the best award is for any award.
That's right!
Seriously, right now.
I'm giving out my script right now, so I'm not sure if I can read it.
I read it a little while ago, but it was all covered up.
They didn't tell me at all!
Even when I asked my manager, he said, "I don't know."
I messed up.
So you don't know anything.
You don't know, but the best award also has a prize prepared for you!
For each award?
For "Best MC" award?
Yes, and for each award.
They give you different prizes.
I'm really looking forward to it.
There are 12 categories in total.
So let's go with the first award.
Are you okay?
It's not a bug, is it?
It means you want to know more and more, right?
Everyone wants to know more and more, right?
I want to know more and more!
Kaori, you haven't said a word yet!
I'm sorry, Kaori!
Kaori, are you okay?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Thank you!
Let's go!
I'd like to announce the first award, "Best Rookie" award.
17 researchers were nominated.
First of all, we would like you to see the performance of the nominees.
Here you go!
It's been a while since I last went shopping, and now there's a shopping mall here.
The season changes anytime.
Even now, you're my number one graduation album.
17-year-olds, thank you so much!
Thank you!
That was cute.
Now, I'd like to announce the best album.
Before that, we did a survey for all 82 members.
I'd like to introduce some of the reasons.
First of all, Hinana Shimoguchi chose
Mizushima Miyu chose it.
The reason is...
It's hard to choose just one.
I cried when I saw Genepuro at the Research Institute Park.
Mizumin's "kikyo" was one of the reasons.
Next, Yamabe Ayu chose
Masai Mayu chose it.
Of course, I'd like to choose all of you,
but I thought I'd learn how to dance faster through the concert,
so I chose Masaru.
Thank you!
Next, Ishiwata Sena chose
Hirata Yuki-chan chose it.
In a good way, it's not like AKB.
It's very stylish from the atmosphere,
and Instagram posts like models.
I personally think it's a new wind.
I'm happy that you're thinking like this
from the senior members like this.
In addition, many members have given the names of various research students in this,
but this time, only one person could vote for only one vote.
How was it? Was it hard for you to choose, Kaori- chan?
There are a lot of members, aren't there?
So I was very confused.
Were you really worried?
I was very worried.
But Kaori-chan also chose someone from among us.
Do you remember?
I remember.
I'm glad you didn't forget.
Yes.
Now, I'd like to announce the top prize of the first show.
Are you nervous?
Yes.
You look nervous.
Here we go. The best rookie of 2022 is...
Sato Airi!
Congratulations!
Sato Airi will receive an award and a trophy.
Thank you for your applause.
Airi, please tell us how you feel.
I'm very happy.
It's my 17th anniversary as a 17th grade student.
It's my responsibility to work harder and harder to win the Best Rookie award.
I'll do my best and aim for the top.
That's great. Thank you.
I'd like to introduce some of the surveys that selected Ai-chan.
Honda Hitomi-chan.
She joined the team and was selected at a fast pace.
Even in a situation where you can't tell right from left,
she practiced and worked hard a lot so that she could match up with the selected members.
Thank you.
And from Erina Oda, "It's not like she's a researcher, it's like she's a veteran who's already been there for Airi Sato."
That's amazing. Thank you.
And from Haruna Hashimoto, "When I took off my shoes at the Budokan Live performance, I couldn't help but spit it out in the middle of the choreography. I didn't think she was a newcomer."
Thank you. That was amazing.
Thank you. It's a legend.
And lastly, we have a message from Sato Kiara, who is a big sister of Airi Sato.
I've been watching you closely for a year, and when I look back, I think you've been doing your best in terms of performance, mental support, and motivation.
Even though you're a B-class friend.
Thank you for calling me a B-class friend.
She's watching you up close.
And this is amazing.
In addition, all but Airi Sato answered "Ai-chan" among the 17 researchers.
Thank you.
That's amazing. I think it's a best-lucky award that's well-received by everyone of the same generation.
Were you surprised?
Yes, I was surprised.
By the way, who did you vote for "Ai-chan"?
I voted for Mizushima Miyu-chan.
Thank you.
It's a bond.
By the way, as a reward, Ai-chan will receive a "freshness burger" gift card because she wants you to be "fresh" all the time.
Thank you. I'll eat a lot.
Yes, do your best to be "fresh".
Yes.
Yes, I think all of the other researchers did their best for a year and were shining.
That was the best-lucky award.
Next, we will announce the Best Entertainer Award.
The members who are good at dancing and expressing themselves will be selected.
First is the performance by the nominated members.
Here you go!
One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four...
I can't meet you anywhere in this city
Wait a minute, can I have a can of beer?
Now?
You can't meet you anywhere in this city
Wait a minute, can I have a can of beer?
I'm used to it, but who is it that I love?
I'll protect you from now on and forever
I promise you!
No matter what happens from now on,
I don't want that to happen
For me, it's something I'll never forget
I've always wanted to say this since a long time ago
It's something I'll never forget
I want to tell you my feelings, don't you?
I hope you'll remember
Please, I want you to keep smiling like that
Tell me how (Tell me how)
Do me now (Do me now)
This is a man's request
(Do me now)
Come on, promise me you'll run away
You're on your own
(You're on your own)
It's none of my business
It's not like that
I'm not afraid of you
Woo woo woo
I don't want to lose to any of you
If you were happy with anyone but me
Woo woo woo
I don't want you to leave me like that
Tell me how you feel now
I'm so confused
That's why, that's why, that's why
Wow!
Wonderful!
So cool!
As expected, it was a performance worthy of the Best Entertainment Award!
Congratulations!
Please go and get your microphones.
Microphones, right?
Yes!
Wow, I'm tired!
Wow, everyone, your energy is really being conveyed!
Wonderful!
Hama-chan, you're shaking! Are you okay?
Hama-chan?!
Are you okay?
Shaking...
I see you're working hard...
Now, I know you're out of breath, but first I'd like to introduce some of the results of the survey.
First of all, Na-chan's answer was "Hika-chan Sakagawa-chan".
The reason is...
"Her facial expressions were the best, especially when she sang "Sakura no Hanabira-tachi", a solo song,
"although she was just singing, her expressions and feelings were so full of emotion and it was really wonderful".
Wonderful!
Thank you!
Next, Honda Hitomi-chan and Yamada Kyoka-chan are voting.
Wow, Kyoka-chan!
"Even if you watch the whole dance in the video when you learn the choreography, you will definitely watch Hika-chan at least once".
Thank you!
Next, Kobayashi Ran-chan and Honda Hitomi-chan next to her are voting.
Wow!
I'm so happy!
They're also nominated members.
"Ran-chan's powerful dance always catches my eye.
"I can only dance my own position, but I was able to memorize all of Motokare-desu's positions for 20 people. I think it's really amazing".
Wonderful!
Thank you!
Next, Hama Sayuna-chan and Kurosu Haruka-chan are voting.
"When I saw Team K's unit end roll, I fell in love with the coolness of the dance.
"My expressions and gestures change depending on the song".
Hama-chan!
That's right!
Her face!
Well, that's right.
And Kashiwa Giyuki-san, Chiba Erii-chan is voting.
"It's been a while since I did a lip gloss music video, and when I did a solo cut, I could feel that I was having more fun than anyone else in the line-up, and I feel like I'm shining brighter than anyone else".
That's great.
If you're having fun, you wouldn't think you'd be included in a dance group like this.
It was hell. I'm happy. Thank you.
It was wonderful.
Next up is Kurano Narumi-chan.
Yes!
The nominee, Kobayashi Ran-chan, is voting.
Ran-chan!
Yes!
"Naru-san's dance has no habits and is beautiful. She always draws attention with her dynamic performance that she even uses her fingertips for".
That's what she said.
I'm happy!
Yes!
Thank you!
Next up is Murayama Yuiri-chan.
Okabe Rin-chan is voting.
"Yuiri-san's 'Even So, She Is' is already the best! The dance skills and high expressiveness that were built up during the theater performance and site performance are the treasures of the current AKB.
When I saw the rehearsal for the Budokan concert, I was mesmerized.
But it's a shame that she was wearing something I don't know about, like a lame potato suit".
Potato?
What's a potato suit?
I've only worn it for one day, but it's designed like a potato.
The dance was cool, but the clothes were disappointing.
I imagined a lion and put on a potato.
It's a shame.
The performance was wonderful, so it's a good thing.
Everyone, thank you for your hard work.
Now, I'd like to announce the best award in this category.
The best entertainer award for 2022 is...
Yuiri Murayama!
Congratulations!
Wow, it has your name on it!
Yuiri-chan will receive a commemorative trophy and an award for shining as an entertainer,
and you will also receive a musical stage touch-up pair ticket!
I want to go! Thank you!
Please learn!
Okay, then, Yuiri-chan, the best of the best,
Yes!
Please tell your feelings and enthusiasm for next year to your fans!
I really didn't think I would be chosen,
but when I'm on stage, it's the most fun,
so I'm not good at expressing myself with words,
but I'll do my best to make you enjoy me standing on stage and telling you my feelings!
Congratulations!
Please learn more on stage!
Yes!
Okay, then, that's it!
Best Entertainer Award winners, congratulations!
Congratulations!
Now, we will announce the Best On-Time Award!
Members who kept their meeting hours properly, such as performances and work, were chosen!
Wait, it's cute, it's cute!
First of all, it's a performance by the nominated members!
The song you will be performing is "First Love" at 7:12!
Here you go!
"First Love" at 7:12!
It's a train that you can't get close to later
"First Love" at 7:12!
I can't say anything but "I love you"
7 minutes and 12 seconds of first love
Ah, I can't get close to you
Ah...
I'm the only one who can't see it, it's getting smaller
Yay!
This was a performance by the nominees for "best on-time show"!
Thank you!
And now, the performance members, plus Naa-chan and Hii-chan, will be the nominees!
First, I'll introduce the results of the poll.
First, Okada Naa-chan and Shinozaki Ayanan are voting.
When I'm late, Naa-chan always gets mad at me. Sorry.
That's how mad she is.
That's how close we are.
As always.
Next, Honda Hii-chan.
You voted for yourself!
That's one way of doing it.
I'm the type of person who always has time to prepare, so I think I was able to stay on time.
That's right.
Thank you.
But if you're standing here, it doesn't mean you're my only vote, right?
That's right!
One vote doesn't mean you can stand here!
I'm glad you all voted for me.
Next, Yamachi Mizuki-chan.
Next to you is Yamabe Ayu-chan voting.
Thank you!
I try to get here 20-30 minutes before everyone else, but you're always so fast, and I always think we're the same in our hearts.
When I arrived at the fitting room 20 minutes before everyone else, we arrived at the same time.
- That's fast! - 20 minutes before?
It's okay to meet up at the same time!
- You're great. - You're great.
- It's not on-time. It's not the best on-time, it's a little early. - It's not an on-time show.
- It's not an on-time show, it's a dive... - Flying time!
Continuing, Ishiwata Sena-chan!
- No, Yamabe Ai-chan! - Okay!
Let's go!
Nagato Mayami-chan is voting.
All 16 of you arrive at the meeting place quite early, but Ayu-chan, even though you're a dive senior, you're always first.
- Wow! - That's fast.
- That's right. - I agree.
Continuing, Ishiwata Sena-chan!
- Yes! - Suzuki Kurumi-chan is voting.
When you're having a conversation, no matter how fast you arrive at the bus meeting time, you're always first.
- Everyone is like that. - Meeting time. - Meeting time. - You arrive early. - That's great.
- And Inagaki Kaori-chan! - Yes!
- Inagaki Kaori-chan is also voting for herself! - Oh!
- I'm sorry! - That's fine.
- I'll read the comments. - "I'm sorry for writing it myself!"
I'm always conscious of my early actions and this is only because I'm confident!
- Yes! - That's true.
- You're confident. - I am.
- You're fast. - You're fast, aren't you?
- And now, Hashimoto Eriko-chan! - Yes!
- She's voting for herself! - Wow!
- Everyone is confident of themselves. - Yes, everyone is confident of themselves.
- "I'm always confident of being first!" - Yes!
- So... - You're fast.
- Everyone is quite consistent.
- Now, I'd like to announce the best award of all!
- The best "on-time" award of 2022 is...
- Inagaki Kaori-chan! - Yay!
- Congratulations! - Thank you!
Kaori-chan, as a commemorative trophy and reward,
I'd like you to take your time and relax once in a while,
so I'll give you a JTV travel ticket!
- Yay! I'm happy! - Wow! It's suddenly luxurious!
- It's nice! - It's nice! - It's amazing, isn't it?
By the way, Kaori-chan,
the nominate members here, Zucchi and Senatan, are also voting for you.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
The nominate members who are said to be fast are voting for you, Kaori-chan,
- so you're a true champion! - Thank you!
Then, Kaori-chan, please say a word of appreciation and a word for your fans!
It's a little awkward for me to vote for myself,
but I'm happy! It's my first time receiving something like this,
so I'll do my best not to be late again!
- Congratulations! - Congratulations!
Now, with that,
- everyone at "Best on Time" show, congratulations! - Thank you!
- With that, next up is "Best SNS"... no, "Best SNS Show" announcement!
- Here, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Youtube, Showroom, etc.,
- We've chosen members who posted eye-catching posts and did interesting streams.
- Now, it's a performance by the nominated members!
- The song we'll be performing is "I Like It"!
- Here we go!
"I Like It" is a song featuring the band "#Robiti" and their new album "#Robiti Original" released in 2011. The song is about a girl who wants to be loved by her lover, but she can't because of her love for her lover.

I want to be that person.
That was the performance of the nominees for "Best SNS Award"!
Now, I'd like to introduce the results of the poll.
First, Kobayashi Ran-chan answered "Mutou Rin- chan".
The reason is...
Every time I appear in a music show...
I have to upload videos, rent a studio, prepare costumes, and edit...
I don't think it's something I can do alone, so I think it's really amazing!
Thank you!
Next up is Yamane Suzuha-san.
Satou Minamichi-san asked...
Chan-chan?
Chan-chan asked...
Since Zun-chan started putting her name in the photos of the nominees on Twitter...
My name has started showing up on official Twitter as well.
Your name...
That's great.
She said it's amazing that you're a candidate for Daimaru-san and that you're also working for her!
I'm happy! Thank you!
Next up is Fujizo Rei-chan.
Yes!
A researcher, Hotei Moka-chan, voted for you.
I thought it was amazing that you were popular on TikTok.
I thought it was wonderful that you had a sense of friendship.
Thank you!
Yes!
And for Kurosu Haruka-chan...
Macharin-san voted for you.
Her TikTok theme is...
AKB members and college students working and studying at the same time.
Her videos are really fun!
That's what she said.
I'm happy!
Thank you!
That's great.
I'm happy.
You all have such wonderful opinions.
Yes!
Thank you!
Yes!
And now...
I'd like to announce the Best Actress Award!
The Best Social Media Award for 2022 goes to...
YAMANE SUZUHA-CHAN
Congratulations!
I'm so happy!
Congratulations!
From Mogi-san!
Wow!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
It has your name on it.
Really?
It has my name engraved on it.
Wow!
Thank you!
YAMANE SUZUHA-CHAN will receive a commemorative trophy and instant camera as a reward!
Wow!
What's that?
A camera?
A camera!
Can I have it?
It's really good!
It's really good?
It's really good!
That's great!
Thank you!
SUZUHA-CHAN, please tell your gratitude and enthusiasm for next year to your fans!
My enthusiasm for next year?
Yes!
I received such a wonderful award like this.
I didn't think I worked hard to get something in return for this,
but I'm really happy to receive an award like this that leads me to work in the end.
Thank you!
Next year...
Next year, I'd like to become a person who will go out one day and work hard for my fans to support me!
Thank you!
That was wonderful!
That's it for today! Best Social Media Award winners, congratulations!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Keep up the good work!
It's here! It's here!
Everyone, thank you for waiting!
It's live!
Really, really, thank you for waiting!
Now, now, we've announced the top four awards, but next up is...
...the one with the most authority...
...the best MC award!
Of course, we are the nominees! Thank you!
Thank you!
Even though we are the MCs, of course we don't know who has won the best award!
That's right.
It's not written in the script, either.
First, I'd like to announce the results of the survey.
First, the one who answered "midday" for me is...
...Saito Haruna-chan!
I'm happy. The reason is...
...she's the best senpai who always cheers me up, whether it's in the park, when I'm recording a song show, or in the dressing room.
Heart!
She's getting emotional.
Heart.
It's a show recording, isn't it?
It's a song show, isn't it?
It's not a song show, it's a show recording.
Can you stop saying that?!
It's fine if it's a song show!
It's true that it's not, but...
I'm sorry, it looked a little different, didn't it?
Thank you very much.
For Mukaichi Mion-chan, Yumoto Ami-chan has voted for her!
As a director, as a representative of the group, she also hosts the show and is quick to change her mind.
Her way of speaking is also wonderful and I respect her.
Thank you very much.
She's very motivated.
For Mogi-chan, Kitazawa Saki-chan has voted for her!
"As long as Mogi-chan is there, I'm at ease!" That's all.
Wow! There's no specific example!
There's no specific example! "I'm at ease!"
"I'm at ease!" I'm very happy about that.
For Kaori-chan, Fukuoka Seina-chan has voted for her!
Thank you very much.
When she's there, it's so much fun and I always end up laughing!
I love that way of thinking!
Graduation! I'm so lonely!
Thank you very much!
She says she's lonely.
The bond between two people.
For Yukirin-san...
Yukirin-san, Okada Nana-chan has voted for her!
Ah! This is a singing show!
If you say so!
Ah, I'm sorry, it is a singing show.
You'll be teased and you'll get a backlash!
Thank you, young master!
She's being teased!
That's a wonderful saying.
Thank you.
So, how is it?
You'll be getting a lot of compliments from the younger audience.
That's right.
I used to think I was the worst at hosting, but now that I'm in the family, I get more offers and things like that.
I can't believe you're calling me by my name like this.
That's right.
I used to think I was the worst at hosting.
That's not true.
That's not true!
From the moment you were born, you're welcome here.
I don't think I'm the worst at hosting.
Ah, really?
Looking at you, you're like a member.
I think I'm the best host, but that's just my opinion.
Chiyori and Mogi-chan are being teased.
You're like Othello!
You're turning black from behind!
Thank you.
But this show is wonderful!
So, everyone...
Ah, you're finally here!
I'm nervous!
I'd like to announce the best host.
Members, are you ready?
Yes.
Now, the staff will give you envelopes.
The member whose name is written in the envelope will be the winner.
So, staff, please.
We don't sing or anything like that.
Just look at the envelope and do it.
It's new, so if you look at the envelope and write it down, you will be the winner.
You all have it, right?
Yes.
So, when the end roll is over...
End roll?
End roll...
Oh, it's a drum roll.
It's dangerous!
MC show?
Nice comment!
Oh, MC show!
Nice comment. Thank you very much.
When the drum roll is over, let's check what's inside.
Are you ready, everyone?
Yes.
So, here we go.
The best MC show of 2022 is...
I thought there would never be a time when I was in charge of MC.
Is it okay?
I forgot.
I have a lot of luggage.
Thank you for having a lot of luggage.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
It's amazing.
It really has your name on it.
Thank you very much.
I'm happy.
Thank you very much.
I'm happy.
Congratulations.
I'm sorry.
Do you want me to read it?
Is it okay?
As a reward for Chiyori, she always looked around and talked to us.
She made the talk more exciting.
So, I'll give you an eye patch that will heal your eyes.
I'm sorry.
It's not a whole body eye patch.
Just your eyes?
No, no.
I haven't used it in a while.
I've been using it a lot lately, but it's not a whole body eye patch.
It's just your eyes.
Thank you very much.
I'm happy.
Chiyori, please say a word of gratitude.
I think "Best MC Award" is one of the best awards.
I hope this award will make many people smile and happy.
I hope you'll continue to support us next year.
That's amazing.
Did you win an anime award?
Really?
I can't say it yet, but you won the best vocalist award.
Really?
Yes.
Today...
I'm glad!
At the end of the show...
Can I say it?
At the end of the show...
I'm glad!
Only the members who won the best vocalist award will sing a song.
But...
I wasn't told about it.
Chiyori said, "Everyone, please come out!"
If we didn't win the best vocalist award, Chiyori would be the only one singing.
But we won the best vocalist award!
So we'll sing until the end!
Congratulations!
Chiyori didn't have to sing!
You'll sing with everyone?
Yes!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
You're in a good position.
Yes!
Zero's third line!
I'm happy!
I'm happy you let me sing in the last line!
I'm happy!
Congratulations!
Congratulations, Chiyori!
Thank you!
That's all for the best vocalist award!
Thank you!
What's this?
Let's move on to the next show!
From now on, Kaori and I will do it together.
Next is...
The best dresser award announcement!
We've chosen seven members who are fashionable in their uniforms and dress.
From now on, each of you will appear in stylish uniforms.
This is a music video of a team member walking down a runway.
It's "Set Me Free".
Let's watch it!
Tonira No. 1, Okabe Rin.
The representative of the voters is Kawahara Misaki.
If I wear it, I'm definitely going to win.
It's amazing how she can pull off such cool clothes.
You're wearing really cool clothes again today.
Entry No. 2, Gouka Seina.
The representative of the voters is Imoguchi Hinana.
She often takes pictures of Seichan,
but she's good at wearing clothes that suit her.
I think she's more stylish than anyone else.
Seichan...
You used to be so lame back in the day,
but you've grown up to be chosen so often.
Entry No. 3, Honda Hitomi.
The representative of the voters is Hashimoto Eriko.
Her listening gear and lesson shoes are also very stylish.
I searched for shoes that I didn't know existed.
Wow, there's a TV here.
It's so dazzling.
Next up, Entry No. 4, Yumoto Ami.
The representative of the voters is Oda Erina.
Just like an Instagrammer,
she's always looking for pretty girls.
Oh my...
I'm getting hungry.
So cute!
Entry No. 5, Oguri Yui.
The representative of the voters is Nagano Serika.
Her daily clothes are always cute.
She always wears fashionable clothes.
You've become a lady now, Yui Yui.
Your style is nice too.
I envy you.
Entry no. 6, Yoshikawa Nanase.
She voted for Uemi Sora's fashion monster-like outfit.
Of course, it's stylish.
During lessons, she goes out right away.
Nanase-chan, where will you go for a drink tonight?
Entry no. 7, Hirata Yuki.
She voted for Azumi Katakiyama of the same period of time.
Not only does she dress up, but her lessons are stylish too.
Even if she wears ugly clothes, I think she can handle it.
She's so mature and stylish that I don't think she's a graduate student.
I envy you.
She's so stylish. I envy you.
Her pose is perfect too.
Thank you, everyone!
These seven people will be nominated for the Best Dresser award.
Let's hear their points about their clothes.
I'm curious about it.
Yumoto Ami-chan, you voted for me.
Can you tell me your points?
I tried to show my belly.
No way!
Sexy!
I also tried to raise my hair and pierce it.
You checked the overall balance.
I'm curious about you, Kaori-chan.
I'm Hirata Yuki-chan.
Even though you're a graduate student, you're so stylish.
Can you tell me how you choose your clothes?
Fashionable.
I read a lot of magazines and SNS about stylish people I want to refer to.
I try to imitate them.
You're so cute today, too!
Now, I'd like to announce the best show.
This time, I'd like to announce it from a special presenter.
Please take a look at this!
Here you go!
What is it?
Who is it?
Wow, it's a special performance.
Hello!
I'm Haruna Kojima, the presenter of the Best Dresser Show.
Kojima-san!
It's been a while.
Kojima-san!
Congratulations on your 17th anniversary of "Beauty for T".
Thank you!
When I was a member, fashion was still very important to me.
I was particular about my clothes and lessons and spent every day.
So, the best best dresser award for 2022 is...
Okabe Rin-chan!
Congratulations, Rin-chan!
The best dresser award goes to...
Ta-dah!
For 2022, we'll give you a set of beauty products like body cream, body balm, and UV serum.
I'm looking forward to it!
So, congratulations, Rin-chan!
This has been Haruna Kojima.
Bye-bye!
Wow!
Rin-chan!
Yay!
Wow!
So, the best best dresser award goes to...
Okabe Rin-chan!
Congratulations!
I'm so happy!
Yay!
Here's your trophy.
Please accept it.
Thank you!
I'm happy!
That's amazing!
And it was a message from Kojima Haruna of Oshimen.
How do you feel now?
I'm very happy.
I'm not in a good mood today, but I'm wearing a lot of holes in my clothes in lessons.
It's a rumor.
I feel like I can see it when I go around.
I'd like to buy a lot of holes in clothes in weird places in the future.
I'm happy! Thank you!
I'm wearing a lot of clothes that only Rin-chan can wear.
Are you messing with me?
No, I'm not!
I think only Rin-chan looks good in holes.
That's it for the Best Dresser Award. Congratulations!
Thank you!
Next is the Best Support Award announcement.
There were a lot of wonderful episodes, so I'll put the song "sasae" on top of it and announce it in the video.
Please take a look at this.
Thank you for watching.
We met only two years ago,
people who had the same dream as me.
Our age and the city we lived in
were different, seventeen people.
For the first time in months,
I felt lonely and couldn't talk to you.
We spent those tough lessons together,
and we realized...
My friends are always here for me.
I'm not alone.
We're looking at that star together.
We were supported by everyone.
My friends are always here for me.
I'm not alone.
We're looking at that star together.

Then, Sato Kiara-chan!

No, no!
It's a good thing that we are seniors!

Yes!
Researcher Masai Mayu-chan is voting!

It's the most important!
But I'm very happy!

Wow! A vote from me!
Was there no other vote?
I'm happy. Thank you very much.
The people around me are praying that you will answer with me.
Yes, that's right. I prayed and prayed for you.
Wow!
Parapara!
I was surprised myself, too.
Yes, next is Muto Rin-chan's answer is Iwatate Saho-san's answer.
Saho-san.
It's like a puppy. It's painful, but it's healing.
That's kind of you. Thank you very much.
I know. I know.
I'm glad it's not noisy and it's healing.
I'm relieved.
Yes, next is Himaguchi Hinana-san's answer is Himaguchi Hinana-san's answer.
Wow!
Hey! Don't say things like that!
Hey! I'm wearing it!
Make-san and the members sometimes tell me that it's quiet in the park where Hinana isn't there.
And there's a lot of time when I'm the only one talking in the dressing room.
Is this just because you're noisy?
Oh, you're asking me?
You're asking me?
You're asking me how it is?
I think so, too.
Oh, I see. Thank you for your opinion.
Yes, next is Tom-san's answer is Hamasa Yuna-san's answer.
She always talks to me politely and doesn't make me feel awkward when I'm in the dressing room of Kei Park.
She doesn't make you feel awkward.
That's good.
That's very important.
It's because you're shy.

Thank you very much.
She's very kind.
Thank you very much.
Next is Megu Taniguchi, who answers "Megu Taniguchi"!
What?
You're pretty good.
I named my club as "Team 4", and then other members made a similar team name, and the ringer's shout "the odds of me winning?" "the odds of me winning are higher" means that, doesn't it?
That's right.
That team name is like an acronym for AKB.
That's right. It's an acronym for AKB.
"Kura no Naru Naru Team Acronym".
I think it's amazing.
Please remember it, everyone.
Masai Mayu-chan is answered by Sato Airi-chan, who is also a researcher.
Mayu-chan's presence makes the room brighter and helps me speak during lessons and so on.
That's wonderful.
She's wonderful.
She's cool.
She's a good girl.
How do you like it, everyone?
How do you like it?
The three of you have your own opinions.
That's right.
Hinana ranks higher than the other two, so I think it's a good thing that she ranks higher.
That's right.
She's creating a good team atmosphere.
She is.
That's wonderful.
Thank you.

And there are two more categories left.
Two!
First of all, "Best Image Award".
In this year, members who you think have changed your image have been selected.
First of all, it is a performance by the nominated members.
The song they will perform is "Ribbon".
The air that starts to spill changes and the earth wakes up.
Somewhere, the night is over. The green is swayed by the wind.
On the first page, good night.
When the sun changes, everyone is reborn.
The dream we gave up on.
From the beginning again, let's take it back.
The stars shine.
On a pitch black night,
on the first page, good night.
The blue sky spreads out.
The stars shine.
Yay!
This performance was nominated for Best Image Award.
Thank you very much!
And the members who performed just now,
plus Honda Hitomi and Mogi Shinobu,
these seven members will be nominated.
Now, let me introduce the results of the survey.
Honda Hitomi is answered by Maho Oomori.
At first, I was a little nervous to talk about it,
but now I'm a senior who can talk to me about a lot of things like talking friendly,
telling me about good restaurants and so on.
So you've changed your image.
That's right.
It's like you've changed.
Rather than my appearance,
I had an image that was hard to approach at first.
I see. I thought it was your appearance.
It was unexpected.
Your appearance has changed a lot, hasn't it?
That's right.
Your hair color has changed as well.
I'm happy. Thank you very much.
And "Michieda Saki-chan" is answered by Yoshida Karen-chan.
Anyway, blonde hair looks good on you.
Right?
Huh? That's good.
Huh? Huh?
Huh? Blonde hair...
You've become past tense.
Yes, I've made it a little darker.
You've made it darker.
But I like it. It's really cute.
Oh, really?
Are you going to dye your hair blonde again?
I'm thinking about it.
Oh, you're thinking about it.
Yes.
But both of you looked great in blonde hair.
And "Yoshihashi Yuzuka-chan" is answered by the same nominee, Mogi Shinobu-san.
You've been cute before, but I think you've become especially beautiful recently.
Huh?
How is it?
I'm really happy.
I'm happy and proud that you've noticed my changes.
Thank you.
Next up is Hattori Yuna.
Her dark hair and blonde hair are very cute.
Thank you, Yuna.
Thank you.
Next up is Michieda Saki.
She used to be very kind and nice, but now she thinks in a better way and I like her even more now.
Is that so?
Not just her appearance.
I'm happy that you like her inside.
Thank you.
Next up is Asai Nanami who answers with Ishiwata Sena.
She used to be like the youngest member of the team, but now she's a reliable member of the team.
Wow, you're being called "captain".
I'm happy.
I'm happy that you're being called "captain" and I respect you.
Wow.
Next up is Gyoutei Yurina who answers with Kurano Narumi.
She used to be very shy and quiet when she was in Team K,
but now that she's in Team 4 as a captain, she's very kind and nice.
Thank you.
Team K also had a lot of fun at the end.
At the end?
At the beginning...
I'm sorry.
She used to be very kind and nice.
Yes, that's right.
I'm happy.
I'm sure everyone's image has changed over the past year,
but here's the best image award for 2022!
It's Kobayashi Ran-chan!
Yay! Congratulations!
Kobayashi Ran-chan will receive a commemorative trophy and a super loud treatment machine to keep her beautiful hair even when it's bald.
Yay! That's great!
My hair was a little damaged, so I'm grateful. Thank you very much!
You know, when you dye your hair, it gets damaged.
Yes.
So, Ran-chan, please tell us about your gratitude and your aspirations for next year.
Well, I made up my mind, thought about it, and decided to change my hair color.
And I'm glad you chose me this time and made me blonde.
So, I'll do my best to grow my hair not only in appearance but also in many ways next year.
Thank you very much!
So, that's it for Best Image Award. Congratulations!
Thank you very much!
Well, everyone, please open it up.
Yes!
There's only one award left!
It went by so quickly.
It's the MVP award, which I think was the most shining award in 2022.
MVP...
It's pretty...
It's next to the MC award!
It's next!
It's next to the MC award!
It's nice.
It's nice, MVP.
There are eight nominees.
Nana Okada, Eri Chiba, Hitomi Honda, Manaka Taguchi, Nobu Mogi, Maho Oomori, Yuki Kashiwagi, and Airi Sato.
Please read it.
Wait, Yukirin-san and Hii-chan?
The top five!
Nominees!
Amazing!
Even just being nominated is amazing!
It's really amazing!
That's amazing!
As expected, you two are MVP winners!
That's right!
Even if it's someone else, it's not strange!
I think it's fine if it's all eight of us!
That's what I think, but from here again?
We have the best MVP!
First of all, please watch the performance by the nominated members!
The song we will perform is "Lipgloss", which we haven't heard in a while!
Here it is!
"Lipgloss" is one of our most popular songs, and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we did!
My lips are getting closer and closer to you
I want you to know that I'm the only one for you
I want you to know that I'm the only one for you.
Thank you very much.
It was a performance by the MVP nominated members.
Thank you very much.
It was wonderful.
As I said earlier, there are eight people who look like AKB48 in 2022.
First of all, I would like to hear the voices of joy nominated one by one.
Let's start with Airi.
It's been seven months since I joined, but I'm really happy to be nominated as an MVP like this.
Even though I'm one of the selected members, I learn a lot every day, so I'd like to do my best in the future as well.
Thank you very much.
Then Shunjun, please.
It's been seven months since I joined, but I'm really happy to be nominated as an MVP like this.
Thank you very much.
I don't know how old I will be until I'm 30, but I will continue to work hard as an AKB member.
Thank you very much.
It's been a year where I've been able to do a lot of things myself.
I'm really happy to be nominated as an MVP like this.
Thank you very much.
Hi, I'm Mogi Shinobu. It's my 11th year and it's my first time being nominated for an award.
I'm really happy to be nominated for an award and to be able to do a lot of work and to be nominated for an MVP like this.
I'm really happy and I'll continue to do my best!
Hi, I'm Taguchi. I've done a lot of things like being a captain this year and I feel like I have to do it myself to do it.
To be honest, all of me were nominated for lip gloss and we were like "Eh? We're doing this song?"
But people around me told me "You got eaten up in the selection so have confidence!"
So with that confidence in mind, I'll continue to do my best! Thank you very much!
Hi, I'm really honored to be nominated for an MVP like this.
Besides this award, I'm really happy to be nominated for all five categories.
It's been nine years since I joined and this year I'm standing in the center of AKB48.
I was able to make my dream come true.
I'm really thankful for the members and of course for the fans.
Thank you so much for the MVP!
Hi, I'm Chiba Erii.
This year, it's been a while since I wore lip gloss, and it's the first time I've been selected for the center.
I think it's the biggest change of the year for me.
I'm very happy to be selected for the MVP like this. Thank you very much!
Hi, I'm Okada Nana.
This project was nominated based on a member survey.
Over the past ten years, I've realized that various members see me that way.
I was overwhelmed with gratitude.
I will never forget the bond I have with the members and the experiences we've had together.
I will continue to cherish that bond and work hard to live my own life.
Thank you, MVP!
Now, I'm curious about who the best MVP is, but before that, I'd like to announce the special award!
What is it?
I'm sure you're wondering what a special award is, but this survey was conducted for all members.
The special award was given to all staff members involved in AKB48 in 2022.
Now, I'd like to announce this year's MVP chosen by those involved.
The winners are...
...on this stage!
What?!
They're already selected here.
The MVP chosen by those involved?
They're already selected here.
They're on this stage right now.
I'm sure you're excited about it, too, so I'd like to announce it now.
The MVP chosen by those involved in 2022 is...
...Mogi Shinobu!
It's Mogi-chan!
The MVP chosen by those involved is...
...Mogi-chan!
This award is...
...a luxurious meal ticket!
Thank you very much!
I'll eat a good meal!
I want you to eat a lot of food!
With that wish, we'd like to award you with this award.
Please tell us how you feel right now.
I want you to eat a lot of food!
You say you want us to eat a lot of food, so how do you feel right now?
In the past, I used to be hated by people I knew.
Is that possible?
I used to argue with my manager and get scolded.
But now, for the 11th year, I've been able to argue with people around me.
Thanks to that, I've been able to receive this award.
I'll continue to be careful not to get carried away.
I'll work hard and be humble.
Thank you very much!
Congratulations, Mogi-chan!
Eat a lot of food and grow up!
That's all for this year's MVP award!
Congratulations, Mogi-chan!
Please stand up!
Now, now, now, I'm sorry.
Now that the preliminary round is over, it's finally time for the members...
Was it the preliminary round?!
I'm sorry, it's the preliminary round.
No matter how many times you watch it, it says "preliminary round" at the end of it.
I'm sorry!
With that said, it's finally time for members to announce the best MVP award.
Nominees, are you ready?
Now, I will announce it!
The best MVP award of 2022 is...
As a trophy and reward, we will also increase the luxury product line! Congratulations!
And also...
And also, Airi-chan, along with the best and best rookie award...
Has won a double prize!
Please tell us how you feel right now!
I'm looking forward to it.
Yes.
It's good. Tell me what you think.
To be honest, I didn't think I would be chosen as MVP.
Being nominated was...
For me, it was a big step forward.
So I'm really happy and surprised that I got this big award.
I'm really happy that the members chose me.
I think it's an award that has been supported by all of you.
I will do my best to repay you more and more in the future.
Please continue to support me!
Yes, congratulations!
So...
Airi-chan has a few members who have given you names.
So I'd like to introduce them.
First of all, Mogi-chan.
She's still a newborn baby, but when she goes to a concert or a singing show, she always has a cute technique.
I think it's amazing that you work hard and don't slack off a lot of work.
Next, Oomori Miyu-chan.
Anyway, it feels like it's already been completed, but it also feels like a loved character, which is really amazing.
Yes.
And Kitazawa Saki-chan.
The future of AKB is bright!
That's it.
That's all.
Saki-chan, wait a minute.
What are you talking about?
Kitazawa Saki-chan, do you know her?
Saki-chan.
She's a little big-headed, but...
And Nozomi Hatakeyama of the same generation.
She's been leading me since I joined as a 17th grader.
Even if I'm chosen at the end of the battle, I won't be a tengu.
She taught me how to dance and took care of me a lot.
That's it.
Congratulations, Airi-chan!
Thank you!
Congratulations.
Now, we have an announcement for the fans.
Airi-chan, please read the MVP award.
Yes.
This is an announcement from AKB48 Official Shop.
Official goods and live photos commemorating the 17th anniversary are currently on sale.
Live photos will be available from December 13th at 12:59pm.
Goods will be available from December 20th at 12:59pm.

Yes.
That's great.
There's more, Airi-chan.
Yes.
Also, the game app Dragon Egg and AKB48 will collaborate.
AKB members will participate in Dragon Egg's TV commercial...
Appearance... Appearance...

Appearance rights battle.

Wow!
That's great.
It's a little diagonal, isn't it?
The key to victory will be the guild's collaboration and the members' support.
Everyone, please give it a shake and participate!
Also, the TV commercial production will be decided by fans and members' class...

Thank you for your long introduction.
Thank you for having me.
Now, there's one more announcement.
Please take a look at this.
Please take a look at this video.
We're all looking forward and working together.
I'd like to join AKB48 and get excited with you all.
I hope you'll get stronger and come back.
I want to do my best with you all.
On April 29, 2023, AKB48 concert and Team 8 9th anniversary concert will be held at Pia Arena MM in Kanagawa Prefecture.
I'm happy!
Thank you!
Yes, I think it will be a concert separated by Team 8, but on behalf of Team 8, Hii-chan, please tell us how you feel now.
Yes, first of all, I'm very happy to be able to do Team 8's concert twice on April 30th, and I'm also happy to celebrate the 9th anniversary with you all.
Also, although activities have been suspended, we will do our best with Team 8 to make the last day a wonderful day for you all, so let's have a fun time together!
I'm sorry, it doesn't make sense!
But I'm sure it will be a fun day, so everyone, the application for the ticket will start at 9 pm tonight, so please come and play!
Please check it out! Thank you!
Yes, thank you!
Yes, it's really nice to have a concert like this.
Today is the 17th anniversary of the concert, but when I think back to what anniversary it was last year and the year before last,
last year we had a pretty simple Ceturion, but a year before that, due to the influence of COVID-19, it was canceled.
Of course, we couldn't do concerts like this, and of course there weren't many opportunities to meet everyone.
When I think back to that time, I'm happy that there is such a future waiting for us for the concert we look forward to in April next year.
But this year, we had the 17th anniversary of the concert, and everyone worked really hard for it.
"Sayonara Mouri" started and Maho Pyo became the program center.
There was the Budokan concert and Yukirin produced it for us.
Really, all of the members were shining.
There was also a new team concert...
Ah, it's not a concert, it's a lie.
A new team also started up, and there were various places for each member to shine.
I think this year has been really wonderful.
Next year, through this concert and various activities, we will do our best to make various people like the current AKB and support them more and more.
Thank you for your support for the 18th anniversary of AKB48!
Thank you for your support!
Thank you!
Now, I'd like to perform one more song for you!
Everyone!
Chiyo-san!
We've decided!
I'm so happy!
We'll do it as we rehearsed!
That's the best part!
We'll do it as we rehearsed!
I'm so happy!
I'm glad!
Thank you!
Now, we'd like to sing one more song for you,
for all of you who have received the Best Vocalist award,
and for all of you who have been nominated for this lip gloss.
We'd like to sing this song for you,
with gratitude for these 17 years,
and with hope that you'll continue to work hard from tomorrow!
"Cherry Blossom Flower".

Let's say our final greetings together!
One, two...
Thank you very much!
Now, as planned, I will close the lid of this VR.
This is my last job.
Is it okay?
Let's say goodbye to each other in our own places.
Thank you very much!
Since I was chosen as MVP, I will close this lid as planned!
