AISubs v3.5
A.K.B48!
I'm sure scientists don't know
The reality that we can't see
Maybe it's somewhere
It doesn't matter if you don't try to find
The important things
Only what you can see
Is what you don't think is the truth
Everything I don't know is overflowing
Adults make mistakes with their fierce faces
You look down and look up
That's why you should look for it
You're making a serious face, you're making a mistake
You look like you know what you're doing, so you should look for it
In a place other than here, with someone other than me
Thank you for your hard work!
Good evening, everyone! We are A.J.B.48!
A.K.B.48's 18th Anniversary Special Commencement Performance has begun!
The first song was "Under" with 22,000 votes and "Under" by Shittakaburi. Thank you!
Today marks A.K.B.48's 18th anniversary.
We are very happy to be able to celebrate this wonderful day with you all.
We will do our best to make A.K.B.48 even more exciting and contribute to it!
Thank you!
Well, then, Ayumi-chan, please.
Yes. Right now, we, Sae-chan, are greeting you with a sparkling smile,
but the 16th generation debuted at the 11th anniversary park 7 years ago,
and Remi-tan and Hiyuka debuted in 2019.
Yes, that's right.
So you're not young anymore, are you?
I'm sorry, but...
Excuse me, but can I say one thing?
Yes.
Sae-chan said that you're under 22 years old.
Um, Nagatomo-san, you just said...
Huh?
You said you're 23 years old last month.
Huh?
Well, then...
Thank you!
Well, only one of you is over 22 years old.
Only one of you is over 22 years old.
No, not yet.
Well, if you count Manaka-chan, she's only about 25 years old.
Really?
Wait, wait.
Wait, there's still four days left, so she's only 19 years old.
Oh, I see.
She's only 19 years old.
Well, you're over 22 years old for now.
Yes.
How about you, Remi-tan?
Yes, I and Hiuka were born in 2006.
So you're 17 years old this year.
Wow!
So you're younger than me.
Wow!
That's right.
Huh? Really?
Really!
You're so cute!
So I'm really happy that you're able to be active in a big group like AKB48, which is older than you.
Yes.
You're still in high school.
That's right.
You're still in high school.
You're young.
You're young!
For now...
When we joined AKB48, we were only 12 years old.
That's right!
Huh?
Because we were wearing walnuts and land cells.
That's right!
We joined as elementary school students.
When young girls like you join AKB48, I feel like I'm an old lady.
Stop it!
For now, you're under 22 years old.
You'll continue to work hard with liveliness and freshness.
Everyone, are you ready to get excited after this?
Okay! It seems like the next song is ready!
The next song is this one!
Please!
The object of your true love is a lonely choice.
There's no one on my side daremo mikata nanka inai yo
I have no choice but to suffer more and be confused.
I should have been convinced of that.
What is my heart screaming? Kokoro wa nani wo sakende iru?
If you're hiding your face like that, where are you already?
Even if it's a lie, if I put it in the past, I can forget it?
Should I have hurt him somewhere?
For you who don't care about anything even now
eru dake da eru dake da
The light doesn't come on even when I get the signal itself.
I'll make it my past and I can forget it if it's a memory
Was it okay for me to get hurt?
Even now I can't change anything
I'm just putting on a mask while saying it's for you
I have no choice but to live
Yes, thank you for listening to the anime "in" at universe girls!
Thank you very much!
Yes, on such a commemorative day like this, I am very honored to perform my first center song.
Yes, how about you, Hinana-san?
No, it's already the best!
The best!
Thank you everyone!
The members here, other than Seri-chan, have already announced their graduation.
It's already the last anniversary performance, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Is there anything you want to say at the end?
It's the last time we can celebrate the special day of our 18th anniversary as active members.
We are standing here today with a lot of feelings of gratitude.
Are there a lot of debut members?
Yes, there are.
There are 16 members.
Yes, there are.
There are 13 members.
Congratulations!
There are 13 members.
How many anniversaries?
We have reached our 12th anniversary.
12th anniversary! Congratulations!
That's right. Thank you very much.
That's right.
When we realized it, we were able to celebrate our 12th anniversary.
It's amazing.
I'm happy.
It's amazing, isn't it?
It's not like we're going to quit right away.
That's right.
I hope we can continue to work hard together in our 19th anniversary.
Everyone, please continue to support us in our 19th anniversary.
Please do.
Thank you for celebrating our 18th anniversary.
Our 18th anniversary special...
Special anniversary performance.
Our 18th anniversary special performance will continue.
Please enjoy it until the end!
Next up is this song.
Please enjoy it!
♪ Do The Dance ♪
It's fine if you don't
By chance
I saw you
Not by chance
I felt a tingling sensation
You're a good woman
Maybe
Maybe it's not as bad as you think
Do, do, do the dance
Won't you dance with me?
It's so good, good, do the dance
What I'm telling you here
Is that you and I understand each other
Even if you're made of glass
A flower's life is fleeting
It's so good, good, do the dance
Even if you're made of glass
A flower's life is fleeting
It's so good, good, do the dance
You don't have to be so wary of me
Maybe it's worse than you think
I won't hide it
Oh yeah! Be, be, be alright
Leave it to me
Everything, be, be, be alright
Into my arms
Come on! Do, do, do the dance
I'll show you a dream
Tonight, be, be, be alright
You don't have to know anything
So, you close your eyes and
Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly
Come on! Do, do, do the dance
What should we do?
Yeah!
How did you like us performing "Do the Dance" with the students?
Thank you!
There are only 17 students on this stage now,
but this year, 18 students will join us,
and next year, 19 students will join us.
I think we still have a long way to go,
but in this year, do you feel like you've grown up, Airi-chan?
Yes!
But compared to last year,
the number of songs we performed at concerts increased,
so I think everyone changed their clothes and learned the choreography faster.
Yeah!
In one year.
Yeah!
What about you, Mizumi-chan?
Yes!
But I think I've grown up
because I'm able to answer everyone's questions
when they ask me "How was it?"
That's true!
Before, everyone was like "Um..."
but now I'm able to speak freely like this,
and I think I've grown up!
That's true!
How about you, Kokko-chan?
How about you?
I still have a lot of things I need to improve,
but I think everyone learned the choreography better than last year,
and I know it's the same thing, but I think I'm faster now,
and I don't talk as much as I did last year.
That's true!
What kind of senior do you want to be in the future?
Even among the 17th grade, there are seniors you admire, don't you?
Me?
Yes, you!
For example, when a 19th grader joins the class, you often say, "I admire you, Marumaru-chan."
"Hashimoto Eiko," "Hashimoto Eiko," "Hashimoto Eiko"
Something like that.
Something like that!
I want to be called like that.
That's good.
Anyone else?
Yuki-chan.
I also want to be an admirer of the 19th graders and juniors.
I hope that 17th graders, 18th graders, and 19th graders will be able to make AKB more exciting.
But Yuki-chan is already a senior you admire.
Right?
How about Non-chan?
She's the youngest, isn't she?
Yes, she is.
In my case, a lot of juniors join the class.
When Juhaki-chan joined, I didn't know what to do.
But now I know what I should do.
That's fast.
I hope we can talk a lot and have a lot of communication.
That's right.
When 19th graders or younger join, I want them to bring me food.
That's fast!
I want them to choose my clothes.
She said it.
She said it in front of everyone.
It's a big promise.
When Eri-chan, a 19th grader, joins, she will be treated to a meal.
I hope she enjoys it.
Everyone, please remember this.
I hope she enjoys it.
AKB48's 18th anniversary concert will continue.
The next song is this one.
Here you go!
♪ "Bad Boy" ♪ "Bad Character Vocal"
♪ "Bado Character Vocal"
I was born a little late, but what can I say about that?
I don't know anything about myself, but I had a good childhood, didn't I?
I don't know anything about common sense or anything like that.
I should live my own life with a stubborn attitude like a fairy tale?
I don't know anything about common sense or anything like that.
Seriously, it's a pain in the ass!
Can you just disappear already?
To the east, to the east, to the west, where should we go?
Don't change forever like this.
You can't become an adult.
Courage sinks in, that's enough.
Youth sinks in.
Is it wrong for me to stay here like this?
To the east, to the west, to the north and to the south
Let me take you there, just like this
Like this, like this as always, to me like this, like this as always
Like this, like this as always We are not afraid
Dada, dada, dada, really annoying
Dada, dada, dada, it doesn't mean anything
Dada, dada, dada, I'm sick of it
Dada, dada, dada
Thank you for listening to "All Out Rebellion" at Girls' Drive!
Thank you!
We appeared in a movie, but have you seen it?
Has anyone seen it?
About half of you have seen it.
I'm happy.
Thank you very much.
Do you have any memories of going around all over the country for this stage greeting?
The first time I went to Shizuoka was to St. Moon's.
Yes, yes, yes.
A pioneer society.
Yes, yes, yes.
I ate churros, and it was really long.
Food from a movie theater.
That's right.
The churros were really long and delicious.
Apparently, that churros sold number one in Shizuoka's St. Moon's market.
Wow!
When we posted on social media that we ate churros, it sold number one in St. Moon's market.
Wow!
That's amazing.
I'm glad it did.
Churros sold like crazy.
I'm glad.
That's good news.
It was delicious.
You ate a lot of popcorn, didn't you, Sorano?
Yes, I did.
You ate a lot of popcorn, didn't you, Sorano?
Yes, I did.
You ate it all your life.
You ate it all your life, didn't you?
Yes, I did.
I was full of popcorn.
There are so many flavors, you can't stop eating them.
You ate a lot of popcorn from a movie theater, didn't you?
Yes, I did.
Wow.
We haven't talked about movies at all, but do you have any favorite movies?
When we went out together, Sorano and I went to Shizuoka again.
Shizuoka is famous for hamburgers.
Yes, yes.
We were talking about going there and eating hamburgers, but we ended up going to a sushi restaurant.
What?
We went there.
What a waste!
That's right, we wanted to go there.
What a waste!
Really?
You couldn't eat there.
We couldn't go there because of time constraints.
That's right.
Oh, I see.
We couldn't go there.
It's a shame, but...
We only talked about food.
That's right.
But we were able to spend a lot of time with the five of you, shooting and watching "GIRLS' LIFE".
Thank you.
We got to know each other a lot.
We got to know each other.
We might be able to do something with "GIRLS' LIFE" again, so please look forward to it and wait for it!
Yes!
Now that we're ready for the next song, we'd like to move on to the next song!
Here it is!
Here you go!
Here it is!
In the streets of college days, nostalgia springs up in my heart.
Nothing has changed, but the wind blows past my heart.
Not even that apartment has been demolished.
A long rain is pouring down.
As I walk through the narrow streets of college days,
a page of my youth has been brought back to me.
Do you remember me?
We always passed each other at the station platform.
We met several times, but it was all just in my head.
Every time I look into my memories, they smile for me.
The uniform I wore back in the day.
The long hair I used to wear.
Today, there is a path that only I have walked.
Hey, look back in your mind.
What you lost may be falling now.
Even if you forget me,
The days we shared were shining.
Do you remember me?
We passed by each other in the distance of time.
We met many times, but
Is it all fate?
Every time I peek into my memories of you,
The ghost's voice that made me smile
Always led me to you, the long coming of you.
Thank you for listening to "kimi wa boku wo oboeteru kana" on the second campus.
Thank you!
So, Na-min, what did you think of singing it today?
Well, it's been a while since we performed a couple song together like this, right?
On release day, Budokan day, and today.
I think it's been a while since we performed a song like this three times.
And it's our anniversary performance.
It's a very important day for us.
And we were able to perform such a great song like this with these members.
We were very happy.
How about you, Sake?
Yes.
I think you remember the lyrics and title of this song, "kimi wa boku wo oboeteru kana".
It's not only me but also Na-min and Somi who are holding back their graduation.
When you played this song, you reminded me of us.
I'm singing it now while thinking about it.
I'm not wearing a gray uniform or long hair.
But I have a lot of memories about this song.
I hope you remember the performance you just saw and the Budokan day.
And I hope you listen to this song with a lot of feelings.
I'd like to ask you, Sake.
Yes. I love this song, too.
We are the members who performed this song.
We are called "second campus".
What does "second campus" mean?
"First Campus" is a song called "Omoide My Friend".
There is a sequel to that song.
There is a sequel to that song?
Yes, it came out three years ago.
I see.
I want to figure it out before I graduate.
I'm glad we were able to figure it out at this timing.
I see.
Some of you may have heard of it.
Please listen to it.
So far we have sung 62 songs in a single.
The last song is this one.
Please enjoy!

Thank you!
Thank you for listening to "If I Wasn't a Singer"!
Thank you!
It's been about six years since I worked as a center member in my 62nd single "If I Wasn't a Singer".
I don't know if I was able to do anything as a center member, but by working as a center member myself,
I had a lot more time to think about groups and my love for groups increased a lot.
So I was able to learn as an idol again in this position of a center member.
Everyone, I hope you will listen to "If I Wasn't a Singer" a lot in the future as well!
Once again, thank you for supporting me in my 19th year!
Thank you!
Well, then...
Hello!
Well, except for me and Maho-pyon...
Goodbye, everyone.
Well, let's get started!
"AKB48 AWARD - Member of the Year"!
Well...
I don't know when it's going to end.
It's pretty long.
Well, then...
I'll be your general moderator.
I'm Manaka Taguchi...
And I'm Maho Oomori!
Thank you for having us!
Wow, that's amazing.
It's amazing, isn't it?
Thank you for your perfection.
Well, then...
"AKB48 AWARD - Member of the Year"!
We will continue to hold this year, following last year.
Yeah!
Well, then...
I heard you're angry for some reason.
What's wrong with you, Manaka-san?
Um...
Can I say something?
Yes.
Um...
The category is too biased!
Yeah!
Me and Maho-pyon...
No matter how much variety we try...
That's right!
The fact that we're here means...
Um...
We haven't been chosen for anything!
Isn't it weird?
But we did our best, too!
We were on fire this year!
That's right!
We threw so many balls!
We did our best!
Well, well, well...
Leaving us behind...
Yes.
There are many wonderful members who will be nominated.
Yes.
There are many members who will be nominated.
Yes.
So, today...
We, Manaka-san and I, will be the nominators.
Thank you for watching until the end!
Now, I will announce the first award, "Best Rookie Award".
The 18th grade researchers who made their debut this year will be the nominators.
First of all, please watch the performance of the 18th grade researchers.
On the usual road, on the usual road, I'm running, I'm running on my bicycle.
I can see the sweat of my eyes, and the gentle breeze of September.
Love at rest, love at rest, I love you, I love you, I love you.
I came here because I was curious about you.
Even now, I want to see you, see you.
Maybe, maybe, I might like you.
In the blue sky, there are only clouds now.
I love you and I miss you.
Ah, I really like you.
Make me, make me, make me love you.
Come to me, make me, make me love you.
Congratulations on your nomination!
Thank you!
Speaking of the 18th generation,
Arai-chan did the 62nd coupling center in her current single,
and Yagi-chan did the solo in the Budokan concert.
I don't think you've done anything like this in a year.
How did you like it, Maho-pyon?
I don't think you've done anything like this in a year.
That's impossible!
I can't believe it's our first year.
We didn't know which way to go.
We could only go forward.
It's amazing.
I'd like to announce the best award right away.
AKB48 AWARD MEMBER OF THE YEAR
And the best award goes to...
Yagi Azuki-chan!
Yagi-chan, please go to the center.
Yagi-chan, as a trophy and as a prize, you will receive a 1000mm high quality flash juice.
How do you feel right now?
Well, I'm very surprised.
I won the best rookie award in my first year and I'm very happy about it.
I will continue to work hard and do my best!
That's wonderful and encouraging. Congratulations!
You have something to say, don't you?
Yes, that's right.
I would like to introduce some of the reasons why I chose her as the best performer.
First of all, Miyon Mukaichi.
With her "budokan" lottery unit,
her luck of drawing a solo for the first time
and her unexpected high performance made me overwhelmed.
Next, Yuri Murayama.
With her "budokan" solo unit,
she had skills that you wouldn't think she was a canoeist,
and it left a great impression on me.
Congratulations!
I'm so happy! Thank you!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
In addition to this,
there were many comments from the members praising her solo performance at the "budokan" concert.
Finally, could you say a few words for your future goals and fans?
Yes!
That's right.
I will do my best to make you smile a lot and make you overwhelmed,
so please continue to support me!
Thank you very much!
Now, let's move on to the next category.

The battle of the wind never ends until it's moved.
I want to see you again, I pray.
If it's okay with you, I'll rush over right away.
Those promises...
Shine brighter than that day.
I wonder if happiness is here.
We loved each other so much.
Just by looking at each other,
Even though we're so close to each other.
But...
It's been a while since I wore a lip gloss
It's shining brighter than it did that day
I'm sure you're happy now
We used to love each other
Just by looking into each other's eyes
Our lips are getting closer to each other
I want you to give me new courage and love
I will never forget
Your lips that shine forever

As expected!

Lastly, from Narita Kohina-chan...
Kudo Kasumi-chan voted for her!
Because you have a makeup certificate,
and you teach me makeup that suits me in the 18th century!
She has a makeup certificate!
That's right!
I have a makeup certificate,
and I'm not good at makeup in the 18th century,
so leave it to me!
Wow!
That's amazing!
That's great!
That's tough!
Now, without further ado...
I'd like to announce the winner!
The Best Makeup Award goes to...
Chiba, Erii Channel!
Erii-chan, please come to the front.
As a trophy and reward for Erii-chan, we will give you cosmetics and shopping items for you to keep yourself beautiful.
Thank you very much!
It has my name on it! I'm so happy!

Wow! Thank you very much!
How do you feel now, Erii-chan?
I don't know who gave me this award, but I'm so happy!
Are you interested in it?
Yes, I am!
Then, I will talk about it.
Please do!
First of all, Sato Erii-chan!
When I watch makeup videos on YouTube, I can see that you are very particular about it.
And, Ootake Hitomi-chan!
You are a genius of eyelashes!
And, Kumohina-no-chan!
You are a genius of eyelashes!
Eyelashes!
There are not many people who praise eyelashes like you!
That's right!
I'm so happy!
Your eyelashes are so good that you might get stung by the best people.
I went to an eyelash parlor yesterday.
You look great!
For today!
Yes, for today!
Thank you very much!
You look great!
I'm so happy!
Thank you very much again!
Then, Erii-chan!
Are you okay?
Don't you have to declare that you will live on as a representative of cosmetics?
That's right!
In the future, I would like to produce color contacts and cosmetics.
Color contacts are what I want to do the most.
But, I'm working hard on beauty products.
So, I'm going to work hard for my goal!
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
Let's work hard!
Then, I'm going to announce the winner of "Best Dresser" award.
Wait, wait, wait!
Let me say it one more time!
There are people who haven't missed it!

Yes!
It was Murayama Yui-ri-san who voted for me!
She's always been up to date with fashion.
She wore a jacket with a cleaning cloth on it and said, "I forgot to take it off."
And I was told, "This is that kind of design."
I thought I just couldn't keep up with fashion!
I forgave you because you're my senior!
That's dangerous!
That's what we do!
That's dangerous!
And Yui-Yui-san voted for Sitao Miu-san...
I'm happy!
Yes!
She's always so cute and even in her warm clothes you can tell that she's taking care of herself.
Her short, perfect T-shirt and her loose pants really go well with her.
That's true!
I'm even happier when people praise me at the same time!
I'm happy!
Sita-chan always praises me, so I'm happy!
Thank you!
And next up is Meg-san Taniguchi...
Yes!
Her nominee, Hirata Yuki-chan, voted for her!
Yes!
Not only her clothes, but her fashion sense is always so stylish.
Thank you!
You're so stylish!
Thank you! I'll back down!
Wow!
That's nice!
So that's what it's like when you choose a senpai!
That's nice!
You learned something!
Not at all! Not at all!
Oh, sorry, sorry!
And for Seina-san, Saito Haruna-chan voted for you!
Not only for events like handshakes and such, but for lessons as well!
I think you look cool in bright colored clothes!
Thank you! I'd like to wear high-heeled clothes again!
Wow! So cool!
Thank you!
Next is Honda Hitomi from Kurano Narumi.
I always wear clothes that I'm conscious of.
Next is Miyon from Muto Orin-chan.
My school uniform is cute, but it's always cute in lessons, and I want it to go down.
She's aiming for it!
It's a hassle to carry it around, so please come and get it at home!
Thank you!
Next is Hirata Yuki-chan from Onishi Momoka.
She hasn't changed since last year!
I want Yuki-chan's bath because she's so cute and has a good sense!
I can't believe it's the opposite!
I'd like to give her a present!
Wow! A present!
Is it okay?
Isn't it okay?
I'm going to write mine, too.
Me, too!
We're all on the same page!
I want my own clothes!
I like it!
Next is Sakoi Memi-chan from Mahonmyon!
Yes! It's me!
She was stylish! Her arms and legs were long, so her style was emphasized!
Yes!
Arms and legs combined!
Sakoi Memi with arms and legs combined!
Her style is...
Her style is great!
It's wonderful!
Yes!
Now, I'd like to announce...
Yes!
I'd like to announce...
The Best Dresser Award goes to...
Hirata Yuki-chan!
Yuki-chan, please come to the center.
Yuki-chan, as a trophy and award...
Not only your clothes, but also your body will look stylish.
Kojima Haruna-san will present you with a beauty set produced by Harip2.
Wow! Thank you very much!
So, how do you feel about being chosen?
At this year's anniversary concert...
I was nominated for several awards...
But this is the award I wanted the most.
I'm very happy. Thank you very much!
I will continue to work hard in fashion.
Yuki-chan, you often buy Harip2 clothes for shopping.
I love it!
It's such a nice beauty set.
Wow! That's great!
I will treasure it.
It suits you very well.
There were several votes for Yuki-chan from our members.
I will read them now.
First of all, Kashiwagi Yuki-san!
You always look stylish. The clothes you see on Instagram also look good on you and are cute.
Yay! I'm happy!
Next, Chiba Erii-chan!
When I'm worried about clothes, I look at Yuki- chan's Instagram (secretly laughing).
Wow!
It's the first time I've heard of it!
I'm happy!
Moreover, those two are also stylish.
They are not exaggerating in saying that they are fashionable.
That's right.
Lastly, Sako Yumemi, who was also one of the nominated members earlier.
Sako Yumemi!
You are always so stylish that when I look at you, my eyes are locked in.
Wow!
My juniors also admire you.
You're amazing!
I wanted to be like you!
Right?!
That's weird!

Momoka said...
I'm sorry.
Onishi, you're often told not to say your name.
I'm sorry.
I thought you'd say "o" first.
I know.
It's hard not to say "o" first.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I'm glad you did it.
I'd like to announce the reasons why you were chosen.
Okay.
First of all, Momoka Onishi voted for...

That's right!
That's true!
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Next, Yukirin voted for...
Yui Yamaguchi!
Yui!
At concerts, when the topic of the host rises...

That's true.
She's a few years older than me.
She's cute.
I think she's cute.
Thank you.
Next, Shimoguchi Hinana voted for...

Because of Hinana...

There's a difference between day and night!
Wow!
I'm happy. Thank you for complimenting me, Chiyume-chan!
Next, Seina-san, from Nagano, Celica-san said...
I've seen so many times how you teach the choreography to members who can't really go out to rehearsals for Budokan concerts.
Not only you, but you also spend time with the other members, and I think it's very nice!
Thank you!
Well, there's that aspect...
This year... Isn't this show a trend?
It's in everyone's hearts!
Thank you! It's in our hearts!
But this happened, didn't it? Last year, after this show ended...
Everyone was like, "No, I'm going to do all of the trash now!"
It happened so many times!
After it ended, everyone started doing it right away!
There's a blessing in that!
Thank you!
Next, from Muto Olin-san...
The nominated member, Mizushima Miyu-chan, voted for us!
Thank you!
When she appeared on Team A's "Under" show...
She was always there for me, and talked to me...
She relieved my tension!
It's because she was so kind!
I'm happy!
I'm glad you talked a lot in the dressing room!
A little!
Next, Yui-san voted for...
Hashimoto Haruna-san!
I wanted to win first place at the Dobon event, and I've been playing for a while now...
"I'm going to win first place!" She said that!
Amazing!
When I talked about my worries, she held me in her arms...
You're too kind! You're like a horse!
That's what she said!
Horse!

That's what she said!
Congratulations!
That's what everyone thinks, right?
That's right!
That's amazing!
So, it might be Seina-san!
I will now announce it!
The best support award goes to...
Hinana Shimoguchi-san!
Congratulations!
Is it okay?!
Yes!
So, as a trophy and reward for Hinana-san,
not only for the members around her,
but for herself as well,
I would like you to support her!
With that in mind, I will now announce "smart watch"!
Two!
It's not two, it's two in a row!
That's right!
That's amazing!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
How do you feel now?
I'm graduating in February, but I love spending time with the members like this.
I'm so happy that we've gotten so close that we can choose the Best Support Award like this.
I'm a little sad that we won't be able to support you anymore in the future, but please do your best in the future!
We'll be there for you!
Leave it to us!
We might be chosen next!
That's right!
I was doing a campaign this year and I thought I'd be chosen!
Please don't choose me!
She don't mind!
I think it's proof of how much you've supported everyone.
That's right!
By the way, Hidana-san!
In this one year, you've appeared in 81 theater performances and you're among the top members!
Wow!
That's amazing!
Wow!
You've stepped up to 81 times!
That's amazing!
Not only the members, but also the theater was able to support you.
This is all I can do for you.
That's wonderful!

First, Ms. Oda Erina voted for...
Eriko Hashimoto!
Oh, Eriko!
Her showroom and TikTok are very interesting.
For some reason, her TikTok posts are always full of compliments and it's so funny!
Thank you!
It's like "Rui calls a friend"...
It's like "Eriko votes for me"!

I'm so happy that you like Eriko!
Thank you!
She's so cute!
You two go well together!

Thank you!
That's great!
Thank you!
Next, Ms. Megu!
Ms. Hinana Shimoguchi posted her TikTok constantly.

Thank you!
Let's post more TikToks!
Thank you!
Next, Ms. Saho Iwatate voted for Ms. Chiba Erii!
She posts makeup videos on TikTok.
I thought it would be a habit for her to add tension to her narration.
I'm happy! Thank you!
She's really down-to-earth!
Her face is cute, but she's really down-to-earth!
Her voice is a little low and she speaks quietly.
She's doing it in secret.
Next, Ms. Yamauchi Mizuki voted for Ms. Tokunaga Remi!
She posts TikTok every day and I think it's amazing!
Her videos are sometimes cute and sometimes cool!
I'm happy every day because I get to know various Zucchis on TikTok!
I'm happy! Thank you!
I started TikTok this month and it's been a year!
I'm glad I posted it every day!
I was saved by Remi's words! Thank you, Remi!
Next, I have a message from Chiba Erii, a member of the nominee group.
When she edits her photos, she always looks sideways.
I was surprised at how she edited her photos.
I think it's amazing that she knows how to do it.
She deserves to be found more!
I'm happy! Thank you!
Good touch!
Thank you for your cute messages!
Thank you!
Next, I have a message from Zun-chan, a member of the nominee group.

The best SNS show is...
It's Yamane Suda-chan!
Congratulations!
Zun-chan, please go to the center.
Thank you!
I'm so happy!
I sang a solo song so many times, and I didn't get the highest score.
I know, right? You sang a solo song by yourself.
I'm so happy!
As a trophy and reward for you, Zun-chan, please take a lot of photos and videos of you.
As a reward for you, we'll award you with a travel license.
Wow! Thank you!
Now, Zun-chan, please tell us how you feel now.
Yes, since last year, I got twice the number of hits.
Twice the number of hits.
Wow! Twice the number of hits.
Yes, I got twice the number of hits.
But, compared to my busy photos, my clothes...
How can I say it?
My clothes are like photos that I forgot to put on.
That's true.
Yes, like videos of me taking a camera pose and falling down are on the internet news.
My likes are almost nine times higher than my usual photos.
Wow!
It's a strange feeling, but I'm very happy to receive it again this year.
I'll do my best to spread AKB48 more and more.
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Yes, and now...
I'll tell you the main reasons why I voted for you, Zun-chan.
Yes, I'm happy!
First of all, Honda Hitomi-san!
Yes!
Even when you're not on a music show,
I think it's hard for you to be careful with your appearance time and announcements of your members.
And I heard you're really good at taking cute photos,
so it's my secret dream to have you take photos of me leaking before I graduate!
Yes!
And one more thing!
Murayama Yuiri-san!
Yes!
Not only you, but you also teach people,
you're particular about how you dress and advertise,
you set a timer when you can't send emails at work,
and I think it's wonderful that you're able to convey your feelings to your fans!
That's what I think!
Thank you!
Wow!
I'm happy!
That's amazing!
It seems like you'll be able to work hard for another two or three years!
As expected!
Thank you!
Yes!
So from now on, as a social media influencer,
Yes!
Please work hard as a pioneer!
I'll do my best!
Thank you!
Yes!
Congratulations!
Thank you, Zun-chan! Thank you!
So far, we have announced five shows by voting between members.
Before the MVP, we would like to announce a related MVP show this year as well!
Oh, it's here!
We may come here.
That's right! We are here!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I would like to say it now.
We have selected the members who are most shining this year for those who are involved in the work of AKB48.

The related MVP show is...

Yui-san!

I'm really sorry about that!

I forgot to bring it!
Thank you!
Please!
Congratulations!
This is the meal voucher!
Yay!
Thank you!
Yui-san, please step forward...
Thank you!
Please tell us why you chose Maho-pyon as the MVP.
First of all, no matter how tired you are in the theater, I think it's wonderful that you don't let go of your hands when you stand on the stage.
Next, I think you are the only member who supports the group in the turning period from behind.
I was impressed with your silence at the final concert of Team Four with Kurano-san.
Thank you!
In addition, not only your singing ability in the No. 1 final round, but also your singing in silence at the final concert of Team Four have evolved a lot in terms of singing.
Of course, your performance should be evaluated more and more in terms of singing ability!
Thank you!
And finally, during the break of the event, you taught your juniors the choreography and practiced the choreography with the members.
I heard a lot of praise for you.
How about you, Yuri-san?
I really didn't think I would be chosen.
The members chose me as the best supporter.
I'm very happy with the opinions of those involved because they don't usually come out.
I will do my best in my 13th year as well.
Thank you!
By the way, congratulations to Yuri-san for now.
For me and Maho-pyo as well, we will receive one vote from the staff of Hado.
Thank you!
We're doing our best!
I'm glad!
I was worried about you.
No, no, it's fine!
We're counting on you!
Next year, we hope to win against Yui-san and receive support from her.
Yes, we'll do our best.
We'll learn from Yui-san and work together.
Now, we'll announce the MVP award.
The members who were the brightest this year will decide.
The nominees were Oguri Yui-san, Kashiwagi Yuki- san, Kurano Narumi-san, Honda Hitomi-san, Mukaichi Mion-san, Sato Kiara-chan...
Huh? I made a mistake!
Airi-san!
Wow! I was so confident I made a mistake!
I'm sorry!
Airi-san!
Yes! Sato Airi-chan! Mizushima Miyu-chan!
I thought you were my junior, Kii-chan.
You're getting along with Kii-chan now, aren't you?
I'm Airi-chan.
Now, let's see the performance of the nominees for MVP award!
♪I love you, I love you, it's making it hard to breathe♪ (daisuki da, kimi ga daisuki da, iki ga kurushiku naru yo)
♪The princess who can't be put away♪ (shimatte okenai ouyo)
♪ That's amazing, being called by words ♪ (sugee ne, kotoba de yobare)
♪ Spit it out and be honest without saying anything ♪ (haki dashite, iwazu ni sunao ni nare)
Congratulations on being nominated!

It was amazing.
Thank you for cheering us up with your voices.
Thank you.
I'd like to announce the reasons why we were chosen.
First of all, Yui Oguri voted for Arai Sae-chan.
I'm so happy!
She's really stoic and doesn't say anything negative all the time.
She's the one who keeps us going.
I'm so happy for you, Sae-chan!
It's true that...
Sae-chan, it's true...
It's true that you have a habit of turning all negative words into positive ones.
I'm happy you noticed that.
Thank you, Sae-chan!
Thank you.
Next, Yuki-rin voted for Yuki Ohta-chan.
The song requester for the theater performance song that was announced the next day...
I felt the fans' solidarity and Yuki-san's presence.

I'll buy you some money!
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
I'm so happy!
Next, Naomi Kurano voted for Naomi Kurano.
She was chosen for a new unit and had a wide range of roles in dramas and movies.

I'm so happy!
Thank you!
Next, Hii-san voted for Hii-san.
From Yukari Sasaki-san...
She has work outside and is busy.
Even if she can't participate in concert lessons and so on...
She does her best to invest.
Thank you!
It's rare for seniors to say such things, and I'm very happy about it. Thank you!
Next, Chiba Erii voted for Mukaichi Mion!
Thank you!
She came up with a set list of martial arts with Yukirin, and I put it out for the "Majisuka" project.
The moment I saw the project, I was excited!
It was very suitable for each role chosen by Mion, and it was very popular with fans, and it was a lot of fun!
I'm happy!
Erii's Shibuya also looked great in it! Thank you!
Thank you!
Next, we received last year's MVP.
Yagi Azuki voted for Airi!
Thank you!
I'm sure she's been working very hard as a candidate, and it's because she's been leading all of the students!
I'm happy! Thank you!
Last year, I received the Best Rookie Award, and Yagi Azuki also won the Best Rookie Award this time.
I'm very happy and full of joy!
Sato Kiara-chan was mistaken...
Oh no! I heard you!
Are you serious?!
Yes, I was crying.
I'm sorry! Really!
I'm sorry.
Let me apologize!
No, no, no! Thank you!
Next, Mizushima Miyu-chan received votes from Mayuri Murayama-san!
Miyu-chan's "Gikijou Kouen Seitan Festival" was held, and she appeared in various team performances and showed that she had found her strength!
I'm looking forward to standing on stage with students who value their roots more than anyone else, so I chose her as MVP!
I'm happy! Thank you!
I was very happy to hear Yuiri-san say that! Thank you!
Congratulations!
Now, I will announce it!
AKB48 AWARD MEMBER OF THE YEAR!
The best MVP award chosen by the members in 2023 is...
[MVP award goes to...]
And with that...
Oh no, I'm sorry!
As a trophy and reward...
I'm so happy!
You will receive a luxurious, ultra-luxurious product voucher.
I'm so happy!
Wait, I'm so happy! Thank you so much!
Wow, it even has my name on it!
How do you feel right now, Yui-san?
Eh? No way!
Really...
Everyone who has been chosen for the MVP award...
They have been working hard in various fields...
How do I say it...
I thought it was an award that everyone would win...
To be honest, I wasn't confident about it...
But they chose me like this...
I'm sure that in Budokan...
If I wasn't an idol...
The way I dance...
In Budokan...
The words I said in Budokan...
If you think about it like that...
I think it would make me happy...
And I'm so happy that the members voted for me like this...
Yes, really...
Thank you so much!
Yes.
I'm happy!
Yui Yui-san is really...
amazing...
and cool.
Her attitude during the Budokan concert
was well received by many members.
That...
Please give me the paper you wrote my name on!
That's right!
I'll take it! I'll take it!
I'll take it!
Will you take it? I'm happy!
Thank you!
I think Yui Yui-san will continue to lead us for the 19th year.
That's right!
I'd like to go to bed today!
That's nice!
It's hard, so please be careful not to hit your head!
It's quite heavy!
Don't hurt yourself!
Yes!
Everyone who was nominated!
And Yui Yui-san, who shined brightly!
Congratulations!
That's all!
AKB48 AWARDS...

Thank you!
Good job!
Now, lastly, I'd like to stand on stage with all the members of the year!
Everyone!
Okay.
Can you all see me?
Yes.
Okay.
And with that, we have all of our members here with us today!
Once again, I'm very happy that we were able to celebrate this 18th anniversary with all of our fans and all of our members and staff.
Once again, thank you all for everything!
Thank you!
Yes, well, this performance is coming to an end, but looking back at this year,
I think it was a year of team quits, a lot of friends graduating, and I think it was a year when I made my fans feel lonely and sad.
Changing is a very scary thing.
But I think AKB is a group that has overcome various walls together over the past 18 years, always making various changes.
I think all the members who have set out have taken a step forward for their own future and decided to set out.
So like everyone else, I think we need to work harder and harder so that we can change this change with our own hands.
It's been 19 years and we're already in our 20th anniversary.
I think it's not easy for a group to last this long.
It's thanks to the fans' daily support, the members' hard work, and the staff's support that we can start our 19th anniversary again.
I hope we can work together and work even harder so that we can be a group that you can enjoy and cheer for more and more.
Thank you for your support for AKB48 in our 19th anniversary as well!
Thank you!
Finally, I would like to sing a song that AKB48 has cherished for 18 years.
This is the last song. Please listen to it. "Sakura no Hanabira Tachi".
Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Wow!
What?
Suddenly?
What?
Was there such a pattern?
Really?
I'm surprised.
It's been a while since someone has come out.
I even said the name of the song.
What?
What is it?
"Sakura no Hanabira Tachi".
I'm singer No. 16, Yuki Aigi. Nice to meet you.
[Cherry Blossom Ending]
There's a lot of things, but...
The person who was chosen for the first time will listen to me carefully later, so please organize it in your head.
First of all, AKB48's 63rd new single is...
Eh, where do you start talking from?!
Where do you start talking from?!
First of all, the 63rd single is set to be released on March 13th!
First of all, go ahead!
First selection!
The girls who were chosen for the first time!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Yes, everyone's here!
Is it four of you?
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
Yes!
Now, with that said...
Can you talk?
Then, shall we talk to the four of you?
Then, first...
Yagi-chan, how is it?
Even though you were chosen for the first time.
Yes!
For me...
Kashiwagi Yuki-san's important graduation...
As a single member chosen for the first time...
I'm very happy and I've always yearned for it...
Ah, no...
Are you okay?
Please continue.
Behind Kashiwagi-san, who I've always yearned for...
My goal was to appear in a singing program or something like that...
I really felt like I couldn't do it anymore...
But since you chose me like this...
In the end...
While looking at Kashiwagi-san's back...
I'll do my best to make AKB more exciting!
Thank you!
I'm so happy! This is the first time we're all participating in the same selection, and I'm so happy!
Next up is Mizumin!
Yes!
How does it feel to be selected for the first time?
Before I joined AKB, I've always loved and admired Yuki-san...
You don't have to talk about me like that!
I'm so happy that I was chosen as one of the selection members who have always worked hard as a dream and goal in my graduation single.
I've always been told by my fans to join me as soon as possible.
I'm so happy that I was finally able to make such a happy announcement.
But it's not natural for me to be selected.
I think it's a place that everyone longs for, so I'm firmly responsible for choosing it.
I'm glad I chose all my activities.
I'm glad I could see Mizushima.
I'd like to do activities that many people will think of.
Thank you very much.
That's wonderful.
You've done a lot of work.
I'm glad you went to the theater.
And Akiyama-chan, how have you been since you were 18 years old?
I've always had a big goal in mind.
I've been working hard to achieve it.
I didn't think it would come true so soon.
I'm really happy and full of emotions that you chose my 63rd song as your important single.
I think there are still many people who don't know about my 18th year.
I'll do my best to make AKB more popular.
I'll do my best to make you happy.
Please continue to support me.
Thank you very much.
Let's do our best together.
And Ayami.
I'm 16 years old.
It's been seven years since I made my debut today.
There were a lot of hard and frustrating things, but I did my best because I had motivation and because there were fans who waited for me all the time, so I was able to continue until today.
For my beloved AKB48, I will do my best with the members.
And I hope Yukirin-san's last single song will be a wonderful song and I hope I can help you with that. Thank you very much.
Four of you were chosen for the first time this time, but you'll be able to work with us again next time.
Manaka! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!
Congratulations! Thank you.
No, no, no.
How do you feel?
I feel like I've only been selling goods all day. Thank you so much!
Really!
But I feel like I got an award for doing my best as an MC today.
I don't feel like I'm superior or anything, but I'll do my best so that I can be the second Yukirin.
The second Yukirin.
I'll do my best so that I can aim for the Yukirin rank when I graduate.
Thank you so much!
As you saw in the video, I've been dreaming of becoming a singer for 17 years since I joined AKB.
I'm so happy that I can't even thank you enough.
To be honest, I was really worried about whether I would be able to be the center of a new song when I graduated.
But when I think about the faces of many fans who have supported me for 17 years and who have supported me for a long time,
I wanted to make everyone smile more and more in the end.
There have been many difficult things in the past 17 years, but if you keep working hard and having fun for a long time,
I hope you can tell everyone that good things will happen in the future.
Finally, as a reward for myself for working hard for 17 years in the end, I would like to pull out the last single and make a good song with everyone.
Everyone, please look forward to AKB's 63rd single! Thank you!
And this 63rd single will be released on March 13th, and you can apply for the official shop version as soon as 20 o'clock!
You might think you can't decide what you're going to do next year, but you can talk to everyone.
Once again, you can still shake hands and talk to the members, so please check out the official site of AKB48 from 20 o'clock!
Once again, thank you!
Thank you!
Well then, shall we listen to the last song?
Once again, for all of us, being able to watch Yukirin- san's solo concert for the last time
makes me very happy with the same feelings as all of us.
For 17 years, and especially for the past few years,
Yukirin-san has dared to push her juniors forward and forward
since she became what she is now, AKB.
She has been thinking about various things so that many people will know about us.
We can only thank you.
At the end, we want to do our best so that we can support Yukirin-san
shining in the center.
There are many things we are looking forward to.
Some of you may think of it as a happy announcement,
and of course, some of you may be frustrated at this moment.
But if you continue to have fun and do your best like Yukirin-san said,
there will definitely be good things.
If you look at Yukirin-san's back, I'm sure you all know that.
There are many mountains and valleys,
but we will continue to work hard with AKB48 while supporting each other.
It's a little like what I said earlier, but...
This is really the last song.
Please listen to it. "Cherry Blossoms".
At the classroom's window is a warm sunset, and a little bit of spring calendar left.
If you leave it to me during class, you'll wear the same uniform.
Comrades look like adults.
We're going on a journey to each of our futures, aren't we?
With dreams on your back.
As long as our petals bloom, we'll be able to go somewhere.
Just as beautiful as those memories are, they're right in front of me.
[applause]
Once again, thank you for coming today.
Thank you very much!
After this, all the members of the cast will see you off. Please wait in the audience until you receive instructions from the person in charge.
And in commemoration of the 18th anniversary, I would like to give you one VR Square's AKB48 Plus Channel 10-day free viewing rights.
Yay!
I'll hand it over at the exit, so if you haven't registered yet or haven't seen it yet, please give it a try!
And I also took a group photo with all the cast members before opening!
That one is also on sale in the lobby, so please get it and go home in commemoration of today!
So, is it okay?
Yes! Let's say our last greetings!
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for watching VR!
Eighteen.
I'll go now.
Thank you, VR viewers.
Hat.
Happy 20th anniversary.
You're showing off your hat.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Hat.
Excuse me.
Bye-bye.
Thank you.
OK. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Thank you for the AKB48 18th anniversary special commemorative performance!
Yes, today, after revealing the coupling of this new song, there is also an announcement of the award of AKB48 members of ZIRE.
And finally, there was an announcement of the 63rd new single, but once again, welcome to the center!
I'm so happy!
Happy!
Thank you so much!
We'll do our best in the center!
So, this is the last anniversary concert of Atamoto, so about...
This is the 18th week.
I've been spending this day at the theater for about 17 years, so when I think of it as the last one, it makes me think a lot.
But in the end, I'm glad we were able to have such a fun concert with these members.
Thank you!
We're so happy, aren't we?
Yes, we are!
We're so happy!
And there was also an announcement of the selection of members, and Miyazuki, who also won Best Rookie Award, congratulated us on our selection!
Thank you!
How do you feel right now?
I was so happy to be able to spend this 18th anniversary concert with such wonderful fans at my favorite AKB48 theater like this!
Now that we've become selection members, we hope you'll continue to watch our concerts and send us lots of love, so please continue to support us!
Thank you!
We know!
We really do!
But the members here have all won first place in their own shows.
They're wonderful!
We admire you so much!
Yay!
You're envious, aren't you, Kirin and Robby?
I'm really envious!
You mean you don't want me anymore, right?
You're so cool!
Thank you for your hard work!
I'm not letting you do it anymore!
Congratulations on your 3rd anniversary!
We all made it!
We made it together!
Hinana somehow made me hold it!
And you know, we're support members, so we held it together!
Thank you for your support!
We hope that each member will shine in their own genre, and we hope you'll continue to work hard with AKB48 for the next year!
And we hope you'll continue to cherish this theater, so we hope you'll continue to support AKB48!
Thank you for your support!
