Good morning, everyone!
Good morning!
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z...
AKB48 is here!
Documentary of AKB48!
AKB48 Plus One!
A, Akihabara...
Akihabara!
Akihabara is where Chiodack is.
Chiodack is where Denkigai is.
Actually, Akihabara is not in Chiodack, but this is Akihabara for sure!
On December 8, 2005, AKB48 theater was born on 8th floor of Chiodack Sotokanda.
There are 250 seats.
This small theater is AKB48's home.
Every year on January 1, 2011, this theater holds reality show.
We're going to stand in a row.
The 16 members of the selection perform only once a year, in reality shows only.
Happy New Year! Let's have fun again this year!
Let's have fun!
AKB48 also started from this theater in 2011.
OK! Let's do it a little more!
Let's do it!
OK! Let's do it!
Cut!
At the end of summer 2011,
for the first time in six months, a new secret project started.
It was to form a band with AKB48.
It was AKB version.
This and...
And this is it.
That's all it looks like.
From that day, selection members' instrument training began.
Here we go!
The rest of it is up to you.
If you can't keep up with the rhythm, you're all done for.
We're all done for!
That's how we do it, but I want you to see it.
That's it, that's it.
How do you do it here?
We have no choice but to do it slowly.
That's right.
The members took advantage of their busy schedules and practiced individually.
Oh, I can't do it.
You don't have to play it now.
It's tiring.
One month after practice began...
And then, three months passed, and the members started to improve their skills little by little.
Sometimes, practice would end late at night.
It's been half a year since I started practicing.
In their first single "Give Me Five" in 2012, the first band in the AKB48 history, Baby Blossom, was formed.
"C" - Coming of Age Ceremony!
Coming of Age Ceremony! Yeah!
January 9th, 2012, 5.30 am.
At the AKB48 theater, they were busy preparing for the coming of age ceremony.
What is "gokitou"?
"Gokitou" is...
Sakamina says it's "shichigo-san".
You say it too?
"Shitoseame"?
Give me "shitoseame".
Which convenience store?
Convenience store.
Sakamina says "shichigo-san".
It's like a guardian has come with you.
Do you want to see it?
"Shichigo-san", look at it.
AKB48's "golden generation" born in 1991,
are celebrating their coming of age ceremony this year.
golden generation
I joined AKB when I was 14 years old.
I passed my coming of age ceremony this year, too.
I'm 21 years old now.
I'm already a mature woman.
I still have a young man's heart and a young woman's heart.
I think I have to keep evolving and changing where I need to change.
I'll do my best as much as I can.
I want to be an adult who can listen to others.
I want to study composing.
I've seen it somewhere, but I've never heard of it.
I'm getting interested in it.
I want to challenge things I've never done before.
From now on, I don't just rely on my parents.
I want to be a mature adult who can live on my own.
I want to ride a car.
I want to travel far.
I'm sorry.
Only in 1991, I turned into an adult just now!
In order for everyone to see me in good condition, I took some of your time before I came up to the stage.
What do you think?!
Thank you very much!
Today, we have 15 new adults who have turned 20.
We will continue to do our best!
Please continue to support us!
Thank you very much!
Dance!
There are about 500 songs of AKB48 songs in total.
For that reason, they practice singing and dancing anywhere and anytime.
I fell in love with you and I couldn't put it into words.
e
election
selection!
The usual AKB48 "selection and election"
The fans vote to decide the order of the members.
An unprecedented event!
In order to repay you...
In the first "selection and election",
Real-life "ace" Atsuko Maeda was chosen first.
Yuko Oshima!
Please follow me.
In the second "selection and election", Yuko Oshima took the center position.
And the third "selection and election" began!
My heart is pounding.
I think there is a lot of pressure on Mako and Yoko.
The first place is...
Thank you for watching over me so warmly.
And thank you for supporting me like this!
All the members are irreplaceable comrades and also the strongest rivals.
Perhaps they themselves have helped national idols grow.
In 2011, all five singles released by akb48 exceeded one million copies.
Since their debut in 2006, the total sales of 25 singles have reached 11.78 million copies.
They set a record of being the first female group in history.
In 2011, they won numerous awards such as "glasses dresser" and "fan of the year".
And finally, they won "the Japanese record target" of the year, and along with their fame, they grew into the number one group in Japan.
"g" - global.
Now, not only in Japan, but also abroad, AKB48 is gaining popularity.
When the members arrive at the airport, many foreign fans rush in.
An official shop is opened in Taiwan.
A grand ceremony is held.
An overseas first AKB cafe is also opened in Singapore.
Many local media are involved and gathered topics.
It's amazing! I'm moved! It's surreal!
It's cute! It's so cute!
Everyone is so kind!
But I think it's because I learned Japanese!
It's really a hobby!
At the second Japan-only music festival held in Vietnam,
the winner received a thank you letter.
Was the music festival in Vietnam good?
Yes!
Even overseas, AKB48 is as popular as Japan,
and is growing into a global idol group.
In the fall of 2011,
HKT48 was born in Fukuoka.
Everyone! Nice to meet you!
The average age is 13.9 years old and the youngest in the 48 group.
In a dedicated theater in Fukuoka City, there is a stage where the tip of the flower path rises and rotates.
Injection!
Every year in winter, AKB48 holds an influenza preventive injection session where all members participate.
Then, for the first time ever, let's see AKB's injection session.
Can you inject it?
Can you inject it, Boco-chan?
Boco-chan, can you inject it?
She's trying really hard.
Inject it, Boco-chan.
Are you okay?
Are you okay, Boco-chan?
Ah! My face!
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!
It doesn't hurt anymore! It hurts!
It hurts!
I can't do it! I can't do it!
I can't do it!
She's trying so hard!
She said "ah" a lot.
You don't have to worry about it because you're an idol.
Ah, you can do it!
You've been running away, so I brought you here.
You didn't take it?
You said you didn't want it.
You're fast!
Wait a minute!
Stop!
It hurts so much!
You said you didn't want it, but you said you wanted it.
A picture of you giving an injection.
Is it over?
It hurts!
Help me!
By the way, the members who escaped that day were five people, including Yuko Oshima.
The next day, all of them received preventive injections.
In order to create a sister group based abroad, which is the first of the akb48 project,
an audition was held in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Out of about 1,200 applicants, only 28 passed.
In the fall of 2011, jkt48 was born in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The audition was held in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Heavy Rotation
Kei! Kageana!
Kageana!
I'm nervous.
AKB48's live performances and announcements in theaters -
- so-called "kageana"
- are being held behind-the-scenes.
Finally! Finally!
While livening up the venue, as a place where they can appeal to themselves, the members are cherishing their "shadow holes".
AKB48's...
This is a luxurious place, but everyone...
We are very excited, too!
That voice is well conveyed to us, too!
I'm glad it's a different voice!
I'm really grateful that this is where it started!
And finally, everyone, together...
Hokkaido is...
Thank you very much!
Some of them have little experience...
Team 4 and I had a lot of fun, too!
Please come again!
Yes! Team 4, I'm Haruka Shimada!
At the end of "Shadow Hole"...
You said, "Please come again."
"Please come again" is something many people have never seen before!
"Come again" is what you want to say, right?
Yes!
That's what you should say!
Yes!
For AKB48, even one "Shadow Hole" is a serious match!
Today...
I'm really...
I'm glad I came to Sendai!
All we can do, and well, all we can do is sing and dance and cheer you up.
I hope you will always be smiling.
We are all smiling.
Let's make a bright Japan together with a smile!
Thank you for today! I'm Ayako Oshima!
Leader!
When all 48 groups gather, there are more than 200 people.
At this time, Team A captain Minami Takahashi is in charge of organizing the whole thing.
Gathering is really slow.
It's not enough.
Don't laugh at Team A!
Team A didn't give us the script!
Hey!
You can't change your mind!
Shut up!
Shut up, all of you!
Sometimes, it's Takahashi's role to be strict with his juniors.
It's the first big stage where all the members will perform.
It happened during the rehearsal of the Save Dome concert.
Since we're at the Save Dome, let's do it.
While Takahashi was being careful, Maeda Atsuko spoke up for the juniors for the first time.
You can't do the same thing as us.
It might be a bad example for you.
But you can't do the same thing.
Even if you do it in the same way, it's different!
Think about it and do it!
Yes!
Answer us!
Yes!
If we're not there, you'll be the next ones to leave!
I want you to leave!
Be stronger!
Yes!
I don't want you to get angry.
I want you to have fun.
It's good to talk and it's good to have fun, but let's do it properly when we do it.
Yes!
Maeda's feelings at the time...
I wanted them to know why we're standing here.
It's not like we're standing here for nothing.
We want AKB48 to go as far as possible.
That's what we feel.
I won't say any more, though.
I don't think I have anything more to say.
"MIX"!
AKB48's live performance is well-known for...
"MIX", or "LOVE HANDS".
LION! FIRE! CYBER! VIBER! CYBER! VIBER! LION!
STORA! HEAD! GATO! SERE!
STORA! HEAD! GATO!
IN!
NEXT GENERATION!
May 2011.
New 12th generation 9 members joined AKB48.
And in November, 13th generation 16 members joined AKB48.
I'm 13th generation 16 members. Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you!
In addition, 13th generation 5 members joined SKE48 in Nagoya.
In NMB48 in Osaka, 23th generation 2 members became new friends.
In NMB48 in Nagoya, 23th generation 5 members joined SKE48 in Nagoya.
I want to move forward step by step and shine on this stage.
When I'm on stage, I think I'm number one and I want to do my best.
I want to absorb the good points of my seniors as soon as possible and perform on stage so that more people can enjoy it.
O! OVERTURE!
OVERTURE!
AKB48!
AKB48 starts with this Overture no matter what kind of live performance.
This is a tradition since the theater opened in Akihabara.
When this song is played, the audience gets excited and the tension of the members also increases.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
This is the voice of this powerful overture!
A-K-B-48!
"P" Pink Ribbon!
Pink Ribbon!
December 8th, 2011.
A pink ribbon was put up on the theater's pillar.
I'm nervous.
Did it fit?
Yes, it did.
P
It fit!
It was close.
It fit.
Wow!
P
Every year on the birthday of "A-K-B-48",
the number of pink ribbons increases one by one.
"A-K-B-48" celebrated its sixth anniversary that day.
One, two, three, four, five...
I think it's our seventh anniversary.
It's our sixth or seventh anniversary.
Our seventh anniversary?
I joined "A-K-B-48"
a year after "A-K-B-48" was formed.
So, today,
when I see "A-K-B-48" and "A-K-B-48" in a line,
I feel the importance of this year
that "A-K-B-48" and "A-K-B-48" have built for me every year.
Congratulations on your sixth anniversary!
Congratulations!
It may differ from person to person,
but "A-K-B-48" was born on that day.
All members and staff,
please thank your fans.
Some of you may be fans of "A-K-B-48" six years ago,
and some of you may be fans of "A-K-B-48" now.
Let's enjoy "A-K-B-48"!
Let's celebrate "A-K-B-48"!
"Q", "coin"
Queen
September 20th, 2011, the second rock-paper- scissors tournament was held at Nihon Budokan.
Players, please aim for the center position and fight proudly.
I'm nervous. I brought something like rock-paper- scissors.
Oh, you're right.
I'll do my best.
Rock-paper-scissors!
Why?
I've decided so much.
Rock-paper-scissors!
The final match is...Shinoda Mariko vs. Fujii Reina.
Go! Go! Go!
Amazing!
I want to cry!
Amazing!
Thank you very much!
Amazing!
You did it!
As expected of today's girls!
It's my first center position in the selection, so I'd like to make it a wonderful single!
Thank you in advance!
Shinoda Mariko has won her first center position as queen!

AKB48 Kouhaku Taikou Utagassen was held for the first time.
A total of 155 members participated in Utagassen, divided into red and white groups.
HKT48 and Jakarta's JKT48 also participated.
Red souls are blazing! Do your best!

White team, let's win!
The rules are to sing songs other than your own songs.
Iso, Mama, Yuko-chan!
Yuko!
She made it! Miraculously! It's very short!
Now I'm going to make Sassy give up.
I'm going to make her be in the center position.
When will you come out?
Now!
Today!
Original costumes, directing and passionate performance attracted a large number of fans.
As you can see from the side, I was very excited and excited.
When I said "dear j", I said I wanted to say "good afternoon".
Well, a little...
At "good afternoon", how do you say it? LINE also...
Oh, you wrote it!
I wrote it! I wrote it!
Oh, you wrote it!
Oh, you wrote it on your lips?
It's getting better on my lips.
Shiro! Shiro! Shiro! Shiro!

Thank you! Thank you!
The first round was won by the white team led by Yuko Oshima.
What is this?
Hey, winning at the end of the year is still pleasant.
Shake hands!
An indispensable event for akb48.
That is, shake hands with fans.
In 2011, we held more than 40 shake hands and the highest number of fans was 80,000 per day.
At shake hands, we announced and announced various surprises.
akb48 24th single selection rock-paper-scissors tournament!
It will be held!
This is too much for human beings!
It's not enough at all!
Also, the members who were on leave greeted each other again during the handshake session.
Thank you for being here.
Next year, I will be active as a member of a team somewhere.
Even now that AKB48 has grown into a national idol group,
fans still value each and every idol concept.
This is AKB48's general manager and theater director, Tomonobu Togasaki.
I'm Tomonobu Togasaki, theater director.
Today...
Since they were formed, they appear in front of fans from time to time.
That's why no one in the fans doesn't know Togasaki's name.
If Togasaki suddenly appears during a performance,
there will definitely be some kind of surprise!
Team...
Voice!
Team...
Voice!
I'm the staff of the taxi shop that comes twice a month.
Of course, he works as a member of a team,
and as a manager, he also takes care of the members.
It's a mikoshi.
It's so small!
Listening to the fans' opinions is also an important job for him.
Through dancing and singing, you want to appeal yourself, right?
I want you to imitate a perfect maeda, but it doesn't matter.
I want you to express your feelings of wanting to do your best,
or wanting to go higher in your performance.
There's a certainty that you're doing your best.
So don't cry.
It can't be helped if you cry.
Even if you cry, you'll still do your best, right?
Yes.
Next time, change your mind and do your best!
That's all.
Thank you!
Hot! Hot!
Undergirls!
In the general election, the members from 22nd to 40th place
They are called "undergirls" and sing a single coupling song.
Undergirls
The teacher will handwrite the number for you.
Yay! Zero!
Thank you very much, everyone!
Thank you!
I will do my best to dance!
In the general election, Umeda, who was in 22nd place, was assigned the center position for the first time.
"Undergirls" dream of being elected members of the next term and continue their efforts.
I was very happy with the number given to me by my fans, so it became a very good music video.
Thank you very much.
It's a wonderful music video. I was able to succeed.
Voice actress
"AKB48" TV animation voice actress audition, which will start in December, was held in December.
30 members of the group advanced to the final screening.
In the end, 9 members will be selected.
Nice to meet you. I'd like to do an attractive job. Nice to meet you.
My dream since I was five years old was to be a voice actress.
Team A, Sayaka Nakaya. Her dream is to become a voice actress.
In fact, on the day of this audition, she had multiple events at her agency.
Her dream of becoming a voice actress was well- known to fans.
One wish of the Nakaya fans who gathered at the event is...
I want you to go to the voice actress audition without appearing in the event.
With such fans' thoughts in her heart, Nakaya headed for the voice actress audition.
Help me!
That's what I want to be, AKB 0048!
Thank you.
AKB48 Team A, Sayaka Nakaya.
Actually, I have an event in my office tonight, and it was worthwhile for me to come here to participate in it in the middle of it. Thank you very much. Please take care of me from now on.
Among the nine members, Nakaya was chosen, and her dream of becoming a voice actress took one step forward.
After that, she went to the fans of the event venue.
The place where fans and dreams come true.
That is AKB48.
Costumes!
For three days, about 900 costumes appeared at the concert in the western dome.
They are made in their own costumes room.
The costumes designed according to the image of each song are adjusted by hand according to the members' characters and styles.
Last year, 1,700 costumes were made in one year.
Ms. Kayano Shinobu, who has been in charge of costumes since the formation of AKB48.
For the members, she is like an older sister.
In December 2011, record-breaking costumes were made in the costumes room.
Costumes are decorated one by one by hand.
With the cooperation of such staff, the gorgeous stage of akb48 is born.
On December 25, 2011, a Christmas performance was held at akb48 theater.
On the same day, the six members were in Minami- souma city, Fukushima Prefecture, as the eighth disaster area visit.
They invited local children, held mini-lives and gave Christmas presents, and spent a day.
Merry Christmas!
Yummy!
Oh, it's good!
Yummy!
I did it!
I can't see anything.
Ah!
My head is numb, but my teeth are numb.
Yum!
What flavor is it?
Yum!
Lunchtime!
Yum!
I'm happy!
Huh?
This is good!
Shanghai Crab was better.
Well, it's hard to say. Both were good!
Yeah, this is the best!
Z
Zero
"Zero"!
On the stage of the theater,
there is a number indicating where you stand.
For AKB48 members,

The members stand for "zero position" and dream of standing in the center and continue their efforts.

Again this year, "real performance" will be held in this AKB48 theater.

They have broken various records and climbed up to becoming Japan's representative idol group in 2011.
AKB48 started from this Akihabara theater in 2012 as well, so that they would never lose their originality.
Akihabara was founded in 1911 and it was founded in 1912.
I'm so excited!
I'm running on the road.
I'm hurt and I'm sad.
I'm sad and I'm sad.
