AKB48 worked in the past!
AKB48 will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2025.
In AKB48's 20 years of history, this is AKB48's best part.
It is a program that posts AKB48's ambitions and future generations.
There are 17 members in AKB48.
SAHO, which generation are you in?
Why?
Which generation?
Don't divide me by generation.
I'm the oldest member in AKB48.
I'm working with the members of AKB48.
Thank you for your cooperation today.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I'm relieved that SAHO is with me.
We're all on a show together, so we're relieved.
But it's like kindergarten.
It's like the same generation.
It's like SAHO is closing it for me.
AKB48 will celebrate its 20th anniversary.
20 years ago, ELLY wasn't born yet.
I'm not alive.
You're not alive, are you?
That's right.
It's not in my stomach, either.
How old are you?
I'm 18 years old now.
I see. First of all, you're not alive.
We're 20 years old.
That's right.
We're about the same age.
I was born in 2005, so I think I'm about zero years old when AKB48 was formed.
I see.
That's right.
Did you choose AKB48 among many idols?
Yes, but I also like AKB because of AKB48, but anyway, AKB48's costumes are cute, aren't they?
I know, I know.
I wanted to wear that costume, and I was thinking of going to a clothing store and making costumes for those idols.
I didn't know.
I got used to wearing it, and I fell in love with this costume and joined AKB.
I see.
That's wonderful.
It's the first time you know, isn't it?
I didn't say it much.
Certainly, AKB's charms are costumes and theaters, but I think there are a lot of songs and famous songs that resonate with everyone's hearts, and I think there are a lot of really good lyrics, so I'd like to talk about them with this theme this time.
Today's theme is...
AKB48's famous songs that influenced me the most!
Wow! Famous songs!
There are a lot of famous songs.
With this theme, I'd like one person to talk about AKB48's love for three minutes, and I'd like AKB48 viewers to brainwash in their favorite ways.
I'd like to start with Mayu Masai.
Mayu-chan, are you ready?
Yes!
Ready...
Start!
The song that influenced me the most is...
"First Day"!
It's this song.
When I think about it, it's the first song I fell in love with AKB48.
And of course, like I said earlier, I bought AKB48's album "神曲たち" for the first time, and this is the song that's included in it.
I've been doing cardio since I was about four years old, and today I've overcome my own wall and met this tough lesson in lyrics.
The chance window opens up, and before a competition or something like that, my mother often calls me in the car.
It's a song that has strong memories of my family.
As an AKB48 member, there are times when I'm frustrated or have a hard time when I'm working,
but sometimes I cry without dancing alone, and sometimes I lose confidence.
It's a wonderful song that can change those dark feelings into bright ones.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who like it on their first day, and it's really a "神曲" song,
but I'm sure you all have memories along with the lyrics, so I hope you listen to it a lot.
It's a song that gave me the idea of liking AKB48, so it's a song I recommend.
Is it over?
It's over.
It's difficult.
It's a long three minutes.
"Let's dance with all our might," "Let's sing with all our might," "Let's not forget our confidence," "Let's do our best,"
When it's a live show, there's a sense of unity with the fans, and it's a "call and response."
When we ask, the fans give us a hot response, so it's a lot of fun to do it live.
And...
We always perform in front of this song.
So, this song has been passed down for generations.
As we perform it, we feel the history of AKB48.
And we always do it with the feeling of opening up our era.

- But I feel like it's going to be like that. - Yes!
- What were you looking at, Mayu-chan? - The lyrics!
- The lyrics? - Yes!
- While looking at the lyrics... - While looking at the lyrics...
- Like this... - It's amazing!
- Your face is probably barely visible. - Huh?
- It's not that visible, is it? - You're introducing me with all your might!
- Like episodes while you're performing... - Ah, like that!
- This is not just for people who like AKB. - Yes!
- There are people who don't know about it. - That's true!
- Like "You have a song called "First Day", right?" - Yes!
- If you start with people who know about it, - Yes!
- there might be people who can't keep up with you. - Yes!
- I got a new sense of value, - Yes!

- Then...
- Start!
- Yes! Hello everyone!
- I'm AKB48's 17 year old Ai-chan, also known as Sato Airi!
- Do you know about me?
- Yes, you don't know about me, do you?
- Yes! The song that influenced me the most... - Yes! You don't know about me, do you?
- Yes! The song that influenced me the most... - You said you didn't know about me!
- The song that influenced me the most is...
- "Big Voice Diamond"
- Yes! I think a lot of people know about this song,
- but I, who have now become AKB48, will explain the good points of this song.
- This song "Big Voice Diamond"
- One of the songs that influenced me the most was "Big Voice Diamond"
- I liked "Big Voice Diamond" before I joined AKB48,
- but when I made my debut as a 17 year old research student,
- I was able to be in the center position for the first time with "Big Voice Diamond"
- I think this song was a turning point for AKB48 as well.
- Not only the lyrics, but also the costumes...
- When I said "AKB", I got the impression of "Red Check"
- I think this song had a big influence on me.
- What I like about "Big Voice Diamond" and what I think is "God's Song"
- is that as soon as the intro starts,
- In this song, the concert venue is dyed with Big Voice Diamond's color.
- It's like "it's started!"
- That's what I like about it.
- Recently, I had my hearing repaired.
- When I had my hearing repaired, I performed "Big Voice Diamond"
- It had a big influence on me as well.
- Of course, this song is AKB48's representative song.
Some of you may not know this song, but if you don't know it, please listen to it now.
And of course, the performance is also a video of AKB48 seniors who are called "previous century".
The "big voice diamond" that AKB is promoting now is really passionate and I am also performing with all my might.
The part where I shout "I love you" with my fans is my favorite part.
When I always perform at concerts, when I say "I love you", everyone looks me in the eye.
I really like that, so please listen to "big voice diamond" at concerts.
Bye bye.
- You're really good at it. - You're a genius.
- You're really good at talking. - I was nervous.
- You're amazing. - I have a lot of thoughts, but first of all, I want to introduce myself.
- That's right, I was worried about that at first. - Really?
- I was wondering where you were going. - Yes.
But I think it's a great introduction because it tells you the history of the song and what kind of song it is for AKB.
- You did it. - It's better than before, isn't it?
I heard a lot of PR for the song, but don't you have a lot of stories about you?
- Was it a lot? - Was it?
- Is that so? But it's a show for the next generation of members. - That's right.
- I thought I should tell you about it. - That's right.
- I hope you know about it. - You have a good heart.
I want you to know about me and the song.
- Then, the youngest, Eri-chan! - Yes!
- Eri-chan! - I'm going!
- Then... - Yes!
- Eri-chan, are you ready? - Yes! OK!
Then let's go!
- Ready, go! - OK! I'm Shimoto Eriko.
The song that influenced me is...
"Kimi wa Boku da".
It's a solo song by Maeda Atsuko.
Before I fell in love with AKB48,
I fell in love and admired Maeda Atsuko.
That's how I got to know AKB48.
Maeda Atsuko has released many solo songs.
Among them, "Kimi wa Boku da" is my favorite song.
Among Maeda Atsuko's fans,
many people say that "Kimi wa Boku da" is a love letter to Maeda Atsuko.
The lyrics of "Kimi wa Boku da" are also very good.
At the end of the chorus of "Kimi wa Boku da",
there is a lyric that says, "Even if you're worried and clumsy and lose, you won't change with a smile. I like you."
I like the lyrics of "Kimi wa Boku da" very much.
I can sympathize with the clumsy parts of the song.
I sang this song at the audition, and it's still in my memory.
I was very nervous at the audition,
and I was about to cry when the lyrics came out.
When I heard the lyrics, I sang with a smile for the first time.
It's still in my memory.
I like Maeda Atsuko very much.
Every time I listen to this song, I remember going back to my early days and auditioning, so it's a song that I listen to when I want to go back to my early days or when I have a lot of trouble.
The song and the bright music video are also very gentle and story-oriented, so if you haven't seen it yet, I definitely want you to watch it.
I love both the music video and the song, so I hope you'll listen to it.
I think it's a very good song.
Everyone, please listen to it.
Oh, it's over.
It's difficult.
It's difficult, isn't it?
But I think I was able to tell you what I like about the song.
I've always known what you like, Maeda Atsuko, but I felt again that you like it so much in these three minutes.
I think it's also a song that made me join AKB.
I'm very grateful for this song.
No one's looking at you.
I made a mistake.
I'm curious about the song.
The first song.
The song I like the most, even if I get caught up in it.
But I thought you had that Eri-chan quality.
But what surprises me more than anything is that you're so serious when you're dancing.
That's right.
I used to think that synchronized dancing was colder.
What kind of era did you live in?
I had the image of rushing in and my synchronized dancing was like that.
It's too common for us to praise each other like this.
I don't know what to say anymore.
I'm in trouble.
That's true.
If you ask me, it might be like that.
Praise...
Peaceful members are gathering.
I was surprised.
Are you so serious?
On the contrary, this is too common for us.
Oh, I see.
If you ask me, I think I'm the one who's serious.
Like a cafe?
I thought it was tea.
Next is...
Sora-chan.
Zaki.
Here we go.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for the camera.
All of a sudden?
Please pay attention to Sora-chan's body and hands.
Let's get started.
Are you ready?
Yes.
One, two...
Start!
Yes, I'm 17-year-old Sora Horarako and Yamazaki.
My song is...
Ta-da!
It's "Anchorette" in November.
"Anchorette" in November is...
It is!
"Anchorette" in November is...
a song chosen by Mayan Watanabe, my first love of idols.
I fell in love with AKB48 when I was in kindergarten or when I was little.
When I turned on the TV, cute idols were dancing and I thought...
They are cute!
"They are cute!" and I started to be interested in idols.
Among them, Mayu Watanabe caught my eye first.
She is really cute and... how do you say it? "Gugen"? "Gugenka"?
She is really cute and I started to be interested in idols.
First of all, I fell in love with idols and AKB48.
I started to see various idols from there.
First of all, the survey in November was my beginning.
Then, the second one.
The second one?
That's right. Why am I mentioning the second one?
Double song.
It's a double song, but...
It's "memohamolumer".
The next song I fell in love with.
I like all of them, but...
This song moved my life.
"memohamolumer"...
We couldn't go to school because of COVID-19.
When I saw "memohamolumer" at that time, I thought...
AKB48 now is...
"AKB48 now is..." It was good in the past, but...
"memohamolumer" is really different and cool.
I thought it had a different charm and I came back to AKB48.
"memohamolumer".
At that time, I found an announcement for the 17th generation of auditions.
I thought I should apply for it.
"memohamolumer".
That's how I auditioned for the 17th generation.
Then, suddenly...
Suddenly...
"memohamolumer".
It's a good thing.
It's a good thing, isn't it?
The lyrics?
We only have 30 seconds left.
Can you say it?
As I said earlier and in the past...
AKB in the past was good, but AKB now is good too.
It's in the lyrics of "nemohomoreba" too.
"Ponytail and Shushu"?
Because back in the day, there were "ponytail" and "shushu" lyrics.
It's in those lyrics too, and you can feel their growth.
It's in those lyrics too, and I thought it was nice!
Time's up!
It's hard!
There's things I want to say, but...
There's a lot of things I can't say!
I can't reach it! I can't reach it!
Oh, it went somewhere!
It was hard!
But it's your first time releasing two songs, right?
Yeah, it's my first!
So I thought it'd be enough to talk about two songs for three minutes.
One song would be a little too much...
Two songs...
Two songs might have been too much.
You panicked for 30 seconds, didn't you?
Yeah, I was surprised for 30 seconds!
I was like, "Oh my god!"
You said you had a lot of earaches earlier, but you didn't have any at first, did you?
But as it got to the second half of the song, I felt like I couldn't hold down my right hand.
You were like that for the last 10 seconds.
I was like that.
You're turning it around, aren't you?
When you have a sketchbook, your hands...
They go down, don't they?
But when you talk about it, you can't stop!
You say "ponki ponki"!
I can hear you so far...
It's really hard.
I think there are a lot of people who auditioned for Nemohama Rumor because of it.
I did, too!
It just happened!
When I was 17 and auditioning for Nemohama Rumor, it was the release period of Nemohama Rumor.
Wait, I thought you were there at the time!
I was wondering what you were doing!
I thought you were watching us from the outside, and I was surprised you were there.
That's right!
I didn't come in from there.
That's right, you weren't there.
No, you weren't.
So, Nemohamoluma is amazing, and we didn't think we'd come in and dance!
We'll dance!
When we auditioned, we were like, "Wow, they're so cool!"
It's like a dream for us to come in and dance to Nemohamoluma.
Lastly, the veteran, Iwatate Saho!
Please!
That's not good!
Veteran!
Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
Then, start!
OK!
The song that I, Iwatate Saho, was most influenced by is this!
Ta-da!
"Jibun rashisa" (selfishness)
This is a song in the album "kamikyokutachi" (god songs) that Masai Mayu-chan mentioned earlier.
It was a song I played before I joined AKB.
It's actually the first album I bought with "kamikyokutachi".
As I've been watching AKB for a long time...
Well, in the first place, I've liked idols since I was a kid and I've grown up with them.
Even though I want to stand on stage one day,
in the past, the part of me being a "hikkomi jian" was more amazing than it is now.
I didn't think I could become like that.
Well, from middle school, I went to a middle and high school.
It was a regular so-called "new school",
and I thought I was going to take a college entrance exam.
At the time, I was living a normal school life.
But I still can't give up my admiration for them since I was a kid.
I secretly auditioned for them all the time.
And that's when I met this song.
The lyrics of this song are like, "As you grow up, life is not eternal," and "Your personality is different," and "There are many futures for you to choose," and when I listened to the lyrics, I realized again that if you give up what you want to do here, you will definitely regret it.
Really, this lyrics and my feelings at that time were very linked, and when this album was released, I had a routine of listening to the album for a week before going to bed every night and then going to bed.
It's not the last song, but I'm sure I'll listen to this song one last time and make up my mind and go to bed, but that's what I was doing at the time, so I think this song was the most influential for me to audition for AKB48, and it was really big for me.
Until then, when I was a college student, I thought I had to live a normal life, so I think this song gave me courage.
So, if you're in a daze right now, or if you're wondering if you should really do this, you know what life is like, right? So, I hope you'll listen to this song quietly at that time.
Wow!
When I listened to it when I was a college student, I felt like I was about to cry and my heart was shaken.
Thank you for your speech.
But in the last three seconds, you were laughing and laughing for three seconds, so it was amazing.
Taho-san's presence was also amazing.
It's true that I thought I'd do it, but I'm glad it's only three minutes. I can't go any further.
That's right.
Five minutes is enough, isn't it?
Can I say one thing?
What is it?
I was looking at the lyrics carefully.
I saw it thoroughly.
But I had written it down here, but you didn't talk about it at all.
That's right. I also wrote it down, but when it comes to it, I can't look at it at all.
I know.
You have to talk about it and you have to look at it, and you can't catch up with it.
I know.
But it's still amazing.
I also chose a song among Kami's songs.
I think I bought the same album at the same time as you and listened to it.
It's like we're close.
It's amazing.
I believe you.
By the way, how old were you?
Maybe five years old or six years old.
That's right.
Ten years old.
That's right.
I was in middle school and high school.
Fifteen years old.
Looking at it like that, it feels like we're pretty far apart.
It's strange that we're active together at our age now.
But in a sense, it's amazing that we're active together now knowing each other's AKB of various eras.
Ten years is amazing.
It's amazing again.
I want to support AKB for a long time.
It's like a declaration of war.
Declaration of war?
All of a sudden?
There are a lot of songs that have influenced you, and some of you may think that the situation is similar, so please listen to it.
How was it?
We don't usually give presents, do we?
It's been a while since I spoke in front of people like this, and I'm a little nervous.
Speaking in front of people makes me nervous, and I want to give myself more power to speak.
In 2025, I want to train so that I can speak a lot. As this program.
As this program.
I was able to hear things that I didn't know about AKB48, and I was able to know the good points of AKB48 songs again.
When I got home, I thought I'd listen to the song you recommended again, so I hope you'll listen to it a lot.
So far, it's the first time we've done it together, and it's a little fluffy, but I think we've been able to convey a lot of charm.
Goodbye!
