AISubs v3.5
It's on sale!
AKB48 selection members and...
Coupling Center! Everyone together!
Special!
Good evening, everyone! I'm Asai Nanami of AKB48 Team B.
Yay yay! Nanami!
I'm Taguchi Manaka of Team K.
Manaka!
I'm Ayami of Team 4, also known as Nagato Mayumi.
Ayami!
I'm Sei-chan of Team A, also known as Fukuoka Seina.
Sei-chan!
I'm Tokonaga Remi of Team A and Team B, also known as Tottori Prefecture.
Remi-chan!
Today, AKB48's 61st single "doushite mo kimi ga suki da" has been released!
Yay!
With that said, the five of us here are in charge of the coupling song center, right?
That's right!
The three of us in front of you are...
dareda
"dareda", right?
"dareda", and...
I'm in charge of cooking, and I'm in charge of playing jokes.
And...
I'm in charge of "wonderland" in "sirial".
Wow!
That's right.
The five of us.
The five of you are MCs?
Have you heard of it before?
No, I haven't.
The moment you saw it, you were like "what's this?"
The five of you are MCs.
It's quite rare for us to work together.
That's right.
That's how it is.
Since we're in charge of the coupling song center, we'll be MCing for you this time.
I hope you'll enjoy it until the end!
Please do!
By the way, have you already heard of your center song "fruitshaku"?
We have!
"dareda", how was it?
"dareda" is...
A lot of fans asked us where we sang "ayami" before.
And...
If I say it now, I sang it with "maraka" and "naami".
Their voices are easy to understand, but I thought it might be hard for me to understand.
But if you listen carefully, you'll understand.
So I hope you'll give it a listen.
If you listen to it with your earphones, you'll be able to hear it more clearly.
That's right.
I hope you'll listen to it with your earphones.
Please do.
How about you, Seina-san?
Yes!
I listened to "desert of" and I saw the part where you played "sayonara mori" on TV.
But I haven't seen the full MV yet.
I see.
I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Me too.
When we performed "siren" live in this theater, we performed "wonderland".
I see!
I hope a lot of people will listen to it again.
That's nice.
I was like, "is Remitan like a college student?"
You said that, didn't you?
We're like friends.
We're like 19-year-olds.
I thought you were younger than me.
When I heard you were 16 years old, I thought you were doing your best.
You're young.
I thought you were young.
You're still in second year of high school.
Yes.
The 16 members of "doushite mo kimi ga suki ta" have finished their events at a record store in Shibuya and are on their way to this theater.
I heard it was a big success.
They're already late.
Really?
They're even later than we expected.
Really?
Maybe we're starting to introduce ourselves as selection members.
We don't know when they'll come, so I hope you'll watch it until the end.
I hope you'll join us as soon as we arrive.
I hope you'll look forward to it until then.
Please do.
This program is broadcast simultaneously on YouTube Live, TikTok Live, Insta Live, akb48, live on demand, and vrsquare akb48 plus channels.
Wow!
There are so many!
Five?
Five!
Wow!
You can see Sena and Remita's comments now, right?
Yes!
We're looking at your comments on YouTube Live.
There's been a little bit of a time lag.
That's true.
Remita's "jk" story and our "jk" Remita.
Thank you very much.
Thank you!
It's still being posted!
See?
Right?
Connect with Taguchi's Mandan.
If we don't do our best, it's really...
But our MC power is...
That's right!
Since there are five of us today...
That's right.
We want to do our best.
Yes, and we're currently looking for your posts on Twitter.
Please add #I absolutely love you and tweet about what you like about the paper.
We may introduce you in the program!
We look forward to your many tweets!
Please look forward to it!
Please!
Yes.
So, in commemoration of today's release...
We were actually giving away CDs at the AKB Potato Theater earlier.
Yes.
Actually, it's been about 14 years since we gave out CDs to the fans in the theater in 2009.
Wow!
It's been 14 years!
Remi-tan is two years old!
Two years old!
Wow!
Two years old!
Wow!
It's been 14 years!
It's been 14 years since we gave out CDs!
That's right!
I can really feel the passage of time.
Yes.
This time, it was me, Nami, and Aimi who participated.
How was it, Nami?
When I was talking with the fans...
What I thought of was...
When we were 16 years old...
At the TDC Hall concert we went to one month after our first performance...
There was a contract for those of us who came.
It was nostalgic!
When we came to the theater with that contract...
We were able to talk with one of the members who wrote the contract after the performance.
It's nostalgic!
It's been a while!
It's been a while since we talked like this in a theater.
I thought, "That's right!"
That's right.
I thought, "That's nostalgic."
It was a pretty interesting scene.
It was really interesting!
Yes.
How about you, Aimi?
Eh? Usually...
When I go to a theater in my casual clothes...
I'm sorry!
Isn't your voice weird?!
No, it's not!
For me...
I had a stomachache...
Yes.
I think I had a cold...
Yes.
Um... what was it again?
Typhoid?
Yes, typhoid and liver dance allergies...
They all came at once!
Oh no!
I couldn't stop being hungry!
But I was very energetic!
Energetic!
That's good!
Yes!
It's not uncommon for me to meet fans in my casual clothes...
It was a strange and mysterious feeling...
Also, there were a lot of people who said "nice to meet you" to me...
Oh!
Some people said "this is my first time coming to a theater"
Also...
Some people said "this is my first time meeting you since I fell in love with you due to COVID-19"
I know!
There were people like that...
Wow! At a timing like this...!
If it was true, we were supposed to meet in May 6th and 7th...
But we met in person today...
So...
Some people said "6th and 7th, please calm down and let's talk!"
I'm happy!
That's right.
I thought it was really nice to meet in person...
Yes.
The curtain we're playing now...
When we were playing...
There was a large panel of selection members lined up there...
It was amazing!
The impact of it was also amazing...
I think it was a live show that only those who came can feel...
Yes.
How about you, Manaka?
I...
But...
That...
Amazing... Seats?
Yes.
The seats where the fans always sit...
I made it like a special booth...
Yes, I made it...
And...
There is a box where I put my clothes and shoes...
Yes, yes, yes...
I stacked up that box and made it look like a work of art...
Wow!
It's amazing!
The way you do it is very novel...
Yes...
This is also between the seats...
Yes!
Wow!
Because you did it...
Wow!
It's amazing...
If you do it every time...
It's fun for everyone...
Yes, it was fun...
I think it's an event that members can enjoy...
I thought...
The record company has also changed this time...
Yes...
So...
It's like going back to the beginning...
Ah...
I see...
Yes...
It's important...
It's like you said something good...
Don't look down...
It was like that...
Yes...
So...
Not only the theater...
Yes...
But also Ikebukuro branch of Tower Records...
Yes...
Kinshicho branch...
Yes...
Kawasaki branch...
Yes...
Yokohama branch...
Yes...
And also Ikebukuro branch of HMV...
Yes...
Shibuya branch...
Yes...
Who did you go with and where did you go?
Yes...
Um...
I went with Miyu Omori...
Yes...
And...
Yes...
And...
Yes...
The fans were all like "Kohina-chan is so cute!" and I think it was a great experience for me.
That's amazing.
Moving on, Ayami!
Yes!
Who did you go with and where did you go?
Ichikawa Manami-san, Ishiwata Sena-chan and I went to HM...
HM...
Are you okay?
I'm sorry.
We went to HMV Shibuya store.
That's amazing.
It's stylish, isn't it?
And it's not only here.
There's a picture of us running and cutting out a HMV.
We're really grateful for that.
Isn't there a sign?
A sign?
There's a sign for the members.
Yes, there's a sign for some of the Senwatsu members.
That's amazing.
Our store in Shibuya sold the regular version, but the regular version comes with a photo.
And Sena-chan participated in the HMV.
And on the spot, Sena-chan won.
That's amazing.
On the second round?
The person who came around said, "Sena-chan won."
It's a CD she received from herself.
And it has Sena-chan in it.
It'll be a memory for a lifetime.
That's what I thought.
It was a lot of fun.
What about you, Seina?
I went with Sato Kiara, Kohama Kokone, and Tower Records' Park Oten.
Kii and I are in the same generation, so our fans know us.
But Kohama Kokone and I have very different fans.
We say "nice to meet you" a lot.
But I remember the time when we held a nationwide handshake event.
It was like 3 against 1.
So we would say "nice to meet you" to our fans and be frank with them.
It was a lot of fun.
It was very close.
It was a lot of fun and I hope we can hold events like this again.
They even wrote handwritten pop songs for us.
They wrote a lot of pop songs for us.
They even wrote songs for us.
Yes, they did.
I was so happy.
They even wrote the names of all the couples for us.
Like "center song".
Thank you so much.
What about you, Remitan?
I went to Yokohama with Yurina Gyoutei and Kudo Kasumi from the 18th generation.
That's cute.
You went all the way to Yokohama.
Yes, we went all the way to Yokohama.
That's a lot of distance.
It's a lot of distance.
It's a lot of distance from Yokohama.
It was my first time doing an event like this.
I see.
It felt very fresh.
It was also my first time talking to Kudo Kasumi from the 18th generation.
I think it's because of events like this that the distance between us got shorter.
It was a lot of fun.
There were fans who came many times.
It's hard to have a conversation now.
It was a lot of fun to talk like this for the first time in a while.
Was it your first time talking to a fan face-to- face?
No, it was in the early days.
I see.
When I first came here, I only saw your name and address.
I see.
It's been a while!
Some people have been coming since then.
I was very happy.
I see.
Thank you.
It's a team that looks very young.
That's right.
The members are young.
They are cute.
I was able to visit HMV Ikebukuro store with Chiyori Nakanishi and Azuki Yagi.
It looks fun.
It's fun.
This time, it wasn't a common pair.
There were many members with unexpected combinations.
That's right.
It was unexpected.
It was really unexpected.
Chiyori and I don't spend much time together.
But Yagi was like, "Nice to meet you!"
When I heard Chiyori's story, I thought it was really interesting.
There were many fans who felt the same rhythm as Chiyori.
I see.
It's like "Fans are like stars."
That's right.
Yagi's impressive name is "Yagi-chan," which means "one of the goats."
Wow!
Nice to meet you!
That's amazing!
First impact!
Yes, first impact!
I thought Yagi-chan would think that AKB fans are like this.
But Yagi-chan looked like she was having fun handing out CDs to everyone.
I hope it will be a good memory for her.
She might be a future variety fan.
That's right.
If she were one of these members, I might think so.
Nice to meet you!
She doesn't look like that now.
She doesn't.
Maybe.
She's cute.
It's true that there are many fans who meet AKB for the first time.
I've only met AKB myself.
But there are many fans who meet AKB for the first time because of unexpected combinations.
That's right.
It was really refreshing.
That's right.
I hope we have more opportunities like this every time.
I want to do it every time.
It's so fun that I want to do it every time.
But I think the fans might have said it a little earlier.
That's right.
Are you listening to me as an adult?
That's right.
But it's only been two days since we heard about it.
Some fans said, "I came back from work."
Some fans said, "I'm going to work now."
Some fans said, "I came in between work."
I'm really grateful for that.
Thank you very much.
There were a lot of toasts, too.
I think there are fans who said, "I didn't know."
If we have another chance...
Please look forward to it.
From this single to next year...
I hope we can meet a lot of people in the future.
I have breaking news for you.
The selection team hasn't left Shibuya yet.
I'm sorry!
It's not like that. It's all thanks to you all for coming all the way to see us.
We're still in Shibuya, but this is Akihabara, so it might take some time, but I hope you'll wait for us in this stream.
We'll do our best to say funny things.
We might end up doing one-shot jokes.
Did you say that?
One-shot jokes?
Did you say that?
Not just for you, but for everyone.
We might end up doing one-shot jokes, so please look forward to it.
Also, this isn't the first time we're holding an event to commemorate the release of the single.
This single will be held at fan meetings all over the country!
I'm so happy!
Should we open up the monitors?
On June 11th and Sunday at Sapporo Factory Hall in Sapporo.
On July 16th and Sunday at Morinomiya Piloti Hall in Osaka.
On August 12th and Saturday at Denkibiru Mirai Hall in Fukuoka.
And on August 19th and Saturday at TFT Hall in Tokyo.
We'll hold the event in four places.
Wow!
As you can see, there will be a live performance, a talk event, and a group photo session.
Wow!
That's great!
If you'd like to participate, please use the limited edition A, B, or C entry of the first limited edition.
Participating in the event will be a draw, but don't worry if you don't make it!
If you have your entry number card with you on the day of the event, we'll hold a one-shot individual talk session!
Yay!
Wow!
A one-shot individual talk session is a talk session where only one member of each daily participant can use all of the entries they have.
You don't need to make a reservation in advance!
If you have your entry number card with you on the day of the event, you can participate!
I see!
If you'd like to participate, please use the limited edition A, B, or C entry of the first limited edition.
Participating in the event will be a draw, but don't worry if you don't make it!
It's been a while since we've been to the countryside, hasn't it?
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Sapporo's Sapporo Factory Hall!
Yes!
July 16th and Sunday is Osaka's Morino Miya Pyrotea Hall!
August 12th and Saturday is Fukuoka's Electric Building Minato Mirai...
It's not Minato Mirai!
It's Fukuoka!
Electric Building Mirai Hall!
Yes!
And August 19th and Saturday is Tokyo's T.F.T. Hall!
Sen!
If it doesn't have "teisei" in it, it's probably "ateru"
I think it's "ateru"
The members who will participate in this are...
Yes!
The three of you?
Yes!
And you, Ayami?
Me?
Anyone can participate, so don't miss it!
If you have plans, please participate!
We're waiting for you!
It's nice!
Each group?
There are about two group meetings, and each of the three groups will have 150 participants.
That's right!
That's how it is, so please participate!
Some of my fans will have a group meeting with me and Yuirii-san and Mogi-san, and some of them will say they won't participate!
I don't know!
Some of them might have given up, but I don't know who will participate.
It's all up to you.
I'm looking forward to this group meeting.
I'm sure all of you have experienced catering before.
I want to eat it!
Me too!
I miss it!
Take me with you!
For catering!
I want to eat it!
And it's not Hokkaido!
Hokkaido!
I want to eat it!
Hokkaido!
Hokkaido is strong!
That's right!
I want to eat ramen that the person in charge of catering has made for me.
I see!
I want to eat miso ramen that she makes for me.
Sounds delicious!
I want to eat cheesecake!
That's right!
That's not the most important thing.
That's not the most important thing, but meeting fans is the most important thing.
I'm looking forward to it.
I'd like to ask Universal Music for this.
Thank you for everything!
I'm looking forward to it.
Of course, there are people who live in Sapporo, Osaka, or Fukuoka.
I'm sure there are people who travel from different regions to participate in this event.
I hope all of you who are traveling can enjoy local food together.
That's right!
I hope so!
There are a lot of comments asking us to come to Nagoya or Sendai.
If this is a huge success, we'd love to go on a trip.
We'd love to come and see you.
Please come and see us.
Tokyo is also a wonderful city.
The more people come, the more members you can have.
There will be more people coming.
There was a time when almost all members came.
We'd love it if you could come and see us.
Please come and see us.
Also, from April 26th at 7.30pm to April 27th at 23.59pm,
at the official shop of akb48, you can get a limited edition type a, b, c, or regular edition type a, b, c, which you like,
and one of the 16 members selected will receive a solo clear card.
Solo clear card!
Nemitan has one now, right?
The card is also with the selected members.
The card is also with the selected members on their way to Shibuya.
The card is also in their hands.
You might be able to see it once the selected members arrive.
You might not know what's coming, but you might be able to leave excitement for everyone.
You might be able to put it behind your smart phone case.
It's about that size.
Is it really that big?
I don't know anything!
You only know your imagination!
Everyone here has their heads held high.
Who knows?
I'm happy you can get the members you want.
I feel like there's a lot of randomness.
I'm looking forward to it.
I'd be happy if you could all get it.
For more information about the clear card, please check out the official website!
Please do!
Now, with that said...
How is it?
The script is starting to run out.
Our lives are...
I'm starting to think, "Run, selected members!"
Let's move on to the next one.
Here we have...
AKB48's 61st single...
I really love you
We're releasing the music video for "Common Coupling Song" by Fukuoka SEINA CENTER.
I'm so excited!
I'm looking forward to it.
SEINA-san, this song was selected by "Dessert Club" by "Cooking Selection" who won "Goodbye, Maurice" at "Goodbye, Maurice."
Yes, that's right.
The members are me, Ishiwata SENA-chan, Iwatate Saho- san, Shinozaki Ayana-san, Okabe Rin-chan, Kobayashi Ran-chan, and Yamabe Ayu-chan.
"Cooking Selection" was quite a battle, wasn't it?
It was quite a long battle.
We did it for quite a long time.
We did a live stream event.
We ate at "Dessert Club" too.
One thing I remember about "Dessert Club" is that we gathered and made sweets ourselves.
Yes, we did.
It was amazing.
When I was watching it, I could feel how passionate you were.
I'm so happy. Thank you so much.
One thing I remember about "dessert club" is that you ate so much "dessert" that you couldn't eat "apple" enough.
That's right.
Some of them were sold out.
It was a great success.
I'm happy that we were able to form like this with the support of our fans.
By the way, SENA-san, you haven't watched the music video yet, have you?
That's right! I haven't watched it yet!
I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like.
By the way, how was the music video shoot?
How was it?
Well...
Everyone was dancing and practicing a lot.
That's true.
It looked difficult.
Yes, it was.
There were a lot of fast choreographies, too.
We did "furinori" the day before.
It's an AKB song, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
We did it.
That's right.
But the set was so cute.
I was happy that we were able to make it look like a cute, desert club.
On the contrary, there are some pop songs, too.
I hope you'll enjoy watching them, too.
I'm looking forward to it.
When I was on a singing show and saw the costumes,
they were so cute, but they were dancing like this.
That's right.
I was shocked.
They're wearing cute costumes and cute members,
but there's a gap between adult-like lyrics and adult- like melodies.
That's great.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the music video will turn out.
Seina, do you have any points you want people to pay attention to?
Points I want people to pay attention to...
Oh, I have one thing I'm really curious about.
We actually used sweets for the shoot,
but Ayana Shinozaki put cream on her face.
What?!
Even though we had a shoot after that, she put cream on her nose and cheeks in the afternoon.
I wonder if it's shown in the music video.
I hope it's shown in the music video.
My black face...
I'm curious about how much cream she put on her face.
Seina, please show us the music video.
Yes! This is "Desert of" and I'll show you a sneak peek!
Oh, cute!
Cute! Cute!
Girl!
Sorrowful, dear, difficult, not seeing you, lonely, delicious, unforgiving, painful
Midnight, alone, sleeping, on the bed, how many times did you sigh and look up at the ceiling?
I heard you had a girlfriend and heard rumors
If you give up, you'll give up right away
Looking at you from afar, I can't help but think of you
I don't want to be in love, I don't want to shed jewels, I really love you
Stop pretending to be alike, I don't need your love anymore
It's not my fault you like me, I'm the only one who can't do it
Cute!
It's nice that she's singing solo!
I know you're sleepy, you're lying to yourself
Waiting for the dawn, that's right, I'm just pretending
Where is this?
Cute!
Wow!
It has your name on it!
Wow!
Cute!
She is pretending to sleep!
Cute!
Wow!
Cute!
Wow!
How is it?
It is so cute!
Yeah!
So cute!
Wow! Wow!
It is so good!
It is so big!
It is a mantaro!
It is a giant mantaro!
It is so cute!
Wow! It is so big!
Wow!
It is so cute!
I'm just acting cool
Did you see it?
Wow!
I knew it!
Ah!
It's on your face!
It's quite a lot!
Wow!
It's so cute!
Look at the end!
Wow! Desert club!
It's true!
It's written "desert club"
Wow!
It's so cute!
Wow!
It's so cute!
I'm so happy!
Wow!
I'm so moved!
Wow!
It's so cute!
How do you like it, Sena-san?
It's so wonderful!
I'm so happy!
Thank you so much!
Wow!
By the way, what do you think about the comments from the fans?
I think it's a little bit time laggy
I know!
I can't stop looking at it!
It's so nice!
It's so cute!
It's so nice!
It's a nice world view!
It's a music video that doesn't make you sleepy!
It's so nice!
It's a story about a girl's birthday
It's a girl's birthday but she can't celebrate it
So we appeared and said "Let's make a birthday cake together!"
That's why it's called "Happy Birthday"!
It's a story about a 7-year-old's birthday!
Wow!
There were decorations.
And we had each of us make a cake.
It's called "Oshikara" now.
Wow!
You can actually eat it, right?
Yes, you can!
We actually ate it and took some pictures.
It was fun!
There were a lot of cute things that girls would think of.
That's what the music video was about.
I was so happy!
It's like you're at a confectionery store.
I know, right?
It was so cute!
We could see you putting on cream.
I'm glad we could!
Not only your nose, but also around your mouth.
That's right!
I fixed it up a lot before we started shooting.
But you still look cute with cream on.
Thank you!
You chose this cute concept because you won "desert club" this time, didn't you?
"Takoyaki club" and "croquette club"...
That's right!
How did you come up with that name?
We all made fried food.
On the day "desert club" was shooting their music video,
they showed me some pictures of "desert club".
I was like, "That's cute!"
And I was like, "What is "croquette club" about?"
I'm curious about that, too.
Personally, I was happy to see Ranchan and Senata, the three-year-old girls, in a music video.
It was my first time seeing them like that.
I was like, "What kind of face should I make for the solo lip sync scene?"
I didn't think it would be that perfect.
It was so good!
It was so cute!
When I did the lip sync scene for the first time, I couldn't do anything.
You know, lip sync is about reading ahead of time.
I couldn't even read ahead of time and sing.
I know!
Even that wasn't there. It was so perfect.
It will be a very memorable song for both of you.
That's right!
Everyone is so cute!
"It's so full of "cute"!"
Thank you so much!
I want to see it over and over again.
I'm happy.
It is now 8:10 p.m., but we have breaking news from the selection members.
Wait a minute!
What?
Wait a minute!
What?
Seriously?
I'm not kidding!
I'll read it for you.
It seems like "Omiokuri" will end soon.
Should we go home now?
What should we do?
It's not over yet, is it?
It's not over!
It's not over?
It's not even started yet.
I said it's a big improvement, but...
Hey!
Isn't it too exciting?
I thought you would only say "It's a city prevention."
I thought you would say "We are moving hard now."
"Omiokuri" will end soon.
It's not like we can go out in a second or two after it's over.
It's about 20 to 30 minutes from Shibuya to Akihabara.
It's like it's raining now, so it might be crowded.
Cars...
It's like it's raining now, so it might be crowded.
Will it be okay?
I'm sure some of you are looking forward to it.
I feel like I'm really sorry.
I just got a message from Mion.
What is it?
It's over now.
We will arrive around 8:40.
It says "smile."
Smile!
I see.
By the way, can we tell you about our efforts?
By the way, this scene is actually over at 7:50.
Wait, it's 8 o'clock!
It's 8 o'clock.
We've been talking about it for a long time.
This is the behind-the-scenes music video.
"AKB48" will be released on YouTube from 9 p.m. today.
Is it a full day?
I'm looking forward to it.
I'd like you to repeat it.
I'm sure it's cute.
I think it's cute in many ways.
Please watch it a lot.
Please watch it.
Later, we will call the selection members and ask them about the current situation.
I hope you're looking forward to it.
I'm looking forward to it.
So...
I'd like to introduce you to the post on Twitter that we announced at the beginning of the show.
We asked them to tweet about what they liked about the paper by adding #I absolutely love you.
Thank you very much.
I'd like to introduce you now.
Can I introduce yourself, too?
I got it from HANA.
What I like about Hitomi is...
She always has a goal and is working hard.
She can sing cool and cute songs.
She jumped too fast for the show's bungee jump and the show was too short.
That's cool.
I see.
She didn't have time to hesitate and jumped right away.
That's amazing.
You're like Hitomi.
Have you ever done a bungee jump like this?
No, I haven't.
You can't do it if you don't have the courage.
You're right.
I'm afraid of heights.
If I do it like this, it'll be terrible.
I just imagined it and I'm sweating now.
I'd like to do it someday.
What?
That's a big heart.
I've always wanted to do it.
I hope I can do it someday.
Why?
It's hard to do a bungee jump.
I'd like to do it while I'm alive.
That's tough.
Is it because you're young?
You're right.
I'm afraid of heights.
Next.
This is from HAMHAM.
I drink alcohol in the middle of the night and watch AKB programs.
The more I announce it to my fans, the stronger my love for AKB is.
That's cute.
Is your love for AKB really strong?
Yes, it is.
People say that drinking alcohol brings out your true nature.
But you still like to talk about AKB.
I like it.
I can feel it.
But when you say it like that, it sounds like you're talking about your dad.
You're right.
I thought you were talking about one of your fans.
You're right.
I didn't know it was you.
I've been watching you guys a lot.
A few years ago at the anniversary show, you guys were in different units.
Like Honey Harmony and stuff like that.
I heard I was in a different unit at first.
Oh, really?
But when I saw that, I thought you were better at Honey Harmony.
Was Honey Harmony decided at the time?
I don't know if it was decided.
I don't know if it was decided at the time.
But I heard you said you were better at Honey Harmony.
Oh, you're right.
I see.
I thought you were thinking about other members as well.
I thought you had love for them.
That's nice.
Nice.
Next, we have a message from Snufkin.
Big Maho-chan.
Recently you've been so into Slam Dunk that you don't turn around at all.
But you still like Maho-pyon who works hard every day.
That's what it says.
She's good.
At the end.
Maho-chan, well...
But recently I went to see Nana-san's graduation concert.
I thought you were really good at dancing.
I thought you were practicing a lot.
I thought fans would ask you about that as well.
You're cute.
We're in the same team.
We're in Team B and we're in the same team as Maho-chan.
But Maho-chan is overwhelmingly good at dancing.
I see.
So in a theater like this, if you dance like that, people will like you.
You're a sparkling idol.
Including that, you're also good at dancing.
Idols include lessons as well as performances.
I think that's why Maho-chan is so talented.
That's true.
Can you hear me?
Huh?
We're back.
Everyone?
Good evening.
See?
That voice.
Can you tell me your names?
I can't hear you.
Everyone's riding it!
Everyone's riding a bus!
I see!
Everyone, can we say you're moving now?
Yes, we're in the car!
Is it Koi-san?
I'm talking with everyone.
Hii-san!
Yes!
Can we ask you something?
Yes!
Since it was released today, we were able to visit you at the Shibuya store.
How was it?
We received more people than we imagined.
We were able to talk with our fans at a close distance.
It was a lot of fun!
Amazing!
Yui-Yui-san!
Yes!
Oh, you're here?
Yes!
Yui-Yui-san, how was it today?
Well...
As Hii-chan said, a lot of people came.
It's been a while since we were able to meet our fans up close like this.
It was a lot of fun!
And Erii-chan!
Erii-chan!
Yes!
Erii-chan...
Is it a little far?
Yes, it is!
Erii-chan, I think you were at the Tsutaya store in Shibuya today.
There were a lot of AKB booths as well.
How was it?
There were a lot of big AKB booths.
A lot of fans came as well.
I hope more people will come and take photos with us.
That's true!
A lot of people.
By the way, how many AKB booths are there?
Once?
So once you enter...
So once you enter, you'll find it right away?
Yes, once you enter...
Once you enter, you'll find it on the left or something like that.
I see!
So everyone, when you go to Tsutaya, please go in once!
And everyone at the booth...
Um...
We have to connect, so we'll definitely go around and talk about it one by one.
So please get ready!
Maho-pyon, earlier you had a letter for Maho-pyon. Could you read it for us?
I was doing a hashtag project and it reached Maho- chan.
I'm happy!
It's from Snufkin-san.
Recently you've been so absorbed in Slam Dunk that you don't look back at all.
But you still say you like Maho-pyon who works hard every day.
Really?! Are you complimenting me?
It really reached her!
She said she likes you!
She said she likes you for now.
She's very open-minded.
She's open-minded.
I'll do my best for her to like me.
By the way...
Shall we move on to the next member?
Thank you, Maho-chan.
Next is Ai-chan!
Thank you, Ai-chan!
Ai-chan!
Yes, I'm Sato!
Sato-sensei!
It's like a phone call.
It's from a fan.
Yes!
It's from Makopikonyan-san.
Yes, thank you!
Ai-chan who does her best in everything.
She's cute when she's on the train or when she's a little clumsy.
She shines on stage and she says she loves you!
Thank you!
I actually fell asleep last night.
Oh, I see!
My mom scolded me.
Oh, my!
She's like a cute baby.
Ai-chan!
Yes!
I don't think you've had many chances to talk to your fans up close like this.
How did you like it today?
It was very close.
I was able to interact with a lot of different members and fans.
It felt like we were getting closer and closer.
I was very happy.
I'm glad about that.
Thank you!
Let's move on!
"Naru-san"!
"Nyaru-san"!
Are you there?
"Nyaru-san"!
Are you there?
"Nyaru-san"!
"Naru-san"!
Wait!
Where are you?
"Nyaru-san", are you there?
"Nyaru-san"!
How was it today?
Today?
Yes!
I'm very happy about the big poster and the big autograph.
I'm glad!
We have a message from fans to "Naru-san".
Let me read it for you.
Thank you!
It's from "Koushi-san".
"Naru-chan", what do you like about me?
I love how you do everything you can to make yourself and the fans happy.
Also, what do you like about anime?
Is there any anime you've been into lately?
Without a doubt, it's "One Piece"!
I want you all to watch it!
I've seen it being tweeted on Twitter.
I'm doing "One Piece" this week.
"One Piece" will be released this week.
Please check it out!
The cover!
Wow!
It's a black "One Piece" sticker.
Please check it out!
It's "One Piece" hat.
Thank you!
Next up is "Momoka-san"!
"Momo-chan"!
Is "Momo-chan" here?
Is she here?
She's here!
She's so cute!
She's here!
Since we're here, can you say a catchphrase for us?
Okay!
Here's my question!
What's your favorite color?
White!
But of course, it's...
One, two...
Pink!
Okay!
Hello, everyone!
I'm your idol, Momoka!
I'm Momoka Onishi!
Was it like this?
Okay!
Momoka-san!
Let's hear your fans' comments!
Okay!
This is from "Rin-chan"!
"Rin-chan"?
Thank you!
"Momoka Onishi" is cute and cool at the same time.
And there's a gap between you and her.
She's so nice, so I'm worried about her.
But I love her and love her.
"Momoka Onishi", I'm happy to meet you!
Wow!
That's nice!
What a nice way of saying it!
Thank you, "Rin-chan"!
You don't have to worry about me!
Just bury me in your heart!
Wow!
I'll be buried in your heart!
By the way, Momoka-san!
How was today's event?
It was my first event like this in my life!
Yes!
On the release date of "CHIRI".
Yes, yes, yes!
I was wondering what it would be like, and a lot of people came!
While there were fans, I was writing autographs on big panels.
Wow!
While everyone was looking at me like this, I was admiring myself.
It was fun!
That's great!
I really want to go and see it now!
Yes!
I want to go and see it!
Please come and see it!
Yes!
Thank you very much!
Yes!
Then, next!
Yuiri-san!
Oh!
She was next to me!
Yes! She was next to me!
Yuiri-san!
Please introduce yourself!
What do you mean "something"?
"Something"!
Go ahead!
Yes!
Red...
Yuiri-go!
Yuiri-go and...
Oh!
Yuiri-go and...
Oh!
Wow!
Yuiri-san!
She was in the dark!
Yuiri-san in the dark was just shown!
She was in the dark!
Yuiri-san in the dark of a panel!
Yuiri-san in the dark of a theater!
Yuiri-san in the dark!
Then, Yuiri-san!
How was today's event?
It was really fun!
It reminded me of "All in All", which I saw off for the first time in Japan.
As I got to like the story, I started playing rock- paper-scissors.
That sounds fun!
I had a lot of fun!
That's good!
We have some comments from our fans, so we'll read them out loud.
Let's start with Cheetora-san!
What do you like about Yuiri-chan?
Her personality, her face, her performance, her sharpness, and her weirdness.
That's right!
Also, at first glance she seems modest and quiet, but she's actually stubborn and has a heart.
It seems like she's quietly burning a blue flame in her heart.
What do you think?
A blue flame...
But it's not sharp!
It's not weird, but it's sharp.
But isn't it because she wrote it herself?
That's true.
I see.
I'm happy to hear compliments like "that's weird", but...
She seems convinced.
She's convinced of Adato-san as well.
I don't think it's Adato-san.
But she's complimenting you.
That's right.
She's complimenting you.
Yeah, so...
I'm not really happy about it.
By the way, Yuiri-san...
From now on, there will be a nationwide fan meeting.
What do you think about it?
I think I'll be participating in most of it.
Yes, yes, yes.
But because of COVID-19, I haven't had a chance to go to Hokkaido, Fukuoka, or Osaka.
Because it's online, I was able to meet local people.
But we weren't able to bring our feet to the local area.
I'm glad we were able to do it.
Please look forward to it!
Thank you!
Next up is Zukki!
Zukki-chan!
Zukki!
Huh?
Where is Zukki?
Zukki!
Ah!
Zukki!
Please introduce yourself and give us a catchphrase!
Zucchi!
Thank you!
I'm Zucchi Kotoyama.
Hi, Zucchi-tan!
I'm the dark panel, Zucchi.
So cute!
Zucchi, how was it today?
It was so much fun!
I'm sure you all know about it,
but I'm so happy we were able to hold an event where we can meet in person like this.
And of course,
our fans!
I've always loved AKB. I love you fans!
We have a comment from one of our fans.
Shironeko22-san.
Oh, Shironeko-nyan-nyan-san.
Shironeko-nyan-nyan-san, thank you!
What I love about Zucchi is that even though she has a relaxed personality, once she's on stage, she can become a wolf or even a lion!
That's true.
What do you think?
I'm so happy! I've never been called a wolf or a lion before.
That's right.
Zucchi, you're surprisingly fierce.
It's not like I'm cool just because I have fangs!
No, you're not!
You have sharp eyes.
But there are a lot of fans who say they like me when I'm performing cool songs.
I hope I can become a monster stronger than a lion.
Monster?!
I hope I can turn my power into a monster!
That's wonderful!
Thank you! I'll be waiting for you at the theater!
Thank you! Wait for me!
Bye-bye! Thank you!
Next up is Yukirin-san!
Yukirin-san!
I was right next to you!
Wow!
Yukirin-san, thank you for coming!
Yukirin-san!
Yukirin-san, it's raining today, isn't it?
That's right.
It was raining so much that the hair of the fans who came was messed up.
That's right.
Thank you for coming, fans!
Yukirin-san, how was it today?
There were a lot of people coming from far away.
I was happy.
I don't have many opportunities to interact with fans other than myself.
That's right.
It was fun to think, "There are fans like this in Tomoko."
I see.
We have a comment from a fan of Yukirin-san!
Thank you!
Mayuki-san sent us one!
Okay!
I love how you always think about Yukirin-san's fans.
Yukirin-san, if you tweet about Yukirin-san on social media, will you check it all?
I'm very happy as a fan that you even remember what you tweeted about.
I'm very egoistic.
Yukirin.
By the way, Yukirin.
I think you have more opportunities to perform new songs.
Do you have your own appeal points or things you want people to look at?
Well...
This time, it's a cool and intense dance.
For some reason, I'm one of the dance members who only five of us dance.
I think that's an appeal point.
By the way, the synchronization rate is amazing.
It's very cool.
It's very synchronized.
It's like "spa-spa".
We practiced a lot.
We practiced so much that we got used to it.
Really?
I hope you can see the results.
I think you can see it again today.
I'm looking forward to it.
Please look forward to it.
Thank you.
It's getting closer.
Really?
Please wait for it.
Thank you.
Mio.
Are you there?
I thought you would come.
By the way, what time is it now?
Can I say it?
I think it's about 10 minutes.
About 15 minutes?
It doesn't take that long.
That's right.
If you say it broadly, it's like Akihabara.
It's getting closer.
That's great.
I see.
We'll be waiting for you at the theater.
Thank you.
We were going to watch it together.
The practice video.
We're going to watch it by ourselves.
You've already watched it.
We're going to watch it now.
Are you going to watch it?
That's great.
We'll watch it on YouTube.
Haven't you watched it yet?
We've confirmed it, but we haven't watched the finished version yet.
I see.
We'll be responsible for watching it.
We'll be watching it.
Thank you.
You were cute yesterday.
So...
Is it okay?
Yes, it's okay.
I'm going to say it out loud.
You were cute with pink eyes yesterday.
Thank you, Tio.
Yes.
Tio.
We'll be waiting for you, Mio.
We'll be waiting for you.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you.
So...
We're going to show you the dance practice video that you love.
Let's watch it!
Let's watch it again!
Roller Skiing! On the train!
Aoi shita you ni sae
Fumikiri no mukou no kimi ni mukatte
Zutto iitakatta boku no omoi yo
Dorisuki densha ni kaki kesae
Datte kimi ni todoku to shinjiteiru
Suki ni naru
Subscribe and like for more!
Yay!
So, what did you think of it, Na-min?
Well, I thought it was a static image, but it moves quite a bit.
And the camera moves along with the choreography.
Each and every one of us was pulled by the camera.
It was really good.
By the way, the dance teacher was in charge of the camera.
Wow!
So, she knew this formation would be like this, and that's why she was pulled by the camera.
That's why it's called "camera work".
Wow!
I'd like you all to watch it while being aware of it.
By the way, what did you think of the fans' comments?
The synchronization of the dance is amazing.
Amazing!
The camera work is amazing.
That's nice.
By the way, this is the costume we showed off in the singing show the other day.
Yes, I like this costume.
Yuiri wasn't there at the time.
That's right.
But we were able to see you.
Really?
Thank you so much, Yuiri.
Well, Yuiri's fans, this video is very important.
That's right.
Every time we show a song, it changes.
It's amazing.
Remita, do you have any comments you're interested in?
Well...
But there are a lot of comments saying that the camera work is amazing.
Oh, that's right.
In the lesson hall...
Yes.
I always dance there, so I wanted to see it in the lesson hall.
I see.
There are various versions.
Lesson hall version.
Maybe there will be a lesson hall version.
Yes, yes, yes.
Or a version without dancing.
Oh, yes, yes.
That's right.
It may be released someday.
That's amazing.
Yes, that's it.
The tape on the floor is...
What?
It's a lie!
By the way, if you look closely, there is a tape on the floor.
It's a live performance of the concert that will be held on April 29th and 30th.
It's really recent.
If you look closely, you'll find out.
If you look closely, you'll find out that the stage is a little different.
We do it there.
That's right.
I hope you enjoy it while watching it.
How about you, Aimi?
You said that the dance teacher shot it with a camera, didn't you?
According to what I heard this time, the dance teacher took each one of them with a video and checked their facial expressions and danced.
What?
That's amazing!
I heard about it.
I think it's because we practiced and choreographed it over and over again that we have a beautiful dance with all the selected members.
That's amazing.
I think it's amazing.
We haven't choreographed it yet.
What kind of pose was it again?
In-bundle pose.
We could only do that atmosphere.
What I can do now is...
What? Why?
When I did it the other day, Zucchi taught me the in- bundle dance one by one and it was perfect.
Only that part.
About five poses.
Five poses?
Five poses are perfect.
I think it's going to be the hardest one.
It's going to be hard.
I think we can only do "Ah!" if we make one mistake.
We can only do that.
Because we choreographed it in-bundle.
That's right.
So, you know...
Yes.
The selected members are coming in one by one.
The manager is here!
I can see it.
The manager is here.
Does anyone have a clear card?
A clear card?
Is there a clear card that the fans are looking forward to?
A clear card.
Can you receive it?
Can you access it?
They're saying, "Manaka, you did your best as a host!"
Thank you for your hard work.
We can do our best with only five of us.
Thank you.
Is it around 8:20 now?
40 minutes!
40 minutes?
8 hours and 43 minutes, right?
Thank you for your patience, everyone.
Thank you for your patience.
Thank you for your patience, everyone.
Oh, you have a clear card!
You have a clear card!
It's bigger than I thought!
It looks like a smartphone!
You can't put it in your phone at all!
But it's amazing!
It's a live photo site, isn't it?
Can you show me a little more?
Can you show me?
It's like a live photo.
Is it transparent?
It's transparent.
It's great.
It's cute.
It's like a transparent file.
It's good.
It's not common.
It's bigger than a live photo.
It's good.
If all members are here, we can make a transparent file.
We can think of ideas like that.
I want it.
It's cute.
If you buy a limited edition of the type ABC and a regular edition of the type ABC, you can get a solo clear card of your choice.
As I said earlier, please check the official website for more details.
You can get it without covering it.
That's right.
You can get it for 16 people.
If you have all the type ABCs, you can get as many as you like.
You can get as many as you like.
That's great.
You can collect them.
The deadline is set.
Yes.
It's until 23:59 on April 27th.
I hope you can hurry up.
This is a practice video of "Dance" that you like.
Just like the music video of "Netafuri", it will be released on AKB48's official YouTube in about 15 minutes.
Please watch it as many times as you like.
Please.
Thank you for your patience.
It seems like the members you like have arrived at the theater.
Members!
It's been a while!
Thank you for waiting for us!
Please stand in two rows so we can see your faces.
Please stand in about three rows.
It's okay if you stand in three rows.
Please stand in two rows.
You smell good.
I think it'll look good on you.
I thought it'd look good on you, so I dressed up like this.
Now, let me announce the results of the Oricon Daily Chart, which has just been announced!
We don't know the results yet, so we'd like to announce them now!
I'm nervous.
Is it okay?
Yes!
So!
"AKB48" 61st Single "I absolutely love you"
The result of the Oricon Daily Chart is...
1st place!
Wow!
So, Yui Yui, would you like to say something?
I'm so happy! Everyone here knows about it!
That's right!
I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, everyone!
By the way, this ranking is based on the daily chart.
If you can win first place weekly, you will win first place in 48 songs in a row!
Wow!
48!
By the way, this ranking is based on the daily chart.
If you can win first place weekly, you will win first place in 48 songs in a row!
Wow!
If you can win first place weekly, you will win first place in 48 songs in a row!
Wow!
Everyone, please support us so that we can continue to win first place weekly!
Please support us!
Now, let's get started.
From now on, we will continue with "Dance Practisezo" and show you new songs at the theater as well.
But Mio-san, you haven't done it at the theater yet, have you?
No, I haven't!
These 16 people... I mean, no one has sung here before.
That's right.
From now on, we will have a public rehearsal!
Wow!
Everyone, please put down your microphones.
We will watch your performance in the audience seats.
It's really nice.
We can watch a public rehearsal like this right now.
This is really VR!
That's right!
It's really close-up.
It's right in front of you.
It's really nice.
Now...
Congratulations!
We say that on YouTube as well.
Thank you very much!
I don't think we'll be able to see the members rehearsing for songs.
It's rare.
I think it'll be rare to see them live.
That's right.
On the contrary...
Wow!
On the contrary, we're the announcers of the broadcast.
That's right!
We're practicing at this theater!
After this...
Mogi-san's legs are already...
I can't stretch my legs!
Mogi-san's...
Are you okay?
That's amazing.
16 people...
Yukirin-san and Mio-san, your legs are sticking out.
Your legs are sticking out!
Are you okay?
Yes...
The stage...
Compared to the original set, the theater's stage is much smaller.
It seems like we can't fit all of our legs in.
The teachers are laughing too.
That's right.
The width is...
Everyone, please be careful of your skirts.
Which one is it?
We're checking the size of the skirts.
We're checking the width of the skirts.
For us, the width of the skirts is important.
Yesterday, this scene was filmed from above.
Wasn't it yesterday?
Yesterday?
It was filmed from above.
It was really beautiful!
It was really beautiful, wasn't it?
It felt like flowers were blooming.
It was amazing.
Depending on the singing program, you can enjoy various camera work.
Today, you can watch it in VR from any angle you like.
You can also watch it in other YouTube live streams.
You can watch it in an angle that you can only see here.
That's right.
It's amazing.
I can hear the countdown.
Wow, it's amazing!
We will quietly watch and wait.
5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5
Thank you for the food.
Will I fall down?
Thank you for watching.
Are you OK?
Yes.
Let's do it again.
Can you wait for a while?
Are you okay with waiting for a while?
But you did it in a weird way, didn't you, Hii- chan?
No, I didn't.
Oh, I see.
You did it with one line backward.
Yes, I did.
Please turn your heel backward.
Okay.
Let's start from here.
One, two, three, four...
Five, six, seven, eight...
Don't bend it too much, bend it too little.
Are you ok?
Thank you for watching.
Don't say "jiei" only.
Yes.
But today...
Yes.
Let's go!
Now that all of you who have been selected are ready, we will move over here.
You are all wearing headsets.
Some of you say you were really serious about this.
It's not just about the song, but also about rehearsing and watching over the performance.
Yes, we were listening to what you were saying.
It's the first time for us to see you perform like this.
We were watching you from the front row.
We are sitting in the front row now.
We are right behind you.
I'm looking forward to it.
We are enjoying it as viewers.
Can we get it?
I'm looking forward to it.
We haven't seen you in person before.
But you all have different shapes and sizes.
For you, Rin, you have a design that makes you hungry.
For you, Mogi, you have a "bancho-chic" design.
You have a cool design as well.
Everyone has different shapes and sizes.
It's fun to watch.
It's fun.
When you sat down, your abs were amazing.
They were amazing!
They were like vertical lines.
Can you see it?
I'm conscious of it.
I'm looking forward to it.
It's nice.
You had sparkling eyes from rehearsal.
I could see it.
It's really cute.
Mogi and Oda were flirting in the back.
They had nice smiles.
They looked at each other.
It was fun.
Mogi thanked us for our hard work.
She's so kind.
She's really kind.
We haven't been able to dance yet.
That's why we want to be able to dance like this.
I said it before, but it's amazing that you can do that pose without thinking.
It's amazing.
That pose is amazing.
You can do it if it's the last pose.
I know.
If it's the last one.
It looks difficult.
It's amazing that it's 48.
It's the last 48.
The choreography has AKB's feelings in it.
It makes you happy, doesn't it?
It makes you want to do it.
Someday we'll all do a "in-knot" dance.
I want to do it.
It's a "in-knot" challenge.
It's nice.
We'll do it.
We'll make sure you don't find out.
It's like a song of a frog.
We'll do it one by one.
One, two, three, four.
It's hard.
It's like "one, one" next.
One, one, one.
There are a lot of people.
There's a lot of comments.
Why don't you put it in the rehearsal video or CD?
It looks like everyone is ready for the last one.
Please come out.
Please.
It's nice.
How are you?
No.
In front of me like this?
No.
You can stand back a little.
Let's get started.
Hitomi, please dance to the song.
It was released on April 26th.
It's AKB48's 61st single.
I really love you
Wait!
Here we go!
The white shirt makes me look brighter than usual and I want to run away.
This is always one thing in front of my heart that makes me want to stand still in front of my love.
Even if it's erased by a train, I believe it will reach you.
I love you and that impulse is...
(I love you and that impulse is...)
That's amazing!
By the way, this is the first time you've come to a theater, so the cameraman is also in the middle of it.
Wow!
I see.
That's amazing!
That's how it is.
It was really cool!
The reenactment is amazing!
I've heard a lot about reenacting and having a smell, but I thought it was like this.
I really smelled it.
I saw it with sparkling eyes and it was fun!
It was fun, wasn't it?
Yes, it was.
That's great.
How about you, Hii-san?
I was nervous and made a mistake for the first time.
What?
You didn't make a mistake at all!
I'm glad.
I'm really happy to be able to do this on the day of release and show it at the theater.
Thank you very much!
Yes.
Let's start with Janamin.
Yes!
Here's an announcement for you fans!
