AISubs v3.5
25 people, 23 people, 48 people, out of 48 people.
Let's start.
The next screening is...
screening in groups.
There are 48 people now.
How do we decide groups?
We decide groups by group leaders, such as dance skills and expressiveness.
We have eight dance leaders selected.
The eight leaders will draft the remaining 40 people.
That's how groups are formed.
It's different from baseball, isn't it? This draft is already...
Yes.
No, it was a form of choosing a group from the point of being a leader.
What about this?
No, what about it?
What about it? Are you happy? Are you tired? Which one is it?
I don't know if I'll be a leader or not.
Well, that's right.
Then, once again, this is the current situation.
AKB members and general participants meet and the first screening, group screening, is held.
And that's how groups are formed in a draft-like manner in which eight leaders choose who they want to be with.
This doesn't mean that a leader has been decided among AKB members, does it?
That's right.
There is also a possibility that a leader will appear among general participants.
Yes, there is.
Isn't that really hard?
It's really hard, isn't it?
I'd be happy if I was chosen based on my skills and expressiveness.
But if you think about it further, it's difficult for AKB members to choose general participants or AKB members to choose AKB members who met for the first time today.
That's right.
Isn't that amazing, too?
Well, this is...
Okay, let's get started.
I'm really curious about who will be the leader.
Who will it be?
I'd like to call in eight leaders, so if you're called, please come forward.
This is the first leader.
Mizuki Yamauchi.
I see, I see.
When I first called me "leader", I've never really been a leader in my life.
I only wanted to be the best, but now that I've been targeted, I want to be the best in my team and I want to make a good team so I hope I can do my best.
The second one is Nanami Kurano.
Well, this is certainly...
I think there are a lot of people who think that AKB itself is okay, and I don't have the room to make a new group, but I'm at a loss.
I'm at a loss and I've even become a leader.
I thought I didn't want to do it.
I don't know if I should choose it or not.
I'm worried, but I hope we can all work together and deliver a good performance.
I'll do my best.
Third person.
Ms. Shitanori.
Well, that's right. You've been selected for a long time.
You're really good at dancing.
I lost the selection this time.
I'm pretty depressed.
I cried many times after that.
Performing is what I feel happiest about and what I like most.
I'm happy.
I was very happy.
But I've been following you a lot so far.
I'm happy that I'm in a position to lead you.
But I think I have to do my best.
Fourth person.
Ms. Goryu.
That's right.
I didn't think I'd be a leader.
I like dancing, but...
I don't know if I can be a leader or not.
But I hope I can lead you like me.
I'll do my best.
The fifth one is Aison Sato.
Oh, that's right.
She's an individual leader.
She's an emergency leader in her 17th year.
It must be hard for you.
But you must have some motivation.
I think she's dancing in a way that fits the song.
In the chorus part, it's kind of pop, or in the second half of the chorus, it's kind of like that.
There's something about it that grabs you and does it for you.
Well, I'm a research student, so I thought I'd practice with my seniors more.
When I was called out, I forgot my own name for a moment.
You're in a bad mood.
The sixth one is Yumemi Sappo.
Here we go. I knew it.
It's true that it's been revealed today and it's been leaked.
Mr. Sappo was dancing in a powerful way, so it caught my eye.
If you were taught by a professional, you'd know where it's wrong.
That's right.
I don't think I'm really chosen as a leader.
I'm happy that you chose me even though I'm not good at singing or dancing.
I still don't have confidence and skills, so I want to improve and do my best.
The seventh one is Nanami Furuyama.
Here we go.
She was really good at dancing.
I chased my dream and moved from Mie to Tokyo.
I was surprised that everyone chose me as a dancer.
I was supposed to dance in a prestigious high school, but I didn't do it because I was in Mie.
The teacher of this high school danced for me at the time.
Are you dancing with me?
I'm confident in dancing.
I want to do my best so that I can be promoted as a team.
Neko Nakamori.
Oh, you're the second one.
She was good, too.
She's still there at the audition.
I was like, "What? Me?"
It's not about bringing everyone together, it's about making it easier for everyone to do it.
More than eight people have become leaders.
I'd like you to choose these remaining 40 people for each team.
40 people, please dance to the chorus of your brother's song.
I don't know if we can do it all at once, so I'd like you to split up into eight people and dance.
When juniors or ordinary girls dance, they don't want us to choose, but when we dance here, for example, we choose juniors.
It's kind of uncomfortable.
This is a little tight.
There are 17 and 18 years old.
Before I saw it, I was dancing with all my might, and I got a lot of hearts.
I'm standing in front of a lot of girls.
It's like an audition, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Ordinary people don't have a group or anything like that.
It's like you're taking a note and asking me to choose it.
It's a little flat, but it's difficult.
Thank you very much.
So, once again, there are six people who became leaders.
Well, from AKB, there are six people.
And from general applications, there are two people.
You've been told, haven't you? Looking at them.
Oh, like these two.
I've been paying attention since the audition.
She must have experience in dancing.
There was a lot of that.
The standard of a leader is their dancing skills and expressiveness.
So leadership has nothing to do with it at all.
It doesn't matter.
That's right.
I thought it didn't matter.
Is that so?
Sato Airi has always been one of the seniors.
Anyway, she's just a junior who's been following us.
So is Sako.
But on the day of the performance, she's already a leader.
I wonder how she feels.
And looking ahead,
Shitao has a very kind heart.
Oh, I see.
She's very good at dancing.
I'd say she's number one or two.
She's one of the best dancers recognized by everyone in the group.
She's always been selected.
She's experienced a lot of things.
Anyway, she cares about people's feelings a lot.
I can see how she can make a great team.
And I think she cares about people a lot.
Depending on how you think about it,
I don't know if it's better to shake it off.
From the 18th and 17th generation,
I want you to do this.
When I was told that,
The members' feelings were...
When you're normally active in akb, it's rare.
It's rare, isn't it?
Seniors know more.
What juniors tell seniors is...
It's rare in akb activities.
The stance is difficult, isn't it?
Airi-chan, Sako-chan, and it's hard for those who have become leaders as general participants.
It may be difficult for akb seniors who joined these four teams.
Really...
Eight leaders will choose one by one and make a group of six people into eight groups.
How you decide is...
The leaders will play rock-paper-scissors and decide from number one to eight.
From the first person, please say the name of the person you want to take in order.
One by one.
Then...
Let's play rock-paper-scissors.
Here we go.
Rock-paper-scissors!
One more time.
One, two...
Rock-paper-scissors!
It doesn't matter if you have it or not.
Rock-paper-scissors!
I'm most interested in winning.
Can we decide?
Rock-paper-scissors!
We can't decide.
Rock-paper-scissors!
One, two...
Rock-paper-scissors!
It's good.
We'll decide the champion.
Champion?
Seriously?
We'll decide the champion.
The first place goes to...
Rock-paper-scissors!
She won!
Rock-paper-scissors!
She's in 8th place.
Nakamori won in 8th place.
Rock-paper-scissors!
5th place.
Rock-paper-scissors!
6th place and 7th place.
She's in 5th place.
She's amazing.
She's way above her rank.
Yeah, it's just me.
But she's amazing.
She's in 3rd and 4th place.
I'm looking forward to it!
Let's start with Torado.
Serika Nagano.
Serika and I have been dancing together for a long time.
I have confidence in dancing and I'm relieved if she's with me.
That's why I chose her as my first choice.
We've been friends since the beginning.
I'm happy that we're in the same team and we can perform the same song.
Now, Oguri-san, please.
Who will you choose?
Who will you choose as your center?
Oguri-san is...
Wow!
This is...
This makes me crazy!
Wow!
This makes me crazy!
Hurry up!
It's not over yet, Sora-chan!
Yes, Yabasaki Sora-san!
Wow!
Sora-san is...
Wow!
This makes me crazy!
Wow!
Yabasaki Sora-chan is with me in my first choice.
When I saw her singing, I could see her facial expressions,
her dancing skills,
and whether she absorbs things quickly.
When I saw and felt it up close, I thought, "Sora- chan is good."
Oguri-san said my facial expressions were gorgeous,
and that's why I chose her.
Now, Sato-san, please.
Now, 17-year-old junior, who will you choose?
I like this place a lot.
I'm almost a senior.
I'm almost a junior.
There are so many people here.
Wow!
This is fun!
Now, Sato-san, please.
Asaina Nami-san.
Asaina Nami-san, Sato-san.
You chose a reliable senior.
I wanted to choose Asaina Nami-san because she is a captain.
I chose her because I thought she would tell me things I haven't noticed before.
When Ai-chan called me, I was really surprised.
I didn't think Ai-chan would call me directly, so I was really surprised.
Now, Nami-san from the north.
What will you do, Furuyama-san?
Well, Nami-san, please.
When I heard Yuka-chan's song for the first time in the same group as Yuka-chan at the song screening, I was so moved that I almost cried with her song.
(Yuka-chan's song)
Furuyama-san also chose a girl who is good at dancing and has a good balance.
Furuyama-san told me that I was dancing in a way that I couldn't do, and I was doing my best to express myself, so I think I got a lot of evaluation.
Well, Yamauchi-san, please.
Shiba Ini-san.
First of all, I want to choose someone who I can rely on the most from the AKB members.
That's why I chose Yurin-chan.
I never thought that Zucchi would choose me.
I really didn't imagine it, so I was really surprised.
Then, Asako-san, please.
Akiyama Yurina-chan.
As a lifelong researcher, we've been doing basic lessons together for about two months.
I knew what kind of personality she had.
Akiyama-san really has leadership and supports me in many ways.
That's why I chose her.
As a team, it's easier for me to work with her.
She also has motivation, so I think that's why she chose me.
Then, Kisao-san, please.
Wow, that's interesting.
Then, Kisao-san, please.
I wanted to choose Minako-no-seri-gacha, but it's been taken away recently.
Then, Kisao-san, please.
Wow, that's interesting.
Then, Kisao-san, please.
I wanted to choose Minako-no-seri-gacha, but it's been taken away recently.
Chin-chan.
Oh!
This is...
Wow!
The atmosphere and aura looked different from the others, and I chose it because I was attracted to the dance.
I was very happy.
I've always liked dancing performances because they're so cool, and I thought I could absorb a lot of your good points because we were able to perform together.
Thank you for your hard work.
- Well then... - What will you do?
- I'll go with Motanobe. - Oh, Motanobe!
I thought you were good at dancing, so I chose you because I thought you'd be able to dance with me.
When I announced it in front of the leaders, I was the most excited and excited, so I'd be happy if you could choose me.
One person from each team has been recruited.
Four people remaining.
What kind of group will they be able to form?
- This is fun! - Is it really fun?
- This is too much fun! - Let me hear it!
- This is crazy! Wait, first of all... - Yes?
- Isn't it crazy that Kurano and Narumi have won in a row? - It's crazy!
- It's crazy!
- They really have it! - Seriously, it's amazing!
- They said, "It's coming, it's coming," didn't they? - Yes!
- And now it's Oguri-san, right? - Yes, they have it!
- Wow! - As expected of the center!
- Wow, we've gone so far that we've lost our voices. - It's crazy!
- Wow! - It's amazing!
- And even more, the first one to be chosen was... - Yes.
- Nagano Serika-chan. - Nagano Serika-chan.
- Well, I'm not sure if I can accept it, but we're of the same generation. - You've heard of her, haven't you?
- Yes, we used to be friends. - Yes.
- And Nagano Serika-chan is really good at dancing. - Yes.
- She's famous for it. - Yes.
- So I'm sure she'll talk about dancing and help us organize things.
- I'm not sure if I can accept it. - Yes.
- Also, Sato Airi-chan... - Yes, yes.
- Yes, she's a junior, so... - Yes.
- The current captain... - It's crazy!
- Asai Nanami-chan's choice of seniors...
- Airi-chan's personality is already showing. - Wow!
- But I think... - You're a straight-forward person.
- From AKB48 to AKB48... - Wow!
- Out of all of them, Shitao-san is the most common... - Yes, yes.
- Is it "chance"? - Yes, "chance".
- Yes, she chose "chance". - Wow!
- Even for us, we thought that Blackpink's rap was amazing. - Yes, yes.
- But Shitao-san was able to capture this one-shot dance, and it was like a "sensei's eye" or something like that.
Now, I'd like to move on to the second round.
With a draft by the leader, eight groups were completed.
Shitao-san, what's next?
The tasks involved in the group are...
I will now announce the tasks, songs, and compositions.
