AISubs v3.5
"Extreme Color Club", "Animal Lighting Club", "English Club", and today, the fourth club will be born!
It was a month ago, after "Weekly AKB" studio recording.
One of the members, Sayaka Akimoto, asked the producer Goto for an advice.
I want you to create "Basketball Club".
Yes, understood.
Can I ask you for an advice?
Yes, please.
Thank you very much.
Why does she want to create "Basketball Club"?
When we asked the CEO herself...
I've been playing basketball since I was in elementary school.
I've learned how important it is to know your teammates and how hard it is to be yourself.
Now that it's so popular and getting attention, I want to do what I'm doing now with all my strength.
I thought it would be nice if you could show me.
So I asked you for an advice.
Thank you very much.
In order to realize Akimoto's wish, the program launched a new project.
It is...
There are many talented kids active in the sports world now.
So...
"AKB BASKETBALL"...
"FIGHT ON"!
"AKB48" and "TOKYO NO.1" elementary school students will have a serious match!
"AKB48" will be united as a basketball club!
It's a two-week story!
In the end, a terrible ending was waiting for them!
AKB48 VS TOKYO NO.1 Elementary School Students Basketball Edition!
Two weeks after recording in the studio...
One, two! One, two! One, two! One, two!
We love basketball!
Did you get it?
Yes.
It's pretty tough, isn't it?
'Kay!
AKB Basketball Club!
'Kay!
Captain Sayaka Akimoto!
She was selected as a team representative in middle school.
I've been selected as a team representative in Osaka.
I'm also a basketball fan.
A basketball fan!
She's been selected as an outstanding player in a preliminary tournament.
Are you a basketball fan?
I'm not!
But, I used to be in the tennis club.
I only have motivation and guts!
A woman of motivation and guts!
A beginner in basketball, Kana Kobayashi!
By the way, she used to be in the tennis club.
And so, AKB Basketball Club was born!
But...
Do you know how many people play basketball?
I know.
It has to be more than five people.
Well, we can't play, but...
If we work hard, we'll get more and more people.
With our bond.
There's also a secret weapon we haven't called out yet.
Well, it's just the three of us today, but...
In order for me to win, I'm going to call out a great coach!
Captain Akimoto, who wants to win no matter what, has asked for a great coach for AKB Basketball Club.
But, who could it be?
Captain Akimoto, who wants to win no matter what, has asked for a great coach for AKB Basketball Club.
Hello, I'm basketball player Shumada Shuhei.
AKB Basketball Coach Shumada Shuhei!
He has been in the basketball club for three years.
He is a basketball player with two years of experience in Nagano Prefecture.
Coach Shumada.
Thank you for having me today!
Thank you!
First of all, Coach Shumada is going to check each member's ability and do a one-on-one match.
Thank you!
The first challenger is Captain Akimoto.
From a sharp feint to a quick dribble!
Captain Akimoto has decided to shoot easily!
How tall are you?
I'm tall.
Because you are tall.
Next, he is going to check Masuda's ability.
Yeah!
Wow!
Yeah!
From a dribble to a technique show, Masuda is a former Osaka player.
At the end of the match, he showed his ability with a fadeaway shot.
It's been a while since I've done this, so my muscles are trembling.
I'm nervous.
At the end of the match, Kobayashi, who is a beginner in basketball, is going to challenge himself.
It's hard to get in, but he aims for the shoot without giving up.
I can't do it!
Now that they know what they can do, they start their individual practice.
I want to do the free throw as many times as I can and regain my senses.
Captain Akimoto aims for it herself and starts practicing the free throw.
How many times do I have to do it?
Can Akimoto regain her senses?
It's hard. I'm annoyed.
I want to get better at it.
Kobayashi, a beginner who wants to get better, starts his basic practice with Coach Shibata and Bantuman.
Lower your fingertips as much as you can and try not to get caught while guarding with your body.
Around here?
Yes.
What you're doing now is aiming for the corner of the board.
Strike the ball into the board thoroughly.
It's pretty hard.
Now, Matsuda tries to improve his shoot in various situations.
Actually, Akimoto had a special feeling for free- throwing.
I can get a foul when I win or lose a game, but when I think about a lot of things, I always lose.
I aimed for a little higher.
At the time, Kobayashi was...
The shoot is like this, and it ends like this.
The goal is like this, so you don't have to worry about the spin, and it's easier for the ball to hit the goal.
I'd like to watch more and learn how to move properly and I'd like to do my best.
The practice continued.
They want to deepen their unity with AKB48.
But they don't have enough members.
AKB basketball with only three members.
At this time, they weren't even ready for a match.
And two days later...
The practice with only three members continued.
AKB basketball has something to say.
You've improved a lot.
Let's have you play a match.
That's fast!
Good morning.
If you lose to the team you prepared today, you won't reach your goal.
So you have to win.
The opponent of AKB basketball's first practice match is...
The best 32 teams of Tokyo Championships, Kogane-i Mini Basketball Club!
Let's do it!
This practice match was organized by the Tokyo No. 1 Elementary School Team.
The rules are three-on-three and five-minute halves.
Will the members be able to show their practice results?
The first one to shoot was Masuda!
As expected of the best in the team, a technician!
Here, a chance ball for a beginner like Kobayashi...
Shoot! Shoot! Pass it to me!
Will Kobayashi be able to score under the goal he has practiced so much?
Shoot! Shoot! Pass it to me!
Awesome!
You did it!
You did it, Kobayashi!
It's only been three days since Kobayashi started playing basketball.
He demonstrated his practice results in a match!
After that, it's one mind, one body!
A consistent development continues!
And then, the final round!
A.K.B. basketball's tired colors continue to stand out and steal points!
With 7 seconds left in the game, the score is 2 points behind!
In this important moment, Akimoto scored 2 free throws!
I always win matches and lose matches.
But when I have to, I can't show it. I always end up losing.
Now, it's time for Akimoto to show his shame!
The first one is important!
7 seconds!
OK!
With Akimoto's outstanding concentration, he scored his first free throw!
If he scores another one, it'll be a tie!
Will it be?!
2 free throws!
3!
2!
The practice match ends here!
The result is a tie and Akimoto lost!
What did you think of the match?
I think I was stronger than I thought.
And if you shoot more accurately, you'll have a higher chance of winning.
You can do it in a short period of time, so do it well!
Sister, do your best!
Isn't this score the most growing score?
I'm glad I felt this increase.
I think I could win if I made sure of it, so I didn't have enough importance for each shot.
I want to practice so that I can move a little before the game and so that I can enter the shot properly.
In order to do that, a new challenge was found.
Three days later.
It's a match against a first-class elementary school student in Tokyo.
There weren't enough three people, so I invited them.
Who did Captain Akimoto invite?
There are only three people left in AKB Basketball.
There, Captain Akimoto recruits a new member.
Who is it?
It's Takahashi Minami and Miyazawa Star!
The new members are Takahashi Minami and Miyazawa Star!
Are they basketball experienced?
I used to play basketball when I was in first grade, but I haven't broken it at all since then.
You've regained your senses, haven't you?
I think I got it in a slam dunk from elementary school.
But I noticed it after the high shot.
The elementary school student may be small.
What are you talking about?
Think about Miyagi.
Miyagi is a healthy world.
You're amazing. You're fast.
Let's do our best to get used to it from the next day!
Now there are five members.
Can you play a match?
Can you play a match with two people?
Miyazawa, who had been playing basketball for three years in junior high school, blows a new wind into the team.
However, there is a problem.
The goal for elementary school students is 45 centimeters lower than the official goal.
All they can do is practice to reach the goal.
I think it's better than not doing it at all.
I hope I can help the team a little.
Another new member, Takahashi, is...
In my life, I've thrown away all my sports club activities.
I don't want to do it anymore.
Takahashi has no sports experience.
But the members never abandon him.
They teach him the important basics of basketball carefully.
In order to respond to such members' feelings, Takahashi also practices hard.
I want to do it. I want to be able to put my hand in it.
The new members will make AKB basketball stronger!
And then, two days later...
When the five members head to the practice ground...
Let's practice together!
I want to do it together!
It's a surprise!
Yagami, Minegishi, Kuramochi, and Takayanagi have come here to join the club!
Nice to meet you!
Are you all beginners?
Yes, we are all beginners.
Now, there are nine members in AKB basketball!
Even though they are beginners, they have a lot of fighting power!
If they don't improve, there will be no victory!
Rebound and defense.
Those who control the rebound control the game.
I've seen it in manga.
Hit it!
I hit it!
One week until the game!
Even in limited time, they practice hard!
Not only with experience, but also with everyone's help, I hope we can win.
I want you to make basketball better!
AKB basketball started with this one word!
With new members, the day will come when their unity will be tested!
Will they be able to defeat Tokyo's No. 1 elementary school team?
The day of the match!
It's finally the day of the match!
The opposing team has already been practicing.
A.K.B. Basketball will be playing against Aobasho Mini Basketball Training Session.
This year, they won the Tokyo Tournament and won the national championship as well.
The members who achieved their Tokyo No. 1 skills are...
Wow, it's so fast.
It's so cool, even though it's so small.
Here, Captain Akimoto will give away the uniform that he ordered himself.
Isn't this a waste of food?
What is it?
Ta-da!
It's the uniform I wore in middle school!
No. 5 is Miyazawa, who was the vice-captain in middle school.
No. 6 is Minegishi. No. 7 is Kuramoshi. Both of them are beginners.
No. 9 is Masuda. No. 11 is Kobayashi.
No. 10 is Takahashi, who loves Slam Dunk.
No. 12 is Yagami. No. 13 is Takayanagi.
No. 4!
No. 4? No. 4?
Akimoto!
Yay!
Akimoto!
Gorilla!
Gorilla?!
It's not a gorilla!
And then, No. 4, Captain Akimoto!
He looks somewhat like Akagi.
He changed into his uniform and is warming up.
His excitement for the match is increasing.
It's important to win a match and whether we can make good use of it during the break.
I hope we can all do that.
Let's go and meet the members.
Bye-bye!
Thank you!
Bye-bye!
Everyone came to cheer you on!
Thank you!
Thank you for coming!
The kids and the coach who had a practice match last time came to cheer you on!
In addition!
Your friends came, too!
Who?! What are you doing?!
We came to cheer you on!
Really?!
I'm about to cry!
Don't cry! It's just getting started!
I want to do my best, so please cheer me on today, too!
Thank you!
Bye-bye!
15 minutes until the match begins!
Next to the members who are running in...
Once the shoot is decided, we start with a nice shoot!
For example, if Sayaka says it...
Sayaka! Sayaka! Like that!
And we all do it together!
Let's do our best!
Let's shout it out loud!
Let's work together!
Let's do our best!
Finally, it's time for the final battle!
Now, AKB Basketball and Uijin have faced off against each other.
East Murayama City Aoba Elementary School's Aoba Mini Basketball Team.
