AISubs v3.5
On February 21st, President Fujiwara of Yoshimoto Creative Agency made an announcement.
All Yoshimoto entertainers who heard the announcement were...
This is amazing!
...shocked for the first time.
In addition, the shock was for this idol group as well.
This is so funny!
What is this?
Are we done?
This was so funny!
This is so funny!
What on earth was announced?
Out of 6,000 Yoshimoto entertainers, this is the 3rd series of "Sakamichi" followed by "Nogizaka" and "Eyakizaka".
This is an all-time record until "Yoshimotozaka46" sold well.
"Now, the new show has just begun.
I'd like to ask Matsuba-san of Nogizaka Entertainment to join me."
I'm Matsuba-san.
Nice to meet you.
No, I have to ask you to talk.
Are you okay?
And do you know this person?
This person? No, I don't know him very well either.
Oh, really? Nice to meet you.
This person is...
Yes.
Quiz King.
Quiz King, right?
Yes.
Quiz King-san.
You're Furukawa-san, right?
Yes, I am. Furukawa-san, I'll give you information about you.
Are you going now?
Are you okay?
I'm sweating.
You're sweating, you're sweating, you're not sweating.
This is Furukawa Yohei-san, who is knowledgeable about Nogizaka and Keyaki-zaka as a quiz writer.
Akimoto Yasushi also has a keen eye for and information about the Sakamichi series.
Well...Nogizaka, then Keyakizaka, and now Yoshimoto-zaka.
What do you think about making them?
Well...from Nogizaka's point of view, Yoshimoto- zaka is...
I mean, you're all doing your best as a proper idol group,
but all of a sudden, Yoshimoto-zaka comes in.
I know Nogizaka and Keyakizaka's fans are angry about it.
They're angry.
I'm sure you're angry about it.
I'm a little angry about it.
Right?
My fans are angry about it.
I'm really angry about it.
Right.
Don't hurt me!
My fans say that a lot.
I think it's a start from a reverse situation.
I think it's a big minus.
When I was told about this show, I said, "No way!"
An idol group from Yoshimoto-zaka.
Until now, Yoshimoto-zaka has auditioned for various idol groups 25 years ago,
but they always fail!
Yoshimoto-zaka is not an idol group, but a group of entertainers and talents.
To be honest, I don't think it's possible for Yoshimoto-zaka to be an idol group.
To be honest.
I don't think it's possible for Yoshimoto-zaka to be an idol group.
Idol, right?
Yes.
What does "idol" mean?
Hmm...
Cute.
It means "cute".
There are many kinds of "cute".
Like "cute" or "unfinished".
Like "I want to support you".
The word "idol" originally came from "guzou" which is its foreign language.
So, it's like worshiping "guzou".
It's like a target for worshiping.
It's like a target for stealing people's hearts.
That's what "idol" means.
That's why I don't think Yoshimoto-zaka will succeed this time.
They have to be worshiped, right?
They have to walk on eggshells, drink and smoke cigarettes.
I don't know if it's a boy group, a girl group or a boy and girl group.
Anyway, there was a press conference this time, right?
Yes.
Let's take a look at the press conference.
Yes, yes.
10 a.m.
Isn't it strange?
Yoshimoto-zaka comedians were called out without being asked anything.
Thank you for your hard work.
I don't think you've heard about it at all.
President Fujiwara has made an important announcement for you.
It's like a challenge for you.
If you want to know anything about it, you can ask President Fujiwara.
I hope you'll listen to it.
President Fujiwara has made an important announcement for you.
Many media have also rushed to you.
I'm grateful that he did the narration for me.
Good morning!
It's like a documentary.
You were called at 10 a.m. without asking anything.
You really don't know, do you?
Koumoto-kun, have you heard of it?
No, I haven't heard of it at all.
You haven't heard of it, have you?
For now, you should come at 10 a.m.
From Osaka, Tomiushi-san.
Yes!
From Osaka on purpose.
Tomiushi-san!
On the Shinkansen at 6 a.m.
My name is Ritton-san.
What is it, Yoshimura?
I've never seen you before.
You look like a piece of shit.
That's true.
I've never seen you before.
Gera Gera Seiji!
I've never seen you before.
Are you okay?
Not at the moment.
That's not all.
Actually, entertainers from all over Japan,
Sapporo, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Okinawa, and Osaka,
have been live-streaming without asking anything.
In addition,
live-streaming Asian entertainers, Thai, Indonesian, and Taiwanese entertainers...
Wow!
While all entertainers from all over Japan are watching,
President Fujiwara has appeared.
Please announce it!
Yes!
I'll announce it!
Yoshimoto...
We have 6,000 members.
Yes.
Yoshimoto-zaka...
Forty-six...
Will be formed!
Please announce it!
Without being able to understand President Fujiwara's announcement,
entertainers stand up in dismay.
Seriously, seriously, Yoshimoto-san, 46, this is amazing, isn't it?
Toshikoro, what do you think about this in detail?
Everyone, please take a look at this.
Hello everyone, I'm Akimoto.
Recently, President Osaki has said that he wants to create a group called "Yoshimoto" that continues with "Nogizako46" and "Keigizako46".
So you can see the Akimoto vision, can't you?
I would like to ask entertainers in Yoshimoto for their cooperation in creating "Yoshimotozaka46".
Well, I don't know if "Yoshimotozaka46" really exists like "Nogizako46" or "Keigizako46",
but I'm sure that "Yoshimotozaka46" exists like "Noborizaka46", "Kudarizaka46", and many others.
So I would like to produce "Yoshimotozaka46".
You can apply for "Yoshimotozaka46" regardless of gender and age.
And I would like to audition for "Yoshimotozaka46" and create the strongest group in Yoshimotozaka46.
I don't know if "Yoshimotozaka46" really exists like "Noborizaka46" or "Keigizako46",
but I would like to ask entertainers in Yoshimotozaka46 for their cooperation in creating "Yoshimotozaka46".
"Keagizaka46", which debuted in 2001 as the second installment of the series,
is now trying to form "Yoshimotozaka46" as the third installment of the most popular idol group in Japan.
Everyone, do you understand what I just said?
I don't know what you're talking about.
What do you mean?
That's why you should apply for "Yoshimotozaka46" now.
When Osaka comedians heard about the announcement...
What? What? What?
What? Serious? Serious idol?
That's what I think.
What? Seriously?
Indonesia?
Why are you laughing? It's difficult.
But if Akibosu-san comes out like this, the president is serious.
No, I'm really serious.
It's a real chance. Who do you want to apply for this?
That's right. Even if you have established yourself as an entertainer, you may want to try something new.
Until now, it's been a little ticklish, but thanks to this, you want to do your best.
It's become a boom, but right now, there are entertainers who have lost their jobs.
What do you do for a living?
Of course I do my best.
You're too Sky Inc.
How about 8.6 seconds? 8.6 seconds.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Mr. President.
You're working hard. Thank you for calling me like this.
It's been a while since I've seen a camera like this.
At first, when they heard that they were idols, they were half-hearted entertainers.
They were interested in knowing that it was a serious project.
Is there an age limit?
There is no age limit.
No, but if you say you'll do it, can you do it?
But Akibosu-san has an audition.
It hasn't been decided yet.
What?
It hasn't been decided yet.
You have to do a lot of things now.
I have to do a lot of things now.
When I look at this kind of society, I always stand up and say something.
It's okay. It's been six years.
It's okay.
You shouldn't stand up.
My heel is up.
It's not up. It's straight up.
It's vertical.
Yoshimura-san.
If it's the other side, is love allowed or not allowed?
That's right.
What happens if it's this side?
What happens if it's love? Is love prohibited?
That's right.
I'm sorry, but I can only say "this year".
Oh, Mr. Abe!
I'm sorry, but I can only say "this year".
I'm sorry, Mr. Abe!
Now that the A.I. Corps has been formed, is there going to be a general election?
Is there going to be a general election?
I'm sorry, but I can only say "this year".
Yaku-chan, you too.
We only have three fans, but is it okay for us to shake hands?
It's okay for us to shake hands.
I haven't heard of it.
Why are you wearing that outfit?
It's called "come with war".
Money is distributed by Yoshimoto.
It's very realistic.
If it were as it is now, I probably wouldn't do it.
That's true.
Please be careful about that.
I'll make sure you do that.
Yassi Akimoto produced and 46 Yoshimoto Zaka produced this year.
Will it go well?
There were various reactions. How about you, Mr. Higashino?
Is it true? No, I'm just kidding.
I want to be ridiculed.
I don't care about Mr. Abe.
You're standing there to be ridiculed.
It's like that, but I was in Koumoto.
I was in Koumoto and Koumoto called the air and said, "I will aim for the center."
As soon as it became online news, Koumoto was flaming.
It's fast.
It's not influential. It's not influential.
It's not well-received.
From the professional point of view, from the professional point of view of idols, what do you think? To be honest.
Well, but I think it's important as an idol to have individuality.
That's why you all have great individuality, so I think I can do it.
I think it's good.
What did you think of this area? Honestly, watching it on VTR.
Well, I think it's a big burden.
Mr. Narration also has a narration of Mr. Nogizaka.
Also, I was interested in Yoshimoto's mark.
This is it, right?
Does this have any meaning?
Purple is the triangle of Nogizaka. Green is the triangle of Keyakizaka.
It's on top of it, so it's carrying a hill.
This is the highest praise.
At least the lowest praise.
As the picture shows, it must be recognized by senior fans.
First of all, there is no cuteness in this mark.
The cuteness of "thank you" is confusing.
This program is brought to you by Sony Music.
Thank you very much.
Yes, this Yoshimotozaka46 has also announced his future ambitions.
First of all, here it is!
Sony Music to make a major debut!
Yeah!
No, but there is a promise that you can make a debut for the time being.
Sony Music.
Moreover, you will also do this program, right? Until birth.
Yes.
And there is one more thing, right?
Yes, and here is another ambition!
Tokyo Dome concert and joining Kohaku Utagassen!
That's right.
It's like you can't escape from the police station anymore.
Have you already been to the Tokyo Dome?
For the first time last year, in November.
How long did it take you to get there?
Seven years.
It took you seven years!
Yes.
Do you have any thoughts about it?
I had a lot!
Aren't you happy?
I was always happy, really.
So, Yoshimoto will do it all year round.
No, you can't!
Really, well...
You should say it!
It was announced live, right?
Kikiya's surprise performance at the Tokyo Dome!
It was a big hit!
Ah, Nogizaka will do it?
That's right, Nogizaka will do it!
What will it be like?
When I did it, the members were happy and cried, but the fans were also crying!
This, this, this!
This is it! It took seven years for everyone to do it!
This, this, this! This is it!
Everyone will be happy with one!
This is it!
So I'm wondering what we're going to do with it from now on...
That's right...
In my opinion...
Again, looking at the V, I think it's impossible!
Actually, there is one more VTR!
Yes!
After the press conference, we interviewed the entertainers and their reactions, so please watch it!
Please watch it!
I wonder what they're doing...
That's right...
Hmm...
Looking at Akimoto-san's interview, I understand that he's serious about it!
That's right, that's right...
But I can't imagine it at all, even now!
After all, Akimoto Yasushi-san is a producer in Paris...
It's not a mistake!
I think everyone is thinking "what is this?" right now...
Something terrible might happen!
I'd like to see what's going to happen...
I'd like to see how it's going to turn out...
What kind of impressions...
Look, look, look...
I feel sorry for you...
Tomato...
Half-hearted...
And so on...
So...
If I'm really honest with you...
I don't know why...
I don't know...
It's difficult...
I was just surprised...
I didn't ask for anything...
I got a Shinkansen no walk-through ticket...
They told me to go back in the afternoon...
I'm 54 years old...
I'm taller than my shoes...
It's been like that for generations...
So...
Were you 46?
Yes, I was.
I thought it would be a nuisance for 45 people...
That's all I think about...
I can play the harmonica...
Don't go in there...
So...
Should I do it now?
Can I do it?
You can do it...
I won't give you this...
I won't tell you...
I was going to do it from the beginning...
I was wondering when I should do it...
Akimoto-san...
Can you see how much I can play the harmonica?
It's amazing!
Kogori-san, you're good at music...
You're the worst human being...
I feel like cheering for you...
I've been playing it since my debut...
If you look at me without colored glasses...
It's a chance...
For Tomio Shibamoto, who is 58 years old...
It's here...
I'm going to have my first vocal audition in 2006...
For the vocal audition...
I want to be stolen by Dean's "Kono Mama Kimi Dake"...
But I've decided to watch "Kohaku Miru" with Oya- san on New Year's Day.
Together!
You don't want to go out, do you?
But I don't know what to do.
It's Yoshimoto's idol, so I can't sing and dance.
I can't leave it up to Johnny's-san.
I can't leave it up to the real AKB-san.
It's not like that.
It's an original gag.
It's not a gag, it's a dance.
Even if you say it's a gag, it's not like that.
It's a movement, right?
There's a movement like this, right?
Yes, there is.
It's like sumo.
Yes, yes.
Teso, look at me!
Mei, mei, I don't know what you mean.
So it's not like, "Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!"
And then there's "hachun".
That's right, it's like "Akimoto-san".
Please put this in a good mood.
It's the opposite.
Akimoto-san, please!
Please use me, please use me!
Hey, please!
Please, I'm begging you!
Please!
Wow, wow!
Can I steal it?
Yes, you can.
Well, it's like this.
So in the end, everyone is still half-hearted and half-gaggy.
I wonder how serious they are.
It's quite chaotic.
It's like you haven't been able to handle it all yet.
How many people know you?
I'm from Osaka, so I've seen your series.
There are quite a few people who know you.
But I...
I thought you were really cute.
It's the first time I've heard of you.
How many people know you?
I'm from Osaka, so I've seen you on TV.
I thought you were really cute.
It's the first time I've heard of you.
I'm sorry, but I can't hear you.
I'm 57 years old.
There's a lot of news about Yoshimoto Saka.
I honestly think that Yoshimoto Saka's talent may not win.
By the way, Mr. Higashino.
I have a chance to apply for it. What will you do?
This program was provided by Sony Music.
Are we done now?
I didn't know.
It's funny.
By the way, Mr. Higashino.
I have a chance to apply for it. What will you do?
I won't apply for it.
It's not strange for some people to apply for it.
I think you're getting used to it.
I see.
When you first appeared in an idol group, you were often asked, "What is this?"
But once you get used to it, you like it.
Once you get used to it, you may be recognized as the third Sakado group.
Is it possible?
Are you trying too hard?
Well...
It's possible.
You're trying too hard, aren't you?
