AISubs v3.7
Good evening, everyone. I'm Miyon Mukaichi, co- director of the AKB48 group.
Today, December 8th, is a memorable day for the 15th anniversary of the AKB48 Theater.
Originally, it was an important day for the members of each group to gather at the theater and express their gratitude to the fans, and set off for a new year,
but I'm terribly sorry for being able to perform remotely like this.
2020 was a year in which our lives changed dramatically.
The theater performances, which were the focus of the year, were no longer held, and the handshakes held every week were no longer held, and everything that was normal was gone.
Still, I think the only thing left for us was the enthusiasm of the members and staff and the fans who supported us.
Today has become like this again, but I am very happy to be able to celebrate the 15th anniversary with all the members and everyone who is watching now.
In order to protect this group, we will continue to look forward.
AKB48 is an idol you can go see even if you are far away.
So, AKB48 Theater 15th Anniversary Commemoration Streaming, start!
Good evening, everyone! We are AKB48!
I'm AKB48 Team A's Miyako and Miyazaki Miho. Nice to meet you!
I'm Team K's Captain Komiharu and Komiyama Haruka. Nice to meet you!
I'm Team B's Captain Sappho and Iwatate Kano. Nice to meet you!
I'm Team 4's Asai Nanami. Nice to meet you!
I'm Team 8's Momoka Onishi. Nice to meet you!
Today is Seattle's 15th anniversary and we're doing a commemorative stream.
We originally planned to do a 28-song solo medley performance,
but that was postponed due to schedule reasons.
We were thinking of members' self-produced aces and costumes,
so how did you guys prepare for it?
But Samo-san, you know the name of the song, right?
Yes, I know.
I chose "Yasai Sisters" as my lottery number one song.
Wow!
That's amazing!
It's amazing, isn't it?
I chose "Yasai Sisters" out of the other three songs.
I was thinking about what costumes I should wear,
but I couldn't do it today, so I decided to go all out with "Yasai".
Mio-san, you're twitching. Are you okay?
I'm twitching!
I noticed something weird at home.
Is it okay?
Samo-san!
My shoes!
Oh, no!
These are my shoes.
I hurt my foot.
Oh, you did!
You scared me!
I'm sorry!
They came off!
I haven't put on heels yet.
I'm sorry!
Your feet are in worse condition today.
Yes, they are.
I was able to do it, so I'm grateful for my health.
I can do it in perfect condition.
How about you, Onishi-san?
It's hard for me to say which song it is, but...
Just say it!
What?
Just say it!
Can I say it?
Is it true?
Just say it!
Can I say it?
I won't say "wings"
It's a great song!
I love this song.
I couldn't say "kujibiki" (kuzibiki) that day.
But when I was looking at the list of songs, I decided that this song was the best.
Wow!
Is it true?
It's true!
So I'm happy about it.
I'm trying to think about the direction.
She uses a bench for various songs.
How about you, Asahi-chan?
Yes.
I won't say the song title.
You won't say it?
I can't say the song title either, but I'm preparing a project.
Please give me a hint.
What kind of project?
It's also related to AKB48 Theater.
What kind of project do you want us to do?
Please look forward to it.
98 songs produced by the members.
We will let you know as soon as it is decided.
AKB48 Theater's 15th anniversary broadcast.
First of all, I would like to tape the theater's run, which is an annual event of the theater's anniversary performance.
However, unfortunately, none of the members were able to gather at the theater today, so I would like to use only one run as a tape measure.
I would like to use the other one when everyone safely gathers at the theater.
Well, there are two runs at the theater.
Well, I would like to use the first one as a tape measure and ask Momoka Onishi for it.
Thank you very much.
This is already a huge responsibility.
I really didn't think I would be able to use a tape measure one day, so I'm very honored.
Excuse me.
Well, I think there is an image that you can only use a tape measure if you have a very heavy body or you have been chosen.
That's right.
After all, this is...
Oh, I'm going to measure it.
I'm really excited about measuring it straight.
If you make a mistake...
Please don't put too much pressure on me.
Can you do it well?
Oh, but it's beautiful.
But if you say tape measure, isn't it Minigis-san?
Because she is a first-generation student, she can see everything.
Minigis-san...
No, no, no, I'm sorry.
Yes, yes.
Maybe, but I've never done a tape measure before.
What?
It's your first time, right?
Why? I don't think I've done it before. I haven't been chosen before.
You haven't?
I thought it would fall off, but I didn't think it would happen.
So I hope Onishi-chan never makes a mistake.
Yes.
It's hot.
I didn't think it would happen.
It's over! It's really beautiful!
Oh, it's beautiful!
Wow!
I'm glad.
It's really beautifully taped.
I'm sure Minigis-san will be satisfied with it.
It's beautifully taped.
Thank you for taking me with you.
Thank you very much.
I'm glad it went well.
I'm glad.
I'm relieved.
Yes, so...
What?
That's right.
For the other pillar...
That's right.
As a first-time representative...
That's right.
I want you to take it for me.
Thank you very much.
I'm looking forward to it.
Yes, please take a video of it on YouTube and regret it.
Yes.
Yes, so...
We will tape the rest of it.
Yes.
Today's broadcast will be divided into teams A, K, B, 4 and 8.
We will look back on AKB48's 15 years of history.
Yes.
Before that...
We have an important announcement for our fans.
What is it?
Please be mentally prepared.
What?
That much?
Please.
Yes.
I will announce it now.
This is it!
January 2021, live at the tdc hall!
Yay!
I'm happy!
I'm really happy about this.
I'm very happy!
It's the annual January tdc hall live, and it will be held again next year!
Thank you very much!
In January of next year, we will be holding a request hour for all 48 groups to gather,
but due to COVID-19 restrictions and difficult circumstances,
we will be holding an individual AKB48 15 hour live next January!
15 hours!
This is unprecedented.
There will be 7 shows in total, and it will be a total of 15 hours of live performances!
I'm glad it's not just one day.
That's right.
If you sleep for 8 hours, you'll only have one hour of makeup and then you'll have a live performance.
What?
Isn't that right?
15 hours of live!
One day is only 24 hours, right?
Yes.
It was difficult to do a 15 hour live performance.
It's okay.
Then I would like to announce the schedule as well!
Here it is!
January 22nd Friday, Yoru Park is Team A.
23rd Saturday, Asa Park is Team K.
Today's Noon Park is Team B. Yoru Park is Team FOUR.
January 24th Sunday, Asa Park is Team EIGHT.
Noon Park is a first-generation selection concert for members from 1st generation to 15th generation.
Yoru Park is for draftees, Team EIGHT, 16th generation.
Yoru Park is a second-generation selection concert for new members.
Wow, that's a lot!
How do you feel, Captain Komiharu and Saho?
This is the third time for Team K and Team B to stand on TDC since we became new.
We would like to show the history of Team K and Team B and show the history of Team K and Team B as well!
That's great! How about you, Saho?
We were selected for each team's TDC Hall during our last tour.
We will be doing it again in about a year's time.
I hope we can show everyone's growth and the new side of Team K and Team B.
I'm looking forward to it!
First-generation and second-generation.
This is a first for us, isn't it?
We don't really have a senior-junior distinction.
It will be a special concert that you can only see on this day.
The members will announce it later.
This concert will also be a team-like performance.
We decided on a setlist for AKB48's 15th Anniversary 15-hour Live and came up with a concept.
What kind of concept is it?
It's this!
AKB48's 15th miracle concert!
Wow!
AKB has a history.
Wow!
Team A's first day of display is a list of songs released between 2005 and 2007.
Team K is from 2008 to 2009.
Team B is from 2010 to 2011.
Team 4 is from 2012 to 2013.
Team 8 is from 2014 to 2015.
Team 1 is from 2016 to 2017.
Team 2 is from 2018 to 2020.
That means...
Yes?
If you go through all 7 concerts...
Yes?
AKB48's 15th year will be a concert where you can enjoy everything.
Wow!
That's amazing!
Yes!
The audience will be 50% of the venue.
I want to go in!
I like both Team M and Team Kemu, but I don't think there's a double song like Team M.
That's true.
So no matter which concert you go to, you'll be singing a different song.
There won't be a double song.
I think fans will feel like they've become fans since then.
I think that's very emotional.
That's true.
What do you think, Asahi and Onishi?
I think only AKB can do something like this.
I'm really looking forward to it.
I think there will be songs that you don't usually see at concerts or theaters.
I'm really looking forward to it.
And since it's an announcement of an age, I think fans can expect this song to come.
I think that will be one of the things fans will be looking forward to.
I think it's really great.
And there's a chance you'll be singing AKB's early songs before joining AKB.
That's right.
You don't get that kind of experience very often.
That's right.
It'll be a chance for AKB fans to get to know old songs like this.
I think it's really great.
The details of the tickets will be announced on the official blog at 9pm today.
Please check it out!
Thank you!
With that said, we're going to look back at each team's TDC Hall concert setlist,
and look back at AKB48's 15-year history.
Let's start with Team A.
Everyone in Team A!
Yay!
Good evening!
So, Team A has 16 members including me, 17 years old.
January... Good evening!
Ayanan, you're frozen, aren't you?
I've decided on the background.
Are you particular about the background?
The radio is bad, isn't it?
The radio is...
Huh? Good evening!
No, it's not good evening.
Good evening!
I'm asking about the background.
What do you think?
Is it on?
It's off!
It's off. Thank you for your hard work.
Wait, wait.
Good evening.
Huh?
Good evening.
I'm doing my best to participate.
Noina, you've been saying "good evening" all the time.
I've been saying "good evening" all the time, so I'll ignore you for a moment.
So, on Friday, January 22nd, at Yoru Park, 17 people including me and you will be performing.
Thank you for your cooperation.
First of all, Captain Okabe Rin-chan.
How do you feel about the TDC Hall concert being decided?
I'm really happy about it.
We used to do a tour as a team every year, so I was worried about what would happen this year.
I'm really relieved that we can do it again.
We haven't been able to do the same kind of activities as we used to, so I think the fans have been divided into other groups.
I think we can appeal to the fans by saying, "Wait a minute, we're going to have a concert too."
I hope we can have a fun time together.
And I hope we can deepen our bonds and fun times while making lessons and concerts.
I hope we can explode our feelings of wanting to do something together at this concert and have fun.
Thank you very much.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Now, let's look back at AKB48 from 2005 to 2007.
Here we go.
Here it is.
YOKOYAMA YUI, happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Make a wish for yourself.
I'm really happy. Thank you.
The rehearsal was smooth, so I didn't think there would be anything like that.
I tried decorating myself yesterday.
Since yesterday!
I'm happy! Thank you!
Congratulations!
You've been decorating yourself since yesterday.
I'm waiting at home right now, so I bought it on Amazon and sent it to you.
I also bought a cake for myself.
You're having a lot of fun.
You sent me a lot of LINE messages.
A lot of fans sent me messages on Twitter.
You also celebrated AKB.
You also celebrated me.
I'm really happy.
I'm happy.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you very much.
You're so cute.
By the way, how old are you now?
I'm 28 years old.
You're pretty young.
You don't look like you're that old.
28 years old is pretty old.
What do you think? Have you changed your way of thinking since you were young?
I've changed a lot.
I think I've changed a lot.
I joined AKB when I was 16 years old, so it's my 12th year.
In the past, I could only see in front of me, but now I can see the side of me little by little.
The field of view has expanded and it's more fun.
I think there are many young members, but I met a lot of people while I was active as AKB.
I want the field of view to expand and I want you to do what you want to do.
I think AKB is a group of people who shine one by one, so I'm looking forward to it.
It's been a long time.
Thank you very much.
I'm Yui Yokoyama, and I'm glad the field of view has expanded.
Huh?
What's going on?
Wait a minute!
Please don't get out of the frame!
It's not over yet!
It's time for me to say goodbye.
I want to congratulate you.
I want you to come because you're so strong.
You're watching me.
Sii-chan?
Please come out again.
Please say something to Yui Yokoyama as a friend.
Congratulations!
It's like peeking into a remote control.
I'm sorry.
Please leave quickly.
Let's get back to the main subject.
I'd like to look back at 2007 from now on.
Here it is!
As you can see, the main events are as follows.
There were a lot of them, but in December 2005...
Now, 15 years ago, AKB48 Theater opened.
And in January 2006, I made my indie debut with "Sakura no Hanabira".
In February, Team K was born.
In October, I made my first single "Aitakatta" and made my major debut.
In November, I held my first concert as a Japanese teenager.
In December, Team B was born.
And in March 2007, I held my first nationwide tour.
And in May, I auditioned for four seasons.
And in July, I participated in "Himawari Gumi First - Boku no Taiyou Kouen"
And in December, I participated in "NHK Kouhaku Utagassen" for the first time.
That's a lot of love.
We've been through a lot of love for a year since we were formed.
Since then and now...
It's only Mii-chan, Yuki-rin and C-chan.
So I'm sure everyone watching right now...
As a fan...
I'm sure you watched "AKB48" when you weren't a fan.
Does anyone know about this early "AKB"?
No, I didn't know about "forge".
You don't watch it in real-time, do you?
Oh, really?
I think some of you don't have a monologue.
Like "ni-sai".
"Jun-na-sai" is "ni-sai".
"Rei-chan" is "ni-sai".
That's right, it was 15 years ago.
Wow, you're still young.
You're still young.
I don't know much about "AKB" at the time.
But now that I think about it, I really felt like "AKB" at the time.
Like "Kouhaku Utagassen".
"ni-sai" is "ya-wai-ne".
What is your first "AKB" memory?
That's right, what is it?
Um, "Heavy Rotation".
"Heavy Rotation", right?
And that's how I found out about AKB.
I see.
How about you, Zun-chan? You seem to like AKB a lot.
I found out about AKB when I was about 10 years old.
You found out about AKB when you were 10 years old?
Yes, I found out about AKB when I was 10 years old and 2010.
I found out about AKB in 2010.
How about you, Yokoyama-san?
I found out about AKB when I was...
I think it was "Big Voice Diamond".
Wait a minute!
Really?
I had a small talent.
You don't have one, do you?
I don't have one.
I found out about AKB when I was about "Big Voice Diamond".
Really?
Are you sure you don't have one?
I'm serious!
It will be sold all over the country at the same time.
I found out about AKB when I saw you on YouTube.
I think it was "Big Voice Diamond"'s music video.
There are few people who really know about it, and I think most of the songs are from the early days.
I think you all have a list of songs of this age, but there are 115 songs in all.
Wow!
No, it's an old song, so I think there are a lot of famous songs that you don't know about.
Do you have any opinions about this song, or do you want to sing it, or do you want to see Marumane-chan singing this song?
She has a concert in New York.
It's a song she chose from this song list.
How about "ME-ON"?
There's "MORI EIKO".
Thank you!
I want you to do it!
My debut song is "MORI EIKO".
Really?
It's a strange song, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
The first song...
Usually, when you debut in a theater, you sing the first song of the performance.
Like "Aitakatta" (I Missed You)
That's right.
My 10th song is "MORI EIKO".
It's your first song in the middle of the performance, isn't it?
That's right.
That's how I debuted.
Let's do "MORI EIKO" at "ME-ON" center.
Do you know "ME-ON"?
Do you want to do it?
Let's do it!
I want to do it.
I'll bring it home and talk to myself.
How about "RENATCHI"?
Personally, I want you to do "GLASS NO I LOVE YOU" with cute girls.
I know!
It suits you.
The costumes look like angels, don't they?
I thought it would definitely suit you.
By the way, there are 115 songs on the song list.
"PARTY GA HAJIMARU YO" performance, "Aitakatta" performance, "SEISHUN GIRLS" performance, "DAREKA NO TAME NI" performance, "NO NAI PARADISE" performance, "TADAIMA REIAI CHUU" performance, "BOKURA TAIYO" performance, and "YUME WO SHINASERU WAKI NI IKANAI" performance.
There are so many performances.
In the past, the number of performances changed about once every three months.
That's right.
That's amazing!
Once every three months?
That's a lot of work.
That's right.
It's a lot of work.
How about you, Sora-chan?
Yes!
Do you have a favorite?
The unit I performed in for the first time was "BLUE ROSE".
I'd like to perform with you.
You look cool, Sora-chan.
Wait a minute.
You always look like you're bored.
Is there a song you can't sing?
There aren't any.
There are a lot of songs I can sing.
Really?
"Good Morning".
Is there a song you can sing?
"Good Morning"?
That's right.
I've been performing "BOKURA TAIYO" and "TADAIMA REIAI CHUU" a lot.
I'd be happy if I could sing those songs.
By the way, if you were asked to perform with one or two people, who would you like to perform with?
Would you like me to perform with one of you?
Excuse me, but could you choose one of us?
Well...
Look at my face.
Scary!
It's like an audition.
It's like a face-to-face audition.
I'm sorry I couldn't see your faces.
Well...
Furukawa-chan.
Nazuna-chan!
Nazuna-chan?
Thank you!
Nazuna-chan, what do you think of performing with one of us?
I'm happy!
I didn't think I'd be chosen.
Were you surprised?
I wanted to make a cute face.
You're cute.
Thank you!
I'm looking forward to performing with Iriyama-san and Nazuna-chan.
I'm looking forward to seeing unexpected combinations of units.
That's right.
Well...
It's about time...
Wait, I didn't say "piroron".
I'm sorry.
Well...
I'm sorry about that.
It's about time for us to say goodbye.
What did you think of it, Chiba Iri-chan?
Yes.
There were a lot of songs we know of.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of setlist we'll come up with.
Personally, I really want to do "koike".
"Koike"?
I really want to do "koike".
I hope we can do it together.
I really want you to do it.
I want to see it.
Didn't we do it before?
Wasn't it this team?
We haven't done it recently.
That line is very characteristic of Marigo-san.
I can't imagine it, but it sounds like it's going to be fun.
Lastly...
What should we do?
Let's have Minami-chan say a few words for the TDC hall concert.
A few words for the TDC concert?
I'm very grateful for being able to hold a TDC concert like this this year.
We'll practice hard and look forward to meeting 50% of our fans.
We'll do our best as Team A.
Thank you very much!
That was a great closing comment.
Thank you very much, Team A!
Thank you very much!
Thank you! Bye-bye!
We've looked back at Team A from 2005 to 2007.
What did you think of it?
It's an old song, so I thought it would be refreshing for all of us.
I'm looking forward to seeing a new side of us.
There was a song we were really jealous of.
There was "Hone Hone Waltz".
I love it and I always sing it at karaoke.
We've decided on two songs for each year.
I'm jealous of each of you.
I want to sing this song.
Next, please.
We'll look back at 2008 and 2009 as a team.
Team K!
Here they are!
January 23rd, Saturday, Asa Park will have a 16-member concert with me and the members you see here.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for having us.
Let's get started.
Minami Minegishi from Team K!
You've looked back at 2007. What do you think of it?
Excuse me, but it looks like I've taped something before.
Let me correct that.
It looks like it.
I'm sorry about that.
Thank you for doing it at the end.
Thank you.
I've been with Team K! and Minegishi-san since 2007.
Was Megumin even born?
She was born in 2007.
She was about three years old.
She's young.
This is what happened between 2008 and 2009 for Team AKB48.
In January 2008, Team AKB48's first full-length show "AKB 1:59 AM Broadcast" began airing for the first time on TV.
In June 2008, Team AKB's ninth single "Baby, Baby, Baby" began streaming.
In October 2008, Team AKB's tenth single "Ooe Diamond" was released.
It was the third time that "Oricon" appeared for the first time.
In January 2009, Team AKB's first "Request Hour" was held.
In June 2008, Team AKB's twelve single "Nada Surprise" was released.
It was the second time that "Oricon" appeared for the first time.
In June 2008, Team AKB's first general election was held.
In August 2008, Team AKB's thirteenth single "Excuse Maybe" was released.
It was the second time that "Oricon" appeared for the first time.
In August 2008, Team AKB's first "first picture announcement" was released.
In October 2008, Team AKB's fourteenth single "River" was released.
It was the first time for Team AKB's "Oricon" to appear for the first time.
In December 2008, Team NHK's second appearance on "Kohaku Uta Gassen" for the second time in two years.
Team K, what do you think?
What did you say?
Everyone is nervous because it's remote, but you're always so loud.
There are a lot of singles coming out.
I think there are a lot of people who became fans around here.
Was there a member who was a fan at this time?
Mogi?
When "Excuse My Bee" came out, my older brother was dancing to "Excuse My Bee" at a cultural festival.
I listened to "akb" with this and watched the music video and thought it was cute and I liked it.
Who was your favorite?
My older brother wasn't my favorite, but I liked Yukirin-san at that time.
It's too cute.
It's the first time I've said it.
- Okay, next. - Yes.
I'm a fan of Riva's couple "Kimi no Koto ga Suki Dakara"
and I became a fan of Otaika-san's "Kawaii kute" AKB48.
- Really? - Yes.
And I'm a fan of Love-tan-san's "Hyou o Tanjoubi" (Today is my birthday)
- Congratulations! - Congratulations!
Congratulations!
I'm also a fan of AKB48 and I've been to their handshake event.
- I've handshaked with Miao-san. - Eh?
- I knew it! - I knew it!
- You're lying.
- I remember it. - Really?
- You did a ponytail, right? - Yes, we did a ponytail handshake event.
- Really? - You did a ponytail, right?
- I remember it. - I didn't do a ponytail.
- Eh? - You didn't?
- I didn't do it. - Thank you.
- Like this, you can feel the miracle of being a fan of a member.
I think it's wonderful.
And I think you all have a list of songs of this era.
- There are 92 songs in total. - That's a lot.
So, if you want to sing this song at a concert,
or you want to see this song of this member,
is there anyone who has an opinion while thinking about the list of songs?
- Then, yes. - Oh, Tamu-chan!
- Eh? - Um...
- "First Love"? - Ah, that song.
- It's like a song sung by a person who is about to be the next generation. - I know!
So, I want to see someone singing this song alone.
- It's nice to see. - I wonder who it is.
- Who is it? - Who is it?
- Yes. - Oh, was it Ayamin's voice?
- Yes. - Ayamin, what is it?
- I'm one of the members of pajama live choir. - Yes.
- Me, Ran, Okarina and Megumin have been doing this choir. - Yes.
- We were doing it with researchers at the time. - Yes.
- I want to do it with team members and see what happens. - Yes.
- It doesn't matter what song it is. - That's right.
In 2008 and 2009, like the pajama live choir Ayamin mentioned earlier,
- there were a lot of songs like "The Last Bell Ringing Choir", "Cheers Choir", "No Love Rules Choir" and so on. - Yes, there are a lot of songs like that.
- Yes. - Yes.
- There are a lot of songs like "Chief K" and "The Last Bell Ringing Choir", right? - That's right.
- There are songs for 16 people in this song. - Yes.
- I thought it would be fun to make lyrics for this song. - Yes.
- There are lyrics that we introduce one by one. - Yes.
- I wonder what it will be like. - Yes, I want to do it.
- Yes. - I want to do it.
- I want to see it. - What is it?
- Hajima Drive Park's "Angel's Tail". - Yes.
- I want to see Minegishi-san, Mogi-san and Tome - no-san do it. - Yes.
- I thought it would be fun. - Yes.
- What kind of aspect is it? - Is it older people's aspect?
- Older people's aspect? - Your face...
- Is it older people's aspect? - Your face...
- You're talking with your face. - I'm sorry.
- It's like...
- If only the members are happy, it's scary. - It's scary.
- The juniors are very happy. - I'll do it.
- Is there anything else? - Yes.
- "Oshimeshi"... Oh, Ami! "Oshimeshi" and "Meshi - meshi" and "Yoru-no-chou-chou"?
- Who will do it? - Eh? Yesterday...
- Yes. - We talked with Fomi, didn't we? - Yes.
- We talked about "Oshimeshi" with Tome-san and Orin-chan. - Yes.
- I want to say it. - "Oshimeshi"...
- I wanted to seriously offer it. - You're making a serious face.
- "Oshimeshi"... - I'm sorry.
- I told my parents last time... - What did you say?
- We did a live performance of "K" with a heart - reading declaration, didn't we? - Yes.
- At that time, we were asked "How about "Oshimeshi"?" and we said "We absolutely don't like "Oshimeshi"."
- That's right. - I offered it once, didn't I?
- Oh, did you? - Before "Oshimeshi". - I see. - I see.
- Then, this time... - We absolutely don't like it!
- Then... - I wanted to say it. - How about "Naru - chan"? "Naru-chan".
- Eh? - Yes, but...
- "Team B" songs and performances... - Yes.
- Originally... "Fazema Drive Performance" and "Team B", didn't we? - Yes.
- I wonder what it would be like if we performed such songs in "K". - I see.
- It would be different. - It would be different. - Would you all do it properly?
- Would you do it live? - That's...
- What is "properly"? - What do you mean?
- If I say "I want to do a cute song in "K""... - Yes.
- Everyone in "Team K" loves "K" songs so much... - Yes.
- Until now, we have made concerts in "K" songs. - Yes.
- I think we will also perform songs of other teams for the first time this time. - I see.
- I wonder how much "Team K" will do their best. - Cute.
- Really. - Ah, cute. - Ah, cute! - Cute!
- I did my makeup. - Your face is completely different from the rehearsal.
- Because you grew up. - That's right.
- Then, what about "Yoko Yui"? - Yes!
- For me, it's "End Roll". - Oh!
- You seem to do it a lot. - I did it quite a few times, but I haven't done it recently at all.
- "End Roll". - There are a lot of members who can dance and dance in "Team K". - Yes.
- Huh? "End Roll" for everyone? - No, right?
- Huh? - Scary!
- You're trying too hard for the first time. - I can't do it.
- Well... - "End Roll".
- I wanted to do it after all. - Certainly, this is a strong candidate.
- Well, I'm really looking forward to it. - Yes.
- It's about time for "Team K" to end. - Yes.
- Well, let's hear your impressions at the end. - What are you talking about?
- Well, Kobayashi Ran-chan. - Huh?
- Yes. - You didn't say a word.
- How was it? - Well...
- Well... As Comi-san said earlier, "Team K" has a lot of songs. - Yes.
- I'm really looking forward to singing other teams' songs.
- Also, I saw a lot of photos of "Team K" a year ago and I really wanted to do it.
- I'm also looking forward to the training period.
- I hope we can have the best concert.
- We'll do our best! - We'll do our best!
- I can feel your love for "Team K" and "AKB48". - Thank you!
- Well, "Team K", thank you very much! - Thank you!
- Well, let's look back at "Team V" from 2010 to 2011.
- "Team V", gather around!
- Can you see it? - Senpai!
- Everyone, thank you for waiting! - Thank you!
- Everyone is here, right? - Yes.
So, January 23rd, Saturday afternoon, you and I will be performing with 16 members.
- Thank you for coming! - Thank you!
- Now, 3rd generation Yukirin-san, thank you for waiting! - Ah!
- I was really looking forward to it! - Wow!
- Were you watching? - I was watching for a long time!
The most...
Yeah, the part where Shi-chan went in was the funniest.
- It was funny, wasn't it? - Yeah.
Mogi-chan, when you first saw Yukirin-san, did you like her?
- Yeah! - Yeah!
- I heard it for the first time... - Yeah.
I was going to go in, but I wasn't confident I could speak well with Mogi-chan, so I stopped.
- It's both long, so you can talk about anything. - Yeah.
I was really happy.
- You were too happy. - Yeah, I was happy.
Now, let's look back at what happened between 2010 and 2011 for AKB48.
Here it is!
All Night Nippon will air on April 2010 on AKB48, and the second round of selection will be held in June.
In August, the seventeenth single "Heavy Rotation" will be released, and in September, the first rock-paper- scissors tournament will be held.
In October, the eighteenth single "Beginner" will be released, and this is the first group to exceed one million copies.
And in March 2011, the East Japan Earthquake For Someone's Sake project will begin, and in June, Team 4 will be formed.
Finally, the third round of selection will be held in June, and in July, the first dome concert will be held in Seibu Dome.
In December, "Flying Get" won the first Japanese record for the first time.
Some of you were active at the time, right?
Yuki-chan, Yukimi-san, and Yukarun, are you also active?
Yes!
How about you, Yukarun?
I made my debut in 2011.
That's right.
Wow!
I made my debut at the Seibu Dome concert in 2011.
Oh, I see!
I was one of the singers of "Ice".
I see!
Here you are!
Wow!
I want to see it!
I'm sure many of you have seen her AKB performance.
Do you have any episodes?
Like, "I've been to this concert before."
Oh!
You can see her on Wednesday and Thursday.
Wednesday and Thursday?
You can see it!
I've been to many concerts in Fukuoka.
But I love AKB so much.
So, I joined AKB in Hakata.
AKB was very popular because it was said "you can do it", "you must accept it" and "you have your life now".
AKB was very popular.
I agree with you.
AKB has a better presence than many other groups.
I agree with you.
I became a fan of AKB around this time.
In 2011...
I went to see a rock-paper-scissors competition this year.
Wow!
About three days later, I passed the final screening and entered the school.
This is the timing of my fan's miracle.
What about you, Mahopyon?
When I was in elementary school, everyone at school loved AKB.
During lunch break, we talked a lot about which part of the music video was cute.
I'm looking forward to making songs that go against the trend of this era.
After I joined AKB, I learned about performance songs.
There are songs I've never done before.
I've decided on two songs I really want to do.
Wow! Two songs?
Let me ask you about that, too.
I'm sure you all have a song list of songs of this era.
Please choose two of Mahopyon's 110 songs.
I've always loved "Axel" of "Itoshisa".
I love it so much that I always sing it at karaoke.
I'd like to try it.
The other song is...
During my recent tour concert, Megu and Seina also sang it.
I'd like to sing "You and Me".
I'd like you to sing it.
I'd like to sing it.
The moment I saw it, I really wanted to sing it.
What about you, Megu?
Me?
There's a song I want you to sing.
I'd like you to sing "Wagamama" collection.
There are a lot of young members in Team B.
I thought it would be cute if we all sang it.
This song is cute.
It's cute.
And I...
It's strong.
Meg, do you have anything else?
Can I say it?
Yes.
I've been to a handshake event of beginners.
I've been to Yoko Oshima's lane at Ajinomoto Stadium's handshake event.
For me, "beginner" is a special song.
I want to do "beginner" too.
It suits you.
How about you, Kayoyon?
Yes.
This is the time when I dedicated my youth to AKB.
I'm happy that Team B can be in charge of this age.
There are many memorable songs.
I want Team B to perform "Magisca Rock'n'Roll" and "Magio Teppanburis".
I want to do it.
I'm happy that we can perform this age.
I want to do a song that Team B doesn't seem to do much of at concerts.
I love "Magisca" too.
I'm looking forward to it.
Is there a song you want to perform?
I want to perform "Dakishimecha Ikenaiwa".
That's a good song.
It's an election song.
I want to perform it because it's memorable and our fans worked hard for it.
I want to perform it because it's difficult to choreograph.
It's very difficult.
Let's do our best.
Yes.
Okay...
Sato-chan.
Yes.
What do you want to do?
As Kayo-chan said, I want to try Magiska Rock'n'Roll.
I also like "Reset Park".
Our song "Reset Park" is one of them.
I want to perform "White Day" and "Hope Moment".
That's amazing.
Who will do it?
Is Shunri going to do it?
Is Gorilla going to do it?
Let's ask other people.
Okay, then...
Saki-chan.
Yes.
What do you want to do?
Personally, I heard about this album for the first time.
I saw it for the first time in a video.
It was a live performance of "Save Dog".
I personally have a lot of memories about this song.
I want to try it.
I haven't done it before.
I want to try it.
Let's ask Nanase-chan.
Nanase-chan.
Yes.
I like the song "Overtake" a lot.
I listen to it when I feel down.
I have memories about it.
Uekara Mariko sang it.
I want Yukirin-san to sing it.
I haven't sung it before.
When we sang "Uekara Mariko" together at a rock- paper- scissors tournament,
I couldn't remember it.
I was losing.
What?
Is that okay?
It's true.
Don't exaggerate.
I was actually losing.
Isn't it really difficult?
I'm telling you now.
It's very difficult.
It's definitely difficult.
Yukirin sang it.
But it was a good song.
Maybe you'll see Yukirin-san perform for the first time.
I want to do it.
Yukirin-san, what do you want to do in this situation?
Well...
I'm here at this moment.
How about singing "Sakura no Shiori" together?
Oh!
Let's do it together.
Let's do it separately.
Please say it seriously.
It's a joke, isn't it?
I haven't thought about it.
But I think about it a lot now.
"Sakura no Shiori" was written at the top of the list.
That's true.
Looking at it like this...
Usually, you sing cute songs like "Team B".
You also sang "Mokugekisha Kouen".
I want to do it.
I think you can make a gap.
I hope you'll look forward to it.
Lastly, is there anyone?
Let's move on to Heart.
Heart, please say something.
Cute.
I...
I want to sing a song that shows Team B's cuteness.
I can't hear you.
What's wrong?
I can hear you.
I heard you.
Can you hear me?
I can hear you.
It's a cute song.
Team B, please say something.
I want to sing a cute song.
I want to sing a song of a different team.
For example, "Reverse Prince" of Team K.
It's a cute song.
I want to sing a song like that.
I want to do a lot of cute things.
I want to have a wonderful concert.
Let's do our best.
Yes.
That's all for Team B.
Thank you, everyone.
Bye-bye! Thank you very much!
- Hi! - Hi!
They're here, they're here.
Yes, so on January 23rd, Yoru Park will have a concert for 17 people, including me and the members you see here!
- Thank you for your support! - Thank you for your support!
Yes, so like I said, these 17 people...
Well, since Makio-chan will be graduating soon, she'll be participating in this stream today, but how do you feel about it, Makio-chan?
Eh, but I think I really wanted to go!
- It looks fun! - Yeah, but I don't think I'll be able to go.
If I have the time, I'd like to go see it, so I'm looking forward to it!
- Please come, Makio-chan! - Please come!
- I'll be waiting for you! - I'll go!
Yes, and with that, Captain's Ieri-san!
- Hi! - Ieri-san!
The TDC Hall concert will be held between 2012 and 2013, and you'll be thinking of songs for it, but what do you think?
We got a list of songs for the concert, but...
Basically, our songs are singles and albums, so we thought we could sing a lot of songs from other teams.
If it's A, then it's Ruby, or K's "How Come?", if it's B, then it's Romance Guns, and if it's our usual style, there's a lot of songs we can show you that we don't usually show you,
and there's a lot of people who are older than us, so we thought we could show you a side of us that's sexy and cool.
It's a new side of you.
Yes, and with that, here are the main events from 2012 to 2013 of "AKB48"!
March 2012, at the Saitama Super Arena concert, Atsuko Maeda announced her graduation.
August, the Tokyo Dome "AKB48 in Tokyo Dome - 1830m Dream" was held.
And the second team elimination was announced, and the team disbandment was also announced here.
In December, "Manatsu no Sounds Good" won the Japanese record for two consecutive years.
And in June 2013, the fourth team elimination election was held, and Sashihara Rino won first place.
And Mariko Shinoda announced her graduation.
July, the "Godime" tour was held, and in August, "Koisuru Fortune Cookie" was released.
And in August, the "Menegis Team Four" was also formed!
In November, the first draft meeting was held, and in December, in the NHK Kohaku Singing Competition,
for the sixth time, Oshima Yuuko announced her graduation.
That's how old we are, but...
How about you, Nana-san?
Yes!
I just made my debut in 2012.
So, making a concert using songs from that age when I made my debut in 2012 is very emotional and happy for me.
Yes, that's right. Also, I think you also made your debut in "Minnegishi Chimuho-san", right?
Yes.
That's good, isn't it?
Yes.
And also, I think you, Kiara-san, have already made your debut, right?
Yes, that's right. "Jugo Kisei" was made on June 5th, 2013 and it was the debut of "Kinkyo Seibudoukan".
At that time, I had to memorize "Kinkyo Seibudoukan", "Kinkyo Seibudoukan" concert hall, and "Nissan Stadium" concert all at once.
So, I listened to a lot of AKB48 songs at that time.
Songs from 2013 and 2014 were times when I had to work hard and listen to a lot of songs in real- time.
I'm really happy that I was able to make songs from 2013 and 2014.
I hope that "Chimuho" will be able to show fans new possibilities.
Yes, we hope you will watch it.
Also, among "Chimuho", I think you watched "Senatan" a lot, right?
Yes, "Senatan".
How about you?
The first concert I went to was the "Modern Animal" tour.
It was my first time going to the Tokyo Dome.
That's a really good memory for me.
At that time, it was so much fun.
As soon as I got home, I wrote down all the songs I sang and the MCs.
That's cute!
I'm happy!
I'm happy about that.
I'm sure you all have a song list of songs of this era.
There are 96 songs in total.
If you have a song you want to sing at a concert or if you have a song you want the members to sing, please tell us.
Oh, Nana-san!
I have one!
It's a song I've never sung anywhere before.
"Tsuyoi Hana".
I want to sing it!
You don't know "Tsuyoi Hana", do you?
I love it!
I want to sing it!
I love it!
It hasn't been sung even a millimeter.
I see.
I only sang it when I recorded it.
That's rare.
I'd be happy if we could do it, but we don't have a choreography.
I think it would be nice if we could do it again.
It's also an opportunity to perform a song that hasn't been performed yet.
I want to do it!
I hope we can do it.
I have one.
"Haste Tuvaste".
Oh, "Haste Tuvaste"!
It's in our era.
Oh, Zuki, what's up?
I want to do "Haste Tuvaste" myself.
I'm going to sing Kawaii Rina's "Haste Tuvaste" as a unit song.
I'm going to test it in the team school.
That's a great idea!
I want to do it!
The captain's face is cloudy, but is it okay?
Is it an academic test or an AKB test?
It's an academic test.
There are some suspicious members.
Why?
It's okay.
Let's do it!
It's a good match.
I think we can do something worthwhile.
Onishi is also participating in "4".
Yes, Onishi is also participating in "4".
There are a lot of sad songs.
Yes.
My favorite song is "scrap and build".
It's a good song.
I love "4" and I hope I can sing it in "4".
Captain, please take care of me.
Miyupon, how about you?
Yes.
There are a lot of songs from when I was a researcher.
It's a personal story that I miss.
There is also "romance song club", right?
Yes.
I was 13 or 14 years old at the time.
I was a very cheerful person.
I don't know if I can sing it now, but I hope I can sing a nostalgic song.
Let's do it.
Kyon was pushing you a lot, but is there a song you want me to sing?
I hope you can sing "romance song club" in "4".
"4" also contains love studies and adolescence philosophy.
I hope we can do it again.
Speaking of "4" songs...
How about you, Maturin?
At a concert two years ago, we listened to "4" together.
When I heard it again, I thought it was good.
It was just two years ago.
That's right. It was just two years ago.
How about you, Serika?
I like "gingham check" a lot.
I always say I want to do it at concerts, but I can't do it all the time, so I hope I can do it soon.
"gingham check" is good.
I think now is your chance to appeal, so I'd like to ask you more and more.
How about you, Kaori?
I have a favorite song.
What is it?
I like "not on the side of justice".
I wanted to do it, or rather I want to do it.
It's hard to have a chance to sing songs of other teams, so I want to do it.
How about you, Char?
I have three.
First of all, I want to sing "countdown" and "kiss" at karaoke.
Also, I want to sing "avocado janeci" with senatan and kaolin.
It's definitely cute!
I want you to do it.
Cute!
Also, I want to sing "fortune cookie in love" with you.
I see.
It's almost time for us to say goodbye.
Lastly, Mai-chan!
Huh?
Mai-chan!
Yes!
Please say something for the TDC hall concert.
I'm very nervous, but I'll do my best while having fun.
Thank you, team 4!
Thank you!
Let's take a look back at 2014-2015 with the members of Team 8.
Everyone!
Yaho!
Let's go!
It's crowded in here.
Wow!
It's very lively.
Oh, is everyone in?
Oh, they're in.
Oh, there's a lot of people.
Um...
Yoshida Karen-chan...
Oh?
Miss?
There's a lot of members who have something to say.
Let's start with Yoshida Karen-chan.
What did you do?
Karen-chan...
Good evening!
Yay! I thought you'd be grateful.
That's a wonderful attitude.
One more person.
Did you do something too, Miss?
Miss? Miss, where are you?
She's got a lot of A's.
Cute.
Thank you for being our teammate.
This time, I'd like to play with these teammates.
She was born in the same city as AKB48.
She's the same age as AKB48.
When you first got interested in AKB48, do you remember anything you knew about AKB48?
The first thing I knew was that AKB48 was on a music show when I was in the second or third grade of elementary school.
I remember there was a heavy rotation at that time.
When you were in second grade of elementary school, AKB was...
It was around 2012 or 2013.
Oh, I see.
It's amazing that you're the same age as AKB48.
Are there younger members than AKB48?
Yes, there are.
There are three members in the second grade of middle school, Momoka Hasegawa, Hiyuka Sakagawa, and Remi Takanaga.
Hasemomo.
Hasemomo is younger than AKB48.
When did you know about AKB48?
I think I heard about it on a TV show or something like that.
What kind of song is it? Do you remember it?
But it was when I was little, so I don't remember it very well.
You don't remember it very well, do you?
Cute!
Let's start with Remitan.
Do you remember when you found out about AKB48?
When I was in first grade of elementary school, I saw "Koesuru Houchuu Kukki" at school and I fell in love with it.
Cute!
When did you know about AKB48?
When I was in kindergarten, I learned about "Flying Get."
When you were in kindergarten, you learned about "Flying Get."
You're kidding, right?
That's why I was interested in it.
I see. For many people, "Flying Get" is a new memory.
I see.
Did you know about it in kindergarten?
That's amazing!
Cute!
I really feel the history of AKB48.
That's what I hope for.
Let's move on.
Here are the main events of AKB48 from 2014 to 2015.
Ta-dah!
In February 2014, AKB48 Group first song festival was held.
In March 2014, AKB48 held a concert in a national stadium.
The second concert was postponed due to rain.
In April 2014, AKB48 members were announced at Saitama Super Arena.
That's right. They debuted in 2014.
In June 2014, AKB48 Group first song festival was held for the sixth time.
At that time, Mayu Watanabe won first place.
Also, in June 2014, Yuko Oshima graduated from AKB48 from a stadium in Ajinomoto.

Team 8 won first place in this way. Thank you.
In December 2014, AKB48 Special Concert was held for the tenth anniversary.
That's all for today's lineup.
Team 8 is still young.
That's right.
Let's ask our members who are in their early years.
- Hama! - Yes!
- How is it? - Is my voice loud?
It's okay.
Team 8 has been formed and standing like this, but I'm a little surprised now.
But it's amazing that Team 8 is so big and young.
I'm happy that we can have a concert in Team 8 like this.
- I'm happy. - I'm glad.
Let's move on to the first song.
- Okay, Harupyon. - Yes!
- What do you think? - I fell in love with the 14-eight group because of you, Takamina-san. - That's right.
Since you graduated, you've released a lot of songs.
For example, "Be My Baby" on my lips, "Good Day, Bad Day",
"Senaka Kotoba" and "All of You" of your solo songs.
- That's a lot of songs. - That's a lot of songs.
- Let's move on to YuiYui. - Yes!
- What do you think? - Is it a song you want to sing?
- I don't think so. - You don't think so?
- Now that your teammates have been announced in 2014... - I'm sorry.
When my teammates first joined us,
- they all came from Todo Prefecture. - That's right.
- Their dialects were all mixed up. - It was all mixed up.
- As someone from Tokyo,
I couldn't understand them. I thought they were all amazing. Especially Yoko-chan.
- She's very different. - That's right.
- Yoko-chan from Mori Prefecture. - Do you remember me, Yoko-chan?
- Right, Yoko-chan? - Right, Yoko-chan?
That's right. My teammates spoke to me through their elbows.
So I was able to speak their dialects, too.
- Thank you very much. - That's difficult.
We've heard a lot of songs.
I'm sure you all have a list of songs.
We have 136 songs in total.
- That's a lot. - That's a lot.
By the way, it seems like 136 songs are the most songs in all ages.
- That's a lot. - That's a lot.
- That's crazy. - That's crazy.
- There's a song called "Sweet Song". - What?
- I don't want it. - I don't want it.
- It's an eight song.
If you want to sing this song at this concert,
or if you want to see this song of this member,
or if you have an opinion about this song,
please write it in the comments section.
- Yes. - Ranri, you didn't have one, did you?
- Yes. - Yes.
I'm Miyamoto Toriya, a representative of Okinawa Prefecture.
I like the song "Sailor Zombie" a lot.
It's the theme song of a drama.
It's a three-member unit.
Behind the members dancing "Sailor Zombie",
eight members appear as zombies.
- It looks fun. - It looks fun.
- It's fun. - It's fun.
- I like it.
I like it.
I like eight members doing "watch out" together.
- I want to do it like that with everyone. - It sounds fun.
- I thought about it.
It sounds fun.
- Shall we do "kamachi"? - Yes.
- Do you know it? - When I saw the list of songs,
I saw that there was a plan to wear costumes for "AKBingo".
- Yes, there was. - Yes, there was.
- The costume of "ambulance" is very sexy. - Yes.
- In-san is wearing it. - The costume of "ambulance".
- I'm looking forward to it. - I want to see Yūkarin and other sexy members
- wearing it. - I want to see it.
- I want to see it.
- It's very sexy. - It's very sexy.
Yūkarin, could you tell us a bit about your clothes?
- Could you tell us a bit about your fashion style, Yūkarin? - What is it like?
It's very sexy.
Shall we buy the same clothes?
- Today's background music is "dokinke". - It's amazing.
- It's wonderful, isn't it? - It is.
- Shall we move on to "shitao"? - "Shitao"?
- Yes, we have "shitao". - What is it?
The moment I saw it, I thought it was this.
Gyoutei Irina and Yoshikawa Amimasu and I were doing a YouTube called "popopo-san".
- A little bit, right? - Yes.
- With smart members, right? - Cute.
Yes, there's something called "popopo blues".
- This is it. - It's perfect.
- I thought so, too.
I thought it was perfect and we three wanted to do it.
- "popopo blues". - It's better than we thought.
- Isn't it perfect? - Yes.
Isn't this a bit of a design accident? "popopo blues".
- It's good, isn't it? - Yes.
- We want to do it. - Yes.
- We look forward to working with you, adults. - We look forward to it.
- We look forward to it.
- And Sayuri, too. - Yes, Sayuri.
Sayuri.
- I'm the "look forward to it" side. - Yes.
- You know, "first love" has a cute and lovely name, right? - Yes.
- So...
I want to see colorful members like Ayane and Seri wearing it.
- I want to see it, too. - I want you to do it.
I'm happy.
- I'm happy. - It suits you.
- Eh? - Let's do it.
- What do you think? - Ayane, do you want to do it?
Eh? Let's do it.
- That's cute. - It's a pink and blue fluttery thing, isn't it?
- That's right. - Isn't it cute?
- I want to do it. - You want to do it, don't you? - I want to do it.
- Next, Maria! - Oh, yes!
- I have something to say. - What is it?
When you're in a team, especially in your early years,
you've been together for about seven years, right?
You've grown up together, so I want you to grow up a little more and I want you to wear a wedding dress a lot.
- Yeah! - Wow!
- I want you to wear a wedding dress a lot. - Wow!
- That's nice. - It makes me feel emotional. - It makes you feel emotional, doesn't it?
- Teske seems like a nice person. - She seems like she'd make you feel good.
- A person like Teske.
- A parent's heart. - To Teske.
- Then, let's continue. - Oda was saying it, too.
You've always had a young and fresh image of being a teammate, haven't you?
All the time.
But now that we're in our seventh year, and we've all grown up, we're not kids anymore.
I want you to see us singing, and I want you to feel a little emotional.
Next, Nagi-chan.
Yes!
For me, I really like the song "Kimi wa Kimagure".
It's cute.
The music video is also like a doll doll, so I'd like to do it like that.
It suits you.
Cute.
Next, Akarin.
Yes!
Personally, I thought "Hajimari no Yuki" really suited you.
That's true.
Now that you've grown up, I hope you can show it off beautifully.
That's nice.
Next, Nihattori.
Yes!
Personally, I like sexy songs a lot.
Like "Chawan no Ato Dakara" (After the Shower)
I like it!
It's so good!
Like "Amera" (Candlelight)
I sometimes wish I could do it with you, Yukarin.
I want to do it!
Yes!
I'm looking forward to it.
I've heard a lot of things, but I'd like to hear your enthusiasm for the concert for the last time.
Rissen, please!
Hello!
Recently, we haven't been able to hold concerts with all of us as a team.
I think our desire and enthusiasm are at their maximum right now.
I'm really happy to be able to show you that.
We'll do our best as a team!
Let's do our best!
Thank you, teammates!
See you again!
Thank you!
I love you!
Moving on, from 2016 to 2017...
From 1st generation to 15th generation...
Let's take a look at the first-generation selection members!
Please!
So we know who they are now?
That's right!
First-generation selection members!
That's right!
But...
Are there 15 of you now?
Not enough!
Not enough?
Let's see...
Not enough?
I think that's all of you.
Is that all of you?
I will say your names.
First generation selection members are...
Minagishi Minami, Kashiwagi Miki, Ooya Shizuka, Yokoyama Yui, Iriyama Anna, Kato Rena, Sasaki Yukari, Murayama Yui, Iwatate Sao, Mogi Shinobu, Okada Nana, Mukaichi Mion, Komiyama Haruka, Fukuoka Seina, Taniguchi Megu.
Yes, it's me.
We will have a concert on Sunday, January 24th at Hill Park with 16 members including me.
Thank you in advance.
I think you are all old members.
Are you members now or old members?
Old.
You are all old.
You are all old, but 15 years old.
How about you, Sei-chan?
I didn't expect it.
I was really surprised when I found out.
We, 15th generation, joined in 2013.
Of course, all of us are seniors and all of us are older members.
I never imagined that I would be called an old member.
Personally, I joined when I was young.
When I was 12 years old.
But if you are one of us, you can still say you are young.
No, we don't do that anymore.
I think you should stop saying you are young.
Why me?
Don't pick up only me.
Let's do it regardless of age.
Can you not hide your face with your hands?
Let's do it regardless of age.
This is what happened between 2016 and 2017.
Takahashi Minami will hold all eight concerts in February 2016.
Takahashi Minami's graduation concert will be held at Yokohama Stadium in March.
"44th SINGLE – I don't need wings (I don't need wings)" will be released in June.
And the 8th AKB48 election will be held.
In August, Takahashi Minami will hold his first general election thanksgiving party at Saitama Super Arena.
In January 2017, the drama "Tofu Pro-Wrestling" will be aired.
In February, Takahashi Minami will hold his graduation concert "Koji Festival".
In June, the 9th AKB48 election will be held.
In October, Takahashi Minami will hold his graduation concert "Everyone's Dreams Come True".
In December, the 12th anniversary concert will be held.
How do you feel about this year?
"I don't need wings (I don't need wings)" was one of the highlights of this year.
I think there are songs that were released after we joined AKB48.
I'm sure you all have your own songs on your list.
I think it would be fun if we could sing a lot of songs like this.
This song "I don't need wings (I don't need wings)" has a lot of new songs for me.
"Hashtag I like you" is a song I know of.
But I don't know much about its coupling.
There are songs that haven't been revealed yet.
There is also a song performed by Team A.
"Angel Nispied Cone" and "Thumbnail Cone" were also performed by Team A.
In this day and age, pro-wrestling is more popular than idol groups.
Actually, most of the members were in pro- wrestling.
- Quite a few. - Quite a few.
- The older members are doing their best. - That's right!
They're doing their best!
- Oya-san was also working out a lot. - Yeah.
I was working out a lot. I even put weights on my back.
- You were working out, weren't you? - Yeah, I was working out and signing autographs.
I see.
Well, Takamina-san, Kojiharu-san and Mayu-san graduated this year.
Do you have any episodes about Takamina and Kojiharu?
- Minigis, please. - Takamina and Minihong.
Minigis, please.
Recently, the three of us got together.
The two of us know each other quite well.
Especially Kojima-san.
He told me that my make-up for the singing show was good.
He told me in detail about my make-up.
I was surprised.
- That's amazing. - Isn't it amazing?
Do you even look at your make-up?
- I don't look at my make-up. - Right?
By the way, it's not about how long you have your make-up on.
But I realized that my seniors look at me a lot.
I haven't been active with Yuko Oshima-san for a long time.
So I thought they didn't know about me.
But when I saw Haruka Komiyama, who I haven't seen for a long time, became a gal,
I was happy to hear that from my seniors.
I realized that they know me.
- Really? - Yes.
I was happy.
She became a gal.
- She was a fan of Yuko Oshima-san. - I see.
I'm happy for you, Takamina-san.
- Can I say this? - Sure.
When I was auditioning,
Takahashi Minami-san supported me with her own money.
- Right. - I was surprised.
- Minagi Minami-san also supported me. - I'm here.
- Minagi Minami-san also supported me. - I'm not married yet.
I'm happy for you and your love. Thank you.
I think you care about us more than we think.
Do you have any memorable episodes in 2016 and 2017?
For example, Yui?
Memorable events?
Well, I had Kojima-san give me a name.
- Wow. - At that time, I went to Kojima-san's produce concert and the Bakkage concert in Koukan.
- Yes. - Yes.
Kojima-san helped me a lot.
- That's what I remember. - I see.
- Yes. - That's amazing.
- Can I say something? - Sure.
I was in Takamina's produce concert.
- Yes. - Yes.
I was in dance concerts and idol concerts.
- I was in a chaos concert. - I remember.
The members chose me and I went on stage.
It was really chaotic.
From beginning to end.
When I came back, I didn't know what I was doing.
But at that time...
I can't forget this.
Momoka Kinoshita of NMB held a white plastic bag and said, "What's that?"
It's poop.
What?!
I can't forget that!
I stood there and said, "It's a white plastic bag."
- And I turned it around. - You turned it around?
That's what happened in 2016 and 2017.
- Wow. - That's a big impact.
- Have you ever carried it? - No.
- But you offered it, right? - Yes.
I didn't know Takamina could be so equal to people like that.
- I thought it was amazing. - It's amazing.
By the way, Wan-chan's...
- Even so... - Even so...
I'll keep it short.
- I was shocked. - I could do whatever I wanted.
I was able to do whatever I wanted at that age.
Now I know how I am and my worth of existence.
I think I was an individual who shined at that age.
There are 84 songs in total.
We're not on the same team.
To be honest, we've known each other for a long time.
- Some of you may not know me. - No, we don't know you.
- We don't know you. - No, we don't know you.
But who decides the set list?
- That's right. - That's right.
Who decides the leader?
- Who decides the leader? - The leader...
- There are many leaders. - Let's pick one.
Who wants to do it?
Oh!
It's here!
Wow, it looks cool!
It's cool!
Please do it!
Do it properly!
Can you do it properly?
Is it exposed?
Since you're the leader...
If you don't have any objection to this...
You'll be the leader of this first-generation selection.
Let's hear your determination and then make a decision.
What should I do?
What can you do for me?
I want you to be serious about becoming the leader.
Please tell us what you want.
Um...
I want to be in the unit "She's Gone".
What?
Wait, let's stop this.
That's it?
Is that the only reason?
Yes, I want to be in "She's Gone".
What?
I want to be in "She's Gone".
Doesn't that have a meaning for everyone?
Yes, it does.
Does it have a meaning?
There should be "She's Gone" members.
I'm not a "She's Gone" member.
How about you?
Yukarin and Annie are "She's Gone" members.
Megu and I are "She's Gone" members.
What will you do?
How about you?
But...
So, if she joins "She's Gone"...
This is fun.
No!
Wait, Megu can't be "She's Gone"!
"She's Gone"!
"She's Gone".
You have to lose another 15 kilos.
But we really want to do "She's Gone" with these four people.
We're not talking about "She's Gone" right now. We're talking about "Leader" right now.
But it's perfect for all of us.
By the way, we only have "Leader", "Rikko", and "Hosshii-chan" right now.
What do you think, everyone?
Please do your best.
Maybe, but I don't think everyone wants to do it.
What do you think, Yokoyama-san?
I want to do it, but if Hosshii-chan says she wants to do it...
I'll give up.
It's different from what I thought.
How about me and the members here?
Do you have any objections?
I think "Leader" really loves AKB.
Even if you talk about it on social media.
It's different from what I thought.
There's only "Hosshii-chan".
There's only "Leader".
Can I say it?
I'd like to see it.
There haven't been many opportunities for "Hosshii- chan" to hurry up and put it together.
I'd like you to pull it out.
With this opportunity...
The leader of the first generation members...
Shizuka Ohya...
Will be decided!
I'm happy!
I think it's going to be a lot of work.
I don't think you'll be able to rest even on New Year's Day.
Of course.
The leader is the one who moves while everyone is resting.
I'll do my best!
Lastly, please tell us about your enthusiasm for this performance as a leader.
Yes, that's right.
Now that I'm a leader...
I'll play the song I want to play!
Listen carefully!
Do you understand?
We would like to make it a park where you can see everyone's new side.
Thank you very much!
That's it for this member's talk.
Thank you very much, everyone!
Thank you very much!
Okay.
The second generation members are...
Oguri Yui, Sakaguchi Nagisa, Shitao Miyu, Shimoguchi Hinana, Chiba Erii, Nishikawa Rei, Kubo Satone, Inagaki Kaori, Suzuki Koumi, Taguchi Manaka, Nagatomo Ayami, Mutou Orin, Yamaaki Mizuki, Yamane Suzuha, Oomori Maho, and me.
16 of us will be performing on January 24th.
Thank you for having us.
Okay, then.
The latest single, "Zucchi" from "Ryouso Arigato" center.
Yes.
Looking back on your AKB history so far, what do you think of it?
Looking back on any year, I feel like it's shining.
I'm happy that I can spend my 15th anniversary as an actor and my beloved AKB.
I hope we can make a lot of fun history in the future.
Okay, then.
Let's look back on your history.
This is what's been going on since 2018.
AKB48 Group Center Examination was held in March 2018.
In April 2018, for the first time in about two years, an AKB48 solo concert was held at Saitama Super Arena.
In December 2018, at the 13th anniversary special performance, Yui Yokoyama appointed Miyon Mukaichi as director.
In July 2019, for the first time in four years, a solo nationwide tour was held.
In December 2019, Minagishi Minami announced her graduation at the 14th anniversary performance.
In January 2020, the introduction of a YouTube personal channel began.
In March 2020, the 57th single "Thank you for the rudeness" was released.
"Zucchi" is the first center.
In April 2020, the OUC48 project began.
In July 2020, the limited message song "Even if I'm away" was released.
In November 2020, the AKB48 E-Undoukai was held.
It's been a while.
There are a lot of new things in my memory.
There are only new things in your memory.
How about you guys?
Hinana is the oldest of us.
How about you, Hinana?
I'm surprised that I'm one of the next generation.
I'm happy.
Hinana is still young.
She is young as a whole, but she joined in 2013.
I think she's in her second generation.
I'll do my best in my second generation.
From 2018 to 2020, AKB had a solo tour.
It was an impressive year.
We were active as a team.
We were active as a team and had a concert as a whole.
We had a lot of concerts.
Nagisa, you have your own YouTube channel now.
Yes, I've been editing my own videos.
I'm happy every time I get more followers.
If you're watching this, please subscribe.
If you haven't subscribed yet, please subscribe.
Thank you.
How about you, Zun?
It's been a tough year.
Please tell us about it.
I didn't know about it.
What did you do this year?
We had a solo concert from 2018 to 2020.
We had a tour as a team.
We did a project together.
Please tell us about it.
I'd like to ask you about songs you'd like to play.
Is there anyone who wants to play a song?
Yes.
Kuru-chan.
I'm Suzuki Kurumi.
I...
I like an album song called "Kiss Campaign" and it's a three-person unit, but I like it too much and I've done it once by myself, but I feel like I want to do it with a proper unit of three people, so I'd like to do a cute song like that while taking advantage of the freshness with everyone because it's "fresh" in this young world . "Kiss Campaign" I want to do it.
That's right.
There aren't many other "fresh" songs in this age, are there?
That's right.
There are only about 20 songs.
Someone said "cute".
Oh, yes.
Is it Sutao?
Miu-san?
Yes, it's Sutao.
Sutao.
Miu-san.
Yes, I'm like...
What is it?
It's like self-selection, isn't it?
Yes.
Also, I feel like there are a lot of girls who are doing "center" at "wakate-senbatsu" or something like that, so I think there are a lot of "center" among these members, so I thought it would be fun if we could make a song that everyone is doing "center".
That's true.
There are a lot of "center".
I think "reason" and "generation change" are also songs that are perfect for "center".
What do you think? Is there a song you'd like to try?
Me? Can I say me?
I'm going to be a unit, but "kusai mono daraki" is a song I've been longing for during the tour.
But since it's a cute and energetic song, I want to do it with everyone.
I like "saikyou twintail" and "sustainable".
I haven't performed "teishun dakaapo" much, so I'd like to do it.
I hope it's an energetic and bright concert.
What about you, Manoka?
I'm sorry it's easy to understand.
The radio is bad.
I'm sorry it's easy to understand.
This song was produced by Produce 48 members.
There were a lot of members with good styles.
So I'd like to do it with Kurumi and the two of us.
Kurumi is being dragged in.
Don't do it.
I'm sorry it's easy to understand.
What about you, Maho?
I'm the youngest member to join Produce 48.
I was a fan of this album song.
I've always loved it and wanted to do it.
I love "namida no hyoumen chouryoku".
I'm not good at dancing, so I thought I'd dance.
I've never performed "omoide mo maifurendo" before.
I really wanted to do it.
I hope you can do it.
What about you, Orin?
It's not that I want to do it, but I want to do it.
"watashi datte idol" is a solo song.
I want someone to do it solo and cheer for me with all their might.
I want to do it.
That's a good idea.
What about you, Ayami?
"nagare hoshii nani onegaeba ii no darou" is a song I really like.
I usually sing it with the captain and director.
I think it's good for everyone to sing it together.
I'm happy.
What about you, Eri?
As Nishikao said earlier, I want to sing a cute song.
I want to sing "saikyou twintail" with everyone.
I want to sing "takamine no twintail" with everyone.
Personally, I like "sukida sukida sukida" a lot.
I want to sing it with everyone.
A lot of songs have been released.
The first generation team was led by Oya.
What will you do as the leader of this team?
Kaori is in the picture.
I can't do it.
Is it Riko?
Who is it?
I can't do it.
Who do you like, Yui?
I like Hinana.
What do you think about it, Hinana?
Well, she's a little more mature than me.
As a senior, I can feel it.
I don't know if I'll get used to it this time, but I'll try my best.
Good luck!
Is there anyone who wants to compete with you?
Are you okay, Sato-chan?
Sato-san?
No one?
I'll do my best to push you all.
Good luck!
Hinana, please tell us about your enthusiasm for this concert.
I think it's a selection with a lot of next- generation members because it's a second generation.
I'll do my best to show you a lot of new things.
I want to be one of 16 and do my best!
Thank you!
It's time for this talk to end.
Thank you!
Now, we've looked back on AKB48's 15 years of history.
Once again, it was amazing. There were so many things going on.
There was a lot going on.
There were stories we'd never heard of before.
There was no age without anything.

Congratulations!
Mai-chan!
What? What?
I thought I wouldn't be chosen because I was called by a drummer, but I was surprised.
Now that I've been selected, I think I have to work harder.
I'm not worried about being selected.
I'll do my best from now on.
Congratulations!
Thank you very much.
The first member will be selected as a regular member today.

I will do my best to play an active role in the team.
Thank you!
Congratulations!

Thank you!
You did a great job!
And next, Team K!
Nagano Megumi-chan!
Congratulations!
Thank you very much.
I was wondering if I would be alone at the next concert in Azenta again, but I'm happy to be able to participate in concerts with the members like this.
I want to do my best in the future as well. Thank you very much.
Let's do our best, Megumin!
How about you, Koriharu? As Team K's captain, please say a few words to Megumin-chan.
While I was a researcher, Megumin remembered a lot of positions and always gave positive opinions to Team K's seniors.
It was very reassuring, so I am happy to work harder with Megumin and Team K in the future! Let's do our best!
Congratulations!

Thank you very much.
I've always wanted to get a bachelor's degree and I've been working hard, but I haven't been able to do it.
I've been down and down, but now I'm a research student and I got a bachelor's degree and I'm really happy to be able to participate in Team F's concert again, so I'd like to do my best with the self-awareness that I'm already a regular member.
Thank you very much.
Next is Yoshihashi Yuzuka.
Congratulations!
Thank you very much.
Yes, I decided not to cry when I announced my bachelor's degree someday, but I've been listening to everyone's stories and I've been getting a lot of messages saying "congratulations" on LINE, and I was really happy and cried.
It's been a limited period of time.
I've learned a lot and I've had trouble, but I think I've finally built a starting line so that I can make the most of what I've learned over the past three years, so I'd like to do my best to create a new side of me.
Thank you.
Congratulations!
Team 4 had four bachelor's degrees, but here, Captain Yui Murayama, please give everyone a word of encouragement.
Yes, congratulations on your bachelor's degree!
Team 4 had a large number of people and now that there are eight of us in the park due to COVID-19, we didn't have many opportunities to give researchers a chance, but we were able to do our best on social media and communicate with fans as much as we could, so I think we will learn a lot of new things as regular members in the future, but I don't have much time to spend with you, and I'm really happy to be able to spend time with you.
I also didn't have much time to spend with you and I was really lonely, so I'd like to get to know you better in the future and the team will support you, so I'd like to enjoy working without worrying. Thank you!
Thank you!
So, today the concert at TDC was also announced, so I hope everyone will become one with AKB48 and do their best, so thank you!
Then, finally, Director So's Mion!
Yes, finally, please tell us your enthusiasm for AKB48's 15th anniversary!
Yes! First of all, congratulations to all the researchers!
Actually, I wanted to announce it on stage before all the fans were there, but I'm really sorry that it's remote like this.
However, as we have looked back on it now, there are a lot of members who have come in longing for the old AKB.
Emile, who is in his 16th year, and Draft, who is in his 3rd year, must have seen AKB when we were there and auditioned and came in.
As a researcher for three or four years, I think I was able to grasp the dream of being promoted now while continuing to work hard in the unseen future, so I was really happy to see it.
I think that all the efforts and tears of all the members who have been in AKB so far have made the history of these 15 years.
I say it over and over again, but thanks to the staff who supports me and the fans who support me, I was able to welcome today. Thank you very much.
There were a lot of things that I couldn't think of this year, but I want to do my best so that not only we but everyone in Japan and all over the world can have the courage and courage to continue no matter what the situation is.
Starting from TDC in January next year, I will do a lot of things that I couldn't do this year and celebrate my anniversary year with my fans.
So, AKB48 Theater's 15th Anniversary Broadcast is over. How was today's broadcast for all the members in the theater?
Everyone, shall we gather up?
Oh!
Everyone's here!
Even though it's remote like this, we've connected with 99 members online and had a 15th anniversary stream. How was it today?
Today, we were able to celebrate our 15th anniversary like this because of the staff who have worked hard with us up until now, our friends who work hard with us now, our staff who supports us, and our fans who support us.
Even though we weren't able to meet our fans for a year until our 15th anniversary this year, we were able to realize that we were able to do activities thanks to the fans who have supported us for a long time, so I felt again that we should work harder with AKB48 from now on. Thank you!
Thank you! Please go ahead.
Looking back on AKB's history like this today, there are so many things that I can't talk about here alone, and I think it wasn't enough, but we look back on songs at our next concert, don't we?
So, while walking together with AKB's history in the future, we want to continue to make history together with the members in the future, so we want to make 2021 an even more fun year! Thank you for today!
Looking back on our 15th anniversary, there were a lot of things we didn't know and things we learned for the first time.
I think there are scenes that our seniors have seen before, but there are a lot of members like us who haven't seen such a big scene yet,
so I want to do my best to continue seeing such scenes in the next 16 years or so!
Most of all, thanks to the fans and staff who always support us, AKB48 is able to work,
so I hope we can continue to work without forgetting that feeling of gratitude in the future!
Thank you for today!
Thank you!
I'm Momoka Onishi.
Today, I was able to look back on history with all the members like this again,
and I think it is a great honor and pride for me to be able to work with such a historical group like this.
Although we have a lot of history, we would like to create a new AKB48 from now on,
and I would like to do my best to repay the group AKB48 so that many people will know that this is the current AKB48!
I will do my best, so thank you!
Thank you!
The 15th anniversary has a very deep history,
but I would like to ask Minami Minagishi, who has been running with us as the only initial member, for one last word!
I'm sorry! Even though I announced my graduation last year, I don't think I can do it this year!
First of all, thank you very much to all the fans who have supported us for 15 years!
Sometimes I run as a member, sometimes I stand still, and I've experienced a lot of things,
and I think it would be a better team if all the members could capture each and every event that happens to AKB.
After all, if we can be happy and sad about each and every thing without thinking about it as a group,
I'm sure AKB will become a group that can send out a lot of energy,
so I hope we can all be happy and frustrated about each and every thing this year and move forward!
I'll stay a little longer until my graduation, but thank you for your support until the end!
Thank you!
So, thank you for your support for AKB48's 16th anniversary!
And the details of the tdc hall concert, which will be held from January 22nd to 24th, 2021,
will be announced on the official AKB48 blog at 21 o'clock today!
We look forward to your visit! Thank you!
Thank you for your support!
In addition, on December 31st, AKB48 Theatre will hold their 15th anniversary anniversary "I Forgot My Age" New Year's party!
It's our first attempt, and we'd like you to check it out!
Thank you so much for watching until the end!
Thank you!
See you again! Goodbye!
Bye-bye!
