AISubs v3.7
I haven't put any tape on it yet.
Two pillars that have carved out the history of akb48.
One of them still has not left its mark of the 15th year.
December 8, 2020, marks the 15th anniversary of the AKB48.
For the first time as an anniversary performance, it was held without an audience.
Originally, each member would gather at the theater and express their gratitude to the fans,
and set off for a new year.
I am very sorry that it has become such a remote anniversary.
December 8 is an important day for the theater, but since it is a festival,
it is a limited distribution if it is held without fans and audiences, but it is still lonely, isn't it?
To be honest, it's a shame, but it can't be helped because of the situation.
After all, on anniversaries, all the members gather and as the number increases,
the number of people increases, and at first, you can't take a group photo, and you come to the audience seat.
On anniversaries, there is such an image, so I think it's really sad that we couldn't do it.
I hope we can talk with the staff and members about what we can do.
Yay!
After being affected by the new coronavirus infection third wave,
AKB48's 15th Anniversary Special Performance changed the content of the show in a hurry,
and the cast members were connected by emote and held a live talk event.
Originally, we had prepared a 98-song solo medley performance,
but that was postponed due to unforeseen events.
For this day, the song performance prepared by the members will be postponed.
The usual tape pasting was done until one of the pillars was pasted, and the other was decided to be pasted again in front of the fans on the day when the coronavirus ended.
And until that day comes, we promised each other to do our best in what we can do now.
After all, we want to paste it on the day we celebrated our 15th anniversary together in front of you fans, so this side is still open.
I really hope that this situation will calm down next year and we will all be able to paste it in this theater.
December 8th in LA, end of year in LA.
2020 that no one imagined.
What does and what does AKB48 group director MINYON feel and think?
Good morning.
The recording of a radio show where MINYON plays the main personality.
It's nice to think about AKB48 ten years from now with special advisor KAZURAZER and weekly AKB48 members.
Today's theme is "youth special" and we are going to meet former director YOKOYAMA and talk about AKB48 now and in the future.
And this is KAZURAZER, special advisor. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Thank you for having me!
Thank you for having me this year, too!
Thank you!
First of all, I would like to talk about "youth special" because it is a topic that cannot be avoided, but this time it was not possible to participate.
They participated in AKB for 12 times in 2003 and for 11 years in a row.
It was cut off there.
What did you think about it?
Of course I was frustrated, but I was most sorry for the fans and staff who supported us, but I also felt sorry for the seniors who made history.
It was cut off on our stage.
I see.
And I was frustrated, but I also had a little prediction that it would be like that.
So it wasn't like I was really surprised to hear it, but I was more frustrated.
Did you accept it somehow?
I was very frustrated and sorry for myself for thinking like that.
I think Miyon has already taken on the form of "Director Miyon Seo", so I think you can go all out.
I think it was 2020 when there were many restrictions, but if there are no restrictions, I think it means what you want to do, so if you don't have to worry about anything and you can do what you can do, what do you want to do as akb?
Thinking about that, Miyon is Miyon, but in words of what kind of form you want to take jkb, I think it will be even better if you rely more on everyone and do it.
It's been 11 years in a row, isn't it? It's been 12 times in total, isn't it? I don't know, but isn't it like that? If it comes out to some extent, isn't it too soon?
That's right, I think so, but I noticed akb's way of doing it for a while, but it's subtly the same group thing, but the Sakabechi group is still doing it with a different concept, isn't it?
The concept of the akb group concept now and the concept of the Sakabechi group concept is probably accepted, isn't it? In that case, I think it can't be helped if it becomes popular, but ripley and I are doing it again and again and saying it a lot, but each one's potential hasn't changed, hasn't it?
That's right. It's a time to change how you look like.
It's like the distinction that you can't rely on the signboard anymore.
It's a story about how it will come out in each one, isn't it?
That's right.
Isn't that a chance?
After recording the radio, while moving to the next job, he talked to me about his thoughts on akb48 again.
The situation as a group is not very positive, is it?
At that time, the situation of corona has been overlapping, and I'm worried that the group will no longer be able to move forward with a double punch.
The anxiety is very big, and there is a line group called "director and captains", but there are captains of each team and Mr. Yokoyama there, and the line group has had a pretty sense of crisis since the corona was in vogue, and if we don't move now, we won't be able to do anything and the group will end, so I'm thinking about it and
OUC48 was born in such a situation.
Members acted on their own and realized Mr. Yokoyama's idea.

At this rate, I don't think I can do anything for everyone, so even if I'm at home, I thought I could do something for everyone and the group, and it was just when I started YouTube and started editing and studying, so I said that I wanted to do this.
It's pressure.
After all, I don't know, I still don't think I can do anything at all, and by becoming a role called "director and captains",
I think that there are more people who have good thoughts than bad ones.
But even for me, I feel like I'm only benefiting from it.
So I don't want to be like that, and I think I have to do more difficult things by myself.
But at this time of year, I feel like I can't even do difficult things, and I feel like I'm struggling all the time.
I can't even do difficult things.
It was NHK Kohaku Utagassen's downfall that she suffered from such frustration.
When I joined as a research student, my debut was at Budokan, and three days later it was at Tokyo Dome.
It was like that in the beginning.
And I feel again that all the stages that I used to stand on as if it were normal at the time were all so far away.
Of course, I know that I don't have as much momentum as I did before, but I didn't see it as a result of something, so I'm grateful that you called me as usual for the singing show.
There were parts where I could see it in detail, but I think it was the first time that I was pushed into reality.
I think it's frustrating that I could have predicted it.
I can't say with confidence that I've been working hard for a year over the end of this year.
Miyon suffers from various conflicts.
Kaz Razor's words strongly resonated with her.
It was a really new way of thinking, or a way of thinking that I hadn't thought of at all, so it was a word that gave me a lot of light.
It's because we're a group that we can't do anything unless we get together.
I had quite a bit of thought about the fact that we couldn't do anything because we couldn't get together now.
If you ask me, if everyone was scattered and put their strength in their own places and came back when they were gathered, they might have gotten really strong.
I was very convinced of that.
I've been thinking about a lot of negative things lately, but I think that if you take it that way, your consciousness will change.
Myself, too.
I have to be one of them, and I think I saw something like a goal for 2021 on the theme.
Minion, who found a guide to where akb48 should go.
It seems that the footsteps towards and towards the rehearsal for the Japanese record target have become a little lighter.
In the second half, we will closely follow the performance of "New Year's Day".
What kind of year will 2021 be for akb48?
