AISubs v3.7
On May 10, 48 candidates were selected for the draft meeting on the same day.
While the current members were interested in their actions,
Director Takahashi Minami had a vague view of her position.
As a trigger for future developments, what does she imagine the second draft meeting to be like?
It's our 10th anniversary this year, so I want to move forward with everyone properly.
And I want to connect to the 11th year without being satisfied with the 10th anniversary.
I'm also announcing that I won't be there this year.
I want to see an AKB group without me.
I want to leave hope for the future.
I think what's missing now is a sense of crisis.
There are fewer and fewer seniors.
I think young people will be easier to deal with little by little.
If there are young people who are working hard, they will naturally think that they have to work hard.
And I think we need young people who can give us a sense of crisis.
I don't intend to put pressure on the girls in the draft.
It's not like a normal draft.
It's not like we're taking the players who were active somewhere.
It's the same as the auditions so far.
The girls who came up with their dreams.
Whether or not you want them on your team.
I'm sorry, but it's an event we're in charge of.
I don't want to put pressure on you because you're in this position.
But I think it's big to have one brand that came in with a draft.
I think it's difficult for girls who just auditioned.
For example, what kind of characters you want to go up with as AKB members.
Let's be selected.
It starts with looking for a little bit of it.
But the girls who came in with the draft first have a brand called "draft students".
I'm looking forward to seeing how they're going to make the most of it.
After all, we seniors don't leave it alone.
I want to assist them so that they can grow up.
I think it's really interesting to have a draft meeting as a new form of auditioning.
I felt that we had a lot of responsibility to choose ourselves.
They're the ones who got it, so they have to do it properly.
But I felt it a lot, so I have to know what I'm thinking about and choose it properly.
I'm sorry about that.
In that sense, I'm very happy that I can get a lot of information about what the scoutman system and what the same member felt about it.
This time, a new scoutman system has been introduced.
It is a system that allows each team from each location to coordinate and directly test the scoutman.
Team B is Mayu Ogasawara and Juri Takahashi.
Team FOUR is Miyon Mukaichi and Rio Okawa.
Team S is Mai Takeuchi and Miki Yakata.
Team KII is Sarina Souda, who is a draft one-time player.
And Team E is Makiko Saito.
Team N is Suto Ririka, who is a draft one-time player.
Team M is Sae Murase.
Team BII is Kanako Kadowaki.
Team H is Riko Sakaguchi.
And Team KIV is Aoi Motomura.
These 15 players will lead each team as scouts and go to battle for talent discovery.
Hello, draft candidates.
I'm Minami Takahashi, AKB48 director.
Thank you for accepting my audition.
I'm looking forward to meeting you all.
I think there are still many things we can't do.
There are many things we can't sing or dance.
What we're looking for is not what we can't do.
It's about how hard you work.
I'm sure you'll be happy when you join AKB48.
But I'm sure you'll fall over and over again.
"Oh, I can't do this." "This is how it works."
This is a lot of work.
There are a lot of things to think about.
We don't want you to fall there.
We want you to stand up and move forward.
We'd like to find someone who has that kind of guts.
AKB48's 10th anniversary this year.
I'd like to find someone who will run with me for the 11th and 10th years.
I know it's hard, but please do your best!
