AISubs v3.7
Lesson Training Camp
Lesson training camp for the May 10th draft meeting began.
On the first day and the second day, candidates worked hard on their dance lessons.
I've come this far, but I thought I'd do my best.
Some of them left the training camp.
Some of them faced themselves and tried to find their own answers.
We won't be dancing tomorrow.
What?
Voice training is not allowed.
And on the third day, they faced a new hurdle.
At 10 a.m., in front of the candidates who finished self-study and gathered,
voice lesson instructor Hidenori Sugai came.
I will give you a singing lesson today.
I'm Sugai. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too!
Sugai has been involved with the AKB48 group since morning.
On "nemos" TV, AKB48, 13th, 14th, and now Team 8
have been discussing the meaning of singing through voice lessons.
Can't you get hot?
They're telling me to speak up, but my face is so dark that I feel like I'm getting in a fight.
So if you can only make that face, I think you can say "good morning."
Doing something you don't want to do is like acting, singing, and dancing,
but it's difficult for people to grasp and see it.
They wanted to convey the conviction of singing in a limited time of day.
In their harsh words, they were trying to guide their awareness with passionate feelings.
I know you're nervous.
But you're here for the audition because you have hope in your heart, right?
So you have to do this audition with hope in your heart.
Otherwise, it's meaningless.
Do you understand?
Yes!
Following their greetings, they had a lesson about abdominal breathing.
Abdominal breathing is a must-have breathing method to keep your throat from hurting and to make a stable voice.
Since many people take voice lessons for the first time, they had to teach them carefully.
Abdominal breathing.
What happens to your stomach when you do abdominal breathing?
It gets bigger.
Yes, that's a big mistake.
You have to make it bigger.
Exhale.
This is how you do it.
This is how you walk normally.
You're on TV, right?
You're on stage, right?
You have to be able to do it like this.
Now, take that breath.
Inhale and exhale.
Try to make this sound.
Try it with your ear.
After teaching them how to do abdominal breathing,
Sugai taught them how to do abdominal breathing with both hands.
Now, put this hand forward.
Lift it up properly.
Now, the other hand.
Abdominal breathing with both hands.
At first glance, it seems like it has nothing to do with moving hands and vocalization,
but what Sugai wants to convey is...
Can you say "surprise"?
Surprising.
Surprise!
Like "surprise!", that's the most important thing.
Surprise!
If you don't look up properly, your nose won't get bigger.
When you say "yes", you have to say "yes", right?
Yes!
That's right. If you don't say "yes", you won't get bigger.
Look up and say "yes". You can say "yes" as loud as you want.
Yes!
Look up and say "yes".
Yes!
You don't know at all, do you?
Yes!
Your eyes say things in your mouth and that's it.
Why are all these muscles connected?
Actually, even with this finger, when you make a loud sound,
for example, if you hold it here or here, your voice will change like this.
That's why feelings and voice have to link together to make a meaningful song.
Remember that.
If you don't use your whole body, you won't be able to speak.
Your body can't move without your heart.
Through the basic lessons of vocalization, we also solved the basics of singing.
Yes!
You know, when you use your hands like this...
Yes, yes, yes!
This will definitely come off, right?
Put on a stopper and stop like this, okay?
Lessons were switched to pick-up instructions for several people.
Each person was given a hot instruction.
Yes!
Mum.
Mum!
You can't come here. Do you understand?
You deserve it. Don't struggle for what you deserve.
He dared to say harsh words.
Because he felt a certain air floating in them.
You should speak like an electric piano.
You're only making sounds.
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma.
That's not good at all. You don't feel anything.
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma.
Even more.
You're too soft. I'm so tired of you.
I thought you were doing just right.
You're really soft.
We can't be rejected, right?
Some people are chosen and some are not.
If you are not chosen, there will be those who are not smart
There will be people who are fading away
It's kind of warm
That part
Do your best from the end
Since you are that kind of person
How do you go back to before you get pushed by others?
That won't help you
If you don't do it, you'll be attacked with your life.
You can't do it if you don't do it.
What does that mean?
Does it make sense?
So you're pushing yourself that far, aren't you?
"Teacher, please spread it out." "Yes, make a voice like this."
No, it's not like that.
If you go there, you have to become that person himself.
So how do you record it?
If you do that, won't you be able to make a voice like that?
Yes!
And you just have to do it, right?
Yes!
And what about the sound?
Why can't these doctors do it?
It's that simple, isn't it?
In short, you're just objectively looking at it.
You don't need someone who can't do anything unless you're looked at.
Two and a half hours since the basic lesson began.
As Shido's concentration increases even more,
the scoutmen, the active members, have arrived.
When you're with others, you can apply it to yourself, too.
It's stealing and taking.
Let me teach you.
Three, yes.
Meah.
No, three.
MEAAAAAAAAA!
Just say it like that!
Yes.
That's right.
Oh and,
you have to use your mouth properly.
If you don't use your mouth properly, you can't sing.
You may know it yourself, but usually everyone is the same.
After you sing like this, you can't sing.
Why can't I sing like this when I don't use my mouth?
If you don't use your mouth properly, you can't sing.
Because there are words and sounds in music.
If you use your mouth properly, you can sing.
And you don't have to do anything, you can still sing.
That's where it starts.
There's no magic in singing.
If you use your mouth and sounds properly, you can sing.
All you need is your emotions.
Okay, next.
Don't cry.
Got it?
Yes.
Got it? Can you promise me?
We don't have time for that. It's a waste of time.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Yes?
Because of their nervousness during the lesson, the scouts' expressions also became tense.
As they stare into each other's eyes, each of the candidates struggles to grasp their dreams.
Each of them is repeating their past selves.
After three hours of basic lessons, today's song has been announced.
Today's song is...
This is Rhodes Island, this is where I want to fly.
This song is by Ekebi, right?
Yes!
Can you sing "whatever you want to do"?
Yes!
The truth is you.
I love you.
I don't want it to end.
I'll show you my current state.
Suddenly, the candidates are asked to sing difficult songs. What is Mr. Sugai's intention?
Can I say it with numbers now? I couldn't remember it before.
Please sit down except for those who have just been called.
Can I say it with numbers now? I couldn't remember it before.
Please sit down except for those who have just been called.
Five candidates were called. They were gathered in front of Mr. Sugai.
The reason I called you is because when you were singing, I was looking at you like this and my mouth was numb.
Even if you don't speak, I think you're moving your mouth as hard as you can.
I don't know if it's a memory while looking down, but I'm doing it while checking something, but it's not a place anymore.
What can't you do to sing this song? Can't you say a word now?
I'm sorry. Please sit down.
I'm sorry. Pink shoulder. What's your name?
I'm Ishiki.
Ishiki. Ishiki-made person.
Can you get off for a second?
Please step back a little.
Please step forward a little.
Come this way and look this way and listen to me.
One, two, three, four.
I'm sorry? How old?
Twelve.
How old?
Twelve.
How old?
Eleven.
How old?
Eleven.
Sorry?
How old?
Eleven.
How old?
Thirteen.
How old?
Twelve.
How old?
Seventeen.
How old?
Eleven.
Fourteen.
It's true you're older than your sister.
But you know, once you join the AKB, you can't just say how old you are or how much you've trained.
You have to work even harder. It's a handicap. It can't be helped. Do you understand?
After telling them not to make an excuse of their age and not to make an effort,
Sugai-sensei gave out the lyrics of "koko ga rodo" and "koko de tobe" to everyone.
Thank you.
Let's take a look.
Number two.
There are lyrics, right?
Yes.
Please read them aloud.
"Koko ga rodo" "koko de tobe" "koko de tobe"
Do you know up to number two?
If you don't know, please raise your hand if you haven't listened to it yet.
If you don't know, please raise your hand if you know more about it.
Number two has lyrics like this.
Can you sit down for a moment?
Most of the songs you see on TV and on the radio are one and a half.
In fact, number two's lyrics say something important.
Is it a song that you sing with a smile?
No, it's not.
It's weird for me to see it.
That's what it means to properly express the lyrics and understand them.
When you come here, you're singing this song all the time, but it's not that song, is it?
It's a song like "it's painful", isn't it? It's a song like "it's tough", isn't it?
Please understand the lyrics properly.
Let's talk about a drama while telling a story.
I went to Rhodes Island and I was about to leave, and I said, "Then do it here now."
Sure, you may have been able to do it in Rhodes Island, but you couldn't do it here now, right?
No matter how much you did, no matter how hard you worked here, no matter how hard you tried to appeal,
there are people who can't be picked up.
The result is all about being picked up there.
That's the result.
So first of all, do your best.
Along with that, you don't think of yourself as a bad person who has been working hard like that.
I always think that of course it is important to be picked up for auditions.
Everyone is doing their best to be picked up.
But even if you don't get picked up by that team there, you have confidence that what you've done so far won't be impossible.
You don't know what will happen the next day.
So please have a goal ahead of you.
Yes, sir!
There is a way to remember this dance well or this song well.
If you don't aim for it, you won't have such a boring will.
So if you want to do it like that, it's best to remember it in advance.
Have a goal ahead of you for auditions.
The lyrics of this song were sent to me by Mr. Sugai.
I want to end it.
I look back.
I tried hard.
I did my best.
Don't blame me.
Show me who you are now.
This is Rhodes Island.
Come on, fly here.
After this, there will be eight teams.
Until then, remember this firmly.
Remembering is not remembering with words.
Remember with imagination.
If it wasn't for "ah" at that time, this wouldn't have happened, and everyone would blame others.
But even if you say that, you will lose.
Can you make up this song with that kind of feeling?
Yes!
After the overall singing lesson,
Candidates are divided into eight groups of "a" to "h",
and stand in front of Mr. Sugai.
First of all, these six people.
Group "a".
I got it.
Kawaguchi, you sing first.
A long, long road. I ran a long road.
The dawn has finally come.
A long road. I ran a long road.
The dawn has finally come.
I don't feel anything.
A long road. I ran a long road.
Can you say "I'm good at this"?
No one?
I can't continue music.
Can you?
Please.
Can you do it?
No.
Can you do it?
I'm not confident.
Can you do it?
A long road. I ran a long road.
The dawn has finally come.
Like this.
Can you sing it?
A long road. I ran a long road.
The dawn has finally come.
Thank you.
When you sing, lyrics come to mind.
This is the best thing about being a singer.
Even if you don't sing well, if you don't sing well, you can't be a singer.
You are saved by music.
You can't be saved by music.
A long road. I ran a long road.
You can't sing like this.
I'm not going to be like you.
Please forgive me.
You are here, so you can be yourself.
You can't do this or that.
You can do this or that.
You can be yourself.
This is kindness.
Yes.
I'm sorry. I won't let you practice again.
What are you doing?
The dream that appears before you looks like a dream when you open your eyes.
At that time, even in group B, there was a candidate who was stuck in lyrics in front of Mr. Sugai.
"Nagai michi no hohoyo eireirei" What is that?
Nagai yamanomi
It's a song called "Michinori wo hashirinuke".
Yes.
You didn't get the lyrics wrong in the beginning, did you?
Yama no michinori wo hashirinuke
Ya...ya...
Yama no michinori wo hashirinuke
Excuse me!
That's not what you're supposed to do!
Nagai michinori wo hashirinuke
Yatto yama no fumoto made kita yoake
Sorry, but can you just dance a little?
One, two, three, four.
Can you just dance?
One more time, one more time.
One, two, three, four.
Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
I was wondering what you were doing.
What were you doing?
I was moving forward.
That's right.
I can see you're moving forward.
That's what I thought.
Yosho! Yosho!
Uwaao!
I can see you're saying that.
But you can't do that.
Go ahead.
What were you thinking just now?
Is there anyone from the dance group?
I'm fine, too.
Yosho! Yosho!
I'm sorry, can you come in for a second?
It's a little new, but you can try it right away.
Group D and Group A joined and the lesson resumed.
Riding a long road and running, I finally made it to the top of the mountain!
Don't say you worked hard or tried hard!
Show me who you are now! This is Galados! Come on, fly here!
That dream of standing tall in front of you is like a cloud on a cliff!
Reality is harsh! It's hard to climb!
"It's okay, can you read it out loud?" "Yes."
Riding a long road and running, I finally made it to the top of the mountain!
"Dawn." "Don't you feel sorry for yourself?" "No one."
If you can't make a sound, you can't make lyrics.
That's why you can't feel anything.
"I told you before that you can't feel anything." "Yes."
"No one can come up here if they can't do it." "Yes."
I want you to feel that today, but it may not happen.
Group B won, and you said it yourself.
Come here and run!
"And say it as it is, but make it sound as good as you can." "Yes."
Next up is Group C.
Until you express your song, you have to fill in your own gaps.
Yes.
Finally.
Do you know what 'yama' and 'fumoto' are?
If you don't know them, you don't know what they mean.
If you don't know what they mean, you can't memorize them.
But you can't help it. You have to learn them.
I'll start from the beginning.
Come a little closer.
One, two, three, four.
Yes, that's it.
Tani's 'fumoto'.
When I do this, you who have not imagined anything are terrified of it.
What is this?
The scenery represents something. It's not just music. What is it?
They are running towards the flowers.
That's right. I don't know if there is a grassland or not, but people with long faces are running in the grassland and saying, "Let's do our best!"
But in the middle of it, "Oh, I don't know. Let's do our best again!" I don't have such an image at all.
Is this okay?
I'll tell you about these five people. Music is not important when you are singing.
When you are singing, your voice comes out and your expressions come out.
It's about how you make that space as music when you're not doing music.
It's about how you take your breath.
Music is only when there is no sound.
It may be a little difficult, but do you understand now?
It is most important to fill in the music when you are not singing.
Why do you say that?
It's common for one of you to take a breath.
But you're in line, so you can't breathe. That's why you don't sing.
This is a human emotional problem that can't be taught anymore.
Do you understand? It's because you're not singing.
It's because you don't do it with your feelings.
Everyone, don't forget your heart.
Can you do it?
You are different people now.
You are a world of imagination that everyone creates.
It's supposed to be a song that's messed up.
It means that your appearance is wonderful.
When you climb to the top, that's where you are truly beautiful.
What are you going to do?
Can you stand over there for a moment?
Yes.
In the following groups, there were many people who stumbled at the first step of becoming a performer.
However, realizing that fact has the real meaning of today.
One, two, three, up!
One, two, long one, two, three, four!
Run along the long road.
Excuse me.
Are you being forced to do it, or are you doing it calmly?
Or are you doing it with your heart?
I'm thinking about it in my heart, but I haven't been able to do it well.
Then I'll do it.
Please try it.
One, two, up!
Run along the long road.
The dream that stands in front of you at dawn when you finally reach the foot of the mountain is...
Do you really have a dream?
Can you convince me with your own dream and persuasion?
I want to stand on stage and definitely be a shining person.
Can you say that with all your heart?
Yes.
Life is only once.
No matter how much you live, 365 days a year, 365 days in 10 years, and 365,000 days in 100 years,
Life is short, isn't it?
Life is short.
You may think I'm stupid, and you may think I'm super bad, but I've pushed through it.
I have that persuasion.
Please say it with your own throat.
Say it!
I definitely want to shine brighter than anyone else when I'm on stage!
Don't forget that now!
After all, sing better!
Don't sing like a kid!
Come on, make it! Just once!
You don't need to be cool to make it! Face it!
I've been running a long road,
but I can't stop now.
It's been 9 and a half hours since the lesson began.
All candidates started at the same time.
Thank you for your hard work.
Anyway, I'll practice from 11 o'clock in the morning.
Thank you for your hard work for a long time.
Some people take singing lessons for the first time.
If it weren't for my father, I wouldn't have thought that I would have to sing so many lyrics.
I think it's a day I've never had before.
If you're going to do it properly from tomorrow,
I want you to be a courageous person who can spit out your dirty parts, your unpleasant parts, and your shameless parts.
Yes!
Please come out in front of me now.
No. 2, Ando.
No. 2, Izumi.
Yes.
No. 2, Inoue.
Yes.
No. 2, Imamura.
Yes.
No. 2, Kageyan.

Yes.
No. 2, Matsuoka-san.
Yes.
No. 2, Yasuda.
Yes.
I want you to sing for me at the end.
Look this way, people in the back.
The 14 candidates who were called by their names.
Even though they were confused by Tsugai sensei's sudden instructions,
they were able to sing all of today's results.
I didn't do this because I'm private and public.
If you're going to teach me today...
First of all, if you can't do it this far, you can't teach me.
Even you now, it's not good at all.
Do you understand?
Yes!
But you can't do it unless you're in the most straightforward state.
What I wanted you to see now is...
You're here because you can do it like this!
Do you understand?
Yes!
Everyone has that much responsibility.
Yes!
If you have responsibility, you can't say something to me and be silent.
Whether it's dancing or singing, you have to go one step forward with something you're good at.
There's no time to give up!
Yes!
Be prepared!
Yes!
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work!
Be prepared!
Ms. Sugai's strict but warm courtesy was well received by all candidates.
Next episode preview!
The lesson camp is now in its second half!
The remaining three days are dedicated to dancing!
The bond with friends born in it!
And...
There's a sign for all three teams!
The scouts sent in by each team!
What did the current team members think of the candidates?
Whether you're working hard or not is what I want to see.
Even if you can't dance, I think this girl's talent is really good.
Next episode!
The lesson camp is now in its second half!
Look forward to it!
