AISubs v3.7
It was formed on October 9th, 2010 and it's been a year now.
Thank you so much for supporting us for a year!
Thank you!
It's been a year!
One more year!
This year has been a year of great learning for all of us.
Our age, environment and personalities were all different.
When we had our first lesson with all of our members together, we were filled with anxiety.
Our seniors, AKB-san, SKE-san, SDN-48-san...
To be honest, I felt a lot of pressure because of all of you.
One year ago, when we stood on the stage of the theater, I still remember how excited we were.
After our first song, "Tsukimizo", we saw a crowd of people in front of us.
I will never forget how excited we were and how moved we were.
Thanks to you, we, NMB48, were able to win first place at the July release of our debut single "Exterminate Black Hair Girl".
We are so grateful to you that we can't even thank you enough.
In the midst of all of this, we were worried about our fans.
Some of us were depressed and felt like our spirits were about to fall apart.
But we held meetings every day and talked about what we wanted to say.
We fought, cried, comforted one another, embraced one another and encouraged one another.
We gradually became one.
I am truly happy to be able to stand on this stage today.
Thank you very much!
One day, when we were recording a new song,
Mr. Akimoto sent us lyrics for a coupling song.
Without saying a word,
Mr. Akimoto, who is always watching over us from afar,
wrote the lyrics for us at the time.
When we saw those lyrics, we cried.
We cried so much that we couldn't record anymore.
At the same time, we, NMB48, strongly wanted to do this.
NMB48's one year anniversary.
From now on, we will aim for a group like those lyrics and do our best.
Now, this is really, really the last song.
Please listen to it.
"Boku wa Matteru" (I'm Waiting)
I'm going to look for someone to look at their feet.
Even if there are many and such difficulties await us (kazu ga ooku sonnna konnan ga mattetemo)
Don't make a weak sound (yoane nanka ittari suruna)
After all, since when have we been friends who vowed to go to the place of our dreams?
To live is to hurt (ikiru koto wa kizutsuku koto da)
Those who repeat only mistakes (ayamachi bakari wo kurikaesu mono)
Cause trouble to people around you (mawari no hito ni meiwaku wo kakete)
You cry when I leave you behind (oite itte to naku kimi wo)
I didn't make a mistake (boku wa misuttenai)
Your luggage is heavy (kimi no himotsu ga omoi)
I don't want to release it (dashitakunai nda)
Kick out your dreams (oidaseyo jibun no yume wo)
Are you going to give up at a place like this? (konna tokoro de akirameru no ka)
Even if I take a detour or take a short break (yorimichi shite mo sukoshi yasunde mo)
Until the day you start walking again (kimi ga mata arukidasu hi made)
I'm smiling (boku wa waratte iru)
It hurts (koto wa kizutsuku koto da)
Those who repeatedly make mistakes (ayomachi mayai wo kurikaesu mono)
To cause trouble to the person taking your place (dawari no hito ni meiwaku wo daku)
