AISubs v3.8.2
I'm Chihiro Ushiyama, a 10th grade student.
I'm Kurumi Kurumika, a 10th grade student.
I'm Kotone Takahashi, a 10th grade student.
Nice to meet you.
When I was in the third grade of junior high school, I went to the theater for the first time at the NMB48 Theater.
The theater looked really shiny and the stage looked shining.
I wanted to do that, and I auditioned for it when I was in high school.
So you were a fan from the start?
Yes, I loved it and desperately played it with my penlight.
That's amazing.
I'm so happy for you to play it for us.
I was 22 years old, and I was just about to get a job,
22 or 23 years old when I applied for it.
The reason was that I've always liked 48 groups.
And I thought there was a connection in Osaka.
Really?
I wanted to be funny and talkative.
And I wanted to do comedy.
So I applied for it.
I've always liked 48 groups.
So I thought Penelope would be nice.
You don't like her today either.
I don't like her.
That's true.
I like that.
What about you, Kotone?
When I was 20 years old, I knew about the audition for the musical group.
I was like, wow, this is it!
I had been aiming for being an idol for a while.
I thought it was my last chance.
I was over 20 years old.
Can we watch this?
I'm 22 years old.
I think you still have a bright future.
It's like, three things for three reasons.
Some people like it and join it, some people join it by chance, and some people join it by chance.
Like this.
It's the last chance.
It's the last chance for me.
I think you can join us even you don't know us.
I always admire being on stage with my seniors.
I'm wearing a cute uniform today.
There are so many kinds of costumes.
I'm glad I could wear a lot of historical costumes for 15 years.
Oh, that's true.
There are so many wonderful costumes, and we are wearing them now because of the seniors who used to wear them carefully.
It's nice to feel that history, isn't it?
The size is also...
Size development!
That's right, you're tall.
That's right, it's the biggest.
Don't worry!
I'll join you.
There are many places like that.
Speaking of things I like, it's Osaka, right?
It's in Namba, so they specialize in comedy.
It's funny anyway.
Even at the theater or MC, it's funny anyway.
I think I learned how to talk and how to MC.
And, no matter what you say, this theater performance that we do almost every day!
I think this is really only possible at NMB.
Here you can increase your performance power and step on the explosion.
I think it's really nice that such a place is available.
It was really good for me too. I was able to grow up.
You've grown up, haven't you?
What about you, Kotone?
I'm sure the staff and managers and members are like that, but I'm sure you've heard a lot about it and you've taken it seriously.
You're protecting me properly.
That's right.
If you say, like, there's something going on, you're always worried about it.
I'm sure you've all thought about it together.
I'm very shocked.
After the theater performance, we had a reflection session.
The dance teacher on that day taught me a lot about my reflection points.
It was a shock to have an MC reflection session.
It was hard. At first I couldn't speak at all as an MC and I was really nervous.
But then I reflected and said, if you do this and that it'll get better.
But when it worked out, I got a lot of praise and people said it was a good joke.
I thought it was a great place for me to grow, not a negative image of it as a reflection meeting.
It was a shock.
It's also in the MC's.
I was surprised.
What was hard for me was...
Well, I'm a member who can dance.
Formation.
It's only for the big guys.
If I make a mistake, we'll clash.
So you have to remember your number.
I think it's not a dance skill but a brain power, a memory power.
Learning numbers without dancing skills was really hard.
It was hard until you got used to it.
I'm like you but I've lived 20 years without dancing.
Even if you are not good at dancing, you can learn from members who are good at dancing.
It's hard work, but teachers and members teach you and you grow.
I think it's fun to win.
While there are many idols in Tokyo,
this group called lnb for data is based in Kansai and is active as a base in Osaka, so it is easy for children living in Kansai to accept it.
I myself am from Hyogo Prefecture, but if you live in Kansai like me, you can come from Tokyo.
It's the same for all over the country, and especially for Kansai people, it's easy to come.
That's right, you two are both coming.
I'm sure I'm already anyway
There are a lot of really good places, but
The place where you can challenge anything
This is really amazing
Well, I'm a little r one gram right after joining
It's a comedy grand prix, but I said I wanted to challenge it.
I said it a day before the recruitment ended, but it was already answered immediately.
And they let me apply for it.
And they always let me do what I want to do.
That's like...
I think it's going to lead to my idol, this nmb48 after graduation.
It's going to challenge me a lot to grow.
It's really wonderful.
I was surprised you said you'd get an R-1.
Yeah, I'm from Tokyo.
I was surprised.
I was faster than anyone else.
I'm glad that I was able to stand on the stage of the number one band the other day and I'm glad that there are no other groups.
That's a good thing about nb48.
I'm in nb48 because of makeup artist.
I'm getting used to be cute because of makeup artist.
She does my hair well and takes time to do my hair.
I'm nervous on stage.
I've been to many theaters and performances, and I've gradually calmed down and started to show who I am.
But first of all, my range of action has expanded.
Your range of action has expanded.
I couldn't ride the train alone.
Oh, I see.
I couldn't ride it, but now I can ride it by myself.
You're great.
So I've become great.
You've grown up as a person.
You can ride a train now.
Yeah, that's true.
But there are still a lot of middle school students and maybe even eleventh graders who are still in elementary school.
Ah! I know!
Really. But it's nice to be able to be independent.
That's true.
That's right. I've changed a lot.
Until now, I didn't want to be an idol and worked hard all the time.
I only thought about myself.
What I want to be as an idol.
But once I joined, there were people who supported me and people who work hard with me.
I started thinking about others.
I also started thinking about my fans.
But soon after joining, there were people who supported me.
It was a big minus for me.
But now I can accept people who support me.
Even if we have a concert or a live performance, we want to show our fans as much as possible.
I think it's very unusual for us to perform while thinking about whether we can convey our feelings to the audience.
I'm able to think about what's around me.
I'm more conscious of my body.
You seemed like you were.
I didn't care about my makeup or my hair that much.
I search and choose which one to wear, and I get instructions from my seniors and members.
I'm trying hard to keep myself hydrated.
No matter what happens, you'll always be grateful for what you see.
I want people to praise me.
I'm going to keep myself clean from day to day.
I love Nnb48 and I joined them, so I want more people to know about Nnb48.
Of course, there are fans of Nnb48 now, but there are also fans who don't know much about Nnb48.
I hope you know about nmb48 now and like it at the stage of auditioning.
I hope we can work together with love for nmb48.
I agree.
I'm a little like you, but I'm sure I'll be active in nmb48!
A girl with a feeling of being active!
Even if you don't have it now, of course it will change when you join.
But if you have that feeling after joining, your growth speed will increase.
I think it will be a grateful existence for the members to continue the group.
I'm still...
I don't have a junior, but if I had one, I would do my best.
I joined at 22 years old, and I was raised until 24 years old.
I want any age group to challenge themselves.
I want you to challenge yourself.
If you have a dream, I hope you will join.
I want a boyish girl to join.
As we were talking about it just now, even if you have one voice actress, it changes, doesn't it?
It does.
The atmosphere.
And every year, there are voice actresses in NMB48.
There have been recently, but there aren't many.
That's right.
That's why we are asking for you.
Please.
Personally?
We want you to come.
I joined NNB48 after taking the audition for the tenth generation.
My life has changed and I have grown as a person.
I have experienced things I have never experienced in my life.
I am very grateful for my family and my fans.
If you have a passionate desire to join NMB48 and liven up the atmosphere,
I think anyone is welcome, so please apply!
I've always wanted to be an idol, but I was finally able to make that dream come true with NMB48.
I've really grown up and changed.
So, don't think about how old you are or what you can't do.
I want you to try it.
I say, dreams don't escape.
Please try it.
I think you have a lot of dreams.
If you are interested in idols, you are watching now.
If you want to be an idol, you can do it with this NMB48.
If you have a lot of dreams to achieve, or if you want to be an idol, you can do it!
Please do your best! We are rooting for you!
Find your dream! Make your dream come true!
Don't you be young with NMB48?
