AISubs v3.4
Now, the first round of the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round has begun!
We will broadcast it live from TBSG Studio!
Yes, I, Yusuke Awaga, will be leading the show this time. Thank you for having me!
And...
I'm Hiroyuki "Aoki" Aokiko of Kougunsha.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Aoki.
I'm not working for Kougunsha anymore.
But I've been making Platinum Flash games like this.
And recently, I've been working on my graduation pamphlet for Sayanei.
Thank you for having me.
You're the first one to advertise.
I'm just... I'm just a salaryman.
Mr. Aoki of Kougunsha.
Thank you for having me.
So, this is the first time for AKB48 Group.
Who is the most attractive singer in AKB48 Group?
This is the first round of singing competition for AKB48 Group.
In this show, we will decide who will advance to the final round.
By the way, Mr. Aoki...
Yes?
What's special about this show?
AKB48 Group has a general election.
That's right!
And we also have a rock-paper-scissors competition.
A general election is an event where you win with your fans.
A rock-paper-scissors competition is an event where you leave luck to chance.
In this show, you will be singing alone.
So you will win by yourself.
I see.
I'm looking forward to this kind of event.
You will win by yourself.
That's right.
We usually work as a group.
In that sense, I think it's a lonely battle.
I think you can see various facial expressions.
Thank you.
This time, I would like to introduce the judges who will be in charge of judging.
First of all, Mr. Inoue Yoshimasa, who composed and composed many songs for AKB48 Group and is also a composer and musician.
Good evening.
Nice to meet you.
Mr. Aoki, you were promoting it from the beginning.
I'm recruiting members.
It's quite related to this project.
The first time I was involved was nine or ten years ago.
At that time, there were many good people who quit without becoming a center.
I would like you to audition for such people.
I'm a producer.
I'm Inoue Yoshimasa.
I don't know what you're talking about.
The word "center" means "graduates" and "centers" means "stars".
It shines even more after quitting.
That's a good thing.
If there was a project like this a little earlier, there would have been members who didn't quit and lived.
I see.
I would like you to judge and be in this group for a long time.
If you look at it with your fingers, it will be closed on February 31, 2018.
It's over.
It's hidden.
It's still okay.
It's already over.
It will be closed next January.
If you are an idol who is watching this, please apply for it.
Today we will judge the active members.
We will judge you from corner to corner.
We will check you from the lights.
I think we will see the same thing all the time.
I don't care about the screen.
We only care about your singing ability.
Is the camera angle okay?
It's okay.
We will check your singing ability.
Thank you for your cooperation.
He is a music producer who has worked with many famous artists.
He is Tomoji Sogawa.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I have nothing to say.
Why do you wear a pendant like that?
I made it yesterday.
What kind of work do you usually do?
I do a lot of things.
I don't just produce music.
I also train myself.
Next year, I will play a song by Miyuki Nagajima.
I want to see you play.
Thank you for your cooperation.
He is a keyboardist who also participates in COSPERAZ tour.
He is Yudai Sato.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Are you a keyboardist?
Yes.
I often play the keyboard.
Don't do that.
I'm not doing it.
I'm doing it now.
I'm not doing it.
I want to play this.
You play the piano and play the keyboard.
Yes.
I'm a singer.
Can I say it?
Yes.
I'm sorry for my presence.
I think it's common for a keyboardist and a vocalist to perform together.
From that perspective, I was really looking forward to it today.
Yes, thank you very much.
By the way, Yoshino-san, what did you think about this competition?
No, I really said it earlier, but maybe fans don't have much chance to listen to each person's song.
Although I'm an MC, this is a super rare project and there are always a large number of people.
I also mix some songs, but I was really worried about who's voice to raise or lower.
I was really worried for about 30 seconds.
That's a lot of time.
Yes, I was worried about it for about 30 minutes.
I was worried about it and raised and lowered it.
I decided it while imagining the eyes of these fans.
Is it possible to record it alone?
Of course you can record it one by one or three people at the same time.
I'm really looking forward to listening to it alone with my favorite song.
Don't sleep at night and have a lot of daytime.
You just turned it over in the middle of the night.
Thank you very much.
I think fans are already looking forward to it, but I'd like to start judging it right away.
The members of the akb48 group who will participate in the qualifying round this time are 155 people who have qualified themselves.
And there are about 20 members who will advance to the final tournament.
Somehow 20 people...
It's tough.
I don't know what will happen.
One percent.
That's right.
Today, 70 people will be judged for nmb48, hkt48, ngt48, and stu48.
Tomorrow's live broadcast will judge akb48 and stu48 for 85 people.
And each of the three judges will be rated with 100 points.
Each member will be rated with 300 points.
Based on this rating, 20 people will be ranked high in today's live broadcast and 20 people will be ranked high in tomorrow's live broadcast.
And 15 people will be rated high for two days without conditions and will advance to the final tournament.
And you will be able to choose about five more members from the top 20 for two days.
That's the rule.
It's a strange rule.
Thank you for your cooperation.
That's right.
So...
That's right.
By the way...
It's hard to get 100 points.
What criteria do you think will be used for rating?
I don't know until I hear it.
But I think I'll ask about the voice quality.
What kind of voice quality do you want?
Is it cute or not?
It's an impression.
How about you, Sato-san?
Well...
I haven't heard it yet, so I'm listening to it.
As you said, it's about the voice quality.
Of course, there is pitch.
But I think it's about the atmosphere and what's being conveyed.
It's like expressive power.
That's right.
We would like you to evaluate it in detail.
In addition, the final tournament will be held at Akasaka Act Theater on January 11 next year.
The final member will sing in the back of a full band.
That's a good choice.
Would you like me to say it?
It's better to leave it open.
It's starting to get serious all of a sudden.
It's like a work mode all of a sudden.
Thank you for your cooperation.
In addition, the winner will receive an original solo song produced by Yasushi Akimoto.
That's amazing.
I think it's a dream of the members.
That's right.
Until now, only a handful of people have received solo songs such as Kashiwagi, Mayu, Sassy, and Okada Nana- chan.
Yamamoto-san sang it earlier.
That's right.
But I haven't received it yet, so I'm pretty happy about it.
I see.
The members are also excited about it.
But who will grab this chance?
Everyone, it's a serious matter of responsibility.
If you're a good judge, would you like me to play a song for you?
I don't need it.
Wouldn't you be happy about it?
I think I'd be happy about it.
If you're happy about it, I think you'd be happy about it.
You're always looking for a job.
Because you already got one.
I don't know if I'll get it next year.
Is that so?
I'd like you to judge me right away.
First of all, the judges chose me by lottery.
Let's start the preliminary judging.
First of all, from NMB48.
I'm NMB48 Hori Shion. Nice to meet you!
What do you wish for? Tell me gently.
Even if you can never call this love "eternal",
Just for now, tell me a lie and make me believe it with weak words.
If the song of love can be heard, light will shine in the gray night sky.
Let's connect the light one by one and deliver it to you in the distance.
I feel like I can go back to tomorrow like I always do.
I looked up at the sky and said goodbye.
Tonight, I'm falling into a dream again.
Thank you very much.
I'm NMB48's Hongizer. Thank you for having me.
Even if ideal and reality change at the speed of a click of light,
I won't be Adam and Eve in a distance farther than the future of Earth.
If I could gently touch and heal that wound,
If I could gently touch and heal those overflowing feelings,
Love will shine on you and become light.
Even if I'm not there in the future you picture,
I'll gently hold you now.
Even if it's fate, I want it to draw me closer and continue to shine.
Even if it's a miracle, I want to believe that it can happen.
I want to believe.
Thank you very much.
I'm Mita Mao of NMB48. Thank you for having me.
I'm getting melancholic, your face is disappearing
Your voice is far away, far away
I wonder if you're somewhere in this sky
At the end of summer, we escaped together
In this park, we found that constellation
Somehow I remember it
Even if we can't meet, I'll follow my memories
I want to see the same happiness
With that scent, fireworks pop
I want to go to you
I want to run and go right now
It's pitch black and I can't see anything
Even if I'm scared, it's okay
The countless starry skies
Are still here forever
Don't cry
Because it's a beautiful sky like the one we saw together long ago
Thank you very much!
I'm Yamao Rina of NMB48. Nice to meet you!
It's not what you said at all
I believe
On my way home, my breath is getting colder
Only the stars are swaying
I'm about to forget even the faint warmth
I'm about to forget even falling in love
I realized it for the first time
I was the one who cried
The constellations of winter that were connected
I was staring at it so it wouldn't disappear from the sky
I believe
I'm Yuka Kato of NMB48. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me.
I can still do it.
Because I'm always shining.
Sometimes I'm in too much of a hurry and sometimes I lose sight of you.
But I can't help it, because you're always watching over me with a smile on your face.
I don't know how many times I've been saved by your smile, which I've held in my arms more often than usual.
Thank you, thank you.
Best friend.
Always, always, always. Best friend.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I'm Kaoka Michihiro of NMB48. Thank you for having me.
Pushing up the sky, I reach out my hand for you in May.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you a flower bud, a garden flower swimsuit.
Your cute, light-brown eyes.
I hope your endless dream will come to an end.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day bind me.
I hope your endless tears will come to an end.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kawakami Rena of NMB48.
I always wanted to be with you, laughing next to you.
Even though the seasons change again, my heart stays still.
I wanted to get used to your absence on the right side of me.
Why do I cry so much?
If my feelings won't come true anymore,
I just want the courage to forget you.
Even now, I still remember you.
Even the scenery is "so once again".
Ah, I woke up from a dream.
A black jacket and my back
I can't see anyone anymore, "so once again".
Like the stars returning to the forest,
they disappear naturally.
Even the smallest gestures,
I can only see you forever.
"so once again".
Thank you very much.
I'm NMV48 Shiro Mamiru. Nice to meet you.
We were always together, walking down the same path.
We part ways and walk our own separate paths.
Holding my heart overflowing with loneliness,
I look up at the sky that looks like it's about to cry.
Thinking of you, ah, ah, ahoy.
Even on nights without you,
that pitch blackness won't cry anymore.
"Because you're doing your best," I say. "Because you're getting stronger," I say.
You're looking at this tree too, aren't you?
That crescent moon.
"Because we're connected," I say. "Because I love you," I say.
I reach my hand out to the crescent moon.
My feelings reach you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Nmb48 Nishizawa Rurina. Nice to meet you.
The snow started to fall, erasing my footprints.
In this pure white world, I'm all alone.
The wind whispers in my heart,
that I can't go on like this.
I was confused and hurt. I couldn't tell anyone about it.
I was worried about it, but I shouldn't do it anymore.
I'll show you who I really am.
I'll become who I really am.
I'm not afraid of anything.
Blow the wind, it's not cold at all.
It's like a lie that I was worried about.
Because I'm free now, I can do anything.
I want to try myself and see how far I can go.
That's right, I'm going to change.
As it is, I'll ride the wind to the sky.
As it is, I'll try to fly away.
I will never shed tears again.
It's not cold at all.
I'm Yui and I'm Suzu Yamada. Thank you.
Thank you for choosing me like this on this journey
Before you use me, please read this instruction manual carefully
Treat me with fun and kindness, okay?
I won't accept changes or exchanges for bad things
Please understand
Sometimes you suddenly lose your temper
Even if I ask you why, you don't answer and get angry
I'm sorry all the time, but in that case
Let's go out somewhere
If you praise me regularly, I'll last a long time
If you say my nails are pretty, let me notice even small changes
Please keep an eye on me
But you don't have to notice anything unnecessary like my bed
If we look into each other's eyes when we get a little older
Please remember the day we first met
Please continue to take care of me
I'm like this, but please smile and forgive me
Please treasure me forever
Because I'm a guarantee of eternity
I'm NMB48's Akashi Natsuko. Thank you for having me!
How are you?
Did you meet someone important?
Will your dream come true someday?
At the end of this road
Do you remember?
The dream of the swaying leaves
I kept searching for the sky that continues along the horizon
While struggling to draw tomorrow
Now into my dream
The shapeless radiance
Gently, gently
Embracing it
Moving forward
I'm Shimizurika, from NMB48. Thank you for having me!
Hikaru ase T-shirt Deatta koi
Dareyorimo kagayaku kimi wo mite
Hajimete no kimochi wo mitsuketa yo
Arata na tabi ga hajimaru
Ameyakari kimagure aoi kaze
Tsuyoi hizashi itsuka oikoshite
Korekara egaiteku koi no iro
Hajimari no peji inrodoru yo
Uranai sagashi futatsu no hoshi ni
Futari no mirai wo kasanete miru no
My heart is full of scabs that I can't remove
Your kindness fills me up
Before I knew it, my dark heart was filled.
A casual gesture at a random moment
Someday, I'll always see your face as you talk about your dreams.
I want to stare at you, I want to smile at you
Words transcend the present and pierce eternity.
The place we arrived at after passing through many seasons
Let's cultivate the love we swore after a journey that was too long
Thank you very much!
I'm Nmb48's Kao Nanaho. Nice to meet you!
Your story, which is about to begin, will go on for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
Behind your dazzling smile, I hear a sad sound.
We were together, and now we're apart. I love you so much.
If we hold hands, we'll be warm. If we hate each other, we'll be alone.
Each and every one of them will be your path, and it will go on.
Your story, which is about to begin, will go on for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
Thank you very much!
I'm NMB48 Sakamoto Nami. Nice to meet you!
I'm sorry for hitting you
I couldn't help it because you were so dear to me
Hey, I'm sorry for crying
I wanted to see your troubled face
And then, your back was far away
At last, I realized that I was a fool
Even if time stops and I waver, I can still walk
On my own path
Even now, I still love you
I'm sorry for hitting you
I couldn't help it because you were so dear to me
I'll call out to you
I've never found it once or twice
Your poor smile
And your slightly elongated arms and legs
Thank you very much!
I'm NMB48 Sato Ami. Nice to meet you!
Thank you for watching.
I pretended to be kind and smiled.
Meeting and parting make me busy.
I'm going to shoulder my burden.
I know I'm not good enough.
I know it's a waste.
I can't be strong enough.
I just closed my eyes and endured.
Look, I can see you.
I want to go back to the city you're waiting for.
If you wave goodbye to me,
I'll look back at you again and again.
There's something I want you to listen to while you wait for me at home.
I'd be happy if you could smile for me.
Thank you for listening!
I'm Yamasaki Amir of NMB48. Thank you for listening!
These feelings I've gathered up until the last second
The days that have piled up
Won't betray you
The dazzling sunlight
Will turn into a sunset
Illuminating a youthful time that will never come again
Illuminating
Chasing a dream straight ahead
I love your eyes
Being with you like that
I want to cherish it now
Tears and smiles
Are proof of how reckless I've become
Being with you like that
I'm proud of it
I'll always be proud of you
Thank you very much!
I'm NMB48 Ogawa Yuka.
Thank you for having me.
I'm NMB48 Ogawa Yuka.
Thank you for having me.
I'm NMB48 Ogawa Yuka.
Thank you for having me.
It started with "good morning" from you.
It's a casual summer morning, but it's also happy.
I get burned by your casual words in a casual conversation.
I'm the only one who knows that rain club activities are boring and studying for tests is dangerous.
Before I go to bed, a long phone call that continues without meaning always doesn't end.
So, one, two, three...
Since when has my time with you grown?
Hey, my feelings are always like that.
Because I keep thinking about you all the time.
What should I do from now on?
That's what I'm thinking.
What about you?
I want you to tell me.
To you, who I cherish so much.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kobayashi Rina of NMB48. Nice to meet you.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, I won't forget your big hope
I believe we'll meet again in August ten years from now
The best memories
The moment we met, at the intersection on the way home, you called out to me, "Let's go home together."
I was embarrassed and hid my face in my bag, but I was actually very, very happy.
Ah, the fireworks bloom beautifully in the night sky and it's a little sad.
Ah, the wind flows with time.
We were happy and had fun, and we did a lot of adventures in our secret base.
Ah, you and the end of summer, dreams of the future, I won't forget your big hope.
I believe we'll meet again in August ten years from now.
I knew you were shouting "thank you" from the bottom of your heart until the end.
It's sad to say goodbye with tears in your eyes and a smile, isn't it?
Best memories
Thank you very much.
I'm Shobu Marin of NMB48. Thank you for having me.
Children head for the sky, spreading both hands, trying to catch birds, clouds, and even dreams.
That figure is me, who doesn't know anything about yesterday.
I believed my fingers would reach you.
The sky and the earth touch each other.
The road that calls travelers from the past.
I'm just a passerby for you.
I just turned around and looked at you for a moment.
All I have left is sadness in my eyes.
I'm MOMOKA HORINOCHI of NMB48. Thank you for having me.
Do you remember the first day we met?
Don't forget the memories of the passing day
I wanted to feel everything you looked at
I looked up at the sky, are you watching me now?
Tell me now
I want to see you now
There are many things I want to tell you
I want to see you, I want to see you
When I realize it, I'm looking for traces of you and I'm sad
Where are you? Hold me tight
I will be here forever
Thank you very much!
*clap clap clap clap*
And with that, the first round of singing ability No. 1 final round of the AKB48 group singing ability No. 1 final round of the first NMB48 group,
20 members have finished their singing assessment.
So first of all, Aoki-san, how was it?
Wow, it was really high level and it was amazing.
I was a little moved and cried.
It was very heartwarming.
I felt like my sayanism was rising up in places like this.
Also, even on Twitter, there were a lot of voices saying that it was quite fresh.
Also, the costumes.
I often see people singing in NMB costumes.
Everyone was singing in their own clothes according to the song.
The feeling is completely different from usual.
For example, Siwon-chan, she's usually a very fun person, but she sang very softly.
That's right.
It was very fun to see that gap.
Kumi Koda-san as well.
So, first of all, 20 members have finished their singing assessment.
How was it for you all, Yoshimasa-san?
Wow, it was so close that it made me cry.
Also, depending on the order of singing, how was the person in front of you?
That's how much your impression changes, right?
I wish there was a little more difference between you and the person in front of you.
Well, it's difficult.
Anyway, we did it in teams like this.
But what I think is that there are people who have good voices as solo singers.
But when you're in a group like this and you're all singing together, you might get buried.
When I hear that from people like that, it's a little husky and low-pitched.
It feels like a person who might have been buried in a group has come back to life now.
That's right.
You're telling us you want us to be graduates.
No, we're not announcing how many people we want.
Are you trying to make me graduate?
No, but I found someone who's good as a solo singer.
Oh, is that okay?
Is that okay?
No, there are people who are good as solo singers.
But I think Shiroma-san is good as a solo singer.
But he has a voice that can be heard in a group.
Akashi-san.
Akashi-san, you said you wanted us to be graduates.
Let's go to the scouts right away.
No, you can't.
You can't say that.
We're graduates.
That's right.
Well, how was it, Somer-san?
That's right.
Well, it's the same with Kinstar.
Each one has its own advantages and disadvantages.
For example, he has a good pitch.
He has a good voice with a microphone.
I don't know what it is, but it's convincing.
The timing of the breath is exquisite.
Each one has its own advantages and disadvantages.
So I couldn't judge them in the same order.
That's true.
While judging, I was wiping my mouth and my voice wasn't in it.
That's what Yoshimatsu-san said all the time.
I'm serious about it.
The only thing I said when I was judging was that it's difficult to make it into numbers.
It's difficult to say how many points there are and how good it is.
It's difficult.
That's right.
How about you, Sato-san?
Oh, that's right.
Soma-san, were there any members you were interested in?
Members I was interested in?
Yes.
Well...
I don't think it's personal at all.
Do you have your own preferences?
He took it away from me.
Oh, you didn't take it away from me!
Judges! Judges!
Every time five people are done, they take their points away from you.
That's right.
But there are rules, too.
Well...
I'll say it again and again.
I'll remember it.
Who was it?
He said "oh!"
Sato-san.
That's right.
As you two said, it depends on which criteria you judge.
Even if you don't sing the pitch properly,
you can still convey the song well.
I think it's very difficult for judges.
And I think it's difficult because most of the songs are original songs.
I'm sure it's difficult to set the key.
It's like singing with that key.
I think it's a shame that the key of the song wasn't high enough.
The song doesn't match with the person.
That's right.
I can feel that a little bit.
By the way, were there any members you were interested in?
Well...
I was interested in Yamao Rina-san and her worldview.
Her voice, too.
It was quite interesting.
I think it was good.
Thank you very much.
Now, the judging of "nmb" is over.
I'm sure the members are also interested in the judging pattern of "nmb".
For such members, please tweet "#akb48 singer power no.1 final match"
for the live broadcast and live broadcast.
While watching the broadcast...
That's right.
Even if you can't watch the program, you can check it on Twitter.
That's right. There may be such members.
I'm sure there are some members who are checking it on Twitter.
The members are also looking at this hashtag.
Some people have a fine score.
It's already 83 points and 78 points.
It's amazing.
Please do it as you like.
Now, let's move on to the next preliminary judging.
The next preliminary judging is "stu48".
Here you go.
I'm Mitsuki Imamura of stu48. Nice to meet you.
We started passing each other.
I had more and more things I wanted to say at the end,
but I couldn't say anything because I was about to cry.
I'm glad I fell in love. That's what I thought for the first time.
The dream I had that day is now disappearing in the rain.
I'm glad I fell in love.
Even if you're sad, don't stumble and walk.
I want to believe it.
I'm glad I fell in love.
Even if I encounter loneliness,
Because each and every memory is alive.
Thank you very much.
Estee Lauderdale's "Autumn, Marina." Thank you for listening.
We've always been together, walking down the same path together
We part ways and walk our own separate paths
Holding my heart full of loneliness
Looking up at the sky that makes me want to cry
I thought of you
Even on nights without you
That's why I don't cry anymore
Because you're doing your best
Because you're getting stronger
You've seen it too, haven't you?
This strange crescent moon
Because we're connected, right?
Because I love you, right?
I reached out for the crescent moon
To you, my child
Thank you very much.
I'm Kada Akimura of stu48.
Thank you for having me.
Kada Akimura as Aki.
In a spring-colored train,
You took me to the sea.
In a cigarette-smelling shirt,
I gently embraced you.
We met and knew each other,
Even after half a year, you still won't hold my hand.
I will follow you.
I want to follow you.
I will follow you.
I'm a little weak-willed, but I'm a wonderful person.
A red sweet pea bloomed in my heart's crevice.
I love you more than anyone I've met until today.
I will follow you.
I love the way you live.
I can't go home like this.
The heart that spring has come to is a red sweet pea.
Thank you very much!
I'm Sana Haruka of st.48. Nice to meet you!
Thank you for watching.
We closed the door of our rooms
and said goodbye to our memories.
Since then, half a year has passed and I can finally smile.
I'm busy every day.
I'm walking my own new life.
I want to see you, I want to see you.
I can't sleep at night because of your warmth.
Thinking of your warmth, I gently close my eyes.
Thank you very much.
I'm STU48's Shintai Nonoka.
Thank you for having me.
Shirazu shirazu aruitekita
Hosoku nagai kono michi
Furikaereba haruka tooku
Furusato ga mieru

Ah, like the flow of a river
slowly
Many times have passed
Oh
like
The sky is dyed in twilight
Thank you very much.
I'm Sugahara Saki of stu48. Nice to meet you.
Pushing up the sky, you reach out your hand towards May.
I want you to come, I want you to come all the way to the water's edge.
I'll give you a flower bud, a garden flower swimsuit.
Your cute light velvet dress.
I hope your endless dreams will come true.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day bind me and my endless waves will stop.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm Mahina Taniguchi of Estee Fatide. Nice to meet you.
On my way home, my breath is getting colder
Only the stars are swaying
I'm about to forget
Even the faint warmth I just felt
I realized for the first time
That I could love someone
I was the one who cried
The winter constellations that were connected
I was watching them
So they wouldn't disappear from the sky
I believe
Thank you very much!
I'm Yuri Torobu from stu48. Nice to meet you!
The hill road continues in the dry sky.
My back becomes smaller.
I can't find gentle words.
I kept waving my cold hand.
Someday we will all set off.
Walking our own paths.
Don't give up on your dream.
I like your passionate eyes.
Don't lose and don't regret.
Shine like you do.
Don't give up on your dream.
I believe you are far away.
Thank you very much!
I'm Fujiwara Azusa of stu48. Thank you for having me!
When you're sad, you open the cover of the river.
The person in the graduation photo has kind eyes.
When I saw you in the city, you didn't say anything.
Because the face of the graduation photo remained the same,
I was washed away by the crowd and changed.
Sometimes you scolded me from a distance.
Don't forget how you lived in those days.
You are my youth itself.
Thank you very much!
I'm Haruka Nishimura of stu48. Nice to meet you!
The faint cosmos is wet by the casual sunset on an autumn day.
My mother, whose tears have become fragile lately, takes a seat in front of the garden.
Opening an album in Engawa, I repeat the same story over and over again of my childhood memories.
With a small voice like I'm talking to myself,
on a peaceful day like this on an autumn day like this,
your kindness permeates me.
Even if I have a hard time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow,
time will change into a laughing story.
"Don't worry about it," I laughed.
Thank you very much.
I'm ST48's Arisa Mineoshi.
Thank you for having me.
See you later!
When the chime rings, I can hear the sound of my footsteps.
This is the morning signal that you came.
Hey, you're always dancing in class, aren't you?
I love that look of yours.
The words I want to say are increasing.
As I thought, you're special.
My feelings are getting bigger and bigger.
Ah, I feel like I'm going to be crushed.
I can't get anything.
My head won't disappear.
I want to see you, but I can't.
My heart beats non-stop.
Even if I hold back my frustrated feelings,
I still want to see you.
In the end, I got lost and came home alone.
I stumbled and got stuck.
Even now, I can't stop.
Hey, listen. I like you.
I love you.
Give me a hug.
Thank you very much.
I'm STU14-8's Morishita Maiha.
Thank you for having me.
In the dazzling morning, you smile and open the window.
Tell me about the beginning of the future I'm lost in.
I'll go out to the usual city again.
The weak days we've spent together have piled up.
I'm collecting the spilled light carefully and shining now.
Since when did your dream change into our dream?
Today is also one of our precious memories.
I hope the blue sky and the crying sky will be sunny.
I want to tell you "thank you".
I'm looking at you, but...
My right hand is connected.
I'm telling you my straight feelings awkwardly.
Forever and only forever.
Because I want to laugh with you.
So that we can make sure of the path we believe in,
Let's walk slowly now.
Thank you very much!
I'm Yano Honoka of s.t. Quartet. Nice to meet you!
Hey, do you remember the words you gave me?
They shine in my heart.
If you weren't there at that time,
I might not be here now.
What's wrong? You don't look like yourself.
Why do you look so gloomy?
It's no use being alone.
Didn't we say we weren't afraid of each other?
Hey you, hey you, don't cry, okay?
Try to remember me.
I'm clumsy, but now
I want to accept everything.
That's why I'm here.
No matter what happens, even if I stumble, even if I get lost.
No matter how dark it is, you're right next to me.
That's why I'm next to you.
I'm Yazushita Fu from stu48.
Thank you for having me.
If only one wish could come true for you
What do you wish for now, please let me know.
Even if you can't call this love eternal,
Just for now, let me lie and make you believe with my simple words,
When the song of love echoes, light will shine on the gray night sky.
Let's connect the lights one by one and send them to you far away,
I looked up at the sky, feeling like things would go back to normal tomorrow.
Without saying goodbye, I fall into my dreams again tonight.
I'm Yuka Oki, a senior researcher at STU48 TRAFT. Nice to meet you.
It started with "good morning" from you
It's a casual summer morning, but it's still
"happiness" is nothing
In the conversation, I get burned by your words
It's boring on rainy days
Studying for tests is bad
I'm the only one who knows
Before I go to sleep, it continues without meaning
I can't always hang up on a long call
That's why I put my hands together
Since when has my time with you grown?
Hey, my feelings are always swaying like that
Because I keep thinking about you
I'm thinking about what I should do from now on
But you don't answer me
I want you to tell me
About your precious self
STU48. I'm Shinano Soraha. Thank you for having me.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, big hope, I won't forget.
I believe we will meet again in August ten years later.
The best memories.
We met in a sudden moment at the intersection on the way home.
You said you love me. Let's go home together.
I was hiding my face in my bag and I was embarrassed.
Actually, I was very, very happy.
Ah, the fireworks bloom beautifully in the night sky and it's a little sad.
Ah, the wind flows with time.
I was happy and had fun. We did a lot of adventures.
In our secret base.
You and the end of summer, dreams of the future, and a big hope.
I won't forget. I believe we'll meet again in August ten years from now.
I knew you were shouting "thank you" from the bottom of your heart until the end.
Hold back your tears and say goodbye with a smile. It's sad, isn't it?
Best memories.
Thank you very much.
I am Akari Yura, STU48 Draft III Research Student. Nice to meet you.
In the classroom where you can see the building,
you two lined up at your desks
and spent the same days of the month.
A little English and basketball,
and I fell in love with you.
Even after graduation, you treated me like a child.
"Don't go too far," you said.
Half of you smiled and half of you hugged me with a straight face.
On a winter night when the clouds were low,
you died like a dream.
"Let's go to the beach again this year," you said.
"Let's watch a lot of movies," you said.
You promised me, didn't you?
I want to see you.
Thank you very much.
(applause)
And with that, AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Qualifier Day 1,
the singing screening of 17 STU members has ended.
First of all, I'm sorry for causing some confusion in the first half.
And with that, 17 members have finished screening.
Wow, STU members are on another level.
Starting with Imamura-san in the beginning,
and then Mineoshi-san is also impressive.
When I was auditioning for the first generation of STU members,
there were a lot of good singers since the audition.
You were auditioning for the first generation of STU?
Yes, I was.
And I felt like they were a good singing team.
But once again, I thought they were amazing.
Their facial expressions were great, too.
And they had their own personalities and different types of singers.
And with that, let's hear what the judges have to say, Yoshida-san.
It's me, isn't it?
Well, Imamura-san, you're a member of the Japanese band, Aranami.
Seto Inchi is not a member of the Japanese band.
Above all, Taniguchi-san.
I want him to sing a rock song.
Is there such a tweet?
There are quite a lot of ballads,
but there was someone who wanted him to sing a fast song.
Yuri Toro.
That was good.
And even if you're young...
Mine...
Mine Yoshi.
It doesn't matter if you're young or old.
It's wrong to sing a good song when you're an adult.
It's like an expression of your age.
That's right. It's a book that conveys your pure feelings.
It's a book that conveys your pure feelings.
Sofa-san, what did you think of it?
There are a lot of different personalities in it.
It doesn't fit in one book.
But like everyone said,
Mine...
Mine Yoshi-san.
Mine Yoshi-san is...
I don't have a good lolita voice,
so he called me that.
It was unexpected.
But it didn't matter.
How about you, Zazatoz?
Well...
Everyone has such a high level.
It's hard for me to rate you all.
For me...
Well...
Ootani-san and Kado Aki-san's voices were very stable.
Kado Aki-san.
Oh, Kado Aki-san. Red water and soil bird.
Yes.
But I couldn't sing his last part.
It was too good for you.
That's right.
Anyway...
Aoki-san, is there anyone you're interested in?
Well...
From the beginning, Ootani-san and Kado Aki-san's voices were on another level.
I feel bad for Shintani Nonoka-chan.
Shintani Nonoka-chan, too.
Her song selection was good, too.
That's right.
It was great.
She was off-key at first.
But she got it back.
She said the same thing in this book, too.
I was surprised.
I thought she couldn't get off-key, but she did.
Shintani Nonoka-chan and Kado Aki-san's voices were on another level.
Their song selection was good, too.
Both of them were cute.
By the way, #akb48songpowerno.1 song selection was trending.
What place did it get?
It was pretty high.
It was high, wasn't it?
I looked it up earlier and it said it was a good match.
I've been watching "Daikoi Magnum" too.
It's 11th place now.
11th?
Wow, that's great.
11th place all over the country.
I'd like you all to talk about it more and more.
Now, about half of the first day of qualifying is over.
I'd like to announce the middle of the day.
We'll announce the top 20 out of #akb48 and #st48.
The top 20 out of the top 17 are here.
Who are the top 20 out of #akb48 and #st48?
We'll announce it now, so please watch this announcement.
Thank you for waiting.
We will now announce the top 20 members of the AKB48 Group Singers' No. 1 Decision Match Preliminary 1st Day semi-final block NMB48 and STU48.
Now, Aoki-san...
It's a cruel story, but it's almost over.
About half of it...
- Thank you for waiting. - It's quite...
- It's difficult, isn't it? - It's very unique.
- Of course... - That's right.
It depends on what you like about it.
Now, I'd like to announce the top 20 members of the AKB48 Group Singers' No. 1 Decision Match Preliminary 1st Day semi-final block NMB48 and STU48.
There are quite a lot of people who like both of them.
- That's interesting, isn't it? - Yes, it is.
There are people who like both of them for the first time.
- That's right. - I'm really curious about Shintani Nonoka-chan.
- I'm curious about her. - You are, aren't you?
There are a lot of things that I'm curious about.
The hashtag was also very popular.
But we don't know the scores yet.
That's right.
If we just show you the scores...
It's pretty close.
The three of you don't know each other's scores, right?
Yes.
Well, I'd like to announce it now.
Is it okay? I'm a little nervous right now.
The ratings...
Yes.
It seems like it's going up a lot with the trend.
Really?
Let's take a look at it.
Big love and the trend...
Big love...
One hour...
We have four hours.
Four hours...
At all...
Even if it's been a while, it's been three hours since it started.
It's getting pretty excited.
The hashtags have various impressions.
The impression of the program itself.
Oh, it's here.
It's here.
It's handwritten.
Let's see...
Oh, I see.
What does this mean?
Yes.
Yes, that's what it means.
Yes.
With that said...
I'd like to announce it from 20th place.
First...
20th place.
First of all...
This is...
Huh? It's different.
It's different from the beginning.
Let's see.
First of all, 20th place.
nmv48
Suzuki Yamada.
"Nmv48" Sakamoto Nami.
"Nmv48" STU48 Yabushita Fu.
"Nmv48" Horision.
"Nmv48" Kato Yuka.
"Nmv48" Sugahara Saki.
"Nmv48" Shimizu Rika.
"Nmv48" Horinouchi Momoka.
"Nmv48" STU48 Morishita Maiha.
"Nmv48" Shobu Marin.
"Nmv48" STU48 Torobu Yuri.
And we have the same ranking again.
The 10th place is the same, so that's it for now.
From 12th to 20th.
12th to 20th.
Yes.
The 10th place is the same again.
It's pretty even.
You're all writing down how fast you are, so it's harder than you think.
I'm writing it down.
Oh, here it is.
This is the ranking.
There are quite a few Nmv students in it.
Is it 11th?
Oh, it says 11th.
The 11th STU48 is Mahina Taniguchi.
Oh, that's right.
The 10th place is the same, so it's two people.
Oh, I see.
So in reality, Mahina Taniguchi is in the 10th place.
Yes, the 10th place is the same, but one of them is Mahina Taniguchi.
The 10th place is Thailand.
I think there are a lot of the same places.
Yes, there are a lot of the same places.
There are hundreds of places, but there are a lot of the same places.
No, it's our fault.
No, it's not our fault.
If it was 10 points apart, we would know.
I see.
Now, let's move on.
I would like to announce from 10th to 1st place.
First of all, 10th place.
STU48, Mahina Otani.
8th place. Again, it's a tie.
1st place, NMB48, Yama Orina.
8th place, STU48, Mineyoshi Arisa.
7th place, STU48, Imamura Mitsuki.
6th place, NMB48, Shiroma Mil.
4th place, again it's a tie.
1st place, NMB48, Akashi Natsuko.
4th place, STU48, Akari Yura.
3rd place, STU48, Miuna Kadowaki.
2nd place, NMB48, Yamazaki Amir.
1st place, STU48, Yano Honoka.
Yano's high score is...
As a result, let's start with Sato.
How do you feel about this result?
Well...
Who has the best impression?
I can't say the score, but...
Actually, I made Yano score the highest.
- Yes. - I see.
- But you're okay with it? - Yes, I'm okay with it.
- That's what I think. - Yes.
Anyway, STU48 is in 1st place.
How about you, Mr. Hosogawa?
Well, Yano...
I felt like he was a little ahead of his time.
And...
I'm happy that Mr. Mineoshi is in 1st place.
- I'm happy about it. - You're a person.
- Thank you. - You're a person.
- That's not okay. - You're okay with it? - No, no.
- You don't like it? - No, no.
Judges, you have your own personality.
And Mr. Yoshimatsu.
Every time we announced it, we said, "Wow!"
- But we made it happen. - Yes.
- It's a one-third of the score. - Yes.
I don't know who we gave the score to.
But when I look at it again,
I'm satisfied with it.
We say it's cruel to announce it here.
But there are other popular songs besides singing songs.
And there are times when this song is not well received.
But I hope we can use this opportunity to show our sincerity.
In that sense, including researchers is a very good project.
- That's right. - Yes.
- Looking at the results... - Yes.
So, for now, we have the best 10 songs in the weekly announcement.
Let's see how the results will turn out.
This is the second half of the show.
For more live broadcasts, comments, live streams,
#akb48 Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Line, please tweet us.
Now, shall we begin?
This is the second half of the first day of qualifying.
Next up is the new song of NGT48.
Here you go.
I'm Yuka Ogi of NGT48. Nice to meet you.
As I wait for the train, next to you, I look at the clock
It's snowing outside of season
"This is the last snow we'll see in Tokyo," you whisper, as if you're lonely
As I wait for the train, next to you, I look at the clock
It's snowing outside of season
"This is the last snow we'll see in Tokyo," you whisper, as if you're lonely
As you left, I stayed on the platform
As you fell, I watched the snow melt
Now, spring has come and you've become more beautiful
You've become more beautiful than you were last year
I'm Sato Anjou of ngt48. Thank you for having me.
You whispered to me.
I can still do it.
Because you are always shining.
Sometimes I'm in a hurry and lose myself.
I can't help it.
Because you are always watching over me with a smile.
I'm sure I've been saved many times by your smile that I always held in my arms.
Thank you. Thank you.
Best friend.
Always, always, always. Best friend.
Thank you very much.
I'm Seiji Reina of ngt48. Nice to meet you.
I always wanted to be with you, I always wanted to smile by your side
Even though the seasons are changing again, my heart is still waiting for you
I always wanted to get used to your right side
But why do I cry so much?
If my feelings don't work anymore, I'll forget you
I want you
Even now, I remember
Your words, even the scenery I saw over my shoulder
Even so, I sang
Ah, I woke up from a dream
A black jacket and my back
I can't see anyone anymore, so once again
Like the stars returning to the forest
Even small gestures that disappear naturally
I can only see you forever
Thank you very much.
Hi, I'm Manio Nishigata of NGT48.
Thank you for watching.
We closed the door of our room and said goodbye to our memories.
Since then, half a year has passed and I can finally smile.
I'm busy every day. I'm walking my own new life.
I miss you so much that I can't sleep at night.
I remember your warmth and close my eyes.
I'm Noe Yamada of ngt48. Thank you for having me.
We don't know why we come across each other
We don't know when we come across each other
Where have you been? Have you been alive?
Under the distant sky, there are two stories
You are the vertical thread and I am the horizontal thread
Maybe one day I will warm you up
You are the vertical thread and I am the horizontal thread
People call meeting the right person "happiness"
I'm Ogimatsu from ngt48. Nice to meet you.
Get on the spring-colored train and take me to the sea.
I wonder if I can gently hold you in my cigarette- smelling shirt.
Why haven't I held your hand for six months since the day we met?
I will follow you. I want to follow you.
I will follow you. I may be a little weak- spirited, but I think you're a wonderful person.
I love you, my red sweet pea, more than anyone else I've met until today.
I will follow you. I like the way you live.
I can't go home like this. I can't go home.
The day spring came to my heart was a red sweet pea.
I'm Sugahara Riko of NGT 14/8. Thank you for having me!
These feelings I gathered up until the last second...
Every day that has piled up will not betray you...
The dazzling sunshine turns into a sunset... The dazzling sunshine turns into a sunset...
It illuminates the times of youth that will never come again...
It illuminates... It illuminates...
Well, I love the way your eyes chase my dreams right away... I love it when I chase my dreams right away...
I want to cherish being with you now... I want to cherish being with you now...
My tears and my smile are proof of how reckless I have become...
I am proud of living with you...
I am always proud of you...
Thank you very much!
I'm Yuka Nakamura of NGT48. Nice to meet you!
I now look up at one of the southern stars and vow
No matter what happens, I'll walk forward with a smile on my face
When I think of you, I just feel sad and shed tears
Wishes for the stars, prayers for the moon
I've lived only for the sake of offering
But now, my love for you is my pride
I now...
I smile and cry, only for my love for you.
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Takahashi Nanami. Nice to meet you!
♪ From the first night train in Ueno to Aomori ♪
The crowd of people returning to the north is silent and only listening to the sound of the sea ♪
I'm alone, too, getting on the contact line ♪
Only the sound of the wind shakes my chest ♪
Ah, dual background, winter scenery ♪
Goodbye, my love. I'm going home.
The sound of the wind only shakes my heart.
Oh, dual background, winter scenery ♪
Thank you.
In the dazzling morning, you smile and open the window.
Tell me how the future I'm lost in has begun.
I'll go out to the usual city again.
The two of us have been building up our days.
I'm collecting the spilled light carefully and it's shining now.
I don't know when your dream became our dream.
Today is also one of our precious memories.
I hope the blue sky and the crying sky will be sunny.
I want to say "thank you" when I look at you.
But my right hand, which is connected to yours, is telling you more kindly and awkwardly than anyone else.
Forever and only forever, I want to laugh with you.
Let's walk slowly now, as if we're confirming this path we believed in.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kawagoe Saya from ngt48. Nice to meet you.
Pushing up the sky, I reach out my hand for you in May.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you a bud, a garden flower swimsuit.
You're cute in light brown.
I hope your endless dream will come to an end.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day bind me and my endless tears will stop.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm hagi riruna of ngt48. Thank you for having me here today.
Only the number of tears can make you stronger.
Like a flower blooming on asphalt,
don't be afraid of everything you see.
Tomorrow will come for you.
I want to see you all of a sudden.
What happened in the late night?
Even if I make a joke in a hurry,
your smile is sad.
On the building, look, the moon rises.
Memories I'm holding tight and pride.
If you throw it away, will something good happen again?
Only the number of tears can make you stronger.
Like flowers blooming on asphalt.
Don't be afraid of everything in the clouds.
Tomorrow will come anytime.
Only the number of tears can make you stronger.
Like flowers swaying in the wind.
Believe in yourself as you are.
Tomorrow will come anytime.
Tomorrow will come for you.
I'm NGT48's Mashimo Kaho. Thank you for having me!
It's already my third spring since I graduated from high school.
I still have the same smile on my face.
I used to ride my bike all the way home.
Now I'm running while looking at the stars from the roof.
After I got out of the car and turned the corner,
you always gave me a brake lamp and a five- lighter.
No matter how many years have passed,
I'm sure I can spend it with you with the same feelings.
The prediction of the future I draw in my heart is...
As I thought it would be
It's coming true
Thank you very much!
I'm Hino Mimura of NGT48. Nice to meet you!
Where are you reading this letter from? What are you doing?
There is a seed of worry deep inside of me that no one can talk about.
If it's a letter for myself in the future, I'm sure I can open it honestly.
I'm about to lose, I'm about to cry, and I'm about to disappear.
Whose words should I believe and walk on?
My one and only heart has been broken many times.
I'm living in pain now, I'm living now.
Thank you very much!
I'm Milly Yamazaki of NGT48.
Because I can't be strong,
I just closed my eyes and endured.
Look, I can see it.
To the city you're waiting for
If you wave your hand big enough
I'll look back over and over again
So I want to go home
To the house you're waiting for
There's something I want you to hear
I'd be happy if you could smile
Thank you very much!
(applause)
Now, akb48 group singing power No. 1 final battle.
NGT48 members, 15 people have finished singing.
Now, how was it, Maku-san?
Just now, Juni came out and I felt nervous all of a sudden.
- The more I saw her, the more nervous I got. - That's true.
And for NGT48,
Sato Anju-san, who is known as NGT48's "singer princess", came out in second place.
- I thought she was really good. - "Singer princess"?
- Yes. - She was really good.
Also, the researchers were really confident.
- I thought she was good again. - Yes.
- I felt like 20 people wasn't enough. - (laughs)
- That's right. - Entering the top 20 is quite difficult.
- Yes. - I felt it desperately.
- That's right. - Now, how was it, judges?
- Mr. Zaishimasa. - Yes, yes.
How was it?
Well, based on the scores just now, I thought our responsibility was important.
But should we really make it to 30th place?
(laughs)
- No, there are a lot of people who want it. - There is no such thing.
- It comes out later and later. - There are a lot of people who want it in the final.
That's right.
I'm starting to regret how many average points I should give for the first score.
(laughs)
- The criteria... - The criteria were difficult in the beginning.
- Yes, I feel like it's coming out a little more than 100 points. - No, it's not good.
- Yes, it's not good. - Please give it full marks.
- I understand. - Yes, how about you, Mr. Soma?
No, it's exactly the same.
You don't know the score criteria in the beginning, do you?
After this, you don't know what kind of good girls will come out, and you start from a place where you don't know.
It's not enough, isn't it?
- Yes, it's not enough. - It's not enough, is it?
I'll tell you.
(laughs)
- That's no good. - That's no good.
Everyone wants it, so you can't give it to everyone.
- I see. - I see.
- It's the same thing. - I see.
- That's no good. - Yes.
- How about you, Mr. Sato? - No, it's difficult.
It's getting more and more difficult.
I want to hear more about which girls will come out, and how they will sing other songs.
Well, it's difficult for me to decide here.
By the way, did you say any of the members you were interested in among the NGT members?
Well, of course, all of them are well known for their singing skills.
Well, I'd say Rikko Sugahara.
- Sugahara. - Sugahara.
She has a world view of singing, and her singing style is very visible and transmitted.
- Yes, she has a world view of singing. - What about Oguma-san?
- Oguma-san. - Yes, Oguma-san.
- This is where I'm at a loss. - Yes, it is.
- Right? Her voice is amazing. - Yes, it is.
- If you compare it to a song, - Yes, it is.
- you might wonder how many notes she put in before. - Yes, you might.
- That might be the case. - Yes, it is.
- Some people just want to hear her voice. - Yes, that's right.
- I'm at a loss. - Yes, it is.
- Sometimes, you can't hear her voice. - Yes, it is.
Some people just want to hear her voice.
Maybe it's just for today.
Maybe it's just for today that she's failing.
- Well, for researchers, - Yes.
- the rehearsal went well, - Yes, it did.
- but sometimes, - Yes, it did.
- they get really nervous. - Yes, it did.
- That's also a part of it. - Yes, it is.
- So, for the next rehearsal, - Yes, it is.
- let's do it again. - Yes, it is.
- Well, it's a one-time match. - Yes, it is.
- It's a one-time match. - Yes, it is.
- It's Oguma-san's turn. - It's Oguma-san's turn.
- Yes, it is.
- The first day of qualifying is over. - Yes, it is.
- There's only one group left. - Yes, it is.
- The next group is... - Yes, it is.
- #akb48 Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round. - Yes, it is.
- Please tweet about it. - Yes, it is.
- But, Natsuko Akashi - Yes, it is.
- was in 4th place. - Yes, it is.
- "I'm frustrated". - Yes, it is.
- Yes, it is.
- If she had said "I'm frustrated" at this moment... - Yes, it is.
- she might have been frustrated. - Yes, it is.
Well, then...
Here we go. The first and second day of qualifying.
The last judge is...
hkt48.
Please be seated.
I'm akio shuka from hkt48. Thank you for having me.
Let's take a picture together
of this nostalgic scenery
I want you to show me
the same pose you did that day
Looking up at the blue sky
The clouds pass by
There are beautiful things far away
That's why they're beautiful
Just like I promised you
I'm so glad you came here
If these feelings I have for you
aren't love
Then I don't know what love is
So I'll put my love into this bouquet
It's an exaggeration, but please accept it
Don't ask me why, okay?
Just for now, forget everything
Don't laugh, just accept it
Don't be shy
I'm HKT48's Ueno Haruka. Thank you for having me.
These feelings I've gathered up until the last second
The days that have piled up
Won't betray you
The dazzling sun will turn into a sunset
Illuminating a youthful time that will never come again
Straight ahead, chasing my dream
I love your eyes
Being with you like that
I want to cherish it now
Tears and smiles
Are proof that I've become ambitious
Being with you like that
I'm proud of it
I'm proud of it forever
Thank you very much!
I'm Koujina Yui of HKT48. Nice to meet you!
I'm getting dizzy, I show my face and it disappears
A child's voice far, far away
I wonder if you're somewhere in this sky
At the end of summer, we ran away together
I found you in this park
I remember that constellation
Even if we can't meet, I want to follow my memories and see the same happiness
With that scent, fireworks pop up
I want to go to you
I want to run and go right now
It's pitch black and I can't see anything
Even if I'm scared, it's okay
The countless starry sky is still here
Don't cry, because it's a beautiful sky like the one I saw with you in the past
I'm HKT48's Riko Sakaguchi. Thank you for having me!
I wanted to fill in the hole in my heart, so I pretended to be kind and smiled
Encounters and goodbyes are busy, and I'm going to run over my shoulder
I know I'm not good enough, and I'm frustrated
I can't be strong enough, so I just closed my eyes and endured
Look, I can see it now
I want to go home to the city you live in
If you wave goodbye to me, I'll wave goodbye to you again and again
I want to go home to the city you live in
There's something I want you to listen to
I'd be happy if you could smile
Thank you very much.
I'm Tashima Meru of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
I push up my shoulder and reach out my hand for you in May.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you my body in a garden flower swimsuit.
Your cute light brown eyes.
I hope your endless dream will end properly.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my mountain will one day bind me.
I hope your endless dream will end properly.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much!
I'm HKT48's Tanaka Miku. Thank you for having me!
We were together all the time, walking down the same path
We part ways and walk our separate paths
Holding my heart overflowing with loneliness
Looking up at the sky that looks like it's about to start crying
I thought of you, even on nights without you
I won't cry anymore
It's because you're working hard, it's because you're getting stronger
I reached out to the crescent moon
My feelings reach you
Thank you very much.
I'm HKT48's Toyona Gaki. Nice to meet you.
As the snow melts and heads for the northern sky
As I shout out the dreams of the past
People who don't return
I have a hot heart
At least from today I will go on a journey alone
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There is someone waiting for me
On a good day I set out in search of a sunset
With my mother's back I heard a song along the way
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There is someone waiting for me
On a good day I set out in search of a sunset
I sang a song when I was a child
On my way to find happiness
Thank you very much.
I'm Nao Ueki from HKT48. Nice to meet you.
Look, look at where you stand
This is the path you will walk
Look, look ahead
That is your future
That is what your mother gave you
With a lot of kindness and love
I walked and repeated
At that time I was still young and didn't know what it meant
Holding my hands like that
We walked together
Sometimes I didn't like that kindness
I couldn't be honest with my separated mother
Look at your feet
This is the path you will walk
Look ahead
That is your future
Thank you very much.
I'm Kumada Serina from HKT48. Thank you for having me.
You look sad, your voice fades far, far away
You must be somewhere in this sky
At the end of summer, we escaped together
I somehow remember that constellation we found in this park
Even if we can't meet, I'll follow my memories
I want to see the same happiness
With that scent, fireworks pop
I want to go to you
I want to run to you right now
It's dark and I can't see anything
Even if I'm scared, it's okay
The countless starry sky is still here
Don't cry
Because it's a beautiful sky like the one we saw together long ago
Thank you very much!
I'm HKT48's Baba Saika. Thank you for having me!
It's snowing out of season
"This is the last snow I'll see in Tokyo," you mutter to yourself, looking lonely
Knowing the time when it'll snow in Nagoya
After seasons of playing around
Now, spring has come and you've become more beautiful
You've become more beautiful than you were last year
On the platform you left, I saw the snow melt as it fell
Now, spring has come and you've become more beautiful
You've become more beautiful than you were last year
H. K. T. Fortier and Fuchiga Imai. Thank you.
I wonder where you are reading this letter and what you are doing.
I'm 15 years old and I have a problem that I can't tell anyone about.
If it's a letter for myself in the future, I'm sure I can open it honestly.
I'm about to lose, I'm about to cry, and I'm about to disappear.
Whose words should I believe and walk on?
My one and only heart has been broken many times.
I'm living in pain now.
Thank you very much.
I'm HKT48's Genna Murashi. Nice to meet you.
"The room where there is a stain on the window..." "The room where there is a stain on the window..." "The room where there is a stain on the window..."
"I can always smell you..." "Itsumo anata no nioi ga suru wa..." "I can always smell you..."
"If I live alone, I'll remember..." "Hitori kuraseba omoidasu kara..."
"I'll leave the scratches on the wall intact..." "Kabe no kizu mo nokoshita mama oiteiku wa..."
"If we redeem our love, we will part..." "ai o tsuguraeba wakare ni naru kedo..."
"Don't forget this woman..." "Konna onna demo wasurenaide ne..."
"You were too kind..." "yasashisugita no anata..."
"You're like a child..." "kodomo mitai na anata..."
Tomorrow we will be strangers... Asu wa tanin doshi ni naru keredo... Tomorrow will be someone else's death...
If you make amends for love, you'll become a leader...
I'll try to live away from this city...
I drink alone... o-sakenou no mo hitori... I drink alone...
I dream alone... yume o miru no mo hitori... I dream alone...
Tomorrow we will be strangers... Asu wa tanin doshi ni naru keredo... Tomorrow will be someone else's death...
Thank you very much.
I'm H.K.T.48's Elena Sakamoto. Thank you for having me.
You said you wanted to live here.
The train shook me to this city.
You came to see me.
Even now, I can't forget those days and I'm still alive.
Even now, I pray for you at Yagumo Shrine.
If my wish could come true, I'd like to go back to those days.
The cityscape you said you liked will fade away today.
A wide sky and mountains in the distance.
The city we walked together.
The city where the sunset is beautiful.
I'm HKT48's Tomoka Takeda. Nice to meet you!
What do you wish for? Let me hear it
Even if you don't call this love "eternal"
Just for now, let me believe in your weak words of lies
When the song of love resounds, light will shine in the gray night sky
Let's connect the light one by one and deliver it to you in the distance
Tomorrow, I feel like I can go back to how I used to be and look up at the sky
Don't say goodbye
Tonight, I'm falling into a dream again
Thank you very much.
HKT48. I'm Tsukiya Shamane. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
Hey, do you remember the words you gave me?
They shine in my heart.
If you weren't there at that time,
I might not be here now.
What's wrong? You don't look like yourself.
You have a gloomy face.
You said you weren't afraid of anything
and that you couldn't do anything by yourself.
You don't cry, do you?
Try to remember.
I'm clumsy, but
I'm here now because I want to accept everything.
I will stay with you.
No matter what happens,
even if you stumble or get lost,
baby, no, I will stay with you.
No matter what darkness you're in,
I'll be right next to you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Hazuki Hakazono of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
Thank you very much.
I wonder how much I can tell you.
You always locked me up.
You erased the pain in my heart.
Now I can smile
Because you cried with me.
Because I'm not alone.
Because you protect me.
I can be strong.
I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
Time goes by.
It flows with pain.
The sun's light gently shines on me.
Because I'm not alone.
Because you protect me.
I can be strong.
I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
Time goes by.
It flows with pain.
The sun's light gently shines on me.
Thank you very much.
I'm HKT48's Vivian Murakawa. Nice to meet you.
When your day ends, I'll be by your side
Don't say anything, just give me a gentle kiss
If you call me, I'll run to you, I'll go to you right away
I'll throw everything away, I'll catch my breath, I'll cool my fingers
I'll go see you right away
Even if I'm not rewarded, even if we're not connected
You're my one and only destiny
When this day comes to an end, if you're by my side
I don't need a tomorrow
I'll stroke your hair, I'll hold your shoulders until you fall asleep
Thank you very much.
I'm H.K.T. Court's Yamaa Chiyuna. Nice to meet you.
Take me to the sea in your spring-colored train
Because I'll snuggle up to your cigarette-smelling shirt
Even if we've known each other for six months
I still can't hold your hand
I will follow you
I want to follow you
I will follow you
I'm a little weak-minded, but you're a wonderful person
I like your red, sweet kiss that bloomed in my heart
I will follow you more than anyone else I've met so far
I like the way you live
I can't go home like this
I can't go home
The day spring came into my heart was a red, sweet pea
Thank you very much!
And with that, the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Qualifier Day 1,
the last of the 18 members of HKT48 have finished their singing tests.
How was it for you, Aoki-san?
It was wonderful!
HKT48...
Well, we saw it on Eigo and Twitter as well, but Ebel...
Ebel and everyone else were amazing, but...
They had such a strong expression and were drawn into the world of each song.
It felt like I was listening to the ending of a drama.
I cried a lot.
Miku-chan and Luna-chan...
Eki and Nao-chan and everyone else were great, but...
And Edepion...
Oh, man...
I had a hangover.
I was really moved.
I had a hangover.
You had a hangover.
I'm glad you didn't.
I'm glad you didn't, but you were really good.
Okay, Shizenryo-san, what did you think of it, Yoshimasa-san?
No, no...
I got full points in a row.
In the end, I got two pluses and one minuses.
No, Hakata...
I was doing Yoshimasa Park.
Yes, yes.
And there was Rico P and Kojina-san in it.
Everyone is getting better and better.
Hakata-zei.
That's true.
There was Seiryo as well.
Okazono-san.
Okazono-san, yes.
Okay, I'm going to...
Okazono-san, it's your first month.
Is it?
Your first month.
It's your first month.
I really want you to graduate.
No, no, no.
I'm not letting you graduate.
That's what Yoshimasa-san is thinking of right now.
That's great.
You found something today.
I'll ask you about it later.
Yes.
Well...
If I knew about this in the beginning...
I feel sorry for you in the beginning.
That's right.
But in the second half,
especially for HKT members,
it's like they're singing in their own world.
It's completely different from the original singers.
The way they swing, sing, and sing.
They're trying to make their own stories.
I thought it was amazing that they sang like that.
Sado-san, what do you think?
That's right.
I think you're right.
It's really hard to give scores.
I got the impression that there are a lot of singers who sing in their own world.
Sato-san, are there any members you're interested in?
Well, of course, there are a few.
But I think Toyonaga-san's choice of song was good.
Toyonaga?
Yes.
No, no.
Yamaguchi is also good.
I'm glad you said that.
I could really feel the three-dimensionality of the sound.
It's a recording, but it's amazing.
I also like Sakamoto Elena-san very much.
How about you, Sagara-san?
Are there any members you're interested in?
Well, that's about it.
I don't know what I'm going to make up for at this age.
I thought it was amazing.
First of all, you're good at singing seriously.
Yoshiba-san, what do you think?
Yes.
Akiyoshi-san does a lot of covers on YouTube.
The song I wrote for HKT was an upper melody.
I think we could all do a ballad song.
You have a good vision, too.
Yes, I do.
A lot of people are like singer-songwriters.
So I don't think you'll need my song.
You have a song you can write by yourself, don't you?
You might need it.
That's what I thought.
Wow, that's amazing.
You have a great expression.
We'll give you a score.
No, we'll give you a score.
We'll give you a score.
It's like you're asking me for my original song.
I'm glad you're proud of it.
That's amazing.
It's getting worse and worse.
The top 20...
It's getting worse and worse.
That's a problem.
It's a problem, isn't it?
That's it for the first day of the qualifying round.
We'll announce the top 20 on the first day of the qualifying round later.
I was in 20th place earlier.
What's going to happen from there?
The results of the first day...
The top 20 will be decided.
Now, in the first day of the qualifying round...
Who was left in the top 20?
Please take a look at this announcement during the collection.
We'll be right back after the announcement!
Now, thank you for waiting!
AKB48 GROUP SINGING POWER NO. 1 DECISION ROUND!
In the first day of the qualifying round...
NMB48, STU48, NGT48, HKT48...
We'd like to announce the top 20.
Now...
How do you feel, Mr. Okada?
I'm nervous.
So, once again...
The top 20 will have a chance...
To advance to the final round.
In addition, tomorrow's qualifying round...
The top 20 and the top 15 will advance to the final round.
Other than that...
The judges will recommend about five people.
Now...
Who's in 10th place?
In 10th place...
I think it's something we're all curious about.
It's quite difficult.
Yes, it is.
The last one, HKT48, was also great.
It was great.
Now...
We'll announce the top 20.
First of all...
In 19th place...
We have two people.
First of all...
NGT48...
Riko Sugahara.
And one more person...
H.K.T.48 Anna Murashige.
Let's move on.
17th place.
H.K.T.48 Mel Tashima.
17th place, H.K.T.48 Nao Ueki.
Let's move on.
15th place.
15th place, N.M.B.48 Shiroma Mirsa.
And one more person... H.K.T.48 Kumazawa Serina.
14th place...
H.K.T.48 N.G.T.48 Yamada Noe.
Let's move on.
12th place.
12th place, N.M.B.48 Akashi Natsuko.
And one more person...
13th place, S.T.U.48 Yura Akari.
And 11th place, H.K.T.48 Tsukiyoshi Amane.
From 11th to 19th place, we have 10 candidates who will be announced first of all.
Judges, what do you think?
What's going on with your Twitter and your voice telling judges to stop?
I wanted to go home before the results came out.
- Yes. - Finally.
- Please look at the results. - Is it okay for me to wait?
- H.K.T.? - Yes.
- H.K.T.? - From 11th to 20th place, we have 10 candidates who will be announced first of all.
- H.K.T. has a different passion. - I see.
- It's hard and strong. - That's right.
Well, we also do that kind of work, but we are weak against artistic smells.
Of course, at work, I want people to sing songs I wrote honestly.
But if you want to be No. 1 singer, you need to have your own personality.
I want people who can sing in their own way to become No. 1 singers.
There are many people with unique personalities. Mr. Soga, what do you think?
Well, I don't know about personality, but it's amazing what comes out of you.
I wonder why people in Kyushu are so good at singing.
Not only idol singers, but also rock stars...
- Checkers? - Checkers.
- That's right.
- Also, Ms. Matsuda Seiko. - Yes, Ms. Matsuda Seiko.
- She's like a queen. - Yes.
She's very focused.
I've been a judge in a contest before, but she's more focused in the south.
- Including Okinawa. - No, Japan was also good.
- Japan was also good. - No, no, no.
- Mr. Sato, what do you think? - Well...
If I could say it again, I'd like to hear it in a different version of the song.
- There are many people like that. - Yes, there are.
Of course, I'm a judge, so I have to give points.
But I wonder what it would be like if I sang this song in a ballad.
- I really wonder if it would work out. - That's right.
It's nostalgic.
- Is there anyone who was impressive in this song? - Well, I'd say...
- Ms. Sono. - Ms. Hoka Sono.
- Ms. Hoka Sono.
- But you know... - Here, here.
- It's red. - It's from 11th place.
- Yes, it is. - Is it in the song?
- No, it's not in the song. - No, it's not in the song.
- I see. - Noe-chan.
- Ito.
- Yes. - Yes.
I was wondering if this song would make it into an AKB song contest or something like that.
But now that I think about it, there were many people who sang this song.
- Yes, there were. - That's right.
Ms. Natsuko Akashi, who was in 4th place earlier, is now in 12th place.
- She's in 12th place. - Yes, she is.
Shall we move on?
I'd like to announce who's in 1st place now.
Let me announce who's in 10th place now.
First, 10th place!
STU48 Kadowaki Miyuna!
9th place...
HKT48...
Ueno Haruka!
8th place...
HKT48...
Hokazo no Hazuki!
7th place...
HKT48...
Akiyoshi Yuka!
6th place...
7th place...
HKT48...
Yui Kojina!
5th place...
HKT48...
Aki Toyonaga!
4th place...
HKT48...
Tomoka Takeda!
3rd place...
NMB48...
Yamazaki Amir!
And...
2nd place...
STU48...
Yanoho no Ga!
And...
1st place...
HKT48...
Sakamoto Elena!
Wow! How many people are in HKD?
In HKD, there are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
Then it's twelve people.
From eleventh to twentieth, there were five people.
Wow!
Twelve people!
They're in, but wow!
Now, looking at this...
Mr. Sato...
Yes?
What do you think of this result?
Well...
Of course, we gave more points,
and those who gave more points came in last.
Yes.
Hmm...
Those who left an impression...
Well...
Yano-san, Sakamoto-san...
Yes, Yamazuki-san...
I'd like to ask those three again.
Yes, those three who left an impression.
Well...
How about you, Sowa-san?
Yes, they were decent.
Joy-san and others...
I'd like to listen to all kinds of songs.
Songs that are different from the ones you sang today.
Yes, I'd like to listen to songs like "Up Tempo".
By the way, are there any members who left an impression?
Well...
But...
Sakamoto-san was...
amazing.
What was amazing about him?
Well...
Even while creating a world,
he hits the pitch like "pa-pa-pan"!
Well...
It tends to be either way.
Even if you try to create a world,
the pitch is a little sweet.
Even if it gets sweet,
I think there are still songs that are convincing.
But in her case,
she covers the pitch properly,
so it's pretty perfect.
And Mr. Yoshimoto...
I fell in love with him.
And Mr. Mineyoshi...
No, no, no...
Mr. Mineyoshi is gone.
I might say that later, but...
Do you have any other requests, judges?
I had a very luxurious time.
I was wondering if I could do it a little more at the end, for me.
Good, good, good...
But, you know...
Everyone has their own personality.
I was wondering if I could stand that extremely dense four hours.
But I can do it in four hours.
I can do it.
Do you want me to continue?
You can do it for tomorrow, right?
It was fun.
I'd like to ask you about it for tomorrow, but...
So, up to...
Oh, up to 20 people.
Oh, all 20 people.
Here are today's results.
Mr. Aoki, is there anyone you're interested in?
But as expected of H.K.T.
It's amazing.
It feels like it's been shown for a long time.
But there are a lot of people who don't have a name here who think it's amazing.
That's right.
It's not easy to actually get out of that main line like this.
You're being squeezed out of here again.
That's right.
Well, tomorrow too.
About 80 people.
It's quite a fierce battle.
But I want everyone to get out of here.
That's right.
I want to see it live.
It's a VTR, but I'd like to see it at the venue as well.
Yes.
That's why.
The first preliminary round for the final match held at Akasaka Act Theater on January 11th.
These are the first 20 people on the first day of the preliminary round.
In addition, tomorrow is the second day of the final round of the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round.
That's tomorrow.
What?
Tomorrow is Saturday.
Evening.
Tomorrow is Saturday.
Tomorrow is Saturday evening.
The live broadcast will start at 18 o'clock.
There will be a lot of people tomorrow as well.
That's right.
Tomorrow, 80...
More than 80 people.
80 people.
You're making it up.
Those of you who aren't in the 20th place, please don't give up singing.
Everyone was good.
If you work harder and harder, you'll be able to do this again.
Don't give up.
Yes.
Mr. Souwa, how was it today?
It's more than I imagined.
I'm not going to say this, but...
I didn't expect much.
It's crazy good, isn't it?
I was surprised.
It's more than you imagined.
Mr. Sato, how about you?
That's right.
I heard a lot of singing voices and it was a lot of fun.
It felt short.
That's right.
It's been four hours, hasn't it?
Yes.
In no time at all, more than 70 people.
That's all for today.
