Love is over
It's sad, but let's end it
Because there's no end
Love is over
There's no reason for it
There's only one thing
For you
Love is over
There will come a time
When you can say it with a smile
That it's a young mistake
Love is over
Don't cry, man
Forget about me as soon as possible
I won't forget you
No matter who holds you, I won't forget you
Because I think it's our last love
Love is over
I can be your shield
Softly in your heart
Love is over
There's one last thing
Don't deceive yourself
I'm Suzuki Kurumi of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
These feelings I gathered up until the last second
Every day that has piled up does not betray you
The dazzling sunshine turns into a sunset
Illuminating the time of youth that will never come again
I love your eyes that chase dreams straight ahead
I want to cherish being with you now
Tears and smiles are proof that I've become reckless.
I am proud of living with you.
I'll always be proud of you
I'm Manaka Naguchi from akb48. Thank you for having me.
Thank you. Thank you.
Best friend.
Forever and ever and ever.
Best friend.
Thank you very much.
Hi, I'm AKB48 Chiba Erii. Nice to meet you.
Even if reality turns into a one-click light
I wonder if I can't be Adam and Eve
Even if I'm far away from the back of the earth
I followed the place where I was born
If I could gently touch and heal those wounds
Love will shine on you with overflowing feelings
To the point of being a light
Even if there's no me in the picture of the future
I'll gently hold you
Even if it's fate, I want you to draw me closer and continue to shine
Even if it's a miracle, I want you to wake me up and make me believe
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Nishikawa Rei. Nice to meet you.
Thank you very much.
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're closing in and bending over,
but you're still so dear to me.
If we hold hands, we'll feel warm.
If we hate each other, we'll feel lonely.
Each one of them will become you.
The rainbow 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.
I'm AKB48's Mayda Yaka. Thank you for having me.
Closing the door of our room,
I said goodbye to my memories.
Since then, half a year has passed,
and I can finally smile.
I'm busy every day,
walking my own new life.
I want to see you,
but I can't sleep at night.
I remember your warmth,
so I quietly close my eyes.
Thank you!
I'm Mion Mukaichi of a.k.a.b48. Thank you!
Should I listen to my favorite song alone?
Because Olivia will comfort my lonely heart
Jasmine tea is a medicine that invites you to sleep
I want to end my day like myself
When we met on a night like this
I didn't think this day would come
Making good things better
No, it's over, it's just that time has piled up
You, who were exhausted, loved my illusion
You're the phone call at night, aren't you?
There's nothing to talk about
Making good things better
Love has disappeared
Don't come to me again
You were exhausted
Did you love my illusion?
I'm Yui Yokoyama from akb48.
Thank you for having me.
My blood is about to break and my passion is about to collapse.
I'm always looking for something to hold me back.
Why can't I see my dreams honestly anymore?
There's nowhere in this city for me to be.
My whole body is overflowing with love.
As adults rub through the crowd and reach out for help,
my experience increases and I can't avoid it anymore.
Even if I get lost, I'm proud of loving someone.
I didn't seem like I could see you, but I felt like I could see you, so I lived on.
It seemed like it would reach you, but I couldn't grasp it like a strawberry.
Sweet and painful things, I thought about them all night long.
One by one, they're disappearing. I counted the lights in my house.
There's nowhere in the city for me to sleep.
Tears were spilling out of my body.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Shimoguchi Hinano. Thank you for having me.
Get on the spring-colored train and take me to the sea. Even if half a year has passed since the day we met
I will follow you I will follow you Choppiri ki ga yowai kedo sutekii na hito dakara Because you're a nice person with a soft heart
I love cute Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea is cuter than anyone I've ever met. sukiyo kyou made atta dareyori. I love you more than anyone I've met today, I will follow you. I love the way you're going. I can't go home like this. I can't go home. suki kono mama kaerenai kaerenai I like the way you live and I can't go home like this, I can't go home Kokoro ni haru ga kita hi wa The day when spring came to my heart
sweet pea sutopii sweet pea
Thank you very much.
I'm Muto Rin of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, I won't forget your big hope
Ten years later in August, I'll meet you again, believe me
The best memories
The moment we met, you called me at the crossing on the way home. "Let's go home together."
I was very happy while hiding my face in my bag, looking embarrassed.
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.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, I won't forget your big hope.
I believe we will meet again in August ten years later.
You said goodbye to me until the end.
I hold back my tears and say goodbye with a smile. It's painful, isn't it?
The best memories
Thank you very much.
Hi, I'm Tom Mutoh of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
It's a melancholic smile, the voice of a disappearing child, far, far away.
You must be somewhere in this sky.
At the end of summer, we escaped together.
I somehow remember that constellation we saw in this park.
Even if we can't meet, I want to follow my memories and see the same happiness.
With that scent, the fireworks suddenly opened.
I want to go to you. I want to run out 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 was a beautiful sky like the one we saw in the past.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Yasuda Kana. Nice to meet you.
We don't know why we come across one another.
We don't know when we come across one another.
Where have you been? Have you lived your life?
Underneath the distant sky, there are two stories.
You are the thread in my hand and I am the thread beside you.
One day, I may be able to warm someone up.
You are the thread in my hand and I am the thread beside you.
When we come across each other, we call it happiness.
Thank you very much!
Now, AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Decision Match.
First of all, Team A of AKB48 and Team K of AKB48, 12 singers have finished judging.
Now, first of all, Ichikawa-san.
Well, everyone has their own taste.
Yes, that's right.
It starts with "Love is over" and ends with "it".
I can't wait for the audition.
Set list.
It was a nice set list.
Now, I'd like to ask the judges as well.
How did you like it, Ichikawa-sensei?
The range of the song is wider than yesterday.
It's called "singing power".
It was the first time I heard such a high-pitched song in Yokoyama.
A high-pitched song doesn't make you feel love.
It's always high-pitched.
Director So!
It's always high-pitched.
The song "director so!" has the importance of election songs.
But Hinana-san sang seriously.
That's right.
For the first time in my life, I saw Chinoguchi Hinana being serious for the first time.
Is that so?
I thought it was great.
How about you, Mr. Sowa?
Well...
Everyone is trying to express their own world.
Each of us has changed that.
As Mr. Inoue said, there is a wide range of influence, but each of us has conveyed what we are trying to say.
Are there any members you are interested in?
As expected of you, Mr. Sowa. You are great.
Mr. Sowa?
I don't think I've ever called you "Mr. Sowa".
You sang "I'm Proud", but you haven't sung it since yesterday.
No, I haven't.
There are a lot of songs I've sung.
Like "Akai Suitoppy".
"Akai Suitoppy".
Or "Planetarium".
I've sung "Planetarium" and "Beats" a lot.
You sing old songs, don't you?
That's right.
I was surprised.
I thought you were the only pianist who sang only this song.
But you sang "Ano Kata" very well.
"Ano Kata" is also great.
I'll give you 100 points for "Ano Kata".
"Ano Kata" is always 100 points.
I made a mistake yesterday.
Is it okay?
It's okay.
How about you, Mr. Sato?
I felt that you sang each song in your own interpretation.
As I expected, Yokoyama's singing voice is very transparent.
I had an honest impression that it went up to the top beautifully.
That's right.
Mr. Hinana Shimokuchi's facial expressions and words went well with each other.
I liked it very much.
Well, Team A and Team B.
First of all, there are 12 people.
Yes.
But there are still 73 people left.
73 people.
Yes.
There are only 73 people left.
That's right.
It's a shame.
That's how you think.
That's right.
But yesterday's show was over in no time.
Yes.
It was a wonderful concert.
Yes.
Even though it's an audition, it's like a concert.
Yes.
It's fun when you think about it.
That's right.
I think the members themselves are also very interested in this judging pattern.
That's right.
Yes.
Viewers, for the sake of such members, please give us your impressions of this live broadcast and comment on #akb48 Singing Power No. 1 Decision Battle.
Yes.
What do you think?
That's right.
Is it coming now?
Yes.
I'd like to hear your impressions of each of them.
Yes.
These three.
Bukaichi, Yokoyama, and Shimoguchi were good.
I see.
Things like that.
Yes.
Well, various things.
Huh? Were there two pianists?
Oh!
You're sharp.
You're looking at me.
You missed me, didn't you?
You missed me.
I think you can give a pianist 100 points.
100 points.
Yes.
Let's give him 100 points.
Yes.
Let's give him 100 points.
Yes.
I'm curious about his score.
No, no.
Just because he got that many points doesn't mean he has that kind of mental strength.
That's amazing.
He's really good at singing.
He only sang four or five songs.
Just because he sang four or five songs doesn't mean he has that kind of mental strength.
That's amazing.
Okay, let's move on.
Next up is...
Uh...
Preliminary screening.
Let's go.
Next up is...
#akb48's researchers.
There are 20 of them.
Here you go.
I'm Sato Minami of akb48. Nice to meet you.
The snow began to fall, erasing my footprints.
In this pure white world, I'm all alone.
The wind whispered in my heart, "You can't go on like this."
I was confused and hurt, and I couldn't tell anyone about it.
But I won'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.
Blowing in the wind, I'm not cold at all.
It seemed like a lie that I was worried about.
But 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 I am, riding the wind to the sky.
As I am, I'll try to fly away.
I'll never shed tears again.
It's not even a little cold.
Thank you very much.
I'm Yamane Suzuha of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
Yes, I wonder what you, who is reading this letter, are doing.
As number ten, I have a seed of worries 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, 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 now in pain.
I'm living now.
Thank you very much.
I'm Sato Shiori of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
I'm waiting for the train and I'm looking at the clock next to you
It's snowing out of season
"This is the last snow I'll see in Tokyo," you whisper lonely
It's strange even when it snows in Nagori
After seasons of fooling around
Now spring has come and you've become beautiful
You've become more beautiful than last year
When you left, there was ice left on the platform
I was watching the snow melt as it fell
Now, spring has come and you've become more beautiful
You've become more beautiful than last year
Look, look at where you're walking
This is the path you will walk
Look, look ahead
That is your future
My mother gave me a lot of kindness and love
The dream and repetition of that time are still young and I don't know what it means
You held my hand and walked with me
Sometimes I didn't like your kindness and I couldn't be honest with you
Look at your feet, this is the path you will walk
Look ahead, that is your future
Thank you very much!
I'm Honda Sora of AKB48. Nice to meet you!
Monocle, far away, far away
I wonder if you are somewhere in this sky
At the end of summer, we escaped
I found it in this park
I somehow 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
I want to go to you
I want to run right now
It's pitch black and I can't see anything
I'm afraid, but it's okay
I can't count it
The starry sky is still here
Don't cry
Because it was a beautiful sky like the one I saw with you in the past
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48's Okada Rina. Nice to meet you.
Slightly sweet and slightly bitter
the flavor of love
Even if we're friends or lovers
at some point in between
I'm dreaming of harvest day
Blue fruits
Because I can't take one more step
Blue fruits
Because I'm jealous, baby
Ah, when you say "thank you"
It's kind of painful
Even after goodbye, the magic won't go away
It's faintly bitter
The more I wish and wish that I want to believe
It's kind of painful
"I love you" is more like you than "I love you", isn't it?
The favor of love
Thank you very much.
I'm Saori Katsumata of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
I will follow you. I'm a little weak-minded, but I'm a wonderful person.
A red sweet pea bloomed in my heart.
I love you more than anyone I've met today.
I love the way you live.
I can't go home like this.
A red sweet pea bloomed in my heart.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Kobayashi Ran. Thank you.
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.
Beyond the sky and the earth touching each other, I'm calling travelers from the past.
To you, I'm just a passerby.
I turned around for a moment, and I'm just a passerby.
All I have left is sadness, and I'm just a passerby.
I'm Asuna Gensuki of AKB48.
Thank you for having me.
Thank you very much for choosing me like this on this trip.
Before you use it, please read this handling instructions carefully.
Treat it correctly and kindly.
You can't return or exchange it for something you like.
Please understand.
There are times when you're suddenly in a bad mood.
Even if you ask for an excuse, it happens when you leave it alone even though you don't answer.
I'm always sorry.
But in such a case, let's keep in touch with each other.
If you praise me regularly, I'll keep it for a long time.
Let's notice even small changes like beautiful nails.
Please keep an eye on me.
But you don't have to notice anything unnecessary like I'm fat.
If you're getting a little older and you look away,
Please remember the day we first met.
Please continue to take care of me.
I'm like this, but please laugh and forgive me.
Please take good care of me.
I guarantee eternity.
Please continue to take care of me.
I'm like this, but please laugh and forgive me.
Please take good care of me.
I guarantee eternity.
Thank you very much.
I'm Megumi Nagano of a.k.a. b48.
Thank you for having me.
I want to say "see you soon"
I want to remember
many things with you
I don't want to forget
I want to say "see you soon" and hug you
I think from my heart
that it was really good
to meet you
I bit my lips and touched you with my fingers
and checked my kiss with you
Then it stopped raining and the stars fell
and I got lost in a small room
Let's stare at each other's foreheads first and fly away into space
Ah, ah, when you rub your cheek against mine
Our time stops
Oh, I love you, ah, boyfriend
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48's Ihagi Moeka. Nice to meet you!
We've always been together, walking together on this one-way road.
We part ways and walk our own separate paths.
Holding my heart overflowing with loneliness,
I look up at the sky that makes me want to cry even now,
and I think of you.
Ah, even on nights without you,
I won't cry anymore.
It's because you're doing your best. It's because you're getting stronger.
Oh, you're watching too, aren't you?
This disappearing crescent moon.
It's because we're connected. It's because I love you.
I reached out to the crescent moon.
These feelings will reach you.
Thank you very much.
AKB48's Nanami Harima.
Thank you very much.
The seasons I've always waited for with you
Passed by without saying anything
Ame wa kono machi ni furisosogu Rain falls on this town
A little regret and sin are wrapped up
Time has passed without swearing not to cry
Without noticing my aching heart
I've become alone in my memories
We can live forever Zutto futari wa ikite yukeru We can live forever
Your voice still resonates in my heart Kimi no koe ga ima mo mune ni hibiku yo Your voice still resonates in my heart
It's the shadow of love wandering around Sore wa ai ga samayou kage It's the shadow of love wandering around
Kimi wa sukoshi naita ano toki mienakatta You cried a little because you couldn't see at that time
Thank you very much!
AKB48 Hitomi Otake.
As the snow melts and heads for the northern sky
As I shout out the dreams of the past
Those who won't go home will swim with a burning heart
At least from today, I'll go on a journey all by myself
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There is someone waiting for me
On a good day, I set out in search of happiness
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 happiness
The song I sang as a child, along the road
Thank you very much.
I'm Maho Aomori of AKB48.
Thank you for having me.
I'm Maho Aomori of AKB48.
Thank you very much.
Sometimes I'm in such a hurry that I lose sight of myself.
But I can't help it, because you're always watching over me.
And with a smile, like you always do,
I don't know how many times I've been saved by your smile.
Thank you, thank you.
Always, always, always, best friend.
A.k.a. "b48" Saito Helena. Thank you for having me.
Just by taking a deep breath, the light is about to disappear
I live more firmly than the stars shining in the sky
No matter how far apart we are, you will be by my side
Even on the same night, I believe that a gentle wind is blowing
Toward the wide sky, spread both hands high
The white powder snow gently reaches my heart
Even in a faraway city like this, you give me dreams
The white powder snow gently reaches you
A.k.b.48, Cross Haruka. thank you.
Turning old albums over, I muttered "thank you".
Always, always in my heart, you are the one who encourages me.
Whether it's a sunny day or a rainy day,
that smiling face floats in my mind.
Even if I let my memories fade away,
I'll look for your face and come back to life.
Whether it's a sunny day or a rainy day,
that smiling face floats in my mind.
Even if I let my memories fade away,
I'm lonely and I miss you.
My feelings for you, yes, yes, I miss you.
I miss you.
My feelings for you, yes, yes,
Thank you very much.
I'm HKB48 HONMA MAI. 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 wouldn't be here now.
You don't look like you're okay.
You look gloomy.
You said you weren't afraid of anything or anyone
if you were alone, right?
You don't, you don't cry, do you?
I'm, I'm cowardly,
but now I'm here to say everything.
You don't, you don't cry, do you?
La la la...
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Ishiwata Sena. Nice to meet you.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, and a big hope I won't forget
Ten years later in August, I believe we will meet again
The best memories
The moment we met, at the crossing on the way home, you called out to me, "Let's go home together."
I was so embarrassed, hiding my face in my bag, but I was actually very, very happy.
Ah, the fireworks bloom beautifully in the winter 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.
The end of summer with you, 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.
Holding back my tears and saying goodbye with a smile is sad, isn't it?
The best memories
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB's Hottei and Karamoto Miyu. 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, there is a sad sound.
Closing in and meeting you now, I love you so much.
If we hold hands, we'll feel warm. If we hate each other, we'll feel lonely.
Each and every one of them will be you. The rainbow 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 Yuzuka Yoshihashi of AKB48.
Nice to meet you.
How are you? Did you meet someone important?
Will your dream come true someday?
Do you remember?
The swaying wheat leaves in the evening glow
I kept searching for the sky along the horizon
While struggling to draw tomorrow
Now into my dream
The shapeless shine
Gently, gently embraces me
I move forward
Now, AKB48 GROUP SINGING POWER NO.1 DECISION ROUND 2ND ROUND!
AKB48 researchers! 20 singer judges have finished.
First of all, in the VTR, Mr. Sato Shiori's handwriting was a little wrong, so please understand.
I'm sorry.
Yes, this is it.
This is it, right?
Yes.
That's why the VTR is a little wrong.
I'm sorry.
Now, by the way, there are various differences in lighting and locations in the video, but judges are judged only by singing ability, so I would like you to take note of that as well.
Yes.
Now, Mr. Ichika, 20 researchers, how was it?
It was delicious.
Yes.
But among them, there were some people who were drawn in.
Yes.
Personally, when I saw them live, Mr. Yahagi and Mr. Ohtake were singing quite proudly.
Yes.
Now, that being said, judges, how about you, Mr. Yoshima?
Yes, Mr. Yahagi and Mr. Ohtake were convincing.
Yes.
What is this?
Yes.
In fact, there are many young people.
Yes.
It was an expression of about 60 years old.
Wow.
There were quite a few.
Yes.
It was amazing.
Also, Mr. Okada and Ms. Ina...
I like the way it's produced.
It's unique.
There are those kinds of colors, too.
So, there were quite a few people who wanted to hear it again.
Even though it was a little off pitch this time, there were people who wanted to hear it again.
But...
If you practice...
Even now...
It's a little too narrow for me to go to the finals.
If you let me hear it one more time...
Yes, that's right.
If you have time now, please come and see me.
There are pianists.
That's right.
And only the piano.
Mr. Suenaga...
Yes, Mr. Suenaga's pianist has changed a little.
That's right.
I'm sorry about that, too.
I'm sorry.
I'm not the only pianist.
I'm sorry about that.
Next, how about you, Mr. Soba?
Well, Mr. Yahagi and Mr. Otoke...
And...
That...
What was it?
Ms. Okada Rina's voice is good.
I really think so, too.
Why did you choose such a difficult song?
It's a little disadvantageous to have such a wide range of sounds.
I thought it would be more attractive if it was a song that could be sung easily.
There are various choices in song selection.
Yes, yes, yes.
Now, Mr. Sato.
Yes.
As the two teachers said,
I guess it's about key settings.
If you go from a wide range of keys from low to high,
or if you can't figure it out,
or if you can hear it again and say, "Oh, that's too bad."
It's a very nice voice, but it's a place where you have a lot of trouble deciding what to do when you go back and forth.
There were a lot of people who wanted to hear it again.
I think we should do it more frequently.
That's right.
Personally, I was curious about it.
Of course, Mr. Yahagi and Mr. Otoke had great singing ability and of course they were great.
At first, Mr. Minami didn't know how to interpret and sing it.
No, you're good at it.
You're good at it.
Originality.
I was wondering if you were thinking about that when you sang it.
You have a good impression.
The lines are difficult.
You have a good impression.
Will it change a little?
Yes, it will.
Yes, that's it.
Let's continue.
I'm sure you all have your impressions and comments about this live broadcast.
What do you think?
That's right.
As expected, Mr. Yahagi was very excited.
Yes.
And...
Thank you for your hard work.
When Mr. Yoshimatsu turned his hand back...
Yes, that happened.
It's cute.
Yes, it's cute.
Yes, it is.
It's like a throwing kiss.
Yes, it's like "I turned my hand back. It's a trap."
It's funny.
What do you think about this?
#AKB48 Singer No. 1 Deciding Round.
We're still waiting for your tweets.
Thank you for your comments.
Let's continue.
The following is a screening of SKE48 members.
Here you go.
I'm SKE48's Sugiha Maika. Nice to meet you.
As we passed each other's time, I met you.
It's strange that the miracle I wished for is so close to me.
As I want to see you, I can't see you.
As we passed each other's door, I remembered you again.
As we laughed with that person, I saw you.
My beloved person, don't make me sad.
There are nights when I'm tired of crying and falling asleep.
Don't look at the past and only look at me.
You're everything. You're everything.
I'm stronger and kinder than you think.
You're the one I want.
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48 Nojima Kano. 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 go home have a hot heart
At least from today, I will go on a journey alone
Ah, somewhere in Ion
There are people waiting for me
One day, I set out in search of a sunset
With my mother's back to me, I heard a song along the way
Ah, somewhere in Ion
There are people waiting for me
On a good day, I set out in search of happiness
Along the way, I sang a song I sang as a child
Thank you very much
I'm Yamauchi Suzuran of Escape Hotel. Thank you very much.
I've never thought of you as a friend
Since the day I met you
Some things have changed
But the things that haven't changed
Are you and me
Until we couldn't see each other on the hot way home
Until we became really small
I loved you
Even now, even now
Summer hair cuts my cheek
As I age again, I'm sure I'll remember
Your shadow
My words
Waver, waver
Thank you very much.
I'm Shirai Kotono of sk48. Nice to meet you.
I crouched down on the messy floor and hugged my knees. chirakatta yuka no ue, uzukumari, hiza wo daita.
The promises I can't keep have withered away. mamorenai yakusoku ga karenda.
It's dirty. If a day like this ever comes, I will do it.
I wish we could have hugged each other, miss you, let's count your kisses. dakiaeba yokatta you to, miss you anata no kisu wo kazoemashou.
If you remember each one, hitotsu hitotsu wo omoidaseba,
I wanted to be by your side more than anyone, dareyori soba ni itakatta,
without you, but you are mine.
Let's find your kiss. Anata no kisu wo sagashimashou.
Even though I touched you so close, anda chikaku ni sawareta no ni,
I wish we had never met, deawanakereba yokatta no,
shiny day when you are mine.
Thank you very much!
I'm Akane Takayanagi of SK48.
We began to pass by each other.
There were more and more things I wanted to say at the end.
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 drew that day is now disappearing in the rain.
I'm glad I fell in love.
Even if you are sad, don't stumble and walk.
I want you to believe it.
I'm glad I fell in love with you.
Even if we meet in loneliness,
Each and every memory of you
is because you are alive.
I'm Yuka Asai of ske48. Thank you for having me.
If only I had known where I was born and if only I could gently touch and heal that wound...
My overflowing feelings of love will become the light that illuminates you.
Even if I'm not there in the past or in the future...
Right now, I'll gently hold you in my arms.
Even if it's fate, I want to keep breathing and shining.
Even if it's a miracle, I believe I can make it happen.
I believe...
Thank you very much.
I'm Goto Arara of SK48. Nice to meet you.
Pushing up the sky, you reach out your hand towards 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 purple 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.
Someday, I hope my hair will be tied up and endless waves will stop.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
I'm SK Ihotei and Shiroeki Kohaku. Thank you for having me.
Thank you very much.
Now, AKB48 GROUP's singing ability No. 1 finalist SK48 members' first singing test is over.
First of all, Mr. Atsukawa, how was it?
Well, once again, the good thing about this project is that the members' real voices are transmitted directly.
It's usually hard to hear, isn't it?
It's hard to hear each and every singer's voice.
Now, let's hear from the judges as well.
First of all, Mr. Yoshima.
Yes, yes.
You know SKE, right?
SKE, yes.
Mr. Nojima, right?
Yes.
On a certain program before this, there was a singing ability contest like SKE.
I was called as a judge.
Yes, yes.
And a great actress was judging next to me.
Can I say it?
Yes, can I say it?
Ah, Ms. Niizuma, right?
I'm glad you said it.
Ms. Niizuma Seiko's...
Anyway, Ms. Niizuma's favorite singer was really Ms. Nojima, Ms. Nojima.
At the time of the election, I didn't have a good image of her.
"Don't you know how good she is?" There was a feeling like that.
I know it now.
I knew it at the time, but I was singing a little brighter song.
This time...
Oh, I see.
Ms. Niizuma, if you look at me now, I think you're laughing at me.
Yes, you did it.
And...
Yes, is there anything else?
Lastly, Mr. Shirai...
Even though you're white, you're blond.
No, I'm not like that.
Oh, really?
I mix my voice with husky after singing and recording.
But it's a voice after mixing.
Even if it's a finished voice, I want to be that voice.
Wow.
It's fun and ballad.
Yes.
It's an uptempo song now, but even in a ballad, it seems like it's growing a little.
I see.
Now, Mr. Sugawa...
Blond...
Is blond okay?
Blond...
Well, I was really interested in Ms. Yamauchi Suzuran.
Oh, what was it like?
She had a very unique voice and unique way of singing.
I thought she had a completely different approach from others.
She was like an artist.
That's what I felt.
I see.
Now, let's move on.
Mr. Sato...
Yes.
Ms. S.K. also sang, but each of them had their own personality.
I was amazed at how they sang.
Not only Ms. Nojima, but also Ms. Yamauchi Suzuran.
There were many people with unique voices.
When I first heard Ms. Yamauchi Suzuran's voice, I thought it was strong.
Mr. Shiroyuki also had a voice that I liked.
But I think it was very high overall.
Now, let's move on to Ms. Churi.
She's great.
She seems like a singer.
Yes, she has a sense of rhythm.
I think she'll win if she can sing for about two seconds at the end.
The last part of the song is a little rough.
I hope it will be fixed.
She was wearing a singing costume next to the piano, wasn't she?
That's right.
I didn't think about it.
Now, let's continue with the live broadcast.
#AKB48 Singer No. 1 Finals
How do you feel about it?
I think it was like a preliminary round.
A preliminary round?
There were only eight people.
There were only a few people.
I think it was like that.
We're looking forward to your tweets.
Please tweet as much as you can.
Now, about half of the second preliminary round has ended.
Now that the 40 people have finished judging,
we will announce the top 20 of today's AKB48 Team A, Team K researchers, and SK48.
If you don't make it to the top 20 of the 40 people so far, you will be eliminated from the preliminary round.
That's right.
What do you think?
That's how you say it.
What do you think?
I said it lightly.
It's important.
Top 20 out of 40 people.
That's right.
Now, who are the remaining members in the top 20?
Yes.
Please look at this announcement while counting.
Thank you for your patience.
The first round of the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round.
The first half of the second day of the preliminaries.
Team A and Team K of AKB48 will announce the second- highest ranking among researchers and members of AKB48.
Yes.
So, how did you like it, Mr. Kishin?
Oh, no, no, it's fine.
You know, we had a late decision yesterday.
Yes.
We were told not to give too many points from the beginning.
Yes, it's hard to get good grades.
That's right.
So, we were wondering if we should give more points to the members we want them to sing one more time.
Even if it's an amateur singer?
Yes.
It seems like you're being tested.
Or you're not being tested.
Which one do you like?
I don't know.
Well, I think it was a difficult decision.
So, please announce it.
Yes, I understand.
Yes.
So, I'd like to announce it from the 20th place.

What do you think, judges?
- What do you think? - Yes, Soga-san.
- Oh, me? - Yes.
Oh, well...
Mukaichi-san seemed a little worried about me.
- He said, "Oh, you're up there." - That's right.
- 11th place. - He said it in a nice voice.
- Sato-san, what about you? - Well, I also checked Mukaichi-san.
And I thought it was natural for her to be up there.
Let's see...
- Let's keep talking. - Oh, yes!
We can't keep talking?
- Let's keep talking! - No, it's fine.
I'm relaxed enough.
- It's fine with my voice. - Oh, really?
I don't check my voice.
- Got it. - I'm not a judge.
All right, let's announce the 10th place.
We'll announce it from 10th place.

1st place has 2 people.
I'll announce it.
1st place.
SKY48 Yamauchi Suzura.
And 1st place.
SKY48 Nojima Kano.
2 people.
Here it is.
I was looking at Twitter while I was doing this, and there was a comment like this.
It's important to have a loud voice.
It makes me nervous.
Oh, really?
- I'm sorry about that. - That's good.
- It was worth it. - It's important to have a loud voice.
- Thank you. - Yes.
So, that was our best 10.
How about you, judges? Let's start with Sato-san.
- Yes. - Yes.
- How about you, judges? Let's start with Sato - san. - Yes.
I think both of them are in the same place.
They both gave me almost the same score, so it was hard for me to make a choice.
I was a little worried about your pitch in the second half of the game.
But you had a wonderful voice, so I thought you were in the top 10.
How about you, Soha-san?
I think it's pretty even.
I thought Yokoyama-san was in the fourth place, but I thought he was a little higher up.
- Oh, I see. - That's right.
Anything else you're interested in?
Like I said earlier, I'm glad that Suzuran Yamaguchi was able to come up and fight.
I'm happy for him.
Suzuran looked like he had a cold.
Yes, he did.
But I'm sure he's better now.
Then let's have him fight again.
I'm sure he'll come back and fight again.
Nojima is in first place again.
Seiko Nizuma will be laughing about this.
See? Not again.
Hinano's last greeting was great.
I thought Minami would come up as well.
But I don't think we're in the same league.
I think we're in the same league.
I don't like the top 3.
I can't decide who's in first place.
We'll see.
It's still a preliminary match.
Let's see...
The top 3 are SKY48.
Out of 8, only 3 are in the top 3.
That's a lot of people.
Yes.
Speaking of top 3, half of them are still in the top 4.
That's right.
Kohaku Sureiki is also in the top 3.
And we have two researchers.
That's right.
Yahagi and Otake.
These are new researchers.
What do you think of them?
They're still super researchers.
They're super researchers.
They're very stable.
But if Yahagi wants to be in the top 3,
he needs to sing in his own way.
He doesn't have to be good at singing.
He doesn't have to be good at breaking walls.
How does he do it?
For example, he doesn't have to sing from the back.
That's not what I'm talking about.
He needs to sing in his own way.
His way of singing.
In that sense,
Minami Sato's singing has a lot of originality.
His way of singing.
It's a good example.
But if Yahagi wants to be in the top 3,
he doesn't have to be good at singing.
He needs to take an adventure.
Is it the same for Suzuran?
I think so.
Suzuran has a lot of weight in his voice.
That's it for now.
We're still waiting for the mid-announcement.
I don't know what will happen.
I'm curious about everyone's opinions.
This is the second half of the show, but it's still a live broadcast.
We'd like you to tweet us.
What do you think?
Congratulations on winning first place in the mid- announcement.
I'm so happy I can finally find you.
Are you a fan of Nojima-san?
Yes.
I see.
The fans of SKE are excited.
I thought you'd win first place.
Kano-chan, I'm happy for you.
The fans of SKE are happy about it.
I see.
We're still waiting for it.
The first half of the show has just ended.
This is the second half of the show.
Next, we'll have Team B and Team 4 of #akb48.
Let's go.
I'm Kitazawa Saki of #akb48. Nice to meet you.
Yureru omoi karada shuu kanjite

In your dream
I'm AKB48 Kubo Satone. Nice to meet you.
In the dazzling morning, I hope you'll smile and open the window.
Tell me the beginning of the future I'm lost in.
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.
Since when did our dreams change?
Today is also one of our precious memories.
I hope the blue sky and the crying sky will be clear.
I want to tell you "thank you".
I'm looking at you, but
my right hand is connected and
I'm telling you my honest feelings awkwardly.
Forever and only forever,
I want to laugh with you.
I want to make sure of the path I believe in.
Now, let's walk slowly.
Thank you very much!
I'm Sasaki Yukari of akb48. Thank you for your support!
Hikaru ase T-shirt deatta koi

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.
I arrived after passing through many seasons
After a journey that took too long
Let's cultivate the love we vowed
Before you know it
Thank you very much.
I'm Juri Takahashi of AKB48.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Juri Takahashi of AKB48.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Juri Takahashi of AKB48.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Juri Takahashi of AKB48.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Juri Takahashi of AKB48.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Juri Takahashi of AKB48.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Juri Takahashi of AKB48.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Juri Takahashi of AKB48.
Nice to meet you.
I listen to my heart.
I'm not alone.
I'm embraced by the sea of sky.
What can I do with these hands of mine?
Let me touch the pain and gently close my eyes.
Rather than losing my dream, the sad thing is
not being able to believe in myself.
If there is loneliness in learning love,
meaningless things won't happen.
Thank you very much.
I'm Takitaka Yoko from akb48. Nice to meet you.
What do you wish for? Tell me softly.
Even if you can't call this love "eternal",
Just for now, tell me a lie and make me believe in faint words.
If the song of love resonates, 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 looked up at the sky, feeling like I could go back to how I always was tomorrow.
Don't say goodbye.
Tonight, I'm falling into a dream again.
Thank you very much.
I'm Chiui Nakanishi of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
It's already my third spring since I graduated.
As usual, you're by my side with the same smile.
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 looked away until the corner turned,
you always said "I love you" with the brake light and five-time flash.
I'm sure no matter how many years pass,
I can spend my time like this with the same feelings
because I'm with you.
The prediction of the future I draw in my heart
is just like what I thought.
Thank you very much!
I'm Seina Fukuoka from AKB48. Nice to meet you!
You can be stronger than you think.
Like flowers blooming on asphalt.
Don't be afraid of everything you see.
Tomorrow will come for you.
Why do you want to see me all of a sudden?
What happened in the late afternoon?
Even if I hurry up and make a joke of it,
your smile is sad.
Look at the moonlight above the building.
If you throw away your memories and pride you're holding on to,
something good will happen again.
You can only become stronger with the number of tears.
Like flowers blooming on asphalt,
don't be afraid of everything you have.
Tomorrow will come for you.
You can only become stronger with the number of tears.
Like flowers swaying in the wind,
keep believing in yourself.
Tomorrow will come no matter what.
Tomorrow will come for you.
I'm Asai Nanami from akb48.
Hi, I wonder what you, who is reading this letter, are doing.
There is a seed of worries and worries that no one can talk about.
If it is a letter for myself in the future, I am sure I can open it honestly.
I am about to lose and about to cry and about to disappear.
Whose words should I believe and walk on?
My heart, which has only one, has been broken many times.
I am living now in pain.
I am living now.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kaori Inagaki, aka "b48". Nice to meet you.
"Thank you" I said as I turned over my old album
You're the one who always, always encourages me in my heart
Whether it's a sunny day or a rainy day
That smile that floats in the air
Even if my memories are far away
I'll look for it and bring it back to life
Whether it's a sunny day or a rainy day
That smile that floats in the air
Even if I'm in a hurry, even if I'm in a hurry
I miss you, I miss you
My feelings for you, yes, yes
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Miyu Omori.
Thank you for having me.

I'm Nana Okada of a.k.a.b.48 and st.48.
Thank you very much.
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 away everything
I'll catch my breath, cool my fingers
I'll go see you right away
Even if I'm not rewarded, even if I'm not connected
You are just one person of fate
When today ends
If you can stay by my side
I don't need a tomorrow
I'll stroke your hair and hold your shoulders
Until you fall asleep
That's enough
It's okay, don't worry
You whispered to me, as I was about to cry
With a smile that never changes
You whispered to me
I can still do it
Because you're always shining
Sometimes I'm in such a hurry that I lose sight of you
But I can't help it, because you're always watching over me
With a smile on my face, I hug you like I always do
I wonder how many times your smile has saved me
Thank you, thank you
Best friend
Always, always, always, best friend
I'm AKB48's Sato Kiara. Thank you for having me.
I want to engrave it in my heart
I don't want to forget it
I want to meet you and cry
I'm glad everything started with you
That's what I think from the bottom of my heart
I bite my lips, I touch you with my fingers
I sat down and made sure of my kiss with you
My eyes got tired and stars started to fall
I got lost in a small room
Staring straight ahead, I'll blow you away with my lips
Ah, when you put your cheek on mine
Our time stops
I like you, my boyfriend
Thank you very much.
I'm Tachibihoteito Tachiama-kyo. 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.
I hope your faintly colored and cute 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 Taya Misaki of AKB48.
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.
When we're together and now, you're so dear to me.
If we hold hands, we'll feel warm. If we hate each other, we'll feel lonely.
Each and every one of them will be you. The rainbow 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.
Behind your dazzling smile, I hear a sad sound.
I'm Machalin of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
When I wake up, I'm always in the same scenery.
I can't even see the important things.
You taught me the meaning of life and joy.
I think I'll be fine.
I want to see you now.
Your smile and everything that surrounds you.
I love you with kindness.
I won't get lost.
I'll always love you.
I'll always be by your side.
I love you.
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 from now.
The best memories.
We met by chance at the crossing on the way home.
You called me out. "Let's go home together."
I was hiding my face in my bag, embarrassed.
But I was really, really happy.
Ah, fireworks bloom beautifully in the night sky. It's a little sad.
Ah, the wind flows with time.
We were happy and had fun. We went on many adventures.
In our secret base.
The end of summer with you, 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.
It's sad to say goodbye with a smile holding back tears, isn't it?
Best memories.
Thank you very much.
Yes, AKB48 Group Singer Power No. 1 Final AKB48 Team B and Team 4 members
17 singer judges have finished.
Ah, with that, Ichikawa-san...
Well...
As expected, Okada Nana-san's "Juicy Please" is amazing, isn't it?
It's amazing, isn't it?
But for me personally,
Takahashi Juri-san's...
"Jupiter"...
"Jupiter" and...
That intro...
Yes...
That bass...
It was good, wasn't it?
For a woman, that bass voice is quite attractive, isn't it?
Does it mean you know your strengths?
Yes...
Well then, I'd like to ask the judges as well.
Ichikawa-san...
Yes, yes...
How was it?
Well...
I don't like to advertise myself, but...
Yes...
Well...
Occasionally, I do some live performances.
Yes, yes, yes...
Well, from 500 people to 50,000 people...
The range is wide...
Yes, yes...
At that time, as a guest...
Occasionally, from the group...
I was invited as a guest...
Well, just now...
Kitazawa Saki-chan was invited as a regular guest...
Well...
Personally, I was wondering how and what kind of election I should do...
Well...
It was quite good, wasn't it?
Also, Juri...
No, no, not Juri...
Ichiori-san, Nakanishi...
Yes, Ichiori...
Yes, he has been here before...
Well...
When he sang in my live performance...
He sang several times better than me...
Is that so? What did you do?
Well...
He sang my songs...
Also...
Asai-san, right?
"Kamikyoku Shibari"...
I mentioned it yesterday...
My...
Produce performance...
Yes, yes...
I was doing it...
There...
He played the saxophone...
Ah, yes, yes...
With me...
So, singing...
Well...
It was my first time to listen to his solo performance...
It was quite good...
Because of his high volume...
It was good, wasn't it?
Also, well...
Okada-san's...
"I am the queen" feeling is amazing...
Well...
It's like...
His level...
Yes...
It's like he showed me a different side of him...
It's interesting...
Well...
Well, everyone says it...
Okada-san's answer...
Go ahead, go ahead...
Yes, well...
Tsubawa-san...
Well...
I have to say it...
But, Okada-san...
Well...
How can I say it...
While I was singing...
I had my own room for playback...
I felt like I was singing while listening...
I could see it clearly...
As a third party...
I also turned to the audience side...
"Ah, if I sing like this...
Everyone will come to me, right?"
I felt like I understood it all and sang it...
Well...
I didn't feel like I was being sung...
Anyone else?
Well...
Nakanishi Chiori-san's voice quality...
I really like it...
His voice is smooth...
Well...
His smooth voice is...
As Yume-san said earlier...
When you mix it...
If you raise it a little...
You can hear it clearly...
I thought it was a very good voice...
How about...
Fukuoka-san?
I don't think you can touch it...
Ah, Fukuoka-san...
Fukuoka-san...
"Tomorrow"...
He sang it clearly...
Ah...
He sang it clearly...
Well...
That's right...
Well...
That's why...
After all...
How should I say it...
I feel like there were a lot of people who were singing properly in this group.
And among them, there are people who have climbed up.
One person has climbed up...
Climbed up...
It's useful if you've climbed up, isn't it?
If you've climbed up and there's one more person who hasn't climbed up, it'll get better.
That's why tomorrow...
I see.
I think it'll get better.
Mr. Sato, what do you think?
Yes, that's right. This team has a very high level.
Of course, I thought Mr. Okada's presence was amazing.
I felt like he was singing his own song completely as his own song.
His skills are also high.
Besides that, I was a little worried about it.
Mr. Kamo's song is very...
I can hear all of it in Japanese and I personally like it very much.
Thank you very much.
Now, let's move on to the last group.
This is the tallest block.
The tallest block.
This is Team 8.
There are 28 candidates.
Please watch Team 8's singing ability evaluation.
Please watch it.
I'm AKB48's Nagisa Sakaguchi. Nice to meet you.
From the sky full of stars, you gently smiled and said that the stars are like us.
We entrusted our dreams to the faint hope that we wanted to make shine.
Knowing I wasn't alone, these hands became stronger.
I nodded again at that voice you can no longer hear now.
If I can shine past the night of sadness,
I'll dream of the endless sky of hopes and feelings.
Even for just a moment, if I can shine,
my heart will hold out its hand to the spilled light.
Thank you very much.
I'm Yui Yokoyama from AKB48.
The Flavor of Life
I dream of the days of school, of blue fruits
Because I can't take one more step
I want to scatter, baby
Ah, when you say "thank you"
It's kind of painful
Even after saying goodbye, the magic doesn't go away
It's faintly bitter
I want to believe, if I wish for it, I wish for it
I love you more than "I love you more than I love you"
It's not like you, the flavor of life
the flavor of life
Thank you very much.
I'm Tanika Wajiri of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
Look, look at your feet, this is the path you will walk.
Look, look ahead, that is your future.
Mother gave me a lot of kindness.
Embracing 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.
Mother left me and I couldn't be honest.
Look, look at your feet, this is the path you will walk.
Look, look ahead, that is your future.
I'm Sato Nanami of akb48. Thank you for having me.
As an adult rubs past a crowd, I pull out an invitation.
As my experience increases, I can't avoid it anymore.
Even if I get lost, I'm proud of loving someone.
I felt like I couldn't see you, so I lived on.
Eyebrows reach out and I can't grab a strawberry.
Sweet and painful things float in my mind all night.
One by one, they disappear.
I counted the lights in my house.
There's nowhere I can be all day.
Tears were spilling out of my body.
Thank you very much.
I'm Akari Sato of akb48.
The mirror also flutters back and forth in the morning.
It's been a long winter and now I'm here.
No matter how much I say it, it's not enough.
You loved me. You embraced me.
It was like a sunset.
Under the wide sky, even if we never meet again, I'll live on.
You loved me. You embraced me.
You...
You loved me. You embraced me.
It was like a sunset.
I'm Oka Berlin from akb48. Nice to meet you.
Watashi wa ima Minemi no hitotsu moshi wo miagete Chikatta Donna toki mo Hohoemi wo tayasanzu ni aruite
Yukou to Anata wo omou to
Tada setsunakute Namida wo nagashite wa
Hoshi ni negai wo Tsuki ni inori wo
Sasageru tame dake ni ikitekita
Dakedo ima wa Anata e no Being there is my pride
Watashi wa ima Anata e no, I'm laughing and crying just because it's true
Thank you very much.
I'm Aine Takahashi of a.k.a.b48. Nice to meet you.
In the future you drew, I'm not there, and that era isn't there either.
The two of us, who still had a little bit of scars, were looking for a continuation of our dream.
Ah, I thought it would color as I wanted it to.
I couldn't find an answer.
Even so, this world continues to spin.
The summer you gave me, I won't forget that miracle.
Hiding my overflowing feelings in that sunset, so fine, so fine, so fine, I noticed.
In the summer you were there, I couldn't put these feelings into words.
Ah, why are our two hearts separating? So fine, so fine, so fine, I can't reach you.
True love, true love.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Yoshikawa Nanase.
Thank you for having me.
Thank you very much.
It started with "good morning" from you.
It's a summer morning that doesn't feel like it, but it's also happy.
In a casual conversation, I get burned by your words.
It's boring on rainy days, or studying for tests is bad, I'm the only one who knows.
Before going to bed, a long phone call that continues without meaning is always unanswered.
That's why we made eye contact.
Since when has my time with you grown?
Hey, my feelings are always like that, swaying.
Because I keep thinking about you all the time.
I'm thinking about what I should do in the future.
How about you? I want you to tell me.
To you, who is important to me.
Thank you very much.
I'm Oguri Yui of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
These feelings I gathered up until the last second
Every day that has piled up does not betray you
The dazzling sunshine turns into a sunset
It's shining on the time of youth that will never be repeated. It's shining on the time of youth that will never be repeated.
I love it when I chase your eyes that chase my dreams straight ahead
I want to cherish being with you now
Tears and smiles are proof that my tears and smiles have become vain
I'm proud of living with you like that
I'm always proud of you
Thank you very much.
I'm Oda Erina of akb48. Thank you for having me.
I wonder where you are and what you are doing, as you read this letter with your back to me.
I'm fifteen years old and I have a problem that I can't tell anyone about.
If it's a letter I'm writing 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 now in pain.
Thank you very much.
AKB48, I'm Hatsuka Utada. Thank you for having me.
The sunset we saw on the crossing bridge, I loved you so much.
It was beautiful there, wasn't it? You said you wanted to live here.
You came all the way to this city by train.
Even now, I can't forget those days and I'm still alive.
Even now, I pray for you to come to Yagmo Shrine.
If only one of my wishes could come true, I'd like to go back to those days.
The people of this city, who said they loved you, are still passing me by today.
The wide sky and the distant mountains, the streets we walked together.
The sunset is beautiful in this city.
Thank you very much!
AKB48, I'm Yoka Michiiri. Nice to meet you!
Before you know it, a quirk that you can't hide has become ingrained in you.
Would you rather kill me than have someone take you?
Sleeping and hiding, a regular waterfall, soaring and swaying.
Beyond my shoulders, you, the mountains are burning.
Is it okay no matter what? I want to pass through the blazing fire and overcome it with you.
A picture of my thoughts.
Thank you very much.
This is Hat Line from AKB48. thank you.
In the dazzling morning, you smile and open the window.
Tell me about the beginning of the future I'm in.
I'll go out to the usual city again.
We've been building up our days.
I'm collecting the spilled light and it's shining now.
Since some time ago, our dreams have changed.
Today, too, will be a precious memory someday.
So that the blue sky and the crying sky will be clear.
I want to tell you "thank you".
I'm looking at you, but...
My right hand is connected.
I'm telling you my honest feelings awkwardly.
Forever and ever and ever.
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 Hikaru Hirano of AKB48.
Thank you for your support.
What do you wish for? Tell me gently.
Even if you can't 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 looked up at the sky, feeling like I could go back tomorrow like I always do.
Don't say goodbye. I'm falling into a dream again tonight.
Thank you very much.
I'm Takai Sayaka of akb48.
Thank you for your support.
Thank you very much.
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 connected
Disappeared into the sky
And I was staring at them like this
I believe
Thank you very much!
A.k.a.b.48, I'm Serika from Nagano. Nice to meet you!
Thank you for watching.
We don't know why we meet each other.
We don't know when we meet each other.
Where have you been? Have you lived?
Under the distant sky, there are two stories.
You are the vertical thread and I am the horizontal thread.
One day, I may be able to warm you up.
You are the vertical thread and I am the horizontal thread.
People call meeting the right person "happiness".
Thank you very much.
I'm Nao Ohto of akb48. Thank you for having me.
I somehow remember that constellation I found in a park.
Even if we can't meet, I want to follow my memories and see the same happiness.
With that scent, my eyelids suddenly open.
I want to go to you. I want to run out of here 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.
I won't cry because of the beautiful sky I saw with you in the past.
Thank you very much.
I'm Yama Motoruka from akb48. Nice to meet you.
I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long
I had work all of a sudden again
I couldn't always be with you
I made you feel lonely
When we can't meet, I can hear it from my phone
Your voice is fading
When we meet for the first time in a while
Your smile takes my heart away
I realized you were in my heart
I love you, but I can't say it
I can be honest with you when you're smiling
I love you, but I can't say it
Thank you very much.
I'm Momoka Onishi of a.k.a.b48. Nice to meet you.
Love is over
It's sad but let's end it
There's no end
Love is over
There's no reason
There's only one
For you
Love is over
Young or old
You can say it with a smile
Because the time will come
Love is over
Don't cry, man
Forget about me as soon as possible
I will never forget you
No matter who hugs you
I will never forget you
Because I think it's our last love
Love is over
I can be your shield
Softly in your heart
Love is over
One last thing
Don't deceive yourself
Thank you very much.
I'm Hama Saina, aka "b48". Nice to meet you.
Yes, I wonder what you, who is reading this letter, are doing.
There is a seed of worry that I, number ten, cannot tell anyone.
If it is a letter addressed to myself in the future, I am sure it will be opened honestly.
I am about to lose, about to cry, about to disappear.
Whose words should I believe and walk on?
This one and only heart has been broken many times.
I am living in pain.
I am living now.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Nakano Ikumi. Nice to meet you.
Since the first night train from above got off,
Aomori station is covered in snow.
People returning to the north are silent,
Listening only to the sound of the sea.
I was alone, too.
I got on the telephone line,
Staring at the freezing ducks and crying.
The scenery of winter at Tsugaru Shrine.
Good-bye, my love. I'm going home.
The sound of the wind only shakes my heart.
Ah, scenery of winter at Tsugaru Shrine.
Thank you very much.
I'm Hitomi Kotone of AKB48.
How much can we do in a limited amount of time?
I wonder how much I can convey to you my feelings that cannot be put into words.
You erased the pain in my chest that I had been locking up for so long.
The reason I can laugh now is because you cried with me.
I'm not alone, you'll protect me, so I'll be strong, and I won't be afraid of anything anymore.
Time is soothing, it passes with pain, and the sunlight gently shines on it.
Because you're not alone, because I'll protect you, because I want to see your smiling face.
Time is soothing, it passes with pain, and the sunlight gently shines on it.
Thank you very much.
A.K.A.B48, I'm Hieno Okumoto. Nice to meet you.
I'm going to listen to my favorite song by myself
Olivia will comfort my lonely heart
Jasmine tea is a medicine that invites you to sleep
I want to end my day like myself
When we met on a night like this
I didn't think this day would come
Making things better
No, it's just that time has passed
You were exhausted
You loved my illusion
When we met on a night like this
I didn't think this day would come
Making things better
No, it's just that time has passed
over and over again
You were exhausted
Did you love my illusion?
I'm AKB48's Starmew. Nice to meet you.
Without saying anything, it passed by.
Rain falls on this city.
Wrapped in a little regret and sin.
I swore not to cry and time passed.
Without noticing my aching heart, I became alone.
In my memories, we can live forever.
Your voice still echoes in my heart.
It's a shadow of love wandering.
You cried alone.
I couldn't see you at that time.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Gyouten Irina. 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 leaf and a swimsuit.
I hope your cute light purple dream will come true.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my endless waves, which will one day bind me, will stop properly.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48 Airi Rissen. Nice to meet you!
Let's take a picture together
of this nostalgic scenery
I want you to look at me in the same pose as you did that day
I look up at the blue sky
The clouds drift by on their own
There are beautiful things far away, that's why they're beautiful
I'm glad I came here with you, just like we promised
If these feelings I have for you aren't love
Then I don't know what love is
With love, I'll accept this bouquet, even if it's too much
Don't ask me why, okay?
Just for now, forget everything and don't laugh
Accept me, don't be shy
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Kaoharu Misaki. Nice to meet you.
When I wake up, I'm always in the same scenery.
I can't even see the important things.
You taught me the meaning of life and joy.
I feel like I can say "maybe it's okay".
I want to see you right now, with that smile of yours.
I want everything that surrounds you to be filled with kindness.
I won't lose my way and keep loving you.
I'll always be by your side.
Thank you very much.
I'm Rei Fujizono of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
The hill road continues in the open sky.
The figure behind me becomes smaller.
Without being able to find gentle words,
I kept waving my cold hand.
Someday we will all set off
and walk 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.
So, AKB48 Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round, Day 2, last teammate, 28 singers have finished singing.
How was it?
It was a tremendous volume.
Yes, it was.
But, you know, from a familiar eye, it's not a song, right?
Well, people who have their mouths wide open can sing quite loudly.
Ah, yes, you're trying to work on your voice.
So, Rissen and Airi-san?
Yes, Rissen.
You were the only one who had a tremendous volume.
Yes, that's right.
The moment the three judges started singing Rissen's song, everyone turned their heads.
Ah, yes, that's right.
They did.
They were conscious of it.
Please don't film me again.
So, how was it for you, judges?
Mr. Yoshima.
Well, as I mentioned earlier about Yoshimasa Park,
I was paying attention to Yuyo Yokoyama.
She sang "Cry While Smiling" and "Solo".
She has a strong personality, doesn't she?
So, I want her to make her own songs and sing them.
I want her to build her own world.
Also, Airi Oda.
As I mentioned earlier, she joined us as a member.
I've always wanted her to punch more and more.
I want her to break through something.
She has a good personality, too.
So, I want her to hold back a little.
You know, there are parts where you get numb just by singing.
So, I want her to sing more rustic songs.
She said it today, didn't she?
She did.
So, how about you, Mr. Sugata?
Well, Mr. Oda was good.
He was good from the beginning.
From the first word of the song.
And Mr. Rissen.
Mr. Rissen, too.
I feel like you took everything away.
But I think this group has a lot of people who can speak quickly.
It's a judging process where you look at singing ability.
And you look at pitch and rhythm and stuff like that.
It's bad, but I feel like there were a lot of people who could convey something.
It was hard for me to score them.
Should I score them?
No, but...
There were a lot of things like that.
How about you, Mr. Sato?
Yes.
It was really interesting to listen to this team.
It felt like I was watching a show.
I enjoyed it.
It's a judging process, so you look at pitch and stuff like that.
I thought it was really interesting.
Mr. Rissen's piano sound is so small that it's hard to hear it on the monitor.
I'd like to hear it live.
I wanted to hear Utada's flute.
Me, too!
I'm glad.
I've never been to Canada.
I've been to Canada once.
I'd like you to play Hatz's flute.
I'd like you to play it.
Now, the second round of judging is all over.
I'd like to announce the second-highest 20 members.
The members who are in the second-highest 20 may advance to the finals.
The first day of the qualifying round, the first- highest 20 and the first-highest 40 members will advance to the finals.
Yes.
After this announcement, we will announce the second- highest 20 members of today.
Who will it be?
Please watch this announcement during the collection.
The top 20 singers from the AKB48 and SKE48 who participated in the second day of the qualifying round will be announced.
The top 20 singers who will be announced are the top 20 singers who have been evaluated today and are candidates for finalists.
The top 15 singers who participated in the second day of the qualifying round and the top 20 singers who participated in the second day of the qualifying round will be finalized.
In addition to that, judges will recommend about five singers.
Yes.
I'm sure they're excited.
I'm sure SKE was tweeting about it.
Morita.
Yes.
Susuran, too.
Morita, too.
I'm sure they're tweeting about it.
I'm sure they're excited.
Yes.
Then...
Shall we announce it?
Yes.
Let's announce it.
Yes.
I will announce it from today's top 20.
Now, it's in the 20th place, but first of all, there are three people in the 18th place.
I'd like to introduce you.

And that's it for this round.
How do you feel about this result, Mr. Ushimasa?
Well, you know...
I thought we were pretty even.
I thought I was the only one who chose the wrong person.
If Shirai sang one more song, I might have made it.
And even if Mr. Ohtake made it to the best 10, I don't think he would have made it.
I'm sorry about the previous and subsequent scores, but...
- It could have been worse. - It could have been worse.
How about you, Mr. Sogawa?
I agree with you.
The consistency of our scores is getting worse and worse.
Maybe we shouldn't have done it on the second day.
We should have done it on the first day.
Maybe we should have done it on the second day.
It must have been tough for you, Mr. Sato.
I think we were just a little bit ahead of each other.
That's right.
Is there anyone you would like to see move up?
Let's see...
I think I liked Mr. Shiraiki's singing voice, too.
It left an impression on me.
I see.
All right, let's move on to the best 10.
We'll announce the top 10 first.
There are two people in the top 10.
I'll announce the top 9 first.
In 9th place, AKB48...
YAHAGI MOEKA.
9th place, AKB48... YOKOYAMA YUI.
8th place, SKE48... TAKAYANAGI AKANE.
6th place, AKB48... UTADA HATSUKA.
6th place, AKB48... YOKOYAMA YUI.

How did you like it?
It was a very decent performance.
Mr. Okada's presence was excellent, so I think this result is certain.
Mr. Rissen and Mr. Oda also showed an amazing performance.
I thought it was decent.
How about you, Mr. Zoha?
Yes, it was decent.
But I'm glad that I was one of the finalists.
Yes, you were one of the finalists.
How about you, Mr. Yoshimatsu?
As I said before,
I'm looking forward to seeing how far Mr. Oda and Mr. Okada will go.
I think there is a chance for Mr. Oda and Mr. Okada to show off their skills.
If they make it to the final, they will show off their skills on New Year's Day.
Yes, it's January 11th.
Mr. Okada is training hard.
So, these are the finalists.
These are the finalists.
Let's check again.
These are the finalists.
Let me explain again.
These finalists and the top 20 finalists will go to the final.
The top 15 finalists will go to the final without any conditions.
The top 5 finalists will be recommended by the judges.
It's hard to be one of the top 20 finalists.
Let's check again.
These finalists and the top 15 finalists will go to the final.
The top 5 finalists will be recommended by the judges.
Even if they make it to the final, there is a chance for them to lose.
It's like baseball.
Even if they make it to the final, there is a chance for them to lose.
It's like baseball.
Anyone else?
Mr. Akashi.
Mr. Shiroma.
Mr. Shiroma is one of the top 20 finalists.
He was one of the top 20 finalists.
Some fans may have complaints about the order of the finalists.
It's all fate.
Anyone else?
I'm curious about Riko Sugawara.
How about you, Sugawara?
I feel like your personality is different.
I feel like you've been saying a lot of things.
Even if you didn't make it here last night, you might have made it here today.
- That's possible. - It's fate, isn't it?
That's right.
So, out of these 40 contestants,
- the final 15 will be decided. - The final 15.
- And 5 more to go. - That's right.
- Yes.
- So, you'll be choosing 5 more contestants. - It's my last job.
- It's your last job. - It's time for me to go home.
- No, no, no. - What's wrong with you?
First of all, who will advance to the finals?
We'll be showing you a digest of the contestants who made it out of the first day of the qualifier.
- Please take a look. - Yes.

Along with that scent, there are lots of fireworks ano kaori to tomo ni hanabi ga bakkari

It's pitch black and I can't see anything makura de nani mo mienai
It's okay even if you're scared.
As I promised, I'll be with you as I promised.
I'm really glad to be here.

It may be an exaggeration, but the reason for accepting it is an exaggeration, but the reason for accepting it is
Don't ask me, just forget everything for now, don't laugh, accept it, and don't be embarrassed.

Why, even after half a year has passed since we met, you still haven't even held my hand. I will follow you I want to follow you. I will follow you. You're a nice person, even if you're a bit timid.
I will follow you
The red sweet bisque that bloomed in the crevice of my heart
More than anyone I've met until today
You, you don't cry, do you?
Try to remember
I, I may be clumsy
But now I want to accept everything
That's why I'm here, I will stay with you
No matter what happens, even if I stumble, even if I get lost
Baby, you know, I will stay with you
No matter what darkness there is, I'll be right next to you
While struggling to draw tomorrow
Now into my dream
The shapeless radiance
Gently, gently
Embracing it, I move forward
On a winter night when I spread my low clouds
You died like a dream
"Let's go to the sea again this year," "Let's watch a lot of movies," I promised you, didn't I?
You, I promised you, didn't I? I want to see you
You are my end and I am your beginning
One day I might warm someone up and sell them
Even now, I look up at the sky like it's about to cry and think of you
Ah, ah, ahoy, even on nights without you, it's still pitch black
I won't cry anymore, because you're doing your best, because you're getting stronger
I want to go to you, I want to run to you right now
Even if it gets dark and you can't see anything, even if you're scared, it's okay
Your cute light purple eyes, I hope your endless dream will end properly
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years
Look, look at your feet, this is the path you will walk
Look, look ahead, that is your future
I love your eyes that chase your dream straight ahead
Being with you like that, I want to cherish it now
Tears and smiles are proof that you've become reckless
If you make up for love, it'll be goodbye
But don't forget, even for a woman like me
You're too kind, you're like a child
Tomorrow we'll be strangers, but...
Thank you for waiting.

It's impossible for them to turn things around.
So...
How do you feel?
I'm sorry.
Why do we have to apologize?
We've been serious about this for 2 days.
Some of you may not agree with us.
But we've seen a lot of people agree with us.
We were surprised to see 20 people advance to the finals.
We don't know what will happen to them.
It's a tough world.
It's exciting.
We don't know what will happen to them.
We don't know what will happen.
We can't wait to see what will happen in the finals.
How do you feel, OKADA?
It's a high level.
We were surprised to see 20 people advance to the finals.
But I can't help it because I'm convinced that I'm in the top 10.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Sato-san, what do you think?
Not all of the points are one point each, but it was a very high-level fight.
No matter where I heard it, I thought there were people who sang wonderful singing voices.
Yes, thank you very much.
Now, let's move on to the recommendation frame.
I would like to announce the recommendation frame of the judges.
I will announce the six members chosen by the judges.
Now, I will announce the recommendation frame of the judges.
Six members have been selected.
Now, the first person in the recommendation frame.
nmb48 akashi natsuko
Next, the second person.
stu48 kadowaki miuna
Next, the third person.
akb48 ootake hitomi
The fourth person.
akb48 yahagi moeka
The fifth person.
ska48 shirayuki kohaku
And finally, the sixth person.
nmb48 shiroma mil
These are the members.
Let's ask the sensei about this.
Let's start with Sato-san.
How do you feel about this sensei?
I was really worried about this.
I was really thinking about what to do.
Of course, I consulted with the sensei and the two of you.
But I want to see this person again.
Is there anyone in particular you were particularly interested in?
Well, Shirama-san...
Oh, Shiroma-san.
Shiroma-san and Miru-san are very nice.
They left an impression on me.
And Shirayuki-san, too.
I honestly wanted to see them again.
Shiroma-san.
How about you, Sobaru-san?
Well, there's only about a month left until the main line.
So I considered how much growth I could see during that time.
For example, I thought about what would happen if a researcher like Yahagi-san tried really hard.
That's one of the reasons I chose her.
Thank you.
How about you, Yoshimatsu-san?
Well, since you two chose her last...
I'm sorry.
I was trying to avoid responsibility.
No, no.
Well, I mean, yesterday...
Yesterday, we had a lot of votes.
It was low at first.
There are people who set it a little low.
And that person...
It's like they're reviving it in a hurry.
Shiroma-san might be like that.
NMB was really fast.
That's one of the reasons.
And like you said, it's only about a month.
Aren't you going to do it with the same song?
Are you going to do it with the same song?
Oh, I see.
That's why I wanted to listen to a different song.
If you're watching right now...
What we said earlier...
I want to make it an up-tempo song.
I feel like I chose a member who expects that kind of growth.
But if you think this song is the best...
You want to erase it again, don't you?
Yes, of course.
Yes.
I think so.
No, no, this is tough.
Choosing this song...
It's like it's been scraped off.
That's what I'm thinking about.
But it's fun.
Life isn't fun.
Maybe you'll see a great stage next year.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Is it the last 21 people?
21 people?
Will it come out?
Yes, let's watch it again.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Please sing it.
Here?
Why do you decide your singing ability and practice singing?
In the actual performance.
You don't know if you'll sing it again or not.
That's right.
What's the sweet pea rate?
In terms of song order.
What did you sing?
It's like a song-song competition.
Erena Sakamoto also sang "Watarase Bridge", right?
That's right.
That's how it is.
Yes.
And if you don't mind, I'd like you to play the piano next year.
There were 155 people who asked me to play the piano.
Leave it to me.
You said it.
I wonder if I can play it.
Thank you in advance.
The sound of the piano is loud.
Today, we received a lot of messages from fans on Twitter.
Are there any?
I'm glad I was chosen by Natsu and Mirurun for the judging recommendation frame.
Yes, we're happy about it.
That's right.
Shirayuki is looking at the book.
He's looking at it.
What color of hair will he have?
I see.
I don't know.
I think the members were also looking at it with a lot of tension.
The same members...
I'm Rissen and Hashimoto.
Shirayuki, you were chosen, right?
Yes, I was.
Shirayuki, what song did you sing?
"Superfly"?
"Superfly".
Or ballads.
I'd like to ask you about that.
This is the final round of the AKB48 Group Singers' No. 1 Deciding Round.
We've been here for two days.
It's over now.
Thank you for your hard work, judges.
Thank you for your hard work.
No, no, no.
The judges are the most tired.
Thank you for your hard work, judges.
There are 21 members who have decided to enter the final round.
Next January 11th, AKASAKA ACT THEATER will hold the final round.
The final round will be a full band live singing.
The winner will receive an original solo song produced by Yasushi Akimoto.
The final round will be broadcast live on CBS Channel 1.
The final round will be free of charge.
Tickets will not be sold.
For more information about how to enter the final round, please visit our website.
Yes.
So, once again...
It's January 11th, after all.
Yes.
Judges, do you have any advice or comments for the final round?
Advice...
For the sake of the members who have been eliminated here,
even if you have one month,
for example, even if you choose today,
if you stretch your butt a little more like this...
I have various complaints about this, too.
I want you to finish it perfectly like this.
Next time, the audience will come in and sing.
At that time, I think you will show your true ability.
Yes.
In that case...
That's where the true king will be decided.
Don't put too much pressure on yourself.
Have fun and...
Like Okada just said...
It's a hint, but...
I want you to show your true ability and sing.
Also, singing in a full band may be good for you.
It may improve you.
Yes. How about you two, Soga-san?
Well...
I think it's better to show your individuality more and more.
As I said earlier,
I think it would be good if everyone thought about what to do with what they have.
I see.
Yes.
That's all for today.
"AQB48 Group Singer Song No. 1" has been decided!
It was a live broadcast of the preliminary round.
It's about time to say goodbye.
Thank you for joining us for two days.
See you in the finals!
Thank you!
