AISubs v3.4
Now, the first round of the final round of the second AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round has begun.
We will broadcast it live from the TVS-G studio!
Thank you for having me. I'm Yusuke Wagayu, and I'll be your host for today as well.
And...
I'm Yumiko Kobayashi, and I'll be your host for today as well.
Thank you for having me.
So, this is the second time for us to have a battle to decide who is the most charming singer in the AKB48 group.
Yes, and we have 135 candidates for this battle.
Out of them, 20 will advance to the finals.
The qualifiers will be held for today, tomorrow, and two days apart.
Mr. Sawaga, could you tell us about the highlights of this second battle?
First of all, we haven't announced the winner of all battles yet.
That's right.
Ms. Kano Nojima of AKB48 is very charming in her musical-like songs like "Anayuki".
She was the champion of AKB48, but she's not participating in this battle.
That's right.
So, we don't know what will happen next.
And there are quite a lot of researchers participating in this battle.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who don't know about AKB48 yet.
So, we'd like you to find out about AKB48 while participating in this battle.
Also, Ms. Minami Minegishi of AKB48 is participating in this battle for the first time.
That's right.
That's what I heard.
I wonder if she'll be okay.
If it's about Ms. Minegishi, there's a possibility that she'll lose.
She has a lot of energy.
Yes.
Please look forward to it.
Yes.
Now, let's introduce the judges who will be judging this time.
First of all, we offer songs to many artists such as NOGIZAKA46 and YUSUKE.
In addition, in Ms. Kuwata Keisuke's live performance, we have singer-songwriter Mr. Sato Kahun who is participating as a chorus.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Next, we have Ms. Risa Uehara who has been playing the role of an older sister of a band for seven years with NHK's program "Okaa-san", which focuses on musicals in music college.
Thank you for your cooperation.
And finally, we have Mr. Yurai Sato, a keyboardist who has been working as a bandmaster in the final competition and finalist live performances.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Now, we will have the three of you in charge of qualifying and judging.
Thank you for your cooperation.
By the way, Mr. Kahun, have you ever judged before?
No, it's my first experience and I'm most excited about it.
That's right.
I have a great sense of tension.
When I think about the future activities of the members, I get excited.
I have a great sense of tension.
It's been a long time, so you should relax to some extent.
It's getting crazy in the second half.
I understand.
How about you, Ms. Uehara?
I've never judged before, so I think I'm more nervous than you are.
Are you nervous?
I used to sing in college, but I've never judged before.
I don't think I'm in a position to do that.
I'll do my best to overcome this obstacle.
Thank you for your cooperation.
If you're worried about anything, it's your second time.
Thank you for your cooperation.
What kind of judging will you have this time?
Oh, judging?
Yes.
Is it 100 people?
Yes.
It's 135 people.
You said that last time, too.
That's right.
I tried it last time and I'm going to judge it again this time.
I'll give you some points.
First of all, I like the pitch and rhythm.
I like technical things like that.
And I like your performance.
I like where you look when you sing.
And...
No, no, no.
Are you choosing words?
You've been judging for two days and eight hours for such a long time.
Why did you accept it for the second time?
Thank you very much.
I'm looking forward to receiving this kind of compensation.
Yes, we'd like you to judge.
Please tell us the rules of this preliminary judging.
Yes.
Judges will watch each group's virtual video and judge.
Today's live broadcast has 67 people of stu48, ska48, hkt48, and ngt48.
Tomorrow's live broadcast will have 68 people of akb48 and nmb48.
Judges will be judged for 100 points each and a total of 300 points each.
Based on this rating, today's live broadcast will have 20 people in the top 20 and tomorrow's live broadcast will also have 20 people in the top 20.
Through these two days of preliminary judging, today and tomorrow's live broadcast will have 40 people in the top 15.
On October 31st, they will advance to the final tournament held at TBS's Akasaka Act Theater.
As for the remaining five people, judges will consult and decide on their own.
Can I confirm one thing?
Yes.
You all have a schedule for the day of the final tournament, right?
Yes.
There were people who couldn't participate in the final tournament.
Yes.
Judges may not know their names, but there were people who couldn't participate in the final tournament.
This time it's okay.
Yes.
And for the second time in this tournament, we have prepared a wonderful product for the winners.
Please.
The winner will receive an original solo song produced by Yasushi Akimoto.
It's a solo song.
This is where you get excited.
Finally, in the final tournament, the finalist who remains in the top 8 will have a full band live performance.
We did it last time and it was great.
Yes, thank you.
Oh, Yudai-san is here.
Oh, I'm Banmasu.
I'll do my best again this time.
Yes, thank you.
Now, once again...
Well, I asked Yudai-san earlier...
What do you think of Kafuu-san's judging points?
Well, I'm also singing now, so first of all, the way my voice comes out...
When I'm singing without thinking about it, I think it's most important that my voice comes out properly.
Also, I'd like to see if the words are clear or if it's a song that's transmitted.
Yes, thank you.
What about you, Uehara-san?
Well, I used to take a musical course, so I'd like to see how you sing and whether you enjoy singing.
Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
Now, let's get started.
Yes.
I'd like to move on to singing judging.
Yes.
First of all, it will be the judging of 18 members of STU48.
Viewers, please give us your impressions and opinions of the live broadcast, and please tweet us with the hashtag #akb48singingpowerno.1 determination line.
Please do.
Now, let's get started.
This is the singing judging of STU48.
Please proceed.
Thank you for watching.
I'm Chiha Ishida of STU48. Thank you for watching.
On the way back home, we joked around as we walked.
For no reason at all, I made you angry.
I wanted to see all kinds of faces of yours.
Your big eyes and your voice like you were about to cry
still tighten up my heart.
As we passed by each other, I ran after you.
I was looking for something that wouldn't change.
I won't forget you from that day.
I have feelings that transcend time.
I want to see you right now.
I was looking for something I couldn't lose.
I won't forget you of that day.
I have feelings that transcend time.
I want to see you right now.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kanon Esagai of STU48. Nice to meet you.
The sunset we saw on the bus, you said you loved it
"It's beautiful here, isn't it?" you said you wanted to live here
On the train, you came all the way here to see me
Even now, I can't forget those days and I'm still alive
Even now, I still pray for you every time I visit a shrine
If my wish could come true, I'd like to go back to those days
The cityscape I said I liked will fade away today as well
A wide sky and distant mountains, the streets we walked together
A city with beautiful sunset
My name is Imomura Mitsuki and I play the role of STU48.
We closed the door of our room
and said goodbye to our memories
Since then, half a year has passed and it's finally over
I'm busy every day
I'm walking my own new life
I want to see you, I want to see you
On sleepless nights, I think of your warmth, that warmth
I gently close my eyes and whisper "I love you"
I love you
Thank you very much!
I'm Ohtani Marina from st.quartet. Thank you!
The strength of the wind shook my heart a little too much
You looked at me seriously and I missed you
I pretended to be pitiful in the days of turning over
But the light of hope is shining in front of me all the time
I'm happy
The straw hat you're wearing looks like a swaying marigold
The sky was still blue in summer
The love of that day when we laughed and said how nostalgic it was
"Don't leave me anymore" you looked at me with tears in your eyes
I won't let you go with a gentle hug like a cloud
Ah, "I love you" isn't enough so I'll kiss you
Because the clouds will leave their shadows
Forever and ever, I won't let you go like this
I'm Estee Faute and I'm Okii Yuka. Thank you for having me.
Your back is flying in the sky, more free than clouds
Even square letters lined up in your notebook seemed like a light that illuminated everything
I didn't know the feeling of love
This time that will never come back
Taught me the meaning of love
The days I spent with you, I'll burn them in my heart
So that it's okay even if I don't remember
Even if I like someone else someday
You are always special and important
Again, this season goes around
Thank you very much.
My name is Kaiko Kawa of stu48.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, why do you look so sad?
Even though the sky is so bright and blue
Since when did I start holding hands with you?
You won't hold me back, will you?
If I could say anything, would I be able to go back to that day?
Even if my heart is filled with only anxiety
Even if I cry, even if I cry, won't you disappear?
I love you, I love you, I need you
I want you to love me forever
Just like back then
Even if it's a wish that won't come true
Will these feelings always reach your heart?
I love you, I love you, I need you
Why did you steal only my heart?
If it's a wish that won't come true
Tell me...
...goodbye
Thank you very much!
I'm Kada Aki Miuna of ST48.
Thank you very much!
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?
It doesn't seem like it, and it might not be like it.
I can't help it if you're alone,
We said we weren't afraid of each other, didn't we?
You don't cry, do you?
Try to remember.
I'm clumsy, but now I want to accept everything.
That's why I'm here.
I will stay with you.
No matter what happens and we stumble and get lost.
Baby you know I will stay with you.
No matter what darkness there is, you know I will stay with you.
You know I will stay with you.
Thank you very much!
I'm Miyu Sakaki of stu48. Thank you for having me.
Miyu Sakaki of stu48. Thank you for having me.
I looked up at the sky, feeling like I could go back tomorrow as usual. I didn't say anything, and tonight I'll fall into my dreams again. Sayonara wa iwanai. Nde ite konya mo yume no naka e ochite yuku
Thank you very much!
I'm S.T.40 and I'm Soraha Shinano. Nice to meet you!

STU48's "Shintai no naka" Thank you in advance.

Ah, somewhere in Japan there's someone waiting for me
Every day, I set off on a journey, looking for sunsets, taking with me the song I listened to on my mother's back.
There's someone waiting for me.
Every day, as I set out on a journey and search for happiness, I remembered the songs I sang when I was a child.
Along the way.
Thank you very much.
My name is Imiko Taki of STU48. Nice to meet you.
Imiko Taki of STU48.
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 Mizuriwa.
I'll give you a bud, a garden leaf, and a swimsuit.
I hope your faintly colored and cute 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 properly end.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
My name is Mahina Taniguchi of st.48.
Thank you for your support.
If my wish could come true
Survive your long-distance breath and turn into roses
On days when we can't meet, let's decorate it above the room.
thinking of you
Darling, Ai Wongchun, I miss you
I feel like I'm about to run into a thrilling love
stand still like a lost child
I want to deliver me right away
I turned the dial, stopped.
I Just Bowman, Foley Love
Darling, Wongchun, right now
I want to hear your voice
Even if I hold my cheeks with both hands
I hate the night that touches my cheeks
I turned the dial, stopped.
I Just Bowman, Foley Love
I turned the dial, stopped.
Fall in love
Thank you very much.
I'm Toro Berry of STU48. 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
It's because of the winter when we were connected
I was staring at the sky
So it wouldn't disappear
I believe
My name is Mai Nakamura of stu48.
Thank you for your support.
Take me to the sea on a spring-colored train.
I'll gently snuggle into your shirt that smells like cigarettes.
Why even after half a year has passed since the day we met
You don't even hold my hand.
I will follow you I want to follow you
I will follow you even though I'm a little timid.
The red sweet pea that bloomed on the shore of my heart
I love you more than anyone I've ever met, suki yo kyou made atta dareyori
I will follow you I like the way you're going Anata no ikikata ga suki kono mama
I can't go home, I can't go home, I can't go home kaerenai kaerenai
The day spring comes to my heart, kokoro ni haru ga kita hi wa
red sweet pea akai suiito pii
thank you very much!
My name is Hyodo Aoi and I play the piano for stu48.
The first time we met here was two months ago.
You didn't even know how to kiss me, my first sweet girlfriend.
You gently pointed out to me last night,
asking me "what day is it today?"
I was a little confused, but I answered you.
You answered me with a smile, saying it was your ex- boyfriend's birthday.
Your smile tickles me, and it makes me want to cover my ears.
The memories of those three years you spent with him
still haven't come true for me.
But even though I love you so much,
there are too many misunderstandings.
Instead of repeating this any longer,
until your heart responds,
we'd better not see each other.
Whether it's tomorrow or five years from now,
I'll be waiting for you right here.
Let's make a promise,
and tie a red thread around our hearts.
Thank you very much!
I'm STU48's Arisa Mineoshi.
Thank you for having me.

Thank you for listening!
The snow began to fall, erasing my footprints.
In this pure white world, I'm all alone.
The wind whispers in my heart,
At this rate, it won't work.
I was confused and hurt. I couldn't tell anyone about it.
I was worried about it, but I should stop now.
I'll show you who I really am.
I'll be myself as I am.
I'm not afraid of anything.
Blowing in the wind, I'm not cold at all.
Thank you very much.
My name is Honoka Iyano of Estee Lawtay and I'm looking forward to working with you.

Well, first of all, we had a singing evaluation of 18 members of stu48.
So, how was it, Mr. Kabu?
Yes, well...
First of all, like this...
Overall?
Overall, I'm doing this evaluation for the first time in my life.
It's because I've started doing something amazing.
It's amazing...
That's what I thought.
But I was surprised that each of them had so many personalities.
Some of them sang very well.
Some of them made me want to ask more.
It was very interesting.
Can I ask you?
Oh, really?
Oh, can I say my name?
Personally, the first top bopper, Chiho Ishida.
Her voice quality is very cute.
I wanted to see her singing live by herself.
That's what I thought.
Thank you very much.
How about you, Ms. Uihara?
Yes.
Personally, I think Ms. Arisa Minyoshi's voice is very cute.
It's like an anime song.
I felt like she was suitable for being a voice actress.
Also, just watching her made me happy.
Her choreography is very interesting.
Yes, her choreography is very interesting.
I could feel her happy feelings.
Thank you very much.
How about you, Mr. Yudai?
Yes.
I had a chance to judge them last time.
Some of them said it was their second time.
I could see their growth.
Sometimes, I felt happy about it.
For example, who did you like?
There were many of them.
But I liked the middle range voice.
For example, Ms. Taniguchi.
Yes, Ms. Taniguchi.
I don't think there are many middle range voice actresses.
But I like them.
Of course, there are many more.
That's right.
That's right. There are many more.
Let's check out the comments from viewers on Twitter.
Here is their first comment.
Ms. Yano is one of the best voice actresses in Seto Inland.
She is one of the best voice actresses in Seto Inland.
She finished scoring last time.
She finished 7th last time.
Yes, she did.
What did you think of her, Ms. Yano?
Did you notice any changes?
First of all...
Her courage.
I could feel that she was very confident.
Also, technically speaking...
Her dynamics are...
This is a recorded sound.
But you can feel her dynamics through headphones.
There is a three-dimensional effect.
It's weird for me to say this, but...
She has grown up.
They are nodding their heads.
Did you notice anything?
What about you, Mr. Kafu?
Yes, she was very ambitious.
I could feel her emotions through her singing.
I think it was good.
Let's check out another comment.
Ari-chan, it's pretty good, isn't it? I think it will come.
The song selection was perfect, too.
While watching it, Kobayashi-san said, "It's like her song."
I thought it was my song.
Thank you for your comments.
Now, let's go back to the singer screening.
Next is "escape 48".
This is a singer screening for 16 people.
We'll be right back.
I'm Ishiguro Yuzuki from SKE48. Thank you for having me.
The wind's strength is a little too much for my heart to handle
I stare at you seriously and miss you
I pretend to be pitiful in the days of turning back
I tried to cover it up, but the light of hope
Is always shining in front of me
I'm happy
You in a straw hat that looks like a swaying marigold
That was when the sky was still blue
The love of that day when we laughed and said we missed each other
Don't leave me anymore
I stare at you with tears in my eyes
With kindness like a cloud, I hold you tight and don't let you go
Ah, "I love you" isn't enough, so I kiss you
Because clouds still leave their shadows
Forever and ever, I won't let you go
Thank you very much.
I'm Yoshino Kitagawa from sk48.
Thank you for having me.
You look sad, your voice disappears far, far away
I wonder if you're somewhere in this sky
At the end of summer, we escaped together
That constellation we found in this park
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, the fireworks suddenly open
I want to go to you
I want to run away 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 it's the same beautiful sky I saw with you a long time ago
Thank you very much!
I'm SKE48's Sugiha Maika. Nice to meet you!
Hey, why do you look so sad as you look down?
Even though the sky is so bright and blue
Since when did I start holding hands with you?
You won't hold me back, will you?
What did you say to me?
Can we go back to those days?
My heart is filled with anxiety
Even if I cry, even if I cry, you won't disappear?
I love you, I love you, I need you
I want to be loved forever
Even if my wish won't come true like that time
Are these feelings always reaching your heart?
I love you, I love you, I need you
Why did you take away only my heart?
If it's a wish that won't come true
Tell me goodbye
Thank you very much.
I'm Yamauchi Suzuran of SK48. Nice to meet you.
Sorry for making you wait
I had work again all of a sudden
I couldn't be with you all the time
Sorry for making you feel lonely
When we can't meet, I can hear it from my phone
Your voice is hoarse
When we meet for the first time in a while
Your smile takes my heart away
I realized that you are in my heart
I love you, but I can't say it
I can be honest with you when you are smiling
I love you, but I can't say it
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48's EGO YUNA. Nice to meet you.
Your back, running on the ground,
Floated in the sky, freer than clouds.
Even the letters lined up in my notebook
Seemed like a light that illuminated everything.
I didn't know the feeling of love,
And this time that will never come back
Taught me its meaning.
I'll engrave the days I spent with you in my heart,
So that it's okay even if I don't remember.
Even if I fall in love with someone else someday,
You'll always be special and precious to me,
And this season will go around again.
Thank you very much.
I'm SK48's Kotono Shirai.
Thank you for having me.
I can't get a hold of anything

I want to see you, but I can't
My heart is racing

I like you
I love you

I'm Akane Takayanagi of the S.K.E. court party. Nice to meet you!
How are you doing?
Did you meet someone important?
Will your dream come true someday?
At the end of this road
Do you remember?
The swaying wheat field
I kept searching for the sky along the horizon
Struggling to picture tomorrow
Now into my dream
The shapeless shine
Gently, gently
Embracing it
Moving forward
Thank you very much.
I'm Sato Kaho of sk48. Nice to meet you.
Background word letter haikeigo no tegami A letter with background English
What am I doing now?
As a No. 10, I can't talk to anyone. There is a seed of worries.
There's something to worry about. Nayami no tane ga aru no desu that no one can talk about
If it's a letter to myself in the future,
I'm sure I can open it honestly
Right now, I'm about to lose, about to cry, about to disappear.
Who should I believe in? dare no kotoba wo shinji arukeba ī no Who should I believe in?

Thank you for having me.
When you are sad,
you open the cover of the river and graduate.
The man in the picture has kind eyes.
When I saw you in the city,
I couldn't see anything.
Because the face of your graduation picture
was still there.
I was washed away by the crowd and changed.
You...
...scolded me.
Don't forget how you lived back then.
You are my youth itself.
Thank you very much!
SK48, nice to meet you!
Even if ideal reality changes with a click of light,
we can't be Adam and Eve in a distance farther than Earth's Orion.
If only we could gently touch and heal that wound
that was left behind in the distant past.
Love will be the light that illuminates you
with overflowing feelings.
Even if I'm not there in the future you picture,
I'll gently hold you now.
I want to draw fate 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 SKE48 Ara's Himeka. Nice to meet you.
I've never thought of you as a friend.
Since the day we met, things have changed.
There are things that haven't changed, but there are things that haven't changed.
You and I have a lot of things.
Until we can't see each other on the hot way home,
I watched you until you became really small.
I loved you.
Even now.
Summer heat cuts my cheek.
As I age again, I will surely remember
your shadow and my words.
I love you.
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48 Kanon Ishikawa. Nice to meet you.
♪(piano sound)♪
I'll never forget the end of summer with you, my dreams for the future, and my big hopes.
Believing that we will meet again in August ten years from now, we will make the best memories.
We met at a random moment, at an intersection on the way home, and someone called out to me, "Let's go home together."
Although I looked embarrassed and hid my face with my bag, I was actually very, very happy.
Ah, the fireworks bloom beautifully in the night sky, making me feel a little sad. Ah, the wind flows as time passes.
We were happy, we had fun, and we had many adventures inside our secret base.
I'll never forget the end of summer, my dreams for the future, and my big hopes, and I'll believe that we'll meet again in August 10 years from now.
I knew that you were shouting "thank you" from the bottom of your heart until the end. It would be sad if you held back your tears and smiled.
Your memories, the best memories,
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48's Ayaka Okamoto. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for watching.
Children face the sky, spread out both hands, trying to catch birds, clouds, and even dreams.
Until yesterday, I didn't know anything about it.
I believed you could reach me with these fingers.
Beyond the sky and earth touching each other,
I'm calling travelers from the past.
For you, I'm just a passerby.
I'm just a passerby.
I'm just a passerby with sadness in my heart.
Thank you very much.
I'm Miharu Kawashima of SK48. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
The sunset we saw on the bridge we crossed.
You seemed to like it very much.
You said you wanted to live here
in a beautiful place.
You came all the way to this city
on a train.
Even now, I can't forget
those days and I'm still alive.
Even now, when I pray at Yagumo Shrine,
I pray for you.
If one of my wishes can come true,
I want to go back to those days.
The cityscape you said you liked
is still with me today.
The wide sky and the distant mountains
are the streets we walked together.
It's a city with beautiful sunsets.
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48 Shirai Ekino. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
Stretched shadows lined up on the sidewalk
Walking with you in the twilight
If I could hold your hand and stay by your side forever
I feel like crying
The wind is getting colder
I smell winter
I'm getting closer to you in this city
The season is coming
The first snow flower this year
We're looking at it together
At this time, happiness overflows
It's not sweet or weak
I still want to be with you forever
I honestly think so
The pure white snow flower falling in this city
I draw memories in our hearts
So I want to be with you forever
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48's Nakasu Kamiu. Nice to meet you.
You look depressed and your voice is fading away.
Somewhere in the sky far, far away, you must be there.
At the end of summer, we escaped from this park and found each other.
Do you remember that constellation?
Even if we can't meet, I want to follow my memories and see the same happiness.
With that scent, fireworks burst out.
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. I'm scared, but it's okay.
The countless starry sky is still here.
Don't cry. Because it was a beautiful sky I saw with you in the past.
Thank you very much!
Now, the singing examination of 16 members of ske48 has ended.
First of all, Uyara-san, how was it?
I really liked Yukino Shirai's "Snow Flower".
I personally loved it very much.
From the first phrase...
Yes, when you enter the song, I think it's very nice how you prepare for it and how you put in your emotions at that time.
It's pretty popular.
She's a researcher, isn't she?
Yes, she is.
Kocchan's older sister, right?
Her name is Kotono Shirai.
She's been in sk48 for a long time, but her older sister joined as a researcher.
I see.
Yes, that's right.
How about you, Yudai-san?
I got the impression that everyone is stable at that point.
Not just in the group, but in general.
Also, I was interested in Sato Okaho-chan.
I like her singing voice.
Also, there are some seniors who are stable.
Yes, like Suzuran who went to the final last time.
She knows how she sings.
How about you, Kasumu-san?
Well, vocalists have their own strengths.
Some vocalists have good pitches and rhythms, and some vocalists have technical strengths.
I thought there were various types of vocalists who bring in customers with their facial expressions and feelings.
In that sense, I felt that Fukai Negai-san's singing wasn't technical.
I felt that her feelings and expressions drew listeners in.
That's great. Thank you very much.
How about you, Konno-san?
Me?
Yes.
I like Takayanagi-san's singing.
Takayanagi-san.
She's amazing.
She can do anything!
I thought she was good.
When I was looking at Twitter earlier, I saw Tani Mari singing "Graduation Picture".
Did you change the lyrics?
No, I didn't.
Oh, I made a mistake.
She doesn't know what she's doing, so...
Oh, I made a mistake.
Well, that happens.
Okay, let's look at the comments posted on Twitter.
First of all, here it is.
Yuchi is good at this. Could it be...
I don't know the song.
Oh, you don't know it?
Yukino is a research student, but...
She likes this song.
Yukino's genre is "snow flower".
Yes.
Shall we look at one more comment?
The next one is...
Sato Kaho.
Sato Kaho was more of a righteous singer than I thought.
More than you thought?
What does that mean?
More than you thought.
Last song was "Letter", too.
Yes.
So...
Do you want me to read another one?
Yes.
We have time, so...
Akane puts her feelings into her song.
As expected of you.
Yes, Takaya Dagi.
Yes.
How was it, Takaya Dagi?
No, it's very...
The first word...
The first word of the word is pronounced very clearly.
So...
I could feel the lyrics very easily.
It was wonderful.
Yes.
And...
I have one thing to say about this competition.
I want you to praise the pianist.
All the time!
No mistake!
All the time!
One person...
One person?
It's the same person.
It's the same person, isn't it?
90% one person.
90% one person!
But you really are the MVP of this competition.
The pianist...
Playing many different songs in one day...
Yes.
I think it's amazing.
You match with the singer, don't you?
You match with me?
The way you match with me...
I think you've changed.
There's such a thing?
Yes.
You're a great pianist.
It was amazing.
Now, the first day of the qualifying round of singing test is about half over.
Thank you for your hard work, judges.
Thank you for your hard work.
Now, let's move on to the mid-term announcement.
Yes.
We will now collect the results of the singing test of STU48 and SKE48.
As soon as the collection is over, we will announce the top 10 at this point.
Yes.
By the way, Mr. Yudai...
Who do you think is in the top 10?
You're going to say that here, aren't you?
Well, it's not the score you gave me.
Well, on average...
Hmm...
Let's see...
It's a difficult question, isn't it?
Well, I think I know who it is.
It's a live show, but we'll wait for you.
Let's see...
I'm sure Nagi Takaya is one of them.
He said he's sure of it.
Well, who will remain?
We'll announce it in the middle of the first day of qualifying.
Who will remain in the top 10?
Please look forward to it!
Well, thank you for waiting.
The first half of the first day of the final round of AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Decision Battle has come to an end.

She's in the 4th place.
Let's see the top three.
Weekly announcement.
In the 3rd place...
stu48...
Mineyoshi Arisa!
She was singing her own song.
To be honest, I think I might be in the 1st place.
Yes, she is in the 3rd place.
Let's move on.
Here is the 2nd place.
In the 2nd place...
ske48...
Takayanagi Akane!
Akane is in the 2nd place.
I heard people on Twitter saying she was good.
She is in the 2nd place.
Here is the 1st place.
In the 1st place...
stu48...
Yano Honoka!
That's amazing!
Yes!
So, this is the result.
First of all,
Mr. Kafu,
how do you feel about this result?
Well,
I think that
the top five
are really close.
Yes, yes.
All of you were really wonderful,
so I feel that
it is a satisfactory result.
I see.
How about you?
By the way,
how about you,
Mr. Kado?
How do you feel about this result?
Well,
I think that
I did a good job
in both singing and dancing.
That's what I wrote in my memo.
Hahaha!
Well,
I think that
I could sing with all my body.
I think that's why
I got the score.
Yes.
How about you, Ms. Uehara?
Well,
I think that
you are one of the people
we mentioned earlier.
Yes, I think so.
Is there anyone
you were most interested in?
Well,
I was most interested in
No. 4.
He was No. 4.
He is a graduate student.
Yes, he is a graduate student.
He hasn't joined the school yet.
It's been less than a year.
That's amazing.
How about you, Mr. Yudai?
Well,
As I expected, the top singers sang as I expected.
As you said, Mr. Takagawa sang in the top ranks.
Of course, he sang very carefully.
That's great.
By the way, on Twitter,
Mr. Yano Honoka tweeted, "I'm most excited ever today."
He tweeted, "I'm in first place at this stage."
Mr. Yano, are you watching this?
By the way, Mr. Van Gaal, how do you feel about this result?
From now on, I will sing with Mr. Yano for the third and fourth times, and I want to see Mr. Shintani's growth.
Mr. Shintani's growth...
Mr. Shintani used to sing like a river, but now he can't sing anymore.
As a show that shows Mr. Shintani's growth, we will do our best.
Now, let's see what the viewers on Twitter said.
Everyone is excited.
Yucchi is in fourth place.
As expected of Yukino Shirai's reaction.
It was amazing.
Shall we continue?
We have time, so...
Ranran, is it here? I thought you'd go further, but it's a little frustrating.
What place was Suzuran in?
Sixth place.
How was Suzuran, Ms. Ueyara?
I liked it.
I thought it would be transmitted very straightforwardly, so I thought you would be in the top place.
It's in the top ten, so you have to be in the final 20th place.
Yes, there is still a second half.
Can we do one more?
Yes.
Let's go.
Mr. Mineuchi, you're in third place.
You were able to create it in your own way.
Yes.
How about you, Mr. Yudai?
Her performance was also very cute, and I really appreciated that you could see the stage.
I don't think you can dance like that with just one piano.
It's not a stage, it's a studio like this.
When you think about it like that, it's terrifying.
It's terrifying.
Yes.
Can we do one more?
Yes, last one.
Honotan should...
Huh? Hono...
...wa.
Honotan should have peeked out.
I'm sorry, my eyes are blurry at this time.
Honotan should have peeked out.
Yes, Honotan should have peeked out.
Yes.
Once again, how was it for you, Mr. Kabu?
Yes.
The strength of the song along with the lyrics and the strength of the song's strength and weakness were solid.
Also, when "fireworks" came out in the lyrics, my eyes suddenly went up.
When that happens, the listeners also think of "fireworks".
I wonder how much the listeners think of the scene.
Your comment is amazing.
It's amazing.
Yes.
Now, it's the second half of the first day of qualifying.
Viewers, please send us your comments and opinions of the live broadcast using the hashtag #akb48songstrengthno.1 and tweet us.
I think you've lost your nerves, but it's only the first half of the show.
There will be another round in the second half of the show.
Now, let's move on to the singing screening.
First of all, it's the screening of HKT48's 21 members.
Here you go.
I'm Akiyo Shuka of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for living
Wonders are waiting to start
Believe your story
Face up and running
Hold to the truth in your heart
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams that I saw do forever
Big crowds roll by for you and I
Maybe I'll see you in the dark
We'll dream above the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Bow our hearts, everyone
If we hold on together
Our dreams will never die
Dreams fill us through to forever
Earth high and souls gathered
The cross road by for you and
Ah...
Thank you very much.
I'm Haruka Ueno of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
We were together all the time, walking down the same path.
We part ways and walk our own paths.
Holding my heart full of loneliness,
I look up at the sky and feel like I'm about to cry.
I think of you.
Even on nights without you,
I can't hold back my tears.
It's because you're doing your best.
It's because you're getting stronger.
I'm sure you can see it too.
Loneliness, sky, crescent moon.
It's because we're connected.
It's because I love you.
I reached out to the crescent moon.
My feelings reach you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Koujina Yui of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
Unable to hide my depression,
One day it settled in you.
If it could be taken away by someone,
Would it be okay for me to kill you?
Unable to hide my depression,
One day it settled in you.
As you fly up and fall down,
Beyond your shoulders, a mountain burns.
No matter what happens,
I want to go through the burning fire and cross paths with you.
These feelings...
Thank you very much.
I'm JKT48's Jiko Sakaguchi.
Thank you for having me.
Goodbye, my love
How frustrating
How sad
You're not coming back
Even so, you're the person I love
I can't forget anything
I can't throw away anything
I'm miserable and weak
I pity you and hate you
Goodbye, my love
Forever, my love
Forever, forever, my love
Thank you very much!
I'm Toshima Meru of HKT48. Nice to meet you!
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 this kindness.
I couldn't be honest with my separated mother.
Look, look at your feet, this is the path you will walk.
Look, look ahead, that is your future.
Thank you very much.
I'm HKT48 Toyona Gaki. Nice to meet you.
In a classroom with a view of a building, we sat side by side at our 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 and told me not to go far away.
Half of me smiled and half of me hugged you with a straight face.
On a winter night with low clouds, you died like a dream.
You promised me you'd go to the beach and watch a lot of movies this year, didn't you?
I want to see you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Mina Imada of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
The voice of the stars fading into the night sky,
The fleeting light of the azure moon,
The sea we swam in together,
Why does it change color before we know it?
I don't want to fall asleep like this,
I want to feel you again.
If you're lonely,
You can't even stay by my side,
But you know the pain of losing,
And you can grasp other love.
That's what I pray for.
When you want to cry or when you're in pain,
You can remember me.
The place we can be together,
On a faraway summer day,
The warmth and joy of living,
In everyone's hearts.
Thank you very much.
I'm Maria Imamura of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
The first time we met here was two months ago today
You didn't even know how to kiss me, my first sweet girlfriend
A small souvenir I didn't even want
I quietly marked it on my nightstand
When I asked "What day is it today?"
I was a little confused and answered
Laughing and answering "It's my ex-boyfriend's birthday"
Smiling and itching, those stories
Make me want to cover my ears
The memories of those three years you spent with him
Are still not enough for me
Even though I love you so much
There are too many misunderstandings
It's just a heartless exchange
Rather than repeating any more
Until your heart responds
It's better not to see each other
Whether it's tomorrow or five years from now
I'll always be waiting for you here
So let's make a promise
And tie a red thread around our hearts
Thank you very much.
I'm HKT48 Odayaka. Nice to meet you.
You grew up in a beautiful place.
You said you wanted to live with me.
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 only one of my wishes could come true, I'd like to go back to those days.
The cityscape you said you liked is getting dark again today.
The black sky and distant mountains.
The city we walked in together.
The city with beautiful sunset.
Thank you very much.
You can become stronger by the number of tears you have, like flowers blooming on the asphalt.
Don't be afraid of everything you see, tomorrow will come for you
What happened so late at night that I suddenly wanted to meet you?
Even if you make a joke in a hurry, that smile is sad
Look, there's moonlight on top of the building, memories and pride that we embrace
If you throw it away, something good will happen again
You can become stronger by the number of tears you have, like flowers blooming on the asphalt.
Don't be afraid of everything you see, tomorrow will come for you
Let's become as strong as the number of tears, like a flower swaying in the wind
Just believe in yourself, tomorrow will come, no matter what
Tomorrow will come for you
Tomorrow will come, no matter what
I'm HKT48's Sakamoto Elena. Thank you for having me.
Your back running on the ground
Floated in the sky, freer than clouds
Even the square letters lined up in your notebook
Seemed like a light that illuminated everything
I didn't know how to say "I love you"
This time that will never come back
Taught me what it meant for me
The days I spent with you, I'll burn them in my heart
So that it's okay even if I don't remember
Even if I ever fell in love with someone else
You will always be special and precious
And this season will continue to pass
Thank you very much.
My name is Tomoka Takeda of HKT48.
Thank you for your support.
I love you - I can't put it into words, but I still want to convey it to you my love forever
Today again, the mail ties and unties the two of us
At this frustrating distance, I always feel like I'm going to lose
"I'm sorry" I say on the phone, but I can't say it honestly
But you know, I don't want to say "see you again" anymore
I'm fine like this, because I love you
I can't say "I love you" and that's all I can say
But you know, I'm glad we met and that we care about each other
To you, who I love so much, my love forever
In the passing seasons, we walk hand in hand
I love you, I really love you
The map of the future I make with you
"I'm glad I'm alive someday" we say
I can't say "I love you"
That's all I can say
But you know, I'm glad we met
I cherished my feelings and my ego
To you, who I love so much, my love forever
Thank you very much!
I'm Hazuki Okazo of HKT48. Nice to meet you!
What do you wish for now?
Tell me gently.
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 echo 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 to how I always was tomorrow.
Don't say goodbye. Tonight, I'm falling into a dream again.
Thank you very much.
I am Vivian Murakawa of HKT48. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
I don't want to forget many things about you.
I want to remember you.
I want to meet you soon and hug you.
I'm really glad that everything started with you.
That's what I think from the bottom of my heart.
I bit my lips and touched you with my fingers.
I made sure of my kiss with you.
Then it stopped raining and the stars fell down.
I got lost in my little room.
Ah, I climbed up the tetrapod.
Let's fly shoes into space.
Ah, if you kiss me on my cheek,
our time will stop.
Hmm, I like you, my boyfriend.
Thank you very much!
I'm Ishiba Shibuki of HKT48. Nice to meet you!
Look, look at your feet, this is the path you will walk.
Look, look ahead, that is your future.
A lot of kindness, love.
I repeated it again and again.
At that time, I was still young and didn't know what it meant.
You held my hand and walked with me.
Sometimes I didn't like your kindness.
We were separated and I couldn't be honest with you.
Look at my feet. This is the way you walk.
Look ahead. That's your future.
I'm Ichimura Airi of HKT48. Thank you for having me.
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 protect me, so I can become stronger. I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
Time passes by with pain, and the light of the tree gently shines on it.
Because you're not alone, because I'll protect you, because I want to see your smiling face,
Time passes by with pain, and the light of the tree gently shines on it.
Thank you very much.
My name is Kaede Kamijima, and I play the piano for HKT48.
In the reddish sun pool
Walking on the slope with the same stride Itsumo atashi wa oikakeru dake
I stumbled, fell, and cried.
I'm not the type of person who can live a good life, but I can't live well.
Look, you'll take my hand. Anata ga hora, atashi no te wo hiku kara
Be strong even when you are afraid, you can become what you are.
That's why we cried, laughed, and held hands.
A promise that won't succumb to the repeated words.
In the red sky where I met you, Anata ni deaeta akane no sora ni
Look, I wish the same thing as that day.
thank you very much. Arigato gozaimashita.

Butterfly, today is a wonderful red thread more than any other time we've had.
We're tied up in a ring of light.
Butterfly, today is a white feather more beautiful than any of you I've ever had.
We'll fly away together with happiness.
I remember the time I first met you.
The seasons that repeated themselves over and over again have changed us.
You're happy now, close to the person you love.
You're smiling now. The wind resounds with those certain memories.
The sun sets, the stars rise, and the night falls asleep.
Butterfly, today is a wonderful red thread more than any of you I've ever had.
We're tied up in a ring of light.
Thank you very much!
My name is H.K.T.48 Goto Hinano. 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 leaf and a swimsuit.
I hope your cute light berry colored endless dream will come to an end.
I hope you and the person you love will last a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day bind me and my endless waves will properly stop.
I hope you and the person you love will last a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm Takemoto Kurumi of HKT48.
Nice to meet you.
I've never thought of you as a friend
Since the day I met you
Some things have changed
But what hasn't changed is
You and me both
Until I couldn't see your hot way home
Until you got really small
I loved you
Even now, even now
Summer is coming
As we age, I'll remember
Your shadow
My words
Swaying, swaying, ah
Love
Thank you very much.
(applause)
Now, the second half of the first day, first of all, hkt48, 21 singers have been judged.
Well, first of all, Mr. Uehara.
Yes.
How was it?
It's a little too high a level for me to rate it, isn't it?
Before, when it came to hkt...
I thought everyone was very high-level overall.
Is there anyone you're interested in?
I like Yuka Akiyoshi's songs.
Oh, Diana Ross.
Well, I feel like I'm going to cry.
How can I say it?
Her breath matches her song very well.
I thought it was amazing that she used even her breath as an essence of her song.
Oh, it's very highly rated.
Now, Mr. Yudai.
Yes, that's right.
I thought Akiyoshi's song was great.
And Erina Sakamoto, too.
Sakamoto, yes.
It's very...
Well, it's strange to say it like this, but it's like an idol.
I can imagine her voice very well.
Oh, I feel like her voice and song match very well.
And the researchers...
I have their profiles in my hands now.
I was surprised at the high level of the researchers.
Do you have anything you want to say?
I think everyone has their own profile.
I don't know about everyone, but everyone has a strong voice and I'd like to know how old you are.
That's true. It may be that children who sing like adults are unexpectedly teenagers.
I was surprised at the level of the researchers.
Yes, thank you.
Mr. Sakafu?
Yes, I also thought Mr. Akiyoshi's song was very good.
I was glad to feel that he was listening and singing a lot of piano performances.
On the contrary, I would like to see him singing live in a band.
Is there a song you'd like to hear?
Well, I like this song very much and I know it well even if it's practiced.
I'd like to hear a wide range of Western music and Japanese music, but I'd like to hear a wide range of songs that really good singers sing.
Also, Mr. Kojima said that he wanted to see you in a kimono.
It was wonderful.
Even though there are 100 people in a large number of people, Kojima knows how to stand out.
But I don't think there are many people who chose Amagi voice.
That's right.
The only one!
What kind of score will it be with that expression?
Mr. Waga, what did you think of it?
Well, I like Mr. Toyonaga's song.
It was like that before, but I don't know what happened.
I always think that it would be difficult to sing if there wasn't something.
I want to see you in this song, too.
It's difficult to express that.
That's right.
I always think that something might have happened.
That's right.
Also, if it was "thank you very much, one grand prix" after singing, it would be this girl.
Ishibashi Ibuki-chan.
"thank you very much" was really cute.
It was cute.
Let's take a look at the posts from viewers who were posted on Twitter.
First of all, here it is.
Akiyoshi-chan, you're really drawn into choosing songs that suit you.
There are a lot of difficult songs and I can choose about 100 of them.
But I don't think it's "diana rose" to choose songs that suit you.
It's also in English.
That's right.
Akiyoshi-san, you're really drawn into choosing songs that suit you.
That's right.
It was amazing.
Let's listen to one more.
G.NA's sweet voice. I'm sure you'll fall in love with it.
The way she looks at you is also good.
What do you think, Yuta-san?
I'm drawn in by her eyes.
It makes my heart pound.
I want to listen to a lot of songs.
Let's listen to one more.
The next song is "toyonaga-chan, toyonaga-aki- chan's song. When I listen to it, I can see the scenery."
It's wonderful.
It's like you're singing on a cliff.
That's what it looks like.
What do you think, Toyonaga-san?
There are two people who made me cry this time.
It's Akiyoshi-san and Toyonaga-san.
That's right.
She has a voice that makes my heart pound.
I thought she was good at expressing herself.
It's a sad song.
That's right.
It's hard to meet someone like her without experience.
Shall we listen to one more song?
Yes, let's listen to one more song.
Her voice is so cute. I think I can fall in love with her.
This is Vivian-chan's own tweet.
Her voice is so cute. I think I can fall in love with her.
What do you think, Vivian?
She's an icon of boyfriends.
She has a rich voice.
I thought it was attractive.
She's cute.
What do you think, Ryudai-san?
She has a cute voice.
What do you think of her attractiveness so far?
Isn't she cute?
Her reaction is...
She's cute.
She's cute, isn't she?
She looks like she's having fun.
She's attractive.
Let's go back to the singer evaluation.
Lastly, we have the singer evaluation of 12 members of ngt48.
Let's take a look.
It's ngt48's Ogumatsugumi. Thank you in advance.
The seasons I've always waited for with you
Passed by without saying anything
Ame wa kono machi ni furisosogu The rain falls on this city
With a little regret and sin wrapped inside
As I swore not to cry, time has passed
Without noticing my aching heart
In my memories of being alone
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 back then and I couldn't see you
Thank you very much!
I'm Seiji Reina of ngt48. Nice to meet you!
I'll 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 a day like this would come
Making things better, no, just taking a break
I just kept thinking about you
You were exhausted, but you loved my illusion
It's you, isn't it?
There's nothing to talk about.
Making things better, love has disappeared.
Don't come running to me again.
You were exhausted, but you loved my illusion.
Thank you very much.
I'm Yuka Nakamura of NGT48. Nice to meet you.
How long will it take?
The letter I sent
Came back to the post office this morning
Shaking at the window
When I woke up, it was like a river
After a long winter
Now I realize
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...
You loved me You embraced me
It was like a sunset
I'm NGT48's Yamada Noe. Thank you for having me!
Goodbye, my love
Still my love
It's so frustrating
Even if I'm sad
You won't come back
Even so, my beloved person
I can't forget anything
I can't throw away anything
I'm so miserable and weak
I pity you and hate you
Goodbye, my love
Still my love
Always and forever, my beloved person
Thank you very much!
I'm Ando Chikana of NGT48. Nice to meet you!
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, and a big hope I won't forget
August ten years later, we'll meet again, believe me
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, fireworks in the night sky bloom beautifully and make me feel 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.
You and summer's end, dreams of the future, and a big hope I won't forget.
I believe we'll meet again in August, ten years later.
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.
I'm NGT48's Ogoe Haruka. Nice to meet you!
Eh, this letter...
I wonder where and what you're doing.
I'm fifteen 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 in and walk on?
My one and only heart has been broken many times.
In pain, I'm living now.
I'm living now.
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Takahashi Nanami.
Thank you for having me.
♪ Look, look at where you stand, this is the path you will walk on. ♪
♪ Look, look ahead of you, that is you. ♪
♪ Lots of kindness, love. ♪
I repeated that time when I was still young and didn't know what it meant.
You held my hand and walked with me.
Sometimes I didn't like that kindness. I couldn't be honest with you.
Look at where you stand. This is the path you will walk.
Look ahead. That is your future.
Thank you very much.
I'm Fujisaki Miyu of NGT48. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
The sunset we saw on Watarase Bridge,
you seemed to like it a lot.
You said you wanted to live here,
in a beautiful place like that.
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, when I pray at Yagumo Shrine,
I pray for you.
If one of my wishes can come true,
I want to go back to those days.
This city, which you said you liked,
it's getting dark again today.
The wide sky and the distant mountains,
the streets we walked together,
it's a city with beautiful sunset.
Thank you very much.
I'm Mana Furusawa of NGT48. Thank you for having me.
"It's Okay" / Mana Furusawa Covered by Aoi
It's okay, don't worry
Next to me who's about to cry
You whispered to me with a smile that never changes
You whispered to me
I can still do it
Because you're always shining
Sometimes you're in a hurry and you lose yourself
It can't be helped because you're always watching over me with a smile
You hugged me like you always do
I'm sure I've been saved many times by your smile
Thank you, thank you
Best friend
Best friend forever and ever
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Mashimo Kaho. 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.
Closing in and bending over, 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 lead you to a new path.
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 Hino Mimura of NGT48. Nice to meet you!
I'm worried and my body is hot
My fingertips are so cold they freeze
What's wrong? You should have told me earlier
Even if you say that, I'm weak
Even if you die and I grow older and older
I can't even imagine it
Yes, now is more important than anything
I slowed down and looked up at the sky
The white horse's mane was shaking
Your forehead was a little higher than mine
I was invited, a beetle, a shooting star, flowing
Pain, joy, heartache, disability
I won't forget, will I?
Disability, I'll forget
I won't refuse, right?
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48 Hinata Morohashi. Nice to meet you.
My Love Forever
Today, too, the mail ties us together and untangles us.
In this frustrating distance, I always feel like I'm going to lose.
"I'm sorry" I say on the phone, but I can't say it honestly.
"But, you know, see you later." I don't want to say anything more.
I'm fine like this, because I love you.
I can't put it into words. That's all I can say.
I want to cherish it.
To you, who I love so much.
My love forever.
In the passing seasons, we walk hand in hand.
I love you. I love you so much. The future map I made with you.
Someday, we'll say "I'm glad we're alive."
I can't say "I love you." That's all I can say.
But you know, I'm glad we met. I want to cherish our meeting.
To you, who I love so much. My love forever.
Thank you very much.
(applause)
Lastly, we had 12 NGT48 singer judges.
First of all, Mr. Yudai.
Yes.
How did you like NGT48?
Hmm... I feel like it's getting harder and harder to judge.
(laughs)
Well...
I thought there was a song that could be conveyed very well.
Oh!
Yes.
Which song?
Personally, I think it's "Mimura-san".
"Kabuto-mushi"!
What did you like about it?
I think it's a difficult song.
It's pretty childish and high-pitched, and the voice comes out beautifully.
Also, the facial expressions and determination to sing are what I like about it.
It's like "Deliver it!"
I felt that kind of feeling and thought it was good.
Thank you.
How about you, Uehara-san?
For me, it's "Morohashi-san" at the end.
I thought he had a very nice voice.
When I listened to it, I thought he had a very energetic voice.
Is there a song you want him to sing?
Well...
I thought he might sing "Bluebird" by "Ikimonogakari-san".
Oh, I see.
It's a cheerful song.
Yes, it's a cheerful song.
Thank you.
How about you, Sakafu-san?
Well...
I like this song very much.
I like "Morohashi-san" because it's cheerful.
But when I listened to "Yamada Noe-san",
his voice was very husky.
Yes, it was.
How can I say...
It was a very slow song,
but I could feel eight beats.
From his voice?
Yes, I had an image of rock music.
I want to listen to cheerful songs like "Lindbergh-san" in the 90s,
or "Kiss Me Right Now".
Yes, yes.
I really want to listen to such cheerful songs.
As long as I listen to his voice,
I can't reach his talent only with effort.
He is a genius.
He has a really good voice.
How about you, Banga-san?
Me...
Well...
How about you, Yuki-san?
Yes, yes, yes.
Well...
I like...
I like "Mitsuami-san" very much.
Do you like it?
I haven't seen "Mitsuami-san" for a long time.
I was looking around and...
"Morohashi-san" is also good,
but I haven't seen "Mitsuami-san" for a long time.
I see.
I think "Mitsuami-san" is good.
How about you, Fuku-tan?
I think...
Takahashi Nanami-san?
Yes, yes, yes.
What do you think of her?
I think she is good.
Her seriousness is like that of a researcher.
Her seriousness resonates in my heart.
She seems straight-forward.
Shall we look at her Twitter?
Yes, let's do that.
Let's start with this one.
Kabuto-mushi is the best match. She is good.
I mentioned it earlier, but she is good.
How about you, Kabuto-mushi?
She is wonderful.
She made that song into her own song and it resonated in my heart.
Thank you.
Let's move on to this one.
Fujisaki-san's singing voice seems to have a wide range of possibilities.
I agree with you.
She has a cute voice.
Moritaka also has a good voice.
How about you, Uehara-san?
I feel like I can hear it in the introduction of a movie.
What kind of movie is it?
In the introduction of a youth movie,
when the main character is in a hurry to meet his lover,
it resonates in my heart.
I've been thinking about it all the time.
That's good. Thank you.
Shall we look at the next one?
Shall we?
I'm moved.
Noepi, your smile is wonderful.
It cheers me up.
Your singing voice conveys your feelings well.
You did your best. Thank you for challenging me.
How about you, Yudai-san?
As I mentioned earlier, her voice is very distinctive and unique.
It left a strong impression on me.
To be honest, I'd like to listen to her singing in other songs as well.
Here's a tweet from Akiyushi-san himself.
Oh, Akiyushi.
I sang with all my heart.
Judges, thank you for your comments.
I hope you advance to the finals.
Thank you for watching.
I'm getting nervous.
We're only halfway through today.
The first day of the qualifying round has come to an end.
Thank you for your hard work.
I could feel it.
We've been broadcasting for over three hours.
We've been doing it nonstop.
What is it?
Yudai-san...
Who do you think will advance to the next round?
Again?
Takaya-nagi-san answered my question perfectly.
I don't know if I'll advance to the next round safely.
It's NGT and HKT.
It's a total of all of them.
Is it all of them?
Yes, it's not even half of them.
I see.
Today's 20 people will be announced.
The top 20 will be announced from now on.
One last person.
Well, I hope Akiyo-san will stay.
I'm watching you.
The top 20 will be announced from now on.
Who will be ranked in?
Thank you for waiting.
The second round of AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round.
AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round.
We are currently collecting votes.
We haven't received any votes yet.
Can you predict it for us?
Can you predict it for us, Kahun-san?
Can you predict it for us?
Well...
Well, each of them...
Anyway, it's HKT and NGT.
That's right.
We haven't announced it yet.
As for me, it's NGT.
Yamada-san mentioned it earlier.
Seiji Reina-san said it while listening to Olivia.
She said it in a very polite way.
I hope she will stay.
I see.
Thank you very much.
How about you, Uehara-san?
Well...
I'm sure you're wondering who it is.
Well...
It's a researcher.
H.K.T.48's...
Takemoto Kurumi-san.
She's the last one.
So I thought...
If I join again, things will change.
I'm looking forward to seeing how many researchers will join.
There are quite a few this time, right?
Yes, that's right.
So...
The results...
Soon...
Have they come out?
They have!
Yes!
The results have just come out.
Yes, the results have come out!
Yes!
Yes.
So...
Yes.
STU48, SK48, H.K.T.48...
And NGT48...
Out of all 67 members...
Which members are in the rankings?
If you're not in the rankings...
You won't be able to advance to the finals.
Yes.
So...
It's going to be a tough battle.
Yes.
So...
The results have come out, right?
Yes.
So...
First day of qualifying!
Yes!
Let's announce the results!
First...
20th to 11th place!
Yes!
Here we go.
I'll announce the 20th place.
The 20th place is...
NGT48...
Seiji Reina!
Wow!
You made it!
Thank goodness!
Wow!
You guessed it!
You made it to 20th place!
I'm happy.
Your name just came up.
Yes.

The 19th place is...
SKE48...

Wow!
You made it!
It comes in between like this.
That's right.
Here we go.
Here is the 18th place.
STU48...
Miyu Sakaki!
Wow!
Congratulations!
18th place.
You made it to 18th place.
Judges, you too...
I'll say it again. There's a "what does it mean?"
Was it 9th place earlier?
That's right.
We might be able to guess where it was placed.
I saw it in a tweet earlier.
Tani, Marika, 10th place, Gyoe!
Tani...
How about it?
Was it 9th place?
That's right.
That's what the judges think.
Let's move on.
Here's the announcement for 17th place.
17th place...
hkt48
takemoto kurumi
Wow!
Of course!
You made it!
That's amazing.
It's a common perception.
It means everyone was good.
That's right.
That's amazing.
That's how it is.
Let's move on to 16th place.
16th place is...
ngt48
morohashi hinata
Wow!
Congratulations.
That's right.
All four groups are here.
That's right.
Two of them are the least popular.
That's right.
Let's move on to 15th place.
15th place...
hkt48
kamijima kaede
Wow!
That's right.
What do you think of this one, Yudai-san?
Kamishima-san's...
Wait a minute.
She's a researcher.
She's HKG. She's a researcher.
But she's a researcher.
How about you, Pavu-san?
Ah, Kamishima-san's was really good.
Her voice was very dense and deep.
It says "I like your voice."
That's right.
Yudai-san also likes her voice.
My voice goes straight into people's hearts.
Your voice!
Her voice went straight into people's hearts.
And with that...
This is...
15th place.
Next up is...
13th place has two people.
Yes.
I will continue to call out two people.
Yes.
The first person in 13th place is...
NGT48 Yamada Noe!
Yamada Noe is in 13th place.
There is one more person in 13th place, so I will announce it.
One more person in 13th place is...
HKT48 Ichimura Airi!
I couldn't say your name, but how was it?
Oh, I covered my eyes.
Yes, that's right.
How was it?
Yes, that's right.
How about you, Kokubu-san?
She had a very low voice, and it felt like she was entering the world of singing.
She was like an actress.
She was wonderful.
Sometimes, Uehara-san, when you have a good one phrase, you make a face like "oh!".
Sometimes...
Oh, was it like that?
Yes, it was like that.
How about you?
It says that my voice echoes beautifully in the memo.
Everyone has that kind of charm.
Yes, that's right.
Next, I will announce 12th place.
12th place is...
HKT48
Mr. Ueno Haruka!
- Ohohoho! - Here he is!
- Yes, congratulations! - Yes, congratulations!
He's in 12th place!

- Yes, she's in 11th place.
Once again, Mr. Uehara, what did you think of her?
- She's in the list of people who were mentioned earlier. - Yes, she is.
- Wow! - Yes.
- Wow! There are three people from NGT48 and four people from HKT48. - That's right!
- That's amazing! - Yes, yes, yes.
- One person from each group... - That's right.
Mr. Yudai, what did you think of her?
As I expected, I think that the level of research students of HKT48 is reflected in the results of their researches.
- It's amazing, isn't it? It's really wonderful. - Yes, thank you very much!
- Now, we will announce the top 10 people! - Yes!
I will now announce them!
In 10th place...
SKA48...
Yamauchi Suzuran!
Yes, congratulations!
Yes, in 10th place...
In 10th place is Yamauchi-san.
Yes.
Shall we announce them?
Yes.
Shall we?
Yes.
Next, there are two people in 8th place.
Two people.
So we will announce them one by one.
First, in 8th place...
HKT48...
Koujina Yui!
Congratulations!
She is in 8th place.
How was it, Yutai-san?
Her...
Her sweet voice.
Her first one-phrase and her eyes...
I was taken aback.
It might be meaningful for you to be drawn in by your eyes.
Next...
Now, I will announce the second person in 8th place.
The second person in 8th place is...
SKU48...
Kadowaki Miyuna!
Yes, congratulations!
Congratulations!
Yes.
How was it, Kadowaki-san?
Yes.
Well...
I was taken aback.
She sang with her whole body.
She was really cute.
It was good.
Yes.
Thank you.
Next, I will announce the seventh person in 8th place.
Yes.
The seventh person is...
NGT48...
Hino Mimura!
Yes!
Congratulations, researcher!
Beetle.
The researcher is in 7th place.
The researcher is in 7th place!
Yes.
Well, Uehara-san, how was it?
Ah, but...
After all, I was in 7th place.
But it was certainly wonderful.
The expression power...
Ah, the expression power was amazing.
Yes, thank you very much.
Well, then...
I will announce the sixth person in 8th place.
The sixth person is...
SKE48...
Yukino Shirai!
Yes!
Congratulations!
The researcher is in 8th place.
Yukino Hanao.
Yukino-chan.
Yes.
Well, this...
How was it, Akafu-san?
Well...
Yes.
Um...
Well...
It was really wonderful, but...
There was a sense of the world, and...
Yes.
The way of speaking was very polite and...
It made me feel good.
It was big, wasn't it?
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Well...
Well, then...
Finally...
Yes.
I will announce the fifth place.
Yes.
The fifth person is...

Congratulations!
She is in 5th place!
5th place!
Yes.
Mineyoshi-san...
Well, Mr. Yudai...
How was it?
Well...
She is still...
She was a judge in the beginning, but...
Her cute behavior and singing voice are still in my ears, so...
As expected of her.
As expected of 5th place.
Yes.
I remember it clearly.
Yes.
Certainly.
Yes.
Well, then...
Yes.
I will announce the fourth place.
The fourth place is...
SKE48...
TAKAYANA NI AKANE!
Congratulations!
TAKAYANA NI AKANE is in the fourth place!
That's wonderful!
How do you like it, director?
As I said earlier, the pronunciation of the words is very good.
The lyrics of the song are easy to understand.
I think it's a good thing.
How about you, Ms. Uehara?
As I said earlier, the song was like a scene from a movie.
I think it's a good thing to be in the fourth place.
But I'm afraid of being in the fourth place with that expression.
That's right!
I'm afraid of being in the fourth place.

How about you, Yudai?
She has a very nice voice.
I've been watching her since last year.
She has a stable voice.
And her voice really suits her.
Her voice is so cute that I can picture it in my head.
Her song selection is also good.
Yes, I think her song selection is always right.
How about you, Kaoru?
It's my first time hearing it.
I think a person's personality comes out when they sing for the first time.
She practices singing seriously.
And she has a gentle voice.
It's amazing that she can sing with a gentle voice.
Congratulations!
Next, I will announce the second place.
The second place is...
STU48...
Yano Honoka!

You are in first place.
Well, Mr. Kabu, how do you feel?
