The 3rd AKB48 Group Singing Power No.1 Deciding Round Preliminary 1st Day on TBS G Studio.

Among them, 20 will advance to the final round.
The preliminary round will be held today and tomorrow for two days.
This is Waga's 3rd time.
What do you expect?
The 1st place winner, Kano Nojima, who didn't participate in the last round, will participate in this round.
I'm looking forward to seeing if she will win for the second time.
Yes.
Now, let's introduce the judges who will be in charge of judging this time.
Yes. First of all, in addition to his own music activities, he offers songs to ARASHI and JIJU.
In addition, singer-songwriter Saimon Isogai, who participated in Yuzu's live performance as a bandmaster, is also here.
Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me. I'm Saimon Isogai.
As a singer, I have to put in a lot of effort because there are 134 people who can listen to what kind of songs.
I will do my best. Thank you for your cooperation.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Next, singer-songwriter Hiromi Takeuchi, who was in charge of the back chorus under Shogo Hamada and Haru Sanomoto.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I heard that there are people who really want to sing this time as well.
I was looking forward to it. Thank you for your cooperation.
Thank you for your cooperation.
And last, Sato Yudai, a keyboardist who was in charge of qualifying judging from the first tournament and bandmaster in the final tournament and finalist live performance.
Thank you for your cooperation.
This is my third time, but I'm very nervous about wanting to qualify for this qualifier.
This time, I would like to listen carefully and judge each and every one of you.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Now, Ms. Kobayashi-ana, please give us the rules of the preliminary judging of this tournament.
Yes.
Now, judges will watch each group's virtual VTR and judge.
Today's live broadcast has 68 people of akb48 and ske48.
Tomorrow's live broadcast will have 66 people of nmb48, hkt48, ngt48, stu48.
Judges will be rated with a total of 3 million points out of 100 million points.
Based on this rating, we will select the top 20 in today's live broadcast and the top 20 in tomorrow's live broadcast.
During the preliminary judging for two days, the top 15 people will advance to the final tournament held at tbs akasaka act theater on December 1st.
The rest of the five will consult with the judges as a panel of judges and decide.
Yes, and this year, we are also planning to hold a finalist live performance with a full band for the members who remained in the best eight in the final tournament.
So, Mr. Isogai.
Yes.
Is there any point you would like to evaluate?
Well, I think there are various people, including those who are good at singing and those who are unique.
My personal preference is that I like songs with a lot of lyrics, so that kind of point...
Well, not only lyrics and singing ability, although singing ability is decided, but I think it is very important that you can hear the lyrics.
By the way, have you ever judged before?
No, I haven't done it much.
I'm not human in such a position, so I'd like to judge.
Thank you for your time.
How about you, Ms. Takeuchi? Have you ever judged before?
No, I've auditioned before, but I haven't judged before.
Thank you for your time today.
Is there any point you would like to evaluate?
Well, I'm looking forward to seeing how each person's feelings, feelings in the song, and their attitudes and feelings towards the song, appear in their voice.
Thank you for your time.
Now, Mr. Isogai.
Who do you think will rank higher?
No, no, no.
It's already the third time.
I don't know until I see it every year, so it's hard for me to ask that question all of a sudden.
I'd like to ask the same question over and over again.
Now, let's move on to the singing evaluation.
First of all, Team A of AKB48 and Team K.
In addition, Team K, which belongs to Team A, will be evaluated by 12 people.
Viewers, please leave your impressions and opinions of the live broadcast by tweeting with the hashtag #akb48 Singing Power No. 1 Decision Line.
Now, here we go.
AKB48 Team A and Team K's singing evaluation.
Here you go.
I'm AKB48 Minami Sato. Nice to meet you.
Your story, which is about to begin, will continue for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
Behind your dazzling smile, there is a sad sound.
When we are together, even now, you are so dear to me.
When we hold hands, we feel warm. When we hate each other, we feel lonely.
Each one of them will be you. The road will continue.
Your story, which is about to begin, will continue for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
Thank you very much.
I'm Suzuki Kurumi of a.k.a.b48. Thank you for having me.
Crossing the bridge and looking at the setting sun, you said you loved it
It was beautiful there, wasn't it? You said you wanted to live here
You came all the way to this city, swayed by the train, to see me
Even now, I can't forget those days and I'm still alive
Even now, I still pray for you when I visit the Yagumo Shrine
If only one of my wishes could come true, I'd like to go back to those days
This city where you said you loved it, it's still shaking today
A wide sky and mountains in the distance, a city where the sunset is beautiful
A city where the sunset is beautiful
I'm Manaka Taguchi of akb48. Thank you for having me.
After all, I turned my back on the night sky and said that I couldn't find that star.
I was tired of wishing.
I want to close my eyes to one truth.
Tomorrow will be different from today. The star will shine.
I want to close my eyes to one truth. Tomorrow will be different from today. The star will shine.
I wanna be stopped. Someday in the last miracle of the future,
Embraced by light and darkness, I find a faint dream in the sky of my heart.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Nishikawa Rei. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me.
How many things can we do in this limited time?
How much of my feelings can I tell you?
You erased the pain in my heart that I had kept locked away for so long.
The only reason I can smile is you, who cried with me.
Because you were there for me.
Because you're not alone.
Because you protect me.
I can be strong. I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
As time goes by, along with the pain,
the light of fire gently shines on me.
Because you're not alone.
Because I protect you.
Because I want to see you smile.
As time goes by, along with the pain,
the light of fire gently shines on me.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Maeda Ayaka. Nice to meet you.
My hair caught in my eyes and my fingers scattered about
My lonely back is about to break
While making the unreliable sun bleed
I was staring at your smiling profile
Before I knew it, all of it came into my sight
Why did I notice the pain in my heart?
I'm looking for you
In the depths of my hidden eyes
So that no one can see you
While wandering around without a place to go
The world I see with you
Has always been beautiful
There's only one thing left in the sky
A faintly shining little star
Thank you very much.
I'm Saki Michiyada of AKB48.
Make a circle with one foot and hold it firmly.
Turn the back of the circle with the other foot.
Enter the pocket in between and wait for it to come out.
Come and pick up where it came out and pull it out.
Even if it's a miserable shape at first,
Put in the same amount of force.
The wings are big and the knots are hard.
I want you to tie it tightly so that it becomes one.
My arms are here and my memories are far away.
I want you to leave me alone.
The wings are big and the knots are hard.
I want you to tie it tightly so that it becomes one.
My arms are here and my memories are far away.
I want you to leave me alone.
Thank you very much.
AKB48's Miyon Mukaichi. Thank you for your support.
It's been 24 hours since you left last night.
I haven't even taken one step outside yet.
At a slow pace, I often fall asleep
Thinking of you
Five minutes past the house clock
Ah, it doesn't matter anymore
Did you care about me, who hated cigarettes, and smoke on the balcony?
The curtains shook and my eyes got hot
You're not there anymore
Look at me more carefully, more carefully
Were those words too heavy for you?
Look at me more carefully, more carefully
If you hadn't told me, would you be here now?
Thank you very much.
I'm Yamane Suzoha from akb48.
Thank you for having me.
I'm Yamane Suzoha from akb48.
Thank you for having me.
I'm Yamane Suzoha from akb48.
Thank you very much.
Hey, you're always singing in class, aren't you?
I love that look of yours.
The words I want to say are increasing.
As I thought, you're special.
As my feelings grow bigger and bigger,
Ah, I feel like I'm going to be crushed.
Nothing comes to me.
It doesn't disappear from my head.
I want to see you, I want to see you.
My heart beats non-stop.
Even if I hold back my frustrated feelings,
Ah, it hurts.
In the end, I'm all tangled up.
I'm home alone.
I stumbled and fell.
Even now, I can't stop.
Hey, listen. I like you.
I love you.
Give me a hug.
Thank you for watching.
Your story, which is about to begin,
will continue for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls,
the sky rises.
Behind your dazzling smile,
I hear a sad sound.
I want you to be by my side,
even now, and love me as much as you want.
If we hold hands, we can do warm things.
If you hate me, you'll be alone.
Each one of them will be you.
The road will continue.
Your story, which is about to begin,
will continue for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls,
the sky rises.
Thank you very much.
My name is Katarina from akb48. Nice to meet you.
As we passed each other's time, I met you.
It's strange that the miracle I wished for is still by my side.
I want to see you, but I can only think of you.
I can't see you, but only time passes by.
I slip through the door and remember you again.
You and that person laugh together.
My beloved person, don't make me sad.
There are nights when I'm tired of crying and sleeping.
Don't look in the past and only look at me.
You're everything.
Stronger than you think.
If it's a kind lie, I don't want it.
I want you.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Kobayashi Ran. Nice to meet you.
Where am I now?
I step on my footprints and look back over and over again.
Embracing with withered leaves, I look out of my window.
I drew a dream with my faint fingertips.
I have wings, but I can't fly.
I'm afraid of being alone and it's painful.
I walk with my lonely dream
"Goodbye" is not a sad word.
It connects us with our own dreams.
Embracing with withered leaves, I look out of my window.
I have wings, but I can't fly.
Someday we will fly, my friend, to the sky.
"Goodbye" is not a sad word.
It connects us with our own dreams.
Until we meet again someday,
I will never forget you, my pride, my friend, to the sky.
Thank you very much.
I'm Hinana Shimoguchi of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
Things I can't put into words, things that make me cry
Everything I felt with my trembling heart has made me who I am today.
Encounters and goodbyes made me feel stronger.
Because of the days we swore we would never let go of each other's hands, we are here today.
I can hear a gentle song. There are words that push my back.
This life, this moment, become someone's light.
Wow wow, wind, blow away.
Live with you.
Even when the sky is clear and sad,
you're not alone.
Your voice is with you.
I want to laugh with you.
I want to share my dream with you.
I hope we can sing together.
I hope we can play together.
This era, us, this moment.
Thank you very much!
First of all, we had a singing test for a total of 12 people from Team A, Team K and Team A.
- So, Simon. - Yes?
I think it's your first time being a judge. How was it?
Well, it's quite difficult. It's quite difficult to set standards in the first place.
I'm sure you've all practiced a lot.
I think you might have had a little expression or something like that.
Oh, are you practicing properly?
"Are you okay?" I think you might have felt like that.
I'd like to see if you can do that.
- Are you 12 people now? - Yes.
- Is there anyone you're interested in? - Yes.
- Nazuna Furukawa is very similar to my cousin. - No, no, no.
- I don't care about that. - That's not what I mean.
I don't know about that, but I can't confirm it.
Surprisingly, Saki Michieda is...
- How old is she? - She's 16 years old.
She's 16 years old, so I think she's still a baby vocalist.
On the contrary, I've had a lot of experience and practiced singing, of course.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of singer you'll be in the future.
- Like a primitive singer? - Yes, like a primitive singer.
The way you sing was a little strange.
On the contrary, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of singer you'll be in the future.
- That's what I personally think. - Yes, thank you.
- Takeuchi-san, how was it? - Well...
If I continue asking questions like this, I think I can clearly see each person's individuality and voice characteristics.
- For me, it's Mukaichi Mion-san. - Yes.
Out of the 12 people who are participating now, I think she's one of the oldest.
- Yes, I think she's the oldest. - That's right.
First of all, her posture and the way she held her instrument were different.
She's also relaxed, so I think she'll continue to improve.
- Yes, thank you. - Yes.
- Sayudai-san, how was it? - Yes.
This time, I think there are a lot of people who can make each of your songs stand out.
This is only the beginning, but I think there are a lot of people who can make you feel "oh".
- For example? - Yes, like Simon said and Michiyo - san.
I also like Maeda-san.
Since it's going to be like a contest, the pitch and other things are going to be the subject of evaluation.
That's another problem, but I think you can improve each person's individual voice when you listen to it.
Since you sang it so beautifully, I think Taguchi- san sang it beautifully, too.
- I think you put it all together very well. - Yes, thank you.
Now, let's look at the comments from viewers who posted it on Twitter.
- Yes, here's the first comment. - Yes.
Manaka, your strength of heart is alive and stable.
- Manaka-san's evaluation is high, isn't it? - Taguchi Manaka.
- Taguchi Manaka-san. - Yes.
- So... - Yes.
- Simon-san, what did you think of it, Taguchi - san? - Yes.
I also thought it was very good, Taguchi-san.
When the song ends, I feel like I'm out of breath. I think it's very sexy.
- Oh, sexy. - Yes.
I think you had a lot of long tones, but I think it would be nice if you could add more persuasion to those long tones.
- Yes. - Thank you.
- Here's the next comment. - Yes, Taguchi Manaka.
Your choice of songs is also a key to winning.
- I think you're right about that. - Yes.
Taguchi-san, do you have any songs that suit you?
Yes, I do. There are songs that are purely musical.
Songs that are easy for people to get used to, whether it's low or high notes.
Of course, I think it's strong if it's a song that makes you do what you're good at.
Also, I think it's about the story of the song.
How much you can put your feelings into it.
- There are songs that are popular. - Yes.
- "Rainbow" was sung by you two. - Yes.
I think it's good to appeal your personality in songs that are popular.
I see. Thank you.
By the way, there are more than 100 songs.
We're asking you to pick up a song from among the 100 songs and sing it for us.
Now, let's go back to the singing test.
Next up is Team 8.
Team 8 has 20 people for the singing test.
Let's go!
[Music]
I'm Yui Yokoyama of akb48. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
I am God's child
I was left behind in this corrupt world
How do I live on such a field?
I wasn't born for this
My trembling feet are about to fall
These chains won't forgive me
With my heart open
Only your senses scatter
I still can't clean up my mistakes
Iron Gods Child
In this corrupt world
I was left behind
How do I live on such a field?
I wasn't born for this
Thank you very much.
My name is Akb48's Sato Akari. Nice to meet you.
Everything has made me who I am now
Encounters and goodbyes strengthened my feelings
Because of that day I swore with my hands
We are here
I can hear a gentle song
There are words that push my back
This life, this moment
Become someone's light
Wow wow, wind, blow away
Live with you
Even when the clear sky becomes sad
I'm not alone, your voice is by my side
I want to laugh with you
I want to share dreams with you
So we can sing together, so we can play together
This era, us, this moment
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48's Shimizu Maria. Nice to meet you!
The sunset we saw on the crossing bridge
You seemed to like it a lot
It was beautiful there, wasn't it?
You said you wanted to live here
You came all the way to this city on a train
To see me
Even now, I can't forget
The old days and I'm still alive
Even now, I'm still a Yagma believer
When I pray, I pray for you
If one of my wishes can come true
I want to go back to those days
I said I like you
Even today, this cityscape takes me with it
The wide sky and distant mountains
The city we walked in together
A city with beautiful sunset
Thank you very much!
A.K.B48, I'm Aine Takahashi. Thank you for having me.
I made up my mind.
This song in my pocket,
I want you to listen to it.
I gently turned up the volume,
and checked it out.
Oh goodbye days,
I feel like it's going to change now,
compared to yesterday.
So I love you.
Because I have this uncool kindness by my side.
La la la la la with you.
I don't want to feel sad if I can,
but it will come, won't it?
With a smile at that time.
Yeah hello my friends,
I wish I could say it.
When we hum the same song together,
stay by my side.
I wish I could meet
your uncool kindness.
La la la la goodbye day.
Thank you very much.
I'm Oguri Yui of akb48.
Thank you very much.

I can't put it into words.
That's all I can say.
But I'm glad we met.
I want to cherish the fact that we can think of each other.
To you, who I love.
My love forever.
In the changing seasons, we walk hand in hand.
I love you, I really love you.
The future map I made with you.
I'm glad I'm alive someday
Is what we say.
I love you.
I can't put it into words.
That's all I can say.
But you know, I'm glad we met.
I cherished the fact that we could think alike.
To you, who I love so much,
My love forever.
Thank you very much.
I'm Erina Oda from AKB48. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me.
Standing in a noisy cityscape, you are a very small, very cold-hearted, crying girl.
A love song in the corner of the street, you kiss me and smile at me a little.
You gently rub my frozen body and kiss me and cling to me.
Oh my little girl, I will warm you up.
Oh my little girl, I love you so much.
Oh my little girl, as we walk side by side in the twilight,
I will never, never leave you.
Wow wow… ta ra ra ra ta… ah…

Thank you for watching.
Hey, why do you look so sad?
Even though the sky is so blue, it's dazzling
I wonder when it started.
You're not going to give me back my hand, are you?
If you could say anything, would you be able to go back to that day?
Even if there's only anxiety filling my heart,
Even if there's only anxiety filling my heart, won't it disappear?
I love you, I love you, I need you
Just like when we were apart
Even if my wish 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, say goodbye
Thank you very much!

Your story, which is about to begin, will continue for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
In the back of your dazzling smile, there is a sad sound.
Closing in and bending over, I want you so much.
If we hold hands, we can be warm. If we hate each other, we can be alone.
Each one of them will be you. The road will continue.

Thank you very much!
AKB48 Hamasa Eno. Thank you very much!
I can't say "I love you"
You're the only one I can see
Every time our eyes meet
Every time I hear your voice
I love you
It makes me sad
I love you
But it hurts me
The way I am now
How can I show you?
When I see someone else
I can't look them in the eye
I want you to look me in the eye
If we were together
If we were to hug and kiss
No matter what I think
It wouldn't work
Can I fall in love with you?
Can't I?
I can't help it
My feelings won't stop
I wish we could be together forever
I'm serious, I'm serious
I like you
Thank you very much!

I'm AKB48's Kamachi Ikina. Thank you for having me.
Your back, running on the ground, was freer than the clouds floating in the sky.
Even the square letters lined up in your notebook seemed like a light that illuminated everything.
I didn't know the feeling of love, and this time that will never return
taught me what it meant for me.
I'll engrave the days I spent with you in my heart.
Even if I don't remember, like it's okay.
Even if I fall in love with someone else one day,
you'll always be special and precious to me.
This season will pass again.
Thank you very much.
AKB48 Okumoto Hinano. Thank you very much.
Thank you for watching.
In the passing of time,
I met you.
It's strange, the miracle I wished for is still by my side.
Only the time we can't meet passes by.
I slip through the door and remember you laughing with that person again.
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, just look at me.
You're very sick, you're very sick.
Stronger than you think.
If it's a kind lie, I don't want it.
What I want is you.
Thank you very much.
AKB48 Kakao Kakaol.
Thank you for watching.
What words can I say to you now?
I'm clumsy, but I hope it reaches you.
I can't see tomorrow.
I'm afraid to believe.
I regretted my past and blamed it.
But you loved me and continued to love me.
Even if the world ends tomorrow.
Even if the days we can't meet continue.
I will always think of you.
Your smile that you gave me that day.
It gave me the strength and courage to live.
Even on lonely nights where you can't see the stars.
I need you.
That alone can make me stronger.
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48 AIRI RISSEN.
Nice to meet you!
Even so, it's fine
Even so, I think it's fine, it was love
Even if I know I can't go back, I want to be connected
This is how I felt for the first time
Sometimes I can't do anything
It's natural for me to break promises, but it's okay
When I think about being alone
I wish I had forgotten about myself back then
But these tears are my answer, right?
I won't lie to my heart
I remember you so well it's scary
Your smell, your gestures, everything
It's strange, right? Say that and smile
Even though we're separated, I only think about you
You're someone I can't forget
Someone I devoted everything to
Even if we can never go back
Right now it's only you, only you
I only think about you
AKB48 Kawahara Misaki. Thank you in advance.
My troubled body is hot
My fingers are cold enough to freeze
What's wrong? Hurry up and go
Even if you say that, I'm weak
Even if you die and I grow older
I can't even imagine it
Yes, now is more important than anything
My eyes are slowing down
My white hair is swaying
Your forehead is a little higher than mine
I was invited by the sweet smell of your helmet
I can't let it flow
It hurts, I'm happy, but my chest hurts
My life, I won't forget it
I won't forget it
Thank you very much.
I'm Uemi Sorano of akb48. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me.
When I wake up, I'm always in the same scenery.
I can't even see the important things anymore.
You taught me the meaning of life and joy.
I think I can say "maybe it's okay" with that smile you have now.
I hope everything that surrounds you is filled with kindness.
I won't get lost and will continue to love you.
Be by my side.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Ria Miyazato. Nice to meet you.
I always wanted to be with you.
I always wanted to be smiling next to you.
Even though the seasons are changing again,
my heart remains still.
On the right side of you,
I thought I got used to it a little.
But why do I cry so much?
If my feelings won't come true anymore,
I just want the courage to forget you.
Even now, I still remember you.
Even the scenery I saw beyond your shoulders,
so lost again.
Ah, I had a dream and woke up.
The black jacket and your back
become invisible to someone else,
so lost again.
Like the stars returning to the forest.
Even small gestures that naturally disappear.
You're the only one I can see.
Me too.
Thank you very much.
Now, akb48 team 8 20 people's singing test is over.
So, looking at 20 people, Takeuchi-san, how was it?
Well, I thought that these 20 people were even more unique.
This is an overall rating, but when it comes to singing with women,
I tend to feel like "how can I sing like this?"
In addition to that, I thought that people who have a charm of bass are strong.
The power to make you listen to one song.
There were many people who sang songs with a story.
For example, is there anyone like that?
That's right.
Like Rissen Airi-san, who was synthesized in the final last time,
like Yokoyama Yui-san, and Takahashi Sayaka-san,
I thought that they were very polished.
Thank you very much.
Now, Yudai-san, how was it?
Well, people who have their own interpretation of this song,
or people who sing with a worldview, are naturally attracted to it.
Of course, that rating is also high.
Well, it's the same, but there are people like Yokoyama-san, Oda-san, and Rissen-san who have been around for a long time,
but they have their own worldview of interpretation.
So I thought it was interesting, and Takahashi-san was interesting, and Kawahara-san was interesting too.
I really like how Hama-san expresses the story with his facial expressions properly to the song.
It's very easy to understand that he's showing all of his sad and happy feelings,
but as a viewer, I felt that it was very attractive.
Yes, thank you.
Now, Isogai-san.
There were a lot of people who were really curious about it, but I don't know who to start with.
No problem at all!
First of all, Fukutome-mitsubo-san.
I thought you had a really good high seven.
Personally, I think you're a voice champion right now.
Wow!
Really.
On the other hand, in terms of singing ability, I think you haven't caught up with it yet.
Of course, I want you to practice and do your best, but I felt like I wanted to listen to you for a long time just with that high seven.
If you could catch up with your singing ability even more, I think you might be able to win.
No, it's a little...
It's a live broadcast, isn't it?
It's okay.
One more person.
Oh! Kawahara Misaki-san.
Oh!
This person was singing with a normal voice microphone, but I thought it was a waste of voice to sing with this microphone.
The voice has its own characteristics, and I wanted to hear a voice that I recorded properly.
I thought you had an ice voice.
There are so many voices that I can't introduce them all.
I felt like I was practicing.
That's right.
Everyone was amazing.
How about you, Kawahara-san?
I...
I think Oguri-chan's presence is amazing.
It feels like she was a solo idol.
Yes.
Now, let's take a look at some of the comments posted on Twitter.
First of all, here it is.
I sang thinking of my own 'oh my little girl'.
This is what Oda Erina herself said.
I sang thinking of my own 'oh my little girl'.
You thought of it, didn't you?
I don't know well because I know it.
I think you thought of it.
Yes, it was good.
What's next?
All eight members have a slight itch in their vocals after spending time at home.
Is it because you spent a lot of time at home and practiced at home?
That's right.
Team A and Team K are separated in Japan.
We're doing it one by one in Kodoku prefecture.
Now, about half of the vocal screening for the first day of qualifying is over.
First of all, thank you for your hard work, judges.
Now, let's move on to the weekly announcement.
Team A, Team K and Team 8 who finished vocal screening will be counted.
As soon as the counting is over, we will announce the top 10 at the moment.
By the way, Mr. Yudai, who do you think is in the ranking?
It's here, isn't it?
Oh, it's like this this time.
Hahaha.
You're not going to say it, are you?
Anyway, this is the mid-announcement of the first day of the qualifying round.
Who will remain in the top 12?
Thank you for waiting.
The first round of the final round of the third AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Decision Battle.
The results of the first half of the first day of the qualifying round have been released.

Now, there are two people in the 10th place.
How about these two people, Simon?
No.
What do you think of their names?
Well...
Surprisingly... Surprisingly? What does "surprisingly" mean?
"Surprisingly"...
"Surprisingly" does make sense, but...
I see what you mean.
And they're the same age.
Same age.
I didn't know that.
These three...
I see.
But I've been paying attention to them, too.
Oh, you have?
So I thought, "Oh, I see."
But they're 10th place.
Yeah.
Shadow is 10th place.
Yes.
I've heard of them, too.
Yes.
Okay, let's move on.
Next up is 8th place.
Yes, 8th place.
There are two 8th place winners.
First up is 8th place...
"akb48" "team 8" Okuhara Hinako!
Congratulations!
She sang "Love and Theory".
And we have one more 8th place winner.
"akb48" "team 8"
"akb48" "team 8" "tanguchi" "manaka"
Congratulations!
So we have two 8th place winners.
How was it, "tangeuchi"?
"tangeuchi" sang "growth of love" and "theory" very well.
And "okuhara" sang "Tagedai" very well.
Yes, thank you.
Okay, next up is 6th place?
No, 7th place.
Huh?
7th place.
Huh?
7th place.
Yes, 7th place.
7th place is "akb48" "team 8" Yui Oguri!
Yes!
Congratulations!
Oops, I missed it.
Yes.
I missed it.
I'm sorry.
Yes.
Yes, congratulations!
Okay, Yudai-san.
Yes.
How was Oguri-chan?
Well...
Yes.
But she's still a long way off.
Yes, she is.
Her voice is more polite in "memo" and her voice quality has improved.
Of course, it's highly rated.
But she's still up there.
Yes, she's still up there.
Okay, next up is 6th place?
Yes, I'll announce 6th place.
7th place is "akb48" "team 8" Hama Sayuna!
Oh, Hama-chan! Congratulations!
Okay, next up is Simon-san.
He had a lot of stories in his songs.
Yes.
I thought it was a musical.
You're getting emotional.
From "a" melody to "b" melody to the chorus, it's like a different person.
He has a lot of stories and personality.
Yes.
And I thought his ears were big.
He's a cheerful person.
Yes, I have a lot of impressions of him.
I'm also highly rated.
Yes, thank you.
Okay, next up is 5th place.
5th place is...
This is 4th place, right?
There are 2 people.
4th place is 2 people.
Yes, 2 people are 4th place.
Okay, I'll announce 4th place.
First up is "akb48" "team 8" Kawahara Misaki!
Oh, congratulations!
Okay, next up is 2nd place.
2nd place is "akb48" "team 8" Yokoyama Yui!
Yes, congratulations!
So, 4th place is Yokoyama?
Yes, that's right.
Okay, Takeuchi-san.
How about these 2 people, Yokoyama and Yui?
Yes, I was a little surprised that Yokoyama-san was 4th place.
Of course, I thought he would be in the top place.
I'm looking forward to what happens next.
And Kawahara-san.
I think your song and your cute voice went well together.
I'm looking forward to how you will improve in the future.
Yes, thank you.
Okay, next up is 3rd place.
3rd place is "akb48" "team 8" Takahashi Sayaka!
Yes, congratulations!
Yes, I sang "hanataba" with love.
Okay, Yudai-san.
How about Takahashi Sayaka?
She's in 3rd place.
I wrote down her voice in my memo.
First of all, I like her voice.
And her voice has its own character.
While so many people are listening to it, it still leaves an impression on you.
So...
- Yes. - Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm doing a lot of things. - Of course.
- Yes. - Yes.
So...
When Takahashi-san finished singing,
Simon-san said, "Is it over?"
- I see. - I see.
- I wanted to ask you a little more. - You often say that.
Yes, I did say that.
You wanted to ask me a little more, didn't you?
- Yes. - Your voice...
I thought it was like a sunset.
- Wow. - Wow.
- When you finished singing... - Yes.
I thought your voice and your impression were amazing.
- Wow. - Wow.
I thought your voice and your impression were amazing.
- Yes. - Yes.
- Thank you. - Yes.
Now, let's announce second place.
Second place goes to...
akb48 team 8...
Rissen Airi!
Congratulations!
Now, Rissen...
Takeuchi-san!
- Yes. - Yes.
To be honest,
I'm also a coach myself.
- I see. - I see.
So I support him a little.
But regardless of that,
you sang a song that I could really listen to.
- Yes. - Yes, it was wonderful.
- Thank you. - Yes.
Now, let's announce first place.
First place goes to...
akb48 team 8...
Oda Erina!
Congratulations!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
- Now, Simon. - Thank you.
- How was it? - I thought you had a great sense of how to sing.
I also liked the nuance of it.
Your smile at the end was also great.
Including the song you chose,
it felt like it suited you well.
Whether or not the song you chose suited you well
is linked to your self-producing ability.
- Yes. - Yes.
- I think you sang it beautifully. - Yes.
- Yes.
- Now, Yudai-san, how did you sing it? - Yes.
"Oh, My Little Girl" is a male song, of course,
but you sang it in your own interpretation.
You said you sang it in your own way.
That's exactly what I wanted to hear you sing
- with an acoustic guitar in a live performance. - Oh!
- I see. - It just blew my mind.
- I see. - I want to hear you sing.
Thank you.
- As you can see, we have the results. - Yes.
Now, Takeuchi-san,
what do you think of these 10 contestants?
Well...
I feel like they were left behind because they were so surprised.
Of course, there are still people who will be participating in the competition,
so we'll see how the rankings will develop after this.
First of all, I think it's good for you to be confident that you were left behind.
I hope you'll do your best.
- I'm rooting for you. - Yes.
Thank you very much.
Now, it's the second half of the first day of the qualifying round.
Yes. To continue, viewers, please leave your impressions and opinions of the live broadcast
with the hashtag "#akb48 Singing Power No. 1 Decision" in your tweets.
Now, let's move on to the final screening.
The first group of the second half is SKE48 with 18 contestants.
Now, please proceed.
[music]
I'm Aomi Hinano of SKE48. 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 bud, a garden leaf and a swimsuit.
I hope your cute light red dream will come to an end.
I hope you and your love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day bind me and endless waves will stop.
I hope you and your love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm Aroni Himeka of SKE48. Nice to meet you.
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'd cry
The wind got cold and it smelled like winter
The season to get closer to you is coming soon in this city
As we look at the first snow flowers of this year together
Happiness overflows, I'm not being spoiled or weak
I just want to stay with you forever and ever
I honestly think so
The pure white snow flowers that were falling in this city
I gently draw memories in our hearts
With you from now on and forever
Thank you very much.
I'm Yoshino Kitagawa from SKE48.
Nice to meet you.
I can't say "I love you"
You're the only one I can see
Every time our eyes meet, every time I hear your voice
It makes me want you, it makes me sad
I love you, but it hurts
Even now, how do you see me?
When you see someone else, you don't look at them
You make me look back
Even if we were to hug and kiss each other
It wouldn't work, it wouldn't work
Can I love you?
Can't you love me?
I can't help it anymore, my feelings won't stop
I wish we could be together forever and ever
I'm serious, I'm serious
I like you
Thank you very much!
I'm Mayka Sugiyama of ske48. Nice to meet you!
You and summer's end, dreams of the future, I won't forget your big hope.
Ten years later, August, will we meet again? Believe me.
The best memories...
The moment we met, you called me at the intersection on the way home.
Let's go home together.
I was embarrassed and hid my face in my bag.
Actually, I was very happy.
Ah, fireworks bloom beautifully in the night sky and it's a little sad.
Ah, the wind flows with time.
I was happy and had fun. We did a lot of adventures.
In our secret base.
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.
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 on my face, isn't it?
Best memories...
Thank you very much.
I'm Kano Nojima of SKE48.
Thank you for your support.
[piano music]
That's why I've decided to go see you now
I want you to hear this song in my pocket
I gently turned up the volume and checked it out
Oh goodbye days, I feel like they'll change
From yesterday until now, so long
Because I have this uncool kindness by my side
La la la la love with you
Oh oh oh oh
I don't want to feel sad as much as I can
But you'll come to me, won't you?
With a smile at that time
Yeah hello my friend, I wish I could say that
When we hum the same song, stay by my side, I wish
I'm glad I met this uncool kindness
La la la la goodbye days
Thank you very much!
My name is Yamauchi Suzuran, and I play the piano for SKE48.
Nice to meet you!
We closed the door of our room
I said goodbye to my memories
Since then, half a year has passed
I can finally smile
I'm busy every day
I'm walking my own new life
I want to see you
On sleepless nights
I think of your warmth
And close my eyes
Thank you very much.
I'm Ego Yuna of SK48.
Nice to meet you.
On the way back home, we played around and walked around.
For no reason at all, I made you angry.
I wanted to see all kinds of faces of you.
Your big eyes and your voice like you're about to cry
still tighten up my heart.
Among the people I passed by, I chased you.
I was looking for something that wouldn't change.
I won't forget you of that day.
I have feelings that transcend time.
I want to see you right now.
I was looking for something that wouldn't change.
I won't forget you of that day.
I have feelings that transcend time.
I want to see you right now.
This is S.K.48, Yaka Okamoto. thank you.
You loved the sunset over Utarase Bridge.
You said you wanted to live here, in a beautiful place like that.
You came all the way to this city, shaken up by a car accident.
Even now, I can't forget those days and I'm still alive.
Even now, when I go to the Yagumo Shrine, I pray for you.
If only one of my wishes could come true, I'd like to go back to those days.
The cityscape you said you liked will fade away today as well.
A wide sky and distant mountains are the streets we walked together.
It's a city with beautiful sunsets.
I'm Nalumi Katawaka from SKE48. Thank you for having me.
Only the number of tears can make you stronger, like flowers blooming on asphalt.
Don't be afraid of everything you see, tomorrow will come for you.
I want to see you all of a sudden.
What happened in the late night?
Even if you panic and make it a joke, your smile is sad.
Look, there's moonlight on top of the building.
If you throw away your memories and pride you're holding on to, something good will happen again.
Only the number of tears can make you stronger, like flowers blooming on asphalt.
Don't be afraid of everything you see, tomorrow will come for you.
Only the number of tears can make you stronger, like flowers swaying in the wind.
Believe in yourself.
Tomorrow will come, anytime.
Tomorrow will come, for you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Miharu Kawashima of s.k.48. Thank you for your support.
Ride on a spring-colored train and take me to the sea
Because I'll snuggle up to your cigarette-smelling shirt
Even if half a year has passed since the day we met
I still won't hold your hand
I will follow you
I want to follow you
I will follow you
I may be a little weak-minded, but you're a wonderful person
I like the red sweet pea that bloomed in my heart
I will follow you more than anyone else I've met until now
I like the way you live
I can't go home like this
I can't go home
The day spring came to my heart was a red sweet pea
Thank you very much!
My name is Kino Shirai of ske48.
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 a swimsuit.
I'll give you a flower bud and 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 waves will properly stop.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm Akane Takayanagi of SKE48.
Nice to meet you.
Should I try listening to my favorite song by myself?
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 a day like this would come
Making six with her
No, it's over, it's just that time has piled up
You, who were exhausted, loved my illusion
It's you, isn't it? There's nothing for me to talk about
Making things better, love has disappeared
Don't come running to me again
You, who were exhausted, loved my illusion
Thank you very much.
I'm Nao Furuhata of ske48. Nice to meet you.
Hey, why do you look so sad as you look down?
The blue sky is so dazzling.
I don't know since when, but even when I hold your hand tight, you don't let me hold you back.
If I could say anything, would I be able to go back to that day?
Even if there's only anxiety filling my heart, even if there isn't, it won't disappear.
I want you to love me like you did back then, even if it's a wish that won't come true.
Do these feelings always reach your heart?
I love you, I love you, I need you.
Why is it that only my heart has been taken away from me?
Please tell me goodbye
I'm Ishikawa Canon of SKE48. Nice to meet you.
I'm getting depressed, my face is disappearing
I hear children's voices far, far away
I wonder if you're somewhere in this sky
At the end of summer, we escaped together
I found you in this park
Do you remember something?
Even if we can't meet, I want to follow my memories and see the same happiness
I want to go to you right now and run to you
Even if it's dark and you can't see anything and you're scared, it's okay
The countless starry skies are still here
Don't cry, because of the beautiful sky we saw together in the past
Thank you very much!
I'm SKE48's Sato Akaho. Nice to meet you!
In the passing of time, I met you.
It's strange that the miracle I wished for is still with me.
I want to see you, but I can't.
Only the time that we can't meet passes me by.
I slip through the door and remember you again.
You and that person laugh together.
My beloved person, don't make me sad.
There are nights when I'm tired of crying and sleeping.
Don't look at the past and only look at me.
You're everything.
Stronger than you think.
If it's a kind lie, I don't need it.
What I want is you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Miki Ito of ske48. Nice to meet you.

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 now transcend time and pierce eternity
The place we arrived at after passing through many seasons
Cultivate a different love after a long journey
Thank you very much.
My name is Yui Kato of ske48. Nice to meet you.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, big hope, I won't forget.
I believe we'll meet again in August ten years from now.
I'll make the best memories.
The moment we met by chance, at the crossing on the way home, you called out to me, "Let's go home together."
I was very, very happy while hiding my face in my bag as if I was embarrassed.
Ah, 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.
I'll never forget you, the end of summer, our dreams for the future, and our big hope.
I believe we'll meet again in August ten years from now.
I knew you were going to shout "thank you" from the bottom of your heart until the end.
It's sad to say goodbye with a smile and holding back tears, isn't it?
I'll make the best memories.
Thank you very much.

Tell me why is it sad, you inside, you now
Even if the first touch is the last
Tell me who is inside if I'm allowed
Let me in you again and just stay, pray just stay
When the End of roll doesn't flow, nothing heals anymore
Repeatedly years, the skin stuck above the eyes
Don't say it's true, let's say I need you
Don't say it's true, let's say I miss you
Tell me what is inside you is all you have now
Eyes can't see inside, shoulder side, this too
Tell me who is inside, if you'll forgive me
Let me in you again, just for now, stay by my side
Thank you very much.
(applause)
Now, in the second half of the game, we first had SKE48 18 people sing.
So, I asked 18 people, "Takeshi-san, how was it?"
Well, I think the place where SKE48 members are singing is a little different from where we were before.
I don't know if it's because of that.
I felt a little nervous, but at the same time, it was like a stage trip.
My song will fill this space.
I thought there were a lot of people with that kind of strong feeling.
Yes.
Well, for example, if you were to give it to someone who left an impression on you...
Let's see...
Well, there were really a lot of people.
Of course, Kano Nojima-san was amazing.
He had some room to spare.
I think he really wanted to convey his feelings.
And Hinano Aomori-san, who sang for SKE48.
Yes.
She was very calm and made the stage her own.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Now, Yudai-san.
Yes.
How was it?
Wonderful.
Many people are good at using microphones.
Microphones?
Microphones.
Of course, I listen to music with headphones, but as a microphone user,
Takayanagi-san has a very good voice.
And the three-dimensionality.
Of course, it's the sound you're recording, but it's still three-dimensional.
I think this piano is probably a pretty loud piano.
But I think it's amazing that a singer who doesn't lose to it wins.
Yes, thank you very much. Now, Simon-san.
That's right.
Well, who is it?
Well, Yamauchi Suzuran-san.
The way you sang the lyrics one line at a time and the way you hit your head was very pleasant.
You know how you get caught every time you sing, right?
Yes, yes, yes.
That was really pleasant.
Anyway, I thought the song selection was amazing.
Yes, that was also pleasant.
Also, there was someone I was really curious about.
I mean, there were a lot of song selection "everything".
Minsha-san's "everything" was also good, but everyone's pronunciation of "thing" in "everything" became very Japanese-like.
Please do your best there.
No, I didn't think I'd be taught English.
No, but it's important, after all. That's where the persuasion of the song changes.
Waga-san, how about you?
You came here for the first and second time, right?
Yes.
And you said, "Why isn't this person coming out?"
Furuhata!
Furuhata Naozo finally came out.
I thought it was amazing, but how was it, Takeuchi-san?
I especially thought that you had great expressiveness.
Yes.
I also felt like my feelings were going up with every word you said.
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
Yes, then let's see the impressions of the viewers who were brought in by Twitter here.
Yes, first of all, here it is.
As expected of Nojima-san, "As expected of you!" It's not just "thank you" but "I've been listening to you for a long time and I want to listen to you for a long time", do you understand that feeling?
No, it was amazing.
You understand it, don't you?
Yes.
Even if you say "wow", you can understand it here.
Yes.
Next is...
"As expected of you, Churi-san! The second time finalist's ability".
Ah, Takayanagi.
Yes.
I like Takayanagi-san too.
Ah, I should have done a sub-screen broadcast of this.
Yes.
The generations are different.
It was amazing.
The generations are similar.
It was amazing.
Yes, thank you very much.
Now, let's return to the singer evaluation.
Lastly, we have AKB48 Team B and Team 4.
In addition, there are 18 researchers who belong to Team 4.
Now, please proceed.
I'm Akb48's Ootaki Hitomi. Nice to meet you.
Why do we meet each other? We don't know anything.
When do we meet each other? We don't know anything.
Where have you been? Have you lived under that distant sky?
There were two stories. You are the thread in my hand.
I am the thread on your side.
One day, I may warm someone up and sell them.
There were two stories. You are the thread in my hand.
I am the thread on your side.
People call it happiness.
Thank you very much.
I'm Maho Oomori of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
In the dazzling morning, you smile and open the window.
Tell me how it all began, and we'll go out to the city we always go to.
The two of us have spent our days in vain,
but we treasure the light we lost and shine now.
Your dream is now...
...important.
Thank you.
I look you in the eye, but my right hand, which is connected to you,
awkwardly conveys my straightforward feelings.
Forever and ever, I just want to laugh with you.
As if I'm checking the path I believe in,
I walk slowly now.
Thank you very much.
I'm Shizuka Oya from akb48. Thank you for your support.
When this day comes to an end, you'll be by my side, won't you?
Give me a gentle kiss.
If you let me know, I'll run to you, I'll go to you right away.
I'll put everything I have in my mouth, I'll hold my breath, I'll cool my fingers, and I'll go see you right away.
Even if you don't get rewarded, even if you don't get tied up, you are just one unfortunate person.
When this day comes to an end, if you're by my side, I don't need tomorrow.
I'll stroke your hair, I'll hold your shoulder, until you fall asleep.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Satone Kubo.
Nice to meet you.

I'm Saito Ahayuna of akb48. Thank you for your support!
whisper to me.
I'll always be there for you.
Sometimes you rush too much and lose yourself.
It can't be helped.
I'll always be there for you.
I was embraced by your smile.
Best friend.
Always, always, always...
Best friend.
Thank you very much.
I'm Yoko Takitaka of akb48. Nice to meet you.
The voice of the stars fading into the night sky.
The light blue moon shining in the dawn.
The sea we swam in together.
Why does it change color before we know it?
I don't want you to fall asleep
I still want to feel you
If you're lonely
I can't even stay by your side
Knowing the pain of loss
You can grasp other love
That's what I pray for
When you want to cry or when you're in pain
Just remember me
A place we can lean on on a summer day so far away
Warmth, life, joy
They're all in our hearts
Thank you very much!
I'm Meg Taniguchi of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
We were always together, we walked one step at a time
We part ways and walk our own paths.
With a heart overflowing with loneliness
I look up at the sky that looks like it's about to start crying
Anata o omotta And I thought of you
Even on nights without you
I won't cry anymore during that time.
Because you're doing your best and you're getting stronger
Kimi mo miteiru darou I'm sure you're watching, too
This crescent moon is about to disappear. It looks like it's going to disappear.
Because we're connected and because we love each other
Mikatsuki ni te o nobashita I reached out my hand to the three days
Kimi ni todoke kono omou I want you to know how I feel
Thank you very much.
I'm Seina Fukuoka of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
I want to feel it all over my body and keep walking with you In your dream
I'll approach you with my nostalgic stretched legs Natsugashii nobiashi de chikazuku yo
The sparkling waves pretend to be on a sandy beach.
Throw away everything you were so attached to.
I've decided on you now, Ima anata ni kimeta ano konna
I had half given up thinking there was no one left to meet.
Feel the swaying feelings in your body Yureru omoi karadachuu kanjite
I want to stay by your side like this forever Kono mama zutto soba ni itai
Like that dark blue sky Aoku musunda ano sora no you na
I want to keep walking with you In your dream Kimi to aruki tsuzuketai In your dream
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Yamabe Ayu. Nice to meet you.
My hair caught in my eyes and my fingers scratched apart
My lonely back seems to be about to break
While making the unreliable sun bleed
I was staring at your smiling profile
Before I knew it, all of it came into my sight
Why did I notice the pain in my heart?
I'm looking for you
In the depths of my hidden eyes
So that no one can see me
While wandering around without a place to go
The world I see with you has always been beautiful
There is only one faintly shining little star in the sky
Thank you very much!
My name is Asai Nanami and I'm from AKB48.
Thank you for having me.
You said it wasn't a strong excuse.
I believe.
On my way home, my breath is getting colder.
Only the stars are swaying.
I'm about to forget even the faint warmth I just felt.
I realized for the first time that I could love someone.
I was the one who cried.
The constellations of winter that were connected
were staring at me like they were disappearing into the sky.
I believe.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kaori Inagaki of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
The love that was a t-shirt Dare yori mo kagayaku kimi
Someday I'll overtake the sunlight, someday I'll overtake the sunlight, someday I'll overtake the sunlight The color of love I'll draw from now on hizashi itsuka oikoshite korekara egaiteku koi no iro It'll color the beginning page hajimari no peji irodoru yo The sunlight behind the two stars ura no hizashi futatsu no hoshi ni Trying to overlap the future of the two of us
Your kindness fills up my heart, which I can't take away. Before I know it, my heart is filled with your kindness. A casual gesture, I want to keep staring at your face as you talk about your dreams.
The words that make me want to smile go beyond the present and pierce through eternity.
The place we arrived at after passing through many seasons
Let's cultivate the love we vowed after a long journey.
Thank you very much.
My name is Miyu Omori of akb48.
We were together all the time, walking down the same path.
We part ways and walk our own separate paths.
Holding my heart overflowing with loneliness,
I look up at the sky and feel like I'm about to cry.
And I think of you.
Even on nights without you,
I don't feel like crying anymore.
Because you're working hard for me.
Because you're getting stronger for me.
You're looking at me too, aren't you?
This disappearing crescent moon.
Because we're connected, aren't we?
Because I love you, aren't we?
I reach my hand out to the crescent moon.
My feelings reach you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Nana Okada of AKB48 and 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 anxiety
Even if I cry, even if I cry, you won't disappear
I love you, I love you, I need you forever
I want you to love me like you used to
Even if my wish 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 my wish won't come true, please tell me goodbye
Thank you very much.
My name is AKB48 Kurosu Haruka. 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.
Now that we're together, you're so dear to me.
If we hold hands, we can fight. If we hate each other, we can be alone.
Each and every one of them will lead you to where you want to go.
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!
AKB48, I'm Kyo Tachiyama. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for choosing me like this on this journey
Before you use me, please read this instruction carefully
Treat me correctly and kindly, okay?
I won't accept anything for free
Please forgive me
Sometimes I'm suddenly in a bad mood.
Even if you ask me why, even if you don't answer me, I'll leave you alone and get angry.
I'm always sorry, but in that case,
I'll go out with you without getting angry.
If you praise me regularly, I'll keep it for a long time.
If you say my nails are beautiful, I'll notice even small changes.
Keep an eye on me.
But you don't have to notice that I've gained weight or anything like that.
If you're getting a little older and you look away,
Remember the day we first met.
Please continue to take care of me.
Smile and forgive me for being like this.
Always cherish me.
Because I'm a permanent guarantee.
Thank you very much.
I'm Mizuki Yamauchi of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
That's how I decided
This song in my pocket
I want you to listen to it
I gently turned up the volume
I want you to check it out
I feel like I'm going to change, just like I did yesterday
So long, I'm not cool anymore
Your kindness is always by my side
LaLaLa with you
I don't want to feel sad if possible
But it will come, won't it?
At that time, with a smile
Yeah, "Hello my friend"
I wish I could say it
When we hum the same song
Stay by my side
I wish, I'm glad I met
Your kindness that's not cool
LaLaLa...
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Tasena Ishiwata. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
On the way back home, I made fun of you and walked around.
I made you angry for no reason.
I wanted to see all kinds of faces of you.
Your big eyes and your voice that seemed like it was going to make you cry still tighten 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 go beyond time.
I want to see you right now.
I was looking for something that wouldn't change.
I won't forget you from that day.
I have feelings that go beyond time.
I want to see you right now.
AKB48 Yoshihashi Yuzuka. Thank you for having me.
When this day comes to an end, I'll be by your side.
Give me a gentle kiss.
If you let me go, I'll run to you, I'll go to you right away.
I'll let out everything I have and breathe out.
I'll cool my fingers and go see you right away.
Even if you don't get rewarded, even if you don't bond with me,
you are just a person of fate.
If I could stay by your side when today ends,
I don't need a tomorrow.
I'll stroke your hair, I'll hold your shoulder until you fall asleep.
Thank you very much!
Lastly, we had a small screening of 18 researchers who belong to AKB48 Team 8, Team 4, and Team 4.
Mr. Yudai, how did you feel when you saw 18 people?
I felt confused.
Confused?
I don't know what to do.
Do you have any memorable moments?
Let me see...
Mr. Otake and Mr. Oya from Top Batter were in third place.
They had a sense of stability and I really liked them.
And of course, Mr. Asai and Mr. Okada were really good.
I don't think I have much to say about them.
All right, Mr. Asaimon.
How was it?
I noticed that the mask of the pianist changes every time the song changes.
It's like that every time, but the MVP of this competition is the pianist.
He's alone.
He's alone?!
Yes.
Out of 130 people, he's alone this time.
So he was trying to make a difference with his mask.
That's right.
I changed my mask because of you.
I respect you as a pianist, and of course, you as a singer.
What I was curious about was...
Mr. Okada and Ms. Nana were great.
Their pitch was perfect and they had a good sense of style.
The lyrics were very catchy and I think there was a very high falsetto in the song.
I was impressed by their technique.
I wish they added one more color.
One more color?
Yes, one more color.
I think Mr. Okada has enough of it.
But if they add one more color, I think it will be even better.
It's a high-level story.
I thought it was very good.
So, Ms. Takeuchi, what did you think of it?
All of you who just mentioned your names were really great.
And I really felt what you've accumulated so far.
Mr. Asai's low voice and strong heart were well- balanced.
I thought it went well with the song "Orion" you chose this time.
And Mr. Yoshihashi, you are a research student.
I really like your voice.
I think it will suit you well if you sing songs with a lot of drama.
Thank you very much.
What did you think of it, Mr. Waga?
Well...
Oh, it's quiet.
Well...
I've known you for a long time.
The better you sing, the more you laugh.
I'm sorry.
That's your personality.
I'm sorry, Ms. Shi.
But I think you sang well.
Now, let's see the comments from our viewers on Twitter.
Here is the first one.
First time and second time in a row, I'm first in the qualifier.
It's very stable.
That's good.
Even though we're watching a music video here, the atmosphere in the studio changes.
That's right.
That's amazing.
I was surprised.
Yes.
Is there another one?
Yes, let's continue.
It's the same song, but the stage is different and the world is different.
It's interesting.
I think so, too.
Is there such a thing?
Mr. Saimon, if the singer is different...
That's right.
If the song has many different songs, I think you can enjoy it in an interesting way.
I think that's where life comes in.
If it's the same song, you can feel the overlap of life.
I think enjoying the difference is one of the benefits of being number one singers.
That's right.
Thank you.
Shall we look at another one?
Here is another comment.
I was nervous just by watching it.
Wow!
Ito.
How was it?
Let's start with Mr. Otake.
How was it, Mr. Otake?
I like Mr. Otake's heavy voice very much.
As Mr. Saimon said earlier, "Ito" is a song that expresses your own sense of life.
I was able to convey it. Thank you very much.
That's good.
That's it for the first day of qualifying.
Judges, thank you for your hard work.
Thank you.
So...
Mr. Yudai, who do you think is in first place?
I don't like this role.
Can't we do something about it?
It's always you, Yudai.
It's you on the first day.
Be prepared for it on the second day.
Oh, I see.
I understand.
How is it?
What?
I'm sorry.
First place, second place, third place.
It's a judgement of 20 people.
Thank you for your patience.
The first round of the final round of the group singing power No. 1 final round has been decided.
Yes, which of the 68 members of akb48 and ske48 are ranked in?
Yes, if you are not ranked in here, you will not be able to advance to the finals.
That's why this is a pretty tough place for new players.
Yes, if you are not ranked in here, you will not be able to advance to the finals.
Now, let's announce the results of the first day of the preliminary round.
First of all, the announcement of No. 20 to No. 11.
Yes.
First of all, there are three people in No. 19, so it will be announced from No. 19.
Yes.
Then I will go.
First of all, the first person is...
Yes.
akb48 team 4, Miyu Oomori!
Yes, congratulations!
Well, my name hasn't been announced yet, so...
Yes.
Would you like me to ask who it is?
Would you like me to summarize it for you?
Oh, yes!
Yes.
Yes, it's the second person.
The second person in No. 19 is...
akb48 team 8, Hinako Okuhara!
Yes, congratulations!
Yes.
And the third person is...
akb48 team 8, Manaka Tangchi!
Yes, congratulations!
Congratulations!
The three of you are in No. 19.
Yes.
Well, Saimo-san, here you are.
The three of you...
I haven't been following my own memo yet.
That's right.
You're like a person who's been pushed around by a singer!
Yes.
Well, Takefu-san!
Yes, well, no. 19 is Miyu Oomori, right?
That's right, his name hasn't been announced yet.
Yes.
Yes, well, I've actually been checking your comments, and...
Yes.
your singing...
I was a little nervous today, but...
I thought you had a very good singing skill.
And what I want to tell you is...
I felt like my feelings for you really reached you.
And I also gave you a score.
Yes.
Thank you.
And, well...
Yudai-san!
Yes.
What do you think of this...
Can either of you finish it?
Oh, no, well...
Oh, can I?
Oh, go ahead.
Oh, well, Saimo-san!
Um...
Okuhara Hinako-san!
Yes!
Her singing voice...
I liked it the most.
Oh, did you?
I thought it was unique and No. 1.
Wow.
The song you chose was also very good.
Yes, yes.
So...
Your singing skills improved even more...
And you took advantage of that uniqueness...
Of course, you had a basic pitch voice...
But when you combined those things together...
I felt like you really stood out.
Oh...
Yes, thank you.
Yes.
Ok, Yudai-san!
Yes!
Ok, Tabuchi...
Manaka-san...
Yes.
How did you like it?
Um...
I thought you sang it very carefully.
I also checked it.
That's what I thought.
You sang it very carefully...
And I thought you sang it naturally.
Yes, thank you.
Ok, then...
What's next?
18th place...
Yes.
18th place is...
AKB48 Team 8...
Oguri Yui!
Oh!
Congratulations!
Ok, Oguri-chan...
Yes...
The one who finished first...
Oh, no, Saimo-san...
Yes, yes...
Um...
I think you sang the song "Daisuki"...
Yes.
Um...
The rhythm was really good...
Yes.
And the song itself had a great beat...
Yes.
So even if you sang it in acapella...
It felt like it came out in a really groovy way.
Yes.
And...
Um...
I think it would have been better if you had more facial expressions...
And since you like the song "Daisuki"...
I think it would have been better if you had more of a "daisuki" feeling...
But...
Yes.
18th place...
Yes, congratulations!
Ok, next...
17th place...
Yes.
17th place is...
AKB48 Team 8...
Hama Sayuna!
Yes, congratulations!
Team 8 is now connected!
Yes!
Ok, so...
How was it?
The person who found it is...
Yes!
Ah, no...
Yes!
As I said earlier...
She was able to express herself really well.
Of course, you need to be good at singing...
But through that...
As information...
She was able to convey it really well...
She made up stories...
She practiced really hard for it...
It's simply conveyed...
Yes...
Ok, thank you!
Ok, so...
Next...
Next is...
16th place...
16th place is...
SKE48 Researcher...
Sawada Canon!
Yes, congratulations!
This researcher...
Yes!
I don't think his name was mentioned...
But...
Inside you...
The person who sang it...
Yes!
How was it?
His low notes were really powerful...
I think you know what you're good at...
And you made use of it in your song selection...
But instead of that...
In the chorus...
You sing in high notes...
I think that was a little better...
Well...
That's right...
From top to bottom...
It's like...
How should I say it...
You sang a song with a wide range of keys...
Of course, the low notes were powerful...
But...
I think it's better...
If you can sing higher notes...
Thank you!
Ok, so...
Next...
There are two people...
So...
14th place...
Will be announced...
Yes!
First...
14th place is...
SKE48 Researcher...

Yes!
Your names...
Yes!
So...
Yoshihashi-san is a researcher...
I'm sure you're going to be one of them...
But I'm really looking forward to it...
I can see that you're already trying to express yourself...
And...
Aomi-san...
You're really calm...
And...
Maybe...
In the future...
When you're on the stage...
How can I say it...
You're pushing forward...
On top of your current sense of stability...
And...
You're putting more of your feelings into it...
Your voice is really strong...
I'm sure you're going to be one of them...
I'm really looking forward to it...
Yes!

She's very down-to-earth...
I don't mean it in a bad way...
I think she sings very well...
I like her first voice...

I like her pitch...

Very educationally speaking, I'd say?
Yes.
Thank you.
So, Boutaque Hitomi-san...
The only one to also receive this award today, right?
What did you think of her performance, Yuudai-san?
First of all, she had like...
A lot of lyrics right off the bat.
And, her voice sounded even clearer in the high tone as well.
I don't know how to say it...
I think it's about love, but I can feel it in the lyrics.
It really left an impression on me.
That's what it says.
I wrote it too.
I can feel it in the lyrics.
I think that's what it's about.
I see. Thank you.
And now...
We have the top nine girls.

akb48

Takeuchi-san.
Asai Nanami.
As I thought, you're in the top three.
It's like...
How can I say it?
The voice itself...
It's like...
It's like... a mysterious nuance.
I could feel your presence and the world of your song.
Thank you.
And now...
I'll announce 8th place.
8th place is...

Congratulations!
How was it?
Yes, yes.
You said it with a low voice.
Yes, I did.
I was curious about your T-shirt.
But...
There are four of us.
Let's leave it like that.
I think we can see it tomorrow.
Yes, you're right.
You left a great impression on me.
And your song "hanataba" is a song that requires a lot of singing skills.
But you sang it beautifully.
In that sense, you had a self-produced ability.
I sang the song I had in me.
I think it's important.
Thank you.
And now...
I'll announce 7th place.
7th place is...
AKB48 Team Eight, Rissen Airi!
Yes, congratulations!
Congratulations!
You ranked 7th place.
Yes.
Then, Yudai.
Yes.
How was "Rissen Airi"?
It was a stable singing ability.
But it's your song.
It's a little different from the original song.
It was expressed in your own way.
The expression...
Yes, thank you.
And now...
I'll announce 6th place.
6th place is...
akb48 Team Eight, Erina Oda!
Yes, congratulations!
Yes.
Yes, congratulations!
Yes.
Congratulations!
What?
You said you were 1st place.
6th place.
Oh, I see.
And now...
Saimo.
Yes.
Yes, Oda.
Well...
You sang the pitch in a good way.
And I like the nuance of it.
And...
It's a song like "oh my little girl".
And you said "thank you" with a good smile at the end.
I like that gap.
It's important for idols.
Yes.
Thank you.
And now...
I'll announce 4th place.
4th place is...
ske48 Team Kates, Nao Furuhata!
Yes, congratulations!
Congratulations!
Yes.
And...
4th place is...
ske48 Team Kates, Takaya Nagi, Akane!
Yes, congratulations!
Yes.
They're lined up.
Yes, they are.
It's easy to get.
Yes.
Well...
Which one is it?
Mr. Furuhata...
Mr. Takeuchi...
What's your impression?
Well...
As I said before,
I felt that they were well prepared to tell the story with lyrics.
They also sang in a well-thought-out manner.
And...
Nagi Takatani...
I think she had a strong consciousness that she was a musician.
Yes.
I was attracted to her.
Her dialect...
Yes.
I think it was wonderful.
And now...
I'll announce Top 3.
Yes.
3rd place is...
ske48 Teams, Yamauchi Suzuram!
Yes, congratulations!
She's strong.
Yes.
Well...
Shall we announce it?
Yes, please.
Well...
Yes, Suzuram Yamauchi!
And now, Mr. Takaya!
Yes.
As I said before,
I think it's related to the rhythm of the song.
It's Matsuda Seiko's ``I wanted to meet you''.
It's a ballad song.
When the song starts, I felt the rhythm of the song.
If it's an up-tempo song, I think it's important.
But I think it's wonderful that it's a ballad song and it's well-balanced.
I'd like to listen to it again.
Yes.
It's a live broadcast.
Yes, it's a live broadcast.
And now...
And now, I'll announce 2nd place.
Yes.
2nd place goes to...
akb48, team 4, stu48, Nana Takatani!
Yes, congratulations!
Thank you.
Mr. Takaya is second.
Are you in second place?
Nana Takaya, 2nd place!
2nd place!
Well...
Yes.
Well...
Shall we announce it?
Yes, Mr. Yamauchi!
Yes.
2nd place?
Yes.
Well, of course...
Well, I don't know about the scores of the top players in this town, but...
To be honest, I'd rank them, but...
I don't think it's in that order.
It's just a little preference of each of us who are judging.
I think we can talk about it at that level.
That's what I thought, too.
Yes.
And now...
1st place of the first day of qualifying is...
ske48, team s, Nana Takatani!
Yes, congratulations!
Thank you.
Wow, that's amazing!
Yes.
So, starting from the first day of qualifying, these 20 players have used their chance to advance to the finals.
Congratulations!
Now...
Well...
Yes, Saimon!
Yes.
And Nojima and Kano in 1st place!
Yes, of course!
Yes.
But...
How do you think?
Well, it's my first time participating in this tournament, but...
If you look at it closely, you'll see that it's a surprising ranking.
Well, I think all of them are good players, but...
The subtle order of the rankings is very exquisite.
To be honest, it's a little different from what I expected.
I was like, "I see."
Yes.
Now, let me talk about Takayanagi, who was the only one who left a comment earlier.
Yes.
No one else has commented on him yet, so I'll tell you about him.
Yes.
He has a very good vocal range and...
Um...
What was he in 4th place?
4th place.
I thought he was amazing, but...
Yes.
I thought he was in 4th place, but...
And this guy...
I wish his vowels were more pronounced.
He sings very well, but his vowels aren't pronounced very well.
Sometimes, it's hard for me to hear the lyrics.
If I had heard it more clearly, I would have been able to hear it better.
Yes.
And he's in 4th place, right?
Yes.
Ah, 4th place... It's hard for me to understand.
Yes.
Yes, so...
Now, AKB48 Group Vocal Range No. 1 Deciding Round!
The first day of the qualifying round is almost over!
Yes!
Yes, and the second day of the qualifying round for AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round will be broadcast live from 8 p.m. tomorrow night for four and a half hours!
Yes, it's longer than today!
Tomorrow's qualifying round will be judged by four groups, and 20 people will advance to the final tournament!
Yes, so everyone, please take a look!
So, uh...huh?
So, uh...after the first day of the qualifying round...
Uh...Mr. Yudai...
Yes?
What will happen tomorrow!?
Please watch it!
Yes, please watch it!
Tomorrow night, 8 p.m. to four and a half hours!
So, uh...see you tomorrow!
Goodbye!
