You must have felt regretful in the last tournament.

I'm the most nervous.
I'll do my best today, so thank you for your support.
- Thank you for your support. - Thank you for your support.
Next up is singer Yoko Takahashi, who is well- known for many songs such as "Cruel Angel's Thesis" and "Soul's Rufran".
Good evening, everyone.
This is my first time participating in this tournament.
I may be more nervous than you are, but please relax and let me hear your best song.
- Thank you for your support. - Thank you for your support.
And in three consecutive tournaments, he will judge the final tournament.
He is Mr. Inoue Yoshimasa, the composer of a number of songs in the AKB48 group.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
To be honest for the third time, everyone, please take home the trophy that you couldn't get until now.
- Thank you for your support. - Thank you for your support.
And finally, he will judge the final tournament.
He is Mr. Saimon Isogai, a singer-songwriter who participated in Yuzu-san's live performance as a bandmaster.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
I've been watching all of your 134 singers since the preliminary round.
I was watching them on video at the time, but today I'm listening to them in a live band.
Personally, it's been a while since I've been on such a big stage like this and listened to them loudly like this, so I'm looking forward to hearing your singing from the bottom of my heart.
- Thank you for your support. - Thank you for your support. - Thank you for your support.
Today, these four people will judge the final tournament.
Once again, Mr. Kurosa, the final tournament is finally starting, isn't it?
- That's right. I also voted for it, so I feel a lot of responsibility right now. - Yes.
The voices you've been singing in the hallway have been echoing in the dressing room.
I think you've been practicing hard and hard to get better at singing.
I think there were times when you were frustrated and couldn't do it.
There are many things like that today, so music is about enjoying the sound.
Please enjoy playing in a live band and sing as hard as you can.
- Thank you for your wonderful performance. - Thank you for your wonderful performance.
- And, Ms. Takahashi, it's your first time judging, but... - Yes.
What are you paying attention to?
That's right. I think singing is how you live your life.
As a singer, I want you to see and hear what kind of wonderful life you will have and what kind of wonderful dreams you will have in the future.
- Thank you very much. - Yes, please.
- Now, let's have the members stand by for the singers. - Thank you very much. - Everyone, thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
- Please send them an encore. - Thank you very much.
- Now, each singer will begin. - Yes.
- This tournament where fate changes overnight, who will shine in its glory? - Thank you very much.
- Now, I will explain the rules of this tournament. - The rules will be explained by...
AKB48 Group Sports Day and Rock-paper-scissors Tournament's live MC, DJ and narrator, Nobutake Ichikawa.
- Mr. Ichikawa, please. - Thank you for having me. - Thank you for having me.
- Now, I will explain the rules of this tournament.
- From now on, the four groups will be divided into four groups and perform singing tests.
- The judges will rate each group with 100 points and the top two groups will advance to the finals.
- The members who advance to the finals will perform one more song.
- The member with the highest score in the final singing test will be the winner.
- And for the members who won...
- Mr. Yasuhi Akimoto will produce an original solo song for us!
I'd like to ask Ms. Murayama, but an original solo song is something to be happy about, isn't it?
Yes, I think it's not easy to get a solo song, and I'm sure there are many members who like singing and participating in this project, so I'm definitely happy about a solo song.
Who will shine in that glory? Thank you for your attention.
Now, in addition to the original solo song, the eight finalists will also hold a full band finalist live.
In addition, there will be a special award for judges from this competition.
In the final competition, one of the eight finalists will receive a special award from the judges.
The members who were chosen will appear in the finalist live!
Ms. Murayama, aren't you happy with this kind of live performance?
No, I think this is a live performance of those who have been chosen, so I think this will probably lead to this one step of wanting to win.
Those who want to see it also want to see it very much, so I'd love to look forward to it.
Thank you very much. I think it will be a big motivation for us.
Now, it seems that some of you have made a standby.
Those of you who are watching the live broadcast, please give us your impressions with the hashtag #akb48singerpowerno.1 deciding line and tweet us more and more.
Who will be the singer of this competition?

HKT48...
Toyonaga Aki!
Please subscribe and follow me on twitter!
A simple step in the dust I threw at you
A dial I look at and pass by
A number I write with my voice
An excuse I spit out
Even if I cry all day
It's meaningless
Faded values
Drop it, cherry
I look up at the sky and it flies and carries me
Cherry on my lip
What's more important than speed is
Falling
Cherry, always up beat
Reach me, more in my heart
Do you think I'm beautiful?
A moment ago, dark red
Even more, late
Cherry on my lip
I sing with all my might
Falling
Cherry, always up beat
Fly away, cherry
The fruit you touch is also seductive
Your cheek is a vivid hydroplic
I'm getting numb, cherry
The temptation of papaya on a dry morning
Cherry on your lips
If you don't tell me, I'll freeze more
Cherry, always up beat
Shake me more and more
Your red and beautiful words
After a moment of darkness, more and more
On your late whispers
I'm getting numb, cherry
The temptation of papaya on a dry morning
Cherry, always up beat
Shake me more and more
Your red and beautiful words
After a moment of darkness, more and more
On your late whispers
I'm getting numb, cherry
The temptation of papaya on a dry morning
Cherry, always up beat
Fifth place goes to...
NMB 48, Yamasaki Amir.
YAMASAKI Amir - "Torimukosaresou na no"
Torimukosaresou na no
Kurami ni hitori de
Kotoba mo kakigesarete
Kokoro made urarete
I won't lose anything
I won't give up
Betrayed
even if it's hard
Now is the time to open the door to freedom
That's right when you flap your wings
Raise your heart's voice
still silent
smart way to go
I've been taught
I knew it was a mistake
raise your voice now
That's right, I won't let anyone get in my way
Ah, I can't stay silent any longer
Raise your heart and voice and shout
No matter how betrayed you are
That's right, raise your voice and shout
Even if you're trapped inside
You'll never give up
Release your broken wings into the sky
Raise your voice and shout
No one can stop you
Raise your heart and voice and shout
Now is the time to open the door of freedom and fly away
Raise your heart and voice and shout
That you're not afraid of anything or anyone
First place and third place goes to STU-48 Mahina Taniguchi.
"Happiness" Mahina Taniguchi
What is happiness?
A starry night and a dazzling morning
It's not like repeating
I fell upon someone important to me
By making the rain hurt
I don't need an answer to live my life
If I could protect the people I want to meet and the things I need a little
Without stretching my back or falling into my hands
If I could lose my loving feelings just the way I am
Happiness is not like starry nights and dazzling mornings repeating.
By making your loved ones feel hurt by the rain that falls on them
And before I knew it, I was the one being protected.
I want you to always be by my side
Whether I open my eyes or close them
First group, fourth place is SKE48 YAMAUCHI SUZURAN.
YAMAUCHI SUZURAN
Times are changing now
We have wishes
These tears and that smile
They all connect us
[music]
Things I can't put into words, things that make me cry
Everything I felt with my trembling heart
Made me who I am now
Our meeting and our farewell
Made me feel stronger
I swore to wave my hand
Because of that day, we are here now
I can hear a gentle song
There are words that push me back
This life, this moment
Become someone's light
Wind, blow away
I want to live with you
Even when the sky clears up and it gets sad
I'm not alone, my voice is right there
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
Fifth place goes to STU-48 Yano Honoka!
I never thought of you as a friend
Ever since the day I met you
There are things that have changed
But there are things that haven't changed
There's a lot of me too
Until I couldn't see the hot way home
Until I was really small
I was watching you and I loved you
Even now, even now
I'm sure I'll remember you again as I grow older
Your shadow, my words, my crying face and your face
Your lips that suddenly touched mine
The proof that you're by my side
Your love, your girl, ah
Your love, your love
My love
The first group of singing competition of AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Finals has ended.
It's hard, isn't it?
It's hard!
We will talk about it with those who have just finished singing.
First of all, Tonega-san of Toppipatta.
Yes.
Did you be able to sing as you wanted?
Well, when I was selected for the first song, I was really nervous.
However, I was told that the song selection was also quite difficult, so I hope the first atmosphere will be completely changed.
You made the stage yours.
Really? Thank you.
Yes, it was a wonderful song. Please give her a big hand.
Next, Yamasaki-san.
Yes.
Didn't you sing with strong feelings for this year?
I think I was able to sing with those feelings in this song.
Did you be able to sing as you wanted?
Yes, I have no regrets.
You have no regrets!
Yes.
It was wonderful. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Next, Taniguchi-san.
Yes.
Taniguchi-san, how was it?
I'm really hungry now.
Are you hungry?
I want to eat now.
You want to eat now?
Yes.
Are you hungry?
Did you use up all of your energy?
Yes.
You sang a lot of songs, so I hope you can reach a lot of people.
I was moved by your songs.
However, there may be second song selections.
Yes.
Please do your best.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Next is Yamauchi-san. Yes.
How did you feel when you sang it?
After it finished, tears came out.
I was always in a tense state of tension.
After it finished, I was relieved and tears came out.
It's not just a lie. It's true.
But I've always decided to say it with a smile.
I will do my best with a smile until the end.
Thank you very much.
It's not just a lie.
Thank you very much.
And Yano-san. Yes.
This is the second time you've cried because of an injury.
And you sang on this stage.
How do you feel about it?
Yes. I was blown away by the comments of Mahina Taniguchi of STU and Suzuran of SKE.
I sang it with the hope of changing the atmosphere of the venue.
But I sang it comfortably.
Thank you very much.
You all showed us a great performance.
Then I will ask the judges as well.
Kurosa-san.
First of all, the first group of five people finished singing.
How was it?
The level is very high.
To be honest, it's very difficult to judge.
It's much more difficult than last year.
Until last year, everyone focused on how much technique you could do.
This year, it's one step further.
Everyone seems to be singing with care about how to deliver the words.
Every song comes to my mind.
It's very difficult.
It's difficult to judge.
It means that you have improved your expressiveness.
I think so.
I think you've improved a level.
Thank you very much.
Takahashi-san.
First of all, the first group of five people finished singing.
How was it?
Yes.
I didn't think I could see you all singing with such straightforward feelings from the beginning.
Actually, I'm very moved now.
I want all of you to stay, but I don't think that's possible.
So we'd like you to judge us thoroughly.
I see. Thank you very much.
I'd like to ask the cheering members for their comments.
Maeda-san, how did you like it?
Everyone's worldview is really amazing.
I was very attracted to it.
Yamasaki Amiru of the same team used her whole body to sing.
It was such a wonderful performance that I couldn't help but tremble.
Thank you very much.
Can I ask you a lot of questions?
Yes.
SK's Yamauchi Suzuran-chan.
When I heard you sing, I was so moved that I almost cried.
When I saw you singing and facing the song with all your might, I thought you were really cool.
Are you okay? Are you crying?
I'm not crying!
It's coming out!
Are you okay?
I thought you were really cool, including the way you looked.
Thank you!
Thank you very much.
That was the first singing assessment.
Everyone, please give them a big hand!
Thank you very much, everyone.
Thank you very much.
I would like to hear more of your singing voices, but only two of you can go to the top.
It's a fierce battle.
That's right.
This is where it's painful, but it's also a point of attention.
Then we will return to the singer review.
Next is the second group of five people.
The first person in the second group is STU48 Mineoshi Arisa.

Second place goes to...
HKT48...
ELENA SAKAMOTO
I'm sure, I'm sure that everyone is expecting too much of something that isn't enough
and hurting people.
Kissing and hugging each other, I'm sure that's enough for me.
I've always forgotten how to love you.
Believing in each other's happiness and hurting each other's sadness,
I want to love you as you are.
The moment your scars disappear, you'll know the meaning of true kindness.
Someday...
Second place and third place goes to...
LGT48...
Hino Mimura!
It's a big party!
It's a big party today!
The windows and doors are already open
Because it's been a long time
There are so many plates too
The room that was closed
Was decorated beautifully for a celebration
In a completely different place
Strange feelings
I was dreaming of this moment
Yes, for the first time in my life
I pray to music
For the first time in my life
I start dancing
I'm so happy that I feel like I can fly
I'm not alone anymore
Like a dream
There are many people here today
Maybe I'll meet my destiny
Tonight I'll wear a beautiful dress and be fashionable
I'll be more attractive than anyone else
Suddenly I realize
I'm embarrassed by wonderful young people
So I'll eat chocolate
We'll talk about a lot of things and get along
For the first time in my life, my heart is dancing with strange feelings
For the first time in my life, I want you to call my name
Let's ride in the romance that's coming
Yes, for the first time in my life, for the first time in my life
I wonder if it's wisdom
Second place and fourth place goes to...
AKB48...
RISSEN...
AIRI.
My breath, let it stay this way
Can't let these moments end
You said of a dream in me
Getting louder now
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand
Will you say this with me?
'Cause darling, without you...
All the shine of thousands of nights
All the sadness deep from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
As I go, I still do little
These hands could hold the world for little
Never be enough
For me
Never, never
Never for me
For me
Never be enough
For me, for me
For me
In second place and fifth place is...
HKT48 Akioshi Yuka.
Thank you for watching.
On top of a scattered floor, I held my cramped knees.
A promise I can't keep is staining my calendar.
I'm glad a day like this came.
I'll show you more of my kisses.
If I could remember every single one of them,
I'd rather be by your side.
Without you, but you are mine.
Through the nights and days, through my bitter pain,
Please, somebody say hello.
Oh, now my heart is almost blind.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In your eyes, in your sight,
What is that only my brain knows?
Tell me, please, the reason of your love for me.
Can I cry now?
Let's look for it
Even though we were born so close
Would it be better if we didn't meet?
Shine days when you were mine
And with that, the second group's singing assessment is over.
We will now hear from everyone who has finished singing.
First of all, I would like to commend this group's top batter, Mineuchi-san.
I'm sure you were nervous, but were you able to sing as you wished?
Yes, I was very nervous about being the second group's top batter,
but after listening to Mahi-chan and Hono-tan's song,
and Michin-san who came to cheer for me,
I was able to enjoy singing. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Next, Sakamoto-san.
Yes.
I'm sure you've practiced hard for this finalist live.
Yes, that's right. This is my third final tournament,
and when I come here, I get really nervous,
but I get more nervous during rehearsals,
and when I see the faces of the audience and the judges,
I think I was able to calm down in a good way.
This has been the most fun I've had so far. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Also, Mimura-san, who had great expressiveness,
Yes.
How was it?
Yes, I was really nervous.
Yes, but I think I was able to convey my nervousness to you, too.
I was really nervous, but I hope I was able to tell you
the first story of the queen of Anna and Yuki.
It's like... the more I think about it, the more I feel like that,
but it was a lot of fun, so... yes, it was fun!
It was wonderful. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Next, Rissen-san!
Yes!
Rissen-san, you sang barefooted, didn't you?
Did you find out? I'm wearing it now.
Yes, we know.
Yes.
But you had a wonderful expression. How was it?
Thank you very much.
Yes, the song I sang is the movie "Greatest Showman" in Chinese.
The scene and the feeling of light in this venue are a little similar.
I think I was able to sing "enough" even though I have a lot of things.
It was fun. Thank you very much.
And finally, Akiyoshi-san!
Yes!
How was this stage again?
It was more fun to sing with the band than being nervous.
I sang "Fallen out of love" just now, so I feel like I've fallen out of love.
But it was that much fun!
Are you confident of staying in the finals?
I want to stay!
Thank you very much.
You all were wonderful singers.
Please give them a big hand one more time.
Now I'd like to ask the judges as well.
Inoue-san, I think each of you had great expressions and personalities. How was it?
Well, this is my third time being a judge this year,
but I feel like the songs you chose have certain points in them.
The songs we heard last year and "Let's Count Your Knees" were quite challenging.
And the musical songs you all know as well.
In that sense, Mineyoshi-san, you took a lot of risks.
I think you're twice as popular as the band as you are now.
You're a musician after all, so I'd like to ask you about that as well.
It was great.
You had a great voice that didn't get buried by the band's large volume.
And Mimura-san, you were a champion of feelings.
I could feel it even before you sang.
Thank you.
It was great.
Thank you.
Akiho-san, you have a low voice.
Thank you.
You're like a woman of Kyushu who shakes the earth.
Thank you.
I'm enjoying it.
Thank you.
Inoue-san is enjoying it as well.
Next up is Isogai-san.
Could you tell us about your performance?
I've been watching you in the video during the preliminaries.
First of all, I'm so moved to hear you sing live.
I'm simply enjoying it.
You all have distinct personalities.
I'm enjoying your individuality.
Akiho-san, who finished first in the preliminaries.
It feels like you're finally singing live.
I was overwhelmed with your power.
Mimura-san, your musical world spread out at once.
Of course, Rissen-san's musical world was amazing as well.
Mineoshi-san's voice surprised me at first.
Thank you.
Sakamoto-san's singing voice enveloped the audience.
It's hard to describe.
As a judge, I don't know what to say.
You were all amazing.
Thank you.
As a judge, it's hard to choose.
Yamada-san, what did you think?
As our judge said, I was drawn in.
I'm enjoying your music so much that I'm checking my clothes.
I think that's what you did best.
I know your future.
Thank you.
And one more person.
Sakaguchi-san.
From the first block, you've been drawn into your own songs, and here we have two H.K.T. members as well.
Even when you're choosing songs, you're thinking about how you can make your own song shine.
I'm not lying!
I was looking at how you were going to make the most of your personality, and I was worried about it.
But you all accepted my feelings for today.
The atmosphere is great, and I want to drink a cocktail.
The atmosphere is great.
Thank you very much!
She was moved.
That was the second group of singing judges.
Everyone, please give them a big round of applause!
Thank you very much!
I think it's different for each group how many times you sing.
That was a great singing.
Let's go back to the singing judges.
Next up is the third group of five people.
The first person in the third group is akb48 Asahi Nanami.
Thank you for watching.
I'm sorry for not being honest with you.
"I love you" is all I can say.
But still, thank you for giving birth to me.
I'm happy to be born as your child.
You worked until late every day
and raised me all by myself.
No matter how tired you were, you never complained
and always kept smiling for me.
We quarreled over little things and immediately jumped out of the house.
I couldn't forget your sad face.
When I opened the door of the front door, the smell of usual dinner
gently embraced me.
I'm sorry, I couldn't be honest with you.
How much did you help me with your welcome home voice?
Thank you for giving birth to me.
I'm happy to be born as your child.
I'm happy to be your daughter.
Thank you.
Thank you for watching.
The third and second teams are...
AKB48, STU48, Okada 7...
"Goodbye", "thank you" is all I can say
But there's something more important than sadness
I want to tell you on your leaving back
So that I can make it in time for your warmth and pain
I thought it would go on like this
So I drew our tomorrow
Even though the light we called out to each other
Is still hot in our hearts
We met in the middle of a burning journey
We held hands and talked about the future
Whenever one of my dreams comes true, I think of you
I wished and cried that I wanted to become stronger
With determination in my eyes
I reached out and held onto a bundle of intense light
It shone and disappeared for the sake of the future
I'll go beyond the promises and happiness entrusted to me
Because I won't look back and move forward
I'll only look forward and shout
I'll light a fire in my heart
Until I reach the distant future
Third place goes to...
AKB48 Oda Erina!
I love you
Just for now, I don't want to hear a sad song
I love you
I ran away and ran away and came to this room
Because it's not a love where anything is allowed
You two are like abandoned cats
This room is like an empty box buried in ruins
That's why you're crying like a kitten
On top of a cramped bed, rather than kindness
If you hug each other's tight bodies
Then you two will close your eyes again
So that love doesn't open up in a sad song
Then you two will close your eyes again
So that love doesn't open up in a sad song
Third place and fourth place goes to...
SKE48 Takayanagi Akane.
You weren't smiling because you were strong
You don't even want to see me cry, do you?
It's like stardust, this one encounter
Goodbye, I can't find the last words
That's right, I'm fine because I'm strong
Look me in the eye and say you're sorry
But don't say it, it hurts
It's so precious
It wasn't supposed to be like this
May I miss it?
Even if I'm alone, I'll keep walking
You weren't smiling because you were strong
You don't even want to see me cry, do you?
Remember me, the most beautiful one
Goodbye, I can't find the last words
Even now, my tears won't stop
What I wanted wasn't an exaggerated thing
"It's okay for me to be here," those were the only words
You remembered me like a stardust
"It's okay," I'll ring the bell of our next encounter there
Third group, fifth member, STU-48 Ikeda Yura.
That was a tiny hide and seek after 14 years old.
We didn't decide to walk together,
but before we knew it, we're here.
Before we knew it, we're somewhere else.
I'm like a puddle of water,
and I look back with both my hands.
I just passed by in order for you to turn.
Where did the wind blow?
A crazy windmill.
I just passed by in order for you to turn.
Thank you for watching.
But in order for you to smile...
Why did you do it, windmill?
Was it love that you waited for, windmill?
Until you sank...
Until you sank with me...
In a happy dream...
You swam beautifully...
Now, the third team's singing evaluation is over.
I'd like to ask everyone who finished singing.
First of all, top pattern Asahi-san.
Yes!
Asahi-san, you chose the song "Mother".
Yes.
What made you choose this song?
Yes, well, I'm turning 20 this year,
and this song was originally sung for my mother by my adult daughter,
so I chose it because I thought it would be perfect for my 20th birthday.
Would you like to sing it?
Yes, no, it's really like the lyrics say,
it's almost like a real experience,
so I thought it would be nice if I could deliver it to someone with those thoughts.
I think it's delivered.
It was wonderful. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Next, Okada-san.
Yes!
The first, second, and third times, you've shown an overwhelming presence.
Thank you very much.
How was it?
No, I'm nervous even after three times.
My hands are shaking all the time, and I'm nervous and my head is blank,
but I was able to sing my favorite song, "Home Run", so I'm satisfied.
Thank you very much!
Next, Oda-san.
Yes!
Oda-san, you chose the song "I Love You", didn't you?
Yes!
Yes.
What made you sing it?
Even in the qualifying round, I sang Ozaki Utaka- san's song,
and even in the actual show, I participated last year,
but last year I didn't sing it because I wasn't sure if I should sing "I Love You",
so this year I decided to sing "I Love You" and came here, so I'm glad I was able to sing it.
Thank you very much!
And Takaya Nagi-san, what do you feel now after singing on this stage again?
Well, I wasn't supposed to be here, but I was graduating, so I chose this song with the feeling of "I'm here now because of this situation", so I'm glad I was able to sing it. It was fun.
It was wonderful. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
And last but not least, Ikeda-san.
Ikeda-san, you've always dreamed of singing on this stage, but what do you feel now after actually singing it?
Well, I was really nervous. I was nervous on and off the stage, but I'm glad I was able to have fun on stage.
It was wonderful. You're still 16 years old, right?
Yes, I'm 16 years old.
16 years old!
Yes, I'm 16 years old.
It was a proud and wonderful singing voice. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Then I would like to talk to the judges as well.
Kurosa-san, each of you has your own choice of song, but...
Yes, I think I said during the draw that the team that sang the most delicately would win,
but you all sang very delicately and very carefully, and I was a little moved.
Among them, Okada-san was perfect today.
Thank you very much!
No, I really liked it and sang it myself, but all the points that I had to pay attention to were perfect.
Thank you very much! I'm happy.
And Ikeda-san, you're 16 years old, but you really have perfect breath control and pitch control,
and I wish I could sing like you when I was 16 years old. It was wonderful.
Thank you very much!
Takahashi-san, Takahashi-san, how was it to hear your singing voice?
Yes, each of you has your own personality, and choosing one song is very difficult for me.
I feel like I want to hear one more song, and now I'm full of it.
I have the impression that you have chosen each song with great thought.
I think you all did a great job. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Let's talk about the cheering members as well. Murayama-san, how was it?
In this block, there were 1st, 2nd, 3rd and many AKB members.
Since I was 1st, I couldn't stop crying. I was crying all the time.
I thought about moving on to the finals and moving forward with all 3 of us.
It was painful, but even though my ears were full of food, thank you very much!
Your ears are full of food. Thank you very much!
Next up is Umamura-san!
Yes! You all were wonderful!
I was surprised by how energetic Okada-nana-san was.
Ikeda Yura-chan is a 2nd year research student and it's only been a year since she joined us.
She's 16 years old and she's wonderful. I want to call her "senior" now.
Thank you very much!
That was the 3rd group of singer-songwriters. Let's give them a big round of applause!
Thank you very much, 3rd group!
They all have unique personalities.
We're already at the last group of singer- songwriters.
The last group is the 4th group of singers.
The first singer of the 4th group is SKE48, Furuhata Nao.
Incompetent, heartless, yet...
...beautifully broken.
No destiny if it's a passive mind.
I'm sorry, I'm sure it's not enough.
If you talk about it, it will work out.
I have no other choice but to self-destruct.
Let's jump in.
What makes you so dissatisfied?
Don't be so selfish.
What else do you want?
Even at that age, I don't hate you.
I'm tired of hearing that line.
I don't like it when you're half-hearted.
"That's enough," you say.
"I love you," you say.
"If it's just for fun, it's easy," you say.
"Serious negotiation," you say.
"I don't even think about it," you say.
How many times do you use heavy words?
I was hoping for it anyway.
"I can't do it," you say.
"But it's okay," you say.
I'm tired of hearing that line.
I'm tired of using heavy words.
"Don't rain now," you say.
"Lost," "delete," and that repetition.
"Know," "hate," and that repetition.
But even so, I want to say it here.
"That's enough," I say like this.
"I love you," I say like that.
"If it's just me," it's easy.
"Serious," it's a negotiation.
"Know," "hate," and that repetition.
I don't even think about it.
I have to turn my feelings and lies into bubbles.
I'm sure I was hoping for it.
But as usual, my Facebook and Twitter
is also ending.
The sky that called out to the air
I hope it won't become sunny.
I'm sure it's not sunny.
I hope it won't become sunny.
It's raining again today.
Let's close the grass and get wet and go home.
Fourth place and second place goes to...
AKB48...
Takahashi Sayaka.

STU-48, Kojima Aiko.
Every time I wake up in the morning, I feel you lying next to me.
I felt your warmth. Your usual back is cold.
Let's stop looking at each other and open up our minds.
It's too bright in the morning. You and I are chasing each other every day.
The face you showed me that day when you cried.
The sunset illuminates my tears. Your shoulder is warm.
Every time I wish to erase you, my heart and my body remember you.
Your love forever. I close my eyes and picture you. That's all I need.
Even if seasons change my heart.
Even if I have to leave you behind.
I will look for you in my memories.
That's all I need.
The strength to overcome what you've lost.
Because you gave me.

THE END
I'm telling you, eyes softly whisper
Tonight, tonight, you are my engine
I love you, the two of us together
Tonight, tonight, we carry on
Wherever you are, I always make you smile
Wherever you are, I'm always by your side
Whatever you say, the feelings I have for you
I promise you forever, I know
Wherever you are, I never make you cry
Wherever you are, I never say goodbye
I promise you forever, right now
The day we met was
The first memory for us
We should remember it
And today is
The second memory for us
We should remember it
[Music]
From my heart, I love you. From my heart, I love you.
In the middle of my love, you are always there.
Wherever you are... Wherever you are...
The 3rd AKB48 Group Vocal Power No. 1 Deciding Round,
the 4th group of singer-songwriters has come to an end.
I'd like to ask you all about it.
First of all, this group, the top butter, Flat- san.
Yes.
You looked so cool. I'm sure the fans felt the same way.
Yes, but there's not much you can do in a live band,
so I wanted to take this opportunity and have fun with the band.
It was fun. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Next, Takahashi-san.
Yes.
I'm sure your goal was to sing in this final stage.
Yes.
How was it?
It was my first time on this stage,
and I don't know if I was able to sing well or not,
but I think I was able to sing with more fun than anyone else,
so it was really fun. Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
We've heard that.
Next, Kojima-san.
Yes.
It's your first time on this stage, right?
Yes.
Yes. How was it?
I was nervous and it was only for a moment,
but like the title says, I closed my eyes and sang with all my emotions.
Thank you very much.
Yes, I'm sure you felt it. Thank you very much.
Lastly, Nojima-san.
Yes.
Nojima-san.
Thank you very much.
Even though you're a first-generation singer- songwriter...
Yes.
How was it, being on this stage?
It's been a really long time since I've been on this stage,
and I'm really excited right now.
It was really fun!
You looked like you were having a lot of fun!
Thank you very much!
Yes, you sounded like you were singing. Thank you very much!
Now I'd like to give the judges a chance to speak. Inoue-san!
Yes, yes, yes.
You were a defending champion, weren't you?
Yes.
You were very powerful.
Especially your face when you said "tonight" was good.
Thank you.
Also, in the first round, when you were in the preliminaries, you didn't really speak out loud.
I wanted you to speak out louder for the finals.
Even if you speak out loud, you don't sound fat.
I'm very jealous of your voice.
Normally, you'd put more effort into a voice that's hard to hear,
but the higher your voice gets, the better it sounds.
I was very happy to hear that again today.
Thank you very much.
Also, Kojima-san.
Yes.
This is Hirai Ken-kun's song, right?
Yes.
He has a great falsetto in the chorus,
and if you set it to that key, it becomes a very loud song.
Yes.
Right?
Yes.
I thought you sang it very well.
Thank you very much.
I'm happy.
You've been together for many years.
When you're angry, I want you to sing for me.
Great.
I'll speak out loud as I like.
That's great.
Thank you.
Inoue-san is also very excited.
Thank you.
How do you like it?
Yes.
I'm also full of ears, so I don't know what to do.
I think you've been working on this for a year,
and you have those feelings on your back.
I can see it.
Everyone has their own colors.
Especially you, Furuhata-san.
Yes.
From the first time you came in, you've been making up roles all over the world.
Really? I'm happy.
I thought you'd do something.
But you did it.
I did it.
You blew up.
Thank you.
You blew up our feelings.
I feel like I have to choose now.
Which one did you choose?
I feel like it wasn't a normal concert.
I'm excited.
On the contrary, I'm nervous.
Thank you.
Everyone's wonderful singing and performance.
I'd like to talk to the supporting members as well. Ms. Oba, how was it?
I was so busy with emotions and I was so moved and excited.
Above all, I'm sorry I don't have the vocabulary, but I want to say that our members are amazing.
That's how amazing you two are.
It was cool!
Great!
Thank you very much.
So, that was the fourth group of singer judges.
Everyone, please give them a big hand one more time!
Thank you to all of you in the fourth group!
Thank you!
There was also an overwhelming performance.
Thank you very much!
Now all the singing tests are over.
Once again, I would like to ask Kurosawa-san.
The singing tests have ended in no time, but how do you feel about it so far?
No, I'm having a lot of fun.
But when I was writing this when I was judging,
I thought, "This is a judging."
The level of singing is really high this year.
The level of singing has risen significantly compared to before.
So it was really in no time.
Among them, there are many people who are already good at singing as singers.
It was better than I imagined, so I'm really happy now.
Is that so?
You can't say that specifically yet, can you?
I can't say that yet.
Everyone, it was a great performance. Thank you very much!
Now, from each of the four groups,
two people in the top two places and eight people in total will advance to the finals.
We will now conclude the singing tests.
In the meantime, please take a look at the singing scenes of the 19 members who will appear today in the qualifying round.
If you call me, I'll run to you.
I'll go to you right away.
I'll throw everything away.
I'll catch my breath, cool my fingers, and go see you right away.
When you left, I stood on the platform and watched the snow melt as it fell.
Now, spring has come and you've become more beautiful than you were last year.
On nights when I want to see you, want to see you and can't sleep,
I remember your warmth, that warmth,
and I gently close my eyes.
If only I could say "Hello, my friend" to you with a smile back then.
When you kiss me and say the same thing, stay by my side, I wish.
I'm glad I was able to meet your kindness that's not cool.
La la la la goodbye days.
Overcoming the days that come our way, we walk towards our lonely dreams.
"Goodbye" is not a sad word.
Each of our dreams and us are connected.
Embracing the days we spent together in our hearts, we take off on our own to the next sky.
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 do you keep taking away only my heart?
If it's a wish that won't come true, please tell me goodbye.
Since then, half a year has passed and I can finally smile.
I'm busy every day.
I'm walking my own new life.
I want to see you, I want to see you.
On sleepless nights, I fill my heart with only 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 love you forever, like I did back then.
I want to see you now.
There are so many things I want to tell you.
Hey, I want to see you, I want to see you.
When I realize it, I'm looking for your face, and I'm sad.
You're my phone call at night, aren't you?
There's nothing for me to talk about.
Making things better, love has disappeared.
Don't come to me again.
I love you, I love you, I need you.
I want to love you forever, like I did back then.
It won't come true.
Do you always feel that way in your heart?
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 treasure what we have in common.
To you, who I love so much, my love forever.
As I gently rub your frozen body against mine, you kiss me and groan.
Oh my little girl, let me warm you up.
Oh my little girl, I love you so much.
Brake light, five-speed ignition, I love you.
No matter how many years pass, I'm sure we can spend the rest of our lives like this.
Because I'm with you.
I remember you so well, it's scary.
Your scent, your gestures, everything.
It's funny, isn't it? Say that and smile for me.
Even though we're separated, I only think about you.
Without noticing my aching heart,
I became alone.
In my memories, we can live forever.
Even now, your voice resonates in my heart.
It's the shadow of love wandering about.
I don't know what love is,
so I fill my bouquet with love.
It's an exaggeration, but please accept it.
Don't ask me why, okay?
Just for now, forget everything.
Don't laugh and accept it.
Don't be shy.
Oh my little girl, I love you so much.
Oh my little girl, as we walk side by side in the starry twilight,
we can never, never be apart.
I was the one who cried.
That I couldn't show my weakness
wasn't a strong excuse,
that's why I said it.
I believe.
It is broadcast live from tbs akasaka act theater.
The third time, akb48 group singing power No. 1 final tournament.
Here is the announcement of the eight who advance to the final.
Now, the top two of each group and the eight who advance to the final, who are they?
These eight will sing the second song in the final battle after this.
In addition, you can also obtain the right to appear in the finalist live.
I'm getting nervous.
Now, Mr. Ichikawa, first of all, please announce the two who advance to the final from the first group.
Then I will announce it.
The first class winner is...
SKA48 YAMAUCHI SUZURAN!
And 1st place goes to...
STU48 YANO HONO CUP!
Yamauchi-san and Yano-san, congratulations!
Congratulations!
This 1st place goes to Yamauchi-san!
Yes!
1st place goes to you!
I'm so happy!
Well...
This is how it is when you can't say anything.
But even behind the scenes,
when I looked for it on social media,
it said "SUZURAN, you're lying!"
But for the next song I'll sing,
I'll sing with so much emotion that I'll cry!
We're looking forward to it!
Yes, thank you!
Will you cry?
And 1st place goes to...
And 1st place goes to Yano-san!
Yes, I didn't have time to look it up on social media like this...
I was so nervous I couldn't do it...
But I was able to pass with 2nd place,
and with STU48's many thoughts in mind,
I'll sing the 2nd song!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Judges, Kurosawa-san, I think it was a very difficult choice for you to choose these 2 from the 1st group.
Yes, for the 1st group, all of them were very good at singing, so it was difficult for me.
But I think these 2 were very stable in the middle range.
They can sing the chorus very well.
However, whether it's A melody or B melody, I think these 2 were especially good at connecting it to the chorus.
It was wonderful.
Congratulations for being able to tell the difference.
And the cheering member, SKE48's Oba-san.
I'm very happy! Me too!
Yes! So from now on, please make your own fun stages!
Thank you!
Once again, from the 1st group, Yamauchi-san and Yano- san will advance to the finals! Please give them a big hand!
Thank you!
And now, from the 2nd group, Ichika-san, please announce the 2 finalists.
I will now announce them.
2nd place and 1st place goes to...
NTT48 Vibra Hero!
And the second group, B2 class is...
HKT48, Yuka Akiyoshi!
Congratulations, Yuka Akiyoshi!
Congratulations!
From the second group, Yuka Akiyoshi has been chosen!
First of all, Yuka Akiyoshi...
Yes!
You're in first place!
I'm surprised!
I'm so happy!
You're happy?
I'm so happy!
I'm so surprised that I can't even cry!
I was like, "What?!"
I'm so happy! Thank you!
Congratulations!
Your ability to express yourself has been evaluated!
That's right!
I'm so happy! Really!
Musicals are difficult songs!
The rhythm, long tones, expressions...
It was really difficult!
But I've always loved it!
I'd listen to it in the car while practicing!
I'm so happy!
I'll do my best to deliver the next song to you as well!
I'm looking forward to it! Thank you!
Thank you!
And the second group, B2 class is... Akiyoshi!
Yes!
B2 class, but you've advanced to the finals!
I'm relieved!
I really enjoyed singing the first song!
The second song was a song I really wanted to sing!
It was a song I wanted to convey!
The genre is completely different!
I hope I can convey my feelings through this song!
Thank you!
I'm looking forward to the next song!
Now, Ms. Takahashi, you're in second place!
How did you differ?
I've been practicing a lot!
First of all, I learned how to sing by hand!
And then, the long tones and sound processing...
When I'm singing...
When I'm not singing...
I think it's great that both of you were singing with all your heart!
Even if you weren't chosen...
There were many parts that I really liked and wanted to hear more of!
I hope you practice more and more!
I'd like you to let me hear it again!
Thank you!
Now, Ms. Yamada, you're in second place!
Yes!
I'm so happy!
I really love Hino-chan's singing face!
I'm so happy that I can see it again!
Thank you!
I love you, judges!
Thank you!
As a member of the cheering team, I'm very happy!
Now, Ms. Akiyoshi, you're in second place!
Everyone, please give her a big hand!
Congratulations!
Next, we will announce the two who will advance to the finals from the third group.
Ms. Ichikawa, please.
Well then, I will announce.
1st place goes to...

Ikeda-san, Okada-san, congratulations!
Congratulations!
You're in 1st place and 2nd place, Ikeda-san!
You're shedding tears. How do you feel right now?
Thank you!
I'm really happy. I'll do my best for the next song as well. Thank you!
I'm looking forward to it!
I'm shedding tears!
And in 2nd place is Okada Nana-san!
I'm really happy as well, but I'm really happy that Ikeda Yura-chan was found and was able to sing one more song in the final.
As a senior of S.T.U., I'm really happy that my parents' hearts are growing now.
It was really wonderful!
Thank you!
Of course, I'll be honest for the 3rd time and do my best to win! Thank you!
We're looking forward to your singing! Thank you!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Judges, Inoue-san, these two are in 3rd place.
No, no, I didn't want you to ask me when I was in this group.
No, we'll ask you, Inoue-san.
Asahi-chan and Odairi-chan are my friends, so I wanted you all to pass.
But as usual, Okada-san kept talking about other people.
It was really good, this song.
Thank you!
I don't know where Ikeda-san has been hiding up until now.
From now on... Are you really researchers?
Yes, we are.
I can't believe it.
I hope you'll become regulars from tomorrow.
Well, it can't be helped with my ability, but I'm really glad you're all in this group.
I'm glad my feelings were conveyed to you.
Thank you!
That was a wonderful performance!
With that said, Ikeda-san and Okada-san will advance to the finals.
Once again, please give them a round of applause!
Finally, we will announce the finalists who will advance to the finals from Group 4.
Ichikawa-san, please.
Well then, I will announce them.

- The 2nd place winner is... - Yes?
Yes?
I'm sorry.
How can I say it?
It's amazing that I can sing both songs and go to the finalist live.
I'm really happy that I'm standing on this stage now. Thank you!
Congratulations! You've made it to the final once again!
And the 2nd place winner is Furuhata!
It's...
It's too unique.
I thought it was crazy.
But I'm relieved that my feelings reached you.
How about your enthusiasm for the final?
In the final, I'll sing a song I really want to convey.
I hope it reaches you beautifully.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Let's hear from the judges.
Hurry up!
The 4th place winner is...
Well, I don't know why I'm the last one among all of you.
I've been watching you for a long time, so I'm about to cry.
I think you've been fighting for this day with strong feelings for each of your great songs.
Eight people have been chosen, but I don't think it has anything to do with ranking or anything like that.
Well, I'm a judge, so I chose you.
However, I think you all love singing, so I hope you'll keep singing until you die.
You can keep singing until you die, so please take care of your throat and do your best.
And there's another song for the 8th place.
I'm sure you'll change your worldview and sing it again, and I'm looking forward to it, so please do your best.
Thank you very much.
So, from the 4th group, Nojima and Furada will advance to the finals.
Please give them a big hand.
Once again, eight of the above will advance to the finals of the final round of the A.K.B.48 Group Singing Power No. 1 final tournament!

The order in which you are drawn will be decided by Yamauchi-san, who is in first place in the first group.

Is that okay?
Yes!
I understand.
Then, please!
The number of singers is...
Number three!
Yamauchi-san will be the third singer to be judged.
The third one.
Next up is Yano-san, who is in second place in the first group.

Then...
I'll stand at the back of my right hand!
Yes!
Understood!
Yes!
Number two!
Mimura-san drew number two!
Her understandable order is number two!
And also, the second group's second place winner, Akiyo-san!
Please stand in front of the card!
I hope it's not number one...
Not number one...
Ta-dah!
It's number one! It's number five!
It's number five!
Akiyo-san, it's number five!
Thank you!
Her understandable order is number five!
Now, let's move on to the third group's first place winner, Ikeda-san!

I'm looking forward to it!
Ikeda-san, you drew number eight!
Now, let's move on to the third group's second place winner, Okada-san!
Yes!
She has three cards left!
Okada-san, you drew...
Ah!
Yes!
What a frustrated expression!
It's number one!
She was number one!
I don't like it!
She was number one!
How do you feel, Okada-san?
She was number one last time, too.
So I'm really nervous, but I'll do my best because I think I'm number one!
I'm looking forward to it!
Okada-san is number one in singing and dancing.
Next, Nojima-san, who passed first in the fourth group.
You have two cards left.
Please put it in front of the card.
Will you put it in front of the card?
What should I do?
It's number six!
Nojima-san is number six in singing and dancing.
And lastly, Furuhato-san, who passed in the fourth group.

Now, I'd like to ask all of you to return to your seats.
Once again, we have eight people who have advanced to the finals.
And, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye now.
Please give a big round of applause to the 11 people who showed us their wonderful singing voices!
You all were wonderful. Thank you very much.
Please return to your seats.
It was also difficult for the judges to judge, but I'm looking forward to seeing who will win the crown.
Now, it's finally the final!
Who will win the third place in the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Final?
The final of the third AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Final is finally here!
The members with the highest score among the eight finalists will shine as the crown princesses of the third generation!
Who will it be?
Let's go!
The final of the third AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Final is here!
Who will it be?
The final singer of the third AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 is...
The third group, AKB48, STU48, OKADA 7!
OKADA-san, you are a top batter once again. How do you feel when you sing this song?
Yes, I decided this song by myself.
It's a song that I've been thinking about for a long time and finally came up with it.
I want to sing it thinking of that one person.
I hope you will think of each important person when you listen to the song you think of.
I see. I'm looking forward to it.
OKADA-san, please sing for us.
The song is "Eine Kleine"
Eine Kleine
If I'm with you, my sadness and pride won't go away
I'd be so happy if you'd say "I'm glad" and smile
Everything in front of me fades and melts away
Miracles overflow and it's not enough
You called out my name
The moment I was born
I cried out "I want to disappear"
Since then, I've been searching
For you, who I'll meet someday
I'm glad I'm with you
The sadness that won't go away
And my pride too, if I'm with you
I'm glad I'm with you
How happy it makes me to laugh like that
Everything in front of me
Blurs and melts away
It's a miracle, it's overflowing and it's not enough
You called out my name
Can I call out yours?
Thank you very much!
That was wonderful!
How did you feel when you heard Okada's singing voice?
This song has a wide range and the pitch goes up and down all of a sudden. It's a very difficult song, but I was impressed that you expressed it very well.
I think the bass is a little tough for a woman to play, but I think you handled it well and delivered it properly.
Thank you very much.
Last year, I wanted to sing a little more uplifting, but I was impressed that you sang it well and balanced it out this year.
Thank you very much.
What do you think now that you've heard Murayama's singing voice?
I'm so impressed that I can't speak well and I want to tell you that you're the winner. Thank you for working hard as a representative of AKB.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
That's how much of a performance it was.
So that's it for Okada's singing evaluation.
Thank you very much.
Please give her a big hand.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
Let's move on to the second singer evaluation.
The second final singer evaluation is...
Second group, first place passers-by...
LGT48...
Hiro Mimura!
Mimura-san, before you sing, please tell us how you feel about the song you're going to sing next.
Yes! The song I'm going to sing next is...
Actually, since last year, I've been thinking about singing this song the next time we meet.
It's a song that made me feel like that.
Yes.
Well, I thought fate was amazing.
That's right!
Yes!
You feel fate, don't you?
I feel fate, don't I?
Um... really... um...
I thought it was amazing.
Yes.
I'm looking forward to your singing voice.
Yes! I'll do my best! I'll do my best!
Well then, Mimura-san, please sing for us!
The song is "Cruel Angel's Thesis."
Like a cruel angel, young boy, become a myth.
But you're just staring at me and smiling.
You're so focused on touching me and asking for me,
that you don't even know what fate is yet.
But one day you'll realize that you have wings to aim for the distant future behind you.
A cruel angel's theory will eventually fly out of the window.
If you betray your memories with a hot pathos running around,
hold up this sky and shine, young boy, become a myth.
While weaving love, people make history.
I won't become a goddess, I will live.
A cruel angel's theory will eventually fly out of the window.
If you betray your memories with a hot pathos running around,
hold up this sky and shine, young boy, become a myth.
Kimura-san, thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Yumura-san, I didn't expect you to sing this song in front of Takahashi-san on this stage!
Yes!
I thought it was rude of me!
I wrote a candidate song and gave it to Yumura- san.
Then, Takahashi-san said "I'm a judge this time."
Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh?
So I talked with the manager and said "Since you're here, why don't you sing for us?"
And I sang in front of him. Thank you very much!
That was wonderful!
Yes.
We have to ask Takahashi-san about this. Takahashi-san, how was it?
Yes, it was wonderful.
Thank you very much!
And I sang in front of him. He must have been very nervous!
I've been singing this song for 25 years, but I've never thought it was perfect because it was so difficult.
I'm sure you can tell by singing it, but there was no breath position, the sound was very loud, the tension at the beginning, and the way it ended at the end.
Yes.
It was very courageous of me to choose this very difficult song that only those who have sung it know.
I'm sure you all thought it was amazing when you heard it.
But I'm sure you can tell by singing it, but I'm sure you can tell by singing it, so I was happy and I think you were able to sing it.
Thank you very much!
I'm happy! I'm happy!
Thank you very much!
That's all for Ms. Fumura's singing assessment. Please give her another round of applause!
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much, Ms. Fumura!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for your hard work!
I could hear the singing voices of the audience.
Now, let's move on to the third singer's assessment.
The third final singer's assessment is...
1st group, 1st place...
SKE48 YABAUCHI SUZURAN!
Thank you for having me!
Yabauchi-san...
How do you feel right now?
I really want to go to the bathroom!
Um...
When people get nervous...
Um, this was a live broadcast, wasn't it?!
- That's right. - I'm sorry!
Also, I haven't worn heels for this long, so they're on my knees!
- They're on your knees? - Yes.
- Are you nervous? - Anyway, I'm nervous!
- But what are you thinking about when you sing the next song? - Yes.
Let's see... 2020...
There were so many things...
I had a lot of trouble and I was really discouraged...
But at that time, there were people who pushed me on social media and behind me...
I thought, "The wind is blowing," and that's why I chose this song...
Ah! Isn't that the song we just heard?!
Ah! We're too excited! Let's go!
Understood!
Yabauchi-san, please sing for us!
The song is "Sansara"!
I'm alive, I'm alive
Only that reality exists here
Even if you give me words...
Time flows by and surpasses people.
A dream someone had long ago.
It dwells in us and heads for tomorrow.
A wandering day and night story.
Connecting lives.
Standing by the fire burning in the morning light,
Listening carefully,
I'm alive, I'm alive.
Only that reality is here.
Living is torture.
Thank you for watching.
I'm alive, I'm alive
Only that reality is here
It's not easy to live
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much, Yamauchi-san!
Yamauchi-san, you didn't look like you were nervous at all.
My legs are shaking.
I think you conveyed your feelings.
When I thought about it a lot this year and realized how difficult it is to live,
I listened to this song and decided to live my life to the fullest, so I chose this song.
This is what I wanted to say earlier!
Thank you very much!
Your feelings were conveyed.
The judge, Inoue-san, you had a powerful singing voice.
I really wanted to live my life to the fullest.
Maybe at night, when I was thinking about what to do, I thought of singing this song.
I was able to convey it a lot.
I hope next year will be a good year.
Let's hope so!
Thank you very much!
That's all for Yamauchi-san's singing evaluation.
Everyone, please give him a big hand!
Thank you very much!
What a wonderful singing voice!
Thank you very much!
You were powerful!
Now, we will move on to the fourth singer evaluation.
The final singer evaluation, fourth place goes to...
First group, P2K, STU48, Yano Honoka!
Yano-san, for the next song, what kind of feelings do you have when you sing it?
What kind of feelings...
The song I'm going to sing next is...
I chose it because I thought the lyrics and the title were songs that were made for me.
All of my feelings for life and singing are in this song.
So I'm going to put my own feelings into the song and sing it with pleasure and joy.
I'm looking forward to it.
Well then, let's have Yano-san sing it.
The song is "My Revolution".
Good-bye, sweet pen
The night I was rubbing against you will end with yesterday
I want to make sure of the reason I met you
I open my eyes in the darkness
I want to make the sound of shoes and lies resonate with the world I sleep in
I'm looking up at the fallen bike and the frame of the wall
I'm sure I can heal my own sadness on my own
I'm starting to understand my revolution and how to see tomorrow
I want to tell someone about my dance, my dance, right now
If you want to chase your dream, you shouldn't cry so easily
My first, my dance you taught me, I can start running
I want to tell someone about my dream, my dream, right now
I want my revolution to change tomorrow
I want to tell someone my just, my dance
If you want to chase your dreams now
It has to be easy
You taught me my first, my dance
I can run
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Let's move on to the fifth singer reviewer.
The fifth singer reviewer is...
Thank you for having me.
This is the second half of the final singer reviewer.
Of course, I'm looking forward to singing on this stage.
How do you feel when you sing?
I always get a lot of power from the people who support me.
Today, I'd like to repay you for the love and power you've given me so far with my song.
I see. I'm looking forward to it.
Now, Ms. Akiyoshi will sing for us.
The song is "Shape of Love".
You know, before I knew it, I realized
If love had a shape
And it had already settled in my heart
Then surely, for a long time, more than today
Every time I know about you
If that shape is no longer you
Then surely, I'll create a gap
You know, I love you
I'll tell you tens of thousands of times
My warm and increased feelings
Are all in the form of love
I've always, always loved you
Whenever you spread out in my heart
Love overflows and tears fall
Among all the stars in the sky
You're the only one in my heart
You know, you know, I've always loved you
I've always loved you
Ah, thank you
Ms. Akioshi, thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
You put your feelings into it.
Yes, I hope my own form of love can be conveyed.
I would like to ask the judges for their comments.
Mr. Kurosawa, there was also a correction. How was it?
Yes, last year in the finals, I told you, "Please sing the A melody a little more carefully."
"I already know that your voice is very good in the chorus," I said.
But this year, you really connected the story beautifully from the beginning of the A melody to the chorus.
Thank you very much.
And I think you sang the best song in this final take.
I was impressed.
Thank you very much.
I think it was wonderful.
At the end, it resonated in my heart, including the part where I was out of breath.
Thank you very much.
And Ms. Sakaguchi, how was it?
I'm the same age as you and I'm six years apart.
When I first joined the company, I was like a little sister.
And now I'm working while looking at you like a child.
This time too, it was a song that showed Yuka's strength and delicacy.
I think I was born with it.
I'm not born anymore, but I was really impressed.
Thank you for doing your best as a representative of HKT.
It was wonderful.
Thank you very much.
That's all for Ms. Sakaguchi's singing assessment.
Everyone, please give her a big hand.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, Ms. Sakaguchi.
Thank you for your hard work.
We will now proceed with the sixth singer assessment.
The sixth final singer assessment is Nojima Kado of SKE48, first place in the fourth group.
Now, Nojima-san.
Yes.
The song you sang earlier looked like you were having fun.
Yes.
How will you sing the next song?
The next song is a song that my mother cherishes very much.
Ever since I was little, I knew that my mother liked it and chose this song.
It was the same when I sang it for the first time, but it's a song that my mother has always listened to and given me a lot of advice about, so I want to sing it with all my heart.
I understand.
Now, Nojima-san, please sing it for us.
The song is "Song of Life".
"Song of Life" Music & Lyrics by Nojima-san
Every time I ask the meaning of life
It warms my heart
The warmth of people
On one corner of this planet
Miracles happened to meet
No matter what...
More than jewels...
More than precious treasures...
There are days when you want to cry...
Days when you mourn despair...
At such times, stay by my side...
Your shadow is by my side...
If we sing together...
It brings back memories...
Of our hometown's sunset...
And that gentle warmth...
What's really important...
I can't see it hidden...
In these days that are too small...
There is an irreplaceable joy...
For giving birth to me...
For raising me...
For meeting me...
For laughing with me...
Thank you for all of it...
Thank you for this life...
Nojima-san, thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
How do you feel now, singing this song, which you yourself cherish so much?
Wow...
How can I say...
Hmm...
I think I was able to sing it with all my heart,
because I think I was able to sing it with all my heart,
and I'm happy that it has reached even the people in the back row.
Thank you very much!
Ms. Takahashi, as a judge, how do you feel about this expressive power?
Well...
It's wonderful!
And I think this kind of song is especially difficult.
Each and every sound, breath position, high tone...
I think it was wonderful that all of this was given to me.
Thank you very much!
And the supporting members...
Ms. Oba!
I was so moved...
Like...
Um...
Ever since I won the song, I've changed so much!
I've become so sparkly!
And I've always seen you at work and at work.
Every time I hear you sing, I feel like I'm getting better and better at singing.
I'm glad that I was able to show you my efforts here today.
Thank you very much!
That's all for Nojima's singer evaluation.
Everyone, please give her a big hand!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for your hard work!
It was a wonderful singing voice.
Now, let's move on to the seventh singer evaluation.
The seventh final singer evaluation is...
The fourth singer evaluation is...
SKE48 Furuhata Nao!
Now, Ms. Furuhata.
Yes!
How do you feel about singing the next song?
Originally, I didn't go out once or twice.
But now that I'm going out for the first time,
I think it's time for me to go out.
So I'm looking forward to this song.
Ah!
What was the question again? I'm sorry!
What made you sing this song?
Yes, I think it's really hard at this time of year.
I hope I can convey even a little kindness to the fans and listeners.
I hope I can convey it with the power of this song.
I understand. I'm looking forward to it.
Now, Ms. Furuhata, please sing.
The song is...
「to you」
The water of the pond, like a mirror, imitates the blue color of the sky.
The water bird living in the park gives life to it.
Light and shadow, front and back, without contradiction, they are close together.
If we could be like this...
I don't know what it really means, but...
For some reason, for some reason, feelings connect, don't they?
To you, who is far away, I say now...
Yesterday, which was sad, is now overflowing with tears...
If I could turn into a smile one day,
I'd be able to love people as much as I want...
You don't have to try so hard...
I can love you now...
I can love you more...
I'll get used to it, so you don't have to rush...
Ms. Furuato, thank you very much.
Were you able to convey your feelings to the fans?
Yes, I think I did.
It was wonderful. Thank you very much.
Ms. Inoue, what did you think of it?
She was so angry until a little while ago...
I'm not angry!
Oh, you're not angry.
I'm not angry!
She's in a good mood now.
Did you write this song yourself?
No!
It felt like you were singing your own song in part of the concert.
It was wonderful.
I asked you because I forgot to rate it.
Is it okay if I don't rate you?
No, you don't have to rate me.
You don't have to rate me.
It was wonderful.
Yes.
There was also a saying, "Make it your own."
That's all for Ms. Furuato's singing evaluation.
Everyone, please give her a big hand.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work.
I think that song resonated with the fans, too.
It was so quick.
The final singing evaluation.
That means it's the last one.
Yes, it is.
Let's move on to the last singing evaluation.
The eighth person in the final singing evaluation is...
With third place and first place...
STU48 YUNA IKENA!
Thank you.
Ikeda-san, this time has finally come.
Yes.
How do you feel?
First of all, I was worried about being chosen at the time of the finals, and then I was called my name and I was very surprised.
From there, I didn't think it would be the last one, so I was surprised and surprised, but I hope I can sing happily at the end.
Yes, I think everyone is looking forward to your singing voice.
Yes.
Then Ikeda-san will sing.
The song is "Ihoujin".
Children face the sky
Spreading both hands, birds and clouds
Even dreams, I try to grasp
That figure is me, who knows nothing about yesterday
I believed you could reach me with these fingers
Beyond where the sky and earth touch
A road that calls travelers from the past
For you, I'm just a passerby
I turned around for a moment and saw a stranger
For some reason, time travel fills my heart with wounds
It's a mysterious road
A letter that only says goodbye
I keep getting lost while writing
After that...
I keep getting lost while writing After that...
Thank you very much!
Ikeda-san, thank you very much!
Ikeda-san...
Yes?
Can I ask you one thing?
Yes!
You're really 16 years old, right?
Yes, I'm 16 years old.
With this song and this expression...
I was surprised at how you sang it.
Did you have fun singing it?
Yes, it was really fun!
Thank you very much!
It was wonderful!
Judge Isogai-san...
Please judge.
Yes...
It's strange for someone younger than you to sing the oldest song...
But I thought it was a performance that mixed youth and mature atmosphere in an exquisite balance.
Thank you very much!
You still have a lot of future ahead of you.
Please do your best!
Yes! Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Supporting member Imamura-san...
Yes?
How was it?
It was amazing!
I couldn't stop smiling from the beginning!
I was filled with gratitude for joining STU48!
Ikeda-chan was the best!
Thank you very much!
And with that...
Ikeda-san's singing assessment ends here!
Please give her a big round of applause!
Thank you for your hard work, Takuta-san.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Now, with that, all of the singing tests have ended.
Kurosawa-san, even though it went by so quickly, why don't you take a look and listen to it?
Yes. I've never thought it'd be this hard to get this many points.
Is that so?
We don't get any points at all, even when we're judging ourselves.
I think that's how high level we were this year.
That means that the listeners were very happy.
And you, the singers, were also happy.
I'm honestly glad I was able to participate in this.
Can I say that there wasn't much of a difference?
There wasn't at all, right?
I thought it was hard to tell.
I also noticed a difference, but I wouldn't be surprised if other people were doing something completely different.
Yes.
I'd like to ask you, too, Takaha-san.
Yes.
With that, all of the singing tests have ended.
How was it?
I was able to see such a great stage and learned a lot.
I think it was a really wonderful song, including for those of you who aren't here right now.
I know you're all nervous, but I think you've given it your all, so I hope you'll wait for the results of the singing tests.
Thank you.
I'm sure you were able to have fun and be moved.
After this, the winner of the singing test will be decided!
The 3rd AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Finals Results Announcement!
Now, AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round, the 3rd singing test will be decided!
Here, the final singing test will announce the top 3 with high scores and the 11 who could not make it to the finalists.
Judges, thank you for coming all the way here.
Thank you very much.
Once again, Kurosawa-san, we heard that you have improved in this competition, but wasn't it difficult to judge?
As we discussed with the judges earlier, there are many people who didn't make it to the finalists and got the same scores.
So we really didn't know what we would do if there were many people in the same place.
I think it was such a high-level competition.
Thank you very much.
Now, before we announce the top 3, let's announce the special award for judges.
On behalf of the judges, Kurosawa-san, please.
Now, I will announce it.
The 3rd AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Special Award goes to Yamazaki Amiru-san of NMB48.
Yamazaki-san, congratulations!
Congratulations!
I can see your smile!
Yamasaki Amiru-san, you won the right to appear in "Finalist Live"!
I'm so happy! Thank you!
Congratulations!
Of course you must have been frustrated, but how do you feel now that you've won "Special Jury Award"?
I really love "Finalist Live", so I wasn't able to win first place,
but I'm so happy that I can be involved in singing like this. Thank you!
Congratulations! You've been working hard for this year!
Kurosawa-san, please tell us why you chose her.
To be honest, she's still unstable at low and middle tones.
But she still has an overwhelming presence in high tones.
I chose her because I want to see her future as a talent, including unfinished parts.
Including future expectations, right?
Yes, including expectations.
Thank you!
So I hope you'll work harder!
Yes, I'm looking forward to it!
And...Maida-san!
Yamasaki-san, you've been chosen!
I'm as happy as I am right now!
I really love Amirun's singing voice, so I'm so happy that I can hear it again in "Finalist Live"!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
And so, the 3rd AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Finals Special Jury Award goes to Yamasaki Amiru- san!
Congratulations!
Everyone, please give her a big hand!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
I'm looking forward to "Finalist Live"!

AKB48, STU48...
Okada Nana!
Mr. Okada, congratulations!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Mr. Okada, as a result of being in third place, how do you feel?
Yes, honestly, I'm happy!
Last time I fell to fifth place and I felt very frustrated.
Of course, my goal was first place, but I'm happy to be in third place!
I think you wanted to show your back to the members.
Yes!
Didn't you be able to show your presence and performance?
Yes, I've been on stage three times in a row, and a lot of STU juniors have come in like this.
I wish I could be someone who can reassure everyone by being myself.
I was very happy to be able to see everyone's efforts up close, not just in 10th place.
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
Mr. Takahashi of the judges, how do you feel about Mr. Okada's singing?
I think it's really great!
And he has a star quality.
Stable, secure, effective and really relaxed.
Thank you!
It was wonderful!
Congratulations!
Let's hear from our supporters, Murayama-san!
Okada-san, you're in 3rd place!
Congratulations! Thank you!
I already knew what I liked about singing, regardless of whether I was in 10th place or not.
I'm glad I was able to sing and show you how happy I was.
I'm sure the fans had a wonderful time, too!
Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you very much!
And now, we'd like to hear from Imamura-san, too!
Yes! Really...
When Okada-nana-san was talking, she talked a lot about STU48.
Really, really...
I'm so happy that Okada-nana-san, a senior who always supports STU48, is here with us today!
It was really cool!
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Okada-nana-san was in 3rd place in the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Final!

SKE48...
Nojima Kano!
Thank you!
Nojima-san, congratulations!
Thank you!
Nojima-san...
Yes?
You're in 2nd place!
Yes!
It's really complicated...
I'm happy! But I'm also frustrated!
Are you frustrated?
I didn't want to be first place...
You won first place and didn't participate in the last tournament.
And you challenged this tournament with strong feelings.
But I think everyone gave you a great rating of second place.
Yes. But I have no regrets.
No regrets.
I had a lot of fun and I had a happy time. Thank you.
It was a great performance. Thank you for your hard work.
I think the judges have already approved of Inoue and Nojima's singing skills.
Yes, yes.
They've already been champions once.
And when you win first place once, everyone's eyes are strict, right?
But we're in the same place, right? We're in the same place.
Some people are in second place because they've been working hard.
Some people are in second place because of their strict eyes.
I think second place is a great result.
I think it's amazing that you've worked so hard for it.
Thank you.
Please tell the members of the audience.
But it's really amazing. First of all, congratulations.
Thank you.
But if you say you're frustrated,
I'm sure you'll be fired up again tomorrow.
I can't wait to see you take new steps again.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you.
I think we'll be able to connect again next time.
The third time, akb48 group singing ability number was decided.

Yes.
And you sang two songs and won!

I didn't even think about it.
Until now, I only thought about singing and sang.

Now, the winner will receive the trophy!
The judge, Kaoru Kurosawa, will receive the trophy!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Please give him a big hand!
Kurosawa-san, Agita-san's singing was wonderful, wasn't it?
No, it's really like this if you don't like it.
Especially from the first song to the second song, it got better again.
No, I can't help but give this person high scores.
I also gave it the best score, but after all, the judges and everyone were like that.
It was wonderful.
Thank you very much.
Please keep singing.
The more you sing, the better you get.
Seniors are getting better like that, so please keep singing.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
So, the third time, akb48 group singing power No. 1 finalist is...
Iteda Yura-san!
Everyone, please give him a big hand!

Wonderful.
There was a wonderful chorus.
Everyone, it was an overwhelming performance.
Well, it's about time for you to say goodbye.
Finally, everyone who participated in today's final competition will perform the song.
All members, please stand by.
I think it was a really difficult screening, but among them, Ikeda Yura was still shining.
I'm 16 years old, so I'm looking forward to my future growth.
I'm looking forward to it.
16 years old.
Actually, I had an expectation of what kind of singing voice I would show at the lottery, but Ikeda Yura made it wonderful.
The last song I'd like you to sing is AKB48's song.
The song will start with Ikeda Yura's solo performance, so please tell me as much as you like.
It looks like we're ready.
Please listen.
"God Airplane" on 365 days.
Looking up at the morning sky, I softly wished for today to be filled with smiles.
Sometimes it rains and my tears overflow, but I'll do my best tomorrow on a day that doesn't go as planned.
The dream I've always had is for me to be alone again.
The dream I can freely do whatever I want to do.
Life is a paper airplane. I'll fly with my wishes on board.
As much as I can in the wind, I'll just keep moving forward.
Where did I get that distance? Where did I get it?
That's what's most important.
As my heart desires, 365 days.
I'll fly with my wish on a paper airplane.
In the wind, with all my strength, I'll just keep moving forward.
Rather than competing for distance,
Where did you fly? Where did you fly?
That's what's most important.
Now, just as your heart desires, 365 days.
Fly away, just fly away.
Thank you very much, everyone.
Thank you very much.
Well, we've been broadcasting live for three and a half hours.
