AISubs v3.4
The chosen nine singers will play their dreams.
The third time, akb48 group singer power No. 1 finalist live.
The song "Beginning Song" was composed and composed by Gosperans Kaoru Kurosawa, who was performed for the first time on this stage.
A unit of nine finalists, Nona Diamonds.
On June 30, the single was released, and it stuck to the stage.
This March, rehearsal for the live performance.
It's very crowded, isn't it?
Thank you, finalists.
Thank you.
This time, singing ability No. 1 final finalist and special award nine finalists live.
And...
And audience, and viewers of television, I've prepared one video here.
Please see here.
9 people?
No way!
- Wow! - Mr. Kurosawa!
- Yes. - It's too fast!
- Wow! - Mr. Kurosawa!
Are you making an original song?
Well...
Well, I feel like I haven't sung enough yet, so...
I'd like you to sing the song I made.
Gosperers, which judges are in charge of,
are planning the first performance of the song created by Mr. Kurosawa and Ms. Kaori.
I think it's a wide range and difficult song,
but I wrote it because I thought it would be a new door for you when you sing it well.
The lyrics are like...
I made your story what I thought it would be.
I think it's easy to put emotions into it.
It's easy to put emotions into it, but it's hard to explode.
This dilemma is also...
You guys...
Your singing ability...
It's not featured as much as you'd like in AKB.
I'm actually expressing various thoughts about that.
So, I think you can sing that part as you like.
Thank you for your cooperation.
The title is "Beginning Song."
According to the data sent in advance,
the members have been practicing individually.
And this day, for the first time, they will perform for Mr. Kurosawa.
Beginning Song
With nine singers who have fully achieved their training results,
Kurosawa-san too.
Yes, everyone, thank you for your hard work.
I was moved.
Well, it's about 90 points now.
I'm very happy that you practiced more than I expected.
From here, to the actual performance.
In addition, to increase accuracy.
♪ Far away ~
Another night or so.
It's ideal when it sounds like "yeah"
If you have a voice that you make a lot, please remove it once.
Because this song is already for you.
I thought about it from the beginning and made it by order.
So if you sing normally, your voice will sound.
It's made to sound.
So don't be too conscious of it.
Try singing.
With this new song, I think I wrote the song for a group of singers.
I think you can enjoy it because you are not a favorite member of the akb group, but you are coming to a live performance of a singer's unit.
Before entering the singing competition, there were many parts that I could really sympathize with my feelings until now.
It was a song with a different atmosphere from the songs we've sung so far, so there was a harmony.
I often thought it wasn't an idol song.
I've never sung a song like this before, so I was scared at first whether we could complete it ourselves.
I'm sure I wanted to sing it, and I like the lyrics a lot, but I can sing with a lot of emotion, so I think it's a wonderful song with a lot of love and I'm happy to receive it.
I think it's a song that can bring out your own personality and put your feelings of wanting to jump over to this song.
When I heard this song, I thought it would be a song that would make fans feel like something was boiling up.
It's an idol song we're singing, but I want you to listen to it as an ordinary artist and singer, and I want you to know that even idols can sing like this.
March 26, Chiba Prefecture, Maihama Amphitheatre.
A few hours before the actual performance, preparations were in full swing.
It's a one-night special stage where everything is performed live by the band.
In addition, this day was held with fans under thorough infection prevention measures.
Nine singers are in the venue with joy in their hearts.
This is the third time.
It's the third time.
That's right.
Last year it was at Amphitheatre and the year before it was at Toyosupid.
Before the rehearsal, the first ones to go on stage were these two, representing stu48.
It's a one-night special.
Yes.
Go for it.
Yura Ikeda, 17 years old.
She became the queen of singing while being a research student in the third round of singing ability No. 1 final, which she participated for the first time.
Wow!
This is for you and your fans.
Oh, there it is.
Yura Ikeda.
Thank you very much.
The countless bouquets that color the stage are the "ailes" for nine people sent by many fans.
Last year, I came here for my seniors' concert at the STU, when I was in second grade and was allowed to stand in the back.
Even at that time, I thought, "Oh, this is where I'm going to do the finalist live."
Isn't it amazing to stand in the STU with 40 people and stand alone?
That's right.
Because I think it's probably here.
Here.
That's right.
No, I'm alive. Today is zero.
I'm excited.
It's a stage I've been dreaming of all along, and today is finally here.
When it's over, I want to make it a live performance that you can really enjoy without regret.
First-generation queen, ske48's Kano Nojima.
It's been two tournaments since she appeared.
I've only studied for two and a half months, so I want to do my best not to lose to everyone, or not to slow down, and do my best to show my ability.
Nana Okada, who will appear three times in a row, will appear as AKB48 and STU48.
AKB48 is a group that sings with a lot of fun and
Akiyoshi Yuka, who advanced to the final tournament by passing the first place in the qualifying round, has expanded her range of activities with her singing ability.
I think singing is something I can express the most, so I would like to sing so that my feelings can be conveyed to those who are watching me or those who are watching me on TV.
Nao Furehata of ske48, who entered 4th place for the first time in the room, has a lot of expressive power.
Yano Honoka of sk48 is appearing for the second time. She has strong feelings for this live performance, but...
I haven't been able to meet my fans, I haven't been able to shake hands with them, and I haven't been able to feel energetic in any industry in the world, but we would like to make a live performance that will cheer you up with our songs.
So I don't want it to be just for idol fans, but I want you to see it as an artist.
Hino Mimura, who has been the only participant since njt48. She is good at her favorite musical songs.
I want to deliver a song that can bring smiles and hope to everyone.
In her 12th year as an idol,
experienced SKE48 member Suzuran Yamauchi
was also dancing her heart out on a new stage.
It's not often that we get a chance to sing solo like this.
I hope this stage we've grasped ourselves
will be a stage that goes beyond 100%, no, 200% limits.
Please be careful.
In the special show for judges,
Ms. Yamasaki Amir, who will be appearing for the third time in the NMV48,
In addition, the stage in the unit beyond the group's limits is also a big highlight of the finalist live.
What kind of chemical reaction will happen?
It's like a collaboration for the first time in seven years.
A collaboration for the first time in seven years.
We've changed and gone through a lot of life.
There were a lot of things.
I'm so happy and grateful to be able to sing with you like this.
First of all, collaborating with other groups like this...
You don't really get to sing in a 48 group live.
That's right.
Besides, it's not really an idol song in the first place.
And at the end of the rehearsal, the song begins.
Mr. Yasawa has also joined us.
Good morning.
Excuse me, can you do the intro again?
Good. Good. That's good.
Ms. Kurosawa values her nine people's ability and gaze more than anyone else.
That's why she gave advice until the last minute to deliver the best performance she can do now.
"Someone scream" like this.
Yes.
Like this. Talk more and more like this.
When I decided to be a singer, I thought, "Oh, I'm really good at singing, everyone," but it was like an ordinary artist's live festival.
So I think it would be great if you could sing with a lot of fun.
I think it would be a great live if you could sing with the feeling of "Look at my good points."
Well, I'm nervous, but I think you'll be nervous, too, so let's do our best!
Thank you very much!
All we can do is wait for the actual performance.
I'm happy.
Your bangs are nice.
You're brave.
I heard you didn't go to a beauty salon.
No, I went to a hair salon.
From a hair salon?
Yes, from a hair salon.
Oh!
No, it's nice.
Is it okay?
Huh?
Yeah, it's okay.
But if it's Tamiguchi or something like that, Ren or Jackie will come out a lot.
Oh, yes!
Then I'll leave it up to you all.
I got it!
Everyone, lick it before it starts.
I got it!
Yes, there are a lot of them.
Yes, yes.
I'll make sure the lyrics are correct.
It's okay, it's okay.
Don't worry about it.
I'm sorry!
Don't worry about it, don't worry about it.
I'm sorry!
It's okay, it's okay.
Can you say something like "la la la" or something like that?
No, I'll decide on the actual performance properly.
I'm sorry!
It's perfect.
I'll give it to everyone.
Yes, please.
Thank you very much!
At 5:30 p.m., the venue was finally opened.
While infection prevention measures were being implemented, about 900 fans rushed in.
Before the performance, the members united their feelings with the band.
Today, you are the main characters.
Let's deliver the music we made together and the things we worked hard on together to the audience and viewers.
Yes!
♪ In the past, in the future, in the future, in the past. ♪
Yes, OK!
Finalist Live, let's go!
This is crazy, really.
- Your face is a little cramped up. - This is crazy, really crazy.
My facial muscles...
And then...
Finally, the finalist live is about to start!
Yeah!
I've been looking forward to the finalist live for a long time.
I'm very nervous, too.
But I'm going to have fun and do my best today.
Well, everyone, it's about to start.
The nine of us will sing with all our hearts, so please take care of us.
That's all! I'm Yura Ikeda of STU48!
Bye-bye!

I've never cried in a street corner where the lights have gone out
I wasn't afraid of getting caught up in a fast car or being spinned around
I was watching my red scarf sway with strange feelings
But I don't cry
I was watching my red scarf sway with strange feelings
But I didn't feel like crying
I've never cried in the middle of a cold night
I wasn't afraid of getting caught up in a fast car or being spinned around
And as my friends changed, my memories increased
But I didn't feel like crying
These aren't decorations, these are tears
I'm telling you I love you, aren't I?
These aren't pearls, these are tears
As long as it's pretty, I don't care
But these tears are a little too sad
These aren't decorations, these are tears
As long as it's pretty, I don't care
But these tears are a little too sad
As long as it's pretty, I don't care

♪ ♪ ♪
Once upon a time, there lived a clumsy boy and a little strong girl.
They lived in different worlds, and one day,
they met and fell in love.
The boy was kind and always looked down on,
and the girl always apologized in letters.
One day, when the stars fell down,
a boy took her hand and said,
"I love you more than anyone else, more than you think.
My heart is always filled with you.
I may be unreliable, but I'll always protect you,
so please stay with me, stay with me forever."
Since then, the two of them have cut through thorny paths many times,
sometimes fighting storms.
No matter what, they held hands with each other
and caused countless miracles.
I love you as much as you love me.
My heart is always filled with you.
I'll always rely on you,
so please let me stay with you, stay with you forever.
And they lived happily ever after.
The orange crescent moon is at the edge of the sky and looks like it's sulking.
I couldn't even call you.
I hated you and waited for you for so long.
I know that work is busy today, but
I miss the sound of my feet on the asphalt alone.
I want to turn on one of those autumnal songs.
I want to see you so much that I want to cry.
I want to fly through the sky right now.
Why did I fall in love with you so much?
I didn't mean to be serious.
How long do I have to wait for you to come back?
Should I stay here until dawn?
Why do I have so much courage?
I can come back tomorrow, but I don't want to go home
Ah...
Ha-ha-ha...
I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but I'll do it.
Thank you for watching.
That there is a dream that is very important
No one has said a word about it
If I were to say it easily
Feelings buried deep in my heart leak out
Even if I reach out my hand
It will never reach you
What is hope?
The further away you are, the brighter the light is
Don't give up, don't look back, don't run away from yourself
There is only one way to go, no matter how far it is
Beyond despair, you will see a faint light
Even if you get tired and fall down
Stand up again
Someday, I want to reach it
To where my dream, buried deep in my heart, is
I'm so absorbed in it, it's wonderful
The further you are from hope, the brighter the light is
Don't give up, don't run away from your heavy self
You have no choice but to walk on a dark road
You'll see a faint light ahead of despair
Even if you get tired and fall down, stand up again
Someday you'll want to get there
To the bottom of the mountain you've always aimed for, to where your dream is
Someday you'll want to get there
Yay!
So, we've heard the first solo song of "Hero" by five people in a row.
Are you enjoying it?
Yay!
Thank you!
First of all, Suzuran-san, you showed us your "not a decoration" tears.
How was it?
You're nervous, aren't you?
You're talking in one shot, aren't you?
I'm a cat.
I'm usually like "I'm going to sing now" in the first song.
But it's like "du-du-ru-ru" from the beginning.
So I was like "Should I go for it?"
It started on its own, didn't it?
It didn't feel like that at all.
I'm glad you wrote it.
When I wrote "I'm nervous" in the back, she was like...
What are you trying to do?
I thought you had a good junior.
Can I ask you one thing?
Yes.
What did you do with your hair?
For today's concert, I matched it with this color.
Is that so?
It's hot.
It suits you so well.
I wanted to show you how far I've come.
That's amazing!
Thank you!
You're so cool.
Amazing!
Amiru-chan, you wrote "Bedtime Story".
Yes, I did.
I wanted to sing a cute song for you.
I love this song, so I chose it.
My costume is also pink.
It was cute.
I was really nervous.
Really?
When I heard you sing in the back, I was like...
She's cute.
I don't know why I said it, but you were really cute.
I'm glad you said it.
Yano Honoka-chan, you sang "Yokaze no Shiwaza".
That's right.
This time, we can sing a song by the 48 Group.
But I sang "Yokaze no Shiwaza" by Kashiwa Geek.
This band...
I'm so happy that I can sing in a concert.
But I think I was able to deliver "Yokaze no Shiwaza" to you.
How was it, everyone?
Yano-chan's voice is really clear.
I'm envious of you.
I opened my mouth wide and looked at you.
I want you to close your mouth.
You're so kind.
Each of you has a different voice quality.
And Kano-chan...
Yume no Arika
I performed "Yume no Arika".
It's a solo song that I received as a winner in the first singing ability number one final round.
I'm very emotional when I say that I can sing this song on this stage.
There's something amazing about it.
Thank you very much.
Kano-chan won the first round.
When I met you for the second time, I thought about whether I should join you.
We had a lot of conflicts.
But you joined us for the third time.
You ran up to the finalist live like this.
The lyrics of "Yama no Itadaki"... Is that it?
Was there such a part?
Wasn't there?
There is, but...
There is, right?
What was it?
"Yama no Itadaki" that I've been aiming for all along.
That's right, right?
That's where it hits you hard.
I'm happy.
It was cool.
And I'd like to announce one more thing today.
"Yume no Arika" is different from "Ongen" this time.
The band arranged it for me.
I think it's only for today.
Right?
I'm really happy.
That's great.
The band members arranged everyone's music for me.
It's a song that hasn't been done before.
I think it's our song.
It's such a wonderful song.
What did you think, Hikawa-san?
Stop it. I don't know the answer to that question.
But today...
From the looks of it...
That's right.
Until now, we sing ballad songs at competitions.
So we chose a song that we don't sing at competitions.
We were overwhelmed by Akiyoshi-chan's confidence.
I'm happy.
Like...
Before we go on stage...
Lan-san, are you nervous?
Lan-san is definitely nervous.
She talks a lot when she's nervous.
I talk when I'm nervous!
So cute!
You're nervous, aren't you?
Please!
We'll perform our first solo song again.
Yano-chan, please tell us about your solo song.
Our solo song will continue, but...
"Kuse ga Tsuyoi"!
For some reason...
During rehearsal...
We told Yano-chan not to say it during rehearsal.
We practiced "kuse ga tsuyoi" after singing it.
Even in the script, it was written in a different color.
That's right.
Like a surprise mark.
"Kuse ga Tsuyoi" will continue!
Yes!
Everyone, are you still excited?!
Well then, please listen to four songs in a row!
Here you go!

Someone is looking at me through the reflection in the mirror
In the dark sky of the railroad track,
the rustling wind is different from yesterday
Let me hear your voice, let me see you
Let me go
Hey, in the broken birdcage
Forever alone
It's a long story
Connected to the chain that only you can see
Wandering in a dream
Waiting for you with a tired face and two eyes
Well, I want to break it
But I'm afraid of the end
So I repeat it again

I'm here for you, one day...
It's a long story
A chain that only I can see
I'm still connected
Wandering in a dream
Two eyes of glass with tired faces waiting for me
I want to stop it now
But I'm afraid of the end
So I repeat it again
Don't call me that, adults
Even so, our hearts right now are pure
I want to say "I love you" to you
Just holding your hand tightens my heart
I will love you forever
I won't let go of the promise we made together
So don't look at anyone else
Just keep looking at me
You know my song
I don't want to be apart from you, joy my life
Let's fall in love, just the two of us
Keep our make up, the promise we made long ago
I've forgotten how to protect you
Baby, don't look at anyone else
Just keep looking at me
You know, I don't want to talk about love
But you have, I love you
Always, darling, I love you
Don't tell anyone else
Yes, I know, so that it won't break
Always, I can live without you
You give love in you
Muscle rain to bustly oosh,
Nougat to carlben,
Dazzle, fingers and lips, you're always looking good,
Rootsies to the paradise,
Slippery skin and black and blue,
Donald and Papa are crushed,
Come on, bite me and wait for me!
Two of us, like demoniacs,
Are going to turn into bees,
Everyone's having fun, right?
Why are you crying?
Love your heart,
Dye it black like the wind,
Slippery skin and black,
Black, black, black life!
The bust of you floating in the air,
It's like a merry-go-round,
Throw it away and give it back,
It's about time we went out,
Angel and cradle,
It's weird, isn't it?
No one has it in their hands,
A plastic bag and an empty can,
You're always the one who melts it,
Whether you like it or not,
Hey, isn't it fun?
Why are you crying?
If you don't quit, you won't lose,
You're free, right?
I'll give you as much as you want,
But,
If you get tired of it, I'll throw it away,
Cause I love dirty black love, black life,
Black love, black life,
Don't hang up the phone,
Don't turn off the motorcycle,
If you want to get in the car,
I'll call you,
More than a broken mask,
Our eyes are the only ones that shine,
Take off your mask,
And step into this place,
Tears,
Blood, love, black life!
Someday, black, black, black life!

Yeah!
- This way. - Come here.
- Yes, we performed our first solo song in a row. - Yes.
- How did you like it, everyone? - Yeah!
- Sorry, I got carried away. - Yes.
- Before we started, - Yes.
- I thought you all had strong habits. - Yes.
- You said we all had strong habits. - Yes, but...
- I think only you and Furuwata have strong habits. - No, I don't have strong habits.
- No, you do! - No, you don't.
- You sank, didn't you? - Yes, I did.
- You were dancing, weren't you? - Yes, I was.
- You were cool. - Yes.
- The one who was cool was... - Furuwata.
- I was free to do whatever I wanted, - Furuwata.
- but after that, - Furuwata.
- my blackness was washed away. - Furuwata.
- Thank you. I'll purify you. - Thank you so much!
- I purified you. Thank you so much! - Furuwata.
- Your blackness is gone and you're white now. - That's right!
- I think your fans must have been so relieved. - That's right.
- Thanks to you, Furuwata. - That's right.
- What do you think of Hino's worldview? - Oh, I'm so happy!
- Is that your original choreography? - Yes, it is!
It's from the anime "Aikatsu!".
I happen to be in the same generation as you,
and I copied and copied my favorite character's song,
even though it's not exactly a copy and paste,
and I performed it as a homage to that song.
- Wow! - Wow!
- That was really amazing!
- Come to think of it, you were able to use a lifter!
- Oh, I guess you could say that!
- That song had such a long impression on me,
and we talked about whether we should let it sink or not,
because it was so emotional.
- Oh, I see! - Yes.
- This song is really...
- The band is really cool, - I'm glad.
- and one day, on this finalist's stage,
- I was wondering if you could play it for me. - Oh, I'm glad!
- I performed it for you! - I'm glad, I'm glad!
- Yes, um... - I'm glad.
- People always tell me to make the band cry.
- That's true, it's hard to make them cry. - That's right.
- Yes. - What about you, Natchan?
- I'm going to perform a song called "La Baso" by Kou Shibasaki.
- Oh! - Yes.
- Has anyone of you seen the drama "Otomen",
- which I was in more than ten years ago?
- Oh! - Oh!
- Oh, there are a few of you! I'm so happy! - Yes, there are!
- When I was in elementary school, I really liked the drama "Otomen",
- and the theme song of the drama was "La Baso". - Oh!
- When I was in elementary school, I sang my favorite song on stage.
- Me too! - Oh!
- When I was in elementary school! - When I was in elementary school!
- Yes, me too! - Yes, me too!
- It makes you want to sing it, doesn't it? - It makes you want to sing it, doesn't it?
- Yes, that's why singing it was so much fun for me.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Thank you, Stebioshi.
- It was like...
- It was like Natchan's live performance!
- Yes! - It really was!
- Everyone was so kind. - Yes.
- Thank you very much. - It was great.
- Uragata-san... - Yes.
- You were amazing. - Thank you.
- It was like...
- How do I say it?
- You sing in rehearsals, don't you?
- Yes, yes.
- You showed me the video you filmed. - Yes, yes.
- But you had so much laughter from the staff.
- No, it was so amazing that it made me laugh.
- Oh, I see.
- But you know, you can't really make a voice right now.
- Yes, you're right.
- So I wanted you to use it and immerse yourself in this world.
- My eye color is light blue and yellow-green.
- Oh, I see.
- I like light colors, so I chose it, but I'm sorry I didn't immerse myself in it.
- No, it was amazing.
- Thank you. - It was great.
- Thank you. - I love you.
- I'm really happy.
- Thank you.
- I was happy.
- I chose "Kawano no Nakare no You ni" this time.
- Someone told me that I should sing it.
- I was worried because it was so difficult.
- I was nervous and worried even before the performance.
- But Furuhato-san's "BL" was right in front of me.
- It was like this.
- It was dangerous.
- I was like, "I'm going to spit it out like a plastic bag."
- I was about to be taken somewhere.
- I was about to do this with my two fingers.
- Oh, no, with my three fingers.
- I was about to do this with Yura-chan.
- But after listening to "BL", I was able to calm down.
- I wasn't nervous anymore.
- I was like, "Ah, I can do this with all my strength."
- You were able to be brave.
- Yes.
- That's amazing.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- I'm happy.
- You have a beautiful voice. - I'm glad you said that.
- I know, right?
- You have a small body, but you have a loud voice.
- Why do you have such a story-telling voice?
- I know, right?
- How much do you want?
- Don't give that to my daughter.
- No?
- You didn't teach her that?
- No, I didn't.
- She's pure.
- She's only 17 years old.
- I'll give you as much as you want.
- Let's go.
- Let's go back to the live show.
- Nao-san, please tell us what you're going to do next.
- I'm going to sing a unit song that you can only see here.
- Can I say it?
- Yes, you can.
- I'm going to sing with Nana Okada.
- I'm looking forward to it.
- It's been 6 or 7 years since we sang together.
- Yes, we sang together at an AKB concert.
- It was a young concert.
- Yes, yes.
- We had black hair and long hair.
- That's right.
- This time, we're going to show you both our transformed selves.
- It's been 7 years since we last saw you all.
- Please look forward to it.
- I'm looking forward to it.
The live show will continue.
Everyone, are you ready to get excited?
Thank you for your applause.
- Thank you. - Yes.
Please listen to four songs in a row.
- Please! - Please!
I'm Sorry
Maybe it's okay if it's not me
We were two people with no room
We always fought when we realized it
I'm sorry
I've always wanted to talk to you
I'm sure we won't meet
It's a room with only two of us
You were the only one talking
If we meet somewhere one day
Will you laugh at me today?
I can't tell you why
But I don't want to cry after you fall asleep
Your voice, your face, your awkwardness
I don't hate it all
Like a dry flower
The days I spent with you
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
Will fade away
I'm glad it wasn't you
You won't make me cry anymore
And you won't say "it's always me" anymore
Even if it's such a sad goodbye
If time passes, I'll forget you
I wonder if you and the new person next to you
Are doing well together
I don't want to see your face anymore
So please don't contact me anymore
You haven't changed at all
But I still can't ignore your reply
Your voice, your face, and how clumsy you are
I don't think I still hate you
Dry flower
If time passes, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
It'll fade away
[Miyashita Yuu - "Miyashita Yuu"]
At the end of a winding road (at the end of the road)
Many little lights are waiting for you
Even if it's still far away and you can't see it (even if you can't see it)
(one step at a time)
Just believe in that alone
[Miyashita Yuu - "Miyashita Yuu"]
Even if you can't love everything (even if you can't love everything)
Just have one thing in your heart (just have one thing in your heart)
The person you continue to love (the person you continue to love)
That proud face of yours (that proud face of yours)
It's overflowing with kindness as big as nothing
At the end of a winding road (at the end of the road)
Many little lights are waiting for you
Even if it's still far away and you can't see it (even if you can't see it)
Just believe in that alone
With the palm of my hand clenched tight
I can't grasp anything
From the gap of my open fingers
The dream and yearning he once had
Seems like it only wants me to realize it
It's looking forward to tomorrow
At the end of a winding road
A small light that shines on and off
It's still far away and I can't see it, but I can see it now
That's all I want
A narrow exit called "truthfulness"
Good feelings are pulling me in
La la la la la la la
Oh oh oh oh oh
All I have to do is
Get back straight to the days
Only to follow my footsteps
Now, because I'm waiting for that day I dreamed of at the end of the road
You smiled at me and said "see you again"
We were laughing back at each other like before, but before I knew it
Your figure had blurred a little
How many nights have passed since then?
The scenery I want to see with you, reflected in the white screen across the window
Even now, I can't take my eyes off of them
Like snow falling all over the place
In this city, I can only think of you
Even if we can't touch each other, nothing will change
Ah, no matter how many times I look back at you
Your words and voice make me want to see you
No matter how many times we believe in each other
We will always be connected
Even in this city lit up by snow
A gentle spring will bloom someday
When we meet again here,
I hope you won't shed any tears.
The light snow announces the end of winter.
At that moment, I place my wish upon it.
All seasons and scenery,
I want to feel it in the same place as you do.
A gentle breeze blows in the city.
On that day when vivid flowers bloom,
and for us two who keep waiting,
ah, I hope spring will come.
I hope we can meet again with a smile.
The words we swore on a legendary morning
Illuminate a miracle with our shared voices
Revolution, one, let's shout!
In front of the wind is a sky of light
A remnant of wind that blows through the sky
This right hand and this left hand, what do you want?
Emotions desired by the catharsis of the soul
If they overlap and connect, will they reach you?
If fate lets it flow as it is
It's not fun if it doesn't change
The words we swore on a legendary morning
Illuminate a miracle with our shared voices
Revolution, one, let's shout!
Just Trust My Heart (Just Trust My Heart)
Hold You
Pride high love crystal
If you hold it tight, I'll come and pick you up
I've seen it all from the moment I met you
You & I love song
We're torn apart and isolated
Let's try to reach the direction of life with all our might
It's a high-class love, isn't it?
Let's know the end of dreams
No matter how many times we run into each other one day
You'll be my judge that day
Revolution, one, let's shout!
No, no, no, no, no!
That was so cool!
That was so much fun!
Yeah, it was!
That was amazing!
Yes! We played four songs in a row!
Thank you so much!
Now we'd like to hear your impressions of each unit!
First of all, Akiyoshi-san and Yamasaki-san, for performing "Dry Flower" in a row. How did you like it?
Well, last year we performed "Dry Flower" in a row as well, but this year I feel more confident.
It's true, I feel like we both grew up and came back. I feel very secure.
Thank you! It was fun!
It was fun, wasn't it?
I hope we can do it again!
I thought it was amazing that you could play the guitar.
I tried playing the guitar once, but my little finger was too short and I couldn't reach it.
So I gave up.
I admire you!
Next, Nojima-san and Yamasaki-san, for performing "Winding Road" in a row. How did you like it?
It was fun!
It was fun! It was the most fun!
The harmonies were very difficult.
Ayaka-san and Kobukuro-san, for rehearsals we rehearsed many times and practiced until we were satisfied.
When we performed here, it was the coolest and most fun.
I was shaking!
The moment we stood here, I thought, "I'm Kobukuro!"
What?
It's nothing. It's okay.
Thank you!
It was fun!
Kiyoshi-san and Kobukuro-san were here and many other people.
Next, Yano-san and Mimura-san, for performing "Reunion". How did you like it?
I've always wanted to play this song.
I wanted to play it with girls from Niigata.
I'm the only girl from Niigata here.
It's okay.
I'm also from Niigata, but I wanted to play it with girls from Niigata.
I asked Hino-chan and I'm really happy.
It came true.
It was only the day before the competition that we met for the first time.
We talked for the first time and sang "Reunion" for the first time.
I said we should practice harmonies and we practiced.
But we sang it well and I felt like we did our best.
You're an adult.
We sang "Reunion" with Lisa-san and Ul-san.
It was fun!
Thank you!
Nana-san and Furuhata-san, for performing "Reunion" for the last time. How did you like it?
We've changed.
We've become cooler.
When we faced each other 7 years ago, you had black hair and I had Mona Lisa hair.
And we sang "Christmas Eve" together.
But now...
Your hair color has changed too.
It's pink like a cherry blossom.
We were like that.
But I thought only Furuhata-san could do Nishikawa Takanori-san's part.
So I wrote "Furuhata Nao-san too" in the survey.
I wanted to do this revolutionaryism too.
I wrote "revolutionaryism" and I'm sorry I wrote "Ran- san" instead of "Furuhata Nao-san".
You knew it?!
You're lying!
I felt like I was dumped.
But it's not like that.
There's a reason for it.
I thought "Na-chan" would be good too.
But I was a little shy.
So I was worried if I could sing along with "Na- chan".
You shouldn't say that either!
I'm sorry!
Wait, you're the second woman?!
I'm sorry about that.
I'm sorry, but you can't beat me.
I'm happy we sang the same song we like.
Thank you so much.
Amazing!
That was cool!
Let's get back to the show. Yamasaki-san, could you tell us what you're looking forward to?
Yes! I'm looking forward to "Kashou Ryoku No. 1 Music History"!
I'm going to listen to the preliminary and final songs from the first to the third competition!
I'm looking forward to it!
Please enjoy the rest of the show!
We'll play nine songs in a row!
Enjoy!
These feelings I've gathered up until the last second
The days that have piled up
Will not betray you
The dazzling sunlight
It's turning into a western sun
Illuminating a youthful time that will never come again
Illuminating it
I'm chasing my dream straight ahead
I love your eyes
Being with you like that
I want to cherish it now
Tears and smiles
Are proof that I've become reckless
Living with you like that
I'm proud of it
The scenery you're looking at now
The sound of the wind you can hear
It's all supporting you
Fly high in the sky
I'm chasing my dream straight ahead
I love your eyes
Being with you like that
I want to cherish it now
Tears and smiles
Are proof that I've become reckless
Living with you like that
I'm proud of it
I'll always be proud of you
Good-bye, water pen.
The night that I've been holding back will end yesterday.
I want to make sure of the reason I met you in the dark.
I want you to open your eyes.
I want the sound of shoes and sleeping world to resonate with me.
I'm looking up at my bike that fell into a dead end.
I'm sure I can heal my own sadness by myself.
I've just started my revolution.
I want to tell someone about disturbing tomorrow.
My first, my death, right now.
If you want to chase your dream, you can't make it cheap.
You taught me.
My first, my death, I can start running.
Borschick's lovers only believe in dreams.
At the intersection, I rush out, but when I wave my hand, you come to me.
I don't want to let go of the strength I feel for just one person in this city.
What I want, my revolution, is to change tomorrow.
The love I want to tell someone, my death, my death, right now.
If you want to chase your dream, you can't cry easily.
The love you taught me, my death, my death, I can start running.
We closed the door to our room
And said goodbye to our memories
Since then, half a year has passed
And I can finally smile
I'm busy every day
I'm walking my own new life
I want to see you
On sleepless nights
I want you to feel the same way
Come here, I'll gently close my eyes
Don't forget the days we spent together
You won't regret it, will you?
The fact that we loved each other
I gently close my eyes and think of you
"I love you" I mutter
I love you
It's the opening ceremony!
Today is the opening ceremony!
The windows and doors are already open
How long has it been?
There are so many plates too
The closed rooms are also decorated beautifully for celebration
It feels like I'm in a different place
I've been dreaming of this moment for a long time
That's how I was born
I pray for music
I'm so happy I'm going to fly up
I'm not alone anymore
Like a dream, I'll meet a lot of people today
Maybe I'll meet someone destined for me
Tonight I'll dress up in a beautiful dress
I'll be more attractive than anyone else
Suddenly I realize
I'm a wonderful young man
I'm embarrassed so I'll eat some chocolate
We'll talk about a lot of things and get along
It feels kind of weird
My heart dances for the first time since I was born
I want to be called out for the first time since I was born
Let's secretly pray for romance to come
So I can meet someone special
I want to be alone but I don't want to see anyone
If I could touch you with my own hands, would you notice?
But if it's only for today, let's make it work, let's hope for a dream to come true, right now!
I'll give you freedom for the first time in my life
Let's change everything and find love
Even if it's only for a day, I want it to be exciting
That's right, for the first time in my life, for the first time in my life
Even so, it's okay
Even so, I think it's okay
It was love
Even if I know I can't go back
I want to be connected
I felt like this for the first time
Sometimes we can't be different
It's natural for us to break promises
Even so, 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
Do you even remember love?
Your smell, your gestures, everything
It's strange, isn't it? Say it and smile
Even though we're separated, it's only about you
Love is so painful
Love is so sad
I never thought
I thought of you with all my heart
The way you talk, the way you act, everything about you is strange, isn't it?
Tell me that and smile for me.
Even though we're separated, I can only think about you.
You are the unforgettable person in me.
The person who gave me everything.
Even if we can never go back,
Right now it's only you, only you.
Only you.
Follow us on twitter and follow us on facebook!
Many of them are facing the sky,
spreading both hands,
trying to catch even birds, clouds, and dreams.
That figure is me, who doesn't know anything about yesterday.
I believed you could reach me with these fingers.
Far away where the sky and earth intersect,
a path that calls travelers from the past.
For you, I'm just a passerby.
I turned around for a moment and saw a stranger.
Time travel is here.
I don't know why, but I'm filling up this mysterious road.
A letter with only "goodbye"
I keep getting lost, like a child.
All that's left is sadness,
a hot and sweet stranger.
All that's left is sadness,
a hot and sweet stranger.
The water of the pond, like a mirror,
imitates the blue color of the sky,
and lives in the park.
The water bird gives life to it.
Light and shadows, front and back,
without contradiction, they are close together.
If we could be like this...
Why...
What...
Does...
Through someone...
Through something...
Our feelings will connect, won't they?
To you, who is far away...
That's all I can say now...
Sad yesterday...
Beyond the tears...
If it turns into a smile someday...
I like people...
I can like them more...
So I don't have to work hard...
I like the moment...
I can like them more...
So I don't have to work hard...
[applause]
"Goodbye", "thank you" is all I can say.
But what's more important than sadness
is what I want to tell you to your dying back.
I hope I can make it in time for your warmth and pain.
I thought it would go on like this.
I was drawing our tomorrow.
Even though the light we shared is still hot in our hearts.
We met in the middle of our burning journey.
We held hands and talked about the future.
Whenever my dream comes true, I want you to be stronger.
I made up my mind to make you happy.
I'm trapped by nostalgic feelings.
I cry and scream in a cruel world.
The more I grow up, the more I increase.
I don't want to lose anything anymore.
If I get drunk in sadness and fall down,
I won't feel pain anymore.
Your words and your wishes,
I made up my mind to protect them.
Now...
I make a sound and collapse and fall down.
It's one, but irreplaceable world.
I'm trapped by nostalgic feelings.
I reached out and held on to a bundle of intense light.
It shined and disappeared for the sake of the future.
I'm going to go beyond the happiness and promises I was entrusted with.
I won't look back and move forward.
I'll only look forward and shout.
I'll light a fire in my heart and go far into the future.
Ah...
THE END
I'm telling you, oh yeah
I softly whisper
Tonight, tonight
You are my engine
I love you, oh yeah
The two of us together
Tonight, tonight
I just wanna say
Wherever you are, I always make you smile
Wherever you are, I'm always by your side
Wherever you say, I feel good thinking of you
I promise you forever, right now, oh yeah
I don't need a reason, oh yeah
I just want you, baby
Alright, alright
Day of the day, mmm yeah
From now on and forever
Oh yeah, please stay with me
Until you die, oh yeah
We carry on
Wherever you are, I always make you smile
Wherever you are, I always by your side
Whatever you say, the feelings I have for you
I promise you forever, right now
Wherever you are, I never make you cry
Wherever you are, I never say goodbye
Whatever you say, the feelings I have for you
I promise you forever, right now
The day we met was the first memory for us
And today is the second memory for us
I love you
Someone I love from the bottom of my heart
Because you're always in the middle of my love
Wherever you are, I always make you smile
Wherever you are, I'm always by your side
Whatever you say, whatever you feel
I promise you forever, right now
Wherever you are
Yeah!
Woohoo! Yeah!
Yeah!
Wow!
Well, everyone!
We've made it this far, but how did you like
continuing with the song?
Yeah!
Thank you very much!
I'd like to hear from a few of you here, but first I'd like to hear from Mimura-chan, who sang the Disney song "Here On The Beach"!
Yes! I was the first person to sing "The Queen of Snow and Holes" when I was born!
That was amazing! The feeling of being born!
By the way, in my last finalist live performance, I sang "Intuition Known" by 2NE1.
This year, I sang "Intuition Known" for the first time in a final, and I performed it again, but not only that!
I sang it for Nojima Kano-san as Elsa!
I didn't know you'd come out!
Oh, you really didn't know?
Yes, I came as Elsa today. Thank you for having me!
There are a lot of guests today, right?
I'm Elsa!
No, it's like, from the middle of it, I was like, "Oh, is she the one appearing?"
But it was really nice of you to come out!
I'm sure it was!
Yes, it was nice! Thank you!
So it was your first duet?
- Yes! - That's right!
- I was really happy! - It was wonderful!
- Thank you! - Thank you!
Next up is Ikeda-chan, who sang "Ihojin"!
Yes!
- How was it? - Well...
I sang it in the finals, but...
I thought, "Oh, it's only this one time," and I sang it again, so I was happy!
- You were leveling up since the finals, weren't you? - Yes!
- Were you? - The structure is different!
- It's different! - It's different!
- She was doing it with her fists!
In the STU, after Ike-chan sang "Ihojin" in the finals,
- the STU staff and everyone are calling you "Ihojin"! - Yes!
- That makes you happy? - Yes, I'm happy!
- I'm happy! - I'm happy!
- The structure is different! - Yes!
- But you really calmed me down! - Yes!
- That's great! - I'm happy!
- Ikeda-chan, how old were you again?
- I turned 17! - She turned 17 and sang "Ihojin"!
- That's right! - Wow!
- She's like an adult! - Thank you for the food! Thank you!
- Thank you! - Thank you!
- Next up is Okada-chan! - Yes!
- Okada-chan, "Kimetsu no Yaiba" is an amazing song, isn't it? - That's right!
- I sang "Homura" in the third final round, - Yes!
- but I thought that if I didn't sing it in the full song, I wouldn't be able to use it in this song! - That's right!
- But, um... - What?
- Ever since I left the final round, I asked the producer to let me sing it in the full song if I made it to the finalists. - Oh!
- You really wanted to make it to the finals! - Wow!
- You've won three times in a row. - Yes, I've won three times in a row.
- The prize money award. - Yes, the prize money award.
- That's wonderful! - That's so cool!
- Thank you! - I'm happy for you.
- Each of you has your own color, and I think this is a new discovery for 48 Group.
- I want to ask you one thing, and I'm going to ask you again, but... - Yes?
- Has anything changed since you won?
- Has anything changed? - Yes.
- Well, I was always called "Ikeda-chan", but people around me called me "illegal person".
- That's it! - That's it! - That's it!
- They called me "wolf" and stuff like that. - "Wolf"?!
- You had a nickname, didn't you? - Yes, I did.
- Don't you have anything like, "Congratulations!" from your friends?
- No... - No!
- No!
- Everyone, say "congratulations" from the bottom of your hearts! One, two...
- Congratulations! - Congratulations! - Thank you!
- Thank you very much! - Again!
- Thank you very much!
- Well, just like that! Did you all have fun?
- Now, I'd like to move on to one of your favorite songs...
- Yano-chan! - Yes? - Please explain!
- Yes! From here on, the music for 48 Group will be...
- The music for 48 Group will be... - Wait, what?!
- Can you do it? Can you? - My tongue went all around.
- Okay, let's go. - Yes!
48 group's song with a medley!
Yay!
We did it!
Everyone, we can't say it out loud,
but I'd be happy if you could say it in your heart or with a penlight you have.
By the way, my penlight is blue and red.
Hey!
Wait!
Let's switch!
Hey, don't switch!
You don't have many bells!
Blue and red.
The other way around.
Please say how you feel to us with your penlights!
Let's do it, everyone!
48 Group Medley!
Here we go! Here's the song! Enjoy!
Chasing the bus that started running, I wanted to tell you
The blur in my heart disappeared and I saw something important
Even though you gave me such a simple answer, why did you hesitate and look away?
In order for me to be me, let's be honest with our impulses
I love you, I love you so much, I'll run with all my might
I love you, I love you forever, I'll shout as much as I can
I love you, I love you so much, I can't breathe
I can't hide it, I'm so angry
I love you, I love you so much, I'll shut up and stay like this
There's nothing to be embarrassed about
I love you, I love you so much, I love you so much
I'll spit out my emotions and be honest with you right now
The small shadow of an antique scarf, a silk embroidery, and my lips are moving.
What worries are you carrying in your heart now, and will you be blown away by the gentle breeze?
I want to protect you from a distance without you noticing.
Your gaze warms me up, the sun.
I'm not used to being a poet who talks about love.
I'm not used to decorating myself with words.
I'm not used to being a poet who talks about love.
My heart flutters, my heart flutters.
I hope it's a flower that can be swallowed up.
Thank you for coming!
I'm not here, on a summer sandy beach.
Who are you looking at the sea with?
As soon as the pressure goes down, I know why it's painful
If several typhoons had passed by, would my feelings for you disappear?
I'm not here, but as if shouting to you who's near me, the waves rush in
Who can you get that hot sun?
Even though I'm always by your side in front of your tent
Someone called me by my name and I turned around
But there was only wind blowing
There was no one there
My heart is full of boredom
It's all I can think of
When I was a kid
I felt lonely
Every time I grew up
I realized how lonely I was
From the bottom of my eyes
People say dreams
But you can hear it in the sky
As you wish
Your voice reached me
In the corner of the world
I know someone is watching me
Even if I know I'm overthinking
I wanted to believe in yesterday
Hello! I'm LGD48! Nice to meet you!
Why do seasons change without us realizing it?
The city's scenery and the scent of flowers change.
What did you do when you were healthy?
It's been a while.
You're like a pink sherbet.
The color of your skirt looks good on you.
Until we meet again in the morning with a gentle breeze and a cute person.
For whose sake in the world
am I still running?
Sometimes I think about it and I stop.
Where am I going with these painful feelings?
I don't know.
There must be some flat and easy path.
When you're about to give up,
turn the wind on your side and smile.
You only need to get closer to your dream
for the number of wheels you turned on the pedal course.
Your breath is out of order and you're sweating.
Keep going on the flat and easy path.
To live is to keep stepping on the pedal.
Everyone is suffering.
The answer comes out that it's for yourself.
No matter what path you take, life is only for the wheels that turn with real willpower.
Just get closer to your dream.
Take a deep breath. Sweat starts to overflow.
Keep going on the flat and easy path.
Go further and further ahead.
Yay!
Today, I'm really happy to stand on this stage with my friends who love singing like this.
There are many wonderful songs in 48 Group.
I want to sing them carefully in the future as well.
I hope you will be happy with our songs.
Are you watching the sunset?
I'm sure I'll go back and ask myself what kind of day it was.
There are good things and bad things.
I hope you have fun.
I don't want to worry about my family, friends, and people around me.
Don't force yourself to smile and lie to yourself.
Don't keep it to yourself.
Feel the wind of the season.
Notice the flowers on my feet.
If we can be so grateful for little encounters,
we can be happy.
Are you watching the sunset?
Will you teach me how to accept the present and move forward?
I'm sure I'll lose something someday.
What you can get is getting darker little by little.
Stars like a power line that draws the night.
Hey, until tomorrow comes, let's dream like you.
Are you looking at the setting sun?
Your back that passes the time is beautiful.
That's how today ends and everything resets.
The night will come. Yeah, she won't.
You're always alone.
Why don't you praise yourself?
Let me see you properly.
That you live like you.
Thank you for listening to "48 Groove Medley".
How did you like it?
Yura-chan, what's wrong?
You're crying.
I've been singing this song in STU's park.
That's right, you did it in my sun park.
At first, 16 people didn't choose me.
But somehow, this song...
Somehow, here...
I sang it all by myself.
Thank you very much.
That's right, you sang it all by yourself.
Thank you very much.
It was wonderful, wasn't it?
It was.
Let's hear other impressions.
Amiru-chan!
Yes!
How do you like it, starting with the calmness of your singing?
The key is different from the previous song, so I was really nervous, but I think I was able to bring the venue to the sea.
Thank you very much.
I was able to push away the waves.
I really want to apologize to Amiru-chan, but when you were singing in front of me, me and Suzuran- san, our seniors, really...
I'm sorry for disturbing you.
No, no, no!
I'm sorry.
No, no, no!
I was in a good mood and forgot about the next song.
I was like, "Why isn't there a song request?"
I was really sorry about that.
Please be strong, SK.
Kano-san!
From now on, Nojima-san will stand on top of us.
Kano-san.
Kano-san, from now on, please be kind to us.
I'm sorry!
I'm really sorry.
I understand.
Akiyoshi-chan was also singing solo.
She was cool.
Yes, I was singing solo, but I was able to sing a song called "Sora Mimi Rock".
Thank you very much.
That's great.
I was glad that I was able to bring "sora mimi" to the venue.
Huh?
I'm not sure if "sora mimi" was effective.
Hino-chan was also singing solo.
Yes, that's right.
It's been a year and nine months since NGT48 released a CD last July and performed that song.
That's great.
It was cute.
Hino-chan's good points are that you know how to dance, right?
Not at all.
I was able to hold back my breath because I was about to jump.
I think you're a mirror of an idol.
Oh, it's coming out.
I danced too hard.
It's embarrassing, so I'll turn it off.
It's cute.
I'll turn it off slowly.
All of the songs were good.
It was fun.
That's what I'm saying.
What about you, Nana-chan?
Can I say something?
We, S.T.F.O.T., sang "pedal", "wheels", and "kitabishito".
Yura-chan, you chose this song, right?
Yano-san and I happened to choose it.
Since Yura-chan is in second grade, I thought she would sing "bokura no shunkashuto".
I also wrote "bokura no shunkashuto".
I thought it was "pedal" and I was happy.
I was happy.
Yay.
Yay, yay, yay.
Great.
Now, we'd like to go back to the live show.
The next song is the last song.
Yura-chan, please play the song.
Yes, this song is a very important song that I sang at the end of the final tournament.
Please listen to it.
"Kamihikouki" on 365 days.
Looking up at the morning sky, I softly wished for today to be filled with a smile.
Sometimes it rains and my tears overflow, but I'll do my best tomorrow if it doesn't go as I want it to.
The dream I've always had is to be alone and do whatever I want to do as freely as I like.
Life is like a kamihikouki. It flies with a wish in its heart.
Even in the wind, as far as you can go, just keep moving forward.
Rather than competing for distance, what matters most is whether you've flown and where you've flown.
Ah, as your heart desires, 365 days.
Life is like a paper airplane, it flies with a wish on board.
Even in the wind, as much as you can, you just have to move forward.
Rather than competing with that distance, did you fly? Where did you fly?
That's what's most important.
Now, as your heart desires, 365 days.
Fly and go, fly and see.
Thank you very much!
[The day of the show]
Here you go.
- Good morning! - Good morning!
- Nice to meet you! - Nice to meet you!
I think it's a song with a wide range of tones and is difficult,
but when I was singing and rehearsing it,
I wrote it thinking that a new door might open for you.
Everyone at the venue and everyone watching on TV,
we have prepared a video for you.
What?
9 people?
It can't be...
It's Mr. Trotar!
It's too fast!
Mr. Trotar, are you making an original song?
It feels like you're not singing enough.
Since you're here, why don't you sing a song I wrote?
It's amazing!
Finalists, you will get your own original song!
Trotar
Why don't you all sing a song?
Actually, I was really anxious until I entered the studio, and when everyone sang it, I was like, "Wow, it's not good at all, what should I do?"
But when everyone first sang it, I felt like "This is almost done, they practiced very hard," and "Maybe the members like this song."
When I heard it, I often thought, "It's not an idol song."
I've never sung a song like this before, so I was scared at first whether we could complete it ourselves.
I thought that lyrics and so on would fit us very well, and I'm looking forward to singing with a lot of emotion.
That's right, it's better to match the timing of the breath.
Yeah, that's safer.
Isn't it good? Isn't it a proper singer group?
I think you'll all think you can sing.
Oh, that's how you sang.
If you make me feel like this, it's already your win.
Every word reaches the fans.
It starts with this song.
I wanted the fans to feel like something was coming up.
I wanted it to be a song that made me feel like it was coming up.
I'd like you to focus and listen carefully.
Before joining the singing competition,
I've been able to sympathize with my feelings a lot.
I hope I can enjoy it and be myself in the actual performance.
I'm not a favorite member of the akb group.
I think you can enjoy it because you think you're coming to the singer's unit live.
Actually, this song is...
You're singing about them and you're cheering for them.
It's also your song.
So I hope you can feel it a lot.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for watching.
The unstoppable beating of my heart
was drawing me to a faraway place.
The TV is turned off.
Suddenly, it's showtime.
We gather at the center stage.
Our smiles are bursting.
Memories of my childhood.
My love story I long for.
Our encounter is unforgettable.
This phrase is for you.
This melody is for me.
If we overlap, harmony
I'm drawing my feelings
I see, I'm sure I wanted to sing
It's dazzling and I want to get closer
I reached out my hands
The song of the beginning will always
Resound in my heart
Unending feelings anywhere
Our own future
I pour in and respond right
Finally the chance comes
Head for the center stage
I pour out my heart
A situation I can't do much about
A reaction I'm scared of
I can't go back anymore
I'm the protagonist
I'll say it over and over again
To where the light shines
Now, start running
I'm sure you wanted to laugh like this
Because emotions pile up and overflow
So that the song of the beginning
Will always echo in my heart
Unstoppable feelings, anywhere
Our own future
No matter how much you reach out and pursue it
There are things you can't reach with your own hands
But why can't you give up?
Shout it out now from the bottom of your heart
I hope the song of the beginning will reach the world forever
The never-ending days will never end
I won't let go of our hands anymore
It's our own story
The song of the beginning
Thank you very much.
The song of the beginning, composed only for us, how did you like it?
Yes, Yura-chan, how did you like it?
When I listened to this song, before I became a singer, I used to watch it at home on TV, and now that I can sing it, I think it's amazing.
Besides that, I think it's a song that conveys the feelings of the fans who support us.
Until today's performance, I practiced a lot with eight seniors and learned a lot from them.
But I think I was able to perform like this and did my best. Thank you very much.
Yes.
But everyone, how did you feel when you first heard this song?
It's really about us.
Kroffahan wrote it for us.
Cassie's emotional input was amazing.
That's right.
Really.
I think it's a very difficult song.
I also thought so.
We practiced a lot in rehearsal.
Yes.
That's why I was able to perform on stage like this today.
I was very nervous, but it was a sense of accomplishment.
I think it was the most pleasant.
This feeling now.
That's right.
The costumes we are wearing now were also made for this song.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
New costumes.
Very cute.
Yes, we received it.
Thank you very much.
And the songwriter and composer of this song, Kurosawa- san of Gosperars, has come to the venue.
Thank you very much.
She's here!
Kurosawa-san!
You're so cool!
Kurosawa-san, how was it?
Well...
I'm less nervous when I'm singing.
I'm really nervous when I'm singing my own song.
I thought it would be better if I sang it.
I want to hear it!
It was wonderful.
When I wrote this song,
I didn't want to write a song for an AKB group,
but for a unit of nine singers.
I'm sure those of you who watched today's finalist live will know,
but I wasn't wrong.
Watching the finalist live show,
I knew there were nine singers here.
Everyone watching,
it's hard to sing well.
It doesn't work right away.
No matter what you do, you practice over and over again,
you face yourself,
you get depressed, you think you can do it, you get excited,
you do it over and over again.
They've been doing this for a long time
and won this finalist live show.
So when I first said I would write a song,
I had already decided to make it their story, your story.
And the fact that you are singing your own stories
means that the stories of all of you who have gathered here today have begun.
So, all of you who have listened to the song "The Beginning Song"
please join in the story and support them even more.
Thank you for such a wonderful song.
Thank you.
I'm in awe.
Amazing.
So cool.
Really.
I'm in awe.
Thank you, Kurosawa-san.
Thank you.
Now, I have an announcement to make.
The song "The Beginning Song" which was performed for the first time today
will be released by KING RECORD-san on June 30th!
Wow!
Amazing!
Yes.
The nine of us will be in charge of it.
Yes.
I'm so happy!
Thank you!
As for the details, as soon as it's decided, it will be posted on KING RECORD-san's homepage.
So, everyone, please wait for a while!
Please do!
Please look forward to it!
I'm so happy!
Now, I'd like to ask everyone about their impressions of the song.
First of all, Suzuran-san, please go ahead.
Can I go first?
Can I?
Please do!
Yes!
I'm Yamauchi Suzuran!
Thank you so much for coming today!
Wow, Kurosawa-san's words really touched me and I was about to cry,
but I've been in this group for 12 years!
I'm not laughing! I'm trying my best!
Um, thank you.
I've been thinking about this for 12 years,
and AKB is a group that always tries new things.
Like Iketa-chan,
there are so many places in this group where you can get a chance to learn about yourself,
from events like this one.
So I really love AKB, a group that always tries new things!
Thank you.
Sometimes I want to talk about serious things like this,
but even though I'm the oldest here,
I want you all to support me.
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
I was able to sing with confidence because of you all.
Even though I'm the oldest here, I'm so sorry!
But it doesn't matter if you're the oldest or not,
you're all part of this group,
and you're all standing on this stage thinking, "I'm going to be famous!"
In that situation, in such a big group like this,
I want to thank you all for finding me!
Thank you!
Lastly, I have something I want to do with you all.
I think I'll be able to drink delicious beer today!
Cheers!
Thank you!
Do you always drink before you sing?
My heart was pounding!
Your heart was pounding?
I was nervous.
You were nervous?
Did you always drink before you sang?
Yes, I did.
It's not good for your throat.
We'll drink delicious beer today!
We'll drink a lot!
Thank you!
Now, Yano-chan, please.
Hi, I'm Yano Hanaka of stu48.
Once again, thank you very much for today!
Yes, well...
To welcome today...
It's not just for today.
The rehearsals for today...
And being able to stand here...
It means we've advanced to the finals...
And we've gained a chance...
And we're all standing here right now.
Really...
Through this project...
What I think is...
Really...
The more I sing...
The more I like singing...
That's what I think...
Yes, it's like...
The people of the band that are here...
And the members...
And everyone...
I love you so much...
It's like...
I love singing...
So I really love this project.
That's good.
You like it, don't you?
You like events, don't you?
But now...
In this world, in this situation...
We can't meet our fans...
In any industry...
We don't have much energy...
We can't get excited...
But singing...
In this way...
Even in this way...
It's really...
It has the power to make everyone happy...
I think we were able to prove it today.
So...
Everyone...
There may be a lot of painful things...
There may be situations that don't work out...
I want you to listen to the song and be happy.
If that's the song we sing...
I think I'd be happier...
The song we performed today...
I want you to listen to it a lot...
And I want you to support us all the time.
I can't put it into words...
But that's how I feel right now.
I had a lot of fun today.
Thank you very much!
Next, Mimura-chan, please.
I'm Mimura Hina of ngt48!
Thank you for coming today!
Thank you!
Yes, well, about this project called "Singer Power No. 1 Decision,"
it's been about three years since I joined,
so it's a project where I joined for the first, second, and third times and walked along with me, for me.
And, well, while I'm active as ngt48, this "Singer Power No. 1 Decision" event
has really been my pillar and my number one goal for me.
It's because of this project that I feel like I can grow and do my best next year as well.
Three years ago, I was a newbie researcher, but this year, Ikeda Yura-chan is participating as a junior.
As a junior?
Yes, as a junior.
And, well, last year I was the youngest, and I was really confused and didn't know anything,
but now, a year later, on this stage, I can feel that I've really grown.
It's like... how do I say this?
Right now, I can't really actively do anything,
and I don't really have any experience with TV exposure or live performances.
But only when I stand on this stage can I feel like, "Ah, I'm an idol, an artist."
So I'm really grateful for this project. I'm really grateful!
It's a project that allows me to be an idol, an artist, and a singer.
And, well, when I stood here today and thought about it,
if there's another chance like this, I want to stand on the finalists' stage one more time!
That's what I thought, and if there's another chance like this next year...
This time as well!
La... eh?
If there's another chance like this next year, I want to stand on this stage one more time!
I want to grow more and more!
I want to do my best!
From now on as well, I hope you'll continue to watch this wonderful event called "Singer Power No. 1 Finals"!
Thank you so much for today!
Next, Nao-san, if you please.
Yes.
Um, this time... Ah, I'm Furuhata Nao. Thank you so much!
I'm sorry.
Um, this time, I was happy to sing with members who can't sing together.
I was also happy to get to know each and every one of their personalities.
Like Honoka-chan, she said "I like you, Nao-san!"
But in interviews, she said "I like Kano-san!"
But I like Suzuran-san, too!
I learned that she's a bad girl!
No, it's true!
Everyone is amazing! They're so charming!
Everyone likes you, don't they?
No, no, no, no, no!
You're full of charm!
It's good! It's good!
Thank you for letting me know that!
Yes, I like you, Nao-san!
I like you, too!
Yes, "too", right?
"Too"!
"Too", thank you!
I like you, too!
Really, Yura-chan, you know...
I want you to play with my "haki-dako", you know...
There are things like that, you know...
I learned about each and every one of you...
Well...
I haven't been able to interact with everyone like this before...
I was happy...
I thought it was a valuable time...
And...
I was happy to have the opportunity to sing...
I had a great time with everyone...
I was really...
happy!
Thank you very much!
Next, Akiyo-san, please!
Yes! I'm HKT48's Akiyo Shuka!
Thank you for today!
Thank you!
It's been a while since we've gathered in a group of 48 and had a concert like this,
so I was really happy to stand with all of you finalists,
and I was happy to be able to perform with all of you, the best band members.
Through this project, I was able to face myself.
During the first final round, I sang HY's "366 Days",
but at that time, I thought I couldn't sing, and I lost confidence,
and I didn't want to perform again, or rather, I thought I couldn't perform again,
but through singing, I was able to face myself,
and I had a lot of fun in the process of being able to do things I couldn't do before.
Just like in the song "Closer" this time, I was able to think, "I see, I must have wanted to sing."
A lot of lyrics are linked together,
and I hope I can continue to deliver songs to you all in the future.
Thank you for today!
Next up is Yura-chan!
Yes, I'm Ikeda Yura! Thank you so much for today!
Yes.
Before I joined STU, I had always wanted to participate in this competition,
and when I joined STU and heard that it was my third time participating,
I really wanted to participate in the finalist live.
And then, now that I'm standing on this stage like this,
it really doesn't feel like a given.
It doesn't feel like a given, and for that I'm really grateful. Thank you very much.
Out of the nine of me, I'm the oldest and newest, and there are a lot of amazing people around me.
I was really worried about what people would think of me,
but you were so kind, Senpai, you were so kind.
I'm glad.
Were there any people you were scared of?
No, there weren't.
From now on, for me to be able to sing this song for the third time, it doesn't feel like a given.
It's all thanks to the collaboration of so many people.
Today's finalist live is coming to an end, but I hope I can keep singing this song and deliver it to you.
Thank you very much.
Yes, and I'm Nojima Kana. Thank you very much for today!
Thank you very much!
To be honest with you, I can now say that I'm good at singing.
Thanks to this project, I was able to sing because I'm an idol.
There are many people in the world who are better at singing than me.
To be able to play in a live band like this and sing in front of so many people and sing my own song is a very happy thing and I think it's not common.
Until now, I couldn't say I was good at singing and I hated myself for not being able to say it.
But now, I'm able to say in front of hundreds of people that I'm good at singing and I love myself for being able to say that.
I'm really grateful for this project that allowed me to be who I am today.
And me, and Yura-chan, and after that, new... how do you say it?
New stars will come out and the AKB48 singer- songwriter live final round will be like a tornado.
I want everyone to be able to fly more and more and be able to be active in various places like TV, live, and in various places.
That's what I think and it's my dream now to be able to prove that.
I want to continue singing in the future.
Thank you very much for today.
Please continue, Nana-san.
Yes, I'm Nana Okada. Thank you very much for today.
That's right, I've already sung in all three finalist live performances,
but I'm happy to sing my favorite song, and I'm happy that you come and listen to it.
I'm really happy to be able to stand on stage with all the members of the group.
Every time I stand on stage thinking, "Oh, it's a good stage,"
but I think it's really cool that people are working hard not only in singing but also in something else.
This time, I was looking at these nine, eight members other than me, and I thought, "Oh, all the members are wonderful."
The staff who support me and the band members who work really hard.
I thought, "There's no such thing as being blessed like this."
It's hard to be in the final, but I'm in the 10th place, and I don't like it, but I found the right answer in me that live performances are fun.
I hope you will continue to sing fun songs and be happy.
If I can grow myself, I'd like to do my best.
Thank you very much.
Lastly, Amiru-chan, please.
Yes, I'm Yamasaki Amiru.
Thank you very much for today.
I've been participating in this finalist live three times in a row,
and I've grown so much each and every time.
I'm really grateful for this project,
and I'm going to try to participate in as many of these projects as I can,
and you say I'm good at singing,
but I've never thought I was good at singing,
and I didn't know my strengths at all,
but I was able to participate in this singer power No. 1 final,
and I got 10th place, and I was chosen as a finalist,
and I found one of my strengths,
and I was able to make the most of my activities on TV48,
and I got a lot of work, and I'm really grateful for it.
And I really love this finalist live,
and I was able to sing with my wonderful friends who love music,
and I'm really grateful for it.
If it weren't for this project, I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to meet all of you here today.
And I'm so grateful for all the wonderful staff members and band members who play wonderful instruments for me.
I thought it was a really wonderful project.
And I was able to get a song this time, and it's a song for nine people, so I'm not really a selection member.
So I'm really grateful for this wonderful opportunity to meet so many people like this.
Thank you so much!
Well then, the next song is really the last song.
The last song is "Yura-chan", please.
Yes, I think this song is the last song of the finalist live.
Well then, please listen to it.
I was thinking about you again.
Looking across the mat
If I don't do something, before I know it
I get lost in the same scenery
You know it can't be helped.
I'm quietly looking at myself like that
The days get shorter when it's January
Just thinking "I want to meet you"
The sun rises and sets
If you sigh, your luck will run away
Someone once told me
This pain that piles up in my heart, I can't put it into words
I was thinking about you again I was thinking about you again
I'm sure everyone will be amazed I'm sure everyone will be amazed
If I can, I'm already
I want to forget anything but love, even just for a little while
love or anything other than love
something you can fall in love with
I need to find at least one thing
Loneliness chases me
In the blue-cooled eastern sky
Tears flowing from my eyes
I wonder if it'll disappear someday
I don't think about you anymore
I know it's impossible
That won't come true, I don't need that wish
I can't keep my head down
I'm thinking about you again
As I look out of the window
I'm not doing anything, but before I know it
I'm lost in the same scenery
You know it won't work, right?
I'm quietly looking at myself
I'm quietly looking at myself in the mirror
And now, I'd like to introduce you to the band members who played a wonderful performance for us!
Drums, Higeshiro Kenta!
Keyboards, Shirai Akito!
Chorus, Aihara Mikito!
And bandmaster and keyboardist, Sato Yuunai!
Everyone, please give her a big hand!
Finally, let's say goodbye together!
Thank you very much for today!
The fun keeps being updated, and the difficulty keeps improving, but I think it's amazing that my first finalist live and other things like this have joined me and entered me, and Ira-chan, who joined me and came in first, is standing on this stage again.
I was very happy that I was able to appear in the finalist live at home and that Nana-san, who was watching me at home, was also able to appear in the finalist live at home and I was happy and had fun. I love you, children.
I was personally very happy that I was able to sing a song that I could accept with my voice and my throat would not be crushed, so I would like to praise myself for this live.
After all, there are people who really like singing more than those who are good at singing or bad at singing, and I feel again that it is the nine people who have worked hard and stood up and taken chances to appear in this finalist live.
And this person also looked relieved.
Why did you make a song like this while I was gone?
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you.
I did a live show that exceeded the image of AKB that I had thought of.
I felt like it was a group of singers.
The song I made is not a song that is easy to sing at all.
I think it's a song that's harder to sing.
You raised me up and gave me a performance in the best condition during the actual performance.
I'm just happy.
I'm like, "I did it!"
I'm really glad about that.
I'm glad I didn't end up alone.
Thank you.
"Hajimari no Uta" is a song that we worked hard on and grasped ourselves.
After all...
I really feel that special feeling.
It's not an impression like "idols can sing better than we thought"
I want you to see us as one of the artists.
On the contrary, when you hear this song for the first time and wonder who is singing it,
"Oh, it's a girl called S.T.U.," "Oh, it's another group," or "Let's take a look at S.T.U.'s song,"
and become a fan of S.T.U. and come to the live show,
I want you to know S.T.U. from this song,
so I want you to sing it on a TV show, play it on the radio, and do your best to push it.
It's a song that contains what we think every day and what we want to tell you,
so I hope it will reach you, and I hope you will like us because of this song.
"Beginning Song" is a song that I think will appeal to many people,
and I think it's a song that will cheer you up and make you think that music is wonderful,
so please listen to it a lot.
The real beginning starts here.
In April, recording was carried out for the release of the single.
This time, I want to aim for a response that is AKB and is not AKB,
so I think it will take a little longer than usual recording, overdubbing, and singing,
but I think it will be a fun experience, so let's enjoy it.
Let's get started!
The song of the beginning is running now forever.
It's different from usual recording.
We don't do it alone.
Four of us do it.
We usually sing a song with 16 people.
We don't do it one by one.
We usually record it quickly and finish it quickly.
But this time, we recorded it again and again until our best came out.
We got instructions to do it more precisely.
Each of these nine people is an artist.
Kurosawa-san faced the members head-on and asked for high quality.
I'll do it roughly.
I want you to press "sa" more.
"mo" is too small.
Don't say "memo".
If you don't say "it's mo", you can say "it's memo" more comfortably.
This song is pointed out by everyone, so don't worry about it.
Let's make it the best song.
Let's deliver it to many people.
With nine people's voice and heart.
Without any compromise, the recording continued.
And...
Thank you very much!
I hope today will be a good memory for you.
Stop it.
As you said, what I'm pointing out today is not that you can't sing because you can't do it.
This song has this singing style, so you can sing like this.
I don't think anyone who heard this will guess the name of the group.
Mr. Kurosawa, who has been at the top of the music scene for more than 25 years.
Why did you pour your passion into them so far?
What is it? I'm doing my best, but it doesn't work so well.
I thought it was very nostalgic.
Until we debuted...
I think everyone thinks they're the best singers in the world until they debut.
After you debut, you know the reality.
Some people know the reality and become useless.
I think there are people who are eager to become better singers.
People who appear in AKB's singing ability are passionate about singing.
I think we need to support them.
If everyone's singing skills are updated every year and there are more songs to sing and there are more ways to show off, I want to support you.
My heart was pounding as I dreamed of going far ahead.
The TV that's left on, the showtime that suddenly begins
Gathering on the center stage, bursting smiles
Memories of my childhood, a love story I longed for, an encounter that I'll never forget Osanai goro no memory akogare no love story
This phrase to you This melody to me Kono phrase to you Kono melody to me
Kasanareba hagori omoiegaitiru
Yeah, I definitely wanted to sing Souka watashi kitto utaitakatta nda
It was so bright that I wanted to take my time, so I stretched out my arms.
May the song of the beginning resound in my heart forever.
Our never-ending feelings are endless, our own future.
Sponsored lights are pouring down, and the next chance has arrived.
Heading to center stage, big and serious Heading to center stage, big and serious
The situation is too intense, the reaction is scary, there's no turning back now.
The protagonist repeats and tells me over and over again, "Run now, towards the shining light. "
I'm sure I wanted to laugh after all of this.
My feelings pile up and overflow.
So that the song of the beginning will always resonate in my heart.
I can't stop it.
Our own future.
No matter how much I reach out and try to chase it out,
There's something I can't reach out for.
Yet why can't I give up?
My heart... kokoro ga... My heart...
The song of the beginning will always reach the world
owaranai hibi wa dokomademo The never-ending days will go on forever
Only between us, we won't talk anymore
Our own story watashitachi dake no story Our own story
Resound, song of the beginning hibike hajimari no uta Resound, song of the beginning
A new story...
