AISubs v3.4
Let's begin the 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No.1 Deciding Round!
Broadcasted live from TBS Key Studios!
Once again, I'm your host, Yusuke Waga. Thank you for joining us!
- Thank you. And... - Yes, I'm your host as well.
I'm your TBS announcer, Maine Sasaki. Thank you for joining us.
Thank you for joining us.
Now, for our fourth competition, we'll see who has the most charming singing voice in the AKB48 group.
There are 92 candidates this time.
Out of them, 20 will advance to the finals.
The qualifying round will be held today and tomorrow for two days.
Mr. Waga, could you tell us about this fourth competition?
Well, first of all, Ms. Ikeda.
Will she win twice in a row?
- Ms. Ikeda, catch it! It's that one, right? - Yes.
Ms. Ikeda, who won all four competitions, has appeared like a comet.
She's a graduate student, but she's already a popular student.
Will she win twice in a row?
Also, we haven't seen Ms. Akiyoshi or Ms. Suzuran, have we?
I mean, Ms. Luna Diamonds.
I mean, what are we going to do?
It might be a pretty chaotic competition.
- Also, we haven't seen Ms. Kano Ujima either. - That's right.
Anyway, Ms. Yuiri Murayama has appeared like a comet for the second day.
Will you catch her tomorrow, Ms. Yuiri Murayama?
- What is it? 92? Ah, I see. Thank you very much. - Thank you.
If you catch her for a little while, Mr. Yudai will properly dodge you.
- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
Yes, with that said...
Now, let's introduce the judges who will be in charge of judging this time!
First of all, Momoiro Clover and Little Green Monster will compose the song.
In addition, Gosperars' Kaoru Kurosawa and Nona Diamonds' "Hajimari no Uta" will be co-composed by composer and music producer Yuki Ohta.
Thank you for your hard work!
It's my first time as a judge, and it's a live broadcast, so I'm pretty nervous.
I think the members are performing with more tension, so I will do my best to judge them.
Thank you for your hard work!
Next, Yumi Matsutoya and Kinki Kids will tour and sing the chorus.
In addition, Ami, a singer-songwriter who teaches singing to Nogizaka46 and Fischers, will be our guest.
Thank you for your hard work!
I've heard that it's a battle to determine a pure singing ability.
I hope I can find a part of her that I like and a part of her that I like.
Thank you for your hard work!
Finally, Yudai Sato, a keyboardist who has been in charge of qualifying judging since the first tournament and bandmaster at the final tournament and finalist live.
Thank you for your hard work!
It's my fourth time.
Are you the most nervous?
Even though it's my fourth time.
I do get nervous a few times, this atmosphere.
That's right.
But every year, every year, a new drama is born.
I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen this year.
Yes, thank you.
Now, Sasaki Anna will give you the rules for this tournament's tournament judging.
From now on, judges will watch each group's virtual VTR and judge them.
Today's live broadcast has 48 members of SKE48, NMB48, NGT48, and STU48.
Tomorrow's live broadcast will have 44 members of AKB48 and HKT48.
Judges will be judged with a total of 300 points out of 100 points out of 100 points.
Based on this score, 20 members will be promoted in today's live broadcast and 20 members will be promoted in tomorrow's live broadcast.
After two days of preliminary judging, 15 members will be promoted to the final tournament held at Maihama Amphitheatre on January 12th.
The remaining five members will consult with the judges as a panel of judges and decide.
Yes, and this year, we are also planning to hold a finalist live broadcast with a full band for the members who remained in the best eight in the final tournament.
With that said, the judging will begin soon, Mr. Ota.
Yes.
Do you have any points for judging?
Points for judging...
Well, I think there are various aspects of singing skills, but since I am also a composer myself,
I hope I can pay attention to how I interpret and express the song in my own way.
Thank you.
How about you, Ms. Sawami?
I hope I can see it from the same singer's perspective.
Yes.
As I said earlier, I hope I can judge you based on your enthusiasm and other things like that.
How about you, Mr. Yudai?
Well, it's not much in common with what you two said.
Also, based on what I've seen so far...
There are kids who watch it every year, but...
I'd like to reset and try again this time with a new feeling.
Yes.
Well, it may be difficult for you for the fourth time.
Thank you for your kind judgment.
Now, let's move on to the under-judgment.
First of all, it will be the judging of ngt48 11 people.
Viewers, please leave your impressions and opinions of the live broadcast...
#akb48 singer power No. 1 decision line and tweet.
Thank you.
Now, let's move on to the under-judgment of ngt48.
Please.
Hi, I'm Meina Nishigata of ngt48. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
Get in the spring-colored train and take me to your ears.
I'll gently hug your cigarette-smelling shirt.
I don't know why, but we've known each other for half a year.
But you don't hold my hand.
I will follow you.
I want to follow you.
I will follow you.
I'm a little weak-minded, but you're a wonderful person.
Let me kiss you on the red lips that bloomed in my heart.
I will follow you more than anyone else I've met so far.
I like the way you live.
I can't go home like this.
I can't go home.
The day spring came to my heart was a red sweet pea.
Thank you very much.
I'm Nanako Nishimura of NGT48. Thank you for having me.
The hill road continues to the open sky.
The back of me becomes smaller.
Without being able to find gentle words,
I continued to wave my cold hand.
Someday we will all set off,
walking our own paths.
Don't give up on your dream.
I like your passionate eyes.
So you won't lose, so you won't regret,
Shine like you do.
Don't give up on your dream.
I believe you are far away.
Thank you very much!
I'm NGT48's Yamada Noe.
Nice to meet you!
We've always been together, walking down the same path.
We part ways and walk our own paths.
Holding my heart full of loneliness,
I look up at the sky and feel like I'm about to cry,
and I think of you.
Even on nights without you,
I don't feel like crying anymore.
It's because you're doing your best.
It's because you're getting stronger.
I'm sure you can see it too.
This beautiful crescent moon.
It's because we're connected.
It's because we love each other.
I reached out to the crescent moon.
My feelings reach you.
Thank you very much!
I'm NGT48's Ando Chikana.
Nice to meet you!
Right now, I look up at the southern star and vow
No matter what happens, I'll walk forward with a smile on my face
While shedding tears of sadness
I live only to offer wishes to the stars and prayers to the moon
That's how I've lived my life
But now, my love for you is my own
Right now, my love for you is my own
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Ogoe Haruka.
Thank you for having me.
I push up the sky and reach out my hand for you in May.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you buds and garden flowers.
I hope your faintly colored and cute endless dream will come to an end.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Someday, we'll join our bodies and hope the endless waves will stop for good.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much!
I'm Yuu Tominaga of ngt48. Nice to meet you!
Maybe you don't have to be me
We were both too relaxed
When we realized it, we always fought
I'm sorry
I've always wanted to talk to you
I'm sure we won't meet
In a room where only the two of us are
You were the only one talking
If we ever meet somewhere
Will you smile for me today?
I can't tell you why
But I don't like crying after you fall asleep
Your voice, your face, your awkwardness
I hate it all
Days with you like a dry flower
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure
Makes me mad
Red and yellow are in my heart
I always call your name
I love you and I miss you again
Your voice and your face
Your clumsy behavior
Everything, everything
I hate you
I'll give you a flower that hasn't withered yet
Always, always, always, always
Hold it in your arms
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Furusawa Mano. Nice to meet you.
A whirlpool of anxiety hidden in your eyes
Which path should you take in front of you?
The days you were swept away by others
Say goodbye to yourself
I believe myself
By believing in myself, I feel like everything will start
Oh, I believe myself
The warm light is not wrong
Let's walk
I believe myself
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Furutate Aoi. Nice to meet you.
Your story, which is about to begin, will go on for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
Inside your dazzling smile, I hear a sad sound.
When we're together and when we have free time, you're so lovely.
When we hold hands, we feel warm. When we hate each other, we feel lonely.
Each one of them will be you. The road will go on.
Your story, which is about to begin, will go on for a long time.
When a rainbow-colored rain falls, the sky rises.
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Mashimo Kaho. Nice to meet you!
How are you?
Did you meet someone important?
Will your dream come true someday?
At the end of this road
Do you remember?
The swaying wheat steps
To that sunset, the horizon
I kept searching for the sky to continue
While struggling to draw tomorrow
Now into my dream
I gently, gently embrace
The shapeless radiance
And move forward
Thank you very much!
I'm Mimura Hino of NGT48.
Nice to meet you!
You know, before I realized it, love has different shapes.
If it had already settled in my heart,
I'm sure I'd know more about you than I do today.
If it hadn't been for you, I'm sure I'd have created a gap.
You know, I love you.
Every time you spread in my heart,
love overflows and tears fall.
Forever and ever, I love you.
Whenever you spread in my heart,
love overflows and tears fall.
Among all the stars in the sky,
you're the only one in my heart.
Forever and ever, I love you.
I love you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I'm NGT48's Hinata Moraeshi.
Nice to meet you!
I always wanted to be with you
I always wanted to smile next to you
Even though seasons change again
My heart stays still
On the right side of you
I thought I got used to it
But why do I cry so much?
If my feelings don't come true
I'll just forget you
I want you
Even now, I remember you
Even the scenery we saw together, so once again
Ah, I woke up from a dream
The black jacket and my back
Even the lie that I can't see anyone anymore, so once again
Like the stars returning to the forest
Even small gestures that disappear naturally
Even me, who can only see you forever
Thank you very much!
So far, we have interviewed 11 people of the NGT48 vocal judges.
Mr. Ota, how was it?
Well, if you continue to look at the 11 people, you can clearly see their individuality and characteristics.
As for me, Mr. Mimura seemed to be caught from his fingertips.
Also, his falsetto has evolved quite a bit and his rhythm is good.
However, the pitch of "corn bread" was a little weak, so I felt it was a bit of a shame.
Thank you very much.
How about you, Ms. Ami?
Well...
I'll just look at it.
I wrote it in a hurry and hit it, so I can't read it anymore.
I was very curious about Mr. Yamada's voice.
What do you think?
That's Ms. Ami's opinion!
It's amazing!
It's like... how do you say it?
It's like he's taken the song inside and digested it and put it out.
Is it digested and put out?
It sounded like it was digested and put out.
I was a little surprised, too.
Everyone has different personalities.
It's interesting.
Is there anyone else you're curious about?
Someone I'm curious about...
Furutate-san?
Yes, yes.
She's really cute.
She's cute, but her pitch is really good.
Even though she has a voice that pops out like "ping",
sometimes she can make it pop out even in mixed voices.
It's not just about being cute.
Thank you very much.
Now, Yudai-san, what do you think?
When I first saw the group as a whole,
I felt that everyone was singing in a posture
where they were trying to deliver the words properly.
I guess you could say they were singing politely.
To be honest, I felt good listening to all of them.
I felt like my feelings for them were being conveyed.
Someone I'm curious about is me and Chikana-san.
Your voice is very clear and honest.
Even though you made a vibrato sound,
you haven't been able to make it pop out yet.
But when you made the "bang" sound, you made it pop out.
If you studied a little more about this
and tried various singing styles,
I think you'd be able to convey your feelings better.
I really like your voice.
Thank you very much.
How about you, Wada-san?
When I said "and Chikana-san",
I was looking at you, but before you sang, you were bowing to the pianist.
I like how you've grown up.
I like your transparency.
Also, Ogoe-san's speech is wonderful, isn't it?
Every word of it is beautiful.
I thought your nasal swimsuit had a beautiful singing voice.
You've sung it three times, "Oshikumo".
Let's see how you did in the fourth time.
Now, let's take a look at some of the comments from viewers on Twitter.
Here is the first comment.
I thought Mimura-san was amazing in last year's qualifier. After all, it's amazing! I can feel it spreading into the space.
Yes, that's right. But Ami-san, how about you, Mimura- san? How was it?
I thought she knew her voice well.
She can sing it well and she can sing it high, but I also liked her voice when she was singing with her hands down.
Oh, thank you.
Let's move on to the next comment.
Hino-chan, you're amazing from the start! Good singers know songs they can sing.
Yes, this is also from Mimura-san, isn't it, Yudai-san?
I guess it's like that for both the fourth and third times.
And she's challenging herself with songs that are quite challenging.
I don't know if it's the song itself that makes it difficult for her to sing, or if it's the song itself that makes it difficult for her to sing,
but I think there's a lot of technology involved in singing this song.
- It's difficult, but she's challenging herself. - No, I think it's difficult.
But it was conveyed that she was expressing it through her own filter.
Okay, let's move on to the next comment. Here it is.
Why did you choose this song?
If you ask me why I chose this song,
it's because my feelings for the NGT members often linked with lyrics.
It's been seven years since the group was formed, and although there are many members growing up these days,
I feel strongly that I want to support everyone's dreams.
I...
I have the most emotions...
I can't speak at 140 degrees.
Yes, I'm overflowing with emotions.
This is Nanako Nishimura.
Yes, it was her own dream.
Mr. Ohta, how was it for you, Ms. Nanako Nishimura?
Well, her facial expressions are very rich and wonderful.
She has a straight voice and her low voice is also very rich and wonderful.
Yes, thank you.
If you tweet about it, we will receive comments like this.
We look forward to your comments.
Now, I would like to return to singing and dancing.
The following is the singing and dancing of 10 people of ske48.
Here you go!
I'm Yashino Kitagawa of ske48. Nice to meet you!
These feelings I gathered up until the last second
The days that have piled up
Will not betray you
The dazzling sunshine turns into a sunset
Illuminating a youthful time that will never come again
I chase 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
Being with you like that
I'm proud of it
I'm always proud of it
Thank you very much!
I'm SKE48's Rika Tsuzuki.
Thank you for having me!
I've always wanted to talk to you.
I'm sure we don't match.
In a room where there's only the two of us,
you were the only one talking.
If we meet somewhere one day,
will you laugh at what happened today?
I can't tell you why,
but I don't want you to cry after you fall asleep.
Your voice, your face, your awkwardness,
I don't hate it all.
The days I spend with you, like a dried flower,
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure they'll fade away.
Red and blue are in my heart.
I'll always call out your name.
My feelings of love smell of you again.
Your face and awkwardness, I hate them all.
I'll give you a flower that hasn't withered yet.
Always, always, always, always, hold it in your arms.
Thank you very much!
I'm SKE48's Nakasu Kamie.
Nice to meet you!
Look at your feet, this is the path you will walk.
Look ahead, that is you.
My mother gave me a lot of kindness and love.
I repeated it again and again.
At that time, I was still young and didn't know what it meant.
I held my father's hand and walked with him.
Sometimes I didn't like that kindness.
I couldn't be honest with my mother.
Look at my feet.
This is the path you walk on.
Look ahead.
Thank you very much!
I'm SKE48's Okamoto Ayaka. Nice to meet you!
Push up the sky and reach out your hand for May.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear a swimsuit.
I'll give you a bud, a garden leaf and a swimsuit.
I hope your cute light blue dream will come to an end.
I hope you and your love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day come to an end.
I hope endless waves will stop for good.
I hope you and your love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48's Kanashima Miharu. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
That's what I decided.
This song in my pocket
I want you to listen to it.
I gently raised the volume
and checked it out.
Oh, goodbye days
Now I feel like I'm changing
from yesterday.
That's right.
I don't look good.
Because kindness is by my side.
La la la la la with you
I don't want to feel sad, but you'll come to me, won't you?
At that time, with a smile, yeah "Hello, my friend"
I wish I could say it
When we hum the same song, stay by my side
I wish we could meet with kindness that's not cool
then goodbye there
Thank you very much!
I'm SKE48's Furuhata Nao. Nice to meet you!
In the passing of time, I met you.
It's strange, isn't it?
I didn't know the miracle I wished for would be so close to me.
I want to see you as I wish.
Only the time we can't meet is passing.
I slip through the door and remember it again.
You and that person laugh together.
My beloved one, don't make me sad.
There are nights when I'm tired of crying and sleeping.
Don't look at the past and only look at me.
You're everything. You're everything.
Stronger than you think.
If it's a kind lie, I don't want it.
What I want is you.
I'm SKE48's Saito Makiko. Thank you for having me.
In the future you drew, I'm not there, and that era isn't there either.
The two of us, who still had a little bit of scars, were looking for a continuation of our dream.
Ah, I thought it would color as I wanted it to.
I couldn't find an answer.
Even so, this world continues to spin.
The summer you gave me, I won't forget that miracle.
Hiding those overflowing feelings in that evening,
So fine, so fine, so fine, I noticed it.
In the summer you were in, I couldn't put these feelings into words.
Why are our two hearts separating?
So fine, so fine, so fine, I can't reach you.
Thank you very much.
I'm SKE48's Sato Kaho.
Nice to meet you.
The hair in my eyes and the fingers I scratched apart
My lonely back seems to be about to break
While making the unreliable sun bleed
I was staring at your smiling profile
Before I knew it, all of it came into my sight
Why did I notice the pain in my heart?
I'm looking for you
In the depths of my hidden eyes
So that no one can see me
While wandering without a place to go
The world I see with you
Has always been beautiful
In the sky...
A little star remains...
Thank you very much.
I'm Miki Ito of ska48. Thank you for your support.
Look at where you stand. This is the path you will walk on.
Look ahead. That is your future.
Mother gave me a lot of kindness.
I repeated that time again and again, when I was still young and didn't know what it meant.
You held my hand and walked with me.
Sometimes I didn't like that kindness, and I couldn't be honest with you.
Look, look at your feet. This is the path you will walk.
Look, look ahead. That is your future.
Thank you very much.
SKE48, I'm Kanon Sawada. Nice to meet you.
What do you want to do?
What is the meaning of life?
Even if ideal reality turns into one-click speed of light
I can't be Adam and Eve, who are far away from the arrival of earth
If I could gently touch and heal the wounds that followed me where I was born
Overflowing feelings of love illuminate you and become light
Even if I'm not there in the future you picture
Now I will gently hug you
Even if it's fate, I want to draw you closer and continue to shine
Even if it's a miracle, I believed I could make it happen
That's what I believed
Thank you very much!
Now, "escape fortune" and 10 singing judges have ended.
Ami-san, how was it?
Wow!
I wonder what it means.
But "escape fortune" was good.
She sang until 5th place without losing focus,
so I felt like she was taking me into the song without making me forget what I was listening to.
Of course, the pitch was also very good.
And she was also good at using the microphone.
I didn't know you were this good at judging.
I tried, but...
Thank you.
Yudai-san.
Furuhata-san is good.
She's good, isn't she?
Her way of using the microphone changes depending on how you bring it closer to you.
She brings her voice out while thinking about that,
and by doing that, it becomes three-dimensional.
It creates a sense of distance and space.
Hmm...
I want to play the piano.
Wow!
Danmasu wants to be in a band!
I do have an image of "escape fortune",
but I realized again that she has a wide variety of expressions.
Thank you.
Ohta-san.
Yes, I'm actually Furuhata-san, too.
I'm good at using the microphone.
Oh...
Yes.
And there's a researcher, Miki Ito.
I really like her.
She's straightforward and pure.
Her vocabulary is very polite.
She also has a good voice.
Also, her voice fits the song very well.
She was also very good at choosing songs.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
How about you, Waga-san?
Well, today...
Earlier, when Yui Murayama-chan was in the studio for the first time,
I thought that Saito Makko-san was going to be the first person to come out.
How was it?
It was unexpected, wasn't it?
I thought she was going to be the type of person who's going to go all out.
She was calm, wasn't she?
Yes. How about you?
She was calm and had a lot of expression, which was good.
Yes.
This is her first appearance since the fourth time,
so I wondered why she hadn't come out until now.
That's what I thought.
Thank you very much.
Yes.
Let's take a look at some of the comments from viewers on Twitter.
Yes.
Are there any on Twitter?
Here's the first question.
It's a comment.
I've always liked Suzuki-san's songs.
I think she deserves more praise.
That's a comment.
Of course, it's a full-text Wagga.
It's quite common, but this is her first appearance.
How about you, Ami-san?
I thought it was interesting.
There are times when I get shaky or unstable,
but when I go past a certain point, I feel like I'm getting out of it.
I thought it would be interesting if I could train that and evolve further.
Thank you very much.
Yes.
Let's move on to the next comment.
Here it is.
The impact of Hino-chan and Nao-san's challenges so far is amazing.
That's what it means.
Yes, yes.
Well, it's Furuwata-san.
Everything.
Yes.
Well...
All three of you are Furuwata-san.
Yes.
Well...
Is there anything you compare with the same song, Furuwata-san?
Yes.
Is there anything like that?
That's right.
Well, depending on how you sing,
the way you express yourself changes.
Even if it's the same song, it sounds like a completely different song, doesn't it?
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Let's move on.
Yes.
As expected of Kaho Sato.
Both the song and the official song are stable.
Kaho Sato-san.
Yes.
Even if they are very similar.
Yes.
Well...
Yudai-san.
Yes.
How about Kaho Sato-chan?
Yes.
Of course, I have an impression of her appearance,
but she sings carefully.
In the second half of the song, I felt like it was a little wasteful.
But...
How can I say it?
I could hear Japanese.
I felt like that.
I wanted to listen to more songs like this.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Yes.
Well, let's go back to the singer evaluation.
Next is the singer evaluation of 8 people of nmb48.
Here you are.
Thank you for watching.
I'm katou yuka of nmb48. Nice to meet you.
Maybe it's okay if it's not me
We had no time to spare
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
In a room where it's only the two of us
You were the only one talking
If we ever meet again somewhere
Will you smile for me today?
I can't even tell you why
But I don't want you to cry after you fall asleep
Your voice, your face, and how clumsy you are
Aren't they all beautiful?
Just like dried flowers
The days I spent with you will surely, surely, surely, surely
Fade away
Red and blue are in my heart
I'll always call your name
The feeling of love smells again
Your voice, your face, your awkwardness
Everything, everything, I hate it all
Even my still undying skin, I'll dye it with you
Forever, forever, forever, forever
Hold it in your arms
Thank you very much!
I'm Manabe Anji of nmb48. Nice to meet you!
The voice of the stars fading into the night sky,
and the scarlet moon shining in the dawn.
Why does the sea we swam in
change color in an instant?
I don't want to fall asleep like this.
I still want to feel you.
If you feel lonely,
you can't even stay by my side,
but you know the pain of losing.
I pray that you can grasp other love.
When you want to cry or when you're in pain,
remember me and I'll be fine.
A place where we can be together, on a distant summer day,
warmth, happiness in life, everything in my heart.
Thank you very much!
I'm Yamasaki Amiru of nmb48. Nice to meet you!
Anata no koe de hogurete yuku
"Wasuretakunai" to kokoro ga yuu
Omoide bakka fuete yuku
Zutto soba ni itai
Is "Nakimushi" ok?

At that time, with a smile
Yeah, "Hello my friend"
I wish I could say it
When we hum the same song
Stay by my side, I wish
I'm glad I could meet
Your unkindness
La la la la goodbye day
I'm Orisaka Koharu of NMB48. Nice to meet you!
I'm Orisaka Koharu of NMB48.
Stretching shadows side by side on the sidewalk,
I'm walking with you in the twilight.
If I could hold your hand and stay by your side forever,
I feel like crying.
The wind is getting colder, and I smell of winter.
It's about time I get closer to you in this city.
The season is coming.
We're looking at the first snow flowers of this year.
Happiness is overflowing.
I'm not being sweet or weak.
I just want to stay with you forever.
I honestly think so.
Snow flowers are falling in this city.
I'm drawing memories in our hearts.
I want to stay with you forever.
Thank you very much.
I'm Kuroda Fuwa of NMB48. Nice to meet you!
Crossing the bridge and looking at the setting sun, you said you loved it
You said you wanted to live in a beautiful place
Shaking on the train, you came to this city to see me
Even now, I can't forget those days and I'm still alive
Even now, I still pray for you when I go to the shrine
If one of my wishes comes true, I want to go back to those days
This city where you said you loved it, it's getting dark again today
A wide sky and mountains in the distance, the city we walked together
A city where the sunset is beautiful
Thank you very much!
I'm Satsuki Aika of NMB48. Nice to meet you!
Hey, I wonder what you, who is reading this letter, are up to?
I'm fifteen years old, and I have a seed of worries that I can't tell anyone about.
If it's a letter I'm writing for myself in the future, I'm sure I can open it honestly.
I'm about to lose, I'm about to cry, and I'm about to disappear.
Whose words should I believe and walk on?
My one and only heart has been broken many times.
I'm living in pain now, I'm living in pain now.
Thank you very much!
I'm Nnb48 Hayaka Ayuna.
Nice to meet you!
How are you?
Did you meet someone important?
Will your dream come true someday?
At the end of this road
Do you remember?
The swaying wheat leaves on that evening
I kept searching for a horizon-continuing sky
While struggling to picture tomorrow
Now, in my dream
I gently, gently embrace
The shapeless radiance
As I move forward
Thank you very much!
Now, the singing evaluation of 8 people of nmb48 has ended.
So, Mr. Yudai, how was it?
Yes, well, I was surprised at the average singing skills of everyone in nmb48.
But, you know, Mr. Amizu, it's like watching her live performance.
I don't know if it's originality or something like that, but I listen to her singing every year.
This year, she was originally very good at singing,
but I felt like I saw a little lower part in the middle range and a part in the middle where the voice came out.
So when I saw today's performance, I thought, "Oh, I came to see Amir's live performance."
No, I came to judge.
That's right, but I wanted to make it look like I was watching an artist perform live.
So you went and saw it.
Mr. Ohta, how was it?
That's right. There were a lot of NMB researchers this time.
And each of them had their own personality and many of them were cool.
Mr. E. Xion had a very bionga-rich voice and the chorus was very powerful and cool.
However, it may be that he is a researcher, but his eyes were a little unstable.
I thought it was a little unfortunate.
Eyes are good!
It's pretty important.
It's a singing ability, isn't it?
It's pretty important.
It's like where you're looking.
I think it's a little out of place.
That's right. It may be out of place.
Yes, thank you.
Ms. Amir.
Yes, I'm curious about Mr. Amir.
From the beginning of the first line, the voice and expression of the song are drawn in.
And it says "mochiuta" here.
It's that feeling, isn't it?
I feel like I'm at a live show.
In the same way, Mr. E. and Mr. Xion also say "ume".
If it was like that, I wouldn't have written it either.
Mr. E. and Mr. Xion's singing style and fists were also very nice.
And when you want to hear it here, you can hear it clearly.
Everyone at NMB was amazing.
There were a lot of researchers who wanted to teach you how to sing.
I want to teach you.
It's a training.
Everyone is good.
Hayakawa-san got rusty, but that means he didn't run away to the falsetto and gave it all out, so it's a good impression.
I see. I think there are many differences.
Nice to meet you, too. It felt good to sing a new song.
Nice to meet you, too, Shion-san.
It says 7.5 in the material.
I thought there had been something like 7.5 since Mariko Shinoda.
What does it mean?
It means it's the newest song, doesn't it?
Shion-san's singing voice is wonderful.
I want to know why it's called "NMB".
Let's take a look at Twitter, too.
Here's my first impression.
Are you there?
Yes. "Eh, Nfb, your level is too high, isn't it? I'm scared!"
That's right.
Ah, from Gohoney, right?
Huh? Ah, that's right, from Amiru-chan.
From Yamase-chan and Gohoney.
Ah, from Amiru-chan.
I see, I didn't know about it myself, and you were also threatened by a researcher.
The second time, I guess? Was it the first time?
Ah, research... There's a researcher like a monster in Nfb!
You became Amiru-chan, and now you're a regular member, right?
Yes.
That researcher was also wonderful.
Yes.
Yudai-san.
Yes.
Is there anyone you're interested in?
Um, that researcher, Kuroda Fuwa-san?
Yes.
Um, you know, she sang "Watarasebashi", and it reminded me of Moritaka-san.
I think her voice and the song's matching is really good.
It's very transparent.
Um...
It's a story that made me want to listen to more songs like this.
Also, Kato Yuka-san.
It's kind of mysterious, right?
Like...
The pitch is all constant, and it goes like "bwaaah", and if you look at it with a waveform, it's like "is it like this?"
I thought this unshakable pitch should be unique.
I thought there might be more songs that go well with it.
It's not like this song doesn't go well with it or anything like that.
I really thought there might be songs that go well with it.
When I sang this song, I really felt like there might be songs that go well with it.
I see.
Yes.
Thank you.
Yes.
Shall we listen to the next song?
Yes.
Here we go.
That's embarrassing. How was it?
This is a tweet from Mr. E.
Oh, it's from Mr. E. Sion.
That's embarrassing.
This is... I don't know.
I've only heard of Hiragana, right?
I don't think you've heard of Hiragana.
I don't know. It's a mystery.
But you were praised a lot.
Yes.
How was it, Mr. Ota?
Yes. As I said earlier, you were cool.
Even your falsetto was perfect.
You were powerful and very good.
Your English seems to be good.
What do you think?
Your English seems to be good.
It's a little...
I think it's unfair.
You must be good.
Thank you.
Let's go back to the singer evaluation.
Today's last singer evaluation is...
19 people from STU48.
Here we go.
I'm Ishida Chiho from ST48.
Thank you for having me.
The stars are just shaking on the way home when my breath gets cold
I'm about to forget even the faint warmth I just confirmed
Now that I realized for the first time that I could love someone
It was I who held the connected winter constellations
I want to stare at you so that you don't disappear into this sky
I believe
Thank you very much!
I'm STU48 Imamura Mitsuki. Nice to meet you!
I want to meet you soon and talk about various things with you.
I don't want to forget because I want to engrave it.
I want to meet you soon and hug you.
I'm really glad that everything started with you.
From the bottom of my heart.
I bit my lips and touched you with my fingers.
I made sure of my kiss with you.
When it stopped raining and the stars fell down,
I got lost in a small room.
Ah, I climbed up the tetrapod.
I'm going to stare at you and kick you into space.
Ah, when you kiss me on the cheek,
our time stops.
I like it.
Ah, boyfriend.
Thank you very much.
I'm Mahina Taniguchi of Estée Haute. Nice to meet you.
Until the last second, these feelings that I've gathered
The days that have piled up
Won't betray you
The dazzling sun
Will turn into a sunset
Illuminating a youthful time that will never come again
Illuminating
I'm chasing a straight dream
I love your eyes
Being with you like that
I want to treasure it
Tears and smiles
Are proof that I've become brave
Being with you like that
I'm proud of it
I'll always be proud of you
Thank you very much.
I'm STU48's Hyodo Aoi. Nice to meet you.
Even in this faraway city,
you give me dreams.
When white powder snow falls,
it reaches my heart, winter song.
Just by taking a deep breath, the light sways as if it were about to disappear.
I live more firmly than the stars shining in the sky.
You are by my side.
Even on the same night, by believing in each other,
A gentle breeze is blowing.
Toward the wide sky,
Spread your hands high.
The white powder snow is kind.
It reaches my heart, winter song.
Even in this faraway city,
It gives me dreams.
The white powder snow is kind.
It reaches you, winter song.
The white powder snow is kind.
Thank you very much.
I'm ST48's Minoushi and Lisa. Nice to meet you.
What do you want to do?
What did the media outline?
Even if ideal reality changes with a click of light
I can't be Adam and Eve from a distance away from Earth
If I could gently touch and heal that wound
From where sadness was born
Overflowing feelings of love will shine a light on you
Even if I'm not there in the future you're drawing
Right now I'll gently hold you
Even if it's fate, I want to draw you closer and continue to shine
Even if it's a miracle, I want to believe it can happen
I want to believe
Thank you very much!
I'm STU48's Morishita Maiha. Nice to meet you!
Yuzuku yo, kaorasu kieteku kotomo no koe
Tooku tooku, kono sora no dokoka ni kimi wa irun darou
Natsu no owari ni futari de nukedashita
Kono kouen de mitsuketa ano seiza
Nandaka oboeteru, amakutemo kioku wo tadotte
I want to see the same happiness
The fireworks part opens with that scent
I want to go to you
I want to run out right now
It's pitch black and you can't see anything, it's okay to be scared
The countless starry skies are still here forever
I won't cry, because it was the beautiful sky I saw with you a long time ago.
Thank you very much!
I'm Yano Onoka from stu48.
Nice to meet you!
On My Way Home
On my way home, I played around as I walked
I made you angry for no reason
I wanted to see all kinds of faces of you
Your big eyes and your voice like you're about to cry
They still tighten up my heart
Among the people I passed by
I chased you in the dark
I was looking for something that wouldn't change
I won't forget you from that day
I have feelings that transcend time
I want to see you right now
I've been looking for something that hasn't changed
I won't forget you from that day
I have feelings that transcend time
I want to see you right now
Thank you very much!
I'm Oki Yuka of stu48. Nice to meet you!
Take me to the sea in your light blue train
I'll snuggle up to your cigarette-smelling shirt
Even if it's been half a year since we first met
Even if it's you, I won't hold your hand
I will hold you
I want to follow you
I will hold you
I'm a little weak-minded, but you're a wonderful person
A red sweet pea bloomed in my heart
I like you more than anyone I've met today
I'll wait for you
I like the way you live
I can't go home like this
The day spring came to my heart was a red sweet pea
Thank you very much!
I'm Shinano Soraha of stu48.
Nice to meet you!
Lonely
Lonely, I look out of the window as if I'm about to break down
I walk aimlessly, sighing without anyone knowing
Eyebrows, I look out of the window as if I'm about to break down
Something that holds my passion together
I kept looking for it
Why do I have so many dreams that I can't see them honestly?
There's no place in the city where I can stay
Love was spilling out of my body
As an adult slips through the crowd, I pull out my hand
As my experience increases, I can't avoid it anymore
Even if I get lost, I'm proud of loving someone
I lived because I felt like we wouldn't see each other again
I'm proud
Like a strawberry I can't grab because it's about to fall
Sweet and painful things
I thought about it all night
One by one are disappearing
I was stacking up lights in my house
There's no place in the city where I can sleep
Tears were spilling out of my body
Thank you very much!
I'm STU48's Nakamura Mai.
Nice to meet you!
[Nakamura Mai - STU48]
I always wanted to be with you
I always wanted to smile by your side
Even though the seasons change again
My heart stays still
On the right side of you
I thought I got used to you a little
But why do I cry so much?
If my feelings won't come true anymore
I just want the courage to forget you
Even now, I still remember
Your words
Even the scenery I saw over my shoulder
I dedicate it to you
The black jacket I wore when I woke up
The back of me is becoming invisible to someone else
So once again
Like the stars returning to the forest
Disappearing naturally
Even small gestures
Can only be seen by you forever
Me too
Thank you very much!
STU48, I'm Yura Ikeda. Nice to meet you!
You push up the sky and reach out your hand for May.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you a bud, a garden leaf and a swimsuit.
Your cute light blue eyes.
I hope your endless dream will come to an end.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
My patience will one day bind me.
I hope your endless waves will stop properly.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much!
I'm Osaki Serika from stu48.
Nice to meet you!
The sunset we watched on the bridge, you seemed to like it very much.
"It's a beautiful place," you said. "I'd like to live here."
You came all the way to this city by train.
Even now, I live without forgetting those days.
Even now, I pray for you when I go to the yagmo shrine.
If one of my wishes comes true, I'd like to go back to those days.
The cityscape you said you liked will fade away today as well.
The wide sky and distant mountains are the streets we walked together.
It's a city with beautiful sunset.
Thank you very much.
I'm Yuna Kawamata of stu48.
Nice to meet you.
[Yuna Kawamata - Yuna Kawamata]
My feelings always sway like that
Because I keep thinking about you all the time
I'm thinking about what I should do next
What about you? I want you to tell me
To you, who I treasure so much
It started with "good morning" from you
It's a casual summer morning, but
It's also happy
In a casual conversation
I get burned by your big words
Rainy days are boring
Test study is bad
I'm the only one who knows
Before going to bed, a long call that continues without meaning
I can't always cut it off, so I put it together
Since when?
The difference between you and me is getting bigger
Hey, my feelings are always swaying like that
Because I keep thinking about you all the time
I'm thinking about what I should do from now on
How about you? I want you to tell me
To you, who I treasure so much
Thank you very much!
I'm Kudo Riko of stu48.

I'm Kojima Aiko of stu48. Nice to meet you!
If my wish comes true, I'll turn my breath into white roses
And decorate my room with them on days I can't see you
Thinking of you
Darling, I want you
I want to see you
I feel like I'm about to run into my throbbing love
You stand there like you're lost
I want you to reach me right away
I turned my dial and held back my hands
I'm just a woman falling in love
Darling, you love me
I want to hear your voice right now
Even if I hold back my cheeks with both hands
I hate nights when my cheeks get dry
I turned my dial and held back my hands
I'm just a woman falling in love
Thank you very much.
I'm Saco Himeka of stu48. Nice to meet you.
As the snow melts and heads for the northern sky
As I shout out the dreams of the past
People who don't return swim with a hot heart
At least from today, I will go on a journey alone
Somewhere in Japan, there is someone waiting for me
One day, I set out in search of a sunset
With my mother's back to me, I heard a song along the way
Somewhere in Japan, there is someone waiting for me
One day, I set out in search of happiness
With a song I sang as a child along the way
Thank you very much.
I'm Sarah Shimizu of stu48.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
We were together all along, walking down the same path.
We part ways and walk our own separate paths.
Holding my heart full of loneliness,
I look up at the sky and feel like I'm about to cry.
And I think of you.
Even on nights without you,
I feel like I'm about to cry.
I won't cry anymore.
Because I'm trying my best.
Because I'm getting stronger.
You're probably watching this too, right?
That's right, crescent moon.
Because we're connected, right?
Because I love you, right?
I reach my hand out to the crescent moon.
My feelings reach you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Suzuki Ayaka of stu48.
Nice to meet you.
The season I've always been waiting for with you is Itsumo kimi to machi tsuzuketa kisetsu wa
Nanimo iwazu toori sugita passed by without saying anything
The rain falls on this town Ame wa kono machi ni furi sosogu
Sukoshi no riguto to tsumi wo tsutsumikonde
Time passes as I vow not to cry, Nakanai koto wo chikatta mama toki wa sugi
Without noticing my aching heart Itamu kokoro ni ki ga tsukazu ni
In the memory of being alone, I was alone.
The two of us can live forever Zutto futari wa ikite yukeru
Your voice still resonates in my heart Kimi no koe ga ima mo mune ni hibiku yo
It's the shadow that love wanders around in. Sore wa ai ga samayou kage
I couldn't see you when you cried a little Kimi wa sukoshi naita ano toki mienakatta
Thank you very much.
I'm Momoka Rissen of the S.T.U. Court.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Momoka Rissen of the S.T.U. Court.
How are you doing?
Did you meet someone important?
Will your dream come true someday?
At the end of this road
Do you remember?
To the evening sky of the swaying forest
I kept searching for the sky along the horizon
Struggling to picture tomorrow
Now into my dream
The shapeless shine
Gently, gently
Embracing it
Moving forward
Thank you very much!
Finally, we had STU Hotel and 19 singing judges evaluate you.
Mr. Ota, how did you like it?
Yes, STU Hotel is amazing.
I have the impression that many people have a sense of the world.
Well, to put it bluntly, Mr. Ikeda Yura is a stable judge.
It was wonderful.
Also, Mr. Shimizu Sara.
I could hear the lyrics very well and I had a good sense of rhythm.
The breath was very musical.
Yes, it was wonderful.
Yes, thank you very much.
Now, Ms. Ami.
Yes.
How was it?
Everyone is different and everyone is good, but...
I hate you.
Mr. Yano is...
What did you praise him for?
He has a very relaxed and good voice, but above all, I felt that he had a very good sense of rhythm.
I can listen to it without worrying.
I feel like I know it for real.
Also, Mr. Mineoshi.
Yes.
It's a very cute voice, but it has a good balance of strength and delicacy.
And I'm sure he has very good ears.
Even if it gets a little unstable, it's fast to get it back.
That's what I think.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Now, Mr. Yudai.
Yes.
Well, STU48 has had a lot of individual levels since last year.
To be honest, I think everyone is pretty good.
Well, of course, those of you who raised it earlier.
Yes.
That's right.
Well, I like Mr. Mitsuki Imamura's performance.
Yes.
After all, if you sing it with a performance, it will be transmitted a lot.
And Mr. Taninichi's stable...
I like the good pitch of the song and the feeling of being drawn in.
It's overwhelming.
Kojima Aoko san sang beautifully and carefully, and I have the impression that many people could hear the lyrics.
It was also an area of concern.
There were a lot of things.
How about this election?
I thought you were attacking.
That's right. I was attacking a lot.
The greetings were very energetic and cute.
There was a gap and I was surprised.
The way you breathe is sexy and the chorus is powerful and I think it's very cool.
Thank you.
Sasaki san.
Yes.
How was it?
Everyone is cute and sings well.
Is there anyone you like?
Everyone is really good and I thought it was amazing to sing one o'clock.
It's not a private market, but it seems that you have experience of studying abroad in the United States and the Philippines.
Oh, really?
I looked it up.
I thought you were doing something in English.
Maybe you chose it as a weapon for that.
Yes.
I would like to see the impressions of the viewers who were posted on Twitter.
Here is my first impression.
"NONA members are really stable." This is a tweet from Kurosawa-san himself.
Did you watch it after all?
Kurosawa-san is also an STU member.
So is Diamond and Ikeda-san.
There were a lot of things today.
Let's move on to the comments.
Thank you, Kurosawa-san.
Mitch's driving-like singing voice is the best ride.
BOYFRIEND
"BOYFRIEND" by Amitsuki-san.
Amitsuki-san, what did you think of it?
I was smiling from the beginning, and it was a pretty good impression.
That song...
Even if it's a high note, you suddenly go like this, right?
I was waiting for that part too.
I wasn't just smiling.
Because you were singing along.
Yes, it was great.
Here is my next impression.
"From Yano to Oki" is really long!
"From Yano to Oki" and...
"From Yano to Oki" and "Red Sweet Peony"...
I see.
Here it is.
Yano to Oki...
How about Oki?
From Yano to Oki?
Oh, you mean Yano to Oki.
I see. You didn't like the "Yano to Onoka" part.
- Yes, of course. - We both loved it.
Yes, didn't we, Oki-san? What did you think of "Red Water Butterfly"
- Kyota-san. - Yes.
"Red Water Bird" was pure and straightforward, and I think it was very good.
- That's right. - Yes.
- There are many kinds of songs. - That's right.
- Yes, one more. - One more.
Let's see.
- Yes. - Okay, Ikeda Yura-san.
Once again...
- Yudai-san. - Yes.
- How did you like it, Ikeda Yura-san? - It was like "Monster Yan".
Well...
How can I say...
It's your first appearance since last year, and you won first place all of a sudden.
What kind of performance will you show us this year?
- At least, you have expectations, don't you? - Yes.
This year...
First of all...
I was surprised by your proud appearance.
It's like you're singing like this and attracting people.
Also, when it comes to singing, you don't miss the pitch.
Also, how can I say...
Your groove is big, isn't it?
Your sense of time is big, isn't it?
It's like you're always like this.
Your groove is big, isn't it?
First of all, you're 17 years old, but...
That's why I think you're a monster.
I'm 17 years old, you know.
Yes.
And with that, the first day of the qualifying round has come to an end.
Judges, thank you for your hard work!
Thank you for your hard work!
And with that, the first day of the qualifying round has come to an end, but...
Yudai-san...
Yes?
Who do you think is in first place?
That question again?
I'm curious about it every year, but it comes up again.
No, no, no...
Well...
This is...
Well...
Right?
Um...
Let's enjoy it!
Well, well...
That's right.
And with that, the first day of the qualifying round has come to an end.
The top 20 will be announced!
Thank you for waiting!
The 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round!
The results of the first day of qualifying have been released!
SKE48, NMB48, NGT48, STU48...
Which of the 48 members are ranked in?
If you are not ranked in here, you will be blocked from entering the final tournament.
Now, let's announce the results of the first day of qualifying!
First of all, we will announce the 20th to 11th place!
This time, there are two 19th places.
I will introduce you all at once.
The first one is...
STU48, SAKO HIMEKA!
STU48?
Yes!
The second 19th place is...
SKE48, ITO MIKI!
Congratulations!
Now, Mr. Ohta, how about this 19th place?
Yes, Mr. Sako.
Well, I think this person is the youngest.
Yes, he was 14 years old and had a good journey.
He was defeated in the election.
And his low voice is very good.
And he is very sexy.
He is 14 years old, but he is sexy.
And his voice and song match.
I'm looking forward to his future.
Oh!
Now, Ms. Ami, how about Mr. Itomiki?
Mr. Itomiki.
Well, he is a member of SKE.
He is singing "To the Future".
Oh!
He is a person who sings very carefully.
I think he is taking care of his voice and singing again.
Hahaha!
The song's impression is like a cow.
Hahaha!
It's important. It's important.
Now, let's move on to 18th place.
18th place.
Yes.
Next, we have two people with the same score.
We have two 17th place winners.
Let me introduce them at once.
Yes.
The first one is...
nmb48 manabe anju.
Yes, congratulations.
Yes.
And the second one is...
ske48 sawada kanon.
Thank you very much.
Next.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, congratulations.
Yes, so...
These are the two winners.
Now, Mr. Yudai.
Yes.
Yes, how about you?
nmb48 manabe anju.
At that time...
Yes.
Well...
Looking at my age...
I said I was 19 years old...
I was very...
First of all...
I was very sexy.
Yes.
Well...
Somehow... How can I say...
First of all, I listened to it while thinking it was cool.
Yes, me too.
It says "long legs"
That's it.
I don't know how to sing.
No, but the song was sung carefully and carefully.
Somehow... But if I dare to say it,
If I had focused on the chorus a little more and made this composition,
I think the impression would have been a little different.
I think it was regrettable.
That's what I thought.
Yes.
And here is Mr. Sawada's screen.
Mr. Ohta's screen.
Yes.
Well...
He is a painter of light.
Yes.
Falsetto...
This song has a lot of falsettos.
Yes.
It's very stable and I think it was good because it had a very transparent feeling.
Yes.
It's a good song.
Well...
That's 15th place.
Next is 16th place.
Is it 16th place?
Yes, I will announce 16th place.
16th place is...
Yes.
stu48...
Chiho Ishida.
Yes, congratulations.
Well...
Ami-san...
Yes.
Chiho Ishida...
Well...
stu48 didn't get a lot of votes, but...
Chiho Ishida, how was it?
I had the impression that she had a very pure voice.
Falsetto came out very beautifully.
I had the impression that she was very good at switching between falsettos.
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
Yes, next is 15th place.
Yes.
15th place is...
stu48...
Riko Kudo.
Yes, congratulations.
Oh, it's a one-off.
Yes, congratulations.
Well, Mr. Yudai...
Yes.
How was it, Riko Kudo?
Well...
First of all, in the election...
Well...
First of all, at this point in time...
I know there's a long road ahead of me...
But...
Well...
How can I say it...
English lyrics and Japanese lyrics are mixed together, and I think it's very difficult.
And well...
To be honest, I think there were still some rough parts.
But I think he was a kid who really felt his own will and how to deal with the second half.
So...
I want him to aim higher and get better and better.
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
Now, let's move on to 14th place.
Yes.
14th place is...
stu48...
imamura mitsuki.
Yes, congratulations!
Mr. Ohta, who sang "boyfriend" for us.
Yes.
Well, I gave this cutter a pretty high score.
It has a good sense of rhythm.
And it's a song that makes you feel like you're having fun.
And the performance is also very good.
I had the impression that you were able to express the song very well.
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
Now, let's move on to 13th place.
Yes.
13th place is...
stu48...
mineyoshi arisa.
Yes, congratulations!
Yes, mineyoshi...
Well, Ms. Ami.
Yes.
How did you like mineyoshi?
Well, I also gave it a pretty high score.
I said everything I wanted to say earlier.
I thought you might be in the rankings.
Yes, that's right.
Yes, I thought so.
Yes.
Well, let's talk about it later.
Yes, thank you.
Now, let's move on to 12th place.
Yes.
The next score is the same, so there are two 11th place winners.
Two 11th place winners.
Yes.
The first one is...
nmb48...
orisaka koharu.
Yes, congratulations!
And also 11th place... nmb48 kato yuka. Yes, congratulations!
Yes, so this is the rag team from 20th to 11th place, but once again, Mr. Ohta, how about it?
Yes, orisaka koharu, I think. Her version of the song is very rich, and I remember that the way the phrase ended was very beautiful.
Also, I thought it would be better if she had more facial expressions.
Yes, thank you very much.
Soami-san, how was it?
Mr. kato, "dry flower"... Yes.
From the first line of the song, you sang with a lot of confidence, so I'm sure you practiced a lot until you got there.
I think it's good. Yes, thank you very much.
Now, Mr. yudai... Yes.
Looking at this whole thing from 20th to 11th, what is your impression?
It's hard for me to say...
Yes, it is.
I mean, it was pretty good, and I was able to judge it myself, but I have the impression that the good girls in the song are following the results and making it in.
Yes, thank you very much.
So, shall we go?
From now on, we will announce the top 10 people for the first day of qualifying.
Yes.
The 10th place is...

- Yes, and Yudai-san, would you like to say something?
- Well...
- She hasn't been on stage before, and she's new...
- Yes.

Let's see...Ota-san! - Yes!
Amiru-chan, how was it?
I was able to catch her from her mouth.
She had a sense of security.
But she was also cute and had a very attractive singing voice.
And I also thought that her breath was very musical.
Her sense of rhythm was very good.
- Yes. - Yes.
Yes, thank you very much.
Now...ah, then...Ami-san!
Ami-san, how was it? Yamasaki Amiru-chan?
I was able to catch her from her mouth.
Her sense of rhythm was so good that you came to see her live.
I want to see it.
I also want to listen to various songs.
- Yes. - Yes.
Now, then...
The first announcement of the first day of qualifying!
First place is...
stu48 Yura Ikeda!
Yes, congratulations!
So, the first place of the first day is Mr. Ikeda Yura!
Now, with that in mind, 20 people have been decided.
First of all, let's ask Mr. Ikeda about his impression of Mr. Ota.
Yes, it's very touching.
I didn't think he was 17 years old.
He was originally very good at expressing himself,
but I thought he was improving his expression even more.
Yes, thank you very much.
Ms. Ami!
Yes, he had a great sense of stability,
but I got the impression that he was very good at controlling himself,
including his voice, expressions, and world view.
Yes, thank you very much.
Mr. Yudai!
Yes, I've known him for a little while since last year,
but from Mr. Ikeda, who says he's good at singing,
I think he's made one or two more efforts this year,
but I think he's become more and more like a ghost.
From a monster to a ghost.
He's become like a ghost.
So, with that in mind, 20 people have been chosen to advance to the final round of the first day of qualifying.
Congratulations!
Now, it's time for the final round of the first day of qualifying for the AKB48 Group Singers' No. 1 Deciding Round.
Ota-san, how did you feel about the first day of qualifying?
Yes, well, overall, I had the impression that people with good balance remained at the top.
Well, unfortunately, this time, even for those who didn't score high, each of you had your own charm, so it was very wonderful.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of talent you'll encounter tomorrow.
Yes!
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow as well. Now, Ami-san.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow as well, but I'm a little worried.
Worried?!
Why?
Well, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, so if you don't listen carefully and concentrate, you'll feel like it'll pass in an instant.
Yes, with today's impression in mind...
That's right.
...we'd like you to look forward to tomorrow's judges.
Yes.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow as well.
Now, Yudai-san.
Yes.
Yes, how did you like it?
Tomorrow as well, there will be a lot of great singers, but this tournament is really interesting.
It's interesting, isn't it?
It's really... even though I'm such a great singer, I'm still in this ranking... I'm looking forward to tomorrow as well.
Yes, thank you very much.
How about you, Waga-san?
Well... let's see... it's like an NMV one-eyed shot.
We're in sixth place out of eight, aren't we?
That's right.
Yes, this is really amazing.
After all, when I saw it flow like this and saw it all over my head, I thought it would go pretty far, but we're in sixth place, aren't we?
Yes, with that said, various... after all, STU is amazing as well.
Yes, I'm looking forward to tomorrow as well!
AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round 2 will be broadcast live at this time starting tomorrow night at 9pm!
Tomorrow's qualifying screening will be done by AKB48 and HKT48.
