AISubs v3.4
This is the live broadcast of the fourth AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Final Straight Ahead Singing Group Separation Live Voting Session from TBS G-Studio.
I'm Kumazaki Kazato, a TBS announcer, and I'm Maine Sasaki, a TBS announcer, and I'm also a TBS announcer.
Tonight, on January 12th, we'll be holding the fourth AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Final, which will be held at Maihama Amphitheatre.
These 20 people who have decided to advance to the final will be divided into four groups and the order of singing in the final will be decided on today's live broadcast.
Now, I'd like to introduce the guests who have decided to advance to the final.
First of all, Kurosawa Kaoru-san of Gosperars, who is the judge of the second and third finals and of this tournament as well.
Good evening.
Next, from the first round to this tournament, Yusuke Waga, an entertainer who was in charge of all of the preliminary screening.
Thank you for having me!
Thank you.
Tonight, we will have you two draw lots.
Thank you for having me!
Kurosawa-san, it's finally time for you to draw lots.
How do you feel about it?
Last time, I didn't know much about the members or anything like that, so I was pretty relaxed about it.
But this time, I feel a lot of pressure.
I don't know what to do.
Kurosawa-san, you're going to draw lots.
Why? Why do I have to draw lots?
Thank you for having me.
And now, it's your turn, Waga-san.
That's right. This is the fourth time, so I'm sure the level will go up.
I'm still fine, but please forget about me.
I'm a "ghosterous" person.
You guys tend to forget about me.
You guys made me draw lots so easily.
I'm a "ghosterous" person.
You're right.
That's fine, but...
Are you two nervous about drawing lots?
Well, you know...
The order in which you sing changes your impression completely.
If you're in a position where you're going to draw lots, you'd be nervous, wouldn't you?
I'm sorry.
Apologize first and then apologize later.
I'm very sorry about that.
People's lives are different.
No, no, no, really.
Thank you for having me.
Before we start, let's take a look at the enthusiasm of the members who have advanced to the finals.
Viewers, please leave your impressions and opinions of the live broadcast on the hashtag "#akb48 Singing Power No. 1 Decision Line".
First of all, there are five judges who have been recommended and 11 singers who have advanced from 15th to 10th place in the qualifying round.
Here you go!
[The song that will change your life]
Surely it will create a gap
You know, I love you
Every time you spread in my heart
Love overflows and tears spill
After all, I was frustrated.
But actually, I asked myself again why I couldn't be one of the 15.
Well, I'm not convinced, but I was able to look back and think about the reasons why I wasn't good enough.
I think it was a good catalyst.
My goal is...
Well, when I talk about reality, I really want to be in the finalist live.
And in order to stand in the finalist live, I have to aim for the championship.
I don't think I can go up to that base, so I'm going to do my best with the feeling of aiming for the championship.
It's a very difficult game, isn't it?
I won't get in their way again.
I've always liked idols and listened to a lot of songs since I was a student.
But with COVID-19, I spent more time at home.
I spent more time listening to music than watching TV.
And even when I couldn't perform on stage,
if I could perform in front of my fans again,
I wanted to look a little more mature.
This time, I was able to advance to the finals like this.
I will do my best to show you a better side of me.
I'm nervous.
I chose this song because I wanted to show you my good side.
And I wanted to have fun and liven up the place.
I wanted to challenge myself to enjoy this place, so I chose this song.
Even when I was watching it,
the members standing behind the live band were really cool.
I saw everyone singing and having fun singing.
I didn't think I'd be standing here for a year.
And I'm really happy about that.
I'm going to enjoy myself as much as I can and stand on stage.
My goal is...
I had a hard time choosing a song.
I want to sing one song, but...
When I think about judging, there is a song I gave up on.
I want to be a finalist and sing it at the last live show.
I'm finally on the final round for the fourth time.
If you don't give up and work hard, you can advance to the final round like this.
I hope that those of you who are watching will have the courage to take a step forward.
Thank you very much.
I've been thinking about it since the qualifying round.
I think it's important how much you can have fun singing.
I'm going to use all the power I have now
to tell you about the good things about the song and about myself.
I think we'll have a lot of members from AKB this year.
I hope other fans will think, "AKB is great."
And I'm going to be a captain soon.
If she's the captain, I can trust her!
I hope we can give you that kind of performance.
When you kiss me, stay by my side.
I wish I hadn't been cool.
I'm glad we met with kindness.
La la la la goodbye days
At AKB events, you can't sing other artists' songs.
So I want you to sing as many of your favorite songs as you can.
I want you to think, "She can sing."
And I have a close friend, Nana-chan.
I know I can't keep up with her,
but I want to catch up with her.
I hope I can stay in the finalist with Nana-chan.
I'm happy about that.
I think there are girls who don't usually get much spotlight, but I think there are things that can be found by properly conveying the feelings contained in the song, and I think that being passionate about something and taking it seriously is becoming less and less, so in that regard, I feel like I'm trying to sing hard in AKB recently, so if I can show you my growth in that regard, I would be happy if you could support me.
I'm sure you'll say I've evolved a lot, so I'll do my best with everyone.
I've heard a lot of my fans say that they like songs like "kayo" and things like "natsumero" that I sing, so I took that opinion into account, but I really like it and chose songs that include my own voice and my own characteristics, so please look forward to it.
Thank you for watching.
Until now, I've sung solo songs in theaters and so on, and I've received a lot of opinions like "Oh, you're a singer," but I can say for myself that I've definitely grown since the first final of singing ability, so I'd like you to take a closer look at my growth over the past few years and that I'm there as a singer member of the future akb members.
I hope you'll enjoy it.
I want to keep looking at your face all the time, I want to keep smiling
I think I've leveled up myself, but everyone else has leveled up as well.
Every year, I've been thinking about a lot of things.
The first time, I was singing without thinking about anything.
Now, I think I've been working hard four times in a row for four years.
I want to do my best to show my true colors.
I love singing anyway.
It's not easy to sing alone while you're working.
I want people who don't know me to know my singing voice.
I like my music.
It's worth it, but I hope someone can hear it.
I hope you can deliver your feelings of love for music and make me smile.
Thank you for watching my video.
♪ I want you to reach me right away.
When I think about my own atmosphere and charms,
I am often told that I am calm.
I want to be beautiful and colorful rather than cute.
That's why I chose this song.
I want to show you that I am pretty good at it.
I am often told that I am careless and that I am an adult, but I am actually not bad at it.
I will show you a good performance.
♪ Were you here with me?
Well, I wanted to sing it last year, and I've chosen it because it's a song I've been familiar with for a long time.
On the same day, all of my teammates are performing at different venues.
I'm going from one teammate to another in the final round, so I'd like to do my best to show my teammates that I can still do it and that I'm amazing.
I was staring at the winter constellations in the sky as if they were not going away.
I still can't believe that I'm going to compete in the finals every year.
But every year I don't have a song to sing and I don't know how to fight.
I'm looking forward to it.
It's like a skill test for me.
A song is something that you will definitely remember.
The situation and atmosphere at the time.
I hope that in the future, not only fans but also those who are not fans will remember me and say, "That was amazing."
I hope I can make a stage that will vividly remain in my memory.
So we've seen the five judges' recommendations, the qualifying round from 15th to 10th, the singing scene and enthusiasm of the judges.
Mr. Kurosawa, please tell us your honest impressions.
Well, you all are really good.
If it was the first or second round, I think there would be many people who could have made it to the finalists.
So this time, it's really up to the judges.
But I don't know if we can make it to the finalists or not because we're not good enough to sing in a live band.
I think you said last year that you were at a very high level, but are you still at a high level this year?
I think it's higher than last year.
Usually, Mr. Mimura is in the 20th place, or the judges say that Mr. Mimura is in the 20th place.
That's pretty much what everyone's talking about.
Mr. Mimura also sings completely differently when he's in a live band.
I'm looking forward to seeing if he's going to be ticklish here.
Mr. Uwaga, you've seen it from the first round to this fourth round, and you've seen it halfway through, but how was the qualifying scene?
So I don't know what the judges are scoring with.
I don't know where the difference is.
Aren't you all good and good at winning?
Why don't you stop raffling?
You're all going to win and turn all the shows upside down.
I don't think that's going to happen.
We'll do it.
Let's move on to the next VTR.
Next up is the qualifying scene from 8th to 1st place, with a total of nine singing scenes and enthusiasm.
"Kimi ga Irakunatta Hibi mo" (The Days Without You)
In the qualifying round, I sang "neko" as the key of the original song,
but sometimes I sing low-key songs and surprisingly high-key songs,
so I think I have more enthusiasm than others,
and I hope I can show you that gap someday.
The point of this qualifying round is that I chose my favorite song.
I want to sing and sing and I can't help it, like singing "nan nara" every day,
and I'm looking forward to performing it on stage with a live band,
so I hope I can sing the song I chose more fun and more fun than anyone else.
"know everything" "anata ga omou yori tsuyoku" (I know everything stronger than you think)
"yasashii uso nara iranai" (If it's a kind lie, I don't want it)
"hoshii indo wa anata" (I want you)
No, this time...
Everyone is very strong.
Well, of course, they were strong last time, too.
Everyone is putting in a lot of effort.
I'm sure there are a lot of girls who have been practicing really hard for this.
Well, I'm not going to work hard from now on.
I think I have to work hard.
As for SK, I'm really alone now.
I want to stay in the top ranking.
I want to sing two songs.
I want to do my best.
I want to deliver my feelings to people.
But on that basis...
On that basis, I'm sure...
Maybe I'm the one who wants to sing and be moved the most.
But I'm the type of person who wants to convey my feelings of emotion to someone and hope that emotion will be born more and more.
I want to make it a stage where I can be convinced and fulfilled.
By doing so, I hope I can move the listeners.
If I can do that...
If I can be on such a stage, I think I'll be happy.
Because I'm doing my best.
Because I'm going to be strong.
I took a break and fell down.
I want to make it a stage for me to come back as an idol.
Last year, I took a break and couldn't come out.
I think I have a stronger feeling than other performers.
I have my own way of recovery, but when I was depressed, my fans comforted me a lot, so next time I want to be in a position to cheer up.
Thank you for watching.
This year, I feel like I have a lot of AKB members and a lot of friends.
And I want to be a finalist in this.
I feel like I have more rivals.
Of course, it's the top four in the qualifying round.
The top four in the qualifying round will definitely meet someone.
Besides that, I think it would be scary if I met Furuhata-san the most.
After all, I love singing songs.
I want to convey that feeling as hard as I can.
For those of you who are listening, I hope you think the song I sang is a good song.
As an AKB group as a whole, I hope we can liven up this event.
Thank you.
I wasn't satisfied with myself in the preliminary round, and I wanted to go higher and higher, but there are still finals left, so I want you to show me your other images at that time.
This is definitely a championship, and I'm thinking of breaking this stage.
But honestly, it's my first big venue, so I'm nervous, but I'll practice hard with that big dream in mind.
I want to meet you right now.
In a word, everyone is getting better, and I think the fans' expectations for this project have increased a lot, so I'm really looking forward to the finals.
It's a song that shows all of my strengths.
I chose a song that makes me feel comfortable, and it's a song that only thinks about winning.
I'm only aiming for the championship this time as well.
I'll do my best!
Forever and ever
I wish for it to continue
Even if I can't take your hand
I'm happy with you
I wish my time would stop
Four of the top four are members of NONA DIAMONDS
I felt that everyone was serious this time as well
Last time, I felt like I had to win first place
I felt like I couldn't do my best
I also felt like I made a mistake in the election
I regretted it last time
So I hope it doesn't happen again
I'm aiming for first place this time
I want to relax and enjoy the music itself
I hope one day my endless tears will stop and my love for you will last for a hundred years.
Like last year, I made it to the second place in the qualifying round and I'm very happy to advance to the finals.
It's my second time, but I won't forget my first win and I'll do my best.
It's NMB48's Isshion.
I thought it was a song that only Isshion could sing, and I thought it was very nice.
Until now, I loved singing and loved this competition, and I was very happy to be able to participate in this competition.
This time, I want to do my best to sing a song that reaches those who listen.
Like a dry flower, the days with you will surely, surely, surely, surely fade away.
This time, for the qualifier, in my mind, really, a song called "dry flower", packed and packed,
in this world view, with this kind of feeling, with this kind of strength and weakness, I thought about it one by one and challenged it,
so I'm happy with the result and I'm glad.
However, in the first place in the qualifier, there is a jinx that you can't get first place in the final,
and it's said by a lot of fans,
but in order not to lose to such a jinx, I will do my best to get first place in the final as well.
Until now, there were some parts where I felt lonely because there weren't many AKB members,
but there are a lot of young members who are really good,
so I don't know what will happen, but I hope we can get good rankings together as much as possible.
This year is my fourth time, and it's a time when I have to fly alone,
so I have to win here and take a step towards my future,
and I have a strong feeling that I have to win,
and I hope that I can be on such a stage so that I can be recognized for my singing voice of one person.
Now, we have seen the singing scene and enthusiasm of the qualifying 8th to 1st place candidates.
Mr. Kurosawa, we have now seen all of the finalists. How do you feel?
Well, it doesn't matter who wins in the top 8.
So far, everyone has won.
I think it would be nice if we could have a finalist live show with 20 people.
To be honest, I don't want to judge them.
As for the top 5,
they are just singers, good singers.
It's not like an idol sings a song and challenges it.
They are just good at live shows.
I don't know what's wrong with them.
Mr. Okada, who is in first place, has an overwhelming ability to express himself.
This may be an advantage for you, Mr. Okada,
but I think you have a slight advantage in singing.
I think you might be able to separate 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.
Is it that detailed?
Yes, I think it's at that level.
I think you can turn over as many candidates as you like, no matter who is in first place.
Mr. Ikeda, who was in 2nd place in the preliminary round,
will be in first place in this tournament.
I see. Is that so?
What do you think about the possibility?
I think it's possible.
I think even Mr. Furuhata might win.
And Mr. Ii...
I don't want to say it in a creepy way,
but he has an unknown ability,
so it's possible for him to win.
Mr. Waga, you've seen all of them so far, but how do you predict the final tournament?
Well, you know, the top four teams are common, right?
And they're already using the song that suits them the most, right?
When that happens, Hatsu Shizuo, and of course, good Shion-chan, and Shimizu Sara-chan are interesting, aren't they?
I haven't seen them before, so I'm kind of worried about what kind of song they're going to sing.
I'm excited because I don't know what they're going to sing.
Now, are you two ready?
What?
I'd like you to explain.
The fourth AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Final Tournament's Singing Groups Drawing Session!
I told you we had to do it.
I told you.
From now on, Mr. Kurosawa and Mr. Waga will draw these 20 people into four groups.
First of all, four top seed groups will be divided into each group for a draw.
Once the seed group has been decided, the first group to the fourth group will be drawn in order.
From the fifth group of the preliminary round, eight people will be A, and from the 12th group of the preliminary round, eight people will be B for each group for a draw.
In addition, there were three members in the 12th group of the preliminary round, so Mr. Kurosawa was selected in advance.
From A to HKT48's Elena Sakamoto.
From B to STU48's Aiko Kojima and AKB48's Hitomi Ohtake.
So we're going to split up into groups now.
- How about you, Kurosata-san? - I don't want to do it.
- You're already determined. - But I have to do it, right?
I'll do it with all my heart.
I'll say it, but I'm not that strong of a puller.
- That's right. - I don't have anything to say.
- You can't do anything. - I have no choice but to do it.
- You have no choice but to pull. - Yes.
If you're ready to pull, let's get started.
If you do that, you won't be able to go home.
- You only have about 22 minutes left. - Yes, about 22 minutes.
- You have to do it no matter what. - You can't hesitate.
Let's look back at the preliminaries.
- Let's do it again. - Let's do it again.
Let's split up into groups and do a raffle.
Let's start with the seed work.
SEED WORK
- The seed work is... - It's pretty packed.
There are four people in the seed work.
First of all, you will be divided into groups of one, two, three, and four.
- Do we put this in? - That's right.
There are four people in the seed work.
- There are only four people in the seed work. - Yes.
- Are there any habits? - No.
Mr. Kurosawa will be drawing from this box.
- Shall we get started? - Yes, sir.
- First up is the first group of seed work. - Yes.
- Mix it up well. - Mix it up well.
Okay, let's go.
Okay, the first group of preliminaries is Mr. Yano.
Mr. Yano is here.
The first group of seed work, STU48, Mr. Yano Honoka is in.
His voice control is unbelievable.
With his calmness, he can say a lot of things.
He was in the first group last time, right?
Yeah, I think so.
He was in the first group last time and in the first group this time as well.
I told you not to think about it back then.
That's not going to happen.
He's in the second group.
I'm in the second group.
Yamasaki.
Yamasaki is in.
From Ruby48, Yamasaki Amir has entered the fifth seed frame in the second group.
Yamasaki has raised his arms and voice.
He was singing in the preliminary round.
I don't know at all.
And his draw is great.
He's going to be the champion of the re-branding and he's going to be in the first place of this preliminary round.
I see.
It's a great draw.
To which order will it be?
The third seed frame in the group.
Yes.
With an open mind...
Oh!
Okada is in the 3rd group of SEED.
AKB48, STU-48, and Okada 7-san are in the 1st and 2nd place of the preliminaries.
Okada-san was in the 1st place of the preliminaries, wasn't he?
And Ikeda-san is in the 4th group of SEED.
Okada-san is not the type of person to be beaten by Christian.
So, first of all, we have this line-up.
From the first row, we have Yano-san, Yamasaki- san, Okada-san and Ikeda-san.
The four of you are in this line-up.
Kurosawa-san, what do you think?
No, it was pretty good.
It was good.
I was very relieved.
Ikeda-san is last, but Ikeda-san is really not the same person at all,
so it doesn't matter if it's last or first.
- Well... - That's right.
- It's their first time winning in their first appearance. - That's right.
They have a sense of honor.
Okada-san, what do you think of this line-up?
No, I think it's good.
It's good from here... No, it's from here!
- That's good! - That's right.
It's about who's going to clash against who.
- That's right. - Yes.
I think we can stop here.
- The rest is up to the staff. - No, no, no.
- I'd like you two to draw on this live broadcast. - Thank you very much.
- Now, let's get started. - Let's do it at home or something.
Singers' group selection live draw.
Next up is the first line-up draw.
I'm excited.
Now, from here, in the first line-up,
it will be decided which of these five people will clash against each other.
- That's right. - That's right.
It will be decided.
As for the order of drawing,
from the first group,
B, second group, A, third group, B, fourth group, A.
You will draw in order of B, A, B, A.
I'd like you to draw in A's box, Crosser's box, and my box.
Now, let's start with the first group's top batter, my box, B's box.
- Shall we do it? - Shall we do it?
- Let's do it. - Let's do it.
- The event is "top batter". - That's right.
So, I don't know if it will be exciting there. But Mizuki Imamura wants to make it exciting, doesn't she?
- Yes. - She said she wanted to make it exciting earlier.
So, I want "top batter" to make it exciting.
- Let's do it. - Let's do it.
- Hitomi Otake. - Ms. Otake is in "top batter"!
- She's in the first group. - Ms. Hitomi Otake of akb48 is in the first group.
- In other words, she's in the "top batter" group. - That's right.
She's experienced, isn't she? She's been in the first group at least once.
- She can do it if she knows how to do it. - That's right.
- Let's move on to the second person in the first group. - Let's do it.
- Ms. Kurosawa, please pick an "A" box. - I really don't like it.
- Okay, let's do it. - I don't like it either.
Oh...
- Ms. Shimizu is in the first group! - Ms. Shimizu is in the first group!
- Ms. Shimizu and Ms. Sarah of akb48 are in the first group! - Wow!
- Ms. Shimizu and Ms. Sarah of akb48 are in the first group! - That's right.
- Wow! - Yes.
How do you feel about these three people being in the first group?
Well, this is...
- This is bad. - This is bad.
This is bad for me, too. I might end up joining STU.
- This is a little awkward. - Ms. Kurosawa...
- Both of them have amazing skills. - That's right.
- There's a possibility of eating each other up. - Yes.
- Okay, let's move on to the third person in the first group, Ms. Waga. - Yes.
Ms. Waga...
- Here I go. - Okay.
- Ms. Murayama. - Ms. Murayama is here.
- From AKB48, Ms. Murayama is here. - I'm sorry, but...
- I'm sure it'll end well, but... - What I was most afraid of was hitting this girl on her shoulder.
- I see. - I'm glad I pulled her out.
- Ms. Murayama is still unknown. - Yes.
- Once she's finished, you can't tell at all. - You can't tell, right?
Her high pitch strength is a little different.
Now four people have been decided. Now, last, fourth person in the first group.
- Do I have to pull her out? - Please!
- Do I have to pull her out? Do I have to pull her out? - Yes, you do.
- I'll pull her out. I understand. I'll pull her out.
- Who is it? Who is it? - Whoa!
- Who is it? - Whoa!
- Who is it? - Who is it?
- It's Ms. E. - Whoa! Ms. E. Shion is here!
- Ms. E. Shion is here! - I have no idea at all!
- From AKB48, Ms. E. Shion is in the first group, fourth person in the first group. - Whoa!
- This is going to be a fierce battle. - Whoa!
- I have no idea at all. - Yes.
I've heard quite a lot of people say that Ms. E. is in the first group.
Ms. Shimizu and Mr. Murayama are also in the first group. Mr. Ohtake is also in the first group.
I'm sorry, but I can't let my guard down about Ms. Yano at all.
- She is in the first group, but... - Yes, she is in the third, second, and eighth group.
- That's right. - She is in a group where it's quite possible that she will be in the second group.
- I can't let my guard down about Ms. Yano at all. - No, but I think it's interesting as a card.
- I think it's quite interesting at first. - Yes.
- It's interesting, but I'm sorry. - These five people are in the first group.
Are you going to look at Twitter?
We'd like to see what our viewers have to say about this.
- Here is our first comment. - I don't like her.
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
- You two are here, right? - Yes.
- Shall we move on to the next one? - Yes, let's.
- AKB48 is covered by SP. - Top Batter, Chaki.
- Mr. Ohtake. - Mr. Ohtake. - Is it me?
- You are... - It's not you. - It's the fans.
- Mr. Ohtake, Top Batter. - Do you think it's okay? - I think it's exciting.
- It's hard to compete with someone who has been Top Batter for years. - Yes, it is.
- But someone has to work for it. - That's right.
- As you can see, there are five people in the first group. - That's right.
- Let's move on to the second group. - Yes.
From the first group, it's A, B, A, B, and Yamasaki from SEED.
- I'll go first. - Yes, Kurosawa-san from A, please.
I feel like it's easier to go from A.
- It's Sakamoto-san. - Sakamoto-san has joined.
Sakamoto Elena-san, HKT48's Sakamoto-san has joined the first group.
- She's gotten stronger. - Yes, she has.
Let's move on to the second group, B.
- I'll go. - Yes.
Kojima Aiko.
The second group is Kojima Aiko-san from STU48.
I see.
- I like this. - It's smooth.
- It's smooth so far. - The flow is good.
Let's move on to the second group. Kurosawa-san, please.
- It's smooth. - I don't know what they're singing.
It's not smooth at all.
- It's Asai-san. - It's Asai-san!
It's really smooth.
A.k.a.b.48's Asai Nanami-san has joined the third group.
- She has a clear flow. - She stands out.
Let's move on to the fourth group. Waga-san, please.
I think these four people will choose Mimura-san.
- Probably. - I see.
Mimura-san is in this group.
Imamura-mitsuki-san from st.48 is in the 4th place.
Their voices are quite similar.
So their singing ability might stand out.
Their voices are clear and high-pitched.
That might be quite severe.
It's hard to tell the difference.
It depends on how carefully you sing.
How carefully you make a hole.
The first group might have the most intense singing ability.
It depends on how carefully you sing.
There are 5 members in each group and there are 8 members in total.
How about the second group?
You might not know yet.
Well...
I have experience of singing in a live band.
So I don't know how Imamura-mitsuki-san will do.
But Imamura-mitsuki-san sang a very rhythmic song with only one piano.
That might be a good thing.
What do you think of this second group?
I want Imamura-mitsuki-san to enjoy singing.
But...
I wonder if Imamura-mitsuki-san sang in the first half of the song.
Okada and Shigeru-san are still singing in the second half of the song.
Well...
I think it will be fun.
Let's take a look at some comments from our viewers on Twitter.
Here it is.
Is there going to be a final between two groups?
Asahi sang a good song.
I think there is.
To be honest, it's not possible for everyone.
It's possible for everyone.
That's why I said we should do a finalist live with 20 people.
I think it's hard to predict.
So far, two groups have been decided.
Let's divide the singing group and do a live draw.
Next is the third group's draw.
The third group's top batter will be from group B, so we'll have you draw in order of group A and group B.
We'll have you draw first.
But Okada-san, you don't have an STU card anymore.
- Oh, that's right. - I see.
I guess I'll go with AKB first.
Yes, it's Yuka Kato.
Yuka Kato is in the first group of the third group.
- Yuka Kato and NMB48. - Oh, right.
- So it's two dry flowers. - No, it's not a dry flower battle.
- It's not a dry flower battle. - It's not a battle.
- It's just two of you. - That's right.
Next is the second group of the third group.
Kurosawa-san, please start with the draw box in group A.
It's starting to open up again.
- It's Oda-san. - It's Oda-san.
AKB48's Oda Erina-san is in the second group of the third group.
There are songs I like and songs that are similar to Okada-san's.
I'm looking forward to this.
Let's move on to the third group of the third group.
- Third person, Waga-san, please. - I'm looking for a ball.
Here I go.
It's Taguchi Manaka-san.
Taguchi Manaka-san of AKB48 is in the third group of the third group.
- He's in the third group of the third group. - There are a lot of AKB songs.
There are a lot of rock-like songs.
In terms of genre, there are a lot of rock ballads.
Is there a Taguchi-san?
Lastly, the fourth person of the third group.
- Waga-san, please. - Okay.
- Wow! - That's cool!
They really became that kind of group.
- Furuhata-san. - It's Furuhata-san!
SKE48's only SKE!
Furuhata Nao-san has joined the fourth person of the third group!
They're a group that's good at singing cool songs.
So I think the key is how cool you can sing.
Furuhata Nao-san and Furuhata Nao-san.
If they do well, I'll say it out loud, but they're Okada and Furuhata.
So it's about how well you can sing.
If you make them sing cool songs, they'll be really cool.
Also, you can sing songs like "Senkyoku" and "The atmosphere at that time" during a live performance.
Not only that.
The judges will also judge based on the overall performance.
So I think the three of you still have a chance.
- Waga-san, Furuhata-san and Okada-san have become a gorgeous lineup. - That's right.
Yesterday, Oda Erina-chan was doing a concert in a live band.
- So the live band rehearsal is going well. - I see.
- So we don't know yet. - That's true.
- Oda-san also has a great atmosphere. - Yes.
Let's see some comments on Twitter.
Here it is.
Furuhata-san just before Okada-san. That's mean!
- Sorry. - Sorry.
- Sorry, Furuhata. Sorry. - This lineup...
- It can't be helped. - It's a mountain of comments.
- It's like we brought a mountain of programs. - It's more fun to watch.
- That's right.
Here's another comment.
I'm going to be a finalist! I'll do my best!
- This is Asai-san himself, right? - That's right. This is Asai-san.
- Asai-san. - Asai-san's hair got cut, right?
- Yes, yes. - The atmosphere has changed a lot, hasn't it?
- There's a lot of enthusiasm. - Yes, there's a lot of enthusiasm.
As expected, the members are also paying a lot of attention and watching you.
I feel like I'm really sorry.
- No, no, it's a group that you want to win against anyone. - Well, that's right.
- Is the level going up at all this year? - Yes, that's right.
Well then, shall we go?
The last of the show group drawing lottery is the fourth group's lottery.
The first of the fourth group starts with "A," so we'll start with you, Kurosawa-san.
Oh...
Toyonaga-san.
The first of the fourth group is HKT48's Toyonaga Aki-san!
Toyonaga-san's character has changed a lot.
Until now, he's done a lot of rock songs, but I think he's shown us that he can also do soft ballads.
"Kuchiba Shincheri" was really good.
It was good, right?
Shall we move on to the second of the fourth group, Waga-san?
Yes!
Iwatate Saho-san.
Iwatate-san and Iwatate Saho-san are in the fourth group.
The atmosphere is good.
It's lined up, but shall we continue?
The third of the fourth group, Kurosawa-san, please.
Oh...
Omori-san.
Yes, AKB48's Omori Maho-san is in the group.
And there's only one left, but let's hear it, young man.
The only NGT left until the end is Himura Hino- san.
Yes, NGT48's Himura Hino-san is in the last group.
That's the group.
I see.
This is also a good group.
It's a good group.
Not all of them are high-toned.
But there are a lot of people with punchy voices.
Looking at the four groups as a whole,
I think it will be a crucial match for the famous match.
It was good, wasn't it?
Yes, it was good as a result.
Looking back at it as a whole, there was also a story about the famous match.
Which parts do you think are interesting?
There are a lot of people who have similar voices and favorite genres.
It's a battle in that.
I think it will be a serious one.
And among them, there are people who are skilled and people who scare new people.
I think it's a lot of fun to watch.
But it's not good to judge.
It's hard for people who can't read to judge.
But I'm happy about it.
Let's take a look at Twitter's opinions.
First of all, here it is.
Hino-chan, it must be difficult to sing in front of Ikeda-san,
but do your best to be a finalist!
That's Ikeda-san's cheering voice.
But you're good at singing in front of Ikeda-san.
That's right.
We sing together, so you might be able to relax.
Let's move on to the next opinion.
Here it is.
I want you to win this time for sure, Okada Nana!
Yes.
I've been training as a candidate for the championship.
Well, the result is good for the preliminary round.
So I think you can aim for the championship.
Your enthusiasm and comments are very...
Well, it might be this time as well, but I can feel your enthusiasm.
No, no, I'm always more enthusiastic than usual.
Well, I've been working on it since the second time.
I feel like it's getting better and better.
That may be the case.
Now, it's decided!
