2022, AKB48 Rehabilitation Time.
I have a strong feeling that I have no choice but to win.

I will also be hosting this event. I'm Shinohara Rina, a TVS announcer.
Thank you for having me.
Now, it's time for the fourth tournament.
The singer with the most attractive singing voice in the AKB48 Group will be decided today.
Tonight, 92 people have successfully passed the preliminary round.
These 20 people will compete for the singing power No. 1 in this stage and live band.
Now, I'd like to hear from some of you.
First place winner, Nara Okada, how do you feel?
Thank you for having me.
I've been to all three final tournaments in Akasaka.
But this is my first time to host a final tournament on Maihama Amphitiata.
I'm very nervous.
I feel like I'm being watched from all directions.
I'm nervous, too.
In other words, please tell me your goal.
My goal is first place.
However, there is a jinx that those who have passed first in the qualifying round cannot become first in the final round,
and I'm afraid of that, so I will do my best.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Next, Ikeda Yura, who was second in the qualifying round, will aim for first place.
Yes, I'm Ikeda Yura.
Thank you very much.
Yes, I've been participating in this favorite competition in a row since last year and this year,
so I'd like to do my best.
Thank you for your cooperation.
And third in the qualifying round is Yamasaki Amir.
Yes.
Your graduation has also been announced.
This is your last appearance.
How do you feel?
Yes, I'm an idol who has grown up with this competition,
so I'd like to make this competition a competition where you can enjoy it from the bottom of your heart and sing for those who are listening.
Of course, I'm aiming for first place.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Finally, how about Honoka Yano of stu48, who was fourth in the qualifying round?
Well, I'm really nervous about this talking time, so I want to sing as soon as possible.
Yes.
Thank you for your cooperation today.
Thank you for your cooperation.
And from each group, members are coming to support you.
Let me introduce you.
First of all, Chimio Mukai from akb48.
Yes, thank you for your cooperation.
This time, eight people are participating from akb48, so I'd like to see someone win.
Good luck!
Next, from ske48, Ego Yuna.
Yes, thank you.
Today, I'm participating from ske48 alone,
so I feel like I'm participating in a class,
but I'd like to send power from the audience.
Good luck!
Thank you.
Next, from nmb48, Maeda Reiko.
Thank you.
nmb48, let's definitely reach the top!
Good luck!
Next, from hkt48, Koujina Yui.
Yes, thank you.
Both of you, Aki-chan and Ele-chan, might be nervous,
but if you look around, there might be some fans who are shy,
so please relax and have fun!
I'm rooting for you!
Next, from ngt48, Fujisaki Miyu.
Yes, I'm Fujisaki Miyu.
Thank you.
From ngt48, Hino Mimura is participating alone,
and I'm sure there's a lot of pressure,
but all of the members of ngt are rooting for you, so good luck!
Thank you.
Lastly, from stu48, Chiho Ishida.
Yes, thank you.
Last time, Yura Ikida won,
and this time too, I'm rooting for stu48 to do well!
Good luck!
Thank you!
Everyone, until the end, please send some encouragement to your friends!
Now, let me introduce you to the judges of this tournament.
First of all, Kaoru Kurosawa of GOSPERERS, who was in charge of judging the final tournament in three consecutive tournaments and gave us a group draw for this tournament.
Good evening, everyone.
No matter how many times I do it, I can't get used to it.
Maybe I'm the most nervous.
Good luck, everyone.
Thank you for your support.
Next, it's been ten years since their major debut this year.
In March, they will hold a solo concert at the Nippon Budokan.
The singer is Ms. Oja.
Thank you for your support. I'm Ms. Oja.
Good luck, everyone.
Thank you very much.
And from the first round to the final tournament,
Mr. Yoshimasa Inoue, the composer of many famous songs of the akb48 group, has been born.
Hello, I'm Yoshimasa Inoue.
"Homemade Cookie" is not my song.
This is my fourth time judging, so I hope I can score points without getting lost.
Good luck, everyone.
Thank you for your support.
Finally, in this tournament's qualifying judging,
Ms. Matsutoya Yumi and Ms. Kinki Kitsu will participate as chorus.
In addition, Ms. Ami, a singer-songwriter who also conducts vocal training for Nogizaka 46 and Fischer's.
Yes, I'm Ami. Thank you for your support.
I'm very honored to be able to participate again from the qualifying round.
I hope you can perform without regret.
I would like to judge while praying for you.
Thank you for your support.
Today, these four people will judge the final tournament.
Thank you for your support.
Mr. Sakurosa, the final tournament is about to start. What do you think of it?
I think it's technically the best in the past.
However, being a singer is quite a difficult job.
For example, in a drama, you have to sing for one take.
In a movie, you have to sing for two hours.
You have to do it in a few minutes.
So, technically speaking, you can only do it in order to complete the story.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of stories each of you will tell us.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of stories you will tell us with your singing voice.
Please express yourself as much as you can.
Please express yourself as much as you can with your singing voice.
Good luck!
Thank you very much!
Now, I'd like all of you to stand by for singing.
Thank you.
Now I will explain the rules of this tournament.
The rules will be explained by the AKB48 Group Sports Day and Rock-paper-scissors Tournament's MC for live streaming,
DJ and narrator, Nobutake Ichikawa.
Ichikawa-san, please.
Thank you for having me.
Thank you.
Now I will explain the rules of this tournament.
Now we will be divided into four groups and have a singing test.
Judges will be rated with full marks,
and two of the groups with the highest scores will advance to the finals.
The members who advance to the finals will be presented with one more song.
In the final singing test, the member with the highest score will win.
The member with the lowest score will win.
And for the member who wins,
Yasushi Akimoto-sensei will produce an original solo song.
In addition to the original solo song,
the eight members who advance to the finals will perform in a full band.
A finalist live will also be held.
There is also a special award for judges in this tournament.
In the final tournament, one of the eight members who did not make it to the finalists
will receive a special award from the judges.
The members who are chosen will perform in a finalist live.
Now, let's hear from the cheering guest member, Mukaichi-san.
How do you feel about this kind of live performance?
Yes, I'm really happy about it.
For me, it's a dream stage that I can never stand on,
so I'm really envious of a live performance where only the chosen ones can sing.
Well then, everyone, please pray and cheer for us over there.
Thank you for your support.
Now, it looks like the singers are ready.
with the hashtag #akb48singerpowerno.1 and tweet us.
Now, who will be the singer of this competition?
First of all, the first group, five singer judges.
The first group, AKB48 Ohtake Hitomi.
On the day we exchanged kisses, I couldn't even see my mother's face.
I collected love in my pocket and counted our dreams one by one.
Look, that's our secret memory.
Hey, where did it break?
We stared at each other as the sun set.
We held our fingers together, love friends.
I felt like time would stop.
Where did it break, love friends?
We stared at each other as the sun set.
We held our fingers together, love friends.
I felt like time would stop.
We'll never go back, love friends.
We looked farther than anyone else.
We always ran, love friends.
I love those eyes of yours.
First group. Second member is...STU-48 SIMIZU SARA!
The voice of the stars fading into the night sky
The light blue moon shining in the dawn
The sea we swam together
Why does it change color suddenly?
I want to feel you again, who I don't want to forget.
If you're lonely,
I can't even stay by your side,
If you know the pain of losing,
you can grasp other people's love.
That's what I pray for.
When you're in pain, remember me.
A place we can lean on, on a distant summer day.
Warmth, life, joy - in every heart.
First group, third place is...
AKB48 Murayama Yuiri.
In this repeating world, how many times I reach out my hand
Will my fleeting tears melt your black heart?
If my feelings for you start to resound in my heart
I'll stay by your side and protect you forever
If I pick up the fallen hope and connect it to tomorrow
Even my twisted wishes will come true
Holding up the light, I erased my hesitation
What I wanted to give you was a crying night in the future
As I cry, I scream my grief
The thread of time gently heals my trampled footsteps
Holding tight to my certain hope, I move forward
I'll carry this dirty miracle with me wherever I go
If you could tell me the reason I'm here now
I can be stronger, as always
Holding up the light, I erased my hesitation
What I wanted to give you was
A future where you could cry while blooming in the night
Screaming your grief
Stepping in, my ideals gently burn up
Grasping firmly onto a certain bond and moving forward
Anywhere
When you get lost, open your eyes
Shake them off, reach out your hand
And carry this dirty miracle with you
First group, fourth member is...
NMB48 Re Shion!
When I flew away, you said you wouldn't come back
And you aimed for that blue, blue sky
I still can't remember the sadness
But now I'm starting to feel the pain
The feelings I asked you for
Are now turning into words
I wake up from a dream of an unknown world
I spread my wings and fly away
But you aimed for that white, white cloud
I know you'll find me if I push through
I still can't remember the sadness
But now I'm starting to feel the pain
I knew it would fade away
But even so, I'll keep chasing after the light
I said I couldn't get out, but what I looked for were white, white clouds of love
The more I know I'll get caught if I get through, the more I'll get over it
That blue, blue sky
The first group, fifth member is...
STU-48...
Yano Honoka!
The long road that leads to your heart
has always encouraged me.
It was a very, very steep and narrow road,
and now I'm going to pick you up.
Making my own big dream come true
has always been my job,
and making you happy is
the sign of my life from now on.
When your eyes overflowed with tears, knowing of love.
The joy of love is but a thread that runs through the harshness of love.
Standing in the wind, you finally found it.
From now on you are just a woman.
From now on I am just a man.
The first group of five people's singing evaluation is over.
It was amazing.
I was already impressed.
Wow...
It was this high level from the beginning.
Yes.
I got goosebumps.
Now, I would like to hear from you all.
How was it, Otake-san, being a top batter?
Yes!
Well, being a top batter doesn't make me nervous at all.
It's amazing!
I had a lot of fun.
At first, I thought we were going to be quiet,
but our fans were so warm and looked out for us.
Thank you!
I had a lot of fun.
Thank you very much.
First of all, thank you for your hard work.
Next up is STU48's Shimizu Sara-san.
How was it?
I practiced really hard for today,
and I was moved by this beautiful penlight.
I'm glad I sang well.
Thank you very much.
Thank you!
Next up is AKB48's Yuri Murayama-san.
How was it?
I was really nervous, but I had a lot of fun
because I wanted to enjoy the warmth of our fans and the luxury of being in a live band.
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
Next up is NMB48's Sion-san.
Thank you for your hard work.
I wasn't as nervous as I was during rehearsal.
I'm nervous because I'm being watched by our fans.
I was able to enjoy being watched, and I had a lot of fun when we clapped together.
Thank you for your hard work!
Last one, stu48 yanohonoka.
Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you!
When I first saw you, I thought you were round, but when I sang, you were very comfortable.
Thank you!
Now, we will ask the judges.
How was it, Kurosawa-san?
I think all five of you were weaving stories of songs.
Murayama Yuri-san, you had a great sense of rhythm.
Thank you!
It's a very good point.
And yanohonoka-san, you didn't just stretch out your voice when you sang.
Actually, it's a song that includes a silent relief, but you sang until you were relieved.
It was wonderful.
Thank you!
Each of you is wonderful, and I really don't like that we have to rank you.
So we'll give you a rank this time, but make sure you try again.
Even if you don't make it to the preliminaries, please try again.
That's what you think, right?
It was wonderful.
Thank you, Kurosawa-san!
Next up is miso-ja-san. How was it?
I came here without any prior information at all.
I'm surprised at your high level.
Thank you for letting me hear such a wonderful song.
Shimizu Sara-san, you're very cute.
You're 15 years old and you're very cute.
You sang with such a firm voice and gave us such a powerful performance.
The atmosphere of the venue changed a lot.
Thank you!
It was wonderful.
Thank you!
Now we'll talk about the members in the back seats.
STU48 Ishida Chiho-san, how was it?
Everyone was so wonderful, but STU48's Shimizu Sara- chan and Yano Honoka-chan
were very different from how they usually are.
You made me burn out!
It was wonderful!
Thank you!
Next up is AKB48's Mukaichi Mion. How did you like it?
Yes, it was really wonderful.
Especially Chake, when I saw her for the first time, I thought she was nervous, but she was really enjoying singing.
I think that's why the atmosphere at the venue was so excited.
And in the middle of Yuiri-chan's singing, I was about to cry.
It was really wonderful!
Thank you!
And with that, we have come to the first group of singing judges.
Everyone, once again, please give them a big round of applause!
All right, let's go back to the under-evaluation. Next up is the second group of five people!
The second group. First up is HKT48, Elena Sakamoto.
Thank you for watching.
♪ Natsukashii ♪ I miss you
I forgot
But when I saw you
Only time was left behind
Don't ask me if I'm happy
I'm not good at lying
I do have friends
But I can't burn up like that
The only dream I've lost
Looks so beautiful
For some reason, it's all in the past
Kindness is now
A sweet memory
Ushinatta yume dake ga utsukushiku mieru no wa naze kashira
Sugisatta yasashisa no ima wa amai kiroku
Sweet memory
Second place goes to STU-48 Kojima Aiko.

AKB48 Asai Nanami.
Every time I remember a word I don't know, I reach out my hand to it. shiranai kotoba wo oboete iku tabi, obokage no naka, te wo nobasu no. But alone,
Maybe goodbye is dark, aishiteru na, tooi nioi ga shita. Goodbye was dark, I love you, it smelled far away. sayonara wa kurokute, aishiteru na, tooi nioi ga shita. This indescribable feeling is scary, but it's also very dear to me.

STU-48 IMAMURA MITSUKI.
I still haven't received my phone call, and I still haven't received my e-mail either, hi!
I can't run away from love's big train!
It's already too late, I'm about to cry
You're a super sexy boy
I know it's no good, but I'm waiting for your sign
The other way around, goodbye

Second group, fifth member, NMB48 Yamasaki Amir.
I never thought of you as a friend
Since the day I met you
Some things have changed
But the things that haven't changed
Are you and me
Until I couldn't see your hot way home
Until you became really small
I loved you
Even now, even now
Summer hair and smiling face
As I grow older, I'll remember
Your shadow and my words
Your love, your love
Until I couldn't see the hot way back home
Until I was really small, I watched you
I loved you
Even now, even now
Your face when you cried, your face when you got angry,
Your lips when you touched them all of a sudden,
I swore that I'd be by your side.
You love, you love, ah ah
I love...
The second group of singer screening is over.
Everyone is coming back to the stage.
Thank you for your hard work.
Now, I would like to listen to your story as well.
The second group, top butter, Mr. Sakamoto.
Yes.
Thank you for your hard work.
How was it?
Well, it's amazing, I wonder what it is.
This is my fourth time this year,
but it's amazing that I was able to fuse my tension and fun in a good way and sing.
It's amazing that it's such a wide venue and the air is so warm.
Singing on such a wonderful stage makes me happy, and I was able to sing. Thank you very much.
Next, Ms. Kojima Aiko, how was it?
Yes.
After last year, I was told not to be nervous in this place.
But I felt like I could sing with my heart,
and I felt like I could sing while having fun for the first time today.
Thank you very much.
Next, Ms. Asai Nanami, thank you for your hard work.
Yes, thank you very much.
Well, I thought that this venue is the only place where I can't change anything.
I was really nervous and made a mistake,
but I think I was able to convey my feelings through singing,
and I had a really fun time. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work.
Next, Ms. Mitsuki Imamura of STU48, thank you for your hard work.
Yes, thank you very much. I'm Mitsuki Imamura of STU48.
Thank you very much.
Last year, I was in the cheering seat and saw everyone's activities,
but this time I was able to come to the stage like this,
and I think I was able to sing in my own way because I wanted to enjoy the stage as much as possible.
Thank you very much.
And for this second group, the last one was Amir Yamasaki. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
Well, I'm really relieved now.
After all, no matter how many times I stand up, I'm really nervous because the atmosphere is really tense.
But when I started singing, the fans' penlights were really bright red and I was really relieved.
I enjoyed singing. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
Then I would like to ask the judges for their opinions as well.
Inoue-san, what did you think of it?
Yes.
Imamura-san, do you sing at a restaurant every day?
A restaurant?!
I enjoyed it so much that I thought I'd go there.
Oh, really?! Please go there.
I'm really good at it, but I can't run away from it because of the rhythm.
I was trying not to sing well on purpose, but the judges know it.
Thank you very much.
In that sense, Yamasaki-san, you always chose songs like "You're good at singing", right?
This year, you didn't do it on purpose.
You chose songs like "Buy me your original album", right?
I'm glad you made that decision.
Thank you very much. Please buy it for me.
Congratulations on your release date.
Right, everyone? I made a little mistake, but you're able to sing in various voices now.
Yes.
You know, you've grown in height.
I'm nervous.
You've been singing for years now, but I'm happy you've grown.
I'll do my best.
It's okay.
See you next year.
I don't know if it'll be this year.
Thank you, Inoue-san.
How about you, Ami-san?
Yes, it's the same for the previous group, but everyone's level has increased dramatically.
It's hard to give scores, isn't it?
Kojima-san's nervousness was released in the chorus.
I wish I could give you that feeling from the beginning.
At the end, only the song remains, doesn't it?
Yes.
It was very good.
Thank you very much.
Then I would like to talk to the people in the back seats as well.
Maeda Reiko-san, how was it?
Yes, everyone is really amazing and I can't stop getting excited.
But Yamasaki Amiru-chan, since this tournament is your last appearance,
you really put all your feelings into the song.
I was very moved.
Thank you.
Now, that was the second group of singer judges.
Everyone, please give them a big round of applause once again!
Now, let's go back to the under-evaluation. Next up is the third group of five people!
The third group. First up is Kato Yuka of NMB48!
♪ (piano music)
(singing in foreign language)
I can forget you right away
I lock you up in my heart and look for you
You were blooming next to this road
All alone, you shine brightly and strongly
As if you knew that someday you'd meet
You're living in this fleeting moment called "now"
Hiding in the shadows of the cherry blossoms that were about to wither away,
The white fairy gently swayed.
I want to be a flower that blooms alone, like a bouquet of flowers that bloomed along such a road.
Even if I get soaked in the rain, I won't change where I bloom.
When the next spring comes again, I want to see you.
At that time, I became stronger than I am now.
Third place and second place goes to...
AKB48 ERINA ODA!
THE END
I was a little impatient that you might have called me out of the blue
and called me from behind my back, but it was correct.
When you started talking to me,
you made my ears feel hot.
I was so happy that I covered my mouth with my right hand.
I was so embarrassed that I laughed so many times.
My emotions shake beyond my will.
I wanted to call you back, but I couldn't.
These words hurt me.
I wanted to call you back, but if I call you that much, will you not like it?
How many times does it enter my body?
One day, one day, even if time passes by,
will you not say those loving words that color my heart?
Even now, even if you still think of me like that,
then goodbye.
The third and final team is...
AKB48 Taguchi Manaka.
Good morning. It's morning.
It's morning, or rather it's already noon, but...
It's about time for me to go now.
Thank you for everything.
It was fun.
Bye-bye.
Look at me for the last time.
I was walking with my mouth open because I was tearing up,
but I didn't want to die because you were laughing at me and saying it hurt so much.
Kindness...
Even though saying goodbye is painful, even though tears well up in my eyes, I can't forget you.
I wanted to say goodbye to you like this, even though I knew it would be too late.
Even though tears well up in my eyes, I didn't want to know it.
I can't forget the happiness you gave me.
I can't forget you. I can't forget you.
Thank you for watching and please like and subscribe!
In third place and fourth place is...
SKY48 FURUHATA, NAO!
Please have pity on me
Please give me sadness like gently touching a fallen little bird
Tear up and look down and say you feel sorry for me
Even if I stumble at the tip of my shoes, I don't mind
Even if I get dirty, I don't mind
Take my muddy hands and become sticky and let's dance
Let's eat up all of your annoying worries
It's better if you can't stand it
It's painful, isn't it?
It's not enough for you, is it?
It's painful, isn't it?
I couldn't say "goodbye" to the disappearing bird.
I tried to hide my love with little gestures.
Lie, lie, it's a lie, not a lie, it's painful.
I'm hurt so much.
I want to go to a gentle world with anyone.
Let's melt into one.
Let's take away hatred and love.
In the sweet, sweet pot of confusion.
Only sadness and pain pile up.
Let's break our wishes.
They're only lies now.
Our bonds are tied.
Even the scars of distant spring days
will disappear.
Eventually, in a sparkling dream,
the light that will collapse will reach you.
Stay by my side with eyes and words that are dazzling and unable to stop my tears.
Don't let go of my muddy hands.
Just stay by my side forever.
Don't let go of me.
I just love you forever.
Third place and fifth place goes to...
AKB48, STU48, Nana Okada!
The fairy tale seems to have died out
In the hospital of fate
On a misty night, on a red moon that floats in the sky
Look at me, don't turn your eyes away
I was born amidst a mad iron cage
Before you wish for a price for your evil deeds
Come, give me justice
Before you destroy me
Pay the price for your evil deeds
Let's go together, nameless monster
God tells us about a true world.
I was born in a black iron cage.
Before I wish for a price for my evil deeds,
let me offer you justice.
Before you destroy me and destroy me,
let me pay for my sins.
I'm a worthless monster without a name.
Black rain falls in this sky.
I'm not wanted.
I'm broken.
Let me offer you justice.
I'm a worthless monster without a name.
Accept me.
Let's go together.
I'm a worthless monster without a name.
Now, the third group's singing assessment is over.
Yes.
Thank you for your hard work.
Now, let's hear from everyone.
This group's top batter is Kato-san. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work.
How was it?
Yes. I've been participating in this competition every time, but I stopped in the preliminaries and was able to participate in the final round for the first time.
I was able to sing with such a wonderful scenery and live band members four times.
I'm glad I didn't give up and came here.
Thank you very much.
Now, let's hear from AKB48's Oda Erina-san.
Thank you for your hard work.
How was it?
It was a lot of fun.
Yes. Thank you very much.
I sang Aiko-san's song, but I wanted to be Aiko- san, so I brought my hair closer to Aiko-san.
That's right.
So, I sang hard today with the feeling of becoming Aiko-san.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work.
Next, let's hear from AKB48's Taguchi Manaka-san.
Thank you for your hard work.
It was my first time standing on this stage, and I was so absorbed in the world view that I wasn't nervous anymore when I started performing.
My hands were shaking while I was singing, and I felt again how amazing this place is.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
I hope you were okay.
I hope I can tell you about my life so you won't leave me behind.
Thank you very much.
Lastly, A.K.A.B48, S.T.U.48 and Okada Nana, thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
I'm so nervous when I'm in a group.
I'm so nervous I could die.
I think I was the most nervous I've ever been.
I'm sure you felt that tension.
I'm reflecting on that.
I sang very comfortably. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Now I'd like to ask the judges.
Mr. Crosser, how was it?
I think this third group has their own style.
I think you were able to show your own style.
It says "merihari obake" on the back cover.
The song "merihari" is amazing.
Okada Nana, you could have chosen a song that you could hear better.
To be honest, the melody is extremely low.
It's an ugly song.
But you made it your own with the chorus "merihari" and perfect rhythm.
I thought it was great.
Thank you very much.
It was fun to listen to.
Ms. Oja, how did you like it?
Yes, I was able to listen to a wonderful song.
I thought Ms. Manaka Taguchi's expression was amazing.
From the beginning of the line, I was drawn in.
There were mistakes and pitches that were off,
but I was drawn into the world so much that I didn't care about it.
I thought you were an artist and listened to you.
Thank you very much.
Now, I'd like to talk to the audience as well.
SKE48's Ego Yuna, how did you like it?
Yes, I was nervous as I watched,
but it wasn't just my imagination.
I felt like everyone in the venue was drawn into Nao's world view.
I was very proud of it.
Regardless of whether we're in the same group or in the same season,
it was a performance that made me want to listen to a good song.
Yes, it was very wonderful.
I was moved.
Thank you very much.
Now, that was the third group of singing judges.
Please give them a big round of applause.
And now for the final singer review. The last group is the fourth group of five.
The first singer of the fourth group is HKT48 Toyonaga Aki.
The song is called "Toyonaga Aki" and it's based on the novel "Toyonaga Aki".
The song was written and composed by Toyonaga Aki.
I walk on a white road that hasn't been dyed dark yet.
The light in my heart can't point to the future no matter what I do.
Even my cold and closed heart keeps shining small and strong.
My feelings, my sadness, send them to me with a bright smile.
To the eastern horizon, high up in the sky, to the dawn far, far away.
In the dark sky, the dawn gave me a single ray of light in silence.
Fourth place and second place goes to...
AKB48 Iwatate Saho!
I've kept feelings more than friends in my heart
But my heart can't lie anymore
It's so painful
Hiding in your sudden gestures
I confirm your feelings
For a long time, I couldn't say it
Perhaps you feel the same way as me
I can faintly hear the street noise
There are only two of us in this room
Your favorite coffee and the scent of cigarettes
Hide my faint feelings
Just being gentle isn't enough
I want to tell you the truth
Even if the world ends tomorrow
As long as you're here, I'm not afraid
Throw away the tears and lies from yesterday
And become a new me
This warm bond
Won't make any mistakes
It's the shape of love
I've been looking for your love
So we found the way, yeah
Love...
Fourth and third places go to...
AKB48 Maho Omori.
No matter how many times I realize it, it's still overwhelming.
Now that I realize it, I've never been in love before.
Even if I pretend I know everything, for some reason I go around in circles
Without thinking, I just let it pass, and I thought that was fine
I thought I had to change something
"You're always running away," I was shot at
Countless nights I spend alone, over and over again
Now that I realize it, I've never been in love before
In this fading city, I catch love
Ecstasy
Is it because you can't do it that you're taking it easy?
Is it impossible for you to run away from the beginning?
It's not like that, is it?
With such a dirty window, I just can't see anything
Now I can't see anything
Why did you come? You already know, don't you?
Many times, I spent nights alone, over and over again
Now that I've realized it, I've never been in love
In this decaying city, love is captured
Ecstasy... Ecstasy...
Fourth and fourth place is NGT48 Hino Mimura!
Live high in hope
God forgave me that love is everything
When I was young and full of courage, my dream was shining
I flew freely and chased after joy
Dreams are nightmares
Wolves' fangs are the destination of hope
Dreams eat strawberries
I'm still waiting for that person's return
A foolish illusion, a small storm blows away
A dream-like life, now fall into hell
Never again will my dream return to me
Fourth and fifth places go to...
STU-48 IKEDA YURA!
As usual, the curtain rises and I sing a love song.
The message I received had a black cover.
I left it at the station where you stopped three years ago.
I was alone in the moving train.
As I stood in front of the church in the afternoon of a sunny day,
I had no words to pray for.
In a dark city meeting room, I have no one to talk to.
My song passes through your ears.
As always, a curtain opens and a light falls down.
Even so, I am singing my love song again today.
Now, the 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round, the 4th group singing screening is over.
First of all, everyone, thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
The top batter was Ms. Toyonaga. Thank you for your hard work.
Last year, I was the overall top batter, so I wondered if I would be the top batter in a row.
I was very happy to be able to sing again in the office theater where I participated in this finalist live.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work.
Ms. Iwatate Suzuki, thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
This was my first final round, so my hands were shaking all the time when I was singing.
Some of you may have noticed it, but I was so nervous.
But I think I was able to do everything I wanted to do in this environment that is different from usual, so it was a lot of fun.
Thank you very much.
Next up is Ms. Omori. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work. Thank you very much.
I was really nervous, but I'm very satisfied because I was able to sing my favorite song.
Thank you for your hard work.
Next up is Ms. Mimura. Thank you for your hard work.
Yes, I'm Mimura Hino. Thank you very much.
I sang a musical called "Demiserable" in which I played the role of Yume Yaburete.
I hope I was able to bring you all into this world of Yume Yaburete.
It was a lot of fun. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
The last one is STU48 Yura Ikeda. Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
I'm the 20th out of 20 people.
I'm glad I could sing it all. Thank you very much.
Now let's hear from the judges. Inoue-san, what did you think of it?
Yes, well, Toyonaga-san...
Yes.
Anyway, I heard a lot of other people's expressions earlier.
But like, this lively voice and all...
I think it goes well with your expressions.
Is it the same for everyone? Is it the same for you, Mimura-san?
Yes.
Of course you have a lot of expression, but anyway, your pronunciation is good.
Thank you very much.
Even though it's "ii", it resonates.
I don't know if it resonates with "aa", but "ii" is big.
Thank you very much.
Yes.
Also, Iwatate-san said she was nervous, but it tickles a man's heart.
Even though you're singing and dancing like this, I want to go to karaoke with you.
Thank you very much. I'm glad.
Does anyone know how to make you look like Ito Tsukasa?
You know, right?
Yes.
Also, Ikeda-san, you make me look like Chiaki Naomi, right?
Thank you very much.
Anyway, you have a lot of voice.
So, when you sing this song in the future,
if you have a little more experience of dying,
well, it might not be a good experience,
but if you can sing without losing your voice, I thought it would be better.
Thank you very much.
Next, how about you, Ami-san?
Yes, everyone was good in their own way,
but Ikeda-san...
Even your breath is part of the song,
so you don't bring back what you're listening to.
I felt that kind of power.
But you look like a very cute girl,
but your singing ability is amazing,
so my eyes and ears are about to explode.
Thank you very much.
I'd like to hear from the audience as well.
HKT48, Kojina, thank you for your hard work. How was it?
Yes, each one of you is really different and I think you're really wonderful.
Aki-chan's song fits Aki-chan's atmosphere perfectly, and your serious personality is completely in the song and has been conveyed.
Thank you for your hard work.
And NGT48 Fujisaki-san, how was it?
Yes, Hino-chan, who was participating from NGT48, and Hino's facial expressions and singing,
all of Hino's feelings were spread throughout the venue and it was really cool.
It was wonderful.
Thank you.
Fujisaki-san's tears were also impressive.
That was the fourth group of singing judges. Everyone, once again, please give them a big round of applause!
Now we have finished all of the singing judges.
Judge Kurosawa-san, how was it?
It was really high level.
To be honest, I don't want to rank all of the judges.
I think it would be better if we all did the finalist live.
But I couldn't do that, so I tried my best to rank them.
But for me personally, there are many people who are the same.
So we four tried our best to choose.
I hope you don't complain about it.
And I hope the people who came out today will come out again next time.
The people who come out every time and the people who come out for the first time.
We were all facing the song.
As a singer, I was very happy.
Thank you very much.
Now, two of each four groups will be ranked high.
Eight of them will advance to the final.
Now we will collect the singing judges.
In the meantime, please take a look at the singing scene in the qualifying round of 20 members who will appear today.
I'm sure you'll make a gap.
You know, I love you.
Every time you spread in my heart,
love overflows and tears spill.
The rule called "friendship" is a very difficult game.
I won't get in their way again.
Staring at the top of the world, I'll kick it into space
Your voice, your face, your awkwardness
All of it, all of it, I don't hate it
Like a dry flower, the days I spent with you
Will surely, surely, surely, surely fade away
Tomorrow, I feel like I can go back to how I was
Looking up at the sky, don't say goodbye
Tonight, I'm falling into a dream again
When we sing the same song, stay by my side
I wish...
I'm glad I met your uncool kindness
I'm being washed away by the crowd and I'm changing
Sometimes you scold me from afar
I'm being blocked by your kindness
Before I know it, my empty heart is being filled
The casual gesture of a sudden moment
I want to keep staring and smiling at your face that talks about dreams someday
Darling, I want you, I want to see you
I feel like I'm about to run into my throbbing love
You stand there as if you're lost
I want you to reach me right away
Look at me more closely
Those words were too heavy for you
Look at me more closely
If you hadn't said those words, I wonder if you'd be here now
I was the one who cried, the constellations of winter that were connected
I was staring at you like you were disappearing from this sky
The days without you and this helpless laziness
My heart and my body are fighting and I can't rely on you, so I fall down
You, who seemed like a cat to me, appear before me one day
Please dye my casual days in your color
You're everything
Stronger than you think
If it's a gentle lie, I don't need it
What I want is you
Thinking of you, ah, ah, ah
Even on nights without you, I can't even cry anymore
Because I'm doing my best, because I'm getting stronger
I'll take your hand
I love you
My, my time
Oh goodbye days, now I feel like I'm changing
From yesterday until now, so long
Because there's no cool kindness by my side
La la la la la with you
I was looking for something that wouldn't change
I won't forget you of that day
There are feelings that transcend time
Right now, I want to see you
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
My patience
Someday, I hope my endless waves will stop properly
I hope my love with you will last for a hundred years
Your voice, your face, your awkwardness, everything, everything is beautiful, isn't it?
I want to see the days with you like a dry flower
I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure it will fade away
This is a live broadcast from Maihama Uncle Theater.

And the first place, second place...
STU48's Sara Shimizu!
Congratulations, Yano Hodoka and Sara Shimizu!
Thank you!
Now, let's hear what they have to say.
The first place goes to Yano!
When I first heard about STU48...
I wanted to be in this group with just the two of us.
I thought it didn't matter which group I was in.
But when I heard about it and was relieved, I was very happy.
I'm glad.
And the second place goes to STU48's Shimizu!
I'm very happy!
I will do my best!
Judges Kurosawa-san, these two have advanced from the first group to the final.
Yes, STU is strong, after all.
Both of you had a completely different approach to singing, but both of you were great, so I'm satisfied with the result.
The final is also the final, or rather, it remains in the last eight, so I'm looking forward to the second song.
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Let's ask the cheering seats. STU48 Chiho Ishida- san, how was it?
I'm very happy! Really!
I've always had strong feelings for you two in this final round, so I'm really happy!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Now, from the first group, STU48's two people, Yano Honoka-san and Shimizu Sara-san have advanced to the final. Please give them a big hand!

I'll announce them now.
From the second group, first place goes to...
STU48's...
Mitsuki Imamura!
And the second place goes to...
HKT48, Elena Sakamoto!
And now, Sakamoto and Imamura have advanced to the finals.
First of all, both of you looked surprised when you advanced to the finals.
STU48 Imamura, what did you think?
Well, I was really surprised.
I'm standing here today because the judges chose me.
But I'm glad I was able to show my true self.
I'm really happy. Thank you!
Congratulations!
And the second place goes to HKT48, Elena Sakamoto!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Well...
When I finished singing and started talking,
no one touched me.
I thought it was over and I was really depressed.
I was really surprised, but I'm glad I sang with confidence.
Thank you!
Congratulations!
And now, I'd like to ask the judges.
Ms. Oja, how did you like the two of you advancing to the finals?
Yes.
Imamura and Sakamoto in the second group,
when they came out and sang,
they did a very flowery performance.
So I'm satisfied.
I'm looking forward to the results.
Thank you!
How about you, Kojina of HKT48?
I'm very happy. I've been nervous all the time, and I'm happy that I'm finally getting older.
Congratulations and I'm happy.
So, from the second group, Mitsuki Imamura and Elena Sakamoto will advance to the finals. Please give them a big hand!
Next is the announcement of the two who will advance to the finals from the third group. Ichika, please.
Then I will announce it.
The third group to advance to the finals is...
SKY48, Nao Furuhata!
And the third group is...
AKB48 and STU48, Nana Okada!
So, they are in the same first place. Nao Furuhata and Nana Okada!
Congratulations to SKY48, Nao Furuhata!
Thank you!
Is it okay to say that I didn't leave you behind?
Is that proof? Thank you very much!
I didn't think we would be in the same place together.
I don't think so.
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
I will do my best after this. Thank you!
Congratulations!
And in first place, Nana Okada!
I'm really happy. I'm grateful for being in first place.
And I'm grateful for being able to sing one more song.
I will do my best until the very end. Thank you!
And the judges, Inoue-san.
How did it feel to advance to the final with these two in first place?
Well...
It's hard for me to rate you two.
But you know, Furuhata...
She used to be a very good singer.
Even in recording.
She can do that.
But she can also do jump ropes.
So this time and the last time,
she challenged herself and had a lot of fun.
I think she's in first or second place.
I'm happy for you.
And you too, Manaka-chan.
You're part of the YOSES family.
Let's do our best again next year!
How about you, Mion Mukaichi of AKB48?
It was a shame to choose only two people for this third group.
But I'm very satisfied with the choice of you two.
Good luck in the finals!
Let's ask Yuna Ego of SKE48.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
I'm sorry I chose only you, Yuna.
I'll work hard to increase my rank.
I'm rooting for you. Thank you!
Thank you, Ego.
The first place in the third group is Nana Okada of Furuhata Nao.
Congratulations!
Please give her a big hand!
Lastly, we have two finalists from the fourth group.
Ichikawa-san, please.
I'll announce them now.
The first place in the fourth group is...
Yura Ikeda of STU48.
And the second place in the fourth group is...
Mibura Hino of NTT48.
Congratulations to STU48's Yura Ikeda, who has won first place.
Thank you very much.
I was very nervous and anxious because I felt different from the last competition.
But I'm very happy to be able to sing my second song again like this. I'll do my best!
Congratulations!
And the fourth place is NGT48's Mibura Hino. Congratulations!
Yes, I'm NGT48's Mibura Hino. Thank you very much!
This time, the qualifying round will pass.
I'm standing here because I was recommended by the judges at the end of my 20th year.
I was really frustrated at that time.
I thought it would be nice if I could do my best and do my best.
I'm really happy. I'll do my best for my second song. Thank you!
Congratulations!
Now, Ms. Naomi, the judges.
How about two finalists from this fourth group?
Yes, both Mr. Ikeda and Ms. Mibura were very wonderful.
After Ms. Mibura finished singing in the comments, she said she was able to draw them in.
Both of you showed me enough kindness and passion.
I'm really looking forward to your second song.
Thank you!
Please do your best!
Now, I'd like to ask you for your seats of support.
How about you, Ms. Fujisaki of NGT48?
Yes! Hino, congratulations!
Thank you!
I hope you will be drawn into Hino's world of singing and advance to the finals and fascinate everyone even more with Hino's world view in the next song.
Good luck! Congratulations!
Thank you!
Congratulations!

Then, I would like you to go back once.
Once again, eight people decided to advance to the final.
And unfortunately, we have been disbanded.
Please give a big applause to the twelve people who showed us their wonderful singing voices.
Thank you for your hard work.
My heart is full of emotions.
I agree with you.
Your level is so high that I'm overwhelmed.
Let's use this time to hear from the members.
Mukaichi, how do you like it so far?
Of course, STU is strong.
However, I'm the only finalist from AKB.
I hope I can win for the fourth time.
Good luck, Na-chan!
How about you, Eigo Yuna of SKE48?
I agree with you.
I've only heard the name "final" and I've been very nervous.
However, each and every one of you is drawn into a wonderful world.
It's like I'm at a live show and I'm enjoying it.
I thought you'd definitely be the lowest, but I hope you'll do your best.
Next, how about you, NMB48 Maeda Reiko?
All of you were so wonderful that it ended in a blink of an eye.
No one was able to advance to the final of NMB48,
but I think all three of you showed your charms to the fullest.
I'm going to drink a lot of beer later.
Next, HKT48 Yui Koujina, how was it?
This is the first and second time for me to be on the show.
It was my first time as a guest of support.
I came here with the intention of relaxing.
I was very nervous and excited when I saw it.
Eight members have been selected for the final.
I didn't want to be drawn into Nao's world view.
I wanted you to create your own world view.
Good luck!
Next, NGT48 Miyu Fujisaki, how was it?
This is the first time for me to be on this final night.
I thought the singing voices of those who advanced to the final were really amazing.
Recently, we haven't been able to do activities beyond the limits of the 48 groups.
I was really stimulated and thought it was amazing.
Hino from NGT is going to be the last one to participate in the final.
I think there will be pressure, but I hope you'll do your best.
Lastly, STU48 Chiko Ishida, how about you?
This is the first time for me to be at this venue.
I didn't think I'd be so nervous and excited.
I'm really looking forward to seeing a lot of STU48 members.
Everyone, the final will finally begin.
The members who advanced to the final and did the singing test with eight people and had the highest score will shine as the fourth singing princess.
Now, let's get to it!
The final singing judge of the 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Finals!
Final singing judge of the 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Finals!
The first singer is...
No. 1 singer of the 3rd AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Singer, SKE48, Nao Furuhata!
Ms. Furuhata.
Oh, no! I'm a little nervous!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry for asking you to go first!
I'm embarrassed! I feel like I'm singing in a good mood.
I'm sorry!
I'm embarrassed!
I'm going to sing the final song in this style.
It's my first time as a top batter. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
This is the second song.
Please face forward.
How do you feel now?
It's not easy for a top batter to win first place in a world contest.
I'm here to break that jinx and win first place.
I'll do my best.
Thank you very much.
Now, let's have Ms. Furuhata sing.
The song is "You".
Oh, it's a prank!
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry for the trouble we caused when we were concentrating.
Please wait a little longer, Ms. Furuhata. I'm sorry.
By the way...
Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for making the side rooms all green and blue.
By the way, is there anyone here who is a fan of Nao-chan?
Is there anyone here who is not a fan of Nao-chan, but forcibly and emotionally supports her?
Hey! That's weird!
You're an honest person!
You're an honest person, aren't you?
Oh, are you okay?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Thank you. I hope you enjoyed it.
Ms. Furuhata, thank you very much!
Thank you!
I'm really sorry for the trouble we caused!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
We're ready.
Now, let's have Furuhata-san sing for us.
The song is "You".
No one knows, no one now
I'm running now
Reach out your hand, if you can
No, no, no, no, I want to know you
I don't want love, cowardly head
Even if I try to meet you many times
No, no, no, no, I don't want it, I don't want it
When the sky was completely cut off,
it seemed like you were separated from the world.
If the scenery you see in your eyes makes you smile sadly,
then close your eyes without fear.
Now, everyone, please come over here.
Let's dance with our hearts.
Let's jump over the mirage
and overcome this absurd world.
La la lai la lai, I wish for love that won't stop.
Until the night when time is over,
la la lai la lai, I want to know you.
I don't want anyone to wait for me
so that I won't be left with a handful of medicine.
Even if fate is cruel,
and I can't resist it,
and I can't see what's ahead of me,
even if I close my eyes without fear,
Would you like to believe me, too,
if you dance and dance as you like?
Now, everyone, please come over here.
Let's dance with our hearts.
If the scenery you see in your eyes makes you smile sadly,
then close your eyes without fear.
Now, everyone, please come over here.
Let's dance with our hearts.
If the scenery you see in your eyes makes you smile sadly,
then close your eyes with your heart.
Let's jump over the mirage
and overcome this absurd world.
La la lai la lai, I wish for love that won't stop.
I'm going to bet my life on it
Even if you help me, please help me
I can't do it, I can't do it, I want to know you
I can't love you
Even if I try to greet you again and again
If it's a dream, don't close your eyes
Because reality doesn't have a body or a song
No one can wait for me
Thank you very much, Ms. Kuruhata Nao!
Ms. Flan, may I ask you a few questions?
I'm sorry, this is a top batter, and we have various purposes, I'm sorry.
I'd like to ask you about your impressions of the song's ending.
Well, I've seen a lot of things happening, but...
I'd like to add a little more score there...
Just a little, just a little...
It's not often you get a chance to sing while you're so nervous,
so I'm glad I enjoyed it.
Then I'd like to ask the judge, Mr. Kurosawa. How was it?
Um, for the first time... I've been a judge three times,
but for the first time, listening to the song, I couldn't stop getting goosebumps.
- Thank you. - Yes.
Um... well, in the first place, it's quite difficult to sing after having trouble,
but I was wondering if I should sing this performance there, and I was a little tongue-tied.
Um, her song is already...
It's got the right pitch, it's got a good rhythm, it's beyond that.
But it's beyond that, but...
You have to match the rhythm here, you have to match the pitch here,
you have to decide all of that.
So I think you're already at the next level.
- You were really great. - Thank you.
I'm happy.
- Now, that's it for Furuhata Nao's singing assessment. - Yes.
- Everyone, please give her a big hand. - Thank you.
Top batters, thank you for being in such a difficult situation.
Now, let's move on to the second singer assessment.
The second winner of the final singer evaluation is...
2nd group, 2nd place, HKT48, Elena Sakamoto!
Thank you for having me!
Now, let's hear from Sakamoto-san.
Please tell us about your thoughts on singing this song.
I really like this song.
Until now, I've chosen songs that suit my voice or songs that I can win against.
But this is the first time I'll be singing a song I've always liked and wanted to sing for a long time.
I hope I can sing this song with you all.
Now, let's hear from Sakamoto-san.
The song is "Blue Bird".
"Blue Bird" - Sakamoto Sakamoto
When dark clouds flow by, when this sky breaks up
With your voice, I wake up from a brief sleep
You gently watched over my back wings
Waiting for the season to take off
Let's go together to the blue sky
While looking down at my white smartphone
I don't need complicated stories
As long as you smile
You said and laughed at me
You gently watched over my back wings
Waiting for the season to take off
Let's go, while looking down at the white beach
I don't need a difficult story, as long as you smile for me
Let's go together to the blue sky, no matter where we end up
If you're hurt, I'll give you my wings
You cried a little as you left me
Without saying goodbye, I also cried
Thank you very much, Ms. Sakamoto!
Thank you!
What do you think of your performance?
It was great! I had a lot of fun! Thank you! I'm so happy!
How about you, Ms. Sakamoto?
Yes, it was a very flowery singing voice and performance.
It was a song that made me really happy and cheerful while watching it.
It was wonderful!
Thank you!
Now, that's all for Ms. Sakamoto's singing assessment.
Please give her a big hand!
Thank you!
Now, let's move on to the third singer assessment.
The third final singer assessment is...
First group, Secondary School, STU48, Sara Shimizu!
STU48, Sara Shimizu!
Now, Ms. Sara Shimizu...
Yes!
Before you sing, please tell us what you think of the song you will be singing.
Yes, I will sing with gratitude for all the fans who have supported me so far.
I will do my best!
Now, Ms. Shimizu, please sing for us.
The song is "How Far I'll Go".
I've been staring at the waves coming towards me all alone, not knowing a thing.
That's right, I want to live up to your expectations, but before I know it, I'm already at the sea.
No matter which path I take, I'll always end up at the same place.
I won't be forgiven for longing for a distant sea.
The place where sky and sea meet is so far away.
If I keep chasing and moving forward, I'm sure I'll know.
How far I can go.
That's right, everyone seems so happy.
Do you know that?
That's right, having your own place is such a wonderful thing, isn't it?
As I continue on this path, I hope for the same thing.
But the song that resonates in my heart is a song of blood.
That's right, I want to live up to your expectations, but before I know it, I'm already at the sea.
It's calling me, it's calling me to come and find me quickly.
Tell me, what is waiting for me there?
The place where the sky and the sea meet.
How far is it?
Keep chasing and run.
I'm sure I'll be there.
Thank you very much, Sara Shimizu.
How did you like singing it?
It was very pleasant. Thank you very much.
Now I'd like to ask the judges, Inoue-san, how did you like it?
I could see the sea of Setouchi.
You can't grow up in Tokyo like this.
Even with a voice like this, it was very pleasant. Thank you very much.
Now, that's all for Shimizu-san's singing assessment.
Everyone, please give him a big round of applause again.
It's getting to a ridiculous level, but let's continue.
Let's move on to the fourth singer assessment.
The fourth final singer assessment is...
First group, first place passers-by, STU48, Yano Honoka.
Yano Honoka, are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
Are you okay with your feet?
Yes, I'm okay.
Before you sing, please tell me how you feel now.
Yes, well...
I decided to sing this song after I won the final in the My Hometown Theater.
The song I'm going to sing now is a song I chose because I thought it would be perfect for singing here.
Thank you very much.
Now, let's have Yano Honoka sing for us.
The song is "Aitakute Ima".
Aitakute Ima
Do you remember the first day we met?
Don't forget the memories of the past
I want you to feel everything you're looking at
Now that you've looked up at the sky
Are you watching over me?
Tell me
I want to see you now
There are a lot of things I want to tell you
Hey, I want to see you, I want to see you
When I realize it, I'm sad because I'm looking for you
Where are you? Hold me tight
I will always be here
Even if fate cannot change
There are things I want to tell you
I want to go back to that day and that time
If it's going to come true, I don't need anything
I want to see you now
There are a lot of things I want you to do
Hey, I want to see you, I want to see you
I didn't know what to do and wished it was all a dream
This heart still always thinks of you
Your hair
Thank you very much!
That was Yano Honoka-san!
Thank you very much!
Can I ask you a question?
How do you feel about singing the song you wanted to sing in this place?
In this situation, I don't have many opportunities to meet you.
But it's not anyone's fault.
I'm going to sing this frustrating feeling of "where should I hit?"
I'm really happy to meet you in this place today.
Thank you for listening!
How about you, Ms. Ami?
It was pure and I wanted to meet you right now.
I could feel your pureness even when you were singing.
I can't wait to meet you.
Thank you.
That's all for Ms. Yano Honoka's singing assessment.
Please give her a big hand!
Thank you, Ms. Yano.
Let's move on to the fifth singer assessment.
The fifth singer assessment is...
4th group, 1st place, STU48, Yura Ikeda.
Now, Yura Ikeda, before you sing, please tell us about your feelings for the song you are about to sing.
Yes, this song is amazing.
I met this song when I was deciding the song for this competition.
I really love this song and this time I chose it with the feeling of wanting to deliver it.
I would like to deliver the singing voice I have now. Thank you.
Now, Yura Ikeda will sing for you.
The song is "Be a Flower".
Are you smiling now?
What kind of breath are you taking?
While being strong in the crowd,
I wonder if you're walking so you don't lose.
Even with that flower at your feet,
you won't hesitate to live.
Go on living!
Right now, we're looking up at our own skies in the wind.
It's okay to bump into things.
It's okay to cry.
Because somewhere, there is an answer.
Don't give up!
No matter what tomorrow brings,
as painful as it is,
your life will shine brightly.
Even we, standing in the wind, can become flowers.
Live on, we are now in the wind
Looking up at our own skies
It's okay to crash, it's okay to cry
There is always an answer
Don't give up, no matter what tomorrow brings
No matter how painful it may be, your life will shine bright
Standing in the wind, we can become flowers too
Ikedai Yura-san, thank you very much!
Thank you!
How do you feel now, after singing for us?
Well...
Hmm...
I feel refreshed!
I think it's the first time I've revealed myself and sung a song like this.
It was a great time! Thank you very much!
Let's hear from the judges, Kurosawa-san. How was it?
Yes, well...
When I produced "Nonah Diamonds" last year...
Ikedai-san has this image of Natsumero...
"You can sing anything!" I've said this many times before...
And you've proven it yourself today!
Thank you!
Your expression is on another level...
From falsettos to changing your own voice...
You showed us a new style of singing...
I'm very happy about it!
Thank you very much!
And with that...
That concludes Ikedai-san's singing assessment.
Everyone, please give her a big round of applause!
Thank you very much!
The fifth, Ikeda, and Yura's screening is now complete.
Now, let's move on to the sixth singer screening.
The final singer screening.
The sixth is the second group, first place passers-by, STU48, Mitsuki Imamura.
Now, Mitsuki Imamura.
Please tell us about your feelings for the song you will be singing.
Yes, well, I sang Aiko's "Boyfriend" in the preliminary round, and I intended to change my taste a little,
but this preliminary round, and the song just now, and I got carried away with the song,
so I chose it because I wanted to show a different charm next time.
[applause]
Now, let's have Ms. Imamura sing for us.
The song is "A Woman Needs Jazz".
You were there, I was with you, I don't need anything else.
If it's just the two of us, I feel like I'm filled with you.
I've always been looking at the garden alone.
The night sky illuminated by the moon.
The glitter of countless stars.
That's amnesia.
Amnesia.
Make my wish come true.
Take me somewhere.
Invite me.
To a place where new encounters await.
Have you already noticed?
The light that lets you know of the morning
and even the fact that there are colors even for the winds.
How many years just...
It's been a while since I had a dream, but...
It's like my heart is pounding, like it's painful...
I turn back again to the nostalgic futures and I say...
Life is good.
How many years just...
Just...
Life is good.
Good job, Imamura-san. Thank you.
Thank you.
How did you like singing?
I'm glad I was able to show you a different side of me in this video.
I'm glad I sang it. Thank you very much.
How about you, Ms. Oja, the judge?
Yes, I think Imamura-san has already established her own style.
Thank you very much.
Her idol-like looks and singing voice, and certainly her singing ability,
I thought she was a person who would instantly fascinate the audience.
It was a wonderful stage.
Thank you very much.
Now, that's all for Imamura-san's singing evaluation.
Everyone, please give her a round of applause.
Thank you very much.
Six people finished in no time.
Yes.
Let's move on to the seventh singer evaluation.
Final singer evaluation.
The seventh singer is...
Third place.
First place.
AKB48.
STU48.
Okada Nana.
Okada-san, before you sing, please tell me how you feel about the song you're going to sing.
I've already sung all four times.
Until now, I've been hoping that this event would be fun and exciting.
But for the fourth time, I thought I wanted to be the star of the show.
But when I thought about it, I was too nervous.
Regardless of winning or ranking, I hope you enjoy singing on this stage.
I'll do my best to sing.
Okada Nana, please sing for us.
The song is incomplete.
I want you to break it all, everything.
Throw away the past and laugh it off.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Tell me you're lying, push me away, so I won't dream anymore.
Ah, if my emotions that have gone too far can go crazy,
I'd rather erase you from the world.
I'm incomplete, I don't know what to do.
If you can't save me, don't give birth to me.
Stop love and run away from me.
You can deny me of everything.
Is it okay for me to destroy you like this? Is it okay? Is it okay?
Don't ever look back and be happy.
I'm sorry for loving you like this.
You're free now.
Push everything back and pull it back.
Now, please give me back my normal days that won't stop.
I want to end it, I can't end it.
It's okay, you decide.
Ah...
Hold your breath, run away from me, I want you to destroy it all, all of it
Throw away the past, laugh it off, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine
Don't look back again, be happy well
Hey, I'm sorry for loving you like this
Hold your breath, run away from me, I want you to forget it all, all of it
No matter where you live, I love you, I love you, I love you
The world that only we can see seems like it's gone too far
I'm glad we met and you're smiling
You're free now
Nana Okada, thank you very much.
It felt really good. Thank you very much.
Please tell us how you feel now that you've performed on stage.
I've performed four times so far, and every time I was so nervous and shaky and scared.
I was also scared of being placed in a great position.
There were times when I thought it was a little painful every time.
But I got so many people to listen to my song and get some advice.
I was in a place where I could really grow, so I think it made me stronger.
No matter what the result was, I had a lot of fun.
Thank you very much.
Now, we'd like to hear from the judge, Inoue-san as well.
Okada-san, please stay there for a little while longer.
Please.
I was like, "Come on, do it already."
I've seen it four times, but in the finals...
You know, you run away from a cheerful song like this.
You know, you run away from a lot of falsettos like this.
Why don't you pick a song like you did in the preliminaries?
You know, you have a sense of service.
You know, you're next to your friend who won and you're happy about it.
You know, you're comforting him in the dressing room.
You know, you saw it.
No, I'm happy today.
I'm really proud of you being in the AKB family.
Thank you very much.
And with that, that's it for Okada Nana-san's singing assessment.
Everyone, please give him another round of applause!
Now, let's move on to the final singer evaluation.
Final singer evaluation, 8th place, 4th group, Miitsuka, NGT48, Hino Mimura!
Now, Mimura-san, before you sing, please tell us about your enthusiasm for the song you are about to sing.
Yes, this song was recommended to me by my boy training teacher in Niigata when I was lost in choosing a song.
For me, it is a challenging song because it is simple, so I don't know how far it will resonate with you, but I will sing with confidence until the end!
Now, let's have Mimura-san sing.
The song is "Anata".
If only I could build a house
A small house, I'm sure I could build it
A big window, a small door
And an old fireplace in my room
A red rose and white pants
And you, you, you are lying next to me
That was my dream
My dear, you are...
...where you are now.
And I knit a lace.
Next to me, next to me...
...you are, you are...
...where you are now.
And I knit a lace.
Next to me, next to me...
...you are, you are...
...where you are now.
Mimura-san, thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
Please tell us how you feel now that you have sung so well!
Yes!
Yes, thank you very much!
Well, I'm a little worried about some parts.
Actually, I originally sang "haru dokoro" in my own voice.
Well, I thought, "well, I don't want to do it anymore."
I sang it, but now I regret it.
Well, whatever!
What did the judges think of Ami-san's performance?
Well, I think the scenery that Mimura-san is looking at has reached this side as well.
Thank you very much!
But the key is also high, so I thought the ceiling would be scary, but it was wonderful because it made me listen to it with a bang!
Thank you very much!
Well, that's all for Mimura-san's singing evaluation.
Everyone, once again, please give her a big hand!
Thank you very much!
Now, with this, all eight final singing judges have finished their performances!
Once again, we ask all eight final judges to return to this stage.
Now that we're all here, once again, judge Kurosawa-san!
How was the final?
Yes, well, to be honest, for me personally, there's not much of a difference.
Judges, you're disqualified. Basically, you have to disassemble everyone.
Well, for me personally, there are three people with 99 points. You're disqualified.
But really, it was such a wonderful final singer.
I've been participating since the second time, and I'm really proud of it.
I'm like, "Oh, thank goodness!" It was wonderful, everyone.
Next up, we'll hear from our supporters as well.
How was it for you, Mukaichi-san of AKB48?
Yes. I cried so much in the middle of it that my face is all messed up now,
but I thought the power of singing was amazing, and I was envious of how good you were at singing.
It was really fun! Thank you very much!
Next, STU48 Ishida, who remained in the final and many members remained in the final! How was it?
Yes! I usually don't have a chance to hear one person's singing voice so well, but this time I heard everyone's singing voice again and I was very excited and it was really wonderful! Thank you very much!
Now, everyone, finally, after this, the fourth singer will decide.
We will now collect the singing evaluation.
In the meantime, the finalists of all competitions, nine of them, will sing "Hajimari no Uta" (Beginning Song). Please.
The unstoppable beating of my heart
drew me to a faraway place.
The TV is turned off.
The showtime suddenly begins.
The center stage gathers.
A bursting smile.
Memories of my childhood.
A love story I yearn for.
An encounter that makes me forget.
This phrase is for you.
This melody is for me.
When we overlap, our feelings overlap.
I see. I'm sure I wanted to sing it.
It's dazzling and I want to spend time with you.
I reach out my hands.
I hope the song of the beginning
will echo in my heart forever.
It won't end.
Our own future
will shine forever.
A spotlight pours in.
A chance comes every month.
I head for the center stage.
It's big and serious.
A dramatic situation.
It's weak.
I can't go back.
The main character is me.
Repeat and let me hear it.
To where the light shines.
Now start running.
I'm sure it sounded like this.
I wanted to laugh.
Emotions pile up and overflow.
So that the song of the beginning will always resound in my heart.
Our own future.
No matter how much I reach out and pursue it,
there's something I can't reach.
Yet why can't I give up?
I hope the song of the beginning will reach everywhere in the world forever.
The never-ending days will never end.
It's only for us. We won't let go of it anymore.
It's our own story.
Let the song of the beginning resound.
Now, on behalf of the judges, Kurosawa-san, please.
Now, I will announce the winner.
The 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Final Judge Special Award goes to...
AKB48 Yui Murayama.
Murayama-san, congratulations!
Congratulations!
We're moving to the mic position right now, but AKB48 and Murayama Yui-san,
you may have a little voice right now, but please give us your impressions.
What should I do?
Eh?
I was so surprised that I couldn't speak. Thank you very much!
Eh? What should I do?
Murayama-san, you now have the conditions for going to the finalist live!
Oh my gosh!
It's really dark and I can't see anything, but thank you so much! I'll do my best!
Congratulations!
I'd like to hear from the judge who chose you.
Kurosawa-san, Murayama-san, please tell us why you chose her!
Yes, we really don't know anything about being in first or eighth place,
but we have our own will for this special award for judges.
And that is our future.
Her motto is "gift".
You can't give it away even if you want to.
If you can't give it away, no matter how hard you try, you can't give it away.
But it's true that A-melody and B-melody haven't collided yet.
So we bet on your future.
Please come to this world.
Please come to the world of singing.
Thank you!
That's the reason.
Thank you!
How did you feel when you heard this reason and cheered too much, Mukai-chan?
Well, I'm about to cry, too.
Yu-chan likes singing and dancing, and she often said, "I'm going to dance."
I've always said that she's really good at singing, so I think it's amazing that the judges chose her like that.
Good luck!
Thank you!
Murayama-san, what do you think of the judges' choice and your colleagues' words?
I'm going to do my best in both singing and dancing.
Congratulations!
The 4th AKB48 Grape Singer No. 1 Final Judge Special Award goes to Murayama Yuiri of AKB48.
Please give her a big hand!
Now, let's move on to the top three final judges' announcements.
First is the announcement of the third place. Ichika-san, please.
I'll announce it.
The 4th AKB48 Grape Singer No. 1 Final Judgement, third place is...
S.T.U.48...
Yano Honoka!
Yano-kun, congratulations!
Yano-san, how do you feel right now?
I was hoping to win, so it's frustrating, but I'm relieved to be in 3rd place.
Thank you!
Ms. Judge Miso-ja, what did you think of Yano- san's singing?
Yes, it was a very relaxed singing voice.
I fell in love with it from the first time I heard it.
It was a voice that made me want to listen to it forever.
Then I would like to hear one more person's story.
What should we do? Mr. Inoue, please.
Yes, thank you.
No, it doesn't matter who takes it.
If you say it like this, I'm like that.
Well, I'll put in my expressive power for the time being, but at the end of the day, I've got a singing voice and other items like that in me, so it's just selfishness and prejudice, isn't it?
I don't like it or hate it, so in the sense of singing power, everyone has really jumped through it, so please go home with confidence even if you are in the 9th place.
Now, the 4th AKB48 GROUPE SINGING POWER NO. 1 Final Round 3rd Place
SU48 Yano Honoka. Please give him a big hand.
Now, let's move on to the 2nd announcement. Mr. Ichikawa, thank you.
Announcement.

S.T.U.48…
Ikeda Yura!
- Thank you! - Ikeda-san!
- Ikeda-san, congratulations! - Thank you!
Congratulations!
Yes...
I've been participating in this tournament since last year.
It was...
It was very different from my first time participating in a tournament.
I was very anxious and worried.
But it was the first time I had to reveal myself and sing like this.
So I have no regrets! Thank you very much!
Well then, Ms. Ami, the judge, what did you think of Ms. Ikeda's singing?
Seeing her crying like this now, I was relieved that she was also a girl in her mid-20s!
I think she's a wonderful singer who makes you wonder, "How many times in your life have you done this?" just by singing.
Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you very much!
Well then, Ms. Ishida of STU48, what did you think of this result?
Well, I don't know... But I really want to say "good job!"
Thank you very much!
Good job!
Thank you very much!
Well then, the 4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Final Round, 2nd place goes to...
STU48's Ms. Ikeda Yura! Please give her a big round of applause!
Thank you very much!
Well then, it's finally time for the winner's announcement!
4th AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Final Round, who will be the 4th champion?
Ms. Ichikawa, please announce the winner!
I'll announce it!
Thank you very much!
The 4th AKB48 Group Singer's Championship Deciding Round is...
AKB48, STU48, Okada Nana!
Okada-san, congratulations!
Okada-san, can you tell me how you feel now, after you've cleared up your mind?
What? Um...
What? Is it really okay? Is it really okay?
Um...
Thank you very much.
Until now, when I've been in all of the tournaments,
I never thought it would turn out like this.
This event really made me stronger and helped me grow.
I'm glad I didn't give up until now.
I'm really happy that there are so many STU48 members in the finalists.
The members of AKB48 were able to stay in many finals in the fourth round.
I feel the growth of the group.
I will continue to stand up and do my best this year as well.
I want to do my best with everyone.
I want to do my best to make the 48 Group even more exciting.
Please continue to support us.
Congratulations.
Please tell us how you feel.
Congratulations, On-chan!
I really think you're amazing and strong.
I don't know why I'm crying like this.
I always feel like I'm next to an amazing person.
You sang "Unfinished" at the end of the final.
I was not only able to see you as an idol, but also as a human being.
I was really moved.
Congratulations on winning!
Thank you!
Okada Nana has won the trophy!
The judge is Kurosawa Kaoru. Thank you!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
As you know, she has faced many things and is serious about everything.
In this tournament, she has faced singing more than anything else.
I think it was this result that she finally faced singing.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Kurosawa-san, thank you very much!
The winner of the 4th AKB48 Group Singing Competition No. 1 Final is...
Okada Nana-san! Everyone, please give her a big hand!
Okada-san, after receiving this trophy, would you like to say a few words?
Once again...
Yes...
No...
It's already...
I'm still wondering if it's okay for me to do it myself while feeling this weight.
But now that I've received this trophy,
I think I have to continue to work hard so that I won't be ashamed of this result.
I will work harder so that I won't stay here and grow bigger.
Everyone, thank you very much for today!
Now, it's time for us to say goodbye.
Lastly, everyone who participated in today's final competition will perform their songs.
Everyone, please stand by!
Now, I'd like to use this time to announce the announcers.
Yes, on February 23rd, CS Broadcast, on tbs channel 1,
a documentary special broadcast closely related to the story will be broadcast.
For more information, please check out the official Twitter of the show!
Now, we have all the members who joined us today.
The song you will be listening to is AKB48's song.
The performance will of course begin with Nana Okada's solo, which won first place.
Please convey the joy of winning with all your heart!
Now, please listen!
365 Days of Paper Airplane!
Looking up at the morning sky, I softly wished for this day to be filled with smiles.
Sometimes it rains and my eyes fill with tears,
but I'll do my best tomorrow if it doesn't go as planned.
The dream I've always had is for me to be alone again.
The dream of being free to do what I want to do.
Life is like a paper plane, it flies with a wish on board.
As far as you can in the wind, just keep moving forward.
Rather than competing for that distance, whether you fly high or where you fly,
that's what's most important.
Now, just like your heart, 365 days.
Life is like a paper plane, carrying your wishes and flying away.
As far as you can in the wind, just keep moving forward.
That distance is more important than reality.
How did you fly? Where did you fly?
That's what's most important.
Now, just like your heart, 365 days.
Fly away and try flying.
Okada-san, congratulations!
Thank you!
And thank you to everyone who participated in the preliminaries!
Thank you, judges!
Goodbye, everyone!
