Yesterday, we had NGT48, HKT48, SKE48, STU48.
Out of 58 contestants, 20 were selected.
It was a tough battle, but what did you think, Waga san?
STU48 is amazing, isn't it?

Before we go to today's final judging, let's take a look at the digest of the top 5 finalists yesterday.
Here you go.
[music]
When we first met, I didn't think a day like this would come.
Making you despair, no, it's over. Time just kept piling up.
Big mistakes, long way ahead, I won't forget.
Ah, let's forget everything and go home.
Ah, let's let it all out and go home.
That wound hurts, but this thirst won't go away.
I don't care anymore, let's blow it away.
The reason I decided to say goodbye
wasn't for you in the first place.
I was worried you'd leave me behind.
It made me sad.
Oh, somewhere in Japan,
there's someone who can't deal with me at once.
So don't worry about it today.
Let's be blown by the wind of today.
It spins, it spins.
Times spin.
Joy, sadness repeat themselves.
Even lovers who parted ways today will meet again in their next lives.
So we've just seen the five singers who topped the charts yesterday.
Mr. Yomi, what did you think of it?
Well, I feel like a fierce battle is already underway.
So I might be blown by the wind of today as well.
I'm looking forward to it.
And you, Iwasa?
Well, I was just watching the video.
And Mr. Ikeda's shock was...
I was shocked again!
You should have seen it!
I was surprised again.
And you, Yuta?
Well, Mr. Ikeda seems like he's about to be drawn to the song as a performer.
I think it'll be easy for him to perform.
It's not like, "Here we go!"
It's like he's already been sucked into the song.
From that perspective, too.
I think it's amazing.
He's a singer.
I think so, too.
I wonder if we'll ever see such a member again.
Let's move on to the singer evaluation.
Before the performance, judges will check the video and results of the first day.
And we'll evaluate the second day in the same way.
And viewers, please leave your impressions and opinions of the live broadcast on Twitter with the hashtag #akb48singerpowerno.1.
Thank you!
Now, let's get started.
First of all, it's NMB48's seven singer evaluations.
Here you go!
I'm NMB48's Yuka Kato. Nice to meet you!
Pushing up the sky, you reach out your hand for May.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you a bud, a garden leaf, and a swimsuit.
Your cute light berry colored dream, I hope it ends properly.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day bind me and the endless waves will stop properly.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm Koroda Fuwa of NMB48. Thank you for having me.
``I want to see you soon'' ``I want to say "see you soon" ``I want to engrave all the things we did with you'' `` Anything I want to say with you'' ``I want to forget "I don't want to forget it" "I want to say "see you soon""
``Itadakitai'' ``I want to say "see you soon" '' `` I'm glad everything started with you'' ``I'm glad everything started with you'' ``Bite your lip and touch it with your fingers.'' ``I bite my lips and touch my fingers and make sure of my kiss with you'' ``The rain stopped, the stars spilled, I wandered into a small room.'' ``The rain stopped and the stars spilled out and I got lost in a small room.''
Ah, let's climb up a tetrapod and aim for the top and shoot some shoes into space.
Ah, when you kiss me on my cheek, our time stops.
Ooh, I like you
Ah, boyfriend
Thank you very much!
I'm In Sion of the NMB Court. Thank you for having me.
If you haven't changed your mind, I want you to stay by my side
Tonight, I'm tired of pretending to be strong
I was too young
Everytime I think about you baby
Now I can say "I miss you"
It's so hard to say "I'm sorry"
For example, I want to sing this song for you, not for someone else
This story won't end, it will continue to shine
I always want to tell you, forever and always
For example, it's not for someone else
But for you, I want to sing this song
An endless story continues in this radiance
Always want to tell you, forever and always
Thank you very much.
I'm Manabe Anji of nmb48. Thank you for having me.
Honshu is like a parallel line after entering a car
Tokyo is like nothing even if you love it
Give me a Lick 'n' Sext 'er
I don't even have 190,000 yen
The water in my tea
It's hard to close it with the smell of the city
Every night, I'm just growing up
I'm making one rat a business tool
Then the page will appear in my lungs and break
Please say it in blue
It's a bad idea to change it by means of
It's hard to fly with the smell of mushrooms
I'm just growing up every minute
I'm turning one of them into a business tool
Then the page will appear in my lungs and break
I want you to get married and have children in the future
I'm just playing with you every night
I want you to become my girlfriend
Then the page will hit me with a clutch
Thank you very much!
I'm Aika Satsuki from NMB48. Thank you for having me!
In the future you drew, I'm not there, and that era isn't there either.
The two of us with just a little scar were looking for a continuation of our dream.
I thought it would color as I wanted it to.
I couldn't find an answer.
Even so, this world continues to spin.
The summer you gave me, I won't forget that miracle.
Hiding my overflowing feelings in that sunset, so why, so why, so why, I noticed.
In the summer you were there, I couldn't say these feelings well.
Where did our hearts go away to, so why, so why, so why, it didn't reach you.
Through love...
Thank you very much!
Nnb48, I'm Yuna Hayakawa. Nice to meet you!
Yuna Hayakawa
In the pure white powder snow, people stop and remember places their hearts desire.
No matter how much love I have, no matter how much I have drawn away,
why are you not with me on this precious night?
The reason I decided to say goodbye is by no means for you.
Because I was anxious and sad.
"Friends" is a very difficult game.
I will never disturb you two again.
One more time, until you grasp my dream, siren night.
Thank you very much!
I'm Mio Matsuno of NMB48. Nice to meet you!
We were always together, walking down the same road.
We part ways and walk our own separate paths.
Holding my heart full of loneliness,
I look up at the sky and feel like I'm about to cry.
I think of you.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Even on nights without you, I can't cry.
Because you're doing your best.
Because you're getting stronger.
You're looking at this tree, aren't you?
That crescent moon.
"Because we're connected," you say. "Because you love me," you say.
I reach out for the crescent moon.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
These feelings are only for you.
Thank you very much.
First of all, we had a singing competition of seven people at mnb48.
Now, Mr. Yomi, how was it?
Well, as for the person I was personally interested in,
Mr. Kuroda Fuwa, is he a fan?
Well, when he's singing the melody,
he has a strong and weak feeling,
and I think he's pretty good at expressing
the emotions of the song while listening to it.
Also, I think he can sing in a way that goes well with the song,
and I think it was quite attention-grabbing.
Yes, thank you very much.
Yes, then, Ms. Iwasa.
Yes, I was impressed by Mr. E. Shion.
He already had a pretty good feeling,
and it matched very well with his voice quality, his delicate voice, and the sadness of the song,
and the chorus was really good. It was wonderful.
Yes, thank you.
Then, Mr. Yudai.
Yes, I think there are a lot of very attractive people in mnb48,
and I'm curious about their singing while judging,
but I feel like there are a lot of people who said, "Oh, that girl's part was really good."
All of them are very attractive.
Also, I think Ms. Hayakawa is very attractive,
and I think she interprets the world view as her own,
and I like her very much.
Then, Mr. Waga, who was watching us from a distance, how did you like it?
What I noticed after watching this competition is that I don't like "silent eve" in short.
Also, surprisingly, there aren't many people who sing "sadistic" in full,
and I think you like Ms. Shina Ringo very much, don't you?
Yes, I do.
That's what I felt.
Ryusei's microphone was also in his right hand, and I could feel his feelings.
Then, let's look at Twitter.
Here is the first impression.
Last year's surprise girl is still around. Her scarlet hair matches the song and she is very powerful.
Last year, she was a surprise in every tournament.
Yomi, what did you think of her performance?
Let me see... What I felt from her was...
I liked how she used both "shakuri" and "shakuranai" parts of the song.
Personally, I paid a lot of attention to "shakuri" and listened to it a lot.
I'm glad you did.
Yes.
Last year, she was only able to advance to the finals.
Here is the next impression.
Top batter Yuka.
Yuka Kato, it's amazing that you can participate in this career every time.
Yes.
She was only able to advance to the finals in every tournament.
Yudai.
Yes.
What did you think of Yuka Kato today?
She has improved a lot since last year.
She was very polite and organized.
I think that's very difficult.
I felt a sense of stability.
I felt like I could listen to her without any worries.
I felt that a lot.
Thank you.
Even though there are only seven of you, you are a minority.
I agree.
I wonder how many of you will be selected.
Let's go back to the vocal judges.
AKB48, Team 8, and researchers.
16 vocal judges.
Let's go.
I'm oda erina of akb48. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
By chance, in the city, I saw you two.
That girl is the one you were talking about, isn't she?
Rather than being a good match,
I've never seen you like that before.
Your smile was frustrating.
Why can't it be me?
Why does it have to be you?
Even though I love you, my feelings can't reach you.
You hide them in my heart.
It hurts and I can't breathe.
Can I keep thinking of you like this?
I wish only the people who love me could love me.
Why can't it be me?
Why does it have to be you?
Even though I love you, my feelings can't reach you.
You're hidden in my heart.
It hurts and I can't breathe.
Can I keep thinking of you like this?
I wish only the people who love me could love me.
Thank you very much.
I'm Akb48's Hatsuka Utada. Thank you for having me.
Thank you for having me.
I am God's child
I was left behind in this corrupt world
How do I live on such a way?
I wasn't born for this
My feet are buried far away, I'm about to collapse
These chains won't forgive me
Leaving my heart open, only your senses scatter
I still can't clean up well
I am God's child
Left behind in this decayed world
How could I live on such a field?
I wasn't born for this
Thank you very much!
I'm SAKAGAWA HYUKA from AKB48.
Thank you for having me!
I'm SAKAGAWA HYUKA from AKB48. Thank you for having me!
Red, yellow, blue, all in my heart
I'll always call your name
My love for you is growing again
Your voice, your face, your clumsy way
I hate it all, all of it
I'll give you flowers that haven't withered yet
Always, always, always, always
I'll hold you in my arms
Thank you very much!
AKB48, I'm Sayaka Takahashi. Nice to meet you!
Hey, why do you look so sad?
Even though the sky is so bright and blue
Since when did I start holding hands with you?
You won't hold me back, will you?
If I could say anything, would I be able to go back to that day?
My heart is filled with only anxiety
Even if I cry, even if I cry, it won't disappear
I love you, I love you, I need you forever
Just like back then when I wanted you to love me
Even if my wish won't come true
Will these feelings always reach your heart?
I love you, I love you, I need you
Why did you steal only my heart?
If it's a wish that won't come true
Tell me goodbye
Thank you very much.
I'm Nagano Celica of AKB48. Thank you for having me.
The season I've always been waiting for with you is Itsumo kimi to machi tsuzuketa kisetsu wa
I passed by without saying anything.
Wrap up a little regret and sin, Sukoshi no riguretto to tsumi wo tsutsumikonde
Time passes as I vow not to cry, Nakanai koto wo chikatta mama toki wa sugi
Without noticing my aching heart
In my memories of being alone, I was alone.
The two of us can live forever Zutto futari wa ikite yukeru
Your voice still resonates in my heart Kimi no koe ga ima mo mune ni hibiku yo
It's the shadow that love wanders around in. Sore wa ai ga samayou kage
I couldn't see you when you cried a little Kimi wa sukoshi naita ano toki mienakatta
I'm Momoka Onishi of akb48. Thank you for having me.
What do you wish for? Tell me gently.
Even if you don't call this love "eternal",
Just for now, tell me a lie and make me believe it with faint words.
If the song of love resounds, light will shine in the gray night sky.
Let's connect the light one by one and deliver it to you in the distance.
If it resonates, light will shine in the gray night sky.
Let's connect the light one by one and deliver it to you in the distance.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Hamasa Eno. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
How long am I going to stay like this?
How long am I going to stay alone like this?
I'm starting to hate myself
and I'm starting to envy someone
While telling me that someday, someday
I've loved you a lot until today
And even now
I hope this love will bear fruit
Just a little, just a little
Let me think like that
Right now, I'm in love
With your heart
At that time and that night, I thought I shouldn't have fallen in love
Now I'm in love again, making your heart tremble
Just a little, just a little, so that this love may bear fruit
Now I'm in love again, making your heart tremble
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Hinoko Okura. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
When I wake up, I'm always
in the same scenery.
I can't even see
the important things.
The meaning of life,
and that happiness
are what you taught me.
I think I can say
"maybe it's okay".
I want to see your smile right now.
Everything that surrounds you
is filled with kindness.
I won't get lost.
I will continue to love you.
No matter what happens,
you are by my side.
Thank you very much.
I'm Takaoka Kaoru of akb48. Thank you for your support.
One button at a time,
one by one, from bottom to top.
Your time and warmth
are taught by my heart.
Whether the sky is blue or flowers bloom,
whether you smile or hug me,
I feel this happiness that was right beside me
so much that it hurts now.
If there is something you want to protect and there is a future out there,
I will go and pick you up wherever you are.
If you get hit by a rainstorm and you get worn out,
please smile for me even if you don't look good.
If there is a world you can see only because you fell once,
I will never let go of your hand again.
I finally realized the days I spent with you.
What I really wanted is right there.
Thank you very much.
I'm Fujizo's Rei from akb48.
Thank you for having me.
Once upon a time, there was a clumsy boy and a little strong girl in a place called "yaru tokoro" (a place called "yaru" is "yaru" in Japanese and "tokoro" is "place" in Japanese)
They lived in different worlds and one day, by chance, they met and fell in love.
The boy was kind and always turned around, and the girl always apologized in letters.
One day, when the stars fell down, the boy reached out and said,
I love you more than anyone else, more than you think. My heart is always filled with you.
I may not be reliable, but I will always protect you, so please stay with me, always stay with me.
And so the two of them lived happily ever after.
Thank you very much.
I'm Yuki Ohta of akb48. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for watching.
Extended shadows lined up on the sidewalk
Walking with you in the twilight
Holding hands forever and ever
If I could be by your side, I'd cry
The wind got colder and I smelled winter
I'm getting closer to you in this city
Seasons come and go
This year's first snow flower
Holding hands together
When we're looking at each other
Happiness overflows
It's not about being sweet or weak
I just want to be with you forever
I honestly think so
In this city, flowers of pure white snow are falling
I draw memories in our hearts
I want to be with you forever
Thank you very much.
I'm Sato Airi of AKB48.
Thank you for your support.
My Love Forever
At this distance, I always feel like I'm going to lose.
When you say "I'm sorry" on the phone, I can't say it honestly.
But I don't want to say "see you later" anymore.
It's okay like this. Because I can't say "I love you" to you.
That's all I can say.
But I'm glad we met. I cherished the fact that we could think of each other.
To you, who I love so much,
My love forever.
In the passing seasons, we walk hand in hand.
I love you, I really love you.
The future map I made with you.
"I'm glad we met someday," we say.
I can't put it into words.
That's all I can say.
But hey, I'm glad we met.
I want to cherish our feelings.
To you, who I love so much, My love forever.
Thank you very much.
I'm Eriko Hashimoto of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
The strength of the wind shook my heart a little too much
I miss you when I look at you seriously Pretending to be pitiful in the days of turning back
I tried to cover it up, but the light of hope
Happiness is shining in front of me all the time.
It resembles the marigold you wore with your straw hat
Are wa sora ga mada aoi natsu no koto That was when the sky was still blue in summer
Even the love of that day when you smiled and said "I miss you"
Don't leave me, I'll look at you with tears in my eyes
With your kindness like a cloud, I'll hold you tight and won't let you go
Ah, I love you Ah, I love you
Kumo ga wada futari no kage o nokosu kara Because empty words aren't enough, I'll kiss you and leave a shadow of you two in the clouds
I won't, I won't let you go like this forever and ever
I won't, I won't let you go like this forever and ever.
Thank you very much.
I'm Hotei Moka of AKB48.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, I won't forget your big hope.
Believe me, August after ten years will come again.
The best memories...
The moment we met, you called me at the crossing on the way home. "Let's go home together."
I was so happy while hiding my face in my bag.
Ah, fireworks bloom beautifully in the night sky and it's a little sad.
Ah, the wind flows with time.
We did a lot of happy and fun adventures.
In our secret base.
The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, I won't forget your big hope.
I believed we could meet again in August ten years later.
I knew you were screaming "thank you" from the bottom of your heart until the end.
I want you to hold my hand and smile.
The best memories...
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48's Masai Mayu. Nice to meet you!
I'm AKB48's Masai Mayu.
The same smile I have next to me
The road I took home on my bike back in the day
Now I'm running while looking at the stars from the roof
After I got off and looked away until the corner turned
The same brake light, five times flashing "I love you" sign
No matter how many years pass, I'm sure I can spend it like this with unchanging feelings
Because I'm with you
The prediction of the future I draw in my heart
See, it's coming true just like I thought
Thank you very much!
I'm Yamazaki Sora of akb48. Thank you for having me.
Shadows stretching far away, the waves of the night erased me, and I shed tears.
If you throw away your heart without being noticed, it's better to get hurt.
I cut through the cold wind and run like I'm running away.
Someday, these drops will become jewels.
Believe that you will be reborn in a beautiful heart.
Become one shining light in the world.
It's okay if it's me. Please believe me.
No matter how far you go, go on the path you should protect.
It's okay if it's me. I'll live my own way.
Become one shining light in the world.
It's okay if it's me. I'll keep walking.
Tears are like shooting stars.
Become me. Make me come true and live on.
Someday...
Thank you very much.
AKB48 Team 8 and 16 researchers have finished their singing assessment.
Iwasa-san, how was it?
I was impressed by Takaoka-san's singing.
I could hear the lyrics very carefully.
I could feel that she was singing very carefully.
There was a little bit of rhythm in the chorus, but I felt like the chorus was running a little.
This is Takaoka-san's fourth attempt.
Iwasa-san, what do you think of Team 8 compared to AKB48 Team 8 in the past?
Team 8 and AKB48 Team 8 are almost the same.
I was impressed by Team 8 and AKB48 Team 8 are practicing singing a lot because of this opportunity.
Thank you very much.
Yutai-san, how was it?
I felt that Team 8 and AKB48 Team 8 have improved a lot overall.
Takahashi-san sang very carefully.
I had a good impression of him.
I felt like he had prepared a lot until the end.
That's good. Thank you.
Toyomi-san.
I liked Okuhara Hinako-san's singing.
Overall, I felt that her vocals were powerful and stable, so I thought they matched well.
However, I thought that if she sang with more awareness of the vertical axis of the song, her singing voice would stand out even more.
Preliminary songs are important.
That's right.
Waga-san, what did you think of it?
I was wondering why only Momoka Onishi was using a stand microphone.
I was looking at Twitter and she said that she didn't use it because she didn't use it herself.
She's the only one.
Hama-chan.
I was wondering if I ever had this expression in my naked heart.
It's a nice smile.
But in the end, I thought it was a happy expression of love.
That's good.
You were full of emotions.
Let's look at the messages from viewers on Twitter.
Here is the first impression.
Oda Erina-chan's love.
Her singing voice and breath that involved me in the world view of the song were my favorite songs.
It was wonderful from the beginning.
Iwasa-san, what did you think of it?
It's very nice.
I love this song very much, but I like the feeling of "I like you, but..." before the chorus.
I felt like you liked it.
Oda-san, you advanced to the finals from the second to the fourth time.
The first final itself was simply because of the schedule.
I see.
I was already working.
I'm actually in the first final of the whole tournament.
I'm looking forward to it again this time.
Let's look at one more.
Here is the next one.
Is it over? Is it over? Ah, I'm nervous!
I sang "Ul-san" again this year.
For three consecutive years, if you call it love, I sang it with a really nice song.
For three consecutive years, I was happy to receive it!
Takaoka Kaoru-chan, this is her own Twitter.
Yomi-san, you sing "Ul-san" every year, don't you?
I sang it every year!
Yes! So, how was it, Takaoka?
I see.
Since I sing it every year, if I had to narrow it down to one artist,
I think it's very easy to decide the direction of the song or the way of singing.
In terms of that experience value, I just felt that if you say that, I'm convinced of the way of singing this song.
The pitch and everything was pretty good.
You even wrote down the notes.
By the way, do you play the violin?
Ah, yes, I do.
My ears might be better than normal people's when I play the violin.
Let's look at one more. Here it is!
I sang it too much the day before and I'm thirsty. I sang it backwards. I'm sorry.
This is a tweet from Hana-san herself.
Here it is!
Practice, right?
Yes, you practiced a lot, didn't you?
Yes, how about you, Yutai-san?
Yes, he's someone who sings it every year and I always think it's good.
He's someone who always has something that catches my eye and I was very impressed this time as well.
Yes, thank you!
Yes, with that said, we'd like to return to the singer evaluation.
Lastly, we have AKB48 Team A to Team 4.
This is the evaluation of 19 members. Here it is!
I'm Saho Iwatate of AKB48. Nice to meet you!
Butterfly, you're more wonderful than ever
A red thread ties us together into a circle of light
Butterfly, you're more beautiful than ever
With white wings, we'll fly away, together with our happiness
I remember the days when I first met you
The seasons that repeated over and over again have brought us back together
You're smiling now, next to the person you love, saying "I'm happy"
With those certain memories, bells are ringing
The sun sets, and the stars rise for no reason
The night falls asleep, and the morning ends
Butterfly, you're more wonderful than ever
A red thread ties us together into a circle of light
Thank you very much!
I'm Akb48's Ootake Hitomi.
Thank you for having me!
I always wanted to be with you,
I always wanted to smile by your side.
Even though the seasons change again,
my heart remains still.
On the right side of you,
I thought I got used to it a little.
But why do I shed so many tears?
If my feelings won't come true anymore,
I just want the courage to forget you.
Even now, I still remember
your words.
Even the scenery I saw beyond your shoulders
was so once again.
Ah, I woke up from a dream.
Even your black jacket and your back
are no longer visible to anyone.
So once again,
like the stars returning to the forest,
small gestures that disappear naturally,
and me, who can only see you forever,
Thank you very much.
AKB48 Saito Funa.
Your fingertips are so cold it's freezing
What's wrong? Hurry up and say it
Even if you say that, I'm weak
Even if you die and I grow older and older
I can't even imagine it
Yes, now is more important than anything
You're like a melon that lost speed
Your white hair is swaying
Your forehead is a little higher than your ears
I was invited by your sweet scent and became a beetle and a bug
A shooting star doesn't flow
It hurts, I'm happy, my chest hurts
I'll never forget you
I'm sure you'll never forget me
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48 Fukuoka Seina.
You whispered in my ear.
I can still do it.
Because you are always shining.
Sometimes I'm in a hurry and I lose sight of you.
I can't help it.
Because you are always watching over me.
With a smile like you always do.
How many times have I been saved by your smile?
Thank you, thank you.
Best friend.
Always, always, always best friend.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Michieda Saki.
Thank you for having me.
It's not what you said.
I believe.
On my way home, my breath is getting colder.
The stars are just swaying.
I'm about to forget even the faint warmth I just felt.
I realized for the first time that I could love someone.
I was the one who cried.
The winter constellations were connected.
I was staring at the sky so it wouldn't disappear.
I believe.
Thank you very much.
I'm Yoshihashi Yuzuka of AKB48.
I will never cry in front of you, will I?
In other words, I always look good in a ragged attire, don't I?
The only one who can touch the modern synobitous is me.
Please don't go. You have to be with me everywhere.
No, you're the only one I'm looking at.
Kiss me right here and now.
Don't go anywhere.
You have to be with me.
You're the only one I'm looking at.
Kiss me right here and now.
Everything's nice 'cause you're with me now.
This is the time I love you so much, baby.
I'll never be able to give up on you.
So never say goodbye and kiss me once again, love.
Ah...
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Inana Shimoguchi.
Thank you for having me.
Maybe you don't have to be me.
We had no time to spare.
We always fought when we realized it.
I'm sorry.
I've always wanted to talk to you.
I'm sure we don't match.
You were the only one talking in a room where there were only two of us.
If we meet again someday,
will you smile for me today?
I can't tell you why,
but I don't want you to cry after you sleep.
Your voice, your face, your awkwardness...
I hate them all.
Just like dry flowers,
I'm sure our days together will fade away.
Red and yellow are in my heart.
I call your name all the time.
I love you and I miss you.
Your smile, your awkwardness, everything, everything, I hate it all.
I'll plant you a flower that hasn't withered yet.
Always, always, always, always, I'll hold you in my arms.
I love you.
Thank you very much.
I'm Manaka Taguchi of AKB48. Nice to meet you.
The strength of the wind shook my heart a little too much
I miss you when I look at you seriously. Pretending to be pitiful, I pretended to be poor
I tried to cover it up, but the light of hope
Happiness is shining in front of me all the time.
It looks like a marigold with a swayed straw hat
Nostalgic for that day when the sky was still blue
Mou hanarenaide to naki souna me de mitsumeru kimi wo Don't leave me anymore, you looked at me with tears in your eyes
With your kindness like a cloud, I won't let you go
Kiss shite Because "ah, I love you" isn't enough for me, I'll kiss "aa, airabu yuu" no kotoba ja tarinai kara to kiss shite you
Kumo ga mada futari no kage wo nokosu kara Because the clouds will still leave their shadows
We won't, we won't, we won't, let you go forever, forever, we won't let you go.
Oh, forever, forever, let you go Aa, itsumademo, itsumademo, hanasanai We won't, we won't, let you go
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48's Zun-chan aka Yamane Suzuha.
Thank you very much!
I want to engrave it in my heart
I don't want to forget it
I want to meet you and hug you as soon as possible
I'm glad everything started with you
That's what I think from the bottom of my heart
I bite my lips and touch you with my fingers
I made sure of my kiss with you
Then the rain stopped and the stars spilled out
I got lost in a small room
Ah, I climb up a tetrapod
Staring at the ceiling
I want to soar into space
Ah, when you kiss me on the cheek
Our time stops
I like it, I remember it
Thank you very much!
I'm Asai Nanami of AKB48. Thank you for having me!
Goodbye, my love
Still my love
It's frustrating
I'm so sad
He won't come back
Even so, my beloved person
I can't forget anything
I can't throw away anything
I'm miserable, weak, pitiful and hate myself
Goodbye, my love
Still my love
Forever and ever, my beloved person
Thank you very much!
I'm AKB48 Ishiwata Sena. Nice to meet you!
It's been 24 hours since you left last night.
I haven't taken a step outside yet.
♪ Du ru ru ru ru du ♪
At my own pace, I often oversleep
Thinking of you
Five minutes past the house clock
Ah, it doesn't matter anymore
Taking care of me, who hates cigarettes
And smoking on the veranda
My eyes got hot
You're not there anymore
♪ I wonder where you were? ♪
Thank you very much.
I'm Maho Oomori of a.k.a.b48. Nice to meet you!
Even if I ask where this wind comes from, the sky won't say anything.
Where will this song reach? I want to find my own answer.
Let's move towards an unknown ocean again.
There is only one dream that I will never give up.
Raise your cheeks to your heart and move forward as you wish.
I will sing for you to reach you at any time.
Oh, run against the sea breeze and become a new wind.
There is only one dream.
Even if I disappear, the song will continue to resound.
The song will reach you wherever you are.
Oh, run against the sea breeze and become a new wind.
Thank you very much.
I'm Saki Kitazawa from akb48. Nice to meet you.
I'm worried, my body is hot
My fingertips are cold as they freeze
Why are you leaving so soon?
Even if you say that, I'm weak
Even if you die and I grow older
Yes, now is more important than anything
The merry-go-round has slowed down
The white horse's mane is swaying
Your forehead is a little higher than your ears
I was invited by your sweet smell
The merry-go-round is slowing down
The pain in my heart is painful and I'm happy
I won't forget it for the rest of my life
I'm Suzuki Kurumi from AKB48. Thank you for having me!
What is the meaning of life?
Even if ideal reality turns into a click of light
I wonder if I can't be Adam and Eve
At a distance farther than the name of the earth?
I follow the place where sadness was born
If I could gently touch those wounds and heal them
Love will be the light that illuminates you
Even if the future I picture is so painful
Even if I'm not there right now
Right now, I'll gently hold you
Even if it's fate, pull me closer and keep shining
Even if it's a miracle, I want to believe that I can wake up
I want to believe
Thank you very much!
I'm omori miyu of akb48. Nice to meet you!
One by one, the buttons we used to switch over.
Taking them off in order from the bottom, we stack them up again.
The time and warmth you gave me,
this heart is telling me.
Whether the sky is blue or flowers bloom,
whether you smile or hug me,
this happiness that was right beside me,
I feel it so much that it hurts now.
If there is something you want to protect,
and if there is a future out there,
I will go and pick you up to where you are.
If you get hit by a rainstorm and become weak,
please smile at me as I am uncool.
If there is a world you can see only because you fell down once,
I will never let go of your hand again.
I finally realized it.
The days I spent with you,
what I really wanted,
is right there.
Thank you very much.
I'm Rina Okada of akb48.
Thank you very much.
Where am I now?
I step on my footprints and look back over and over again.
I draw a dream with my bare fingers
Even though I have wings that I drew a dream with my bare fingers,
I can't stop them.
I'm afraid of being alone and it's painful.
We walk towards a lonely dream,
overcoming the days that come to us in the gentle sunset.
"Goodbye" is not a sad word.
It connects us to our own dreams.
Until we meet again someday,
I won't forget you, my pride, my friend,
to the sky.
"Goodbye" is not a sad word.
It connects us to our own dreams.
Until we meet again someday,
I will never forget you, my friend.
To the sky.
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48 Kurosu Haruka. Nice to meet you.
Pushing up the sky, I reach out my hand for you, Guts.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you a bud, a garden flower swimsuit.
You're cute in a light velvet color.
I hope your endless dream will end properly.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
I hope my patience will one day come to an end.
I hope your endless waves will stop properly.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Thank you very much.
I'm Sato Kiara of a.k.a.b48. Nice to meet you.
I've never once thought of you as a friend
Since the day I met you,
Some things have changed,
But the things that haven't changed
Are more frequent for you and me
Until I couldn't see your hot way home
Until you became really small
I've always liked you
Even now, even now
Summer hair and your smile
As we grow older, I'm sure we'll remember
Your face and my words
Swaying, swaying, haha
I love you
Thank you very much.
I'm AKB48's Yui Murayama.
Thank you for having me.
What words can I say to you now?
Even though I'm clumsy, I hope it reaches you.
I can't see tomorrow.
I'm afraid of believing.
I blamed and regretted the past.
Thank you for loving me.
Even if the world ends tomorrow,
Even if we can't see each other anymore,
I will always think of you.
Your smile that you gave me that day
gave me the strength and courage to live.
Even on lonely nights when I can't see the stars, you're there for me.
That alone makes me strong.
Thank you very much.
Lastly, we had 19 singers from Team A to Team 4 sing and judge.
So, Mr. Yutai, how was it?
There was a lot going on.
I couldn't even open my eyes at the end.
I sang with my eyes closed from the beginning to the end.
I was a little moved because it was the last one.
And Mr. Iwatate Saho.
He came out of the final last year and got better again.
I feel like you've improved a lot since last year.
Thank you very much.
Mr. Yomi, how was it?
First of all, I thought that Mr. Manaka Takuchi's voice was really good.
In some places, I felt that the tempo of the song would be more effective if it fit in more firmly.
I really liked his voice.
And Mr. Omori Maho's song.
I thought this person was amazing.
When the tension of the song came up, I was able to focus on how to sing without being pulled by the tension.
When the song got excited, I felt like I was holding back my feelings of getting excited and focusing on the technology.
It was like a competition.
I felt like I had sung in a way that suited this environment.
That's good.
Ms. Iwasa.
I was interested in Mr. Ohtake Hitomi's voice.
He's really good.
His voice made me feel like it would go well with a song I've heard before.
I thought it would be really good if I sang "tsubunai" or something like that.
And Mr. Asai Nanami.
He's really good.
He has a gentle voice, but when he wants an attack, he has a strong force.
I was impressed by his ability.
We've seen the 19th place.
Ms. Waga, what did you think of it?
Even though I'm in the AKB singing group, I'm an idol.
There's only one idol.
It's Ms. Zun-chan and Ms. Yamane Suzuka.
So cute!
I think it's only Ms. Zun-chan.
She introduced herself.
She put in her nickname.
I hope she doesn't forget that she's an idol.
That's right.
Her personality was shining.
Let's look at Twitter.
Here's our first impression.
Nami's songs resonate with the heart straight away.
Yes, Asai-san.
How about you, Yudai-san?
First of all, the song is highly technical.
The pitch is high, too.
How can I say...
The song...
How can I say...
I think everything is expressed in a high dimension.
I don't think there's much limitation to it.
That's how I felt when I sang it.
It was really moving.
Will it advance to the quarterfinals in a row?
I think even babies will cry.
It was such a good feeling.
Let's move on to the next impression.
Here it is.
When I turned on the TV, I was drawn into the world view with Saki Kitazawa's "kabuto mushi".
I'm glad about it.
It's been a while since you appeared on TV.
That's right. It's been a while since the first episode.
Yoni-san.
Yes.
Saki Kitazawa.
I really liked him, too.
I think the melody of the song is also classified as a song with difficult lines.
However, it was a song that I could listen to without any discomfort because it held down the parts that I could listen to.
Thank you very much.
Shall we listen to one more song?
Here it is.
It's a song by Yuiri.
It's a song that makes you feel really good and makes you cry.
Thank you very much for watching until the end.
Thank you very much.
Iwasa-san.
I was singing with my eyes closed with a heavy heart.
I think it's a wonderful song that tells listeners that I'm singing while imagining and thinking about it in myself.
That's right.
I was singing with my eyes closed.
Is this photo open?
That's right.
I was singing with my eyes closed for a moment.
You were singing for a moment, weren't you?
Yes.
I was introducing myself.
You were introducing yourself.
That's right.
Yuiri.
Yes.
Now, the second day of the qualifying round has ended.
Thank you for your hard work, judges.
Thank you very much.
Now, Iwasa-san.
Who do you think is in first place?
What?!
Everyone is in first place.
That's kind of you.
That's all.
That's right.
I think it will be difficult this time.
Now, the second day of the qualifying round has ended.
Who will be in 10th place?
Thank you for your patience.
The second day of the preliminary round of the fifth AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round has come to an end.
Out of all 42 members of AKB48 and NMB48, which member is ranked in?
If you are not ranked in here, you will not be able to advance to the finals.
Now, I would like to announce the results of the second day of the preliminary round.
First of all, I would like to announce the results of the preliminary round from 20th to 11th.

Yes, thank you.
First of all, from 20th to 11th place, the members ranked in.
Now, Yomi.
Yes.
How do you like this lineup?
Well, I think there are quite a few people who ranked in for the first time this time.
That's right.
And, well...
This time as well, we were able to evaluate the pitch and rhythm in various ways.
I think there were a lot of scenes where it was hard to put on a coat.
However, personally, there are quite a few people who like this person.
I'm looking forward to seeing what happens after this.
We also received comments after that.
Yes.
Yes, Iwasa-san.
That's right.
I could tell that everyone was practicing singing a lot.
I could tell that everyone was singing carefully.
From now on, it's about expressing yourself and making a plan for the song in yourself.
I thought it was something like that.
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
Yudai-san.
Yes.
It seems like people with high grades are being named.
Now that we've seen it this far, what did you think, Waga-san?
Is it true that there is still more to go?
Yes.
Well...
That's right.
I'm excited.
Yes.
Shall we go?
Yes, Best Ten.
Yes.
Please announce the top ten people for the second day of qualifying.
Number ten is...
nmb48 Yuna Hayakawa.
Yes, congratulations.
Yes.
Next is number nine.
AKB48 Team 8, Erina Oda!
Congratulations!
Ms. Oda is in ninth place.
Ms. Iwasa, how do you feel?
Well... To be honest, I thought I would rank higher.
It was wonderful.
However, Ms. Oda is in ninth place.
Now, I will announce the best eight.
They are in eighth place.
AKB48 Team A, Iwatate Saho!
Congratulations!
Next is number seven.
AKB48 Team 8, Takaoka Kaoru!
Congratulations!
Now, I will announce number six.
They are in sixth place.
AKB48 Team A, Hitomi Ohtake!
Congratulations!
Okay, Otake-san. Oh, and Yudai-san!
- Yes? - Yes?
- Otake-san is in 6th place? - Yes, I'm in 6th place.
- So you're in 6th place. - Yes, I am.
Of course, all of the people in this rank are people who gave me high scores.
But I personally think that Otake-san has grown even more since he won last year's final.
- Yes, thank you. - You're on a high level, aren't you?
- Of course. - That's amazing.
- It's like, "Is it too low for me?" - Yes, it is.
- But... - Let's see who else is in 5th place.
In 5th place is...
nmb48
- Kato Yuka! - Yes, congratulations!
- Okay, Yomi-san. - Yes?
- You're in 1st place today. - Yes.
- What was your impression of him? - To be honest, I'm paying a lot of attention to him.
- I see. - Well...
I think the song "kanamizuki" is rather sad.
But he's got a bright expression and sings with a bright voice.
Even so, I felt like I was able to listen to the song in harmony with the song.
- I see what you mean. - Yes, thank you.
- Let me announce 4th place. - Yes.
In 4th place is...
akb48
team b
- Maho Omori! - Yes!
Congratulations!
Now, Iwasa-san!
- Yes! - Yes!
I've heard you sing on a singing show before.
At the time, you were really good at it.
I'm satisfied. You did well today as well.
- Yes, it was great. I'm glad. - Yes, thank you.
Now, we'll announce the top 3 members.
In 3rd place...
nmb48 i-sion!
- Yes! Congratulations! - Yes!
Now, how about you, Yudai-san?
- I-san is in 5th place. - Yes.
Her singing speed is really fast.
When she sings "pa-an", I get the feeling that it's going to be rusty.
She's really good.
I'd like to hear more of her singing.
- I'd like to hear more of her singing. - Yes.
- I can't even think of 5/7. - Yes, you can't.
- Now, next. - Now, we'll announce 2nd place.
In 2nd place...
akb48...
team B...
asai and nanami!
- Yes! Congratulations! - Congratulations!
- Now... - ayoni-san. - Yes.
Asai-san is in 2nd place.
She was really stable.
She was able to sing with her shoulders relaxed.
I could tell that she had a lot of time to enjoy herself.
Even in tournaments, you can tell that she has a lot of time.
I think it's because of her technical skills.
- Yes. - Yes, thank you.
Now, finally, the 2nd day of qualifying.
We'll announce 1st place.
1st place is...
AKB48 Team 4 Murayama Yuiri!
Congratulations!
This is only the 2nd round, but...
How do you feel, Yomi-san?
I see... But I'm glad for everyone.
Murayama-san, you're right about the song, but like everyone else said, you were able to convey your feelings really well.
I think you said it in the comments earlier, but even during the screening, you were listening to the song very seriously.
- I was listening to it. - You were listening to it, I see.
- Okay, Iwasa-san. - Yes?
What did you think of it?
- Well... Yuri, you were shining today, after all. - I'm glad for you.
- It was really great. - Yes, thank you.
- Okay, then, Yudai-san. - I don't think the scores of the top players will change that much.
But today, Murayama-san's feeling of conveying your feelings was through the screen, but I felt it was a little special, and I thought it might be that much of a difference.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Okay, then, for the 5th round of "IKEBI48 GROUP SONG POWER NO. 1 DECISION BATTLE", it will finally be decided who will advance to the finals.
From now on, out of the top 20 players for the first day of the qualifier and the top 20 players who have been decided today, we will select the top 15 players.
Out of the top 15 players who will advance to the finals in two days, we will select them unconditionally.
The rest of the players will be discussed and decided by the judges themselves.
Yes, thank you for your advice.
Now, who will advance to the finals?
During the discussion and decision process, please take a look at the singing scene of the members who were in the top 20 in the first day of the qualifier.
Here it is.
I was the one who cried, the connected winter constellations
I was staring at you so that you wouldn't disappear into this sky
I believe
I can't even be by your side when you're lonely
Now that you know the pain of loss, I pray that you can find another love.
I'll never forget the end of summer, my dreams for the future, and my big hopes, and I'll believe that we'll meet again in August 10 years from now.
I knew that you were shouting "thank you" from the bottom of your heart until the very end, as you held back your tears and said goodbye with a smile.
Sometimes I hate that kindness, and I can't be honest with my mother who is away from me. Look at your feet, this is the path you walk.
I want to see you right now, so that everything that surrounds you is filled with kindness.
i love you, i love you, i need you I want to be loved forever, just like back then, Even if my wish doesn't come true, this feeling will always reach your heart,
At this moment when the two of us are cuddling together and looking at the first snowflakes of the year, happiness overflows, and the two of us stand together like a nuisance.
Wanting to deliver me right away, I turned the dial and stopped,
i'm just a woman falling in love、
I can't really tell you the reason, but
I don't want you to cry after you sleep,
I hate everything about you, your voice, your face, your clumsiness, everything.
The days when you were gone, this hopeless malaise,
My mind and body are in pain, and I, helpless, lie down,
You've become a cat, I hope you'll finally show up someday.
Color your casual days in your color,
Well then, it looks like it's all over,
I've got a long way to go before I make a mistake, so I won't forget.
Let's forget everything and go home, oh, let's wash away everything and go home,
That wound hurts, but this face will never disappear,
I don't care anymore, let's blow it away
Look at your feet, these are your feet,
That's the path you're on, look ahead, that's your future,
I chased after you among the people passing by,
I was looking for something that wouldn't change, I'll never forget you that day.
I hate everything about her, her voice, her face, her clumsiness, everything.
Like dried flowers, the days with you will surely, surely, surely fade.
I wish my time could stop, but let's savor today, it won't end, summer, it won't end.
When we met, I never thought a day like this would come.
making you desperate, having a good rest, just passing the time,
Big mistake, there's a long way to go, I won't forget, so let's forget everything and go home, let everything go and go home.
That wound is aching, this thirst is cold, but it's okay to go back, creepy and strange,
The decision to say goodbye was never for you, because I was sad, the candle shaking with anxiety,
There's someone waiting for me somewhere in Japan.
Time goes around, times go around, joys and sorrows repeat, lovers who broke up today will be reborn and meet again.
Now, the fifth round of the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round Finals has finally been decided by the members who will advance to the finals!

SKU48 Kurushima Yuka!
Congratulations!
Also in 12th place, with 262 points,
HKT48 Sakamoto Elena!
Congratulations!
We have five contestants.
Next up, in 14th place, we have four contestants.
Looking at the points, I don't think we have any drawbacks.
There are three 14th place contestants and two 12th place contestants.
They're working hard.
It's expensive.
We're 14th place here, right?
That's right.
That's why one point is important.
Let's move on.
In 11th place, with 263 points,
NMB48 Kato Yuka!
Congratulations!
Kato-san is in 11th place. Iwata-san, how do you feel?
Is it really only one point difference?
Yes, it is.
When I realized that the one point difference between me and Kato-san is changing like this,
I felt a lot of responsibility.
Did you feel it just now?
Yes, I felt it just now.
Just now.
Thank you very much.
Now, I will announce the top 10.
In 10th place,
with 264 points,
AKB48 Team B,
Maho Omori!
Congratulations!
Yomi-san, how do you feel?
I think I just explained how I feel about singing earlier.
I think it's important for people who only participate in this environment to know how to show their personality and get one point.
In that situation, I felt like I was concentrating on singing from beginning to end.
Personally, I'm satisfied with the result.
Thank you!
Next up is the 9th place.
With 266 points,
stu48 Mineyoshi Arisa!
Congratulations!
Yutai-san!
Yes!
You're in!
How do you feel?
I think I couldn't participate last year.
I couldn't participate last year, and I was frustrated.
I think I've been working hard for the past year.
I think that showed in my score.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
You're in!
Next up is the 7th place.
With the same number of people, there are two people.
The first one is...
With 267 points,
stu48 Okada Azumi!
Congratulations!
You're in!
With the same number of people, there are two people.
The 7th place is...
hkt48 Akiyoshi Yuka!
Congratulations!
Yomi, what did you think of these two?
Akiyoshi was impressive, too.
But I think they're pretty high in rank.
7th? And still 6th?
I see.
But...
Yesterday, when we were singing "Olivia", there were other singers, too.
Even among them, I felt like I could sing right away.
Yomizu, today is your birthday.
Oh, congratulations!
Congratulations!
And 6th place with 270 points...
hkt48 Toyonaga Aki!
Congratulations!
Toyonaga is 6th place.
This is a professional band performance.
I can't wait to hear Toyonaga's song.
Me, too.
And now for 5th place.
5th place with 271 points...
hkt48 Okamura Rio!
Congratulations!
She's a very popular singer.
And now for 3rd place.
She's a new singer.
She's singing this song at this age.
I think she has more than 90 points here.
But at this level, it's not about the pitch being off or missing something.
I think it's about her ability to express herself and what she wants to convey.
She's still up there.
Yes.
Congratulations.
And now for 4th place.
4th place with 272 points...
nmb48 i-shion!
Congratulations!
You're in 4th place now, Yomizu. How do you feel?
Hearing this person sing gave me a sense of stability.
She didn't get out of tune overall.
Like, "I wonder if she's good at one part of the song."
Or like, "I wonder if she's good at this part of the song."
I think there were many people who were good at those parts of the song.
But this person was stable throughout the song.
Yes.
Thank you.
And now for Top 3 with 2 days left.
3rd place is...
With 274 points...
akb48 team "b" asai nanami!
Congratulations!
Alright, Iwasa-san!
Yes! I really like Asai-san's song, so I'm happy and convinced. Congratulations!
Thank you!
Now, for the second place announcement!
The first place of the first day, or the second place of the first day!
The second place gets 276 points!
I'm fine.
AKB48 Team 4, Yuiri Murayama!
Congratulations!
Alright, Yuiri is in second place.
Yudai-san, how do you feel?
Well...
I don't know...
Through his words...
Through his song...
There's a lot of information that he's trying to appeal to us.
This is really...
I think it's only natural for everyone to receive such high praise.
It was wonderful.
I was really moved.
Thank you!
And in first place...
In second place...
There's an 8-point difference!
With 284 points...
STU48, Yura Ikeda!
Yes!
This time, since there were many people of the same order, such as three people of the same order,
it has been decided that 16 people will pass the preliminary round here.
So, there will be four people in the judging and recommendation framework.
First of all, 16 people will advance to the final tournament.
Once again, Mr. Yomi.
Yes.
What do you think?
Yes.
Well...
Once you get to the top of the rankings,
I think each of you has a strong personality.
Well...
Even if you look at the panel, you can tell right away, "Oh, he's the singer."
I've heard a lot about you for two days, but I can still remember you.
I think that's what makes you so special.
Yes.
Now, shall we begin?
Next up is the announcement of four people in the judging and recommendation framework.
On behalf of the judges, Mr. Yomi, please make your announcement.
Yes.
I'll make my announcement now.
Judges' recommendation is...
SKE48 Mizuno Airi.
By the way, who recommended you?
Iwasa recommended me.
SKE48 Mizuno Airi has a different color from other members.
SKE48 Mizuno Airi has a powerful singing voice.
I was curious about how SKE48 Mizuno Airi would sound like in a live band performance.
That's why I chose SKE48 Mizuno Airi.
SKE48 Mizuno Airi also had a gap in self- introduction.
SKE48 Mizuno Airi's first announcement has been decided.
Yomi, please make your second announcement.
The second person to be recommended by the judges is...
AKB48 Team K's Manaka Taguchi.
Congratulations!
Who was recommended by the judges?
Yomi, please tell us about it.
Yomi's voice matched perfectly with the song.
Yomi's singing style and expression were wide and good.
Yomi's sense of tempo was also good.
It was easy to listen to.
There were many people who wanted to listen to other songs.
Among them, Taguchi's impression was strong.
I had a hard time choosing, but I chose Taguchi.
Thank you.
Please make your third announcement.
The third person to be recommended by the judges is...
SKE48's Ego Yuna.
Thank you very much!
Yuna, you're the third person to be recommended by the judges.
What do you think of her song?
I think her song is very good.
I just want to sing with her.
I think that's one of her talents.
Of course, her song is highly rated by me.
As a judge, I'd like to give her another chance.
You'd like to sing with her.
I'm very interested in how she will grow and what kind of song she will sing.
That's why I recommended her song.
Thank you very much!
As expected of the last person!
The last person to be recommended by the judges is...
Four of you, please!
The fourth person to be recommended by the judges is...
AKB48's Team 8's Erina Oda.
Thank you very much!
Finally...
Who was recommended by the judges?
Iwasa.
Of course, I chose her song purely because I like her song.
From the moment she started singing, I could feel that she had her own world.
I could feel her unique style and technique.
To be honest, I really like her song.
Thank you very much!
As a result, four judges have been selected.
These are the 20 people who will advance to the finals.
What do you think about that?
Yes, about that lineup...
Umi-san, what do you think about it?
Well...
It was very difficult to choose.
There were a lot of points.
Each and every one of you was very good.
But...
From now on...
In the next match...
Not a match, but...
There will be a next match.
I hope you will work hard for it.
Yes.
What do you think about it, Masa-san?
I wanted to go and see it in person.
As a guest.
I think you all participated with a serious mind.
I want you all to win.
I want you all to win first place.
Really...
Did you say it, Masa-san?
I want you all to win first place.
Thank you for your hard work.
It was wonderful.
That's how I feel.
Yes.
Thank you.
What about you, Yudai-san?
Yes.
I saw all 100 of you.
Each and every one of you worked hard.
I could feel that you wished for this day.
Singing in front of people alone...
It's very difficult, isn't it?
On top of that...
Even though you were judged...
I want you all to be confident.
I want you all to go back to your group and work hard.
The final tournament has been decided.
It's the fifth time.
What do you think about it?
Yes.
I think STU is really strong.
But...
I think it's going to be something new.
Yes.
I wonder how many people will participate for the first time.
There will be a lot of new members.
Personally...
Yes.
I'm glad you participated.
I'm looking forward to it.
That's why we broadcasted it for two days.
The fifth AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round.
It's time to say goodbye.
Finally, we have a message from Sasaki Anna.
The fifth AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round.
The final tournament will be held between Japanese young people on March 3rd.
How to buy a ticket is...
Now...
Yes.
We will announce how to buy a ticket in the near future.
For more information, please check the official Twitter of the AKB48 Group Singing Power No. 1 Deciding Round.
And the final tournament will be broadcast live on the CS broadcast dbs channel 1.
In addition, in commemoration of the fifth time, this time we will also hold a unit battle with three people in one group in addition to solo singing.
This qualifying pattern will be broadcast on dbs channel 1 on Friday, February 10th.
Solo singing, unit battle and final tournament qualifying pattern will also be broadcast live on dbs channel 1 on Friday, February 10th.
Please check it out.
I don't know about the unit battle.
Maybe someone around here will join the unit and come back to the final.
I'm looking forward to that, too.
It's a new attempt.
Will you really let me kiss you again?
Oh, please.
I don't like that either.
It takes a lot of life.
That's right.
Yes.
Thank you very much for watching and watching for two days.
Thank you.
Thank you for watching.
See you in the next unit battle qualifying round.
Goodbye for now.
Goodbye.
