ーFamily Theaterー
A mix that can't be heard at AKB48's concerts.
Fans are calling out to the members of the stage, raising the sense of unity in the venue with their own cheering call.
However, neither the mix fans nor the members know the roots.
When? Where? Who? For what purpose?
What is the meaning of that word?
The roots of MIX.
It is a mystery left behind by AKB48, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary.
The one to unravel the mystery is the general director of the AKB48 group,
Mukaichi Nihon.
He researches for clues about MIX himself.
And finally...
He succeeded in making contact with the owner of MIX.
From now on, I want to go to Sapporo.
Wow!
The director, Chidon Mukaichi, also joined the team.
He approaches MIX's roots that have not yet been solved.
Nukaichi and his crew fly to Sapporo, where an extended person is waiting for them as the second mix successor.
I never thought I would come all the way to Hokkaido for this investigation.
I feel that I and Nemos TV really want to investigate this.
You can eat delicious food, so don't worry.
That's also a little bit.
ーShe talks like that, but ー
ーher mind is full of the mystery of ー
ーmixing. ー
I felt like I saw the blog.
It's like the scream of the soul.
What is it?
I thought that the English version was ー
ーmade first, and it was ー
ーthe Japanese translation of ー
ーSo, why did ーCyber come out? ー ーAre you a fan of HANSHIN? ーYes, I am. ーYou are not originally from Hokkaido, are you? ーYeah. ーProbably. ーMukaichi has been researching the mystery of Nix for the past few days. ーAs a co-director, ー ーI was looking at AKB's fans. ー
I want to become a director who can make AKB48.
I want to share my story with the fans who are supporting AKB48.
I want to spread my story to the world.
6 years ago,
Makai was a girl who longed for AKB48.
AKB48 has a theater performance, and I'm not good at speaking in front of people, so I applied for AKB48 because I wanted to improve my expressiveness.
For a girl who was not good at speaking in front of people, the members who shone on stage were irreplaceable.
As a fan, I loved cheering for AKB so much that it was my whole life.
If I was feeling down, I would look at AKB and listen to their songs.
I would cheer for them and think, I'll do my best again tomorrow.
It was the energy to live.
But the feeling of loving AKB is the same as when I was a fan and now as a member.
I also loved myself.
I want to keep protecting the AKB that changed my life.
That's my driving force right now.
There is a reason why she is so particular about the mystery of MIX.
After arriving at the meeting place of the second generation, Nukaichi organizes the information of MIX that he has studied so far.
These are the five mysteries of MIX that Mukaiichi wants to know.
The program staff entrusted everything to Mukaiichi.
What kind of person is Encho, the second successor of MIX?
And...
Nice to meet you.
This way, please.
I'm Miyon Mukaichi from AKB48.
Thank you for coming today.
Nice to meet you.
Please have a seat.
Excuse me.
Thank you for coming today.
This person is...
The director who knows the mystery of the mix.
Sapporo, isn't it cold?
It's a little cold.
The jacket is also very comfortable.
I always wear this outfit.
But it's a half-sleeve.
I wear this jacket in winter.
I also wore a back-strap hoodie for this.
If you wear a back-strap hoodie, you will lose weight.
What do you do for a living?
I don't have a company name, but I work as a support for a major IT company.
I went to Tokyo a while ago.
Is that so? Is it a job?
It's a job. My daughter is living alone, so I went to see her.
You have a daughter.
She is 19 years old.
She was born in 2001, so she is close.
It's close.
Congratulations.
I was really nervous to see who would come.
He's a very kind person.
I don't know who he is.
After the tension between the two was relieved,
Nukaichi cut into the mystery of MIX.
Can you tell me when and where MIX was made?
Originally, I didn't do it on the set of IDOL.
It was a rock band.
I didn't mix up a lot of words and run around.
There was a time when I just thought of one word that came to mind.
At first, it was just Tiger, right?
It seems that I was the only one screaming.
It's a story I heard from them.
The director wasn't there at first.
I wasn't involved at that time.
I saw it on a blog. What do you call it? EVL?
Oh, that's EVL.
EVL?
It's like they made the word AINU into English.
It means dancing Koguma.
There's a person called Kuroku and a person called Zenkyo.
They're the same age. They're from Eniwa, Hokkaido.
Kuroku and the others are also from Hokkaido?
Yeah, they're all from Hokkaido.
They're all from Hokkaido?
Suddenly, three mysteries came to light.
In 1992, MIX began with a live concert of hard rock and heavy metal by a group of five people from Hokkaido called EVEL.
In other words, MIX was not originally made for AKB48.
So how did MIX come to be?
To be honest, I don't really remember how it all started.
When Kuroku-san decided to quit his job,
he was like, I'll leave the rest to you.
I got a call from him.
It was an email from Gara-kei at the time.
He said he'd leave the rest to me.
Leave it to you?
That means I have to do it.
That's amazing.
I think that's where the first one was cut off and the second one started.
I thought I had to do it, so I went home by myself.
I think it was around 2002.
I think it was around 2001 or 2002.
Kaido, you used to have a band called ZONE, right?
Yes, yes, yes.
I used to do ZONE concerts alone.
I see.
Like Secret Base?
I don't do Secret Base concerts.
That's not good.
They'll get mad at me.
Then ZONE became famous.
That's right.
I had a lot of friends in Tokyo, so I asked them if I could go to Hokkaido to see the event.
They said, what the hell are you shouting about?
That's right.
There's something like this, so let's do it.
This is fun. This feels good.
Everyone remembers that.
I wanted to do it at the scene of Hello Project.
So what you were doing only in Hokkaido was from your friends in Tokyo.
And then you finally crossed the ocean.
But you haven't crossed the ocean yet.
You've just been walking around.
And from here, AKB48 and MIX are connected.
While the mystery of MIX is being solved one by one,
one question arises.
When did the MIX of AKB48 start?
The AKB theater started at the end of 2005, right?
I've been to the theater once.
I've been there twice.
You've been there once.
I did it once for the first song of the encore.
I went to the trash can.
Did you go to the trash can?
Was there a trash can in the theater?
There was a trash can next to PA.
It was a trash can with a lid.
There was a pillar, right? I was looking at the back of the pillar, and I couldn't see the people behind the pillar.
I could only hear the song, and I got excited in that state.
I don't think it makes sense, but I got excited by it.
I opened the lid of the trash can that came in.
I closed it, but the lid fell off.
What kind of song was it in the beginning?
It's Team A's song, isn't it?
There's only Team A.
I wonder if it was Sukahira.
I think it's Sukahira.
The director who says that he shot the mix at the AKB48 theater, which opened recently, is a staff member of the theater, Shogen Toichi Gunji.
Perhaps it was the director who witnessed it.
Also, in the theater at that time, there was already a mix shot at the current AKB48.
At that time, what we were doing and what evolved independently in the world of AKB48 had become two songs.
The meaning of the song and the way it is sung is completely different.
Is it different?
I'm always curious about the meaning of the song.
It's common for us to get high tension and do it.
It's a live performance by an idol group.
They have an idea that it's incomplete.
They want us to mix it and make it complete as one.
They don't want us to see the idols. They want us to see the idols.
They want us to see the idols.
AKB48 has evolved in a unique way.
So it wasn't your original goal?
No, not at all.
But as time went by, it changed into what it is today.
That's right.
Here is a surprising word from the director.
It's not a shot with our senses.
Oh, I see.
Everyone says it's a shot.
It's called a shot, isn't it?
The way it's called a shot is also a word that came from the KB world.
Is that so?
We call it a shot or dye it.
I think it came from the word otage.
That's right.
It's called a shot or dye.
What do you think about the mix that is in that state?
I think it's good.
I think it would have been great if the idols could have been more energetic and more excited.
It's a culture of one kind, and a culture of another kind.
I think it would have been great if the idols could have been more energetic and more excited.
There is only one mystery left.
Let's find out what he wanted to know the most about the meaning of the words.
Why did you choose the name Tiger?
Was it your idea?
Well...
The meaning of the words...
A bit of something very precious from Shodai- tachi.
The meaning of what I mentioned here was...
is that it's pretty difficult to express what he said.
Ah, I see.
Difficult to express the meaning from my mouth, that's why.
It's Unlike Me
I really want to hear it, but...
Then you have no choice but to catch the person.
I want to hear the meaning of the mix when a person like me appears in the first part.
Mukaichi desperately resists.
The reason for his enthusiasm was that the director got a cell phone.
Mukaichi's voice is full of emotions.
Will he be able to unravel the mystery from the beginning to the end?
The meaning of the words of the mix that he really wants to know.
Will his feelings reach the beginning?
Ah, I guess that's what will happen.
It seems that it will not work.
I see.
Would you like to leave a message or something?
No, it's fine.
You can leave a message or an e-mail.
I'm sorry.
Finally, what is MIX to you?
At first, I thought it was cool and interesting.
That's why I started doing it.
But when I realized it, it was a common topic in MIX and I made a lot of friends.
I was able to do a lot of things that I couldn't do before.
It was a chance for me to meet people.
It's wonderful.
When I stand on the stage and receive it,
it really becomes a driving force for me to sing and dance.
It may be a little different from the MIX that everyone received,
but for us idols, MIX is already...
something that we have to have.
So, thank you for accepting us.
Thank you for spreading the word.
Thank you for loving us.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for loving us, too.
What did Nukaichi gain from this research?
There is a culture of MIX that has continued from the first generation to the fifth generation.
In addition to that, there is also a culture of MIX that was completed in AKB, and I was a little confident in the words of the director that it was okay for both to exist, so I would like to continue to cherish it as something that connects the stage and the audience.
After shooting, when I was having dinner, I got a call from the staff.
Good morning.
The person who called me was the director.
Did you get in touch with him?
Yes, I got in touch with him.
But he didn't show up.
He was just standing there.
I see.
My last wish came true here.
Next week, AKB48 Theater will...
As usual, the fans are full of enthusiasm.
Mukaichi, who stands on the stage, answers with her best performance.
And the MC says these words to the fans.
Can you put the mix as much as you can today?
Thank you very much. Let's have fun today.
ーMukaichi said ー
ーnot to put the mix, but to put it. ー
ーThe words ー
ーMukaichi said ー
The staff who met with Nukaichi at the park handed over five e-mails to her.
The e-mail was sent to the parent of Mix, Evel Kurofukushi.
The e-mail contained an apology for not being able to appear, and a message to Nukaichi.
That is...
The last mystery of MIX that I wanted to know the most.
In the first place, the words that Evel and the others shouted out loud during their daily lives and travels.
In the past, it was a single viber shout.
Mixing those words.
On June 20, 1992, at Tiger Road in Atsuta, Kurofuku and Zenkyo did a viber shout of Tiger and Fire.
On December 28, 1994, at Tiger Road in Atsuta, Kurofuku and Zenkyo did a viber shout of Tiger and Fire at Zenkyo's home.
It's not something you can easily remember from the Setsuna era.
The first one, the viber shout, has the original shape of a 5 and a 0.
It comes from the name of a plane, 503.
What? That's amazing!
The roots of MIX are the words of the first generation that came out in a momentary way.
The memories of that time are not clear, but only one of them taught me what I remember.
And NER was made up of these words.
I feel that MIX is no longer a part of us, but a part of our culture.
The shape of MIX is the same as the words, changing from generation to generation.
I am not particular about that.
If there is one wish, it would be that the important thing is not the evolution of the framework,
but that even if the times change, each and every one of us who makes MIX think it's fun.
That's my wish.
Even though it's a bit short, it's been 25 years since MIX was born this year.
It would be great if you could continue to love MIX, which is celebrating the half century.
What I want you to take care of the most is that you think it's fun when everyone says it's a mix.
If you have that heart, even if the shape changes, even if the meaning changes, you can continue to be a mix.
When I read that kind of message, I thought it was like AKB.
I thought it would be better to keep the origin that our seniors have created,
or it would be better to create something new in our generation.
I was quite conflicted about this part.
After hearing this story, I felt that the most important part,
if both AKB48 members and fans think that it is fun through AKB48,
I felt that we can continue to be AKB48 even if the shape changes.
I hope AKB will continue to grow like MIX.
It's been 14 years since AKB48 was born.
And it's been 25 years since MIX was born.
Isn't it a happy story?
I'm going to add one more.
All right, let's go.
Tiger, Fire, Cyber, Fiber, Diver, Viver
Ja-ja!
In order to become the trump card of AKB48, we need to liven up the venue!
That's why we're fighting!
