AISubs v3.2
I haven't put any tape on this side yet.
Two pillars that have carved the history of AKB48.
One of them still has the mark of the 15th year.
AKB48 celebrated its 15th anniversary on December 8, 2020.
It was the first time for AKB48 to perform in front of an audience.
Originally, it was an important day for the members to gather at the theater and express their gratitude to the fans.
However, I'm sorry that it was canceled due to the pandemic.
December 8th is an important day for the theater, but it's a festival.
It's sad that we couldn't put the fans in the theater.
To be honest, it's a shame.
But it can't be helped because of the situation.
In the end of the year, all the members gather and the number of people increases year after year.
At the beginning of the year, we couldn't take a group photo, so we had to come to the audience seat.
I think it's really sad that we couldn't do that because it's the end of the year.
I want to talk to the members and staff about what we can do.
Yay!
After being affected by the third wave of the novel coronavirus infection,
AKB48's 15th anniversary special performance changed the content of the program.
It was a live talk event with the cast members as sisters.
I'm Kimiho. Nice to meet you.
Originally, we had prepared a solo medley performance of 98 songs.
It's not scheduled to be held, but it's postponed.
The performance of the songs prepared by the members for this day was postponed.
We decided to put up the old tape in front of the fans again on the day the pandemic ended.
And we made a vow to devote ourselves to what we can do now until that day comes.
We want to put up the old tape on the day we celebrated our 15th anniversary together in front of the fans.
We haven't put up the old tape yet, but I hope the situation will calm down next year and we can put up the old tape together at the theater.
December 8, 2020, the end of the year.
No one imagined that 2020 would come.
What does AKB48 Group Director Min-on feel and think?
Good morning.
Nice to meet you.
Good morning.
The recording of the radio show where Mion is the main personality.
The theme is to think about AKB48 10 years later with Kazurazer, a special advisor, and AKB48 members instead of Shu.
The recording of this day is a new season special.
We will talk about the present and the future of AKB48 with Mr. Yokoyama, the former general director.
And this is Kazurazer, a special advisor.
Happy New Year.
Thank you for your support this year.
Gassho.
First of all, it's a topic that can't be avoided.
I'd like to talk about NHK Kohaku Utagasse.
I couldn't make it this time.
I've been on AKB for 11 years in a row.
I've cut it off.
What did you think of Mion?
Of course I regret it.
The biggest regret was that I couldn't make it.
I feel sorry for the fans and staff who support us.
I feel sorry for the seniors who have made history.
I cut it off on my own.
And I regret it.
I expected it to be like that.
I regret that I wasn't surprised to hear it.
Did you accept it?
I regret that I thought it would be like that.
I think Mion is already in the form of a director.
I think it's okay to just go for it.
I think it was 2020 when there were a lot of restrictions.
If there is no such restriction, what do you want to do?
If you don't have to worry about anything and you can do what you can,
What do you want to do as AKB?
I think it would be even better if Mion could rely on everyone's words and do it in her own way.
You've been out for 11 years in a row, haven't you?
You've been out 12 times in total, haven't you?
I don't know, but it's not like that.
If you go out too much, it's too quick, isn't it?
I think so.
You've noticed AKB's way of doing things, haven't you?
It's the same group, but Sakabe is doing it with a different concept, isn't it?
I think Sakabe's concept is more popular than AKB's concept.
Of course, it can't be helped if it's a trendy style.
You've been doing a lot of dynamo shows, so your potential hasn't changed, has it?
That's right.
Isn't it time to change how you look?
It's like the limit that you can't rely on the sign of AKB.
That's right.
It's about how to get out of here.
That's right.
Isn't that a chance?
After the radio recording, I was on my way to my next job.
He told me how he felt about AKB48 again.
The situation as a group is not very favorable, isn't it?
At that time, the situation of the corona has been overlapping, so I'm very worried that the group will not be able to move forward with a double punch.
There is a line group called Director So and Captains, but there are also captains of each team and Mr. Yokoyama there.
It's a line group, and it's been a while since the corona was in vogue, so I have a sense of crisis in the line group.
If we don't move now, we'll stop doing nothing and the group will end.
While talking, I really tried and tried
It was OUC48 that was born in such a situation. The members acted on Mr. Yokoyama's proposal and realized it.
The music video OUC48 version of the paper airplane on the 365th day taken by my sister
Mion edited and completed
What do you want to say to your fans?
When I realized that I couldn't do anything for everyone
I thought I could do something for everyone at home
At that time, I started YouTube and started to study editing
I said that I wanted to do this
It's pressure
After all, what is it?
I think I haven't done anything yet
By becoming a director
Rather than having a hard time
There are many people who think that they have a good feeling
But even I
I'm very anxious that I'm not doing anything
So I don't want to be like that
I think I have to do more difficult things
But at this time, I can't even do difficult things
I'm always upset
I can't even do difficult things
In the midst of suffering from such frustration
It was the end of the NHK Kouhaku singing competition
I joined when I was a student
My debut was Budokan
Three days later, I joined Tokyo Dome
It was the beginning
At that time, I felt that all the stages that I had performed as if it were natural were so far away
Of course, I know that I don't have as much momentum as before
But it didn't come out as a result that I could see
I'm grateful that I was able to read it as it was in the Yuta program
I could see it in the details, but I think it was the first time that I was able to see the reality
I think it's frustrating that I was able to predict it
I can't say with confidence that I did my best for a year at the end of this year
Min-on suffers from various conflicts
Kazurazer's words strongly resonated in her heart
It was a completely new way of thinking
It was a way of thinking that I hadn't thought of at all
It was a word that gave me a ray of light
Because it's a group, if you don't get together, you won't be able to do anything
I was convinced that I couldn't do anything because I couldn't get together right now
Certainly, if you say it, everyone is scattered, and if you put your strength in each place and come back when you get together, you may become insanely strong
I was very satisfied to notice
Recently, I've been thinking a lot about negative things, but if I take it positively, I think that each person's consciousness will change, and I have to be one of them
I feel like I saw one of my goals for 2021
Mion, who found a guide to where AKB48 should go
It seems that the steps towards the rehearsal for the Japan Record Awards have become a little lighter
In the second half, we will take a closer look at the performance at the end of the year
What kind of year will 2021 be for AKB48?
