AISubs v3.7
You're really graduating.
Don't look so sad.
There's not much time left for you and Reina-san to be together like this.
That's right.
There's been a lot of things since Rio joined.
By the way, how was it when I was working with Nogizaka?
You were working with him?!
I didn't know about it at all! That's amazing!
It's weird for me to say it myself, but it was pretty popular.
By the way, what will you do after you graduate?
Do you have a job yet?
No, I don't think I'll get a job.
I said it in my graduation announcement, but I want to be an actress.
You're an actress?! That's amazing!
You didn't know about it?
No, I didn't know about it at all.
Are you not interested in me?
No, I'm not interested in you.
I joined SK because I admired you, Reina-san.
I've been wondering for a while now, but my name isn't Re-i-na, it's Re-i-na.
What?!
Is that so?!
You're not admiring me, are you?!
I'm not lying!
You don't know me at all!
I know you! For example, you're a member of SK.
And your skin is white...
Yes, I saw you for the second time!
And you?
I think you have a nice appearance and...
Oh, you're so cute!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Good evening!
Okay!
5 seconds before chaos!
In the wind, I saw you running with all your might on a road with swaying sunflowers.
Your face was shining, as if you were fighting against the sun at the end of summer.
You came so close that you didn't even notice me.
You found me at the end of someone's road, didn't you?
"Shall we run again?" My heart was burning hot.
I don't know when it started, but I started walking.
To live is to run.
I don't care if you look at me or stand in front of me.
I dream in front of me.
Even if you look for insects in your hands, you can only see the sky beyond the clouds.
This exciting and new world can't be found anywhere else like Kansai.
Every time I grow up, my passion grows stronger.
I've forgotten why I'm in such a hurry.
I want to run right now.
It's been a while since I thought about it.
I've lost sight of it.
The future is continuing.
Adults say it's okay to walk.
But I walk on the road in front of me.
I feel the wind saying I'm alive.
I remember this difference.
I'm sure my dream is getting closer.
Youth is a detour.
Even if you get lost, you can start over.
Hope is physical strength.
It's still okay.
There's no doubt about it.
That's what I think when I see you.
I want to run on the road in front of me.
Shall we run again?
My heart was burning.
It's been a while since I started walking.
To live is to run.
I don't care if I'm alive or dead.
I dream of the road in front of me.
I want to run on the road in front of me.
To live is to run.
AKB48 All Girls Idol Group
Tonight's show is Matsuiruna.
Oh, Yabe-san, good morning!
Oh, Sato-chan, good morning!
I'm so excited today!
Eh, why is that?
This time, that Matsuiruna-san is coming!
Matsuiruna-san used to be an idol, didn't she?
I thought she was an actress.
Ah, Sato-chan, you're young, so you don't know.
That's right.
She was an SKE 30 years ago.
The result is...
She is not only an actress, but also a singer and a talker for the first time in 30 years.
It's such a premium feeling.
I didn't know about SKE before I was born.
That's a big gap.
I've been watching her since I was a student.
I joined this industry because I wanted to meet her.
And today, my dream will come true!
I'm so excited!
He's here!
Welcome, Mr. Matsui Rena!
Good morning!
Thank you for coming today!
No problem! Thank you for inviting me!
Is this the costume you wore back then?
Do you like it?
Yes! It suits you just like it did back then!
I'm embarrassed.
How do you like it?
I love it!
Are you her manager?
Yes, I am!
I was only friends with her.
But we became enemies and she asked me to be her manager.
At first, I refused.
Then we met again by chance in Aoyama.
Thank you!
I see.
I heard it's been 30 years since you sang on a show.
It's been 30 years since I graduated from SKE.
How old are you now?
I'm sorry, but we can't talk about age now.
I'm sorry about that.
Please allow me to explain the flow of the show.
First of all, you will sing in the center.
After that, you will talk about how you felt back then.
Talk about how I felt back then?
I'm sorry, but we have bad memories about each other.
That's not what we want!
I'd like you to talk about how you felt back then.
It's been 30 years, so I don't remember much.
I see.
When I was an idol, I was so busy that I didn't even remember where I was.
I was so busy!
Busy?
I've never heard of it.
And then you graduated in 2015.
Was there anything important or difficult about it?
If it was 2015, I'd remember it.
It was tough.
What happened?
The roof of the new national stadium didn't fit.
It was tough.
I didn't expect you to talk about it at this level.
I'd like you to tell me about your episode.
It brings back memories!
After all, the Tokyo Olympics started two hours before the roof was completed!
It was just barely finished!
And then...
It was just barely finished!
It was a buzzword.
It was crazy!
Can you stop talking about it?
OK, I'll check your mouth.
You say things I don't understand sometimes.
So, is there anyone you are grateful for?
Someone I'm grateful for...
Yes, there is!
You know...
I can't think of his name...
You know...
He's wearing glasses!
Glasses, glasses...
Um...
He has a black body shape...
A black body shape...
Yes, yes, yes!
He used to be a radio writer and a composer!
Who was it?
It's about Yasushi Akimoto, isn't it?
Yes!
Yasushi Akimoto!
Did you forget about Ms. Akimoto?!
Ms. Akimoto took care of me a lot!
After I graduated, she gave me a lot of advice...
That's a good story!
What kind of advice did she give you?
Excuse me, my Lena...
Let's not talk about me!
There's no way we're talking about you!
It's not like that...
Um...
It's about the members!
Tell me about the members!
I don't remember much...
I remember Ms. Obamina... How was she?
Obamina?!
I know that girl!
There you are, Obamina-chan!
She was so cool and cute!
Her personality was really good!
She was perfect!
I don't remember much...
She only did comedy, didn't she?
She liked comedy, didn't she?
Obamina-chan?!
You little...
Obamina-chan?!
She's worried about you...
Don't tell her!
Excuse me, Mr. Yabu...
Excuse me...
Who are those ladies?!
We can't talk like this!
Don't call me "lady"!
"Lady"?!
Who are you talking about? Me?!
No, no, no!
We were just talking about you, Ms. Obamina!
Can we talk about this later?
No, no! Wait a minute!
We haven't heard anything yet!
After becoming an actress, she was so busy that she forgot everything!
She was so busy!
You know the drama I'm starring in, don't you?!
I like the charisma detective, Lena!
I'm good at using my charisma to catch criminals!
I didn't know there was a drama like that!
There was a drama like that back then!
I think the ratings were...
60%!
60%?!
That's right! I got 60% ratings for charisma detective, Lena!
I even made it to season 8!
Excuse me, Ms. Obamina!
If you don't mind, can you tell me about that episode your manager knows about?
Let's see...
By the way, when did your manager start following you?
About three months ago...
Three months?!
That was recently, wasn't it?!
Lena and I were just friends, but one day he asked me to be his manager!
I haven't heard about that at all!
Can you leave me alone for now?
That episode...
It was just before the story was made, y'know?!
I heard about it, but whether you'll do it or not is your business.
Are you seriously okay with this?
Well, I'm your manager, so I'll be in your care.
Do you really need this kind of challenge? If you have a script, you don't need it, do you?
Well, first of all, this is a free-talk show, so we don't have a script.
You don't have a script?
Yes.
My Lena has only been doing dramas for 30 years. There's no way you don't have a script!
Lena-chan, I can't trust you anymore. Let's go home.
Okay.
Wait, wait, wait!
If you need a script, call me again.
Huh? Aren't you having fun? Huh?
I did want to see you 30 years ago.
Next up is Director Takamina-san's lecture room.
Not only are the members invited, but also Lena Matsui. What kind of talk show will it be?
So, this time it's Lena Matsui's show, right?
Yes, it is.
Um... I'm sorry, but can you do it for me?
What are you talking about? You're the one who brought me to AKB48 in the first place, of course!
But looking back, when did Lena announce her graduation?
June?
It's early, isn't it?
It's early!
It's early.
It's like I'm late!
So, you announced your graduation, and when you do, it's not like you've lost something, but you feel like you've gotten rid of something, right?
Yes.
What did you feel like when you announced it? Did it change you?
I do feel like it changed me.
It's something I've been hiding and couldn't say even if I wanted to.
So, as soon as I said it, I felt like I was less nervous.
Um... Actually, Lena and I have been on other shows, and I'm kind of intuitive.
When I said what I felt in the past, I said, "You thought about graduating about three years ago, didn't you?"
"How did you know?" I was told like that, and I didn't ask that much in that show.
Three years ago, what made you think that?
It's a team...
There was a minority in SK.
And from Team S, I went to Team E, and I became the leader of a team with only juniors.
It was very big for me, and it was the first time I got out of that motivation and said, "First of all, I have to make a team by looking at everyone."
I got a chance to get in touch with my juniors, and as I got in touch with each one of them, I started to look at the whole group.
From that kind of thinking, I started to realize that someone had to come out in order for the next child to come out.
Then I felt like I had to make the next child, and I thought I had to do activities while thinking about graduating properly.
Didn't you feel like you should have said it three years ago?
I wanted to say it, but...
Even if the staff talked to me a little bit, they still told me that they wanted me to stay, and they told me that I didn't think it was the time yet, so I said, "Then I'll try a little harder. There may be something big in me."
While I was doing it, I've had a lot of detailed time in the past three years, and I've had a lot of advice from my juniors, and I'm very happy.
But at first, your juniors told you that they wanted you to stay, but has your consciousness changed a little now?
I feel like it's changing.
Really?
Yes.
I wonder if it's okay.
It seems like she felt anxiety at first, but now there are more and more girls who say, "I want to work hard so that the group can be more excited after graduation," so I want the group to be more and more excited after graduation and I want it to be like, "I should have quit," and I want it to continue for a long time, so I think it's okay for AKB48 to graduate
, but I'm happy to be able to see it up close at this timing.
So, Lena is now an SK member and she's like, "Isn't this girl coming?" She's like, "I want you to come," and now she's the newest member, the seventh and second draft. She's super cute, isn't she? She's like a baby.
I was running around like a baby, and I was surprised. "Huh? What's with that back view?" I was told, "I'm SK's seventh member."
They're all young, aren't they? They're full of youth, they're very sparkly, and I'm sure they'll be even more wonderful in the future, and I'm looking forward to it.
They're doing a performance where the party starts now, and when I saw them, they looked a lot like they did seven years ago when they first stood up.
They're so sparkly and I'm really looking forward to their growth now.
And in order for them to continue to shine as SK48 a few years from now, I think it's also important for them to continue to protect and move forward.
How was it for you, Lena, and Julina, who were in the middle of that battle?
It's very difficult, isn't it?
Well, in the beginning, Julina was amazing and in the beginning, I think it was the best.
She was a child and she was carrying a landzer, and she was a sister who was watching over it.
So, I don't know why, but I had the first impression that they were sisters.
So I think it must have been difficult for you as a sister.
Yes.
I don't know why, but I still feel like brothers.
If you ask me about my relationship with them, I think sisters are the closest to me.
But recently, in the bus, they were talking about Yaisukei's selection of members and so on and so forth, and I was looking at them from behind and they were talking about it a lot, weren't they?
Yes.
They were very serious, but when it comes to Julina, it's funny to say it strongly.
No, it's not like that.
And on the other hand, Julina is like, "Huh? Is that so?" "No, it's not like that."
I'm pretty tough on Julina.
I don't think so. I might not choose words for Julina.
You don't spoil her, do you?
I don't spoil her.
Why? Why? Why don't you spoil her?
There's a good reason for that.
She's been doing it since she was 11 years old, and people around her were very kind to Julina.
She was a child.
She's been doing it for a long time, and there was a time when she thought it wasn't good for her to continue doing it.
I think she was about 14 or 15 years old when she became rebellious.
So at that time, I thought it wasn't good for her to continue doing it, and I dared to say it strongly like a mother.
"No" is not good for you. "No" is not good for you.
But I know you're the kind of person who'll say that.
That's why you trust Julina and Lena so much, right?
I hope so.
You trust them so much.
I sometimes reflect on myself thinking that I'm too strong-spoken.
Last but not least, I got an "A" from Jurina too, but for the members.
For the members?
Yes, for everyone.
For the members...
I have a lot of things I want to tell them.
Things I want to say in words.
How should I say it?
I have a lot of thoughts.
But above all, what I like about this group is that there are a lot of seniors.
There are a lot of people who can set an example for me.
So even if I don't get words from them, I want them to look at the back of those people and the various members.
And I want them to... how should I say it?
I want them to put on more and more antennas and absorb a lot of things that are beneficial for them.
I want them to be greedy and always have a wide view and aim higher and higher.
That's right.
You want to see SK's live, don't you?
I want to see it.
You'll come and see it, won't you?
I'll go and see it.
Pressure!
No, no, but it's not like...
Oh no, there's too many people involved. Lena-san is watching.
There's no formation or anything like that.
If you look at it from above, the line is falling apart.
LENA MATSUI SHOW!
It's not sad that flowers wither and wither.
They continue to bloom all their lives, and now they enjoy that role.
The next season will bloom somewhere else.
It's not sad that flowers wither and wither.
They continue to bloom somewhere else.
It's not sad that flowers wither and wither.
They continue to bloom somewhere else.
It's not sad that flowers wither and wither.
They continue to bloom somewhere else.
Ever since I was little, I've been thinking about that day when flowers wither.
I'm not afraid. Even if it's fleeting, I can remember it.
Let's be proud of this youth.
Time goes by and the sunset sets in.
When the stars disappear, the trees rise again.
Everything is a changing scenery.
I'm always here. I don't have any worries.
Let's enjoy the rest of our lives.
I won't forget this place.
I'm always here. I don't have any worries.
Let's enjoy the rest of our lives.
I won't forget this place.
Let's enjoy the rest of our lives.
I won't forget this place.
The wind will blow soon and my petals will fall
Waiting for you to say "thank you" in the middle of the night
I will wave my hand
I will always be here
If you ever feel lonely
Talk to the ground where there is nothing
I am in the earth
The blue sky and you
While thinking about it
I am preparing for a new dream
Thank you for your support for 7 years.
