AISubs v3.7
It's early in the morning.
Was it live today?
Yes, it's live.
I heard that the opening starts with us.
Yes, we heard it earlier.
We came this far.
We are nervous.
Let's practice a little.
Yes, let's do it.
We are in front of the AKB48 theater.
The show will start soon, so let's go inside.
Let's go.
When you walk in the hallway, you can see photos of AKB48 members.
There are so many AKB members.
Yes, there are a lot of members.
There are also researchers and members of Team 4.
Where is Yui-chan?
She is here.
She is at the top of Team A.
She hasn't changed.
It's true.
I took this picture last year.
Suzuran is here, too.
She was here.
She hasn't changed much.
Really?
Her hair color is different.
Really?
But I can see that there are a lot of members of Team B.
Yes, there are a lot of members of Team B.
Let's go to the lobby.
Yes.
Let's go.
You can enter the lobby even if you don't have a ticket.
By the way, Team B performance will be held today.
Also, Tama Bibic's birthday party will be held.
Wow, cute.
Tama Booley Boo is so cute.
Wow, fans make flowers for you, don't they?
That's right. Everyone is so excited today.
If you go further, there is a cafe where you used to work.
Does it still look like the cafe?
Yes, but it's not open now, but it still looks like the cafe.
Wow.
What is that, Suzuran?
It's a little embarrassing to say, but...
What is it?
I've never seen it before, but today...
This is a movie...
"Mamorigami"!
Yes, "Mamorigami"!
There are two goldfish.
They have names.
They are called "tomato" and "kabu".
I think "kabu" is the white one.
That's right.
Yes, that's about it.
That's about it for the show.
That's about it, right?
Let's relax.
Excuse me, the show is about to start.
What?!
Pedaling with all my might on my bike, I climb up the hill.
Even the shirt that's blown in the wind is frustrating now.
I've finally realized my true feelings.
Run!
If you like it, let's say you like it.
Let's be silly and say we like it.
Let's say you like it.
Even if you sweat a lot, you won't be sad.
You're honest.
The tunnel of dust leads to summer.
It's a shortcut.
You're good at it.
Let's say "I love you"
AKB48 show!
AKB48 8th anniversary special!
Today is AKB48 show special!
AKB48 held their first concert in this AKB48 theater on December 8th, 2005.
So we would like to take you to the countdown of AKB48 8th anniversary special from this memorable place!
First of all, please have a look at this!
AKB48 theater in Akihabara, Tokyo.
It started eight years ago.
In the summer of 2005, Akimoto Yasshi, general producer of AKB48, started recruiting all girls to AKB48, an idol group based in Akihabara.
And on December 8th, 2005, AKB48 held their first concert in a theater.
At the beginning of the concert, the number of customers increased, but three months later, their first full house was also recorded.
They have continued to perform in theaters more than 3,000 times so far.
And for over seven years...
AKB48 has grown to be called a national idol group.
However, even now, the origin of AKB48 is this theater with 250 employees.
AKB48's anniversary is on December 8th, when they perform for the first time.
Every year on this day, two pink tapes are put on the pillars of the theater.
Now, there are seven of them.
The date is about 30 minutes later, on December 8th.
AKB48 will soon celebrate their 18-year-old birthday.
Tonight, on this anniversary day,
we will broadcast live from the theater in Akihabara,
and we will welcome you with us in front of the TV.
Thank you for watching us today.
The next corner is AKB48 Theater Live Report.
In this corner, we will be reporting AKB48 Theater from corner to corner in a live broadcast.
Who will be reporting first?
First of all, we would like to introduce you to this stage where we usually perform.
There are many secrets hidden here.
I'm nervous.
You are nervous, right?
First of all, from this pillar.
I want to introduce myself.
Do you want to introduce yourself?
I'm Haruka Shimazaki.
I'm Haruka Shimazaki. Nice to meet you.
Good luck!
First of all, from this pillar.
Are you okay?
I'm too nervous.
We are in a hometown.
Are you okay?
At first, it was this pillar.
Now, it is accepted by fans.
In the past, there was information that the pillar was in the way and it was hard to see.
Now, it is an important pillar because it is the symbol of AKB48 Theater.
Next, this number.
There is a number on the floor.
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Do you know what this number is?
What is it?
Actually, this is the standing position of the members, and the number "0" here is the standing position of the center.
Next, please look at the wall behind the stage.
This wall looks like a normal wall, but it can be rotated.
This is the standing position of the members, and the number "0" here is the standing position of the center.
How was the trip?
It was wonderful.
And there is more.
The floor of this stage actually moves.
You like it, don't you?
Staff, please.
Let me show you.
We sing and dance like this.
I want you!
Shimazaki Haruka and...
Shimada Haruka's AKB48 Theater stage report!
Hello, everyone. I'm Kawaii.
I'm in the dressing room now.
Hello, I'm Kawaii.
I'm in the dressing room now.
This is the dressing room where you change your clothes and do your makeup in front of the stage.
Now, let me show you your lockers.
Your lockers are full of various things.
Who do you want to know?
Do you want me to say "Shimada-san"?
"Shimada-san" is dangerous.
Ta-dah!
There are a lot of things in it.
I borrowed these pants from Shimada-san for more than half a year.
I'm sorry.
You didn't wash it, did you?
No, I didn't.
And Mariko Nakamura-san told me to open my locker.
So, I'm going to open it.
Oh!
There is a self-portrait of Mariko Nakamura-san in it.
Self-portrait!
It's cute, isn't it?
Let's put it back in.
What is it?
There is a lot of luggage in it.
When AKB members enter the theater,
they do their makeup, engine, and costumes.
Kawai-san, are you okay?
I'm okay. Leave it to me.
I'm a little nervous.
They are standing on the stage like this.
Welcome back!
Kawai-san, you should have done better.
You look different.
I made a mistake.
Photo, photo, photo!
I'm a little nervous.
That's all for "Gakuya Report"!
From now on, we'd like to ask the members about their memories of the theater.
What should we ask?
We've been here for 8 years, so we should know a lot of things.
By the way, there's an episode I'd like to talk about...
Oh, there she is!
Good morning, Yokoyama-san!
Well, I'm a 9th grade student.
Other members of the 9th grade...
When was it?
The 5th anniversary of the theater...
At that time, "shoukaku" was announced at the theater.
It left a great impression on me.
I was so happy at the theater that I cried.
I cried the most.
At that time, I wasn't there.
"shoukaku" was announced.
I wasn't there.
Were you on a school trip?
I was on a school trip.
What did you know about it?
When I got back...
When I got off the plane and turned on my cell phone, I heard "shoukaku, congratulations!"
I called my manager and asked, "Did I say "shoukaku"?"
He said, "Yeah, you said "shoukaku", congratulations!"
He's gone now. His name is Sakai-san.
I was surprised.
I was annoyed.
Anyone else?
I'm a 5th grader.
I think 5th graders have a lot of memories.
When I was a researcher, there was an incident where the encore wasn't activated.
I think it's the first time since then.
There was no encore.
How did you feel about that?
You can sing the main song and wait for the encore, but you're changing clothes.
You couldn't hear the encore, could you?
I couldn't hear it.
"You're late today," you said.
But we were preparing.
But after about three minutes, it wasn't there anymore.
That's how it ended.
It's painful!
For us researchers, it was like, "Was our performance that bad that we didn't have an encore?"
We reflected on ourselves and decided to work harder next time.
Other members also contacted us.
If there wasn't an encore...
If it wasn't in three minutes...
Please pull yourself together. If it wasn't in three minutes, you wouldn't be able to come out.
"That's not normal," I remember being told that.
Thank you.
It's over now.
Anyone else?
Oh, Nanami.
Suzuran and Yui-chan mentioned it earlier.
There's a B-concert today.
And we're having a birthday party.
I think it's only AKB theater fans can have a birthday party like this.
I'm sure some of you have experienced it, but it used to be a real cake.
This is it.
It's a cake from "Namida Surprise".
In the past, cakes made by fans came out in real life.
In Mii-chan's case, it came out like a cream puff.
It was nostalgic.
It was amazing.
There was a flower bouquet, too.
Fans were fighting over cakes.
Eat it, eat it, eat it.
It was amazing.
It was.
But "Namida Surprise" cake is getting worn out.
Eat it, eat it, eat it.
That's right.
Is there anyone else?
Yes!
Ms. O-ja-mi-a-o-s.
When I was a research student, I was sick and had a hard time.
At that time, we were...
You don't have to eat that much.
What was it?
You don't have to eat that much.
Ms. Takamina came out.
I want to know how you felt at that time.
It was my first time.
I was scared.
There was a Kenkese park that day.
It was just a park under construction.
I did something else that day.
Miyazaki said he would rest in Taichogu.
I said, "Takashi, why don't you come out?"
But everyone was doing their best at Kenkese, and one of them came in and said, "Isn't it a little strict?"
He said, "No, you can do it."
Who said that?
Can you do it?
Then make it a twin-tail.
At that time, my cat had a twin-tail.
I said, "I can't be a cat, but I can imitate a twin-tail."
So I did a twin-tail.
Thank you very much.
By the way, we've been talking about it so far.
Hey, you.
Mr. Kobayashi.
Why are you so tight?
I'm not tight.
You've been on stage at most of them. Eight hundred times!
Wow!
You've been on stage eight hundred times in the past ten months.
How do you feel about being on stage eight hundred times?
What's the most memorable performance for you?
No, but now I'm first in the show more than eight hundred and twenty times.
That's amazing.
That's right.
I want to go up to a thousand times.
Wow!
That's great.
I want to leave something behind and put it down.
So I want to go up to a thousand times.
That's wonderful.
I see.
That's a wonderful goal.
So, what's the most memorable performance for you?
Memories?
You've been on stage a little more than a thousand times.
The most memorable performance for me is...
It's been exposed.
What is it?
When I first opened on the first day, I was in the center position.
That's right.
It's a legendary position.
I was in the center position.
That's right.
But I couldn't dance too much, and I was removed from the center position in one day.
That's a great memory for me.
I'm sure some of you don't know about it, but Mr. Kobayashi is here.
He stood in the hot position in front of me on the first day.
But the next day, he was removed from the center position.
Stop it.
You're in the hot position.
You're in the hot position. Stop it.
But I've seen it all.
What is it?
What's with that hand?
I've seen it all.
I've seen all the fun and hard things.
Now I can see you all in a calm mood.
That's why you were pulling your tail, right?
That's right.
I feel like you're telling me to do my best.
I see.
You're telling me to do my best.
I want you to do your best.
By the way, Ms. Minegishi.
I was also removed from the center position in two days.
Really?
That's right.
Some of you may not know.
Actually, there were five of us at first.
But from a certain period of time, there was a unit shuffle.
There were seven of us.
It's SCAHILLA SEVEN.
That's where I joined, Ms. Minegishi.
Thank you very much.
But it was too much for me to be removed from the center position.
I was too excited.
I felt like everyone was going to wake me up.
It was like this.
I was so excited.
I haven't been wearing skirts for a while.
It was important to me for a while, but now it's getting attention.
When I wear skirts, I show my underarms so I can't show my underarms.
Is it called "raw bread"?
The video is about AKB48 all girls idol group from Japan.
The first question is...
I have dissatisfaction with this theater.
I have no complaints.
I have a lot of worries.
Haachan, why?
Team B had a rehearsal the other day.
Then, the floor of the theater was taken off.
How many years ago was it?
2, 3, 4 years ago.
We are replacing the floor.
But, we are having trouble again.
It's our 8th year.
So, we want you to change the floor.
You have a dissatisfaction with the staff, don't you?
The floor, right?
Well, I think...
What do you think?
Are you going to replace it?
Kitagawa-san?
Are you going to replace it?
It's OK. We are going to replace it someday.
It seems like you don't have any plans.
Who has a dissatisfaction?
The round one has a dissatisfaction.
Sakko-san?
Of course, I love this theater.
But, as Shimana said, my back is raised.
When my back is raised very high, I am quite tall.
So, I hit my hands and head against the electricity.
So, I want to raise my ceiling a little higher.
It's a little embarrassing.
And if I wear heels, I will hit my head too much.
So, I have a dissatisfaction with the members.
You have a dissatisfaction with this place itself, Sakko-san.
But, I love it.
You have a dissatisfaction, don't you?
Let's ask the other members.
How about you, Amina-san?
The theater is used by 16 people.
So, 16 people don't feel small.
But, if there are 6 people like back dancers or researchers,
when they enter the theater, it will be small.
So, they have to wait in the elevator hall outside.
It's a little uncomfortable.
I hope it will be expanded a little more.
It's already in a mess!
I need to revise it.
Ielectricity will solve it.
Let's move on to the next question.
Here it is!
There is a secret you want to reveal about your members.
It's a long one.
Please answer it with a circle or X.
Everyone is hesitating.
Some people want to reveal it with bread.
Minegi-san is revealing it with her face.
There are quite a lot of them.
The only one joining us today is Saho of Team 4.
Saho, stand up.
I haven't had a chance to talk with my senior members yet.
It's especially hard for me to talk with them.
Who is it?
Don't say that!
She's making senior members angry.
Who is it, Saho?
It's Takamina-san.
It's a lie! You're such a free spirit!
It's a lie, isn't it?
What is it? What is it? You startled me! You startled me!
Your feet are weird!
What's wrong? What is it? What is it?
It's like... it's like... you look busy...
Well...
You might be a little careless like that, but...
I recently found out that the dress you gave me was originally Takamina-san's, so I wanted to thank you...
Actually...
First of all, you have a problem!
What does that mean?
You startled me! You startled me!
You startled me!
It's popular now, isn't it?
Oh, you're right! It's okay!
You look busy, but when you're not busy, you talk a lot!
Really?
Yes, let's talk like this!
Yes!
Yes, let's talk a lot!
Yes!
Do your best! I'll eat that, too!
Oh! I'll eat that, too!
I'll eat that, too!
Thank you!
Yes!
Yes! Then, shall we move on to those who have an excuse?
Then...
Hmm... Who has one?
Raise your hand if you have one!
What is it?
Kitahara-san is... It's a penalty, isn't it?
Then, Kikuchi-san!
I'm also Takamina-san, but...
Why is that?
Recently, I've been like that, too, but Takamina-san never washes her hands after using the bathroom!
She still does it!
When Takamina was a member of AKB48, she kept saying "I'll fix it" many times on the show.
But you still do it, don't you?
I used to watch you when you wash your hands in the bathroom.
But you didn't do it.
I'm sorry, but I'll be honest with you.
Do you have a reason for it?
No, I don't.
You don't want to do it?
No, I don't.
You're lying!
I'm serious!
You don't want to do it?
To be honest, I hate washing my hands and using the bathroom the most.
But when we shake hands and stuff, it's too much of a joke.
When you shake hands and use the bathroom with a young girl, I feel like I'm used to seeing you wash your hands in the bathroom.
"Takamina-san, do you wash your hands?" At times like that, I'm really careful.
You're careful.
Yeah, there are times like that.
Can you do me a favor?
What is it?
Not only Takamina-san, but also Kawaii-moto, do you wash your hands?
Wait a minute!
I want to tell you this, but it's finally November and it's 59 days!
Everyone! Hurry up and get on the stage!
- Don't make fun of Kawai! - This...
This is a problem right now.
Don't wash it when it's dry!
I'm scared!
Wait a minute!
We don't have time for excuses!
15 seconds before!
We'll start slowly 10 seconds before!
10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!
Time's up!
Congratulations!
Director, please give us the 8th anniversary video!
Please!
Let's do it! Let's do it!
I'm sorry about the microphone.
It's an annual event every year.
It's been a while since we've seen each other like this!
Director, please give us the video!
It's pretty!
This is the promotional video.
Okay, we're done!
8th anniversary video!
8! 9! 8! 7! 4! 3! 2! 1!
The classroom's windows are full of bright sunsets
And a little bit of spring calendar
If you look around during class, you'll see the same uniforms
Friends who look like adults
Until we go our separate ways
To our respective futures
The wings of dreams grow on their backs
Until the cherry blossoms bloom
Somewhere a bell of hope will resound
It will give us tomorrow's freedom and courage
Until the cherry blossoms bloom
Somewhere someone has a color
that is different from AKB48's songs.
We fought, we called, we cried
For some reason, I miss those days
When I look back, there is only happiness and sadness
I was never alone
In my graduation photo
I was smiling
I want to say goodbye to the passing season
Goodbye
The petals of my tears
Flow down my cheek and start walking
I look up at the blue sky and take a deep breath
The petals of my tears
Are as beautiful as my memories
AKB48 SHOW, look forward to it next week!
