You can only say "I'm happy!"
Yes, I'm really happy.
This studio is full of handmade items, but the only chair you're sitting in is the chair that won first place.
That's right.
How does it feel?
It's the best chair I've ever sat in.
The best chair you've ever sat in.
It's the best chair I've ever sat in.

So we introduced upcoming girls and future girls.
They are lined up now.
Once again, this is the first time we have introduced upcoming girls.
71, Tanabe-san!
We are of the same generation.
The same generation of three.
I was sitting diagonally in front of you.
When you called my name...
When you called my name, I was really surprised and I felt like Miyuki Torii.
I was surprised and happy at the same time.
I've been working hard for 8 years and I'm finally rewarded like this.
I'm about to cry.
It's the first time for AKB48 to win 6 times in a row.
It really proves that there are people who are watching us.
Do you have any future girls or upcoming girls you're interested in?
I'm happy that the members of the same team are in the rankings.
I think Nakki really cares about her fans.
Uchiyama from Team B is also in the rankings for the first time.
What kind of members are there in your team?
I got a present and a letter for my birthday the other day.
I got a letter that said I might not be reliable, but I'll do my best.
I'm happy that a junior like me came out.
In your speech, you talked about how you value handshakes and theater voices.
What did you feel when you heard that speech?
I thought it was really true.
I thought it would be rewarded for my hard work.
AKB's activities are on TV and in theaters.
Is it important to have handshakes and theater activities?
It's important.
There's a bond that's born from interacting with fans at close range.
I think that's why we have our current AKB group.
I want to cherish it from now on.
Up until now, it was upcoming girls and future girls.
Let's move on to the next announcement.

This 43rd place is my gold medal.
So I want to polish this gold medal and shine forever.
Thanks to everyone's support, I was able to stand on stage with Chibi Airin again this year.

Thank you very much!
I'd like to say something.
She taught me many things.
I wouldn't be me now without her.
Yuko-san! Thank you!
I don't know how much I can contribute to AKB48,
but please stay with AKB48 for a little longer
and get to know AKB48 as an idol group!
Thank you very much!
I will cherish your feelings and
I will continue to do my best
in AKB48!
Thank you!
To be honest, I'm very frustrated!
I've been frustrated, but...
Oh, please!
Yes!
Oh, I'm fine like this!
Yes!
Thank you!
Cute!
We introduced you to Next Girls and Undergirls.
Looking at it like this, I think the girls idol group really stood out this time.
That's right. Especially...
Next Girls...
Next Girls is...
Yes!
13 girls from the girls idol group came on the 16th.
That's amazing! I can feel the momentum.
How do you feel about it?
It's amazing, but I feel like I'm gaining momentum every year.
Especially this year, the number of members of HKT48 is increasing.
Next Girl and Tashima Mer are also increasing in order.
So is Anai.
Isn't that a threat?
That's right. I feel a sense of crisis, but I can't lose to AKB.
I feel like I'm a saint.
When other groups get excited, do you get excited too?
Yes, I do. I feel like we're investing in each other.
We're friends, but we're also good rivals.
So I think it's a good choice for us to compete with each other and improve each other.
Who do you care about in Next Girl?
Well, for me...
I was happy when Love-tan, who is now active in HKT48, got first place in the ranking.
That's right. When Love-tan got 42nd place and gained more than 18,000 votes...
When I'm called every year, I'm always like...
My chest is hot.
What do you think?
Do you think the bond with your peers will continue over the years?
I think it will.
Love-tan is far away from Tokyo and Hakata.
Even if we don't see each other as often, I feel like we have a connection in our hearts.
So you're talking about breaking up.
I feel like we've grown up since we've had that experience.
Some people say we broke up because we weren't on good terms, but it's not like that.
That's right. We're good friends.
Let's move on to the undergirls.
Oh, but there are AKB members.
There are a lot of girls.
But it's my first time in this ranking.
That's amazing.
That's right. She was the first ranking member to challenge herself for the fourth time.
She cried a lot.
She had beautiful eyes.
That's amazing.
Oh, but there's a lot of girls in the team.
Especially Juri-chan.
That's right. She got a lot of good news.
That's right. Takahashi Juri-san got 21st place.
That's right. She kept her place and got first place for the first time.
I'm happy for her.
That's right.
Speaking of breaking up, I had something in my heart about Juhachi's speech with Iruki Watanabe-san.
That's right.
Well, each of you has a good speech that makes you feel honest.
It resonates with you, doesn't it?
Also, you got a message on the phone from Iriyama-san.
Yes, Annin.
That's right, Annin.
I get a lot of inquiries via e-mails.
But she said, "It's more energetic than you think."
When I heard her voice over the phone today, I was relieved that she looked very energetic.
That's right.
Matsumura-san, who is 17th place, also came to the venue.
That's amazing.
Yes.
It's amazing.
It is amazing.
It's amazing. She herself is also very enthusiastic in a good way.
After all, there is a title of "central honorary researcher", so there is also a great will to draw researchers as a whole.
The fans are also cheering a lot, so it's amazing. It's an all girls center.
I'm looking forward to it. What will happen? I'm looking forward to it from now on.
I'm looking forward to it. What will happen? It's an all girls center.

To be honest with you, it must have been hard for you. You must have been scared, right?
I'm not scared at all! I'm okay!
Are you okay?
Yes! I'm okay!
Have you recovered from your feelings?
I'm totally fine now! As long as there are people who support me, my fans and my members, I will never lose! I'm okay!
Is that so?
Yes.
How do you want to report this to people in Nugizaka?
Oh, I'm sorry!
Now, Nogizaka 46 is performing on stage.
Is that so?
Oh, isn't it?
Maybe you're watching it now.
I'm not watching it.
Maybe you're not watching it.
I can't watch it.
Because we're performing on stage.
Can you say something to Sassy with your microphone facing back?
Can I say something to Sassy?
Someday, I'll surpass Sassy!
I'll do my best!
Look at Sassy's face!
One, two...
Effort always pays off!
Effort always pays off.
I'll prove it with my life.
Thank you very much, everyone!
I, Kojima Haruna...
I was going to announce my graduation here, but I won't!
Next year, when I turn 18, I'll be number one in the general election!
This is AKB48's serious election. This is the difficulty of the consecutive elections.
I don't know who will be number one yet.
I don't know. I don't know, but I'm experiencing the pressure of being number one.
So I want to support those members with all my might.
Let's look back from 16th place to 2nd place.
Yes.
As we expected, you're in 2nd place, which means you're in 1st place.
Let's take a look.
16th place is for you, Kawai.
You're in 1st place for the first time and you're on stage now.
Yes.
I'm so happy.
You looked so energetic.
I love your beautiful smile.
I was relieved to see you smile again.
I was happier than I was when I was chosen for the first time.
You still look relieved.
Yes, I do.
I see.
And there's one more.
14th place is for you, Ikoma.
Thank you, Ikoma.
I'm so happy.
Let's give her a round of applause.
Yes.
As a member of Team B.
Yes.
I used to be in 56th place.
Yes, you were in 56th place.
Yes, I was.
That's where you started.
I was praying that I could make it to where I am now.
I'm so happy and excited to be able to be chosen for various positions.
Me too.
Yes.
And now for the first announcement.
1st place goes to AKB48 Team B.
The highest number of votes for AKB48 Team B so far is 159,854.
Congratulations!
Thank you so much, everyone!
Everyone! Thank you!
Now please listen to the speech.
No!
From now on, I want to be a member who can make many juniors look at my back and think strongly that they want to follow me.
Thank you so much! Thank you so much! Thank you so much!
AKB48 group is...
I will protect you!
I'm embarrassed.
Are you embarrassed?
I'm embarrassed.
About what?
About me talking.
No, no, no.
It's embarrassing for me to watch my own speech every year.
Were you thinking about it in advance or did you do it on the spot?
Well, I do think about it every year when I'm waiting for my turn,
but as I get closer and closer, I can't think of it at all.
I can't think of my honest feelings at that time.
Unexpectedly, when I stand in front of the microphone, words come out naturally.
It is ' de - E de, it i te...
I talked with my mom's big girl today as well.
The last speech was full of smiles.
That's right.
I'm glad.
However, when you were waiting for the second announcement, your expression was...
You looked forward and looked like you were looking at a samurai.
Samurai?
I was looking at you thinking you were really cool.
Did you expect to be first place?
I've been aiming for first place for about a year or two before that.
Especially this year, I had a passionate feeling that I would win this year.
I had a passionate feeling that I would win first place when I was waiting for the second announcement.
That was your expression.
That's right.
At the time of the first announcement, you had more than 10,000 votes.
That's right.
To be honest, what did you think at the time?
To be honest, I was frustrated.
However, it was only two weeks before the announcement.
I thought I could catch up and I would definitely catch up.
On the contrary, I thought I could do better.
I'm really grateful to the fans for doing their best with the same feelings.
And you came in first place.
How did the other members call you?
Everyone congratulated me with a happy smile.
I was so happy.
I felt like I came in first place with that voice.
When the stage was turned over, the same age as me and JKT's Harugo were there.
The same age as me and JKT's Harugo were there.
I was so happy and cried a lot.
How do you want to lead AKB as a center in the future?
How do I want to lead AKB as a center in the future?
It's been eight years since I joined AKB.
I don't like to give up or be half-hearted.
I've done everything with all my might.
If I don't give up, I'll be able to achieve my goals.
I want to be a senior who makes juniors want to follow me.
Actually, there's a reward for Mayu Watanabe, who came in first place in the general election.
Please stand up and pull this shoe up.
What is it? Is it a hot spring?
It's not a hot spring.
I'd like you to take a break, but you may not be able to take a break.
Mayu Watanabe's one-man show will be held as AKB48.
Please look forward to the broadcast.
Can you sing?
Please look forward to what we will do.
Goodbye, everyone!
Thank you very much!
