AISubs v3.7
In June, the 10th AKB48 World Preliminary Elections were held.
From the last 80 members, 20 members were added as a memorandum frame, and 100 members took off their rankings.
In this program, we have followed up on the breaking news of the 80th, 81st, 100th and 101st members on the borderline rankings until the day of the show.
What kind of days did they spend and what kind of feelings did they have for this general election?
And on the day of the show, what was the result of their journey?
AKB48 Special Edition "Borderline Girls".
On May 30, we will announce the results of the special edition.
The members who will be closely attached to the AKB48 will be decided.
101st place, BNK48, Charplan.
The first to be named in the 101st place is BNK48's captain, Charplan, who will be participating for the first time this time.
BNK48 is based in Bangkok, Thailand, which was formed in 2017.
They also started performing in theaters this year.
Their Thai song "Koisuru Fortune Cookie" was a big hit.
The number of views of music videos exceeded 100 million times.
The news spread all over the world that the princess of Thailand also danced.
Such a BNK48 general election first participant was also noticed in this year's election.
And on the borderline of the last place, Charplan's name was called.
This is my first time participating in an election, and I'm very happy.
I've never thought of participating in an election before.
I've never thought of participating in an election before, and I've never thought of participating in an election before.
I'm very happy.
But this time, I have the opportunity to participate in an election for foreign members.
It's something I've never dreamed of before.
And it's possible for me to participate in an election here.
100th place, Ohta Nao.
Her name was called in the 100th place.
She is the oldest member of AKB48 Team 8, Ohta Nao.
Last year's general election, she was 65th place.
She is chosen by upcoming girls.
As a result of the quick report, I was depressed, but I was lucky to be able to participate in the recording, so I don't know what's going on, and I'm really grateful for it. I thought I'd like to do my best until the opening day.
81st place, Haruna Hashimoto.
And the one who ranked 81st in the quick report was Haruna Hashimoto, representative of Team A and Toyama Prefecture. This is the first time she has been called by name in the general election, including the actual performance.
There were a lot of comments like "Good luck with the general election" and "I'm rooting for you", and I was very happy.
I'm really excited today, so I'm going to catch my breath until the general election and do my best to be in the ranking with a smile and energy.
80th place, Joe Errico. 5,278 votes.
Joe Errico of NMB48 ranked 80th in the quick report. Speaking of Joe, last year...
I couldn't be in the ranking...
I'm so sorry you couldn't be in the ranking...
Joe, who was 81st in the quick report, was closely followed by the program. However, on the day of the performance, he was never called by name.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
I'm surprised.
89th place was announced as a thank you party, and I'm grateful for it, but I was very frustrated, so this year I definitely want to be in the ranking.
The days of each of the four members on such a borderline have begun.
While continuing her activities as an idol, Charplan also goes to college.
At college, she is studying science.
English is used in class, and Charplan is learning Japanese as well.
Charplan is really smart. She used to like Japan and Japanese anime, and now she can speak Japanese by herself.
For me, there are still many parts of Thai that I can't speak, and there are many people who talk to me in Japanese, so Charplan is the most irreplaceable person for me.
I think I can work with AKB48 members who are also Charplan's dream.
I would be happy if Charplan could make such a wonderful experience for me.
Since childhood, Charplan has loved Japanese manga and anime.
And when she was 20 years old, she knew that BNK48 would debut in Thailand and applied for an audition.
I would like to do my best and make Charplan's dream come true.
I'm really happy and I will do my best.
I love you, Char!
Thank you!
You know what? When we announce it, you'll definitely be next to me.
You'll be next to me.
Really? Should we hug and hug together?
No, really.
Really?
I'm happy with either of you.
If you have any questions, let's go in and think about it together.
Let's think about it together. Let's call for help together.
It's amazing.
What's with this software?
Ms. Ohta, who longed to be an actress, auditioned for Team 8 when she was 19 years old.
She successfully passed the audition and is now representing Team 8 in Kyoto.
And she has brought Team 8 together as the oldest member of Team 8.
The general election is expected for a further step up from last year's 65th place.
Ms. Ohta, this is the first time you've met a fan since the announcement of the news.
Thank you. See you later. Bye bye.
There were a lot of words like "congratulations on 80th place".
I'm very happy.
I felt again that I should work hard with my fans and live together.
Last year, you were in 81st place.
This year you were in 80th place.
That's amazing.
Isn't this also some kind of luck?
Do you think so?
That's true.
That's luck.
Thank you for being in 80th place.
June 12th.
On this day, Team 8 Hashimoto and Ms. Haruna headed to a place like this when they were told that the cameras would be in close contact with each other for a day in their hometown.
I'm going up the observatory of Toyama City Hall.
I'm going to a place where I can see Toyama.
I'm going to calm down and then go to Nagoya.
It's sunny.
I went on a tour with my teammates in Toyama on the other side of Toyama Station over there.
My family comes anywhere.
Not only Toyama.
They also come for the next general election.
Ms. Hashimoto really wanted to join AKB48.
But at first, her family was against it.
At first, we were against it.
We couldn't do it.
We thought we'd give up if we lost.
But we lost.
For lunch, her family loves okonomiyaki.
Mayonnaise is really good here.
It was delicious.
And finally, we came to this place.
I'm going to calm down and then vote for AKB48.
Ms. Hashimoto seems to be having fun at a newly built museum.
But she's still thinking about AKB48.
When she announced the result...
I was studying at school.
It's not like I wasn't interested in it.
I was really nervous.
And just before it started, I got a call from Nao-chan.
Is it going to be tough again this year?
I looked at my phone and said goodbye.
I was studying.
And when I looked at my dad's phone in the car after class...
Oh, we're in 81st place.
All I could do was thank my fans.
Since last year's general election, I've been giving out 65th place to my fans.
Isn't it amazing that you're in the center?
When I saw Nao-chan in the center last year...
I was able to see her really cool back.
Nao Ohtanao
Ms. Ohtanao was here on June 13th.
I wanted to go pray.
I wish I was in Kyoto.
But I couldn't go back to Kyoto.
So I'm going to do my best as a Kanda Myojin.
What she's asking for is...
Of course I want to rank up, but I can't tell you in detail.
It's a secret.
I'll go from the top.
Here I go.
I did it!
Last year, I didn't know what it was like to rank up.
I wanted to do my best.
That's why I ranked up.
Since I ranked up, I got to see a lot of things.
I got to experience a lot of things.
I think I've been doing what I can for a year.
I think it's a win-win situation for me to show my fans what I've been doing for a year.
On the other hand, in Osaka...
For some reason, Jo is playing catchball.
Her opponent is Airi Tanigawa of NMB.
Before the general election, she really wanted to talk to her.
I feel like I'm always with Jo.
We're on different teams, but we're still together.
But when I see you, I feel at ease.
When I see you, I feel at ease.
Originally, the two of them are of the same generation.
However, Jo, who has been called the next-generation ace of expectations...
She can't stand the pressure.
Once she decides to quit being an idol.
When she announced her graduation, we went to a family restaurant together.
I love that story.
I love it too.
We exchanged each other's key holders as proof that we can be friends even after graduation.
But about a year later, she messaged me.
I messaged her.
Are you thinking of going back?
She messaged me first.
I was so happy.
I was waiting for her to come back.
But I didn't know when she would come back.
Then, all of a sudden, she came to Osaka-jo Hall for her 3rd anniversary concert.
There is someone I would like to introduce.
What?
Yes.
Joe Eriko!
Yeah, I was surprised like you guys and was like "today?!"
And then we were like "long time no see"
By the way, we exchanged the key holder and we were like "how is it?"
But before that we were crying
We were fighting
I'm sorry
I'm glad we were crying
But like
Yeah
I felt like I've grown up
And like we're a team
I've never seen Joe like that before she graduated
I've only seen her crying
And I feel like she's reborn
Yay!
It's totally different
Totally
3 days until the performance
Today we're at the park
Potato show!
Huh, why?
She's avoiding me
Because I was 80th place
Let's do our best!
So like, in this park
Like "should we give this guy a vote?"
Yeah
It might happen
Yeah, that's right
Right?
Yeah, it's important
We'll do our best!
Bye bye!
We won't use it
It's Shioi-chan, Mion-chan and Rei-chan!
Okay, say something
AKB48 show!
Okay, thank you!
Joe-san's favorite L.M.B.
Team B-2's Rikaty and Shimizune-kane
The general election is in 2 days
I'm going to Nagoya!
Chaplin is also going to Nagoya with her B.N.K. members
The rehearsal is over and now
Ta-da!
I'm with "itami kotoze"
What are you going to eat now?
No questions!
Looks delicious!
I'm going to eat "nagoya miss" and gain strength!
Let's eat!
The day before the performance
Today I'm going to Nagoya
I'm going to calm my heart and take my worries for tomorrow.
The members spend a day in Nagoya to rehearse for the concert held on the day of the general election.
I'm nervous! It's my first time on such a big stage.
It's my first time.
It's my first time on such a big stage.
It's like a dream!
AKB48 is going to have a concert with an all girls idol group.
This time, the members are going to a fan's house.
So, we asked the fans to make a seat for us.
It's around here.
It's crazy.
I sat on the chair when it was announced.
I remember my feelings last year.
It's like...
My heart hurts now.
It's over, but if it's over, it'll start tomorrow, so I'm worried.
Even at concerts, there are voting rights and voting rights, and it seems like you can get one by one, and I think it would be nice if we could perform with the feelings of gratitude to all the fans who worked hard with us during the general election period.
After all, it's the opening day in the end, so I hope you can believe in everyone and pray and wait with me so that you can call me by my name.
I'm very excited.
Maybe it's because Takashi Sayaka-chan is next to me right now, but I'm really excited.
I'm worried.
It's early in the morning tomorrow, so I'll go to bed.
I'd like to go in the closet and sleep.
It's finally the day of the general election.
First of all, a concert held in the morning.
It's a stage of gratitude for the fans who have continued to support us.
I'm nervous. "Liver" comes out of "beautiful potato". I'll do my best.
I'm ready for "liver".
In the audience seats, there are push seats for each member to cheer for each member.
Performances in front of fans.
And they call for the last vote.
I'm so happy. I didn't know there are people who support us like this. I want to support them more and more.
The concert consisted of members' requests.
Hashimoto-san requested "Meeting Day/Farewell Day".
It's a one-time-a-year important event that confirms our bond with our fans.
No matter what the result is, I hope our members and our fans will continue to move forward from tomorrow.
I'm crying.
It's normal for you to stand on a stage like this in a different country, isn't it?
The stage was very special.
Oh, really? It didn't look like that at all.
But I'm happy.
I'm proud of you.
Yamamoto-san, look at me.
I'm really happy.
I'm happy, Shabu-shabu-chan.
There's no nickname "Shabu-shabu-chan" in Japan.
The concert is over and the announcement will finally begin.
Will the four members of the borderline be able to rank in?
I hope I can give you a happy report this year.
The 100th place goes to...
Oh my, Shizuka!
Ranked-in members who make you explode with joy.
And the moment you've been waiting for will come.
79th place, NMB48 Team B2, Joe & Eriko.
If I were ranked in the general election, there's something I've decided to say.
Let me say it.
NMB48 Team B2 is back!
I'm so happy.
I didn't think I'd say it.
I'm glad I came.
Are you laughing?
I'm happy.
Furthermore...
The 62nd AKB48 Team 8.
AKB48 Team B.
Ohta! Nao!
I ranked up.
With gratitude...
I'll do my best to be your sun again this year.
Thank you so much, 62nd!
Thank you!
I thought I couldn't do it anymore.
But the fans said they wanted me in.
I couldn't reach the next girls.
But they answered me.
I'm glad I stayed in shape like this.
I'm happy that I have more treasures.
The voting went on.
The remaining seats were cut to 40 seats.
And...
39th...
BNK48...
CHA-PLAN!
CHA-PLAN.
From 101st to 60th...
They ranked up.
Thank you so much, everyone.
Thank you for making BNK48...
Japanese, Thai and Italian...
Able to exist.
BNK48 and us...
Made it possible for us...
To have a concert today.
I'm a fan of BNK48.
I don't have a mic. But it's okay. I have a mic, too. I'm so happy. It's the last one.
In the 10th general election, Ms. Matsui Jurina became queen and closed the curtain.
And this time, one of the four members of the borderline didn't call her name until the end.
She won the lottery and went home with the damaged car.
I don't know. I haven't done anything yet.
From now on, I want to challenge myself and grow my feelings.
That day, Hashimoto couldn't talk to the camera.
The next day, a handshake party was held at the same Nagoya Dome.
Ohta and Jo talk to the fans with a cheerful smile.
First of all, there were a lot of words like "welcome home" and I was happy.
Now that I'm in the front of the line, I think it made sense for me to stand up.
There's a limited amount of time for a handshake party, and there's a lot of things I want to say.
I hope you can feel my feelings a little bit.
I want you to think I'm glad you pushed me.
I thought I'd do my best.
And these members, too.
What frustrated me the most was that I wasn't among the four of you.
That's what I'm waiting for.
If we have a general election next year, I hope we can make good use of it.
Next year, we'll get a quick report and we'll get a real call.
I'd like to do my best to take it one step further than this year.
Thank you very much.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
Thank you very much.
And a message from Chaplin.
One month after the general election,
Hashimoto Haruna went to stay at Yokoyama Yui's house
and talked about a lot of things.
339 people passionately wished for the AKB48 world final election.
Members who were delighted with the rankings.
Members who got off the stage without calling their names.
Both members are already looking at the future and starting to move once the presentation is over.
What kind of drama will be born next year?
