AISubs v3
I'm Tawara Soichiro. Nice to meet you.
The other day, at the Dome Stadium, I saw Atsuko Maeda's graduation event.
It was interesting.
Especially, Atsuko Maeda and Takamina's last part,
I thought it would be a nerve-wracking match.
When did you see it, Mr. Kobayashi?
I was sick.
Oh, I see.
Actually, this is also a hint. AKB can't end at the Tokyo Dome.
I haven't seen it yet.
Only Mr. Kobayashi hasn't seen it.
Mr. Kobayashi is the most enthusiastic.
Mr. Mori, who are you a fan of?
I'm a fan of Yukirin, Yuki Kashiwagi.
I was weak at rock-paper-scissors.
You're watching.
Mr. Takamina, who are you a fan of?
I'm a fan of Takamina.
Mr. Hamamatsu.
I've been watching the Dome for three days.
My favorite is Paruru.
I won first place in a rock-paper-scissors tournament.
This is my favorite.
Do you like Paruru?
I'm going to say this right away.
I was even more convinced when I saw the DVD of the Tokyo Dome.
I was convinced that Paruru was Atsuko Maeda's successor.
You don't like Oshima?
No, I don't like Oshima.
There's only Paruru in this DVD.
I'll say it all of a sudden.
Atsuko is the next one.
Of course.
When I saw that DVD, I thought Atsuko and Paruru were very similar.
They are very similar.
For example, Atsuko and Paruru did the same song on the first day.
After that, they were MCs.
Atsuko said to Paruru,
You're not good at MCs.
I'm not saying this, but you're not good at MCs.
At that moment, I was watching the Dome.
I thought,
Don't say that.
There was a girl who looked so much like Atsuko and Paruru.
For example, on the third day, Atsuko and Paruru did a song called Nagisa no Cherry.
Atsuko and Paruru were a little involved.
Atsuko said,
Let's do our best.
I could only see Atsuko and Paruru saying,
You can do your best in the next center.
And that was before the game of rock-paper- scissors.
After that, I thought Paruru would win the game of rock-paper-scissors.
If you look back at that, it makes a lot of sense.
Mr. Kobayashi, is it okay for Paruru to do that?
First of all, Oshima Yuko has become the next center.
I think the climax of Oshima Yuko is that Atsuko and Paruru graduate and leave Yume no Kawa on a white boat.
It's a big climax.
But after that, Atsuko and Paruru sing the song of Yume no Kawa together.
It's really lonely.
But I think that loneliness was good.
That's why they graduate in August.
I thought it was amazing.
I took a picture of the cherry blossom petals until the last day.
I saw it on the spot.
The petals were in full bloom.
It's the graduation of the summer.
After that, there was a girl who transferred during the summer vacation.
Before I knew it, she was in the air.
The wind blew through the gap between blue and white in Gingham Check.
I can't rely on Oshima Yuko.
That's because it's not Oshima Yuko.
It's just a different Oshimen.
Originally, I hated the center.
I cried.
I have a lot of solo parts.
I'm the only one who stands out.
She said she cried.
She cried.
Why did she cry so much?
That's the point.
Originally, she wasn't talented or special.
Rather, she was shy.
After she was appointed, she made this legend for several years.
This is AKB.
Originally, she didn't have a lonely spirit.
She wasn't suitable for an entertainer.
She didn't have a sense of belonging.
AKB's role is to make people.
It has a traditional Japanese sense of humanity.
It's not that you can do it because you're talented.
If you're the center, you give the center a place.
If you're the captain, you give the captain a role.
That's where humans change.
It's not about getting into the role, it's about changing the sense of it.
If you think 1 plus 1 is 2, it's 3.
It's Takamira.
She doesn't say her own opinion.
It's like following in the footsteps of others.
Originally, she was a leader.
When I saw the three-day performance of the dome,
I thought that AKB was made by Akira and Yuko.
In a sense, that's right.
But I can see that it was actually made by Akira and Takamira.
What I want you to see on the last day of the three-day video is
the white dress at the end.
She walks from the dome to the center.
She's seen off by everyone on a white boat.
That's the last moment.
What do I remember when I see that?
I remember Misora Hibari's Tokyo performance.
It was in 1988.
Akiyama and Yasushi Akimoto sang the last song,
like the flow of a river.
It's a river of dreams.
In other words, they walked the same path.
Misora Hibari wore a bright red dress and walked the same path.
That was the last performance.
In other words, Atsuko Maeda surpassed Misora Hibari.
It's a little weird, but she surpassed Misora Hibari.
Why did she sing with everyone again later?
I'll tell you why.
I think Momoe Yamaguchi was there after Misora Hibari.
Misora Hibari got married, but they broke up.
She put her whole life on the line.
After that, she died.
What happened to Momoe Yamaguchi?
She quit the entertainment industry.
She became a housewife.
What about Atsuko Maeda?
She quit the entertainment industry, but she became an actress.
That's why she surpassed Misora Hibari.
She didn't have to die, and she didn't have to quit the entertainment industry.
She didn't break up like Candies.
But she made a legend.
She surpassed Misora Hibari.
A river is a very important motif for Akiyama.
A river.
Atsuko Maeda wasn't just made by Yasushi Akimoto.
She surpassed everyone who made Misora Hibari.
That's not true.
Atsuko Maeda wasn't made by Yasushi Akimoto.
She was made by Yasushi Akimoto.
And the fans were moved by her.
The fans were moved by her.
That's how she was born.
It's the first time I've ever seen Uno-san so easy to understand.
That's true.
Atsuko Maeda was an ordinary girl.
She was born in Ichikawa, Chiba.
She was an ordinary girl who had her charisma for 7 years.
In the DVD, the scene when she crosses the river of dreams,
we all wave our sirens like this.
The fans pushed her to cross the river of dreams.
It's a river, but it's different from the three rivers.
Like the flow of the river of Misora Hibari,
her life was a river.
It's a dark and deep river.
It's a song that says, you're all going to die and cross it.
The meaning has been reversed.
I think it's interesting.
It's the Showa era.
What was the Showa era?
One is Hibari Misora.
A special star is born after the war.
At the same time, Yasushi Akimoto made a club like the flow of a river.
It's an idol who takes off the sailor clothes of the club.
In other words, all the girls after school can become a star.
Everyone is average.
On the other hand, Hibari Misora's special talent burns out at the end.
This is the Showa era.
So what did Yasushi Akimoto do?
He made Onyanko surpass Hibari Misora.
Originally,
Onyanko?
No, Onyanko can't be surpassed.
It's a girl like Onyanko.
Maeda Atsuko was born in the 1980s.
At the end, there is a Tokyo Dome like Hibari Misora.
Hibari Misora can't be surpassed.
AKB48 doesn't have a sense of secrecy.
Koji Haru surpassed Yume no Kawa.
I wonder if Atsuko will come to the party today.
This is a big failure.
It's a big failure.
Wait a minute.
Before that, I have to capture the essence of Atsuko.
I have to recapture it.
I didn't want Atsuko.
I wanted Oshima Yuko.
Everyone said that they wanted to teach the people around them.
But Atsuko graduated from Saitama Super Arena.
At that moment, I was very shocked.
It's a sense of loss.
I wasn't aware of it until now.
I thought, why is Atsuko the center?
When I was told that I was graduating at that time,
I felt a tremendous sense of loss.
I was shocked. I thought, what's going to happen?
Did you feel the same way?
Yes, I did.
I was shocked, too.
Everyone around me was shocked.
It was like the end of the world.
It was in the newspaper.
That's right.
Atsuko said she was going to quit.
I think we had a special time until the last day of August 26th.
It was 1830 meters.
For 7 years.
From Akihabara to Tokyo Dome.
We had a special meaning for that concert.
We walked 1830 meters for 7 years.
Maeda Atsuko was the oldest person there.
She was the first person to graduate.
The Tokyo Dome concert was even more amazing.
I have a question.
Why did AKB vote?
That's discrimination.
That's the result of the demands of the fans.
Maeda Atsuko was the center.
Yuko Otaka, like Kobayashi-san,
Kojiharu Otaka, Tomochin Otaka,
Why is Atsuko the center?
The fans told her not to decide on her own.
So she voted.
Voting is good.
It's a rock-paper-scissors game.
The result of the election was that
Atsuko was the only one who could be on TV.
So she decided to be the center.
Akihabara Atsuko didn't want to be the center.
That's right.
But why did she vote?
Because it's fun.
But that's discrimination.
The fans shouldn't discriminate the idols.
But she did it in her heart.
She risked it.
She was ready to do it.
That's why it's fun.
But what if all the idols voted for her?
It's fun.
It's fun to judge.
But is AKB okay?
It's okay.
It's AKB.
Without that tension, no one can be serious.
That's not the reality.
It's a rock-paper-scissors game.
Paruru is the center.
But in the first game,
Mayumi Uchida was the center.
She had never been on TV before.
So she was the center.
But it was fun.
It's fun to be the center.
People don't think it's fun if you don't risk it.
Rock-paper-scissors is the biggest risk.
If the unpopular members are the center, sales will drop.
We're worried about that.
The fans are becoming producers.
I went to the rock-paper-scissors game.
If I can't choose her,
I feel like I can't sell CDs.
I feel like I'm a producer.
I'm worried about AKB.
I feel like I'm a producer.
The fans.
If the unpopular members are the center, sales will drop.
It's fun to be serious.
We shake hands on the next day.
Rock-paper-scissors.
I think Yasushi Akimoto is a bad guy.
He's bad.
I don't think he's bad.
Yasushi Akimoto or Yoshinori Kobayashi.
I don't think he's a bad guy.
If the unpopular members are the center,
fans will wonder if there is a way to sell.
Yasushi Akimoto will make the fans' expectations even higher.
He's not just a customer.
He's a participant.
I thought so.
I went to the Akiba theater.
There were 250 people.
Of course, everyone knew the lyrics.
They sang in a voice that couldn't be heard.
It was amazing.
Usually, the stage is hot.
But the theater was hot.
That's amazing.
AKB's theater is not just a stage.
The audience is also in the theater.
When I saw it for the first time,
all 50,000 people were in the theater.
It was amazing.
I heard the audience's voices.
I heard it at the rock-paper-scissors tournament.
It's hard to hear the audience's voices.
That's not true.
He's amazing.
He's been doing it for a long time.
Did you hear the voice of Kobayashi?
I can't hear his voice.
He's singing in secret.
I can't hear his voice in my heart.
Of course, I feel like I'm participating.
But I'm not looking at it as a commentator.
Especially when I saw Atsushi.
Did you hear his voice at the end?
Yes, I did.
I came to the gondola in front of me.
I happened to be in the second row.
I heard Atsushi's voice at a distance.
I screamed, Atsushi!
I saw it on the scene.
I saw it on the DVD.
I thought it was a very difficult treasure.
I saw Atsushi's tears falling at a close distance.
It's amazing.
I saw it on the Tokyo Dome.
I saw it on the DVD.
It's different.
I had a good feeling about it.
Normally, I wouldn't think it was a video.
But when I saw it on the DVD,
I could see Atsushi's tears and sweat in detail.
I could see it up close.
I could see Atsushi's tears and sweat in detail.
I cried when I saw it on the DVD.
I think this is the best video of the year.
Did you see it?
I saw it.
I went to the concert on the first day and the third day.
It was very difficult.
At the beginning of the third day,
Atsushi sang the song, Sakura no Hanabira, alone.
The girls in the AKB were crying.
I could see it in the video.
They gathered in front of the monitor and listened to it.
They started crying.
The fans were watching the concert.
The members were watching the concert.
It doesn't change.
The members were watching the concert.
AKB members were watching the concert.
It's not a making film.
It's a stage.
It's a video that shows that they had the same experience as us.
It's a special place called Maeda Arts Co., Ltd.
Don't you get jealous of AKB members?
It's a good story.
At the beginning of the third day,
Atsushi sang the song, Sakura no Hanabira, alone.
I was very sad and jealous.
But Atsushi's face was shown a lot on the Internet.
Why is Atsushi so cute?
Did you fight a lot on the Internet?
He was the best.
There's a new book called Non-Punishment Idol.
It's a book about AKB members.
It says that AKB members are destined to fight from the beginning.
So they don't fight because they're not on good terms.
The system that forces AKB members to fight from the beginning
makes them get along well.
I thought this video was a war movie.
War movie?
The war movie where the members fight,
and everyone sends them out.
I remembered Private Ryan.
But as Kobayashi said,
Maeda Arts Co. is gone.
I don't know if it's a war or a celebration.
Everyone sends Atsushi out from the rehearsal.
I think it's the climax of a war movie.
Because he's a voice actor.
I watched it twice.
Maeda Arts Co. comes out and sings.
Since it's a graduation event,
he sends Atsushi out with his song.
Takaminaga comes out from behind.
He sings in a voice that is no match for Maeda Arts Co.
It's a showdown.
Maeda Arts Co. is in the center.
It's an event for Maeda Arts Co.
But Takaminaga beats Maeda Arts Co.
It's a serious showdown.
Takamina is...
That's an interesting point.
Usually, Takamina and Atsushi share most of their memories.
But Atsushi's voice is much louder than Takamina.
It's hard to control the volume.
It's not in harmony.
Takamina overpowers Atsushi.
Takamina releases his solo after that.
That's the story.
I'm glad Atsushi lost on the second day.
Takamina has to lead AKB after Atsushi's gone.
Takamina is the general director of the 48 Club.
Takamina has to lead the group as a member.
Takamina leaves Atsushi to make his dream come true.
Takamina has to carry everyone's dreams.
Mr. Akimoto said Takamina should be a member of the political party.
That's right.
Takamina is the most charismatic member in Japan.
Takamina is the only one who can lead Japan in the future.
There's no problem with Yoshihiko Noda.
There's no problem.
There's no one else as charismatic as Takamina.
On the first day of the press conference,
when Mr. Togasaki announced that he would be the director,
not only the members of the 48 Club,
but also the audience were crying.
Takamina was the only one who didn't panic.
Is there anyone in Japan who can calm down 50,000 people in their 20s?
There's no one.
Atsushi's normal girl has grown up in a unique system called AKB for 7 years.
She has become a strange and miraculous existence like a youkai.
I think Takamina was also a normal girl.
Takamina and Atsuko Maeda,
I saw their first live performance on December 7, 2005.
Do you remember?
They were very normal.
They were like children.
After 7 years, it's time to be moved by their live performance.
They achieved the distance of 1,830 meters.
Atsuko Maeda and Minami Takahashi,
from the age of 14 to 21,
they devoted all their time to AKB since they became adults.
Atsuko Maeda and Takamina said the same thing.
Takamina said to me,
We joined AKB at the age of 14.
So it was good.
We were not ready to be boyfriends yet.
Before we could be boyfriends, AKB was terrible.
We took all the time.
All the youth was AKB.
All the youth.
So there were no boyfriends.
Once there was a girl named Momoe Yamaguchi.
She said, I will give you the most important thing of a girl.
Moreover, Momoe Yamaguchi made her debut at the age of 14 and retired at the age of 21.
They were together for 7 years.
Momoe Yamaguchi was not with them.
Atsuko Maeda was with them at the age of Heisei.
So those 3 days were the last gathering of the 7 years.
They devoted all their time to AKB.
In a sense,
They took all the love from those girls.
It's amazing.
Takara-san,
That's why everyone is impressed.
There is something more than love in the world.
They showed us that.
Are you serious now?
I'm serious.
AKB is more fun than love.
You are not married.
I'm married.
I'm not married.
There are many people like me.
But I think,
Human happiness,
Candies broke up because they wanted to go back to normal girls.
Momoe Yamaguchi said,
I will be happy.
But,
Her happiness is more important than being an idol.
What did Atsuko Maeda say?
Even if you hate me,
Don't hate AKB.
She said something like Nagashima.
It's not me.
At the end, she said,
I was deeply moved.
Atsuko Maeda published a photo book.
She said,
I hate myself, but I love my life.
She said she loves her life.
It's difficult.
I think,
Atsuko Maeda is the essence of AKB.
I think so, too.
I hate myself, but I love my life.
I like myself, too.
I don't know what she said.
Atsuko Maeda...
I'm free, so Atsuko Maeda...
Atsuko Maeda is like a public figure.
She has something important on her outside.
If she's not a public figure,
she can't stand in the center.
She can't stand in the center.
If she was a public figure, she wouldn't be criticized.
She has a good personality.
But Atsuko Maeda...
She can't stand in front of people.
She was criticized on the Internet.
She was the most criticized girl in the past 7 years.
I think so.
She was criticized on TV channels and Twitter.
She was criticized as a strange politician.
What will happen to AKB without Atsuko Maeda?
It's a big deal.
The interesting thing about DOME COIN is
that the next Atsuko Maeda can find someone.
Who is the next Atsuko Maeda?
That's right.
What will happen to AKB without Atsuko Maeda?
It's a big deal.
If she can't overcome it,
there's no point in her career.
If she graduates from a charismatic center,
she'll be the same as other idols.
If AKB doesn't continue,
she can't be called AKB.
Will Yuuko Oshima be the next Atsuko Maeda?
I don't think so.
Yuuko is...
It's her first time to shine because of Atsuko Maeda.
Yuuko Oshima is a strange woman.
She's a very Japanese woman.
She can't be with Atsuko Maeda.
She has to be with Yuuko Oshima.
Yuuko Oshima is not enough.
Akimoto-san started to influence AKB48.
That's not good.
She has to be more influential.
She has to be more young.
Yuuko Oshima is very interesting.
It was announced after the first day.
No one expected Yuuko Oshima to be the captain.
Akimoto Sayaka was the captain.
Yuuko Oshima is the ace.
Yuuko Oshima is the captain.
I thought it would be okay.
But Yuuko Oshima said,
I'll do what I want to do.
Yuuko Oshima is very cool.
Yuuko Oshima was very popular in Tokyo.
She was very popular.
She was very determined.
She was like a country girl.
She was so excited that she won.
She was very determined.
Who will be the next?
I think Paruru.
Paruru is the only one.
I know that Paruru is the next.
She has to be more young.
I think Takamina is the next.
I think Yuuko Oshima is the only one.
I think Takamina is the next.
You should look at Google+.
Did you have a good impression of Yuuko Oshima in the DVD?
She was cute in the DVD.
I think Mariko is the next.
I didn't think she was so beautiful.
I thought Mariko was the next.
But she is like Minami Takahashi.
I don't think anyone can be the next.
I think everyone is waiting for A-chan to come back.
A-chan was not alone in the DVD.
Takamina and Yuuko were always together.
I don't think it's good to talk about the next A-chan alone.
I think it's good to think about the next A-chan alone.
Also, Takamina and A-chan were the starting members.
What is the difference between starting members and secondary members?
It's totally different.
He's a 2nd generation, so he's very consistent with the 1st generation.
A lot of AKB fans say that 2nd generation fans are like half-dead fans.
Half-dead fans.
They're like, we won't lose to 1st generation fans.
1st generation is a giant.
So what's important is that Mariko-sama is a 1.5th generation.
Ah, 1.5th generation.
From the cafe.
But even this time, he's lined up with the 6 first- generation fans.
So in that sense, it's been 7 years.
So there are only 6 people now.
7 years have passed.
And everyone has ceased to exist.
Why is Mariko-sama the reason for Atsushi's meeting?
Ah, that's true.
That's a matter of character and age.
He's the same age as you.
But everyone...
The 1st and 2nd generation, the old Team A and Team K,
what they're doing is SKE.
Right now, SKE is a giant, an AKB, and a half-dead fan.
Well, it's Nagoya.
SKE is very active.
So for me, from the center members of AKB,
until the next Atsushi, the next Takamina, the next Yuko,
I think it's fine to have a period where SKE is leading.
How about Jakarta?
Jakarta?
Jakarta came out this time, and it was really good.
It was really good.
I was looking forward to it.
What I think about Jakarta is...
What was it?
Aki-chan?
Yes, Aki-chan.
She...
You know her, right?
When she announced that she was going to JKT,
you can see her face in the video.
That face!
I'll never forget that face.
I'll never forget the first impression of this DVD.
The first impression is scary.
I want to see it.
Nagamori-san,
Normally, people don't want to go to Jakarta from Tokyo.
Why is that?
But she...
That's a history.
She was chosen as a member of the general election.
She was already in the middle of the announcement.
We know her face when she was chosen.
Her face at that time.
After that, she had a conflict.
She said, I can't go on like this.
AKB is a little bit...
The team is getting used to it.
The moment I thought I was going to enter the stable period,
I was in a hurry.
I did something completely new.
I put in a new event like rock-paper-scissors.
It's a series of surprises.
AKB is interesting.
AKB betrays the schedule.
They destroy what they have built up.
To be clear,
The entertainment world is now centered on AKB.
That's right.
If you're in a good mood, you're going to fall ahead.
No, it's not like that.
Do your best.
Until now, the entertainment world was in a state.
AKB is a Bakufu.
It's like a Kamakura Bakufu.
It's a Bakufu.
Do you know what I mean?
AKB didn't appear much on mass media at first.
In the meantime,
Usually, such a group gets close to TV.
It doesn't get close.
TV is close.
TV is the royal court.
Mr. Akimoto is in Kamakura, which is called Akihabara.
Before the royal court people noticed,
He gathered a Buddhist group in Tokyo and opened a Bakufu.
TV is the royal court.
And he built a great power in a place called Tokyo that can't be seen from Kyoto.
He built a great power.
And with that power, he's leading the royal court.
You said earlier that AKB is the center of the entertainment world.
That's an old way of thinking for me.
Because AKB is no longer a single group.
They each belong to various agencies.
They're not the center of the entertainment world.
They've taken over the entire entertainment world.
They're not the center, they're the perpetrators.
They've changed their shape before we knew it.
They're not the center, they've taken over the entertainment world.
It's a Bakufu again.
Bakufu is still Bakufu.
There are Shugo and Jido all over the country.
It doesn't matter who's in charge.
It's Bakufu.
It always becomes a medium.
There's an atmosphere of anticipation of when it will stop.
If you look at the internet.
That's possible.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who think that if it goes this far, it will fall somewhere.
But there's a theater.
You don't have to go that far.
And that theater was built in the countryside.
It was built all over the world.
You can do it in China, you can do it in Taiwan.
For example, there are professional baseball teams and J-league teams all over the country.
You don't have any doubts about it.
That's how it's going to be.
In the big cities of the big cities, there are AKB48 theaters.
A natural world is going to be born.
It's a completely new genre.
It's a genre that's different from the entertainment world that was made on TV.
That's what changed the entertainment industry as a whole before we knew it.
For example, in the past, we only did titan matches.
So not all professional baseball fans were titan fans.
How about now?
Rather, the Paris League's Hokkaido Nihon Ham.
So-called Fukuoka SoftBank.
It's popular in the countryside.
And Darvish.
Famous players.
No one knows the titan players.
The media has changed before we knew it.
It's changed.
It's the same with Kabuki.
You watch it on Kabuki.
It's not like it's on TV.
TV is a story that makes you want to use Kabuki actors for drama.
You can think of it the same way as Kabuki.
It's back to the theater culture of the past.
For me, AKB is not professional baseball.
It's high school baseball.
High school baseball is a kind of head-sliding.
How about here?
That's exactly what AKB is.
In this video, it's always high school baseball.
But it's too obvious.
How should I put it?
AKB is a club, right?
Yes, it is.
In that sense, what's interesting about the video is that
Takamina looks like a senior who is very popular in the club.
He has a lot of political leadership.
But he's like,
If there was a senior with such a voice, I would listen to him.
What's interesting about the club is that
not everyone wants to be a professional baseball player,
but not everyone wants to be a professional soccer player.
Most people go to school or get a job.
But they do their best in the club.
They cry and get hurt there.
That's what AKB is.
Everyone has a different dream of becoming a singer, a model, or a lawyer.
But it's not a calculated thing to use it as a tool for that dream.
If you're in that unique system, you'll give it your all.
That's what I like about AKB.
The most important thing in this Tokyo Dome is that
Team 4 will be disbanded.
What does that mean?
I don't think you know Team 4.
This yellow T-shirt is Team 4's color.
This is Team 4's Tokyo Dome T-shirt.
If you think about the next generation, Team 4 will be disbanded
and all the members will join Team A, B, and C.
AKB.
They'll all join AKB.
That's what I think.
I think Team 4's members will definitely come out.
They should come out.
What we have to see this time is that
they're not very popular yet.
I don't think a lot of people know this,
but there are still a lot of people who will be the next center.
It's good to see it on video.
I saw Miurin in the video.
This is Miurin.
The point is, in the second day's video,
Team 4 will sing a song called My Sun,
and everyone is crying.
Why? Because Team 4 will be disbanded.
This might be the last time.
They're crying so hard.
I want everyone to see that.
The most noticeable thing about this Tokyo Dome is
Team 4's members.
And this Tokyo Dome...
They're trying to make us worry.
That's right.
Do you think there's any power in expressing that people won't get hurt?
I don't think so.
That's right.
Powerful manga and powerful novels hurt people.
Takara, Kobayashi, and AKB are similar.
It's a denial of post-war democracy.
Don't get hurt, don't get hurt.
Don't put it in order.
What were you doing?
You can't hurt a girl.
There are a lot of things we've lost because of that.
But we can't go to war from now on.
That's why we're AKB.
I think there are a lot of young people who want to go to war.
I don't think so.
I hate that kind of thing.
That's right.
It's no good.
It's not good at all.
It's like a net.
I'm just saying it, but it's all going to run away.
I'm just saying it, but it's cold.
They're lying to Kobayashi.
No, no, no.
Young people now are saying that.
It's like a net.
It's a denial of post-war democracy.
It's just a little written on the Internet.
That's why I'm just thinking that I'm a little tall and cool.
That's right.
That's why we're at the scene together.
I'm crying and hurting with the members.
There's this overwhelming difference.
He's a joke, but we're serious.
Cry, have fun, cry.
What do you do then?
We fight together.
What are you fighting for?
It's a game called AKB.
It's a game called River.
It's a game called Dream Face.
We're all pushing A-chan's back.
But A-chan's gone.
It doesn't matter if it's the next A-chan or Takamina.
Everyone has a favorite member.
Even if you're bound by the concept of A-chan, you might not be able to win the next one.
As Kobayashi said, Team 4 was the future of AKB.
That's what everyone thought.
But the great thing about Yasuji Akimoto is that he loses his future.
He hurts the members.
He says, you guys are going to lose your future.
In the first meeting, he said that AKB members must continue to destroy.
I thought Japan was the same.
No one destroys Japan.
That's why AKB is so popular.
We have to think like that.
We have to destroy Japan.
Even if there was a disaster in Japan, the system was not destroyed at all.
But AKB has changed many times.
It's changed more than we wanted.
Even if you're a politician, you should go to the theater.
The biggest flaw of the current politicians is that they don't do anything.
That's right.
The words have become the words of politicians, not the words of humans.
It's not the words of humans, it's the words of politicians.
If you talk about politics, it's going to get worse.
It's going to be crazy.
It's the same as before the war.
After all, AKB will end with a great success.
No, it won't end.
I want to go there.
No, it won't end at all.
If you look at this DVD, A-chan is also very cute.
A-chan is gone.
There are many cuter people than A-chan.
I think it's going to be the center.
I think it's okay to end.
It's okay to end.
That's why I'm nervous.
For the time being, this video...
I don't know if I'm nervous.
At least I think the first episode is over.
That's right.
If we leave it as it is, the popularity may go down.
That's why we have to push hard.
I think it's amazing to see the three-day DVD.
I don't want to end it.
I don't want to end it at all.
No matter how much we like Ichiro and Matsui, we can't shake hands with them.
But if we don't vote and shake hands, the popularity of the members we support will go down.
It's directly related.
It's not related to Ichiro.
It's not related at all.
It's about who to put it in.
The number of people is increasing.
I don't want it to end with me.
But it may end.
This is interesting.
Because this is a current trend.
If we don't do our best, if we don't support each other, it will end.
It's not like that.
Everyone, did you notice anything different on the first, second, and third days of the Dome?
It's not overlapping, but it's different.
How was it different?
From a maniacal point of view, we have prepared various devices.
For example, there was a tube in the middle and it was shining.
That day's device was improved day by day.
The first day's device took a long time to make.
I thought it would take about 10 minutes.
But when the members came out, I was surprised.
The showcase at the beginning was a bit unusual.
It was very high.
Everyone was not concentrating in the making.
It was a very dangerous stage.
Everyone was scolded for not doing it properly.
There was a girl in the girl tower.
Didn't almost everyone gather there?
In a sense, some fans say it's unpleasant.
What do you mean?
It's like a doll that destroys everything.
Sometimes AKB does something like that.
The top of the human tower is the biggest.
There is a feeling of being cut off.
That's what's interesting about AKB.
AKB members don't hide their cruelty.
I think it's interesting that those who can clearly see the feeling of being cut off show their individuality when they sing.
Those who know the members of KAI definitely know where they are.
I also checked it this time.
I watched it while returning the video.
AKB members don't hide their cruelty.
They don't hide it at all.
Because they don't hide it, they try to have a very warm communication with the members and fans.
They don't hide their cruelty.
They do it openly and say that their efforts will be rewarded.
I want to ask you a question.
Why do you think you can do it well by showing your individuality, competition, etc.?
It's because we're exposed.
We try to cover it with our feelings and friendship with the members.
We don't hide our cruel reality.
That's why we're trying to give it to the fans.
I think it's because it's the exact opposite of the values of the post-war Japan.
It's cruel.
Everyone is cruel, but they don't stop at the sports festival.
Everyone has their own individuality.
They say that they are the only flower in the world.
But in fact, they don't have a job or anything.
However, AKB shows their individuality in the showcase.
I think it's the exact opposite of the values of the post-war Japan.
It's the opposite of the values of the post-war Japan.
In the post-war Japan, the values of the post-war Japan are kind and there is no competition.
The values of the post-war Japan are competition.
AKB shows the values of the post-war Japan openly.
They don't have such a cruel reality.
That's why they show their kindness and support at the end.
Everyone shares the history of the venue where AKB and Takaminaga hugged.
And the time they hugged each other was long.
The second day was longer.
They hugged each other and talked while crying.
They don't have such a cruel reality.
It's the real tears.
We want to see the real tears.
It doesn't matter what happens.
No matter what happens, everything can be included in the drama.
That's important.
Usually, it's better not to happen anything other than the production.
But AKB is grateful that things other than the production happen more and more.
If you look at the making of this DVD, you can see that there are a lot of cameras.
They always take pictures of the members.
It's a documentary.
It's a documentary, but it's a huge waste.
They don't think about small things.
They make a box garden and throw it in.
It's better to show them as they are.
I haven't seen it yet.
There are 5 songs in 4 songs.
It's called MC.
They talk to each other.
It's a documentary.
It's not a script at all.
It's a private talk.
They talk about private things.
They talk about inside stories.
When I hear that, I feel like I'm friends with members of AKB.
They share the world.
If it's just Dome, it's a relationship between entertainers and fans.
After watching Dome, they go to shake hands and talk to each other.
You can get to know each other.
You can be a member of a small group, club, or family.
It's a famous story.
AKB's single songs have a lot of one-man shows called me.
It's a one-man show with fans.
In idol songs, there are a lot of songs that say,
You like me.
I'm a fan, too.
I'm a singer, too.
It's a song that a man can sing.
It's a song with the same perspective as a fan.
I think it's amazing.
Other than fans,
I think it's a song that makes you feel uncomfortable.
It's different.
Why do I think it's different?
Like this time, there's a surprise over there.
When Team 4 is gone,
When A-chan graduates,
It's not just a friend.
It's like asking each person what happened at AKB.
What about you?
It's like a good documentary.
This is not the answer.
What about you?
It's not entertainment in an idol group.
It's all about asking fans what's going on.
AKB can't be objective.
If you're bored, you'll never be able to agree.
You're going to Jakarta.
Takahashi Minami says that effort is always rewarded.
Is that really the case?
It's coming out of the anti-fan.
It's not like that.
Takahashi Minami says,
If you don't work hard, it won't start.
That's what he says.
That's why everyone is impressed.
It's a serious conversation.
It's serious.
The persuasion of words is amazing.
Because you're a fighting person, you have a lot of persuasion.
People lie at the level of words.
The current politicians don't have the power of words.
They don't have it at all.
It's because they don't act.
People lie at the level of words.
They don't have a bond with the fan.
They don't have an aura.
If Takaminaga comes out, he'll have an aura.
They don't have an aura because they don't act.
