Hi, I'm Rina Nabella.
And today, for this episode, I'll be taking you to...
Hi, I'm Rina Nabella.
I'm going to a special place for this episode.
I'll be speaking in two languages today,
so please listen to me in English.
I'll be recording in English and Japanese today,
so if you want to know about the special place I'll be taking you to,
please watch this video!
Akihabara is famous for its many electronic stores,
and you can easily purchase any Japanese electronics here.
Furthermore, Akihabara is also famous for subculture,
and it is a great place to experience the modern Japanese culture.
Today, I brought a genius outfit so you won't notice.
Ta-da!
This is what I look like, but one won't notice. This is me, right?
Now, let's go to that special place!
Okay, so we have arrived here at the AKB48 Theater.
So inside here is where the shows are going on.
I normally perform here at the AKB48 Theater because I am a member of AKB48.
AKB48 is a Japanese idol group with the concept of the idol you can meet.
So you can meet us every day here at the AKB48 Theater.
Okay, so I'll show you around!
There are a lot of photos of the members of AKB48 here.
Look!
It's me!
If you come to the theater, please take a picture with me!
Next I'll show you around the lobby.
This is the place where the audience waits before the show.
These are the lockers where you put your personal belongings during the show.
Oh, look at all these different kinds of posters!
And look at this one.
This one is SAKASAZAKA by Jankenmi.
This is the single that I am in too, so please listen to it!
This is me!
This is the birthday box for the members.
On birthdays, the fans collect message cards.
Oh, this is Macharin's.
I'd like to write a message card for Macharin too!
Okay, so I have written my message card for Macharin.
Oops, upside down.
So AKB48 members also write message cards for other members which are, you know, conducted by the fans.
AKB48 is very unique because we are very close to the people who support us.
Members also come to the lobby to, you know, look around these and then write these cards too.
And then the fans collect them and then the fans give them back to us.
So I love how everyone's making all these different kinds of boxes.
So I'm gonna put this box, this card for Macharin.
So this is the AKB48 theater.
This is where the audience sits.
And this is the stage. Really close, huh?
And another thing I'd like to introduce is the pillars.
Do you see the tapes? There are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
9, 10, 11 of them.
These tapes indicate the history of AKB48.
So each year on the birthday of AKB48, which is the 8th of December, a new piece of tape is stuck on onto this pillar.
So pretty soon on the 8th of December, there's gonna be the 12th piece of tape stuck onto this pillar.
Lastly, I'd like to show you what it looks like from the first row of the audience to show how close we are.
I hope you'll enjoy it!
This is the 2nd row.
The 3rd row is this close.
So, if you want to watch us this up close,
please come to AKB48 theater!
