Hello, everyone. We are AKB48.
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake, which occurred on March 11, 2011.
I would like to dedicate a minute's silence to the members of the 48 group at 2.46 p.m. on the day of the quake.
Since the time of the quake, the 48 group has been actively supporting reconstruction as a project for someone.
I would like to look back on the activities of the past 10 years in front of the wooden tower.
Thank you.
Let's have a seat.
First of all, Minami Minegishi, who has been doing disaster relief activities as a member of AKB48.
How do you feel about looking back on these 10 years?
I've been to a lot of places, seen a lot of scenery, and seen a lot of people's smiles.
At that time, I was really burned in my heart.
My heart is moving, and I have a lot of things to think about, but after all, if I overlap the time, the memory will fade away little by little.
I think it's very frustrating, so I'm very grateful for the opportunity to look back together like today and think about it again.
I would like to spend today with gratitude for the people I have met so far and the people I will meet in the future.
Thank you very much. And Yui Yokoyama, followed by Minegishi, I have been involved in the disaster support activities 17 times in the past, but do you have any impressions?
Yes, I have a lot of impressions, but among them, when I was doing a live performance during the disaster visit activity,
When I performed AKB48's song called Kamihikouki on the 365th day, I was sitting in front of me, and I had eyes with my grandmother, and when I saw my grandmother crying,
I always sing and dance like this, and I deliver the song with the feeling that I want to give you energy, but I really felt the moment when my heart could connect through the lyrics of the song.
At that time, it was close to the first time, so I felt that we could convey some message through the song, so I felt the power of the song.
I remember that scene too. Do you remember? It was amazing and impressive, but I was very happy to hear that you shed tears and listened to it.
And Nana Okada joined AKB48 in 2012 after the disaster, and has been involved in the disaster support activities 9 times in the past.
Thank you for letting me go 9 times, and I wonder what it is, even if I go to various cities, no matter which city I go to,
Of course, there are adults who accept us and enjoy watching the live, and thank us for coming when we were still in high touch, and of course,
I'm still young, and when I was young, I wrote a letter with a cheering message, or when I was damaged, I wrote my honest feelings in a letter and gave it to me, and it was really warm and I'm glad I went, so I haven't been able to go now, but I hope I can go see you again.
I think I want to go, I definitely want to go, now we are a project for someone, we created a video of about 1 hour to look back on the activities of those 10 years.
I did my best to do what I can do as an idol who can go to love, for someone, for the future.
Please take a look at the pattern until the end of the goal.
2013, AKB48 visited the Tohoku area for the first time on March 11th.
The Great East Japan Earthquake
The sky was still blue that day, and it still is.
On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake struck Japan.
Various activities throughout Japan began to support the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
AKB48 also launched a charity event and fundraising activities.
We decided to visit the affected areas and hold live concerts and events.
To bring back the smiles of children.
AKB48's first visit was in May 2011, two months after the Great East Japan Earthquake.
We were speechless when we saw the city, which took us six hours from Tokyo.
We first visited Otsuchi-cho, Iwate Prefecture, and Yamada-machi.
There were 200 people living in the evacuation center.
I'm going to the evacuation center.
Hello everyone!
We are AKB48!
Hello everyone! We are AKB48!
We are AKB48!
Hello everyone! We are AKB48!
Thank you!
Yes, please!
Thank you!
Big Pierce!!
Thank you!
I'm glad I could come here today.
I was really worried at first, but when I saw everyone's faces, I was relieved.
Everyone welcomed me warmly and said,
I'd like to come again.
I'm glad.
The second visit was to Taro District, Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture.
It was June 11th, three months after the quake.
Thank you!
At 2.46 p.m., a siren sounded in the city.
Thank you very much.
You gave me a pine cone.
It's cute.
Thank you.
It's cute.
Let's hold it and say goodbye.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I'm glad.
I'm sorry, but I'd like to shake hands with everyone as much as possible.
I'd appreciate it if you could help me with a single shake of your hand.
See you again.
Adults have a lot of people's eyes and can't do that.
I was really happy to see a little girl move into action without thinking about anything.
I didn't have that experience, so I got flowers from the bottom of the stage.
I feel very warm.
I'm going to take it home.
I loved it.
It was a great performance.
Thank you.
See you again.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I got a lot of courage.
Thank you very much.
Nakaya!
Thank you very much.
AKB48 decided to visit Tohoku every month,
and they visited Minami-sanriku-cho, Miyagi Prefecture in July.
We are AKB48.
Thank you very much.
We came from Tokyo.
Thank you very much.
They use a stage truck for the live performances,
and they bring in electricity, water, and food by themselves.
They decided to continue their activities by renting a place only at the venue.
At that time, they performed with jeans on their T-shirts, not stage costumes.
They smile back at me on the spot,
so I was able to cheer up.
I hope this will be a little help for everyone.
In Kesennuma City, where they visited for the fifth time, there was still a small boat left.
It came out like this.
It's cool.
It's a picture.
It's cool.
Thank you.
It's cool.
Thank you.
They visited Iwate prefecture Rikuzentakata City for the seventh time.
The tsunami hit the coastline and the beautiful pine forest was destroyed.
Only one big pine tree remained.
It was a miracle.
Among the members who took part in the experiment,
there was a student who had just joined AKB48.
Karen Iwata, from Sendai City.
Her home was damaged in the quake,
and for a while she was living in an evacuation center.

Before I let go of your hand
I'll look for the light in despair
If there is a god somewhere
December 2011
I visited Fukushima Prefecture for the first time
Minamisoma City
It is a 30km gymnasium from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant
Christmas
This day is Christmas
Members also appear in Santa costumes
Merry Christmas
Children sing Christmas carols
I sang a Christmas song with the children
I gave out presents
I had a fun time
At this time, the women in the district were not completed yet
It was a time when children could not play outside
I was happy to have a little smile
In March 2012, we visited Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture for the 11th time.
It is located in the south of Sendai City, where Sendai Airport is located.
Karen Iwata, from Sendai City, went to a dance school in Natori before joining AKB48 to learn singing and dancing.
After the live performance at Kasetsu Jyutaku Square, a woman came to talk to the members.
She was a mother who lost her son in a tsunami.
Tomomi Itano said, let's go.
I'm sorry to bother you.
I love AKB48.
Thank you very much.
It was good.
I'm sorry. We live in such a small place.
What is your son's name?
His name is Kota.
I'm sorry.
Can I take a picture of you?
No, I don't think so.
My son loves AKB48 and we used to sing together.
That's what my mother told me.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
That's what my mother told me.
Thank you very much.
June 9, 2012.
This day was the day after the AKB48 election in Ofuna City, Iwate Prefecture.
Despite the rain, 3,000 people gathered in front of the Kasetsu Shoten Gai.
It's been over a year since the quake.
Up until now, concerts were held in T-shirts and jeans,
but since then, it has become a stage costume.
The 17th visit is to Tanohata Village in Iwate Prefecture.
It takes more than 6 hours from Tokyo by one way.
Tanohata Village, Fudai Village, Noda Village, the three villages' joint live shows are held in the coastal area.
Many people came to the outdoor square.
It was a hot day, but it was a fun stage like a summer festival.
During the winter, they used a gymnasium and a public house.
On this day, they put a stage truck in a large market and used it as a stage.
It is a live show with Christmas costumes, which became a tradition in December.
Hachigahama-machi, Miyagi Prefecture.
Two years have passed since the quake,
but debris and debris of disaster were piled up high on the side of the road.
This kind of scene was seen everywhere in Tohoku.
Today, we are having a birthday party.
Is there anyone who wants to go home today?
Thank you very much.
Two years have passed since the quake.
On March 11, 2013,
AKB48 visited Tohoku for the first time on the day of the quake.
They held live performances in 10 places in Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima at the same time.
It's the second year.
Let's do our best!
Let's do our best to smile a lot!
Let's do our best!
Hello, Iwaki City!
Hello, Kamaishi City!
We are AKB48!
I tell you music, let me in your session
Thank you very much for today.
Thank you very much.
I want to make the children look unbelievable.
I want to make them jump with their shoulders and put their hands together.
It's unbelievable.
Many of those children were washed away by the tsunami.
Their belongings and valuables were washed away by the tsunami.
There are many children who live in temporary housing now.
They suffered from the tsunami.
It's your power.
Please continue.
Thank you very much.
I'm glad to see the stars.
I feel like I'm looking at the stars.
Today, we visited Miyako Station in Sanriku Railway in Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture.
It was planned to go to Miyako for the first time in 90 days.
But due to the quake, it couldn't move.
Miyako City was closed until the 16th.
The station's buildings and tracks were hit by the tsunami.
It's not open to the public yet, but it's been running as a foot of the area.
Railways and roads are essential for the reconstruction.
The Marimpia Matsushima Aquarium in Matsushima Town, Miyagi Prefecture.
It's the second oldest aquarium in Japan.
It was open again after the tsunami.
We visited the aquarium wearing the AKB48 song, Hashire Penguin costume.
Kuji City, Iwate Prefecture.
It's famous for Ama-san, the model of Asadora Ama- chan.
The members also transformed into Ama-chan.
The song, Koi Suru Fortune Cookie, was performed at this day's concert.
It was a month before the single was released.
The children are still dancing awkwardly.
It will become a popular song at the next Hisaichi concert.
Yamada-machi, Iwate prefecture.
This is the first visit to Hisaichi.
The children of this town came up with the idea to make a diorama of Yamada-machi in the future.
It is a diorama made in collaboration with AKB48.
It's bigger than before.
The festival, which had been canceled after the quake, is back, and a live performance on that stage.
The popular person in Yamada-machi is Kaori Matsumura of SKE48.
Matsumura gave her a chance to recover from the quake.
She will be appointed as a tourist ambassador later.
Kesennuma Bay, Miyagi Prefecture.
If you don't take a ferry from Kesennuma Port, you won't be able to get to the mainland.
This bay was badly damaged by the tsunami and the fire at Kesennuma Bay.
This island was also the scene of a friendly operation by the U.S. military.
They eat the cherry tree on the hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
This cherry tree was named the Ten-Year Cherry Tree.
The Ten-Year Cherry Tree.
Hang in there!
On March 11th, 2014, three years after the quake,
more than 40 members visited three prefectures in Tohoku.
Otsu-Otsu!
Hello all members of EF-Shibuya!
Thank you!
I want to tell you
Please listen to my hesitation
I wanted to see you, I wanted to see you, I wanted to see you, yes!
You
You're the only one I can turn to, let me put on a show at the end
The new world is so nice, but I'm not sure if I want to go on
You
Come on, come on, come on, away
You
I love you, I want you, I want you, I want you
It's not like that, don't be shy
The next time you call me, I'll show you my smile
It's not like that, don't be shy
Thank you for your hard work. I'll do my best again.
Thank you.
Oh my god.
AKB is the best!
Thank you.
The 36th visit was held at two locations at Sanriku Railway Station.
And we took a train to go there.
This railroad was also restored from the tsunami.
In the train, we took a video of dancing with the locals with a fortune cookie.
The completed music video is here.
Next video is dance music!
It's not a bad thing, is it?
The 1st floor of Ishinomaki City Hall in Miyagi Prefecture.
There is a cafe run by local high school students as a volunteer activity.
AKB48 also helps.
This?
What else?
Do you want to roll it?
Roll it.
Can I have my mom roll it?
Roll it.
AKB can enter because it's cute.
Do you want to go home?
Go home.
It's cute.
In the Kaisei District of Ishinomaki City,
there was the largest temporary housing complex in Japan at that time.
There are 1,156 units.
It is a temporary housing complex with a population of more than 3,000 people.
When I visited Ishinomaki last time,
I was promised by a fan who lives here that I should come to this temporary housing complex.
It was my first visit,
but a lot of people welcomed me with a smile.
It was more than me delivering a smile,
but everyone's smile made me smile.
It was really fun.
I wanted to come here again.
In the 43rd episode, I visited Yamamoto-cho, Miyagi Prefecture.
It was one of the cities that suffered great damage from the tsunami,
and the roads were cut off.
A part of the Joban Motorway has been opened, and an interchange has been completed at the foot of the mountain.
From the next day, the high-speed road, where cars run, was celebrated with the local children.
Goal! Goal! Goal!
In the affected cities, disaster FM was broadcast in various places, and it became an important source of information for the local people.
This is AKB48.
It was really fun.
At the same time as the joy of being opened, we also had a valuable experience of walking on the high-speed road.
I heard it was 2km, but I didn't expect it to be 4km.
It was so much fun to walk with the children that I forgot about it.
After appearing on the radio, I visited a local kindergarten.
Let's sing and dance together!
Today's fine weather!
Red flowers are blooming!
After the live performance, the children gave songs to AKB's salons
to prove how hard they practiced for the performances.
Everyone together we are Otoma!
The 46th visit was to Shichigahama, Miyagi Prefecture.
The first performer of the day was Akari Sato from Sendai City, Team A.
She decided to audition for AKB48 when she was a junior high school student.
I used to live in an evacuation center when I was a junior high school student.
I was so happy when AKB48 members came to visit me.
I was able to forget the hard times when I saw their sparkling stage.
Today, I'm here as a member of AKB48.
I'll do my best to give you a lot of energy.
She became an idol who stands on the stage and entertains people.
On March 11, 2015, 48 members visited 6 places in Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima.
Nice to meet you. How long have you been doing this?
I've been doing this for a long time.
Thank you very much.
How should I call you?
I'm Koton.
Next time at the Institute of Genetic Technology
Let's do it again.
Do it like this.
Don't step on me.
I thought the direction was different.
《BAKU》
BAKU, do you have favorite member?
Yes.
Who?
AKARI!
Thank you!
You did it!
I'm so happy!
《BAKU》
Thank you very much.
I've been a fan for a long time, so I'm glad to meet you.
Take care.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
You've given me a lot of strength, so I'm looking up at you more and more.
Thank you very much.
Episode 48
I visited Futaba Mirai Gakuen High School, which was built after the school building in Hironomachi, Fukushima Prefecture.
The person who designed the uniform of this new school is Ms. Shinobu Kayano, who designs the costumes for AKB48.
In the end, the students decided to put green in Futaba-kun's uniform to match the cityscape.
It's a great person.
I'm going to make a great person wear a uniform.
The men's uniform is also very cute.
I think that the current first-generation students are going to make the future of the school, so I am very happy that I was able to help them.
J.R. Ishinomaki Line, which connects Miyagi Prefecture Ishinomaki Prefecture and Onagawa Prefecture,
The front line has become normal due to the quake.
It will be completely restored in March 2015, four years later.
In order to celebrate it, a live performance was held in front of Onagawa Station in Shinjuku.
Hello, everyone in Onagawa Town!
We are LKB48!
Yeah!
The tsunami-struck station moved inland, and the 7-meter high ground made it a strong structure for the disaster.
The 52nd visit was the 3rd visit to Kesennuma Oshima in Miyagi Prefecture.
The 10-year-old cherry blossoms planted at that time were growing well.
I planted seeds.
Great!
So many people came.
I'm glad.
The tsunami-struck station moved inland, and the 7-meter high ground made it a strong structure for the disaster.
And the girl I met at the ferry when I visited Japan for the first time grew up and came to see the concert again.
This is Saki-chan.
This is me.
This is Saki-chan.
Look, look.
This is Saki-chan.
This is amazing, Saki-chan.
Yes, this is Saki-chan.
There is a miracle elementary school in Yamamoto- cho, Miyagi Prefecture.
This is Nakahama Elementary School, which is located near the Pacific Ocean.
On that day, a tsunami was pushing this school to the second floor of the school building.
At that time, more than 90 people, including children, teachers, and people in the district, were evacuated to the school.
When the tsunami struck, everyone evacuated to the rooftop and was saved.
This is the attic, not the rooftop.
I went up to the second floor from the main entrance.
As usual, when I came in from the outside, everyone changed their shoes.
That kind of habit hasn't gone away.
But now it's time to hurry up.
Some people hurried up and came up barefoot.
That's how desperate they were.
This Nakahama Elementary School has been preserved as after the quake to convey the horror of the tsunami.
It is also open to the public.
In March of 2016, five years after the quake, a large- scale concert was held to invite the children and families of the affected areas.
In the lobby of the Iwate Prefectural People's Museum, an exhibition of the dioramas of Yamada Town was also held.
We, the AKB48 group, thought that there was nothing we could do, so we visited Tohoku every month and continued our live activities.
I hope that everyone will be encouraged by the opportunity for further reconstruction.
We look forward to seeing you at the live performance.
There's nothing I can grab with my hands, so I'm running
Even if I try to spread my fingers wide, something spills out
Don't look at me like that, I'm not like that
There is a miraculous elementary school in Ofuna City, Iwate Prefecture.
Okirai Elementary School.
Hello!
One, two...
We are AKB48!
The school was attacked by a tsunami that reached up to the 3rd floor of the school building.
Although the school was fully open, everyone was able to escape to the hillside.
Five years after the quake, the school was moved to the hillside and completed.
After the concert, the children sang the national anthem for the school.
In March 2017, six years after the Great East Japan Earthquake,
the children visited three places in Tohoku.
There are still traces of the typhoon from last year.

Thank you.
Smile.
Thank you.
I'll come to Sendai again.
Thank you.
A 7-year-old boy talked to me when I took a picture.
His younger brother is a kindergarten student.
The kindergarten he went to was swept away by the quake.
It's gone.
Now he's going to a different kindergarten.
They are doing their best.
A 7-year-old boy told me.
At the end, he said,
I've been supporting AKB for a long time.
A 7-year-old boy told me that.
I thought that they would do their best for Fukushima and Tohoku.
I'm glad I could perform today.
The 64th visit was to Minamisanriku-cho, Miyagi Prefecture.
This is where they visited for the third time in July 2011.
Sanzan Chotenkai!
The land that was once attacked by the tsunami was razed to the ground, and a new shopping district was built there.
Sanzan Chotenkai in Minamisanriku is a symbol of peace and prosperity.
In May 2018, she visited Sanzan Chotenkai again.
On this day, members who were involved in the disaster relief activities gathered.
Last year, I was supposed to come to Sanzan Chotenkai in Yamada-no-machi,
but I came by car from Saitama.
Every year, I came by car, so I couldn't think about the transportation on the way back, but I'm very happy to be able to come today.
She tries the famous soft cream with tomatoes from Miyagi.
It's like a tomato and ice cream.
It's like a light scoop.
It's delicious.
It's like a tomato.
Sanzan Chotenkai is a symbol of reconstruction.
Next to it is a building that has been left as a disaster shelter so as not to forget the disaster and tsunami.
43 people have died there, and some have not been found yet.
We will discuss whether to leave it or not in the future.
This year, eight years after the quake, I visited Otsuchi-cho, Iwate Prefecture, where I held my first visit-to-visit live performance.
The town, which was buried in a mountain of rubble at that time, was undergoing reconstruction in the past eight years.
Even so, I...
I'll give you my heart
The sand of the future is right in front of you
Let's gather it up quietly
This heart, this heart is so painful, so painful, so painful
Even if I give up, I'll fall in love again
I can't help but touch you
Before the departure of this day, there was an explanation from the staff.
Congratulations on the opening of the front line and the connection of the railway.
I think that the grandfather of Kasai will probably come to see Yumoto.
I think that Yuri-chan will come to see Murayama.
The grandfather of Kasai in Yumoto is a grandfather who lost all his wife, children, and grandchildren,
and the grandfather who had lost the hope of living was in this town alone.
By chance, I think it was the year before yesterday,
I saw Yumoto and the grandfather who had the hope of living.
It's not the birth of a granddaughter, but that's why Yumoto is the hope of life now.
I don't think Yuri-chan has ever been to Murayama,
but there was a man who lost his house in Murayama and was pregnant with a single mother.
When I came to Kisachihon, I saw Murayama and thought,
Oh, this child is good, and my daughter was born, and I named her Yuri.
On this day, the Sanriku Railway Rias line 163km opened the front line.
The reconstruction work, which took 8 years, has finally come to fruition,
and a commemorative live was held at Rikuchu- Yamada Station in Murayama District.
Members, please wait a moment.
AKB48 Group has been supporting all over the country since the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Today, there are children who wrote letters to express their gratitude for their continuous support.
Would you like to listen to them?
Of course!
To the members of the 48 group!
The first time I met the members of the 48 group was on March 11th, 2013, when I arrived in Yamada for the second time.
After that, I always go to see you when you come to Yamada.
Not only do you cheer up the members of Yamada with your songs and dances,
but you also make jokes with us, sing together, and eat delicious food together.
I love everyone who always smiles and treats everyone kindly.
In private, I know that Ami-chan, who is kind even when she comes to Yamada,
does not dare to ride with AKB, but only leaves a message.
Ami-chan, who is good at dancing. I started dancing because I admired everyone in AKB.
Kaotan is the ambassador of Furusato. On the day of the ceremony, I was walking behind Kaotan.
Kaotan said he remembered that, and when he came to Yamada in private,
he said he wanted to meet the girl who followed him.
It was very fun and happy to eat oysters and scallops together at Totto.
There are a lot of people in Yamada who have had very hard times.
Thanks to the 48 group members who have been visiting Yamada for a long time after the disaster,
we are sure to have a lot of encounters and experiences that ordinary people can't have.
I don't know how many times I've said thank you, but thank you for always supporting Yamada.
I want to continue to make a lot of happy memories together.
I look forward to working with Yamadamachi and us who live in Yamadamachi.
Marika Kazuki
Thank you very much.
Marika Kazuki, who read the letter.
She regained her energy by watching Hisaichi Live.
Now, she is learning how to dance.
Marika Kazuki will be a junior high school student this spring.
Yuuri-chan.
Yuuri-chan from Yamada-machi.
We met.
I'm glad to meet you.
Yuuri-chan.
Thank you very much.
Take care.
The Great East Japan Earthquake
Ten years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake, which was a great disaster.
Tohoku has been recovering little by little.
However, there is still a long way to go to fully recover.
AKB48 has visited 76 disaster sites in the past 10 years.
126 members participated.
The total number of participants is 712.
2020 and 2021 were not able to visit Tohoku due to the influence of COVID-19.
However, AKB48 will continue to support the affected areas.
To open the door to the future.
Ms. Yukirin, who participated in the first support activity and was in charge of the narration this time.
How was it to see the video again?
I've been to a lot of places and met a lot of people.
But what I remember the most is when I went to the first time.
It's only been two months since the earthquake, and I don't know what I can do as an AKB member.
I don't know what to do as a person yet.
I was very anxious about whether it was the right thing to do.
I remember going with six members.
But as you can see in the video, the people who came were warm and warm.
I was really encouraged.
We will do our best, so please do your best, AKB members.
It was very impressive that everyone told me to come again.
When I went to the first time, I was glad I could do this activity.
I remember going there and thinking that I should definitely continue.
Thank you very much.
I'm so grateful that this project is still going on thanks to the people in Tohoku who encouraged me and accepted me warmly.
Currently, we are connected remotely with members of the 48 group.
First of all, AKB48 members, please come out.
Yes, a lot of people have come.
From AKB48, 28 people from the theater, 27 people remotely, a total of 55 members have participated.
Now, I would like to hear from Seina Fukuoka on behalf of AKB48.
Se-chan
Yes, I'm Seina Fukuoka.
Se-chan, the other day, as a cheerleader for the Sanriku Railway in Iwate Prefecture, you also participated in a remote meeting of the Sanriku Railway.
You sent a video message and a poster, didn't you?
This time, I did it with Yuri Murayama, Satone Kubo, and Eri Chiba.
At first, I wanted to go see you, but it's difficult now, so I sent it with the thought of wanting to go see you and the Sanriku Railway and the AKB48 group.
If I can go see you again, I would like to ride the Sanriku Railway, and I would like to do an in- car announcement and a stamp rally.
I hope we can do a lot of things together in the future. Thank you.
Next, Maho Omori
Yes, I'm Maho Omori.
In October 2019, you went to Marumori Town, Miyagi Prefecture to support the disaster relief efforts. How was it?
Yes, I went to Marumori Town for the first time.
I was watching the scene on TV news, but when I went there for the first time, I saw it with my own eyes, and I was still in the water.
In addition, mud had entered the house, and I felt a lot of things with my own eyes.
I participated in the announcement, and in that short time, everyone in Marumori Town was happy to be able to eat warm rice, and we were able to get a lot of energy.
I received a lot of warm words, and I was told, thank you for giving me energy, but I was able to get a lot of energy.
There were people who shed tears and thanked me, and I was able to do one very important activity as an AKB member.
Thank you, Maho.
Thank you, AKB48.
Please turn off the monitor.
Next, I would like to talk to the members of SKE48.
27 members from SKE48 are participating.
On behalf of SKE48, I would like to talk to Saito Makiko, Suda Akari, and Ooba.
First of all, Saito Makiko, the captain of SKE48.
It's been 10 years since the quake, how have you been?
10 years ago, I went to the office lesson and felt a big tremor in Nagoya.
I think it was a very big quake.
I've never been to the site of the quake, but I've been invited by SKE48.
I was able to know the current situation of the site, and I was able to see the video that was playing now, but I think that the AKB48 group has visited a lot of sites over the past 10 years, and I don't think it's good because of the corona now, but when I can go again, I decided strongly that we should continue this activity that everyone has made history so far.
Also, when various things happen, I would like to continue to do my best so that I can be of help to everyone as SKE48.
Thank you very much.
Next, how about Akari Suda?
Yes, I'm Akari Suda. I also went to the site for this reconstruction activity, but when I went for the first time, I was very worried that I would be happy to go there.
At first, I was very anxious because I didn't have the image that what I was doing would be of help to someone, but I was able to think through this activity that doing something and thinking about someone is important and that it will be a trigger for my heart to work.
I am very grateful to all the locals who welcomed me warmly, and I am very supportive of the fact that there are moments in everyday life when I wonder what the people I met at that time are doing and how they are living with a smile.
I'm also looking forward to the day I can see you again.
Thank you very much.
Next, how about Mina Oba?
Yes, I'm Mina Oba. I also went to the site several times, and I got a lot of words from the locals, but among them, I was very impressed with the fact that they said thank you for not forgetting.
We will never forget, but when I felt that the people who were affected said such words, I thought that I should never forget how many I will be in the future, and that we may not be able to do much in the future, but I hope we can do our best.
Thank you. It was a wonderful story.
Thank you to all the members of SKE48.
Please turn off the monitor.
Next, I would like to hear from the members of NMB48.
Please.
Yes, NMB48 has a total of 32 members.
Then, I would like to hear from Miru Shiroma and Ayaka Yamamoto on behalf of NMB48.
First of all, how about Mirurun?
Yes, I visited the venue.
At the time of the live, there were a lot of children and parents, and people of all ages came to see us.
The venue was full of smiles and warmth.
When I remember the scenery, even though we are the ones who deliver smiles,
on the contrary, we were encouraged to do our best. I thought it was a wonderful and precious opportunity.
Thank you. Mirurun is about to graduate, so I hope you can go again.
Then, how about Ayaka Yamamoto and Ayan?
Yes, I'm Ayaka Yamamoto of NMB48. I've actually been to the venue several times.
When I went to the venue, I was very grateful for the warm words and the warm welcome.
Among them, when I saw the moment when everyone smiled,
I realized that our activities are for everyone and that it is an opportunity for everyone to be encouraged.
So I thought that I would like to continue this project and this project,
and I realized that it is very important to convey to those who have actually experienced and to us who will receive a lot in the future.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, NMB48.
Please turn off the monitor.
Now, let's talk to the members of AKB48 theater.
Akari Sato from Miyagi prefecture.
Were you in Miyagi when the earthquake happened?
Yes, I was in the 2nd grade of junior high school at that time.
At that time, I didn't have much information, so I was really anxious.
I spent the whole night at school without seeing my family.
After that, I had to live in an evacuation center and I couldn't go back to my normal life.
In the meantime, my beloved AKB48 came to visit me.
When I saw the stage, I felt a lot of fun.
I was able to forget the pain and the feelings that I was hiding.
So I really remember it impressively.
That's right. You wanted to join AKB because of the visit to the disaster area.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Next, how about Yuri Murayama?
The name of this girl is Yuri.
The kanji is different from mine, but it's the same name.
Before she was born, when I went to the disaster area project,
My mother heard my name and thought it sounded good.
She gave me the same name.
I think I'm about five years old now.
I want to go see you again.
I hope Yuri will grow up big.
Next, how about Yumoto Ami?
As you saw in the video,
I met an old man who lost all his family in the tsunami and didn't know how to live.
He told me that the hope I have now is Ami.
I think I met him through this project.
I was very happy.
I felt that I could do something, so I was very happy.
There was also a scene of a letter from a child.
Ami also visited in private.
She left a message without saying her name.
When I went with my family, I couldn't do anything.
I could only buy a lot of souvenirs and bring them home.
I was very happy to hear that.
I think it's very nice.
Finally, how about Oya?
I visited the disaster area for the first time three months after the quake.
I was able to know a lot of things more realistically than I saw on TV.
If I hadn't joined AKB, I wouldn't have been able to do this.
I was glad to be involved in this activity.
At first, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it.
But everyone's smiles made me feel better.
At first, it didn't look like a quake.
But I was able to see everyone's smiles.
I'm glad I was able to do this activity.
Thank you very much.
All the members said what they thought.
It's almost time to go home.
Please turn on the monitor of all 48 groups participating this time.
And all the members in the theater, please stand up.
And everyone watching on YouTube, please join us.
We have about 30 seconds left.
A lot of people are watching on YouTube.
That's right.
More than 10,000 people are watching.
Thank you very much.
The total number of members is 188.
Now, I would like to pray for the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Mokuto
Please stand up. Thank you, everyone.
Now, let's have the members take their seats.
Thank you very much.
Now, except for HKT48 members, please turn off your monitors.
Now, let's talk about the support activities and future activities.
There are 22 members in total in HKT48.
On behalf of HKT48, I would like to hear from Miku Tanaka and Hana Matsuoka.
First of all, Miku, how do you feel?
I actually went to the disaster area, but everyone's smiles are still in my heart.
I would like to continue what we can do now.
Thank you very much.
Hana, how do you feel?
I'm Hana Matsuoka.
I also went to the disaster area.
A lot of people came to see the live show, and I was really impressed by their smiles.
I hope I can continue to convey this to the next generation without forgetting it.
I would like to continue supporting activities.
Thank you very much.
Thank you to everyone at HKT48.
Please turn off all the monitors.
Next, I would like to talk to all the members of NGT48.
Here you go.
There are a total of 20 members from NGT48.
I would like to talk to Hinata Honma on behalf of NGT48.
Hinata, how do you feel?
I'm Hinata Honma from NGT48.
I experienced a big tremor when I was in the 5th grade of elementary school at the time of the quake.
After that, there were some children who transferred to elementary school from the disaster area.
I have come to realize the magnitude of the damage caused by the quake in my class in Niigata prefecture.
Since I joined NGT48, I have been supporting NGT48 as a whole.
I feel very warm when I receive a lot of power from NGT48.
I want to continue to deliver a lot of power to the disaster area.
The members of the sister group are often far away, but by joining NGT48, I can ask for their support and recovery.
Thank you, NGT48.
Please turn off the monitor.
Finally, I would like to talk to the members of STU48.
There are a total of 31 members from STU48.
I would like to talk to Mitsuki Imamura, the captain of STU48.
How about you, Michu?
I'm Mitsuki Imamura from STU48.
I haven't been able to visit the site in person,
but Yumiko Taki from STU48 and Nana Okada, who is in charge, have visited.
As a group, we cooperated in the form of a performance for someone's project.
In the Setouchi area where we, STU48, are based,
there was a West Japan earthquake in 2018.
At that time, we thought about what we could do,
and we did volunteer work ourselves.
When we did a charity concert tour,
the warm words and smiles were very impressive.
Not only in the area where we are based,
but we want to be able to give energy and smiles to many people all over the country.
As a group, we thought about what we could do,
and we would like to continue our activities.
Thank you very much.
I don't know what will happen all over Japan,
but I hope we can continue to support each other for someone's sake.
Thank you, everyone from STU48.
Finally, I would like to sing a song to support the recovery from the earthquake.
Please turn on your monitors.
Let's sing together.
Everyone seems to be ready, so please listen.

Thank you very much.
Due to the influence of the novel coronavirus, we are not able to continue our activities.
But we, AKB48 GROUP, will continue to do our best while looking for what we can do for someone.
On March 11, 2011, we will continue to support the affected areas without letting what happened 10 years ago go away.
Thank you very much.
