From Kato Rena AKB48 Theater, an emergency live stream special!
Yes, I'm Shioi Nakanishi, who is fine from morning to night.
Now, Renacchi.
Finally.
I said it very lightly.
Yes, I'm Shioi Nakanishi, who is fine from morning to night.
It's an emergency live broadcast, but I'm sure there's a lot of talk among the fans.
How do you feel now?
I'm pretty nervous, too.
It's been a while since we've been on stage with only good friends.
I'm having a lot of fun at the dressing room.
It's like a reunion.
It's been a while.
This time, Renacchi will make an important announcement in the second half of the live broadcast.
Until then, I'd like to look back on the 12 years of Kato Rena with these funny friends.
Among these funny friends, An-chan is the only colleague.
What do you think?
What do you mean?
You're the only colleague.
I'm sure you have a lot of memories and feelings.
I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of videos of me looking back on the 12 years.
That's right.
That's about it.
Director Mion So is in the same agency as me.
That's right.
I was in M&S.
I was doing a team performance the other day.
When I was performing, the manager of the agency was watching me from over there.
I was under a lot of pressure.
I was scared.
You were scared.
Saho, Ayana, and Mogi are Renacchi's juniors.
They are the 13th generation.
Renacchi was selected for this performance.
There are three of them.
The other 13th generation, Yui, Rin, and Saki were eliminated.
There's a lot of misunderstanding.
Please don't touch it.
I understand.
There's one empty seat.
I'm sure the fans are wondering if it's Yui or Saki.
I'm sorry.
They're not here today.
You don't have to say it.
But I'd like to invite a special guest instead.
This person.
Hello, I'm Natsuki Kojima.
It's been a long time.
Welcome.
Natsuki Kojima, who is one of Renacchi's juniors and a member of AKB48.
Thank you for coming.
You're a big guest.
Thank you.
It's been a while, hasn't it?
It's been about five years since I've met the members here.
That's right.
I'm surprised that you've grown up.
You're like a relative.
It's been a long time since you've been on stage like this.
It's been a long time.
Are the fans here?
They're on the screen.
Thank you.
Today, we have guests from Renacchi.
Thank you.
You're busy.
This is really luxurious.
It's really luxurious.
If you look closely, there's a former Japanese soccer player.
I think it's a very luxurious seat.
I'd like to talk to you later, so thank you.
Thank you.
YouTube comments say,
Graduation? Renacchi general election?
We'll announce it in the second half, so please watch it until the end.
Thank you.
Let's look back at the first year of the miracle.
Here.
What? Miracle?
Miracle.
Intonation?
Miracle.
Thank you.
Let's look back.
Here it is.
You passed the 10th AKB48 audition in March 2010.
You made your debut in the theater at the Megami Kouen Theater in June.
You appeared for the first time on TVS Ariyoshi AKB Republic in November.
First of all, why did you apply for AKB's audition?
I originally had a dream of becoming a model.
When I told my parents about it, my father applied for AKB's audition on his own.
On your own?
I took a picture in front of the refrigerator in the house.
In front of the refrigerator?
I remember it very well.
I took a picture in front of the refrigerator and wondered what it would be used for.
When I took it, it was sent to the audition.
I passed the audition without knowing it.
I'm in that state now.
I see.
You're in the audition, right?
Yes, I'm in the audition.
Do you have any memories of the audition?
I don't have anything.
I know.
I really don't have anything.
You don't have anything?
I don't have anything.
If I had to say one thing, I really didn't have a sense of existence.
Really?
You look like you have a lot of things.
I'm scared of everyone.
I don't know if it's just Jukki, but everyone was able to dance.
Everyone was on a high level.
Everyone was sparkling.
I tried to make the shadows as thin as possible.
Everyone was too scary.
You've been sparkling since the audition?
I didn't get along with anyone at all.
Everyone kept calling me Rena Kato.
There was a sense of distance.
That's what it was like.
Do you remember me, Rena-chan?
I really don't remember.
You didn't talk about it during the audition?
I don't think so.
You don't have anything?
I don't have anything.
But I...
It's Mogi-chan.
I really took the audition for Jukki.
I exchanged eye contact with Annie.
I said Mogi-chan as Boo-chan.
You're really close.
I failed the audition.
I remember Annie, but I don't remember Rena-chan.
You don't remember?
I don't remember.
I don't think anyone remembers.
No way.
I think it's really thin.
So you really didn't have anything.
That's right.
I lived a thin life.
I see.
There is a video of the audition of a 12-year-old 6th grader.
How cute!
How long have you been playing the piano and violin?
I've been playing the piano since I was in kindergarten, and I just started playing the violin the other day.
What did you do for this audition?
I want to join AKB48, so I listen to various songs on my computer and watch them on magazines.
You said you like Itano-san. What is attractive about her?
She is cute, and her dance is also very cute.
Thank you.
How cute!
There is a cute Rena-chan, what do you think?
I don't remember anything.
You were lying, weren't you?
I was lying.
I wanted to join AKB, so I was lying.
That's what auditions are like.
I thought I had to say how I felt.
I don't remember anything.
You don't look like you remember anything.
That's true.
I was lying.
I see.
That's nostalgic.
And you debuted just 5 months later.
You will be on TBS's Ariyoshi AKB Kyo-Wa-Koku.
Do you remember this?
When you first appeared.
First time?
I don't remember.
What kind of project?
Ariyoshi AKB Kyo-Wa-Koku always has weird projects.
Like stretching and variety shows.
Which was the first one?
I don't remember.
You don't remember.
You don't remember at all.
I don't remember.
I see.
We have a message from the staff who was in charge of the Ariyoshi AKB Kyo-Wa-Koku.
Let's listen to it.
Here we go.
I think it was when Kato-san first participated in Ariyoshi AKB Kyo-wa-koku when she was 13 years old.
She was a middle school student, but she had a calm atmosphere, and I thought she was the type to be more active in AKB than Kyo-wa-koku.
Ariyoshi AKB Kyo-wa-koku is a program that aims to raise members who do their best to become stars.
Kato-san did a fierce zombie at the location.
However, she was taken away by a kappa-like Izuta.
I don't think she regretted it at that time, but Kato- san was immediately promoted from a researcher to a member of the AKB, and she flew beautifully.
Her hair turned black, too.
When she returned to Kyo-wa-koku as a member of the AKB, she had grown up to be able to talk with Ariyoshi- san with a smile.
The staff were so happy that they cried once.
I think Kato-san's weapon is a gap in appearance.
Don't rely on your smile, be beautiful, and do your best in everything.
Ryuta Takeda
I'm glad. Thank you.
This is Takeda-san. Do you remember?
I remember, and I also remember the zombie.
Oh, you remember?
I remember.
I don't know what it looks like on my face, but I was painted green, and I was covered like Afro, and I did something.
Oh, but everything was taken by Izuta.
Izuta is strong.
I can't beat him.
Did you regret it?
I didn't regret it.
You didn't.
Yes.
I see.
Let's take a look at the next announcement.
Here it is.
Yes, it's 2012.
I was selected as a regular member of Katayama Bucho in Saitama Super Arena. I was chosen for the first time as a single in Manatsu no Sounds Good. It was a great year for the formation of the unit Anire.
Are you okay?
It says it's been a great year.
It's been a great year.
I think it's a great leap forward.
I think so, too.
It's been three years since she joined the team, so let's take a look at the video of the announcement of the promotion to Team 4.
Now, I would like to announce the promotion to Team 4.
Kato Renan
Kawae Rina
I'm honored to be in Team 4.
I didn't expect to be announced in such a big place.
I love Team 4 and I'm very happy to be in such a team.
However, I'm not the only one to be promoted.
Even though I was promoted, I will continue to do my best.
Thank you.
Do you remember this?
I remember this.
Even now, many fans still remember this line.
I remember that I said something cheeky.
So, you remember this line.
Yes, I do.
You were so cute, Rena.
You were so cute.
Now, you talk very slowly.
You look like a beautiful woman.
But at that time, you talked very fast.
That's right.
You have a different impression now.
You look sharp.
You have grown up.
Wait a minute.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Now, let's talk to the audience.
She is the editor-in-chief of the magazine SWEET.
She is also the editor-in-chief of Otona Muse.
She is Kayoko Watanabe.
She found you at the concert of Saitama Super Arena.
Let's talk to her.
Thank you.
Do you remember this line?
Yes, I do.
Every time Renacchi was taken out, I was like, what is this cute girl?
When she grows up, I want her to appear in the magazine I'm in charge of.
I want to work with her.
I've been keeping an eye on her.
It's been about five or six years since I started working with her.
That's how long I've been thinking there's a cute girl.
That's amazing.
There are a lot of AKB members.
You're the cutest of them all.
How do you feel?
I'm relieved to see Chiyori's face.
Why?
Why are you relieved to see my face?
I'm so grateful.
I'm so happy to be able to work with her again.
She was in charge of the photo book.
The photo book is a treasure of my life.
I'm so grateful.
That's great.
In just two months after the announcement of the award,
Manatsu's Sounds Good will be the first single to be selected.
That's amazing. That's fast.
In just two months.
An-chan's single was also selected.
There's also a making-of video of the music video.
I'd like to see that, too.
Here you go.
It was overseas.
What was it? Okinawa?
I don't remember.
It's nostalgic.
I remember.
It's a gym uniform.
That's amazing.
Was there such a scene?
I don't remember.
It's nostalgic.
Everyone wrote their own name.
I can read Lena's handwriting.
It's tight.
It's moving.
It's pulling.
I'm scared.
I'm not in the mood to exercise, so I rolled around.
What should I do?
I don't think the system will change.
It's cute.
It's red.
It's hot.
Do you remember?
It's Guam, right?
Yes, it's Guam.
Sorry, when I asked you where you were, you said Okinawa.
Okinawa.
You don't even remember the place.
There were a lot of summer songs.
There were a lot.
We went to Okinawa, too.
I see.
I was watching you, and you seemed calm.
That's right.
How was it at that time?
There were a lot of people of the same age as me.
I remember a lot.
We made a cake together, didn't we?
We had a lot of time during the MV shooting.
Kawae, Juri, and Minarun were there.
We gathered in the room and made a cake together.
Did you have time to make a cake?
Yes, we did.
Surprisingly, we had time.
Yes, we did.
We stayed at a hotel with a kitchen.
That's amazing.
We made a cake together.
You were so young.
We had a lot of fun.
At that time, I didn't go shopping alone.
What?
You didn't go shopping?
I was shopping on Zoom.
You were having fun alone.
I'm sorry.
You were shopping.
We were making a cake.
I remember that.
You were close.
Yes.
I'd like to ask a question to the audience.
You've been close since you were a student.
I'd like to ask a question to Omatsu.
What do you think, Omatsu?
What kind of girl were you?
Since I was a student, I've been really thin- skinned.
I don't have any memories of being thin-skinned.
I see.
Because I'm a good girl, there are many things I can't say.
I'd like to ask you about that.
Since I became an adult, we've been getting along well.
I feel like I've grown up.
I can talk a lot.
I'm about to cry.
What?
I miss the video.
I'm about to cry.
I see.
You said that you were close.
You were thin-skinned.
You were really thin-skinned.
I wasn't strong.
But now you're shining.
I'm glad I've grown up.
You've grown up.
Yes.
Let's go back to the announcement.
This is what we did in 2014.
Here it is.
In February, we moved to the Minegishi Team 4 at the Daisokaku Festival.
We won the election and came in 32nd place.
There's a lot going on.
First, here's a video of the Daisokaku Festival.
Please pay attention to Renacchi's expression.
It's dangerous.
I'll announce the new Team 4.
The new Team 4 captain is Minami Minegishi.
Next, Oomori Miyu.
Kato Rena.
Rena-chi?
Oh no!
Rena-chi, I'm sorry!
Are you okay?
Look!
It's on your face, Rena-chi!
What's wrong with your face?
I've said this before, but I really hated it.
It's on your face.
I've said this before, but AKB is a team with a lot of seniors.
I was worried about joining a team with a lot of juniors.
And Team 4 was already there, so I was worried about joining it.
I thought I would never get along with everyone.
That's why you made that face.
I see.
But Team 4 was the same, right?
Yes.
What did you think of Rena-chi and Sakho at that time?
If Team 4 wasn't there, I wouldn't have gotten along with Rena-chi.
I'm glad I wasn't with her.
I was happy that my seniors joined because I was in the same team as her.
I was happy.
Did you all feel happy?
I was very happy.
I thought she was a scary senior.
She was scary.
I didn't know what she was thinking.
I was happy to be in the same team and get along with her.
But the first lesson was like the end of the world.
What?
It was like the end of the world.
I don't remember.
At first, I knew I wasn't getting along with everyone.
I was depressed during the lesson.
But I got along with everyone before I knew it.
I see.
What was it?
Tameguchi and Keigo Kinshirei.
I see.
Na-chan made it for me.
Na-chan?
Yes.
Na-chan made it?
She said it herself.
When I had a job with Na-chan,
I asked her if I could get along with her.
She said,
Why don't you quit being Keigo?
I was very serious.
She said,
The distance may be shortened.
She said it very seriously.
I said,
Let's do that.
Did you say that to everyone?
I think that's when it started.
Everyone called you Renacchi.
That's right.
Everyone called me Renacchi.
I think that's when it started.
Thanks to Na-chan.
That's great.
Na-chan changed it.
She changed it for me.
That's how you got along with everyone.
You were chosen as the chosen one.
That's how it is now.
I'm happy.
I see.
We've overcome the dark years of 2014.
I'd like to see Renacchi's next year.
Here it is.
Yes.
Announcement of moving to Team B in March.
The first Renacchi general election will be held in June.
In September, Teruo Iwamoto will appear in a performance called Youth Is Not Over.
I'm curious about this Renacchi general election.
Yes.
First of all, can I ask you how it was done?
This was Google Plus at the time.
Yes.
Ah.
There was.
Google Plus.
Yes.
It was Google Plus.
I thought I'd choose a cute girl and draw her.
I drew her randomly.
Then Akimoto-sensei said,
let's draw a song.
Wow.
Yes.
That's how it started.
It's nostalgic.
Wow.
There are a lot of members.
Everyone is cute.
That's right.
Really.
Shall we introduce the members?
Thank you.
Natsumi Matsuoka, Yuka Tano, Ryouka Ooshima, Sayaka Yamamoto, Haruka Shimazaki, and Rena Kato.
I included myself.
Yes.
Nanami Sato, Mion Mukaichi, Sumire Sato, Ami Maeda, Natsumi Matsuoka, Miru Shiroma, and An- chan.
Yes.
Yui Koujina, Anna Murashige, and Mogi-chan.
And Akahira-san, a former member of AKB48.
Akahira-san, how are you?
I'm fine.
I didn't expect to see you here.
I know you two are close,
but I heard you two are dating on the Internet.
What?
Who said that?
I don't believe it.
I think so.
I don't think so.
Thank you.
I don't think so.
I think Kato came up with the idea for the first MV,
but we have to come up with a plan for the second MV.
We have to come up with a plan every time.
Makino-san is not here today.
Makino-san and...
Makino-san.
Makino-san and...
Makino-san.
Makino-san is here.
Stop it.
I remember that it was hard for the three of us to come up with a plan.
I'm really grateful for the election.
I see.
And...
I'm not on the Internet because Akahira is not here.
I don't have that right.
Seriously, you have nothing.
Nothing.
I want to say this.
Zero authority.
It's not like that.
I see.
That's what happened.
That's why it's a good memory with Akahira-san.
You two are close.
Yes, we are close.
So we'll show you some messages from Natsumi-kan, who won the first election.
Please.
I'm Natsumi Tanaka, who won first place in the first election of Lena Chisou.
I won first place in the Lena Chisou election, and there were a lot of people who knew me because of Madonna's choice, so I'm really grateful to Lena Chisou.
As you can see from the lyrics of Madonna's Choice, I've always wondered why I was first place, but Lena Chisou said she liked my MC.
At AKB's concerts, Lena Chisou was always busy, but when I was MCing, she came to see me up to the sleeves of the stage and said it was fun today. She's a very kind sister to me.
In the middle of it, she said, Hana-chan is cute, Hana- chan is cute, Hana-chan is cute, but I still love Lena Chisou.
Please continue to get along as the Lena Chisou family. Thank you so much for winning first place.
Thank you.
It was from Natsumikan.
I'm glad.
It's not right at all.
It's not right?
Not at all.
When I heard that Natsumikan was first place, I was really surprised.
She said she would choose Kawaii-kun with her face, but she was first place with her face.
Of course I like the face too.
But the most interesting thing was winning.
Natsumikan was in charge of MCing at Rikuawa. It was really interesting at that time.
I remember I went to talk to her. It was at Majisuka.
I said, Nene, you're an interesting girl, right?
Nene, you're an interesting girl, right?
It's scary to say that to a senior.
I said, Nene, you're an interesting girl, right?
We got along well and won first place in the general election.
I see.
Chiyori seems to be in too.
What did you say?
I didn't say anything.
Chiyori seems to be in too.
Did you hear that?
I see.
So, let's talk to Teruo.
How was it?
The tele-performance.
The sword dance.
There was a lot of people.
The sword dance.
You were really energetic.
How was it?
There was a lot of people.
You were a good member.
Renacchi was really busy at that time.
He didn't appear much on TV shows.
But the other members were really good.
They were all bright.
But Renacchi was even more bright.
The number of applications was different.
That's true.
You don't have to say that.
It was really great.
How old were you at that time?
I was 20 years old.
You don't know anything, Teru-san.
Were you 20 years old at that time?
Maybe.
What do you mean?
It was 2015.
Not at all.
You were 18 years old?
That's right.
I was in my teens.
That's a long time ago.
It was 6 years ago.
I was 17 years old.
6 years ago?
That's right.
I thought I was 17 or 18.
I was getting more and more beautiful.
I'm glad I was able to be with you.
There were 4 members.
You look happy.
That's why I'm here today.
That's why I'm here.
Natsu is here today.
It's been a long time.
How do you feel about Natsu?
I think I became beautiful.
Really?
I'm happy.
Did you become beautiful?
I became beautiful.
Really?
Do you still like her?
I like her.
What?
You were pushing her.
It's Lena's day today.
I made her feel better.
Who do you like now?
Chiyori.
Chiyori?
You're lying.
It's been 3 weeks.
Thank you.
It's been a long time since I came to the theater.
Everyone is beautiful.
Please watch the performance of today.
Team A performance.
How was it?
I thought the last song was painful.
The dance was so cute.
I thought everyone was good.
That was painful.
Everyone was doing their best at the end.
It was hard.
Are you okay?
Thank you.
Please enjoy the rest of the performance.
Thank you.
Let's move on.
Next, let's take a look at the three-year activities of 2016, 2017, and 2018.
Here it is.
June 2016, the second election of Lena Chisou.
July 2017, Kojima Haruna Produce's first appearance on Sweet.
September 2017, the announcement of the ruins of the office of Mama&San.
March 2018, the release of the first photo book, Dareka no Shiwaza.
There's a lot going on here.
That's true.
There's a lot going on.
Let's take a look at the video of the second election of Lena Chisou.
Here it is.
Wow!
Good evening, everyone. I'm Rena Kato.
The time has finally come to announce the election of Rena Chisou.
Now, let's introduce the members.
NGT48 Researcher, Yuria Kato.
Emily Yamashita.
It's really hard.
It took 15 minutes to line up.
Yui Yokoyama.
That's all for the 168 members.
Wow, there are so many.
The first announcement of the election of Rena Chisou.
That's all.
The final announcement of the election of Rena Kato.
Oguri Yui.
How do you feel?
She's really cute and a good girl.
She also gave me a birthday present.
She's a really good girl, so I hope many people will vote for her.
Wow, it's been a long time.
It was announced like this.
How do you feel?
Renacchi was the first to pick up Yui, right?
That's right.
But before that, Teru-san was the first to pick up Yui.
Teru-san was the first to pick up Yui.
We found Yui.
That's amazing.
Next, in July 2017, Haruna Kojima was the first to appear in the magazine Sweet.
Let's take a look at the article.
I saw it.
It was really cute.
I saw it a lot.
What do you think?
It's so cute.
The make-up.
It's different from usual, isn't it?
It's all Kojima-san's personal clothes.
It's amazing.
It's so cute.
It's nostalgic.
I didn't see anything.
It's sexy.
It's really sexy.
It was really fun.
I was too nervous.
I see.
How did you decide to publish this?
Do you remember this?
It was during Kojima-san's concert.
That's right.
That?
That's right.
It was at 9 o'clock.
No way.
I won.
Really?
I won the chanko hot pot.
I remember.
I won the chanko hot pot with Osmo-san.
But I didn't go.
Why?
I didn't eat chanko hot pot with Osmo-san.
I remember.
I forgot.
I don't remember.
It's been years.
I don't know why I won the chanko hot pot.
You did.
I did.
Really?
Yes.
I won the chanko hot pot.
That's right.
Izumina and I said,
Give me a chance.
We said,
Give me a chance.
We said,
Let's do it.
We didn't win at all.
It's been a long time.
That's right.
We won the chanko hot pot.
What?
That's it.
That's right.
I see.
That's what happened.
Someone sent us a video message.
Please take a look.
Good evening.
I'm Haruna Kojima.
It's a tweet.
Actually,
It was one of the prizes for my graduation concert, Kojimatsuri.
It's like a tweet.
The tweet is a famous magazine.
I don't know who this is.
It's hard to say.
I thought it would be bad if I drew Chiori or something like that.
I thought I'd miss that number from the lottery.
But it's the last one, so I'm going to choose from all of them.
It was Renatchi who drew it.
I thought I had it.
I'm glad I did.
I was relieved.
Since then, I've been reading tweets every month, and I've been posting photos on Twitter.
I was very happy with my activities.
I'm sure there will be more in the future.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Bye.
Thank you very much.
Beautiful.
That's what it says.
You really drew Renatchi by luck, right?
That's the number I've only drawn once.
I heard about it later.
Maybe I should exchange numbers.
It's hard to get Chiori.
I was aiming for it, but you said,
Please give me a bad chance.
I've been saying it all the time.
What if I get it behind my back?
I see.
But I was able to draw it, and I decided to put it out.
That's amazing.
I'd like to hear from the guests.
Sweet Yamaguchi and stylist Tanaka.
Can you tell us about the charm of Renatchi?
It's always a fluffy atmosphere.
If you look at the camera for a moment, you can pose and switch.
I always think it's amazing how you can do it.
It was a very tight schedule during the photo shoot.
It was pretty tight, but I didn't complain at all.
I'm always having fun shooting.
Thank you very much.
He was in charge of the editing, so it was fun.
How about you, Tanaka-san?
I really like Renacchi's lack of self-awareness.
When we're shooting, she always asks me if I look good.
She asks me about my style and poses.
She always asks me if I look good.
Of course I'm cute and have a good style.
So I think I look good.
But she has a face that makes me wonder if I'm okay.
I don't think she's aware that she's cute.
Even when she's being teased by the staff,
she's very serious.
She doesn't realize she's being teased.
I think her lack of self-awareness is natural and cute.
And I don't know what she's being told right now.
You don't know?
I don't know.
Maybe she knows me the best.
I like how she's flustered.
I see.
Thank you.
You don't have much confidence?
Confidence...
I think it's bad to not have confidence.
Why are you laughing?
That's what I think.
Are you confident?
Yes, I am.
What?
I'm more confident when I say, please give me a good chance.
You might be confident.
I'm always confident.
Thank you.
In September 2017, MAMAMOO & SUN's new album was released.
How do you feel about it?
Takamina-san and Kojima-san announced it together in the showroom.
With Mii-san's picture.
Yes, with Mii-chan's picture.
Did the manager decide it?
It wasn't decided, but I saw Takamina-san and Kojima- san was there.
It's been 4 years since then.
That's right.
I see.
It's true.
Takamina-san and Kojima-san are similar.
That's right.
That's how it was announced.
We have a message from Tomoko Ogi, the representative of MAMAMOO & SUN.
I'll read it out loud.
She's here.
Do you want to read it?
Can I read it?
I'm sorry, but I'll read it.
I found a 14-year-old trainer at a Seibu Dome concert in 2011.
She had her bangs up, her arms and legs long, and she was singing cheerfully.
Her smile was so cute that it left a great impression on me.
Since then, I've wanted her to come to Productions Ogi, but the timing didn't match.
In 2017, when we launched MAMAMOO & SUN, our wish finally came true.
I was able to announce MAMAMOO & SUN as the first talent with Miyon Mukaichi.
So I'm even more fond of her.
The approach over the past 6 years has improved.
When she was 20 years old, she seemed to be a cool 14-year-old.
She seemed to be a cool 14-year-old.
But when I talked to her, she had a completely different impression.
She was very kind and thoughtful.
And she was still a cute girl with a cute smile.
Since last year, I've been receiving reports that I want to find what I want to do.
I'm rooting for Katrina, who is actually moving towards that dream.
While smiling, we, the management, will fully support Katrina, who is actually thinking and working hard.
Please continue to support us.
MAMAMOO & SUN, Tomoko Ogi.
How do you feel?
It's a selfish wish.
She listened to me even when I was talking about myself.
I'm really grateful.
It's not a reward, but I hope I can do it in the future.
Please continue to support us.
Thank you.
Next, in March 2018, the first photo book, Someone's Work, will be released.
It's a cover.
It's so cute.
I heard that many people found out about Kato Lena through this photo book and later found out that Lena was a member of AKB.
How do you feel?
I'm so happy.
I had a lot of fun.
I had a lot of fun shooting.
It was my first time shooting a photo book.
At first, I was worried about what would happen.
My manager told me that my costume was a string.
He told me that there was no cloth.
I was worried about what to do.
At that time, there was a cloth on Twitter.
There was a cloth, wasn't there?
I hid it with various things.
I had a lot of fun.
I want many people to see it now.
That's why it's fixed.
I'm sure you have a lot of memories.
Nominated for the 100 most beautiful faces in the world.
It's been 10 years since their debut, and they moved to Team B at the pre-release announcement the other day.
And here we are.
We've been looking back at the past 12 years.
First of all, the members are here, so I'd like to hear your impressions.
First of all, Natsun.
How was it? Did you hear it?
I've spent the longest time with Lena.
I think Lena's popularity is because of her personality.
I want you to cherish it from now on.
I've been watching her since she was a little sister.
She's grown up a lot, and she's become a wonderful woman. Congratulations.
Thank you.
It's like a wedding ceremony.
I'd like to ask An-chan.
We've been together since the beginning.
I think the first year was my year.
We've been together for a long time, and I've learned a lot.
We started at the same starting line, but we're going in different directions.
I'm so happy that we're moving forward.
We've grown up.
It's been 12 years.
Lena was a kid, but she was an elementary school student, so I thought she was a normal adult woman.
I'd like to say the same thing.
I see.
We've been waiting for you here.
This is an important announcement from Kato Lena to the fans.
Please.
I'm a little nervous.
Do your best.
What is it?
Today, I'd like to announce it in front of my important people.
I've compiled it in a letter, so please let me read it.
I'll read it.
I, Kato Rena,
Oh no, I'm about to cry. What should I do?
What should I do?
I'm graduating from AKB48.
And from now on, I want to move on to hair and beauty.
I was able to join because my father raised me.
I've been walking the AKB48 path for 12 years.
Oh no, what should I do?
Oh no, I'm about to cry.
For the first time in 12 years, I decided my life on my own.
Ah, I can't read it.
It's okay, take your time.
When I joined AKB48, it was already a popular and blessed environment.
I was an elementary school student with no social experience,
so I tried my best to follow the flow in front of me without thinking objectively.
I was standing on the stage as a member of AKB48,
but I realized later that I wasn't able to catch up with it.
I just did what I was told to do, and I did my best.
That was the only way I knew, and I thought it was the right way.
I didn't think about it, didn't move, didn't know what to think,
and I've been living without knowing what to do.
Now, it's not about who you become, but about whether you can have your own will.
I'm grateful to all the fans who support me, but I'm also very sorry.
However, I was able to continue for 12 years because of the support of the fans.
I was taught the importance of being supported by people.
This experience has become a guidepost for my future.
I think these 12 years of activities were very meaningful and important to me.
I love makeup very much.
By doing makeup, I feel confident in myself,
meet a new me, and get closer to the person I want to be.
Now, due to the COVID-19 situation,
I can't live every day positively and happily.
But if I can be confident in myself and be positive,
I may be able to rethink what I had given up little by little.
As I have been supported by my fans,
I want to be useful to people even a little with makeup.
This is my decision from the experience I have accumulated over the past 12 years.
I started going to a beauty school.
I want to get a beauty license and study properly,
so that I can participate in the beauty industry without being ashamed of my skills.
And I'm sad that I don't have a chance to interact with my fans who have supported me.
I will do my best to leave something in the future,
so please continue to support me.
And finally,
thank you very much for your busy schedule.
I'm very happy that you listened to my determination here.
I feel like I was encouraged to continue without giving up.
I'm still immature, but I look forward to working with you in the future.
That's all from me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I feel sad.
It's time to announce your graduation.
That's right.
It's time to announce your graduation.
I didn't expect you to cry.
I wanted to announce it with the members and those who have been involved.
I have a letter from your parents.
I'll read it.
Don't worry. I won't cry.
I'm going to cry.
I'm going to read it.
To Rena-chan,
When I heard you were going to announce your graduation, I remembered the audition and the days when you were a student.
You were an ordinary elementary school student who had never danced, so it must have been hard to practice.
Of course, it was your first time to practice so much that you could get a cramp in your leg, but I saw that you were working hard.
You had a lot of happy and tearful moments, didn't you?
I think that's why you have the experience you have now.
And it's thanks to the people around you that you've been able to work so hard.
Don't forget to be grateful.
Finally, thank you to everyone who made time for Rena's graduation announcement.
I look forward to working with you in the future.
That's it.
Thank you.
How do you feel about the letters from your dad and mom?
They were the ones who supported me the most.
I can't blink.
I'm full of gratitude.
I can't dance well.
They made me a sofa at home.
They put a mirror in my house.
You're grateful to your mom and dad.
I'll give you this precious letter.
Thank you.
And there's a phone call with your sister.
Sister!
You're connected!
Do you have anything to say to your sister?
I'm getting nervous.
Do you have anything to say after graduation?
I cried a little.
Your sister cried, too.
I'm going to cry.
How was it?
How different are you from your sister?
Who are you asking? Me?
Your sister?
Yes, my sister.
We are five different.
One? Five?
So you are five different.
Can you tell us how you spend your time at home?
It's noisy.
What?
It's noisy?
My family is the loudest.
Is that so?
How is it noisy? Do you have an episode?
Episode?
Yes.
She always comes to bother me.
What?
She comes to bother me when I'm studying.
My mom gets mad at me.
She is a troublesome sister.
I see.
Oh, I see.
You wrote a letter.
Yes.
Can I read it?
Yes.
I'm going to read it.
To my sister.
I don't remember writing a letter to my sister at all.
On the contrary, my sister gives me a letter every time I answer.
I'm glad about that.
My sister has been working since I got interested in it.
I've never told my sister,
but when my sister became an AKB member and I was in my puberty,
I didn't want to be ridiculed or gossiped.
I thought it would be better if my sister wasn't an AKB member.
But my sister never hated me,
and she has always been my proud sister.
I think it's because I knew she was doing her best
and she had a personality.
She came home late and didn't have much time off.
I didn't think much of it in the past,
but I finally realized how great she was at this age.
No matter what people say,
I can say with confidence that my sister was doing her best.
I didn't support her as a generation,
but I'm glad that she was elected.
I've been supporting my sister to the point where I can cry at any time.
On the contrary, my sister conveys her support for me and her feelings for me with words.
My sister praises me for everything because I'm a father and mother who can't praise my children so much.
It's a helping hand for me to do my best.
No matter what I do, my sister helps me without denying it, but I sometimes regret that I can't do anything for her.
I'm going to be a good adult enough to help my sister if something happens to her, so rely on me whenever something happens.
By the way, if anything happens to me, I'm full of confidence in my sister.
Once again, congratulations on your graduation.
Of course, it doesn't change that you're my sister even if you quit AKB, and you're always my proud sister.
I love my sister who loves me more than my sister.
Wow, that's a big compliment.
It's a very good letter.
I'm not my sister at all, but I'm crying so much that my members are proud of me.
How do you feel about your sister's letter?
You don't look like you're in the video, do you?
I don't think I've ever had a chance to be told this.
I was happy that I didn't get a letter from my sister.
I'm sure it's the same for everyone, but I'm sure my sister doesn't want me to join AKB.
I don't want to be told that I'm in AKB.
I don't know.
Maybe I shouldn't have joined AKB.
I should have done something for my sister.
That's what I thought.
But when I received this letter,
I could hear her true feelings.
She didn't tell me that she didn't want to join AKB.
I thought she didn't want to join.
But when I read the letter,
I could see that she was doing her best.
That's what I thought.
When I heard that today,
I was so happy.
I could hear her true feelings.
Once again.
I see.
That's what she said.
Are you still in touch with her?
Yes, I am.
That's what she said.
How do you feel?
I'm glad that I joined AKB.
Thank you so much.
I'm glad, too.
On behalf of AKB...
Write your sister.
Thank you, sister.
It was a wonderful letter.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I'm sure we'll meet again later.
Yes, we will.
So, on behalf of AKB,
Anny, please.
I've seen the members' graduation announcement so many times.
I've heard a lot about Lena's graduation and her future.
I thought I would never cry.
But I can't.
I can't.
The memories of the old days come back like a flash of light.
There was a time when we said we wanted to quit early.
I really wanted to quit early.
It was hard at that time.
It may be a luxurious worry.
But really...
Well...
It was hard for me to be in front of the camera.
We were always in the same environment, so I wanted to quit.
There were a lot of things that made it hard for me.
We've been through a lot together.
But now, after hearing Renacchi's graduation announcement and seeing her back,
I thought she was really reliable.
I could see the future and I was thinking for myself.
I wanted to support Renacchi in that way.
Thank you for your hard work.
You've been saying that a lot.
You've been nervous, haven't you?
Your face is a little...
I'm crying because I feel sorry for Renacchi.
From Kato Rena AKB48 Theater, we'll have an emergency live broadcast special.
Lastly, I'd like to say goodbye to all the members of the stage by singing a song.
Then I'd like you to take a seat.
Thank you.
I can't sing.
Are you all right?
I didn't think it would be like this.
It's a little dangerous, isn't it?
It's going to be filmed from now on.
Are you all right?
Is it dangerous?
I'm crying a lot right now.
My nose is red.
It's cute, but it's...
I can't help but cry.
Yeah.
I wish I could fix it, but I don't think I have time.
But it's cute, so it's okay.
I think that's a good thing.
It's cute.
I don't cry like this.
Yes.
Are you all right?
All right, then.
Since we're here today, I'd like to sing a song with the members here.
Please listen to it.
TANPOPO NO GESSHIN
On the railroad tracks, TANPOPO bloomed
The long winter ended
The spring that we waited for has come
Let's walk on the road of sunshine and have a drink
I was sighing a little bit
I'm used to being jealous
I feel embarrassed
The sky without a single cloud
Birds also fly freely
The days of the past rain
Are for today
One day I realized
My heart was shaking
In someone's heart
I had forgotten
The cold air that sucks in all the worries
The young power that stands up
To the usual stumbling block
Weakness will someday become strength
It's pathetic to be in a place like this
The strength of vitality and pain
I was taught
For some reason, my eyes are hot
Dreams, hopes, and the future are here
Now, the life in that
I will grow up firmly
The sunshade will become a sunshade
I didn't notice
My heart was shaking
In someone's heart
I had forgotten
The cold air that sucks in all the worries
The young power that stands up
To the usual stumbling block
Weakness will someday become strength
I sang a song for you.
Now that you've announced your graduation,
is there anything you'd like to say to everyone?
Well, February 20th will be our last activity.
We still have some time until then.
I'd like to make a lot of memories with the fans and the members.
I look forward to working with you.
Wow, you're not dead!
I feel lonely all of a sudden.
I cried.
I'm going to cry again.
I cried so much that I thought it was my graduation performance.
I saw the staff crying in front of me.
I thought you were a person who loved us.
I'm full of gratitude.
The members came late at night.
Thank you so much for coming to see us.
I'm glad I could announce it without regret.
Thank you so much.
It's not a prank.
It's really an announcement.
I'm serious.
Thank you so much.
Goodbye, everyone.
Thank you so much.
Good job, Ena-chan.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
