AKB48 worked in the past!
Yeah!
AKB48 is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025.
In AKB48's 20 years of history,
we will talk about AKB48's best points and
AKB48's ambitions for the future
with members who will become the next generation.
Yes!
Let's talk about it!
Have you ever been depressed in your life?
I'm sure you all have been depressed in your life.
Let's ask!
When I was in middle school, I had a midterms.
I had a really bad grade.
When I changed my major to another high school,
I was frustrated and depressed.
I was going to talk about something else,
but I remembered something when I heard about the midterms.
What is it?
I had 14 points in my life.
That's high!
14?
Wait, is it a small test?
What kind of test is it?
You have to pass it.
It's a serious test!
No, it's not.
It's still high.
No way!
14 is still excellent!
What?
It's excellent!
Wait, wait, wait, it's a perfect score, isn't it?
But I was relieved.
Even parents can do that.
Because I always told my parents about my grades.
14 is a grade I've never told my parents about it,
so I said it while I was depressed, and my mom was kind to me.
She told me not to hide it.
It's only recently,
but AKB48 has a face-shown poster called "kabesha" in the theater, right?
But it doesn't mean anything.
Even though no one passed by, it fell.
Your own?
Yes.
Oh no!
Eh!?
My own kabesha fell like "bong"!
But after that, I thought "this is bad!" and when something bad happens, I feel like "oh, it's because of that!"
Oh no!
Yesterday's story.
Yesterday's story about this shooting day.
I don't know if you know it or not, but it's quite negative.
Negative.
I've never heard of it.
It's negative.
That's why I thought of everything in a bad direction.
Yesterday, I couldn't stop crying.
Really?
You were crying all the time, weren't you?
I lost confidence in myself.
So yesterday, I was pretty depressed in my life.
Eh!? Now!?
Is "now" coming?
"Now", "now" is coming quite often.
It's a big deal.
At that time, don't you rely on songs?
When you're depressed.
You do, right?
So, this time's theme is this!
When you're depressed, you want to listen to AKB48's song!
There's a lot of songs.
Yes, there's a lot of songs.
Yes, we're going to have all five of us sing a song that's perfect for this situation.
We're going to have one person talk about their love for AKB48 for three minutes.
And we're going to have the viewers brainwash AKB48 with love!
Yes!
So, who should we start with?
I'd like to start with Masai-chan.
I'm going to leave the top batter to you.
Yes!
Here's the song that I, Masai Mayu, would like you to listen to when you're depressed.
The first song is "Sentakumonotachi".
It's not like AKB48 has a lot of cheering songs or anything like that.
I don't think there's a lot of songs that cheer you up, but I'd like you to pay attention to the lyrics.
First of all, it's called "laundrymen", so it's a lyric that says "laundrymen" a lot.
There's a lyric that says, "On a sunny garden, I put a focus on a rope and a colorful wet laundry and dried it while lining it up neatly."
Personally, I think this laundry is us.
I think there are a lot of opportunities to pay attention to this focus-on rope in everyday life.
As the lyrics go on, you can relax and dry out in the spring breeze and holidays.
The scenery is like that, and the laundry you're thinking about is getting more and more relaxed and calming down.
I think it's a lyric that cheers you up and brings us in, but it's also a lyric that brings us together.
It's a song that I really like.
Yes, then it's the second song.
This is the second song.
It's "waiting party".
Yes, this song is good, but I have a lot of memories of it.
When I appeared in "sakagari park" before, I had a feeling like this, but if you don't count it properly, you won't be able to do it properly.
The first day!
I was so nervous that I couldn't understand it at all, and the seniors next to me taught me how to do it, and I had a lot of kind eyes during the actual performance, so it remains as a very fun memory, so I remember this kind of situation as a memory of my own, and it's also a song that makes me want to do my best again, and it's
also a song that you can enjoy without worrying about anything at a party on the street corner, so it's a song that I'd like you to listen to if you're feeling down or tired.
Listen to it!
Wow! I'm happy!
You're all growing up!
That's right! I think it's good, too!
Even on the first day of the performance, I was able to enjoy it without being nervous, and I think I've grown up thanks to the help of my seniors like that.
That's right! You said it the other day, didn't you?
You used to be very energetic before, but now you can eat bento!
That's right! Before, I couldn't eat bento on the first day of the performance because I was nervous, but now I can eat it even on the first day of the performance!
That's great!
Next up is...
AI-chan!
It's the second time.
AI-chan!
Yes!
Well, here's AI-chan's song!
Yes! I'm Sato Airi!
Yes! The song I'd like you to listen to when you're feeling down is...
"Kinmokusei"!
Yes! Well, this song is also a song I performed in the park, but I haven't performed it yet.
But when I listen to it, I feel better and I listen to it over and over again.
I think it's a song you want to listen to when you're walking.
I'm really depressed right now.
It's important.
I'm seriously worried right now.
I think there are people who are worried about even the smallest things.
Please listen to this speech and listen to it.
This song "Kinmokusei" is...
At first, it's really...
It's about how you're depressed in your everyday life.
The lyrics go on and on and on.
Among them, I really like the smell of this flower called "kinmokusei".
It can be a perfume.
I think you all know about it.
The season is September or October.
I don't think it's yet.
I want to listen to it in this season.
It's a song you want to listen to in the fall.
"I want to listen to it" is also in the lyrics.
It smells sweet, doesn't it? I'm relieved.
There are lyrics like that.
I want to listen to it in this season.
The smell of "kinmokusei" is all over the city.
When I smell it, I'm relieved.
I think this season has come again.
Among them, my favorite lyrics are...
It's the last chorus.
I'll do it over and over again.
This season will come again.
I can't think of lyrics like this.
It's true that this season comes many times in September, October, and fall.
When I was depressed about this...
It's a song that makes you feel like you can do it over and over again when you get depressed.
I think it's a song that will definitely be with you, so I hope you, like me, who are depressed now, will listen to this song and cheer up.
Someday, when I get better, I'd like to perform "Kinmokusei" again.
You're wrong.
I like sweet words, but I also like humble and honest words.
I like "Kinmokusei" sweet words, too. It's a song that will be with you and be close to you.
By the way, is there anything you want to do over and over again?
You said you wanted to do it over and over again.
I haven't made any mistakes.
For example, in the actual performance or various auditions, I haven't made any mistakes, but there have been too many times when I wasn't satisfied.
I'm not satisfied, so I don't have to say that I can't do it over and over again, but I'm doing my best to think I want to do it over and over again, so I think I want to do it over and over again.
That's right.
You're a perfectionist.
That's why you can do it over and over again.
I'd like you to play the song for me.
Shall I go in first?
In the middle.
I'll take it in the middle.
This is YOKI CHANNEL.
YOKI CHANNEL.
Let me start.
The AKB48 song I listen to when I'm depressed is...
Ta-da! "Yume wo Shinaseru Waki Ni Ikanai Desu".
This song was performed at the end of "Q" theater.
I didn't perform it, but the two of you participated in it.
When I listened to the song, I thought it was amazing.
The lyrics are cool and there are a lot of things in it.
How can I say...
I think everyone has their own way of getting depressed.
Some people push themselves like AI-chan.
Some people say, "My life is over. I can't do it anymore."
Even if you're a little depressed, you can cheer up the next day.
I think there are songs and genres that go well with depressed people.
It's a song that makes you want to do your best even if you're depressed.
People like me may look positive and cheerful like this.
But I'm always depressed.
I'm a negative person.
That's right.
I'm a negative person.
Unexpectedly, there's something hidden in my heart.
I can't say it.
I think there are a lot of people like me in the world.
I think there are people like me who want to do this or love me, but I can't say it.
I think there are people like me.
At times like that...
When I listen to it, it's amazing. The lyrics are also about walking wherever you want with your own will, but I think it's really important to have your own will, isn't it?
After all, with my own will, how can I say it? Life is boring, isn't it? Honestly, life is only once, so I think it's better to do what you want to do as you like.
That's what I think. Well, it's a negative argument, but I think there are people like me who have something hidden in their hearts like this.
So, when you're depressed or confused at times like that, when you listen to this song, I think you can go towards your goal like "Let's do my best with my own will", so I think this song is recommended for people who are depressed like that, so please listen to it.
Wow, everyone is starting to fit in perfectly.
We're starting to understand each other.
But there are words I'm curious about...
Negative ear?
Negative ear? What do you mean?
Yamazaki doesn't know either. Yamazaki uses that kind of word a lot, doesn't she?
Words you don't know yourself.
Yes, negative... It's negative.
That's why it's negative ear.
There was also "negative ear" earlier.
Negative ear.
There's no negative ear, is there?
Well, life is depressing, isn't it?
So, when you want to be depressed and you're like "I'm definitely going to be depressed today", I don't think it's like that, but when you're depressed, you can get together with me, or on the contrary, I think you should listen to dark songs and get depressed more and more.
I think you should listen to dark songs and get depressed more and more.
That's right.
I think you should get together.
You can get better than this. You can be depressed and depressed. You can only get better.
What makes you depressed, Yamazaki?
Yamazaki? I have many things that make me depressed in my life.
I don't usually care about words that I don't care about, and at that time, I get depressed at once.
And sometimes I'm like "wow" inside of me, so when I'm like that, I also rely on songs and when I'm depressed, I listen to songs that make me feel depressed and it goes down more and more.
So, when I'm depressed and I think "is it enough?", I listen to positive songs or songs with strong will and do my best from tomorrow.
It's your routine.
Yes, it's my routine.
When I listened to you just now, I thought that you encourage me a lot.
You encourage me a lot about my motivation and things like that, but you also have a lot of things you're always worried about,
but I'm glad I found out that you listen to songs like this and cheer up when you're depressed.
Really?
You're always encouraging me, so I'm glad I found out that you're encouraged by this.
I'm glad.
Really?
But songs are good, aren't they?
Yes.
Then, let's go further.
Yes.
As I thought, I'd like to say "big senior" at the end of this show.
As I thought, "big senior" is life.
I'm in my next generation.
Yes, you are in your next generation today.
Next generation.
I'm in my next generation.
Oh, you are in your next generation.
I'm in my next generation.
Now?
Then, let's listen to Eriko's song.
This is AKB song I listen to when I'm depressed.
Are you looking at the sunset?
I think this song is quite general.
It's a song that cheers me up and pushes me back.
When I was in middle school before joining AKB,
or when I went to school during the exam season,
I listened to AKB songs while cycling on my way home.
It was just after school, so it was sunset.
When I listened to this song at that time,
it was like... how can I say...
It was like a landscape.
It was also very important for my feelings now.
Even in middle school, there was a small exam and a big exam.
So I didn't go to school as I thought.
And when I was in middle school,
the seats were decided by the ranking of the tests.
The last row is very high grades.
If you go to the front row, the score of the test is low.
But I was often in the front row.
When I was depressed or worried about what to do,
or when I was full of thoughts and didn't want to think about anything,
I listened to AKB songs on my way home.
I often listen to this song while cycling.
I think it's a song that touches the hearts of club members and people who do various jobs.
There are many lyrics about what day it was, "think about the way home," "sad things," "hard things," but
I think the lyrics that touch me and my thoughts are "family and friends," "family and friends," "family and friends," "I don't want to bother people around me," "forced smile,"
It's a really good song that comforts me and sticks with me, so if you're looking down now or if you know someone, you'll definitely listen to this song and it'll stick with you, so I hope you'll listen to it.
It's a good song, isn't it?
You did your best.
There were a lot of stories about school and topics about school, but you got 6 points for that.
That's right.
I went to school, so I got 6 points.
My classmates used my school's name and said, "Hashimoto is really a shame for that round school," and I listened to it on my way home that day.
Eri-chan, you're only depressed about studying.
Other than studying, what else?
Other than studying?
Of course there is, but it's quite...
I don't think I'm depressed and don't think too much about it.
Positive.
She's a positive year.
Positive for big things and negative for small things?
Positive for small things and negative for big things?
She's a negative year.
Positive for small things and positive for big things.
So, I don't think I'm depressed and don't think too much about it.
I see.
That's good.
When you're depressed, do you watch the sunset?
Yes, I watch the sunset...
Do you watch the sunset?
I watch the sunset and ride my bike.
I go home thinking I'll get a good grade.
That's good.
You're passionate.
That's good.
Lastly...
Last one.
Please.
I have a lot of life experience.
Life experience?
I have more life experience than you.
That's true.
The number of years you've lived.
I'm looking forward to it.
What?
You say you're looking forward to it every time.
Please, Saho.
This is a song I listen to when I'm depressed.
Ta-da! "Meaning of Life".
Life.
I think it's a song that comes to me when everyone is encouraging me and sticking with me.
This is a song in Team A's audience performance.
Where should I start?
For now, I want to be depressed more and more when I'm depressed.
I don't feel like listening to bright songs.
When I was depressed last year, I made a playlist.
This song was in it.
I thought about it a lot.
The words "doing what you want to do" in this song really touches me.
As everyone said, when you only have one life and time is limited, you want to be in an environment where you can do what you want to do.
That's what I've been thinking about.
When I was in high school, I was worried about whether I would enter AKB or not, and I was worried about whether I would be able to audition or not.
I made that decision because I couldn't do what I wanted to do.
That feeling and way of thinking is my motivation.
It's been 14 years since I joined AKB.
What I want to do in my life is always a question I ask myself.
When I'm worried about this song, I listen to it and think about whether I should do it or not.
If you have such worries, please listen to it.
There are various types of songs.
It's a little different story, but when I was released from depression, there was a song called "kusai mono ni wake".
I thought this song was a very stressful song.
I was very anxious about it.
I'm singing in a unit song in "Who Will You Fall In Love With" performance today.
When I was interpreting the lyrics, I often sang like a strong woman.
The more depressed you are and the more unpleasant things happen, the more fun this song will be.
Please listen to it too.
It's perfect.
This time too.
Great.
You're probably 30 years old now.
I'm 30 years old.
When you're 30 years old, you may not even think about the meaning of life.
I don't think it's just getting older.
But, you know...
Every year, the months go by faster.
Everyone says that.
Really.
"Eh, it's already New Year's?" "It's already Christmas?"
It's like, "Isn't that all there is?"
We're busy with so many activities.
But we say "Happy New Year" or "Happy New Year" at a handshake party.
It's like...
It's getting faster.
Even for us...
After joining AKB...
Eh, it's already New Year's?
What should we do?
When you're in your 30s...
It'll get faster, right?
Even our fans say that to us.
It's getting faster.
Really?
I'm really jealous of our fans.
They're older than me.
That's right.
They say that to me.
I have to cherish the present.
So, yes...
It's the meaning of life.
It's important.
The situation is completely different.
It's really different.
Is it heavy?
Really?
It's completely different from the songs I've heard before.
That's amazing!
You wrote it down perfectly!
For me...
Like Sofu-san said earlier...
You said that you're full of stress and full of bad smells...
But when I saw you standing in the park from now on...
I thought you were amazing today...
But something bad happened...
Oh no!
I'm going to be looked at like that from now on...
I think so too...
You're full of stress...
I'm full of stress today as well!
I want to do it quickly!
She wants to do it quickly!
I want to do it quickly!
Oh no! She might have caught it!
I haven't done it since I started work, so I want to do it!
I want to do it right now!
You have to do it quickly!
Really...
Everyone is different...
Like...
There are people who are close to you...
There are people who support you...
There are people who think of you as their life...
There are many types of people...
But when you're alive...
We're still in our 20s, 30s, and 10s...
She caught it!
That's a rare way of saying it!
It's a rare way of saying it!
But when you're alive...
When you're alive...
Even if it's a small thing...
Like feeling down...
There are times like that, right?
But in those times...
I think this song will be a support...
So, everyone...
When you're feeling down...
Please listen to this song!
Let's all...
Enjoy life and live on!
With that said...
AKB48 "I heard it a long time ago"
Let's support them!
Goodbye!
