AISubs v3.5
A.K.B48!
I'm sure scientists don't know
The reality that we can't see
Maybe it's somewhere
It doesn't matter if you don't try to find
The important things
Only what you can see
Is what you don't think is the truth
Everything I don't know
Is overflowing
Adults make serious faces and make mistakes
You look down and look up
That's why you should look for it
There's only things I don't know
You're making a serious face, you're making a mistake
It's impossible for you to know, you look like me
That's why you should look for me
In a place where I'm not there, with someone other than me
Good evening, everyone!
We are A.J.B. 48!
A.K.B. 48's 18th Anniversary Special Concert has begun!
Yeah!
The first song was "Under" with 22,000 votes and "Under" by Shittakaburi. Thank you!
Thank you!
Today marks the 18th anniversary of A.K.B. 48.
I'm so happy to be able to celebrate this wonderful day with you all.
We will do our best to make A.K.B. 48 even more exciting!
Thank you!
Now, Ayumi-chan, please.
Yes, we are now smiling behind Sae-chan's sparkling greeting, but
the 16th generation debuted at the 11th anniversary park seven years ago,
and Remi-tan and Hiyuka debuted in 2019.
Yes, that's right.
So you are not young anymore, are you?
Excuse me.
Excuse me, can I say one thing?
Sae-chan said that you are under 22 years old.
Nagatomo-san, what did you say?
What?
I became 23 years old last month.
What?
Thank you.
There is only one person who is over 22 years old.
Only one person is over 22 years old.
No, not yet.
Manaka is about 25 years old.
Really?
Wait, wait.
There are four days left, so she is still 19 years old.
I see.
She is 19 years old.
She is over 22 years old for now.
How about you, Remi?
Yes.
I and Hiuka were born in 2006.
She is 17 years old this year.
Wow!
She is younger than AKB48.
Wow!
That's right.
Really?
Really.
She is cute.
I am happy that AKB48, which is older than me, is active in such a big group.
She is happy.
She is still a high school student.
That's right.
High school student is nice.
She is young.
We joined AKB when we were 12 years old.
That's right.
What is it?
It is called "Kurumi Land Cell Show", isn't it?
That's right.
We joined AKB when we were elementary school students.
When young girls like us join AKB, we feel like old ladies.
No, you are not old.
Stop it.
You are still young.
Stop it, Manaka.
You are still young.
The target you love with all your heart is to choose loneliness.
Nobody is on your side. You have no choice but to suffer more and more.
You should have accepted it, but what is your heart shouting for?
You are already old enough to learn how to hide it.
You can forget it if you try to make sure it's a lie.
How much more should you have hurt me?
Even now, I can't change anything. While saying it's for you, I'm still young.
Meet your own self.
It's not weird.
I'll forget you if you're just in my memory.
Should I have hurt you?
Even now, I can't change anything.
I'm just putting on a disguise while saying it's for you.
I have no choice but to live.
Thank you for listening to "in any way" by universe girls!
Thank you!
It's such an honor for us to perform our first center song on such a memorable day like this.
What do you think, Hinana-san?
It's the best!
Thank you, everyone!
Except for Seri-chan, the rest of us are here to announce our graduation.
It's our last anniversary performance.
Yes, it is.
Do you have anything to say for us?
It's our last time celebrating our 18th anniversary like this.
We're standing here today with a lot of gratitude in our hearts.
Are there many members who are debuting today?
Yes!
There are 16 of you!
There are 13 of you!
Congratulations!
It's our 12th anniversary.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
It's amazing that we can celebrate our 12th anniversary like this.
It's amazing.
It's amazing, isn't it?
We're not going to quit right away.
That's right!
I hope we can continue to work hard together for our 19th anniversary.
Please continue to support us for our 19th anniversary!
Please do!
Thank you for celebrating our 18th anniversary.
Our 18th anniversary special...
Special anniversary performance!
Our 18th anniversary special performance will continue!
Please continue to support us!
The next song is this one.
Please enjoy!

Just close your eyes and slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly
Let's do, do, do the dance Do, do, do the dance
What should we do?
Yeah!
How did you like us performing "Do the Dance" with the students?
Thank you!
There are only 17 students on this stage now,
but this year, 18 students will join us,
and next year, 19 students will join us.
I think we still have a long way to go,
but what do you think you've improved in this year, Airi-chan?
Well, compared to last year,
the number of songs we performed at concerts increased,
so I think we all changed clothes and learned the choreography faster.
In one year.
Yeah!
What about you, Mizumi-chan?
Yes!
But what I've improved in this year is that
when I was asked what I thought about the stories we told on the show,
I think I'm able to answer them now.
That's true!
Before, everyone was like, "Um..."
But now, I'm able to talk freely like this,
and I think that's what I've improved in this year!
That's true!
How about you, Kokko-chan?
How about you?
Well, I still have a lot of things I need to improve,
but I think everyone learned the choreography better than last year,
and I know it's the same thing, but I think we learned to talk faster,
and we learned not to talk at all.
That's true!
I think we've improved a lot since last year.
Now that you're in your 19th year, what kind of senior do you want to be?
There are times when you can become a senior you admire even in your 17th year.
- Me? - Yes, you.
When a 19th grader joins us, we often hear "I admire you, Marumaru-chan."
- "Hashimoto Eriko," "Hashimoto Eriko," "Hashimoto Eriko." - Something like that.
- It's really popular.
- That's nice. - What about you, Yuki-chan?
I also want to be someone who can be admired by my juniors and seniors.
17th, 18th, and 19th grader researchers.
I hope we can make AKB more popular in the future.
- Yuki-chan, you're already called a senior you admire. - Not at all.
- What about you, Non-chan? You're the youngest, right? - That's right.
In my case, my juniors who are older than me join us.
When Yuki-chan joined us, I didn't know what to do.
- But now I know what I should do. - That's fast.
- That's right.
I hope we can talk a lot and have a lot of communication.
When a 19th grader or someone younger joins us, we want them to bring us food.
- That's fast! - We want them to choose our clothes.
- That's fast. - I said it in front of everyone.
It's a big promise.
When a 19th grader joins us, Eri-chan will treat us to a meal.
- I hope everyone who joins us enjoys it. - I'm looking forward to it.
Everyone, please remember this.
So you can do whatever you want.
We will continue AKB48's 18th anniversary performance.
The next song is this one! Here we go!
Bad Boy
I was born a little late, but what can I say about that?
I don't know anything about myself, but I was young back then.
I don't know anything about common sense.
Should I live my own life with a noble attitude?
No matter what my goal is,
I don't have the ability to do that.
Seriously, you're such a pain in the ass!
Can you just disappear already?
East, east, west, west,
where should I aim for?
I don't want to change this place forever,
I don't want to become an adult.
Courage is sinking into that world.
Just thinking about it makes me nervous!
Can't I just stay here like this?
To the east, to the west, to the north and to the south
Let me give you a warm welcome
Like a good girl, like a bad girl
it doesn't move
Da da, da da, da da, seriously out of order
Da da, da da, da da, don't get me wrong
Da da, da da, da da, you're the worst
Da da…
Thank you for listening to "All Out Rebellion" at Girls' Drive!
Thank you!
We appeared in the movie, but did you watch it at Girls' Drive?
Did you watch it?
About half of you watched it.
I'm happy.
Thank you very much.
This time, you went all over the country for the stage greeting. Do you have any memories of it?
The first time I went to Shizuoka was for "Saint Moon".
Yes, yes, yes.
"Advanced Society".
Yes, yes, yes.
I ate churros, and it was really long.
Food from a movie theater.
That's right.
The churros were really long and delicious.
Apparently, that churros sold number one in Shizuoka's "Saint Moon" market.
Wow!
When we posted on social media that we ate churros, it sold number one in the "Saint Moon" market.
Yay!
That's amazing.
I'm glad.
That's amazing.
Churros sold like crazy.
I'm happy.
That's good news.
It was delicious.
You ate a lot of popcorn, didn't you, Sorano?
Yes, I did.
I did, too.
You ate it all the time, didn't you?
I was full of popcorn.
But it had a lot of flavors, so you couldn't stop eating it.
You ate it in a lot of movie theaters, didn't you?
Yes, I did.
That's amazing.
We haven't talked about movies at all, but do you have anything like "Zookey"?
We went there together before.
Sorano and I went to Shizuoka again.
You know the famous hamburger restaurant in Shizuoka?
Yes, I do.
We were talking about going there and eating hamburgers.
But we ended up going for sushi.
What?
We went there.
What a waste!
That's right.
We wanted to go there, but we couldn't eat it.
We couldn't eat it.
We didn't have enough time.
That's right.
I see.
We couldn't go there.
It's a shame.
We only talked about food again.
That's right.
But we spent a lot of time with these five people from the shooting of "GIRLS' LIFE".
We got along with them a lot.
We might be able to do something with "GIRLS' LIFE" again, so please look forward to it and wait for us!
Yes!
Now that we're ready for the next song, we'd like to move on to the next song!
Here it is!
Here you go!
♪ BGM
In the streets of school days...
It's stuck in my chest
The wind passes through my heart
Even that apartment won't be destroyed
The long western sun is shining
While walking down the narrow alley
A page of my youth has been replaced
do you remember me
We always passed each other on the station platform
Although I wished many times
Is it all just my imagination?
Every time I peek into my memories
The sad uniform that made me smile
The long hair I always had
In reality, everyone is their own
There is a path I once walked
Try changing the mirror with your eyes
What I lost may have fallen
Kimi ga boku wo wasureteitemo
Kagayaiteita hibi wa tashikami atta
Kimi wa boku wo oboeteru kana
We always passed each other in the back of Iki no
Although I wished many times
Should I pray for everything?
Every time I peek into my memories
It echoes in the back of the ghost who smiled at me.
The wishing god who was always in Nara
You asked me "Do you remember me?" in the second campus.
Thank you very much.
Well, Na-min, how do you feel about singing today?
Well, this is the third time to sing a recent couple song, isn't it?
On the day of release and on the day of Budokan and today.
And I think it's been hard to perform it three times recently.
Moreover, I was very happy to be able to perform such a good song with these members on this important day for Konekibi, the anniversary performance.
How about you, Sake?
Yes, I think you remember the lyrics of this song and the title of this song.
It's not only me but also Na-min and Maki-chan who are holding back their graduation.
When you listen to this song, I hope you remember us and sing it now.
Well, I'm not wearing a gray uniform or long hair.
Certainly.
But this song has a lot of memories, so I hope you remember the performance you just saw and the Budokan.
And I hope you listen to this song with a lot of feelings.
I'd like to ask you, Mobi.
Well, I love this song, too.
However, we, the members you just showed us, are on the second campus.
What does "second campus" mean?
"First Campus" is a song called "Omoide My Friend".
There is a sequel to that song?
Yes, it came out 3 years ago.
I see. I want to find out more about it before I graduate.
I'm glad we were able to figure it out at this timing.
Some of you may know it by now.
Please listen to it.
So far, we have sung a coupling song for our 62nd single.
Here is the last song.
Here we go!
Let's go!
(The power to change the future)
I'm not an idol!
Even if it's abandoned, if you have a little more courage, you can get off the stage and become a man.
I want to fall in love with you until I burn up, but...
...no one will love me.
I got 5 million views in 18 weeks!
If I wasn't an idol, would I be able to tell you that I love you?
Thank you!
Thank you for listening to "idol nanka janakattara"!
Thank you!
I'm 62nd single "idol nanka janakattara".
It's been about 6 years since I worked as a center member.
I don't know what I could do as a center member,
but I was able to work as a center member myself,
and I had more time to think about the group and my love for the group grew.
So I was able to learn as an idol again as a center member.
I hope you will listen to "idol nanka janakattara" a lot from now on as well!
Once again, thank you for supporting me in my 19th year!
Thank you!
Well, then...
Hello!
Well, except for me and Maho-pyon...
Goodbye, everyone.
Well, let's get started!
"AKB48 AWARD - Member of the Year"!
Well...
I don't know when it's going to end.
It's pretty long.
Well, then...
I'll be your general moderator.
I'm Manaka Taguchi...
And I'm Maho Oomori!
Thank you for having us!
Wow, that's amazing.
It's amazing, isn't it?
Thank you for having us.
Well, then...
"AKB48 AWARD - Member of the Year" will be held again this year, following last year.
Yeah!
Well, then...
I heard you're angry for some reason.
What's wrong with you, Manaka-san?
Um...
Can I say something?
Sure.
Um...
The category is too biased!
Yeah!
Me and Maho-pyon...
Yeah!
No matter how much variety we try...
That's right!
The fact that we're here means...
Um...
We haven't been chosen for anything!
That's weird, isn't it?
But we did our best, too!
We were on fire this year!
That's right!
No matter how many bullets we threw...
We did our best!
Well, well...
We know that there are wonderful members who will be nominated.
There are a lot of them in AKB48.
Yes, so...
Today, we, Manaka-san and I, will be the nominators.
Thank you for watching until the end!
Now, I will announce the first award, "Best Rookie Award".
The 18th grade researchers who made their debut this year will be the nominators.
First of all, please watch the performance of the 18th grade researchers.
On the usual road, on the usual road, I ride my bicycle, I ride my bicycle.
I see a single sweat, September's gentle breeze.
Good night love, good night love, I love you, I love you.
I've been interested in you.
Even now, I want to see you, see you.
Maybe, maybe, I might like you.
There aren't any clouds in the blue sky right now.
Maybe, maybe, I might like you.
I love you and I miss you.
So, congratulations on being nominated!
Thank you!
Speaking of 18th generation,
Arai-chan did the 62nd coupling center in her current single,
and Yagi-chan did the solo in the Budokan concert.
I think you all were really active for the first year in a row.
How did you feel, Maho-pyon?
I can't believe we've been doing things like this for a year.
It's unbelievable!
We can't believe it's our first year.
I can't believe it!
We didn't know which way to go for our first year.
We could only go forward.
It's really amazing!
It's wonderful!
So, let me announce the best award.
AKB48 AWARD MEMBER OF THE YEAR BEST ROOKIE BEST AWARD is...
Yagi Azuki-chan!
Yagi-chan, please go to the center.
Yagi-chan, as a trophy and award, you will receive a high quality fresh juice.
How do you feel right now?
Well, I'm surprised.
It's my first year, and I won the Best Rookie Award.
I'm very happy.
I will continue to work hard as a member of AKB48 AWARD MEMBER OF THE YEAR.
Wonderful and reliable.
Congratulations!
AKB48 AWARD MEMBER OF THE YEAR BEST ROOKIE BEST AWARD MEMBER OF THE YEAR BEST AWARD MEMBER OF THE YEAR
You have something to say, don't you?
Yes, I do. I'd like to introduce some of the reasons why I chose this award.
First of all, Mukaichi Mion-san.
She was overwhelmed by the strength of luck and unexpected performance ability at the first shot in the lottery unit of Budokan.
Next, Murayama Yuri-san.
She had a lot of skills that you wouldn't think she was a canoeist, and it left a great impression on me.
Congratulations!
I'm so happy! Thank you!
In addition, there were a lot of comments from the members praising your solo performance at the Budokan concert.
Finally, would you like to say a few words to your future fans of Mokuya?
Yes, I will do my best to make you smile a lot and give you overwhelming performances, so please continue to support me!
Thank you very much!
Now, I'd like to move on to the next category.

[Music]
The battle of the wind never ends until it's moved.
I want to see you again, I pray.
If it's okay with you, I'll rush over right away to make that promise.
I don't like you at all.
I wonder if happiness is here.
We loved each other so much.
Just by looking at each other,
Even though we're so close to each other.
It's been a while since I've worn a ripple cross, it shines brighter than it did that day (mikashiburi no rippu kurosu ano hi yori kagayaite iru yo) rippu kurosu ano hi yori kagayaite iru yo)
I wonder if it's happiness (shiawase te koto darou)
We loved each other so much, just by looking at each other (annari mo suki datta bokutachi wa mitsumeau dake de)
Our lips are getting closer and closer (kuchibiru wa konna ni mo shikazuite aru no ni)
I want a new ripple cross next time (atatashii ripple cross tsumi mo ai ga tokushii yo)
I will never forget (boku wa zutto wasurenai)
Your lips that shine forever (towa ni kagayaku kuchibiru o)

SHOOT THE NIGHT
But tonight is the last
I don't know what to do
I pretend like I don't care and get as close as I can to you
How does it feel?
I don't know!
Congratulations on being nominated!
Everyone, please go and get your mics.
Thank you!
The dance looks difficult.
It was really difficult!
It was crazy!
Wait a minute!
It was crazy!
It was the most difficult dance practice I've ever seen!
It was really good!
Everyone was perfect!
First of all, I'd like to announce the reasons why we were chosen.
First of all, from last year's Best Dresser Award, Okabe Rin-san.
It was Murayama Yui-ri-san who voted for me.
She's always been up to date with fashion.
She used to wear a jacket with a cleaning cloth on it and said, "I forgot to take it off."
And I was told, "That's the design."
I thought I wasn't good at fashion.
But she forgave me because she's my senior.
That's dangerous!
And Yui-ri-san voted for Miu Shitao-san.
She's always so cute and she's even careful in her lessons.
Her short, perfect T-shirt and oversized pants really suit her.
It makes me happier when I'm praised for the same reason.
I'm happy because you always praise me.
Thank you!
And next, from Taniguchi Megu-san...
Hirata Yuki-chan, one of the nominees, voted for you.
Not only your clothes, but you always look stylish in your lessons.
Thank you!
Thank you! I'll back down!
I see, if you choose a senior, you have that kind of privilege.
That's nice.
You learned it.
Not at all! Not at all!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
And for Seina-san, Saito Haruna-chan is voting for you.
Not only for events like handshake events, but also for lessons,
I think it's cool for you to wear colorful clothes.
I'd like to wear high-cut clothes again.
Next is Honda Hitomi from Kurano Narumi.
I always wear clothes that I'm conscious of.
Next is Miyon from Muto Orin-chan.
Her clothes are cute, but she's always cute in lessons, and I want her to back down.
It's annoying to bring it, so please come and pick it up at home.
Next is Momoka Onishi from Hirate Yuki-chan.
I'm still Yuki-chan from last year.
I want Yuki-chan's bath.
I want to give you a present.
Is it okay?
I'll write it like that from now on.
Next is Sakoi Mimi from Mahonmyon.
I was fashionable.
I had long arms and legs, so I was emphasized as fashionable.
I like this style.
It's wonderful.
Then I will announce it.
I will announce it.
The Best Dresser Award is...
Hirata Yuki-chan!
Yuki-chan, please go to the center.
Yuki-chan, as a trophy and award,
not only your clothes but also your body will look stylish,
so we'll give you a Kojima Haruna-san produced "harip 2" beauty set as a gift!
Wow! Thank you very much!
So, how do you feel about being chosen?
At this year's anniversary concert,
I was nominated for several awards,
but this is the award I wanted the most,
so I'm very happy! Thank you very much!
I'll continue to put effort into my fashion and work hard!
Amazing!
By the way, Yuki-chan, you often buy "harip 2" as a shopping item.
I love it! I'm happy!
It's such a wonderful beauty set!
Amazing! I'm glad!
I'll treasure it!
Thank you very much!
There were several votes from the members for Yuki-chan,

You're always stylish, and the clothes you see on Instagram also look good on you and are cute!
I'm happy!
And next, Chiba Erii-chan!
When I'm troubled about clothes, I look at Yuki- chan's Instagram (secretly laughing)!
Wow!
It's the first time I've heard of it!
I'm happy!
Our seniors will use it as a reference!
And those two are also amazing!
Right? They're fashionable!
It's no exaggeration to say that they're fashionable leaders!
No doubt about it!
Amazing!
Lastly, from Sako Yumemi, who was also one of the nominated members earlier!
Oh, Sako Yumemi!
You're always so stylish, and when I look at you, my eyes are locked in!
Wow!

You're amazing!
I wanted to be like you!

Wow!
Swamp!

Not two, but two years in a row!
That's right!
Amazing!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
How do you feel now?
Well, I'm graduating in February, but I love spending time with the members like this.
I'm so happy that we've become so close that we can choose the Best Support Award like this.
I'm a little sad that we won't be able to support you anymore in the future, but please do your best in the future!
We'll be there for you!
We might be chosen next!
That's right!
I was the captain of this year, so I thought I'd be chosen!
Please don't choose me!
She don't mind!
I think it's proof of how much you've supported everyone.
That's right!
And by the way, Hidana-san!
The number of theater performances in this year is 81 and you're among the top members!
Wow!
Amazing!
You've stepped up to 81 times!
Amazing!
Not only the members, but also the theater was able to support you.

She's really down-to-earth!
She's cute, but she's really down-to-earth!
She has a low voice and speaks quietly.
She's doing it secretly.

I'm glad I posted it every day!
I was saved by Remi's words! Thank you, Remi!
Congratulations!
Next!
For Yamane Suzuha-chan, from Chiba Erii-chan, the nominate member,
If you say it's AKB's social media, it's definitely 'zoon'!
When I edit it, I look at it from the side, but there's a way to edit it like this!
I think it's really amazing that she knows how to do it in such a surprising way!
It should be found more!
I'm happy! Thank you! Good touch!
Thank you for your always cute social media! Thank you!
Next, voting for Hirateki-chan,
the nominate member, "zoon-chan"!
All of her posts are so cute, and every time she updates them, I can't help but stare at her because she's so cute!
As an influencer for AKB, I stand in front of her and want her to get a lot of buzz!

but I'm always happy because you watch it a lot!
I'm waiting for a new one!
There's a new one? That's funny!
Yes! With that, I will announce it!
The Best Social Media Award goes to...
[The Best Social Media Award goes to...]
Yamane Suza-chan!
Congratulations!
Zun-chan, please go to the center.
Thank you!
I'm so happy!
I sang so much solo...
I wasn't the best, what should I do?
That's right, you sang so much solo...
I'm so happy!
So, for Zun-chan, as a trophy and reward...
Please take lots of photos and videos that will go viral!
So, we'll award you with a travel license!
Wow! Thank you!
So, Zun-chan...
How do you feel now?
Yes, since last year, it's been two wins in a row...
Two wins in a row!
Yes, it's been two wins in a row...
But, rather than a very elaborate image of me...
It's more like... how do you say it...
It's more like a picture I forgot to put on my sleeve...
That's true!
Yes, it's more like a video of me taking a kamebushi and making it fall...
It's more like a video that goes viral...
It's almost nine times more likes than my usual photos...
Wow!
It's a bit of a strange feeling...
But, I'm very happy to receive it again this year!
I'll do my best to spread AKB48!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
I'll tell you why I voted for you.
First of all, Honda Hitomi!
Even when you're not on a music show,
you always make sure to tell us when you'll be on and what you'll be doing.
I think it's hard not to do that.
And I heard you're really good at taking cute photos.
It's my secret dream to have you take photos of me before I graduate!
And one more thing!
Murayama Yuiri!
You're not only self-taught, but you also teach others,
and you're particular about how you process and promote your work,
and you set up a timer when you can't send emails at work,
and you want to deliver your message to your fans.
I think it's really nice of you!
Thank you! I'm so happy!
That's amazing!
I feel like I can work hard for another two or three years!
Thank you!
I hope you'll continue to work hard as a social media influencer!
I'll do my best! Thank you!
Congratulations!
Thank you, Zun-chan!
Thank you!
So far, we've announced five shows based on votes among the members.
But before the MVPs, we'd like to announce MVPs related to this year!
Here it is!
We might be here.
That's right! We're here!
Yes, yes!
We'd like to be here in person.
We've selected the members who were the brightest this year for those involved in AKB48's work.
The target audience will be all members who currently belong to AKB48 on December 8th!
Yes, we're also the target audience!
Yes, we're the target audience!
Here it is!
I'll announce it now!
The MVPs are...
Muremuri-san!
Yes, it's Yui-san!
Yui-san!
Please, please!
Thank you!
As expected of you!
I'm sorry about that!
No, no, no!
I'm sorry!
Well, well, well!
Let's talk about it!
I'm sorry!
Oh, by the way!
Yui-san has been given a luxurious meal voucher as a trophy and a reward!
I was shocked that I wasn't chosen, and I forgot to bring it!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Here, the meal voucher!
Yay!
Thank you!
Yui-san, thank you for being here today!
Thank you!
Please tell us why you chose Maho-pyon as your MVP.
First of all, no matter how tired you are in the theater, I think it's wonderful that you don't let go of your hands when you stand on the stage.
Next, I think Maho-pyon is the only member who supports the group from behind.
I was moved by your silence at the final concert of Team Four with Kuranou-san.
That's wonderful.
In addition, not only your singing ability is number one in the final round, but also your silence at the final concert of Team Four has evolved a lot in terms of singing.
Of course, your performance should be evaluated more and more in terms of singing ability!
Thank you very much. That's kind of you.
And finally, during the break of the event, you taught your juniors the choreography and practiced the choreography with the members.
I heard a lot of praise for you. How about you, Yuri-san?
I really didn't think I would be chosen.
The members chose me as the best supporter.
I'm very happy with the opinions of people who are usually not public.
I will do my best in my 13th year as well. Thank you!
By the way, congratulations to Yuri-san for now.
For me and Maho-pyo, we will also receive one vote from the staff of Hado.
Yay! Thank you!
We are working hard.
I thought you were a low ranker.
No, no, it's fine.
Please, please.
Next year, we will work hard so that we can get instructions from you, Yui-san.
Now, it's time for the MVP award announcement.
The members who were the brightest this year will be decided.
The nominees are Oguri Yui-san, Kashiwagi Yuki- san, Kurano Narumi-san, Honda Hitomi-san, Mukaichi Mion-san, Sato Kiara-chan...
Huh? I made a mistake.
...Airi-san.
Wow! I made a huge mistake! I'm sorry!
It's Airi-san.
Yes! Sato Airi-chan! Mizushima Miyu-chan!
I thought you were a junior, Kii-chan.
You're getting along with Kii-chan now, aren't you?
Yes.
I'm Airi-chan.
Now, let's watch the performance by the nominees for MVP award.
Thank you for watching and please don't forget to like and subscribe!
Congratulations on being nominated!
Thank you!
It was a performance worthy of the name "MVP".
It was amazing.
Thank you for cheering us up with your voices.
Thank you.
I'd like to announce the reasons why we were chosen.
First of all, Yui Oguri voted for Sae Arai.
I'm so happy!
She's really stoic and doesn't say anything negative all the time.
She's the one who keeps us going.
I'm so happy for you, Sae-chan!
It's true that...
It's true.
It's true that she has a habit of turning negative words into positive ones.
I'm happy you noticed that.
Thank you, Sae-chan!
Thank you.
Next, Yuki-rin voted for Yuki Ohta-chan.
The song requester for the theater performance song that was announced the next day...
I felt the fans' solidarity and Yuki-san's presence.
When I heard Yoka-zoo's performance in front of me...
I felt again that there is no one more wonderful than you.
I'll buy you some money!
Thank you!
I'm so happy!
Next, Naomi Shitaomi voted for Naomi Kurano.
She was chosen for a new unit...
because it's been a year of drama and acting in movies!
That's right.
I'm happy that I was able to participate in "UNDAME," "SURREAL," and "GIRLS' DRIVE."
I'm happy about it.
Thank you!
Next, Hii-san voted for Yukari Sasaki.
She has work outside and is busy.
Even if she can't participate in concert lessons and so on...
she does her best to make money.
Thank you!
It's rare for seniors to say such things, and I'm very happy about it. Thank you!
Next, Chiba Erii voted for Mukaichi Mion!
Thank you!
She came up with a setlist of martial arts with Yukirin, and I put it out for the "Majisuka" project,
and the moment I saw it, I was excited!
It was very suitable for each and every role chosen by Mion, and it was very popular with fans, and it was a lot of fun!
I'm happy!
Erii's Shibuya-san also looked great in it!
Thank you!
Next, we received last year's MVP.
Yagi Azuki-chan voted for Airi-chan!
Thank you!
I'm sure she's putting in a lot of effort as a candidate, and it's all thanks to her leading all of the students!
I'm happy! Thank you!
Last year we received the Best Rookie Award, and Yagi Azuki-chan also won the Best Rookie Award this year,
and I'm very happy about it!
And Sato Kiara-chan was mistaken...
Oh no! I heard you!
Are you serious?!
Yes, I was crying...
I'm sorry! Really!
I'm sorry...
Let me apologize!
No, no, no! Thank you!
Next, Mizushima Miyu-chan was voted for by Murayama Yuri-san!
Miyu-chan went to various team performances at the theater performance festival, and she found her strength!
Seeing her say that, I chose her as my MVP because I'm looking forward to standing on stage with students who value their roots more than anyone else!
And with that, I'm happy! Thank you!
I was very happy to hear Yuiri-san say that! Thank you!
Congratulations!
Now, I will announce it!
AKB48 AWARD MEMBER OF THE YEAR!
The best MVP award chosen by the members in 2023 is...
[music]
As a trophy and reward for you,
we'll grant you a luxurious product right.
I'm so happy!
I'm so happy! Thank you!
It has my name on it!
How do you feel now?
I can't believe it!
All of you who have been chosen for the MVP,
you've been working hard in many fields.
What can I say?
I really thought you'd win this award.
To be honest, I wasn't confident.
But you chose me like this.
I'm sure you're dancing like you're not an idol in Budokan.
When I think about what you said in Budokan,
I'm happy that you were able to move me.
I'm so happy that you voted for me.
Thank you so much!
I'm so happy!
Yui Yui-san is really cool.
The way you look at the Budokan concert is well received by many members.
Can you give me the paper with my name on it?
Yes, of course!
Can I have it? I'm so happy!
Thank you so much!
Yui Yui-san will continue to lead Budokan for 19 years.
I'll go to bed now.
Please don't hit your head with it.
It's quite heavy.
Congratulations to all the nominees and Yui Yui- san!
This has been AKB48 AWARD "Member of the Year"!
Yay!
Thank you for your hard work, Manaka and Maho- pyon!
Thank you!
Finally, I'd like to stand on the stage with all the members of "Member of the Year"!
Yes.
Can you see me?
Yes.
So, all the members of "Member of the Year" are here today!
Once again, I'm very happy to be able to celebrate this 18th anniversary with all of you, the fans and the members and the staff.
Once again, thank you all for everything!
Thank you!
Yes, well, this performance is coming to an end, but looking back at this year,
I think it was a year of team quits, a lot of friends graduating, and I think it was a year that made the fans feel lonely and sad.
Changing is a very scary thing.
But I think AKB is a group that has overcome various walls together over the past 18 years,
and I think all the members who have set out have taken a step forward for their own future.
So like everyone else, I think we need to work harder and harder so that we can change this change with our own hands.
It's been 19 years and we're already in our 20th anniversary, and I think it's really rare for a group to last this long.
And it's thanks to the fans' daily support and the members' efforts and the staff's support that we're able to start our 19th anniversary again.
So I hope we can work together and work even harder so that we can be a group that you can enjoy and cheer for more and more.
Thank you for your support for AKB48 in our 19th anniversary as well!
Thank you!
Finally, I would like to sing a song that AKB48 has cherished for 18 years.
This is the last song. Please listen to it. "Sakura no Hanabira Tachi".
Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Wow!
Huh?
What?
All of a sudden?
What?
Was there such a pattern?
Was there?
Wow!
Something came out.
It's been a while since someone came out.
I even said the name of the song.
What?
Huh?
What does it mean?
"Sakura no Hanabira Tachi".
Number sixteen, Yuki Kashiagi.
Thank you.
[Cherry Blossom Ending]
There's a lot of things, but let's start with the first one to be chosen.
First of all, AKB48's 63rd new single will be released on March 13th!
Here you go! The first ones to be chosen! Thank you!
Congratulations!
Is it four of you?
Yes, yes, yes.
So...
Can you talk?
Then let's talk to the four of you.
First of all, Yagi-chan, how do you feel about being chosen for the first time?
Yes, I'm very happy to have been chosen for the first time as a single member of Kajiwagi-san and Yuki-san's precious graduation.
It's been my dream...
Oh, no...
It's okay.
It was my goal to appear on a singing show behind Kajiwagi-san,
and I felt like I couldn't do it anymore, but I was chosen like this,
so in the end, I'd like to look at Yagi-san's back and do my best to liven up AKB! Thank you!
Congratulations!
I'm so happy! It's the first time we've all been selected for the final round, and it's also the first time I've heard of it, so I'm really happy!
Next up is Mizumin.
Yes!
How does it feel to be selected for the first time?
Well, first of all, I've always loved and admired Yuki- san before joining AKB.
You don't have to talk about me like that!
I'm really happy that I was chosen as one of the selected members for my graduation single, which I've always dreamed of and aimed for.
And I've always been told by my fans, "Let's get in there!"
And I'm really happy that I was finally able to make such a happy announcement like this.
I don't think it's natural for me to be selected like this, and I think it's a place that everyone longs for,
and I'm sure that I'm responsible for choosing me as one of the selected members.
I want to do activities that will make many people think, "I'm glad I was chosen," or "I'm glad I was Mizushima Miyu."
Thank you!
You did your best. I'm glad you went to the theater and everything.
And Akiyama-chan, you're 18 years old now. How do you feel about being selected?
I've always had a big goal in mind when I was selected.
And I've been working hard to achieve that goal.
I didn't think it would come true so soon.
I'm so happy and full of emotions that you chose me for your 63rd Kashiwagi-san's important single.
I think there are still many people who don't know about my 18th birthday.
I'll do my best so that more and more people will know about me and AKB will be excited.
I'll do my best to make you think I'm really happy to be chasing you.
Let's do our best together!
And Ayami!
I'm 16-year-old Ayami Nagato.
It's been 7 years since I debuted today.
There have been a lot of hard and frustrating things in the past 7 years.
But I did my best because I had motivation.
And most of all, I had fans who have been waiting for me.
I will do my best with the members for my beloved akb court.
And I hope Yukirin's last single song will be a wonderful song and I hope I can help you with that.
Thank you very much.
It's your first time being selected, right? There were four of you this time, but you'll be selected again and you'll be able to work together...
Manaka! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!
Congratulations! Thank you!
No, no, no...
How do you feel?
Um... I feel like I've only been selling goods all day and I'm really sorry!
Really!
But I feel like I've received an award for doing my best as an MC today...
Um, it's really like... I don't have any ambition or anything like that, but...
Um... That's right...
Um... Well, I hope I can be the second Yukirin...
Oh, that's nice!
Yes! The second Yukirin!
After graduating Yukirin, I hope I can aim for the Yukirin rank and do my best as a selection rookie!
Thank you very much!
As you saw in the video, I was able to enter AKB for 17 years, and I was able to fulfill my dream of becoming a single center, which I haven't been able to fulfill yet.
I'm so happy that I can't even thank you enough.
To be honest, I was really worried about graduating and being able to be the center of a new song.
But when I think about the faces of many fans who have supported me for the longest time for 17 years, I want everyone to smile more and more in the end.
There have been various difficulties and hardships over the past 17 years, but if you keep working hard and having fun for a long time, good things like this will happen.
There are times when I wish I could tell you a little more, and there are times when I could say that it is a reward for myself for working hard for 17 years in the end, but I would like to pull everyone's last single and make a good work with everyone at the end.
Once again, please look forward to AKB's 63rd single! Thank you!
And this 63rd single will be released on March 13th, but the official shop version will be available as soon as possible from 20 o'clock!
I may not be able to decide my plans for next year, but I would like to talk with you again and have a chance to shake hands with you again.
So please check out the official AKB court website from 20 o'clock!
Once again, thank you in advance!
Thank you in advance!
Well then, shall we listen to the last song?
Once again, for all of us members,
we are really happy and feel the same way as all of us that we can finally see Yukirin-san's own center for the last time!
For 17 years, and especially for the past few years,
Yukirin-san has dared to push her juniors forward and forward since she became what she is now,
and she has been thinking about various things so that many people will know about us,
and we can only thank you for that,
so for the last time, we would like to do our best so that we can support Yukirin-san's shining figure in the center!
Yes.
With that said, there are many things we are looking forward to,
and there are members who think of it as a happy announcement,
and of course there are members who are feeling regretful at this moment,
but if Yukirin-san continues to have fun and do her best,
I think everyone will know that there is definitely something good if you look at Yukirin- san's back,
and there are many mountains and valleys in front of you,
but I hope you will continue to work hard with AKB48 while supporting each other!
Yes, it's a little like what I said earlier,
but this is really the last song!
Please listen! "Cherry Blossom Petals"!
At the classroom's window is a warm sunset, and a little bit of spring calendar left.
If you leave it to me during class, you'll wear the same uniform.
Friends look like adults.
We're going on a journey to each of our futures, aren't we?
The wings of dreams are growing on your back.
When the flowers in the sky bloom,
the bell of hope will sound somewhere.
Give us the courage and freedom of tomorrow.
Just as beautiful as those memories are,
they're right in front of me.
(applause)
Once again, thank you for coming today.
Thank you very much!
After this, all the members of the cast will see you off.
Please wait in your seat until instructions from the person in charge are given.
And in commemoration of the 18th anniversary,
I would like to give each of you a 10-day free viewing rights to vr square's akb48 plus channel!
Yay!
I'll hand it over at the exit, so if you haven't subscribed yet or haven't seen it yet, please give it a try!
And I took a group photo with all of the cast members before the show!
It is also sold in the lobby, so please get it and go home in commemoration of today!
So, is it okay?
Yes! Let's say our last greetings!
Good!
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for watching our video!
18.
Let's go.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you.
Your hat.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Excuse me.
Bye-bye.
Thank you.
OK. Thank you.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Thank you for the AKB48 18th anniversary special commemorative performance!
Yes, today, after revealing the coupling of this new song, there is also an announcement of the award of AKB48 members of "the year".
And finally, there was an announcement of the 63rd new single, but again, welcome to the center!
I'm so happy!
Happy!
Thank you very much!
I'll do my best in the center!
So, this is the last anniversary concert of Atamoto, so about...
This is the 18th week.
I've been spending this day in the theater for about 17 years, so I thought it was the last one, and it was quite thoughtful.
It's amazing...
But in the end, I'm glad we were able to have such a fun concert with these members.
Thank you very much!
We're so happy, aren't we?
Yes, we are!
And there was also an announcement of the selection of members, and Miyazuki-chan, who also won Best Rookie Award, congratulated us on our selection!
Thank you!
How do you feel right now?
I was so happy to be able to welcome such wonderful songs and songs of my favorite fans at my favorite AKB48 theater like this!
Now that we've become selection members, we hope you'll continue to watch our performances and send us lots of smiles, so please support us!
That's right!
Are you sure about that?
I'm sure about it!
Are you sure about that?
I'm sure about it!
But the members here have won first place in each show, and they're wonderful!
We're all fans of you!
Yay!
You're envious, aren't you, Kirin-san and Roki?
I'm really envious!
Does that mean you can't have me anymore?
You're so cute!
Thank you for your hard work.
You're making me quit already!
Anyway, congratulations.
Let's make it together.
Hinana's making me hold it!
Let's support each other!
Thank you!
Let's support each other!
Thank you!
I hope each member will shine in their respective genres, and I hope we can continue to work hard as AKB48 for the next year!
And we'll continue to cherish this theater, so please continue to support AKB48!
Please support us!
Thank you!
