A.K.B48!
A.K.B48 Theater, Great New Year's Park! "Forgetting the Year" Idol Song 2023!
Yes, we started with the opening that reminds you of the Showa era!
"Forgetting the Year" Idol Song 2023!
I'm Manaka Takechi of the general board and...
I'm Eriko Ishimoto! Thank you for having us!
So, how do you like it, Eri-chan? Even though you're in the general board...
It's my first time being an MC in a place like this, so my adrenaline level is really high right now!
Oh, I see!
But even from the opening, I'm really grateful for all of you 18-kichers dancing so hard!
Thank you!
So, for today...
I'm sure you've all been curious about what we're doing on New Year's Day!
What we're doing is...
We're running a karaoke competition!
We're borrowing karaoke equipment "Joy Sound Max Go" from our company, X-ing...
And we're running a karaoke competition!
Kashiwa Yuki-san will be the captain of the giraffe team...
And Murayama Yui-san will be the captain of the apple team...
And we'll be running a competition between the two teams!
So, without further ado...
First, we'll have the giraffe team members come up on stage!
Here we go!
Is there such a quiet entrance hall?
There isn't, right?
Has everyone come up?
Yes, we have.
As you can see, the giraffe team has 23 members!
Thank you for having us!
We'll do our best!
Now, Yukirin-san.
Yes!
It's a team of members who don't have any connections or connections at all.
That's right.
How is it?
Well, it's a karaoke experience.
Right now, this outfit doesn't really go with the song.
Orin-chan is obviously singing something by herself.
Also, for those of you who are divided into numbers and colors,
this year, you're risking your life for this.
Is that so?
It seems like you're doing a lot of work.
I see.
We'll do our best.
We look forward to working with you.
Now, Yukirin-san.
Yes!
Can you do your usual shout?
My usual shout?!
What?!
Eri-chan said my usual shout?!
Okay!
Let's do it!
One, two!
Always!
Thank you!
Calmly!
Politely!
Precisely!
I hope everyone's dreams come true!
Giraffe!
Team!
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
Let's do our best!
Standby, please!
Yes!
Thank you!
Even though it's Team B, it's Team Giraffe.
It's the opposite.
Team is the main one.
Yes.
Now, we'll have Team Apple appear.
Please!
Yes, Team Apple has 23 members as you can see!
Thank you!
Now, Ms. Yuiri, how do you feel about Team Apple?
Well, we have no choice but to win.
Do you have anyone you're looking forward to?
Oh, of course!
When it comes to cheering, you can't do it without a microphone.
Right, Hinana?
Thank you.
Thank you!
Yes, we're full of spirit.
By the way, Team Kirin has a lot of strong opponents as well.
Really? We're pretty strong as well, aren't we?
I think we can do it if we're optimistic.
So, are you sure you're determined to win today?
Yes, we are.
We'll win and do our best to close out the year.
Yes, we hope you do.
Now, Ms. Yuiri, would you like to say something that will cheer you up?
Oh, that's a good idea.
Let's do it like we always do.
Team Apple! Team Apple! Team Apple!
Let's go!
Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
Everyone, please stand by.
Thank you.
I've never heard you say "like we always do".
It's my first time doing it.
It's my first time.
It's really lame.
What do you mean by "Team Apple"?
That's how it started.
I think there will be songs that you can guess even if it's just one song.
I hope you're looking forward to what kind of songs we'll be doing.
Let's start the first match.
Team Apple has Sora Yamazaki and Team Kirin has Mayu Masai.
Please come to the center.
The match will be played using JoySound MAX's analysis scoring AI.
The higher the total score of each team, the higher the win.
We will not announce individual scores.
We will only announce the total scores at the end of the match.
I see.
Both of you are in the lead.
Sora-chan, are you nervous?
Yes, I'm very nervous.
Wow, look at Eriko's hands.
I know, right?
Yes, I'll do my best.
Will you do your best?
Yes.
Mayu-chan, how about you?
This is my last day and I'm the most nervous this year.
I'll do my best and stay calm.
Do your best!
Good luck!
Team Apple has Sora Yamazaki in the lead.
The song you'll be singing is "Kami Airplane" from "365 Days".
Please stand by.
Now, it's time for the 17th season of "Kami Airplane" competition. Please enjoy it!
Oh, the performance has been canceled.
What do you mean?
The performance has been canceled.
What do you mean?
Well, I was so nervous that I decided to let you take a deep breath first.
I see.
I was like, "Let's take it easy."
But I was actually nervous.
I think you're in trouble.
Oh, no! The next song is playing.
Please stop it.
So, you're saying that this is also a New Year's Day, right?
Yes, yes.
So, you know...
No one should ask for perfection in this event.
That's right.
Because it's a karaoke competition, no matter how you sing.
That's right.
So, are you okay? Were you nervous just now?
Oh, on the contrary, I'm nervous.
That's right.
It's okay.
You can get angry later.
He's over there.
He's over there, so you can get angry.
On the monitor you can see here, there's a 365-day-old paper airplane that's been put up diagonally like you've never seen before.
It's been put up like this.
How about you, Eri? How about you, Masai and Sorara?
But these two are 17th grade researchers and they're so good at singing that everyone knows about them.
Is that so?
The teacher who's a voice trainer has given me a lot of praise, so I'm very...
Eri-chan!
That's right! Don't lower your expectations!
So you're the 17th grade singer-aces.
That's right.
You two's...
So you're a singing competition, right?
Do your best!
I'll do my best!
How about you, Yuri-san and Sorara?
Sorara, I love your singing so much!
You look like you're having a hard time, but you also have a husky voice, which I like a lot.
Please enjoy it!
Thank you!
Would you like to hear Sorara's song?
Please do!
Okay, Sorara, are you ready?
Yes!
Okay, please listen to "365-day-old paper airplane"!
Okay, do your best!
Do your best!
Go for it!
Can I have your autograph?
I gently wished for each day to be filled with smiles
Sometimes it rains and tears overflow
On days when things don't go as planned, I'll do my best tomorrow
The dream I've always had is to be alone
The dream of being free to do whatever I want
Life is like a dark plane with a wish on board
A black knight
Nice!
Awesome!
How was it, Sorara?
I was so nervous!
I was singing so proudly.
How was it for you?
I was so nervous and my voice was hoarse.
But you did your best.
I'll give you 80 points.
80 points for you.
Thank you.
We'll announce the total points later.
Sorara, please go back to your seat.
Masai!
Next up is Kirin team's Masai Mayu!
The song you'll be singing is "Tsubasa Wa Iranai".
Please do your best!
Thank you!
Look this way! Thank you!
Why? Why?
It's rare for you to choose this song.
Why? Why?
It's not easy to choose.
Please do your best!
Thank you!
So, Masai sang "Tsubasa wa iranai" for us. How was it?
I was really nervous, but the center, Miyon, was in the same team.
She told me to do my best before the performance, and I was able to do that.
I'm happy!
How was it for you, Miyon?
You have the best singing voice.
The members who chose this song are probably only Masai.
Let's do our best and sing together!
Let's do our best!
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
You're the best!
Let's move on to the next match!
The next song is a popular song of 2023!
The singers are...
Apple team, Staomiyu!
Kirin team, Oda Irina!
Go! Go!
You're so cool!
You're so proud of yourself!
I'll announce the song I'll be singing.
Staomiyu sang...
"Chu Tayousei" by ANO.
And Oda Irina sang...
"Beauty" by Changmina.
By the way, I heard you chose "Beauty" yourself.
Miyu, why did you choose this song?
I'm sorry.
Well, I thought it would be exciting.
Oh, that's right.
I heard it's like a karaoke competition.
I chose this song because I thought it would be fun.
I see.
The concept is perfect today.
Amazing.
It's not "ano-chan", it's "tao-chan".
It's "tao-chan".
"Tao-chan"!
Oda Irina also chose this song herself, right?
Yes.
If it wasn't for this song, I would have quit.
Why?
Is it that hot?
It's not that hot.
Why did you choose this song?
This song is like "nichipu", isn't it?
And there were some people who sang "Beauty".
It was very exciting.
I thought I wouldn't want to lose.
You thought you wouldn't lose.
I thought I wouldn't lose.
Oda Irina, you can't lose.
I can't lose.
I wanted to do my best.
I see.
Yes, first of all, apple team Stao... Stao Miyu!
Please stand by.
Yes.
Stao...
Stao Miyu.
"Tao-chan".
Yes.
"Tao-chan".
"Tao-chan", yes.
"Tao-chan", please play your song.
I'm not waiting anymore, try destroying me
Call me night, the taste of trauma
I'm not waiting anymore, please sit down and say "hi"
My throat is aching, I'm lonely
Please erase my loneliness
Let love monopolize love and monopolize me
Let's kiss until we're addicted to each other
I'm Tao.
How was it, Tao?
I made a mistake.
Tao, how was it?
I had a lot of fun.
Thank you for dancing perfectly.
Thank you.
That was Tao.
Tao.
Next up is Kirin Team.
Oda Irina, please stand by.
Go, go!
One pick!
Let's debut!
Let's debut, Oda Irina!
Please support us!
Oda Irina, please stand by.
Oda Irina, please stand by. Her believers are large.
Know yourself, bitch. Even though you look like an HD, I want to be like you.
Tell me, tell me, you're happy, aren't you? If you disappear like this, will you be loved?
Even now, you're beautiful.
It can't be like this, Oda bitch.
Can you add a little contrast to your beauty?
I want to dazzle the whole world.
Look at this, look at this, look at this, look at this.
It may be sad, ay ay ay.
Can you add a little more color?
If you're a woman, you should have long eyes.
If you're a woman, you should get ready.
Chanyeol, you're so cute lately.
I won't forget that storm.
At that time, I was still seventeen.
I said what I said at that time.
You can be beautiful, you can be famous.
You ugly ugly.
It's not without reason.
At that time, I didn't have a crazy mental talent.
I didn't have a lot of taste buds either.
Error of knowledge and experience.
You're still a useless thing, aren't you?
You're still a woman, aren't you?
Look at this.
Look at this, look at this, look at this.
It may be sad, ay ay ay.
Can you add a little more color?
If you're a woman, you should have long eyes.
If you're a woman, you should get ready.
Chanyeol, you're so cute lately.
I won't forget that storm.
You're so different, surprise me. If you say so, I'll die.
You're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful.
If you say so, I'll die.
You're beautiful, breathe, show me now.
You too, I'll die.
You're beautiful.
You too, I'll die.
So, Chanyuri, how was it?
It felt good.
That was totally your field, wasn't it?
It was amazing.
When you rapped, you didn't have this bar, but isn't it a negative possibility?
Which one is it? Is it a plus?
It can't be determined.
I just rapped.
I just wanted to do it.
Thank you very much.
That was Chanyuri.
Thank you.
Ms. Odairi, please go back to your seat.
It was amazing.
I was moved.
I was moved by you, Sora-chan.
I'm glad.
Next up is the summer melody song battle.
Summer melody.
You will be singing with the apple team, Honda Hitomi- san, and the giraffe team, Onishi Momoka- san.
Please come to the center.
Please come.
It's another eight song battle.
I will now announce the song you will be singing.
Honda Hitomi-san will be singing Hito Toyo-san's "Hanamizuki".
Onishi Momoka-san will be singing Nakamori Akina- san's "Designer".
By the way, "hanamizuki" is a 2004 song and "designer" is a 1986 song.
Where did you learn this song?
It's not like I learned it, but it's a song I remember.
I think I sang it at an audition.
I sang it at some audition.
AKB?
Oh, AKB?
But it's a song I like, so I've been listening to it since I was little.
I see. What about you, Momoka-san?
There was a program called "bunbun-eight" that we used to do as a team.
It's a song about singing old songs.
A girl named Nanami Yamada sang it and I fell in love with it.
Oh, so that's how it started.
So you two have a song that's close to "ohako".
I'm "ohako".
It's perfect.
Oh, you've never sung it in karaoke, have you?
No, I haven't.
I've never sung it in karaoke.
I see. So you're looking forward to their self- confidence.
Yes.
From now on, the first and second places will change.
First of all, Momoka Onishi of the Kirin team.
Please stand by.
Thank you.
Momoka, you can do it!
I'll do my best!
Momoka Onishi will now sing "Desire".
Get up, get up, get up, get up, everybody high
I can't do it all.
Thank you for watching my video.
With my lovers, I want you to fall straight into the sky.
I want you to burn like fire.
I miss you.
I could hear the generation's call.
I didn't know it would come out of the audience seat.
How was it, Momoka-san?
I felt like I was myself and it was fun.
I could hear it from that generation.
Thank you very much.
It was really good, wasn't it?
It was the best!
You looked great in it.
I'm so happy!
Thank you very much, Momoka-san!
Thank you!
Next up is...
Next up is Honda Hitomi-san from Ringo Team!
Please stand by!
Good luck!
You two have a great chemistry.
Thank you!
Please listen to Honda Hitomi-san's "Hana Mizuki."
Pushing up the sky, you reach out your hand for May.
I want you to wear it, I want you to wear it up to your swimsuit.
I'll give you a bud.
I hope it will end soon.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Summer is too hot.
I have too many feelings.
If we cross together,
I'm sure the boat will sink.
Please go ahead.
Go ahead.
I hope my patience will tie my mind.
I hope my endless tears will stop properly.
I hope you and the person you love will last for a hundred years.
Summer is too hot.
Thank you very much.
It looks like you're watching "Hamadaka Fortress".
"Hamadaka Fortress"!
That's right.
Heeyee often sings in front of other artists.
How was it this time?
It's not common for me to sing songs other than AKB songs in front of fans like this.
That's right.
I was very happy to sing "Opaco" in front of you as usual. Thank you very much.
It felt like "Opaco", didn't it?
Thank you very much.
How was it, Yuuri-san?
I felt like I was going to cry.
Really?
The song really suited you.
Thank you very much.
The atmosphere was very good.
I'm happy.
Thank you very much, Heeyee-san.
Thank you very much.
Now, let's go back to the next match.
Yes, the next match is "Temo Temo no Namida Taiketsu".
Suddenly?
Yes.
Two people will be selected from both teams to sing "Temo Temo no Namida".
The singer members are Kirin Team's Hiyuka Sakagawa and Remi Tokunaga.
The apple team consists of Tomoyami Nagato and Miyu Mizushima.
Everyone, please come to the center.
Oh, how nice of you.
Here we are.
Cute costumes.
Cute.
They're separated.
Nice, nice.
So, we're going to perform "Temo Temo no Namida" but...
Kirin Yuki, who is also an original member...
Yes.
"Mimamoru"...
Wow, wow.
The feeling of participation was amazing.
We're having fun.
We're going to listen to "Temo Temo no Namida" with "Mimamoru".
What do you think?
Well...
The song is quite difficult...
But I think the point of the song is how much we can catch our breath.
I see.
So, we're looking forward to each and every "Temo Temo no Namida".
You're like a judge.
Not at all.
We're like a team.
Yes, we are.
We're really looking forward to it.
Yes.
So...
Oh, right! Since it's karaoke, we're not going to use stand mics, right?
Yes.
Yes, we shouldn't use them.
We shouldn't use them.
We shouldn't use things like that.
We shouldn't use them.
So...
We're looking forward to both teams' original "Temo Temo no Namida".
Is that okay?
Yes!
Then, Kirin team's Sakagawa and Tokunaga...
Please stand by.
Yes!
Do your best!
If you don't mind, we'll give you this song.
We'll give you your graduation song.
Do your best!
The thin rain started to fall, as if it were lowering a silver butterfly.
I closed my bag, and that was my first love.
My second love, which I've been waiting for so long.
And now, when I look down, there's not even a trace of love.
Not even a trace of love.
So, how was it for you two?
I was so nervous.
It was crazy.
Emita, you looked like you couldn't believe it right before you sang it.
It's embarrassing!
It was crazy.
We did our best.
But you two worked really well together, didn't you?
It was really good.
You were not only cute, but you were also expressing the world view of the song.
It was really good!
I'm happy!
It was the best!
So, thank you, you two!
Thank you!
Next up is the apple team!
Nagatomo and Mizumi!
Please stand by!
Go for it!
Is it really okay for it to rain?
I closed my blue bag.
That's my first love.
I can't do anything but smile.
I'm a person who can't do anything but cry.
We were almost at the end of the lesson, but we sang from A to Z until the chorus.
I was happy to be able to cry for the first time.
That's good.
How about you, Yukirin?
I also cried for the first time as an adult.
I like it, too.
Since it's the other team, let's do it in a routine.
I'm glad about both of you.
Thank you very much.
Next up is a song battle.
Both teams will do a high-tension performance.
First of all, Kirin team, please come forward.
They're here!
Please sing with the seven of you in front of you.
By the way, what song will you be singing?
One, two...
It's IDOLiSH7's "MONSTER DEMONATION"!
They're posing.
You all love the nickname "IDOLiSH7", don't you?
We love it! We love it from the bottom of our hearts!
She's the leader!
She's leading us.
I see.
Can I ask you one thing?
Yes.
Muto-san, do you know IDOLiSH7?
Um...
I don't know...
She's the only one who doesn't know.
We don't have enough people.
We heard that we didn't have enough people.
So we took a break.
I see.
We took a break.
Thank you for watching only episode 3.
I see.
Since it's Halloween, I'm sure you're different.
It's not like that.
We didn't happen to have it.
But it's Pikachu in yellow.
That's right.
That changes the story a little.
By the way, how do you feel about singing this song with everyone?
I'm very happy!
Because it's the culmination of my year of 2023!
I'm really happy that you all like IDOLiSH7 in 2023!
That's enough!
We're a team.
That's enough!
Let me talk!
I'm sorry!
You're full of victims!
Are you okay?
Are you a victim of IDOLiSH7?
You're a victim of IDOLiSH7!
A former victim of IDOLiSH7!
You all like IDOLiSH7 now.
I'm really happy.
I'm glad you like it.
I'm looking forward to it.
I'm glad you like it.
Okay, everyone.
Everyone, please stand by!
Yes!
What will it be like?
Please listen to it!

An unreachable passion
(True love)
Mr. Yaki Rin, yeah!
I'm not a judge!
Even if you say "Mr. Yaki Rin, yeah!",
Orin was the most excited!
Why is that?
You're great!
There are a lot of people who love and love passionately,
so I thought I had to do it with the same feeling,
and I memorized it by watching various videos.
Thank you!
You're the best!
To do this,
it's the first time in my life as an AKB member
to have Maho-pyon teach me how to dance!
It's the first time in my life as an AKB member
to have a member teach me how to dance!
It's really tough!
It's one step from here, and it's L from here!
I can't do anything all the time!
You can't do anything all the time,
but you can do this!
You can do it with confidence!
I'm glad you're satisfied with the script!
I'm really satisfied!
I'm really happy!
Thank you!
Thank you for making it exciting!
Thank you!
I'm glad!
Everyone in the Kirin team,
except for Mr. Yaki Rin,
including Mr. Yaki Rin,
everyone!
Please switch with this amazing Kira Kira team!
Is it okay?
Everyone,
this Kira Kira team will do their best from now on!
Yes, please leave it to me!
IDOLiSH7 will do our best!
When did you say "fun" to IDOLiSH7?
With that said,
everyone in the Ringo team,
please come up to the stage!
Please!
It's going to be tough after this, isn't it?
Hi!
They're here!
Hi!
They're cute!
Now, the apple team will sing the song diagonally as you can see.
So, everyone, what will you sing...
Oh, can you hold the mic for me, please?
Oh...
So, everyone, what will you sing for me?
One, two...
It's "Perfect Goonone"!
Wow!
This is different from before, isn't it?
You know it, don't you?
Yes, that's what it is.
What do you think, Saho-san?
Yes!
I don't think we'll lose if we get excited about it.
I'm sure you'll be more excited about it.
That's right.
I'm sure you'll be able to make more calls than before.
Yes.
This time, we'll compete with singing scores.
You don't have to look at what we just did.
What we just did was just a fun karaoke session.
So, I heard you've already gathered the scores, especially the members who sing well.
Yes, that's right.
I've heard of it.
These two will give us extra points.
I see!
They'll give us extra points for "Goonone".
Yes, extra points.
So, unlike "Noridake" earlier, you'll also sing beautifully.
Wait a minute!
What is "Noridake"?
Both of you were wonderful.
Then, please stand by.
Yes!
Oh, no.
Yes!
Shall we dance?
Then, please listen.
From the apple team, "Kanpeki Goonone".
Extra points. Extra points. Extra points. Extra points. Extra points. Extra points.
Extra points.
Setsunai... Setsunai...
Kyou wa mushii ya ne... You're better today, aren't you?
I love you...
Thank you! Good evening!
Good! Good!
You did it!
Vibrato!
Gnone!
What happened at the end?
Vibrato was amazing!
Eri-chan, Eri-chan, how was it?
It was perfectly Gnone!
What do you mean?
Thank you!
Wow! Amazing!
Really?
I think I would give this song about 105 points.
Wow!
By the way, we are competing here, but
Meg-san danced a lot by herself.
That's right.
As I expected, I...
Today was like a year-end party.
I had that kind of mind.
I wanted to liven up everyone.
Gnone-san's team and I get along well.
I see.
We danced together unexpectedly.
I'm sorry.
We are IDOLiSH7.
I'm sorry.
But it was fun.
What is IDOLiSH7?
Thank you!
Eri-chan, thank you!
Naru-san!
Naru-san, how did you like it?
What?
Did you see it?
I saw it.
You saw it, didn't you?
But Hinana kept saying "vibrato" and "ten caserial" all the time.
We practiced behind the scenes.
I think we got good results.
Thank you for your hard work.
Finally, Gnone!
Gnone!
I don't know if it's a correct answer as an idol.
As a karaoke...
Today...
Let's forgive it for today.
Thank you!
That's all for Team Gnone.
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
That's all for Team Gnone.
Including Yuri-san, please switch seats with everyone.
Yes!
The seats suddenly became shiny.

Are you going straight to get it?
How about you, Non-chan?

Well...
There are a lot of 17th generation members, so I feel secure.

As expected of you.
Good!
First of all!
How about you, Zun-chan?
Yes.
How about you, Zun-chan?
Well...
Um...
I've always wanted to do something cute...
Yes.
It's a little embarrassing to get involved in a place where there are a lot of teenagers...
It's okay!
It's a little embarrassing...
It's okay!
It's okay, Zun-chan!
It's not like that!
It's okay!
It's not like that!
It's amazing!

- How was it? - Um...
- The song was really cute too, but...
- It was an AKB song and it was my first time singing "Blade Flow" so...
- I kind of took it too seriously.
- You didn't listen to the song, did you? - I did, I did, but...
- But I wanted to sing it this way. - Oh, while looking at it?
- Yeah, I wanted to sing it. - But everyone's singing voice was really cute, wasn't it?

- Okay, everyone, are you confident you can beat Team Apple?
- We are!
- How do you feel, Ayanan-san? - Why are you asking me?
- Ayanan-san, you're in charge of singing, but I'm worried you won't be able to sing.
- Don't ask the most confident person. - Ayanan - san, you said you don't know this song, right?
- Are you okay? - I'm fine. - How about you, Nami?
- Are you nervous? - I'm a little worried.
- Ayanan-san, you said you were worried, but there are a lot of fun members, so we'll do our best.

Good morning!
Um...
First of all, Mogi-san, what are you going to do about this?
I thought you were going to do it!
I'm really sorry! I didn't mean it like that!
I was telling everyone in the Kirin Team to go, and then...
It started rattling!
I didn't know there was such a beautiful way of starting a flag!
I'm really sorry!
Ayana-san, what did you do?
I couldn't stop shaking my hands!
I'm really sorry!
Even though you cut off the understart dash, the next person did it perfectly!
Thank you so much!
This is what you call teamwork!
Thank you!
One team!
It was a great teamwork!
Please take care of your health!
Thank you!
Can this team and everyone sit down?
It was a great battle!
How was it, Iri-chan?
When I heard Ayana-san's singing for the first time, I felt really happy!
You felt happy when you heard Ayana-san's singing for the first time?
Yes!
I'm glad you felt happy, Ayana-san!
Thank you!
Let's move on to the next song!
Next up is an idol song battle!
Both teams will select two people each and perform songs by idols other than AKB48!
The vocalists are Kirin Team's Okabe Rin and Oguri Yui!
The ringo team is Kurano Narumi and Yamauchi Mizuki!
Everyone, please come to the center!
There are only two matches left!
First up is Kirin Team's Okabe Rin and Oguri Yui!
What will you be singing?
"Kaito Shojo"!
Why did you choose this song?
Ever since I was in middle school, I've loved Momokuro- san and always wanted to sing her songs.
I chose this song because it's so serious and I don't want to get nervous the day before.
What about you, Rie?
I haven't sung this song much, but I wanted to sing it with you, Rin-chan, so we came here together.
I see.
So we have a scoring today, but we hope we can liven up the atmosphere with you!
Okay, let's get started.
Okay, so Kirin Team's Okabe-san and Guri-san, please stand by.
Yes! Yes! We are the peach-colored clover!
Denika, Nako, Shiori, Ayaka, Momoka, Kouna
Kimi no Hato
Megane, Tesshin, Ahsou
When the chime rings, hurry up and meet up.
I don't have time to do homework.
Take off your uniform and transform into Garrett!
The name is modification
peach-colored clover
I won't let my target escape!
Saucy Skiboss Great Thief!
Everyone in the world
I'm flying around today with a microphone in hand.
No one can stop me
There's nothing I want
With a smile and a singing voice
Thank you very much.
Let's put it aside for now.
Let's put it aside for now. How was it for you two?
It was a lot of fun!
It was fun!
My dream came true!
Because you can officially wear black and pink!
It was awesome!
It was a pretty nice combination.
It was fun!
Design wise...
Thank you!
Um... which one of you...
I'm black and pink.
You were dancing perfectly!
You're probably the biggest fan here, right?
Yeah.
I wish I could do this too.
It's messed up.
You're out of breath.
But it was awesome.
It was a good combination, right?
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
You two can stay in the back and watch the next song.
Next up is the apple team.
Kurano and Zucchi, please come up to the stage.
Oh, they're here.
They're here.
What will you be singing?
One, two...
"Utakata Saturday Night"!
It's Morning Musume's song.
Yes!
Why did you choose this song?
It's one of my favorite Morning Musume songs.
I listen to it a lot.
I see.
I chose this song because I want to get excited.
I see.
Yes.
How about you, Zucchi?
If we're going to do it, we want to sing exciting songs.
Last year, we became a pair with Naru.
That's right.
It's a perfect match.
Yes.
We're going to rock it.
Yes.
I'm looking forward to it.
Yes.
Please stand by.
Yes.
Please stand by.
The first...
Please listen to "Utakata Saturday Night" by the apple team.
♪ "Utakata Saturday Night" by the apple team ♪
♪ I don't know if it's a little thing or no sound ♪
♪ If that's the case, I'm sure I'll be surprised at the weekend ♪

Thank you very much!
How was it, you two singing?
It was fun!
When I looked Zucchi in the eye, I felt very energetic.
Right?
From the first line, "I can't sing well," Nara's voice exploded and it was so much fun.
It was the best.
When I looked from this side, there was another person.
Huh?
Right?
Oh, there she is.
Huh?
I'm sorry.
A little...
The blood of a haropro otaku has dried up and it came out!
It was amazing.
The combination of the three I saw...
I'm sorry for disturbing you.
It was the best.
It was really good, wasn't it?
Yes!
Thank you very much!
I hope you two will watch the next match here as well!
Yes!
Thank you very much!
Now, we will finally move on to the last match!
Yes!
The last match will be a captain match!
Oh!
Yukirin-san, Yuiri-san, please come to the center!
Please!
Oh!
Please, please!
Now...
So...
It will be a match between captains, but...
Yes...
Yuiri-san, what did you think of the match so far?
Well, I can't forget about you, Ayanan!
Ayanan!
That was...
It was quite shocking, but...
Yes...
Well, as motivation...
The part I sang properly was "doushite?"
I'm glad it's an enemy team this time.
That's true.
I'm glad it was fun.
How about you, Yugiri-san?
To be honest, that was the most exciting part of the school festival.
It was very exciting.
Why did you start singing?
It's a karaoke tournament where everyone's personalities come out.
I think it's a good feeling.
Yes, the captain confrontation will be sung in full instead of one chorus as before.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Let's start with the apple team, Murayama Yuiri- san.
Yes.
So, Yuiri-san, what song will you be singing?
It's "Yokaze no Shiwa".
I'm sorry.
I'm happy.
I didn't expect it to be Yukiri-san's representative song.
I'm really happy.
Why did you choose this song?
It's not often that I sing in front of Yukiri-san.
I've never performed it properly.
It's my first time performing a full chorus.
It will be a memorable New Year's Day.
Yes.
It's going to be fun.
Let's have you stand by.
Yes, please.
I'm nervous.
Thank you.
Apo.
Good luck, Yuiri!
Thank you very much.
Please listen to "Yokaze no Shiwaza" by Murayama Yuiri-san.
Thank you.
I'm happy.
It looks like an orange crescent moon is sagging at the edge of the sky
About a phone
It seems like something bad happened. I've been waiting for a long time.
I can't believe I'm busy at work today.
Even I know it
The asphalt all alone
The footsteps are so lonely
I want to kick one of the air cans
I want to see you so much that I want to cry
I want to fly through this sky right now
why did i fall in love with you so much
I didn't mean to be serious
wrinkles in the wind
I'm waiting for you in any place.
No matter how many stars are by my side,
I can't live without you.
You're my only star.
I'm leaning on the seesaw in Chino Park.
I'm looking at the history of landing many times.
I'm the only one who's the weight of love.
I'm leaning on you because you're too heavy for me.
Hey, give me your phone number.
The more I want to cry,
the more I want to see you.
I want you to take me to where you are now.
I feel like I want to go somewhere.
I don't want to go back to my lonely room.
I'm waiting for you in any place.
No matter how stupid you are.
Why do I get so excited?
I don't want to go back to El when tomorrow comes.
Thank you very much.
How was it, Yuri-san?
I was nervous, but I had a lot of fun.
Oh, really?
How was it?
I'll give you this song after you graduate.
I can't have it.
I could feel how much you love this song.
I'm so happy.
Thank you.
I'm so happy, too.
Thank you, everyone.
It was the best.
So...
Shall we move on to the last one, Yukirin-san?
Yes!
What song will you sing for us, Yukirin-san?
I'll sing "Fan Letter" by Team K.
Oh!
"Fan Letter".
I thought it would be the last time I sang in a place like this since I graduated.
At the end of the year, I want to express my feelings to my fans and members.
So I'm going to sing a song on behalf of my fans at the end of the year.
I knew you'd do that.
I'm sorry.
It's a little late, though.
In the questionnaire...
Did you write this song in the same questionnaire?
I wrote songs of various genres.
AKB's "Nakeru Ballad".
Oh, I see.
I wrote a lot of songs.
You wrote a lot of songs.
I wrote a lot of songs like "Morms" and "Wish".
You wrote a lot of songs.
But you chose "Fan Letter" as a song.
But I'll sing it with all my heart at the end of the year.
I'll sing it with all my heart at the end of the year.
Please stand by.
It's my first time singing "Fan Letter" by myself.
Thank you!
It's impossible not to see it at this distance, isn't it?
Please listen to "Fan Letter" by Yuki Kashiogi.
"Fan Letter" by Yuki Kashiogi.
It's been three years since we first met.
What kind of me is reflected in your eyes?
The dream we talked about one day...
How much closer did we get?
Every time, you looked at me with a smile and said nothing.
I was watching over you.
I walked under your shadow, wrapped in your kindness.
I can't show my frustration, loneliness, and sadness to others.
I was depressed and in search of salvation.
I felt like I was breaking down.
I gave up and said I couldn't do it anymore.
But I was able to reach you.
While I was listening to your voice, I didn't hesitate in coming this far.
I was guided by your voice, your light, and your kindness.
I'm touched by your voice, your light, and your kindness.
I looked for you in my dreams.
I'm touched by your voice, your light, and your kindness.
Thank you very much.
How do you feel now, Yukiri-san?
This song made me feel the best.
I want to say thank you to all of you.
I haven't sung in front of so many people like this before.
So it was a great experience for me.
How about you, Yuri-san?
I feel like I should say "don't stop".
Thank you.
Thank you for saying "don't stop".
Now, regardless of enemies or allies, everyone sang your song.
I'm happy. Thank you.
It was a great atmosphere.
Thank you.
Yuri-san looks like she's about to cry.
How do you feel?
Thank you.
Will you really graduate?
I will.
Will you?
I will.
I feel like everyone should say "don't stop".
Really?
I'm happy. Thank you.
Thank you.
Yuri-san, I don't know if you noticed,
but there wasn't a part of the bar that turned red.
Really?
Almost all of them.
Wow.
Singing feels better than "don't stop".
No doubt about it.
Really?
I'm happy. Scores are important.
I'm glad.
I'll do my best.
Thank you.
Now, we will start the final round.
The team with the highest total points in eight rounds will win.
The final round will take some time,
so we'll have all 18th generation members join us.
Everyone, please join us!
Please join us!
"Forgetting the Age", "Idol Song", "2023"
Are you enjoying it?
Yeah!
- Thank you! - Thank you!
I'm sure our seniors have performed a variety of songs for us at karaoke.
How was it for you all?
Well, for me, Sora Yamazaki's song really stuck in my head.
I think it's really nerve-wracking to sing solo in a top band.
But she sang it all by herself and I was really moved.
I received it on New Year's Day. Thank you!
- It was really wonderful. - Yeah, it was.
- I'm glad you liked it. - Thank you.
- Oh, Kasumi? - For me,
what really stuck in my head was Oda-san's "beauty"?
- I know! - That's right!
She was so powerful and I felt like she was really enjoying this stage.
And also, it's her first time at karaoke without a bar.
- That's right! - That's right!
When I first saw it, I was surprised too.
I was like, "Huh? Is it okay? Is it a mistake?"
- I thought you were joking. - I thought you were joking.
- I felt it. Thank you. - Yeah, the rap was amazing.
- It was really cool. - It was my first time hearing a senpai's "gap".
- That's right! - It was really cool.
- It was my first time seeing it. - Yes.
- Is there anything else? - Oh!
- Oh!
- For me,
Soreku-san's "temo demo no namida"?
It was a battle between two teams,
and it even had dancing in it.
- I know! - When I saw it, both teams had different kinds of coolness, cuteness, and beauty.
It made me want to sing it too.
- That's right! - It was really good.
Also, Kashiwagi-san's "judging committee"?
- That's right! - It's the best.
- With all of the songs... - She's like a mother.
- She's watching over us. - She's watching over us.
- We're grateful for that. - She always says, "It's not judging, you know?"
- She always said that. - Yes.
- There's a lot of people who like karaoke during October too. - That's right.
- If we get the chance... - Let's go karaoke together!
- We'd like to do karaoke! - Yes!
- Yes!
- With that, we 18th grade students will also perform a song! - Yay!
- Please listen to it! "Excuse Maybe"!
On the usual road, on the usual road
I'm running, I'm running on the train
My sweat is wet by September's gentle breeze
I'm resting, I'm resting
I haven't seen you in a while, I haven't seen you in a while
I've been thinking about you over and over again
I thought of you as just a friend
Even now, I want to see you, see you
Maybe, maybe, maybe I like you
There are no clouds in the blue sky
Maybe, maybe, maybe I like you
I know it's love, but I'll do it
Maybe, it's painful, I can't do anything
I love you, it's painful, I'm in pain
I love you, I love you, I love you
Thank you very much.
Yes, everyone born in 1918, thank you very much.
Yes, so we have presented you this year's first attempt, "Forgetting the Year", "Idol Song 2023".
However, Yukirin-san, Yui-rin-san, is there a possibility of a revival next year?
Ah, how about you?
That's right.
How about you, fans? Did you have fun?
Did you?
Ah, that's great!
Thank you very much.
That's good, isn't it?
Is there such a possibility?
That's right.
However, you know, this year we were often in front of this stage, weren't we?
That's right, that's right.
I hope we can do "Forgetting the Year" next year for you, too.
Then, leave it to Manaka for next year.
Um...
Ah, haven't you sung it yet?
I, um... I'm sorry.
You haven't sung it yet?
Can I say one thing?
Yes, what is it?
Um...
It's the same as last year's concert, but I've only been an MC!
That's amazing!
That's right!
That's amazing!
I'd like to say it, but I've been living as a singer.
Have you written a survey?
No, I haven't.
You haven't done it in the first place?
I haven't even written a survey.
I see.
I should have worked hard as a member who sings.
That's true.
Even though you've sung a song.
That's right. I've sung a song in a finalist live.
Really?
That's amazing.
Then you can sing and also talk.
That's right!
I get it now.
That's amazing.
Then next year, as a general moderator...
Oh, is it okay?
Is it okay?
How about you, Eri-chan? What do you want to do next year?
I also want to be an MC again next year.
You want to be an MC?!
Seriously?!
You want to sing?
That's right! I want to listen to you sing!
But this survey came to me and I put it in first place.
Eh?!
I sang it out loud and I thought, "I can do this."
You thought you could do it?
By the way, what did you...
Um...
"Until Spring Comes".
Ah, "Until Spring Comes"!
It's an AKB song.
Yes.
I see, you put it in first place.
And then you made me MC.
Maybe you were too motivated.
You wanted me to be your MC.
That's right.
Be careful, maybe the survey won't come next year.
Then let's do our best together.
We'll do our best.
If it doesn't come.
So, is it okay?
Well, thank you for your patience.
The results of the collection have just come out.
So, members of the cast, please come out.
Thank you very much.
We don't have a winner or loser today?
No, we don't.
What are you doing this for?
Give me back my fan letter!
Oh, that's right.
It seems like you'll get the feeling of winning.
That's right, that's right.
Then I'm happy.
So, everyone, is everything okay?
Oh, is it out?
Oh, it might be a little more.
Is everything okay?
Yes.
Then I will announce the results.
Eri-chan, please.
Yes.
First of all, I will announce the total points of the Kirin team.
It's written here.
Then...
Yes.
The total points of the Kirin team are...
721 points!
Isn't that pretty good?
Yes, this is...
By the way...
All eight songs were performed by each team.
Out of 800 points...
Out of 8 million points...
721 points.
Isn't that amazing?
That's pretty good, isn't it?
You're saying it's above 90 points, right?
Almost.
That's pretty good, isn't it?
I think this has put a lot of pressure on the apple team.
Yes.
Then...
Shall we go?
Then...
The total points of the apple team are...
719 points!
So, with only 2 points, 3 points, and 2 points difference, team "kirin" wins!
With only 2 points, 3 points, and 2 points difference, team "kirin" wins!
- Ayana, I'm glad you won. - Yes, I'm glad you lost!
- I'm glad that I was able to contribute to the victory. - You're complaining!
- I'm happy you lost. - Thank you.
- And Iri, how about you? - Well...
- Ayana and Ayana will get it, too! - I'm sad to be defeated, but it was fun to have a party.
- I'll do my best when we meet again next year! - We'll do our best.
That's all for "Forgetting the Age - Idols Song 2023".
That's all for today.
Everyone at the venue, and Menea-san watching the stream, how was it?
Thank you very much!
Thank you for growing until the end!
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much, Manaka and Eri!
Finally, we would like you all to sing a song for the end of the year.
Okay, is everyone ready?
Before we start singing, we would like you all to know that Yui Murayama will be performing in a theater next year.
Yes, next year, February 24th, we will be performing in front of the original new theater that will be closed for the first day of the year.
Yes, Yui Murayama will be producing that theater.
I'm looking forward to it!
Yes, the first day of the year will be held on February 13th next year, so please look forward to it!
Please look forward to it!
Everyone, please look forward to it!
Yes, once again, thank you for coming to Omisoka Park today.
Like this, on the last day of the year, all the members gathered in a theater like this and celebrated Omisoka with the fans.
I think it's something that hasn't happened before, so I think it was a very good end of the year.
Everyone who supported me in 2023, thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
However, until a few years ago on New Year's Day,
AKB48 was also standing on the stage of "Kohaku Utagassen" and it is also true that we were allowed to stand.
And there are really few members who know the scenery.
Next year, as announced now, the theater park will be renewed and various members will graduate, including Yukirin-san.
And as announced at the election announcement the other day, the young members are really motivated and everyone is doing their best,
and in that sense, there are setbacks, and as the generation changes further and further, I think that a new AKB48 will be created more and more.
But even in that kind of environment, even as it changes, I want to be a group that puts its chest out and aims for various places of dreams like "Kohaku" with the members I love now.
Above all, I want juniors who haven't seen such a scenery yet to see it.
And like a group that fans will love for a long time in the future,
what I can do is to connect history and thoughts.
So, today, on this secretive day, I have an announcement for you all.
I, Miyon Mukaichi, have been appointed as the general director of the AKB48 group and I would like to entrust that role to the next member.
Thank you very much.
Since April 2019, I have been working as the general director for about five years.
Since I was appointed, I have had a lot of valuable experiences that I have never experienced in my idol life.
I am really grateful and full of feelings of gratitude.
But at the same time, I have been hit by Corona and many walls.
Every time I was hit by Corona, I felt helpless and helpless, and I think I made my fans feel a lot of anxiety many times.
Still, thanks to the fans, staff and members who believed in me and supported me as always, I was able to run this far for five years.
Thank you very much.
Well, as a general director, I tried it and felt it, but sometimes I feel lonely.
I was bound by the idea that I had to be a general director before I was an idol.
Of course, there was a time when I couldn't enjoy the activities I loved so much about akb.
So I was very worried about whether I should entrust this heavy responsibility or weight to someone else in the future.
However, over the past few months, I have talked a lot with the staff and management, and I have talked a lot with the members.
After all, in order for akb to continue as akb, I felt that connecting that baton to the future was something I could do.
This is not just for the general director, but for the members as well.
I'm sure some of you are wondering if you really need to be here or if you have a place to be.
But I don't think there are members who absolutely don't need it.
They're doing everything they can for AKB, and that's why we have AKB today.
Each of them is handing over their batons to the next generation.
With that repetition, AKB has been able to make history for 18 years.
So I hope everyone will keep that in mind.
So likewise, I've decided to hand over my baton to the next generation.
However, I'm not in a position to manage AKB. I'm in a position to bring AKB together.
It's important for me to be in a position like that, but it's also important for me to be an idol and a human being.
I hope everyone will remember that, and I hope the next generation will also remember that.
I know it's been a while, but I'd like to announce the next generation.
The next generation...
I'd like to ask Narumi Kurano for her baton.
You were next to me the whole time.
I was shaking.
The reason I chose you is...
you're a team captain and you've put Kurano's team into a great team.
Not only in terms of singing and dancing,
but also in terms of your attitude as an idol and how you feel when you're on stage.
I think you're one of the members who can proudly show their backs to everyone.
So I chose you because I knew you were the only one I could leave it to.
Could you say a few words for us, Narumi?
I'm Narumi Kurano, and I'll be joining the 4th generation of the AKB48 group.
When I first heard about this, I was worried about whether I would be able to handle it.
But with the changing AKB48, when I thought about what I wanted to do,
I realized that I didn't want my seniors to lead me forever, but that I wanted to be able to lead others.
I may be immature at times, but I'll do my best to lead others.
Please continue to support me and AKB48!
Thank you very much!
Even after listening to your speech, I think you're fine now.
You've been with AKB48 for 10 years and you're strong.
Of course you're fine now, but as you continue to work,
I want you to know that you've been through a lot and that it's been hard for you.
I want you to use your experience and support you.
From now on, I hope you'll continue to work hard like you do now.
As for the period of suspension, I will work until your graduation concert in Pierina on March 16th.
And from your concert at AKB48 on March 17th, I'd like you to work with me.
With that said, I think we'll be able to create even more AKB48 from now on.
As I said earlier, each and every one of you is important.
Just like that, I think each and every one of you is really important to us, AKB48.
So next year, we won't forget that feeling and we'll work hard together.
Thank you for your support for AKB48 in 2024 as well.
And one more thing. I heard that you have your own award ceremony for being a great director.
And you did it here.
Have you done it before?
I don't remember doing it.
But you did it this time.
Takamina-san and Yokoyama-san did it last time.
Really?
I didn't do it.
You are back.
Yes, I am back.
Actually, I did it in my mind.
But I will do it now.
Here is a piece of paper.
I, Mukaichi Mio, hereby declare that I will be the director of AKB48 Group from March 17th, 2024.
I will sign this paper on December 31st, 2023.
I don't think I have seen it before.
You don't know it, do you?
I don't know it.
You did it on your 10th anniversary, Takamina-san.
Oh, you did it.
I will remember it.
Let's all remember it.
I will sign it now.
Here I go.
Wow.
People are looking at you.
People are surrounding you.
Wow.
I have signed it now.
Could you please take a picture of us?
Don't let us be in the picture!
They're the same size.
Thank you very much!
And I'd like to give this megaphone to you, too!
Thank you!
I'll do my best!
Thank you very much!
Well...
Yes!
So...
This is...
Yes, thank you very much!
Oh, I was nervous...
Thank you for your hard work!
Yes...
So...
Now...
I've signed and taken pictures...
So...
Yes...
From next year...
Yes...
KURA's AKB will...
Be born anew, so...
I hope you will support us!
Well...
There were many things, but...
At the end of 2023...
I would like all of you to sing a song for me!
Please sing a song for your fans!
"Because you were there for me"!
Thank you!
The song of that day will echo far and wide
The clock is turned back (tokei ga makimodosarete) The clock is turned back
The tears don't stop anymore
The treasure of memories (kioku no takaramusu) The treasure of memories
You reached out your hand to me, who was still dreaming The most important thing is to look forward. (ichiban daiji na koto wa mae o muiteru koto da) The most important thing is to look forward I felt better when I groaned
Thank you (arigatou gozaimasu) Thank you very much
Looking back at those hard times, I saw what you were like
Because you were there for me, I didn't give up and kept going
For me, you'll always be there, watching over me from hometown
How old are you now?
You're much younger than me in those days.
You said you were selfish and couldn't see anything.
How old are you now?
You've shed so many tears.
(I love you)
Thank you very much.
That's all for the New Year's party.
Did you enjoy it?
Thank you very much.
Once again, thank you for supporting AKB48 a lot in 2023.
Thank you very much.
Now, I'd like to say goodbye to all of you who are here with us today.
Please watch the video as well.
And we took a group photo with all of you before it was released.
It's also on sale in the lobby, so please get it in commemoration of today.
Now, let's say goodbye one last time.
Thank you very much!
Can you see me?
First of all, everyone in VR.
Thank you so much for watching the performances in this theater for a year.
Please support AKB48 in 2024 as well.
Bye-bye!
Thank you for coming to AKB48's New Year's Day concert!
Thank you!
It was your first time doing a karaoke competition. How was it, Ms. Kirin?
The name of the team was a little...
It reminded me of kindergarten.
Kirin Team and...
Ringo Team.
That's amazing.
We were able to do it without thinking too much about it.
That's right.
I didn't feel like it was a turning point.
It was a fun karaoke competition as a member of each team.
At the end of the year...
At today's karaoke competition...
I had a lot of fun.
It was a lot of fun.
When you released your fan letter...
The school was amazing. Were you there?
No, I wasn't.
I was looking at the monitor on the sofa.
And you go out to a bar, right?
The score was almost always correct.
Was it blue?
I wanted to do the bar more seriously.
But when there were customers...
I thought I could have done it better if I did it like this.
No, no.
It was so beautiful.
It was perfect.
But when it was over, there was a big applause in the dressing room.
The members were shining on stage.
Everyone was listening to me.
It's a good memory.
I thought you were good girls.
It was a really good memory.
I was able to do it before graduation.
The song "bar" is still playing.
It looks like it's playing.
"Bar" and "two shot".
Please listen to it.
I was watching you, too.
Oh, no!
There are about one person who didn't see it.
And we have a lot of announcements, starting with you, Yu-chan.
Yes, it's been six years since I produced a new performance as a producer.
We're going to do it with 16 people!
Wow! I'm looking forward to it!
It's been a long time since we've done this.
I'm looking forward to it.
I think it's because we're AKB members now that we can show our individuality.
It's really fun right now, so please wait a little longer!
I'm looking forward to it.
There's something new.
And I also have an announcement.
I'm replacing the third director, and I'm appointing the fourth director, Kurano Narumi- chan!
I'm looking forward to it!
It's been a while!
It's been a few years!
It's been a while!
It's been three months.
It's been a while!
Please say a lot!
Of course I'll say it!
There are exactly three of me, right?
I'm Takamina Saekoema.
I was able to see all of you at the last minute.
Really?
That's right.
Since Takamina-san's era.
It's been that long.
That's amazing!
So it's been nice to have all three of you.
I'm happy, too.
Yes.
I'll do my best to become such a director!
Thank you!
I think it's really AKB with fans.
Thank you for your support in 2023!
And thank you for your support for AKB48 in 2024!
Thank you!
Let's have a good year!
