Hello everyone! I'm AKB48's Narumi Kurano!
Thank you!
Thank you for coming to AKB48's New Year's Day performance!
Before we start, I'd like to make a few requests.
While performing, if you have no choice but to stand on a chair or move seats during performance, it's dangerous and it will be a nuisance for other audience members, so please do not do it!
Recording devices and recording devices are not allowed to be brought in or used.
If you have them, please leave them with the audience members.
Also, please make sure your mobile phones are in "manner" mode.
The hall is forbidden from entering.
Due to the circumstances of our performance today, we will cancel the emergency lights in the audience seats.
At the time of disaster, the store and audience members will guide you, but please check the entrance in advance.
Now, it's the last performance of the year!
It's the last performance of the year!
Everyone, thank you for coming even though you are busy!
I hope we can make it the best closing day of 2024!
We will perform soon! Please wait for a while!
This has been AKB48's Narumi Kurano!
AKB48's Narumi Kurano!
I'm sure each of you have your own shining side, so please look forward to it!
Personally, I love comedy.
At the end of the year, we did the M-1 Grand Prix, didn't we?
But today, I think this is M-1 for AKB48.
That's why we always host, and Kouji Shimada and Aya Ueto are doing it, aren't they?
Okay, so today I'm Aya Ueto...
No, I'm also Aya Ueto!
Oh, me too!
I hope we can make this song even more exciting!
The first prize is...
Let me announce the members who have been nominated for the first prize!
Here they are!
This lucky prize will be given to five new students who have just debuted this year!
First of all, let's take a look at the fresh performance of these five new students!
They showed us a wonderful excitement from the beginning!
AKB48's middle and high school graduates were announced at the Pian Arena in March of this year!
Yes, that's right. Just like now, GINGAM CHECK gave us a flowery debut!
Wow, that's wonderful!
Thank you very much!
Now, one thing. Ueno-senpai's Arai Sae-chan.
How is it for the growth of the 19-year-olds?
Well, of course it's been completed since the announcement, but now that I look at it, everyone is shining so brightly!
And this year, we did a tour together in the summer of '17, '18 and '19.
Oh, that's right!
I think it's because of everyone's unity that AKB was able to create a new wind!
Oh, that's great!
I'm happy!
Thank you very much!
Now, I'd like to announce the best award we've been waiting for!
Please pay attention to the middle screen!
Here it is!
Yes! As a trophy and reward!
Yes!
Please eat a lot!
Girls are expensive now! Thank you!
I'd like to explain why Momoka Ito was chosen.
From Sato Airi-san...
"I was watching the drama 'Hoshikuzu Telepath' and I felt like an amazing girl came in."
What was it? There's a space language, right?
That's right!
Also, Chiba Erii-san.
I'm sure you've done a lot of songs that you've never done at a Korean festival, and you must have been confused, but you practiced a lot and did your best!
Thank you!
And also, Mukaichi Mion-san.
Mion-san!
In the pressure of being chosen for various things, your singing, dancing, and acting are always above expectations with qualities you don't expect from Rookies!
I'm so happy!
All of you were selected as Rookies!
Itomomo, please tell us how you feel now.
I'm so happy that I received so many words of encouragement.
I was able to choose all of you because of the fans, staff, Rookies, and seniors who always support me.
Thanks to all of you, I'm able to enjoy my activities now.
Thank you so much!
I'll do my best!
That was a great comment!
Thank you, Itomomo!
Let's move on! Here is the next show!
Why wasn't I chosen?
Why?
Hiyoka is funny of course,
but no one wrote her name.
That's weird!
This time, out of the 10 members, the staff chose "funnyしてnoー" as the performance name.
Please enjoy the performance of "funnyしてnoー"!
It's been a while. It's the first time that a new performance was held properly.
Eto-san! Eto-san! Thank you!
Looking at your facial expressions, I can somehow tell you the reason.
Among them, Sato Airi-chan.
Yes! That's right!
Even at the performance the other day, you said you were chosen.
That's right.
You're curious about who voted for you, right?
I'm really curious about it.
Who is it?
Actually, the members who voted for Airi-chan are among us.
Who is it?
Oh?
A bear!
I'll read it for you.
She appeared in "Hoshikuzu Telepass" and worked as a center of "Koi Tsunjatta".
She did a lot of things and I thought she was amazing!
Eh? Eh?
What does "amazing" mean?
Isn't it because Kairi-chan is funny?
Ai-chan, I'll give you this.
Um...
Please don't.
That's how it is but...
Among us, there is someone who is the best!
Please pay attention to the screen in the middle!
The best is this person!
In order for you to liven up the dressing room more than ever before, we have set up a wireless speaker!
Thank you very much!
Congratulations!
Thank you very much!
Can I introduce the reason for this?
Let's start with Eriko Hashimoto.
At the dressing room, Sora Yamazaki asked me, "Eriko, what flavor of Frappuccino did you make?"
When I said, "Strawberry!"
Manaka-san said, "Strawberry? Isn't it just strawberry?"
Do you remember that?
The episode was too heavy for me.
That's true.
But out of many reasons, we chose this one.
There weren't many reasons.
There are still many reasons.
But the senior members said, "Murayama Yuri-san, I think it's amazing that you can turn funny into laughter, whether it's funny or slippery!"
I see.
If it wasn't for "best funny," I would have beaten you up with this.
That's scary!
But you put all of your hair into this wig, don't you?
That's amazing!
Is it New Year's Day today?
That's right! Today is December 31st.
How do you feel now?
It feels good.
As expected!
Recently, Hiyuka has been playing "dark horse."
"Dark horse!"
I thought I couldn't lose, so I put all of my hair into it.
That's frustrating! I wanted to do it, too!
You did?
You looked like you wanted to do it.
And about the costumes...
The four of you said it yourself, didn't you?
Yes! They asked me to do it with this color-coded wig, and I said, "If you're going to do it, do it seriously."
Seriously?
"If you're going to do it, do it seriously."
You asked for it?
I asked for it.
Did you hope for that costume?
Isho-san chose it for me.
But I wanted to wear the strongest one.
It's perfect for you.
You're an old lady from Osaka, aren't you?
That's right! Thank you!
That's great!
What AKB members lack now is their cuteness.
You said it!
Yes, we lack it.
I'll say it next. I'll do it!
You really want to do it, don't you?
Why? Why?
You can't do it, can you?
What about you, Sae-chan?
I'm fine!
I'd like you to do it, too.
Yes, I'd like you to do it.
I'd like you to grow up as young people.
I'll award you with this award in 2025.
Thank you!
Congratulations, Manaka-san!
As expected of AKB48!
Let's move on to the next one.
The next one is...
this one!
Wow, this is great! And here are the nominees!
So, this time, we have chosen the one that we admire the most as a woman.
Among the 12 shows, we have chosen the one that we would be happy if we could win.
It seems like we will have a performance focusing on the nominees.
So, please have a look!
Here you go!
"Only for me"
As a woman, there are 10 members you admire the most.
It's a little different from the "funny show" earlier, but it was as if the stage had changed and it was gorgeous.
It was wonderful.
Now, I'd like to hear some of your impressions.
Ms. Serika, how do you feel about being admired as a woman?
I'm honored.
But you've stopped being a white-bearded character, haven't you?
No, I'm not a character.
Really? Really?
How do you feel now?
I'm very happy.
This show has a special feeling, doesn't it?
That's right.
I'm happy just to be nominated. Thank you.
That's great.
It looks like a good year is coming.
That's right. It's a good year.
Now, among them, there is the best award.
Now, I will announce it.
I'm happy. I said "beautiful" and posted my beauty information on Instagram, so I like beauty and I've been doing it a lot this year, but I don't think everyone knows about it, but I'm very happy to receive this award.
Thank you very much.
Congratulations.
Amazing.
Thank you.
There are many reasons for it.
What is it?
From Hanada Mei-chan, "When I saw Furi-san in 'Azatokute nani ga warui no?' I thought, 'This cuteness is what I always see!'"
So it's not different from your acting?
It's too different from my daily life.
Eh?
So in 'Azatokute nani ga warui no?' you weren't acting, you were just being yourself?
It was close.
Oh, it was close.
But it was a bit rough.
But there were many members who watched it and were happy.
Everyone watched it.
Thank you very much.
Also, Masai Mayu-san.
"Even before joining AKB, I've been admiring you."
"Even after joining AKB, I've been practicing a lot of choreography in my spare time and reading scripts."
"Seeing you like this, my admiration and respect for you have increased."
That's right.
That's right. Yuyu-san, you seem like you're spending a lot of time in your spare time.
Really, you're always stoic and always aiming for the top. You're really cool.
You're cool.
Eh, what do I do? What do I do about being praised like this?
I feel like I'm going to melt.
I'm sorry.
Anyway, Yuyu-san, congratulations!
Thank you!
You've won many awards, but we haven't done anything yet, have we?
We haven't won anything... We haven't even been nominated!
That's true!
Anyway, I'd like to announce the next award!
Here it is!
These are the members we think are the most stylish.
And last year's Best Dresser Award was awarded to Yuki Hirata.
Will she win the award for the second consecutive year?
Really? For the second year in a row?
Now, we'd like to move on to the performance, focusing on the nominated members.
Now, we have 11 fashionable leaders representing the modern AKB48.
Their outfits are so fashionable. They look good together.
It's the same as before, though.
They look so bright and shiny.
Now, Ms. On, you've been chosen.
Oh, me?
Yes, how do you like it?
Well, up until now, I've been nominated for the Best MC award, or for being a member of a group like "Nakani Shichiori-san" or "Taguchi Manaka-san".
I've often been standing in a line like this.
It's the first time I've been nominated for such a shiny award.
Well, you're funny, too.
I'm not hiding it, though.
It's wonderful. Everyone is so shiny.
Now, Ms. Hirata, you've been nominated again this year.
I'm so happy. I won the award last year, so I'd like to win it again this year.
Now, I'd like to announce the Best MC award.
My heart is pounding.
The Best MC award goes to...
M-one?
Yes, M-one.
Wow!
So, as a trophy and award, we will give you a common product right to buy the best dress in the world!
We wanted to do it for two years, but there are a lot of stylish members, and we didn't do it last year, so we are happy about it!
That's great!
It's the award we wanted the most.
That's great!
Thank you very much!
Congratulations!
Let's hear the reason why you are interested in it.
Well, there were a lot of votes from the members who were nominated for the Best Dresser Award.
I see!
It seems that stylish people also pay attention to it.
What is it?
Sakoyume-mi-chan said, "I've only seen cute clothes before!"
That's true!
Lesson clothes are also stylish, aren't they?
I've never seen you in casual clothes before.
That's right!
I always dress like pajamas in my lessons, but it's completely different!
We are reflected in the mirror!
It's embarrassing to stand next to you!
That's right!
You are stylish!
And Hatakeyama Nozomi-san said, "I've been asked this question for years, but I can answer it quickly!"
You are the most stylish!
I'm embarrassed!
Thank you!
I'm happy!
Also, Takuchi Manaka-san said, "First of all, your face is stylish!"
What's wrong with you?
Your face is a lump of stylishness.
It's true that you look different from your face!
You look like a brand!
I'm happy!
That's great!
Well, I see.
Do you have anything you want to say in the future?
I love fashion, so I want to be more stylish in the future!
That's cute!
That's great!
If you become more stylish than you are now, you won't be able to keep up with fashion.
I want you to be in an apparel brand!
Ah!
I think it would be nice if you could work with a producer!
I want to do it someday!
Really?
What kind of things do you want to produce?
I want to design my own clothes!
Wow!
You collaborated with others, didn't you?
That's right!
That's great!
I have high expectations for you in the future!
That's right!
You can do it!
Well...
Hirata Yuki-chan, congratulations!
Congratulations!
Once again, the best dresser award goes to...
Hirata Yuki-chan for two consecutive years!
Congratulations!
Two years in a row is amazing, isn't it?
It's amazing, isn't it?
Well then...
Shall we announce the next award?
The next award is...
Wonderful!
This award is for AKB48's "PEAR (といえば)".
First of all, let's welcome them!
Thank you for coming all the way here!
Let's introduce them!
Let me introduce you from the end!
Remi Tokunaga and Hiyuka Sagagawa of RemiHill Pair!
Congratulations!
Tessaho Iwata and Yuri Murayama of Pension Sisters!
Pension Sisters!
What a cute name!
Yuri Murayama and Myon Makaichi of Yuu-on Pair!
Yuri and two people!
Wow, Yuri!
She is loved!
Narumi Kurano and Miyu Shitao of NARUTO Pair!
NARUTO Pair!
Applause!
Yui Oguri and Mizuki Yamauchi of YUIZUKI Pair!
Next, Maho Omori and Maho Eri of Chiba Eri!
Next, Takachi Manaka and Suzuki Kurumi's Manamiru!
They're fans of Suzuki Kurumi!
We're in good terms!
Next, Hotei Maka and Hashimoto Eriko's Hotei Eri!
Oh my, that's so soothing! So cute!
And then, Akiyama Yuna and Yagi Azuki's Yunaaz!
Yunaaz! That's great!
Oh my!
And then, Takarashi Arane and...
Don't you have a team name?
No, we don't.
Oh my!
Wait a minute.
We've never named our team, but who came up with it?
That's true!
I'm curious!
Who was it?
Since we're here, why don't we give you a team name?
I've been thinking about it.
Oh my!
I've been thinking about two things.
The first one is "Ayaseri".
Oh, "Ayaseri".
The second one is "Serine".
"Serine".
I can't decide.
It's like "Marine".
I can hear "Serine, Serine" from here.
"Serine"?
"Serine".
"Serine"?
"Serine".
It's like "Marine".
It's lower.
"Serine"?
"Serine".
It's decided!
Now that "Serine" has also been decided, we will announce the best pair award!
We will!
I bit it.
Here we go!
The best pair award goes to...
It's an award, Naruto-san!
It's really wonderful!
And so, for these two, the trophy and the award goes to...
JTV!
Congratulations!
Can I ask you how you feel?
This is my first time winning a trophy.
I've never been in a general election before.
And I've never been in a show like this before.
And I'm so happy to win a trophy like this.
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
How about you, Nara?
Yes, that's right.
I think a lot of people have been watching us edit our videos.
And I'm so happy that a lot of people are watching us.
We're still doing YouTube on our Naruto channel.
So we'd love it if you could check it out!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Now, we'd like you two, who won the trophy, to sing that song for us.
Please sing it for us!
Thank you!
Congratulations!
As expected of you, Nartao!
That's right!
This time, there's been a difference of more than double the number of votes!
I'm sure you can say that you're satisfied with the result.
It was overwhelming!
That's right!
But TikTok and all of that has been started recently, hasn't it?
Yes, yes.
I'm sure you're satisfied with it.
But Hiyaka, you've already been nominated.
That's right!
How about you, Remihyu?
I think I'll do it next year.
That's great.
I'd like to find a partner, too.
That's right!
San-chan!
Do you have someone in mind?
I don't have anyone in mind.
You don't have anyone in mind!
What?
What about me?
What?
Don't you want to be someone?
Well...
But...
I'm too shy.
Why?
But I'd like to find a partner, too.
That's right!
It depends on today's compatibility.
I'm scared!
You're trying to test me!
I'll do my best!
Let's do our best together!
It's reassuring.
I'm happy!
Yes!
Then, let's watch NARUTAO-san's performance!
Yes!
Then...
Let's watch it!
Thank you for listening to her tears! Thank you very much!
We would like to announce the next award!
First of all, we would like to announce the nominees.
This is the best manner award.
Here it is!
I'm sorry, I'm not used to this.
Let's take a look at the nominees. Here it is!
There are a lot of nominees.
The Best Manners Award is for nominees who are good at greeting, cleaning up, and keeping time.
Let's take a look at the performances of the nominees.
Including me and Sae-chan...
On behalf of AKB48...
Mizumin!
Yes!
How do you feel about being chosen?
But...
I'm very happy that you told me that I'm good at it, and I want to do my best to be chosen next year as well.
Oh, that's nice.
The best...
I'd like you to introduce it.
Yes, it's from Takahashi Ayane.
"You always help me with lessons and cleaning up the dressing room,"
"and you say hello with a loud voice and look me in the eye clearly,"
"so I learned not to forget that part, too."
That's right. When I entered the dressing room, I heard Mei Mei's greeting echoed a lot.
"Good morning!"
Where did you learn it?
Well, you know...
The society is very kind, so I thought I should be kinder.
You were thinking about it.
There were a lot of comments like that.
From Chiba Erii-san...
"She's greeting me like I'm going to die."
"Like I'm going to die?"
"She's in a different room, but she's coming over and greeting me."
"That's so nice of her!"
And from Yamauchi Mizuki-san...
"We're all in our 19s, but Mei Mei's greeting is especially loud."
"Every time we pass each other, it leaves an impression on me."
What do you think, Mei Mei?
I've never received so much praise for my greetings in my life.
I'm glad I kept doing it.
I want to continue doing more things.
And so, once again, Mei Mei, congratulations!
It's nice. Mei Mei, you look brighter.
Right? The atmosphere is nice.
It's nice.
So, can we move on to the next show?
Yes!
The next show is...
This one!
Here are the nominees!
This time, we chose the members who we think will support and rely on us the most.
There are many people who supported me a lot this year.
I hope you can see the performance centered around these members.
Yes!
Then...
Please!
From 18th generation and 19th generation...
How about it, Yumemi Sako?
I'm very happy that you chose me as one of your supporters.
That's one of your supporters, too! Congratulations!
Now, I will announce the best supporter award!
The best supporter award goes to...
Let me tell you why.
Ms. Hirota Yuki brought us here as a show conductor and came to see our performance.
I feel reassured when Ms. Naru is here.
I'm happy.
Ms. Yagiyazuki, you told us about the angles and movements of AKB48.
I feel relieved when Ms. Naru is here.
Yay!
Ms. Hashimoto Haruna brought us here as a show conductor and came to see our performance.
Yay!
That's right.
Wow!
By the way, we've been to many places.
Ms. Naru brought us here.
On the contrary, it's Ms. Naru who brought us here.
Is that so?
It's Ms. Naru.
I've never heard of it.
It's Ms. Naru who brought us here.
I'm happy.
What do you think, Ms. Naru?
I didn't expect to win.
I'm happy and surprised.
I've been talking with many members for a year.
I hope we can get along with you next year.
That's great.
Who would you like to invite?
I'd like to invite shaved ice.
Shaved ice.
Can we use it?
I'm sure we can.
I'd like to invite up to four members.
I see.
Who are you thinking about?
I'd like to invite the three members who just left comments.
Wow!
We're happy about it.
We're happy about it, too.
We're happy about it.
You can say it with your own money.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Ms. Naru, congratulations!
Congratulations!
You want to eat shaved ice, don't you?
Yes, I do.
When we went to Sendai, Ms. Naru said she liked it and wanted to eat it.
I just want to eat shaved ice now.
Let's have two people from NARUCHILL come with you next time.
Yes, let's go to NARUCHILL.
Let's go to NARUCHILL.
Now, I'd like to announce the next award.
Here is the next award!
I think AKB48 is the best way of using SNS!
It's true that there are a lot of people who have a strong image of SNS, but please watch the performance centered around these nominated members!
Here you go!
Now, Eri! You have been chosen for the SNS award, how do you feel?
It's amazing!
You have been chosen for the award, it means you are being watched, right?
That's right. I'm very happy.
So you can't post weird photos?
I can't.
I might write weird things.
No, no.
But I've been feeling shy lately.
I'm scared.
Thanks to this award, I've been nominated many times.
That's right.
Now, next to you, Harpyon!
How is it? How do you use SNS? Is there anything you're particular about?
I started streaming every day.
That's right.
It's finally been 5 years and 2000 days!
I've become a showroomer.
You've become a showroomer.
Yes.
But it's wonderful.
Thank you very much.
Then we will announce the best award here as well!
The best!
Best!
SNS!
I'm curious about the reasons.
Especially from Remi-san.
Instagram and X-ray photos are all so cute.
Especially the way you use Instagram is wonderful.
Do you have anything you're particular about?
I'm particular about Instagram.
I want to make it look different from the latest posts.
I'm particular about facial expressions and angle of view.
Hair style and clothes color are also different.
I want to wear something different from the last post.
I'm particular about that.
If it's a picture of me in peace, I'll give you anything.
I'm particular about the poses.
You put in a lot of effort.
That's right.
I'm proud of you.
Any other reasons?
From Itou Momoka-chan.
Every time you post a cute and stylish picture, I can't help but like it.
When I asked you before, you said you took a lot of selfies for X-ray.
I thought it was even more wonderful.
I see.
So you're not only thinking about Instagram, you're also thinking about X-ray.
I'm thinking about posting a picture like this on my SNS.
You're changing it.
Yes, I'm changing it.
Every time you post a picture like this on your SNS, I can't help but like it.
When I post a picture like this, I like it and like it.
I want to vote for you.
Recently, I noticed you posted about hair care on your SNS.
I posted about hair care recipes.
I got an offer for shampoo.
Wow!
That's amazing!
Your SNS power has led you to work.
I was surprised and happy.
I'm sure you'll be posted on your SNS again.
I'll do my best.
That's amazing!
You're wearing a straight hair today.
You're right!
It's so smooth!
That's amazing!
I can only say "that's amazing!"
That's great!
By the way, you said you're going on a trip.
Is there a place you'd like to go on a trip?
I'd like to go to a place with a beautiful sea.
Even though it's winter.
But you'll definitely look good in a sea bag.
And you're wearing fashionable clothes for a dresser show.
That's right!
It was a set!
Was it a lottery?
It was a lottery.
That's great!
Please take a picture of you in the sea in winter.
Please show it to everyone again.
Yes, I will. Please look forward to it.
Congratulations, Hirate!
Thank you!
That's great!
You won two awards!
That's amazing!
That's what the members want, isn't it?
That's right!
That's great!
Now, I'd like to announce the next award!
The next award is...
These are the members who received this award!
These are the members who are the best dancers!
Yuri Murayama, Narumi Kurano, Miyu Shitao, Misaki Yamauchi, Yuna Akiyama, Yui Yamaguchi, and Sori Shiratori!
Wow! From their names, they're all dancers!
- Their line-up is amazing! - Wow!
- Now, let's see their performance! - Let's see their performance, focusing on dancing!
- It's hard to perform "nemohamoluma" in a main show like this, isn't it? - That's true!
- And there's a huge gap between us. - Yeah, yeah.
- And you know, "nemohamoluma" is one of my...
"danced" "danced" "danced" with hashtags, and then "eh, is it a crab dance?"
What's going on?!
It's a difficult song, but it was very cool.
And the 18th generation was also dancing in public.
Yes, we were the first generation of 18th century researchers to dance in public.
But since then, Yamaguchi Yui, who is still dancing in the center, has been dancing a lot.
But I think she's dancing even better today.
She was dancing more than Ponytail, wasn't she?
Yes, she was.
It was amazing.
Sae-chan, can you dance?
Yes, I can!
I can dance!
I see.
I'm not a crab dancer.
Don't say that!
Don't say it like that!
It's not enough.
There are quite a lot of members who are researchers, like Shirotori Sari-chan, who have been nominated.
It's amazing, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
It's amazing that even young people can dance so well.
Now, let's call up the nominated members!
Thank you for your hard work!
It was so cool!
It was the best!
Thank you very much!
Now, Sari-chan!
Yes!
How do you feel about being chosen?
I'm really happy to be named with such amazing seniors.
Thank you very much!
Congratulations!
It was amazing!
Now, everyone was amazing, but there is also the best among them!
Now, let me announce it!
The best is this person!
Yui-chan wants Yamaguchi Yui's sneaker!
Yamaguchi Yui's sneaker!
Please buy it!
Thank you.
Let's ask her why she's interested in it.
Yes, I'd like to know.
Let's start with Serika from Nagano.
"When Yukiirin had her graduation concert,"
"she was dancing "river" in front of me,"
"and I was impressed that there are members who can dance "river" so well."
I'm happy.
It's true.
Yuichi is good at dancing light and cool.
Yes, she is.
And Yuichi's only admirer, Ogari Yui.
She's simple and good!
She's a dancer, but her skills are solid.
What do you think, Yuichi?
I'm happy. Thank you.
I'm happy, too.
Thank you.
I'm happy, too.
Yui dances a lot and pulls us, too.
How do you like it?
It's amazing.
I danced in the center of "nemohamoluma" this time.
I didn't expect that I would be selected for this dance show.
I'm really happy. Thank you.
Congratulations!
Please continue to attract people with your dance!
Thank you!
Wonderful!
Even the first-year students are winning prizes!
I think it's amazing!
Let's announce the next prize!
Here is the next prize!
Yui Murayama, Narumi Kurano, Kurumi Suzuki, Manaka Takuchi, and Hina Narita will win this prize!
I'm so excited!
I'm looking forward to their performance!
Let's listen to their beautiful voices!
Here we go!
"またあなた" (mata anata)
Yes, I tried to sing "ハモリオ" (hamorio) in this song, but it was decided yesterday.
And Mr. Taguchi taught me how to sing "ハモリオ" (hamorio) and I recorded it with my cell phone.
I was very happy and proud that there are so many people in the group who can sing higher.
I've been wondering about it for a long time, but can't you fix my name?
My name has always been different since I got used to it.
I'm sorry.
There was a member of the same generation as me in the video, but she didn't say it.
What?
I don't know if she didn't say it because she noticed it, but I'd like to ask her about it later.
Oh my!
Please fix my name.
Yes, I'll rewrite it later. I'm sorry.
Please fix it.
Yes, I'll rewrite it.
That's also a problem, isn't it?
Now, I'd like to announce the best singer in the group.
Everyone was really good.
Everyone is the best singer in the group, but...
I'm glad. You know...
Yes?
Ever since I performed as an idol group, I've been nominated, but I've never sang a song.
That's right!
You've been standing in line for a long time.
I've always been next to you, so I'm glad.
I'm glad you've been nominated.
I think my singing skills have improved as a second place this year, so I'd like to continue singing in the future.
Thank you very much!
Congratulations!
Then I will also introduce the reason.
From Iwatate Sao-san...
"Your voice is really wonderful."
"You're so good at singing, but you're still practicing in the park."
"I love your dedication."
That's what it means!
Thank you!
Yes, and from Yamazaki Sora-san...
"When you were performing at a festival, you had a stable voice."
"Even though we perform together, it's amazing and I'm moved!"
That's what it means!
Thank you!
"No matter what you say now, even if you're an idol, even if you're singing live, you'll be so nervous!"
"Your voice is so dignified and powerful!"
"It's amazing!"
"What are you talking about?"
"No, you're so cool!"
Thank you!
"In this album, you're singing as a solo designer."
Thank you!
"It's wonderful!"
Thank you!
You're so kind!
Thank you, everyone!
Congratulations!
Well, then...
Congratulations!
Thank you!
You're amazing!
I don't know what to say!
Thank you!
You've been thinking about what to say for a long time, haven't you?
No, no, no!
I'm just saying what I think!
But I also voted for you, Yuuri-san!
Me too!
Thank you!
Please do your best from now on, too!
I'll do my best!
Thank you!
You're so considerate, too!
Yes, you're right!
I'll award you with "consideration award"!
"Consideration award"!
Thank you!
That's right!
Thank you!
Well, then...
Yuuri-san, congratulations!
Thank you!
Well, we had a lot of votes so far.
So far, it was a vote between members.
What is it?
Next, let's take a look at this show.
What is it?
It's called "MVP".
The person in charge chose it?
That's right.
The person in charge, who is usually involved in AKB48's work,
chose the member who I think was the brightest this year.
Wow!
Then, let's take a look at the nominated members.
Akiyama Yuna-chan, Kudako Somi-chan, Kubo Hinano-chan, Nari Takohi...
No, I'm sorry, Nari Takohi Nina-chan!
I'll rewrite it! It's Itou Momoka-chan!
I'm so happy!
I'm so happy to be recognized as an adult!
I'm so happy!
But your hard work has led you to this result.
Now, I'd like to announce the MVP who received the most votes among all of you!
It's the luxurious dinner incident of AKB48!
Wow, this is a lot of food!
The reason for that is also...
I want to know!
The reason is from Kadokawa's Nogihara-san.
First Photo Book "Suki ni Naru Yokan" was released in October of this year.
It became a big topic and through personal work, it also contributed to the group's fame, so we chose it!
Thank you very much!
That's right, the photo book was really really good!
Right, Hiyoka-chan's shocked face!
It was really great!
I was really happy!
That's right, I think the photo book was the biggest event.
Other than that, from Tokumei Kibo-san,
you've been a radio main and a DJ for a year, and I have the impression that you've always been busy.
Also, I think your talk has become a lot more interesting this year!
Really?
I'm receiving a lot of love, how is it?
I'm really happy!
Only this related MVP did I know about today.
That's right!
But...
I really didn't think I'd be called...
Huh?
I didn't think I'd be called...
I was waiting alone in the corner of the dressing room,
wondering who would be called.
I was listening like a stranger.
But I'm really happy!
Thank you so much for choosing me!
Congratulations!
I did it!
Once again, Yamauchi Mizuki-san, congratulations!
Thank you!
See you next year!
We'll do our best!
Now, I will announce it.
Among all members of AKB48,
this year...
you have appeared in quite a number of videos.
Yes, thank you very much.
Well then, Nijuki-chan will present you a trophy and an award.
Yes, Kururun-san will receive a massage sword for a year's hard work.
Suzuki Kurumi-san, in addition to today's performance, you were on the show 102 times!
Thank you!
How do you feel now?
I've been in and out of the theater a lot, and I've been taking good care of myself.
I've always been in first place, but I've never been in first place and I've always been frustrated.
I've been out and about a lot this year!
And when you came out as my out-and-out substitute, you memorized not one part of "full performance" but one part of "symposy" in one day!
That's amazing!
Isn't it iron-hearted?
I'm not praising you for being "iron-hearted".
That's amazing!
I'm happy about it.
But you praised me so much that I couldn't believe it.
I was like, "If you're going to praise me like that, I'll do it again!"
That's cool!
But I felt like I shouldn't do it because I wasn't feeling well after that.
But the theater is really fun and I want to stand in front of it a lot.
2025 will also be a lot of years, so please continue to support me!
That's wonderful! Congratulations!
Congratulations!
I did it!
That's great!
But Kurumi-san...
Yes?
Standing in front of the theater...
But in the theater...
How do you say it?
In the theater...
Isn't it here?
I don't know what to say!
But winning an award in a theater with memories...
Isn't it great?
Not only in a new theater...
That's right!
Even for first-time members...
That's right!
It's been a year since the theater became popular.
I feel like it's been a year.
And I won first place at that age.
It's one of my greatest memories.
That's wonderful!
Everyone was happy and clapped for me.
It's kind of warm in a theater.
From now on, I want to make the new theater a warmer place.
That's right!
I want to make AKB's house my home.
That's wonderful!
Eh? What do you mean "home"?
That's wonderful!
You two are so mischievous!
That's not true!
That's the truth!
You're working hard!
That's wonderful!
Thank you!
This year, it was 102 times.
Do you have any goals for next year?
Next year...
It will be 103 times!
Now, it's time for the last announcement of the day!
The last announcement is...
And now, here are the nominate members!
Mayuma Yui, Oguri Yui, Kurano Onarumi, Mutou Rin, Yamauchi Mizuki, Sato Airi, Hashimoto Erika, Masai Mayu, Yagi Azuki, Yamaguchi Yui!
I'm looking forward to it!
It's amazing!
And I think this person was the brightest this year by voting between the members!
Yes, I'm looking forward to who will be MVP, but after this is a performance featuring MVP nominated members!
Well then...
Please look forward to it!
How do you like it?
This year, we had a new theater and a new performance.
It was a year of change for AKB.
It was also a year when our feelings came together.
With these wonderful MVPs...
Why are you laughing at me?
No, no, no!
We asked for your help.
This year was also a great year for us.
We hope we can make it a great year next year.
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Finally, we will announce the MVPs.
Are you ready?
Yes!
Please pay attention to the middle screen!
AKB48 AWARD MEMBER OF THE YEAR 2024
The members will choose...
This year's most shining...
Best...
MV!
AKB48 has won twice in a row in various places, and I've always thought that winning twice in a row is wonderful, and I was wondering if I could win twice in a row this time as well, but I thought it was impossible, so I'm very shocked and happy. Thank you very much!
Well then, from the 20th grade researchers, as a trophy and reward, thank you very much!
From Tomi-san, drama, variety...
Even on the stage, you're always perfect and you're so cool!
That's how it is!
Thank you! I'm happy!
Yes!
Please go ahead.
You, Chimizuki-san...
Ah, I'm sorry!
Go ahead!
Even though you had a busy schedule, you didn't show your tired expressions and you were always perfect and you were an iron man!
I respect you!
That's how it is!
I'm sorry for the members who were chosen for the MVP and for the members who were not chosen for the MVP.
But I think that everyone chose me like this because I think I'm showing you a good back.
I will do my best to show you a good back in the future, and I myself want to grow and liven up AKB more and more.
In order to liven up AKB and for me, I will work harder and harder in 2025! Thank you for the wonderful award!
Congratulations!
Congratulations to Oguri for winning the grand prize!
That's all for AKB48 AWARD member of the year!
Hiyuka and Sae-chan, thank you for your hard work.
Your tempo is good, your voice is clear, and your tension is high!
I think it was a wonderful show with an award just before it.
Thank you for your hard work!
This is the third AWARD, which has become an annual event at the end of the year.
Just by looking at this award, you can see each member's individuality, and you can look back on this and that.
As AKB48, in 2024, the theater will be renewed, and a new theater will open, and a new performance will begin for the first time in about nine years.
I think it's been a really big and mysterious year.
And finally, next year will be the 20th anniversary.
I hope we can continue to liven up AKB48 from now on.
And I hope we can become a group that you can love.
We members will do our best once!
With that in mind, please let me sing you a song!
"ここからだ"
Thank you for listening to "ここからだ".
After this, with gratitude for this year, we will send you off as a whole group.
Please wait in your seat until you are guided by someone you know.
Let's say our final greetings!
And we also won "Best Supporter Award".
We are nominated every year, but we have never been selected for the highest priority.
I am very happy that we were able to win two awards like this.
We are still inexperienced, so I don't know if we can still support everyone we want to support.
As a general director, I will do my best for the show and I will do my best for the Naruto channel as well.
Thank you very much!
We thought a lot about AKB in 2024, so I'm glad we thought a lot about AKB.
We received a pack called "respect", so we wanted to be more "beautiful".
We want to be more "beautiful" and release more songs.
It's a very expensive pack, so we want to use it from the new year and become more beautiful!
Thank you very much!
