Hello everyone! I'm AKB48's Yagi Azuki!
Thank you for coming to AKB48's Gekijou Ganjitsu Kouen today!
I would like to make a few requests before we start.
Please do not stand on chairs or move seats during the show,
as it is dangerous and will be a nuisance for other guests.
It is prohibited to bring cameras and recording devices with you.
If you have one, please leave it with us.
Also, please make sure you put your mobile phones in manual mode.
The show will be held indoors.
Due to the circumstances of today's show, we will remove the emergency lights in the audience seats.
When the show starts, we will direct you to the shops and staff,
but please make sure you check the exits in advance.
This is our first time performing in a theater. We will do our best, so please have fun!
This has been AKB48's Yagiazuki!
This year, our research students will be hosting the first theater performance of the year.
Not only us, but 20th generation has also joined in!
16 members have joined in!
Oh, but speaking of which...
This year we have...
Heavy Metal!
As you can see, we AKB48 are moving fast...
What did you say? We are moving fast!
We will move fast and aim for the top!
I will introduce myself along with my self-introduction!
Last year, I turned 20 years old and I wanted to be an independent woman, but this year I want to have fun.
I have the image of laughing a lot, but when I'm in a good mood, I smile a lot.
I hope fans will see me like that! Let's have fun today! Thank you!
Can you introduce me? Please look forward to it!
I'm Yui Yamaguchi and I'm 18 years old.
I want to do my best and show my growth in front of my fans.
And I want you to feel my love for you.
My writing is like this.
This word has a meaning of cooperating with each other and creating an unfavorable situation or going through a new year.
This year is AKB48's 20th anniversary year, so I made this four-lettered language with the hope of working with all members and fans and moving forward for a year.
Thank you for your cooperation this year as well!
Yes! I will go with my writing! One, two!
I wrote "strong will".
Thank you.
I think my will was weak in 2020.
Really?
I heard that I will be 20 years old in 2025.
But I was born in February.
It's next year!
It's not yet!
I'm already 20 years old.
Isn't your will weak? Are you OK?
We made this word "strong will" so that we can make a lot of wonderful goals for you.
We will do our best this year as well. Thank you.
OK, let's go.
Azu.
Azu's order is...
This one?
Azu, what is it?
Azu's order is...
18th grade research student Azu.
Thank you very much.
My ambition for this year is...
I don't mind if it's a bad song, but in that sense...
It's difficult, isn't it?
It has that meaning, but...
I want to show it in various places...
"Wow, she's funny. She has this kind of expression."
I want to make this year a year where people will think like that!
Everyone, please smile a lot!
I'm glad you could laugh it off.
I'm glad!
Everyone is so kind!
Then I will also go.
I'm Judge Researcher Akiyama Ena.
This is what I wrote.
Ta-dah!
It says "the strongest smile". I want to do my best with the strongest smile I always say.
Actually, I wrote some difficult words last year.
But I think this is the most important for me.
If I don't say this, you may think I'm really tired.
I'm a person who laughs forever.
So I want to laugh a lot this year and make good memories with you. Thank you.
And I found out that "kinotomi no toshi" and "kinotomi" means to work hard one by one no matter what happens.
So I wrote this word because I want to work hard one by one this year and make good memories with you.
I'll do my best. Thank you.
Wow, you're different from funny people.
I thought about it very seriously.
Yes, and...
My goal for this year is...
I couldn't do it last year, so I want to bungee jump this year.
But before I do it, I want to break my shell and grow up like a snake.
Yes, yes, yes.
So I want to bungee jump and break my shell and grow up more and more.
I want to bungee jump with my seniors one day.
It's cute. Let's drop it and use it.
This year, I dyed my hair orange.
I have the least physical strength and muscle strength among AKB48 members, so I'm going to train as much as I die this year.
Thank you for having me!
My resolution for this year is...
Ta-dah!
The four of us have something special in mind.
First of all, why did we choose the word "evolve"?
I still have a lot of room for improvement,
so I wanted to share with you what I've improved this year.
That's why we chose the word "evolve".
And what this "invisible human" is...
You know, monkeys.
Invisible, human, monkey, human, monkey...
They become like this and become like this and become human.
Do you know what I mean?
That's why we chose "evolve" and "invisible human".
We are SALLY from AKB48 and SIROTOLI SALLY from AKB48.
My goal for this year is to be cheerful and energetic.
Just like these words, I want to say with you that it was fun to spend a year cheerfully and energetically. Thank you for your support this year as well.
I'm Kawamura Yui, and I'm a postgraduate student.
You're cute!
Thank you!
My goal for this year is...
to be healthy!
I thought about it for a long time, but I thought that nothing would start unless you are healthy, so I hope you and I can stay healthy for a year and stay healthy together. Thank you for your support this year as well!
Wow, I'm getting goosebumps.
Here we go!
Hello, I'm Kuro Okasumi and I'm an 18-year-old researcher.
My persimmon dye is...
Thank you. My persimmon dye is...
Ta-da!
I'm an invincible idol!
Thank you.
After all, invincible is invincible.
So I want this year to be a better year than 2024.
No enemies.
I want to make a lot of fun memories with you.
Please support me, Kasumi Kudo, again this year.
Thank you very much.
Kasumi, you said "enemy" wrongly.
What?
Are you okay with that?
You said "invincible" wrongly.
Oh, you're right!
What?
You said "enemy" wrongly.
Am I wrong?
You're not bad in real life.
I'm okay with that "invincible" part.
That's good.
Calculation?
Wait, I really made a mistake.
Okay, next.
I'm Yumemiko and Yumi Sakoyumi, and I'm a first-year research student.
Yumemiko and Yumi Sakoyumi!
I'll do my best posting on social media!
Hi, I'm Maruyama Hinata and I'm 19 years old.
My goal for this year is "do my best (always)".
At first, I wasn't sure if I should try it or not.
I had a lot of things I wanted to do, like dancing and singing, food reports and so on.
But first of all, I thought I should do my best no matter what I do.
So I posted "do my best (always)".
I'm Saki Kondo! Nice to meet you!
My goal for this year is...
I want to try many things this year and do my best to make you smile. Thank you!
We drew this and we would like to give it to you as a gift!
A song for you!
So in exchange for this year's amulet, please try to get it!
You don't know about this?
You don't know about this history?
Our legs are always swollen.
So, here we are!
I'm going to stab more and more swords and this time...
Let's do our best for our first try of the new year!
There will be three rounds in total, so we can get up to three people.
Let's get it for sure!
By the way...
You want to get it for sure, right?
By the way, even if everyone stabs, there is a possibility that no one will fly.
If no one flies in the first round, it will be a carryover.
What is it?
Yes, it's a carryover.
The number of people who fly out in the second round will also be added.
There is also a double chance.
Please come out.
Then I would like to do it right away.
Yes.
Who will go first?
We might get it right in one go.
That's right!
"Invincible Idols"
Let's hear it! "Tears Surprise"!
I'll hand it over to you. Please come closer.
Thank you.
We're running out of time.
The next song will be the last one.
Let's listen to it.
"Happy End".
Please wait in the audience until then!
And let's say goodbye for the first time this year...
Let's say goodbye for the first time this year...
It was very fun to be able to perform in front of you.
It was my first time doing a lot of songs, so I was very nervous, but I think I was able to perform happily with a lot of help from my seniors.
Thank you very much!
I think it's meaningful, so I will do my best to continue to pull AKB48 with all the researchers in the future.
