Now, Steel Cameras, please refrain from taking flash photos from now on.
We look forward to working with you.
Now, I would like to announce the group name that everyone is curious about.
What kind of group name is it?
The group name of the official rival of Mugizaka46 is...
The name of the group is...
What do you think?
I don't know if it's against your expectations or not, but...
Once again, I would like to read out the feelings I have for the name of the group.
Everyone had a dream when they were young.
It was a wish that they wanted to be like this when they grew up.
When they grow up and realize the gap between ideal and reality, they will no longer talk about their dreams.
When did we forget to give up?
Certainly, dreams are far away, and there may be various obstacles to grasping them.
But dreams are always ahead.
There is a blue sky beyond the clouds.
They will make their debut from now on.
Believing in the blue sky in the darkness before dawn.
We, who have grown up, have given up before we knew it.
But I want them to see it.
The blue sky I wanted to see.
Please support them.
Management staff, Ichido.
That's it.
Once again, the name of the group has been announced, but how about Hori Yanagi and Yoshimoto-san?
Yes, I thought there were numbers on it, but I would be happy if you could call me Ao.
I'm Hori Yanagi.
We haven't been able to see the blue sky yet because of the rain and typhoons.
From now on, I would like to grow as a group that is not ashamed of the name of this group so that we can see the blue sky.
Thank you.
Now, I would like to announce the debut of the blue sky that I wanted to see.
The CD debut date was decided on August 30, 2023.
The title of the debut song is Think About the Blue Sky.
It is a song written by Yasushi Akimoto, who was entrusted with the group name.
And the center of the debut song is Toa Yagi.
Yagi-san, how do you feel about being the center for the first time?
Well, I feel the pressure, but I think this group is a team of 23 people, so I hope we can work hard together.
As Towa-chan said earlier, we are a group of 23 people, so we would like to create the strongest teamwork to support Towa-chan.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Now, let's talk about this debut single, Aozora.
Reservation will start at 6 p.m. today.
There will also be a debut anniversary event and an online talk show for CD buyers.
For more information, please check the official website.
Now, the members have debuted in three months since they passed the audition, so I think they've been working hard every day.
Hayasaki-san, how are you feeling now?
It's my first time, so I'm nervous every day, but everyone is doing their best.
Every scene is really fun, and I feel like I'm sending a new youth to 23 people, so I'd be happy if you could watch it with me.
I'm looking forward to talking to everyone in Japan at the event.
I hope we can meet a lot of fans in the future.
In addition, a part of the debut song Aozora will be pre-streamed on TikTok from 6 p.m. today.
Let's listen to the sound source here as soon as possible.
Please.
Now I'm already surrounded by people
Even the sun I was aiming for
I lost sight of it
The me I had forgotten
I remember it and take it with me
I understand the future far away
Oh...
Thank you very much.
You all seemed to be having fun,
but why don't you listen to this debut song again?
Yes, I'm Aoki.
I just remembered what I felt when I first heard this song at the training camp.
Aya-chan, what do you think?
Yes, I'm Nishimori.
Until a while ago,
we were all girls who lived a normal life.
I can't believe I'm here.
It's like I'm still dreaming.
But with these 23 people,
I want to give you dreams and hope.
Please look forward to the full version.
Before that, Rian, please go ahead.
I'm Akita.
Listening to my debut song again, I feel like I'm getting closer to completion.
There are a lot of things that I can sympathize with in the lyrics of this song,
so I think a lot of people will enjoy it.
That's right. There are a lot of things that I can sympathize with in this song,
so I hope you'll pay attention to that and enjoy it.
Next, it's a bit far, but Riko, please go ahead.
I'm Iwamoto.
When I was taking a dance lesson,
our singing voices suddenly flowed in front of me,
and I was so moved that I was about to cry,
but I did my best to dance.
That's right.
Miura-chan and Eren-chan were crying so hard.
Everyone was singing with tears in their eyes.
Finally, Nana-chan, how do you feel?
I'm Shirogama.
I feel like I'm finally getting closer to being an idol,
but I don't want to be satisfied with my current position,
but I want to be able to give someone courage and hope.
No, I will!
Thank you for your powerful words.
In addition to the pre-streaming,
the TikTok effect, the BokuAo Challenge, will also be delivered,
so I hope you can use the debut song to post on TikTok.
It will be released on August 30th.
We look forward to hearing from you about Aozora.
Thank you!
Now, I'd like to ask the members of BokuAo to tell us about their appealing points.
Everyone has written down their appealing points on a flipbook, so please get ready.
I'm curious to see what kind of appealing points you have.
Did you all get your flipbooks?
Now, let's say it together.
One, two, three, open!
Oh, there's a lot.
Let's start with Kudo-san.
Kudo-san's appealing point is the softness of his body.
Can you show us?
My appealing point is the softness of my body.
I can do a backflip, but I can't do it right now.
I'll do a front flip.
Now, Kudo-san, please.
Oh, great!
Your palms are perfectly on the floor.
Did you do anything you learned?
I learned how to dance.
That's why you're so flexible.
I do my best to stretch and make my body flexible.
Please continue to use your flexibility and dance well.
Yes.
Next, Akita-san.
Akita-san, please.
Akita-san, you wrote that you have energy and guts.
What does that mean?
I'm cute because I'm a twin.
I've been doing karate since I was a kid.
I think I have more energy and guts than anyone else.
Can you show me now?
Can I do it?
Please.
Wow!
Yes!
Great!
I heard a voice that I didn't expect to hear from Akita.
There's a gap.
You all have a lot of special skills, but I'm curious about Sunaga-san.
Sunaga-san, please give a big greeting and say thank you for today.
Yes.
When I'm on set or when I'm with people, I always say hello in a loud voice.
Also, each member writes a diary every day.
I always write a thank you to the person who said thank you for today.
That's it.
Thank you for your cuteness.
Can you say thank you to everyone in a loud voice?
Thank you!
Thank you very much.
I think the people in the back seats got it.
I wanted to hear more, but since it's time, I'd like to use this opportunity to let everyone know more.
That's it for the Nogizaka 46 official rival member presentation.
Everyone, please continue to support the blue sky that I've always wanted to see.
To all the media who streamed live, let's end the stream here.
Thank you very much for today.
Well then...
