AISubs v3.6
Good evening, everyone. This is NMB48.
NMB48 10th Gen Audition Explanation Session!
Since the recruitment for the 10th Gen Audition has begun,
shall we introduce ourselves as four active members?
I'm Yamamoto Mikado, president of PTA.
And I'm Shiozuki Kate, vice president of PTA.
I'm Tanaka Ikino, vice president of PTA.
And I'm Aogora Oka, vice president of PTA.
The four of us will answer your questions.
If you have any questions or concerns about the audition,
we'd like to answer your questions in order to reduce your anxiety.
If you write your questions in the chat, we'll answer them later.
Let me explain about the 10th Gen Audition.
Please visit NMB48's official website.
Here is the message for the 10th Gen Audition.
Which one?
I'll read it.
From Osaka to the world,
In 2024, NBB48 will start activities from Osaka to the world.
People who are good at making the surroundings brighter,
People who have a nice smile,
With that bright smile and energy,
Let's make everyone around the world smile with us!
This character has a limit.
Yes.
This time, we'll talk about auditions while answering questions in real-time with you.
Yes.
Can you see us?
It says "Explanation session for the 10th Gen Audition" in the back, but we can't see you at all.
We can't see you! You're all white!
But we can see you a little bit.
Really?
Yes.
Can you see us?
My heart is a little...
We started with a weird character setting, but...
Let's explain about the auditions.
First of all, let's introduce ourselves one by one.
Yes.
We are...
Draft 3rd Generation!
Nice to meet you!
It's our 6th anniversary.
Congratulations!
Yes, it's our 7th anniversary.
I'm in my 8th year.
How many years has it been?
It's been 3 years for me.
It's been that long?
Yes, that's right.
We just celebrated our 2nd anniversary on January 1st, and it's been 3 years for me.
How about you, Wakata?
I'm in my 9th year.
It was our 1st anniversary on December 19th, and it's been 2 years for me.
Wow, it's been that long.
Time flies.
Wakata is still a newbie.
She's one of the first 10th-generation seniors.
I can't feel it when I think about it.
How about you, Wakata?
I'm excited and worried about whether I can be a senior.
Me, too.
How about you, Wakata?
I'm from various prefectures.
I'm from Hokkaido.
You don't have any members from Hokkaido?
Shion graduated from Hokkaido.
I don't have any members from Hokkaido now.
I'm looking for members from all over the world.
If you want to be an idol or do entertainment activities,
or if you're interested in those things,
I recommend you to take on this challenge.
Anyone can do it.
If you don't know what to do, you can do it.
I recommend you to do it.
That's right. Until now, Wakanda didn't have any members.
That's right.
Wakanda is the only Wakandan member in the Kansai area recently.
That's right.
I'm looking forward to seeing if Wakanda will join us as a tenth generation this time.
Why is that?
There's no particular reason.
Yes.
I'm looking forward to it from Mexico, too.
I'm looking forward to it from Fukuoka, too.
I'm looking forward to it from anywhere.
I'm looking forward to it from Kochi and Tokushima.
I'm looking forward to it from many places in North Korea.
I'm looking forward to it from Mikanyan and Yamaguchi.
What do you think?
What?
What is it?
Please introduce Wakanda.
Introduction?
Oh, there's someone who doesn't like Wakanda.
She's the host of the game.
Yes, she's been here since the beginning of the broadcast.
If you have any questions, I'll answer them.
I'll answer all the questions that the members can't answer.
I may not be able to answer them, either.
Yes.
Yes, please.
So, really...
That's right. Wakayama isn't here, is it?
I've heard about it.
Tohoku isn't here, either.
That's right.
That's true.
Osaka is far away.
That's true.
It's far away, but...
Yes, Mikanyan came from Yamaguchi.
Mikana liked Osaka anyway.
Oh!
She wanted to live in Osaka.
She thought she could live in Osaka if she joined Nenobi.
Oh, that's right!
That's true.
That's why I think she likes Osaka.
I like Osaka, too.
Kyushu doesn't have it, either.
Oh, you're right.
Osaka doesn't have it, either.
Oita doesn't have it, either.
You're right.
But if you come to Osaka and stay in an NMB hotel in Kansai, you'll get used to Osaka.
That's right.
You'll get used to Kansai dialect.
You'll get used to it.
You'll get used to Kansai dialect.
Do you speak Yamaguchi dialect now?
Kansai dialect?
When I go back home, I speak Yamaguchi dialect.
Oh!
That's great.
But I'll get used to Osaka, so I'd like to speak Yamaguchi dialect to people I like.
Yukino, why did you decide to join NMB?
I...
Well...
I don't know why.
It was three years ago, so you might not remember it.
I've always liked idols.
I started to like them because of my mother, who often watched singing programs in Japan and abroad.
She watched "genre tours".
I watched it with her and danced in front of the TV without knowing what was going on.
That's where I learned about idols.
I used to like dancing, too.
I wanted to do what I like as a job.
That's why I became an idol and recruited you.
I recruited you.
You recruited Yukino.
I recruited you.
NMB came to Yukino's heart.
Oh, you're a middle school student, so you might not know it.
I joined NMB when I was in middle school.
I joined NMB when I was in 2nd grade of middle school.
Is it because of distance?
Or is it because middle school students are still in middle school?
I was in 6th grade of middle school.
Kate was also in 6th grade of middle school.
I don't know. I definitely don't know.
Age difference doesn't really matter, does it?
The number of middle school girls increases at once, so middle school students are very happy.
The number of cute girls around you increases, so it's fun.
You can get a lot of delicious makeup.
You can also get clothes.
You can get clothes and cute clothes.
When I joined NMB in elementary school and thought about what it was like,
I didn't think it would be difficult.
Now that I'm in high school, I think it's amazing to be in elementary school.
The person who is in elementary school is doing it without thinking about it.
I was just having fun.
That's amazing.
Why did you join NMB when you were in 6th grade of middle school?
I like NMB because of my relatives.
I know, I know.
That's why I joined NMB.
Girls who say "makeup is cute" or "girls are cute" are highly recommended.
It's amazing that you can audition for it.
How do you promote yourself in the type test?
- Oh, the type test... - What did you write? Do you remember?
- Like how you promote yourself? - I wrote a lot of things!
I really liked NMB, so I wrote about my feelings for NMB and what I like to do.
- I don't think you do anymore. - I'm tight.
- Tight! - Wow! With all your feelings.
- What about you, Yukino-chan? - I wrote "I can dance!"
- That's about it. - Wow! That's so cool!
- I don't think I wrote anything else. - Cool!
- What about you, Kate? - I wrote "top and bottom."
- Wow! That's so cool! - That's so cool!
- Wow! That's so cool! - I wrote "top and bottom" and "hitotsu" too.
- That's so cool! - That's all I wrote.
- That's so cool! - I don't think I wrote anything else.
- That's so cool! - That's so cool!
- There might be a lot of them. - There might be a lot of teenagers.
- I wrote this and it was okay. - What about you, Mikano-san?
I wrote "I don't have confidence in myself, so I don't think I can be confident in myself."
- I wrote something normal. - But I think it's best to write honestly and in your own way.
- That's right. - Rather than writing sentences that you think you can be confident in,
- I think it's better to write what you really think you can be confident in. - I can't guarantee you can be confident in that, but...
- I think it's better for you to do auditions with the thought of having fun than trying to be confident. - That's right.
- And the result is a ceiling and a building. - Yes!
- I'm serious. - Yes, I'm serious.
- Eh? - Eh?
- Ah, this time... - This time, within 60 seconds of the video, we will also accept it.
- Well, I think you can appeal it more realistically than a photo. - I see.
- That's good, isn't it? - It feels like you can appeal by sending a video for one minute.
- How did you send the video? - That's right, it's coming.
- This is also my first time making a synthesizer. - Ah, I see.
- Well, I think it's more realistic than a photo. - That's right, that's right.
- If you say you're good at Yukino-chan's dancing, not only you, but you can also try dancing to a little bit of Nene-B's songs.
- Well, it's a ceiling and a building... - A ceiling and a building...
- Yes, I think it's fine. - Is that a must?
- It's not a must. - Ah, it's not a must.
- If you want to send it, you can send it. - Yes.
- That's right.
- If you want a photo or a processing, you can send it without it. - That's right, without a normal camera.
- If you want to hide your face, you can send it. - Ah, I see.
- If you want to hide your face, you can send it. - I accidentally show my face.
- I'm a teenager's little eye.
- I was wondering if you could do a flip too. - Ah, a flip?
- A flip? - It's the best!
- Well, the video itself is interesting. - It's really good.
- We're looking forward to seeing what kind of videos you'll send us. - Send it to me.
- Well, it's easier to understand through videos. - That's right.
- It might be more appealing. - That's right.
- So, if you're not embarrassed, you can send us videos.
It doesn't matter what kind of videos you send us. We just want you to watch our videos without saying anything.
That's right. For now, let's stop sending videos.
For now, yes.
If we can make videos, it would be great.
That's right.
If you're not good at making jokes...
That's right.
We can't make jokes with words.
That's right.
Like one-shot jokes.
That's right.
It doesn't matter if it's a joke or not.
We just want you to do what you're good at.
So, you don't want us to make one-shot videos, but you want us to edit them?
What do you think about that?
We want you to edit 60 seconds of videos.
60 seconds...
If you edit 60 seconds of videos, we'll accept it, right?
How about cutting your hair?
That's great!
I'm curious about that.
I think it'll stand out.
If you cut your hair...
I think it'll be good.
If you take a video with full body tights, will it be included in the YNN points?
YNN points...
I think it'll be included.
If you want to be an actor...
Right now, Omikonyan is also appearing in dramas.
Everyone...
Every Saturday from 11pm...
"Idol Disqualified" will be aired on BS Kochi Tokyu.
You can watch it on TVer.
Please watch it!
Mimika, right?
Mimika.
You can also work in acting.
If you think it's fun and you want to say it, I think it's a good idea to try it.
We are all really good friends.
We are really good friends.
To be honest, when we first come in, we think we might not be good friends.
We are a group of girls, so we might think we might have something going on.
But we are so good friends that we are surprised.
We don't have any problems.
We don't have any seniors or juniors, and we get along well with each other.
It's just that I want to increase the number of girls' friends.
The number of girls' friends increases at once, so it's about 50 people.
It increases to 60 people at once, so it's fun.
But I think it's a good idea to change yourself or join for a reason.
As you do activities like this, your personality also changes.
Yes, it changes.
It changes, doesn't it?
It has changed.
It has changed a lot.
Has it?
Yes.
That's good.
So I often say that I want to use it as an opportunity to change myself.
Yukino, how about you?
For me...
I don't know if you can call it "people's feelings", but I've been able to talk to anyone without worrying about it.
That's nice. You've become friendly.
Yes. I have a desire to get along with my seniors, and I've been able to talk to anyone without worrying about it.
That's great.
It's sad.
No, it's not sad.
Oh, I'm glad it's over.
No.
I'm glad it's over.
What did you understand?
Well, I'm the oldest member of the group now.
You're a middle school student?
Yes, I'm a middle school student and I'm the oldest member of the group.
Until now, I was more like a younger sister, but now I'm more like an older sister.
I want to talk to everyone.
I'm sure you have your own rules.
How about you, Kanetan?
Kanetan! Kanetan!
What?
I'm not in the MV.
You're not in the MV!
Kaneka-san, are you sleeping?
I'm not sleeping.
How about you, Kanetan?
Kaneka-san, are you sleeping?
Even if you're not good at dancing, Akira will teach you how to dance.
The dance teacher will teach you.
Kanetan, have you ever danced before?
They asked if it's okay to take pictures without makeup, but it's okay.
I also sent it without makeup.
Wow!
I didn't do anything.
Which one is better, taking pictures or not?
Wow!
Which one is better, taking pictures or not?
I don't know.
Well, Abe's picture was really cool, like a man and a woman.
That's why it had such an impact.
So you don't care which one is better?
That's right.
There are pictures that five people send each other.
Well, I don't care which one is better.
Yes, yes, yes.
We all take pictures of our parents or mothers around that time.
We don't have a photo session or anything like that.
Yes, we don't.
We just take pictures as we like and it's fine.
Moral expression?
Well, among teenage girls, there are people who have nice smiles and people who are good at making people around them happy.
It says people who are good at making people happy and people who have nice smiles.
So I think it's best to take pictures with a smile.
Is it okay even if you are not good at singing?
It's okay.
But as you practice, you naturally get better at it.
Even if you have no experience in singing or dancing,
you will gradually be able to do it as you do it and as you step on it.
Yes, yes, yes.
So you don't have to worry about it at all.
Well, sometimes you go in together and you're originally dancing and you're really good at it,
but if you take lessons properly, you can cover it at all.
That's right.
Singing and dancing are not everything,
but I think it's good to work hard in other fields or work hard in a field you're good at.
That's how it is.
Is it okay to wear colored contact lenses?
It's better not to do it.
It's best to be barefaced.
It's best not to do anything.
It's better to be barefaced than to do makeup.
It's better to do natural makeup.
It's good to grow from there even if you don't have experience.
Even if you don't get anything in the end,
everyone will teach you warmly and fans will watch you warmly.
Right, everyone?
I couldn't do anything.
I'm asking you if you'll take lessons fees.
I won't take lessons fees.
It's free.
I see.
Is it okay for you to dye your hair?
When I sent it, it was black and white.
When I joined, it was black and white.
When I applied for it, it was black and white.
Research students have black hair at first.
I think it's better not to lose black hair later.
Is it okay for you to have extensions?
Extensions?
Extensions.
I made a mistake.
You didn't know about extensions, did you?
No, I didn't.
It's like growing your hair out.
What should I say?
Like making it longer or adding color?
It's like growing your hair out.
But I think it's better to have extensions later.
Right?
Yes.
That's right. When you are a researcher, you work without natural make-up, black hair, nails, and color contact lenses.
So, even if you have blonde hair in your photo, you have to dye your hair black when you go in.
If you think about the future and do it, I think it's best to have black hair in the simplest condition.
Is it more advantageous to send a video?
It's not advantageous this time. This is the first time.
But you can see it in real life, so I'm looking forward to it.
But if you can send it, it will be an appeal.
That's right.
I'm 11 years old and I'm 165 cm tall, but can I appeal?
Wow!
That's great!
Your style is good.
Please appeal.
That's great.
What kind of clothing would you like me to send you?
Clothes and such.
Clothes.
Well, I'd like you to send me what you want me to send you.
Like, where do you want me to put my picture?
Clothes that don't hide my body shape.
That's right.
Do you have any?
I think I do.
It's not ready yet.
Oh, I see.
In an interview or something like that.
Can I send you a bare-faced make-up video as an appeal?
Sure, sure.
That's your arrangement, isn't it?
Yes, I think it's a good idea.
And...
Can I send you one with glasses?
I'm sure you can send me one with glasses.
You can send me one with glasses.
Yes.
You can send me one with glasses.
Thank you.
I'm sure you'll send me one with glasses.
Yes!
We'll be waiting for you.
I'm happy for you.
We'll be working together.
I'm happy for you.
That's amazing.
I'm happy for you to say that.
Do you have any banned actions?
Banned actions?
What kind of banned actions?
Is it related to auditions?
Auditions and banned actions?
Yes.
I think it's written in the book.
Oh, I see. I just took a look at it.
Can foreigners not speak Japanese?
If you can't communicate, it's hard for you, and it's hard for us, too.
When will you apply for it?
We're applying for it until February 29th.
It's around February, isn't it?
Huh?
So it's been about a month or so.
We haven't announced it yet.
I'll start with Yamaguchi.
Wow, really?
What show?
She's trying to do a local talk show.
Where is it?
Even if Mika says she can't answer it.
I'm looking forward to it.
We'll talk about it later.
That's nice.
I'll start with Okayama. Is there anything you can't answer?
No, there isn't.
I'm really happy about Okayama.
By chance.
Miraculously.
She might be the first Okayama member.
I'll start with Aichi.
Okayama.
Yay!
I'm looking forward to it.
I'm happy.
Bring me some chicken wings.
Chicken wings.
I'm happy.
I want to get along with you. Can I ignore you?
Let's get along.
How old are you?
From 11 years old to 22 years old.
It's February 29th now.
Oh, no.
From February 29th, 11 years old to 22 years old can apply.
It's quite wide.
10 years old.
But I don't think it's advantageous because you're young or old.
If you were 22 years old, you'd hesitate a little.
I'm 22 years old and I don't know what to do.
I think you might feel that way at first.
You don't have to worry about it at all.
It changes completely depending on how you look at it.
Don't worry about it.
It's attractive because you're old.
That's right.
There are jobs you can do because you're old.
I hope you'll try it out.
When we auditioned for "MMB48", were you confident you would pass?
No, I wasn't.
It was my fourth audition.
But I thought this would be my last chance.
I thought I'd pass, and my sister was in my class.
I was going to hide it from my sister.
I said, "Yuka, take it."
She said, "Take it, too."
I thought it would be nice if we could apply together.
That happens sometimes.
That's amazing.
Please invite your sister or sister-in-law.
There are a lot of people who say, "I'll pass with my friends."
Did you pass, Yukina?
I passed.
That's light!
But even if I said I passed, I felt more and more confident.
I thought I would pass after I got the result that I passed in the third audition.
That's amazing.
I didn't know.
I didn't know if I was passing or failing.
I was like, "I'm here for a lesson, but what is this?"
I've been in that situation all the time.
When I realized it, I passed.
How about you, Mika?
I was a little surprised because it was a draft.
But I believed in myself and thought I could do it when I was chosen by the fans of the last draft.
That's right.
Whether you look at it together or not, you'll definitely pass.
That's right.
The draft is a little different.
But I think I'll pass.
Surprisingly, many members say they didn't think they would pass.
That's right.
I think they say, "I didn't think I would pass."
It's up to you to receive it and see what happens next, isn't it?
Since you don't have any special skills or anything like that, is it okay for you to compete with just NMBI?
Yes, of course!
I think it's really good.
That's great.
I'm happy just to have NMBI, and it's a great place and a good point.
You'll find your special skills, won't you?
That's right.
You'll be able to do various activities as you go, so I think it's good to find it in it.
It doesn't have to be anything.
That's what Mikana-sama says.
I'm good at just existing.
That's right.
You're good at saying good things.
That's right.
I'm really good at it.
Is it okay?
NMB48 10th generation, when will you start entering?
We are already accepting.
Already accepting?
Yes.
Please apply now.
Please check the overview section.
For more information, please check the overview section.
Is it okay only for upper body in the video?
Kanetan.
Well, well.
For photos, there are front and back.
I think it's easy to understand if there is a video.
Well, it's up to you.
I see.
How can I convince my parents?
I see.
Which type?
Some people oppose it and some people agree with it.
I see.
I oppose it.
Do you?
I say "no" to both of my parents.
But during the selection period and lesson period, I say "do your best" at the last screening.
I think they will support me in the end.
Did you say "no" at the first application?
I didn't say it.
You said it.
I see.
How about you, Yukino?
I agree with it and do what I want to do.
I agree with you, too.
How about you, Mikano?
I auditioned several times.
At first, I said "why not?"
But I kept failing and I said "why not?"
And I got the last chance.
That's great.
But I think it's best to be told what you want to hear.
Have you ever thought you should have done this or that during the screening?
I don't know.
On the contrary, I'm glad I did it.
During the secondary screening, I was asked, "Is there anything you want to say at the end?"
At that time, I raised my hand actively and did my best in whatever I could do.
Wow, that's amazing.
I think being active is important.
I think it's important.
There are many different kinds of people, and I think it's important how you stand out among them.
What about you, Yukino?
I...
I should have done it.
I should have met more judges.
I was so nervous that I could only look up or down.
I talked while looking at either of them.
I should have looked them in the eye and told them how I felt.
That's what I regretted.
But even if I look up or down, I get angry.
It happens.
Do you remember, Kaneko?
Yes, we do.
You two had a strong impression of each other.
Kaneko was good at dancing.
I remember that.
But she had something in her eyes.
What did you prepare for the judging?
What did I prepare?
But Kate said she had no experience in dancing.
When I auditioned, I wasn't sure if it's okay for me to have no experience in dancing.
I watched a little bit of music videos of NMB48 and danced to them.
But I didn't prepare anything in earnest.
I don't know if I did that.
But I listened to a lot of songs of NMB48.
First of all, I want you to know about NMB48 in detail.
I don't know what to say, but I think it's important for you to know about NMB48 in detail.
If you don't know about NMB48 in detail, please check out NMB48 official channel.
You can find NMB48 official channel on NMB48 official website.
I was scolded a lot when I watched that video.
I'm not only like that.
There are many others.
I'm strict sometimes, but I'm almost kind.
Yes, you are.
Please rest assured.
Did you have any worries about joining a school?
How about you, Rukinu?
Because you are a student.
How can I say...
But I didn't have any worries.
I chose what I like in school and what I want to do.
So I was confident that I could do both.
What is the concept of 10th graders?
The concept of 10th graders is...
They are good at making others happy.
They are good at smiling.
That's it.
It's simple.
That's all I can say.
But it doesn't matter if you are not good at smiling or not good at making others happy.
That's not everything.
That's the only theme of 10th graders.
On the contrary, if you go the opposite way, you won't have your own personality.
That's right.
That's not 100%.
It doesn't mean you have to be good at everything.
Yes.
The condition of being good at everything is from 11 years old to 22 years old.
That's all I can say.
I have two last questions.
I'll do it forcibly, but I like it as I do it.
It's not like you can't do it unless you like it.
But I think it's a good thing to like it.
Lastly, what has changed the most since joining NMB48?
Every day is fulfilling.
The members are like family to me.
Before joining, I couldn't compare with them.
They gave me a better life.
Wonderful.
Yukino, what about you?
For me...
What has changed the most?
My personality has changed the most.
At first, I was only interested in myself.
I couldn't see others.
But after joining NMB48, I could see others.
I could be interested in others.
I could say what I like about others.
I could tie myself to others.
I could do many things.
I think NMB48 is a group which can do many things that are beneficial for you.
Wonderful comments.
I think I can end this interview now.
I feel relieved.
No matter what I do, my fans, members and adults support me.
I feel relieved when I know there are many people who care about me and watch over me.
I don't feel anxious anymore.
That's good.
How about you?
I learned about love.
That's deep.
NMB48 is a group full of love.
The members, the staff and the fans are very warm.
I don't know...
Do you know?
I know what you want to say.
I didn't know NMB48 could give me so much love.
I've never met such kind people like you.
You are a good girl.
It's over.
We have a time limit.
We have to end this interview before 10 pm.
However, we will continue applying until February 29th.

Thank you for today.
We are waiting for you.
It's been a while since we talked like this.
