AISubs v3.7
We came here without knowing anything
We were just looking for something to do
One day, as we were walking forward, we asked someone
And when we realized it, we were climbing up a hill
Sweat flowing down, a tired body, overflowing tears
Living in an unseen future
Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
Put your feet on the ground and walk properly
Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
A clear blue sky and passing wind
A song of Nogizaka
I was able to come to this venue thanks to you, the people on this stage, and the people who watched the live stream!
Looking for new shapes, searching for new forms,
to the highest in the world, the best of the best!
No way I'm gonna say any of that, no way.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, don't look back.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, look at the boy.
Everyone, sing with me!
Don't look back!
Look ahead!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Way!
Don't look back!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Look at the boy!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Way!
Believe in yourself and move forward!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Now!
Young man without a name!
If you have a dream, it's right here!
A song of Nogizaka!
Our song!

That song...
Is the song...
I want to hear the most!
If you want to climb a big cliff for the first time, you can do it in the middle of the water!
The message from the fans is reaching you!
How about it, Hatsurissa?
I think I want to enjoy it!
Because life is like that!
If you look back on that day,
The more you can't put it back together,
no matter who you talk to, you say you've thought too much about it.
How about you?
I'm starting to see the light. Today, I won't sleep anymore.
Today for sure, today for sure, I'll live like myself.
Where is the light? Shine on me, please.
How about you? How about you? I've fulfilled my expectations.
Where is hope? The moment you're reborn.
Sun, sun, will you take me out of here?
Dawn is coming soon.
Sun, sun, will you take me out of here?
Dawn is coming soon.
Sun, sun, will you take me out of here?
I don't know where to go, I'm in trouble
The new sandals make it difficult for me to walk with my shoes off
I'm in a bad mood, come closer, the waves are gentle
From now on, I'll give you a ride
Memories past, let's not fight in a place like this
Memories past, I want to spend a romantic time with you
The miracle of being here, memories past, someday I'll look back and say it was the best summer ever
Memories past, let's not fight in a place like this
Memories past, I want to spend a romantic time with you
The miracle of being here, memories past, someday I'll look back and say it was the best summer ever
What is the first thing you want to cherish?
What do you prioritize? Priority?
You have to think about it properly
Memories past, that's the best
Memories past, that's the best summer ever
The mine train in the rush hour is the prison of dead dreams
The me reflected in the window glass was getting older
Everyone is looking at the same angle, where is everyday life heading to?
Let's get off at the next station, it doesn't matter where we are
Because if we keep going like this, just one day will begin
I don't like it, I don't like it, being swept away
I don't like it, I don't like it, this kind of life
On top of a closed train, it's boring
It doesn't matter if you don't have it
That's right, you have to get off and see for yourself
You can't see a different scenery
Let's meet at the next station
It doesn't matter where we are
Because if we keep riding like this
Just one day will begin
Definitely
No, no, I don't want to be swept away
No, no, this kind of life
On top of a decided rail
It's boring
You don't surprise
It's different from the summer we used to know, even though no one noticed
The strength of the sunlight, or the vividness of the flowers' colors
Seasons pass again and again, and we've forgotten something somewhere
Let's go to the sad entrance where someone will like it
An orange top, a one-piece shirt, and me in brown
You're the one who looks good in the sun
Why do you smile alone while drinking a glass of whiskey?
Under the table, you casually threw away your sandals
What are you going to do when you become me? Are you going to walk somewhere like that?
Hey, what do you want to do? I can't predict your actions
Under the table, you casually threw away your sandals
I'm sick of it and I'm tired of it, but I'm still in love with you
There's always a girl around you
A man and his friends, and you're alone
It's frustrating, but I can't help it, and I haven't even confessed my love
The distance between us now is comfortable and I feel at ease in space
If that's the case, I'll become barefoot and walk together with you wherever we go
We'll go through anything together, and love will push us forward
If I keep my feelings hidden and stay with you, I can be honest
What I want is in front of me, and someday I'll be able to talk properly
You're different from your usual self, even though you don't realize it
The number of times we've met, and the way you hold out your fingers
While looking in the mirror, you've fixed your sleeping habits
It's so painful, it makes me want to cry
I know...
What are you going to do when you talk?
Are you going to walk somewhere like that?
Hey, I can't predict what you want to do
I know...
What are you going to do when you talk?
Are you going to walk somewhere like that?
Hey, I can't predict what you want to do when you talk
I'll buy you more and walk with you
Hey, what do you want to do?
I can't predict what you want to do when you talk
You always come early
I'm tired of getting tired of it
Even so, I love you every day
Of course, I love you now, but I can't go back to those days
I'm praying for your happiness all the time
I'm sorry, let's see
Because it was the first time we loved each other
Everything was awkward, even the kiss was too bad.
We held each other many times while we were nervous
If you look away, you will always be there
It has become commonplace
You were too naive and careless at that time.
When we realized that we couldn't see each other anymore
Before we knew it, our hearts were separated.
"Let's start over" you said, and what did I do? "Yari naosou" to iwaretara, boku wa doushita?
I like you now, of course, but why can't we go back to that time?
I can love you because I'm not calm
I like you tomorrow, of course, but I can't get close to you in the distant light
These feelings I can't put into words, if you want me to say goodbye to you, let's look at them together
I like you, but why can't we go back to those days?
Because it's not calm, love can be made
Of course, tomorrow is not like me
I like you, but I can't approach you in front of the distant light
I can't say these feelings out loud
Goodbye, I'll pray for your happiness forever
I'm sorry, it looks painful
The songs from 20th to 16th place that you have seen so far.
I asked Endo how he felt when he knew the ranking.
What songs do you like?
The songs that we like and the songs that we like.
I felt like I was with my fans.
"I like you too" was quite common.
After that, we usually get excited at the live show.
I feel like there were a lot of songs that everyone would like.
"You don't have to be strong until dawn," who became the first center,
"I haven't forgotten how I felt at the time," says Endo.
Even though we were in the center, we had the same four members on both sides.
It felt like we were standing in the first row.
Rather than being in the center alone, it felt like we were standing in front of each other.
At that time, even though the two of them were working hard, I was pulled along with them.
And the second center song, "Sorry, Fingers Crossed".
Both of them were great seniors and reassuring seniors.
I felt like I was pulled by those seniors again.
I feel like it doesn't change there.
Even though there are places where it has to change, it doesn't change.
Endo clearly remembered about the next song.
It's a song that was performed once in a live performance by first graders and fourth graders.
At that time, fifth graders hadn't joined yet, so we were at the bottom.
The first graders and fourth graders who were the farthest apart
I was personally very happy that we sang together in that song.
I think it was more painful at that time.
Memories and memories, it is always with a song.
August's rainbow bridge
As we looked out from here, we fell in love
But what should we talk about?
We just sat next to each other and were blown away by the wind
The happiness of being together
I thought it would last forever
Even though I realized that the season would pass
I'm sure there are more memories than the length of summer
Even if I try to forget you, I can't turn back
The T-shirt I wore over and over again is melting around my neck
But I can't forget you, who I held tight in my arms
Even if the cold autumn wind blows, I want to wear a T-shirt a little more
I don't want to be alone in the summer when I fell in love with you
Next year's summer will come again
Ah, I'm sure you'll come back here
Loving you doesn't need words
Just being by your side
I'm sure there are more memories than the length of summer
Even if I try to forget you, I can't switch
The T-shirt I wore over and over again is stretching around my neck
But I can't forget you, who held me tight in your arms
Cut off by the sunlight,
It's dripping down from the earth's surface.
A summer day like today,
How much more will it get cold when the wind blows?
Your own voice resounds like a journey.
If it's too soon,
I don't know when I became an adult and stopped running.
When I looked from the east side,
I saw a puddle on the other side of the road.
When I got closer, it suddenly disappeared.
Where did it go even though I aimed for it?
Isn't it fun?
It's the power to live even if it's too late
Crush you
When I saw you from a distance, I was curious about you
There was a puddle
If you get too close, you'll disappear into the sea
Even though I aimed for it, where should I go?
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Happy happy if you wanna be with my sweet girl
The world is too wide and I can't overlook it
How far does the blue sky continue?
Is it sunny beyond the horizon?
Or is it raining again?
For someone who is not there,
What can you do now?
I hope you all remember.
If you share your happiness little by little,
Your smile will spread.
These feelings will reach you.
Clap your hands.
Fly away in the wind.
A song of love.
You are not alone.
Say hello, say hello, say hello.
Someone who is not here will someday sing with a loud voice for someone they don't know.
People are not familiar with each other, so let's support each other and move forward.
Let these feelings reach you. Clap your hands.
Ride the wind and fly away. A song of love.
You are not alone.
Say hello, say hello, say hello.
We are not here.
Clap your hands so you realize we exist.
Can you hear your friends' voices?
Ring ring, ring ring, ring ring.
La la la la la la la la.
Happy happy, everybody be happy.
La la la la la la la la.
Happy happy, if you wanna feel it, smile.
La la la la la la la la.
Happy happy, everybody be happy.
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Happy happy if you wanna bring me smile Sweet love
Sweet love
That kind of coincidence is important
Being deliberate is a no-no
I want to meet you somewhere
It's no use waiting
At an amusement park or my basement
In a place that's not unnatural for shopping
Even my favorite rivals
Must be looking for me
Come on, hurry up!
Whose side is God on?
Make your stand clear!
If you're on my side, cheer me on so I can't see you!
I don't need a plan, I just want you to support me!
I want you to smile like a miracle happened
Look up at the sky by yourself
These feelings that tickle me, reach me!
If you're on my side, cheer me on so I can't see you!
Thank you for all of your requests!
Thank you for all of you who have become my sisters!
Thank you!
Let's make it into words that aren't so persistent
Wishing alone won't be enough
Let's make it into words that aren't so persistent
Wishing alone won't be enough
Let's make it into words that aren't so persistent
Whose side is God on? Make your value clear
If you're on my side, cheer me up so I can't see you
I don't need a strategy, I just want you to support me
I want you to show me a big smile like a miracle happened
Look up at the sky alone
These feelings that I can't help but want you to know
Let's make it into words
How did you feel when you knew you were in the rankings?
But I thought that the passion we felt reflected in the rankings, but there were also songs that made me happy, such as units.
Four years ago, "word magic" was announced, and it still has a unique atmosphere.
There were four of us at the time of receiving this song, so I wonder if the atmosphere remains in this song even after many years.
It's been six and a half years since I joined as a third generation.
"Nogizaka Forty Six" that I have seen both outside and inside.
Knowing that AKB's official rival could do it made me know about the existence of "乃木坂".
That's when I was in elementary school.
Ten years later, the person who I thought could be my official rival has become "乃木坂" now.
Graduation. Admission. I've seen it with my own eyes.
I think it's been ten years since my seniors walked in.
Among them, there were a lot of members who graduated and joined.
I think it's been ten years since we've all been holding hands.
I feel like I've received a baton from time to time.
Umezawa's history from now on is...
Well, I don't really want to say it, but I'm really anxious.
I don't know what's going to happen.
I feel like I've entered a new era of idol selection.
Somehow, a lot of things have changed.
I don't think it's going to be like before.
I'm anxious, but I'm a little confident.
Somehow, I'm anxious, but I'm a little confident.
But I want to do it with determination.
A new decade has already begun.
In front of me, lined up in rows,
I feel like I've met you somewhere.
Where and who was it again?
I can't remember it at all.
Or am I just like someone else?
Or was I an actress in a drama?
But it's true that I've looked at you in a similar way.
Why does it make me feel so painful?
I want to call out to you,
but I don't want you to think I'm a weirdo.
I suddenly felt something more mysterious than the sky above me.
But why did I want to chase you to the parking lot?
I've been here many times, but we never met.
Oh, who in the world are you?
And then I finally understood
It wasn't the past, it was the future
That's why I'm talking to you like this
(I want to give you a hug)
That's right, we've been together for many years
I'm interested in you now
After this, I'll send you off
I'll send you off in my car and we'll become lovers
Destiny always
(can't be remembered)
Suddenly starts
(with a small voice)
More than anyone else, I suddenly felt
A strange echo
But why did I want to chase you
To the parking lot?
I've come here many times
But we didn't meet
Oh, who in the world are you?
Oh, that's right, of course it's you
Thank you, everyone!
Thank you!
We've been delivering rankings from 20th to 11th place so far.
Did you enjoy it?
Yes, thank you.
When I hear your voices on a birthday live like this,
even if I'm listening behind the scenes,
Oh, I didn't know there was a call like this,
or "You were shouting out the members' names,"
I'm really happy about it,
and I listen to it while savoring each and every one of them.
This will be my last birthday live,
but I have a good feeling that it will be a really good memory.
Thank you for this opportunity.
Even if we had a birthday live about twice a year,
we wouldn't have been able to sing together,
so we'd like to prepare for your birthday.
Thank you in advance.
Make sure you keep your throat in good condition, okay?
It's been a while, hasn't it?
But as long as I've been listening,
I feel like you've been practicing the song's call in advance.
I can feel your excitement.
Okay.
Are you ready?
Music, start!
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Noni Zaka, happy birthday to you.
Thank you very much!
I think this is another great new start for us, so please continue to support us, Nogi Zaka 46, who are in their 12th year!
Please continue to support us!
Now, I'd like to hear what the members have to say.
First of all, Suzuki Ayane, who announced her graduation the other day!
Thank you, everyone!
On March 28th, I announced my graduation from Nogizaka 46.
I've been participating in the birthday live since the second one, and it's my tenth time this year.
It was a very special place for me, who came in longing for my seniors.
I'd like to talk on my back today so that my seniors can show us history in a cool way and I can pass it on to my juniors.
Thank you! Let's get excited!
Thank you!
You've just joined us, haven't you?
Oh, stop it!
It's okay!
I can't even imagine how proud you are!
Really? Thank you! You've become our senior!
You're so reliable! Thank you!
Thank you, always!
Next up is our vice-captain, Ume!
Yes! Thank you!
I feel like a birthday live is different.
There's something that comes up from the moment you start.
It's been about three years since your last call, right?
But you remember everything with just a few songs.
You're so used to it that you don't even feel nostalgia.
I'm sure there are people who don't even know you called.
But I'm so happy to see you all having so much fun.
And since it's a 11-year-old birthday live,
we're participating from a 5-year-old birthday live.
And this year, this 11-year-old birthday live will be the last birthday live
that we'll be having a birthday live.
Looking back at our past birthday lives,
I think we've faced a lot of obstacles.
But I think this will be another turning point for us.
With that spirit in mind, we're challenging ourselves for this birthday live.
We have five days this year.
We want to have all of our special live shows and your last one.
So please stay with us until the end!
Thank you!
Yes.
As we've said before, we're full of energy.
So we're going to have fun from now on, too!
Before we go back to the rankings,
we'd like to look back at last year, 2022.
First of all, please take a look at this.
Here you go!
From here, we'll look back at 2022 for just a little bit.
In 2022, eight members will turn 20 years old.
In February, the fifth 46-hour TV show was held.
Three singles were released.
The national tour was held in 2022 with a large audience.
The future joined Nogizaka 46.
Nogizaka 46 - "Gokisei"
Tell me how you feel, looking at yourself
Recently, I've been spinning around and breaking
When did the wind start blowing?
My emotions are spinning around and I can't stop worrying about it
My heart is screaming
The reason I'm worried about those broken clouds
Is because I can't believe in tomorrow
What do you see? Oh, what do you say?
Even though it wasn't like this
What do you see? Oh, what do you say?
What should I do from now on?
Let me know
A second before despair
The star is faintly shining
A black darkness is coming
Can you see the darkness coming here?
The dream I found
Was lost in a crowd of planets
I am searching for my only dream
Oh, oh, no one's fault, it's our own fault
Oh, oh, even if we wait for the never coming dawn
Oh, oh, in the end, it's our own fault
Lookin' at yourself, but do you see that?
A second before despair, the stars faintly shine
A pitch black darkness comes
The dream I found is in a planet full of stars
I'm lost in it
Whose life comes first?
Oh, oh, even if the never-ending dawn sky ends
Oh, oh, in the end I want to shake myself off and stand still
I'm Aruno Nakanishi, 5th generation.
One year ago today, I was introduced as the center of the 29th single.
Since that day, for one year until today,
I thought I didn't have the right to sing this song.
Even now, I don't think I have the right to do so.
Even so, I love this song and the people I met through it.
Today, I hope that I can tell you even a little bit about it.
Please listen to it. "ACTUARY".
ACTUARY
You know I need to find something real bad
Everytime you smile
I remember that I forced myself
To draw the blue sky
You know what color the wind is, don't you?
It's not enough
ACTUARY
I don't know anything about
The beauty of this world
Yes, it's ugly
ACTUARY
I don't realize
That I'm deceiving myself
And losing sight of the truth
It's not a lie
(I'm telling you the truth, no lies)
You can see it, can't you?
Even my facial expressions
Are revealed by
Everyone but me
ACTUARY
I don't know anything about
The beauty of this world
Yes, it's ugly
ACTUARY
I don't realize
(That I'm deceiving myself)
My ideals get in the way and I lose sight of the truth
I want to show you how I really am
That kind of worry is a cowardly excuse
A cowardly excuse is a cowardly excuse
I've begun to walk with you many times on the road of canopy
Waiting for you, we looked at each other for the first time on this sweaty bench
Lips that we hugged were overlapping
On a moonlit night, I miss you so much that I just look up at the far side of the sky
Even today, I can't share this moment with you
There's a meaning to living, but it hurts me to say it
If only I could have such a beautiful full moon, I'd like to gaze at it with you
Rather than such things, I'd like to talk to you in a better way
Even if my love won't reach you forever
I can't tell you all of my feelings
I love you, but I can't say it
I want to leave you, but I'm sure it's wrong
I have to say "I love you"
I can't tell you anything else but you
Misunderstandings, mistakes, mistakes
It's not like this, it's not like that
Half of the moon that was visible to me
Actually didn't change anything
The truth is from here and tomorrow
The meaning that seems to be different
Will be changed
On a moonlit night, I miss you
I just look up at you from a distance in the sky
I can't share this moment with you
There is a meaning to life
I just want to say it
I can't make such a beautiful full moon
I want to gaze at it with you
That light
It's not like this, it's not like that
I'll tell you everything
My love won't reach you forever
Yes!
In 2022, Nogizaka 46 held the world's largest birthday live performance in 10 years of history.
Crowds of 70,000 at Nissan Stadium.
Rehearsal for a long time, rain for weather, rehearsal for a long time,
and experienced the same live performance as my seniors for the first time.
In order to win that greatness, I had no choice but to keep running.
That sense of unity...
That sense of elegance...
The legendary live show that began with this song began with this song.
I'm envious of the sun's girlfriend and me being wrapped up in a circle.
I can't tell you what we're talking about.
Somehow I made a cake.
A special seat in the classroom.
Friendly friends and a world just for the two of us.
You know, if only I could fit in and become one with you, we could understand each other.
In the curtain that broke with my girlfriend, the gentle breeze and the scent of flowers wrap around my warmth.
Who did I fall in love with?
That's right, if it's a girl, I'm always prepared for a blind spot like this.
A blind spot like this.
Eleven years since we were formed.
The members have been replaced many times.
We've been running this far with our heads together.
The memories of the past 11 years always come to mind with your smiles.
Thank you so much for supporting us and helping us grow up so far!
Thank you for always supporting us and helping us grow up so far!
Thank you so much for supporting us and helping us grow up so far!
I'm Kakiharuka, a fourth generation student.
In August 2022, this song was released and I worked as a center there.
It was one of the important events for Nugizaka 46, and I also performed it on the summer nationwide tour.
Every performance and everything was pressure, but through that summer, I fell in love with Nugizaka 46 even more!
So today, with those feelings of love, I'd like to party up my birthday party!
Listen up! Love is rock!
Everyone! Are you ready to party up your birthday party?
Let's party up!
One, two!
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh
The thing I hate the most in the world is me
Since I realized it, I've been trying so hard
I don't think I want friends
It's like I've been nodding to everyone for years
Shouldn't it be easier than carrying dreams and hopes?
A future where I don't expect anything and I don't get hurt
No matter how much I've come to like you
Everything has turned upside down and started to sparkle
Is there any power in love?
I was reborn, please like me
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh
I felt it in my heart, the strength of hope I want to take it with me
Even if I make everything zero, I can only see you
I'll go with all my might, until I'm close to my passion, I want an answer
No matter how much I've come to like you
Everything has turned upside down and started to sparkle
Is there any power in love?
I was reborn, please like me
I won't make you regret it, please like me
My heart beats and beats
La la la love is dancing again
La la love spins me on my feet
Even if you think about it in your head, it won't start
Let's be honest with our own feelings
Everyone should be waiting for that timing
Let's play, let's leave it for a kiss
Finally our eyes meet and my heart feels like it's about to explode
Let's show each other
There's something more than words
This morning I tried to like you
Marking tomorrow's expectations
What kind of future is waiting for me?
Hey God, please tell me
I'm excited about the story ahead of us
I want to know it soon
If you fall in love, who will it be worth it for?
I'm reflecting on it
Do you like me?
Do you like me more?
I love you all, too!
Before I realize it, I've fallen in love with you
Do you think that's true love?
I've fallen in love with you!
My expectations for tomorrow are at their max!
What kind of future awaits me?
Oh goddess, please tell me!
I'm excited for the story ahead!
I want to know it soon!
If you love someone, you'll be worth it!
Hey, I'm saying true!
LaLaLa... My heart beats happy!
LaLaLa... It's easy, yeah!
LaLaLa... Take me on my dream!
Yeah, it's strange in this world
There's so much I don't know
I feel like I've grown up
Maybe I'm still a kid
I don't care if I like it or not
I need to experience more
I know what I want
So...
How do I eat this food?
Even though I've never eaten it
No one will tell me
No, no, no
It's hard and I can't peel it
No, no, no
This food is a pain in the ass
How do I eat this food?
I've never touched it
Even though I'm curious about it
Should I just cut it with a knife?
So I can eat it all up
Ah...
Hey, can you hear me?
Do you have a pitiful illusion of having obtained the world?
It's embarrassing to say you know it all.
How long will this kind of fruit last? Hey, show me the limit.
So I can eat it all up Ah... Ah...
I've never eaten it before Ah... Ah...
No one will tell me about it No, no, no
It's hard and I can't peel it off No, no, no
Fashion foods are troublesome
How many fashion foods should I eat?
I've never touched them before
But I'm interested in them
Should I cut them with a knife?
Fashion foods won't do you any harm
There's so much I don't know
When I know everything
That's right, I've finally noticed
Same here
Even if it's just fashion foods
I'm sure you don't know anything
I fell in love
I was surprised at the development of it
That dancer in the center
Was turned away by my black expectations
Notice it, understand
The sense is under high
The answer of the feelings I decided
Even if I don't love you
I want to tell you from the forest
I'm sure you don't know anything
I fell in love
I was surprised at the development of it
That dancer in the center
Was turned away by my black expectations
Notice it, understand
The sense is under high
The answer of the feelings I decided
Hey, answer shot, if you believe, answer shot, love connects
You are here and I am here, we are drawn to each other
(thank you)
Realize it, answer shot, everything is answer shot, answer of the feelings I decided
You don't have to pretend, I just want to tell you
From now on, answer shot, hey, the answer's eye
Without anyone knowing
Keep opening up your own feelings
It's answer love
(thank you)
Realize it, answer shot, everything is answer shot, answer of the feelings I decided
The 31st single released last year.
In that single, there was a member who decided to graduate.
When I heard that I would graduate, I didn't really have a sense of it.
After the 31st release started, reality came out all of a sudden.
Saito Asuka-san really left the group.
Everyday, everyday, like...
What is it?
It was a period when I was really hit.
When I think about it, it was like that.
There are 6 coupling songs in this single.
Yamashita has also participated in many coupling songs so far.
But after all, the combination of the members is different every time.
The taste is also different.
In a sense, it's not like Nogizaka at all.
There's a song change.
What is this song?
It's hard for us to understand at first.
There's a song that's like a ridiculous jumping tool.
But it's interesting, isn't it?
But recently, a member told me...
Ume and Yoda are in a strong unit.
Yamashita strongly feels the interesting and fun of coupling songs.
Coupling is kind of free, isn't it?
It's not like you can do whatever you want,
but if a member says, 'That's what a unit is like,' or 'I want to do something like this,'
that project often goes through unexpectedly.
So for this song,
I put in a lot of opinions,
and some of the choreography
was done by people who are in the middle of a big buzz.
So...
Hmm...
Well, when the concert is over,
I hope you don't say anything.
Let's go take a bath together, wow oh wow oh
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Let's go to Lorenzato, which is nearby, wow oh wow oh
Even sweat comes out when you're alive
Your body will also be covered in red
Even if you look pretty, you'll get dirty
Take off your school uniform and tie your hair
If you don't want to get caught, go go!
Hide yourself in an important place
Come on, put your hands on your shoulders
It's better if it's hot
Let's go take a bath together
Even if you're tired, you'll be covered in red
Let's rub each other like we're hurting each other
Come on, feel it in your chest, it's a good feeling
A hundred percent yoga that you can't do in your life
Yes, it's a battle story
Treat me a lot! Let's have a good night's sleep tonight!
Drink milk in the car and go to the massage
The people around you are ordinary people
Let's go for a bath in the bathhouse
Let's make a dresser nearby
Let's go for a bath in the bathhouse
Even if you're tired, you'll be covered in red
Let's rub each other like we're hurting each other
Come on, feel it in your chest, it's a good feeling
A hundred percent yoga that you can't do in your life
Yes, it's a battle story
I couldn't look you in the eye for a long time
I'm a little worried about you
What a beautiful man you are!
I wanted to get closer to you
I thought I couldn't reach you
Even if I reach out my hand
You came to me all of a sudden
You opened my heart and fell to the floor
Like a miracle, my heart fell to the floor
The kiss is mine
I'll never give it to anyone else
Take my lips that I kissed
It's all mine
I don't want to give it up
I loved you so much
Love's evidence
Sweet evidence
What's wrong with me?
I have to shape my feelings
What's wrong with me?
I can't tell you
What's wrong with me?
I can't tell you
What's wrong with me?
My lips are burning up, my lips are burning up,
but I don't want to give up my love for you.
I love you so much,
it's evidence of love,
sweet evidence.
Surely it cannot be talked about.
My passenger seat was covered in mud
I don't care anymore
who I was riding with
I want you to touch me, Robert Manley
I've known for a long time
that it's too early for a woman
So it doesn't matter
whether you like it or not
In love,
you need me
I can feel it somewhere in you
A round seven
Don't touch! I don't want you to touch me
My heart beats unexpectedly
Don't touch! Leave me alone with him
Even if you know he's a bad guy
Even now
My passenger seat was covered in mud
I don't care anymore
who I was riding with
I want you to touch me, Robert Manley
Don't worry about me
Even if I fall out of hell like this
Don't touch, I don't want you to touch me
My heart beats unexpectedly fast
Don't touch, forget about him
Even if I know he's a bad guy
Even now
I'm Endo Sakura and I'm in my fourth year of high school.
On December 31st, 2022, one of the Nogizaka Forty-Six stopped.
That existence was very important and irreplaceable for the group.
I'm trying to overcome my sadness, pain and anxiety.
In order to move forward, we Nogizaka Forty-Six will move forward together.
For today, you made a special video for me.
Let me show you the video.
Well then, please listen.
What is not here.
At night, I'm sucked into the darkness of the city's hustle and bustle, and I finally let go of the weight I'd been carrying.
That's not a way of standing up for adults, but a defenseless self who rolls up her heavy worries and back.
I can't say anything concrete about what I want to do alone.
Can't I reset the countermeasures before the next morning comes?
The same scenery as yesterday is already boring.
I'm sure I don't know the color of the night sky yet.
I have to say goodbye. I'll stay like this forever.
Behind those smiling eyes, you're hiding your tears, waiting for even a blink of an eye.
Don't talk about loneliness. People who feel like their hearts are about to break are all weak creatures to loneliness.
Even so, I'll go alone. To a world I haven't seen yet.
Can you give me a dream or a future that's not here?
Even if I'm close to you, even if I'm here, I can see the blue sky.
But for the first time in my life, I know how wide and high the sky is.
Let's grab the happiness that's farther away than the happiness that's next to you.
Because you were there for me.
I can say my wonderful goodbye.
I'm lonely. Don't talk to me.
Everyone who feels like their heart is about to break
is a lonely and weak creature.
Even so, I'll go alone.
To a world I haven't seen yet.
A dream or a future.
Won't you give me something that's not here?
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
So far, we have looked back at last year's 2022 with music, but are you all enjoying it?
Thank you very much.
Now, I would like to ask each of you about your memories of last year.
First of all, Mayu!
Yes!
Well, it's not really memories for me, but I was really happy about it.
It was my first time receiving a unit song in this single, even though it's not here now.
Of course, I was also very happy about receiving a unit song.
It was my first time receiving a unit song in this single, but more than that,
I think it's just me and the members of the unit we did together, but I think we got really close on our own.
We got more opportunities to talk, and we got to talk more closely.
I haven't called you directly yet, but I've promised to call you "Yuuki-chan" or something like that.
Oh, I see.
That's right.
It's like that little bit of intimacy.
By doing this SEND Rhapsody, I thought it might have increased a little bit, and last year was a very happy memory for me.
Then, when you can call me by my name, tell me too.
Okay.
I'll call you "Yuuki-chan".
I think so.
Yes, thank you.
Now, next up is Renka!
Yes!
I...
No matter what you say, I really enjoyed NISSAN LIVE.
Certainly, there were a lot of painful things that piled up from rehearsals.
But during rehearsals, rehearsals where you're soaked in rain and you're like, "I guess it's Nogizaka after all."
There were times when I didn't go to NISSAN LIVE as much as I thought I would.
But at NISSAN LIVE, I was able to see such a wonderful scenery that it didn't matter.
So I thought again that NISSAN LIVE is really wonderful.
This year is the first time I'm hearing my fans' voices for the first time in a long time.
So if I have a chance to stand on NISSAN LIVE again someday, I'd like to hear my fans' voices at NISSAN LIVE again.
That's what I was thinking today.
Wow, I'm looking forward to that!
I'm happy if that's the case.
I was also very happy to see you having fun every time you had a live show.
I'm happy. I'm happy.
I'm happy thanks to you all.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Manatsu-san.
Yes.
This year is your first year, right?
Yes.
You also announced your graduation this year.
Yes.
What kind of first year was it for you?
Oh, that's right.
After all, it's a completely different way of looking at a year where you work while keeping graduation in mind.
I worked while thinking about what I learned as an idol for the past 11 years and whether I could share it with everyone.
Also, there must be a lot of difficult things in idol activities until the end, so I've been looking for things I can do for everyone every day for the past year.
But, you know, no matter how many days there are, it's not enough.
Graduation is just around the corner, but even if it's right before graduation,
I don't have enough time with everyone, and no matter how much I talk, I can't get rid of my loneliness.
But we really have a lot of things we've learned and received from you, Manatsu-san,
so I don't think I'll ever forget it.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything.
And, you know, what we don't have here right now is Asuka-chan's position.
Saku-chan was in charge of it, and I'm sure there was a lot of pressure...
I'm sorry for saying that all of a sudden!
She was in charge of it under a lot of pressure, and we were all really happy about it,
and I'm sure everyone at the venue knows that, and I'm sure Asuka knows that, too, so thank you!
Now, let's go back to the rankings!
First, I'll show you the top ten, so please watch this VTR!
Here we go!

Piano Sonata No. 40 in F minor, Op. 78, No. 515.
Try writing on one page of a pagebook of a notebook.
But I can't remember a few people, so why is that?
Why can't I remember a few people, so why is that?
If I'm ignored, I should just ignore it
But why is my vanished smile?
The world I left behind will be smaller
I always thought I didn't need friends
(always)
The unforgivable lies and misunderstandings, and even loneliness
(loneliness)
We're the people who make life hard for ourselves
Don't worry about others' bad eyes
(don't worry)
If I just accept where I am now, there won't be anyone who hates me that much
I finally realized it now
The thing I hate the most is myself
(if there's something I want)
(I'll keep it locked up in my heart)
I'll make a heart as big as my throat
(the words "I love you" and)
(the anxiety I want to erase)
(I'll tear them apart and throw them away)
(If you get too close, you won't be able to see life)
(Take a step and see for yourself)
I've always thought I didn't need friends (always)
The lies and regrets I can't forgive make me laugh and I'm lonely (lonely)
I know it's hard to live, but I'm an adult (adult)
Don't worry about comfort and bad eyes (don't worry)
Just accept where you are (where you are)
There's no one who hates you that much (no one)
I've finally realized (I've finally realized)
What I hate the most (what I hate the most)
It's me (it's me)
I like myself (I like myself)
Beneath the five lines, I listened carefully
The graffiti on the pillars and the initials
Who did it and what did they leave behind?
The flow of time (the flow of time)
Tell me about it (tell me about it)
The days gone by (the days gone by)
The footprints and (the footprints and)
Goodbye
Be strong, this encounter has meaning
Our future continues beyond sadness
The beginning is always (the beginning is always)
Yes, something will end (yes, something will end)
Embracing you one more time (embracing you one more time)
The love I wanted to protect turns into something (the love I wanted to protect turns into something)
While I was hesitating (the sun sets)
The hand that looks far away fades away (tomorrow)
I like you (I like you)
I have to say it (I have to say it)
Our eyes met (our eyes met)
And became a starry sky (and became a starry sky)
Good-bye is tiring and it may be useless from now on
As I kiss you on the back of your hand, I'll be able to walk like you
Good-bye, be strong, this encounter has meaning
Our future continues beyond sadness
The beginning is always the end of something
Once again, I embraced you and asked for my true feelings
I don't want to lose you, the one I protected and loved
Today, I wonder why I want to know what's in my heart.
What do you think of me? Will you change your attitude?
Because I like you, you like me too.
There's no meaning in those selfish words.
Ah, I want you to do this because you like me.
It's like an exchange condition.
Cheap wishes aren't real.
It's just self-satisfaction.
If you're happy, that makes me the happiest.
Even if I'm not there, I can smile.
Meeting you, falling in love, even if you don't answer me,
I realized that taking one step at a time is worth it.
Everyone says it's okay because I'm timid.
I can't say "I like you" with all my courage.
As it is, I won't change.
I like you.
If you're happy, that makes me the happiest.
Even if I'm not there, I can smile.
Meeting you, falling in love, even if you don't answer me,
I realized that thinking one step ahead doesn't win you anything.
I met someone I love so much.
Oh baby...
Starry sky on the way home, cloudy snow is suspicious
Full moon and bad mood, I don't know how you're doing
Yes, there has been a little bit of bad mood until now
Even though I hated it, it finally exploded
I'm always selfish
I'm tired of looking at you
You're too advanced
First of all, I have to kill myself for you
If love ends as a dream, it's easy
Even if we kissed a million times
If I can forget it properly, I can be normal with you
As friends like we used to be
From the beginning
Is it a dream or reality?
We walked without saying anything
If love continues as a dream forever, it's happiness
We met and said goodbye a million times
I want to love you more than I imagined
But I'm not good at saying that
It was all a dream
It's not a false ending
I have to hurt you more realistically
It's not love
The travel bag I was carrying was torn and the balance was rolled over
An unexpected goodbye fell from the edge of my heart
An unpredictable happening
A part of me was floating here and there
It was obvious that I was too calm
If only I had run with more emotion
Then I would have made it to tomorrow
What is kindness? Is it the speed that runs to you?
Or is it picking up the tears that fell with you?
I thought about the value of love
But I couldn't find the answer, so I had no choice but to keep walking
Without saying a word, I just look at you go
That makes me happier
If time passes in a little regret
The only thing I can remember is loneliness
I'm calling for you
What is kindness? Is it the speed at which I run to you?
Or is it picking up the tears that fell together?
I thought about the meaning and value of love,
but I couldn't find the answer, and I had no choice but to cry.
What is kindness? Is it comforting you?
Or is it the reason for my tears? Is it something dirty?
What should I do now? Someone please tell me
that it's not the right answer, but that I can believe it now.
What should I do now? Someone please tell me
that it's not the right answer, but that I can believe it now.
I can't see the moon or the stars, not even the streetlights.
A light called light, a night like losing it.
Anxiety and despair make it dark.
Such a lonely darkness, gently closing my eyelids.
I'm sure you can feel it in the shadows.
Someone is thinking of you.
I'm looking at you.
I'll help you so you won't get hurt.
I'll help you so you won't give up.
Come on, come on, come on.
If you keep walking towards me, I'll clap my hands for you.
If you're lost on the road, I'll listen to you.
No matter how dark the world is, you won't stop.
You're not alone if you say you want to say something.
Come on!
Come here!
No matter how strong you are, I won't move from here.
Even if you're lost on the road, live on, live on, live on!
No matter how strong you are, I won't move from here.
I want to guide you to this place.
Look, where have you come to?
Come, come, come!
You just have to keep walking
Towards the direction I clap my hands at.
No matter if you're lost on the road,
live on, live on, live on!
Even in such a dark world, you will never stop.
If you ask me what I want to say,
it's that you're not alone.
You can do it!
It doesn't matter if you love me or not
I just thought of it all of a sudden
It doesn't matter if you love me or not
It doesn't matter at all
Yoko Arii, let's go!
A step that makes you feel cold
With a mix of flowers and songs, how are you?
The city is a sunny screen
It's been a while since I've had a rendezvous with you
I've always wanted to see you
But I couldn't be honest
If you contact me first
Doesn't it seem like I lost?
I see, it doesn't matter, umoh umoh umoh
I suddenly thought of you, yeah yeah yeah
I see, it doesn't matter, umoh umoh umoh
It doesn't matter at all
Even if you don't care (don't care)
It's important (it's important)
Shout out where it's important, umoh umoh umoh
I like you
Hey, hoo hoo, there's no way I'm losing like this, right?
Hey, hoo hoo, I can do more, right? More!
Hey, hey, hey, hoo hoo, it's the best when I'm drunk!
I don't care if you love me or not, woo woo woo woo, I don't care if you love me or not, woo woo woo woo, it doesn't matter to me at all!
I.C., which was wonderfully selected for fourth place! The center is Haruka Kaki!
I like live performances, so I like the space where I can share the same song, the same tension and the same atmosphere.
I hope it will be a song that you can listen to and go home with a cheerful song like "I.C." and I hope you can have a performance that stays in your heart when you go home.
Kaki, who originally liked "nogizaka forty-six", has been listening to many songs since before joining I.C.
It's like "let's enjoy it together", but it's a calm song like "nogizaka", and it's a beautiful song, and it's like it's getting closer to the listener, and it's like it's getting closer to me when I'm listening to it.
The song that brought us together. That song is ranking in after this.
That song was really the first song we danced on stage with our seniors, so we were simply happy to be able to sing and dance, and when we stood on stage with our seniors' songs,
I still remember my seniors' backs when we were dancing, and it's still a song like "nogizaka" even as members.
That's why I think it's more like that for fans, so I think it's convincing.
Now that we're active as members, the best three songs that we're convinced of are...
This place
I can't stop, I close my eyes in the middle of it
I raise my head and notice
The comfortable sun and the chair are similar
I become a shadow and I'm played
Meeting you
I'm bored, I forget, I'm so absorbed in talking
My dream
It's not here, it's somewhere else
On my way home, on my way home
I want to go far away
Where should I go? Where will I arrive?
There's no way I'll get lost
In this dazzling, dazzling
New world
I want to go, I want to go, I want to go, I want to go
I want to be strong
I want to run away
I want to go far away
Where should I go? Where will I arrive?
There's no way I'll get lost
It's sad to meet people, but it's also important to say goodbye
I have to learn about a world that's more and more wide
Someday, I'll choose the road I'll get lost in and shine with the money of the future
Let's go back and live like the wind, like the wind
No matter how bright the past is, the future may be desirable
I want to go back, go back anywhere
Where should I go? Where will I arrive? There's no way I'll get lost in the past
It's sad, it's sad, to a new world
I want to go now, I want to go, I want to go, I want to go, I want to be strong
Oh, oh, this place has grown up
Oh, oh, precious memories
Oh, oh, this place has grown up
Happiness exists Happiness exists
I feel like I know if you're family or not
Is there something I want to protect?
I thought about it along the way
The end of ordinary love is the same for everyone
Without realizing it, we're walking a different path
If you found a dream more important than love
Reality is always boring
I thought about it along the way
How about you? Is it as you wish?
Is the dream life you got happy?
It's common, it's common
The end of the year is always the same
Yes, before we know it, we're walking a different path
If you found a dream more important than love
Then reality will always be precious
Finally, only the first place remains.
What do the members think of the song?
Of course I'm doing my best at that time, and I think it's a song that supports each of the other members.
Oh, I knew it.
I knew it.
I thought a lot about rehearsing that I had to make it a live performance that I like and stay with me.
I don't know why, but it's a song that reminds me of when I first entered Nogizaka or just before I entered Nogizaka.
I think it's because I entered Nogizaka that I had an experience that I can't meet in my life.
When I hear this song, I'm glad I joined Nogizaka.
It's always been a song that I've been singing carefully, so I don't think there's a song that I've seen the group's negative side of this song.
Tenth place - I like myself.
Ninth place - the meaning of goodbye.
Eighth place - valuable things.
Seventh place - everything remains a dream.
Sixth place - kindness.
Fifth place - where I clap my hands.
Fourth place - I say.
Third place - I want to walk a long way on my way home.
Second place - common love.
February 22, 2023.
Nogizaka46 has released 255 songs so far.
The first fan vote.
I want to hear...
...that song...
...the most!
I'm sorry, but I can't play this song for you anymore.
Before I knew it, I was getting a little excited.
Everyone starts running at full speed,
as if it had nothing to do with their own will.
"What's the end of this?" I laugh, wondering what I'm in a hurry for.
I look at you with an objective look.
"Am I going to meet him?" I laugh, wondering what I'm in a hurry for.
Decision-making isn't about logic.
It always starts with an impulse in one's heart.
Being swept away, losing resistance,
living is a choice, choosing only one thing.
Crossing the pedestrian crossing, I always think
I wish my heart had a signal like this.
Go ahead and then stop.
If that's the rule, I can go without hesitation.
I don't want to keep waiting for someone's instructions.
When I want to run, I can do it myself.
I want to be a woman with strong will.
Let's look for another me for tomorrow.
Decision-making isn't about time.
Thinking about it and believing in the future.
I don't want to regret it. Just as I thought.
I don't know the correct answer. It's only once in a lifetime.
Look at people. Someone starts running.
Everyone starts running like crazy.
You can't decide for yourself.
You need someone to back you up.
Decision making is not about logic.
It always starts with an impulse in your heart.
You can't decide for yourself.
You need someone to back you up.
Decision making is not about logic.
It always starts with an impulse in your heart.
You can't decide for yourself.
You need someone to back you up.
Thank you very much, everyone!
Thank you!
So, what you just heard is how we won first place for the song you voted for!
Thank you for all of your votes!
When we ask each of us what our favorite song is,
there are so many of you who say "kikkake" (trigger)
because it's such a favorite song.
I was so happy that I felt like I could communicate with you all.
And, like this, the members who are graduating,
and the graduates who have been active in the past,
we were able to connect this song with a lot of votes from the members.
We would like to use "kikkake" and pass the baton to our juniors.
We hope you will continue to sing along with us.
So, thank you very much for today!
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Are you playing a game? Make some noise!
This is the last game.
That's all for today's lesson.
Ride the wind.
The sound of waves is getting closer and closer.
I wrap up my summer towel.
I'm not a kid anymore, I'm a graduate student.
I'm tired of this story now.
Thank you, Shane! Thank you, Shane! Thank you, Shane!
I loved your warm back.
I turned my head and put my cheek on you.
We clung together in this wide universe.
I believed that love was my only life.
Thank you, Shane! Thank you, Shane! Thank you, Shane!
Meeting is fate. Parting is also fate.
Crossing lines, separating lines, past and future.
Thank you for everything.
Thank you, Shane! Thank you, Shane! Thank you, Shane!
I'm alone and I'm walking
Looking for your back
Thank you, Shane! Thank you, Shane! Thank you, Shane!
Meeting is fate
Parting is also fate
Crossing lines, separating lines
Past and future, thank you for everything
Thank you, Shane! Thank you, Shane! Thank you, Shane!
From Nogiru Karuma…
Yes, so…
In such a short time, Ilebus and Bus are trying to celebrate the end of their first day of live performances!
Wow! I'm so happy! Please say more!
I didn't think I'd be able to say this until graduation, so I'm feeling nostalgic right now.
Let's hear what the members have to say about today!
First, Kaki!
Thank you! Wow! Thank you for calling me "Kaki"!
Thank you so much!
It's been 8 years since the 4th generation of A.C.E. performed "Ooide Ari" and "Ooide Okay" live shows.
So I felt nostalgic and it reminded me of when I first joined the band.
Also, "Say I like you, it's rock" and "Love"
It was my first time hearing you all sing live.
I was like, "Wow, I can't believe I'm performing in front of you all!"
I thought I was going to lose to your pressure!
But you all were so passionate and I was so happy and grateful as I stood on stage.
I was moved by myself.
I could feel your energy rising as you sang.
Really?!
I could feel you getting hotter and hotter as you sang.
I thought I was going to lose twice as much as you did.
But I ended up losing way too much.
You were even screaming.
I was screaming!
That's nice.
It's nice. I was happy.
You finally got to experience this moment.
I did. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Next up is Nagi!
Yes!
You're the best!
Thank you so much! I'm so happy!
This is our second birthday concert.
It's our first birthday concert since "Tension Year".
We had more songs we could perform.
We wore costumes we admired and danced to songs we wanted to dance to.
I was so happy.
It's also our first time at "Koedashi" concert.
"Nissan Stadium" was our first full-length concert.
I was so nervous when I went on stage and heard the audience's voices.
But it felt like a festival.
It was so relaxing and fun.
Thank you so much!
We're finally able to perform in front of all of you.
This is what we normally do.
We're so happy you came.
Good luck tomorrow!
Thank you!
Next up is Mizuki!
Yes!
Thank you!
I'm so happy!
It's been a while since we performed "Garuru" and sang "Garuru Call".
I was so moved.
This is our last birthday concert every year.
This is our last birthday concert with first and second generation members.
Our 12th birthday concert will only be with juniors.
Every time we learn a new position, we feel lonely and feel like we need to learn from our seniors.
But our 5th, 4th and 3rd generation concerts will continue from tomorrow.
We want to show our juniors that we can carry "Nogizaka" on our backs.
As juniors, we will do our best so that Manatsu and Ayane can go on a journey with confidence.
Thank you!
This is our last concert with all of you.
We did our best today, but you were all so bright.
We were able to perform with confidence.
Yes.
I'd like to make an important announcement.
I was appointed as captain of Nogizaka 46 in September 2019.
I got my baton from my first captain, Sakura Erika.
It's been about three and a half years since I decided to work hard until I found a way to lead the group as a captain.
And now, I'd like to give this baton back to the members.
I was able to lead the group while enjoying myself as a captain.
It's all thanks to the members here and the staff who support me.
And most of all, it's thanks to everyone's support and kind words that I was able to come this far.
So, I'm going to end my work as a captain today, but I'd like to move on to a wonderful new captain after this, so I'd like to announce a new captain.
The new captain is Minami Umezawa!
Yes.
He has been supporting me as a vice captain for a long time.
And before becoming a vice captain, he organized the group and played a role in supporting everyone.
Even after becoming a vice captain, it was the first time I was able to play that role in Nogizaka.
Every day, I was looking for what I should do and what I should do for myself.
He was always thinking about me and what I could do for myself.
I don't have any worries anymore.
And I'm more than happy that Ume is doing it for me.
I'm a little relieved that I was able to pass him on like this.
Ume, please say hello to everyone.
Yes.
Um...
I'm sorry.
I'm going to be the third captain.
Um...
Ever since I joined Nogizaka, I've been watching Reika and Manatsu closely.
After becoming a vice captain, I've been thinking about whether I might be able to play this role someday.
I was always thinking about it.
But when I was told I was going to be a captain, I was very upset.
And when I was in this position for the first time, I realized how much Manatsu-san was carrying.
I think I received a very heavy baton.
But in order to pull myself up from now on,
I think I need this weight and the power to blow away fear.
I want to aim for a group where my juniors can work without anxiety and feelings,
and where my fans can have fun chasing me.
I hope I can do my best little by little in my own way.
Thank you.
I just heard you say hello.
The fear and anxiety at the moment of becoming a captain...
I feel the same way.
I understand how you feel now.
A captain's position is...
As if you're running forward every day.
You may be able to see it from the outside.
I think there are a little more difficult things than you think.
If you have any difficulties or painful moments...
I'd be happy if you could say a lot of warm words to me.
Thank you for your support of Umezawa Minami.
Well then, Ume will introduce you the last song.
Yes, I would like to end my first day of birthday love with this song.
Please listen to it, "Kimi no Na wa Kibou".
The first time I became aware of you was last June, when I was changing into my summer clothes.
I was ignoring the ball that was rolling at me. He waited, looking at the graveyard, until I picked it up.
The Invisible Man, that's what they called me. He noticed my existence.
The light shone through the gaps in the hot clouds, casting a shadow on me above the crown.
I'm used to being alone and always in the sun, but this world that I rejected is beautiful.
When can
I couldn't even imagine that I would miss someone like you so much,
The future is always full of new excitement and encounters. Your name is hope. the future will always meet a new excitement, and your name was hope.
If you don't look back, I won't forget that smile of yours.
No matter what happens, I'll believe you're here for me, and I'll keep walking forward.
I don't know anything about myself, let's hear the truth, come on, I don't know anything, about myself, let's hear the truth, come on.
I could never have imagined that I would miss someone so much.The future is always filled with new excitement and encounters.Your name is hope.
Nothing stops, tomorrow's sky, somewhere,
Thank you very much, everyone!
And with that, the first day of the 46th 11th Year Birthday Live has come to an end!
I was really happy to be able to celebrate my 11th birthday while listening to everyone's voices like this for the first time in a while.
It was the last birthday live for Ayane and me.
And like this, the first birthday to the fifth birthday of the 46th 11th Year Birthday Live has come to an end as the history of Mogizaka.
And with that in mind, I gave you a live performance.
Above all, I just entrusted my captain to Ume, so I feel relieved.
Just like you all supported me as my captain, I hope you will support me as well and protect my smile.
From now on, Mogizaka 46 will move forward, so please take care of me for the 12th year!
Please take care of me!
And with that, thank you very much for today!
Thank you very much!
Bye-bye!
Thank you very much, everyone on the stream!
Thank you very much!
Bye-bye!
