AISubs v3.8.3
I’ve heard about AKB48!
It's been 20 years since AKB48 debuted in 2025.
We hope that this show will be a chance for viewers and fans to love AKB48 more.
We, 17 year-olds, will deliver it again.
Please do.
Today is August last and the summer is coming to an end.
Did you do anything summery?
We didn't do anything.
We wore yukata together.
That's right.
We shook hands and wore yukata and obi.
But you said we'd go to a swimming pool together.
You said you'd wear swimming pants.
No, not even goggles.
Without a fashionable swimsuit.
We'd swim seriously.
We said we'd go in the same swimsuit, but we couldn't.
And a few years ago...
We had a barbecue.
We did.
I want to do it again!
Yeah! I want to do it!
Now we're all grown up, so we can do it ourselves.
That's right. We can still make it.
We're not done yet.
Let's go, then.
I want to go.
Yeah...
We have a tour this year.
Yeah.
I'm grateful.
Then, let's go to a rural area and light fireworks together.
Yeah!
I'll definitely do that!
You've done it before, right?
Yeah, I have.
I did fireworks with members Hotei Muka, Masai Mayu, and Kudo Kasumi, who is 18 years old.
It was fun. I love fireworks.
I know. But you haven't done it for a long time.
I wanted to go to a firework festival, but I didn't have a plan.
I went to a place where the fireworks were a few kilometers away and looked at them at the end of the park.
That's an unexpected combination.
I haven't seen fireworks since I was in first grade of high school.
And I came to Tokyo.
I didn't watch fireworks for about six years.
I didn't go to the fireworks festival.
I don't think you've been to a firework festival at all.
But you want to see fireworks.
You like fireworks, so you say you want to see fireworks.
Then, a fan told me about the fireworks festival summary until September in Tokyo.
I'm so grateful for that.
But all the plans are overlapping and it seems impossible.
The fireworks festival is just on the day of the tour.
Yeah, we were doing it when we weren't in Kanto.
Last year, we went on a tour of Osaka.
Yeah, we did.
We couldn't go.
I heard there was a firework show in Osaka too.
A taxi driver asked us if we went to a firework show.
We didn't know about it.
We asked him if it was true and he said it was rare.
I thought young people would go.
Yeah.
We have a lot of things we want to do.
But it was a fun summer.
Now, let's get started with the project.
Today's theme is...
A strange episode talk that will blow away your worries.
Horror or weird stuff?
But it could be human-like horror.
True, there's also scary stuff.
We'd like to talk about weird experiences you've had in the past three minutes.
Okay.
Okay...
Three minutes...
Three minutes... that's a long time.
I'll do my best.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Oh...
Three minutes...
Who's going first?
But...
Can we...
Can we just talk about what we heard?
I think we can just talk about what we heard.
Then...
Who's going first?
Can we do rock-paper-scissors?
Who's the scariest person?
I think Eriko is scary.
Then I'll go last.
Eriko is scary.
She's always scary.
Is she funny?
She's funny.
Is she funny?
You believe it.
This time it's serious.
You believe it? Which do you like?
Like before.
I like stories about me falling down...
I like stories about me getting cold sweat.
But for Miyu, it's not something you've experienced before.
That sounds scary.
I'm curious about that too.
Which one?
Let's do rock-paper-scissors with Yuki.
Rock-paper-scissors.
I'll go first.
Okay.
Can I?
Yes, please.
Okay. First of all,
I heard this scary story from one of my senior high school students.
My high school had a history of wars.
In high school, my mom had a scary experience like my seniors.
My seniors asked me to go to the bathroom with them.
So I went to the bathroom with my friends.
But my friends didn't come out of the bathroom.
I thought I had to go home because class started and I was drunk.
So my seniors went back to class.
And for some reason, that friend of hers is in class.
I said,
Huh? When did you go back to the bathroom?
She said,
Huh? I didn't say anything about going.
Huh?
And that high school has a lot of toilets.
But, the oldest one,
It's dark and the most out of the way,
It's called the old school car, and she's invited to the toilet and going.
Huh?
And what my mother experienced was,
There is a corridor that can only be used one way.
If you go like this, you have to go through the same road to go home.
The lady at the canteen and my mother were talking.
Then a teacher passed by and said,
When my mother said hello to the teacher,
The teacher seemed to have a strange start and was given a vague start.
I was talking with a woman at a cafeteria about how she didn't say hello back to me.
Then, even though I hadn't come back, the teacher passed me by again and said,
You passed by earlier, didn't you? You said hello, didn't you?
The teacher said, I didn't pass by, but who are you talking about?
I said, I'm scared!
Maybe Ren in that high school can be someone.
What?!
[PH] It's scary.
Scary!
And the hallway there is a little slanted.
That's also for a reason.
The hallway used in the war.
It happened in a hallway with a slanted door.
Scary!
Wait, it's really scary!
It's really scary! Isn't it the scariest one?
But I didn't feel anything.
I was in high school.
I didn't feel anything, but...
Well, it's been a while.
I felt it.
That's it!
No, it's scary!
I'm scared. I can't talk about it myself.
It's so scary.
I mean, what were they planning to do by taking me to the bathroom?
If we just kept waiting like that, what would have happened?
I was thinking about what they might have done to get me back to class.
That's true.
That?
That's what you mean?
I don't know. I don't know the truth, but...
I'm scared.
But there are many rumors about my high school.
Nobody knows for sure, but there are many rumors.
But it's the scariest story I've heard.
I'm glad you're scared.
I'm happy!
[PH] I'm scared!
Next, Yuki.
Okay.
It's not a horror story.
It's about how I was so scared that my back was frozen.
Last summer, I promised to go somewhere for a trip.
I was super excited about it.
I looked up a train transfer station.
I left home in a hurry and got on the train.
And no matter how many minutes passed,
I couldn't find the destination I was supposed to arrive at.
I didn't care how many times I looked, so I got off the train at least once.
And I got on the opposite side and thought,
I wonder if it's time for me to get off. I thought I'd just missed it.
And I looked again.
But I didn't. I turned it around four times.
And on the way, I noticed I was on the wrong train station.
I changed trains, but I missed them again.
This time I got on the wrong train and spent 30 minutes on the wrong side of the train.
I was waiting for my train, but there was no station to get off.
I was surprised and asked my friend when I would arrive.
I called my friend many times and apologized.
I made my friend wait.
It took me about three and a half hours to get to my destination.
I was like, what?!
I've never made a wrong change of train or overslept in my life.
So I was shocked by my own words.
My back was frozen and my friends were surprised, too.
I was really shocked.
Because you always change trains for me.
Even when we're together.
If you follow her, you'll find her.
She's so reliable that you can reach her.
It's rare.
I don't know what happened.
But I couldn't get off the train.
I looked up a train service app and saw a train station, but I couldn't get off.
I thought I forgot to get off, but I couldn't get off.
And in the end, the train that I got off and the one I got on had different lines and I remembered them by their opposite names.
So I was looking for a train that didn't exist in the same line.
And it was too late for me to notice that.
I spent the day being afraid that I wouldn't reach my destination for the rest of my life.
It's like a dream story.
Yeah!
I was so scared and scattered that I thought,
-"This was a good dream."
It was a scary and strange story.
Strange, right?
Next up...
Eriko.
I'm really looking forward to it, Eriko!
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared!
Okay.
I...
Um...
This is about when I lived in my parents' house in Osaka.
When I was in Osaka, we didn't really get sad.
But at night, we got sad about two or three times.
The first time, we got sad and then we got used to it.
That day, I had a mirror in my room at my parent's house.
It was a mirror that my mom used to use.
I always wore a towel over it, but I forgot to do it.
The mirror was fully opened. It was quite a big mirror.
And then, when I got sad for the second time, it melted away.
And then, when I got sad for the third time, I thought it was crazy.
I looked at it with my eyes slightly open and my hands pulled towards the mirror.
I was sleeping, but it was like this.
And I looked at it like this and there was a mirror there and it was pulling me towards the mirror.
I thought I was going to go into a mirror.
I thought I was in trouble.
I was sad, but I couldn't move.
But my hands were pulled all the time.
I was like, oh my god, and I just moved my mouth a little.
I was like, oh my god, what should I do?
I panicked and took a deep breath.
I tried to calm down and wait for it to melt, but it didn't melt at all.
I was like, oh my god, what should I do?
But I realized that I could only say, oh my god, with my mouth,
I realized it.
I was holding onto my thoughts, like Namu Amitabha or Nammy Holy Sermon, while trembling.
Then, I let go of my tie.
But I was too scared.
I thought I was being pulled into a mirror.
I was so scared and hurried to put a towel on me.
On that day, I didn't tie my tie again even if I went to bed.
Mirror?
Yeah.
I was scared. I was seriously pulled by the mirror and thought I'd go in.
That's scary.
I'm really worried about that.
There are episodes like that.
Scary.
Like, in horror anime and dramas, there are a lot of endings where you get caught up in things like mirrors and stuff like that.
I was really scared.
Maybe Eriko is in the world of mirrors now?
The real Eriko may be in the world of mirrors.
Maybe. Maybe I'm in a different Eriko right now.
That's the scariest thing.
But it's really scary.
But right now, my room is just a mirror.
And I have a pillow next to me, which is quite far away, so I'm trying to be careful.
You can put a towel on it.
It's scary.
And what about the mirror?
The mirror is like...
a mirror for putting on makeup.
Yeah, like a makeup stand.
Yeah, it's like a makeup stand mirror,
We can't close it.
Oh, I see.
It's always there in the basement.
Wow!
Scary.
It's scary.
Finally, we will decide whose episode was the weirdest.
Yes, we decided.
Are you ready?
Yes!
Let's go!
One, two...
Wow!
Mizushima?
Lake!
Yes!
It was a lake!
My high school story was the scariest one for me.
I was so nervous.
I was scared.
Not because of horror movies or anything, but I felt weird because it was Yuki-tan.
I was really scared when she said she felt weird because it was Yuki-tan.
I was scared of everything.
Same.
I was scared of Yuzumin's story, like, really scary and stuff.
That's true.
I was scared of it.
I'm glad.
That's all for our episode talk!
Yay!
Lastly, we have prepared a song introduction video.
The theme is...
If you're AKB48, you know this.
Fast forward lyrics quiz!
Oh!
I think fans will like this.
Yeah.
A part of a song will be played.
Look at the lyrics and guess what song it is.
Okay.
But you look strong.
You look like you can do it.
The person with the most correct answers will win.
I'm embarrassed that you didn't even answer one question.
That's right.
We're Ekibi Potato.
I'll do my best.
So viewers, please think about it with us.
Are you ready, everyone?
Yes!
Let's do it!
What's this? A desk band?
What do you mean?
Can we do it with a desk band?
Here is the first question.
What?
Yes, yes.
Ponytail and embroidery.
What?
Yes!
Wait! I know!
Yes! I wanted to meet you!
No! No!
Which one?
It's similar.
I wanted to meet you.
Wasn't there a shirt like this in Ponyche in Japan?
The song is different.
It's frustrating.
I wanted to meet you.
It's frustrating.
It's difficult.
I understood it because it's in my heart.
The melody is similar.
The correct answer is
I wanted to meet you.
Here is the second question.
[PH] Wow!
OK
river
Oh, yes
That's it!
Itsudatte yume wa...
But it suddenly flows in my head...
Amazing.
It's a good lyric.
So, the correct answer is...
Beginner!
Huh?
River!
Ah!
Okay!
So, the correct answer is...
River!
Yuki-san is correct!
Congratulations!
It's getting a little harder from the next one.
We haven't answered the first one yet.
Here is the third question.
Wow, wait, what was this?
What was it?
Wait a minute.
What is it?
It's a song, isn't it?
Yes.
What is it?
This is not a sudden protest song.
I can't get a rhythm at all.
Right?
Difficult!
Something...eh? Hint! Hint?
Until I can say I love you, my summer hasn't ended yet.
It hasn't ended yet.
How long has it been?
Until I can say I love you, my summer hasn't ended yet.
2015.
It's just a season I like, so I don't know.
Are you single?
Single.
Summer.
What? No!
Love Trip.
No?
Wait, wait.
Summer never ends.
I'm getting one rhythm, but I can't even get the rhythm of the song.
Like, is this it? But I can't get that rhythm.
What?
If you suddenly put it out in the text, nothing will come out.
It's a summer song, isn't it?
Is it a summer song?
It's summer.
That's right.
Fifteen years...
Oh, my God. I'm embarrassed.
I'm getting embarrassed.
I'm embarrassed.
What is it?
Are you reporting me? I'm not reporting you. Please twist your head a little.
But you're a single, right?
How many people will be selected?
I'm sure...
Wait...
It's difficult.
What? A single?
Like lyrics of No. 2.
Oh, I see.
It's a lot, right?
But it's definitely different. I've never heard of it like this.
What?
I thought it was love love doll.
Love love doll, luka river?
What? No way!
It's 2015, so I thought so.
But there's no rhythm at all.
Oh, my God. It's like a heart-pounding song.
I don't know.
Where is the lyric?
It's difficult!
I want to hear it.
It's difficult!
I always remember it in one half.
Like, cha-cha-cha, right?
Yeah.
This is my third question and I'm already thinking about it.
But we all got one question right, right?
Yeah.
I don't know this one.
But I'm giving you a hint.
It's an old song, and it's a single song like this.
But it's a rap song, but...
Yeah, it is.
It's hard.
Ah, further ahead?
It's so good!
It's such good lyrics!
It's so good!
We don't really sing songs that are just for show, but the second verse is so good!
But we got it right!
Yay!
It's such good lyrics!
Let's listen to it again.
Right?
So, the third song was love love doll – retrieval.
Yeah!
Next, here is the fourth question!
Wow, nothing's coming out!
Huh? It just came out but...
It came out!
I feel like I've done it recently.
I can't help it.
I like it.
I like it a lot.
I feel like I've done it before.
What?
Nemohaoluma!
Ah!
Can you believe it?
We did a tour.
That's why!
It's dawn.
Can you believe it if you look at it until dawn?
It's amazing!
It's so intense that not many people pay attention to the lyrics.
It's a very good lyric.
The fourth one was Nemohomo Rumor.
The next one is the last question.
Here is the final question.
[PH] What is the meaning of this?
[PH] What is this?
What?
This is...
One, two, three, four?
One, two, three, four!
We're in love!
Yay!
We're in charge of the medley.
We're 17 and 16, so we're happy.
We all got to answer in the end.
We had a good ending.
The last song was We're in Love.
Now we've answered all the questions.
The result is...
3 points, 2 points, 2 points.
I, Hashimoto Eriko, got 3 points.
Ohtaeki-chan got 2 points.
Mizushima Miyu-chan got 2 points.
The winner is...
Hashimoto Eriko-chan!
Eri-chan was really strong.
She was really happy.
I learned that there are many good songs.
I'd like to pay more attention to the lyrics.
That's it for the quick lyrics quiz!
Yay! It was so fun!
It was fun!
So, everyone, how was it?
It was fun and...
It was fun!
I thought I'd read more of AKB's lyrics and listen to their second song.
I thought so too!
It’s called “Labrador Retroper.”
That song is so good!
My summer won't end until I say I love you.
You're a god.
Ms. Akimoto is a god.
She's the best.
So, this has been AKB's main store and old Shikita.
See you next week!
Bye-bye!
