AKB48, have you heard of it before?
AKB48's 20th anniversary is in 2025.
In AKB48's 20 years of history,
we talk about the best parts of AKB48
and how viewers can love AKB48 more.
Today is the 16th and we are in summer vacation period.
Do you have any memories of summer vacation?
I am from Hokkaido.
Summer vacation is shorter than other areas.
When school started,
there were many news about Tokyo's summer vacation.
Like, even though I'm in school...
That's... but which month to which month?
What day?
But schools start in September, right?
Yeah, pretty much.
But they start in mid-August.
That's...
Yeah.
Huh? Isn't it bad?
It's hot?
Isn't it hot?
It's hot.
It's hot?
Does that mean it's like that in Hokkaido?
I think so.
I see.
I think winter break was long.
Because it's cold.
Yes.
I remember watching it while thinking it's nice.
I went to radio exercise every morning.
What?
It was like a district park.
There was.
I went to radio exercise every morning and got a stamp card in elementary school.
Yes.
And when you do radio exercises, you get stabbed by crabs and go home.
I said it before, but it was Amica Bows and stuff.
I couldn't wake up in the morning!
Isn't it pretty early?
It's like 6 and a half or 6 o'clock.
It's early, isn't it?
It's nostalgic.
Do you do something like this every summer?
Eat watermelons!
I definitely eat watermelons!
I love watermelons.
I eat watermelons.
The other day, you gave me a lot of watermelons as a gift.
Watermelons cut into blocks.
It was really good.
I ate a lot by myself.
I'm sorry. Thank you for the food.
Was there anything cute?
When I go outside, I always walk while listening to summer songs.
That's nice.
I don't want to go outside because it's too hot.
So I'm so excited and I feel like I can't go out without it.
I listen to it every year.
What song do you listen to?
What?
I listen to idol's summer songs.
I make a playlist and listen to it forever.
That's nice.
Please share it with me next time.
Please share the playlist.
What do you like most in summer?
I often wear one-piece clothes, and I do today as well,
and I like to wear cute and stylish one-piece clothes,
and I like to think, oh, it may be cute,
and in winter I wear coats, so I tend to be like, oh, it doesn't matter,
but I'm looking forward to going out in summer and trying out different styles of fashion.
That's nice.
But summer snacks like shaved ice and somen noodles, we don't eat them in winter.
So we try to eat them in summer.
During this period of time, we like to eat various kinds of shaved ice and so on.
That's nice.
Lovely.
This year, I saw fireworks, but it was my first time watching them in a gathering.
[PH] What? What do you mean?
You know, we're having a gathering for the Sumida River Fireworks Festival, right?
I wasn't good at gathering people, so I watched it all from beginning to end on TV.
Wow!
With my mom.
It was so much fun.
It sounds fun!
We were doing a break at home, and there was a commentator who came in and said,
like, this firework is like this firework, and with that comment,
it was like, wow, we got to see a new firework.
We were at the theater park that day.
That's right.
Anyway, before we throw fireworks, we should leave the theater as soon as possible.
That's right. There are really a lot of people.
That's how much Kahote-chan enjoyed it.
She was watching it with a good mood and slowly like, oh, fireworks are beautiful.
The last studio project was the first day of the AKB48 20th Year Live Tour 2025 Party Gets Started Tour.
Now, on September 14th, Osaka branch's Gran Cube Osaka will hold a concert.
We don't know what's going on here yet, but we're looking forward to it.
Right? Osaka!
Will the setlist change a little?
What will it be like?
Next is Hiroshima in Osaka.
We have two days in a row, so we're looking forward to it.
Looking forward to it! I want to go there soon!
She wants to go!
Do you have anything in mind when you're performing?
I'm the kind of person who gets confused when I'm nervous.
So I try to think that I'm not nervous.
Wow!
Are you smart?
Yes.
Can you do it?
I can do it.
Really?
I can do it if I think I'm not nervous right before I go on stage.
I can do it if I'm nervous right before I go on stage.
I try to get myself ready.
Let's use it.
I've never heard of it.
It's like brainwashing people with big homo.
Harpio, what do you think?
I'm trying to send a lot of lessons by looking at the eyes especially when I'm close to the fans in theaters.
But when it comes to concerts and tours, there are some places you can't see at big venues.
Yes, yes, yes.
I know you have fans, but until you have fans,
you can't know if they are your fans or not,
you can definitely show them my pink and white colored clothes,
and you can answer them with a rabbit pose.
You can see me!
I'm happy!
I'm trying to appeal that.
That's nice.
That's wonderful.
Seniors often told me at big concert venues to be conscious of the upper part of my face
so I want to be conscious of that a lot in this live performance.
I'm looking forward to it.
Harpion, is there any live performance that you have particularly impressed with so far?
When I was a team 8, I went around 47 prefectures on a nationwide tour.
The tour I did in my hometown Toyama left a great impression on me.
I get excited just by doing it in my hometown, but I've never been to a place where I can stand in front of the audience.
Yes, it was a big surprise for me.
Wow!
And I was able to perform in the center.
I thought it was great to perform in the center in my hometown.
That's great!
I hope we can do it in Hyogo and Hokkaido.
I want to go there.
Let's do it!
In Osaka.
That's right!
Osaka!
It's only a little further.
That's right!
I hope we can do it in Hyogo someday.
Let's do it!
Kawaii, you've been active as a member of AKB48 for about a year and a half.
How was it?
A year and a half...
It went by so quickly.
But it was so intense and deep that I thought it was only a year and a half.
There are a lot of things.
But I was able to show myself at the concert first.
Compared to that time,
I think I was able to grow a little bit when I was on stage other than in the theater.
I couldn't see anything, but I was too focused on myself at first.
I think I've grown a little bit.
I'm glad.
If you have been to Osaka's live show, please leave your comments and impressions in the comments section.
Please tell me!
Please do.
Here is the theme of this week.
The fourth Munekyun Championship!
I participated in this project when it was the second time.
It was like the graduation season of Munekyun.
It was around March.
Graduation is like farewell, right?
So it was really difficult to get that kind of heart.
That's true.
I was really worried about how to connect from there.
The first Valentine's Day heart was given to Araisae-chan.
The second heart was given to me, Hosei Muka.
Wow!
The third queen is Hougen Munekun, and Queen Yagiyazuki-chan was chosen as the queen.
So, I think we will choose the fourth queen this time.
Wait, Hougen is Azu, Tokyo, isn't it?
Certainly.
Azu, Tokyo, isn't it?
What kind of Hougen did you use?
Standard language.
Standard language?
Osaka dialect.
Wow, then...
The fourth one?
Everyone, how is your chest muscle?
How strong is it?
I don't need a 25-year-old's chest muscle.
That's not true.
I don't need it.
I'm looking forward to it.
I...
Chest muscle?
It's my first time.
You don't have to do it that much?
No, chest muscle...
I'm nervous.
It's my first attempt.
It's your first attempt.
I'm not good at saying cheesy lines and such.
I know.
I say it while saying it.
I know.
I'm a little nervous.
Let's do our best.
The situation this time is...
Yes.
It's a summer heart attack.
Summer! But I think summer is quite common.
Make your partner's heart beat faster with a heart attack that only you can do in summer!
Go for it! Go for it! Go for it!
Date, place, time, partner's age, etc. are up to you.
Create a story that you can attack your partner's heart with.
Lastly, I would like to choose someone who is worthy of being the 4th Queen of the Heart Fist.
I'm excited.
I'm excited about the Heart Fist.
Everyone, are you ready?
[PH] Huh?
I think we're ready.
So, we'll decide the order.
What will you do?
What will we do?
Kyoshika, rock-paper-scissors.
We did rock-paper-scissors last time.
Then, rock-paper-scissors.
Are you ready?
Rock-paper-scissors.
You're weak.
Rock-paper-scissors.
You're strong.
Same as last time!
What should I do?
On the contrary, I'll go first.
Last time, I was third.
What? First?
First makes you nervous.
You're a top batter.
But I'll do it as a top batter.
First.
Do you know a cute word?
What?
Second.
I'll be third.
Safe.
Please do it in front of the camera.
Wait, I haven't thought of anything.
What?!
What? Today?
Yes.
First of all,
Yes.
Where you are going on a date,
time,
Yes.
and your partner's age,
please tell me what kind of situation it is!
The place is...
Toyama Prefecture, my hometown Toyama Prefecture.
It's...
a park.
That's what I'll do.
The time is...
Yes.
Well, it's sunset.
Wow! That's nice!
Well...
My opponent's age?!
Is it there?
Well...
My opponent's age?!
Well, goodbye.
When I was young, I went back to high school and was in the same generation.
I was a high school boy and a high school girl.
I was in middle school.
I'll say middle school.
OK.
Middle school?
You like middle school.
OK.
Are you ready?
Yes!
OK, let's start.
Three, two, one, go!
Hey, Eito-kun, it's been hot lately, hasn't it?
Huh? Isn't it?
Ah! It's dry!
Ah! I held hands!
That's all.
Cute.
I didn't know you could do it.
You're in middle school, right?
Yes, I am!
You're so cute!
I'm in middle school.
You're in middle school.
But do you connect to the word “what?”
I do!
Do you have “Q?” in between?
Yes, we do.
I do!
You connected through “What?”
That's right.
Wait, what?
We say, “A?” in between and say, “A?”
There is a “ca” in between them.
You are a middle school student.
I am a middle school student.
Even if I have a toothache.
Even if you have a toothache.
Thank you.
This is difficult.
I don't know what you are talking about.
I know, right?
Really.
This is difficult.
I'm nervous.
Next.
Kawaii.
This is difficult.
You got a Joe once.
Next is about the breast-feeding.
Great.
This is difficult.
Kawaii.
First of all, the date, place, time, and the other party's age, and other situations.
OK.
The place is a summer festival.
Nice.
At the festival...
What was it?
Time?
Time and the other party's age?
Situation...
Hmm...
The other party's age is...
Older.
Oh!
Older.
The time is about a normal festival.
What? I'm nervous.
I'm nervous.
But I've been thinking about it.
Really?
I've been thinking about it with Momoka Ito.
Are you ready?
Yes, please.
Then, until Kawaii-chan's chest.
3, 2, 1, go!
Festival is fun, isn't it ?
Oh, there is a shop for oyster rice.
Shall we go there and buy some ?
Well...
Strawberries and...
Blue Hawaii... Which one shall we buy ?
Well...
Can we eat both of them ?
Let's share one !
That's all !
Yay !
Cute !
Nice!
She's embarrassed!
Nice!
How was it?
It's embarrassing!
Cute!
So cute!
Are you going to do a face-to-face meeting?
Yes
That's nice
I'm shaking
I'm shaking out of nervousness
But you'll be a queen after this.
Oh, no.
Shall I go now?
Go ahead.
I'm tired.
Once a queen, now a hotte.
How pathetic.
Well then, where are you going?
The place is...
On my way home from club activities.
Yes, your time is over too.
My time is over too.
What's your partner's age?
Well, I guess I'm a senpai.
Well then, are you ready?
Yes!
Then, second time, Jouhoteimokane!
Please stop!
Then, up to your chest size, 3, 2, 1, go!
Ah, club activities again today, I'm tired.
Isn't ground training crazy?
Ah, hey, hey, can I go to that convenience store and buy ice cream?
I bought it!
Ah, I'm tired.
This is very delicious!
Delicious! Hey, do you eat this ice cream?
Hey, this ice cream and me, which one is better?
Cute!
Certainly!
Wow! Sudden appeal!
I was embarrassed so I deceived you.
That's right. Your catchphrase is...
Oh, really?
You say it's sweet.
Yes, I did. I tried it.
Cute.
How about yours, Your Highness?
As expected of you.
It was different.
How about you, Hotei?
I was nervous.
I'm tired.
I'm always discouraged.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you.
Well, well.
Well...
I'm sorry.
You're not so energetic.
Now that we've finished our group part,
we'll decide who we think is the best.
Let's call out the person who we think is the best.
OK.
Are you ready?
Ready, go!
Oh! Oh!
Is it itchy?
Kawaii? Me?
So, the 4th Munekin Queen is Kawaii-chan!
Yay!
Kawaii!
That was the 4th Munekin Queen final match!
And so...
Since we're here, we'll introduce AKB48's songs.
The theme is...
AKB48's soothing song that calms your heart!
Soothing song...
Yes!
In summer...
Hotetta!
We'll introduce AKB48's soothing song that calms your hotetta mood in summer!
Everyone, please write down the song title.
What should we write?
I'm not sure.
Can I say two?
Can I say two? Two songs.
You're going to write two songs?
Yes.
I couldn't choose.
As I thought.
So, everyone.
Are you ready?
Yes!
Then, let's flip the cards!
One, two!
Ta-dah!
I'm going to play two songs.
One is called Senaka Kotoba and the other is called Yuiri.
Both of them are senior singers' graduation songs.
Senaka Kotoba is by Takahashi Minami.
Yuiri is Yuri Murayama's graduation song, and I love their singing voice.
They are my respected seniors and favorites, and I want to listen to their singing voice forever.
I just want to repeat their healing voice for the rest of my life.
I couldn't choose between these two songs.
I can't choose. I know.
I want you to listen to both.
I chose a fantasy song.
I feel healed when I see something cute.
I chose this song because it's cute no matter who sees it or listens to it.
I chose the last song, which is my favorite.
I was healed by Harutyon's ears, so I thought I could heal by looking at it with my eyes, but it's cute.
Girls touching cute dogs and watching it is healing.
The MV is also great.
The MV of the swimsuit is also very cute and you can watch it many times.
I know.
It's comforting.
So we chose it.
A calming song of AKB48. Please listen to it.
The theme is this.
AKB48's God Summer Song that you want to listen only in summer!
AKB48 has a lot of songs that you can listen to anytime,
but we will announce AKB48's God Summer Song that you want to listen only in summer!
Everyone, please write down the song title for us.
Summer! That's why!
I think it's important.
There are many songs.
There are many songs in AKB.
We couldn't choose all of them.
We've put them up.
Let's open it up.
One, two!
Ta-dah!
I chose the song,
《yūhi wo miteiru ka?》
I like the summer scenery and the sunset,
so I want to listen to it in the summer.
The lyrics are warm and kind,
and they cheer me up.
like, you dream like you do, and there are lyrics that touch you,
or in summer, when it's a little evening, I hope cicadas cry and listen to this song.
Doesn't it touch you?
Like on your way home.
Yes, I really want to listen to it on my way home from club activities.
It's lovely.
I chose it.
Lovely!
Even when I was performing, I was singing while dying.
I feel like I'm about to cry.
I'm Sobacus's Kiss.
It's a cute song with glitter.
I think we get tired of summer in summer vacation and so on.
After listening to this song and spending summer, I feel like I can spend my summer with a bright feeling and glitter.
I've been listening to this song recently.
There is also a summer kiss in the chorus.
Yes, shaved ice is also sold.
Yes, there are a lot of summer items.
Wow, that's nice.
I know.
Wow, that's nice.
It is nice.
Well, I will sing
Under the Hedgehog.
It is a song selected by
under 22 of
JKB about 3 years ago.
Hote-chan is also
participating in this song.
The music video was like...how do I say it...
It was like AKB back in the summer.
I know!
It's a school playground and they use water splashes for their dance.
Are you dancing on a puddle of water?
Yes, I'm dancing on a water hose with my white and blue clothes on.
I thought it was wonderful to feel like summer youth's AKB.
And there is a pool in front of the lip scene where members have cameras close to their faces.
Yes.
It was leaking everywhere.
I was like, what's going on?
Really?
It was like 100% wet there.
Really?
Yes, it was too humid at night.
When was that?
We shot it at the last minute.
It was crazy.
Everyone is so cute.
Very cute.
Actually, I did it with 100% knowledge and skills.
AKB48's God's Song that you want to listen to because it's summer.
Please listen to it a lot.
So, how was it?
I thought it was difficult to say,
I've been thinking about the situation and getting it.
I thought it would be difficult if you told me to think about it all.
I'm so happy to have met such a cute girl like you.
Thank you.
I was nervous at first,
but you were so kind and looked after me.
It was such a comfortable environment for me.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I'm glad you liked it.
I'm Makashi Kita of AKB48.
See you again!
Bye bye!
