00:23We want to show you the future of AKB48.
00:27Hello, we are AKB48.
00:30We have 17 members in total.
00:36How old are you, Staff?
00:39What?
00:40How old are you?
00:41Don't divide me by age.
00:44I'm the oldest member,
00:46and the 13th member is the oldest.
00:49I'm one of the members who will be the next generation.
00:52We're going to make it together.
00:54Nice to meet you.
00:55Nice to meet you, too.
00:57I'm relieved that Saho is here.
01:00We're all on the same show,
01:03so I'm relieved.
01:05But it's like a kindergarten.
01:08It's like we're all in the same class.
01:11It's like we're all in the same class.
01:15AKB48 will be celebrating its 20th anniversary.
01:2010 years ago, Eri wasn't born yet.
01:25She's not alive.
01:28She's not even in my stomach.
01:30How old are you?
01:31I'm 18 years old now.
01:34First of all, you don't exist.
01:37We're 20 years old.
01:40We're the same age.
01:42I was born in 2005,
01:45and I'm 0 years old when AKB48 was formed.
01:50Oh, I see.
01:52Did you choose AKB48 among so many idols?
01:59Yes.
02:00I used to like idols because of AKB48,
02:05but AKB48's costumes are cute.
02:10I wanted to wear that costume.
02:13I wanted to dress up as an idol.
02:19I didn't know that.
02:20But I got used to it.
02:23I love costumes, so I joined AKB48.
02:26I see.
02:27That's great.
02:28I didn't know that.
02:29I didn't say that much.
02:32AKB48's charm is the costumes and the theater.
02:38There are a lot of famous songs that touch your heart.
02:46I'm going to talk about them today.
02:49Today's theme is...
02:52AKB48's KAMINKYUKU, which I was most influenced by.
02:58KAMINKYUKU.
03:00KAMINKYUKU is a 3-minute song.
03:043 minutes?
03:06I'm going to talk about AKB48,
03:09and I'm going to brainwash AKB48's fans.
03:14Mayu Masai, please.
03:17Mayu, are you ready?
03:20Yes.
03:21Ready, go!
03:23The song I was most influenced by is...
03:27SHONICHI.
03:29Here it is.
03:30When I think about it,
03:33it's the first song I fell in love with AKB48.
03:38It's an album called KAMIKYUKU.
03:42I bought AKB48's album KAMIKYUKU for the first time.
03:48This is the song in the album.
03:52I've been learning gymnastics since I was four years old.
03:58In the lyrics,
04:00it says,
04:01I had a tough lesson,
04:04but I overcame my own wall,
04:06and now I have a chance.
04:08Before the competition,
04:10my mom often called me in the car.
04:13It's a song that brings back memories with my family.
04:18As for the lyrics,
04:21as AKB48,
04:24when we are active,
04:27there are times when we are frustrated or in trouble,
04:31but sometimes we cry without being able to dance alone,
04:35and sometimes we lose confidence.
04:38It's a song that brings back those dark feelings to a bright one.
04:46I think there are a lot of people who like it on the first day.
04:51It's really KAMIKYUKU.
04:53I think everyone has memories according to the lyrics,
04:57so I hope you listen to it a lot.
05:00This is a song that made me think that AKB48 is good.
05:08It's a song I recommend.
05:12Is it over?
05:13It's over.
05:14There's more.
05:15It's nostalgic.
05:17What is it?
05:19Three minutes is a long time.
05:22Let's dance with all our might.
05:24Let's sing with all our might.
05:26Don't forget to take a picture.
05:27With all your might.
05:29When we do this live,
05:31we have a sense of unity with the fans.
05:34It's a call-and-response.
05:37When we ask,
05:39the fans will give us back.
05:42It's a really fun song to do live.
05:46And...
05:51We always have an engine in front of this song.
05:55This is also an engine that has been passed down for generations.
06:01I feel the history there.
06:03I'm always doing it with the feeling that we're going to open up our era.
06:11What should I do?
06:16I love this song.
06:17It's the best.
06:20It's the best.
06:21One, two, three.
06:23Three minutes is a long time.
06:25Three minutes is a long time.
06:26It's a long time.
06:28There's a lot of time left.
06:31But I feel like it's going to be like that.
06:34What were you looking at?
06:36Lyrics.
06:37Lyrics?
06:38I was looking at the lyrics.
06:40It's amazing.
06:41I don't think your face is in the video.
06:43I didn't look like that.
06:45You were introducing me.
06:48I'm going to add more episodes while I'm performing.
06:54It's not just for people who like AKB.
06:58It's a project that we're going to increase.
07:00There are people who don't know.
07:02I have to talk with my hands.
07:04There's a song called the first day.
07:07If you start talking with what everyone knows,
07:09There may be people who can't keep up with you.
07:11That's right.
07:12I've got a new sense of value.
07:14I'll do my best next time.
07:17Who should I choose next?
07:20You don't have to choose.
07:24If you say,
07:26I'll go.
07:27I'll go.
07:29Then.
07:31Start
07:33Yes.
07:34Hello, everyone.
07:35AKB48.
07:37I'm Airi Sato, 17 years old.
07:40Do you know me?
07:42You don't know me, do you?
07:43Yes.
07:44I'm the most.
07:46I didn't know.
07:47It's a god's song.
07:49This is the AKB song that influenced me the most.
07:52It's a big diamond.
07:54Yes.
07:55I think a lot of people know this song.
08:01I'm AKB48 now.
08:04I'm going to explain it to you.
08:07One of the things that influenced me about this song is.
08:13The first time I saw the music video.
08:17It was a big diamond.
08:19I've been a fan of this song since before I joined.
08:24When I made my debut as a 17th grader,
08:29I was in the center for the first time with this song.
08:35I think this song is a turning point for AKB48.
08:42Of course, the lyrics.
08:44The costumes.
08:46AKB is like a red check.
08:50I think the song was very impressive.
08:56I think the good thing about this song is.
09:01As soon as the intro starts,
09:04I feel like the concert venue is dyed in the color of the big diamond.
09:13I feel like it's already started.
09:16I really like that.
09:19I recently got a promotion.
09:24When I got a promotion, I performed a big diamond.
09:29I was really influenced.
09:33Of course, this song is the representative song of AKB48.
09:39I'm sure there are people who don't know this song.
09:46If you don't know this song, please listen to it.
09:50And the performance.
09:52Of course, the video of the seniors of AKB48, which is called the previous century.
09:59The big diamond that AKB is showing now.
10:03I'm really passionate about it.
10:06I'm doing my best to perform.
10:09I really like the part where I say I like it with my fans.
10:15When I perform at concerts,
10:18When I say I like it,
10:20Everyone looks at me.
10:23I really like that.
10:25Everyone, please listen to the big diamond at the concert.
10:31Bye bye.
10:33It's perfect.
10:35Genius.
10:37I was nervous.
10:38I have a lot of thoughts.
10:40First of all, I'm going to introduce myself.
10:45That's how I earned my position.
10:48I was curious at first.
10:50I was wondering where I was going.
10:52But I can tell you the history of the song and what kind of song it is for AKB.
10:58I thought it was a great introduction.
11:00It's better than before.
11:02I heard a lot about the song.
11:06Don't you have a lot to say about yourself?
11:11Was it a lot?
11:13I think so.
11:15It's a show for the next generation.
11:19I thought I should do it.
11:22I want everyone to know.
11:24I want you to know me and I want you to know the song.
11:28It's an appeal.
11:30The youngest, Eri.
11:32Eri.
11:34Are you ready?
11:36Yes.
11:38Let's get started.
11:40Start.
11:42I'm Eriko Hashimoto.
11:44This is the song that was influenced by AKB48.
11:48You are me.
11:52This is a solo song by Atsuko Maeda.
11:58Before I fell in love with AKB48, I fell in love with Atsuko Maeda.
12:05I admired her.
12:07That's how I got to know AKB48.
12:10Atsuko Maeda has released a lot of solo songs.
12:17Among them, I like the song, You are me, the most.
12:21Among the fans of Atsuko Maeda,
12:26This song is a love letter to Atsuko Maeda.
12:36The lyrics of the song are very good.
12:41At the end of the chorus,
12:44Even if you are worried or clumsy,
12:47I like you who never changes with a smile.
12:51I can relate to the lyrics.
12:55I can also relate to the clumsy part.
13:05I sang this song at the audition.
13:09I still remember this song.
13:14I was very nervous at the audition.
13:17When I heard the lyrics,
13:22I was so nervous that I almost cried.
13:27I sang this song with a smile for the first time.
13:32I still remember this song.
13:35I like Atsuko Maeda very much.
13:38I chose this song.
13:41Every time I listen to this song,
13:45I remember going back to the beginning and the audition.
13:50I listen to this song when I want to go back to the beginning.
13:55I listen to this song when I'm worried.
14:00The music video is also a story.
14:08If you haven't seen it yet, please watch it.
14:16I like the music video, the song, and the way of singing.
14:22Please listen to it.
14:27And...
14:30I think it's a very good song.
14:38Please listen to it.
14:41It's over.
14:44It's difficult.
14:47I think I was able to convey my favorite part of the song.
14:53I already knew that Eri likes Atsuko Maeda.
14:58I felt again that I like her so much in these three minutes.
15:05I think it's a song that made Eri join AKB48.
15:12I'm very grateful for this song.
15:16Who are you looking at?
15:18I'm looking at you.
15:20I was most interested in the song.
15:23The first song.
15:25I was attracted to the song.
15:28I thought it was Eri's style.
15:32I was surprised that 17th generation was so serious.
15:35I agree.
15:37I thought my peers were more cold.
15:41What kind of era did you live in?
15:43I thought my peers were more cold.
15:47I don't know what to say.
15:53I'm in trouble.
15:55I agree.
15:57I was surprised that there were so many peaceful members.
16:01I was surprised that there were so many peaceful members.
16:04We are always like this.
16:08We are always like this.
16:12We are always like this.
16:14I drank a cup of tea.
16:17Next is SORA.
16:20ZAKI.
16:22I'm going.
16:24I'm sorry.
16:26I was alone facing the camera.
16:30Please pay attention to SORA.
16:36Are you ready?
16:38Yes.
16:41Start.
16:43I'm 17th generation SORA.
16:46My song is.
16:51It's a song from November.
16:55It's a song from November.
16:57I agree.
16:59It's a song chosen by MAYU WATANABE.
17:08I fell in love with AKB48 when I was in kindergarten.
17:13I fell in love with AKB48 when I was in kindergarten.
17:15When I turned on the TV, there was a cute idol dancing.
17:22I thought it was cute.
17:25I started to be interested in idols.
17:29I was attracted to MAYU WATANABE.
17:34He is very cute.
17:37He is very cute.
17:42He is very cute.
17:46I started to be interested in idols.
17:51I fell in love with AKB48.
17:55I started to see various idols.
17:59The November survey was the beginning of me.
18:03The second song.
18:06Why did I choose the second song?
18:08It's a double song.
18:12It's a song I like.
18:16I like all the songs.
18:19It's a song that moved my life.
18:23We couldn't go to school because of COVID-19.
18:31I saw NEMOHAMO RUMOR.
18:34I thought AKB48 was good in the past.
18:38I thought AKB48 was good in the past.
18:41I thought AKB48 was good in the past.
18:44I came back to AKB48.
18:47I came back to AKB48.
18:50I found the announcement of the 17th generation of the audition.
18:55I thought I had to apply for this.
18:59I auditioned for NEMOHAMO RUMOR.
19:02I auditioned for NEMOHAMO RUMOR.
19:05Suddenly.
19:07Suddenly.
19:09NEMOHAMO RUMOR.
19:11It's a good song.
19:13It's a good song.
19:14I only have 30 seconds left.
19:16I only have 30 seconds left.
19:18I talked about it earlier.
19:20I thought AKB48 was good in the past.
19:23I thought AKB48 was good in the past.
19:26I think NEMOHAMO RUMOR has a lot of lyrics in it.
19:29I think NEMOHAMO RUMOR has a lot of lyrics in it.
19:31NEMOHAMO RUMOR has a lot of lyrics in it.
19:37You can feel NEMOHAMO RUMOR's growth.
19:39I thought it was good to have lyrics in it.
19:42I thought it was good to have lyrics in it.
19:43Over!
19:45This is hard.
19:50I want to talk to you guys.
19:52I want to talk to you guys.
19:54I was like, I can't reach it, I can't reach it, I went somewhere.
19:57It was hard.
19:59It was a hard presentation.
20:00But you released 2 songs for the first time.
20:04Yeah, it was the first time.
20:06So I thought 2 songs would be not enough.
20:091 song would be too much.
20:122 songs...
20:13I think I put too much in 2 songs.
20:16Oh, you put too much in.
20:17You were in a hurry in 30 seconds.
20:19Yeah, I was surprised in 30 seconds.
20:21I was like, oh my god.
20:23You said you have a lot of ears and hands.
20:25But you didn't have any at first.
20:28But as the second half went on, I couldn't hold my right hand.
20:33You were like this for the last 10 seconds.
20:35I was like this.
20:37I was turning it around.
20:39When I hold a sketchbook, I can hold it with one hand.
20:45But when I talk with one hand, I can't stop.
20:48I can't stop talking.
20:51I didn't know it was this hard.
20:52It's really hard.
20:54I think a lot of people auditioned because of Nemoha Moruma.
21:00I think so, too.
21:02It was just right.
21:04When I auditioned, I was 17.
21:07It was the release period of Nemoha Moruma.
21:11I thought you were there at that time.
21:14I was wondering what you were doing.
21:17I thought you were watching from the outside.
21:20I was surprised by that.
21:22I didn't come in from there.
21:28Nemoha Moruma is amazing.
21:31We didn't think we'd be dancing.
21:35When I auditioned, I thought it was cool.
21:39It's like a dream for us to join and dance to Nemoha Moruma.
21:48Finally, the veteran, Saho Iwatate.
21:52I'm sorry.
21:56Are you ready?
21:58Yes, I'm ready.
21:59Let's start.
22:02This is the song that influenced me the most.
22:07It's called Jibun Rashisa.
22:11This is a song in the album called Kamikyokutachi.
22:19I listened to this song before I joined AKB48.
22:26I bought this album for the first time.
22:31I've been watching AKB48 for a long time.
22:35I've been a fan of idols since I was a kid.
22:40I want to be on stage someday.
22:43I used to be very introverted.
22:49I didn't think I could be like that.
22:52I went to a middle school and a high school.
22:56It was a new school.
22:59I thought I was going to take the college entrance exam.
23:02I lived at school all the time.
23:06But I couldn't give up my childhood admiration.
23:10I've been secretly auditioning all the time.
23:13That's when I met this song.
23:16The lyrics of this song are...
23:19As I grow up, I realize that life is not eternal.
23:25When I heard the lyrics of this song,
23:33I realized that if I give up what I want to do, I'll regret it.
23:43The lyrics and my feelings at that time were linked.
23:49When this album was released,
23:53I had a routine of listening to the album before going to bed every night.
23:59It's not the last song.
24:04I listened to this song again at the end of the day.
24:08I made up my mind and went to bed.
24:11That's what I was doing at the time.
24:13I think this song influenced me the most when I auditioned for AKB48.
24:25It was a big deal for me.
24:30Until then, I had to live a normal life, such as taking the college entrance exam.
24:38That's what I thought when I was a student.
24:42That's why I was encouraged by this song.
24:46So if you're in a daze right now,
24:50you might think,
24:52Is this really okay?
24:54I hope you'll listen to this song when you're in a daze.
24:59What?
25:02That's amazing.
25:05When I listened to this song when I was a student,
25:08I felt like I was going to cry.
25:10It was a speech that shook my heart.
25:14Thank you so much.
25:15But the last three seconds were amazing.
25:21It was amazing.
25:24I thought I was going to do it.
25:29I'm glad it was three minutes. I can't go any further.
25:33Five minutes is a long time.
25:36Can I say one thing?
25:38What is it?
25:39I was looking at the lyrics.
25:44I saw it.
25:46I saw it.
25:48I saw it.
25:50I wrote it down here, but I didn't talk about it at all.
25:54I wrote it down, too.
25:57I can't see it when I stand up.
26:01I know.
26:02If you don't talk about it, you won't be able to see it.
26:05I know.
26:06But it's still amazing.
26:08I chose a song from the god songs.
26:14I bought the same album at the same time.
26:19I thought I was listening to it.
26:22It's like we're close.
26:24That's amazing.
26:26By the way, how old were you?
26:28I was five or six years old.
26:32That's right.
26:33I was 10 years old.
26:35I was in middle school and high school.
26:37I was 15 years old.
26:38Looking at it like that, I feel like we're pretty far apart.
26:41I don't think we're at the same age.
26:46It's amazing that we know each other.
26:49It's amazing that we know each other and we're working together.
26:56The 10th anniversary is amazing.
26:58It's amazing again.
27:00It's amazing again.
27:02I want to support AKB for a long time.
27:08Did you make a declaration?
27:10Suddenly?
27:11I just released a song that I was influenced by.
27:15There are a lot of god songs.
27:18I think there are songs that everyone was influenced by.
27:22Some of you may think that the situation is similar.
27:27Please listen to it.
27:30It was an introduction.
27:33How was it?
27:35I don't usually give presents.
