00:00AKB48 Researchers, wow!
00:08I'm Kubo Hinano, a 18th grader.
00:11I'm Yui Kawamura, a 19th grader.
00:15I'm Yui Yamaguchi, a 18th grader.
00:18We've started this week.
00:21It's unusual to wear a jersey today.
00:26It's my first time wearing a jersey.
00:32What are we going to do today?
00:34We're going to play Wadaiko.
00:37Wadaiko?
00:39Wadaiko is a type of drum.
00:42It's a type of drum you see at festivals.
00:45Oh, it's like that?
00:47Yeah, it's like that.
00:49Oh, that one.
00:51The one with a lot of black things around it.
00:54It's a big drum.
00:56So we're going to play that today?
00:59Isn't it your first time playing a proper drum?
01:04I'm looking forward to it.
01:06Have you ever played a drum before?
01:08No, I haven't.
01:10I'm looking forward to it.
01:12I'm looking forward to it.
01:14Let's go!
01:20AKB48 Researchers, wow!
01:24This program is brought to you by AKB48 Researchers.
01:30Food reports, experimental filming, town tours, and more!
01:35Challenge yourself to all kinds of variety-themed projects!
01:39It's a program where you learn the skills you need for a documentary.
01:44This time, we're going to learn Wadaiko at this studio where you can practice your Japanese instruments.
01:50Good morning.
01:52Good morning. Nice to meet you.
01:55The teacher is Wadaiko player, Mr. Madabe.
02:00He works for a company that supports the growth of Japanese society.
02:04In addition to Japan, he has performed in more than 50 countries.
02:09He's a member of the Amanojaku, a 40-year-old drum band.
02:16Have you ever played a drum before?
02:17Have you ever played a drum before?
02:20I've played a drum before.
02:22I see.
02:26I've never played a drum before.
02:28Have you seen it before?
02:30I've seen it at a festival.
02:33Today, we're going to learn how to play a drum at a festival.
02:37Yay!
02:41But today, we have two promises.
02:44Please be healthy.
02:45Yes, sir.
02:47And one more thing.
02:49Please hit the drum in the middle.
02:51Oh, in the middle.
02:57The three of them will learn Wadaiko performance in 50 minutes and perform it in the end.
03:06Lesson 1.
03:08Let's learn the basic way to play a drum.
03:10Now, let's get started.
03:13Let's get started.
03:15Let's start with Kamae.
03:17Kamae.
03:19Please stand in front of the drum like this.
03:24Adjust the position of your body.
03:27Make a Hanoji.
03:33Then, put your left foot a little bit forward.
03:37Put your right foot a little bit backward.
03:41If you can, bend your knees a little bit.
03:46Don't move to the middle.
03:49Then, raise your right hand.
03:54Hit the drum from that position.
03:58Let's do it.
04:04The point is to hit the drum in the middle to make the whole drum ring.
04:11One, two, three, four.
04:19It's difficult.
04:21It's difficult.
04:23The right hand and the left hand switch like this.
04:29Are you ready?
04:31Some members are not used to the rhythm, so let's do it again.
04:40Are you ready?
04:43Yes.
04:45There is another point to make a better sound.
04:50The sound is directly related to the emotion.
04:54So, the emotion at that time is reflected in the sound.
04:59Let's do it.
05:01Are you angry?
05:03When do you get angry?
05:05When I was taken the fried chicken I was eating.
05:10It's very real.
05:13It's very real.
05:15I remember it now.
05:17I remember it.
05:19Hit the drum with that feeling.
05:22One, two, three.
05:24I'm scared.
05:29Let's compare it with the version without getting angry.
05:33One, two, three.
05:40I'm scared.
05:43The weight of the sound is different.
05:46By the way, who took the fried chicken?
05:51I bought the fried chicken at a stall at an event before.
05:56I asked a number of people to buy it.
05:59Yui Yamaguchi bought it and ate the second one.
06:03There was an episode that I couldn't eat it.
06:07I still remember it.
06:10I'm angry.
06:12I'm scared.
06:14I'm still angry.
06:16That was the anger.
06:18I was angry and strong.
06:22Next is Ms. Kawamura.
06:24What is the version without getting angry?
06:28Ms. Kawamura, you are not kind.
06:34How does this change?
06:38Ms. Kawamura, how do you feel?
06:40I don't get angry easily.
06:43I get angry when I'm woken up early in the morning.
06:47Can you make that face?
06:49That's good.
06:51Hit the drum with that feeling.
06:54I'll do it.
06:57It's not different at all.
07:00It's a bump.
07:02It's interesting.
07:04This alone changes the sound.
07:07Next is Ms. Yamaguchi.
07:09What is the version without getting angry?
07:14How does this change?
07:18I don't get angry easily.
07:23What is it?
07:25When I was young, I didn't put much salt on French fries.
07:34It's important.
07:35It's burning.
07:42I'm angry.
07:45Put the feeling of anger in the middle.
07:48It was a little in front.
07:51I'll do it again.
07:53I didn't put much salt on French fries.
07:58That's good.
08:00I feel refreshed.
08:03I feel sorry for the drum.
08:06It changes the sound with the feeling.
08:09If you do it with a fun feeling, you can make a fun sound.
08:13It will be useful to the audience.
08:15She learned the basics of Japanese drums.
08:18I feel refreshed.
08:20After this, she will practice her performance.
08:28Next, she will practice the songs she will play.
08:33The long one is 4 times.
08:36The short one is 8 times.
08:44She will learn this rhythm.
08:53This is used in the middle part of the song.
08:58Let's do it once.
09:02One, two, three.
09:15That's great.
09:17How was it?
09:19My arms hurt.
09:22It's fun.
09:24It's hard to put strength.
09:28Lesson 2.
09:29Let's make a shout.
09:32I'm saying this.
09:37This is important.
09:39The voice is important.
09:41There are three types of voices.
09:45This is a voice for yourself.
09:48This is a voice for your friends.
09:51This is a voice for the audience.
09:54This is a voice for the audience.
09:56This is a voice for the audience.
10:00Let's try it.
10:02Get ready.
10:03One, two, three, four.
10:25That's great.
10:27I have taught many people in Japan and abroad.
10:32But no one is as good as you are.
10:34I'm glad.
10:36I'm glad.
10:38I think it's good.
10:40Can you look at the camera?
10:42Look at the camera.
10:44You have a solid foundation.
10:46That's great.
10:48What do you think?
10:50You are good at dancing.
10:53You have a solid foundation.
10:55You have a solid foundation.
10:57That's why you can speed up.
10:59When I make a shout, I feel better.
11:03I feel better than before.
11:05It's hard for me to say.
11:08I said, Oh, really?
11:10But I think I can have more fun when I get used to it.
11:14How about you?
11:16I could only say, Thank you.
11:20I thought I could be more cheerful if I said it.
11:32They are getting used to playing the drum.
11:36Lesson 3.
11:38Let's combine the rhythms that they have learned.
11:41This time, you say, Ji.
11:43Ji.
11:45The base is Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do.
11:47Shishima sensei is doing this.
11:49You say, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do.
11:52You can give a character.
11:54Let's play Do, Do, Do, Do.
11:56Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do.
12:00This is the base sound.
12:05Let's combine the rhythms that they have learned.
12:09Mr. Kubo will play the main melody.
12:11Mr. Yamaguchi and Mr. Kawamura will play the base sound.
12:17Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, Do.
12:28I can't play it.
12:30What?
12:32I can't play it.
12:35It's hard to play without being pulled by others.
12:41Let's practice over and over again.
12:43Lesson 4
12:45Let's decide the leader who will lead the team.
12:49Each of you will be the leader.
12:51When the leader says, let's go, everyone will raise their hands.
13:01When the leader says, let's go, everyone will raise their hands.
13:03The leader will be in charge of the beginning of the performance.
13:07The leader will be in charge of the beginning of the performance.
13:10The other role is to play a different rhythm from the other two.
13:19The rhythm of the song changes like this, but you have to play it without being pulled.
13:27Each of you will be the leader.
13:31First, Mr. Kubo's challenge.
13:35Let's go!
13:37Let's go!
13:52Let's go!
14:03Let's go!
14:05I don't know.
14:07I don't know.
14:09I don't know.
14:11Let's go!
14:13Where am I?
14:16Where am I?
14:18Wait.
14:20Wait.
14:22Where am I?
14:24Wait.
14:26You made a mistake.
14:28I made a mistake.
14:30It's okay.
14:32Mr. Kawamura is the only one who made a mistake.
14:38What?
14:40What?
14:42Everything was wrong.
14:44What?
14:46He was pulled by the performance of other people.
14:53The next challenger is Mr. Yamaguchi.
14:56Let's go!
14:58Let's go!
15:08Let's go!
15:10Let's go!
15:13Let's go!
15:17Let's go!
15:21Let's go!
15:28Pay attention to Mr. Yamaguchi.
15:30It's so fast.
15:41Great!
15:43I see.
15:45That was a very fast exercise.
15:47And you must be very tired.
15:49I am.
15:51Standing in the middle of the stage
15:53makes me more motivated
15:55to pull more.
15:57I'm getting more and more motivated.
15:59I was able to do it, but next time I want to do it with more energy
16:06It was fun
16:08The last is Kawamura-san's challenge
16:13Let's go
16:15I made a mistake
16:17I made a mistake
16:19You can do both
16:21You can do both
16:23She is kind and cute
16:26What is the teacher's order?
16:30Can you say, I'll do it somehow?
16:33I'll do it somehow
16:34You can do the original
16:36Eh?
16:38Eh?
16:39Do your best
16:41Eh?
16:43The senior is helping Kawamura-san who is confused
16:47It's like a girl manga
16:50It seems to be decided
16:52Kawamura-san's challenge
16:57Let's go
17:22Kawamura-san's challenge
17:43Well done
17:46How was it?
17:49Did I say it well?
17:51Eh? You said it, right?
17:53You said it
17:55I'm glad
17:57It's wonderful
17:59It was easy to do
18:01It's amazing
18:03Thank you
18:05Kawamura-san's challenge
18:07Let's go
18:08Each has their own personality, but who will be chosen as the leader?
18:14Well, you're the only one
18:16Eh?
18:18You're cute
18:20I'll do it
18:22I'm counting on you
18:24Let's do it together
18:27I'll do my best
18:29Yamaguchi-san is the leader
18:34After that, the three learned how to play the last block
18:40Yamaguchi-san's challenge
18:45Eh? What's wrong?
18:47I'm sorry
18:49My right hand went somewhere
18:52Yamaguchi-san's challenge
18:54After this, it's the real thing
18:56What kind of performance will it be?
18:59Yamaguchi-san's challenge
19:02Yamaguchi-san's challenge
19:06How was it?
19:09I've been working hard for this day
19:13I want to do my best so that I can leave the best result I've ever had in practice
19:23The three of us worked hard together
19:27I want to do my best to convey my feelings to everyone in front of the screen
19:35I'll do my best to be united
19:41Let's do our best
19:43I'll do my best
19:55I'll do my best
20:00Kawamura-san's stable performance
20:06Don't skip the punishment
20:08Kubo-san
20:12Yamaguchi-san is full of energy
20:17A one-shot battle
20:19AKB48's performance by the three students
20:23Let's start
20:28Be careful, Ray
20:30Please
20:36Ready

21:23AKB48, let's go
21:35AKB48, let's go
21:49Be careful, Ray
21:51AKB48, let's go
21:59In the previous practice, I heard a lot of sounds
22:04I felt like everyone's voices were in tune
22:07I was very nervous, but it was more fun than anything
22:10I think we were able to unite
22:14How was it?
22:17Not only the leader, but everyone decided to say yes
22:24I felt like we were all heading for one thing
22:29I was very motivated
22:31How was it?
22:33I wore this and everyone said it
22:37I think I was able to make the strongest sound so far
22:43It was really fun
22:46I think the performance was the best
22:48Thank you
22:50We were divided into roles
22:52There was a leader, there was a support, and there was a support
22:56We did it naturally, but I want you to take care of this
22:59We only did a little today, but we were all in a team
23:03I felt like we were sharing the bond with everyone
23:10I think that's why we got the final result
23:13Thank you
23:16Thank you
23:18It's over
23:24It was only a little today, but the drums were great
23:30We were able to unite
23:35It was the first time to play a real drum
23:44I realized how fun it is to play the drums
23:53If I have a chance, I would like to play the drums in private
23:59Thank you
24:01How was it?
24:03I don't think the three of us have much to do
24:08I'm glad that we were able to unite in just a few minutes
24:15Unite, unite
24:18We got to know each other better and had a great performance
24:23See you next week
24:29Here are the best scenes chosen by this week's directors
24:34AKB48, let's go!
24:43The three of them succeeded in the drum performance in a short time
24:48I was impressed by their powerful performance
