Comments:
A truly simple story-oriented edit this time, and I even gave it a happy ending in comparison to the anime. :'D
"We meet each other.
We work hard to improve together.
We begin to connect and move closer as a group.
We work hard to be chosen to represent the 'face' of the group and ace position.
We begin to realize hard work is not enough to be chosen.
We realize not everyone can keep up with the group's ambitions and expectations.
We have our first internal conflicts within the group.
We begin to worry for the future of our group.
We try to mend the hearts of our group.
We reaffirm our group's ambitions and goals within our hearts.
We realize that we should do what we can for the group.
We feel the group is finally united to walk forward.
Everyone did their part. Everyone had their own roles only they could do.
Our struggles, our quarrels, our troubled yet happy moments are now nostalgic to us.
Thank you everyone, for we did the best performance we've ever done."
Ever since I've watched the AKB48 documentaries a few years ago, I've become a big fan ever since and been following them for a while. Since this song felt precious, I wanted to edit it to something. After finishing Hibike Euphonium, I somehow connected the member's balance of hardships, friendship and rivalry. It was really beautiful. With a special meaning of working together, but also competing with each other, please enjoy this edit I finally finished!
