AKB48の高橋みなみ、横山由依、柏木由紀、HKT48の指原莉乃、宮脇咲良が2日、東京・千代田区のアーツ千代田3331にて行われた「AKB48 選抜総選挙ミュージアム」オープニングセレモニーに出席した。
AKB48's Takahashi Minami, Yokoyama Yui and Kashiwagi Yuki and HKT48's Sashihara Rino and Miyawaki Sakura attended the opening ceremony of the AKB48 Senbatsu Sousenkyo Museum held at the 3331 Arts Chiyoda in Chiyoda City, Tokyo on the 2nd.
セレモニーで5人は今週末に控える開票イベントに向けて絵馬に意気込みを記入。宮脇咲良がTOP7入りを意味する「神崩し！」と書いた絵馬を披露すると4人から「いや〜！」という悲鳴と「おお〜！」という歓声があがった。
宮脇の堂々とした宣言に指原は「おお〜、すごいのいったね」と感心した様子。宮脇は「神7入りを目指しているので」と笑顔で意気込みを語った。
In preparation for the event this weekend, the four girls enthusiastically wrote down their wishes on wooden plaques. Miyawaki Sakura's revelation of her plaque with the declaration, "I will tear down the gods!," signaling her intention to enter the Top 7, was met with squeals and cheers of "Whoa!" and "Ohh!" from the other four.
Sashihara admired Miyawaki's magnificent declaration saying that it was well said. Miyawaki explained passionately, "It's because I'm aiming to enter Kami 7," smiling.
絵馬に「努力は必ず報われる 言おうかなやむ。」と書いた高橋は、「去年、（宮脇）咲良はうまかった」と昨年11位で選抜入りを果たした際の宮脇のスピー
チを賞賛。スピーチの内容を事前に大体は考えておくという宮脇は、指原から「じゃあ咲良は今年何位用を考えてるの？」と聞かれると、「神7用です」と答
え、4人からは「おお〜」と再び感嘆の声があがった。
Takahashi, who had written "Effort will definitely be rewarded. Should I be saying this?" on her plaque, remarked, "This past year, Sakura did splendidly," and praised her speech from last year when she attained 11th place. Directing a question to Sakura who had spent a long time preparing what to say last year, Sashihara asked, "Well then, what place do you think you'll get this year?" Miyawaki replied, "Kami 7," and was again met with four voices of wonderment.
(TL Note: Takamina's remarks are also a pun, since the Japanese word for "splendidly" here is also the same pronunciation for "horse," which is what the kanji for the wooden plaques are, literally "drawing horse." See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ema_%28Shinto%29)
また、速報で1位につけた指原は「ゆきりんには負けへんで〜」と速報2位の柏木に宣戦布告。開票イベントの壇上で泣いたことがない柏木は「泣きたい。」と書き、「今年はいい結果で嬉し泣きしたい」と語った。
Also, Sashihara, who got 1st place in the preliminary rankings, wrote "I won't lose to Yukirin~" in a declaration of war to Kashiwagi, who was 2nd. Kashiwagi, who hasn't cried on stage before, wrote "I want to cry," clarifying that she wants to be so happy with the result that she cries.
