(Shiichan) Yuuka, give that hood back to me.
I can’t survive without it.
(TL NOTE: Shiinan later caught a terrible cold after walking in a miniskirt with bare legs. But she wanted to show her ‘zettai ryouiki’ no matter what. I know she’s sexy why what a risk to take!)

It’s terribly cold here.
Please give it back to me. I went to buy it today specially for this.
(Mayuchi) Let's get going!

(Shiichan) Well, today it’s the first time AKB48 visits Russia.
But before the concert our group visited a tourist spot, it's a place on a bridge where couples, brides and brooms attach their padlocks to a pole. There were lots of people in great wedding dresses. They looked very happy. They shared their emotions with us and here we are, sharing our happy emotions with you. I hope you’ll enjoy the concert. (=it’ll be exciting).
(Shiichan) Yesterday I ate a lot of things.
(Mayuchi) It was all yummy!
(Ume-chan) We ate borsch.

(Mocchi) Now please, the next song for you.

(Reinyan) Please call me Leinyan (TL NOTE it's like she wants to look like a Chinese here)
(Yuuka) I learned everything.

When it's cold it's even tastier.
1.05.53
Reinyan's freezing.
(Myao) Look, it's tasty!
(Rie) I told you.
1.06.13
(Rie) Look at that. It started snowing!
(Myao) I’m freezing for real. It’s because these are summer clothes.
(Chisato) I want to be Cheburashka.
-
1.7.33
Sumire and Co are still performing at the theater.

Mayuyu and Yuuko have having fun.
Supokon! (TL NOTE - implying they were making a movie involving a sporting event)
-
1.09.38
(Rie) How are things?
-
1.13.14.
Nov, 20, 4 PM.
AKB arrive at the theater in Moscow. They enter through the backdoor.
1.13.31
1.14.11
Buono – is DA BEST!
1.14.19
This is our gang.
TL NOTE. I can be seen at 1.14.22 waving both hands (the guy in the middle of the group, the second row, wearing a sweater with orange stripes)
(Reinyay) CSCA (Moscow football club)'s sportsman is a football player from Japan! (TL NOTE. See Honda Keisuke)
- Moscovites, we're glad to meet you!
(Reinyan) We're confident. I think it should go nicely.
1.15.20
(professor of Japanese) You should pronounce your name a bit slower and more distinctly or else the Russians won't understand you at all.
1.15.39
(professor of Japanese) It's not ‘PE’, its ‘HA’.
“I want to live in Russia”. (hochu pozhit’ v Rossii)
(Chikarina) So actually we have a peformance pretty soon. I’ll do my best.
But they have a press conference.
(stupid russian journalist) What language will we speak? Russian? English?
(the interpreter) I'm an interpreter.
(Rie)(in Japanese) It would be great if we could give a proper performance and show the charm of AKB as we usually do. We give our utmost and show the audience what the idols really are.
16.40
(Nakayan) Anyways, I'm looking forward to the concert. And I’ll be speaking in Russian!
(Rie) I think we should be fine. Last time we went to Makau, we messed up quite a bit. I think we’ll keep messing up but we should be fine. If it’s not fine then it’ll be really bad for us. Thank you.
(Yone-chan) The main thing is to control your emotions and follow the script.
Last time we were in South Korea everything went pretty smoothly. So I’m more or less confident. If I believe in myself I should perform well.
(Mayuchi) I was told the audience is shouting “AKB – Yeeeah!”. Sort of. It should give us a boost.
(Chisato) I'm really nervous. My heart is pounding.
I want the foreiners to learn more about us. It’s our first performance of this kind.
(Myao) Oh, hell. English is more or less OK but Russian. I see Russian for the first time. I’m extremely nervous.
(Mocchi) In Japan I was told there are no AKB fans in Russia and that our performance would be a failure. But it seems the fans are here! I’m so relieved.
This time I have a unit that I normally don’t take part in. You can guess how nervous I am now. But I took a nice sleep. It should help me get through this.
1.23.10
This is the poster specially for Shizuka.
1.23.51
(Ume-chan) I'm very glad we were called for an encore.
(Rie) It was fun. At first I was really worried about the audience and their reaction to us. But it was beyond my imagination. We were greeted so warmly!
Well, of course I had personal problems on the stage but it went pretty smoothly.
(Mocchi) In the end I shook hands with several fans when I was leaving the stage. I feel like a big star.
(Reinyan) When I was introducing myself I was beside myself with fury (because it’s difficult to speak Russian). But the audience shouted “Reinyan!” and it helped me control myself. I was very happy then.
(Shiichan) Thank you very much, it was fun.
1.24.46
(Chikarina) I suddenly felt extremely sleepy.
(Mocchi) Her ear is cold but the other one is hot.
(Ume-chan) I'm tired.
1.25.11
(Mocchi) Food! Food!
(TL NOTE - see Miichan in AKB600 for comparison)
1.25.54
(Yuuka) It's snow!
- the Moscow snow is so fluffy!
1.26.49
(Ume-chan) OMG! In Russia you have carrot and tomatoes in plenty.
1.26.57
(Rie) Shall we start?
Itadakimasu!
1.27.11
(Rie) Look. The red one is Akicha. The white one is Moeno. Those are sets of earrings. But I have a feeling one set would’ve been enough. Ah, forget it.
1.27.44
(Chikarina) I stacked some food from the supermarket. It’s for Natsumi.
Ah, I didn't actually know what to buy!
1.27.59
(Reinyan) I bought lots of things!
(in the airport)
(Yuuka) Russian language?
It was my first time I introduced myself in something other than Japanese. I think it’s difficult but I learn words and I want to make the audience happy.
(Reinyan) I was worried about the concert. Will the audience support us? Will they call for an encore?
But there were lots of people shouting «Reinyan» and they started to shout “encore” just as soon as we left the stage. I was extremely happy.
(Rumi) I'm glad that our message hit the mark. I especially liked it when I was called by name, more than that, the fans addressed me as Yone-chan. It was really nice. I’m glad I came here.
(Mayuchi) We had just 12 people. But we combined our efforts and gave a decent performance.
(Rie) In a cold country there are people with a warm heart. I greatly enjoyed our performance here in Russia. I feel like coming here again. Thank you very much.
-
(in Japan)
(Chikarina) Wow! It's warm! It's like spring here!
(Rie) It's hot!
