## realize

realize is a team composed of Kato Kokoro, Sakuraba Haruka, Takabatake Momoka, and Hatta Mena.

Only four spots were open for the song, and each trainee was able to choose which song they wanted to perform, starting with the highest ranked trainee to the lowest ranked trainee. In rank order, Kato Kokoro (2nd), Hatta Mena (16th), Takabatake Momoka (32nd), and Sakuraba Haruka (42nd) picked "Omokage". When choosing positions, Kato Kokoro was chosen as both the leader and center.

During the Produce camp, Hatta Mena felt upset because the she did not realize the song was too low for her, so she could not the center. Sakuraba Haruka also worked on improving her vocals. Takabatake Momoka was initially upset because she wanted to showcase her unique rap style in the concept battle, but all seven rap & vocal spots were filled by the time Takabatake got to choose. She tried to add a rap verse at the end of the song, but the arrangers LAS rejected the idea. Dejected, Takabatake was able to talk with Chanmina during a special practice about her struggles, and Chanmina reassured her to do her best with what she has.

realize was the eighth team and third vocal team to perform in front of the audience that night. Takabatake Momoka received the most votes, so she also received the winning benefit of 10,000 bonus votes.

**Japanese Lyrics**
Feel like leaving it to the flow

Feel like oh oh oh oh

もう

何も見えないふりをしていた

悲しみが見えすぎたから

影も僕を見ていた

「君のことはわかるから」

失くしたことで

流れ着いた

なによりも、ほんとのこと

僕らは

こうして

どこにも

見せない愛で満たしてる　本当

僕らは

いつの日も

見えない愛で満たしてる　本当

Feel like leaving it to the flow

Feel like oh oh oh oh

夜になって思い出した

「呪い背負った僕たちは今」

なんて悲しみが積った時も

朝になって思い返した

希望纏った僕たちは今

唯一無二の弱者

強気でいいじゃん

忘れることで

流れ着いた

なによりもほんとのことに

僕らは

こうして

どこにも

見せない愛で満たしてる　本当

僕らは

いつの日も

見えない愛で満たしてる　本当
