There are less than ten days left before the exam. Amamiya Sugawara was in the corner of the lounge, leaning against the wall, putting on headphones and reviewing silently.
Beside her, there were only Nana Hashimoto who was half lying on a soft cushion reading a book, and Asuka Saito who was lying on the table in a daze.
In the noisy lounge environment, this is one of the few quiet corners.
The girls, who just celebrated the New Year, have been chatting since the morning, and they haven't stopped now.
"Why is Xiaozhi going to college?" Asuka Saito turned his head towards Amamiya Shizaki.
From a desktop-height perspective, you can observe the pen tip moving back and forth on the paper up close.
"Eh? What?" Amamiya Shiori tilted his head and looked at Saito Asuka lying on the table, and took off his headphones.
"I mean, why do you need to go to college?" Asuka Saito asked in confusion, "It seems that working as an idol has nothing to do with going to college."
"Why?" Amamiya Sori thought about how to explain it to the child, "For me, it's for the diploma. In this society that values academic qualifications, having a good diploma is important whether you are looking for a job or in other aspects of society. There are advantages.”
"But isn't being an idol just a job? Haven't we already found a job?" Saito Asuka sat up from lying on the table in confusion.
"You can't work as an idol for a lifetime. What if you don't become famous during your idol career and don't make enough money to support your retirement? What will you do after you graduate?" Amamiya asked.
"Hmm... Graduation? I haven't thought that far yet." Asuka Saito was a little confused. She felt that Amamiya Sōri was thinking about things after graduation before she even debuted, which was a bit different from ordinary people.
"It's okay, take your time, Asuka will consider these things when he grows up."
In Japan, women's academic qualifications are not valued. On the one hand, tuition fees are high, and on the other hand, most women give up their jobs after getting married to support their husbands and raise children. Therefore, it is enough for girls to graduate from high school or attend a short-term college.
With such a large working population unable to engage in social work, it is no wonder why Japanese society is short of labor. Not only is the population aging, but the low status of women is also a very important reason.
Amamiya Shiori doesn't want to live that kind of life. She also wants to take advantage of the development of the Internet to open a company, make a lot of money, and marry Bai Fumei!
With the knowledge and ability inherited from her previous life, coupled with her grasp of future trends, academic qualifications are not so necessary for her. Even so, the resources, connections, and appeal brought by a good university can bring convenience to her future career, which is very important. She alone can't support a company, can she?
"The time in your teens and twenties is very precious. Even if you don't go to college, it's good to find a few hobbies to enrich yourself. In this way, even if you don't become popular, you may still have a way out for yourself." Amamiya Shiori tried his best. Avoid a preachy tone.
"What Xiaozhi said is so difficult to understand." Saito Asuka fell down weakly again.
"It's okay. I don't understand now because I don't have enough experience, that is, I haven't experienced enough things. I will understand in the future." Amamiya Sio felt that it was a bit boring to speak in the tone of an experienced person, so she put on her headphones and ended the topic.
Most of the content of Where is Nogizaka is to cultivate the members' abilities. For example, today's second program is designed to teach everyone what to do when meeting big-moon artists outside the village in the future, and to train everyone's reactions to others and their ability to imitate.
"Today's guests are Tamori-san and Akashi saury-san~" Shitara introduced at the beginning.
Tamori and Akashi Saury are two of the most highly regarded "BIG3" comedians in terms of qualifications and reputation. The remaining one is Takeshi Kitano, who has a higher international reputation as a director. "Music Station" hosted by Tamori is currently the most important music group, and Akashi saury has always been at the top of the "Most Popular Comedian Artist List".
Of course, it is impossible for a small late-night idol variety show to invite these two industry giants. The two guests are fatter and wear sunglasses. Hiroshi Toda is the one who imitates Tamori. He is thinner and wears exaggerated dentures. Akima Haraguchi is the one who imitates the Akashi saury.
At the beginning, the two acted like real Tamori and Saury, giving a particularly vivid imitation.
Whether it’s the voice, the tone, or the jokes between the two celebrities, it’s all easy to use. Their imitation is professional.
The audience applauded.
After introducing the true identity of the guests, Shitara threw out the first part of this program, "In the future, everyone will participate in various programs, that is to say, you will meet various artists. This time We asked two guests to help us learn how to deal with important people."
The specific method is to send members to wait at the elevator entrance, and then two guests imitate various famous artists to walk out of the elevator, and the members come forward to say hello.
The first person to go to shoot was Takayama Kazumi.
She stood nervously at the elevator entrance, and everyone in the studio could clearly see her every move through the screen.
"Ding——" The sound of the elevator arriving came to mind, and Gaoshan Yishi trembled in shock. Then he bent down and stretched out his hands to receive Toda Hiroshi like a waiter in a restaurant receiving guests.
"Hello! I am Kazumi Takayama from Nogizaka46." Takayama's voice was much thicker than usual because of nervousness, but he still introduced himself well.
Koji Toda imitated the Shofukutei crane bottle.
Whatever Toto said, Takayama Yishi said "um" and "hi", following Toto's words.
In short, although he looks nervous, every move he makes always makes people laugh. He completes the response completely and appropriately, and his performance is good.
Gao Shan returned to the studio and received applause from everyone and appreciation from Banana Man.
Taking a deep breath, Amamiya Sori stood up from her seat. She was the next one to be tested.
At the elevator entrance, being filmed by three or four cameras, Amamiya Shiori rubbed his face and hands, waiting for the official start.
"Ding~" The elevator door opened.
Guest Akiko Haraguchi did not wear dentures this time, "Hey hey hey~" and walked out of the elevator as if he had encountered something funny.
"Ah, the door is open." He didn't know what was so funny, so he laughed.
"Hey hehehe~" Amamiya Shiori could only laugh along.
"Hello, hello, I'm sorry, I'm Jang Keun Suk." Haraguchi Jingmao said casually, and laughed "ah ha ha" after saying it.
You say you are Jang Keun Suk, but I also say I am G-Dragon. Amamiya Shiori groaned inwardly.
"Ah, hello Zhang-san, I am Amamiya Shiori from Nogizaka46."
"Ah, hello, hello. I made a mistake, I'm sorry." Haraguchi still looked like he was running around. "Girl, you are so beautiful."
"Ah, wait a minute, let me press all the floors." Haraguchi turned around and pressed all the elevator floor buttons.
Amamiya Sugawara didn't know many comedians, but because he had done a lot of AKB shows, he had a guess about the person Haraguchi was imitating. He should be imitating Junji Takada, who was one of the MCs in the early Akbingo. He appears on the scene as an old man who talks a lot about trains.
Faced with his children's pranks, Amamiya Sugawara could only laugh.
"What you did just now was very cool." Haraguchi was not ashamed, but proud.
Amamiya Shiori still couldn't ignore his conscience and shook his head slightly.
"Ah, you are very cute. How old are you?" Haraguchi rubbed his chin with his hand.
"17 years old." Amamiya Shiori answered truthfully. He would not turn 18 until his birthday was over in more than two months.
"17 years old, so young~" Haraguchi pinched her waist, "She looks like she is 15, 16, or 17 years old."
"Yes, he is 17 years old." Ryou Amamiya ignored this nonsense.
"Has anyone ever said you look like Fukada Kyoko?" Haraguchi continued to run.
"Ah, is it true? No one has ever said that before. Thank you for the compliment." Amamiya Soi had begun to get used to his nonsense.
"By the way, my wife's friend has a niece just like you?"
"Eh? Really? How is it the same?"
"Hey, let me think about it, 95 60 96..." He began to make gestures with his hands.
After understanding, Amamiya Sori helplessly covered her face, showing restraint and shyness. Good guy, it turns out that it’s the same method. Not to mention whether it fits or not, the size is just nonsense and not right at all. Why didn’t I know that my figure is so “protruding and curvy”?
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I scared you."
"It's okay, it's okay." Amamiya Shiori shook his head repeatedly.
"Oh ~ there is one more thing I want to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Let me reintroduce myself. Actually, I am Ken Takakura. Hahahaha!" I have to say that Haraguchi imitated the character very much and used all the jokes from the original character.
"Ah, ah, it turns out it's——Takakura Ken-san~" Amamiya Shiori said emotionlessly, with an expression of "I have recognized your true face."
"I'm sorry, please remember my name. Do you know this name?"
"Hey, I know."
"Sorry, I'm a little sleepy, hahahaha!"
"Ding~" The elevator door finally opened.
"I'm sorry, I want to stay a little longer, hahahaha." Haraguchi didn't forget to imitate after walking into the elevator.
Finally sent away, it should be considered completed. Amamiya Sugaru wiped away his sweat. Haraguchi talked too much nonsense and it was completely his home field.
"Um, Takakura-san, the elevator -" Suddenly remembering something, Amamiya Shiori wanted to remind him, but it was too late. The elevator door had already closed, and Haraguchi's laughter came from it.
"The elevator floor buttons have all been pressed once -" Amamiya Suga glanced at the camera and wondered if it was over.
However, before long, the elevator door opened with a "ding~" sound, "Hello, hello, I'm Tom Cruise, hahahaha!" Haraguchi casually applied the celebrity's name to himself.
After returning to the studio, Amamiya Shiori saw the Banana Man and the members all bent over with laughter.
"Well, Amamiya," Shitara asked after everyone calmed down, "can you guess who he is imitating?"
"It should be Takada Junji-san."
"Yes, it is indeed Takada-san, with a style in which seven out of ten sentences are nonsense and one is a lie." Shitara nodded, "But why didn't you point it out at the beginning? And you followed his words and called him " Jang Keun Suk, Takakura Ken."
"Because this is Takada-san's style. Even if you know who he is, you have to pretend not to know. You can't immediately destroy him."
"Yes, it is true." Shitara said to the girls, "Artists all have their own personalities. They are used to eat. Don't destroy other people's personalities! It will cause riots. Qian Don’t say that!”
Shitele warned again and again.
"Amamiya did a great job, then, the next one, Matsumura Sayuri——"
