In the last show, at the end of the second single selection announcement, Ikoma Rina lost control of her emotions on the spot because she was elected center again. Shitara, who was originally going to announce a major news, had to postpone it to this recording.
The specific content is very simple. The second single is released on May 2nd. This day is also the release date of AKB48 member Rino Sashihara’s solo single. Nogizaka will compete with Sashihara Rino to see who can get the first place on the O list that week.
It's a competition in name, but in fact it's another collaborative promotion between the two groups. The chosen day is even the birthday of the two groups' common producer, which can't help but remind people of Yasushi Akimoto and the role of power he has in the two groups.
"Well, remember to win~" Shitara encouraged the girls who looked guilty after hearing the news, "I believe it can be done."
The girls nodded reluctantly. Tomomi Itano, one of AKB's Seven Divine Seven, sold 163,000 copies of her first solo single in the first week. Although Rino Shihara is still just a weak "little finger" in variety shows, she was still ranked in the last overall selection. Under Itano Tomomi, no one will underestimate the popularity of AKB TOP members.
In other words, Rino Sashihara's solo single should have sold at least hundreds of thousands. In comparison, Nogizaka's debut single sold only 142,000 in its first week, so their advantage is very small. In addition, there are many unclear influencing factors, so it will not be easy for them to win.
In this filming, the second selection members were replaced. The first phase of the planning was dedicated to introducing the newly selected members Miyazawa Narira, Hatanaka Kiyora and Iwase Yumiko.
Miyazawa's father is a player in the Japanese J-League. As a mixed-race child, she is tall, has a good figure, and has a gentle personality.
Hatanaka Seira, like member Mica Eto, was born in Oita Prefecture on the island of Kyushu. Before entering Nogizaka, the two were members of the same local idol group. Hatanaka Kiyoshira has a relatively long reflex arc and is often out of line. Her thoughts jump very quickly when speaking, and her words do not match her words. However, she has a kind nature, and everyone has taken it for granted.
Yumiko Iwase is the oldest member of the group. She was born in 1990 and will be 22 years old in three months. Because she is the eldest, she often excuses herself from things she doesn't want to do in front of other members by saying "because I'm the aunt". People also often use the title "aunt" to tease her.
In this episode, we first showed a segment of a separate gathering of these three people, and then let other members expose their shortcomings to help them enrich their image.
Among them, there are frequent laughs, and the best performer is Hatanaka Kiyora. What about "Oita is more prosperous than Tokyo, but not as prosperous as Shibuya", "offering to help people answer questions, but casually saying that they don't know how to do it", "promising to wake people up and then forgetting about it". In short, she is in a state of wanting to help others, but always failing to do so because she is confused when dealing with her own affairs.
Hatanaka Kiyoshi's preface and follow-up are inconsistent and contradictory, and she occasionally breaks out sentences like "Objection Ali", which gives everyone a deep understanding of her.
In the second episode of the program, the film crew invited the comedy artist group Drunk Dragon to teach everyone how to perform short plays. This is also part of cultivating the abilities of Nogizaka members.
Short plays are one of the two main performance forms of comedians. Similar to sketches, characters are set during the performance, and corresponding costumes and makeup are worn and props are used according to the characters. Lighting is also used according to the scene conditions. and sound, in addition to language skills, various actions will be added for comic purposes.
Every year TBS holds "King of Short Drama", a famous comedy competition. The winner will become a hot new comedian.
The two members of Banana Man also started their careers by performing short plays in theaters and then participating in TV competitions.
Starting from the entertainment industry in the Showa era, many programs have included idols performing short skits, so this teaching is also used to prepare for emergencies.
First, Drunk Dragon demonstrates a joke, and then the members play one of the characters to challenge.
This is a short play about the announcements at Shinkansen stations. Amamiya Soi couldn't quite get the laugh out of this short drama, and even thought it was far less funny than the interview with Seira Hatanaka just now.
"Well, can you express the feelings of the Shinkansen passengers and the crew on the Shinkansen a little bit?" Shitara, the judge of "King of Short Drama", got up and asked about the two people's performances. suggestion.
"Who are you~" Himura patted his shoulder in unison and gave Shitara a step to follow.
Amamiya Shiori silently wrote down the details of the two MCs.
Afterwards, the members of Lucky God came on stage one after another to perform in place of one of the characters. Amamiya Sōri, who couldn't get the laugh out of the skit at all, was amused by the girls' clumsy and cute performances.
"Thank you for your hard work!" The recording of today's program ended, and the members bowed goodbye to the banana man, the guests, and the staff on site.
As usual, after the program recording, the members still had some other trivial matters to deal with, such as filming student writing and so on.
"Pa!" The sound of spraying flowers sounded, and several colorful ribbons hung on Amamiya Shiori's head.
"Xiao Zhi, happy birthday!"
After buying a can of coffee from the vending machine and slowly returning to the lounge, Amamiya Sugawara was greeted by a few lights in the darkness.
"Happy birthday to you~~" The members could be vaguely seen in the darkness, and everyone sang a happy birthday song, among which Erika Ikuta's bel canto singing was particularly outstanding.
Matsumura Sayuri brought the cake prepared by the staff and came to Amamiya Shiori with two candles on it.
"Eh? Today, oh, by the way, today is my birthday!" Amamiya Soi suddenly realized.
Matsumura nodded vigorously.
Amamiya Shiori was born on March 20, 1994. Japan uses April as a boundary to divide school years, so Amamiya Shiori was divided into the previous school year. The members who are a few months younger than her are still in high school, and she is already going to college.
To be honest, she hasn't had a birthday in a long time. Managers would prepare cakes for members on their birthdays. This started after their debut. After her, there were Kawago Harina and Fukawa Mai who were born in March, so Amamiya Sugawara was the first to be given a cake. Didn't realize it for a moment.
Amamiya Shiori blew out the candles, and the staff turned on the light switch, and the room instantly became brighter.
"Happy birthday!" the members clapped. The staff outside also clapped happily, and some were taking pictures with cameras.
"Thank you everyone!" Amamiya Shiori nodded around and took the cake held by Sayuri Matsumura.
"Want to eat it?" Seeing Matsumura staring at the fruit cake reluctantly, Amamiya Sōri smiled.
"Think!" Sayuri Matsumura nodded and swallowed.
