At the end of March, Nogizaka's main activity was the recording of a new single.
The second single contains a total of six songs, and Amamiya Shiori participated in three of them.
The title song is called "Come on Shampoo". The melody is similar to the first single, and it has a light and girlish worldview. The costume is also similar to the first single. I can't say it's good-looking, I can only say it's okay. If the singing costume of "Surrounded by Curtains" is plaid curtain cloth, then the singing costume of "Come on Shampoo" is a mosaic gauze skirt.
In terms of dance, the second song was simpler than the first song. First, everyone takes a freeze-frame pose. Rina Ikoma lifts a lock of Mai Shiraishi's hair from behind. Then everyone is divided into small teams of two or three nearby. From right to left, the people behind hug each other. The people living in the front swayed together to the rhythm of the music. The dance is very simple, suitable for fishing, and the requirements are not high. Even a dancing scumbag like Amamiya Souri can learn it very quickly.
However, there are still some inexplicable skirt-lifting movements that are elusive. Although there are panties and bustles under the skirt, so nothing can be seen, this action is not elegant at all. At the end of the dance, the way members in the front row grabbed their skirts and shook their thighs reminded Amamiya of the American cabaret dancers in the first half of the 20th century. I can only say what the supervisor or choreographer has in mind. Maybe such actions have special symbolic meaning.
The PV was shot at the old Gakushuin Elementary School building in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture, which is a cultural heritage left over from the Meiji Era.
Different from the first single, this time it is a PV with a plot. Amamiya Sōri read the script sent to the members. The background of the PV is in a girls' school where students are prohibited from falling in love. It mainly tells the story of female student A, played by Hana Nakata, who was punished by the school and ordered to drop out of school for having a relationship with the opposite sex. The other students rose up to resist and removed all promotional materials related to the prohibition of falling in love in the school. And the story of throwing all kinds of debris around and finally escaping from the school with student A.
The role played by Amamiya Sugawara is a student who watches, watching Ikoma and others throw down plaster statues, guitars, documents and other things from the second floor and break them, and finally escape from the school with the troublesome students.
Before her part came, Amamiya Soi had time to watch the filming of the Seven Gods of Good Luck scene.
"Have you ever liked anyone, senior?" Lying on the handrail of the stairs on the second floor, Nakata Hana asked Hashimoto Nanami thoughtfully.
"No." Hashimoto chuckled.
At this time, Mai Shiraishi and the female student played by Sayuri Matsumura walked up the stairs and talked while walking.
Matsumura: "I actually had an intimate relationship with someone of the opposite sex. How amazing!"
Shiraishi: "Yes!"
Matsumura: "It's not a good idea to be with a man. You'll definitely be deceived in no time~"
Shiraishi: "This is a common thing!"
The two of them were like housewives, gossiping in exaggerated tones.
After hearing the conversation, Nakata Hana was stimulated and fainted to the ground.
"CUT——" The supervisor signaled to start over. "I was still walking too fast, and I didn't hear anything I said clearly."
"Hi." Matsumura and Shiraishi nodded.
"I hope you can walk a little slower." The supervisor ordered.
"I understand." The two walked down the steps and took the photo again.
Since the shots are relatively simple, you can basically pass them in one or two passes after rehearsal.
Amamiya Shiori gradually lost interest and started wandering around the school building. This is a Western-style building with a wooden structure. Leather shoes make a sound when stepping on the floor.
You can still vaguely tell that there was nothing else in the room that was used as a classroom except a podium and portraits of historical figures hanging on the wall.
Looking out of the window, beyond the brick-paved path is a large lawn. Spring has not yet arrived, the trees have not yet sprouted new buds, and the grass is withered and yellow. This is also the filming location for AKB's 13th single "Maybe Is an Excuse". The most classic AKB plaid skirt and singing outfit came from this single. Amamiya Shiori could vaguely imagine the scene of a group of girls dancing energetically under the scorching sun on a midsummer day with green grass.
The same venue, different seasons, and different tones seem to confirm the different styles of the two groups.
In the distance, there seemed to be a commotion where the film crew's bus was parked, and Amamiya Sori went there curiously.
"Good morning everyone! Ah, hi! Everyone from Nogizaka, this is our first meeting. Rino Sashihara desu~" It turned out that the "rival" came to visit the class in person.
The commotion just now was caused by Rino Sashihara. The management had informed the Nogizaka members beforehand that there would be a guest appearance by Rino Sashihara in the PV, but when they actually saw her in person, the girls were still very excited.
The members resting at the bus greeted her and said hello.
But after saying hello, I didn’t know what to do. The members are always in awe of the seniors they are not familiar with.
Although Amamiya Sōri liked Sashihara Rino very much, she was not an avid fan who wanted to shake hands and get autographs. He just went to the place where Sashihara Rino was resting alone and said hello to her politely.
"Hello, Sashihara-san. I am Amamiya Shiori from Nogizaka46." Amamiya Shiori leaned forward slightly, trying to overlap the Sashihara Rino in her private clothes and the loser in a green sportswear in her personal program. "I like your show "Obviously a Little Finger" very much."
"Really? I'm so happy." Rino Sashihara opened her eyes wide. She actually felt good about this junior who dared to take the initiative to talk to her alone. "Which episode does Amamiya-chan like?"
"In the episode about getting up and pranking, Sashihara-san was so cute when she was bullied by Tsuchida-san." In this episode, comedian Koyuki Tsuchida taught Rino Sashihara step-by-step how to get up and prank her, and she kept scolding her during the process. She bullied Sashihara with a straight face, saying that she didn't do this well, that she didn't do well, and finally punished her with a jumping frog, which fully demonstrated Sashihara's loser personality.
"Eh? Cute? Me?" Rino Sashihara pointed at herself in surprise.
"Yeah~" Amamiya nodded, "Especially when he was scolded by Tsuchida-san, he looked aggrieved." One of the great pleasures of this show is to see how Tsuchida bullies Sashihara.
"Well~ As long as you like it, that's fine." Rino Sashihara responded generously.
With the show as an entry point, Amamiya Soi gradually started chatting with Sashihara Rino. She expressed her love for Sashihara Rino from the perspective of a screen fan. As a variety show veteran, Sashihara Rino is naturally not shy. Although she pretended to be modest when accepting Amamiya Shiori's praise, her proud smile betrayed herself.
"Speaking of which, which member of AKB would Amamiya-chan recommend?" Rino Sashihara was quite curious.
"Of course..." Amamiya Sōri glanced at Rino Sashihara, who had an expectant expression on her face. Her wide eyes shone with a strange light, as if to say, "It's me, it's me."
"Kojima Haruna-san——"
"Eh? Kojima-san, I thought it would be me." Sashihara Rino felt that her expression was a waste, and she had been praising me for so long, but it was not true.
"Wazhihara-san." Amamiya Shiori added. Although he is still a glorious free prostitute, he can say this firmly.
"So I'm incidental~" Rino Sashihara couldn't laugh or cry.
