On May 2, the second single was finally released, with sales of 115,000 copies on the first day, ranking first on the Oricon Daily Chart. This means that the sales volume of Rino Hara's "I Just Like You" was more than twice that of the previous single. Sales increased by 30,000 on the first day.
Although the results of the first week have not yet been fully released, it is already "the advantage is mine". Even if Shihara has strong stamina in the next few days, it will be difficult to make a comeback.
In the new episode of Nogizaka, the host Shitara congratulated the members present.
""Come on Shampoo" performed well~" Shitara said to the girls in a rather appreciative tone after greeting them at the beginning.
In the past, his partner Himura would definitely agree, but not this time because Shitara was the only MC at the studio.
As for Himura, his absence was not due to illness, family matters, or being arrested at the police station because he committed something.
Now, he is in the lounge, bored and waiting.
"Ah, thank you!" Despite some doubts, the girls clapped and expressed their gratitude.
"Is there any problem?" Shile asked knowingly.
"Um, why did the person next to you... disappear today?" Rina Ikoma, as a representative, expressed everyone's inner doubts.
"Did you find it?" Shitara looked at the empty seat on his right.
"Hi..." It's impossible not to notice that such a big living person is missing.
"Actually, Himura-san is here today, but he doesn't really want to include it." Shitara finally explained the reason.
"Eh--"
"Haven't you tried to trick someone before? That time, Himura-san was a little hurt. Although I tried to coax him, he was still very awkward and refused to show up. He also said that he was disliked by Nogizaka." Shitara said. In this story, Hicun is like a poor little daughter-in-law who has been wronged by her parents-in-law.
"No, no, no, no -" the members waved their hands to express that they didn't mean that.
"He said, 'I was disliked because I was disgusting.' So he refused to come over today and seemed to be angry."
"Eh-" The girls' voices became much softer because of their guilty conscience.
"Then, let's take a look at his current situation." Shitara asked the field attendant to turn on the monitor. The picture shows Yuki Himura lying on the table in the lounge with a look of despair.
"Hahaha~" The girls put their shame behind and laughed out loud when they saw Himura's state like a dead fish.
Some applauded, and some "praised" Himura for being cute.
"No, it's so cute. How could you still scream so cute in the first place?" Shitara couldn't stop laughing, "Look at those eyes, look at those dead fish eyes."
After damaging Himura for a while, Shitara turned to the topic.
"Hey, those who hurt Himura's heart last time, prisoners, come out quickly." Shitara waved to the members.
Sayuri Matsumura, Mai Shiraishi and Kazumi Takayama in the front row stared at each other with big eyes, and Soi Amamiya also had no choice but to step out.
"That's too much, you guys." Shitara didn't look angry at all.
"I'm sorry." The four of them apologized timidly.
"Now, I'll give you a task. Go to the lounge, apologize to Himura, and then bring him back to the studio." Shitara ordered, "Do you understand?"
"I understand!" The four of them nodded.
"Then let's go."
"Come on!" The members who stayed in the studio waved goodbye.
In the corridor heading to the Himura lounge, the four of them had a small discussion.
"Is Himura-san really angry?" Although she knew this was a script, there was no specific description of how to persuade Himura to return to work. Mai Shiraishi couldn't help but worry about whether Himura would really get angry over this matter.
"Probably not, probably, probably." Takayama Kazumi comforted.
"We will just follow him and say something nice in a while." Amamiya Shiori was not worried at all. Even if Himura deliberately made things difficult, it was only for the effect of the show, and he would still let them go in the end.
"Yeah, I understand!" Sayuri Matsumura nodded and blinked her big eyes.
"Hang--" Standing in front of the door of the Japanese village lounge, the four of them looked at each other.
"You first?" Amamiya Shiori looked at Matsumura who was smiling along the way.
"No, no, no." Sayuri Matsumura hid behind.
"It's up to you, Xiaozhi." Shiraishi Mai also stepped back.
"Xiao Zhi, if you are afraid..." Takayama Kazumi said in a rough voice, revealing his true voice.
"What are you afraid of~" Amamiya Shiori looked disdainful and knocked on the door of the lounge.
"Um, excuse me, is Himura-san here?" She asked politely first.
After waiting for a while, there was no response.
"What should I do?" Shiraishi Mai asked timidly, her voice low as if she was a thief.
Amamiya Shiori glanced at the attendant who was following him, and pointed at the door.
The field manager said, just go in, it'll be fine.
So under the leadership of Amamiya Shiori, the four of them opened the unlocked door and entered the lounge one by one.
"Excuse me." The four of them stood in a row against the wall behind Himura with straight faces and lowered heads, as if they had done something wrong and went to see the dean.
Himura sat on the armchair, glanced back, and turned his head back, looking very angry.
"Well, Himura-san, the show has started. If it's convenient, can you come over to host it?" Sayuri Matsumura took the lead in asking for instructions.
"Has the show started yet?" Himura crossed his chest and never looked at the four of them.
"Yes." The four responded quietly.
"Ah, that's it." Himura said in a tone he had never used in front of the members, "I'm quitting anyway."
"Well, I won't do all the work related to Nogizaka." Himura's words sounded like that.
"Actually, the four of us all like Himura-san very much..." Amamiya Shiori was interrupted by Himura just as he was halfway through his words.
"Lie, keep lying." Himura looked unbelieving.
"I really like her!" "Really!" The girls all tried to save her.
"You don't like me at all."
The girls desperately denied it.
"I noticed that your hairstyle has changed." Takayama Kazumi said suddenly.
Has it really changed? Amamiya Suga glanced at Himura's Jarhead, but she couldn't see any change at all.
"Eh?"
"I just noticed that your hair style has changed. I've been paying close attention to you." Takayama Yishi clasped his hands on his chest with a sincere expression.
"Well..." Himura's tone softened slightly, "I'm interested, thank you."
Seeing that Himura's attitude changed slightly, the four people who had made a good start breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you like me?" Himura asked, still a little unsure.
"like very much."
"Sincerely?"
"it is true."
"Then prove it and see how much you like me." Himura moved his chair and sat down facing the four of them. "Let's use my highlights to play the Yamanote Line game."
The Yamanote Line is the most famous and central above-ground loop line in Tokyo. In the traditional Yamanote Line game, players will take turns naming the stations on the Yamanote Line (Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Shibuya, Ueno, etc.) very quickly and can’t think of them. If you say something wrong or say something wrong, you will be fined. In the extended Yamanote Line game, you can choose other themes, such as the name of the shogun, the seat of the prefecture, celebrities in the entertainment industry, etc.
At the beginning of the game, everyone claps their hands twice, the first person says something, then everyone claps twice again, the second person continues, and so on, in order.
Hearing this, except for Matsumura Sayuri who couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, everyone else was very serious.
Although Himura may not have many bright spots, it is still very easy to make nonsense.
"Then let's take the fifth round." Himura crossed his arms and said, "Whatever highlights come to mind."
"Understood." Amamiya Shiori responded. She stood at the front and the game started with her.
"Wait." Himura's expression suddenly changed, and his tone that had just softened suddenly became stiff.
"What's so funny? Matsumura." Himura's words made the other three people look at him.
Sayuri Matsumura was laughing so hard that he couldn't help himself. He lowered his head and covered his mouth, standing uneasily.
"When I saw your face just now, I immediately felt it was very cute." Although he was praising Himura, Matsumura's attitude of not taking Himura's serious expression seriously was quite ironic.
"Eh? Is my face so funny?"
"No, it's cute!" Matsumura couldn't help laughing.
"No, you're just mocking my face!" Himura pointed at Matsumura with a look of evil on his face.
"I'm not laughing, I'm not laughing{*≧∀≦}~" Sayuri Matsumura couldn't stop laughing.
Although it felt like something was wrong, thinking about how Himura was usually verbally bullied by Shitara, the other three people also stood by and laughed, but they were not as indulgent as Matsumura.
"Just looking at my face, I started laughing!" Himura accused Matsumura Sayuri to the camera. "You're obviously here to apologize. But you actually want to ridicule him in front of the person you're apologizing for?"
"No, listen to me." Sayuri Matsumura explained weakly.
Shiraishi Mai was a little anxious, something was wrong with this situation.
Amamiya Shiori was overjoyed, she wanted to see what other tricks Matsumura could do.
"Impossible!" Himura stopped looking at them seriously.
"No, please disappear from my presence immediately." He stood up and opened the door to the lounge.
"Himura..." Amamiya Shiori was about to say something.
"That's enough, get out of here quickly." Himura Hikaru looked angry.
The girls remained silent.
Since they had been ordered to be evicted, it was not easy for them to stay here when the door was opened.
As they walked out one by one, they were even pushed twice by Himura - Himura had never been so cruel to them.
"Bump--" The door was slammed shut, and the four of them were kicked out of the lounge, like poor people who had been kicked out of the house.
