"So that's it." Saury looked like he suddenly understood, "But I still don't understand why it's not 48 but 46. Will there be 44 in the future?"
"Actually, the meaning of 46 means that our number is smaller than that of our predecessors, but our efforts are no worse than our predecessors." Amamiya Sori explained, "Whether there will be 44 or other numbers depends on what Mr. Yasushi Akimoto thinks. ”
"In other words, 46 refers to the number of people?"
"It should be a false reference. In fact, there are more than thirty members now."
"Oh, it's not 46 people? I thought it was the same as AKB."
"Saury-san, AKB is not 48 people!" Oshima Yuko quickly explained.
"Then what's the significance of these numbers!" Qiu Yuan said with a smile, "Qiu Yuan-san is really confusing."
Without spending too much time on the naming of the team, Saury turned to introduce Amamiya Shiori himself.
"Hey, Amamiya-chan became a first-year student at Nogizaka last August and was admitted to the University of Tokyo this year."
"Eh? That's amazing!" The guests expressed surprise. Artists generally have low academic qualifications. There are many high school graduates who are already among the best if they have attended ordinary private universities, let alone top universities.
Amamiya Suga shook her head modestly.
Saury: "How old are you now?"
"18 years old." Amamiya Shiori replied.
"So young!" Saury sighed, "By the way, Kondo-san, how old are you this year?"
"Eh? Me?" Haruna Kondo looked confused.
"I am 29 this year and will be 30 next year." She answered honestly.
"Ah, he's already older than the average age~" Saury calmly compared Kondo to a pig with an average lifespan of 20 years.
Of course, this is not really harmful, just like Himura is often compared to a pig. In fact, this is the advantage of fat comedians. They are not afraid of body defects, but they are afraid that the defects will not be attacked or used as a punchline.
"I'm not a pig!" Haruna Kondo reacted quickly, and she immediately heard that there was something in saury's words.
"Eh? Pigman?" Saury pretended to be stupid.
"It's human! Human!" Haruna Kondo emphasized again and again.
The cooperation between the two made the guests laugh.
After laughing, he returned to the topic.
Saury: "Isn't it difficult to get into Tokyo University? Especially for Amamiya-chan. On the one hand, she has to work in the group and on the other hand, she is preparing for the university entrance exam."
Amamiya Sugawara: "Actually, it's not particularly difficult. The time you don't have to work and the time you wait in the lounge can be used to review."
Qiu Saury: "Is it enough to study by yourself? No need to attend cram schools? Although I don't have much control over my children's education, students who want to get into prestigious schools usually start attending cram schools very early, right?"
"No need." Amamiya Shiori shook his head, "I have never been to a cram school."
"Do you all review by yourself?"
"Yes." This is not to brag. Amamiya Sori never attended a cram school in his entire life. To be a question writer in our small town, all he needs to do is dive into the sea of questions.
"Eh-" Even the smallest thing can make the guests startled.
"It's amazing!" A guest shared his experience, "I have a nephew who has been attending cram schools since he was a freshman in high school. He went to the cram school every day after school and came back very late at night. He went to the cram school for three consecutive years and almost failed. Get into the university you want."
Saury: "Speaking of which, Amamiya-chan is so good at studying, so she should have been aiming for Tokyo University for a long time. Why do you suddenly want to be an idol?"
Amamiya Souri pondered for a moment, "A friend I knew at the time recommended me to participate after seeing the poster. I didn't expect that I finally passed."
"Eh? Such a simple reason?"
Of course the real reason is not that simple, it's just hard to say. After all, it would be too realistic to say that I entered Nogizaka because I was backed by Sony and that food and accommodation were included. I don’t rule out that some fans will be disillusioned.
"Yes, actually before entering Nogizaka, I didn't know much about idols." Amamiya Sōri added.
"Don't you understand? I wasn't a fan before."
"no."
"Ah, Soga, how long does it take for something like this to happen? You enter an industry that you don't understand at all, and then your career becomes successful."
Amamiya Suga smiled and nodded in agreement.
In the opening introduction part, Amamiya Shiori’s content in the show is basically completed. There were more than a dozen people, and each person was introduced for a few minutes, plus the saury and comedian guests made jokes, and forty or fifty minutes passed like this.
Next comes the main topic of the program. After all, it takes several hours to record, and it can’t all be interviews. This program still has a theme. For example, the first discussion content is "Weird Habits in Life".
First, the program team used live-action VTR scenes to reproduce the contributions of several enthusiastic viewers, and then the topic extended to the guests present.
It was difficult for Amamiya Sori to interrupt in this part. After all, it was the home of comedians. It would be difficult for her to say even a few words if Saury didn't throw a topic at her.
So I spent most of the time laughing and reacting.
The second topic is related to love.
In the entertainment world, everyone likes to hear gossip. Several comedians introduced their love experiences that were either sad or funny. Saury also talked to the female stars present from time to time.
"Hey, Amemiya. Nogizaka members can't fall in love, right?"
"Yes." Amamiya Shiori answered simply, and Oshima Yuko also nodded.
Although there is no explicit rule, "dating is prohibited" has actually become the default industry rule. Some people obey it, and some people don't. In recent years, incidents involving idols who disobey have their personalities shattered and fans complaining that they were deceived have often occurred.
"Sure enough, because he is an idol~"
The guests smiled knowingly because Saury nettaped the famous song "Because I'm an Idol" by Showa era idol Koizumi Kyoko. Incidentally, Yasushi Akimoto also wrote the lyrics for this song.
"If you hadn't become an idol, would you have thought about falling in love with a boy or something?" Saury continued to ask.
"I never thought about it," Amamiya Sori quickly denied, "It's completely impossible for me."
As an idol, this is a normal answer. However, unexpectedly, Saury suddenly laughed, and the clever guests present also laughed maliciously, leaving Amamiya Sori confused.
"Eh? Why are you laughing?" She looked confused. Not to mention whether such an answer is just a formality for other idols, but for her, it is definitely from the heart.
"Last year, haha, last year there was also an idol who told me that it was absolutely impossible to date a boy. She felt that the boy was lying to her when he said he liked her." Saury leaned on the podium and was overjoyed.
