On Coming of Age Day, except for Shiraishi and the other four today's protagonists, the other members did not need to participate in the coming of age ceremony. Therefore, although it was a day off, Amamiya Shiori did not want to join in the fun.
However, the Shiraishi couple who were in Gunma urged them to bring Amamiya Shiori with them. They said that their daughter was not celebrating her coming-of-age ceremony in her hometown, and she felt a little lonely without any of her former classmates and friends. Finally, she finally found an old acquaintance in Tokyo. , it would be unreasonable not to take a photo together.
Amamiya Shiori, who wanted to sleep in, really had no reason to refuse, so he went out early in the morning with Shiraishi and others.
In the business car, the four people were looking forward to the upcoming adult ceremony.
As a supporting actor, Amamiya Sōri was sitting near the car door, closing her eyes and concentrating.
The Nogizaka Building has a dedicated lounge for four people to change clothes and put on makeup.
As soon as they entered the lounge, they were led to their respective positions by the staff, who were doing hair and makeup.
Amamiya Sugawara walked around the lounge leisurely, sometimes touching the furisode hanging on the kimono rack, and sometimes standing behind the members, watching the makeup artist make the girls' already beautiful faces even more delicate. .
The hairstyles of the four people are done according to their own wishes. Hashimoto Nana has short hair, so she styled it into a bob; Shiraishi Mai's Eto Mica's hairstyle is not much different from usual, with a few curls on the side of the bangs. There are also braided hair; Sayuri Matsumura is more exaggerated. She has a lot of hair and asked the hairdresser to get a curly double ponytail. There are also many petals and leaf-shaped trinkets hanging on the braid, just like from the comics. Characters who come out.
The problem is that the proportions of comic characters are different from those of real people. In comics, characters with long hair that reaches their hips or even touch the floor don’t look out of place, but in the real world, such long hair is already exaggerated. .
Sayuri Matsumura's twin ponytails made her head look twice as big, giving the impression that she was not attending a coming-of-age ceremony, but attending a comic convention.
While the four of them were dressing up, their parents also arrived one after another. A bored Amamiya Sugawara went to the main entrance of Nogizaka Building to greet them.
The Matsumura couple and Sayuri's sister came from Osaka, bringing large and small bags of specialties. Although Amamiya Souri had never met them, he recognized them as Sayuri's family members at a glance, just because the tone of their speech was so similar to Sayuri Matsumura's, and the whole family had the same accent.
Only Hashimoto Nana's mother came to the Hashimoto family. Her younger brother was actively preparing for the exam, so he did not come.
The Weito family came to Tokyo from Oita last night. In addition to her parents, they also included her grandparents and younger brother.
Mr. and Mrs. Shiraishi need no introduction. They are very familiar with each other.
These big families first exchanged polite greetings, and after getting acquainted with each other, they started chatting in the temporary living room on the first floor of the Nogizaka Building.
The female relatives who couldn't wait were led by Amamiya Sori to the lounge for four people.
Four members are wearing naka furisode with the help of professionals.
The so-called furisode is a type of kimono. According to the length of the sleeves, it is divided into large furisode, medium furisode and small furisode. The large furisode is the most formal dress for unmarried ladies, followed by the medium furisode. It is used in formal occasions such as coming-of-age ceremonies and wedding ceremonies. The small furisode is more casual and is generally used for graduation ceremonies and can also be worn on weekdays. .
The four people's attire today is medium furisode, the sleeve length is close to 1 meter, and when worn, it reaches about the calf position.
Matsumura Sayuri is wearing pink furisode, matched with her brown twin ponytails, and her two-thorned ape is full of concentration. What Hashimoto Nana is not wearing is the yellow furisode, and her cool face looks dignified under the yellow. Shiraishi Mai's furisode is light red, while Eto Mica's furisode is bright red. They are naturally beautiful, and they become even more bright and attractive in the colorful kimono.
You only come of age once in your life, and on this day, girls have to show their most beautiful selves to the world.
"It's so beautiful!" Amamiya Soi couldn't help but admired as she watched Laoshi put on the furisode Shiraishi Mai with the help of professionals.
The four girls who finally completed their preparations hurriedly set foot on the road to the shrine under the urging of the staff before even exchanging a few words with their families.
Because it was relatively close, Amamiya Shiori walked there with Konno, Nango and others. That's right, as the head of the operating committee, Yoshio Konno will do all the big and small things personally if he has time, and today's adult ceremony is no exception.
Wearing furisode and geta, the four people with limited mobility took a special car to go there.
When we arrived at the shrine, there were already many media reporters and onlookers waiting at the scene.
In front of the white torii gate, Amamiya Shiori and Konno Yoshio stood aside. The four of them walked out of the car, each holding a handbag.
They first bowed in front of the torii gate, then walked through the torii gate and along the side of the shrine, smiling and nodding to the people around them.
The priest wearing white hunting clothes has been waiting in front of the torii gate for a long time.
The media's cameras and those of the onlookers' cameras kept flashing.
Amamiya Shiori stood outside the torii and looked in curiously.
The approach to the shrine and a large piece of land in the middle of the shrine have been vacated.
The priest took them to get the white feather arrows, then returned to the shrine and began to answer reporters' questions.
Due to the distance, Amamiya Shiori couldn't hear clearly. It seemed like they were talking about their ambitions as adults and things they wanted to do.
The family members of the four members had already joined the crowd of onlookers and kept taking photos with their cameras.
"Amamiya, are you going to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony next year, right?" Yoshio Konno put his hands in his coat pockets and asked.
"Yes!" Amamiya Shiori nodded. The coming-of-age ceremony, like the school year, is divided on April 1st every year. Although Amamiya Shiori was born in 1994, his birthday is March 20th, so he was included in it. Last year, I will participate in the 2014 Coming of Age Ceremony.
At that time, she will also wear furisode, pay homage at the shrine, and accept interviews from the media. However, no family members would come all the way to attend her coming-of-age ceremony.
Parents looked at their daughters smiling happily in front of the media, their eyes filled with joy and love.
"What a blessing!" Yoshio Konno exclaimed. He is already in his forties and is still busy with his career. He is not married and has no children. He doesn't know when he will be able to attend his child's coming-of-age ceremony.
"Yes, I'm so happy!" Amamiya Shiori couldn't help but sigh. His old-fashioned appearance made Nanxiang Wei want to complain, but he didn't know where to start.
