According to the habit of the show "Where's Nogizaka", there will be a "birthday festival" plan every month.
The program team will visit the families of Nogizaka members born in that month, obtain their past growth experiences from their parents, use the video data provided by the parents to make a VTR, and broadcast it at the "Birth Festival" to satisfy fans about the members. Past curiosity.
The project started in May 2012 and ended in January 2013, with a total of 6 episodes broadcast (not every month). The latest member’s birthday celebration in February has been recorded. Amamiya Shiori, who was born in March, is also about to have an issue featuring her as the protagonist.
For ordinary members, a birthday festival means that some of the shameful childhood experiences will be made public, and it means that parents may ruthlessly reveal their "old background". The members will sometimes praise "cute", sometimes they can't help but laugh, Banana Man There will be good-natured complaints and ridicule, which will be an experience mixed with shame and happiness.
However, for Amamiya Sōri, her past and experience are not as sunny as other members, and her background does not match the glamorous idol status on the surface.
She didn't want to reveal too much information during the birthday party, and she didn't want to suddenly find out that this person was not found when the program team wanted to contact her parents.
If possible, she even wanted the program crew to skip her and immediately switch to other sessions after celebrating the birthdays of other members, forgetting that there was such a member born in March. But obviously, this is impossible, and if it were done, her fans would not pretend that nothing happened.
"Alas..." Amamiya Sugaru sighed in embarrassment and knocked on the office door, "Excuse me, is Konno-san here?"
"Who? What's the matter?" Yoshio Konno's voice came from the room.
"It's me, Amamiya. I have something I want to ask you."
"Oh, Amamiya, come in."
"Excuse me~" Amamiya Shiori opened the door and closed the door after entering the office.
Yoshio Konno, who had brown hair and parted his hair, raised his head from the laptop screen, glanced at Amamiya Shiori, then lowered his head and continued to organize his files.
"Sit down." He said casually.
"Thank you." Amamiya Suga pulled up a swivel chair and sat opposite Yoshio Konno, separated from him by a white desk.
"What's wrong? Are you having any troubles recently?" Yoshio Konno asked. As a manager who was watching the handshake meeting, his relationship with the members was not as distant as other senior leaders, so his tone of voice Relatively easy-going.
"Yes." Amamiya Shiori nodded, "There is a plan somewhere in Nogizaka called a birthday festival. You should know about it, right?"
"Know."
"It will be my turn in one month." Amamiya Soi thought about his words, thinking about how to explain his dilemma next.
"I see." Yoshio Konno raised his head, "I understand."
Well, you'll understand before I even say it. Amamiya Sōri fell into silence. She realized that Yoshio Konno was not ignorant of her origins, and knew that the operation had probably mastered her background, but had never publicized it.
But this is normal. When the contract was signed, it was not her parents who came, but her guardian Mr. Takeda. The two different surnames of Amemiya and Takeda imply a lot of information. It may be that their parents divorced and their mother changed their surname, or it may be that their parents died and they were adopted by others.
As long as the operator is willing to collect her background information and ask Mr. Takeda, he will know more.
Yoshio Konno sat upright and looked at Amamiya Shiori, who had been silent for a while across from him. He had already expected such a scene.
"What do you understand?"
"Your troubles are the reason why you came to me." Yoshio Konno answered truthfully.
"I would like to ask, how much do you know about my life experience?" Amamiya Suga wanted to confirm the operation's knowledge of her.
"Your origin, your childhood experience of moving around, your mother's job, and, four years ago -" Konno Yoshio paused. Considering Amamiya Shiori's feelings, it was not suitable to continue.
After listening to Konno Yoshio's answer, Amamiya Shiori's face darkened, "When did you know about it?"
"Very early, very early. Your guardian, Takeda-sensei, asked us to take good care of you."
"Oh." Amamiya Sori lowered her head. She knew that some things couldn't be hidden. Even if she didn't work as an idol, she would still be dug out by the media if she opened a company in the future. She could only remain completely ordinary. People don't have such troubles.
"Are many people aware of this?" she asked again.
"As for the operation management, there are only me and Kitagawa, and above that are the producers. Basically everyone in the SME department knows about it. Of course, the chief producer Yasushi Akimoto also knows about it." Yoshio Konno observed Amamiya Shiori Looking at her expression, I found that she did not show any obvious anger or sadness.
"Don't be angry with Takeda-sensei. She is doing it for your own good. You should be thankful that at least it is the operations and not the media who understand the situation first, so that we can be prepared in advance for future media revelations and smears."
"I'm not angry." Amamiya Shiori still lowered her head. In fact, she was already ready for a showdown with the operation today, but the operation already knew enough and she didn't need to explain anymore.
"As long as you understand." Yoshio Konno rubbed his temples, "Let's go back to the topic at the beginning, the birthday festival. Do you have any thoughts?"
"Can you ignore me?" Amamiya asked jokingly, but there was no smile on his face.
"This is completely impossible." Yoshio Konno had no reason to agree. If he really wanted to do this, he would be waiting to be scolded.
"Well, just thinking about it, it doesn't really work." Amamiya Saki pursed her lips, "But I don't have much image data from my childhood. At most, there are a few photos, a few certificates, and childhood experiences. Those like that can only be spoken orally.”
"That's a question," Yoshio Konno thought for a moment, "Can you ask Shiraishi's parents? They may have photos or videos."
"Well, maybe there is." Amamiya Shiori recalled the photo album he saw at Shiraishi's house, and there were some photos in it that included her figure.
"You can get the middle school part from Shiraishi's parents, and you can ask Mr. Takeda for the high school part, plus the childhood part you provided, so it's basically complete. As for the narration of the narration——"
"I will write the narration myself," Amamiya Soi said, "Of course, I will conceal some of the facts."
"Okay." Yoshio Konno nodded, "Just skip some key issues. Fans won't delve into it anyway."
"Thank you for your understanding." Amamiya Sori nodded and thanked.
"You're welcome." Yoshio Konno said, "Operations will try to hide it for you."
Then he added: "But one day, there will be people outside the operation who know about this. They may be "Weekly Bunshun", they may be "Friday", they may be some unknown insider, or they may just be someone." A fan who is inquisitive. Are you ready to deal with it?"
Amamiya Shiori already had the answer in her heart. Openly admitting the true part and denying the fabricated part is the safest way to deal with it, and it was also the first way she thought of. What else can be done? Playing dead?
"I hope this day comes later." She smiled bitterly and did not answer directly.
