After Amamiya Shiori's birthday, the proud Shiraishi Mai received an invitation from the fashion magazine "Ray" and signed a contract to become an exclusive model for "Ray".
Becoming an exclusive model for a fashion magazine is the dream career of many beauty-loving girls. On the one hand, it is glamorous. On the other hand, using magazine modeling as a stepping stone, if you are lucky, you can further participate in TV series and become an actor.
This is Nogizaka's first exclusive model. Since her debut as a model at the end of last year, Shiraishi has had more and more opportunities to appear in various magazines. Only a few months later, a publishing house saw her popularity among readers. Decided to start long-term cooperation with it.
With the first exclusive model, the management's eyes became eager to look forward to Nishino Nanase and Amamiya Shiori, who debuted as models together.
But this matter still depends on luck, the subjective opinion of the magazine editor, and Nogizaka's future influence. It's not just about expecting results.
On the one hand, she is emotionally proud, and on the other hand, her career is booming. Mai Shiraishi seems to have reached the peak of her life these days. Whether at work or at home, she feels comfortable and everything goes smoothly.
If it weren't for the sudden announcement of the selection, she would have almost forgotten that such a torturous thing would happen soon after the release of the new single.
The selection announcement of the sixth single returned to the form of roll call by the female anchor. The members sat in the lounge in rows according to the order of the top single, waiting for the female anchor in the studio to announce the selection list one after another.
The first thing to be revealed is the selection members of the third row, starting with Marika Ito, Kazumi Takayama, Sayuri Inoue, Yuri Saito, Mai Fukawa and Yumi Wakazuki. They are all members who have been selected more than once, so there is no surprise. .
Next is Akimoto Manatsu, who fell from the God of Fortune. She has worked hard to integrate into the team and has finished the airborne benefits. Now it is normal for her to be in the third row.
With the last person left, the female anchor said: "The next number 13 is——"
Amamiya Shiori is already ready to stand up from the stool. If nothing else happens, the selection list this time will remain the same.
However, the accident happened.
"Hoshino Minami." The female anchor said to the camera with a smile.
The lounge was quiet.
"Eh?" In the studio, Himura and Shitara looked surprised.
Amamiya Shiori was equally surprised as he watched Hoshino Minami stand up and walk out of the lounge. He didn't have his name in the third row. Was he going to lose the selection?
Most of the members standing in the third row with him had more or less experience of being eliminated in the selection process, so it was normal for him to be his turn this time.
Taking advantage of the opportunity given by the camera to ask questions to the banana people in the studio, Mai Shiraishi turned her head nervously and looked at Amamiya Souri, her eyes full of concern. She was more worried about Amamiya Souri than her own position.
Amamiya Soi smiled and shook her head, telling her not to worry.
The selection position is not actually important to her. Anyway, she has already prepared to run away at the end of the year. If she loses, it is not unacceptable.
After talking about the third row, the female anchor began to reveal the list of lucky gods in the second row.
Coming up is Sakurai Reika. As the captain, although the possibility of being the center is very small, her position as the God of Fortune is still stable.
Then there is Nishino Nanase, who once entered the lucky god in the third position, and then fell out of the lucky god in the fourth position. Unwilling to be reconciled, she returned to the God of Fortune this time and was very happy.
Erika Ikuta has also moved from the first row to the second row, which makes people wonder what kind of changes will happen to the first row.
"The next member to be selected is No. 7 - Amamiya Shiori."
?
Amamiya Sohi, who originally lowered his head to think about what to cook tonight, raised his head in confusion.
"Hi~ Amemiya, congratulations!" Himura's voice came.
Under the urging of the members' applause, Amamiya Suga stood up.
what's the situation? Didn't lose the selection, but got into the God of Fortune? On the way to the studio, Amamiya Shiori quickly thought about the speech he was going to make.
It was actually a bit surprising. She had thought about the words she would write on her blog to her fans when she was eliminated, but she was not prepared at all for entering the Lucky God.
"What do you think? Looking at your expression just now, you looked very surprised." Himura asked.
"Hey, it's really surprising," Amamiya Sori responded, "Although I played in the Fukugami position in my debut single, I didn't understand anything at that time. After playing four consecutive singles in the back row, I became more clear about the goal of my efforts. Yes. I’m really happy to be able to enter the Lucky God this time.”
"Returning to the God of Fortune, I have to work harder next time!" Himura said.
"Hey, I will try my best." Amamiya Nodded.
"Of course, I have to work hard to write the novel well," Shitara said with a smile, "I can't wait to see the next volume."
"Uh... I can only say as soon as possible!" Amamiya Soi said with a smile.
After expressing his feelings, Amamiya Sugawara stood at position number 7 on the stage of the studio, waiting for the list of the last four people.
"The next member to be selected, No. 6 is——"
"Ikoma Rina."
"Eh--"
Now all the silent members in the lounge raised their heads.
Rina Ikoma, who has been a single canter for five times in a row, is finally no longer the center of the team this time.
For the members in the group who want to become the center, this is a major turning point. Nogizaka finally changed their c, and their opportunity finally came.
When Rina Ikoma came to the studio covering her face and holding back her sobs, the more alert members had already realized who the three people in the front row would be.
Shiraishi Mai, Hashimoto Nanami and Matsumura Sayuri, it is impossible for the three of them to lose the selection. The three vacancies in the front row must be them. The question is who among these three will be the center.
In the studio, Bananaman waited patiently for Rina Ikoma to adjust her mood.
In the lounge, Shiraishi Mai, who realized what was going to happen next, held her stomach and felt a stomachache.
The trio, known as the Gosanka by fans, will soon stand in the front row of Nogizaka, and they will become the center, standing in the coveted position, leading Nogizaka to continue its upward path.
However, when she thought of the pressure Ikoma Rina had suffered, including expectations from management, dissatisfaction with herself, and abuse from black fans, Mai Shiraishi felt terrified again.
Maybe it's not me, but Nanamin or Asong?
She began to think wildly. On the one hand, she was afraid, on the other hand, she was eager. Sometimes she felt that others were more suitable, and sometimes she was worried about gains and losses.
"Nogizaka has been the center since its establishment." In the studio, Shitara opened the topic.
Rina Ikoma sobbed a few times,
"Can you still speak?" Shitara asked softly.
Ikoma Rina tried her best to collect her emotions and nodded.
"Tell me what you think."
Ikoma Rina took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Because I thought that I would lose center one day, I have already realized it. I have always only known the world of No. 2. Therefore, those things that deeply hurt me, If so, I would have accepted the order. But now it has really happened, because it is the first time, although it is not very clear..."
she choked.
"It's really surprising."
"It surprised even us just now."
Shitara and Himura said, "As expected, the center of Nogizaka, the first thing that comes to my mind is Ikoma."
As they spoke, Ikoma cried harder.
"However, these are new opportunities, and maybe we can discover a new side." Shitara comforted, "Although it will take some time to accept this."
However, his comfort had no effect at all, and Ikoma Rina burst into tears.
