When the new center was announced, the original center fainted from excitement. This dramatic scene was enough to make conspiracy theorists imagine a palace fight.
This is not the first time Ikoma has done something drastic in public. She also ran away during a press conference for a musical performance last summer, which aroused confusion from fans. The operation did not give any explanation at the time and allowed public opinion that was unfavorable to Ikoma to ferment.
Similarly, after the fainting incident, the operation still did not provide any explanation. The announcement on the official website only introduced the content of the mini live that day, the participants, and the selection list. It seemed that the center was handed over smoothly without any disturbance.
But the thousands of fans present at the time were not blind. As soon as the handshake session ended, there was an uproar online. Rina Ikoma's public opinion environment has worsened again.
It can only be said that the temperamental person was too excited and made some misunderstood actions.
Speaking of musicals, as we enter May, the musical "16 Leading Characters" with the participation of all members returns, and it seems that it will be held every year in the future.
This time the musical was renamed "16 Protagonists deux" and is still divided into two acts. In the above scene, several alternate members compete for each role, and members are required to perform a short performance based on the character's characteristics on the spot, similar to an audition. The audience voted for each role, and the person with the most votes won and participated in the official performance of the second act.
Compared with last year's ultimate abbreviated version of "Alice in Wonderland," this year we finally have a complete script, which tells the story of wealthy families competing for property.
Everyone's acting skills are quite exaggerated, sometimes they are screaming, sometimes they are crazy, and the weird plot is interspersed with Nogizaka's songs. I can't say it is wonderful, I can only say that everyone is very happy in the performance.
During the performance break, the members also briefly met the second-generation students. The 14 second-term students briefly introduced themselves. The oldest was 21 years old and the youngest was 14. Generally speaking, they were about the same age as the first-term students. Although he is a junior, he also has many peers, including several of Akimoto Manatsu's high school classmates, which makes people lament how small Tokyo is.
The second-generation students adopt a postgraduate mechanism similar to AKB. They are not official members yet and will only be considered after they are officially "promoted". In other words, in addition to selection and under, Nogizaka members now have a group of "graduate students". Graduate students at AKB undergo regular assessments. If they fail, they will be dismissed. I am not sure if graduate students at Nogizaka will also have this requirement.
With a new center and new members, Nogizaka has ushered in a new atmosphere.
The title song of the six single list is called "Girl's Rule". The music is lively and lively, which is a typical summer single. The shooting location was an abandoned middle school in Ibaraki Prefecture. This is a middle school in the mountains. The mountain is not high, it is hilly at most. Next to the school is a paddy field with lush vegetation and a quiet environment. Abandoned rural schools like this are becoming more common as birth rates drop and big cities attract young people.
Before the members arrived, staff had already cleaned the school building and outdoor swimming pool.
When he first saw the swimming pool, Amamiya Shiori was shocked. Could it be that this time he was going to dance in the swimming pool while wearing water? No one informed him beforehand? He curiously asked the choreographer, and then he found out that the so-called The "water suit" is just a knee-length aqua dress, far from the level of a "swimsuit", I couldn't help but sigh.
PV tells the story of "rebellion against adults". The new mayor, who is known for his approachability, plans to demolish the Nogizaka High School swimming pool in order to build city hall dormitories. Students objected. Ikoma submitted a signature opposing the demolition to the mayor who was inspecting, but the signature was ruthlessly thrown into the swimming pool by the mayor, and was photographed by Shiraishi and Matsumura who were hiding aside. The mayor immediately asked his men to snatch the video. At this time, the girls who had been ambush for a long time rushed up and started a brawl with the mayor and his group in the swimming pool. In the end, the video was broadcast by the media and used as evidence to expose the mayor's seemingly amiable but actually utilitarian nature as a politician, which prevented the swimming pool demolition plan.
In addition to the main plot, there are also auxiliary plots such as the competition for places in archery club competitions, as well as the beginning of a girl's love affair and a tryst with a boy. There is friendship, love, and rebellion against adults, which is basically the same theme as the second single PV wants to express.
"Huh?" Thinking of this, Amamiya Suga couldn't help but ponder. The theme of the PV of the last single's cw song "Be Simple" is also about love and resistance to adults, and the title song of the fourth single "Uniform Doll" is also about love and rebellion against adults. In comparison, love is okay, it is a very common theme in idol songs, while resisting adults is more like Akimoto Yasushi's interest.
On the one hand, in reality, idols have requirements that prohibit love; on the other hand, in songs and PVs, Qiu Motoyasu calls on everyone to bravely resist adults and pursue free love, which is somewhat contradictory.
Idol chefs still have a relatively low tolerance for idols to fall in love, especially idols whose selling point is to be girlfriends. If they are really in love and are exposed, the impact on their popularity will be serious. Yasushi Akimoto seems not to be afraid at all that some members will really believe in his philosophy.
But then he thought about it, if one or two members were really in love, and if it was exposed, he wouldn't suffer much loss. He could just change the members, recruit a group of new members, or at the worst, form a new group.
Idols are consumer goods, and idols with no commercial value can be discarded at any time. On the contrary, even if an idol with commercial value makes a mistake, the management will probably be reluctant to let her go.
Amamiya Shiori leaned against the fence of the corridor and looked at the two figures walking on the field ridge in the distance carrying bows on their backs. They were Mai Shiraishi and Erika Ikuta. They play the roles of members of the Kyudo Club, friends and competitors.
Needless to say, Mai Shiraishi's commercial value as an idol. If a normal relationship is exposed, the management will definitely try to protect her. But unfortunately, her relationship is not ordinary. Once it is exposed, she will bear not only the pressure from fans and management, but also the pressure from public opinion. Therefore, you must be careful in everything you do and keep secrets well.
