Today's studio was extremely lively, with 33 members present.
The altar is divided into two distinct parts: Jingwei and Jingwei. The one closest to the banana man is the 16th selection, and the one far away from the banana man is the 17th under.
The under members, who had not appeared in "Where's Nogizaka" for a long time, were particularly excited. In the opening scene, they made crazy faces at the moving camera.
"Huh? Everyone in Nogizaka is here today."
The Bananas couldn’t help but lament that for them, many members had not seen each other for a long time.
The girls greeted each other warmly. When Himura shouted "yeah", they responded with "yeah", their voices passionate and full of energy.
Today’s plan is to learn from senior idols about how to deal with various situations encountered at work, learn how to survive in a large girl group, and at the same time improve team cohesion.
Guest Noro Kayo came up and performed a joke with Banana Man that was ignored. As a variety show veteran, Noro Kayo's response is very satisfactory.
She is slightly chubby, has curly brown hair, and wears a yellow headband. She speaks with a strong voice.
"The guest arriving today is Teacher Noro Kayo." Shitara introduced.
Noro greeted the members politely.
"Does everyone understand the situation?" Himura asked.
The girls clapped and nodded.
Shitara helped introduce it. Noro Kayo was a second-generation student of AKB. Later, because of his age, he graduated from AKB and became the captain of the sister group SDN48. SDN was disbanded a year ago, and Noro stayed in the entertainment industry because of his outstanding variety show ability.
"I have been in two groups, so I know everyone's feelings very well, and I am already listening and waiting for everyone's complaints." Noro Kayo showed his reliability as a senior when he came up.
The girls applauded one after another. Usually they only greet the seniors politely when they see them. Today, it is a rare opportunity to learn from them.
"Then you have to give everyone more advice today~"
The staff prepared questions for the members beforehand, which came in handy now.
The first problem was "wrong name", raised by Maya Wada.
"Oh~ Maya-chan!"
"Long time no see."
Maya Wada smiled and agreed, "Hi~"
"What's going on, Maya-chan?" Shitara asked.
"Hi," Maya Wada had already prepared her words, but now she poured them out, "Hey, there are often fans shouting Maya Maya during events."
"maya! maya!" Himura imitated the imaginary cry.
Maya Wada smiled shyly, "I was very happy when I heard it, so I waved."
"Oh, isn't it good?"
"Then, but the other person didn't seem to be waving to me, but looked to the side, waving to Mai-like."
"ah--"
"Ala--"
Banana Man thought for a moment, this scene was a bit embarrassing.
Amamiya Suga glanced at Shiraishi Mai with a smile and found that she was also smiling awkwardly but politely.
"So it was a misunderstanding." Although Maya also smiled, she always felt a bit bitter.
"Maya, Maiyi." Himura said it a few more times, and it was true that it was easy to get confused if he said it too fast.
He imitated the fans at the scene and waved "Mai-like, Mai-like", successfully making everyone laugh.
"It's really pitiful. The names are similar." Shitara consoled him, "But hearing the wrong name and waving the wrong hand does happen in a group, right?"
Then he asked Kayo Mukino.
"Of course, this happens all the time," Noro Kayo said. "If you stand in two rows to shake hands, is the other person waving to you or to the person behind you? You will lose confidence and be unsure."
"I see."
"Especially non-selected members will be more sensitive, so it's better to go back and confirm before waving."
The unders felt the same and nodded one after another.
"You often get your last names wrong, right?" Shitara asked additionally.
Himura immediately thought of several members in the group whose last names were pronounced "saito".
"Saito is also a big problem, right?"
"Saito, there seem to be eighteen Saitos?" Shitara teased.
"No, no, no -"
Saito Asuka, Saito Chiharu and Saito Yuri quickly denied it.
Although the pronunciation of the three of their surnames is the same, they are written as "Saito", "Saito" and "Saito" respectively, just like the word "fennel" for fennel beans, which can be written in n ways.
Usually, the name tags given to them by the staff often have typos printed on them. When communicating in the group, they would send out a Saito, and two or three people would often reply together, which made a lot of jokes.
Today at the scene, Chiharu Saito’s name tag was wrong, it was written Chiharu Saito.
"Everyone's Saito is different," Asuka Saito explained, "The scripts and materials that are usually distributed are basically not written correctly."
Mainly because the surnames of Saito Asuka and Saito Chiharu have too many strokes, are too complicated, and are easy to make mistakes.
"I see, but even though I wrote it wrong, it sounds the same when I read it." Shitara comforted him.
"It's not worth saying, but I still care." Saito Yuri, as a member who is easily confused, also expressed his feelings.
Regarding the confusion and misunderstanding of surnames, Noro Kayo also gave an example of the pronunciation of his own surname being often mispronounced.
Noro Kayo explained that Banana Man deliberately confused the pronunciation of her last name with various things, sometimes pronouncing it as Noru, sometimes as Nora, and sometimes as rags. Noro also took the trouble to complain.
This is a classic variety show scene where you pretend to be stupid and complain. Banana Man and Noro answered questions while giving lively variety show lessons to the members.
"Are there any other name questions?" Shitara named Ito Marihua who raised her hand and asked her to speak.
"Hi, my surname is Ito, the same as Ningning." Ito Wanlihua said.
"Ah, that's right. Did you miss it somewhere?"
Ito Wanlihua looked at Ito Ningning and motioned for her to explain herself.
"Well, for example, the work email said that Ito would be invited to come over tomorrow. But at that time, I had already returned to my hometown of Gifu. So I went to Tokyo for work, but when I arrived at the location, the staff said, 'Huh? It should be Banlika.' .”
"Eh--"
As soon as Ning Ning finished explaining, the members started screaming because of this unfortunate encounter.
"This is a bit too much, it's too much!"
"Everyone has made a mistake!"
Marika Ito was very angry when he found out about this incident. The staff also knew they were wrong and apologized to Ningning Ito.
Although the matter has passed, Ito Marihua is still unhappy about it.
"Is this the work of the staff who mistakenly made a mistake about Saito?" Shitara connected Saito in the previous article with one sentence, amusing everyone and lightening the atmosphere a little.
"The work itinerary is all sent by email. I usually write my name, but that was the only time I only wrote my last name." A disgruntled Ito Marika added the details.
"Then what happened next?" Shitara asked curiously.
"Finally, call Wan Lihua over quickly. I'll stay at home in Tokyo." Although Ning Ning smiled when she said it, the speaker had no intention of making the listener feel sad.
"Wow——"
"Eh~"
Members sympathized with her plight.
