"Even if it's just about entering the selection, we still envy them!" Kawamura Mahiro also expressed the heartfelt voice of the unders.
"Indeed." The hosts nodded.
"There's nothing we can do about it, right?" Shitara asked Mukaye Lu.
"There is really nothing we can do about it. As long as I can enter the selection, I will be thankful." Noro Kayo said earnestly, "If you complain like Inoue-san, you will be replaced easily."
After receiving the advice from her senior, Inoue Sayuri covered her mouth in surprise, feeling a trace of regret in her heart.
Noro Kayo's words felt alarmist, although they sounded very relaxed.
"Ah, that's it." Banana Man also looked like he had been taught something.
"Probably, the members in the front row," Noro Kayo looked at them carefully, "the eight... gods of good fortune, yes, the eight gods of good fortune don't change very much, so replacing them all won't happen."
"But those members in the back row will really be caught up inadvertently."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the back row was in danger.
"And we recently recruited the second round." Himura added a more pressing reality for back-row selection.
"Yes, there are second-generation students." Noro Kayo continued, "Although I don't know everyone very well, but looking at the selection back row here and the under members there, I feel that there is actually no difference."
"I see, that's it!"
"I see, because I myself am the same." Shitara said following Noro Kayo's tone.
"I--"
As soon as Noro Kayo spoke, the crowd burst into laughter.
The didactic atmosphere was greatly reduced.
Just judging from the performance of the program so far today, there is indeed not much difference between the two. However, this is also related to the theme of today's project. The opening theme quickly turned into a complaint meeting of the unders, leaving many selected members who are usually very active in the program speechless.
"Well, I'm sorry, Yudan cried!" Mai Fukawa spoke.
The camera immediately went to Saito Yuri. It turned out that she was still stuck on the previous topic of no microphone in the back row, crying because there was no microphone.
When it comes to this, Shitara has something to say.
"I have been working without a microphone for 20 years! Didn't you only work for two years?"
Indeed, Nogizaka is a girl group owned by Sony and produced by Yasushi Akimoto. Their debut treatment is more than a star and a half better than Banana Man.
"It's so rude of you!" Himura waved the fan in his hand angrily.
"And don't you still have a top title?" Shitara said pretending to be miserable, you are treated so well, why do you have the nerve to complain to us?
Being a top performer before debuting is something that a comedian cannot even dream of.
Now the members who were still crying and complaining just now didn't dare to show off their misfortune. After all, no matter how miserable they were, they were just comparing themselves to the members in the group.
Compared with underground idols and other industries in society, Nogizaka members can be said to be in a state of bliss.
The members' complaints were finally stopped by Banana Man, who was even more miserable than they were at the beginning. After a while of laughter and laughter, the topic gradually returned to the right track.
The next program mentioned things that are closer to the members' work and life, such as self-searching online, fans retweeting, matching shirts with other members, etc.
The tense atmosphere has eased, and many front row selections have joined in the discussion.
At the end of the recording, everyone thanked Noro Kaya properly together.
Today’s teachings have benefited the members, especially the back row selection and under members, a lot.
After the show, although everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, the grudge was still firmly planted in their hearts.
It wasn't until Yoshio Konno announced a new performance plan-"Manatsu National Tour" that the backstage returned to the past laughter and laughter.
The so-called "Manatsu National Tour" means that Nogizaka will tour several major cities across Japan for the first time in the second half of the summer vacation in August.
The cities on this tour include Sapporo in Hokkaido, Fukuoka in Kyushu, Osaka in Kansai, Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture and the last stop in Tokyo.
The performance venues are all Zepp series live houses, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people to watch the performance. In the past, when Nogizaka went to various places to hold live performances, they basically used venues of this size.
Once such a performance plan is launched, it means that the whole month of August will be busy.
Don’t you think you don’t have a job? Now comes work.
The other members were very happy, but Amamiya Shiori was not happy. She originally wanted to take advantage of the summer vacation to do her own thing, but now her plan has been disrupted.
Fortunately, the tour only started on August 19th. At least there are still more than 20 days without intensive work after the final exam.
However, what Amamiya Sori didn't expect was that after announcing the tour, Yoshio Konno notified her separately of another important matter - the fashion magazine "CanCam" intended to hire her as the magazine's exclusive model.
Compared with regular models, the so-called exclusive models are actually the difference between contract workers and temporary workers. Exclusive models are treated better than regular models and will have much more shooting work, but they will be subject to some restrictions and cannot be published in competing magazines.
Currently Nogizaka’s only exclusive model is Mai Shiraishi. In March of this year, Shiraishi became an exclusive model for the fashion magazine "Ray".
Less than four months later, another fashion magazine "CanCam" came to the door, ready to sign another Nogizaka outside the village store.
"Ray" is a magazine with a light and sophisticated style. It is aimed at women in their 20s, who tend to be professionally OL and whose style is fashionable and gorgeous yet playful and sexy.
The readership of "CanCam" is mainly female students in their junior and senior years, as well as pink-collar workers who have just left campus. Although the age group is also around 20 years old, it prefers the transition style from campus to the workplace. It mainly introduces the things that young pink-collar workers like. There are all kinds of clothing and accessories, including styles that can be worn at work and matched with each other, as well as cute outfits specially designed for holidays.
Although Amamiya Sugawara is only a sophomore, she is also a newcomer who has been in the "workplace" for a year or two, and her identity is very suitable for the readership of "CanCam".
Becoming an exclusive model for a fashion magazine is a huge joy for any female artist who has just debuted.
But for Amamiya Shiori, it's a bit tasteless.
Fashion magazine shooting is too time-consuming. Makeup, styling, changing clothes, and posing take a long time to shoot, and there is no rush.
"Do you have any concerns?" Yoshio Konno couldn't help but asked after seeing Amamiya Shiori's hesitation.
"No, it's nothing, it's just..." Amamiya Soi couldn't think of any reason to refuse at the moment. As long as he is a normal idol, he cannot refuse.
"Just what?"
"Well, I have final exams to prepare for recently, so——"
"Oh, um, it's okay, don't worry," Yoshio Konno smiled, ""CanCam" is planning to officially sign the contract in early August. Just prepare for the exam and don't delay anything."
