The next members of the third row to enter the selection are Saito Asuka, Fukawa Mai and Akimoto Manatsu.
The confirmation of the third-ranked list made many members whose names have not yet been called feel wary.
"The announcement continues. Next is the list of lucky gods." Kikuchi said, "Second row, No. 6, Sakurai Reika."
The corner position in the second row seems to have been fixed as the captain's exclusive position, and no one was surprised at all by her selection.
Sakurai Reika expressed her views on the changes in selection and expressed her determination to lead the changed team to continue working hard.
Then there is No. 10 in the second row, corresponding to Sakurai Reika is Wakazuki Yumi.
It is quite inspiring for Wakazuki Yumei to become the God of Fortune. The early photoshoot incident made her start from under, step by step back to the selection to the regular selection, and finally became the God of Fortune.
Although he is an "expanded" blessing, it is already a complete ranking improvement.
"The announcement continues, No. 7 - Erika Ikuta."
Erika Ikuta is a member of Fukugami Nagaren. She has only been to the third row once so far. In the first few rows, she often stood in the first row, next to Ikoma Rina and Hoshino Minami.
According to the usual practice, these three people are probably all lucky gods, so in the end there are only five lucky gods left.
When they thought that the contenders for these five places were Shiraishi, Hashimoto, Matsumura, as well as Amamiya and Nishino, many members had given up hope.
"Next is No. 9 - Amamiya Shiori."
Amamiya Shiori walked up to Shitara.
"How are you feeling now?" Shitara asked.
"I feel very lucky to be able to continue to be the God of Fortune." Amamiya Shiori glanced at the silent crowd on the hina altar on the right, and then at the newly selected members on the left who were standing in a new position to comfort each other and wipe away tears.
I wanted to mention the changes in the selection and say something like "I'm happy to have new members enter the selection", but in the end I chose to give up.
"During the Six Singles period, although I tried my best, there were still many regrets and things I didn't do well."
"Yeah." Shitara nodded.
"So, for the new order, I will set my goal and continue to work hard."
"So, come on!" Shitara encouraged.
"Hey, I'll do my best." Amamiya Suga nodded and walked to station No. 9.
After Amamiya Sugawara, the one whose name was called was Ikoma Rina.
The No. 8 position in the middle of the second row proves that she still plays a very important role in operational considerations.
Ikoma Rina herself breathed a sigh of relief. She was the c position in the fifth row, and then relaxed for a while in the sixth position. She didn't want to go back to the first row and be the c position.
Rina Ikoma who walked onto the stage was the one who smiled the most in this selection.
Looking relaxed, she bluntly said in her speech that she was very depressed when her first five orders dropped to C, and she was very happy after her sixth order dropped to C.
Rather than aiming for improvement, Rina Ikoma feels that what she should do most at the moment is to do her best to do her best.
It gives people the feeling of early retirement that they have reached the top and can just be themselves for the rest of the time.
Currently, the only players in Nogizaka who have served as centers are Ikoma and Shiraishi. Ikoma's position has been determined, so the center of the seventh order will most likely be Shiraishi.
Amamiya Shiori looked at the other side, where Mai Shiraishi, who had a serious look on her face, did not show a trace of joy.
Next comes the highlight, the announcement of the first ranking list.
"First row, No. 5 - Sayuri Matsumura."
It was a certainty that the "Yu San Jia" would enter the first row, and no one was surprised.
"First row, No. 1—Nishino Nanase."
Nishino Nanase is also the only remaining member of the Lucky God whose name has not yet been called with a high probability.
Nishino, who entered the first row for the first time, was a little nervous and spoke with a slight vibrato.
Among the last three people, No. 4 in the first row is Hashimoto Nanami, while No. 2 in the first row is Mai Shiraishi.
Um?
The members' hearts were full of questions.
It's not Shiraishi, the center is not Ikoma or Shiraishi!
In other words, a new center will be born today, the third center since the establishment of Nogizaka?
When Mai Shiraishi heard her name, she pursed her lips and forced a smile.
"Shiraishi was called here." Shitara also noticed something unusual.
Although Shiraishi Mai was smiling, her eyes didn't mean to smile at all.
"Shiraishi."
"Hi." Shiraishi Mai nodded.
Shitara had already felt Shiraishi's unhappiness, and comforted him: "Well, this time I am still in the God of Fortune, and Shiraishi has always been the God of Fortune."
"Yes." Shiraishi answered calmly.
"I stood in position C last time."
"Yes, it's my first time standing in position C, um," Mai Shiraishi looked at the floor, not looking directly at the camera.
She was preparing her words, "There will be some things that I find annoying in my heart. Because I am in the center, I have to take into account a lot of things and consider a lot of things."
"Because of everyone's support, Liudan's efforts until now are the result of everyone uniting and trying their best to climb up."
"I'm in the front row again this time, okay. Let's work hard together to make better works." The tone was very calm, but Amamiya Soi could hear the unwillingness in her heart.
Obviously, I worked so hard for my sixth single. It was featured in magazines, variety shows, and promotions one after another. The sales of the single were a big breakthrough, and I even started a summer concert tour, but I still fell out of the center.
Did you do a bad job?
Mai Shiraishi's heart was filled with reluctance and doubts.
"Well, Shiraishi served as the center in the last album. He was often out and did a lot of work. He is a well-deserved 'Face of Nogizaka,'" Shitara praised. "Please lead Nogizaka well in the future."
"Hi, thank you everyone!" Shiraishi bowed and walked to seat 2.
So far, 18 members have been selected from the seven singles, and only the last center has not yet been announced.
"The center of this Qidan is neither Ikoma nor Shiraishi." Shitara was also quite curious.
The girls in the young altar are sitting upright. Is any of them going to soar into the sky?
"The last one is here, the new center of the seven orders, let's announce it." Shitara said.
Kikuchi glanced at the list in his hand.
"No. 3—Hori Mina."
who?
Amamiya Shiori looked left and right in confusion. She was not the only one doing this.
Is there such a member? Amamiya Sōri thought about it carefully, but she couldn't think of where she had heard this name before.
I’ve been around for so long and still can’t remember the names of the members I’ve worked with for two years, right? She scratched her head.
"Huh?" Shitara was also very confused. There was no such name among the members he was familiar with.
"Second-generation students, second-generation students." Ikoma Rina, standing next to Amamiya Shiori, muttered in a low voice.
Amamiya Shiori looked sideways, second-generation student? He's actually a second-generation student?
Next to the camera not far away, in the team of second-term students attending the school, a thin figure stood up while covering his face and sobbing in fear.
She wore a single ponytail and thick bangs. She looked exactly like a first-year student who had just joined the group and didn't know how to dress up.
