The next day, November 27, was the release date of Nogizaka's seventh single "Hairpin". The sales volume on the first day has increased compared to the previous order, which shows that Nogizaka's sales have entered a stage of steady increase since the sixth order.
Changing c did not affect the process, which made Shiraishi Mai feel a little frustrated. She felt that the sales growth of the previous order had nothing to do with whether she was a center, because no matter who she changed, it would increase.
Indeed, the sales of the Akimoto Yasu girl group are linked to the handshake data. Although the center has been changed, there are still so many people who should shake hands. If they want to grow, they will continue to grow until they reach a bottleneck.
In order to comfort Shiraishi, Amamiya Souri took time out of his busy schedule to go on a date to Disneyland with her and spend a day playing.
Although it is a normal working day for office workers, there are also many tourists at Tokyo Disneyland. The queue started as soon as we entered at around 8 a.m. From morning to night, most of the time is spent in queue. Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Pirates of the Caribbean, Winnie the Pooh, Amamiya Shigaraki's legs were numb after standing in line this time.
I bought some souvenirs in the afternoon and watched the Frozen-themed fireworks light show in the evening. Although I was a little tired this day, I still had a lot of fun.
In November, Nogizaka graduated two more members, one is Miyazawa Narira and the other is Kashiwa Yukina. Perhaps because they were unable to enter the selection for a long time and the impact of the second-generation students joining, they chose to graduate.
They graduated in a hurry and announced on November 12th that they would terminate their activities on November 17th. They were not even prepared to attend Nogizaka's first live event at the Budokan in December.
In December, after the Christmas live broadcast, the second season of nogibingo officially started filming.
After suffering enough from the first season, the members were surprised to find that the level of spoofing in the second season was much lower than that in the first season.
Although the wretched Okada appeared on the stage wearing only underwear and Sayuri Matsumura's stovepipe socks, this time there was neither a cream cannon nor a male eldest sister. Instead, first- and second-year students played games together and played on-demand delusional scenes.
Even the number of times when the obscene Okada shook his tongue was much less. Maybe it’s because members expressed their dissatisfaction tactfully in the questionnaire.
Except for CDTV’s New Year’s Eve live, all the work from the past year has ended. Members who are not old enough to participate have packed their bags and returned to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year.
2013 is a year in which Nogizaka has entered a new era, with a new crown show, Manatsu Tour, the addition of second-generation students, and continuous replacement of new centers. In the second year after her debut, Nogizaka's career is booming. I'm afraid it won't be long before she can be on the red and white list like those idol girl group seniors, and then become famous.
"Is Xiaozhi's Coming of Age Day coming soon?" Mai Shiraishi asked lazily on the sofa at home in Tokyo.
"Yeah, that's right." Amamiya Nodded.
Although she was born in 1994, the date of her birth was assigned to the previous school year, so she will participate in the 2014 Adult Day together with Akimoto Manatsu, Saito Yuri and others who were born in 1993.
"Hey~ time flies so fast," Mai Shiraishi muttered, "At the beginning of this year, I just celebrated Adult Day."
"Yeah." Amamiya Shiori replied dully.
"What's wrong? Is Xiaozhi unhappy?" Shiraishi asked.
Amamiya Shiori was silent.
"Oh, I understand. Before adulthood, I look forward to growing up, but after adulthood, I am afraid of growing older. What is this mentality called?" Shiraishi Mai smiled.
"Mai, I...I have something to tell you."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Actually, I should have told you about this a long time ago, but I never found the right time." Amamiya Soi lowered his head and looked at his knees.
Seeing Amamiya Shiori's posture, Shiraishi Mai changed her posture and sat next to her, "Let's talk."
"I...I opened a company." Amamiya took a deep breath and finally said it.
The matter of starting a company cannot be hidden, so Amamiya Sori wanted to tell Shiraishi Mai in advance so that she could be mentally prepared.
"I have been very busy during this period, not because of my studies, but because I opened a company. When there are no activities in Nogizaka, I am basically busy with my company."
"Company? What company?" Mai Shiraishi asked in surprise, "Clothing company? Like the one run by Shinoda Mariko-san?"
"No." Amamiya Shiori shook his head, "It's an Internet company."
"Uh, Internet company?" When it comes to industries related to idols such as clothing, jewelry, bags, cosmetics, etc., Mai Shiraishi can still understand what an Internet company is like.
"Game company?" Mai Shiraishi remembered that Amamiya Soi had mentioned to her that she would invest in a mobile game company in Shanghai.
"No, the company's current main business is the short video platform."
"Short video? What is a short video? A very short video?"
Amamiya Sugawara explained, "Yes, you can understand it as a brand new social media app. It can be compared to Ins. The only difference is that Ins mainly posts pictures, while our app TikTok is only a few minutes long, or even Mainly short videos of more than ten seconds.”
Amamiya Shiori always surprises Shiraishi Mai unexpectedly, and Shiraishi Mai always thinks that no matter how great Amamiya Shiori is, it is possible for her to do something big. But even so, the idea of starting a company still shocked her.
The first thing she realized was whether Amamiya Suga would lose money by opening a company, but when she thought of the huge deposit that Amamiya Suga showed her some time ago, her anxiety calmed down a little.
"Why does Xiaozhi suddenly want to open a company?" Mai Shiraishi asked curiously. She only knew that many artists used their fame to open companies related to their own business. For example, an idol who is about to graduate sets up a personal fashion brand, a well-known actor breaks away from the control of an agency and sets up a personal agency, and an idol suddenly says that he wants to open an Internet company. This is a really far-reaching crossover.
"Opening a company is a plan I started a long time ago." Amamiya Sugawara said frankly, "Including being admitted to the University of Tokyo and entering the Information Science Department, I was all prepared to open a company."
Mai Shiraishi was stunned, "What about becoming an idol?"
"Well, becoming an idol was actually an accident." Amamiya Sugaru rubbed the back of his head, "At first, I planned to work part-time as a tutor to make money to pay off my student loans after I was admitted to Tokyo University."
"In other words, Xiaozhi didn't want to become a famous idol, singer, or actor?" Mai Shiraishi looked even more surprised than when she heard Amamiya Qi's showdown.
"That's right." Amamiya Sugawara admitted, "Because Nogizaka is in charge of accommodation and food, and there is Sony's capital behind it, so I came to take a chance. I looked for a slightly more leisurely job to save money for tuition."
