The clock in the background is still ticking.
But I couldn't hear it clearly. The staff backstage were in a hurry, and there were noisy voices coming and going around. Akb48's music was playing on the stage, and the audience's cheers echoed through the sky. The atmosphere was very lively.
In contrast to this lively scene, Baiyunshan and his little idols are like a stream flowing into the sea, as quiet as if they are not involved.
It seemed that everyone could only hear their own breathing and the increasingly louder heartbeat.
Away game? NTR in person? Ruining the place? You can make a joke or take it seriously or say whatever you want, but no one can easily relax and take it easy.
Baiyunshan's nervousness was not high. First of all, he was not cold about it. Secondly, he was not the one on stage, so he couldn't get nervous.
He leaned against the wall and glanced at the time on the wall while observing the members' reactions. He was also holding a camera in his hand while filming. These were important materials or memories for the future.
Needless to say, Takayama Ichimi's face had already turned serious, but her hands were still rubbing her elbows constantly. Even she didn't seem to notice this subconscious action, and the people under her nose seemed to be a little more profound. , one can tell at a glance that every inch of the air around him reveals nervousness.
Next to her, Nishino Nanase seemed to be doing much better. At least there didn't seem to be any tense expression on his face, and there were no unnecessary movements in his body. However, there was something obviously wrong with the look in his beautiful eyes. It could be seen that there was something wrong. His eyes were slightly emptied, and he didn't know whether he was too absorbed in thinking or was so nervous that his mind went blank.
Hashimoto Nana, who was further to the side, was a little better than the first two. He even had time to comfort Xiaotiao who was feeling nervous and uneasy, and gently patted her petite back with one hand. However, if you observe carefully, you can still find that the girl's body movements are a bit mechanical, and her eyes are as calm as a pool of stagnant water. It is obvious that her thoughts have flown to nowhere.
The other members are similar. It is worth mentioning that, perhaps because newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, the younger members are not too nervous. For example, the trio of Shengshengxing are obviously in a better mood than the older sisters. Quite a few.
Baiyunshan shook his head secretly, this is not okay! The most terrifying thing about a dilemma is never the dilemma itself, but your own illusion about the dilemma. The unknown is always the most terrifying, and waiting like this is no solution. If you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence. Sooner or later, you will be defeated by the anxiety and fear in your heart, and you may not be able to stand firm when the time comes.
So he handed the camera to Chuan Jingai, who was accompanying him, and then clapped his hands to attract the attention of the little idols.
"I'm going to go on stage in a moment. Before that, I have something to explain to you."
Baiyunshan pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "Everyone, are you feeling nervous?"
The members nodded naturally.
"It's okay to be nervous. If you're not nervous, I'll take you to see a doctor or something." Bai Yunshan smiled and chatted for a while, then stopped his smile and said seriously: "But there is no need to be nervous."
He raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and pointed to the live venue outside the backstage, pointing through the many walls to the stage at this time.
"It's them who should be nervous. The era of akb is about to go downhill, because they have a new group of challengers! This group of challengers have been carefully selected and stood out among tens of thousands of people, and then they have been polished with sweat and heartache. from."
He paused and continued.
"Just like the sun at its zenith, it shines to its peak, and then gradually fades away. A new round of bright moon is catching up along the route they have taken, occupying the sky and spreading the stars. Tell the world that from now on From now on, there will no longer be just one sun in the sky!"
The members' faces were slightly moved.
"But you have to remember that you are not standing on this stage to defeat them, you are here to prove yourself. Prove your existence, prove your significance, prove that you are no worse than others, and prove that one day you can officially stand on the stage. Go to this stage! Then, there will be a higher stage, a bigger live, Budokan, Tokyo Dome, and even overseas live!"
"They're not leaving and we're coming!"
A confident smile gradually appeared on Baiyunshan's face. He knew that he had to stand up at this time. This was not his responsibility, but to some extent it was his wish.
So he opened his hands and said: "Come on, generally speaking, everyone knows what to do before going on the field, right?"
The little idols looked at each other, thought hesitantly, and then started moving one after another, forming a circular formation on their left and right.
One right hand stretched out one after another, superimposed on top of each other, Rina Ikoma, Minami Hoshino, Erika Ikuta, Nana Hashimoto, Mai Shiraishi, Nanase Nishino...the names seemed to follow the ones that were stretched out. The hands were connected together, and the warmth conveyed from the palms made the invisible fear gradually fade away, the confusion gradually faded from the eyes, and a normal smile appeared on the face.
Finally... Baiyun Mountain.
Bai Yunshan covered his hand with a satisfied smile on his lips. His encouragement worked, and it was not in vain that he came up with such a long paragraph.
He took a deep breath, then tilted his head to reflect slightly, and said, "Do you still remember the slogan I said when we first met?"
The members' smiles faltered and they all froze on the spot.
"..."
It's as if the invisible BGM has been interrupted.
Baiyunshan shook his head helplessly: "Have you forgotten everything? I didn't expect this."
"But it doesn't matter, I'll say it again, you just have to shout along."
Baiyunshan's face straightened up and he shouted loudly: "Work hard! Thank you! Smile! We are Nogizaka, the top slope! 46!"
The members repeated: "Work hard! Thank you! Smile! We are Nogizaka, the Upside Saka! 46!"
"Work hard! Thank you! Smile! We are Nogizaka! Uphill Saka! 46!"
"Work hard! Thank you! Smile! We are Nogizaka, the top slope! 46!!"
"Work hard! Thank you! Smile! We are Nogizaka, the upper slope! 46!!! (Work hard, thank you, smile! Nogizaka, upper slope! 46!!!)"
The slogans became louder and more powerful every time.
The invisible fog and obstacles that shrouded the head seemed to be broken down, and at this moment, earth-shaking cheers came from outside the backstage.
However, Bai Yunshan understood that this was of course not for them, but that the song on the stage had been sung and it was the turn of his little idols to take the stage.
"Go ahead, it's your turn to play."
Everyone raised their hands high like a swing, and then disbanded the circle formation.
"Set off!"
