Selection for the second single is coming soon.
I don't know when, this news has spread to the ears of all the members, and everyone seems to be gradually becoming nervous.
Baiyunshan hadn't come yet when the debut single selection was held, so I didn't see the conditions on the scene. However, after watching the subsequent programs, and with the additions from Chuan Jingai and him, I can probably feel the depressive cruelty of "One Second to Heaven, One Second to Heaven" The feeling of hell, after all, haven’t you seen that even the usually calm Nana Hashimoto choked up in rare circumstances when she was selected for the debut single and entered Lucky God?
Not to mention the other members.
After all, not everyone can be as relaxed as a certain short-haired girl from Hokkaido and behave so calmly in front of Baiyun Mountain. It can be said that for the members, the so-called transcending AKB48 and having live performances in various places is too far away, and they can't imagine that scene at all. And the one who can clearly know its value and prove himself is the single selection.
The importance of this needs no explanation.
...
When the first dog fighting was recorded in early March, the lounge of Aichi TV Station was full of people.
The atmosphere was not as relaxed and natural as before. The members seemed to be distracted and doing their own things in their seats.
Baiyunshan heard that when people are extremely nervous, they may experience various symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, repetitive movements, loss of appetite, dizziness, and even drowsiness.
He forgot the specific reason and the scientific basis, but for now, judging from the performance of the members in the lounge, it seemed to make sense.
Mai Shiraishi's heartbeat was so loud that he could almost cover his ears to hear it. Takayama Ichimi's elbow was about to spark when she rubbed it against herself. Erika Ikuta and Sayuri Matsumura, a pair of fried chicken sisters, were also rarely seen in their free time. Eat something at all times, but stare blankly at the floor in front of you; Nishino Nanase leaned weakly on the shoulder of Nojo Aimi next to him, looking dizzy, while the Hokkaido girl Hashimoto Nana simply Fell asleep on the table.
Hmm... Of course, the last one may not necessarily mean nervousness, but it can also explain something from the side.
In the quiet lounge, only a few low-decibel conversations could be heard occasionally, and everyone waited quietly, like silent believers in a church. Such a serious scene made Baiyunshan embarrassed to remind a certain Osaka pigeon to put on her shoes. After all, looking at her nervous look, she might even shed tears on the spot if she was so irritated.
Forget it, it would be a good thing if you can relax a little this way... Baiyunshan thought silently in his heart.
It was almost time. He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, then suddenly stood up, opened the door and walked out in front of the members' astonished gazes.
At the same time, Chuan Jingai, who was holding a pile of envelopes outside the door, happened to be walking towards this side and saw Baiyunshan approaching.
"How is it?" Baiyunshan asked.
"The second single selection list will be announced almost today. The plan is to record a show before launching it. It will be similar to last time. However, the way the list will be announced is slightly different, and the members will be allowed to speak out themselves." Chuan Jingai He pursed his lips at the stack of envelopes he was holding and said, "Everyone who has entered the selection group is already inside. Generally speaking, there is nothing too unexpected."
Baiyunshan nodded, and then asked: "What are the opinions of Konno-san and I?"
Chuan Jingai sighed and said: "It's a pity that Konno-san and the others seriously considered it, but for the sake of safety, they finally rejected it."
He paused and then continued: "Although Ruoyue performed well and the conditions were good, considering the turmoil of the previous incident, Konno-san and the others decided to place one more order to be on the safe side. This was not only to consider the impact of the incident, but also to be on the safe side. It is also an explanation to other members, otherwise the impact will be too great."
"what about others?"
"Fukagawa said that Konno-san and the others had already decided to recruit a junior member who was about the same age as early as the beginning. Depending on the performance, at least there should be no chance for this order. And Saito... The situation of Asuka is similar. There are already three members under the year, and the similar attributes are almost enough. If there are more, it will be bloated. In addition, the results of the handshake meeting are not ideal, so if this order——"
"I see."
Baiyunshan was silent for a while, then pointed to the door of the lounge and said: "We will notify the members to start recording the program in a while. It's almost time."
"OK."
Chuan Jingai was about to leave, but Baiyunshan suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Kawakage-san."
"What's wrong? Baiyun-sang."
Chuan Jingai looked at him doubtfully.
Baiyunshan thought for a moment, took out a lemon-flavored lollipop from his pocket, slowly tore open a layer of plastic packaging, and then said slowly: "Kuanjing-san, what do you think of my opinion?"
Chuan Jingai was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Personally, Baiyun Santi's opinions are quite good, and they are feasible after consideration."
"Really?" Baiyunshan nodded slightly.
Then, he smiled softly, sighed lightly, and said, "Even you look at me like this, I think Konno-san and the others must be the same, right?"
Chuan Jingai asked in confusion: "Baiyun Sang... what does it mean?"
Baiyunshan glanced at him lightly, and then said softly: "No, it's nothing. You go and do your work first. I'll see you later."
"OK."
Chuan Jingai twisted his neck and left without knowing why.
Baiyunshan stared at his back and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Sure enough, I still don’t have enough status, and my words don’t have enough weight! Otherwise, since it is a reasonable suggestion and there is an opportunity to try it, it should not be suppressed. It is said that it is his own arrangement, but in the final analysis, he is young and has low influence, and his words are not convincing enough. If it were his cheap senior, I am afraid that it would have been settled by now.
But that's it, it's not good to forcefully interfere with the operations team's choices. After all, he is one of them. There are generally no problems with the operational arrangements, and all aspects of control are in place. This is just because this is a selection. This is a bloodless war. Every time this moment comes, the members are disappointed, nervous, and sad. when.
He didn't want to see this scene.
Concern is chaos.
Putting his hands behind his head, Baiyunshan let out a breath, the thoughts in his mind slightly tingling his nerves.
My heart is too soft. As a dirty and despicable adult, it is unqualified to always consider the mood of every little idol like this! After all, some people are happy and some are sad, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone. If everyone is satisfied, then it is not being an idol.
He couldn't help but recall the advice the store manager once gave him: do your best and do your best.
But......
Is this considered as doing your best? He couldn't help but think to himself.
