On April 7, the Nagoya handshake meeting began.
What is noteworthy about this handshake meeting at the Aichi Expo Memorial Park is that not all members participated. Among them, Erika Ikuta, Nakagen Hikari, and Chiharu Saito, commonly known as the third group, were studying for exams. absent.
And there is nothing we can do about it. After all, school has already started in April, and we will indeed be a little busier academically during this period.
As for the relationship between academics and the road to becoming an idol, the management team has clearly hinted at it, but unfortunately, for girls at this age, the road to becoming an idol may be important, but their studies are not. Can be put down easily. After all, whether it is related to future life or related to previous and current experiences, going to school to study is obviously a very important thing.
There are classmates and friends in the school. When an idol is accompanied by members, it is difficult to say which is more important. But when it comes to choosing, the vast majority of members still want to choose them all in the early stage.
Therefore, it is completely normal to be an idol while going to school.
Back to the topic, this handshake will be a debut single handshake meeting. Since the sales of the debut single are indeed good, the workload is also relatively large. Fortunately, this time's handshake will be different from the last individual handshake. It will be a full handshake, so it will not happen like the last time. To be honest, that kind of scene is too much for me. For a team with only a few members or even a member who hasn't seen anyone for a long time, the blow is really too big.
Baiyunshan still remembers the individual handshake meeting at the end of March. There was a huge difference between the popular Fushen members and the unpopular Under members.
It's okay that there are members who have participated in activities before joining Nogizaka46, and they can be considered to have accumulated a little popularity, but those members who really debuted for the first time are miserable. The queue in front of them is empty. The older sisters can calm down and comfort themselves that at least it is not that hard, and then chat about nothing. The younger sisters are not so open-minded. Sadness and crying are normal, and I have truly experienced the cruelty of the idol industry.
In order not to make the little idols under him too sad, Baiyunshan also painstakingly bought a doll suit to disguise himself, and then ran around in the suit, running to whichever side was empty. There were also several queues that were empty, forcing him to conscientiously comfort and encourage the members in front of him, and then rush to the next one without even taking a breath.
Not to mention the rewards after such an operation, Baiyunshan himself was very tired, and he was almost recognized by people like Little Asuka Maya a few times in the process. Fortunately, he succeeded in the end because of their young age and some advantages. After being fooled, it can be regarded as experiencing the experience of a busy person.
It's just that he doesn't want to experience this experience a few more times.
Insider Nana Hashimoto joked that he was like a firefighter, running wherever there was a fire. There seems to be no difference between the two. The firefighters seem to be putting out fires, but in fact they are still saving people. Baiyun Mountain is also saving people, but it is not the bodies they are saving, but the fragile minds of the members of the Nianxia Group.
After rushing to the venue, the mood of Little Asuka Maya and others who obviously suffered from the handshake meeting was much better, and they were not as sad as before. Information about this handshake meeting also spread inexplicably after their exchange. The urban legend of a white Daifuku doll...
Fortunately, according to Baiyunshan's judgment, the situation will gradually get better. After all, the clues can already be seen from the sales results of the debut single. With good sales results, the popular members will naturally become more popular, and the less popular members will gradually accumulate. The initial bitterness will eventually fade away, and I will not need to wear a doll costume again. Play the firefighting game.
Feeling a little relieved, Baiyunshan looked at the scene in front of him, shook his head slightly and laughed.
In the handshake meeting venue set up at the Aichi Expo Memorial Park, there are many idol nerds who came to participate in the handshake meeting. They participated in the activities at different entrances and lined up to shake hands and chat with their favorite little idols. But usually they can only say half a sentence before being pushed away. The members who haven't finished thanking them can only look at the next meal blankly.
Observing the strong and powerful muscles of the pushing staff hidden in the coat, Baiyunshan secretly sighed, it was indeed the result of hard work, it was much better than the ones in the gym. A pair of unicorn arms are as strong as a thousand armies. No matter who you are or what you want to say, you can only be pushed away obediently when faced with these arms. Otherwise, not only will you have to face punishment from the staff, but you will also have to accept the anger of the idol otakus in the long queue behind you.
As for pushing people, Baiyunshan would definitely not do it by himself because he would be too tired. Not to mention anything else, just standing there for a day is tiring enough. Even though there is a shift change, for him, as a salty fish, it is enough to be lazy and take care of him for a while. He was exhausted in the past. , it’s really not necessary.
"Minami-chan is so cute!"
"❤Hi! Arigado!❤"
"Mai looks great!"
"Yeah! Me too!"
"Ichimi-chan\amazing/!"
"\amazing/!!"
...
The scene was lively and lively.
The handshake party is in full swing, and Baiyunshan feels bored after watching it for a long time. After all, he has a natural sense of superiority over these idol otakus - you spend money to queue up and work hard to attend the handshake party, just to shake little hands. After chatting for a few words, he was pushed away within two seconds. But he could see this group of people almost every day when he opened his eyes. Not to mention chatting, he had already finished reading a certain novel mentioned above to them. Think about how much time he had.
But he could only think about it in his heart. If he really said it in front of these guys, he was worried that he might be severely disabled in public, so he decided not to die like this.
The break came soon. The original plan was to start a mini live first and then have a handshake meeting in the afternoon. However, considering that there seemed to be more people than expected, we decided to start a mini live session from morning to noon. For a short handshake meeting, there will be a live performance after a break, and then the rest of the handshake meeting will be completed in the afternoon.
Needless to say, the reason why it became like this was naturally because of Baiyunshan’s advice.
The reason is also very simple. It may seem that the process is a bit more cumbersome, but in actual operation, the pressure on the members is obviously less. After all, even if there is rest time, standing still for several hours is still a test of physical strength. Considering that a certain Hokkaido girl's waist had just been cured by herself, it would not be good if problems appeared again after standing for a long time, so of course she had to follow the method of reducing burden and weight.
After the break, there will be a mini live. According to the statistics on the spot, there are about 2,000 people.
It doesn't sound like much. Compared with those live performances that often attract tens of thousands of people, the adjective "mini live" is very suitable. But standing at the scene, especially on the stage, you can understand that two thousand people are actually a lot. There are so many people looking up to you. Looking at this place with his head tilted, he could see that the pressure was increasing sharply.
But idols are destined to sing and dance on stage. This kind of thing is like the remaining fish that have to adapt to water. Idols are also born to adapt to the stage. These can only be regarded as the prelude to the official large-scale live. , the whetstone for honing courage and sense of stage, regardless of the importance, escape is definitely impossible, you must face it head-on.
Baiyunshan was still sighing and thinking, but in the background, someone was looking for him.
