The selection of the fourth single "Uniform Doll" was still conducted by the female staff responsible for the announcement last time, Sayuri Shiraishi.
There are sixteen selection positions, and the first two are the God of Fortune positions, making a total of eight, occupying exactly half of the selection positions. Because it is different from the Seven Lucky Gods that have been adhered to in the previous orders, in a sense, it vaguely hints at innovation and parting ways with the original path——
It is not difficult to imagine that the style of the title song of this single has changed drastically. It is different from the orthodox idol style of the previous singles. The prototype of Gao Leng Zi has already appeared. Handsome and fast-paced songs must be matched with smart dance moves, and this style is undoubtedly a big step forward on the path Nogizaka is taking today.
However, although this path is the innovation that a certain cheap senior has been looking forward to, but how successful this innovation is and what the market feedback will be. From Baiyunshan's point of view, to be honest, the cheap senior I actually don’t have much confidence.
After all, style needs to be explored, and every possibility that has not yet been determined has a chance. It's just that a certain cheap senior prefers this handsome style that is completely different from the current AKB. It's normal to be unsure.
And once it fails, or the sales response is not as expected, then it will undoubtedly have to continue to consider other plans. This is unacceptable whether it is a cheap senior or today's operations. of.
Therefore, in order to ensure that this brand-new style can obtain corresponding benefits-even if there is no benefit, it still needs to obtain corresponding attention-then the best way, and the easiest way to think of, is undoubtedly only one.
That is creating a topic.
Or, to put it more bluntly...the heat.
What kind of topics are the most popular? Not necessarily for other people, but for this new idol group, especially for the fans of this idol group, suddenly a person who has almost never heard of it came to the front row during the selection. He got a privileged position when he appeared on the stage, and squeezed out the little idols he was following. This thing is undoubtedly exciting enough——
If nothing else, the discussion is definitely rising, and what kills two birds with one stone is that when a more eye-catching issue arises, the doubts caused by the change in the single's dance style will naturally not be so important. This also allows the changes in this order to proceed more smoothly——
However, these things are naturally beyond the imagination of the young idols who are anxiously preparing for the selection at this time.
The selection is about to begin, and the tense atmosphere hangs over the girls.
In the depressing atmosphere, everyone's expressions were not relaxed. Even the big live treasures on weekdays were unusually solemn at this time. Their hearts were beating rapidly as if they were about to pop out of their throats. They were so nervous. It is difficult to breathe.
Nishino Nanase unconsciously reached out and pressed his chest, as if to calm his increasingly faster heartbeat. After it calmed down slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
'We can't have problems at this time——'
The girl thought silently in her heart, it took a lot of effort to get here today, and it was finally the day of the fourth single selection. The agreement with Baiyun Sang seemed like yesterday. Everything was just waiting for the final result to come out. If she showed up because she was too nervous at this time If the situation is reached, it would not be a good thing——
Especially when there was good news just now.
Thinking of this, Nishino Nanase's lips couldn't help but evoke a faint smile of excitement.
The original Seven Gods of Luck have now become the Eight Gods. From a pessimistic point of view, of course it is inflation, and it seems that the value of the Gods of Luck is not as precious as before. But for girls, this is exciting news.
There is one more position, which means that the chance is even greater. The girl who is originally the God of Fortune is more likely to be able to stand in the position of the God of Fortune in this order. And as long as they can firmly stand in the position of God of Fortune, other meanings are not important to girls.
As long as you can enter the God of Fortune——
As long as he can be a god of good fortune——
As long as you can.
As he recited these words in his heart, his heartbeat, which had gradually slowed down, sped up again. Nishino Nanase bit her lips nervously, slightly opened the gap between her lips, and took a deep breath silently.
You must work hard.
With this thought in his mind, Nishino Nanase suddenly turned his head slightly and glanced at a certain corner, wanting to see that familiar figure to reassure himself.
However, what caught his eye was a girl besides someone.
'That's... Manatsu? What are they talking about -'
Nishino Nanase was slightly startled.
...
...
"...Do you think you can make it to the selection this time?"
Hearing this question, Akimoto Manatsu was stunned for a long time.
If an ordinary member comes to ask, the girl will just think that the other person simply wants to ask her opinion, which is a little darker, and may even be making fun of herself. After all, everyone knows that she has not even officially returned yet. Whether it is among the many staff members or in front of the fans outside, she is a complete stranger.
But if you ask from Baiyun Mountain, the meaning is completely different.
No matter what, this guy is the only person who has the dual identity of agent and operation team member. To a certain extent, his words can be regarded as part of the meaning of the operation team, and this kind of question is asked at this time. , and what deeper meaning is hidden in it?
Akimoto Manatsu doesn't know.
Maybe she had a vague guess, but it felt so ridiculous that she could only force herself not to know.
So she could only shake her head: "I don't know."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know. You'll find out after reading it."
Baiyunshan obviously didn't care about the other party's answer. He just asked suddenly on a whim. After shrugging indifferently, he stared at the place where the lights in the studio converged, closed his mouth, and said no more.
...
...
In the studio, the selection of Nogizaka46's fourth single "Uniform Doll" has officially begun.
Without waiting for a long time, the first person to enter the selection was surprisingly a girl who has always had a very good reputation both in the staff operation team and among the members - Takayama Kazumi.
The great left back is now finally standing in her position. Although it is a corner position, after experiencing the performance of sixteen people, the status of the little idols has obviously improved greatly, and their emotional ups and downs are much better than before. There are no such big changes, whether you are happy or sad, you can still control it more or less.
Therefore, although he inevitably felt a little disappointed in his heart, Takayama Kazumi still finished his speech beautifully, pursed his lips, showed a bright smile, and stood at his No. 16 position at the scene.
Looking at the figures of his relatives and friends, Nishino Nanase secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As a pair of close friends recognized in the group, the two have such a good relationship. In addition to complementing each other in personality, they also have similarities to some extent.
At least for the God of Fortune, the two girls had almost the same hope and desire, and they had discussed it more than once in private. This time the other party failed to enter the God of Fortune. For Nishino Nanase, who knew the obsession of his relatives and friends better than anyone else, it was natural to feel slightly worried.
Fortunately, the girl's gentle and optimistic character was here, and her obsession with the God of Fortune was finally overcome. She climbed the ladder steadily and stood at the position of No. 16.
Everything was calm, and the beginning of the four singles selection was so uneventful that the girls including Nishino Nanase breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, during selections in the past, there have never been fewer tears due to nervousness and excitement. Although it is understandable, there is no doubt that the exaggeration of tension and atmosphere often comes from here.
Fortunately, it seems to be relatively stable this time.
Nishino Nanase thought to himself.
But the words that came out immediately shattered the thoughts that had just surfaced in her mind——
"The next number 15 is - Nishino Nanase."
