Soon, news about the Nogizaka group was announced on Nogizaka46’s official website.
Once the news was released, it attracted a lot of attention. Is it possible for idols who have already debuted to form a band within the group? What is this operation? Could it be that there are differences among the operational decision-makers and they are planning to try another route? It has to be said that this piece of news alone is enough to trigger widespread discussion.
Some people have speculated whether this is a promotional warm-up for the fourth single that has not yet been released. As a specially prepared event, professional orchestra members in the industry may be invited to help out in order to achieve a publicity effect.
After all, Sony has deep pockets, vast connections and sufficient resources, so it’s not surprising that it can do such a thing. Especially in the early days when visibility is scarce and there is an urgent need to create topics to attract traffic, it seems reasonable to use a ruthless hand and spend a lot of money.
You must know that the promotion of the third single "Go! Bicycle" was carried out openly and openly at the Akita Prefecture Cultural Festival. It can be said that the cultural festival has reached the top level in the region. Everyone knows that It's not something that ordinary people can go in to promote. There are still many people who still don't understand how Sony has the resources to get in. It's especially incredible when you think about it.
And now that there is a similar one, it seems that it is not incomprehensible.
However, this speculation was quickly rejected. After all, the sudden appearance of such a Nogi group was obviously related to the internal affairs of the idol group. Rather than inviting professional band members to help out, it was better to say that it was among the young idols. There is a high possibility that someone will form an independent group and start a new venture. This idea is really a bit fanciful.
And it’s not unknown that a certain cheap senior likes to form separate groups, from AKB48 at the beginning to SKE48, nmb48, HKT48, NGT48 and so on. Although the current reasons and situation are not quite the same as the former reasons for making these moves, it is still possible to make analogies, and maybe it will be another attempt in this regard.
After all, what Sony Music is best at is music. Idol groups are only taking rescue measures because they are jealous of the idol economy that attracts so much money. They have been trying for more than a year now. It is not a good idea to branch out and pursue the right path. impossible--
After that, the website successively announced the list of members of Nogi, as well as a series of contents such as organizational structure, completely removing the mysterious veil hanging on Nogi's face, allowing this freshly minted idol band to appear for the first time. In front of public view.
Vocalist: Nojo Aiwei, Nakagen Hikaru.
Guitar: Mai Fukawa, Mayo Kawamura.
Bass: Hana Nakata.
Keyboardist: Nagashima Seira.
Drums: Asuka Saito.
The roster includes Nakata Hana, a glorious member who has been selected for several consecutive albums before and was at the forefront of the group in the second album, and Nakagen Hikaka, who has never been selected since her debut. The candidates within the quota are selected, but most of them have ups and downs and ups and downs in the selection. It can be said that as long as you have a general understanding of the composition of this idol group, you can already clearly see the meaning of the selection of personnel.
It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a new start. After all, this move is obviously aimed at the current predicament that Under is in, and opens up a new path for the girls to try again——
The discussion level of the topic immediately increased to a higher level. Many idol fans who had been paying attention to the members of under expressed their gratitude and praise. They bluntly said that the management had finally done a good thing and did not let these outstanding girls continue to sit on the bench. Go ahead and waste your youth.
For example, Kawamura Mahiro, it is already known to everyone in the Nodan idol fandom that a girl has a good voice. Many people are attracted to her because of this characteristic, but they have never met her. The opportunity to show off one's talents must be said to be a regrettable thing.
Now that I can join Nogidan and show off my talents, let’s not talk about the future prospects. Just taking such a small and cautious step is enough to make people feel gratified.
Another example is Zhongyuan Rimexiang, and the black mold candy beam, a special trick for girls, has gradually spread on blogs and other places with the help of members' intentional promotion. Not only has this trick gradually become more widely known among fans, but it has also attracted a lot of attention, and the number of guests at the handshake party has also increased by several percent.
It is precisely because of this that it is even more regrettable that the girl has been in four singles in a row but has not even touched the threshold of selection. The lead singer can almost be called the face of a band. It is the first impression of the band for all audiences, and its importance is self-evident. A girl who can obtain such a position is naturally well received.
As for the other Nogi members, they have similar comments. For example, Mai Fukawa, grown-up girls naturally have more pressure than other members. The golden period of idols only lasts a few years, and every second is wasted.
Although Mai Mai has successfully entered the selection with this single after the previous one, no one knows whether she can continue to maintain her good luck, especially since the graduation of Yumiko Iwase, the eldest member of the previous team, was not long ago. In the past, once you failed the selection again, you would most likely be in a doomed situation.
Being able to enter the Nogi Group and occupy a place this time is undoubtedly a safety signal sent by the operation. After all, everything else may be false, but the real resources must be real. With such sincere and generous resources, The girl's condition is obviously much better than before——
Of course, with the spotlight on the topic, there is certainly no praise.
In addition, there are more confusions and questions. After all, everyone knows about idols and everyone knows about bands, but what is an idol band? Can an idol be in a band?
In other words, is it qualified?
With the popularity of AKB48 founded by a certain cheap senior, the meaning of the term idol has obviously undergone earth-shaking changes from the idols of decades ago. The era of national idols has arrived, and any young person who has the ability and dreams Girls can sign up to participate in the selection and eventually become one of the idols.
With such a dramatic increase, there is no doubt that the term idol will be devalued.
Sing? dance? Idols only need to express themselves and sell their personas to please their fans. What's the use of these? Can it be eaten as a meal? Can I get more votes when participating in the general election? Perhaps they are still a little better than ordinary people, but it is almost universally recognized that idols' professional level is at the bottom of the industry.
It is precisely because of this that when the term "Nogi Band" or "idol band" appeared, it immediately triggered extensive discussions, and at the same time, doubts and ridicules also followed mercilessly——
Can a group of idols form a band and sing well? Come on, this singing skill is probably not even comparable to that of a professional orchestra. What kind of orchestra do a group of girls who are only fourteen and twenty years old know? What good songs can you sing? I'm afraid that even if the best music is placed in their hands, it will only be wasted!
Sony shouldn't be so dizzy, right? It should be just a casual thing for fun. After all, they are still a group of idols. How can they achieve the level of a serious band? Most likely, it's just a mediocre song randomly picked to attract attention and publicity, and it won't make any splash.
Since you are an idol, just stay on stage and dance some easy dances, and sing some otaku-friendly songs that anyone can sing! Are you able to get involved in something like an orchestra? Stop being funny——
...
There are many more comments like this.
However, although most of the comments from the outside world are not very optimistic about this, there is still a small group of people who hold the opposite opinion. This group of people mainly noticed one detail, that is, in the news about Nogi Group announced on the official website, There is such a concise and clear message——
Producer: Baiyunshan.
This detail undoubtedly makes these people excited, because they were all attracted by Nogizaka's compositions from the very beginning, and they are pure music fans. Among all the repertoire of Nogizaka so far, the name Baiyunshan is undoubtedly the most popular one except for some cheap ones. The one who appears the most outside of seniors.
What’s even more terrifying is that almost all the good songs since the group’s debut were composed by him! With the blessing of such a mysterious boss, it is conceivable that Nogidan’s future is full of exciting factors.
So amid such fierce debates and scoldings, a video was quietly posted on the official website under the label of Nogidan.
