Taozi graduated.
Not only did I graduate, but I also retired. When I saw this news in the middle of the night, my brain was really shocked. I was speechless for a while. I just kept scrolling through Weibo, B site, and Twitter to see relevant news. It feels very complicated.
How should I put it, when entering this circle, some people’s first feeling is excitement, then some people’s first feeling must be bitterness, and I think Taozi should be the latter.
She was first selected as a third-generation student. A simple country girl from Kagoshima who knew nothing about the entertainment industry and was a blank slate suddenly entered a big city like Tokyo. The dense crowds, towering buildings, and all kinds of things that need to be learned and remembered about the profession of idol must have been a big impact on Tao Zi at that time.
What's more, there are still 18 orders to come.
I came to an unfamiliar environment ignorant and unprepared. I practiced hard every day and touched things I didn't understand at all. In addition, the 18 orders were airborne and all kinds of malicious intentions were flying on the Internet, which made the pressure even greater.
This also caused us to cry when we watched Taozi’s early videos, whether during fortifications or many other videos. Crying again and again may make people sympathize with you at first, but if you cry too much later, some people will definitely get bored and wonder, does this person only know how to cry? Why don't others see you as vulnerable? What will other people think if you still cry after becoming a C?
This also led to the emergence of so many negative remarks at that time, a vicious circle, and the curse became even louder, although it is no longer seen.
But all she could really do was cry.
Perhaps as Tao Zi said, she is not suitable to stay in the entertainment industry, because from the beginning, she did not come here on her own initiative. What she first felt when she came to this circle was not prosperity and satisfaction, but It's bitter, confused and scared.
I think this impression had a profound impact on her.
But I have to say that Taozi is a very hard-working idol. After crying again and again, she didn't stop crying. She learned a lot. I learned how to dance, sing, how to speak on variety shows, how to communicate fluently on the radio, and oh, by the way, I also learned how to deal with handshake meetings. At least in my impression, Taozi's response to handshake meetings was very interesting.
She also learned not to cry.
When Taozi gradually matured and finally said that he would never cry again, we couldn't guess how he felt at that moment when he recalled the time when he cried like a mess at the beginning.
But when she became more and more likeable step by step, and one by one she couldn't help but shamelessly shouted "I want to eat peaches", then suddenly, unexpectedly, she announced her graduation and stated her determination to retire. At this time, I think everyone who has known this girl and must have liked her will feel regretful in their hearts.
Regret that it ended suddenly, regret that it was too late to like it.
Graduation is not the end, but a new beginning.
This sentence will be mentioned over and over again every time a member graduates, but what about retirement?
Everyone will be confused when facing separation, and they will stop. After hugging each other tightly, the moment we let go, we will all grow up - this is the meaning of goodbye.
The little princess recently reappeared and published a book. It seems that she has really let go of the bitterness of her idol career. Youdan is ready to withdraw from the industry, but he looks good and has an Instagram that he can check every day. As for Na, she suddenly appeared at about this time in July last year, blowing up all the bridges that were almost buried under the coffin. Many people who like Nogizaka, including myself, were in awe of that little girl. I looked over several photos countless times, and then I felt deep in my heart that it looked like Nanamin was doing well after retiring, and she could finally feel at ease——
Well, not seeing the ring is of course also a very important factor.
It seems that the lyrics are correct. Maybe after graduation, Taozi will really work as a civil servant, which is not bad. The girl who could only cry at the beginning has now transformed into an equally kind-hearted but full of charm Tao Zi. She has sweet peaches and spades at her fingertips. We have no way of knowing how much effort she has put in over the years, but judging from her retirement, She must be tired.
It's time to rest when you're tired.
I just don’t know how much news I can see from Taozi other than Instagram in the future? This guy sometimes doesn't post on his mobile phone for a month, and his ins updates are not as frequent as those of Youdan. I'm afraid there will be very few opportunities, right?
A full three or four years have passed since Na woman graduated and reappeared. Taozi at least has ins. I update it a few times a month to perfunctory those of us who want to eat peaches, and I am very satisfied.
Taozi, who retires after graduation to do what she wants to do, will definitely be more attractive, right? There is no need to worry about being tied up or feeling uneasy. After all, you are doing what you like to do. Even if you change to a strange environment, there should be no problem.
As for crying, haha, Tao Zi won’t cry anymore, right?
Parting makes people grow, encounters must be meaningful, and after sadness, we still have a future.
The lyrics of "The meaning of having to say goodbye" are indeed very well written. When I think about it, after getting over the regret and reluctance, I feel more and more looking forward to the future of Tao Zi who has returned to ordinary people.
I just don’t know if Taozi herself is also looking forward to it?
I think, yeah?
It must be.
Let me borrow a line from the movie "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" that was sung by 46 Hour TV and Taozi TV last year and the song "Unchanging Forever" that impressed me deeply:
I'll wait for you in the future.
--Well, I must go and run.
Tao Zi is ready to move towards that bright future.
I want to run.
