The next days passed quietly.
The members are naturally practicing intensively. Although there are still more than two months until the release of the fifth single "Your Name Is Hope", there are all kinds of work and programs, and there are also There is the most important one-year anniversary live that needs to be held, and if you think about it carefully, the time is really not much.
Especially the girls who are also members of Nogi. After Baiyunshan handed them the latest song not long ago, every time they finish today's activities in the practice room, they rush to the underground practice ground almost every day to continue. Nogidan's practice.
Even the youngest Xiao Feiniao is like this. Over time, the girls have made rapid progress, and the practice of new songs has been quite fruitful.
Seeing this scene, Baiyunshan was naturally relieved, so he finally told the girls the main purpose of practicing this new song, that is, the music event they will participate in soon——
"Activity?"
The girls couldn't help but feel flattered when they heard this unexpected answer. Considering that they have only been established for a short time, they have only had one single, and they are a special band that was released along with the Nogizaka single. How can they still participate in music events? ?
After looking at each other, they all looked at someone curiously: "What activity?"
"Well, it's a music event that has a lot to do with me, but you guys can go there too—"
Baiyunshan explained vaguely, without explaining the specific reason, but continued: "Of course, I am not going as an independent person, but as the Nogizaka46 group. When the time comes, I will need to perform on stage. I plan to let you The song I’m playing is the one I’m practicing now.”
"——As for the time...it will be around the beginning of next month. Don't worry, there is still time."
Seeing the nervous expressions on the girls' faces, Baiyunshan smiled and added slowly.
"Next month-"
The girls who heard this sentence all breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, when they heard that they were actually going to participate in the event with the song they were practicing, it can be said that every girl present felt nervous.
After all, except for Baiyunshan, no one knows better than them. If they really perform on stage at their current level, it will be difficult to achieve satisfactory results...especially to the point where professionals are satisfied. Fortunately... .....There is still some time to practice slowly——
That's it. With Baiyun Sang's meticulous but magical teaching level, it won't be difficult to polish this piece to the point where it's on par with a professional orchestra before next month. A girl who has already had this experience once They even think it’s more than enough——
However, not long after they breathed a sigh of relief, and even before they could chat and share their excitement about future activities, Baiyunshan suddenly remembered something, patted his forehead and said something leisurely.
"It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to practice with you tomorrow—"
"Eh? Why?"
The girls' eyes widened immediately. As I said just now, it is precisely because of the existence of this ace teacher that the girls can be confident. Even if they hear that they are about to participate in an activity, it is only in terms of time. Just got over the tension for a while.
But now that someone is gone, what can we do now?
They couldn't help but nervously opened their mouths to persuade him to stay.
"Baiyun Sang, why did you leave suddenly?"
"Isn't it good to be like this now? If we just rely on ourselves, it still doesn't feel like it's going to work -"
"Yes, Baiyun Sang, don't you want us anymore..."
A certain little bird looked up pitifully, and in the blink of an eye, a tearful and pitiful look appeared on his face and he began to act coquettishly. Holding his clothes, he looked like if he dared to say no, he would definitely cry to you in the next second, as if he was a pitiful little beast about to be abandoned.
Baiyunshan suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. He patted a certain little bird on the head as comfort. Then he looked at the nervous and concerned faces and said helplessly: "You are overthinking. Tomorrow really just means tomorrow -"
He sighed and said, "By the way, have you forgotten something? Tomorrow is a coming-of-age ceremony."
...
...
Coming of Age Ceremony or Coming of Age Day.
Neon originated from the important rituals of the Celestial Dynasty and is also one of the festivals. In the future, in 2018, the cabinet government passed the Civil Code Amendment to lower the legal age of majority from 20 to 18 years old. That means you can participate at the age of 18. Now, in 2013, which is still five years away, naturally it will not be held until I am twenty years old.
Since 2000, the date of the coming-of-age ceremony has been changed to Monday of the second week of January every year. On this day, both men and women, as long as they are over twenty years old, need to visit the shrine to thank the gods and ancestors for their blessings and participate in the ceremony. With various gatherings and activities, it can be said to be a very lively day.
And for the little idols of Nogizaka, the meaning is also extraordinary.
Among the adult girls among the members, Iwase Yumiko was too early and had already graduated, while Fukawa Mai was the only one last year, and the new song had not been released yet, so there was no big fanfare for it. Organize activities related to coming-of-age ceremonies.
The two girls participated in a private and normal coming-of-age ceremony by themselves. Although it was a bit more free and cordial, compared to this coming-of-age ceremony, it was undoubtedly a lot less beautiful.
As the girls who need to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony this time, three of the four are now and will be the real backbone of the team in the future. They are among the best in fame and handshakes. Even Mica Eto, who is still under, has shown her charm early on. However, due to the relevant contract and the girl's own reasons, the operation plan is to put under under pressure for the time being, but it is enough to see. Derive future potential.
Such a group of girls can represent the characteristics of today's team and occupy a decisive position. In addition, this is the first batch of members to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony since their debut. If they do not publicize it well, it will obviously not be good for the members or the team operation. It’s all a real waste——
Therefore, fame is a must, and a big fanfare is also a must. It is not only to give face to our own little idols, but also a good opportunity to promote to the outside world. No matter what, we must seize it well.
The heavy responsibility of today's arrangements undoubtedly falls on Baiyunshan's shoulders.
As for why it was him and not his immediate boss Yoshio Konno who took the blame... the reason couldn't be simpler, one word - money.
There is no way, he spent too much——
When Imano Yoshio learned that Baiyunshan had prepared the furisode for the coming-of-age ceremony, his first reaction was undoubtedly relief. He was pleased that this salted fish was actually willing to take the initiative to work. It was really gratifying... ...
The second reaction was surprise. I couldn't help but wonder why he was so active all of a sudden, and even more surprised where he borrowed the furisode. After all, his plan was to find a well-known store in advance to borrow a few sets of high-quality furisode for the girls to wear for the day, for media photoshoots and promotions. Why did this guy borrow it so early? Isn’t this a lot of money——
However, what Baiyunshan said next surprised him.
"I didn't borrow it, Konno-san, I bought it."
"bought?!"
Yoshio Konno's eyes widened. Did he buy it? This is too wasteful! I'm afraid that he might not treat his own daughter as well as he treats these little idols, right? I bought several sets of high-quality furisode in one go. They are only useful for the coming-of-age ceremony. How much does it cost? Is this guy crazy?
He subconsciously stood up from his chair, and his voice became stuttering unconsciously: "Yes, but I look at the quality and size, it doesn't look like it is ordinary... You are where did you buy it?"
Baiyunshan reported a familiar name with a calm expression.
Imano Yoshio gasped.
Next…
It was logical that Baiyun Mountain would be responsible.
