"Let's be more relaxed on the show for a while. Don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing, and don't be afraid of being left alone. We are both here."
In the lounge of the Nogizaka Building, Bananaman, Yuki Himura and Toto Shitara, who are the resident MCs of the show, are giving simple guidance to the new second-generation students in the lounge. The twelve people will definitely be familiar with it for the first time on the show. Nervous, afraid to speak, and tied up, but what the show wants is to laugh, and for this reason live performance is very important in the show. However, due to Japan's strict hierarchical system, generally few people can let go and express themselves on the show.
However, their comedy world relies on making jokes and adding jokes to create laughter. They don't care about this. The first-term students have been doing the show for a long time and can talk freely, but the second-term students are completely novices.
Himura Yuki sat on the sofa and talked to them.
"Well, these are all our own programs and we edit them ourselves, so relax." Shitara Tong said on the side.
The Great Condor and the others nodded repeatedly. Although they listened, they would not dare to be so presumptuous if it was serious.
"Okay, then get ready and see you later." After Shitara Tong and Himura Yuki finished their instructions, they stood up and prepared to leave.
"Thank you." They thanked them together.
After they walked out of the lounge, Da Shenying and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They must know that the person who just spoke to them is a powerful person in the comedy world. If they accidentally say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing... and generally It seems that they went to Bananaman's lounge to say hello, since they are juniors, but I don't know why Bananaman took the initiative to visit this time.
"Bananaman-san...it's different from what I imagined." Horimina was the first to break the silence.
"Yeah, I thought they would be more lively." Da Shenying replied. Originally, her understanding of the Banana People was limited to when they were recording the show. In front of the camera, they would do their best to create laughter. , but behind the camera, like other middle-aged people, he is mature and steady.
"But it's pretty good for us."
"Of course, after all, he is Nogizaka's official brother."
"That's right."
"So nervous..."
"By the way, whose clothes are you wearing?" Sagara Iori looked at the Great Condor.
The topic changed quite quickly.
"This, I remember it belongs to Nishino Nanase-san, right?" The Great Condor stretched his clothes and said.
The company did not customize a set of clothing for them, so they still wore the uniforms that the first-term students wore at the beginning, beige sweaters and white shirts, paired with short skirts.
"Hey, Nishino-san, I really liked her when I saw her before. She's soft and waxy, so cute."
"My clothes seem to be from Ikuta Erika-san. There are oil stains on them..."
"It's okay, my body is still a little tight."
They started complaining about the clothes they were assigned again. The Great Condor looked at the clothes she was wearing. They were very clean. Except for some hooks in some places, they were no different from the new ones. This improved her first impression of Nishino Nanase a lot. At least she was a girl who loved to be clean. .
'Hmm...there's still a smell. 'The great condor lifted up his collar and smelled it.
Soon, they were called to the studio to start recording the show, and the staff asked them to stand behind the decorations.
"When Himura-san finishes speaking, you can just come out. Remember to say hello to the camera, and then take your seats in order, okay?"
The staff instructed before starting filming.
"OK!" They also made an OK gesture. They didn't speak this time, just waiting quietly for the filming to start.
"Dang! Then, "Where's Nogizaka" has started. The host is Banana Man. Please take care of me." It was still the same as what they saw before, Shitara System started.
"Good evening, please take care of me." Himura Yuki also said.
"Then everyone from Nogizaka...ah, Himura." Shitara looked at the seats on the left. No one was there. "Here they are, they are finally showing off together."
"Well, where is Nogizaka?"
"Hahaha."
"Actually, that's not the case." Shitara crossed his arms.
"Is not it?"
"Of course that's not the case, Himura, today's plan," Shitara said with a change of tone, "please explain it in a pure newcomer style."
"OK, new addition! The second generation of Nogizaka46 appears!" Yuki Himura amused many staff members with his slightly exaggerated body movements.
Everyone applauded on and off the stage.
"Well, it's finally here."
"yes."
"Sa, I'd like to invite the second generation students from Nogizaka46!"
As Shitakutou finished speaking, Watanabe Miriai stood first and walked out first, followed by Ayane Suzuki, followed by Shinuchi Mayi, Yamazaki Reina, Sasaki Kotoko and the others, and the Great Condor followed at the end. noodle.
"Ah, I always feel very quiet." Shitara Tong said, looking at the second-term students who came out with bows and smiles, "but I will definitely reveal my true colors slowly in the future."
"Those second-generation students, that's all. From now on, we have to work hard as graduate students, such as entering the selection and recording "Where's Nogizaka"?"
"yes."
"Everyone, please give me your advice in the future." Shitara Tong greeted first.
"Please give me your advice." They bowed in return.
"Then, let's start quickly." Shitara rubbed his palms, "Is this the first time for everyone to be on camera?"
"Hi."
"Basically, I have zero experience on camera. Although it's understandable to be nervous, there are still a lot of people watching down there."
The photographers in the audience looked at them with smiles, and the nervousness of the second-year students was relieved by the Shitara system. They covered their mouths and smiled.
"Don't arouse hatred for Nogizaka from the moment you get here." Shitara Tong said suddenly and fiercely.
"Hey, these are Nogizaka, okay!" Himura Yuki stood up and said as if he was trying to start a fight. "These are all Nogizaka members. But think about it, don't bring trouble, you guys!"
"Hey, hey, don't let the two of you cheat together."
The staff in the audience laughed happily, but the second-year students on the stage were having a hard time holding it in. They wanted to laugh out loud but didn't dare, so they had to cover their mouths and laugh secretly.
The next step was to introduce themselves one by one as they had planned. The first was Karin Ito, who had the greater say, and then Junna Ito.
The Great Condor watched silently from the last row. On the surface, he was expressionless and calm, but in his heart, he was in a state of turmoil. After all, this was going to be on TV, and he might even be able to see it at home.
There was also a section where stunts were shown. The Great Condor felt that many people's stunts were a bit embarrassing, especially Kitano Hinako's bare-handed tearing of a magazine and Hori Mina's high-speed blinking.
However, the stunt of ripping magazines with bare hands is not mixed with anything. The Great Condor has seen Kitano Rinako accidentally break her chopsticks while eating. She broke them with her hands, not on purpose.
"Great Condor?"
Finally, her name was called.
"Hi."
"Eagle, that's a pretty cool name, very masculine."
The great condor nodded.
"The youngest second-generation student?"
"Hi, I am thirteen years old and born in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido." The Great Condor said, but compared to others, the Great Condor's expression was a little too calm.
"Thirteen years old, so young. Asahikawa City is in the same city as Hashimoto?" Shitara Tong seemed to have discovered something interesting.
"It's the same as Aya Suzuki. Aya Suzuki is from the same hometown as Ikoma." Yuki Himura looked at Aya Suzuki, whom he had introduced before.
"Thirteen years old, ah, he looks very mature. You can't tell that he is only thirteen years old." Shitatsu touched his chin.
"Hey, you call someone old when they come up to you for the first time?"
"No, it's just, hey, how should I put it, she's very beautiful, but not the cute kind."
"Thank you." The Great Condor quickly thanked her after hearing the compliment.
"This hair is very long. You are the girl with the longest hair I have ever seen. How long is it?" Himura Yuki was a little shocked when he saw the long hair of the great condor.
"I haven't measured it carefully, but it's probably around the buttocks." The Great Condor stood up and could indeed see that his hair had been hanging down to his buttocks. He had to lift his hair up when he returned to his seat, otherwise he would sit down.
"Well...is there anything unhappy?"
"No."
"Then, why do you look so unhappy? Your whole face feels so cold." Shitatsu wanted to laugh.
The second-term student next to him gave him a 'right? ' with a look in his eyes, and then looked at the expressionless Great Condor and laughed. Next to him, Terada Ranyo even touched the Great Condor's shoulder.
In fact, it's not that the Great Condor doesn't want to smile. The key is that he is too nervous, and his facial expressions are a little out of control and tense.
"Himura, you know who I'm thinking of."
"who?"
"Mai Shiraishi at the beginning."
"Ah, yes, this expression is just like hers. It's such a scary expression."
"No...no, I'm just too nervous." Even though she said this, she didn't laugh.
"Let's see... His special skills are that he can play music with leaves, he can speak three languages, and he can also write continuous calligraphy?"
"No way, so many? So powerful?" Himura Yuki and Shitara Toto were both a little shocked. If they knew how to play two or three musical instruments, they would still be able to accept it, but she knew these three incomparable skills. This is a bit scary.
"Hi." The Great Condor answered briefly.
"By the way, you are a mixed race like Asuka Saito, right?" Shitara Tong asked after seeing that the Great Condor was a mixed race in the information after seeing that he could speak three languages.
"Hi, my father is Japanese and my mother is Chinese."
"Oh~ Well, I can't find the leaves at the moment. Can you introduce yourself in three languages?" Shitara Tong said. Originally, there was no plan in the script for the Great Condor to demonstrate the skill of blowing leaves.
"Okay, cough." The Great Condor straightened his body and cleared his throat.
"The Great Condor of the Private World. 13 years old, born in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido."
My name is Great Condor, I am thirteen years old and I was born in Asahikawa City, Hokkaido. Please take good care of me.
Hi guys, My name is Okami taka and I'm 13 years old. I was born in Asahikawa, Hokkaido.”
Three languages, with standard accents, no foreigners would hear anything strange if you pick out any one paragraph.
"Oh! It's amazing!" Shitara Tong was the first to applaud. He originally thought that the personal device was installed by force, but he didn't expect it to happen.
After all, many idols pretend to be born abroad and can speak foreign languages, but the English they speak is more Japanese than the two uncles.
"Well, even though I don't understand the Chinese, I can definitely hear the English accent. It's amazing." Himura also praised from the side.
"you flatter me."
"Pfft, what the hell are you getting an award for? Why do you talk like an uncle?" It seemed that something about Shitara Tong's laughter was poked. He couldn't help laughing, and continued: "It's awesome, three languages, then This, calligraphy, can you show me? There is paper and pen here."
In fact, Japanese calligraphy is Chinese brush calligraphy, and most of them just write squarely. There are very few who are truly like Chinese calligraphy masters. The Great Condor cannot write brush calligraphy, and the ones with special skills can write Chinese. That’s all.
Shitara tore off a piece of paper from the notebook she placed on the table, took out a pen and placed it on the edge of the table. The Great Condor also got off her seat, and a photographer next to her followed her up.
The Great Condor picked up the gel pen and drew a few strokes to find a feeling. Then he quickly and gracefully wrote two lines of beautiful connected characters on the paper.
Shi Letong, Hicun Yongji.
Although there are only two names, the skill of the calligraphy is enough to show that it is powerful and elegant, and it does not look like the characters were written just for practice.
"It's amazing! It's amazing!" Yuki Himura sighed as he looked at the words on the paper. He picked it up and faced the camera, taking a good picture of it.
"Himura."
"Um?"
"Do you feel that your more than 40 years of life have been in vain?" Shitaku smiled mischievously.
"Yeah...Hey, no, it's the same for you, isn't it?"
After saying a few words casually, the recording of the program was finished here. The Great Condor was in a daze for the whole show, and his brain was so tense that he forgot what he had done.
