"Be obedient at home and help your mother with the housework. Also, if you break up with that little girlfriend of yours, don't make your father angry. Do you hear me? Don't let me go back and beat you. Hang up."
The Great Condor leaned on the wall of the corridor outside the house, listening to the call from his scratched flip phone with many white marks. It was a call from home. Every few days, his mother Ye Xin would call him to express concern. I care about my daughter who is far away in the metropolis of Tokyo.
And as she talked, she told everyone in her family, from her mother to her father, from her father to her younger brother Ryouya, to her second younger brother Ryouta. The one who worried her the most was her father, who was relatively weak, and the two others. Even though the naughty brother warned them this time, it probably didn't do much good.
"Alas..." The Great Condor sighed deeply.
Turning around and pushing open the door, the dormitory room for the two of them was very small. The entrance to the bedroom was only two or three meters away. The bedroom and living room were together. Two beds were on both sides of the wall, and a TV was hung opposite the bed. on the wall, and the bathroom and toilet were next to Shinuchi Mai, that is, in the direction of the entrance. The Great Eagle walked through the entrance and came to the bedroom, where Shinuchi Mai was writing something on the table.
"Wheat balls."
"Um?"
"It's time to train, it's almost time." The Great Condor returned to the bed and put on a shirt with suitably loose sweatpants. Although the two people have not known each other for a long time, no matter who you live with every day, the relationship will be very good in two or three months, so it is common for the two of them to change clothes in person.
"Okay, wait for me for a moment..." Shinuchi Mai said, her hand speeding up a bit, and she finished writing the last few words. "Let's go."
The shared accommodation plan mentioned before is a shared accommodation, but for the two of them, there is no difference from usual times. The location is still Nogizaka Building, but other people have also moved in. The tentative plan is to start from mid-June. Until the beginning of July, there was a total of twenty days, and they had to train every day. There were fifteen songs in total before the six singles. They all had to learn the dances. At least some of the mainstream ones they had to memorize, plus vocal exercises and daily acting. Their courses are full of idol training.
Compared with the two or three intense classes per week before, although they now have classes every day, they also have plenty of rest time.
After finishing practice in the morning, Shinuchi Mai and Ogori went back to their room to rest for a while, and happened to receive a call from their mother at home.
"Knock knock. Lan Lan, it's time to go." The Great Condor and Shinuchi Mai walked to the next room and knocked on the door. It was the room of Terada Ranyo and Ito Junna. The two were assigned together because of the amount of exercise in the morning. It was so huge that almost everyone chose to go back to the house and lie down for a while, while the Great Condor and the others were responsible for calling other people to train.
"Hi, here we come!" "OK!" came the response from the two people in the room.
"Then let's go call the others. Hurry up and don't keep the teacher waiting." The Great Condor continued to shout inside.
The two people continued to knock on the next door, one after another, and everyone called out. After waiting for a while, a group of people walked into the practice room. In the practice room, Ryoko Saikyoji must have been waiting for a long time. Seeing them When I arrived, I put down my mobile phone, stood up from the floor, stretched my stiff body, and told them to stand up quickly.
"Here, let's try the "おいでシャンプー" that we practiced yesterday and see how much you remember." Saigyouji Ryoko turned on the stereo.
"おいでシャンプー" is a song selected from Nogizaka46's second single. The whole song is relaxed and happy, and the dance is also very simple. The previous songs and dances are not difficult, so they mastered it quickly, but they forgot I learned the dance very quickly. Most of the people who learned the dance on the first day were a little stuck when they danced again on the second day.
"One two, one two, one two..."
As the music played, they also jumped, and Ryoko Saikyoji in front clapped her hands to beat them.
"Very good, the eagle's smile is very nice." Saigyouji Ryoko saw the great eagle smiling happily, and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. After all, for idols, there is no harm in smiling.
In fact, the Great Condor was not smiling at all. She almost burst out laughing. She really couldn’t figure out why this kind of dance happened. It was nothing when she danced at first, until Shinnai Mai told her while chatting one night. A mouthful.
"Have you seen The Human Centipede?"
The Great Condor knew that it was a horror movie. Even though it was a horror movie, when she thought about it, they looked like centipedes, hugging the waist of the person in front of them while dancing. Their funny postures made her laugh every time. While dancing this dance, looking at them connected together in the floor-to-ceiling mirror opposite, the Great Condor couldn't help but laugh.
The Great Condor smiles beautifully, like an iceberg snow lotus blooming. It is beautiful and charming, and even if it smiles too fiercely and cannot control the facial expression, it is still very touching, just like Mai Shiraishi, who was born in the same group. , the appearance is good, and the expression does not fall off no matter what.
Of course, except for Takayama Ichimi next door, she is obviously very beautiful, but she is very broken when she smiles.
The position they are practicing now, the Great Condor is the one on the far right in the first row, which is the end of the 'Human Centipede'. This dance is simple and easy to learn. The one before her is Hori Mina. The Great Condor has always felt that Hori Mina is this The girls are pretty good in every aspect. Although the dance moves are a bit terrible, she is quite accomplished in vocal music, her singing is very nice, she is pretty, and her temperament is one of the most tolerant among girls.
There is one thing, every time Hori Mina hears something that makes her laugh, the whole lounge can make that magical voice, like a wretched uncle, which most people can't imitate.
"OK OK, not bad. Then let's go to what we just practiced this morning, "Uniform Doll"." Not long after the last song, Ryoko Saikyoji asked them to rest for a while and then continued to contact them.
The song "Uniform Doll" is the first slightly difficult song they have encountered since this stay together. It has many more body movements than the previous ones, and there are also many movements that require sticking points, unlike the previous ones. For some songs, just sing them slowly and slowly. The dance moves are very cool, and everyone was very excited to learn it. After all, this can be regarded as a masterpiece of Nogizaka46.
"Not bad. Mayi and Junna's movements are very standard. If Takashi uses more force, he will be so soft."
The dance movements and vocal skills of the Great Condor have always been at the middle level among the second-generation students. They are neither above nor below, mediocre. Compared with Hori Mina and others, they are indeed a bit inferior, but compared with the following two people, they are still better. On many.
"Stop." Saigyouji Ryoko paused the music, and everyone stopped what they had just done, their hands staying where they were at a loss.
"Kotoko Sasaki, Hinako Kitano, do you two not know how to dance or are you not dancing seriously? If you don't know, come and ask me or others. If you don't want to dance seriously, I advise you to quit the group and go home."
