"10!"
"9!"
"8!"
"7!"
"6!"
"5!"
"4!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"0!"
Under the countdown of the big screen and all the fans present, some clips were played on the screen, including some shots of Ikoma Rina, and the appearance of captain Sakurai Reika, as well as the popular Nishino Nanase and Shiraishi Mai, Nana Hashimoto and others, combined with the piano solo in the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata, created a different kind of beauty.
"Nogizaka46 Documentary will be released nationwide in May."
"oh!"
This documentary, which has been filmed for several months and involves nearly ten members, is finally about to be released, but that is not the point. Next, the music suddenly started playing.
“Thank you everyone for the encore!”
Someone shouted something from the speaker, and then all the members ran up. They were all wearing black 3rd anniversary T-shirts with a colored jacket outside. The most outrageous thing was that the uniforms for the encore session required them to wear shorts. skirt.
Encore means that after the performance, including concerts, concerts and other performances, after the singers, players and other performers have finished their performance, the audience appreciates the performance and hopes that the performers can return to the stage to continue the performance.
"ちょっと,好き,好き,好きよ!"
"だけど,まだ,まだ,まだよ!"
"あのね女の子はみんなcautiousなの~"
The members ran onto the stage, jumping up and down, waving to the fans below, and singing while running. Although it was an encore, it could be seen that it had been rehearsed. Mai Shiraishi, Nana Hashimoto and others took the stage. The cart shuttles between the audience, and the Great Condor is no exception. As the lucky gods of the eleventh single, she and Hori Mina were lucky enough to get on the cart together instead of running wildly on the stage.
It was already the end of the concert, but the enthusiasm in the venue did not diminish at all. Rina Ikoma still acted as the call master, mobilizing the audience's cheers from time to time.
After performing three songs in a row, it was also the middle of the MC session. Here, I first asked a few members to talk about their thoughts on hosting such a large LIVE for the first time, and then continued to announce that the 16-person stage show may have to be postponed, and there will be new shows on the stage. , it can be regarded as a semi-publication session.
At this time, the Great Condor and Hori Mina walked into the group of second-generation students, and she stood quietly between Terada Ranyo and Sasaki Kotoko.
Sasaki Kotoko glanced at her with a little doubt in her eyes. According to the schedule, the Great Condor would have a song to perform in a while. The MC session was also meant to give her time to change clothes. What was she doing here now? However, since it was the MC session and everyone had their microphones turned on, she was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she didn't speak.
"Dong dong dong dong~"
"Ah, here we go again." "What what?"
At this time, the picture on the big screen turned and the sound sounded again.
"Ito Junna."
"Oh?" "Huh?"
"Kotoko Sasaki."
"oh."
"Ayane Suzuki."
"Terada Ranyo."
"Yamazaki Reina."
"Watanabe blurred love."
"To contact the above graduate student members, these six members will be promoted to official members today, please take care of them."
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Before the narrator finished speaking, the sound system at the scene was full of screams. The two people around the Great Condor covered their mouths in disbelief. After thinking about it for a while, they realized that it was true. They turned around and threw themselves on the shoulders of the Great Condor. started crying.
No matter how noisy they were, the Great Condor could still feel the two people sobbing hard. The Great Condor naturally hugged the two of them, one on the left and the other on the right.
She was very happy, even if this matter had nothing to do with her, but at least, these six second-term students who were in the same period as the Great Condor were finally promoted from graduate students, which meant that they had the opportunity to gain exposure. Being on the show meant not to mention They have a place in the selection group, even the UNDER group.
What kind of life did they live before? They had nothing to do all day long. Apart from live rehearsals, occasional recordings of "Nogiten", and regular vocal and dance training, they were just like ordinary students, earning pitiful wages. When the Great Condor and Sasaki Kotoko lived together, they were obviously two extremes. The Great Condor couldn't say that he had something to do every day, but at least he had to participate in group activities about five days a week.
As for Sasaki Kotoko, she was at home when the Great Condor left, and she was still at home when she came back. Did she not work hard enough? Are the second-year students not working hard enough? Not necessarily.
"Come on, six of us, come to the middle." Rina Ikoma greeted them. "Lan Shi, how are you? How you feel now."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I cry all the time. I'm so sorry..."
Terada Ranyo stood in the middle, wiping tears constantly. His speaking voice was like a spring, trembling, and one word could play eight tunes.
"Well... I have always felt that I have not been recognized. The other second-term students have been promoted, which is very sad. But... today, I have been promoted. Well... I really feel very happy. Thank you everyone. .”
"oh!"
The fans in the audience also expressed their support wildly.
However, there was no part about the Great Condor in the entire MC session. She just stood silently with Horina, looking at the six people in the middle who were crying with joy, and they were happy together.
Next, they also sang a song "13th Day". Now it was really coming to the end and it was time to reveal the new song.
Nogizaka46's eleventh single, "Mingmeimei".
"Released on March 18th, Nogizaka's new single." said the screen, and flashed back some pictures.
Immediately afterwards, the words '明は美しい' appeared on it.
The beautiful piano sound suddenly sounded, and the originally dark stage was lit up with pink and purple lights, shining on the 28 people on the stage. They were wearing white and purple dresses, but they were not traditional and elegant dresses, but looked... A different kind of impactful clothing.
Everyone covered their chests with their hands, and as the music rose and fell, their limbs began to dance as if they were asleep, right hand, left hand, right leg, left leg, and the whole body.
After a falling key, the music instantly changed its style and became intense.
"月の雫をに愿けて..."
Today is the first time this song has been revealed, but the fans present were right at the beginning when they called the song.
"Fate is beautiful,
初めて気づいた日から~”
Soon, the chorus part was also mentioned. As the climax of the song, it is naturally also the most intense part of the dance. As if to highlight the beauty of the song, under the camera, every time the members sang a line, they would let out a breath of white air.
In fact, Nogizaka's usual lyrics have nothing to do with the team's progress, but if you add the seasoning of Bunshun last October, you will find that this song has a different charm.
A lonely leaf carries dewdrops on its back
A gust of wind blows through the leaves and trembles
Let go of your hands. You will be relieved if you let go.
But why don't you hold on to it?
What's the meaning of the matter? Now that things have come to this, I ask you what you want.
Hedu heard that you didn't say a word and the sky didn't say a word.
The sky is empty, the darkness is dark, and there is only silence and darkness.
The lonely leaf in the opening paragraph is a symbol of both Matsumura and Nodan's state of mind at that time. "It's clear that you will be free if you let go, but why do you hold on tight?" This is not only Matsumura's inner monologue. Matsumura announced at the big thank-you ceremony at the end of 2014 that he would not graduate, but he still persisted; it is also a torture of Nodan, who clearly cut off Just drop this piece of rotten flesh, why should you hold on to her tightly? The last sentence "silence and darkness" not only refers to the sinister external environment at that time, but also implies the "cold response" of other members of the group to Matsumura.
Entering the main song, the first lyrics point out the theme, "No matter how distressed you are now, the night will eventually usher in the dawn." Then the transitional lyrics reveal the key sentence:
Life is so tenacious
この世に生まれてからPerhaps this is the design given to us by God
No matter what kind of trauma you get
Tachibana Kamikata will recover one day
We have already agreed
People are restrained and will not abandon anyone
It's just one person, one person, one person, just like this, everyone is together
Meet our respective futures in the future
It is precisely because of the Bunshun incident that these lyrics are no longer cliches and empty words, where the singers are moaning and complaining about new lyrics, but are heavy, because the members of Nogizaka are also in adversity and are suffering from pressure and pain. , but they still adhered to the path of idols and did not give up easily.
What it sings about is Naituan’s situation at the moment.
The song was played section by section, and their dancing bodies never stopped. There was a short piano solo in the middle, maybe to give the members a breather, or maybe it was a specially created transition section, but this was the calm before the storm. .
The lineup of the members who were originally in a circle changed again. Mai Shiraishi, Nanase Nishino, and Nana Hashimoto walked behind everyone. There was a square in the middle to go to Xiaowutai, and the three of them stood up. Back to back.
The intensive drum beat sounded like a chase scene in a horror movie, which was exciting.
"Fate is beautiful,
初めて気づいた日から~”
The chorus is still the same, but the stage special effects are obviously different. There are more green laser lights of Good Endo, and the area where the three of them are standing also slowly rises, lifting the three of them to a certain height, above everyone else. The three of them are the most dazzling at this time.
Mai Shiraishi, Nami Hashimoto, Nanase Nishino.
