"Hey, so, our TEAM has arrived at Nihonbashi Station, and we will start this plan to dominate the entire Tokyo Metro station from Nihonbashi Station!"
Seeing the camera in front change its lights, Mai Shiraishi, standing in the middle, told the camera about today's plan. Because they are divided into four teams, their team may not be edited at what time, so the opening remarks are relatively templated.
"Yeah!~" The others clapped their hands and cheered.
"Today we have a very important prop, a promotional poster for the 11th single. We will post the poster at various stations in Tokyo."
Shiraishi Mai said and looked at Eto Mica beside her.
"That's right."
"Originally, it seemed like I was going to hold a poster in my hand, but... Ito-san? He prepared a tube for each of us." Mai Shiraishi gestured.
"This." Micai Weito turned around, revealing the long black drawing tube on her back.
"Yes, it's very convenient. Let's get started. If it's Nihonbashi Station, let's go to the station master's office first."
As the team leader, Shiraishi Mai naturally had to take on the responsibility of leading the way. Most people wouldn't want to know where the station master's office was, so she asked a staff member on the platform to ask before taking everyone in the direction of the station master's office.
The webmaster's office was in an office area of Nihonbashi Station. The passage was very narrow, and they lined up in a long line to get in. It was a bit difficult for the photographer to follow behind with the machine on his shoulder.
"Ah, good morning."
Shiraishi Mai was the first to enter the room and saw the webmaster sitting behind the desk and said hello. Then everyone who entered was greeted.
"Good morning." The stationmaster quickly stood up and stood by the wall to return greetings.
"Hello, we are..." Shiraishi Mai paused deliberately.
"Nogizaka46." Everyone said together.
"I know, I got the message."
"Hai, please give me more advice this time." Shiraishi Mai bowed slightly.
"Please give me more advice." The other members also said.
"I am doing the same, please give me some advice."
"Then we'll give you the poster?"
"Yeah, okay."
"Misa." Shiraishi Mai gestured to Eto Mica next to her.
Eto Micai was responsible for the promotion of Nihonbashi Station. It was just a poster, but it was still placed in the drawing tube. Eto Micai took off the drawing tube from her shoulder.
"Please wait a moment." Micai Eto said softly, "How do I open this..."
"It says OPEN here." Akimoto Manatsu looked at one end and said.
Several people gradually gathered around and began to think about how to open the blueprint tube. The Great Condor took a look from behind and expressed that it was strange. This thing can be pulled out, not unscrewed, and it has no mechanism. Why do we still need to study it? But with several first-generation seniors standing there, she felt there was no need for her to speak.
"Let me take a look." Shiraishi Mai also started to study it.
"Huh? Look at it like this." Kawamura Mayo sat on the sofa and stood on the ground holding the drawing tube.
"Um?"
Shiraishi Mai tentatively stuck the obviously thicker lid on top and pulled it up.
"Boom~" the drawing tube made a sound and was finally opened.
"Oh~!!!" Several people gathered together exclaimed, mixed with happiness and enlightenment.
'This...this group...' The Great Condor looked surprised from behind. She couldn't believe that the people in front were in their twenties.
This group takes jujube pills.
But it was finally opened. According to the planning regulations, Mica Eto had to sign the poster and leave a sentence for publicity. In other words, this poster of Mica Eto in Nihonbashi is the only one in the world. A huge, autographed poster.
"Please." Micai Eto picked up the poster and handed it to the webmaster with both hands.
"はい."
The webmaster also took it with both hands and showed it to the camera in a very camera-like manner.
Coming out of the station master's office, the subway station that I thought was crowded before now feels very spacious. Just now, the big condor and the few second-term students who were in the station master's office couldn't get in. If I squeeze in again, the small station master's office will be full of space. It exploded.
"Then let's go next... Let me think about it, Hongo 3-chome, Ochanomizu, Awaji Town... we also have Tokyo Station, right?" Shiraishi Mai counted with her fingers and asked around her Mica Eto.
"Well, if I remember correctly, it should be Taka-chan's." Micai Eto stood a little forward and looked at the big condor on the far left.
"はい."
"Yoshi, let's go to Tokyo Station first and buy tickets first."
A group of people bought a one-day ticket for the Tokyo Metro, which costs 600 yen per person. They can freely ride on all Tokyo Metro lines within the first 24 hours.
Taking the Tokyo subway may seem like a daily routine, but it is a rare thing for a country girl like Ocondor. Although she has been in Japan for about two years, she has rarely come down because her daily travel is either for work or the company sends a car. Or just hanging out with friends and walking.
Asahikawa has a train station, but no subway station, and even if all the people at Asahikawa Station are added together, it is estimated that there is not as much traffic as the daily traffic at Tokyo Subway Station.
The Great Condor walked around the Tokyo subway station. It was a stab in the ass and an eye-opener.
I took the 'one-day ticket' I received from Mai Shiraishi and checked the tickets at the ticket gate. Unlike the human ticket check at the train station in Asahikawa, the Tokyo Metro has set up automatic ticket gates long ago, and it is different from the old-fashioned ticket gates in Asahikawa. Asahikawa's ticket checking machine is blocked by three iron rods, and it is also ticket-taking. The automatic ticket checking machine in Tokyo subway station is not only colorful, but also automatically monitors the ticket checking, which saves the time of waiting for the ticket.
"Dip~"
"Oh~! Awesome." The Great Condor sighed involuntarily as he looked at the small ticket in his hand.
"What's so awesome? Come over quickly, it will be closed in a moment." Terada Ranyo from behind pushed her.
"oh oh."
It wasn't that far from Nihombashi Station to Tokyo Station on the ground, but they couldn't go in vain after buying all the tickets, so they simply took the subway there.
Speaking of the subway, there are steps, so...
"Ah! やべー(Oops)!"
