"Hey, stop making trouble." Mai Shiraishi grabbed the collar of the big condor that was still running around in the room, and stopped Nishino Nanase who was chasing her with her other hand. "It's time to go to rehearsal."
Nishino Nanase, who was dressed roughly, stared at the Great Condor, but because Shiraishi Mai was blocking the way, she could only watch.
"Haha! Work, work! Work is the most important thing!" The Great Condor, who was being pulled by the collar, said with a serious face. The second half of the sentence was said while looking at Nishino Nanase.
"Don't let the Keyakizaka members see you like this for a while, it's too embarrassing." Shiraishi Mai complained and loosened her collar.
"Hmph, she still wants to keep up her appearance in front of her little crush, but she can't." Nishino Nanase said sadly.
"You make me sound like a hypocrite..."
"snort."
Nishino Nanase puffed his mouth angrily and turned his face to one side.
Soon, under the guidance of the staff, everyone in Nogizaka came to an empty room, but it looked like it should be stacked with sports equipment, but it was temporarily converted into a rehearsal room. Even the long strip on the wall The floor-to-ceiling mirrors were all temporarily set up.
As soon as I entered the house, the whole room was like a small steamer, very stuffy. In addition, the members were all wearing thick dresses, which made it even more uncomfortable.
"The B version of "Opportunity", dance once."
After entering the room, there were no ink marks. After Sakurai Reika and the members confirmed their dance positions, they each found their positions according to the marked 'meter'.
Nogizaka46 has many songs, and there are different dance versions. Some have changed the movements, and some have been deleted. The song "Opportunity" alone has four versions of the dance, but in fact, before it needs to be danced There will be training, so you don’t have to worry about memorization. Because I forget about it a few days after dancing and practice it again when needed.
They had already started practicing when they were asked to perform in Music Day, and the dance steps were already familiar by heart. This rehearsal was just to allow the members of Keyakizaka46 to get used to it. They had to start from the last verse of the song. When the song started, I came out from the back and sang the last verse with the members of Nogizaka46.
The process was simple, and the members of the two groups had little interaction with each other. The rehearsal went very smoothly. After two or three times, I was able to grasp the timing of the entry very well.
"Okay, come on, gather!"
After several rehearsals, the person in charge of Nogizaka pushed in the door, holding the script in his hand, and clapped his hands to call them together.
Wearing long skirts, all of them look like butterflies, creating a fragrance craze in the already stuffy room.
"This is the script. Sakurai-san and the others will have their problems here for a while. "Opportunity" will be Ogami and Nishino C. You two can discuss it and decide who will say it."
The general manager glanced at the two of them and handed the script to the Great Condor.
After taking the script, the Great Condor looked through it. Since there were many guests, we would not waste a lot of time introducing Nogizaka46. Together with Keyakizaka46, there were only two problems.
What is the relationship between Nogizaka46 and Keyakizaka46?
What kind of group is Keyakizaka46?
The former question is for Nogizaka, and the latter question is for Keyakisaka.
"You tell me."
Without waiting for the Great Condor to speak, Nishino Nanase directly handed over the task of talking to the Great Condor.
"Hey...you've been a center for several times, so practice your talking skills." The Great Condor complained.
Nishino Nanase shook his head, refusing to take on this burden.
"Then come on, there are only a few words anyway, it's all written on it."
The person in charge didn't say anything when he saw this, because as expected, it was definitely the Great Condor, and Nishino Nanase was still a little shy.
"Ah, wait a minute." Da Shenying interrupted, glanced at Saito Asuka not far away, and said: "Although "Opportunity" is my C, can I change it to someone else? It's 15 orders now, how about letting Asuka bring it on."
After saying that, everyone turned their attention to Saito Asuka.
"Eh? Me? No, no, no." Saito Asuka waved his hand quickly.
Generally speaking, the person who talks to the host on the show is the center of the song, or the most influential people in the group. For example, sometimes Rina Ikoma will do it.
"There's nothing wrong with this. You will be the center before the next single is released. Of course, the center must promote it vigorously, otherwise you won't be the most conspicuous person on the album cover. What do you think?"
The Great Eagle looked at the general manager. She was just making a suggestion, and it was the general manager who made the final decision.
"Okay, that's fine. Let's make it that way. I'll go talk to them."
The general agent just thought for a while and then agreed. Before leaving, his eyes stayed on the big condor for a long time.
"Hey..." Saito Asuka still wanted to say something.
"Come on, look at the lyrics. I've memorized them for a while and I have to ask you." The great condor handed the script in his hand to Saito Asuka, "Don't live up to my kindness, if you dare to forget the lyrics. ..”
The Great Condor grabbed Saito Asuka's round little face and didn't say the second half of the sentence, but just hearing the first half was full of strong threats.
Saito Asuka held the script tightly.
=========================================
In the dim hall, the audience was full of people. Only the stage was lit, and two male and one female hosts stood on the stage.
"Let's go live, THE MUSIC DAY, the beginning of summer. Here are the next artists!"
One of the male hosts, Shinichi Hatori, was introducing the upcoming artists.
Music played from the stage speakers, and a group of young girls emerged from the backstage. They were wearing pure white dresses with gold threads on the chest. They were extremely beautiful. They were followed by a bunch of other girls wearing white JK uniforms, but compared to Coming down, the girls in uniform looked very childish.
"Nogizaka46, and Keyakizaka46, please give me your advice!"
The girls from the two teams stood next to the host in the positions they had rehearsed before.
Nogizaka is the closest to the host, standing in two rows, the first row is standing on the left hand of the host, in order: Saito Asuka, Hashimoto Nami, Nishino Nanase, Ogori, Shiraishi Mai and Ikuta Erika .
"Saito-san, what is the relationship between Nogizaka46 and Keyakizaka46?" Sakurai Sho asked directly without wasting time.
"Well... Keyakizaka is the new group in the Sakamichi series after us. To us, Keyakisaka is like a younger sister."
"Ah, I see. Also, Hirate-san is the center of the debut single."
"はい."
"What kind of group is Keyakizaka46?"
"Keyakizaka46 has not yet matured since their debut, so I want to work hard to show their youthfulness and freshness."
"It seems like I said something...Sakarai."
"Yes, it's the Sakamichi series, with such a setting." Saito Asuka added next to him.
"Ah, Sakamichi series, Nogizaka and Keyakizaka."
"Yes."
"Then please go and prepare!"
"Please give me more advice." The two teams on the stage bowed at the same time.
The audience also burst into warm applause.
"Nogizaka46 will participate in a quiz program for high school students..." Another host took advantage of their time to go to the sub-stage to promote a series of subsequent activities for Nogizaka.
On the way to the sub-stage, there was a photographer taking pictures of the idols’ faces.
No matter how new the members of Keyakizaka46 are, they now know they should say hello to the camera, smiling and waving to the camera.
When we get to Nogizaka, the painting style is still the same. Erika Ikuta and Mai Shiraishi are also smiling and nodding towards the camera, but when it comes to the big condor behind Mai Shiraishi, things are a little different.
All I saw was that the Great Condor looked at the camera with a smile, but one hand was placed on Nishino Nanase's chin, pinching Nishino Nanase's collagen-filled face. It was very cute, like a little puffer fish.
Nishino Nanase wanted to knock off the big condor's hand, but since the camera was still filming it, he couldn't be so rude, so he had to let the big condor play with it as he pleased.
