Chapter 41: First Sight of Nogizaka

Time flies quickly when you get busy, and on January 19, 12, the AKB Group's first big event of the year begins.

This year's song ranking concert was held at the City Theater of Tokyo Dome like the previous Red and White Song Party, and on the first day of the concert, He Yue and his teammates from the thirteenth phase performed two songs together, and Guang Zongxun's attention was still bursting, and the workload was much higher than He Yue's.

Compared with idle work, He Yue is more interested in people and things in the background.

At half past seven in the morning, she came to the performance venue with the thirteenth students, and at eight o'clock, the members gathered on the stage, and Takahashi Minami greeted the staff on behalf of everyone.

Then the rehearsal begins.

Most of the time on the stage is the figure of TOP members such as Maeda Oshima, of course, the young members are not without opportunities, such as Reina Kato, who is still a graduate student, appeared on the stage to sing "FIRSTLOVE" by the original member Meina Ono, and in addition, the three members of the thirteenth period, Yurina Takashima, Aki Murayama and Haruna Hasegawa had the honor to sing "Nagisa CHERRY" with Atsuko Maeda.

In fact, there is a small change here, in the history of the man He Yue, the position of Yurina Takashima was originally Yurina Aigasa, but this time, the candidate changed from Yurina Aigasa to Yurina Takashima.

But He Yue himself didn't notice this trivial thing.

After the rehearsal of the three thirteen students and Maeda, the girls are called together, and then they are taken by the agent to a group of girls in plaid skirts.

The girls were confused, only He Yue stared at the crowd.

She knew these girls all too well.

"We are Nogizaka 46......"

"We are AKB48 13th graduate students......"

He Yue was a little strange, why did the agent bring them over to say hello before the show started? Their thirteenth phase students and Nogizaka's enrollment time are very similar, but there are many differences between the two, the thirteenth phase students have AKB's huge rice group as the backing, and there are super graduate students like Komun Kaoru, in terms of first-mover advantage, the thirteenth phase students far surpass Nogizaka.

But Nogizaka has the backing of SONY and AKS, and unlike the successor of the thirteenth phase, Nogizaka is a pioneer, and the successor can indeed inherit a lot of things but it is also difficult to surpass the predecessors, and the pioneer can overcome obstacles and make his own way.

"There may be a lot of cooperation and exchanges between you in the future, and there is still about half an hour before the official opening, so take this opportunity to get to know each other. The agent left after dropping this sentence, leaving Nogizaka and a total of thirty-two girls in the thirteenth phase looking at each other.

In the end, the first to break the awkward atmosphere was Kaoru Mitsumune.

"Nogizaka-san...... Is this the first stage reveal today?"

"Yes, so please don't use honorifics on us, we are the descendants of our predecessors!" said Rina Ikoma with difficulty.

Standing in the back, He Yue could see that Ikoma might faint if she was nervous, this short-haired girl from Akita was completely different from the two short-haired members of the thirteenth phase in terms of temperament, Guangzong Kaoru's aura, He Yue's straight sense of masculinity allowed them to easily control communication, but Ikoma was not a natural character who was very suitable for communicating with others, and now pushing her directly to the forefront is also a huge reluctance and challenge for her.

He Yue walked up.

"Hello, in fact, when it comes to debut, you guys are earlier than us, and I watch that show on Tokyo TV every week!" she said curiously.

"Really?!thank you!" said the girls excitedly.

"I shouted thank you, but in my heart, I must think that I was being polite, right?" He Yue asked.

"No, no, no, of course not!" the girls hastened to deny.

"By the way, what about Asuka, I'll push Asuka-chan Saito!" He Yue asked.

"Asuka-chan!" the girls quickly pushed Asuka Saito out of the back.

"The face is really small!" He Yue praised.

The girl in front of her is a year younger than herself, and she is a junior high school student, young and shy, and her eyes are timid, like a newborn fawn.

"You...... Hello, I'm Asuka Saito......" the girl whispered.

Now she occupies the youngest name in Nogizaka 46, but she is very low in terms of popularity and team sequence, and she even fell out of the selection group in the next few singles.

Moreover, the current Saito Asuka is still in the period of disguising himself and trying to be a traditional idol, and only He Yue knows among the people present that the real Saito Asuka is not what it is now.

"Asuka-chan, let's take a photo!" He Yue took out his mobile phone.

"Ah...... Okay!" Asuka Saito approached.

He Yue turned his body to face the thirteenth student, and held the camera high and approached Saito Asuka's side.

Then, she glanced at Kaoru Komune.

It is worthy of Guangzong Xun, who is quite smart, and has also cooperated with He Yue a lot in maintaining the morale and relationship of the thirteenth students in the past two months, and He Yue's glance, she immediately understood.

"He Yue, your face is too big, isn't it! The bird sauce in the camera is almost squeezed out by you! The rules of near and far and small can't save you!" Guang Zongxun complained.

In fact, He Yue's face is not big at all, girls who dare to be on TV, their faces are not big, even if Nogizaka Akimoto Masatsu, who is busy with his studies now, his head is not big at all in reality, and the camera, whether it is TV or the picture presented under the camera, will change people's perception of size.

But people can't be compared with each other, and in front of Asuka Saito, any ordinary girl's head will look huge.

He Yue was waiting for Guangzong Kaoru's words.

"Can you blame me for this!? I'm not convinced that you can come over and take a look!Hey, you must not like standing next to the birds when you take pictures in the group, right?!" He Yue turned his head and asked the member of Nogizaka beside him.

"Yes, yes!" the girls forgot their nervousness for a moment and nodded yes.

The bird on the side put his hand in front of him and waved it slightly, denying it in vain.

He Yue's gags with Kotsu Kaoru worked well, and the girls on both sides finally relaxed, Kotsu Kaoru found Nanami Hashimoto to take a photo, and Murayama Aki also got to the side of Ikuta Erika that she was interested in, and the girls on both sides gradually communicated.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Nogizaka's agent came over and took the girls to the stage to prepare, today was their first stage, and it was also the front seat performance on the RH stage today.

The lights in the auditorium dimmed, the cheers of the meal rang out, and the AKB48 Group's first performance of 2012 was about to begin.

First up are the members of Nogizaka.

Maybe He Yue's words really had an effect before going on stage, and now Nogizaka seems to be more relaxed than He Yue remembers, of course, there is still tension, He Yue on the side of the stage can see that many girls' legs are shaking.

The audience is also very gentle, and now AKB48 is at its peak, and with AKB's status and popularity, the fans are very welcoming to newcomers.

The legendary boos in the eyes of some people who don't know the truth? Maybe there is, but it's only one or two out of three or four thousand people.
