Chapter 25, The Troubled Girls
Kenji Kitagawa walked into Yasuya Akimoto's office under the watchful eyes of the staff, and shortly after he entered, Tomonobu Togasaki, the director of the theater, also entered.
The Staff could hear Togasaki's angry voice coming from inside from time to time.
Then there was silence for a while, and finally, Kenji Kitagawa pushed the door open and walked out of the office, with sarcasm in his eyes and a helpless wry smile on the corner of his mouth.
Ignore the staff next to you.,I won't say hello to them as usual.。
"Let's make it. Trying to restrain his politeness, the staff gave way to him, and he made his way through the crowd and left.
After he left, Togasaki Tomonobu paced to show his figure, and he was a little sluggish in the past, but he still put on what he thought he was smiling in front of the staff, although his smile was deliberate and weak in the eyes of others.
"Let's go to our respective positions, it's just Sony talking to us about the next year's album releases, don't think about it that much. He shouted and gave this explanation, and the staff were also driven to work by him.
"Alas......" After the staff left, Togasaki Tomonobu sighed.
The time for the termination has been determined, and the first day of the album's release after the end of the red and white period is also the official termination time.
Sony officially left the AKB48 behind.
This also means that if AKB wants to release a single in the future, it can only be released underground or through online distribution, unless it can find the next record company that is willing to take over.
He turned around, and in the office, Akimoto Yasusu was sitting inside, his brows furrowed, one hand supporting his arms, and the other covering his mouth, falling into a state of thought.
Togasaki Tomonobu carefully closed the door without making a sound.
Yasu Akimoto, it's up to you next......
He pleaded in his heart for the man sitting inside.
He is the only one who can bring the dead back to life.
Thinking so, he suddenly slammed his fist into the surrounding pink and white wall, and the red fist was painful and violently afferent to the nerves.
"What an abomination!" he growled.
At this moment, he is also complaining, complaining about his own powerlessness, complaining about Yasushi Wata's inaction, and complaining about Sony's ruthless termination of the contract.
After a meal, his mood calmed down.
"What am I doing here?!" Togasaki Tonobu, who had calmed down, realized that he was wrong, and hurriedly shook his head and straightened his clothes, and he was like his old father, kind and smiling.
……
Mayu Watanabe felt that the atmosphere in the theater today was a little strange.
After the performance, she was still the same, playing with her companions in the backstage dressing room.
"Wow, Yuki, don't pinch my face. Yuki Kashiwagi still pinched her little face as usual, and due to her height, she was hit in the center every time, and she had no ability to fight back.
The other members did the same, looking at magazines, playing game consoles, and playing with each other, so harmonious.
Recently, she and Yuki Kashiwagi are both busier members of TeamB, compared to other members, they can only brush the theater, because she and Yuki Kashiwagi have signed a contract, and the office has also given them a lot of resources and arranged for them to go to many crews as supporting roles.
Although it's all late-night dramas, she basically won't watch it, every time it's one or two o'clock or something, it's really a test of her will, will she fall asleep?
Fortunately, recently, the boss of her office, that is, her friend, refers to Rino Hara's brother, who is going to make a TV series!
It's still the continuous Galileo.,She likes to read it so much.,Compared to the white night walk or something that looks very depressing.,She prefers this kind of light-hearted and interesting novel.,Especially the interaction between Kusanagi and Yukawa in it.。
She and Yuki Kashiwagi heard that they were also arranged, and they would play a supporting role in a certain episode of it, and their agent, Miss Shindo, said so to them.
It's amazing!
Her mother agreed with this, just because the starring role was Masaharu Fukuyama, and she told her that she must ask for an autograph to come back, and if you don't get there, don't go back to Watanabe's house!
Hey, I'm your own daughter, and that's how you fired me???
But then again, she still cares more about her boss than Masaharu Fukuyama.
It's so mysterious!
The famous genius writer Uesugi, the owner of her office, is now a producer filming TV series, and he is also handsome, has a good temperament, and is very gentle...... No, no, what was I thinking?!
Mayou shook her head hurriedly, she remembered that at that time, when she was sent home, Takujiu gave her a scene of touching her head, in the past, she was very disgusted with others touching her head, and she always felt like a child, but Takuhisa's hand seemed to have magic power, and she couldn't forget the feeling of being touched for a long time, so comfortable.
She is just like the kitten who led the family when she used to pet her head in school, she is docile, cute, and even has developed a habit.
The family cat would be waiting for her at the door every time she went out, and only after she touched her head did she purr and leap around nimbly like a stuntman.
Huh? Why are you thinking about it again if you don't want to?,It seems that I've read too many shoujo comics recently...... Introspection and introspection......
Outside the complicated inner world of Mayou, a girl with a double ponytail walked in.
"Aijia, what's wrong, look at your sad face?" a member asked her.
She is Aika Tada, born in 94, the same age, she used to be a pistachio, but she is depressed today.
She didn't seem to want to say it, but in the eyes of the members, she still said what she had just heard.
“AKB…… Possible...... It may be disbanded!" she wept and began to weep.
"What's wrong?"
"Is it true?"
"Where did you hear that?"
……
Some members held her up, while others asked her about the source.
"I listen...... What the staff are saying...... And...... And the seniors are also circulating......" After she finished speaking, she fell on the chest of the other young lady and cried.
Shocked.
"I'll go outside and ask. Seeing this, Yuki Kashiwagi hurriedly pulled Mayu Watanabe and took the initiative to break the deadlock.
"Well, please. The elder Kazumi Urano said that although she was also shocked when she was born in 85, she decided to appease the members first.
……
Out of the dressing room, the corridor seemed much more deserted, and with a cold wind, the cypress couldn't help but shiver.
There is no staff who can be seen everywhere on the road, and there is no one on the road, and Kashiwagi is holding Mayu's hand and moving forward slowly.
"Now, Yuki ......" Mayu suddenly spoke.
"Well, what's wrong?" Kashiwagi turned around.
"Is what Aijia said true?" Mayou was a little convinced of what Tada Aijia said, otherwise why didn't he even see a staff member after walking for a long time?
It's so perverse.
Kashiwagi stopped.
"Don't worry, Mayou. She touched Mayou's young cheek, and her jade-white little finger touched the skin that could be broken by blowing, "It won't be so bad......"
It won't be that bad...... Even if AKB is gone, she has signed a contract with the firm...... Although it would be a pity not to be an idol......
"Well, if Mr. Akimoto Yasushi is here, it will be fine!" Maybe it was just a lack of comfort, Mayu immediately cheered up and didn't fall into confusion.
"That's what you're talking about. Kashiwagi smiled bitterly, she was just not afraid because she had a way back......
"Yuki, Mayu?"
"Huh?" Kashiwagi turned his head, and a beautiful girl with long black hair walked over, still wearing a beautiful singing costume.
"Yuko!" Mayu saw her and immediately exclaimed excitedly.
The person who came was Yuko Oshima, a second-year student of AKB, who was transferred to the Ota office with Reina Ono and Atsuko Maeda in the same period, and was a sociable and reliable person.
Yuki Kashiwagi Watanabe and other third-term students have a pretty good relationship with her.
"Why are you two here?" she asked, trotting over.
Kashiwagi busily told her why.
"......I see," she nodded, her eyes solemn, "I don't know, so let's go ask A-chan." ”
Because of the same firm, although it is in the first and second periods, she has a very good relationship with Atsuko Maeda.
"Hmm. The two nodded, and now they can't find staff, and it's a good choice to go to the seniors.
Under the leadership of Yuko Oshima, the two went to the room where the first student was.
Compared to the noisy and chaotic room where the third-term students were, the first-term students were orderly, and there was a sound of chattering, but there was no worry about AKB disbanding.
At the beginning, when the news came, some of the first-term students were panicked, but the members who had been in the AKB for two years were much more mature than the third-term students who had only been in the AKB for less than a year, and the crisis was temporarily suppressed by the reassurance of the leading center Atsuko Maeda and the attention of Minami Takahashi.
"A-chan!" Yuko Oshima called out to Atsuko Maeda at the door, and many of the girls inside turned their heads and retracted their heads when they saw that it was not staff.
"Yuko, what's wrong?" Maeda walked out, noticing that there were two other members next to her, and she said politely, "Hello." ”
Mayu and Yuki also responded politely.
"Actually......" Yuko Oshima roughly explained the situation to Maeda, and Maeda frowned after hearing this, "Is there no staff here?"
"No, I didn't see a staff member on the road. Mayou shook his head.
"I don't know if it's true or not, but if AKB is really going to be disbanded, I think Akimoto-sensei will definitely tell us. So don't worry about it now, just be yourself. Maeda patted Mayu on the shoulder, she has adapted to her status and can comfort her juniors very well.
Maeda was right. A deep voice came from behind.
"Daddy!" Maeda said excitedly, and it was Tomonobu Togasaki, who had been called "Daddy" by the members.
"Well, Maeda, you've done a good job, and you're worthy of being the center handpicked by Mr. Akimoto. Togasaki first praised Atsuko Maeda.
"Some staff like to talk nonsense, and I've called them all over and scolded them, so don't worry too much. Togasaki said.
"I see. ”
"Well, so don't panic yet, you think, AKB is about to be red and white, how can it be disbanded?" said Togasaki with a smile.
"Yes. The girls suddenly realized.
But it's hard to say whether it will be disbanded after the red and white, this is what Togazaki didn't say, but he pressed it in his mouth.
He is the ruler of the theater, and he has an obligation to ensure the stability of the theater, and it is also his dereliction of duty to let such news get out.
The staff who ran the train were also scolded by him and rushed back to Shiba Kotaro.
