Ten o'clock in the morning.

The selection meeting, which was led by SMA Operations Director Kiyoshi Sakamoto and judged by Masaharu Fukuyama and Takuya Kimura, officially kicked off with the first group of contestants lining up into the venue.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto was still sitting in his seat leisurely, chatting with Masaharu Fukuyama and Takuya Kimura next to him

And when he saw that one by one the contestants with number plates on their chests walked into the venue one by one, they immediately sat up straight, crossed their hands, put them on the table, and began to look at the ten people standing on the stage with a serious expression that did not smile.

Start with a quick tour from left to right.

The first one is a young boy with a Masata's face.

According to visual inspection, his height is not very tall, only about 1.6 meters.

However, when Sakamoto Kiyoshi lowered his head and looked at the information about the boy in his hand, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Imamura Akira, 14 years old, 162 tall, specialty is singing, dancing... ”

Although this selection meeting was held to hype up a wave of SMA's reputation, by the way, it recruited a group of potential newcomers to enrich SMA's weak family background.

However, from the very beginning, Kiyoshi Sakamoto did not think about lowering the bar.

In his opinion, SMA's strategy of implementing artists in the future will only be an elite strategy, and quality is greater than quantity.

Therefore, in this selection meeting, he adhered to the idea of preferring shortage to excess, and made selection.

From this young man who is "Imamura Bright", it can be seen that the selection of SMA still strictly follows his ideas and selects.

The age of 14 means that this teenager has great possibilities.

Age is an advantage, which is recognized in every country.

The height of 162 is already very good at this age.

It is important to know that boys generally develop later than girls, and the period of skyrocketing height is generally during the development period of 15-16 years old.

And this teenager reached 162 at the age of 14, so if nothing else, in the next few years, at least he will be able to grow to more than 175.

With such a height, coupled with the fact that he can give seventy points of appearance, even in Janiss' JR, it is a good seedling.

Of course, he probably has much fewer weapons than JR.

Singing, dancing?

This is a mixed entertainment industry, and the basic skills are not a specialty at all.

After all, who wouldn't hum a few words these days.

If you really sing well, that's okay.

However, can you expect a 14-year-old boy to have any singing skills?

He's not reborn.,Blessed by God.,And Sakamoto Kiyoshi who was taught by Masaharu Fukuyama.。。。

After looking at the first participant, Shota, Sakamoto Kiyoshi continued to the right of the contestant queue and looked over.

The second, the third, the fourth...

The eighth.

"Huh?!"

When he saw the two very familiar figures standing beside the eighth contestant, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's eyes instantly widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

Fortunately, there is a microphone in front of the judges, but if you don't press it, you won't be able to put the sound in.

Therefore, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's exclamation was only heard by Masaharu Fukuyama and Takuya Kimura, who were sitting on either side of him.

"Kiyoshi, what's wrong?" asked Masaharu Fukuyama, confused.

"Uh, no... Nothing. ”

After dealing with Masaharu Fukuyama, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's eyes have been on No. 9 and No. 10 at the end of the contestant queue.

Nana Hashimoto didn't see his surprised gaze, and didn't mean to dodge at all, but made a grimace at Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"This idiot ... Kiyoshi Sakamoto smiled bitterly.

Fortunately, the lights on the stage are just gathered in the center.

The contestants are standing in the shadow at the back of the stage.

Therefore, except for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who recognized her, almost no one noticed her small movements.

But!

This does not include the Osaka girl who stood beside her, Nanase Nishino.

"Hmm?Does Hashimoto-san know Sakamoto-kun?!" The observant girl suddenly flashed a possibility in her mind.

On the other side, the two girls who suddenly appeared in the selection venue made Sakamoto Kiyoshi's originally calm heart shake.

"Why are they here?" muttered Kiyoshi Sakamoto as he flipped through the contestants' profiles on his desktop.

Soon, he found the last two of the ten pieces of information in the first group.

"Nanami Hashimoto!"

"And... Nanase Nishino!"

Looking at the photos posted on these two documents, Sakamoto Kiyoshi suddenly felt that his skull hurt a little.

With a turn of his mind, Kiyoshi Sakamoto quickly thought of the reason why the two of them appeared here.

Very simple.

The two people who didn't know each other both signed up for SMA's audition meeting.

Not only that, but the two people on each side of the world have passed the initial review and the second review, and entered the third review where they can meet with the judges!!

This magical fact really made Sakamoto Kiyoshi feel a little crying and laughing.

"These two guys, deliberately hiding from me, want to give me a scare?!" while complaining, while the two of them hid their own sign-up moves, Sakamoto Kiyoshi also sighed about this situation, "The world is so small... ”

He is very sure that the two TOPs of Nogizaka 46 in the future have not intersected at all before!

However, this SMA audition hosted by Kiyoshi Sakamoto brought together the two people who only met two years later.

I have to say that Kiyoshi Sakamoto has changed the world more and more.

。。。

Although the appearance of Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino surprised Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Still, he concentrated and continued to focus on the scrutiny.

After all, as a judge, he has a very heavy task today.

The process of review is as follows:

First, they came to the center of the stage one by one, held the microphone, and introduced themselves in a wave.

Then there will be a talent show.

Finally, it is to accept questions from the three judges.

The first to bear the brunt is none other than Shota "Imamura Bright", who is in first place.

"Hello everyone, I'm Imamura Bright from Kanagawa Prefecture, 14 years old this year, and my specialty is... ”

Within half an hour, the first six contestants were all in front of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the three of them, and they introduced themselves and performed a talent show.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Masaharu Fukuyama, and Takuya Kimura are also watching very seriously, asking questions from time to time.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, in particular, is still holding a pen and scribbling on the materials from time to time, as if he is taking notes.

And the performance of these contestants during the review was either nervous, or pretending to be calm, or calm.

However, it is a pity for Kiyoshi Sakamoto that among the first six contestants, there is no face that makes him feel familiar.

In other words, these people are not all the artists with names and surnames that he had in his previous life.

In other words, these people, with the same resources, may not be able to become famous artists!

This adds a bit of uncertainty.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto quickly cheered up and comforted himself.

"This is the 1st group, and there are 29 groups, so there's no hurry... ”
