"Mai Shiraishi!"

"The above is Nogizaka's first single, everyone who entered the selection!"

When the MC of "Where is Nogizaka" said this cruel sentence, the 16 girls standing in the studio all cried.

More than that, crying with joy ...

At the same time, the girls who sat in the lounge and couldn't hear their names were all sorted.

The face is like ashes, crying bitterly, there is no love in life...

In the silent lounge, all kinds of expressions appeared on the faces of this group of girls whose names were uniformly called "losers".

In the picture, the atmosphere in the lounge is in stark contrast to the atmosphere in the studio.

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was holding his hands on his chest, stood in the studio, looking at the girls who were hugging each other and bursting into tears, and he also showed a relieved expression.

"Finally, is it going to begin... ”

This is in a studio at TV Asahi.

From the "banana man" in the camera and the girls of Nogizaka, you can know that the program that is going on now is the recording site of "Where is Nogizaka" one day a week!

At the recording site of the show, the proposal to announce the list of singles was proposed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

As the only channel for Nogizaka to meet fans and audiences, the show "Where is Nogizaka" is the most suitable place to do things.

My own family's group, and it's also in the "ally" TV Asahi, and many projects that are not suitable for other programs can be presented to the audience here.

It's like the live broadcast of the single selection list will be one of the features of the show "Where is Nogizaka".

Major announcements about Nogizaka will be announced here as soon as possible.

In this way, the audience can see the most real reactions of the girls, as well as the interweaving of laughter and tears.

For the audience, it is of great help to understand the real side of these girls.

However, for the first time, it's always impressive...

。。。。。。

Without any warning, the maidens go through a brutal ordeal.

Out of 29 people, 16 were selected and became members of the selection for their debut single!

Some people are happy and some are sad, no matter how the girls pray in their hearts, hoping that they can be one of the 16 people, the final selection list is still released.

Center, there are no dark horses or unexpected candidates, on the contrary, it is not surprising.

Even, even the selection of the Seven Lucky Gods has not changed in any way.

That's right, considering the popularity and fame in the early stage, as well as the appointment of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a 19-year-old, super beautiful girl from Gunma Prefecture, Mai Shiraishi, has indisputably become the first generation of Sony's new idol girl group, Nogizaka 46!

And the seven people standing at the front, representing the "Seven Lucky Gods" of Nogizaka's façade, are exactly the same as the Seven Lucky Gods determined two months ago!

Mai Shiraishi, Nanami Hashimoto, Sayuri Matsumura, Rina Ikoma, Erika Ikuta, Nanase Nishino, Minami Hoshino!

These seven people constitute the strongest seven people in the debut single!

There are Mai Shiraishi + Nanami Hashimoto + Nami Matsumura, who are called "Imperial Three Families" by fans, and there are also three Loli known as "Ikusaixing", Rina Ikoma + Erika Ikuta + Minami Hoshino, plus a "Notuan girlfriend" Nanase Nishino.

Such a lineup is almost the strongest lineup in the early stage of Nogizaka!

Kiyoshi Sakamoto also considered that at this time when AKB was at its peak, if Nogizaka's strongest lineup was not brought out and the sales of the debut singles could be higher, then shouting the slogan "AKB formula opponent" would become a big joke.

Although it will still be pressed to the ground by AKB and rubbed hard,,But,It's not so ugly...

After all, the initial sales of AKB's singles have been made many times in a row since "Everyday, カチューシャ", and they have achieved the great cause of millions of sales.

Even if Nogizaka has Sony as a backer, and with the blessing of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, in the context of today's bleak physical CD market, it is already very good that the debut single can sell 200,000.

200,000 is compared with millions of people, how can you be embarrassed to say "opponent".

Therefore, even if it is to increase tens of thousands of copies, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is trying his best to use all the means he can, hoping to increase the sales of Nogizaka's singles to a certain extent.

And taking out the strongest seven people in Nogizaka is also one of the means.

However, seeing the girls who were crying and hugging in the studio at this time, Chiba Masaki standing next to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, was also a little distressed.

"Although the announcement process is a bit cruel, I have to say that the effect of such a show is still very good. ”

As he spoke, Chiba Masaki also turned his head to look at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had a calm face, and suddenly, he seemed to see the figure of a fat man with black-rimmed glasses.

He turned his head again and looked at the center that had been appointed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

At this time, Mai Shiraishi, who was selected as the center, was holding back tears while her eyes were red, comforting Sayuri Matsumura, who was already crying in tears.

Seeing this, the uneasiness in Chiba Masaki's heart also dissipated a little.

At least, Mai Shiraishi has much more support for the people around her than she does for Atsuko Maeda in the early days than she does for the people around her.

In fact, when deciding on the candidate for the center, Chiba Masaki once proposed that Ikuta Erika or Ikoma Rina be the center of Nogizaka.

He has learned a lot from Akimoto Yasu's side, and he seems to feel that the person who stands in the position of the center cannot be too dazzling or too prominent.

If you choose Mai Shiraishi, this girl will only block the light of others and will not be conducive to the development of the entire regiment.

Even, it is not impossible to become "Mai Shiraishi's Nogizaka" or "Mai Shiraishi and her friends".

After all, the example of Airi Suzuki and °C-ute is also a lesson from the past...

So, like Yasu Akimoto, he took a fancy to Rina Ikoma, a girl who was around the average for everything.

And Erika Ikuta is his plan B.

However, it was only under Kiyoshi Sakamoto's explanation that he reluctantly accepted this decision.

Now, it seems, he began to believe.

Maybe Mai Shiraishi as the center, than Rina Ikoma as the center, is more in line with the concept of "instant combat power" of this regiment.

Thinking of this, when Chiba Masaki looked at Sakamoto Kiyoshi again, he found that there was nothing on that man's body that was the same as Yasuya Akimoto!

At this time, he suddenly understood.

"Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it's not Yasu Akimoto!"

"And Nogizaka, it won't be AKB!"
