However, no one else except the maiden alone discovered the secret.

Therefore, she had no choice but to bury the doubts in her heart deep in her heart, waiting for the day when she could ask him face to face...

The selection process continues.

The self-presentation of sixty-seven girls is not the same, but a thousand postures.

Some girls, like Asuka Saito, who is only 13 years old this year, just hold the microphone and stand on the stage, and their whole bodies tremble slightly with nervousness. . .

Some girls, like Hana Nakata, performed quite well in the self-introduction stage, and spoke in an orderly manner, but once they entered the judges' question session, they couldn't react a little, and when they answered, they waited for a while for "um" and "uh" before they reluctantly answered.

However, some girls are eye-catching.

Just like Erika Ikuta, a girl who is full of confidence and has participated in musicals and movies, is very calm and atmospheric, so that many reporters present feel that this girl's potential is very good.

Of course, Mai Shiraishi, Nanase Nishino, and Nanami Hashimoto, who have been trained at SMA for more than two years, also belong to this category.

He spoke clearly, answered generously, and looked confident.

It's just that when Nanase Nishino spoke, his tone was soft, and he still exposed his soft girl's side.

Compared with Nishino, who was dressed as a bad sister when she participated in the final trial in her previous life, in this life, she had Sakamoto Kiyoshi intervening in advance, which allowed her to find her makeup and character design as early as possible, and also made her take many detours.

At the very least, the "pigeons" of Nishino in this period were a lot whiter, and they were not as vulnerable as they were in the early days. . .

The final review lasted nearly an hour and a half, neither long nor short.

Under the watchful eyes of the media, the final censorship of Nogizaka Ichisheng is over.

The girls were taken back to the break room by the staff.

And then, all they can do is pray.

Compared with the nervousness of the girls, the judges sitting on the judges' bench were very light.

While reviewing, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is also on the list, scribbling and drawing.

Until the end of the audition, his list was already full of inky black handwriting.

Nogizaka's selection, in the final analysis, is still decided by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the chief producer, who has the opportunity to become a member of the new idol girl group that Sony is trying to create.

He has this power, and he has this identity and status.

Therefore, after discussing with Chiba Masaki and Kitagawa Kenji, the list of those who passed the first phase of Nogizaka was soon released!

The time used was not an hour in the previous life, but half an hour.

After half an hour, the girls who had changed into a set of uniforms and had stiff expressions returned to the venue again.

The flashing lights on the scene continued, and the hearts of the girls added a sense of tension and hope.

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto took the microphone and came to the focus of the spotlight, on the stage.

"Before I announce the winners, I would like to say a few words to you. ”

After saying this, Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not continue, but paused for a moment, and swept towards the girls in the audience one by one with his eyes.

His face, which was full of anticipation, nervousness, and uneasiness, gradually became much more stable under his deep gaze full of tenderness.

Just then, he smiled.

"Perhaps, one of you will not be chosen, and maybe, after today, some of you will regret it. ”

But please don't be discouraged, and don't feel that life is so cruel. Don't feel like it's a useless experience. ”

"A selection will not bleak your life full of infinite possibilities. No matter where you are, on which stage, you are your own heroes, as long as you keep going, I believe that we will meet again sooner or later!"

"What's more, I will always remember this day, you who worked hard!"

"So, all of you, keep up the good work!"

Sakamoto Kiyoshi's words may not be filled with a lot of chicken soup, and there is not much truth.

However, because the people on the stage and the people off the stage are about the same age, the comforting words have deeply entered the hearts of the girls.

The sixty-seven girls in the audience, with their own thoughts, all focused on the man on the stage, waiting for the moment when fate came.

"Now, let's get started! Whoever reads the name, please come to the stage. ”

"One, Mai Shiraishi!"

Mai Shiraishi, who was standing under the stage, had already known such a result.

However, still, the moment she heard Kiyoshi Sakamoto shout her name, she still felt as if she had collapsed, soft.

Maybe it was a second, maybe it was two seconds, and she quickly adjusted her mentality, took confident steps, and walked onto the stage.

"Four, Mai Fukagawa!"

One name after another, from the mouth of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, kept popping up.

The girl whose name was shouted naturally showed expressions of joy, relaxation, etc., and even cried with joy, but only those girls who were not called by their names would feel the unwillingness and sadness in their hearts.

It turns out that this is what it feels like to fail...

On the list of eligibility, the changes that have appeared are a bit big.

In addition to Yoshimoto Ayaka and Yamamoto Hono Guo, the two girls who belong to other firms, including the girls who entered the qualified list in their previous lives, but did not help the development of the group, have all been defeated.

Such as Yamato Rina, Iwase Yumiko, Miyazawa Nariyo, Ando Miun, Kashiwa Yukina and others, or girls who will have scandals in the future, or are too old, or don't have much sense of existence, all of them were crossed out by Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

So much so that out of 67 girls, only 29 were read by name...

This number, of course, has no special significance.

It's just that Chiba Masaki, who has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, looks very unpleasant, and keeps muttering, "Why can't you make up 30 of them... ”

Faced with his friend's complaints, Sakamoto Kiyoshi directly ignored it, and complained in his heart: "Is this something that can be made up if you want to?!"

After the winners are announced, all those who pass will stand on the stage and take a photo of the winners.

When the girls stood on the stage and were baptized by the flashing lights, there was only one thought in their hearts:

It's glaring!

And standing under the stage, quietly looking at the girls on the stage, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who didn't say a word, was not very calm in his heart at this time.

"I announce, Nogizaka, starting today, the establishment of !!"
