After receiving the notification from the staff, the girls were called to the conference room where they had just been selected.
"Please take a line according to your own number, and the person whose name will be called will stand on the platform in front of you. The staff member said with the microphone.
The time to decide the fate of the girl has finally come, and now, it is also the most tense moment for these girls today, and many people have clenched their hands and waited for the announcement.
"No. 2, Rina Ikoma, please come up this step. ”
Rina Ikoma was first taken aback when she heard her name, the expression on her face was first a flash of surprise, and then her face was full of incredulity, she heard it right, she was chosen? Really? Before Ikoma could react, he was urged by the staff to go to the stage.
"No. 8, Chiharu Saito. No. 9, Ikuta Erika No. 10, Ito Nininin. No. 11, Reika Sakurai. No. 12, Marika Ito, No. 13, Sayuri Inoue, No. 14, Misai Eto, No. 15 Akimoto Masatsu,......" The names on the list were called to the stage one by one, and these girls were the ones chosen by fate.
At this time, Ikuta Erika stood on the stage full of anticipation, she was happy from the bottom of her heart, this is the stage she has been looking forward to, and now she finally has a chance, she won it herself, and she didn't rely on anyone.
"People on the stage should be careful not to stand too crowded. The staff member who announced the results said, "Let's continue, No. 17, Takayama Ichimi...... Yuri Saito...... Mai Shiraishi, Nana Hashimoto...... Mai Fukagawa, Yumi Wakatsuki, Nanase Nishino...... Sayuri Matsumura...... Kawago-Yangcai ...... Hana Nakata ...... "There are more and more people on the stage, and the number of people who are called is getting lower and lower, and it will be over soon."
"The above are the members selected by Nogizaka 46 this time. After reading the last name, the host announced the final conclusion of the selection, and the girls in the audience began to cry, they knew that they had not been selected and had no chance.
There were also many girls on the stage who cried, but they were all tears of laughter, tears of joy. The staff told the girls on the stage to go to the back and change into Nogizaka's uniform, and there will be a shooting event later.
"I didn't make it to Nogizaka 46 this time, please don't be discouraged, it's a good experience, you can come here, you've proven yourself, but you can't stand on this stage, isn't there something missing?。 and the people on the stage, where is there a little less, I hope everyone can think about it when they go back. If you still want to join our team, then please don't give up on yourself, please continue to work hard to enrich yourself, and when we come out with such a selection activity in the future, please be sure to participate. One of the judges who participated in the final review picked up the microphone and said to the people in the audience.
The atmosphere has obviously improved, and the girls who were not selected left the venue and the building one after another, and there were boxed lunches prepared for them by the staff at the door, but few people went to pick them up.
In the preparation room, the girls changed into Nogizaka's uniform, that is, the ordinary school uniform, the style of the aristocratic style, and at this moment, a female staff member came in to inform the girls that it was time to shoot.
On the stage, the first-term students of Nogizaka stood in formation according to the arrangement. Countless flashes are shining, countless cameras are pointing at themselves, at this moment, many girls have tears in their eyes, what a lucky and happy thing it is to be able to really be selected.
"We are, Nogizaka 46. Facing the camera, the girls shouted out the slogans prepared in advance, and then greeted them with a smile, the first students of Nogizaka are them.
"OK, it's over~" staff San said that the filming was over, and the girls were taken back to the preparation room in the back, and after a while, the person in charge of Nogizaka would come to meet them, and now they can take a break and not be so nervous.
In the room, there are still people who can't control the tears flowing down, and some girls are very emotional, which naturally becomes the laughing point of the girls who have stopped crying, and in just a few minutes, the girls have their new friends.
Someone started taking out their phones and informing friends and family of the good news. Erika Ikuta also took out her mobile phone and dialed her mother's phone number. "Uh-huh, uh-huh. Having successfully passed the selection, well, I'll pay attention to it myself. Oh, mom, don't talk about the piano, I'll do it well, it's not easy for you to promise me to buy me a new piano, I won't give up the piano, I'll do it well. Well, let's go home in the evening and talk to my dad in detail. Erika Ikuta carefully told her mother the good news.
Mai Shiraishi, who was behind Ikuta, was also calling her sister: "I thought I wasn't selected, and I thought to myself how could I lose the election, but I still got selected, it took so much time, it's really annoying." That's right, you can go home in the evening, right, and I'll talk to you when I get home, it's not much use for Mom and Dad to talk to them. Mai Shiraishi looked disdainful, and it seemed that the long wait had made her feel terrible.
Seeing that everyone around her was on the phone, Rina Ikoma also wanted to call home, but she didn't know how to say the good news, in fact, she was the most nervous person, and she still hadn't gotten out of the shock of being chosen.
Ikuta, who had already successfully reported the good news to his family, saw Rina Ikoma take out her mobile phone and hesitated, so she hurriedly urged her to report the good news to her family as well. Finally, Rina Ikoma made up her mind and called home.
"Hey, is anyone home, please? "Oh, it's Rina, how is the selection going?" "Grandpa?!" Ikoma Rina was taken aback, not expecting that it would be her grandfather who would answer the call. "Your dad went to work, your mom and your grandma went shopping, and now I'm at home, how is it, about the selection," Ikoma's grandfather asked on the other end of the phone. "Thanks to my grandparents, my parents' concern, I have been successfully selected as the first student of Nogizaka 46, and I will work hard. The boy said confidently. "My granddaughter said how could she not be selected. Grandpa said confidently, and Ikoma was a little embarrassed. "Rina, you have to remember that you are a descendant of Ikoma Kinmasa-sama, who served Oda Nobunaga, and is the most famous person in our Ikoma family. Although the latter things happened, our branch fell to the Lost Island Domain, but never forget the glory of our ancestors, and we are their descendants, we are different from ordinary people, we have to work harder than others, and take things around us more seriously......" Grandpa began his earnest teachings again, these words Ikoma Rina I don't know how many times since I was a child, but Ikoma has never been bored, he respects his grandfather very much, and he also admires his ancestor Qinmasa. "Okay, okay, I'll do it, I'll try, grandpa. Ikoma said seriously. "Hehe, I've said so much, run far, run far, by the way, when will your group be on TV?" Grandpa asked. "It should be tomorrow, right?" Ikoma asked Ikuta Erika next to her, and Ikuta said she didn't know. "Then tomorrow, it should be tomorrow. Ikoma said to his grandfather with a smile. Grandpa also smiled on the phone: "Okay, if you are on TV, I will inform the whole family to watch it, your mother is back and now she wants to talk to you." After saying that, he gave the phone to Ikoma's mother. "Hey, Mom, I'm passing!" Ikoma smiled happily and told his mother the good news again, and then his mother told him to pay attention to safety or something in his daily life for a long time, and Ikoma was reluctant to hang up the phone.
At the same time, Nanami Hashimoto, who was sitting in the corner, seemed very quiet, and it was certainly worth being happy to pass the selection, but now she no longer has the excitement of being selected. Just now she asked the staff next to her, and she also prepared a boxed lunch for everyone today, so she can take it away when she leaves, or she can go and eat it now. Seeing that everyone else in the room was talking and laughing, she was too embarrassed to take it and eat it now, so she had to wait until she left. She hadn't eaten since the morning until now, and now she was a little dizzy from hunger, so she kept holding her stomach and sat quietly in the corner.
After another ten minutes, the door of the room was pushed open, and several people came in from outside, and the members quickly stood up and stood there respectfully, these people, that is, those judges, and Yasu Akimoto was among them.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate you on being selected as a first-term student of Nogizaka 46, and I hope that you will take this opportunity to work harder and persevere, and cherish this hard-won opportunity. The purpose of building this group is to try more possibilities on the basis of AKB, and then to surpass AKB, never forget your dreams, but also to believe in yourself, believe in us, and hope that everyone can achieve their dreams. In a few short sentences, many people have remembered the teachings that Yasu Akimoto gave to the members, and all the first-term students bowed deeply to Yasushi Akimoto.
"Beichuan, you and I come out. Yasu Akimoto said to the other person who came in.
"Yes. The man answered and followed Akimoto out.
"Well, let's introduce you to the rest of us. A middle-aged man said, "My name is Yoshio Konno, and I am the person in charge of the Nogizaka Management Committee. After speaking, he pointed to a young man next to him and said, "His name is Nango Yui, and he is an advisor to the Nogizaka Management Committee, so you can also look for him if you have anything." After saying that, Nango Yui also bowed to the first-term students, and the members also bowed in fear.
"And this "Yoshio Konno looked at the other side" his name is Toshiryo Muramatsu, and he is the boss of all the artists under our Sony Music Management, and our artists from Nogizaka 46, that is, your current people, are now under his control. After speaking, he smiled, "He's also my boss." The members smiled embarrassedly and bowed in Muramatsu's direction, and Muramatsu nodded.
"And the person who went out with Mr. Akimoto just now, called Kenji Kitagawa, is the person in charge of the release of our Nogizaka records. Konno added.
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, please come to this SME building, members from other places, or members who don't want to live at home, please bring your luggage tomorrow, we will plan and arrange the accommodation of the members, and whether you want to become a member of our Nogizaka, you need to sign the relevant contract, this is the last chance you can choose to give up, once you sign the contract tomorrow, you are destined to move forward on this road. After hearing this, everyone nodded, and no one would choose to give up.
"That's all for today, please stay safe on the way back. Now, dissolve. After saying that, the staff left the room one after another, and the girls began to change their clothes and pack their things to go back.
Nana Hashimoto quickly changed her clothes, went to find the staff who sent the lunch, and after receiving her own lunch, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left the SME building. On the way, Nanami Hashimoto looked at the lunch box in his hand and smiled contentedly.
Time went back to just now, Yasuya Akimoto called out Kenji Kitagawa and hurriedly took him outside.
"What's the matter, Mr. Akimoto. Kitagawa asked.
"Over there in the theater, it's a little troublesome, you and I can go there. Akimoto said: "You can call them in a moment and tell them that the original afternoon meeting will be changed to eight o'clock in the evening, so they will say a little bit of the situation to be dealt with, and they will have a meeting in the evening to discuss the relevant issues of Nogizaka 46." ”
"Okay, Akimoto-sensei. Kenji Kitagawa responded.
