"We at Nogizaka 46 are scheduled to perform on stage on January 19, 2012 at the AKB Relive Time Best Track 100 2012 concert as our first official performance. Yoshio Konno came to the practice room in the morning and announced to the members of Nogizaka.

"Hey, we're Nogizaka...... Are you going to perform on the AKB stage......" Everyone was shocked by the news, they thought it was incredible, and they were all whispering.

"Yes, this is Akimoto-san's arrangement, I hope everyone can cheer up, this time we will go to other people's places to do a performance, we must do our best to perform, so that everyone can see your efforts. Yoshio Konno said.

"Well, are you all going?" asked Miya Edo with a raised hand.

"Yes, everyone is going to go, but the people who officially perform on stage, only everyone in the selection group, needs to sing our debut single. Yoshio Konno said.

"I see, that's ......," said Misai Eto, who understood what it meant.

"Everyone is a member of Nogizaka, even if you can't all perform on stage this time, I hope the other members of you are also ready, because if the members of the selection team can't play for some special unexpected reasons, you need other people to make up for it, everyone is a group of people, everyone who doesn't fall behind, cheer each other up, encourage each other, even if some members can only watch from the backstage, it is meaningful, everyone is a part of Nogizaka, and everyone is an indispensable force. Yoshio Konno added.

"Yes, we will try. The crowd nodded instructively.

"Ikoma, as the center of our Nogizaka, we must work hard!" "Yoshio Konno specially told Ikoma Rina.

"Hmm...... Uh-huh! I know, Konno-san, I'll definitely do my best to finish it well!" Rina Ikoma's heart was already tense after hearing the news, and now that he was specially named by Yoshio Konno, he felt that the pressure had become extremely huge.

"It's okay, Ikoma, let's cheer together. Mai Shiraishi patted Rina Ikoma on the back to help her relieve the pressure, and Rina Ikoma felt a little more comfortable.

"Sanada-san, I hope you and Nan-san can help them train well and prepare for the disclosure performance in the rest of the time. Yoshio Konno turned to Kaneo Sanada and said goodbye.

"Don't worry! I'll do everything I can to help them. Kaneo Sanada nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"Finally, I hope all the members can work hard, the first stage, I hope everyone can have a good start!" "Yoshio Konno finally said a word of blessing, and then left the practice room, not to hinder the time of the members' professional classes, he also had to go to Kenji Kitagawa to discuss the plan of the performance, including the details and preparations.

"It really feels unreal...... We actually made a performance at the AKB concert...... "Sayuri Matsumura still can't accept the shock of this news.

"Since it's Akimoto-san's arrangement, I think there must be something in it that we can't think of!" said Nanami Hashimoto in a low voice.

"It's all official opponents, and it's ...... performing on other people's stages," Minami Hoshino also complained.

"Don't say that, Xiao Nan, we can't participate in deciding this, it's not something we think about, let's just do a good job of practicing. Nana Hashimoto didn't signal Minami Hoshino to say these words anymore, Minami Hoshino also nodded, she knew that what Nana Hashimoto said was good for herself, she believed her very much, but she still didn't understand this question, so she had to pout and think about it herself.

"Nanami is right, we should all be ready and try to do our best!" said Sayuri Matsumura agreeingly.

"Well, let's do it together!" Mai Shiraishi also encouraged.

Everyone was still sitting on the ground resting and whispering, discussing the notice that Konno had just brought, and Sanada Kaneo was also sitting in front of him pondering the contents of the plan.

"It seems that I want to use this to set off a lot of conversation, for Nogizaka 46. But it's okay, if you have a topic, the attention will increase a lot, and if you make your debut, it may be easier. Sanada Kaneo looked at these girls sitting on the ground chatting, each of them showed different expressions, happy and excited, with fear and fear, but they were all determined to work hard to do a good job in this performance, because they were still holding on to their dreams, which made Sanada Kanexiang feel very warm, these girls really didn't have too many other ideas, just to be able to let Nogizaka go further.

"Ikoma, are you still nervous?" Mai Shiraishi asked with concern.

"I didn't ...... It's not that powerful. Rina Ikoma's voice trembled a little.

"Ikoma, you're alright. Nishino Nanase also asked with concern.

"Mmmm, it's okay Na-chan, I'll be fine in a while. Rina Ikoma shook her head and told everyone that she was okay and needed to be quiet for a while. Seeing this, the others didn't want to ask again, so they stopped bothering Ikoma and let her be quiet for a while.

“center…… I'm Nogizaka's center, and I can't make mistakes in this performance, this is Nogizaka's first performance, and I can't do it!" "Rina Ikoma's heart began to make waves, and she also made a lot of determination to make a big decision about herself in this performance.

After a break of about ten minutes, Kaneo Sanada woke everyone up and continued to teach them.

Yoshio Konno came to AKB alone, first found Kenji Kitagawa and then prepared to go to Yasu Akimoto together.

"Didn't Nango come with you?" asked Kitagawa Kenji as he walked.

"In the afternoon, there is also a recording of where Nogizaka is, and I want Nango to be there to help take care of the members who participated in the recording, and Nango is still quite reliable. Yoshio Konno said1

"Well, I'm very conscientious and responsible for my work, and I'm very attentive to the members, so I'm really reliable. Kitagawa Kenji also agreed.

The two of them arrived in the conference room and found that Yasuya Akimoto, as well as several other AKB operators, such as Togasaki Tonobu, the head of the AKB theater, were all sitting in the room.

"I'm sorry for being late, but this is Yoshio Konno from the Nogizaka 46 Management Committee, and I'm here today to discuss the arrangements for the concert in a few days. Kenji Kitagawa introduced.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yoshio Konno from Nogizaka 46, please advise. Yoshio Konno said with a slight bow, and then shook hands with every AKB operator present.

"Alright, let's get started. Today, we will talk about AKB's RH concert this year. After seeing the two of them sit down, Akimoto wiped his glasses and suggested that the meeting could begin.

AKB's meeting,So far, it's still dominated by Yasu Akimoto.,The main thing is that Yasuya Akimoto listens to other people's reports first.,According to the arrangement, he points out the deficiencies and improvements.,If he is not satisfied with too many things.,He will push away and let people reimagine the plan.,And his serious attitude towards the work.,Let Yoshio Konno also feel ashamed.,It's really too much gap.。

The purpose of Konno's trip, in addition to discussing the arrangements for Nogizaka 46's stage, is to learn how Yasushi Akimoto handles the arrangements for concerts and other events, so as to prepare for the future.

"Well, if it's arranged like this, do you have any suggestions from Nogizaka?" Akimoto Yasushi looked at Kenji Kitagawa and Yoshio Konno.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, I think Akimoto-san arranged it very well. Yoshio Konno said slowly.

"Do you want to report this in the newspaper in advance? Is it okay to do that?" asked Kitagawa Kenji.

"Of course, wouldn't it be nice to stir up the atmosphere before the show starts? Just think of it as a challenge from Nogizaka 46 to AKB48, and report a letter from Nogizaka about AKB's challenge, but the wording must be very modest and sincere, so that some people don't lead up bad public opinion, so that everyone will feel curious and want to know what is going on. Curiosity and gossip are hung up, and Nogizaka will naturally begin to attract attention. Akimoto said.

"And when the time comes, after the show, Ikoma, who is the center, will have to express Nogizaka 46's determination in front of all the rice on the spot, and face the AKB rice group, isn't it fun?" added Yasu Akimoto.

"Ikoma her...... Is it okay?" After listening to Yasusu Akimoto's proposal, Yoshio Konno didn't have a lot of confidence in whether Rina Ikoma would really be able to do so, after all, such a thing was too much of a test of a person's ability to resist pressure.

"Hehe, Konno-san, are you so unconfident in your Nogizaka 46 center?" said Akimoto with a smile.

"Oh, no! Ikoma she's fine......! Isn't it a little too difficult?" said Yoshio Konno worriedly.

"Never make assumptions about a person's strong will and courage. In the past, I also thought that many things were a little reluctant for Maeda, although I thought about it but I still asked her to do it, and then she also succeeded very well, if the people who supported them behind them did not have confidence, then who could support them when they lost confidence?" Akimoto said seriously, and at the same time teaching everyone here his operating philosophy.

"I see, thank you, Akimoto-san. Yoshio Konno expressed his gratitude to Yasushi Akimoto for his teaching.

Then the people in the room continued to discuss the flow of the concert.

Where is Nogizaka recording the scene, halfway through the filming work, the members and the host take a break in the intermission.

"Everyone, you're going to make your debut, aren't you?" asked the members who came to the recording show.

"Ahh

"Well, we're going to perform at an AKB concert. Reika Sakurai replied politely.

"Ahh

"Yes, yes, we're pretty good, Shelesan. Ikuta Erika said excitedly.

"Is everyone confident, can you do it well?" asked Shiraku with concern.

"We'll do our best, Sheraku-san, and we won't let down the people who care about us and support us!" replied Ikoma earnestly.

"What a reliable answer!" said Shiraku with a smile.

"That's right, Ikoma is the center, and he's a role model for everyone!" Himura next to him sighed.

"Shiraku-san, are you and Himura-san coming back to see us perform?" said Ikuta Erika to the two of them.

"Well, I don't think I have much time to go to the scene, it looks like the announcement is already full. Shiraku thought about it, and it seemed that he really couldn't squeeze out the time.

"Well, the announcements are indeed full, sorry I can't go to everyone's show. Himura also said apologetically.

"No, no, Shiraku-san and Himura-san, we just want you to see what our first stage performance looks like, but you're too busy with work to do anything. Reika Sakurai said quickly, and the other members also nodded in agreement.

"There will be many opportunities in the future, the opportunity to watch everyone perform on the spot, this time there is no chance, and I hope everyone can complete the performance well!" Shiraku's warm words infected every member around him.

"Aren't you going to thank the banana people?" Nango Yui saw the whole process on the side, walked over, and reminded the members to express their gratitude for the care of the banana people.

"Thank you, Himura-san, we'll do our best!" the members bowed sincerely to the two of them.

"Haha, there is everything, everyone should work hard. Shiraku and Himura replied with a smile, the expression on their faces full of relief.

"Alright, everyone, get ready!" As the director shouted, the members hurried back to their positions to get ready, and the recording of where Nogizaka was going to start again.
