Chapter Seventy-One: Nogizaka's Second Single Selection Announcement (Part II)
Nogizaka two single seven lucky gods selection, there is still the last place left.
"Next, the remaining one of the Seven Lucky Gods is in this envelope. Shiraku handed Nanami Hashimoto the last envelope containing the list of the Seven Lucky Gods.
For the first time, Ikuta Erika felt the possibility that her name might not be pronounced.
"Don't be satisfied with the status quo.,Don't say discouraged words.,I've been working hard with a mature mentality.,As a girl, I've always been very respectful.,Mai Shiraishi.。 Nana Hashimoto did not seriously pronounce the name of the last god of good fortune.
Congratulatory applause, Mai Shiraishi thanked and walked into the studio crying.
Minami Hoshino, who was still in her seat, covered her face with tears in her eyes, and Erika Ikuta was already crying into a tear.
“…… I will hone myself even more, not be satisfied with the status quo, grow faster, and continue to work hard in the future. Mai Shiraishi spoke.
"That's it, Seven Lucky Gods. Shiraku said.
"Uh-huh, sure. Himura nodded in reply.
"Shiraishi is put at the end, Akimoto-san is really a bad taste. Yoshio Konno said with a smile.
"Akimoto-san hopes that Shiraishi can achieve the feeling that we made about her during the audition, a single feeling that she didn't play too much, and she needs to be stimulated, which is what Akimoto-san meant. Kenji Kitagawa said.
"Those who need stimulation are the two of them. Yoshio Konno looked at Minami Hoshino and Erika Ikuta sitting in the lounge, and said lightly.
"Yes, especially Ikuta Erika. This time, Akimoto-san said that she must not be asked to enter the Seven Lucky Gods again. Kenji Kitagawa said confirmingly.
The selection continues, and the remaining members of the selection will be announced soon.
"She's working harder than others, so I'm going to work together in the future, Sayuri Inoue. Mai Shiraishi announced.
"I didn't succeed in the debut list of the Seven Lucky Gods, and I lost the election again this time...... I think it's because the effort isn't enough that that's why we got this result. Sayuri Inoue cried and said what she thought.
"Although hard work is easy to say, but there is really nothing to say except hard work, come on!" Shiraku looked at the operation bosses of Nogizaka who were standing on the sidelines, and with the experience of the last time, this time he quickly stopped the trend of Sayuri's inappropriate speech in advance.
"The next selection members. Shiraku said as he handed the envelope.
"I've always been gentle, I've always tried hard to make the members happy, and I've always thanked you, Yuri Saito. Sayuri Inoue said.
"Come on!" the rest of the lounge members happily congratulated, saying that Yuri Saito was very popular with everyone.
"Actually, I really don't have much confidence, and I will definitely work hard more than everyone expects in the future. Yuri Saito finished her thoughts while crying.
There are still seven members left in the selection slot, and the selection continues.
At this time, Ikuta Erika couldn't stop trembling with her whole body crying......
"I wouldn't have met at all, but I learned a lot from her. I'm really happy to finally be able to enter the selection with her, so let's work together. ......" When Yuri Saito said this, the eyes of Mai Fukagawa, who was sitting at the back, suddenly burst into hope.
"Narira Miyazawa. After Yuri Saito announced it, Mai Fukagawa first congratulated Narira Miyazawa beside her, and she silently told herself in her heart that there was still a chance.
"What about the newcomer......" Nango Yui applauded and congratulated.
"I said everybody would give them a chance, just rotate. Kitagawa Kenji said indifferently, and Miyazawa's speech on the field was finished.
"It's very hard to take care of both academics and idols, and I will study very seriously before training, and I really respect her. "The next selection member is also out.
Ikuta Erika, who thought she was going to be called by her name, once again turned her hope into deep disappointment...... I even felt like I was going to fall out of the selection group this time.
"Hehe, Ikuta seems to have a premonition that he will lose the selection. Looking at the appearance of Ikuta's Erika captured on the screen, Kitagawa Kenji smiled evilly.
"Kitagawa-san, you're the bad taste......" Yoshio Konno complained with disgust.
The next person to announce his entry into the selection is Kiyora Hatanaka, another new member of the selection, and there are 4 positions left.
"I just came to Tokyo recently, and I have a lot of anxiety in my heart, but I still work very hard, Nanase Nishino. Hatanaka Kiyora announced.
"What about Nishino......" Yoshio Konno and Yui Nango laughed.
"I worked really hard to get into the selection before, and it's really good to work hard to be the best I can be......" Nanase Nishino said while crying.
"You still need to continue to grow, Nishino, you are far from enough now. Yoshio Konno thought silently in his heart.
"At this time, the Seven Lucky Gods of Yidan, Ikuta and Hoshino, have not yet been called. There are 3 left. Shiraku said.
"It's really fun to laugh together in the face of difficulties and enter the selection together, congratulations, Minami Hoshino. Nanase Nishino congratulated.
Hearing Minami Hoshino's name, Ikuta Erika had already begun to feel hopeless in her heart, as if she was really the only one who was not chosen, and tears flowed out of her eyes more and more.
"Ah, Hoshino, you're in the audition, congratulations!"
"Although I was very happy to be able to enter the Seven Lucky Gods before, I was also under a lot of pressure, and even if I didn't make it to the Seven Gods this time, I was very happy to be able to enter the selection. We will continue our efforts in the future. Minami Hoshino expressed her feelings.
"Hoshino is really cute. Kenji Kitagawa also praised, and then the people who operated it all smiled and looked at the other cute member on the screen.
There are 16 people in the second singles selection lineup, and there are still four people in the selection lineup last time, and there are still two positions left.
Rina Ikoma secretly clenched her fists on the field, staring at Erika Ikuta on the screen.
"We must be together!" said Rina Ikoma, praying inwardly.
"I've been working hard, teaching me a lot of things, and I used to work together as the Seven Lucky Gods, thank you, and Ikuta Erika will take care of you in the future. Minami Hoshino happily pronounced the name.
"Ikuta, Ikuta is here at this time!" Shiraku applauded.
"The Seven Lucky Gods fell out this time......" Shiraku said with some regret.
"Very unwilling...... Unwilling to ......" Ikuta Erika kept repeating this sentence.
"I fell out of the Seven Lucky Gods, and I have to work harder to get back to the Seven Good Fortune Gods. Shiraku looked at the operation on the sidelines, and everyone smiled and looked at Erika Ikuta, who was crying into tears on stage, and it seemed that there was no problem with speaking, and Shiraku was also relieved.
"I see......" Ikuta replied, clenching her fists.
"Finally, when I first saw the list, I was also very surprised, Ikuta would fall off the god of fortune. Yoshio Konno said.
"We all know that Ikuta is very good, really good. Even if she has been like this with her current mentality, it is no problem to make a steady selection. But she could obviously go to the next level. She is hesitant, or she thinks it's good right now, and she can't tell the difference between the importance of idols and her studies. This time it's about hoping that she will make a choice, and hopefully she can make the choice we want. Kitagawa Kenji said slowly.
Yoshio Konno and Yui Nango nodded after hearing this, indeed, Erika Ikuta has been absent from a lot of activities recently, and it is obvious that she attaches far less importance to her idol than she imagined.
"Nogizaka is a place where hard work is valued, and if a genius doesn't work hard, he will be left behind by a genius who works hard. Toshiyo Muramatsu finally concluded.
The last member to be selected was Yumiko Iwase, the eldest member of the group, and when her name was announced, Mai Fukagawa's last hope was dashed, and this time, she didn't comfort the people around her, and sat there silently crying.
"This time, the formation is the same as the last time, the first three are the center formation, and the names will be announced below. Shiraku then announced, "Rina Ikoma, Reika Sakurai, Hana Nakata." ”
The other members of the selection team applauded and congratulated them.
"Actually, it's still the center of the koma, just look at the position. She is still in the middle No. 2 position. Kitagawa Kenji said seriously.
"Ikoma ......" Nango and Konno silently looked at Rina Ikoma on the field.
"The above is the announcement of the second single selection of Nogizaka 46, I hope you will continue to work hard to let more people know and like Nogizaka 46. Shiraku and Himura concluded.
"Smack!" With the sound of Staff tapping the board, today's recording was over.
