"The city that used to be the Seven Gods of Good Fortune, Nakata, and Sakurai have all been defeated. Said the set.

"That's right. Himura nodded in confirmation.

The bell rang, and Mahiro Kawamura picked up the mobile phone that he put in front of him.

"Wow, it's Kawamura. Shiraku said in surprise.

"Congratulations. The members of the lounge applauded and congratulated her, and Reika Sakurai smiled happily and was very happy that her companion was selected.

"How are you feeling now?" asked the banana man.

"Very happy......" Mahiro Kawamura smiled brightly.

"Come on, congratulations. The banana man concluded with applause.

"There are also the three former Seven Lucky Gods who stayed in the field, Ichirai, Nakata, and Sakurai, is there a possibility that they didn't enter the selection bar. Shile came up with a hypothesis.

The next member to be called is Sayuri Inoue.

"Congratulations. Seeing that Lily Niang was crying a little sadly, Himura gently blessed him.

"I'm sorry!" Sayuri Inoue said in surprise.

"Huh? Please tell us how you feel now. "It feels a little wrong to set music, but according to the process, each member must say how they feel.

"What a remorse!" said Lily, emphasizing again.

"Why?" asked Shiraku tentatively, "what is the reason for remorse?"

"I would have had a higher goal!" said Sayuri as she cried with the rain.

"It's not ninth, but I wish the phone would ring sooner. Shiraku cautiously tentatively.

"Yes. Sayuri Inoue replied.

"I see. Shiraku breathed a sigh of relief.

"But because I was chosen, I will work hard. Lily said unwillingly.

"Okay, then let's work hard from the current position first!" Shiraku quickly ended the topic, Sayuri Inoue's feelings were a little out of the circle, there were still a bunch of big people watching on the sidelines, Shiraku quickly controlled the atmosphere on the field not to be too embarrassing and cold, and pulled the topic back.

"Sayuri Inoue......" Yasu Akimoto silently pronounced her name.

"Do you really think that if you are so good, the Seven Lucky Gods should give it to you?

"Maybe she didn't mean that......" Yoshio Konno advised.

"Isn't that just unwilling? Knowing that we are all here and still dare to say that kind of thing, I really don't know if it was deliberately said or if it was really low emotional intelligence. Everyone else obeys the arrangement, but she is not reconciled, how good do you really think you are?" Kitagawa Kenji was a little disapproving, and continued.

"Okay, let's talk about this later, let's keep watching, Nanase Nishino is here. Akimoto said.

Hearing Yasusu Akimoto's reminder, everyone also closed their mouths and began to turn their heads to look at Nanase Nishino, who had just entered the studio.

"The phone rang, how are you feeling now? Shiraku asked with a smile.

“…… I'm very happy......", Nanase Nishino cried very much, and it was a little difficult to speak.

"That's good. Himura sighed.

Since Nanase Nishino couldn't continue, Banana Man asked her to go to the team of the selection team next to her.

Next, the member who entered the selection was Hana Nakata, who expressed regret that she had lost the selection of the Seven Lucky Gods, but she would also work harder to do everything well, Banana Man nodded and congratulated her.

"Thank you" Another member was notified, and through the video taken by the camera, Banana Man learned that the next member to be chosen was Yuri Saito.

"I'm pretty much behind the threesome, that level, so I also bought a CD for dance practice and have been practicing at home. Recently, I've been getting some compliments, saying that I'm doing a good job, and I'm really happy. Yuri Saito said.

"Well, keep working hard. Shile concluded.

There were still four spots left, and the atmosphere in the lounge was almost oppressive.

The phone rings, breaking the silence.

"Oh, who is it?" Shiraku and Himura stared at the screen.

"It's Asuka Saito. The two of them said in unison.

“...... I'll do my best, thank you. Asuka Saito replied weakly.

"First Yuri Saito, then Asuka Saito, is the Saito family buying one get one free for today's promotion?" Shiraku complained.

"I'm really not confident, I don't know where I've been recognized by everyone, but now I'm so happy that I don't think about it anymore. The little bird said while crying, and the banana man next to him couldn't help but nod in agreement.

After Asuka Saito's speech, Shiraku also asked her to stand aside and stand with the members of the selection team. finish

"Ichirai and Sakurai haven't been called yet, the original two Seven Lucky Gods," Shiraku said, and the phone rang again, "It's ringing, who is it?"

"It's from the city. The phone from the city rang. Shiraku said.

"I thought I wouldn't be chosen, but I'm really happy, and I'll never give up from now on, believing that I'll keep trying. The city's speech was brief, but it also showed her determination and confidence.

There were two more spots left, and the members of the lounge were looking forward to that possibility. Although Reika Sakurai was unmoved on her face, her heart was already rippling.

"As the god of the Seven Fortunes of the Yuan, the only one who didn't receive the call was Sakurai, and the call would not come. "Shiraku seems to be prompting something.

The phone rings, and it is Nengtiao Aiwei.

In the palms of Sakurai Reika, sweat has appeared, but on the surface, she is still very calm.

"Nice mental quality. Muramatsu Toshiliang praised.

"Akimoto-san, this can't be arranged by you, deliberately put Sakurai at the end. Kitagawa Kenji asked.

"I want to see how Reika Sakurai performs under high pressure, and as the captain of Nogizaka 46, this kind of test should be no problem. Akimoto smiled and replied.

Everyone else nodded and agreed with Akimoto's statement.

"The former member of the Seven Lucky Gods, Sakurai's phone still hasn't rang. Shiraku said anxiously.

Although Reika Sakurai is still sitting there calmly, her heart has begun to turn over the river and the sea, she was only selected as the acting captain not long ago, and now Nogizaka is about to make her debut single, but she has not been called yet. Is there something wrong with me...... Are you not qualified to be the captain of this team...... I am not qualified. In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind, and Reika Sakurai began to doubt whether she had the ability and qualifications to be the captain of Nogizaka 46.

The bell rang and pulled Reika Sakurai's thoughts back.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming!" said the banana man with some excitement, "It's Sakurai!"

The members of the selection team also nodded and smiled knowingly.

After answering the phone, Reika Sakurai ran to the studio, and the 16 people who made Nogizaka's debut single have been confirmed!

Although it's absolutely impossible to think about it, really, tears, tears, tears can't flow anymore. ......," Reika Sakurai said with a smile.

When the other members were chosen, they all cried happily, congratulations, Sakurai. The banana man applauded and congratulated.

Yasu Akimoto and his party outside the court also applauded and congratulated, Reika Sakurai's performance, at present, in the eyes of all of them, is enough to take on the position of captain of Nogizaka 46, a girl with a big heart.

Above, these are the 16 members who participated in the single singing.

On the side of the lounge, all the unsuccessful members were crying silently, some were unwilling, some were sad, in short, there were too many complicated feelings.

At this time, Staff played a pre-recorded Vtr of Yasushi Akimoto on TV and showed it to them.

"It's a pity,You didn't enter the selection of members,But please don't be discouraged.,This is just the beginning.,A defeat doesn't mean that you can't do it.,The first single will try it like this.,Because there's also a test of music and the like.,Also taking into account the situation of commercial collaboration.,So this time let these members enter the selection.,But because it's really just the beginning.,Who is superior and who is inferior doesn't exist yet.,Find your own color.,Make this color.,Make it an indispensable color in Nogizaka 46 and work hard.。 I'll always look forward to it. Yasu Akimoto's words gave confidence to these unsuccessful members, and there was hope in everyone's hearts.

"Mr. Akimoto also said, let's work together from now on!" said Shiraku to the members of the lounge.

"Yes. The unsuccessful members replied loudly, encompassing their confidence and determination.

"Congratulations!" the camera cuts back to Shiraku to the members of the tryouts.

"Thank you. The members of the selection team all bowed and thanked him.

"Click. The director announced that the recording was over, and the members disbanded and returned to the break room, comforting the rest of the group.

"I need to hear the finished product as soon as possible, and I need to inform your dance teacher to design the dance as much as possible according to the music style, as well as the costume designer, and when everything is arranged, I will prepare for the recording of the PV. Before leaving, Yasushi Akimoto said to Yoshio Konno.

"I see, Akimoto-san. Yoshio Konno nodded seriously.

"Hey, it's really serious. Shiraku came over and said that this kind of selection activity is indeed a bit cruel to these unfamiliar and newcomer girls.

"Haha, Akimoto-san's arrangement, we can't help it. Yoshio Konno said with a smile.

"What about Akimoto-san and Muramatsu-san, are they already gone?" Himura asked, seeing that the two were no longer there.

"Well, I also took the time to watch it today, after all, it's the first time. Konno explained.

The banana man nodded, then said a few more words, and left the scene to pack up and go back.

"Finally, it's begun. In the moving vehicle, Akimoto said silently.
