After returning to Tokyo, the time was close to late April, and the release of the single was already close at hand, but Uesugi Muneyuki had nothing to do, everything was going according to plan, and nothing else happened. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the verge of the release of the single, the two girls in the family are very busy, Nana Hashimoto is not fine, and walks the notice like an ordinary clock-in to work, and Mai Shiraishi often can't go home until eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Uesugi Muneyuki himself is idle, and he hasn't had anything to do lately.

Sony SMZ building, Uesugi Muneyuki's office.

He was browsing the famous danmaku website, Niconico.

In the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, he made a fortune by gambling, and then quickly bought a large number of shares in Kadokawa Books when it was reorganized, and then, after Zuckerberg began to build Facebook, he contacted the creator of Facebook for the first time and provided a lot of financial support.

However, people are not omnipotent, such as this thing in front of him, the niconico barrage website, which now has tens of millions of registered users and millions of paid users, is one of the pearls he left behind, no way, there are too many things, at that time he had to write novels and do futures part-time, and he really didn't have the energy to manage the construction of the barrage website anymore.

Although there are some regrets, but I don't regret it very much, I have grasped some key opportunities, and it is indeed a pity to miss Niconico, but it is not a matter of having to do it.

Uesugi Soyuki was watching a video on his desk while playing with a pen in his hand and humming a small tune.

"The days when I cried on the way home~"

"The day when I lost my self-confidence~~"

Uesugi Soyuki sings AKB48's representative song "First Day", which is a song of good quality in AKB48, and Yasushi Akimoto fills in the lyrics the various difficulties and hardships that girls encounter after becoming idols, and even includes some real things.

AKB48's song quality has begun to decline significantly this year, and the reasons have been mentioned before, so I won't repeat them here.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Soyuki clicked on another video and watched it with relish.

His phone rang suddenly.

"Hey, I'm Uesugi!"

"Moses Moses, Zong Xuejun, long time no see!Uncle, I miss you so much!" A treacherous voice came from the microphone.

Zhou Fangliang's chubby, round face with an evil smile appeared in Uesugi Soxue's mind.

He and Zhou Fangliang are really not allies, to be specific, they are just using each other, but the two parties are quite happy to cooperate on the tax matter of AKS this time, and Uesugi Soyuki decided to listen to what this uncle wants to say to him.

"If you want me, uncle, invite me to dinner!" Uesugi Soyuki is also too lazy to be polite, his father and this uncle are in a relationship of being called brothers, and this uncle said that when he was a child, he also changed his diaper, which made him not want to be polite when facing this uncle.

"Hahaha, of course you can, but there is something today, but no, how about I invite you to dinner at the foot of Mount Fuji in two days?" Zhou Fangliang's voice became louder, obviously this uncle liked his attitude very much.

"Okay, don't be in a hurry about eating, uncle, just talk about something!" Uesugi decided to get straight to the point.

"Ahem, okay, that's the case, Zong Xuejun, that guy Akimoto just refuses to give in now, he is hiding at home, he just doesn't want to see us, he is like this, it is difficult for us to do it." Zhou Fangliang's voice continued to come.

"Oh, don't you have a lot of ways to force people out?"

"But this method can't be used on him!" Zhou Fangliang's voice was a little distressed: "If we use it, others will definitely say that we don't follow the rules." ”

In other words, if you can use it, you have already used it, right?

"Then uncle, you can ask President Zhou Fang to come out, if he appears, Mr. Akimoto will definitely come out to meet you. Uesugi continued to complain directly without conscience.

“。。。 Zong Xuejun, you did it on purpose, right? What kind of bad ideas are these? Of course, it was useful to ask my father to come out, but I was embarrassed by my uncle. Zhou Fangliang felt that he was really crying and laughing, all the methods proposed by this young man were feasible, but they were all the kind of methods that did more harm than good.

Zhou Fangliang's father, Zhou Fang Yuxiong, is of course a giant-level figure, but if he asks his father to deal with this matter, his prestige and reputation will definitely suffer a huge loss, especially in the context of Zhou Fangyuxiong's advanced age and preparing to retire in a few years.

"Then what is the uncle looking for me?" Uesugi still pretended not to understand.

"Zong Xuejun, you are now the last straw for Qiu Yuanyasu, or rather, Jingle, Qiu Yuanyasu, and Dentsu are all waiting for you to make a statement, as long as you make a statement, then a new power pattern will be formed, so ah, Zong Xuejun, uncle needs your help. ”

Zhou Fangliang is not wrong, the current AKS, the chaotic internal pattern has been basically controlled by the Burning Department, the scholars of the Akimoto Yasuya faction have either been secretly surrendered by the Ming Sheng, or have been assigned to the frontier (SKE, HKT), or obediently surrendered (several major firms), the diehards have lost all their strength (such as Ota's Kumiko Isano), and the Burning Department has controlled the overall situation.

Uesugi Soyuki, who represents Sony, has never made any remarks.

The Burning Department needs the final blow, forcing Akimoto Yasushi to appear and make him admit defeat.

"Zong Xuejun, you don't have to say anything, you don't have to do anything, just show up with me at this afternoon's event, and meet the captain of AKB48's Group A, Takahashi Minami. Zhou Fangliang made a request: "How about giving uncle a face?"

“。。。 Okay. Uesugi Muneyuki nodded in agreement, for some time now, the chaos of AKS has greatly slowed down its work efficiency and speed of handling things, which is not what Sony wants to see.

If nothing else, part of the distribution and copyright of AKB48 is in the hands of Sony!

So, at a business event in the afternoon, Uesugi Muneyuki finally met Minami Takahashi, who is known as the "soul of AKB" by fans.

Follow Zhou Fangliang to the lounge of a commercial building, today, Takahashi Minami is participating in a commercial performance as a "NO3B" event.

no3b is a spin-off group of the Japanese girl idol group AKB48, consisting of three AKB48 first-term members: Yona Kojima, Minami Takahashi, and Minami Minegishi.

Among them, Takahashi Minami's talent is mainly reflected in singing, Minami Minegishi's talent is reflected in variety shows, and Kojima Yona is the fixed host of photo magazines and program groups.

As for why these three girls with very different styles were forcibly tied together and then debuted as a derivative group... The reason is simple, they were transferred to the Oki office at the same time.

So the Oki office let these three girls debut together.

Uesugi Soyuki complained that this decision was actually a bit hasty, with different development directions, different focus on personal careers, and then what's worse is that the differences in appearance and personality between the three girls are very big, in fact, if they are forcibly tied together, there may be many problems.

However, all the difficulties, when put on the name of Takahashi Minami, are really not difficult.

Many people say that Atsuko Maeda represents AKB, and Minami Takahashi is AKB.

Uesugi Muneyuki thinks so.

Unlike Atsuko Maeda, who has received major official resources, and Yuko Oshima, who has outstanding abilities and can appear in foreign affairs more and has a strong stage appeal, Takahashi Minami is a much weaker member than the first two for the public, but it happens to be extremely synchronized with AKB48.

During the selection of the first student, Takahashi Minami passed the selection in a very, very strange way, because she was 148.5 cm tall and her birthday was April 8, Akimoto Yasu felt that it was very auspicious to recruit such a girl, so he recruited her into the group.

Yes, it's that simple reason, because Yasu Akimoto feels auspicious.

Otherwise, this girl would have been swept away early, because Yasu Akimoto did not hesitate to eliminate her at another audition meeting that was almost identical.

Minami Takahashi doesn't have any conditions to become an idol. She is the shortest and at the same time has the appearance of a bad girl, her facial features are very tough, and the first impression is even easy to arouse the disgust of others.

The dancing talent is very poor, practicing dance for a few hours is not as good as the effect of others for an hour, being left to practice and because of the delay and let the choreographer modify the difficulty, she was deeply ashamed to go home late at night and continue to practice by herself, from the dance lag to finally become the top member of the team.

When practicing, you are always the first to arrive and the last to leave. Before any performance, I wake up four hours early to put on my makeup and adjust my mood to the best I can. In addition to work reasons, as much as possible, do not miss the theater performance, even if you are sick or too tired and in poor physical condition, you will leave the central position and go to the sides of the team to participate in the performance, have perfect etiquette, do not let the juniors call themselves with honorifics, but they add honorifics to the juniors. has an extremely subtle observation of the state of the juniors, Takashiro Aki hides the story of her grandfather's illness and insists on participating in the performance, Mariko Tsukita is isolated by the other members when she first joins, and Amina Sato sneaks out with only half a second of camera in the PV, etc., Takahashi Minami will be the first to notice the abnormality, or comfort or help solve the problem. Before the debut of the new team, she would also encourage them in person or by text, and even help put ice stickers on when the staff fell asleep in the lighting box due to fever.

This is Takahashi Minami, in fact, what AKB needs has never been Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima, because it is AKB that has made them, in the opinion of Uesugi Soyuki, Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima has certainly put in a lot of effort and made a lot of contributions, however, they are not indispensable, replaced by Atsuko Goda, Atsuko Sada, maybe the subtleties will be different, but in general it will be an effect, as long as it is according to Fat Autumn's expectations, it will not be too far behind.

Only Minami Takahashi, irreplaceable, is the soul of AKB.
