While AKS was busy with internal rectification, the head-to-head showdown between Nogizaka 46 and Rino Shihara also began. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mutual duels in variety shows, performances on the stage, and mutual choking in various remarks.

It soon attracted the attention of the society, and the call for Nogizaka 46 AKB48VS was endless.

Most of the newspapers and newspapers that reported on it deliberately ignored the fact that it was only Rino Shihara in AKB who was actually fighting against Nogizaka 46, and that the first matchup of the formula opponent was exaggerated.

All of a sudden, the whole society was concerned with the direct confrontation between AKB48 and its formula opponents.

"Does AKB48 have formula opponents?

"Rino Hara is going to release a new single? What, there is still a group to face her head-on?"

It has caused heated discussions in society.

At this time, although Nogizaka 46 has gradually opened up his fame in the idol circle and has begun to have some fans, most of them are still so-called "double burden" fans, and outside the idol circle, it can be said that the people still only know AKB.

Taking advantage of the AKS civil strife, the Nogizaka 46 Operating Committee led by Uesugi Muneyuki took a multi-pronged approach and began to build up momentum for Rino Tsuhara and Nogizaka 46 frantically.

Nogizaka 46 began to gradually gain some popularity in Tokyo.

It's almost as if the gods of fortune were walking down the street in standard Nogizaka uniforms, and one out of a dozen or twenty people would recognize them...

Don't underestimate this level, it's already quite remarkable to be able to do this.

If you've seen the early programs of AKB48, you'll be impressed.

In 2009, when AKB48 had already become popular, there was a program like this, and the program team asked AKB everyone to stand on the streets of Akihabara in a grand manner, doing nothing or hiding anything, and then seeing how many people could come up and talk.

It's really not much, even if it's Atsuko Maeda, Mariko Shinoda and the top three people in the general election come to stand on the street, or in the geographical location of the headquarters of Akihabara, it's almost a large wave of people who will recognize them.

And what is the level of awareness of the AKB now?

In mid-2011, a series of surveys were conducted, and Atsuko Maeda's awareness in the Tokyo area was as high as 70%, which means that seven out of ten people living in the Tokyo area know Atsuko Maeda.

The current Nogizaka 46 can't compete with AKB48 at all, and even TOP members like Yuki Kashiwagi and Mayu Watanabe are far inferior, and Nogizaka can only find a more inferior Fingerhara as an opponent.

By the way, on March 25th, Atsuko Maeda announced her retirement at the end of the concert held at the Saitama Superarena.

On April 4, Atsuko Maeda also officially announced through social networks that she would no longer participate in this year's general election.

However, to the discomfort of Uesugi Muneyuki, this point in time was obviously organized and premeditated by AKS, because from April 2nd to April 4th, the cover photo of Nogizaka's second single and the deleted version of this special "Quasi-Dating Image" were released on Nogizaka 46's official YouTube channel and GyaO!, and 11 videos were released every day.

In other words, when it was about to be announced to the climax, Nogizaka was stolen the limelight by Atsuko Maeda, and from the expectation of many people to the sudden crowd of doors, this gap is difficult for Nogizaka's operators to bear.

Obviously, after AKS found out that Reina Matsui and Rino Tsukihara had been poached, they immediately responded by using the killer weapon - Atsuko Maeda's graduation topic to sanction Nogizaka 46.

This was the complete defeat of Nogizaka 46.

There's no way, today's Nogizaka 46, even if a lot of factors of immediate combat power are considered, they are still like newborn chicks, they still have a long way to go from AKB.

In early April, Sony, SMZ building.

Yoshio Konno, Kenji Kitagawa, and Ichiro Satomi sat opposite each other.

With the neutrality of Sony and the erosion of the Ran faction, the AKS accelerated its split, forming three new factions, the Burning faction, the Akimoto Yasu, and the Kyoraku faction.

"Our honeymoon period with Akimoto-san is over, and now we are more of a mutually beneficial relationship, and we can't let him decide the selection all the time, so as long as we gradually take back these powers that belong to us from Akimoto-san, our relationship with Akimoto Yasusu can't always be very good. Yoshio Konno voiced his opinion.

As it stands, no one except Kenji Kitagawa knows that there is a shadow of Uesugi Soyuki in this huge turmoil.

After successfully defeating those firms through tax issues, the Ran Department encountered the unexpected, and instead of being settled as quickly as they imagined, due to the compromise of one side, the situation became more and more intense due to various speculations spread on the Internet through various gossip.

Akimoto Kang took the opportunity to instruct the operation of his own department abroad to fan the flames, which made Zhou Fangliang a little scrambling, but with the strength of the combustion department, it was only a matter of time before he could get these things done.

Different from the memory of the tech nerd, in the memory of the tech nerd, it is said that Nogizaka 46 is Sony's thing, but in fact, before the fourth single, Nogizaka officially started to make profits, Sony's control over Nogizaka 46 is actually very weak.

Nogizaka 46 contract company under the name of Sony,In fact, it was jointly established by Sony and AKS sent scholars,Among them,Sony's head Matsumura Toshiryo and Uesugi Soyuki are different.,He basically doesn't take care of things.,More like a monitor.,And in addition to the internal affairs of the members are in charge of Konno Yoshio.,Foreign affairs、Operations、Concerts are basically controlled by the "Kitaga" office established by Kenji Kitagawa , but he doesn't work for Sony, he has always worked for AKS, and he is under the management of AKS, so his immediate boss is not Naoki Kitagawa, who is the CEO of Sony Music, that is, his father, but the president of AKS, Yasushi Wata, and Kyoraku, who is behind AKS.

Among them, Ota's Kumiko Isono has an important position in the operation of Nogizaka, and the two middle managers of Dentsu are also serving as production supervisors, in this case, the ownership of Nogizaka is complicated, and the operation rights are divided, and the entire Nogizaka 46 contract company, which is responsible for the operation of Nogizaka, has a part of Sony, Dentsu, and AKS, so Sony is not entirely concerned about the specific affairs of Nogizaka.

But in this life, everything is different because of the arrival of Uesugi Soyuki, first of all, Uesugi Soyuki was self-funded when Nogizaka was first built, and he alone has as much as 30% ownership in the group, and due to the official appointment, a "cross-shareholding" has been formed , This makes Sony's control over this combination greatly strengthened, and the Nogizaka 46 contract club has directly become a joint venture formed by a three-way cooperation into a company owned by Sony, and due to Uesugi Soyuki's special identity and hands-on, there are not many cases where Dentsu's two middle-level cadres dare to point fingers at him, and Kumiko Isono was even excluded from the decision-making level, and then Satomi Ichiro was personally promoted by Uesugi Soyuki, and AKS's control over Nogizaka 46 was naturally very weak.

Therefore, after seeing Rino Shihara and Reina Matsui being poached, AKS and the Kyoraku behind it naturally raised their alarm, and it was impossible for the relationship between the two parties to maintain a harmonious relationship.

"The group is now newly built, to put it mildly, basically everyone only knows AKB, no one knows us, so we don't have to turn against AKS, and now we still need to maintain cooperation. Satomi Ichiro said that he knew the current situation: "I understand what you mean, Yasu Akimoto is very weak now, but his position as a producer is untouchable, not to mention anything else, in the current situation, where do you go to find a musician who can write more than 100 lyrics a year?"

Kitagawa Kenji: "Although the AKS is divided, no matter which faction they fight, no one dares to reorganize the AKB, everyone knows that they are here to share the cake, not to lift the table and fight." ”

The three of them know that this is the theme between AKB and Nogizaka in the future, everyone is here to share the big cake of the idol market, and the struggle between them will definitely not be less, but the most important content is to chase profits, not to destroy the craze that Akimoto Yasushi has caused after several years, and work desperately.

If you knock over the dog food bowl, you can't eat it, but you will become a public enemy of the industry.

"Our market research found that Nogizaka's awareness outside of the Tokyo area is extremely weak, so I thought, is it possible to organize a campaign to go to Kansai, Shikoku, and Kyushu?" said Yoshio Konno.

"That's a good idea.,It just so happens that Ah Otaku she's also from Oita Prefecture.,And... Maybe we'll have something unexpected going to Kyushu this time!" Satomi Ichiro said with an impressed expression.

"I think so, there is still a lot of potential for development in the Kyushu market, so we can try the water!" said Kenji Kitagawa, "After the establishment of HKT, most of the fans were actually from Tokyo. ”

So, Nogizaka 46VS Rino Rahara's Kansai itinerary is officially finalized!
