The girls arrived at the venue early, and the girls were very nervous and couldn't stop being excited.
"Great! It looks like the tickets are sold out!Thank you!" Rina Ikoma, who is the center, said excitedly in a blue-purple plaid dress to the footage that recorded the backstage passing.
"yes yes yes, yes, so nervous, so nervous!" said Ito to as well, to the camera.
Next, several waves of girls pass by the camera of the hallway, and everyone says a few words more or less.
"What should I do, what should I do~" The little bird jumped in front of the camera, the little girl tied a double ponytail braid today, looking very cute, swaying and following the owner's movements.
The girls walked in front of the camera one by one, making cute gestures.
There was a crowd of people outside the concert, and many fans were queuing up to enter the venue, and at this time, a black Mercedes-Benz car was parked in the distance, and a few people got out of the car.
After looking around the queue and seeing the flags with the names of the girls erected on both sides of the road, Uesugi Soyuki smiled and said, "Tsk, there aren't a lot of people, if it takes a few years, maybe there will be people queuing from last night." ”
"That's the AKB treatment, we don't have this level yet... However, being able to appear on the first anniversary of their debut is a good achievement. Ichiro Satomi, the project manager, said to Uesugi Muneyuki.
"It's okay. Uesugi Soyuki walked towards the line of fans with a group of several people.
Slightly different from the AKB team, the proportion of women in the team of Nogizaka 46 will be higher, and Uesugi Soyuki approached with the group, and the crowd immediately stirred: "It's 6.3 billion men!"
"It's Director Uesugi! It's Director Uesugi here!"
"Hello Director Uesugi!"
The fans are very enthusiastic, fat and thin, tall and short, men and women all greet him, many fans are holding various towels and various support sticks in their hands, Uesugi Soyuki did not dislike it in the slightest, but was like a fan who came to support together: "Hello ~ Hello everyone!"
"Is Uesugi-san going up to perform today?" quipped some fans.
"Performance? If I go up to perform, will I have a handshake party in the future?"
"Hahahaha! If Uesugi-san shakes up, we will definitely participate!" the fans responded enthusiastically.
"It's impossible to have a handshake party, it's impossible to have a handshake party in this life, you can't sing and you can't sing, you can't dance or dance, that is, you can do social networking this kind of thing, so you can maintain this kind of life, every time I see your fans complaining on 2ch, I'm like going home, everyone is talented, it's interesting to complain, I really like to go shopping in the anonymous version of saying~" Uesugi Soyuki said casually: "By the way, what do you want to ask?"
"Uesugi-san, who do you like? Ishihara-san or gakki?" a girl in the crowd shouted, but was quickly glared at by the surrounding fans and was brutally suppressed.
"Ahh Uesugi Muneyuki replied casually.
"That's not what I said, ahhhh "Uesugi-san, why can't Hinata enter the selection?" Before the girl in front of her could speak, a man in the crowd shouted loudly, Uesugi noticed that this thing was wearing a purple dress, holding a fan printed with the face of Nakamoto Hiyaka, a member of Nogizaka 46, and tied Nakamoto Hiyaka's support towel around her neck, but it seemed to be a cherished reason, the support towel was not disassembled, and even the plastic packaging was still there, and the whole person looked very funny.
"Hiya Xiang, she's really an interesting girl, but the orthodox idol sense in her body is too strong, and she still needs to be honed. Uesugi said to the man.
"But Uesugi-san, you have to give her a chance, please, let Hiya Xiang come into the selection! I've left a message under Uesugi-san's INS many times!" The man folded his hands and had a look of please.
"Oh, you can't be that beam-chan called 'Himetan's beam', right?" Uesugi Muneyuki suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's me!" the fan was thrilled to hear that it was recognized.
"Uesugi-san, does Shiraishi have any plans to release a single? I'm the one who left a message under your INS called Kaka!"
"Uesugi Sang, a library of sauce (Huahua) can also be a C, is the operation to learn from AKB to do not be a C?
Fans saw that Uesugi Soyuki was really answering questions, so they said one after another that the long queue that was originally lined up under the guidance of the staff began to play Uesugi Soyuki in this direction.
"The arrangement of the station is decided by Mr. Akimoto, I don't care about this matter, you have any opinions about the position and go to Mr. Akimoto, don't look for me!"
The line began to get messy, and Satomi Ichiro whispered, "Uesugi-san, let's go in! you're causing confusion here, and if you accidentally don't get the word right, or if someone deliberately distorts your words, you'll be in trouble." ”
Uesugi Soyuki felt that it made sense, so he pretended to have something to do and said: "If you have any questions, you can leave a message on my INS, and I will randomly select one or two people to reply every week, so I won't say more here." ”
After saying that, he stopped answering the fans' questions and walked directly into the Makuhari Exhibition Hall. 、
"We had less than 10,000 seats today, and the average ticket price was about 8,000 yen, which means that we had about 80 million dollars, but that was just a guarantee that we wouldn't lose money. Satomi Ichiro took Uesugi Soyuki to the passage in the stadium and said with a headache.
"We can also make money through peripherals, and historically, the majority of idols' income is not merchandise except for CDs?" Uesugi said hello to the oncoming staff, then looked at the booths selling peripherals inside the venue, and nodded: "Just get ready for the concert, there will definitely be no problem in making profits." ”
In the tense backstage, the girls are putting on the final makeup.
"Oops~ Don't touch me, I just put on makeup!"
"My jewelry, where did my jewelry go?"
"Get out of the way, where's my shoes?"
There was a rush backstage, with girls running around, makeup artists, doctors, staff, and operators gathered backstage to make final preparations for the one-year anniversary.
Soon, night fell and the concert officially began.
The big screen lights up, and there are short films edited by the operation.
The figure of the captain Reika Sakurai appears in the short film, the girl is holding an umbrella and wearing a white coat, and says to the camera: "Life has changed, and I have changed." ”
"Everything around changed the day. ”
"After my debut, I went through a lot of things. ”
"Nogizaka debuted a year ago, and it has become such a team. ”
"I want everyone to watch a concert like this. ”
Along with some of the incoherent dialogues, Reika Sakurai takes out a cake from a cake shop.
Fans know that this cake is the birthday cake of Nogizaka's 46th anniversary.
The birthday song sounded, and the cake with only one candle was lit by the captain, and the audience sang the birthday song: "happy birthday to you~"
“happy birthday to you~”
The birthday song only played for a short time before it ended, and then the show began.
The familiar beat sounds, Nogizaka 46's debut song, "Rolling Curtains".
A white curtain falls from the sky, purple lights come on, streamers shoot into the sky, and the song begins!
"Sunshine in the curtains"
"With her, with me, and layers of privacy secrets"
"What the hell are we talking about?
The stage was divided into three floors, and the girls appeared on the stage wearing blue and purple plaid dresses for their first single, and Rina Ikoma stood at the front, and after a few days of adjustment, the girls had been adjusted to the best state and faced the fans who came to support them with the best smiles.
On the stage, all the members of Nogizaka 46 were present, and more than 30 people looked quite spectacular.
"Rolling Curtains" quickly heated up, and after the girls danced two songs in a row, they stopped temporarily, lined up in two rows, and waved vigorously to the fans: "Thank you!"
"Oh oh oh~" The fans below raised the fans in their hands one after another, and the glow sticks responded enthusiastically.
"Sa~ everyone, good evening! Ready~" Under the leadership of captain Reika Sakurai, the girls on the stage all patted their shoulders, drew a circle on their chests, and clenched into fists: "We are Nogizaka 46!"
"Please advise!"
"Is everyone on fire?"
"Everyone in the back, can you see it?"
Today is February 22, 2013, the first birthday of Nogizaka 46!!"
"yes yes yes~~~"
"We've never performed in such a big venue before, so thank you all for protecting us with enthusiasm and supporting us!" Captain Reika Sakurai bowed first, and then more than 30 girls stood in a row and bowed collectively.
"Do you know? Today's concert includes all the songs we've had since our debut!" Erika Ikuta stepped forward, and the cute Hana also sold a moe.
"So, in order to thank the people who have been supporting us and supporting us, please cheer up tonight!" said Ikoma Rinami.
In the audience, a middle-aged man in the relationship seat was complaining: "The MC's ability is really not good, and he said a lot of the same content over and over again." ”
"yes, Ikoma still needs a lot of training. A chubby, mushroom-headed middle-aged man also smiled, and the two of them continued to look at the girls on the stage with the eyes of their juniors.
"So, let's move on to the next one!"
"yes yes yes~"
