Mai Shiraishi's apartment is not very big, and when you open the door, you can see the whole apartment in full view.

This kind of small apartment is about thirty square meters, except for the bathroom, there is no room separation, the entrance is the kitchen, there is an induction cooker on the stove, judging from the various condiments that are very neatly arranged, the girl should often cook here, there is no sofa in the living room, only a small table and cushions, there is an LCD TV on the opposite wall of the small table, and then there is a small bed, the small bed is close to the wall, this is the end of the apartment, the wall is covered by thick curtains.

It's okay, this is Uesugi Zongxue's first reaction, this level of apartment is a good apartment in Tokyo, where every inch of land is valuable, the security of this community is very good, most of the people who live are office workers and high-rises, girls can live here, Zong Xue himself is more at ease.

And he lives upstairs.

Speaking of which, his upstairs residence naturally won't be the same as the one in Mai Shiraishi, it was a two-bedroom apartment with a high-end apartment, and after living comfortably, Uesugi Soyuki simply spent a lot of money (hundreds of millions of yen) to buy that apartment.

He still remembered the landlord saying to him with a strange look, "Mr. Uesugi, if you like to live, I can rent it to you for a long time, so why do you have to buy it?"

This question is really difficult to answer, he can't tell the landlord, this is the inherent concept of the people of the Celestial Empire, the house must be his own to live comfortably, right?

Of course, the landlord casually asked, Zong Xue's price was expensive, and after some bargaining between the two people, the ownership of the upstairs residence changed hands, and why the girl was able to find such a good location and cheap apartment was also the result of his negotiation with the landlord.

There was no shoe cabinet at the entrance, so the girl's shoes were placed directly on the ground and neatly arranged in a row.

Mai Shiraishi unbuckled the high-heeled sandals, and the jade feet in stockings stepped directly on the tatami mat: "Senior, come in and sit down?"

"No, it's getting late, you should rest early. Uesugi just stood at the door and looked around, then looked down at his watch, put his hands in his pockets, and had no intention of going in.

Entering the girl's room at this point was a very faux pas, and his level of self-discipline and morality would not allow him to do so.

The relationship between the two is just a relatively close relationship between seniors and seniors, at least Uesugi Soyuki himself feels so for the time being.

Seeing that the attitude of the senior was more resolute, Mai Shiraishi knew that he would not come in: "Then, Uesugi senior, are you free tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow ... I'm going to Akihabara. Zong Xue recalled that he had plans to go to Don Quixote's theater again tomorrow.

"Then I'll go with you tomorrow!" Mai Shiraishi's big black eyes rolled and looked at Uesugi Soyuki expectantly.

I always feel like there's something behind this smile... Zong Xue tugged at the corners of her mouth, but it is true that tomorrow is his private act, nothing very important, if the girl wants to go, let her be.

1!2!3!4!

IWANTYOU!

INEEDYOU!

ILOVEYOU!

Early the next morning, a huge LED display in front of the Don Quixote building in Akihabara was playing the music video for akb48's single "HeavyRotation".

The song was released on August 18, 2010 by You, BeCool!/KINGRECORDS.

The single sold about 340,000 copies on its first day of release, reaching the top of the daily singles chart on that day. The first week sales were about 527,000 copies, which also topped the weekly singles chart.

The MV was shot by Minoru Ninagawa, a well-known female photographer in the industry, who used a unique technique to print the youthful energy of AKB48's girls in a dreamlike color palette with a variety of gorgeous bright colors, which is gaudy and unworldly, which is what Uesugi Muneyuki commented on this MV.

"Ah, it's Yuko-chan!" Mai Shiraishi, who was standing beside him, said excitedly.

The girl was wearing a camisole and denim hot pants today, revealing a large area of pink and smooth skin.

"??? do you recognize them?" Zong Xue thought to herself, isn't this right, isn't Mai Shiraishi a fan of Kansai Genesys?

"Why don't I recognize them?Recently, everyone has been singing this song on campus!" Mai Shiraishi looked at Zong Xue curiously.

Zong Xue rolled his eyes, he knew that he was oolong, the AKB at this time was no longer the AKB of two years ago, this national idol group that caused a pop boom has a great popularity in RB, and Atsuko Maeda, who had just defeated the original name of "Fudo center" through the general election, and became the new center Yuko Oshima became a household name with this single RB became popular.

And Zong Xue's memory is still stuck in 08, when Yasu Akimoto came to negotiate with Sony to terminate the record contract.

So he took the girl to the Don Quixote storehouse.

As a result, before he could take two steps, he found Mai Shiraishi standing there, not moving.

"Let's go, let's go inside. ā€

"Senior, are you going to go in and watch the AKB sisters' performance?" the girl still didn't move, she just stood there, looking at the man with big eyes, not knowing what was going on in her mind.

"Why else am I here? Zong Xue said funny, and was about to turn around and leave.

The girl still didn't move, and she continued: "Senior, are you planning to go to the performance by yourself?"

Zong Xue understood what the girl meant.

The girl doesn't want to go in to see the show, maybe because she doesn't like the crowded, noisy environment, maybe she doesn't like to spend her hard-earned weekend time on it, or maybe she doesn't like AKB48.

However, judging from the performance just now, the last possibility can be ruled out, Zong Xue thought of the little book that the girl secretly put away when the two of them were downstairs this morning, and he already had the answer in his heart.

So, do you choose to go in and watch the performance by yourself, or do you choose to give up and see what activities the girls have arranged today?

Uesugi Soyuki instantly appeared on his head, a section of the scale, a large "AKB48" logo, and a note on the back (heyday), this symbol was obviously heavy, and it pressed the scales completely to the side, making a squeaky sound.

Then, on the other side of the scale, the word "white hemp" fell from the sky, directly crushing the scale, and the sign of "AKB48" flew up under the leverage, and I don't know where it went.

"If you don't go to the show, Shiraishi, do you have any preparations?" Zong Xue retracted.

The original purpose of coming to Akihabara today was not to come to see the performance, since the girl had a plan, he was willing to listen to the girl's thoughts.

He knew that as long as he showed the so-called "majesty of his predecessors", Mai Shiraishi would definitely obediently follow him in to watch the performance.

In Japanese and Korean cultures, the concept of "senior" means superiors and obedience.

In the culture of Japan and South Korea, "seniors" actually refer to those who debuted earlier than you in an industry, and these people represent more so-called "vested interest groups".

Even if a person is twenty years younger than you, as long as he debuts one day earlier than you, then he is your "senior".

To confront this conventional rule means that you have to confront the entire vested interest group in the industry.

So many times, the request of the predecessors cannot be refused, and it cannot be refused.

However, since the two met, Zong Xue has never made any requests as a senior, but what the seniors need to do to promote the juniors, he has not fallen behind.

Under the pretense of seniors, in fact, it is an equal relationship, Zong Xue knows this, and Mai Shiraishi also knows that the girl is sweetly "senior", not an honorific title, but like a nickname.

"Yes!" Mai Shiraishi took out a "handbook" (that is, the RB people's schedule notebook) from the small bag, and then flipped through the handbook and began to flip it up: "Let's go to a nearby playground first, and then the store next to it, eat here at noon, and then in the afternoon... Do you have any arrangements for the afternoon?"

"We'll go home in the afternoon and I'll write a report in the evening. Zong Xue smiled, and then said: "I have already arranged to have dinner with people at noon, you can follow me." ā€

"Hmm!" the girl's big eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

While Uesugi Muneyuki and Mai Shiraishi were beating the taiko drums in the playground, the members of the Akihabara Theater were gathering to discuss the next single.

The momentum of the single "HR" is extremely good, and the next one may have a chance to hit one million sales, and in this situation where record sales in the industry are shrinking and the Japanese music circle is generally sluggish, if it can get one million sales, then it will mark that AKB's general trend has been decided, and no one dares to question AKB's status in the Japanese music circle.

The success of AKB48 made everyone present happy, and even the president Yasushi Wata, who has never been very careful, had a smile on his face.

Routinely, Tomonobu Togasaki, the head of the theater, began to report on the financial expenses and revenues related to the theater's operations, and then the next operational trends.

Soon, everyone began to discuss the next single.

"The next single is undoubtedly the most important time for us to hit the million, if we can make it to the red and white with millions of sales, then, the future of AKB... "The excitement on the face of one of the members of the operation team is uncontrollable, he is a new member of the operation of AKB, and he feels very lucky to have encountered such a big trend not long after joining AKS.

"Therefore, the next member of the selection team is very important, and no matter what, there will be no more cases where sales will fall. Another member of the operation said that the doctor had been working at the site for several years.

Akimoto Yasushi sat in front of the door of the conference room, his eyes closed, knowing that the main event was coming, these scholars were not very important people in the operation, and they proposed this content, there must be someone behind them.

"The selection team, and most importantly, center!"

"yes, the person at Center is crucial. ā€

"Speaking of AKB's center, it's Atsuko Maeda. ā€

There was a lot of talking.

"I have an objection!" A middle-aged woman loudly interrupted everyone's discussions, attracting everyone's attention, and even Yasu Akimoto, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at this middle-aged woman.

Do you represent Oki Office?
