After negotiating the cooperation with "April is Your Lies", Tian Licheng went to the bookstore that night to buy a single copy of the original comics, which is an important prop for posting Weibo for "commercial mutual blowing".

At the beginning of August, the hottest day in Toei, the humid air surrounded by the sea and Tokyo's urban heat island effect make it hard to experience hot flashes outside.

Tian Licheng happened to be hiding at home in the past few days, blowing the air conditioner, reading comics, brushing Weibo, making phone calls, and living a good life.

Of course, if Nanase Nishino can be by his side, it will be even more happy like a fairy.

The new single sales of Nogizaka 46 carried the news flow of the Toei music scene this week.

On July 29, 680,000 copies were sold on the first day, 750,000 copies were sold on August 1, and as of August 3, the total sales volume has reached 780,000 units.

Although there is still a lot of gap compared with AKB48's initial movement of more than 1.5 million shots, the signs of Nogizaka's rise still make many people in the industry look sideways.

The media and TV have reported one after another, and everyone wants to see how high this Sony girl group can reach with the momentum of "Romantic Flight":

AKB48's formula opponent is not recognized just by talking about it, so how can you prove yourself if you don't show some actual results?

The girls at Nogizaka 46 have been working hard lately, with invitations to various TV shows and broadcasts, as well as rehearsals and handshakes for summer tours, and several TOP have been even more busy and dizzy.

It's just that even so, Nana Hashimoto has not forgotten someone's promise in her busy schedule.

No, the girl updated the content on the blog of Nogizaka's official website.

After posting daily pictures and recent work impressions as usual, the girl specially uploaded a blank piece of paper with the numbers "78" and "80" written on it.

"In the first week, 780,000 tickets, can we reach the goal of 800,000 tickets next week?"

In the lower right corner of the white paper, the girl also drew a new uniform with the word "extra large".

Fans who read the blog still don't know what Hashimoto means? DOESN'T THIS REFER TO MDM PANDA'S WOMEN'S CLOTHING CONVENTIONS?

As a result, Tian Licheng's Weibo instantly added a bunch of coaxing guys.

"PANDA-san, Nogizaka 46's uniform can be prepared."

"Where's your new song? Dystocia? ”

"Gentlemen, fulfill your promise early!"

In the face of these "unreasonable" requirements, Tian Licheng posted directly on Weibo: "It's rare to have a summer vacation, travel is gone, and all work matters will be talked about after I come back." The world evaporated.

He's not lying, he did go on a tour, but the location of the tour is more unique - Yoshida's hometown, Kochi.

August 8th, an auspicious day, is also the day when MDM agreed to go to the eldest lady's house for a "visit".

Tian Licheng and Shi Geqi, Yamamoto gathered at Narita Airport early in the morning and boarded a flight to Kochi together.

After an hour and a half of flight, the trio finally set foot on the land of Shikoku.

The sky is clear and the clouds are not stained, even in the hot summer, the breeze blowing by brings a burst of coolness, soothing the heat in the hearts of several people.

Lao Shi, who had just gotten off the plane, couldn't hold back the joy in his heart: "This is Kochi, Yoshida's hometown!" A completely different feeling from Tokyo! It's completely different from Kyushu! ”

Yamamoto said, "With a forest coverage rate of 84%, it is the largest in the eastern part of the country, and it is truly uncompromising. ”

Shi Geqi shouted: "There are still 40,000 rivers!" And sweetfish! ”

Tian Licheng said with a smile: "Don't fantasize about it yet, we're here to do business, didn't the eldest lady say that someone would pick it up?" Let's find the people first. ”

He paused: "Eh~~ Don't look for it, I see him." ”

In the crowd, a lean man in a black suit and sunglasses was out of place with the cool dress of the surrounding crowd, and it was very conspicuous.

His face was expressionless, exuding an aura of not being approached, holding a notice board with the shameful words "Xiao Tiantian" written on it.

"Hello, we are Hibiscus Yoshida's classmates, may I ask who you are?"

The man in black bowed respectfully: "Just call me Nakajima, since you are a friend of the eldest lady, then please come with me." ”

Sitting on the black Lexus, Shi Geqi, who has always liked to be lively, was a little uneasy.

The front passenger seat was empty, and the three big men were crowded in the back row like this, although it was not crowded, but it always made people feel awkward.

It's really the driver's style that makes people think about it.

Lao Shi thought of the various gangster images he had seen in the TV series, and couldn't help but speak in MDM's TT group: "Miss, is your family a Renxia family?" ”

"What do you think! Just follow Nakajima. ”

Shi Geqi shrugged helplessly, seeing Tian Licheng's face calm, calmly looking at the scenery outside the window, he had to calm down.

Kochi Airport is 20 kilometers away from Yoshida's house, and the roads are full of lush trees and clean roads, with no high-rise buildings and low-rise buildings in the big cities.

Nakajima introduced: "This is the first time that the eldest lady has brought a friend to our house as a guest since she was a child, and the countryside has made a few people laugh." ”

Tian Licheng said with a smile: "It's still quite chic, it has a unique flavor, but it reminds me of my hometown." ”

"Oh? What is Tian Sang's hometown? ”

"Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture."

The cars were speeding away, and the buildings on both sides of the road were becoming scarcer and the vegetation was taller.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the intersection in front, we will arrive at our destination."

Accompanied by Nakajima's voice, Tian Licheng suddenly saw a magnificent bronze statue standing on the left side of the road: at that time, a military general of the Warring States Period, wearing a helmet and armor, holding a spear, was shouting towards the sky.

Tian Licheng vaguely saw the word "Yoshida" on the nameplate of the base.

Although he already knew it in his heart, he still confirmed to Nakajima: "Mr. Nakajima, what is that sculpture?" ”

"Oh, that's the 21st governor of the family, the father of the Yoshida clan."

"Shhh My own guess came true.

Yoshida's father-in-law, isn't that Yoshida's pro-family? This is a celebrity in the history of Toei.

Due to his fair skin and weak personality since he was a child, he was contemptuously called "Himerakoko" (a guy like a woman) by his retainers since he was a child.

But when he succeeded to the throne at the age of twenty, he led the Yoshida family to rise rapidly.

Through a series of marriages and assassinations, he amassed his own strength, and at the age of 30, he successfully took possession of Tosa Ichikoku.

After that, he fought in the north and south, Iyo, Sanuki, and Awa, and at the age of 42, the Yoshida family completed the goal of unifying Shikoku Island.

From a small rural landlord to a daimyo with 800,000 koku in Ishitaka, Yoshida's achievements earned him the title of "the first person in Tosa" at the time.

After that, he built Otakakasaka Castle and used it as a base to recuperate, develop his territory, and accumulate strength, hoping to further expand the power of the Yoshida family.

Unfortunately, at the age of 45, he suddenly fell ill and died the following year.

Even so, he personally visited his former ally, the Tokugawa family, who later nominally unified Toei, with whom he was ill, and concluded an alliance with him.

In 1600, during the Battle of Sekigahara, which decided the ownership of Toei, the Yoshida family, as an ally of the Tokugawa clan of the Eastern Army, sent troops to contain the Mori family, one of the main forces of the Western Army, from the rear, and contributed to the victory of the Eastern Army.

In gratitude for the contribution of the Yoshida family, Tokugawa Ieyasu gave Bigo (present-day Hiroshima) and Bichu (present-day Okayama) to the Yoshida family after establishing the Edo shogunate.

The Yoshida clan became a daimyo with 1.2 million stone high, sitting on six countries, and giving rites across both sides of the Seto Inland Sea.

Even though time flies and the vicissitudes of life, in the land of Shikoku, the Yoshida clan still has a huge influence to this day.
