Chapter 65: Kendo Girl
"Don't you see her greatest strength?" Fujishima Takeshi asked rhetorically. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Akimoto shook his head and said, "I really haven't found out about this." ā
"It's her name, don't you think she's very similar to Matsui Jurina's name? Not only are the two of them surnamed Matsui, but the last word is also Nai, and now they are all in a combination, how can there be such a coincidence in the world, isn't it worth hyping up such a good selling point? Takeshi Fujishima explained slowly.
"It makes sense, but they're not sisters, and they don't look alike." Akimoto asked with some confusion.
"It's up to them to work hard for this, anyway, I think it's a good selling point, Matsui sisters, big and small Matsui, it sounds so feeling,."
"Well, okay, I'll go back and think about it again." Akimoto Yasushi said noncommittally.
Then the two of them chatted for a while, until before leaving, Fujishima Takeshi seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Yasu Akimoto: "By the way, Mr. Akimoto, since you call this Matsui Jurina Diamond, then why don't you call the title song of your next album Diamond." ā
Takeshi Fujishima is not talking nonsense, because AKB's first album released after Matsui Jurina joined was called "Loud Diamond", and in real history, this is AKB's turnaround.
This meeting, Yasu Akimoto only took half of Takeshi Fujishima's suggestion, that is, after he went back, he did write a song called "Diamond" as the title song of AKB's new album, and arranged for Rina Matsui to be one of the lead singers, and even used her on the cover, while Reina Matsui, whom Takeshi Fujishima valued very much, was still marginalized.
However, Takeshi Fujishima didn't care about this, but still insisted on signing Reina Matsui, maybe Yasuya Akimoto felt a little embarrassed to reject Takeshi Fujishima's suggestion, so he didn't come forward, but asked his newly invited dance teacher Anna Makino to go through the signing procedures with Takeshi Fujishima for Reina Matsui.
Speaking of this Anna Makino, she is not an ordinary person, she was born in an acting family, and as early as the end of the 80s of the 20th century, she became a well-known idol singer in Japan. After retiring from acting, she worked as a dance instructor at the Okinawa Actors Academy, a family business. Among the students she has cultivated are Japanese music superstar Namie Amuro and Tomomi Itano's childhood idol SPEED. Before taking over, Anna Makino also went to Nagoya to participate in the selection of SKE48 members as one of the judges and was responsible for training these new stage talents.
After bringing Reina Matsui back to the office, Takeshi Fujishima noticed that her mood was a little low, so he decided to talk to her: "What's the matter, Reina, I found that you don't seem to be very happy, aren't you satisfied with some of the terms of the office?" ā
Reina Matsui waved her hand again and again: "No, no, I'm a newcomer who hasn't officially debuted yet, you can give me a salary of 200,000 yuan a month, I'm already very satisfied, but, it's just that I'm afraid of living up to your trust." ā
"Oh? Why do you think so? Takeshi Fujishima asked with interest.
Reina Matsui plucked up the courage and replied, "IāI heard that the president, you, once suggested to Mr. Akimoto that I partner with Rina Suzumoto, but Mr. Akimoto did not agree. Even Mr. Akimoto didn't think about me, I don't think I'm suitable for development in the entertainment industry, after all, I have a waist injury, and I don't have experience in dance and acting. ā
Takeshi Fujishima shook his head and said: "If you have a waist injury to recover, you have no experience in dancing and acting to learn, I believe that as long as you show your efforts to practice kendo back then, then nothing can stump you." ā
"Huh?! President, do you know that I used to practice kendo? Reina Matsui asked with a surprised face.
"Not only do I know that you have practiced kendo, but I also know that you are a third dan of kendo, and you have won the third place in the individual battle in Nagoya." Takeshi Fujishima said mysteriously.
"President, you know a lot about my past."
"Of course, otherwise why do I have to sign you, you know, except for the five people in the first phase, I haven't signed any of the AKB recruits in these issues, and you are the only exception." The reason why he didn't sign a new member of AKB was because he was very busy during that time, and secondly, because Yasu Akimoto refused to sign someone to her, this time Reina Matsui was because Yasu Akimoto was extremely unoptimistic, so he let Takeshi Fujishima sign away.
Feeling the importance of Takeshi Fujishima, Reina Matsui clenched her little fists excitedly and said seriously: "President, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to learn acting and dancing, and I will not disappoint you." ā
Speaking of Matsui Reina is a child who desperately needs the recognition of others, the reason why she quit the kendo club at the beginning, partly because of injuries, and more importantly, because she has never been recognized by the new coach, initially she was the head of the school's kendo department, although the talent is very good, but due to weak physique, many injuries, so often forced to rest, and even two level 2 exams were missed because of physical reasons.
So the new coach took her ministerial position and gave it to the students with high attendance, and she was even excluded from the list of team battles in the city conference, so she could only participate in the individual battles, but even if she got the third place, the result was still not recognized by the coach, so she left the kendo club and entered the drama club to start over.
Originally, she thought that being in AKB was like the beginning of another kendo club life, but she was still not recognized by the coach, that is, Mr. Akimoto, and even the dance position was ranked in the most inconspicuous third row left behind, but she didn't expect that someone outside AKB valued her, making her the first member of SKE48 to get a contract with the firm, and this discerning Bole actually knew himself so well, how could this not make Reina Matsui, who had not been taken seriously, excited.
With this mood, Reina Matsui began to practice diligently, due to the perennial kendo practice, her physical fitness was already very good, so she improved quickly, and what made her even happier was that it didn't take long for her to be arranged to partner with Matsui Jurina and become one of the dual cores of SKE48.
Reina Matsui thought that this promotion was due to her recent efforts, but in fact it was not because of this ......
