Koike Eiko walked over and asked, she was born as a model, her figure is very hot, and now she has not yet come out in the entertainment industry, but she will become popular in a few years.

Coincidentally, she reached the peak of her career almost in the same year as Yui Aragaki.

"There's no script for her, and I don't want to work with her. After I finished filming the few scenes in my hand, I didn't shoot anymore, I was really tired. It's still interesting to sit in the office every day to watch the scenery and make sesame sauce. Zhu Zi said with a smile.

"I also want to gossip, Zhu Zisan, when are you going to marry Sesame Sauce?" Aragaki Yui rarely took the initiative to ask Zhu Zi and Masami Nagasawa about their private affairs.

"It's hard to say, gakki, you won't be expelled by sesame sauce to probe the wind, right?" Zhu Zi looked at Aragaki Yui strangely.

"Of course not, we are just very curious about when the two of you will get married, and your marriage can be said to affect the minds of many people. Aragaki Yui said with a smile.

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Aragaki Yui nodded: "Of course there is." ”

"Okay, when I've decided, I'll tell you all, don't you see Kanno-san and Sakai-san also haven't set a wedding date?" Zhu Zi's next sentence made Sakai Masato, who was originally calm and breezy, stunned.

"Uh...... Zhu Zisang, you ......"

"I look forward to good news for both of you. Zhu Zi said to Sakai Masato with a smile.

Sakai Masato nodded helplessly, but he was not angry, this matter could be hidden from others, but not from Zhu Zi.

The content of the MV is set in a university and lasts for 34 minutes. The main characters are played by AKB48 members Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima, Yuki Kashiwagi and Minami Takahashi, who each play four night school students with different troubles. In addition, Takanori Jinuchi also participated in the performance, playing the role of the protagonist's homeroom teacher, suggesting that the protagonists and other students at school form a light music band "Baby Blossom".
