The girls nodded in unison.

Zhu Zi: "......"

"Let's talk about Takahashi. ”

Minami Takahashi suddenly became serious and focused.

"In my heart, you are the one who represents AKB, and you are the one who can represent the spirit of AKB at all times."

Mr. Akimoto said, "AKB48 is Minami Takahashi." ”

In fact, Zhu Zi is right, Takahashi, as the spiritual leader of AKB48, has struggled for seven and a half years on this stage and the process of AKB48's development and growth at the spiritual level. If you want to condense AKB48 into a representative figure, this person will definitely not be anyone else, but only Minami Takahashi, the most inconspicuous of all the TOP members.

With a height of 148 cm and a birthday of April 8, this is the reason why Minami Takahashi was able to enter AKB48. Yasu Akimoto often emphasizes the importance of "luck", and for AKB48 and Minami Takahashi, "luck" has helped both grow together from the beginning.

Yasusu Akimoto, who had eliminated Minami Takahashi in another idol audition, recalled afterwards that he had no impression of this child at all. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she was born with 48, she would have been eliminated in the selection of AKB48. 14-year-old Takahashi Minami was considered by others to be a mother who accompanied her child when she participated in the audition, and she couldn't dance, although singing was her strength, but it was not outstanding in terms of real hard power, and her thick voice seemed very characterless and quite inconsistent with the identity of an idol. Although it is rude to describe it like this, in fact, with her conditions at the time, it is difficult to believe that such a girl can stand out in the idol audition.

Minami Takahashi doesn't have any conditions to become an idol. She's the shortest and at the same time has the appearance of a bad girl, and even a feeling of disgust to strangers, and she can't be touched on either side of the cute/royal sister route. Before joining AKB48, I was in the home department at school, and it was inconspicuous to go home after school without participating in any clubs. I don't like to communicate with people, I can hardly make friends, there are only two real friends, and I feel that it is impossible to make a hundred friends. I like to read comics and play games, especially action games, and I don't like to stay at home when I go out. There is no taste in dressing up, and he always speaks coldly. Such a child,It's obviously a family squat.,If there is no AKB48,I'm afraid her future will be the same as the batch of female dicks that were ridiculed by the media.。

In other words, Minami Takahashi can be said to be a representative of those who are in a relatively weak position among ordinary people and even in the house world. If this kind of person who is often used to find psychological balance can realize that kind of illusory dream and become a national idol, then my dream should be able to come true, right?

Because she couldn't dance, she was left to practice and the choreography was changed because of the delay, and she was deeply ashamed to go home late at night and continue to practice by herself, and she finally became a member of the team after she was a lagging student in dance. When the juniors get into trouble dancing, she will also act as a mirror and dance face to face to help others correct their mistakes.

When practicing, you are always the first to arrive and the last to leave. Before any performance, I wake up four hours early to put on my makeup and adjust my mood to the best I can. In addition to work reasons, I try not to miss theater performances as much as possible, and even if I am sick or too tired and in poor physical condition, I will leave the central position and go to the two sides of the team to participate in the performance.

Have perfect etiquette, don't let your juniors call you with honorifics, but you add honorifics to your juniors. has an extremely subtle observation of the state of the juniors, Takashiro Aki hides the story of her grandfather's illness and insists on participating in the performance, Mariko Tsukita is isolated by the other members when she first joins, and Amina Sato sneaks out with only half a second of camera in the PV, etc., Takahashi Minami will be the first to notice the abnormality, or comfort or help solve the problem. Before the debut of the new team, she would also encourage them in person or by text, and even help put ice stickers on when the staff fell asleep in the lighting box due to fever.

She often buys the members' favorite drinks in advance when performing or going home together, takes the initiative to ask for autographs from their favorite stars when she participates in the show, and always cheers twice as loud as others when the other members introduce themselves during the show, but when it comes to herself, the cheers are very small.

In the past seven years, the seven days when the 2011 earthquake performance and foreign affairs were suspended were the longest vacation since she joined AKB48.

Because she really likes AKB48 so much, Minami Takahashi uses an inhuman level of effort to overcome her shortcomings and allow herself to gain a foothold in this team and make AKB48 better. At the same time, after getting guidance from Yasusu Akimoto, he decided to change himself, and after Ayumi Orii left, he took over the burden of captaincy who he thought he would never be able to do well. She struggled to move forward without stopping, and all the members felt pressure to watch her almost never rest, and worked together for their dreams. She overcame the shortcomings of her character, spoke on behalf of AKB48, led the team in a circle, encouraged the members, carried the heaviest burden with a high sense of responsibility and became the bond that maintained all the members, led everyone to make continuous progress, and became the most respected person by many members, and was described by many people as perfect. By the time AKB48 became famous, Minami Takahashi was already the leader relied on by all the members, but she still ran with all the members running towards a higher goal with all the members in a state of full sprint.

I feel that no matter how hard I try, there will be no results and give up the pursuit of my dreams. The team's lack of identity, sense of belonging, and even disgust is a common depression in Japanese society, and the process of Minami Takahashi's desperate pursuit of her dreams, the contrast between her own poor basic conditions and her great success, has been slapped in the faces of self-pitying people, and in turn has moved more and more people to become her fans, earning her the status of a national idol. "As long as you work hard, your dreams can come true. This is a well-known false proposition, but AKB48 is to reawaken the courage of Japanese society to pursue their dreams by constantly making this false proposition true, and through the success of ordinary people.

Takahashi gently wiped away her tears.

"Takahashi, actually, I think you're too tired, and sometimes I feel sorry for you. Look at how much the cheeky guys Kojima and Flowey are living. There is still time to trick me into betting on horses. Zhu Zi quipped.

"Teacher Zhu Zi, why don't I let you buy it three times, I think you are a strong compliment to my vision, and I am very dissatisfied. Yona Kojima said with a pout.

"Takahashi, do you see it? With this kind of brazenness, you can't learn it in your life. Zhu Zi said.
