Chapter 809: AKB's Dusk
In terms of participating members, all 25 members of NGT48 participated in this song, except for Yuki Kashiwagi, who has been working part-time since AKB48. The center of the new song is Team NIII member Moeka Takakura, and the two sides are Minan Kato, who often performs at NGT48 and appears in concerts, and Satomi Kitahara, who is the leader of NGT48 and moved from ske48. The detailed list of participating members is as follows:
Team NIII: Yuka Ogino, Ryomi Kokuma, Minami Kato, Riei Kitahara, Anki Sato, Riko Sugawara, Moeka Takakura, Ayaka Ono, Rika Nakai, Jasmine Nishiata, Rena Hasegawa, Hiyo Honma, Saka Murakumo, Maho Yamaguchi, Suzumi Yamada
NGT48 Graduate Students: Yua Otaki, Yuria Kakuta, Aina Kusakabe, Reina Kiyoji, Mayo Takahashi, Takeka Nakamura, Miharuka Nara, Nanako Nishimura, Ayaka Mizusawa, Ayami Miyajima
In terms of business cooperation, "Max Toki No. 315" is the "Heartbeat, TYO Chapter" of the TV and station advertisements for the travel kit "TYO" broadcast by the JR East Niigata Branch in Niigata Prefecture. The commercial also stars Moeka Takakura, and features members such as Minami Kato, Rika Nakai, Ayaka Ono, Satoei Kitahara, Jasmine Nishiata, and Yuka Ogino.
Also in March, Minami Takahashi chose to graduate from AKB48, and for many people an era is over.
There is only one Minami Takahashi in this world, and there will be no second Minami Takahashi, and the girl known as the soul of AKB has finally left her favorite stage.
The golden age of AKB has really reached the twilight stage.
Her graduation marked the end of the first chapter for AKB48, there is no doubt about it. Looking at the unprecedented number of graduates who came to greet her, whether it was the audience who said goodbye in tears, or the members on the stage, they all knew very well that this page had really been turned over. In the past ten years, Minami Takahashi has never been the most dazzling member, but she has become the most important pillar early on, and everyone relies on it. In the past, every TOP departure inevitably brought a little turmoil, but almost everyone will feel that since everyone is still here, then AKB48 will not be a problem. No matter when, as long as she is still here, whether it is the members, the staff, or the meal, she will feel very relieved, and no matter what happens, if it is her, she will definitely be able to handle it. This trust is a compliment to her, and it is also a burden on her shoulders, blocking the crucial step from 0 to 1 that she could have taken forward.
Compared with Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima, Rino Fingerhara, and Mayu Watanabe, she has a strong identity as a team system, so she has a stronger color of the times. As a true leader, she is one of the most decorated members of the iconic miracle that is unique in Japanese history, and one of the most representative members of AKB48 who owns her.
AKB48 of the Takahashi Minami era is the first chapter of the whole story. Her graduation marked the end of the best era of AKB48, and her departure announced that the members would no longer have the umbrella to retreat to, and would have to write a new chapter entirely with their own hands.
And after this separator, only Yona Kojima stayed on that stage one by one. When she leaves, because the role positioning has created a different historical status, I am afraid that there will be an inexplicable bitterness and embarrassment accompanied by it. Still, Kojima still has the time and opportunity to create something more different from what it used to be.
At the end of the solo concert on March 26, for many fans, Yokohama Arena laughed, at least it can't be compared with Atsuko Maeda and Tomomi Itano's graduation venues. CON of about 30,000 people has seen it before, and it can still hold the scene, I don't know if this is the reason why I am not used to watching the open air for the first time, I always feel that something is wrong, simply put, it is a loose and sagging look, which makes people very emotional.
This is probably the most humble of AKB's graduation concerts, in terms of hardware, the farthest small stage has no lights most of the time, and the lights on the stage on the right side of the middle cross stage are completely unlit when they should be lit and the whole song is dark, which is equivalent to many times when the members dance in the dark. And what's worse is that the basic lighting outside the main stage is illuminated from the stage diagonally upward, and the lighting effect is quite poor, not only does not give enough light to the members on the stage, but also interferes with the audience's line of sight.
The song unilateral, the new chief superintendent's first solo con, it can be seen that he wants to show something different from the past. Just looking at the selected songs, it can't be said that the repertoire of the concert on the 26th is very weak, and Shonan, which I haven't seen for a long time, is indeed a surprise, and I can be impressed without fighting with a tank as a C. From the point of view of novelty, including the design of the era and singing a lot of non-48 series idol songs, the idea is indeed very different from the past, due to poor sales, there are a large number of passers-by and spectators sitting in the stadium, singing songs they have never heard before, and there is a powerful meal next to them, and it may be difficult for them to change their meals for 3 hours in the cold wind. With the physical conditions already determined, I found it really difficult to make a drastic change at the graduation concert.
On the 27th, the Eastern and Western armies fought together during the day, regardless of whether there was a preset script or not, the MC's stalk was much more interesting than on the 26th, and the selection of songs was more in line with the needs of the concert.
By the evening of the 27th, everything really exceeded expectations. For the graduation concert, if it is briefly summarized, it is - Divine Comedy continuous singing, C-position dominance, fast costume change, and a book of satisfaction. Although due to various reasons, the venue conditions are the worst in the graduation ceremony of the TOP members so far, but if you do it with your heart, the gap can be made up or even surpassed.
Everyone is here to see her off, and since the effect of a large venue like Dongdan and National cannot be realized, it can make the part that the audience wants to see the most unprecedentedly enriched. All the tracks are out, all the tracks are all C, and the whole song list is continuous, and if you don't pull out all the AKB48 tracks and compare them one by one, I can't think of any song that is more worthy of performance. SURE, IT'S A BIT OF A SHAME NOT TO HAVE JANE DOE, BUT SHE'S GOT TOO MANY UNITY SONGS AND REPRESENTATIVE SINGLES IN THE GROUP, AND IT'S NOT INAPPROPRIATE FOR HER OWN SINGLE NOT TO SING ON THE STAGE WHERE SHE GRADUATED FROM AKB48.
