Mayu Watanabe is second, and Mai Shiraishi is the third, and after Tokyo Dome, she will become a member of Nogizaka 46 completely

From now on, there will be two less beautiful shadows on the stage of AKB, they were originally pink, and in the near future, they will become high cold purple.

Zhu Zi calmly watched the members celebrate, their sadness and their happiness were very real at this moment.

After this year's Tokyo Dome concert, Atsuko Maeda will graduate, and Mai Shiraishi and Reina Matsui will emigrate.

The golden generation of AKB48 will slowly wither, and the next time will be the era of young members such as Mayu Watanabe and Erika Ikuta.

Zhu Zi suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?Teacher Zhu Zi, are you a little reluctant to Sister Mayiyang and Reina-chan?" Ikuta Erika didn't know when she suddenly came behind Zhu Zi.

Zhu Zi glanced at Ikuta Erika, this girl's eyes were red, obviously she cried a lot today.

"Reluctance is definitely reluctance, but they always have to learn to fly alone. And after the two of them moved to Nogizaka 46, I can focus more on Nogizaka 46. Zhu Zi said lightly.

"Teacher Zhu Zi, if you say this, then I'm too sad, isn't there still me in AKB?"

"Actually, it's because of you that I pay more attention to Nogizaka 46. Zhu Zi said with a smile.

“……”

"Teacher Zhu Zi, to be honest, were you moved to tears when Sister Mayiyang made that speech just now, I saw that there was no change in the expression on the big screen? Erika Ikuta took the initiative to change the subject.

"That's because I'm good at acting, in fact, I'm already moved in my heart and don't know what to say, but on the surface, I still have to pretend to be indifferent. Do you know whose loss it is that I didn't enter the showbiz?" Zhu Zi said suddenly.

Erika Ikuta shook her head.

"It's the loss of art, just as Chaplin didn't win an Oscar, it's a loss for the Oscars, not a loss for Chaplin. I'm such a gifted genius. Alas...... Sometimes I want to slap myself in the face, how can I be so good? Zhu Zi sighed.

Ikuta Erika was dumbfounded, is this still the very cold teacher Zhu Zi that she is familiar with?

"Teacher Zhu Zi, I finally understand why you can take down Sister Sesame Sauce?"

"Why?"

"Your skin is too thick, Sister Sesame-chan can't be taken down. Ikuta Erika looked disgusted.

Zhu Zi gently patted Ikuta Erika's little head: "What do you know, it was your sister who chased me first, okay, this fully shows how good my personal charm is, how good it is." ”

Ikuta Erika was completely speechless, she could only sigh that she was still too young, she thought she was thick-skinned enough, but compared to Teacher Zhu Zi, it was really a small thing.

………………

The day after the general election, it began to be heavily reported by various media outlets. For example, on June 7, the Nikkan Sports magazine published a large-scale special feature on a special paper.

Fuji Television's live programs achieved an average rating of 18.7% in the Kanto region and 17.9% in the Kansai region. The average viewership in the Nagoya area, the birthplace of SKE48, is as high as 21.5%. In terms of the highest ratings of the moment, the Kanto region was the highest at 28.0% when Rino Tsuhara gave a testimonial, while the Kansai region was the highest at 29.4% (32.4% in the Nagoya area) when Mayu Watanabe was announced. From June 4th to 9th, among the many news in the Japanese entertainment industry, the news about the general election of the selection was broadcast for the longest time.

The live stream was viewed 3 million times, the highest number of connections in Japan, with the highest number of connections exceeding 320,000 and the number of "+1s" on Google+ exceeding 290,000. As of 10 a.m. on June 7, there were more than 9 million messages on Sina Weibo related to the general election.

There are some activities in society that imitate the selection of the general election. Hiroshima Prefecture held a "mascot character election", and many other games held a character election based on this concept, and the winning characters were given special benefits, such as "Flash Kagura Burst -The Girls of the Red Lotus-", "CONCEPTION 俺の子供を産んでくれ!", and many more. From June to September of the same year, the Fukuoka City Museum held an exhibition called "Ghosts: The Complete Works of Yokai Paintings", in which visitors voted for their favorite yokai in the TKI48 General Election. The Hubei Wild Bird Center in Shiga Prefecture held an event called KBC48, in which visitors could choose their favorite birds.

Economic commentator Takuro Morinaga estimated the economic impact of the general election at 12 billion yen, taking into account CD sales and live advertising costs.

Yasu Akimoto, the chief producer of AKB48, summed up the election after the election, saying that he could see the growth of each member in this election, and he was moved that the members were able to think about their own position, and praised the members' testimonials. Jun Tamura, who was watching the London Boots No. 1 and No. 2 Tamura, was also very touched and made him understand that each member had their own ideas to join AKB48. Entertainer Terry Ito (テリーIto) thinks that the testimonials about the fall in the rankings are more interesting and can convey the reality to the audience, and that the unyielding appearance of these members gives people courage. The Internet also expressed appreciation for Mariko Shinoda's testimonial on stage.

Of course, more people and the media focused on the testimonials of Reina Matsui and Mai Shiraishi.

The Akashi family's saury said in the center of the program that Mai Shiraishi was shocked.

Hiroyuki Ariyoshi, on the other hand, said that it was very risky for Zhu Zi to let the two best members move to Nogizaka 46.

As in previous years, the general election was not a one-person-one-vote election, with criticisms such as "ranking does not equal popularity," "a minority that buys CDs in large quantities is more advantageous than a majority that votes for only one vote," and "throwing away the CD box when they run out of votes." In addition, some people said that although they liked AKB48, they did not like the "crazy noise of the general election". For example, anchor Tomoaki Ogura mentioned on Fuji TV that he was watching a TBS volleyball show at the time, and there were comments on the Internet that he "didn't understand what was good about this at all". [The Japan Times commented that the general election did not deserve so much exposure in the media, and that it was "one of the best tricks played by AKB48", "turning meaningless popularity voting into something meaningful for people and making money."]
