Chapter 63: Saving the Dream
Although Aoyama knew that Megumi Ohbori would be working very the last day of the album's sale, when he arrived at the scene, he realized that this girl was also too hardworking......
Because on this day, Megumi Ohbori will hold 5 consecutive "hugging parties" in Akihabara. This means that everyone who buys "Sweet Joint" at the event will receive a hug from her, as well as a sweet word in her ear.
Unfortunately, even so, there were only more than 30 guests who came to the scene for the first "hug party", and only more than 30 people attended the second one. If this continues, the sales target of 1,414 sheets will never be achieved.
Originally, at this time, Aoyama was going to buy the rest of the CDs, but Mariko stopped him: "Kosuke, don't worry, give me a chance to perform first." ”
"Do you want to buy it all?" asked Aoyama, a little puzzled.
Mariko pointed to Tomomi Kawanishi and Atsuko Maeda, who were standing next to Megumi Ohbori to help her distribute flyers at the door of the record store at this time, and said, "Even they can do it, and I, a good friend of Sister Ohri, can naturally do it." ”
With that, Mariko walked out from the corner where the two were hiding, walked generously to Megumi Ohori's side, and without saying a word, took the initiative to pick up a stack of leaflets and distribute them to the people passing by around and publicize them.
Seeing Mariko's move, Megumi Ohori said with some emotion: "Mariko, you are already a big star now, how can you still let you do this?"
In fact, Megumi Ohbori is telling the truth, because now the best mix in AKB is Mariko, a personal photo album has been released, a high-value contract for a big-name magazine has also been signed, and even when the sisters took the subway to catch the announcement, they already had a nanny car to pick them up, and even relied on her personal popularity to bring some attention and fan base to the whole team.
But Mariko replied disapprerovingly: "What's this? When I was in the café, didn't we just come out every day to hand out flyers, and when it comes to this, I'm a master!"
But what Mariko never expected was that her comforting words made Megumi Ohbori even more sad, because at the beginning, the two were obviously on the same starting line, both participated in the first batch of AKB48 auditions, and then they fell off the list, and then stayed together to work in the café to which the troupe belonged, and at that time Mariko came out with herself every day to distribute flyers to AKB48, which was not famous at all at the time.
However, now, he is already a nationally renowned rookie model, and he has returned to the street, in order to continue the dream that may be insignificant in the eyes of others, he once again distributed advertising paper to passers-by.
I hope that my efforts will finally move the world!" she thought, but when she returned to the event hungry, she prepared for the third "hug party". But I had to accept a new fact:
After a noon street publicity, there were only 20 more guests waiting for her to appear at the venue at the moment. Upon learning the news, Megumi Ohori collapsed on the spot.
In the venue, the host announced the start of the event and invited Megumi Ohbori to appear. But the audience couldn't see her for a long time.
At this time, Megumi Ohori was crying in the background. She knew that the event had already begun, and she had to greet the guests with smiles and hugs that had been specially cheered her on. But the tears could not be stopped. She tried to stop crying, but the harder she tried, the more she wanted to cry, the more she cried, the more she blamed herself, and the more she blamed herself, the more nervous she became......
If every profession has "occupational diseases", then in addition to the pain and fatigue fractures caused by dance practice, AKB48 also has their own occupational diseases. The name of this disease is "overbreathing".
Hyperrespiratory disorder is a physiological reaction that occurs only in situations of extreme psychological anxiety. Because they are too nervous, they can't feel their breathing, which can lead to nervous rapid breathing. This behavior causes excessive excretion of carbon dioxide from the lungs, causing an acid-base imbalance in the body and inducing "respiratory alkalosis".
Because the onset of hyperrespiratory syndrome is often accompanied by rapid heartbeat and palpitations, in severe cases, it may cause convulsions, shock, and even life-threatening conditions.
At that time, Megumi Ohhori's face was pale, and she was almost about to pass out. The staff quickly grabbed the paper bag next to her and fastened it to her nose and mouth to help the expelled carbon dioxide get back into her body.
Hearing this, Aoyama felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he said to Mariko, who had just come out to report to him: "Mariko, it's time to do it, if it goes on like this, I'm worried that this girl will go crazy!"
Mariko nodded and said, "Well, it's time too, I asked the host just now, and there are probably more than nine hundred left, Hongsuke, you just buy a whole number of a thousand." ”
So Aoyama slowly walked to the CD purchase office set up in the theater, and before he could speak, AKB Nozomi Kawasaki, who was a temporary guest sales lady (she also participated in the MV for Megumi Ori's "Sweet Bone Joint"), had already greeted him warmly: "Master, do you want to buy a CD? Please support Megumi Obori, please!"
Aoyama pointed to Megumi Ori, who had already wiped his eyes and returned to the stage like a warrior at this moment, and said, "I was just moved by this girl's spirit, so I plan to support her!"
"So how many are you going to buy?" In fact, there is nothing wrong with Nozomi Kawasaki's question, since it is support, then it must not be possible to buy only one, otherwise it is better to go to the record store to buy it. However, Aoyama's number surprised Nozomi Kawasaki, because she heard Aoyama say, "I'll buy a thousand!"
"How much do you say? I—I don't seem to hear clearly. Nozomi Kawasaki was shocked and stumbled.
"I'm talking about a thousand copies.,Didn't the host just say it.,Miss Ohbori still has nearly a thousand copies of sales to be able to save her dream.,For such a girl who is so persistent in her dreams.,I want to support her.。 Qingshan said quietly and lightly.
"But a thousand tickets cost a lot of money. "You must know that the price of a "Sweet Bone and Joint" is 1,300 yen, which is equivalent to nearly 80 yuan, although this is still a very low price in RB's single records, but 1,000 copies are different, that is nearly 80,000 yuan!
took out 80,000 yuan just to save a girl's dream, this monk is too rich! And he still looks so young, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels handsome and stylish, and suddenly Kawasaki Nozomi fell into boundless reverie......
