Half an hour after the end of the first performance of AKB48, AKB Theater. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

24 girls are still standing on the stage.

Li Youtai crossed his arms and stood in front of them.

Kazuhiko Sato, Yumi Natsu, Izumi Sakai, and Shiho Watanabe, the director of AKB Brokerage, all recused themselves.

……

"Yo, do you really want to be eliminated?"

Shiho Watanabe, who used to be one of the members of the selection and is now the selection person, obviously does not want any of the 24 girls to be eliminated. If it weren't for seeing with her own eyes how these girls who were about her age or much younger than her had come over in the past two months, she wished that AKB48 had as few members as possible. Are you kidding? By the side of her prospective boyfriend Li Youtai, how could she let go of so many scourges. Don't talk about Hirashima Natsumi, let's just talk about that Takahashi Minami, listen to my father, that's the daughter of Uncle Keisuke Takahashi, and I also knew Yu when he was a child. If it weren't for what her father told her, she wouldn't have known that this very good-looking Lori would have such a leg with You! It's so deep hidden! At the beginning, she made up her mind that one by one, she must be expelled all.

But now, not now!

Women, always very emotional.

This sentence is quite effective when placed on Shiho Watanabe, who is only eighteen years old.

Now Watanabe Shiho only hopes that these girls who are like her, but have a stronger will than her, can be left behind.

Li Youtai heard her worried tone, but nodded very seriously.

Then he handed her the booklet in his hand.

"Why don't I go and announce the results for me?"

"Don't~ I don't want it!" Shiho Watanabe became a deserter first.

And then it was Kazuhiko Sato who became a deserter, the reason is, people are old, and their waists are not good, Yutai, you have to be considerate and considerate of the hardships of the elderly, so it is still up to you, the chief producer, to announce the elimination of this matter.

Didn't you jump up and down yesterday? Why is it that at the critical moment, the waist is not good? Don't do something you shouldn't have done last night!

Kazuhiko Sato pouted his head, he loved it, anyway, if he wanted me to be this black-faced person, he couldn't do it.

Unless your elimination list is empty!

Xia Zhengong's words were black-faced and walked away without saying a word.

If she wants to eliminate the children she has personally raised, she can't do it!

Just before returning, she was still holding back tears with this group of children!

Now it's time for her to brutally kick people out!

She's a woman, she's a woman!

She doesn't have that hard, messy heart yet!

As for the last Sakai Spring Water, Sakai Spring Water is interested in seeing who among the 24 girls will be eliminated. It's just that Li Youtai pushed her out directly! As a cancer patient, I should have the awareness of a cancer patient, and if my emotions fluctuate too much, I can't afford the consequences. Then the Sakai spring water was directly pushed out by Li Youtai!

This little bastard!

……

Twenty-four girls held hands and stood nervously on the stage.

Is it qualified? They don't know.

Even though they could hear the shouts from the audience under the stage, even if the echo was still ringing in their ears, they couldn't remember what they had done on stage just half an hour ago. Yes, they almost forgot to introduce themselves after the performance.

It should be, it should not have been done according to the perfect idea!

That's how it should be!

Although I think so in my heart, no one knows how far I have played on the stage!

Takahashi Minami doesn't know, Atsuko Maeda doesn't know, Narita Risa doesn't know, Kojima Yona doesn't know, Urano Kazumi doesn't know...... None of the members knew it.

The only thing they know now is that the chief producer Yousang is going to announce the final elimination list!

How many will there be, and who will it be? Could it be me? Probably not!

Questions swirled in their minds, and they could not be dispersed for a long time until the final answer was revealed.

"Some of you may know my story, some of you may not. So, before announcing the final results, let me tell you what I've done over the past year. My name is Lee Yu-tae, a graduate of the second class of the third year of Kanda High School in Tokyo, my interest is music, and my dream is to become an artist in the field of music. In my third year of high school, Hikaru Asada and I formed the band X-Blocks, and we performed in the underground live in Tokyo all year round, and we became famous in Tokyo. It's just that our fame has never been able to support us to become a signed artist of a music company!

A year ago, because I couldn't get an offer from a music company for a long time, I told Xiaoguang that please allow me to leave Japan, and I want to go to the United States to see a new world! They said they were going on a graduation trip to the United States, but in fact, they thought, what is the point of staying in this place where you will never be able to achieve your dreams? This kind of tormented life is definitely not what I should live. If you want to go to the United States, you can get opportunities all over the United States! I'm just excited. However, on the first day I arrived in the United States, I regretted it! I don't know English at all, so if that's the case, how should I communicate with Americans? How exactly is the problem of survival solved? The most important point is that I don't have any money at all.

Fleeing from a place where he thought he couldn't achieve his dreams, he came to another place where he thought he could achieve his dreams, only to encounter a problem that was difficult to solve even to survive.

Standing at the crossroads of life, am I really doing the wrong multiple-choice question?

Just because there is no money, it is simply impossible to buy a return ticket.

What should I do?

I picked up my guitar and in New York, from Fifth Avenue to Sixth Avenue, to Central Avenue to Washington Park, I was singing to make a living. Then, I earned enough money to buy a ticket back to Japan.

But is it really just fleeing the United States?

No, never! I have already escaped from Japan once, I have become a coward once, and this time, I will not run away again anyway. In the process of becoming a street performer, I went from a layman who didn't speak English at all to a torn boy who had no problem communicating with me, and I told myself that if I could cross the United States in this kind of torn English, I would return to Japan again, and I would be able to win the favor of the music company and make my debut as a singer.

Then, from New York to Pennsylvania, to Ohio, to Indiana, to Illinois, to Missouri and Oklahoma, to Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, and then, I made it to California!

Half a year ago, I returned to Japan, and after 20 auditions for Being Music, I made my debut as the lead singer of Hikari and Yu!

However, the official debut and the record sales were not the things I was most happy about. What I am most happy about is that I myself in the United States, where I have no idea what the future will be, in that strange land, I still persist, I still work hard, and through hard work, I finally recognized myself.

Now that I think back to it, what comes to mind is not the debut thing, not the 50W sales thing, not the Oricon sales weekly list champion, not the joyful and smooth things, but the things that come to my mind the most, but when I was in the United States, in that unfamiliar world, isolated, anxiously struggling, thinking about how to survive all day long, what comes to my mind the most, but by Being Music Company once, onceAgain, again and again, again and again.

These things are still fresh in my memory today.

However, didn't I succeed in persevering at that time?

At that time, wasn't I a successful effort?

At that time, didn't I succeed and didn't escape?

On the streets of the United States, I am working hard, even if I grit my teeth, even if I shed tears, I must hold on to the little faith I have left, and I will never admit defeat!

When I think of these things now, infinite power will spring up in my heart!

Two months ago, when I saw you for the first time, Teacher Xia said to me, Xiao Nan is not good, Ah Jiang is not good, Ma Lizi is not good, and Sister Hui is not good! In Mr. Xia's eyes, no one has the potential to be an idol.

But now, Teacher Xia told me that she couldn't bear to fire any of you.

Yes, in addition to me, there is one more person in the world who understands this truth, and there is a miracle called hard work.

Any idea what I'm going to say to you?

Congratulations, you've all been accepted! ”
