Chapter 402: AKB Red and White Song Party

"I see, Brother Kagawa." Onami Okunami nodded obediently.

Kagawa Yu turned to Yuko Oshima again, "Yuko, I know you have a good relationship with the members of the second generation, but I hope you don't get involved in this kind of thing anymore, so it will also affect your reputation, I hope this is the last time, do you understand?" ”

"Kagawa-san, I understand." Yuko Oshima said softly, in fact, she had already understood the seriousness of this matter in her heart, if it wasn't for Tomomi Kawasai's proposal, she wouldn't have come here to ask Kagawa Yu for help.

"I have long known that AKB may go through a process of prosperity and decline after reaching the top, but I didn't expect your descent to go so fast. And it's really disappointing that this kind of mess will appear on the old members, maybe next year AKB will be surpassed by Nogizaka. Kagawa Yu sighed softly.

The two girls, Yuko Oshima and Nami Okumana, were shocked when they heard this, although the two girls had realized the sense of crisis that Nogizaka 46 brought them, but they were far from putting Nogizaka 46 on an equal footing with themselves in their hearts. Listening to Kagawa Yu's words, the two girls can be regarded as real opponents of Nogizaka 46, opponents in the true sense of equality.

"Brother Kagawa, do you think AKB still has any hope of returning to the top?" Onami Okunami couldn't help but ask.

"Of course there is, but now it seems that this hope is very small, there are too many parasites among the current AKB members, old members, young members and even graduate students, many of them did not put in the corresponding effort and sweat when they obtained extremely high benefits, so they had a slack mind, so many of them thought about how to use the AKB platform to get the maximum benefit for themselves, but you didn't disappoint me. It's still that kind of hard work, and after Oku, Mayouyou, and a few of them can take the lead alone, you will also choose to graduate from AKB, and now AKB has limited your development. Kagawa Yu was stunned.

Yuko Oshima thought about it for a long time before she said, "I'll think about it seriously, Kagawa-san." ”

After the three of them chatted for a while, Yuko Oshima and Nami Okuma left Kagawa Yu's office.

"Brother Yuko-sangkagawa must be disappointed, right?" In the car on the way back. Onami Okumanami asked suddenly.

"yes, I'm disappointed too, everyone has really changed a lot." Yuko Oshima said softly

After the Masuda Yuka scandal broke out, AKS and Yasushi Akimoto dealt with it very quickly. The next day, on the official website of AKS and the official website of AKB, they had already announced the decision to deal with the matter.

Yuka Masuda dismissed from AKB48!

However, the handling of this matter did not eliminate the impact of this incident on AKB48, both inside and outside the members of AKB were shaken and questioned, and there were too many things that did not go well at AKB this year, such as the Natsukai Hirashima incident at the beginning of the year, Atsuko Maeda's graduation announcement in March, the scandal of Rino Shihara in May, Tokyo Dome in August, and the recent cold record of Daikokaku. Plus the recent scandal time of Yuka Masuda.

Most people think that AKB has encountered a difficult period, or a painful period of renewal after Atsuko Maeda's graduation, but this labor pain period seems a little too long for this behemoth, and AKB48 ranked first in this year's list of artists who are most likely to disappear from the entertainment industry selected by a certain magazine!

You must know that last year, they were still on another list, the most popular artist! In just one year, AKB has gone from being admired by 10,000 people to being shouted at by almost everyone, and a large part of it is because of the frequent scandals among the members. Another aspect of the sharp decline in people's impression of them is that AKB has dominated the music scene for three years. People have become aesthetically fatigued with them, and many people are disgusted.

Yasu Akimoto and AKS are also a little powerless in the face of such a predicament, no matter how they prevent it, some things still happen, but there is a lot of comfort to him that the TOP members basically do not have such a thing, and their popularity has also climbed to varying degrees.

For example, at the top of this year's photo sales list. Yona Kojima ranked first with 220,000 copies sold, Mai Oshima ranked second with 200,000 copies, and Mai Shiraishi came in third, and her photo sales also sold nearly 180,000 copies. Seven of the top 10 members in this list are members of AKB48 or NMB48.

On November 23rd, the official website of AKS announced that this year's Red and White Song Festival will be held. Mariko Shinoda served as the leader of the red team, and Minami Takahashi served as the leader of the white team.

Girls such as Yuko Oshima, Nami Okumana, Reina Matsui, and Mai Shiraishi were in the red group, while members such as Mayu Watanabe, Yuki Kashiwagi, Matsui Jurina, and Haruka Shimazaki were in the white group, and the three sister groups SKE48, NMB48, and HKT48 were also divided into two teams.

The emcee is Sakai Masaaki and Maya Kobayashi.

There are also six judges for this year's AKB48 Red and White Song Festival, including Ye Kyoko, Ye Mika sisters, manga artists Kobayashi Yoshinori, Sawa Ho Nozomi, Iwasita Shima, and Nana Su.

The lineup of judges is also quite strong, and unlike last year, which was basically all AKB's own people, this year's lineup of judges is basically people who are not very familiar with AKB, except for Yoshifan Kobayashi. Like Sawa Hoki led the Japanese women's football team to win the World Cup last year, and won the silver medal at the London Olympics this year, becoming the most watched star in the sports world in the past two years, and Nana Suo is also very active in this year's major films and television, as for Iwashita Shima's old-timers, she can be a grandmother for many AKB members at her age.

Such a judging lineup can catch up with NHK's judging lineup, and it also makes many AKB fans look forward to this year's AKB48 Red and White Confrontation Song Festival, the only thing that may make some fans regret that Atsuko Maeda can no longer be seen in this year's Red and White Song Party, and the familiar voice of Atsuko Maeda can no longer be heard.

Atsuko Maeda has rarely participated in and commented on AKB affairs since she graduated, and she has not even said anything about the recent scandalous incident. (To be continued......)
