Chapter 201: World Expo
The outstanding sales of AKB48's new single have made their general election even more eye-catching, whether last year's king Atsuko Maeda can successfully defend the title, and whether Yuko Oshima and Mai Oshima, two challengers to the throne, can overthrow Atsuko Maeda's rule, etc., a series of focuses have hyped up this general election!
On June 1st, AKB48 officially announced that it would participate in this year's World Expo held in China's magic capital, and this time there were only seven members who went to China, namely Atsuko Maeda, Itano Tomome, Watanabe Mayu, Mai Shiraishi, Reina Matsui, Okumanami and Kashiwagi Yuki Six girls, basically belong to the best group of AKB members, and the other members are either because of lack of popularity, or because there are foreign affairs activities that cannot be staggered, So the front lineup that can be sent out has basically been dispatched.
Of course, in recent times, it is not only AKB47 that has attracted the most attention, but also Aina Ashida! This six-year-old girl was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 65th Japanese Drama Academy Awards with her outstanding and touching performance in "Mother"!
Not only that, but on June 5th, the movie "Confession" starring Aina Ashida will also be officially released, the starring role of the famous singer Takako Matsu, and the producer of the movie is BLUESKY!
The name of this movie is "Confession", the plot of the movie is very simple, at the class meeting of the first grade B class, the words of the head teacher Yuko Moriguchi made all the students stunned. A few months ago, Mr. Moriguchi's only daughter was found dead in the school's swimming pool, which the police eventually determined was an accident. But she knew that the real culprits were actually two students in her class. Moriguchi announced to Juvenile Law Prisoner A and Prisoner B, "This matter will not end here, and I will punish you in a way beyond imagination." Moriguchi immediately quit his job. Prisoner A came to school as usual, but Prisoner B stopped going to school. The new homeroom teacher is a hot-blooded young man named Yoshiki Terada. He found that there was bullying in his class. And the target of everyone's bullying is the prisoner A, who has a top academic performance. Terada harshly condemned this behavior, believing that someone had provoked the incident out of jealousy. For Prisoner B, Terada decided to make a home visit to persuade him to return to school.
Ever since he was frightened by Moriguchi-sensei's announcement, Prisoner B has been hiding in his room and not only does not go out. Don't even get a haircut or take a shower. The mother who doted on her son was very sad to see him become like this. She was very dissatisfied with the teacher and firmly believed that her son was not responsible for the death of the head teacher's daughter. He was just tricked by a bad friend and helped him a little.
Aina Ashida plays the role of a little girl who was killed in the play, although there are few scenes, but the little girl's acting skills still make everyone in the crew praise.
On the same day. BLUESKY ANNOUNCED A MESSAGE ON ITS OFFICIAL WEBSITE. The company has officially reached a cooperation agreement with Disney Studios, and the two companies will jointly produce and distribute a 3D animated film within the next year, and the director of the film has been determined to be Kagawa Yu!
Others, including dubbing and technology, were not announced to the public, and soon Disney confirmed the news. This news sparked a heated discussion on social networks.

"Kagawa-san, it looks like I'm going to really march into Hollywood, I'm looking forward to it!"
"Speaking of our country's films over the years, there are basically no outstanding works except for "The Undertaker" and Hayao Miyazaki's animated films. It really makes Jean feel a little nostalgic for the past. ”
"It's not just movies, but there are also no moving works in Japanese dramas and music, and to be honest, I'm looking forward to the rise of AKB48 and Nogi Ita46. It's better than those Obas in South Korea who have been dominating the record market! ”
"Actually, I'm more optimistic about the development of Hoshino-san, since Ayaka-san temporarily stopped acting activities due to illness, Hoshino-san is the only singer we can come up with."
"Shouldn't we be talking about movies? ”
"In terms of movies and Japanese dramas, I basically don't have any hope now, I hope Kagawa-san can surprise us this time."
"I think Kagawa-san will definitely use his ability to prove himself, and for a person as good as Kagawa-san, I think Hollywood is where he belongs."
"I think so too, Kagawa-san would be better if he could host his own variety show."
"In terms of Kagawa-san's character, it is estimated that there is no hope that Kagawa-san has basically put all his experience on the company now, and he is rarely seen in public again, and he will definitely appear in the AKB general election this time."
"That's right."
Kagawa Yu didn't know about the heated discussion on social networks, but he was now focusing on the AKB48 general election, which attracted more attention than the last time, so a series of things had to be done as meticulously as possible, such as each camera in the venue, and the music when each member appeared on the stage.
The most important thing is how to arrange the positions of the members, according to the ranking of last year's general election, the top of the rankings sit together, take Group A as an example, sitting in the front row should be Atsuko Maeda, Mai Oshima, Mariko Shinoda, Yona Kojima, Minami Takahashi, Group K is the same Yuko Oshima, Tomomi Itano, Megumi Ono, Mai Shiraishi, Nami Okumoto, and a few girls sit in the front row, although Ami Sato has a high ranking in the general election, but because of seniority, she sits in the second row. Group B is composed of several members such as Mayu Watanabe, Reina Matsui, Yuki Kashiwagi, Sae Miyazawa, Tomomi Kawasai, and Yuka Masuda.
SKE48 including Matsui Jurina, Kitahara Riei, and AKB48's graduate students sat in the last position, although Akimoto Yasushi wanted to move Matsui Jurina and Kitahara Riei's position to the front, but under Kagawa Yu's strong opposition, he finally dismissed this idea.
Of course, there is no need to prepare for the positions of some members who cannot be present, such as last year's Masuda Yuka, who was absent from the general election due to personal reasons, and this year, there will definitely be members who will be absent from the general election for various reasons. The members have also been very busy recently, mainly busy with the general election, and a small group of four girls, such as Atsuko Maeda, Tomomi Itano, Reina Matsui, and Mai Shiraishi, has also been formed, but these have not yet been officially certified.
