After a long time, Oksunami nodded slightly.

"Ma Youyou, you are the same. One day, Yuko and Takahashi will graduate from AKB, and you will have to learn to move forward as AKB's ace. The pressure you will face will be on all sides, the fierce competition in the ranks, the media opinion, and sudden scandals like this Kashiwagi time. Without strong pressure, you are likely to collapse. ”

"Brother Kagawa, don't worry, I dare to say the rest. But I don't have any problems with my ability to work under pressure. Manami Okumanami smiled confidently.

"Me too!" Mayu Watanabe is not far behind.

"I believe in you, it's coming soon. The company will hold an annual meeting in a few days, so you can come over if you have time. Kagawa Yu said with a smile

On the 10th, AKB48's first draft meeting will be held soon, for this draft meeting. The outside world is not very optimistic, and even many fans of netizens are ready to boycott this draft meeting, coupled with the recent Yuki Kashiwagi scandal. This draft meeting can be said to be full of bad reviews.

But even so, the scale of this draft meeting was very grand. The draft meeting will also be broadcast live on NTV.

Ten teams from AKB48, NMB48, HKT48 and SKE48 will draw the top prizes.

Minami Takahashi, Nami Okumana, Mayu Watanabe, and Minami Minami Minegishi will each represent the four teams A, K, B, and 4 on stage to select the draft jun, and these four are now the four oldest members of the entire AKB48G. It is worth mentioning that in Group K, both Yuko Oshima and Reina Matsui, who is the captain, chose to let Nami Okuma draw the draft pick

Both girls know that the future of Team K can only be Nami Okumana, and both of them have to graduate from AKB

Idea. So both members consciously or unintentionally build momentum for Nami Okujo.

Group B is even simpler, after Mai Shiraishi returns. The leader and ACE of this team undoubtedly belong to Mayu Watanabe and Mai Shiraishi. This year, Mayu Watanabe hopes that he can reach the top of AKB, and as a friend of Mayu Watanabe, Mai Shiraishi will certainly support his partner. So such an opportunity belongs to Mayu Watanabe.

As for Group A, although Yasuya Akimoto would like to let Haruka Shimazaki draw the draft pick, how could it be Haruka Shimazaki with Minami Takahashi, the most qualified member of the entire AKB48 group, here.

The girls who participated in the AKB48 draft this time were selected from all over the country. In the end, after three reviews, 29 girls were qualified; One or two of the 10 teams of the AKB48 group will select one or two of the 29 girls, and none of the girls who are selected will become graduate students and work towards the path of full-fledged members.

The audition will be held at the Prince Hotel in Tokyo, and 1,000 fans will be able to witness the birth of AKB48 talent in person

Kagawa Yu and Yasu Akimoto sat opposite each other, and the two of them hadn't sat together for a long time.

"What a pleasing system for the AKB draft meeting. When the general election and the guessing tournament first came out, although there was some controversy, it was more of an expectation. The draft meeting is aimed at girls who are not famous, and not many people will like this. There are many people who say that Akimoto-san and AKB are just grandstanding right now. Kagawa Yu said lightly.

"Has the AKB received less criticism? You also know that as AKB has become more and more popular, there are so many things that each of them needs to pay attention to now. Recently, this incident of Kashiwagi has hit AKB so hard. Even if he knew that the draft meeting system was likely to go bankrupt, he had to implement it. Akimoto sighed.

Kagawa Yu took a deep look at Yasu Akimoto.

"You're a businessman now, and a few years ago you might have been running AKB as your own dream, your own philosophy. But as AKB's popularity has grown and its commercial value has increased, you've started to abandon your original idea. Now you are using AKB, or the AKB48 community as a tool to make money. AKB is no longer the AKB you once was, and you are not the ambitious Yasu Akimoto you used to be. Kagawa Yu's tone was a little cold.

Akimoto looked at Kagawa Yu, with a trace of sadness and a little loneliness in his eyes.

"Maybe you're right, I've become a businessman. I was full of expectations for this group of children, and I still remember how young Maeda, Takahashi, Kojima, and Oshima were when they first participated in the audition. Who would have thought that this group of ordinary girls would become national idols. The proudest thing in my life is that I have made a group of ordinary girls become national idols, and I have also created a miracle in the Asian music scene! I believe many years later. All those who follow RB music will not ignore the name AKB48. But you don't know the pain and embarrassment of sitting in my place, and I need to balance the interests of all parties. I'm 55 years old, and 55 should belong to the old man. Yasudo Akimoto.

Kagawa Yu sighed slightly, he didn't know what Akimoto Yasu's difficulties were; Yasu Akimoto has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, has made quite good achievements, and has also set up quite a lot of rivals. "Weekly Bunharu" and Denis's Fujishima faction are all recognized as Akimoto Yasu's old enemies.

Yasusu Akimoto showed this twilight expression on his grandmother when he bought it. It will make people feel sad more or less, no matter how famous you are when you are young, no matter how much you have a lot of money, it will become boring in a ruthless time. The ambitions of youth are slowly dissipating.

"If one day the AKB really reaches the most dangerous time, I will select someone to help the AKB." After Kagawa Yu finished speaking, he walked straight out the door.

"Kagawa-san." Yasu Akimoto, who was a little stunned just now, shouted.

Kagawa Yu turned around. looked at Akimoto Yasusu suspiciously.

"Thank you!"

Kagawa Yu smiled, waved his hand at Yasusu Akimoto, and left the room on his own.

"Nothing lasts forever, and AKB48 is no different. AKB may soon be in decline, but if you don't ignore AKB's achievements and influence over the years, you will eventually understand. Akimoto Yasu looked at Kagawa Yu's departing back and muttered. (To be continued.) )
