Chapter 279: Reika Sakurai

As the captain of Nogizaka 46, Reika Sakurai's personality is a little soft. When she was just appointed by Kagawa Yu as the captain of Nogizaka 46, it caused a lot of controversy, but later it turned out that Reika Sakurai was indeed the most suitable captain for Nogizaka, and in the selection of "the best captain" in some magazines, Reika Sakurai even surpassed Arashi's Ono Tomo, AKB48 Takahashi Minami and SMAP Nakai Masahiro in the first place, you can imagine how prominent her captain image is in the hearts of fans.

Kagawa Yu went to the Budokan on the afternoon of the 2nd, and this was the first concert of Nogizaka 46, and he had to pay attention. And in all fairness, he has really not paid much attention to Nogizaka 46 for so many years, which makes him full of guilt in the hearts of the girls in Nogizaka.

Recently, he has been thinking about something that can make Nogizaka 46 quickly close the distance with AKB48, and the reason why AKB48 has grown rapidly into a national idol in just two years is because of Atsuko Maeda and Yuko Oshima. In addition to the rapid growth of Minami Takahashi, Tomomi Itano and others, it is also due to the implementation of the general election system. The introduction of the general election system allowed fans to participate in the competition among the members, which also stimulated the enthusiasm of the fans, and the increase in sales of AKB48's singles gathered a lot of popularity for the members, and the general election system gave AKB48 a sudden rise to the focus of the entire entertainment industry.

Nogizaka 46 is now missing a breaking point, a breaking point that quickly allows them to grab the attention of the entertainment world.

After coming to the budokan, Kagawa Yu found that the members of Nogizaka 46 were still training hard, and under the leadership of Sakurai Reika, the girls were constantly reviewing their dance moves.

Ikuta Erika is still so quiet, and the same age as her Nakamoto Hiyaka and Akimoto Manatsu are much more active. Kagawa Yu, who was silently watching from the side, heard the laughter of two girls like silver bells from time to time.

"These kids are pretty good." Inoue didn't know when he had come to Kagawa Yu's side.

"Very good, I'm sorry for these kids in the past few years. In three years, only five of their singles were released, and there was only one variety show titled; The most important thing is that I haven't done anything for this group of girls until now. Kagawa Yu's tone was full of apology.

"This group of children is still full of expectations for Kagawa-san and himself." Inoue said.

Kagawa Yu pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Let the people in the company create a script for this group of children as soon as possible, sports type, hot-blooded, and touching." ”

Inoue was stunned for a moment. Then he laughed out loud.

"I'll try to arrange it, but the director"

"I will be the director myself, and Inouue-san will treat these girls like his own daughters." Kagawa Yu said with a smile.

"It's been three years, and I've already thought of them as my daughters." Inoue looked relieved.

Kagawa Yu patted his shoulder lightly, and instead of speaking, he walked towards the girls who were training. When Reika Sakurai saw Kagawa Yu coming, she immediately asked her partners to stop training and hurriedly formed a team.

"Kagawa-san!"

"Sit down, you've been training for so long, you don't have to be so restrained." Kagawa Yu waved his hand.

The girls looked at each other. But in the end, everyone finally sat on the ground very obediently.

"I didn't expect our cute little princess to grow a lot taller." Kagawa Yu looked at Nakamoto Riya and smiled, and the little girl stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed.

"Ikuta, you are the same age as Nakamoto, but the personalities of the two of you are really worlds apart, her personality is lively, and you are very quiet; How have you been studying lately? Kagawa glanced at Ikuta Erika who was sitting quietly in place.

"Report to Kagawa-sensei, my studies are not bad, and I will not disappoint the teacher." Erika Ikuta said very confidently.

Kagawa Yu nodded with satisfaction.

"Sakurai. It's been a hard time for you in the past few years. ”

Reika Sakurai's eyes were slightly red, "Kagawa-san." That's what I'm supposed to do. ”

"I would like to apologize to you for so many years, I have neglected all of you for so many years, but you still choose to trust me, I am very touched, and I would like to express my gratitude to all of you! Thank you for trusting me so much, I promise you. From now on, our goal is to pull AKB48 off the throne! I don't know if you have confidence?! Kagawa Yu bowed deeply to the girls.

"Yes!" The girls replied aloud.

"Well, you shouldn't have eaten after training for so long! Let the staff bring the bento here. Kagawa Yu said with a smile.

I have to say that the benefits of BLUESKY are very good, and the members' lunches are very rich; And the number is very large, so girls don't have to worry about going hungry.

Kagawa Ha specially asked for a night of spicy seafood ramen. In the empty martial arts hall, he and the girls ate with relish.

For the next few days, Kagawa Yu stayed at the Budokan.

On September 5th, Nogizaka 46's first concert was held at the Budokan Hall, which attracted more than 20,000 spectators.

The concert lasted for two days, and the fans on the first day of the concert gave the members of Nogizaka 46 a big surprise. The 20,000 fans in attendance chanted each member's name from the beginning, and by the end of the day, they were still cheering on the members with hoarse voices!

The members of Nogizaka were moved to tears by the enthusiasm of the fans, and the captain Reika Sakurai couldn't help but cry on the stage, and she was very touched to see such enthusiastic fans in her first concert.

Kagawa Yu and Inoue just saw Reika Sakurai crying on the stage backstage, and sighed secretly in their hearts, the pressure on Reika Sakurai is too great, this pressure is not only the pressure of the team members as the captain, but also the pressure outside, especially the pressure brought to her by AKB48!

That's why she couldn't help crying in the first concert of Nogizaka 46, which is a release!

Nogizaka's concert took place over two days, and nearly 30,000 fans witnessed the end of Nogizaka's first concert on the second day. (To be continued......)
