Chapter Fifty-Six: Members with Mixed Performances
Not only AKB48, but all idol groups can't get rid of a rule, that is, success belongs to some people, and more people will not get the results they want no matter how hard they try. The world is never fair.
An hour later, the members were standing neatly in front of Natsu Mako, Kagawa Ha, and Togasaki Tomonobu.
"Alright, let's start your show, let's see the results of your training." Togasaki Tonobu said.
The first group is the team of Mai Oshima, Yuko Oshima, Mayu Watanabe, Yona Kojima and other girls, and this team gathers the most promising members of the three teams.
"Three teachers, what we want to sing is "Turning into Rolling Stones"!" Akimoto said.
"Alright, let's get started." Xia Zhengong said lightly.
Mayu Watanabe's heart tightened, but after seeing the encouraging eyes of Yuko Oshima and Yona Kojima, the little girl's nervousness dissipated a lot.
"The flowers on the side of the road are for whom. Scorched by the sun, drenched in the rain, once dreams disappeared into the wind. Loneliness has always been the price of freedom, and for whom it shines. Loneliness has always been the price of freedom, not the loss of words, but the wall of indifference, which can only be endured like this. It will be a spinning stone, act according to one's mind, heat up until it burns out, and turn the times upside down. Become a spinning stone, do not be satisfied with the status quo, time passes though. The enthusiasm for hiding is undiminished. The nameless star shines for whom? But through the wall of indifference, you can only endure like this. Become a spinning stone. Heat up until it burns out, turn the times upside down! ”
Among the seven people, except for Watanabe Mayu, the other six are members with strong stage performance, and they have driven Watanabe Mayu's performance very well, but because of this, the gap between Watanabe Mayu and other people's performance has been clearly seen by Kagawa Yu, Togasaki Tomonobu and Xia Zhengong.
After the girls finished singing, they waited angrily for the rating of Kagawa Yu's three people.
First of all, Toganosaki Tomonobu, "Your song today is very difficult. But you did a great job. I would like to commend Watanabe-san, as a junior, you are a little nervous about performing with these seniors. But it's still a very good performance, and I give you a 7 for your group's performance! ”
"Thank you, Mr. Togasaki." After all, it was the first group of appearances, and Togasaki's score was still a little low.
"I'm a dance teacher, so let me tell you about your dance problems. Your dancing skills have improved a lot compared to before. Including Watanabe-san. But you also have such a small problem in the village, that is, there is still room for improvement in cooperation, so I give you 8 points! ”
"Thank you, Mr. Xia Zhen."
The last rating was Kagawa Yu, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and unlike Togasaki Tomonobu and Natsu Zhenyu, Kagawa Yu was expressionless from beginning to end.
"I'll give you a score first, 5." Kagawa Yu poured a basin of cold water on several girls.
"Togasaki Tonobu-san and Natsu Shin-san have finished saying good things, so let me talk about some of your shortcomings. You have a lot of problems, the most serious one is that you sing out of tune, even the two members of Team K, Akimoto and Yuko, are out of tune. You know what that means. It means that you don't pay attention to this song at all, you think you can do it well with your previous experience, but in fact you are wrong. Although idols do not have high requirements for singing skills. But that doesn't mean you can sing out of tune, there are only two possibilities for this kind of problem, either you just don't pay attention or you don't take it to heart. I believe that you are the first, so I give you five points. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Kagawa." Several girls were ashamed, and the other members secretly told themselves that they must not make such a common-sense mistake.
The second group performed a team of several girls such as Hitomi Komagaya and Hana Tojima. In the end, the team scored 21 points, surpassing Yuko Oshima's group in total.
"Three teachers. We are going to perform "Cherry Blossom Petals" "The third group is the group of Atsuko Maeda, Reina Ono, Sae Miyazawa, and Mai Shiraishi.
Kagawa nodded and motioned for the girls to start performing.
"The sun was silent by the window in the classroom, and there was little spring calendar left. The people I saw in class were all wearing the same uniforms. Such companions will look like adults, and everyone will travel towards their own futures, so let's go on a trip! Behind that little ridge grew the wings of dreams. When the tiny petals of the cherry blossoms bloom, the bell of hope rings across the earth somewhere. Give us the freedom and courage of tomorrow, when the small petals of the cherry blossoms bloom, someone must be praying somewhere. The door to a new world. Use your own hands to open it. When we quarrel, when we talk on the phone, when we cry."
This group chose "Cherry Blossom Petals", which has the highest degree of singing and low difficulty.
"To be honest, your group gave us a big surprise, when I watched your training just now, only Miyazawa-san was talking about something alone, and everyone else was not motivated. But I didn't expect you to perform this song so well, especially Shiraishi-san, who is not stage frightened at all in front of his predecessors, which is very good! So I give you 8 points! This was the highest rating of the three groups, and Tomonobu Togasaki and Natsu Mayuki also gave high scores of 9 and 10 respectively, so that the members of this group were overwhelmingly ahead of the first two teams.
Several girls were very excited and high-fived each other, and at the same time, they also put a lot of pressure on the small team behind. In the performances that followed, the performance of several teams was mediocre and lacked some highlights. The only ones who performed better were the group of Mariko Shinoda and Nami Okumana. Due to grouping, the two ended up together.
Two members of AKB48, who are 10 years apart, sang a song "Forbidden Duo", and although it looked a little funny, these two people finally got a high score of 25 and won the second good place.
After a morning of training, the members of Team B gradually got used to the atmosphere of performing with their seniors, and Kagawa Yu wanted to stay here to watch the girls' concert, but a phone call from the company forced him to return to Tokyo! (To be continued)
