Chapter 138: One Hundred Thousand Sakura
On February 2nd, after Yasu Akimoto and AKS released the overall election system and a series of related rules, Kagawa also proposed the concept of "Doji" on his Facebook website, which is not only the top 10 members of the AKB general election, but also promised to create singles and make movies for the top 10 girls in the general election.
For a while, the mood of the entire AKB members was pushed to the highest point, and almost all of the members were eager to get the desired ranking in the general election!
Public opinion has questioned the behavior of Yasu Akimoto and Hasu Kagawa, but they are more curious, and everyone wants to know what this general election can bring to AKB and Yasuya Akimoto!
In the midst of this hustle and bustle, AKB48's first drama "Majisuka Gakuen" was broadcast on Fuji TV, and although it was only a late-night TV series, it still attracted a lot of AKB fans and other people to watch it.
There are also a lot of film and television dramas about bad colleges and universities in RB.,The most successful is "Hot Blood High School" starring Oguri Shun and Takayuki Yamada.,But there are still relatively few works that reflect bad girl TV dramas.,So when "Malu Suga School" was broadcast, many viewers watched this TV series with curiosity.,Gradually, many people began to like this TV series.,Over time, many people also became interested in AKB.
With the rising ratings of "Malu Suka School", girls such as Yuko Oshima, Mai Oshima, Mariko Shinoda, and Reina Matsui, who have played well in the play, have begun to be favored by various businesses, and the advertisements of girls have gradually increased.
March 4. AJKB48's new single "Ten Years Sakura" was officially released, and the excellent results of the previous single "Loud Diamond" made the members full of expectations for "Ten Years Sakura", not only them. Yasu Akimoto, Tomobu Togasaki, and the entire AKS are looking forward to this single.
The single PV content of "Ten Years of Sakura" is very symbolic, telling the sad and nostalgic plot of a high school class friend who gets together again after 10 years, interspersed with the joyful scene on the bus on the graduation trip, and then getting off the bus one after another to symbolize the difference between going to the east and west after graduation.
And this so-called ten years later refers to 2019, but as time passes, maybe the girls who participated in this PV shoot have all graduated from AKB, but no matter what, the PV of this single expresses a sense of nostalgia and anticipation.
After the singles release event ended, the members of the singles were waiting for the first single results. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the initial results of "Ten Years of Sakura" were released!
When Togasaki Tonobu appeared in front of them with a blank face. All the girls can feel their heartbeats, like Rino Hara and even dare to look at Togasaki Tomoshin.
"The first move results are out." Togasaki Tomonobu's voice was slightly muffled. All the girls looked at Togasaki Tomonobu nervously but expectantly.
"The initial score of "Ten Years of Sakura" is 102,580!" Togasaki Tomonobu shouted out the result almost loudly.
102,580 sheets! When Togasaki Tomoshin excitedly shouted out this result, all the girls were stunned. No one could believe their ears.
"Togasaki-sensei, can you say that again?" Minami Takahashi confirmed again.
"The score of "Ten Years of Sakura" is 102,580 copies!" Togasaki Tomonobu said with a smile.
This time the members confirmed, and then the whole apartment resounded with the screams of the girls, but soon all the girls cried with excitement. Especially Takahashi Minami. She hugged Atsuko Maeda almost almost crying, and Atsuko Maeda was no better, her tears were like water in the faucet that was not turned off, and there were words in her mouth, and even he didn't know what he was saying again.
And Itano Tomomi, Yona Kojima, Yuko Oshima, Mariko Shinoda, Mai Oshima and other members also hugged each other and cried one by one, for them, "Ten Years Sakura" can achieve such an achievement is the best reward for their unremitting efforts in the past three years, but the girls have not yet realized that they are about to start their own era!
"Ten Years of Sakura" greatly encouraged the members of AKB, and at the same time relieved Yasu Akimoto and Kagawa Yu, who had spent a lot of effort on AKB in recent years. But basically all of them were lost, and there were several times when even Yasushi Akimoto and the president of AKS, Yasushi Wata, had the idea of giving up AKB. But in the end, he gritted his teeth and carried it, and Kagawa Yu was full of expectations for AKB, and after receiving AKB's song recording from BLUESKY, the two singles "Loud Diamond" and "Ten Years Sakura" sold 100,000 in a row, which is a very good result! Although this result cannot be compared with the kings and queens such as Masaharu Fukuyama, Mai Kuraki, and Sakai Izumizu, compared to other female idol groups, this result is already outstanding.
The success of AKB's two consecutive singles also made the members of Nogizaka 46 and the members of SKE48 full of hope for their future, although they are still very far from AKB, but this does not prevent them from taking AKB as a goal and a benchmark to work hard, AKB48, SKE48 and Nogizaka 46 Among the three teams, the average age of Nogizaka 46 members is the youngest, is less than 12.3 years old, and girls at this age are the age of star-chasing, and when they see AKB48 achieve such an orange red, girls naturally regard AKB as their idol and goal.
Seeing that the members of Nogizaka 46 are so non-li, Kagawa Ha even promised that if they perform well enough, they will be able to release their debut single in the near future, and for a while, the entire members of Nogizaka have become more hard-working, and the competition in the team is even stronger.
At the same time, the news of AKB48's first concert of the year was also officially announced, and compared to the previous cold, the news of this concert was immediately reported by entertainment gossip media and fans as soon as it was announced.
The concert will be held at NHKHALL, and the AKB48 general election will officially kick off after the concert! Almost everyone will not miss this concert, but Kagawa will definitely miss this concert because he will travel to China for Hoshino's last few concerts in China! (To be continued......)
