On December 7th, AKB48's 24th single, which is also the guessing boxing single "Mariko High Up", was officially released, and the sales of this single on the first day decreased slightly compared with the previous single to 900,000 copies, and it is not a problem to exceed one million. Also released on the same day as this single was Nogizaka 46's seventh single "Hairpin", which was also the first head-to-head confrontation between AKB48 and Nogizaka 46. But even so, the single sold 350,000 copies on the first day.

Although the sales of this single are far less than that of "Mariko Tall", it also allows people to see the spirit of Nogizaka and their potential, at least they are the only idol group that can still achieve such impressive results in the shadow of AKB48's domination!

The members of Nogizaka 46 saw the gap between themselves and AKB, but this also strengthened their confidence to catch up with AKB, Kagawa Yu was also quite satisfied with the results of Nogizaka 46, if he gave this group of girls a little time, he believed that the time of Nogizaka 46 would come sooner or later.

Towards the end of the year, everyone is busy with work, and the same is true for the members of AKB48, who will participate in various variety shows and award ceremonies in December, while girls such as Minami Takahashi, Tomomi Itano, and Mariko Shinoda have recently traveled overseas to promote AKB's singles and participate in fashion events. However, at the end of this year, the AKB members paid the most attention to the AKB Red and White Contest on December 20 and the Record Awards on the 30th.

Many members silently prayed early that they would win the award, and as the AKB red-white confrontation approached, many members returned to Akihabara to sprint for the final few galas of the year.

The venue of the first AKB48 red-white confrontation was Tokyo Dome, which of course was not Tokyo Dome in the true sense of the word, but a small annex building. And the emcee who served as the master of ceremonies for this AKB red and white competition were the old-timers of the entertainment industry, Masaki Sakai and Chino Shima.

20th. The weather in Tokyo has become a little cold, and the weather is not beautiful. Since the morning, the snow has been blowing heavily, and the members have been led by the staff to the youth hall early to make the final preparations before the start of the song.

"It's so snowy today, if it weren't for this damn red-and-white contest, I'd have wanted to go out and play snow poles with you." Yuko Oshima gently shook the snow off her body.

"It's true that there is no snowball fight in the Olympics, and if I had it, I would have become a world champion." Akimoto was not ashamed to speak.

"Speak well. We're still good friends, what do you say, O? Mariko Shinoda was speechless.

"That's right, Marisan. I really feel like I've grown a lot now, thanks to Gyasan and Yuko-san. Manami Okumanami laughed.

"Haha, Ao is not wrong; These two guys are so undisciplined. Wandering around the break room all day, I sometimes wonder how embarrassing it would be if one day you were seen by someone else. Itano complained.

"Everyone, long time no see." At this time, Mai Oshima, dressed in a white winter dress, came here. also waved triumphantly to a few girls.

"Wow, maimai. I've never seen you dressed so beautifully? Yuko Oshima came, and I don't know if she was complimenting or hurting people.

Sure enough, Mai Oshima came up and gently pinched Yuko Oshima's plump breasts.

"I'm pretty, okay?" Mai Oshima said angrily. She looked Yuko Oshima up and down, Yuko Oshima, who was wearing a black winter dress today, looked much more solemn.

"Tut-tut, Yuko. You still look like that's the same thing. ”

"Well, it's my best outfit." Yuko Oshima narcissistically said.

Tomomi Itano patted her on the shoulder. "Alright, don't get complacent here. Let's go in first. I'm going to freeze to death here. ”

"Okay."

Later, Kagawa Yu, Hoshino Mitsuru, Xia Zhenyu, Akimoto Yasu, etc. also arrived at the Youth Hall one after another, and several people did not go backstage but went straight to the venue.

Seeing Xia Zhengong, who had not been seen for a long time, Hoshino was a little excited.

"Teacher Xia Zhen, I haven't seen you for a long time." Hoshino bowed respectfully towards Natsu Zhen.

Xia Zhengong is also very pleased, the development of both Hoshino Man and AKB over the years has exceeded her expectations; Seeing the girls she brought out achieve such outstanding results, she was very proud in her heart.

"Long time no see, Hoshino. Unexpectedly, the girl who looked a little dull back then has now become a diva. I am happy. Xia Zhengong smiled.

"It's all taken care of by Kagawa-san and Mr. Akimoto." Hoshino Mitsuru's attitude is very modest.

"Kagawa-san, I heard that you were hospitalized some time ago, how are you? Have you recovered? Xia Zhengong turned around and asked Kagawa Yu.

Kagawa Yu smiled, "The main thing is that I am overtired, but now my body is much better." Thank you for your concern. ”

Yasusu Akimoto hasn't spoken since he came, just smiling and watching Kagawa Yu and the three chat.

"Mr. Akimoto, I'm going to release my first solo album recently, do you want to write me a song or something." Hoshino said suddenly.

"There's nothing wrong with this, I'm still worried about whether someone will write tunes for other people's albums, but I'm not worried about yours." Akimoto said with a smile.

"Thank you, teacher."

While a few people were chatting, Mai Oshima, who had been making a fuss in the background for a long time, finally came over, and these girls gave Hoshino a big hug without being light or heavy, and then went over to hug Xia Zhengong.

"Teacher Akimoto and Teacher Xia Zhen haven't seen me for a long time." Mai Oshima said with a hippie smile.

Xia Zhengong looked at Mai Oshima and shook his head helplessly, there is a saying that the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, and it is a person like Mai Oshima.

"Oshima, it seems that Teacher Xia Zhen was still too kind to you at the beginning, and your habits have basically not changed over the years." Qiu Yuankang went to help his forehead, looking helpless.

Mai Oshima smiled indifferently, and the words basically came in from the left ear and out of the right ear.

"Mr. Akimoto, I have already given up on her treatment, and among these people present, except for Hoshino, who has some deterrent effect on her, the others basically have no effect on her." Kagawa Yu said with a smile.

Mai Oshima grimaced at Kagawa and said nothing. (To be continued......)
