On April 3rd, Kagawa had just returned to Tokyo.

AKS has announced the formation of a new team, team8! This is the fifth team of the AKB48 headquarters, and the members of this team are also eligible to participate in this year's general election.

On the same day, AKB48's 36th single, that is, the swimsuit list, announced the selection list of 36 people, and this single Yuko Oshima did not participate in the filming. In other words, the previous "Go Forward" was the last single that Yuko Oshima recorded as a member of AKB48.

In the upcoming single, Mayu Watanabe will be the central member of the single, while Rino Shihara and Nami Okujin will be separated on either side of Mayu Watanabe.

Other members who made it to the selection included Yona Kojima, Minami Takahashi, Rina Kawaei, Haruka Shimazaki, Reina Matsui, Mako Kojima, Kana Kobayashi, Yui Yokoyama, Mai Shiraishi, Nanna Owada, Akari Takahashi, Asuka Kuramochi, Minami Minegishi, and Mihime Nishino.

Aya Yamamoto, Rina Matsui Surina, Sakura Miyawaki, Miyuki Watanabe, Satomi Kitahara and other TOP members of these sister groups also entered the selection without exception.

This is the first single in the post-Oshima Yuko era, and the operation almost sent the most luxurious lineup to participate in the filming of this single, none of the TOP members were left behind, and the young members like Nana Okada, Reina Kato, and Mihime Nishino also entered the audition.

Compared to last year's swim sheet, most of the familiar faces of this year's single have disappeared, and the faces of members such as Yumi Itano, Mariko Shinoda, Yuko Oshima, and Yuki Kashiwagi have all disappeared.

The young members will have to prove with their actions whether they can achieve the steel guns in the hands of their predecessors, and for Mayu Watanabe, who is a member of the center again after a year, the single sales this time determine whether she can take on the responsibility of AKB48ACE.

Once the sales performance is slightly unsatisfactory, then she will be accompanied by overwhelming doubts, and the girl is likely to face unprecedented pressure, with Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima, and Mai Oshima in front of them to shelter them from the wind and rain. But now these seniors have graduated.

The time has come to test the young members of Mayu Watanabe and Nami Okumanabe, and if they are good enough, maybe AKB48 will keep moving forward slowly as they are now, and if their abilities can't reach the level of Yuko Oshima and Atsuko Maeda, what awaits AKB may be a slow decline.

Recently, the members have been busy with their schedules, in addition to participating in the shooting of the new single PV. They will also participate in the handshake event and the upcoming 6th general election.

Blue Bird of Paradise.

Not long after Kagawa Haya returned to the office, Inoue just walked in excitedly.

"Kagawa-san, good news." Inoue said excitedly.

"What's the good news?" Kagawa asked with a smile.

"The Prime Minister's Office has sent an invitation to Nogizaka 46 and Kagawa-san to participate in the cherry blossom viewing party." Inoue suppressed the excitement in his heart and handed Kagawa a letter of invitation.

The smile on Kagawa Yu's face suddenly disappeared, and this matter was not necessarily a good thing.

"What's wrong with Kagawa-san?" Inoue just saw the smile on Kagawa Yu's face disappear, and hurriedly asked.

Kagawa Yuzai took a closer look at the invitation, "We refuse this matter, don't go!" ”

"Why? If we don't go. The Prime Minister is angry with Nogizaka 46 and what should you do because of this? Inoue said worriedly.

"I've long said that I'm a businessman, and the girls at Nogizaka 46 are just ordinary girls. We only care about the arts and our own affairs, and I don't know the Prime Minister's intention for inviting us, and I don't want to know. I'm not going to let Nogizaka 46 and myself get involved in the ZZ characters and the ZZ incident. I'll take care of that, and you'll be busy with other things. Kagawa Yu said solemnly.

"I see. Kagawa-san. Inoue looked grim and exited the office.

After Inoue just withdrew, Kagawa rubbed his temples, which were a little painful. It's really hard to solve. But anyway, that person is the head of the country. If he refuses him, he will definitely not be able to get over with his careful face, but if he agrees to that person, his reputation and that of Nogizaka 46 in Chinese mainland will be ruined. In the future, don't even think about exchanges with Chinese mainland.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Kagawa Yu pushed the door in and saw his brother with a sad face. I couldn't help but ask.

Kagawa Yu handed the invitation in his hand to Kagawa Yuki, who looked at it for a while and burst out laughing.

"Brother, you're not worried that An Zhu will put on small shoes for you, right?" Kagawa asked.

"People are also the head of a country, and it's too rude for you to call An Zhu directly." Kagawa Yu said angrily.

"Brother. You also think too highly of An Zhu's ability, he is ostensibly the head of a country, but in fact, that's it. It is not he who really says that he is the master of this country, he is just a decoration. You don't want to involve yourself and Nogizaka 46 in this matter, just refuse him! What's there to worry about, he's a smart man, and after you reject him once, he will definitely not pester you and Nogizaka 46 again. Kagawa Xue said very firmly.

Kagawa Yu took a deep look at Kagawa Xue, this sister of his own is much more courageous than himself.

In the end, he thought about sending a reply to the Prime Minister's Office, and neatly rejected the Prime Minister's invitation.

"That's right, AKB48 seems to be shooting a new single recently, and I want to go along." Kagawa said.

"Okada, Kawasakae, and Owada are your artists, if you don't follow, I'll go?! The importance of those three children in the team is becoming more and more obvious, and you will be busy in the future. And when you go, help me take care of Xiaoao and Ma Youyou. Kagawa Yu said with a smile.

"Brother, aren't you going?" Kagawa asked.

"I won't go, I'm going to be scared and sad." Kagawa Yu said a little stunned.

Kagawa Xue was stunned and looked at her brother blankly. The girls who have struggled with their brother over the years have basically withered away, Atsuko Maeda, Mai Oshima, Yumi Itano, Mariko Shinoda, Yuko Oshima will not participate in the filming of the new single this time.

There are fewer and fewer old faces in AKB48, and most of them are still a group of little Lori, and there is already a big generation gap with Kagawa Yu.

Even if you go, you will feel a little bored. (To be continued.) )
