Chapter 277: Flying Begins

Mariko Shinoda looked at Kagawa Yu in a daze.

"Mariko, you are a very personal girl in AKB, because your royal sister and queen temperament have won you the love and support of many fans, and your shortcomings are also particularly obvious. You're too straight, too sensitive; So you can't get used to a lot of things. At this point, you are not as good as Yona and Yuko, the two of them will bury these things in their hearts and will not show them in the face of these things, while you, including Itano, may show it. So this leaves you with the impression that you are not in touch with other people. Kagawa Yu looked deeply at Mariko Shinoda.

Mariko Shinoda lowered her head a little embarrassed.

"Then I shouldn't be able to."

"You don't have to change it, because if you change these things, you won't be Mariko Shinoda; You lose that sharpness in yourself, and that's why you suffered a Waterloo in this election. So you just need to be a little bit more restrained. ”

Mariko Shinoda nodded as if she didn't understand.

"This move to Group K is also an opportunity for you to change, Akimoto, Yuko, Itano, Minegishi and Kooku, these people are either very good with you or have very cheerful personalities, and if you are with them, you may become nervous. When the cabinet is formed again next year, it will be enough for the king to return. Kagawa Yu said with a smile.

Mariko Shinoda couldn't help but laugh when she saw Kagawa Yu smiling.

"Is Kagawa-san coming back this time for my business?" Mariko Shinoda couldn't help but ask.

"No, I'm just bored and want to come back and have a look." Kagawa Yu said casually.

Mariko Shinoda couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, she knew that Kagawa Yu was lying, but this feeling of being cared for was really good.

"Kagawa-san, aren't you going to meet Tomochin and the others when you come back this time?"

"No need, don't let Yuko and Yang know about my return. I'll be back in September when you're at the Guessing Tournament, and I hope you'll surprise me. Kagawa Yu said with a smile.

Mariko Shinoda was slightly stunned, "I'll work hard, but don't blame me if Nick is eliminated in the first round." ”

"I believe you said that Yuko and Takahashi were eliminated in the first round, but I don't believe you in the first round." Kagawa Yu said lightly.

"Kagawa-san, don't worry. I'll do my best! Mariko Shinoda said firmly.

……………………….

The other members didn't know that Kagawa had returned home. But they found that Mariko Shinoda became a lot more cheerful, and Mariko Shinoda also began to joke with others a lot, both during her usual performances and during performances.

On August 24th, AKB48's 22nd single 'Flying Start' was officially released, and the single with 22 members in the audition reached a staggering 1.07 million copies on the first day! This makes it the second single to break one million in a single day since the official chart has a sales record, and the last single is the record that Hoshino just set in May!

At the same time, the single far surpassed the other songs in the first day and first week sales, and "Fly Away" became the third consecutive single of AKB48 and the fourth single to break one million overall.

The outstanding performance of "Flying Start" once again pushed AKB48 to the cusp, even if there are many people who have a lot of complaints about AKB, but they have to admit that AKB48 has become a national idol! Became a representative of the RB music scene! Now when overseas countries refer to the RB music scene. The names at the top of the list are no longer the divas such as Hikaru Utada and Ayumi Hamasaki, but AKB48 and Mitsuru Hoshino!

For the current AKB48, their single results are good enough, but they lack an influential and convincing award, and the Record Award is undoubtedly the best choice; However, since no music group has ever won a music award, many people have a conservative attitude about whether AKB48 will win a record award.

The major media also gave a very high evaluation of AKB's performance, and during this time, AKB48's members continued to appear in major music programs and variety shows, and even Mai Oshima, who had graduated, had to follow AKB48's announcement. This left her somewhat speechless, but it was her return that made the atmosphere in AKB seem more lively.

In fact, there is an open unspoken rule in the entertainment industry. That is, the videos of the members who have graduated from variety shows will be marked with mosaics when they are broadcast, and even the names will sometimes be marked with mosaics. For example, AKB members who have already graduated, the videos of the programs that members such as Erina Ono, Rina Nakanishi, and Kamito Hayano have participated in have already been mosaic.

And after the graduation of members such as Atsuko Maeda, Mai Oshima, Yuko Oshima, Mayu Watanabe, Tomomi Itano, Minami Takahashi, Yona Kojima, Mariko Shinoda and so on, the video will not be coded, a very important thing is that these girls have a very important position in the history of AKB48, they are the veterans of AKB48 and the heroes who brought AKB48 from obscurity to national idols. So no matter how ruthless the operation is, it will not remove these girls.

AKB48 became national idols, and the members of Nogi Ita 46 are carefully preparing for their 6th single and first concert, which is different from their youth two years ago.

Most of the current Nogi board members have gone to high school, and even the older Erika Ikuta and Hiyaka Nakamoto have washed away their youthfulness. They don't have the grandeur of AKB48, and they don't have the same eye-catching as AKB48. But they're just as good.

This group of girls with an average age of only 16 years old is also working hard for their dreams, and after three years of development, some people left Nogi Board 46 because they couldn't bear the loneliness, but more girls persevered. And their first concert since the establishment of the team three years ago will be held at the Budokan on September 5.

In fact, because Kagawa Yu has focused on AKB48 in the last two years, Nogi Ita's development in the past three years has not been as good as expected, but compared to the first three years of AKB48, Nogi has a much better start than them, and four of the first five singles found to be at the top of the public charts in the first week of release.
