Chapter 299: Red and White

While Kagawa Hazu, Yasu Akimoto, and Mai Oshima were chatting, the members of the AKB48 red and white teams were discussing the order of appearance.

The members of the White Team held an impromptu meeting in a break room.

"The words of the first song are very important. Not only to choose good songs, but also to choose good candidates, do you have deep suggestions? Yuko Oshima asked.

"Yuko-san, I think the first song "DearJ" is good, but I don't think this song should be sung by tomochin, how about another person?" Reina Matsui took over.

Yuko Oshima looked at Tomomi Itano, "Tomochin, what do you think?" ”

"I don't have any opinion, let Sasi go up and sing. Her dancing is not bad. Itano Tomomi said lightly.

Yuko Oshima asked the opinions of the other members again, and after seeing that there were no opinions, she decided to let Rino Shihara take the lead. In fact, these have been discussed in advance, and these people are just pretending here.

In another lounge, Minami Takahashi, Atsuko Maeda and others also determined the first song, Atsuko Maeda's single "floweer", and Mai Shiraishi also sang this song.

The two teams can be said to have put a lot of effort into the first round of the showdown.

Soon the AKB48 red and white competition kicked off, and the judges such as Kagawa Hazu, Yasu Akimoto, and Mai Oshima also stopped discussing and waited for the official start of the song party.

The first to appear on the dance were two emcees, Masaaki Sakai and Chino Shima, and after the two made a simple opening statement, the members officially appeared. Under the leadership of Minami Takahashi and Yuko Oshima, the girl slowly walked onto the stage.

"Yuko's appearance is really good." Hoshino's eyes lit up after seeing Yuko Oshima's very ladylike dress.

"Actually, if this guy dresses up like a girl, maybe he will be more likeable." Mai Oshima whispered.

After the members took the stage and chatted with the two emcees for a while, the red and white competition officially began. The first to appear are the members of the white team.

"Here is the first song from the White Group, "DearJ". Welcome to enjoy. ”

The fans and several members of the jury immediately cheered up and waited for the show to begin, and many subconsciously thought that it would definitely be Yumi Itano's performance. But when Rino Shihara turned around, many people were shocked, and the five members of the jury were watching Rino Shihara's performance very seriously.

"I said that this back is wrong, it turned out to be Sassi, and sure enough, I am still too young." Mai Oshima said in her heart.

It doesn't matter what Rino Hara sings. How did she dance, but at least this girl worked very hard.

And after she finished singing, Mai Shiraishi in the red group quickly came out to sing Atsuko Maeda's "Flowwer", Mai Shiraishi and Atsuko Maeda's style is somewhat similar, but the singing of this song is completely different. When Atsuko Maeda sings this song, it is healing, and Mai Shiraishi is sunshine.

After Mai Shiraishi finished singing, Rino Shohara, as well as Masaaki Sakai, Sesame Chino, Minami Takahashi, and Yuko Oshima walked to the center of the stage.

"That's a good song." Sakai Masaaki said.

"Actually, I was very nervous when I first came on stage, if people looked at my back. What if you think I'm a tomochin? ”

"You're thinking too much."

"No one is going to think you're going to be a tomochin."

Rino Orihara was only halfway through her words when she was immediately interrupted by Yuko Oshima and Minami Takahashi.

"The same outfit doesn't feel the same as Tomocin at all." Mai Shiraishi made up for it in a timely manner. The fans and members at the scene burst into laughter.

Later, Sakai Masaaki and Chino Shima invited two girls, Atsuko Maeda and Tomomi Itano, to the stage and asked them to evaluate the performances of Mai Shiraishi and Rino Tsuhara, and the two girls gave their partners very high praise.

"Here's a look at the luxurious jury of the AKB Red and White Competition." Chino said, and the camera was also aimed at the five people above the jury.

"The first one is already very familiar to everyone, the goddess of moonlight, who just graduated in July this year, has become a new generation of hosts after graduation, Miss Mai Oshima!"

The fans at the scene immediately burst into warm cheers and applause, and Mai Oshima smiled reservedly at the camera.

"The second place, the new diva of the music scene. Miss Mitsuru Hoshino, a creative diva who has become a representative of Asian pop music! ”

Hearing his name, Hoshino Man also showed a subtle smile.

"The third place, I think everyone is familiar with it. The recognized brother of the AKB members, the youngest big man in the entertainment industry, and the all-round genius who just won the best director, Mr. Kagawa Ha! ”

The scene once again burst into warm applause, and Kagawa Yu nodded gently in front of the camera.

"Fourth, the godfather of AKB48. Chief producer: Mr. Yasushi Akimoto! ”

"The last one, the founder of AKB, Mr. Natsu Zhengong, who trained the AKB48 members in the early days!"

"Some of the judges may have seen AKB's performance for the first time, so please make your choice calmly after watching the performance." Sakai Masaaki added.

The tournament will be broadcast on YouTube, 102 screens nationwide, and five movie theaters overseas, so it can be said that it has a great impact.

After the presentation of the five special screenings. The red-white contest continues.

In the second round of the match, Yuko Oshima sent a trio of Haruka Shimada, Miyao Takeuchi, and Akine Takayanagi from Team 4, and they sang the song "Resistance in Uniform", while the Red team sent a trio of Rina Fujie, Moe Nito, and Tomomi Kawanishi, and they sang the song "Looking for Natasha".

Several people on the judging bench watched the performance of the two groups of girls very carefully, and Mai Oshima and Mitsuru Hoshino took out their pens and scribbled something on the paper on the table.

Xia Zhengong mainly focuses on the performance of the members' dances, and Kagawa Yu considers it from a comprehensive perspective, and as for Yasushi Akimoto, no one can figure out what he thinks.

After the first two rounds, Kagawa Yu personally preferred the performance of the red group, and the performance of Rino Shihara in the white group was completely suppressed by Mai Shiraishi, who played against her, and the girls who appeared in the second group were on par with the red group. In the end, Kagawa Yu deliberated and chose the red group between the two sides and two rounds. (To be continued......)
