Chapter 141: Idol
When it comes to AKB48's Kayo Kirishima, the conversation box opens instantly. She is like a river, and she crackles and says that none of them are finished. And Takeshita Kusaoke, who didn't show a sense of disgust, listened more seriously, after all, the purpose of his coming here was to understand all aspects of the most ordinary people. From knowing nothing about AKB48, he gradually learned that it was not fighting alone, but a large group of people fighting.
AKB48 is based in Akihabara, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, while its sister group SKE48 is based in Nagoya City, NMB48 is based in Osaka, HKT48 is based in Hakata, Fukuoka City, and NGT48 is based in Niigata Prefecture. In addition, there are overseas sister groups JKT based in Jakarta, Indonesia, SNH48 based in Shanghai, China, and the official rival Nogizaka 46.
Every year there is also a general election that comes together and is voted for by the fans. Of these, 16 out of 80-65 are called upcominggirls; 16 people from 64 to 49 are called futuregirls; 16 of the 48-33 are called nextgirls; 32-17 out of 16 are called undergirls; 16 out of 16 people out of 1 is called the selection team, and 12 out of 1 is called the media group. As for the 7-1, it is the so-called God Seven. 1 is the center of the whole group. Each member is in a different position, and the resources they receive are also very different. The ranking of these eighty places is produced one by one among hundreds of people, and the cruelty is self-evident, after all, some people can still be outside the circle after eight years and will not be selected......
Kayo Kirishima, who is talking like a stand-up comedy, is full of pride, and at the same time, his eyebrows are flying and he is full of longing for the future: "I signed up from the beginning of junior high school, and I failed the first two times. In the third year of junior high school, after more than 20,000 people were screened, I was able to enter the rookie audition, and I successfully stood out and entered the AKB48 teamA and became a trainee. It took more than three years to not only be promoted to full member, but also graduated from high school, and this year I was fortunate enough to be shortlisted and got the 80th place, becoming one of the upcominggirls. Do you know who my idol is? It is the first place in the two-time general election, and ACE refers to Rino Hara. Her experience is like a legend, which I really admire and has always inspired some juniors like me. Who is your idol? ”
Takeshita Kusaoke, who was already sitting face to face with her, listened to her story quite patiently, and smiled: "My idol is a full-time insurance officer, but he doesn't do a good job. Although he is an amateur writer, his achievements are beyond the reach of many full-time writers. The writer among writers, the great Czech Franz Kafka is my idol. ”
Kayo Kirishima, who stared at him twice, heard of the existence of such a person for the first time, and hurriedly asked: "It's the first time I've heard that there will be writers in the Czech Republic." How much do you adore him? ”
"How much you admire that man named Rinais Tsuhara, and how much I admire Franz Kafka. At present, there is also a famous writer alive in the Czech Republic named Milan Kundera. If you have time, you can read his most famous and philosophical novel "The Unbearable Lightness of Life". Although Takeshita Kusaoji knows that she and she are completely different, they can run on two roads, but they are both chasing the dream in their minds.
Kayo Kirishima, who remembered the title of the book but nodded politely, smiled and said, "Can you come to Akihabara to watch my performance when you have time?" ”
"No problem. It is said that entertainers are very profitable. How can you live in such a remote place and still live with your sister? It's not to deal with her, but to take a bite of Takeshita grass mustard, but he doesn't exclude a look at new things that he has never been exposed to. Of course, I have to have the free time that I don't want to write and not read. He became more and more interested in Kirishima Kayo, and asked a question casually.
Kirishima Kayo, who knelt down opposite him, felt that he was not only in love, but also quite chatty. Without too many taboos, she shrugged her shoulders and said slowly: "The very profitable artists in your mouth are all those core members." They are either one of the seven gods, or they have entered the media group and the selection group. This income is very high, and it is not a problem to have an annual income of 30 or 50 million yen. Some of the members can earn 10 million yen, and some can earn millions of yen. As far as I'm concerned, my monthly income is only about 100,000 yen, and it's just over 1 million yen a year. ”
You don't have to go to her side to see the Takeshita grass mustard that is exactly the same size as the house on her side, and then she understands that the rent of 60,000 yen a month is really very stressful for her. If she rents alone, minus the rent, I'm afraid it will only be enough to eat. Of course, the premise is that there is also a transportation fee to make up. Otherwise, it's hard to believe that a seventeen-year-old girl can survive in Tokyo with this alone.
"It's not lonely for you sisters to live together." Takeshita Kusaoke, who knows that Japanese children are more independent than Chinese children, can be regarded as a very euphemistic remark.
"Living with my sister was a bit inconvenient, but the benefits were obvious, and I saved half of the rent, which was 30,000 yen. If I hadn't been like this, I'd have been sleeping as a refugee in a private room at an Internet café where my feet can't fit straight and I can earn 100 yen to 150 yen per hour. Kayo Kirishima, who was straightforward and fast-talking, blurted out with a wry smile.
Takeshita did not sympathize with her, but spontaneously appreciated her. I understand that the motivation why she doesn't give up is that there is still that dream in her heart. It is not clear whether this dream has become a reality, or whether the dream is still a dream.
"Having my own sister share half of the rent with her can also make her live a little better. Although my sister went to junior college, she was only able to work as a temporary employee for one company. The monthly income is between 120,000 and 150,000 yen, and the total income of the whole year without being fired is more than 1.5 million yen. For a while, even he didn't know why he would tell him this, Kayo Kirishima, who had already been dragged by a real life, and unconsciously regarded him as a confidant he had found.
