Chapter 458: The Beginning of Peach-colored Clover

In the entire SKE, Zhou Xiao pushed Jurina Matsui, Yuria Kisaki, and Kazuko Qinzuo, but if he was asked to elect someone who represented the spirit of SK, he would choose Reina Matsui.

In fact, Rena should not have appeared in SKE, and Nogizaka 46, who she also served as in the future, is the most suitable idol group for her, as for SKE...... Reina, whether it's personality or dance, seems to be a little far away from SKE.

At the beginning of SKE's establishment, in order to quickly distinguish themselves from AKB, their dance standards were much higher than those of their predecessors, AKB, and under this demand, Nagoya's SKE became the idol group that claimed to be the best in the entire 48 series in terms of dance.

But...... Is Reina Matsui really suitable for such a crazy dance? In fact, she is a sports idiot, an athletic idiot, how much effort and extra sweat does it take to keep up with her side, the dance of athletes like Jurina and Yuka Nakanishi?

But...... That's what she did, and she did it...... That's just over six years.

This is a girl with a long neck, a hairline that is anxious, and a bean sprouts-like body.,It's the softest in a group of hundreds of people.,It seems that if you pinch it, you'll be crushed.。

Her strength was once misunderstood by Zhou Xiao and most people, most people felt that her weakness was just character building, she was a thorough role, like Miyuki Watanabe, she was using her image to win the camera and fame for herself, and to win the opportunity to become famous and the apex position of the team.

Zhou Xiao looked at Reina Matsui with such thoughts for more than three years, he would not go to hack a girl, nor would he hate a member, but it was undeniable that he had no good impression of Reina Matsui like this at that time.

But...... In the second half of 2014, he gradually understood, understood Reina Matsui, because he figured out one thing.

That's ...... If Reina Matsui is really such a girl. If she's really just using SKE and AKB as a springboard, why is she still here? In the past six or seven years, SKE said that it was a double center, in fact, who didn't know that Jurina was the absolute core of the team, and it was even more so in AKB, SKE could still compete with Jurina, and she was at most an ordinary selection position in AKB singles, even the general election...... The gap between him and Jurina is also gradually widening.

The decline of popularity, the decline of SKE. Growing older......

The pain of the gradual departure of the comrades-in-arms who fought together, Yuko Oshima, Minami Takahashi, and Reina Matsui...... And why not, compared with the 16 or 7-year-old, accustomed to being pampered and pampered little ancestor Matsui Jurina, more delicate and gentle Reina. Watching those SKE students leave one by one, the pain in my heart is probably not inferior to Minami Takahashi or Yuko Oshima, right?

But...... Where, on the other hand, what does she have? She must be very envious of Yona Kojima in her heart, right? Twenty-six or seventeen years old. She is even called "The King" when she works freely in AKB, and she has established a very special but very suitable image for her.

And what about her? She experienced the same pain of parting as AKB's first and second students. But I can only cry alone on the train in Nagoya.

When she stood on the platform of her "Dead Leaf Station", the first student of SKE, the whole SKE. And even the entire AKB Group, how many people who were by her side when she arrived will bid her farewell?

People say "she is always so quiet" in a weird way, saying that she "never steals the show", among these clear praise and deprecation, she has been doing it solidly for six years, when SKE gradually fell apart and went to the end of the world, crying, why did she never mention leaving?

If she leaves, it will be freedom for her......

People's minds will change, if Zhou Xiao traveled back in 2013, he may still be as indifferent or even a little annoying to Reina Matsui as he was in previous years, but now, when he saw this familiar name in the selection application, his heart was more emotional, if Rena knew what kind of difficulties she would face in the next six years, how many times she would cry, how many times her heart would be broken, would she still choose to join SKE?

In the first phase of SKE, the two most important people are of course Reina Matsui and Jurina, compared to the first phase of AKB, the average level of the first phase of SKE is significantly worse, in fact, the first phase of AKB is about 8,000 people selected, and the selection of SKE's first phase of students, so far only received more than 2,000 less than 3,000 selection applications, not to mention the application in Tokyo, most of the participants can be said to be the eliminators of the Tokyo entertainment industry, love the well-known Furuya here to apply? The vast majority of them are ordinary people in Nagoya, and there are very few people like AKB's first phase students who have worked hard around the Japanese entertainment industry for many years, according to what Zhou Xiao knows, the reason for SKE's first term is that Sato Miyako has a small name in the entertainment industry before.

The average quality of the SKY is relatively poor, and the first phase of the student is not completely devoid of potential new stars.

At the time of the final audition, Jurina and Reina were actually not particularly eye-catching, Jurina was okay, but the 11-year-old girl looked more mature, but the voice and the youthfulness of the response made people feel that there was a contrast and cuteness, as for Reina Matsui...... As I said before, this kind of selection, usually the first to be selected is the one with the greatest hope of entering the group, the most potential, and Reina Matsui's final selection number, I'm afraid that in the last part of my previous life.

At the selection site, the girls who really caught people's eyes were...... Kumi Yagami!

This beautiful girl with big eyes has a very special attraction, even if she is mixed in dozens or hundreds of people, she is definitely the easiest to find, and the final selection of SKE is a local TV station in Nagoya to do the program, at that time, the host of the TV station interviewed in the past picked Yagami Kumi at a glance, from this point, it also proves that her own potential is really very high.

In addition to Yagami Kumi, there is also a girl named Mori Saxue in the first phase of SKE, who is a girl that Zhou Xiao used to be very optimistic about.

Among SKE48's performance songs, "Wolf and Self-Esteem" is a very famous song, as a standard Lolita song, it is very pleasing to sing this song, similar songs and "Banana Next Door" and the like are all of the same type, "Wolf and Self-Esteem" Another thing that impresses Chinese 48 series fans is that this song won the SNH48 first annual golden song champion.

(Can't help but complain.) SNH is actually very good and cute, but the reason why I haven't pushed it is that I think this combination always seems to have some shortcomings, but I never know what the problem is. This time, "Wolf and Self-Esteem" won the first place, and I felt that the combination of SNH was ...... Seems to put too much emphasis on the personal? Most of the progress songs are members, and there are few group singles and team songs. )

Most AKB rice knows that the song "Wolf and Self-Esteem" is because of the interpretation of Kumi Yagami and Yuya Kisaki, but in fact, the real earliest version of this song is the version of Kumi Yagami and Sayuki Mori. The two of them were the first to sing this song in the S3 performance.

In addition to Mori Sayuki, there was also a girl named Takai Tsukina who was seen as a very potential girl at the beginning of SKE's establishment, she was actually really good, and it is said that she was even regarded as the main opponent by Reina Matsui, and at the beginning of SKE's establishment, the status of the team was not even worse than the later recognized SKE3 Yagami Kumi.

But...... A person's success or failure does not completely depend on the person's potential, many times, it must also look at the person's seriousness, the combination. Patience with others, and most importantly, luck.

Just as Mai Oshima regretted leaving AKB before she became a national group, Tsukina Takai is also the best proof of letting the opportunity slip away in her own hands, and this girl is actually in a good position in the team after becoming a first-term student of SKE. But in terms of AKB's operation, it is impossible for there to be media exposure to push everyone up for a while, so I can only focus on promoting W Matsui, and occasionally let Yagami Kumi appear on TV by the way.

In history, Takai Tsukina actually mixed up in the Japanese entertainment industry as early as the spring of 2008. Because in the spring, she is a peach-colored clover person, and in the summer. She only became a member of SKE after she withdrew from the peach clover, maybe she has such a good potential for herself but is not pushed A little unbalanced in her heart, Takai Tsukina left again after doing SKE for about a year, leaving from Momokusa and then leaving from SKE, Takai Tsukina obviously had two excellent opportunities and didn't seize one of them, I have to say that this girl is too unlucky......

In the world now, the two main figures who established Momokusa, the main music maker of Zuò Kawakami and the main music maker of Momokusa, Kenichi Yamada, are in their own hands, although Xingchen Office has also established an idol group, but in terms of concept and music style, it is very different from Momocao in the previous life, and whether this idol group that does not exist in history can still be as popular as Momocao, Zhou Xiao is not sure.

Zhou Xiao actually wants to see if a group can become popular, whether it is more due to the company or more reasons for the group itself, like Momocao, its own popularity, is regarded by many people as another phenomenal group after AKB's popularity, special music and image are difficult to imitate and copy, Xingchen, an entertainment company, is one of the biggest forces in the Japanese entertainment industry, if Xingchen does not have Momocao in his hand but is now a new idol group, will this group replace Momocao?

"But...... Peach grass...... "Zhou Xiao looked at Takai Yuena's name and thought of a question, that is, peach grass...... What if it was established by his men?

Zhou Xiao himself, it is impossible to have time to establish Peach Grass again, he has no experience, and he lacks an understanding of Peach Grass music and experience in his mind, but he has one or two people under him, Kawakami アキラ and Ken Yamada, only these two people, is it really possible to get Peach Grass out?

This is also the reason why Zhou Xiao has not really established Momocao, AZX has money, but with more money, it is enough to establish an idol group like AKB.

Zhou Xiao, who thought about it for a while, finally couldn't decide whether to let Momocao be born in his hands again, after all, this idol group is still quite good, and in the end, he decided to listen to the opinions of Kawakami アキラ and Kenichi Yamada, if these two people really mean that, then give them one to two hundred million yen, and it's no problem for them to try.

Kawakami アキラ and former Yamada Kenichi have been doing AKB-related actions for the past two years, Kawakami アキラ is the agent of about half of the people in Group K, and former Yamada Kenichi is mainly responsible for arranging the AKB songs of Zhou Xiao and Yasuzu Akimoto.

The two years of experience in AKB will definitely be of great help to their own experience, and Zhou Xiao estimates that if they can, they must also hope to make a new one. It's completely different from AKB, but it's a combination that can compete with it.

Zhou Xiao, who thought like this, did not see the two of them in the company, but saw them at the place where they were eating.

"Boss!" The two of them looked quite excited to see Zhou Xiao, although they worked here in Zhou Xiao, but the two of them didn't have many opportunities to really see Zhou Xiao, Kawakami spent most of his time taking members to run various jobs, and Zhou Xiao went to the most local theaters, because it was his own place, Kawakami didn't need to be there often.

As for Kenichi Yamada, he is actually quite an otaku character. Spending most of his time in the company's music studio, where Zhou Xiao's compositions are usually delivered to him and recorded by the members after the arrangement, it can be said that Kenichi Yamada is now the last link in the AKB music system.

"Come and sit down, let's talk casually when we come out this time, relax." Zhou Xiao pointed to the two seats in front of him and said.

"Yes!" The two said.

"I've been building AKB for a while, and you've been working with me since AKB was established and have experienced the growth of AKB. Have any thoughts in your mind? Zhou Xiao didn't talk too much nonsense, but asked directly.

"AKBH...... It's very promising......" Kawakami said with emotion at first.

"Oh? It's true? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Of course it's true, the outside world may have doubts about AKB, but we know best internally, AKB has an absolutely bright future. Being able to work for AKB is, of course, very much something we are looking forward to. Kawakami said.

"Really? Then one of the questions I want to ask is, do you like idol groups? Or rather, what do you think about the future of Japanese idol groups? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Boss. Speaking of which, I have to say that you are amazing. Now the industry has basically seen the rise of otaku culture. It will surely make the wallets of a large number of young men become another massive income point after housewives, and when everyone is still looking for ACG resources, you have found that idols are closely related to otaku culture, but they will not be separated from the so-called three-dimensional products! Everyone can see that idols will become the two-dimensional products in the third dimension, especially female idols, which have an incomparably huge market. The establishment of AKB was prepared by you more than two or even more than three years ago, and you have already taken this into account at that time, and I have to say that you are really amazing, boss! Kawakami was flattered by reality, and next to him, Kenichi Yamada, who didn't seem to be able to speak well, agreed but didn't know how to say it.

"So, you're very optimistic about the future of idols?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Of course, if the idol industry has not developed well, then what can it do?" Kawakami said.

"That'...... If you had to be an idol yourself, what would you want to be? Zhou Xiao asked.

"Huh? Boss, why do you ask that, I don't mean to be independent, but I'm doing a good job at AKB. Ah, by the way, you want me to take over SKE? Kindness...... SKY......

"Stop, I'm not asking you to take over SKE, I'm asking you, if you let you, and Kenichi Maeyamada, let the two of you make zuò idols, what kind of idols do you want to make zuò?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Let's? Making zuò idols? Boss, what do you mean ......"

"That's right, I just want you to make the AKB rival!" Zhou Xiao said.

“AKB…… The opponent? ”

"That's right! Since the future of AKB is promising, and since AKB is likely to become a national organization in the future, there will inevitably be a large number of competitors, which is certain, but if I had to choose, I would rather choose my opponent who is also my own person than my own opponent is a combination of other companies. Zhou Xiao said.

"My own idol group...... Build your own idol group! Kawakami seemed to be stunned by Zhou Xiao's thoughts, he muttered Zhou Xiao's words, but the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, Zhou Xiao knew that his interest was raised.

"Well, if you're interested, I'll give you a sum of money to find someone on your own, it's not too much, it's just for you to start, in the next few days, you and your idol have to start from scratch, at the beginning you won't even have an exclusive theater like AKB, maybe you can only perform in parks or even on flyovers, but if you really have a chance to succeed in the future, if you can really make the audience remember and be interested in watching you, Then we at AKB Group will not be stingy to be allies with you. Zhou Xiao said.

"Zhou ...... Boss! We will definitely try our best! Kawakami said.

"There is only one thing, you have to remember, don't learn AKB, AKB's model is not something you can do!" Zhou Xiao finally reminded. This sentence is very important, AKB is indeed not something that anyone can play, before and after, Zhou Xiao has spent almost 100 million US dollars in AKB, looking at the entire Japanese entertainment industry, no company or group will spend so much money on an idol group with an uncertain future, and neither can Yasu Akimoto in his previous life.
