After singing the short song "kissorkiss", the judges did not comment for a long time, because everyone could hear that with the singing voice of this 12-year-old girl Mayu Watanabe, there was no need to evaluate or find faults.

In the end, it was Zhou Xiao who spoke first: "Everyone, how is it?" ”

"Yike...... The performance is very good......" Akimoto Yasu encouraged Watanabe Mayu a few words and let the girl go down, he didn't say anything in front of Watanabe Mayu, on the one hand, he didn't want Xiao Watanabe to be too proud, on the other hand, there were outsiders on the scene, and some words were not convenient to say.

After the girl went out, Qiu Yuankang whispered to Zhou Xiao: "Very powerful, you, this kid is good, has the potential to work hard, and looks talented, especially the singing is trained so well, it's very good." ”

Zhou Xiao said: "Let's take a look at the next one first." ”

The next person is Airi Suzuki.

may be a relationship that has been together for a long time, Xiao Aili and Xiao Mayou have some similarities in temperament, which makes Zhou Xiao begin to think that the future paths of the two girls in the entertainment industry must be distinguished while being tied together.

Airi Suzuki, who is also 12 years old, stood in front of everyone, and the same small and cute beautiful girl made people feel the desire to care.

"Hello everyone, my name is Airi Suzuki, and I'm twelve years old."

"Airi Suzuki? Is there anything you don't feel like losing to someone else? Akimoto Yasu said with a wicked smile, what he asked, it was obvious that he was going to Mayu Watanabe, since these two people have always been together, the two will definitely know each other very well, and Airi Suzuki should also have some refusal to admit defeat.

Zhou Xiao couldn't help but glance at Qiu Yuankang, this guy is really bad enough to ask this kind of question.

And Airi Suzuki heard Yasushi Akimoto's question, took the microphone, and said in a very slow and natural tone: "Dance...... Probably...... You won't lose. ”

Dance...... Dance? Listen to Airi Suzuki say such things. Even Zhou Xiao was surprised, Airi and Mayou have not been professionally trained in dance, and singing, although Mayou has received unanimous praise from the judges around her, but Zhou Xiao knows very well that she is still inferior to Airi Suzuki, why didn't this little Airi talk about dancing instead of singing?

Akimoto Yasushi was also stunned when he heard it, when the dance was reviewed just now, this Airi Suzuki did not leave any impression on him, which shows that the girl's dance is definitely not the kind of particularly outstanding category, she doesn't want to lose to others in dance. It's a bit surprising.

"It's a pity that we've finished reviewing the dance, so you might as well sing." Yasudo Akimoto.

"Yes!" The girl replied.

The prelude sounded, and the song chosen by Airi Suzuki was a BoA's "気持ちは伝わる", the third single released by BoA when it was developed in Japan, it was a very rhythmic song, and it was difficult to sing it, and it was difficult to grasp both the rhythm and the ups and downs of the song.

Airi Suzuki started singing.

"The bird that has lost the sky but is still flying......" The first sentence of Xiao Airi made Akimoto Yasushi raise his head suddenly.

The rhythm of this song by BOA is not bad at all when the girl in front of her is just a 12-year-old girl!

Little Airi continued to sing, and many people discovered her strength.

When Mayu sang before. Although the technique is very good and the singing is very stable, the voice is still a slightly higher voice of an ordinary girl, and there is nothing surprising about it, ten girls. There are nine such voices, but this Airi Suzuki is different, her most original voice is actually a bass!

It is very common for girls to have a high note, and most girls sing the high note more song. There are actually very few girls who can master the bass well, but this little Airi Suzuki can!

And, it's not just the bass!

At the time of singing. Little Airi has a good command of the bass of ordinary passages, but when the music is high. When the tide is high, her pitch and volume are raised at the same time, obviously a second ago she was still a girl singing bass, but in an instant she pulled her voice to a very clear height, singing an extremely amazing high note!

Except for Zhou Xiao, many of the people present who had never heard Xiao Airi sing shivered, and even some of them had goosebumps on their arms in an instant!

This little Airi Suzuki's voice is so good!

The selected room is not completely soundproofed, when Airi Suzuki sang such an amazing voice, the girls waiting outside also really heard the girl's incomparably beautiful voice, many girls even shivered, this kind of strength of the girl, is it their opponent!?

If Zhou Xiao can hear their thoughts like this, he will definitely tell them solemnly that she is your teammate and not an opponent.

Airi Suzuki was actually only singing part of the whole song, and soon the music stopped, and Airi Suzuki also put down the microphone in his hand, looking at Zhou Xiao and Yasushi Akimoto and others with a little apprehension on their faces.

At this moment, more than one person thought, what to see, what to see, what to see, you can sing this kind of Cheng dù, why do you still want to participate in the selection of female idol groups!

And Qiu Yuankang and others also understood why Zhou Xiao put Mayou and Airi at the end, these two girls are not on the same level as the girls who participated in the third-term student audition, not how talented they are, Xiao Airi's talent is good, but Xiao Mayou's talent is just ordinary, the most important thing for these two girls is that they have received too much professional vocal training in recent years, relying on the cultivation of these trainings, the two of them are crushing technical strength, It would be unfair to compare these two girls to girls who had not received professional training.

Airi's singing is the last part of the audition, and then the girls can breathe a sigh of relief, and Zhou Xiao and others will start the final selection of personnel.

In fact, in Zhou Xiao's heart, there is already a list that probably includes almost all the members, and the only place worth considering on this list should be Dachang Muina.

But even if you don't consider the Oba Mina, the members of the third phase are enough, you know, the original third term students were left with 20 people when they were finally selected, and 18 people were left when they were first disclosed, and when 10 days later, as many as 5 of these 18 people were quickly dismissed. Only 13 people remained, and after 3 people were moved from Group A, it was considered a relatively stable squad of 16 people.

So for Zhou Xiao, if he wants to save trouble, he just needs to keep one of the five people who were originally dismissed.

As a result, the final list of AKB48 third-term students was completely decided after discussion.

There are a total of 17 people in the final list, and among these seventeen people, except for Rena Tashina, who is expected to be fired soon, Otsuka Yaki, and Ryo Sakata. In addition to the five people of Fujishima and Horie Shengxia, the remaining twelve people are the main force of TeamB in the future that Zhou Xiao predicted.

Among these twelve people, Mayu Watanabe and Airi Suzuki are well-deserved team leaders and ACE, Aika Tada, Haruka Nakagawa and Ayaka Kikuchi also have their own futures, Yoka Katayama, and Tanabe were born. Akika Nakatani and Rumi Yonezawa are the cornerstones of the entire team, and they will be the foundation of the performance when the main members don't have enough time in the future, and the three people who were not in this team were Furukawa Ai Lee. Qin Zuo and Zi and Li Chun from China.

Among these three people, the first two have their own distinct images, and they can also perform quite well in variety shows, as for Li Chun. The identity of the Chinese mother is the biggest help for her, especially when Zhou Xiao is still a team member, her identity. Presumably, it can also be accepted more quickly.

Such twelve people, plus Kazumi Urano, Natsumi Hirashima, and Shiho Watanabe, who will move from Group A in the future, the strength of TeamB will not be weaker than their predecessors!

After completing the audition, Zhou Xiao and Akimoto Yasu and others left the venue, as for the discussion with Oba Mina, he does not need to go out, presumably Daba will also be very happy to sign a contract with AZX, although it is not immediately into AKB, but as long as the company is signed, the road to the future has been paved, for a girl like her, a signing opportunity is simply something she dreams of.

On December 9, just six days after the final selection on December 3rd, the first disclosure of the third term of students arrived.

Before that, on December 8th, the day of AKB48's debut year came.

Minami Takahashi put new paper tapes on the two load-bearing pillars of the theater, which meant that AKB ushered in a new year, but compared to a few years later, only AKZ's own cameras were recording the work.

It is said that the new year will have new goals and new changes, and there will be something new happening at the AKB performance on this day.

First of all, it is a good thing, Zhou Xiao took the stage to announce that AKB will release a new single at the end of January next year, but the name of the single has not yet been decided.

Originally, at the end of January of the following year, AKB was supposed to style their fourth single "Uniforms Are Really In the Way", but Zhou Xiao didn't want AKB to style this single.

After releasing three singles but sales did not improve, AKB in Akimoto's history began to think about how to stimulate sales, and the way to operate was ...... released four singles "Uniforms Really Get in the Way" and five singles "Once Contemptuous Love", two singles that can be called dark and degenerate.

These two singles depicting the plot of teenage girl aid, school bullying and other plots can be regarded as AKB's rather dirty black history.

And the most important thing is that if you have a black history, it's good that your history will be black, as long as the sales go up, but the reality is that even if you play any dark series, AKB's sales still haven't increased, so this dark system is a little boring, and it's better to release two more normal songs.

Since you want to release a normal single, then the selection of these four singles and five singles is a problem, Zhou Xiao's initial idea was to choose the two songs of Nogizaka's singles "You Are Hope" and "Counting on the Telescope", but whether there will be Nogizaka 46 in the future is now inconclusive, in the previous life, Yasu Akimoto founded Nogizaka 46, a big reason is because Sony lost too much when he was doing AKB, and now he pays them a Nogizaka, but now Zhou Xiao's AZX has established its own music department, It has nothing to do with Sony from beginning to end, and Nogizaka naturally has no reason to be born.

But if you don't establish it, such a good group, so many girls with great potential in the group are wasted, and if you integrate into the 48 series, it is likely to squeeze the living space of other girls.

When there are still doubts about the establishment of Nogizaka, Zhou Xiao doesn't dare to touch the songs that originally belonged to Nogizaka.

Since Nogizaka's is not good, Zhou Xiao has no choice but to move his gaze to other groups other than AKB, and the music of these combinations is no problem to pick up.

Soon. The two songs were "created" by Zhou Xiao, these two songs are super masterpieces, and Zhou Xiao, who has copied various things for AKB for six or seven years, is a little blushing, but after thinking about it, these two songs to the original combination are just two masterpieces that are only circulated among the rice, and if you give them to AKB, it will let more people know in the future.

Thinking about it like this, Zhou Xiao was much more relaxed.

The name of these two songs, one is "Verybeauty". The other song is "Rain の降らない星では爱せないだろう?", which translates to "You can't give love on a planet without rain, right?" 》。

The previous song was a single that Berryz Atelier would have released in 2007, Zhou Xiao was originally worried about whether this song had been prepared by Berryz Atelier to release a single, but after asking carefully, he found that they had no single release plan in the first half of 2007 this year, so Zhou Xiao was not polite.

Another song that is going to be used as an AKB5 single is a song originally included in the album of the Good Morning Girl Group with lyrics in both Chinese and Japanese versions. This work was created by Chunjun and Li Chun and Qian Lin in the team, this song originally created in 2009 and now that Li Chun has arrived here, Zhou Xiao is ready to rely on this song to launch Li Chun.

The biggest difference between these two songs and AKB songs is that they don't go through any arrangement changes. Both of these songs will be the kind of songs that require a certain amount of singing skills, and there are a large number of members of the solo part, and at the current level of AKB members, it is actually no problem to solo one or two of the lyrics. But being able to solo doesn't mean you have to do it, AKB is a huge group, and after the third phase students enter. The whole group is close to 50 people, when singing this song, if a large number of solo parts are arranged, but the members of the singing are not fixed, if you really sing, it is easy to encounter various "car accidents", so Zhou Xiao must make certain changes to the arrangement, reduce the solo part of the members and highlight the chorus part.

Of course, the solo part doesn't mean that there is no problem at all, but there is no problem in arranging one or two sentences.

On this day, Zhou Xiao took the stage to announce the plan for a new single and walked off the stage quickly, and when the members on the stage were about to stand up and say their final thanks, another person stood up again.

"I'm sorry to announce something, and I'm going to take a break...... To be ...... in early 2007 Graduation at AKB48! ”

"Eh!!!"

Yes, that's right, Ayumi Orii, the eldest sister of AKB48 when it was first established, and the backbone of all the members now, is the third graduating member to become AKB.

Ayumi Orii, who was born in 1985, was 20 years old when she participated in the AKB audition, and after a full year of hard work, watching more and more twelve or thirteen-year-old girls in the team gradually figured out that as a 21-year-old idol, she is now working hard to ...... Some late.

So, after meeting the third student a few days ago, she found Zhou Xiao and made her decision to graduate.

Zhou Xiao, who graduated from Orijingbu, can be said to be unsurprised, he asked: "Will you continue to be active in the entertainment industry after graduation?" ”

"Yes, I love singing and dancing." Ayumi Orii said.

"Don't forget that you can also sign with AZX." Zhou Xiao said.

In the previous life, Yasu Akimoto's AKS was limited to strength and couldn't sign too many people, but now Zhou Xiao's AZX strength is much stronger than AKS, so when establishing AKB, one of the benefits for graduating members is that as long as they have served as a full member of the team for more than one year, they can sign a brokerage contract with AZX after graduation, and AZX will be responsible for your operation, and it will not lead to the difficulty of not finding a company and not being able to continue your life.

And these members who graduated and left the contract, there is a job that is very suitable for them, can bring them a certain income, and can also save a lot of money in AKB operations, that is, these members can be a little teacher of dance and singing, help the main teacher, teach the dance of the members, they may not be the main choreographer and teaching teacher, but as a small teacher is enough.

"I'll sign with AZX, I don't do it at AKB, but I don't hate it!" Ayumi Orii said.

"That's good, if you're going to stay at AZX, you can report to Uncle Inoue later, although I can't give you too much mainstream media work for the time being, but some musical theater work should be no problem with your ability." Zhou Xiaodao.

Although the supporting role job in the stage play is known as the last fig leaf for artists who can't find a job, Zhou Xiao can be said to be a great benefit by doing this, after all, the fame of Orijing Bu is almost zero, so she can't get it on her own, even if she is a small supporting role in a stage play.
