While the AKB members were attacking separately and popularizing their own history to ordinary Japanese audiences, Zhou Xiao was busy with another thing, that is...... Selection of the ninth term of students.

AKB's 9th student is a legend, and at the same time, AKB's 9th student is also a legend who failed to become a legend......

Let's talk about the first legend first, the legend of the ninth phase of the students, which is the highest average quality of AKB since its establishment, except for one or two members.

Cute, pretty, excellent singing, excellent dancing, physical education, moe, fishing god, model, host MC, and even the successor of Minami Takahashi...... The potential of the ninth batch of students is the best among all the selections of AKB.

But...... It's a pity that the ninth phase of life is also a failure......

It's not that the popularity of the ninth phase of the students is poor or they are not famous in AKB or that many people graduated in the end, but the overall effect of the ninth term students in the end is actually very good, Haruka Shimazaki and Yui Yokoyama can be said to carry the banner of the next era, and the other members' expressions are also quite good.

The reason why the ninth students really failed was precisely because people's expectations for them were too high.

What people expect is for them to become the leaders of the next generation, replacing Maeda Oshima and even Mayu Kashiwagi, and in 13, 14 years, they can do what Maeda Oshima did in 10 or 11 years, but it's a pity...... Things are messed up.

In December 2010, most of the members of the ninth class were promoted to the team but the team was undecided, and on June 6, 11, these members were upgraded to the newly established Team 4.

But just over a year later, at the 2012 Tokyo Dome concert, Team4, which was led by the ninth phase of the company, was announced to be disbanded.

If you want to list the most disappointed AKB planning list in Zhou Xiao's heart, the dissolution of Team4 may be ranked in the top three.

The personal achievements in the ninth phase of life are actually very good, especially the two members of Haruka Shimazaki and Yui Yokoyama, who have taken completely different paths, and have later become indispensable stores of AKB.

But...... Their success. It's just that as an individual, Team4 as a team still can't be tolerated.

Why does individual success have to be successful as a team? It's very simple, just look at those idol groups that are popular with one or two people, but not popular as a whole, AKB around 2009, Zhou Xiao's previous life Ami Kikuchi and her friends' idoling!! , Shinozaki's idol group that loves to forget her name for any Zhou Xiao, and the thousand-year-old beautiful girl Kanna Hashimoto, Nanami Sakurabi. Kawashima Kaihe...... Talented and talented artist idols rely on their own abilities to create a world, but in turn they can't let their team succeed, and the final result is either to work outside the village like Ami Kikuchi and Kanna Hashimoto, who are almost equivalent to graduation, or finally be dragged down by the team, gradually sink with the team, and finally squander their popularity and become unpopular......

It can be said that Team4 is not as good as the idol group in these examples. Because these groups have been holding out for a long time, T4 has only been disbanded for more than a year.

It is difficult for Zhou Xiao to accept that so many members with very good talents only ended up with this result.

Why is this so? Or rather, the dissolution of Team4. Why?

Something like this, in fact, is the result of many reasons being intertwined, only in terms of T4, the team's lack of cohesion. The timing of the performance, the collocation of the members, and even the management of the leader who has problems with the leader. But the most fundamental reason, in Zhou Xiao's view, can be summarized as the lack of leadership in Team4, and this so-called leader is not one person but two people, that is to say, a captain and an ACE.

It wasn't that there was no captain for a period of time when T4 was established, but, the official captain Oba Mina soon after its establishment, became cautious because of the headpost incident, and couldn't go on the show or appear on TV, so he had to be replaced by Shimada Haruka as the captain, and after a period of time, Oba Mina returned to the team, and Shimada Haruka returned the captain and so on, Zhou Xiao felt that the girl must not be very simple, and there was no unhappiness to hand over a qiē, and the other members of T4, There will also be doubts about whether Mina Oba can lead them.

This is the captain crisis that T4 is facing.

And the ACE crisis is also more troublesome, who is the ACE of T4? At first, the biggest expectation of the operation should be the two girls Haruka Shimazaki and Miyu Takeuchi, both of whom have high appearance potential, and are the most likable girls in the ninth period, but these two girls have great natural shortcomings.

Miyu Takeuchi, needless to mention cuteness, this girl who has been trained in professional singing and entertainment since she was a child is born with a very high level of artistry.

And what about Haruka Shimazaki? This girl's potential is also excellent, different from Kotakeuchi's kindness, Haruka Shimazaki's trait is sweet, and when this girl laughs, she is very sweet.

But the shortcomings of these two girls...... Obviously they are very rooted and hard-working girls, but they are limited to their own personality and it is difficult to show their efforts.

For idols, it's almost fatal.

Idols must show themselves well in order to have enough people like them, high-end and glamorous idols used to have but now there are very few zài, and they don't have the ability to stay cold.

As for relying on coldness, relying on salt correspondence to attract attention and attention? No kidding, what otaku like is what they can fish, and what they like is color. Love rubbing the side ball,Obviously there is no ability to return the salt corresponding.,It's not for nothing that this kind of storage zài AKB is not nothing.,Members like Miho Miyazaki were once called "salt corresponds to the Four Heavenly Kings".,And these people are as flop as always.。

Is there really anyone who can get this popular? In addition to the traverser, if Qiu Yuankang could still predict this, Zhou Xiao estimated that he would have the mind to bow down.

What's even more powerful is that the ninth-term students, as well as one or two important members who join after the ninth-term students, can form a perfect team together.

Like the kitten club, the Good Morning Girls group and even the early days of AKB, everyone has their own distinct personal image, in the Good Morning Girls group, Maki Goto. Natsumi Abe, Maysato Yaguchi, Kei Hoda, Rika Ishikawa and others, when they say their names, as long as they are good morning meals or even ordinary people at that time, they can build each other's image and character in their minds.

The same goes for AKB, Maeda's power-saving center, Yuko Oshima's uncle is omnipotent, and Yona Kojima's charm is stupid. Mariko Shinoda Outer S Inner M, Tomomi Itano's fashionable tiger tooth...... That's what a team should look like.

And the same is true of the ninth term students and their T4, the original idea of the operation of T4 is to cultivate it almost as the AKB in the AKB, and the ninth term students, plus the members such as Miori Ichikawa, Kawaei Rina, and Anna Iriyama, who were later added to the ninth term, have built an image system that can even break away from AKB. This is undoubtedly equivalent to doubling the character output or reserve force on the basis of AKB's original foundation!

Pity...... The snake has no head and does not work, and the establishment of T4 stems from the strength of the ninth phase of life, and the destruction of T4. In fact, it also stems from the strength of the ninth phase of life, the lack of a leader to coordinate the entire team, and the lack of the goal of thinking in one place and working in one place, which makes T4 lose its direction. gradually lost the meaning of their existence, and eventually became senior graduate students, and then was disrupted by the operation. Placed in the first three teams of the AKB.

There is no doubt that Zhou Xiao hopes that T4 can survive.

T4 is very powerful, from the ninth phase to the twelfth phase of students, if this team can be built well, AKB will have a chance to experience glory after 2015, these members are about 20 years old when they are born again, so, in order to make the survival of the ninth phase continue, Zhou Xiao before the enrollment of the ninth phase of students, and even not long after the establishment of AKB, he made a lot of preparations, such as the early recruitment of Daba Mina, and focused on cultivating her and did not give her the opportunity to be promoted is for this, so to speak, Oba Mina is a natural captain role that Zhou Xiao prepared for the ninth term.

In addition to Oba Mina, there is another person that Zhou Xiao prepared for the ninth phase of students.

This person was not originally a ninth-term student, and before Zhou Xiao found her, she was just an ordinary little model in a modeling school.

But at the beginning of this year, Zhou Xiao secretly found and signed her into AZX, secretly trained her, and asked her to sign up for the selection of the ninth term.

The girl's name is ...... Kaoru Mitsumune!

In the history of AKB, this girl is also a legend, and like T4, this girl is also a ...... A ruined legend.

When Zhou Xiao saw Guangzong Xun, even if there was a distance of fifteen years before and after crossing and the wrong age, Zhou Xiao could still recognize this girl at first sight.

That's a pretty ...... Handsome girl, very thin, very thin, especially the arms and calves, Zhou Xiao felt that if it was him, he would be able to break the girl with a casual effort, as for the appearance, the girl was just like the cold and glamorous style in Zhou Xiao's memory before, but I am afraid that not many people can be cold in front of him, so the coldness on Guang Zongxun's face at this time also contains some apprehension and even flattery.

In the history of Zhou Xiao's previous life, this was a member of the "Art Pitcher", before entering AKB, she won the first place in a model competition in Kobe, even if she didn't join AKB, she was a model artist above the level.

In this way, she joined AKB as a 13th student, and since she joined, she has gained considerable attention, and the media has called her the strongest graduate student in AKB history, and her own ability is also quite good, and she was quickly promoted to Group K with a similar image to herself, and she also got a lot of advertising contracts and TV drama opportunities outside the team.

Surrounded by such an environment and treatment, she quickly became the darling of AKB and even the media, and during that time, she had a level of attention that was not inferior to that of TOP members, and it can be said that she was a leader of the AKB era who was very much expected and favored by countless people.

But...... Just as some girls look weak on the outside, but in fact have an incomparable root in their hearts, some girls look handsome and extraordinary, but their hearts may not be as brave and strong as their appearance.

Kaoru Komune, who debuted at the end of 2011, failed to make it to the final 64-man roster in the general election in June 2012, and then announced that she had graduated from AKB in October 12...... Less than a year.

This is actually a very talented and capable girl, not to mention the three things of singing and dancing models, the girl's artistic quality is also very good and even opened a personal exhibition, when Guangzong Kaoru's artistic talent was revealed, Zhou Xiao even associated her with Kudo Shizuka at the end of the kitten club that year. Because this kitten only joined at the end of the year, in addition to singing and dancing as an idol, he is also very good at painting, similar abilities and timing of joining, which made Zhou Xiao curious about whether Kaoru Guangzong could become Kudo Shizuka of AKB and create a legend of the last AKB.

The official statement is that the departure of Komso Kaoru is due to physical reasons, but everyone knows that the girl's departure cannot be just due to physical reasons.

The immediate reason for her departure was undoubtedly the defeat in the general election. directly caused the girl's departure.

In addition to this, Zhou Xiao estimated that the complex situation within AKB may also be a major incentive for the girl to leave the team.

The longer a team exists, the older it is, the more it will value these things, because only in this way can the members of the older generation use these to reflect their superiority. This is an example of how both Takarazuka and Yoshimoto Kogyo have lasted for more than 100 years in Japan, and this is especially true of AKB.

There is a passage in the AKB documentary that depicts this kind of difference, when the main members of AKB, such as the 9th and 10th students, were having fun in the backstage lounge, while the girls who had just entered the AKB, such as the draft students, hid in a very narrow corner on the edge of the lounge. Listen to the chatter and laughter of the seniors in the position next to the wall.

This scene...... To be honest, it does hurt to watch.

But...... That's the rule, but compared to other places, AKB has a lot of loose stuff. And if it is another situation, for example, there are seniors in the lounge at that time, and maybe these girls in the ninth and tenth phases will become hiding in the corner. And if Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuankang came to the backstage with some other big things, maybe the first and second students would also hide in the corner.

Such an AKB is undoubtedly very torturous for Kaoru Komune, who may be a little pretentious.

So, a defeat in the general election directly made the girl collapse, and after the general election, she cried and fell back to the backstage, and finally persevered for a few more months, and left this frustrated place safely.

If you really want to talk about mistakes or problems, this matter must first be said to be the fault of Komun Kaoru himself.

From the news of her joining the AKB to the general election, it has only been about half a year, what can I do in half a year? She thought she was destined to be, the strongest graduate student in the history of AKB, but in fact, she was nothing more than a newcomer who had just joined AKB, not to mention that her own appearance was not the soft and cute girl that most otaku liked.

She is not the only member who was strongly promoted soon after joining AKB, or who got a lot of opportunities, before and after her, there are many girls in AKB who have obtained similar opportunities, and among them, there are very few members who can pass such an opportunity as guò to quickly gain the recognition of the fans, and the results will also be reflected in the general election, which is a very test of the loyalty of the fans, there are very few members, Komune Kaoru ...... And don't have the ability to do that.

Under the double blow of huge expectations and embarrassing reality, Guang Zongxun finally chose to graduate, maybe she won't understand it at all when she graduates, this will become a very important stain in her life, and the evaluation that can't bear the blow will make her lose a lot of opportunities and lose a lot of trust.

Guangzong Xun in his previous life can be said to have left a very bad impression on Zhou Xiao, a fragile girl who can't withstand the blow is theoretically unworthy of a chance.

But...... At the same time, Zhou Xiao must also admit that Guang Zongxun's potential is very good, she has the potential to become an excellent artist, if the opportunity is right, her possibility of soaring into the sky is undoubtedly much higher than that of ordinary girls.

Therefore, after repeated struggles and deliberations, Zhou Xiao still recruited her into AZX, and she recruited her several years in advance.

The current Guangzong Kaoru is almost completely different from the Guangzong Kaoru in his previous life.

Now she is just a 16-year-old ordinary little girl with an unformed body and appearance, and she does not have the rumor of the first place in the modeling contest, as if it will overshadow the results of other AKB members.

Zhou Xiao thinks that this is the best, start from scratch, calm down and become an ordinary graduate student in AKB, and at the same time develop her modeling career, and if she really has a chance to win the model contest in the future, at that time, the thoughts of otaku will be another opinion!

There is no doubt that this is what Zhou Xiao wants to see the most.

And for the ninth phase students, the addition of Guang Zongxun will also be of great help, the girl's potential and ability, will allow her to show quite a good side when the nine students begin to enter the field of vision, when the time comes, the strength of Guang Zongxun will complement each other with the team of the nine students, not only to enhance her own attention, but also to enhance the attention of the entire nine students!
