Chapter 498: General Election!

On the stage, a beam of lights came down, and in the light, a girl in neat trousers stood there with her head bowed.

Then, the rhythmic music sounded, and the girl in the lights danced with power and vitality to the music.

This piece of rhythmic music is a joint work between LDH's arranger and Zhou Xiao, and the main rhythm is AKB works, but the whole music arrangement style is more inclined to EXILE, if you are a professional musician, or ordinary people can easily hear this style if you listen to it a few times.

Through the close-up of the moment when the girl stops, the audience recognizes the girl who is dancing, it is Natsumi Matsubara, who has just been announced to be emigrating during the day.

The second generation of students based on TeamK, a song called "EndRoll", is sung by the so-called Umejima Natsuyo, this Umejima Natsuyo, refers to the four members who danced very well in the second phase of life, Umeda Ayaka, Oshima Yuko, Matsubara Natsumi and Noro Kayo.

Of the four, the first two remain in AKB today, while the other two have moved to A&E.

Matsubara Natsumi's dance is very good, and with her dance, the whole theater is enthusiastic, and the rice is cheering and shouting, and this solo dance, even a layman, can see the strength of the dancer.

Matsubara Natsumi's dance came to an end, and the lights that had followed her were turned off, but the stage did not fall into darkness, and the lights that had been chasing Matsubara Natsumi became two lights chasing the other two.

After the same two wonderful dances, the lights changed to three lights chasing the other three people, and three new members joined the dance.

Finally, six lights were lit up at the same time, and the six girls started their dance at the same time.

After about thirty seconds of dancing in the lights, the voices of two girls, Aya Takamoto and Mami Nakajima, sounded under two other lights of slightly different colors.

"高いビルのObservatoryのぼって君とふたり...... い空と小さくえる街ドキドキしちゃう......"

(Say...... This Japanese lyrics ...... How is piracy solved? Hahahaha. )

The lyrics full of power and vitality made the audience in the venue accept this song that they had never heard before almost instantly, and the eight girls on the stage. With the singing, the dance began to be more intense, but very beautiful!

In just a few tens of seconds, the stage and the audience seemed to become a whole in an instant, and everyone was jumping to the music!

If it's just the current performance of Cheng Dù, in fact, the table of the eight girls is already quite good, and the beautiful and rhythmic music and dance make people remember the few people dancing on the stage almost instantly, but ...... This is what Zhou Xiao started to help produce more than a month in advance, if this is not enough.

So...... What did Zhou Xiao supervise? In fact, he was not familiar with dance or anything, but there was something he proposed that people who had no experience in later generations could not mention.

I saw eight people on the stage walk to the top of the stage. Stood under the large floor-to-ceiling screen and ...... The big screen lit up.

Eight even bigger figures, the same figure as the eight girls below, appeared on the big screen!

First there were eight people dancing, then two of them, three of them, five of them, and even more so the audience on the big screen didn't just see the dance. It's a dance combined with CG! The girls who seem to have wings on their bodies, who can make flowers bloom with every movement, or the girls who have lightning gliding, are seen by the audience. It is a modern show where dancers and big-screen CG are organically combined! At the most powerful time, a 3D picture even appeared on the entire big screen, and several girls performed a dreamlike performance!

"Oh???" "Wow!!" "Ahhhh

The audience was surprised at first. Later, surprise turned into surprise, and finally, surprise became a kind of "although I don't know how to make it." But it's so powerful", and even many people simply lose the ability to think, and just look at the performance on the stage in a daze!

The audience is like this.,The members who didn't know anything in the background are even more so.,The audience who likes AKB are otaku or similar creatures.,Such people themselves are very close to the Internet.,I've also seen some CG and the like.,The acceptance of this very trendy art will be very fast.,Most of these members in the backstage are teenage girls.,I've never seen such a cool and novel thing in my life.,Everyone is looking at the monitor with their mouths open, There are even many girls who simply ran to both sides of the backstage and stared at the big screen stupidly.

"Brother Zhou Xiao is so amazing! It's amazing! "Actually, this thing was not made by Zhou Xiao, but there is nothing wrong with thinking that Zhou Xiao is powerful, because this idea is the entire storyboard that he proposed and designed.

"Did you really make this up?" Although it was in the backstage in public, Yuko Oshima still stood beside Zhou Xiao, and the two looked at a separate monitor together, and for some reason there was no one else around.

"How could I do this kind of animation, it was done by someone from the game department, I just came up with an idea." Zhou Xiao said.

"I'm just talking about the idea, the person who does it by himself is just a worker at most, it's really amazing...... I can't imagine you would come up with such a thing. Yuko Oshima said.

"Look at me, no, I was the one who played sand painting on stage back then." Zhou Xiao said.

"Artist...... It's just different. Yuko Oshima glanced at Zhou Xiao meaningfully.

Zhou Xiao looked at Yuko Oshima and didn't say anything, he actually wanted to go over and hug the girl, but in this public, even if the members had basically confirmed something in their hearts, it was still inconvenient for Zhou Xiao to really do anything.

The singing and dancing on the stage has also begun to enter the highest level by this time. During the tide period, the combination of CG and girls' dance is seamless, this kind of CG combined performance, after 2010, began to appear on the common stage, and now in 2009, Zhou Xiao made it out at just the right time, neither wasting too much time and money on CG production, nor falling behind, and the audience will also watch it very novel, because this is almost a novel performance method that they have never been exposed to.

This song and dance used many passages from AKB songs, as well as a new song that Zhou Xiao gave to the eight of them, and the whole performance lasted more than ten minutes. It is one of the most important passages in the concert.

In fact, this performance also surprised the TV station staff who came to interview, originally AKB's current level, the news of the TV station that opened a concert would not leave too much time, but this time, in the news program the next morning, most of the news reported on the AKB concert, and the whole news lasted for a long time, and it was easy to talk about various surprises throughout the concert.

What's more. After editing this video, Zhou Xiao also put it on the Internet, European and American netizens are also full of praise for this performance, with the help of the viral spread of the Internet, this video has easily received tens of millions of views in Europe and the United States, and has occupied an important position on European and American video websites for a considerable period of time.

Of course, that's all for later, and now it's on stage. As soon as the eight girls finished their performances, the lights came on, and several other girls, led by Minami Takahashi, took to the stage.

"Babbling......" Takahashi Minami walked on the stage with a complicated face, and said as he walked: "I really didn't expect it." Brother Zhou Xiao actually made such a powerful song and dance for you. ”

"yes, we were scared at the first rehearsal." Nakajima said also.

"Seeing this kind of performance makes me want to graduate...... "Takahashi said.

"Takamina's words, so far away. I'm afraid you can only see the CG on the big screen. "There are girls who joke about Minami Takahashi's height.

AKB's so-called "God Performance" concert, its full name is actually "God Performance", due to many factors. It is also possible that it will not be able to become a god performance, so I hope you will understand.

In other words, in terms of operation, it is actually very clear that there is no god performance in the world, even if it is a god performance, it is all evaluated by latecomers, and it is impossible to call itself a god performance before the performance is born, so this title can only be a title, and it is just a joke title.

But...... Although it can't really become a god performance, Zhou Xiao's choreography has really left something to remember for this performance, just a performance by eight members is enough to make audiences all over the world admire.

After the eight-member performance, the stage continued to be handed over to the AKB girls, and the other members who had been resting for nearly ten minutes appeared on their own and began to show the next performances to the fans, perhaps because they felt that the previous performance stage was perfect, and they didn't want to be left behind, the girls' performances were obviously better than before, everyone's movements and performance were more than a step higher, and the whole stage was full of energy and explosiveness.

Another more than an hour passed in a flash, because it was the final performance, so the schedule of this concert was longer than the previous two, but no matter how long the concert was, there was an end, and finally, this unforgettable performance of God was about to end.

Before the encore began, the members were waiting backstage, when Yona Kojima suddenly asked, "Huh?" Brother Zhou Xiao, why didn't you change your clothes? ”

The members looked over and found that this was indeed the case, Zhou Xiao was only wearing the concert staff jacket he wore backstage, and Zhou Xiao was wearing a more formal suit every time he appeared on the stage to make a surprise announcement.

"I won't be on the stage for today's announcement." Zhou Xiao said.

"Huh? Anyone else publishing? The members all asked. For more than three years, Zhou Xiao's debut members have long been accustomed to it, why did they suddenly say they wouldn't do it?

"No, it's no one else, you'll find out later." Zhou Xiao said.

"Good...... All right. The members reluctantly accepted Zhou Xiao's sale.

Soon, the encore began, and the members poured onto the stage to begin their last two songs, while Zhou Xiao stood under the stage, waiting for the final announcement.

At the end of the two songs, Minami Takahashi made the final summary and published, and then ...... The whole venue went dark.

No one was surprised, everyone knew that the most important announcement after the concert was coming.

Yesterday and today, before today's concert, AKB made a total of four surprise announcements, the Budokan concert, the "Idol Project Where You Can Meet", the eight-person transfer A&E, and finally the eight-term student audition. Each of the four surprise announcements is actually very good, but since these four announcements are not placed at the end, it is obvious that this final surprise announcement will be the most powerful one, whether it is the dinner at the concert venue, or the meal that is waiting for the live broadcast of pictures and text on the Internet, almost everyone is discussing what this final announcement will be, and now, this announcement has finally arrived, and surprisingly, this final announcement. It didn't even appear Zhou Xiao, but with ...... Pre-recorded video way!

"In the middle of the AKB48 stage, the floor is marked with the number ......"

The camera advances from the deepest part of the stage, and in the distance, the stage seems to gather all the light in the world.

"That's the number that indicates the position of the dancer, and they confirm their position according to the number, counting down from both sides of the stage, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...... The center is...... 0, the center is also known as the center, the center...... is the protagonist of AKB48. A member who is able to stand in that position...... There is only one. ”

After a quiet monologue by a woman, the camera pans off the stage.

"In the end, isn't it all up to the operation to decide who stands in which position?" A man's voice asked.

"XXX's popularity is obviously very high. But he can't stand on the stage without being pushed. ”

"There's no way, it's been like this from beginning to end, and it's been like this before......"

All the voices are saying one thing. Is it a question? Can't count, right? Idol group or something, it's not a fool in terms of operation, and it can be said. Compared with the fans, who have been operating the entertainment media industry for so many years, they must know the artists better than the fans.

The subtitle appears again: "But...... Do you have any regrets? It's just her own support, but she can't get her to a better position? ”

"So...... We decided. ”

"In June 2009, the first AKB48 single ranking was decided by the fans, that is, the first AKB48 single selection general election!"

"Oh oh oh oh !!" The rice cooks were completely surprised, and they realized that they could still play like this!

Compared with the rice, it is the members who are more affected, Atsuko Maeda bites her lip, anyone can see how bad her mood is at the moment, Mai Oshima put one hand on her chest, trying to calm her super-fast heartbeat, Yuko Oshima in the background glanced at Zhou Xiao, she couldn't see much on her expression, but her two hands were clenched tightly...... (Actually, God performed this concert, because he had to have throat surgery, Yuko Oshima only did MC and other simple appearances.) )

Mayu Watanabe and Airi Suzuki looked at each other and didn't know what to do, while Rino Hara and Yuki Kashiwagi wondered if they could make it to the final ranking......

Idols have always been taboo about rankings, opponents and other terms, although the whole world knows that members are first and foremost opponents before they are teammates, but members still have to create a feeling that it doesn't matter who stands at the front, everyone is a good friend.

This is true from the kitten club in the 80s to the Good Morning Girls group and now AKB48.

But now, Zhou Xiao and Akimoto Yasu's AKB has pierced one thing that everyone once knew, but no one would say, and the members, some may like it, some may hate it, but there is no doubt that they will all face this test.

Yuko Maeda Oshima, who is the strongest one? Will Mai Oshima really be a spoiler?

Past life in H! Airi Suzuki, who has the best qualifications and the most popularity, what kind of results will he achieve now? And what kind of test will her friendship with Mayu Watanabe experience under the general election?

There is also Yuki Kashiwagi, who used to be a third-term student and is now a fifth-term student, is she still like Zhou Xiao's previous life, and won the ninth place in the first general election? Two years later, will she be able to fight back from eighth to third place in one fell swoop like in her previous life?

As for the original ...... The first 27th place, can she successfully climb to the first place queen's seat?

AKB was established in 2005, and the beginning of AKB's great era was pulled away from this moment!

"Do you think I'll get the first place?" Yuko Oshima asked Zhou Xiao beside him.

"I don't know." Zhou Xiao said.

"Will you let me take the first place?" She asked again.

"No, if you can get the first place, it's your own doing, I won't help anyone." Zhou Xiao said.

"That'...... Why are you making this thing? The girl asked.

"Don't you think it's going to be fun?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"No, it's not fun at all......" Yuko Oshima said.

"If it's not fun...... Don't just take it as a joke, beat her up and become the center of the AKB. Zhou Xiaodao.

In fact, the girls who really came to the top, everyone is very unwilling to admit defeat, not to mention Maeda Oshima, the cry of Mayu's first general election, the actual regret in Oshima's heart when he lost to Tsuchihara, the unwillingness in Shinoda when he said please to defeat me, and even Yoona Kojima, Itano Tomomi's unwillingness, AKB's general election will be a tragicomedy in the future, the members are actors, but the rice is not the audience, because every one of them is a participant in this big drama.

The general election, not the ranking, not the attention, the general election itself, is the highest proof of AKB48. (To be continued......)
