The A6 performance was a very special performance, but it was also a rather regrettable performance, and this performance opened a very special door for AKB.

In the past, when it came to female idol performances, almost everyone had the impression of being soft, singing about young girls' friendships, loves, secret loves, or broken loves, but the A6 performance was completely different from the beginning, using the fall of the Berlin Wall as an entry point, contributing to an A6 performance with a completely different world view from a normal idol performance.

The popularity of AKB, the accumulation of years in theaters, and the importance of Group A, if it were not for these three supports, the A6 performance would not have been able to rush into such a profound and special theme, because there is no guarantee that the audience will definitely like it, and once the audience does not like it or treats it negatively, the performance is likely to fail.

The investment in preparing a performance is huge, from the music recording to the stage packaging, all of which are hired by some of Japan's top music and dance teachers, who spend a lot of time on the performance, and the corresponding remuneration is definitely not less.

If the performance fails, it must be renewed within a year, and the loss is in the tens of millions.

And that's not even counting the cost of running the theater.

But in Zhou Xiao's view, the unique worldview of the A6 performance is adventurous, but it also has its reasons for adventure.

The image of female idols is usually fixed, the image of a soft girl and those soft songs, people usually only think of this when they see female idols, A6's attempt, there is no doubt that it gives more and deeper connotations to female idols, a broader and more free image, if this performance is successful, then from now on, you can give female idols more and more profound things, let them explore life, explore profound themes such as justice or freedom.

Let's not talk about female idols or anything, can we really get to the point? Just thinking about the topic and attention that comes from this is already worth the risk.

But...... Zhou Xiao's A6 performance in history can only be regarded as half of the success.

The feedback from the A6 performances is actually quite good, and it is different from the worldview of the previous girl idol groups, which makes people feel new and not too resistant to this worldview.

In Zhou Xiao's opinion, this is enough, after all, it is the first time that AKB and even female idols have started to try these things, and it is acceptable that they are not so perfect, and after a long time, with more such attempts, you can make better things.

But here lies the most disappointing and disappointing problem.

After three performances of the new system in 2010. AKB headquarters has not been updated without new performances for five years, and the original stage and background, a work that tried to go out, but it has become the swan song of the team, all the ambitions and all the fantasies of the past, with the busyness of AKB and Yasuya Akimoto turned into goals that have been renewed every year, postponed every year, and a new world view. The long-awaited performance has become a joke that will never be renewed, although since 2010 AKB Group SKE and NMB have both renewed a performance, which can be used as two sub-groups. However, they did not dare to inherit the AKB's previous attempts, and for local groups, it is still the best choice to follow the conservative route of traditional idols.

For Zhou Xiao, since he has crossed over. Then the regret is to make up for it, and the AKB performance in this life must not be renewed for five years. He and Akimoto Yasu do it when they have time, and push it to others if they don't have time, anyway, the contracts of the members are in the company, and he doesn't need to use it as a word like Akimoto Yasu to ensure his necessity in the team.

Of course, how long and when the new performance can be updated in the future is a matter for the future, and now, Zhou Xiao is still only focusing on AKB's performance.

The scene of the fall of the Berlin Wall appeared on the projection screen of the stage, and everyone present who had not seen the performance showed strange looks on their faces.

"Witnesses" and "No One Before", two songs in a row, the rice has quieted down, and they have been brought into this performance.

There's not much to say about the general process of the performance, but at the end of the four songs, the members start to enter the MC and self-introduction stage, and then immediately enter the UNIT song.

Compared with the previous life, today's AKB three teams, the gold content of the members is very high, so in the arrangement of unit candidates, Zhou Xiao can be described as painstaking, among the five unit songs, Maeda and Takahashi are absolutely able to do center, especially Takahashi, in the A6 performance sang the song "Love Accelerator" solo, these two people's unit occupies a total of four places, then the remaining twelve places are covered by three songs, and the rest, Zhou Xiao marked the red line of the important members of the four, Including Mariko Shinoda, Yona Kojima, Rino Shihara and Li Jun, not only these four people, but even Takashiro Aki are also very important members at this stage.

In the end, due to the fact that the result of the struggle was similar to the previous life, the only difference is that the song "Flame Route" changed from Takashiro Aki and Finger Hara, to Li Chun and Finger Plain, and Takashiro Aki went to Kojima's unit, and the original Kojima's four-person unit became five, thus highlighting Kojima's center position, and behind her, Takashiro Aki and Tada Aika, and then behind Kobayashi Coriander and Akatsuko Mingxiang, a unit was divided into three layers.

And the fifth unit, which lost one person, also highlighted Shinoda's center position with a lineup of five people, in fact, in a group of performances, there was some resistance to arranging two units with the same number of people, such as the original setting of this performance, which was arranged for Kojima with four units, and with Shinoda with six units, which was actually not highlighted.

Although he had the same concerns, Zhou Xiao still let Shinoda and Kojima have their own well-deserved centers.

On the whole, the song arrangement of the A6 performance is very different from Zhou Xiao's A6 performance in the previous life, and the only difference should be in the last song.

The song "Pioneer" was taken out by Zhou Xiao very early as the team song of Group A, because of the fetters of Group A, the sense of storage of this song is very high, although it failed to win the next song ranking of 100 like the first day of Group B, it has always been not low in the song ranking. Especially for example, in the AKB's first major sports meeting held last fall, and in the final performance of the AKB three groups held at the end of last year, this song was sung many times, and the most deeply touched and reluctant to this song was Mai Oshima and Itano Tomomi, the former A members like Minami Minegishi who will move the team, and the scene of the original A members singing this song with tears and snot in the mood of "singing "Pioneer for the last time" in Group A has been in the hearts of the rice people for a long time.

What song to replace such an important song? It can be said that when the A6 is performed, this is the most important problem for Zhou Xiao to grab his hair and want to die.

Zhou Xiao has a lot of songs in his mind. But most of these songs are not suitable as the ending song of the whole performance, like many AKB released singles, the quality of these singles is actually not very good, and they can be released as singles, mainly because of their unforgettable melody, but such songs are not very meaningful at the end of the performance, and a song that often depicts girls' youthful crushes and simple delusions is not suitable for appearing here.

In the end, Zhou Xiao chose a song that was also very important for AKB.

The original location of the song. It is the theme song of AKB's first documentary.

The name is ...... "The First Rabbit".

The theme song of AKB documentaries has always been excellent, such as this one, such as the second documentary "Girl たちよ", which brought this song to the A6 performance. Zhou Xiao is actually quite reluctant, because in the first documentary, accompanying the growth of the girls is the most important position for this song.

But there is no way, in Zhou Xiao's heart. There are so few songs that can replace the song "Pioneer", and only this song with a lot of meaning is qualified to appear here.

As for the documentary, which will be released in about a year. What song to choose to replace "The First Rabbit", Zhou Xiao has already thought of the song to replace in his heart, this song...... In fact, it was not composed by Zhou Xiao, and Zhou Xiao was not even going to ask Yasu Akimoto to compose the lyrics for this song, because what he chose was the song that originally belonged to Michiru Hoshino in his previous life to send off Mai Oshima.

Come on! ("ガンバレ!"), the original song, the first time it was sung was at the 2009 God Performance Concert, when Hoshino Orii said goodbye to Mai Oshima.

In this life, this song did not appear on the stage in 2009 or even on the album of Michiru Hoshino, who later graduated from AKB and became a solo singer, because this song was accepted by AZX, as a song in the AZX song library, this song was originally expected to be used on AKB members when Zhou Xiao expected.

AKB graduates will write the theme song of the new documentary, and the lyrics will be composed by several important AKB members such as Minami Takahashi, Atsuko Maeda, and Yuko Oshima, which has excellent representative significance in Zhou Xiao's opinion. The biggest difference between Zhou Xiao AKB and Akimoto Yasu AKB is that AKB is now a single firm-led combination, even AKB's graduates, most of the members' contracts are still in AZX, so in terms of treating graduates, the current AKB is much better than Zhou Xiao's previous life, in the previous life, because of the graduation of members, contract ownership and other issues, not only is it troublesome to invite graduated members to come back to perform, but it is also very troublesome to use the portrait rights of members, and it is necessary to code the graduating members at every turn.

The current AZX is much better, and most of the graduating members belong to AZX, that is, members like Mita Yurika who want to be an announcer after graduation and work for a TV station, will completely terminate the contract with AZX.

AKB's close relationship with the graduating members is a bit like the company operation strategy of the Good Morning Girl Group, but the difference is that the graduating members of Good Morning Niang are very strong, of course, this is also because the peak of Good Morning Niang has passed, like Goto Maki, Hitomi Yoshizawa, Kei Hoda, Yaguchi Shinri and other members are all members who have experienced the peak era of Good Morning, and they are also influential members in variety shows and the Japanese entertainment industry, and after the gradual decline, the appearance of the latecomer members is not particularly good, Therefore, between the graduating members and the group crew, the graduating members are in an absolutely strong position.

AKB is not like this, AKB's current members are the absolute strongest members, on the other hand, graduation is in a relatively weak position, such AKB to invite graduate members to appear on the current AKB stage or project, it will only make people feel that AKB is nostalgic, always remembering, and supporting AKB when he was the weakest child. As AKB members, this will also give the current AKB members a lot of peace of mind, because even if they graduate, AZX will ensure that they have a job to do and ensure their career as artists. The comparison between the strength of such a graduate and the active members does not make people feel that the graduating members have stolen the limelight from the current members.

After "The First Rabbit", the A6 performance finally came to an end.

The evaluation of the whole performance is still very good, especially after adding a worldview that female idol artists did not have in the past, and the outside world is still very appreciative of such an attempt as AKB, which is now the leader of the Japanese idol circle. The idea that it is a new Japanese national group is basically no longer denied, and since they are leading figures, it is natural for them to make new attempts, but if you don't do it, who will do it?

Three days after the A6 performance, the K6 performance was also performed.

The K6 performance had a more stringent unit selection than the A6 performance, and in the end, Tomomi Itano, Sae Miyazawa, and Jurina Matsui each got a unit center position. Their unit is a three-person lineup, and among the other six members, Yuko Oshima and Mai Oshima got a chorus, and Akimoto and the other four served as the singers of another unit.

A member of the unit song of Saika Akimoto. Including Minami Minegishi, Ayaka Kikuchi and Sakuko Matsui, the status and importance of these four people in the team are more even, among which Akimoto and Minami Minegishi stand in the center of the team. It can be said that it is a unit song without a center position.

And the unit song between Yuko Oshima and Mai Oshima, Zhou Xiao is also very nerve-wracking.

The second and fourth members of the general election have the same surname. The relationship between these two people has always been quite delicate, although they have not really torn each other apart and are incompatible with each other, but the two still can't trust each other 100%.

Zhou Xiao's special relationship with Yuko Oshima, coupled with the strength of Yuko Oshima's general election, can certainly make him save as an absolute ACE in Group K, but at this stage, the popularity and recognition outside AKB are preemptive, so Mai Oshima will not feel that she is worse than Yuko Oshima, and the cooperation between the two at the beginning is actually a bit like Mars hitting the earth.

But...... Whenever they saw the fight between these two people, Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuankang would look at each other and smile, because ...... Isn't that interesting? Two girls with very good potential, in order to become strong, they have to fight, and in this battle, they have to cooperate with each other and forge ahead together, this play...... Isn't it pretty?

In the end, Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuan Yasu had a special chat with Shuang Da Dao, and asked them about their struggles and their respective opinions, Zhou Xiao was responsible for composing the music, and Qiu Yuan Yasu was responsible for composing the lyrics, creating a brand new song that originally did not exist in history.

This song takes the common surname of the two as the starting point, describing a pair of sisters with completely different personalities, the story of falling in love with the same boy, in fact, songs like this story are not uncommon in AKB, for example, when Yuki Kashiwagi was concurrently in NMB, Yasusu Akimoto created a choral song full of lust for Kashiwagi and Miyuki Watanabe "The Monopoly of the Heart", this song gives full play to the sexiness and fishing skills of the two, which can be said to be a match made in heaven performance.

As for the choral repertoire of Shuangoshima, it is impossible to use sexiness as the main direction of description, and the final disclosure in the song is that Yuko Oshima is energetic and straightforward, while Mai Oshima is full of scheming temptation and demon-like means.

After finally getting the song, Yuko Oshima and Mai Oshima are very satisfied, of course, this is also inseparable from Zhou Xiao's continuous psychological work for the two, in Zhou Xiao's statement, AKB is facing popularity, and the number of performances the two of them is actually not too much, maybe the chances of attending the performance in a year can be counted on one hand except for the first day and the Christmas festival, so it is unrealistic to rely on long-term performances to get attention and fame, in this case, Why not choose a song that is full of topics like this and use it as a way to raise awareness?

And this is the biggest modification made by the K6 performance.

After the K6 performance, of course, it will be the B5 performance.

The form of group B is also subtle, in the previous original performances of group B, when Mayou and Airi did not grow into a strong enough center, Zhou Xiao has always arranged the two into a combination form and played in the chorus in the unit, but when K5 performed, the two were already 16 years old, which is already the golden age of idols, so in the B5 performance, the two won their own unit songs for the first time.

Mayu Watanabe's unit song doesn't say anything, it's the same as before, Airi Suzuki's unit song, Zhou Xiao chose "When I Go Home, You Ride a Bicycle, I Take the Tram" ("Jun は自転車私は電車で帰宅") originally released by the idol group Cute to which Airi Suzuki belongs.

This song describes the youthful love affair of a teenager and a girl, and it was just right for Airi Suzuki, who was just sixteen years old at this time, as for the other members of this song next to Airi Suzuki, Zhou Xiao finally chose Ayaka Umeda and Natsumi Hirashima, in fact, Ayaka Umeda and Natsumi Xiao are not very suitable for this song, but Zhou Xiao has no other choice, among the members of Group B who sing well, except for the members who will definitely be unitcenter, the best singing is about Ayaka Umeda, Amina Sato and Yuka Masuda and Nami Okumana, But Amina and Masuda want to sing "Candy" with Tomomi Kawanishi, this song is sung by the three of them can be said to be the most appropriate and balanced, and it is really not suitable for breaking up, and in the end Zhou Xiao had to choose these two members as Airi Suzuki's helpers.

As for the other two units, Yuki Kashiwagi got her solo as usual, and Ono was arranged by Zhou Xiao to sing with four girls including Mukai Moxia, although it is not outstanding to be a center in the five-person unit, but Ono doesn't care much about this now, because Zhou Xiao gave her solo debut before.

AKB's three groups of performances are updated in this state, and all the updates of the three groups of performances in a short period of time are not very popular with ordinary audiences, but for the AKB Group, especially for those core meals, this three-team update is quite exciting, with new performances, new teams, and new challenges and impacts, and everyone is looking forward to a new chemical reaction in the future AKB performances.
