Saitama Super Arena, half an hour before the start of AKB's third concert in the spring CON.

The entrance to the dinner hall has long since ended, and the backstage members have basically rested, changed their clothes and prepared to appear.

"Hey! Which of you saw Shinoda yet? In the background, a figure was walking around and asked.

Yuko is looking for Shinoda, but even though she walks all over the backstage, she can't find Shinoda in the background.

"Strange ......" Yuko stopped, she didn't have anything to do with Shinoda looking for it, but ...... Inexplicably, she was just a little uneasy, so she suddenly wanted to find Shinoda very much.

"Shinoda-san's words, it just seems like she's going to the lounge...... "One of the SKE girls said boldly.

"Really? Thanks, I'll check it out! Yuko ran all the way to the lounge.

Because it is a concert, there is no special lounge for AKB girls, and this lounge is reserved for guests and important people who come to the concert.

Therefore, after Yuko came over, she did not hesitate to go to the largest lounge, where Zhou Xiao's name was naturally pasted on the door number.

"Knock knock." "Who is it?" Zhou Xiao's voice came from the lounge.

"I, is Mariko there?" Yuko agreed.

Instead of answering, the man in the lounge heard the sound of standing up and walking, and then ...... The door was opened.

After opening the door, Zhou Xiao let go of his body, and Yuko was not surprised to see Shinoda who was lying there playing with his mobile phone.

"Ah, Yuko. Is there something wrong? Shinoda said with both of his calves swinging and looking relaxed.

"Why don't you go out and prepare for the concert?" Yuko asked as she entered the room.

"I'm ready, I'm ready to play." Shinoda didn't take his eyes off his phone.

"You're really in trouble!" Yuko said with certainty.

Shinoda shook his hand holding the phone.

She quickly understood where her flaw was. That is, she was too deliberate.

Shinoda is actually a very hard-working girl, and she almost never relaxes her preparations for performances and concerts, and as the person who knows Shinoda best in the team, Yuko doesn't believe that Shinoda will be in the mood to play games before the performance.

"You're going to ...... Graduate? Yuko asked, looking at Shinoda who seemed to be concentrating on the game.

She's a really smart girl.

"I knew that...... Forming a cabinet or something, no matter what, it should be carried out in the last and third games, and there is only one reason why it will be advanced to the second game. There are other more important announcements that account for the last time of the third game! Yuko said.

She's right, the second game is a hint that something important is going to happen. And what will happen at this time, in addition to the operation, is only the business of the members themselves.

There aren't many people who can announce graduation on such an occasion, and Yuko is then connected with Shinoda's disappearance and strange response. It was easy to guess the fact that the girl was going to graduate.

Yuko, who figured things out, ran two steps and threw herself on Shinoda as a whole!

"Ahh Yuko! Shinoda screamed as he was crushed.

"I don't want you to go!" Yuko shouted coquettishly.

"I'm going to graduate sooner or later." Shinoda Road.

"But...... You're gone. I'm the only one left......" The girl lying on Shinoda is small, and she is just saying such lines as if she was an abandoned child.

"Why is it that you're left, isn't there still nyannyan, and...... With him, what are you worried about? Shinoda pointed to Zhou Xiao, who was watching from the side.

"If you don't say I forgot! Say! Didn't you let Shinoda graduate! Yuko jumped up like a spring, ran to Zhou Xiao's side in three steps and two steps, and pounced on Zhou Xiao with almost the same force as she had just pounced on Shinoda.

"Be careful!" Shinoda was lying on the sofa when he was pounced, but Zhou Xiao was standing now. The girl threw her whole body over, and Zhou Xiao accidentally couldn't catch it. Yuko is likely to fall to the ground.

Holding the girl like a child, Zhou Xiao said: "This time it was really not what I asked for." ”

In fact, Yuko herself knows that a few days ago, Xiao Xia Hai wanted to graduate, and the man had just done such a bloody thing, but ...... She didn't forget that Yumi Itano and Mai Oshima were the ones Zhou Xiao asked to graduate.

"Do you have to graduate......" Yuko asked with Zhou Xiao hugging her tightly.

A position like this is the one that the two of them usually "use" the most, and Yuko, who is very light, sometimes simply pounces on Zhou Xiao and wanders around the room after going home, even if sometimes the man cooks in the kitchen, the girl still hangs on the man's body and can't get down, because of this habit, Yuko's back is even scalded by oil and water several times and is reluctant to come down.

"Hey, you two, are you talking about my graduation or are you tuning. Love!? Shinoda asked dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss." Zhou Xiao patted the girl on his body and said.

"Do you have to graduate?" The girl asked a little unwillingly.

"It's a choice she made on her own, and we have to respect it, and ...... It's just an AKB graduate, isn't it......" Zhou Xiao said.

That's right, the main reason why Zhou Xiao didn't care too much about Shinoda graduation is naturally this, Shinoda is nothing more than not doing AKB, but she won't leave, for rice, she may feel that she will be farther and farther away from her in the future, but for Zhou Xiao and Yuko, graduation will not change their relationship with each other.

What's more, Shinoda is still an artist of AZX, and now the AZX fashion circle has formed a pretty good circle, including Shinoda, Itano, Kiriko Takemura, Nozomi Kawasaki and other former AKB members, have begun to gradually establish their own style and market.

"Speaking of which, I'm still good, when you announce it, Nyannyan and Jurina, Xiao Ao and they must be super sad." Yuko got down from Zhou Xiao and said.

"yes, so wait for the announcement. It's up to you to take care of Nyannyan. Shinoda sat up as well.

"Alas...... Something like that...... I don't know how many more times it will be in the future. Yuko said.

Yuko quickly adjusted her mood, she was similar to Zhou Xiao, she was the kind of person who would not have the slightest impact on the relationship between the two parties even if Shinoda graduated. Of course, there is a big reason for knowing this matter in private, if it is on stage, under the infection of the meal and atmosphere, Yuko will definitely be very excited.

"If you don't want to send you away too many times, you have to graduate by yourself." Shinoda laughed.

"Haha, don't be stupid. Shinoda, just say that you have graduated, and Yuko will graduate in the future. Maeda graduates, can you not come? Zhou Xiao told the truth.

"This ...... Well, I'll admit, no one can escape. Shinoda said with some deflatment.

"Alright. It's about the same time. Let's go out and enjoy today's live first. Zhou Xiao said.

"Yes! Enjoy today's live! Shinoda said, pulling Yuko along.

"That's all it can be......" Yuko said helplessly.

Not long after the three of them came out of the lounge, the concert was about to officially begin.

Zhou Xiao did not go to the audience, but walked out of the backstage with a camera.

He decided to record Shinoda concert in this way.

His photography skills can't be said to be very good, but after many years of directorial career, at least he can do quite well with light and the like, and the photos he usually takes are also sought after by some people.

So throughout the concert, Zhou Xiao stayed honestly under the stage, recording every bit of Shinoda with his camera. All the way to the end.

The last part of the AKB concert has always been a series of singles, and the youthful energy of the girls. It is the clearest and most wonderful thing to show on this occasion.

Zhou Xiao's camera is mostly chasing Shinoda's figure, and only occasionally photographs other people, in the past, if he was allowed to shoot like this, the camera in his hand would not have any preference, but when shooting today, Zhou Xiao found that in addition to Shinoda, the person he was most sought after by his camera turned out to be ...... Maeda?

Maeda's girl has now cut her hair short, in fact, Yuko has recently cut a relatively short hairstyle, it turns out that for cute and beautiful women with small faces, short hair is really a hairstyle that shows their image, Maeda Yuko Shinoda is like this, and relatively speaking, the hairstyle with short hair is much easier to take care of than long hair, especially in a group of hundreds of people like AKB, Maeda who jumps in the center of the stage, looks very cute.

She actually looked very tired, and when she ran and jumped, the girl was even a little out of breath.

But...... The girl in Zhou Xiao's camera, the smile on her face really can't be stopped.

Because of a very special relationship, Yuko and Shinoda Kojima and other members have always been the people that Zhou Xiao pays the most attention to, even Yameina, but for Maeda, his attention has always been not small, for this girl, Zhou Xiao is most concerned about her spiritual feelings, and he has been paying attention to Maeda's mood in the team.

Maeda in his previous life, after graduation, he had revealed many times about how hard he had spent his last two years in AKB, which was the last thing Zhou Xiao wanted to see, he hoped that the girls could spend their time at AKB happily, and hoped that when they graduated, at least they couldn't have thoughts like "it's finally over" and "finally got rid of".

Zhou Xiao's camera was attracted by this Maeda again and again, no way, the child's recent state ...... It's so cute.

Such Maeda...... Zhou Xiao suddenly thought of the general election that would come later this year, and Maeda did not participate in this general election in history, but if she wanted to participate this year...... In this state...... I'm afraid Yuko will have a hard time winning...... Could it be that in the previous life, AKB Group did many times and failed to achieve the championship, should it be realized by mistake here in Zhou Xiao?

The concert is coming to an end soon.

At the end of this concert in history, Maeda was very emotional because he was about to announce his graduation, but now Maeda is much better, the girl infects everyone in the stadium with an invincible smile, but this is not the case with Shinoda in Zhou Xiao's camera.

Just like Tomomi Itano and Mai Oshima's reluctance before graduation, if she really asked Shinoda what she wanted, she would definitely not want to graduate.

Her image and route. It is not easy to continue to survive well in the entertainment industry after graduation, and if she can, she actually doesn't want to graduate. It was reason that made her make this choice in the end, because graduation at this time is the best for Zhou Xiao and AKB.

Yes, this is something that she and Zhou Xiao are very clear about.

At this time in 2012, after two years of popularity, AKB has begun to show a little fatigue, and it has been a full year since the graduation of Tomomi Itano and Mai Oshima caused a lot of buzz and attention. This is when it is time to boost the news with the heavyweight publication of a heavyweight member.

Shinohada's graduation will inevitably cause shock in the entire Japanese entertainment industry. It's like Zhou Xiao's graduation from Maeda in his previous life.

Even if Shinoda is not at the level of Maeda, because of this special time, the girl will definitely get the attention of all parties.

This is indeed a great opportunity.

Although Shinoda understands that no matter how great the opportunity is, there is no greater danger she faces. But in the end, she made such a choice.

Zhou Xiao's camera. The girl's face was already covered with sweat, and her short and neat hair was attached to her face, and the whole person seemed to be drenched in heavy rain.

Shinoda bloomed,It's a little unexpected situation for many people.,The girls are more or less surprised.,Because when it comes to singing and dancing,Shinoda is not the one who often shows a lot of strength.,Her singing and dancing are usually barely qualified.。 What makes her strong is her character and image, but when she gets serious. The kind of contagion she shows is also superhuman.

Zhou Xiao could see that many girls were silently communicating with their eyes during the concert, and they ...... What should have been understood.

Even the rice, who watched the show in front of the computer or even in the theater, may not be able to take care of too many situations due to the camera switch and are in a state where they don't know what is happening, but the audience at the scene feels Shinoda at this moment.

Her attachment and her reluctance have all been revealed through this state.

Finally came to the end.

After the encore song ended, Takahashi Minami was already preparing for the end.

"That...... I have something to say. Shinoda first glanced at Yuko beside her, and then glanced at Zhou Xiao's position in the audience, and then she raised her hand.

Through the microphone, her voice was heard.

"Whoa!!! Tens of thousands of people in the entire stadium, and even in movie theaters all over Japan, shouted at this moment.

"No......"

"Don't!"

"Oh my God......!"

Rice, especially core rice, is very sensitive, and at this time, a person suddenly stands up to speak, and you can imagine what it means.

The same is true for the members, Yuko has quietly walked behind Kojima, the relationship between Kojima and Shinoda is the best, the two of them, the image route is similar but they have taken different paths, and they are the most compatible together, so Shinoda announced his graduation, and Kojima must have been hit the hardest.

Zhou Xiao in the audience slightly removed the camera in his hand and waved his hand at Yamei Cai not far from the stage.

Amina, who was also a little distracted on the stage, quickly saw Zhou Xiao beckoning below.

"Jurina!" Zhou Xiao didn't say anything, but just by relying on the shape of her mouth, Yamei Cai easily thought of the target that Zhou Xiao asked her to find.

Jurina is indeed another member who needs special treatment at this time.

In the center of the stage, Shinoda continued: "Six years ago, I was actually quite old. At that time, I had actually been in Tokyo for more than two years.

It's a pity that although I longed for the entertainment industry at that time, many times, I couldn't even pass the primary and secondary selections of those auditions.

Actually, I knew that I was a bit bad at the time.

Truth be told, AKB48...... Most likely my last attempt.

After joining AKB, the reason why I wanted to stay at the café as a clerk was not because I still had expectations, but because I wanted to save enough money to go home......"

Shinoda slowly talked about her mental journey in AKB over the years, there is no doubt about her efforts, even with a relationship with Zhou Xiao, she is still the one who can memorize the entire performance in only four days, and the same is true for the A6 period, and it took a few afternoons to practice her own performance part.

"Quite a bit of a mistake, I actually got the opportunity to become a member of AKB48 in such a special way......

Become a member of AKB48, be an idol, and enter the entertainment industry, in fact...... This is enough to fulfill all my dreams, as far as going to the Budokan, the Red and White Song Festival, and even the Tokyo Dome...... When Brother Zhou Xiao told us such a goal, I didn't take it seriously in my heart at all......

At that time, I thought that it would be better to be an idol for a few years and make some money, and it would be better to get a little opportunity in the field of fashion, and then find a rich husband, and my life would be ......completely complete," Shinoda said.

"But...... Who would have thought that this road walked and walked...... It really worked. ”

"In the past two years, we have achieved everything that we never dreamed of before, and even Tokyo Dome is about to be trampled under the feet of the outside...... All this ...... It's really amazing! ”

Saying this, Shinoda paused, and after a little relief, finally said, "Tokyo Dome...... It's a good stage, and my age is ...... It's really not suitable to wear a uniform anymore and sell cuteness with fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls...... So...... Allow me...... ...... at Tokyo Dome Graduate! (To be continued......)
