Chapter 715: Amazing Announcement
The members of the idol group, any time they make the choice to graduate, it is a very important thing, and the importance of this matter may determine the direction of the person's future life.
What's more, it's Yuko Maeda, the location of these two AKBcenters.
They know very well that this choice will determine the fate of their future lives, and even because of their choice, the fate of many other girls will also be decided.
For Maeda, she was happy during the time when she was supposed to graduate, but she was never announced under the influence of Zhou Xiao.
She began to feel relieved about the general election, began to enjoy the idol life, and at the same time started more of her own career as an actress.
And Yuko's side has grown to the same level as her.
These two girls are amazing.
Even if it was the kitten club back then, the level of the double center Eiri Nitta and Sayuri Sayuri at that time after graduation was much worse than that of Maeda Oshima, not that the first two were worse than Maeda Oshima in popularity, but these two could not mix so many continuous literary film stars after graduation.
Not to mention them who are far away, even those top graduates of Good Morning Mother, such as Goto Maki, have very ordinary grades after graduation.
The reason why Maeda and Yuko in the previous life were able to have such good results, one of the more important reasons is their office, compared with AKS, Ota is a company that has more ways in film and television, and can provide more opportunities for two girls to act, and Akimoto Yasu's behavior of dividing the members into major companies can play a considerable role after the outstanding members graduate.
Ota's advantage in film resources, even the current AZX is difficult to compare, but AZX is a little better than AKS in Zhou Xiao's previous life, because Zhou Xiao himself is a god in the film industry, and AZX has invested in many large and small movies in the past ten years, although there are no super popular works except for Zhou Xiao. But at least in terms of appeal, AZX still has some.
Of course, Maeda and Yuko didn't graduate immediately after the announcement, and the graduation time Zhou Xiao chose for them was...... December 8, 13.
AKB's founding anniversary, this time, for the announcement of the Red and White Song Club is still nearly a year away, on the one hand, he doesn't want to let the two graduate so early, and on the other hand, he thinks that the graduation of the two can create more atmosphere.
Maeda Oshima, these two represent the entire eight years before AKB, and just one person graduated is already a super event that has caused a sensation in Japan, not to mention that it is still two people graduating together. Therefore, it is essential to create a variety of atmospheres.
This kind of departure in Japanese history, Maeda Oshima is most famous for Yamaguchi Momoe's retirement concert that year, after the last song, Yamaguchi Momoe gently put his white microphone on the ground and turned away, that picture is people's biggest and only memory of the departure of female idols.
Maeda Oshima, neither of these two people can compare to Yamaguchi Momoe, but with the blessing of the legendary group AKB, if the two of them graduate together, Zhou Xiao feels that the company should be able to try to create an atmosphere.
There's another thing that's funny...... He really wants to see Maeda Oshima participate in the general election in 13 years. And then he was accused of getting the first place......
That's just so much fun, isn't it, hahahahaha.
The red and white announcements of the two girls had been prepared before, but when the red and white were about to start, Zhou Xiao couldn't help but ask.
Maeda and Oshima glanced at each other, then stretched out their hands together, grabbed each other's hands, and said to Zhou Xiao: "We are ready!" ”
"Then let's go and make an announcement." Zhou Xiao encouraged.
"Wait, Zhou Xiao. Don't...... Are you reluctant to give us up? Yuko asked after suddenly pulling Maeda.
"Reluctantly? No, I think you graduated at this time, not only for your future, but also for the future of AKB. This graduation can also cause the biggest sensation. Zhou Xiaodao.
"I'm not asking about that, I'm asking, are you reluctant?" Yuko leaned over and asked. Her face was only a few centimeters away from Zhou Xiao, and the two of them could even see every eyelash around each other's eyes.
"Me? Of course I'm very reluctant, but you're all still in AZX anyway, so ...... Hmmm! ”
Before Zhou Xiao finished speaking, he was pounced on by Yuko and kissed on the mouth.
He was startled, is this girl crazy or what, Maeda is still on the side, can't he be a little reserved?
Moving his gaze, he saw Maeda stunned, her little mouth had opened in surprise into an O-shape, and it seemed that she didn't expect Yuko to suddenly become so exaggerated.
Patting the girl's arm and pushing her away, Zhou Xiao asked, "What's wrong with you?" What's crazy all of a sudden? ”
"Do you think I don't know anything about you? It's obviously super reluctant, so I use those messy reasons and utilitarian ideas to anesthetize myself, and I look like I take it for granted......"
"Uh......" Zhou Xiao was speechless.
"I can tell from your eyes that if you could, you wouldn't be willing to let us announce our graduation......" Yuko said riding on Zhou Xiao.
"Brother Zhou Xiao......" Maeda was also surprised, she thought at first that she was going to see something that she shouldn't see, but now she understands that Yuko's understanding of the man in front of her has reached this level.
"You...... Ay...... If you're not so sensitive, you'll die. Zhou Xiao wanted to quibble, but looking at the girl who was close at hand, he didn't say anything but rubbed his head helplessly.
"That'...... Why don't we do it a little longer? Maeda also couldn't stand it anymore, Yuko didn't say anything she couldn't see it yet, but now Yuko felt it as soon as she said it.
Zhou Xiao's eyes at this moment, and his performance just now are indeed quite special, under normal circumstances, he is very concerned about the girls' thoughts, and he will definitely try to avoid directly talking about those utilitarian matters, and he is very good at taking care of the mood of the members, but in front of the two girls who are about to graduate, he is talking excitedly about the future of the two girls after graduation and other things, so he does have a rather strange place.
"No, you don't have to. Alas...... I'll admit I'm a little reluctant. But there are some goodbyes that always have to be done, and those things I said before are also true, you are graduating at this time, it is very suitable for yourself and the team, and there will definitely not be everything in the world as everyone thinks, there are some choices...... Heart-wrenching is the best, hello me, hello everybody can be a worse choice, as an adult...... You must know that, too. Zhou Xiao said.
"Ah...... I really want to hug Brother Zhou Xiao! Maeda watched Yuko hugging the man and said with envy on his face.
"I'm sorry, sauce, I won on this matter." Yuko said with a sense of superiority.
"yes...... If you can. People would rather exchange the three championships for Brother Zhou Xiao......" Maeda said enviously.
"I'm sorry, I can't get one of the three general choices." Yuko continued to hug Zhou Xiao and said.
"Okay, don't show off, Maeda, you will definitely find someone who likes you and is willing to take care of you." Zhou Xiao patted Yuko to stop her from continuing to show off.
"That'...... That's all for today's announcement? Yuko left Zhou Xiao.
"Go ahead and announce it, I'll support you in the back." Zhou Xiao said.
Starting with Mai Oshima and Tomomi Itano, one of the things that is very special about Zhou Xiao's AKB is that graduation has gradually become less unacceptable within the team, whether it is the two of them or Shinoda. Today's Maeda Oshima, there are not too many regrets or too much sadness in their graduation, and they choose to graduate more in order to have a better path.
After talking to Zhou Xiao, the two girls held hands and went out intimately.
As a double center, Yuko Maeda's relationship before the 11-year general election was quite delicate. Especially during the time period of the annual general election, it seems that the two will collapse at any time, and during this time, no junior will even make jokes about the general election between the two of them at the same time. Even situations where one person is mentioned in front of another person are avoided as much as possible.
It wasn't until 11 years later that the relationship between the two became better, especially with Maeda, who was already relieved. The girl has made a lot of efforts to establish a relationship with Yuko.
After the 12-year general election, Yuko actually couldn't understand and accept the reality that Maeda won her again for a long time, but after all, she was also a very smart and sincere girl, Maeda finally moved her with her sincerity, and the relationship between the two became intimate again, until now, they even made the choice to graduate together, so they have become complete best friends.
A pair of opponents who have fought face-to-face, such people become friends, and the degree of solidity and understanding of each other is often difficult to achieve by friends in ordinary relationships, not to mention that they also have a common acting career that they are willing to give everything for, so if they can help and support each other well, then there will definitely be a better future waiting for them.
Following Maeda Oshima out of the room, Zhou Xiao saw several figures at a glance.
Shinoda, Itano, Mai Oshima and several other graduates came.
None of them were wearing costumes, so they could be easily identified from the crowd.
A few of the girls looked like they were supposed to be visiting the class, and Shinoda made cookies for everyone, and her cooking skills were now easy to make.
Of course, no matter how easy it is, a cookie with more than 300 servings is definitely a big project, and Shinoda probably took a long time to prepare for it.
Yuko also spotted Shinoda and she jumped over and pulled Shinoda to whisper.
Zhou Xiao was also startled when he saw Shinoda clearly, looking at her mouth shape, he should have confirmed: "Really?" ”
"Of course." Yuko smiled and nodded.
"Congratulations." Shinoda hugged Yuko.
"It's still a long time before I graduate, and I won't officially graduate until December next year." Zhou Xiao walked over and said.
"Is there another year? In this last period, enjoy the last idol career. Shinoda patted Yuko's head and said very intimately.
At this time, a staff member came out, "The Red and White Song Festival is about to start, so please go to the stage from the AKB selection team!" The staff shouted.
"It's almost time, let's go!" After Yuko said hello to Zhou Xiao Shinoda and followed the selection team to the stage, Zhou Xiao came to Shinoda side.
"Shall we go to the box and see?" He asked.
NHKHALL has private rooms, which are reserved for people who are very important and do not want to disclose their identity. Zhou Xiao didn't ask for a box in advance, but now that Shinoda is here, he wants a box so that the two of them can watch AKB's performance without affecting it.
took Shinoda and NHK to ask for a box, and soon after Zhou Xiao and the others got in, the 12-year Red and White Song Party began.
The opening scene of red and white, as if the host of the men's team in recent years has an internal contract, the former is Ayumi Hamasaki, and the latter is Arashi, of course, the parties themselves will not recognize this kind of contract. For example, Ayumi Hamasaki's excuse is generally that he is for this side, and he will go to his New Year's Eve concert immediately after the end.
It's just that Ayumi Hamasaki may not have expected that some of the differences between her and Arashi are that the five consecutive years that Lan hosted were indeed five years for them, but after the five-year hosting period, they were still at the top of the Japanese entertainment industry.
But Ayumi Hamasaki can't do this, and after five years of declining popularity, she has now lost most of her appeal, not only that, but also her voice, which was once amazing. A woman who has done something that all other Japanese female artists can't do is on the verge of collapse after more than ten years.
Listening to her singing at the beginning, Zhou Xiao also shook her head helplessly.
After Hamasaki Ayu, I immediately entered the ama link.
Noenian Reina and the main members of AKB on this project sang their short single in the series together and officially entered the 157th episode of "Amenyeo". Nengnian Rena and Ai Hashimoto first sang the song "Remembrance Like a Tide", and then the puppy Iriko and Yakushimaru Hiroko also sang different versions of this song respectively, which is slightly different from the red and white that Zhou Xiao saw in his previous life, in the two idols of the eighties. When the current mother-level artist starred, the village flower in the corner was sitting there all the time.
A total of 15 minutes of performances, starring the main actors in the series. And the girls of AKB also took this opportunity to brush up on their existence.
Soon after the "ama" session, the AKB Group girls performed as well, and they sang two songs in a row, and in the interlude of the last song, Maeda and Yuko walked up.
What's wrong?
The girls were surprised, according to the previous rehearsal, the two centers should still be behind at this time, why did they come up at this time?
The girls who stepped forward were each holding a microphone.
"This year, AKB48 has been taken care of by everyone." Maeda was the first to say.
"In the days to come, I hope you will continue to support AKB." Yuko also said.
"But, on this occasion, we have something to announce." Maeda Road.
"Huh!?"
"Huh!?" Many girls shouted in surprise that they hadn't rehearsed this part during the rehearsal before.
The audience is also talking to each other, most of the audience doesn't know what AKB's surprise announcement is, and for these people, Yuko Maeda and the two people come forward to say that they are also confused.
As for those AKB core meals, some people thought of the word graduation, and more people were lucky, thinking that it might be Zhou Xiao who wanted two girls to announce some special projects.
But...... Reality quickly shattered their illusions.
"2013...... I'm Atsuko Maeda. ”
"Yuko Oshima."
The two girls looked at each other and said, "We're going to be from AKB48...... Graduate! ”
Zhou Xiao and Shinoda in the private room were silent.
Contrary to their silence, outside the box, in the entire NHKHALL theater, on and off the stage, the audience and the members of the AKB Group erupted in a huge exclamation at this moment!
Not only here, but also all over Japan and around the world, the audience who was guarding the Red and White Song Club inevitably shouted at this moment.
"Huh!!??? Graduate!? ”
AKB's two largest TOP ...... Graduating!?
Under the huge impact, the whole stage is also a tragic scene, many girls are crying, for other girls, in the face of such a situation, even if they don't want to cry, they will try to make themselves cry, because everyone knows that crying at this time can definitely have a great impact on their favorability.
It was not easy to continue performing in this situation, but fortunately Maeda and Yuko were still there, and they led the girls to continue performing, and completed the performance with the girls crying behind them.
Next, Zhou Xiao estimates that the backstage will also face a bleak scene of crying and separation, for the AKB girls, the departure of the two backbones, everyone will not only be sad, but also worried about the future of the AKB group, especially those ordinary members, will be very afraid that if there are no two people, AKB will not decline.
However, Zhou Xiao doesn't care about these things anymore.
After the AKB performance, he turned around and grabbed Shinoda by the hand.
"Let's go, dear, we'...... Go for the Chinese New Year. ”
"Good!" Shinoda also shook his hand and said with affection.
Zhou Xiao's next New Year belongs to Shinoda alone.
They will make a beeline for the airport and then fly to Australia, where they will spend a warm and quiet New Year with just the two of them. (To be continued......)
