"Mariko, where are you now? I want to see you, and I want to see you now! Maeda's voice was filled with anxiety.

"Aren't you going to work later? There's no way to get out, right? Shinoda asked.

"But...... But...... Brother Zhou Xiao! Maeda began to call his boss in a hurry.

Zhou Xiao leaned over and said, "In this way, I will arrange for you to meet as soon as possible, but before that, you can work with peace of mind, and only the three of us know about this matter now, don't you spread the word about it?" ”

"Alas...... Okay, Brother Zhou Xiao, Mariko her...... When are you going to graduate her? Maeda asked.

"There is no specific arrangement for the time, but it certainly doesn't mean that you can graduate after graduation, you have to give the dinner a buffer, all kinds of contracts and the like must be completed, and there are preparations for the graduation concert, etc...... In short, it may not be scary until around next spring, and the real graduation may have to wait until this time next year. Zhou Xiao looked at Shinoda Road beside him.

"Ah...... That's okay, it's okay......" Maeda finally relaxed a little.

Hanging up Maeda's phone, Zhou Xiao threw the phone aside and hugged Shinoda tightly again.

"Hey...... Do you really not want me to graduate? Shinoda asked.

"Of course I don't want to, although even if you graduate, you're still by my side, but...... I can't bear to be the AKB48 Shinoda......" Zhou Xiaodao.

"So, the person you really care about is AKB48 and not Mariko Shinoda?" Shinoha's voice changed.

"Silly girl, don't you care about this, neither AKB nor Mariko Shinoda are very important, not to mention that you are one of the representative members of AKB." Zhou Xiaodao.

"Hmph, for the sake of me being in a good mood today, I won't care about you." Shinoda Road.

"Alas...... In the blink of an eye, you're starting to think about graduating...... In the years when it was not popular, it seemed that the days would never end, and I watched performances in the theater every day. Take you one by one to beg to be on a variety show...... I remember those days every day, but when they became popular...... It seemed like it was just a moment, and two years passed...... In the next two or three years, I'm afraid it's not just you, Yuko, Ah-chan, nyannyan...... They're all going to graduate...... Although there will definitely be a lot of newcomers to join, the AKB that people remember at the beginning is running out of time to exist......" Zhou Xiao said with some distraction.

"yes...... Splendor...... It's very short-lived...... If you could be honest with your hands when you say this, maybe I'll be moved......" Shinoda said.

"I'm used to this posture......" Zhou Xiao was a little embarrassed and took it off the original place on the girl's stomach. But I don't know when I moved up so many tens of centimeters, and my hands were holding the two balls.

Kindness...... That pair of round balls, because of someone's help, is really a little bit of scale now.

At least from A to B.

Shinoda's graduation plan was born like this, and then quietly pressed, and no one else except Zhou Xiao and Maeda will know about it before CON next spring.

After this day, Shinoda continued to do his various work, and after the MV shooting and recording of the guessing boxing tournament was completed, there were various music stage live activities at the end of the year, and I don't know if it was a psychological effect, Zhou Xiao always felt that Shinoda now seems to be working harder and more serious. It was as if she wanted to unleash the last shred of her light.

Zhou Xiao is reluctant, although he knows that graduation is a matter of time for the members, and this is even a part of AKB culture, but he is reluctant.

But. Before Shinoda graduated, there was something that Zhou Xiao felt had to do.

"Okamura-san, we can start preparing for next year's general selection exam." Zhou Xiao called Takashi Okamura.

That's right. This is what he felt he had to do, and that was the final exam plan for "Mechaike".

Don't look at this as just a final exam plan, in Zhou Xiao's eyes. This is a necessary project for AKB to become a national idol group, and it can even be said that this project is of symbolic significance to AKB.

The former AKB didn't have the opportunity to produce this project until 2013, and Zhou Xiao speculated that it wasn't that the operation and 99 didn't want to do it for them, but that AKB's nationalization at that time was not enough to support the show.

It took 13 years to produce this show, which made the whole production process of the show have a lot of regrets, and the biggest of these regrets is that Atsuko Maeda was unable to participate in this episode.

In fact, this kind of regret is simply too normal in the TV circle, such as the final exam plan of Good Morning that year, at that time, this project was before the so-called Good Morning Girls' Group school trip planning, and the participants were nine people, including Goto Maki, but after waiting for a year and a half to do the Good Morning Project and finally the final exam plan, several important members, especially Goto Maki's departure, is a huge regret that belongs to Good Morning.

The final exam is a kind of plan, Zhou Xiao estimates that Maeda can neither be the first nor get the last place, but in his opinion, just like Maki Goto is to Good Morning, the significance of Maeda's participation in this project is by no means as simple as what she can contribute, her existence, even if she only participates and has almost no performance, also has a very important representative significance, as Zhou Xiao, who regards this show as an important part of AKB's nationalization, of course he will feel that Maeda should also be a part of the final exam.

So this project, all kinds of stalks and jokes for the girls, in fact, Zhou Xiao and 99 have been preparing as early as 10 years, and he is waiting for a suitable opportunity to make this project.

Originally, Zhou Xiao's idea was to do it around June next year, but the prepared script was graduated by Maeda, and now the person who graduated has become Shinoda , and a large part of this script will be written from scratch.

After the events of the Guess Boxing Tournament, the entire AKB, as well as the entire Japanese entertainment industry, has begun to transition from autumn to winter, and has begun to transition to various projects at the end of the year.

If you think about it carefully, the year-end planning, the various performances at the end of the year are really not interesting, and they are no different from the domestic performances in China, it is nothing more than a reunion of hello, hello, everyone, and it is a bit too much to say that it is too much to whitewash the peace, but it is indeed a very uninnovative thing that has been running for decades.

The same is true of the girls' work, where a group of people ride in company cars all over the world to participate in the show. But often after a week or two, the girls look back and see what they have participated in and almost never remember any of them......

Such a life...... Time flies ridiculously fast.

After a flash, Zhou Xiao found that it was the end of December 11.

In the past month, almost nothing has happened to AKB and Zhou Xiao, and the only thing that has happened is that SKE48 has released five phases of life.

The fifth phase of SKE's life, in the future, there will be Yuna Ego, Kyomi Miyamae, and Haruka Futamura. Guan Nanazi and other members with great potential, but Zhou Xiao feels that the most potential is Nawa Furuhata, but these don't matter at this moment, although they joined the AKB Group at this time, but the time to really make them popular will not be until two or even three years later.

In a blink of an eye, December is coming, and after entering December, the first big event is that AKB's guessing list is released this year.

The first-day sales of 1.1 million are no longer a very high sales volume in today's AKB, but the reality that the boxing list still easily exceeds one million makes many people in the Japanese entertainment industry sigh that AKB is a monster group. It's just amazing right now.

The high sales of guessing the boxing list made Zhou Xiao also take advantage of the situation to invite the girls in the selection group of guessing the boxing list to participate in a party together, and the venue of this party was Zhou Xiao took Watanabe Miyuki to see. Recently finally bought a new villa.

In Tokyo in winter, if you want to swim in the water or show off your swimsuit on the beach, the girls don't dare to do it no matter how hard they try, so this party is coming. Most of the time the members ate and drank inside the villa, and the only outdoor activities were the tennis courts.

For Zhou Xiao to buy another super villa as a dormitory for girls. Shinoda did not make any comments.

Zhou Xiao knows very well that she, Yuko, and Kojima must be uncomfortable in their hearts, they already regard Zhou Xiao as a family, their men buy such a big one for other women, and even Zhou Xiao's house in Tokyo does not have a bigger villa than this, even if this villa is destined to have more than ten or twenty girls living here at the same time because of business, Shinoda must be quite unhappy in his heart.

But in the course of the party, Shinoda did not show the slightest displeasure with the villa.

Not only is she not unhappy, but she treats everyone very kindly and entertains everyone as a guessing champion and everyone's big sister, what is that like? It's so simple, it's like a hostess!

That's what Shinoda did, she entertained everyone as a hostess, and it looked like I didn't care about the house at all, because the whole man was my own anyway.

Kindness...... own and a few other women's.

Except for Shinoda, the other fifteen girls were very happy in Zhou Xiao's villa, and Shinoda was at least very happy, but Zhou Xiao's heart was actually very clear about Shinoda's thoughts, so after sending the girls away, the first thing Zhou Xiao did was to appease Shinoda.

For Shinoda, although she is playing a little temper, she herself knows very well that these things that Zhou Xiao's brother has done cannot be stopped, his love for AKB, this girl who was discovered by Zhou Xiao and specially recruited at the beginning of AKB's establishment, has personally experienced the efforts made by many of Zhou Xiao's predecessors and predecessors to the entire AKB, and many of these efforts can never be known by outsiders, it is precisely because of knowing these things that Shinoda will not really stop Zhou Xiao from buying this villa and just play a little temper.

AKB is really infiltrated with too much seriousness and hard work on his part.

At the end of December, new singles from AKB and Good Morning came out.

For both parties, this is a single that is not in the plans.

So like AKB, "The Wind Continues to Blow" in October, and "High in Mariko" in December were released as usual, and the backup report on the music website also clearly shows the time of the Sakura graduation list at the beginning of next year with an undecided title, that is, in about four months from the end of October to February next year, AKB will release a total of four singles, especially in December this year, and two singles will be released in one go.

The guessing box list at the beginning of the month and the cooperative single at the end of the month, among which the sales of the cooperative single are not high, with sales of more than 400,000 on the first day and more than 100,000 on the second day. The main reason is that AKB and Good Morning only have a relatively ordinary contract regular handshake party, and AKB only has a lottery event in which the selection team participates, and there is no handshake party with more than 100 people on a large scale.

As for Good Morning, the songs provided by Zhou Xiao for Good Morning contributed about 100,000 copies to Good Morning in the first week, which is not comparable with AKB's sales of 600,000 in the first week, but 100,000 sales are quite good for the current Good Morning.

What's even more exciting about Good Morning is that because of the end of the year, because of the huge topicality of Good Morning's cooperation with AKB, this single directly sent Good Morning to the year-end concert live programs of major TV stations.

Except for the fact that Red and White had already chosen a candidate and could not appear on the stage in Good Morning, almost all other TV stations sold Zhou Xiao and Good Morning, Chunjun and others a face.

Today's good morning, being able to enter the live at the end of these years can be said to be purely because of Zhou Xiao's help. Otherwise, they would not have been able to do it on their own.

This is also the main reason why Chunjun can't resist the company's decision, Zhou Xiao's invitation to cooperate has brought huge profits to the company, and it has brought considerable exposure and popularity opportunities, so H! Although the P side was very clear about Zhou Xiao's purpose, it did not stop his idea at all. From the point of view of P, Zhou Xiao is too dead to do this, once Good Morning relies on this opportunity to become popular. The AKB side is tantamount to raising an opponent to come out, such a risky approach, H! P felt that he had a great chance of success, so he would take the goodwill released by Zhou Xiao.

Although the fans will also be concerned, they will also discuss this cooperation between Good Morning and AKB. But the fans are undoubtedly more concerned about the content of cooperation, and this aspect is what they really relish.

Today's meals are happy, the cooperation between AKB and the Good Morning Girl Group, this is what Zhou Xiao dreamed of in his previous life? The AKB Group has sent out a selection team with a full TOP lineup. Good Morning also dealt with a selection group of 16 people, and among these 16 people, there were other combinations of Good Morning Group, especially like Zhou Xiao's previous life. Airi Suzuki's friend Yashima Maimi or something, such a lineup, and AKB gave birth to quite a lot of sparks and even out-of-group CPs, like Airi and Yajima Maimi, Michishige Sayumi and Kojima Yona or something, and the rice is also very interesting to watch.

For Zhou Xiao, if he didn't think it was too provocative to invite Good Morning to participate in the red and white AKB part, he would have even wanted to invite the other party.

AKB and Good Morning really got off to a very good start through this cooperation, and at the end of the year, even the AKB Red and White Song Party had the presence of Good Morning members, whether they watched it off-stage or performed as guests on stage, they became the most eye-catching presence in the venue at that time.

On the whole, the cooperation between AKB and Good Morning, the status of both sides is basically equal, AKB members pay attention to their own image, and will not snub anyone because of popularity, and Good Morning, will not take out the attitude of old-timers to teach AKB because of their former king status and old qualifications, Zhou Xiao and Chunjun have played a good role in this regard, it is precisely because the two of them have shown a very good relationship that the girls of the two groups also have a good relationship.

Then, on the penultimate day of 2011, AKB won the Japan Record Awards again.

Unlike last year, which was said to be a supply to Zhou Xiao, this year's AKB award is really awarded to these girls, last year's AKB is indeed very powerful, but this year's AKB is legendary, starting from the spring single, to the voting list, the general list, the autumn disaster relief list, and even the end of the year will count the sales to next year's guessing boxing list, the sales of the five singles all exceeded one million on the first day, even if even the sales of the ordinary disk, the single "Flying Start" has a momentum of more than one million.

What's even more powerful is the popularity and momentum of AKB, which can be seen from last year's general menu.

Last year's AKB general list,It was AKB's first single to surpass one million in sales,Not only that,The most terrible thing about this single is its stamina,From last year to now,This single has been on the oricon single ranking version for 70 weeks,And the sales can still sell thousands of copies every week,Especially red and white is imminent,This year's AKB suite still has this song,It is expected that in the next few weeks,The sales of this song are likely to rise to the early 2,000s again。

Arguably. HR's single is a well-deserved demon single in AKB's ten-year career, and its aftermath is completely different from AKB's normal singles, and it still stays here after the singles before and after it have gone off the charts.

What's even more exaggerated is the performance of HR's single on the karaoke chart......

At this time in the previous life, HR's stamina was actually still good, but it failed to keep the record of occupying the top of the karaoke charts in a row, because Jin Bang's "Female 々しくて" suddenly blew a pop whirlwind and squeezed HR from the championship throne, but now the situation has changed, and the song "Female 々しくて" was sung by AKB and SMAP first......

This song can be popular, it is indeed because of its excellent saliva song nature, so it can also become popular if it is sung by another person, but it is impossible for AKB and SMAP to tilt all their resources and attention to this song, so when it was first released, this song only became popular for a month or two before disappearing.

Affected by this, the Golden Explosion is still unknown, but AKB has taken advantage of it very coincidentally, and HR is still holding the first position, and more than 60 weeks have passed since it won the championship for the first time, and it can be said that it has truly become an immortal legend...... (To be continued......)
