Chapter 581: Yoyogi at the beginning of the unit
At the beginning of summer in Tokyo in July, AKB's concert was the biggest to date.
Tens of thousands of AKB meals, after spreading out outside Yoyogi, the black pressure looks amazing, and in the afternoon, several entrances of Yoyogi, the rice began to enter, tens of thousands of stadiums, just entering the stadium took nearly an hour to barely fill the audience who came to watch the performance.
From the 1,000-seat venue of the Youth Pavilion a few years ago to the huge stadium of tens of thousands of people now, it is not only the number of spectators that has changed dramatically, but also the type of audience.
But now the situation is different, although the otaku audience, especially the otaku is still the big one, but there are many more ordinary people in the audience, fathers and mothers who come to watch the performance with their children, ordinary students who are obviously not yet 20 years old, in their thirties, but company members in formal clothes, especially many women have also joined the fan group of the concert, among these women, some are wearing support clothes from all walks of life, and some are just wearing very ordinary private clothes to watch the concert. There are really not many cases where ordinary people's interests and otaku come together like this.
When the diners began to enter the venue, many members even watched from the backstage curtain, and the sense of accomplishment of tens of thousands of people gradually filling the huge space is a sight that the current AKB members never get tired of seeing. Which one is stronger to read novels on mobile phones? Mobile Reading Network
The girls not only watched by themselves, but also beckoned each other and other members to come and see, and gradually more and more people came to see, and even Yuko and Maeda came to see.
"Brother Zhou Xiao! Brother Zhou Xiao! Did you see that? That's a lot of people! You've really done it, you've really made history! Seeing tens of thousands of AKB meals entering the market, Yuko ran back to Zhou Xiao's side like an excited bird, happily circling around her.
"What does this have to do with me, you have come here step by step, even if it is not me. Maybe you can get this far. Zhou Xiao said.
Yuko suddenly stopped, and said with a little anger: "Brother Zhou Xiao, it's not right for you to say that, we have indeed worked hard to get to this point, but you have also helped us a lot, if you all say that the current success belongs only to us, it is also unfair to you, I don't allow you to say that." ”
"yes, yes! This success is for all of us. The members said one after another.
"Okay, it's all of us, so get ready to go on stage. Enjoy the joy of success. Zhou Xiao said.
"Yes!" The members shouted with vigour.
The members ran away, Yuko Oshima finally went to change her performance costumes, and then, all the members gathered backstage and held hands.
Minami Takahashi said, "When we held a concert at the Youth Hall for the first time, although the number of people was 70 or 80 less than now, we felt that the group of so many people was really crowded in the background.
However, although the number of our 48 group has exceeded 100 now, we don't feel crowded at all when we do the round formation. Being able to hold a concert in such a big place was something we couldn't have imagined when AKB was first established.
But now this dream has succeeded, the future. Maybe we will go to bigger and better places, but remember the joy and happiness when standing here, go and enjoy this qiē! ”
"Yes!" The girls shouted in their loudest voices.
After the circle is over. The concert was about to really start, and the sound of Overture sounded outside, and most of the members gathered in front of the monitors in twos and threes. Only two or three members took the stage and stood at the back of the set.
These two people are Yuko Oshima and Yuka Masuda.
Among them, Yuko Oshima is the first person to appear, and Masuda Yuka is on the side to help the girl correct the pronunciation of the next song, because of the stage that is about to appear and dimmed, the two girls communicate softly through the dim light, and the background sound is a deafening overture, this picture is really very feeling.
"If Masuda works part-time, Yuko should be very happy, right?" Zhou Xiao looked at the two of them on the side of the stage and thought.
"It's not just that she's happy to be a part-time employee, but it's also very happy that she and the players form a unit together...... Zhou Xiao thought.
And then...... When the music sounded, Masuda Yuka, who finally reacted, hurriedly ran off the stage, while Yuko Oshima on the stage let out a sigh of relief, held the microphone in her hand tightly, and raised her head to look at the pitch-black set in front of her.
At this moment, Zhou Xiao seemed to feel that Yuko's eyes were piercing through the set to look at the top floor of Yoyogi and the audience on the high stage.
Her anticipation, excitement and happiness at this moment, Zhou Xiao, who was standing not far from her, seemed to feel all of them.
Yuko Oshima appeared and sang, naturally the representative track of her AKB career "Laughter in Tears".
The choreography of Yoyogi's concert is a very special one among AKB's many concerts, and other concerts are the beginning and end of the whole district, but Yoyogi's first concert is based on the results of the general election, Yuko Oshima's "Laughter in Tears", which immediately woke up the memories of the general election that just ended a month ago.
The second appearance after Yuko is, of course, Maeda, followed by Shinoda and then Mai Oshima......
Among them, the songs sung by the top three are no different from the Yoyogi repertoire arrangements that Zhou Xiao has seen in the previous life, Mai Oshima here, singing "Heart Virus" that should have been sung by Yona Kojima, yes, this song was originally Mai Oshima's masterpiece, after Mai Oshima graduated, it gradually became Yona Kojima's masterpiece, and in a similar situation, there is actually SKE's S3 performance, the so-called Yulia Kizaki and Kumi Yagami's "Wolf and Self-Esteem", which was originally a unit song between Sayuki Mori and Kumi Yagami......
There's nothing to say about the performance process.,The top 12 members of the overall selection appeared one by one.,There are only some differences from the previous life.,In addition to Mai Oshima's song,Kojima Yona's song this time was replaced by a solo song by the unit.。
Then, Airi Suzuki's song is naturally the song "When you go home, you ride a bicycle, I take a train" at her A5 performance, which is a little regrettable. Among the members who appeared this time, there was no appearance of Yuki Kashiwagi.
After all the 12 members who ranked high in the general selection finished their performances, the next step was the performances of the various teams, such as NO3B and the corridor running team.
After these two squads, the third squad is powerful.
Yoyogi's stage setting is an iceberg-like openable set, and after the girls in the corridor team finish, the entire venue is darkened, and then the iceberg set slowly opens. The ...... inside is exposed. Band.
That's right, not a singer, but a standard rock band with keyboards, drums, electric bass and electric guitar!
There are not many idol groups in Japan that have ever done this!
Just such a band configuration can already make the blood boil of the rice.
Louder and louder cheers, buono! The three members of the group took to the stage.
After the three of them stood still, everyone found that Mayu Watanabe was standing on the left. Aya Yamamoto stood on the right, and Airi Suzuki, although there were only three people, was also standing in the center of the single.
In fact. The position of this song also has a certain relationship with the AKB general election, Zhou Xiao's original meaning was to let the highest-ranked person among the three people in this general election stand in the center, so it should be Mayu Watanabe, but when things turned to the three girls. They didn't agree to do this, and Mayu Airi actually wanted Yamamoto Aya to be the center, because the two of them didn't value buono! of this center. But how can Aya Yamamoto agree to this kind of thing?,It's a super junior.,If the first single really occupies the center position.,I'm afraid there will be criticism and pressure first, right?
So in the end, the center position is still to be selected among the two people of Mayu Airi.,And the way the last two are determined is also very interesting.,It's not the winner among them.,It's the loser who stands in this center position.。
If it weren't for the fact that the relationship was really good, even good enough to ignore a lot of things, it would be almost impossible to determine the location of the center that is important with such generosity and even a little joking as they are.
"Listen up, we're buono! The upcoming new single "Summer ダカラ!"" said Airi Suzuki, holding the microphone.
This song "Because It's Summer" was originally buono in Zhou Xiao's mind! In the 2011 work, in fact, in Zhou Xiao's plan, in addition to him, the music of the three people is also managed by some music teachers who used to be the main rock and roll, but the first song of the group, Zhou Xiao felt that they should be given at least one song that used to be buono!
It's a bit cruel for AKB's concert itself to sing on the stage, and most of AKB's top members don't have good singing skills, and I'm used to hearing the girls be soft, have no singing skills, and have a flawed voice, buono! As soon as the three of them spoke, the entire Yoyogi Stadium was suppressed!
In fact, the released version of the song "Summer ダカラ!" is not the kind of obvious rock style, whether it is the melody arrangement or the lyrics, it is relatively fresh, and it is a little girl's style when you listen to it, but because it is going to be sung live, so when preparing for the concert version, the three of them studied with the band specially prepared for them by Zhou Xiao, and slightly increased the explosiveness of live rock, this explosiveness, coupled with the absolute top singing skills of the three in the group now, not only ignited the audience in an instant, It even made the vast majority of the rice people exclaim.
In fact, buono! After the release of this first released single, in the news that night and tomorrow morning, various Japanese media directly put the name of AKB's strongest spin-off group on Buono! Body!
After the song, the three of them left the stage, leaving the entire Yoyogi who had been mobilized for the members who appeared later.
When the three of them got off the stage, Zhou Xiao was waiting on the edge of the stage, and the three people who saw Zhou Xiao's brother were all very excited, and Mayou ran over excitedly and hugged Zhou Xiao's arm.
"Brother Zhou Xiao! We're pretty good, aren't we!? Mayou said excitedly.
"That's amazing! Listen, the cheers have not yet gone down! Zhou Xiao was also very happy, he patted Mayou's head and said.
"Hey, hey, is Brother Zhou Xiao hooked on us?" Airi Suzuki also leaned over and asked.
Mayou and Airi, Mayou is now a bit like a free-spirited little madman, and Airi has always been a cute and perfect idol image, but recently, Airi's image seems to have gradually begun to change in Zhou Xiao's eyes. When she is outside, she is still the super idol, but when she is in front of Zhou Xiao, she occasionally shows a very special ...... Style?
Zhou Xiao found that when she was by her side, she began to twist her body more, especially her waist and hips, Mayou and Airi in 2010, in terms of appearance, it was an absolute super beautiful girl state, such a girl showed a side in front of herself that would never be shown to others. Even if Zhou Xiao has experience in facing all kinds of women, he can't help but feel a little uneasy, and can't help but sigh that the girl has really grown up......
As for Aya Yamamoto, the eldest junior among the three, but she is the biggest in the grade, she is also in the same mood, a little envious to see the two girls chattering around Zhou Xiao, and she has just come down from the stage in a agitated mood, and her eyes are already wet.
buono! 's performance can be said to have detonated the audience, but this is not necessarily a good thing for the members who appeared later, the current AKB. No one has taken on such a warm atmosphere so easily.
So when the first solo member Ono Reina appeared on the stage, the atmosphere was a little awkward and weird, and everyone was still immersed in the happiness brought by the previous three, and they couldn't react to Ono's appearance.
Sung by Ono. Of course, she is about to take over the broadcast of "Road Suga School", and she also participated in the filming of the theme song of "Legalhigh", the theme song of general TV dramas, which is usually released after a period of time after the TV series has been broadcast. Ono's song came out relatively early, because this song doesn't have much to do with TV dramas in essence, so it's out. It won't have much impact on the TV series itself.
Ono appeared after that, it was Mai Oshima, another solo member of AKB, Mai Oshima's first single has been released, but surprisingly, she didn't sing the first single this time but disclosed the second single she will release soon, this single is still composed by Zhou Xiao, but in terms of lyrics, this single called "If I Didn't Experience This Summer" was completed by Zhou Xiao and Yasuya Akimoto.
To say that the tune of this song is actually from Zhou Xiao's own original, he didn't refer to any works in his mind, in terms of the melody of the song, the melody of this song actually has a little retro atmosphere, a bit like the traditional idol style in the eighties of the last century.
In terms of lyrics, according to Zhou Xiao's request, Yasu Akimoto published the first draft, and the final lyrics that the two decided together describe the feelings of a girl who is about to graduate and look back on the experience of the last summer of high school.
At the beginning of the song, it is said that the family of the protagonist of the song moved away, and the girl was very reluctant to stay in high school, but in the following year, the girl did a lot of happy things with a few close friends, they failed to support one of their friends, went to a picnic, played pranks on the teacher, and even the girl fell in love with one of the boys, after such a happy year, the girl who was about to graduate and left looked back and sighed, if I hadn't experienced such a summer, There will be so little joy and memories in my life.
Such a music video is obviously tailor-made by Zhou Xiao for Mai Oshima.
Mai Oshima's first single "Troublesome Love" sold decently, and the quality of the songs can only be regarded as relatively ordinary in the singer's release, and her so-called singing career has no talent.
But when Zhou Xiao handed over the song to the girl, after reading the lyrics, the girl understood that this song, which is scheduled to be released this summer, looks like the girl is lamenting the summer of today, but in fact, it is the summer of 2009, and the meaning of the song is very simple: "If I gave up that summer in 2009, I will regret it very much in the future, because this year is the year when everyone created the highest memories of life." ”
When is the best time for a singer to sing? Of course, when she empathizes with the song, Mai Oshima's song sings the feeling and taste, Zhou Xiao estimates that although limited to the quality of AKB rice, this song may not be able to sell much exaggerated results, but for Mai Oshima itself, this song will undoubtedly make people have a better evaluation of her.
After the debut of the solo members, some of the members who sang the unit song before, including Minami Takahashi, Mariko Shinoda and other first-phase students of Group A appeared on the MC, and backstage, the staff has also prepared a huge multi-layered birthday cake, because today, July 10th, is the birthday of Atsuko Maeda in the team, and holding a concert on such a day, if it is an ordinary miscellaneous fish or even an ordinary top, the operation has enough reasons to ignore each other, but Maeda's birthday, it must be celebrated.
As a result, the cake was prepared, and now the first student of Group A is still on the stage, and the first student of Group K, Yumi Itano, has already stood in front of the cake. (To be continued......)
