Chapter 168: Appearance

The second round of Nogizaka 46 theater performance "16 Principal Dancers deux" held at the Akasaka ACT Theater was the last Chiaki music today. In addition to the enthusiastic performances of the members in the previous days, the second generation of members revealed at the beginning of each performance was also one of the highlights of this theater performance.

At the previous performance, 14 second-year students have been revealed, and these new members who are full of freshness and youth make the dinner people who come down the stage to watch the performance feel excited and excited, and at the same time, there is a huge interest in whether there will be new members of Qianqiu Music today. A lot of people are speculating about whether there will be new members to be disclosed at today's Qianqiu Le, and some people are even betting on it.

When all the scheduled programs scheduled for today on the stage were performed, Nanami Hashimoto took the microphone and appeared as the host. This made the audience in the audience suddenly commotion, as Nogizaka 46 is famous for the existence of an iceberg beauty with a unique sense of air, Nanami Hashimoto has almost never appeared as a host like today. 、

In previous performances, Reika Sakurai, who was the captain, and Rina Ikoma, who had five previous singles, or Mai Shiraishi, who became the new center on the sixth single, usually appeared as the host. Therefore, when Nanami Hashimoto stood in the center of the stage with the microphone and smiled at the audience, the audience applauded enthusiastically, guessing what Nanami Hashimoto was going to say.

"Thank you to all of you who came to watch the performance of Chiaki Raku at the '16 Principal Dancers DEUX' Theater today, and thank you very much for coming to see our performance at Nogizaka 46, thank you!" Nana Hashimoto responded to the enthusiasm of the audience with a bright smile, and after bowing deeply, continued, "I believe that after the theater performance in the past few days, you already know that our second class student of Nogizaka 46 will be disclosed at the theater performance every day. Today, as the last day of the theater performance, we will still reveal a member of the second generation as we did a few days ago. Next, let's welcome the last second-year student, Her Royal Highness Yoshiko Akishinomiya! ”

Hearing Nana Hashimoto call her name, Yoshiko sorted out her mood and walked out from behind the curtain of the stage, standing in the spotlight on the stage for the first time in her life.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yoshiko Akishinomiya from Tokyo, I'm 18 years old......"

—————————————————

Walking off the stage, Yoshiko pressed her hand to her chest, feeling the feeling of her heart beating in her chest under the palm of her hand, and Yoshiko tried to calm the excitement in her heart. She deeply felt the tension of standing on the stage and facing the audience for the first time in her life, which was much stronger than when she followed her parents and other royal families to receive the national worship on New Year's Day.

When she accepted the national visit for the New Year, Yoshiko knew that she only needed to stand there and maintain the demeanor of the royal family to complete the task well. But when you really stand on the stage and face the audience, you must try to do your best, so as to be recognized by these audiences.

On stage, you may be able to get more attention as a princess, but if you don't work hard, how can you get any of these meals? If you can't even get the approval of these meals, how can you talk about getting the approval of the people? But fortunately, with the help of Nanami Hashimoto on the side, he was able to successfully complete his first appearance, and Kako, who was thinking like this, looked at Nanami Hashimoto, who was also walking back to the backstage with a microphone, and thanked her: "Nanamin, thank you so much today." Without your help, I'm afraid I'll be too nervous to speak. ”

"Don't be so polite, Yoshiko." Nana Hashimoto looked at Kako who thanked her seriously, and smiled indifferently: "It's normal to be nervous on stage for the first time, just get used to it." It's not a big scene today, there aren't many audiences, if you're all so nervous, the next time you hold a concert, when you face thousands or even tens of thousands of meals in the audience, won't your heart jump out nervously? You've done well today, and the guys are very accepting of you, so keep it up! ”

"I see, thank you, Nanamin." Nanami Hashimoto's encouragement finally relaxed Yoshiko's nervous mood.

"But speaking of which, you are really popular, and you deserve to be Her Royal Highness the Princess! When I said that you were a princess, I was excited about the meal. Nanami Hashimoto walked backstage and teased at Yoshiko: "It's so good, if only I had Yoshiko and you were so popular, I would have so many meals to support you from the beginning." ”

Nana Hashimoto's words made Yoshiko feel a little ashamed, after all, these meals were all earned by Nanami Hashimoto, who had been working hard before, and she was able to get their approval just because of her status as a royal family, which made Yoshiko feel a little unearned. Because of this thought, an embarrassed expression appeared on her face, and Kako, who was about to apologize to Nanami Hashimoto, was seen through by Nanami Hashimoto.

"Don't be embarrassed, Yoshiko." Nana Hashimoto didn't speak before Kako spoke, blocking back the words of apology that Yoshiko wanted to say: "It's a joy that you can get the recognition of these meals, and there is nothing to be embarrassed or need to apologize." If you don't feel that you deserve this recognition, you should make more efforts to prove to these people who recognize you that you are worthy of their recognition, instead of apologizing to me here. ”

"But, Nanamin, aren't these meals all the ones you seniors who have worked hard to get them?" Kako was a little embarrassed to ask Nanami Hashimoto her question: "Don't you feel like your rice has been snatched away?" ”

"Yoshiko, you think too much!" Hearing Yoshiko's question, Nana Hashimoto smiled dumbly: "Of course, these meals are attracted by our first students, but while they support your second students, it doesn't mean that they don't support our first students?" Besides, whether it is a first-term student or a second-term student, they are all members of the group Nogizaka 46, and no matter who the rice supports, it is the same for the entire group. Kako, you can't have that you are a second-degree student, I am a first-term student, we don't have the same idea. Everyone is a member of Nogizaka 46, and only when everyone is united can this group become better and better. ”

After listening to Nanami Hashimoto's words, Kako nodded a little shyly, and said to Nanami Hashimoto seriously: "I know, Nanamin, thank you for your guidance." I will continue to work hard, and I will definitely not disappoint you. ”

"Don't be so serious!" Looking at the serious Kako, Nana Hashimoto couldn't help but feel a little distressed. As a royal princess, Yoshiko has received a strict education in court etiquette since she was a child, which makes Yoshiko undoubtedly impeccable in terms of etiquette. But sometimes, this kind of standardized court etiquette can give people a feeling of being too serious and distant. Nana Hashimoto could even foresee that if Yoshiko participated in the handshake party, it would probably make Rice feel less enthusiastic if she faced Rice in the same way.

After thinking about it like this for a while, Nanami Hashimoto looked at Yoshiko and said seriously: "Yoshiko, I don't know how court etiquette is required, but if you are an idol, if you are too polite, you will not give people the feeling of being enthusiastic enough." We are idols, we need to be close to Han, we need to make Hanhan feel treated sincerely, do you know what I mean? ”

Kako frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, she nodded to Nanami Hashimoto a little ignorantly: "Although I still don't understand a little, I'll pay attention." Thank you for talking to me about this, Nanamin. ”

Looking at Yoshiko, who was still politely thanking her, Nana Hashimoto shook her head helplessly, understanding that this problem could only make Yoshiko slowly adapt.

Located in front of the Akishino Palace in the Akasaka Imperial Grounds, Yasushi Akimoto, the producer of Nogizaka 46, got out of the car that had brought him here.

Yasushi Akimoto was not surprised that he would receive an invitation from Prince Fumihito of Akishinomiya. When he saw Yoshiko at the selection site of the second phase of Nogizaka 46, Yasu Akimoto guessed that His Royal Highness the Prince would invite him. After all, she is a royal princess, although His Royal Highness the Prince allows his beloved daughter to become an idol, but as a royal family, he will definitely not allow His Royal Highness Jiazi to break into the art world like this. Tonight's invitation, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Prince hopes that he will take special care of His Royal Highness that Jiazi.

For this, Akimoto Yasu is not disgusted. The royal princess can become an idol, which is great news for Yasusu Akimoto, at least it means that the girl idol culture she has created has been accepted by the Japanese upper class. As for the special treatment of Her Royal Highness the princess, this is also the meaning of it. At the very least, things that damage the face of the royal family, such as swimwear or underwear photos, must be banned.

Moreover, if Her Royal Highness the princess caused any scandal during her time as an idol, it would not only be a huge blow to the royal family, but also to the prestige of the idol girl group she formed. So you have to take precautions, at least the things that you made when you were making a kitten club are absolutely prohibited.

It seems that he needs to communicate with Sony Music's Naoki Kitagawa about this idol princess, and while thinking like this, Yasushi Akimoto stepped into this Akishino palace under the guidance of the palace attendants.

"Mr. Akimoto, welcome to you." Seeing Akimoto Yasu come in, Prince Fumihito, who was originally sitting on the sofa, stood up and greeted Akimoto Yasu's arrival.
