November 29, Showa 56, the weather was beautiful and sunny,
The temperature in Tokyo is a pleasant 22℃. You can enjoy the autumn scenery of Tokyo by wearing a sweatshirt.
Naoki Nagayama got up early. Today is the day to cheer for Akina, but he can't miss it because he's too lazy.
Driving my beloved sports car, I arrived at the downstairs of the Nippon TV building by familiar means. After parking the car in the garage, the time was around 8:30, and it should be here soon.
Naoki Nagayama took out a pack of cheering sticks from the back seat and prepared to walk to the front door to wait~
However, the security uncle at the door seemed to have looked over several times. What was this handsome young man carrying a big bag doing?
The POSE has been there since just now. Is it some program on the station that is being filmed hiddenly? I don’t see the camera? Is the technology already so advanced?
Nagayama Naoki was helpless. He stood near the gate for a long time, carrying a heavy bag, so he could only put it aside.
In the days without mobile phones, waiting for someone was really a torture. If I had known better, I would have brought a book or magazine to kill the time.
Just as I was thinking about it, a huge group of 7 people in front of me was slowly approaching, and the shortest one was Nakamori Akiho.
Naoki Nagayama raised his hand and shook it, and Akiho Nakamori greeted happily: "Naoki-san, you're already here~ How long have you been waiting?"
"Not long~"
Looking at the big bag in Naoki Nagayama's hand, the eldest sister Akie Nakamori asked: "Naoki-san, what is this bag?"
"Ah, it's a cheering stick. I thought that as a fan, I should show some appreciation."
"He is indeed a professional!" Nakamori Akiho said from the side, "No one has prepared anything~"
"It's okay, there are a lot of support sticks."
Then Naoki Nagayama greeted all the men present,
Speaking of which, Nagayama Naoki is actually a close acquaintance with several men from the Nakamori family, and he is quite familiar with several ladies. Even Chieko is very kind to her.
As the head of the family, her mother, Chieko, patted Akina on the head: "We people are here to cheer Akina, isn't it the best support! Stop standing at the door, let's go in~"
Then he said to Nagayama Naoki: "Nagayama-san, let's go in~"
"Hi~"
The scale of the pre-final review meeting was obviously larger than before, and the studio was also very large, with at least a dozen rows of spectators sitting in it.
The first few rows are basically people from the entertainment industry, judges, talent scouts, producers...
Each one needs to carefully examine the overall quality of the players to decide whether to make an appointment in advance or who has potential and is worth cultivating.
As a group of players' relatives and friends, they are also arranged relatively near the front, roughly in the middle.
While he was sitting down, Naoki Nagayama also gave the cheer sticks to the Nakamori family.
"Probably just wave the cheering stick when you go on stage, wave it again after singing, and in short, just hit each other with the cheering sticks when others are applauding."
To put it simply, a cheering stick is a long balloon that makes a sound like applause when struck.
...
As usual, the contestants entered the backstage early to prepare for makeup. There were only 8 contestants today, so it can be expected that the time will not be too long.
"Akisu-san, Akina-san will also sing "The Insider in the Mengxian Case" today, right?"
"Hey, I heard her say yes before. Akina also went through a month of training for this~"
"Is that so? That's really hard work."
Just as he was talking, he remembered the opening music, and the host began to invite and introduce the judges and the process, and then some of the audience in the audience began to cheer and applaud according to the rhythm.
Sure enough, there are many who are asking for help~
One by one, the contestants came to the stage and began to sing their competition songs. The judges in the audience also gave timely opinions.
In fact, the scoring this time has almost determined the players' chances of debuting. If there is no particularly eye-catching breakthrough in the final battle next week, then today will be considered the final.
"Next up is Nakamori Akina, 16 years old, welcome!"
The voice of the host on the stage announced the appearance of Akina Nakamori. The girl in a white dress walked out of the door. Naoki Nagayama and a group of people immediately raised their support sticks and applauded~
"Ah, Akina-san has changed her hairstyle. She doesn't look like a 16-year-old in a skirt at all."
Naoki Nagayama and Akiho next to him whispered,
"That's my mother's favorite dress!" Nakamori Akiho muttered, "I've borrowed it several times but never gave it back..."
"Hahaha, is that so?"
Music sounded on the stage, and Yamaguchi Momoe's "The Insider" was re-interpreted by Akina.
It can be seen that compared to the youthful days in August, this time my demeanor and eyes are much more perfect, and my stage performance has improved a lot.
The short song was intoxicating. At the end of the song, the entire audience applauded. The Nakamori family held cheering sticks, which made them particularly conspicuous.
After the song ended, the host said to her: "There are many people at the scene cheering for Akina-san, and the row over there is even more impressive. Are they fans of Akina-san?"
When Xiao Mingcai saw the people holding cheering sticks, she smiled shyly: "They are family members~"
The host smiled and said: "I knew before that contestant Akina comes from a family with many children, which is rare nowadays. Sure enough, there is a lot of support from her family~"
"Hey~ I hope I can live up to their expectations~"
"Then with the encouragement of my family, let's take a look at this week's scores!"
"Hi~" the host said in English with a thick Japanese accent: "Okay, then switch
on!"
The huge scorer on the background wall reveals Akina's score this week - 88!
Highest score so far!
The judges in the audience said directly: "I have nothing to guide you anymore, prepare for the finals next week~"
.......
Akina Nakamori is the penultimate contestant. After her performance, the pre-review meeting will end soon.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The crowd at the scene also slowly left the studio venue. The Nakamori family and Naoki Nagayama were waiting for Akina to come out outside the staff passage.
After a while, Xiao Mingcai trotted over and hugged Chieko's arm, "Ogasan~ I'm here~"
Only then did I realize that I was still 16 years old.
Then he chatted with his family about something until he saw Nagayama Naoki next to him and smiled a little embarrassedly:
"Naoki-san, thank you for coming to cheer me up~Arigado~"
"It's okay, it's okay. Akina-san's performance is very good. Thanks to Akina, I heard the familiar "The Insider of the Mengxian Case" again~"
Xiao Mingcai was still a little excited: "It's still a little bit behind, and it still didn't perform well in some places~"
The few of them walked towards the door while talking, "Speaking of which, Naoki-san is also from the entertainment industry~"
Xiao Mingcai suddenly thought of this, "In addition to running idol girl groups like Wildcats~"
"Hi, what's up?"
Xiao Mingna was still a little embarrassed: "So from Naoki-san's point of view, how is my performance on the stage? Is there anything that can be improved?"
The other members of the Zhongsen family also stopped talking for a moment, seeming to want to listen.
Every time 8 pairs of eyes look at each other, it puts a lot of pressure on people...
"As for my stage performance, I performed very well. It has improved a lot compared to August~"
Feeling that these eyes were not going away, Nagayama Naoki had to bite the bullet and express his opinion:
"If there is anything that can be improved, Akina-san~"
"Nani?"
"Why don't you try black clothes next time? Black can show a more mature feeling."
"Eh?" Xiao Mingcai lowered her head, and sure enough, she began to have her own thoughts about the stage at this time.
