041, AKB48, the original girl group before Nogizaka46?
There are many girl groups in later generations, and there are also many who are not good at singing and dancing.
But as long as it has a certain sparkle, it can be accepted by the audience.
Compared with the perfect "royal idols" that were carefully created during the Showa era, this girl group with certain shortcomings gives people a "real" feeling.
When the members of a girl group have enough shining points that can cover up shortcomings such as poor singing and dancing, then it is possible for an idol girl group to take shape.
Starlight artists can be selected to take photos, which at least shows that their figure and appearance are online. They already have a bright spot. As long as they dig a little more, forming a real girl group will not be a problem.
As for whether rb’s audience can accept it?
The later akb48 and Nogizaka46 have fully proven this.

...
"Otomo-san, why don't you consider turning artists into a girl group?"
"A girl group? A girl group?" Yoshimura Otomo's face turned red and he was a little stuttered when he spoke, "The three girls of the flower...and...Pink lady?"
"No," Naoki Nagayama said helplessly, "Otomo-san, if you are as good as the idols in these two groups, do you still need to drink alcohol here?"
"Yes, so what is a girl group?"
"As the name suggests, it is a girl's group, but the number can be larger, more than 5 members." Naoki Nagayama said slowly,
"Everyone is not a perfect idol, they have their own shortcomings and shining points.
But when a little bit of light merges into a whole, what people will see is the idol’s ‘starlight’.”
"That...that kind of...starlight or something..." Yoshimura Otomo smiled, like a wretched middle-aged man,
"It must be beautiful~"
Then with a bang, he fell drunk on the table of the izakaya.
"What? How dare you ask someone out to drink when you are so drunk?!" Nagayama Naoki didn't notice for a moment, but he actually let him stay drunk like this.
"How can it be repaired~ You still have to pay for the drinks?!"
"What a shame! After paying the money, I have to send this old man back?! I don't even know where he lives!"
...
...
"So, you sent him to the studio?" Itou Shuichi looked at Yoshimura Otomo on the couch in the office.
“Private Marseille, I really don’t know where he lives.”
"It would be embarrassing for Otomo-san to send it back to the office."
"If I send a drunk uncle to the hotel, it will be misunderstood."
"If you leave it on the roadside, it won't be good if something unexpected happens."
"After much thought, I realized that Xiu Yi-san is a mutual friend of ours, and the space here is big enough. I can definitely find a place to sleep, so I brought him here."
Yi Tang Xiuyi had a toothache: "You can let him sleep in your car."
Naoki Nagayama said confidently: "I can't bear to part with my new sports car!"
The reason is very good.
...
I haven't been to Yitang Shuichi for quite a while, and the studio is actually very free.
"Xiu Yi-san, have you finished shooting the commercial?"
"Nope!"
Nagayama Naoki was a little strange: "It's been almost a week, why isn't it over yet?"
It’s just an advertisement. If we hurry up, we can shoot it in one day.
"The male and female protagonists have been unable to get into the right mood for the rivalry scenes. In addition, both of them have announced their departures, so they can't make up the time~"
"Haha, didn't Shuichi-san let them go on a date?" Naoki Nagayama thought of his previous experience.
"If Johnny knows that I encourage their idol to fall in love, Yakuza will come to do things!" Itou Shuichi joked about Johnny's dark background.
"Hahaha~" Nagayama Naoki also laughed, seeing that the studio had already set up the scenery, "Then we are going to shoot today?"
"Yes, I finally have free time in the afternoon. I hope I can finish the filming today."
Nagayama Naoki has nothing to do for the time being, and plans to continue discussing the girl group after Yoshimura Daiyu wakes up, so he plans to stay and watch the excitement.
Itou Shuichi said it was nothing and watched him greet the staff.
The actual filming didn't start until the male and female protagonists arrived. At this time, Naoki Nagayama certainly did not disturb the filming scene, but stood far behind the scenes.
Itou Shuichi is in ng again, Kondo Masahiko is complaining again, I don’t know the heroine very well, but she looks very cute...
It's really interesting to stand outside the circle and watch the filming of the reality show.
...
After an hour or two, Fangcun Otomo had sobered up and was still wondering why he was in the studio.
"Otomo-san, you finally woke up~" Naoki Nagasaki poured a glass of water, "Do you still remember what we were talking about before?"
"I'm so rude, Naoki-san, for calling you here so arbitrarily." Yoshimura Otomo seemed to have woken up, "But what I said before was a bit vague, it seemed to be starlight or something..."
"Ha, I really forgot."
"I'm talking about a girl group, a girl group!"
"Um, is it a girl group? The one between the Three Girls of Flowers... and... Pink Lady (pink lady)?"
Even the words are the same, it seems that Yoshimura Otomo is really a fan of these two groups.
Nagayama Naoki explained again: "No, it's not that the members are all high-quality idols, but an idol group with more than 5 people.
Members may have shortcomings, but they also have attractive shining points. The shining points of the group members combine to form the star of the entire idol group~"
"Naoki-san means to let the artists from Starlight Co., Ltd. form an idol group?" Yoshimura Otomo was surprised, "Would that be attractive?"
"The image of girl idols is so perfect, isn't it? It's not a bad thing to have less-than-perfect idol groups occasionally.
Although none of the artists at Starlight are as charming as idols, they are a group of young girls with good looks and figures, so they won’t be annoying no matter what.”
Yoshimura Otomo also nodded, and Naoki Nagayama continued:
"Although there are shortcomings of one kind or another, the shining points will be even more attractive against the backdrop of the shortcomings."
"Naoki-san, I'm afraid there will be some resistance to such a girl group, right? There will also be a lot of criticism from the media." Otomo Yoshimura was a little worried.
"Hey, now that orthodox idols are popular, such girl groups may not be well accepted.
But Otomo-san, your firm is not well-known to begin with, so even if it’s criticism, it’s still popularity.”
Are black fans also fans?
When Fangcun Dayou heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Naoki-san really hit the nail on the head!"
Nagayama Naoki said: "After waiting for the popularity to increase, whether it is taking the opportunity to release records or produce reality shows, these are the directions in which we can continue to develop."
"Anyway, I didn't do anything bad. With a group of cute girls, there won't be strong resistance from everyone~"
Such an operation is worthy of Naoki-san.
Fangcun Dayou thought for a while and felt that it was indeed feasible.
"Also, Otomo-san. The characteristic of the girl group is that the people in it can be constantly rotated.
You can even create an ancestral girl group, use a recruitment system for the members, and regularly inject new blood to keep it active and even become a kind of inheritance."
"Original girl group?"
Yoshimura Otomo decided to give it a try.
...
...
During the intermission, Kondo Masahiko and Matsuzawa Masajun said: "What is that guy doing here? Are you standing there watching jokes again..."
"It should be that Ido Shuichi has something to do with him." Matsuzawa Masahiro was not sure.
"Nasty guy."
"Mahiko-san, why do you dislike Nagayama Naoki?" From Matsuzawa Masaki's point of view, it was only the second time he met Nagayama Naoki. The first time he didn't seem to have much contact with them, and he didn't treat them rudely.
"That guy always looks great and doesn't take others seriously. It's annoying to see him."
