Sony Music Building, a dance training studio located at Nogizaka46.
In a few days, the Nogizaka Midsummer Tour will begin. This time they will go to Sendai City, Nagoya, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Osaka and Tokyo to start the tour. The tour will be completed within a month, and the entire August will be busy.
The song list for the first stop has come out, and the members are practicing the dance nervously. Although they have danced it countless times, there are always so many dances that they can't remember for a while, so they practice a lot to let their bodies remember it.
is the best way.
Sakurai Reika holds the dance position map of the members in her hand. As the leader, she will write down the dance positions of each song in a notebook, and then mark the points to pay attention to. A few years have passed, and now she has in her hand
There is already a thick pile of information.
This job is very hard. Although Sakurai Reika's character is useless in variety shows, she is absolutely reliable in daily life.
Yasushi Akimoto has always had a good vision in choosing captains.
During the break, everyone was sitting on the floor of the training room, chatting in twos and threes. It was midsummer, and the girls were all wearing cool short-sleeves and loose training pants. Their fair skin was exposed and sparkling in the air.
Sakurai Reika put down the information and walked over to Erika Ikuta and sat down. She put her arm around her shoulders and pulled Erika Ikuta over who was playing with Minami Hoshino.
"No, Suzuka-chan...it's very hot." Erika Ikuta tried to resist, but failed.
"Iku-chan, let me ask you, then... did I drink too much that day and did something very rude?" Sakurai Reika was a little embarrassed and whispered in her ear, rubbing the hair on her cheek.
She was itchy.
"Are you talking about the day of the stage play celebration party?" Erika Ikuta straightened her legs while sitting cross-legged and changed her position. "That day you kept telling Mr. Kazuki that you wanted him to hand over the throne, hehehehehe."
Thinking of the scene at that time, Erika Ikuta couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hoshino Minami on the side opened his eyes wide and came over and asked: "What...what? Iku-chan, what are you talking about?"
"Oh, Konan, don't join in the fun." Sakurai Reika lowered her head.
"Ah!" She rushed over and grabbed Hoshino Minami into her arms, and pinched Konan's tender cheeks crazily.
Hoshino Minami screamed "Yeah" when she was attacked, quickly swept her hand away, and jumped back like a frightened little rabbit.
"What are you doing? Really..." Hoshino Minami's cute voice coupled with her cute appearance has always played the role of the younger sister in the group, and everyone can't help but love her.
But sometimes this kind of "love" makes her overwhelmed.
Sakurai Reika pouted, looked at Ikuta Erika, and asked, "Nishino-san, aren't you angry?" Although she was scolded by her manager the next day, she never understood Nishino Kazuki's attitude.
It will be difficult to deal with if you are angry. Will Nogizaka's reputation be harmed?
"Teacher Kazuki won't be angry, don't worry...he is not a stingy person." Erika Ikuta blurted out without even thinking.
"Yeah..." Sakurai Reika was still a little worried and a little disappointed, but she was immediately left behind. Anyway, there are still a few performances in the stage play in the future, so I'll apologize in person.
"The teacher you are talking about, Kazuki, is Nishino Kazuki?" Hoshino Minami tidied up her newly messed up hair and came over again.
Being a kid himself, Hoshino Minami also joined the conversation.
"The name is Ka-san!" Sakurai Reika hit her on the head, "It doesn't matter here. If you are rude outside, you will be criticized. Nango-san has taught you that."
Sakurai Reika showed her dignity as a captain.
Nango is Nango Yui. He is the general manager of Nogizaka46. He is responsible for the daily life of the Nogizaka girls. He is very strict and many members have been reprimanded by him.
"Oh~" Hoshino Minami stuck out his tongue, indicating that he understood.
"Xonan, do you also know Mr. Kazuki?"
"Well, dad told me about it."
Hoshino Minami's father is a senior executive of Tokyo Sports News, working in its subsidiary "Tokyo Sports News", and he is also a well-known figure in the entertainment industry.
Moreover, this newspaper often reported news about the entertainment industry, so his father also knew about Nishino Kazuki.
"It's not that news recently, have you watched "Zip!"?" Sakurai Reika said quietly that the Nogizaka members had even appeared on this show.
"What's wrong?"
"The one who said on the zip program that Nishino-san's acting skills are terrible cannot be as good as Director Uejima said." Sakurai Reika was a little angry. After all, as a member of the crew, Nishino Kazuki belongs to "one of our own"
", I always felt that Longdao Sang was pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai.
"How can such a person exist? It's so abominable." Erika Ikuta thought about it, "Then didn't he offend Ueshima-san?"
In the entertainment industry, everyone is using resources to brag and promote themselves. Everyone is carrying the sedan chair, but it is rare to find someone who is arguing. After all, if you have something worth talking about in the future, no one will help you praise you.
"This person from Cage Island is so scary." Hoshino Minami remembered that she had met him at a Japanese drama appreciation party dinner held by the news agency. His face showed that he was a scary person.
"Xiao Nan, have you seen him?" everyone asked curiously.
"Well, I met him when I was with my father. At that time, he seemed to be teaching the younger generation." Hoshino Minami recalled.
"What did he say?" Sakurai Reika was curious.
"But later on I was just focused on eating and didn't notice what he was saying." Hoshino Minami stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly.
"..."
Erika Ikuta raised her head, then lowered her head in frustration. As an idol, she did not have an SNS account, and she could not publicly support him in her personal capacity. Even if there was an operation, she would not allow it. As a young idol, she was not qualified to do things that offended others.
of.
She suddenly felt a little depressed.
"Well, don't talk about these topics." Sakurai Reika tugged her hair around her ears, stood up and went to find other members.
Hoshino Minami also ran to the other side and started making trouble with member Saito Asuka, leaving Erika Ikuta sitting here alone.
Mr. Kazuki wouldn’t care anyway, would he?
Erika Ikuta appeared like Nishino Kazuki, serious at times, sinister at times, and gentle in the play. She suddenly wanted to send him an email on her mobile phone, but after thinking about it, she didn't have her phone with her, so she had to give up.
.........
.........
After training, Erika Ikuta trotted to the lounge, took out her mobile phone and edited the email. She typed many words of encouragement. When she pressed the send button, she suddenly hesitated. After thinking for a few minutes, she deleted the words one by one.
[Teacher Kazuki, are you okay?] In the end, I just sent this sentence and received a reply immediately.
【I'm dying now!】
Huh? Erika Ikuta was stunned for a few seconds. The phone beeped and she received another email from Kazuki Nishino.
【I'm starving...I only had one meal today.】
Phew...so that's what I'm talking about, it's true!
Erika Ikuta felt nervous for nothing, but she felt that the result was not bad. Since she could still joke like this, it proved that she was fine.
[Then... how about I treat you to dinner, Mr. Heshu?] She typed out these words by mistake and sent them.
[No, you should eat less snacks from me next time.]
