"For me, it is a song of great significance. It is very precious and I like it very much."
"I will listen to this song when I go through various points in life."
"Although the song is called [Forcing Others to Make Things Difficult], I don't want to force others to make things difficult for me. Even though such great scenery appears in front of me time and time again, I choose to go another way. This should be the biggest thing that makes things difficult for others."
It was already the end of the concert. Nana Hashimoto stood alone in the center of the huge stage, holding a black microphone. The stage lights were down, reflecting her slightly tear-stained cheeks, and then she said these words.
It was probably her true feelings about herself.
Below is a sea of green, with green fluorescent sticks one after another. From a height, they look like twinkling stars.
Nishino Kazuki sat in the box, and there was no one around him. After Muramatsu Shunryo left, he watched the entire concert alone. After enjoying their songs, he also saw some people crying. He thought this was worthy of being
The idol group created by Yasuko, fans have witnessed their growth, their friendship, their joy, and their sadness, so they can especially feel the same emotions as the girls.
Therefore, the fans' stickiness is strong and their true feelings are overwhelming. Of course, the support will become stronger and stronger.
Nishino Kazuki was in a very free and easy mood today. Although it was a farewell concert, he didn't have the same mood. It was just rare to see Nana Hashimoto crying like this, trying to hold back the tears and still shed them. It made him
Feel novel.
Thinking like this, Hashimoto Nanami spoke again.
"However, I believe that the path I have chosen is the right one."
"...Next, please listen -"
"Forcing people to do what is difficult."
The prelude sounded, and everyone cheered under the stage, encouraging Hashimoto Nanami.
Nana Hashimoto was already very familiar with this song, but she sang it intermittently. She choked up several times. She obviously wanted to say goodbye well before going on stage, but when she got on stage, she realized that saying goodbye was not that easy.
It always comes suddenly, instantly, pounces on you, and even takes a few bites in your mind, turning the sweetest memories into endless longing and reluctance.
When her friend Mai Shiraishi read the letter she had written tremblingly, the two finally hugged each other. Nana Hashimoto held Mai Shiraishi's hair with her hands. Her earrings fell off and became entangled in her hair without knowing when, while her friend hugged tightly.
Hold her.
Hashimoto Nana didn't understand that saying goodbye was always painful, and there were always things that were too late to say and things that were too late to be done, but it didn't matter. She also knew that there would always be shortcomings in life. Now that you have made a decision, don't regret it and keep going.
He walked in just now when Mai Shiraishi appeared.
"The relationship in the group is good." Nishino Kazuki said. He seemed a little sad when he looked at his girlfriend, but then he smiled again. Women's emotions are inherently unpredictable.
"So, will Hashimoto work for you from now on?" Muramatsu Shunliang's eyes were still looking down, as if he asked casually.
"It depends on her own choice. I just made a suggestion." Nishino Kazuki really doesn't care in his heart. He and Hashimoto Nana are not friends after all. If she comes to his office, how will the two get along?
Changes will occur. To be honest, Nishino Kazuki thought it was easiest to get along with him before.
Muramatsu Toshi nodded and continued to watch.
The last song, "The Meaning of Goodbye", has already started in the audience. Nana Hashimoto chose it as the opening song and also chose it as the ending song.
With Nana Hashimoto's wave, her last time in Nogizaka46 came to an end. The fans in the audience said goodbye to her, and everyone shouted her name.
Today is Nana Hashimoto’s birthday, February 20, 2017.
The last memory she left to people was probably her affectionate bow under the green light of the audience and her warm embrace under everyone's gaze.
As well as her nose which was slightly red due to emotion, and her lips which were slightly full due to warmth.

After the concert, Kazuki Nishino followed Toshiro Muramatsu to the backstage of the concert. The crowd was noisy and various media also entered to prepare for shooting materials.
Hashimoto Nana was surrounded by everyone in the center. Yoshio Konno held a bouquet of flowers and dedicated it to Hashimoto Nana on behalf of the Nogizaka operators.
"Congratulations on your graduation." Yoshio Konno said with a smile.
Yoshio Konno also felt sorry for Hashimoto Nana's graduation, but now that the deal was done, it was impossible for him to say anything. The best way to express himself was to choose to express his blessing.
Nana Hashimoto also gave up at this moment. She didn't want to be involved in the struggle. She just wanted to live a good life after graduation.
"Thank you." Nana Hashimoto took the flower, held it in her hand, bowed first to the operators, and then bowed to the members.
Everyone applauded and congratulated her on her graduation.
After the ceremony was over, Nishino Kazuki followed Muramatsu Shunryo. He glanced at the members. Everyone seemed a little tired. There were still some beads of sweat on their foreheads. His girlfriend Shiraishi Mai's eyes were still a little red. Ikuta Erika
Yes, it seems like a lot of tears were shed.
Nishino Nanase seemed to have been arrested by the media for an interview. Nishino Kazuki only saw her back.
Hori Mina hid in the crowd in the back row, keeping her eyes on Nishino Kazuki, expecting the other party to give her a look.
It happened that Nishino Kazuki felt the scorching gaze and turned his head to glance at her. Their eyes met and they were separated at the first touch.
In less than a second, Hori Mina felt extremely happy, and the smile on her face immediately bloomed.
Next to her, Kitano Hinako frowned and hurriedly pulled her friend's uniform.
"Hey, your soul is gone."
Hori Mina came back to her senses and was still laughing.
Nishino Kazuki approached and said to Hashimoto Nanami who was still holding a bouquet: "Congratulations on your graduation."
"Thank you." Hashimoto Nana said thank you, "And thank you for the flowers."
"After all, they are Wenchun's certified 'friends', so how can we not give them away?" Nishino Kazuki said with a smile.
The members have dispersed to do other things, interviewing, changing clothes, and only Hashimoto Nana is left. Later, she will change out of the uniform she wore for the last time, take off her makeup, and end her career.
The careers of Nogizaka members.
"The song "Forcing People to Difficulty" was quite nice today."
"?" Hashimoto Nana looked at him. When did this guy start saying nice things?
