In the blink of an eye, more than half of the month-long training camp has passed. Although the training was very difficult, all the members gritted their teeth and persevered. Also working hard were the chefs in the cafeteria, who had obviously prepared ten more people than the actual number.
A large amount of food, but it is often eaten all.
Yes, especially the two girls named Ikuta and Matsumura, they were always the two carrying big plates to urge them to get food quickly.
During this period of joint training, the relationship between the members gradually warmed up, and the positioning of the members also emerged during this training camp.
For example, Erika Ikuta, Mica Eto, etc. are good at singing.
Rena Ichirai, Mayo Kawamura, etc. who are good at dancing.
Kazumi Takayama, who is good at activating the atmosphere among the members, Mai Fukawa, the eldest sister in the group, Marika Ito, who has excellent stage performance, the duo of Sayuri Inoue, and Maika Nakagen, who has the experience of studying idols and is excellent in all aspects.
Of course, there is also Oda City, who is versatile in singing and dancing, and his appearance is outstanding among idol groups like Nogizaka.
Due to the rapid progress of the course, the difficulty of the training also increased rapidly. Almost all members showed signs of being unable to keep up with the progress or partial to subjects. Only one person in Oda City could perfectly meet the teacher's requirements during every training.
, far beyond others.
"Although Xiaoichi is very easy-going in daily life, once she starts training, her performance will overwhelmingly overwhelm everyone else, just like the 'Sixth Heaven Demon King', eclipsing everyone else.
." This was Rina Ikoma's evaluation of Oda City during a casual chat, and this sentence was also agreed by many other members.
…
On September 23, the afternoon dance training ended early. After the members returned to the dormitory, took a shower and changed into uniforms, they gathered in the conference room where the meeting was held a month ago.
As everyone knows, this meeting is supposed to announce the selection list for the first recording of "Where Are We Going Nogizaka?" that was notified before. Everyone does not want to give up this opportunity to appear on the TV series for the first time.
There was no whispering or talking to each other. After arriving at the conference room, all members lined up according to their selection numbers.
Offstage, the staff were still doing the final photography confirmation work.
On the stage, the girls stood there quietly and nervously.
Not long after, this rare tranquility was broken by a series of footsteps, and Nanxiang walked in with a list in his hand.
The video light for fill light was turned on, and the camera also lit up a small red dot after a brief sound.
After briefly asking about the training results, Nanxiang went straight to the topic without saying much: "Members whose names are read, please step forward——"
The first person whose name was read was "Shiraishi Mai"
As one of the most beautiful women in the group, coupled with her tall figure and good singing and dancing skills, Mai Shiraishi's popularity has always been high on the official website. However, she is usually taciturn and doesn't like to socialize with others. The relationship between Oda and her
It's not particularly good, they just say hello when they meet, but that's about it.
"Erika Ikuta" When his name was called, Ikuta walked out calmly. But Oda could see the corners of his mouth that instantly raised when he heard his name and his right hand that was so excited that he clenched his fist.
Next, the names were reported one by one, and Little Asuka was among them. Seeing her pacing out in small steps with tears in her eyes, Oda was inexplicably moved by the feeling of a child becoming a talented person.
Finally, at the penultimate spot, the name she was so familiar with and the name she had been waiting for for a long time rang out.
"Oda City"
Upon hearing his name, Oda turned his head and glanced at Hika, who was standing next to him. Hika still looked at her with a gentle smile, her eyes conveying the blessing of "Come on".
So Oda opened his legs and walked towards the selection team.
Although it was just a few steps, countless scenes flashed through Oda's mind like a revolving lantern.
The flash of light when the results of the final selection are announced.
The lonely and determined figure when her father sent her out.
The photo in the wallet.
That little mountain of food in the cafeteria.
Teacher's piano during vocal lessons.
Drumsticks held in the hands of little flying birds in the music rehearsal room.
The excited expressions of the selected members who walked out one by one.
And the encouraging yet lonely look in Riyaka's eyes.
…
When he walked to the selection team, Nango had already read out the last name "Ikoma Rina".
In the dazzling white light, Oda could not clearly see the things in front of him. He could only hear a burst of applause, both from Nanxiang and the staff, as well as from the non-selected members.
It was obviously just a selection, but it gave Oda a great sense of accomplishment. This sense of accomplishment was something she had never experienced before.
The eyes are a little moist.
I actually cried, but let it go.
The things in front of me became more hazy due to tears, as if they had turned into a long sloping road.
Oda City has already taken its first step on this slope.
We will eventually reach the mountain road, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how hard it is.
