After lunch, the two strolled around for a while before waving goodbye. At this time, none of them thought that their vacation would be temporarily announced to end that night; nor did they think that they would face the next day.
What is.
Getting up, washing up, putting on light makeup with the newly bought cosmetics, and having breakfast, everything was so normal. Oda also arrived at the recording site of "Where's Nogizaka" an hour early according to the notification time. However,
To Oda's surprise, the door to the lounge did not open this time, and Oda was taken by STAFF to a venue surrounded by cameras. In the center of the venue were seats arranged in a certain order.
Seeing this scenery, Oda also guessed what was going to happen next, so he sat down in his own seat.
Perhaps because Oda came too early today, most of the members have not arrived yet. The area around Oda is empty. In fact, the relationship between Oda and other members present is not particularly good, and he is too embarrassed to show it.
When the book or mobile phone comes out, I can only sit in my seat and stare at the empty camera lens in front of me in a daze.
After a single is released, the next selection will be held non-stop. This is something everyone knows, but Oda did not expect it to happen so quickly. Four months ago, Oda was also selected in this studio.
He became one of Nogizaka's five singles, and during these four months, Oda has been doing his best to complete his job, and finally gave a very good answer.
After the fifth single results came out, Oda was also called into the office by Konno for a talk. The content of the talk was basically praise and encouragement. What was revealed between the lines was that he was optimistic about himself and "You are very suitable to be a ter."
"This kind of information.
Unlike others, Oda actually doesn't attach much importance to the position of Ter. She doesn't have the idea that "with great power comes great responsibility" like Spider-Man; she doesn't work hard to become a Ter, but becomes a Ter because she is a Ter.
She has to work hard to be worthy of this position. Of course, she also knows that the performance of a single is not only related to ter, but also to the promotion and song selection. But although there are so many influencing factors, the fans'
The focus will always be on ter - the larger the fan base, the more black and white the thoughts become.
For them, if a single sells well, it means Ter is great; if it does not sell well, it means Ter is not good. This is why Ikoma has been attacked by the Internet during this period. "The single sold poorly, but
"ter did a great job" is the same as "GNR lost but IZU didn't lose" and will not be accepted by the fan base.
——
After about half an hour, all the members arrived at the scene early and sat in their own seats. When they entered the room, Oda had actually been observing their expressions: some were surprised, some were surprised.
Some are afraid, some are full of hope, and some seem to have no momentum left.
Oda noticed Ikoma next to him. Although he was still chatting with Hoshino with a smile on his face, her nervousness could be seen from her trembling hands tightly placed on her knees;
Ikuta's performance was even more obvious. He kept his head down and said nothing, and the smile that usually hung on his face disappeared.
Seeing Ikuta's appearance, Oda also reached out and gently stroked her back, hoping to give her a little strength through this small action of his.
"Nogizaka46, the sixth single selection members are announced!" In the words of Shitara and Himura, this selection officially began. The ranking of the sixth single is the same as that of the fifth single, both "458", among which the top
The nine people in the row are the gods of good fortune.
"No. 10, Marika Ito." The first member whose name was called was UG, which also showed that one of the original selected members would definitely drop. After hearing the news, although everyone was preparing for Ito to enter
They applauded for the selection, but it was also obvious that the mood of the original third row members had become a little lower.
Oda was naturally very happy that this girl with similar interests and hobbies was selected. When she passed by him, he reached out his hand and quietly gave her a high-five.
The names of "Yuri Saito", "Sayuri Inoue", "Mai Fukawa" and "Kana Nakata" were called one by one, and the atmosphere in the venue became more and more tense.
"Akimoto Manatsu" Hearing his name, the tears in Akimoto's eyes finally fell down unbearably. He covered his mouth to prevent his voice from being heard by others, and quickened his pace to leave the room.
"I entered the Eight Lucky Gods twice, but I didn't expect that I would lose this time..." Hearing Akimoto's words, Nakata nodded with the same feeling. She fell from the Lucky Gods to the third row and then to the Under. She also experienced the same experience.
Experienced, "But no matter what happens, I will work hard to return to the position of God of Fortune next time."
After Akimoto, Hoshino also fell into the third row, which also shows that two lucky gods have definitely changed hands.
The next announcement was the position of the God of Fortune. After hearing this, Oda basically knew the remaining positions. It is almost impossible for the original God of Fortune to fall directly into the Under, and it is almost impossible for the Under to directly become the God of Fortune.
So the next nine positions are to be chosen among the ten people whose names have not been called yet.
As Oda expected, the next names announced by the host were all sitting in the first two rows, but what was different from before was that Ikoma and Ikuta, who had been staying in the first row, fell to the second row.
There were four seats left, and the four former gods of good fortune, Oda, Shiraishi, Hashimoto and Matsumura, were sitting on the field. Ning Ning had lowered her head and silently started to shed tears. Nagashima, who was usually full of energy, also rarely
He stopped smiling.
Hashimoto and Matsumura were called out one after another, leaving only Oda and Shiraishi in the first row.
In fact, when the ranking of Water was announced, Oda had already anticipated his position, so at this time Oda glanced at Shiraishi with a relaxed attitude, only to find that he was one position away from him.
She was lowering her head, her long hair and bangs covering her entire face, making it difficult to tell what her expression was.
"Oda City" At this time, Oda's name was called, and Oda walked onto the stage with the same expression of neither sadness nor joy as in previous selections. When passing by Shiraishi, Oda secretly extended his hand.
He rubbed Shiraishi's hair with his hand. Feeling the touch on his head, Shiraishi raised his head. In a blur of tears, Shiraishi saw Oda secretly showing his thumb behind him.
"Oda, you have become a Ter again, what do you think?"
"Actually, it's hard for me to express my feelings in words right now. Now I just want to thank everyone for trusting me and giving me this opportunity, and I will do my best to do it well." Oda said calmly.
Said these words.
"Oda-san always gives people a very calm feeling." Himura said.
"Well, this calmness can also lead Nogizaka to move more smoothly." Shitara added, "Oda-san, please take a seat first."
Then, as everyone expected, her name was announced.
"No. 1, Mai Shiraishi"
Pursing his lips, Shiraishi wiped the tears from his face, blinked hard to push back the liquid secreted by his tear glands, then stood up and walked towards the door with some hesitation.
