After the recording, the members rushed to the training room non-stop to start a new day of training. Since the MV shooting for the debut single was to be filmed the next day, the practice was mainly about checking for mistakes and filling in the gaps, and the dance teacher only went back and forth to correct some mistakes.
It was just a small mistake. After a few jumps, a middle-aged man with a beard walked in under the leadership of Nanxiang.
"This is the director of our solo PV this time, Mr. Nan." Nan Xiang introduced to the girls in the training room.
The girls who had stopped dancing when Nango came in straightened their bodies immediately when they heard the word "director". Ikoma, the singer of this single, took the lead: "One, two, we are Nogizaka46."
"Hello everyone, this time I will be the PV director of these 4 songs." Although Mr. Nan has a big beard, his voice is in contrast to his rough appearance, "Tomorrow we will be filming
The filming of the two songs "Poetry of Nogizaka" and "Curtain Around"..."
Then Nan briefly talked to the members about some details that needed attention, then said hello to Nan Xiang and left.
"Although Mr. Nan looks a little scary, I feel like he is a gentle person." As soon as Nan walked out of the room, Ikuta couldn't wait to put his head to Oda's ear and said.
"Maybe." Oda originally wanted to deal with Ikuta as usual, but her mind suddenly flashed through various so-called hidden rules news that she had occasionally browsed before, and then turned to look at Ikuta who looked innocent.
Oda suddenly had some bad thoughts in his mind.
So she put her head close to Ikuta's ear: "Ikuta-chan, if the director invites you to do something, remember to refuse it immediately!"
"Ah, why?" Ikuta looked confused, "Will Mr. Nan do anything else to me?"
"... Anyway, just refuse, remember!" Oda didn't know how to explain this to Ikuta, so he had to give orders to the curious baby Ikuta in an unquestionable tone.
"Hey, Ikuta, Oda, what are you two talking about?" Nanxiang was talking about the things to pay attention to with his brows. When he looked up, he saw two girls sitting in the first row whispering to each other. He couldn't help but feel a little angry, "Ikuta-san.
, please repeat the precautions I just mentioned."
"Go back today and rest early to adjust your condition?" Although he didn't hear a word, Ikuta still looked confident.
"Don't be late!" Nanxiang said angrily with his hands on his waist.
"Oh..." Ikuta lowered his head, pretending to be a good baby. Oda couldn't help laughing when he saw Ikuta's "Lightspeed Face Changing" stunt, but was glared at by Nango, so he had to lower his head to hold it in.
Smile and act like a good baby.
...
The first thing to be done on the second day was the PV shooting of "Surrounded by Curtains". The shooting location was a high school in Tokyo. Since it was a holiday, the school agreed to enter the class for the shooting.
The content of this song is about friendship between girls, so during the filming, the director also hoped that the members could show the naturalness and intimacy of getting along with classmates. But this was a problem for Oda, although he and his classmates
Most of the classmates in the school had "pretty good" relationships, but Oda didn't know how to express the intimacy between girls. So she sat in the middle and rear of the classroom by the window as usual, holding a
Read a book.
Later, shots were taken of the members' intimate interactions. It's unclear whether it was a coincidence or the crew's malice. Oda was assigned to the group with Ko Asuka.
Both of them were unsociable in school, and neither knew how to express the so-called intimacy.
"Just follow your usual way of getting along." The director couldn't help but say when he saw Oda and Ko Asuka rolling around in the curtains with stiff faces.
"In terms of the usual way of getting along..." Oda thought for a moment, whispered to Xiao Asuka for a while, and then made an "OK" gesture to the director.
Oda was still sitting in the seat by the window reading, and the light shone through the gauze curtains onto the pages of the book, creating a hazy halo. Xiao Asuka moved a chair and sat next to Oda, resting his head on it.
Oda also read the contents of the book over his shoulder.
Not long after, Little Asuka's eyes slowly closed and her body softened. At this time, Oda felt the state of the girl leaning on his shoulder and turned his head to stare at Little Asuka dozing off.
On his face, he smiled softly. At this moment, the curtains billowed up, just enough to cover Oda and Ko Asuka.
"cut!"
As soon as he heard the director's voice, the little Asuka bounced his head off Oda's shoulder as if touching a spring, and his round little face turned a little red.
"Xiaoichi, what you think... is so embarrassing." Thinking of the performance he just performed, Xiao Asuka covered his face with his hands and jumped in place, obviously very shy.
After that, everyone took some shots that Oda himself found very strange, such as all the members holding tables and chairs in circles in the classroom, or a member standing on the table dancing while others cheered around her... Oda
I didn’t understand the meaning of these shots, nor how to use these shots to show the so-called “intimate feeling”. I just followed the director’s instructions and followed everyone to shoot in an orderly manner.
Surprisingly, this PV shooting was completed half an hour earlier than expected. Most of the shots were daily content, so they were all shot once.
In the afternoon, the shooting of "Nogizaka Poetry" was even faster, with only dance scenes plus some sports activity shots.
By the way, there was a scene where the members were wearing baggy white vests, which made Oda's bad thoughts worse yesterday.
After the day's shooting mission ended, probably because the girls' performance exceeded expectations, Nango had a rare opportunity to let all the members get off work early, and Oda and Nishino also had a rare opportunity to walk home together.
Since the selected members have to participate in single rehearsals and some odd jobs, their off-duty time is much later than other members. Oda is also one of the most important Seven Gods of Luck, so he works extra hard. After the New Year This is the first time they have gone home from get off work together.
"Does this count as our debut?" Nishino stretched out a hand toward the sky and looked at the slightly darkened sky through the gap between his fingers.
"Probably." Seeing Nishino's movements, Oda also extended his hand and looked at the sky in the same way.
"How should I put it? There is always an incredible feeling." For Nishino, these six months of idol career were something she had never imagined before: the first time she sang and danced, the first time on a TV show, the first time with others.
Serious competition... and now, the first PV shooting.
"How was the filming today? I remember Na-chan, you seemed to be in a group with Rotty."
"I thought the atmosphere would be more tense." Recalling the scene during the filming, Nishino couldn't help but chuckle, "It turned out to be just the first time. The director is such a gentle and kind person."
"No, Na-chan, you must be careful about that director." After hearing Nishino's words, Oda turned around reflexively, grabbed Nishino's shoulders with both hands, and forced her to turn around, "He is very dangerous!"
"Ah...oh." Nishino's face turned a little red.
"By the way, Na-chan, didn't you give Rotty a piece of paper? What's on it?" Oda also realized that something was wrong with his actions, and quickly let go of his hand and forcefully changed the subject.
"It's a bean-like adult." Nishino would become very excited when he mentioned Bean-like, "When I went out in the morning, I drew a bean-like adult on paper and put it in my pocket as a stand-in, and it came in handy.
"
"Is it like a sitting bean?" Oda also knew something about this god created by Nishino himself.
"No, it's Dou Yiyi who is dancing." Nishino's eyes sparkled, "Because I'm not going to dance today, so I hope Dou Yiyi will bless me."
"That's great. I also want to be protected by an adult like You Dou." Seeing Nishino's excited look, Oda was too embarrassed to interrupt the topic.
"Really?"
——
So the next day, Oda also had a dancing bean in his pocket.
