"Then, members, please go backstage and take a rest. We will soon start recording the three single selections." In fact, Oda had expected it when he saw the number of people who came to record the show today, but this time three
The single selection didn't have much to do with her, so she came to the recording with a bystander attitude.
This time, the program organizer arranged for Oda to be at the edge of the third row - because Oda would announce on her blog two days before the show that she would not participate in this selection, so this recording was not suitable for her.
Just going through the motions.
If you are involved in it, you will naturally become nervous for no reason; but when you completely relax and stay out of it, then this selection recording will be a completely different experience for Oda.
The word selection is so important to this group of girls, especially to those members of the under group. It is precisely because they have experienced the days of not having any work but watching their peers busy every day, that they are particularly interested in this opportunity.
cherish.
The announcement of the selection list for this period was not held in the room filled with the bitter tears of the girls, but in the studio. The venue that brought laughter to the girls not long ago was like a mask-changing venue.
Like a god of death, it showed its true ferocious appearance to the girls.
"Some of you may never be on this stage again." This is what it said to the selected members.
"Cherish this half hour, most of you will continue to sit on the bench in the future anyway." This is what the members of under heard.
The camera shot at the members over and over again, from left to right, from right to left, like a black hole, absorbing everyone's attention without any light.
"Then it begins." This time, Banana Man did not hesitate to start after announcing the single position, and seemed to want the members to get out of this sea of misery as soon as possible.
"The announcement has begun. First of all, the first selection member is..." The person who came to announce the selection list this time was a female host. When she heard her name, although she was not very kind, Oda still laughed out loud.
——Sayuri Shiraishi, why don't you call me Inoue Mai. But it was a bit embarrassing to cover your mouth and laugh when everyone was nervous, so Oda quickly suppressed his smile and sat upright with his hands on his thighs.
"Nishino Nanase" Nishino was called and looked around blankly. Amidst the applause, she walked down the seat with small steps and came to the front of the stage.
The position "No. 9" is the position of the God of Fortune.
Nishino was a little shocked when she heard her position. Tears instantly flowed down, but a smile appeared on her face. At the first moment, she turned her attention to the familiar girl sitting in the corner of the stage, just as she expected
Like that, the girl was looking at her seriously, and Nishino could see the joy from her heart in her eyes.
So, Nishino choked up and expressed his feelings: "I didn't enter the selection team during the first single, and I was only among the nine people in the back row for the second single. If it's still like this for the third single, maybe I didn't work hard enough...
." At this point, Nishino couldn't speak any more. He covered his mouth and tried his best to prevent his crying from coming out.
Shitara and Himura also noticed her situation and used gentle voices to guide her to the selection seat on the other side and sit in her ninth seat. Although the chairs on both sides were of the same type, the scenery on both sides was also completely symmetrical.
Yes, but the feeling of sitting on this chair is completely different. This sense of security, peace of mind and joy is something Nishino has never experienced before.
Nishino doesn't know where his joy comes from. Is it because he entered the selection or became a lucky god? Nishino thinks it is, but not entirely.
Her eyes involuntarily drifted to the girl in uniform sitting opposite her, the person she had always admired. She seemed to have noticed Nishino looking at her, Oda raised his eyebrows at her, and then secretly
A thumbs up.
"Really, it's such an important occasion..." Oda's secret thumbs up made Nishino burst into laughter. Seeing Oda's smile, Nishino probably understood why he had this kind of inner feeling.
A spontaneous joy.
Probably because I finally caught up with her.
Although it cannot be said that they are equal to her in terms of abilities and other aspects, at least both of them have become gods of good fortune.
"Marika Ito, No. 15." While Nishino was staring at Oda in confusion, the list of next selection members was also announced. Oda also turned his head to Ito, who was sitting next to him, and applauded her for entering the selection.
"I have never entered the selection, and I always feel sorry for the fans who cheered for me, but this time I entered..." Ito made a declaration of selection on the stage with tears in her eyes, but Nishino didn't listen at all. Her attention was all
Focusing on the hand that Ito showed when he stood up. Knowing that Ito and Oda are musical acquaintances, Oda held Ito's hand just to relax her, but...
.
Why do I feel so uncomfortable in my heart?
With this in mind, Ito also gave his selection speech and sat down in his own selection seat. No. 15, which happened to be behind Nishino's No. 9.
"Na-chan, please give me your advice on the next work." After calming down some of his emotions, Ito whispered softly in Nishino's ear with a sobbing voice.
"Ah... um." Nishino was stunned for a moment, then turned around and gave Ito a not-so-bright smile.
Mai Fukawa, Reika Sakurai, Minami Hoshino... names rang out in the studio one by one, and every name rang out made the other members feel even more depressed.
"Next, the last person, Nakata Hana." There was no foreshadowing, and no prolongation of the rhythm for the effect of the program. The name of the last selected member was announced in a plain manner. Nakata covered his mouth and jumped towards the center of the stage.
, forming a strong contrast with the girls behind her who were clapping absentmindedly.
"Well, the remaining members, don't be discouraged, keep moving forward and keep working hard. Some people may think that I have been working hard, but please be patient and can only keep moving forward and keep working hard." This time Banana Man did not
They did not deal with it with explanations full of flaws like when the first two singles announced the selection of members, but nakedly showed the reality in front of these sad girls. The young Xiao Feiniao was already crying so hard that the recording was not over yet.
When she was young, he threw his whole face into Oda's arms. Oda didn't pay attention to her behavior, nor did he say anything to comfort her. He just gently touched her hair, like a mother stroking a frustrated person.
The same as the children.
Indeed, facing such a predicament, all they can do is keep working hard.
