Nogizaka's Synchronized Coincidence

Chapter 43 Becoming a Qualified Adversary

Since mid-June, Aoi Kurokawa and the others have entered into a high-intensity intensive work schedule again.After two weeks of repeated practice, the songs and dance steps of the three singles finally reached a level that satisfied the instructors.

In two days, Kurokawa Aoi completed the recording of the four songs she participated in, "Rush! Bicycle", "The Impatient Snail", "Why Do People Run?" and "Silent Guitar" .

Just before entering the recording studio, Kurokawa Aoi ran into the little bird. Before the other party noticed her, she quickly approached and hugged the little bird.

"Congratulations! I didn't have the chance to formally congratulate Asuka on being the center before."

When Asuka was startled, he waved his hands up and down like a frightened bird flapping its wings, but when he heard the familiar sound and smell, he immediately relaxed and hugged Aoi's waist with both hands.

"Aoi sauce, you scared me! Also, thank you" Asuka thanked shyly after complaining.

After thinking about it, Asuka added a little depressed: "It can't be regarded as a real C position, it's just a unit song and there is no MV."

Kurokawa Aoi fixed Asuka's head with both hands so that she could meet her gaze and said, "Asuka can't underestimate any opportunity. Many members hope day and night that there is no such opportunity yet."

"I know what you're telling me! I didn't say I wouldn't take this job seriously, Asuka, I will work hard!" Asuka expressed his serious attitude with a serious face.

Aoi nodded in satisfaction, left a lip print on Asuka's forehead, let go of her and said, "Go, I'll take you to play sometime after I'm done working for a while!"

"A date with Aoi-chan? You have to keep your word! Then I'm leaving, see you later." Asuka happily waved goodbye to Aoi, and went to the recording studio to record her song "Island of the Current" for the first time as a C. up.

After the recording of the song is completed, the next step is of course the shooting of the MV and PV.For the MV of the theme single "Rush! Bicycle", a lot of resources have been invested in the operation, and the director Tetsuya Nakajima was hired to direct it with a lot of money.

Aoi Kurokawa didn't know that the expert conceived this MV, but she has a deep understanding of Director Nakajima's professional and rigorous attitude and requirements. I believe that Ichikuma and Yueyue also feel deeply about this. It was really difficult for them to shoot a scene of facial expressions repeatedly for more than an hour.

In this MV, the members have two different sets of singing clothes, both of which are full of the retro style of the 60s. They are brightly colored blue, pink and orange short skirts of three different colors and a green vest, and each member wears them The bob wig and European-style classical makeup make people feel like they are in a psychedelic scene like a disco in the 60s. Aoi Kurokawa sincerely expressed that she couldn't understand.

But work is like this, and it will not change according to personal preferences, unless you are a progression like Mr. Akimoto Yasushi.

Adhering to the good habits of the first two singles, this time is no exception, "Rush! Bicycle" has become the commercial theme song of the drink "Megashaki" of "Good Food".Before this news was released, Aoi Kurokawa was still full of expectations that this song would be used as a commercial song for a certain bicycle brand.

During the filming, the only thing Aoi can have fun with is admiring the amazing outfits of each member. Of course, other members are also doing the same behavior, and everyone feels like participating in a masquerade together.

Wearing these disco costumes from the 60s, after repeating the whole dance step three or four times, they hurriedly changed into another set of slightly more normal costumes, danced a few more times, and the filming was almost complete , but this is only for the selected members, the Fushen have other shooting arrangements.

This time they changed into pajama-like costumes, and they seemed to be frozen in front of the camera. They were asked to maintain their poses and then began to dance. They kept repeating at the request of Director Nakajima, and it took a long time before they were satisfied. After a while, the entire filming work was finally completed.

Then the next day, early in the morning, the members took the bus to a school in the suburbs of Tokyo, where they were going to shoot the MV for "Why Do People Run?"

Thanks to Sony's influence, "Why do people run?" was selected as the official song of the U2012 Women's World Cup held in this country in 20, and "The Courage of the Left Chest" that was released before is also the official support song of J-League. They, Nogizaka, have also formed an indissoluble bond with the football world.

The shooting of the MV is much simpler and more relaxed than "Rush! Bicycle". "Why do people run?" is the official song of the U20 Women's World Cup. Of course, the theme cannot be separated from football. The content of the MV does not have a lot of storytelling, it is a group of students wearing uniforms, integrating football into the daily life of the school.

They were asked to show the feeling of "sunshine", "vigor", "happiness" and so on, and there were a few action shots related to football, of course, they were just pretending in it, and the rest were added by post-production. As for The final result will have to wait until the release of the CD before we can see it.

The day of filming was spent happily and happily. The operation gave them a day off and told them that they would arrange a camping trip at the end of the month. Although there was a job of recording the title team, it was considered a public trip. , making them excited and looking forward to it.

Woke up naturally after sleeping at home, Kurokawa Aoi and Shiraishi Mai didn't go out, and spent a day lazily salting fish at home, until Sayuri, who had just become their neighbor, came to eat, and the three of them ate, drank, chatted and spanked After hugging and sticking together, I drove Sayori back home, and after taking a bath, Aoi and Mai fell asleep hugging each other.

The next morning, Aoi Kurokawa, Mai Shiraishi, and Rina Ikoma, accompanied by her manager's sister, took a nanny car to a recording studio in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Today they were arranged to participate in the "Puzzle Solving Battle TORE ! 2 hours SP".

As guests, they were divided into a group belonging to the singing world, and another group belonging to the performing arts world played against each other.It was Ikkuma who played first, and challenged the general knowledge quiz by looking at the pictures. Although her team passed the first round of questions, when challenging the small iron ball game, Ikuma-chan was nervous and failed within the time limit. It was able to be completed, and was squeezed into a meatloaf by the wall of the props. Aoi and Mai felt sorry for each other and burst out laughing.

Next came Kurokawa Aoi's three-person team, who challenged the "bed house" where the floor kept sloping up.

Kurokawa Aoi's athletic ability and knowledge level surprised others who originally thought that the girl was a hindrance, and their team also succeeded in the challenge perfectly.

The last is the team that Maiyan belongs to. The project they challenge is "Cave House", or a quiz game. Choose the correct answer in the situation of choosing one of three. If you get the right answer, you will be safe, but if you choose the wrong one.
The sound effect of the wrong answer sounded, and the sackclothed face lying on the ground with eyes closed and praying, only had time to say "I'm sorry~", and disappeared in front of the camera after the floor under him opened.

For the rest of the time, the three of them sat in chairs, watching the performances of other participants with great interest and reacting. After most of the day, when the recording ended, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. It's almost five o'clock.

After being sent back to Nakameguro's home, Maimo let his body relax immediately. He took off the obstacles on his body from the entrance and went back to the room. He didn't forget to say to Aoi: "I'm very tired today! Tonight Let's go out to eat, okay?" When he opened the door, only the black lace skin remained on his body, reflecting each other with Ruxue's skin.

Aoi packed up the clothes on the floor and on the sofa like sackcloth, and said angrily: "Can't you go back to the room first and then take off your clothes? How old are you and I need to clean it up for you! Then you want to eat What? Do you want to tell Sayori?"

"Well, I'm used to having you always help me, and shouldn't I be more relaxed and comfortable in my own home? Call Kamisa Yuri and Nana Min, and I'll have ramen for dinner." Mai turned and turned to Aoi road.

"Okay, you get dressed first." Although she has seen it many times and had intimate contact with her, she still feels a little embarrassed by the completely defenseless appearance in front of her in sackcloth.

After hearing this, Mai Xiang deliberately twisted his body in a seductive pose before turning back to the room, and then returned to the room with a smirk like a little devil.

"Damn it!" Aoi's cheeks immediately turned red, and after picking up the sackcloth-like clothes that were randomly thrown away, they put them on the sofa, and went back to the room to change.

In the end, they called Sayori and Nanamin, and they went to eat ramen together.

"The MV recording work with Mayu-san is scheduled for tomorrow morning, right?" Nanamin asked after swallowing the ramen in her mouth.

"Yes, it should take too long. The work for the past two weeks is mainly shooting the MV. Fortunately, apart from tomorrow's "No More Ponytails" co-starring with Mayu-san, only "Silent" is left. "My Guitar" MV and Shihara-san's little finger festival live, you can take a break after finishing it."

The tight schedule makes Kurokawa Aoi and the others exhausted, but as an artist, being too busy with work is a symbol of success, so they still try to face these busy opportunities with a positive attitude.

On the second day, 46 members of Nogizaka16 came to the studio to meet Mayu Watanabe and the filming team.

This is the first time they have collaborated again since the filming of "Fraud Idol". After seeing them, Ma Youyou kept saying "kawaii", especially after seeing Ichikuma sauce.

The content of the MV is not complicated. The main part of the performance is the group dance. After repeated practice with the instructor, the rehearsal performed well and the filming began.

After several hours of hard work, this special "Ma Yuzaka" "No More Double Ponytails" MV was officially filmed. After all the members took a photo with Ma Yuyou and hugged him proactively, they left the recording studio.

The time has come to June 6th, which is also the day when the "First Little Finger Festival Idol Special Meeting" is held at Nippon Budokan. The total participating teams include Nogizaka25, which are ten different idol groups. HKT46 who just moved here, Mayuyou's Corridor Running Team 48, Momoiro Clover Z, etc.

The total number of spectators who entered the venue reached 8 people. For the members of Nogizaka, it can be regarded as the largest audience for a live performance.

According to the arrangement, they became the second group to appear on the stage. After singing "Come on Shampoo" and "Surrounding the Curtain", they had a conversation with the host, Shihara-san, and then left the stage and returned to the lounge.

"When will we be able to hold our own concert here?" Huahua, who likes the stage and singing, naturally feels unsatisfied with the performance of only two songs.

"There will be such a day, and I firmly believe that we won't have to wait too long." Ma Yi said comfortingly with his arms around Hua Hua's shoulders.

"As Lingxiang said on stage just now, our primary goal is to make AKB48 officially regard us as qualified opponents. Let us continue to work hard until we achieve this goal!"

Kurokawa Aoi also enjoyed the feeling of performing on the stage just now, thinking that to have their own live, they must first let more people know them, so they remind other members that they still have a long way to go.

"We will usher in that day, come on! Everyone, come and let's form a circle." At this time, Yikuma sauce, who spoke, really has a bit of a center aura

"Come on, one, two"

"Work hard! Thank you! Smile! We are Nogizaka, Kamigo no Saka 46!!"

The raised hands make people feel the desire and expectation of the girls to climb to a higher place.
