Nogizaka's Synchronized Coincidence

Chapter 76
In the quiet ward, Rokuhei Naomasa, who played the role of the patient, was sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed, and Aoi Kurokawa, who played the role of the nurse, was closing the thick curtains, while Ryoko Yonekura, who played the role of the doctor Michiko Daimon, silently opened the curtains. The door of the ward, turned around and looked at Liuping-sang on the bed for a few seconds, and then slowly closed the door.

"Cut! Check screen"

Director Naoki Tamura's call made everyone on the field stand by, and they could quickly start over if they needed to do it again.

"No problem, OK! Then, Kurokawa Aoi-san, who played the role of nurse Kato Mika, completed all the filming work and officially wrapped up today. Thank you for your hard work!"

Director Tamura's words made other members of the crew applaud Kurokawa Aoi together, and Ryoko Yonekura came to her with a bouquet of flowers and handed them to her.

"Thank you, Yonekura-san! Thank you everyone! It is my honor to be able to participate in this drama and work with so many outstanding actors and crew members. Everyone has worked hard!"

Aoi Kurokawa, who took the flowers, first hugged Ryoko Yonekura, and then said a few words at the director's request, and her filming work in "Doctor-X" officially ended.

"I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future, Kurokawa, you have great potential, please work hard!"

Patting Aoi Kurokawa on the shoulder, Ryoko Yonekura left an encouraging word and rushed to prepare for the next set of shots.

Nodding to thank the staff along the way, Aoi Kurokawa came to the locker room with a bouquet.

"I don't know if there will be a chance to wear nurse uniforms in the future."

Kurokawa Aoi, who was changing clothes, took off the nurse uniform with a trace of reluctance, when a pair of slender hands appeared silently behind her.

"Kwai sauce!"

"Ah! Uchida-san, good afternoon"

Embracing Kurokawa Aoi's slender waist, feeling the delicate and tender skin, Uchida Yuki said with reluctance: "I told you to call me Miss Yuki! Is the Aoi sauce ready? See you later." It's not you anymore!"

In fact, Uchida Yuki, who is already in her 30s, gives Aoi the impression that she is a young lady who is only a little older than her, and she will play coquettishly with her from time to time when she meets her.

"Miss Youji, don't you have my Line number? You can contact me when you have time, and you can come out for dinner, coffee, and anything else when you are free."

Kurokawa Aoi is also a little bit reluctant for this sister Yuki who is very kind and friendly to her.

"Then it's settled, why can't you refuse me when I find you! Let my sister take you to have a good drink"

Let go of Aoi, Yuki Uchida began to change into her doctor uniform while talking, she still has a lot of scenes to complete, and her work schedule is full for the next six months.But this is also helpless. I chose to get married and retired from the showbiz at will. In the end, I got divorced within a few years. Although the office also worked hard to arrange a job for her, but to catch up with the blank years, I can only use redoubled efforts. to regain popularity.

"Come on, sister Yuji, see you when you're free!"

After changing into her private server and hugging Yuki Uchida goodbye, Aoi Kurokawa officially left the crew.

—————

The month before the release of each new single is the peak period of promotional activities. All kinds of music, live performances, radio broadcasts and magazine interviews, etc., are like waves hitting the shore one after another, in order to increase Any chance to expose Nogizaka46.

On November 11th, today is the fan meeting event of "I will draw a portrait for you". Except for Sakurai Reika who was absent due to an accident, all members attended this event to draw pictures for the 18 fans who were lucky enough to pass the draw portraiture.

And this day is also the last activity of Iwase Yumiko as a member of Nogizaka46.

Before the event started, Ms. Iwase shared her feelings with the members and fans, from joining Nogizaka through the selection to graduating now, her mental journey and future goals and so on.

There is already time for psychological preparation and buffering. Although the members are reluctant, today everyone decided to send off their eldest sister with a smile.

The fans present took the portraits drawn by the members, and two of them were lucky enough to get Yumiko Iwase, as the last painting of the members of Nogizaka46. Today’s meeting was completed after the members and fans applauded and sent off Ms. Iwase Finish.

—————

Two weeks later, the dance practice room of the SME Nogizaka Building.

"That's all for today. Please keep your position in mind and pay attention to the movements of other members at any time, and cooperate accordingly. The day after tomorrow is the official performance. Tomorrow we will do the final rehearsal and adjustments. Everyone has worked hard!"

After the choreographer reminded the members, he announced that today's rehearsal time was officially over, and the members also relaxed to rest and drink water.

"It's just "Come on Shampoo" or a condensed version, no matter how much you rehearse, you can't play any flowers, right?"

Hana Nakata whispered to Naruyoshi Miyazawa next to her in a bad tone, since she was sent to under after being sent to the under after the four singles selection, she was full of resentment. It will allow her to fully recover from the disappointment of her first defeat after entering the selection for three consecutive singles.

Sitting on the other side of Nakata, Hatake Kiyora, who has only been selected once so far, said: "In the final analysis, this time is to perform live at the "FNS Gayo Festival". It is understandable to strive for perfection!"

Maybe it was because Qingtang didn't expect to say such a well-founded statement, and at the same time, she just used the topic to vent her anger a little bit, Nakata Hanai suddenly lost her temper.

"This is a rare opportunity to appear on camera, no matter what, we must work hard to grasp it"

Naruyoshi Miyazawa, who has been in the under team for a long time, knows very well that every opportunity to appear on camera is precious, especially in this kind of program that faces a national audience, even if it is only a second or two, it is a great gift.

After hearing this, Hua Nai also sighed weakly. As an idol nerd, she certainly knows how cruel the struggle in this idol warring state is. Not to mention the competition between different groups, it is in the same organization, for the sake of With the limited selection positions, no matter how close the members are, their attitudes towards each other will become subtle when the selection is approaching.

"Or, is she the only one who can face all this as if nothing had happened? That's right, she doesn't want to be here at all! She is born to be the focus of everyone's attention, even if she is not at the forefront, she can automatically attract others' attention, right?"

Looking at Aoi Kurokawa sitting next to Mai Shiraishi, Nakata Hana knew that with her appearance and ability, she was lucky to have her own seat in the talented Nogizaka 46. There should not be too many members who are strong in all aspects.

"Maybe it's time to seek change and go beyond yourself"

Nakata Hana made a decision in her heart.

The door of the dance practice room opened after being knocked twice, and Yoshio Konno and two managers walked in slowly.

"good afternoon!"

The members stood up quickly, and under the leadership of Lingxiang, they greeted Konno and the others.

"Good afternoon, I have something to announce to everyone"

After nodding in response, Yoshio Konno saw that everyone's eyes were on him and said: "The operation has decided to officially start the recruitment of second-term students on December 12th, and the public announcement will be made on Nogizaka17's official website later. upload"

The audience was silent, and fragmented applause broke out after a few seconds, but it was obviously difficult to digest the news for a while, and they just responded instinctively. Of course, Aoi Kurokawa, who knew about it early in the morning, was not among them.

For the reaction of the members, Yoshio Konno had already expected it, so after giving a slap, it was time to give a sweet date.

"In addition, Nogizaka46 will cooperate with Johnny & Associates to film a TV series in the spring of next year. Many of our members will play roles in it. The detailed arrangement will be explained by your agent and everyone later."

"Wow, Si Guoyi!"

"Is it true? Is it true?"

"What should I do? Do you want to film a drama with a boy? Thinking about it, I feel uncomfortable"

"It's okay, Lingxiang! You'll get used to it after a while, why don't you let Yueyue play with you first, and get acquainted with how to get along with the opposite sex"

"I'm a woman!!"

The girls chattered and chattered endlessly, which was very different from the reaction to the second-term recruiting plan just now.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet! There is another news to announce to everyone"

When the girls calmed down, Yoshio Konno continued: "The last piece of news is that Nogizaka46 will cooperate with Nippon TV to produce a titled program, which is a leisure information program and is expected to premiere in March next year. I intend to have Kurokawa Aoi as one of the chief hosts, and will participate in the program production team as a production committee member. Then, please Kurokawa tell everyone a few words."

This is one of the agreements between Aoi Kurokawa and Yoshio Konno. She is willing to be the leader, so that whether it is selection or under, or even the second-term students who are about to appear, besides the selection position of the single, she will bring Other outlets and opportunities, keep that little hope.

"Thank you for the operation and Nippon TV's trust. Let me be one of the hosts and producers. Here I would like to ask everyone, and I hope you will bring this news to other members. If the members have any ideas or Proposal, if there are any projects and things you want to try, please come and discuss with me, I will bring these ideas and suggestions back to the program production team for discussion, and the suggestions that are successfully accepted will be fully participated in the production and shooting of the project by the member .There is one more thing I want to tell everyone, the broadcast time of this program is Sunday afternoon!"

After listening to Aoi Kurokawa's narration, the eyes of the members lit up. They have the opportunity to be photographed in "Where is Nogizaka?" from time to time, but the broadcast time of the program is always in the middle of the night and early morning, most of the time to watch All of them are fans and idol nerds.

And the broadcast time of the new program is Sunday afternoon, which is one of the times when the most family viewers watch TV programs. Many people who don’t pay attention to Nogizaka46 or idol girl groups know them and start to pay attention to them. It is very likely that their recognition outside the village will be greatly improved by then.

The crackling applause sounded fiercely, and each member fantasized that his figure could appear on the TV screen, so that his family and friends could see it.

"I've finished what I want to say, and I won't repeat the redundant words. As long as everyone can work together to inject momentum into Nogizaka 46 and continue to rise, you will definitely see more beautiful scenery."

More chicken soup for the soul is not as good as the opportunities that are within reach, so on the day of the "FNS Song Festival", with the desire and enthusiasm for the future prospects, the girls of Nogizaka 46 performed in hundreds of singers and groups In the show, they showed their energetic and sweet smiles and cute and lively dances to millions of viewers in front of the TV screens.

Among various activities and schedules, no matter how busy I am, the recording of "Where's Nogizaka?" must be completed.

So today they appeared in the lounge of the recording studio, waiting for the last recording of this year, but after knowing that all members were arranged to be present today, everyone knew what was going to happen.

According to the shooting process, they have to complete three plans today, plus the recording of the singing. The first thing is to carry out a new link in the studio, singing classic songs from different eras in groups. This time it is about Christmas in the 90s. Miscellaneous Skewer Songs.

The next step is to record the Christmas special project, which is to play the location VTR that they took a few days ago, watching the girls put on cute Christmas costumes, and secretly go to different places to give surprises to the children.

Of course, the families who can be selected for shooting are all their little fans. Looking at the innocent smiles of those cute children, they were moved to tears because they were surprised by their sudden appearance, and interacted with the members The happiness during this time clearly proves that no matter what it is, it is an invariable law that dolls should grasp it, and cultivating fans must start from an early age.

The recording of this part was done in a relaxed atmosphere, and it didn't take long to complete the shooting of this episode.

Then the director said: "Now please follow AD to another shooting location"

Perhaps feeling the cruel fate he was about to face, the petite Saito Asuka took Kurokawa Aoi's hand, trying to find some comfort.

Feeling a little sad for this little bird, Kurokawa Aoi gently caressed her tiny head. No matter what she said at the moment, she seemed weak, and all she could do was to accompany each other to face it together.

According to AD-san's instructions, they came to a room similar to a conference room, and the members of Under had already sat on chairs and waited for their arrival.

The chairs are arranged in four rows according to the number of all members. The members of the under are seated in the last two rows. Sitting in the first row as a matter of course.

After a few minutes of preparation, the photographers and production staff took their positions, and the members also chatted with each other while waiting to relieve the feeling of depression.

"Everyone at Nogizaka46, good morning!"

They were startled by a sudden male voice falling from the sky, but they still greeted and answered politely.

"The reason why we called everyone together today is for this!"

The scholar-bureaucrats at the scene removed a piece of black cloth to reveal the things hidden behind the cloth.

"Nogizaka46 [-]th Single Selection Member Announcement Venue"

When the banner with these words appeared in front of my eyes, even if I had already guessed it, but when I really had to face this fact, the members could not help but react with dissatisfaction and resistance.

"Ah~ no!"

"Don't"

"Woo~"

Maimo closed his eyes with a horrible expression, and then buried his head in the arms of Aoi Kurokawa beside him.

Even Kurokawa Aoi pouted and complained in a voice that only she could hear: "Really! We can't let us spend Christmas and New Year in peace."

Dissatisfaction belongs to dissatisfaction, and they can only accept the decision of operation.

"Then let me explain to you how to announce the selection of members. There are three announcement venues this time. The first is the waiting room where you are, and the room connected to this is the announcement room. There are cards with the names of all the members in it. , when you open it and find that there is a queue number written on it, it means that you have entered the selection. If it is blank, then it is a pity that you were not selected, and the members who entered the selection will be transferred to the new selection room."

"There is no order to go to the announcement room. Members are asked to decide when to be selected. The counter in front of everyone shows the balance of the number of selected members. When the number becomes zero, it means that the selection is over."

"Now, if you want to confirm whether you are selected as a member, please go to the announcement room next to it"

Rather than letting the members passively accept the unfathomable fate, the operation and program production team chose to let them personally uncover the answer and accept the fact that it may bring them down. The courage required for this is more than that. Sitting and accepting fate is even more uncomfortable.

For a moment, the girls in the room had different postures, some covered their faces with their hands, some stared straight ahead with blank eyes, and most of them pressed their lips tightly to suppress the tears that were about to burst out.

There was only one person, who remained unmoved by the ancient well, and it was this one who calmly stood up when everyone was still struggling in their hearts, and walked firmly to the room where the announcement was made step by step.

In Kurokawa Aoi's dictionary, there has never been the word "escape". Whether it is life or death, good or bad, she will always choose to face it directly, because it is much stronger than the fear brought about by the unknown, isn't it?
After closing the door behind him, he found a card with his name on the long table, and opened it without any hesitation.

"7"

Follow the instructions to show the numbered side of the card on your hand to the camera, and begin to give your acceptance speech.

"Thank you for the trust of the management and the support of the fans. Being able to enter the selection and get the position of the God of Fortune, I don't think it means that I am better than other members, because I know that many members who did not enter the selection were rejected by me. Be more talented and work harder. But since this opportunity has come to me, I will definitely do my best to let more people know about Nogizaka46, so that we can move forward with one heart and one mind!"

After finally bowing to the camera and thanking the camera, he followed the instructions of the scholar-bureaucrat to another room with 17 chairs, each with a card with a different number.

Kurokawa Aoi found the one that belonged to her and sat down, silently guessing who would enter the room next and how long she would have to wait.

—————

When the members watched the back of Kurokawa Aoi disappear before their eyes as they walked into the presentation room with the aura of death, the male voice that descended from the sky sounded again after a short while.

"Kurokawa-san's result is out"

As the sound fell, the number displayed on the counter changed from "17" to "16" after a flash

Everyone slowly reacted, one by two and then more members applauded, and the room returned to silence after a while.

"The next one please"

As the male voice sounded again, Rina Ikoma's eyes became firm and she left her seat.
—————

Kurokawa Aoi, who was resting with her eyes closed, heard the sound of the door lock turning, opened her eyes and saw Ikkuma who opened the door, smiled and stood up to greet her with open arms.

"Wooooow, Aoi sauce~"

Ikoma Rina, who buried her head in Kurokawa Aoi's arms, never stopped the tears in her eyes. No matter how strong the surface was, she was pushed to the center position again and again, bearing the burden of the far away It is very rare to be able to keep from breaking down the responsibilities and pressures that she should bear at her age.

"Cry, it doesn't matter, we will be by your side, you are not and should not have to bear all this alone, Ikkuma-chan has done a good job, better than everyone expected"

Kurokawa Aoi's comfort, coupled with having experienced this kind of mental shock several times, made Rina Ikoma calm down quickly.

"Actually, I know that many people say that I am not worthy of this position. There are many members who are better than me in all aspects. I don't understand why they choose me as the center..."

Facing the self-doubting Ikoma, Aoi Kurokawa patted her on the head.

"Don't underestimate yourself. After more than a year, you can stand upright in the face of these pressures and criticisms. You are much stronger than many people in terms of willpower alone. To know a person's achievements, the most important thing is It’s not about talent and ability, but about mentality and will. Think about the protagonist of the Wang Dao hot-blooded manga, not a weak wretch, but relying on indomitable will and hard work, he has grown and evolved into a hero who is admired by others.”

Thinking of my favorite Uzumaki Naruto, his famous saying: "There is no shortcut to becoming Hokage!", Rina Ikoma's delicate body once again exerted strength, wiped away tears and nodded heavily at Aoi Kurokawa, Sitting firmly on her chair in center 2.

Next, Sayori, Nanamin, and Reika appeared in the room of the selected members one by one. Aoi and Ikoma also hugged and congratulated them.

When the next figure appeared, the other party took the initiative to rush into Kurokawa Aoi's arms, buried his cheek in Aoi's deep valley and swayed from side to side, causing a turbulent wave.

"That's enough, sackcloth, there's still a camera!"

Hashimoto Nanami, who couldn't see it, pulled away Mai Shiraishi, who was still undecided, and pushed her on her own chair.

"Isn't it just a celebration, can't people be happy and excited?"

Mai Shiraishi, who showed her dissatisfaction on her face, saw the video camera in the hands of the photographer in the room, and could only sit down resentfully and stop making trouble.

Followed by Huahua, Yueyue, Hana who returned to the selection, Mai Mai, Xiaonan, Ito Ningning who was selected for the first time, followed
“Salad Zero!!”

Maiyang immediately rushed forward and hugged Yongdao Shengluo who was crying because of excitement.

Everyone in the room flocked to him, patted Shala Zero on the head and shoulders, and comforted him.

"Great!"

"So happy!"

After Kurokawa Aoi touched the head of Nagashima Shengluo, she handed over the tissue to the crying man. She and Mai Xiang said, "That's great, Sala Zero, congratulations!"

"Wooooow, thank you Aoi-chan! I'm so happy, what should I do?"

I have never seen such a Yongdao Shengluo, and everyone burst into laughter.

After a while, Kazumi Takayama with tears in his eyes, Nanase Nishino with tight lips, Matsumoto Akimoto with disbelief and bewilderment on his face, and Sayuri Inoue with a bitter expression of relief, filled in the remaining positions one by one. Full.

In this way, the selected members of the fifth single were announced in the last month of 2012, and it ended in a heartbeat for the members in an unexpected way.
