The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

Rina Ikoma is a relatively introverted person.

Her cheerfulness is only shown in front of people she is familiar with or people she likes, such as the three members of the Rising Stars, or people like Nishino Nanase or Shiraishi Mai.

But just like all bananas have a green past, many years ago Ikoma Rina was also a healthy and cheerful child, and she also had her own happy childhood. This silly child from an Akita landowner's family had not yet suffered any suffering in school.

Before she was bullied, she liked to walk on the grass with her brother's puppy, and lie in the cool courtyard in summer. The iced watermelon was so sweet and delicious that she often sat there for an entire afternoon.

But such days have finally passed.

The thumbtacks in the shoes are sharp and cold, enough to pierce the strong heart of any child. Rina Ikoma, who was bullied at school, gradually fell into autism, locked herself in a room, and used comics and animation to escape.

Reality.

This is understandable. After all, she is just an ordinary child. Faced with such dark and painful things, no one at this age can ignore them indifferently. The situation of being bullied and isolated is very scary.

Yes, you know everyone around you, but they don't seem to know you. From time to time they glance at you with sarcasm and ridicule, as if they are looking at a plaything.

A certain Ms. Shiraishi who had her first kiss taken away from her had to face this situation, so that she did not go to school for a long time, and I don’t know if this had something to do with her worsening grades.

They are different from a certain Ms. Qiao who has a tough personality. When faced with this kind of situation, Ms. Qiao usually slaps the other person and then asks the other person to apologize. After all, when she was in school, she showed such behavior to a certain male classmate who did not want to clean during duty hours.

With extraordinary combat value, let alone this kind of bullying.

Although Baiyunshan doesn't know these details, he can also understand Ikoma Rina's character and the pressure she endures.

The countdown to the live show on the 19th has entered. At that time, Rina Ikoma, who is in the center position, will not only have to perform, but also need to stand up and speak on behalf of the entire team. At that time, all eyes and pressure will be concentrated on her alone.

, to be honest, Baiyunshan was worried about whether she could withstand it.

This Akita girl is undoubtedly a very stubborn person. She is not confident, but she does not admit defeat. She also knows the responsibility that she bears on her thin shoulders. After being selected as the center, she can be seen in the dance studio every day

When she saw her, she seemed to be crazy. She worked hard day and night to hone her dancing skills, which shocked both Yoshio Konno and Ai Kawakage who were visiting the class at the time.

It was precisely because of such hard work that when she was filming her debut single PV some time ago, she was able to give her opinions and improve some dance moves when the filming was stuck. After all, these seemingly ordinary ideas were all cultivated day and night.

The result, a simple jumping action, left no idea how much sweat and tears it left, and wet the floor several times.

She knows that she is just an ordinary girl, and even feels a little inferior, but this is what makes her extraordinary.

In terms of voice, she is not as good as Hoshino Minami, who is also a star. Her voice is not so soft and sweet, which can make people feel a strong desire for protection at first hearing. In terms of appearance, she is not as good as that of the girl who is being married.

Mai Shiraishi is said to have the beauty that can change the fate of Nogizaka. Her face is young and unique, but she is not a beauty that can make people shine at a glance.

She can only work hard, and she must work hard.

When she stood up and was announced as Nogizaka46's first single center, countless doubts and abuses poured out like thumbtacks in her shoes. But this time she couldn't put them out and could only endure the heartache and put them on.

Shoes named center, and then gritted one's teeth and persisted, while dancing in these shoes.

Baiyunshan didn't know what to say for a moment.

He looked at the confused 16-year-old Akita girl in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Do you know about the live on the 19th?"

"Um."

"Do you feel any pressure? If you feel any pressure, you can tell me."

The girl was silent for a moment and replied: "I will try my best."

She did not directly answer whether she was under any pressure, but said she would work hard, which was an answer in itself.

"If you feel nervous, you can just say it. I will help you find a way. After all, you will need to speak on behalf of the time. To be honest, I am a little worried about you." Bai Yunshan said bluntly.

Ikoma Rina thought for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I have a way to forget about being nervous."

...

Flowers and thorns are inevitable on the road of idols. For a new idol group, the largest proportion of fans will always be people who originally liked idol culture. Looking at the whole of Japan, such people are undoubtedly concentrated in

In the fan group akb48.

Although you have to withstand a lot of pressure to go there and smash the show, the results are unquestionable. Almost all Japanese idols are staring at it, and Nogizaka46 can appear there and show off their presence. This is simply the best.

Advertising is much more effective than ordinary publicity methods.

The economic benefits brought by publicity are also imaginable. As the first single, it is bound to have a good start, and the sales volume must be high rather than low. So in the long run, if you want the sales of the first order to increase, this time

It can be said that it is imperative to carry out the activities of destroying the scene. As for the members, they will inevitably undergo transformation under pressure. Whether it is good or bad depends on each person's destiny.

Time came to January 19th in a blink of an eye. Backstage at akb48's replay of the best track of all time, 1002012 Live, at the City Hall Theater next to the Tokyo Dome, the Baiyunshan group was waiting.

The members showed varying degrees of nervousness. This was their first time on a live stage, and it was also the stage of a formal opponent. The pressure can be imagined.

Baiyunshan looked thoughtfully at Rina Ikoma in the background. Seeing the girl's eyes looking at him, he nodded with understanding.

Immediately, the two people opened up their formation and looked at each other.

The eyes revealed firmness and unprecedented momentum, as if an invisible wind swept across the entire backstage, attracting the attention of all the members.

"This is......"

"You look so awesome. It's the first time I've seen Baiyun Sang look so serious."

"What are they going to do?"

The melon-eaters looked confused and expectant.

Like fate, like the final battle, the light bulbs on the ceiling hung above the two of them like the dusk of the setting sun, burning the tense atmosphere.

The two men bowed slightly and assumed a charging stance. Their eyes were full of determination, and then they started to rush toward each other at the same time, shouting.

"Sass give it!"

"Then fuck a lot——"

"Sass!!"

"That's a lot of shit——"

“Sass give!!!”

“That’s too much——————”

...

"Bang!"

The members instantly fell into one piece.

Yes, this is the method proposed by Rina Ikoma to forget the tension.

Baiyunshan also couldn't understand why performing the decisive battle between Naruto and Sasuke could make her forget her nervousness, but firstly, it was because the request was not difficult and he could do it easily. Secondly, because he hadn't done this joke for a long time, so

The girl's idea perfectly matched his, so there was no reason to refuse.

Of course, his main purpose is to liven up the atmosphere. After all, being too nervous will affect your performance. He doesn't want the girls to bear too much pressure.

Not far away on the other side, two people were secretly observing and pointing.

"Is that girl with short hair the center of Nogizaka46's debut single?"

"Well, that's right, it seems to be called Ikoma... Ikoma Rina, right?"

"Ikoma Rina? What a cute name!"

"What's wrong? Ma Yuyu, do you like her?"

"Yuki-chan is jealous?"

"That's not true, it's just a casual question." The girl in dance clothes replied, then turned her eyes to the place where she was looking just now, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Who is that man? Is he a senior member of the operations team? Or is it?

Which staff member? What’s going on with such an idiotic move?”

"It is said that he is a new manager hired by Nogizaka. He has some talent in music, but I don't know if it is true."

"Agent? Are all agents like this now? You really have learned a lot!" the girl complained silently.

"Don't worry about that. We don't have time. It's our turn to take the stage."

"clear."
