The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

The members stood on the stage, with the lights on the stands shining down, and their purple singing uniforms looked particularly soft.

After the usual thanks, it was the captain Sakurai Reika's turn to speak. The girl was also very upbeat. Although she said she secretly wrote a cheat sheet in her hand because she was worried about not remembering what she was going to say, she couldn't even read it during the official moment.

Without even looking at it, he spoke the entire speech perfectly and reliably, without any trace of his usual exhaustion.

"...Thank you all. Today's live is a commemorative live for the first anniversary of our Nogizaka46 debut. It is also the most ambitious live we have held so far. It is satisfying to be able to go so far and hold such a live.

Live, seeing such a beautiful scenery depends entirely on everyone’s support.”

"It's only been one year now, and there are still many immature aspects. We have only experienced one year, and there are still many things that we have not experienced before, and we will face many unknown challenges. So after entering the second year,

We will learn from the experience of this year and strive to become a cuter and more shining group with the goal of making fans want to support us. Please continue to support Nogizaka46 who is climbing step by step in the future. Thank you all -

—”

The applause from the audience was deafening. After bowing deeply, the girls continued.

"The arrangement and rehearsal of the entire live show was very hard. The results we have today are the result of the joint efforts of all the members and staff. I would also like to thank them here. If it weren't for them who have always encouraged us and helped us solve our doubts,

We asked a lot of questions and provided a lot of help, but we can’t present such a performance to you today. Everyone... did you enjoy watching it today?"

"happy!"

The enthusiastic response seemed to lift the ceiling. It was more than just happy, it was simply a surprise! Today’s unusual live almost made fans who have always liked this idol group almost think they were dreaming.

, the performance in all aspects is impeccable!

The members were also very happy, looking at each other with smiles on their faces. Many people's bangs on their foreheads were soaked with sweat and were sticky, but they didn't look tired and embarrassed at all. After all, today's live was more than satisfying.

It's the audience. As performers, they are equally happy. They are not just enjoying it.

Eyes watching the rays of light under the stage, ears listening to the endless gentle cheers, this feeling will be unforgettable once you see it once.

Several members even couldn't help but cry after leaving the stage. They hugged each other backstage. It wasn't because they were nervous... Maybe there was some in this aspect, but it was mainly because they were too emotional. Even though they are always known for their calmness

A certain Hokkaido girl's eyes were also moist when she was singing the song "Coldness" alone and looking at the continuous sea of ​​green below.

Because this is a scene only for her. As long as she stands here and looks at such a magnificent scenery, her body seems to have infinite power. An ordinary name, Hashimoto Nanami, can also become

Unforgettable.

It’s just that I don’t know how many times I will have the opportunity to see this kind of scenery. How will I feel the last time? Maybe I will still be reluctant to leave it——

"Thank you everyone."

Sakurai Reika bowed again and continued to speak according to the established process, but she couldn't help but feel nervous: "In addition, I would also like to thank the person in charge of this live, the chief director Bai Yunshan-san. This live

The overall design, including song arrangements, and the creation of new songs are also all done by him. He can also be regarded as the teacher of all our members. In the next encore, he will also join us and perform for everyone -

—”

"oh--"

As soon as these words came out, most of the fans in the audience didn't have any other reaction, they just cheered with joy. After all, most fans who really like this idol group also know this name. They often see it in the arrangement without mentioning it.

A lot of news comes out from time to time. Even the movie "Rurouni Kenshin" that had its premiere some time ago has his name on it, and he is also the starring role——

To a certain extent, because of the accumulation over the past year, this guy's reputation is even better than Nogizaka46... After all, there are so many idol groups, and AKB alone has a lot of sub-groups, but

It’s rare to see a male protagonist in a movie that can shock and praise almost all media and magazines. Especially since this guy has a wide range of skills and is proficient in acting and writing songs, it’s even easier for people to notice him...

But I was just happy. I regarded this as a rare interaction, but didn't think of anything. However, many people at the relationship table were all excited. It was obvious that they had known something before, especially Mr. Ito.

, after hearing this, he immediately straightened his back, as if he had been looking forward to it for a long time.

I only heard the girl continue: "In addition, there is another candidate who will appear next... I will keep this secret for everyone, or wait for everyone to see it later. I can only guarantee that it will be a surprise! Today

It is really a joy to be able to perform with this senior! I believe that after watching the live, everyone will have the same thoughts as me——"

“Then next, please listen to our fifth single, which will be released on March 13th - "Kun no Name No Hope"."

As soon as the words fell, the members' expressions also condensed, and they stood still in an instant.

The lights gradually dimmed, and the sound in the venue suddenly became quiet. With all the surprises ahead, at this moment, everyone at the scene was subconsciously holding their breath and concentrating, staring at the stage with their ears pricked up, and their expectations were high.

, eagerly looking forward to the next performance.

Fortunately, the silence did not last too long. The next second, the crisp sound of piano sounded in the venue.

The sound was soft and long-lasting, like a stream gurgling across the keys. Only this hand revealed his skills. Many audience members couldn't help but listen carefully and refused to let go of any detail. Some of them were puzzled as to how they felt about this playing.

Is the piano player the same as the one who played the adapted version of Overture at the beginning?

However, he soon had no time to wonder, because as the sound of the piano sounded, a beam of light also shot down from the stage support, hitting the piano next to the stage.

There, a man in a suit with gray hair was playing the piano calmly, his fingertips as gentle as touching virgin skin.

As the camera zoomed in, the playing face also appeared on the screen behind the stage. The next moment, almost everyone was stunned!

"How is that possible! I must be dreaming!"

"I-I saw it right, right? It's... it's Sakamoto-san!"

"Sakamoto-san? Which Sakamoto-san?"

Some people didn't react for a while, but the next second they were patted by their companions, and they said excitedly: "Who else is Sakamoto-san? Sakamoto Ryuichi!"

Ryuichi Sakamoto!

The resoundingness of this name is really outstanding! In the entire music circle, no, I should say the entire Neon, there are probably not many people who don’t know this name!

As a well-known composer, music producer, singer, actor, pianist... his status can no longer be defined by ordinary musicians. Even Hisaishi Joe, who is equally famous in the industry, is a world-class top musician.

In front of the master, I have to be a little inferior!

But for such an incredible big shot, he actually appeared in an idol group's first anniversary live, and personally went on stage to play the accompaniment as an encore. If this were told, I'm afraid it would only be regarded as a dream!

Many people even doubted whether they were really dreaming? The whole previous live was really unexpected, and the excitement was simply unimaginable. In addition, Ryuichi Sakamoto appeared as a surprise, and it felt like it was just a dream.

Can it be explained by dreaming? But they soon denied this guess. In addition to pinching it hard, it was also because even if they were dreaming, they could not dream of such a wonderful live!

Even Yoshio Konno, who was sitting at the top of the auditorium and had been surprised by this live more than once before, was also shocked at this time! He was so stunned that he really couldn't believe his eyes and the people around him.

Chuan Jingai looked at each other, and after being stunned for several seconds, he choked out a sentence with great difficulty.

"This is too exaggerated!"

If the previous live was exciting, but it could be said that a certain young man is really a genius, with first-class ideas and creativity, and his own level is strong enough, so he can achieve the amazing effect before. Then now, even

Having invited someone as famous as Ryuichi Sakamoto, it’s really hard to figure out what to say——

After all, how long has it been since the last time this big shot appeared at a live show, or played the piano in person on stage in this surprise form?

It would be extremely difficult for the entire Nogizaka46 operations team, even with Mr. Akimoto, to recruit this ceiling star. But now, a young man has done it, and it was just a game ago

In the first anniversary live, which is not even a big news, I was responsible for playing the accompaniment...

This series of words combined can be used as the headline of tomorrow's news——

In fact, they were not the only ones thinking this. The media in the audience were also shocked and couldn't help but have this idea running through their minds.

Some reacted quickly. After quickly finding the right angle and pressing the shutter, they immediately took out pen and paper and started to prepare a new draft. Without even thinking about it, Sakamoto Ryuichi's appearance in such a live broadcast was absolutely amazing.

Will be the headlines tomorrow!

But soon, they stopped what they were doing, and looked at the stage with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open, as if they were petrified from too much surprise, and they didn't move for a long time.

Because another light on the stage was turned off.

The figure of a young man also wearing a suit appeared in the light, and he started his performance there.
