Chapter 36 Pavilion Festival

After filming the MV, the studio was not in a hurry to push Dan out for release. Both they and Yasushi Akihara agreed that the release time of this single still needs to be carefully considered and strive to be a blockbuster.

At this time, the AKB48□zhishu tour is in full swing across the country.

Starting from August 8th, akb11 will hold national tour concerts in Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka and Dongxing respectively.The concert this time is not that all members of akb48 or selected members will arrive at one place to perform together, but different teams will perform in different places. TeamK is in Osaka, teamB is in Nagoya, and teamA is in Fukuoka.In the final performance in Tokyo, there was

Three shows, two days from the 22nd to the 23rd, with all the members co-starring.

These three performances in Tokyo will be held at the Nippon Budokan. When the members heard the news, they were all happy and crazy.This concert can be regarded as a real concert of akb48.

Since its establishment in 1968, Budokan has held performances by many of the world's top bands and singers, and has also recorded the live album "LiveInBudokan" here. Its name is known all over the world.Therefore, for singers, Budokan has a symbolic meaning of "sacred place" and "highest hall". Being able to perform here is the goal of almost all Japanese singers.

AKB48 will hold three performances in two days here.Moreover, this is the first time akb48 held a concert with more than [-] viewers.Unlike the first concert where all [-] tickets were not sold out, not long after the tickets for this concert officially started to go on sale, more than [-] tickets were sold out.

This news made the AKB staff even more excited.On the day of the rehearsal, all the members were also extremely enthusiastic, requiring every movement to be perfect, and must bring the best audio-visual feast to the audience.

After the song was over, Somesaki Sakura wiped her sweat and walked to the side stage, where the staff was distributing mineral water.However, before she got there, she saw Gao Qiaonan alone with her head raised and muttering something, not knowing what she was doing.

"Xiao Nan." Somesaki Sakura walked over to pat her, "What are you doing?"

Takahashi Nan looked back and saw Somesaki Sakura, she smiled, then pointed to the concert banner that was hung up by the staff just now and said: "I'm watching this. It says 'akb104 selection member group festival' , What does this group of pavilion sacrifices mean?" Gao Qiaonan was puzzled by these few words just now.

She was quite excited about akb48's concert at the Budokan, but just now she saw that the staff wanted to hang up banners and wanted to help, but in the end, she was stumped by the words "group festival", she didn't know Why, she always had some bad premonition in her heart.

When Somezaki Sakura heard Takahashi Nan say the words "Group Festival", her heart skipped a beat. She looked up, and she saw the words "AKB104 Selected Members Group Festival" hanging in the air, and her heart sank immediately.

Gao Qiaonan doesn't know what the meaning of forming a pavilion is, doesn't she know?One of the most famous activities of akb48 in the previous life, all the teams of akb48 were disbanded, the members were dispersed, and then redistributed to form new teams.At the beginning, the operator wanted to disband teamA and teamK to form the "Lily Group" and "Rose Group", but this time, the so-called cabinet formation is even more cruel than before, because the members at this time will only be divided even more. Scattered and more chaotic.

"Sakura sauce? Sakura sauce?" Takahashi Nan's voice awakened Somezaki Sakura from her contemplation. Seeing Somezaki Sakura come back to her senses, Takahashi Nan smiled and said, "Sakura sauce is also wondering if this is the pavilion festival? I don't know." It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't affect our concert." Gao Qiaonan's mood returned to the joy of having a concert.

Somesaki Sakura forced a smile and said, "Yeah, as long as it doesn't affect the concert." Takahashi Nan didn't notice Somesaki Sakura, and took Somesaki Sakura to get some water to drink.

The following rehearsal Somesaki Sakura was always absent-minded, which made Atsushi Maeda a little strange, and couldn't help saying: "What's wrong with Sakura-chan? I feel weird all day today. Besides, not only Sakura-chan, Yugari and the others are also weird." When she said this, other people didn't feel anything, but Somesaki Sakura felt something in her heart, and she couldn't help but look at Sato Yukari.

At this moment, Urano Yomi, Sato Yukari, Obori Kei, and Noro Iadai were together. Somezaki Sakura stared at them for a long time before she was sure that the four of them must have known something in advance, and the expressions of the four of them were not like the others. The members are as happy, but with bitterness.

This made Somesaki Sakura's heart sink even more, which proved that the Zuge Festival was affirmative, not her random thinking.

No matter what Somezaki Sakura thought, the performance went on to the last scene.

Starting with "Cherry Blossom Petals", the video of the first-term training was shown on the big screen, but the bottom was not an empty theater, but an audience of tens of thousands of people waving bright silver light sticks like a starry sky. Many members' eyes were red , and Somesaki Sakura, seeing this situation and thinking of the reality she will face after the performance, almost cried.

In the end, she managed to stop crying when the other members were surprised, and tried her best to keep smiling and continue singing.

"Sakura Petals", "Ten Years of Sakura", "Tears of Surprise! ", after three consecutive songs, entered the first MC time, all members stood on the stage and greeted the audience.

"Hi everyone, we are akb48!"

"Then, the final performance is about to begin." After saying hello, Atsushi Maeda spoke first.

Takahashi Nan was very emotional: "Oh! The performance is finally—" She calmed down and said very reluctantly: "Since yesterday, today makes people feel a little lonely."

"I'm a little lonely, maybe I'll cry." Maeda Atsushi was also a little sad, and when she said it, everyone immediately became a little sad.

"No, no, this is just the beginning." Takahashi Nan hurriedly stopped, but she looked at Somesaki Sakura again and said, "What surprised me the most was that Sakura-chan just cried. I thought I saw it wrong." As soon as she said it, the other members echoed and said that they had seen it too.

Immediately, the audience in the audience let out a voice of "Hey--", obviously everyone didn't believe that Somesaki Sakura was crying.

Somezaki Sakura's image of not crying easily has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After hearing that she cried, everyone couldn't believe it and was moved.Everyone thought that Somesaki Sakura was reluctant to part with this last performance.

When the topic was thrown to herself, Somesaki Sakura had to answer with a smile: "Oh, I couldn't help myself just now. Thinking that this is the last performance, I can't bear to let everyone go." When it came to the last performance, she said It still brought out the sadness, but everyone didn't hear the hidden meaning of this "last scene".

"However, next, I will smile and create the best memories with everyone." Somesaki Sakura said again, these words completely mobilized the atmosphere of the audience below.

In the end, everyone chatted and laughed lively, and after the atmosphere in the venue was thoroughly mobilized, Rinna Matsui led the members of ske48 to the stage.

In this concert, seven members were unable to participate due to influenza A infection, while Matsui Jurina only appeared in yesterday's performance because of physical discomfort.Therefore, ske48 is temporarily led by Matsui Rinnai.

Ske48, teamB, teamK, teamA, MC time, unit track, and finally all members together, according to this time, the performance came to an end with the singing of "Dream Confession".

The members entered the backstage, and the encore sound from the audience outside sounded at the same time. Along with the encore sound, the members in the backstage were happily and busily changing their costumes. At the last moment before going on stage, Somesaki Sakura hugged Takahashi Nan, "Xiao Nan, I hope we can always be together in the future."

"Of course we can stay together forever. What are you talking about?" Takahashi Nan was a little inexplicable, she patted Somesaki Sakura on the shoulder and said with a smile.

The first song of Encore is the new single "maybe is an excuse" that AKB48 will release three days later. Sakura and Takahashi Nan are around her.

Then, "Want to See You", which is very meaningful to all members of akb48, and the last song of farewell, "Cloud Cloud", this song was sung by all members and the audience together at the end, and in the song In the middle of the song, hearing the loud support from all the audience, Somesaki Sakura finally couldn't hold back her emotions, her voice choked up, and she couldn't sing at all.

She wasn't the only one, most of the members around her were also emotional, with red eyes.Everyone was laughing and dancing with the last of their strength, waving the aid towels in their hands vigorously.This concert has different meanings for everyone.

In the end, Atsushi Maeda was giving his final thank-you speech, and Sakura Somesaki pulled Takahashi Kusu to the side without speaking. Takahashi Nan frowned a little. Today’s Somesaki Sakura was too abnormal. It always feels like something bad is going to happen.

After Atsushi Maeda finished his thank you speech, Hina Kojima suddenly said, "As a result, until now, I still don't understand the meaning of akb104's selection of members to form a pavilion festival. Is it just to satisfy everyone's appetite?"

"I think it's just an accidental idea." Minegishi Nan said, she had no idea about this topic, and thought it was just a random word from a staff member.

Even if the staff arranged for her this MC line on the topic, she didn't think much about it, thinking it was just to make everyone happy at the end.The other members echoed her words casually. Obviously, everyone was at a loss when she suddenly brought up this topic.

On the other side, Somesaki Sakura finally couldn't help squatting down and crying.When she cried, everyone was even more confused.At this time, Togazaki Shinobu suddenly came out from the backstage, and everyone was shocked. Some of them, such as Takahashi Kusu, were more sensitive.

It's sinking.

"Hi everyone, I am Shishin Tokazaki, the ruler of the akb theater." Shishin Tokazaki said hello first, and then said something that made everyone puzzled: "The new cabinet of akb48 will be announced immediately."

New cabinet?Not only the audience, but also the members were a little overwhelmed.

Togazaki Shixin continued: "This time, each team introduces the captain system. Various activities are carried out centered on the captain." Appoint the captain, but each team actually already has a default captain.Everyone thought that this time the title of captain was confirmed, but it never occurred to them that not only the captain had changed, but the team members had also changed.

"Next, please face the audience." Everyone did as they said. At this time, a staff member brought up three signs. On the signs, they said, teamA, teamK, and teamB. At this time, there were Members began to feel uneasy.

"Let's announce the captains of each team first. Captain of team A, Gao Qiaonan." This can be said to be well deserved, everyone is congratulating Gao Qiaonan, but Gao Qiaonan seems to know something at this time, and he doesn't like it. Weeping sadly, Sakura Somesaki stopped her tears and comforted Takahashi Nan in turn. Takahashi Nan wiped away her tears and walked aside to take the teamA sign.

"Captain of teamK, Akimoto Caijia." Akimoto Caijia is also someone who everyone admires, but she also frowned and bowed to express her gratitude to everyone.Akimoto only took over the sign indicating teamK.

"Captain of team B, Yuki Kashiwagi." As soon as this sentence came out, it broke the peace of the scene. The default captain of team B has always been Urano Yoshimi, but this time the captain is not her.Even Yuki Kashiwagi didn't think of this, she took the teamB sign with a look of surprise, but couldn't help but look in the direction of the members.

Next, the leader of SDN48, Noro Ieyo. The full name of SDN48 is SaturdayNight48, which means performances starting every Saturday night.This group also belongs to the akb48 group, but it has a sexy style. There are many akb48 graduates or too old akb48 members who will leave akb48 and join SDN48.

Due to style and age restrictions, members of SDN48 do not enter the selection group of akb members, do not participate in the recording of singles, and at the same time, are not bound by the prohibition of dating, and even married young women are allowed to join.

Apparently, this time, for the formation festival, the four of them, Noro Kayo and Urano Yomi, will break away from akb48 and enter SDN48.

From the moment the Nolu family was announced as the captain, most of them already had a bottom line in their hearts.

However, the transfer of the Noro family was not the final "surprise".The real surprise came when Togazaki Shishin announced the start of the first teamA member: "teamA, Yoka Katayama."

In an instant, everyone exclaimed, and the reaction of the audience seemed to explode.Katayama Yang is good.Third-term student, former member of teamB.

And starting from Yoka Katayama, all the members understood the meaning of "Team Pavilion Festival"-"teamK, Reina Fujie; teamB, Ei Kitahara...teamK, Kususu Minegishi...teamA, Haruna Kojima...teamA, Shinoda Mariko; teamK, Itano Yumi..."

One name after another was read out, and the voices of the audience below became more and more surprised and unacceptable.On the stage, the three main players, Sakura Somesaki, Atsushi Maeda, and Yu Oshima, had not yet been mentioned, and the three of them became more and more concerned with Togazaki Shishin's voice.

Kojima Haruna and Shinoda Mariko who were still in teamA couldn't help crying, while Minegishi Kusu and Itano Yumi were just holding back their sadness.In the end, the team of Atsushi Maeda and Yu Oshima remained unchanged, and when Somesaki Sakura heard her own sentence "teamA, Somesaki Sakura", the tears that had been stopped spewed out again, and she almost immediately Ran to the location of teamA.

At the end of the cabinet formation, each of the original teams was badly damaged. The worst was team B. Except for Watanabe Mayu, Kashiwagi Yuki and Hirashima Natsumi, all the players were replaced. .The members who have shared weal and woe together are about to leave themselves, even if there was competition between them, they are in fact inseparable from each other.

Gao Qiaonan endured the grief and delivered the final concluding speech, while the members who were still holding on on the stage, they all vented when they got off the stage. More than 100 girls all cried together and fell to the ground.Some extreme members even cried so hard that they couldn't breathe, they had to breathe, and finally, they were carried away on stretchers.

Somesaki Sakura and the others also cried together with Minegishi Kusu and Itano Yumi. Minegishi Kusu and Itano Yumi couldn't accept it. Why did they leave teamA?Why leave everyone?

In the end, it was Akihara Yasushi who came to explain all this to everyone in person. The girls' tolerance was weaker than he imagined.

"Due to the reshuffle today, everyone may be greatly stimulated. But have you ever thought about the significance of reorganizing the cabinet? After reorganizing the cabinet, you can discover and cultivate the new possibilities and beauty of everyone. Can stand You who are on a big stage like the Budokan should challenge to a bigger stage. Moreover, the reorganization of the cabinet can make each of you shine more."

Akihara Yasushi patiently told each member the reason and significance of her staying in this group and leaving this group again.Gradually, all the members quieted down, stopped crying, and nodded while listening to Akihara Yasushi's words.On everyone's face, there is the perseverance to start again and the determination to cheer.

Akb48, started a new course.
