Chapter 49 Glory

"Flying Start" sold 40 copies on the first day of its release, ranking first in the daily singles chart that day, and after that, the sales of singles grew even more explosively.To be honest, the song "Start with Flying" has won unprecedented acclaim in a way that the members did not expect, even though everyone knew it before, it is indeed a good song that is understandable.

However, the popularity of this song is beyond everyone's surprise.

A comment on the music website hotexpress pointed out that the tune of this song is "the hottest in the history of AKB48", and described the song's popularity as "refreshing".In addition, the review said that compared to AKB48's previous concept of "it will be a designated summer song", this song "is a song that breaks new ground for idol music, and it is a song that tries to turn Japan into a summer party all year round." This song will be loved by many people."

In Oricon’s special episode, the commentary pointed out that "whether it is the song, arrangement, costume or PV, all parts feel more mature than previous singles", and believed that AKB48's "unseen brilliance" in this song " is "the result of the addition of these elements".

CDJournal's audition review described the single as "a sound featuring strong wind instrument timbres, complemented by a blazing positive message, completing an exciting track".

The overwhelming praise made this song the most popular song in 2010. The Latin American music style coupled with the bright rock and roll made many people feel excited after listening to it.At this moment, everyone forgot about the many negative news about akb48, and only cheered for akb48's music.

Undoubtedly, this is a great success in the history of akb48.And the sales of this single clearly reflect this point.

In the first week, the sales of the single reached 60 copies, ranking first in the weekly singles chart. At the same time, akb48 achieved a good result of two consecutive singles exceeding 50 sales.At this time, the sales momentum of the single is still unabated, and many people predict that this single is likely to exceed one million sales within this year.

The final result, of course, was not expected by everyone. As of November 2010, "Flying Start" was recorded by the Recording Association of Japan with millions of sales. Years and two months ago.

In any case, with the sales of this single, akb48 successfully let the outside world see their tenacity and unbeatable spirit.

However, it can only be said that there are many people who are popular. The more popular akb48 is at this time, the more people want to catch their mistakes. This situation did not end until akb48 unexpectedly won an award.

Akb48 won the Gold Award in the "Excellent Product Design Award", issued by the Japan Design Promotion Association.

Most people have never heard of this award, and many ordinary Japanese may not know much about it.But in Japan, the weight of this award is heavy enough.This is the most authoritative award in the field of industrial design in Japan. All the award-winning products represent the most advanced creativity in the field of industrial design in Japan that year.

It is amazing that akb48, as an idol group, has won the most authoritative award in the field of industrial design.Also for the first time, this award goes to "people" rather than "products".

At this time, akb has not yet won the Japan Record Award, but has already won the "Entertainment Engineering Design Gold Award", which means that, perhaps earlier, in the eyes of professionals, akb48 is not just an idol group , it represents a mode of operation, which is already a huge and systematic project, rather than simply debuting, singing, and releasing singles.

And this project, after such a long time, has gradually gained the recognition of the Japanese mainstream circles.

An idol group can do such a thing. Regarding the ability of akb48, the industry has already come to a conclusion.What is even more admirable is the founder of AKB48, Yasushi Akihara.

From this time on, no negative reports can shake such a behemoth as akb48. AKB48 has really become a full-name idol in Japan, just like one plus one is greater than two, exerting a power that completely surpasses their own.

In September, at the akb9teamA performance, Somezaki Sakura announced that she will release her second solo single. At the same time, "Sakura" will also be released in the near future.

After the second general election, Sakura Somesaki has matured a lot.Although, she still has countless personal itineraries to complete every day

Well, she still has TV series to shoot, movies to promote, and new singles to release, but she began to try her best not to miss the performances of akb48, even if she missed the performances, she had to let herself attend every handshake meeting.

At this point, Takahashi Kusu has always done better than Somezaki Sakura.Perhaps, it is also because Gao Qiaonan attaches so much importance to fans that she becomes the irreplaceable captain of akb48.And after Somesaki Sakura realized her own shortcomings, Takahashi Nan was very happy, and the two of them almost resumed their days of going in and out together.

Of course, at the same time as Somezaki Sakura’s new single is released, there is another thing that cannot be ignored, and that is the upcoming akb48 boxing match held at the Nippon Budokan.

As the name suggests, the boxing game is to determine the winner or loser by guessing the game, that is, scissors, rock, and paper. So, what can the winner get? AKB48's 20th single selection list.It means that the top 16 people who won the boxing game can become the selected members of akb48's No. 20 single, and the members who get No. 1 are the center of this single.

Completely random, not relying on strength, not relying on popularity, just relying on luck, this is a bold attempt, and it is also very exciting. There is no Oshima Yu or even any of the members selected during the election. Can the 16 randomly selected members be able to support the sales of a single?

It sounds crazy, as if betting on the future of an idol group, but it has attracted the attention of almost the whole people, and

And, let the members be eager to try.There are so many members who haven't even been selected for a single, and they all dream of being able to enter the selection group, or more daringly, want to become a center.

Since this name is given, its content must not disappoint those who follow it.

On the day when it was officially held, the members' outfits alone surprised all the audience, and they felt very pleasantly surprised.Afterwards, somesaki Sakura, Itano Tomomi, and Takahashi Kusu, the most popular main members, fell off one after another, which made everyone sigh and excited.It also made everyone have greater expectations for the final result of this competition.

There are five rounds in this boxing contest. The members who lost the first round completely missed the new single, and the losers in the second round became the recording members of the CW song of the new single, and entered the third round. There are 16 players in total, all of whom can become selection members, and the next three, four, and five rounds are all to determine the order of these members and decide who is No.1.The top 12 contestants, called the media selection group, have the opportunity to participate in the media promotion process of the single.

Surprisingly and not surprisingly, Shinoda Mariko and Watanabe Mayu lost in the second round and became members of the CW song, while Maeda Atsushi entered the third round, but lost in the third round, ranking 16th, no Entering the media selection group, another popular member, Hina Kojima, was lucky enough to enter the media group as the third place.

However, the biggest surprise of this boxing contest is the No.1 member.

In the last round of duel, no one would have thought that one of the members would be Yu Oshima.Yes, this girl relied on her super luck, when all the members with the same popularity fell down one after another, she passed five trials and six generals by herself, and entered the final part of the finals.

From the big screen, Oshima Yu is visibly nervous.Although she was smiling, her slightly trembling hands had revealed her inner unrest, and her opponent, Uchida Matomo, was even more nervous than her, because this was a child who had never entered the selection group.

If you win, you are center.No one can bear such a temptation.Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Yu Oshima should be more stressed than Matomo Uchida. After all, Yu Oshima has longed for the position of center many times, and she must feel uncomfortable when she misses again and again. After all, Matomo Uchida is the first Once selected into the selection group, it's good to succeed, but if she doesn't succeed, the result will be a big joy for this girl.

When the host shouted "rock-paper-scissors-paper", everyone in the audience was calling for the member they supported. The members in the audience were a little excited, and some of them opened their eyes wide and waited to see the result.Somesaki Sakura stared straight at the stage, feeling a bit wasteful even blinking, for fear of missing the final scene if she made a wrong eye.Her heart was beating fiercely, and she felt even more nervous than herself on stage.

"rock-paper-scissors!"

At this moment, everyone held their breath—the next second, deafening cheers resounded throughout the Budokan.

On the stage, Yu Oshima laughed and danced, almost jumping out of the whole person, he couldn't be happier.Matomo Uchida on the side was a little disappointed, but the happy smile on her face was not fake.

When the host raised Yu Oshima's hand and announced that she was the champion of this contest, there was another loud cheer at the scene. Before Yu Oshima stepped down, Sakura Somesaki and the others rushed up to hug Oshima Yuu, everyone is giggling completely out of image.It felt like Yu Oshima was too excited to speak at this time, and finally, she had a chance to stand in the C position.

Standing on the stage and accepting the congratulations of thousands of people, Yu Oshima finally gained glory at this moment.
