Chapter 730 Thanksgiving

After rejecting Mai Shiraishi's Christmas gift, Kiyoshi Sakamoto adjusted his mood and put his mind on work.

When I met her again, it was January 2012. . .

. . . . . .

For the New Year's holiday, after discussion with Kiyoshi Sakamoto and others, a week-long holiday was given to the girls of Nogizaka.

After spending a different holiday, the girls returned to Tokyo and Sony again on January 1th.

Shiraishi Mai is no exception.

After a period of calm, the girl had already forgotten about the Christmas gift.

Although, questions arise from time to time, "Why would Sakamoto-kun reject me?"

However, the time for her debut is getting closer and closer, and her mind is also completely occupied by single recording and dance practice.

On this day, Nogizaka's practice room welcomed a rare visitor.

"Hello everyone!"

When Sakamoto Kiyoshi, accompanied by Chiba Masaki, Konno Yoshio and other management members, walked into the practice room, the whole room was suddenly attacked by the chief producer who had never seen the end of the dragon, and suddenly became quiet .

The girls who were dancing just a second ago froze as if the pause button had been pressed.

Many suspicious and searching eyes shot at the handsome young man.

Why is he here?

After signaling the dance teacher to turn off the music, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also smiled and waved to the girls, "Long time no see, how is the New Year? Vitality?"

Since its establishment, Sakamoto Kiyoshi has entrusted Chiba Masaki, Kitagawa Kenji and others to decide many matters concerning Nogizaka.

He didn't have much direct contact with Nogizaka's girls.

This is probably the first meeting between Kiyoshi Sakamoto and all Nogizaka members in the practice room!
Therefore, it is not surprising that the girls were surprised.

It was also because of the fact that I had very little contact with him, which led to his greetings, and the answer he got was just a very formulaic "Yes!"

Looking at the young girls standing in several rows, with a little alienation and nervousness on their young faces, Kiyoshi Sakamoto couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It seems that I will come over more often in the future, otherwise, I'm about to become a big devil that everyone fears..."

Inner thoughts, not expressed.

He continued to maintain a friendly smile and said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm here today. I have some good news that I want to share with you."

good news?
Hearing his words, the girls immediately showed curious expressions and looked at him quietly.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not announce immediately, but scanned the girls with his eyes.

One by one, when they came to Mai Shiraishi, they paused for a second, and then moved away immediately.

Mai Shiraishi would not have noticed if he hadn't been staring at him closely.

This also made her feel a little more relaxed for some reason.

Sakamoto-kun, you still pay attention to me. . .

"The 5th of next month will be the [-]th anniversary of my personal debut. In order to thank the fans for their support, the company decided to hold an [-]th anniversary concert for me. So, I plan to invite some singers as my special guests. Get on stage and perform."

"And you..."

Having said that, Kiyoshi Sakamoto paused intentionally, trying to whet the appetite of the girls.

Apparently, this trick worked.

The girls all showed curiosity and anticipation, staring at him closely.

"It's also one of the special guests!"

"Eh?!!"

"real or fake?!"

The girls were shocked, and all showed expressions of disbelief.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto seemed very satisfied with the surprise of the girls, and nodded, "In other words, you are about to usher in the first stage of "Nogizaka46"! Not in MS or anywhere else, but my thanks Sacrifice!"

The Thanksgiving Festival is an event held by singers or entertainers to thank fans for their continuous support.

Simply put, it is a concert to give back to fans.

Many singers have held similar activities.

However, this time the protagonist is Sony's first brother, the national male god Sakamoto Kiyoshi!
This explosive good news made the girls extremely excited and nervous at the same time.

All of a sudden, the girls began to whisper to each other, and the entire room was filled with heated discussions.

When the discussion became more intense and the scene was a bit chaotic, Yoshio Konno, the president of the Nogizaka Contract Company and one of the core members of the operation, standing beside Kiyoshi Sakamoto, frowned, clasped his hands together, and clapped two hands vigorously. Down.

"Clap!"

"Quiet! Quiet!"

The girls seemed to be more afraid of this middle-aged man, and when they heard his voice, they immediately fell silent.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was on the side, also noticed this scene and knew it in his heart.

"It seems that in the operation, the role of Yoshio Konno is the one who sings the bad face..."

Interrupting the discussion of the girls, Yoshio Konno also bowed slightly to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, "I'm sorry, director."

"It's okay." Patting him on the shoulder, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's smile was still bright.

Turning his head and facing the girls again, "Okay, now, if anyone wants to ask a question, you can raise your hand."

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's usual smile melted away the tension in the hearts of the girls.

At this time, a girl raised her hand, "Then... What is the song we are performing?"

Looking along the sound, Kiyoshi Sakamoto saw a face as handsome as a boy.

That is. . .

Rina Ikoma!

Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought, it seems that the boy has begun to consciously take on the role of vice-captain. . .

The vice-captain's sense of responsibility was stronger than that of the captain beside him.

At this time, Sakurai Reika was at a loss.

Seeing this scene, those who didn't know thought that Nogizaka's captain was only Ikoma Rina.

He deserves to be called the "waste team". . .

Thinking of this, Sakamoto Kiyoshi looked at Ikoma Rina with a softer gaze.

"Of course it's your debut single!"

Sakamoto had already written his debut single early in the morning.

The Sony choreographers who got the song also compiled a set of beautiful dances suitable for girls based on the song.

Just before Kiyoshi Sakamoto came in, the girls were still practicing that dance. . .

"Then, the number of people we will perform on stage at that time, wouldn't it be..." At this time, another girl also raised her own question.

It's Mai Shiraishi!
"Well, that's right, the only ones who can perform on stage are the 16 people who entered the selection!"

In other words, among the 29 members here, there will be 13 people who cannot follow the group to the first stage.

The cruel fact made the girls fall silent for an instant. . .

After answering a few questions, Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt that it was time to leave.

Just when he was about to turn around and leave, Kiyoshi Sakamoto seemed to remember something, turned around again, and said to the girls: "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the venue for this Thanksgiving concert is at The Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, the maximum number of spectators that can be accommodated there is 7000 people!"

After finishing speaking, the corners of his mouth also raised slightly, showing a suspected smirk, "That is to say, your first stage will face the scrutiny of [-] audience..."

"So, for the next month, let's work hard!"
