Time passed day by day, but the situation of teamA did not improve at all. This kind of situation made the members who had finally calmed down become impetuous again.After comforting Takahashi Nan and the others again and again, Somesaki Sakura inevitably became a little tired and even a little tired.A person who has been in an environment for a long time will always be affected by this environment.In particular, she looked at these young children in depression every day with an elder mentality, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Just when everyone was getting discouraged, something rekindled everyone's confidence.

Shinobu Togazaki came in with a letter very excitedly, "Sir, there is a letter from a fan." He raised the letter in Yasushi Akihara's hand.

To be honest, Yasushi Akihara was also worried about the stagnant situation of AKB during this time, when he suddenly saw this letter from a fan, he suddenly raised his spirits and asked, "Who is the letter for?"

"It's a letter from Somesaki Sakura." Togazaki Shishin was not surprised by this situation. During this period of time, in order to increase the popularity of AKB, not only the members worked hard, but the operator also worked hard to get along. The members went to the streets to distribute leaflets and publicity. After the performance, the members shook hands with the audience to say goodbye. Collecting a certain amount of ticket stubs can get T-shirts signed by the members, etc. In all activities, Somesaki Sakura's popularity is undoubtedly the highest, and she has received the most attention and inquiries when handing out leaflets on the street.

Yasushi Akihara was not surprised either. He nodded and said, "Tell them the news, they will be very happy." With the morale of AKB so low, the arrival of this letter can be said to be a booster.

When receiving the letter from Togazaki Shinobu, Somesaki Sakura couldn't believe it at all. She looked at the envelope in her hand with some hesitation, but the whole lounge was already noisy like an explosion.Several members standing beside her were extremely excited, and kept asking her to open the letter to have a look. Such a lively atmosphere gave Somesaki Sakura a sense of reality, and she was sure that it was indeed a letter from a fan. Finally, a smile appeared on her face, and she quickened her hand movements. During the dismantling process, she could almost hear her own heartbeat clearly.

"...I have been paying attention to you. I have always seen your hard work and excellence... Sakura-chan, please continue to work hard! I will always support you!"

This letter is not very long, the writing style is not very elegant, and it can even be seen that the age of the letter writer is not very old, but in the heart of Somezaki Sakura at this moment, this is the best letter in the world!When Somesaki Sakura was reading the letter slowly, some anxious members gathered next to her and read out the words on the letter word by word. I don’t know why, but every sentence is a word of encouragement, but at the end, All the members couldn't help but their eyes were red, and some of them were more emotional, and even broke down in tears.The noisy lounge immediately turned into a sea of ​​tears.

Seeing these sobbing members, Somesaki Sakura, who was full of satisfaction and joy in her heart, was suddenly speechless. For the first time, a feeling of not knowing what it was like appeared in her heart, sour, But sweet.

"Why are you all crying? You should be happy to receive this letter. Today is me, and tomorrow it may be any one of you. This shows that our efforts are not in vain. Everyone should be happy! We akb , I will definitely be very powerful in the future." After being silent for a long time, Somesaki Sakura herself didn't know why she suddenly said such a thing, but she had an impulse that made her unable to bear to look at these children again cry.

Her encouragement was effective. The members gradually stopped their tears. Some people who were already in tears didn't even use tissues, but just wiped their faces with their sleeves. Everyone had a smile on their faces.

Although this letter was not for them, it made them all see hope. They were not without attention, and their efforts were not in vain!

"We have to work harder! We can't give up!" I don't know who was the first to shout this sentence, and then everyone responded, and everyone said: "Yes, we can't give up! "Everyone must know akb!"

For a moment, everyone seemed to have the confidence to win, and everyone was full of ambition.

Seeing everyone's hopeful little faces again, Somesaki Sakura couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.She carefully put the letter in the small bag she carried with her. This is her first fan gift and must be kept well.

Perhaps fate finally began to take care of these young girls. Just after Somesaki Sakura said "other members will receive the letter tomorrow", the next day, two more letters really arrived in the hands of the members, Takahashi Nan and Asahi Oshima, the eyes of the two of them lit up a little when they got the letter.

And after reading the letter, Takahashi Nan, this petite girl who seems to have a huge energy in her body, couldn't help crying at this moment, with tears streaming down her face, she hugged Sakura Somesaki and said vaguely: "I I did it, Sakura, I did it!" From the clumsy girl who had to be left behind every time for tutoring, to now the second member to receive a letter from a fan, Gao Qiaonan's efforts are not insignificant.

Getting along these days, Somezaki Sakura has gradually treated this girl as a friend. Seeing her crying and laughing now, she is happy for her: "Congratulations, Xiao Nan!"

On the other side, Ma Yi also burst into tears.

Three members in a row have received letters, no doubt all members of teamA are very excited.

"I want to do something to get more people to see our performance."

"Hope more people know about akb48."

"We still believe that one day, more people will come to our show."

With this in mind, all the members and staff began to promote akb with determination and hard work.Whether it’s handing out leaflets on the street or practicing hard, at any moment, none of the members will say anything about suffering and tiredness. None of the members indicated that they would give up.In such a difficult process, akb's popularity and the number of fans are also growing a little bit. Although the increase is weak, it is enough to keep the members happy for a long time.

The name Akb48 has finally begun to be known to the world.

Finally, on January [-]th of the new year, at the request of fans, Akihara Yasushi decided to use the finale song "Sakura Petals" of teamA's performance as the official debut song.Before the release, a new member joined teamA.

During the whole process of the struggle of the members of teamA, in addition to the members of teamA who were fighting, there was another person who was silently working with them, Mariko Shinoda, the queen who was later indispensable to akb.Somesaki Sakura had no relationship with her at first, but after a performance, she saw Shinoda Mariko handing out leaflets in the street against the cold wind. The touch in her heart made her take the initiative to get to know each other.

At this time, Mariko Shinoda did not have the high aura of the queen of later generations, but she had developed her own unique temperament, and her personality was not the kind of person who was difficult to get close to. And Mariko Shinoda, how did two people who seem equally unapproachable on the outside come together?

But maybe because of Shinoda Mariko's unique temperament, in the akb popular member voting event held by akb at the end of January, although she was not one of the official members, she got more votes than some members. At last, Yasushi Akihara decided to let her join teamA.

At this moment, teamA officially became 22 people, and later generations also referred to these people as Yuan teamA.In the heart of akb senior fans, they have always been irreplaceable people.

At the moment when he was told that he could join akb, Shinoda couldn't help crying.Seeing her cry, Somesaki Sakura couldn't help thinking while being moved, it seems that since she joined akb, there has never been a day when she hasn't seen someone cry?It was a miracle that such various crying did not affect her.

Although she was a newcomer who joined a few months late, during the entire akb training process, Shinoda often used her spare time to come to study. She worked hard herself, and became even more diligent after entering akb. In just four days, She stepped onto the stage of the public performance.

Fans welcome Shinoda's joining, but there is a fly in the ointment. Since she joined after the release of the single, she is not included in the release of the single this time.On the cover of the single, all the members of teamA are included but she is the only one missing. Shinoda is not disappointed about this.

On February 2, "Sakura Petals" was officially released as the bottom single.

Although it is not a single released by akb's official debut, for the early members of akb, this song exists as the origin of their departure, and it is of great significance to them.The MV of the whole song is also put together by editing the performances of the members during practice and performances. Whenever they see this MV, it will remind them of the situation at this time, which is another kind of feeling.

Not to mention the future, at this time, as an underground single, "Cherry Blossom Petals" did not sell well or badly. However, this song entered the top tenth place in Oricon's single-week ranking. It lasted for eight weeks in total, and it was already a very exciting thing for the cruel girls who don't know the showbiz at the moment.

This is also the first time since Morning Musume debuted at No. 1998 in 6 that the debut of a female idol group has entered the top 10 of the week.

In any case, AKB has officially embarked on a journey from this moment on.
