little japanese princess

Approaching the end of the year, the staff brought an unexpected news to everyone. AKB48 was invited to participate in the "Red and White Songs Battle" at the end of the year. You must know that this can be regarded as Japan's "Spring Festival Gala", but it has to be said that akb48 was able to participate. Dispelled the shadow of sales that lingered in the hearts of members during this period.Although the performance time is only 1 minute and 35 seconds, it can be regarded as being aimed at audiences all over the country.

But all the good luck seemed to be used up by participating in the Red and White Song Club, and a series of things that happened next brought akb into a trough.

The first is January 1, the release of the seventh single "Romantic, No Need".This single, which was filmed before the Red and White Song Festival, is the first time Li Xiang has been shortlisted for a single selection.After working so hard for so long, Li Xiang was finally rewarded, and when she heard the news, she burst into tears in the background, and even appeared to be out of breath. Mayu and Kashiwagi comforted her for a long time before gradually calming down.Lixiang secretly complained in her heart that she had overreacted, and she was looking forward to the new single.

Originally, I heard so many experiences from Ma You when they filmed the mv, but when it comes to this single, it seems that the experience is useless.The entire single was only filmed dancing scenes in a simple studio, and there was only one set of clothes, which disappointed Rika who had been looking forward to it for a long time.The surrounding members who participated in several singles also said that this single is too simple.Sure enough, after the release, the sales volume was only 5 more than the top single. This is not long after akb has just released the red and white song. From the sales volume, it can be seen how poorly the production of this single is.

What happened next made Lixiang even more disgusted.

On February 2th, AKB28's 48th single "Sakura Petals 8" was released. This single is the first underground single "Sakura Petals" released by AKB (also the song in the first performance of AKB Theater , well-received), re-interpreted by old and new members, and the MV shooting standard is much higher than before - it is a 2008-minute movie-like MV.It can be said that this single is full of countless meanings, and the company that released it also thinks so, so it did something that made fans and members sick - collected all kinds of posters that were randomly given in the single, just You can enjoy some VIP-level treatment and get a 10 exclusive concert ticket.There are as many as 2015 types of posters.

The members who feel sorry for the fans have indirectly expressed in various ways that they don't want the fans to spend so much money.And the real nightmare is coming soon.Because DefStar Records violated Japan's "Anti-Monopoly Law (Exclusive Prohibition Law)".Therefore, ordered to cancel the accompanying poster and accept returns without any questions asked.This time, a large number of returns made this promising record only sell 2.8 copies.However, DefStar Records immediately terminated the contract with akb48 due to the lawsuit and seeing no future for akb.

AKB48 has been abandoned!

Although theater performances are held as usual, everyone knows that those who cannot release songs can only be regarded as underground idols.And AKB, who was abandoned by the record company, has a dark future.

For a moment, the members were a little panicked.The third-term students who are usually lively have also been quieter recently.Rika didn't know what to say about how she felt when she heard that DefStar and akb had terminated their contract, she just knew that she didn't want to leave this combination that had paid so much.

After returning home, it was time for an email chat with Ryosuke.

"How's it going?" Ryosuke sent an email.Seeing this sentence, Li Xiang let out a long sigh. So many things have happened recently, but she only replied: "Fortunately, I have been on red and white recently." Ryosuke's reply came immediately: "Is Li Xiang unhappy? Oh, even if it's just an email, I can see that Rika is not happy now!" Seeing Ryosuke's reply, Rika almost burst into tears.

Recently, I am really tired.The red and white performances that are not considered honors, the future that akb can't see, the atmosphere of silence among teammates, everything makes Lixiang unable to breathe.But these are not easy to talk to Ma You, she is so much younger than herself and bears no less pressure than Lixiang, how can Lixiang put her own pressure on her?And these things can’t be told to my mother. As a traditional Chinese woman, she doesn’t really support her daughter as an idol. If she knew about the series of things that happened recently, she should force Lixiang to leave the group.And Lixiang didn't want to give up being an idol, so she really didn't know who to tell the pressure in her heart.

At this time, Ryosuke sent an email again: "What's the matter with Rika, you can tell me. I encountered difficulties when I was a Jr before, and it was Rika who comforted me. Now it's time for me to solve Rika's troubles." Rika Seeing these words, he couldn't help but smile, and told his recent thoughts.However, Ryosuke gave advice in an unexpectedly mature manner, and Rika happily accepted it.

Lying on the bed at night, Li Xiang felt that something was wrong, her age could be regarded as an auntie level, why did she act like a middle school child was not mature enough.Li Xiang began to feel restless, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, but unexpectedly woke up Ma You next to her.Mayou said sleepily: "What's the matter, Lixiang? Still not asleep." Lixiang felt a little guilty for waking Mayou up. After apologizing, she couldn't help asking: "Does Mayou think I'm mature?" "Why do you say that?" "I always thought that I was quite mature, but recently I feel that Xiaoliang is more mature than me, alas~ I don't know what I'm talking about." Li Xiang rubbed her head a little irritablely, but she heard Mayou chuckle: "Rika, you always act like you're more mature than us. In fact, Rika is sometimes more immature than us. Besides, Yamada is already more mature than Rika, but Rika didn't realize it..." Mayou said As she spoke, her voice gradually lowered. Li Xiang wanted to refute but saw that Mayu was already asleep. Li Xiang could only whisper: "I was even more childish, and I didn't even cover myself with the quilt when I was sleeping." Ma You covered the quilt and fell asleep.

After another few months, Lixiang is almost adapting to the current life.

Go to the studio every month to record "AKBINGO! ", one recording can manage several episodes of the program, and I also attend performances on time at night.Lixiang’s life is actually the same as before the contract was terminated ╮(╯▽╰)╭Lixiang still thinks that it’s good to continue like this, performing with the members in the theater, occasionally filming variety shows, taking care of foreign affairs, and then doing it again when she is old Quit the group, and when you are old, talk to your grandchildren that you were also an idol when you were young.

Peaceful days until that special day comes.

The Wenchuan earthquake on May 2008, 5 shocked the whole world.

Rika happened to be filming a variety show at that time, and everyone living in Japan didn't take it seriously because of the slight shock.When I got home, my mother told me that there was a huge earthquake in Wenchuan, causing serious casualties.Li Xiang's mother is a native of Sichuan, and her family is also in Sichuan. After receiving the news, she immediately called her family, but she couldn't get through. Li Xiang's mother, who is usually a fierce woman, shed tears instantly.When Li Xiang and her father came back in the evening, everyone comforted them cautiously and said that it would be fine.When Lixiang's mother gradually calmed down and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Lixiang's mother said: "I want to go back."

"What?" Dad was the quickest to respond, "Go back to Sichuan?!" Li Xiang was stunned when she heard this.Mom had already started to pack her luggage, and replied as she packed, "Yes, I want to go back. Now, there are my relatives and compatriots there, and they all need me." Dad was silent for a while, then got up to pack, Lixiang's mother was stunned, and her father walked over and hugged his wife and sighed, "I'm also a son-in-law from Sichuan." The mother's eyes were red with emotion, and the two continued to pack their things.

Lixiang continued to be dazed by the side, and realized after a long time: "What, you are all going back to Sichuan, what about me?!" After thinking for a while, her mother said: "Mrs. Watanabe should be able to take care of you and Mayu, don't you still have a job? Well, stay at home with peace of mind." "I don't want it!" Lixiang was a little angry, "Why did you decide to go to the disaster area without discussing with me and leave me alone in Japan." Mom replied solemnly: "Lixiang , we are needed there." Lixiang thought about how such a big disaster did not happen in her previous life, how could it happen in this life, and also thought about the danger of the disaster area, she had mixed feelings for a while, and said after a while: "Then I will go too !" Mom and Dad were a little surprised, and Mom immediately reacted: "Lixiang, this is a very dangerous thing, do you really want to go?" "Go! Of course I have to go, I have to go back to see my grandma!"

It was surprisingly easy to ask Mr. Akihara for leave, but he only granted one month's leave, saying that there was a major announcement in June that Rika could not be absent.Li Xiang excitedly agreed and flew back to China with her parents.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

One month later

Li Xiang reluctantly bid farewell to Wenchuan and the disaster area, and returned to Japan.And Lixiang's parents will continue to work in the disaster area until the end of the year before going back, and even the mother's big family in Chengdu will send them off to the airport.Li Xiang's relatives in Chengdu reluctantly bid farewell to this lovely girl, and before leaving, they stuffed a lot of homemade chili and mustard.

After returning to Japan, I should go to the theater to participate in the performance the next day.The content of the performance is teamB's third channel performance that started in March, and it is also teamB's first original performance - "パジャマドライブ" (going for a drive in pajamas).The news of going to the disaster area this month took into account the complex feelings of the Japanese people towards China and was concealed by the company. It only said that something happened at home.I heard from Mayou that many fans thought that Lixiang was leaving the group, and they wrote letters to question the company, but the company could only issue an announcement saying that they would return in one month.Today is the deadline of one month. If Lixiang doesn't come back, I don't know what the fans will do.

Lixiang was moved and funny when she heard it.Fans who saw Lixiang's appearance at the performance in the evening also broke out in enthusiastic cheers.Lixiang also explained in the middle MC session that something serious happened at home and she had to go home to take care of her relatives. Now that she is back, she also thanked everyone for their concern and will continue to work hard.

After the performance, based on the curiosity of relatives and friends, Lixiang simply invited everyone to her home and told them all at once.

The only members who know that Rika is going to the disaster area are Mayu, Kashiwagi and Aika.The three of them were worried and curious, and Lixiang chatted with them until midnight before falling asleep.But this thing is also over.

Rika seems to have forgotten one thing.

good! ! !

Li Xiang, who woke up suddenly in the early morning, couldn't figure it out in her head, as if she hadn't told Xiaoliang that she was going to China, and Japanese mobile phones couldn't be used in China.Turning on the phone, she was frightened by a series of beeps. Looking at the text messages from Xiao Liang, Li Xiang couldn't feel more guilty.I can only reply a safe text message.Not long after sending it, Xiaoliang called.Lixiang immediately connected and explained the reason why she lost contact this month.Hearing Xiao Liang's sad voice, Li Xiang immediately agreed to call him every day to report his safety.

Li Xiang, who put down the phone, let out a long sigh of relief, wondering why she was so tired!

The author has something to say:

I hope readers can recommend Japanese TV dramas that are suitable for female protagonists.But the heroine should be the protagonist after the 11th year of the AKB fire. Before that, she could only play soy sauce as the female supporting role.
