Extras: Chapter 026 Nogizaka46VSAKB48?
Mika Ninagawa is a well-known female director and artist in RB, and is as famous as Takashi Murakami and Michito Nara.
My father is Ninagawa Yukio, a well-known RB film and drama director.
Her photography works and the films she directed almost perfectly show the profound female beauty. The industry's evaluation of her name shines on the front line now like the synonym of "Tokyo".
In Akimoto Yasushi's cognition, in RB's photography and director circles, this is the only one who perfectly mixes the spirit of women with his preference for color, creating a female world as sweet as candy, sweet, sexy but not pretentious.
In 2007, the movies directed by Mika Ninagawa, "The Evil Girl", "The Sakuras" and "Fireworks Dream" received praise at the International Film Festival after its release, and the movie sparked the "Ninagawa fever" phenomenon.
Now such a powerful person has been invited to shoot the cover photo and PV of the 17th single of AKB48, which is a big deal on the surface.
But...it seems that it is not so surprising if you combine the terrifying popularity of AKB48 in RB and the continuous record of multi-million sales.
Thinking of this, Akimoto Yasumi's chubby face shook slightly, "Is there any new trends on Sony?"
"Naoki Kitagawa said on the phone that he had read the new girl group's plan in detail. I told him on the phone as you mean that in order to stagger the seventeen orders for AKB48 next summer, it is recommended that Sony announce the plan in advance, but Kitagawa's idea of planting trees is different from us."
"Rejected?" Akimoto Yasumi frowned immediately. "What is the reason?"
"Keikawa Naoki means that they can accept our past plan proposals when submitting our new girl group selection, and first auditions will be held across the country, and thirty-three first-year students will be selected from them.
Starting from the form of variety shows, and we must continue to plan as a long-term variety show. Let fans witness the growth of the new group step by step, but..."
Yoshio Imano paused for a moment, "Keikawa Naoki hopes that the first release date of this girl group's debut can be carried out simultaneously with AKB's seventeenth release date."
"Synchronous?" Akimoto Yasushi immediately sat upright. "Kekawa wants the two girl groups to compete in the ring?"
It can be said that this change decision by Kitagawa Naoki made Akimoto Yasuke feel unexpected.
The birth of Nogizaka 46 was because Akimoto Yasushi gradually lost his voice within AKS. In addition, the team members were exposed one after another and negative news, and there were internal conflicts between the entire AKB group, which led to his "disheartened" and gradually shifting his enthusiasm for AKB48 to cooperation with Sony.
In other words, Akimoto Yasushi was Shinokizaka46 for his next AKB48.
However, this situation has long been rewritten by Lee Hyun-cheol's appearance, and Akimoto Yasushi is still a place where "one person can stand the sky".
AKB48 is also happening at its peak, although Lee Hyun-chul's intervention has recovered several times of the huge news crisis that Wenchun Club is about to break out.
But it also led to Akimoto Yasushi's beginning to reflect on his operating model system for the entire AKB group, which has reached a rust level and must be changed.
Of course, these incidents also made the members of the Group A who made mistakes restrain their playful minds.
There is no crisis on AKS, and AKB48 has returned to the right track. The members all use strict standards to demand themselves, and the interests of the combination are paramount, and individuals are developing slowly.
However, Akimoto Yasushi's attitude towards Nogizaka 46 is still very important.
At least he wants to make some results urgently and get the recognition of that person.
Therefore, Akimoto Yasushi was also in trouble with Kitagawa Naoki's opinion.
Of course, there is another reason why he can't pay attention.
In the email sent to him by Lee Hyun-cheol, Lee Hyun-cheol left a message that Nogizaka 46 would need at least one year of preparation.
During this period, the members who have registered from all over the country must receive regular trainee training.
All-round teaching is carried out in major areas of vocal music, dance, etiquette, makeup, acting skills, and art.
For vocal music, dance and etiquette, Lee Hyun-cheol arranged teachers from the RB branch of S..M in Tokyo to train this group of first-class students completely in the training mode of the Korean group.
Let their strength reach the level of a basic kpop newcomer debut, which is completely separated from the strength of the AKB or the current RB idol group.
Makeup is taught by the makeup artist team within AKS, teaching some artists basic disguise skills.
The acting skills are made by Oki in the form of semi-fixed variety shows, with the theme of discovering and releasing nature, and finding members with their own talents in this field.
As for their final performance, this will be taught on-site by the MC who serves as their debut group variety show.
Akimoto Yasushi was very shocked by this arrangement.
In his opinion, if AKB48 had such treatment, their starting point would not have been to live in the underground theater of Akihabara for a long time. Facing the few audiences working hard to perform, they could only get tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yen in the last month to solve the problem of food and clothing.
Based on this point, Lee Hyun-chul said in the email that "Sony is willing to pay and wants to make a girl group that competes with AKB48, and even does not deny that there is a possibility of surpassing them.
Therefore, we naturally have to follow a completely different model in terms of operation model, combination positioning, and member strength level from AKB48.
When AKB48 debuted, we had no money, or because we did not have a strong backer and publicity party like Sony, even if we spend more money, this is a bottomless pit.
The public can only care about them from zero to one little by little, but this new group is different. Their starting point is to grow under the big tree of Sony.
Furthermore, times are different. It is precisely because of AKB that there was Nogizaka. If AKB was established, it would be funded by Sony.
That only means that there must be an opponent who can completely compete with AKB.
Before, we created a new era of idol groups, and now...Nogizaka has appeared."
Therefore, given the style of Nogizaka 46, Lee Hyun-cheol gave the answer to "Miss". The combination support color is purple, symbolizing coolness and nobility.
At this point, Nogizaka...is also known as "Suzuka".
AKB48 is a village girl group, who walked out of the narrowest and darkest underground market.
In the early stage, the members' singing and dancing were all taught by themselves by watching videos, and they explored themselves in constant performances.
One order and two orders were even taken to take promotional photos, cover pictorials, and PVs, some of the clothing used in the members' own private servers, or they were simply modified.
The cheapness exudes a rustic smell, if it weren't for the members' appearance.
With the aesthetics of contemporary people, they will only complain that this is a group of village girls.
This is the origin of the village girl group’s statement.
