At that moment just now, she keenly saw a trace of hesitation on Takahashi Nan's stiff face. She hid this emotion very well and very subtle.

If you are not particularly good at observing words and emotions and know something about the captain, you will never feel it.

Anyone who is familiar with Takahashi Minami knows that she really doesn't look good when she has a serious expression.

This was also one of the reasons why she was considered by many to be a mother with a bad background and accompanied her children to participate in the selection during the early stage of the first-term student selection.

As long as there is a little expression, the lines on Takahashi Minami's face will become obvious.

It's okay not to mention this, but when it was mentioned, Takahashi Nan's face turned completely dark.

"What's wrong?"

Tomomi Itano's heart skipped a beat, "No way? Is it true that some of us are thinking about graduating?"

Takahashi Minami didn't answer directly. He looked up above his head.

In that place, the air conditioner that provides warmth to the car is working in an orderly manner.

If you just calm down, you will vaguely hear the sound of "wuwuwu" airflow coming from there.

If you stare at it for too long, your entire consciousness will seem to be sucked in.

For the first-year students represented by Takahashi Minami, the word graduation is still far away, at least for now.

AKB is booming, and even overseas fans who don’t know many artists in the RB entertainment industry are aware of their existence.

During such a period, if you ask the core members of the first batch of students to announce their graduation, the operation will not agree, and neither will they themselves.

At least in the past two years, it can be said that they, those in Group A, are still focused on the group.

The "love prohibition" imposed by Yasuda Akimoto is still a strong deterrent to them all.

"The night before coming to the United States, when Ah-chan and I were on our way home, she talked to me about some topics about the future."

In order to prevent their mobile phones from being seen by the firm's staff afterwards, Minami Takahashi asked the two to delete all the contents immediately after replying to each other's messages. There are some things that only the two of them can do.

Just remember it.

While editing this text message, Minami Takahashi's thoughts had already drifted to the conversation with Atsuko Maeda a day ago.

"What happened?"

Tomomi Itano raised her head and glanced ahead. Yoko Sato was still sitting in the passenger seat and chatting with the driver. As the best English speaker in the team, she was the only one who could have such a smooth conversation with the local driver.

.

It seems that the driver is also a fan of AKB...

"Ah-chan has thoughts of graduating."

Just when Itano Tomomi was lost in thought, a new text message had been sent.

When she saw the word "graduation", Itano Tomomi covered her mouth in shock and fell into shock.

Graduation, and the most core member of the first generation of Shenqiu wanted to graduate.

Since his debut, he has been serving as an ACE until now. He is known as the "immovable ACE" by the outside world, but recently he has come up with the idea of ​​graduating.

What this means is very clear to Tomomi Itano and Minami Takahashi.

This means that AKB is about to usher in the biggest turning point before it has passed its golden period.

One thing will lead to another, and Maeda Atsuko's idea of ​​​​graduating at this time will only sound the alarm to other first-year students and even the first generation members of the Seventh God, causing more people to start thinking about their future routes.

Although her contribution to the entire AKB is recognized as indispensable, this is something that no one, including the current members of the Seven Gods and their descendants, can deny.

Even those anti-fans have to admit that AKB cannot live without Maeda Atsuko.

"Does the office know? With Ah-chan's character, if she can think of graduation, she must have had the idea a long time ago, right? Has she told her teacher?"

"Of course not." Minami Takahashi denied directly, spelling words quickly with her fingers.

"If it gets to the point where operations start discussing it, then Ah-chan's graduation is already a certainty. Right now, she just has that idea."

However, as teammates, the two of them can understand why Maeda Atsuko came up with the idea of ​​"graduating" at this time. For the entire AKB group, Maeda Atsuko is not the first member to announce her graduation.

Long before her, many first- and second-generation students had begun to announce their graduation one after another because they could not see the so-called future and their popularity was not controlled.

Some people don't have that strong desire to become idols. In addition, due to their parents' interference, there are also many people who graduate from the group and then focus on their studies.

But if one could be found among these graduates who is more popular than Atsuko Maeda, it can be said that there is no one.

When some people graduate, the turmoil caused by them will be so small that only a few or two people will pay attention and send official blessings, while some people...

Since 2008, AKB48 has entered an era of rapid rise.

High-quality songs, overwhelming publicity, and core members constantly bring other members to variety shows or theater performances.

Maeda Atsuko, who has been in the C position for these years, has always been in a state of high workload and sleeps only between two and three hours a day.

TV series and movies, variety shows, theater performances, photo album shooting.

She has no shortage of resources available to artists. All the time she can rest and sleep in the day is spent in the car. The feeling of lying in bed has become a luxury for Atsuko Maeda.

Five years of C-position career, the pressure she had to bear every time she returned, and the squeeze from operations had long since put Maeda Atsuko's body on the verge of collapse.

In other words, they ran an inhumane overdraft squeeze and never considered letting Atsuko Maeda rest.

In addition, even if she is allowed to rest alone, AKB's overall schedule cannot be interrupted.

Then we must find a replacement for her to occupy the C position.

There are many people who can do this job.

For example, Yuko Oshima, Mayu Watanabe, Mariko Shinoda...

With their popularity and influence, each of these members of Group A is qualified for the job.

But...the C position is like marijuana, it will make people addicted after tasting it.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people working hard just to get this position.

It not only means that you will get the highest level of exposure, but also your popularity, resources, and fans will show a spurt of growth.

A person standing in this position faces unimaginable pressure, but she will never take the initiative to give up this position unless she wants to graduate.

In normal times, even if my body can no longer bear it, thinking about my career and the importance of AKB's aura to me, I will choose to grit my teeth and persevere.
