Chapter 179 The Man in the Sunset On the one hand, it was because this huge circular stage didn’t seem to be rotating very fast, but when I first stood on it, I felt like I couldn’t stand steadily. Second. To ensure their safety. This stage, custom-made by Hira Kiyosugi, has a thick sponge pad. It is safe, but it feels weird to walk on, and it's a bit slippery. After going on stage, they tried several times, but either they fell down because they couldn't stand steadily, or their shoes felt strange stepping on the sponge, so their movements were a little distorted. It was Nicole Yazawa who came up with a solution. She asked everyone to take off their shoes and socks and walk barefoot on the sponge to solve the problem. However, just as they were gradually getting on the right track, more and more groups passed the previous assessments, came to the scene, and began to step onto this rotating stage. The show ends here.
Instead of announcing the final winner as usual, some clips were played first, in which the girls fell or failed because of the rotating stage, but quickly stood up and continued dancing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is an opportunity for the program team to show the girls' hard work and strength. But it’s different from those shows that force tears. Scenes like this in the Sakura Girls show are all very natural. The audience knows very well why these girls work so hard, so their persistence and hard work are touching. As the girls gradually became familiar with the venue and the dance, their movements began to become coordinated. The music also switched to dance music. The camera began to rotate slightly. Nine idol groups appeared on the screen like a revolving lantern. Not to mention, the dance of the barefoot girls is quite exciting to watch. However, after this segment ended, the screen went dark, and instead of announcing who won the championship as in the previous episodes, the screen just changed. The camera turned to a meadow. The afterglow of the setting sun spread over the grass, covering the earth with a golden coat. On the grass, a group of little idols sat together on the soft grass. Girls with different styles formed a big circle. The setting sun gradually dimmed, and the breeze blew across the grass, bringing the fragrance of green grass and flowers in the distance, giving the whole shot a more cinematic feel. However, at this moment, when the camera pulls down. The audience discovered some different details. Most of the little idols had tears on their faces.
The subtitles in the video explain why. [After the champion of this episode was announced, everyone was in a low mood, and the producer took everyone to the grass. ] In order to increase the anticipation for the movie, the production team did not announce the champion of this episode, but in fact the tears on the faces of the young idols have already revealed most of the answers. Especially Kousaka Honoka, she was already crying her eyes out and her emotions were on the verge of collapse. This is the cruel side of competitive programming. There are only so many resources and only one champion. There will always be losers and winners. Everyone understands this truth, but Honoka Kousaka is still very frustrated. Because they were clearly the first to reach the final level, yet they missed the championship. And the rewards for this issue are so special. While practicing dancing, they were still discussing how the one-minute guest appearance would appear. Therefore, when they knew that they failed to win the championship this time, the gap between before and after was actually quite large. When Kousaka Honoka started crying, many other girls started crying too. Just when Honoka Kousaka was sad, Hira Kiyoshige walked between them, patted Honoka Kousaka's shoulder gently, then picked up a guitar from the staff and sat next to them. As he plucked the strings casually, the melody flowed out from the guitar in Ping Qingshan's hand, and echoed in the empty grassland through the speakers that had been placed in advance. Honoka Kousaka felt that the melody sounded familiar, but like many famous songs, sometimes she couldn't remember it just by listening to the prelude. Fortunately. As Ping Qingshan spoke, she quickly remembered what the song was. "To you who are shining as brightly as that day, don't give up. The goal is not far away. No matter how far we are, my heart will be with you..." "What is this? Izumi Sakai's song!" The girls sitting here are not very old, but they have all listened to Izumi Sakai's songs when they were young. The song "Don't Give Up" was almost popular all over the country at that time. The popularity of this song is somewhat similar to that of Fish Leong's "Courage". It is one of those songs that people can still sing along to after hearing the melody even after more than ten years. Although Ping Qingshan's singing skills are not outstanding, fortunately his emotions are sincere, his voice is loud, and what stands out is his confidence. In addition, he played the guitar and sang by himself, and the feeling of singing was completely different from the original singer. When Izumi Sakai sings this song, it gives people the feeling of a gentle breeze on their face and a girl whispering to cheer up her lover. Ping Qingshan's singing conveyed a feeling of chicken blood. Although it was also a breeze, this breeze carried a strong flavor of chicken soup. But in this situation, I really feel something.
Many girls heard Ping Qingshan sing for the first time. In addition, they had preconceived notions that Ping Qingshan's singing skills as a producer should be average, so when Ping Qingshan opened his mouth, many girls felt goose bumps. How can it sound so good! ? When the first half of the song was finished, Ping Qingshan put down the guitar in his hand and waved. "all together!" Ping Qingshan didn't say any words of comfort throughout the whole process, but the song just now and the cheerful tone were like a breeze that blew away the haze in everyone's hearts. Kousaka Honoka wiped away her tears and joined Hira Kiyoshi's singing, and other young idols also joined in. Even if you can’t sing this national song, you can at least hum along. So, when Ping Qingshan's guitar sounded again, the gentle chorus echoed over the grass. The grass under the setting sun seemed to have become the stage in their hearts. The golden light in the distance seemed to be their hope, illuminating their way forward. That’s the beauty of the song. The girls in the chorus gradually became more spirited and their singing became louder and louder. at the same time. Many girls also turned their attention to Ping Qingshan. Ping Qingshan, who was playing the guitar and leading them in singing in the sunset, seemed to have become a glowing existence, and his figure looked particularly handsome against the backdrop of the sunset. "Don't give up, the goal is not far away. No matter how far we are, my heart will be with you~~~" Nan Xiaoniao, who was sitting next to Ping Qingshan, felt as if she was drunk and felt a little dizzy. Afterwards, Ping Qingshan led them in singing a few more songs, and the atmosphere at the scene became warmer and warmer. At the same time, many girls' feelings towards Ping Qingshan began to change. Before, Ping Qingshan didn't put on airs in front of them. But he always has a serious face, and his identity makes it difficult for many people to see his daily side, and they always feel that he is not from the same world. But today on the grass, Ping Qingshan seemed to walk among them. At this time, a breeze blew, blowing the corners of Ping Qing's clothes, and also made the girls' hearts flutter. Chapter 180 Lonely Rock “It’s not that we didn’t practice enough, it’s that we didn’t find a bigger stage!!!” Private Sakuragaoka Girls' High School. Light music section.
In front of the small desk, Hirasawa Yui was standing on a chair, holding a flyer in one hand and a piece of Dorayaki in the other, speaking loudly about her bold words. However, the other companions in the audience did not get excited. Tianzhong Ritsu touched his chin and looked at Hirasawa Yui in confusion. "You're not trying to change the subject on purpose because you want to skip today's practice." As soon as Tianzhong Ritsu said this. Hirasawa Wei paused visibly, then shook his head and explained guiltily. "No, no, no, I'm just saying that compared to practice... we have more important things to discuss today." After saying this, perhaps worried that Tianzhong Ritsu would continue asking questions. Hirasawa Yui slammed the flyer in her hand onto the table. "A place with shining stars? What is this?" Mio Akiyama read the words on the flyer and then looked at the bottom of the flyer. "Is this a talent show? Is it organized by the school?" Qinchui also came over. After all her friends gathered together, Hirasawa Yui cleared her throat. "Ahem, everyone knows about Sakura Girls, right? This event is a new project of the producer of Sakura Girls..." It can be seen that Hirasawa Yui was prepared. She explained the contents of the project very clearly according to the leaflet, which was totally unlike her style. simply put. This "Where the Stars Shine" is another talent show launched by Ping Qingshan. The talent show is divided into two major sections: artist group and college group. The requirement for participating is to participate in the competition as a band. Let’s not talk about the artist group for now. The college group will recruit campus bands from across the country to compete based on the existing framework of the Sakura Girls School Idol Contest. The winners, like the Sakura Girls, will be able to enter the main competition of "Shining Star". The main competition will be held in October. That is after the first season of Sakura Girls ended. Therefore, just like the Sakura Girls School Idol Contest, the college group preliminaries of "Shining Star" also began to be organized in advance. Overall, the competition system is no different from that of a campus idol competition. Except one is an idol group and the other is a band group. The entire "Shining Star" project is actually an expansion of Sakura Girls, and it is also a preparation made by Ping Qingshan for the layout.
Now. Ping Qingshan has begun to reap some benefits from the Sakura Girls project. For example, all the major brokerage companies have begun to contact him, and more and more companies are asking if they can bring their groups in the second season. Economic companies that want to enter the idol industry have begun to worship him as the God of Wealth, but overall, there are still many brokerage companies that do not have any girl idol groups under their umbrella. Therefore, they don’t have much intersection with Ping Qingshan. In fact, the proportion of these brokerage companies in the entertainment industry is not small. For example, Oscar Communications, which owns Ryoko Yonekura and Aya Ueto, and LesPros Entertainment, the former employer of Yui Aragaki, and there are also seven or eight other companies.
