Chapter 41: The original girl group before AKB48 and Nogizaka46

There are many girl groups in later generations, and many of them have poor singing and dancing abilities.

But as long as there is a certain bright spot, it can be accepted by the audience.

Compared to the perfect "royal idols" carefully crafted in the Showa era, this kind of girl group with certain shortcomings gives people a feeling of "authenticity".

When the bright spots of girl group members are enough to cover up shortcomings such as poor singing and dancing, then the idol girl group has the possibility of taking shape.

The artists of STARLIGHT, who can be selected to take photos, at least show that their figure and appearance are online, and there is already a bright spot. As long as they are slightly excavated, forming a real girl group is not a problem.

As for whether the RB audience can accept it?

Later AKB48 and Nogizaka46 have fully proven it.

"Otomo-san, why not consider building the artists into a girl group?"

"Girl group? Women's combination?" Funamura Otomo's face was already red, and his speech was a bit stuttering, "Flower Three Maidens... and... Pink Lady?"

"No," Nagayama Naoki was helpless, "Otomo-san, if you have the level of idols in these two combinations, do you still need to drink depressed wine here?"

"Also, then what is a girl group?"

"As the name suggests, it is a women's group, but the number of people can be relatively large, 5 or more members." Nagayama Naoki said slowly,

"Each person is not a perfect idol, and has their own shortcomings and bright spots,

but when little bits of light converge into a whole, what people see will be the 'starlight' of the idol."

"That... that kind of... Starlight or something..." Funamura Otomo smiled, looking like a lecherous middle-aged man,

"It must be very beautiful~"

Then with a bang, he fell drunk on the izakaya table.

"What is this~ With such a poor drinking capacity, you dare to call someone out for a drink?!" Nagayama Naoki didn't notice it for a while, and actually let him drink like this until he was drunk.

"Kishou~ Actually, I have to pay for the wine?!"

"Koso! After paying the money, I have to send this old man back?! I don't even know where he lives!"

"So, you sent him to the studio?" Ido Shuichi looked at Funamura Otomo on the recliner in the office.

"Sumimasen, I really don't know where he lives."

"Sending him back to the agency would make Otomo-san lose face."

"Sending him to a hotel, a young handsome guy like me sending a drunk uncle to a hotel would make people misunderstand."

"Leaving him on the roadside, it wouldn't be good if an accident happened."

"After thinking about it, Shuichi-san is our common good friend, and the space here is big enough, so I can definitely find a place to sleep, so I brought him here."

Ido Shuichi had a toothache: "You could have let him sleep in your car."

Nagayama Naoki was righteous: "My newly bought sports car, I can't bear it!"

The reason is very sufficient.

He hadn't been to Ido Shuichi's place for quite a few days, and the studio was surprisingly empty.

"Shuichi-san, is the advertisement filmed?"

"Not yet!"

Nagayama Naoki was a bit strange: "It's been almost a week, why hasn't it ended yet?"

It's just an advertisement; if it's fast, it can be filmed in a day.

"The rival scenes of the male and female protagonists are slow to enter the state, and both of them have announcements to go to, so the time can't be gathered~"

"Haha, Shuichi-san, didn't you let them go on a date?" Nagayama Naoki remembered the previous experience.

"If Johnny's knew I encouraged their idols to fall in love, Yakuza would come to do things!" Ido Shuichi joked about Johnny's black background.

"Hahaha~" Nagayama Naoki also laughed, seeing that the studio had already set the scene, "Then are you filming today?"

"Yes, it's hard to have time in the afternoon, I hope it can be filmed today."

Nagayama Naoki had nothing to do for the time being, and planned to continue discussing the girl group after Funamura Otomo woke up, so he planned to stay and watch the fun.

Ido Shuichi also said it was fine, and watched him go to greet the staff.

It wasn't until the male and female protagonists arrived that the real filming began. At this time, Nagayama Naoki of course didn't disturb the filming scene, but stood far behind the scenes.

Ido Shuichi was NGing again, Kondo Masahiko was complaining again, and he didn't know the heroine, but she looked very cute...

Standing outside the circle watching the filming of a reality show, it was indeed very interesting.

After an hour or two, Funamura Otomo had already sobered up and was still wondering why he was in the studio.

"Otomo-san, you're finally awake~" Nagayama Naoki poured a glass of water, "Do you still remember what we were talking about before?"

"It's really rude, Naoki-san." Funamura Otomo seemed to have sobered up, "But it was a bit vague before, it seemed to be starlight or something..."

"Ha, sure enough, you forgot."

"I was talking about girl group, girl group!"

"Uh, women's combination? Flower Three Maidens... and... Pink Lady kind?"

Even the words were the same. It seems Funamura Otomo is really a fan of these two combinations.

Nagayama Naoki explained to Ido Shuichi again: "No, it's not that kind of idol combination, but that kind of idol group with many members.

Members can have shortcomings, but they also have bright spots that attract people. The bright spots of the group members combine into the starlight of the entire idol group~"

"Naoki-san's meaning is to let the artists of STARLIGHT agency form an idol group?" Funamura Otomo was surprised, "Will that attract people?"

"The image of a girl idol is really too perfect, isn't it? It's not a bad thing to have an idol group that is not so perfect occasionally.

The artists of STARLIGHT agency, although none of them have the charm of an idol, a group of young girls with appearance and figure, no matter what, will not be annoying."

Funamura Otomo also nodded, and Nagayama Naoki continued:

"Although there are such and such shortcomings, against the backdrop of shortcomings, the bright spots will be more attractive."

"Naoki-san, such a girl group, I'm afraid there will be resistance, right? There will also be a lot of criticism from the media." Funamura Otomo was a bit worried.

"Hai, in the current popularity of royal idols, such a girl group may not be highly accepted,

but Otomo-san, your agency didn't have any fame to begin with, right? Even if it's criticism, that's heat."

Black fans are also fans~

Funamura Otomo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Naoki-san is really hitting the nail on the head!"

Nagayama Naoki said: "After the heat is up, whether it's taking the opportunity to release records or producing reality shows, they are all directions that can continue to develop."

"Anyway, they didn't do anything bad. A group of cute girls, not everyone will strongly resist, right~"

Such an operation is worthy of Naoki-san.

Funamura Otomo thought for a while and felt that it was indeed feasible.

"Also, Otomo-san. The characteristic of a girl group is that the people inside can be constantly rotated.

You can even build an original girl group and use an appointment system for the members, regularly injecting new blood to keep it vibrant, and even become a kind of inheritance."

"Original girl group?"

Funamura Otomo decided to give it a try.

During the break, Kondo Masahiko said to Matsuzawa Masayoshi: "What is that guy doing here? Standing there watching the joke again..."

"He should be here for something with Ido Shuichi." Matsuzawa Masayoshi was not sure.

"Annoying guy."

"Masahiko-san, why do you look at Nagayama Naoki unpleasantly?" From Matsuzawa Masayoshi's perspective, Nagayama Naoki had only met him for the second time, and the first time didn't seem to have much contact, and he didn't lose his manners to them.

"That guy always looks amazing, doesn't take others seriously, it's annoying to look at."

Matsuzawa Masayoshi seemed to understand a bit.
