Nogizaka Loop

Yurina Hirate stepped forward, her expression solemn. She looked at Mizuki Yamashita, and they nodded to each other. In unison, they said:

“That year’s audition was for Nogizaka’s first single selection, and Sumire Mimura ultimately became the center. I saw Rina Ikoma slumped in her chair, sobbing uncontrollably. I’ll never forget that sight. At that moment, I thought that if I could become a Sakamichi idol, I would have to win it all. Now the audition is right in front of me, and I have to consider whether this might be the only chance I’ll ever get. I believe Rina Ikoma played an indispensable role in making Nogizaka46 the powerhouse it once was. Restoring Nogizaka’s former glory is a duty we cannot shirk.”
