I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Miyamoto sat quietly. Although he had already won the general selection once, he was still a little excited at this moment. However, he suppressed his excitement and made himself look calm.

Sakagami Minami glanced at Miyamoto Nana. Although the other woman was calm, she could tell from her slightly trembling shoulders that she was nervous.

Becoming number one and maintaining that position is exhausting; the pressure on the number one is far greater than that on the number two!

She looked at the others, and everyone seemed very nervous, each one completely focused. Even the most carefree and mischievous child, Watanabe Hikaru, seemed a little nervous, rubbing her little hands together, waiting for the result.

Just then, she saw Miyamoto Nana look at her and give her a smile. Looking at that smile, Sakagami Minami felt a strange sense of peace and calm.

"Then next is forty-ninth place, and forty-ninth place is..."

One by one, the members' names were called, and the girls who were called walked excitedly onto the stage and accepted the trophy amidst the host's blessings.

Those who weren't chosen all seemed so nervous; some were afraid of being called out too early, while others were afraid they wouldn't have another chance to be called out.

"Then next is forty-eighth place, forty-eighth place is..."

"Final votes: 16589. SKR Team R, Rika Kusube!"

Nanbe Rika stared wide-eyed until someone nudged her, and she was so shocked that she forgot to move for a while before walking toward the stage.

She was originally a member of the ninth generation, along with Miyamoto Nana and others. However, she graduated and went home due to family matters. Later, she returned and became a graduate student again. Subsequently, due to the graduation of members from various teams, she officially joined Team R. After all, she had the experience of fighting alongside the ninth generation, so the operations department would definitely give her priority.

I thought I probably wouldn't have a chance to make it into the selection, but I didn't expect that I would not only make it this time, but also get the 48th place!

She took a deep breath, walked onto the stage, and after accepting the trophy, she forced a smile and said, "I originally joined SKR because I liked my idol, but I left SKR because of some things. I thought I had no chance anymore, but my family still supported me and let me continue to pursue my dream, so I came back."

"Thank you all for your continued support, and thank you for believing in me, who left without a word and then returned!"

"I...I will definitely continue to work hard!"

Suppressing the urge to cry, she smiled at everyone on stage, and then smiled at the camera.

She knew that her parents must have watched her appearance on stage, and they would be very proud of her.

Selection continues...

"Then next is forty-seventh place, forty-seventh place is..."

……

"Then next is the thirty-eighth place, the thirty-eighth place is..."

"Final votes: 19420. SKR Team 4, Yurina Shimada!"

Upon suddenly hearing her name called, Shimada Yurina stood up excitedly, her eyes wide with disbelief.

She had been participating in the final selection for a long time, but her results had never been particularly good. She originally thought that she would probably never be able to get into the top ranks in her entire life, but she never expected to get such a high position this time!

She saw that her teammates were all looking at her, not only her own teammates, but also her former teammates who had gone to other teams. Miyamoto Nana and Nagasu Miyu were also looking at her, their eyes full of congratulations.

She stood up, strode forward, stood on the stage, and accepted the trophy presented to her.

She gripped the trophy tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She had so much to say, but in the end, it all boiled down to a single, simple sentence.

"Thank you everyone for your support! I will definitely work even harder!"

"Come on!"

"We'll always support you, Yurina-chan!"

"You are the one who will create the glory of the Shimada family!"

Fans laughed and shouted their blessings for Shimada Yurina. After she went to her seat, laughing and crying, the promotional event continued.

……

One by one, people went up to the stage under the guidance of the host, and then sat on their respective thrones.

……

"Then next is the seventeenth place, the seventeenth place is..."

"Final votes: 39982. SKR Team graduate student, Nanase Fuyuka!"

Nanase Touka had been silently waiting for her name to appear. As her ranking continued to rise, she could feel the tension and fear growing stronger and stronger within her.

They either rank highly or they fail to make the rankings.

Her hands were sweaty with nervousness, afraid that she would fail again.

However, when her own name appeared, all the fear and dread she felt vanished instantly.

"How much is the Winter-Summer Sauce?!"

"My God, she's in seventeenth place!"

"Touatsu-chan actually got seventeenth place!!"

"Doesn't this mean she's qualified to be the center of Under Girls?"

"To get this position as a graduate student, Fuyuka-chan is truly unprecedented!"

"How much was Nana-chan last time?"

"You were number one last time."

"No, no, I mean Nana-chan's position in the second selection."

"Oh, you mean this? Nana-chan got 25683 votes the second time, ranking sixteenth."

The audience below were all talking about it, and even the girls sitting down were shocked by Nanase Touka's achievement.

Last time he was 38th, but this time he jumped straight to 17th. The speed of his improvement is simply too incredible!

Nanase Touka stood up. This time, she didn't rush towards Miyamoto Sei as she used to. Instead, she walked naturally onto the stage, took a deep breath, and bowed to everyone.

"Thank you so much for your support!"

Her voice trembled slightly; clearly, even though she appeared calm, she was anything but.

"I originally thought I wouldn't make the list this time, but everyone really gave me a huge surprise! To be honest, I was even thinking about what I should say on Instagram if I had failed..."

"Haha, this time was great too!"

"That's right, I cast fifty votes for you in seventeenth place!"

"Go for it, Fuyu-chan! You're the best!!"

Listening to the fans' words, Nanase Touka thanked everyone again. Then, she looked at where Miyamoto Se was and silently clenched her fist.

Just one spot away! Just one spot away from performing on the same stage as Nana-senpai!

But please don't worry, senior. Next time, I will definitely make it into the selection group, I promise!!

"Then next is eleventh place, and eleventh place is..."

"Final votes: 69588. SKR Team S, Minami Sakagami!"

……

"Then next is the tenth place, the tenth place is..."

"Final votes: 75099. SKR Team S, Rina Asuka!"

"Final votes: 79791. SKR Team 4, Haruka Kojima!"

……

"Then next is the eighth place, the eighth place is..."

"Final votes: 80116. Team A, Aya Yamashita!"

……

"Then next is seventh place, and the seventh place is..."

"Final votes: 81990. SKG Team S II, Rena Matsuda!"

……

"Then next is sixth place, and sixth place is..."

"Final vote count: 103110. SKG Team S II, Jurina Matsuda!"

……

"The sixth place already has over 100,000!"

"This time, the sixth place has already reached the level of 100,000 votes?!"

"This will definitely go down in world history!"

The audience and fans were all staring wide-eyed at this result. The sixth place had already surpassed 100,000 votes, which was an absolutely shocking result for everyone!

However, the final selection is not over yet!

"Then next is fifth place, and fifth place is..."

"Final votes: 125236. SKR Team R, Mai Yasunaga!"

……

"Then next is fourth place, and fourth place is..."
