I think it's really unfair to criticize AKB48 so lightly.

I think it's really unfair to criticize AKB48 so lightly.
I don't have the habit of watching TV casually, but I watch recorded programs.
The moment I turned on the TV, the AKB48 General Election was on.
I have no interest in it at all, so I really don't know, but they were just announcing the top three.
I thought it would be good to know those names, so I looked at them for reference.
Then, the second place person said, "Someone saw a magazine with an article about AKB at a convenience store.
I saw him say, "If it's this easy, it's really easy. It's nice and easy."
"I strongly felt that it's not that easy," he said.
I don't know anything about AKB10, but after watching it for just XNUMX minutes, I understood what it meant.
I understand that.
A girl in her late teens, or maybe even in her early 10s, is probably killing tens of thousands of people.
Sit up straight, smile, and speak loudly and clearly.
Moreover, there are no scripts or PowerPoint presentations.
The responses were completely live and unstaged. I was nervous in the atmosphere of that venue.
It's amazing that we can speak without doing that.
I have interviewed many young people between the ages of 22 and 30, and even in one-on-one interviews,
I've never seen anyone who could talk like that.
If you think it's easy, try speaking for 10 minutes in front of 10 people without a script.
I think it's good. And not just with friends, but with your boss or someone higher up...
For those who are not used to it, most people will find their minds going blank.
Moreover, they have received training equal to or greater than that of professional speakers.
When speaking, you should always turn your body to the right, center, left, and all around the audience.
I'm talking while moving it.
And how to take a break... The more you panic, the faster you tend to speak, but
Speak slowly, and stop slowly when you need to.
This technique may look simple, but it is actually very difficult.
Because I cannot bear the horror of this "gap", here are some things that should never be said in a lecture:
They say "eh" repeatedly. The worst people say "eh" repeatedly after every phrase.
This is very painful for the listener, and those who are addicted to smoking will need to undergo a lot of training before they can quit.
I think it's a habit that's just as hard to break.
They are all smiling even while performing such advanced techniques. Courage, experience, training...
Unless everything comes together at a high level, it can never be carried out.
I would have been really disappointed if someone had said to me, "This is easy, right?"
It doesn't matter if it's soccer, singing, baseball, or anything else, but I like people who are working hard.
Those few minutes made me painfully aware of how easily people can criticize others.
