receiving a scholarship for the second year of junior high, Reina Yamazaki couldn't attend her
first choice school, which could be disappointing for some. However, the school she enrolled in
turned out to be a home for her. Despite not achieving scholarship at first, Yamazaki found
her friendships and studies fulfilling at the new school. According to her, taking the entrance exam
is just the beginning of the journey, not the end goal. Let's explore the start of her middle school
life through her perspective. From intense studying since summer of sixth grade to achieving
admission at Ikebunkan Junior High School, Reina Yamazaki didn't get the desired full scholarship
for admission but excelled academically and entered the advanced class in the first year.
Her father encouraged her to aim for scholarship even after enrollment and emphasized the importance
of studying hard for six years to cover university expenses. Despite not getting a scholarship for
the first year, Yamazaki maintained her focus and strived for academic excellence from sophomore
to senior year, eventually earning scholarship from second to fourth year. Though her father's
push for academic success may seem strict to some, it's clear they share a close bond beyond that.
Not attending cram schools due to time constraints, she relied on thorough self-study to
excel in exams based on class performance. In geography class, her notes were recognized by
the teacher who refrained from writing on the board, making oral instructions a key aspect of
tests. Here we have the top news regarding Nogizaka 46 for today. Next, here is tomorrow's April 21
schedule regarding Nogizaka 46. That wraps up our report on the group and individual endeavors of
Nogizaka 46. Stay tuned for more updates in the future. Next up is the Nogipedia corner.
