In cities where big stars come to perform, the atmosphere will be more or less different on the opening day.
However, Akina Nakamori doesn't like large, open venues. She focuses on performance effects and prefers to get closer to the audience. Therefore, when deciding on a venue, she almost only performs hall-level performances.
Without a large-scale concert with tens of thousands of people, it would not be able to become the focus of the entire city today. Even so, when her concert was held in Kobe, there were still long queues around the venue starting early in the morning.
Although the venue is only open to accommodate about 7,000 people, in order to buy the surrounding teams, from morning to night, I don’t know how many times the number of spectators entered the venue.
The area near the performance venue has tacitly become a gathering place for fans on this day.
If a small venue adds celebrities, it will be difficult to get a ticket. But as long as you have strong connections, you can get a good seat ticket out of thin air on the day of the performance.
...Well, actually, concerts often reserve a few seats to deal with emergencies.
Although Shinichi Iwahashi's schedule was a last-minute decision, he wanted to see Akina Nakamori's concert and was a die-hard connection, so it was no problem.
Over in Osaka, regarding the matter of Misa Saeki, he and Tetsuro Oda acted separately. What can be said has been said, and efforts have been made that should be made. They are just waiting for Misa Saeki and her family to contact them and inform them of the final decision. In this case, it doesn't matter.
Reasons for continuing to stay. After the separation, Shinichi Iwahashi stopped by to visit Kobe, while Tetsuro Oda returned to Tokyo.
The concert had been rehearsed yesterday, and there was plenty of time during the day today. In the morning, Shinichi Iwahashi came to meet Akina Nakamori, and the two went shopping together.
There was a performance in the afternoon, just in case, so I couldn't let Topo Star go out to play like this, so I naturally followed him closely. In this way, Nakamori Akina seemed a bit disappointed.
Iwahashi Shinichi asked Omoto to rest assured that he would definitely bring the person back to the hotel on time.
In any case, this young man is also an agent, so he is reliable. What's more, Akina Nakamori has made up her mind, and it's not like an old agent can easily sway her.
In this way, Iwahashi Shinichi made a guest appearance as Nakamori Akina's manager and acted with her.
"It's better to come out as two people." Nakamori Akina got her way and said willful words like a child.
Iwahashi Shinichi realized from this that being her manager was not an easy job. Of course, he already knew it well earlier when the two had a big quarrel in the recording studio.
"It's really hard, Omoto-san." He sighed with emotion.
Akina Nakamori snorted, a little unconvinced, "Are you saying that I am too willful?"
It would be a big deal if he replied "yes". When Iwahashi Shin thought of this, he laughed with joy. He didn't need to answer, this reaction already gave the answer.
Nakamori Akina herself also laughed, "...When I go back, I will bring a gift for Omoto-san."
"Then it's time for me to give you one." Shinichi Iwahashi said seriously.
Akina Nakamori couldn't help but laugh at him, "Isn't it weird that two people each get one?"
Iwahashi Shin nodded and replied, then we have to send the same portion."
"It's something a couple would do." Nakamori Akina said this, and her proud arrogance suddenly weakened. She smiled implicitly, as if she had really become a virtuous wife at this moment.
The aquamarine ring worn by Akina Nakamori on her right hand sparkled in the sunlight.
In the end, the two of them bought gifts for the old agent and the accompanying staff. In the morning, before the street became lively, these two generous people first brought the first gift of the day to the shop assistants.
A lot of work.
The streets of Kobe give people a completely different feeling from Tokyo.
When I was in it, looking at the displays in the store, whether it was clothes or accessories, it seemed that the city scenery of Kobe had given it a different mood. Even if I had seen the same things in Tokyo, I still felt that they were displayed here.
It's extraordinarily different. Of course, when you really get closer, you can't help but take a look at the unique sentiment that covers it.
If I really want to say it, browsing itself is more enjoyable than buying something.
Therefore, although they were generous when buying gifts for the staff, in fact, neither of them bought anything for themselves. Shinichi Iwahashi also noticed that his girlfriend was enjoying the process of shopping.
For boyfriends who are in front of each other, it is very refreshing to accompany them for sightseeing without any purpose. My legs are sore from walking too much, and it is a pleasant feeling to save money on my wallet.
Wandering around the streets so freely, it's hard to avoid being recognized
Until now, Iwahashi Shin has never felt that his face could be considered a celebrity. Several times, the eyes of passers-by first stopped on his face, and then moved to the faces of the people walking with him.
Before coming out, I acted like I wanted to be a good agent, but in the end, I was actually holding myself back.
Nakamori Akina didn't mind at all. She was recognized and greeted the other person with a smile. After saying hello, she quickly pulled Iwahashi Shinichi away from the crowd to avoid being surrounded.
After walking a little further, she whispered to Shinichi Iwahashi, "I'm quite like your manager, Shinichi."
She was smiling, as if she was eager to try this new identity. Iwahashi Shinichi had no choice but to nod her head and said seriously, "Indeed, if you practice a little more, you will definitely be an ace agent."
It's okay not to say that, but if you say that, it will only encourage Nakamori Akina's arrogance.
The next moment, Iwahashi Shinichi was dragged into the store by the newly promoted ace agent, and he watched her choose a hat with great interest. Nakamori Akina, an ace agent who was only certified by Iwahashi Shinichi, disguised herself on the spot.
of big stars.
…
The concert started at four o'clock in the afternoon. In the afternoon, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori returned to the hotel where she was staying on time. When they went out, they were still big stars and "agents", but when they came back, they were completely different.
The old agent has rich experience and can guess what happened at a glance.
"I'm back on time, Omoto-san." Nakamori Akina's tone was like a child who behaved like an elder after doing something bad.
Daben couldn't help but thank her in turn, "I even bought a gift specially."
"Shinichi and I gave this to everyone." Akina Nakamori said, "Thank you Omoto-san and everyone for your care."
Omoto subconsciously looked at Shinichi Iwahashi. The young producer had a smile in his eyes and stood silently next to Akina Nakamori. With this look, he seemed to be acquiescing to something.
From here to the concert venue, Iwahashi Shinichi got into Nakamori Akina's car and followed him from the parking lot to the backstage. Before the performance started, he entered through the related person's passage.
When big stars come to hold concerts here, it is inevitable that people with connections will come to visit backstage.
It was really unexpected to see Shinichi Iwahashi here.
