Shinichi Iwahashi also saw the large cardboard box filled with letters from fans that Akina Nakamori brought back.
I can only say that she is worthy of being a Taopusida, and she is quite popular. However, she also reads so many letters seriously, no wonder she is popular.
But Akina Nakamori never feels that reading fan letters is a reward for her fans. On the contrary, she feels from the bottom of her heart that she has gained real and supportive power from her fans in this way.
However, for fans, probably the very act of sending the letter to Akina Nakamori is also gaining strength from their idol.
When Shinichi Iwahashi returned home in the evening and saw the letter that Akina Nakamori talked about on the phone at noon, he couldn't help but think so.
This fan letter is very long. At first glance, it seems eloquent. But after reading only a few lines, you can find that this is not a passionate letter expressing love for Nakamori Akina. Not only that, but read it carefully.
, the entire letter is filled with the unique calmness and indifferent sadness that is unique when confiding to someone.
"Akina-san, I want to tell you. When "Lovely Season" was broadcast, I gained a friendship. It seems like the story of Kanon-chan and Naoko-chan..."
The TV series was aired in the spring season, and now the winter season has entered the preparation stage.
It happened for a while.
"In my mind, I pictured it as a mackerel meeting tuna."
The girl who wrote the letter claims that she is an ordinary mackerel. This is not so much a letter written by a fan to an idol, but perhaps more like a drifting bottle thrown into the sea.
I hope that someone can see it, but I also hope that it will not be seen. I hope that it will be picked up, but I am also prepared for it to drift in the sea.
Of course, in a sense, writing a letter to an idol is like throwing a bottle into the ocean.
Mackerel and Tuna have an intersection because of the TV series "Cute Season". When the two heroines in the TV series became friends, they also got close to each other.
Once upon a time, the mackerel girl was immersed in such a dramatic encounter, imagining that the TV series was projected into reality. In her heart, she felt secretly happy about such a fate, until the bubble-like dreamy imagination was revealed. It turned out that the so-called projection into reality
, is just an imaginary reality. The real "reality" is bloody.
The heroines in TV dramas can save themselves from danger at any time. Even if they can't, they can still bear the separation of life and death and leave the seeds of hope.
However, the reality is so cruel that even separation after a chance encounter is unbearable. Even the expectation that the other party may be safe and sound cannot be imagined calmly.
After the bubble-like dreamy imagination was shattered, the cold and bloody reality was revealed. After the mackerel girl realized the ridiculousness and frivolity of her original thoughts, she missed her missing friend even more deeply.
It would be great if her friend was really a tuna, saying goodbye to the mackerel she met by chance and returning to the world of tuna. However, her friend was not a tuna.
You have entered the world of tuna, but you are not a tuna. To survive and to cover yourself up means endless dangers.
…
"...In this way, I wrote such a strange-looking letter. Akina-san, are there Kanon and Naoko in reality? When I was excited about meeting her, I thought we were the real version.
"Lovely Season", my colleagues in the company also said so (laughs)"
"But now, I think, in reality, there is no such thing as Kanon and Naoko, and there is no such life."
"However, I'm not saying that the TV series is bad. On the contrary, because there are no Kanon and Naoko in reality, that's why I like "Lovely Season" the most. Thanks to it, I have a friendship."
The girl who wrote the letter, that "mackerel", her name is Miho Koyama.
Iwahashi Shinichi read the letter carefully. Although in some places, Miho Koyama deliberately went to Lake Mo, the general situation was already very clear.
Another girl she called "Tuna" was involved in a loan dispute and the like, and is now missing.
Miho Koyama missed her friend and wanted to do something for her, but she was helpless.
This fan letter written to Akina Nakamori is not an expression of love for her idol, nor does she seem to expect any response.
However, just this calm statement makes it difficult not to care about this girl named Xiaoshan Miho and her friend who faces the dark and boundless sea alone.
Not only Shinichi Iwahashi was concerned, but Akina Nakamori was also concerned.
In other words, it was precisely because Akina Nakamori couldn't let go after reading it that she made the phone call at noon. It was a lie to quarrel with him and tell him about the letter and let him read it too.
real.
Iwahashi Shinichi finished reading the letter, but Nakamori Akina hadn't come back yet. These days, Topo Star's schedule was much fuller than his. He put Kenta in a harness and took the spoiled dog out for a walk.
I have a drink at a store near my home and a water bowl prepared for Kenta.
The peaceful and stable life and what Miho Koyama described in her mind are like two different worlds.
In fact, before Xiaoshan Miho met her friend, she could not imagine that there was another strange world. After the people from the other side came to this shore and formed a deep bond with them, she could no longer have feelings for the people she had never met.
The world passed by was indifferent.
The coquettish puppy is led out and brought back.
Shinichi Iwahashi was used to walking his dog. When he got home, he wiped its feet and combed its hair skillfully. Raising a puppy was a wonderful thing, but taking care of it was really troublesome.
Finally, when even the puppy himself became impatient, he finally took care of things. As soon as Iwahashi Shin released his hand, Kenta immediately started to act like a spoiled brat again, completely different from the coquettish guy who was acting shamelessly outside just now and refused to leave for a hug.
After taking care of the puppy, Iwahashi Shinichi put the ice bucket and whiskey on the tray, got into the study, and read the TRF debut plan he brought back, while waiting for Nakamori Akina to return.
Tetsuya Komuro plans to build a mobile disco stage-style dance troupe. During the promotion period, he will definitely cooperate with domestic discos and send singles to discos to play.
The bubble burst and disco was doing better than ever.
Nowadays, Kuai disco in Wangan has the best market. As long as you pay an admission fee of 1,500 yen, you can get short-term happiness, forget your own troubles, and leave the troubled social reality behind. It is difficult to
It does not attract large crowds of people.
After all, cheap and effective happiness is particularly popular in recessionary times.
However, after promoting through disco, how to attract the audience's attention to TRF and take ownership of the created popularity is another matter.
The production of the combination is left to Tetsuya Komuro. What Shinichi Iwahashi has to do is how to let more people see the combination produced by Tetsuya Komuro, and further, let more people see Tetsuya Komuro.
The former Iwahashi Shinichi is now a character like Komuro Tetsuya. Occasionally, such an association flashes through his mind, which makes Iwahashi Shinichi feel a little emotional. Of course, the fleeting association often disappears in an instant.
What looks similar is often an unreliable illusion. What matters is the future.
…
It was almost twelve o'clock when Akina Nakamori came back. She saw that Shinichi Iwahashi's shoes were not arranged neatly at the entrance, so she straightened them for him first.
She still remembered the letter she had read during the day. Knowing that Shinichi Iwahashi was at home, she wanted to go find him before changing her clothes.
Before she could take action, Iwahashi Shinichi came over. Nakamori Akina looked up and said before he could speak: "I'm back." This sentence made her couldn't help but laugh.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't notice what was funny, so he replied habitually: "Welcome back." Then he asked, "Would you like something to eat?" He was used to it, and mentioned what Akina Nakamori had told him before.
In fact, there is nothing at home except semi-finished products and a few side dishes to go with wine.
Akina Nakamori knew it well and didn't say anything, "I'm not hungry. I'm full after dinner. If I eat more now, I won't dare to step on the scale tomorrow."
She said it exaggeratedly, which made Shinichi Iwahashi laugh. Akina Nakamori took the opportunity to lean into his arms, closed her eyes, and felt Shinichi Iwahashi's arms around her waist, and he picked her up easily.
In this way, Akina Nakamori recently said that she has gained weight than before.
If two people live together, they can eat and sleep well.
The little dog who loves to join in the fun heard the commotion, fearing that he would be left out, and hurried over, jumping up and down to pull at the hanging skirt of Nakamori Akina.
Akina Nakamori laughed out loud at the busy puppy. She patted her boyfriend who was doing his best and came down to hug the puppy. As expected, whoever can act like a spoiled child is the focus of the family.
She held the puppy in her arms, recovered from the play with Shinichi Iwahashi as soon as she entered the door, remembered the thing she remembered, and raised her head, "That letter..."
Iwahashi Shinichi answered her, "I have read it."
"It seems to be a somewhat heavy letter." Iwahashi Shinichi looked at Nakamori Akina's expression.
She put Kenta down, touched the puppy's head, and stood up, "I don't know what to say. After reading it, I wanted to say 'very touched', but I felt that such words were too frivolous and I couldn't bear to say them."
if."
Akina Nakamori went to wash her hands and rinse her mouth first, and changed her clothes. Shinichi Iwahashi went to get a cup and mixed a glass of whiskey for her, "How about a drink?" He deliberately teased her, "Just a drink, it won't affect your tomorrow.
Get on the scale."
"How stingy." Akina Nakamori commented seriously.
Shin Iwahashi took back the hand that handed him the cup, "If you don't want it, forget it."
"You're even more stingy now." When she was quarreling with Iwahashi Shinichi, Nakamori Akina's mind was spinning very quickly. She held Iwahashi Shinichi's hand, put her lips close to it, and took a quick sip to successfully take back the hand.
This wine glass is full of pride.
"Don't you always say 'no drinking'?" Nakamori Akina took advantage of her and behaved well.
Iwahashi Shinichi returned her words unchanged, "Who is stingy?"
It seemed that neither of them had any ambition. Such an answer was so readily available that no one was willing to say it.
Akina Nakamori drank wine slowly, and Shinichi Iwahashi also picked up the wine glass.
He thought for a while and then suddenly mentioned, "Didn't the emperor of our family accept an interview with a magazine before? About the loan dispute."
Akina Nakamori said "Ah", "I remember."
"After the magazine was published, Asako told me that an unexpected number of customers came to consult." Iwahashi Shinichi told Nakamori Akina about the follow-up that she didn't know about.
Akina Nakamori opened her eyes wide, like a student in class. She may not be an top student, but she must be the kind who works hard.
"My sister, although she looks cold, is actually a very reliable person." Iwahashi Shinichi definitely did not say anything good for Asako, so he made such a statement.
"Chaozi said that in this era, we can reach that point. The responsibility cannot be attributed solely to these people. They brought it upon themselves."
Now, after reading the letter between mackerel and tuna, and thinking of Asako's words, Shinichi Iwahashi truly understands the meaning of these words. At the same time, he also feels from the bottom of his heart that his sister is a good person.
"That's what Asako-san thinks." Akina Nakamori was actually surprised.
Although Akina Nakamori had told them in person that Asako was being interviewed. However, Asako, who seemed so inhumane, made Akina Nakamori feel awkward in front of her, thinking that she was just doing business.
At this moment, after listening to Shinichi Iwahashi's words, thinking about the fan letter, and Akina Nakamori thinking about Asako, she saw a trace of humanity in that elite aunt who seemed unkind and difficult to get along with.
"Let me just say, Asako just seems difficult to get along with." Iwahashi Shinichi heard the underlying meaning of Nakamori Akina's words and laughed. At this moment, he really said good things for Asako.
In fact, the really difficult person to get along with is the all-around charming brother-in-law, Hiroyuki Narita.
"Asako-san must have seen many things like this in the letters." Akina Nakamori seemed to be feeling emotional.
Knowing that Chaozi was not as cold-hearted as she seemed, she imagined this eldest sister with the greatest kindness. Maybe this change seemed a bit unsound, but once she was sure that a person was a good person, she would wholeheartedly
Trust her, Akina Nakamori has such a temper.
Did Chaozi focus on this because he had seen too much?
Iwahashi Shinichi thought that if he asked Chaozi like this, he would definitely get her look at a boring person. However, at least it was certain that the "tuna" in the letter would fall into such a situation, and he could not just
Blame her for being vain.
It is precisely because of this that she fell into such a situation, which made it difficult for them to let go after reading the letter.
However, if you care about this letter, what will happen next?
Want to find Xiaoshan Miho, and further, help her find her tuna friend? What about after that?
Not to mention anything else, at this moment, even Miho Koyama’s mood in writing this letter is a little bit unclear.
Is this a nostalgia for the old days after a friendship ended? Or is it something else?
If you act rashly, you may do bad things with good intentions, causing trouble to Miho Koyama or her tuna friend.
The reason why Akina Nakamori felt uncomfortable after reading the letter and called Shinichi Iwahashi specifically was probably because she didn't know what to do and felt that it would be impossible not to do anything.
Now that they were talking about Asako, an idea suddenly came to Nakamori Akina's mind. However, when the idea came up, she subconsciously hesitated, not sure whether she could do it.
Can she ask questions or even think of solutions on behalf of the person who wrote the letter? Or does she want to do this just to satisfy her curiosity?
However, after reading such a letter, if you do nothing and just say "I'm so touched", as Akina Nakamori herself said, it would be too light.
After a pause, he said, "Tell me, can we show this letter to Zisang?"
Iwahashi Shinichi's expression was subtle, "That's what I was thinking too." He said and smiled, "It seems that we thought of them together."
"Do you really think so?" Akina Nakamori confirmed with him.
Iwahashi Shinichi took it for granted, "Apart from this, what other ideas can you have?" After showing it to Asako first, he could then consider the next thing.
Maybe something will be done, maybe, pouring a ladle of cold water on the child, this matter will be over.
"If it's Asako-san..." Akina Nakamori felt a little relieved.
Shinichi Iwahashi looked at the relief on her face and was so worried about her that he wanted to take back the good words he had said for Asako before. Seeing Akina Nakamori like this, not only did he not need his help, he also had to worry about what happened to Nakamori.
Ming Cai thought too much about Chao Zi, and then she was poured cold water on her, which made her feel uncomfortable.
In the final analysis, even if Chaozi is a good person, it is impossible for her to change her fundamental principles of conduct.
And her usual style is actually not in harmony with Akina Nakamori.
But Akina Nakamori neither understands Asako nor thinks about these issues.
She said the words and felt comforted in her heart. In any case, this fan letter that troubled her was sent to her. At this moment, she was able to do something for this letter, which finally made her feel at ease.
Iwahashi Shinichi put away his worries and told her, "I went to their house for dinner before, and I also mentioned that next time, we will entertain my sister and brother-in-law."
"Would you like to entertain Asako-san and Narita-san?" Nakamori Akina was eager to give it a try.
Compared to Asako's standard-to-boring cooking skills, Akina Nakamori's cooking skills clearly have the upper hand. Shinichi Iwahashi hadn't even decided to invite his sister and brother-in-law, he was already mentally appreciating his girlfriend's cooking skills.
Become proud.
"We haven't invited either of them since we moved."
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know whether he was infected by Nakamori Akina's enthusiasm or because he had full confidence in Nakamori Akina's cooking skills, so he was motivated to entertain his sister and brother-in-law at home.
…
It's not because I'm infected by enthusiasm, nor because I'm confident, but because this is the only time that's suitable.
Akina Nakamori will have to prepare for her unfinished tour starting next week, and I'm afraid she won't have time to spare on her rest days. Besides, the winter months are about to enter, and the season when various receptions are packed with arrangements is coming soon. By then, I'm afraid,
It's not easy for four people to even sit together.
If you delay it for too long, this letter will really turn into a letter that you don’t know what to do with and can only put aside.
Although it is not impossible to make an appointment with Asako with a letter, first of all, this letter is special. It is a letter from a fan of Akina Nakamori. It is not appropriate for Shinichi Iwahashi to give it to her directly. Secondly, after moving, there is no
Having entertained her sister and brother-in-law, Akina Nakamori finally changed her impression of Asako, and she just wanted to keep up the good work.
He was worried that Nakamori Akina would be thrown cold water on him if he was too enthusiastic about Asako, but Iwahashi Shinichi also hoped that the two could get along well. Asako was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so it was worth getting along with him.
Besides, given Akina Nakamori’s personality, she wants to please her parents-in-law and get along well with her aunt.
This week, it seemed a bit hasty to call Asako and invite her and Hiroyuki Narita to visit her home. However, after Iwahashi Shinichi sent the invitation, Asako did not shirk, "This Sunday night?"
"If there is no problem with your schedule with Narita-san," Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Listening to his awkward words, Chao Zi felt that it was meaningless for his brother to deliberately play such loopholes with him.
In fact, what's the point of saying it's airtight?
The mere fact of sending an invitation in a hurry and suddenly inviting the couple to dinner was telling Chaozi that this invitation was not simple.
It's not so much that Shinichi Iwahashi said something awkwardly as it was that he did it deliberately.
"I understand." Asako agreed, flipping through the itinerary, "I'll tell Narita later... Today is Thursday."
Shinichi Iwahashi answered, "Akina and I still have three days to prepare to welcome you."
"Three days?" Chao Zi began to feel funny as he listened to his brother's full of loopholes and self-exposure. At this moment, how could he not understand that he said this on purpose?
"You are really sloppy." Chaozi complained.
Iwahashi Shinichi felt that the word his sister really wanted to say was "boring" rather than "sloppy". More or less, it could be said that Chaozi was merciful.
"Don't worry." Iwahashi Shinichi assured his sister, "Although I don't have much time, I am full of confidence."
Chaozi was a little wary, "Isn't it you who cooks it yourself?"
"That's not true." Iwahashi Shinichi quickly denied, "I am responsible for inviting guests."
Chao Zi teased him, "I thought I wanted to taste your craftsmanship."
"The invitation part is also very important." Iwahashi Shinichi took credit for himself. If Asako didn't agree with him, he stopped, "Forget it this time, next time, I will be the chef."
However, Asako obviously did not have a sibling relationship with Iwahashi Shinichi that could tolerate his cooking skills.
…
On Sunday night, Chaozi and Narita Hiroyuki came to their appointment on time.
Three days were enough for Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina to work together to make all the preparations. After Nakamori Akina decided on the menu, an assistant went to run errands and buy all the needed ingredients.
.
Although entertaining Asako and Hiroyuki Narita was a last-minute idea, it was not rushed.
Kenta, the familiar puppy, only barked twice at Asako and Hiroyuki Narita, who were visiting for the first time. Not long after, he ran to the guests' feet in a flattering manner. He was a spoiled puppy.
Such is the character.
Chaozi has never been interested in pets since she was a child. When she was in elementary school, she took the turn to be the small animal committee member, and she must have been depressed for a long time. She didn't find a puppy that came to her feet acting coquettishly cute, only fluffy.
The animals are dirty.
Hiroyuki Narita, on the other hand, has always had the same attitude as "the cutest children are pets who don't have to take care of themselves". When the puppy came to act like a spoiled child, he responded happily and played with Kenta. Just look at this gentle and kind treatment of the little one.
With his dog-like appearance, someone must think he is a good father.
Such a couple is quite interesting to a certain extent.
When visiting his sister and brother-in-law's house, Iwahashi Shinichi sat in the living room with Hiroyuki Narita and chatted while waiting for dinner to start. Iwahashi Shinichi didn't feel uncomfortable at all. But at home, he couldn't sit still and always thought about the kitchen.
The progress over there. This is probably because I am used to going there to join in the fun while Akina Nakamori is cooking.
However, in front of his sister and brother-in-law, he had no intention of performing the scene of being kicked out of the kitchen because he was in the way.
…
Nakamori Akina's cooking skills made even a reserved person like Asako soften after tasting it. She expressed her thoughts after tasting it seriously, "It's a very homely taste, but it's not
ordinary."
It is better to say that it is a reflection, but it is a serious way of praising her cooking skills.
Asako said this in a normal way, telling the truth, and she didn't feel that she was overly showing any kindness. But when Akina Nakamori heard it, she was filled with joy and smiled broadly, "Thank you, you appreciate it."
Chaozi wanted to say that she was not the kind of person who would exaggerate. But if she really said that, this big star would definitely not be able to step down. Such a thought came to her mind, but she had no words.
Iwahashi Shinichi stretched out his hand and asked her for a plate, "I'll get it for you, sister."
At his own home, he and Akina Nakamori entertained his sister and brother-in-law. Iwahashi Shinichi looked like a man of the house. Asako saw his younger brother's appearance and felt for the first time that he looked a bit like an office worker.
Although Shin Iwahashi calls himself an office worker all day long, his normal appearance and expression are far from that of an office worker.
Compared to his wife, Hiroyuki Narita is more cordial, or in other words, it is a polite exaggeration, "Although Akina-san is famous for his cooking skills, to be honest, I didn't expect him to be such a great cook."
He teased his brother-in-law, "Our Mr. Shen Yi is really lucky."
Asako's cooking skills are not very good. However, Narita Hiroyuki doesn't care at all. If Narita Hiroyuki's theory is applied, Asako is also very lucky.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and didn't answer, and handed Asako's plate back.
This expression, in Narita Hiroyuki's eyes, felt that his brother-in-law's contented look was as if his brain had failed when he fell in love. It was annoying to look at, and he wanted to ridicule him, "What a lucky man."
GENZO's audition meeting is over, and the news that Shinichi Iwahashi fully supports Tetsuya Komuro is about to spread throughout the industry. Hiroyuki Narita's eyes have not left the cooperation progress of the combination of Shinichi Iwahashi and Tetsuya Komuro.
In his heart, he secretly mocked his brother-in-law for being out of his mind, but Hiroyuki Narita knew very well that this brother-in-law had so many ideas, and whoever really underestimated him would be the one who was out of his mind.
Narita Hiroyuki pulled Iwahashi Shinichi to talk about this and that. Whenever the two brothers-in-law and brother-in-law got together, they seemed to have endless things to talk about. Of course, it must all be business.
Chaozi was on the side and reminded, "So, is today a reception?"
"That's not the case." Hiroyuki Narita denied immediately. He thought quickly and picked up the wine glass, "Anyway, let's use this glass to thank the chef today."
…
Iwahashi Shinichi actually said it quite clearly. Chaozi knew it well and had long understood that this meal was not for free. However, in the past few years, they have interacted with this younger brother, and they have already understood their respective personalities quite well.
.
With Shinichi Iwahashi's personality, he would definitely not wait for her with meaningless things.
In fact, Chaozi didn't say it with his mouth, but in his heart, he felt that this younger brother was trustworthy. He was not very reliable in the past, but now, he can get along with him with confidence.
Sure enough, during the second half of dinner, Shinichi Iwahashi talked about private loan disputes.
This topic made Narita Hiroyuki feel bored at first. However, because of the scene, he naturally did not show a disappointed look. However, the person who was talking endlessly just now showed his attitude by being silent on this topic.
In fact, in the past few months, housing prices have fallen, bubbles have burst, and the future looks uncertain. Many people just move forward with this era, and suddenly they fall from the clouds and disappear.
Narita Hiroyuki is not ignorant of these, nor is he unaware that those who fall into the quagmire may not only blame themselves for being careless. However, for those who follow through and do their best to achieve their goals and fight to the end to become the winner.
Hiroyuki Narita said he couldn't accept this.
In other words, if he accepts this reality, then what he works hard for will lose its meaning.
Of course, the three people present here all know how Narita Hiroyuki views people involved in loan disputes. At this time, they also respect his stay away from the topic and will not ask him what he thinks.
Iwahashi Shinichi asked Asako, and Asako answered patiently. Some of this patience came from the intuition that he had an ulterior motive for saying these words.
Thinking of this, Chaozi glanced at Akina Nakamori subconsciously.
When Shinichi Iwahashi sent the invitation, he had already told her that the protagonist this time was Akina Nakamori. Asako guessed that the topic was related to Akina Nakamori.
When he looked over, he found that Akina Nakamori was looking at him seriously.
Being stared at like this, Asako felt a little embarrassed and moved her gaze to Iwahashi Shinichi's face.
At this time, Nakamori Akina suddenly spoke, "Asako-san is doing something very remarkable."
After she said this, Chao Zi looked away and subconsciously looked back with an incredible expression.
Chao Zi never thought that one day he would be called "amazing" with this attitude and tone.
