Both of them were asleep, and suddenly the blanket came over them, wondering what was going on.
At this time, Chieko's voice sounded outside the door, "Well said, Shinichi-kun." She opened the sliding door a little and greeted the two people in the living room, "I don't want to eavesdrop, but it's already noon."
Iwahashi Shinichi jokingly replied, "You heard it at the right time."
Hearing what he said, Nakamori Akina glanced at him, pretending to be disgusted.
Chieko took in all these interactions and joked along with Shinichi Iwahashi, "Thank you very much for having such a good impression of me, but if you really bully Akina-chan, as a mother, you won't be punished by a few
Just say something nice and move it forward."
As her mother spoke for herself, Nakamori Akina was smiling and full of airs, just like an ugly kitten showing off her power. Her innocent look made both Iwahashi Shinichi and Chieko laugh.
"Mother."
Nakamori Akina looked at Chieko and announced to her, "Shinichi and I are planning to get married." She couldn't wait to share the joy of a lifelong marriage with her mother.
Chieko was not surprised. The marriage between these two people was expected. She was just waiting for them to talk about marriage. There were no surprises, only the joy and relief of "finally bearing fruit".
Shinichi Iwahashi straightened his body and lowered his head to Chieko, "Please agree to hand Akina over to me."
He solemnly asked for a salute. Seeing this, Chieko bowed her head and returned the salute. When she was about to say something, her face was already full of smiles, "Our daughter, please take good care of her from now on."
"Although Akina-chan has some shortcomings and may cause you trouble from time to time, as a mother, I can guarantee that Akina-chan is a wonderful child..." Chieko blinked and was moved by the scene at this moment.
Iwahashi Shinichi agreed, "Yes. I know that Akina is someone worth spending a lifetime with."
Akina Nakamori stood aside, looking at her mother and boyfriend who were bowing their heads to each other. She felt happy, but she couldn't help but have a sore nose. Her eyelids were swollen and heavy, and her eyes were a little dry. She lowered her head, listening to the conversation between the two people, and she didn't know.
Unconsciously, my eyes were moist.
At this time, the tears soaking his eyes actually relieved the discomfort.
…
In the first month of this year, Shinichi Iwahashi returned to his hometown in Shizuoka alone. Unlike last year, he came back with Akina Nakamori. The purpose was to explain his marriage to Akina Nakamori to his parents and to discuss the meeting between the Iwahashi family and the Nakamori family.
After entering the house, Shinichi Iwahashi saw two pairs of shoes, a man's and a woman's, at the entrance, and knew that Asako and Hiroyuki Narita were also back.
Mother came to the entrance to greet her, and Shinichi Iwahashi greeted her, "Happy New Year, mother."
"Are Asako and Narita brother-in-law here too?" Iwahashi Shin asked her as he handed the coat he took off to his mother's hand.
"In the past few years, you have always come back on the same day, just like you made an appointment."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "That's not an agreement...it seems to be a coincidence."
In fact, he knew well that Asako and Narita Hiroyuki would come over on this day. The couple's plan was so perfect that it would not change easily, let alone any whim. Since it was like this in previous years, it would not change this year either.
.
As soon as he entered the living room, Hiroyuki Narita greeted him, "Shinichi-kun is here."
When they were busy at the end of the year, Shinichi Iwahashi never went to his sister and brother-in-law's home. They hadn't seen each other for a while. Hiroyuki Narita's face had become fatter and flushed, and he looked like he was in a happy mood.
My sister is still the same as before, and even her greetings are as polite and reserved as ever. Between the two of them, the elder sister looks distant, but the brother-in-law always looks very friendly. If you don't know their relationship, I'm afraid I'm going to get lost in my character.
For his father Masaaki Iwahashi, this year is no different from last year. His hometown in Shizuoka is Furui Muha. After seeing this year, it seems that he has seen the past ten years and the next ten years at the same time.
Shinichi Iwahashi saluted his father, and Shoaki Iwahashi said "Oh", thinking of Akina Nakamori who followed him to the door last year.
This year, Masaaki Iwahashi has been mentally preparing since New Year's Eve for the possibility of seeing the female idol again in the first month of the year. Compared with himself who is worried about everything, his wife is calm and calm, as if she warmly welcomes anyone who comes. response.
"Excessive tension will damage one's body and spirit." Iwahashi Chiyo even has room to ridicule her husband.
Masaaki Iwahashi moved his lips and wanted to say, "Isn't it superfluous for you to mock your husband?"
Even so, Iwahashi Masaaki himself believes that he does not hate or reject Nakamori Akina.
My first impression of her was not bad, but I still felt uncomfortable. However, I made some mental preparations, but Akina Nakamori didn't come with me, and Masaaki Iwahashi felt a little disappointed.
Although Narita Hiroyuki could cope with his father-in-law who spoke so coldly and even killed him, after all, after Shinichi Iwahashi arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and could finally put back all the effort he had exerted.
Brother-in-law and brother-in-law were sitting together and talking.
When his son came back, Iwahashi Shoaki no longer had to go to battle to talk to his son-in-law in person. He was very happy and relaxed. He flipped through the newspaper loudly, but still listened to the conversation between his son and son-in-law with one ear.
When these two people get together, the conversation always turns to matters in the entertainment industry.
"...Manufacturers' advertising budgets for the second quarter now seem to be shrinking a lot." Hiroyuki Narita shared his information with Shinichi Iwahashi.
Dentsu is responsible for controlling the company's advertising budget. Whether the market is good or bad, it is the first to know.
"So, the bursting of the bubble is inevitable?" Iwahashi Masaki interjected.
It was Narita Hiroyuki who answered him, "It seems like this now." Narita Hiroyuki deliberately said with a hint of regret in his tone, "I have to say 'goodbye' to the good market before."
Shinichi Iwahashi heard this and replied with a smile, "How could Dentsu MAN's market situation be bad?"
On the contrary, the reduction of advertising budget will also increase the authority of Dentsu MAN.
"I'd like to lend you some good advice." Hiroyuki Narita smiled, picked up the wine bottle and filled it up for Shinichi Iwahashi, "I'm nothing, Shinichi-kun, your market is worth looking forward to."
He was talking about TRF's debut. The group is scheduled to debut in late January, and from the 8th, the related promotions will begin with great fanfare. GENZO has allocated sufficient funds for TRF's debut, although it is not as good as that of Big Black Motorcycle. It was an astonishing figure of over 100 million yen when Ji debuted, but in terms of newcomers’ debut specifications, it was definitely the first.
Today is different from the past. The public lacks the patience to follow the scent of wine and walk into the alley. Obtaining music has become a simple matter. The world's trends are displayed in record stores, and countless styles are waiting to be selected.
.
Nowadays, we can no longer wait for word-of-mouth to ferment. Instead, we have to bring the music we want to release directly in front of the public and put it within reach of the public. Naturally, it becomes the first choice.
Ever since Daikoku Maki's successful debut, Shinichi Iwahashi planned that in the future, any newcomers that he wanted to promote would have to arrange large-scale publicity.
Of course, in Hiroyuki Narita's view, a record company that has only been established for a few years can do something like this, which is actually showing its strength.
Seizing the opportunity of the band's popularity, and encountering the recovery of the record market and signs of greater prosperity than in the 1970s, Shinichi Iwahashi can be said to have the "right time, right place, and right people" in his hands.
In hand.
"Then I'll lend you some good advice." Shinichi Iwahashi also poured a glass for Hiroyuki Narita.
The two people started talking to each other again, and Asako heard it and felt really bored in her heart. She was thinking about getting up and leaving the living room when she heard Hiroyuki Narita say, "Speaking of which, this year is also the tenth anniversary of Akina-san's debut."
Mentioning Nakamori Akina, Asako thought of something. She reached for the wine bottle and poured some for herself. Iwahashi Masaaki saw it and said again: "Asako, you are still drinking."
Chaozi replied, "It doesn't hurt to have a drink or two."
"Our Asako drinks quite well, more than one or two drinks." Hiroyuki Narita teased his wife with a smile. After answering the joke, he returned to the topic as if nothing had happened, "It's our tenth anniversary, and we will definitely be very busy.
.”
You can think of it just by looking at the anniversary plans of other singers, including theme concerts to celebrate the anniversary, new singles and new albums, record company collections, and various variety shows. What's more, Akina Nakamori also has to take care of her work as an actor.
.
"Akina-san is the '82 Team of Flowers', right?" Hiroyuki Narita recalled, "This year, there are many people celebrating their tenth anniversary... But when it comes to battles, no one can compare to Akina-san."
After accepting the fact that Nakamori Akina was "one of our own" and that Iwahashi Shinichi's brother-in-law had a bright future, Hiroyuki Narita not only took great care of her, but also began to speak kindly of her.
Although I still can't change my tendency to occasionally use sarcastic words, I have restrained myself to some extent.
However, when Hiroyuki Narita and Shinichi Iwahashi talked about Nakamori Akina's tenth anniversary arrangements, it was not necessarily a test to confirm the brother-in-law's movements this year. It was even the brother-in-law's attitude towards Nakamori Akina.
As a result, I heard from Iwahashi Shinichi what he was concerned about.
"This year, Akina and I plan to get married." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
After saying these words, there was a moment of silence in the living room, as if the pause button had been pressed. But just after this moment, like opening a zipper, the air began to flow again.
Then, right after, Iwahashi Shoaki's words made him freeze again: "Isn't it true that you are getting married?"
Even his own daughter, Chao Zi, couldn't bear what her father said. She stood up in the cold and said, "I'll call mother over."
If we want to talk about marriage, of course Chiyo Iwahashi must be present.
As soon as Asako went out, Shinichi Iwahashi remained silent, waiting for his mother and sister to come in. Masaki Iwahashi knew he had made a mistake, lowered his head, turned the newspaper over and over in his hand, rehearsing it in his mind in advance, waiting for his wife to come over later.
, what should I say when we sit together and talk about this matter.
In order to avoid being caught by my wife in any words, she will be given a sarcastic comment that I can't even reply to.
Hiroyuki Narita was smiling, and his smile was so standard that it was like wearing a smile mask. He put the smile on his face, and slowly began to think about what might happen if Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina get married this year.
Influence.
Getting married on the 10th anniversary of debut, if this topic can be used, it will definitely detonate record sales. For the agency and the record company, this opportunity will not be missed.
Now, facing a brother-in-law who plays an important role in the recording industry, it is impossible for Narita Hiroyuki to have the idea that "marrying the top boss of another agency is asking for trouble." Similarly, Narita Hiroyuki also does not think so.
I feel that Yanyin will oppose this marriage. Anyway, even if they object, they can't stop it.
There was a noise at the door. Asako followed Chiyo Iwahashi, and mother and daughter walked in together.
His parents, sister and brother-in-law were all present. Iwahashi Shinichi said again, "The reason why I didn't invite Akina back this time is because I wanted to discuss the marriage with my father and mother."
"Mingna and I have decided to get married this year. We hope to get the blessings of our father and mother and our family members."
After listening to these words, Iwahashi Masaaki glanced at his wife next to him and said: "I see, have you decided to get married..."
He said the words he had rehearsed in his mind beforehand. Although it was a little boring, it was better than saying the wrong thing again.
Regarding a major event at home, Chiyo Iwahashi waited for her husband to finish expressing his thoughts. Although it sounded hard to guess what he meant, she spoke after her husband, "Congratulations."
She smiled and sent her blessings to Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori, who were not present.
"Then, congratulations to Shinichi, you are about to enter a new stage of life." Chiyo Iwahashi watched this son grow up, leave his hometown and run to Tokyo, and have such an almost incredible life.
Is it the wonderful opportunities in life, or does Tokyo have too many possibilities?
No matter which way it is, after leaving Shizuoka, this son has indeed started a new life. It is because of this that Chiyo Iwahashi understands more clearly that as a parent, what can be done for him so far
It is to send blessings to his life.
"Thank you." Shinichi Iwahashi lowered his head.
At this time, Hiroyuki Narita kept silent and acted as if his son-in-law was an outsider, as if he just heard about it by chance. It was a coincidence, but in fact it was almost the same.
If I hadn't happened to return to Shizuoka on the same day, I definitely wouldn't have been called back to hear Iwahashi Shinichi announce this. However, it's not necessarily true that Hiroyuki Narita didn't expect to see his brother-in-law when he visited.
.If not for this, he would not have started this topic.
Hiroyuki Narita was silent for a moment, then Chaozi spoke, "I was thinking before, when are you going to say it?"
