The current home of womenswear guru Takuji Sakamoto is Juliana Tokyo. Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't usually visit this area. Since he came here, he called Akina Nakamori and went backstage to say hello to him.
The backstage lounge was shared by many people, and the dance teachers in the store walked in and out, bending over the dressing table to touch up the lipstick that had fallen off.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina went backstage unimpeded. The teachers were quite excited to see them. Despite this, they still showed some restraint and said hello to Nakamori Akina. As for Iwahashi Shinichi, in the eyes of the teachers, they were pure
Attributes are incidental.
Juliana Tokyo is well-known, and people from all walks of life often come and go. The teachers who lead the dance are also well-informed, and they will never be rude or lose their temper.
Takuji Sakamoto was smoking contentedly. When he saw Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori coming over, he rolled the cigarette in the ashtray, put out the cigarette quite gently, waved to them with a smile, and stood up slowly.
This gesture may be more thoughtful than that of a real woman. As the saying goes, the disguised one is more watertight than the natural one.
"Sakamoto-san, excuse me." Nakamori Akina smiled.
Sakamoto Takuji smiled like a woman, "Long time no see, you two."
Takuji Sakamoto has become very close to Tetsuya Komuro recently. GENZO plans to hold a disco convention with Tetsuya Komuro as the protagonist. At that time, Takuji Sakamoto will also come to support him. Previously, at a party hosted by Tetsuya Komuro, Shinichi Iwahashi introduced him
Takuji Sakamoto met Akina Nakamori.
Today, I heard that I was going to meet "Sakamoto-san", and Nakamori Akina was very interested. Among her friends introduced to her by Iwahashi Shinichi, Nakamori Akina seemed to particularly like Sakamoto-san, who sometimes turned into a little Megumi.
.
…Maybe it’s because the old story Iwahashi Shinichi told her about when he was almost hit on by Takuji Sakamoto was so interesting.
Thinking about why Akina Nakamori likes Takuji Sakamoto so much, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but think to himself that no matter what the relationship looks like at the beginning, it will inevitably reach the stage where he wants to watch the other person lively.
He looked around the lounge, looked at the dignified Sakamoto Takuji reflected in the makeup mirror, and once again deeply admired his ethics. He is indeed a cross-dressing boss who wants to bring hope to the world, and his self-control is truly top-notch.
"Isn't Nagao-kun here today?" Shinichi Iwahashi finally came out of his admiration for Takuji Sakamoto and asked casually.
He still remembered the young man named Tomaki Nagao, who was unsmiling and seemed to be deep in thought.
"Nagao-kun? He is now following Hiroshi Fujiwara and has not performed at Juliana for a long time." Takuji Sakamoto answered.
Iwahashi Shinichi joked on him, "The disciples I finally received will go to the next family."
"That's right, so now I'm jealous of Hiroshi Fujiwara." Sakamoto Takuji followed his words and talked nonsense.
Iwahashi Shinichi was joking. In fact, he was not familiar with the name Fujiwara Hiroshi, but judging from Sakamoto Takuji's tone, he was obviously a person. Nakamori Akina, on the other hand, was curious, "Is this the Fujiwara Hiroshi from Harajuku?"
"That's the one." Sakamoto Takuji agreed, but looked at Iwahashi Shinichi, obviously explaining to him, "Does Iwahashi-kun, the fashion king of Harajuku, know about Harajuku?"
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "It sounds like a place I would never set foot in."
Places with "in" are places where subcultures gather. If a person like him, who looks outdated and out-of-date, wanders in by mistake, he might be regarded as a strange uncle by young people.
"Actually, compared to fashion, Hiroshi Fujiwara is someone I look up to as a DJ. So, rather than being jealous of Hiroshi Fujiwara for taking away my disciples, it is better to say that I am jealous of Nagao-kun for successfully following Hiroshi Fujiwara."
Takuji Sakamoto said.
However, looking at Takuji Sakamoto's casual attitude towards life, this "jealousy" is probably a joke.
Hiroshi Fujiwara is not only a well-known DJ, but also a pioneer in the Japanese rap music industry. He participated in the establishment of Japan's first hip-hop music label. In addition, he is also the "King of Ura-Harajuku Fashion" in the words of Takuji Sakamoto.
There is a group of young people who regard Fujiwara Hiroshi as a god and follow this extremely cool and popular person.
Nagao Tomaki is one of this group of young people. When he was a student, he fell in love with Hiroshi Fujiwara when he was in his hometown in Gunma Prefecture. He came to Tokyo to study at the Institute of Fashion Culture, and he was also following in Hiroshi Fujiwara's footsteps.
Now, it can be said that the dream has come true.
"It's very interesting to say - it's a pity that Nakamori-san didn't let Nakamori-san also meet that Nagao-kun." Sakamoto Takuji shared it with the two of them as an interesting thing, "This Nagao-kun looks exactly like Fujiwara Hiroshi, and he was also called
I was given the nickname 'NIGO' (Fujiwara Hiroshi No. 2)."
Nakamori Akina listened to the excitement and expressed her thoughts seriously, "This is probably the so-called fate."
Takuji Sakamoto felt that her expression was more interesting than what she said. After laughing, he couldn't help but sigh, "The encounters in life are really interesting."
The person who admired Hiroshi Fujiwara came to be with Hiroshi Fujiwara as he wished. Not only that, the two of them looked quite similar, as if they were destined to be destined. Such a life encounter is not magical.
However, for Takuji Sakamoto, having such emotion is because he feels that his life is also very interesting.
I don’t remember the day when I suddenly woke up and wanted to perform on stage dressed as a woman. The band I once worked for, Mimi CLUB, became very popular and became the representative of “performance bands”. The video of the concert even set an unprecedented record.
A record with a sales volume of millions. Before Mimi CLUB, no singer’s concert video could sell as well as this.
The word "performance band" was casually mentioned, and temporary dancer Shinichi Iwahashi, who was hired at a salary of 600 yen an hour, became a big shot in the industry.
People around him broke out one after another, making Takuji Sakamoto almost subconsciously curious about the future development of this young man who once worked with him and then became a disciple of Hiroshi Fujiwara.
Compared to Mimi CLUB or Shinichi Iwahashi, Sakamoto Takuji is unknown. But the people who appear around him shine in various ways, making him feel that, as an observer, his life is very interesting.

…
The three of them were chatting happily, and Shinichi Iwahashi suggested that after Takuji Sakamoto's performance tonight, they go have a drink together and dance somewhere else, waiting for twelve o'clock to arrive.
Waiting for twelve o'clock at night, not because there is a Cinderella who wants to leave quickly or leave a glass slipper, but because Akina Nakamori has to shoot next.
She got off work early today because the filming of the next TV series was to be held at three o'clock in the morning. The filming location was in Gunma Prefecture. At that time, her old agent Ben came to pick her up. She got up to work in the middle of the night, so instead of going to bed early, she slept soundly.
Sometimes when you wake up and go out feeling angry, you might as well enjoy yourself and take a nap in the car afterwards.
One of the interesting things about dancing at a disco is that no one wants to stay in the same disco all night. For Takuji Sakamoto, one of the reasons why he doesn’t want to play at Juliana is that he is too concerned about the store where he works.
Too familiar and therefore boring.
At the end of the performance, Takuji Sakamoto did not change his clothes, but just moved with the two of them. The affectionate driver sent Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori over, and then sent the three of them to a new store.
On Saturday night, almost every store has special offers for women.
Sakamoto Takuji said to the two of them with a bit of pride, "Now, as long as I don't speak, I am confident that I can hide it from many people with this look."
Wouldn’t it be possible to watch discounted movies on women’s discount days? This practical idea came to Akina Nakamori’s mind.
"I remember when I first decided to perform with this image, I didn't know how to put on makeup. Even when I put on a skirt, I felt as stiff as a crab when I walked. I was sitting in a restaurant waiting for coffee, and the waiter was shocked when he saw my appearance.
Eclipsed."
His description was so vivid that it made Akina Nakamori laugh.
Iwahashi Shinichi recalled the past, "However, when I met Sakamoto-san, your cross-dressing skills were already very good."...and almost fell into a trap.
Takuji Sakamoto was able to hold on to women's airs even when he laughed. He looked more girlish than the bold and bold Akina Nakamori just now. "But I was recognized by Iwahashi-kun in the end. It's a pity that I couldn't succeed at that time."
Chatting with you."
Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "I'm very glad that that didn't happen."
Takuji Sakamoto was a little hurt, "Really? Is it so troublesome for you to be talked to by me?" He showed the expression of a young girl, and Shinichi Iwahashi raised his hands in surrender, "Spare me."
When you know that the person in front of you is a cross-dressing boss, and you are treated in such a coquettish manner, you have a strong feeling of being treated like a fool.
"For me, I only have one chance to strike up a conversation." Sakamoto Takuji seemed to have a feeling. "If you don't succeed the first time, you won't be able to deceive people no matter how good you are in the future."
"It sounds a little sad." Akina Nakamori also expressed such emotion.
Iwahashi Shinichi was sandwiched between these two people - looking from the side, there was a man sitting on the left and a woman sitting on the right. Listening to the two people chatting over the topic of "dressing up in disguise to strike up conversations with others", I was deeply aware of this.
There is something unspeakably funny about this scene.
…
Tonight, Yanyin held a banquet to entertain several cadres from Fuji TV's production bureau, and their old manager Ben also came to accompany them.
The TV series starring Akina Nakamori is currently on the air. The TV series has high ratings and good reputation. Seeing the real benefits of casting Akina Nakamori as the lead, the production company is naturally happy. At this time, Yanyin took advantage of the opportunity and offered gold and dollar hospitality, and the effect was even greater
It's outstanding.
Akina Nakamori was not at the banquet, but her name was indispensable in the conversation.
People in the production bureau have to respond to the benefits offered by Kenyin by praising Nakamori Akina's performance, and Kenyin uses this guise to win acting opportunities from other people in the agency. Old manager Omoto works for Nakamori Akina every day.
When the time comes, I won't be absent.
First there was the banquet, and after the banquet, there was also a nightclub reception prepared by Yanyin for the cadres of the production bureau. As the party responsible for the reception, I had to pay attention to the relevant arrangements at all times and prepare taxis for these cadres to go to the next stop.
And handed the Yanyin taxi ticket to the driver.
During this period, Ben had to take some time off from his chores to find a public phone and deal with the accumulated paging calls.
This year, Daben is also equipped with a mobile phone. However, in terms of stability, the battery will run out at some point, or the mobile phone will not be able to match the pager for missed calls. Most of the time, Daben still leaves the pager number.
When you are busy with these trivial matters, you have to keep an eye on the time to avoid missing the opportunity to pick up Akina Nakamori.
Fortunately, before he went to pick up Nakamori Akina, Nakamori Akina's assistant Momoi would come to pick him up first, so there was no need for him, the manager, to drive there himself to pick him up after taking care of Jin Yuan's reception.
The profession of an agent is very unorganized when it is busy. Omoto sometimes thinks to himself that if Nakamori Akina gets married and retires, and he takes over a new person, he will probably only be responsible for the overall planning work from now on, and will no longer be around people like this anytime and anywhere.
It's spinning.
Only Akina Nakamori can keep a veteran agent in charge all day long. After all, if you change a new agent at will, it is very likely that she will ask for a replacement within three days because she does not like it. The big instinct has been responsible for Nakamori all these years.
Akina is an achievement that will shine brightly on his resume. Even Kenin should express his gratitude to him.
After sending the cadres of the production bureau into taxis, someone else would be responsible for the next round of reception. Before Momoi contacted him, Omoto casually walked into a small shop, took a short rest, and contacted Akina Nakamori to confirm her location.
.
Today, Nakamori Akina finished work early, and Omoto had a hunch that she didn't know where to play at the moment.
…
As an assistant, Momoi feels that her biggest advantage is that she can fall asleep anytime and anywhere. She has a full sleep first, and then goes to pick up people refreshed.
First pick up Oben-san, and then follow Oben-san's instructions to pick up Akina-san.
"Are Akina-san and Iwahashi-san playing outside?" The assistant hadn't seen Iwahashi Shinichi for a while and was a little happy to hear that these two were together.
Omoto didn't understand what was going on with Momoi's suddenly excited tone, so he replied, "When I called him, he seemed to be having fun."
"It must not be a good feeling to receive a call about work during a date," Momoi said bluntly. When Akina Nakamori was not present, Momoi would sometimes forget to read the assistant manual silently.
Ben replied, "Even for me, on this Saturday night, the thought of having to work all night doesn't feel right." He casually chatted with his assistant, "For such a job, if you have a boyfriend, you probably won't be able to do it."
It won’t be easy to do.”
Most agents and assistants come and go.
"Although it would be nice to have a good relationship, with this job, I can travel to many countries." Momoi seemed to be seriously worried about a fish-and-bear-paw problem.
As Omoto listened to her thoughts, he realized deeply that compared to Momoi at his age, he was already a talkative Oji-san.
