Akina Nakamori's 10th anniversary tour starts in July and will last four months and will visit major cities across the country. This year, NHK came to negotiate with Kenyin early and invited Akina Nakamori to perform at the Red and White Song Concert.
The goal of the discussion between Kenyin and NHK is to have Akina Nakamori appear as the finale singer of the red group.
The finale of the Kohaku Song Festival has always been performed by kayo or enka singers. Among pop singers, only in 1978, Yamaguchi Momoe and Sawada Kenji served as the finale of the two groups of Kohakui and Kohaku. After that, there was no second group of pop singers.
Serving as the finale again.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Akina Nakamori's debut as a singer. Kenin is confident that she is qualified to become the second singer after Momoe Yamaguchi.
The Moon Nine TV series starring Akina Nakamori will be completed by mid-June. In the second half of the year, her focus will shift to the anniversary tour.
Originally, Kenyin was preparing for Akina Nakamori's retirement. But Akina Nakamori gave her a clear message and she changed her mind. Kenyin also had to change its plan accordingly.
Despite this, Toshio Nozaki remained unmoved.
He knew it well, and with Shinichi Iwahashi's consistent behavior, since he supported Akina Nakamori to continue working, he would not say anything. This young man can gather the power of the industry to jointly make a bigger cake, and he has such ambition.
But similarly, this young man is also very clear about his own interests.
Rather, it is because he has calculated his accounts clearly that he has the ambition to win-win cooperation in everything.
Therefore, it is important to re-formulate Akina Nakamori's work plan, but there is no need to be too hasty to make new arrangements before everything has been said and all conditions have been negotiated.
…
The annoying rainy season has arrived, and people are becoming listless. However, in the workplace, you still have to be energetic, bow vigorously, and say hello loudly. This is especially true when you work in the entertainment industry.
The filming of the TV series has entered the final stage, and actors are finishing up every day. Assistant Momoi follows Akina Nakamori, not only running for her, but is also occasionally assigned to run errands. Although she does trivial things, she doesn't feel it at all.
Trouble and hard work.
The TV ratings were high, the studio was efficient and clean, and the atmosphere was good. The actors who finished filming took the bouquets from the staff, faced the camera, and expressed their feelings in a relaxed and happy manner with a bit of reluctance. Assistant Momoi was beside them.
When I took a peek, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart whether I should also show off my acting skills when expressing my thoughts on the finalization.
As the lead actor Akina Nakamori, she gets along well with the show's second-star Yuki Matsushita.
Matsushita Yuki has such a good figure that even Assistant Momoi couldn't help but glance at her and sigh in her heart. Coupled with her extroverted personality, it is very suitable for the urban woman she plays in the TV series, who is at ease at work.
Occasionally once or twice, Matsushita Yuki's boyfriend, the now high-profile music producer Takeshi Kobayashi, would come to pick her up after her work. As a producer, Takeshi Kobayashi seemed to be just as expected.
He is a similar artist, with long flowing hair, a serious smile, and looks quite cool.
But Iwahashi-san is different. The assistant thought quietly to herself: If Iwahashi-san becomes serious, things will definitely go wrong.
Since I stopped reciting the assistant manual silently, the little assistant often came up with some weird ideas.
Akina Nakamori made an appointment with Shinichi Iwahashi today. After work, the two of them were going to Yokohama to have dinner together. Before the end of today's shooting, he came to pick them up. The old manager and assistant were able to finish work early today.
After Assistant Momoi got acquainted with Shinichi Iwahashi, she felt that Iwahashi-san was easy to talk to. Although he looked steady, he was actually very good at joking with the staff around him. She always had a good impression of him. But she had a vague feeling about him.
, I can sense that Omoto-san has some opinions about Iwahashi-san.
Once upon a time, Omoto-san once told her that Iwahashi-san was a romantic and talented person...
However, in recent times, the assistant feels that Omoto-san's attitude seems to have changed a lot.
…
Even Iwahashi Shinichi felt that Omoto's attitude towards him seemed to have changed.
After he started dating Nakamori Akina, the old manager met him occasionally and always maintained a business-like attitude. Sometimes, Iwahashi Shinichi even sensed a hint of prejudice from his overly polite and impeccable attitude.
However, during this period of time, when I occasionally met with Ben, his attitude became more sincere. Although Ben had never been rude in the past. However, in recent days, Ben no longer just
Use social rhetoric to treat him.
This change in Omoto made Shinichi Iwahashi feel a little strange, and he couldn't figure out what was going on with Akina Nakamori, his old manager.
"Iwahashi-san."
As soon as Shinichi Iwahashi arrived, Assistant Momoi ran to pick him up. This assistant was as smart and cute as a schoolgirl at all times. Even the puppy Kenta liked this "sister" very much.
"Thank you for your hard work, Momoi-chan." Shinichi Iwahashi smiled.
Iwahashi Shinichi is very familiar with Nakamori Akina's assistant. Occasionally, he will ask his assistant to help run errands. Iwahashi Shinichi's own clerk is rarely assigned to handle his housework, but he is an assistant.
, very easy to use.
The filming of Akina Nakamori was still going on, and Iwahashi Shinichi, a quasi-family member, ran to her side while she was working, and casually chatted with her, "How long has Momoi-chan been working as an assistant?"
"
"I started when I was nineteen, and now I am going to be twenty-four..." Assistant Momoi calculated. She told Shinichi Iwahashi, "After I applied for a job at the office, I was sent to follow Akina-san, and I have been here until now.
.”
"It's rare to find an assistant who can follow you for such a long time." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
The job of an assistant usually lasts only a short time. Either you can't stand being around the same person and leave, or you can work full-time after a while. To be able to work as an assistant for the same star for such a long time, the star must be a big name, and the two of them must get along well.
Come.
From all aspects, Assistant Momoi won the heart of Nakamori Akina.
"When I first started following Akina-san, I met Iwahashi-san in the recording studio..." Momoi, who no longer memorized the assistant manual silently, got carried away and blurted out.
Iwahashi Shinichi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "So, we have met since you first joined the company."
"Yes." After the assistant finished speaking, she felt that she had talked too much. She suddenly became quiet and responded in a low voice. She was paying attention to the situation at the shooting scene and seemed to be sighing, "After Akina-san retires, I will go back to my hometown.
alright."
"Go back to your hometown?" Iwahashi Shinichi found it interesting.
The assistant nodded, "My hometown is in Hakata, which is a big city anyway."
Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but laugh at her words, and asked her with interest, "I've been away from Hakata for five years, are you going back to your hometown like this?"
"What else? I don't know what to do if I try another job, and I don't have a boyfriend. My dad back home calls all day to urge me, and even sends me photos of my blind date..." The assistant clapped her fingers and followed
Shinichi Iwahashi complained.
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed.
Someone nearby looked towards them, but when they recognized it was Shinichi Iwahashi, they all bowed their heads slightly to him. Shinichi Iwahashi put away his smile, looked at Assistant Momoi's "There is nothing else to do" look, and suggested to her,
"Otherwise, you can come and work for me."
The assistant opened his eyes wide.
Iwahashi-san, is he going to take her in when she is about to lose her job?
On the other side, the old manager Ben came back and found Shinichi Iwahashi chatting lively with his assistant hiding in the corner. He quickly walked up and greeted him, "Iwahashi-san."
Shinichi Iwahashi put away his interest in chatting with his assistant and politely returned the favor, "Thank you for your hard work."
The two chatted and naturally started a new topic.
Only Assistant Momoi, who had stepped aside, was still thinking about what Iwahashi Shinichi said just now, but she couldn't guess whether Iwahashi-san's words were a joke to her.
When Iwahashi-san is serious, things will probably be bad. However, when Iwahashi Shinichi is joking, it can also be annoying.
Assistant Momoi was thinking about some things in her mind - she didn't realize at all that it was actually because she didn't really want to go back to her hometown in Hakata for a blind date and get married, so she started thinking about the possibility because of Iwahashi Shinichi's words.
…
Not only had I misunderstood Shinichi Iwahashi for a long time, but I finally clarified the misunderstanding and tried to make amends for him, but it was self-defeating. In a sense, I felt a little guilty when I saw Shinichi Iwahashi again.
Fortunately, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't know anything. As for whether his self-defeating act had brought any unnecessary trouble to Shinichi Iwahashi, Omoto didn't want to know.
Akina Nakamori had previously expressed her intention to not retire in front of her old manager, and Omoto knew this, so when he looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, he also had some admiration for him.
For an old-school guy like Ben, it would be hard to hold his head high if his wife still has to go out to do odd jobs after getting married.
It is one thing to let your wife go out to do odd jobs, and it is another thing to let your wife who is a stage genius continue to shine. It is precisely because Omoto is an old-school person that I particularly admire Shinichi Iwahashi's willingness to support Akina Nakamori in getting married.
The decision to continue working.
While chatting, Akina Nakamori finished today’s shooting.
However, some actors who played supporting roles finished filming after this scene, and the filming scene became lively again. The lead actor Akina Nakamori personally sent a bouquet, and she applauded and congratulated the scene very much.
It seems that the atmosphere in the crew is quite good.
After a brief closing speech, the camera left the actors. Nakamori Akina and the people around her nodded in greeting and walked over. Seeing Omoto and Iwahashi Shinichi chatting from a distance, she couldn't help but laugh.
She walked over and talked to Shinichi Iwahashi, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "I was so excited about chatting that I didn't notice the time."
"What were we talking about? We are so involved." Akina Nakamori was curious.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and teased her, "While waiting, I have someone to chat with, and I can be so engaged in chatting about anything."
Nakamori Akina asked him to go around in a circle, but she couldn't explain it, and she couldn't use the physical suppression she was good at, so she had to glance at him and complained, "How childish."
Just at this moment, someone came over, said hello to Shinichi Iwahashi, and gave him his business card.
Before Shinichi Iwahashi had time to enjoy the joy of victory, he was involved in a random social interaction. He politely accepted the business card and exchanged greetings with the other party. He realized that this place was not suitable for staying for a long time, and hurriedly retreated with Akina Nakamori.
Akina Nakamori left with Shinichi Iwahashi, and the old manager and assistant were relieved today. Sitting in the car without the protagonist, Momoi thought of the two people leaving together, shoulder to shoulder, and suddenly sighed, "If only Akina-san could
Just keep working."
Daben glanced at her and said, "Why do you say that?"
"Don't you think so, Omoto-san? It would be a pity if Akina-san retires like this..."
"I mean," Omoto asked her, "how are you so sure Akina-san will retire?"
Omoto-san's question was too strange. Assistant Momoi had this idea in her mind, and when she was about to say something, something suddenly happened in her heart.
"Omoto-san means——"
Da Ben interrupted the assistant, "Now it's time to make plans for next year's work arrangements. We will know the results soon." There is no definite news from the office. Although Da Ben knows what he is doing, he doesn't know.
Willing to stir up trouble.
Judging from Omoto-san's appearance, Akina-san won't retire?
While Assistant Momoi was happy about this, she suddenly remembered what Shinichi Iwahashi said to herself just now——
"Otherwise, you can come and work for me."
So, Iwahashi-san is deliberately making fun of her, right?
If this is not a joke——Iwahashi-san is poking fun at Akina-san?
When Assistant Momoi came up with this idea, she felt that she had fallen into an unprecedented whirlpool. She memorized the assistant manual again for the first time in a long time, trying to find something in it that could answer the current situation.
…
"Omoto-san is much more polite to me now than before."
The emotional driver drove silently, while Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori chatted casually.
Akina Nakamori smiled and asked, "Really? Omoto-san has always been very kind."
"As far as I'm concerned, Omoto-san's treatment of me has nothing to do with being 'kind'." Iwahashi Shinichi just felt that it was inappropriate to say this about Nakamori Akina's manager. He glanced at Nakamori Akina and saw that she was so happy.
appearance.
He always felt that there was something inside that he didn't know.
Iwahashi Shinichi expressed doubt, "Is it so funny?"
"It's funny." Nakamori Akina said without thinking. Iwahashi Shinichi didn't mess with the lake, but he couldn't figure it out. When she saw Nianxiajun's appearance, she laughed at him more deliberately.
"If you want to marry Akina-san, you must pass various tests. Omoto-san seems to have passed the test." Iwahashi Shinichi laughed at himself, not revealing Nakamori Akina's childish thoughts.
"Actually -" Akina Nakamori drawled.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her, "Actually?"
Omoto-san saw Shinichi, you, Sakamoto-san, and another girl drinking together, and thought you were a romantic and talented person hugging you. However, I just found out not long ago that Sakamoto-san is actually a male and an old friend of yours.
.
"It's because Shinichi you are so popular." Akina Nakamori said with a smile.
