Iwahashi Shinichi didn't expect Nakamori Akina to suddenly stop him. He paused on his feet and looked at her, "Yes."
Akina Nakamori's manager was watching silently from the side. She didn't care about her manager and only talked to Shinichi Iwahashi, "The music festival was successfully held. Congratulations."
"Huh?" Shinichi Iwahashi was stunned, "Thank you."
Although I met her twice by chance and even lost my vest in front of her, this was the first time I heard her speak such a long sentence. Nakamori Akina's tone of voice was a bit low, as reserved as a small animal.
It was just an ordinary congratulatory message, no different from the congratulations he had received today. But the difference was that after saying this, Akina Nakamori looked at him and stretched out her hand, as if to give him a high-five.
.
The first time we met was at a Joan Jett concert. When I heard Joan Jett announce that she would participate in the music festival, Shinichi Iwahashi, who was in a state of excitement, raised his hand to Akina Nakamori next to him and invited her to join him.
High fives to celebrate.
I didn't expect that now, she would take the initiative to reach out.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at the stretched out hand, and felt a warm feeling in his heart. It seemed that from this small gesture, he could sense Nakamori Akina's personality of caring for others, and her kind heart that would sincerely bless others for their success.
His eyes moved from the outstretched hand to Nakamori Akina's face, and when their eyes met, she showed a small, embarrassed expression. Although she extended her hand, she probably felt that she was doing this to a stranger.
It's a little abrupt.
Shinichi Iwahashi thought Akina Nakamori was cute like this. He stretched out his hand, and the two of them completed a high-five in front of Akina Nakamori's agent, which in the eyes of the agent had no meaning.
After high-fiving, Nakamori Akina immediately took her hand back and whispered: "Then, see you next time."
She said "see you next time"?
Iwahashi Shinichi was a little surprised by these words of farewell.
The two passed each other again.
After walking a few steps, her manager asked her, "Does this seem to be the staff behind the scenes at the Red and White Song Concert?" As a manager, you have to constantly deal with people in the industry, and your ability to recognize people must be better than ordinary people. If you meet them once, you will know them.
Not easy to forget.
Akina Nakamori replied: "Yes."
"Were you high-fiving him just now? What happened?" The manager followed her for a long time and asked her questions directly.
However, Akina Nakamori replied perfunctorily: "It's nothing." She walked a little faster. Seeing this, the manager could only let her go and put the matter aside. After all, as of today, as Momoura
Star, her autonomy is growing.
When saying goodbye, she said goodbye to Shinichi Iwahashi. When she said this, Akina Nakamori herself felt a little surprised. She never expected that she would say this to someone who was almost a stranger. In this way, she was almost admitting that she wanted to see her again.
he.
I congratulated him and gave him a high five because I still remember how Iwahashi Shinichi was so happy for the success of this event at the Joan Jett concert. His proud and innocent eyes left a deep impression on Nakamori Akina
, so I am sincerely happy for the success of a person with such a pure side.
At the same time, she was also grateful to him for relieving her discomfort with high-fives.
So why do you want to see him again?
Ming Ming barely knew him. Although she knew about this person through Okada Yukiko and knew that he was Yukiko's savior, other than that, Nakamori Akina had no friendship with him at all. Counting this time, she only met him.
Just three sides.
But in retrospect, these three encounters were very interesting.
When they met for the first time, she gave him a high-five in a daze and became a witness to his success. When they met for the second time, she guessed his identity through Yukiko's words and called him by name.
But this time, she took the initiative to reach out and celebrated the successful conclusion of the music festival with him.
Although no one knew anyone yet, it seemed that he had witnessed many things about him. When Akina Nakamori recalled these three encounters, she felt in her heart that perhaps it was such a hazy sense of distance and the fact that she was in different places with him every time.
Every time they meet by chance, there will always be a little episode of anticipation, which makes her want to "see you next time."
This feeling of uncertainty makes Nakamori Akina find it very interesting, like playing a game with no winner or loser, turning over a card with no answer.
…
Nakamori Akina's career is now at its peak, and she has almost complete control over the song selection for her own album, which is extremely rare for non-singer-songwriters.
During this music selection meeting, the staff of Warner Pioneer prepared thirty demos for her to listen to. Akina Nakamori listened to each one carefully and even wrote down her feelings about each demo on paper.
It took a lot of time to complete such a set. Before it was over, her manager came over and reminded her, "There is a TV Asahi program to be recorded at 7 p.m., and it is almost ready."
"I understand." Nakamori Akina agreed and took off her headphones.
After leaving Warner Pioneer and getting into the car, night had fallen outside. At this time, the road to TV Asahi was a bit congested. While waiting, Akira Nakamori rested his chin on his hands and looked out the car window at the men and women traveling intimately in the hazy night.
Today is Valentine's Day.
At this time, the agent said to her casually: "You have to go out to work on Valentine's Day, don't you feel very hard?"
Akina Nakamori was still in a daze and didn't answer the question.
The manager didn't take it seriously and continued: "It will be almost eleven o'clock when it ends. Do you have any plans with Mathy today?"
"...No." Nakamori Akina simply said.
The manager smiled and said, "No wonder." He added, "But anyway, you guys often meet at work. In a few days, Bestten will be sharing the stage with Mathy again."
Having said this, he seemed to have just turned to the topic and reminded: "If I say this, you will definitely think that I am a nuisance again. However, considering the feelings of Mathy fans, it is better not to show such warm-heartedness in front of others.
.”
If an ordinary man and woman fall in love, they may encounter opposition from those around them, let alone between celebrities.
There are quite a few fans of Akina Nakamori who hate Kondo Masahiko, who is not professional in his love and is involved in negative news from time to time. Similarly, Kondo Masahiko's female fans are also very disgusted with a woman who openly shows her dissatisfaction with Kondo Masahiko in front of the camera.
of love and care.
In any case, as an idol who sells himself, one of the dreams of fans is to be regarded as a lover.
Akina Nakamori is not the kind of person who likes to reveal her private affairs in front of the public, but she can't bear to have this love affair known to the whole country. When the two of them participated in the show together, the host would make fun of them from time to time.
Especially the host of bestten, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, who likes Kondo Masahiko very much and treats him as a nephew. She is the vanguard of the booing. In this case, it may not be right to blame Nakamori Akina, but this can also be seen as
