In the evening, Hamasaki looked in the mirror and carefully applied false eyelashes.
Mother Zhang Zi stepped into the living room with one foot. When she saw her daughter's concentration reflected in the mirror, she couldn't help but step lightly and hold her breath.
…
Ayumi Hamasaki breathed a sigh of relief after successfully applying the false eyelashes. Behind her, her mother cheered: "Great!" Akiko's footsteps approached Ayumi Hamasaki and sat down behind her.
In the mirror, his mother's hand was placed on his shoulder. Hamasaki spoke to his mother in an adult tone, "The reaction just now was too exaggerated."
It seems that my daughter is not putting on false eyelashes, but doing something extraordinary.
The heavy makeup looks a bit exaggerated on the face of a girl under the age of fifteen. However, Hamasaki's facial features are already delicate and beautiful, and with long false eyelashes, she looks even more like a doll.
Zhang Zi admired her daughter's face and praised: "Ayu is very talented and tasteful in makeup."
It is probably rare to see a mother who watches her underage daughter wearing heavy makeup and even praises her. However, Akiko and Hamasaki Ayumi, a single mother and a daughter who depends on each other, are not like mother and daughter when they get along. Sometimes
More like sisters.
Akiko even half-jokingly told Ayumi Hamasaki that mother and daughter have similar visions, and maybe one day they will like the same man.
The mother who said such words was too ridiculous, but Hamasaki Ayumi did not react exaggeratedly after hearing these words.
However, she also had strange thoughts in her mind. If she liked a man like her father, then would she be "father's daughter" or "mother"? Or, some other identity.
"Where are we going on a date tonight?" Hamasaki asked.
Zhang Zi followed suit and asked the same question: "Where will Ayu go next?"
"The person who asks first has priority," Hamasaki replied.
Zhang Ziling said eloquently, "People whose curiosity is not satisfied have no motivation to answer questions."
"Then forget it." Hamasaki Ayumi immediately gave up.
Zhang Zi laughed at her quick reaction. The mother also sat down in front of the dressing table. She gave birth to her daughter at a young age. Even now, Zhang Zi does not look old at all. Despite this, she can and carefully
Sitting next to my daughter who was wearing make-up, facing the same mirror, I had to praise her for being young at heart.
Tonight, Akiko is going on a date with her boyfriend, and Hamasaki Ayumi is also going to play with her male and female friends of the same age. The elderly grandmother, as always, stays at home, waiting for the return of her daughter and granddaughter.
Wearing heavy makeup may not look refreshing enough, but it can increase your age. If you are only fourteen years old, if you want to play outside for a while, many places will not open the door to her.
Ever since he started working as a model, he had to put on makeup before the photo shoot. Over the years, Hamasaki has become accustomed to makeup and feels that being able to make wonderful changes in his face through technology is like magic.
…
"If asked about your age, answer eighteen without hesitation!"
The group of boys and girls accompanying them did not forget to emphasize to each other before entering the nightlife. In fact, the oldest among this group was only seventeen years old, named Honami.
In the three years since she entered junior high school, Hamasaki has become a delinquent girl. Although whenever she hears neighbors whispering at a volume that she can hear, saying that she is a delinquent, she will retort in her heart: I can't
I haven't done anything bad.
I haven't done anything bad, I just like the way of life and the friends I get along with, and they happen to be regarded as "bad".
Today is Valentine's Day.
However, the reason why these delinquents are out in force is because today is Sunday. It is Valentine's Day on Sunday, so every store is full at night.
Boys and girls have a clear goal, to get into a disco and dance.
"The most popular thing now is TRF. Although the single released by the newcomer produced by Komuro-san is selling very well, I still hope that he will not be distracted for too long and quickly produce TRF's new album."
Among my friends in the same industry, some people expressed their opinions on "popularity".
"Didn't this new guy say that he is dating Komuro-san? From the looks of it, Komuro-san will still make music for her for a while."
"Maybe these two break up and Komuro-san will produce for a new female singer!"
In their teens, when half-grown children gather together, they can say anything and come up with all kinds of fantastic ideas. Ayumi Hamasaki did not join in the gossip of his friends, but he thought of another name in his mind.
.
"Speak of it."
Among the companions in the group, a tall and lanky boy mentioned, "Lately, aren't people talking about 'GENZO, GENZO'? Komuro-san is a producer of the GENZO system. What kind of music will he produce next?
Let’s look at the record company’s opinion?”
This boy's surname is Okita and he wears sparkling earrings.
Ayumi Hamasaki subconsciously turned her eyes to Okita's side. In the dim street lights, Okita's earrings were shining brightly. However, she blinked and realized that it was not Okita's earrings that were shining brightly, but his earrings.
Eyes this way.
Because of Okita's words, the attention of the boys and girls turned to GENZO Records. They talked about ZARD's "Don't Give Up" and laughed and said that it sounded like the background music of a marathon.
"But I don't know why, but my brother who just graduated was very excited when he heard this song."
"Not only that, my dad is still waiting in front of the TV to watch the live performance of this song. Don't you think it's funny that the elderly Ogisang is chasing stars?"
There is still a huge distance between society, the times, and these solemn words. Boys and girls, they don’t understand when, except for an occasion like a marathon, there is a time when they need to “don’t admit defeat” like this.
Hamasaki Ayumi felt that he didn’t understand either.
However, when she thought about certain things that were weighing heavily on her heart, she felt that this song was about herself.
Could it be that composing lyrics is about arousing the hearts of the listeners? Or maybe it is weaving an illusion. If I ask this question to the president of Tokyo, Sang, I don’t know what kind of answer he will give.
Hamasaki talked to the person in his mind and no longer paid attention to Okita's eyes on him.
…
In fact, it is not impossible for the disco staff to notice that some of the customers are too young. However, in such a store where you only need to pay an entrance fee of 1,000 yen to dance to your heart's content, the store owners often turn a blind eye.
.
As long as there is no real problem, letting minors in secretly is an unspoken and unspoken rule.
In other words, this attitude of turning a blind eye implies contempt for these bad boys.
...Since he can dress up and sneak into the store, he is not an innocent boy who deserves special care. Even if he is deceived or bullied, he is only to blame.
These boys and girls are naive and lack experience, so they are not really bad. It is difficult to distinguish true goodwill, and they are also insensitive to hidden malice. But at certain times, innocence will become their talisman.
"When someone approaches me, I will say, 'We already have an appointment.'" On the way here, Honami, the eldest seventeen-year-old, demonstrated how to shake off the attacker.
"Are you being entangled?"
"If you get caught, just say 'stinky old man!' and push him into the crowd." Honami's bold words made everyone laugh. While Hamasaki laughed, he thought to himself,
I don’t know if Honami has ever really done this.
Honami has a fit figure and a hot appearance, and is quite popular. As the oldest one in the small group, she taught everyone the secret of how to get into the disco, which made her a natural attraction to the girls in the group.
Got a little more sense of responsibility.
Remembering to rendezvous with their companions, this group of delinquents danced on the dance floor, then left together and walked into a chain burger restaurant on the street. Before the end of the day, they talked and laughed as much as they wanted.
Disgusting.
On Valentine's Day night, the streets are crowded with people, and a subtle atmosphere flows between men and women who happen to pass by. From a long distance, it seems that you can smell some strange but attractive smell. Such a smell,
It enriches the imagination of boys and girls about the adult world.
Next month, the school will hold a graduation ceremony, and by that time, Ayumi Hamasaki's junior high school life will officially come to an end. At the age of fifteen, he is still far from being able to go to places he wants to go to or drink in an open manner.
However, after graduating from junior high school, the distance between me and Tokyo will suddenly become very close.
After entering junior high school, although I joined a local entertainment agency in Fukuoka, there was no good development. I either participated in local third-rate variety shows or worked as a model in local magazines. Although I dreamed of becoming an actor,
So far, the most decent job is actually being selected to play a student in "Twin Teachers".
Next month, Ayumi Hamasaki will go to Tokyo to participate in the filming of a TV series. Depending on the time schedule, he should be able to make it in time for the school's graduation ceremony.
In fact, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t participate…
A bad girl, a little artist who doesn't know what she is doing, this is probably how her teachers and classmates at school view her. In the past three years, Hamasaki's attendance rate was on the verge of danger, and her grades were in shambles, with only
The Chinese language is passable.
"Speaking of which, after Ayu graduates, will she go to higher education or continue to be an artist?" her companions asked her.
Ayumi Hamasaki blinked her big doll eyes and exaggerated false eyelashes. If it had been anyone else, it would have looked funny. If it had been her, it would have been just like the doll's makeup, which was very suitable. She told the facts in a joking tone:
"With my level, it's impossible to go to higher education anyway."
"But, is there anyone here who is good at getting into higher education?" One of the companions asked from his soul.
"That's why I have to congratulate Ayu even more!" Honami took the lead and clapped her hands. Even a delinquent who lives his life in a hazy way still feels longing for having a clear goal and having the power to achieve it.
.
This gang of noisy delinquents once again received glares from nearby people in the burger restaurant. Okita clapped absentmindedly, his eyes fell on Hamasaki Ayumi's face, and then moved away slightly. But after a while, he fell on it again.
Ayumi Hamasaki noticed something and raised his eyes. When their eyes met, Okita was startled and subconsciously turned his face away. However, such a withdrawn reaction seemed to sting his own pride, causing him to look over immediately.
.
"Okita has been looking at Ayu since just now, right?"
Honami, who was sitting next to Hamasaki, noticed this and blurted out. Immediately, the teenagers began to boo. Being involved in such an atmosphere, Hamasaki was a little embarrassed. However, "There is a boy looking at her like this".
This incident inevitably brought about some thoughts mixed with pride and shyness, making it difficult for her to react for the moment.
Okita, who was exposed to his inner thoughts, felt ashamed and annoyed, feeling that Honami was meddling in other people's affairs, which had brought disgrace to him.
At this time, Hamasaki Ayumi spoke. She spoke in a relaxed and show-off tone, talking about the false eyelashes she had applied, "...it's amazing, isn't it? When I put it on, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, more than ever.
Be nervous."
"It's pretty awesome! Ayu is a genius at makeup! If it were me, it would be a mess."
Several girls chatted non-stop about today's makeup. After a hot dance, the makeup on their faces was a little blurred. The girls who discovered this happened to each other said "hate" while joining hands.
Get up and go to the bathroom to touch up your makeup.
At the burger restaurant tonight, I don’t know how many times I have to scold these troublesome young customers in my heart.
The girls stood up and left, and Okita subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Then he thought that Hamasaki Ayumi had saved him just now. His heart surged over this matter, but for some reason, he felt like he had been politely rejected.
Ayu seems determined to go to Tokyo...
Okita has been following Ayumi Hamasaki and knows that she is a GENZO fan. Whenever a GENZO singer releases a new song, she will pay special attention to it. However, although she obviously pays attention to the information of GENZO singers, she seems to only pay attention to ZARD and TRF.
interested.
Therefore, when everyone is talking about Tetsuya Komuro, only Okita will mention the GENZO record behind him.
…
Ayumi Hamasaki returned home and when she was changing her shoes at the entrance, her grandmother came out to greet her.
"Did I wake you up?" She was a little embarrassed.
Grandma smiled. With the cunningness of an old naughty child, she joked with her granddaughter, "The house is too small, and I can hear everything."
Grandparents and grandchildren knew each other well and could immediately understand that this was a joke. Hamasaki arranged his shoes neatly, stood up, and said to his grandmother: "Then when I make money, I will build a very big house."
"In that case, if I want to ask Ayu to eat, I have to make a phone call." Grandma also had a wonderful idea.
The two looked at each other and laughed at this unrealistic-sounding imagination. Hamasaki and his grandmother said good night and walked into the narrow bathroom.
After taking off the heavy makeup, the face in the mirror looked like a young girl again.
