When I arrived in Tokyo, it was like a celebration ball was opened in front of my eyes. In the light, colorful confetti and ribbons fell one after another, which was dazzling.
Generally speaking, the second time you come to Tokyo, you should be more calm and natural than the first time you come to Tokyo.
However, Hamasaki still felt a little confused at certain times.
"Everyone, I'll take care of you next!"
Noisy sounds flooded into Hamasaki Ayumi's ears. When she came to her senses, she saw the steel frame of the studio in front of her. Today she was here to participate in the filming of "Twin Teachers".
The second time she came to Tokyo, she felt much calmer than the first time. However, this was not because her previous short stay in Tokyo satisfied her curiosity about Tokyo. It was because the last time
The trip to Tokyo made Hamasaki determined that he would stay in Tokyo in the future - such a goal.
Only when you look forward to it from a distance, Tokyo seems like a kingdom above the clouds. Once you enter Tokyo, the city no longer shines with a dazzling light.
This is Ayumi Hamasaki's first time participating in the filming of a TV series. Although he has been facing the camera since he was a child, and under the guidance of the photographer, he posed in suitable poses for shooting. He also learned early on that even if he is unhappy, he must disguise himself and say thank you with a smile.
.However, such "acting skills" have become something that is not used at all in the filming of TV series.
I want to be an actress in the future!
Ayumi Hamasaki once declared this. But entering the shooting scene, working with newcomers of similar age to herself, and acting with actors who are older and more experienced than herself, this is so hard for Hamasaki that it makes no sense.
.
When you become an actor, you have to play another person, not another yourself. I try to immerse myself in it, but I often feel stiff because I am distracted.
Acting out a skit talking to yourself in front of a mirror or imitating a comedian in front of your family is not an actor.
…
Most of the new actors selected to play students in the TV series are newcomers from Tokyo offices. Among the male students, there is JR, who has not yet debuted in Johnny's, while the female students are the newcomers that each agency will promote.
Before the official shooting started, while on standby, the newcomers from the big office only talked to the newcomers from the big office. Ayumi Hamasaki, who came from a small office in the countryside, seemed out of place among them.
"Is it hard?" A female voice sounded in her ear.
Hamasaki turned his head and saw a lively smiling face. This girl, who played the role of a student in the TV series just like him, was named Miho Kanno.
She is one year older than Ayumi Hamasaki. She was a young actress selected from a TV Asahi variety show called "Sakura Club". This time, she was selected again to participate in the filming of a TV Asahi TV series.
Hamasaki shook his head, "It's okay."
In Kanno Miho's opinion, Hamasaki Ayumi, who is one year younger than herself and came to Tokyo from the countryside of Fukuoka, is a beautiful girl who is a bit difficult to get close to.
The reason why I feel that she is not easy to get close to is not because she has the feeling of a delinquent girl, but because when she is free, Miho Kanno can't guess what she is thinking by looking at her face.
She seems to have a lot of things on her mind, but she doesn't care about anything...a girl who gives off such a feeling.
...is a beautiful girl.
Miho Kanno added quietly in her mind. Ayumi Hamasaki has a doll-like face that even girls would admire.
She felt a little bit envious and jealous of Hamasaki, but when she thought about the girl who came from the countryside, even if she had a pretty face, she didn't get the support of the agency, and had no chance to become a starring role, she felt at peace inside, and even
, with a little sympathy for this beautiful girl.
The more outstanding the condition of a young actress from the countryside, the more sympathetic she is, as if she has seen her wasted career. Miho Kanno may not have bad intentions, but she just thought she understood what "reality" is early on.
"Sakurako Club" gathers many young idols. Although Miho Kanno has little experience, she has already understood that the entertainment industry is a place that values the power behind it. The stronger the agency, the more opportunities there will be for newcomers.
"Now is an era where newcomers with no resume can also be starring..." Miho Kanno whispered to Hamasaki. Although she feels comfortable here with Ayumi Hamasaki, Miho Kanno thinks of those newcomers who are really promoted by big agencies.
It will make you feel guilty.
However, Hamasaki Ayumi did not react to such words.
Miho Kanno didn't care. She pointed to the opposite corner and told Ayumi Hamasaki, "Those two over there are both JRs from Johnny's. The one named Nagase is quite stylish, isn't he?"
Ayumi Hamasaki followed Miho Kanno's words and turned his eyes to the opposite side. The two Johnnys didn't know what they were saying, and they were all smiling. Sensing the gaze here, the two teenagers looked here, and one of them showed his face to Ayumi Hamasaki.
A gentleman's smile.
Ayumi Hamasaki was stunned for a moment, then nodded to him boredly, thinking that this guy was being too sentimental.
The other Johnny next to him showed an exaggerated expression to Ayumi Hamasaki's reaction, like a classmate in school who deliberately wanted to be annoying.
……Really bad.
With Ayumu Hamasaki thinking, Miho Kanno revealed to her the information she had collected, "That Nagase-kun, maybe he will debut as a band."
Guan Ye Miho might be very interested in that Nagase, Hamasaki Ayumi had this thought in his mind.
"Band?" Hamasaki Ayumi actually hasn't given the numbers to the two teenagers yet, so he doesn't know which Nagase Miho is talking about.
Before the TV series was officially filmed, there was a session where everyone introduced themselves together. When the TV series creators introduced themselves, their speaking speed was normal, but as the person introducing themselves became less and less important, everyone’s speaking speed also changed.
It was under control, faster and faster, introduced in a hurry, and in the end no one could remember anyone except the main characters.
Of the two boys, who is Nagase?
"Nagase-kun's group has its own title program on NTV. I heard that GENZO's Iwahashi-san planned it for them." Miho Kanno also specifically mentioned that Nagase-kun was not the original member of the group, but was in
Added to the combination after swapping.
However, Hamasaki's attention was attracted by the phrase "GENZO's Iwahashi-san".
One of the protagonists of this TV series, Kazuki Sawamura, is an actor in Watanabe-san's agency. The theme song of this TV series will be sung by THE BLUE HEARTS, a band under GENZO Records. And this Nagase-kun,
The group he is in will have Shinichi Iwahashi as the producer.
Ayumi Hamasaki felt that he was very close to Shinichi Iwahashi. But for some reason, he felt that he was stupid enough to throw himself into a trap.
…
President Watanabe of U-MIZ Office is a more likable woman than expected. She is young, has a gentle face, and is a beauty with a professional woman style. Kazuki Sawamura in the TV series
The lead actor, Watanabe-san, came to the scene to visit the cast.
Ayumi Hamasaki watched her chatting with the director from a distance. He saw the tall and handsome Sawamura-san walking over with a smile on his face and bowed to say hello to her.
Looking at it this way, he is a quite easy-going person. But when he thought about the way Kazuki Sawamura walked over to salute her quickly when he saw her, Hamasaki felt that this Watanabe-san must be a very serious and serious person in private.
A person not easy to mess with.
Growing up in a women's home, being controlled by two generations of women, her grandmother and mother, Ayumi Hamasaki has a natural rejection of female elders who have authority, which seems to be a kind of girlish rebellion.
Expect.
That president-san even gave her the business card of Watanabe-san. Hamasaki had this thought in his mind, as if he was complaining that Shinichi Iwahashi acted hastily and did not consider her mood.
By now, she had completely forgotten the ins and outs of why she threatened to become an actor in front of Shinichi Iwahashi and therefore received the business card of Mayumi Watanabe.
As we grow older, the solid things we want to remember have become obsessions. And the unimportant things, in order to solidify the things we want to remember, are constantly changing in our memories, just to make everything become
"Reasonable".
"Thank you for your hard work today!"
With these words, today's shooting came to an end. Everyone present said "hard work" to each other and nodded in greeting. Amid the commotion at the shooting scene, Hamasaki also bowed to everyone around him.
After walking out of the shooting scene, her manager came to greet her, "Welcome back, Ayu~"
Hamasaki replied lazily: "I'm back."
"Doesn't it feel good to film a TV series?" The agent said in a somewhat excited tone, "When you enter a filming location, you experience a new kind of life. Except for actors, there is no other profession that can enjoy such a good thing."
Hamasaki murmured, "To experience a different life, doesn't it mean abandoning the life that truly belongs to you?"
"How is that possible!" The agent's reaction was like hearing a child's childish talk. She smiled and patted Hamasaki Ayumi on the shoulder, "Acting is just acting, how can you abandon yourself for this?"
Life?"
"In this case, it's not like experiencing a new life, is it?" Hamasaki Ayumi showed a hint of stubbornness.
The agent was choked and didn't know how to refute. She lightly pressed Hamasaki's shoulder, took her hand back, and said to her: "Anyway, just play this role well first. To become an actress,
Isn’t it Ayu’s dream?”
In the future, I want to be an actress.
Ayumu Hamasaki once said that before joining his current agency, during the interview, his mother Akiko also mentioned when communicating with the president, "Ayu is very interested in acting."
From models to actresses, isn't that the path that famous female stars follow?
When she arrived on the set of the TV series, when her agent mentioned her dream, Ayumi Hamasaki suddenly felt a little shaken. Is becoming an actress really her dream?
Is it really a dream that you love from the bottom of your heart and want to realize?
