Ayumi Hamasaki is only fifteen years old and needs to live with a guardian. Akina Nakamori just met Ayumi Hamasaki tonight, and she still remembers her sense of responsibility towards her, so she asked extra questions.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said: "Ordinarily, that child should be left in the care of Wanyumi-san."
This is a common arrangement in the industry. However, Nakamori Akina listened and intuitively felt that things were not that simple, so she asked him: "Ayu is reluctant?"
Iwahashi Shinichi found it interesting, "Why do you think so?"
Nakamori Akina replied "feeling", paused, and then said: "Ayu seems to be pretending to be worried tonight."
She was confused by her feelings when she suddenly heard Iwahashi Shinichi tell her: "Ayu seems to want to live in our house." She couldn't help but open her eyes.
"What?"
Iwahashi Shinichi was even happier, "It seemed like he was shocked."
"Of course you will be frightened if you say that suddenly..." Akina Nakamori said angrily, as if she was complaining about him. She pressed Shinichi Iwahashi's arm and asked, "Did Ayu tell you that?"
"That's not true."
"Isn't it because you are so sentimental?"
Shinichi Iwahashi was sarcastic and didn't take it seriously, "It would be better if I was just being sentimental." He told Akina Nakamori, "If Ayu doesn't want to live with Wanyumi-san, she can also be assigned a guardian to accompany her, but...
…”
"This kid seems to be jealous of Xiao Guang."
As soon as Iwahashi Shin said his guess, he thought it was ridiculous. But looking at Nakamori Akina's reaction, she looked like she was shocked by what she said.
His wife was as surprised as he was, but Iwahashi Shinichi relaxed. He told Nakamori Akina, "What does the child mean? Since we already have a child named Xiaoguang in our family..."
If Hikaru Utada can temporarily stay at Iwahashi's house, then why can't she?
Ayumi Hamasaki showed an intention that surprised Akina Nakamori.
Iwahashi Shinichi was amused by Hamasaki's childish thoughts and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But when Nakamori Akina faced Hamasaki's jealousy towards Utada Hikaru, she felt complicated. She asked Iwahashi Shinichi,
"What are you going to do?"
Shinichi Iwahashi asked, "What should I do?"
"Ayu's next life in Tokyo."
"With Manyuumi-san's talents, it should be no problem to take care of a child." Shinichi Iwahashi said matter-of-factly. Although to Nakamori Akina's ears, this statement of confusing work talents and life talents seemed a bit crude.
Of course, she knew in her heart that she did not think this way because she felt that Watanabe Wan Yumi could not take care of Hamasaki Ayumi's life.
Nakamori Akina asked him: "Don't you want to take care of her?"
At this time, Iwahashi Shinichi was surprised. He asked, "Do you want her to live in our house?"
"Shinichi-kun, have you ever thought that it is not suitable for Ayu and Wan Yumi-san to live together?" Only the couple talked, and Nakamori Akina said what she was thinking.
Watanabe Watanabe has a capable personality and is dedicated to her work. Entrusting Hamasaki to her and asking her to take care of a child is tantamount to placing a burden on her. On the other hand, Hamasaki has a strong personality, allowing her to get along with Watanabe Watanabe day and night.
, may arouse her rebellious psychology.
Nakamori Akina couldn't help but feel her face heat up as she spoke her thoughts, as if she had said something negative about Watanabe Mayumi.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her suddenly shy face and thought it was interesting. He thought about the several meetings he had with Hamasaki Ayumi. The personality displayed by this girl, what Akina Nakamori thought, was indeed reasonable.
Shinichi Iwahashi was worried that Ayumi Hamasaki's strong personality would cause her to fall into school bullying, so he refused to let her go to a girls' school. But after all, he ignored Ayumi Hamasaki's rejection of authoritative older women.
Nakamori Akina's attentiveness comes from the empathy of people who have experienced it.
"That's what I say..." Although Iwahashi Shinichi felt that Nakamori Akina's considerations were reasonable, he was still a little hesitant. After all, letting a newcomer live in the president's house is not just as simple as having a place to stay.
Letting Utada Hikaru live at home is to temporarily take care of her on behalf of her parents. Letting Hamasaki live at home, what does it mean? Although he was the one who signed Hamasaki, Shinichi Iwahashi recruited another Hamasaki.
I came home and wasn't very interested.
However, Nakamori Akina's attitude seems to be very happy to take care of another girl.
Iwahashi Shinichi was a little surprised by his wife's enthusiasm.
…
Although Watanabe Manyumi took the initiative to take care of Hamasaki's daily life, she actually had no idea. She was a little hesitant, wondering whether she should let Hamasaki live with her or arrange another place for her.
The housekeeper comes to take care of Watanabe Wan Yumi every day. However, if Hamasaki lives with her, she will have to hire a live-in maid to take care of her life.
But since she was used to being single and having to spend time with a girl day and night, Watanabe Wan Yumi actually felt a little unsure. When she was a child, the Watanabe house was always filled with artists from the agency, surrounding her parents with constant laughter and laughter.
Although Watanabe Manyumi lives among the pampering and pampering of artists, she often feels excluded from the family.
However, when you grow up, things from your childhood seem to be automatically written off and cannot be mentioned again.
Watanabe Wan Yumi made plans and prepared herself mentally. Unexpectedly, when Shinichi Iwahashi met her the next day, he suddenly discussed with her to let Hamasaki live in his house.
"Let Ayu live in your house?" Watanabe Manyumi was not unsurprised, but then she said: "Then I will be relieved of my burden." In a sense, I was indeed relieved of my burden.
Iwahashi Shinichi teased her: "It sounds like she is telling the truth."
"Will there be any more vacations?" Watanabe Manyumi asked.
Iwahashi Shinichi joked with her: "Maybe in your heart you blame me for being nosy."
Artists stay at the president's house not only to have a guardian to take care of their lives, but also to establish a personal dependence relationship with the president.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Both Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe know this. Watanabe Manyumi certainly does not think that Shinichi Iwahashi is fighting for absolute control over Hamasaki, but
Iwahashi Shinichi still mentioned it vaguely at this time, hoping to get a favor from her.
"It would be better to say that it helped a lot, both for me and for Ayu." Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled, not in front of others, and didn't mind saying what she felt: "Under the same roof with a single woman, it's still her
The president of the office... If you don’t have to do this now, the kid will probably be relieved."
With Watanabe Mayumi's ability to see into people's hearts, she would never fail to notice Hamasaki's subtle emotions.
When Iwahashi Shin heard that she had broken her words, he felt a little sorry. Out of a lively atmosphere, he ridiculed her: "So, it sounds like Wanyumi-san is a scary person."
"For adolescent girls, an older female president living alone is a bit scary." Watanabe Manyumi doesn't mind sarcasm herself.
"The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes." Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head.
However, Watanabe Manyumi showed a somewhat complacent expression and said to Iwahashi Shinichi: "Looking at it like this, I will not follow the path of my parents and let the house always be filled with the laughter of entertainers. But you, Shinichi-kun,
Now it’s starting to look good.”
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and replied: "There is no shadow yet."
The two people reached a consensus in this way.
In the morning, the clerk went to the hotel to pick up Akiko and Hamasaki, and made arrangements for Hamasaki's next life in Tokyo. After everything was settled, Akiko would return to Fukuoka in the afternoon.
Iwahashi Shinichi conveyed the arrangements for Hamasaki to Akiko, "As for Ayu's life in Tokyo, if Akiko-san and Ayu have no objections, my wife and I will serve as her temporary guardians for the time being. What do you think?"
Ayumi Hamasaki never expected that things would take such a turn of events.
Before an artist debuts, it is very common for an artist to live in the home of the president of his agency. If Iwahashi Shinichi was a single man, it would be difficult for him to take in a young girl to live at home. But with a wife at home, doing so would be justifiable.
but.
It is said that Shinichi Iwahashi is the guardian, but in fact, the person responsible for taking care of him is Akina Nakamori.
Zhang Zi naturally had no objections to this. He was even secretly relieved to some extent.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at Hamasaki Ayumi and asked her: "Ayu, do you have any other ideas?"
"No." Hamasaki shook his head.
Yesterday, she was almost arrogant and unreasonable, asking Iwahashi Shinichi for something that had nothing to do with her, but seemed to belong to her. Today, when such a thing really came into her hands, she seemed to be frightened, and revealed that she had done something wrong.
The expression of something.
After all, he is a child and cannot hide his thoughts. However, he also knows that he should not say anything out loud.
Iwahashi Shinichi stopped asking and nodded, "In that case, it's decided." He remembered Hamasaki Ayumi's subtle attitude towards Utada Hikari, and mentioned it in front of Akiko: "There is a child living in our house.
, a few years younger than Ayu. Last time Ayu came to Tokyo, I had already met her once."
When he mentioned Utada Hikaru, Hamasaki's expression did not change, but Akiko felt more relieved about her daughter staying with the Iwahashi family.
Watanabe Manyumi teased him: "It seems that there is already a bit of a shadow."
This was a dig at Shinichi Iwahashi's statement just now, "There is no trace yet." Shinichi Iwahashi accepted this sentence and said to Akiko with a smile: "Another Ayu will live in the house, and now the family will be full of laughter."
Although he said it to Akiko, he meant it to Watanabe Mayumi. However, to Akiko and his daughter, this sentence was also a kind welcome to Hamasaki Ayumi. After joking, he and Akiko confirmed:
"Zhang Zisang, there are still some parts that require your cooperation."
Zhang Zi lowered his head to him, "Ayu, I'll take care of you next."
…
Iwahashi Shinichi was going to have a social meeting with people from the production company tonight, so he called Nakamori Akina and told her that the clerk would send Hamasaki back first.
When he was on the phone with his family, Hamasaki sat in his office and watched him talk.
The contract was signed, and Ayumi Hamasaki's subsequent life and studies were arranged. Akiko left her daughter behind and returned to Fukuoka. After seeing off her mother, she stayed alone in Shinichi Iwahashi's office, waiting to be arranged by him.
Just like hindsight, I truly understand what it means to be "alone".
When she felt the loneliness and fear that enveloped her heart, she couldn't help but stare at Shinichi Iwahashi.
Iwahashi Shinichi finished the call, raised his head, met her eyes, paused, and told her: "Wait a while, the clerk will take you back first, Akina-san is waiting for you at home. There is also Xiaoguang."
"Aren't you going back?"
Ayumi Hamasaki's question was so rash that Iwahashi Shinichi was caught off guard. When he came to his senses, he said to her, "I have plans in the evening and I have to attend several receptions."
Ayumi Hamasaki continued the rude question: "Do you have to attend every reception?"
Iwahashi Shinichi's tone became more serious, "Of course."
"It's really not easy to be the president."
"I'm not the president anymore."
Ayumi Hamasaki had a sharp tongue and asked him: "If you are no longer the president, do you still have to worry about the company's affairs?"
Iwahashi Shinichi was choked by her and couldn't laugh or cry.
The clerk came over to report. Hamasaki stood up and said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "Then I'll leave first."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and replied: "See you later."
"Can you go back earlier?" Hamasaki asked him.
Iwahashi Shinichi denied it, "Maybe I will go back very late."
"But it's better to be earlier." The reason why Hamasaki Ayumi didn't realize that his words were rude was probably because when he said these words, he didn't think about anything, just a simple expectation.
This also made Iwahashi Shinichi not care too much about her and waved goodbye to her.
…
Utada Hikaru stood at the door of the room, watching Akina Mori clean up the room for Hamasaki Ayumi.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They are all girls living at home. When preparing a room for Hamasaki, they naturally chose the one next to Utada Hikari. Nakamori Akina closed and prepared the guest room
things and replaced them with various items specially purchased for the girl.
Watching Akina Nakamori tidying up Ayumi Hamasaki's room, it seems she saw her preparing for his arrival.
"The decoration is very cute, Akina-chan."
Utada Hikaru looked at the lively-colored room. Nakamori Akina was good at getting along with children. When Utada Hikaru moved in, the two got along well. In private, Utada Hikaru called her "Akina-chan".
In fact, Iwahashi Shinichi already knew what Hikaru Utada called Akina Nakamori in private. For this reason, when the couple chatted, he even jokingly complained to his wife that Hikaru Utada only called her "Akina-chan" in private, in front of him.
Shi Lao honestly called him "Mingcai-san", which seemed like he was too serious.
Akina Nakamori teased her husband: "Hikaru can't call you 'Shinichi-chan'."
This is true. One person is called "Iwahashi-san" and the other person is called "Akina-chan". They are still under the same roof. It sounds weird and makes Iwahashi Shinichi more serious.
Iwahashi Shinichi was so convinced by his wife's explanation that he turned a blind eye and became a serious Ogissan from then on.
"Hikari and Ayu should get along well." Akina Nakamori turned around.
Utada Hikaru thought of the girl who looked fashionable and bright, but seemed to be having trouble, and blinked, "Ayu and I are neighbors now."
Nakamori Akina was amused by her words and didn't care that Utada Hikaru did not agree to "get along well with Ayu".
In the evening, the clerk sent Ayumi Hamasaki back. In front of the entrance, there was still the luggage that was brought with her. Nakamori Akina and Utada Mitsumasa were deciding on tonight's menu. When they heard the noise, they got up and went to greet her.
The puppy Kenta barked twice, stretched out his legs, and ran over to watch the fun.
"Kenta~" Utada Hikari called it softly, gesturing for the puppy to come to him.
The puppy ran forward two steps, then ran back towards her. Utada Hikari squatted down, touched the puppy's head, and blinked his cunning eyes.
The puppy who loved to join in the fun left her again and ran towards the entrance. There, Akina Nakamori was saying thank you to Shinichi Iwahashi's clerk.
Hamasaki stood in front of the entrance and was greeted by Akina Nakamori. A beautiful-looking puppy ran over, stopped at Nakamori Akina's feet, barked at her, and tentatively ran over to sniff around.
"Welcome, Ayu~" Akina Nakamori smiled cordially.
...It’s different from the Akina-san I saw on the stage, and it’s different from the Akina-san I saw when we had dinner together before. Hamasaki thought to himself.
In this way, she moved into the home of the president-san and her favorite Akina-san. At this moment, Hamasaki felt something incredible. But the atmosphere full of family feeling gave her a strong feeling of breaking into a family.
a feeling of.
Ayumi Hamasaki raised her eyes and saw Hikari Utada walking slowly towards her. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
…
The spring break was over, and because Utada Terumi and Fuji Keiko were still continuing their travel tour in Africa, Utada Hikaru's enrollment in the new semester had to be taken care of by Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori.
However, given the couple's wonderful way of getting along, no news is the best news, and news may mean breaking the record for the number of divorces.
Utada Hikaru is about to enter school, and Hamasaki Ayumi is also about to officially enroll in the arts class of Horikoshi High School. Iwahashi Shinichi's clerk and Nakamori Akina's assistant are really busy with this.
Arrangements were made for Hamasaki Ayumi's enrollment, and a big event came to fruition.
Before Shinichi Iwahashi had time to consider the next arrangements for Ayumi Hamasaki, of course he would no longer be working as an actor. To become a singer, the necessary training courses would begin one after another.
But until Iwahashi Shinichi feels that she can officially debut, during this period of time, whether she will live like an ordinary girl or engage in some entertainment activities, Iwahashi Shinichi still has not made up her mind.
Of course, it would be best to wait until Hamasaki's life in Tokyo gets on the right track before asking her what she thinks.
Shinichi Iwahashi hired a girl from the film and television department, and the news spread throughout the industry within a few days.
The film department is not dissatisfied with giving up an unknown newcomer who has not yet been officially acquired in exchange for more cooperation opportunities in the future. In the industry, there is someone else who really ridicules Shinichi Iwahashi for his domineering behavior.
But no matter how we look at Shinichi Iwahashi's actions this time, the industry has cast a curious eye on this newcomer, wanting to know what kind of girl is worthy of Shinichi Iwahashi's publicity.
The girl's name is Ayumi Hamasaki. She is a local artist from Fukuoka. She starred in TV Asahi's current season's TV series "Twin Teachers". This is public information and it is not difficult to know. What really makes the industry curious is how Iwahashi Shinichi
treat her.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi neither took her to meet the producers of the TV station nor introduced her to people in the industry. He completely hid her behind his back. This approach made people feel mysterious at first, but gradually,
The industry's attention turned away from this.
In the entertainment industry, thousands of new groups of singers debut every year. In the recording industry alone, hundreds of groups of singers debut each year, or change their names and debut again. There are countless newcomers with high hopes. Before their official debut, no matter how promising the conditions are
, in fact, it is not enough.
In such a world, it is difficult to pay attention to an unknown person for too long, especially since she is deliberately hidden.
The industry's attention on Ayumi Hamasaki came and went quickly, and the attention focused on her dissipated, which was exactly what Iwahashi Shinichi wanted.
Tetsuya Komuro, on the other hand, had met Ayumi Hamasaki by chance in the recording studio before. Now, after learning that this girl had officially signed a contract with Shinichi Iwahashi, when he went to the company to meet with Shinichi Iwahashi to discuss the promotion of Hitomi Furuya's debut, he wanted to say a word to him.
Congratulations.
Although, by chance, Hamasaki had left a "thorny" impression on Tetsuya Komuro, in fact, in his heart, he didn't really like this girl that much, but after all, he was someone whom Shinichi Iwahashi valued.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Furutani Hitomi’s debut single has been produced, and the progress is going smoothly, as expected by Shinichi Iwahashi. After all, the singer handled by Tetsuya Komuro is recording
The efficiency of the room is extremely high.
This has something to do with Tetsuya Komuro's emphasis on the characteristics of a singer's voice without emphasizing singing skills, but it is also a reflection of Tetsuya Komuro's keen intuition and strong production ability.
In a sense, Tetsuya Komuro is the real recording studio tyrant. However, unlike those old-school producers who used to be polite and even cursed at singers, he is the kind of dictator who decides everything with a smile.
After the production of the single is completed, a batch of promotional discs must be pressed and sent to TV stations and radio broadcasting bureaus, as well as to record sellers. After that, the publicity before the official release is arranged and waiting for the number of orders from record sellers.
.
There is Tetsuya Komuro's golden signature, Hitomi Furuya's debut is very popular, Shinichi Iwahashi and Tetsuya Komuro are both confident about it.
After saying the most important thing, Tetsuya Komuro mentioned it to Shinichi Iwahashi: "I heard that the kid I met in the recording studio before signed a contract with the company."
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, "Does Komuro-san know about it too?"
"After all, it's the first time that the all-rounded Iwahashi-san wants someone, so it's quite a topic." Tetsuya Komuro teased him.
Iwahashi Shinichi was used to this guy's venomous nature and didn't take it seriously.
"After signing her, what are the next arrangements?" Tetsuya Komuro seemed a little regretful, "The last time I met that kid, I didn't listen to her recording."
Tetsuya Komuro himself did not bother to conceal the politeness in these words.
Shinichi Iwahashi knew what he was doing and responded: "Ayu is only fifteen years old. He has to wait a few more years before he can debut."
Tetsuya Komuro nodded, and in order to show his closeness, he said casually: "This child's name is Ayu." He didn't even remember Hamasaki Ayumi's name. From the looks of it, he had no interest in this girl from the beginning to the end.
This almost unabashed attitude seemed quite interesting to Shinichi Iwahashi.
