When the trend of the world blows, female high school students rush to the front line to chase it. Ayako is a trend-setter, and has an almost innocent stupidity that does not care about being ridiculed by the trend.
The disco established by Katsuto Matsuura with all his heart and soul set off a whirlwind in the world as soon as it opened. Ayako, a girl who is keen on chasing fashion, naturally learned about such a place at the first time.
In addition to being "popular", what attracts Ayako is that many celebrities patronize this disco. Not only that, because it is backed by the GENZO series, perhaps the next newcomer to be produced by Tetsuya Komuro will be discovered from here.
The light of the entertainment world, which Ayako could vaguely glimpse while standing on the periphery, was the most attracted to it.
"Ayu-chan, let's go tonight too!" Ayako encouraged, "Ayu-chan is so cute, maybe she will be chosen."
Hamasaki Ayumi did not comment on Ayako's proposal. But Ayako immediately said: "Not only will I have the opportunity to meet Komuro-san, maybe Iwahashi-san will also come over."
"...!!" The name of Shinichi Iwahashi came out of Ayako's mouth, which made Ayumi Hamasaki's heart skip a beat.
Her reaction fell into Ayako's eyes. Ayako showed a clear smile, "Ayu-chan is from the Iwahashi sect?" Her expression looked boring, "...but that's to be expected. You are a mysterious person to begin with.
Well."
Ayumi Hamasaki has not told anyone that he lives in Iwahashi Shinichi's home. In Ayako's eyes, Iwahashi Shinichi seems to be an old-school character who lacks interest, unlike Tetsuya Komuro, who is suave and full of unknown possibilities.
However, for Hamasaki Ayumi, Iwahashi Shinichi's airtight and solid personality is like a broad shadow projected towards him.
The two girls decided to repeat their same trick tonight, pretending to be adults and sneaking into the disco.
What motivates Ayumi Hamasaki is not the possibility that Ayako hypothesized that she might meet Tetsuya Komuro and be attracted by him, but the possibility that Shinichi Iwahashi might also pass by.
...But Shinichi Iwahashi took Utada Hikaru out in the morning, so he would not come to such an occasion in the evening.
Under the same roof, two girls who have never really confronted each other always influence each other by accident.
…
In the morning, Junko Haruyama and Mayiko Haruyama visited the record company as scheduled.
When the mother and daughter received such an invitation, even though they were nervous and nervous before setting off, in the end, pure joy overcame everything, allowing them to calm down and find the building where GENZO Records is located.
Iwahashi Shinichi originally didn't come to the company today, but came here because of Maiko Haruyama. Therefore, the most important thing in the whole morning was to wait for this little visitor.
He flipped through the documents on his desk casually, and Hikari Utada came over to chat with him, "What gift did Iwahashi-san prepare for Maiko-chan?"
Iwahashi Shinichi raised his head and asked her: "What gift does Xiaoguang think we should prepare?"
"If it's Xiaoguang, I'll be very happy if you give me little bear peripherals." Utada Hikaru answered without thinking.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled. He thought for a moment, opened the drawer, took out a piece of origami paper, and started moving his fingers. Utada Hikaru leaned over and looked at it, "Does Iwahashi-san still remember origami?"
"How could I forget?" Iwahashi Shinichi replied.
Utada Hikaru nodded, remained silent, and observed Iwahashi Shinichi's nimble fingers. After a while, a little bear gradually took shape.
"It's a bear with another way of folding. Akina-san found it in a newly published origami book." Shinichi Iwahashi still remembers the first origami bear he gave to Utada Hikaru.
Utada Hikaru said to him: "Akina-san seems to like origami more than Iwahashi-san."
She was explaining a fact, but unintentionally, Iwahashi Shinichi felt a bit subtle about what he said. However, the precocious and naive girl didn't know what she said.
Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but sigh: "Hikari has a natural insight."... He is not only a musical genius.
"What is that?" Utada Hikaru asked.
Iwahashi Shinichi did not answer. He slowly finished the origami bear work at hand and handed it to her, "If it's Xiaoguang, I will be very happy to receive the bear peripherals."
Utada Hikaru took the origami paper and suddenly said to him: "Akina-san also gave me an origami bear before."
Iwahashi Shinichi was stunned for a moment, "Really?"
"When I went out with Akina-san, on the road..." Utada Hikaru told him. Like a little adult, she commented seriously: "Akina-san, like Iwahashi-san, both use origami to coax children."
Iwahashi Shinichi's words to her made her laugh - but half of them were helpless. He pretended to be pity, "It turns out that Xiaoguang has already received it."
Utada Hikaru took it for granted, "If it's about bears, no amount is too much."
"Anyway, you're happy?"
She nodded, "I'm very happy... Iwahashi-san and Akina-san have completely thought of going together, which is also very interesting." Utada Hikaru added the next sentence seriously.
I always feel like they are a stupid couple to be laughed at by a ten-year-old kid.
Iwahashi Shinichi had nothing to do with this child - but compared to the time when he had nothing to do with another child in the family, being teased by Utada Hikari was just funny and helpless at best, but he didn't feel a headache at all.
Adolescent girls are unpredictable, and Ayumi Hamasaki, especially Shinichi Iwahashi, feels this way.
While he was chatting with Utada Hikari, the clerk announced that the mother and daughter Haruyama Junko and Haruyama Maiko had arrived. Utada Hikaru's eyes sparkled, "What kind of child is he?"
She was full of pure curiosity about Maiko Haruyama who was about to visit.
A child who can write letters seriously and firmly believes that one day she will receive a reply. Such a child, Maiko Haruyama, has a precious light shining between the lines of her words.
Shinichi Iwahashi looked at the child, "Hikaru, do you think we should give Maiko-chan origami as a gift?" She answered the question that she had avoided answering before.
Utada Hikaru said: "I don't know."
However, when he met Iwahashi Shinichi for the first time, he gave Utada Hikaru origami as a gift.
To entertain Maiko Haruyama, a loyal supporter of GENZO Records, Shinichi Iwahashi of course prepared a gift for her. Hikaru Utada was curious about what Shinichi Iwahashi prepared for Maiko Haruyama. Rather than curious about the content of the gift, he was more curious about whether it would be
"Origami".
Iwahashi Shinichi's "I don't know" made Utada Hikari laugh. He thought about it and discussed with her, "Wait a minute, how about giving Hikaru a task?"
He suggested: "When you meet Maiko-chan, just ask her what animals she likes. However, it's a bit strange to ask her like this when we first meet, so I'll let you, Xiaoguang, take the lead and ask her quietly."
Utada Hikaru looked at Shinichi Iwahashi who was serious about making plans, and couldn't help but sigh——
I always felt abandoned by this child. Iwahashi Shinichi felt this way.
