It's a long summer day, it's almost seven o'clock, and the sky is still bright.
After the TOKIO boys left with their manager, Iwahashi Shinichi said hello to Akamatsu Haruko and came out of the recording studio with the two girls. His clerk had quietly bought him snacks to take home.
While the car was driving, Shinichi Iwahashi remembered it and said casually: "That Nagase-kun from TOKIO also acted in the same TV series as you."
Hamasaki Ayumi was worried about his unexpected encounter with Nagase Tomoya and felt awkward. Suddenly when he heard Shinichi Iwahashi mention this person's name, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide, as if he had been misunderstood about a secret.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care about the girl's reaction at all, and just sighed: "Nagase-kun is now considered a popular idol."
Hamasaki replied dryly: "Nagase-kun is a popular idol, I am nothing."
A moment of silence.
Shinichi Iwahashi did not misunderstand that Ayumi Hamasaki was complaining or self-pitying.
Utada Hikaru suddenly complained: "What Iwahashi-san said just now seems like an adult who randomly compares his own children with other people's children."
"What?"
Iwahashi Shinichi received a comment that he never expected. He didn't expect that the two girls were on the same side. He found it interesting and joked with Utada Hikari: "If you both become singers in the future, you will be better."
Ayumi Hamasaki asked abruptly: "Then who is 'other people's child' between me and Xiaoguang?"
This question seemed to be waiting here. The two girls unknowingly completed their first singing and harmony. They hit Shinichi Iwahashi with a beautiful combo, and the two girls exchanged glances.
Shinichi Iwahashi was speechless, and was defeated for the first time by the combination of two girls.
In the recording studio just now, he did notice Hamasaki Ayumi's sudden and subtle emotions after Nagase Tomoya appeared. However, he had no intention of interfering with the friendship of adolescent girls.
The mention of Tomoya Nagase was somewhat motivated by the emotion of remembering that Ayumi Hamasaki was once a bad teenage actress. Although Ayumi Hamasaki said something like that, seeing her singing along with Hikari Utada didn't make anyone worried.
Thinking of this, he finally said: "It's not yet time for you."
Coming out as a real superhero is not the same thing as being a pop idol star.
Little idols are common, but big stars are rare.
Ayumi Hamasaki didn't answer, but she knew what Shinichi Iwahashi was talking about.
Instead, Utada Hikaru asked: "When?"
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled helplessly, thinking that this girl was determined to side with another girl today. He replied: "You won't have the time."
Unwilling to, Utada Hikaru asked again: "Are Ayu and I the same 'time'?"
Iwahashi Shinichi became more serious and told her: "Different fruits will mature in different seasons."
"That being said, there is no need to compare."
This child's precocious intelligence is astonishing.
Ayumi Hamasaki was stunned for a moment. Shinichi Iwahashi was also touched in his heart, and then thought that what Hikaru Utada made was her own declaration of "I am just me".
The two girls living at home have the same superstar temperament flowing in their personalities.
…
In the evening, Shinichi Iwahashi took two girls home. The sound of the three people entering the door alerted the puppy and came to join in the fun. There was a huge noise in front of the entrance.
Akina Nakamori was pregnant, and Hikaru Utada and Ayumi Hamasaki stood together. The two girls followed Shinichi Iwahashi, and the Iwahashi family also had a lively entrance, somewhat like a noisy big family.
The wife came to greet the young and old who returned home late at night. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but smile.
When the child is born, the entrance to the Iwahashi family will be so lively every night in the future. With the new life in her belly, Nakamori Akina looks forward to the child's arrival and can't help but start imagining the future life again. The lively harmony of the girls arouses her
imagination.
However, today's imagination is no longer floating in the air, but is something tangible that she can feel.
"Welcome back."
She greeted with a smile.
Iwahashi Shin handed over the snack box and said, "I brought you snacks."
Akina Nakamori took it and looked at the two girls: "Let's share the snacks, okay?" Even when looking at Ayumi Hamasaki, she was very natural.
A few days ago, the storm this awkward girl caused at home has also become a page that has been turned.
Akina Nakamori no longer plays the role of a guardian, but looks more like an elder. This is because she is pregnant with a new life.
However, girls have no way of knowing this.
Hamasaki Ayumi felt that after Akina-san became pregnant, she became a stranger in his eyes. Maybe it was because she was too close to the person she yearned for, so she had random thoughts.
Just after nine o'clock, the phone at home rang. It was Zhang Zi.
At the beginning of the summer vacation, Ayumi Hamasaki did not return to Fukuoka, so Akiko simply came to Tokyo. This phone call was to tell her daughter that she would go to Beijing next weekend.
After not seeing each other for several months, Zhang Zi still looked innocent and romantic on the phone. She told her daughter: "If you come to see Ayu, you can come to Tokyo."
He said it as if he was just dropping by to see his daughter.
Zhang Zi likes to make sarcastic remarks and joke with her daughter, but if you ask her, she will readily admit that half of the jokes are true. Zhang Zi just yearns for Tokyo.
Ayumi Hamasaki answered the call and listened to his mother's joke, but thought that his choice to stay in Tokyo during the summer vacation might be the same as his mother's joke.
In fact, I also yearn for Tokyo, so after I made up my mind to sing for Iwahashi-san, I came here without hesitation. And after what happened, I stayed here shamelessly.
She is her mother's daughter. Needless to say, Zhang Zi is a true mother.
Now, in this family, Akina-san will also become a mother.
Ayumi Hamasaki finished answering the phone and returned to the living room. His eyes couldn't help but be glued to Akina Nakamori. Akina-san looked the same as before.
Is this Akina-san about to become a mother?
In fact, Hamasaki Ayumi never had such a solid feeling that Nakamori Akina was about to become a mother.
Iwahashi Shinichi was playing checkers with Utada Hikari, while Nakamori Akina watched the game. Hamasaki's eyes were glued to her, and she was naturally noticed. She raised her head, revealing a moment of confusion.
Ayumi Hamasaki said: "It was a call from my mother. She said she was coming to Tokyo next weekend."
Iwahashi Shinichi also turned to look at her.
Ayumu Hamasaki was a little embarrassed to be in the spotlight for something like this. This is her childish side. Akina Nakamori showed a careless look, "Ayu-chan hasn't met Akiko-san during the summer vacation."
Iwahashi Shinichi listened for a while and continued to play chess with Utada Hikari. He casually chatted with Utada Hikaru: "It seems that next weekend, it will be Hikari who will go with us to Chieko-san's place again."
"I only went there with Akina-san before." Utada Hikaru replied to him.
Shinichi Iwahashi wanted to laugh at himself and said: "It sounds like you don't want to go with me."
