At the end of this year, because the group’s schedule is full, none of the girls from Super Monkey’s can go back to Okinawa to celebrate the New Year.
From Fukuoka to Osaka, from Nagoya to Tokyo, the performances continued. When they first set foot on the land of Hokkaido, these girls from the southern island saw the scenery of the snow country for the first time in their lives and were amazed.
Suddenly falling from the closed island into the vast world, this strong impact distracted them from their understanding of their own situation. Therefore, they were unable to discover the scene at this moment.
The single released by the group during the Christmas period entered the top ten of the singles chart, setting a new record for the group since their debut. Because of this, there are endless shows at the end of the year.
However, the more programs they appear on, the stronger the girls’ experience of being constantly poured cold water on——
When they exchanged glances in private, this group of "girls" no longer included Namie Amuro.
Although in the hearts of these girls who came to Tokyo from Okinawa together, Amuro Namie is their companion, and this has not changed to this day.
However, when she came to Tokyo, she debuted under the name “Super Monkey’s”. Today, Namie Amuro is the undoubted centerpiece, her promotional photos are enlarged, and the others are like a few grains of rice dropped randomly next to them.
Falling into such a situation, the girls have to adjust their mentality and accept the reality of becoming a back member. When facing Namie Amuro, the friendship of companions who came to Tokyo to work together is still there, but unconsciously, there is some space.
Open up to her again.
The future is complicated, and the girls seem neither excited nor regretful about staying in Tokyo at the end of the year.
The underage girls live in dormitories arranged by the office, under the same roof.
After ten o'clock in the evening, the recording of tonight's program ended, and the girl who walked into the dormitory door looked like a sheep huddled together.
Makino Anna walked at the end, looking at these girls like a shepherd. She told the girls who had relaxed: "Good night, everyone~ Come on tomorrow morning."
When she came to Tokyo, Anna Makino was the only adult member of the group. But soon, she quit the group and became the representative in contact with agencies and record companies.
This young woman, a dancer, is the daughter of the principal of the Okinawa Performing Arts School. The Makino family is an established family in the performing arts industry. Anna Makino is not so much the spokesperson of the girls as the manager of the girls.
The girls walked in, with Amuro Namie at the end. Makino Anna said in a brisk tone, "Amuro-chan, don't forget the reception tomorrow night."
Amuro Namie replied: "Yes." She raised her head and asked, "Am I the only one participating?"
Makino Anna smiled and patted her shoulder, "Good night."
During these days in Tokyo, no matter who you are, they are no longer as naive as they were at the beginning.
Namie Amuro walked into the dormitory with a calm expression. The girls were laughing, and when she smiled, her companions still accepted her and let her join in the laughter.
Baba Shunichi and Hirai Tetsuo both made no secret of their desire to treat the other members of Super Monkey’s as expendable items that could be discarded immediately.
Not only did Namie Amuro receive first-class treatment, she also continued to receive compliments such as "talented". The girls only knew that they had changed from a formal member of the group to a back member, and they did not know the true fate of their arrangement.
But Namie Amuro remained silent and was already aware of this.
She has keen feelings, but she doesn't show them at all. This kind of nonchalance can be said to be gentleness towards her companions, or it can be said to be pretentious. However, no matter how she is viewed, she remains unmoved.
The companions have a space that is no longer open to Namie Amuro, and Namie Amuro, from beginning to end, has a realm deep in her heart that her companions cannot enter, or even have a chance to glimpse.
This girl has a strong heart. When she came to Tokyo, she had a goal that she must achieve. That was the reason why she joined the Okinawa Arts School. In order to achieve her goal, she must accept the reality of drastic changes in her life.
But apart from that, one thing that remains unchanged is that the person who came to Okinawa together was her young friend.
At this time, I still had time to call my mother who was far away in Okinawa.
Namie Amuro returned to the room, picked up the receiver, and waited for the other end of the phone to be picked up.
…
This girl is only a teenager, but she already looks like an adult. Whether she is following her manager to visit the TV station, or communicating with the producer in the recording studio, she always behaves intelligently and appropriately.
Anyone who can reach the top will not be a fool. Even so, this girl is also a smart person among smart people.
The longer I have been in Tokyo, the more the radiance of Namie Amuro cannot be ignored.
The success of the new single is certainly due to its closeness to the popular Komuro style, but today, both Baba Shunichi and Hirai Tetsuo are willing to attribute this credit to Amuro Namie's innate talent.
.
This chocolate-skinned country girl is a real diamond in the rough. Entering the cruel entertainment world, instead of consuming her, it makes her shine brighter and brighter.
The girls who came to Tokyo with her were increasingly unable to compare with her.
When he set his sights on Okinawa, Taira Tetsuo showed his determination to manage these girls from Okinawa as a lifelong career. His ally Baba Shunichi, who was attracted by him, also reciprocated this belief. At that time, they saw Amuro Nami
Megumi was different. Even so, the talent Amuro Namie showed at this moment was far beyond their expectations.
Now, the year is coming to an end and the goal is within sight.
Baba Shunichi and Hei Tetsuo couldn't wait to realize their higher ambitions.
Push this girl to the throne of a real superstar. Not only that, this girl will also become a bullet that breaks the myth created by Shinichi Iwahashi.
At the reception tonight, all the important figures in the industry appeared.
Tetsuo Taira personally took Namie Amuro and introduced her to the people present. Anna Makino came with him, and she was treated with great courtesy because of her surname "Makino".
"This is Amuro Namie-chan, the treasure of RISING PRODUCTION."
"Is it the 'disciple' that Komuro-san has never met?"
The TV producer's tone was teasing, and Taira Tetsuo smiled and asked, "A disciple of Komuro-san...does such a thing happen?"
"It's going to be spread all over the world these days." The producer looked at the girl and found it interesting, "Let her meet Komuro-san, it will definitely be interesting. Amuro... Namie-chan."
He repeated the girl's name. Ping Zhefu had an unchanging smile on his face, which seemed to be a compliment, but there was a hint of shrewd coldness in his eyes.
Psychological tactics are not something that only Shinichi Iwahashi can use.
