Chisato Moritaka returned to the stage, wearing a simple white T-shirt and a sailor-style mini skirt. She had just danced and sang for so long, her cheeks were flushed, and there were beads of sweat rolling down her cheeks.
She accepted the gifts and cheers from the audience, raised the microphone to her mouth, and said, "Thank you everyone for the encore."
Chisato Moritaka smiled and asked: "Then, can you let me sing for a while?"
"oh!!"
In response, the audience cheered enthusiastically.
…
Shinichi Iwahashi, who was sitting in the audience seat, personally witnessed this successful concert.
The atmosphere of Encore is also quite good. The current situation proves that the transformation route prepared for Chisato Moritaka is correct. However, such improvement is not enough. The goal must be more ambitious.
Now Sentaka Senri needs an opportunity to take her fame to the next level. For an idol, the best choice for this opportunity is a work.
A total of three songs were sung during the encore.
And when the three songs were finished and Chisato Moritaka took his second curtain call, the audience who were about to leave in order suddenly realized that things were not that simple.
First, the audience sitting in the front row made an unexpected sound. The audience in the back row was affected and looked back at the stage.
On the big screen, two lines of large characters appeared:
"Chisato Moritaka's new album is scheduled to be released, and the concert has been decided to be added!"
While the audience cheered, Shinichi Iwahashi stared at these two lines of characters, but what he was thinking about was, when the new album is released, how should he choose the single that he is about to take over?
There is no work that is decided before its release, and the release and promotion period for Chisato Moritaka's new album is the time left for him to prepare and produce.
The next move is not only related to Moritaka Chisato's future, but also to the future of Iwahashi Shinichi and Genzo.
In the initial stage, nothing can win you more opportunities and reputation than producing good works.
Akiko Matsumoto is his "work" that he is proud of. If possible, Shinichi Iwahashi hopes that Chisato Moritaka can also become his "work" that he is proud of.
Iwahashi Shinichi had a vague outline in his mind, but how to make this outline clear was still a question that needed to be considered.
…
On Monday morning, Watanabe Manyumi sat at the dining table with her mother.
"Then, I will go back today, mother." Watanabe Wan Yumi said.
Misa Watanabe said "Oh" and put the soup into her mouth with a spoon as if nothing had happened.
After breakfast, mother and daughter left the table, and the servant Yoshiko began to clear the table. Watanabe Manyumi went upstairs to prepare for going out. She had a plan for the week, and she was very busy today.
At this time, the pager suddenly rang.
Watanabe Wan Yumi went over to pick it up and looked at the number. She picked up the phone and called back. After a while, she walked downstairs briskly and said, "Mother!"
Misa Watanabe raised her head.
Watanabe Manyumi has already changed into professional attire for going out. The straight suit pants have elongated the lines of her legs. However, her hair style, which she has not had time to modify, has diluted the sophistication that the professional attire brings to her and makes her aura.
A little softer.
When Misao Watanabe saw the cheerful expression on her daughter's face, she knew something good must have happened.
Sure enough, without her having to ask, Watanabe Manyumi told her, "The ratings for the last issue are out." She took a deep breath, "20.2, and the highest instant rating reached 24.7 when Begin won the championship. Of course,
It’s also the highest ratings since the show started airing.”
"...!!"
Misa Watanabe was speechless for a moment when she heard the number reported by her daughter.
20.2 What is the concept?
There is a huge difference between 19 and 20. Once it exceeds 20, it is undoubtedly a prime-time viewing period. Although Band Paradise is not a traditional late-night time slot, it is definitely not a prime-time time slot when it starts airing at 11:20.
When TV Asahi was able to get a ratings of around 15 in the past, it was already satisfied. How could it have been imagined that a poorly done talent show that was not favored by others could break through the 20 mark?
"20.2."
After a while, Misa Watanabe repeated the number again. The pause seemed to give herself a gap to digest. Then, her surprise turned to relief.
Hearing the ratings figures early in the morning, Watanabe Wanyumi was very motivated. After reporting to her mother, she went upstairs and quickly but unhurriedly finished the unfinished preparations for going out. While combing her hair, she remembered
Shinichi Iwahashi is here.
When I told my mother about the ratings, I still had a desire to prove to her that I was on the right path. In comparison, my desire to share the joy with Shinichi Iwahashi seemed even more pure.
The program was prepared with him, and the person who wants to share the current victory most is undoubtedly him.
"I'm leaving, mother."
Walking downstairs again, the person who appeared in front of Misa Watanabe was a dressed-up Manumi Watanabe who had put away the softness of home.
"Be careful on the road." Misa Watanabe said.
The servant Rongzi saw Watanabe Mayumi out. Watanabe Misao looked at her daughter's straightened back and high-spirited back, and felt mixed emotions in her heart.
The band Heaven was successful and Wan Yumi showed her talents.
After leaving Watanabe Productions...
Watanabe Manyumi went out, first went to u-miz for a meeting, and finished handling office matters. At one o'clock in the afternoon, she went to TV Asahi to attend the regular meeting after the program was broadcast.
When we arrived at the office, there was still some time before the meeting started. Watanabe Manyumi thought for a while, picked up the phone, and called Shinichi Iwahashi.
After waiting for a while, Shinichi Iwahashi called back.
"Shinichi-kun."
As soon as Watanabe Manyumi answered the phone, she couldn't hold back the smile on her face.
Shinichi Iwahashi on the other end of the phone sounded in a good mood, "Good morning, Wan Yumi-san."
Watanabe Wanyumi was filled with excitement and wanted to share with him the joy of hearing the ratings. Originally, she could talk about it later when they met at TV Asahi, but she couldn't wait to tell him about it.
She was almost like a little girl who couldn't hold her breath, but she didn't feel there was anything wrong with this.
"Shenyi-kun..." She was about to speak.
As a result, Iwahashi Shinichi stopped her, "Don't say anything yet, let me guess."
On the other side of the phone, after a pause, Iwahashi Shinichi's voice came, "20.2, right?"
Watanabe Wan Yumi was startled, and then the two of them laughed in unison across the phone line. Joy filled her heart, and she was moved by the connection between her and him.
There is no need to answer directly whether it is right or wrong, laughter gives the answer.
"I was surprised when I heard it this morning, but it was also expected..." Shinichi Iwahashi said to her on the other end of the phone.
"Yes." Watanabe Wanyumi replied.
What a blessing it is to be able to share the joy with like-minded people in life!
