Yukiko Okada's management contract officially ends on March 31, and her retirement concert is scheduled to be held on the last day of the contract.
This retirement concert will be the last job in her contract. At the end of the concert, from the moment she exits the stage, her idol career officially comes to an end and she opens a new chapter in her life.
This kind of arrangement plan is quite meaningful, and sunmusic can be considered as careful.
"It was Mizoguchi-san's suggestion." Okada Yukiko explained to Iwahashi Shinichi.
This time, Mizoguchi Noburo personally served as the producer of Okada Yukiko's retirement concert.
From the moment Yukiko Okada chose to retire after the showdown of her contract, Noburo Mizoguchi began to make preparations. Starting a year before the end of the contract, he began to adjust Yukiko Okada's work.
After discovering Noriko Sakai, his ardent hopes were transferred to this new person for whom he had high hopes. But even so, before Okada Yukiko retired, he still made time to prepare for her retirement.
.
"Mizoguchi-san takes good care of you," Iwahashi Shinichi said.
However, I couldn’t help but think that first I had high hopes for Okada Yukiko and then devoted my efforts to Sakai Noriko. I really don’t know whether this agent has vision or lack of vision, good luck or bad luck.
Already.
"Mizoguchi-san is a good person," Okada Yukiko said. "It was Mizoguchi-san who brought me to Tokyo from Nagoya."
When she got into trouble, Mizoguchi Noburo hid the suicide note and returned it to her intact. His uprightness saved Okada Yukiko on the other hand.
"How's it going? Iwahashi-san." Okada Yukiko brought the topic back, "Can you come?"
Shinichi Iwahashi readily agreed, "Since it is your retirement concert, of course I will go. I will also cheer for you in the audience."
Hearing what he said, Okada Yukiko on the other end of the phone smiled cheerfully, "Then I will start to imagine you cheering for me now."
"Really?" Shinichi Iwahashi also laughed, "That makes me look more handsome."
"You are very handsome..."
Okada Yukiko felt a little embarrassed when she said this, so she raised her voice and changed the subject, "Then I will send the tickets to your company later, okay?"
"I should have delivered it to you in person, but my schedule this month was really tight," she said.
Iwahashi Shinichi naturally sympathized with her busy schedule before retiring.
The day after making the call, Yukiko Okada sent the tickets to Genzo's office in Kawasaki City by express mail, and the staff stationed there helped sign for them.
Iwahashi Shinichi was busy with the things at hand. He occasionally returned to the office on the way and opened it. In addition to the tickets, there was also a handwritten text message inside:
"Iwahashi-san, I look forward to having you come to my concert."
The handwriting is neat and elegant, giving people the impression of an top student.
Iwahashi Shinichi read the letter, put the tickets and the text message into the envelope, and put them in a drawer in his office. On the last day of March in the itinerary, he wrote down the mark "Yukiko Concert" and continued to devote himself to work.
…
February 27, TV Asahi.
The amateur bands waiting to participate in the show were gathered in a large lounge to wait.
Bands with different compositions, different costumes, and different genres gather here, it's like a carriage on the Orient Express
What?
This is entertainment, not detective, let alone a famous detective and a villain who deserves his punishment.
However, there was a man in black who was wearing a giraffe hood and mingling in there as if nothing happened.
In such a room, Shinichi Iwahashi wearing a giraffe hood is not eye-catching at all. Anyway, there are all kinds of strange people here.
Even if someone occasionally sets their sights on this giraffe man, they will quickly move away, just like looking at the band members wearing heavy makeup or wearing strange clothes, without any unnecessary interest.
Sitting here, in the same room with amateur bands, my identity has changed from a selector at the representative table to a candidate waiting to be selected.
This program was planned by him and participated in the entire production. Because of the change of identity, it wonderfully brought him a kind of excitement that he had never had before.
"Kirin-kun"
I was a little bored waiting for the show to start. Miwa Yoshida, who was sitting next to Shinichi Iwahashi, approached him, almost lying on his shoulder, and talked to him cheek to cheek.
Wearing a hood will affect your hearing. In addition, in such an occasion where everyone is gathered together, if you speak too loudly, people will look down on you, so you have to speak in a low voice, face to face.
Although Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't feel the warmth of Miwa-chan's face, Miwa-chan could only touch the furry headband.
"Kirin-kun" is Shinichi Iwahashi's stage name in the band, which was decided two weeks before he participated in the show. Kirin means giraffe. This nickname has no technical content and has no special meaning.
Since Iwahashi Shinichi wears a giraffe hood to cover his face, he has to do everything in a complete manner. If he calls out "Shinichi-kun" while talking backstage and someone hears him, the vest will fall off first.
Thinking further, if he wins the prize and Yuji Miyake introduces the members to the audience, there must be a name that can be announced to everyone.
…
Speaking of nicknames, Miwa-chan actually thought of a bunch of various names for him, the number of which was comparable to that of Shinichi Iwahashi who came up with a bunch of band names that he had been thinking about when he decided to form DreamseTrue.
However, Miwa-chan has absolutely no talent for naming, and is not as good as Iwahashi Shinichi, whom she once disliked.
All the strange names were rejected by Shinichi Iwahashi, but he finally made the final decision, "Just call me Kirin. It's simple and easy to understand."
Miwa-chan decided to decide her own name. After being rejected by him, Miwa-chan could only admit that she was a bad namer. From then on, as long as he wore a hood, he would call him "Kirin-kun".
Having said that, Japanese is also quite interesting.
Giraffe is pronounced kirin (キリン) in Japanese, and unicorn is also pronounced kirin (きりん) in Japanese. If you think about it this way, the stage name "kirin" is quite majestic.
However, by the way, if there is no Kirin trademark, Kirin beer can also be called Giraffe beer.
There will be a deduction for playing homophonic jokes!
…
The staff of the program team stood at the door of the lounge and called the bands from the first and second groups to go and wait.
The called band stood up and walked out of the lounge.
"It's eleven o'clock."
There are still twenty minutes left before the live broadcast starts, and their band is scheduled to appear fourth, from one to four, which won't be long.
As soon as Iwahashi Shin's vision was obstructed by the hood he was wearing, his thoughts were wandering around. He was thinking that by this time, Akamatsu Haruko and Watanabe Manyumi would have already sat on the representatives' table.
"The show is about to begin."
Miwa-chan said, reaching out and holding Iwahashi Shinichi's hand.
