The idols who don't want to leave any regrets and the audience who don't want to leave any regrets, working together with such simple wishes, made the atmosphere of the entire concert surpass every one Yukiko Okada has had since her debut.
Even if the bosozoku teenagers in strange clothes are usually avoided by people outside, at this moment, when they wave their light sticks to send support, the audience, who are also fans, do not feel noisy.
Iwahashi Shinichi watched Okada Yukiko's performance and saw her performance on the stage. While being infected by her wonderful singing and solid and steady style, he couldn't help but think in his heart that she was worthy of receiving Suni's orthodox idol training.
, an idol created as the successor to Seiko Matsuda.
Although it may not be top-notch in terms of strength, overall, the standard is definitely first-rate.
With the development of the times, idol models are constantly being updated. In the past, the "orthodox youth group" who started from the most basic things and cultivated them little by little has become less and less. The public's tastes tend to be more personalized idols.
.
Once Yukiko Okada retired, the orthodox idols trained according to the model of cultivating Yukiko Okada became the face of Suni. At the same time, they were also the last defense of the traditional model by traditional managers like Noburo Mizoguchi.
Shinichi Iwahashi, who gave Yukiko Okada a standing ovation when she made her debut, sat in his seat and enjoyed her performance after the performance started.
Akina Nakamori stood up with him tacitly. Although the two were next to each other, they did not communicate anymore. Instead, they looked towards the direction of the stage again like two ordinary audience members.
This approach may not be out of a tacit understanding. Just like when we first met at the Budokan, we regard the matter of "watching the performance as an ordinary audience" as a feeling for Okada Yukiko on the stage and for each other.
respect.
…
The concert lasted until the end, and Yukiko Okada mentioned the topic of "the end" for the first time.
Before the word was uttered, it was a grand concert that was far more cheerful and lively than before. And when the music stopped and she said the word "finally", her regret was like a pebble thrown into water.
, like ripples on the water, spreading from the stage to the entire venue.
"Today is the last performance."
During the encore session, Yukiko Okada returned to the stage and faced the audience with her signature innocent and pure smile from when she debuted.
When she debuted, she was innocent and innocent, and was called "the little princess from the land of love." When she was still participating in the "Star! Birth" competition, she captured the hearts of many viewers with her smile.
Later, the girl's innocent smile was stained with a little sadness, and her eyes were no longer as lively and lively as before. For a time, she looked worrying, like a lifeless plastic flower or a soulless doll.
"It has been four years since I debuted as a singer."
From the big screen, you can see Okada Yukiko's eyes sparkling, as if she has put eye drops. But those are not artificial eye drops, but natural expressions of emotion.
Compared with when he first debuted, his eyes are no longer so innocent, but after getting through that bad time and picking himself up, he has regained his agility and liveliness.
"When I was young, I dreamed of becoming an idol. Later, I participated in "Star! Birth" and debuted as an idol. I sang songs by many outstanding musicians and gained such great fans."
Okada Yukiko paused and said, "My dream has come true, and I feel very happy."
"Come on, Yukiko!!"
Such encouragement came from the audience.
From the moment she decided to focus on her studies and reduce her work as an idol, to the announcement that she was going to retire. It seems that after she decided not to be obsessed with being an idol, Okada Yukiko had more smiles on her face, and she no longer showed the same personality as before. The worrying state gradually regained its vitality again.
Such a significant change lets fans know that Okada Yukiko's decision to retire is extremely firm. Therefore, since they are still willing to come to this venue for her and cheer for her final performance, they can only wish her well.
"Thank you! Thank you everyone!"
Hearing the encouragement from the audience, Okada Yukiko choked up and bowed vigorously to the audience.
She decided to retire, stay away from the public eye, and choose a new life path. Faced with the support from the audience, Okada Yukiko felt a little guilty, but more grateful.
Before her debut, she aimed to become an idol. After her debut, she worked hard to become an "orthodox idol". She thought she had understood what kind of career an idol was, but until she reached the last step of her idol career and stood at the Budokan venue, she The last piece of the puzzle regarding the understanding of idols was filled in, and at the same time, I became aware of the meaning of idols again.
Idol work is to bring dreams to the audience, and idols carry the dreams of their supporters. It is because of realizing this that Yukiko Okada is even more grateful to the people who came to the venue today.
When she announced her retirement, the dreams of her supporters could no longer continue. However, they were still willing to come to support her and send blessings to her for the new life she was about to start. She couldn't help but be touched by the tenderness of the audience.
"After today's concert ends, I, Okada Yukiko, will officially retire from the entertainment industry." After saying these words, Okada Yukiko finally couldn't bear the tears anymore, turned away and covered them with one hand. Close your eyes.
"come on!"
"Yukiko-chan!"
The audience shouted her name loudly.
Okada Yukiko calmed down and continued, "From now on, I will continue to live as an ordinary person. Although I have left the stage, in the past four years, from the audience and fans, I will remember the support and love I received throughout my life. Even as an ordinary person, I will carry the memories of these four years with me and carry on with dignity."
"Thank you very much for everything so far and everything in the future!"
After saying this, Okada Yukiko bowed deeply and did not straighten up for a long time. During this long bow, a hoarse male voice suddenly sounded from the audience, "Thank you! Yukiko!"
Then, as if they were awakened, the audience in the audience also shouted to Okada Yukiko on the stage: "Thank you! Yukiko!"
Although the dream of supporting Yukiko is about to wake up at this point, it is because of Yukiko's existence that such a dream is possible.
When the idols on the stage thank their fans, the fans in the audience are also grateful to the idols.
…
The constant "Thank you" caused Okada Yukiko's already weak tear ducts to burst completely, and her tears made it impossible to continue the concert.
As she cried, the audience began to applaud her.
Being in such a venue, looking at Okada Yukiko who couldn't help crying, Nakamori Akina's tear ducts seemed to be stimulated.
When I first met Okada Yukiko, she still regarded becoming an idol as a path she had to take in life. The high expectations placed on her by the agency did not crush her, but made her very motivated.
At that time, Yukiko neither felt the heavy pressure placed on her nor knew anything about the bitterness of love.
When Yukiko understood these things, almost risked her own life for it, and was finally able to choose to return to her original nature and walk on another path, Nakamori Akina was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.
However, seeing her tears reminded her of herself.
Once upon a time, she also regarded the rapid retreat, getting married, raising a husband and raising children as an inevitable path in life. Even if she endured pain for this, she firmly believed that she could reach the end.
The family that Akina Nakamori lived in as a child lacked love and warmth, and she wanted to build her own family. In this desire, there may not be a hidden psychology of resistance. Having a home of her own would enable her to mentally escape from her family of origin.
If you have a home of your own, then the wounds of the past can be healed and everything can start again.
She liked Yamaguchi Momoe when she was a child, and her perfect life template was Yamaguchi Momoe. If she wanted to have a happy family after becoming an idol, she would be like Momoe-san.
Although she had such longing, she did not meet her Miura Yuka.
When Kondo Masahiko was a philanderer, she hoped in her heart that one day he would change his ways. However, in the previous Grand Prize incident, his despicable character exposed, which made Nakamori Akina's feelings for him deep.
Deep suspicion.
Even if a daughter has to bear the same tragic fate as her mother and endure her husband's flirting, can a person with such a problematic character build a loving and warm family with him that heals the wounds of the past?
Akina Nakamori gradually realized that Momoe-san's perfect life was not because she did the right thing at the right time, but because she met someone who could heal her wounds and realize her dreams with her.
After the Daesang incident, Kondo Masahiko was kept in cold storage for a period of time due to the scandal. Recently, he has made a comeback with the support of Johnny's. Although the response was not good, his already declining popularity has been even more profound this time.
However, Akina Nakamori unexpectedly didn't feel as anxious for him as she did in the past. Kondo Masahiko was angry with her and had a cold war with her until now, but she didn't have such a strong desire to repair the relationship.
At this time, her sister Akiho Nakamori signed a contract with an agency to prepare for her debut. Akina Nakamori was doubtful about the policies of the agency her sister signed. However, when she mentioned it once, Akiho Nakamori hit back hard.
This sister regards Nakamori Akina's kindness as sabotaging her path to success.
Family matters have always been a headache for Nakamori Akina, and when Nakamori Akiho's incident came out, she was already exhausted mentally and physically. Thinking that Kondo Masahiko would probably ridicule Nakamori Akiho's incident, and now she was in a cold war with him, she breathed a sigh of relief.
.
However, problems must be solved.
I came to watch Yukiko's concert today. Seeing her, Nakamori Akina was deeply moved. Yukiko got into a dead end and almost lost her life, but in the end she was able to give up her idol status, walk a new path, and start a new life.
Seeing Okada Yukiko like this made Akina Nakamori feel shaken and doubtful about what she had always insisted on. Should she continue on the road she had already walked for a while, or should she take a brand new road?
Okada Yukiko was eighteen years old when she committed suicide, and she had not yet celebrated her twenty-first birthday the year she chose to retire.
Life is so long.
Nakamori Akina blinked hard, but for some unknown reason, she quietly turned her head and glanced at Shinichi Iwahashi who was sitting next to her. It was probably because this person led Yukiko out of the dead end and allowed her to see this new road.
Because of the road.
This is a person who can bring hope to others.
…
Shinichi Iwahashi was staring at Yukiko on the big screen at this time. He didn't know that Topo Star next to him was secretly looking at him. From the corners of his pursed lips, he could tell that this scene had touched him.
It is undoubtedly the best ending for an idol's career to end in a martial arts gym and return to the life of ordinary people. Not many idols can have such a satisfactory career.
However, when I think of Okada Yukiko's idol career, she almost broke out of the railing, fell into another road, and ended in another brilliant way. At this moment, seeing her saying goodbye to the audience at the Budokan with tears of happiness in her eyes is even more disturbing.
Don't have any feelings.
At the same time, she is also more sincerely happy than anyone else about the life she has now.
Looking back now, meeting Yukiko Okada and taking the initiative to say to her the nosy words "relax and move forward" is something Shinichi Iwahashi will never regret. Nothing is more important than life.
.
…
On the stage, Okada Yukiko finally calmed down. Although her eyes were red, she still showed her innocent and pure smile. Of course, no one would think that this smile did not come from the heart.
"Thank you everyone!" She bowed again, straightened up, and said, "Next, please let me continue to sing until the end with my gratitude to everyone."
"Please also continue to join me and enjoy this performance until the end. Can you?"
In response, cheers for Okada Yukiko resounded in the Budokan venue. Tonight, she is the absolute protagonist.
Okada Yukiko turned around and gestured to the long-awaited live accompaniment band, telling them they could continue. Immediately, the music started, and the next song was her famous song "-dreaggirl-".
At the age of seventeen, Okada Yukiko sang this lovely and sweet song and entered the public eye from her "land of love". Today, it is like Kaguya, who was born in a bamboo tube, will finally return to the Moon Palace.
Normally, 20-year-old Yukiko Okada sings this song with the same cuteness and sweetness as she did back then, and returns to her "land of love".
There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. Even if you feel reluctant to give up, the concert has finally come to an end.
After singing the last song, Okada Yukiko bowed deeply to the audience. On the side of the stage, her family was already waiting to greet her.
Okada Yukiko put down the microphone, waved to the audience one last time, and then ran to her family.
