"Did you come here on your own?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked politely.
Nakamori Akina nodded, "Yes." After a pause, she added, "There is still a recording tonight, so I asked my manager Sang to go to the recording studio to prepare. Now that I have finished watching the concert, I will be there soon."
"I see." Iwahashi Shinichi raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said casually: "It will be almost nine o'clock when we return to Shinbashi. It seems that we have to work all night today?"
Having said this, he smiled, remembering Akina Nakamori's haggard look when they met in the recording studio last time, and looked at her face calmly. She looked pretty good today.
Shinichi Iwahashi's appearance is very upright, which reminds Akina Nakamori of the male protagonist in the Ren Xia movie he watched when he was a child. Even when he smiles when he looks at her, his smile does not feel frivolous at all, and it does not make people feel abrupt at all.
"Yes, it's the critical stage." Nakamori Akina looked at him and smiled, and she also showed a small smile. In fact, she was not deliberately responding to Iwahashi Shinichi, but she was involuntarily infected by him, her consciousness relaxed, and she couldn't help but
Smile.
"So……"
The concert has been finished, and at this moment, Okada Yukiko is probably doing the final finishing work. After that, she will leave the Budokan directly accompanied by her family. She only needs to make a phone call later to congratulate her on starting a new life.
Now, he and Akina Nakamori were not the kind of friends who could just have a drink and reminisce about old times when they met. Besides, she had another job next. Iwahashi Shinichi made up his mind and prepared to say goodbye to her.
As a result, she was robbed by Akina Nakamori.
"Iwahashi-san." she said.
"Yes." Iwahashi Shinichi calmly took back the words of farewell he was about to say and waited for her.
Nakamori Akina asked, "You are still in charge of Mori Takasou's record production, right?"
"Yes. I will be responsible for the production of two more singles for the time being." Shinichi Iwahashi told her. After thinking about it, he added: "The last time I met you in the recording studio, the production progress of the new single was about the same.
The finishing touches are beginning.”
After the last time, Iwahashi Shinichi finished recording all Chisato Moritaka's last singles while preparing for the band Heavenly Kingdom, and sent the finished audio tracks to the mixing room in Shibuya.
Although he was running around in front of the giraffe man, the progress of other things was not delayed.
The title song "17 Years Old" has very high requirements for arrangement. A total of nine versions were produced. The next time I go to the recording studio in Xinqiao, I will check the mix and then have a meeting to choose the most suitable one. At that time, as a singer
I, Sentaka Mori, will also attend this meeting and cast her own vote.
Taking advantage of this stage, Chisato Moritaka went to complete the MV shooting of the new single, the shooting of the album cover, etc. Because Shinichi Iwahashi emphasized the importance of the MV, Chisato Moritaka has released several singles since he passed the file to him.
The mv is not small. It is a high-quality mv. He plans to use this as his signature.
"I have listened to Mori Takasou's songs before." Nakamori Akina said, "It is music that is very in tune with this era." She gave such a comment that seemed to be nondescript.
Iwahashi Shinichi was very happy, "Really? This evaluation is not low."
His goal in making Mori Taka Senri was to fit in with the times, and what Akina Nakamori said was exactly what he wanted.
"It's just my idea... Do you really think so?" Shinichi Iwahashi expressed his appreciation for this comment, which actually made Akina Nakamori feel a little embarrassed.
She had always felt that Iwahashi Shinichi was reserved and restrained, but from this point of view, sometimes he was too forthright to be Japanese.
"That's natural." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "And if you say this, it will be more convincing than others. Because you have always been very independent in music." He said half-jokingly and half-seriously,
"Now I have more confidence in her new single."
Hearing what he said, Nakamori Akina smiled and said, "You are an excellent producer."
This is not a compliment to him, but I think so from the bottom of my heart. Now, Band Heaven has become almost a phenomenon-level program, and Shinichi Iwahashi, who took the lead in planning this program, is enough to prove his ability.
And in controlling Chisato Moritaka's style, he also showed his precise vision.
The first time we met was in this martial arts gym, he said "success!" like a young boy who won a competition. From the beginning, he was a very energetic and capable person.
Although usually one should say something politely and humbly at this time, Iwahashi Shinichi said generously: "Now that you say that, I have more confidence."
As soon as Nakamori Akina heard it, she could tell that she was borrowing the words she just talked about when talking about Mori Taka Senri. It made the words sound generous and not arrogant. In addition, Iwahashi Shinichi responded so bluntly, she
I felt happy after hearing this.
Iwahashi Shinichi affirmed himself, and it seemed that he also affirmed her who said these words.
Being affirmed made Nakamori Akina feel at ease.
Just as he was surprised to see an unusually cheerful and lively Nakamori Akina, at this moment, Nakamori Akina also saw that Iwahashi Shinichi was different from that steady side.
In a sense, watching Okada Yukiko's concert together took this event as an opportunity for them to gain a new understanding of each other.
The two people who originally wanted to say goodbye, but ended up chatting again, unknowingly moved forward together while talking. At this time, the topic came to an end, and they finally realized the situation belatedly.
Their eyes exchanged, and both of them smiled.
At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly realized what Akina Nakamori meant by proactively asking about Chisato Moritaka's production progress.
"Nakamori-san." This time it was Iwahashi Shinichi who called her.
"Yes." Akina Nakamori still had a smile in her eyes, waiting for what he was about to say.
"How did you get here?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked.
Nakamori Akina raised her bag a little higher and said, "When the show was over, there must be a lot of people outside, so I drove here by myself."
This answer is expected. Since there is no agent to pick me up, it is naturally most convenient to drive directly from the parking lot used by the relationship.
At this moment, outside the martial arts hall, you don’t need to look or just think to know that there must be fans who are unwilling to leave. They may be able to see Yukiko Okada leaving in their cars, watching her last journey.
"What about you?" After answering his question, Akina Nakamori looked at him and asked.
Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "I was planning to take the train... At this time, there must be fans of Kiko in the carriage, and I could just sneak into the crowd of fans."
"Where are you going next?"
Iwahashi Shin paused for a moment before replying: "Shimbashi's recording studio."
After saying this, he laughed first. Nakamori Akina, who received such an answer, also laughed. Since the end of the performance, the two people seemed to have lowered their laughter point for nothing, and they continued to laugh.
If someone had watched all of this, they would probably find it a bit baffling.
At this time, a contact person who looked like an office worker spotted Nakamori Akina who was talking to Iwahashi Shinichi, and took the initiative to say hello to her: "Nakamori-san, hello."
"Hello." Akina Nakamori responded politely.
"I think you will also come today. You and Miss Yukiko have a good relationship, which is obvious to everyone." When the man saw Akina Nakamori, he couldn't help but say a few more words, and nodded to Shin Iwahashi.
While saying hello, he couldn't help but look at Shinichi Iwahashi, who was chatting happily with Akina Nakamori, as if he wanted to guess who he was.
However, those who can enter and leave through the relationship channel are almost all industry insiders or industry insiders. They have this awareness, so basic politeness and politeness are not lacking.
"Yes." Facing the stranger who suddenly came up to her, Akina Nakamori's reaction could not be said to be pretentious.
Fortunately, the conversation didn't last long. After a few pleasantries, he said goodbye and left.
The conversation was interrupted by the sudden appearance of this person. After he left, the air fell into silence for a while. However, being interrupted by this person made what he wanted to say just now become more natural.
Akina Nakamori spoke first, "If you don't mind, can you go to the recording studio in Shimbashi with me?" After saying this, as if to ease the atmosphere, he added, "Anyway, I
You can also be considered a fan of Yukiko."
Hearing what she said, Iwahashi Shinichi almost stopped.
Is Taopusida so naughty?
I was thinking this in my heart, but said: "If that's the case, then I'll leave it to you." While thinking about when traveling with Watanabe Manyumi, she would be her driver from time to time, and now, Lian Taopusida's
The car is about to be hit...
…
However, it still smells pretty good.
Of course, it's not the rice that smells good, it's the faint aroma of Taopu Star's car. It's not that she used any car fragrance, but it's more like the smell of her perfume that was left behind during the use of her car.
Smell is a very personal thing. As he walked from the Budokan's related passage to the parking lot, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't feel that close to Nakamori Akina until he got into her car and smelled it.
Only with this aroma can I have a clearer feeling.
"This car is very elegant." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Nakamori Akina said "thank you" and added: "When I won the grand prize before, Mazda gave it as a prize. I like it very much. Besides, it's very meaningful."
"If it's a prize like this, it doesn't hurt to come a few more times." Shinichi Iwahashi joked.
Akina Nakamori started the engine, "It's incredible to be able to v3." She smiled and said, "When "desire" won the award before, I already thought it was very dreamy and it has arrived. I didn't expect..."
At this point, her tone paused and she didn't say anything further. As if she wanted to focus on driving, she drove the car out of the parking space while checking the mirror.
Winning the Grand Prize three times in a row has made her an unprecedented star in the industry, and she is destined to remain in the history of Japanese music. However, this grand prize that pushed her to the top also made it impossible for Kondo Masahiko to stand up, at least until the anger of the industry subsided.
.
This time the situation was special. As the apparent beneficiary, he was pushed out by Johnny to endure everything. Even Kitagawa Mari, who doted on him, or Kuroyanagi Tetsuko, who regarded him as a son, could not help him openly.
What does he.
Shinichi Iwahashi guessed what she was thinking, but he didn't point it out and didn't answer the question. Similarly, he didn't know what her current relationship with Kondo Masahiko was like, and he didn't have the gossip taste to ask.
In the end, Nakamori Akina herself mentioned the matter again, "I felt very happy. The moment I won the third grand prize, even looking back now, I still feel very happy. Iwahashi-san, I have no regrets.
"
"Yeah?"
Although Akina Nakamori was driving, she nodded subconsciously. She said everything that Shinichi Iwahashi never asked, "Although something happened later, Kondo-san..."
In front of outsiders, when mentioning Kondo Masahiko, she politely called him "Kondo-san".
"I feel so sorry again."
At that time, Iwahashi Shinichi said he believed in Kondo Masahiko's character, but Kondo Masahiko betrayed his trust. Nakamori Akina mentioned Kondo Masahiko and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.
"Sorry?"
Akina Nakamori was driving while looking ahead. Even so, she could feel the eyes of Shinichi Iwahashi looking at her after hearing her words.
The car drove smoothly onto the road, but she changed the subject a little stiffly, "At that time, you were willing to listen to me talk about those troubles and gave me such valuable suggestions. Thank you very much."
"It's not so much what I did, but you gave me the opportunity to say those words." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "This is the result of your own initiative."
Compared with a life of waiting or giving in, a life of active struggle is more interesting.
This is what Shinichi Iwahashi said to her.
Now that he mentioned this sentence again, Nakamori Akina couldn't help but think about the reason why she always feels very happy when she thinks back to Daishou v3. In addition to the joy of victory or other things, is it also because it is the initiative?
What about the life you strive for?
Realizing this again, she felt warm in her heart.
The car was driving smoothly on the road. Akina Nakamori thought of something and asked: "Is Iwahashi-san an only child?"
"Huh?" Iwahashi Shinichi reacted and replied, "That's not true. I have a sister who is ten years older than me."
"Yeah?"
"But how come there is the impression that I am an only child?" he asked.
Nakamori Akina thought for a moment, "How could it be?" She didn't know whether she was asking herself or asking him in return. However, this question did not get an answer from Iwahashi Shinichi, nor did she answer it herself.
"Is Iwahashi-san's sister also in Tokyo?" She jumped around the topic a little childishly.
Iwahashi Shin felt her thoughts jumping back and forth again and again. It was the first time since they met that he was led by her. He found it very interesting and patiently replied: "Yes. However, although
I’m in Tokyo, but I don’t keep in touch very often.”
This is already a beautified relationship, not just infrequent contact.
"My sister is a top student in the Law Department of Tokyo University."
It was also the first time that Iwahashi Shinichi told others about his sister, "I am two completely different people."
