Akamatsu Haruko, who had always been a little too reserved in social gatherings, now offered to carpool, which slightly surprised her classmates who asked her to come over for the social gathering.
Akamatsu Haruko, who always waited for others to discuss a plan and then voted in favor, actually took the initiative?
By being so proactive, Akamatsu must have thought that this person who worked in a construction company was good, right? For a moment, such a simple thought flashed through the minds of her classmates who were frightened by her.
The office worker at the construction company was very happy, "I welcome you here, please."
Among the girls who came to join the party tonight, Akamatsu Haruko and Kamai Sachiko were the most beautiful. Although they were also the prettiest, they were the most reserved and unsociable.
In social gatherings, although you will get attention because of your appearance when you meet for the first time, a cheerful, outgoing and pretty person will be the center of attention more than someone who is beautiful but reserved and unable to blend in.
Despite this, the sight of these two beauties was pleasing to the eye. Now, both of them were riding in his car, and one of them took the initiative. The office worker from the construction company was so proud that he seemed to be one step ahead.
Other men couldn't help but be envious. Akamatsu Haruko made her own choice and could only let him rush to the front of everyone.
Akamatsu Haruko thanked the office workers at the construction company, and said hello to Okamoto and Kamaike Sachiko who were about to ride in the same car. Both models tonight noticed this girl who was so beautiful that she could be an actress, and she was about to
We rode in the same car together and returned the courtesy politely to her.
"Then, we'll see you later, everyone!"
The office worker at the construction company was in high spirits, as if he had become a winner in life. He asked the three girls to get in the car first as a gentleman.
Tonight, among the men and women who came to join the party, the one who impressed Kamaike Sachiko the most was Akamatsu Haruko. When she came to the private room of the restaurant where the dinner was held, she was first surprised by Akamatsu Haruko's appearance.
Whether it's the delicate high bridge of the nose or the neat teeth exposed when she smiles, Kamai Sachiko feels envious.
She has always been unsure about the bridge of her nose, and she feels even more inferior about her slightly larger front teeth. She doesn't smile very much. When she sees a beautiful woman, her first reaction is to quietly pay attention to the place where she is least confident.
What does it look like on the body?
In terms of appearance, Akamatsu Haruko is indeed impeccable. Even she, who is also a woman, wants to admire the kind of beauty. However, what impresses Kamai Sachiko even more about Akamatsu Haruko is that she is just like him.
I don’t know how to get into the social atmosphere.
On such an occasion, there was a similar person present, which made Sachiko Kamaike breathe a sigh of relief and not feel so sorry.
If she is the only one who has difficulty integrating into the atmosphere, Kamaike Sachiko will feel very embarrassed, so she has to work hard to get in with the group. With Akamatsu Haruko around, she can be lazy in such situations.
In fact, she didn't originally plan to attend this party because her friend Natsuki Okamoto who brought her along told her that people from the record company would also attend tonight's party.
"First go to eat, then go to the disco, and finally go to sing karaoke, Yuki-chan, then you will show your skills in front of people from the record company, and maybe you will be chosen!" Natsuki Okamoto encouraged.
After deciding to resign from the real estate company at the end of February, she dialed the number on the business card of the Star Agency talent scout and signed her first brokerage contract. After two weeks of simple training, Kamaike Yukiko changed her mind from the real estate company to life at a glance.
The pink-collar guy who lost his job became a model under Star Agency with no future in sight.
It was obviously because he wanted to become a singer that he decided to quit his job and join the entertainment industry, but he ended up debuting as a model.
When the Xingchen Agency that signed her first started operating, Anshengliming's main business was model agency contracts. It still has abundant resources in the modeling industry. Now it focuses on the development of actors, but on the operation of singers.
The attitude appears negative.
Kamai Sachiko already knew these things when she signed the contract.
She called the talent scout on the phone and after meeting, she confided in the talent scout and told him that her dream was to become a singer. The talent scout bluntly answered her, "But, becoming a singer is very difficult."
Kamai Sachiko also knows that given her age, the conditions for her debut as a singer are not good.
However, the talent scout's analysis was even more ruthless. For a twenty-one-year-old girl, it was too late to debut as an idol. Besides, she was a bit tall, her appearance lacked that idol feeling, and she was not good at dancing.
With such conditions, if you participate in the idol draft, you will probably be rejected in the first round.
As for not being an idol, but becoming a solo singer. Nowadays, solo singers are in a slump. Even if the agency wants to get involved in the singer business, it would rather play it safe and choose someone with solid skills than an amateur with a blank sheet of paper.
After the scout analyzed it, Sachiko Kamaike was shocked. However, the scout then said, "Although you are starting out as a model, you will not always be asked to do modeling work. In other words, in today's entertainment industry, there is no longer a division of labor.
It’s as clear as it used to be. Singers can act, actors can release records, and models can appear on TV and make movies.”
Since it is possible to do any job, there is also a chance to sing.
For Sachiko Kamaike, the entertainment world is like a house with many doors, but she doesn't know which door leads to her dream.
Not only that, she also knew that if she decided not to touch anything except the singer's door, then she would probably be able to show off her singing voice in front of office workers in a karaoke bar.
As of now, this is all we can do.
However, as long as you don’t give up on your dream of singing, even if you take other paths for a while, there is still a chance to lead to the place where your dreams are.
After graduating from junior high school, she commutes between home and Tokyo for work every day. She has accumulated this unwillingness to this day. If she can't do something for her dream, Kamaike Yukiko won't be able to settle down.
Because of this idea, even if her colleagues in the real estate company regard her as the kind of woman who is dazzled by today's times, even if she starts from the job where she is least good at expressing herself in front of the camera, she will still follow her.
Xingchen Office signed the contract.
Jump out of the pink-collar life track and start as a model.
"That's the right thing to do, Kamichi-san!"
The talent scout accepted the letter of intent to sign the contract with a friendly attitude and told her, "As long as you enter this circle, there are infinite possibilities... Now is an era where everything that can be sold is sold, so your own beauty also has infinite value."
Sachiko Kamaike agreed with the first half of the scout's words, but she disagreed with his statement of "selling everything that can be sold".
Natsuki Okamoto was a girl signed by the Star Agency at the same time as her. The agency cast a wide net and signed a dozen girls with no experience in the entertainment industry in one go. It was probably like buying a bunch of them in one go.
Cheap lottery tickets.
I don’t know which one can win the real grand prize, but the good thing is that this pile of lottery tickets has at least 500 yen as an encouragement prize. As long as you sign the contract, you will go to work, and this kind of model hardly needs an agency.
Go invest.
The dozen or so girls who signed the contract all became models because of the signing bonus, the generous rewards for taking photos, and the opportunity to meet people in the entertainment industry. They did not have such a clear "dream".
Indeed, even the lowest-level model can earn more than being a pink-collar worker. Girls want to buy beautiful jewelry, buy designer bags, and wear fur coats. If they want to keep up with the pace of this fast-moving era, just
You need money to use as lubricant.
Among these girls, Sachiko Kamaike became friends with Natsuki Okamoto because the models went to a party together.
In the karaoke box, after the microphone was passed to Sachiko Kamaike, she sang "Yrevotion" by Misato Watanabe. After singing, Natsuki Okamoto took the initiative to approach her and said to her, "Tamacike-san, you are so good at singing!"
"
Not only that, she seems reserved when there are many people, but she seems to forget that nervousness when singing. This kind of Sachiko Kamaiike also makes Natsuki Okamoto find it very interesting.
The outgoing Natsuki Okamoto took the initiative to approach her, and the two gradually became the two who had the best relationship among the girls at the same time.
The twenty-one-year-old Kamai Sachiko has a side that is dedicated to her dreams, but also has a side that is an ordinary 21-year-old girl in this era.
Although her job as a model makes her shy and she has to prepare for a long time in advance before she can get into the mood. However, on payday, she gets several times the salary than when she was a pink-collar worker, and she will go shopping with Natsuki Okamoto and buy
Reward yourself with a designer bag.
Once you enter the entertainment industry, infinite possibilities may not immediately unfold in front of you, but infinite temptations truly unfold in front of these people.
In prosperous times, there were various parties every night. From time to time, they were invited or led by the office to participate in various social activities. Not only were the travel expenses reimbursed, but as long as they showed up, they would receive a red envelope of at least 20,000 yen.
In such a world, if you don't have a strong will and remember the existence of dreams at all times, you will probably get lost soon.
Kamai Sachiko was careful not to fall into such a whirlpool.
Natsuki Okamoto was very social and liked to participate in social gatherings. With her here, Sachiko Kamaike was taken to several sorority parties organized by Natsuki Okamoto’s friends.
However, due to her personality, she is naughty and outgoing in front of acquaintances. Once she is in a situation where there are strangers everywhere, she immediately freezes up like a frog being stared at by a snake, and it is always difficult to integrate into the atmosphere.
If all eyes were focused on her at a sorority she attended, the atmosphere would probably become tense. After doing this two or three times, Kamaike Yukiko politely told Natsuki Okamoto that she was not suitable to attend such an occasion.
Natsuki Okamoto also felt this way, and he really didn't invite her to the sorority party again.
However, a few days ago, he suddenly mentioned the friendship to her, "Xing-chan, would you like to go too?"
Sachiko Kamaike heard that Natsuki Okamoto said that people from the record company were participating. However, rather than Natsuki Okamoto's naive statement that "surprised the people from the record company," it was more because she was grateful to Natsuki Okamoto for remembering her dream, so
Can't refuse.
At today's social gathering, Kamai Sachiko behaved as usual and was as unsociable as the previous times. However, because there was another unsociable Akamatsu Haruko, the atmosphere was relieved.
This Akamatsu-san was probably brought here by a friend, right? Kamaike Sachiko thought to herself.
In the taxi heading to the karaoke box, Sachiko Kamaiike and Haruko Akamatsu were separated by Natsuki Okamoto.
The office worker from the construction company who was sitting in the passenger seat seemed to have spoken to Natsuki Okamoto three times in one go, while Sachiko Kamaiike and Haruko Akamatsu shared the remaining words equally.
Occasionally, as if she realized that the other person, like herself, was not very good at dealing with social interactions, Kamaike Yukiko subconsciously looked at Akamatsu Haruko, and found that Akamatsu Haruko had also turned her attention to her.
Although she was obviously afraid of life, Kamai Sachiko smiled at Akamatsu Haruko with a smile of mutual understanding.
Tonight, rather than the staff of Tokuma Records whom Natsuki Okamoto wanted to introduce to Kamaike Sachiko, who wanted to introduce him to the record company insider information and which singers and idols he had met, the one that Kamaike Sachiko was more concerned about was Akamatsu Haruko, who worked part-time at Genzo.
When Akamatsu Haruko said the name genzo, Kamai Sachiko was more concerned than others. As a loyal audience of Band Tianguo, Kamai Sachiko was very fond of this production company and the fact that it was mentioned by the program reviewers from time to time.
Iwahashi Shinichi-san’s name is familiar to everyone.
Iwahashi-san not only planned this band audition, he was also the planner of the previous Naonのyaon. He provided many underground bands with an opportunity to showcase themselves and then move into the mainstream. He was like a Bole figure to the bands.
Kamachi Sachiko knew about his deeds and respected him very much.
Because of this, when the staff of Tokuma Records tried to gossip about the mysterious Iwahashi-san, his flippant attitude made Kamai Sachiko have a big discount on his impression in her heart, and she also did not think about it.
I look forward to what Natsuki Okamoto imagines: someone from the record company will take notice of him, recommend him to his boss, and then the record company will negotiate with the agency.
The journey from the disco to the karaoke box is not very long and we arrive quickly.
The group of people who had been together tonight, after a brief "separation", gathered together in the karaoke box. The microphone was passed one by one starting from the initiator of the party.
"The next one is Puchi-san!"
"oh!!"
No matter who was going to sing next, everyone present cheered and enlivened the atmosphere. Sachiko Kamaike took the microphone.
"What are you going to sing? Puchi-san."
"Sachi-chan is the best at singing!" Natsuki Okamoto grandly introduced what her friend was best at to everyone present.
"Yeah?"
“It’s really exciting!”
"However, Natsuo-chan has raised everyone's expectations so high all of a sudden, so Kamaike-san will be very stressed, right?" A staff member from the construction company spoke for Kamaike Sachiko.
The seniors working at the record company acted like they were experts in criticizing, "How is it going?".
