Karuizawa is not only a resort, but also countless program crews come here to record programs every year, and countless film crews come here to shoot scenes.
The shooting team in broad daylight can be encountered from time to time in popular neighborhoods in Tokyo.
But it still feels like that, the same thing happens in Tokyo and in Karuizawa, but there seems to be something different somewhere.
If you really want to talk about it, it's probably because Tokyo tolerates everything, but Karuizawa has its own rhythm.
The shooting team in the streets and alleys of Tokyo is a part of Tokyo. In contrast, the shooting team in Karuizawa are undoubtedly outsiders.
Although this is a quiet town on weekdays, the other side of it is a resort where outsiders are constantly coming and going.
However, outsiders also gather together. The outsiders who go to Tokyo do so in order to stay and make themselves part of Tokyo. As for the outsiders attracted to Karuizawa, if they want to appreciate the charm of Karuizawa for a long time, the most important thing is
The most important thing is not to let yourself become a part of Karuizawa.
Outsiders will not become part of the town, and the town will have to get used to outsiders.
In Karuizawa like this, the locals have become accustomed to filming teams appearing on the streets. Arriving at the old street of Karuizawa, before Iwahashi Shinichi could walk in, two or three aunties who looked like locals passed him from behind.
As they passed each other, Iwahashi Shinichi vaguely heard them talking about the TV show they were filming in front of them.
"If you don't want to be photographed, you have to be careful to avoid it."
"I don't care... Is it still the same program team as yesterday?"
The local aunt talked about the shooting topic nonchalantly, as if she didn't care about it. Iwahashi Shinichi listened, but his heart moved. He quietly took the lottery ticket in his hand and wanted to check every number.
Whenever the program crew goes out on location, the battles look big. There is no need to wait to get closer, you can see the impressive filming team from a distance.
The staff surrounded the protagonists of the show, and there were passers-by nearby who stopped for the protagonists, and then the staff were also surrounded.
Since there are people who are indifferent, there are also people who like to join in the fun. If the people who come to shoot are popular celebrities, they can still attract the attention of some people.
Shinichi Iwahashi walked closer and cast his gaze towards the center surrounded by layers of people.
In the center, surrounded by layers of layers, Akina Nakamori and several other people were chatting nonchalantly under the camera. She was so tiny in person, so surrounded in the middle, it looked like she was wrapped up.
Seeing Akina Nakamori like this, Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but smile.
After scratching the invisible lottery ticket in my hand, I really won the prize.
He stood far away, and in front of him were several aunties who were attracted by the filming team and were watching the fun. Iwahashi Shin was taller, so he could see clearly what was going on inside without moving his position.
After seeing it clearly, there was another thing that surprised him a little.
The guest on the program with Akina Nakamori is Saito Yuki, who once met at a family gathering at the fat young man's house.
The idol circle is said to be big, but in a program like this, two very different popular idols will never be arranged to appear in front of the camera at the same time. Saito Yuki debuted two years later than Nakamori Akina, but now he is very popular.
Even so, from the interaction between the three of them, one can guess that Akina Nakamori and Yuki Saito are not familiar with each other at all.
Having only met her once, Shinichi Iwahashi had no impression of Yuki Saito. The only thing he remembered was her religious-like neuroticism that did not smoke or drink, and did not even touch coffee or tea.
Then, he thought in his mind that if meeting Akina Nakamori here was inevitable by chance, then meeting Yuki Saito would be a real chance.
Iwahashi Shinichi's eyes left Saito Yuki and fell on Nakamori Akina.
Nakamori Akina sometimes turned her face sideways to this side, and when talking to the host, the back of her head turned to this side.
Iwahashi Shinichi had never seen her on location in a variety show, and he had never seen her recording without a care in front of everyone, surrounded by filming equipment, and found it fresh and interesting.
The Akina Nakamori shown in the variety show is not like when she was participating in the music group, wearing eye-catching singing clothes, and her edge on stage is revealed at some point.
Looking like this, she looked lively, cute and defenseless. From time to time, she went to talk to the host and fellow traveler Yuki Saito. At this time, her head was shaking like a rattle.
Compared with her lively and talkative nature, Yuki Saito appears to be much more reserved.
…
Compared to recording in a studio, it is obviously more interesting to go out and shoot on location. Although there are also scripts, the scripts for location programs are obviously much freer in terms of lines.
The program lasted until the second day, and Nakamori Akina was enjoying it. In front of a shop selling Japanese sweets, they ordered the shop's signboard and waited to try it out.
Akina Nakamori's fondness for Japanese confectionery is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the host did not miss this topic in front of the camera. She did not hesitate to talk about her areas of interest.
At one moment he looked at the busy hands of the clerk, and at another he turned his head to talk to the host.
During the filming yesterday, her partner was the idol Hayami Yu who is also a member of the "82 Group". Nakamori Akina and Hayami Yu are not close friends, but they debuted at the same time and often do activities together, so they are very familiar with each other.
, getting along with each other is natural.
Unlike today's partner Yuki Saito, we have no impression of each other. Not only that, but now that we are working together, there is still some incompatibility.
It's not that they don't like each other, but they don't have any special feelings for each other. When they work together, they can maintain polite communication, but there is no sign that the relationship will become closer.
"As expected of Akina-chan, a Japanese confectionery expert~" the host praised in a slightly exaggerated tone. At this time, the clerk packed the confectionery and handed it over.
“Looks delicious.”
Akina Nakamori took the snack and smiled from the bottom of her heart. She smiled so happily not only because she was greedy, but also because the show had been recorded for two or three hours and she was a little hungry.
In a show about eating and drinking, it looks like you have to eat a lot of food, but you usually only taste a little bit and it is immediately handed over to the staff outside the camera.
In front of the camera, eating is secondary and performance is primary. Tasting is secondary and expressing your feelings in front of the camera is primary.
This store is indeed an old store, and the taste of its food is well-deserved.
After Nakamori Akina tasted a little, she immediately felt the happiness of being cared for by delicious food. Food not only soothes the stomach, but also soothes the heart.
She was satisfied and narrowed her eyes.
…
This girl looks so delicious when she eats.
Iwahashi Shinichi took in Nakamori Akina's appearance and couldn't help but think that this eating appearance should be used to advertise food. Sogou Library
Worried about being discovered by her, Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately stood far away to avoid something like making a mistake in managing her expression, which would lead to NG. If that happened, it would be a big disaster.
Akina Nakamori didn't have the habit of looking around when filming, and she never thought that Shinichi Iwahashi would be watching him nearby, maintaining the pace of the show, interacting with the host, chatting politely with Saito Yuki, and continuing to shoot.
She concentrates on her work without thinking about the outside world, as if a wall built by staff and photography equipment has become a barrier that separates the two worlds.
On the contrary, Yuki Saito, who was traveling with him, noticed Shinichi Iwahashi standing there in the distance.
Yuki Saito doesn't really like recording variety shows. Although his expression and body match well, he is careless in his heart. From time to time, he scans the streets outside the camera to pass the time.
As a result, I saw a person I had met standing in the distance.
At this time on weekdays, the young people who appear in the old streets stand out. What's more, Shinichi Iwahashi has an impressive appearance, and he is not the kind of person who will be forgotten after just one glance.
I met Takai Masiko and Akimoto Yasushi at the family gathering. It seems that their last name is Iwahashi or something? Saito Yuki looked at him and didn't take it to heart.
People you meet once and meet by chance are no different from strangers.
He stood far away, more like a passerby than a bystander. However, after recognizing him as someone he had met at Akimoto Yasu's house, Saito Yuki felt that he did not pass by by chance.
After thinking for a moment, she was about to retract her gaze and put the matter aside. At this moment, she saw Akina Nakamori's manager Omoto walking towards Shinichi Iwahashi outside the camera.
…
"Iwahashi-san?"
Omoto thought he had seen it wrong, so he tentatively walked over and found out that it was really Iwahashi Shinichi.
Suddenly being accosted, Shinichi Iwahashi greeted him as if nothing had happened, "Omoto-san, long time no see."
"Indeed, long time no see." After confirming that it was him, Omoto's attitude became cordial. Curious about his appearance here, he asked: "Iwahashi-san came to Karuizawa for work or for vacation?"
"Half and half."
The two of them stood aside, and Iwahashi Shinichi and Omoto explained, "I originally came to Karuizawa for official business, but I thought I hadn't done any sightseeing in Karuizawa yet, so I took the opportunity to take a look around before returning to Tokyo.
"
As he spoke, he showed him the sightseeing map in his hand.
"When I walked over here, I saw a program crew filming... I didn't expect it to be Nakamori-san." Shinichi Iwahashi smiled.
Ben also smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
If you meet by chance in a place like Karuizawa, people who hate each other will hate each other even more, but if you get along with them calmly, you will feel that you are destined.
Omoto had a good impression of Iwahashi Shinichi, and felt that it was fate to meet him here. After observing Iwahashi Shinichi's expression, he made sure that he didn't show any intention of leaving quickly, and started chatting with him.
Normally, when we meet by chance in Tokyo, we may not talk so much, but now, I am willing to chat with him on the roadside.
Of course, the reason why I'm interested in chatting is because the filming over there is about to wrap up, and the next filming is in the evening. I don't need to stare at that side for the time being, so I can catch up and chat.
In addition, Omoto also knows that the junior boss of his own firm has a good relationship with Shinichi Iwahashi, and the boss also has a high regard for Shinichi Iwahashi. Because of this, he will not look down on him. He has long thought that if there is a chance
I can get to know him well.
Moreover, not only the young boss of the office has a good relationship with Iwahashi-san, but also Nakamori Akina, who is in charge of him, has some friendship with him.
Omoto saw Shinichi Iwahashi chatting and interacting with Akina Nakamori more than once. Even when I met him in Karuizawa today, Omoto thought it was a coincidence at first, but as we chatted, he didn't believe it was a coincidence.
If I had never seen Shinichi Iwahashi interact with Akina Nakamori, Omoto might have concluded that it was a coincidence. Or if Shinichi Iwahashi hadn't stopped to watch, Omoto would have also believed that it was a coincidence.
However, when these two things were taken together, Omoto began to suspect that Shinichi Iwahashi came here on purpose.
While the two were chatting, Shinichi Iwahashi did not reveal that he had something to say and instead spoke to Oben unhurriedly, which gave Oben more reason to be suspicious.
…
It was said that they met by chance, and Iwahashi Shinichi didn't have much time in the afternoon. Since he was discovered, he quickly said goodbye to Omoto and continued to be his tourist.
However, after the topic of chatting came up, Iwahashi Shinichi himself did not have the urge to end it and leave, so he just started chatting with Omoto.
The reason why he was not impatient was because he just heard from Da Ben that the filming would be over soon. After knowing this, an idea came to his mind.
That is, after I won the lottery ticket, I wanted to show this lottery ticket to Nakamori Akina.
The two people here chatted about gossip, exchanged work, and things in the industry that they could tell others.
Speaking of the establishment of a record company, Omoto showed a surprised expression as expected. At the same time, Shinichi Iwahashi also remembered that he should give Oben his new business card and quickly took out his business card holder from the inside of his coat.
Coming directly to Karuizawa this morning, it was rare for Shinichi Iwahashi not to wear formal clothes.
…
"ok!"
On the other side, the program director finally gave the end signal off-camera. The three people surrounded by the middle relaxed and greeted the staff, the snack shop employees, and each other.
After the photography was over, Akina Nakamori and Yuki Saito, two people who were a bit incompatible but could still maintain a polite appearance, distanced themselves a bit after exchanging pleasantries.
Yuki Saito's agent came to her with water, and Akina Nakamori also found her agent.
The camera is turned off, the barrier disappears, and she can walk out of the small circle she was surrounded by just now.
Even though it's shopping, eating, drinking and having fun, having to stay in good condition in front of the camera for two or three hours is actually more tiring than a concert.
This street is not big. Nakamori Akina looked around and soon saw Omoto.
Omoto was walking towards her, and it seemed that he had noticed that the filming had ended. However, compared to Omoto, Nakamori Akina's eyes fell on the person behind Oben.
This is Shinichi Iwahashi.
For a moment, Nakamori Akina's reaction was: Why is Iwahashi-san here?
But after the brief accident, she remembered a sentence: Chance is inevitable.
Akina Nakamori felt a sense of reunion in her heart.
