"In short, I am definitely on Haruko's side, so I also said a lot of good things for you."
Takenouchi Akihito said so. In fact, he had no second choice. After all, he was the one who introduced Akamatsu Haruko to Iwahashi Shinichi.
Although, when doing this, Takenouchi Akihito thought that this sister was going to experience life, but he did not expect that she actually decided to enter this industry.
So far, in the eyes of the Akamatsu family, he is an out-and-out "accomplice". It is impossible to remove him without having to worry about it. In this case, there is only one way to join in.
"Thank you very much, then." Shinichi Iwahashi expressed his gratitude politely without revealing it.
Takenouchi Akihito kept his face and showed a satisfied expression.
How will Akamatsu Haruko convince her family in Kyoto? Iwahashi Shinichi is not worried about whether she can successfully convince her family.
Based on his understanding of Akamatsu Haruko, this girl looks delicate and frail, but her ideas are very right. Even if she really decides something, nine horses can't pull her back.
Not only that, she does not rely on crying or making trouble to achieve her goal, but will find a suitable way.
Therefore, what he was thinking about was how to arrange Akamatsu Haruko's work in the future.
…
Iwahashi Shinichi asked Mineshima to help contact the live house where zard was performing. After the band returned to Tokyo, on one side they would make scheduled recordings, and on the other side, they would complete the running-in between the band members by performing at the live house, and train Kamaike Sachiko's singing skills.
typhoon.
When a band signed to a record company performs, the producer will often follow the band to watch the band's performance and sum up the experience together after the performance.
Iwahashi Shinichi is not a full-time producer and cannot follow him all the time. Moreover, for this job, he believes that there is a more suitable candidate, Akamatsu Haruko.
Although she had no experience as a producer, firstly, she knew enough about the four members of the band, and secondly, she was the one who discovered Sachiko Kamaiike.
This is not only a matter of vision, but also a matter of Akamatsu Haruko's mentality after discovering Kamai Sachiko, despite the difficulties, she still insisted on taking her to the recording studio and introducing her to Iwahashi Shinichi.
In addition to this, there is a third point, which is also the most important point.
When she was the lead singer of the band, Akamatsu Haruko was initially ignorant about the performance and was booed by the audience. Later, she was able to perform naturally on the stage and had complete stage experience and stage performance experience.
This kind of performance experience is useful to Kamai Sachiko who is starting from scratch and knows nothing about live performances.
Because of this, he wanted to let Akamatsu Haruko follow Zard and play support beside him.
Previously, when Akamatsu Haruko joined the band, Mineshima directly parted ways with the band because of her. Later, because of her withdrawal from the band, Kawazoe Tomohisa, who was already not very satisfied with her, became even more dissatisfied.
It wasn't until Sachiko Kamaichi joined, the band reorganized, and the signing was successfully completed that this subtle discord completely disappeared.
Now Shinichi Iwahashi suggested that Haruko Akamatsu perform with her, and all the band members had no objections. It can be said that the relationship between Haruko Akamatsu and the band really became harmonious after Sachiko Kamaiike took over her position.
If you think about it this way, I don't know if this can be considered as finally finding the right position for you.
…
"By the way," Takenouchi Akihito brought the topic back to Kondo Masahiko, "Is it true that Mathy had a blind date with the eldest daughter of Johnny's?"
Gossip is human nature, and this applies to both men and women.
Ever since Shinichi Iwahashi entered the entertainment industry and met Takenouchi Akihito for a drink, he would have probably asked him about the industry gossip about the current drinks and food.
"Didn't "Friday" show them going to Kabukiza?" Shinichi Iwahashi said perfunctorily, "As for whether there was a blind date, I don't know."
...He is not Johnny's Jr. He still has the opportunity to lie outside the vice president's office and eavesdrop.
"However, Mathy suddenly bought a house and is now on a blind date. Maybe it has something to do with this?" Takenouchi Akihito talked for a long time, but he was still worried about the 80 million yen apartment. It was still a topic full of lemon flavor.
"If it's true, we won't know until the wedding date is announced later."
Shinichi Iwahashi was not interested in this gossip, and he did not want to express his opinion on Kondo Masahiko. Kondo Masahiko became Kitagawa Mari's son-in-law. He felt that it would not be surprising if this matter came true, and it was expected that it would not come true.
Regarding Kondo Masahiko, he has heard the name many times, but has never seen him once.
Even if a trivial effort was made, it was not against Kondo Masahiko, it was just to protect Nakamori Akina who came to him for discussion, and prevent her from being sacrificed in the game between the two factions and the firm's idly watching.
It was also the Daishou incident that made Shinichi Iwahashi, who initially looked down on Kondo Masahiko's character, no longer look down on him as a person.
Throughout the whole incident, the impression that Kondo Masahiko left on Iwahashi Shinichi was that this man took everything for granted, so much so that just pushing him slightly away from the track he originally envisioned was enough to send him rushing into the abyss.
.
After seeing how insignificant this person was, Shinichi Iwahashi was too lazy to express his opinion on matters related to him.
In addition, the reason why he avoids talking about Kondo Masahiko is also because he is friends with Nakamori Akina.
The more familiar he is with Nakamori Akina, the less likely he is to express his opinions about Kondo Masahiko to others, let alone what Kondo Masahiko has done or plans to do, or use his unnecessary brains.
…
"That's true."
Takenouchi Akihito smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "However, it is probably impossible to know whether this matter is true or false recently. It would be too disappointing if the planned wedding date accidentally coincides with 'that date'
.”
Iwahashi Shinichi raised his eyebrows slightly but did not answer the question.
The "days" mentioned by Takenouchi Akihito are probably well understood when talking to ordinary people in Tokyo now.
At the end of September, Tian Locust was vomiting blood and was critically ill. The whole country knew that it was expected that the government would change soon. Since announcing that Tian Locust was critically ill, the government announced that in order to pray for Tian Locust, it would suspend large-scale competitions, prohibit store openings, and temple fairs in local commercial streets.
Activities like this are also required to be suspended.
Once the locusts take over, the national mourning will last for seven to forty-nine days, and all large-scale events across the country will be affected.
It's another matter that the wedding date was already set before Tianlu was critically ill. Now, unless all relatives and friends are planning to pack up and hold a wedding abroad, they probably won't choose to set a wedding date at this juncture.
When Iwahashi Shin thought that his sister's wedding was scheduled to be held in November, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief for her. Although he, an outsider, had a pitiful lack of knowledge, he at least knew something about such current events.
Next year will be the real day...
On the other side, Takenouchi Akihito was seriously ill from the locust, and then talked about the government's request for self-restraint among the people. This year's school cultural festivals are now suspended, and the company's year-end party and the like will probably be cancelled.
Rather than praying for the locusts to get better, Takenouchi Akihito was more concerned about how this kind of self-respect would affect his feasting life.
To put it bluntly, if the "self-respect" continues like this, more and more Japanese people will probably pray that the locusts will quickly pull up their braids so that they can play freely.
…
After Akamatsu Haruko returned from her hometown in Kyoto, she made a special trip to meet with Shinichi Iwahashi first. Since major matters were involved, it was more appropriate to meet in person rather than talking on the phone.
As a result, when they met, Akamatsu Haruko first gave Iwahashi Shinichi a gift box, "It's a specialty of Kyoto... Mother said, thank you for taking care of me."
Iwahashi Shinichi took it and thanked her.
After the gifts were given, both parties sat down. Akamatsu Haruko didn't go around in circles anymore and directly said the result: "The attitude of the family now is neither support nor objection."
"Hmm." Iwahashi Shin nodded.
Akamatsu Haruko told him, "The thing that made grandpa angry the most was not that I worked in the entertainment industry, but that I appeared on TV and joined the band Heaven."
"Do you think you're in the spotlight?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked.
Akamatsu Haruko nodded seriously, "Because of this, when I told him that what I wanted to focus on was behind-the-scenes work, his attitude softened faster than expected."
The entertainment world is originally composed of a bunch of insignificant people gathered together.
Later, although "popular entertainment" became "entertainment industry", more and more people with good backgrounds joined in, but for old-school big families, it is still very embarrassing for their children to appear on TV.
thing.
In contrast, the behind-the-scenes world, where children of big families entered as early as the silent film period, is easier to accept.
Despite this, Akamatsu Haruko was a dignified young lady in her hometown. When she arrived in Tokyo and chose to enter the entertainment industry, she went against her family's initial expectations for her.
Although the family may not have high hopes for this young lady, they have always thought of a more respectable path for her than entering the entertainment industry.
"Moreover, mother also helped to speak." Akamatsu Haruko simply mentioned.
Her mother is Takenouchi Akihito's aunt, and the person who introduced Akamatsu Haruko to Iwahashi Shinichi was Takenouchi Akihito. Whether it was for her daughter or her nephew, Akamatsu Haruko's mother was pulled into the same camp.
"Now that the production company has more manpower than before, should I replace you from the representative seat?" Shinichi Iwahashi considered.
Akamatsu Haruko thought for a while, "I seem to have nothing important to do in that position."
"Indeed." Iwahashi Shinichi admitted.
Let her sit in the representative seat purely to be a mascot.
If there is anything else, it is that she and Watanabe Mayumi, two completely different types of beauties, sit together and are caught by the camera from time to time, which makes the audience feel that it is a pleasure to watch.
Probably Akamatsu Haruko's grandfather was dissatisfied because of this "deliberate inadvertence".
