Akina Nakamori put the origami giraffe she exchanged into her handbag. Shinji Iwahashi couldn't help but smile when he saw how she carefully accepted the not-so-pretty giraffe.
"Everything is taught in the origami books," he said.
Akina Nakamori happily replied, "I'll teach you everything. I think you can probably build a zoo with origami... By the way, I'll even teach you how to fold the Gundam robot."
"It's really amazing." Handicraft experts really can't underestimate it.
Do not underestimate this Taopusita who speaks with great enthusiasm when talking about origami.
"I didn't know origami was so interesting before..." It was Shinichi Iwahashi's origami kitten that made Akina Nakamori become interested in origami.
Iwahashi Shinichi's hands are very dexterous, and folding origami giraffes is no problem for him. While Akina Nakamori thought this was expected, she thought about the situation she had imagined stumping him.
Next time I’ll learn a more complicated origami...
This unsuccessful imagination injected new impetus into Akina Nakamori's journey of learning origami.
It was almost time and the two were ready to go back.
Akina Nakamori put on her coat, but she felt it was a bit awkward to be fully armed when going out with Shinichi Iwahashi, so she didn't put on her sunglasses.
At night, the temperature dropped even lower. When he came out of the store with the heating on, the cold wind hit him. Iwahashi Shinichi was unprepared and sneezed.
"Sorry." He sniffed and said to Akina Nakamori.
Akina Nakamori, who was caught by a cold as soon as November entered, was particularly concerned about sneezing, "Is it okay?"
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't take it to heart, "It doesn't matter."
Akina Nakamori was a little worried, "My cold won't be passed on to Shinichi-kun, right?"
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled at her, "At least the sneeze just now has nothing to do with Akina-san."
That's right. Nakamori Akina thought about it and felt that she was thinking too much, which was a bit funny, and she finally felt relieved.
The two of them drove here by themselves, walked out of the door and walked together for a short while on the way to the parking lot. The streets at night seemed deserted, especially on moonless nights in winter, which had a particularly quiet atmosphere.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori were walking in tandem. In order to facilitate conversation, one of them slowed down unknowingly, and the other followed.
However, although they did not walk in tandem, there was a long distance in between.
"This year, the band was selected for the Red and White Song Festival." Shinichi Iwahashi told her, treating it as casual chat.
"Really?" Akina Nakamori congratulated him.
Shinichi Iwahashi asked, "Akina-san will also appear this year, right?"
"Yes." Akina Nakamori responded. Since it is Taopusda, she will naturally not miss the biggest music show of the year.
Speaking of the Kohaku Utakara, Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly remembered that the last time he appeared backstage at the Kohaku Utakara, he was in the capacity of Mori Shinichi's manager.
However, when he thought of this incident, instead of lamenting the difference between the present and the past, the first thing he thought of was how messy the backstage was on the day of the Red and White Song Concert. How hard must it have been for him, a giraffe man wearing a hood, to work hard?
"In addition to the Kohaku Song Festival, Akina-san will also participate in this year's Grand Prize, right?" Iwahashi Shinichi said to her, "then she will have to run in both directions again."
Tian Locust is critically ill, and various programs in the entertainment industry have been affected. However, the two major programs at the end of the year, NHK's Red and White Song Festival and TBS TV's Record Awards, are still held as usual.
On the other hand, the All-Japan Music Festival hosted by TV Asahi was affected by the self-imposed ban and announced that it would be suspended for one year.
The self-imposed order probably depends a little on ratings and influence.
DreamseTrue was shortlisted for the Newcomer Award at the Record Awards this year, but due to the fact that Tian Locust was critically ill, "I'm so happy! So happy! I love it so much!", I was unable to perform on stage.
As a result, the band was too lazy to go to the venue to accept the award. They coordinated with the awards and let representatives from the record company go directly to receive the award on their behalf.
Anyway, it’s not the most important Daesang, it’s just a newcomer award. The band didn’t show up, so the Daesang didn’t take it seriously and let them decide it.
According to the rules of the Record Awards, several newcomers are selected at the same time to be awarded the Newcomer Award every year, and then one of them is selected to be awarded the "Best Newcomer Award".
Being selected for the Best Newcomer Award is a must, but the Newcomer Award doesn't matter. Even the Best Newcomer Award is not a very powerful award.
The criteria for awarding this Best Newcomer Award are vague. Sometimes it is awarded to the newcomer with the best momentum that year, and sometimes it is awarded to the newcomer who is not very good in all aspects.
Therefore, some people can do all kinds of tricks in order to win the big award, but certainly no one will do anything to get the best newcomer award.
However, when it comes to the Record Awards, Akina Nakamori told Shinichi Iwahashi, "Speaking of the Grand Awards, because I have won the Grand Awards for three consecutive years, it is said that I will enter the hall this year, so I will automatically withdraw from this year's Grand Awards."
"Enter the hall?" It sounded really majestic.
Akina Nakamori smiled a little embarrassedly, "It seems that there has never been a precedent of winning three times in a row, so this year's Grand Prize has arranged a special session, and I have to open it."
Needless to say, just think about it, according to the TV station's routine, before the performance, there must be a replay of the three consecutive championships with great fanfare, and then brag about this unprecedented feat. Of course, it is indeed worth bragging about.
Iwahashi Shinichi secretly thought that he specially arranged an "entering the hall" link for Nakamori Akina. The Grand Prize also had ulterior motives.
After "Shōkan Bunshun" exposed the scandal of Johnny bribing members of the awards association, this year's Record Awards, even if they want to make the "fairness of the awards" still tenable, they will definitely do it for Akina Nakamori.
The three consecutive champions prepared an extraordinary treatment.
The more honor given to Akina Nakamori, the more it proves the authority of the Grand Prize.
In addition, she became the first grand figure in the history of the Daesang Awards because of her three-consecutive victory. Both the public and her fans are more aware of the importance of the Daesang Awards to her.
The more you affirm Nakamori Akina's choices and achievements, the more you will regard her as a superstar who can be followed and represents this era.
In a sense, the three consecutive championships have made Akina Nakamori an unprecedented star in all aspects.
…
"Akina-san has done something unprecedented." Iwahashi Shinichi was happy for her.
Nakamori Akina was very happy to be praised by him. However, she said sincerely, "Thanks to Shinichi-kun."...Yes, it was because of Iwahashi Shinichi that she had the courage to make a choice.
If she hadn't met him, if she hadn't mustered up the courage to wait for him in the recording studio, maybe she would have made a completely different choice than she did now.
After witnessing Kondo Masahiko's despicable personality during the Grand Prize incident, and his later insincerity when proposing to buy a house, Nakamori Akina thought about the incident before the Grand Prize when Kondo Masahiko and Kosugi Riuzo encouraged her to withdraw, and she felt a little strange
Afraid.
If Shinichi Iwahashi hadn't reached out to her at that time...
Akina Nakamori is not that naive person, although she does not have the ability to make deep calculations. Even so, she just thought about the consequences if she chose to quit and the Grand Prize was awarded to Kondo Masahiko.
I couldn't help but feel lucky.
After winning three consecutive championships and enjoying the sense of accomplishment of taking the initiative to strive for the life she wanted, Nakamori Akina's mentality changed without her realizing it.
It was because of this change that when she reflected on the incident later, she had the ability to see clearly those things that made her afraid and grateful.
As for Kondo Masahiko, when Nakamori Akina thinks about it now, she doesn't feel nostalgic, but she doesn't feel disgusted either. Rather, thinking of him now is like thinking of an insignificant person.
"Shinichi-kun once told me that compared to a life of waiting and giving in, a life of active struggle is more interesting." Nakamori Akina suddenly remembered this sentence.
However, as the words came out of my mouth, for some reason, I thought of the meeting I had agreed with him.
Although it was said that the person to meet next time was Iwahashi Shinichi, she was the one who decided to meet today. Was this something she fought for?
Nakamori Akina thought of this and quietly went to see Iwahashi Shinichi.
Shinichi Iwahashi looked ahead intently, and when he heard Akina Nakamori talking about what he said, he couldn't help but smile, "Do you remember Akina-san?"
Akina Nakamori didn't answer, she looked back and looked ahead.
So, the last short stretch to the parking lot was completed in silence.
The two said goodbye.
Iwahashi Shinichi said to her, "See you next time, Akina-san."
"see you later……"
Nakamori Akina followed his words, but suddenly changed her mind, "Next time, I'll ask you to meet like today, okay?"
Iwahashi Shinichi reacted and nodded, "Okay." He smiled at her, "I'm very happy today. Moreover, the tea is delicious and the cake is delicious."
Nakamori Akina also smiled at him and said, "I will introduce a new store to you next time."
However, you should choose it when you don’t have a cold and when you don’t need to diet. Dessert expert and Bon Appetit Master Akina Nakamori silently added this sentence in her heart.
…
After Shinichi Iwahashi returned home, he put Akina Nakamori's origami giraffe in the drawer of his desk.
There is already an ugly kitten with no energy in the drawer, and the origami giraffe that Akina Nakamori sent in the letter.
He put the new origami giraffes in, and the two neat and beautiful giraffes formed a group, making the ugly kitten look particularly wrinkled.
After Origami Kitten, Akina Nakamori is now obviously better at origami skills. Shinichi Iwahashi taught her once, and from now on she will probably only be a student.
Buying an origami reference book would allow him to review it in advance. However, he subtly doesn't want to learn origami. To be precise, he doesn't want to learn from an origami book by himself.
Rather than being a good student who studies on his own, he decided to learn how to fold paper from Akina Nakamori, an impatient teacher who was not very good at teaching.
If this continues, more origami may be put into this drawer and turned into an "origami zoo". By then, this lethargic ugly kitten will become the most special one in the zoo.
At this time, I felt my nose was a little itchy, and Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but sneeze heavily.
…
Anyway, he has a good physique. He runs at full speed all year round and never loses his footing.
Iwahashi Shinichi wiped his nose, and the big flag he had set flashed through his mind again.
Don't say too much, this is the true truth left by our ancestors. Just as the busiest time is approaching at the end of the year, the chain that has not been broken all year round decisively chooses to drop it here.
The day after meeting Akina Nakamori, Iwahashi Shinichi opened his eyes in the morning and felt a series of early symptoms of a cold.
The band's new album production has not yet been completed, and Narita Hiroyuki and Asako are about to return from their honeymoon trip, and they have to discuss advertising matters with their brother-in-law. Coupled with all kinds of chaos, catching a cold at the end of the year with a full schedule is definitely not a good thing.
Iwahashi Shinichi hurriedly took cold medicine in an attempt to nip the cold in its bud. However, as long as a cold has sprouted, it must wait until it blooms and bears fruit.
In the end, he could only wear a mask, cancel trips that were inconvenient to meet while he had a cold, and then endure the cold symptoms and do whatever he needed to do.
I never catch a cold all year round, but a sudden cold would be shocking.
Suffering from a severe cold, Shinichi Iwahashi could hardly speak, let alone record harmonies.
Fortunately, we have already decided to postpone the album release until the last week of December, so there is no rush now. Nakamura-san and Miwa-chan will record theirs first, and then they will record their own portion separately after Shinichi Iwahashi recovers from his cold.
During this period, Shinichi Iwahashi tried not to even go to the recording studio in Shinano Town, mainly because he was afraid of passing the cold to Miwa-chan. If the lead singer also fell down with the cold, then he would be guilty of a big crime.
Miwa-chan and I tried our best not to meet each other in person. After Hiroyuki Narita and Asako returned from their honeymoon, the dinner party they had planned was temporarily canceled and they communicated on the phone instead.
Hiroyuki Narita felt a little pity, "I wanted to meet you and Watanabe-san for a long time in advance." He said regretfully, and immediately changed the subject, telling Shinichi Iwahashi to take care of his health, and said that he and Asako bought him something in Hawaii.
Gift.
"Asako said he would send it to you," Hiroyuki Narita said.
Shinichi Iwahashi promised to keep an eye on his inbox.
The two parties chatted on the phone about the advertising plan for the next year. Hiroyuki Narita told his brother-in-law that he was shocked by this gesture, "The investment is large enough."
However, I am quite interested in his method of publicity.
After chatting on the phone for a while, Hiroyuki Narita roughly listened to the entire plan. He still had to digest it, so the two agreed on the time for the next phone call.
After hanging up the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi turned around and said to Watanabe Wan Yumi: "It's a lie that Narita brother-in-law wants to meet and chat with me, but it's true that he wants to meet Wan Yumi-san."
What he said was somewhat of a joke.
Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help laughing when she heard what he said. It wasn't because what Shinichi Iwahashi said was funny, but because
