The people of Osaka were indifferent to the national mourning, and they did whatever they had to do and kept to their original pace.
When people in Tokyo woke up early in the morning and learned the news, their first reaction was to rush out of their homes.
At the beginning of the national mourning period, all entertainment venues had to be shut down. As the center of the country, Tokyo must be the most affected place. Therefore, the people in Tokyo seized the few hours before the official start of the national mourning period and took advantage of the situation.
Feeling at a loss, I rushed out of the house and headed to various entertainment venues in and around the city.
Especially for students who are about to start school next Monday, for them, whether the locust is dead or alive, whether the symbol changes or not, is not as important as seizing the last two days of vacation before the start of school and having fun.
Therefore, they either rush to the shopping street or ask their parents to take them to an amusement park.
For a time, Tokyo was even more lively than usual.
NHK and the five major TV stations all cut off scheduled programs and instead broadcast news about locusts throughout the day. The TV stations dispatched reporters and helicopters to take pictures of the huge crowds of people on the streets.
There was a comical and absurd contrast between the reporter's live broadcast and the solemn voice of the program host, and the footage captured by the camera of crowds of people rushing to entertainment venues and shopping streets.
…
It was nearly noon, and several men and women occupied one of the private rooms at a Western restaurant in Tokyo that is often frequented by celebrities and entertainers.
Akina Nakamori, Kyoko Koizumi, Toshihiko Tahara, and former Shibuki team member Masahiro Motoki.
If four big stars like this appeared at the same time, if fans saw it, their first reaction would be to shout "luxury" in their hearts.
The national mourning came suddenly, and today's scheduled live broadcast was cancelled, because the three active idols gathered together on the show rarely took a day off on this Saturday.
Kyoko Koizumi suggested, and Akina Nakamori and Toshihiko Tahara responded, and the three of them planned to have tea together.
When leaving the TV station, I happened to meet Masahiro Motoki who was coming here.
In August last year, Masahiro Motoki's idol group Shibu Persimmons announced their disbandment. After that, the members went solo. Masahiro Motoki quit Johnny's and switched careers, working hard to become an actor.
The Shibu Persimmon Team officially debuted in 1982, the same year as Nakamori Akina and Koizumi Kyoko. They often worked together as the "82 Group" and were quite familiar with each other. Motoki Masahiro also had a special skill of imitating Nakamori Akina's singing, and he sang in many
In public, show off this stunt in front of the deity.
In other words, if the relationship is good, if the relationship is not good, they would have been beaten to death long ago.
When we were both idols, we met on the same show every now and then. Now that Shibu Persimmon Team has been disbanded and Masahiro Motoki has transformed, it is not easy to meet again.
Occasionally we meet at work, and we don’t have any plans for the following, so we just drink tea and have a meal together.
The three men and women in Group 82 have always had a good relationship. Although Toshihiko Tahara debuted two years ago, he often performs shows together. Not only that, he is Masahiro Motoki's senior in Johnny's.
Don't say that Masahiro Motoki didn't have a bad relationship with Johnny. Even if they didn't break up peacefully, left the agency, and met his seniors, the old friendship would still exist.
Moreover, although they have never said it, these two people, Tahara Toshihiko and Kondo Masahiko, debuted in the same year. They are rivals but not very good. Motoki Masahiro is disgusted with Kitagawa Mari's favoritism towards Kondo Masahiko. Compared with that, it is inconspicuous.
As a senior, he obviously respects Toshihiko Tahara who has first-class professional skills even more.
The only way to make the relationship between two people better is to unite to hate the third person.
Koizumi Kyoko is a famous individualist, Motoki Masahiro is quite funny, Tahara Toshihiko is even more versatile, and Nakamori Akina can talk endlessly when she is with her friends. When four people like this get together, it will be so lively.
lively.
Due to the temporary suspension of work due to the national mourning, it was inevitable that several people would mention this matter.
However, when it comes to this matter, what we really want to talk about is not the national mourning itself, but because of the national mourning, there may be less work in the future, and we have to be careful not to be photographed going out for night outing or the like.
As a public figure, you have to pay extra attention during special times.
In addition, I also want to make fun of my own managers. While these celebrities and artists are enjoying a rare vacation, the staff in charge of them have to coordinate with all parties to deal with this unexpected situation and are extremely busy.
Managers are not the followers of artists. They control the working conditions of artists and can even play a decisive role in the direction of their artistic careers. Therefore, there is a high probability that there will be disagreements and disputes between the two parties.
When you are an artist, no matter what your relationship with your manager is, you will always laugh and complain in a schadenfreude style without any burden.
However, when we talked about how busy the staff were now, Nakamori Akina was reminded of Shinichi Iwahashi.
Shinichi-kun went to Osaka specifically to promote a newly-debuted band. I don’t know if the promotion plan has been affected. His other work must also be temporarily adjusted and changed, right?
Nakamori Akina thought that he was probably several times busier than Omoto-san today, and she suddenly became worried. Although she was in Tokyo and didn't know what kind of work he had, it didn't stop her from worrying about him here at all.
"Akina-chan's expression is so heavy~" At this moment, Kyoko Koizumi suddenly teased her.
Nakamori Akina reacted and raised her head. The other three people all looked embarrassed when they saw her.
"What were you thinking about just now? You looked very worried."
Nakamori Akina shook her head, "I was just distracted."
"Well... when Akina-chan is distracted, she will occasionally see scary expressions." In order to liven up the atmosphere and help her out, Akina Munamori imitated actor Motoki Masahiro, a level 10 talent, and showed off his stunts again after a long absence.
While imitating her heavy expression just now, she explained: "That's it."
"Hahaha!"
Koizumi Kyoko and Tahara Toshihiko were watching the excitement and it was not a big deal.
"It seems, it's really similar!" Kyoko Koizumi said while laughing.
Masahiro Motoki has always been good at capturing people's expressions and is quite talented as an actor. Now he has really transformed into an actor to hone his acting skills. Today's "Akina Nakamori Imitation Show" is even better.
Akina Nakamori showed a funny expression of trying hard to endure but seemingly unable to bear it.
Tahara Toshihiko took the opportunity to joke half-jokingly, "Motoki-kun knows Akina-chan's demeanor so well, you definitely like Akina-chan, right?"
He couldn't stand Kondo Masahiko. Nakamori Akina and Kondo Masahiko broke up, and Tahara Toshihiko secretly applauded. Making such a joke now seems to be taking advantage of the opportunity to make a match.
Because these idols work together all day long, "internal digestion" is quite common.
Motoki Masahiro just smiled noncommittally at Tahara Toshihiko's joke.
Kyoko Koizumi, the only person in the audience who was not burdened to watch the fun, looked at Masahiro Motoki, who had an uncertain attitude, and then went to observe Akina Nakamori.
