After returning to Tokyo, Shinichi Iwahashi took out the letters he had accumulated over the past few days from the mailbox in his apartment.
A week into the new year, all the New Year cards that should be received have been received. Letters that are not particularly personal are usually sent to the company. Therefore, the mailbox in the apartment has returned to work after being busy for a while during the New Year period.
A daily life filled with advertising flyers.
The reply written by Akina Nakamori to him was among a bunch of flyers for newly opened amusement parks, water centers, golf membership recruitment, ski resort discounts and the like.
When merchants distributed flyers, they would never have thought of the ban on entertainment that will soon usher in the national mourning period. Except for ski resorts, which are not within the scope of the ban, other merchants' activities will have to be re-adjusted.
Movie theaters, discos, amusement parks, etc. have all been suspended. Now it seems that the biggest winners during the national mourning period are undoubtedly billiard rooms, video stores, and ski resorts.
While some bosses are worrying about the ban on entertainment, there are other bosses who are probably overjoyed and hoping in their hearts that the ban on entertainment will last as long as possible.
Of course, the "ban on entertainment" only applies to ordinary people. Those who have money and leisure can just fly abroad and enjoy themselves.
No matter when or what happens, rich people can always find a comfortable lifestyle.
And the only people who are played around by times and things are ordinary people.
Amusement parks, water centers, and ski resorts are all dating destinations.
Especially in ski resorts, since the movie "Take Me Skiing" starring Tomoyo Harada was released, going skiing together has become an ideal date for young couples.
Couples make money easily, this is the consensus of all walks of life.
I don’t know if it’s because Shinichi Iwahashi is not very romantic, but when he saw the poster for “Take Me Skiing”, all his attention was focused on the heroine’s ski clothes.
Wearing white ski clothes to go skiing is a bit bold.
Iwahashi Shinichi scanned the pile of flyers for the date destination, and when he read Nakamori Akina's letter, he subconsciously thought, should he also invite Nakamori Akina to have fun there when he is on vacation?
If you buy a couple's ticket, there are discounts.
With Nakamori Akina's style of picking up wool on discount days when watching a movie, she would definitely be happy to get a discount.
It's just that one is a black man in the industry and the other is Taopu Star.
If we really go out together and are photographed or recognized, things will definitely be troublesome. If nothing else, Mr. Nozaki will definitely come to our door.
Falling in love is difficult.
It is difficult to fall in love with a female celebrity.
Falling in love with Taopu Star... is this considered falling in love, right?
That seemed quite happy.
Although having to hide from reporters is really troublesome.
Iwahashi Shinichi opened the letter from Akina Nakamori while thinking about it in his mind. Along with the letter paper, he took out the expected origami paper.
However, it was expected that this letter would come with new origami paper, but the origami pattern surprised Iwahashi Shinichi.
According to her previous routine, after the origami peacock she made last time, she should have prepared more complicated origami this time that would make him helpless and surrender.
But I didn't expect that what I received this time was an origami polar bear that didn't look too complicated.
No wonder she took less time to learn origami this time.
This Taopusida doesn't play according to the routine.
This origami polar bear is exquisitely made and cute. Iwahashi Shinichi likes polar bears and thinks this origami is quite interesting.
Taking it in his hand and looking at it, he suddenly understood the reason why Akina Nakamori chose the polar bear, and felt a warmth in his heart.
After reading the letter, Shinichi Iwahashi called Nakamori Akina and told her that he had returned to Tokyo, "...but, there is a lot of work backlogged at hand."
Let alone buying a couple's ticket for a wool-picking date, it's not easy to even find a place to have a cup of tea together.
After this busy period, it will be another week at least.
Having said that, these days, movie theaters are closed, no dancing is allowed at discos, amusement parks are closed and no customers are allowed, and all places suitable for couples to enhance their relationship are closed to couples.
Akina Nakamori was still a big star. During the first seven years, if she was photographed going on dates with men or going on night outs to drink tea, she would always attract some criticism.
Even if both of us are at home with nothing to do, there is no way to have a serious date.
Akina Nakamori was a little disappointed, but she still told him to get busy with work first.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while and asked her if she was free after eight o'clock these days.
The most serious forty-eight hours after Tian Locust raised his eyebrows have passed. The news is no longer scrolling on the TV, and programs have begun to resume one after another.
However, I have not yet made my debut, and the program that is too happy will definitely not be broadcast.
As for Nakamori Akina, after she got an unexpected holiday on the 7th, she resumed work the next day. The working hours in the entertainment industry are irregular, so I asked this question.
On the phone, Nakamori Akina said to wait a moment, as if to look through the schedule. After a while, she told him that the work would end at the earliest on the 10th, and it would be done before six o'clock.
"Then do you want to come to my office again?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked her.
Anyway, at the production company, even if they occasionally work overtime, the employees are guaranteed to get off work and leave as soon as eight o'clock. There is no need to worry about any commotion caused by a Taopusita suddenly coming to the door.
When you come here, you don’t have to worry about being photographed by reporters.
Although "dating" in the office is a bit nondescript, it's not like I've done it before.
Of course, the most important thing is that Shinichi Iwahashi also wants to see her.
Although they are both in the entertainment industry, one is in front of the stage and the other is behind the scenes, and there is no overlap in their work. I just let nature take its course and wait for the next time we meet again. But once I think about meeting in my mind, I start to feel inconvenient.
When I was in Osaka, I would receive calls from her from time to time. On the 7th, the call she made from the phone booth made Iwahashi Shinichi's heart even more affected by her.
Nakamori Akina's whole body's heat was directed toward him.
"OK?"
Akina Nakamori, who had just been a little disappointed, cheered up again because of his suggestion.
"However," Shinichi Iwahashi changed his subject, "Although I invite you to come over, if there is still unfinished work at hand, I might just leave you aside and do my own thing."
"As long as I'm not in the way..."
After getting the answer of "Of course not", Akina Nakamori replied with a smile: "I promise I won't bother you either."
So, the two agreed that on the evening of the 10th, Nakamori Akina would call him first to confirm that he had not changed his schedule at any time, and then they would meet at the production company's office.
…
Just after eight o'clock, Akina Nakamori paged Shinichi Iwahashi.
After making the promised phone call, she was anxious to cash it in immediately. On the tenth day, in the afternoon, she was very energetic when working.
She couldn't hide something in her heart. She liked Iwahashi Shinichi and wanted to be with him.
When the work was over, her agent Da Ben sent her home and said that she had been particularly energetic recently.
When I called out the page, I was still a little worried as I didn't know if Shinichi Iwahashi's plan would change temporarily. It's common for someone behind the scenes to be called away suddenly for something.
The reply call came quickly, and she picked up the receiver. It was Shinichi Iwahashi, telling her, "I'm right here."
After receiving this answer, the troubles that Nakamori Akina had just sought for herself immediately dissipated.
"Then I'll go over there now."
Iwahashi Shinichi asked her, "Do you still remember how to get there?"
Akina Nakamori smiled and replied "I remember".
Putting down the receiver, she thought for a while and put the paper she had prepared for origami polar bears and the pens used to paint the facial features of the polar bear into her handbag.
Before going out, she called the taxi company again.
I made an appointment with my sweetheart to meet in his office. On the way there, Akina Nakamori thought about this and found it very interesting. She couldn't help but laugh.
Is this considered a “date”?
I wonder if others will have such a wonderful dating experience...
The last time we met was in his office, and now she was going to see him in his office again. Akina Nakamori thought a little nonsensically whether this could be considered an "office romance".
A word that was foreign and far away to her came into Akina Nakamori's mind.
She entered the entertainment industry and became an idol when she was still a middle school student, and has never lived an ordinary life.
If she didn't become an idol, but instead went to a company to become an office girl after finishing high school or junior college, she might also have an "office romance" with a colleague in the office.
But since it didn't happen, it's only imagination.
However, even though she entered the entertainment industry early and became an idol, she didn't know what kind of life it was like to be an office worker. But precisely because she didn't know, when she had such an association, she found it even more interesting.
Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Akina Nakamori was thinking, lowering her head and snickering.
…
After the New Year's holiday, Genzo's new office has been put into use for a few days. Compared to the last time we had Akina Nakamori come over, it looks a little more smoky.
Of course, there is also more tea for entertaining guests, so there is no need to go to the convenience store anymore.
With enough food and grass, after Shinichi Iwahashi made the call, he calmly stayed put and continued writing his plan.
For large-scale tours, there is no need to spread out too much. You can just choose to hold them in big cities. This will facilitate the transportation and construction of the stage, and it will also make it easier to mobilize the audience.
Of course, the most important thing is that the cost of large-scale performances is too high, and it is not suitable to change locations frequently, or to choose remote cities with few people.
In terms of stage style, the three-sided stage is the most traditional one. It can not only take into account the audience present, but also make it convenient to go from the front to the back of the stage. It is an insurance card that can never go wrong.
However, if you are doing a circus-style outdoor performance, the three-sided stage will lack that dreamy feeling.
A stage that is open on all sides is also an option, but the boxy stage looks a bit dull. Shinichi Iwahashi thought about it and wanted to build the stage into a round stage similar to a carousel in an amusement park.
In that way, it is closer to the concepts of "circus" and "garden party".
If it were really made into a circular stage, how would it feel to make it look like a garden party while approaching the concept of a circus and a garden party, as well as the surrounding stalls outside the venue?
Once you catch a certain idea and continue to imagine it, you will suddenly have a bunch of more usable ideas.
Iwahashi Shinichi wrote quickly and diligently.
In addition to the main stage, there is another issue that must be considered.
No matter what type of stage is set up, whether and how to set up the flower arrangement on the stage is also an issue that must be considered.
The so-called ikebana is something that extended from the kabuki stage and was later applied to the stage of pop culture.
It refers to the slender stage extending outward from the main stage. It is not only an extension of the main stage, but also plays a very important role in making it convenient for singers to go among the audience and interact with them at close range.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it in his mind and felt that imagination alone was not enough, so he took out another piece of paper and used his poor drawing skills to draw the stage in his imagination.
While I was immersed in the work at hand, I heard a knock on the door outside.
He put down his pen and went to open the door.
…
The girl standing outside the door was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, and was fully armed. However, even though she had not taken off her disguise, her identity was clear when she saw her smiling eyes.
"Welcome." Iwahashi Shinichi also smiled.
Nakamori Akina then took off her mask and said with a smile: "Good evening, Shinichi-kun."
"Good evening." Iwahashi Shinichi imitated.
The two people faced each other and smiled at each other. Then, Shinichi Iwahashi took a step aside.
Akina Nakamori walked in and looked around curiously.
Iwahashi Shinichi saw it and asked casually, "Is it a mess?"
"Compared to the last time I came here, it's really messy." Akina Nakamori answered honestly.
Shinichi Iwahashi laughed at her frankness, "Because the last time I invited you over, I hadn't started using it yet."
"Last time..." Akina Nakamori heard him mention it and turned to look at him.
Looking into her eyes, the memory of the last time also revived in Iwahashi Shinichi's mind.
Tacitly.
"Although it's a mess compared to the last time I came here, compared with last time, the reserves now are also very complete."
Shinichi Iwahashi walked into the reception room and asked her, "What would you like to drink, Akina-san?"
"Just tea." Akina Nakamori replied.
…
Shin Iwahashi brought the brewed tea to the coffee table.
Nakamori Akina said "thank you", remembered something, and asked him: "Has Shinichi-kun finished his work?"
"And a little tail."
Iwahashi Shinichi said and sat down on the sofa.
"You can don't worry about me for now." Akina Nakamori said, "If you have any unfinished work, please go to work first."
She had said this before when we made an appointment on the phone.
Iwahashi Shinichi was still sitting there without moving. Although he said on the phone that he had left her alone until the work was done, when someone really came, you couldn't really leave her alone.
"Shinichi-kun said, it's just a little tail. "It can be done soon, right?" Nakamori Akina insisted. She didn't want to be someone who would cause trouble to Iwahashi Shinichi.
"I promise not to disturb you."
As she spoke, she made a "please" gesture to urge him.
