This Saturday, "MUSIC FAIR" starring ZARD will be broadcast.
Iwahashi Shinichi was kicked out of the kitchen by his girlfriend. He was bored waiting. He remembered that there was a program today, so he borrowed her TV to watch it.
"MUSIC FAIR", which airs at six o'clock in the evening, is suitable for all ages. Although the setting is not a prime-time money-burning style, it is not shabby either, and the program's segments are not that fancy. After a brief greeting, we get to the point.
As a newcomer, ZARD was scheduled to appear first. While watching the performance on TV, he remembered that the band's tour had already begun.
Watching this live TV show, the band's performance was no different from what I saw in Osaka. Even because it was in a recording studio, and the live equipment of "MUSIC FAIR" was closer to the recording studio, the flaws were clearly audible.
However, overall, the performance is okay.
Shinichi Iwahashi watched the TV and began to think about the band's tour situation.
The new single must be released as soon as possible, taking advantage of the popularity of the debut single. And how to promote the new single...
Here he was watching TV to pass the time, and over there, Nakamori Akina's dinner was almost ready. It was rare to live a life where one could only eat a meal, so he turned off the TV and walked over to the dining table.
There was quite a lot of food on the table.
…
Throughout the whole meal, Nakamori Akina kept talking, telling him about her work and experiences during her recent business trip. The conversation started and the chatter continued.
The two of them even drank a little sake.
After the table was filled, Akina Nakamori asked him if he wanted to drink some wine.
Iwahashi Shinichi drove here and had to go back in the evening, so he didn't want to drink too much. Besides, Nakamori Akina only prepared a pot and drank it between the two of them. There was no intention of letting him go home without getting drunk.
Have a little drink to cheer you up, play for a while after dinner, and nothing will be left when you go home.
Nakamori Akina's drinking capacity is better than Iwahashi Shinichi imagined, and he drinks quite happily. This drinking attitude probably means he has a lot of fighting ability.
She herself admitted, "When I have nothing to do, I will drink some wine alone."
Rather than drinking with others outside, she prefers to hide and drink alone. "When you drink until you feel dizzy, you don't have to worry about anything. Just lie down."
"This description sounds like she drinks a lot in one go." Shinichi Iwahashi said of her.
Akina Nakamori smiled, like a child who spilled something. She was a little afraid of being blamed, but also wanted to fight for herself again, so she made a "little bit" gesture to him, "You will drink until you are dizzy."
There is very little time to plant.”
"Yeah." Iwahashi Shin nodded, believing her.
Without any suspicion, but without a perfunctory attitude, Nakamori Akina felt as if he was being treated with gentleness and consideration. She wanted to say something, but noticed that Shinichi Iwahashi's bowl was empty, and quickly refilled his meal for him.
The two sat facing each other, with the rice pot placed next to Nakamori Akina.
“This steamed rice is delicious.”
Shinichi Iwahashi listened to her talk with gusto and ate with gusto.
"The dried bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms used were from the package of dry goods brought back by Shinichi-kun." Akina Nakamori said in a particularly modest manner, passing the credit to the ingredients, "The quality of the dry goods is very good."
"I think your craftsmanship is better." Iwahashi Shinichi said honestly.
What I’m cooking tonight is home-cooked rice, but no matter what kind of taste it is, it tastes very good. To make something as ordinary as home-cooked rice “delicious” requires a bit of cooking skills.
For Shinichi Iwahashi, he lived alone when he traveled back in time. He usually either ate out or cooked some lazy dishes that combined Chinese and Western cuisine, which was a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine. It was only during the few days when he returned to his hometown during the Chinese New Year that he could experience family life.
The "homely experience" of eating home-cooked food face to face, and having someone refill the bowl when the bowl is empty is quite new to him.
"real?"
The fruits of her labor were recognized, and Akina Nakamori happily said, "This is the first time, and I'm still a little unsure about the portion. Next time Shinichi-kun comes over, I'll know how much to prepare."
"Think about next time now?" Iwahashi Shin smiled.
She nodded, "When it comes to cooking, it's a bit unnerving to eat it alone. If you prepare it for two people, you'll be more energetic."
Akina Nakamori looked at him with a smile, "So, I'm very happy to cook for you."
So cute.
Shinichi Iwahashi had a good appetite and ate his portion completely. Akina Nakamori looked like he couldn't eat anymore.
Realizing that he was looking at her, Nakamori Akina explained, "I had lunch at my mother's place and helped her eat what she couldn't eat. I felt a little full."
"Go back to your hometown?"
Nakamori Akina said "hmm" and remembered talking to her mother about Iwahashi Shinichi. But she said, "I also asked my mother some cooking tips, and I used them all."
"Really?" Iwahashi Shinichi said, "Then tonight, I have to thank your mother."
She smiled and said, "Mom is very good at things in the kitchen, and her cooking is very delicious."
"I'll know this once I see your cooking skills."
One compliment and two compliments. After hearing what he said, Nakamori Akina laughed and emphasized: "Mom's cooking skills are much better than mine~" Looking at him, "If there is a chance, I also want Shinichi-kun to taste mom
cooking skills.”
It seemed that the last sentence was what she wanted to say the most.
I want Iwahashi Shinichi to have a taste of his mother's cooking, and the subtext is that I want to take him back to see his mother. Iwahashi Shinichi can hear it.
Furthermore, I thought that she might have mentioned herself to her mother.
I don't know what was said. Iwahashi Shinichi was curious, but he couldn't ask her, so he agreed first: "Of course." He looked at her plate and asked casually: "Do you want my help?"
"Um……"
Akina Nakamori looked at him, as if she was thinking about something. Her eyes stopped on his face for a while, leaving Shinichi Iwahashi a little confused. He couldn't help but wonder if he had stepped on something that he didn't know.
Is it a Japanese custom that needs to be followed?
Just as he was about to ask, Akina Nakamori gently pushed the plate towards him, as if nothing happened just now, and said with a smile: "Then I'll leave it to you."
With such an innocent look, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but laugh.
However, Nakamori Akina made up her mind and didn't care about his reaction. She leaned on her elbows and decided to give up after seeing him struggle to no avail and put her chopsticks on her plate.
While Iwahashi Shin was helping her with the food she couldn't eat, she thought that she would eat the food she couldn't eat for her mother at noon, and in the evening, she would ask him to eat the food she couldn't eat for her.
good.
But just like that, after taking away the bowls and chopsticks, not long after, Nakamori Akina actually came up with the idea of the box of snacks brought by Iwahashi Shinichi, as if she wanted to use practical actions to prove that "sweets are placed in another stomach"
inside".
"Just eat a little."
She held the box of snacks and discussed it as if she was bargaining with Iwahashi Shinichi.
"Don't you need to control your figure?" Iwahashi Shinichi reminded her.
Nakamori Akina looked unconcerned, "It doesn't matter, I can leave that for tomorrow."
These sets of fallacies and the unstoppable appetite gave Shinichi Iwahashi a deeper understanding of her slender waist.
Nakamori Akina noticed his gaze, guessed what he was thinking, made an angry look, took two steps forward, and raised the snack box to block Iwahashi Shinichi's face.
"Don't look at it." She muttered.
Iwahashi Shinichi suppressed a laugh, took the snack box out of her hand, put it down casually, and stretched out his arms to hold her waist.
"Eat."
He said seriously, "At this level, it's okay to leave it until next month."
Nakamori Akina wasn't really angry at first, but he said this and made him laugh.
"Shen Yijun, do you want to eat?" She asked, and followed suit, wrapping her arms around his waist, pretending to measure, and nodded, "No problem, let's eat a little. Let's eat together~"
Although it is not the waistline but the stomach that decides whether he wants to eat...
"Then I'll eat some too." Iwahashi Shinichi agreed.
Akina Nakamori went to boil water to make tea and prepare plates for snacks. Everything in her house was neatly organized, including the storage in the kitchen. Shinichi Iwahashi sat on a stool at the bar and watched her busy.
"I just wanted to say that Akina-san's room is really clean."
Akina Nakamori likes to cook and organize things. She doesn't like a messy room. When she's home on vacation, her first priority is to clean the room and put things neatly, keeping everything in order.
"What does Shinichi-kun's room look like?" Akina Nakamori was curious.
"An ordinary single apartment." Shinichi Iwahashi told the truth, "If you live alone, the place is not big and not that neat, but it shouldn't be too messy to the point of irritating."
Nakamori Akina was listening with great interest when she suddenly heard Iwahashi Shinichi say: "However, I am actually planning to move again recently."
Iwahashi Shinichi said this and casually told her, "I want to change to an apartment that is closer to the company and bigger."
When he first opened a production company, he would stay in the recording studio all night from time to time, and he would go back to sleep in the apartment, which was no different from a dormitory.
Later, when we had more people and turned to the record company, we said goodbye to this situation.
Although Iwahashi Shinichi said he "can't save money," in fact, this year, his wallet has become a little bigger than before, at least as big as the belly of a dumpling.
It’s true that the record company is just starting out. The production fees from being a producer and the royalties from playing the mascot in DREAMS COME TRUE are all quite large.
In a place with a well-established copyright system, being a musician is quite a blessing.
When he first decided to be Miwa-chan's manager and rely on her to make a living, Miwa-chan asked in her heart: "Can I eat enough?" Now it seems that he can eat to the point of dripping from the corner of his mouth - if he didn't bother the record company.
.
Now, taking on the responsibility of a record company, if you want to have enough to eat, you still have to look at yourself.
Sometimes I think about it, even if I focus on making DREAMS COME TRUE, I can rely on Miwa-chan for the rest of my life.
As a result, on the road of life, there are bowls of fragrant rice left on the table without eating, just to farm and chop firewood to make enough food and clothing.
"I want to go hang out with Shinichi-kun," Akina Nakamori said.
"In a while, after I move and clean up, I will invite you to be my guest."
Nakamori Akina shook her head, "I want to go to the place where you live now first." Discuss with him, "Can I go there once before moving?"
"Of course that's no problem."
Iwahashi Shinichi agreed and joked with her, "But it might make you feel irritated."
Akina Nakamori smiled and didn't mind, "In that case, I'll clean it for you, okay?"
Using softness to overcome hardness is nothing more than that.
"It's too pitiful that people can't bear to help clean up after the first visit." Iwahashi Shin kept shaking his head and gave up, "I will clean it up before you come over."
Put everything that should be put away, and put everything that should not be seen by you under the bed first.
Living in a house with a bed is a very practical goal.
"Okay, then I'll tell you one day in advance and I'll go there the next day to give you time to clean up the room." Akina Nakamori snickered, took a sip of the snack, and narrowed her eyes with satisfaction, "It tastes really good."
This expression is exactly the same as the one I saw in Karuizawa. It seems that the recommendation of the fat young man is trustworthy.
The disposable camera was still on Shinichi Iwahashi. He took this opportunity to press the shutter button again and take a picture of her eating. After being attacked suddenly by him again, Nakamori Akina's cheeks bulged like a little bun——
Then he pressed the shutter again.
This camera did a great job tonight.
"Snapped."
The last time it was Akina Nakamori hit him hard.
…
Iwahashi Shinichi stopped, put down the camera, and changed the subject, "The confectionery shop was recommended by the producer Akimoto Yasusan. Both he and his wife were full of praise for the food in that shop."
"Is it Mr. San, the producer of Kitten Club?" Akina Nakamori was led away by his words.
"There is no other 'Akimoto Yasu-san' except that one." Shinichi Iwahashi asked, "Akina-san and Kitten Club have shared the stage many times, right?"
When Kitten Club was so popular, the other half of the female idol's sky belonged to Akina Nakamori.
"I have a very good relationship with Kudo Shizuka-chan," she said.
Of course, they are all in the entertainment industry, and Nakamori Akina also knows that Akimoto Yasushi’s wife is Takai Asamiko, a member of the Kitten Club.
"Akimoto-san also recommended some good restaurants to me,"
Iwahashi Shinichi asked her, "How about we go together next time?" He said sincerely, "The snack shop tastes good, and my expectations for the restaurant he recommended have also increased."
"Okay."
Nakamori Akina readily agreed and suddenly extended her hand to him.
"Huh?" Iwahashi Shinichi was confused.
"I want to take a picture too." Akina Nakamori asked for the disposable camera in his hand, "Let me take a picture of you too, okay?"
Failed to change topic.
Iwahashi Shin handed the camera over, sat upright, and waited for her to take the photo.
Akina Nakamori shook her head repeatedly and said: "As serious as preparing to take a driver's license photo."
"Then relax." He said a little casually.
If you cooperate too quickly, it will reveal the fact that it was intentional.
Nakamori Akina didn't accept his trick and announced: "We won't take pictures now." She pretended to look at Shinichi Iwahashi's face, "Wait until Shinichi-kun is unprepared -"
"Click." She simulated the sound of a shutter.
The weapon has been surrendered, and Iwahashi Shinichi has no choice but to accept the "Sword of Damocles" hanging above his head.
Although in his case, it would be more appropriate to say that "sooner or later he will have to pay it back if he comes out to work".
