Akina Nakamori went to London on a business trip this time. Not only did she have a shooting job, she also did a lot of shopping after work.
It's not easy to be a fashionista. To cultivate your taste, you have to buy and buy. The more Taopusida earns, the more he spends. He doesn't hesitate to buy clothes and spends generously. When he goes out, he gains a lot.
She bought things for herself, silk scarves for her mother, souvenirs for her family, and gifts for friends. Of course, she couldn't forget Shinichi Iwahashi even when she was on a business trip.
However, when she brought over the gift, Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.
Akina Nakamori bought a tie for Shinichi Iwahashi.
The women who gave her a tie include Okada Yukiko and Watanabe Manyumi. Nakamori Akina gave him a tie. Such gifts are actually nothing special.
Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to laugh because she gave away seven of them.
A number that can summon a divine dragon.
"I can change my ties every week," he said.
Being ridiculed like this, Nakamori Akina herself was embarrassed, "I didn't plan to buy so many..." But she went out for a shopping trip and came back with new ones without even realizing it.
"But I don't mean to ask you to change one every day." Akina Nakamori pointed at the tie and explained it one by one. This one is suitable for TV, this one is suitable for work, and this one is perfect for attending receptions...
Of course, you have to add "she thinks".
Every one of them has its merits. Iwahashi Shinichi listened and was startled by her logical arrangement. "I have never been so particular."
Akina Nakamori used laughter to get through.
It's a bit exaggerated, but it would be better to say that choosing a tie for her boyfriend to suit the occasion satisfies her imagination of a "love relationship" in a sense.
Even so, it is just imagination and lacks practice. Two of them are too fashionable and Shinichi Iwahashi cannot tie them out at all.
He didn't say anything, changed the subject, and pointed to the only knitted tie, "Where's this one?"
As expected, she made the arrangements properly and told him: "This will be tied on the date."
"Okay." Iwahashi Shinichi followed suit, "I'll use this to see you the next time we go on a date."
As soon as she said "next time", Nakamori Akina became very excited and began to think about how to go on a date next time. Iwahashi Shinichi's calm personality and subtle tolerance encouraged her enthusiasm to move forward.
Of course, Akina Nakamori’s enthusiasm is not without reason. In February, there is Valentine’s Day, an important holiday for lovers.
This festival marketed by merchants has grown to an unprecedented extent in the money soil of Japan's current bubble era. Japanese men and women, as well as men and women, have always celebrated this festival as a New Year's Eve for lovers.
In a little more than a week, it's Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day is not a day off, and the two may not have the right schedule to go on a date, but even so, it will not affect Akina Nakamori's enthusiasm and expectations for the upcoming holiday.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if it’s a holiday marketed by businesses. Anyway, couples who look forward to meeting and dating on Valentine’s Day will have this kind of enthusiasm and expectation every day, even if it’s not on this day, then at other times.
"When the time comes, can I give you chocolates, okay?" she asked openly and openly.
Of course there is no problem with this. However, she followed it up with another sentence, as if the next sentence was the real purpose of the question.
"Can I give you heart-shaped chocolates?"
Iwahashi Shinichi is a very steady person. Although Nakamori Akina likes his stability, she always has the strange thought of doing something to him that has nothing to do with "steadiness" to see how he reacts.
If he is in trouble
Nakamori Akina quietly put her hand into the pocket of her housecoat and held the disposable camera. After confiscating the camera just now, she took it with her, but she waited and waited, but no chance came.
It's so difficult to take ugly photos of Shinichi-kun.
"Okay." Iwahashi Shinichi agreed without any embarrassment.
However, he thought about it and said seriously: "Any shape is fine, as long as it doesn't have a mustard flavor or devil's spicy flavor, or you won't be able to eat it."
It is more realistic to care about taste than about shape.
He said something serious and funny, and Akina Nakamori was made to laugh heartily by him. The idea of teasing him and taking pictures had long been forgotten.
She will care about the taste of chocolate on Valentine's Day, and the subtext is that she will eat the chocolate she gives.
Thinking of this, Akina Nakamori assured him with a smile, "I won't do that." In this way, she was a bit like a naughty child saying to an adult, "I will never make trouble."
Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help laughing when he saw her childish look.
Nakamori Akina looked for an opening, took out the camera in her hand, and pressed the shutter at him. Unexpectedly, she chose this time to take pictures. Iwahashi Shinichi was a little surprised and stared at her.
Nakamori Akina was satisfied after taking the photo. She held down his knees, moved closer to him, and faced him face to face, "Shinichi-kun looks good when he smiles."
She was full of energy, stretched out her fingers, touched the corner of Iwahashi Shinichi's mouth, and pushed it up. Putting her hand down, her lips came closer and touched lightly.
Like a child who had finished playing a prank, he looked at him triumphantly with a strange sense of accomplishment after success.
Since it's difficult to take ugly photos of him, let's take more photos of him that are handsome and good-looking... Nakamori Akina's train of thought changed, and she felt that her material suddenly increased.
He held the camera in his hand again and faced him pretendingly, "Look here and smile~"
The famous saying of the photo studio is "look over here and smile".
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Iwahashi Shinichi's mind.
…
The two of them didn't go anywhere. After dinner, they stayed in the apartment, drinking some tea and talking. Starting at eight o'clock, there was a variety show that Akina Nakamori liked. Shinichi Iwahashi also watched TV with her for a while.
Akina Nakamori was so amused by the show that she would pull Shinichi Iwahashi and complain to him from time to time.
Many of the jokes in Japanese variety shows can only be understood if you have an understanding of their culture. When Iwahashi Shinichi first arrived, he was always confused by the variety shows on TV. The only thing that could make him feel comfortable
What’s funny is Akashi’s saury.
However, when I entered the entertainment industry, I first worked for Akiko Matsumoto as her manager, planning her transition into variety shows, and then worked on producing variety shows. I even hung out with TV script writers from time to time in the past year. For this,
I have a very deep understanding of it and can watch variety shows without any problems.
Of course, if you look at traditional Japanese culture such as rakugo, you won’t be able to see what’s interesting about it.
However, prime-time variety shows suitable for all ages are naturally easy to understand and funny.
It was past eight-thirty, the program on the TV was coming to an end, and Akina Nakamori was talking more and more.
She knew that he couldn't stay, but when she thought that the time of separation was coming soon, Iwahashi Shinto was clearly by her side, but she felt lonely in her heart.
I felt lonely in my heart and started talking non-stop.
The list of performers started to scroll on the TV, and when the screen cut to an advertisement, she stopped talking.
Iwahashi Shinichi raised his wrist and looked at the time.
It's almost time to go back.
Before he could speak, Nakamori Akina leaned towards him, nestled into his arms, and puffed out her cheeks.
"What's wrong?" Iwahashi Shinichi touched her head.
The less she wanted to say goodbye to him, Nakamori Akina said first: "It's getting late."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said "Yeah", "I'm almost going back." After thinking about it, he told her, "Tomorrow morning, I'm going to Yamanashi Prefecture to play golf with the advertising representatives of Fujifilm."
There was another schedule tomorrow. After hearing this, Akina Nakamori thought that he could go back and rest early. Shinichi Iwahashi remained calm and quietly relieved her of her loneliness about the separation.
There is a difference between having something to do the next day and having nothing to do the next day.
He stood up and straightened his clothes.
Nakamori Akina sent him to the entrance. Iwahashi Shinichi put on his coat and stretched out his hand to her, "There is also a camera."
Tonight, after she confiscated it, no more photos of her were taken.
Akina Nakamori put her hand into the pocket of her housecoat and took it out, but before returning it, she pressed the shutter towards Shinichi Iwahashi who reached out to her for the camera.
I took one picture first, looked at the counter on the camera, handed it back to him, and said with a smile, "I can still take seventeen more pictures."
A disposable camera can take a total of twenty-seven pictures.
"Then when I come here next time, I can continue to use this one."
Akina Nakamori nodded, "When the photos are developed, give me a copy too."
She acted as if she had given him full authority, and was not worried at all. The disposable camera contained various photos of her life without makeup, as well as a single photo of Shinichi Iwahashi.
As long as it falls into the hands of others, the relationship between the two is self-evident.
If the photographer who commissioned the development made a copy of the photos and sold them to a weekly magazine, and the two of them secretly dated for a long time, the result would be known to the world because of a roll of film.
However, she was very sure that since Shinichi Iwahashi knew how to take pictures, he would have a way to rinse them.
"Of course." Shinichi Iwahashi promised her: "I won't keep the photos that I didn't take privately."
Of course. Since I know how to take pictures of her, I have a way to develop the photos.
Iwahashi Shin took the camera and put it in his pocket. He stretched out his arms and hugged her.
The two of them sat in the entrance hall for a while. Nakamori Akina raised her face and said to him with a smile: "Go hard tomorrow, President-san."
"Ha ha."
When she called her president, Shinichi Iwahashi laughed hard.
Nakamori Akina looked at his smile, touched his shoulder with her forehead, and let go of him. Shinichi Iwahashi had the gentleness to comfort her calmly, and she also had her own way of diluting her reluctance when parting.
…
The next day's golf social, Watanabe Mayumi also went together. Her brother-in-law, Narita Hiroyuki, who helped pull the strings, was among the same party.
The band's boss is Watanabe Manyumi. When it comes to advertising sponsorship, there will be no protagonist without Watanabe Manyumi present. However, Watanabe Manyumi is talking about cooperation. The specific negotiation requires Iwahashi Shinichi, the person in charge of the band's production.
Get ahead.
During the bubble era, construction projects were carried out all over the country, and everything was built. Golf courses were the main players in this construction boom.
The golf course in Yamanashi Prefecture provided attentive service and sent a helicopter to welcome guests.
In the age of exaggeration, even social gatherings are as exaggerated as they come. The same goes for golf socializing. Just going to Yokohama to play golf on weekends is no longer enough. Traveling to Yamanashi Prefecture or a day trip is enough.
Iwahashi Shinichi's golf was taught by Watanabe Manyumi. This kind of sport, which was not available to ordinary people in the rabbit country in his previous life, has become a necessary social skill for office workers in Japan.
Nobi Nobita's father, Nohara Shinnosuke's father, these office workers were all asked by their bosses to play golf on Sunday.
These days, more and more young women come to play golf. The golf driving range even recruits students from housewives, attracting women to participate in this sport that originally belonged to men.
Although women who play golf basically do it for fun, few of them really study seriously.
Therefore, a master like Watanabe Wanyumi impressed his peers, Hiroyuki Narita and the people at Fujifilm.
"As expected of you, Wanyumi-san." Shinichi Iwahashi joked quietly to Wanyumi Watanabe.
Watanabe Manyumi just laughed at his ridicule.
The ball that needed to be played was played, and the things that needed to be discussed were probably settled.
A representative from Fujifilm said, "Basically speaking, I want a song that is as light and comfortable as possible, with a western style." As for other conditions, they will be more clearly stated when formal negotiations begin later.
However, no matter what other aspects are like, the requirements for the style of advertising songs are already very clear to this extent. Basically, the requirement of "bright and comfortable" is expected, and the accompanying "a bit more foreign style" is more necessary.
Consider it seriously.
Brisk and comfortable.
Shinichi Iwahashi remembered the flash of inspiration he had at Akina Nakamori's house last night.
"Look over here and smile."
Akina Nakamori held up the camera and said to him, "Look here and smile."
Hearing that photo studio quote, Shinichi Iwahashi remembered the lyrics that Miwa-chan once hummed, "Look over here and smile, don't be shy. Smile, Smile, Smile."
For him who has an absolute sense of pitch, he will never forget any melody he hears.
When he thought of this lyric last night, he just had an idea in his mind. Now after listening to the request made by the Fujifilm representative, he suddenly felt confident about finding a solution to the problem.
Although Miwa-chan only wrote two lines of lyrics for that song and never heard the rest of it. When she was in retreat this time to prepare for the new album, she took out the demo of her own lyrics and music, as well as the demo of the song that she filled in the lyrics for Brother Nakamura.
, none of them have this one.
Her moment of inspiration seemed to appear only briefly, and then she forgot about it.
It's almost mid-February now, and the commercial will be released in April. The representative of Fujifilm proposed that before the end of February, the band will be asked to come up with a demo of the song. After listening to the song, if it passes the test, the band will be released.
Agree to continue.
Iwahashi Shinichi made up his mind to find that piece of music when he went back and "assign homework" to Miwa-chan.
