Deciding to go to enjoy the early cherry blossoms, in addition to the three members of the band, Iwahashi Shinichi also invited BOLAN's Gomi Takaji, Kuribayashi Seiichiro, and the recording studio girl Okada Yukiko were also invited.
During the underground period, Gomi Takashi worked as a support musician for Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa-chan. The three of them met earlier than Nakamura. After he joined the production company, he was sometimes called by Shinichi Iwahashi to play for DREAMS COME TRUE.
help.
During this circus tour, BOLAN, where he works, also has to act as a performer for the band.
As for Seiichiro Kuribayashi and Yukiko Okada, DREAMS COME TRUE spent all day in the recording studio of the production company before their debut. Miwa-chan is also very familiar with Nakamura-san and these two people.
The more people there are, the more lively the atmosphere will be.
Otherwise, with just the three of them, it will inevitably become a "subordinate" situation, and Brother Nakamura will 100% transform into a super-large light bulb.
Having said that, if there are only three members of the band hanging out, it would be no different than putting "I am the Giraffe Man" on Shinichi Iwahashi.
However, with the addition of Seiichiro Kuribayashi and Takaji Gomi, it becomes a classic configuration of Conan the Archer, one of three choices.
One more man means one more "suspected giraffe man", and the real man in black is hidden among them.
As long as you don’t meet the famous needle target Moori Kogoro and his marksman son-in-law while enjoying the cherry blossoms, and because what you brought for the picnic are not Japanese rice balls but sandwiches, you are questioned that "there must be something wrong with eating sandwiches while viewing the cherry blossoms", then it will still be
The perfect crime.
Of course, I said I was going on an outing with a bento, but in fact I made a reservation in advance at a restaurant next to Itokawa and booked a room where I could enjoy the cherry blossoms while eating.
Depart in the morning, go to Atami to enjoy early cherry blossoms, and then go to the plum garden to see plum blossoms - Atami's plum garden, all kinds of plum blossoms are in bloom all year round, eat some seasonal dishes, and then visit Ginza in Atami. In the evening
Return to Tokyo.
The whole day's itinerary is clearly arranged.
The person who said she wanted to go on an outing after listening to the song was Watanabe Mayumi, but Shinichi Iwahashi planned to form a group, but it was not convenient to invite her. Firstly, she was not familiar with the other people, so she felt uncomfortable going there, and secondly, DREAMS COME TRUE
Talk to the boss of BOLAN——
Planning for BOLAN's debut began, and the band's managerial appointment was naturally given to Watanabe Wan Yumi.
Although Shinichi Iwahashi is also the boss of everyone except DREAMS COME TRUE, he is also the music producer, the friend who discusses music with these people, and Watanabe Manyumi, a stranger who holds the power of life and death of the band.
The boss is different.
No one wants to travel with their big boss.
Of course, Watanabe Manyumi knew this very well, so she only offered to reimburse them for their outing expenses. After being rejected by Iwahashi Shinichi, she let it go and never mentioned it again or asked another question.
…
The day before going to Atami, Iwahashi Shinichi went back at night and called Nakamori Akina - at this time, she had just returned home from work.
It was late, and we had just gotten off work. We were too tired to go anywhere, so we made a phone call to chat.
Iwahashi Shinichi told her that he would go to Atami to enjoy the cherry blossoms tomorrow. "A few people from the band... I also called Yukiko."
As he spoke, he thought that with Yukiko Okada's personality, after returning from Atami, she would happily call Akina Nakamori and tell her about the sightseeing.
Akina Nakamori said "Ah" and said, "I'm so envious."
"I'm so envious." She said again.
At this time, she was sitting on the sofa, with her feet on the edge of the sofa, curled up like a kitten, and while talking on the phone, she touched her knees with her chin.
"I have to record a program tomorrow and go to the concert rehearsal in the afternoon." Akina Nakamori told him about her schedule.
This year is the eighth anniversary of her debut, and she has scheduled a concert.
The career life of female idols is not long, and it is a miracle that they can still be very popular even after their eighth anniversary. Nakamori Akina's idol Yamaguchi Momoe announced her marriage and retirement in the eighth year of her debut.
As a singer, when your eighth anniversary comes, as long as you don't retire voluntarily, your tenth anniversary will be right around the corner.
When Akina Nakamori debuted, she didn't expect that she would be able to sing for so long, but now that it's the eighth anniversary, it seems that the tenth anniversary has become a natural thing.
The agency and the record company also believe that the eighth anniversary concert has not yet started, but they are already preparing for the tenth anniversary - in fact, for the singer, as long as the popularity is still there, the tenth anniversary, the twentieth anniversary,
Preparations usually start one or two years in advance.
At her peak, Akina Nakamori is a cash cow for Warner Records and Kenyin.
"I also want to go somewhere to play with Shen Yi-kun," she said.
Iwahashi Shinichi also wanted to go play with her, "Let's go during my vacation later." As he said that, he felt embarrassed at first and complained: "I haven't fulfilled my promise to go to the amusement park before, so I made a new plan.
coming."
If you just talk but don't do anything, you're like a liar who only knows how to spread the pie.
"Haha." Nakamori Akina's words made him laugh.
However, I didn't care about my unfulfilled promise to go to the amusement park, so I told him, "Just do the same."
Go to an amusement park to ride a roller coaster first, and then travel.
When traveling, first go for a short trip that can be returned in the same day, and then go for a slightly further trip... She was imagining it in her mind as she spoke.
Such a rich imagination actually hides his trust in Shinichi Iwahashi.
Nakamori Akina didn't feel that Iwahashi Shinichi was fooling her, nor did she feel that this was writing a bad promise. This was not entirely because "going to play together" was not something difficult to accomplish.
But in her heart, she first made sure that Iwahashi Shinichi was the kind of person who would do whatever he said, so she was willing to believe whatever he said.
Therefore, I am willing to follow his words and "imagine".
"Come the same."
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed when he heard her slow words, "Okay."
Nakamori Akina's mood rose with him.
"I'm going to enjoy the cherry blossoms tomorrow..." She imagined the scene for a moment and told Shin Iwahashi, "When you're enjoying the cherry blossoms, you'll look good in a blue shirt."
Sunny day, pink cherry blossoms, blue shirt. Just thinking about it makes me feel happy.
Akina Nakamori couldn't go with her, but she gained a subtle sense of participation when she was thinking about tomorrow's outfit for her boyfriend.
"At this time of year, it's a little early to wear blue if you're in Tokyo. But Atami is just right." She thought carefully.
Iwahashi Shinichi had no idea about what seasons and colors were appropriate. However, Nakamori Akina arranged it like this, so he agreed, "It's up to you. I'll wear a blue shirt tomorrow."
"Yes." Nakamori Akina responded with a satisfied smile.
…
The next day, he indeed wore a blue shirt and went to Atami to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
Including the driver, there were a total of seven people going to Atami together. As soon as Shinji Iwahashi caught Iijima Mitochi, he used all his strength. When he went on a private outing, he asked her to help drive.
Mitsuo Iijima went to pick up people one by one. When he picked up Okada Yukiko, he almost thought he had made a mistake.
Although she has never chased female idols, and Okada Yukiko has also retired for a long time, she was a popular idol at the time and retired at her peak. She was full of topics. Miji Iijima saw her many times when watching TV and newspapers.
Second-rate.
She has an outstanding memory and is good at recognizing people. After a few glances, she can definitely recognize that this is Okada Yukiko.
Iwahashi Shinichi was talking about going to Atami to enjoy the cherry blossoms with his friends. So, is this retired popular female idol a friend of Iwahashi-san?
Mitsuo Iijima has outstanding professional qualities and never talks too much when he shouldn't ask. Although he secretly observed and recognized Okada Yukiko, he did not show any surprise or surprise at all, as if he had no idea.
But in my heart, I couldn't help but secretly guess what kind of relationship there was.
However, Okada Yukiko didn't care at all and greeted her cheerfully.
Yukiko Okada has retired for two years and has almost faded out of the public eye - although there are always some people who have a special affection for stars who have retired from their peak and whose image has been fixed at the most perfect moment, but in the end it has been a long time.
She is very happy being an ordinary female college student. She goes to school, works part-time in the recording studio, and hangs out with friends...and the classmates and colleagues around her are also accustomed to the fact that she is a former popular idol.
When we were hanging out together, there was a classmate who deliberately sang songs from her idol days. The singer was not worried about making a fool of herself in front of the original singer, and she had no special feeling at all when others sang her own songs.
She was completely relieved and didn't care whether strangers would recognize her or what they thought.
"Good morning, Yukiko!"
Okada Yukiko is very popular in the production company, and both Takaji Gomi and Seiichiro Kuribayashi love her as a younger sister.
Such high popularity is not due to her status as a former idol, but her lively, cheerful, innocent and natural personality.
Even Miwa-chan and Nakamura-san like Okada Yukiko very much.
…
Miwa-chan’s smile is carefree, and Okada Yukiko’s smile is cheerful and innocent.
The two girls who were traveling together had nothing in common with each other in terms of personalities and aspects, but they had something in common that made them feel happy when they smiled.
Iwahashi Shinichi bought several disposable cameras and used them for those who wanted to take pictures. Except for Takaji Gomi and Seiichiro Kuribayashi, who didn't like taking pictures, everyone else had one in hand and took pictures like tourists.
When they first came out, they all acted together, but not long after, the troops split into two groups. Brother Nakamura and Takashi Gomi left the group, leaving Shinichi Iwahashi and Seiichiro Kuribayashi, who continued to hang out with the two girls.
The band is now popular, and Miwa-chan was recognized several times when meeting tourists in Atami.
Miraculously, in the absence of Nakamura-san, even if Miwa-chan is recognized by tourists, no one will associate the two men with her with the Giraffe Man.
But on the other hand, if Miwa-chan and Nakamura-chan are both there, then the third person traveling with them will make people subconsciously think that he is a giraffe man - even if he is actually just a staff member.
There were two or three girls, across the Itokawa River, waving to Miwa-chan quite enthusiastically.
Miwa-chan also smiled and greeted them.
Okada Yukiko, who was walking with Miwa-chan, but no one recognized her anymore, looked at Miwa-chan interacting with fans with a smile on her face, and thought it was interesting to look at this from the perspective of a bystander.
Shinichi Iwahashi, who was standing behind them, took the opportunity to take a picture of the two girls standing under the cherry tree, laughing about different things.
Alarmed by him, Okada Yukiko smiled at him. Miwa-chan came back to her senses. Not to be outdone, she also raised her camera and took a picture of Iwahashi Shinichi who had not yet put down the camera. Then, she showed a hearty smile.
.
Iwahashi Shinichi called her and made her laugh.
Shinichi Iwahashi stands under the cherry blossom tree, wearing a blue shirt.
Miwa-chan didn't actually just realize that he was wearing a blue shirt today, but when she was in Itokawa and surrounded by Sakura fans, she felt that this ordinary blue shirt suddenly seemed so appropriate.
"Let's go." Shinichi Iwahashi walked towards the two girls.
Seiichiro Kuribayashi, who was a bit shy, followed him. He was wondering if the position where he was standing just now had been taken into the photo by Yoshida-san.
"Iwahashi-san's shirt is very nice."
Okada Yukiko opened her mouth and said what Miwa-chan was thinking.
After being praised, Shinichi Iwahashi smiled and said thank you.
Miwa-chan teased him, "I can't tell, but Shinichi-kun is pretty good at dressing up."
"It's okay." Iwahashi Shinichi faced her, not modest at all.
Miwa-chan disliked him, "How dare you say that."... He was so brazen. However, while he was arguing with his mouth, his eyes looked at him again.
He hummed casually: "If you wear a blue shirt, it will really match you~"
Iwahashi Shinichi was moved and stopped talking to her about the soybeans.
Feeling that she had won a round against him, Miwa-chan was in a good mood. She ignored Iwahashi Shinichi and went to talk to Okada Yukiko. The two girls were in high spirits and headed to the next place together, leaving Iwahashi Shinichi and Kuribayashi Seiichiro behind.
Thrown behind him.
…
Yukiko Okada and Miwa Yoshida headed towards the rose garden in Atami.
Atami has a pleasant climate and cultivates a variety of flowers and plants. In February, there are early cherry blossoms, plum blossoms and roses.
Yukiko Okada was a little concerned about leaving the team with Shinichi Iwahashi and Seiichiro Kuribayashi at first, and looked back from time to time to see if the two of them had caught up.
But gradually, I got used to Yoshida Miwa's tone and pace, and no longer cared about the two people behind.
Because she heard Miwa Yoshida humming.
Miwa Yoshida seemed to be very happy after she separated from Shinichi Iwahashi. When Yukiko Okada was with her, she could feel her mood rising and humming songs from time to time.
"Let me plan a page of your photo album today~"
"Look here and smile, don't be shy, Smile, Smile, Smile~"
She could even sing the words she usually said when taking pictures into a song? Okada Yukiko was listening to her singing and admired Miwa Yoshida.
Yoshida-san is really talented.
"Under the secret bridge, in the sandpit of the park."
"Use the cherry blossom trees as the background and open your hands to the sky."
Yoshida Miwa didn't know how Okada Yukiko viewed her. She was immersed in her own world, humming freely in the hot sea of early spring.
"Look here and smile, don't be shy, Smile, Smile, Smile~"
