"Senior Terushi left Japan for a few years and just came back in February. It's not convenient for me to contact you for work for a while."
Minamikawa, the Toshiba E fan's producer whom Iwahashi Shinichi met at a fat young man's family gathering, suddenly called him and asked for his help.
"It's a bit presumptuous to say this suddenly, but, Iwahashi-kun, if you need production manpower over there, could you please consider taking a look at it, Senior Terushimi?"
Minami Chuan also endorsed Utada Terumi, "As a junior, I am very convinced of senior Terumi's talent."
I don’t know what Utada Terumi’s abilities as a producer are, but Iwahashi Shinichi’s, but Minamikawa was willing to call specifically for him, so the two of them obviously have a good relationship.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi had no friendship with Minamikawa, and this relationship could make him make a special call. Utada Terumi either couldn't get a job and tried everywhere, or he was very short of money and was willing to accept anything.
As a producer, Terumi Utada has neither works nor is he famous, so his income can be imagined.
Although Keiko Fuji was once the queen of resentment songs, in fact, her peak period came and went quickly. In the 1980s, after her daughter was born, she also tried to come back one after another and released a few records, but there was no splash.
She became famous early and passed away early and completely. Her peak was nearly twenty years ago, and she had no subsequent income.
Not only that, in the 1980s, Fuji Keiko suffered from mental illness and was in an unstable state. In the past few years, she and Utada Terumi divorced several times, remarried after the divorce, and divorced again not long after the remarriage. They maintained a rather strange relationship between husband and wife.
Utada Terumi does not have a long-term contract with any record company. Producers who do not sign regular contracts are either famous enough that they are queuing up for work, or they are just a piece of bricks in the music industry that can be moved wherever needed.
This one is obviously the latter.
The last time I went to see Masatoshi Sakai, he was trying to think of a new stage name for Manami Murase. He was trying to piece together the names of a bunch of big-name enka singers, and also took into consideration the name of Keiko Fuji.
Later, when Iwahashi Shinichi contacted Sakai Masatoshi again, he heard him mention that Manami Murase's new stage name was "Fuji Ayako", which was different from "Fuji Keiko".
On the phone at that time, Masatoshi Sakai even joked that Fuji Ayako was the queen of songs of resentment. The newly minted Fuji Ayako might as well sing a song of resentment.
Masato Sakai is just talking about it, and Shinichi Iwahashi won’t take the production of singers from other companies to heart.
But unexpectedly, as soon as I finished talking about Keiko Fuji, Keiko Fuji's husband came to apply for a job.
"I see."
Iwahashi Shinichi politely agreed to Nanchuan that he would definitely cooperate with Utada Terumi if he had the chance. He put down the phone and looked at Akina Nakamori, who was sitting on the carpet in the living room. She had been doing two things since just now, arranging cartons and looking over.
He really looks like a curious kitten.
"Work phone."
Iwahashi Shinichi walked over and explained casually, looking at the living room which was still in a mess, "I don't know if it can be cleaned up before six o'clock."
She came over to help, and he made a reservation at the restaurant in advance. After packing up, they happened to go to dinner together.
Akina Nakamori was quite confident, "Absolutely no problem."
It's a little after four in the afternoon.
…
The new furniture for his new home was purchased and delivered a few days in advance. The speaker equipment Nakamori Akina agreed to give him was also delivered to his door during that period.
The little rich woman Akina Nakamori is generous with her food, and Taopusida's rice is soft and fragrant.
After the equipment was installed, Iwahashi tried it one by one, and the sound was really extraordinary.
Iwahashi Shinichi was free today and had made an appointment with a moving company in advance. He delivered all the things he wanted to bring from his old apartment early this morning and stayed at home to clean up the house.
Akina Nakamori, a little homebody, knew about it in advance and volunteered to come over to help that day.
"Is the schedule okay?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked her on the phone.
Akina Nakamori offers a generous meal, "No problem." However, it won't be available until the afternoon.
Therefore, Iwahashi Shinichi started to tidy up and put away bit by bit from the morning. In short, before she came, he put those things that would make her angry if she found them where they should go, under the bed.
After three o'clock, a phone call came from the apartment. Shinichi Iwahashi picked up the call. It was Akina Nakamori calling to confirm whether he was at home.
Iwahashi Shinichi told her "at home", and Nakamori Akina told her that she had arrived near his new home.
After confirming the specific address again, Akina Nakamori hung up the phone. About ten minutes later, the intercom rang. Shinichi Iwahashi pressed the door button, went to the entrance to pick her up, and found the slippers specially prepared for her.
.
At the end of March, as long as it is sunny, the temperature during the day is quite comfortable. As soon as Akina Nakamori walked in, she pointed at her shirt with a smile and showed off: "I am also wearing a 'blue shirt' today."
Akina Nakamori got the "Eyes to me" record sent by Shinichi Iwahashi in her mailbox. After listening to the song, the inexplicable awkwardness in her heart suddenly disappeared.
What I originally thought in my mind, "Yoshida-san watched him wearing a blue shirt and wrote a song..." suddenly changed to "That blue shirt actually gave Yoshida-san such great inspiration!", listening to this song, my mood changed.
I happily wrote a reply to Shinichi Iwahashi.
Shinichi Iwahashi sent her a version of the album to be put on the shelves of record stores, which included a voting ticket for the band's Circus Tour track.
Iwahashi Shinichi has sent her all the records that the band has released since their debut, and Nakamori Akina has also listened to them. It can be said that unconsciously, she understands the band's music better than the band's fans.
And from the point of view of seriously writing down her thoughts on the tasting, she is more of a fan than a fan.
Therefore, after getting the attached voting coupon, she became interested and filled out one too. When she sent a reply to Shinichi Iwahashi, she also sent it by the way. Of course, she did not let Shinichi Iwahashi know about it.
"The cherry blossoms in Tokyo are blooming at the right time. I went to Yoyogi yesterday, and the cherry blossoms there are beautiful." Iwahashi Shinichi saw a bag in her hand and reached over to take it for her.
As a result, Nakamori Akina put her hands back and dodged.
"I'll take it myself." She said mysteriously.
Iwahashi Shinichi glanced at the bag and said deliberately: "Isn't it a snack?"
"Not."
The move of provocation did not come in handy this time. Akina Nakamori replied with a smile, and after clicking the button, she took off her shoes and put her feet into slippers.
"Oh." Iwahashi Shinichi could only let her go.
Akina Nakamori calmly changed her shoes and asked with great enthusiasm, "Can I help you?"
...I want to ask you to stop persecuting cats.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought casually in his mind and said seriously, "It's a mess inside, and there is a lot to do."
When Nakamori Akina entered the living room, she knew that what he said was true. It was really a mess. She said she would come to help, but she was unambiguous. She rolled up her sleeves and joined the battle.
…
"It's finally done."
The messy living room was restored to tidiness. Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina both lay back and breathed a sigh of relief. The curtains were not drawn, and outside the window, night had fallen.
It's long past seven o'clock in the evening.
Cleaning the room and organizing things take a lot of time and energy, but the results seem ordinary compared to the time and experience used.
Shinichi Iwahashi, who estimated that he could finish the cleaning before six o'clock, and Akina Nakamori, who boasted that everything would be fine, were two people who had completely misjudged the situation. They looked at each other and smiled at this moment.
"Thank you~" Akina Nakamori said.
"Thank you for coming to help." Iwahashi Shinichi praised her sincerely.
Nakamori Akina was very happy to be praised. However, something suddenly occurred to her, and she leaned toward him, and asked in his ear with a bit of evil intentions, "Where did Shinichi-kun put all those things?"
"Um?"
Nakamori Akina put her head against his arm and started to swing around again. After shaking for a while, she felt dizzy and surrendered. She sighed and muttered: "...it must have been put under the bed again."
"Haha!" Iwahashi Shinichi made her laugh.
While laughing, he stretched out his arms, hugged her in his arms, and asked: "Do you want to see it too?"
"..."
Akina Nakamori was too lazy to answer him. She was hugged by him and moved restlessly in his arms, complaining: "I'm so hungry."
When it was almost six o'clock and the tidying up was not finished, Iwahashi Shinichi suggested that he go to eat first and then come back and continue tidying up after eating. However, Nakamori Akina, who was in a good mood and wanted to work hard, refused.
Since he had to wait until the cleaning was done before eating, Shinichi Iwahashi planned to call the restaurant first and postpone the reservation. However, Akina Nakamori changed his mind and did not want to go out to eat.
Shinichi Iwahashi thought about it. After tidying up and cleaning the room, he was exhausted. He had to dress up again and go out to eat in secret. It was not interesting, so he called the restaurant and canceled the reservation.
Now I'm done, but my stomach is still wet.
Akina Nakamori didn't say anything, but it was fine. As soon as he said it, Iwahashi Shinichi began to feel uncomfortable with an empty stomach. The girlfriend in his arms was not honest, so she slid down, put her ear against his belly, and pretended to listen, "
Growling."
"..."
What a cold joke.
However, it is true that he is hungry. Shinichi Iwahashi sat up and asked, "Can I order takeout?" He has extensive experience living alone and has many delivery numbers of restaurants in his address book.
"Is there nothing in Shinichi-kun's refrigerator?" Akina Nakamori was still lying down lazily.
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "There are still bottled oolong teas."
"I want to eat chicken risotto." She completely gave up the idea of having enough food and clothing, and ordered food in front of his face. With this expression, it was like the menu was written on Iwahashi Shinichi's face, and she didn't consider whether he had a risotto restaurant at all.
Delivery phone number.
"knew."
Shinichi Iwahashi went to make a phone call. After ordering the takeout, he looked at his watch and said, "I'm going out."
"where to?"
Iwahashi Shinichi's eyes moved from his watch to her face, "I'll buy you something for the night."
Akina Nakamori refused, "No need."
"Aren't you going to stay?" He followed suit and asked directly.
Nakamori Akina stared at his face, smiling happily, as if he was hiding something. Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it for a while, and then an idea flashed across his face.
"I brought them all here."
Akina Nakamori took a moment, and after he thought about it, he revealed the answer. When he entered the door just now, the bag he was not allowed to take contained pajamas and other things for the night.
“So thoughtful.”
Iwahashi Shin half-jokingly said, "I was still confused before about what style of pajamas I should choose if I want to buy pajamas for the night."
"Maybe you will buy something weird," Akina Nakamori said.
Iwahashi Shinichi's expression was subtle. She didn't think much when she said the words. Seeing his expression, she reacted, "I'm talking about Shinichi-kun's taste..."
"..." Okay, he has no taste.
Shinichi Iwahashi went to put in the bath water and asked Akina Nakamori to go to the bathroom first.
"Just go first, Mr. Shen Yi." She grew up in a traditional big family and was used to entering the bathroom in order.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care about this kind of thing, "I don't mind the order of bathing. Akina-san goes first, I'll wait here for the chicken risotto."
After hearing what he said, Akina Nakamori went in first.
The chicken risotto was delivered in an insulated box, still warm.
"It's delicious!" Akina Nakamori took a bite and narrowed her eyes with satisfaction.
With this look on his face, it would be a pity not to shoot a food commercial.
Iwahashi Shin put the rice into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it, "The risotto in this restaurant is delicious. In addition to chicken risotto, there are other..."
"How about we go to the store to eat next time?" Akina Nakamori suggested.
She had already finished taking a bath and put on the pajamas she brought with her. The style was as simple as expected. Such simple pajamas, Shinichi Iwahashi thought, had little to do with words like "taste".
"But it's a very small shop, and everyone eats close to each other." Iwahashi Shinichi meant that she might be recognized when she went there.
Nakamori Akina's focus was not on that at all. "I like small shops like that the most." She told him, "My mother was running a small shop like that before she got sick."
"That's right." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
She nodded repeatedly and told him about the small shop her mother had run. When talking about her mother, Nakamori Akina had a strange energy.
After finishing the risotto, Shin Iwahashi put the dishes into the sink and washed them amidst the sound of rushing water.
Akina Nakamori sat at the dining table, watching him busy and talking to him. Shinichi Iwahashi stayed in the kitchen, and while responding, he began to think about what she should give away the things she needed in the kitchen since she was about to move to a new house.
In addition, I also thought that next time I go to her place, I should bring everything I need to bring. Not only pajamas, but also a replacement work suit.
Wearing women's clothing is something you should never do again.
"Shinichi-kun, are you thinking of something strange?"
Akina Nakamori stopped talking, stared at him, and suddenly asked.
Shinichi Iwahashi was distracted, and without thinking, he blurted out: "Do you want anything more, Akina-san?"
Mitsuo Terada and his band members from Osaka will be coming to Tokyo in the next few days. In Tokyo, LIVEHOU, co-opened by Shinichi Iwahashi, Miwa-chan and Nakamura brother, has been in trial operation for more than a month.
