"I'm not fashionable at all." Sachiko Kamaike blurted out.
After saying this, I couldn't help it, laughed, and apologized to Shinichi Iwahashi.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care, "Actually, I don't know what fashion is all about." After thinking about it, "However, the clothes you wore for today's performance are quite good and very suitable."
The wavy long curly hair, suits with big shoulder pads, and exaggerated eye shadows that are currently popular, none of these elements appear on Kamai Sachiko.
Her whole body seemed to have been washed by water, feeling refreshed and refreshed.
Being praised for dressing is different from being praised for performance. Kamaike Sachiko lowered her eyes and looked at her fingers.
"Does Sachiko-san refuse to participate in fashion magazine shoots?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked.
Kamachi Sachiko thought for a moment, "I don't know. I just feel like I don't get along well with fashion magazines..."
"That means you're not rejecting it, but you're not confident?"
Iwahashi Shinichi said this, and Kamaike Sachiko hesitated for a while, then nodded.
She also likes to read fashion magazines. When she sees beautiful clothes and makeup on models, she wants to try them on herself. She is no different from ordinary urban women. She has both curiosity about fashion and lack of confidence in herself.
The fashion magazine that the office accepted for her, Sachiko Kamaike was also a reader of it.
"In this case, I might as well ask you to give it a try first."
Iwahashi Shinichi insisted on his idea, "Among the band's audience, the proportion of women is not low. Participating in fashion magazine shoots is also a way to communicate and interact with them. It not only conveys my ideas to them, but also has one more person who can
A way to receive their true thoughts.”
Communication and interaction are a good way to attract new fans and consolidate old fans.
"yes."
Sachiko Kamaiike listened carefully and somewhat understood why Iwahashi Shinichi asked her to participate in fashion magazine shoots and interviews. However, she still didn't know how to start.
She worked as a photo model. In the studio, she was directed by the photographer and took pictures like a puppet. The results were terrible, and her photo card sales were always at the bottom.
She is like this...
"What should I do if I go to shoot for a fashion magazine?" Kamaike Sachiko thought of it and blurted out.
Asking such a question actually means that you already have an idea that you are willing to give it a try.
Although the man sitting next to her was a man who had already stated that he did not understand fashion, Kamai Sachiko wanted to know his thoughts rather than hearing advice from him.
Shinichi Iwahashi's understanding of fashion is from the book "MORE"... It is also said that his girlfriend Topo Shida is a famous fashionista.
It may be more intuitive to refer to your girlfriend than to refer to magazines.
Although when I met him, Akina Nakamori was never fashionable enough to turn heads 100% of the time.
But fashion probably means more than just "turning heads", and Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't think that Kamaike Sachiko is asking this question because she wants to hear him tell her how to wear it.
Shinichi Iwahashi considered his words and sentences, and Sachiko Kamaike looked at his thoughtful face.
He thought for a while, "Actually, shooting for fashion magazines is very similar to being the lead singer of a band. They are both about showing yourself. You might as well regard shooting for magazines as part of the stage."
"The stage can accommodate everything." Shinichi Iwahashi repeated his old saying, "In short, just be yourself."
Kamichi Sachiko raised her head and looked at him.
Shinichi Iwahashi felt that he was being looked at by her, but he just stared ahead, "Choose the clothes you want to wear, the style you like, and during the interview, say what you want to say."
At this point, he paused and said, "I think the so-called fashion means 'being yourself'... From this point of view, Sachiko-san is already very fashionable."
Sachiko Kamaike felt happy when she heard Shinichi Iwahashi praising her performance on stage.
"I'll try it," she said.
Iwahashi Shinichi glanced at her and saw that she was trying hard, so he comforted her: "Just relax a little. Give it a try, there is no need to be burdened. If you think you can't do it, I won't do it either."
I really need you to bite the bullet and carry on."
In this case, if it were told by others, Kamachi Sachiko might not believe it.
However, if Iwahashi Shinichi said this, she really believed that as long as she shouted stop, Iwahashi Shinichi would not let her do it anymore.
"yes."
Kamai Sachiko agreed, as if her burden was really relieved by his words, she breathed a sigh of relief.
…
The next day is Saturday, April 1st.
At the beginning of the new fiscal year, the consumption tax dust has settled, but the small merchants who gathered in Yoyogi Park to protest have not given up their fight and continue to raise signs.
On the other hand, Takeshita's cabinet, which introduced the consumption tax, was at the forefront of the controversy for accepting bribes from Likult Real Estate Company's stocks while promoting the consumption tax.
Along with the consumption tax, the fate of Noboru Takeshita, who was deeply involved in scandal, was also settled.
The Japanese people were complaining about the consumption tax. They took this opportunity to regard Takeshita's appearance in the cabinet as a good drama series, pushing the sales of magazines such as "Weekly Bunshun" to peaks again and again, just waiting for the last, the most beautiful one.
season finale.
But regardless of whether the Prime Minister is dismissed or not, and whether there is room for change in the consumption tax, what should continue will continue. If not, the Rikuruto Scandal serialized in the magazine would not have become the most popular TV series at the moment.
The more embarrassed the politicians who are usually sanctimonious are at the moment, the more interesting they are to the public.
The so-called contrast - nothing more than that.
At the beginning of the new fiscal year, the admission ceremony and the joining ceremony will also follow.
The promotion of consumption tax and the elimination of luxury goods tax have caused the price of imported goods to drop. Therefore, new people in society who are going to join the workforce this year have gone to buy all kinds of imported clothes to dress themselves up and look beautiful.
It happened to be a Saturday, and the entire bustling area of Tokyo was crowded with people. On the roof of the department store building, the Fujifilm "Quiap" billboard overlooked the dense and terrifying flow of people at the intersection.
Today, DREAMS E TRUE's commercial featuring the commercial song, shot by Momoko Kikuchi, started airing on TV.
…
"Look here and smile, don't be shy, Smile, Smile, Smile~"
The innocent and lovely Kikuchi Momoko appeared on the TV, smiling as she sang "Eyes to me", and then followed up with Quiap's advertising slogan.
The little girl is sitting at the low table, scribbling and drawing in her notebook.
The TV was on, but she didn't even look at it. There was a storage program for housewives, which she obviously didn't like. The aunt sitting next to her, on the other hand, was watching the host teach storage tips with relish.
It was clear at a glance that the six-fold living room they were in had storage skills that were both useful and useless.
In the middle of the program, an advertisement was inserted. The aunt held up the tea cup on the table and drank hot tea. A familiar yet unfamiliar singing voice came from the TV.
The little girl raised her head and saw Momoko Kikuchi smiling at the camera on the TV screen.
Although it’s a song I’ve never heard before, the voice sounds like Yoshida-san from DREAMS E TRUE!
As soon as she had this thought in her mind, the aunt picked up the remote control and changed the channel. The six-fold living room was immediately filled with the noisy voices of comedians.
The little girl didn't have time to retract her eyes, lingering on the TV screen for a while, making sure that the scene just now would not appear again, and then moved to the wall clock on the wall of the room.
If only I were at home, if only I was with my mother...
Her mother had to work, so she entrusted her to the care of a neighbor's aunt, and told her to listen to her words. She couldn't just cause trouble.
It's only three o'clock in the afternoon.
Mom has to get off work at ten o'clock and comes home at ten forty...
She pursed her lips.
"Huh?" The aunt glanced at her, "What's wrong?"
The little girl subconsciously shook her head vigorously. She shook her tears and said, "I really want to see my mother."
…
On rest days, on one side, the uplink lines to Tokyo are full, and people from surrounding satellite cities take advantage of the holidays to go to Beijing to have fun. On the other side, people living in Tokyo want to "escape" from Tokyo.
After the promulgation of the "Comprehensive Maintenance Area Preparation Act", large-scale construction projects have been carried out to build resorts and amusement parks across Japan. The newly built things have a sense of freshness, and people in Tokyo take advantage of their holidays to go to the surrounding areas for a happy vacation.
"...My second brother and sister-in-law are going to have a baby again."
On the expressway leaving Tokyo, Shinichi Iwahashi drove, listening to Akina Nakamori sitting next to him talking about things. The two of them did not leave Tokyo specifically for a new amusement park somewhere, but took advantage of today's vacation to spend time together.
Go out for a ride.
Even so, for two people who had never gone for a ride before, it would be better to say that this was more of a novelty.
"Yeah?"
"I found out when I went home two days ago. Heita-kun is my second brother's son. He still acts like a big kid. He told me that he is no longer a baby." Akina Nakamori thought it was interesting to think about it.
of.
"We are all going to be brothers after all."
"But now that I'm an older brother, am I no longer a baby?" Nakamori Akina's tone was quite childish, as if she was competing with a child.
Iwahashi Shinichi felt that Akina Nakamori was more interesting than Heita. He replied casually, "That being said, maybe in a few days, I will have to cry and say that I am still a child again."
"That's true." Nakamori Akina nodded and thought for a while, "When you become an older brother, you will feel very lonely when your parents and family members are all around the baby."
"right."
"It will be really lonely." She looked at Iwahashi Shinichi's profile and said seriously.
There is only one year between her younger sister Akiho Nakamori and Akina Nakamori. She has already wanted to be a "sister" even before she can remember, as if being humble and caring for her sister came with her birth.
Akina Nakamori has never experienced Heita's joy of becoming a brother or sister and welcoming the arrival of a new life. Seeing Heita like that made her feel fresh and interesting.
