"This Mr. Xiong was sewn on by my mother with help."
Utada Hikaru lowered his head and pointed to the cartoon bear embroidery on the front of the dress for Shinichi Iwahashi to see. Under the cartoon bear, her name "Hikaru" was embroidered in red thread.
Although Keiko Fuji's needlework is not very good at first glance, her clumsy craftsmanship does not prevent her daughter from showing off to him.
Sakamoto Fuyumi entered the recording studio again, and Utada Terumi continued to discuss the recording with her. Iwahashi Shinichi was also idle and helped to coax the children.
Fuyumi Sakamoto took advantage of her child? It’s outrageous.
Iwahashi Shinichi stopped by to help comfort the children? Iwahashi-san is such a nice person.
"Does Xiaoguang like bears?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked.
Utada Hikaru nodded seriously and explained to him, "My favorite is Mr. Xiong." She has been going to the recording studio with her parents since she was a child, and is used to seeing people coming and going. This kind of growth experience makes her not afraid of life at all.
"I see." Iwahashi Shin nodded.
Utada Hikaru looked at him, followed his example, and nodded.
"..." Iwahashi Shin was speechless at first, not knowing what to say.
Although he doesn't hate children, he doesn't have much experience in playing with them -
When he was hesitating about what to do next, Utada Hikaru looked at him quietly, with a pair of bulging eyes that looked quite precocious. It was not like a child waiting for adults to coax him to play, but like he was cooperating in reverse.
Iwahashi Shinichi.
Even if no one is playing with her, she can still have fun with herself.
Utada Hikaru thought precociously in his heart that Shinichi Iwahashi didn't need to care about her, as long as he didn't blame her for causing trouble in the recording studio.
But on the other hand, the childish side made her have some expectations for Iwahashi Shin's area.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while, then picked up an unused sheet of music on the table, recalled the origami polar bear technique taught by Akina Nakamori, and started to do it.
Utada Hikari watched his nimble fingers flip up and down, and a piece of ordinary white paper kept changing in his hand and gradually took shape.
Eh--
She blinked, looked at Shinichi Iwahashi who was focusing on origami, and then looked at the origami in his hand.
A good girlfriend is like this, she can let you learn skills from her that will come in handy before you know when.
Shinichi Iwahashi folded the polar bear, took a pen and painted its facial features, drew a bow on its neck, and showed it to Utada Hikaru, "How do you think?"
"So cute!"
Utada Hikari came over and was surprised by his origami skills, "Iwahashi-san is so amazing." She blinked and looked at the bear in Shinichi Iwahashi's hand.
"How about giving it to you?" Shin Iwahashi handed over an origami polar bear.
She was not polite at all, and took it generously, "Thank you, Iwahashi-san!" She accepted the origami, thought about it, ran to get her school bag, and pulled out a sticker book.
.
When she opened it, she found that it was filled with stickers she had collected. There were dresses, football jerseys, baseball bats... all kinds of sticker paintings.
Utada Hikaru discussed with him, "Which one do Iwahashi-san like? I'll give it to you."
"Give it to me?" Shinichi Iwahashi looked at the pile of stickers and felt a little confused.
I wanted to say that I didn't want it, but seeing how the little girl sincerely wanted to give him a gift as a thank you, I couldn't say no.
I had no choice but to choose carefully, "Which one do you want..."
"That's right!" Utada Hikaru thought for a moment and pointed to two of the dresses and a cartoon bear sticker, "These two are my favorites, so I can't give them to Iwahashi-san."
Even if you don't say it, you won't want the dress.
"Really? Then I will choose..." Shinichi Iwahashi browsed carefully, "I want this football."
Utada Hikaru took off the football sticker, but he asked, "Where should I put it?"
Shinichi Iwahashi took out his itinerary and opened it from the back. As if it was a big deal, she carefully pasted the football stickers on his itinerary.
"Thank you, Xiaoguang." he said.
Utada Hikaru rolled his eyes and expressed curiosity, "Is Iwahashi-san good at origami?"
"well enough."
"Can you fold anything?"
"Of course that's impossible."
How many kinds of origami he knows depends on how many kinds of origami Nakamori Akina knows.
Next, Iwahashi Shinichi used the unused music score on the table to make kittens, penguins, and giraffes for Utada Hikaru one after another.
Utada Hikaru was deeply attracted by his superb origami skills. Not only that, every time he accepted a new origami paper, he would open the sticker album and ask Iwahashi Shinichi to choose a gift in return.
So, at the back of his itinerary, in addition to football, there were football jerseys and the Hercules Cup.
On the other side, Utada Terumi and Sakamoto Fuyumi were recording seriously. On the other side, Iwahashi Shinichi quickly closed the distance with Utada Hikaru by relying on origami.
After one round of recording ended, Sakamoto Fuyumi came out of the studio, and when Utada Terumi went to ask Iwahashi Shinichi to listen to the recording results, two people, one large and one small, were having fun around some origami paper.
Utada Terumi looked on in disbelief - he didn't expect Shinichi Iwahashi to get along with his daughter so easily.
"Dad, Iwahashi-san gave me origami paper!"
Utada Hikaru was happy and showed off to Utada Terumi.
There were exquisite origami papers on the table. Except for the polar bear, which was colored by Shinichi Iwahashi, the other animals were colored by Utada Hikaru himself. She also took out a small box of crayons from her schoolbag.
Iwahashi Shinichi was quite curious about her treasure chest-like schoolbag - she didn't know how many gadgets it contained.
Fuyumi Sakamoto came over and saw the origami on the table with an incredulous expression, "Did they all be originated by Iwahashi-san?"
"That's right!" Utada Hikaru answered on his behalf, "Iwahashi-san is amazing, right? Fuyumi-chan."
Not long after we first met, we became "Fuyumi-chan", which shows that Sakamoto Fuyumi's affinity is probably maxed out.
Sakamoto Fuyumi didn't know that he had this skill, and Iwahashi Shinichi received another round of praise for him. At this moment, he was going to listen to the recording just now, but Utada Hikari was still a little reluctant to leave.
However, she knew in her heart when to act coquettishly and when not to be willful. She stayed here alone, playing with the origami that Shinichi Iwahashi folded for her just now.
Although I can also have fun with myself...
But that Iwahashi-san is so nice. It would be great if I could play with Iwahashi-san every time I come to the recording studio with my father.
Utada Hikaru played origami for a while, then raised his head to look at Utada Terumi and Iwahashi Shinichi who were talking at the console over there, and Sakamoto Fuyumi who was interjecting from time to time.
Then, he lowered his head and focused on his own game world.
…
"Singing idol songs is really boring."
Fuyumi Sakamoto caught Iwahashi Shinichi and couldn't help complaining to him.
Iwahashi Shinichi told her in turn, "Sakamoto-san needs to relax a little more to be more suitable. It's too tight now. Idol songs need to be more relaxed. It doesn't have to be like enka, where you sing as if you have a ball on your head."
A glass filled with water."
"A glass full of water on your head?"
After hearing this metaphor, Sakamoto Fuyumi was stunned for a moment and showed a helpless smile.
In my mind, Iwahashi Shinichi's ability to make strange metaphors is probably comparable to her friend Manami Fujimura who said, "Enka singers take their stage names like nightclub hostesses."
"However, I will only talk about this here." Iwahashi Shinichi smiled.
It would be rude to say this to other big names in enka. Of course, in private, people in the industry create countless jokes every day that ridicule colleagues and non-actors.
"Come to think of it, which idol do you want me to collaborate with, Iwahashi-san?" Sakamoto Fuyumi was curious.
Iwahashi Shinichi did not give any accurate information, "We are still negotiating, and Sakamoto-san will know about it later. And not one person, but two people."
"Both of you?" She opened her eyes wide.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "I want to imitate Candies' combination mode. How about it?"
"Candies?"
Sakamoto Fuyumi laughed at herself in a serious tone, "I thought it was PINK LADY."
"Ha ha!"
Saying this sentence made both Iwahashi Shinichi and Utada Terumi laugh. Iwahashi Shinichi said unhurriedly, "Anyway, I haven't decided yet. If Sakamoto-san thinks about it, PINK LADY 2.0 will not have no chance."
."
"Let's forget it." Sakamoto Fuyumi shook her head repeatedly, not having the confidence.
"Although I often sing PINK LADY songs in the karaoke box with Manami-chan... Fujimura-san, who also wants to participate in your project."
"Yeah?"
When Iwahashi Shinichi heard her mention it, he recalled it and remembered the appearance of the beautiful witch who had only met him once.
"but,"
Sakamoto Fuyumi's words brought him back, "Singing in karaoke is different from singing on stage."
Since her debut, she has been asked by her record company to lose weight because her figure is slightly chubby. In order to lose weight quickly, she even chooses to go hungry. As such, she still does not have the confidence to dance on stage like PINK LADY.
To a certain extent, Sakamoto Fuyumi was somewhat relieved when she heard that it was imitating Candies.
…
It’s unknown where Keiko Fuji is at this moment, but after the recording ended, Terumi Utada got off work early and took her daughter to go ahead.
Utada Hikari picked up her treasure chest-like schoolbag and waved goodbye to Iwahashi Shinichi and Sakamoto Fuyumi.
After getting off work on time, the father and daughter left. Iwahashi Shinichi asked Sakamoto Fuyumi if she wanted to have a casual meal together.
The brother and sister who are both carrying bags have known each other since they were part-time drivers. This kind of friendship makes the two of them feel more comfortable when getting along. Although they don't have many contacts, they have a subtle feeling of being old friends for many years.
This is also related to Sakamoto Fuyumi's gentle and soft personality.
"I didn't expect that Iwahashi-san is also a master of origami." Sakamoto Fuyumi's compliment was late but arrived.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and told the truth in front of her, "Actually, I only know a few things. If I play with Xiaoguang for a while longer, I will show my timidity."
Sakamoto Fuyumi smiled when she heard what he said, "Hikaru is cute, isn't she?"
"She is very cute. She is smart and clever."
However, he doesn't have the cleverness of a precocious "little adult", he is just a child who is smart and clever among his peers.
With such a child, it's hard not to like her when you play with her.
"Hikari is about the same age as Manami-chan's daughter Eriko." Fuyumi Sakamoto told Shinichi Iwahashi about Manami Fujimura, "I often play with Eriko."
Thanks to Eriko, I have accumulated some experience in playing happily with children.
"Sakamoto-san is so kind to children." Iwahashi Shinichi said sincerely.
Sakamoto Fuyumi seemed particularly happy to praise her for being liked by children, "I like children very much." She changed the subject, "However, Iwahashi-san is so patient with children, which is quite impressive."
"I will definitely be a good dad from now on." Fuyumi Sakamoto joked at him.
Shin Iwahashi shook his head unconsciously, not knowing how to answer the conversation. He casually brought the topic back to Manami Fujimura, "Fujimura-san's daughter is also in Tokyo with her."
"Otherwise, there would be nowhere to go." Fuyumi Sakamoto said.
To a certain extent, if it hadn't been for losing a foothold in Akita, Fujimura Manami might not have come to Tokyo. - Of course, Sakamoto Fuyumi only thought about it in her heart and would not say it out loud.
The two of them chatted while eating. Fuyumi Sakamoto talked about the latest news in the entertainment industry, and Shinichi Iwahashi talked about the trends in the pop music industry. However, the topics during the dinner went around and around, and most of them were focused on this cooperation project.
Fuyumi Sakamoto's curiosity is also not shallow. Although she was a rising star in the entertainment industry when she was on stage, now she is like a clerk who loves gossip, asking Shinichi Iwahashi about other groups in the project.
"It's amazing, even Akina-san can be invited." She was quite surprised.
Iwahashi Shin remained calm and accepted the admiration from Sakamoto Fuyumi. Subconsciously, he thought of the way that paper tiger came home after the business meeting and bared his teeth.
He had to ask Akina-san to do it, but it took a lot of effort on his part.
After talking about Nakamori Akina, she was curious about BOLAN, who collaborated with Fujimura Manami, and wanted to know how Iwahashi Shinichi planned to arrange for her extended family and friends.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi was too tight-lipped and refused to tell her. Fuyumi Sakamoto couldn't find her way to the end, so she could only suppress her curiosity.
Later in the dinner, she became curious again about what he planned to do with Teresa Dunsant.
After all, Shinichi Iwahashi used her to find Mr. Koaki Inomata for help in setting up connections. It was precisely because of this help that Fuyumi Sakamoto got herself involved.
"People like Theresa-san feel that they can sing with ease no matter what they sing." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "So, I am going to invite her to try something new, Okinawa-style rock music."
Among the Okinawan bands that came out of Band Paradise, the most popular one is of course BEGIN. Watanabe Manyumi took advantage of the east wind to sign Kariyushi, and she also made a fortune by taking advantage of the Okinawan style brought by BEGIN.
Because of this gust of wind, some talent scouts went to Okinawa to look around, hoping to find some more Okinawa-style singers to come back——
I don’t know if they have successfully recruited people, but in the current music scene, the most famous Okinawa style is these two bands that came out of the same talent show.
It is more convenient for people to use it by themselves. No matter which one of these two bands is requisitioned, it is much easier to talk about.
