"I really wanted a speaker of my own, but my mother didn't agree to buy it. At that time, a popular shojo manga was recruiting for image girls, and the winning prize was a speaker, so I secretly signed up without telling my family."
"My tutor is very strict!" Yui Asaka said in a long voice. In order to match this sentence, she even wrinkled her face and made a grimace.
With this appearance, coupled with the small stature of 1.5 meters, he looks like a primary school student.
After one round of recording today, Iwahashi Shinichi praised Sakamoto Fuyumi for being in good condition. In a few words, the credit fell to Asaka Yui who generously shared her experience in playing idol.
While taking a break, Asaka Wei opened her chatterbox and chatted endlessly about her opportunities to enter the industry.
"Let's just say the name Asaka Yui. Didn't Iwahashi-san find it strange when you read it?" Asaka Yui complained to herself.
It's okay if she didn't say it. Once she said it, Iwahashi Shinichi recited it twice in his mind and couldn't help laughing.
Asaka Yui's name is pronounced "Asaka-Yui". In Japanese, itch is pronounced "Kayui" and morning is pronounced "Asa". Therefore, if Asaka Yui's name is pronounced "Asa-Kayui", it means "morning".
Itchy (body)”.
This homophone is okay, a name similar to "Du Ziteng".
She complained about her stage name - yes, her real name is Aki Kawasaki, which shows that when she debuted, she really wasn't too concerned about being an idol.
"This is actually the name of the heroine of the shoujo manga that I participated in the selection." Yui Asaka explained.
After explaining it clearly, I told him a little optimistically, "So, I am a manga heroine who debuted as an idol!"
Yui Asaka was born in the countryside of Miyazaki Prefecture. When she first came to Tokyo, she couldn't even speak standard English and spoke Miyazaki dialect. After the program she participated in was broadcast, she received a lot of bad reviews. She was scolded by the Tokyo audience as a rude country person.
Girl.
Afterwards, the office sent a specialist to correct her pronunciation and grammar bit by bit, and taught her to speak Tokyo dialect.
This girl who had no idea about becoming an idol at first and accidentally stumbled into the entertainment industry. In addition to curiosity, she may also have a rebellious mentality towards her family. Asaka Yui's tutoring was very strict. When the talent scout came to visit, the whole family unanimously opposed it.
She entered the industry, which made her join without any hesitation.
Just like that, from a rough country girl in Miyazaki, she gradually became a front-line idol.
Playing the role of a "comic heroine idol", she naturally has her own knack for showing off her idol qualities.
"When we were discussing cooperation before, your firm also mentioned that Asaka-san has made a transition to producing rock-flavored music." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Asaka Yui smiled and said, "Iwahashi-san just calls me by my name." She said, "I'm so embarrassed when you use honorifics."
"Really?" Iwahashi Shin nodded, indicating that he understood.
"I want to sing some rock music..." She thought for a while, "Just like Zard-san."
Asaka Yui looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, her big eyes blinking, "I'm very happy to receive an invitation from Zard-san as a producer, and the song I sing is provided by Zard-san."
"Thank you." Iwahashi Shinichi said politely.
The idol market is shrinking, and conscious idols are all making their own plans. When she entered the industry, Asaka Wei never thought about becoming an idol, but she has been engaged in this industry since she was a little girl. Now it is impossible for her to go back home and become a fandom.
Get married and become a housewife.
If you want to transform and get rid of the label of idol, you must make plans early.
For a young and accomplished producer like Iwahashi Shinichi, it is easy to get close to him and the rewards are high. When the agency accepted this cooperation, Asaka Yui thought in her mind that she would take this opportunity to make a good deal with him.
relation.
"Yoko-chan and I debuted as singers in the same year and month," she told Iwahashi Shinichi, chatting enthusiastically, "I debuted two days earlier than Yoko-chan, but Yoko-chan became famous earlier."
She was carefree and said whatever came to her mind. As she spoke, she looked over at Minano Yoko as if seeking approval.
"Ah." Asaka Yui was stunned for a moment and lowered her voice, "Yoko-chan is asleep."
Minamino Yoko was dozing off with her elbow propped up on one side. Seeing her sleeping, Iwahashi Shinichi remained silent. As a result, the room became quiet and she woke up.
Minano Yoko blinked her sore eyes and smiled apologetically.
From the looks of it, I'm probably overloaded with work again.
"We were just talking about the fact that there is only two days between Yoko-chan and me to debut as singers." Asaka said as if nothing happened, as if she didn't see her embarrassment.
"Yeah." Minano Yoko smiled, "I later acted in the same series of TV series."
"We are still making the same song together now!" Asaka Yui said energetically, "So, we are quite destined!"
This "fate" is quite careless.
But no matter what, with the carefree Asaka Yui enlivening the atmosphere, the matter of Minamino Yoko taking a nap was forgotten. From teaching Sakamoto Fuyumi how to be an idol, to interrupting Minano Yoko, this heartless little man
Idols are not really stupid. But they are not evil either.
The break is over and the recording continues.
…
On the 13th, Akina Nakamori celebrates her birthday.
Early in the morning, before going out, she made a phone call to Chieko.
When the call was dialed, Nakamori Akina just called "Mother", and first heard Chieko's enthusiastic voice on the other end: "Happy birthday! Akina-chan!"
Just listening to the voice, I felt that Chieko's physical condition and mood were good.
"Mother!" Nakamori Akina happily thanked her, "Thank you for giving birth to me twenty-four years ago!"
Chieko smiled heartily, "Yes, in the blink of an eye, twenty-four years have passed. At that time, Akina-chan was still a small, soft baby."
"When I was Akina-chan's age, your eldest brother and eldest sister were already born." Chieko sighed.
Of the six children in the Nakamori family, only two, Akina and Akiho, are not married yet. One is a big star, and the other is said to be still an entertainer, but I don’t know what they are doing, but they often look for them because they don’t have enough money.
Father stretched out his hand.
Akio Nakamori didn't have a very good personality, but he had nothing to do with his little daughter, Akiho, and often helped her. However, since the father always took money from his other daughter, it would be better to say that Akina Nakamori helped her sister indirectly.
Akina Nakamori couldn't get along with her sister so much and wanted to prove that "she is herself". However, from the beginning to the end, from her debut to the current silence, she has never been able to get rid of this sister.
"I was twenty-eight years old when Akina-chan was born."
Chieko half-joked, "When you are twenty-eight, you might also become a mother."
"Mother~" Akina Nakamori acted coquettishly with her.
On my birthday, I talked with my mother about the topic of childbirth. It seemed to be a natural thing.
Anyway, it was her mother on the other end of the phone, so she didn't mind saying stupid things without being ashamed, "There are still four years until I turn twenty-eight. That's a long time."
Chieko laughed after hearing this. After laughing, she asked her, "What are your plans for today?"
"It's all work." Nakamori Akina replied.
The work schedule was full that day, from morning to night. From morning to night, it was not only work, but also continuous blessings received from the on-site staff.
At night, I even connected with "THE BEST TEN" during my break from work.
As soon as July entered, the production team of "THE BEST TEN" began to receive calls and letters from her fans, expressing their hope to see Akina-chan appear on the show on the 13th.
When she debuted, the show was at its peak, and it was a stage that idols dreamed of appearing on. As an idol singer with explosive popularity, she was a regular on the show, and was the singer who won the most championships since the show started.
It just so happened that this year, on her birthday, there was a live show.
Her fans intended to send her to a show on her birthday to gather popularity. Although the previous singles were released for a while, their stamina was getting smaller and smaller, but they could not stand up to the point counting method of "THE BEST TEN".
There are many channels that do not smell like copper.
So, through phone calls, postcards, and on-demand music, a multi-pronged approach finally sent her old song to No. 9 on the list this week.
In addition, there are a large number of birthday greeting postcards written to her and sent to the production team of "THE BEST TEN".
"THE BEST TEN" currently has poor ratings. Whenever the TV station reorganizes its programs, it is always included in the queue to be cut in half, so it actively works hard to improve its ratings.
Now, I was unwilling to let go of this opportunity to create a topic and make the audience happy, so I actively contacted Nakamori Akina, hoping to arrange for her to appear on the day. However, because it happened that she couldn't be there, and after repeated negotiations, in the end I could only arrange for her to appear on the spot.
Performances are performed online.
Akina Nakamori was in Yokohama, and after prior consultation, she took 20 minutes between work. As soon as the connection ended, she returned to the studio and continued her work.
Just like that, when the job was over, the staff on site prepared a simple birthday celebration for her.
She was exhausted, and her ears were filled with "Happy Birthday" blessings. Even so, when surrounded by the bustle and listening to birthday wishes, Nakamori Akina was still happy.
It seems like there is endless energy.
Of course, she didn't really have endless energy. When the work was over and she got into the car back to Tokyo, she was exhausted and huddled into her seat.
"Ha~" she sighed softly.
After a long day of work, I calmed down, and the noise that had just occupied my brain was taken away, and I suddenly felt empty. Sitting in the car on the way back, Akina Nakamori rested, with the blessings she heard throughout the day echoing in her mind.
.
Morning phone call with mother.
"Congratulations on turning 24!" from the staff.
There were also various congratulatory postcards from fans that host Tetsuko Kuroyanagi read to her during the "THE BEST TEN" broadcast.
Entering a new year, and then heading towards the age of twenty-five.
In addition, Shinichi Iwahashi called her last night and told her to pick up the package sent to her after returning home.
I spent my birthday last year while participating in the recording of a program. It was on that day that I received an origami kitten from Shinichi Iwahashi, and I learned the identity of the Giraffe Man and his other side.
Thinking of what happened at that time, Akina Nakamori felt unspeakable tenderness in her heart.
It was because of the origami kitten that there were new possibilities between them. This new possibility pushed her forward step by step.
Nakamori Akina was thinking about it, and on a whim, she tore up a piece of paper, folded it over and over, and folded it into a kitten. She has evolved into an origami master, and now it is almost no difficulty to fold this kitten.
However, if it weren't for the origami kitten, she wouldn't want to learn origami.
…
When she got home, Nakamori Akina didn't forget. She walked into the building, went to the management room first, and picked up a package.
The boxy package was neither big nor heavy, and she didn't know what was inside. She only knew that it was a birthday gift sent to her by Shinichi Iwahashi.
Akina Nakamori was so excited when she got the package that she couldn't wait to go home and open it to see what he had sent.
After entering the door, after changing clothes, she went to find scissors.
The package was opened, and inside was a small photo album. When she opened it, the first photo was an embarrassing photo of her.
Akina Nakamori opened her eyes wide.
Scroll further down, and there is a photo of her eating with gusto in the apartment before she moved. The next photo shows her puffing up her cheeks in anger...
Photos taken with that disposable camera!
As she watched, memories revived in her mind, recalling the scene at that time.
Further down, I saw a photo of Shinichi Iwahashi smiling. This was taken by her. Akina Nakamori picked up the photo and felt happy. As expected of her, the photo taken of Shinichi Iwahashi is handsome and good-looking.
Not like this annoying guy who is just waiting to take photos of her making a fool of herself!
Except for this photo of Shinichi Iwahashi, the others are all hers. There are all kinds of photos, and most of them are snapshots. After flipping through a few photos, the background changed to the apartment she lives in now, and there is also Iwahashi.
The background of Qiao Shen's family.
That disposable camera unknowingly recorded many memories, and seemed to also record the progress of the relationship between the two people.
Akina Nakamori read it with gusto, until she turned to the last page, and her face felt warm.
It was a photo taken of two people wearing yukata, having a rough time. The last photo of the disposable camera was also the only photo of the two of them together.
In that photo, Nakamori Akina was nestled in his arms, turned her head, her lips were close to the corner of his mouth, and a little of the tip of her tongue was exposed.
They had just had a fight, both of them were disheveled, and she herself even had pink cheeks. On the other hand, Iwahashi Shinichi looked like he had been unexpectedly attacked suddenly.
Even though he knew that he had taken such a photo by chance, he had imagined the situation in the photo. However, after it was actually developed and he saw the two intimate people in the photo and himself who was forgetful, Nakamori Akina still felt ashamed.
How did you take such a photo?!
Akina Nakamori in the photo is charming and charming, and even she herself can feel the exposed emotions.
She looked coquettish in the photo, and then looked at Shinichi Iwahashi who looked confused as to what was going on. For some reason, she felt funny and angry. She felt unfair for some reason.
But after a while of dissatisfaction passed, she suddenly realized something and started to think of something.
