The night before the Tokyo show, Iwahashi Shinichi had a meal with his sister, brother-in-law, and parents who came to Tokyo from their hometown in Shizuoka.
Masaaki Iwahashi was at an age when he could make a big difference in the workplace. In order to come to Tokyo, he took a leave of absence from the company. From this point of view, it finally gave his son, who was pretending to be a giraffe man, some face.
Although during dinner, he still used his ability to choke people seriously and said, "The face hidden under the hood can look like anything you imagine."
Everyone has come to support me, but he still doesn’t forgive me. This is Iwahashi Shoaki.
After Chiyo Iwahashi agreed to come to Tokyo to watch the concert, Shinichi Iwahashi was responsible for booking a hotel for his parents and arranging their food, clothing, housing and transportation for the next few days in Tokyo, and he was very comfortable.
When I went to Beijing, I was a young man who graduated from high school and didn't know what he was thinking. After that, he suddenly became an agent, then quit his job to open a production company and became a producer. In just a few years, he became a famous producer and record producer.
The person in charge of the company.
It seems that once a child leaves his parents and has a life of his own, he changes drastically and becomes a different person.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care about the cheap dad's way of speaking, and didn't take it to heart after hearing it. However, his mother, Iwahashi Chiyo, took over the words in a calm tone: "But it's different if you know who is under the hood.
Already."
After she finished speaking, she smiled and added: "Right?"
Listening to this leisurely and contented tone, Iwahashi Shoaki was praised in a leisurely manner. Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to laugh a little. He thought to himself, they are indeed an old couple. He raised his eyelids and looked at the person sitting opposite.
Sister Chaozi.
The two siblings exchanged glances. Chaozi picked up the water glass as if nothing had happened, as if it was none of his business.
On the other hand, brother-in-law Hiroyuki Narita agreed with a smile, "Indeed. If I didn't say anything, who would have thought that the person under the hood was him?"
Iwahashi Shoaki was convinced, "I was ordering box lunches for Morishin Ichi-san before, and suddenly he became the mascot of the band. I never expected that we would be together."
The father-in-law and son-in-law were having a lively chat, and Hiroyuki Narita casually joked about his brother-in-law, "That's why I say that Shinichi is very good at hiding things."
After Narita Hiroyuki said this, Chaozi looked at Iwahashi Shinichi.
This time, she saw a nonchalant face again - Iwahashi Shin had nothing to do with him. He exchanged glances with his sister, happily put the fried oyster into his mouth.
His expression was as innocent as a student whose relatives teased him about trivial matters at a family gathering.
Hiroyuki Narita's words were both a joke and a hint of sarcasm. However, it is not true that he was malicious.
Iwahashi Masaaki and Iwahashi Chiyo didn't know that their son was secretly dating a Topo Star without telling everyone.
Apparently, Shinichi Iwahashi told him the truth.
If this is the case, it means that he himself also knew that that step would have an impact on his career, so he deliberately revealed it to Hiroyuki Narita, who had a harmonious relationship with him and was working with him, so that Hiroyuki Narita could make his own choice.
After thinking about his brother-in-law's thoughts, Hiroyuki Narita really didn't know whether he was aboveboard or reckless.
"Brother-in-law Narita."
Shinichi Iwahashi chatted with Hiroyuki Narita, "In October, TV stations' programs and advertisements will be updated. I'm thinking about setting up a line with Fujifilm."
As if nothing had happened, he talked about official matters with Hiroyuki Narita. His brother-in-law wanted to test him, and Shinichi Iwahashi didn't mind taking the opportunity to test him back to see how his brother-in-law would continue to cooperate and contact him.
"What else do you have in mind?" Hiroyuki Narita was not uninterested.
There is no doubt about the talent of this self-made brother-in-law. Because of this, Narita Hiroyuki felt pity and anger for the step he took in a daze.
However, if you make a foolish move, it does not mean that it has completely lost its value.
On the contrary, when Hiroyuki Narita saw the advertisement for the planned album led by Shinichi Iwahashi, he was impressed by him again.
Being able to integrate half of the recording industry to cooperate with him is already strong enough, and he is even bold enough to cooperate with Akina Nakamori without avoiding suspicion.
This kind of Iwahashi Shinichi makes it impossible to guess how much ability he still has, nor what his next step will be, nor how he will react if one day he does not break up with Akina Nakamori, but is discovered instead.
Way.
I don’t know if he lost his mind as soon as he fell in love, or if he had some tricks up his sleeve.
When you can't guess, you can't act rashly.
Brother-in-law and brother-in-law, both of them remained calm and tested each other's attitudes at the family gathering.
Iwahashi Shinichi told Hiroyuki Narita, "I want to recommend our company's band ZARD to Fujifilm and work together."
Hiroyuki Narita asked, "Do you want it to be paired with the advertising theme song?"
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "It's natural to want to win an advertising theme song. However, there are other things..."
It seems very ambitious.
Hiroyuki Narita called this brother-in-law again to whet his appetite.
However, before the brother-in-law could deepen the topic, he was interrupted by his sister Chaozi, "Are you two going to start talking about business now?"
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and walked down the steps, "That's right." It's not appropriate to talk now.
Hiroyuki Narita also laughed, "I'm too impatient." He changed the topic and praised his brother-in-law, "But Shinichi's idea is worth being so impatient."
Not only did he praise Iwahashi Shinichi, but he also relieved himself.
Neither Iwahashi Masaaki nor Iwahashi Chiyo thought deeply about this conversation. Only Asako looked at her husband who was chatting and laughing with his father again, and then at his younger brother who had a good appetite and was in a good mood, eating happily, and then calmly said
Look back.
Next, a family dinner was enjoyed happily. After the meal, the affectionate driver first took Iwahashi Shoaki and Iwahashi Chiyo back to the hotel, and Narita Hiroyuki and Asako's wife also got into the taxi.
On the way back, Hiroyuki Narita praised Shinichi Iwahashi to Asako.
Chao Zi listened and asked knowingly, "So, you are curious about what Shen Yi plans to tell you?"
"Very curious."
Hiroyuki Narita smiled and made a pun.
…
The next day was a sunny day.
In the morning, Shinichi Iwahashi did whatever he had to do. Having a concert in Tokyo was such a benefit. It wasn't a business trip, it was just a part of the day's itinerary.
The Tokyo concert was held for two days, and the live recording was scheduled for the second day, which was the last show of the tour. Iwahashi Shinichi gave his parents and Nakamori Akina tickets, which were all tickets for the first day.
Of course, they are not right next to each other, and no one knows who will be there. This is the case with very large concerts.
Before going out in the morning, he found the two ties that Akina Nakamori gave him that were too fancy to tie, and took one of them.
The carefully selected tie can subtly match Miwa-chan's bizarre aesthetic stage costumes, and maybe even create a little spark. I wonder what that fashion queen girlfriend will think when she sees this scene.
At the same time, Shinichi Iwahashi was lucky enough to be able to enjoy the overly fashionable ties and weird aesthetic clothes. He didn't feel that this blessing was too heavy to pick up, so he happily folded the tie and took it with him.
Anyway, no one likes wearing a hood.
As long as no one knows who is under the hood, it doesn't matter how you dress.
As September enters, the days become shorter.
The concert started at five o'clock and opened at 3:30. But the stalls selling peripherals opened early, and there was a long line of people queuing up to buy things. The audience who came to see the performance wore the peripherals they bought and chatted in groups.
Touching the sky.
DREAMS COEM TRUE’s outdoor tour this time has so many peripherals that it can be confusing. But the design is beautiful enough and the workmanship is quite conscientious. Therefore, it has been very popular from the beginning of the tour. The concert tickets are sold out, and the tour is guaranteed to be smooth.
Losing money. The popularity of the surrounding products has also boosted the sales of records. These are the main sources of profit.
…
In the afternoon, Akina Nakamori left the recording studio and prepared to go to the concert.
There was a huge crowd in the Wangan Plaza area, and announcements reminding people that the performance was about to begin and the entrance precautions were played continuously. In such a lively scene, Akina Nakamori came alone, and she felt a little lonely.
The more lively it is, the less I want to be alone.
However, the person she wanted to be with the most at this time could not be by her side no matter what.
However, at this time, Shinichi Iwahashi must have been waiting in the lounge below the stage for the show to begin. He must not have changed into his costume for the performance, and he might be having a rough and tumble with Yoshida-san.
Wherever Yoshida-san is present, the atmosphere must be very good.
Being in a crowded place, Akina Nakamori seemed to be drifting with the tide, being pushed forward by the waves. She looked left and right and saw a couple wearing giraffe antlers on their heads, and a fox tail key chain hanging around her waist.
girl.
Of course, there are ordinary viewers like her.
When she came to watch an outdoor concert, Akina Nakamori was dressed as if she was on an outing. No one in the venue, who was focused on walking for DREAMS COME TRUE, paid much attention to this ordinary figure.
When she saw the circular stage, she couldn't help but smile. She remembered that she ran to Shinichi Iwahashi's office at night and accompanied him to make suggestions and design the stage.
It was like seeing with my own eyes what I imagined had become a reality. For a moment, Akina Nakamori thought that she was not just a concert audience, but also a concert participant.
Be it the stage, the peripherals worn by the audience, or even the performance sessions that may be seen later...
Also, Iwahashi Shinichi said he would wear the tie she gave him for the stage. I don’t know how he plans to wear it. Shinichi said that the stage costumes were designed by Yoshida-san, and he doesn’t know if they will fit or not, or whether they will embarrass him.
Before the performance started, Akina Nakamori was thinking about something and waiting for the show to start.
As the sun set, when the performance prompts that were constantly playing in the venue stopped, there was a slight commotion among the audience. The performance was about to begin.
First, the supporting musicians appeared, walked up from the center of the circular stage, bowed to the audience, and took their places. Each instrument had its own owner, and the only keyboard without an owner was particularly conspicuous.
It's Shinichi Iwahashi, no, he's from the band Giraffe Man.
Akina Nakamori was curious, wondering where the Giraffe Man would appear in the future. She had no experience in holding such a large-scale concert, and actually stood in the audience, but she didn't really like it that much.
In a super large concert, what is more important than the performance experience is the atmosphere. She can understand it, and can integrate into it, and enjoy the warm atmosphere. But she said she likes it, but she doesn't like it in her heart. Especially when she is standing alone.
under.
No one knew that she came for Shinichi Iwahashi, and only Shinichi Iwahashi knew that she came for him.
Thinking this way, it felt like two people who couldn't recognize each other shared a common secret and were working for the same thing. If I thought this way, Akina Nakamori's mood changed accordingly. She was no longer so lonely, but began to look forward to the start of the show.
The musicians on the stage began to play the prelude of "So happy! So happy! I love it so much!" and skillfully used the band's famous song to arouse the audience's emotions.
Akina Nakamori was in the restless auditorium. She couldn't help but feel inspired, and she also clapped her hands happily.
While clapping her hands, she looked at the stage.
She looked at the supporting musicians standing on the circular stage, and then she thought of something.
In order to make the stage more integrated, the supporting musicians also wore performance clothes designed by Miwa Yoshida, instead of the ordinary peripheral T-shirts worn by the staff.
The costumes are flashy and reminiscent of circus, acrobatic troupe and the like...such costumes.
However, because she was on such a lively and gorgeous stage, and the audience was so enthusiastic that when the musicians first stood on the stage, Nakamori Akina had not yet reacted.
Now, when she came back to her senses, she suddenly thought that Shinichi told her that the costumes for the entire performance were designed by Yoshida-san. So, it means that the clothes worn by these supporting musicians were also designed by Yoshida-san?
Shinichi also said that he wore costumes designed by Yoshida-san.
In other words, wait a minute, he will also appear on the stage wearing similar style clothing...
Nakamori Akina looked at the aesthetically stunning costumes of the supporting musicians, and flashed in her mind that Shinichi Iwahashi told her that he planned to wear the tie she gave her to the stage.
It turns out that two of the ties she gave to Shen Yi were so inappropriate?
Akina Nakamori was endlessly confused amidst the applause of the audience.
As she was walking, suddenly, at the end of the long flower path that seemed to run through the entire Wangan Plaza, warm cheers rang out, waking her up from her sleep, and she looked around.
Nakamori Akina was in the best position to have a clear view of the main stage, but the view at the end of the flower path was not good. Not long after curiosity arose, there was another burst of warm cheers from the other end of the flower path.
The cheers from both sides moved from the end of the flower path to the center, rolling in like waves.
On one side is Masato Nakamura, on the other side...
The giraffe man carries a keyboard synthesizer on his shoulder and joins the accompaniment band's performance gently and deftly. He shakes his head left and right and scans the audience.
Sure enough, he was also wearing fancy stage costumes, like those of a circus performer.
The giraffe man is getting closer and closer to the center stage, and Akina Nakamori can see it more and more clearly.
The tie he was wearing was undoubtedly a gift from her.
