"I'm going to visit Yashiro-san and some of the Doricum people."
After Matsuda Seiko carefully put on her makeup, she announced this. Her manager Shimane, who followed her, didn't hesitate and went to prepare for her.
The atmosphere backstage was delicate. The TV station staff were polite to Seiko Matsuda, and the other singers who performed together had been warned by their managers in advance to stay away from this big idol who was in deep trouble.
Matsuda Seiko didn't take it seriously at all and acted coquettishly when facing the staff in charge of her.
This attitude made the TV station staff dare not look down upon him.
Today, Seiko Matsuda's opportunity to appear in "Night Recording Studio" came about because she was bound to DREAMS COME TRUE. Both she and Shimane knew this very well.
For this reason, Matsuda Seiko said he would visit the pair, and Shimane didn't hesitate.
Ordinarily, DREAMS COME TRUE is the junior, and it is not the senior's turn to visit them. However, since Yashiro Aki is also present, it is not out of the ordinary to do this.
Shimane couldn't guess what Matsuda Seiko was thinking, and he always had her give orders.
As soon as he entered the lounge, Matsuda Seiko smiled brightly and said, "Yashiro-san, long-lost greetings."
Senior Aki Yashiro, the two of them have shared the stage many times in the past. Although they are not friends, they have seniority——
seniority in the family.
The three members of the junior group DREAMS COME TRUE immediately greeted the female idol who came to her door, "Matsuda-san."
"Hello!"
Matsuda Seiko was amiable, his eyes fell on the giraffe man wearing a hood, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "KIRIN-kun, are you dressed up now?"
She was like a naughty child who got excited when she saw a clerk in a doll costume handing out flyers in a shopping mall.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "Yes."
No one likes wearing a hood. It makes it much easier to deal with it without seeing the expression.
Although it was his first time to meet Seiko Matsuda, he was quite familiar with this top idol. Not only that, not long ago, he had just talked to Sakai Masatoshi about her independence this time.
When it comes to disobedient idols, Matsuda Seiko is more worthy of the name. Minamino Yoko can only be said to be forced and helpless. As long as Tokura Jun is a person, she will not break up with the agency.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Matsuda Seiko never had any friendship, and there was no goodwill toward her, nor any ill feelings toward her.
If she hadn't pulled Minamino Yoko to support him and indirectly manipulated him, he wouldn't have reached this stage. He was just learning from her, treating others in their own way, and also teasing her in a small way.
Together, he could pull her out to attract the fire, and then escape unscathed.
"So cute." Seiko Matsuda praised.
Shinichi Iwahashi said politely under his hood, "Thank you."
However, she changed her topic and became a little curious, "Will it be hard to wear this?" As she spoke, she blinked her innocent but charming eyes, with an innocent expression, not like she had a daughter who was several years old.
Mother.
Only when I met a real person did I realize that the name "Mom Idol" is well-deserved.
Yashiro Aki was watching Matsuda Seiko's every move, thinking to himself, "He is good at pretending to be pure and innocent in front of men." This fact has not changed at all.
In fact, in this situation where she comes to express her gratitude without being able to express her gratitude to her juniors for bringing her on the show, showing interest and goodwill toward the band's mascot is the most appropriate way to get along with her.
However, it is not true that he is not interested in this faceless giraffe man. On the contrary, the more closely a person hides his face, the more he wants people to take off his mask and see his true face.
.
Seiko Matsuda is a fine person.
This giraffe man, who doesn't show his face in the lounge, is the band's leader and producer. The band's external central figure is Yoshida Miwa, but internally, the absolute center is this mysterious man.
How can a person who can be a producer for such a band be such a simple person?
I thought the giraffe man was just a stage setting, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't even take off his headgear in the lounge.
Is it necessary to work so hard? Or is it a face that is not convenient for outsiders to see?
"I really wonder what kind of face is underneath the hood."
After visiting the band and Yashiro Aki, Matsuda Seiko came out of their lounge and talked to Shimane, but it seemed like he was talking to himself.
"Shimane-san, aren't you curious?" She turned her head and asked as if she wanted to drag Shimane into the water.
Shimane shook his head, "Since you don't show your face, there's a reason why you don't show your face."
"Principles are principles, curiosity is curiosity, they are not the same thing." Seiko Matsuda said plausibly.
Shimane listened and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This top idol was thinking very fast, "If you ask Kawamura-san or Ishida-san, I wonder if they have ever seen Giraffe-kun."
"We are not the same production department as Dolicom." Shimane reminded.
Seiko Matsuda nodded, "That's right."
Seeing her look like this, Shimane felt nervous. She was indeed a Seiko-san. At this time, she was still curious about the true face of the mascot of a band.
If you know it, what can you do?
…
This episode of "Night in the Studio" starring DREAMS COME TRUE and Yashiro Aki was broadcast. After the broadcast, the ratings were the highest for this program in the past three months. After the program was broadcast, there was an influx of viewers who called the TV station.
Many people expressed shock at this collaboration stage.
The two singing demons are on stage, half cooperation and half competition, and together they are a 100% enjoyment.
If you could go see a performance like this live, you would definitely be shocked.
As the most popular and anticipated group in this program, when DREAMS COME TRUE and Yashiro Aki performed, the stage they built was not only the most luxurious in the current program, but also the most luxurious in recent months.
In addition, as a buy-one-get-one-free gift, Seiko Matsuda’s performance stage is also quite luxurious.
However, while the band and Yashiro Aki's stage was paid for by the TV station, Matsuda Seiko's stage was sponsored by the company to support her long-awaited appearance.
As someone who has reached the pinnacle of idol status, Matsuda Seiko’s professional skills are unquestionable. A good horse with a good saddle, a good performance with a good stage, and he presented a high-quality performance that was not affected by the recent negative news at all.
However, after the show was aired, the negative comments about her increased instead of abating.
First, in the entertainment section of the newspaper, it was written, "After Seiko's TV performance, negative reviews from the audience rushed into the TV station." The report said that after the show was broadcast, some viewers called the TV station and asked why Matsuda Seiko was allowed to be on the show.
.
"She looks so proud, it's annoying!"
Such voices appeared after Seiko Matsuda appeared on television.
Newspapers immediately reported the criticism of Matsuda Seiko, and it was naturally inseparable from the Music Association's handwriting. And if Sony wants to withstand the pressure of the Music Association and let Matsuda Seiko break through the encirclement, it must be prepared to be counterattacked by the Music Association.
.
Although Sony fulfilled its wish to put Matsuda Seiko on TV and won a temporary victory. However, the press release purchased in advance for Matsuda Seiko's long-lost TV performance was easily overshadowed by the negative reviews after the program was aired.
The reason for this is that during this period of time, there have been too many negative news about Matsuda Seiko, which has made the public hate her. The image of a "evil woman" is deeply rooted in the heart and is difficult to reverse.
Most of the industry unanimously said that a person is a "bad guy" and it is very difficult to make a comeback.
…
On the one hand, there are the gossipy essays that are constantly published in newspapers and magazines. On the other hand, reporters from weekly magazines appear around Matsuda Seiko almost all the time, waiting to take pictures of her making a fool of herself.
Naturally, it would be best if you can take precious photos of someone going out to meet your affair partner in the limelight and showing your true feelings.
Apart from that, you can film her losing her temper and yelling, going to a nightclub to stay up all night...anything is fine. When you want to follow a scandal, anything inappropriate can be magnified into the pages of a weekly magazine.
At this moment, Seiko Matsuda is like a prey being hunted. Even she who has always gone her own way has to be careful now to avoid getting dirty things again.
Under such circumstances, Kawamura and Sony behind him are not optimistic about breaking through the blockade of the Music Association. However, if she is really surrounded and silenced by the Music Association, Sony's performance in Japan Entertainment
The world lost a lot.
As a result, record companies can only bite the bullet and fight to the end.
But in Kawamura's heart, he was still thinking about Ishida's casual drunken remark when he and Ishida were drinking, "Did Matsuda do it on purpose?"
Did she leave a way out for herself?
Leaving no escape route, making one wrong move and losing everything is not Seiko Matsuda's style.
Kawamura felt uncomfortable with such a suspicion in his mind. Being a man in black and being led by the product would be a disgrace.
This unhappiness reached an unprecedented climax when I was on the phone with Seiko Matsuda - she was being harassed by reporters and simply stayed at home - and heard her talk about going to the United States.
Working hard every day for Seiko Matsuda has left Kawamura physically and mentally exhausted.
Now, as soon as he suspected that she might have planned it long ago, this idea came to mind, which made Kawamura feel uncomfortable. On the one hand, he felt unhappy that he might be tricked by Seiko Matsuda.
On the other side, there are a little darker thoughts.
If the responsibility is shifted to Seiko Matsuda, then Sony will be able to handle things better, right?
…
After all, he is a top idol, and his every move affects the industry.
Previously, when Matsuda Seiko declared her independence, idols in the entire industry were cautious and did not dare to act rashly. Now, she is being stared at by the weekly magazine with a magnifying glass, and other people in the industry have to follow suit, whether proactively or passively.
Back then, Matsuda Seiko, who had taken a break from marriage, had a fierce fight with Nakamori Akina. Up to now, Nakamori Akina is still the star of the show. Matsuda Seiko, who has gone through a break from marriage and had a daughter, and is deeply involved in the independence crisis, is naturally more powerful than Nakamori Akina.
Don't fall in love with her.
However, in the eyes of the public, when it comes to fame, they are the two female idols to choose from.
While Matsuda Seiko was being stared at by a magnifying glass, another wave of reporters came up with the idea of Nakamori Akina.
Since these two female idols were rivals at the beginning, and now one is in trouble, if they can get something from the other, the effect will definitely be good.
As a result, the number of reporters suddenly appeared around Nakamori Akina.
Akina Nakamori keeps a low profile in private and doesn't like to expose her private life to the public. Reporters have limited manpower. Even Taopusda cannot send someone to follow them every day when they don't hear any news. If you want to take action, most of them will be on the TV station.
, when informants from places like record companies provide clues.
Now, it's not that I've received any rumors, it's purely due to the influence of Matsuda Seiko.
In the final analysis, except for her two old rivals and Matsuda Seiko, there has never been a female idol who can reach the heights of the two of them in the entertainment industry since then, so that even now, they still subconsciously compare the two of them.
Compare.
But no matter what the reason was, the reporter was brought to his side. The impact on the people surrounded by reporters was real.
As soon as the reporters gathered around, agent Da Ben was the first to notice the news.
On this day, after work, Akina Nakamori went to have dinner with the singers who were on the same stage. On the way to take her home, Omoto noticed a car following her and reminded her, "It seems that I am being followed by a car from a weekly magazine."
Nakamori Akina's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously turned her head.
She was unsure, and was worried that her relationship with Shinichi Iwahashi had leaked out, leading to reporters being called in. A secret love means enjoying secret happiness, but also suffering from secret uneasiness.
However, Omoto then revealed the news, "I heard that several popular idols are surrounded by reporters recently...thanks to that Saint Son-san."
When Akina Nakamori heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief but didn't show it.
However, it is not unknown to the industry that Seiko Matsuda is deeply involved in negative things. Not only that, she also knows more and more clearly than ordinary people.
It was because the Music Association was offended by the independence thing that it was retaliated against. This matter will not be hidden from the artists in the industry. On the contrary, if you kill a chicken to scare a monkey, the chicken will not be killed without being in front of the monkey.
"Isn't Shengzi-san pitiful?" she muttered.
As an agent, I can't comment on this matter. But in my heart, I can't help but feel that Akina Nakamori is too soft-hearted. But being compassionate is also a reflection of her personal charm.
What's more, as the one who was beaten, looking at Matsuda Seiko's embarrassed appearance, no celebrity artist with any sense would be happy to see Matsuda Seiko suffer.
Today it is Seiko Matsuda’s turn, and tomorrow it may be Akina Nakamori’s turn.
Matsuda Seiko is also a senior idol that Nakamori Akina has admired.
In this matter, Omoto, who is an agent, and Akina Nakamori, who is a star, did not want to go together. Realizing this, Omoto changed the topic and asked her, "Akina-chan, who else is there to go to next?"
Place?"
Nakamori Akina shook her head, "I'll go home directly now."
If there are reporters following you in the car, you can either deliberately tease the reporters, play all night long, and make the paparazzi follow you in a circle. Or, you can go home directly to save yourself unnecessary trouble.
After receiving such an answer, Omoto replied "I know". However, after confirming the car following him, he hesitated and asked her, "Is there anyone Akina-chan gets along with right now?"
Nakamori Akina wrinkled her face, as if she had eaten a pickled plum. After a long while, she spit out the plum core and said, "There are a lot of them."
