"Does Akina-chan have any goals for the new year?"
Nakamori Akina answered the host's question in a soft voice, "I want to try a new job, and there are many things I want to know. I am very interested in Spain..."
The program we are recording now is a special program during the New Year period. By the time it is broadcast, it will be early January next year.
She has rich experience in dealing with these issues without saying a word.
However, what the host wants to ask, and what the audience in front of the TV wants to hear afterwards, is by no means limited to these trivial topics. After listening to Nakamori Akina's words, when appropriate, the host will introduce topics that are popular with the public.
"What about love?"
Akina Nakamori was asked and blinked, "If you are in love, you want to aim for marriage... Of course it would be best if you can get married."
She said it sincerely. Standing outside the studio waiting for her to record the program, listening to it made her feel even more stressed.
In this situation, there are mixed truths and falsehoods. The entertainment industry is full of artists who talk about cheating, and there are more artists than one train can fit in. However, based on Omoto's understanding of her, he knows that Akina Nakamori is sometimes too frank.
Wanting to get married means that she has a man in her heart that she likes so much that she is willing to bring him back home to raise a husband and children.
But who this person is, Ben has no idea at all.
Or, to be precise, when others hear these words, they may not think much about it. The pressure on Ben at this moment is just a speculation made by his agent based on his understanding of Nakamori Akina.
Matsuda Seiko was surrounded and suppressed, and all the artists in the industry were closely watched by the paparazzi. Nakamori Akina was so closely watched, but there was no problem at all. This made Omoto feel uncertain, and he couldn't guess whether he underestimated Nakamori Akina and ran away.
Train's skill lies in her keeping secrets so well that even the paparazzi can't find her.
However, this time the paparazzi went online collectively and did not find any information about Akina Nakamori, who is the only one who can rival Matsuda Seiko in terms of fame. However, they did take photos of a lot of other people, big and small.
Naoyuki Fujii from Checkers got drunk with Kyoko Koizumi, Toshihiko Tahara and Miho Nakayama went for a ride together, Yuei Marumaru, a member of the defunct Shibu Persimmon team, went in and out of the apartment of female idol Hidemi Ishikawa in the middle of the night, etc. Big names have the attention of big names, and second-tier stars
There is second-tier treatment.
Audiences enjoy watching gossips. Fans of male idols usually come to TV stations, offices, and stage performances to protest against female idols rumored to have scandals. The offices behind the celebrities who were photographed also have different attitudes.
It doesn't matter if an artist is in an agency, just leave it alone, but if you really want to get married, you should take action when it's time. That's what an agency is. Love is love, but getting married means that the money tree has been cut off.
The only thing is that Matsuda Seiko, who has already announced that he is going to the United States, and the previous negative news bombardment has gradually subsided, has left the world, and even gave such a small farewell gift to other idols——
This also caused other idols' offices to complain about this female idol who had caused such a big deal.
"I heard that Mincai Jiang is getting a pet recently." The host continued to chat with her.
When mentioning her pet, Nakamori Akina's eyes lit up, she sat upright, and was ready to say something special, "It's a little Yorkshire terrier, very small~ less than 500 grams." She said while gesturing with her hands.
.
"He is a very energetic boy. Although he is small, he is very manly..." Akina Nakamori kept chattering.
However, while talking, I also paid attention to the notice board under the stage.
At the appropriate time, the host took over the conversation and turned to a new topic. After the conversation ended, the camera stopped, Nakamori Akina stood up and thanked the host and staff present.
After finishing the conversation, I went to change my costume for the performance and record the part of the performance. After I changed my clothes and stood on the new stage, it was as if I was a different person. The one who just chatted incessantly and made small movements with his hands seemed to be at a loss.
Akina Nakamori is missing.
Da Ben, the person who follows her all day long, cannot see how many sides she has.
But from the bottom of my heart, I feel that such a person is born to perform on the stage. Everyone in the office and record company thinks so. Because of this, no one is willing to let her get married and retire from this money-spinner.
…
At the end of the year, not only people in the entertainment industry are busy, but the atmosphere of the entire society unconsciously becomes tense and busy at the end of the year. In the recording industry, the band trend has risen this year, and the market for BANDMAN has soared.
In the prosperous era, BANKMAN's market has always been very high.
Shinichi Iwahashi, the boss of BANDMAN, and Akihito Takenouchi, the high-spirited bankman, find it rare that they can sit down and have a meal together during this busy year of the year.
I was still invited to attend a dinner party hosted by Takenouchi Akihito and his friends.
Among the group of people present, there were bankers, people from the securities industry, and people working in real estate companies, all of whom were currently holding golden jobs. In addition, there were several young and beautiful girls present.
Listening to the introduction, there are current college students who have even won the school beauty pageant championship, and there are also pink-collar workers from the company. It is said to be a dinner party, just like a social gathering.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Takenouchi Akihito were not on the same road, and they rarely met a few times throughout the year. When they met this time, when he arrived, everyone present warmly welcomed him and shouted.
Judging from this posture, he must have had at least one drink already and was just about to warm up for the fun.
"Iwabashi is here!"
Takenouchi Akihito was elated, and his tone was full of pride that he was not bragging. Iwahashi Shinichi has been in the limelight this year, and unknowingly, he has become a person that everyone wants to get to know.
The girls who came to the sorority had already heard of Shinichi Iwahashi's name. When they saw him in person, he was indeed upright and tough... but his appearance was a bit outdated.
It would be even better if he is a Johnny idol or a handsome guy like the male models from "MEN'S NON-NO".
However, this did not prevent these girls from asking him questions in front of famous and prestigious people in the entertainment industry.
Takenouchi Akihito is not so much a talker, but rather abiding by the tacit rule among nightclubs, "After leaving the world of nightlife, never mention the nightlife world again." He has never mentioned it to others.
I met Shinichi Iwahashi in a nightclub.
But the reason why the friendship between the two people has been maintained until now has a lot to do with his personality.
Thanks to this, when dealing with a bunch of boring questions, Iwahashi Shinichi would not hear questions like "Did you really work as a waiter in a nightclub?"
Although, things like "ZARD's Kamaike-san worked as a clerk before debuting, and Nami-chan sings very well, should Iwahashi-san interview her?" or "Noriko won the Miss Beauty Pageant title, so her debut is not a problem."
More boring questions.
The entertainment world is a distant existence for ordinary people. Because of this, all kinds of strange conjectures, ridiculous gossips, and the emperor's golden hoe-like imagination... everything that comes from the general public, the entertainment world accepts everything
receive.
In a sense, "the entertainment industry is an industry that entertains the public", which is also reflected in the reception of these things.
Shinichi Iwahashi, a popular figure in the entertainment industry, has attracted attention and curiosity from girls, and even two girls who yearn for the entertainment industry have shown interest in him.
Naturally, the other men present were not to be outdone and showed off their own talents. Not only that, while bragging about themselves, they also didn’t know if it was to show that they were high-level celebrities in the entertainment industry, and each of them had heard scandals and gossip about celebrities.
for fun.
Iwahashi Shinichi, the man in black behind the scenes, was listening to the fun and enjoying it - there was a lot of gossip that he didn't even know about. If he was suddenly asked by girls to confirm whether it was true or false, he would just fool around and not touch it.
body.
"I really admire you."
Takenouchi Akihito was impressed by his calmness and heartfelt admiration. Iwahashi Shinichi did not accept this trick, "This sentence should be returned to you intact."
It's really hard for this man to spend his days in these boring parties.
"That's what I say, it doesn't hurt to listen." Takenouchi Akihito smiled, "Maybe you actually signed a contract with some celebrity at the sorority, or you heard some celebrity scandal that you can take advantage of."
Iwahashi Shinichi was a little speechless, "It would be great if the sorority was so powerful." Having said that, if you really sign a contract with a female artist while participating in the sorority, you need to package it well when writing a resume after her debut.
At this moment, the stall has been extended to the end. Among the men and women tonight, some happily went to the disco for a date alone, some went back to their own homes, and some took the same car.
As soon as everyone dispersed, Takenouchi Akihito asked Iwahashi Shinichi to have a finishing drink again.
"How's the market going these days?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked.
Takenouchi Akihito always said, "It's so good." He was beaming with joy, "It's so good that it seems like it will last forever."
"To be honest, I can't imagine such a scene." Iwahashi Shinichi said something in front of him.
Takenouchi Akihito smiled heartily and nodded, "Indeed, I can't imagine it either. I can't imagine what it would be like if this state continued. Sometimes I feel that if it stays like this forever, the city of Tokyo will become a
monster."
"Now, let's have a party at the monster's feet." We don't know when the monster will wake up, when it will get angry, and when it will bite these arrogant guys to death and trample them to death.
"Iwahashi, do you think it's weird that I don't know?" Takenouchi Akihito said clearly, "Although you are the calmest person I have ever seen... you are unmoved to the point of being disgusting."
He was surrounded by extremely fanatical people, but when he met Iwahashi Shinichi, he heard him speak in a calm tone every time. Takenouchi Akihito felt that by talking to Iwahashi Shinichi, he was asking him to pour cold water on him.
.
But cold water has the benefits of cold water.
"The current prosperity will eventually end. Nowadays, it is difficult to land safely." Takenouchi Akihito showed a trace of confusion, "But, stay on this ship, instead of thinking that 'the ship is about to hit the rocks'
, it is better to pray that the ship will be fine before you get off the ship."
This idea is not limited to Takenouchi Akihito himself. People who fall into fanaticism may not know that this is false prosperity, but everyone is betting on when this castle in the sky will collapse and whether they are the lucky one to escape unscathed.
Son.
"Iwahashi, you stay out of this." Takenouchi Akihito said.
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "When the ship really hits the rocks, how can anyone stay out of it?" However, just like the people on the ship had different fates, some escaped after paying the price, and some fell and were buried.
People who are not on the boat also have their own way.
"The words are quite beautiful..." Takenouchi Akihito smiled, "But when he calls me occasionally, he always talks about converting the Japanese yen on hand into US dollars."
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't mind the ridicule in Takenouchi Akihito's tone. His tone was like that of a man walking on a single-plank bridge with a strong body. Looking at his friends who were taking a long way to avoid the single-plank bridge and walking slowly, he couldn't help but boast about his bravery.
"Every time I meet you, I feel heavy in my heart. I feel like I will be back after the oil crisis when I wake up tomorrow." Takenouchi Akihito complained about him.
Iwahashi Shinichi said with a straight face, "I won't be able to do it when I wake up tomorrow."
"..." Takenouchi Akihito was speechless.
Iwahashi Shinichi admired him very much, "My heart feels heavy after seeing me, but I still continue to see me. It's amazing."
"This sounds like sarcasm no matter what." Takenouchi Akihito sighed, "Iwahashi, you and Haruko's grandfather must have gotten along very well."
"That's not necessarily the case," Iwahashi Shinichi replied.
Akamatsu Haruko's grandfather was an old-school landowner who didn't care about things like financial management. He was different from people like Iwahashi Shinichi who didn't want to get on board.
"How about Haruko being in your company?" Takenouchi Akihito seemed to want to change the subject and get rid of the uneasiness caused by Shinichi Iwahashi's caution.
Shinichi Iwahashi praised her, "It's pretty good. When new people are recruited next year, they will be seniors." Her salary will also be increased.
"The Akamatsu family is not satisfied. They feel that she has done a job where she keeps bowing her head." Takenouchi Akihito said.
Iwahashi Shinichi ignored this and didn't take it to heart. "As long as Akamatsu himself doesn't find me and tell me that I don't want to do this job that requires me to keep my head down, then it has nothing to do with me."
"You shook it off cleanly." Takenouchi Akihito laughed.
It was not Iwahashi Shinichi who taught Akamatsu Haruko step by step how to become the man in black behind the scenes.
Iwahashi Shinichi counterattacked as if nothing had happened, "It was Takenouchi-san who told Akamatsu that I am the best agent you know."
Takenouchi Akihito sighed, "That's the only thing I said correctly."
Not only because he only knew Shinichi Iwahashi as an agent, but also because in just a few years, this young man who worked as a waiter in a nightclub and worked part-time as a backup dancer for an hourly salary of 600 yen has become a great figure.
.
I heard that Shinichi Iwahashi was nicknamed the "Golden Touch" and was praised for his excellent vision. For a person with such good vision and good judgment, is he right to be cautious? Takenouchi Akihito felt confused.
I don’t know if I should also dispose of the stocks and real estate I have with the thought of “when I wake up tomorrow, the oil crisis will come”.
After finishing the drinks, the two said goodbye.
Shinichi Iwahashi took a taxi, but instead of going back to his home, he gave the address of Akina Nakamori's apartment.
