Without building that building, we would not know that the "Nakamori children" are chains tied to their feet. If we don't know that there are chains on our feet, we would not be able to talk about removing the chains.
From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with building a building.
"Discovering problems is as important as solving them." Shinichi Iwahashi told her.
Akina Nakamori listened in confusion, "Is that so?"
"Of course." Iwahashi Shinichi confirmed.
She became confused again, "If you want to put it that way, the way to solve the problem is to sell the building."
"Under the current circumstances, selling the building is the appropriate choice." Shinichi Iwahashi pointed out.
Nakamori Akina is clumsy and willful, but she is not necessarily stupid. If she hadn't touched a vague outline, she wouldn't be so confused. She herself is not unaware that her father has been taking money from the firm, and her brothers and sisters are also interested in getting money from her.
What peace of mind. Selling the building does not mean that these troubles will go away.
Iwahashi Shinichi said this, and she heard the overtones, thought to herself, and pursed her lips unconsciously. As she was distracted, something touched her lips. She widened her eyes, and made eye contact with Iwahashi Shinichi.
,Then--
"Hey!" she shouted angrily, slapping away the hand that pinched her lips.
The startled puppy Kenta started barking again. While barking, the little man ran to Shinichi Iwahashi's feet to demonstrate.
The character of this dog is really unpleasant... Iwahashi Shinichi secretly thought.
"You are always so evil-minded, even the puppy will hate you." Nakamori Akina threatened with her teeth and claws.
Iwahashi Shinichi accepted her bluff criticism, seeing that the confusion on her face was diluted by this episode, and then returned to the topic, "In the future, when you encounter such a thing again, you might as well think about this building.
everything."
Mingming had teased her just now, and now he was talking about business. Nakamori Akina asked him to lead her by the nose, and she also understood that his teasing just now was not because of "bad intentions."
"Selling the building solves the current troubles. But it's not just that." Shinichi Iwahashi patiently enlightened her.
The building that brought the family together ended in failure. The children of the Nakamori family each have their own lives. One building cannot accommodate so many lives.
Similarly, the shade of a family's money tree cannot protect so many specific people.
After becoming famous, there is nothing wrong with wanting to make your family live a better life. However, there is a limit to everything. The idea that as long as you give in, everyone can be happy and your family can still be family, it is a kind of thinking.
Wishful thinking.
"Of course everyone in the family has their own thoughts. Because of this, Akina, your own thoughts are the most important." Iwahashi Shinichi took the trouble, "However, although it is not a problem to hope that the family can be happy. But below the family, there is
Specific people.”
Everyone's thoughts on their own life are also the most important. Rather than hoping for the happiness of the family, it is better to hope that the people in the family can each find happiness in their own lives. And happiness is pursued by oneself and held in one's own hands.
It's not something you take over from others. Constantly meeting your family's requirements is not sharing happiness, but a kind of giving that makes your family no longer a family member.
"My own thoughts."
Akina Nakamori repeated it, looking at Shinichi Iwahashi, "Shinichi, you keep saying that."
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "Because I have always thought so." After a pause, he added: "Since the person I like most at home is my mother, when I have something difficult, I might as well discuss it with Chieko-san."
Chieko can help Akina Nakamori persuade her two children to leave the building, and then let Akio Nakamori relax. Shinichi Iwahashi not only believes that she will stand by Akina Nakamori to help her, but also believes that she also understands this kind of family.
How terrible it is to be huddled under the shade of a money tree like Akina Nakamori.
He helps Akina Nakamori because he doesn't want his daughter's life to be dragged down like this. However, he persuades the other children to leave because he hopes that the other children will have the opportunity to take their own lives into their own hands.
As a mother, Chieko takes great pains.
Although he had only met Chieko a few times and had never talked about the Nakamori family or the building, Iwahashi Shinichi could somewhat guess when he heard Nakamori Akina talk about it.
Perhaps, when building that building, Chieko also had the idea of hoping for a happy family. However, the failure of that building and Chieko's decision to promote the sale of the building showed that she no longer thought that way.
Already.
When he first heard Nakamori Akina talk about the building, Iwahashi Shinichi suggested that she discuss it with her mother. What he thought was, on the one hand, that Chieko's position in the Nakamori family meant she had enough weight to speak.
On the other hand, I also hope that Chieko can figure out the connection. With Chieko's painstaking efforts towards the children, once she figures it out, she will find ways to prevent similar things from happening again.
Iwahashi Shinichi, an outsider, couldn't say much about the Nakamori family's family affairs.
If her family knew that it was him who was behind the idea, it would make the Nakamori family think that he was inciting Akina Nakamori to act randomly. Even a simple matter would become complicated once outsiders get involved.
But it's different when Chieko comes forward. For the Nakamori family, her mother's presence is crucial.
"Does Shinichi believe in mother?" Akina Nakamori looked like a child.
Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "Of course."
"If you ask me to discuss it with my mother, I will go and discuss it with my mother..." she said, remembering her mother Chieko's words of praise for Shinichi Iwahashi's kindness.
"Not only will I discuss it with my mother," Nakamori Akina changed her subject, "I will also tell you, you know?"
Iwahashi Shinichi noticed her bluffing look. Akina Nakamori showed a little inferiority complex in front of him when she talked about the troubles at home.
She has low self-esteem about her origins, but believes that Shinichi Iwahashi will not despise her because of the troubles in her family. So, don't be awkward, it has become like this.
"I know." Iwahashi Shinichi agreed, "I will listen carefully."
Nakamori Akina said "hmm", blinked her aggrieved eyes, and touched his shoulder with her forehead, like a child who doesn't speak well, touching him gently again and again, "I think that if I can meet you, Shenyi,
That's great."
Iwahashi Shinichi listened.
"So," Akina Nakamori told him, "even though I feel like a burden to you, I still have to shamelessly tell you that I want to be with you for a long, long time, forever."
She seemed to be talking to herself, "Not only am I old-fashioned, I'm also cheeky..."
Iwahashi Shinji couldn't help laughing when he heard what she was mumbling clearly. He laughed, but he realized her true feelings from her words.
Akina Nakamori said that she was his burden. Shinichi Iwahashi felt uncomfortable hearing this. She said that she was his burden every time. Akina Nakamori did not mention the hardships of dating him.
He exerted force with his arms, and Akina Nakamori snuggled into his arms. The nervous puppy Kenta, looking at the situation, didn't seem to need a man like him to step forward.
The puppy circled twice around Nakamori Akina's feet. It didn't get any attention, so it retreated into its nest as if it was awkward.
…
Akina Nakamori really said whatever she wanted to Iwahashi Shinichi. Not only did she tell him about the sale of the building, but she also told him how much money had been spent on building the building and what the current price of the sale was.
How many.
As I talked, I couldn't help but feel incredible, "After a few years, the value has increased again."
Look at this, the sentimentality that I felt when I first told Iwahashi Shinichi about this matter has completely disappeared, and I am now focused on selling the building.
However, compared to her lament that the price of the building has risen instead of falling, what Iwahashi Shinichi finds even more incredible is the unpreparedness with which she told him about her family fortune without reservation.
After talking about selling the building, Iwahashi Shinichi went to take a shower and stayed at her place for the night. When he came out, he was excitedly pulled by Akina Nakamori to watch her show off the trophies she had purchased when she went shopping.
Change it under her command and let her look at it carefully.
Akina Nakamori kept nodding "Yeah, yeah". She was quite satisfied at first, and then she confirmed with Shinichi Iwahashi as if asking for credit, "How's it going?"
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at himself in the dressing mirror and said, "The size is just right." As he spoke, he saw the bulging cheeks of the paper tiger reflected in the dressing mirror.
She puffed out her cheeks, a little discouraged, "Don't you like it?"
"What don't you like?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked.
Nakamori Akina said in a logical manner, "Isn't it the same as saying that the size is right at this time is like praising the beautiful dishes that serve the meal when the meal is just mediocre?"
"Really?" Shinichi Iwahashi called her, which made her laugh.
"However," he said, "I'm not saying this because I don't like it. On the contrary, I'm saying it because I like it." Shinichi Iwahashi looked at Akina Nakamori in the mirror, "You think, just because I like it and want to wear it,
You only care about whether the size fits, right?"
"Um……"
Nakamori Akina was in a daze, thinking that what she said made sense, and smiled happily. She stood next to him, held one of his arms, and looked at the two people in the mirror with a smile.
"Next time, just say 'I like it very much' first." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
Nakamori Akina didn't care anymore, "You can say whatever you want." After thinking about it, she began to take the opportunity to tease him, "But, if you say 'I like it very much' and add 'My dear Akina's taste is really good', that would be the best solution."
good."
"It's better to spare me." Iwahashi Shinichi sighed.
Akina Nakamori chuckled and said harshly, "So, you just won't call me 'baby', right?" She didn't know why she was so proud, "As for me, no matter how disgusting the name is,
I can even call you out."
The more Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't scream, the more energetic she became.
You also know that "baby" is very disgusting...
Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't do anything to her, so he simply refused to answer and took his arm out of her arms, "Just wear this outfit to work tomorrow."
As he spoke, he began to untie his tie.
Nakamori Akina conscientiously stood by and stopped messing around with him. She was afraid that if it got wrinkled and stained, she wouldn't be able to wear it tomorrow. Iwahashi Shinichi said that she would wear the clothes she had prepared to go to work, which made her feel like she had never worn a tie that was inappropriate before.
There's a feeling of winning a game back there.
Sometimes, it's hard to tell whether she is childish or naive, or whether she is too pure.
However, when she lowered her head and her eyes fell on the straight line of Shinichi Iwahashi's trousers, she still put her finger on it a little naughtily, pushed it away gently, and took her finger away again, laughing non-stop.
It was so neat and tidy, just looking at it made her feel happy. She was very satisfied.
Shinichi Iwahashi looked at the innocent smiling face of Akina Nakamori, who was enjoying herself, reflected in the dressing mirror, and thought she was beautiful.
…
The album released by THE BLUE HEARTS after they changed the album sold nearly 190,000 copies in the first week of its release. Not only did it win the first place on the weekly chart, but it also directly topped the album chart in the last week before the deadline.
It won a spot on the annual album chart of the year.
As soon as the results of this first week came out, the band became the focus of attention again, both in the industry and among the public. After the previous incident, the band became full of topics again.
During this week, record company operators are on standby, ready to answer calls with negative reviews from the public. After all, this is a week when records are sold based on buzz, and those who go there for the band’s name may not necessarily be satisfied with the band’s songs.
.
There are no negative review calls to record companies, but they are far lower than the "negative review rate." Based on the negative review rate, the speed of depreciation, and the number of on-demand wireless broadcasts, we can basically deduce
The album's reputation and subsequent sales trends.
From the current point of view, it will not collapse in the future.
As long as it doesn't collapse, even if it just sells according to the regular trend, then the final result will be a figure that only top-line popular singers can sell.
In the first week, nearly half of the shipment of 500,000 copies was sold, which proved that this big move was absolutely correct.
The band was a blessing in disguise, taking advantage of the previous turmoil to gain nationwide fame. As long as the final reputation of this new album can be stabilized, then the new works to be released next will be fine as long as they are not just a slap in the face.
Not bad.
After all, no matter how you ignite the topic or arrange the publicity, in the end it comes back to the "work" itself.
The first-week performance of THE BLUE HEARTS's album not only brought the band into the spotlight again, but also made the band's value soar.
As long as the reputation can be stabilized, this band will be able to make a lot of money in at least the next two to three years. If the creative power is strong enough, the market changes are not too outrageous, and the members do not make trouble, maybe they can still become popular.
Now, if you let the band's manager out, you are really sending a cash cow to your door.
This makes the subsequent brokerage agreement of THE BLUE HEARTS no longer just a brokerage agreement, but a tool to show goodwill to a certain business and cooperate with a certain firm.
If it is finally decided to release the band's managerial contract instead of keeping it in the hands of U-MIZ, then the issues that Shinichi Iwahashi and Manumi Watanabe avoided discussing before will inevitably come up again.
