Ayukawa Yukiko called Hiroshi Henggou in a low voice from behind.
Hiroshi Yokomori turned around, with a quiet and timid expression on his little follower-like face. However, Ayukawa Yukiko began to feel that there was a hint of cunning hidden behind Hiroshi Yokomso's harmless round face.
Ayukawa Yukiko didn't have any thoughts. She thought of something and blurted out: "Hengmou-san actually knows that there is no such song in it, right?" After saying this, she vaguely felt that something was not appropriate.
Hiroshi Yokomori showed a slightly surprised expression, "Why would Ayukawa-chan think so?"
Ayukawa Yukiko's face suddenly turned red. Afterwards, she realized that saying such words to Hiroshi Yokomori seemed to be saying that he knew clearly but pretended not to know, deliberately setting a trap for Higashino Yoichi.
She quickly lowered her head, "I'm sorry...Henggou-san."
Hiroshi Henggou smiled tolerantly and said, "It's okay." As for Ayukawa Yukiko's question, he neither admitted nor denied it.
Ayukawa Yukiko was heart-warming and smiled at him, "Because I really like the song that Iwahashi-san and Akina-san collaborated on, so when I heard Higashino-san say that, I felt bad."
Hiroshi Yokomori slowed down, got a little closer to Ayukawa Yukiko, and listened to her words.
"Maybe I'm superficial and have no taste...I thought about it a lot." She stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously, "But I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I found out that Higashino-san had never heard of it."
No matter how ordinary and superficial she is, no matter how ordinary her taste is, she is better than that guy who deliberately pretends to be knowledgeable in front of girls, right?
Guys like that are the most superficial!
Regardless of whether Hiroshi Yokomori exposed Higashino Yoichi with an accidental remark, or deliberately undermined Yoichi Higashino, Ayukawa Yukiko wanted to say "thank you" to Hiroshi Yokomso.
"As long as you like music, it's fine." Hiroshi Henggou told her.
Ayukawa Yukiko was still smiling, "That's right..." Hiroshi Henggou's generosity made her feel relaxed. She suddenly became curious, "What kind of music does Henggou-san listen to?"
"Me?" Hiroshi Henggou showed a hint of shyness, "As for me, listen to all kinds of music."
Ayukawa Yukiko said "Hey~", "Sounds very knowledgeable."
"No, that's not the case." Hiroshi Henggou denied. After thinking about it, "Actually, Iwahashi-san's production level is very good."
Ayukawa Yukiko nodded and agreed, "At least, the single he produced for Akena-san is absolutely great." After Higashino Yoichi, who had criticized Shinichi Iwahashi just now, was exposed, Ayukawa Yukiko was quite proud.
I feel that when I talk about this song, my tone becomes more determined.
Hiroshi Henggou laughed and said, "I will listen to the song Ayukawa-chan just mentioned."
Ayukawa Yukiko also smiled.
After lunch, Higashino Yoichi hurried away with his tail between his legs, Miyabe Mari was also disappointed. Miyabe Mari was disappointed because Higashino Yoichi's bragging was exposed in front of her, which made her also feel disappointed.
Embarrassing. At the same time, it was also because she listened very approvingly when Higashino Yoichi was boasting from the beginning to the end.
Hiroshi Henggou exposed Higashino Yoichi, and even Mari Miyabe became angry and felt that there was no point in continuing. In this way, they, the two supporting characters, chatted leisurely.
.
“I’m a big fan of the tunnel duo…”
As we chatted, the topic gradually shifted from music to other content. Ayukawa Yukiko was lively and cute. She showed a little pride when she said something right. She stuck out her tongue when she said something wrong and quickly replied "Sorry".
Although Hiroshi Henggou has a quiet personality, he doesn't think she is noisy because of her frankness.
…
After work, Hiroshi Henggou kept the single in mind, and before going home, he went to the record rental store he often frequented.
He was once a loyal fan of Band Paradise, and when the controversy of THE BLUE HEARTS was shown on TV, he followed the band's follow-up while admiring Shinichi Iwahashi in his heart as a great man.
Although I have not chased any celebrities in particular, nor have I specifically collected songs for which Iwahashi Shinichi is the producer, Iwahashi-san's name still appears in various forms in Hiroshi Yokomori's daily life.
The way I came out today was extraordinarily different.
Hiroshi Henggou walked into the record rental store. The person working in the store today was a college student named Jiangnan. He came here often and knew Jiangnan well. As soon as he entered the store, he was greeted warmly.
Hiroshi Henggou asked him, "Akina Nakamori has a single called "Kiss"."
Jiang Nan showed a clear expression, "You also read today's news, right?" The two were acquaintances, and Jiang Nan was a bit talkative.
Hiroshi Henggou nodded, taking it as such. Jiangnan guessed it right, and couldn't hold back his words, "You are not the only one who rented this "Kiss" all day today. However, Akina-san and Iwahashi
This is the second time the producer has collaborated, and there are many people who are very curious..."
Although he made a slight gaffe, Jiang Nan was not embarrassed and stopped talking as if nothing had happened.
Hiroshi Henggou admired his calmness or rather his shamelessness.
Jiangnan thought for a while, "Speaking of which, the song "Kiss" was included in the planned album produced by Iwahashi-san." Hiroshi Henggou often visited the store, and Jiangnan had some understanding of his listening style. Sometimes,
We will also help recommend new products.
This time too, I suggested to him: "Since you came to borrow a single, would you like to listen to the album as well? Personally, I think that although it is a planned album, it is surprisingly not fragmented and is quite unified. That rock
The quality of the bridge producers is quite strong.”
After all, it’s impossible to be a “second-rate producer”.
Masashi Yokomori agreed, "Then let's listen to it together." After thinking about it, he also rented a few albums by Akina Nakamori in recent years.
After having dinner at a small restaurant in the underground street of the station, Masashi Henggou returned home with the records. In the compact single apartment, there was a fairly complete set of music listening equipment. He took out the records he rented today and laid them out one by one.
On the shelf, take out the chilled beer from the refrigerator and pour it into the glass.
Get ready to enjoy your music.
Hiroshi Yokomori first put the "Kiss" single into the device, listened to the song, then opened the project album that contained the song, carefully pulled out the lyrics book inside, and looked at the production information.
...It's a pretty good song.
He thought about it while flipping through the lyrics book.
First, look at the production information, then look at the lyrics of each song, as well as the names of the lyrics, composers and arrangers. The lyrics book is also interspersed with behind-the-scenes photos of the recording studio.
There was Shinichi Iwahashi sitting in front of the console, with the members of Wave LAN and the beautiful enka singer standing behind him. There was Shinichi Iwahashi sitting in the middle, surrounded by Yui Asaka, Yoko Minamino, and another female singer.
living.
Looking further down, there is a picture of him and Akina Nakamori.
This is a captured photo. Two people were sitting facing each other, as if they were discussing something, but were frightened by the sound of the camera shutter, and looked at the camera together.
In the photo, Shinichi Iwahashi looks a little confused, while Akina Nakamori looks a little scared.
After this one, there were photos featuring Shinichi Iwahashi, Akina Nakamori, and INAL LOVE. Compared with the photo that looked like a snapshot, Hiroshi Yokomori felt that this photo had a more business-like feel.
At this time, after the single was played, the living room became quiet.
Hiroshi Henggou got up and changed the record. He took out the piece of "Kiss" and whispered: "Slimy love song." It was sticky, but not greasy at all.
Listening to the song, it seems like I have experienced the feeling of falling in love.
On the record player, the album began to play. Hiroshi Henggou walked back to the low table on his knees, picked up the cup, and took a sip of beer. He wiped off the water stains on the outer wall of the cup on his hands, picked up the lyrics book, and compared it.
I read the lyrics.
As I looked at it, I couldn't help but turn the lyrics book to the page where Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori were photographed. After looking at it, I felt that the photo was particularly unique.
Just looking at this photo, the relationship between the two people during their cooperation should be almost the same. Hiroshi Henggou thought that in this case, it would be logical for the two people to collaborate for a second time.
But what is it about it that makes him feel a little different?
Hiroshi Yokomori was a bit confused. However, even a loyal fan like Ayukawa Yukiko, when we were talking about that song today and the collaboration between Iwabashi producer and Nakamori Akina, they didn’t think about it at all outside of work.
The meaning of association.
Maybe, probably, he was overthinking.
…
On the day when the release information of Akina Nakamori's new album was announced, another batch of "Kiss" inventory was sold in the record store. The single had been released for more than half a year, and because of this information, it was boosted by sales.
Not only that, but the planned album also sold a little more. Seeing the business opportunity, the record store put the single and the planned album together so that customers who came to the store could easily grab an extra copy.
.
On the day when the release information of the new album was announced, Kenyin and Warner received sporadic calls of protest from fans of Akina Nakamori.
"Can you carefully consider the cooperation between Akina-san and producer Iwahashi? Producer Iwahashi and Akina-san are both excellent musicians, but putting their production concepts together does not bring about better results. From the above
It seems that these two singles are somewhat limiting each other.”
This is a serious analysis by sane fans.
"Although Iwahashi-san is a famous band producer, it's obvious that Akina-san and you can't get along!"
This is the straightforward type of fan.
Fortunately, I didn’t receive that kind of overly rude call. The reason for this is of course because Nakamori Akina has tried various styles since her debut, and fans with poor receptivity have long since left. And she has been in the industry for nine years.
Among the loyal fans left now, there are very few who would get emotional for her.
There is such a big advantage in working with mature female celebrities.
Among Nakamori Akina's fans, they had a very good impression of the last collaboration between the two of them, and there are of course some who are happy to see the results this time. There are also those who think that the last collaboration was not satisfactory, so they also have a wait-and-see attitude towards this collaboration. Of course, there are more
Most of the time, it actually doesn’t matter who Akina Nakamori collaborates with this time. I just wait for the finished product to come out. If you like it, support it. If you don’t like it, just wait for the next one.
Now that the cooperation has been officially announced, whether it is a mature protest, a rational analysis, or an emotional threat, it is a done deal. Only when the finished product is released will we know how this cooperation will be.
…
"The total is nine hundred and eighty yen, thank you." The record store clerk presented the wrapped single.
It was almost closing time, and at this time, the store was deserted. After seeing off this customer, the clerk thought to himself, there are quite a few people who came to buy this "Kiss" today.
After all, it was Nakamori Akina-san. There was a slight disturbance, and he immediately came to the record store.
It wasn't until she got into the car that Momoko Kikuchi took off her disguise and took the single.
Ordinarily, if you want a single, you don't need to go to the record store yourself for such a trivial matter. However, if you have to ask your assistant to buy a single by Akina Nakamori and Shinichi Iwahashi, Momoko Kikuchi feels like she is now
I can't say anything like this.
Now if she instructs her assistant to buy this single, she will be so embarrassed if the two of them make their relationship public in the future.
Momoko Kikuchi recalled that day when her agent was called back to the office, and then called her to tell her that Shinichi Iwahashi was dating Nakamori Akina.
At last year's Record Awards, Shinichi Iwahashi went on stage to receive the Planning Award.
After the New Year, when Momoko Kikuchi talked to Shinichi Iwahashi on the phone, she complimented him on his good taste in clothes. At that time, Shinichi Iwahashi told her that his girlfriend helped pick out the clothes.
If Nakamori Akina-san has such good taste, it wouldn’t be surprising...
Thinking of this, Momoko Kikuchi suddenly shivered. She turned over the single in her hand and looked at the release information on the back cover. This single was released in December last year, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori were arrested by paparazzi not long ago.
Photographed.
When did these two people start dating?
Did they already have a relationship since the first time they cooperated, and then the second time they cooperated, or did they just have a good impression of each other during the first time, and then started dating after the second time?
If they only started dating during this cooperation, then the "girlfriend" who chose clothes for Shinichi Iwahashi on the last day of last year was not Akina Nakamori.
Which one is it?
It would be strange for a man like Shinichi Iwahashi to not have a girl around him. Momoko Kikuchi was not surprised that he had a date. Even if he dated his girlfriend after breaking up, it was normal for him to date Akina Nakamori.
However, Kikuchi Momoko couldn't help but think about who Shinichi Iwahashi was dating when he introduced her to Kenyin? Was it Akina Nakamori or someone else?
Whether it was Akina Nakamori or someone else, the two possibilities were completely different in her opinion.
If he was dating Nakamori Akina-san, he would have agreed to her request for help and introduced her to Kenyin. The more straightforward Iwahashi Shinichi was in introducing her to move to Kenyin, the more upright he was.
On the other hand, if the person I was dating at that time was actually not Akina Nakamori...
Momoko Kikuchi thought about it and suddenly laughed. It was a self-deprecating look that she thought her thoughts were ridiculous.
