Miwa-chan replied as if imitating. With a nonchalant tone, it was obvious that this was an ordinary gift no different from records and dolls. For two people who give each other all kinds of strange gifts every Christmas Eve, it was indeed true.
in this way.
Iwahashi Shinichi held the bucket of snow and hesitated to speak. Miwa-chan took the lead and said what he was thinking, "It snowed in Tokyo yesterday."
"So, you just went to collect snow?" Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly wanted to sigh.
He didn't know how to react. Everyone he worked with in the recording studio looked like they were watching the fun. Who would have thought of giving a bucket of snow as a gift? Miwa Yoshida could think of it.
Not only that, but as if it was a big deal, he thrust the thermos bucket into Shinichi Iwahashi's hand.
Among all the colleagues who worked together, Brother Nakamura's reaction was the most exciting. He looked at Shinichi Iwahashi with a smile. For a moment, the two Zeng Yi's various small incidents involving dead Taoist friends and poor Taoists surrounding Miwa-chan,
came to mind one after another.
Miwa-chan didn't care what others thought of the gift she gave her, or even the other people present. Her eyes only looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, as if she were looking at an idiot, even though she didn't know who was doing the idiot's thing.
——
Is the person who is confused about a bucket of snow a fool, or the person who gives a bucket of snow as a Christmas gift is a fool.
However, she plausibly said, "What else? It's impossible to ask a friend to send it from my hometown in Hokkaido, or to pass it off as shaved ice."
Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but sigh, "If it's shaved ice, you can tell at a glance." He said again as if to confirm, "Anyway, last night, when it was snowing, you went to collect snowflakes.
."
Miwa-chan looked innocent, "It rarely snows in Tokyo, so I thought I might as well collect the snowflakes and give them to you." She said seriously, "Although it snowed on the 23rd, if you keep it well, treat it as a snowflake.
It’s not impossible to have Christmas snow.”
"Last year's Christmas, this year's Christmas... In short, it's very rare to see Christmas snow in Tokyo just right." Miwa-chan looked like she was full of complaints about Tokyo's winter.
Although the cross talk, which does not charge tickets, is quite enjoyable for onlookers, other people working together in the recording studio can't put down their work and wait to watch the show. It's fun to watch at the time, and then they just have to do what they want to do.
do what.
For those who are looking forward to Christmas snow, snowfall on the day before Christmas Eve is probably more disappointing than the days before and after Christmas when the sky is clean.
Miwa-chan mentioned last year's Christmas Eve, which reminded Shinichi Iwahashi of last year's day again, the gift she didn't send - expelling him from the band. In addition, what also came to mind was
There was Miwa-chan sitting on the top of the jungle gym, staring at the night sky and complaining about the winter in Tokyo.
Before Christmas Eve comes, I have been looking forward to snow.
Even if it is a small park, as long as it is covered with snow, if you stand on the climbing frame and look down, you will still see a snowfield.
At that time, Miwa-chan, who was saying these words, climbed to the top of the climbing frame under the spotless night sky, looked down from the top, looked at the non-existent snowfield, and gave out the failed Christmas gift.
.
Yesterday's snow gradually turned from cold rain to snow flakes from the evening. In the evening, the snow flakes gradually turned into slightly larger snowflakes. As Miwa-chan said, it always starts with cold rain.
Then it slowly turns into snow. But even if the snowflakes are flying in the sky, they disappear after just one night. Even if there is a little bit left, it will always be here and there, dirty.
Despite this, when the snow fell and covered the park into a small snowfield, it was clean. The snowflakes collected by Miwa-chan were placed in a thermal bucket and were also clean. In Iwahashi Shinichi's mind,
On Christmas Eve last year, Miwa-chan was sitting on the top of the climbing frame, staring at the night sky, when suddenly snow began to fall.
Those snowflakes were collected by Miwa-chan and put into the thermos bucket. Or maybe the snowflakes collected in the thermos bucket re-embellished the memories of not seeing snow in the first place.
Iwahashi Shin put the lid of the thermos bucket back on, "Thanks to you, there will be Christmas snow to see this Christmas."
"So, it's a pretty good gift, right?" Miwa-chan was quite proud of herself.
Iwahashi Shinichi did not contradict her, but nodded seriously, "Well, that's amazing."
However, he praised the gift very seriously, which made Miwa-chan feel discouraged. She muttered: "It's so boring." She didn't know what she meant by boring. Of course, looking at her expression, she couldn't.
It's not really boring.
She was given a serious response, but immediately found it boring. Such a reaction seemed as if what she did was just to get into trouble with Shin Iwahashi.
Of course Iwahashi Shinichi had no choice but to smile helplessly because of her nature.
Miwa-chan is probably the only person who would think of giving snow as a Christmas gift. Receiving such a strange gift made Iwahashi Shinichi temporarily forget about his previous words of "three Christmas gifts".
It was Miwa-chan herself who reminded her provocatively, "Greedy Shinichi-kun, why don't you ask me what the other two Christmas gifts are?" She pretended to add fuel to the fire, "It's not Shinichi-kun who is so easily satisfied.
style."
"..." Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless.
There is such a woman in the world. Whenever you feel any warmth towards her in the last second, she will immediately tell you in the next second that it is all a false phantom. Not only that, she will also press you to the ground and rub you.
, just to make your memory long.
"So, what about the other two gifts? Where are they?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked.
Miwa-chan was waiting for him to take the bait, and immediately shouted, "Greedy Shinichi-kun finally showed his true colors!" Miwa-chan must have an innate talent for making people popular.
In order not to be mad at her, Iwahashi Shinichi put down the thermos bucket and went to get his bag.
Miwa-chan stayed where she was, looking at his back, and in a long voice, she decided to be a naughty child and she would do it to the end, "What are you going to do, Shinichi-kun?" She looked calm. Just looking at this look, she didn't expect Iwahashi to be moved.
Shen Yi was so angry that he almost died.
Of course, I didn’t feel any guilt at all after being so popular that I almost died. In other words, I didn’t even realize what I had done.
She remembered that yesterday, after the cold rain, there was snow. When the lights first came on, the falling snow particles seemed to get bigger. She walked across the sidewalk covered with a thin layer of white snow and slipped into the deserted park alone. The swing frame was also covered with snow.
Covered in white, when pushed forward, it made a squeaking sound, as if it was hurt.
Last night, she was wearing a navy blue coat, and white snowflakes fell on it, sparkling white. She used her gloved hands to gently brush away the snowflakes on the climbing frame. The climbing frame was also cold to the touch through her gloves.
.
He was obviously born and raised in the country of snow. When he was young, he dared to go outside in a single coat on a snowy day. But after staying in Tokyo for a long time, he got used to the warm and humid days where it seldom snowed, and he seemed to be less tolerant of the cold.
She sat on the top of the climbing frame and stared up at the night sky. The falling snowflakes fell on her face and into her eyes. The snow continued to fall, covering up the footprints she left when she came. The climbing frame was covered by her
Wherever it had been brushed away, snow fell again.
It didn't snow on Christmas Eve last year, and it won't snow on Christmas Eve this year. But before Christmas Eve, I still saw snowflakes. Miwa-chan didn't think the snow that fell a day earlier was a strange thing. Watching the snowflakes falling, she just
Already feeling calm.
She waited for this small park to turn into a small snowfield. Then she put the snow into a thermal bucket and took it home, giving it to Shinichi Iwahashi tomorrow.
Give him the snowflakes, give him this small snowfield and the scenery she has seen.
For Christmas, I want to give three gifts to Shinichi Iwahashi. Shinichi Iwahashi will also give her a gift. It’s a funny doll or a small object with a strange shape but that can be useful.
Miwa-chan hums softly. As long as she is in a good mood, she will sing endlessly. Sometimes it is a ridiculous tune, sometimes it is an impromptu improvisation. Sometimes it is an existing melody, and sometimes it is blessed by the god of inspiration.
Being able to meet you is my most precious harvest and most precious gift this year.
Seeing Iwahashi Shinichi come back, she smiled and sang to him: "Merry Christmas to you~"
…
After it snows, it must be sunny the next day.
On Christmas Eve this year, the sky was spotless, just like yesterday's snow. It was to clean the house, waiting to welcome relatives and friends gathering together, and waiting to welcome Santa Claus who came with gifts.
In the evening, Miwa-chan and Nakamura-chan called it a day. Tonight, the two of them were going to LIVEHOUSE for a regular performance. It was the same on Christmas Eve in previous years. The band went to sing at LIVEHOUSE, which was jointly funded by the three of them.
But this year is different.
The band announced a new system. Giraffe Man will not participate in concerts other than the quadrennial outdoor tour. In this case, it is not convenient to perform on the LIVEHOUSE stage on Christmas Eve. He can only be an audience and watch the band from the audience.
performance.
The production of the new album was finished, and Miwa-chan and Nakamura brother went to prepare. Iwahashi Shinichi waited and asked the driver to take him to the show. Miwa-chan was worried, and before leaving, she specifically warned, "Please be early for our entrance."
The coupons are very popular.”
"It goes without saying that I know this." Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "I promise to find ways to occupy the first row."
To boast so much about Haikou, we must start early to get the first row.
DREAMS COME TRUE is now a front-line band, and they want to perform in a small live house. In order to satisfy Miwa-chan's willfulness, even Sony sent people to assist - to ensure the safety of the venue.
Except for the lucky ones who got the tickets, there must be no situation where the aisles are crowded with people, or even the emergency passages are blocked. At most, the sound leakage can only be heard outside the venue.
Dealing with this kind of thing is a piece of cake for the person in charge of the record company.
In fact, there was some criticism from Sony about the band's annual Christmas Eve performance. They thought it was too much investment and meaningless. However, Miwa-chan's personality is to do whatever she wants, and she is the band's leader.
Absolute center.
Most importantly, she is also the lead singer of Sony's most profitable band today. Compared to the value the band has created for Sony, working for the band on Christmas Eve is nothing.
After the performance, the staff present often get a big red envelope.
After Miwa-chan and Nakamura-san left, Shinichi Iwahashi also said goodbye to the staff at the Shinano-cho recording studio. Mitsuki Iijima went back and forth today. First, at noon, he gave Shinichi Iwahashi a piece of music he received from Miwa-chan.
The bucket of snow was delivered to his home and put in the refrigerator. At this moment, Shinichi Iwahashi was also sent to watch a show.
After watching the show, I listened to Shinichi Iwahashi's arrangements. Mitsuo Iijima made the calculation in her mind. She worked as a driver for Shinichi Iwahashi, and all kinds of secrets were known to her. She, the confidant driver, knew all about Shinichi Iwahashi's identities.
, and everything was clear. Since Shinichi Iwahashi would not hide other secrets about his schedule from her, he would naturally ask her to send him to attend the recording of DREAMS COME TRUE.
Similarly, the more she knew about various things about Iwahashi Shinichi, the more loyal Iijima Sanchi became. She used her three wisdoms of "don't listen, don't see, don't tell" and followed Iwahashi Shinichi's arrangements in everything.
"Thank you for your hard work today." Iwahashi Shinichi's voice came from the back row.
It was Christmas Eve at this time, and the traffic conditions in Tokyo were not very good. We had expected this to happen, so the band's recording ended early today. The three of them split into two groups, but they all acted in advance.
While waiting, I was bored, so Iwahashi Shinichi started talking to Iijima Mitochi.
To be honest, Iijima Mitochi joined the production team of his singers this year and was sent to deal with people at the TV station. In addition, treating her as a driver makes Shinichi Iwahashi somewhat a bit awkward.
Willful behavior.
However, Mijima Iijima himself did not feel inappropriate about this arrangement.
"Do you have any plans for Christmas Eve?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked her.
Mijima Iijima replied implicitly but firmly, "Everything depends on Iwahashi-san's arrangement."
Receiving such an answer made Iwahashi Shinichi laugh. He told Mijima Iijima, "Wait a minute, just send me there, and you can get off work."
Regardless of whether Shinichi Iwahashi was out of sympathy for his subordinates, or he had other plans.
Mijima Iijima lowered his eyebrows and replied: "Yes, I understand."
The rolling traffic moved forward slowly.
Iwahashi Shinichi remembered it and mentioned, "By the way, Kitagawa-san is going to visit Johnny two years ago. Please prepare a suitable gift tomorrow."
This was something she was often arranged to do when she was working in Sakai Masatoshi's office.
Mitsuo Iijima was taken by Shinichi Iwahashi to meet Kitagawa Kao several times. Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to cooperate with Kagawa Kitagawa, so naturally he was also concerned about the internal situation of Johnny. Mitsuo Iijima, a confidant, also consciously collected relevant information.
information——
Including how to give a good gift to Kitagawa Kaisho.
Iwahashi Shinichi casually told Iijima Michi, "The era of idols is gone forever. Even Genesis can't turn things around."
He was talking about the group SMAP, which had poor results after their debut. Mijima Iijima thought to himself.
Shinichi Iwahashi said thoughtfully, "Speaking of it, if we want to revitalize the idol profession, we probably have to go 'retrograde', and everything that exists now cannot be counted."
Retrograde?
Work matters are not within the scope of the "Three Wisdoms". Mijima Iijima pricked up his ears.
