1003. The last day should have a sense of ceremony!!!
.......
The last day of Showa 60 came with no surprise at all.
It was when he was brushing his teeth in the morning that Naoki Nagayama spat out the water for mouthwash and said to Akina next to him:
"Ah... today is the last day~"
"Huh?" Akina wiped her face with a towel and felt strange, "What's wrong?"
"...It just feels like it should be more dramatic or ceremonial... It shouldn't be so plain..." Nagayama Naoki said casually. The last days of the previous few times seemed to be very...
Interesting, “It’s the last day after all~”
"Well..."
Hearing this, Akina next to her was applying face cream and said nothing, but when Nagayama Naoki also finished wiping his face, she came closer with a smile...
"Naoki-san...it feels like a ritual, right..."
Suddenly, when someone wasn't paying attention, Akina stood on tiptoes, held her husband's face in her hands, and kissed him with lightning speed.
But Nagayama Naoki only felt a chill on his face, a gust of fragrant wind hit him, and then his warm lips, with the softness of mint, rushed in, attacking the city like a swimming fish...
Subconsciously he hugged his wife's waist. Naoki Nagayama was very surprised by this early morning surprise. A French wet kiss so early in the morning?
After a few minutes, the two of them separated. Akina's lips were slightly red and her breathing was slightly rapid, but her pretty face without makeup had a flowery smile, and the corners of her mouth showed a sly arc:
"How's it going, Naoki-san, do you have a sense of ceremony now?!"
"...."
This woman is so good!!!
I still felt a little sleepy at first, but now I am completely awake~
But after all, there were plans for today, so the two of them had no passion and started to work day and night. After laughing for a while, they happily went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
"I'm going to be very busy all day today..." Akina Nakamori said, "In the morning, I'm going to the Kohaku Uta Music Festival for one last walk, in the afternoon I'm going to the Record Awards, and in the evening I'm going to the Kohaku Uta Music Festival again...
..”
The Japan Record Awards starts at six o'clock in the evening, which lasts about two hours, and then Akina will go to the Kohaku Uta Music Club non-stop to participate in the live broadcast... For this reason, Akina's performance was arranged in the second half.
In fact, this year's most popular artists basically receive this treatment, because they cannot miss either the Record Awards or the Red and White Song Festival, so they have to squeeze in time to attend both.
Since they are both influential artists and important events, the Ministry of Transportation even specially coordinated and arranged a "green channel" to ensure smooth flow when running on both sides.
"I guess I won't be able to see Naoki-san until after the end~"
Nagayama Naoki said with a smile: "During the Kohaku Utakara, I will be watching Akina from the bottom~ right in the first echelon!"
With Shuyou and his current status in the entertainment industry, he is definitely in the best position.
.......
Boring daytime~
.......
The NHK Hall at night was full of people inside and outside.
This is the scene of the Red and White Song Concert, but the people outside are not all media. Instead, because of the gathering of stars, there are a lot of fans waiting outside, hoping to see their idols.
Even if today is a "bad day", it doesn't matter. You don't have to watch the Red and White Song Festival!
And many media are here for the last wave of traffic of the year... Even if they take a photo when the celebrity comes out, they will make a lot of money!
Junko Ito, Momoko Kikuchi, and others from Shuyu's affiliated companies all had to attend the Kohaku Utakara, so Naoki Nagayama followed Shuyu's car and took the internal passage when he came. If he came in through the main entrance, he might also be spotted by reporters.
Blocked at the door.
"Naoki-san, let's go prepare first..."
"Well, goddamn daddy!"
After getting off the bus, Ito Junko and Kikuchi Momoko hurried to the lounge. There wasn't enough space for them, and they were doing group projects, so they shared a large lounge.
Those who can attend the Record Awards tonight, such as Akina Nakamori and Shizuka Kudo who are attending the Record Awards, are popular idols who already have separate lounges.
They all left in a hurry together with their managers. They all had to work tonight, leaving only Naoki Nagayama who had nothing to do, waiting to enter the venue and sit down in the audience area.
Wandering around the NHK Hall, Nagayama Naoki didn't feel nervous at all. He was already familiar with this hall. The opening ceremony of the Tokyo International Film Festival was held here before.
But today everyone here has a mission, he is the only one who is idle~
"Naoki-san?!"
A sudden call made Naoki Nagayama turn his head, and it turned out to be an acquaintance - Hideki Saijo!
"Xicheng-san?! Why are you here too?"
Hideki Saijo, wearing a kimono, walked over with a smile.
"Of course I'm here to participate in the Red and White Song Festival! After all, I'm a famous artist! I'm an important backbone of the White Group!"
"Haha, so that's it..."
If I don’t say it, I almost forget that although Hideki Saijo has gone downhill, due to the previous TV series "Century of Love", he is now rejuvenated and is still very famous~
"Naoki-san, how come you haven't seen it before during rehearsals? Are you here as a guest today? Or are you here to accompany Miss Akina?"
"No... Akina is at the Record Awards now~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "I'm here to be an audience today, sitting in the audience and watching your performance! I'm just hanging out now~"
"That's really relaxing!"
Saijo Hideki sighed, he also wanted to sit in the audience and watch the performance live! But no, he wanted to make money! He also wanted to be exposed by the Kohaku Song Contest!
"By the way, the Record Awards are also live broadcast... Why don't you go to my lounge and have a look?"
"Is this... okay?"
"Of course!"
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and Hideki Saijo took Naoki Nagayama to the place where the guests were resting. He had already found a separate lounge. There was a sofa and a TV here, and it was not much different from the living room at home.
I turned on the TV and started watching the live broadcast of the Japan Record Awards...
"By the way, Naoki-san's "The Legend of Hayato" is about to be released, right?"
"Well, it will be released on the third day of the new year!" Nagayama Naoki said, "If Hideki-san is free, I can give you tickets~"
"Haha, I shouldn't have time...there are still announcements to catch up with!" For these artists, the holidays are their busiest time. "Sometimes I really envy Akina-chan...this year is the beginning of the new year.
There’s no need to rush the announcement!”
"Sigh... You guys have worked really hard~" Naoki Nagayama patted Hideki Saijo on the shoulder, "No matter when you come to the Art Studio in Ikebukuro and say my name, it's absolutely free!"
"Hahaha~ Thank you very much... If Naoki-san has something to do in the future, I will definitely support him immediately!"
Hideki Saijo doesn't care about the money of movie tickets, what he cares about is his relationship with Naoki Nagayama! In the upcoming "Hyatoden", Tomokazu Miura's role...
He feels that there is not much difference in image between himself and Miura Yuka. If he plays the role, he will not worry about lack of exposure for the next whole year!
"What song is Hideki-san performing today?"
"It's "BEAT STREET"..."
The two of them were chatting in the lounge while watching TV. Anyway, Saijo Hideki's performance was in the second half, so he was not in a hurry... until suddenly the door of the lounge rang, and then a man walked in.
The host also brought a cameraman and agent...
"...?" X5 looked at each other with five faces...
The host was also an acquaintance, Akashi saury... He looked at the two people in the lounge in surprise:
"Xicheng Hideki-san, and Nagayama Naoki-san?! Why are you in the same room?"
"...We met outside, let's chat..." Xicheng Hideki was the owner of the house after all. He stood up and replied, "Saury-san, what are you doing?"
"The behind-the-scenes interview!" Akashi saury was very excited about this surprise, "I didn't expect to meet Naoki Nagayama! This is really the big surprise today!"
"..." Naoki Nagayama also laughed, "It scared me just now. I thought the enemy was rushing in!"
"Hahaha, it's all about this suddenness!" Akashi's saury first asked, "Naoki-san, can you record the behind-the-scenes?"
Naoki Nagayama thought for a while. After all, he was the official of the Kohaku Song Association, and there was nothing he couldn’t do to meet people, so he agreed~
"I really didn't expect to meet Naoki-san in Hideki-san's lounge in the west city..." Akashi family saury asked the photographer to set up the camera, and then he started talking, "At least I thought I would be in Nakamori Akina's
Here’s the lounge!”
"Haha, Akina, she's still at the Record Awards..."
"So Naoki-san thinks Miss Akina Nakamori's chances of winning the prize?"
“Definitely a 100% winner!”
Nagayama Naoki has absolute confidence in Akina...and he actually already knows the award...how can such a grand prize not be known in advance!
"What a perfect husband..."
Akashi's saury also began to ask questions about why he was here in Xicheng Hideki today and what he was doing there.
Next to him, Hideki Saijo couldn't help but shook his head when he saw that the behind-the-scenes shooting team actually put him aside as the real owner and kept interviewing Naoki Nagayama.
According to Naoki-san's popularity in the entertainment industry, if he changes his career to become an idol artist, he will definitely be able to reach the top of male idols!
But they choose to be great directors, musicians, writers, and rich people... He is such an enviable guy!
The interview with Akashi Family Saury lasted more than ten minutes, which was three times as long as other artists... At the end of the day, I really wanted to leave, so I prepared to leave with some reluctance...
But at this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in his head:
"Naoki-san... do you want to come with us to interview Akina Nakamori from now on?!"
"Eh? But Akina won't be here until after nine o'clock..." Nagayama Naoki glanced at his watch, and it was only seven o'clock... The live broadcast of the Kohaku Utakai Festival has not officially started yet, "I'll go there later.
The audience is here..."
"Silly tape!" Akashi's saury became even more excited. He thought this tidbit must be very interesting, "We will invite Naoki-san over then...it's just a surprise for Akina-chan!"
"That's it..." Naoki Nagayama thought about not seeing each other all day, and nodded, "Okay then..."
Who knew Akashi’s saury wasn’t satisfied yet:
"Would you like to play a little trick on Akina-chan?"
"???" You said this in front of me?
.......
At 19:30 in the evening, the Showa 60 Red and White Song Festival officially began.
At this time, Naoki Nagayama was already sitting in the viewing seat closest to the main stage, watching the entire large-scale neon live broadcast live.
The host of this year’s red group is Masako Mori, and the host of the white group is Kenji Suzuki, both of whom are relatively familiar faces.
Nagayama Naoki watched the gorgeous opening dance unfold on the stage in front of him. The gorgeous singing costumes and the colorful stage complemented each other, making the atmosphere of the entire Kohaku Song Festival become enthusiastic from the beginning.
Next, the main players of the red group and the white group in the first half began to take the stage to introduce...
Junko Ito and Shizuka Kudo, who were on stage for the first time, were naturally photographed in the forefront. They became rivals and partners with the youth team, and they had to perform a group dance together~
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Nishikori Ichikiyo, Uekusa Katsuhide, Higashiyama Noriyuki..."
Naoki Nagayama looked at the people on the stage and felt quite emotional. Now the three people who were just backup dancers have become the second echelon of male idols except Toshihiko Tahara!
When we first met, we didn't even have a record released...
There was also a solo performance by Nahoko Kawai and others on the stage. Unexpectedly, Kyoko Koizumi actually arranged it for the second half... This energetic female idol has unknowingly become a higher star!
Nagayama Naoki watched the performance with great interest in the audience. He only felt that watching it live was more interesting than watching it on TV. He even forgot about the time...
until.....
"Naoki-san.... Naoki-san...."
A young man bent over and ran over in small steps, calling Nagayama Naoki,
"The Akashi saury asked me to remind you..."
"Ah!" Nagayama Naoki then remembered, "Okay, I'll be there right away..."
As he spoke, he bent down to avoid the camera and walked towards the side door... Over there, Akashi's saury was already waiting!
"Naoki-san... hurry up, I just got the news that Akina-chan is almost here!"
"Um, we are going now..."
"Let's go to Akina-chan's lounge!" Akashi's saury said, "I'm already angry with my agent. Originally, he didn't agree to the sudden interview, but after hearing that it was Naoki-san, he nodded..."
"Eh?"
"Don't worry, he said he would keep it a secret!"
"..." Fang Zesang already knew, and felt a little ashamed~
"We'll go in first later, and then after waiting for the signal, Naoki will go in!"
"What signal?"
"Naoki-san will know!"
Soon the group came to the room marked with Akina Nakamori's nameplate, and then saw Akiyuki Futonori standing at the door... Looking at Naoki Nagayama's eyes was a little strange...
The meaning in his eyes is probably "If you want to see your wife, you can come over and see me, why bother bringing a camera crew with you?"....
“Private Marseille....”
Akashi's saury communicated with Akiko Futonori very respectfully, and then knocked on the door and went in... Akina's coffee position is different now, so she has to be more sincere.
Standing at the door, Nagayama Naoki only heard some exclamations coming from the room, and then Akina smiled and accepted the interview...probably congratulations on winning the Record Award...
Yes, when Naoki Nagayama was watching the Red and White Song Concert, Akina had already taken home the trophy from the Record Awards!!!
Nagayama Naoki, who was a little bored, heard the Akashi saury say:
"So, we prepared a surprise gift for Akina!"
"Todoroki?" Akina said in a surprised voice, "What kind of surprise is it?"
I only heard a voice coming from the door: "Surprise gift outside the door, come in soon!!!"
"..." So this is a signal!
Nagayama Naoki opened the door and saw several pairs of eyes in the lounge looking over. Akina's eyes widened even more when she saw him. She was really shocked!
"Naoki-san!!!"
"Akina!" Nagayama Naoki walked over with a smile and gave Akina a tight hug, who covered her mouth. "Congratulations on winning the Record Award!"
"Naoki-san..." Akina happily hugged her husband, not caring that there were other people in the room~
"!!!"
Akashi's saury looked at this heartwarming scene and quickly motioned to the cameraman to take a picture. Then he looked at Akina Nakamori who was surprised and delighted and said:
"It looks like Akina-chan is very satisfied with the surprise gift I prepared!"
"What!" Under the camera, Nakamori Akina quickly adjusted her mood, "This surprise belongs to Naoki-san! I haven't seen the gift prepared by Saury-san! Where is it?"
"???You don't admit it so quickly?!"
The Akashi saury looked at Naoki Nagayama who was watching the show on the side,
"Naoki-san, would you like to say something?"
Naoki Nagayama saw Akina blinking at him, and suddenly he understood:
"I didn't see Saury-san's gift either... When I first came in, I was the only one outside..."
After finishing speaking, Nagayama Naoki and Nakamori Akina looked at each other and smiled together and stretched out their hands to the Akashi family saury:
"So...where is the gift you promised?! Saury-san is not a liar, right?!"
"!!!"
The two couples sang together, leaving Akashi's saury speechless for a moment~
