1080, I always feel like things are getting more and more interesting!!
"
.....
My name is Jun Hao (I really want to say loudly that I like you)
Yong気でstepみ出そう(Have the courage to take the first step)
....
"
Naoki Nagayama listened to the singing on the loudspeaker and felt that the singer was full of energy and a little cautious.
After summer, lively and passionate songs like "I Really Want to Say I Love You Loud" have once again gained popularity. Coupled with the success of Kudo Shizuka's Summer Collection album, this song has become popular again~
I used a song written by tree-friend leader Naoki Nagayama to participate in the tree-friend audition... thinking that the reviewer would definitely give Naoki Nagayama a face, right?!
"Huh...I didn't expect that the final reviewer would be me!"
The corners of Nagayama Naoki's mouth slightly raised, he was very disdainful of this little thought.
"Just let it go for you!"
Then he put the DEMO tape into the approved basket next to it, and randomly selected one tape from the alternative tapes and put it into the player.
For several sets in a row, the singing was mediocre, and it always felt like it was down a level from the previous ones....
"The working group made a mistake? Why has the quality dropped? I'll talk to them later!"
Nagayama Naoki replaced another disk and pressed the play button:
"
.......
When you dive into sadness
On the phone (when you call me crying)
Personally, I am telling you this.
Be strong
...
"
A good singer, even if he sings a cappella, will make people feel relaxed and happy. There seems to be some research that for such talented singers, the chest cavity will resonate with the voice, just like a human-shaped speaker.
When Naoki Nagayama heard the famous vaporwave song "Cathy", he was immediately attracted by the singing.
The young voice is a little less lazy than the original singer Dang Shantong, but more clear and moist. The soft and clear voice is like a mountain spring flowing with vitality...
"Such a voice..." Nagayama Naoki felt a little familiar but didn't seem to have any impression of it, "It's amazing!"
When I took out the tape and looked at it, the name written clearly was Sachiko Kamaiike from Kanagawa...
"It turns out to be Sister Quanshui..."
After subconsciously saying this, I suddenly realized that at my current age, I seemed to be older than Sakai Izumi... Thinking of this, Nagayama Naoki laughed,
"It turns out to be Sister Quan Shui... No wonder I didn't recognize it..."
At this age, Izumi Sakai is not yet an adult and does not have a mature and warm voice in the future!
Satisfied, Naoki Nagayama put this DEMO into the basket that passed. He even felt that this time "Voice of Neon" could select this player, which had accomplished his goal.
After several hours of listening to and reviewing the music, the basket to be reviewed was finally empty.
Nagayama Naoki counted the number of DEMOs that had passed the review and found that there were already more than forty, so he stopped and called the "Neon Sound" working team.
After a while, producer Kazuhisa Fujiwara walked into the office.
"Naoki-san, are you looking for me?"
"Yes." Nagayama Naoki asked Fujiwara Kazuhisa to sit down, and then handed him the reviewed tape basket, "Fujiwara-san, this is the player I think is OK so far..."
"Hi!"
Fujiwara took it and saw that there were dozens of tape records in the basket...
"The recording of "The Sound of Neon" will start in about a week, and these contestants for the first phase should be almost there." Naoki Nagayama said to Kazuhisa Fujiwara, "You can contact the contestants themselves now, and also invite their families.
come over...."
According to the program rules of "Neon Sound", the expressions and feelings of the contestants' relatives and friends are recorded when they sing on stage.
"I understand." Fujiwara Kazuku nodded, but still asked the question, "But Naoki-san, the working group is still receiving DEMOs... don't you need to listen to the rest?"
"No, if you find good players in the tape later, just select them directly..."
Nagayama Naoki's final review is just to ensure the quality of the first issue of "Neon Sound". Now that most of the contestants have been selected, the remaining ones will not have much impact on the overall situation, so it is better to just do it directly
Give power to the working group.
"In short, it will be fine as long as the final number of players does not exceed 60..."
Fujiwara Kazuhisa also heard what Nagayama Naoki meant and quickly assured:
"Hey, I'll take good care of it!"
"That's enough... Fujiwara-san, go and do your work~" Naoki Nagayama stood up and stretched, "Even if I'm done with my work today, I'm really tired... Get ready, I have to go back
!”
"..."
Are you tired after listening to music for several hours?!
Fujiwara was silent for a long time, and finally succumbed to the human world in the workplace.
"Naoki-san, thank you for your hard work. Please walk slowly..."
"Um...."
.......
After Fujiwara left, Naoki Nagayama took a few books and walked downstairs to the editing room to visit the people who were editing "Tiger of Ginza".
Knocking on the door of the editing room, several slovenly figures appeared in front of me...
Wrinkled clothes, random hairstyle, random stubble, pale cheeks, fairy-like dark circles under the eyes, and an ashtray full of cigarette butts, this image makes Nagayama Naoki inexplicably nostalgic.
This is what he looked like after working as a programmer 007 in his previous life. He was exactly the same except for the plaid shirt!
"Masataka-kun, Kijima-kun..." Nagayama Naoki greeted, "How many days have you not been back?!"
Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyon turned their heads and saw it was Nagayama Naoki before they cheered up and stood up. The other Matsuo Souo and Nishimoto Banyuki also hurriedly arranged their appearance.
"Naoki-san, you're here!"
"Although it is a good thing to work hard." Nagayama Naoki patted Kijima Xu's shoulder and felt that he had lost a lot of weight, "But your body is the most important!"
"It's better to go back and have a good rest, then come back and work overtime..."
Even the donkeys of the production team can't help feeling so distressed!
"Stupid tape!"
Kijima Kyū's body is a little weak, but his spirit is very high.
"Naoki-san, we can finish editing in two days!"
"Huh? So fast?"
Nagayama Naoki silently calculated, how long has it been... The shooting was completed at the beginning of July, and now... ah, it is almost the end of July...
During this period of time, I was preparing for "The Sound of Neon" and opening a milk tea shop, so time passed by unknowingly.
Time flies so fast!
"Yes, Naoki-san!" Komori Masataka also echoed beside him, "It's almost the end now, there are still Easter eggs and so on..."
"What Easter egg?" Nagayama Naoki also became curious.
"Didn't we film footage of Shuyou Capital before... in an office building..."
"Um...what's wrong?"
"In that office, there was a group photo of Shuyou Capital employees... including a photo of Naoki-san! We put that photo in the Easter egg..."
"..."
Ah... Shuyou Capital held a team building event at the end of last year and booked the most expensive sea view hotel in Tokyo Bay... At the end, we took a group photo...
"What's wrong?" Masataka Komori paused when he saw Nagayama Naoki, "Does Naoki-san think this easter egg is inappropriate?"
"Not really..."
Nagayama Naoki shook his head,
"Just put Easter eggs..."
Anyway, I am the sponsor of this movie, so at most everyone can just smile~
"By the way... In a few days, "Tiger of Ginza" will have a press conference for the completed editing and a subsequent preview... Will Naoki-san attend then?"
"I won't participate~" Naoki Nagayama said, "otherwise the media will chase me and ask me some questions... and there will be less attention paid to the movie itself."
"That's right..." Kijima Xu nodded, "Naoki-san is a topic of conversation wherever he goes!"
"..."
Several people talked about some movie-related things. The sharp-eyed Matsuo Souo saw the book under Nagayama Naoki's arm and was a little curious:
"Naoki-san, what are you holding?"
"Ah..." Nagayama Naoki then remembered and quickly distributed the novel to the four people, "This is the novel I will publish later, a trial version, given to everyone as a souvenir..."
Nagayama Naoki brought more than a dozen books from home to the company, intending to give them to Otomo Yoshimura and other friends. Masataka Komori and the others have also had a hard time this month, so I also gave them to them as condolences~
"Oh?" "Novel?" "Naoki-san's?"
Komori Masataka and others took it, their faces were not only curious but also excited. This was a trial version that had not yet been released for sale.
"Jurassic Park... a dinosaur novel?"
"Has Naoki-san changed his writing direction?"
"..."
Everyone started discussing the content of Naoki Nagayama’s new book.
........
Later, after a busy day, Sachiko Kamaike returned to the cramped temporary dormitory.
There are two part-time models living together, which makes the already insufficient dormitory even more crowded. Even showering and washing clothes have to be done in turns.
"I'm so tired..."
After taking a bath, Kamai Sachiko lay on the tatami and felt her whole body relaxed. She didn't even want to eat... Fortunately, it was summer and there was no need to make a bed or anything.
Don't compare yourself to top models like Victoria's Secret. Ordinary modeling is a very tiring profession, especially a clothing model like her. She has to stand for several hours every day, do hundreds of poses, and change dozens or hundreds of sets of clothes.
....
Magazine companies will not treat you as a human being. In their eyes, you are just a clothes hanger who can move~
They paid money, so naturally they want to take the most photos in the shortest time~
After resting for a while, Kamachi Sachiko reluctantly sat up. There were two things she must do every night, one was to call home, and the other was to call her boyfriend...
However, there was no telephone installed in the dormitory, so she had no choice but to go out and find a phone booth.
"Moses Moses, this is the Puchi family..."
A gentle voice came from the microphone, and Kamachi Sachiko even had the urge to cry when she heard it.
"Ogasan...it's me..."
"Sachiko!" The voice on the phone also became happy, "Is today's work over? Did dinner taste good?..."
"Well... I came back soon... It's too hot and I have no appetite..."
The nagging daily questions are the most soothing thing, and Kamachi Sachiko felt that her tired body and mind were slowly relaxing.
After talking for a while, I heard some noisy voices coming from the other side of the phone. It seemed like my sister Minako was shouting "Let me speak", "Let me speak..." and so on. Then my mother turned on the phone.
Passed it to Minako Kamaike.
"Onesan!!! Big news!!!"
"..."
The sudden call from the phone forced Kamachi Sachiko to put the phone away from her ears...
"It's too loud! Minako... is deafened!"
"Onesan, good news! Good news!" Although the pressure was forced down, Kamai Sachiko was still full of excitement, "Onesan, we have been selected!"
"??What?"
"That audition! "The Sound of Neon"!!" Minako Kamaike said quickly, "Someone from the program team called home this afternoon! They said that Nathan, your DEMO has been selected to participate in the recording!"
"mine?"
Kamike Sachiko was a little confused. She just couldn't resist Minako's request and just sent the tape by the way...
"Yes, the uncle from the program team said he would invite our whole family to come to Tokyo! We can shoot together! We can also reimburse the accommodation expenses!"
Minako Kamaike was filled with excitement and joy, and spoke like a machine gun,
"It's the weekend. My parents and my brother can all come together. We can meet in Tokyo soon!"
"..."
A series of words came out of her sister's mouth quickly. The sharp voice and the large amount of information made it difficult for Kamai Sachiko's brain to accept it for a while.
I can't even get a word in...
"Weekend? TV station recording?"
"Ah... Onessan, hurry up and remember this phone number: 025-55686X... Remember to reply to the program team... They will explain it to you... Don't forget to call it.
!”
At the end, when I hung up the phone in a daze and walked out of the phone booth, I only remembered that I had been selected by "The Sound of Neon" and was about to go to the TV station to record the program.
Even having to talk to my boyfriend on the phone, I forgot about it for the time being~
The temperature at night has become much more comfortable. Walking on the streets of Ikebukuro, the lights of the shops on both sides and the street lights on both sides of the road are shining brightly. The colorful neon lights flash with a dazzling halo, showing Kamai Sachiko the elegance of the city that never sleeps. However,
But she had no intention of appreciating it.
When I walked to a store, I found a poster of "The Sound of Neon" posted on the glass door in front of the store...
And this shop is exactly that delicious milk tea shop....
Sachiko Kamaike subconsciously pushed open the door of the Mixue Milk Tea shop, letting the bell on the doorrail make a crisp sound~
“Welcome~”
Tsuruko and Ishii Junsui said hello at the same time.
"Ah..." Kamai Sachiko didn't understand why she came in for a moment, "Are the milk tea shops still open?"
Ishii Junsui smiled and said:
"We'll be open until 9 o'clock!"
It opens at 10 a.m. and stays open until 9 p.m., which is the current business hours of Mixue Milk Tea...because there are too few customers before 10 a.m., and young people's nightlife only starts after get off work!
Of course, it’s also because I did make a lot of money during this period!
“If you don’t have any ideas, our store recommends the signature Yangzhi Binglu... very suitable for girls’ tastes...”
"Then...let's have one~"
It happened to be dinner time, and there were no customers in the store for the time being. Kamaike Sachiko sat down at the small table, looked around, and found something to say when she had nothing to say.
"Why are there all kinds of drinks in the store that I haven't heard of before?"
"Because they are all original!" Junsui Ishii said with a smile, "We are the only ones in Tokyo who have them for the time being!"
"Original?"
"Yeah...such as hand-made lemon tea, Yangzhi Binglu..." Ishii Junsui pointed to the menu on the wall and said, "These are milk tea drinks invented by the store manager..."
"Store manager?" Kamaike Sachiko looked at Tsuruko who was making milk tea.
"Ah, it's not her! The same goes for those two big guys..." Ishii Junsui shook his head, "Her name is Nagayama Tsuruko. She is a laborer like me. My name is Ishii Junsui...
.”
"...."
Isn’t that imposing young lady the store manager? Then who is the store manager who is so talented and able to invent so many varieties of milk tea?!
He must be a foodie!
Seeing Junsui Ishii looking at him after he finished speaking, Kamachi Sachiko suddenly realized:
"Ah, my name is Kamai Sachiko, it's our first time meeting you... please give me your advice!"
"Haha, this isn't the first time we've met!"
"Hi~"
Speaking of which, they should be about the same age... But Junsui Ishii couldn't help but laugh when he saw Sachiko Kamaike's introverted look... She seemed to be a very cold lady, but she was unexpectedly surprised.
So cute.
"Is this your first time in Tokyo, Kamachi-san?"
Hezi brought Yang Zhibing dew and started chatting when no one was around.
"Hi, I'm here to work during the summer vacation..."
"Hoo? You actually came to Tokyo to work?"
"Yes, working as a part-time model..."
Perhaps because she has gained experience by opening a store and dealing with customers a lot, Tsuruko is now more eloquent and good at chatting. After a while, she learned the basic information about Kamai Sachiko, where her family is, how old she is, and where she went to university.
etc.
But this is already the limit of ordinary friends. If you continue, it will definitely make people wary, so Tsuruko stopped.
Kamai Sachiko, on the other hand, tasted the sweetness of the milk tea and felt very happy... At least in this strange city, she had made two friends...
Thinking of the poster posted at the door, she asked:
"Nagayama-san, Ishii-san...are you familiar with the "Sound of Neon" event?"
"Eh? You should know him very well, right?"
After all, it was a program planned by his brother, and Tsuruko wanted to try it out when it first started. Naturally, he had to find out more about it on a first-come-first-served basis.
But judging from his brother's expression during the on-site review, his singing voice had absolutely no chance!
Because of this, Nagayama Tsuruko angrily beat his brother many times...
But fortunately Chun Shui-chan didn't pass the screening...
"Are you interested too, Taichi-san?"
"Hi... I was begged by my sister to sign up... I just received the news that I passed the screening and will go to participate in the recording of the show..."
Kamachi Sachiko asked while drinking milk tea,
"Do you know what is going on with "The Sound of Neon"? What exactly are you going to record? What does the blind audition mean..."
"...."
Tsuruko and Ishii Junsui looked at each other... The guest they met randomly was actually a selected contestant of "The Sound of Neon"?!
In that case, Miss Sachiko Kamaiike must have a very good singing voice, the kind that can be recognized by her brother!
I always feel like things are getting more and more interesting~
