165, I have brought you the most important thoughts!
...
The vacation is theirs, not Nagayama Naoki's~
Although I enjoyed the rare opportunity to wake up naturally, things started to happen one by one after breakfast.
...
Taking advantage of his free time, Naoki Nagayama called Keiko Fujita directly in the morning.
I drove to the real estate company and completed the long-delayed signing and payment.
The process of buying a used clock shop in Silver Valley is 90% complete.
When I got the real estate certificate, I bought another house, one step closer to my goal of being a big landowner.
But my wallet is empty again~
...
I'm going to make a record next,
The sound was recorded yesterday, but he, the producer, still needs to go to the recording studio to make final adjustments, mix, and export the master tape, so that it can finally be made into a real record.
When Naoki Nagayama arrived, Otomo Yoshimura had already arrived.
The staff has already adjusted the preliminary track divisions.
The large and small switches and buttons on the recording studio's turntable are not something that ordinary people can understand, not even Naoki Nagayama. Fortunately, there are supporting staff to help.
From the recorded tape, select the appropriate clips, record the mixing record, and then mix and polish it over and over again, and finally export it. This is the method of making a song master.
It is very detailed and time-consuming. Sometimes producers and mixers have to adjust it many times before they can get the final satisfactory effect. However, for people like Nagayama Naoki who already have formed song memories, the speed is much faster~
Even so, it took a whole morning.
Said to Yoshimura Otomo who had been waiting aside:
"Otomo-san, the master tape is ready. From now on, it's up to you."
Yoshimura Otomo has already contacted the production company, but the subsequent distribution and promotion will need to be handled by GG Office itself, which is a big challenge.
"Hey, leave it to me!"
The promotion plan has been prepared for a long time. As a start-up office, records generally cannot be spread directly across the country. Taking Ito Junko to visit acupuncture points, posting announcements, and holding activities in various regions are all what Yoshimura Otomo must do. It is estimated that the next few
For months, it’s hard to see Fangcun Otomo free.
We really need to find an assistant for Otomo-san...
...
Nagayama Naoki, who had worked hard all morning, had no intention of going home immediately.
Although there is Taro waiting at home, he ate late in the morning, so he shouldn’t be hungry at this time.
The recording studio is at the junction of Nakano, Shibuya, and Shinjuku. It is a mixed area of residential area and commercial area. It is not as prosperous as Shibuya's high-rise buildings, and it is not like Nakano area where all the houses are built with one family.
The shopping streets here are all small shops opened by locals, but the buildings facing the street are all neatly decorated with signboards and Western-style architectural shapes. The inside of the shops is indeed a traditional Japanese wooden structure, giving people a strange mix of...
The feeling of fragmentation.
This feeling of fragmentation seems to spread throughout the entire shopping street. The street is a clean and vigorous cement pavement, but the wires on the telephone poles on the street are messy and disorderly. Sometimes they are even entangled with shop signs.
It was obviously a colorful neon sign, but a gas street light suddenly appeared.
There is a traditional Japanese archway at the intersection of the shopping street, but it is built with a steel structure.
Neatness and disorder, Westernization and tradition, modernity and the past... These strong contrasts can be seen at any time in this shopping street.
Japan in the Showa era was also in this stage of rapid development, and people were undergoing major and violent changes, both materially and spiritually.
We found an ordinary izakaya and ordered a home-cooked omelette rice set for lunch. Unexpectedly, even the soup was replaced with soda.
If it were a traditional Japanese restaurant, customers might complain about this, but in an izakaya on a shopping street, this combination of Chinese and Western food is inexplicably harmonious.
Suddenly, Naoki Nagayama thought of what the watch shop in Silver Valley would be used for.
That small wooden building between high-rise buildings is located in the most prosperous and cutting-edge area like Silver Valley, but it is a very traditional one-family house. Doesn't this special contrast represent the characteristics of the rapidly changing times of the Showa era?
Otherwise, just open a teahouse there that has nothing to do with money. Surrounded by the noisy and noisy financial world, only this teahouse is a peaceful and slow daily life.
...
After returning to Yamasakura-in, nothing happened for a while.
Taro is already eating high-end dog food. As his teeth become stronger, it doesn't matter if they are a little bit hard. There is no need to soak them until they are soft.
The afternoon sun was still shining brightly, and Nagayama Naoki decided to take the little one out for a walk.
After all, this period of time is very busy, and I don’t even have time to hang out.
Touching Taro's round belly,
"Yingtaro, after you're full, I'll take you out to exercise. Look at you, you're already chubby~"
At this time, the little guy was completely immersed in the deliciousness of the dog food and only hummed a few times in response to the owner's words.
The environment in Chiyoda is different from that in Nakano.
Chiyoda belongs to the kind of area that is relatively thoroughly Westernized. There are relatively few single-family houses. Even if there are, they tend to be pseudo-Western style, with more apartment buildings and office buildings.
It's strange here. There are many people working and relatively few people living here.
In the afternoon, most people were in nearby offices, and the flow of people on the street was very sparse. Nagayama Naoki, who was holding Yotaro's hand, could take a walk without any worries.
I just thought of opening a teahouse, and then I remembered the tea served by Mr. Qingshan. I haven't seen the old man for a long time, so I happened to have some time, so I went to take a look.
"Yingtaro, go this way, to the Qingshan store."
Naturally, the little thing doesn't know the road, but of course it's right to follow the master. What's more, there are so many unseen street trees on the road. I, Taro, have to leave my own mark!
Nagayama Naoki watched helplessly as the little dog crossed its hind legs every time it passed a tree... By the way, why did you pee like this...
The Qingshan store is finally open for business, although there is still no one around.
"Mr. Qingshan, are you here?"
"Please wait a moment and you'll be here soon!" A voice came from the back room, and then the curtain opened and an old man in kimono came out.
"Eh? Mr. Qingshan, why have you lost so much weight?!" Looking at the old man who had obviously lost weight, Naoki Nagayama asked with concern,
"Ah, it's Naoki, you kid!" Nobu Aoyama said nonchalantly after seeing Nagayama Naoki, "The cold I had at the beginning of the year turned into pneumonia without paying attention."
"Is this...serious?"
For people of this age, the body's resistance is not strong enough, and a minor illness is likely to turn into a serious illness. However, it seems that Mr. Qingshan is in good spirits and should have recovered.
"Ha, the tape is completely healed." Nobu Aoyama was very happy to see Naoki Nagayama, "Is Naoki-san passing by?"
“Last time I passed by, I saw that the store was not open, so I came here specifically to take a look this time.”
Aoyama Nobu was even happier: "Did you come here specifically to visit me, an old guy? Didn't Naoki-san bring any condolence gifts?"
Why did you switch to condolences? Isn’t it the most important thing?
"Mr. Qingshan, I have brought you the most important thoughts!"
"Hahahaha~ Thank you so much Naoki-san!" Nobu Aoyama was very happy after teasing the young man, "In that case, please stay and have a cup of tea."
