On the way to dinner with Akina Nakamori, Naoki Nagayama asked about their itinerary.
Nagayama Naoki will go to New York at the end of February to participate in a writer's seminar and exchange, while Xiao Akina will go to Warner Recording Studio in Los Angeles for recording in mid-March.
"So, we are not on the same route~" Nagayama Naoki said while driving, "Hahaha, one east and one west~"
"The time is also different." Xiao Mingcai was a little disappointed, "I thought I would meet Naoki-san at the airport. New York, I really want to see it~"
"Hahaha, there's nothing I can do about it~" Naoki Nagayama said, "How about this, Akina-san brings me specialties from Los Angeles, and I also bring some special New York gifts to Akina. How about this counts as a trip?"
"Okay, Naoki-san, take some more photos and send them to me. When you show them to others, tell them that you have been to New York and make them envious~hahaha~" Xiao Mingcai laughed darkly.
....
Since they all talked about foreign countries, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori found a foreign restaurant in Shibuya at noon.
“Why Thai food?”
Nagayama Naoki was a little puzzled. Didn’t he just say that he wanted to try foreign flavors because he wanted to go to rice crackers?
"Because you can eat authentic American food next week. You don't have to eat it now, but that's not necessarily the case with Thai food." Xiao Mingcai said plausibly.
It seems quite reasonable. If you want to treat someone, of course you should listen to the other person’s opinion.
Speaking of Thai food, the most famous ones should be Tom Yum Goong, curry, seafood, coconut water... The sour and spicy taste is indeed very appetizing. Eat a sour and spicy Thai food on such a spring day.
Not bad indeed.
"Akisai-san, you want it to be a little spicy, right~"
"Hi~" Xiao Mingcai, who was sitting there, had already opened the condiments on the table and looked at it, like a child who couldn't sit still.
"Then let's start with Thai curry crab, barbecue sausage platter, tom yum soup and seafood fried rice~" Nagayama Naoki asked Akina opposite, "What would you like Akina-san?"
“Thai coconut chicken, then green papaya salad, coconut water~”
Sure enough, it is the mustard soju dish in the future. The two famous spicy dishes are not afraid at all.
However, Naoki Nagayama added a side of mango ice cream just to be on the safe side. If you really can’t stand it, you can change the flavor.
Eight courses for two people, it feels a bit luxurious~
However, the girl's dish in front of me is obviously not as spicy as the wasabi shochu dish in the future.
However, after eating a dish of Coconut Chicken, my face started to turn red, my forehead started to sweat, and my mouth started making the signature spicy intake sound~
"Mingcai-san, why don't you have some ice cream to calm down?"
"Silly tape! Ice cream must be eaten at the end to be the most delicious!" Xiao Mingcai said as if it was a truth known to everyone, then took a sip of coconut green juice and started to eat green papaya salad again, "Eat this
It’ll be nice if it’s cold!”
Is it really okay to have such obvious red pepper shreds?
Nagayama Naoki has already finished the curry crab. Although it is very spicy, the portion is not much. Now he is eating his own barbecue. This one is not bad, it is spicy just right, and the tom yum soup is very sour and refreshing.
By the time they were eating paella, Xiao Mingcai was already stuffing spoonfuls of ice cream into her mouth. It looked like she ordered the ice cream pretty well, but she didn't know if she would have diarrhea at night...
They had to go to training in the afternoon. The two of them didn't stay in the restaurant for long and sent them directly to the office.
The spring sunshine was very bright. Nagayama Naoki opened the convertible and drove it slowly in the driveway. The slight cool breeze blew on his cheeks that had become hot from eating spicy food, which was very comfortable.
"Akarina-san, you are about to debut, how do you feel?"
"I don't feel much about my debut, it's just that I've been very busy recently and haven't seen my mother for half a month."
Akina Nakamori was a little disappointed. Ever since she lived in the employee apartment provided by the office, the frequency of seeing her family members had dropped sharply, and she couldn't even see her past acquaintances.
Although there are telephones, they cannot replace real-person communication.
"Akina-san... although it's a little cruel, but after my real debut, I will be even busier, and even my holidays will be luxurious."
Nagayama Naoki thought of his own new artist Ito Junko. In the past two weeks, he has been on the road from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. This is just an idol artist from a small start-up agency with few resources, like Kenyin.
With the resources of the firm and the consortium behind it, Xiao Mingcai's schedule will only become busier.
"I know~" Nakamori Akina's face flashed with determination, and she looked at Nagayama Naoki, "Naoki-san, but to be an idol, these are all things you have to go through, right?"
"Hey, people will go through this period before they become famous. It's inevitable."
"Then just keep working hard!"
Xiao Mingna seemed to have made up her mind a long time ago, with a determined smile on her face, which made Naoki Nagayama next to her admire her.
"Then go for it~ As a fan, I will support you to the end!"
"Hahaha~"
After the laughter gradually stopped, there seemed to be a brief silence in the car, and no one thought about what to say further.
Suddenly Xiao Mingcai thought of something and said:
"Naoki-san doesn't seem to be at that stage."
"Ah?"
"Naoki-san, before you became famous now, you didn't seem to be that busy!"
???
Who said that!
Although we don’t have it in this life, we shouldn’t have too little 007 experience in our previous life!
"Akarina-san, actually I have had this experience too!"
"Eh~~~" Akina's eyes seemed to show disbelief...
"real!"
Until arriving at Yanyin's office,
Nagayama Naoki couldn't make Xiao Akina believe that he had experienced that kind of hard work.
Spending days and nights without sleep to promote a movie? This is too weak~
After Akina got out of the car, she waved to Nagayama Naoki,
"Don't forget the gift~"
"Hi~"
...
In the mountain cherry garden,
Taro trotted to welcome his master back,
Naoki Nagayama would be even happier if he didn't have a food bowl in his mouth.
The cherry blossoms in the yard are even more beautiful. The small pink and white flowers are clustered on the branches, covering the brown branches, like a pink cloud floating next to the Yamazakura Yard.
"It's so beautiful~" Nagayama Naoki touched Yutaro who was cooking, "Yutaro, our cherry blossoms should be early cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms in other places in Tokyo rarely bloom so well~"
This afternoon, everything was settled, leaving Nagayama Naoki with an undisturbed afternoon.
To a certain extent, Xiao Mingcai is right. She made a movie, released a song, and bought a house so leisurely. Compared with other hard-working social animals, it seems a little unfair.
.
Well, that’s okay, life is inherently unfair~
Some people are born as heirs to a financial group, and are born to stand in the key points that many people can't achieve despite their hard work throughout their lives; while some people are born into poor families and have to do their best for three meals a day.
Some people are born with a good-looking face, and some people have a smart mind...
Letting these thoughts roll around in my mind, a gust of wind blew, and the cherry trees in the courtyard rustled, and the petals of the cherry blossoms flew in the wind, falling heavily on the fine white sand in the courtyard.
Some people can enjoy such a beautiful scenery to themselves at this moment~
A beautiful emotional rhythm began to sound in Nagayama Naoki's mind, and a gentle female voice sang softly when the cherry blossoms were flying,
""Cherry color dance うころWhen the cherry blossoms are in bloom"
"I'm alone"
"It's hard to control the chest of the chest"
"Standing to the end and always standing"
.....
Sure enough, it came again, Naoki Nagayama calmed down, and Mika Nakajima's "Cherry Blossoms Dance",
It's been a long time since I recalled the songs from my previous life. I originally thought that my "golden finger" would slowly disappear like this, but I didn't expect that it would suddenly come to me at this time.
Every emotional touch and keyword connection can mobilize more than 30 years of information from the past life from the subconscious. As Naoki Nagayama stays here longer and longer, this ability to mobilize the subconscious should gradually decrease.
~
Naoki Nagayama already had a mature way of dealing with things that suddenly came to his mind. He immediately ran to the piano room on the second floor and recorded the song while his memory was still fresh.
I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so let me relate this piece of music. There happened to be cherry blossom trees in full bloom outside the window of the piano room, and Naoki Nagayama opened the window:
"Sakura-kun, please be my audience~"
From the window on the second floor of Sanzakuin, bursts of beautiful piano melody came out, with a touch of sadness in the soothing rhythm~
...
Earlier, Warner Pioneer's Terahashi Chao was discussing the arrangement of Akina's debut song with Nobuo Tomioka.
"I picked out these four songs out of 10, but it became more difficult to choose after that." Nobuo Tomioka told Terahashi Chao.
"Nobuo-kun, are there any interesting new songs this month?" Teralin Chao asked. From the current rankings, we can see the genre of music that the audience currently likes.
Si Linchao has been busy recently and has not paid attention to the list in time.
"Matsuda Seiko's Red Sweet Pea (Red Sweet Pea) is still on the rise, so it should be no problem if it reaches the top of the Oricon chart." Nobuo Tomioka thought for a while, "The rest are relatively conventional songs."
"Oh, the latest debut song, "パズル" (Puzzle) by newly debuted Ito Junko, has been rising rapidly in the rankings recently, and it may break into the top ten."
"In addition, there is an old song from last year that became popular and may be ranked in the top 20."
Hearing this result, Teran Linchao also felt very interesting, "Nobuo-san, please help me find these singles. I want to listen to them."
"Hey, I got it."
Teran Chao continued: "If you really can't choose the debut song, why not let Akinajiang choose it yourself."
Chao Teraba and Nobuo Tomioka are both deeply touched by the stubborn personalities of their own artists. Maybe it would be better if they could choose for themselves.
"I remember Ming Cai Jiang went to a movie preview in the morning, right? Are you back?" Teralin Chao asked, thinking of the intense course schedule in the past two months, "Ming Cai Jiang has been really hard lately, relax.
That’s fine~”
Nobuo Tomioka responded: "I should be back soon. There will be a training session in the afternoon."
"Well, let's talk to Akina-chan before we go~"
"Hi~"
At noon, before Kenyin's manager sent Akina Nakamori to class, Nobuo Tomioka stopped them.
"Akina-chan, was the movie this morning good? What was it called?"
"Hahaha, Nobuo-san, the movie is called "The Gas Station Robbery Incident". It's very good. It's a comedy~" Nakamori Akina's face was full of smile, and then she said mysteriously, "Nobuo-san, if you go and watch it,
If so, remember to watch the end, there are easter eggs at the end!”
"Hahaha, is that so? If Akina-chan recommends it so much, you must go see it." Nobuo Tomioka said with a smile, "Did you say when the movie will be released?"
"I really don't know about this. Today is the trial screening~ It shouldn't be far away." Xiao Mingcai thought about it, and she really didn't say the screening time, "Hey, I'll ask Naoki-san for you tonight."
"Naoki-san?" Nobuo Tomioka was stunned, "Naoki Nagayama?"
"Hi, Naoki-san is the protagonist of this movie!" Akina Nakamori smiled brightly, feeling proud.
Wow! I didn’t expect this!
Nobuo Tomioka seemed to have been struck by lightning. Yes, Naoki Nagayama was a movie actor! Why didn’t I think of him at the time?
In that case, it was Naoki Nagayama who invited Akina-chan to the preview today!
I failed to take all precautions!
A small hand waved in front of his eyes, bringing him back to his senses: "Nobuo-san? What's wrong? You suddenly stopped talking?"
Nobuo Tomioka forced a smile and thought about changing the topic: "It's nothing. Oh, by the way, if I have to go to training in the afternoon, have you had lunch?"
"Hi, I just came here after eating. I ate Thai food with Naoki-san." Xiao Mingcai didn't notice that Tomioka Nobuo's face turned a little darker, and introduced the characteristics of Thai food with great interest.
Listening to the little cabbage introduced there, Tomioka Nobuo felt that his own cabbage was about to be dug up.
"No, we can't have this kind of free time like Akina-chan!" He made up his mind, "Even if I have a free vacation, I must arrange to take a vacation while working."
Otherwise, they will be poached by others~
In the end, Nakamori Akina went to the training class, and Tomioka Nobuo even forgot about telling her to choose a song.
Forget it, let's talk about it later when we have an opportunity. Nobuo Tomioka suppressed his emotions and decided to find out the songs of Chao Terabayashi first.
Record companies like Warner Pioneer always store new songs on the market in their offices, and Seiko Matsuda's single is at the top.
He also easily found the tape of "Puzzle" (Puzzle), but after flipping through it, it was clear on the back of the tape that the singer was Junko Ito; the lyrics and music were composed by Naoki Nagayama.
Nobuo Tomioka wanted to throw the tape to the ground at that time, but he held it back with decades of xinxing cultivation!
"Junko Ito is indeed an artist from his family, and that's normal~"
Next, there was the popular song, "さくら~あなたに出会えてよかった~" (Sakura Sakura Wants to See You). It took me a while but I found it. On the front of the tape was a photo of Yoshie Kashiwahara.
Well, Kashiwahara Yoshie's song is pretty good~ Tomioka Nobuo flipped it over casually, singing: Kashiwahara Yoshie; lyrics and music: Naoki Nagayama.
Other employees at Warner suddenly heard a "pop" coming from the office.
There was also a low-volume roar:
"What a shame! This guy is still haunting me!!!"
...
Returning to the office of "Weekly Bunshun", Matsuzawa Shinnosuke sat on the chair dejectedly.
"Failed again!"
During the interview on "The Gas Station Robbery Incident", I still didn't get the dirty information I wanted.
Although titles such as "A famous actor's idol hasn't debuted yet" or "A celebrity's teenage idol" seem to be able to attract a lot of attention, they are not exciting enough~
Wait, don’t you remember that Nagayama Naoki first said that he was a fan of Matsuda Seiko?
I might have misremembered, so Matsuzawa Shinnosuke quickly stood at the clue wall to confirm.
The first song "チェリーブラッサム" (Sakura) is indeed dedicated to Matsuda Seiko!
Shinnosuke Matsuzawa started looking for relevant reports based on the song's time points, as well as the keywords of Matsuda Seiko and Nagayama Naoki, and then found a press release that said "Matsuda Seiko was so moved, fans contributed songs to the top of the Oricon chart!"
.
"Ha, I found it! Let me see, as a die-hard fan of Seiko Matsuda, I was so moved that I wrote such a song..."
Matsuzawa Shinosuke was excited, Nagayama Naoki, I found your flaw!
