When Nagayama Naoki got up the next day, he felt dizzy for the first time in a long time. He was hit~
Even a young body, despite being tired and cold, still receives a slap from winter, which is accompanied by other symptoms such as fatigue, nasal congestion, runny nose, etc.
"Oh~~~" Naoki Nagayama, who was hopeless, lay on the big bed in the room, "I originally wanted to go shopping in Osaka, but now I'm fine."
Fortunately, we are in a high-end hotel, so we can ask the front desk staff to help buy cold medicines and other items, and breakfast is also delivered to the room by the waiter.
After eating the hot seafood porridge, I felt a lot more energetic. I rested for a long time in the morning, and the cold medicine I took before was slowly taking effect. Before noon, the symptoms had been relieved a lot, and at least I could go there freely.
This is the restaurant that I want to go to. After dinner, Naoki Nagayama doesn’t plan to spend the rest of the time in a hotel.
Since it’s only half a day, you won’t be able to see most of the scenic spots, but you must visit Osaka’s castle tower.
My own Samaiju in Ginza is built based on the style of the castle tower. I want to see it with my own eyes.
Drive to Osaka Castle Park, and then follow the road signs to Osaka Castle. Along the way, you can see lush trees, which are still vibrant even in winter. Walk along the road, and you will soon see the first moat.
It’s usually called “Outerbori” in Japan. Then you can walk into the castle from the Sakura Gate of Uchibori, and finally you can have a panoramic view of Osaka Castle.
Osaka Castle, built under the orders of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and later rebuilt by Tokugawa Ieyasu, is a symbol of Osaka.
Among them, the most famous castle tower has been rebuilt many times before it became the magnificent Japanese-style attic it is today with white walls and green tiles. Each of its upturned eaves is decorated with tigers or figures made of gold foil.
The golden owl shape of the dragon head and fish body shines golden in the sun, making the castle tower more luxurious.
There are beautiful gardens, pavilions, and exotic flowers and plants near the castle tower wall. If you come in spring and summer, you may be able to see the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms all over the sky.
Of course Nagayama Naoki also brought a camera this time. The castle tower in winter is a bit more solemn, and the remaining snow also makes this fortress battlefield that has experienced fighting even more chilly.
The castle tower taken at this time may be what it should look like.
After spending an hour or two playing around, the entire Daban City was completed. Nagayama Naoki walked to his parking space with satisfaction.
Next we have to go to Akina's concert. If it starts at 5 o'clock, the performance will not officially start until about 6 o'clock.
The Housheng Pension Hall in Osaka often holds various concerts, parties, etc. The medium-sized hall can accommodate a thousand people.
When Naoki Nagayama arrived, he found that a large number of fans had already gathered at the door, and in the parking lot not far away, there were actually guards rehearsing support chants.
Speaking of which, it was really a mistake not to get any support props this time. I need to think of a way.
After parking the car, Naoki Nagayama blended into the group of fans and started chatting with them.
"Is this Akina Nakamori's first concert in Osaka?" asked a newbie,
Afterwards, old fans naturally popularized it for him: "Of course not, it happened once in early November, and it's still here!"
"Hang Douni? It's such a pity that I didn't come last time!"
"Really? I just became a fan of Akina-chan after listening to the song "Second Love"."
"It's obviously "Girl A" so it's even cooler!"
A group of boys and girls gathered together to discuss Akina's songs. Naoki Nagayama quickly got involved with a group of old fans because of his understanding of Akina.
When the club opened, he already had a small flag in his hand, and then there was a support poster of Akina.
As people entered the venue to check for tickets, Naoki Nagayama was holding a ticket for a related person. Naturally, it was the best seat in the front row. It cost at least 3,000 yen to buy it.
If you put it this way, a concert with 1,000 people can already earn almost 3 million from the tickets alone, not to mention the income from more expensive peripherals, signed records, etc.
When Akina Nakamori becomes more famous, it is estimated that 4,5,000 people will attend each concert. If the ticket price increases a little more, one concert will generate tens of millions of dollars in revenue. If we only count four concerts a month, there will be hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
After collecting it, it would be at least a billion dollars a year. Concerts are indeed very profitable.
It took more than half an hour to check in. Nagayama Naoki walked to the seat according to the number on the ticket. Sure enough, it was right in front of the stage, the kind of seat where you can interact with the performers.
The huge venue was slowly filled with fans, and the buzzing sound began to get louder and louder. Everyone was looking forward to Akina's arrival. Next to Naoki Nagayama were two girls who came together. At this time, they were also
We were chatting excitedly about Akina, what clothes she would wear for singing, etc.
Originally, Nagayama Naoki was just eavesdropping quietly, but suddenly a female voice next to him said
"Akina-chan is good at everything, it would be nice if she were a little thinner~"
"The chubby ones are also very cute!"
Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but laugh out loud. Even though he was wearing a mask, the two girls noticed it. The one who was closer was not shy, but asked openly: "You are also a fan of Akina, right?"
Well, from a boy’s point of view, wouldn’t Akina be more beautiful if she were thinner?”
"Ah, for that matter," Naoki Nagayama said muffledly while wearing a mask. Anyway, the cold symptoms were almost gone, Nagayama Naoki took it off directly, "From my aesthetic point of view, it would look better to have a little flesh on the face~
"
So the girl who just asked the question said to another girl: "Look, handsome guys like plump girls!"
The round-faced girl nodded in agreement: "So let's forget about losing weight first!"
Under the dim light, the two girls did not recognize who Naoki Nagayama was, but he must be a handsome guy.
Naoki Nagayama, who was suddenly given a label, couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, uniform slogans came from the audience, and Akina's personal support group began to exert their strength. The rhythmic slogans coupled with body movements immediately inspired the fans present.
Soon, the sound in the venue was as loud as the sky, calling for today's protagonist to appear.
After a while, the band played a brief welcome song, the spotlight came on, and Akina Nakamori, wearing a beautiful dress, was already standing in the center of the stage.
The first song is of course the debut song "スローモーション" (slow motion),
Under the colorful neon lights, Akina's singing seemed to come from afar and slowly appeared on the stage in front of her. The idol in the beautiful skirt seemed dreamy, like a character in a fairy tale, speaking to the singer.
The feeling of first love.
The fans in the audience swayed their arms to the rhythm of the music, and the small flags on their hands swayed with the melody, like waves.
After singing the song, Akina stopped on the stage and said hello to the Osaka fans.
"Thank you everyone for coming to my concert."
With a quick glance, he spotted Naoki Nagayama in the first row. He smiled and waved to him, and then naturally turned to other directions, not to neglect every fan.
Nagayama Naoki also waved, and the two girls next to him shouted excitedly: "Akina saw me! Akina smiled at me! Akina waved to me!"
The two girls began to shake their arms crazily, hoping that their idol would look over again.
The debut song at the beginning was followed by "Conditioned Reflex" and "Galaxy Legend". After three songs in a row, Akina took advantage of the break to talk to fans about her feelings about coming to Osaka.
After that, I changed into a singing outfit, and the next song was "Girl A" with a fierce rhythm.
As soon as I returned to the backstage, the assistant delivered the clothes prepared for the next performance. The specially made singing clothes were very easy to put on and take off, but the makeup still needed to be slightly adjusted.
"Mingcai-chan, do you want some water?" the assistant handed over the prepared kettle.
Akina took the kettle, took a sip, and then asked: "Did you make any mistakes on stage just now? How was my performance?"
Manager Yasushi Okawa answered from the side: "Not at all. Akina-chan's performance is excellent, and the response from the audience is also very good."
Knowing that his idol has always had strict requirements for concerts and is especially nervous when there are many audiences, Okawa Yasushi gave firm affirmation at this time.
After putting on makeup in a hurry, the chants outside could be heard backstage. Akina hurried over, but after getting on the stage, she slowed down and turned into the flamboyant and rebellious girl A.
Unlike the ever-changing divas who will combine singing and dancing in the future, Akina Nakamori, who has only held a few concerts, has good dancing skills, but she has not integrated them into her performances, or the dance moves in several songs are very small.
Maybe after Akina becomes more famous and starts to choreograph her own dances, it will be even more exciting.
Naoki Nagayama played the rhythm with the fans in the audience, clapped together, and shouted slogans together, acting like a pure Akina fan,
After "Girl A" was sung, another song with a brisk rhythm was "A Type Miracle"~
The music paused, Nakamori Akina stopped, showed a shy smile, waved to the fans off the stage again, and interacted with the fans:
"Thank you again Mina-san from Osaka for coming to my concert. How about the previous songs?"
"I listened to two fast-paced songs, and the next one I present to you is the latest single "Second Love". This song was given to me as a debut gift by a friend~Arigado~"
Akina Nakamori looked at Naoki Nagayama, her eyes full of smiles, "I originally thought of it as a debut song, but I didn't expect it took so long to record it~"
Nagayama Naoki smiled and shook his head. Akina's sudden appearance made him not sure how to respond.
"The next song "Second Love" is for you all here!"
A soft and sweet voice came out from the speakers, and the whole venue was filled with soft singing. People couldn't help but marvel at Akina Nakamori's singing skills. Although her voice is a mid-bass, she can switch so smoothly in the treble field.
marvel,
"
If it’s your second love
There will be some progress
I really want to convey the message of love to you~
I just hung my head
I just hung my head
"
Akina on the stage has a soft light, slowly but affectionately telling the girl's inner thoughts. The audience in the audience also followed the singing and thought of someone left in their memory, or the person next to them.
Immediately there were emotional fans who quietly grabbed the sleeves of those around them.
Nagayama Naoki was listening to the singing in rapt attention, but suddenly he saw the girl next to him. The hand that was originally placed on the railing was quietly moving towards him, and would soon touch the clothes he had placed on the railing!
Eh? Are all young girls today so bold? They want to pull my sleeve after listening to a song?
Nagayama Naoki quickly pretended to applaud and took his hand back from the railing. He also saw the unwillingness on the girl's round face out of the corner of his eye.
Immersed in Akina Nakamori's performance, a concert lasting more than an hour seemed to pass by in the blink of an eye.
By the time I played the last song, I had already said goodbye to everyone in advance. I was reluctant to say goodbye during the final parting process, but I still reminded everyone to pay attention to safety when going back~
Naoki Nagayama followed the flow of people and slowly walked towards the gate of the venue. Along the way, he heard the two girls chatting:
"If you ask me, Akina-chan must have a secret crush, otherwise "Second Love" would not be sung so deeply and deeply!"
"Akina-chan is very devoted to every song. This is her singing skills!"
"Who is the friend that Kai-chan is talking about?" "What friend?" "The friend who gave me the debut song?"
"It's a music producer named Nagayama Naoki. Isn't it written on the single record?"
"Is it possible that Akina has a crush on that person? He must be a handsome guy!"
"Crooked composers are usually older, right?"
It seems that Nagayama Naoki's scandal did not cause a big stir in Osaka, otherwise the two girls would not have failed to recognize that the protagonist of their topic was right next to them.
In fact, that’s right, the separation between Kansai and Kanto is quite serious~
After leaving the venue, Naoki Nagayama walked directly to the parking space. It was impossible to talk to Akina today. Not to mention the many guards guarding the door, the fans outside were also waiting to see Akina again.
So Ming Cai must have left in the car as soon as he left the house.
However, Nagayama Naoki was hungry at this time and was planning to go to Shinsaibashi. As the birthplace of Teppanyaki, Osaka's Teppanyaki is unique, both in terms of ingredients and cooking methods.
On the other side, Akina, who had changed into regular clothes, and her assistant secretly got into an inconspicuous van from the side door. The car driven by Yasushi Okawa at the front door was surrounded by fans and could not get out for the time being.
"Akina-chan, do you want to go back to the hotel directly?" asked the female assistant Ueda Maki who was with us, "or find a place to have a meal first?"
Akina Nakamori touched her belly. In order to maintain the best body shape on the stage, apart from breakfast, she only ate a little bread to cushion her stomach all day long. She didn't feel it even though she didn't say it. She felt a little weak after she said it, but
The tension hasn't dissipated yet, but I don't feel hungry yet
"Although I know I need to eat, I don't have much appetite." Akina Nakamori was a little helpless, but the car happened to pass by a roadside Teppanyaki stall, and a choking aroma came in.
Akina perked up after asking. Her mouth was dry just now, but now it immediately felt moist. Her eyes immediately turned to the female assistant, "Maki-chan, it would be great if you could eat the rich aroma of Teppanyaki~"
Seeing her idol's greedy and expectant look, Ueda Maki couldn't help but laugh: "That's just right, Osaka is the birthplace of Teppanyaki! Let's go to the food district Shinsaibashi!"
The female assistant immediately communicated with the driver and changed the direction.
