The sky in Tokyo in the morning is light blue, with a thin layer of clouds. The warm sunshine shuttles down from the clouds, as if it has passed through a filter, and the originally golden light is covered with white gauze.
, turned into an almost milky white color.
The weather has been very stable recently, with the temperature always hovering around 15 degrees. Wear long sleeves and a windbreaker or jacket before going out.
However, Naoki Nagayama was not so simple at this time. He put on a low-key gray jacket. He also put on the blue-gray beret and light blue scarf that Yuko Tanaka gave him before to block his orange hair.
, in addition to that, he also wears brown sunglasses and a big mask that almost covers half of his face.
Next to him, Yongshan Hezi frowned.
"Ni-chan, are you going to rob a bank? Dress up like a robber?"
Nagayama Naoki is a popular science: "Tsuruko, this is a necessary skill for celebrities. If you go to a place like Ginza, you must take good protection. You must know that it is a key area where paparazzi squat."
"Ah, I remember, that's where Ni-chan and Yuko Tanaka were photographed!"
"..." Xiao Nizi has such a good memory. She deserves to be a top student in Waseda.
Thinking of this, Nagayama Naoki still asked a question: "Tsuruko, was there really no problem in yesterday's exam?"
"Of course!" Looking at Tsuruko who was so full of energy, he knew that he must have performed very well yesterday, "Ni-chan, please stop asking around like mom! It's just a university!"
Nagayama Naoki closed his mouth knowingly. Today is a day that should be happy, but his sister cannot be in a bad mood early in the morning~
Still driving the Toyota Century, which looked like a huge black box, Tsuruko muttered in the back seat: "Every time I get in Ni-chan's car, I feel like I'm going to attend some important national meeting."
This made Naoki Nagayama happy. As his fame grew, should he buy a less ostentatious car? It would be convenient for him to go to places...
After driving through a short side road, we continued along the main road. On weekends when there was no morning rush hour, driving was actually quite enjoyable.
The newly grown green leaves of the zelkova trees on both sides of the road are not wide enough to block the sunlight leaking through the gaps in the leaves. They show irregular light spots on the sidewalks and roadways.
A gust of wind blew by, and the leaves moved with the light spots, as happily as if they were dancing;
There are still some traces of last night's dew on the low roadside, but in the green belt next to it, some impatient primroses have already bloomed.
On the broad green leaves, the small colorful petals smile, showing the bright yellow core part of the flower to the outside world, smiling unpreparedly like a child who is inexperienced in the world.
Just like Tsuruko in the back seat, he was moving eastward and westward, looking very excited at the early spring scenery in Tokyo.
When I came to Tokyo several times before, it was either late spring in April, when the pink cherry blossoms took up all the attention, or midsummer in August, when the brilliant fireworks were exciting. Now this early spring in February is still very novel.
view.
The car soon reached Nakano District, and the small apartment building was right in front of us, but Nagayama Naoki stopped at a phone booth not far away: "Tsuruko, call Akina to come down~"
Ni-chan feels so skilled~
This idea flashed through Tsuruko's mind, but he soon thought that this is a necessary quality for Tokyo residents. Guests should inform the host before arriving, so it is considered polite~
After making the call, Nagayama Naoki drove the car downstairs.
After a while, Akina Nakamori came down, dressed similar to Naoki Nagayama. She had a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a mask in a three-piece set. It was indeed a must-have for celebrities.
After noticing the black Toyota Century, Akina was already walking towards this direction with a familiarity. Just as she was about to open the passenger door, she saw Tsuruko opening the window and waving to Akina: "Akina, here it is.
Here~"
"Good morning Tsuruko~~~ Naoki-san is here too, good morning~~~" She opened the car door and took off her glasses and mask after sitting in. Akina first saw Tsuruko and then greeted the driver.
Seeing Akina's bright little face in the rearview mirror, Nagayama Naoki felt even brighter: "It's early Akina-chan~"
But then the two people of the same age in the back row started chatting happily, leaving the miserable driver aside.
.......
The girl in the back row was talking about something, but Naoki Nagayama didn't listen carefully. Anyway, the topic was very jumpy. The first part was about the popular colors this year, and then it jumped to what fun attractions there are in Tokyo. I always felt that there was no definite conclusion. I could talk about whatever I thought of.
It wasn't until Naoki Nagayama drove the car to Ginza that the conversation between the two finally began to focus on which clothes are good and what styles are popular this year...
After parking the car in the alley behind Samadhiju, Nagayama Naoki led the two of them and turned into the main road of Ginza Street from the alley between high-rise buildings.
"Ni-chan is very familiar with this place~ Sure enough, she knows the local area!"
After watching Tsuruko swerving around, his field of vision suddenly broadened. He couldn't help but affirm his brother. Akina also smiled and nodded, "Naoki-san is very powerful~"
Nagayama Naoki pointed to Samadhiju not far away and said: "That's my teahouse over there. I have done field surveys nearby, so I am very familiar with the area, but I don't know about other places."
"Eh? Is it the teahouse run by Naoki-san?" "Is that the one?"
The turquoise roofs and single-family ancient buildings with flying eaves and walls are still very conspicuous in Ginza.
"Hey, let's go shopping first, and then come over for tea and rest at noon~" Naoki Nagayama led the two girls towards the prosperous shopping street, "What should we see first?"
"clothing!
"x2
Sure enough~woman~
Soon, the ones leading the way became two girls...
The shops in Ginza have not changed much. They are similar to the ones I visited several times before. After all, those who can open a shop here have some strength and will not close down casually. However, the products in the store have naturally been updated several times.
It is precisely because of the constantly upgraded products and constantly changing fashion trends that this street attracts batches of repeat customers, making it one of the most prosperous commercial streets in Tokyo.
Tsuruko and Akina walked into a fashionable women's clothing store arm in arm. Naoki Nagayama naturally also went in with a sad face. Fortunately, no one would notice because he was wearing a mask on his face.
Watching the two girls chirping and checking out the latest fashionable clothing styles, Naoki Nagayama just felt noisy.
Tsuruko is very swollen now, because she brought 100,000 yuan with her, which was the change Naoki Nagayama left on the coffee table. It was the university scholarship approved by Naoki Nagayama to give her, but she is very confident in her test scores.
It doesn't matter if you use it in advance; as for Akina, although she hasn't started to share it yet, her monthly salary of more than 300,000 yuan has allowed her to save a small amount of pocket money.
"Ni-chan, what do you think of this dress?" Tsuruko brought over a purple-black parquet dress and asked for advice.
"Tsuruko, you like dresses so much...I remember buying a lot of them, right?" Naoki Nagayama scratched the corner of his eyes, remembering that he also bought a dress last time he brought her here.
"That one is outdated!" Tsuruko said plausibly, "This is the most popular style this year!"
Sorry, Naoki Nagayama really can't tell the difference: "Since you said so, doesn't the color of this dress look a bit mature?"
"Ni-chan, I'm about to go to college. Of course, I have to be more mature. Otherwise, I will be treated as a child by my seniors!"
What a weird reason is this...
"If you think it's okay with Tsuruko, then it's no problem~"
Nagayama Naoki decided not to give any advice. Facts have proved that when girls buy clothes, what they ask is not your opinion, but just to confirm their own ideas.
Next to her, Akina Nakamori couldn't help but laugh when she saw Nagayama Naoki's helpless look: "Naoki-san and Tsuruko-chan have a really good relationship~"
Thinking of the situation of the Nakamori family, Nagayama Naoki asked: "Don't Akina-chan have two brothers? Isn't that the relationship?"
"Well...it's a big family of six children. At least the nuns never bring us to buy clothes. They always go with their mothers or sisters." Akina Nakamori sat aside and looked at Tsuruko.
There he was gesturing with his clothes in front of the mirror, "Maybe there is no chance..."
"Has Akina-chan returned to your hometown recently?"
"I went back a few times occasionally, but I couldn't stay for more than a few days. I went back the night before yesterday. But I left after having a meal." Children who have moved out feel like they are guests when they go home.
But for Akina, who is not yet an adult, it is still a little hard to let go.
Just when he wanted to comfort him, Tsuruko called Akina over there to help choose clothes~
If this store doesn't find the most suitable one, go to another one. If there is something you must buy, buy it. If not, wait until you have browsed all the Ginza streets before you finally choose the one that suits your needs best.
"Naoki-san, don't you want to buy some new clothes?" Akina looked at Naoki Nagayama who had already carried several bags. They were all clothes belonging to Akina and Tsuruko.
"My word... I probably won't need it this year because of Burberry's endorsement."
Because he signed an endorsement contract with Burberry, all the clothes he wore in "Boys Over Flowers" were from their brand. Later, during the endorsement period, he would be given a set of the most popular styles of the season, so there must be no shortage of clothes.
Yes.
"Is there no clothing brand looking for Akina to be a spokesperson?"
Nakamori Akina thought for a while: "There are some advertisements for cosmetics, snacks, toys, etc., but as for the spokesperson... Kao shampoo..."
Nagayama Naoki laughed out loud and looked at Akina's thick and smooth hair: "Hahaha, I can only say that the choice of this shampoo is very correct~"
It seems that Nakamori Akina's hair has always been very thick until the later period. If she is a long-term spokesperson, she will definitely make money!
Akina touched her hair and laughed: "That's right~ But I really want to have an endorsement contract with a clothing brand, so that I can wear the most popular clothes all year round~"
"It will happen in the future~"
Tsuruko came out from the nearby snack shop with a box of octopus balls. They looked steaming hot and exuded an alluring aroma.
"Akina, let's eat octopus balls~~~Open your mouth~~~ah~~~" She picked one with a wooden skewer and put it in Akina's mouth...then turned around and continued walking to the next store.
.
"Eh? Where's mine?" Nagayama Naoki, who was waiting to be fed, was dumbfounded, "Tsuruko, your dear Onii-chan hasn't eaten it yet!"
"If you want to eat, go buy it yourself. Who told you to just chat while I buy it~" Tsuruko didn't even look back.
"Then why is Akina there?!"
"Can you compare with Akina?"
What was left to Nagayama Naoki was the happy laughter and brisk back figures of the two little girls...
...
The atmosphere in Warner Pioneer's office is a little awkward now.
Nobuo Tomioka, who has already submitted his resignation, is still presiding over the meeting, but the national tour has been gradually handed over to the next main person in charge, Yoshiaki Tanaka.
But for the time being, everyone is still working together. After all, no one wants to have any problems with a rising star like Nakamori Akina.
"Akina-chan is resting today, right?" Tomioka Nobuo asked Tanaka Yoshiaki.
"Hey, since we will be busy with a nationwide tour soon, I'll try to let Akina rest as much as possible during this time."
Having been music producers for so long, they certainly know the principle of loosening and tightening. If they squeeze the artist too much, the spring will break!
Yanyin, on the other hand, regards Akina as a treasure in their palms and cannot even take away their only days off.
Tomioka Nobuo nodded and didn't say much else. The trend of "1/2 Myth" is very good. Shimada Yuzo has also started to prepare for the next album, but he seems to have also started to help other artists prepare albums.
...
However, Tanaka Yoshiaki raised a question: "Nobuo-san, Akina's song list for the concert seems to have another song "Karaxi Ame (Unrequited Love)". This song doesn't seem to be a song released by us? I haven't heard of it either.
Has it been sung by other singers? Is there any copyright?"
It's okay to sing other people's songs at concerts. It's a very common practice, as long as you have the copyright.
"Ah, that song was given to Akina by someone else. It seems that she has no intention of releasing it, so there's no problem."
Nobuo Tomioka explained, but he suddenly thought that this guy Tanaka Yoshiaki had never seen Nagayama Naoki... and he didn't know that that guy was the biggest stumbling block to Akina's career.
So he kindly reminded me: "Yang Ming-san, have you heard of Nagayama Naoki?"
"Of course, Akina's song "SedLove" was composed by him, right?" Tanaka Yoshiaki thought quickly, "Is this one the same?"
"Ah, it's all him~" Nobuo Tomioka said, "But Ryoaki-san must be especially careful with this person! Try to prevent him from coming into contact with Akina-chan."
"Um...why?" Tanaka Yoshiaki was confused.
"Because he is very likely to ruin Akina-chan's idol career!" Nobuo Tomioka said in a terrible way, and the consequences will be very serious.
"Eh?!
Tanaka Yoshiaki was startled, "Didn't that guy also produce a very popular song for Akina? Didn't he give him another song now?"
"That's why..." Nobuo Tomioka sighed, "My relationship with Akina is getting closer and closer... I sometimes feel that Akina goes on dates with him when she has a break...
..."
"Nani?!" Does this mean Akina might be secretly in love?
"So this is probably the situation... We have tried several times, but we have not been able to cut off the fate between these two people, and then we will leave it to Liang Ming-san..."
Tanaka Yoshiaki looked confused: "What on earth is going on?"
