383, Isn't it normal to get married at twenty-three or four-year-old?
.
Sure enough, the next day, as soon as Naoki Nagayama arrived at the student apartment, Shuichi Itou kicked him out of the set.
What else was said in his mouth:
"Leave the rest to me. Naoki-san is no longer needed here~ Otomo-san is your destination~"
Hey, don’t ask me to come over next time you make other videos!
Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to drive a convertible to the studio, and was surprised to find Masami Inada already waiting in the studio with Junko Ito.
"Naoki-san, good morning~" Junko Ito wore a thick white sweater with slim-fitting jeans, looking very youthful. After a whole year of debut career, this idol has become more mature both in terms of outfit and temperament.
They have all shed their original youthful appearance.
Nagayama Naoki naturally responded enthusiastically: "Good morning Junko-chan, you are getting more and more beautiful~"
"Naoki-san's mouth is so sweet~ He must have deceived many girls~" Junko Ito smiled and narrowed her eyes. The more you know Naoki Nagayama, the more you know that he is very casual among acquaintances.
This sentence made Nagayama Naoki unable to accept it. He had never deceived a little girl before, but he unknowingly gave people the feeling of being very carefree and experienced.
"Junko-chan, please don't ruin my reputation~" Nagayama Naoki said as he walked into the office,
"Otomo-san, have you and Shuichi-san reached any consensus in private?"
Yoshimura Otomo didn't know when he got into the habit of drinking a cup of hot tea in the morning. At this time, he was holding a cup of hot tea and slowly tasting it. It was the tea sent by Naoki Nagayama.
Seeing someone coming in, there was no special action: "Of course there is no unified consensus. However, I already subconsciously agree that I want Naoki-san to be less idle!"
".Why can't you be free?" Nagayama Naoki was speechless. "Isn't it just to make money so that you don't have to work so hard?"
"If Naoki-san is so decadent, he will be ruined!"
Yoshimura Otomo seems to be a little serious, "Even if you don't work for money, at least you have to do something interesting and worth the effort~"
"Isn't Naoki-san not interested in music and film careers?"
Nagayama Naoki scratched his head a little and said:
"If I say no, I seem to be a little interested. But if I say yes, I don't seem to be that interested."
Ever since I made money from records and movies, my goals in life seem to have drifted a bit.
However, being a salted fish that goes with the flow is actually very comfortable, right~
Yoshimura Otomo sighed. Sure enough, people with too many talents have a common problem. Because they can achieve achievements that ordinary people can't achieve with hard work, they don't attach much importance to achievements in this area.
Maybe we can only wait for him to adjust these~
"No matter what, you should always get rid of the things at hand first." Yoshimura Otomo gave up the concept of influencing Nagayama Naoki and directly talked about the next arrangements, "Let's finish the recording of Junko-chan's new song today.
.”
"Hey, hey~" Nagayama Naoki didn't say much, "But have you made an appointment at the recording studio?"
"Huh? We have already taken over a recording studio, Naoki, don't you know?" Yoshimura Otomo asked in surprise, as if he had just come to his senses.
"Took over a recording studio?"
"Yes, didn't you say before that there is a lot of demand for our own artists now, so it would be better to have our own recording studio?"
"So, Otomo-san just bought one?"
Are you moving so fast?
"Ah, someone I know just wants to take action." Otomo Yoshimura resumed his calm attitude, "And by the way, we took over the employees of the original recording studio, and put them all under the new label of Rebellion."
".As expected, it's Otomo-san, you've thought it through very carefully~"
It was only then that Naoki Nagayama discovered that after he founded the company, his random words would actually be followed by others as instructions.
Masamin Inada drove the car and led the way, followed by Naoki Nagayama.
Soon, the car came to a place called Shin Okachimachi near Ueno Park in Taito District. The recording studio that I took over was here, opposite a Christian church.
"New Sound.studio" Looking at the name on the brand, Nagayama Naoki was a little curious, "Is this Otomo-san's new name or his old name?"
"It's the old one." Masamin Inada said at the side, "Because the recording studio was taken over directly, nothing else has changed except for the shares."
"That's it~"
This is a small house hidden among street shops. It is almost all old wooden structures and looks like it should not be very expensive.
Nagayama Naoki opened the small door and went straight in. The inside was clean and seemed to have been renovated.
There is a small front desk on the first floor, but there is no one there now. The actual recording place is on the second floor, upstairs. It seems to be due to the sound insulation material, and it suddenly seems a lot quieter.
There are four simple rooms, and two rest rooms near the street outside, which are convenient for communication and some writing.
The two rooms on the inside have been opened up and divided into a recording room and an external center console. Now a guy is debugging it.
"Terashin-san, we're here!" Inada Masamin greeted, and when the younger brother turned around, he said, "This is our president, Nagayama Naoki. Naoki-san, this is the sound engineer Onodera Shin."
This was the first time Onodera Kokoro met the big boss of his new company. He quickly stood up and bowed: "President Nagayama, this is the first time we meet. I am Onodera Kokoro. Please give me your advice."
"First time we meet, I am Naoki Nagayama~"
The introduction of bowing to each other when meeting for the first time is really too bad, why can't we just westernize it and shake hands?
"I'm going to trouble Ono-kun today."
"Where there is, this is what I should do."
This was probably not the first time Ito Junko came here. She was very familiar with this place and greeted the sound engineer familiarly.
After chatting for a while, the business had to begin. Nagayama Naoki asked directly:
"Junko-chan, have you tried it before? How about it? Can you sing "Dislocated Time and Space" completely?"
"Hey, I've tried it many times~"
"Then let me listen~"
Junko Ito walked into the recording room, and Naoki Nagayama also put on headphones, but this time the Chinese songs were adapted into Japanese, so Naoki Nagayama was a little cautious.
As the soft music sounded, Ito Junko's sweet voice with a milky voice came out from the headphones,
"
気まぐれできままる风命を (Fate is not a decision of rock-paper-scissors)
変えたくて(so willful)
Same wind bath (I blew the evening breeze you blew)
君きしめられる(then do we count as hugging each other)
"
Even in Japanese, these lyrics sound very cool.
After Naoki Nagayama listened, he didn't speak for a long time. Junko Ito also knew Naoki Nagayama's style as a music producer and just waited quietly for the next instruction.
"Ono-kun?"
The sudden sound made Onodera, who didn't know what to do, panic.
"Hi? I'm here!"
Nagayama Naoki smiled: "Please add the background music and let me hear the effect. Junko-chan, wait a moment~"
Onodeshin quickly operated on the center console and then started playing.
After being paired with music, Junko Ito's voice sounded more healing, but it lost the little bit of regret that the song itself had.
"ただひとり(The end is empty, empty)"
Such lyrics, with their deep unwillingness to fate, are not reflected at all.
Naoki Nagayama waved to indicate that Junko Ito was coming out.
"Junko-chan, what were you thinking about when you were singing just now?"
"Ah, I'm thinking about how to sing well," Junko Ito murmured, "To be specific, I'm thinking about where to sing softly and where to sing harder."
The little girl spoke honestly about her feelings, "As for emotions, I just immersed myself in a sad feeling."
"Isn't it sad? I can't say it's wrong." Nagayama Naoki said, "Junko-chan, actually this song is not a sad song. The song itself is actually telling the impermanence of fate. Those who miss it are
No more."
"Perhaps the name of "Dislocated Time and Space" should be called Missing and Absent."
In this era, high school students do not yet have rich sources of information. Children like Ito Junko are actually relatively simple. They have no real sense of the impermanence of fate and what they miss will no longer exist.
"Fate or something?" Junko Ito had a troubled look on her face.
Nagayama Naoki helped to recall: "Junko-chan, don't you have any difficult past events? Someone you like at school? Missed it, didn't express your love, etc. Or something else."
"Confession!" Junko Ito said suddenly.
"Eh?"
"When I was in junior high school, I confessed my love to the person I liked and dated someone!" Junko Ito seemed quite calm, but again, first love was not a big deal when in junior high school in Japan.
"Ah, I see. Then it would be a pity to break up after that, right?"
Because they were in a relationship, it meant they had broken up. Naoki Nagayama felt that this first love that gave up halfway must have been a case of unresolved feelings.
"After dating without any regrets, I discovered that this guy had a lot of shortcomings, so I dumped him directly!" Junko Ito said this without any hesitation.
"Ah this." Nagayama Naoki was choked and couldn't speak. Even Onodera Shin and Inada Masami showed strange expressions on their faces.
What a nostalgic first love.
"Hahaha, Junko-chan, you are very decisive. Stop the loss in time!"
"of course!"
Junko Ito seems to have a very strong heart. How can such a character show the uncertainty of fate and the regret of missing out? Naoki Nagayama fell into deep thought~
After being unable to think of a way for a long time, Nagayama Naoki asked everyone to rest for a while. After all, if they didn't find a way, staying in the recording studio would be a waste of time.
Nagayama Naoki sat in a room outside, opened the window, and continued to think.
Let Junko read a book? The kind where fate is free? Let her experience the experience of forgetting if you miss it? Let others tell her?
No matter what, I can't let Junko Ito understand quickly.
At this time, a bell came from the church outside the window, which brought Nagayama Naoki back to his senses.
"The bell is ringing at this time. Is this a Christian church?"
From outside the window, it seemed like there was something going on inside the church. Everyone was quietly listening to the priest's words, and the whole atmosphere seemed solemn and calm.
It seemed that even the people on the street were infected, and the noise suddenly became much quieter.
Nagayama Naoki was just curious to take a look at it, but then suddenly an idea flashed: "Isn't the impermanence of fate what religion is best at?! Especially Buddhism!"
So Nagayama Naoki found Onodera Kokoro, who was smoking with Inada Masamin: "Onodera-kun, are there any temples nearby?"
Onodera was obviously caught off guard: "Eh? A temple? A few blocks away is the Sensoji Temple."
"Asakusa Temple?" Nagayama Naoki shook his head, "It's too big, there are too many people, and there is no pure atmosphere. Is there a smaller one with less people?"
"Two intersections away, there is a little-known small temple that seems to be dedicated to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
"Are there any monks who can perform rituals?"
"Huh? Legal affairs?"
"The kind that preaches scriptures and prays for blessings~"
"It should be okay." Onodera is not too sure, but at least praying should be okay.
"Then let's get ready to go!" Naoki Nagayama shouted towards Junko Ito, "Junko-chan, let's go, let's go worship Buddha!"
"Huh?" Ito Junko was confused, "Why did you suddenly go to worship Buddha?"
"To let you experience the impermanence of fate!"
Nagayama Naoki said with a smile. In fact, he just wanted to let Junko Ito participate in the temple's rituals. Young people in Japan are still quite superstitious about these things. After participating in the rituals, they will naturally be infected in their hearts and feel a sense of awe.
Affection.
This kind of emotion is actually very similar to the awe of fate. It is an emotion towards things above that you cannot touch or change.
In that state of mind, it seems okay to sing this song, right?
Besides, even if it doesn't work, there's nothing wrong with asking for good luck~
Four people went out together, three of them were confused, and one seemed to be confident, so they headed towards the small temple not far away.
However, after arriving, I discovered that this unknown temple is really small, and there are not many people there. There is only one hall, and behind it is a small wing, where the temple monks live.
"Ono-kun, you are familiar with me, please ask the temple priest if you can do a blessing ceremony for Ito Junko." Nagayama Naoki directed,
"Junko-chan, don't think about anything else right now. You just came to the temple to do a listening and praying ceremony."
Temple blessings that are over fifty are naturally willing, because Onodera is willing to give money
Then he took out wooden fish, hundred-year-old clothes and other magical objects, and turned into a real monk. He started chanting sutras in the main hall, and he really looked like a great monk.
Junko Ito followed the formal procedures, washed her hands and face, calmed her mind, offered incense, and then knelt down with her hands clasped piously on the futon in the main hall to listen to Buddhist scriptures.
After closing the door, the entire atmosphere became peaceful. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the main hall seemed to be looking at the believers in the audience quietly, showing endless compassion...??m
The whole listening and praying ceremony lasted about 40 minutes. By the end, Lao Miaozhu's mouth was a little dry and his voice became slightly hoarse. Junko Ito seemed to be a true Buddhist, and she still knelt down on the futon meticulously.
superior.
After the last sound of the wooden fish was struck, Junko Ito finally opened her glasses. When she came out and saw Naoki Nagayama, she seemed to feel much calmer and her eyes were particularly clear.
"Naoki-san, I feel a little heavy and a little calm."
"Junko-chan, keep it up! It may be difficult to achieve the state where all four elements are empty, but it doesn't matter, we just need a little bit of artistic conception."
While Junko Ito was still in a state of mind, Naoki Nagayama and his team hurried back to the recording studio and began the intense recording process.
This time, the lyrics of "ただひとり(End is empty, empty)" were sung with great feeling.
"Very good, Junko-chan, I feel something this time." Nagayama Naoki said happily, "But this time the taste of peace is too strong, the resentment is less, and the sweet feeling is also less."
"Once again, as I relax just now, I believe I will slowly find a balance in the future!"
"Hi!"
So it took most of the day to find this balance. Ito Junko sang it more than 50 times.
Not even lunch
On this day, Junko recalled the terror of being under the control of the tyrant in the recording studio, and the shame of being constantly criticized by Naoki Nagayama.
