TV Asahi is located in the city center, and it is naturally surrounded by various shops, restaurants and other supporting facilities.
In order to have privacy while dining, Nagayama Naoki drove around for a few minutes and found a high-end Western restaurant. The booths here had good privacy, and the few of them had no worries about fans suddenly walking up to them while they were eating.
I reserved two empty seats, then sent the name of the restaurant to Akina...and then waited quietly.
At this moment, he felt the faint singing voice echoing in his mind. It was the voice of a male singer. His falsetto was very distinctive and had the style of traditional neon singing.
"
...
流れゆく时に笹草を风かべ (In the time that passes like an arrow, the world is like a boat floating up and down)
焼けfallちた夏の爱著 (The love song that burned out the summer)
Forgetting people's bubbles (people who forget are like bubbles)
...
The end of summer, the end of summer, the end of summer, the end of summer
I really want to see you
いつかと同じ风风き抜けるから (The familiar wind brings back old memories)
.......
"
Nagayama Naoki borrowed a pen from the waiter and wrote a slowly emerging song on the blank last page of the restaurant's menu.
"Summer Finale" is full of emotions about the passage of time and reluctance to see the end of summer. However, the most impressive thing about this song is Naotaro Moriyama's perfect falsetto.
And the overlapping chorus at the end…
This time is different from when memories surfaced before. The lyrics and melody appeared in my mind soothingly. Without the previous shock, it seemed very soothing, but it was also a lot blurry than before. At least the lyrics and melody needed to be pondered by oneself.
Only then can I write.
Naoki Nagayama slowly perfected this song under the surprised and astonished eyes of the waiter in the western restaurant. When composing the score, he concentrated on the melody in his mind and did not even notice the changes in the outside world.
Until a strand of hair on the side rubbed against my face, and my nose smelled a faint smell of orange perfume...
When I looked up, I saw Akina Nakamori in a dress standing next to Naoki Nagayama, bending down to read the song her boyfriend had written on the menu of the restaurant.
"Akina! You're here!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.
"Yes, as soon as I came in, I saw Naoki-san concentrating on writing~ He didn't even say hello..." Akina Nakamori did not sit across from him, but stood beside him and looked at Naoki Nagayama's menu, "
Naoki-san, is this... a new song?"
"Hi~" Naoki Nagayama handed the basically complete menu to Akina, "I just had some inspiration, so I wrote it down..."
Nakamori Akina took the menu and sat down. When she saw the lyrics of "summer's end, summer's end, summer's end, summer's end ~ at the end of summer, ただ贵方に会いたくなるの" (I really want to see you)
)" He smiled happily.
"Naoki-san, is this song because you want to see me?" Akina asked with eyes full of expectation.
"Of course~" Naturally, I can't say anything else at this time.
"When I was at TV Asahi, I really wanted to see Akina... Because of this urgent longing, I came up with this song!" Nagayama Naoki said with confidence.
"That's it~"
Akina's little face was full of pride and happiness, but she forced herself to pretend to be calm and answered. She should still pretend to be more reserved in public...
But it was over immediately. I was so excited that I couldn’t sit still on the stool, and even showed the menu to Ueda Maki at the table next to me:
"Maki-chan, look! Naoki-san wrote another song for me!!!"
Next to them, Maki Ueda and Akiyuki Fusa were a little helpless and ate one more piece of dog food before dinner!
Naoki Nagayama quickly stopped Akina from showing off:
"Mingna... let's order food first~ You can watch this song later~"
"No...I want to watch it now!" Akina Nakamori didn't want to give in at all. She clutched the menu tightly and began to hum along with the music score~
Naoki Nagayama was quite helpless and could only order it for himself. Akina was not picky about food anyway and was easy to raise...
I signaled the waiter to come over and take my order, and ordered beef eye steak, pasta, and some desserts.
But when the waiter left, he seemed a little confused:
"Guest-san...our menu..."
"Ah...this~" Nagayama Naoki scratched his face in embarrassment. He didn't have a notebook at hand, so he used the menu to compose the song, "I will compensate you for this menu...
Go ask about the price and finally calculate it together.”
"Hi...."
After ordering the meal, Akina, who was sitting opposite, was still watching the song and humming softly. Naoki Nagayama had to say:
"Mingna~"
"Nani?" Akina looked away from the menu.
"For this song "Summer Finale", when you sing it, you need a falsetto... and you need to use a traditional singing voice when singing the chorus..." Naoki Nagayama
Asked, "Can Akina sing?"
In fact, this song is more suitable for a male singer... However, since it is said that it was written for Akina, how could it not be given to Akina...
"Well....."
Akina Nakamori is in a bit of a dilemma. Generally speaking, that kind of singing style is more common in enka. But she mainly sings pop songs, and this song doesn't seem to match her style...
Seeing his girlfriend's embarrassed look, Nagayama Naoki advised: "If you don't know how, it doesn't matter~"
"No...I can learn!" Akina Nakamori seemed to have made up her mind, "If you want to become a professional singer, you have to be able to master any genre of music! Especially the song Naoki-san wrote especially for me!"
"..." Seeing Akina's firm eyes, Nagayama Naoki could only offer encouragement, "Gangba Dad!"
.......
After not seeing each other for several days, Nagayama Naoki and Nakamori Akina chatted while eating dinner.
"Naoki-san..." Akina paused suddenly, thinking of the program she had discussed before, "Yasu Akimoto of Fuji TV... said that he would invite the two of us to star in a new show together.
Variety show~"
"Oh? Did they tell you?" Nagayama Naoki naturally knew.
"Hi, I've contacted President Hanami of the office." Akina took a bite of pasta, then looked at her boyfriend, "Is Naoki-san going?"
Nagayama Naoki smiled: "It doesn't matter to me, it mainly depends on Akina's wishes... In fact, Akimoto-san has communicated with me a long time ago, and this program has no impact on me...
.The reason why I didn’t tell you in advance is because I didn’t want to cause you any pressure from my side~”
"Then... Naoki-san, do you want to record a show with me?"
"Oh? Akina, do you want to take a photo?"
"Well...people from the office have said a lot, saying that it looks very good..." Akina Nakamori's eyes brightened, "But more importantly, if you record the program, you can have it for a long time.
Staying with Naoki-san!"
Hearing this, Naoki Nagayama was also very moved. It is said that the biggest reason for celebrity couples to break up is that they spend less time together and stay apart more often, so of course it is very important for him and Akina to spend more time together!
"Then let's go record this show together!" Naoki Nagayama reached out and shook Akina's hand opposite him, "Let's fall in love openly and openly in front of everyone!"
"..."
After hearing this, Akina Nakamori felt a little shy and her face was a little rouge, but she still bravely held Nagayama Naoki back:
