Tokyo's cicadas screamed shrilly in the treetops, as if they wanted to scream out their entire lives.
The cicada’s voice keeps echoing, maybe even they know that this is the last summer~
Concerts by big stars often stimulate a city's tourism economy, and even a city as large as Tokyo is no exception...
The last stop of Akina Nakamori's nationwide tour, the Nippon Budokan concert is about to begin. Fans from all over the country are rushing to come and support their idol.
When Naoki Nagayama came to the Budokan, the stadium was already crowded with fans who came to support him. The capacity of the Nippon Budokan was 15,000, but there were definitely more than 20,000 people outside the venue.
"so many people....."
Thanks to Naoki Nagayama's height, you can still see the banner "Akina Nakamori·Bitter & Sweet Tour Concert·Tokyo Station" hanging on the door of the Budokan.
"Yeah, we didn't expect that there would be so many people... Naoki-san, let's go in first~"
Ming Xingfang came out specially to pick up Naoki Nagayama. He didn't get the tickets for related people, but he did have a lot of IDs for internal staff...
"Naoki-san, there are really no tickets for the seats. When the time comes, you can just hang your work ID and enjoy it outside the stage... Well, it's best not to hinder the real staff from performing their work.
....”
"Haha, that's it, I understand!"
Nagayama Naoki smiled, took the work permit and hung it around his neck.
Akiko Fusa took Nagayama Naoki in through the employee passage at the side door. Since he had his work ID, the security guard at the door had no intention of blocking him.
"Naoki-san, Akina-chan's dressing room is still a little further inside~" Akikofusa seemed to want to take Nagayama Naoki directly to the dressing room.
Speaking of which, if you have this ID, you can not only watch at the front desk, but also go backstage to peek at Akina... But when the preparations for the concert are so tense, it's better not to disturb it~
"Fusanoori-san... Since Akina is preparing, I won't go over and cause trouble~" Nagayama Naoki patted Akiko Fusunori on the shoulder, "I'll go to the front desk from here... and look for the best
The location with the best viewing angle~”
"Ah...that's it~" Ming Xingfang looked at Nagayama Naoki's leaving figure and nodded, "That's fine..."
Due to the large number of people, the Budokan had already started letting people in an hour before the opening. The originally empty venue quickly became crowded. From time to time, security personnel reminded fans not to be anxious and not to be casual when finding their spot.
Move around.
As a director, Nagayama Naoki directly looked for the position of the main camera in the front row. That must be the best viewing position... This concert will be recorded in its entirety, and the concert will be released later.
Where's the videotape?
Several huge cameras were arranged in a row. In fact, there were camera positions on the top of the stage, on both sides of the stage, and on the second and third floors of the auditorium. There was even a crane camera in this place to shoot movable long shots.
The on-site director and cameraman were both adjusting the lens when they suddenly noticed a strange guy peeping his head around and were about to scold him:
"You are...Eh? You are director Naoki Nagayama!!!"
The famous director's vest is very famous among the camera guys. After all, every camera guy has the dream of being a movie director!
"Haha, it's me...you guys keep busy, I'm just here to take a look..."
Looking at the work certificates of internal employees hanging by Naoki Nagayama, Akiko Fusa, in order to allow Naoki Nagayama to move without restrictions and not be responsible for specific work, actually had the name of director on it... He was responsible for the overall control of the brand.
Not responsible for positions in any one area.
Usually it is used by the organizer to name... This work ID should belong to Hua Jianhe, he should not be at the site today.
"Director Yongshan..." The cameraman was very enthusiastic, "Would you like some guidance on the lens?"
"Forehead......"
Because he would watch a concert here later, Naoki Nagayama could only quietly integrate into the photography and videography team... However, after so many years of film experience, he was not at all vain, so he started discussing with these guys.
The use of lenses...
.......
Backstage dressing room.
Akina Nakamori is wearing a loose bathrobe and blow-drying her hair. Akina, who is completely bare-faced, has fair and smooth skin and a small face. She looks like a high school student.
There are two makeup artists preparing to apply makeup next to them... In the room, there are assistants such as Maki Ueda sorting out the required singing clothes...
Ming Xingfang came in and whispered what happened before.
"Did Naoki-san go directly to the front desk?" Akina Nakamori didn't get too excited after hearing this. Anyway, she can see him every night now. "Then I wonder if I can see him during the performance..."
At that time, the stage spotlight was on, and most of the audience below could only see black figures, and only those closest to them could see their faces.
"You can definitely see it~" Ueda Maki said with a smile, "A person as outstanding as Naoki-san can be spotted at a glance in the crowd~"
"That's right~"
After Nakamori Akina finished speaking, she continued to prepare her makeup before going on stage. There were many people in the dressing room and things were very tense. It would indeed be inconvenient for Naoki-san to come.
Time passed by, and when the venue was filled with fans, Naoki Nagayama had completely integrated into the photography team.
When it was mentioned that they would watch the show here later, everyone had no intention of refuting, and even handed Naoki Nagayama a small video camera.
"Naoki-san, during the performance, you can walk around the stage and take some photos of the concert scenes from Naoki-san's eyes... Maybe we can use them in the behind-the-scenes..."

"...."
Akina from her boyfriend’s perspective? I won’t show it to you even if I film it!!
Nagayama Naoki complained in his heart, but he still held the small camera in his hand. After all, he could move around at will and see his girlfriend from multiple angles~
.......
At some point, the lights at the venue dimmed, leaving only the spotlight on the main stage.
The fans in the venue began to quiet down, but the members of the Guards, under the command of the team leader, began to support before the start...
"Akina~Akina~Akina..."
In the rhythmic call, the music sounded, the stage's colorful lights began to flash, and a figure was already standing between the light and darkness... The first song today was actually "これからNaturally".
Under the colorful lights, Akina danced a somewhat psychedelic dance on the stage:
"Well, well... From now on, let nature take its course..."
Nakamori Akina, who looks like a white-haired witch, looks completely different from usual. Even her eyes have lost the gentleness in private, and she looks aloof like a single urban lady~
"Sayounala~yesterday~"
For her, a relationship seems to be just an embellishment in life~
Nagayama Naoki was watching very enthusiastically from the camera position. From this distance, he could see very clearly. The opening song started with such a strong rhythm song, which instantly heated up the venue.
Fortunately, this time we were at the Budokan, and the powerful central air-conditioning kept the place from getting too hot.
After singing the song, Akina Nakamori paused on the stage and waved to the fans at the venue:
"Mina-san...good afternoon~"
"Ah...after more than a month of concert tour...I'm back in Tokyo~"
"The Budokan is really different from other places. I feel nervous when I stand on the stage... haha~"
Akina Nakamori returned to her true nature when interacting with fans, and even laughed. When she heard some fans shouting loudly, she would stop and ask "Nani Nani?"
Sure enough, Akina during the performance is different from normal Akina...
"Today I bring you many songs that have been released, and some that have not yet been released..."
Akina Nakamori was talking about today's general arrangements on the stage, but her eyes were scanning underneath, trying to find Naoki Nagayama's figure.
There are no fans in the front row~
In the central aisle...there is none~
The VIP perspective protruding from the second floor...No~
Akina Nakamori moved closer to the side of the stage, wanting to see it more clearly...Eh? Wait...this guy with a camera at my feet...why is he so close?
close?
Take a close-up shot?
Akina, who has a good camera sense, squatted down. It seemed that she wanted to talk to the fans in the first row, but actually she wanted to take some pictures for this camera.
Then she discovered...why did the guy holding the camera look so familiar?
He turned his head... and it turned out to be his boyfriend - Naoki Nagayama!!!
"!!!"
Nakamori Akina's eyes widened, and she was a little surprised for a moment and didn't know what to say, but her good stage control allowed her to quickly control her mentality.
He stood up and spoke to the fans again:
"All the songs today are carefully selected... I hope you all like it..."
"The song below is called "SOLITUDE"..."
The song that started with a fast tempo was naturally followed by a slower song. As she was getting into her dance poses, Akina was thinking why Naoki-san was also holding the camera...
I couldn't help but curl up the corner of my mouth. This is my old profession. Do I want to shoot a videotape for her?
I don’t know how much this camera guy’s salary is...can Yanyin afford it~
........
Nagayama Naoki took a picture of Nakamori Akina's surprised expression, couldn't help but laugh, and made a decision in his heart, and then took it out and printed out this scene as a souvenir~
The concert continued, with songs performed one after another by Akina on the stage...
A fast rock song with a strong rhythm must be paired with a slow, lyrical song. This is the origin of the concert theme "Bitter&Sweet".
The fans in the audience shouted loudly, shook their arms, and gave warm applause at the end of every song...
The colorful lights, psychedelic dance and moving music reached the peak at the last stop of the tour tonight, as if to remember the last summer with the fans.
The guards among the fans shouted "Akina~" in time with the music, and the timing of the insertion was just right, just like its own soundtrack.
Akina Nakamori is sometimes cool and sometimes enthusiastic on stage...
Royal sister, girl, rock girl, urban beauty, dance queen, love song queen... The performance of each song shows a different image of herself to the concertgoers, as if she couldn't perform it without her
Her style...is worthy of being a versatile diva...
Nagayama Naoki was also immersed in the lively atmosphere, cheering with everyone, and from time to time had some interactions with Akina on the stage that everyone didn't understand...
A look, a gesture, a smile... He knew it was specially given to him by Akina~
Other fans in the front row thought that the camera guy running around in front of the stage was doing his job and grabbing every shot of Akina-chan's performance...
When you are happy, time always flies by. The charming Akina on the stage makes people forget the time at all. Only the hoarse voice reminds the host that you have been yelling for more than two hours. As you
My organs really can't hold on anymore...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the song "Red Bird Escapes (Red Bird Flies Away)", Akina Nakamori panted lightly and said to everyone:
"This is the last song scheduled for today's concert~"
"That's great... I can spend this happy summer with everyone..."
"byebye~"
It is natural not to say goodbye...
The door of the martial arts hall has been opened, but the fans did not start to leave. Instead, waves of "Encore~" and "Encore~" sounded rhythmically.
Word seems to have spread about what’s special about Akina Nakamori’s current tour…
Anyone who has attended Akina Nakamori's concert knows that the real essence comes after the songs on the official set list are sung...
During the encore, Akina Nakamori will sing some songs that have never been released, and some are even songs that have been heard for the first time...
Many of Naoki Nagayama's songs, such as "Unrequited Love", "Water Color", etc., are all very nice, but are considered to be songs that do not match the current popular music style.
Although these fans thought they all sounded good, for one reason or another, neither Nagayama Naoki nor Nakamori Akina wanted to make a record for sale.
After singing the regular "Unrequited Love" and "Water Color", the fans in the venue still shouted loudly and did not leave even if the lights on the stage were turned off...
A few minutes later... Akina Nakamori, who had put on a lightweight denim T-shirt, walked back to the stage...
This is already the outfit for leaving, with only light makeup on the face:
"There's really nothing I can do against you..."
"Akina-chan is the best!" "Akina, the last song!" "Finally~"
The flashing support lights flashed rapidly in the darkness, just like the eager mood of the fans...
"But... there are no more songs..." Akina Nakamori seemed to be embarrassed.
"Encore, encore, encore~" "Just play any song!" "I want to listen to "Girl A"..." "That one has already been sung!"
Fans were giving Akina advice, and some even shouted, "Don't Naoki Nagayama have any other songs?" Such words made Akina glance at Naoki Nagayama who was still filming on the stage...
..
Then, as if there was nothing he could do, he called out to the band behind the scenes:
"We agreed... this is the last song! After singing, everyone needs to leave the venue obediently~"
"Hi~" "Akina!" "Everything depends on Akina-chan!" "..."
Akina Nakamori nodded with satisfaction, looked at the person holding the camera next to the stage, and said:
"The name of this song is "Wind Love Song"... I have only been practicing for a short time... If I don't sing well, please forgive me..."
Hearing this title, Nagayama Naoki was stunned for a moment. This song was naturally given to Akina by Nagayama Naoki...
After all, I gave "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly" to Kudo Shizuka, which gave Akina an additional opponent. Naoki Nagayama was a little embarrassed, so she let Akina choose randomly from the library of songs... So Akina chose
Got this one.
However, didn’t this song just come out not long ago?
The thoughts in my mind haven't passed yet, but the music on the stage has already started to sound.
"
.....
Teach the way of the wind (Who can tell me where the wind is blowing)
あなたのMissing いはWho is blowing to けくの(Whose side are your thoughts blowing to)
.....
栬を伝い流れる涙が干かないのは (Tears flow silently and soak my face)
(Just waiting for your endless love and tenderness)
...
"
Who are you singing this tender song to?
Akina Nakamori sang and stretched out her hands in front of her...
