At the end of the month, Tokyo ushered in an autumn rain~
The temperature, which was still tepid and falling, suddenly turned cold, and I had to put on a light jacket when I went out.
"This rain... won't continue until the opening of the film festival..."
Just after noon, Nagayama Naoki looked at the rain outside the window and felt a little worried. In two days it will be the opening of the Tokyo Film Festival. If it is still raining then... it will be a little bad~
"Otomo-san, didn't you say that you can live by finding a goddess?" Nagayama Naoki said to Yoshimura Otomo behind the desk, "The Meteorological Agency has also made predictions... the double buff of science and theology
, can’t you guarantee that the weather will be good during the opening?!”
"Who can predict the weather a month in advance!" Fangcun Otomo shook his head, "Anyway, don't we have a rain plan? What are we afraid of..."
"...Anyway, walking the red carpet under the rainproof tent is a bit unsightly!" Naoki Nagayama complained.
"Then let those celebrities get soaked in the rain!" Itou Shuichi laughed beside him, "Anyway, for the sake of exposure, these celebrities must have a reason..."
"That's so rude!" Yoshimura Otomo rolled his eyes.
"Yes, you don't have to face being a star!" Nagayama Naoki took a sip of tea...
"Hahaha~"
Seeing the two of them chatting so happily, Fangcun Dayou finally walked out from behind the desk and helplessly looked at the exquisite tea sets on the coffee table:
"I said you two have nothing to do? Come to my office to drink Kung Fu tea..."
"Otomo-san... I sent someone to Chaoshan on the mainland to buy this specially... The tea is also Tieguanyin..." Naoki Nagayama poured a small cup of tea for Fangcun Otomoya, "
This is a tea culture with a long history! Neon’s tea drinking culture is not as sophisticated as it..."
"..."
Fangcun Dayou cannot refute this point. Much of the neon traditional culture was passed down from ancient Eastern countries.
Speaking of which, the weather has cooled down, and it is indeed a good time to drink kung fu tea. After a cup of hot tea, the body warms up, the fragrance of tea fills the mouth, and the spirit is relaxed a lot... Fangcun Otomo also joined the tasting
Tea atmosphere.
So when Suzuki Yukari knocked on the door and came in, what he saw was a scene of men of three ages, old, middle and young, gathered around a small tea stove and sipping tea with exquisite tea sets... It was very strange...
"What's wrong?" Otomo Yoshimura asked.
"Ah, Otomo-san..." Yukika Suzuki came to his senses and said immediately, "The people from the Tokyo International Film Festival Preparatory Committee have arrived. It was previously scheduled to go to the venue for final acceptance today..."
"Oh... they've arrived~" Yoshimura Otomo nodded and stood up, "Shuiichi-san, Naoki-san, do you want to go together? Let's go to the Yoyogi venue and walk around again? Then we can meet again later
Can the committee members talk about the ownership of the new awards?"
Nagayama Naoki was the first to stand up and shook his head:
"Forget it, I went to see the venue last time. I guess I was just nitpicking today...and communicating with the members of the committee? It must be another scene of intrigue...I'm not interested in either of them anyway.
Forget it~"
Yoshimura Otomo nodded and looked at Yido Shuichi again: "Where is Shuichi-san?"
Yi Tangxiu sighed and stood up: "I actually don't want to go...but last time my instructor asked me to help the college get more places...I have to go~"
"Then just the two of us will go...Naoki-san, you..."
Yoshimura Otomo looked at Nagayama Naoki and the tea set, his intention was very obvious, he left the tea set and went to another place to play~
"..." Nagayama Naoki, who was disliked, had no choice but to stand up, "Actually, I don't have anything to do in the company..."
"Then and us..." Itou Xiuyi's eyes lit up.
"So I'll go back to Yamasakura-in first!" Naoki Nagayama immediately stopped him, "I just want to write something..."
"Naoki-san, do you have a new work?" Yoshimura Otomo was a little excited, "Is it a song? Is there anything suitable for Shizuka-chan? Can our other idols use it?"
Nagayama Naoki's song "I Really Want to Say I Love You Loudly" pushed Shizuka Kudo to the top of the idol world. Now Yoshimura Otomo wishes he could come up with ten or eight songs at once and take over the entire idol world.
"...No, no, it can't be used!"
Naoki Nagayama gave him the one-click triple link. In fact, his mind was confused during this period, and it was all filled with fragmentary memories, which were very incoherent... so he just went back to sort them out.
After rejecting Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi, Nagayama Naoki drove the Toyota Century back towards Chiyoda...
I just came out in the morning, went to the company to drink tea for a few hours, and then went home again after lunch...
I feel a loneliness...
.......
In the fine rain, the lush bamboo leaves around the Yamazakura courtyard appear even more green, completely blocking everything in the courtyard. Only the lush cherry tree canopy and the main body of the newly built two-story mansion are still exposed...
...
In the slightly gloomy weather, the black marble slab exterior wall of the mansion looks thick and calm, as if it has been silently waiting for the owner's return.
After entering through the gate, there is a road in the middle and neat lawns on both sides... leading directly to the main entrance of the mansion.
Pots of yellow, white, and purple chrysanthemums are blooming in the garden on the left. The stamens are stained with raindrops, adding a delicate beauty to the atmosphere~
There is a medium-sized pool in the middle of the flowers. The koi in the pool chase the petals falling on the water, and poke out of the water from time to time amid the ripples. Their figures under the colorful scales are even more agile~
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the right side of the Yamazakura Garden, next to the cherry blossom tree, there is still a white dry landscape, silent in the rain~
From the fish pond flower garden through the lawn path to the dry landscape...it seems like a Zen rhythm from birth to death~
When Naoki Nagayama parked his car in the parking garage, he found a blue Porsche already parked in the garage.
"Didn't Akina drive out this morning? Is she coming back?"
Somewhat unexpectedly, I walked towards the house, but was immediately entangled by the white figure rushing towards me...
"Yutaro, you heard that I'm back!" Seeing the dog running around his legs excitedly, Nagayama Naoki smiled and touched the dog's head, feeling the rain on its fur, "Did you actually go out to get wet in the rain?
"
"Wow!" Yongtaro grinned, as if he was proud of himself.
"You'll catch a cold if you do this~" Nagayama Naoki patted the dog on the head, "It will also stain the floor!"
"..." The frequency of tail wagging has decreased~
Fortunately, Nagayama Naoki didn't criticize too much, and walked out of the garage with the dog: "Has Akina come back?"
"Woof woof woof!" Yutaro seemed to be replying, his little tail swung up in the air.
"Then take me to find her!"
With that said, he walked from the side door of the garage towards the house... and didn't forget to tell the dog next to him:
"Yingtaro, wipe your feet on the doormat!"
"..."
My dog will wipe its feet with the mat at the door, can you believe it?!
Walking into the living room, Naoki Nagayama took a towel to help Nyotaro dry his body... He turned around and saw Nyaotaro sitting on the verandah, looking at the rain outside, looking thoughtful...
...I feel like this fat orange seems to have seen through life...
"What's wrong with Meowataro...is your heart as calm as water?!"
At this moment, the timer for the automatic feeder came, and the tinkling cat food and dog food landed on the next disk.
I saw an orange shadow flash by, and when I blinked again, I saw that Nyaotarou had buried his head in the porcelain basin and started eating...
"Tsk... The Taoist heart has not been perfected yet~"
Letting the eager dog go and letting him go to have lunch, Nagayama Naoki turned his eyes around and didn't see Akina. He didn't see Akina when he went to the second floor, but his bags and shoes were already back. Akina
He must be back...
One advantage of a big house is that there is a lot of space to hide when playing hide and seek... Naoki Nagayama came to the other side of Yamazakura Yard. No one was seen in the bar and entertainment area downstairs...
.
I walked towards the second floor again. There was no screening room or dance studio... Finally, I heard the faint sound of music outside the recording studio.
When I opened the door and took a look, it turned out to be Akina inside...
In the strong rock rhythm, Akina Nakamori, wearing a long skirt, shook her body and sang a song along with the music:
“…..
あなたなしでは(without you)
生きてゆけぬ(I can’t live)
うぬぼれないで(Stop being narcissistic)
Words are not enough (Words are not enough)
男らしさを立てておくれ(Come and show your manly side)
..."
"The Heart of Roppongi (Sacrifice of Love in Roppongi)"....
The sound of opening the door woke up Akina who was immersed in the song. There was some surprise on her face, but she didn't stop when she saw it was Naoki Nagayama. Instead, she smiled and extended her hand to her boyfriend~
Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised, but he still walked over, took Akina's hand...and then started to shake with Akina to the music...
It was like being in a disco, dancing to some fast-paced music... When a song finished playing, the two stopped.
"This song?" Nagayama Naoki was surprised, "Why did Akina listen to it at home? And she was in the recording studio..."
"This is for a new song!" Nakamori Akina looked up and explained with a smile on her face, "It is an adaptation of the song based on the dance feel of "Roppongi Hearts"..."
"Isn't Akina's new song "solitude"?" Nagayama Naoki asked strangely.
“This is a song for the next album!”
Akina Nakamori explained that as a top idol, her album actually started production long in advance. "Solitude" has already been completed and is just waiting to be released.
"Don't you want to transform? After discussing with the producer, Teralin-san thought that you can try rock...and then you want to listen to this kind of classic... to accumulate inspiration..."
I see.....
Naturally Naoki Nagayama is very familiar with Akina Nakamori's transformation plan, and he also tried it in the previous "Babylon"... It seems that the next album will be dedicated to rock style~
Naoki Nagayama tilted his head and looked at Akina's face without heavy makeup. When her brows were furrowed, her beautiful cheeks looked a bit resentful... Who would have thought that Akina like this could also sing rock music!
"What's wrong~" Akina Nakamori looked a little shy.
"Just trying to imagine Akina singing rock music~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Super handsome!"
"Hahaha~" Akina playfully wiped her finger across her nose, "Angna who sings rock music must be handsome!"
"How shameless~"
"No..."
The two bickered for a while, and then Akina asked:
"Why did Naoki-san come back so early today?"
"Since I have nothing to do and I don't want to stay at the company, I said I wanted to come back and write something~" Naoki Nagayama didn't hide anything, "In this kind of weather, it's most comfortable to stay at home... Where is Akina?"
"Because the music selection meeting in the morning ended early...so I have time to rest in the afternoon," Akina Nakamori said.
"Have you chosen?"
"Because I have no clue at all!" Akina Nakamori laughed again, "That's why I came back to listen to rock songs first to accumulate inspiration..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's why you came to this recording studio that you haven't used in a long time?"
"Yeah... I'm worried about disturbing the neighbors when I play rock music..."
"Mingna...we have no neighbors~"
"..."
Now that her boyfriends are back, Akina Nakamori has no intention of continuing to listen to the song. The two left the recording studio while asking questions and returned to the resting side of the mansion. After lunch, Taro happily started again
Come to greet the host and hostess and have fun in front of them~
In a leisurely afternoon, I don’t want to go out...
Looking at the rain outside, Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment:
"Mingna, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway, would you like some wine?"
"Hey! What a great idea... Naoki-san, let's drink and watch the rain!"
Akina Nakamori readily agreed, and then happily prepared two dishes to go with wine in the kitchen. Naoki Nagayama took out two liters of cold beer from the refrigerator...
The two of them cuddled up together on the verandah, drinking beer and admiring the rainy scenery outside. They occasionally chatted and enjoyed their leisure time quietly.
A top idol, a well-known director and writer...
Who would have thought that when the two of them were resting together, they would be drinking beer and chatting at home~
"Naoki-san, there are more and more dance halls in Roppongi~" Akina Nakamori said casually, "When I went there with Kyoko-chan before, I saw a lot of people dancing... There was a lot of queues at the door~"
"Yes, it's getting more and more prosperous~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Brother Kaede's KTV in Roppongi is doing very well now, and it's full every day..."
The bubble has arrived, and people have more and more money, so they will naturally spend and have fun.
"So dance music has become more popular recently..." Akina Nakamori continued, "Dance music appears more frequently on the list..."
"Akina, do you also want to try dance music?"
"I have this idea..." Akina Nakamori nodded and took another sip of beer, "I want to sing the kind of song that makes people dance while listening to it..."
"Well....."
Naoki Nagayama also took a big sip of beer. The cool taste and the moisture from the rain outside made his head sober up.
"A song like "Roppongi Hearts"?"
"Haha, yes...but there's no need to be so exaggerated..."
"Roppongi Hearts" is also known as the crazy love song... What is even more impressive is the passionate performance on stage by lead singer ANN LEWIS and Yoshida Koji this year... at Neon Entertainment
In a culture like the world, it can be said that there is no lower limit...
"As expected, if I want to sing, I'd better do it in Roppongi..."
Nagayama Naoki murmured, and then he felt that the melody of "Roppongi Hearts" seemed to be ringing in his ears again... However, it seemed different from what he just heard in the recording studio?
The same drum kit, but this time it seems to be more lively than before...
It had been a long time since he had thought about the song. Naoki Nagayama realized at this moment that he seemed to be recalling something again:
"
You’ve broken my heart
rainy highway
He ran out of the parking lot with his car in hand...
...
"
My legs seemed to be shaking... There seemed to be a singer singing in my head...
"
.....
Who are you?
Roppongi for lost people
The void in my heart is filled with tears
...
"
As the lyrics became more and more comprehensive, Naoki Nagayama finally remembered the full name of the song... "Roppongi Pure Heart School"!!
In later generations, it was even covered by Hong Kong singers... No wonder he found this melody very familiar...
Just when Nagayama Naoki wanted to think more about it, to see if he could think about it a little more, after all, the current music library is not enough.
But at this time, I suddenly heard Akina’s voice:
"Naoki-san?!" "Naoki!" "....."
"Huh?" Nagayama Naoki opened his eyes and met Akina's worried eyes, "What's wrong?"
Seeing Nagayama Naoki open his eyes, Akina breathed a sigh of relief:
"I just called Naoki-san several times, but there was no response... I thought Naoki-san was drunk and fell asleep!"
"?"
Looking at the bottle of beer in his hand, Naoki Nagayama looked at his girlfriend as if he were looking at a fool... Your man is the kind of man who can never get drunk after a thousand cups of beer. Can a bottle of beer knock me down?
"what the hell!"
Offended by Naoki Nagayama's eyes, Akina Nakamori reached out and pinched her boyfriend's cheek.
"It was Naoki-san who didn't answer just now!"
"..... Hey hey hey, private Marseille~" Nagayama Naoki quickly asked Akina-sama to let him go.
"Hmph~" Akina Nakamori recovered, but she was still curious, "What happened to Naoki-san just now? Did you fall asleep?"
"No... I'm just thinking about something~" Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina sitting next to him, "Akina just said she wanted to try dance music? Like "Roppongi Hearts"?"
"Hey...but it's just an idea..."
Nakamori Akina watched her boyfriend suddenly stand up, and then pulled her towards the second floor. She subconsciously thought a little.
"Naoki-san, what do you want to do?"
"Go to the study!" Nagayama Naoki said enthusiastically, "I want to write this song down..."
"???" Nakamori Akina felt like she didn't understand something, "What song?"
"It's a song similar to "Roppongi Hearts"!"
"!!!"
Nakamori Akina's eyes widened and she watched Naoki Nagayama quickly come to the study with some dull eyes, then skillfully opened the drawer and took out the manuscript paper...and then buried her head in writing...
Soon, the score and lyrics of a song jumped out on the manuscript paper...
""Roppongi Pure Heart School"?"
"Well..." Naoki Nagayama showed the score to Akina, "It's somewhat similar to "Roppongi Hearts", but the tune is softer and the lyrics are smoother... It's more jazzy...
..”
"...."
Akina Nakamori was immersed in the score and hummed subconsciously...
Then I discovered that this is definitely a catchy dance song... a masterpiece as good as "Roppongi Hearts"...
And this song was composed by my boyfriend in five minutes just after I said it!!!
Akina Nakamori looked at Nagayama Naoki with some horror:
"Naoki-san... just tell me... are you an alien or not?!"
Akina rubbed Naoki Nagayama's face hard:
"Is there a computer brain hidden under this face..."
"..."
Naoki Nagayama held down his girlfriend’s squeezing hand.
"Mingna, if you act recklessly again, be careful of me exposing my true nature!"
