Chihara Rinto has no objection to celebrating the New Year with Hitomi Konoe. He likes the friendship between friends of this silly girl, Hitomi Konoe. It has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women. Although this silly girl often does things that are completely irrelevant, it is very disappointing.
She was speechless, but she had a sense of justice, ideals and perseverance, and she was simple enough. Qianhara Rinto felt that it was very easy to be with her. He laughed and scolded her very freely, and he couldn't hate her at all. Moreover, he really didn't want to spend the New Year alone.
Loneliness kills people. In this strange world, he feels uncomfortable whenever he is free. He feels empty in his heart, like a rootless duckweed. It is really not a good feeling.
Of course, he would rather spend the New Year with Bai Ma Ningzi. When he thinks of Bai Ma Ningzi, he always feels a faint warmth, as if his soul has some kind of sustenance (he can't help it, he can't help it), but he has a family, and it's not his turn.
Spending the New Year with me is a waste of time.
He agreed immediately and took over the responsibility of New Year's shopping at the same time so as not to increase the financial burden on the two little girls. Then in the afternoon, he strolled to Hitomi Konoe's house.
Hitomi Konoe has been living in Tokyo for a year, and she is very lucky. Murakami Iori and Chihara Rinto take good care of her, especially after following them to Kanto United TV Station, her income is quite good, so naturally she no longer lives in the attic.
, rented a small apartment in Minato District, and after Chihara Rinto rang the doorbell, Sakazumi Izumi opened the door for him.
Banquan was still the same as before, wearing slightly baggy home clothes and not looking like a musician at all. There was still some buckwheat flour on his hands, and he smiled a little shyly. He bowed and greeted directly: "Teacher Qianyuan, welcome.
"
Qianhara Rinto glanced at her hand, smiled and said in return, "Thank you for your hard work."
He can cook, but his skills are mediocre. He just came here to eat for free today, and if he thinks about it with his butt, Konoe Hitomi's cooking skills are probably pretty bad, so he will basically have to work hard at Sakaizumi Spring Water.
Izumi Sakazumi smiled even more shyly, let him into the living room, poured him tea, and gave him some mandarin oranges to eat, one of the New Year's goods that Rinto Qianhara ordered a few days ago. It was so expensive.
Hitomi Konoe shouted in the kitchen: "Izumi, is it Senhara-sensei here?"
Qianhara Rinto smiled and responded: "It's me, excuse me!"
"It's okay, it's okay, the New Year celebrations are lively when there are many people!" Hitomi Konoe shouted cheerfully and then fell silent, while Rinto Chihara peeled the oranges by himself, indicating to Sakasen Izumi that he didn't need to be a guest, and asked with a smile: "I heard
Ah Tong said, Miss Banquan moved out and lived on her own?"
Banquan Quanshui nodded: "My aunt doesn't agree with me becoming a singer. She wants me to continue working in the grocery store. She keeps making noises. I can't convince her, so I have to move out."
After she finished speaking, she felt like she was being "ungrateful" and quickly added: "I will help them save some money every month. After all, my uncle's family raised me, and I will never forget this kindness."
After she finished adding, she still felt something was not right, so she quickly added: "I'm not saying just give me money, but for the time being I can only express my feelings with money..."
Qianhara Rinto felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he smiled directly and said: "I understand what you mean. Just have a clear conscience about this kind of thing. I can understand it."
"As long as you understand." Banquan Quanshui responded softly, paused and said seriously: "Thank you, Teacher Qianyuan, for giving me the opportunity to realize my dream."
She had already received her first payment, and she had officially made her debut as a singer. She had wanted to thank Chihara Rinto for a long time, but Chihara Rinto had been busy filming at the "Unnatural Death Research Institute" for a long time, and she could not find the opportunity.
Qianhara Rinto smiled and said: "It's your talent. I've listened to both the theme song and the interlude, and the effect is very good. I should thank you for your hard work on the show."
Banquan felt even more embarrassed and said shyly: "You are too generous with the award. It is the result of the joint efforts of the music supervision team. I just did what I should do."
"Of course, it is the result of the joint efforts of many people, but you did also pay a lot."
"No……"
In fact, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, so they fell into a cycle of politeness for a while, and Hitomi Konoe called from the kitchen: "Izumi, the dough is ready, come and take a look!"
Izumi Sakazumi quickly apologized to Chihara Rinto and got into the kitchen again. Soon Konoe Hitomi came out patting the flour on her hands.
Chihara Rin knew her very well and asked directly: "Why don't Yasuda-san come over?"
His financial advisor, Shintaro Yasuda, is also an unlucky guy. He currently lives in the attic where Konoe Hitomi used to live. Chihara Rinto thought that he might be miserable during the Chinese New Year, so he asked Konoe Hitomi to call him.
Hitomi Konoe shook his head: "It seems he can't come over. He said he wanted to see his daughter."
"Did his ex-wife let him see her?"
Hitomi Konoe sighed: "I don't know, but he just wants to go."
Chihara Rinto nodded, feeling that it was quite embarrassing, but he couldn't control this kind of thing, and there was nothing he could do about it. Hitomi Konoe felt that the topic was a bit sad and not suitable for the New Year atmosphere, so he immediately changed the topic and asked
If Ban Quan Shui's song is to be filmed on MTV, is it suitable for her to star in it? Ban Quan Shui has a special affection for her as her first fan, and wants to help her career. He plans to recommend her to play the heroine. After all, how good is the singer in this aspect?
I also have some say, so I don’t have to use it in vain.
Chihara Rinto was not too polite to Hitomi Konoe, and directly told her that she couldn't film a shady MTV. He would definitely give priority to Hitomi Konoe first, but forget about the aesthetic type of MTV, because her appearance and temperament are simply not compatible with her.
Hitomi Konoe was a little disappointed, but it was expected and he didn't take it to heart. He pulled Chihara Rinto to talk about some gossip about the TV station, and soon started laughing again.
The two good-for-nothing guys were chatting here while waiting for a free meal. Banquan Quanshui was very proficient in housework and quickly put the New Year's Eve dinner on the table.
Japanese people eat "New Year's Eve soba noodles" during the Chinese New Year, which is equivalent to Chinese dumplings. Banquanquan Shui rolled the noodles with his own hands, cooked a large pot, drained the water and put a large plate full, and everyone ate it.
Dip it in mashed radish, egg juice or seasonings to create a show atmosphere.
The rest of the dishes are basically cold food platters. After all, it is a Japanese tradition not to cook during the Chinese New Year. Most of them were prepared a few days ago or simply bought from the supermarket, but Chihara Rinto is quite satisfied.
Now. If he doesn’t celebrate the New Year here, he has to eat instant noodles in his apartment. He’s not even in the mood to do all these tricks. It’s good to be able to do this!
Hitomi Konoe didn't care anymore. She was an upright girl who didn't even want to go back home. She poured herself a large glass of wine and started making noises, saying she wanted to have a happy New Year.
Qianhara Rinto didn't stop her, and let her drink during the New Year. He also poured a glass to drink with her, while Sakazumi didn't drink, so he poured juice and clinked glasses with them with both hands.
They were laughing and chatting while eating New Year's Eve dinner, and at 7:30, the traditional Japanese New Year's Eve program "Red and White Song Battle" began.
This is equivalent to China's "Spring Festival Gala". It is organized by the Japanese Broadcasting Association NHK. It is equivalent to a large-scale singing variety show. The most influential singers of the year are selected from the Japanese music scene and divided into two teams. The male ones are
The white team, the female team is the red team, and then the two teams compete. At the same time, they are also in line with international standards. Overseas singers are invited to participate every year. Famous singers such as Teresa Teng and Alan Tam in the original world of Chihara Rinto have participated many times. Twelve
It seems that groups like Girls Band have also been invited as guests.
And this program has a long history, it started in the 1950s. It was originally a radio program on NHK, and it was only planned to be held once, but the response was unexpectedly good, and it was held again the next year.
The response was still very good, and then it became a regular practice, held every year, and then transplanted to television, and has continued until now, and it has been held for the 45th time.
There is nothing special about this program, just singing, which seems to be very monotonous, but the viewing habits accumulated over time are very strong, and the ratings are extremely terrible. The highest record of more than 81% is relatively early, and it may be a little watery in the statistics, but in
Last year, it still had more than 50% ratings, but this one has little success.
Chihara Rinto watched it for a while and felt that the National Broadcasting Association (NHK) was taking too much advantage. No wonder it didn't care about its ranking on the hit list. With this kind of program in hand, it would be released at the end of the year and guaranteed to be number one every year. No one could compete with it.
It can make my colleagues almost mad, and what’s even more outrageous is that NHK will also insert news in the "Red and White Song Battle", and the audience just buys it without any opinions. This is really speechless.
Hitomi Konoe and Izumi Sakaizumi are loyal viewers of this show. Even if they are now eating at Kanto United Television, they still have to contribute ratings to NHK on New Year's Eve. They feel that it is natural to watch this show on New Year's Eve.
Especially Hitomi Konoe, who commented on the singers while watching. She only liked inspirational cheer songs and scorned love songs and rock music.
It was almost half past nine, and NHK released a news special. This was the second half of the Kohaku Uta Battle. Konoe Hitomi was not interested in the news, so she turned to Chihara Rinto and asked: "Chihara-sensei, please explain
Can Nian Quan Shui participate in the Red and White Song Competition?"
She had full confidence in Ban Quan Shui and thought she would be a big hit, but Ban Quan Shui was startled and waved her hands quickly: "I can't do it, I... how could I participate in this kind of show."
This is a show that is conservatively estimated to be watched by 60 million people. She is just an unknown singer now, and she will never reach the top of the red and white song competition. But Hitomi Konoe was obviously very excited after drinking some wine, and he hugged her hard.
He said seriously: "Why can't you participate? You must be ambitious!"
Banquan Quanshui stopped talking. If she dared to say that she could participate in the Red and White Song Competition, then everyone would laugh their teeth off, right? They are the most influential group of singers in the year.
Chihara Rinto smiled and spoke for Konoe Hitomi: "It is indeed not impossible. It would be better for Ms. Sakaizumi to be mentally prepared early." "Lemon" has indeed appeared in the Kohaku Uta Battle, and Sakazumi Izumi is in this other world.
It is indeed possible for a substitute singer to participate.
Sakazumi was even more panicked and didn't know what to say. She admired Qianhara Rinto very much. She didn't want to refute his words, and she wasn't sure whether he was joking. She could only whisper: "I just want to be nice."
Sing, don’t think about anything else..."
Hitomi Konoe didn't like her lack of ambition, so he slapped her shoulder hard and shouted: "You must consider it, you will definitely be able to go! Next year, Chihara-sensei's works will be a big hit, your works will be a big hit too, and my works...
...I also want to be able to participate in good works, and we will all succeed!"
Ban Quanquanshui said helplessly: "A Tong, you are drunk!"
"That's impossible. I can drink three bottles from such a big bottle, and I've only drank one and a half now!"
The two girls, who were about the same age, were fighting over the bottle of wine. Qianhara Rinto didn't care and continued to drink his wine leisurely, with a smile on his face. It was very relaxing for the three of them to celebrate the New Year together.
Better than one person, even listening to Konoe Hitomi's nonsense makes me feel happy.
…………
This New Year's Eve dinner lasted quite a long time. Hitomi Konoe behaved like a wild girl. He didn't say anything about drinking himself, but even dragged Rinto Chihara to drink with him. It wasn't until around 11:30 that the Kohaku Uta Battle ended.
Then Konoe Hitomi suggested that everyone go to the "First Harmony" shrine early tomorrow morning to ask for a good omen for the new year. If it weren't for Chihara Rinto and Sakaizumi Izumi pulling her, she would have gone straight out to find a temple to pray for.
bell.
When Sakaizumi forced her to sleep, it was past twelve o'clock. When she walked out of the room, she found that Chihara Rinto was also asleep, probably because she was drunk.
She didn't wake up Qianhara Rinto, and found a thick blanket to cover him. Then she knelt down and watched Qianhara Rinto in a daze for a while. She saw him sleeping with his brows furrowed tightly, a little bit.
I wanted to reach out and smooth it for him, but I didn't dare.
After a long time, she turned off the light and silently went back to find Hitomi Konoe.
