At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, Nishino Kazuki came to the Akimoto Yasu Co., Ltd. Office located in Kioi-cho, Chiyoda-ku. This is the headquarters center of many large companies and is also a popular and prosperous place.
The headquarters of Yahoo Japan also moved here this year.
Yasushi Akimoto is a non-executive director of the company, that is, he is responsible for the actual management of the company but does not hold specific positions in the company. He is only responsible to shareholders and the board of directors, and also supervises the company's executive directors.
Of course, even the company is named after him, so it’s not hard to see why.
When he went up to the building, Suzuki Takuya spoke to the lady at the front desk, and then several people were quickly invited upstairs.
When he opened the elevator, Kazuki Nishino saw an acquaintance. He said he was an acquaintance, but he had only met him once.
He was Kumagai Takahiro who was specially waiting at the elevator entrance to receive him. He was also one of the people who discussed the heroine of the TV series with Yoshio Konno and other managers at the Sony Music Building.
"Hello Nishino-san, long time no see." Kumagai Takahiro was very polite. Although he was much older than Nishino Kazuki, he didn't show any arrogance at all. He took the initiative to extend his hand to shake Nishino Kazuki's hand.
"Kumatani-san, good afternoon." Nishino Kazuki held his hand and then let go. Nishino was able to remember his name, which also made the other party feel happy.
"Teacher Akimoto is already waiting for you, please come with me." Kumagai Takahiro went directly to the topic, raised one hand forward in an invitation gesture, and then asked Nishino Kazuki to follow him.
Nishino Kazuki nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Kumagai-san."
Following Takahiro Kumagai through the short corridor, he came directly to Yasushi Akimoto's office.
Kumagai Takahiro knocked on the door.
"Teacher Akimoto, Nishino-san is here."
"Please come in."
A man's voice came from inside, it must be Yasushi Akimoto.
Nishino Kazuki has not yet met Akimoto Yasushi, and has only heard of his name. He admires this big shot in the entertainment industry. He has single-handedly created an idol dynasty, ranks first in CD sales history, and writes lyrics for songs.
The royalties are enough for him to live casually for a lifetime.
Kumagai Takahiro helped Nishino Kazuki open the door, and then called Nishino Kazuki's manager Suzuki Takuya to join him, leaving Nishino Kazuki and Akimoto Yasushi to talk.
"I'm sorry." Nishino Kazuki straightened his clothes and stepped into the office.
The first thing I saw when I entered the door was Yasushi Akimoto. He was no different from what I saw in Kazuki Nishino's photo. He had black-rimmed glasses and a black suit. His face was somewhat rounded, and his hair was combed very ordinary. If you ignore his identity
, this is completely an ordinary uncle.
"Teacher Akimoto, I am Nishino Kazuki, please give me your advice." Nishino Kazuki walked up to Akimoto Yasushi, bowed to him and greeted him.
"Nishino-san, this is the first time we meet. You are really young and promising." Yasushi Akimoto praised him, but of course it was just polite, "Please sit down."
Akimoto Yasushi was standing in front of his desk. He asked Nishino Kazuki to sit on the sofa, and then he sat down as well.
There was also a woman in her thirties who was wearing an office worker's uniform. She had a good figure and a face that looked like a star from the Showa era. She was probably Yasushi Akimoto's secretary.
"Matsui, make tea."
"yes."
As expected, he was Yasushi Akimoto's assistant. Kazuki Nishino nodded inwardly. Yasuko was also a romantic person at the time. At that time, the idol group Kitty Club he founded became popular all over the country, so he fell in love with one of them, but that person was also very popular.
They restrained him forcefully, even after marriage until now.
After the tea was brewed and he took a sip, Akimoto Yasushi spoke again: "Nishino-san, we've almost finished the theme song. To tell you the truth, I put a lot of thought into this song."
"Thank you for your trouble." Nishino Kazuki thanked him. After all, Akimoto Yasu was doing extra work.
"I've read the script written by Nishino-san and I think it's very good. Are you interested in writing lyrics?" Yasushi Akimoto suddenly mentioned this, leaving Kazuki Nishino stunned.
Looking at Nishino Kazuki's surprised eyes, Akimoto Yasushi smiled: "Don't get me wrong, I mean Nishino Kazuki is very talented, you can also try this aspect."
Akimoto Yasushi himself is a lyricist, screenwriter, writer, artist planning producer, director, original comic author, etc., but he always calls himself a "lyricist".
"Teacher Akimoto is so flattering, I know my own level." Kazuki Nishino said modestly, writing lyrics really depends on talent, everyone can write mediocre lyrics, but the key is to be outstanding.
"Seeing you reminds me of my younger self, but I was much sharper back then."
Nishino and Shu secretly thought shamelessly. Although Yasuko was quite handsome when he was young, he couldn't compare to him, right?
He also opened his own studio and served as a screenwriter and producer of TV series. I have to say that he does have a bit of Akimoto Yasushi's meaning.
Nishino Kazuki was quite comfortable chatting with Yasushi Akimoto. Yasuko was not as imposing as other entertainment industry tycoons. She was very gentle and spoke at the right pace. The two chatted about other small things.
"Nishino-kun, let's go to the recording studio next." Akimoto Yasushi looked at the time, changed his title to Nishino-kun, and then said to him, this is the business of today.
"No problem." Nishino Kazuki agreed, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, the female lead Nishino Nanase will also come together later. She also wants to record a version, so I called her here
Already."
Nishino Kazuki's explanation seemed a bit cumbersome, and Akimoto Yasushi crossed his arms with a look on his face that said, "Isn't this interesting?"
"Nishino-kun is indeed the same as in front of the TV."
"What?"
"I also like idols." Yasushi Akimoto put down his hands.
Nishino Kazuki was startled and took two steps with a look of guilty conscience.
"Of course me too." Akimoto Yasushi laughed, and Nishino Kazuki could also hear his joke about this and laughed in agreement.
"I've heard all about Nishino-kun's care for those children." Akimoto Yasu said as they walked.
"Compared to what Teacher Akimoto has done, I am nothing."
"But that's my job, and I can pay for it. Nishino-kun can't get anything except their gratitude, right?"
You are wrong, I got a lot. Nishino Kazuki secretly complained in his heart.
The two of them walked to the door, and when they were waiting for the elevator, Nishino Nanase happened to come up.
When the elevator opened, Nishino Nanase was startled.
Although Akimoto Yasushi is their chief producer, the two of them don't meet often, and most of the early announcements of singles were through videos or letters.
"Oh, it's Nishino, hello." Akimoto Yasu said hello.
Nishino Nanase's manager also followed, bowed and stepped aside.
"Next we are going to the recording studio, you should come with us."
"Hi."
Nishino Nanase lowered his head and bowed, and happened to see Nishino Kazuki blinking at her.
