Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1417 1418. Celebrate a Cup

Where there is a giraffe man, DREAMS COME TRUE will always be found first.

On TV, the host of the red group, Ishida Hikaru, introduced that the song to be sung next is called "Tears".In order to sing this song together, the stage is full of stars at this moment.

The big names gather, making people dazzled.However, as long as you look for the giraffe man, you can find DREAMS COME TRUE in the first time.

their favorite band.

The band is approaching its fifth anniversary since its debut.Junko and her daughter, Maiko, have followed the band since their debut on Band Heaven.Been a loyal fan for five years.

In the past five years, the band has developed rapidly and has already become an out-and-out national band.

Maiko officially became a primary school student last year. When her daughter grows up, there are more places to spend money, and Junko has to work harder.In the past five years, Junko has also dated one or two boyfriends, but every encounter, whether it is a beautiful love at first sight or a natural love for a long time, ends in dismal in the end.

Single mothers, for some reason, are always easy to provoke a little boy who does not seek to make progress.Moreover, Junko has hidden worries in her heart, and she absolutely does not want her actions to cause trouble for Maiko.

In the distant 60s, when even Junko was just a child, there were a large number of dual-career families.In the period of rapid development, there are many employment opportunities, and as long as you work hard, you can live a better life. The struggling parents divide into two groups and hand over the keys of the home to their children.At that time, a popular phrase was born in the world, "the child with the key".

Last year when Maiko officially became a primary school student, Junko hung the key to the apartment around her daughter's neck.However, stepping out of the house and stepping into the society, what unfolds in front of Junko is not a period of rapid development in which she can live a better life as long as she works hard, but a bleak scene of the bubble bursting.

For single-parent families whose mothers are engaged in manual labor and do not even have a single brick or tile of their own, whether the bubble is blown or not has nothing to do with them.

At the peak of the bubble, Junko once thought so.

It was only when the bubble burst that Junko realized that even though the colorful bubbles had nothing to do with them when the bubble was blown up, even a single droplet of soap bubbles after the huge soap bubble burst might make a family like theirs drench into tears. Drenched chicken.

The world is in a downturn, and the factory where I work, the face of the boss is also full of sadness.I have been working in an izakaya for several years. In the past few years, the office workers who were always beaming and gave generous tips are now also clamping their tails.Wage growth has stagnated, but the burden of supporting a family has risen sharply.

Before Junko, sometimes she secretly thought in her heart that the customers who came to the store did not look like Japanese office workers.

Now, when they start to plan carefully, how to spend the whole night with a glass of beer and two chicken skewers, Junko is secretly anxious because the business in the store is affected and her salary is also affected. The office worker in the office, now, finally coincides with the image of the office worker in my impression.

Junko's impression of office workers comes from her parents.In the period of rapid development, they worked hard to support the whole family, even if they lived a "life of [-] million middle-class people", they were a generation of budget-minded people.

However, the two generations of office workers have different starting points for careful planning.Junko's parents are very careful and careful, which comes from the living habits they have maintained for many years.Nowadays, the careful budgeting of office workers comes from financial constraints.

……

After New Year's Eve, tomorrow is the new year.Maizi will not stop growing up, but what the new year will look like is still unknown.

Junko was originally a simple person with short-sightedness and no long-term plans. She always had the energy to work hard, and it was fine when everything was going well. Once the road ahead was bumpy, she would not realize that she was right for everything until she stumbled. No understanding.

However, also because of her simple personality, even though the mother was shrouded in the cloud of recession, she also felt worried in the sighs of the people around her. However, when she returned to this small apartment, she and her daughter Maiko depended on each other. Damn, everything about the future was completely forgotten by her again.

Compared with the nameless worries that you can't see or touch, and you can't find a clue, the dependence with your daughter is the truth.

At least, I can live with Maiko.If it is for Maiko, even if there are real difficulties in the future, he can overcome that hurdle. ... For Junko, a single mother, this kind of thinking is not just "lucky".

Maiko, who was watching TV, suddenly let out an "ah".

Junko put away her thoughts and turned her gaze to the TV screen. The giraffe gentleman from DREAMS COME TRUE, this New Year's Eve, also participated in the red and white song meeting as usual.In the picture with him, he is always the most conspicuous one.

But at this moment in the picture, on the left and right sides of the giraffe man, there are Nakamori Akina and the band's Yoshida-san standing respectively.

There are two singers on the left and one on the right, and in the middle of them is a man wearing a giraffe headgear. This picture, almost at the same time, makes Junko laugh.

She smiled and said to her daughter, "Kirin-san looks completely out of the situation."

Maizi agreed with her mother's words, but she also thought of another thing, "However, the three of them stand together, and they seem to have a good relationship."

Children sometimes speak without restraint, and sometimes catch the point unexpectedly.

Junko responded, opening her eyes wide.But at this moment, the screen on the TV switched, and the camera showed Akiko Wada standing in the center.Full of spirit, she gave the beginning of the chorus.

"..."

Junko nodded, and commented: "Qiu Zisang's singing voice is still as good as ever~"

Maiko still has some reluctance to let go of the topic just now - she won't be unhappy because of being interrupted, this is Maiko's advantage.She continued talking to her mother enthusiastically, "Where KIRIN-san is present, the atmosphere becomes very gentle."

For Maiko, the giraffe man in DREAMS COME TRUE is like a character in a fairy tale.

Listening to her daughter's words, Junko agreed, "After all, the person who can live in harmony with Kirin-san who suddenly appeared will not be someone with a bad personality. Because the surrounding atmosphere is very gentle, Kirin-san will appear."

Her tone seemed to be telling a fairy tale to her daughter.

Maiko listened with gusto.

A few years ago, she had received a letter from the band Giraffe Boy. Kirin-san sent her origami giraffe.Received a reply letter from her favorite giraffe man, which became a cherished memory of young Maiko.

Although, after that, Maizi wrote another letter to the giraffe man, but never received a reply.However, Maiko was not disappointed or discouraged, but with the vision of wishing on the stars, when she wanted to write a letter, she sent her own letter.

On the TV screen, the camera scanned the combination of DREAMS COME TRUE and Nakamori Akina again.The two singers are concentrating on the harmony. It is obvious that the audience is the one sitting off the stage and in front of the TV, but at this moment, this scene gives people a wonderful impression. It seems that the giraffe man standing in the middle is the audience. The audience of the two of them.

"This year, Akina-chan is newly married." Junko suddenly said in a brisk tone.

Maizi couldn't hear the subtle emotions in her mother's voice, so she nodded ignorantly, "However, Ming Caijiang still looks very fashionable."

"Will you become old-fashioned when you get married?" Junko touched her daughter's head with a smile, and casually talked about a past event, "Speaking of it, the relationship between Ming Caijiang and her husband was made public. When they were on TV together , Maiko-chan also said that Kirin-san from DREAMS COME TRUE may be Akina-chan's husband."

Junko still remembers the innocent reasoning of the girl's words, but Maiko, who seemed to be speaking logically at the beginning, has long since forgotten her original whimsy.

At this moment, when her mother brought it up again, her reaction was a little confused, "Really?"

"Maybe." Junko replied with a smile.

Of course, Junko didn't really have such doubts about the identity of the giraffe man.It was only because I still remembered the reasoning my daughter made back then that I regarded this as a "maybe" possibility.

Ma Yizi stretched out his fingers and scratched the hair on his forehead. "Chibi Maruko-chan" is on the air, and many girls of her age have similar hairstyles.Maiko has a round face, and this hairstyle looks very cute.

She thought hard for a while, and gave a completely different reasoning from herself back then, "However, Kirin-san and Mei and Jiang have such a good relationship..."

Already a primary school student, after having accumulated some impressions of "relationships between men and women" in the process of having house wine and watching soapy TV series, Maiko's perspective on the problem has also undergone a naive change of pretending to be mature.

Listening to her daughter's reasoning, Junko was speechless at first, and then laughed.

……

The star-studded song "Tears" ended smoothly.In the chorus, there is no emphasis on being brilliant, but on being safe.For these big names or popular stars who have gone through the storm, it couldn't be easier.

Backstage, DREAMS COME TRUE returns to the lounge.

This time, today's hot pot New Year's Eve dinner can finally start.Meihechan was in high spirits, revealing her casual personality like a primary school student.

Back in the lounge, she was not in a hurry to change clothes, she stood beside Shinichi Iwahashi, with one hand on her hips, and the other hand spread out in front of him, waiting to take back Shinichi Iwahashi's giraffe headgear.

Yanqiao Shinichi had just taken off the hood, and when he saw her like this, he felt an urge to take the hood back for an instant.

... I don't know if it will trigger the hidden plot of "Meihejiang pulls out the giraffe's head".

He couldn't do anything with this guy, so he handed over the hood.

Meihejiang succeeded in his goal, and raised his chin proudly, signaling him to go in and change his clothes first.

Waiting for the three members of the band to change out of the performance costumes prepared for this chorus—because the overall style of the stage must be considered, this set of costumes is quite satisfactory and has nothing to do with the band’s usual explosive aesthetics. After a while, the same Akina Nakamori, who went back to change clothes, also came to join them again.

At this time, the TV was turned on again and tuned to the channel of the Record Awards.The most important event of the record awards, this year's annual awards, will be announced soon.Akina Nakamori came at the right time, and Meihechan, who was holding her breath, distracted herself to call her over.

Sitting with Miwa-chan, Akina Nakamori became nervous as if infected.

"Then, the winners of the annual awards will be announced next—"

"TRF, BOY MEETS GIRL!"

"Congratulations!"

On the TV, the host's tone of announcing the winner of the grand prize sounded particularly straightforward after he had done his best.While the name of the single was announced, the camera captured the TRF group in the audience.

In the venue, cheers from the audience resounded.Under the camera, the singers who attended the award ceremony also gave their applause.

The follow spot lights on the stage open the way for the members of the group and send them to the stage.

And in this small lounge, when the host announced the name TRF, it was almost synchronized with the applause and cheers on the TV screen. applauded.In this situation, it seems that the supported team scored a key point at the last minute and won the final victory.

Iwahashi Shinichi originally thought that Miwa-chan's reaction was exaggerated, but with Nakamori Akina and the two of them together, this situation is not so strange, and it even makes people want to smile.

Brother Nakamura also joined in at this time, he showed his trademark smile, and congratulated Yan Qiao Shen: "Shen Yi-kun, it's really amazing."

In addition to the strength of singers, there is also the competition and competition between record companies for the big award.Although it is the most authoritative among many music awards, many things are "relative to".

The singer of GENZO Records won the most important grand award, which means that Shinichi Iwahashi has managed steadily and steadily in the past few years, completed the most important foundation, and has the strength to build a building.

Brother Nakamura regards himself as half of the man in black behind the scenes.At this moment, compared to Miwachan and Akina Nakamori, who were cheering for the goal, the two of them knew more clearly what this moment meant.

On the TV screen, the group TRF came to the middle of the stage, and the lead singer Yuki Kitamura, as the representative of the group, said the acceptance speech that had been drafted in advance.

Within two years of their debut, this group won the annual sales champion and won the record award. The members have an unexpectedly calm temperament.Although his qualifications are low, but regarding the matter of winning the grand prize, he came very calmly.

Iwahashi Shinichi saw the general demeanor of the members on stage, and seemed to see the confidence of this group.Confidence in Tetsuya Komuro.

At this time, the two women who were celebrating their goals just now finally remembered another important thing.In other words, this matter is the most important thing.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations~ Shinichi-kun!"

Akina Nakamori and Miwa-chan congratulate Shinichi Iwahashi.As soon as the words fell, before Yanqiao Shenyi could react, Mihe-chan immediately changed the subject, "Then, let's have a drink first!"
