Flying over the bubble era

1458 Chapter 1459. The same roof
Ever since Utada Hikaru moved into the Iwahashi family, the couple sometimes came home too late and couldn't help but miss the children at home.But after adding Ayumi Hamasaki to the family, this concern actually faded away.

At least, when the couple are not at home, the two girls can be each other's company. Thinking this way, they feel much more relaxed.Although the matter of "being a companion" may be a kind of wishful thinking on the part of adults.

"Before, Xiaoguang showed me something very interesting..." Akina Nakamori remembered something and talked to Shinichi Iwahashi with a smile.

Yanqiao Shinichi guessed together, "Is it a bottle cap, a sticker, or a felt doll?"

Elementary school student Hikari Utada lives a regular and self-centered life, often making his own arrangements for his own actions, which seems very mysterious.Occasionally, she would come back from a trip and bring back a small thing she accidentally picked up on the road. She would treat it as a novel discovery and show it to Iwahashi Shinichi.

During the time when Utada Hikaru lived in the Iwahashi family, Iwahashi Shinichi had some understanding of the child's hobbies.However, Nakamori Akina deliberately spoke mysteriously, and most likely the answer would not be that simple.

"That's not right~" Akina Nakamori announced that she had guessed all wrong and said the correct answer: "She took it at the filming site of the movie, Shinichi, how you looked when you starred in the movie."

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled helplessly when he thought of the child dangling around with a handheld camera at the shooting scene.

"I'm very grateful to her for showing me this, it's very interesting." Akina Nakamori was very happy.

Iwahashi Shinichi teased her, "It's funny."

"It still looks pretty decent. ... This is your first time acting, Shinichi." Akina Nakamori said, planning: "After the movie is released, I will go to the cinema to watch it."

Go to the cinema to see how your husband can be so cool that he gets killed in just ten seconds?

In fact, it may not even last ten seconds...

Shinji Iwahashi thought of this and smiled: "Maybe I won't be able to do it. I finally managed to shoot this scene, but Mitani-san called me later and said that the scene was not very coordinated and might be cut out later. It's just a guest appearance to tease people."

Akina Nakamori laughed, "Is that so?" She thought for a while, "However, if that Mitani-san said to you on the phone, maybe he was really trying to trick you. He said so, but then kept it. Shen Yi's performance will shock you."

Reversal, reversal, right?
Iwahashi Shinichi thought of Mitani Yuki's serious way of making fun of others but not finding it funny himself, and felt that Nakamori Akina's guess was not unreasonable.He came up with a playful heart, and discussed with Akina Nakamori, "Let's make a bet, how about it?"

People who can't win the lottery and can only live in the billiard room have the courage to set up a gambling booth.

Shinichi Iwahashi is very courageous, Akina Nakamori readily accepts the appointment, and just waits for the movie to be released to see how it turns out.

There are two more girls in the family, so the topic inevitably comes to them.After chatting and joking about Hikari's interesting things, Shinichi Iwahashi asked casually: "How do Ayu and Hikari get along?"

After Ayumi Hamasaki moved into the house, he didn't pay much extra attention to this girl.Akina Nakamori thought of Ayumi Hamasaki who came to Tokyo for Shinichi Iwahashi, but was treated coldly by him, and felt that this girl was a bit pitiful.She thought for a while, "Ayu is a child with a very delicate heart..."

"So, we just don't get along very well." Shinichi Iwahashi joked about his wife's words in a subtle way.

Akina Nakamori was a little annoyed at him, "This reaction seems to have been expected."

"This kind of thing needs special anticipation." Yanqiao Shinichi replied.Anyway, either they get along or they don't.He took a fancy to Mori Akina and was a little unhappy, so he changed the topic: "Fortunately, you are standing between the two of them."

"The two of them didn't quarrel." Akina Nakamori felt that her husband's words were exaggerated and was amused.

Shinichi Iwahashi also laughed, "But, both Ayu and Hikaru like you." After Hamasaki moved into Iwahashi's house, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't pay much attention to her, but she liked to stick to Akina Nakamori all day long.

No, after hearing her husband's words, Nakamori Akina smiled, but her tone was quite serious: "If this is the case, it will be easier to have a bad relationship."

"Is this Akina-san's experience?" Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately changed his name to her.

Akina Nakamori nodded, "That's right." She thought for a while and changed her subject: "But in my opinion, the person Ayu likes is you."

"You like to fight against me." Iwahashi Shinichi remembered how Ayumi Hamasaki pointed at his nose instead of his nose.At this point, I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of Miwa-chan's famous saying, "Adolescent girls hate their fathers the most."

"Even so, you should be kinder to Ayu." Akina Nakamori joked.

After that, the couple stopped talking and stopped talking about the two children at home.

After enjoying dinner, the couple moved to another place and had another drink.At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori suggested, "It's been a long time since I went dancing."

Nakamori Akina immediately agreed, "What a great idea~!"

This somewhat exaggerated reaction attracted the attention of people nearby.She shrank back, as if she was using Shinichi Iwahashi as a hiding place.Although he looked guilty, in a direction that only Iwahashi Shinichi could see, Akina Nakamori stuck out her tongue at him a little naughtily, becoming a vivid girl.

Rather than saying that she was shy about her attention-grabbing reaction, it was more that she was showing off to Shinichi Iwahashi.

……

After Ayumi Hamasaki moved into Iwahashi's house, he learned that the president-san was busy every day and had some kind of entertainment almost every night. Sometimes he would be outside by himself, and sometimes he would call Akina-san, and the couple would dress up. , go out together.

April is the beginning of the year in the entertainment industry. Shinichi Iwahashi not only has to arrange major and minor affairs for the record company, but also has to socialize with people from TV stations and the record industry.As long as the other party's wife is present, Nakamori Akina, the wife, will definitely attend.

Whenever the couple went out together, Hamasaki and Utada stayed at home.Sometimes, Akina-san's assistant named Momoi comes to help.

When Ayumi Hamasaki moved into the Iwahashi house, he imagined a life under the same roof, and also imagined a life as an uninvited guest who invaded other people's homes.Unexpectedly, after moving in, the first thing I felt was the loneliness of living alone.

Ayumi Hamasaki follows Fuji TV's September [-]th drama "Under the Same Roof" every week.

Kashiwagi Koyuki, played by Noriko Sakai, is the only child in this big family who is not related by blood to her brothers and sisters.She was adopted by the Kashiwagi family, and then adopted by relatives after the death of the Kashiwagi couple.After the death of a relative, he began to live alone.After moving from one family to another, I ended up alone.

It was because she couldn't bear the loneliness of being alone, that's why she fell into an affair with her boss. But after being found by her brother, the big family once again waved to her. After she was no longer alone, she was able to make up her mind to be with her. Say goodbye to that life.

Ayumi Hamasaki was moved by Noriko Sakai's delicate performance in the TV series. He did not expect that her acting skills were so natural, and her mind was also affected by the role played by Noriko Sakai.

High school life in Tokyo is quite boring, even more boring than when I was in Fukuoka.This may be because after arriving in Tokyo, Hamasaki Ayumi has never lived like an ordinary female student, rather than a delinquent girl.

Compared to Fukuoka people, Tokyo people are much more indifferent.However, it was not a kind of external xenophobia, but a kind of polite indifference.Sometimes, there is even enthusiasm among the indifference.Ayumi Hamasaki does not crave the enthusiasm from his classmates.

In Horikoshi High School, even students who are not in the artist class still look very fashionable.Although there are rules on grooming such as banning ear studs, students still try to dress up in details.As for the artist class with relatively looser discipline, everyone is more casual.

Artist classes are rarely full, and there are always a few people who are absent for various reasons.However, there are at most one or two people in a class who really have a bit of fame and can be treated as real "artists".

After coming to Tokyo and enrolling in an artist class, I realized how many people dream of becoming stars.

Ayumi Hamasaki once had an ignorant star dream in the past, and now, he is also imagining what kind of artist he will become in the future.But now what makes her have this kind of imagination is no longer a "star dream", but a more specific goal.

……

Tonight, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori also went out together.Ayumi Hamasaki returned to Iwahashi's house. Hikari Utada heard the noise and stood in front of the entrance hall to greet her: "You are back."

"Iwahashi-san and Akina-san will be back later." Utada Hikaru looked at her.

Ayumi Hamasaki arranged the shoes he had taken off and stood up, "I understand, thank you."

Utada Hikaru suddenly smiled, and stretched out her hand, "This is a gift for you." In the palm of her open hand lay a sparkling rhinestone sticker.

Facing such a gift, Ayumi Hamasaki was a little overwhelmed.He came to his senses and stretched out his hand.However, with Hikaru Utada's sly eyes, Ayumi Hamasaki felt that she was playing tricks on her.

Even though he was just a primary school student, Ayumi Hamasaki always felt like he would be teased by her when he faced her.

Hamasaki Ayumi didn't feel this way about Utada Hikaru because he hated her, but when facing her, he always felt an unspeakable guilt.

Hamasaki held the sticker in his hand and returned to his room, thinking about where to put it.She pulled out a girl's fashion magazine from the bookshelf on her desk, looked at the fancy cover, and compared the sticker.

At school today, someone in class came to strike up a conversation with her.Ayumi Hamasaki casually browsed the text on the cover of the magazine, recalling this incident in his mind.

During the break in the morning, someone stopped by her desk, bent down, and asked, "Tachibana Peach Jam, right?"

He was a tall young man. Hamasaki thought he looked familiar, so he didn't react for a while.Not only that, when he came to talk to him, the classmates around him all looked here, which made Hamasaki feel a little unhappy.

The boy showed a cheerful smile and introduced himself to her: "I also starred in "Twin Teachers". We met on the set. My name is Nagase Tomoya."

The last name Nagase sounds familiar.Ayumi Hamasaki nodded politely, showing an expression of realization, and replied: "Hello." While thinking about this boy in his mind.

She first thought of Miho Kanno, who was very friendly to her at the filming site, and then what she heard about Nagase from Miho Kanno slowly came to mind.

After Nagase Tomoya took the initiative to talk to her, that day, a girl in the class took the initiative to talk to her.

Hamasaki has a lukewarm relationship with his classmates. He is neither treated lightly nor receives extra attention.When I first entered school, among the classmates, each had a bit of curiosity about each other, and wanted to know what works each of the artists in the artist class had acted in, and what firms they had signed.

However, it didn't take long for this curiosity to disappear. The students in the artist class were well-informed. It was immediately clear who in the class was a real artist and who was just a newcomer dreaming of becoming a star.

Ayumi Hamasaki, who signed both a management contract and a recording contract at the same time, is considered by everyone to be someone "not to be messed with".

But Tomoya Nagase is the man of the hour in the class.

Johnny's JR is a member of a band that has already appeared in TV series and variety shows even though they haven't even debuted yet. Not only that, he also has a title-titled series on NTV that has great ratings and big names from all over the world have participated as guests. , he may make his debut at any time.

In this class where most people only dream of becoming stars, Tomoya Nagase, who has a clear path and has appeared on TV many times, is a veritable star and a man of the hour in the class.Fortunately, the plot in shojo comics about "the most popular person in the class talks to you, thus attracting the jealousy of others" does not really happen in reality.Although incredible things often happen in reality, reality is not a cartoon.

The classmate who talked to Hamasaki was out of curiosity about her. After learning that the two had only filmed the same TV series, they turned their attention to the fact that Hamasaki had participated in the TV series.

"Ayu is pretty awesome!" Hamasaki blushed when being flattered like this.

But the reason for shyness was probably because he knew that the female classmate's reaction was just out of politeness.

In contrast, what the female classmates really like to talk about is Nagase's deeds.But Hamasaki Ayumi was not interested in these. He just heard them talking about the group Nagase was in and when NTV had a program with high ratings, he remembered that Miho Sugano told him that Shinichi Iwahashi also participated in the production of that group.

……

After the two girls moved in, the busiest time of day at Yanqiao's house was the morning.

When Akina Nakamori prepared breakfast, Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada helped her.The spacious kitchen specially built by the Iwahashi family in order to allow the chef Akina Nakamori to fully display her skills, can accommodate three women, one senior, one junior, and one junior. Occasionally, a puppy who listens to the wind and rain will run to join in the fun.

When the kitchen seemed a little busy due to the large number of people, Utada Hikaru withdrew from the battle, "Kenta and I went to wake Iwahashi-san~"

The puppy followed her feet, and one person and one dog went to find trouble for Iwahashi Shinichi.Every time at this time, Hamasaki Ayumi felt suppressed and out of breath.However, I don't know how to act.

"How is Ayu's life at school?" Akina Nakamori spread out the egg roll and asked Hamasaki.

When there are just two of you in the kitchen, it becomes a great place for small talk.

"It's okay." Hamasaki replied, "It's easier to get used to than I thought."

"That's good." Akina Nakamori nodded.

Hamasaki thought for a while, "But, I'm not an excellent student."

"What does that matter?" Nakamori Akina said with a smile, "I'm not a good student either. Iwahashi-sanya..."

Iwahashi-sanya what?
Nakamori Akina glanced at the gurgling soup in the pot, scooped a little, and asked her: "Ayu, do you want to help me taste it?"

Before Ayumi had time to imagine Nakamori Akina's hesitating words, the warmth towards Nakamori Akina surged in his heart, and he felt the kindness and warmth that Nakamori Akina treated her in this home.

Makoto Iwahashi was lukewarm to Ayumi Hamasaki, which made Akina Nakamori feel more affection for this girl.

After breakfast, Akina Nakamori was unmoved and handed a cup of coffee to her husband.Shinichi Iwahashi flipped through the newspaper and chatted with Akina Nakamori.

At this moment, Utada Hikaru returned to the room.Hamasaki looked at Shinichi Iwahashi and wanted to talk to him.Thoughts were going around in my mind, and I suddenly remembered Nagase Tomoya's name.She said: "There is a classmate in the class who seems to be a newbie made by you."

"Really?" Iwahashi Shin didn't even raise his head, "But I should only sign you, a high school student."

"His surname is Nagase." Hamasaki Ayumi felt his throat tightening.She regretted that she shouldn't have brought up Tomoya Nagase's name as a topic, but she had to bite the bullet and continue, "It's JR from Johnny's, and there seems to be a group."

Iwahashi Shinichi got distracted from the newspaper and looked at her, "Are you in the same class as this Nagase?"

"I heard," Hamasaki's voice was a little louder, "the group he is in will be debuting soon."

Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, "Ayu's information is better than mine."

"what?"

Ayumi Hamasaki showed a mocking expression.Iwahashi Shinichi saw this and explained to her: "I participated in the production of TOKIO, but when Nagase-kun's group will debut depends on what Johnny means. However, such rumors can spread, It can be seen that the popularity of the group has attracted considerable attention.”

Iwahashi Shinichi teased Hamasaki, "Are you here to test your tone?"

Nakamori Akina looked a little anxious as she listened to Shinichi Iwahashi say hurtful words one after another.She didn't understand why Iwahashi Shinichi, who was calm and gentle, treated Hamasaki like this.

Hamasaki contradicted him, "What if it is?"

Shinichi Iwahashi joked: "Akina-san's fame cannot be used casually, and the same goes for Iwahashi-san's fame."

At the beginning, it was Hamasaki himself who spoke righteously and reminded Iwahashi Shinichi not to use her love for Nakamori Akina to impress her.In the end, it was Iwahashi Shinichi who really moved her.Now, Shinichi Iwahashi teased her with the words she had said, and Hamasaki felt ashamed.She replied seriously: "I didn't."

She is the one who is joking, and she is the one who is serious.Iwahashi Shinichi felt that this girl was unpredictable.

Ayumi Hamasaki was full of grievances, but had no way to relieve himself. It was as if he had gone too far in his joke, and then he mistakenly thought that he had done something he did not do.

She raised her eyelids and saw that the cup in Iwahashi Shinichi's hand was empty, and suddenly asked him hurriedly: "Do you want another cup of coffee?"

In a panic, Hamasaki picked up Shinichi Iwahashi's cup.

"Please~"

At this time, another cup of coffee was brought to the table, and Nakamori Akina made a please gesture to Iwahashi Shinichi.Hamasaki was startled for a moment, feeling like he had done something he shouldn't have done.

Nakamori Akina took the drunk cup away from Hamasaki Ayumi and gave her a comforting smile.But for some reason, as I held this cup, a subtle shadow flashed across my mind.

Iwahashi Shinichi looked at Hamasaki's bewildered reaction and remained silent.

In the morning, Akina Nakamori was going to the TV station to record a program, which was earlier than the two children who were going to school.The old manager and assistant came to pick him up, Yanqiao Shenyi sent his wife out, turned around, and urged the two girls: "You two, get ready to go to school."

Today, the last person to go out was Iwahashi Shinichi.

Utada Hikaru raised his little head and bargained with him: "Akina-san will not be so cold."

Iwahashi Shinichi responded with ease: "If someone in the family is gentle, then someone must be more severe."

Utada Hikaru nodded: "Is this the so-called strategy?"

"That's right." Iwahashi Shinichi readily admitted.

Utada Hikaru couldn't resist him and ran back to the room.Yanqiao Shinichi looked at Ayumi Hamasaki, and suddenly asked her: "Are you still used to it at school?"

Ayumi Hamasaki blinked, "It's nothing I'm used to or not used to."

Yanqiao Shin smiled, "Always answer in this style."

"Do you think this is an inappropriate answer?"

"There's nothing appropriate or inappropriate."

Iwahashi Shinichi was gentle and clever, and teased her with what she said.Ayumi Hamasaki showed a teased expression and asked him: "Are you disappointed in me?"

Her expression was like that of a child whose flowers had been torn from her hand.

Iwahashi Shinichi was stunned for a moment.After thinking for a while, he answered her: "Maybe I let you down if you think so."

"No..." Hamasaki couldn't continue.

Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly asked her: "What is your impression of Nagase-kun?"

Hamasaki stared.

Iwahashi Shinichi told her: "I have an appointment with the producer of NTV today, maybe we will talk about the TOKIO program." Since April, the broadcast time of this program has been moved forward by 10 minutes, which means that it is more important. high.

Hamasaki Ayumi quickly replied: "I'm not familiar with him, I just said a few words. ... Do you want to know him?"

Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "I don't think so."

"You don't even think about it, but you still ask me." Hamasaki replied.

Iwahashi Shinichi was amused, "That's right." He looked at Hamasaki Ayumi, "I apologize to you, Ayu."

Why apologize?

Apologize for what?

Such thoughts came to Hamasaki's mind, but a small smile appeared on her face.

Iwahashi Shinichi lowered his head and looked at his watch, "You probably have no training sessions scheduled today..." He discussed with Hamasaki Ayumi, "After school, do you want to go to the company to have a look?"

The worries and worries in the girl's heart suddenly disappeared.
