Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1478 1479. Tokyo Friends
Maiko Haruyama, who wrote the letter, lives a life dependent on her mother. Ayumi Hamasaki also grew up in a house of women, but the Hamasaki family in Fukuoka not only had a mother, but also a grandmother.

But the difference between Ayumi Hamasaki and Maiko Haruyama is definitely not here.

Ayumi Hamasaki was not as naive as Maiko Haruyama, and his mother Akiko was not the kind of person who would be encouraged or rejoiced by a song. When she learned about the mother and daughter of the Qingshan family who depended on each other, she first had questions:

My mother, Zhang Zi, is not that kind of person. What kind of person is she?

After reading the letter from Maiko Haruyama, I felt some unspeakable strong emotion, which hit the unprepared Ayumi Hamasaki.

Ayumi Hamasaki has never thought about life with her mother, just as she has been pursuing her imaginary father in a reckless and ignorant way.

……

After Shinichi Iwahashi read Maiko Haruyama's letter, he wrote a reply for her and invited her to visit the record company. Afterwards, Maiko Haruyama’s mother contacted the record company and arranged a date to visit.

On Sunday morning, Shinichi Iwahashi picked up the coffee without hesitation, while reading the newspaper and chatting with Akina Nakamori.

"So, Maiko-chan will visit the company today?" Akina Nakamori confirmed with him.

Iwahashi Shinichi answered her: "The agreed time is ten o'clock in the morning."

"I don't know what kind of child he is." She showed a little curiosity.

Iwahashi Shin proposed, half jokingly and half seriously: "If you are curious, would you like to go to the company together?"

Nakamori Akina complained about her husband, "It's too casual." Then she laughed again and said to him: "Maiko-chan likes GENZO singers."

This mother and daughter, who have never met, sent this sincere letter that moved Shinichi Iwahashi because of their pure love for the GENZO singer. If you go to meet them just to satisfy your own curiosity, you will be tarnishing this love.

This Akina Nakamori has a kind of purity that is born in her bones and without thinking.

Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while, "Maiko-chan is probably about the same age as Hikari."

Although Utada Hikaru is not a "GENZO singer", she will go to the company with Shinichi Iwahashi today. Two children of similar age might be able to play together.

On the other hand, Hamasaki Ayumi, although she insisted on letting Shinichi Iwahashi read the letter, had no interest in meeting Maiko Haruyama.

On Sunday morning, Hamasaki Ayumi took Kenta for a walk. When she came back, Shinichi Iwahashi was getting ready to go out. Utada Hikaru packed his schoolbag and put it on his shoulder. Before setting off, Shinichi Iwahashi asked Hamasaki Ayumi: "Ayu won't go to the company today?"

Hamasaki shook his head and told him: "I have an appointment with someone."

Iwahashi Shinichi was somewhat interested and asked her, "Have you made any friends?"

"That's right." Hamasaki Ayumi's tone was ambiguous.

Iwahashi Shinichi was thoughtful, "It's been a while since Ayu came to Tokyo." His slightly emotional tone sounded a little aggrieved to Hamasaki's ears.

She blurted out: "Iwahashi-san just remembered?"

"What?" Iwahashi Shinichi raised his eyebrows.

The puppy Kenta broke away from Hamasaki Ayumi's arms, followed closely by Hamasaki Ayumi and walked away as quickly as possible. Iwahashi Shinichi was confused, and Utada Hikaru, a child, added fuel to the fire: "Iwahashi-san doesn't even pay attention to Ayu-chan."

Iwahashi Shinichi had no choice but to lower his head and look at her; "You should stop joining in the fun."

"Can't I?" Utada said sharply.

She seemed to be saying that Iwahashi Shinichi allowed Hamasaki to be willful, but did not allow her to be willful. Iwahashi Shinichi had such an association and couldn't help but worry about himself. But Hikaru Utada's personality is to say whatever he wants, and he is definitely not jealous of Ayumi Hamasaki.

Rather, this child is using his accidental interest. Utada Hikaru didn't care what Iwahashi Shinichi was thinking. After saying what she wanted to say, she went out happily, ran to the car, and greeted Shinichi Iwahashi's driver and clerk energetically.

Iwahashi Shinichi was teased a little by this child and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

……

When it was almost noon, Hamasaki went downstairs and prepared to go out. At this time, she was alone at home, and the puppy Kenta heard the noise and ran to her feet.

"I'm going out, Kenta."

Hamasaki said goodbye to the puppy and walked out the door. Today, she and Ayako made an appointment to go shopping together.

When he first came to Tokyo, Hamasaki was most looking forward to going shopping with Akina Nakamori. It didn't matter whether he had friends in Tokyo or not, just being with the envied Akina-san made him feel content.

I don’t know whether Ayako is her friend, but she is the first “Tokyo native” to go shopping in Tokyo with her.

Today, Maiko Haruyama will visit the record company. When he first went out, Hamasaki Ayumi still had this incident in his mind. At this time, Iwahashi Shinichi was probably meeting the child in the small reception room.

Isn't that president Sang so kind to every child?
Ayumi Hamasaki was thinking about something.

"Ayu-chan is a mysterious person."

Ayako suddenly made this assertion when she and Ayumi Hamasaki were acting together. Ayumi Hamasaki seemed to have been tapped on the shoulder unexpectedly, and looked back with confusion.

"What kind of life is Ayu-chan leading? What kind of life do you come to Tokyo for?" Ayako asked two questions in succession. Without waiting for Hamasaki Ayumi's answer, she first spoke in a cynical tone. Said: "I don't know anything, but I still come to Tokyo."

Ayumi Hamasaki seemed to be despised by Ayako, and not to be outdone, he replied: "Isn't this the kind of place Tokyo is?"

No matter what your goals are, or even, whether you have goals or not, you can come to Tokyo. The country people in Fukuoka showed their nobility in front of the people in Tokyo.

Ayako seemed to be dazzled by the sharp edge she accidentally showed. She narrowed her eyes slightly and then smiled, "It would be a shame for someone like Ayu-chan not to come to Tokyo."

Hamasaki Ayumi did not react to Ayako's words.

The two girls had a very rich schedule. Hamasaki Ayumi and Ayako ate, drank and had fun together, leaving all their vague emotions behind.

In the evening, Ayako and Hamasaki discussed, "How about I invite my friends to play?"

Hamasaki Ayumi was in a happy mood, "I have no objection."

"By the way," Ayako suddenly remembered and asked Hamasaki, "Does Ayu-chan know? A disco has exploded recently... It seems to be related to that GENZO record and Komuro-san."

Ayumi Hamasaki had never thought that he was stunned when he heard about GENZO from Ayako.

Ayako felt that her reaction was too exaggerated and showed a speechless expression.

Ayumi Hamasaki came back to his senses and saw Ayako's sarcastic face. His heart skipped a beat and asked her: "Ayako, have you been there?"

"Unfortunately, not yet." Ayako said without thinking.

Hamasaki responded with a sarcastic look. Ayako understood and laughed.

At this moment, Hamasaki felt that Ayako was indeed his friend.
