Flying over the bubble era

When the circus concert was held for the first time, the band had just debuted, and its momentum could not be compared with what it is today. But even then, the scale of the first circus tour was already the top among singers.

Today, four years later, the band is a well-deserved national band. For this promised performance, the entire stage was beautifully set up, truly a moving amusement park.

When night came, the fireworks display bloomed above the concert just like four years ago. Four years ago and four years later, when I was at the venue and watching the performance, the same feeling ran through my heart.

I went to watch DREAMS COME TRUE's concert. In the audience, the person next to me was Okada Yukiko. This incident put Nakamori Akina in a surprisingly good mood.

Even she couldn't explain it clearly. But this concert has such magic.

……

After a high-intensity concert, there is no need for a post-concert summary. When they walked off the stage, everyone looked relieved. There was even a sense of fatigue not coming from the few hours of performance, but from the tight string - such a feeling.

But looking at Miwa-chan who was carried backstage by the staff, this feeling suddenly turned into a feeling of hypocrisy. However, Miwa-chan, who was exhausted and exhausted on the stage, regained her energy after taking a short break backstage.

There are singers who burn themselves on stage, and there are singers like Miwa-chan who have endless power.

"Keep singing until you die of old age."

Such words could not be more appropriate for Miwa-chan to say. No matter how much things have changed between now and the past, as long as Shinichi Iwahashi performs on the same stage with Miwa-chan like this, he feels that the promise he made to her when they first met must be fulfilled.

After the performance, Akina Nakamori did not come backstage again.

The three band members and the performance team went to the reserved restaurant to replenish the energy consumed after a large performance. The dinner after the performance is often the beginning. Everyone got together and had two drinks, and then everyone made arrangements.

Miwa-chan was the first to decide to go back to the hotel to kill chicken and relax, while Brother Nakamura made a plan to renew the stall with the accompaniment team. When Iwahashi Shin saw that the atmosphere was up, he said goodbye to everyone and exited the party.

When parting, Miwa-chan looked at Iwahashi Shinichi's face, showing an expression that she had already guessed what he was going to do, but hesitated to speak.

If she was allowed to speak, she would probably hear some sarcastic remarks again.

Iwahashi Shinichi tried his best to make eye contact with her, and the two of them unknowingly started the "who blinks first" game again before the concert started. This time, Shinichi Iwahashi competed honestly and gave in at the right time.

As soon as he blinked, Miwa-chan immediately shouted: "Shinichi-kun lost!" Satisfied, she waved goodbye to Iwahashi Shinichi and got into the car back to the hotel, leaving only Iwahashi who was half helpless and half amused. Shinichi.

After sending Miwa-chan away, Iwahashi Shinichi called Nakamori Akina.

After the performance, Nakamori Akina and Okada Yukiko's family members greeted each other, and then the two gathered for a while. This was the first time Okada Yukiko met after returning from her trip, and it was the time when she least worried about having nothing to say.

This time, Yukiko Okada traveled to China. Akina Nakamori remembered that Shinichi Iwahashi said that he was Chinese in his previous life. When Yukiko Okada talked about her travel experiences, she was particularly interested in it.

When Iwahashi Shinichi's call came, the two people were still talking lively.

"It seems the atmosphere is quite good." Iwahashi Shinichi heard her tone and smiled excitedly.

Nakamori Akina winked at Okada Yukiko and joked with him: "We are talking about your hometown, Shinichi."

"My hometown?" Iwahashi Shinichi responded and replied: "We had such a happy chat, it seems that I have a good impression."

Nakamori Akina laughed, "Of course." In front of Okada Yukiko, she said nothing else.

After announcing the rendezvous location, I hung up the phone. The atmosphere of the exciting conversation just now was cooled down by this phone call. Okada Yukiko stretched a little and said, "I'll go back to Tokyo in a few days."

As she spoke, she made a grimace and joked about her current job: "The first thing I do when I get back is to have a meeting with the editor."

Nakamori Akina made her laugh by pretending to be distressed, and joked: "Then I'll have to be the second in line to invite you to my house."

Okada Yukiko laughed at her: "This seems like a joke Iwahashi-san would make."

"It's a cold joke, right..." Akina Nakamori said, thinking it was funny at first.

Okada Yukiko "saw" the couple's love, but did not make fun of it. She showed a small smile and said, "I will pay a visit when I return to Tokyo." She remembered and asked again: "Are there two children living in Akina-san and Iwahashi-san's house now?"

Nakamori Akina subconsciously went to pick up the coffee cup, paused, and replied: "It's two girls."

Okada Yukiko showed a subtle nostalgic expression: "When I first arrived in Tokyo, I lived in the office president's house."

"Hikaru's parents went to Africa to study and stayed at home temporarily. Ayu-chan..." Akina Nakamori wanted to say that she was a discovered artist, but the way she looks now, it doesn't seem like that.

This tone of voice did not hide Okada Yukiko's observation. However, she didn't say anything.

Nakamori Akina followed Okada Yukiko's words and asked: "What was it like when Yukiko-chan lived in the president's house?"

Okada Yukiko thought for a while, "To be honest, I don't remember clearly." She was a little embarrassed, and paused before continuing, "President-san is a kind and serious person, and he pays attention to keeping his distance. Mrs. Chang She takes care of the boarding children and is very considerate of everyone. … It seems to be no different from ordinary boarding life.”

"The difference is that the artists who have already debuted in the agency often come to the house, and we are responsible for entertaining them and sitting with them." Okada Yukiko's boarding life was ordinary and peaceful. She lived in the president's house for a short time, and after her debut, she moved out and lived with her manager who also served as her guardian.

Nakamori Akina listened to Okada Yukiko's words and nodded slightly, wanting to think about something, but she couldn't concentrate.

Shinichi Iwahashi was not the boring president-san. Yukiko Okada at that time and Ayumi Hamasaki now were also completely different girls.

……

Iwahashi Shinichi came to meet him, and Okada Yukiko didn't plan to say anything more, so she said goodbye first. Iwahashi Shinichi teased her, "I also want to hear you talk about my hometown."

Okada Yukiko also already knew what "hometown" was about, and responded to him: "We will talk about it after I return to Tokyo. It's boring to keep talking about the same thing in the same night."

Facing her playful look, the couple both smiled.

The three of them said goodbye on the street. Okada Yukiko smiled and waved to them: "See you in Tokyo~ Akina-san, Iwahashi-san."

Akina Nakamori waved, and Shinichi Iwahashi watched her walk to the taxi quietly. After seeing off Yukiko Okada, Nakamori Akina glanced at her husband and saw his gentle expression, and a warmth surged through her heart, as if she and he were a brother and sister-in-law who were bidding farewell to their little sister.

"The performance ended successfully." Shinichi Iwahashi reported to her as if he was exhaling a breath of exhaustion.

Akina Nakamori replied: "Thank you for your hard work. It was a very exciting performance. Yukiko-chan and I were busy supporting each other, as if we were participating in an amusement park project..."

Iwahashi Shinichi heard the comment he wanted to hear the most and couldn't help but smile: "If that's the case, it will really be a 'mobile garden party.'"

On Saturday night, this time is the time to welcome guests.

The two of them understood each other tacitly, and walked together along the street, slowly walking farther. This is not my first time walking in Nagoya.

It was late at night, and Shinichi Iwahashi realized later that it seemed to be raining. The weather was pretty good during the day and when the concert was on. At this moment, it looked like it was going to rain.

"It doesn't matter." Iwahashi Shinichi looked at the sky and took Nakamori Akina's hand: "Akina is a Haruonna."

Nakamori Akina asked him to make such an inexplicable joke. She didn't roll her eyes, but she was amused. "It's very stressful to say something like this when it's about to rain," she said.

"What if it starts raining - like this?"

Akina Nakamori held his finger, and Enen nodded vigorously, "If it starts to rain - it will no longer be a sunny girl." What she said was serious.

"What if it's not Haruonna?" Iwahashi Shinichi teased her.

Akina Nakamori glanced at him, "Of course you should hurry up and get out of the rain - you did it on purpose, right?"

Iwahashi Shinichi was exposed and didn't defend himself, he just laughed. Akina Nakamori couldn't help but feel disgusted, "Shinichi, you just like to tease people."

She looked like a girl when she complained angrily. She didn't realize why Iwahashi Shinichi liked to tease her.

Nakamori Akina's complaint came and went as quickly as it came. The two of them walked slowly, and before they knew it, they were close to each other again and talking about other things. The fact that they can walk hand in hand makes neither of them look Japanese.

The approaching rain faintly urged them. Iwahashi Shinichi felt the moist air and asked her, "Do you want to go back first?"

"Huh?" Akina Nakamori responded lazily.

Iwahashi Shinichi's tone changed to asking: "Aren't you going back to the hotel with me?" At this time, if you want to go back to Tokyo, you can only take a taxi...

He turned to look at Akina Nakamori and met her sly eyes. When she was still at home in Tokyo, Akina Nakamori promised to do what Shinichi Iwahashi did.

Shinichi Iwahashi had no choice but to confirm with her: "Do you want to go back?"

However, looking at her cunning eyes, I always felt that things were not that simple. Nakamori Akina pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't want to just do what you did, Shinichi..."

She still wanted to do what she wanted to do but couldn't do at that time.

This time, Akina Nakamori asked him: "Do you want to go back?"

"Huh?" Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't react.

The situation has completely changed. When she decided to take the initiative, Akina Nakamori firmly took the initiative in her own hands.

At times like this, Iwahashi Shinichi remembered how independent she actually was.

Nakamori Akina also asked: "Aren't you going back to Tokyo with me?"
