Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1535 1536. Taking charge of the overall situation
The New Year after getting married is very different from before.

This New Year was more lively than ever before, with guests visiting almost every day. Singers from the GENZO group also came to the Iwahashi family for a big gathering.

ZARD, who just won the Record Awards, also brought the trophy for Shinichi Iwahashi to admire. They are all family members, and the singers are free to do whatever they want at Iwahashi's house, which really feels like the "Iwahashi family".

Akina Nakamori is now cheerful, happy to meet people, and likes the lively atmosphere at home. Without any effort, she is already a very qualified head of the family.

After the New Year, the live-in maid returns and takes on the responsibility of entertaining guests.

However, as the hostess, Akina Nakamori would still show up and serve a cup of tea to important guests out of courtesy. If the guests were friends that the couple knew well, she would sit down and chat with them.

The pregnant wife played the role of "Mrs. Iwahashi" so appropriately and naturally, as if the two were born as one.

Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her busy figure and suddenly remembered that year when he followed Mayumi Watanabe to visit Mori Susumu's family, it was Mori Masako who brought them coffee.

Time passed, and now, the eldest son of Mori Jin's family has reached the age to appear at his father's parties.

The son of two famous singers, at such a young age, some people in the industry joked that he had unlimited potential to become a singer. However, Mori Shinichi seemed to have no interest in letting his son follow the path he had taken, saying that the child was not cut out to be a singer.

Shinichi Iwahashi thought of this, and in the evening, after the guests left, he chatted with Akina Nakamori. She smiled and said, "Mori-san's eldest son, how old is he now? Mori-san said that, what if he wants to be a singer when he grows up?"

Shinichi Iwahashi was amused by her series of questions and joked with her, "It seems that the person who spoke too early is not only 'Mori-san', but also 'Nakamori-san'."

...What a cold joke.

Akina Nakamori was displeased, "You can just tell me that I'm impatient."

"But what you said does make sense. Make a decision about your child's future early. If the opposite happens, you will be the one worrying."

"What about Shinichi? Have you ever thought about what your child will be like in the future?"

Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "As long as they are safe, healthy and grow up happily, that's all that matters." After a moment's thought, he added, as if with lingering fear, "It's another matter if you're the right material for it, but if not, don't start a business on a whim."

It's not that he said this for no reason, but he just heard gossip these days that Misora ​​Hibari's adopted son Kato Kazuya showed his talent and lost a lot of money left by his adoptive mother as soon as he entered the industry. No matter how much money you have, it can't withstand the expansion of ambition.

"Ah?" Nakamori Akina was surprised. Then she suddenly had an idea and said, "It seems that the person who thinks too much is not only Shinichi-san, but also Shinichi-san."

A cold joke is indeed cold, but if you can develop a second cold joke from it, it will become extremely funny.

The couple laughed together. After spending so much time together, they could even share jokes.

……

There were guests visiting the house, and Shinichi Iwahashi also went out to pay New Year's greetings.

During the first month of the year, he went to the Watanabe family's old house to visit Watanabe Misa.

No matter how the industry changes, as a veteran who created the current entertainment industry, Watanabe Misa has a transcendent status. Throughout the first month of the year, the Watanabe family was very busy, responding to visits from the industry and organizing one artist gathering after another.

The huge reception room was used at this time. The old people in the office chatted with Misa Watanabe, while the new people were busy running around. Yoshida Miki, who inherited Watanabe's style, followed her parents' style and served the apple pie she baked herself, creating a lively atmosphere.

Yoshida Miki and his wife took charge of the situation, and Mayumi Watanabe also returned to the old house to entertain the guests. The three women of the Watanabe family were all dressed in decent dresses and looked radiant. In private, Shinichi Iwahashi said to Mayumi Watanabe: "I thought you would wear kimonos."

Mayumi Watanabe knew he was teasing her and said sarcastically, "Why would you wear a kimono when entertaining guests? This isn't a TV show."

Iwahashi Shinichi joked, "I can't help it. I've only seen big families like yours in TV dramas."

"Stop it." Mayumi Watanabe didn't buy his nonsense.

Shinichi Iwahashi failed in his challenge to Mayumi Watanabe, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened, asking, "What about you? Did you invite the artists from your agency to your home during the first month of the year?"

Mayumi Watanabe said seriously: "It's better for no one to come to the home of the lonely female president."

"It sounds like some scary place."

Mayumi Watanabe smiled, "You are really supportive."

"You're welcome." Shinichi Iwahashi said quickly.

Mayumi Watanabe didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became cold.

Shinichi Iwahashi went to meet Misa Watanabe, who was also present with two directors of Watanabe Production and a senior executive of a TV station. It was a routine New Year's greeting during the first month of the year, but after saying some polite words and sitting for a while, he said goodbye and left.

Mayumi Watanabe saw him off, but she had no intention of going back. The two walked along the high wall of the Watanabe residence. Shinichi Iwahashi realized it later and sighed: "Mayumi-san's house is really big."

"When my father and mother bought this place, Tokyo was not what it is now," said Mayumi Watanabe.

Shinichi Iwahashi looked up and observed the branches sticking out from the fence. It suddenly occurred to him that when he regarded walking in the high-end residential area as the best date, he never thought about the past and present of each street while walking on the road.

The weather was very good and sunny during the first few days of the New Year. Facing the sunlight, Mayumi Watanabe squinted her eyes and suddenly asked him, "Do you know Namie Amuro?"

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "It's not even five days yet, and we're already talking about work?"

"Relax, just think of this as a casual chat about the latest hot topics. ... Judging from the reaction, you've also heard of that kid's name." Her tone was quite relaxed.

"Even you come to talk to me about this child. I guess she has been in the spotlight recently."

Mayumi Watanabe commented: "That child has the potential to be a star, you can tell at a glance."

"There are four hundred groups of singers debuting in the record industry every year. Those who can seize the opportunity to shine all have their own strengths." Although Shinichi Iwahashi did not pay much attention to this girl, he also knew the simplest truth.

"The Burning department is promoting this kid. In the record industry, the more newcomers the better." Mayumi Watanabe paused, "It would be best if there were newcomers who created a sensation every year."

Iwahashi Shinichi heard something else, "What does Mayumi-san mean?"

"Although I don't understand music, I know that producing a band and producing a pop singer are not the same thing." Mayumi Watanabe asked her question.

"What's the reason for creating a realistic 'Komuro Disciple'?"

She turned around, met Iwahashi Shinichi's gaze, and asked in a different way: "In other words, how can President Suoh's interests be maximized on this basis?"
