Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 318
The idols who don’t want to leave regrets and the audience who don’t want to leave regrets, the two parties working together with such a simple wish, made the atmosphere of the whole concert surpass every performance since Yukiko Okada’s debut.

Even the bosozoku teenagers in fancy clothes are usually avoided outside. At this moment, when they waved the light sticks in their hands to send support, the audience who are also fans did not feel noisy.

Watching Okada Yukiko's performance, Iwahashi Shinichi saw her performance on stage, and while being infected by her wonderful singing and solid and steady typhoon, he couldn't help but think in his heart that he deserves to have received the orthodox idol training of SUNMUSIC , was regarded as an idol created by Seiko Matsuda's successor.

Although it may not be top-notch in terms of strength, but in terms of all aspects, the standard is definitely first-class.

With the development of the times, the model of idols is also constantly being updated. In the past, the "orthodox youth school" who started from the most basic things and cultivated little by little has become less and less, and the public's tastes tend to be personalized idols. .

As soon as Yukiko Okada retired, the orthodox idols cultivated according to the model of Yukiko Okada became the face of SUNMUSIC. At the same time, they were also regarded as the last defense of the traditional model by traditional managers like Shinro Mizoguchi.

Shinichi Iwahashi, who gave Yukiko Okada a standing ovation when she made her debut, sat in her seat to enjoy her performance after the performance started.

Akina Nakamori stood up together with him tacitly. Although the two were close to each other, they did not communicate any more. Instead, they looked in the direction of the stage again like two ordinary audiences.

Such an approach may not be out of a tacit understanding. Like when we first met at the Budokan, we regarded the matter of "watching the performance as an ordinary audience" as a gesture of respect to Yukiko Okada on the stage and to each other. respect.

……

The concert went on until the end, and Okada Yukiko mentioned the topic of "final" for the first time.

Before the word was spoken, it was a grand concert with far more joy and excitement than before.And when the music stopped and she said the word "finally", her regret spread from the stage to the entire venue like the ripples on the water surface when a stone was thrown into the water.

"Today is the last performance."

In the encore segment, returning to the stage, Yukiko Okada faced the audience with her innocent and pure smile that was her trademark when she debuted.

When she debuted innocently, she was called a "little princess from the land of love", and she is still participating in "STAR!During the "Birth" competition, she captured the hearts of many audiences with this smile.

Later, the girl's innocent smile was stained with a little melancholy, and her eyes were no longer as lively as before. At one point, she looked worrying, like a plastic flower that had lost its vitality and a doll without a soul.

"It has been four years since I debuted as a singer."

From the big screen, I could see that Yukiko Okada's eyes were shining brightly, as if she had been given eye drops.But that is not artificial eye drops, but a natural expression of emotion.

Compared with when he first debuted, his eyes are of course no longer so innocent, but after going through that bad time and recovering, he regained his agility and liveliness again.

"When I was young, I dreamed of becoming an idol. Later, I participated in "STAR! Birth" and debuted as an idol. I sang songs by many outstanding musicians and had such great fans."

Okada Yukiko paused, "I feel very happy that my dream has come true."

"Come on, Yukiko—!!"

From the auditorium, there was such a voice of encouragement.

From deciding to focus on studies and reduce idol work, to announcing that he will retire.It seems that after deciding not to cling to being an idol, Yukiko Okada smiled more on her face, and she was no longer in a worrying state like before, and gradually regained her vitality again.

Such a significant change let fans know that Okada Yukiko's decision to retire is extremely firm.Therefore, since I am still willing to come to this venue for her and cheer for her final performance, I only wish to bless her.

"Thank you! Thank you everyone!"

Hearing the encouragement from the audience, Okada Yukiko choked up and bowed vigorously to the auditorium.

Decided to retire, leave the public eye in the future, and choose a new life path.Facing the audience's support, Yukiko Okada felt a little guilty, but more grateful.

Before her debut, she aimed to become an idol, and after her debut, she worked hard as an "orthodox idol". She thought she had understood what kind of job an idol is, but until she reached the last step of her idol career, standing in the venue of the Budokan, she The last piece of the jigsaw puzzle about understanding idols was filled in, and at the same time, I realized the meaning of idols again.

Idols are jobs that bring dreams to the audience, and idols are entrusted with the dreams of their supporters.It was because of realizing this that Okada Yukiko was even more grateful to those who came to the venue today.

She announced her retirement, which made the dream of supporters no longer possible.However, they are still willing to come to support her and send blessings for the new life she is about to start.She couldn't help but be moved by the tenderness of the audience.

"After today's concert is over, I, Yukiko Okada, will officially retire from the entertainment industry." After saying this, Yukiko Okada couldn't bear the tears any longer. Close your eyes.

"come on!"

"Yukiko-chan!"

The audience chanted her name loudly.

Okada Yukiko stabilized her emotions, and then continued, "From now on, I will continue to live as an ordinary person. Although I have left the stage, in the past four years, I have heard from the audience and fans. I will remember the support and love I received for the rest of my life, and even as an ordinary person, I will carry the memories of these four years and go on dignifiedly.”

"Everything so far, and everything in the future, thank you very much!"

After saying this, Okada Yukiko bowed deeply and did not straighten up for a long time.During this long bow, a hoarse male voice suddenly sounded from the audience, "Thank you! You Xizi!"

Then, as if awakened, the audience in the audience also shouted to Yukiko Okada on the stage: "Thank you! Yukiko!"

Although the dream of supporting You Xizi will wake up after doing this, but it is because of Yu Xizi's existence that such a dream can exist.

When the idols on the stage thank the fans, the fans off the stage are not grateful to the idols.

……

The loud "thank you" made Okada Yukiko's weak tear glands completely burst, and the tears made the concert process impossible for a while.

When she cried, the audience in the audience began to applaud her.

Being in such a venue, watching Yukiko Okada crying uncontrollably, Nakamori Akina's lacrimal glands seemed to be stimulated.

When she first met Okada Yukiko, she still regarded becoming an idol as a path she must take in life. The high expectations placed on her by the firm did not overwhelm her, but instead made her full of energy.

At that time, Yukiko didn't feel the heavy pressure on her body, and she didn't know anything about the bitterness of love.

When Yukiko learned about these things, and almost risked her own life for it, and finally chose to return to the basics and take another path, Akina Nakamori was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.

However, seeing her tears made her think of herself again.

Once upon a time, she also regarded the rapid retreat bravely, getting married, having a husband and raising children as a path that must be taken in life. Even if she endured pain for this, she firmly believed that she could reach the end.

The family that Akina Nakamori lived in when she was a child lacked love and warmth, and she wanted to build her own family. In this desire, it may not be hidden a kind of resistance psychology-to have a home of her own, she can get rid of her original life from the heart. family.

If you have a home of your own, then the wounds of the past can be healed and everything can start again.

When she was a child, she liked Momoe Yamaguchi, and the perfect life template in her eyes was Momoe Yamaguchi.If you want to have a happy family after becoming an idol, that's what Baek Hye-sang is like.

Although she had such longings, she did not meet her Miura Yuka.

When Masahiko Kondo was promiscuous before, she still hoped in her heart that one day he would change his ways. However, in the previous grand prize incident, the despicableness of his character exposed by him caused Nakamori Akina to have deep feelings for him. deep suspicion.

Even if a daughter has to bear the fate of a woman who is as sad as a mother, and endure her husband's promiscuity, but can such a person with a problematic character build a family with him that heals past wounds and has love and warmth?
Akina Nakamori gradually realized that Baihui-san's perfect life was not because she did the right thing at the right time, but because she met someone who could heal her wounds and realize her dream with her.

After the Grand Prize incident, Masahiko Kondo was refrigerated for a period of time because of the scandal, and recently came back one after another with the support of Johnny. Although the response was not good, the popularity that was already declining was even more affected this time.

However, in Nakamori Akina's heart, unexpectedly, she did not feel anxious about him as in the past. Masahiko Kondo was angry with her, and she had a cold war with her until now, and she did not have such a strong idea of ​​repairing the relationship.

At this time, his younger sister Akina Nakamori signed a contract with the agency to prepare for her debut. Akina Nakamori was skeptical about the policies formulated by the agency that her younger sister signed.

This younger sister sees Akina Nakamori's kindness as sabotaging her path to success.

Housework has always caused Nakamori Akina a headache, and what happened to Nakamori Akina made her physically and mentally exhausted even more.Thinking that Masahiko Kondo would most likely be sneering at Akiho Nakamori's matter, and now she is in a cold war with him, she was relieved.

However, problems always have to be solved.

I came to see Yukiko's concert today, seeing her, Akina Nakamori was deeply moved.Yukiko got into a dead end and almost lost her life, but in the end she was able to give up her idol status, walk a new path, and start a new life.

Seeing Yukiko Okada like this made Akina Nakamori feel shaken and doubtful about what she has always insisted on.Do you want to continue on the road you have been on for a while, or do you want to take a new road?

The year Okada Yukiko committed suicide, the year she chose to retire, had not yet passed her 21st birthday.

Life is so long.

Akina Nakamori blinked vigorously, but for some reason, she quietly turned her head and glanced at Shinichi Iwahashi who was sitting next to her.Probably because this person led Yuxiko out of the dead end and showed her the new road.

This is a person who can bring hope to others.

……

Shinichi Iwahashi was staring at Yukiko on the big screen at this moment, unaware that Taopu Star next to him was watching him quietly.And from the corners of his tightly pursed lips, he could see this scene, which also touched him.

To be able to call a curtain call at the Budokan and return to the life of ordinary people. It is undoubtedly the best ending for an idol career to end in this way. Not many idols can have such a successful career.

However, thinking of Okada Yukiko's idol career, she almost rushed out of the railing, fell into another road, and ended in another tragic way. At this moment, watching her say goodbye to the audience at the Budokan with tears of happiness in her eyes is even more special. feeling.

At the same time, she is more happy than anyone else for the life she has now.

Looking back now, meeting and acquainting Okada Yukiko, taking the initiative to say the nosy phrase "relax and move forward" to her is something Iwahashi Shinichi will never regret.There is nothing more important than life.

……

On the stage, Okada Yukiko finally calmed down. Although her eyes were red, she still showed her innocent and pure smile. Of course, no one would think that this smile was not from the heart.

"Thank you everyone!" She bowed again, straightened up, and said, "Next, please let me continue singing to the end with the heart of thanking everyone."

"Please continue to stay with me and enjoy this show until the end. Is that okay?"

In response, cheers for Okada Yukiko resounded in the Budokan venue.Tonight, she is the absolute protagonist.

Okada Yukiko turned her head and gestured to the long-awaited live accompaniment band, telling them that they could continue.Immediately, the music started, and the next song was her famous work "-Dreaming Girl-".

At the age of 17, Okada Yukiko sang this lovely and sweet song, and entered the public's sight from her "border of love".Today, just like Kaguya Hime who was born in a bamboo tube is going to return to the moon palace after all, 20-year-old Yukiko Okada, who is not inferior to the cuteness and sweetness at that time, sings this song and returns to her "land of love" ".

There is no feast that lasts forever, even if you feel sad, the concert has finally come to an end.

After singing the last song, Yukiko Okada finally bowed deeply to the audience.At the side of the stage, her family was already waiting to greet her.

Okada Yukiko put down the microphone, finally waved to the audience, and then ran to her family.
