Flying over the bubble era

482 Chapter 482. Inexhaustible
In the middle of December, the weather is getting colder and colder.

The light rain that started in the afternoon turned into snow particles in the evening.After work, I went to dinner with the singers and program producers who participated in the same recording, and when I got home, it was already past nine o'clock.

However, at the end of the busy year, it is too early to come back this time.

When I come back from the outside in winter, I really want to take a hot bath.

Akina Nakamori put away the water, and before taking a bath, it was customary to turn on the waterproof radio in the bathroom.She likes to listen to the radio while taking a shower. This habit of middle-aged and elderly people has been going on for many years.

However, since he recovered from the cold, he has been very busy these days, and sometimes he came back too late and had to wash his hands hastily.Listening to the radio while soaking in the bath today is the long-lost rest.

On the radio, the host's speaking speed and tone are just right.Listening to high-level radio hosts chatting is also a kind of enjoyment for those who are physically and mentally exhausted after a day of work.

Akina Nakamori emptied his mind, listening to the radio, thinking about the end of the year.

Another week is Christmas, and after Christmas comes New Year's Eve.

I heard from Daben's agent that due to the self-sufficiency order, all activities such as Christmas lighting ceremonies and store promotions have been cancelled. This year's Christmas Eve is expected to be much deserted.

Not only folk, but also TV stations have reduced the scale of the stage.

The activities on the table have been reduced, and the gatherings of various manufacturers and industry partners at the end of the year have also subsided a little.As a popular star, Nakamori Akina must go to several such gatherings with her manager at the end of the year, thank them for their care over the past year.

December is a month of conclusions...

A year is about to pass, and during this year, many, many things have happened.Not only that, but during this year, I did many things that my former self would not do.

This year's self, compared with before, seems to be different.Akina Nakamori couldn't help laughing when such a strange thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

However, I can't tell whether I am laughing at myself thinking too much, or laughing at something else.

On the radio station, the chat of the host came to an end, and it entered the link of playing songs.Nakamori Akina was a little surprised, and felt that the host's speaking time was a bit short.

Although I didn't listen carefully to the host's words, I felt that it was true.

And after a moment of surprise, the prelude to the song sounded.

"Since graduation, it has been the third spring"

When the female singer sang the first line, Akina Nakamori let out a "huh".Is this voice so familiar?It seems to be... She listened carefully to a few more words, and this sense of familiarity became even stronger.

It's Yoshida-san from DREAMS COME TRUE, right?
With such an impression in her heart, Akina Nakamori had new doubts: she had never heard this song before.

Shinichi Iwahashi will send her the albums released since the debut of DREAMS COME TRUE, and then attach a "tasting impression".Thus, she has heard every song the band has ever released.

But now, the song is so strange.

Has DREAMS COME TRUE released a new song?Akina Nakamori continued to guess.However, if a new song is released, Shinichi-kun will definitely send it to her, but she hasn't received it yet.

Akina Nakamori thought she would not mistake the singer's voice.

Originally, I am a singer myself, and I am far better at identifying the voices of singers I have heard than ordinary listeners.Furthermore, Yoshida Miwa's singing skills are amazing. Ordinary listeners may not have that kind of profound experience, but professional singers will know her "scary" as soon as they hear it.

On the radio, the song is still going on.

After confirming that it was Miwa Yoshida, Akina Nakamori couldn't help but concentrate.

Although there were no samples or cards for tasting impressions, she thought it was the new song of DREAMS COME TRUE, as if she was used to it, and listened to it seriously.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear Iwahashi Shinichi's harmony in the chorus part.

Yoshida-san's singing skills are amazing, but her two teammates' singing skills are very average.

However, as the song progressed, Akina Nakamori also understood why the radio host's speaking time was shorter just now, because he had to allow time for the song to be played.

This song is really long.

However, it does not make people feel impatient.

On the contrary, there is also a strange magic power-the magic power of wanting to listen to it, and the magic power of thinking that it can grow longer, as in the "no matter how many years have passed" sung in the corresponding lyrics.

Is this also Yoshida-san's lyrics?Akina Nakamori remembered the song information attached to the band's record that she had seen earlier.

She likes this song very much.

At the end of the song, Yoshida-san's improvisation.

This improvisation made it even more certain that this is the song of DREAMS COME TRUE.Because, unless it is a monster like Yoshida-san, ordinary singers can't support it.

"Whoo~"

After listening to this long improvisation, the song ended and commercials began.Akina Nakamori let out a breath.

Then, I felt a little dizzy.

Concentrate on listening to music, unknowingly the time in the bath is a bit too much...

Nakamori Akina put away her thoughts about the song, in short, let's talk after coming out of the bathroom.

……

After resting for a while, the symptoms of dizziness eased, and Akina Nakamori sat down at the desk.

There is a peacock that has already been formed on the table, and the new origami is almost finished.Compared with the previous origami giraffe, this peacock is more troublesome.

Akina Nakamori practiced in his free time and broke a lot of paper before he learned this new trick.

The time schedule at the end of the year is too tight, and there are not many opportunities to sit at the desk and carve a little bit like this. Learning to fold a peacock is almost in a moving car or in the waiting room backstage before the show starts.

Being so focused is a solid example of what Daben’s broker said, “Where you go, you can get discounts wherever you go”.Daben was surprised by this, and never thought that Akina Nakamori's origami hobby could last for so long.

Akina Nakamori picked up the unfinished origami peacock, didn't look through the origami book, but continued to complete the remaining steps by relying on memory and hand feeling.

Once the peacock is folded, you can write a reply letter to Yanqiao Shenyi with a pen, and launch a new teaching challenge-folding a peacock.

but……

Akina Nakamori finished the final steps, and remembered the new song he had just heard.

She put the folded peacock on the table and opened the drawer to get the letter paper.

In addition to the origami peacock on the desk, there is also the energetic and beautiful kitten that I exchanged from Iwahashi Shinichi when I was in Karuizawa, and the ordinary giraffe I taught him to fold.

On his birthday, the kitten that Iwahashi Shinichi gave him was still on the dressing table.

Akina Nakamori looked at Origami and suddenly had an idea.

On Shinichi-kun's side, there is also an ugly kitten and two beautiful giraffes.

In the future, if it continues like this.

She has been teaching Iwahashi Shinichi to origami, and if the two of them exchange, then, on her side, she will receive a lot of ordinary origami for beginners, while Iwahashi Shinichi will receive beautiful origami made by experienced hands.

And among her ordinary origami, there is a beautiful kitten.Conversely, in Iwahashi Shinichi's place, among the beautiful origami, there will be an ugly kitten.

Both beautiful kittens and ugly kittens are so special.

Thinking of this, Akina Nakamori suddenly felt a kind of expectation for the "future".

Looking forward to the day when all kinds of origami are on the table.

Before that, Akina Nakamori closed the drawer and looked at the clock on the table, it was not too late.

Akina Nakamori gave up writing the letter and got up to get the phone.Before dialing, after thinking about it, I was still worried about waking up those who had already fallen asleep, so instead of calling directly, I paged Yanqiao Shinichi.

Compared with before, she is more direct.When I picked up the receiver and dialed the number, I became more proficient and decisive.

After a while, the call came back.

"Good evening, Akina-san."

"good evening."

Yanqiao Shinichi's voice on the phone sounded lazy, Nakamori Akina asked him, "Is Shinichi-kun asleep already?"

……

At the end of the year, even if there is a self-restraint order, it cannot stop various gatherings in the industry.If you don't go to the hotel, there are also various private mansions. If you think about it, the self-restraint order will immediately become a dead letter.

ZARD is about to debut in January, and the record company played the first card. It is just waiting for the follow-up stage of contacts and relationships. Any chance of getting close cannot be missed.

Whether it is him or Wanyumi Watanabe, they each bring their own emotional drivers and non-emotional drivers to participate in one entertainment after another.

Most of the time, two people act alone, and two people go together on grand occasions.When it is inconvenient for Mayumi Watanabe to attend alone, but it is okay for him to accompany him, he will also accompany him.

In addition to the parties to attend, there are also parties hosted in the name of record companies.

At the end of the year, companies with cooperative relations are invited to banquets, and people from TV stations with cooperative relations are also invited to "thank you for your care over the past year."

The industry counts on TV stations for food. As long as there is a cooperative relationship, they will climb up the pole to manage it at the end of the year.Have a dinner first, and after the meal, give the prepared New Year's gift. After a set of procedures, there must be no missing link.

At the end of this year, it is scheduled to broadcast the advertisement of DREAMS COME TRUE on TBS TV station after the next year. We must take this opportunity to invite people from TBS TV station to participate in the party.

Because the TV station controls the entertainment industry, in order to win the opportunity, it has to be so.

Operating a record company and an office, the annual hospitality expenses add up to a huge amount.

As for Wanyumi Watanabe, because the firm also has an actor business, in addition to the TV station, they also have to have dinner with people from the film company to build a good relationship.

Watanabe Wanyumi of the film company brought the manager of the firm to participate. A female boss like her has to deal with men in black behind the scenes, and it is absolutely impossible for her to enter the battle alone like Shinichi Iwahashi.

The cooperation with the film company is a matter of the firm, and Shinichi Iwahashi does not get involved in her firm's affairs in principle, so he will not go with her.

But for entertainment related to the TV station, the two must attend at the same time.

He and Wanyumi Watanabe, who deal with the TV station together, are quite relaxed.

The party tonight is a little bit special.

This is a rather special gathering with a hint of "internal entertainment". The organizer is Zhutian Printing Company, a partner of the record company, and all the people present are from the enterprises that Zhutian Printing Company participated in the investment.

Naturally, Shinichi Iwahashi and Wanyumi Watanabe attended this occasion.

Zhutian Printing Co., Ltd. has a wide range of activities. People from all walks of life have such gatherings.

Of course, for Iwahashi Shinichi, what deserves more attention is the people from the Japanese animation company who attended the party.

The previous decision to approach and cooperate with Zhutian Printing Company was due to their inextricable relationship with the animation industry behind them.

After the establishment of the company, I didn't usually have the opportunity to contact Japanese animation companies, but at the party at the end of this year, I finally met the principals of Japanese animation companies for the first time.

Yanqiao Shenyi didn't miss the opportunity, and took the initiative to exchange business cards with the other party, find topics, and socialize all night long.By the time we say goodbye, we have already made an agreement with the person opposite, and we will meet and visit again when we have the opportunity.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Wanyumi came together, discussed it, and prepared to leave.

Yanqiao Shinichi was promoted to the president of the record company. After having a driver with feelings, he bid farewell to the daily life of chasing the domineering president's car.At this moment, after saying goodbye, the two left in their own cars.

Before leaving, at the exit, the cadre of Zhutian Printing Company who was in charge of seeing off the guests gave the prepared gifts to the two of them respectively.

The end of the year is like this, there are ins and outs.

After leaving the meeting place, Yanqiao Shinichi habitually checked the pager and saw that there was a message.It is Akina Nakamori's number.

Sitting in the car, he was not in a hurry to return, so he called back first.

The phone was answered quickly enough.

……

"Good evening, Akina-san," he said.

"Good evening." Nakamori Akina replied, asking him, "Is Shinichi-kun already asleep?"

"No, I have to prepare to go home." Yanqiao Shinichi told her.

On the other end of the phone, Akina Nakamori let out an "ah", "I thought it woke you up from the sound."

Yanqiao Shen thought for a while, and guessed that it was probably because he drank a lot of wine. He sounded lazy and explained: "Tonight, I participated in the reception held by the investor, and I just finished and prepared to go back."

"I see." Akina Nakamori seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Shinichi Iwahashi looked for a topic, "At the end of the year, Akina-san will also attend a lot of receptions, right?"

"Fortunately... Compared with Shen Yi-kun, it should be much less." She just laughed, "It seems to be talking nonsense."

Yanqiao Shinichi also laughed, "If you don't tell Akina-san, I don't know."

"By the way," he changed the subject, "Is there something wrong with Ming Cai-san?"

"There's something I want to talk to Shinichi-kun."

Nakamori Akina finally did not forget her original intention of calling.

"What?" Yanqiao Shinichi was quite interested.

"When I was listening to the radio today, I heard a song." Akina Nakamori's words started, and Shinichi Iwahashi guessed what she was going to say.

"And then?" He pretended not to know, and asked her to continue.
