Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 552
Nine p.m.

After a week of postponement, Fuji TV's September [-] drama "Falling in Love with Your Eyes" finally aired its first episode.

The ad is over, let's get to the point.

At the beginning of the TV series, three high school friends met by chance in the carriage back to Tokyo.

Miho Nakayama plays a fashionable college student named "Takagi Hitomi" in the play. One of her two friends, "Kobayashi Teruyo", an old-fashioned girl who works as a bank clerk, is played by actress Tomoko Fujita.

Fujita-san was born as a stage actor, and he is not the same as the actors who debuted as idols.However, she has a cheerful personality and is very popular on the shooting scene.

Then, another friend of Takagi Hitomi, the freelancer "Mochizuki Tomoko"...

"No matter how you look at it, I'm cuter than Miho-chan."

Momoko Kikuchi, who played the role of "Machiko Mochizuki", couldn't help muttering to herself when she saw herself in the TV series who was more fashionable and glamorous than Miho Nakayama.

Anyway, it's in my apartment, so it doesn't matter what you say.

However, the person who is more popular and popular with the audience is Zhongshan Miho.

Unlike Momoko Kikuchi who debuted as an idol singer and started acting after her peak period, Miho Nakayama debuted as an actor, and her career has always been focused on acting, and singing is a supplement.

Miho Nakayama has attracted much attention since her debut. Two years ago, she starred in the TV series "Mom Is an Idol" which caused a sensation.

At that time, the popular idol named "Zhongshan Miho" she played in the TV series was married to her former teacher. While concealing the fact that she was married and continuing to work, she had three children with the teacher who were older than herself. A series of stories about getting along with her stepson, her stepdaughter who is about the same age as her, and another stepson who is her loyal fan.

After the TV series was broadcast, it set an average high ratings of 22.2 and became Miho Nakayama's representative work.

Since this year, Zhongshan Miho has become a top idol, her career as an actor has been smooth sailing, and her supplementary career as a singer is also impressive.

It was also this year that Kikuchi Momoko's career began to slide downhill and she had to seek transformation.

This is how the arts world is constantly changing.This is especially true for idols, who can be considered lucky if their peak period lasts for two or three years.

Be the protagonist when you are popular, and play supporting roles for new protagonists when you slide downhill.You must have this awareness from the moment you enter the industry, no matter whether it is difficult or easy to accept.

Two years later, since the success of "Mom Is an Idol", Miho Nakayama's career as an actor has continued to improve, becoming the youngest star of Yuejiu, while Momoko Kikuchi has played the third role in the TV series.

In the TV series, Hitomi Takagi, a stylish college student played by Miho Nakayama, fell in love with a beautiful apartment in Daikanyama, but was unable to afford the high rent alone, so he invited his friend Machiko Mochizuki to share the apartment.

It happened that the bank dormitory where another friend Xiao Linzhao lived caught fire and had nowhere to go, so the three of them started a shared life.

A 20-year-old college student wants to live in a high-end area like Daikanyama no matter what. This is something that only happens in this era.

Such a beginning is already proclaiming to the audience that this is an urban drama in the era of bubbles.

On the day of the move, they knocked on the neighbor's door to give a moving gift. As soon as the door opened, the neighbors who came out were two male college students who shared the rent.

One of them is Suzuki Moto, an impetuous young man who got Takagi Hitomi into trouble twice in one day, and the other was introduced to her by Takagi Hitomi's friend, but they broke up when they kissed her when they first met and were severely rejected. Mensao Youth Gong Xia Gengping.

The enemy's road is narrow, and when you see it, you will get angry.

Although Takagi Hitomi is a bit vain, likes handsome guys, and loves to go out for friendship, but she is a good girl who pays attention to order.

The person who can really do it in one step as long as she meets her eyes is the more fashionable and glamorous person than her, Mochizuki Machiko played by Kikuchi Momoko.

The character played by Kikuchi Momoko in the TV series has had relationships with several boys in her class in high school, and she has dated countless people since then. As long as she catches the eye, it doesn’t matter if she hits a home run that day. order of girls.

Takagi Hitomi has no nose for these two annoying enemies, but Mochizuki Machiko has already become interested in these two handsome neighbors, and wants to get to know them better.

This role is not only contrary to Kikuchi Momoko's own personality, but also completely contrary to the pure line she has been walking.Therefore, Kikuchi Momoko was a little embarrassed to see herself playing such a role on TV.

But this trace of shyness disappeared in a flash, and she still focused on watching her performance on TV.

Not because of narcissism, but to observe my acting skills, find out the shortcomings and improve them.

The role of Mochizuki Machiko is of great significance to Kikuchi Momoko.

Since her debut, she has followed the pure route.When being an idol singer, "Qingchun" can be the girl of her dreams or the girl next door.

However, if you want to switch the runway to become an actor, the original pure image is worthless.

Choosing to play such a role that is completely opposite to her real self, whether it is her or the office, is trying to break her pure image in the hearts of the public.

Competition in the entertainment industry is fierce, and once the career goes downhill, it is necessary to give a supporting role to the new protagonist.However, to enter this line of work, one must not only have the awareness to be a supporting role when going downhill, but also have the ambition to wait for an opportunity to return to the top.

Kikuchi Momoko is not reconciled to being like so many meteor-like idols in the past ten years, who fell for a moment after lighting up. Therefore, since the sales of records began to decline, she has been constantly seeking new breakthroughs.

Now, in order to become an actor to broaden the way of acting, it is so true to voluntarily throw away the signboard of the pure school.And earlier, Kikuchi Momoko also made a bold attempt in music - forming a band.

Feeling that the peak period has passed, before going downhill, the company discussed with Kikuchi Momoko and invited professional musicians to form a rock band named "ラ·ムー" (La·Mu-), announcing the transformation.

Coincidentally, TV Asahi's program called "Band Paradise" is currently on the air, and the public's attention to bands is unprecedented. Not only that, the program has delivered various styles of bands, which has increased the public's acceptance of band types.

With the enthusiasm brought by TV programs, excellent musicians have been invited, and the quality of the songs provided is also quite high. The company is full of confidence in this transformation——

In any case, when a popular idol turns into the lead singer of a band, he has enough topicality and a foundation of previous popularity.

As a result, this transition was a complete failure. Not only was the sales volume poor, Kikuchi Momoko and the musicians didn't get along very well. After each live performance, they received a bunch of bad reviews.

The public didn't buy into the female lead singer of this pure idol turned band.

The plan to transform into a band stopped here. Although they did not directly announce the dissolution, the company did not mention a new single.

So there was the role of "Mochizuki Machiko" this time, in order to broaden the play path and actively break the image of the pure school.

The road to transformation is imperative, and this role is of great significance to Kikuchi Momoko.

"A band with a female lead singer..."

On the TV, the point of view switched to the apartment where the boy lived.Without her camera, Kikuchi Momoko was not very interested in the plot of the TV series, and lost her mind a little.

She remembered that the theme song of the TV series was sung by a band with female lead singers.

The TV series was still in the filming stage, and the record company to which the band belonged even sent staff to distribute the band's single to the main actors of the TV series.

Kikuchi Momoko remembered that after she received the single, she put it away at will.She just had a failed band formation experience, and she is not very interested in the female lead singer's band for the time being.

However, later, during filming, she heard the actor Tomoko Fujita who played Teruyo Kobayashi talk about the producer of this band being the producer of the band Paradise.

Tomoko Fujita is a loyal rock music fan and a loyal audience of the band Heaven.Not only is he familiar with rock bands, but he also knows all kinds of related gossip.

Not only that, Tomoko Fujita also praised the band to her and Miho Nakayama, saying that she listened to the song after she went back, it was a very good song, and the voice of the lead singer was crisp and clear, very refreshing.

"As expected of the band selected by the producer who produced the band Heaven."

Kikuchi Momoko still remembered the words of praise from Tomoko Fujita.As a loyal audience of the band Paradise, she adores the "Yanqiao-kun" who is often cueed by the censors on the show.

Of course, if they were idols like them, they should be called "Iwahashi-san".

There was also Maeda Koyo, a member of the male fighting group, and his male fighting group was also a band.However, it seems that after their band's hot debut, sales and popularity have continued to decline.

Could it be that the audience is just disgusted by the fact that idols get involved in bands?Kikuchi Momoko thought to herself.

However, the single I received, I glanced casually at the time, and the lead singer printed on the cover was so beautiful that even if I was an actor, I would have no problem.

After Tomoko Fujita praised the band, Momoko Kikuchi was also a little curious about the female lead singer's "clean and refreshing" singing voice.

But she didn't look for that single, but thought in her heart a little flatteringly, anyway, she would watch TV dramas at that time—even if she was not at home when it was broadcast, she would record it.

Although Tomoko Fujita praised it so much... At that time, there is still time to listen to it in TV dramas.

On the TV, the plot continued to progress.

Takagi Hitomi explained to his roommates his grievances with the two young people next door, and the two young people next door were fantasizing about being neighbors with cute girls.

Takagi Hitomi hates the two reckless young people, but falls in love with the playboy producer of T-WAVE, the radio station where Machiko Mochizuki works.

When the producer of the radio station drove to the apartment downstairs in the middle of the night in order to send the tape to Mochizuki Machiko, Hitomi Takagi, who had a crush on the producer, volunteered to get it for his friend.

After delivering the tapes, before leaving, Takagi Hitomi offered to shake hands with him.

Sensing her intentions, the producer took the initiative to kiss her, and this scene was watched by the roommate upstairs and the two young people.

At the end of the first episode, the prelude to the ending song sounded.
