Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 61 061
Okada Yukiko watched the young staff member leave.

That person just said to her to relax and move forward... This sentence echoed in Okada Yukiko's mind.

Okada Yukiko has been hoping to become a star since she was a child. Although her family objected to her not doing her job properly, she still proved to her family that she can do both work and study with her excellent academic performance.

Later, he finally got his wish and became an idol. As soon as he debuted, he achieved good results and was placed high hopes by the company.

The year after her debut, Seiko, who was with the company, expressed her desire to get married. In order to top the idol market that SUNMUSIC lost after Seiko's temporary withdrawal, she, who had just emerged, was decided to be Seiko's successor.

Since then, she has obtained resources that are many times more luxurious than when she first debuted. The production team of the album has been replaced by the people who originally followed Miss Shengzi. These resources are the dreams of other idols.

Similarly, each resource is clearly marked with a price, telling her how much return she should bring back.

Since then, what has been lingering in her ears is "Yukiko, come on!", "Yukiko, this level of hard work is far from enough!", "Yukiko, your potential is more than this!", these are for her Cheer up and urge her to go further.

Everyone from the firm and record company, and the most trusted manager, Noburo Mizoguchi, told her that.She also tried her best to become a person worthy of this resource.

In fact, her performance has been very good, and she has been on the rise since her debut. Compared with the idols who debuted in the same period, she is undoubtedly the best. Now that the idol market is gradually saturated, Okada Yukiko is one of the few who succeeded later. .

As an idol, she is already very qualified, but she is burdened with the heavy responsibility of "Successor of Seiko Matsuda".This title was not randomly chosen by the outside media for her, but the target positioning of her by the firm and the record company.

In order to catch up in the footsteps of Miss Shengzi, she ran forward desperately, but Yuxizi was Yuxizi, and she could not become a holy child.

The new single just released at the beginning of this year, invited the great composer Mr. Ryuichi Sakamoto, and the lyrics were written by the predecessor of the same firm, Ms. Seiko. The luxurious configuration and the popularity of the rising period finally let her win The first weekly championship since debut.

Okada Yukiko hoped to hear a compliment and get a compliment, but someone from the office said to her, "Yukiko, although I won the championship of the week, it's not enough, please work harder."

Work harder...

Before entering this line, the profession of idol, in Yukiko Okada's eyes, was a profession that brought people joy and hope, a shining star sand in a glass bottle.

However, now she has deeply felt the heavy shackles that the profession of idol has carried since the day it was born.The flickering light seen in the sight of outsiders actually came from the iron shackles worn on the body.

Being packaged by adults for a lot of money, singing the songs they arranged, saying what they told them, giving up a part of themselves, and then the fans cheered on this incomplete self-what is all this in front of me?

When she was still in her hometown, Yukiko Okada was at school, and her classmates liked her smile.So, when she decided to become an idol, she also decided to use her smile to heal the public.

As a result, now, even laughing is very reluctant.Even when she stood on the stage and listened to the audience shouting "Come on!", she felt a heavy burden.

The healing smile that I am most confident in has also been adulterated... Is this self as an idol still qualified to stand on the stage?Recently, Okada Yukiko has been plagued by such troubles.

Amidst such a heavy burden, the only thing that made Yukiko Okada feel a little warm was the actor Toru Minegishi who partnered in "Forbidden Maria" last year.

When filming together, Toru Minegishi took good care of her.He is 24 years older than Okada Yukiko, almost the age to be her father. Because of this, from the very beginning, she respected Toru Minegishi very much and had no defenses.

Okada Yukiko, who has no acting experience, was afraid of causing trouble on the set, but Toru Minegishi was always patient, taught her to act, helped her analyze the script, and constantly encouraged her.

"Rapid progress, Yukiko!"

"Today's performance is much better than yesterday, Yukiko!"

Toru Minegishi's encouragement allowed Yukiko Okada to regain the confidence she had once lost. The graceful demeanor and concern for her shown by the older actor made her feel a little girlish before she knew it. .

Toru Minegishi knew exactly what was on her mind, but he neither accepted nor refused, hanging her in the air.Not only that, but Yukiko Okada only learned this year that Toru Minegishi, who has been divorced, is now living with another woman.

Then what are you?third party?

Okada Yukiko wanted to leave, but Toru Minegishi showed her unprecedented kindness.And when she thought she had hope and mentioned that Toru Minegishi was not single now, he suddenly became a thousand miles away, which made her overwhelmed and kept apologizing to him.

Okada Yukiko, who has never been in love, doesn't know what Toru Minegishi thinks or how to deal with it.

If it is discovered that Toru Minegishi has a crush on Toru Minegishi, and that his idol likes a man who is 24 years older than him and is living with other women, it will probably become a big scandal of the year.

Okada Yukiko was tight-lipped and did not dare to mention her thoughts to anyone.

The new single won the weekly crown, which made the office see the hope of continuing to promote her, so the expectations for her were even higher. attitude of torture.

The chords are getting tighter and tighter, almost to the point of breaking...

I came to participate in the recording of "Best of the Night Recording Studio" today, but it was difficult to get into the state. Before the official recording started, I could only escape to the studio to reflect and adjust myself.

"Please relax and move on."

That young staff member didn't cheer her on... did he see her anxiety?

Okada Yukiko watched his back as he left, and the mask that was hastily put on just now fell off at some point, revealing an expression that was about to cry.

"Thank you." She said to the back.

The recording of this day was finally completed smoothly, whether it was "Best of the Night Recording Studio" on one side or "We Are Funny" on the other side.

They belong to different camps and met in a hurry. Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know the distress in Okada Yukiko's heart. He is also carrying a lot of pressure on his shoulders. .

But Okada Yukiko kept the kindness he accidentally released in his heart.

Two days later, Okada Yukiko went to TBS TV to participate in the recording of the program.When she entered the TV station building and waited for the elevator, she stared blankly at the closed gate of the elevator.

I have lost interest in anything recently, but I still remember that I have to do my job well on time, and as long as I get caught on camera, I have to smile—because I am an idol.

"Ding"

The elevator descended and the gate slowly opened.

Okada Yukiko, who didn't have time to look back, looked like she was staring straight at the person coming out of the elevator.However, before she looked away, she was ashamed and saw that person among the people walking out of the elevator.

The staff member who said to her, "Please relax and move on".

　At this time in the book, it was less than half a month before Okada Yukiko committed suicide.
