Chapter 273 The Light of Firefly

Although I thought that NHK would talk to him, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, and I couldn't even wait for the red and white to end.

"Akiyama-san, why is the content of the interview session different from the rehearsal?"

The one who came to him was none other than Takeshi Matsuo who invited him at first.

"I'm sorry Matsuo-san, I'm the one who caused you trouble." It was true that I was a little willful and didn't follow the content of the rehearsal.

"Akiyama-san, the Red and White Song Battle has been held for so many years, every line, every movement is accurate to the second.

Any unauthorized changes are absolutely not allowed, not to mention such unfavorable rumors..."

"Matsuo-san, my love affair can't be considered a scandal anyway, right?"

Before he could finish speaking, Kazuki Akiyama interrupted him directly.

Hearing what he said became more and more outrageous, Kazuki Akiyama was also a little annoyed.The stubbornness of the Japanese is really a headache.

Conformity is a word made for them.

Matsuo Takeshi, who knew he had made a slip of the tongue, moved his lips unnaturally.

"In short, please remember that Akiyama-san, NHK does not welcome people who do not follow the rules."

After speaking, he turned and left here angrily.

Akiyama Kazuki looked at his leaving back and chuckled lightly.Once on a stage like Hongbai is enough.

When he returned to the edge of the stage, he didn't look abnormal.

"Are you okay?" Fukuyama Masaharu came over quietly. He just saw a high-level NHK executive with a bad face, and left in a hurry from the place where Kazuki Akiyama came.

"It's okay." Kazuki Akiyama patted him on the shoulder lightly, and then nodded to Takuya Kimura and Masahiro Nakai who looked at him with the same concern, indicating that there is no problem.

"Although you look gentle, you are also very stubborn sometimes."

Fukuyama Masaharu saw that he didn't seem to be fake, so he joked a little relaxedly.

Akiyama Kazuki smiled and did not speak, and continued to watch the performance on the stage.

People, there are always impulsive moments.Especially at this age, wouldn't it be too boring not to do a few things that make your heart beat?
After the interruption just now, the second half of red and white also came to an end.

Saburo Kitajima, who is the finale singer, has already stepped onto the stage, and all the participating artists are also walking on the stage one after another.

Red and white feature, when the finale group performs, all the singers who have appeared before will stand on both sides of the flower path on the stage to support them.

From the early days of the show, the finale singers of each year have basically been monopolized by enka singers.

This year is no exception. For Japan, which values ​​tradition, enka singers are naturally higher than pop singers in terms of status.

When the cheerful "Sacrifice" was about to come to an end, paper snowflakes fluttered down from the ceiling of the hall.

Everyone also slowly moved closer to the center of the stage. Everyone's bodies were covered with white paper flowers, and Kazuki Akiyama also slowly moved to the center with the crowd.

At the end of the song, everyone cheered in unison, celebrating the harvest of the year and the arrival of the new year.

At this time, the judges in the audience also stepped onto the stage and began to count the votes of the red and white groups of the audience.

This year's voting method is a round fan, with the heads of the hosts of the red and white groups printed on both sides.

To vote for which group, just raise the corresponding face to face the stage.

The counting method is that the observers of the Wild Bird Society hold up the binoculars and count.

Tsk~, if you want to talk about the whole job, the means of small life are also rich and colorful.

As for the result, there is no doubt that the white team won. Since the red and white games were held, the number of white team wins is much higher than that of the red team.

In the end, the director of NHK Broadcasting personally sent a banner to the host of the white group, Sakai Masaki, declaring the victory of the white group.

Then there is the familiar "Unforgettable Tonight"..., bah, the chorus of "Firefly Light".

After the death of Ichiro Fujiyama, Yasushi Miyagawa will be the conducting musician this year.

Mixed in the crowd, Kazuki Akiyama also sang this song that almost all Japanese can sing.

When the time came to midnight, a large number of colored paper flowers spewed out from the ceiling of the hall again, announcing the end of 93 and the coming of 94.

"Arigado~" The soft voice made Kazuki Akiyama pause slightly as he was about to step back from the stage.

He turned his gaze, and Yoko Nagayama, who was wearing a kimono, was walking slowly towards the audience.

He sighed secretly, he had stood beside her for so long, yet he didn't notice her.

Before he knew it, he seemed to have hurt her again.

I'm sorry Yoko, Kazuki Akiyama looked at her back and said silently in his heart.

Getting off the red and white stage also means that all the work of Kazuki Akiyama in 93 has been completed.

The rest of the time is his own private time. He, Masaharu Fukuyama, SMAP, and Genhui Maeda are going to find a place together for a second time.

Although there is an annual budget of 3 million yen for red and white, there is no budget for providing meals for singers after the show.

Regarding this, Kazuki Akiyama could only complain secretly, being petty.What should be paid attention to is not paid attention to, and what should not be paid attention to is so meticulous that it is outrageous.

A group of them came out of the NHK performance hall in a lively manner, and when they were about to discuss whether to drive or take a taxi, all the flashing lights were already on.

"Akiyama-san! Akiyama-san! Can you talk about the relationship you just announced on stage?"

"Excuse me, is your girlfriend Ms. Sakai from ZARD?"

When a group of reporters saw them coming out, they rushed here in an instant, shouting as they ran.

WTF?Are these reporters crazy?For the Chinese New Year, Kazuki Akiyama was stunned by their professionalism.

"Let's go!" Masaharu Fukuyama pushed Kazuki Akiyama past him, and he and the six members of SMAP stood in front of the reporter.

Akiyama Kazuki didn't care about being polite to them, and quickly retreated from the side, just after the corner, he happened to meet Yoshitaka Watanabe who came to pick him up.

The two ran to the place where they parked together, "Quick! Quick!" Kazuki Akiyama kept patting the seat of Yoshitaka Watanabe in front of him as soon as he got in the car.

"Buzz!" The sound of the engine was instantly prolonged, and they disappeared at the corner of the street in a blink of an eye.

After looking back and making sure no one was following the car, Kazuki Akiyama leaned back on the chair as if relaxing, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Aren't these guys resting?" Kazuki Akiyama was really surprised by their energy.

"The more this is the time, the more active they are. Many people are counting on digging up some great material in the past few days, and then making a lot of money."

As an experienced agent, Yoshitaka Watanabe is also familiar with the activities of these paparazzi.

At the end of the year, everyone is celebrating the New Year, and artists rarely take vacations, and they will have a period of private life of their own.

So the past few days have become a period of high incidence of paparazzi activities.

It's a bit like not opening for a year, but opening for three years.

"What are Akiyama-san's plans for the future?" Now that the paparazzi is watching him, he will have to reconsider the next itinerary.

"Go home, I'll be back tonight." He was talking about going back to his hometown in Tochigi, and he originally planned to go back tomorrow morning.

But according to the current situation, it is estimated that before he goes out tomorrow, a large number of reporters will be gathered downstairs.

So there was no time to think about it, so I had to leave tonight.
