Speaking of "MUSIC STATION", the first person who comes to mind is the host Tamoli.

Meticulously combed back hair, black sunglasses, expressionless face, and the corners of the mouth slightly turned down, this is the first picture that appeared in my mind.

Although Tamori was born as a comedian, he graduated from Waseda University and has worked as a manager, cleaner, salesman and other jobs, and has a very rich life experience.

Kazuki Akiyama and Takumi Ishida drove to the headquarters of BEING in Minato-ku on Friday afternoon. The broker arranged by BEING this time was Takeru Sato, who took Kazuki Akiyama last time.

"Sato-san, I'm going to trouble you again this time." Kazuki Akiyama greeted politely.

"You don't have to be polite, Akiyama-kun. It's my honor to watch Akiyama-kun go higher and higher." Manager Sato Takeru also felt a little emotional. When he was brought on the show for the first time, he was still an unknown newcomer.

Now that he can stand on a stage like MUSIC STATION, watching his growth with his own eyes has made him feel closer to Kazuki Akiyama.

"Ishida-kun, you are not far from being a qualified agent, keep going." Sato Takeru greeted Ishida Takumi again, and was equally impressed with this young man, who is very talented in this industry.

"Thank you for your care." Ishida Takumi bowed and thanked.

As a live program, it is normal to have several rehearsals before the official broadcast.Therefore, it is necessary to go to the TV station for rehearsal work in advance.

TV Asahi is very close to BEING's headquarters, only a few minutes away, but considering that Kazuki Akiyama is quite famous now, he finally chose to drive there.

At this time, the relationship between BEING and TV Asahi seemed to be pretty good, and the reception staff at the door greeted Sato Takeru very familiarly.No wonder Taiko Nagato is so confident that the program team will invite Kazuki Akiyama.

Entering the backstage, like last time, go to worship the mountain first as usual.The most senior in the program group is undoubtedly Tamoli.

As the oldest person in the program group, Tamoli's lounge is at the innermost.Knocked on the door.There was a "come in" voice from inside.

Kazuki Akiyama pushed the door and entered, the first thing that caught his eye was Tamoli's iconic sunglasses, black suit, holding something like a notebook in his hand, and looking down, his expression looked a little serious, just like in the extreme movie Chairman of the Council.

Walking up to Kazuki Akiyama, he bowed and handed over his latest single with both hands, "Tamori-san, I am newcomer Kazuki Akiyama, this is my latest single, please accept it."

"Oh~ hello." Tamori looked up at Kazuki Akiyama, "You are so young, let's put it down first, and work hard after the performance."

Although he looked a little serious, his voice was very gentle. It can be seen from this that he is a very easy-going middle-aged man, and he did not show arrogance or rudeness because of his qualifications or status.

"Hay" Kazuki Akiyama nodded and put down his things lightly, turned around and pushed out of the room without disturbing him.

As for seizing the opportunity to get close by licking his face, he would never do such a stupid thing.

Exiting the room and standing in the corridor, Kazuki Akiyama was going to visit other guests who participated in the show today.

Except that he is a rookie who just debuted today, the other guests are all older than him, and his lounge is at the end of the corridor.

Even the SMAP group whose members are younger than him debuted earlier than him. According to seniority, he is also a proper junior.

SMAP also released their latest single "Laughing Vitality" in November, and almost every issue of "Music Station" will have Johnny's JRs appear.

So this issue logically arranged for the SMAP group to be the guest.

In addition to the SMAP group, today's guests are Keizo Nakanishi, Junichi Inagaki, and Yumi Matsutoya.

Yumi Matsutoya is also an RB diva-level singer who is as famous as Miyuki Nakajima, not to mention sales of millions of singles and albums, and later won the Purple Ribbon Award.

This is awarded by the RB government lock to those who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of academics, arts, and sports.

So far, there are only a dozen people in the music industry who have won the medal, and Yumi Matsutoya is one of only four female artists who have won the medal.

This old lady is also famous for her poisonous tongue, even a newcomer like Kazuki Akiyama who has just entered the industry has long heard of it.

For example, the original words of a certain scumbag man who commented were "the brains are coming out of the ears, and it can be seen that he can't make a name for himself in the entertainment industry." Kazuki Akiyama can only say one thing about this, it is true. ．
For this reason, when Akiyama Kazuki came to visit, I was still very nervous, for fear that if I was not careful, I would annoy this eldest sister and die directly from unknown AOE damage. (Just kidding..)
Facts and imaginations are just the opposite. When he came to the door, Yumi Matsutoya encouraged him a lot. It seems that the rumors cannot be believed.

When he was about to leave, Matsutoya Yumi suddenly said, "It's a pity that Akiyama-kun's music style is too mixed, and the next album may become a pot of mishmash."

Well, Matsutoya Yumi is still the same Matsutoya Yumi.

When he honestly exited the room and went to visit Inagaki Junichi, Akiyama Kazuki was still a little embarrassed, after all, he had just pulled him down from the second place on the list.

However, Junichi Inagaki showed great generosity, not only did not mind, but also took Kazuki Akiyama to discuss the harvest of writing lyrics and composing. He is also a creative musician, and he also agrees with Kazuki Akiyama's talent.

Like his voice, Inagaki Junichi looks gentle and elegant, and Kazuki Akiyama once again saw the tolerance of these big singers to the younger generation, not all of them are as hard to resist as Akiko Wada.

Finally, I came to the door of SMAP's lounge, and heard a faint conversation inside before I entered the door.

At this time, the oldest JRs in the group, Hiromasa Nakai and Takuya Kimura, were only 20 years old, and Shingo Katori, the youngest, was only 15 years old, which was when they were young and active.

After knocking on the door, it was Captain Hiromasa Nakai who opened the door and entered the lounge. Kazuki Akiyama did not despise the other party because of his young age.

"SMAP-san, hello, I'm Kazuki Akiyama, a newcomer, this is my latest single, please accept it."

"Akiyama-san's single performance is quite good." Nakai Hiromasa praised with a smile.

"I have listened to both singles, and they are very nice. Seeing Akiyama-san's gentle and handsome face, I think it is only natural that I can write such a song." Takuya Kimura also joked with a smile.

Although they made their debut last year, they didn't perform very well in singles. It was only when they performed well in the variety show "Dream MORI MORI" in April this year that they gained popularity and became popular.

Therefore, for Kazuki Akiyama, a newcomer who came from behind, he didn't put on the airs of his predecessors because of his seniority, but he was a little envious of Kazuki Akiyama's musical talent.
