Tokyo Bubble Life

 When the wind is blowing, of course you have to pay attention.

When the scandal outside was spreading so powerfully, Nagayama Naoki and Nakamori Akina naturally hadn't seen each other for several days, but the phone calls in the evening were still indispensable.

The rainy season is still going on, and the light rain that falls from time to time makes the whole city shrouded in a layer of moisture. However, the green plants that are constantly washed with water appear to be greener.

Nagayama Naoki admired the lush cherry blossom trees in the yard, the moss on the rockery rocks, and the combination of various succulents, and took a deep breath of the fresh air filled with moisture.

At this time, the green plants in Kyoto’s courtyard should be even more lush~

 Last night, Naoya Sakata of Honma Architects called and said that the courtyard in Kyoto has been officially completed and can be inspected at any time.

 The courtyard that has been waiting for more than half a year is finally completed. Naoki Nagayama feels the urge to go and see it immediately. However, there are still many things on his hands at the moment. It seems that he can’t leave for a while~

 “Yutarou, Meowataro, continue to look after the house!”

Nagayama Naoki patted the heads of the two furry children, one big and one small. Due to the rainy season, Yotaro went out much less often. Although the space of Yamazakura Garden was not small, he still seemed lackluster.

Meowtaro is no different from usual.

"I'll take you to the courtyard in Kyoto later! There's a lot of space there. You can run wherever you want, Taro!" Nagayama Naoki scratched the dog's chin comfortingly, which made the guy feel much better. .

 When I drove to the studio, it was very popular. The filming of "Love Ends Like the Rain" was completed, and many employees came to the studio to complete paperwork and smaller shooting tasks, while waiting for the next film project.

 Go into the office~

“Otomo-san, why are you the only one?” Naoki Nagayama asked, looking at Yoshimura Otomo who was looking at a contract.

"Shuichi-san, the formal editing work has begun!" Yoshimura Otomo said, "I heard that the editing is very slow. He has arranged for Masataka-kun and... whoever to enter the editing room! He also called two new ones. The juniors and junior girls who came in started to attack together."

“It was always like this in the beginning.” Naoki Nagayama said.

This time, "Love Stops Like the Rain", because there is no intuitive memory of Nagayama Naoki as a guide, it is destined to be very difficult to edit.

However, Naoki Nagayama has no intention of accelerating it. It is impossible for him to participate in the post-production of all Shuyu Pictures' movies in the future. Now is the time to let the people in the film production department have a good experience without Naoki Nagayama's participation. What is the efficiency of film editing?

After chatting for a few more words, Yoshimura Otomo handed over the contract in his hand:

“Naoki-san, the contract with TV Asahi has been initially drawn up. Take a look!”

After Naoki Nagayama took it over, he briefly looked at the main terms, including the production rights and personnel rights of the "Musicstation" program, etc., which are all on Shuyou's side, but did not read other detailed terms.

“Almost, let’s choose a day to sign the contract.” Naoki Nagayama said.

“Then the production of this program can start in June!” Otomo Yoshimura said, “Naoki-san, do you want to always be in charge of the production of the program?”

“Of course I will only look at the first few issues at most. After that, except for the initial topic selection and final review, I will let it go to the staff below.”

Nagayama Naoki doesn’t have that much time to spend on one program, and “Kikujiro’s Summer” is about to be filmed!

“However, program director is a heavy responsibility, and this is a live broadcast program. Shuyu Pictures currently has no one except Naoki-san and Shuichi-san,” Yoshimura Otomo said worriedly.

“Hahaha, silly tape, isn’t there a producer from TV Asahi!” Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.

 “Huh? Didn’t Naoki-san say that he wanted to control the program in his own hands?”

“Then TV Asahi cannot be completely prevented from intervening. Otherwise, how can the TV station rest assured?”

 Nagayama Naoki does not have many restrictions on the specific production team of the program. Anyway, the ownership of power has been stipulated in the contract. He is the one who creates the ideas and controls the direction. The specific production is naturally completed by his subordinates.

“By the way, Otomo-san, let other filming crew members in the company also participate. Maybe some of them prefer the filming of TV shows~”

 Naoki Nagayama rolled up the contract and tapped on the table. Now that the contract was almost finalized, it was time to find one of the core members of "MusicStation", Tamori, who is the host!

 Sometimes, a good host is the guarantee of a program.

“Otomo-san, do you have Tamori-san’s contact information?” Naoki Nagayama turned to Yoshimura Otomo again.

ˆ “.”

Yoshimura Otomo rolled his eyes, "Naoki-san, I really am not Doraemon."

 “嘁” Naoki Nagayama is becoming more and more disappointed with Otomo Yoshimura~

Although he was speechless about Nagayama Naoki's expression, Yoshimura Otomo still gave as much information as possible:

“As for Tamori-san, I remember that the agency was Tanabe Office, a small agency, and Ken Naoko also worked for him. It seems that the new agency headquarters has just been built.”

 “Tanabe Office”

I have never heard of Nagayama Naoki, but the offices of several major firms in the future are still small and medium-sized firms with only Akina, a well-known artist, so there are other small firms that are no exception.

“But regarding this matter, it’s better to discuss it with Tamori-san first, and then talk to the office.” Naoki Nagayama said.

 “Naoki-san’s plan?”

“Let me go to Fuji TV first! The recording location of “It’s Okay to Laugh!” is at Fuji’s studio~”

 　　«It’s okay to laugh! " is a live program that is broadcast every day at noon. Because of this, Tamori cannot even leave Tokyo.

After driving to the parking lot of Fuji TV and getting out of the car, Naoki Nagayama actually felt a little emotional.

  After all, he is currently holding a program plan and contract for another TV station, but he came to Fuji TV to discuss cooperation with TV Asahi.

 Because I have participated in "It's Okay to Laugh!" ", Nagayama Naoki found out where the recording location was, so he walked directly towards the target.

 It’s not noon yet, but preparations for the live broadcast have already begun.

In the small studio, the background wall like a podium still occupies most of the space, and the other half is the auditorium. The audience is already full.

 The person on the stage is still Tamori-san, talking to the director and assistant. The female assistant is still Sanae Miyata.

 I didn’t see today’s guest, but he should be here soon.

When Naoki Nagayama pushed the door open and came in, he was immediately noticed by Tamori. Although he only had vision in one eye, his observation skills were rare.

Tamori, who had interacted with him several times, walked up quickly:

 “Naoki-san! Why are you here? You’re not here to see Sanae-chan, are you?!”

 He started talking as if he was joking, and Sanae Miyata, the female assistant who had been flirted with twice by Naoki Nagayama, also looked over~

“Tamorlisan, stop joking. The show hasn’t started yet?”

"Yes, the guests are a little late." Tamori said, "We are already considering whether to use remote connection."

 “Didn’t you arrive early? Who is so exaggerating?”

Tamori didn't seem to want to say anything bad behind his back. He just said that he was a popular male idol: "Naoki-san, you suddenly came to our live broadcast room, right?"

“Ah, I came here specifically to Tamori-san. I have a cooperation project that I would like to communicate with you~” Naoki Nagayama explained the purpose of his visit, “However, it may take a long time~”

Tamori nodded. Although he was curious, what was more important at the moment was the recording of "It's Okay to Laugh":

“In that case, Naoki-san, let’s talk after the live broadcast~”

“Hi~” Nagayama Naoki also agreed, “It’s just right. I haven’t seen Tamorisan’s program for a long time. I’ll watch it live today!”

 “Hahaha~ It’s great that Naoki-san can support me!”

Tamoli also smiled. He was still very friendly to this guy who had a good rapport with him in the previous shows.

There were quite a few empty seats in the studio, so Nagayama Naoki found an empty seat in the auditorium and sat down, which made the extras next to him a little excited. After all, he is the man who has been making headlines recently!

Nagayama Naoki quietly waited for the show to start. Occasionally chatting with the people next to him, he felt that the time was not difficult.

However, the atmosphere on the stage was a bit tense. He saw that the staff seemed to be a little anxious to pull a telephone line on the table of the main stage and install an old-fashioned telephone.

Tamori also dialed directly from the phone, but after listening for a few seconds, he shook his head towards the director with a solemn expression, as if he couldn't get through or something.

As the live broadcast approached, the conversation became more and more urgent.

“The people at Johnny’s headquarters said they are on the way. But now the car phone can’t connect, I don’t know what’s going on.”

 “What should we do? The live broadcast will be live in about ten minutes!”

“How about I do the live broadcast alone?” Tamori suggested, “As long as the assistant cooperates a little bit, it’s not impossible for the guest to be away.”

“Are you talking about a stand-up comic?” The director shook his head, “It’s too strange for someone to say it all of a sudden! The main purpose of “It’s Okay to Laugh” is to interview guests!”

“How about finding a replacement?” Tamori said again, “There are so many people at Fuji TV, so just borrow one.”

“Those artists also have their own jobs. Those who are not famous are not effective. It is also very troublesome to contact the agency suddenly,” the director said. “The background board is full of his interactive sessions.”

“Just cover it with a curtain.”

As he spoke, Tamoli glanced more and more towards the auditorium. At the same time, he pulled the director and asked him to look towards the auditorium. Isn't there a famous man there who is not burdened by his office? Celebrity? And it’s the hot news during this period!

"So I was actually drunk that day." Nagayama Naoki explained to the guy next to him for the third time, and then turned to the other side, "I didn't come to the show today, but I have something to do with Tamori-san."

At this time, Tamori walked over with the director of the program and found Naoki Nagayama in the crowd:

“Zhi Shusang, we have something to discuss with you.”

　　　　???”

 Ten seconds later, Nagayama Naoki was surprised: "Rescue?"

"Hey, I don't know what happened to the original guest, and I haven't been able to get in touch. The car phone can't get through either." Tamori explained, "If Naoki-san doesn't help, maybe this time "It's Okay to Laugh" will be canceled. Open the sunroof!”

“.Don’t you have any plan for your live show?”

“Because I have never encountered an artist suddenly unable to participate.”

Tamori is also very helpless. Generally speaking, for such live broadcasts, the guests will come early in the morning and wait in advance. By that time, they can do anything. After this time, there will definitely be a plan!

“Naoki-san, we are running out of time, please help us this time!” the director bowed and begged very seriously.

"But...I haven't prepared anything. Not even anything to promote." Nagayama Naoki looked confused. He was thinking of communicating with Tamori about the variety show!

 “Silly tape!” Tamori said, “Just treat it as a normal chat!”

　　　　Okay then~”

Nagayama Naoki sighed. He would like to ask Tamori to host another program later, so it would be okay to give him a favor first. Anyway, I have participated in "It's Okay to Laugh" twice, so I still have experience.

 “Okay! Hurry up then”

The director's eyes lit up, and he originally wanted to put on makeup, but he looked at Naoki Nagayama and said, "Naoki-san is really convenient, you don't even need to put on makeup." Then he turned around and asked the staff to put on other interactive parts of the stage. All covered up.

Nagayama Naoki was listening to Tamori talking about the general process. In short, he adapted to the situation after taking the stage!

Seeing that it was time to start the broadcast, Naoki Nagayama stood at the back of the stage waiting for the host Tamori-san's instructions~

 “It’s been raining these days!”

"yes!"

“When it rains, my underwear won’t dry!”

"yes!"

“If it doesn’t dry, it will be very uncomfortable to wear!”

"yes!"

“So you will say ‘yes’ to anything I say, right?”

"yes!"

“Ah, SO GA SO GA. So today, Sanae Miyata is still my assistant”

The classic Tamori-style joke begins, marking the official start of live broadcast of this episode of "It's Okay to Laugh". However, what surprised many viewers in front of the TV was that the original support slogans and posters on the stage were gone, and the background board was covered by the curtain.

Then I heard Tamori in the center of the stage say: "Today, I bring you a guest who has been very popular recently! Naoki Nagayama!"

 Then I saw Naoki Nagayama, dressed in casual clothes, walking out of the small door.

　　　　???”

Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi at Shuyu Studio looked at the screen with questions on their faces. After learning that Nagayama Naoki was going to invite Tamori, Yoshimura Otomo decided to watch "Smile" hosted by Tamori during lunch. It doesn’t matter." And Yido Shuichi also followed during his lunch break.

“Naoki-san said he was going to participate in Fuji TV’s program today?” Itou Shuichi looked at Yoshimura Otomo.

"No. I'm confused too," Otomo Yoshimura said helplessly. Generally speaking, if Shuyou's artists participate in the announcement, they will negotiate the appearance fee through GG Office.

 “Then why is Naoki-san on TV?”

"how could I know"

In the lounge of the recording studio, Akina Nakamori, who was eating ramen, also saw "It's Okay to Laugh" that was being played. She was also very surprised when she saw Naoki Nagayama exposed on it:

 “Didn’t Naoki-san say that he was going to take the lead in that band in the past few days? How could it be possible?”

In the Fuji TV building, a TV in the lobby is always on all day long and plays Fuji TV's own programs. Nishi Rumi came in with a lunch box from outside and saw the picture on the TV:

 "Naoki-san? He came to Fuji TV? And even appeared on the program "It's Okay to Laugh"?"

"How is this going?!"

At this moment, a taxi suddenly stopped at the door of Fuji TV, and then two figures ran towards the inside of the TV station at high speed. In the lobby, they saw the picture on the TV

 Masaki Matsuzawa looked at the picture on the TV and gasped: "It's too late after all. The program has already started."

The young man with high hair next to him looked at the TV screen angrily: "Naoki Nagayama? Why is it him again!"

This person is surprisingly Kondo Masahiko, "You actually dare to steal the promotion of my new single?"

Matsuzawa Masaki sighed: "Let's think about how to apologize to the program team. And apologize to the agency! Kondo, we missed this time because you had an accident while driving while driving."

 “Humph!” Kondo Masahiko turned away angrily

 "Kondo! Come back to the program team and apologize!" Matsuzawa Masaki's face was serious, "Don't forget Mr. Kitagawa's instructions!"

Ever since Kondo Masahiko was favored by Kitagawa Marie, Johnny Kitagawa originally didn't want to take care of Kondo Masahiko. He still had so many choices, so there was no need to fight with his sister. Besides, Kondo Masahiko was already an adult and was not as young as he was a child. So.

However, seeing Kondo Masahiko start drinking, fighting, and speed racing as he approaches adulthood, it seems that he has become a bit unrestrained. He still warned Kondo Masahiko! If you reflect carefully, you should let him know that disobedient children will be punished!

 Kondo Masahiko's body trembled. Thinking of the "punishment" he had received in the past, he turned around and came back unwillingly.

"Naoki-san!" Tamori stood up and welcomed Naoki Nagayama with a smile on his face, "Welcome to "It's Okay to Laugh Again" again!"

“I’m so sorry, I came here with empty hands this time.” Nagayama Naoki also held Tamori’s hand, “I can only say sorry~”

ˆ “.”

Tamori almost choked at this sentence. What does it mean to come empty-handed this time? Did you bring gifts before? Is our "It's Okay to Laugh" a program that requires guests to receive gifts? !

“Naoki-san, please don’t say that, others will misunderstand that our program team is asking for gifts!”

“Huh? Don’t you want it?” Nagayama Naoki asked doubtfully, “Then why do you (beep) tell me that I need to bring it. And it costs at least (beep) yen or more?!”

“Please don’t block the beep manually!” Tamori was a little anxious, “Others will think it’s our program that blocks it!”

I have to say that Naoki Nagayama is indeed a bit crazy when in the spotlight. He and Tamori really seemed to be talking about manga, which made the audience in the studio burst into laughter. The atmosphere of the show suddenly changed. Just very happy.

 After finally explaining it, Tamori took Nagayama Naoki and sat down on the seat.

“Every time Naoki-san comes here, it feels a little unexpected! Are you still planning to confess your love to our female assistant Sanae-chan this time?”

Nagayama Naoki looked at Miyata Sanae on the side, feeling a little guilty. The two previous lines, once "a one-minute friend" and once "love you for ten thousand years", although a bit embarrassing, did make Miyata Sanae misunderstood. She handed over a small note with contact information~

“Hahaha, I don’t dare to do anything too extreme this time~”

Tamori then directed the topic to the scandal of the past few days: "Is it because you did something too abrupt to Akina-chan and you got disliked?"

ˆ “.”

The audience present instantly became excited again and began to boo.

“Tamorisan, that’s because of the drinking. My head is not clear.”

"Ah, it was drunken sex!" Tamori said, "But you can also compose songs on the spot, Naoki-san is still very good!"

 “.haha, thank you for the compliment.”

“So you were still conscious at that time, right?”

ˆ “.”

Why is this host so endless? However, Tamori is indeed a host born from the bottom. He knows exactly what the audience likes to watch. His several questions have touched the G-spot of the audience, making the inside of the studio There was a roar of people.

 The smile on the program director’s face never stopped, and it was indeed very wise to replace him with Naoki Nagayama this time.

 When the atmosphere at the scene calmed down a little, Tamori began to ask about Naoki Nagayama’s recent situation:

 “Is Naoki-san filming any movies recently?”

“That’s not the case, it’s Shuichi-san’s filming. “Love Will End Like the Rain” is being edited.”

 “Are you making music?”

 “It depends on when inspiration breaks out~”

 “Is Zhishu Sang writing?”

 “Not really.”

“I heard that a KTV opened in Roppongi. Was it opened by Naoki-san?” Tamori said about the KTV that is very famous in the industry. People in the industry more or less know that the KTV in Harajuku was opened by Naoki Nagayama.

 “That’s not the case, my cousin drove it.”

"What has Naoki-san been doing recently? Could it be that he has been lying at home and sleeping?" Tamori couldn't believe it. He clearly felt that there was news about Naoki Nagayama everywhere, but he did nothing?

“It’s not like I haven’t done anything. I recently planned a music-related program and are looking for people from the program team.” Naoki Nagayama looked at Tamori.

"Huh? Naoki-san, why are you looking at me like this? Do you want to invite me to be the host?" Tamori vaguely thought of the purpose of Naoki Nagayama coming to him.

"Since Tamori-san has seen through it," Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment and took out the plan and contract rolled together from the inner pocket of his casual clothes, "This is the plan for the program and the production contract for the program. Please take a look at Tamoli-san!”

 After saying this, the studio became a little quiet for a moment. Everyone was confused by Naoki Nagayama’s behavior. They didn’t know if it was the effect of the show or if it was real. But Naoki Nagayama’s expression seemed to be very serious!

"Naoki-san, you came to participate in "It's Okay to Laugh", and you actually want to poach me as the host?!" Tamori seemed a little unconvinced, and opened the plan book and read it, "It's actually true. proposal!!"

As he spoke, he also showed it to the audience. "It's really a music program! "Musicstation"."

The audience in the studio began to discuss in a buzzing manner. "It's Okay to Laugh" is a nationally broadcast program. On the program, it was openly stated that the host would be invited to another program, and a planning letter and contract were also presented. This is in the variety show. It has never happened in history!

 “Why are you inviting me? I don’t know anything about music!”

 “Tamorisan knows everything about the audience, that’s enough!”

"Please consider it carefully, Tamori-san. I can tell Tamori-san about the pros and cons of the program right now!" Naoki Nagayama didn't seem to be joking. As long as Tamori-san nodded, he could tell it on the spot. Even in front of a national television audience

“About this, it’s better not to use it.” Tamori quickly changed the topic and put away the plan, “I will put away this plan, but now let’s get back to the show.”

As he spoke, he began to talk about the recent news and Lala's daily routine. He also explored Naoki Nagayama's personal emotional state, which everyone was curious about, several times.

 Let the audience’s curiosity rise again~

 The program director in the audience wiped the sweat from his forehead. Today's program was really exciting.

At the same time, Shuichi Itou from Shuyou Studio had a big mouth and even forgot to eat his lunch.

 “Naoki-san, it’s really unexpected!”

Yoshimura Otomo smiled: "I knew he would cause something!"

In the preparation room of Fuji TV's "Twilight Meow Meow", ever since Nishi Rumi informed them, Otasu Sugiura and Yasushi Akimoto have been watching "It's Okay to Laugh" in front of the TV in the office.

At this time, seeing Nagayama Naoki inviting everyone, Akimoto Yasun asked with some surprise:

“Naoki-san isn’t serious, is he? He’s really planning a new variety show? Why haven’t we received any news at all?”

“I’ve received this, haven’t you?” Otasu Sugiura’s face became serious, “You were told on Fuji TV’s program!”

Nishimei was a little worried: "Naoki-san is expressing dissatisfaction?"

“I don’t know, but I always feel that Naoki-san doesn’t have this kind of character.” Otayoshi Sugiura thought for a while, and finally shook his head, “Anyway, Naoki-san is in Fuji. Let’s go find him and ask him for details after the show is over!”

Why does Nagayama Naoki plan a new music variety show? Fuji TV already has "Night Hit"!

Even with a framework agreement, TV stations will not accept programs of the same type!

There was confusion in Akimoto Yasushi's eyes, and he even looked down upon Naoki Nagayama. Naoki-san, do you want to show off your words first and then tell them, and then use the general trend to get the TV station to accept your program?

 “This is not like the Naoki-san I know!”
