“

It was a few days later when Yasushi Akimoto officially heard this piece of music.

ˆThe majestic melody, coupled with the simple and sincere lyrics, is filled with the weight of history and feelings of life under the performance of Misora ​​Hibari, and everyone who hears this song is deeply moved.

Of course Akimoto Yasushi also listened to this song and couldn’t help but burst into tears:

“If I can write such a song in my life, even if my life ends now, it should be worth it!!”

 But when I was moved, I felt an inexplicable unwillingness in my heart, as if it was something that should be my own.

Aware of this, Qiu Yuanyasu couldn't help but slap himself:

“Yasu Akimoto! How could you have such an idea out of jealousy! Even if you don’t want to, this is clearly Naoki Nagayama’s song!”

After finishing speaking, this fat guy showed a look of regret on his face. He obviously tried his best to surpass Naoki Nagayama, and even gained a certain advantage in the operation of "Dusk Meow Meow", and the novel has also been I started writing several chapters.

 However, I always feel that the gap between me and Naoki-san is getting bigger and bigger!

Akimoto Yasushi only feels that there is a huge stumbling block on the road of his life, and its shadow has covered all directions ahead.

At about the same time, the guy who was being envied and hated by others was also sitting with Akina Nakamori in the living room of Yamazakura Garden, watching the playing of "Night Hit".

“It always feels a little strange to watch my own performance on TV~” Nakamori Akina always felt weird watching her singing of “Ten Commandments” on the screen.

“Why does Akina like to raise her head and look at people through her nostrils?”

Nagayama Naoki smiled and pinched the delicate bridge of his girlfriend's nose. The lines were smooth, the roots were natural, and the tip of the nose was slightly raised. She was obviously very delicate and good-looking.

"Naoki-san!" Nakamori Akina shook her head to avoid her boyfriend's clutches, and fixed the troublesome hand on her chest, feeling a little embarrassed, "That's because the cameras are underneath! And this song "Ten Commandments" is what it needs It feels condescending!!”

“Hahaha, so it’s all the photographer’s fault?”

"Of course!"

The young couple's bickering became more and more intimate. Naoki Nagayama put his arms around his shoulders and pulled Akina into his arms, and the two continued to watch the program on TV.

　　When the performance of "Continuous Flow" came to the finale, Akina was also very fascinated by it.

“I felt this song was very shocking when I was there. When I heard it on TV, I was still very moved.” The little girlfriend looked up at her boyfriend and asked, “Naoki-san, how did you come up with this song?”

"Ah this." Nagayama Naoki recalled the time when he remembered this song, "It seems to be at the end of November last year. Ah, that time Mingming and Akina went out to buy groceries and prepare to cook, and then they found signs of paparazzi. , so I was a little disappointed to return to Sansakura-in alone.”

“Then I saw the empty room. Then I saw the calendar. I felt that it was almost the last month of the year. I was very emotional. So I got inspired.”

Listening to what her boyfriend said, Akina Nakamori had some strange feelings. It turned out that the song "Continuous Flow" had her own "contribution".

"Is that really the case?" My girlfriend lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head with bright eyes, seeming to have come up with a good idea, "Then Naoki-san, if I leave Yamasakura now, will Naoki-san also do the same? Very disappointed, can I write a song as good as "The Stream"?!"

ˆ “.”

  You are such a clever little guy. Nagayama Naoki looked at his girlfriend quite speechlessly, sighing mentally. After all, it was his choice, so he must be a bit stupid~

"Naoki-san, are you saying that I am stupid in your heart?" Akina's eyes changed.

 Are all fools’ intuitions so sharp? Nagayama Naoki was surprised~

Perhaps being stimulated by Nagayama Naoki's expression, Nakamori Akina got into a fight with Nagayama Naoki angrily.

Yutaro yawned at his feet and lay back silently. The dog had been used to it after experiencing it many times.

Meowtaro, who was originally lying on the armrest of the sofa, looked at the two noisy people with disgust and silently moved to his cat climbing frame.

 After the laughter, Akina Nakamori’s cheeks had a trace of blush because of the fight just now, and she looked so red that she wanted to take a bite~

He leaned against his boyfriend again and calmed his breathing. At this time, Nagayama Naoki asked:

“Akina, when we go to Kiyose’s filming tomorrow, Fang Ze-san and the others will go directly to the venue?”

 After two weeks of preparation, the production team of "Musicstation" has been basically completed. They are still waiting for data, but invitations to idol singers have begun, and filming will officially start in early July.

But before that, the interview with the special guest’s hometown must be filmed first.

“Hi, let’s meet up at Kiyose.” Nakamori Akina said that she was energetic again when she talked about shooting tomorrow, “In the park in the city center.”

“Kyose is a small place, so you will inevitably run into Akina’s acquaintances, right?” Naoki Nagayama asked, “Is it okay?”

“Ah, I was a little shy when I first debuted, but it doesn’t matter now!” Akina Nakamori said very calmly.

The baby fat on her face has receded a lot, and her clear jawline has a much more mature look. She is no longer the little girl who just debuted. Experienced performances and activities.

I have met all kinds of different people, and now I am able to maintain my reputation as an artist, at least in front of the public.

Nagayama Naoki did not continue to ask more about his friends and neighbors, but there was one more thing:

 “Then at home, do you want to take a photo?”

“About home,” Nakamori Akina had actually called her mother, Chieko. “Tomorrow, my mother has to go to work, my father is still looking after a store in Saitama Prefecture, and Akiho has gone to class. So there is no one at home.”

Nakamori Akina’s brothers and sisters are all married and working, but the only one who is underage is the youngest sister, who is still in high school.

Parents are still working. Although Akina gave all the funds to support the family to her mother last time, she was not able to afford the whole family by herself.

“Actually, the house is not big. There is nothing interesting to see when we go in,” Akina Nakamori said.

 For a poor family, it was of course impossible for the six brothers and sisters to share a room. She had shared a room with Mingsui since she was a child. After I moved out to work, there were fewer and fewer traces of Akina left in the house.

 “Then just listen to Akina~”

“Wait a minute, Naoki-san went to Misora ​​Hibari’s house last time, didn’t he ask for a signed record?” Nakamori Akina suddenly remembered, “I’ll just bring it back for my mother tomorrow!”

 “Ah, that’s just right~”

Nagayama Naoki didn’t panic at all. Fortunately, he had already requested a signed record from the Kobe Entertainment Club two days ago!

Far away in the ancestral home of the Yamaguchi-gumi in Shimizu, Shizuoka, Hayato Nagayama rarely watched a variety show.

In the past, his favorite thing was listening to the radio. After all, it had been his hobby for most of his life. Watching TV was only for watching the news, and as he got older, his eyesight no longer allowed him to do so.

 Today I came to watch "Ye Hit" because I have been paying close attention to Misora ​​Hibari recently. Naoki Nagayama asked Misora ​​Hibari to go to the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters to intercede, and said that he would just send a song.

The old man was very curious as to what kind of song would move Misora ​​Hibari to actively participate in Yakuza affairs. In the previous trailer, it was mentioned that Misora ​​Hibari's latest song "The Stream" was her first song, which made this old man curious about variety shows.

When the majestic melody of "The Endless Stream" started playing, Hibari Misora's voice was full of emotion:

ˆ “

　　でこぼこ道やquがりくねった道 (bumpy road ~ winding road ~)

Di図さえない (There is no record on the map~)

　　　　　　 (This is like life~)

“

 Singing like this triggered Hayato Nagayama’s memories of his life.

 Looking back at half a life, there have been twists and turns and unevenness. However, an individual’s life has not left even a single trace in the great tide of world affairs.

 “It’s just like life!”

Hayato Nagayama sighed. After all, he can only be regarded as an ordinary person with a little luck. The traces after decades will be nothing more than a spiritual tablet with his name written on it.

But one of my grandsons is different. He is already destined to leave a mark in history.

 “Can Naoki be able to write such a song at such a young age?”

 He has no doubts about why Misora ​​Hibari agreed to help his family's business. Any singer would be tempted by songs that can be passed down for a long time.

"But thanks to Naoki's intervention this time, we can't let Naoki suffer!" Hayato Nagayama thought about it. After all, this is the case in the Yakuza. If rewards and punishments are not clearly defined, then a society cannot develop.

After thinking carefully for a while, Hayato Nagayama asked his servant to call Nagayama Kumahara over and told him the matter in detail.

Nagayama Kumahara scratched his head:

“But father, what can we give Naoki now?”

“KTV shares, Naoki has said before, only 10%; in terms of money, Naoki may be making money faster than us now; in terms of clubs, you don’t want Naoki to get involved too much.”

Hayato Nagayama slapped the table angrily: "Isn't this what I came to discuss with you?! You can't just watch the next generation pay without showing any sign of it!"

The five-year-old Nagayama Kumahara is in trouble

The old man also sighed helplessly. His grandson was too good and it was hard to deal with. As a grandfather, he didn’t know what to do if he wanted to give a gift. As he looked around, his eyes suddenly focused:

“Xiong Yuan, what do you think about giving the ‘Red Snow Zuoji’ to Naoki?”

Nagayama Kumahara turned around subconsciously and saw a beautiful short knife on the knife stand in the main room. The blade was straight with almost no curvature. The knife was decorated with meticulous paintings and numerous gorgeous decorations.

ˆ “.”

"Although I originally wanted to leave it to you as a family heirloom, a famous sword like the 'Red Snow Zumon' should naturally have a more famous owner. Although Naoki is not skilled in martial arts, he has also made great achievements in literature. Don't be reluctant to part with this 'Red Snow Left Text'"

As Hayato Nagayama kept talking, Kumagara Nagayama slapped him in the face:

“Father, please shut up! Don’t say anything more about ‘Hongxue Zuowen’! Don’t you feel ashamed?!”

　　　When Nagayama Kumahara was coaxed by his father when he was a child, he really thought that this sword was some kind of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's favorite sword, the "Red Snow Zumonji".

But this was clearly something Hayato Nagayama used to pay off a debt when he broke into someone else's house and forcibly collected protection money when he was young.

Although it can be considered an antique, it is at most just an imitation.

"You unfilial son! You actually said that about your father!" Hayato Nagayama said angrily, "I remember clearly that that person's family turned out to be very wealthy, and many things in it looked very historical! This one The sword is enshrined on the knife stand, and there are paintings by Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the wall.”

“When I snatched it away, the owner still shouted sadly, ‘My Red Snow Zumonji’~~’” Hayato Nagayama was convinced of this, “This must be the missing ‘Red Snow Zumonji’!”

 “No one knows what ‘Hongxue Zuowen’ looks like!”

 “So this one must be!”

Yongshan Xiongyuan became even more speechless. He had secretly found someone to identify it!

This old man will never change his mind!

 The key point is that this knife is really beautifully made and has a sense of history. It is also very good even as a collectible.

"Then let's do it, give the sword to Naoki." Nagayama Kumahara didn't think much of the samurai sword. The sword order was abolished many years ago. If you want to see blood in this era, a gun will do.

“However, don’t say this is a ‘Hongxue Zuowen’!”

The first appearance of "The Stream" caused a huge response. Countless calls were made to the hotline of Fuji TV and Kobe Entertainment Club that night.

 People are asking:

“I’m so touched that I can feel tears streaming down my face when I listen to this song! Please help me convey my feelings to Misora ​​Hibari!”

“When will Misora ​​Hibari’s latest album be released?”

 "Will "The Stream" be released as a single?"

 “Hibari Misora’s voice is perfect for the new song!

 The lyrics and music are also very touching. Is it really Naoki Nagayama who composed it? "

Various audience feedback caught the TV station off guard. As for the Kobe Entertainment Club, in addition to calls from fans, there were also many program invitations and invitations from theaters in major cities, all of which wanted Misora ​​Hibari to come to them. Sing this song.

At the same time, major record companies in the entertainment industry suddenly paid attention to Naoki Nagayama again.

I used to think that all Naoki Nagayama wrote were lyrical pop songs. Although the sales were very good, the suitable singers were all relatively young. However, the encore "The Continuous Flow" allowed everyone to see Naoki Nagayama's creative ability.

It’s not like he can’t write songs other than love songs! And the songs written are so excellent!

Hence, many music producers have rekindled their interest in inviting Naoki Nagayama to sing.

What? Don’t write songs for idols other than tree friends?

Then who is Seiko Matsuda? Who is Kashiwara Yoshie? Who is Akina Nakamori? And what about Misora ​​Hibari this time?

The first three teenage idols may be because of Nagayama Naoki's playfulness, but Misora ​​Hibari is definitely not the case! (Oh no, this is also possible.)

 So, isn’t the price not enough? !

 Let Naoki Nagayama speak! Money, beauty, honor.

As long as he can offer a price, can our major record companies still counter-offer? In short, both parties will definitely be able to reach an agreement in the end!

A high school classmate got married, and I took the opportunity to chat with some good friends I hadn’t seen for a long time~

Some people have a monthly salary of less than 10,000 yuan, while some people already make a million yuan a year.

 When friends meet, it’s better not to talk about income easily. The gap is... tsk tsk tsk.
