Tokyo Bubble Life

 Watching the "thebesten" program on TV in the living room at night.

Since it is a live broadcast, Akina Nakamori, who is currently holding a concert in Tomakomai City, Hokkaido, can only broadcast it through satellite signal relay.

It was already late at night, and Naoki Nagayama felt a little distressed when he saw Akina on TV performing in the hotel lobby.

“I have two performances during the day and work at night. No wonder I feel a lot thinner.”

Akina’s jawline is very obvious on the screen. Originally there were some traces of baby fat between her eyebrows, but now she looks less cute and more cold.

But there is one thing to say, it becomes even more beautiful~~

 Not long after her live broadcast ended, the phone next to the sofa came to mind.

 “Zhi Shu Mulang!”

The gentle and sweet voice he just heard on TV suddenly rang from the microphone, making Nagayama Naoki a little confused.

 “Mingna. I was watching your live broadcast just now.”

"Haha, I went back to the room to rest after it was over, and then I called right away!" Akina Nakamori said with a hint of pride in her tone, "How are you? Were you shocked?"

“Isn’t it just that it feels amazing to be intimidated~” Naoki Nagayama replied, and then asked, “Did Akina sing twice this morning and afternoon? Is there any problem with her voice?”

 “Bully tape!” The voice on the microphone was full of vitality, “Professional singers all use their abdomen to make their voices sound! So the pressure on the throat is actually not great!”

“But it’s still very hard.” Nagayama Naoki sighed, “After this nationwide tour, I must take a good vacation!”

“Oh~~~I also really hope that I will be recording the next song “Decoration (Tears Are Not Decoration)” at that time, so I can take a break.”

The voice on the microphone said this, but she seemed unsure. After all, she was an artist in a management agency, and her work arrangements still depended on the agency.

 “Yes, it will definitely be possible.” Naoki Nagayama could only comfort him like this.

However, the end of this year is the deadline for Akina Nakamori’s debut contract. The new contract is already under discussion, and a decision will definitely be made in the second half of the year whether to renew it. He is considering whether to persuade Akina to sign the contract with Shuyou.

Although it is not as powerful and well-connected as giant firms such as Watanabe, Burning, and Yoshimoto Kogyo, the Girl’sGroup brokerage firm now owned by Shuyou is also a medium-sized firm.

It’s much better than Kenyin, which currently has almost only one idol, Akina~

Of course you can't say this on the phone. Nagayama Naoki plans to ask Akina what she means after the nationwide tour. Then we talked about the upcoming itinerary:

“Naoki-san, have you received the national tour schedule?”

“Hmm” Nagayama Naoki did receive a detailed itinerary for Akina Nakamori’s national tour, with the time, city, and even the hotel where she stayed.

If Akina's personal guards saw this, they would go crazy with jealousy.

“Is it possible for it to intersect with Naoki-san’s schedule?” Akina Nakamori asked with great anticipation.

Naoki Nagayama has actually done some research: "We should be able to have a lot of scenes in Kamakura and Shizuoka in the next movie."

 “Todoroki?!” Akina became happy, but then lost her mind and said, “That’s probably... eh~~~ It’s still two weeks away!”

The so-called national tour is not performed city by city from top to bottom according to geographical location, but according to the level of the city, and then with reference to other conditions, such as the number of fans, ticket purchases, and venues. Kamakura and Shizuoka are already nationwide Halfway through the tour.

“Akina, time flies so fast.” Nagayama Naoki said with a smile. After getting busy, a week just flies by in the blink of an eye.

“But. I just really want to see Naoki-san.”

"How about I get a satellite signal repeater. Then use a camera and we can broadcast it live on TV!" Nagayama Naoki had a whimsical idea. Now that video calls have not been invented, he used live TV to meet. "Akina also brings a set of equipment here so that we can see each other in real time~"

 “Then that’s too exaggerated!”

 Although Akina on the microphone said this, she still felt eager to give it a try, but after thinking for a long time she still refused.

“There are so many people in the team. If someone finds out about it, it will be revealed! At that time, someone will say strange things.”

“Well, I can only see it after I invent the video phone.” Nagayama Naoki sighed.

　　“Hahaha~Naoki-san is just the father!”

 I suddenly felt happy again~

 The next morning, it was another sunny summer day.

 Naoki Nagayama got up from the bedroom, looked at the scorching sunshine and sultry weather outside, and was confused about whether to wear long pants.

 As far as the Showa era is concerned, men's customary summer clothing is still shirts and trousers, even in school. People who wear loose T-shirts and big pants are generally considered to be performance art or homeless people.

"Well~ forget it, I have made so much money in my life, can't I just wear whatever I want?!" Nagayama Naoki became cruel and decided not to be bound by the eyes of the world anymore, "It's not black What’s the big deal with just a pair of big pants like silk women’s clothing?”

 After making the decision, I put on a pair of loose shorts, of course not the kind worn outside underwear!

 After a simple breakfast, he drove out in his convertible.

He was riding fast and furious along the way, wearing big sunglasses, loose clothes, and playing rock music from the stereo. He was spontaneous and casual, and even felt like he was killing people and blowing up the streets in the 1990s.

However, Naoki Nagayama was soon stopped by a traffic policeman: "Sir, you were speeding on the road ahead."

 “Private Marseille, I didn’t pay attention for the moment.”

"This speeding is not very serious, so it is just a deduction of points, not a fine. However," the traffic policeman recognized Naoki Nagayama, "Mr. Naoki Nagayama, if it happens again, you will face a fine, or even a temporary fine if it is serious." The driver’s license has been seized.”

 “Hi, Private Marseille!”

 Finally, Naoki Nagayama got his first ticket after coming to Showa.

 After arriving at the studio, Suzuki Yukari at the front desk showed a happy smile again:

 “Zhi Shusang, oh ha yo~”

“Ah, it’s so early, Yunka-chan, and it’s so early, Hana-chan,” Naoki Nagayama, who was feeling a little depressed, nodded and walked towards the office.

The remaining Suzuki Yukari became frustrated and complained to Xing Jiahua next to him: "Naoki-san didn't even look at me today! He just left. He even put on makeup carefully."

“I’ve said it before, a guy like Naoki-san is not your cup of tea, Xingxia-chan! You’d better find an honest man to date and marry as soon as possible.”

 Xing Jiahua looked sober in the world.

ˆ “.”

When Naoki Nagayama arrived at the office, he sat directly on the desk chair and let out a long sigh.

This made Yoshimura Otomo have to ask: "Naoki-san, what happened?"

 “I received a speeding ticket today.”

“Haha, what’s this?” Fangcun Dayou laughed, “Old drivers will often receive it too.”

“That’s right~” Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that the twelve points in his previous life were never enough, “I want to keep this ticket as a souvenir.”

“.” Otomo Fangcun shook his head, “As long as you like it.”

Pushing the ticket under the glass of his desk, Naoki Nagayama remembered that he had brought something with him. He took out the manuscript paper folded into small squares from his trouser pocket and spread it out on his desk.

Then he picked up the phone and called Moki Tsunoda from the Finance Department: "Moki-chan, please come to the office."

Not long after, Moki Tsunoda walked in: "Naoki-san, are you looking for me?"     "Yes." Naoki Nagayama handed the manuscript paper over, "This is a new song I created. Could you please help me register it, Toki-chan?" .”

In addition to being Shuyu's accountant, Tsunoda Moki is also responsible for the financial situation of Nagayama Naoki's personal studio. Therefore, she handles various copyright fees for Nagayama Naoki, and she naturally manages the copyright of new songs. .

“Hi!” Tsunoda Moki took the score and nodded, “I understand, I’ll register immediately.”

 “Aligado~”

 When Tsunoda Moki walked out, Yoshimura Otomo asked: "Naoki-san composed another song?"

“Well, I created it on the way to TV Asahi yesterday. I wrote it on the order list while eating, haha.” Naoki Nagayama thought of yesterday’s situation and laughed, “It’s called “sunshinegirl””

"That's it." Yoshimura Otomo was used to Nagayama Naoki's occasional creations. He was more concerned about another thing, "What about the original manuscript?"

 “Ah, that order list.”

 “Hmm!” Written on such a strange piece of paper, it is even more valuable for collection!

“Ahaha, I gave it to the waiter~”

“!!” Yoshimura Otomo almost stood up, “You just give it away so casually?! Are you still a waiter? Naoki-san, do you know how valuable the original manuscript of your work is?!”

“Well, I felt very lucky at that time.”

Nagayama Naoki actually feels that this kind of manuscript is of little value. Just like most celebrities, they will not treasure their own draft paper.

 “Alas~~~” Fangcun Otomo seemed to see a prodigal son at this moment.

“Haha, Otomo-san, I promise to give you the original manuscript next time, okay?!” Naoki Nagayama comforted him.

"." Yoshimura Otomo thought for a long time, facing a casual guy like Nagayama Naoki, and finally decided to add a safeguard that could cure him, "Get the hook!"

 Naoki Nagayama definitely didn’t choose to come to the studio on a hot day just to send him the score of a song.

 He pulled Kyū Kijima, his two assistants, and many members of the film crew into the conference room:

 "Mina-san, as you all know, the filming of "Kikujiro's Summer" is about to begin."

Looking at almost a dozen people in the conference room, Nagayama Naoki was about to formally determine the date of filming:

“The creative team will announce the film’s production information at a press conference tomorrow, and our official opening ceremony will be next Monday.”

Nagayama Naoki placed the already scheduled shooting schedule in the middle of the conference room table: "August and September are one of the hottest seasons in summer, and we all have to be prepared to shoot under the scorching sun for about a month. "

“For everyone, the upcoming holiday is the last rest day before shooting. Let’s take it easy!”

 The production communication meeting lasted for more than an hour. Naoki Nagayama basically talked and maintained a good style of unifying thoughts beforehand.

This is equivalent to a swearing-in meeting for the filming team. Naoki Nagayama told everyone about the filming cycle and subsequent arrangements of the film, and finally dismissed them~

 Only Kijima Xu and two assistants were left.

“Kijima-kun, as well as Kouaki Sakata and Miguel Obara, tonight is the live broadcast of "MusicStation". You should have arranged for replacement camera members, right?"

"Hi!" Mitsuaki Obara said a little nervously, "The training has been completed! Indoor shooting is relatively simple, and the camera positions are fixed. Their ability is not a problem at all!"

"Well, then you two will go take care of each other for the last time tonight, and then you will start shooting the new movie." Nagayama Naoki nodded, and then said to Kijima Xu, "Kijima-kun, the next two of us will , go find the goddess."

  “.Goddess?”

“Well, originally you could go alone, but I’m afraid the goddess won’t find you.”

“Zhi Shusang, there’s no way a person like me won’t be able to detect you when you’re in front of me!”

 “What if the goddess thinks you are an evil spirit that suddenly appears and sprinkles salt on you?!”

ˆ “.”

The two assistants listened to their boss being teased by the boss's boss without changing their expressions, and huddled up to reduce their presence.

Just when Naoki Nagayama was planning to go out with Kyū Kijima, a phone call came to the office.

 “Moses Moses, I am Naoki Eternal Mountain.”

 “Naoki-san?” took the microphone handed over by Yoshimura Otomo, “I’m Nishi Rumi~”

"Ah, Nishirumi-san?" Naoki Nagayama was surprised. Fuji TV hadn't contacted him for a long time. "Why did you call me suddenly today?"

“Naoki-san, the recording of the "Newspeak Popular Words Award" at the end of this month has almost been completed, and the program team would like to invite you to come and take a look."

Nishimi's words made Naoki Nagayama even more curious, because if it was about the "Newspeak Catchphrase Awards", Kuniji Morikawa of Shogakukan would definitely call him, or even worse, the gilded rich second-generation Yuya Furuya.

 “Are you going to Fuji TV?”

"Hi!"

"today?"

"if you can."

Listening to Nirumi's expression of wanting to say something but not saying it, Nagayama Naoki decided not to beat around the bush: "Nishirumi-san, we are old friends. Is this really what you want me to come over this time?"

“Just say I can’t do it~~” Nishirumi complained, and then said dejectedly, “Actually, it’s about "Dusk Meow Meow". I want to get Naoki-san’s advice.”

Nagayama Naoki laughed: "Haha, "Twilight Meow" hasn't been waiting very well recently. Could it be that the ratings have started to drop?"

“Not yet, but there is a trend, so I would like Naoki-san to give me some advice.”

Nagayama Naoki actually doesn’t really want to get over it. He is now focused on whether Kikujiro can survive this summer:

 “What suggestions can I make? I’ve said it before, the program “Twilight Meow” is not a longevity program.”

"If Naoki-san leaves "Twilight Meow Meow" alone, the Kitten Club will slowly dissipate, right?" Nishiro Miriam said a little eagerly, "The members inside will be very pitiful. I still remember Naoki San is very interested in one of the members named Kudo Shizuka."

“If Naoki-san can give advice, it is not impossible for Shizuka Kudo to move to Shuyou.”

Nagayama Naoki was confused when he heard this?

what does this mean?

 Are you trying to use a honey trap or something?

 Am I, Nagayama Masaki, such a person who cannot stand the test? !

 Should the artists you care about be brought under your banner?

 Otomo Fangcun opposite is looking over!

 “Ahem.”

“Since Nishiro Mei-san has said so, I naturally want to come over and take a look!”
