Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 993 993. A Seed

In the BEING era, the production company was Taiyuki Nagato's voice, but it was not Taiko Nagato's turn to say VERMILLION records.In particular, the new record company is eager to expand, recruiting musicians aggressively, and setting up a new production team. Zhou Fangyuxiong's confidant Shunichi Baba plays an important role in the company, which makes Nagato Taiyuki even more restrained.

In order to hold down Shunichi Baba and secure the position of president, Taiyuki Nagato has to make some achievements and show his loyalty to him.Back then, bowing down to Zhou Fang Yuxiong was a choice that had no choice.But now that this step has been taken, Nagato Taiko naturally has to plan carefully for himself.

Matsumoto Takahiro and Inaba Hiroshi, both of them have no interest in participating in the Red and White Song Festival. They think that on New Year's Eve, they should spend their own time instead of appearing in the New Year's Eve family carnival to please the audience.

However, if VERMILLION Records wants to make a name for itself, B'z is the only choice.For Nagato Taiyuki, this band is his "property" from BEING, and B'z will be the signboard. He has the upper hand in this round.

As for the thoughts of Takahiro Matsumoto and Hiroshi Inaba.

Although the two made it clear that they did not want to participate in the Red and White Song Concert, Nagato Taiyuki played both soft and hard ways. He also asked Matsumoto Takahiro to understand his dilemma, and also mentioned that the band has been indebted to Zhou Fang Yuxiong for the past year. repay the favor.

Takahiro Matsumoto was speechless, partly due to pressure, and partly out of support for Nagato Taiyuki, the president who has cooperated for many years. In the end, B'z agreed to participate in the red and white song meeting as the opening singer of the white group.

Rather than saying that BURNING forced B'z to support the scene, it would be better to say that Nagato Taiko bowed his head while pressing B'z to show his loyalty to Zhou Fang Yuxiong and stabilize his position.

However, the group of BEING old people present here, whether it was Naruto Ogiso who started the topic, or Takahiro Matsumoto and Hiroshi Inaba, all avoided talking about this matter and did not want to bring it up to Taiyuki Nagato.

This group of musicians chose BEING, a small production company, because they undoubtedly had ideals in mind.Later, with Taiko Nagato, he merged into a new record company, and a considerable part of the reason was out of his trust in Taiko Nagato.

Although he is arbitrary and a powerful businessman, Nagato Taiyuki is by no means without talent and charm as a music producer.

However, after merging into the new record company, many things have changed from the previous BEING era.How to adapt to this change, accept the changed reality, and do a good job in a new mode different from BEING are all problems for these people.

Because of this, these few people from the BEING era naturally developed such a small group.

Takahiro Matsumoto himself does not have such rich and intense ideas as the other people in the "Classmates Association".For him, Nagato Taiyuki is the same kind who can work together. Since the band has debuted, it needs to be affiliated with a record company and join VERMILLION Records. At least Nagato Taiyuki is the president.

Regarding having to participate in the red and white song meeting this time, Matsumoto Takahiro took a step back because of the enjoyment of the media resources of the BURNING department and Nagato Taiko's request.

But only this time.

With the whole BURNING department making great fanfare to recruit a reserve army for VERMILLION records, newcomers will surely emerge from next year.At that time, whether it is the quota of the Red and White Song Club or anything else, it has nothing to do with B'z...

Can it really be irrelevant from now on?

Such a shadow flashed across Matsumoto Takahiro's mind.This shadow flashed past, and he gulped down the iced beer.

……

On the 21st, the day of the live broadcast, DREAMS COME TRUE returned to Makuhari Messe.For the collective appearance at the opening, the invited singers arrived early and waited for the live broadcast to start.

When the daily MUSIC STATION program is broadcast, the studio seats are only open to women.The reason for this is that there are many women in the star group, so naturally there are many applicants.The second reason is that the female voice is high-pitched. When cheering on the scene, the screaming sounds more atmospheric, and the effect is better when supporting.

However, for today's live broadcast, with [-] viewers, one can imagine that the atmosphere must be in place, so it doesn't matter the gender of the viewers.

For the four-hour live broadcast, there is a group appearance with the audience at the beginning, which is similar to the process of the Red and White Song Concert.Of course, tonight is purely carnival and has nothing to do with the duel.What is put first is performance, not security.Even if you accidentally make a small accident on the stage, such as not getting a good card or throwing a little field on the stage, it will not be recorded in the small book.

In this background, acquaintances can be seen everywhere.

However, once Yanqiao Shen put on the headgear, these interpersonal relationships have nothing to do with him.Even the band's socialite, Nakamura, stayed in the crowded backstage before the opening, and he didn't have much intention to talk to people.

It's Meihechan, she has the opposite temper to Nakamura-san, the more she can't shut up the conversation at this moment, she pulls Iwahashi Shinichi's arm, close to his hood, and whispers to him.

...Although, if Shinichi Iwahashi through the hood can hear clearly, it has nothing to do with "whispering".

Yanqiao Shenyi secretly thought about the reaction on his face—no one saw it anyway, so he let her pull him to talk, and listened to what she said, and he nodded without a perfunctory mentality.Miwa-chan didn't care if Iwahashi Shinichi's reaction was perfunctory, or maybe he didn't care if he was listening, but just dragged him on and on.

She said a pass, happy.The staff shuttled back and forth, preparing for the last 10 minutes before the opening, and conveying the signal for the start of the show to the upcoming singers.

A staff member with a work pass around his neck came over, and Mihe-chan stepped back a little.He raised his head again, noticed something, and subconsciously looked towards a certain place in the background.

Looking over here is Akina Nakamori.

It was Akina-san who she had choreographed several times to tease and ridicule Iwahashi Shinichi.In Miwa-chan's mind, the first thing that came to mind was the words she made fun of Shinichi Iwahashi on the way to Makuhari Messe yesterday.

Miwa-chan was a little curious, and cast her eyes on Nakamori Akina who was dressed gorgeously.The stage costume she prepared was gorgeous and mature. However, the person was not on the stage but off the stage, and was set off by the gorgeous costume, which made her look childish.

But no matter how you look at it, she is also a beauty.

Sure enough, Iwahashi Shinichi's favorite type is beauty.

It's no surprise that guy likes beauties.However, what is more surprising is that such a beauty would actually like the type of Iwahashi Shinichi.

Thinking of this, Meihechan suddenly felt a little confused.

What type is Shinichi Iwahashi?
She withdrew her gaze from Nakamori Akina, turned her head, and looked at Iwahashi Shinichi.Only saw a giraffe headgear.At this time, on the monitor screen in the background, the host Tamoli stood in the middle of the stage.

Today's live broadcast starts.

……

When I was with Yoshida-san and Nakamura-san of the band, Iwahashi Shinichi seemed to be another person.But on the other hand, Nakamori Akina on stage is quite different from Nakamori Akina off stage.

Now that things have happened, it is not easy to see Shinichi Iwahashi dressed as a giraffe man.The giraffe man is so conspicuous, wherever he is, he can be found at a glance.

When he found him, the person next to him must be Yoshida-san who was pulling him to talk.

Tonight, Akina Nakamori will sing songs from her new album, but Shinichi Iwahashi will not appear on the same stage as her "gift" to accompany her.Both of them have their own things to do.

After the commercial, it was Akina Nakamori's turn to appear.Before the performance started, Tamori and TV Asahi, two anchors, one male and one female, conducted a short interview with the guests as usual.

"Ming Caijiang has been a very fulfilling year this year."

Akina Nakamori bowed slightly, and raised the microphone to her mouth, "Indeed... Thanks to everyone's care, I also released a new single and a new album this year." Just open your mouth to greet each other.

Tamoli smirked, and joked casually: "Today is a stage for one person."

"Hay~" Akina Nakamori replied in a calm and mischievous manner.Looking at that expression, that smile seems to be pretending to be stupid, and it seems to contain a trace of politeness that has nothing to say.However, the whole person is obviously very relaxed.

Tamoli really laughed this time, and he didn't intend to turn this live broadcast into a talk session, let alone turn into a paparazzi.Let me just mention it casually, and give the audience on the scene and in front of the TV a chance to associate it, so forget it.

He turned to ask, "About next year, Ming Caijiang should have plans, right?"

"Hay~"

Nakamori Akina maintained the tone just now, and replied without changing.After saying the words, he first showed a small smile.

Looking at it like this, it was obvious that he was deliberately joking with Tamoli.

After joking, she began to answer questions, "First of all, the theme tour for the new album, and then in the new year, I want to seriously challenge the work of an actress..."

Saying it is a "serious challenge" rather than a "challenge" is like taking this opportunity to convey determination to the audience.This time it is not a 3-minute try, but to seriously manage the identity of an actor.

……

"Hay~"

On TV, Nakamori Akina with a mischievous smile looks like a small animal that is close to humans, and it makes people feel good.

Junko peeled an orange, divided half and handed it to her daughter.

The little girl took the orange and said crisply, "Thank you, Mom." However, her eyes fell on the TV screen again, looking at Akina Nakamori who was talking to the host.

Seeing her daughter's fascination, Junko couldn't do anything about her—this daughter is a complete TV child.But the reason why I focus on TV is because as a mother, I can neither take her out to play, nor have time to play with her.

Junko looked at her daughter, broke off an orange segment, and put it in her mouth.

"Did Maiko like Mingnai sauce?" Junko asked as if deliberately teasing her.

The little girl bit off the orange slice in her mouth, and the sweetness of the orange filled her mouth.She ate the orange, and Akina Nakamori on TV ended the conversation and started her performance today.

"I discovered a secret, Mom." As soon as "secret" was mentioned, the little girl subconsciously lowered her voice, as if the matter was of great importance, so she needed to worry that the walls had ears.

Junko thought it was funny that her daughter made a big fuss, but she still kept enough expectations on her face, and cooperated with her, "Is it a secret that only Maiko knows, or a secret that I can share with my mother?"

"I don't know~" The little girl replied with a drawn out voice, as if suddenly discouraged.She broke off a piece from the half of the orange in her hand, thought about it, and handed it to Junko.

Junko swallowed the orange slice her daughter handed over, and heard her words with an uncertain tone.

The little girl told her mother about her discovery like sharing an orange slice, "The producer-san who was in the news with Ming Caijiang before is a master of origami."

"Origami master, or keyboardist-san..." She used her free little hand to say the same thing one after another, "same as the giraffe-san in DREAMS COME TRUE."

Junko couldn't help laughing, and said, "KIRIN-san from the band also gave Maiko an origami giraffe."

"KIRIN-san is a gentle and kind person." When talking about the giraffe boy of DREAMS COME TRUE, the little girl's tone also changed.

I insisted on writing to the giraffe man, and I did get a reply from him.The little girl's love for the band and "KIRIN-san who realized her dream" did not get tired after her wish was fulfilled, nor did it fade with time.

"KIRIN-san wears a hood all the time, so I don't know what it looks like under the hood... But, KIRIN-san is just KIRIN-san." The little girl muttered, "But I secretly thought, maybe KIRIN-san is similar to that producer-san. people who look like."

So, when she saw the origami master Shinichi Iwahashi on TV, she subconsciously superimposed his image on the mysterious giraffe man... Is this her secret?
Junko smiled, "If that's the case, Kirin-san would be a decent handsome guy."

"I have learned a lot of Chinese characters this year," said the little girl, "I still want to continue writing letters to Kirin-san." She blinked, "Although my mother taught me not to be greedy, I still think that it would be nice if I could receive replies again." .”

Junko gently enlightened, "Persistence in one thing is not greed."

"Really?" The little girl smiled.

Encouraged by her mother, she became more energetic and calculated, "The outdoor tour is held once every four years. When we do it next time, Maiko will be old enough to go to outdoor performances..."

Start preparing now, save up the lucky money for Chinese New Year, and work hard to meet Kirin-san.My mother said, if you persevere and work hard for one thing, then it is not greed.

Giraffe Man only appears on the outdoor tour every four years, except for television.For the little girl, this new system planted a small seed of expectation in her heart.

She firmly believes that as long as the seed is well watered, fertilized and exposed to the sun, the seed will thrive and grow taller.And she will be sent to the cloud by the green vine grown from this seed, and see the people in the world on the cloud.

"Tonight, DREAMS COME TRUE will also appear."

On the TV, Akina Nakamori's performance is at its peak.The little girl thought that Akina-san was also a master of origami, and for some reason, she found it very interesting.
