My daily life with the original diva

Everyone says that women look most beautiful in wedding dresses, and Kimura Hiroshi is naturally looking forward to seeing his future wife in one. It's his first time getting married in two lifetimes, so you can imagine how excited he is.

Looking at all the wedding dresses in the store, Nakamori Akina was also full of anticipation, her eyes shining with a captivating light. Hearing Kimura Hiroshi say this, she immediately took Kimura Hiroshi's hand and said, "Since Hiroshi-kun wants to see them, let's go try them on quickly."

The two began selecting wedding dresses and suits in the store. The first choice was Kimura Hiroshi's suit, which was quite simple, since men's suits are all the same color except for the style. Then Kimura Hiroshi asked Nakamori Akina to pick out a suit for him with her professional fashion sense, and that was the end of Kimura Hiroshi's suit selection.

Next, Akina Nakamori started choosing. As a fashionista, she knew her own body proportions, so she easily eliminated some outdated styles that didn't suit her figure. Then she chose the styles that suited her and asked Hiroshi Kimura for advice.

Today, Akina Nakamori wore light makeup and had her hair down. As she changed into one snow-white wedding dress after another, Hiroshi Kimura couldn't take his eyes off her. She was so beautiful. Twenty-four years old is the golden age of a woman. Akina Nakamori wasn't as thin as he remembered. Through his efforts, her figure was more proportionate, which made her beauty even more dazzling than he remembered.

Although she was not quite on par with the most stunning beauties, he simply loved the feeling that Akina Nakamori gave him—that indescribable feeling.

"Why are you just staring at me, Hiro-kun? Give me some advice." Kimura Hiro saw that Nakamori Akina was both shy and happy, seeing her standing there in a daze. What woman doesn't want her future husband to have eyes for her? But they were still choosing wedding dresses and had to go for a photoshoot later, so he couldn't just keep staring at her in a daze.

"Ah, this is really beautiful. Akina looks good in everything. I don't know how to choose. Why don't we buy all the ones Akina likes?" Kimura Hiroshi only knew that they looked good, just like the beautiful women he usually liked to look at. But when it came to choosing, he didn't know, because he simply couldn't choose.

With a helpless sigh, Nakamori Akina knew that asking Kimura Hiroshi was a waste of time. She wasn't going to listen to him. If she chose all of them, there were so many, how could she possibly wear them all? Even if she could, she wouldn't be able to take enough photos. Was she going to wear a wedding dress to play around with? That was impossible. So she would have to choose for herself.

"Asking Hiro-kun was pointless, so I'll just choose myself. Miss clerk, please wrap up these three sets for me. I want these three sets. As for the money, hmph, I'll have this guy who doesn't know how to choose pay for it." Nakamori Akina said to Kimura Hiro with a wrinkled nose.

Three sets were already quite a lot, and the shop assistant was naturally overjoyed. She immediately went to settle the bill for Nakamori Akina, while Kimura Hiroshi paid. He followed behind Nakamori Akina and started swiping his card to pay after she made her selections. It has to be said that it was really expensive. Just the four sets of clothes for him and Nakamori Akina cost a whopping 17,000 US dollars. This was 17,000 US dollars in the early 1990s.

After buying the wedding dress, the store originally offered to provide makeup services, but Akina Nakamori refused. She wanted to do her own bridal makeup because the makeup artists in Europe and America tend to give Asian women a "high-fashion" look, and Akina Nakamori didn't want to have that kind of image in her wedding photos. So she thought it would be better to do her own makeup with her assistant, Ms. Noriko, which would definitely look better than what the bridal shop did.

After choosing their wedding dresses and getting into the rented car where they could change clothes in the back, they arrived at their first shooting location, Times Square in New York, where they would take their first wedding photos in America.

Chapter 608 You can't wake someone up while they're asleep

In Times Square, in Central Park, and at the Twin Towers, Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori took all sorts of wedding photos, some formal and some quirky. Akina Nakamori, who always loved to have fun, went all out with her quirky poses, striking all sorts of strange poses with Hiroshi Kimura.

Not only photos, but the photography team also recorded the entire wedding photo shoot process on video, as it was a very memorable event.

After spending a whole day taking wedding photos in New York, they immediately went to Los Angeles for another day of shooting. The back-and-forth travel was not an easy task, so after the shoot, Hiroshi Kimura took everyone directly to Hawaii. Once in Hawaii, Hiroshi Kimura announced that they would rest for two days so that they could have a good time in Hawaii.

This decision was naturally met with cheers, and everyone embarked on their Hawaiian trips. As for Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori, they naturally headed to their villa in Hawaii, where they didn't need to stay in a hotel.

"Ugh, this is so tiring. I never imagined taking wedding photos would be this exhausting." After getting the keys from the manager, Nakamori Akina collapsed onto the villa's sofa as soon as she entered, complaining incessantly.

Seeing how tired she looked, Kimura Hiroshi sat down next to her and said with a smile, "If you're too tired, then let's skip Europe and go back to Japan after filming in Hawaii?"

Nakamori Akina jumped up from the sofa instantly and said with great certainty, "No, after we finish shooting in Hawaii, we'll go to Barcelona in Europe. We absolutely can't stop halfway through, Hiroki. Although I'm very tired, I'm also very happy. We've taken so many beautiful and memorable photos. What does being a little tired matter?"

Seemingly afraid that Kimura Hiroshi might be too concerned about her and actually not go to Europe, Nakamori Akina spoke with great sincerity. After she finished speaking, she stared at Kimura Hiroshi, clearly indicating that she did not want him to say anything like he was not going to Europe.

Holding Akina Nakamori's face in his hands, Hiroshi Kimura said, "Hehe, I was just teasing you a little. Once you've made up your mind, how could you not go? But since you're very tired now, you should rest for a while. I'll go prepare your bedding. You can take a bath and then get some sleep."

"Oh, really? Hiro-kun, you're so kind. Well then, I won't be polite and will enjoy the warm service you provide," Nakamori Akina said playfully.

After helping Akina Nakamori lie down, Hiroshi Kimura went to make the bed. He also needed to check the condition of the villa. There was no other way; they didn't live here regularly, so they had to do some checks beforehand each time they came to avoid any problems after they moved in.

Fortunately, this area is an affluent neighborhood, and the management fees they pay each year are not small, so the villas are well managed and there have been no problems. As long as the bedding is laid out, they can be used.

When Kimura Hiroshi finished tidying up and came downstairs, he saw Nakamori Akina asleep on the sofa. He couldn't help but smile and mutter to himself, "She was so energetic and full of ideas during the shoot, but now she's not. She doesn't even cover herself with anything while sleeping. What if she catches a cold?"

After covering Akina Nakamori with a coat, Hiroshi Kimura went up to the second floor of the villa and looked at the distant sea view. The weather was nice, but being in the tropics, Hawaii's temperature and humidity were quite high.

After admiring the scenery for a while, Kimura Hiroshi went downstairs to check the villa's security measures again. Once he confirmed that there were no problems, he picked up the phone and called the other people staying at the hotel, inviting them to the villa that evening for a barbecue party.

After making the call, Kimura Hiroshi went downstairs to buy things for the barbecue, but when he saw Nakamori Akina sleeping on the sofa, he thought it wasn't a good idea to leave her alone in the apartment. He checked the time and saw that she had been asleep for about an hour. Kimura Hiroshi went over to wake Nakamori Akina.

Looking closely at Akina Nakamori sleeping, Hiroshi Kimura could hear her rhythmic breathing. She looked exhausted and was sleeping soundly, making it hard to bear waking her.

Kimura Hiroshi gently nudged Nakamori Akina and whispered, "Akina, wake up. I'm going to buy something. Do you want to come?"

Nakamori Akina, half asleep, seemed to hear Kimura Hiroshi speaking, but she couldn't open her eyes and was muttering something very softly, so Kimura Hiroshi couldn't hear her at all.

It was clear that he wasn't fully awake, and Kimura Hiroshi couldn't bear to wake him, so he prepared to go by himself and just close the doors and windows later.

Just as he got up and walked to the villa door, preparing to close it, Kimura Hiroshi saw Nakamori Akina, who was sleeping on the sofa, suddenly sit up and look at Kimura Hiroshi with a panicked expression as he was about to close the door.

"Hiro-kun, where are we going?" Nakamori Akina, sitting on the sofa, looked at Kimura Hiro, who was about to close the door, and asked anxiously.

The tone was so urgent that Kimura Hiroshi didn't react immediately and replied, "Ah, I was going to buy some barbecue supplies. I made plans with Ms. Noriko and the others to have a barbecue party here tonight. I saw you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't wake you up."

Hearing his voice, Nakamori Akina, who was on the sofa, looked a little better. She quickly put on her shoes, then rushed to Kimura Hiroshi's side, grabbed his arm, and said, "I want to go too, Hiroshi-kun, you can't shake me off."

"What are you talking about?" Kimura Hiroshi thought to himself, grabbing Nakamori Akina's hand and saying, "Okay, let's go together. Who said I was going to leave you behind? Honestly."

After closing the villa door, Kimura Hiroshi let Nakamori Akina put her arm around him, and the two of them went to the supermarket together to buy some barbecue supplies. However, on the way, Kimura Hiroshi noticed that Nakamori Akina was holding his arm with unusual force.

"What's wrong, Akina? Why are you hugging me so tightly? Are you afraid I'll run away?" Kimura Hiroshi asked, somewhat amused.

Unexpectedly, Nakamori Akina looked at him and nodded solemnly, saying, "Yes, Hiro-kun is right. I was afraid you would run away. I fell asleep just now, and I don't know what happened, but I felt like Hiro-kun was calling me, but I was so dizzy that I didn't respond. Then Hiro-kun turned around and left. I wanted to call you, but you didn't respond. Suddenly I woke up and saw Hiro-kun at the door, ready to leave. It feels like the dream was real, and I'm still a little scared."

Sensing Nakamori Akina's fear, Kimura Hiroshi scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. He was to blame for this. When a person is half-asleep and half-awake, if they are stimulated by certain external factors, they will be in a very mysterious state, dreaming but feeling very real, as if it really happened. Just like Nakamori Akina at this moment, some people call it a nightmare.

"Um, Akina might not be dreaming. I was thinking that if I went out, I should call you, but after calling twice, I saw that you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't call anymore. That's why Akina felt that I was calling you in her dream, and then she didn't respond. I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have called you when you were sleeping," Kimura Hiroshi said apologetically.

Nakamori Akina, who knew what had happened, was stunned. She stood there looking at Kimura Hiroshi, then suddenly reached out and gently punched him, saying, "Hiroshi-kun, if you want to wake me up, just wake me up. You woke me up and then left me half asleep, which is why I had that nightmare. You absolutely can't do that again. You have no idea how scared I am when I find out that you're ignoring me."

Hiroshi Kimura was well aware of his importance in Akina Nakamori's heart, so he continued to apologize, saying, "I'm so sorry, I promise I won't do it again. If Akina falls asleep and I can't wake you up, I'll give you two big kisses so you can dream about me kissing you, and then you won't be scared."

She had felt apologetic at first, but her words were becoming increasingly inappropriate. Nakamori Akina couldn't help but laugh and said, "I don't want you to kiss me. Just push me a couple of times and I'll wake up. Humph, kissing me while I'm asleep is absolutely not allowed. It can only be done when I'm awake, because I can't feel it when I'm asleep."

"Really? I'll try it next time and see if I really can't feel it." Kimura Hiroshi really intended to try it to see if he couldn't feel it while asleep.

After some lighthearted banter, Akina Nakamori's mood improved. The two walked to a nearby car rental shop, rented a car, and drove towards the largest supermarket in the area. There was no other way; in the America area, you had to drive to buy things, otherwise, carrying things would be enough to make you feel like you were in agony.

Shopping is also one of Akina Nakamori's favorite activities. In the supermarket, she is like a busy little bee, quickly searching for the pollen she needs. This time, she is buying all kinds of barbecue materials, such as charcoal, barbecue grills, various ingredients, seasonings, and the like.

It has to be said that women are indeed amazingly talented when it comes to shopping. They need to buy everything on the spot. Nakamori Akina actually bought everything she needed in just over half an hour. She can always find what she needs very accurately. Kimura Hiroshi is truly amazing.

After shopping, they drove back to the villa with the items. The ingredients still needed to be marinated and processed, which was naturally left to Kimura Hiroshi. While Nakamori Akina was very good at making everyday dishes, she was really not good at grilling.

Seeing how smoothly and quickly Kimura Hiroshi processed the various ingredients, turning them into small skewers, Nakamori Akina looked at him with admiration and praised him profusely, marveling at how amazing her Hiro-kun was.

When they had almost finished preparing the ingredients, Ms. Noriko and Ms. Michiko arrived and entered the villa. The two of them looked around, clearly full of curiosity about the villa.

Upon arriving in the living room, they saw the various ingredients that Kimura Hiroshi had prepared. The two of them felt a little embarrassed, and Ms. Noriko said, "We are really sorry. We didn't expect that Kimura-san and Akina-chan had already prepared the ingredients. We originally wanted to come and help, but we are a little late."

"Yes, it's only a little past five o'clock. I thought I was early, but I didn't expect to be late," Michiko said, somewhat embarrassed.

Without blaming the two, Akina Nakamori said with a smile, "Hiro-kun said that the ingredients for barbecue need to be prepared and marinated in advance so that they taste better, so it's okay that Ms. Noriko and Ms. Michiko are late."

"Oh, is that so? We didn't know how to prepare barbecue. So you need to marinate it in advance. Ah, no wonder Kimura-san's food is so delicious. He knew all this!" Ms. Noriko said in surprise, clearly someone who didn't know how to make barbecue.

"Yes, that's for sure. Hiro-kun is definitely capable of being a great chef." Nakamori Akina thoroughly enjoyed the compliments others gave to Kimura Hiro, as if praising Kimura Hiro was praising her.

Kimura Hiroshi was somewhat exasperated by his fiancée's unreserved acceptance of compliments. To prevent them from continuing their mutual flattery, he said, "Alright, the ingredients are all ready. We just need to start barbecuing once everyone arrives. Ms. Noriko and Ms. Michiko are visiting our villa for the first time, so Akina, please show them around."

"Ah, okay, Ms. Noriko, Ms. Michiko, let's take a tour together. If we stay out too late tonight, we can stay overnight," Akina Nakamori said cheerfully.

Then he led the two on a tour of the villa, while Kimura Hiroshi rested downstairs and kept an eye on the pickled ingredients to prevent any animals from smelling the aroma and stealing what he had worked so hard to make.

Around 6 o'clock, the camera crew arrived, and the barbecue party officially began. Everyone present was a staff member of Ken-On. They had all heard that Kimura Hiroshi was a good cook, and that he was quite good at it. They originally thought it was just a publicity stunt by the agency to create a persona, but they didn't expect it to be true. Kimura Hiroshi demonstrated his barbecue skills in front of them.

Everyone who tasted it was amazed, because the flavor was indeed excellent. They never imagined that a top male celebrity like Kimura Hiroshi could make such delicious barbecue. Naturally, they couldn't help but praise Kimura Hiroshi, making him a little embarrassed.

Nakamori Akina, on the other hand, happily accepted everyone's praise of Kimura Hiroshi. She was genuinely happy every time someone praised her. In the end, Kimura Hiroshi had to remind Nakamori Akina to watch her smile, as smiling too happily wasn't a good thing.

After enjoying some barbecue and drinks, Kimura Hiroshi pulled out two games from later generations and played them, making everyone present happy with both the food and the games.

Chapter 609 Too lazy to deal with it

After two days of rest, and with the special arrangements made by Kimura Hiroshi, everyone had a great time in Hawaii. This made the atmosphere on set during the wedding photoshoot even better. Everyone offered various suggestions to make the wedding photos look good, as a way of expressing their gratitude for Kimura Hiroshi's hospitality over the past two days.

After three more days of filming and playing, the Hawaii trip came to an end. The group then flew to Barcelona in Europe, which was the place that Akina Nakamori wanted to visit. Hiroshi Kimura agreed without hesitation. As for why Akina Nakamori wanted to come, Hiroshi Kimura asked her several times, and Akina Nakamori's answer was always that she didn't know, she just wanted to come.

None of them knew much about the city, nor what the local wedding photos were like. So the group took the initiative, chatting with locals as they explored, asking them what wedding photos were like there. Surprisingly, they found it quite helpful, which made their photoshoot in Barcelona much smoother.

Of course, they didn't just take wedding photos; they would also occasionally send a couple of photos back to Japan to feed the media that spoke well of Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina, thus profiting from the popularity of their wedding.

The photos sent back weren't just wedding photos; there were also pictures of the group having fun. The media outlets were quite considerate, writing very touching stories about Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina taking wedding photos all over the world and traveling around with their filming crew.

This also made readers unable to put the book down. The news of Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina's marriage was already attracting a lot of attention, but they didn't expect that the two would actually go around the world to take wedding photos. What a romantic thing that is! Most young people yearn for it, not to mention those who are preparing for their wedding, who are all making plans.

People in Japan, currently living under a bubble economy, seem to have no regard for the cost of traveling around the world. They see others doing it, so they want to do it too.

Some people also saw Kimura Hiroshi's generosity in these reports. It should be noted that Kimura Hiroshi covered all the expenses for the people involved in the filming trip around the world, which is something not everyone can do.

In short, the marriage of Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori was like a TV drama, continuously featured in the media and keeping everyone entertained. The couple gained popularity, the audience enjoyed watching, and the media achieved sales—a win-win-win situation.

However, some people were unhappy, namely other media outlets that couldn't get any information. They could only watch helplessly. It wasn't that they didn't want to get involved; some even wanted to reconcile with Kimura Hiroshi. But by this time, Kimura Hiroshi had no intention of doing so. Their attempts to reconcile were met with no response. Kimura Hiroshi was too lazy to get entangled with these media outlets.

Not only that, Hiroshi Kimura rubbed salt into their wounds. After finishing filming in Barcelona, ​​Kimura, along with Akina Nakamori and the other members, flew back to Japan. In the VIP lounge at the airport, they gave interviews to some media outlets, recounting their experiences filming overseas.

This is Kimura Hiroshi's first media interview since his marriage was exposed, and it's easy to imagine that the media attention will explode again. However, these media outlets can see it but can't benefit from it at all. They hate Kimura Hiroshi with a passion and constantly make sarcastic remarks about him in their own media.

"Kimura-san, during the time you were filming in Europe and America, the Japanese media weren't all saying good things about you. Some of them were practically seething with hatred for you. Look at these media outlets, every single one of them is saying bad things about you. They're saying that you've been giving so much coverage to your wedding, deliberately taking up space for other celebrities. They're really annoying people."

Back in familiar Tokyo, after a night's rest, Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori were ready to get back to work the next day. Kimura was mainly focused on promoting their new movie, while Nakamori was preparing for their March tour.

As soon as he returned to the agency, Yukio Tomioka brought over all the latest entertainment newspapers and magazines and presented them to Hiroshi Kimura, asking him to take a look at the recent media trends.

Picking up the newspapers and magazines, Hiroshi Kimura glanced at them casually and said, "These guys haven't changed at all. They've always been the same, without any originality. Let them talk. They must be very unhappy not getting the traffic they want, so what's a few bad words? Just like before, I don't want to pay attention to them anymore."

Unexpectedly, Kimura Hiroshi remained completely unmoved. Tomioka Yukio said, "So, we'll just let them do it?"

"Yes, what else can I do? I'm too lazy to deal with them anymore, Mr. Tomioka. To tell you the truth, after I get married, I will shift my focus to my company. As for artists, I'm afraid I'll only sing some songs occasionally and act in some movies or TV series that I write myself. So I don't want to pretend with these really annoying guys anymore."

When taking his wedding photos, Hiroshi Kimura had already decided that his identity as an entertainer would be the last priority. He would sing, act in some movies and TV series that he wrote himself, and that would be it. He planned to completely give up on his image in the media and let people say whatever they wanted.

The media outlets he's still communicating with are because he made a promise to them beforehand, and he can't just give up halfway. Once the wedding is over, he plans to hand over these media outlets to Yoshiro Hosono to maintain, as Stardust Media will need their publicity even more at that time.

With the foundation he laid, future collaborations between Stardust Media and these media outlets shouldn't be too difficult, since personal connections are also important in Japan.

Since that's what they've said, what could Yukio Tomioka say? He could only sigh and say, "Alright, since Kimura-san has made up his mind, then so be it."

After discussing the media matters, they didn't stay in the office for long. They took two assistants and rushed to the TV station to promote their new movie. The recording ended at 5 p.m.

Kimura Hiroshi's workday was over, and he didn't even have dinner with Tomioka Yukio and the others. Kimura Hiroshi drove back to his apartment alone, only to find that Nakamori Akina had already returned.

She was wearing pajamas, her hair simply tied in a ponytail, and those incredibly ugly black-rimmed glasses. She sat on the sofa, staring at a camera and grinning foolishly, completely oblivious to Kimura Hiroshi opening the door and coming in.

"Ah, Hiro-kun is back. It's only six o'clock. Did you finish work so early today?" Nakamori Akina was taken aback when she saw Kimura Hiro, and then asked.

After putting down his bag and taking off his coat, Kimura Hiroshi sat down next to Nakamori Akina and naturally put his arm around her shoulder, saying, "I just recorded a program, and then nothing else happened, so I came straight back. Akina, why are you back so early, and you even came straight to my apartment?"

Nakamori Akina leaned closer to Kimura Hiroshi and replied, "The first rehearsal for today's tour is at the Budokan, which is just a quick rehearsal. Yoko-chan is having a concert there tonight, so there isn't much time for me to rehearse, and that's why I came back early."

"Oh, is that so? Then why didn't Akina stay to watch Yoko-chan's concert? I heard she's going to change her focus and concentrate on her acting career, so it'll probably be hard to see her perform in concerts again," Kimura Hiroshi asked curiously.

After two years of popularity, Yoko Minamino's popularity began to decline at the end of last year. She seemed to have sensed something and announced that she would focus her energy on her acting career while her popularity was still at its peak. In other words, she wanted to shed her idol identity and become an actress, which meant that she would have fewer and fewer opportunities to perform at concerts in the future.

Nakamori Akina nuzzled her head against Kimura Hiroshi and said, "If you want to hear Yoko-chan sing in the future, I'll just ask her. I came back because there's something more important, which is choosing our wedding photos. Ozawa-san asked me which photos I needed to choose, so I rushed back to pick them out. Perfect timing, Hiro-kun is back, so we've chosen them together."
