My daily life with the original diva

"Okay, President, remember to give us a generous gift. You know how expensive weddings are, so we won't complain about giving too much money." Kimura Hiroshi said shamelessly.

Hanami Kagami's face darkened. He thought that Kimura Hiroshi was so rich, yet he still coveted his small amount of money. That was really shameless of him.

Chapter 622 Just Dancing

When sending wedding invitations, it's impossible to send them only to Hanami Kagami. Others include Kimura Hiroshi's manager, Tomioka Yukio, assistant Michiko, Nakamori Akina's manager Akiyuki Yoshizawa and assistant Noriko, as well as Sakai Noriko and several close makeup artists and other staff members.

In addition to the agency, Warner Music also needs to send out several invitations, mainly to Warner's senior executives. This is just a polite gesture; whether they come or not is irrelevant.

By the time Kimura Hiroshi had delivered almost all the invitations and returned, Nakamori Akina's makeup selection was also finished. She and several makeup artists familiar with Kenon spent four or five hours working on their faces and finally settled on their makeup.

When Kimura Hiro returned, she had deliberately left her makeup on. Upon seeing Kimura Hiro, she immediately flashed a standard smile and asked, "Do I look good, Hiro-kun?"

Kimura Hiroshi didn't actually know much about women's makeup, but he could tell whether it looked good or not. At this moment, Nakamori Akina looked very beautiful. Her face had a slightly aloof, cold beauty feel, but in order to match the festive atmosphere of the wedding, she deliberately made up her bright eyebrows and white teeth, which made her whole temperament quite different and gave people a more radiant feeling.

After carefully examining the makeup, Kimura Hiroshi gave a thumbs up and said, "Akina is truly amazing. She looks absolutely stunning, and the makeup is perfect for a wedding. She looks gorgeous. Thank you all for choosing such a beautiful look for Akina."

This praise was so sincere that Nakamori Akina knew that Kimura Hiroshi wasn't just flattering her, but genuinely thought it looked good. Her mood improved even more, and she said, "Hehe, I'm glad Hiroshi likes it. I'll use this makeup on my wedding day, and I'll have to trouble the others to do my makeup then."

The makeup was finalized, and everything went very smoothly. The two of them didn't stay at the agency for too long, as it was already evening and they had to leave.

Instead of going home for dinner, the two chose to eat out. After all, they had been very busy these past few days and hadn't felt like cooking, so eating out was the best option.

We chose a pufferfish hot pot restaurant and booked a small private room for the two of us, ready to savor the delicious pufferfish. The weather isn't hot yet, but it will be unbearable to eat hot pot when it gets hot.

Japanese people also know how delicious pufferfish is. Like the people of Kimura Hiroko's country, they used to risk their lives to eat pufferfish, especially the people of Osaka. They really risked their lives to eat pufferfish. This restaurant is also run by people from Osaka.

However, modern pufferfish are not the terrifyingly poisonous wild pufferfish of the past, but rather those from farms. Their toxicity is relatively low, concentrated in the internal organs, so there is no risk of poisoning if eaten in a reputable restaurant. The key is to avoid eating the pufferfish liver, which is a favorite among Japanese people. For example, when Kimura Hiroshi ordered the most expensive tiger pufferfish, he requested neither the roe nor the liver, leaving the waiter somewhat puzzled. Why would he not want the delicious liver and roe when he ordered such an expensive fish?

Nakamori Akina, however, understood Kimura Hiroshi's thoughts quite well. She knew that although her future husband was a very brave person, he would not easily take risks, especially in small matters, such as situations that might lead to food poisoning.

After the waiter left, Nakamori Akina couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Hiro-kun is really cautious. I saw a lot of people eating fish liver and fish roe when I passed through the lobby just now. Such delicious things, but Hiro-kun didn't want them. Isn't he being a little too cautious?"

"Of course! I'm so rich now, and I have such a beautiful wife. If I'm careful, I can live for another fifty or sixty years. So I certainly can't be careless about my life in this kind of thing. I'm looking forward to growing old with Akina," Kimura Hiroshi said quite naturally.

These words almost melted Nakamori Akina's heart, because they were such powerful love confessions. Nakamori Akina's gaze towards Kimura Hiroshi became sticky, as if she couldn't bear to look away.

"So cheesy, you have to say such sweet words to coax me even when we're having a meal." Although she enjoyed Kimura Hiroshi's sweet words and even couldn't help but want to hold Kimura Hiroshi's hand, she still had to say something in return.

Naturally, Hiroshi Kimura knew exactly what Akina Nakamori was thinking. He said, "That's because Akina is so charming that she would say such things so easily."

Nakamori Akina stopped talking and just started laughing foolishly.

“However, while pufferfish is delicious, I also know of another food that is both delicious and dangerous. When I have the chance, I’ll take you to the country across the sea. There’s a place there where the mushrooms are very delicious, but there are also some risks involved. However, it should be safer in a proper restaurant,” Kimura Hiroshi said.

Upon hearing about such a place, Nakamori Akina was immediately intrigued and asked, "Really? If I have the chance, I definitely want to go and try it with Hiro-kun. Hehe, let's see if the mushrooms there are really as delicious as Hiro-kun said."

"Yes, yes, I'll definitely take you there if we have the chance. There are other fun places we can try too." Kimura Hiroshi was naturally happy to take Nakamori Akina to experience them.

Before long, the pufferfish hot pot was served. The broth was mainly made from pufferfish bones, and the milky white soup was bubbling away, looking very appealing. As for the fish meat, it was cut into slices, which would be dipped into the broth and eaten, just like dipping beef or lamb.

To be honest, the taste of something that makes people desperate to try it is truly unique. For people in ancient times who rarely had the opportunity to savor fresh flavors, it was an irresistible temptation. But now, while it tastes delicious, it's not to the point where people would go to great lengths to try it, though the taste is indeed very good.

Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina devoured the two large tiger pufferfish. Because Kimura Hiroshi mentioned the deliciousness of mushrooms, Nakamori Akina ordered two servings of mushrooms to try. This combination made the flavor even better, and Nakamori Akina's eyes widened as she ate. She was even already planning with Kimura Hiroshi how to enjoy the delicious mushrooms later.

After filling their stomachs, the two didn't rush to leave. Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina got down to business, which was how to send the invitations to Nakamori Akina's side. The problem arose mainly because of whether or not to send them to her father and brother.

Although bringing up such matters at this time might be a bit of a mood killer, with the wedding date approaching, this issue always needs to be addressed, and it won't simply disappear no matter where it is.

This left Akina Nakamori at a loss. She sat there without answering, seemingly lost in thought, clearly in a state of deep turmoil.

Seeing Akina Nakamori's expression, Hiroshi Kimura took her hand and said, "Since Akina is hesitant, it means she wants them to come. In that case, let's invite them. After all, they are your family. If they're not there at the wedding, the wedding just won't feel perfect."

Knowing that Kimura Hiroshi was thinking of her, Nakamori Akina was also full of worries. She stammered, "But what if they cause trouble at the wedding? If that happens, it will cause Hiroshi a lot of trouble and make everyone unhappy."

With a smile, Hiroshi Kimura said, "So what? This is my wedding with Akina. Even if something unexpected happens at the wedding, it's still our wedding. I'm not afraid of any trouble or unhappiness. I'm happy to be able to marry Akina. So it's decided then. Send them a wedding invitation."

Seeing Kimura Hiroshi's reaction, Nakamori Akina forced a smile and said, "Well, alright then, let them come. If they dare to do anything outrageous at the wedding, then I will no longer be their daughter."

After all, they were her father and brother, and she still hoped they would be present at her wedding. Kimura Hiroshi's insistence solidified her last bit of hesitation and let her know that Kimura Hiroshi had considered everything for her.

What Nakamori Akina didn't know was that Kimura Hiroshi had sent them because he was confident that even if Nakamori Akina's father and brother came, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble. These two were bullies who preyed on the weak and liked to take advantage of others. Kimura Hiroshi's current status was obvious. He would send two people to keep an eye on them, and just by watching them, they would probably be scared and wouldn't dare to make any small moves.

Having confirmed this, Nakamori Akina was overjoyed. She was incredibly excited, and her laughter became very loud. If Kimura Hiroshi hadn't been certain that he was alright, he might have even suspected that there was something wrong with the pufferfish, and that Nakamori Akina had become so excited after eating it.

Seeing how excited she was, Kimura Hiroshi didn't dare to stay in the restaurant any longer. He was afraid that Nakamori Akina's distinctive laughter would be heard by people outside the private room, who would know they were there and cause some kind of incident. That would be troublesome. So he decisively pulled Nakamori Akina away from the restaurant and drove back to the apartment.

However, when Nakamori Akina saw the route back, she looked at Kimura Hiro and said, "Hiro-kun, we're getting married tomorrow, so I don't want to go back to the apartment. Can I go to our new house instead? That's where we'll live from now on."

Seeing her like this, Kimura Hiroshi could only nod and say, "Alright, then let's go over there to rest. In another half month, we'll all be staying there, and Akina won't have to ask me where she's staying anymore."

"Ah, yes, hehe, it makes me so happy just thinking about it. I finally have my own home in Tokyo, instead of renting an apartment. I'm so happy just thinking about it now." Nakamori Akina seemed incredibly happy.

It's not that they can't afford to buy; they've been renting apartments purely for convenience. If reporters discover their residence, they can easily change where they live. But if you buy a house, you're stuck there, and avoiding reporters isn't so easy, since selling a house isn't a simple matter.

Seeing Nakamori Akina's excitement, Kimura Hiro naturally nodded in agreement. He agreed with whatever she said. Then, Nakamori Akina started singing in the car. She sang none other than his songs, but she sang them rather poorly. It was completely improvisational, without any technique whatsoever.

When Kimura Hiroshi finally got back to the new house, he found that Nakamori Akina's excitement hadn't stopped at all. She was humming songs and busy arranging things in the new house. She felt that there were a few things that were not placed to her liking and wanted to change them.

This made Kimura Hiroshi worry. He grabbed the agitated Nakamori Akina and asked, "Akina, are you alright? You seem a bit off today, too excited. Is there something wrong with the pufferfish we ate? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

Unexpectedly, Nakamori Akina cupped his face in her hands and said with a grin, "No, what are you worried about, Hiro-kun? If I wasn't feeling well, I would definitely tell you. The reason I'm so excited right now is because I'm happy. Tomorrow, Hiro-kun and I are going to register as husband and wife. How could I not be happy?"

"Is that really the case?" Kimura Hiroshi asked, still somewhat uncertain. Is it really because he's happy that he's like this? Isn't that a bit strange?

“Yes, I feel very energetic when I’m happy, so Hiro-kun doesn’t need to worry,” Nakamori Akina said with certainty.

Then she had to continue organizing her things. According to Nakamori Akina, she was about to move in permanently, so naturally she needed to make some good adjustments. Otherwise, if she had to make adjustments later, it would have been a waste of energy. It was better to get it done now.

Seeing her excited state, Kimura Hiroshi was still a little worried. She seemed to have too much energy, and organizing things was not enough to expend it. In that case, he would find something that could expend a lot of her energy. With that in mind, Kimura Hiroshi decided not to wait any longer.

He walked over and hugged Nakamori Akina from behind, saying, "Since Akina is so happy, let me be happy too. I know of a thing that can make two people very happy."

As he spoke, his mouth came very close to Nakamori Akina's ear, and his hot breath blew directly onto her ear.

She naturally understood what Kimura Hiroshi meant by something that would make them both happy. Her ears started to turn red, but she didn't refuse. After all, they were about to get married. But wouldn't it be a bit too unrestrained to do it in the living room?

"Can we go to the room?" Akina Nakamori asked in a voice barely audible.

But Kimura Hiroshi said with a mischievous smile, "In the living room, I want to try it out in the living room. It's spacious here and I can move around a bit."

She instinctively wanted to refuse, but Kimura Hiroshi didn't seem to have any intention of refusing her at all. He suddenly ran away, turned on the stereo, and Ishii Akemi's song "Cha Cha Cha" came out. Then he said, "Come on, Akina, let's dance. That way we'll burn off our energy faster."

Dancing? Nakamori Akina was at a loss for words. She was already prepared to agree to some of Kimura Hiroshi's outrageous requests, but she never expected that Kimura Hiroshi would ask her to dance. How to describe this feeling? This feeling was very strange for Nakamori Akina.

"What's wrong? Akina seems disappointed. Did you think of something else? If Akina wants to do something else, I don't mind. Shall I put on some soft music to lighten the mood?" Kimura Hiroshi said with a mischievous smile.

"No way, I want to dance." Nakamori Akina said, seemingly in a fit of pique.

Chapter 623 Marriage Registration

"The newspaper says that Kimura-chan and Nakamori Akina are registering their marriage today. Do you know which ward office it's at?"

"Sigh, I don't know. The newspaper says it's today, but they probably won't announce the exact location. If that's the case, the marriage registration probably can't go through. They have so many fans, they definitely won't announce it."

Today, Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori are going to register their marriage, which is something almost everyone in Japan knows. However, very few people know exactly where they will register. There's no way around it; if the registration location were announced, the registration probably couldn't proceed, because who knows what might happen then.

Not only were ordinary citizens and fans unaware, but even the media conducting the interviews were also unaware. Kimura Hiroshi's manager, Tomioka Yukio, called them to inform them of the location when registration began, but that they would not be interviewed at the ward office entrance; they would have to wait until registration was complete before finding a place to conduct the interviews.

Naturally, these were media outlets with good relations with Hiroshi Kimura, and they understood his thoughts: he didn't want to cause too much of a commotion or affect ordinary people who were going to handle their affairs. So they weren't too dissatisfied, and they were already quite satisfied that Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori were willing to be interviewed at this time.

The marriage registration wasn't just attended by Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori; Hiroshi's father, Nobushi Kimura, and his mother, Akiko Kimura, were also there, as were Akina's mother, Chieko, and her older sister, Akie.

The families on both sides had already met before, so they weren't so distant at this time. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they got into the car under the arrangement of their assistant, Ms. Noriko. None of them needed to drive today; there was a dedicated driver for them.

Alone, Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori sat in a car. Kimura was dressed very formally today, in a sharp and tailored suit. As for Akina Nakamori, she wore a Western-style long dress with a coat, and her hair was tied up in a bun, making her look exceptionally mature.

Once in the car, Kimura Hiroshi couldn't help but grab Nakamori Akina's hand and say to her, "We're registering today, Akina. Once it's done, you won't even have a chance to back out."

Once the registration is complete, they will be legally married, and if they want to separate, they will have to go through divorce proceedings.

With a slight smile, Nakamori Akina rested her head on Kimura Hiroshi's arm. She really wanted to lean on Kimura Hiroshi's shoulder, but unfortunately she couldn't reach it, so she could only lean on Kimura Hiroshi's arm.

"I won't go back on my word. But Hong-kun, he's so popular with girls. If you register today, you'll be a husband, a married man with a wife. Aren't you afraid?" Nakamori Akina said this in a joking tone, but she was actually quite worried. In this kind of relationship, the Japanese are always much more lenient with men than women.

Don't say that male celebrities cheating is nothing nowadays. For example, when Hiromi Go was about to marry Seiko Matsuda, she brought a geisha home and didn't receive any public condemnation. Although this was one of the reasons for their breakup, the Japanese media didn't think it was a big deal and didn't even think they should break up over such a small thing.

Even in the 21st century, the social climate in Japan remains the same: if a husband cheats, the wife is expected to apologize. This is because many people believe that the wife failed in her duty, which led to the husband's infidelity, creating a bad impression and causing a lot of trouble. It's clear that even if many young women say they want three boyfriends, it doesn't actually constitute equality.

Sensing Akina Nakamori's worry, Hiroshi Kimura couldn't help but pat her head and said sincerely, "No, I won't go back on my word once I've made a decision, Akina, don't worry."

Akina Nakamori was overjoyed and rubbed against Hiroshi Kimura's arm. This sweet scene made Ms. Noriko, who was driving in front, smack her lips, as if she was muttering something.

The car quickly arrived at the ward office where they were to register. There were about a dozen people, including family members from both sides and staff who came to help. As soon as they appeared, they saw a group of reporters waiting there. They had been informed in advance and had come to wait.

Upon seeing Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori, the reporters couldn't resist rushing over to interview them, even though they had been instructed not to do so before registration was complete. After all, this was big news, and getting some exclusive information would be a huge bonus.

Unfortunately, they were unlikely to be able to conduct an interview, as Yukio Tomioka had already arranged for staff to block them from getting close. This left the reporters with no choice but to frantically take photos and videos from a distance, as these were essential materials for their return trip.

Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina, who got out of the car, naturally saw the group of reporters. This time, instead of avoiding them as before, they stopped, waved to them, and smiled. Since it was their wedding day, they naturally wanted to be happy and treated the reporters better.

This scene naturally consumed a lot of film; the reporters were really going crazy taking pictures. This is something only their media outlets can publish. If they take a lot of pictures, they can publish them for several days in a row, which means sales and money.

After greeting the reporters, the two, along with their families, walked into the ward office. At this time, it wasn't just Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina who came to the ward office to register their marriage; there were other people as well. Naturally, they all saw Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina. At first, they couldn't believe it, but when they saw the reporters and the many staff members around them, they were certain that it really was the two of them.

A chorus of exclamations erupted, with some even letting out a cry, thankfully managing to cover their mouths in time. Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina greeted the other couples who had come to register their marriage with great politeness, then followed the procedures, queuing up, submitting their documents, and waiting to be processed, just like everyone else.

However, the two of them were so famous that almost everyone present recognized them, so naturally, there was a lot of discussion about them. But there were no smartphones like those in later generations back then, otherwise, there would probably be a cacophony of camera shutters clicking. Right now, there was only a lot of discussion, which was nothing special.

While waiting, some people saw staff taking photos of Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori. They couldn't resist and wanted to take photos with them. They didn't refuse and even asked for their addresses so they could mail the photos to them later, which made them very happy.

The main thing about getting married is happiness and joy. There's no need to refuse small requests, as was the case with Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori.

Fortunately, today wasn't a particularly special day, and there weren't too many people registering for marriage, so they didn't have to wait in line for long. Soon it was Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina's turn. When they sat down, they discovered that the person in charge of registering them wasn't the young man from before, but a middle-aged man.

"Ah, I really didn't expect Kimura-san and Akina-san to come to our ward office to register. Well then, to ensure your registration goes smoothly, I'll take charge. I've worked here for almost twenty years, and I guarantee the process won't go wrong." Clearly, the middle-aged man was a long-time employee here, and seeing that it was the two of them registering, he pushed the new employee aside.

I never expected to encounter something like this, but Hiroshi Kimura couldn't say anything. After all, they said they were senior, and he personally registered them, which showed how much he valued them. What could they say?

Fortunately, the experienced staff were quick and soon confirmed that there were no problems with the marriage documents they submitted. They then began processing their marriage registration and completed the process in no time. After the stamp was affixed, Nakamori Akina officially changed her name to Kimura Akina, taking her husband's surname.

However, looking at the changes, Kimura Hiroshi felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was already used to the name Nakamori Akina and didn't plan to change it anymore; he would continue to call her that.

"Congratulations, you two have completed the marriage registration. From now on, you are husband and wife." After completing the registration, the two received their marriage certificate, marking the official change in their relationship. They smiled at each other, a feeling they would understand later. This officially represented the end of their romantic relationship and the beginning of another intimate relationship.

“From now on, I can officially call you Mrs. Kimura,” Kimura Hiroshi said with a hint of amusement.

Akina Nakamori couldn't help but smile and said, "No, it sounds better to call you Akina. I'll continue to call you Hiro-kun. That's fine."

"Oh, is that so? Well, that's not impossible. From now on, I'll continue to call you Akina. And you can't go back on your word." Kimura Hiroshi also felt that there was nothing wrong with continuing to call you Akina. He just felt that Mrs. Kimura was a little strange. If possible, he could call you Chairman's Wife, which would be a better title.

After completing their marriage registration, the employee asked them to take a photo with him. Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina did not refuse and took the photo with him. Then they went back to where their parents were waiting and showed them their marriage registration documents.

"Ah, the registration is complete. From now on, you two are a real couple. Married life is not like dating. You need to be serious and attentive, understand?" Nobushi Kimura, the father, solemnly instructed Hiroshi Kimura.
