My daily life with the original diva

However, his mother, Akiko, did not quite agree with his reasonable words, saying, "Your father is right, but young people have their own ideas. It's fine to want an easy life, but you have to plan your own lives. You can decide for yourselves how things go, and there's no need to be so serious."

"Yes, I understand, Mom and Dad." Kimura Hiroshi accepted the instruction; some things that elders say should be listened to carefully.

At this moment, Nakamori Akina, who was standing next to her, seemed to be awkward. She should have spoken up too, but she and Kimura Hiro had already registered their marriage, and she should have been calling him "Dad" and "Mom" at this time. However, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Seemingly noticing Nakamori Akina's state, her mother Akiko stepped forward, took Akina's hand, and said, "Akina will be my daughter-in-law from now on. If that brat Hiroshi bullies you, you can come and tell me. As for how you address her, you can change it after the wedding. Take your time to get used to it, Akina. You'll have two more sets of parents from now on."

“Yes, that’s right. Hiro is still young, and he’ll inevitably make mistakes. Akina, if you feel wronged in any way, you can tell us, and we’ll help you teach him a lesson,” said Nobushi Kimura, the father.

Chieko, who was also standing nearby, saw Kimura Hiroshi's parents say this, and she knew that her daughter's choice was right. This family was very harmonious, no wonder they were able to raise such an outstanding young man as Kimura Hiroshi.

"Ah, don't be so demanding of Kimura. He's a young man, and so is Akina. You should be considerate of each other and not blame each other so easily, understand?" Chieko couldn't help but instruct him.

Akina Nakamori nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I've remembered what Uncle Kimura and Aunt Akiko said. From now on, it's just me and Hiroki. We'll make the most of what we have to do and try our best to live a good life together."

After chatting for a bit more, they had said almost everything they needed to say. They didn't plan to stay at the ward office any longer, since their presence there would really interfere with their work. Many people were watching them instead of conducting business, which wasn't good.

So after finishing up, Kimura Hiroshi took Nakamori Akina's hand and said, "We've finished our business. Next, we need to talk to the reporters and let them spread the news of our marriage registration. It'll be a way of giving our fans an explanation. So, Akina, are you ready?"

"Yes, I'm ready. Hong-kun, let's go out together and do some interviews with the reporters. They've been waiting for us for so long, it's a little embarrassing to keep them waiting any longer." Nakamori Akina nodded in reply. She wasn't afraid of the reporters now; after all, they were already married, what was there to be afraid of?

Chapter 624 Interview

Although Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina didn't spend much time inside the ward office registering their marriage, the reporters waiting outside were already like ants on a hot plate, not wanting to wait even a second longer. If they weren't worried that going in to take pictures might anger Kimura Hiroshi, they would have rushed in long ago, not caring about anything else.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long. Kimura Hiroshi, Nakamori Akina, and their families all came out, and everyone looked very happy. Based on this scene alone, the reporters were basically certain that the marriage registration of these two top celebrities had gone very smoothly, and they had probably already registered as husband and wife.

A group of reporters immediately rushed forward to conduct interviews, but they were stopped. They couldn't block the door. Kimura Hiroshi seemed to know that the reporters had been waiting for a long time, so he beckoned them to a nearby open space. There, the staff did not stop them and allowed them to conduct interviews, but the interviewees could only be him and Nakamori Akina.

As for their families, they naturally couldn't be interviewed. Firstly, they lacked experience in this area and might say the wrong thing. Secondly, appearing on television and in newspapers isn't necessarily a good thing. For the sake of protection, Kimura Hiroshi had his staff put them in the car first, and then he and Nakamori Akina stayed behind to give the interview.

Gone was the stiffness they had shown during previous interviews; both Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori were all smiles, just like when they announced their marriage. The reporters' flashes were practically free, snapping away at the couple.

"Now you can ask questions and conduct interviews. Please be considerate and don't ask too many personal questions. Thank you," Yukio Tomioka said, indicating that the interviews could begin.

Now the reporters couldn't hold back any longer and started asking questions one after another. The first question was, "Kimura-san, have you and Akina-chan completed your marriage registration?"

"Yes, Akina and I have completed our marriage registration, so from today onwards, we are officially husband and wife. If you don't know how to address her in the future, you can call her Mrs. Kimura. Of course, my current role is still the chairman of both companies, so it's also fine for you to call her the chairman's wife." Kimura Hiroshi joked in a good mood.

This immediately drew laughter from the reporters. They rarely saw Hiroshi Kimura be so amiable. Even when he was being interviewed before, he was always very polite. They had never seen him joke with them like this before, which showed that he was really happy about his marriage.

Akina Nakamori laughed along, but still said to the reporters, "You can call me Akina or Mrs. Kimura from now on, but please don't call me 'Chairman's Wife'. I'm still very young, and that title sounds very old-fashioned."

Unexpectedly, Akina Nakamori would joke around at this time. This is truly the first time. The reporters have never seen anything like it before. It's true that getting married changes a person. Perhaps she is genuinely happy about getting married, which is why she has become much more lively.

After learning that the two had completed their marriage registration, reporters began to ask other questions, such as when they would get married, what kind of wedding they would have, what their plans were after marriage, whether they planned to have children, and whether they would continue to sing and act. Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina answered all these questions without hiding anything.

In short, although the reporters had a lot of questions, they were all very normal and peaceful, and the atmosphere of the interview was very good. Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina even chatted with some familiar reporters, asking them if they would attend the coverage of their wedding, etc. The interview lasted for more than half an hour, and it was only when the reporters had asked enough questions that the interview came to an end.

This interview was absolutely perfect. The reporters asked them what they wanted to know, and Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori also used the reporters to explain their marriage to their fans and the public.

After the interview, the reporters didn't linger. After filming Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina getting into the car and waving goodbye, they stopped filming. The footage and interviews they gathered today were enough for their reports over the next few days. They figured that this much material would keep the buzz going until their wedding, when the hype surrounding Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina's wedding would reach its peak, its final height.

On the way out in the car, once the windows were closed, Akina Nakamori breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "This is the first time I've had such a pleasant time with reporters. I really have to thank Hiro-kun for giving me such a unique experience."

"Haha, although many reporters are difficult to deal with, some are quite easy to get along with. From now on, Akina doesn't need to pay attention to those difficult ones. As for the easy-going ones, answering a few questions won't be a problem." Kimura Hiroshi said happily, putting his arm around Nakamori Akina's shoulder.

If Nakamori Akina significantly reduces her entertainment work after they get married, she will have fewer opportunities to come into contact with reporters, which should reduce the trouble of dealing with reporters.

“Yes, I know, Hiro-kun. I’ve made a note of all the reporters who came to interview us today. If we run into them again, it won’t be a problem to ask them a few questions.” Nakamori Akina replied happily.

“Of course, that’s fine. Alright, we’ve completed our marriage registration today, so how about we celebrate with our families and have a big meal? The staff can come too,” Kimura Hiroshi said.

Akina Nakamori naturally gave her full support, so she agreed without hesitation. The convoy then headed towards a high-end izakaya near their residence, where the two families, along with the staff from that day, enjoyed a feast together.

After dinner, Nakamori Akira chatted alone with her mother, Chieko, for a while, and then returned home very happily. Seeing her like this, Kimura Hiroshi couldn't help but ask, "How did it go? Did you send the invitations?"

"Yes, I've already given the invitation to my mother and asked her to pass it on. I think there shouldn't be any problems." Nakamori Akina seemed relieved.

The two people were talking about sending an invitation to Nakamori Akina's father. Naturally, she didn't want to deliver it herself, so she asked her mother, Chieko, to convey the message. Chieko agreed, so there was no problem. The invitation was sent, and whether they came or not was up to them. Nakamori Akina didn't seem to think it mattered much if they didn't want to come.

After dinner, the group went out to play until evening, then had another meal, which marked the end of the lively day. Everyone, including the staff and their families, went home, leaving only Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori in the new house.

After a busy day, the two were quite tired. When they got home, they leaned on the sofa to rest. Kimura Hiroshi was watching TV, while Nakamori Akina was looking through their marriage registration documents. She was in a very good mood and even started humming a song to herself. She didn't even pay much attention to the TV programs she liked.

"Akina, are you that optimistic? Aren't all the documents the same? Is there something special about ours?" Seeing how carefully Nakamori Akina was examining her documents, Kimura Hiroshi lowered his head and asked with amusement.

Nodding, Nakamori Akina said with absolute certainty, "Yes, these two documents are very special because they are my and Hiro's marriage certificate. Although they are the same as other people's, they are special because of our relationship."

"That's really true," Kimura Hiroshi said, patting Nakamori Akina's bun. "Akina is right. It's special because it's for both of us. I didn't even notice that."

"Hmph, this is Hiro's mistake, you'd better remember that in the future." Nakamori Akina couldn't help but tap Kimura Hiro's chest and said, as if to scold him for not paying attention.

Grabbing Akina Nakamori's hand, Hiroshi Kimura said, "Yes, yes, it was my mistake. I'll remember it and be more careful in the future. But if I can't do it, Akina, please remind me. Don't be like those women in movies and TV dramas who secretly get angry."

"I wouldn't. Don't you know, Mr. Hong, that I'm not one to mince words with many staff members? I'm very direct. I wouldn't secretly get angry; I'd just say it out loud," Nakamori Akina said with certainty.

That's true. Nakamori Akina is known for being quite direct with many staff members, which is why she's rumored to be impolite. Well, in Japan, you can't just point out someone's mistake directly, otherwise it's considered impolite. You have to be tactful. Kimura Hiroshi naturally hates this kind of thing, and he's the same as Nakamori Akina in this respect.

"So it seems there's a reason we got married. At least in this respect, we're very similar," Kimura Hiroshi said with a smile. He had heard rumors from many people that he was quite straightforward, but because of his high status, people thought he had a unique personality and that he would point out problems directly and was rumored to be someone who wouldn't shirk responsibility.

Therefore, even on a single matter, Japanese people have different views on the difference in status. This shows that in this society, judging a person's worth may not be based on what they have done, but rather on their status.

"Haha, that's true. Just like what Hiro sometimes says, this is what they call a match made in heaven. We should be like that." Nakamori Akina didn't think anything of it. On the contrary, she was very happy because she and Kimura Hiro looked so alike.

Just as the two were laughing and joking, entertainment news started on TV. The host immediately mentioned that the two had registered their marriage that day. The interview had taken place that morning, and it was already being broadcast that evening.

"According to our reporter, at 9:00 AM this morning, well-known celebrities Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori completed their marriage registration, ending their six-year-long courtship and officially becoming a celebrity couple. After completing the registration, Mr. Kimura and Ms. Nakamori gave us an interview. Here is the interview content."

The TV station has always had a very good relationship with Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori, so when broadcasting the news, they didn't say anything bad about them. Instead, they presented their blessings. The report was also not distorted; they directly showed footage of the two of them being interviewed. It has to be said that in the interview footage, the two of them were incredibly happy and easygoing, and they answered questions very readily.

"Oh, the TV station released the interview so quickly, does that mean everyone will know now?" Nakamori Akina asked after watching the interview.

"Is that even a question?" Kimura Hiroshi said, putting his arm around her. "Probably. When it's published in the newspapers tomorrow morning, the whole of Japan will probably know that we've registered our marriage. We'll be getting married under the watchful eyes of all the Japanese people, which is quite a special thing, isn't it?"

“Hehe, yes, it’s a very special thing.” Nakamori Akina said, resting her head on Kimura Hiroshi’s shoulder.

On television, the broadcast about their marriage didn't end there. The host continued talking at length, clearly indicating that their marriage was a hot topic, so they wanted to talk about it more to boost ratings. After all, it wasn't just the media that wanted to capitalize on their marriage for viewership; television stations did too.

After a while, the program was almost over. Nakamori Akina stretched and said, "I'm so tired, Hiro-kun. Shouldn't we go to sleep? I'm a little tired."

Looking at the time, it was already 11 p.m. Kimura Hiroshi looked at the slightly tired Nakamori Akina and teased, "It is late, you should go to sleep. But today is the day we register our marriage. Are we just going to sleep like this? Shouldn't we celebrate a little, like doing something that only the two of us can do?"

Everyone knew what Kimura Hiroshi was thinking. These days, Kimura Hiroshi would often find strange excuses to do certain things. Nakamori Akina had seen it many times. It wasn't that she disliked it, but she wondered why Kimura Hiroshi always had to find excuses. They were already husband and wife, and he didn't need to do this.

So Nakamori Akina didn't answer, but said quite casually, "I'm going to take a shower. After I'm done, Hiro-kun, you have to blow-dry my hair."

She neither agreed nor refused directly, and showed no shyness. This behavior left Kimura Hiroshi somewhat bewildered. Was this the woman who had completed the marriage registration? Had her feelings about such things changed? Kimura Hiroshi felt a little uncomfortable.

Chapter 625 Promotional Strategies for TV Series

"Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori have completed their marriage registration, and the couple showed their newlywed bliss in an interview!"

Breaking news! Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori have completed their marriage registration and are discussing their life after marriage!

As expected, the news of Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori's marriage registration made headlines on the front page of several major entertainment media outlets the next morning, immediately sparking a wave of attention and discussion about their marriage. The newspapers that reported on the event were almost completely sold out.

The couple's successful registration yesterday has completely shattered the dark thoughts of some media outlets who hoped they would break up before marriage, repeating the Matsuda Seiko breakup incident. That's almost impossible now. Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina can only divorce, not break up.

Naturally, when the news of their marriage registration was released, it was a huge shock to both their fans and other young artists in the entertainment industry.

First, Momoe Yamaguchi chose to retire and get married at the peak of her career in the 1980s, and now Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori have chosen to get married at the peak of their careers. This can be said to be a continuous demonstration effect, and both fans and artists feel differently.

First of all, there are the fans. Today's Japanese fans are not like the extremely controlling fans of later generations, who even want to control their idols' love lives. However, the fact that Yamaguchi Momoe, Kimura Hiroshi, and Nakamori Akina got married at the peak of their careers had a huge impact on them.

You're a devoted fan, but then the person you admire gets married right when everyone is adoring them and their career is at its peak. You can imagine how that feels. There's definitely a sense of loss, and it makes them worry that their future idols might do the same. The impact isn't immediately apparent, but things might change in a few years.

It seems likely that fans will soon be interfering in their idols' personal relationships, something that neither Hiroshi Kimura nor Akina Nakamori anticipated, and certainly not something that today's celebrities could have foreseen.

The news of Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori's marriage also shocked many celebrities. In particular, the sweet conversation between the two as they talked to reporters about their marriage made many young celebrities feel that getting married at the peak of their careers was a good choice. After all, it seems that Momoe Yamaguchi and Akina Nakamori both found their place at the height of their careers.

These effects are not yet apparent and will take time to develop. Their marriage is likely to have a lasting impact.

However, that's all for the future. Some people don't have to wait that long. Amidst the news of their marriage registration, Fuji Television has already started promoting "Tokyo Love Story." They have indeed accepted Hiroshi Kimura's suggestion and said in their promotion that this drama is a reflection of the love story between Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori.

Amidst the massive buzz surrounding Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori's wedding, it's easy to imagine the level of attention "Tokyo Love Story" has garnered. The fact that the drama will air on April 10th, just a week before their wedding, only adds to the curiosity surrounding what kind of series it will be.

Unfortunately, there's very little information available about Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori's relationship so far. While the public knows they've been together for a long time, details about how they got together, when they got together, and what their relationship was like are scarcely revealed by the media.

This is truly baffling for many people. The two have been together for over six years and kept it so well-kept secret, without any hype or speculation about their relationship. It's amazing and makes people want to find out more.

But these are just thoughts; it's probably impossible to know the details, since the two are about to get married. Given their previous secrecy, their dating period is unlikely to be revealed. So, we can only watch this TV series, which is rumored to be a reflection of their relationship.

There are reasons why many people believe this propaganda. First, the TV series is adapted from Hiroshi Kimura's pure love manga "Tokyo Love Story" created a few years ago, and the script was also personally adapted by Kimura. In other words, Kimura may have incorporated his own personal experiences of love into the series.

In Japan, this situation is quite common, which is why many Japanese workplace dramas or comics are so realistic. It's because the authors personally experienced certain events and then wrote them into their works. Hiroshi Kimura is very likely to do the same now.

Not to mention that this drama is starring Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori, which makes it even more relatable for many people. Although the characters are acting, they can treat it as a real situation, making the sense of immersion very strong.

In this way, the somewhat deceptive publicity strategy can be said to have been a great success. After only two days of promotion, many calls were made to Fuji TV to inquire about the broadcast of the drama, making the drama a highly anticipated and discussed topic among the Japanese public. This was a phenomenon that had never occurred before for any other drama broadcast by Fuji TV.

This made Miyauchi Takesetsu, who was in charge of the publicity strategy, extremely proud. This was a publicity strategy he personally devised. Look how successful it is now!

Even Kimura Hiroshi, who was at work, received a call from him. He praised Kimura Hiroshi extensively on the phone, and of course, he also boasted about himself. Kimura Hiroshi responded to him very politely.

No sooner had the phone call ended than Sato Kayo brought some documents into his office for him to handle. The main documents were some preparations for the new anime collaboration with Fuji Television, specifically the one he had emphasized, "Momoko Sakura." The producer at Fuji Television was very satisfied and, after confirming the subsequent collaboration details, indicated that they could sign a contract with Wit Studio.

These things naturally needed to be confirmed by Kimura Hiroshi, so the documents were delivered to his desk. Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly that Kimura Hiroshi was naturally very happy. While signing, he said, "Ah, another money-making opportunity has fallen into my hands. It seems that I will not have to worry about money in the future and can enjoy life."

But this one comic book alone is enough to sustain Baquan Comics for decades. Even if it doesn't make a huge profit, it won't easily go bankrupt, not to mention the other comic IPs in Baquan Comics' hands.

Seeing Kimura Hiroshi's delight, Sato Kayo couldn't help but ask, "President, will this manga make a lot of money?"

Without looking up, Hiroshi Kimura replied, "Definitely, but it's still not as good as Pokémon. That's the biggest IP from the dominant manga publisher, provided the game adaptation is successful. But it's still in production, so we'll probably have to wait a few more years to see real revenue."

Now that the Pokémon game adaptation has been confirmed by Nintendo and the contract has already been signed with Pokémon, it's just that in this day and age, the production time for handheld games is really too long. The game will be completed, but the story will take more than two years to finish. In other words, we still have to wait to see big revenue. However, Hiroshi Kimura is not in a hurry; he can wait patiently.

Soon, all the documents that needed to be signed were signed. Kimura Hiroshi returned all the documents to Sato Kayo and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Kayo-chan. Please take these documents back to President Matsumoto. Oh, right, this is the wedding invitation. Akina has a lot of things to do recently and can't deliver it to you in person, so I'll give it to you on her behalf."

Taking the documents and the wedding invitation, Sato Kayo happily said, "Ah, thank you, Kimura-san. Don't worry, I will definitely be there on the wedding day. But if I'm going, please ask the chairman to give me a day off. Right now, I'm just a poor employee."

"Haha, that's no problem at all. I'll even give you three days off. Not only to attend the wedding, but I also want you to go and offer her some help before Akina's wedding. You know, even though we've already registered our marriage, some women still get inexplicably nervous before their wedding, so please go and keep her company." Kimura Hiroshi said with a hint of pleading.

Although there were no problems in his relationship with Akina Nakamori, and they were still living together, marriage was a complicated matter. Some women would feel inexplicably nervous before marriage, not because they were afraid of it, but because of psychological factors. Kimura Hiro didn't know if Akina Nakamori would be like that, so he wanted to make some preparations in advance.

I never expected that Hiroshi Kimura would even consider something like this. You know, in Japan, even the most loving couples might not notice such things. So Kayo Sato couldn't help but say, "Kimura-san is really thoughtful and kind. He even considers things like this. Okay, I understand your request. I'll go there in advance. Ah, I really can't help but envy Akina-chan."

"That would be wonderful, but Kayo-chan doesn't need to envy Akina-chan. Cough cough, I heard that Matsumoto-san is pursuing you, right?" Kimura Hiroshi suddenly asked with a hint of gossip.

There was no way around it. As the company's chairman, although many employees didn't even dare to speak in front of him, he could still hear some company gossip if he wanted to. For example, he overheard Matsumoto Takaaki pursuing Sato Kayo by chance from two employees chatting.

While the company doesn't oppose office romances, many Japanese people still have reservations about them because the unspoken rule in the workplace is that office romances can negatively impact work.

So when Sato Kayo heard Kimura Hiroshi mention this, her expression immediately tightened, and she said, "Kimura-san, President Matsumoto did express this idea to me, but I did not agree to it, so please don't worry."
