My daily life with the original diva

This really caused an uproar in the film industry. They wanted to go there but no one wanted them, but you, on the other hand, were invited, and you're getting married and not going. There was a barrage of criticism, with accusations of lacking national honor and refusing to contribute to the film industry.

This naturally aroused the interest of the media. Many media outlets had been having a hard time with Hiroshi Kimura recently, and now that they finally had a chance to criticize him, they were not going to let it go. Several media outlets used this opportunity to launch a verbal attack on Hiroshi Kimura.

They were very vocal in their criticism, but the public didn't seem to buy it. Although Japanese people in this era do have a sense of honor, Kimura Hiroshi's achievements and glory were his own creations. Now that he's just getting married and doesn't want to go, you're going to criticize him? Is that reasonable?

Ultimately, Kimura Hiroshi is a strong man, and it's none of these people who can't get anything to say what he wants. Japanese people are naturally drawn to the strong, and their admiration for America stems from the latter's strength. Now that Kimura Hiroshi is a strong man, it's inappropriate to call him a strong man.

So this didn't cause much of a stir. Kimura Hiroshi remained silent, as if it had nothing to do with him, appearing very calm. This further highlighted his strong demeanor, showing that he disdained arguing with these useless people about unnecessary things.

Besides the movie, there's also the TV series "Tokyo Love Story." When Fuji TV first promoted it, they said it was adapted from the love story of Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori, which really piqued the curiosity of the public who were curious about their love story.

With the drama series about to air, Fuji TV released several trailers. However, as soon as the trailers were released, many viewers felt something was amiss, as if they had been misled by Fuji TV's advertising.

In the trailer, the male lead Kanji, played by Hiroshi Kimura, doesn't resemble him at all. Moreover, in the drama, Kimura deliberately makes himself look ugly. On the other hand, Akina Nakamori's Rika Akana is full of energy in the trailer, exuding the charm of a young woman, which is a pleasant surprise for many viewers.

However, this seemed to be different from what everyone expected, so some people said that Fuji TV was engaging in false advertising, which caused quite a stir. What everyone wanted to see was the love story between Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori, not a real drama. Some reporters even asked Hiroshi Kimura to confirm whether "Tokyo Love Story" was actually an adaptation of his and Akina Nakamori's love story.

In response, Hiroshi Kimura said, "Some plot points are indeed true, such as the heroine's decisiveness and courage in love. When I was with Akina, it was because she was decisive enough that I suddenly realized my mistake. Of course, the drama is not based on our love story, but it is a very good drama that shows the views on love of modern urban men and women, so I hope everyone will like it."

His answer saved Fuji TV from an awkward situation and also piqued the curiosity of many viewers, who were all looking forward to the drama's premiere.

Chapter 628 You're So Amazing

The day of the premiere of "Tokyo Love Story" has finally arrived amidst the anticipation of many curious viewers. Many viewers have already tuned in to watch the drama on Fuji TV at 9 p.m.

Naturally, Miyauchi Takesetsu, who was full of anticipation for this drama, was also very nervous. He hoped that this drama, which was likely to be the last one starring Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina, could help his drama program create a new ratings record. In this way, he could add a significant chapter to his career and it would be a great help to his future promotion.

"How's the signal? Is it normal? Is there a problem with the film?" Miyauchi Takesetsu started asking these kinds of questions that he wouldn't normally need to ask.

Compared to the tension at Miyauchi Bamboo Club, his men were relatively relaxed. To them, this was just another TV drama playing out. They had done it countless times before, so what was there to be nervous about?

"Please rest assured, Minister, everything is perfectly normal. Since the TV drama program resumed, we have never had any broadcasting accidents. This time, we conducted a pre-broadcast inspection as you requested, and there are no problems whatsoever," the subordinate reassured Miyauchi Takesetsu.

Although he was still slightly worried, Miyauchi Takesetsu knew that since the inspection had been completed without any problems, sending his subordinates to inspect it again would be pointless. So he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I understand. Go and keep an eye on it and make sure there are no problems during the broadcast."

After giving instructions to his subordinates, Miyauchi Takesetsu thought for a moment, but still couldn't resist picking up the phone on the table and calling Kimura Hiroshi. Now that he knew Kimura Hiroshi had a mobile phone, it was very convenient to contact him, so he would call Kimura Hiroshi from time to time.

At this very moment, Kimura Hiromasa and Nakamori Akina were receiving guests in their new house, namely Miyazawa Rie, who insisted on visiting their new home, and Kamachi Sachiko, who came along with them.

When Rie Miyazawa learned from Akina Nakamori that they had a new apartment to live in after their marriage, she insisted on coming to see it. Neither Hiroshi Kimura nor Akina Nakamori would refuse, so they agreed. However, before arriving, she also brought Sachiko Kamachi along, and the two of them came together.

On her first visit, Rie Miyazawa was extremely polite and, together with Akina Nakamori, presented a gift for the new house: several potted plants, and they were quite expensive ones at that. Akina Nakamori liked them very much and placed them on the balcony of the living room.

Rie Miyazawa and Sachiko Kamachi were both very envious of this upscale apartment, because it was spacious and very quiet, and it looked like a very comfortable place to live.

Seeing the two girls' envy, Kimura Hiroshi smiled and said to them, "You'll be able to afford it in the future, but it might take two years."

"Sigh, does Hiro-nii mean that Tokyo's housing prices will drop in two years? Everyone's saying that housing prices have stopped rising and might even fall in the future." Upon hearing what Kimura Hiro said, Miyazawa Rie immediately thought of housing prices falling; otherwise, how would they afford to buy a house in two years?

That's one reason, but what Kimura Hiroshi said was, "Two years from now, you'll all definitely become popular celebrities. By then, you'll definitely be able to earn enough money to buy this apartment. For example, Rie-chan, I know about your savings. Although I haven't given them to you yet, the amount is quite substantial. At least you'll have enough for the down payment. As for Sachiko-chan, well, you'll have to wait. Two years is enough time for you to become famous."

"Kimura-san really has a lot of faith in me. I have no idea what will happen after my debut." Sachiko Kamachi wasn't very confident about this. After all, so many singers debut in Japan every year, but how many of them actually become famous?

Nakamori Akina, on the other hand, was full of confidence in Kamachi Sachiko. She took Kamachi Sachiko's hand and said, "Sachiko-chan, you have to have confidence in yourself. You will definitely become popular. Cough cough, just in terms of your image, I haven't seen any newcomers who debuted this year with a better image than you. In addition, I have heard your singing voice, and it is very good. These two things alone are enough for you to become popular."

As Nakamori Akina said this, she lowered her head to examine Kamachi Sachiko's long legs in her jeans. Well, while her legs weren't as perfect as Moritaka Chisato's, they were still a pair of beautiful long legs.

When Akina Nakamori said that, Sachiko Kamachi felt a little embarrassed, but her confidence increased considerably. Since both top celebrities, Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori, had such confidence in her, there was no reason why she shouldn't have confidence either.

After saying that, Kimura Hiroshi went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for them. After all, Miyazawa Rie had been longing for his Chinese cuisine for a long time, and now that they were visiting, he naturally had to cook a meal for her, and also let Kamachi Sachiko taste it.

However, while he was cooking, Akina Nakamori would come in to help him and then go out to chat with Sachiko Kamachi and the others, so he really didn't have a moment to spare.

"Ahem, Akina, if you want to chat, you can chat with them outside. I can handle it by myself." Kimura Hiroshi couldn't help but say this as he watched Nakamori Akina constantly going in and out.

Akina Nakamori was a little embarrassed by this, and she said with a grin, "No, Hiro-kun, I'm not going out to chat anymore. I'll stay here and help you. You probably don't know this, but Sachiko-chan is too gossipy. She always asks me questions about relationships, and I really don't know how to answer them, so I came here to take refuge."

So that's how it is. Kimura Hiroya roughly knows that Kamachi Sachiko's personality is very different from the one in the legend. She actually likes to talk a lot and has a strong desire to find out about gossip, which is the case the more familiar they are with each other. Obviously, Nakamori Akina has felt this now, which is also because they are getting more and more familiar with each other.

Without asking any further questions, Akina Nakamori stayed in the kitchen to help. The two of them worked together, which made things much faster. After about an hour, dinner was a success. They brought out all the dishes, a total of six dishes and a soup. Rie Miyazawa's eyes widened in amazement. She probably hadn't expected Hiroshi Kimura to make so many dishes.

"What are you looking at? You'll only know if it's good or not after you eat it. By the way, shall we eat or have some drinks first? It's a pity that Rie-chan isn't old enough to drink alcohol legally, otherwise the rest of us could have a little drink." Kimura Hiroshi said with a hint of regret.

Of course, Nakamori Akina was even more disappointed. She said with great disappointment, "Yes, Rie-chan, grow up quickly! In two years, we can have a few drinks together."

For an alcoholic, not being able to have a few drinks with good friends is a very painful thing.

To this, Rie Miyazawa said nonchalantly, "You can drink now, Hiro-nii, Akina-neechan. When I was a few years old, my mom took me to bars. Minors weren't allowed in bars, but I was still able to go in. I drank back then, so why can't I drink now?"

"No, that was before. You can't drink now. Akina, don't be too disappointed. How about this, Rie-chan has a soft drink, and we and Sachiko-chan have two drinks?" Kimura Hiro rejected Miyazawa Rie's idea, while wanting to have two drinks with Kamachi Sachiko.

The suggestion was immediately met with strong support from Akina Nakamori, who clapped her hands and said, "Great, great! Hiro-kun's suggestion is exactly what I was thinking. How about we have a couple of drinks, Sachiko-chan?"

Sachiko Kamachi, who was already in her twenties, naturally wouldn't refuse. She nodded and said, "Sure, we can have two drinks, but only two, okay? I'm not a big drinker."

"Great, then two drinks it is." Nakamori Akina was overjoyed. Although she liked to drink, she would not force others to drink more. She would drink as much as Kamochi Sachiko said.

This made Rie Miyazawa very uncomfortable. Hiro Kimura gave her a bottle of orange juice, while they drank sake, making Rie Miyazawa stand out. She didn't want to be treated as the only child; she wanted to drink with them.

But Kimura Hiroshi had her little scheme figured out perfectly. Several times she tried to sneak a peek at the bottle, but Kimura Hiroshi caught her and snatched it away, not giving her a chance to touch it. This made Miyazawa Rie's face puff up, which amused Nakamori Akina and Kamachi Sachiko.

Even so, Rie Miyazawa ate quite a lot. Hiroshi Kimura's Chinese cuisine has been modified to suit Japanese tastes. There's no way around it; many flavors that Chinese people like aren't necessarily to the liking of Japanese people. And these modifications have made everyone feel that his cooking skills have improved a lot, so they eat even more when they eat.

With delicious food, drinks, and casual conversation about entertainment gossip, dinner lasted for over an hour. All the dishes on the table were finished, leaving only some soup and liquids. As for the drinks, Akina Nakamori drank about ten cups. If Hiroshi Kimura hadn't stopped her, who knows how much more she would have drunk.

As for Sachiko Kamachi, she also drank more than two cups. Mainly because she was having a good time chatting with Akina Nakamori, she drank a few more cups. When she drank too much, her face started to turn red. To be honest, Sachiko Kamachi, who still has a lot of flesh on her face at her age, gave people a unique and charming feeling when she drank too much, just like a ripe apple.

"It's so delicious! I must come to visit Hiro-nii's place often in the future and enjoy the delicious Chinese food he makes." Miyazawa Rie, who was very full, was determined to rely on Kimura Hiro and would come here for a free meal whenever she had the chance.

"Yes, I didn't expect Kimura-san's cooking to be so delicious. It really whets my appetite. Thank you so much for your hospitality today." In contrast, Sachiko Kamachi was much more polite and expressed her gratitude to Hiroshi Kimura.

Before Kimura Hiroshi could say anything, Nakamori Akina spoke first, seemingly quite honored, saying, "That's right, Hiroshi-kun's cooking is so delicious. If you want to come again in the future, you must come often. I welcome you."

"Hey, hey, Akina, I'm the one who made these dishes. It was really hard work for me. How could you just agree to let them come so often? I don't agree to it. Rie-chan, Sachiko-chan, don't come over so often in the future." Kimura Hiroshi expressed his disagreement. Making so many dishes was very hard work. If they came all the time, they were trying to work him to death.

Akina Nakamori, who had just had a few drinks, was truly hospitable. She said, "Oh, how can you do this, Hiro-kun? Rie-chan and Sachiko-chan are our friends. You should come more often. It's more fun when we eat and chat together."

"No, unless you cook." Kimura Hiroshi still refused.

"Please, please, Hiro-kun, you're so amazing, please do more!" Nakamori Akina began to whine.

What she said was very ambiguous; Kimura Hiroshi found it rather strange.

Sitting opposite them, Rie Miyazawa and Sachiko Kamachi watched the two of them arguing and found it quite amusing; they never expected the two of them to have this side to them.

Just as the two of them were struggling, Kimura Hiroshi's phone rang, forcing them to stop. Kimura Hiroshi answered the phone, and the voice of Miyauchi Takesatsu came from the other end.

"Kimura-san, your new drama 'Tokyo Love Story' is about to premiere. Are you planning to watch it?" Miyauchi Takesetsu asked.

Kimura Hiroshi hadn't really paid attention to the premiere today, since he'd been busy with a lot lately and hadn't had much time to focus on the new drama. But he still replied, "Ah, a new drama? I'm planning to watch it."

"That's great. Does Kimura-san have any suggestions for the new drama? When it airs, could you create some buzz like before?" Miyauchi Takesetsu made his request.

Previously, some people said that Fuji TV was engaging in false advertising, and Hiroshi Kimura had to come forward and say a few words, which increased the topic of "Tokyo Love Story" and raised its popularity to a new level. Obviously, Taketsuki Miyauchi still felt that it was not enough and hoped that Hiroshi Kimura would continue to create some topics when the drama aired.

Kimura Hiroshi felt that Miyauchi Taketsu was being too greedy. He looked at the people at home and said softly, "I'm sorry, Miyauchi-san, my wedding is about to take place, and I don't have much time. Also, I'm dealing with some things right now, so I have to hang up."

Miyauchi Takesetsu over the other end also sensed Kimura Hiroshi's refusal, so he didn't press the matter further. After exchanging a few polite words, he hung up the phone.

After the call ended, Kimura Hiroshi said, "It was the head of the drama program at Fuji TV, Miyauchi, who was talking to me about the premiere of the drama."

"Ah, the premiere of 'Tokyo Love Story,' starring Hiro-nii and Akina-nee, is today, right? Perfect timing, let's watch it together. I heard it's adapted from Hiro-nii and Akina-nee's love story, let's see how much of it is true. Wow, I just noticed, this TV is huge!" Rie Miyazawa exclaimed in amazement at the large TV in the living room.

Chapter 629 Tokyo Love Story

Unexpectedly, by the time they finished dinner, it was already 9 p.m., which was the time slot for Fuji TV's Friday night drama series. Rie Miyazawa suggested that she stay and watch TV, and Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori did not refuse.

"How about it? Our TV is really big, right? Rie-chan and Sachiko-chan can watch it without any problem. However, there's something I need to tell you beforehand: this drama has absolutely nothing to do with my love story with Hiro-kun. Those who say the script is adapted from my love story with Hiro-kun are basically unaware of my love story with Hiro-kun."

As the person involved in the relationship, Akina Nakamori knew the most about her love story with Hiro Kimura, even more clearly than Hiro Kimura himself. There's no way around it; women's memory of matters of the heart is far stronger than men's, so she couldn't help but explain.

"Oh, is that so? I thought I'd get to see some of Akina-chan and Kimura-san's love story, but it's just speculation. What a pity." After having a couple more drinks, Sachiko Kamachi's true nature seemed to be showing, expressing her disappointment at not being able to see the gossip she wanted to see.

"Haha, then Sachiko-chan will really be disappointed. How about this, when Akina and I have some free time in the future, how about we publish a book about our love story? Aren't there many people who write this kind of thing? I wonder if anyone will read ours. What do you think, Akina?" Kimura Hiroshi suddenly said with a whimsical idea.

Upon hearing this, Sachiko Kamachi and Rie Miyazawa stared at him with wide eyes, their curiosity evident. It was clear that they genuinely wanted to see what was going on.

However, this suggestion was immediately rejected by Akina Nakamori. She said, "No way. Who knows what the media will say if I write something like this? It's absolutely not allowed, Hiro-kun. Besides, I hate writing, especially so many words."

The rejection was so decisive. Kimura Hiroshi scratched the back of his head. He had only had a sudden idea. After a little thought, he knew that Nakamori Akina would definitely not agree. She had always disliked written things and had a strong desire to protect her privacy. How could she possibly write down her love experiences for others to see, not to mention the media that she hated so much?

"Ah, it's all my fault, I almost forgot. Okay, enough joking around, the TV series is about to start, let's watch TV." Kimura Hiroshi quickly changed the subject.

So the four of them abandoned the unwashed plates on the table and ran to the sofa, turned on the TV, and prepared to watch the premiere of "Tokyo Love Story".

Two minutes before nine o'clock, commercials were playing on TV, one of which featured Rie Miyazawa and was for chocolate.

"Rie-chan has been getting a lot of commercials lately. I've seen several already. Isn't that a lot of pressure?" Looking at the commercials on TV, Kimura Hiroshi thought for a moment and realized that as Miyazawa Rie became more and more popular, she seemed to be filming more and more commercials. Although this is normal for celebrities, Kimura Hiroshi was still a little worried, after all, Miyazawa Rie was his friend.

Waving her hand, Rie Miyazawa said, "It's okay, Hiro-nii. It's just shooting a commercial. It's quick for me. I can finish shooting a commercial in just one morning or afternoon. It's fast and there's no pressure."

Rie Miyazawa's acting talent seems to be innate. Whether she's acting in movies, TV dramas, or commercials, her performances are always very natural. As a result, she can film very quickly, much faster than other artists, so filming commercials is not stressful for her.

Hearing her say that, and seeing that her expression didn't seem like she was lying, Kimura Hiroshi felt relieved. If she was under too much pressure, then Kimura Hiroshi would inform Hosono Yoshiro to reduce the number of advertisements featuring Miyazawa Rie.

The commercials ended quickly, and the TV series officially began. The opening scene showed bustling streets of Tokyo, accompanied by Hiroshi Kimura's rendition of "Sudden Love," which undeniably gave it a strong urban feel.

"It's so beautiful! I've listened to so many of Kimura-san's songs, and although they are all different in style, every single one of them is of excellent quality. I really don't understand how Kimura-san manages to write so many high-quality singles." Sachiko Kamachi couldn't help but praise as she listened to the opening theme.

Her praise was strongly supported by Akina Nakamori. Before Hiro Kimura could speak, Akina Nakamori said happily, "Yes, Hiro is so smart. I wonder if his brain has been developed with special technology to write so many great singles. He's really amazing. I also want to give Hiro a big thumbs up."

After saying that, she gave Kimura Hiroshi a thumbs up, showing absolutely no humility, which made Kimura Hiroshi a little embarrassed. He wanted to say something modest, but after Nakamori Akina said that, he didn't know how to respond. He could only say, "Okay, the drama has started. Look, the male and female leads have appeared."

The drama officially begins, and right from the start, the male and female leads appear. They are dressed smartly and full of youthful energy. Akina Nakamori plays Rika Akana, who is holding a sign at the airport to greet her colleague Kanji Nagao, who is coming to Tokyo from a small town.

At the airport, seeing that everyone had disembarked but Wanji was nowhere to be seen, Rika started calling out Wanji's name right there in the airport. She wasn't shy at all, nor was she afraid of the stares from the people at the airport. She just kept calling out, "Maruko, Maruko..."

That's right, she called Wanji by the wrong name, calling him Maruko instead. This made the four people in the living room burst into laughter, because Maruko is not a man's name.

Sure enough, when he called out, Wanji saw the person who had come to pick him up. He was a little shy, so he quickly stepped forward to confirm the person's identity and his own name, and told Lixiang not to call him that anymore.

Rika didn't mean to embarrass Kanji; she just wanted to call him over, so she immediately agreed. She introduced herself warmly and generously, her face always beaming with a confident and warm smile, a stark contrast to Kanji, who seemed anxious about his future life when he first arrived in Tokyo.

"Sigh, these are two people with completely different personalities. Why do I feel like they're not a good match as soon as I see the beginning? Hiro-nii, Akina-neechan, is this drama going to be a tragedy?" Rie Miyazawa had a bad feeling as soon as she started watching. She felt that the male and female leads might not end up together.

As someone who hadn't read the script at all, yet could predict the ending just from the beginning, Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina exchanged a look of disbelief. Kimura Hiroshi didn't answer, but instead rubbed Miyazawa Rie's head and said, "Just watch the drama properly, why are you guessing the plot?"

Like Akina Nakamori, the precocious Rie Miyazawa is also very perceptive. Although she still acts like a little girl, she sees things very clearly. Hiroshi Kimura naturally knows this, but he is unwilling to ask or say more.

The story continues. Faced with Kanji's anxiety about the future, the cheerful and optimistic Reika comforts him at the airport entrance. Perhaps infected by Reika's enthusiasm, his mood improves, and he looks much more energetic.

Having successfully landed a job, Kanji started contacting his best friends and classmates in Tokyo. One was the playboy Yamagami, who was the second male lead. When he answered the phone, she was in bed with a pretty girl. The other was Rimi, the girl Kanji had a crush on. They arranged to meet at an izakaya, since they hadn't seen each other for five years since graduating high school.

On the day of the party, Kanji went to the izakaya first, and then Rimi arrived. The two were very happy. On the way to the party on the mountain, they bumped into Reika. Seeing that Reika was pretty, he took her with him. Reika did not expect to meet Kanji, so she happily went up to chat with him.
