My daily life with the original diva

"Kimura-san, Akina-san, are you here to prepare for tomorrow's wedding?" While taking photos, reporters began asking them questions.

"That's not an unreasonable question," Akina Nakamori replied with a smile. "Yes, we will hold the wedding as planned tomorrow. I hope everyone will take good photos tomorrow. Please don't take ugly photos of me like you always do. After all, I hope that the newspapers will publish some nice photos of me when I get married."

This was meant as a joke, which amused the reporters, but it could also be seen as her habitual expression of dissatisfaction with them. In the past, reporters would often take pictures of her from strange angles, such as from her chin, just to make her look bad in their own newspapers.

What happened before is one thing, but now that she's getting married, she naturally doesn't want these reporters to act the same way as before. This is her final warning. If they don't give her face at her wedding, then these reporters will probably have a hard time getting any interview opportunities with her in the future. Now that she's married and wants to retire, Nakamori Akina probably won't be very polite to the reporters.

"No, Akina-san, we'll definitely take some beautiful photos of you. So, what do you want to say about the wedding?" Although it was a chance encounter, these reporters were still considerate and didn't say anything inappropriate or ask any inappropriate questions.

This made Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori not too bothered to give interviews. After all, they wanted to share their joy about getting married with everyone, even though they had already given many interviews before.

Just as they were being interviewed, the hotel realized what was happening and sent security over, seemingly to protect them from harassment by reporters. However, Kimura Hiroshi indicated that it wasn't necessary and that he would just give the interview. Unexpectedly, the interview lasted for more than half an hour, and at this moment, Koizumi Kyoko, for some reason, rushed over.

She was an important guest who came to accompany Akina Nakamori on her wedding day. She would stay at the hotel tonight to accompany Akina Nakamori, and she would also accompany her to the wedding tomorrow. However, she seemed to have arrived in a hurry. She took the company car directly to the hotel entrance, got out of the car and walked into the hotel. Unexpectedly, there were reporters at the entrance.

Upon seeing her arrive, she was naturally drawn into the interview group. The reporter asked her about her views on Akina Nakamori and Hiro Kimura's marriage, as well as her relationship status, such as whether she was dating and when she would get married. Koizumi Kyoko dodged all the questions like a tai chi master, keeping her mouth tightly shut and not revealing a single thing.

Because there was another person present, the interview lasted for an hour before it ended. Kimura Hiroshi felt his throat was almost dry from talking and he couldn't take it anymore, so he politely told the reporters that they were getting married the next day and had a lot of things to do, so he had to leave. Only then was he able to depart.

After finally entering the hotel lobby, Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori both breathed a sigh of relief. Akina Nakamori said, "Ah, this is really tiring. Aren't these reporters tired too? Hiroshi, it looks like we won't need to do any energy-consuming games today. I'm already exhausted from dealing with these reporters. I just want to rest."

"Haha, well, that's a blessing in disguise. It's just that Kyoko-chan had to be interviewed along with us, which is really a bit of a shame," Kimura Hiroshi said with a hint of apology.

“Yes, I’m sorry to have troubled Kyoko-chan. I’ll treat you to something delicious at lunchtime.” Nakamori Akina said, pulling on Koizumi Kyoko’s arm.

Koizumi Kyoko didn't seem to think anything of it. She said, "If Akina-chan wants to treat me, then I won't be polite. But I don't feel like I've been implicated at all. On the contrary, I'm the one riding on your coattails. Don't you two know how popular you are lately? I bet a lot of people would love to be interviewed with you."

That's true. The second episode of "Tokyo Love Story" aired the day before yesterday, and the viewership rating remained stable at 42%. Although it was lower than the premiere, 42% is still a pretty impressive number. It's likely that some viewers who knew it wasn't a drama adapted from the romance between Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori didn't watch it, but the remaining 42% is enough to prove the excellence of the drama.

The TV series was good, captivating, and had explosive ratings. Coupled with the huge buzz surrounding Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina's upcoming wedding, it's easy to imagine how popular the two of them were. So, at this time, many people were indeed hoping to get involved with them and attract attention.

"Is that so? Then let Kyoko-chan ride the wave of popularity to her advantage," Nakamori Akina said happily.

"Akina, you said it yourself! Ah, I really didn't expect it. You're actually getting married. I still can't quite believe it. I was so dizzy on the way here that I bumped into those reporters," Kyoko Koizumi said with a touch of emotion.

After all, they debuted around the same time and formed a deep friendship. Now that one of them is getting married, the other is bound to feel a little uncomfortable, which is quite normal.

"Haha, it'll be tomorrow! Even if Kyoko-chan doesn't believe it, it's no use." Kimura Hiroshi said smugly.

This made Kyoko Koizumi furious. She said, "Hmph, if I hadn't always spoken well of Kimura-san in front of Akina, it wouldn't have been so easy. You should be thanking me, not making me angry here. You're really despicable."

Indeed, Kyoko Koizumi spoke quite a bit in support of Hiroshi Kimura. It wasn't that she valued him highly, but rather that he was genuinely a good person, and she was happy to see him with her good friend. Otherwise, why would she have said anything good about him?

After receiving a look of confirmation from Akina Nakamori, Hiroshi Kimura quickly said with a grin, "Thank you so much, Kyoko-chan. How about this, if there's a chance in the future, I'll let you star in one of my dramas. I guarantee it will be a huge hit. Is that alright? Consider it my way of repaying Kyoko-chan."

That's more like human language. Even if she's already his wife, he still has to please her best friend. Koizumi Kyoko was a little happier and said, "Hmm, Kimura-san does know how to behave. Well, Kimura-san said it himself, so I accept it. You can't go back on your word, Kimura-san."

"Don't worry, I guarantee it won't happen," Kimura Hiroshi said with absolute certainty.

Chapter 634 The Matter of Giving Birth

Once Kimura Hiroshi and his entourage entered the hotel, they realized just how elaborate the hotel's preparations were for their wedding. The elevators and hallways were decorated with wedding decorations, flowers, and colorful ribbons.

When they arrived at the floor where the presidential suite was located, there were guards at the door. When they saw that it was them, the guards did not stop them, but if anyone else came in, they would have to repeatedly verify their identity.

Because Kimura Hiroshi stayed at the hotel for a while, he went to pick up Sato Kayo, Kamachi Sachiko, and Miyazawa Rie. Every time one of them came up, the guards would ask them to confirm whether they had been invited. In the end, Kimura Hiroshi had no choice but to let Ms. Noriko and the guards stay there to avoid having to call someone over to verify their identities.

With everyone present, the presidential suite was now quite crowded. Besides the invited friends, the rest of the guests included makeup artists, wedding planning company staff who delivered the wedding dress, and others.

There were just too many women in the room. They were all very familiar with each other, so they chatted quite lively. On the contrary, Kimura Hiroshi, a man, felt a bit out of place there.

Seeing this, Kimura Hiroshi decided not to stay any longer. He got up and went to Nakamori Akina's side, whispering to her, "Akina, I'm going back now. I'll bring a convoy to pick you up tomorrow."

The wedding is tomorrow, so naturally it will be Hiroshi Kimura who will be there with the wedding car convoy to pick everyone up. Akina Nakamori didn't try to stop them, knowing that Hiroshi Kimura still had a lot of things to do. So she happily said, "Okay, Hiroshi-kun, go back now. Remember not to oversleep tomorrow."

"How could that be? Am I really that unreliable in Akina's eyes?" Kimura Hiroshi was somewhat speechless. How could he possibly oversleep for a wedding? He would definitely get up on time.

"Haha, just trying to lighten the mood. Hiro-kun, go ahead, I have plenty of people here to help me." Nakamori Akina told Kimura Hiro to hurry back and get ready.

Without lingering, Kimura Hiroshi got up and left the presidential suite. But as he walked out of the room, Kamachi Sachiko followed him out and said, "Kimura-san, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

There were too many people in the room, so it wasn't convenient to talk. Kimura Hiroshi stopped, turned around, and asked, "What's up, Sachiko-chan?"

"Well, President Hosono has already started preparing to promote me and Maki-san, so he wants to ask Kimura-san if there's anything else we need to do?" Sachiko Kamachi asked.

So that's what happened. He and Akina Nakamori are getting married tomorrow. I guess this buzz will last for another week. After all, once the wedding is over, there's nothing more to say. Sachiko Kamachi and Maki Ohguro will debut then, which was planned beforehand.

However, as the time approached, Yoshiro Hosono was still a little uneasy. He knew that it was inconvenient for him to come and ask since he was getting married soon, so he asked Sachiko Kamachi to come and ask. It was convenient, since they were friends in private.

"Ah, what else do we need to prepare? There's really no need for any preparation. Just proceed with the promotion as planned. Sachiko-chan, don't be too nervous. Your debut is all about singing and participating in some promotional programs," Kimura Hiroshi replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this answer, Sachiko Kamachi nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll explain it to President Hosono when I get back. Sorry to bother you, Kimura-san."

"It's alright, you can go in and keep Akina company. We'll see you tomorrow." After saying that, Kimura Hiroshi turned and left. When he got to the stairwell, he chatted with Ms. Noriko for a while, saying things like "Thank you for your hard work" and "Thank you for your trouble."

After saying that, he went downstairs. When he arrived at the hotel entrance, he saw that the reporters were still waiting downstairs. As soon as he appeared, the reporters actually wanted to interview him. This was a bit too much. He had just been interviewed for almost an hour. How could they still want to interview him?

So he immediately called two security guards who were standing at the hotel entrance to escort him to his car. Amidst a crowd of reporters, he got into the car and drove away.

Only after shaking off the reporters did Kimura Hiroshi breathe a sigh of relief, muttering to himself, "These reporters are so difficult to deal with. They take advantage of the slightest kindness. If it weren't for my upcoming wedding, I would have had a good talk with you all."

With his wedding approaching, Hiroshi Kimura didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, get into a fight with the reporters, or have them publish their rants in the newspapers. He chose to be patient, since nobody wants so many media outlets criticizing them on their wedding day.

On the drive back, Kimura Hiroshi hummed a song as he drove. He was in a good mood. Tomorrow he was getting married, his first time. How could he not be happy? He just didn't know what changes life would bring after marriage, since he had never experienced married life before.

Too lazy to think about these things, Kimura Hiroshi drove quickly towards the new house. Half an hour later, he arrived at his new house and made a phone call to his family. He told them that he was getting married tomorrow, and his parents and sister would be coming with him. They would also help decorate the new house and make sure he got up on time the next morning.

"We're almost at your new apartment building. Go and get your things ready. We'll set it up for you when we get there. Also, is it alright if the wedding procession arrives on time tomorrow?" Only Mingzi's mother has a cell phone, so she's the one who answers the call.

"No problem, everything is arranged. I've also contacted the best man, he'll be here first thing tomorrow morning, Mom, don't worry." Kimura Hiroshi said with great certainty, he certainly wouldn't make any mistakes with these things.

Once everything was confirmed to be in order, Akiko quickly hung up the phone. After all, it was better to discuss things in person later. Kimura Hiro hung up the phone, took the elevator back to the new house, and then took out some things needed for the wedding. After the wedding tomorrow, he and Nakamori Akina would return to the new house, which would need some decorations to create a wedding atmosphere.

Not long after he took the things out, the doorbell rang. Kimura Hiroshi quickly went to open the door and saw his father, Kimura Nobushi, his mother, Akiko, and his sister, Kimura Ryo.

And quite unusually, all three family members had smiles on their faces. The older sister, Kimura Ryo, even handed him a gift, saying, "Here, this is a gift to congratulate my brother on his wedding. I'm giving it to you in advance so that I won't have time to give it to you tomorrow when I'm too busy."

"Oh, thank you so much, sister. I'll accept it." Kimura Hiroshi happily accepted the gift and then urged his family to come in quickly. He didn't even look at the gift, because no matter what it was, as long as he knew it was from his sister's heart, that was enough.

After entering the new house, it was inevitable to take a tour. Mom and Mingzi had visited once before, and now they brought Dad and Sister to see it together.

"It's alright. The apartment is quite big. It'll be enough for the time being if we get married, but it might be a bit small if we have more children in the future. You should prepare in advance, Ahong," said Nobushi Kimura, the father, after the tour.

Good heavens, this is a four-room apartment! It's not enough space for having children. How many children are you planning to have? Kimura Hiroshi said, "Dad, aren't four rooms enough? I'm not planning on having a lot of children."

He would naturally not refuse to have children, since Nakamori Akina loves children and has always dreamed of having her own. So even if it's just to fulfill Nakamori Akina's dream of becoming a mother, he would have to have children. However, he couldn't accept having too many children, because having too many children would take up too much of his and Nakamori Akina's energy.

Even if they hire a housekeeper, it's the same thing. After all, once a child is born, it's their child. They can't just give birth and then abandon the child. Kimura Hiroshi doesn't want to be the kind of guy who only cares about giving birth but not about raising the child. So, they can have children, but no more than two. If they have more, it will be very difficult, and he and Nakamori Akina won't be able to enjoy their lives.

“You rascal, you’re the only male in our Kimura family. It’s your responsibility to carry on the family line. What’s wrong with having a few more children? Your sister will need to have a few more when she gets married.” That’s the traditional Japanese patriarch’s tone that’s coming through in my father, Nobushi Kimura.

But Kimura Hiroshi is now independent and about to get married, so he was unwilling to listen to him. He said firmly, "No way! Why did you and Mom only have me and my sister? Why do you want me to have several more? I won't have any more, and my sister won't have any more when she gets married."

"You, you, you brat, it's all because of you!" Father Kimura Shinji said angrily.

At this moment, Mingzi, the mother, became unhappy and said, "You old man, what are you arguing about? Is your son's wedding a place for you to quarrel? Hurry up and come help hang things up. If you have the energy, then do a good job."

Then he turned to Kimura Hiroshi and said, "Your father and I didn't want to have more children because the doctor said that my health wasn't good and that I wouldn't be able to have any more children after you. Although your grandfather said the same thing, your father insisted on not having any. I didn't expect that this guy would start talking about you again now that he's old. Don't pay any attention to him."

Oh, I see. It seems that although my father, Nobushi Kimura, and mother, Akiko, were married into the same family, they still had a deep bond. Otherwise, given the circumstances of large Japanese families, even if the daughter-in-law was in poor health, she would probably still have to have children. But my father, Nobushi Kimura, withstood the pressure.

However, as this old man got older, he started to have the air of a patriarch of a large family, and the pressure was shifted onto him, which was a bit annoying. Kimura Hiroshi didn't want to deal with this guy.

When Mom Akiko spoke, it put Dad Nobushi Kimura in his place. The family started decorating the house. It was actually quite simple. Unlike Chinese people, Japanese people don't decorate their homes with a lot of things when they get married. Japanese decorations are very simple, so it was done in no time. As long as it had that wedding feeling, that was enough.

After everything was settled, it was almost noon, so Kimura Hiroshi took his family out for lunch. Of course, they couldn't just eat anything, so Kimura Hiroshi chose a rather upscale restaurant.

During the meal, Kimura Ryo, Kimura's older sister, sat down next to Kimura Hiroshi and whispered to him, "Hiroshi, you're right. Who would want to have so many children? Too many is too much trouble, so I'm not having any."

Kimura Hiroshi couldn't help but laugh when his older sister shared the same thought, saying, "It seems that on this matter, my sister and I are on the same side."

"Hmm, hmm, but I won't tell you directly. By the way, how are you and Akina's wedding preparations going? I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to ask. Tell me about it now," Kimura Ryo asked with great curiosity.

As a fan and good friend of Akina Nakamori, and given that she was marrying his younger brother, Ryo Kimura was naturally very concerned about their marriage. However, because she was now involved in politics, she was very busy and didn't have much time to keep track of their wedding preparations. So, she seized the opportunity to ask them about it.

It wasn't hard to talk about, so Kimura Hiroshi explained the wedding preparations in detail, emphasizing his mother Akiko's contributions, as she had been incredibly busy and hardworking for the wedding.

"Mom's amazing, isn't she? You can't do without Xiaoqiao, okay? But it still feels a bit unreal that you and Akina are really getting married. I still remember the first time I saw you and Akina together." Kimura Ryo couldn't help but recall the past.

Yes, time flies. It seems like only a moment has passed, and six years have gone by. Back when he met Nakamori Akina, she was a chubby little girl. She was only eighteen years old at the time, and she ate a lot and grew very fat. Her baby fat was really obvious.

Now, it's probably impossible for her to go back to her chubby baby face. She's a mature urban woman now, and the only way to become a chubby little girl again is to turn back time.

"Hehe, don't think it's impossible, sister. Tomorrow is my wedding with Akina. I'll let you experience for yourself that your sister-in-law is Nakamori Akina." Kimura Hiroshi said with considerable pride.

This prompted Kimura Ryo to tap his head and say, "You're so smug, aren't you? You wretched guy, once you're married, she'll be your wife. You'd better treat her well from now on, understand?"

"Of course, look how devoted your brother is," Kimura Hiroshi said shamelessly.

Chatting and eating, the time passed quickly. The group returned to the new house, rested for a while, and then started to confirm various details of tomorrow's wedding. Only after confirming everything was in order could they finally relax.

Chapter 635 At the Wedding

"Oh, it's only six o'clock. Why am I already wide awake? It turns out I can't really stay calm before the wedding after all."

Yesterday, Kimura Hiroshi told Nakamori Akina to get a good night's sleep so she could stay in shape today. But by this time, he was wide awake. Since he didn't want to sleep anymore, Kimura Hiroshi got up and opened the curtains.

In mid-April, the neon lights were already starting to brighten at six o'clock, but the sun hadn't risen yet. The light was just filtering through, and visibility wasn't very good; you could only see the high-rise apartments next door.

"I don't have to go to the hotel to pick up Akina until 10 o'clock. I still have four hours. What should I do? How about I make myself breakfast?" Kimura Hiroshi suddenly had an idea.

They didn't need to get married very early. They picked up Akina Nakamori from the hotel at 10:00 AM, then went to a nearby church for the wedding ceremony. By then it would be around noon, just in time for the wedding banquet.

Without hesitation, Kimura Hiroshi quickly washed up, took out bread, eggs, and some lettuce from the refrigerator, made himself a simple breakfast sandwich, and then drank a glass of milk to appease his stomach.

Then he took a shower, washing himself thoroughly, and put on the suit and tuxedo he needed for the wedding. As for his hairstyle and light makeup, he would have to wait for the makeup artist to come later. However, he finished all of this before eight o'clock.

So he could only sit on the sofa, dressed in his suit and tuxedo, watching TV and waiting for the others to arrive. At that moment, he really wanted to make a call to ask about Nakamori Akina's situation, but he held back; it wasn't the right time to call now.

"Ah, the phone's functions are still not perfect enough. It would be great if it could send text messages. If it can't make calls, sending a text message to ask should be no problem, right?" Kimura Hiroshi thought with a slight troubled expression.

After watching the boring morning news for a while, the doorbell rang at the new house. Kimura Hiroshi quickly turned off the TV, got up and went to open the door. As soon as he opened it, he saw his three family members and people from the wedding planning company.

"Wow, you got up early! You're all dressed and ready, we didn't even have to urge you. That's great, Hiro." Hiro's older sister, Kimura Ryo, was very pleased to see that he was already dressed and looked like he had even taken a shower.

"How could I sleep in on my own wedding? I got up very early. The makeup artist is here too. Thank you so much for helping me with my hair and makeup." He quickly invited the bride in and began the final preparations before picking her up: makeup and hairstyling.

While the wedding planner was doing his makeup, his mother, Mingzi, asked about the progress of the wedding procession and whether everything else was ready. Everything seemed simple and calm, without any panic, since everything had been arranged in advance.

Compared to their side, Nakamori Akina was much busier. There's no way around it; it's much more troublesome for women to do makeup, hair, and clothes than for men.

"Hairpin, where is the hairpin? Quick, I need to clip it in so I can put on the veil. Oh, the veil is crooked. This is how I should do it. Yes, this is how I should do it."

Although Akina Nakamori woke up around six o'clock and started preparing her bridal attire, she was nervous and there were too many people around, especially young girls such as Kyoko Koizumi, Kayo Sato, Rie Miyazawa, Sachiko Kamachi, and even Akina Nakamori's older sisters.
