My daily life with the original diva

"Haha, this way of addressing me feels strange. Let's just call me the same way as before. I still can't quite accept this way of addressing me. What do you think, Akina?" Kimura Hiroshi felt a bit awkward hearing Nakamori Akina call him "husband." This kind of address in Japan is very old-fashioned and gives people a very old feeling. Kimura Hiroshi didn't really like it.

But at this moment, Nakamori Akina was not about to let him go. Seeing that Kimura Hiroshi was unwilling, she lay down next to him and kept calling out, "Husband, husband, husband... um."

But before long, her mouth was covered by a kiss. It was none other than Kimura Hiroshi's mouth. To prevent Nakamori Akina from continuing to shout, he kissed her hard, and then his hands began to wander.

At this moment, Akina Nakamori was still quite lucid. She grabbed Hiroshi Kimura's restless hand and said, "No, no, you're all dirty. You need to take a shower first."

Now that they are husband and wife and the wedding is over, Akina Nakamori naturally wouldn't refuse Hiroshi Kimura's request. However, she is still very clean. The two of them had been busy all day at the wedding and were covered in sweat, so she had to take a shower first.

He gently sniffed the scent emanating from himself. Well, after running around outside all day and experiencing all sorts of things, the smell wasn't exactly pleasant. But tonight was his wedding night, and Kimura Hiroshi naturally wanted to create a beautiful memory, so he nodded and said, "Should Akina wash first, or should I? It's getting late."

It's already past 11 p.m., which is indeed quite late.

"I'll shower first. Hiro-kun, you can watch TV here." She immediately jumped up from the sofa, rushed to the room to grab her pajamas, and ran into the bathroom. Seemingly afraid that Kimura Hiro might suddenly become a beast and rush in, she even locked the bathroom door when she went in.

"Hehe, is it really necessary? I wouldn't do something like a bathroom raid. I need to rest properly so I can perform perfectly later." Kimura Hiroshi said to himself, comfortably leaning back on the sofa.

However, a woman's bath can take a long time, so Kimura Hiroshi didn't just sit on the sofa. He turned on the TV, and the station was broadcasting a midnight entertainment news program. As soon as he turned it on, he saw a report about his wedding with Nakamori Akina.

The wedding of these two top celebrities was reported on for more than four months, so you can imagine how popular it was. The entire entertainment news program focused on the grand occasion of their wedding, not only because the large number of onlookers blocked the streets, but also because the wedding venue was extremely grand.

The hotel was covered in flowers, as was the street in front of the church, along with various decorations and their luxurious wedding car convoy. All of this required a huge expense, and the entertainment media naturally wanted to capitalize on it. After all, the bubble hadn't completely burst yet, and the Japanese still had a strong desire for luxury.

As the person involved, Hiroshi Kimura didn't actually notice these arrangements at the time, as his energy was entirely focused on the wedding. Now, from a third-party perspective, these things really cost a lot. The wedding planning company didn't really rip him off; at least they provided the expected grandeur.

"Not bad, at least it didn't feel like I wasted over 100 million yen. I'm very satisfied. In a while, I'll go to the wedding planning company and get the video of the entire wedding to keep as a souvenir." Kimura Hiroshi was quite satisfied with the wedding he saw in the news report. He also wanted to get the wedding video so he could watch it anytime in the future.

The reporting continued, and it was clear that the reporters were filming the whole thing. Inside the church, when the couple exchanged wedding rings, the reporters' cameras were pointed directly at the rings. There was no way around it; the diamonds were just too big, and the reporters couldn't avoid filming even if they wanted to.

"Ah, are there still reports about our wedding at this hour?" Nakamori Akina had finished showering and was drying her hair when she saw a report about their wedding on TV. She was immediately drawn to it, quickly came over, sat on the sofa, and watched intently.

It's just that she has slight nearsightedness, and if she doesn't wear glasses, she has to squint when watching TV, which looks quite comical.

"Yes, I estimate there will be quite a few reports like this in the next two or three days. If Akina wants to see them, she can see them anytime," Kimura Hiroshi said with a smile.

Akina Nakamori naturally knew this as well. Several TV stations broadcast their marriage registration for two or three days, so their wedding would naturally receive several days of coverage as well.

"Hmm, hmm, yes, wow, these reporters' shots are so clear! I wonder how well the wedding planning company did?" Nakamori Akina stared at the TV, commenting as she watched.

Seeing her rather serious expression, Kimura Hiroshi found it quite amusing. However, he had important business to attend to today and couldn't devote too much energy to judging whether the reporter's photos were good or bad. Kimura Hiroshi smelled the shampoo scent emanating from Nakamori Akina's hair and began to have distractions.

"Akina, you can watch TV for a bit, I'm going to take a shower first." After saying that, she impatiently went to her room to get her pajamas and then headed to the bathroom to shower.

Sitting on the sofa, Akina Nakamori watched this scene and couldn't help but chuckle. Then she turned her head back to watch TV, determined to see what the TV station's coverage of their wedding was about and whether they had said anything bad about them.

Men's showering speed is predictable. Kimura Hiroshi was relatively slow, but he still finished within ten minutes. After he came out, he saw Nakamori Akina still there, watching TV intently, as if she were engrossed in it.

Having washed himself thoroughly, Kimura Hiroshi wrapped his arms around Nakamori Akina's neck from behind the sofa, rested his head affectionately on her shoulder, and asked, "Is the TV show really that good, Akina?"

"Yes, it looks great, Hiro-kun. The reporters didn't say anything bad about our wedding; on the contrary, they gave us many blessings. I'm very happy," Nakamori Akina said in a good mood.

To everyone's surprise, Akina Nakamori actually answered so seriously, but Hiroshi Kimura's mind wasn't on that. He sniffed the fragrance emanating from Akina Nakamori and said, "The TV show is interesting, but we have more important things to do, don't we?"

How could Nakamori Akina not understand Kimura Hiroshi's hint? Her ears turned red, and she twisted her body, saying, "Blow-dry my hair first. It'll be uncomfortable if it's not dry."

Although he was actually incredibly impatient, Kimura Hiroshi was very patient. He said, "Yes, that's true. So let's blow-dry her hair. Akina's hair is getting longer and longer. It's time to get it trimmed. If it gets too long, it's really too much trouble to take care of."

“Sure, I’ll definitely get a haircut before our honeymoon, a shorter one, so I won’t have to worry too much about styling my hair while we’re traveling.” Akina Nakamori agreed with Hiroshi Kimura’s suggestion to cut her hair shorter before their honeymoon.

Take out the hairdryer, Nakamori Akina sits in the chair, Kimura Hiro plugs it in, and begins to blow-dry Nakamori Akina's hair. Nakamori Akina seems to enjoy Kimura Hiro's service. Every time Kimura Hiro blow-dries her hair, she always closes her eyes slightly and shows a very enjoyable expression on her face.

"That feels so good. From now on, I'll make sure Hiro-kun blow-dries my hair every time I wash it," Nakamori Akina said, pushing her luck a bit.

“Sure, as long as we’re together, I can blow-dry Akina’s hair. I’d be happy to do it for you.” Kimura Hiroshi immediately agreed. It wasn’t a difficult task at all; rather, it felt like a little romantic gesture between husband and wife.

As he slowly began to blow-dry his hair, Kimura Hiroshi was no longer in such a hurry. He felt the wet hair gradually dry and become smooth in his hands. It was his beloved woman's hair, and the feeling was truly extraordinary and special.

It took about twenty minutes to dry my hair. Don't blow-dry it for too long, as hot air can cause a lot of damage to your hair. So that's enough.

"Okay, it's dried. Hmm, it smells really good. I don't know if it's the scent coming from Akina or the shampoo." Kimura Hiroshi lowered his head and sniffed.

"Haha, you look a bit lewd, Hiro-kun. You mustn't let anyone see you like this." Nakamori Akina looked up and saw Kimura Hiro enjoying the smell of her hair, laughing mockingly. It was the first time she had ever seen Kimura Hiro like this.

Kimura Hiroshi, however, didn't seem to care, saying, "This is my wife's hair. She can smell it however she wants. I can smell it like this, and nobody can stop me."

The shameless Kimura Hiro circled around Nakamori Akina, sniffing her all over, making her laugh non-stop. Sometimes she really felt that Kimura Hiro had a childlike quality, but she didn't dislike him; on the contrary, she liked him that way. Kimura Hiro was just too amazing. If he were always so wise, decisive, calm, and rational, it wouldn't be so comfortable to be around him.

After laughing enough, Nakamori Akina suddenly stretched out her hands, indicating that she said, "It's already twelve o'clock, we should go to rest, but I want Hiro-kun to carry me to my room."

With his new wife being so proactive, Kimura Hiroshi naturally understood her meaning. He casually tidied up the hairdryer and placed it on the table, then bent down and picked up Nakamori Akina, kissed her, and said, "Today is the wedding night according to Chinese customs, what the Chinese call the bridal chamber. So let's enjoy ourselves to the fullest tonight."

"Sigh, where did Hiro-kun learn all this weird stuff? Okay, okay, whatever you want, do whatever you want, but don't go too far, or I'll bite you." Nakamori Akina was clearly planning to cooperate with Kimura Hiro today, but she wouldn't agree to everything, so she had to give him a heads-up beforehand.

With his eyes shining, Kimura Hiroshi grinned slyly, "Akina, you said it yourself, so I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you for your hard work tonight, Akina."

After saying that, he picked up Nakamori Akina and rushed into the room. The room was decorated with a very wedding atmosphere, which would make the newlyweds feel even more wonderful.

Chapter 638 Media Headlines

"A grand wedding! Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori officially held their wedding yesterday, reportedly costing 200 million yen!"

"A lavish wedding: Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori!"

As expected, the next day, almost all entertainment media headlines were about Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori's official wedding. The pages also featured photos of the wedding venue, which was decorated exceptionally beautifully and luxuriously, and the media naturally couldn't resist giving it a shout-out.

This is also what young people in Japan like to watch the most right now. Although Japan's economic bubble is bursting, most people haven't really felt it yet. After all, the stock market hasn't completely collapsed yet, and although the real estate market is growing much more slowly than before, it hasn't fallen yet. Everyone is still enjoying the last vestiges of the bubble economy.

Therefore, everyone is very envious of Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori's lavish wedding, especially young women, who all hope that their wedding can be more luxurious.

"With so many flowers, even the streets are covered in them. Just buying flowers must have cost millions of yen, right?"

"Ha, how could a few million yen possibly buy so many flowers? My friend who owns a flower shop said it would take at least twenty million yen to cover the street in front of the hotel and church."

"It actually costs so much. How much does the ring on Akina Nakamori's hand, no, I should say Akina Kimura's hand, cost? Look how big it is. It's said to have been ordered from a famous gem company and is over ten carats."

"It should be at least over 100 million yen, and Kimura Hiroshi has the same one. Look at this ruby, it's infuriating! Is Kimura Hiroshi really that rich? Did he save all the money he earned over the years? But that shouldn't be the case, doesn't he spend money?"

The wedding brought Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina's popularity to its peak. People were talking about the wedding, especially the luxurious items, which completely attracted the attention of young people. No one could resist having such things.

But this is the last bit of hype surrounding their marriage. After all, they've already had their wedding, and there's nothing left to generate buzz about. Are they going to hype up their honeymoon? Obviously, that's unnecessary, and Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina probably wouldn't agree to it either.

With their wedding successfully concluded, the entire entertainment industry breathed a sigh of relief. Their wedding occupied a large amount of media resources, with so many media outlets participating in the coverage of their wedding that it greatly interfered with the promotion of their artists by many agencies.

Newspaper and magazine pages are limited each day. Once you've written about one thing, it's hard to write about another. Now that Kimura Hiroshi and Nakamori Akina's wedding is over, those pages are finally freed up, so the agencies can contact the media and start writing promotional articles for their artists.

"Ah, the wedding of these two girls finally went smoothly. There was no breakup like that of Seiko Matsuda and Hiromi Go. Otherwise, who knows how long they would have dominated the headlines. Now that they're married, the hype and popularity are starting to die down. We should give it a try."

Since Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori announced their marriage, various agencies have been eager to seize the niche in the entertainment industry vacated by their wedding. However, there has been no progress for the past few months. Now that their wedding is over, these agencies are naturally eager to make their move. With profits at stake, no agency can resist, even if it means suffering heavy losses.

"It's time to give it a try, but Kimura Hiroshi's influence shouldn't be underestimated. His single 'Sudden Love,' which was used as the theme song for the TV series, sold 460,000 copies in the first week, and nearly a million copies in two weeks. It's a certainty that it will break a million now. Some people predict that it may even sell more than two million copies."

Although Hiroshi Kimura got married, his records are still selling well, even more so than expected. You have to understand that in Japan, it's not enough for a record to sell well just because you sing well. Many singles are actually of high quality, but they just don't sell well. Sales depend not only on quality but also on the popularity of the singer.

If your album sales exceed one million copies, it means you have both popularity and song quality. But if sales exceed two million, it's not just a simple combination. It means your popularity is still booming, at least among the top artists. Otherwise, it would be very difficult.

"What? Sales are approaching one million? To break two million? That's impossible. Since the 1980s, where have you seen records that have sold more than two million? Absolutely impossible. At most, it'll be a maximum of one or two hundred thousand."

With sales approaching one million copies in two weeks, the numbers are indeed staggering. However, many people still find it hard to believe that the final sales will surpass two million copies. There's no way around it; Japan hasn't had a single that sells over two million copies in more than a decade. The last single to break two million copies was released in 1976. It doesn't make sense that this honor would be snatched away by Hiroshi Kimura so early in the 1990s.

Although Hiroshi Kimura's single is poised to break two million sales thanks to his wedding and the popularity of his drama series, most people still think it's unlikely, as it's simply too unimaginable. You know, last year, breaking one million sales would have placed him in the top three of the sales charts, and it seems that Hiroshi Kimura was the leader in breaking one million sales this time.

However, Kimura Hiroshi didn't really care about these things. He was now a newlywed, and on the first day after his wedding, he got up very early, around eight o'clock in the morning, while his new wife, Nakamori Akina, was still sleeping soundly. He had put in a lot of effort the night before to have a wonderful night, which left Nakamori Akina very tired. Between the wedding and the hectic night, she needed a long sleep to recover her strength.

However, Kimura Hiroshi, who had worked the hardest yesterday, recovered very well. When he woke up in the morning, he was full of energy. Looking at the sleeping Nakamori Akina, he first kissed her on the cheek, then put on his pajamas, quietly got up and left the room.

After a quick wash, he went to the kitchen, humming a song as he prepared breakfast for Nakamori Akina. He and Nakamori Akina had nothing to do today, and Kimura Hiroshi's plan was for them to rest well, do some shopping, watch a movie, or do some fun to recharge. Then they would finish up their work in a few days and start their honeymoon.

Humming a song as he made breakfast, Kimura Hiroshi was in an excellent mood. Just as he finished making the breakfast sandwiches and was about to put them on the table, he saw Nakamori Akina standing at the kitchen door with a smile on her face, looking at him.

"Ah, Akina's up? Why are you up so early? Did I wake you up because I was cooking too loudly?" Kimura Hiroshi asked with a hint of guilt.

Nakamori Akina gently shook her head and replied, "The cooking noise was very quiet. I couldn't hear it at all in the room. I just felt that it was a little warmer around me, so I thought Hiro-kun should be up, so I got up too. I didn't expect Hiro-kun to get up early to make breakfast for me. It's really a blessing."

"Is that so? Hehe, it seems Akina's intuition is really sharp. Then hurry up and wash up and have breakfast. You must be very hungry now, having worked hard last night." Kimura Hiroshi said meaningfully.

Is this hardship from the wedding or the hardship in bed afterward? Nakamori Akina couldn't tell for a moment, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Kimura Hiroshi, saying, "You're so indecent in the morning. Hiroshi, you should be more restrained. Like you said before, you should take care of your body even when you're young."

"Ah, do you think I don't cherish you? I tried my best to control myself, otherwise I would have eaten you before I even had breakfast." After setting down the plate, Kimura Hiroshi walked up to Nakamori Akina and tapped her nose.

Nakamori Akina was startled to learn that he had such an ability. They had been going at it for a long time last night, and she didn't want to go through that again this morning. She quickly slipped away and ran to the bathroom, saying as she ran, "I'm going to wash up. I'm hungry. I'll have breakfast first."

Watching Nakamori Akina flee in disarray, Kimura Hiroshi stood with his hands on his hips, feeling a sense of victory. He muttered to himself, "Heh heh, you little brat, I crushed you on your very first day of marriage, didn't I? I'm not afraid I won't be able to handle you in the future. I can defeat you within three moves."

After saying that, he went to the kitchen and took out the rest of the things. He washed his hands and sat at the dining table to wait for Nakamori Akina to wash up. He didn't have to wait long. In less than ten minutes, Nakamori Akina came out of the bathroom.

There were only simple sandwiches on the table, containing bread, fried eggs, luncheon meat, stir-fried vegetables, and milk. It was very simple, but Nakamori Akina still praised it, saying, "It's really good, Hiro-kun. It looks delicious."

"It should be alright, but there's nothing at home, so it'll be hard to make anything delicious. To make the house feel more like home, how about we go to the supermarket to buy ingredients after breakfast? Hmm, I can cook dinner again, but I don't want to think about lunch. Let's go out and have some fun, then buy the ingredients and come back. What do you think?" Kimura Hiroshi explained his plans for the day.

Akina Nakamori had absolutely no idea what to do on her wedding day, so when she heard Kimura's plan, she happily expressed her agreement.

"Okay, okay, after breakfast, let's go out and play for a while, then go to the supermarket to buy things. When we get back in the evening, Hongjun and I will cook dinner together. Hehe, that's great! This should be what life is like for a married couple, right?"

After taking a bite of his sandwich, Kimura Hiroshi didn't really know what married life was like, but it probably wasn't this leisurely. Most ordinary people probably wouldn't be able to enjoy such a honeymoon after getting married. They would only have two or three days to rest before going back to work and hustling for a living.

"Maybe so, but whatever, let's just have fun. After we finish eating and get ready, we'll head out," Kimura Hiroshi said.

The two began to slowly enjoy breakfast. Nakamori Akina usually doesn't eat much in the morning; one sandwich is enough. But Kimura Hiroshi is quite big and needs two sandwiches. However, they both finish eating in about the same amount of time because Kimura Hiroshi eats faster.

While eating her sandwich, Akina Nakamori looked around the living room. The decorations from yesterday's wedding were still there—flowers and many beautiful ornaments. She couldn't help but ask, "Hiro-kun, did you and Mom prepare all these things yesterday?"

Now that she's officially married, Akina Nakamori can finally call her "Mom" smoothly. Weddings are indeed very important for women, helping them overcome certain emotional hurdles.

"Yes, it is. What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?" Hiroya Kimura replied, looking at the living room's decor.

“They’re so beautiful! Hiro-kun, Mom, Dad, and my sister put so much thought into them. We’ll leave these decorations here. They’re so pretty, we’ll keep them to look at them. We’ll take them down when they break.” Akina Nakamori didn’t want to damage any of the decorations in the house; she wanted to keep them and look at them as much as possible.

Kimura Hiroshi naturally wouldn't object, replying, "Akina can do whatever she wants, so let's leave everything here. We can clean it up if it gets damaged. But if we get married, shouldn't we go to both sets of parents' houses? I think that's a custom, right?"

Kimura Hiroshi's memory of Japanese customs wasn't very clear, so he needed to ask Nakamori Akina.

Akina Nakamori was quite aware of this. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's surprising that Hiro-kun doesn't even know this. We should go to Hiro-kun's house first, and then go to mine. Of course, it's not necessary to go, since many young people these days are unwilling to do such things."

Rapid urbanization destroys some older habits, and this is the case in Japan now, where young people are unwilling to follow these outdated customs.

But Hiroshi Kimura was still willing because he had time and was very free. Doing something wouldn't be a problem, and it could make both families happy, so he was willing to spend a little effort to do it.

"Let's go then. We have plenty of time, and we're going on our honeymoon overseas soon, so we should tell our families, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's right. Then let's go in a couple of days. After meeting Mom and Dad, we'll go on our honeymoon overseas. We'll go to Hong Kong first, right? I've never been there before. I've heard it's very prosperous there, and I really want to go and see it," Nakamori Akina said longingly.

Chapter 639 How could you possibly be bored at home?

They went shopping, watched a movie, and then went to the supermarket to buy groceries. When they got home, Kimura Hiroshi was the head chef and prepared dinner. Nakamori Akina wasn't really idle either; she acted as his assistant, helping him with things like chopping vegetables and preparing seasonings. After dinner, they went for a walk around the apartment area, came back, took a shower, watched TV, and then went to bed.
