My daily life with the original diva

However, Hiroshi Kimura shook his head and said, "Mr. Tomioka, don't even think about it. I definitely won't be releasing this song on an album. I can include it in the music video recorded for the concert, though. As for new songs, I have plenty. I'm releasing a new single and an album this year, right? I'll put it on the agenda as soon as the concert is over."

After saying this, Tomioka Yukio was finally appeased. Well, it's just a song, so let it be. Anyway, Kimura Hiroshi has plenty of new songs in his head. Releasing a single with this kind of new singing style that hasn't been tested by the market might get him criticized. So let's just consider it a free gift.

"When his fans give away new songs for free at his concert, it's probably a once-in-a-lifetime event," Yukio Tomioka couldn't help but think.

Chapter 172 Why Are You Here?

With the hype surrounding the movie promotion and the upcoming mega-concert, sales of Hiroshi Kimura's new single "Eat You Up" actually increased in July. Sales exceeded 150,000 copies in the two weeks from the end of June to the beginning of July. After losing the top spot for two weeks, it returned to the number one spot on the sales chart and dominated the chart for two consecutive weeks, which can be described as a very magical phenomenon.

However, even with the significant rebound in sales, it did not affect Hiroshi Kimura's original schedule. He did not appear on any TV chart shows and continued to work hard on concert rehearsals until the day of the concert.

On July 12th, starting in the morning, Jingu Stadium, which was usually quite deserted without a match, began to bustle with activity. Many staff members entered Jingu Stadium to make final preparations for the concert, and a small number of eager fans arrived early.

The first half of July is the summer vacation time in Japan, and many of Hiroshi Kimura's fans are students, which gives them plenty of time to come and find places to have fun.

The morning was fine, but around three or four in the afternoon, large numbers of young people flocked to Jingu Stadium. Most of them were young girls, dressed in very light clothing in the hot summer. They were all very excited to see their idols live, and their silvery laughter could be heard everywhere.

So many young girls gathered here, some with long legs, some with full breasts, some with pretty faces, and some with outstanding looks and figures, attracting the attention of many people.

In particular, there are many art museums near Jingu Stadium, and many teenagers study painting here. They have never seen such a scene before, and they are all full of curiosity.

"What match is happening at Jingu Stadium today? There are so many girls here to watch. Is some big-name star player coming?"

"Oh, what are you talking about? How could there be so many girls at a football match? It's because that popular male idol, Hiroshi Kimura, is holding a concert here. These are all his fans who came to see his concert."

"What? He has so many female fans and music lovers? Why didn't you tell me sooner? Is it too late for me to join now? I want to go to the concert too! Yes, I want to go to the concert! Waaah, look at that girl, she's so pretty! It would be so wonderful to go to the concert with her."

His classmates around him all had distorted expressions. "You want to go to the concert? You want to go see the girls, right? Humph, we have the same little thoughts as you. It's too late now, the tickets are sold out. We'll have to wait for next time."

At 6:50 p.m., more than 35,000 spectators had entered the stadium, most of whom were young people. Before Kimura Hiroshi even appeared, the entire stadium was already in an uproar.

Backstage, Hiroshi Kimura was ready to go on stage. It was his first time performing in front of so many people, and he was a little nervous, but only a little. Before going on stage, he asked about the gift he was going to prepare for Akina Nakamori: "Michiko, have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?"

Although he has a very important concert to hold today, tomorrow, July 13th, is Nakamori Akina's birthday. This is the first birthday Nakamori Akina will celebrate since they officially got together, so he wants to prepare some surprises. However, he is very busy lately, so he can only leave this matter to his assistant, Ms. Michiko.

"It's all ready, Kimura-san. It's downstairs at Akina-san's apartment. You can take her to see it tomorrow," Michiko said, giving an OK sign.

"Thank you very much, Ms. Michiko. After the concert, I'll have Mr. Tomioka give you a raise," Kimura Hiroshi said gratefully.

The assistant's salary is not something he can decide; it is handled by the agency and the agent. Yukio Tomioka, who was standing next to him, was speechless when he heard Hiroshi Kimura's words. This kid is asking me to give him a raise for having his assistant handle his personal affairs. That's a bit too much.

"Alright, a raise is no problem. Ms. Michiko has been doing an excellent job lately, but now it's your turn to step up and perform well." Yukio Tomioka patted Hiroshi Kimura on the shoulder, indicating that it was no problem.

"Look, Ms. Michiko, that's it. Now I'm going on stage." With that, Kimura Hiroshi picked up his electric guitar and walked offstage.

At 7 p.m., the lights in the entire Jingu Stadium began to dim. Suddenly, a bright light shone on the stage, and then Hiroshi Kimura and his band slowly rose onto the stage on a lift.

"Ah, woo!" A continuous roar immediately erupted from below the stage. In the dim light and the glow of the glow sticks, Kimura Hiroshi could see countless figures below the stage, densely packed. He could not see them clearly from a distance, only a few points of light.

He had always dreamed of this scene, imagining it countless times in his dreams. Now, he has finally realized it, showcasing his singing and charm in front of tens of thousands of people.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" With his loud roar, the familiar rhythm of the most important event began. Accompanied by the band, Hiroshi Kimura, carrying an electric guitar, came to the front of the stage, waved to tens of thousands of audience members, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hello, friends who came to the scene!"

This immediately caused a gasp of surprise. The voices that answered "yes" were so loud they seemed to pierce the sky, and there were even a few very sharp, broken voices mixed in.

The opening act was the most important event, using the strong and fast rhythm of rock to bring the atmosphere of the entire concert to a fever pitch. Hiroshi Kimura gave full play to his voice and energy on stage, and the audience below responded enthusiastically to his efforts, swaying along with his singing, and the glow sticks rose and fell like waves.

After the most important event, the next act was "Until the End of the Line," followed by "What You Name." Kimura Hiroshi then began to show off his dance skills, and at the same time, he revealed his abs, which was extremely rare for him, making the little girl closest to the stage exclaim that she couldn't take it.

Because Kimura Hiroshi truly looked slim in clothes but had a muscular physique when undressed, and they had never seen anything like it before. Now, seeing it up close was too much for them to handle.

The opening songs brought the concert atmosphere to its most heated point, with many people shouting so enthusiastically that their voices became hoarse. At this point, some slow songs were needed to soothe the audience's nerves, otherwise, if they were too tense, they wouldn't be able to keep up the excitement in the second half.

Then came a few more soothing love songs. The audience stopped their earlier frenzy and began to sway gently to the rhythm of the music, savoring the tender moment.

After singing the love song, Kimura Hiroshi, who had been performing for an hour, was finally able to leave the stage to change clothes backstage. Next was the final happy moment, when he would perform the dance "Eat You Up" on stage, a dance with breakdancing elements.

As he quickly walked off the stage, he saw two people standing at the back aisle, looking straight at the stage. When they saw him come down, their faces were full of proud smiles, and they shouted loudly to him, "That's amazing, Kimura-san, you're really incredible!"

It was Nakamori Akina and her assistant, Ms. Noriko. Kimura Hiroshi was surprised to see her there and quickly went up to her, asking, "Akina-san, what brings you here? Don't you have a program tonight?"

“The show was recorded an hour ago, and we came right away. How could I not come to Kimura-san’s first concert?” Akina Nakamori said with a smile.

He came right after filming the show, he really isn't afraid of hard work. With outsiders around, he couldn't be too intimate, so he could only say, "You must be tired. Do you have work tomorrow?"

"Haha, no, tomorrow is my nineteenth birthday. The agency gave me a day off, and my mom called to tell me to come home so she can celebrate my nineteenth birthday. I was supposed to go home tonight, but I'm going to see Kimura-san's concert." Nakamori Akina said with a happy expression.

Nineteen is considered an unlucky year, requiring prayers and blessings. Her family also took it seriously, which is why the agency gave her a day off to go home and celebrate her birthday.

However, Kimura Hiroshi realized that the surprise he had prepared might not be ready by tomorrow. He didn't say much because the audience was still waiting for him. "Akina-san, don't rush to leave after the concert. Wait for me. I'm going to change my clothes first because I'm going on stage."

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't keep the audience waiting. I won't leave after the concert." Nakamori Akina pushed him to change his clothes.

Upon arriving backstage, Kimura Hiroshi immediately went to Ms. Michiko and said to her, "Ms. Michiko, I'd like to trouble you to bring the things from Akina-san's apartment building to the stadium. She's going back to her hometown in Kiyose tomorrow, and there's no time for her."

Unexpectedly, Michiko didn't say much. She put away her bag and said, "Okay, I'll go now. Don't worry, Kimura-san, I'll make sure it's delivered."

After giving these instructions, Kimura Hiroshi breathed a sigh of relief, went to the dressing room to change his clothes, and returned to the stage. Amid the cheers of the audience, he began his passionate performance once again.

The energetic dancing and dynamic music had the young people in the audience going wild, but it all had to end eventually. An hour and a half later, the concert came to a close.

It seemed the concert was about to end, and the audience below the stage were somewhat reluctant to leave. Today's concert was worthwhile; at least they had a great time. But just as they were preparing to leave, Hiroshi Kimura did not leave the stage. He walked to the microphone, looked at the audience below, and began to speak.

"Many young people are here today, including students and office workers. I know that everyone encounters many difficulties in their daily lives. For example, when I was in school, I was ostracized by my classmates. When I first came to Tokyo to make my way in the world, I encountered setbacks everywhere, and no one wanted to hire me."

Now you see me shining brightly, but I was once a failure. Here, I hope you won't give up hope either. So today, I specially created a unique song for all the young people here: "Loser!"

As Hiroshi Kimura shouted "Loser!", the fast-paced and intense rock music started up again, and the audience cheered once more.

Soon, they heard Hiroshi Kimura singing a song in a way they had never seen before. The speed was terrifying; if you weren't paying close attention, you couldn't even hear the lyrics. But everyone who heard the song was filled with excitement. It was truly a unique song.

Chapter 173 Birthday Surprise

The concert ended with Hiroshi Kimura's unique rapping voice as he slowly disappeared off the stage amidst cheers from the audience and returned backstage.

The audience gradually dispersed. To ensure the order of the concert, Ken-On specially hired a large security company to handle the event and ensure that there would be no chaos. As a result, tens of thousands of audience members left Jingu Stadium safely.

Backstage, Hiroshi Kimura was covered in sweat. The performance, which lasted for more than an hour, had left him exhausted. But as soon as he stepped off the stage, he was greeted by a chorus of congratulations. Kimura high-fived each of them to celebrate the success of the concert. Even Akina Nakamori joined in and high-fived him, jumping up excitedly.

The concert was over, but he couldn't leave immediately. He still had to thank each of the staff present, thank the stadium staff who had helped him maintain order, and then there was a celebration for the successful conclusion of the concert.

When he returned backstage, it was already past 11 p.m. Ms. Michiko had also returned, smiling and giving him an OK sign, indicating that the matter had been settled.

When he arrived at the lounge, he saw Ms. Noriko sitting there reading a magazine, and next to her, Akina Nakamori was leaning back in her chair, already asleep. When she saw him come in, Ms. Noriko quickly nudged Akina Nakamori.

Rubbing her eyes, Nakamori Akina saw Kimura Hiroshi standing in front of her. With a slightly embarrassed smile, she said, "Kimura-san, you're back. I was so tired that I fell asleep. How are things? Have you finished everything?"

"Yes, it's all finished. You're so tired, why don't you go back? Sleeping here can easily make you catch a cold," Kimura Hiroshi said with some concern.

As a popular idol, Akina Nakamori is very busy, so busy that she's practically never on the go. That's not all; she can't even guarantee her sleep time. Whenever she manages to catch up on sleep, she does so.

"Ah, it's okay. It's so hot now, it's not easy to catch a cold. I've been working out lately, and I'm feeling much better. Besides, didn't Kimura-san tell me to wait for you to finish?" As she spoke, Nakamori Akina showed off her arm, gesturing to her not-so-large muscles.

"It's my fault," Kimura Hiroshi patted his head and said. "Alright, Ms. Noriko, I'll borrow Akina-san for a while. I'll bring her back to you later. Come with me to Akina-san."

"What's going on, Kimura-san?" Nakamori Akina asked curiously, but Kimura Hiroshi just shook his head with a smile on his face and walked ahead, letting Nakamori Akina follow him out.

Miss Noriko was left alone in the lounge. She was really itching to go along and see what the two of them were up to. Her desire to watch the drama was practically bursting. But she also knew that it was best to leave the two of them alone at this time. If she went along, she probably wouldn't have another chance to watch the drama. Whether it was just once or for years, she knew exactly what she was doing.

There were staff members outside, so Kimura Hiroshi couldn't be too intimate with Nakamori Akina. He walked in front, and Nakamori Akina followed behind. When Kimura Hiroshi walked over, he gestured to Ms. Michiko, asking her to lead the way, because she was the one who brought the item back, and Kimura Hiroshi didn't know exactly where it was placed, so he needed her to show him the way.

And so, the three of them walked out of the backstage area in a strange way and came to a corner of the stadium's underground parking lot. Michiko pointed to a corner and then didn't follow them any further.

There were hardly any cars or people left in the underground parking lot. Kimura Hiroshi took Nakamori Akina's hand and walked towards that corner.

Confused and bewildered by Kimura Hiroshi's actions, Nakamori Akina, whose hand was being held, asked, "What's all this mystery, Kimura-san? Are you trying to scare me again?"

She was clearly still shaken by the prank in the car last time, but Kimura Hiroshi just shook his head and pulled her toward that corner. Soon, they arrived in front of a brand new red sedan.

Looking at the car, Nakamori Akina seemed unsure of what to do. She glanced at the car, then at Kimura Hiroshi, as if waiting for his answer.

"Akina-san, open the trunk." Kimura Hiroshi said with a doting expression, standing next to him.

Although she didn't know what Hiroshi Kimura was doing, Akina Nakamori did as he said, bending down to press the trunk lock and pulling the trunk lid up.

In an instant, Akina Nakamori was stunned, because she saw that the carriage was full of bright red roses, packed to the brim, completely filling her vision.

"Do you like them, Akina-san? This year is your nineteenth birthday. Here are 190 roses. Happy nineteenth birthday," Kimura Hiroshi whispered in her ear.

After a moment of surprise, Nakamori Akina exclaimed excitedly, then turned around and hugged Kimura Hiroshi's waist. "I love it, I love it so much! Thank you for the surprise, Kimura-san. I thought I wouldn't be able to celebrate my birthday with Kimura-san after I went back tomorrow. I'm so happy!"

Seeing the delighted Nakamori Akina, Kimura Hiroshi sighed, "Sigh, these are all gifts prepared for tomorrow. I was originally planning to give you the surprise and then enjoy a candlelight dinner at a high-class Western restaurant. Now I can only give you the surprise ahead of time. But it's almost midnight now, so it's not too early."

Unexpectedly, Hiroshi Kimura had prepared so much while busy with his concert. Akina Nakamori felt a surge of guilt and sadness as she said, "I'm sorry, Kimura-san. My mother asked me to go back, and I can't not go. When I get back, we can enjoy some time alone together."

Touching her slightly tousled hair, Kimura Hiroshi said reassuringly, "It's alright, Akina-san. We can enjoy ourselves when you come back. There's plenty of time in the future. After all, we'll be together for many, many years to come."

"Yes, yes, we'll be together for many, many years to come." Nakamori Akina leaned against Kimura Hiroshi's chest, enjoying the beautiful moment.

But not long after, Ms. Michiko appeared not far away and gestured to Hiroshi Kimura, indicating that she was going to attend the celebration party for the successful concert and could not waste any more time.

Nodding to indicate that he understood, Kimura Hiroshi patted Nakamori Akina on the back and said, "Akina-san, I have to go to a celebration party. There will be a lot of outsiders there, so I won't take you. You go back and rest first. When you come back, we'll enjoy some time alone together. Oh, and this is for you."

After saying that, he placed a car key in Nakamori Akina's hand and said, "This car is also a surprise for you."

After saying that, she pulled Nakamori Akina and handed her over to Michiko. "I'm entrusting Akina-san to you, Michiko-san. Take her backstage and give her to Noriko-san. Also, remember to tell her to drive the car back. It'll be troublesome to come back and get it if it's left here."

Turning around, he saw Nakamori Akina still covered up. He smiled slightly, gently touched her lips, and said, "Happy birthday, Akina-san."

Then she turned around and went backstage. Watching Kimura Hiroshi's departing figure, Nakamori Akina finally realized what was happening. Looking at the car keys in her hand, she called out, "Why did you buy a car? It's so expensive. Let's return it, Kimura-san."

Unfortunately, Kimura Hiroki disappeared from her sight in a flash, clearly afraid that she would come here and wanted to slip away first!

Chapter 174 The Trouble Caused by a Birthday Gift

Carrying a large pile of gifts for her family, Nakamori Akina walked downstairs to the garage. Looking at the bright red BMW E30 sedan in front of her, she gave a bitter smile, a hint of heartache on her face. This was the birthday gift that Kimura-san had given her last night.

She loved the vibrant red color and had been planning to buy a red car ever since she got her driver's license, so it would be convenient to go back to her hometown of Kiyose. But she had been too busy lately and hadn't gotten around to buying one. Unexpectedly, Kimura Hiroshi gave her one as a gift, and it was even a high-end imported car.

If it were just a regular car worth a million yen, that would be one thing, but this BMW E30 is definitely a high-end car. When she took Ms. Noriko and Mr. Akio to the stadium garage to drive it yesterday, the two of them were quite surprised. They didn't expect Kimura Hiroshi to give such an expensive birthday gift.

According to Mr. Akiyuki, who knows a lot about cars, this car would cost at least 18 million yen, which is almost twice as expensive as the Toyota Crown 7th generation that she gave to Mr. Kimura last time.

Ms. Noriko circled the car several times, muttering to herself that she hoped her future boyfriend would also give her one.

She naturally didn't want something so valuable. She called Kimura-san early this morning and asked him to return the car. After all, he was short of money and needed to start a company, so he couldn't be so extravagant. Besides, he hadn't come to collect the money she wanted to give him yet.

But Kimura-san, who came back late from the celebration party yesterday, was very grumpy when he woke up, obviously because he hadn't slept well. On the phone, he told her unhappily that returning a birthday gift was extremely impolite, and returning a birthday gift between lovers was even more unforgivable. He added that the gift she gave him last time was also very expensive, and he hadn't returned it himself, so how could she return it?

Then he said he was very tired from yesterday's concert and needed to rest today. He told people not to bother him unless it was important, then he hung up and went to sleep.

When Akina Nakamori heard what Hiroshi Kimura said, she could only smile bitterly. She had used this trick on Hiroshi Kimura first, and now she was being used against him. The car was definitely not going back, so she had no choice but to accept it. However, she also decided that she had to give the money to Hiroshi Kimura as soon as possible to prevent him from having a financial crisis.
