Japanese big things

With gentle steps, Nakamura Masahiro took two steps back, then quietly turned around and walked out of the venue.

"Nakamura-san...."

There was a crisp sound of footsteps in the corridor behind him, and Nakamura Masahiro subconsciously looked back.

"Nanamin?"

What caught his eye was a girl with short hair, and that familiar face was none other than Nanami Hashimoto, the former assistant of Nakamura Masahiro.

"Uh, I almost forgot, I should call Hashimoto-san..."

For Nakamura Masahiro, the title Hashimoto-san is a normal idiom, while Nanamin is a bit too affectionate.

If Nana Hashimoto is still his assistant, it would be okay to be intimate in private.

But since the girl has resigned from her position, she needs to maintain the necessary distance.

"Nakamura-san...."

Nana Hashimoto walked slowly to Nakamura Masahiro, pursed her lips slightly, and her pretty face was much thinner than before.

"It looks like you've lost a lot of weight..."

After carefully looking at the girl in front of him, Nakamura Masahiro frowned subconsciously, but his tone of voice was slightly emotional.

"Did you not eat well?"

When Hashimoto Nana served as his assistant, although she was not round, she was still somewhat voluptuous.

But at this moment, her figure is even more fragile, which makes people feel a sense of protectiveness.

The stage was relatively far away, so Nakamura Masahiro couldn't tell clearly. But now that Hashimoto Nana was close to him, it became more and more obvious.

"I had a good meal..."

Nana Hashimoto retorted in a low voice, but her voice was so low that Masahiro Nakamura didn't hear her clearly at all.

"Since you have chosen to be an idol, then do it well."

Seeing the girl in front of him mumbling, he didn't know what he said? Nakamura Masahiro pursed his lips and comforted the girl.

"If you need any help, you can go to Ichikawa-san. You should know him, right?"

According to Nakamura Masahiro's judgment, when Ichikawaji joined the company, Hashimoto Nana had just resigned, and the two should have met.

However, Hashimoto Nana's reaction surprised Nakamura Masahiro, and she shook her head in denial.

"No, I don't know that Ichikawa-san..."

"I don't know you..."

Nakamura Masahiro didn't think much about it. After all, it wasn't a strange thing. It might have been because it happened to be wrong.

"Well then, I'll call Ichikawa-san over..."

"Eh?"

A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and Nana Hashimoto was a little confused by Nakamura Masahiro's actions.

As soon as Nakamura Masahiro hung up the phone, in less than two minutes, Ichikawa-san hurried over.

"President, do you have any orders?"

"There's nothing wrong..."

Nakamura Masahiro calmly pointed at Nana Hashimoto who was standing aside, and said in an almost commanding tone: "This is Hashimoto-san, a member of Nogizaka46. She used to be my assistant. You should be more considerate in the future."

, help take care of it."

"Hi, I understand, President..."

Ichikawa Haru quickly nodded in agreement. While he felt suspicious in his heart, his speculative eyes were also hovering over Hashimoto Nanami.

The job of an assistant in the Japanese workplace is not simple. Either one has really outstanding abilities or one has a close relationship with the leader.

Judging from Hashimoto Nana's age, the ability factor is most likely very small. Is it possible that her relationship with the president is unusual?

You can’t offend such people, and you must take more care of them in Nogizaka46 in the future!

Ichikawa Haru quickly made a decision in his mind, and he enthusiastically exchanged contact information with Hashimoto Nanami.

"Hashimoto-san, if you need anything, please remember to contact me."

Hashimoto Nana said a few polite words in a somewhat dull manner, with a confused look on her face as she watched Ichikawa Haru disappear from sight.

"Eh?"

As if she was in a fog, Hashimoto Nana felt confused and couldn't react for a while.

"If you encounter any problems in the future, remember to contact Ichikawa-san..."

He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the girl's eyes. After Hashimoto Nana hadn't come back to her senses, Nakamura Masahiro opened his mouth to warn her.

"If he can't handle it, he will report it to me."

"Um...."

The girl's voice was so subtle that if Nakamura Masahiro hadn't been right in front of him, he might not have noticed it.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first..."

After nodding at Nana Hashimoto, Masahiro Nakamura turned around and planned to leave.

However, before his steps landed, the girl's voice sounded again behind him.

"Nakamura-san, wait..."

"What's wrong?"

Turning around, Nakamura Masahiro turned to look at Hashimoto Nanami, who was curious about her hesitant expression.

"If anything happens, just tell me..."

"Uh, Nakamura-san, please accept this..."

As if by magic, a small blue bag suddenly appeared in Hashimoto Nana's hand.

"Yu Shou?"

Although he didn’t know what the thing in the girl’s hand was, Masahiro Nakamura felt that it looked familiar.

The cloth bag looks small and light, with white and gold floral decorations embroidered on it, giving it a warm feeling.

The vertical font in the middle is the four small characters "Health Guard", and there is a beautiful knot at the top.

"Well, when I went to the shrine last time, I invited the guardian for Nakamura-san..."

Seemingly out of shyness, Nana Hashimoto lowered her head and avoided Nakamura Masahiro's gaze.

"Thank you...."

Opening his mouth, Nakamura Masahiro slowly squeezed out words to express his gratitude.

Although he didn't have any feelings for things like Mamori, it was still a good idea from Hashimoto Nanami, so Nakamura Masahiro naturally couldn't refuse.

So, he obediently took the guard from the girl's hand, then took out his wallet and put it in it naturally.

"Then, Nakamura-san, I will go back first..."

With a slightly red face, Hashimoto Nana gave a slight nod to Nakamura Masahiro, and then ran away with broken steps.

Staring at the slightly panicked figure, Nakamura Masahiro frowned and thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and looked away.

Time flies by like a whirlwind. Nakamura Masahiro goes around day and night in the editing room of TBS TV station. It’s late August in the blink of an eye.

Although the scorching heat has gradually begun to go away, the afterglow of midsummer still envelopes the metropolis of Tokyo.

With the strong release of the trailer and promotional video of "Antarctica", the vast polar scenery has broken into the public's attention.

Just like suddenly discovering an oasis full of vitality in a dry desert, that very different style directly touched the hearts of a large number of people.

If the publicity by Kimura Takuya and other actors aroused curiosity, then the display of the trailer and promotional video amplified this curiosity to the extreme.

Spectacular glaciers, pure white ice and snow world, waddling penguins, lazy seals, etc.

In this way, a novel world was presented to the public, firmly catching the attention of all viewers.

Along with the soundtrack of "Human Legacy", a majestic sense of fate comes over you, which is shocking.

In an instant, the already high level of attention for "Antarctica" suddenly reached a huge level.

With the help of TBS TV station, "Antarctica" quickly triggered a strong response in the entire Japanese society.

Not only did the media and newspapers actively conduct heated discussions, but TV stations also followed the hot topics and opened up special columns.

Amid this huge wave of public opinion, the follow-up promotional video of "Antarctica" was released in mid-September, and its soundtrack "Time to Pretend" once again ignited the popularity.

Although "Antarctica" is an adapted TV series, for the younger generation, they have never seen the original movie, so they are full of novelty about Antarctica.

For a time, Japan's tourism industry also began to be affected, and a large number of tourists inquired about travel to Antarctica.

Among the younger generation, the topic of "Antarctica" has also set off a new climax of discussion.

It has gradually spread and formed a strange phenomenon: if you don't know the latest news about "Antarctica" while chatting, you will be regarded as unable to read the air.

"Finally done..."

Nakamura Masahiro straightened his arms and stretched back with a little force, and his tired body suddenly felt a little relieved.

The editing work of "Antarctica" has been completely completed, and the soundtrack seems to be making steady progress.

If nothing else happens, all post-production of "Antarctica" will be successfully completed by early October.

The scheduled broadcast time is October 16th....Based on this, it seems that the work will be completed earlier?

Nakamura Masahiro's thoughts were distracted, and he suddenly thought of the broadcast time arranged by TBS TV station.

Unfortunately, there is no reward for completing the work early, it just allows Masahiro Nakamura to enter a rest state in advance.

A cell phone rang suddenly, and Nakamura Masahiro, who was still in his daydream, quickly came back to his senses.

He picked up the phone and took a look. The caller ID was Yasushi Akimoto, which made Masahiro Nakamura a little curious.

Why is he calling? Is it possible that he wants to take advantage of the popularity of "Antarctica" to promote it?

Keeping guessing about the reason why Akimoto Yasushi called, Nakamura Masahiro casually pressed the answer button.

"Moses Moses, I am Masahiro Nakamura...."

"Nakamura-san, it's me..."

Akimoto Yasushi's familiar voice came out. After a brief greeting, he couldn't wait to get down to business.

"There is something wrong here at Nogizaka46..."

"Nani?"

Hearing Akimoto Yasushi's words, Nakamura Masahiro was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Akimoto-san, what happened?"

"It's that child Ayaka Yoshimoto..."

Yasushi Akimoto's voice sounded again: "Her family does not agree with her entering the entertainment industry, and she may have to quit."

"Quit, just quit..."

Nakamura Masahiro didn't have much impression of the name Yoshimoto Ayaka, and his speaking attitude was very casual.

"We have selected so many people, it doesn't matter if one is missing."

"But, she is my chosen C position..."

There was deep resentment in Akimoto Yasushi's tone: the C personnel he personally selected wanted to run away before they even debuted.

"If she leaves, position C will have to reconsider the candidate."

"There's nothing you can do about it. Can you keep her?"

Masahiro Nakamura calmly asked: "If you should give up, just give up. Just choose another one."

If you are an idol group in the Korean entertainment industry, you may need to be more cautious when replacing members.

But for a large idol group like Nogizaka46, it’s really not that important. Just change to a C-position candidate.

After all, Nogizaka46 has not officially debuted yet, so it is easy to find an excuse to replace the C-position candidate.

To put it bluntly, there are so many members of Nogizaka46. If they are not avid fans, they may not recognize them all.

"I know, I just want to tell you..."

Akimoto Yasu sighed sadly. He was a veteran in the entertainment industry and had experienced similar situations.
