Tokyo bubble life

Akira finally promised to give a New Year's gift in the couple's double act, and then fled the lounge in disgrace.

After the surprise episode ended, Akina happily shared her joy with Naoki Nagayama

"My mother and brother were invited to the award ceremony!" Sitting on the sofa, Akina excitedly hugged her husband's arm and put her head on his shoulder, "My mother and the others didn't tell me. They showed up so suddenly!"

Although the winners of the record awards will be revealed in advance, it is natural not to notify the winners of small things such as "surprises" in advance, so as not to ruin the atmosphere.

So when Akina's mother and brother walked onto the stage, it was indeed a surprise for Akina, and she almost broke her defense

"So." Naoki Nagayama smiled and leaned close to look into Akina's eyes, "Are you so excited that you cried like a child?"

"."

"That's all acting! Facial expressions!!"

Akina pounded her husband in shame and anger. Isn't it normal to cry when winning an award? ! Or it should be a necessary procedure!

How come in Naoki-san's mouth, they are just children!

"So where are Chieko-san and Minghao-san? Are they at the Budokan?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"Originally, I wanted to invite my mother to celebrate the New Year with me at Yamazakurain, but after they presented the award, they hurried back to Qinglai~" Mingcai was a little helpless, after all, there was a big family in Qinglai. Since they lived nearby, they all went to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.

After all, it's easy and lively. Chieko is Akina's mother, but she is also the mother of five other children~

The two talked in the lounge for a while until Ueda Maki knocked on the door and came in:

"Akina-chan, change into your stage clothes. Get ready to go on stage~"

"Ah~" It's still the Red and White Song Festival. Akina Nakamori heard this and began to hurriedly prepare for makeup. She would go backstage to wait later. "Naoki-san, are you waiting for me in the lounge?"

"I won't wait for Akina to go out. I'll go to the front and watch Akina's performance on stage~"

Naoki Nagayama said,

"Then we'll meet again after the bell rings!"

"Hi~"

Originally, she thought she would not be able to meet until after midnight, but she was very satisfied to see Naoki Nagayama before the Red and White Song Festival. They can be together again for a few hours. This New Year is so happy!

In the light of the stage lights, Naoki Nagayama once again hunched back to his seat, and hoped that his actions were not broadcast live by the satellite relay.

Nodding to the unfamiliar person next to him, Naoki Nagayama shifted his attention to the performance of the Red and White Songs Contest again.

After entering the second half, the Red Group and the White Group were already famous artists and stars. Naoki Nagayama happened to see his acquaintance Misora ​​Hibari on stage, singing the song "The Flowing River" written by him~

Although it seems to be a bit out of place with the festive atmosphere of the New Year, the original meaning of this song is not sad, but rather a kind of open-mindedness of having seen through the world. Listening to it in the New Year, it feels like a lot of things have happened this year~

After the Red Group, it was the White Group, and the powerful singers of the White Group made a solemn appearance.

Shinichi Mori sang the famous "Cape Erimo", a timeless song that made people seem to see the deep love that happened in Hokkaido again.

The music on the stage did not stop, and the singers' performances did not stop, from enka to rock, and then to the popular pop music today.

The white stage showed a variety of different colors under the illumination of the lights, and the actors' gorgeous costumes. It was colorful as if in a fantasy~

The lively confrontation made the New Year's atmosphere more lively, and the entire audience was in a joyful atmosphere~

This year-end drama that has been popular for decades is still at its peak, attracting the attention of the entire neon on this night.

Finally, it was Akina Nakamori's performance. Although it was not the finale, it was not far away.

Wearing an exotic black gauze skirt and a round high hat, Akina sang "Meu amoré" again on the stage. The lyrics were full of exotic styles. Like a passionate carnival dancer, she looked around the front row and finally found her lover~

"On the Carnival Street in Rio de Janeiro"

"Dancers with black pupils, sweating"

"Temptation, be tempted to revel~"

"My love."

The passionate singing made the audience sway to the beat, as if they were immersed in the illusion created by the song, enjoying the carnival atmosphere together.

But no one noticed that when Akina was singing, the direction she was looking at and the direction of her fingers at the end were all in the first row of the audience.

There, Naoki Nagayama held a small flag that he had found and waved it to the rhythm to cheer for his wife.

The happy time passed in a flash, and this year's red and white battle ended with the victory of the red team.

After all, in today's entertainment industry, female idols and female singers are at their peak, while male artists are in a state of lack of successors, and there are not many who can challenge one another.

In the end, a group of star artists and idol singers gathered on the big stage. For a moment, the whole stage seemed like a microcosm of the entertainment industry, and it was a gathering of stars.

"Mina-san, the last moment of Showa 60 has come. Next, let us witness the coming of the new year together!"

Under the calm voice of the host Kenji Suzuki, the TV screen switched to the bell tower of Sensoji Temple where the bell is about to ring 108 times!

"Ten, nine, eight, seven"

As the countdown progresses, temples throughout Tokyo have begun their annual bell ringing. Even in the NHK hall, it seems that the faint sound of bells can be heard.

"Dang, Dang, Dang"

The distant bells are ringing at certain intervals, and the sound is non-stop. It seems to be celebrating the arrival of the new year~

When the bells officially ended, the entire Red and White Song Festival was filled with endless applause and cheers. Fireworks and colorful strips fell from the roof, and the festive atmosphere reached its highest level.

Showa 61 has finally officially arrived!

It was already winter, and the cold night wind felt like ice cubes sliding across my face.

So when Naoki Nagayama and Akina went to the temple fair together, they wore bulging cotton clothes and a tengu mask that covered half of their faces. Naoki Nagayama did the same. The two of them looked as childish as children~

The two of them came out alone, allowing the hard-working managers to celebrate the New Year earlier~

The hood and mask completely hid Akina inside, and she wasn't worried about being recognized by the people at the temple fair, so she let herself go a little bit now.

"Naoki-san" Akina's voice changed into a child's voice and she pointed at the sweet potatoes roasted in the cold wind and said coquettishly, "I want to eat that! Buy it for me!"

"."

Naturally, Naoki Nagayama could only pay for the goods and then watched Akina holding it with cotton gloves with difficulty, and took a satisfied bite.

"Akina, there's no problem eating sweet potatoes." Nagayama Naoki took the opportunity to make a request, "But can you not speak in this weird tone?"

"Why? Isn't it cute?"

Akina asked with a smile, and then took another bite of the hot sweet potato, exhaling in the cold wind.

"But if people hear it, they will think that I am some kind of hentai."

Naoki Nagayama sighed. The passers-by who just passed him had already cast strange glances at him, perhaps thinking that he was some kind of lolicon or weirdo.

Yes, Akina's little one is wearing so many clothes, and she looks like a young student clinging to her side.

"Haha, what should I do?" Akina laughed, then smoothed the clothes on her belly, revealing the curvature of her waist and abdomen, "If I don't show my belly, others will know that I am pregnant, and they will know that I am not a student anymore."

".Others will think that I am a hentai who gets people pregnant."

"Hahaha~"

Akina laughed so hard that her branches trembled, but she refused to change her voice.

Also, I took three bites of the roasted oily sweet potato, and then threw the dish to Naoki Nagayama. He also said something like "It's delicious, Naoki-san can't miss it." Then he went to buy the sea bream with great interest. The fish is burned.

The New Year's Fair in Sensoji Temple is very lively. The lanterns at the Kaminarimon Gate extend all the way to the main hall. People come to make the earliest New Year's pilgrimage, visit the temple fair, watch performances, and eat snacks. The hustle and bustle is even unbearable. By this time it was early morning.

On the stage of the temple fair, there are even performances to honor the gods. Actors wearing witch costumes perform inside the temple, which still makes people feel like time and space are intertwined.

Nagayama Naoki and Akina strolled through Sensoji Temple together, then walked out of the Futenmon Gate, strolled around the shopping street, bought a lot of New Year's gifts, and then set off home.

Taxis are not easy to get during this time. They usually wait for young men and women coming out of nightclubs in places like Roppongi or Shinjuku.

However, with the 10,000-yen bill in his hand, Naoki Nagayama still grabbed a taxi, but even after getting in the car, Akina did not take off his mask, while Naoki Nagayama was wearing a mask.

The taxi driver was a talkative person. Seeing that the passenger was young and not short of money, he started chatting:

"Don't young people like the guests usually spend the New Year in nightclubs? How come they also come to Sensoji Temple?"

"Haha, are there many people in the nightclub?" Nagayama Naoki changed the subject without leaving a trace.

"Yes, bars, KTVs, and dance halls are full of young people coming out to play. For example, in Roppongi, I heard that there are drunk guys throwing money away."

The driver was already over middle-aged, and he was obviously a tough Showa man. He relied on hard work and hard work to support his family. When they were young, they were in a difficult time, but they were not as handsome as the young people today.

"The original disco in Takadanobaba has a long queue at the door until three o'clock in the morning every day. I don't know how they can be so rich and free."

"."

Suddenly hearing about the disco under his own name, Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised. Nakamori Akina next to him pinched his arm and turned his head, and saw the crooked eyes under the mask.

The disco is the place where the two of them first met~

"Maybe it's because the economy is developing now." Nagayama Naoki echoed, "It's easier to make money~"

"Yes, the stock market has risen so much now. I can't help but invest a little bit in it."

The driver seemed to be provoked into talking about sex, telling stories he had heard before.

"Speaking of which, there is a story circulating in the taxi shop. I wonder if you have heard of it."

"?What?"

"Do you know Naoki Nagayama?" the driver said, "the one who married Akina Nakamori."

"Ahem, I know a little bit."

"Yeah, his story is circulated in our taxi shop."

The driver's tone was a little erratic,

"I heard that that guy actually found out about the merger of two large companies, Shogun and Fujitsu, based on the frequency of taxi trips between the two companies while taking a taxi."

"Then rely on this to make a lot of money in the stock market!"

"It's really enviable. I've been driving a taxi for so many years, why haven't I discovered it? Maybe I can make a lot of money!"

"."

Nagayama Naoki felt that her arm was going to be swollen by Akina's pinch. She didn't speak in order not to be recognized, but her excitement made her use all her strength on her hands.

"This guy Nagayama Naoki must also be lucky."

"Yes, yes. I wonder when I will have better luck."

"." Nagayama Naoki heard Akina's suppressed laughter.

Fortunately, Chiyoda and Asakusa are not far away, so we arrived quickly, otherwise Akina might have failed. After stopping in front of Yamasakusa-in, the taxi driver was a little surprised:

"Stop here? There are actually houses nearby? I thought they were all parks."

"A studio turned dormitory."

Nagayama Naoki was a little perfunctory and got out of the car first, then passed to the other side to help Akina open the door and get out of the car. Then he went to pay the fare~

"What a good husband!" the driver sighed, then collected the fare, "Passenger-san, I wish you a happy New Year~"

"Hahaha, Happy New Year~"

Nagayama Naoki had already walked to Akina, but when he saw the taxi about to start, he suddenly impulsively walked to the car window and knocked on it.

"???" The driver looked at the passengers outside the window, very confused.

"Driver-san, didn't you say you hope for good luck?!"

"???"

"Today, your good luck has come!!!" Naoki Nagayama was wearing a mask, but his eyes seemed to be shining. "Starting from this year, the stock market and property market will have great luck in the next five years!!"

"If you have the courage, invest all your money here! Buy whatever you want, and it doesn't matter if you add leverage, but remember that you must take it out after five years!!!"

After saying this, Nagayama Naoki turned around, took Akina's arm, and walked slowly towards the Yamazakura Garden surrounded by short bamboos.

"???!!!"

The taxi driver looked confused. He silently put the car into gear and started.

Strange people suddenly said strange things during the New Year, which really makes me want to laugh.

The property market and stock market are indeed rising, so it is not impossible to invest money. But it must be taken out after five years? Is he a god? After making money, do you still want to take it out?

But that person’s eyes just now were very bright, and he didn’t look like he was lying.

".I did make a fortune at the end of this year. Maybe I can give it a try?"

"The worst thing is to take it back~"
