Tokyo bubble life

Hibari Misora, the "Showa national singer", belongs to the Yamaguchi-gumi Kogyo Department, the original Kobe Entertainment Society.

Kobe Entertainment Club owns many popular singers in Japan, including Mitomoya Mihashi, Misora ​​Mikoto, Eri Yumi, Yukimura Mikoto, Kasuga Hachiro, Omi Toshiro, etc.

It can even confront the industry association of all private radio stations in Japan (Japan Private Broadcasting Federation) and make this national organization bow its head.

Hibari Misora ​​has had a close relationship with the third generation of the Yamaguchi-gumi since his debut. He is also the first artist of the Kobe Entertainment Club and the most profitable performing singer of the Kobe Entertainment Club. His two younger brothers are even the middle and senior management of the Yamaguchi-gumi.

In short, this national singer has a great influence on the Yamaguchi-gumi, and even the fourth generation successor can talk about it.

"Brother Kaede, do you know Misora ​​Hibari?" Naoki Nagayama said.

"Of course! Misora ​​Hibari is a singer I have heard since childhood! My grandfather also likes it very much!" Nagayama Kaede nodded immediately, "What's wrong?"

"If Misora ​​Hibari can speak for my grandfather, then the Yondaime must also consider it~"

Nagayama Naoki is confident in getting Misora ​​Hibari to speak. After all, at her age and level as an enka singer, what she hopes for most is fame both before and after her death. And "The Stream" is a song that can sublimate her singing career. It's in my hand!

"Is Naoki-san actually related to Misora ​​Hibari-san?!" Nagayama Kaede's eyes widened instantly.

Nagayama Naoki shook his head: "Of course not. But, there will be."

Naoki Nagayama didn't say much about Misora ​​Hibari. It was best to do all this without anyone noticing, but it had to be done quickly.

By the way, isn’t the garden in Kyoto about to be inspected? Take a chance and go to Kobe!

Due to an unexpected problem, Nagayama Naoki did not stay at the KTV for long, but drove back to Shuyou's studio again.

"Otomo-san! I'm here to find you again!" Naoki Nagayama rushed into the office and shouted directly to Otomo Yoshimura.

"What's wrong? You haven't contacted Tamori-san?" Fangcun Otomo looked at his president a little strangely.

"No, I've already had a round of communication with Tamori-san, and I don't think he will refuse." Naoki Nagayama said, "I came back for another thing."

"Otomo-san, do you have Misora ​​Hibari's contact information?"

"."

Yoshimura Otomo was used to being used as a phone book, but this time the person surprised him.

"Hibari Misora? What does Naoki Sangan want from her?"

Older people must know about Hibari Misora. When Otomo Yoshimura just graduated, Hibari Misora ​​was the goddess of all teenagers!

"There's something wrong, Otomo-san, don't you?"

".I hope so too."

Everyone knows the phone number of Kobe Entertainment Club, but there is really no personal contact information for Hibari Misora! After all, Misora ​​Hibari already belongs to the category of singer.

"That's troublesome. I'm really anxious to meet her~ I think there is a song that suits her very well."

"This" Fangcun Dayou put down what he was doing and began to think deeply. After a while.

"Maybe we can contact Kobe Entertainment Club directly, Naoki-san." Yoshimura Otomo said, "Naoki-san is already a famous music composer. If we invite him in the form of cooperation, Kobe Entertainment Club should also be willing to do so. Agreed."

"Is that okay? But I want to meet Hibari Misora."

"Then make a request. The creator hopes to have an interview with Hibari Misora."

Nagayama Naoki nodded: "Then let's try it first. If it doesn't work, I will find other ways."

The entertainment industry is a circle, and there will always be people who know each other. For example, Misora ​​Hibari's first movie was produced by Shochiku Pictures. I think Kobayashi Masaki should know the director of that movie. Another example is Kadokawa Haruki, who is the director of Kadokawa Pictures. The boss should also have Misora ​​Hibari’s contact information.

"Hi!" Yoshimura Otomo nodded, "But when Naoki-san goes to meet you, you must take me with you!"

".Okay~" I didn't expect Otomo Fangcun to be star-chasing!

While Yoshimura Otomo checked the phone number to contact him, Naoki Nagayama, who had nothing urgent to do, wandered into the editing room.

Opening the door, there were actually five or six people hiding in the originally small editing room, and it felt very crowded even when I turned around.

"Shuichi-san? Masataka-kun! How is your editing going?" Nagayama Naoki stood at the door and asked the two people at the end.

"Naoki-san?" Komori Masataka turned around, and the moment he saw Nagayama Naoki, his eyes seemed to light up, "Naoki-san, are you also here to help with editing?"

"Of course not!"

Naoki Nagayama's cruel words instantly left Masataka Komori with only desolation in his eyes. However, Nagayama Naoki continued:

"Just to see your progress and then find someone."

"Our progress is almost as planned!" Itou Shuichi turned around, looked at Nagayama Naoki and said firmly, "We will definitely be able to release it on time by the end of July!"

"That's good! I'm just a dad!" Seeing that the atmosphere in the editing room seemed a bit wrong, Nagayama Naoki chose to retreat temporarily, "Kijima-kun, please come out."

Kijima Xu stood up in the corner and walked out silently.

A strange junior student who was sitting next to him suddenly trembled. When did someone sit next to him? !

After the small door was closed, Itou Shuichi was also a little confused:

"Kijima-kun, have you been editing with us?"

Komori Masataka nodded. He had just received the selected materials from Kijima Kyor: "Of course, it seems that they have always been there!"

".No impression at all." Itou Shuichi shook his head, "No wonder I feel that the work efficiency of the four of us is higher than I remember."

Komori Masataka had a sad face:

"Shuichi-san, my work efficiency is indeed very high, but it can't be compared with when Naoki-san was here! And our current editing work seems to be stuck in a bottleneck. Do you really not want Naoki-san's help?"

"Absolutely not!" Itou Shuichi said firmly, "Masataka-kun, do you want Naoki-san to help you with all your future movies? Do you want to do it with "Hot Blood High School 2" as well? Then why are we directors? We Get rid of Naoki-san!"

".but editing"

"Don't worry, we have two months to edit this time! I'm confident that after breaking through the bottleneck, we will be able to release it by the end of July!"

"All right."

On the other side, Kijima Xu followed Nagayama Naoki to the corridor.

"Kijima-kun, how many people have you found for the filming team of "The Summer of Kikujiro"?" Nagayama Naoki asked about the formation of the team. He asked Kyun Kijima to do it when "Love Will Stop" was still being filmed. Started to pull people.

"." Kijima Kyon was silent for a moment, "Naoki-san, I only invited Sakata Koaki and Obara Miguel, who often collaborate with me."

"Why are there only two?" Nagayama Naoki was puzzled, "Where are the others?"

Kijima Xu was silent for a moment, and his tone was very complicated: "Except for the two of them who can remember, the others clearly agreed the day before, but couldn't remember it when I asked the next day."

Nagayama Naoki looked at the tearless expression on Kijima Xu's face and understood what was going on. Kijima Kyon's sense of presence is low, and he is really about to become a special power.

Fortunately, there are "special" people such as Komori Masataka, Sakata Kongaki, Obara Miguel, and myself who can remember him, otherwise he would be so lonely in this world!

He patted Kijima Xu's shoulder: "Kijima-kun, actually I have something I have wanted to ask for a long time. Didn't your parents ignore you?"

Kijima Xu's face became even more miserable: "I heard that I was forgotten in the nursery after I was born and the nurse remembered me because I cried because of hunger."

"this"

Alas. Forget it, this guy is really miserable.

"Kijima-kun! Do your best! I will definitely make a movie about you in the future! Let you be remembered by everyone!"

"Thank you."

After sending Kyū Kijima back to the editing room, Naoki Nagayama began to make plans.

"Summer of Kikujiro" is expected to start filming in June or July, and Naoki Nagayama decided to form his own filming team.

In addition, now that the lead actor Takeshi Kitano has agreed, some supporting roles can also be found, especially the little boy. Who should be cast?

When he returned to the office, Yoshimura Otomo said:

"I have already contacted the people from the Kobe Entertainment Club, but Hibari Misora ​​is performing, so I don't expect to be contacted until tonight. So there may not be any news until tomorrow."

"Ha, I'm not too anxious."

Discussions on the Yamaguchi-gumi side will take some time, and there will be a chance before the fourth generation officially takes the name.

"But Otomo-san, which agency do you usually find child stars in the entertainment industry?"

"Children?" Yoshimura Otomo responded, "Usually at the Japan Central Children's Theater Office. However, other offices also train them piecemeal."

"Naoki-san, are you looking for a young actor?"

"Yes, "Kikujiro's Summer", currently, there are no children around me who can act," Naoki Nagayama said, "It's a pity that Itou Kai is a daughter."

The last time "Midnight Ring" had Yi Tang Jiayi making a cameo appearance.

"Then we can communicate with the Japan Central Children's Theater Office, get the information and conduct an audition." Yoshimura Otomo said.

"Okay~ It's best to finish it before the end of this month." Nagayama Naoki said, "By the way, Otomo-san, as well as other supporting actors in "Kikujiro's Summer", please see if there are any in our office who can appear. If not, Just come to the selection meeting again.”

"Hey! I got it!"

Later, Hibari Misora ​​received a call from her agent.

"Naoki Nagayama?"

The name her agent said made her a little strange. Being in the entertainment industry, she had naturally heard of Naoki Nagayama's name, a music composer, a well-known director, a best-selling author, etc., especially since this was the time when scandals were very popular. .

However, Misora ​​Hibari never thought that she would have any connection with him. After all, in recent years, she has basically focused on her singing career and has basically not participated in movies.

"What does he want from me?"

"It is said that there is a song that I think is very suitable for Hibari Misora, so I took the liberty to call you and want to meet you." The manager said on the phone.

"A song? Didn't Naoki Nagayama compose pop songs? When did he start to enter singing?" Hibari Misora ​​didn't think that his manager was lying to him or Naoki Nagayama was lying to her, it was just pure confusion.

"So, do you want to see him?"

"Then let's meet him~ He's a handsome guy anyway~" Hibari Misora ​​was born in 1937 and is now 47 years old. He has a straightforward personality and dares to love and hate. He is at the age when he is interested in young fresh meat.

"." The agent on the other side of the phone didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Sister Yunque, please don't ruin your image in the eyes of outsiders!"

"Hey, hey, I'll pay attention~"

"Then, I will arrange a time to meet!"

That night, Naoki Nagayama, who returned to Yamazakuin, was also on the phone with Akina Nakamori.

"Why did Naoki-san suddenly appear on "It's Okay to Laugh" today?"

Akina Nakamori, who was asked by her office to avoid the limelight recently, was unable to see her boyfriend directly after get off work, so she could only talk on the phone in her apartment with her phone in hand.

"To save the situation, I originally went to invite him, Tamori-san, to participate in "Music Station". We just met him temporarily." Nagayama Naoki explained briefly, "But Akina, "Music Station" can probably be confirmed. If it’s going to be a show, why don’t we just decide on a dish as the theme?”

"I?"

Akina Nakamori sat cross-legged on the sofa, with the phone placed in the crook of her legs. She changed into home clothes and tied up her hair. If it weren't for her exquisite face, she would be no different from any other ordinary girl.

"But isn't "Music Station" based on the charts?"

"I have confidence in my Akina!" Naoki Nagayama said, "The new song "Ten Commandments" will definitely be on the list!"

"Hey~~~hehe~~" the voice on the microphone couldn't help but be happy.

"Besides, isn't there a small program before the show? We are going to shoot a short film in the singer's hometown." Naoki Nagayama said, "It must have been a long time since Akina returned to Kiyose? It's just a good opportunity to take a look!"

This suggestion spoke to Akina Nakamori's heart. Due to her busy work schedule, she has only been home a handful of times in the three years since her debut. Most of the time, she went home to see her mother, and even her brothers and sisters were rarely seen.

"Naoki-san, will you come home?"

"Definitely!" Naoki Nagayama thought of the seemingly small house, "You can go in to shoot, or you don't have to go in, Akina will decide!"

".Hmm~" Nakamori Akina held up the microphone and hesitated. She didn't know if her mother Chieko would want to appear on the scene, but another idea appeared in her mind.

"Will Naoki-san accompany you during this filming?"

Nagayama Naoki smiled: "Of course! How could I miss this first shooting!"

"That means you can see Naoki-san all day long!" Akina Nakamori in the apartment suddenly became happy.

"Well, I also want to see where Akina grew up~"

"How cunning, I have never seen the place where Naoki-san grew up!"

"There is a chance~"

The next hour turned into another goosebump-inducing couple conversation, but it sounded just right for a couple in love.

Until the end, Naoki Nagayama talked about the recent arrangements:

"Tomorrow I'm going to Kyoto to see the gardens over there, and then I'll go see Misora ​​Hibari on the way."

"Hibari Misora?!" The voice on the microphone suddenly became louder. Akina Nakamori is a fan of Hibari Misora. "Is Naoki-san going to see Hibari Misora? Why?"

"Well, I composed a song before, and I think it's very suitable for her to sing." Naoki Nagayama didn't tell Akina about the Yamaguchi-gumi, but just said vaguely, "There are some other things."

But at this time, Akina Nakamori didn’t notice:

"I really want to go too!!! I really want to meet Misora ​​Hibari!"

"As a singer, Akina should have a chance, right?" Nagayama Naoki was curious, "Aren't there so many awards? There are also red and white singing events."

"But...none of them said anything."

In a large-scale awards ceremony, each module is very separated, including performing songs and pop songs, and even the rehearsals are not in the same building.

"Haha, we are all in the entertainment industry, so there are always opportunities." Naoki Nagayama comforted him.

"."

Akina was still lost for a while, and then she seemed to have a good idea again.

"Naoki-san, please help me get a signed record!"

"Eh?"

"No! One piece is not enough. Mom also likes Misora ​​Hibari! I want two!"

"Forehead"

"Grandma also likes autumn bean sacks! Please help me get three!!!"

"."

How come everyone is a fan of Hibari Misora!
