Tokyo bubble life

It seems that when you leave Tokyo, you also leave behind the rainy weather. On the highway between Tokyo and Kyoto, the sun is shining brightly, making people feel like summer.

The black Toyota Century was speeding toward Kyoto. The passenger window was open, and a white dog opened its mouth wide and drove in the strong wind, refusing to shrink in even if it couldn't open its eyes.

"Silly dog." Nagayama Naoki glanced sideways and couldn't help but complain.

We agreed that if we went to Kyoto, we would take Yutaro with us, and he kept his promise~

"Naoki-san, what did you say?" the voice came from the back seat.

"Silly tape, it's nothing."

Sitting in the back seat was Yoshimura Otomo. In the morning, he got the news from the Kobe Entertainment Club that Hibari Misora ​​could meet Naoki Nagayama in the afternoon. He immediately turned down an event and dealt with the matter at hand, delaying the delay. Then we walked onto the highway with Naoki Nagayama.

"Naoki-san, do you think my hairstyle is okay?" Yoshimura Otomo asked with some anxiety, "When I go to see Misora ​​Hibari-san, will I be rude?"

Taking a look in the rearview mirror, Yoshimura Otomo was wearing a high-end suit. The few circles of hair on his head were neatly combed and seemed to be smeared with some kind of hair oil, which made the middle look increasingly shiny.

“The hair oil you use is Stankang, right?”

Nagayama Naoki complained silently in his heart, but he still said in a dignified manner:

"Well, Otomo-san, that's great~"

But Yoshimura Otomo in the back seat is still restless. Now he is the head of a group company with a net worth of billions, and he still looks like a teenager chasing stars in junior high school.

The drive from Tokyo to Kyoto takes about four hours. If it were not for Taro, Nagayama Naoki would definitely choose to take the Shinkansen. However, when arriving in Kyoto, he would probably have to take a taxi and change trains, which would be very troublesome.

Along the way, he and Yoshimura Otomo took turns driving. When they arrived in Kyoto, it was almost noon. Near the mountainous area of ​​Sakyo District, Nagayama Naoki drove directly towards his courtyard.

"Naoki-san, your garden is near Rurikoin Temple?" Yoshimura Otomo has been to Kyoto and visited various attractions.

"Yeah, right near the bottom of the mountain."

Naoki Nagayama looked farther away, and it seemed that he could already see the low mountain in his yard.

Soon, after passing a long wall, Naoki Nagayama found the side entrance of the courtyard. Takashi Honma and Naoya Sakata were already waiting in the bathroom at the side entrance.

"Naoki-san!"

"Homama-san, Sakata-san, you've been waiting for a long time~" Nagayama Naoki shook hands with the two of them, and then looked at the interior of the courtyard. Sure enough, there were some more changes than last time, "The courtyard is finally completed. It's really hard work, you two." ”

"This is what we should do!" Takashi Honma said respectfully, "Naoki-san, please go in and check the results, and then we will nail up the signs in the courtyard!"

The nameplate is actually the house number. Generally speaking, at the door of a house in the city, there will be a small sign with the last name written on it. It is used by the postal service to distinguish the households for delivery. However, if it is something special, you can also not use the last name, such as the area is so large. The courtyard of the Red Fish Courtyard~

"Hey, let's go in then~" Nagayama Naoki greeted Yoshimura Otomo, and then followed Takashi Honma and Naoya Sakata to walk inside.

As summer approaches, the temperature has already climbed towards 20 degrees Celsius. However, under the influence of the low mountains, the entire courtyard is still quiet and quiet, and the temperature is only about ten degrees Celsius, still like spring.

Lush green plants fill the eyes, with different postures and faint order. Nestled among them are rockeries, strange rocks, and stone lanterns that scare deer. Stone Buddhas full of Zen can be seen everywhere.

A clear stream flows out from among the green bamboos on the low mountain. At first, you can still hear the sound of gurgling water. When you enter the courtyard, it suddenly becomes silent again and merges into the gentle pool next to the antique red and white dormitory. A winding corridor continues all the way. Extending to the depths of the pool, there is an exquisite pavilion.

From time to time, a red carp appears in the rippling water, and then quickly sinks into the water, leaving behind circles of ripples.

Looking further into the courtyard in the distance, there is a maple tree leaning against a low mountain. It has not yet reached autumn, but it is still green. The various green plants on the other side fill the background of the courtyard, and are decorated with flowers of various shapes. In the courtyard, rocks and grass form a beautiful natural picture.

"Naoki-san, what a beautiful courtyard!" Fangcun Otomo admired it all the way, and the envy on his face was beyond words. "Did you buy it last year?"

"Yes~" Nagayama Naoki took a deep breath, and the fresh air flowed into his lungs, as if his whole body was purified.

Natural oxygen bar, maybe it’s not an IQ tax~

"I would also like to thank Honma-san and Sakata-san for their hard work."

"Where is it~" Takashi Honma's face was also very happy. This courtyard should be regarded as some of the best works in his life.

The dormitory hall with the "Auspicious Royal Immortal" hanging on it has not changed much from the last time, but after cleaning, the clean environment is still very comfortable.

The housekeeping staff of the management agency come regularly to clean the house, and the gardening staff also come to take care of the greening of the courtyard. The annual service fee amounts to millions of yen.

Therefore, only rich people can afford to enjoy the courtyard!

Sitting in the living room of the dormitory, Nagayama Naoki and Yoshimura Otomo sat down to drink tea together. They let Yotaro out and let him run wild in the courtyard, and then chatted with Takashi Honma and Naoya Sakata.

"Naoki-san, the vacation home next to Lake Toya is about to be completed~" Naoya Sakata said, "If you have time, you can go over and have a look."

"Well, I'll find time later over there. I might be busy lately~" Nagayama Naoki nodded, and then talked about other things,

"The KTV in Tokyo has opened its third one, and Brother Feng is also very satisfied with Xin Haisang's abilities."

"That's her honor~" Takashi Honma said with a smile, "Xinhai-chan is inexperienced, but she still has a lot of aura in design~"

Nagayama Naoki continued: "But in the future, Brother Kaede's KTVs may open one by one and expand rapidly. In the second half of the year, I may have to trouble Honma-san to devote all his efforts!"

"Hey, that's what we should do."

In fact, Takashi Honma couldn't be more happy because that was the biggest order of the year! Maybe there will always be one next year!

"Yingtaro, stop looking! You can't catch me!"

When he was going to the main entrance to nail the watch, Naoki Nagayama saw the silly dog ​​next to the pool, staring intently at the koi in the water, as if he wanted to catch one.

"Woof woof!" Hearing his master's cry, Tailang shook his head and ran over.

Even though it had only been about half an hour of having fun in such a big yard, he was already sticking out his tongue and gasping for air.

Naoki Nagayama and several other people walked through the courtyard along the path and arrived at the main entrance of the courtyard. The main entrance with eaves was a little higher than the wall, but the simple wooden door only served to guard against gentlemen and not villains.

Naoya Sakata handed the carefully designed "Red Fish Garden" letter to Naoki Nagayama, with the texture of mahogany, traditional Chinese characters and the pattern of maple leaves.

Nagayama Naoki picked up the hammer and nails and nailed the house number on the doorpost of the main entrance. Next to it was the waterproof mailbox. Then he stepped back and took a look, nodding with satisfaction.

"The Red Fish Garden is finally settled! Let's see it again during the red leaf hunting. It should be very beautiful!"

Misora ​​Hibari's residence is not in Kobe, but in Rokurokuso Town, Ashiya City, a 20-minute drive from Kobe. As a diva-level enka singer who has been famous in Japan for decades, Misora ​​Hibari is naturally rich.

Not only does he own a house in Kobe, but he also owns real estate in Tokyo.

It took almost two hours to drive from Kyoto to Ashiya City. Today, I spent almost all of my time in the car. The dog had completely lost the excitement in the morning and lay down on the back seat to rest.

Sitting in the passenger seat was Otomo Yoshimura, who was pulling down the light shield and adjusting his collar through the mirror:

"Naoki-san, you're not wrinkled, are you?! Are you okay?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, he's very handsome!" Naoki Nagayama didn't know how many times he had been perfunctory.

Fangcun Dayou didn't stop until he arrived at a low-key single-family villa.

"Moses Moses, we are Shuyou's Otomo Yoshimura and Naoki Nagayama. We have made an appointment," Otomo Yoshimura said to the intercom at the door.

"Hi, come in!"

A voice came from the intercom, and then the door was opened, and Naoki Nagayama was able to drive into the parking garage.

After getting out of the car, I looked at the spacious yard and luxurious villas inside and sighed. Who said singers don't make money?

"Welcome." After the door of the villa opened, Misora ​​Hibari in a kimono was waiting at the entrance, while a servant who was also a nanny diligently held slippers.

"I'm sorry to bother you~"

Yoshimura Otomo tried his best to look calm and handed over the gift, while Naoki Nagayama naturally cooperated and gave up his position as the leader to satisfy his friend's wish.

"No, no, it's my honor to have Shuyou's Minister Fangcun and President Yongshan come."

Hibari Misora ​​said polite words and led the two people into the Japanese room. After the two parties sat down, Hibari Misora ​​looked at Naoki Nagayama and sighed:

"President Nagayama, you have been famous for a long time. Do you mind if I call you Naoki-san?"

"Mikora-san, you're welcome~" Nagayama Naoki felt that the aunt in front of him seemed very kind.

"Haha, Naoki-san is indeed very handsome~" Hibari Misora ​​smiled, "The news is all over the sky recently, so even a person like me who doesn't pay much attention to current affairs can see it~"

"Hehehe~ Impulsive~"

"So can Naoki-san really be able to compose songs all at once?" Hibari Misora ​​was very curious. Yesterday, she specifically inquired about various news about Nagayama Naoki.

"Hey, if inspiration comes to you, it will happen very quickly." Naoki Nagayama recognized this point directly.

"That's really enviable."

Yoshimura Otomo watched Misora ​​Hibari and Nagayama Naoki start chatting about music, and the conversation was very pleasant. For the first time, he regretted that he had not put too much thought into the music business. So I could only try my best to keep a calm face, and then drink hot tea cup after cup.

"Where do young people like Naoki-san usually go to spend time?" Misora ​​Hibari chatted happily, feeling that if he chatted more with Xiaoxianrou, he would look much younger.

"Recently, a new nightclub called KTV opened in Tokyo. I wonder if Misora-san has heard of it." Naoki Nagayama said.

"Oh? What kind of nightclub is it?"

"It is a nightclub where you can sing in a private room. You can sing along with the music while watching the screen and subtitles," Naoki Nagayama explained. "At the same time, you can also chat with friends, play games, etc."

"Oh? Is this like this?" Hibari Misora ​​became interested, and remembered that she heard her colleagues mention it when she was working, "Is there any singing?"

"Of course, there are all the songs registered with the Copyright Society." Naoki Nagayama said, "Speaking of which, I have a close relationship with the two newly opened companies."

"Does Naoki-san have a stake in it?" Misora ​​Hibari asked with a smile, "No wonder it is so recommended."

"Haha, it's my cousin's business." Naoki Nagayama paused and lowered his voice, "My cousin Kaede Nagayama is the grandson of Hayato Nagayama, leader of the Shizuoka Yamaguchi Group."

So that’s it, Misora ​​Hibari nodded, which means that the KTV business is related to the Yamaguchi-gumi. She was very happy for Naoki Nagayama's honesty. After all, she knew from the information she had inquired before that Naoki Nagayama had a Yakuza background.

"That's really a close relationship."

Misora ​​Hibari looked at Naoki Nagayama even more closely. His two biological brothers are both middle-level members of the Yamaguchi-gumi, not to mention Misora ​​Hibari's own relationship with the Yamaguchi-gumi. Now he looks at Nagayama Naoki as if he is his own junior.

After pointing out this relationship, Nagayama Naoki felt that today's conversation had been very long and it was time to get down to business.

"Mikora-san, actually I came here with a gift that I want to give to Misora-san." Naoki Nagayama gestured to Otomo Yoshimura who was silent next to him.

Yoshimura Otomo also woke up from a dream and quickly took out a piece of music score from his briefcase and handed it to Naoki Nagayama.

"This is a song I composed by accident before. I think it would be perfect if Misora-san sings it."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Hibari Misora ​​casually accepted the song. Although she was very happy while chatting, when it came to her singing career, she didn't think the young Naoki Nagayama would have any research on enka.

""The Continuous Stream"."

Looking at the title of the song, it felt like performing a song. Hibari Misora ​​continued to read it, and then his expression became more and more serious.

When I played it the second time, I even started humming it softly according to the music score.

When I sang it for the third time, I no longer cared about the two visitors opposite and sang to the beat.

As a singer who has been singing for decades, she immediately discovered the huge potential of the song "The Stream". This is a famous song that can be passed down in music history and is constantly being sung!

Nagayama Naoki and Yoshimura Otomo were just across the tea table, listening to Misora ​​Hibari's unfamiliarity and gradual familiarity. Even a cappella, Misora ​​Hibari, as a top singer, also sang the sincere emotions of this song.

After singing it several times, Misora ​​Hibari finally came back to her senses~

"A song like this," Hibari Misora ​​said with emotion in her tone, "should come to me when I die."

"Miss Misora ​​Hibari, what nonsense are you talking about!" Before Nagayama Naoki could say anything, Yoshimura Otomo immediately said it angrily. The middle-aged man's face turned red, "Miss Misora ​​Hibari will definitely live a long life!"

Hibari Misora ​​was stunned for a moment, as if she just now recognized Yoshimura Otomo, who had been silent all this time:

"Haha, thank you Fangcun-san for your kind words!"

After taking a few deep breaths to calm down her turbulent emotions, she looked at Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san, you said before that this was a gift for me?"

"Yes, Misora-san. If you count your life in detail, it is simply the history of Japanese music," Naoki Nagayama said, "It is simply a blend of life into the times."

"So I think it's perfect for Misora-san to sing this song."

Misora ​​Hibari pressed her hand on the music score on the table. As a great figure in the entertainment industry who has experienced decades of ups and downs, she would not accept other people's kindness easily.

Because any gift given by others must have a price behind it!

But

Naoki Nagayama’s gift is so delicious! ! !

With Misora ​​Hibari's vision, this song will surely take his singing career to the next level! The kind that will leave a name in history

With a slight exertion on his palm, Hibari Misora, who had always been decisive, actually fell into hesitation. Naoki Nagayama remained silent, waiting for the other party's decision.

After a long time, Misora ​​Hibari breathed out:

"Naoki-san just had a performance yesterday, and his energy was exhausted so much that he feels a little uneasy today."

"Hey, it's our fault for disturbing you." Nagayama Naoki immediately understood the meaning, took Yoshimura Otomo and said goodbye, "Please take a good rest, Misora-san."

"Private Marseille, Naoki-san, please come to your residence in Tokyo as a guest next time. I will treat you well!"

"Hi"

After Naoki Nagayama left the villa, Otomo Yoshimura asked:

"Naoki-san, just left like this?"

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

"But... it's a matter of cooperation."

"Didn't I tell you that the song is a gift? Besides, hasn't Misora-san already accepted it?"

"Eh?"

After the guests left, Misora ​​Hibari returned to the Japanese room and sat down. She looked at the music score on the low table and gently picked it up. She still didn't have the heart to send it back.

After thinking for a long time, she dialed the phone. On the other side was the personal phone number of Masahiro Ikegami, the head of the Kobe Entertainment Club:

"Moses Moses, this is Masahiro Ikegami."

"Chi Shang-san, it's me."

"Ah, Hibari-sama" Masahiro Ikegami was a little surprised, "Why did you call me suddenly?"

"Ikegami-san. Is there any news in the team recently related to Shizuoka's team leader Hayato Nagayama and the nightclub called KTV?"

From Naoki Nagayama’s previous remarks, Hibari Misora ​​quickly refined the key words

"Ah, I do know that." Masahiro Ikegami nodded immediately after hearing this, "Didn't the Yondaime Cup Consolidation Ceremony be held at the Taoka family before? It was at that time."

The office of Kobe Entertainment Club is in a small house next to Taoka Residence. Naturally, Masahiro Ikegami also heard a lot of news. He told the story about Hayato Nagayama being asked by some direct team leaders to release the KTV management rights during the meeting.

On the other side of the microphone, Hibari Misora ​​frowned slightly.
