Tokyo bubble life

The temperature in summer is still very high, and the cicadas have been chirping non-stop since the morning.

However, Naoki Nagayama felt very refreshed. He sweated hard after playing basketball for a few hours yesterday afternoon. He also had a good sleep with his beautiful girlfriend in his arms at night. All the stress that had accumulated in his heart for several days disappeared. .

What kind of butterfly effect, what kind of script changes, enjoy the moment and live well to live up to this extra life experience.

Besides, you already have such a high starting point. No matter how you continue to mess around, it’s impossible to be worse than before~

As usual, Akina was sent to the car, but Yutaro and Nyaotaro were still clinging to their master as they were last night, feeling inexplicably anxious~

"Is that cicada on the cherry tree too annoying?" Nagayama Naoki touched the cat and dog's head and comforted him, "When I come back in the afternoon, I will bring back the sticky stick and catch it!"

When the replies from Wang Wang and Meow Meow came, Nagayama Naoki thought they had understood and went out feeling relieved.

Today I am going to attend Shizuka Kudo's first concert with Shuyu. Yoshimura Otomo and the others have prepared a bus at the studio and are going to take relevant people with them.

In the light blue sky, thin clouds were torn into strips of clouds by the wind. If it weren't for the wrong color, it would have made people think that the Stars and Stripes were hanging in the sky.

"Strange clouds~" Nagayama Naoki pushed up his sunglasses, but didn't take it seriously and continued to add fuel to the fire.

The strong wind blows on the body, making the shirt whistle, and even the hair feels pulled. However, the heat is taken away, and the bursts of coolness make people feel very comfortable.

The cosmos in the park is in full bloom. Among the purples and pinks, white flowers are dotted, and the yellow stamens give people a colorful feeling.

The green leaves of the tall trees are lush and dense, leaving only sparse gaps for sunlight and mottled shadows between the trees.

The land near the root of the tree is full of low-growing flowers. There are no leaves on the emerald-like stems, but there is a bright red flower on top. The thin stamens are also red, and the bright red covers the whole city. It’s both mysterious and beautiful under the shade.

The reinforced concrete buildings are full of vitality and vitality because of the embellishment of these plants.

When we arrived at the studio, we saw several cars parked at the door.

"Naoki-san, morning~"

Xing Jiahua still smiled and greeted Nagayama Naoki.

"Hana-chan, good morning~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Looks like the people who are going to the concert have already arrived~"

"Hey, Kawahara-san and the others are ready and ready to go at any time."

"Ha, that's good~ Hana-chan is going?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"I have to be on duty here~" Xing Jiahua said with a smile.

Nagayama Naoki leaned next to the front desk, smiled and joked: "If Hana-chan wants to go, I can tell Otomo-san to give you half a day off and take you with me~"

"Hahaha~ No one is doing that job~" Xing Jiahua covered her mouth and laughed, and then said, "Naoki-san is in a good mood today~"

"I'm in a good mood every day~" Naoki Nagayama nodded to the employee who just came in.

Xing Jiahua said: "Zhi Shusang has always looked very worried the past few days~"

"???Have it?"

"have!"

"."

Nagayama Naoki really didn't notice that his strangeness was so obvious.

"Haha, it looks like I still have to continue practicing. If Mount Tai collapses in front of me without changing my expression, I still can't achieve it~"

"Not even close." Xing Jiahua smiled~

After chatting at the front desk for a while, Naoki Nagayama went to the editing room first, checked the progress of editing, and assigned tasks to Kyū.

With this week's full attention, the main plot of "Kikujiro's Summer" has been basically cut. The next thing is to complete the work, as well as adding subtitles, opening and ending credits and other trivial matters. All these need to be checked by Naoki Nagayama. .

So he also changed from the main editing labor force to the boss who squeezes his subordinates~

"Otomo-san." When he returned to the office, he asked Yoshimura Otomo, "When will we set off?"

"Half an hour"

Yoshimura Otomo looked at the clock. It was nine o'clock. When they passed by, the concert was about to start. As a boss, you don’t need to make any preparations in advance.

"Otomo-san went drinking again yesterday?" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile.

"Yeah, just socializing."

His current connections in the entertainment industry, Fangcun Dayou's, are based on drinking and socializing.

"Xiu Yi-san isn't coming back today?"

"He's out until the end of the month."

The plot of Itou Shuichi's "Blue Sea" is relatively simple, but there are many outdoor scenes, which makes shooting very time-consuming.

Yoshimura Otomo took out several poster design drafts from his hand: "Naoki-san, look at it, this is the effect of the promotional poster for "Kikujiro's Summer". The trailer you gave before has also been arranged to be shown on TV. play time."

"Ah, it's about to be released~"

Naoki Nagayama took the poster and read it. This was already the last wave of publicity before the release.

"No problem." Naoki Nagayama nodded. Today is the 14th, and in about a week it will be the 25th, the same time for the preview and premiere.

"Have all the media and guests invited on the day of the screening made arrangements to send out invitation letters?"

"Hi~"

We chatted nonchalantly about work, and soon it was time to set off.

The venue for Kudo Shizuka’s concert is a live house in Shinjuku.

When Naoki Nagayama walked in, the scene was already filled with fans who came to watch. Unexpectedly, even though it was still a working day, Shizuka Kudo already had so many loyal fans.

When there were more people, the place became noisy. Before the performance started, Naoki Nagayama and Mr. Fangcun stood beside the stage.

"There should be a thousand people at the scene?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the crowd.

"Not only. It should be more than that, but there are also media personnel invited here."

Yoshimura Otomo took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his head.

"I originally thought that Shizuka-chan had just started her solo career and would not be very famous. However, after appearing on TV during this period, especially Naoki-san's debut song "Sunshine Girl", Shizuka-chan became particularly popular."

"By the way, Shizuka-chan is now positioned as a sunshine girl."

"Hahaha, there is such a thing~" Nagayama Naoki laughed.

In memory, Shizuka Kudo should be famous as a "rebellious cool girl", but now she is probably still young, and she can't look cool no matter how she looks. Rebellion is also seen as lively.

The two met with Masami Inada, who was in charge of the coordination, at the venue, but they did not disturb the band and other staff at the venue, not even Shizuka Kudo, just to keep them in the best condition.

When the concert officially started, Shizuka Kudo walked briskly onto the stage in a white dress.

"Mina-san, good morning~"

The energetic and clear voice made the scene excited all of a sudden. Naoki Nagayama saw that many fans had begun to shout.

"Thank you everyone for coming to my solo concert~" Shizuka Kudo waved her hands on the stage, "Today is a very nice day, the sun is shining~ It's really a good day to go out~"

"Next, I will give you a song "sunshine girl"~"

"

Make up, and dressed, Are you ready to go?

Weather is great, it's your holiday

We gotta party all day long~

"

As the lights hit, everyone's eyes also focused on Kudo Shizuka. Listening to the high-pitched, clear and distinctive voice, Naoki Nagayama seemed to see a person who wore sunglasses even if the sun was harsh in the summer. The little girl puts on beautiful makeup and goes out to the party happily~

The atmosphere at the scene was once again aroused, with simple melody and catchy lyrics. Naoki Nagayama saw some older fans in the audience with aunty smiles on their faces and clapping their hands to the rhythm~

Even Yoshimura Otomo next to him was no exception.

To measure the quality of a concert is not to look at its attendance or peripheral sales. This is from the organizer's perspective.

From the perspective of a viewer, a concert mainly depends on how well the singer sings and whether the atmosphere can be exciting.

At Shizuka Kudo's concert, her singing skills can only be said to be average, but the atmosphere at the scene was very cheerful.

As Shuyu's music director, Komuro Tetsuya's first album for Kudo Shizuka almost all selected cheerful songs, which kept the audience immersed in the cheerful atmosphere of the first concert.

From this point of view, Shizuka Kudo's first concert was already considered a success.

“Very good~”

Naoki Nagayama looked at the idol's expressiveness on stage, almost as good as Akina who had just debuted, and she was very relaxed. Maybe idols with potential have something in common in some aspects.

"Naoki-san, what did you say?" Otomo Fangcun asked, tilting his head.

"Nothing! I'm going out for a while~"

The sound of music and the voices of the audience made the scene a little noisy. Naoki Nagayama shook his hand and said that he wanted to go out and relax, while Otomo Yoshimura was immersed in the performance again.

When he walked to the door, the sun directly above made Nagayama Naoki realize that it was already noon.

It was the midday rush hour, and the road not far away was crowded with vehicles, and horns were honking one after another. The streets of Shinjuku were also full of people, and the hustle and bustle of cars was very lively.

The unfamiliar faces are full of enthusiasm for life.

This situation made Nagayama Naoki feel the vividness and vividness of reality again.

An inexplicable emotion began to fill my chest. Thoughts were surging in my mind, as if something was about to burst out.

"As expected, it is now."

Muttered something in his mouth, Nagayama Naoki was already very familiar with this kind of omen. It must be this touching emotion that touched a certain memory in his subconscious, making him think of something.

And this time seems to be a grand expression of the messy emotions that have been hidden in my heart for more than a week. The release of mental pressure during this period will definitely remind me of a lot of things!

Try your best to calm down and wait quietly for memories to emerge

Sudden!

A feeling of heart palpitations came~

Then my head suddenly felt waves of dizziness~

Nagayama Naoki thought he was about to recall some particularly complicated memories, and silently waited for the memory impact to arrive.

But at this moment.

Suddenly there was a "crash" sound from the side,

Then there was a "bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang."

The drinks on the counter at the entrance of the livehouse suddenly fell off! Bottles fell to the floor and hit other furniture.

Then there was a "pop" sound.

The neon sign of the shop on the street shook and fell down!

"Bang bang~"

Several pieces of wall covering fell from the office building next to it! ! !

The next thing I heard was pedestrians shouting on the street:

"Earthquake, earthquake! Run!"

Only then did Naoki Nagayama react!

My dizziness was actually due to the vibrations of the earthquake.

Neon people are very vigilant against earthquakes. In a short time, everyone found a strong support corner and avoided it with pale faces.

The ground cracked during the shaking, telephone poles and traffic signs fell over, and some old houses even squeaked and collapsed.

Nagayama Naoki also quickly found a place to hide!

But at this moment, it seemed that in response to the sudden earthquake, emotions of shock and fear came to mind.

The sea of ​​subconsciousness that was already ready to stir suddenly stirred up waves!

"Why at this time!!!"

This thought flashed through my mind

Rapid drum beats ring in my ears

The bass sounds like a rapid heartbeat

A blast of electronic keyboard chords.

Then there is the human voice like the explosion of a nuclear bomb

"

love-same-CRIER caress-save-LIAR

Aid-St.-Rising HELL

I'll-ness Reset-Endじゃない Burst

Don't-生-War Lie-Soldier-War-World

"

"aLIEz". Nuclear Explosion Divine Song

Japanese, English, German.

It's so confusing that it looks like the lyrics were scrawled on the keyboard with your face.

Strong rhythm, intense emotional conflict, and powerful high-pitched female voice

This background music that is used in various explosive animation clips will make anyone who hears it for the first time full of doubts and be attracted by the strong sense of movement!

If you don’t understand the lyrics clearly, put it aside and tell me, is this a song praying for peace? ! !

Are you sure you don't want someone to press the nuclear bomb launch button? ! !

Lyrics full of confusion emerged in Nagayama Naoki's mind one by one!

"ふらついた思通りだ"

"Eyes-Hate-War"

"A-Z Looser-Krankheit-Was IS das?"

Japanese and English are somewhat easy to speak, but German really stumped Nagayama Naoki, forcing his brain to search for memories related to German from his subconscious memory.

So "Empire Downfall", "The Pianist" and "The Reader".

Several German-language movies also began to come to mind.

I watched "Downfall" because of Hitler, "The Pianist" was recommended, and "The Reader" was purely for the name of Kate Winslet.

A large amount of memories poured out, making Nagayama Naoki's brain unable to issue instructions, and his whole body was unable to move for a while~

At this moment, the animation clip using "aLIEz" as the editing background music also appeared in my mind

All kinds of fragmented animation scenes burst into my mind, making my mind feel like mush.

Standing at the door of the livehouse, Nagayama Naoki was like a little ghost immobilized by a body-holding technique, standing still in the violently shaking environment! ! !

"Get out of the way!!!"

The exclamations from the outside world made Naoki Nagayama wake up briefly. He focused his eyes ahead and saw the person hiding under the street tree on the other side of the street shouting at him!

"Get out of the way!!"

"Avoid" Nagayama Naoki's thoughts were like a buffered video, one after another, "Avoid what?"

"Up there!!!" the man pointed at Nagayama Naoki's head and shouted.

"above."

It took Nagayama Naoki two seconds to understand what he meant, and he subconsciously looked up

The neon sign of the livehouse was shaking in front of the door, and it started to loosen up.

"Ah Bai!!"

It's going to fall! !

Only then did Nagayama Naoki feel the danger and wanted to hide away, but his body was not obedient at all. Amidst the strong shaking and the chaotic memories in his mind, he was like a drunken man. Why? I can’t move either! ! !

As the squeaking sound became louder and louder, Nagayama Naoki reluctantly raised his head.

All I saw was a shadow coming.

"boom!"

"Wow~"

"puff"

Nagayama Naoki only felt his head seem to shake a little, and then the originally chaotic memories in his mind turned into a ball of mush.

Until it was pitch black.

"It seemed like I hit my head. But it didn't hurt at all."

In the chaotic thoughts, such an idea actually came up.

On September 14, 1984, a magnitude 6 earthquake occurred in Neon Tokyo and Kyoto, causing some buildings to collapse and causing countless economic losses but less human losses.

An earthquake measuring six on the Richter scale was not too big for Neon. After a period of chaos, Tokyo, which was no stranger to earthquakes, began orderly post-disaster rescue work.

Naturally, the people inside the Livehouse walked outside immediately. Kudo Shizuka's first concert was forced to end, but fortunately no one was harmed.

Yoshimura Otomo pulled Kudo Shizuka and other staff behind him, and walked out at the end. He saw a group of people gathered around the door. Some of the reporters invited over were taking photos with their cameras. Looking from the gap between the crowd Arrived, someone fell to the ground.

As the top person in charge of the organizer, Yoshimura Otomo naturally stepped forward immediately:

"Who's hurt?"

"Someone was hit by a falling sign."

"ah?!"

Fangcun Dayou became even more anxious when he heard this. If something went wrong at this concert, even if it was a natural disaster, they would still have to bear some responsibility!

He pushed through the crowd and walked to the middle, where he saw the accident scene. The signboard, which was not big to begin with, had been carried to the side, and the man lying on the ground...

"Naoki-san!!!"

"Naoki-san!! What's wrong with you?! Naoki-san, wake up!"

Yoshimura Otomo suddenly panicked. The person on the ground turned out to be Nagayama Naoki! ! ! He immediately wanted to lift Nagayama Naoki's body!

But someone with some medical knowledge stopped him:

"It seems that the brain has been hit. It is not advisable to move at this time!! It may cause secondary injury!"

"What should we do?! What should we do?! Naoki-san Naoki-san."

Fangcun Otomo couldn't reach out or retract. He was anxious and at a loss, so he could only keep asking questions.

"Wait for the ambulance to come and let the professionals help him!!"

This sentence allowed Yoshimura Otomo to clarify his thoughts a little. He took a few deep breaths to calm down his excitement. He finally found the decisiveness he had accumulated for half his life.

"Kawahara Takeharu!!" He shouted to his subordinates.

"Hi!" Takeharu Kawahara immediately ran to the side.

"Go call an ambulance!!"

"Hi!"

"Everyone from other tree friends, come here!" Otomo Fangcun looked at the people around him and the media personnel who were taking photos, and took a deep breath, "You guys, before the ambulance comes, surround Zhi Shusang. , don’t let anyone else move him.”

"Get a parasol!"

"Say hello to the incoming media!"

"Evacuate the concertgoers!"

"Look around to see if there is anyone in need of rescue!"

"."

The instructions were given out in an orderly manner one by one. Seeing his employees starting to maintain order and rescue the injured, Yoshimura Otomo was anxious, but he could only wait for the arrival of the ambulance.

At this time, some reporters who only wanted traffic but no conscience had already called the newspaper.

"The Tokyo earthquake, the famous director, writer, and musician Naoki Nagayama was injured and fell into a coma."

This news spread like lightning among the media in Tokyo!

Let me explain, it is definitely not about following hot topics. In fact, this plot was decided a long time ago, and it is a foreshadowing of the climax~

After the earthquake in Japan at the beginning of the year, I was obsessed with the plot for more than a week, just to avoid using the natural disaster as a gimmick.
