Tokyo bubble life

The third day of Showa 60 was a cloudy day, and it looked like it would snow~

Fangcun Dayou happily came to Shuyou’s studio~

After becoming famous, I went back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year. I don’t know if I had a party with my childhood playmate Bai Yueguang during my adolescence, but this middle-aged man must have had a great time and returned to Tokyo with a glowing face.

There are also employees on duty in the studio. Suzuki Yukari at the front desk has just graduated. In order to get generous overtime pay, he chose to be on duty during the Chinese New Year.

"Otomo-san, Happy New Year!"

Seeing one of the big bosses, the little girl was very happy and said New Year greetings.

"Happy New Year~"

Fangcun Dayou walked in with a smile on his face and greeted some employees who were also on duty during the New Year.

"Happy New Year~" "Thank you for your hard work~" "You can go on vacation soon!" "Just got daddy!" "."

After opening the office door, Yoshimura Otomo didn't feel anything unusual until he sat on the chair

"Um?"

The soft leather surface, just the right lumbar support, and comfortable and relaxed legs are something I have never felt on a solid wood chair before!

"Is this... a new chair?"

At this moment, Suzuki Yukari brought in the brewed coffee.

"Xingxia-chan, are we getting new chairs?" Yoshimura Otomo looked at his chair curiously, and then looked at the other two desks in the same office, both of which were the original chairs, "Why is it just me? One person changed?"

Suzuki Yuka smiled and said:

"Otomo-san, this seems to be a chair specially made by Naoki-san. It was sent to me at the end of the year as a New Year's gift!"

"New Year's gift?" Yoshimura Otomo leaned back, like a child receiving a new toy, "Haha, this guy Naoki-san."

Only now did he remember that Naoki Nagayama did say that he would get him an ergonomic chair some years ago.

"Why didn't they change theirs?"

"Naoki-san said that the two of them don't often sit in the office, so there's no need to change~" Suzuki Yuka replied.

"this"

Yoshimura Otomo thought for a moment, those two guys probably didn't spend even a week in this office in a whole year.

"Well, when we move to a new house, let's change them together!"

"Hi!"

"By the way, Xingxia-chan, bring me the list of companies that send flower baskets and New Year gifts at the end of the year." Yoshimura Otomo said to the little girl, "I'll see which ones I want to pay a return visit to."

"Hi!"

Neon’s New Year does not end just after the New Year. Before the New Year, there is a “New Year Party”, which is a year-end company celebration and drinking party; and after the New Year, there is also a “New Year Party”, where companies also have New Year greetings, parties, and drink wine.

The more parties you attend and the more drinks you drink, the better your professional connections will be as an individual and the greater your corporate influence will be on the company.

In short, the entire celebration atmosphere will last until the end of January, and then it will slowly end.

Neon Company’s financial report has to wait until April. There is a saying that because almost everyone is drunk in January, sober up in February, carefully organize the data in March, and report it in April.

As the Shuyou Group is becoming more and more influential in the entertainment industry, it has contacts with large and small firms. Although it cannot personally return visits to every company it visits, many big and prestigious firms still need to maintain relationships. .

"In addition to TV stations, Hori Productions, Johnny's, Yoshimoto Kogyo, and Kenin"

Yoshimura Otomo silently sketched out the companies he wanted to visit. Needless to say, the five major TV stations all needed to visit. Naturally, other large firms also needed him, the head of the company, to visit in person.

"But... Watanabe Office"

Fangcun Dayou was a little curious. This firm that was several years earlier than Shuyou actually came to visit?

I heard that it has opened branches in the United States. It is a company with strong development momentum, but the most important thing is to cultivate musicians and artists. There seems to be no connection with Shuyou Group, which focuses on cultivating idols.

Putting a question mark on this company, Yoshimura Otomo was not sure of their purpose for the time being, so he decided to wait until Naoki Nagayama and Shuichi Itou went to work.

"One, two, three, twelve."

Counting the companies he had to go to, Fangcun Otomo sighed, this is twelve meals of wine! At such an old age, I don’t know if I can handle it. No, this year I have to train a strong successor for daily management! !

With Naoki Nagayama's character, he definitely wouldn't be able to brag and drink with people every day. But if Shuichi Itou had a good character and knew how to socialize, he wouldn't have been shooting adult magazines for so many years!

"By the way, Naoki-san isn't still in his hometown, right?!"

Yoshimura Otomo complained silently, he even came to work!

At this moment, Nagayama Naoki was naturally not in Shizuoka. He came to the vacation house in Lake Toya.

When a group of people came here before, he never found a chance to enjoy the hot springs here. After all, in a place like a vacation home, one should be comfortable~

The sea of ​​flowers outside the door is naturally gone, and now only the remaining stems and leaves are left to spend the winter under the snow.

Nagayama Naoki was soaking comfortably in the outdoor hot spring pool on the first floor. The steaming hot spring flowed from the faucet into the bamboo frightened deer, and then poured into the stone bowl with a snap. Finally, It overflowed into the hot spring pool.

Outside the bamboo wall is a world of ice and snow, but inside the bamboo wall is a steaming pool. Soft music is playing in the room, and fruits and sake are placed on a wooden plate aside, and you can take a bite from time to time.

My little life was really pleasant!

Yantaro also came with us. Now he is playing in the low-temperature water area opposite. He dare not go to the high-temperature area to take a sauna.

Meowtaro, on the other hand, was observing the snow scene in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass in the hall~

About an hour later, after taking a bath in the morning, Nagayama Naoki, who was all soft and soft, came to the living room and lay down on the sofa without ceremony.

The collar of the loose yukata was wide open, revealing the red skin and the outline of the chest muscles. The hair was cut short again, which made the handsome image more refreshing, just like a new year and a new beginning.

He picked up the morning paper on the coffee table and read it. In addition to some regular New Year news, there was also some very surprising news.

"Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Shot, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor"

Nagayama Naoki looked at the nominations in this newspaper and began to count the awards that "The Summer of Kikujiro" was shortlisted for the Mainichi Film Awards.

"Tsk tsk tsk, almost all of them!"

Nagayama Naoki sighed. Sure enough, "The Summer of Kikujiro" was so excellent that it ranked first among the movies released last year, so the movie reviewers had no choice but to vote!

And the subsequent shortlists for the Academy Awards, the Blue Ribbon Film Awards, and the Film Weekly Awards.

These neon movie awards will be announced one by one, which will be a very important time point for tree friends and Naoki Nagayama himself.

but

"These awards are actually average."

Just like a scumbag loses his expectations after getting them, Naoki Nagayama has easily won these awards and has no motivation to collect them. What he wants is actually another award-the Palme d'Or.

"We should pay more attention to international movies this year"

Continuing to flip through the newspaper, Nagayama Naoki originally thought that there would be no news that interested him, but unexpectedly he saw his name again in the "Yomiuri Shimbun".

“New Year’s Sell-Off?”

The newspaper mentioned that after the New Year in the Neon Stock Market, a group of shareholders of listed companies made announcements about share transfers.

As the largest merger and acquisition in the financial circle last year, Fujitsu General is also a monster stock. Of course, commentators and reporters are paying more attention to it. After Fujitsu General announced the transfer of 5% of its shares, well-informed financial reporters have naturally found out what’s going on behind the scenes.

"A new upstart in the capital circle and a barbarian in the investment world. Naoki Nagayama suddenly sold off nearly half of his shares after making a huge fortune."

"According to gossip, Nagayama Naoki became acutely aware of the upcoming merger between Fujitsu and General Air Conditioning after hearing the taxi driver's talk, and directly borrowed 5 billion from the bank to heavily stockpile General Air Conditioning's shares at that time. By acquiring scattered shares, he became one of the general’s major shareholders.”

"Such crude investment behavior was called a barbarian by investment managers. However, with this move, his assets skyrocketed and he became a new upstart in the financial circle."

Looking at the news in the report, Nagayama Naoki touched his face. He had already told Kadokawa Haruki and the others, but he had no intention of hiding it forever.

Kadokawa Haruki and other people present would definitely talk about such a bizarre experience of discovering information about the merger and acquisition of the boss's company from the taxi driver's mouth.

Naoki Nagayama doesn’t worry about others not believing him. After all, the financial world is even weirder, and even more unbelievable things have happened.

As for whether the police will arrest him based on this?

Are you kidding me, officer? You actually believe this kind of fairy tale? Don’t you want the stars on your shoulders? !

"However, when the next amount of money arrives, we can start shorting the U.S. dollar according to the Plaza Agreement!" Naoki Nagayama thought about whether to call Wonta Nakai, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it and wait until the account was settled. ~

Now is the time to enjoy your vacation!

Turn on the TV, put in the video tape, and take out the snacks. First, let me catch up on the dramas I missed!

Hawaii is in the West 10th Ward and Tokyo is in the East 9th Ward. The time difference is 19 hours.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, Naoki Nagayama looked at the time and called Nakamori Akina's hotel. It should be early morning there.

"Moses Moses, this is Miss Nakamori~" A brisk voice came from the microphone, as if he was playing a prank, "Who are you looking for?"

"." She had made an appointment on the pager, but Naoki Nagayama had to cooperate with her performance without knowing it beforehand. "Who is Miss Nakamori? The one I'm looking for is named Akina Nakamori~"

"Ah, well, lucky for you, this lady is Akina Nakamori! Haha!"

The girlfriend on the phone sounded very happy. She must have been very happy during the two days of vacation. It was a rare occasion when she didn’t have a job and was accompanied by her family.

"Aren't you having a lot of fun these days, Akina?" Naoki Nagayama stopped pretending, "It sounds like she was drunk!"

"Haha, I just participated in the bonfire party and danced hula!" Akina Nakamori laughed, "So drink a little bit of the cocktail!"

According to Akina's drinking capacity, this doesn't sound like a little bit.

Having said that, Akina is 20 years old this year. After the adult day on January 15th, she can be regarded as an adult in that year. However, she still has to sign the legal documents after July 13th.

Naoki Nagayama didn't dwell on the drinking issue.

"Is the bonfire party so late?"

"Yes, it just ended," Akina Nakamori said with a smile, "Mom, Akiko, and Akei all danced hula! Everyone sang songs."

Naoki Nagayama listened to his girlfriend talking about her holiday life in Hawaii and felt the happiness overflowing from her words. Sure enough, when they didn't fall out, they were still very close to their family~

"Naoki-san, how was your New Year's holiday in Shizuoka? Are you back in Tokyo now?"

"No, I'm in the holiday home in Lake Toya now, enjoying the hot springs~" Naoki Nagayama said.

"Ah, that holiday home?" Nakamori Akina thought, "Isn't Naoki-san alone?"

"No, I have Taro and Nyan Taro to accompany me~" Nagayama Naoki smiled, "I will be back to Tokyo tomorrow~ Akina should be back on the 7th, right?"

"Hi~ Three more days!" Nakamori Akina nodded, and then said coquettishly, "It seems that I haven't seen Naoki-san for a long time!"

Speaking of which, since living together, the two have never been apart for more than a week.

"Soon." Nagayama Naoki comforted, "I also want to see Akina~"

The sweet couple talked so sweetly that others would get goosebumps when they heard it. After a while, Nakamori Akina said:

"By the way, Naoki-san should be able to see me soon!"

"?"

Nakamori Akina said happily:

"Today at two o'clock in the morning. Ah, Naoki-san should be at nine o'clock in the evening, TBS TV will have a live broadcast of "THE BEST TEN""

"Akina is also going to live?" Nagayama Naoki was surprised.

"Hi, although it's a holiday, the agency said that we can connect for a short while. It's a special invitation from the program team." Akina Nakamori was no longer surprised by this sudden job, "They said that the audience must want to see me on vacation in Hawaii."

"It's really hard work"

"Haha, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I can't sleep now!" Akina Nakamori laughed, "Naoki-san, just watch me on TV later!"

"Want to dance hula?" Nagayama Naoki laughed.

"I haven't learned it yet!"

"Haha~"

After talking for a while, he hung up the phone. The international call across the ocean must have cost a lot of money this time. He lowered his head and patted the dog's head:

"Yingtaro, cheer for Akina later!"

"Woof!"

The first show of the new year, "THE BEST TEN", was broadcast live. Almost all the idol artists on the list came to the studio.

As expected, there are no holidays in the entertainment industry. These popular idol artists may work all year round.

The data of the list is actually from the year before, so the rankings probably haven't changed much. Akina Nakamori's "Tears Are Not Decorations" is still the first, followed by Seiko Matsuda's "Heart of Illing" and the new song of Safe Zone.

In short, we didn't see Akina Nakamori's performance until the end.

The host Kume Hiro said on TV: "Since Akina Nakamori is on vacation in Hawaii, this time we use the satellite relay mode to invite Akina-chan to sing."

As a small screen lit up, Akina Nakamori, who was smiling brightly, realized that the live broadcast had started after the staff's reminder:

"Good evening~"

"Good evening~ Akina-chan, is it early morning over there? It looks like it's windy, is it cold?"

Tetsuko Kuroyanagi said to the microphone, and the satellite relay screen showed the hotel corridor, except for the places with lights, everything else was a bit dark.

"Hi, it's 2 a.m. in Hawaii now!" Akina Nakamori didn't smell of alcohol on her face, but she was obviously in an excited state. "But it's hot in Hawaii, and it's not cold at night!"

"Akina-chan, are you wearing a grass skirt now?" Kume Hiro asked beside her.

"Hi, I just attended a bonfire party tonight." Akina said with a smile.

"It must be very fun."

"Yeah. I danced the hula!"

Because it was broadcasted by satellite, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi didn't say much to Akina. "It looks like we can see the hula dancer version of "Tears Are Not Decorations" tonight!"

"Hi~"

As the music sounded, Akina Nakamori, wearing a hula, posed for the opening of "Tears Are Not Decorations".

Originally, this song was full of queen style, but after wearing the unique grass skirt, every turn would cause the skirt to flutter, bringing a sense of charm in maturity, just like seeing a passionate Hawaiian hula girl by the campfire~

No, it should be the hula queen

Although it was a satellite broadcast, the audience couldn't help cheering and applauding~The studio was full of noisy atmosphere.

At this time, Naoki Nagayama, who was far away in Lake Toya, couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene:

"She really danced hula~ She sang like a hula queen!!"

Knowing that this was Akina wearing it for him, Naoki Nagayama thought to himself:

"From now on, this set of song clothes will be called hula dishes?"

After the connection ended, Akina Nakamori breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed again.

Today's work was over, and the staff next to her began to pack up the equipment, and Akina's mother Chieko, who had been accompanying Akina, also walked aside to help Akina take off her earrings.

"Ogasan, go and have a rest!" Akina Nakamori urged, "It's already so late!"

"Akina hasn't rested yet~" Chieko kept holding on and took off her grass skirt, "What's the big deal if you sleep a little late for a night or two!"

"But I'm going to play surfing and beach volleyball tomorrow. I can't do it if I'm not in good spirits!"

Akina Nakamori said this, but in her heart she still enjoyed having her mother helping.

"I don't know how to surf." Chieko shook her head, "The most I can do is soak in the sea water on the beach~"

"Ogasan, I can teach you!" Akina Nakamori is full of confidence. Although the big waves can't go away, the small waves on the shore are still no problem!

"You know how?" Chieko was stunned for a moment, "When did you learn it, Akina?"

"Ah, Naoki-san taught me this in Hawaii." Akina suddenly felt weak.

"Nagayama Naoki?" Chieko paused, "Is it the previous date in Hawaii?"

"It's not a date." Akina explained, "It's just a meeting."

"Hmph~~ It's not a date." Chieko snorted with unknown meaning. She didn't know whether she was laughing at her daughter for still being shy or at Naoki Nagayama.

"Mingcai."

On the way back to the room, Chieko suddenly stopped Akina,

"Sleep with me tonight!"

"Eh?"

"Tell me, hasn't your Naoki Nagayama been to his house?"

"When are you going to come to my house?" "When are you getting married?" "When are you going to give me an explanation?"

"Does he just want to take away the daughter I finally raised without saying a word?!"

"Didn't I say this?" Akina Nakamori didn't know what to say, "Naoki-san said he would come to the house in spring!"

"Spring is so long, who knows what day it will be!" Chieko dragged Akina back to the room, "I want to ask him how he charmed my daughter!"
