Tokyo bubble life

I came to Shin-Okachimachi after a long absence. The New Sound Studio is still hidden in a small corner, but the decoration inside seems to have changed.

Because Shuyou's recording work is mostly done here, the small New Sound Studio has also gained some fame and received other orders from time to time.

"Brother Ozaki!" Naoki Nagayama just saw Ozaki Yutaka and the plump Sudo Akira at the door, "Sudo-san~"

"Naoki-san!" "What a coincidence, I met you at the door~"

The two of them also greeted each other kindly and exchanged pleasantries

Today, we made an appointment to record the theme song of "Love Century", "Lucky Sena Yume (Happy Ending)", in the recording studio, so everyone came here early in the morning.

"Brother Ozaki, have you practiced the song "Lucky Sena Yume (Happy Ending)"?" Naoki Nagayama asked with a smile.

The somewhat shy boy in front of him nodded: "I have practiced very well!"

"That's good. "Love Century" will be broadcast soon~"

Naoki Nagayama and the two walked into the store together. Onodera Kokoro had already been waiting in front:

"Naoki-san, Ozaki-kun, Sudo-san, welcome to the new sound studio"

"Hi, hi, hi~ We have been here so many times~" Sudo Akira waved his hand casually, "We are all familiar with each other, so there is no need for such courtesy~"

"Haha, then everyone go in first, I have turned on the air conditioner~"

Onodera Kokoro led a few people to the lounge upstairs. It was only the end of January, and the temperature was still very cold. Ozaki Yutaka always had to drink something after coming here to warm up his throat before starting to record.

Because they had to sing, Onodera only brought warm water, and Naoki Nagayama chatted with Ozaki Yutaka in the lounge:

"Ozaki, do you have a solo concert in the spring?"

"Hi, at the end of March"

"Don't you wait until the cherry blossom season?"

"The cherry blossoms are too sad and beautiful, and it's not suitable for the rock atmosphere." Ozaki Yutaka seemed much more excited when talking about his music, "This time I want to show a kind of rebellion under bondage. Even if it is external bondage, it can't stop our inner freedom."

"Haha, rock is such a freedom~"

Sudo Akira also joined the discussion at this time: "Some of the songs selected this time are newly created, which will definitely bring different feelings to fans!"

"But." Ozaki Yutaka sighed, "After rehearsing several times, I always feel the passion, but I can't perform the feeling of breaking through the bondage. Even if I take off my coat during the singing, it still feels insufficient."

"."The bursting clothes flow! Female fans will be excited!

"Ahem. The feeling of breaking free from restraints." Naoki Nagayama thought for a while, "Why not try performing in a suit, just like the Beatles."

"Huh? The Beatles?"

"Well, look at their suits with nude trousers."

At this time, Naoki Nagayama was actually thinking of another person. The image of Dou Daxian singing rock in a suit is the memory of a generation.

"It's best to wear all black. The more formal and restrained the better. Then you can use your voice and music to express the emotions and rebellion restrained in the suit."

Ozaki Yutaka and Sudo Akira looked at each other. In this era of visual contemporary performances, the style of stage performances is changing towards eye-catching and strange costumes.

Their previous stage costumes have always been considered in the direction of being unconventional and trendy. They really didn't consider using suits. You know, suits represent the social constraints that rock and roll resist the most!

But if you think about it carefully, wearing old-fashioned suits at rock concerts, isn't this the most rebellious performance? !

"Naoki-san's idea." Sudo Akira said, "is to elevate the concert into performance art!"

"It's also a tribute to the rock predecessors!" Ozaki Yuya nodded in agreement, "We have to think about it carefully when we go back!"

"Haha, I'm just talking casually. After all, it's your concert, think about it yourself~"

Naoki Nagayama saw that a cup of warm water had been drunk and everyone was in the best state, so he said:

"Today, let's record "星せな淔(Happy Ending)" first!"

"Hi!" X2

Ozaki Yuta has collaborated with Naoki Nagayama to record several records, and he has some understanding of his style in the recording studio.

So after singing several times, he saw Naoki Nagayama's frowning brows through the soundproof glass, and his heart was a little nervous.

"Naoki-san, does it still feel wrong?"

"Hmm"

Naoki Nagayama was comparing the version sung by Ozaki Yuta with the memory in his mind.

Maybe the original version of "心せな淔 (Happy Ending)" is not well-known, so it doesn't sound iconic to Naoki Naoyama

People's voices are different, and Naoki Naoyama can't ask Ozaki Yutaka to perform according to the singing style of Otaki Eiichi

"Brother Ozaki, actually your singing is already very good"

When Ozaki Yutaka heard this, he knew there was a "but" behind it. Sure enough, Naoki Naoyama continued,

"However. When singing, add a little bit of the tail sound to make the feeling of happiness have a lingering feeling."

"."

Ozaki Yutaka feels that these musicians are just as good as the difficult party A. Can adding the tail sound make it have a lingering aftertaste?

Why don't you say it can still linger for three days!

However, since he was his boss after all, Yutaka Ozaki made some adjustments and began to perform again.

"

Fortunately（しあわ）せな knotmo（けつまつ）きっと见（み）つける

(You will definitely find a happy ending)

Tonight（こんや）kun（きみ）は servant（ぼく）のもの

(You belong to me tonight)

Baby you're mine~

"

Nagayama Naoki listened to Yutaka Ozaki's singing with headphones. It must be said that this young man has an enviable voice, with a deep voice full of vitality. When singing love songs, his gentle voice is like whispering in his ears. .

In modern terms, it will make your ears pregnant!

I re-recorded it sentence by sentence and changed it several times based on Naoki Nagayama’s opinions before it was initially completed.

"Brother Ozaki, you can consider singing more love songs in the future." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Maybe you can get a title like the Prince of Love Songs."

"."

Go away, I play rock and roll!

Yutaka Ozaki complained silently in his heart, but he still had the idea of ​​a love song in his heart~

An office of TBS.

"Nani?" Naoyuki Utsumi, the producer of the prank variety show, seemed to be in disbelief after receiving the news, "Really refused?"

"Hi!" Naoyuki Shirakawa replied, "Rejected without mercy!"

"Kenyin said that Akina Nakamori is busy with the recording of the new album and record production, and has no time to participate in other variety shows!"

Inland Sea Straight Line confirmed again:

"Did you tell me my name? We are TBS's most popular prank show! The ratings can even reach 30%!"

"Hi, of course!"

Shirakawa Naoyuki looked at the astonished Utsumi Naomi, and couldn't help but feel a little gloating in his heart. Whoever said yesterday that Kenin would definitely give him face was completely overestimating his status!

"Does Nakamori Akina really not want to be exposed?!"

Naomi Utsumi couldn't understand it. Obviously, prank shows are the most worry-free announcement for artists. There is no need to prepare anything. The program team will prepare everything, and they must do their best to prevent the artists from discovering it.

Except for some accidents when being teased, basically no damage was caused. Even the recording time was very short and it would not affect anything at all!

"The Yanyin side said that Nakamori Akina is very busy right now."

After hearing this reason, you will know that it is just a refusal. Which artist is not busy? The more popular they are, the more intensive their schedules are. It just depends on whether they are willing to make time!

"Then will they still participate in "THE BEST TEN"?"

"Of course, Akina Nakamori's "Tears Are Not Decorations" has been at the top of the list continuously!"

"That means you are looking down on us!" Utsumi Naoyuki became sulky, "Aren't you afraid that I will prevent her from appearing in "THE BEST TEN"?"

Naoyuki Shirakawa shrugged. The program team of "THE BEST TEN" will not give up on Akina Nakamori. She is the guarantee of ratings!

Besides, my boyfriend also has a show called "Music Station"!

"No, I can't let Nakamori Akina go so easily!" Utsumi Naoyuki still wants to rely on Nakamori Akina to break through the ratings!

"How about taking action first? After establishing the established facts, we can talk to Yanyin?"

"Team leader, you will be caught by the police like this!" Naoyuki Shirakawa said, "Besides, without the cooperation of the office, we would not be able to catch the opportunity to do tricks!"

"How can it be repaired? Is there no other way?"

"You can mobilize connections and persuade Yanyin's top management. Or you can pay a very high labor fee!"

".We are TBS TV station!"

Neon TV stations, because they are a monopoly, have always relied on offices to request TV stations. Therefore, even the labor fees are very small. This time, they actually have to switch to Qiu Yan Yin.

"Forget it, I don't believe it. Without Akina Nakamori, the ratings would never reach 30% again!"

"."Okay, you are the boss~

At this time, Akina Nakamori, who had been using the excuse that she was very busy, had a rare break.

She sat in the passenger seat of the car and quickly pressed the latest BP machine to contact her boyfriend.

As soon as the car phone rang, Akina Nakamori answered it:

"Naoki-san!"

"Akina?" Nagayama Naoki's voice came from the phone, "What's wrong, are you in such a hurry to call?"

"The afternoon cover shoot has been rescheduled!" Akina Nakamori said in a relaxed tone, "So I'm free all afternoon!"

"."

Oh, so just call me. Do you want to go out to play? Don't I have anything to do? Aren't you busy? !

"Did Akina have lunch?" Naoki Nagayama certainly didn't disappoint. He looked at the time and said, "Shall we go on a date together?"

"Uh-huh!"

Although she couldn't see it, Akina Nakamori kept nodding in the car.

"where are we going?"

"Hmm" Nagayama Naoki looked at his current location and suddenly thought that Ueno Park was nearby, "Taitto District. Do you remember that Western restaurant near Ueno Park? I'm nearby."

"Ah, that house!"

Nakamori Akina naturally remembered it. That was the night Naoki Nagayama confessed to herself, the place where they had dinner together.

"I'll go find my seat first~" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "I'll take a trip back to my old place in the afternoon."

"Hi~~~"

No matter where she goes, it’s enough for Akina to be with Naoki Nagayama.

After hanging up the phone, Akina Nakamori looked at Akiko Fusano next to her and smiled a little guilty: "Haha, Fusano-san, let’s go to a western restaurant near Ueno Park in Taito District."

"Okay."

Aki Fusano didn’t say much and started the car~

On the contrary, Akina Nakamori seemed to suddenly realize the difference: "Fusano-san, it seems that I have fewer announcements recently."

In the past, even if there were temporary changes to the schedule, the work of the day was still full, and the schedule could even be scheduled by the hour.

Akiko Fusano glanced at her idol, don’t you remember that your boyfriend threatened President Hanami?

If you don’t reduce your work, you will be forced to retire!

"Akina-chan," Akikofusa said, "The agency means that in the future, apart from music shows and promotional periods, I will not participate in ordinary variety show announcements! Of course, except for the level of the Red and White Songs Contest."

"Is that so~"

Nakamori Akina finally understood a little bit, and after thinking about it, she still felt a little bit regretful.

"Speaking of which, some variety shows are also very interesting~"

"If Akina wants, you can continue to accept it!" Akikofusa said, "In fact, it is still good to ensure a certain amount of exposure."

Nakamori Akina immediately crossed her hands: "Damn! NO! No! This is good!"

With so many schedules, she is so busy every day. And when she goes on the show, she will face a group of elites in the entertainment industry. Although they all speak very nicely, I don’t know what they are thinking. This is actually a burden for Nakamori Akina!

"."

Akira gave up,

"Okay~ Let's do it according to Akina-chan's idea. But the national tour from July to September is still necessary!"

"Yeah~" Akina Nakamori was very happy to reduce the workload, "Anyway, if there are interesting programs in the future, I can still participate!"

". You want to go and have fun!"

"Hehe~"

After Naoki Nagayama separated from Yutaka Ozaki and Akira Sudo, they drove slowly to the vicinity of Ueno Park.

It was lunch time, and there were many people eating in the western restaurant. However, due to the good division, everyone focused on their own tables, and no one recognized a star standing at the door.

The manager of the western restaurant obviously recognized Naoki Nagayama, not only because he was always on the headlines, but also because he had booked the entire restaurant to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday.

"Mr. Naoki Nagayama, what brings you here~"

"I want to have lunch here. But I don't have a reservation. Is there any table?"

"Of course, we always prepare tables for the most distinguished guests~"

The manager said polite words and led Naoki Nagayama to a secluded place on the second floor.

"Naoki-san, what do you want to eat today?"

"Wait a minute," Naoki Nagayama flipped through the menu, "The person I'm meeting hasn't arrived yet. Let's order a bottle of 1976 Bordeaux red wine first."

"Hi!" The restaurant manager nodded and immediately went to prepare~

"What should we eat today?" Naoki Nagayama was in a dilemma.

And at this moment, because the manager personally walked in, a customer recognized Naoki Nagayama's appearance, and hurriedly walked out of the western restaurant after finishing his meal.

Then he quickly found a nearby telephone booth.

"Moses, Moses, Naoki Nagayama was found in the western restaurant next to Ueno Park!"

"Come quickly!"
