Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 340: Nervous or not (8,000 words)

To say whether Oura Yukie is nervous now, she must answer that she is nervous.

After all, she will compete with Higashinoji on the same stage next. Although she is very confident in her singing skills, Higashinoji is in the main position this time (the last one to appear, the position that attracts the most attention).

Therefore, she must be more vigilant about this, not to overturn the situation and be suppressed by Higashinoji.

You must know that those family news magazines outside have been building momentum and brewing for this matter since they heard that she and Higashinoji were on the stage of the Red and White Uta Battle together.

Some newspapers wanted to write about her as if she had a terrible grudge against Higashino for killing his father.

Why did her rejection of "Lemon" create a conflict, and then Higashinoji's "Lemon" pushed her to the bottom of the distribution list, and she was very unwilling to do so, and then added some subjective conjectures of the person who wrote the article, and a controversial article The article was born.

Although most of this is true, writing it out like this is not good for her image as a singer.

Yes, the career of a singer is not as good as that of a cartoonist Higashinoji. Singers have to frequently be active in the entertainment industry and appear in front of fans, so they must maintain their own image.

For cartoonists, personal image is not so important.

They only need to draw their own works, and no one will scold them even if they stay at home for 365 days. Some people will even praise them for their serious professional attitude.

But not singers.

Therefore, reading these newspapers and magazines made Oura Yukie himself a little depressed.

"We must win this battle and get rid of all the depression in the first half of the year!"

Oura Yukie thought so and clenched his fists at the same time.

In the first half of the year, I was crushed by "Lemon", and later on, I was crushed to death by Higashinoji's songs. I couldn't move, but today is different!

Live singing is no better than having a sound engineer in a recording studio who can help with the sound. She felt that Higashinoji definitely had no chance of winning!

Oura Yukie didn't go to listen to Higashinoji's rehearsal. After all, he was the last to appear every time, and she had various things to attend to. In addition, NHK did not allow video recording during the rehearsal, so she never knew Higashinoji. Strength.

But if you think about it the other way round, you will realize that his clear and transparent singing voice must have been cultivated. Ordinary male voices do not have that unique voice.

Even if he takes a million steps back, Higashinoji's voice is indeed clear and translucent, but as someone who has never participated in such a national program, he will definitely be nervous in front of the spotlight.

As she was thinking this way, she quickly thought of the headline of tomorrow's news: 'Comic geniuses Kohaku Uta team up to fight in Waterloo, and the facts prove that what Yukie Oura said is true'.

I have to say that Oura Yukie's power of association is quite powerful.

Higashino Sidu only thought about fighting her today, but she had already thought about tomorrow's news headlines.

"It's still so long, let's go to the toilet first." Oura Yukie muttered and simply stood up.

However, as soon as she walked out of the lounge, she happened to bump into Higashinoji who was sitting next to the door of the lounge.

Seeing Higashikata sitting there with no expression on his face, and even in the mood to joke with Saito Kotori next to him, Oura Yukie couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Does this mean you already think you have a chance to win, so you look down on me?

Oura Yukie's mouth twitched and he took the initiative to say hello: "Higashino-san."

"Oh, it's Oura-san, what's the matter?"

The other party greeted him politely, and of course Tonoji didn't hesitate and responded with a smile.

"I was just thinking that Higashino-san is really relaxed. It's the Kohaku Uta Battle soon, and I can't even see any nervous expressions. You must know that you are the main star of this year's Kohaku Uta Battle."

Oura Yukie spoke sourly, as if he had eaten dozens of lemons.

Yukie Oura is still very concerned about Higashinoji getting the main position this year. She feels that the NHK Red and White Song Competition is getting more and more difficult. In previous years, veteran singers were used as main characters, but this year they actually found a painting Isn't it funny to use comics as the main theme?

At the same time, her words also meant to put pressure on Higashinoji. What she actually meant was, 'You are the key player in this year's Kohaku Uta Battle. Can you take up this role? ’

Of course Saito Kotori next to her also understood the meaning of Oura Yukie's words, but as a young idol, she could only lower her head at this time, whispering in her heart to curse Oura Yukie, while cheering Higashinoji.

Facing Oura Yukie's provocation, Tonoji's expression still didn't change much. He just smiled and said:

"There is no need for Oura-san to worry about this. Instead of worrying about me, who is the big boss this year, Ohura-san should take good care of his own program. I heard that in the first half of the year, Oura-san's sales performance on the distribution list and the Oricon O list were very good. None of them are particularly good.”

This is simply blatant murder.

Yukie Oura was so angry at these words that his stomach began to hurt.

After all, everyone knows that this year's Oricon Singles O Chart and Distributed Singles Chart were both dominated by Higashinoji's three songs.

Whether it's "Lemon" or "Although We Have Nothing in Our Hands" and "Don't Give Up", they are all jumping up and down on this list, showing full dominance.

In particular, "Lemon", the first song released by Higashino, took the first place in sales on the Oricon Singles O Chart and the first place in the Digital Distribution Chart. It is no problem to say that it is a double crown.

And the reason why her performance in the first half of this year was not outstanding was because she was one of the three members of Higashinoji's three-song massacre, and was pushed to the ground and beaten till her skin was bruised and swollen.

At this time, Higashino raised the matter and told her directly, 'If your grades are not as good as mine this year, please stop coming here and provoking me.'

"The results on the charts can't explain everything, Higashino-san, this time it's a live performance."

Oura Yukie was very angry, but he didn't want to quarrel with Higashinoji. He could only say a sarcastic word, turned around, covered his abdomen, and headed towards the toilet.

Watching her leave, Saito Kotori made a face. He felt that Higashinoji immediately stuck out his tongue after seeing her, looking malicious and pretending to be cute.

As an idol, her cute impromptu performances are engraved in her DNA.

But I have to say it.

Even though Tonoji knew Saito Kotori was pretending to be cute out of spite, he was still surprised by Kotori.

After all, Saito Kotori has a good appearance and a sweet smile. According to Japanese, she has a "smart beauty".

In addition, Higashinoji is considered a man, so it is natural for him to react.

Therefore, in a sense, this kind of malicious pretending to be cute is really useful.

Higashinoji is not an ordinary person either.

After being baptized by various little girls such as Chihaya Higashino, Ryoka Konoe, Aoi Fujiwara, and Yumi Takahashi for a long time, he still has a strong resistance to this kind of malicious and cute behavior.

After she finished laughing, Higashinoji began to chase people away simply:

"Okay, the audience has entered the venue, and we will probably enter the venue later. Go to your side and prepare."

"Hey - Higashikata-san is so cold. Are you starting to chase people away now? I'm so sad."

Saito Kotori pretended to be half crying.

After getting along with each other in several rehearsals, she actually gradually got to know Higashinoji, and realized that the other party did not pay special attention to seniority politeness like traditional Japanese people, so she gradually relaxed in front of Higashinoji.

From time to time, she would pick vegetables from Higashinoji's lunch box.

This behavior is actually very dangerous. If someone sees it and then exposes it, her idol career may be over.

After all, idols in Japan are strictly prohibited from falling in love. Even if they participate in variety shows, they are not allowed to have too close physical contact with other male guests.

Saito Kotori is very concerned about his idol career.

But she just didn't know why, in front of Touyesi, she always acted like a spoiled child subconsciously and couldn't control it at all.

Perhaps it was because this young man had a temperament that she couldn't describe and made people rely on him.

Especially the last time the other party casually resolved the conflict between Yukie Oura and her, which made Saito Kotori even more unable to control his behavior.

So every time after doing some intimate actions, she would always say half-jokingly: "Hey, if someone really finds out and my idol career is over, then I will find Higashino-san as my boyfriend. Anyway, Higashino-san is so rich." ,hey-hey."

Every time he heard her say this, Higashikata would just smile happily, and then raise his hand as if he was going to hit her.

As for why she said that, she actually didn't understand.

Could it be that you were really expecting something?

After sending Saito Kotori away, Tonoji also tidied up his lounge table, preparing to go out for a formality later.

Although he is responsible for the final finishing touch of the white group, before the official start of the red and white song competition, there is a stage where the singers of the red and white groups go through the motions together.

Of course Higashinoji will appear at this stage, so he must be well prepared.

Just like that, after waiting backstage for about half an hour, news came from the front desk that the singers from the white group and the red group were ready to appear.

It has to be said that there are really many singers participating in the Red and White Song Competition. Looking from Higashinoji's side, they are lined up directly in a row.

But after thinking about it, he felt that this was quite natural.

After all, there are very few people like him who play alone. Whether it is the white group or the red group, there will always be an idol group (boy group or girl group), so it is normal for there to be so many people.

After waiting backstage for about two minutes, the team began to move. Every singer and idol quickly adjusted their status and put on a professional smile on their faces - after all, singers have close-ups of their faces when they appear.

After all, if he appeared on camera with a bad face, he might be caught and severely criticized by the family entertainment newspaper.

Higashinoji followed suit next to him, with a smile on his face, and then followed by a group of singers, the idol gradually walked towards the front.

At this time, Takahashi Yumi in the audience obviously couldn't wait.

It took half an hour from the time she entered the venue to the singer's entrance. Her lively and active personality was really suppressed and she was speechless.

Now I finally saw singers starting to walk out from both sides of the stage. She immediately followed the audience next to her and started clapping vigorously while looking up excitedly.

"Where is Mr. Higashino? Where is Mr. Higashino?"

"Higashino-kun is the big one, he must be at the end." Fujiwara Aoi was a little speechless, but she still clapped along with her.

"I don't know if A Si will be nervous in this situation."

Chihaya Higashino clapped her hands and said uneasily to Konoe Ryoka, who was sitting between him and Konoe Tsushima.

She would not have asked such a question originally, but when she looked at the dark crowd in the NHK studio and glanced at the various camera positions, she subconsciously couldn't help but speak.

But compared to her, Konoe Ryoka's attitude was much more positive.

She shook her head without hesitation: "I won't be nervous. A Si is so powerful."

She used this 'affirmation' so firmly that Chihaya Higashino couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Why does Asi’s girlfriend believe him so much?

Asi and I have been living together for more than ten years, and we both feel that this kind of situation is a bit suspenseful.

You lived with A Si for a year and a half while you were unconscious, and are you so confident in him?

While the two of them were discussing in a low voice, the emcee of the white group on the stage finally mentioned Higashinoji: "Higashino-san, please give me some advice!"

This immediately attracted their attention.

Higashinoji's expression didn't change much. He smiled very naturally. When he walked out, he waved in the direction of Konoe Ryoka and the others - of course he couldn't see there were so many people, so he could only wave his hands to show his appreciation. .

After introducing Higashinoji of the last group, the emcee on the stage began to read the script.

It probably means that this year’s biggest song festival, the song battle, the red and white song battle is about to begin, and our white group will never lose.

The female host in a kimono from the red team was not to be outdone, saying that the red team would beat the white team, and also implicitly mentioned that this year's red and white song competition is more explosive than in previous years.

This is undoubtedly talking about Higashinoji and Oura Yukie.

The audience below also applauded loudly.

After all, the audience is watching the fun and wishes the competition would become more intense.

Under this situation, the red group and the white group began to exit, and after the special performance group ended, it was officially the turn of the two groups to perform.

Naturally, Higashinoji was the first to return to the lounge. By the way, he turned on the TV in the lounge and started watching the performance of Kohaku Utasen.

To be honest, he wasn't really nervous.

This behavior made Saito Kotori, who had just come back, speechless for a while: "Higashino-san, are you still in the mood to watch other people's performances? I'm almost nervous to death. I'm afraid that our idol group's program will be compared with others."

Saying that, Saito Kotori sighed again.

"What if when it's our idol group's turn, the ratings drop? That will be in the newspapers later, so just thinking about it makes me a little nervous."

She is really envious of Higashinoji's mental quality now.

If Saito Kotori hadn't mentioned this, Higashinoji would have forgotten it.

inside the impression.

He seems to be using this thing to compete with Yukie Oura, right?
