602. Be Well Prepared(1/2)
…
Akina Nakamori made tea and came over with a tea tray. Shinichi Iwahashi saw the two teacups side by side and found it interesting. Sensing his gaze, Akina Nakamori put the teacup in front of him and said, "I bought a new one recently.
"
This tone sounded like he was showing off to Shinichi Iwahashi.
"Yeah?"
Iwahashi Shinichi watched her put down the other teacup. The two teacups were obviously a pair. She really couldn't hide her little thoughts, and she had no intention of hiding them from him.
Akina Nakamori nodded repeatedly, "I originally wanted to buy it after I moved house." She walked to the kitchen while chattering to him, "But I happened to go shopping and saw it, so I couldn't help but buy it. How about it?"
"It's quite cute." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "If I were alone, I would be embarrassed to use such a cute cup."
Nakamori Akina smiled and said, "It's not meant for one person in the first place."
Normally, since she was about to move, she would try not to buy anything first. But when she was shopping in Daikanyama alone, she saw a cup for couples and couldn't help but want to buy it. She brought the cup back, looked at it carefully, and thought about when Iwahashi Shinichi
Come here and use these cups to make tea for him.
The more steady and calm Iwahashi Shinichi is, the more she likes to prepare such bright things.
After buying a new cup, Akina Nakamori was like getting a brand new eraser on Sunday, and she began to look forward to the children coming on Monday, just waiting for him to come over and "show off" to him in person.
She opened the kitchen cabinet and asked, "What snacks should I have?"
Shinichi Iwahashi reached out and touched the outer wall of the tea cup to confirm the temperature, "Don't bother me, I'll just drink some tea." It's not early and I have work tomorrow.
"oh."
Nakamori Akina heard what he meant, and secretly puffed her cheeks in the kitchen. Unfortunately, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't see her. She rummaged around in the cupboard, came back empty-handed, and sat down next to him.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at his watch and suddenly remembered something, "Yesterday, I sent you a new single from the record company."
It was supposed to be delivered today. However, the two of them were just having fun today and had long forgotten about it.
"Is it the song 'Blue Shirt'?" Akina Nakamori asked.
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed at the name she secretly gave the song and told her, "The song is called "Eyeste"."
"Yeah." She nodded perfunctorily, and when she brought it up again, she called it "blue shirt."
Iwahashi Shinichi guessed that she was doing it on purpose, so he gave up correcting him and called her whatever he wanted, "It will take two more days for the official distribution. I got the promotional disc a week ago. Yesterday, the printing factory sent a sample of the official version. It just happened.
send to you."
The advertisements accompanying the single will not be aired until the first of April. The single will be released about ten days in advance and will be sold on its own first.
With the success of "LOVEGOESON...", the outside world is full of confidence in the band. This time, the number of orders received from the seller is considerable. The printing plate factory printed half a million copies in one go. From top to bottom, there is a strong desire to
Great sales momentum.
"I'm going to release a new album in a while." Akina Nakamori thought about it and told him.
As soon as the new album was released, the eighth anniversary concert also followed. She had already planned to give the concert tickets to Iwahashi Shinichi when the time came.
It was obviously more convenient to deliver it in person, but neither Shinichi Iwahashi nor she wanted to change this wonderful way of communication.
"However, I don't want the tickets for the related party seats." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
It's not interesting to watch this kind of concert if you stay in the audience's seat and sit upright like a parent attending a kindergarten final performance.
Akina Nakamori smiled and said, "Then I will reserve the ordinary seat tickets for you."
Needless to say, the ordinary seat tickets reserved in advance are the seats with the best viewing experience.
"The first time I met you was at the concert."
"Joan Jet-san's concert." Akina Nakamori did not forget it, and recalled with a smile, "When Joan Jet-san announced at the venue that she would participate in the Women's Rock Music Festival, Shinichi-kun said, 'It was a success.'"
"I also invited you to give me a high-five to celebrate." Shinichi Iwahashi also smiled.
At that time, when he went to persuade Joan Jett to join, he drew a cake for her, saying that he would promote women's rock music in Japan.
After the music festival was successfully held, the bands that participated in the music festival were signed to record companies in the industry one after another. Several female bands that were still unknown at the time have also achieved remarkable development in the past few years.
The eldest sister Keiko Terada was frightened by Shinichi Iwahashi's youth. Her band SHOW-YA is now very popular.
In terms of business, not counting DREAM T-shirt, which later debuted through the band Tianguo, the most successful one is P-NCESSP-NCESS.
This band was scooped up by Sony before participating in the music festival. It has been steadily rising and only needs one phenomenal pop song to push them to the top.
P-NCESSP-NCESS is signed to Sony, and DERAM Color T Milk E is also signed to Sony. However, the two bands belong to different production departments, so they can't easily meet.
For Sony, it can be said that they have a lot of talents at their disposal. Before the wave of bands came, they had a premonition of this new trend, took the lead in preparing many reserves, and assisted U-Z to create Band Paradise.
.
After the idol era started by Minami Saori and the idol myth created by Yamaguchi Momoe, this time Sony took the lead again.
It can be said that that music festival opened a window, allowing the public to have a better understanding of "girl rock", a form that has long had no presence in the Japanese domestic market, and in turn also gave the group that has already formed a window.
More opportunities for girl bands.
In addition, the topic and enthusiasm generated by the music festival also encouraged girls who yearned for rock music but did not have the courage to take action. Later, when the band Paradise was produced, there were many female faces among the bands participating in the show.
These new forces will grow more fruits after entering the music world through programs or other channels.
If there is another Women's Rock Music Festival, the number of singers that can be mobilized and the scale of the festival will be greater than the first time.
The pie painted for Joan Jett really turned out well.
…
After drinking tea, it was getting late. Shinichi Iwahashi was about to stand up and say goodbye.
Nakamori Akina sent him to the entrance. Before Iwahashi Shinichi changed clothes, she picked up the coat on the hanger. When she met Iwahashi Shinichi's puzzled gaze, she looked as if nothing had happened and said, "I'll go see if there's anything in the mailbox."
'Blue Shirts'."
Iwahashi Shin was 100% sure that she named the song like this on purpose, "You can just pick it up tomorrow."
"I might forget tomorrow." Akina Nakamori put one arm into the sleeve of her coat.
This way of acting seemed like she was cheating. Iwahashi Shinichi noticed her childish look, and after thinking about it, he knew what was wrong with her.
"I'll remind you again tomorrow," he said.
After probably guessing what she was thinking, Iwahashi Shinichi didn't go to get his coat.
"tomorrow……"
Akina Nakamori put on her coat first and did not move. She only glanced at his face with her eyes, "Do you really want to go back?"
Having said that, there is no second answer.
Iwahashi Shinichi responded to her awkward look and said, "If you stay, you will have to get up early tomorrow and go home to change into work clothes."
You can never go to work in a date suit.
"Then I'll call you early tomorrow morning." As she started talking, Nakamori Akina suddenly became thick-skinned.
Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Her eyes never left his face. Seeing his reaction, she took a step forward and asked, "Shinichi-kun, did you do it on purpose?"
"What's the purpose?"
"Deliberately waiting for me to tell you to stay."
Iwahashi Shinichi denied, "I didn't wait for you to say that, but I was kind of expecting you to say that."
"It's almost the same as not saying it..." Nakamori Akina muttered.
Iwahashi Shinichi stretched out his arm to hug her, "Then next time I'll ask, 'Do you really want me to go?', okay?"
Nakamori Akina snickered in his arms, but her tone was serious, and she corrected him, "If you ask me that, I will answer 'no'. If you really want to stay, then show the attitude of staying and ask carefully, 'Let me
Can you stay?', that's what's right."
"Okay." Iwahashi Shinichi followed suit, "Can you let me stay?"
Akina Nakamori laughed loudly, and the little awkwardness just now was gone. Iwahashi Shinichi helped her pull down the sleeves of the jacket she had just put on, "Although I didn't bring anything... I can't wear your pajamas."
As soon as she said this, it reminded her of the time she lay on his bed when she first came to the house, waiting for him to go out and help him buy things. Akina Nakamori seemed to be hiding her shyness, but also seemed to be trying to make things even, "Then let me go this time.
Buy it for you..."
"Forget it." Iwahashi Shinichi quickly asked her to stop.
It's really weird to have her run out to buy things for a man late at night.
Make do with it a little bit, use her if you can use it, and let nature take its course if you can't.
Having made up his mind, Shinichi Iwahashi put his arms around her waist like a child, picked her up, and started walking back.
As a result, after taking two steps, Nakamori Akina shouted to stop and asked Shinichi Iwahashi to put her down and first pick up the coat that fell on the ground and hang it up.
Shinichi Iwahashi stood aside and watched, laughing so hard that his shoulders were shaking.
When she was having sex with her girlfriend, her attention was attracted by the coat that fell on the floor. This situation could be used as part of a comedy show...
This Taopusida really reminds me of it every time it comes out.
After laughing, Iwahashi Shin saw her hanging her coat and remembered something. He walked over, dug into the inner pocket of his coat, and took out his wallet.
To be continued...
