Two days after Karuizawa met, the gift that Akina Nakamori said was sent.

As I had said when we met earlier, Shin Iwahashi knew early on that she had bought a gift. I was curious and wanted to know what Akina Nakamori would choose.

When I got the package, it was a large and a small box.

The small box contains a handmade fountain pen insert, and there are many craftsmen in the Karuizawa area, although it is an inconspicuous little thing, after being polished by the craftsman individually, it looks very textured.

Not expensive or cheap, practical but not fancy.

When you receive such a gift, you can appreciate the care that the giver puts into choosing a gift.

Put the small box aside, and then look at the big box - it was a large boxy gift box, lined with a small box, and it appeared larger.

You don't have to open the box, just look at the cover to know what it is: Karuizawa's specialty sweets.

The last gift made him feel attentive, and this one made Iwahashi Shinichi smile.

On the gift box, there is also a card, on which Taopu Sida wrote that this is a dim sum from an old store with a first-class taste that he tasted when he was doing the show, and he wanted to try it.

Gifts and snacks are still bought at the resort. There is quite a little sunset red tour group to Karuizawa for three days and two nights to see the flowers and flowers, after the tour, to the neighborhood with local products.

However, in the end, it was able to be selected to appear on the TV station when it was doing a show, and it was stamped by the dim sum expert Akina Nakamori as a "first-class taste", and the taste is definitely praiseworthy.

When Iwahashi Shinichi eliminated the box of dim sum sent by Akina Nakamori, he thought a little nonsensically in his heart that the audience watched the TV show and followed Akina Nakamori's Amway to line up, and they should not step on the thunder.

As for the evidence, in addition to this one, there is also the one she gave him on Akina Nakamori's birthday last time.

It is said that the TV station went to buy dim sum from the store she frequented, so it can be seen that this Taopu Star is also quite trustworthy in which store is more delicious.

......

Then again, this time the package is so thin, no matter how you think about it, it can't be a snack.

Iwahashi Shinichi went upstairs with the package, recalling the dim sum that Akina Nakamori had delivered, and thought of it a little boringly. When he entered the door, he found scissors and cut open the seal, and it was really a record.

Akina Nakamori's new single "I MISSED THE SHOCK" has just been released.

Akina Mori Nakamori, a child in the shopping street, and Shinichi Iwahashi, the small boss of the shopping street, have played such roles in their letters since Chisato Moritaka's "17 Years Old", and they have enjoyed it.

Shinichi Iwahashi will send her a new single from DREAMS COME TRUE, and a copy of her new single will be sent to Shinichi Iwahashi when it is released. Then, the two exchanged their "tasting impressions" in the letter.

This month, Akina Nakamori's new single was released, and according to the previous tacit agreement, she sent another one to Shinichi Iwahashi.

“I MISSED THE SHOCK......”

Shinichi Iwahashi read the name of the single, put it aside, and routinely went to pick up the letter sent with the record. He opened the envelope and poured it out, and in addition to the letterhead, a small thing was poured out.

It's origami.

Iwahashi picked it up, put it in his hand and looked at it, recognizing it as an origami giraffe.

Is Akina Nakamori folded?

Shinichi Iwahashi, an origami enthusiast, was a little surprised, took the giraffe in his hand and looked at it again and again, and then remembered that there was still a letter that he hadn't read, so he put the origami giraffe aside and looked at the letter.

When Karuizawa met, Akina Nakamori proposed to call him by his name in private, so she rewrote it as "Shinichichi-kun" both on the card she put in the package last time and at the beginning of the letter.

Akina Nakamori wrote the newly released single in the letter, and told him that she chose to perform this year's Red and White Song Festival, so it was a rather intensive publicity period from the release of the single to the Red and White Song Festival.

"Because it's a new song that the audience is not familiar with, it has to be promoted in advance. ”

Seeing this paragraph, Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but think of the band's "Future Forecast II". Now, since we are going to make a rearranged version, we have to make appropriate adjustments to the previous practice of putting the focus of publicity on the Red and White Song Festival.

The propaganda after the year must not be lost, and the propaganda of the year before must also keep up.

Before going to negotiate with the Red and White Song Society, Watanabe Manyumi mentioned that "removing any of the lyrics will make it tarnished", and also mentioned, "If it's a familiar song, it's a different matter."

In this case, after deciding to rearrange the music to welcome the red and white, Iwahashi Shinichi planned to adjust his strategy and divide the promotional period into two parts. It is necessary to publicize both before the year and after the year.

However, there should be a difference between the publicity strategy before and after the year, and it is not a simple advertising bombardment.

"But," Akina Nakamori said in the letter.

She mentioned the publicity of the previous year for another reason, "However, now I feel an itchy throat, which seems to be a precursor to a cold." If you catch a cold during the year-end promotion period, it will be bad when you go to play songs. ”

It's really troublesome to think about the situation where you can't sing with a hoarse voice on stage, and maybe you have to endure coughing and snot.

Shinichi Iwahashi continued to look down.

Akina Nakamori wrote some of her own trivia again, and also mentioned that her sister Mingho also made her debut in the entertainment industry recently. However, such a simple sentence, mixed with a bunch of gossip, seems unnoticeable.

Thousands of people make their debut in the entertainment industry every year, and even if she is named as Akina Nakamori's sister, she is not worth paying attention to until there is a work - at least not by the attention of people in the industry.

When Iwahashi Shinichi saw such a simple sentence, he didn't know whether Akiho Nakamori made his debut as a singer or an actor, but from her practice of mentioning a stroke in the letter but not going into details, she realized that this older sister probably didn't agree with her sister's entry into the art world.

However, since Akina Nakamori didn't write in detail, he didn't delve into it, swept it at a glance, and then looked down. At the end of the letter, Akina Nakamori mentions the origami giraffe attached to the letter.

"It's folded according to the tutorial in the origami reference book. After the kitten you taught last time, I want to learn the same new one. Then, flipping through the origami reference book, I saw the giraffe's folding method inside. ”

"Now, when I see giraffes, I think of the giraffe man in the band (laughs). Seeing this, Iwahashi Shinichi felt quite subtle.

After struggling with the identity of the giraffe man, he continued to read the letter.

Akina Nakamori wrote in the letter, "Although it was a bit difficult for me as a novice to make origami giraffes, it was more interesting to make my own interests than to do it myself." ”

“...... After studying carefully, this one is the most successful one for me. Nakamori Akina's freewheeling handwriting, when she wrote this sentence, looked extraordinarily chic.

"What about Shen Yikun, can you also make an origami giraffe?" she asked in the letter.

Iwahashi finished reading the letter and took the origami giraffe in his hand to look at it.

The most successful of the origami giraffes among the origami novice Akina Mori, after she wrote this, she looked at this decent giraffe, as if she could still see all kinds of waste and defective products that she had broken.

He didn't know what an origami giraffe was going to do.

Just holding the origami paper in your hand and looking at it like this, you will definitely not be able to catch the trick. If you want to learn how to fold, the easiest way is to take it apart and look at it.

But......

Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it, went to get his address book, and found the pager number of Akina Nakamori. Although contact information was exchanged, the number was hardly used.

He looked at the address book and broadcast the numbers in a somewhat rusty way.

......

Akina Nakamori dries her hair with a hair dryer and walks out of the bathroom.

At the end of the year, it was the time to run to major TV stations and attend various large and small music activities, but at such a juncture, she was knocked down by a cold.

However, you can't help but participate in the scheduled shows, and you can't be absent from the promotion of the new single, so there is no way, so the firm has to push off the variety shows that can be pushed off first, and the small music fans also try not to participate.

Only those few frequently visited music programs are still correct.

Even so, because of this cold, it still made the end of this year, which should have been very busy, a little more leisurely after a long time. Tonight, she got home from work early.

Although he didn't have much appetite, in line with the civilian idea that his mother taught him to eat more would make him recover faster, he still cooked the soup by himself and ate seriously.

After dinner, go for a hot bath, and go to bed early, hoping to wake up tomorrow better than today.

Akina Nakamori thought so, and before she lay down early, she found that there was news on the pager.

I picked it up and looked at it, it was an unfamiliar number. She thought about it, went to the telephone, and dialed back. The phone rang for a while, but no one answered.

She put down the receiver, and after a while, the call came again.

"Hello. ”

"Good evening. On the other end of the line, a familiar voice came.

Akina Nakamori immediately recognized who the owner of the voice was, and then, felt a little surprised. She didn't expect Shinichi Iwahashi to call.

The two seemed to rely more on letters than on the phone.

"Good evening, Shen Yijun. She said.

On the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "I received the letter today. ”

"Really?"

Akina Nakamori recalled what she had written in that letter...... And that origami giraffe.

She had a lot of thoughts.

At this time, Shinichi Iwahashi on the other end of the phone spoke again, "Listening to the voice, Akina-san's cold seems to be a bit serious. ”

......

Even though the sound comes through the earpiece, you can still hear some signs of a cold. It's like this when you make a phone call, if you go to participate in the recording of the show, it is estimated that the situation is even worse.

"I thought it would be fine soon...... "Akina Nakamori's voice changed slightly" came from the phone.

When Iwahashi heard this, he was a little worried about her. As a result, Akina Nakamori herself said first, "The current voice sounds terrible, doesn't it?"

"It's a little hoarse, but it's not related to 'bad'. Shinichi Iwahashi corrected her.

Half of that was comforting, but half of it was true. Akina Nakamori, who has a low voice, now has a slightly hoarse voice, which sounds unique.

Of course, it is better not to praise others for their good colds.

This is especially true for the perfectionism of Akina Nakamori's performance. Asking her to endure all kinds of minor problems caused by colds, and if you want to praise her hoarse voice, it is estimated that it will only have the opposite effect of comfort.

As soon as Iwahashi thought of her worries about the effect of the stage performance, it was enough to say so far.

"Thank you, though, for making a special call. On the phone, Akina Nakamori seemed to be very happy.

Iwahashi Shinichi's tone was as usual, and he didn't stay on the topic of the cold for too long, "I received the letter today, and I first saw the giraffe of origami, and I want to say that your hands are so skillful, and they are very similar when folded." I don't know how to fold giraffes, so when I see a giraffe, it's probably the same as when you see an origami kitten, right?"

"Eh~"

As soon as Akina Nakamori was told by him, he couldn't help but recall his feelings when he received the origami kitten. However, Iwahashi Shinichi said that he would not break a giraffe, and when she heard this, she was a little happy for some reason.

Fortunately, it was a phone call, otherwise, such a sudden smile would probably be thought of something strange.

"Shen Yijun should be able to learn it soon. Akina Nakamori said.

Shinichi Iwahashi said a little seriously, "Until then, I may have to ask you to tell me how to fold it." ”

"Do you want me to be a teacher?" Akina Nakamori seemed to be a little amused by this.

However, this kind of amusement is better to say that it is happy about it.

"Okay?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked her.

Akina Nakamori sold a little, "Then please wait for me for a while." He asked, "Okay?"

Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but smile, "Of course it's fine. ”

Akina Nakamori put down the earpiece, and after a while, she went back and forth, holding her origami tool book in her hand, and turned to the page that introduced how giraffes were folded, and it seemed that she was going to be fried and sold.

Iwahashi Shinichi originally thought that she was asking her to recommend a reference book, or to write the steps in the next time she wrote a letter, but she didn't expect that she was going to teach on the spot.

Some people are good at teaching, and some people are not very good at being teachers. Akina Nakamori thinks that Shinichi Iwahashi is a person who is good at teaching others, but she obviously lacks the talent for this kind of teaching herself.

On the phone, she confronted Shinichi Iwahashi and described the methods in the origami reference book, occasionally adding a few words about her own practices in practice.

Although in her mind, after so many failures, she has a clear idea of how to make an origami giraffe, but it is really a challenge for her to describe it in words.

As a result, in the end, she said it for a long time, and all Iwahashi Shinichi heard was "this", "that", "this", "that", "and then it succeeded", such a puzzling thing.

As she spoke, Akina Nakamori coughed twice.

Then, I heard her sigh and say, "I'm sorry, it seems that the more I talk about it, the more confusing it becomes." ”

"It's up to me to say I'm sorry. "Iwahashi Shinichi is a little embarrassed.

Pulling the peach star who had a cold and said a bunch of things, it really shouldn't be. ...... Although she was the one who took the initiative to talk about it.
