232. Goodbye

Shinichi Iwahashi has something to say, Kenichiro Nozaki is not a fool, he can hear it.

He originally thought that Iwahashi Shinichi would continue to expand on the topic, but instead of continuing it, he turned things around lightly.

Watanabe Manyumi also felt strange, he was the one who cared about the big prize, and he was the one who was silent now.

In the middle, Kenichiro Nozaki left the table to go to the bathroom, and when it was just the two of them, Watanabe Manyumi asked him, "Why did you only say half of the words just now?"

"Is it so obvious?" Iwahashi asked rhetorically.

"It's almost like writing 'I have a trick to use' on my face. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi's expression was subtle, "Can you please dispel the strange idea of writing on my face?"

"Until then, can you please finish the story?" Watanabe Manyumi counter-killed.

Iwahashi Shinichi was defeated and honestly confessed, "I'm not deliberately selling off, if you want to say that the idea of 100% success, there is no such thing." It's just that Goki-san and Denis are both complacent, so they think that maybe they can take advantage of a loophole. ”

Janis is bound to operate around for Kondo, treating Akina Nakamori as an opponent who has already been banned. Hiroshi Gogi regards Akina Nakamori as his opponent and wants to use Jennis's hand to get rid of this fierce rival.

However, since Jennis, who dared to compete for the big prize with 180,000 copies, dared to operate, it means that Jennis has a backhand that can ignore the sales gap between Jennis and Gogi Hiroshi.

The more unbelievable it is, the more it should be guarded against.

They have the idea of letting Genesys solve Akina Nakamori, but they may not really be able to do what they want. A full bow may not have anything, and if it is released with an empty string, it can only be smashed.

"But I don't want the bow I pull out and let it out with an empty string. Iwahashi said, "So, I didn't tell Nozaki-kun what I thought just now." Because, I don't know what Akina-san thinks yet. ”

"If she is willing to withdraw from the big prize and support Kondo to win the award, no matter what the result is, there is no need to continue. ”

He wanted to do something for her because he felt that Akina Nakamori's sacrifice was not worth it in the game between genres and firms. However, if she has a positive attitude towards the matter of giving up the big prize, she thinks that her efforts are worth it, even if she offends the industry, it is a big deal to go home to her husband and children-

If she really thinks so, then she can do whatever she wants.

Iwahashi Shinichi told Kenichiro Nozaki about this in order to confirm Kenne's thoughts. However, after Kenne's idea, there is also the idea of Akina Nakamori more important.

In other words, to compete for the triple hegemony, this is not something that should be said by Shinichi Iwahashi, but something that Akina Nakamori should say.

......

Recently, Akina Nakamori has often wanted to meet Shinkachi Iwahashi again.

Such a thought appeared in her heart, and even she herself felt incredible. All along, the meeting between the two has been accidental, without the constraints of agreement, and has always maintained a hazy distance.

Still, this mode of getting along with each other, like turning over a card that doesn't know the answer, gives her a sense of anticipation with a sense of adventure.

Although the relationship is free without having to agree on the time and place of the next meeting, once you have the idea of meeting immediately, you realize the weakness of this relationship.

If Shinichi Iwahashi leaves the entertainment industry or changes careers to pursue entertainment work other than music, the connection may be severed.

Akina Nakamori's negative thoughts are entangled with one thing that has annoyed her during this time.

This year's career continues the success of the previous year, and towards the end of the year, various awards are coming, and the most important record awards are no exception. For singers, among the various awards, the most sacred is probably this award.

When I won the big prize in my first year, I had a long-cherished wish fulfilled and my career came to a climax. When she won the Grand Award the following year, Akina Nakamori realized that the Grand Award was not the end, but a new beginning.

This year, it is a three-in-a-row that no one has ever done before...... It's impossible to say that you are not impressed.

If she didn't have a career, she couldn't get to this point just because of her mother's expectations for her and her desire to improve her family's situation. It is because of the enterprising spirit to go to a high place that he has the inspiration and courage to try in many ways.

However, along with the unprecedented success and achievements that have not been achieved before, there is also the persuasion of director Riyu Kosugi, and the request of her boyfriend Masahiko Kondo.

Kondo told her that he wanted to win the big prize this year.

Akina Nakamori thought it was incredible, and his tone, when it came to winning a big prize, was like a child pointing to a toy in the window and saying "I want that" to an adult...... It's so easy and casual.

It is obviously the highest award in the music industry.

Compared to that, how can she win the big award with 180,000 record sales? Even if she listens to Kondo's persuasion and withdraws from the big awards, she knows that this is a fantasy.

If it really does, Denis's side will definitely use some shady means. At that time, either Kondo's calculations will still fail even if he does, or the fairness of the big prize will be undermined.

Akina Nakamori, who dreams of becoming a singer, has a sacred award in her heart. If she destroys its sanctity because of herself, then she herself feels uneasy.

The Record Awards are the second best music program at the end of the year after the Red and White Song Club, and the songs that have attracted the attention of the whole country and thus won the awards will usher in a wave of sales and topic growth after the end of the program.

This year, Kondo's popularity has been in crisis, perhaps because he wants to save a wave of momentum by winning the award. But what is the difference between this approach and stealing the bell?

Kondo's request sounds outrageous and vexatious.

However, when Director Kosugi persuaded her, he said something else. He told himself that the big prize side may not want a female idol to achieve this unprecedented triple hegemony.

According to Director Kosugi, under the guise of making way for Masahiko Kondo, it is actually making way for Hiroshi Gogi, who is more likely to win the championship. Together with Jennis, they are all cooperating with the singing industry.

Kondo Masahiko didn't really want to win this award, but to protect the face of the singing industry.

"With sales of 180,000 copies, how can you have the courage to win such a big award. Rie Kosugi said it for granted, as if her guess that Denis was going to use some means was cranky.

He is a director of the record company, has a great eye and opinion when it comes to music, and is also a person that Akina Nakamori trusts. However, hearing him say this, Akina Nakamori intuitively didn't believe it very much.

Not for anything else, because Riyu Kosugi's words contradict the attitude that Masahiko Kondo showed in front of her.

Saying that he wants a big prize, Kondo Masahiko is like a bear child who doesn't give up until he gets his hands on his toys.

"Please think about it, Akina-chan. Rie Kosugi said to her, "I won't hurt Akina-chan." Now I am talking to you about this, and I am also protecting you and finding a solution that is best for you. ”

“......”

Is this really protecting her?

At such a moment, Akina Nakamori suddenly wanted to see Shinichi Iwahashi once.
