The two of them had just taken their seats a few minutes earlier.

This is a café next to Fuji Television, and it is next to the TV station, and it is not uncommon to see people from TV stations and well-known and unknown artists every day.

That said, there is something special about this combination.

One of them is Akina Nakamori at Mompo Star, and the other is Yukiko Okada, who has been retired for several months.

There is a lot of forgetfulness in the entertainment world, but Okada Yukiko was at her peak when she retired, and the momentum of her retirement was great, and her reputation was good when she retired, and it was not long before she faded out of the entertainment world, and when she suddenly appeared here, someone still recognized her.

Of course, even if it turns out that the person who is with Akina Nakamori is Yukiko Okada, no one will come forward to disturb him.

Okada Yukiko's current dress looks no different from the common female college students on the street, after retiring, although there is no need to manage the body anymore, but it is not immediately fattened, and it still looks very slim.

However, if she is not an idol, she no longer has to maintain a certain image at the request of the firm, and she has to report to her agent for instructions even if she changes her hairstyle, so she also changed the hairstyle of the former idol and cut her short hair.

It's still summer vacation, and Yukiko Okada returned to her hometown in Nagoya a while ago, and has returned to Tokyo in the past few days. Akina Nakamori's schedule is tight, it's rare to have a vacation all year round, a small gathering of friends, first ate together, and then went shopping together, and now, in order to take care of Akina Nakamori's next itinerary, I chose to sit in a café next to the TV station.

"We've eaten at this restaurant several times before. ”

The ordered things haven't been delivered yet, the two girls are chatting, and Yukiko Okada said it, with a trace of unconscious nostalgia in her tone.

"This shop is very popular with everyone. ”

At that time, not only did the two of them come over for tea together, but they also occasionally got together with other idols, young people of the same age, men and women, to have a lively drink and talk about recent trends and other topics.

Idols basically debuted as teenagers, and among their peers, there is both competition on the stage and getting along off the stage.

However, after Yukiko Okada retired, it was the first time she came to this store. became an ordinary person and made friends with ordinary people, and her range of activities also changed.

Although the circle is different, it is rare to see each other, and most of the time they can only be contacted by phone, but when the two girls meet, they still feel cordial from the heart, and they can still play together.

Akina Nakamori enjoyed listening to Yukiko Okada tell her about school, and she thought it was fresh and interesting. She debuted as a teenager and didn't even finish high school, and college life was a distant and foreign thing to her.

“...... Then, everyone agreed to go camping and sketching in Karuizawa before school started. Yukiko Okada said. She loves to draw and participates in the art club at school.

Akina Nakamori listened to it with relish. Waiting for the coffee to be delivered, she took the napkin on the table casually, and while chatting, she folded it in her hand, and before she knew it, there was an origami pigeon on the table.

"That's amazing. ”

Akina Nakamori smiled modestly: "It's a very basic origami technique......"

"All I know is how to origami airplanes and paper cranes...... And the stars. Yukiko Okada leaned forward and looked at the pigeon on the table.

"There will be so many, and the powerful person is Kiko. ”

Akina Nakamori joked with her and told her, "I only recently started learning origami, so I bought a book related to origami and followed it." Now is the stage where the enthusiasm for learning is the highest, and it is said by Daben-san that he will fold wherever he goes. ”

"Haha!" Yukiko Okada smiled heartily.

Of course, this is an exaggeration, but Akina Nakamori does like origami these days.

"That's not a long way off. Akina Nakamori looked at the pigeon on the table, and sighed with a little emotion, "It's amazing to have that kind of three-dimensional folding, like magic......"

She remembered the origami cat that Shinichi Iwahashi had given her.

After receiving the origami cat, she took home this somewhat chic birthday present.

Origami kittens, measured in money, are not worth a penny. However, this origami kitten, in the eyes of Akina Nakamori, is a precious gift.

Although he has never communicated with Shinichi Iwahashi about gifts, Akina Nakamori can understand that if a person like Shinichi Iwahashi can take out a worthless gift, then the gift must contain a valuable heart.

He's not the kind of person who would go out and tease people.

The cat is a small one, Akina Nakamori was worried that it would be lost or crushed, so she returned home, searched for a long time, found a transparent perfume box, let the cat make a home in it, and put the perfume box on the dresser.

How did Iwahashi-san fold this cat?

Akina Nakamori sits in front of the dresser, and when she sees a cat, she thinks about it from time to time. And in order to find out what kind of magic he used, Akina Nakamori went to buy an origami book.

However, the cat folding method in the book, and the accompanying finished picture, are not the same as the cat that Iwahashi Shin's folding, and he doesn't seem to use the folding method on the market.

However, although she didn't understand his magic, after reading the origami book, Akina Nakamori felt that the craft of origami was even more interesting than she imagined, so she followed suit.

......

Akina Nakamori is about to break up with Yukiko Okada in half an hour, and when that happens, Big Ben comes to the café to pick her up and then goes to Fuji TV to prepare for the recording of the show.

Yukiko Okada also made arrangements next, "I'm going to Iwahashi-san's recording studio in Yoyogi later." ”

Akina Nakamori knew about her part-time job at Shinichi Iwahashi's production company, and Yukiko Okada told her about it as if she was showing off, and the retirement gift that Shinichi Iwahashi gave her was a GENZO employee card.

Perhaps, it was at that time that he realized the friendship he gave to Yukiko Okada, and Akina Nakamori had the idea that the less valuable the gift he gave, the more heartfelt it was.

"Iwahashi-san seems to be very busy, and I haven't met him in the studio once, and Kuribayashi-san in the studio also said that he rarely came over. Yukiko Okada told Akina Nakamori.

"Although I go to Iwahashi-san's recording studio twice a week, I still have to talk to him on the phone. ”

Yukiko Okada talked about Shinichi Iwahashi, and Akina Nakamori just listened and barely interjected. However, I remembered his other identity in my heart.

DREAMS COME TRUE is in the promotion period, and it's no wonder that he's so busy that Yukiko Okada can't meet it once.

Does Kiko know that Iwahashi-san is the giraffe man in the band?

Akina Nakamori had such an idea in her heart, but she didn't say anything.

......

Sachiko Kamaike had a full day off today, and the night before, when he returned from work, Natsuo Okamoto was full of energy to think about how to make use of this day off, and the plans listed even included extreme arrangements such as going to the ski resorts in Chiba or going to Nikko for a day trip.

However, in the face of this plan of Natsuo Okamoto, Sachiko Kamachi said that she had an appointment the next afternoon and had no way to act with them.

"That would be a shame. Natsuo Okamoto was a little discouraged, "It's fun to go to the ski resort on such a hot summer day." ”

Chiba Prefecture has invested heavily in the construction of artificial ski resorts, and the slogan is that you don't have to go far to enjoy the world of ice and snow all year round. It's not been long since the ski resort opened, and now is the time when it's very popular.

"Don't say that, Xia Sheng-chan. The model in the company joked about Sachiko Kabuike, "Maybe Sachiko is going on a date that is a hundred times more fun than going to the ski resort or Nikko." ”

"I can't be secretly getting a boyfriend, right?" said another model.

Suddenly, several models looked at Sachiko Kamaike's eyes with a different meaning.

In such a scene, extroverted and cheerful people only need to make a joke with them, but they can block their gossip back, but it is a person like Sachiko Kamaike who is not good at dealing with it, once she reveals an attitude of not knowing how to reply, it makes the coaxing person more energetic.

"Yuki-chan can't go, then tomorrow's plan ......" or Natsuo Okamoto, almost bluntly changed the topic and rescued Sachiko Kamachi from the fire and water of gossip.

"Don't accommodate me. Sachiko Kamaike shook her head, thanking Natsuo Okamoto in her heart, but knowing that they all wanted to go to the ski resort and didn't want to spoil other people's fun, "Even if you arrange it, it's good for me to go to the movies and go shopping by myself." ”

"Yes. Natsuo Okamoto was not reluctant, "The level of pleasing to the eye in a haute couture store is that even one person can walk around for three hours." ”

Sachiko Kamaike knew that she genuinely thought that a haute couture store had such a charm, not just to get under the stairs.

So, today, early in the morning, Natsuo Okamoto and a few other models went to the ski resort in Chiba, and Sachiko Kamaike went to see a movie by herself in the morning, and after watching the movie, she went to Kinokuniya Bookstore in Shinjuku, had lunch, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, she met Haruko Akamatsu at the café where she had made an appointment to meet.

The two sat down for a while and went to Yoyogi's recording studio together, and this afternoon Shinichi Iwahashi was there. The person who called Sachiko Kamaike to go to the studio again was Haruko Akamatsu, but the person who wanted to meet her was Shinichi Iwahashi.

Haruko Akamatsu has been working with Shinichi Iwahashi for a long time, and although she can't guess what this boss thinks, she understands that he is not the kind of person who will do meaningless things.

After personally supervising Sachiko Kamaike last time, Sachiko Kamaike has vaguely realized that Shinichi Iwahashi seems to have fallen in love with Sachiko Kamaike.

At that time, if he only found out about Iwahashi Shin's admiration for Kamaike Sachiko, then, today, he asked Kamaike Sachiko to meet for the third time, and Haruko Akamatsu was sure that Iwahashi Shinichi must have some kind of idea for her.

In order to realize her dream of being a singer, she became a model despite being introverted, and Sachiko Kamaike's choice is not naïve, but this naïve determination is often the most difficult to make.

Haruko Akamatsu admires such a Sachiko Kamaike, and hopes that Shinichi Iwahashi, who is regarded by Sachiko Kamaike as "a person who can make people's dreams come true", will also be able to realize Sachiko Kamaike's dream.

In addition, she also felt in her heart that Sachiko Kamaike was an excellent candidate for the new lead singer of the band.

Even if Shinichi Iwahashi no longer pursues her withdrawal from the team and no longer asks her to find a new lead singer, for Haruko Akamatsu, if she can't fulfill her promise to "find a suitable lead singer to come back", she will have a pimple in her heart for the rest of her life.

For Haruko Akamatsu, after listening to Sachiko Kamaike's audition, she no longer thinks that she can find someone who can surpass Sachiko Kamaike.

Even if there is really someone more suitable than Sachiko Kamaike, Shinichi Iwahashi and ABNORMAL can't wait for her for the rest of their lives. Therefore, she really hopes that Shinichi Iwahashi, who has created miracles again and again, can come up with something good this time.

Sachiko Kamaike's dream is realized, she fulfills her promise, and ABNORMAL is resurrected.

......

Once born and twice cooked, the third time she came to the recording studio, Sachiko Kamaike was also much calmer.

Seiichiro Kuribayashi is not here today, and Tatsuya Hirakawa is also here. When the two girls arrived, Shinichi Iwahashi was discussing something with Tatsuya Hirakawa, and there were more than a dozen music scores on the table that had been painted and changed.

"Welcome. ”

Seeing the two girls come in, Shinichi Iwahashi put down his work and stood up. After saying hello, he introduced Tatsuya Hirakawa, "This is Kamaike-san." ”

"Ahh ”

Tatsuya Hirakawa got up, looked at Sachiko Kamaike with an inquiring eye, and nodded, "Hello." ”

"This Hirakawa-san is the captain of ABNORMAL. Iwahashi Shinichi said a little.

Sachiko Kamachi listened to Haruko Akamatsu talk about the band she had been in, and when she saw Tatsuya Hirakawa, she knew a little bit about his identity and paid tribute to him.

Haruko Akamatsu looked at Tatsuya Hirakawa, and from his expression, she realized that Shinto Iwahashi had told him about Sachiko Kamaike. Not only that, but he seems to be quite interested in Sachiko Kamaike as well.

"I'm going to show you my hand personally. Iwahashi said as he walked into the small reception room.

The so-called show of hand, which sounds amazing, is actually just brewing some instant coffee. However, the others step away first, and the other three people who remain there have time to observe each other and communicate appropriately.

Anyway, ABNORMAL's captain is Tatsuya Hirakawa, and he has a good evaluation of Sachiko Kamaike's audition tape, but he has never met her in person.

He hadn't planned to stay in the studio this afternoon, but Iwahashi Shinichi came over at noon, and said that Haruko Akamatsu would bring that Sachiko Kamaike over later.

In front of Tatsuya Hirakawa, Shinichi Iwahashi happily admits that he has the idea of letting Sachiko Kamaike try out the new lead singer of ABNORMAL.

As far as what I heard the audition brought, Tatsuya Hirakawa also thought Sachiko Kamaike was pretty good. However, although Tatsuya Hirakawa is self-deprecating and doesn't have a good eye for people, the matter of choosing the lead singer is first of all to meet the captain's eyes.

So, he was going to go back and stayed.

"Interviews" are still necessary.

"I've heard Kamaike-san's audition tape. ”

Tatsu Hirakawa is also not good at words, and he goes straight to the point when he speaks, "You are very good at singing. ”
