Akina Nakamori has never played with such a "scheming".

After realizing that she should take the initiative, she encouraged herself in her heart, thinking about meeting him.

I don't pin my hope on accidental fate, and the first thing that comes to mind is to ask for help from Yukiko Okada. Yukiko has always kept in touch with Shinichi Iwahashi, and since she went to college this year, Yukiko's work has decreased, and she is not seen much in the workplace. But privately, the two often talk on the phone.

During the chat, Kiko Ariki will also tell her about Shinichi Iwahashi.

Just like Akina Nakamori has a secret with Shinichi Iwahashi, for Yukiko Okada, the acquaintance with Shinichi Iwahashi and what happened is also a secret.

Akina Nakamori knew about Kiko and Shin Iwahashi, so in front of her, Kiko was able to speak freely.

If you ask Yukiko, she will definitely help. However, Akina Nakamori was selfishly reluctant to contact Shinichi Iwahashi through Yukiko, remembering that the last time they met, Shinichi Iwahashi said that he was working as a producer for a newcomer from Warner Pioneer, and would rather go far and avoid his agent Daimoto, and secretly instructed his assistant to ask her to help inquire about the recent recording arrangements for Chisato Moritaka.

With this little "scheming", he waited for him and said the sentence "what a coincidence".

But she hadn't told such a lie at all, so she was very embarrassed to face Iwahashi Shin for a while. In addition to this, there is also a kind of shame that destroys the tacit understanding with him.

Deliberate accident consumed Akina Nakamori's courage, and when Shinichi Iwahashi congratulated her on the results of her new single, Akina Nakamori didn't know how to say it for a while.

Iwahashi Shinichi looked at Akina Nakamori's expression, and at first he was puzzled, but then suddenly became enlightened.

......

"That's it. ”

In the pantry of the recording studio, Akina Nakamori and Shinichi Iwahashi sat opposite each other.

The reason why they sit together like this is not so much to conform to Akina Nakamori's intentions, but also to say that this is also in line with Iwahashi Shinichi's intentions, and he originally cared about the big prize.

As a result, as soon as Akina Nakamori opened her mouth, she was like a child, not only telling him the ins and outs of the matter as it was, but also telling him without concealing it along with the careful measures of this deliberate meeting.

This kind of personality that can't lie is too honest to lie, and it looks a little funny and a little cute in front of her troubles, and in addition, it also makes Iwahashi Shinichi feel her purity and sincerity.

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't have much contact with Akina Nakamori, but more than once he thought of the word "purity" in his heart.

As soon as Shin Iwahashi heard her words, he didn't tell her, and when he first saw her, he guessed that this was not a simple "chance encounter".

It's just that it's not easy for him to muster up the courage to seek the opinion of someone he doesn't know very well, and it's even more difficult to explain things truthfully after meeting, and he doesn't want to trick her anymore.

"I see. He remained silent as if he had noticed nothing.

Self-exposure used Akina Nakamori's courage to a lot, but because of this, sitting in front of Shinichi Iwahashi was a "harmless" girl who completely unguarded and unreserved.

"Actually, if you want to talk to me about this, you should have an answer of your own, right?" Iwahashi Shinichi said not very implicitly, "Moreover, this answer is different from the choice you have in front of you." ”

"......" Akina Nakamori can't refute this sentence. Or maybe it's too right.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't express his opinion on this, but asked her first, "In that case, what do you think yourself?"

Seriously, the Iwahashi Shin Record Awards have no direct relationship or interest, because in this way, they can look at all this without being affected.

"Me?"

"Yes, you're a strong candidate for the Grand Prix, what do you think of it?" said Shinichi Iwahashi, "and your own ideas are the most important." ”

"For singers, this is the crowning award. "Akina Nakamori is honest and has questions and answers.

"So, now this supreme award, do you want to give it to others?"

"But ......"

Akina Nakamori didn't want to give up this award. The award wasn't for her, and for whatever reason, at least she wanted it to remain sacred.

If the Grand Prix loses its sanctity, not only will it be worthless in the future, but the trophies it has won will also be eclipsed.

It is because of this that she wavers in her heart in the face of persuasion. However, she refused in her heart, and she was still carrying two burdens thrown by Director Kosugi and Kondo Masahiko, which made her uncomfortable.

"Nakamori-san, I think it's better to put your own ideas first before thinking about the outside world and other people's thoughts. Iwahashi Shinichi said, "A life of concession alone will not work." ”

"Life is not a life for you to endure, but a life where you can say 'no'. Happiness is not true happiness if it requires giving up a certain part to get it. ”

This is a simple truth, so simple that when he says it, it makes Iwahashi Shinichi feel like he is making chicken soup for the little girl and saying innocuous words.

However, to put it simply, for Akina Nakamori, it is something she has never achieved.

However, the reason why we should think about ourselves before thinking about others does not mean that we are selfish, on the contrary, we should be responsible for ourselves and others in life by keeping our own bottom line in advance.

A life without a bottom line, whether it is asking or giving, is actually dangerous.

"If you really want to talk about it...... This single, the lyrics and songs were sent to you by Kato-san himself, saying that he wanted you to sing it, and in the production process, it also used the power of many behind-the-scenes personnel, and it is not just your own credit. ”

"If you think about other people's thoughts, can you ignore the thoughts of everyone who is on the same side as you and wants this single to get what belongs to it?" asked Shinichi Iwahashi.

“...... No. Akina Nakamori looked away.

So, again, your own thoughts are the most important. "After that, whether you insist on going for the big prize or giving up the big prize, it's your idea that decides everything." ”

"But, before that, I want to correct you one thing first. Iwahashi Shinichi told her, "Director Kosugi wants you to ask the firm, which is not true. If you ask the firm, you're imagining that the firm has turned its back on you. ”

"If you first open your mouth with the precaution and temptation of the firm, how can you get a sincere answer? ”
