Akiko Matsumoto had a noon song variety show recording on TBS today, and Shinichi Iwahashi accompanied her to finish recording the show, packed her things and prepared to leave.

The elevator landed, and before it could step out, it received a reckless gaze. After finding the owner of this line of sight, he felt a little happy in his heart, this is a coincidence, right?

That is to say, there are only a few TV stations in the simulcast network, and the entertainment industry is so big, and Okada Yukiko is on the rise, and it is when the itinerary is scheduled from morning to night every day, so it is only a matter of time before you meet it on the TV station.

It's just that I didn't expect this to come so early sooner or later.

"Ahh Yukiko Okada looked surprised.

I thought he was a staff member of Fuji TV, but now it seems that this person is a staff member next to Akiko Matsumoto.

is also the champion who came out of the show "STAR! Birth", and Yukiko Okada certainly recognizes this senior who debuted two years earlier than her, but has been unknown.

After a moment of surprise, she bowed to Akiko Matsumoto, "Hello Matsumoto-san!"

Matsumoto Akiko actually doesn't often meet with Yukiko Okada, but every time they meet, this junior, who has been held in the palm of her hand since her debut, greets her very seriously.

It is said that in the entertainment industry with strict seniors, this is basic.

But the seniors who have never been popular, in front of the younger generations who are in full swing, if the shelf is too powerful, it will inevitably have a little bit of "ugly girl love".

Because of this, Yukiko Okada's politeness to her is all the more commendable. Therefore, Matsumoto Akiko has always liked the character of this junior.

After saying hello, Yukiko Okada looked at Shinichi Iwahashi a little cautiously.

He bowed to her politely, as if he had never seen her before, and had never spoken to her at all. But the more casual it is, the more it has a sense of secrecy.

"Hello, I'm Matsumoto-san's new agent, Shinichi Iwahashi. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi reported his home, but he didn't say it to Yukiko Okada, but to hand the business card to Yukiko Okada's agent.

"Hello, I'm Asako Hayakawa, Okada-san's agent. ”

Yukiko Okada has a total of three agents, including the head of SUNMUSIC's first production department, her most trusted Noburo Mizoguchi is her overall manager, and in addition to two other agents who are in charge of her day-to-day affairs.

The agent who follows her today is Asako Hayakawa, who not only acts as her agent, but also takes care of her daily life.

When she first debuted, Yukiko Okada lived in the house of the president of the office, and it was not until the second half of last year that she moved out and moved into an apartment rented by the office in Minami Aoyama. There are two rooms in total, one for her and one for Asako Hayakawa.

The guardian takes care of it at all times, which also makes Yukiko Okada unable to have a 100% private life. Qingshan's apartment, so far, only acquaintances of female idol friends have been guests.

Greeting and exchanging business cards is really just a matter of a few tens of seconds. In the entertainment industry, I don't know how many times I have to repeat this situation every day, and I don't know how many business cards are scattered, and everyone has learned how to achieve their goals on the premise of saving time.

This is a circle that pays more attention to "fame" than anywhere else, and the unknown cannot eat it.

After greetings from a chance encounter, both sides went their separate ways. Akiko Matsumoto and Shinichi Iwahashi walked outside, while Yukiko Okada followed Asako Hayakawa into the elevator. Before the gate closed, she looked out with some concern.

It turned out that he was Akiko Matsumoto's agent, called Shinichi Iwahashi.

Yukiko Okada wanted to say "thank you" to this person, but she couldn't talk to him or say that she had met him.

Yukiko Okada turned her head, and the agent, Asako Hayakawa, was putting the business card she had received from Shinichi Iwahashi into the business card box.

On the other side, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akiko Matsumoto left the TBS building.

Today's work is over here, Matsumoto Akiko looked in a good mood, and said to Iwahashi Shinichi, "I made an appointment in the evening to have dinner with Rebecca's NOKKO-chan." ”

Iwahashi Shinichi asked, "Are you familiar with each other?"

"We joined the company at about the same time, and at that time we were not popular, and we often commuted together by tram. Later, Rebecca became popular after releasing "Friends", and moved out of her current apartment, but sometimes they met for dinner. ”

It's not easy to say that Rebecca is popular.

After signing Watanabe Productions, he finally made his debut, but there was no splash at all. THE FOLLOWING YEAR, THE BAND'S LEADER AND GUITARIST, TAKEHIKO KIDU, QUIT AND TOOK DRUMMER TATSUYA KONUMA WITH HIM, AND THE TWO FORMED ANOTHER BAND CALLED RED WARRIORS.

Without a guitar, a drummer, and a captain who guarded the general direction of the band, Rebecca almost disbanded and returned to her hometown. It was also the keyboardist Tsuchihashi Rider who was ordered to pick up this mess, and found a new musician to reorganize Rebecca.

As a result, it was a blessing in disguise, Yasuo Tsuchihashi cooperated with NOKKO seamlessly, and the band survived Jedi, and finally became popular with "Friends".

"If you want to talk about the song 'Friends', I really like it. Iwahashi said.

It was because of listening to this song "Friends" that he moved the idea of imitating Rebecca's group of a band centered on the female lead.

"Really?" Akiko Matsumoto listened with the joy of complimenting her, "Then I'm going to tell NOKKO-chan that my new manager is a fan of her band." ”

"Hey, hey......" This is an unauthorized addition of fans, right?

As a result, a few days later, when Shinichi Iwahashi went to pick up Akiko Matsumoto, she presented him with a "big gift", a "Friends" record signed by all the members of Rebecca.

"I told NOKKO-chan that she was happy and went to the rest of the band and signed the record together. I also asked me to convey it on my behalf, saying thank you Iwahashi-san for your support. "I actually told me about it.

"Then I would like to ask you to pass it on my behalf and say thank you to all of you. Iwahashi said. It wasn't bad to receive an autographed CD, even though he even rented the "Friends" he had heard, and he was a veritable fake fan.

"Am I a microphone?" Matsumoto Akiko pointed to the tip of her nose and made a slightly confused expression.

Iwahashi Shin turned a blind eye and didn't bother to pay attention to this drama.

The days had to go by day by day, and in April, everything was normal.

I went to the office for a meeting, communicated with the TV station, took Akiko Matsumoto to a show, and if I stayed in the office until the evening, I might be caught by my boss and colleagues for drinking.

In addition to completing the work, Shinichi Iwahashi is looking forward to the 12th. The effect and repercussions after the show was broadcast determined whether he would continue to be an ordinary office worker in the future.

I thought that the usual days would go directly to the twelfth, but at noon on the 8th, a phone call was made to Iwahashi Shinichi.
