394. Great Expectations

At night, the club in Azabu is having a lively party.

There were a lot of men and women in attendance, all of them young people. Among these people, Matsumoto Nario is considered to be the oldest, and at this party, he seems to be out of place with the others.

In fact, when it comes to identity, he was the only one who had nothing to do with the entertainment world6 and was only invited by the protagonist of the party to come.

"There are a lot of people here. When Matsumoto arrived, he complimented the protagonist of the party.

Indeed, for this birthday party, about twenty or thirty people gathered here to have fun. However, hearing him say this, Kondo Masahiko's heart felt like he had been stabbed by something.

However, he still hid the unhappiness in his heart, and said to Matsumoto Nario with a smile: "It's good to be lively." ”

In previous years, there were more people at his birthday party than this year.

Once out of power, people in the entertainment industry are more realistic than anyone else. Because of this, Masahiko Kondo, who was once at the top of his idol, has more difficulty than anyone else in this kind of gap, and wants to make a comeback no matter what.

Rise like the phoenix......

However, the idol world can no longer tolerate him.

The matter of the big prize made Jennis lose face, Jenny San had no hope for him, and on Mary San's side, he listened to the beating and scolding, and there was Tetsuko Kuroyanagi to help intercede, and it was not easy to get Mary San's forgiveness.

As long as Marisan is around, his position in the firm is secure. However, out of the studio, he is still an idol who has offended half of the music industry and is no longer popular.

Now the firm has both a junior team that debuted early but is still popular, and Hikari Genji, who has just debuted and pushed, even Toshihiko Tahara, who was at the same time as him, is in a much better situation than him, and now, he has long lost the value of being invested.

The profession of an idol is different from that of an actor, as long as an actor has a good work, he can regain attention, but once the idol has passed the flowering period, he will be immediately killed on the beach by the back waves.

However, even if he transforms into an actor, the actor industry does not look at idols differently, not to mention that this time is different from the past, without the momentum of the day, but there is almost no way out in the idol industry, and now to be an actor, you can only start from a supporting role.

It is precisely because it is unbearable to bear the drop from a height that he desperately wants to make a comeback, how can such Kondo Masahiko endure erasing the aura of the past and start over from a small role?

He was determined to focus on racing, but he couldn't get enough results.

If you can't even see him on the track, then in the eyes of the world, you will completely fall to the bottom. Because of this, even if he wants to slap his swollen face and become fat, Kondo Masahiko has been paying out of his own pocket to compete this year.

Racing is a very expensive sport, and if it continues like this, Kondo will not be able to bear it.

has always been a smooth life, but suddenly came to this dilemma of facing no way out. At such a moment, Kondo Masahiko hates nothing more than one person.

It's all Nakamori's woman's fault! If she hadn't caused trouble, would things have come to this?!

Mary San is right, his life is all because of being with that woman, so it will get worse and worse!

When he decided to date, Nakamori was still a little idol in the rising period, and he was already the apex of the idol world, but after that, his momentum continued to decline, but Nakamori became more and more popular.

This kind of woman will only steal other people's fortune, and she can't bring any good things to others......

Remembering that Akina Nakamori rejected his offer to buy a house, and seemed to be indifferent to anything he said, Kondo Masahiko was annoyed that this woman who had been played by him in the past suddenly didn't listen to him for anything.

After the big prize incident, a cold war began, Kondo Masahiko tried to ease the relationship with her, but the more he had to do something, the more he alienated Akina Nakamori from him, and after the negotiation of buying a house collapsed, the relationship between the two had long existed in name only, no different from a breakup.

Both of their birthdays are in July, however, Akina Nakamori's birthday a few days ago had nothing to do with Masahiko Kondo, and now his birthday party has nothing to do with Akina Nakamori.

Not only that, but tonight's heroine is another person-

"Ame. ”

Kondo smiled and introduced Matsumoto to the other person who was at the venue.

At the age of 20, Mei represented Xiangjiang at the Tokyo Music Festival, and then released records and held concerts in Yuben, and during this period, there were many activities in Yuben.

In the 80s, there was a lot of interaction between the music scene and Xiangjiang, and idols like Kashiwahara Yoshiki, who had expired in the local area, were still very popular in Xiangjiang, and the same was true for Kondo Masahiko, who was still a big star in Xiangjiang when the local popularity had declined.

When he went to Xiangjiang to participate in the event, Kondo Masahiko and Ah Mei met.

He lied that he had broken up with Akina Nakamori and dated Amei, and later after the paper couldn't hold the fire dew stuffing, he also threw out the peerless quote "Amei, you are so independent without me, you can do it, but Nakamori can't live without me."

And now, not only did Nakamori leave him and not survive, but took the initiative to alienate him, and the relationship between the two existed in name only. It's with Amei, because of her estrangement from Nakamori, she opened her heart knot and approached him again.

"This Matsumoto Sanko is an expert in real estate investment. "Kondo Masahiko introduced Nario Matsumoto to her.

If it weren't for the collapse of the conversation with Akina Nakamori, the person Matsumoto Nario wanted to see would be another person.

Kondo Masahiko and Akina Nakamori proposed to buy a house, not to buy a house for the sake of marriage, as he himself said, but with other ideas.

After the big awards, he offended the music industry, and he was eager to invest in the racing business, so that he could make a comeback, and he needed a lot of money for this. In today's world, if you want to make a lot of money, the fastest thing is to invest in real estate and stocks.

In the golden age everywhere, he is not without investment, otherwise the income from being an idol alone is not enough to support the current racing career - Genesys idol looks glamorous, the remuneration is not high, and the commission is very powerful.

Besides, in addition to racing, there are also all kinds of expenses and money, how can there be enough time?

Now he urgently needs a large sum of money to turn around, and the best way is to buy land and make money from this land. I thought about letting Akina Nakamori come up with this "initial fund", and the wishful thinking was empty, and Kondo Masahiko hit the idea to Ame again.

However, Ame and Akina Nakamori are different, and Kondo is well aware of the difference in the personalities of these two.

If you want to convince Akina Nakamori, marriage is the best bait to use. Although the bait eventually dissolved in the water because it had been soaked in water for too long and lost its taste, Kondo Masahiko believed that it was Akina Nakamori who had a problem, not that he had used the wrong bait.

But Amei has been crawling around since she was a child, seeing through the world, not as naΓ―ve as Nakamori, in front of her, if Kondo Masahiko lies, it is easy to be seen through. Besides, she has an independent personality, and the bait of marriage will definitely not work for her.

Kondo pondered her thoughts and thought of another strategy.

After thinking about it, he proposed to her, "Now is the golden age of real estate, and investing with your eyes closed will win." I have a fancy for a good piece of land, and I plan to buy it and entrust it to a professional to help take care of it, do you want to do the same?"

Ah Mei has an independent personality and has her own ideas and opinions. In this case, the only way to do this is to throw out interests.

However, it is not enough to have interests, but also to have some human feelings.

"Let me come along?"

Kondo replied, "That's right, let's invest together, and in that case, the meaning of this land will be different." ”

If you lie to Amei, you will be seen through. However, the superlative lie is that every sentence is true. Besides, Kondo thought to himself, he didn't want to cheat her out of money, he just borrowed it first.

There is not only the romance of love for her, but also the benefits that can actually make money in front of you, and even the reasons that have been found in advance to justify the behavior. Everything seems to be above board, but Kondo's true thoughts are not bright enough.

......

However, whether it is using marriage as bait to persuade Akina Nakamori, or to win over Ame to buy land, the current Kondo Masahiko has never thought of marrying any of them.

Now he longs for that kind of "absolute power", the kind of absolute power that allows Marisan to manipulate the big awards, can make the usually majestic singing school helpless, and barely maintain decency with the help of Akina Nakamori's power.

This kind of power, only Mary Sand, who has shown him this power, can give him.

Marisan didn't like Akina Nakamori in the first place, and after the big prize incident, she hated Akina Nakamori even more for making her follow. What's more, after the incident, Akina Nakamori didn't even want to help him save his reputation, and Mari-san hated her even more because of this, and wanted them to break up sooner than anyone else.

Although there was some unpleasantness in the matter of the big prize, Marisan didn't seem to have given up the idea of making him a son-in-law, hoping that Keiko could get along with him more.

The reason why Mari-san wanted him to be his son-in-law, Kondo Masahiko understood in his heart, because he was obedient.

The Empress of Genesys wants her daughter to be the "master" of all things like her, so she has to give her her most faithful dog.

Kondo Masahiko knew what Mari-san was thinking, but he didn't take it to heart. What if you are at a disadvantage at the beginning? Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Even if you are a "house slave," there will be times when you turn over.

While he followed Marisan's idea and offered his courtesy to Keiko, who was lukewarm to him, he hoped to get what he wanted from Ame and wait for him to make a comeback......

Matsumoto explained carefully about the land and how it would work in the future, and Kondo Masahiko watched Ame gradually show an interested expression, and his mood improved.

Although Nakamori will only steal his fortune, he will not be able to bring any good things. But that's where that happens. Kondo Masahiko knew that from here he began to change, and there was another road in life, and there was another good fortune waiting for him.

......

Yoyogi's recording studio.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Seiichiro Kuribayashi and Tatsuya Hirakawa were sorting out the score when they heard the door of the recording studio knock twice from the outside, and then they were pushed open.

"Good evening. ”

Appearing in front of the two was Shinichi Iwahashi, who hadn't shown his face for a long time.

Iwahashi Shinichi has been very busy these days, and it is not easy to meet him. When talking about work these days, the most commonly used are pagers and telephones. The sudden appearance in the recording studio tonight even surprised the two working men.

After the simple greetings, Shinichi Iwahashi sat down, chatted with the two of them for a while, looked at the music scores they had sorted out, and then asked Seiichiro Kuritabayashi, "You helped keep the audition tape that Akamatsu-san said, right?"

"Yes. ”

Seiichiro Kuribayashi stood up and walked over to the console to find the tryout tape for Sachiko Kamaike. While looking for it, he smiled and said, "You only came now, and Haruko has asked me several times in private." ”

Haruko Akamatsu didn't call Shinichi Iwahashi a second time urging him to listen to the audition tape.

Shinichi Iwahashi also smiled, "I've been really busy lately. ”

"Everyone knows this...... "Seiichiro Kuribayashi was halfway through his words, preparing the sample he had found and hurriedly beckoning him, "It's okay, Iwahashi-san." ”

"Thank you. Iwahashi walked over to the console and put on his headphones.

This is a cappella "Roppongi Heart", in which the female voice sings the first line, and Iwahashi Shinichi can't help but think that it is really a clear voice.

Clean, without a trace of impurities. This first sentence alone is enough to make people listen carefully.

Iwahashi Shinichi's absolute sense of tone, every flaw in this audition tape can't hide from him, and it can be heard that the girl who sings this song has not received much professional and systematic training, because of this, it shows her talent.

Where did Haruko Akamatsu find such a person?

Shinichi Iwahashi finished listening to the audition tape and took off his headphones.

Seiichiro Kuribayashi looked at his expression and said, "Haruko asked me if I could bring her friend to the studio, and I thought it would be okay since it was her friend, so I took it upon myself to agree." Unexpectedly, it was asked for me to help record the audition tape. ”

"Did Kuribayashi-san help record it?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked him, "What kind of person is that?"

"You mean Kamaike-san?" Kuribayashi Seiichiro smiled, "To be honest, when I first saw it, I didn't expect it to be someone who could sing such a song." ”

"Surname Puchi?"

"It's the same surname as the Holy Son Sanben's family. Tatsu Hirakawa on the side also said.

"However, it is certainly not a relative of the Holy Son. Seiichiro Kuribayashi's tone was so sure that Tatsuya Hirakawa looked sideways. He explained unhurriedly: "If it was really a relative of Shengzi San, he wouldn't just be a model artist." ”

That's right. If it is the cousin of the Holy Son, in this era of popular drag family debut, how can she be dug up by talent scouts and packaged to debut as an idol.

Miho Nakayama Shinobu Nakayama, Yuriko Ishida Hikaru Ishida.

Even the unconscious sister of the Taopu Star family has a talent scout to sign her debut.

"Model artist?" Shinichi Iwahashi was a little out of shape.

Haruko introduced it like this. is also because she is a model, and she came over that day just after work and put on makeup, so she said that she couldn't imagine that she was so good at singing by her appearance. Seiichiro Kuribayashi said.

"Is it so powerful? Then I'll hear about it too. ”

Tatsuya Hirakawa knew for the first time that there was such a trial tape, and it was sung by someone brought by Haruko Akamatsu. Seiichiro Kuribayashi praised him, and Shinichi Iwahashi seemed to think that this Kamaike-san sang well, and he was also curious.

Of course, another important reason for curiosity is that this is the audition tape of the people brought by Haruko Akamatsu.
