(Supplement)

At half past four in the afternoon, Kato came to TSUTAYA in Shibuya. It's not yet time to start, but quite a few people have gathered around here.

He looked around and thought to himself, there were many more people than he had imagined.

You don't need to open your mouth to communicate, and occasionally look at each other and make eye contact, you know that these people have the same purpose as Kato, in order to participate in the free event held here by Chisato Moritaka today.

This year, after repeating his career as a ronin, Kato finally passed the entrance exam for his target university, getting rid of the heavy psychological baggage he had in the past.

Kato, who had always regarded reading as the only way to get ahead, heard others say that a large company prepared a trip to Okinawa for them in order to persuade them to join the company, and that a senior was contested by several companies and finally joined the top company in the industry.

By the time he takes office, the prospects will be as they are now, perhaps even brighter than they are now.

After letting go of his baggage, Kato did not forget that Chisato Moritaka who gave him strength in his repetition career is still a loyal fan of hers, and not only that, but he also felt a wonderful pride that he was the earliest fan of Chisato Moritaka and that "Insight Eye" had discovered this treasure idol.

When the people around him supported Akina and Kyonkyon, and liked Yoko and Shizuka, Kato always only supported one idol, Chisato Moritaka, hoping that she would become popular soon.

Just as as he is a fan, he has shaken off the burden of repeating and moved on to a new life, Kato hopes that his idol will also be able to get rid of the status quo of being half-black and not red, and move towards a broader future.

Not long ago, Chisato Moritaka released a new single "17 Years Old", and Kato bought the single as soon as possible and listened to it over and over again. About two or three weeks later, a classmate suddenly asked him, "Kato, did you buy "17 Years Old" by Chisato Moritaka?"

After Kato replied, "I bought it," his classmates asked him to borrow the single to listen to.

"It's okay to borrow it, but why do you suddenly want to listen to Chisato-chan's single?" asked Kato.

Instead, the classmate showed an expression of "You don't even know that you're a fan of Chisato Moritaka?", and then told Kato about what Kichiichiro Kawahata wrote about Chisato Moritaka in an article in Weekly Hyundai.

"I went to the record store and said it was already sold out, and the record company was urgently printing it, so I had to wait. The classmate said, "I guess everyone who read the magazine went to buy it, right?" I wanted to go to the record rental store, but I thought that there was such a loyal fan of Chisato Moritaka around me, so I might as well ask you. ”

Of course, Kato was not stingy to lend the single to his classmates, and he was also worried about the article that his classmates said, so he went to read the "Weekly Modern", and Kato was both happy and grateful for Kawabata Kichiichiro's insight.

......

IN SHIBUYA, THERE ARE MANY MORE PEOPLE GATHERED HERE TODAY THAN EXPECTED.

Because the venue is reserved in advance, this free event was decided before the release of the single, so I didn't expect that there would be such a grand occasion after the release of the single, and I didn't expect that the place where the performance was going to be performed today was likely to be surrounded by the fans who flocked to it.

Chisato Moritaka stayed in the lounge on temporary loan, listening to her agent Kawashima tell her that the number of visitors might be more than double as expected, and in order not to have an accident, she has temporarily seconded staff to maintain order and control the number of spectators who enter depending on the situation.

Now hearing Kawashima tell her this, Chisato Moritaka still feels a little unreal.

I seem to have a lot of attention all of a sudden, and there are a lot more calls to talk to Kawashima-san about work. In the past, Kawashima-san went to the TV station to talk about the program, but now, the person from the TV station took the initiative to call Kawashima-san.

Now, the fans who came for her outside are crowding the place......

"Mori Gao!" the agent Kawashima finished reporting the previous incident, and suddenly raised his voice to call her name.

Chisato Moritaka was startled and quickly straightened up, "Yes, Kawashima-san." ”

Kawashima smiled kindly and told her in a firm tone, "The audience here today is twice as large as expected, so in return, you will have to work three times harder, and now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”

"Yes, I see. Chisato Moritaka nodded vigorously and took a deep breath.

After a while, the staff came over and called for Chisato Moritaka to come out. She followed Kawashima out of the lounge and to the makeshift stage.

Before I could walk over, I first saw the audience who surrounded this layer like an iron bucket. And the audience who saw her appear let out a commotion that wanted to cheer but tried to refrain as much as possible.

That unreal feeling suddenly became real, and Chisato Moritaka really felt that these people were here for her.

She walked onto the makeshift stage, bowed vigorously, and when she straightened up, she smiled, "Hello everyone, I'm Sentaka Chisa, thank you for coming today." ”

In response, she was twice as enthusiastic from the audience as expected. Kato was in the middle of it, feeling the enthusiasm from all around, and really feeling that more and more people were liking Chisato Moritaka.

......

There are fans like Kato who have been following Chisato Moritaka from the very beginning, and there are also fans who have known her on TV or other means after the release of this single and liked Chisato Moritaka.

After Kichiichiro Kawahata's essay came out, some people were reminded of the past, some people resonated with the golden age he described, and some people simply wanted to enjoy music.

No matter which one it is, attention from all directions gathers to Sentaka Chisa.

After reading the article, I wanted to buy a copy of "17 Years Old" and listen to it, but when I went to the record store and asked, it was already sold out? It turns out that other people who have read the magazine have the same thing as me?

I couldn't buy a single, and while I was waiting for the record company to replenish the stock, even the single from the record rental store was in a hurry - it wasn't a popular idol's work in the first place, and there weren't many records available for rent.

I can't rent it, so I have to call the radio station for on-demand, and when the radio is broadcast, even people who haven't read the article and are not interested in Mori Taka Chisato will listen to it, and this rhythmic rhythm and familiar and smooth melody, the more you listen to it, the more you feel it, and more and more people are also pulled into this lineup chasing Mori Takachi and her "17 Years Old".

Even the ice cream parlor can line up for dozens of meters, and the love of following the trend is written into the bones, as long as a gust of wind blows, then it will become a trend.

After enough brewing, Warner Pioneer felt that the heat was about the same, and finally stopped whetting the public's appetite, ended the state of small-scale replenishment, and began to officially distribute goods on a large scale.

Then the time for the real showdown comes.
