Yukiko Okada's brokerage contract officially ended on March 31, and the retirement concert was scheduled to be held on the last day of the contract.

This retirement concert will be the last job in her contract, and at the end of the concert, the moment she retires from the stage, her idol career officially comes to an end, opening a new chapter in her life.

Such an arrangement plan is quite meaningful, and SUNMUSIC can be regarded as attentive.

"It's Mizoguchi-san's suggestion. Yukiko Okada explained to Shinichi Iwahashi.

This time, Shinro Mizoguchi personally served as the producer of Yukiko Okada's retirement concert.

From the time Okada Yukiko chose to retire after the end of the showdown contract, Mizoguchi Noburo began to prepare, and from the year before the end of the contract, he began to adjust the work of Yukiko Okada.

After discovering Sakai, his ardent hope shifted to the newcomer he had high hopes for, but even so, he still made time to run ahead of Yukiko Okada's retirement before she withdrew.

"This Mizoguchi-san takes good care of you. Iwahashi said.

But I couldn't help but think in my heart, first I had high hopes for Yukiko Okada to cultivate with all my might, and then I put my heart and soul into Sakai Noriko, I really don't know whether to say that this agent has vision or no vision, good luck or bad luck.

"Mizoguchi-san is a good man," said Yukiko Okada, "and Mizoguchi-san brought me from Nagoya to Tokyo." ”

When she got into trouble, Mizoguchi Noburo hid the suicide note and returned it to her intact, and his brightness saved Yukiko Okada on the other hand.

"How's it going? Yukiko Okada pulled the topic back, "Can you come?"

Shinichi Iwahashi readily agreed, "Since it's your retirement concert, of course I'm going." I'm going to cheer you on off the stage. ”

Hearing him say this, Yukiko Okada on the other end of the phone smiled cheerfully, "Then I'll start imagining you cheering me on now." ”

"Really?" Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "That's going to make me look handsome." ”

"You're already handsome......"

Yukiko Okada felt a little embarrassed when she said this, and raised her voice to change the subject, "Then I'll send the tickets to your company later, is it okay?"

"I was supposed to send it to you personally, but in the end, the schedule was too tight this month. She said.

Shinichi Iwahashi naturally understands her busyness before her retirement.

The day after the phone call, Yukiko Okada sent the tickets by express mail to GENZO's office in Kawasaki City, where the staff helped to sign for them.

Iwahashi Shinichi was busy with the matter at hand, and occasionally returned to the office on the way, and when he opened it, in addition to the ticket, it also came with a handwritten text message:

"Iwahashi-san, I look forward to seeing you at my concert. ”

The handwriting is beautiful, giving people the impression of an honor student.

Iwahashi read the letter, put the ticket in an envelope along with the text message, and put it in a drawer in his office. On the last day of March of the trip, I wrote the sign "Arikiko Concert" and continued to devote myself to work.

......

February 27, TV Asahi.

The amateur bands waiting for the show were gathered in a large lounge.

Bands of different compositions, different dresses, and different genres gather here, which is simply the carriage of the Orient Express-

What?

It's entertainment, not a detective, and there's no detective and a villain who deserves it.

However, there is one man in black who wears a giraffe hood and mixes in as if nothing happened.

In such a room, Shin'ichi Iwahashi, who wears a giraffe hood, is not at all conspicuous, and there are all kinds of strange people here anyway.

Even if someone occasionally turns their eyes on the giraffe man, they quickly look away, no different from looking at the band members in heavy makeup or fancy costumes, and have no extra interest.

Sitting here, sharing a room with an amateur band, the identity has changed from a picker on the delegates' table to a candidate waiting to be selected.

This show, which was planned by him and participated in the production of the whole process, because of the change of identity, it brought him a wonderful stimulation that he had not had before.

"KIRIN-KUN—"

Waiting for the opening time was a bit boring, Miwa Yoshida, who was sitting next to Shinichi Iwahashi, approached him, almost leaned on his shoulder, and talked to him face to face.

Wearing a hood, hearing will be affected. In addition, it is such an occasion where everyone gathers together, and the voice is so loud that it will be blinded, so I have to whisper so close to my face.

Although Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't feel the temperature of Miwa-chan's face, Miwa-chan could only rub against the fluffy hood.

"Kirin-kun", this is the stage name of Shinichi Iwahashi in the band, which was decided only two weeks before participating in the show. KIRIN MEANS GIRAFFE, AND THE NICKNAME HAS NO TECHNICAL CONTENT AND NO SPECIAL MEANING.

Since Iwahashi Shinichi wears a giraffe hood to cover his face, he has to do a full set of things, and if he calls "Shin Yichi-kun" while talking in the background, if he is heard, then the vest will fall off first.

Think a little further, if you win the competition, Yuji Miyake introduces the members to the audience, and there must always be a name that can be announced to everyone.

......

If you want to talk about nicknames, in fact, Miwa-chan has thought of a bunch of various names for him, and the number is so large that it is comparable to Shinichi Iwahashi who took out a bunch of meditative band names when he decided to form DREAMS COME TRUE.

However, Miwa-chan has no talent for choosing a name at all, and she is not as good as Shinichi Iwahashi, who was once disliked by her.

The bunch of strange names were completely rejected by Shinichi Iwahashi, and in the end, he finally made the final decision himself, "It's okay to just call Kirin, it's easy to understand." ”

HIS OWN NAME IS IN HIS OWN HANDS.,MIWA-CHAN, WHO WAS VETOED BY HIM TO THE POINT OF SELF-ABANDONMENT.,CAN ONLY ADMIT THAT HE'S A NAME.,FROM THEN ON.,AS LONG AS HE WEARS A HOOD,,CALL HIM "KIRIN-KUN.。

Having said that, Japanese is also quite interesting.

Giraffes are pronounced KIRIN (キリン) in Japanese, and Kirin is also pronounced KIRIN (きりん) in Japanese. If you think about it like this, the stage name "KIRIN" is quite majestic.

However, by the way, if you don't have the Kirin trademark, KIRIN beer can also be called giraffe beer.

Playing homophonic stalks will cost you!

......

The staff of the program team stood at the door of the lounge and called the bands of the first and second groups to wait.

The bands that had been ordered stood up and walked out of the break room.

"It's eleven o'clock. ”

Twenty minutes before the start of the live broadcast, their band was scheduled to appear in the fourth, from one to four, and it won't be long before it starts.

As soon as Shin'ichi Iwahashi wore a hood, his vision was blocked, and his thoughts drifted around. Thinking in my heart, at this time, Haruko Akamatsu and Manyumi Watanabe have already sat on the representative seat.

"The show is about to start. ”

Miwa-chan said, reaching out and holding Shinichi Iwahashi's hand.
