Heita leaves Akina Nakamori's arms and runs around the living room.

Her gaze followed Pingtai's small figure. Chieko guessed what her daughter was thinking, "It's okay, Taijun Hei can already play by herself." ”

Akina Nakamori withdrew her gaze and said with a smile: "I still think of Taijun as a baby." ”

She doesn't go back to her hometown often, and she doesn't see Heita much, thinking that her little nephew still needs to be taken care of by an adult.

Heita, who is over three years old, is the age when he can take him to an amusement park and have fun. Akina Nakamori's upcoming concert will be held at Yomiuri Land in Kawasaki City.

However, while three-year-old Heita is welcome at the amusement park, children are not allowed at the concert.

"On the day of the concert, I took Taijun Ping to see you backstage. Chieko said.

Akina Nakamori had a concert rehearsal in the afternoon, and during lunch, she barely used chopsticks. If you are well fed, you will not be too lazy to move.

Three-year-old Heita was not allowed to enter, and Chieko was in poor physical condition, the indoor performance was fine, and the outdoor concert might not be able to support it, so she said early that on the day of the concert, she would only go backstage to see her.

"Where are you going?" Heita looked up from the plate in front of him.

Akina Nakamori picked up the rice sticking to his face, "Eat slowly, Heitai-kun." She smiled and said, "I'm going to have a concert next month, do you want to go backstage to play?"

She whispered softly, like a toddler.

Tai Ping corrected her seriously, "Mingcai-chan, I'm not a baby anymore." ”

Chieko was beside her, looking at her daughter who was speechless for Heita's words, and laughed. Akina Nakamori deliberately widened her eyes and competed with her little nephew, "It's too early to say that now." ”

A vegetable that a three-year-old child can't do anything about.

Ping Tai was very confident, "It's okay, I'm about to be a brother." ”

"Ahh ”

Only then did Akina Nakamori understand why today's Taita had the feeling of "not a child", "I see! ”

She smiled and complimented him as she took the rice off the little man's face.

"It's just a possibility. Chieko explained, "So, Heita's parents made an appointment with the doctor today. ”

Akina Nakamori nodded, "In short, congratulations to my brother and sister-in-law." He looked at Ping Tai who was immersed in eating, "And Ping Taijun......"

Her happy smile suddenly revealed a hint of loneliness.

Chieko looked at her daughter's expression and felt confused. She could see that this moment's depression was because of Pingtai, but for a while she couldn't think of what her daughter saw in Pingtai that would make her lonely.

But without waiting for Chieko to think about it, that trace of loneliness has disappeared without a trace.

"I watched the show planned by that Iwahashi-san. Chieko said, "I heard you say that he is a very stable person, but I didn't expect to be able to plan such exaggerated content." ”

"Just looking at the way I look now, I can't imagine that I can be an idol......"

Chieko smiled, "I never thought you couldn't be an idol. After all, I knew in my heart that my daughter was speaking for Iwahashi Shinichi.

"Iwahashi too, it seems that anything can be done. ”

Akina Nakamori politely called Iwahashi Shinichi "Iwahashi" in front of her mother. This old-school place is still learned from Chieko.

"But the show is really good. "Chieko is sincere.

Little Heita was on the side, listening to the chat between her grandmother and aunt in a daze.

Although Akina Nakamori spoke for Shinichi Iwahashi, her mother's words did not completely reach her heart. SHE THOUGHT OF SHINICHI IWAHASHI WEARING A GIRAFFE HOOD AND WORKING AS A KEYBOARDIST IN DREAMS COME TRUE......

He himself is not as simple as planning a pompous show.

Akina Nakamori secretly poked and thought, Iwahashi Shinichi can't be underestimated.

......

Akina Nakamori's upcoming concert will be held at a venue that is based on Yomiuriland, the largest amusement park in Tokyo. This amusement park is popular with idols, and popular idols sometimes hold concerts here.

After cleaning up the dishes, Akina Nakamori didn't stay here for long, so she said goodbye to Chieko and Heita and went to the rehearsal venue of the concert.

Before leaving, she changed into the sportswear she wore for rehearsals at her mother's place.

The concert is scheduled for the 16th of next month, and there are many singers who have used the Yomiuri Land venue, and the specific data is clear, and the arrangement of the stage equipment is well documented, so it is not a trouble.

For this stage of rehearsal, a large warehouse was used. The layout of the Yomiuri Land stage is simulated, with a sign of the stage position posted on the floor, and the location of each camera and the auditorium is indicated directly in front of the "stage".

In order to interact accurately, it is necessary to memorize these details in advance.

The playlist of the concert is pasted on the whiteboard diagonally opposite the "stage", and each song has to be re-arranged, with the speakers on, and the accompaniment tape of the song is played over and over again.

The warehouse is very airtight, and the sound is gathered in this place, and after a while, it makes people feel that their heads are buzzing.

The little assistant was waiting in the "offstage" place, watching Akina Nakamori over and over again, confirming with the director of the concert, and admiring the endurance of his own big star.

Looking over from this side, Akina Nakamori frowned, not knowing what to say to the director, after which the music stopped.

For a moment, the little assistant had a feeling of liberating his ears.

But I couldn't let go of my breath, and the accompaniment sounded again, but the accompaniment of "TANGO NOIR" started playing again.

And across from her, Akina Nakamori was in the groove again.

She rehearsed meticulously in front of the empty "auditorium" as if nothing had happened.

"Momoi. ”

Bigmo's agent walked over.

"Yes. The assistant listened attentively.

Big Ben told her to book a table for tonight's dinner. By the time the rehearsal is over, it's definitely not too early, and arranging a dinner party is essential.

The little assistant was faintly happy to get such a task—he was finally able to go out for a while.

After the call, you don't have to rush back...... She made a small calculation in her heart, but she didn't hesitate to go out.

After Daben finished the task, he ignored the little assistant, crossed his arms with both hands, and stood by to watch Akina Mori rehearse. She has a beautiful physique, and it is pleasing to the eye just by standing there.

With a strong sense of rhythm and first-class emotional switching, you can cut into the performance of the song anytime and anywhere.

Follow Akina Nakamori and be her agent, I don't know how many rehearsal scenes I've seen, it's said that it's boring and noisy. But Big Ben watched from the side, and he didn't feel bored.

Even if it is just a rehearsal, Akina Nakamori consciously or unconsciously maintains the seriousness of a "formal performance".

......

The whole rehearsal, over and over, has to be tossed for two or three hours.

During the intermission, the speakers were turned off, and Akina Nakamori's switch was switched off, not as tight as just now, so that the staff also relaxed.

She is the absolute protagonist of the stage, and not only that, but it is also a bit of a thing.

This made the staff present unconsciously move their emotions with her emotions. When she had a straight face, everyone was cautious, but now they relaxed, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

"Akina-san, please use it. ”

The little assistant who had just sneaked out to let out the wind handed over the prepared towels and water.

"Thank you. ”

Akina Nakamori smiled at her, thanking her like a child. This appearance is completely different from the little assistant standing next to her just now, who is arguing with the director with a straight face.

But when it got closer, Akina Nakamori's sweat-soaked forehead, as well as her shiny face and neck, could also be seen more realistically.

She took the towel and wiped her sweat and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The little assistant didn't back down and watched her movements.

Akina Nakamori took a sip of the drink's straw and suddenly let out a "hey". The assistant thought that the drink was not in good taste and was about to speak.

"Higuchi-san," Akina Nakamori called a staff member.

She looked at the staff member surnamed Higuchi and casually complimented, "Your shirt fits perfectly." ”

The staff member surnamed Higuchi wore a blue denim shirt today.

Suddenly complimented, he was a little flattered.

Akina Nakamori casually praised and called the little assistant, "Please." "Hand her the towel and drink bottle.

After the little assistant took it, Akina Nakamori lay back and breathed a sigh of relief.

......

The blue shirt is invincible.

ON THURSDAY NIGHT, "THE BEST TEN" AIRED AS SCHEDULED. One after another rankings were announced, and the top 10 singers, some came to the scene, some performed online, and some did not show up.

THE THREE PEOPLE FROM DREAMS COME TRUE STAYED IN THE BREAK ROOM, WAITING FOR THE STAFF TO CALL THEM. Today, all three are wearing blue shirts.

"If you wear a blue shirt, it's really a good match~"

A little bored while waiting, Miwa-chan gently hummed the first line of their number one single "Eyes to me".

Tonight, there are idols, singers, and bands who come to participate in the show.

became a popular band, and in prime-time shows like "THE BEST TEN", the band also had its own separate lounge. You can have no scruples in it, and it won't be a problem to do whatever you want.

Finally, the staff came and called them.

"DREAMS COME TRUE, please prepare for your debut. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi stood up. The three of them followed the staff, and walked around the corridor, although a little tortuous, but already familiar after coming a few times, to the backstage of the studio.

......

On the back of the studio is the champion waiting to appear. On the front of the studio, there is Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, who is hosting the show with ease, and the male host who is partnered with her.

"THE BEST TEN" has been on the air since 1978, and since then, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi has served as the host. During the preparation of the show, when she was invited to be the host of the show, the only requirement she made was: the data must not be falsified.

Then, under the "absolute truth of the data", the show has been done until now.

From the first days of the show, when the show first aired, when the audience in Tokyo went crazy for this unprecedented music show, and at its peak, it was a golden event that received more than 40% of the ratings, to the ratings that have begun to decline in recent years.

From Momoe Yamaguchi's retirement to Akina Nakamori's invincibility in "THE BEST TEN". From THE CHECKERS to Hikari GENJI. From the brilliance of the song to its bleakness, from the weakness of the band, to the present......

"Then it's time to announce the number one of the week. ”

"Let's see, who is the first place......

With the host's words, the flip board began to move, and finally froze -

"The first place of the week is the debut of DREAMS COME TRUE's "Eyes to me"!"

Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, who has witnessed the renewal of the music scene for ten years, at this moment, has witnessed this out-of-the-box band win their first airborne championship.

Her voice fell, and the orchestra played the music.

The revolving glass door opens, and DREAMS COME TRUE appears in the studio in a blue shirt.

......

"If you wear a blue shirt, it's really a good match~"

The show didn't start, but when I saw the three members of the band wearing blue shirts on the TV screen, Yoko in front of the TV gently hummed the first line of the champion single.

"It's a little weird to wear a blue shirt for the giraffe-kun. Kanda glanced at the TV and said to Yoko.

Yoko didn't think so, "Isn't that pretty good?" ”

"Hmm......" Kanda listened to Yoko say this, and looked at the giraffe man on the TV again.

On the TV screen, DREAMS COME TRUE, who won the first place of the week, was invited to the middle of the studio. There, a ribbon of colored balls hangs. IT'S A REGULAR PART OF THE BEST TEN.

Under the guidance of the host Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, the three members of the band pulled the ribbon of the colored ball together, and the colored ball exploded, and the ribbons inside spread out.

"Congratulations——!!"

The giraffe man is the biggest target, and many of the streamers that spread out are hung on his hood. The short Kuroyanagi Tetsuko still wanted to take it down for him, but in order to cooperate with the little old lady, the giraffe man could only bend down.

"Haha!"

Kanda, who was watching TV with Yoko, couldn't help laughing, "Isn't this exactly the same as a real giraffe having to bow its head?"

Yoko also laughed when she heard Kanda say this, imagining the giraffe bowing its head.

On New Year's Day this year, Kanda and Yoko each went to each other's homes to meet each other's parents. In March, Kanda proposed to move in with Yoko, and the couple started their premarital cohabitation mode.

Yoko learned to be like a wife, taking care of this small apartment, and Kanda also looked like a husband - although it was the first time, no one knew what a husband should be like and what a wife should be like.

HOWEVER, TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE SO CLUMSY, BECAUSE THEY LIKE DREAMS COME TRUE, SIT IN FRONT OF THE TV TOGETHER AND WATCH THE SHOW THEY STARRED IN.

"However, the Giraffe Gentleman is very gentle. Yoko commented.

Kanda let out an "um", noncommittal. On the TV, the commercial before the official performance ends and cuts back to the show. The three members of the band were already ready on stage, and the lead singer was guarded in the middle by her two teammates, one left and one right.

"Take a closer look, Giraffe-kun is also good in a blue shirt. Kanda muttered.

At this time, the first line of the song was sung by Miwa Yoshida on the TV screen.
