318. A new life

The idols who don't want to leave regrets and the audience who don't want to leave regrets, with such simple wishes, work together, so that the atmosphere of the whole concert surpasses every one since Yukiko Okada's debut.

Even the rampant teenagers in fancy costumes are usually avoided outside, but at this moment, when they wave the light sticks in their hands to send support, the audience, who are also fans, does not feel noisy.

Shinichi Iwahashi watched Yukiko Okada's performance and saw her performance on stage, and while being infected by her wonderful singing and solid and steady typhoon, he couldn't help but think in his heart that he was worthy of receiving uni orthodox idol training and being regarded as an idol created by Seiko Matsuda's successor.

Although the strength may not be top-notch, but in terms of all aspects, the level is definitely first-class.

With the development of the times, the model of idols is constantly updated, and the "orthodox youth" that started from the most basic things and cultivated little by little is becoming less and less, and the public's taste is inclined to personalized idols.

As soon as Yukiko Okada retired, the orthodox idol cultivated according to the model of cultivating Yukiko Okada, is the façade of SUNI, and at the same time, it can be regarded as the last defense of the traditional model by traditional agents like Noburo Mizoguchi.

Shinichi Iwahashi, who gave her a standing ovation when Yukiko Okada made her debut, sat in his seat and enjoyed her performance after the performance began.

Akina Nakamori, who stood up with him tacitly, although the two were next to each other, they did not communicate again, but looked in the direction of the stage again like two ordinary audience members.

This approach may not be based on a tacit understanding, such as when we met for the first time at the Budokan Hall, and regarded the matter of "watching the performance as an ordinary audience" as a sign of respect for Yukiko Okada on stage and respect for each other.

......

The concert lasted until the end, and Yukiko Okada mentioned the topic of "finality" for the first time.

Before the word was spoken, it was a grand concert that was far more cheerful and lively than before. And when the music stops and she says the word "final", the feeling of regret spreads from the stage to the entire venue like a stone thrown into the water, and the ripples on the surface of the water.

"Today, it's the final show. ”

Encore's session, back on stage, Yukiko Okada with her signature innocent and pure smile at the time of her debut, facing the audience.

When she debuted, she was innocent and was called "the little princess from the realm of love", and when she was still participating in the "Star! Birth" competition, she captured the hearts of many viewers with this smile.

Later, the girl's innocent smile was stained with a little sadness, and her eyes were no longer as smart and lively as before, and once looked worrying, like a lifeless plastic flower and a soulless puppet.

"It's been four years since I debuted as a singer. ”

From the big screen, you can see that Yukiko Okada's eyes are shining, as if she has ordered eye drops. But it wasn't an artificial eye drop, it was a natural emotion.

Compared with when he first debuted, of course, his eyes are no longer so innocent, but after spending that bad time and regaining his strength, he is again smart and lively.

"When I was young, I dreamed of becoming an idol, but later I participated in "Star! Birth", debuted as an idol, sang songs from many excellent musicians, and had such great fans. ”

Yukiko Okada paused, "I feel very happy that my dream has come true." ”

"Come on, there is a ——!! of Kiko"

From the auditorium, there were such cries of encouragement.

From the decision to focus on his studies and reduce his idol work, to the announcement that he would retire. It seems that after deciding not to be an idol anymore, the smile on Yukiko Okada's face has increased again, and people are no longer in a worrying state like before, and they are gradually regaining their vitality again.

Such a significant change let fans know that Yukiko Okada's decision to retire is extremely firm. Therefore, since I am still willing to come to this venue for her and cheer for her final performance, I only have the idea of blessing her in my heart.

"Thank you!"

Hearing the encouragement from the audience, Yukiko Okada choked up and bowed vigorously to the audience.

I decided to retire, leave the public eye in the future, and choose a new path in life. Yukiko Okada felt a little guilty in the face of the audience's support, but more of gratitude and gratitude.

Before her debut, she aimed to become an idol, and after her debut, she worked hard as an "orthodox idol", and she thought that she had learned what an idol was like as a profession, but it wasn't until she reached the last step of her idol career and stood at the venue of the Budokan that she filled in the last piece of the puzzle about her understanding of idols, and at the same time realized the meaning of idols again.

An idol is a job that brings the audience dreams, and idols carry the dreams of their supporters. It was because of this realization that Yukiko Okada was even more grateful to the people who came to the venue today.

She announced her retirement, which made it impossible for her supporters' dreams to continue. However, they are still willing to come to her aid and send blessings to her for the new life she is about to start. She couldn't help but be moved by the tenderness of the audience.

"After today's concert, I, Yukiko Okada, will officially retire from the entertainment industry. After saying this, Yukiko Okada's tears finally couldn't be endured anymore, turned her face away, and covered her eyes with one hand.

"Come on!"

"There is Kiko-chan!"

The audience shouted her name loudly.

Yukiko Okada stabilized her emotions and continued, "From now on, I will continue to live as an ordinary person." Although I left the stage, I will remember the support and love I received from the audience and fans during these four years, and even as an ordinary person, I will continue to walk with dignity and dignity with the memories of these four years. ”

"Thank you so much for everything you have done so far and everything you will do for the future!"

After saying this, Yukiko Okada bowed deeply and did not straighten up for a long time. In the midst of this long bow, a hoarse male voice suddenly sounded in the audience, "Thank you!

Then, as if they had been woken up, the audience also shouted to Yukiko Okada on the stage, "Thank you!

Although I support this dream of Yukiko to wake up here, it is because of the existence of Xizi that such a dream can be had.

When the idols on the stage thanked the fans, the fans in the audience were grateful to the idols.

......

The sound of "thank you" made Yukiko Okada's already not strong tear ducts completely burst, and the tears made the concert process unable to continue for a while.

While she was crying, the audience began to applaud her.

In such a venue, looking at Yukiko Okada, who couldn't help crying, Akina Nakamori's tear ducts seemed to be stimulated.

When she first met Yukiko Okada, she still regarded becoming an idol as a necessary path in life, and the high expectations placed on her by the firm did not crush her, but made her full of energy.

At that time, Yukiko didn't feel the weight of the pressure on her body, and she didn't know anything about the bitterness of love.

When Yukiko learned about these things and almost put her life on the line, and finally was able to choose to return to the basics and embark on another path, Akina Nakamori was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.

However, seeing her tears reminded her of herself.

Once upon a time, she also regarded retreating from the rapids and getting married and teaching children as a road that must be taken in life, so even if she suffered, she firmly believed that she could reach the end.

Akina Nakamori lived in a family that lacked love and warmth when she was a child, and wanted to build her own family, and in this desire, there may not be a hidden psychology of rebellion - having a home of her own can get rid of her original family mentally.

If you have a home of your own, then the wounds of the past can be healed and everything can start again.

When she was a child, she liked Yamaguchi Momoe, and the perfect life template in her eyes was Yamaguchi Momoe. If you become an idol, you have to have a happy family, which is like Baihuisan.

Although with such a vision, however, she did not meet her Miura Tomokazu.

When Kondo Masahiko was messing with flowers before, she was still hoping in her heart that one day he would be able to change his ways, but in the previous big prize incident, the despicability of his character exposed made Nakamori Akina have deep doubts about his feelings in his heart.

Even if she is a daughter, she has to bear the fate of a woman who is as sad as her mother and endure her husband's troubles, but can such a person with a questionable character build a family with him that heals the wounds of the past, has love and warmth?

Akina Nakamori gradually realizes that Baihui-san's perfect life is not because she did the right thing at the right time, but because she met someone who could heal her wounds and realize her dreams with her.

After the big prize incident, Kondo Masahiko was refrigerated for a period of time because of the scandal, and recently made a comeback with the support of Jennis, although the response was not good, and the already declining popularity was even more affected this time.

However, in Nakamori Akina's heart, she was unexpectedly not as anxious for him as she was in the past, Kondo Masahiko was angry with her, and she didn't have such a strong desire to repair the relationship until now.

At this time, my sister Akiho Nakamori signed a contract with an office to prepare for her debut, and Akina Nakamori had doubts about the policy formulated by the firm that her sister signed, but after mentioning it once, she was fiercely counterattacked by Akiho Nakamori.

This younger sister sees Akina Nakamori's kindness as sabotaging her path to success.

Family affairs have always given Akina Nakamori a headache, and as soon as Akiho Nakamori's incident came out, she was even more exhausted. Thinking that Kondo Masahiko would sneer at Akiho Nakamori's affairs, and now have a cold war with him, it made her breathe a sigh of relief.

However, problems always have to be solved.

Today, I came to see Kiko's concert and saw her, Akina Nakamori was full of emotion. Yukiko got into a dead end and almost lost her life, but in the end she was able to give up her idol identity and take a new path and start a new life.

Seeing Yukiko Okada like this made Akina Nakamori feel shaken and doubtful about what she had been insisting on. Do you continue on this path that has been traveled for a while, or do you want to take a new path?

Okada Yukiko was eighteen years old when she committed suicide, and the year she chose to retire was not yet her twenty-first birthday.

Life is so long.

Akina Nakamori blinked vigorously, but for some reason, she quietly turned her head and glanced at Shinichi Iwahashi, who was sitting next to him. Probably because it was this person who led Yukiko out of the dead end and let her see this new path now.

This is the person who can give hope to others.

......

Shinichi Iwahashi was staring at Yukiko on the big screen at this time, not knowing that the Taopu Star next to him was quietly watching him. And from the corners of his tightly pursed mouth, he could see this scene and this scene, which also touched him.

Being able to take a curtain call at the Budokan and return to the lives of ordinary people, it is undoubtedly the best ending for an idol career to end in such a way, and many idols cannot have such a successful career.

However, thinking of Yukiko Okada's idol career, almost breaking out of the railing, falling into another way, and ending in another brilliant way, at this moment, it is even more touching to see her say goodbye to the audience at the Budokan with tears of happiness in her eyes.

At the same time, more than anyone else, she is more happy than anyone else for the life she has now.

Looking back now, meeting and acquaintance with Yukiko Okada, and taking the initiative to say to her the nosy phrase "relax and move forward" is something that Shinichi Iwahashi will never regret. Nothing is more important than life.

......

On the stage, Yukiko Okada finally calmed down, although her eyes were red, she still showed her innocent and pure smile, of course, no one would feel that this smile was not from the heart.

"Thank you!" she bowed again, straightened up, and said, "Next, please let me continue singing until the end with a feeling of gratitude to everyone." ”

"Please continue to enjoy this performance with me until the end. Is that okay?"

In response, the hall of the Budokan hall was filled with cheers for Yukiko Okada. Tonight, she is the absolute protagonist.

Yukiko Okada turned her head and gestured to the long-awaited live accompaniment band, telling them that they could continue. Immediately, the music played, and the next song was her famous song "-Dreag Girl-".

At the age of seventeen, Yukiko Okada sang this cute and sweet song and walked into the public's sight from her "border of love". Today, just as Kaguya-hime, who was born in a bamboo tube, is going to return to the Moon Palace after all, twenty-year-old Yukiko Okada, who is not lost to the cuteness and sweetness of the time, sings this song and returns to her "land of love".

There is no such thing as a feast that will never be dissolved, and even if you feel reluctant, the concert has finally come to an end.

After singing the last song, Yukiko Okada finally bowed deeply to the audience. On the side of the stage, her family was already waiting to greet her.

Yukiko Okada put down the microphone, waved to the audience one last time, and ran to her family's side.
