244. Turnaround

Kondo Masahiko didn't notice the change in Akina Nakamori at all, swept away the contents of the plate, and drank the tea calmly, not paying any attention to the changes in his girlfriend's mood, as if he didn't feel the burden of thinking about to defeat others by relying on the dark box operation.

Such calmness is, to a certain extent, also a "character".

Akina Nakamori, who ate this meal, was exhausted and dizzy as if she had just had a big quarrel with someone, and after the meal, Masahiko Kondo made other arrangements and was eager to say goodbye to Akina Nakamori.

Compared to spending a peaceful date with his girlfriend, the bright lights of Ginza and Roppongi attracted him even more.

Listening to him say goodbye, Akina Nakamori's first reaction was to feel relieved.

Halfway through the taxi home, she came back to her senses and realized the abnormality of this "relieved".

How can it be a relief...... As if he was afraid of his terrible face.

At such a moment, Akina Nakamori suddenly felt an unspeakable loneliness. When she got home, she couldn't calm down, thought about it, and called Yukiko Okada.

Okada Yukiko has an innocent personality, because of this, when she has no clue and doesn't want to confide her true thoughts to others, chatting with her can unexpectedly get peace of mind.

After the phone rang, it rang for a while, and it was her mother who answered it.

After that incident, Yukiko Okada's mother came to Tokyo to take care of her. Yukiko Okada was embarrassed by her mother's personal care, and agreed with her mother that after the New Year, she would start living alone.

Seeing that everything was smooth and stable for her, and that college life was also enjoyable, her mother was relieved and agreed to this request. Wait until next year, call this again, and that won't happen again.

"Please wait, Akina-san. Yukiko Okada's mother said on the phone.

After waiting for a while, the phone was answered, and through Okada Yukiko's energetic voice, "Akina-san." ”

"Good evening, Nozomi Yukiko. ”

Hearing her energetic and innocent voice, Akina Nakamori felt relieved. After that happened, she was able to maintain such innocence, which cannot but be said to be a kind of luck.

Because she is still alive like this, Akina Nakamori feels that in the world, maybe in a place she doesn't know, there is some kind of power that can survive in a desperate situation.

The two chatted for a while, and Yukiko Okada told her about school.

Akina Nakamori gave up her studies in order to focus on her acting career, and university life was very unfamiliar to her, so she liked to listen to what Yukiko Okada said.

As we chatted, the conversation turned to the Record Awards.

Yukiko Okada encouraged her on the phone, "Akina-san, on the night of the 31st, I want to see you get three consecutive dominations than watching the Red and White Song Club." ”

"This kind of thing ......," Akina Nakamori smiled silently.

I didn't expect Okada Yukiko to mention this as well, or rather, there were a few people who didn't mention it at the end of the year.

Yukiko Okada didn't know anything about her troubles, and she didn't know that tonight, the trust in Masahiko Kondo in her heart was shattered again and became even more torn.

And from Yukiko Okada's words, Akina Nakamori realized that the audience who believed that she could win the triple hegemony must account for the majority.

However, this is a grand prize that Kondo Masahiko said could ignore the gap as long as he bought seven judges. If that's the case, then what's the point?

It was as if she saw that the dreams of the masses would be shattered.

If she gives way, she will not only ruin an authoritative award, but also shatter the public's dreams.

It is said that one of the definitions of an idol is a person who brings dreams to others. So, is she someone who can bring dreams to others, or is she someone who shatters other people's dreams?

Akina Nakamori revisited this matter during a phone call with Yukiko Okada.

......

One family is happy and one is sad, and one person's happiness may be based on the sadness and anger of another.

On this side, Kondo Masahiko is proud of the big award in front of him, but on the other side, it is the anger of the singing school and the anger of Hiroshi Goki.

Originally, under the circumstance that Genesys would dissuade Akina Nakamori, at least seven of the judges of the awards supported the singing school, and with these seven votes, the record award was in the bag, not to mention that the other six judges were not easy to do too much, and only one Kondo Masahiko was not enough to worry about.

But unexpectedly, Genesis not only leveled the six judges, but even stretched out his hand to the side of the singing school, and I don't know what means were used to make Daizaburo Hashimoto of the singing school support Masahiko Kondo.

Daizaburo Hashimoto is a stalwart of the singing school, and no one could have imagined that he would be rebelled by Denis at the last moment and turn to support Kondo Masahiko.

In this way, the one who has seven votes becomes Kondo Masahiko.

The loss of a key vote made Gogi Hiroshi encounter an unprecedented threat.

On the one hand, he felt unwilling, and on the other hand, there was a feeling of being humiliated. He has never looked down on the kind of male idols who only think about how to please women, and he doesn't pay much attention to scandal-ridden people like Kondo Masahiko, and he doesn't bother to disguise himself when he participates in the show on the same stage.

Kondo Masahiko knows that he looks down on himself, and he also looks down on him, although he is hindered by the relationship between his seniors and seniors, in the face of the singer Hiroshi Gogi, the rules and politeness that should be there are no less.

It was these two people who hated each other that turned out to be competitors - or rather, Goki Hiroshi disdained him as an opponent, but this guy he looked down on was even better and won the decisive card.

What is even more infuriating is Hashimoto Daisaburo's backlash, and there is a feeling that he has been bullied to the head of the singing school.

Seven votes are in the hands of Kondo Masahiko, and the matter will be a foregone conclusion. Masahiko Kondo won this award with ironclad certainty.

Goki Hiroshi was already holding his breath in his heart, but as a result, the award formulation association didn't know whether to fan the flames or calm the matter, so he persuaded Goki Hiroshi to take a step back and give this award to Kondo Masahiko, he could wait for the next time.

In this way, it made Goki Hong's face hurt a lot, and there was a kind of grievance that was looked down upon, charred, and smacked on his face.

Indeed, after entering the 80s, the momentum of singing is getting worse and worse, and under the attack of idol songs, new music, and rock, the living space is getting smaller and smaller, but it is not the turn of such a guy to show off his might!

Not only was he angry, but the rest of the singing school was also angry about it. Now it is not only a question of whether Goki Hiroshi can get the big award, but also the problem of the face of the singing school.

However, when things come to such a point, how can they turn the tables around?

Or, if you can make Masahiko Kondo absent from the big prize, he will automatically choose to give up...... If only there was such a means.
