Ayumi Hamasaki is leaving Ai back?

It's good to listen to this as a joke.

Not to mention that Katsuto Matsuura disagrees, a contract can nail her firmly in place. Even from the perspective of personal wishes, it is difficult for Lin Hai to imagine that Ayumi Hamasaki would choose to leave Ai Hui, after all, her career is not even starting - she has only released a single in Ai Hui, and once she leaves, it means that all her previous efforts have come to naught......

What's more, which music company is willing to take Ai Hui's anger and take her under the door?

"You don't believe me?" Hamasaki asked when he saw that Lin Hai was silent.

Lin Hai replied: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that it's hard to understand. If that's convenient, can you tell me why?"

"I'll tell you when I get there. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's literal, I'll hang up first. ”

……

"Ding-dong......"

I received a text message on my phone.

The text message was sent by Ayumi Hamasaki, and on it was a string of numbers and a sentence -

If you don't believe me, you can ask her for confirmation. ”

Although he didn't write his name, Lin Hai knew that this mobile phone number should be Kanda Laiweizi.

She also said she didn't have a cell phone.

Lin Hai shook his head, found a phone booth, and called according to the number.

The call was answered by Kanda himself, Lin Hai pinched his throat and said, "Sorry, I made a mistake", and then hung up the phone directly.

No more proof is needed, everything at the moment proves that Ayumi Hamasaki is not lying.

Lin Hai couldn't help but sigh.

Whether Kanda planned to "defect to the enemy" or just to show favor to Ai Hui, she lost Lin Hai's trust.

……

Lin Hai was not in a hurry to tell Hikaru Utada the news.

Xiong Guang is returning the essence of the high school at this time, with her temper, it is estimated that she will directly confront Kanda face to face, and in the end, it will only make the faces of both sides ugly.

Lin Hai decided to go to Kyoko Fukada first, but on the way to Kyoto Broadcasting, Kyoko called and said that because there was a problem with the props, the filming might end late.

……

Lin Hai, who has nothing to do, wanders the streets of Kyoto, wondering what female singers are still to be discovered. To be honest, Kanda's incident hit him quite hard, and it made him have the idea of "just find someone and forget it".

The more casual it is, the more clueless it becomes, and before I know it, until five o'clock in the afternoon, Hikaru Utada's phone call.

"Did you get Kyoko?"

"Not yet, it may be too late. ”

"Oh. Mr. Yazawa has a dinner party, will you come?"

"Eat, I'll contact you again when I get Kyoko. ”

……

As soon as the phone hung up, it rang again.

"I'm in Kyoto. ”

Ayumi Hamasaki's voice was a little tired.

Lin Hai didn't expect that she was not joking, she really came to Kyoto, and she came so quickly.

At this point, it would be a bit unkind to refuse to meet.

Lin Hai didn't know when Kyoko was finished, so he and Ayumi Hamasaki made an appointment to meet at a café opposite KBS.

……

"Keeping you waiting. ”

Ayumi Hamasaki sat down across from Lin Hai and beckoned the waiter to come over and order a cup of coffee.

"What do you drink?" Ayumi Hamasaki asked Hamahai.

Lin Hai raised the water glass in his hand.

"I thought you would ask me out for a walk on Hanamikoji. ”

"Let's get down to business. ”

"What's the hurry?" Hamasaki glanced at Lin Hai and asked, "You don't want to see me so much?"

I have to say that this flattering eye is very lethal, and Lin Hai, an old man in his bones, is a little uncontrollable.

Lin Hai coughed and asked, "You have a bright future in Aihui, why do you want to leave?"

"If I hadn't said that, would you have agreed to meet?"

Seeing that Lin Hai was unhappy, Ayumi Hamasaki smiled and said, "No kidding." Like I said on the phone, I just want to have a good relationship with you. ”

"Why?"

"Optimistic about your talent?"

"There are more talented people in this world than me. ”

"That's right. Ayumi Hamasaki nodded approvingly, and then said, "But not everyone understands the persistence." ”

The waiter brought the coffee, and Hamasaki thanked him, took the coffee and tasted it slowly.

After a while, she put down her coffee cup and said, "Do you know anything about my past?"

Lin Hai shook his head.

"My father left the family when I was very young, and since then, I have been dependent on my mother for my life......"

……

Lin Hai had heard about Ayumi Hamasaki's background, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he didn't interrupt the other party.

The petite goblin in front of him has a sympathetic experience.

Because his father ran away from home, in order to help support the family, Ayumi Hamasaki, who was only seven years old, began to work as a model for the bank in his hometown, not so much as a child star, but a child laborer.

After graduating from junior high school, she went to Tokyo to enroll in Horikoshi High School, gritting her teeth and persevering while working and studying, but unfortunately she failed to become famous after filming several TV series.

"Then I signed with Columbia and released a single, but it didn't sell well, so I was swept away by the record company......"

Lin Hai also knew that it was not Ayumi Hamasaki's responsibility for this, but because of the poor publicity of the record company. For newcomers in the music scene, it is really difficult to become an instant hit in the absence of publicity. As for the MISIA case, there has not been a single case in many years.

"I was very unwilling at the time, and I was a little self-defeating, and for a while I even thought about going to the sea to make a film......" Ayumi Hamasaki said this, smiled, and asked, "Don't you wonder why I dismissed this thought?"

"It's because you met President Matsuura, right?"

"Meeting him is just one of the reasons. Ayumi Hamasaki smiled: "The main reason is that I was not yet eighteen years old at the time, and the regular film company was afraid of getting into a lawsuit......

Lin Hai didn't ask her what about the irregular film merchants, with her social experience, she would not be deceived by the unscrupulous film merchants with empty gloves and white wolves.

Ayumi Hamasaki waved to the waiter and asked if he could smoke.

The waiter hesitated, probably because she was "coronaized", so he agreed to her unreasonable request.

Hamasaki lit a lady's cigarette and said to Lin Hai with a smile: "Look, you men all have the same face. ”

Lin Hai frowned and shouted in a low voice: "Snuff out the cigarette!"

Ayumi Hamasaki stared at him for several seconds, pinching his cigarette and pressing it out in his coffee cup.

Lin Hai took a sip of water and said with a straight face: "Your experience is indeed worthy of sympathy, but I still don't understand why you are telling me this. ”

Ayumi Hamasaki took out his lipstick and touched up his makeup, propped his elbows on the table, crossed his hands on his chin, and said seriously: "I don't want you to sympathize with me, I want to be your friend." ”

Lin Hai frowned and said, "What kind of friend?"

"Literally. ”

Ayumi Hamasaki smiled: "You should also see that President Matsuura and I are currently in a romantic relationship - of course, this may be my wishful thinking, no matter what, it is impossible for me to leave him in the short term." So, I said I want to be friends with you, and it's just an ordinary friend. ”

"Why?"

"Can you please not have so much why?"

Ayumi Hamasaki glared at Lin Hai with some annoyance, grabbed his handbag and stood up, with a cold face: "I have already persuaded President Matsuura, he will not stop MISIA from cooperating with you again, after all, MISIA herself is also an artist of Ai Hui, but this does not mean that he will let you go, you are so self-conscious!"

After speaking, Ayumi Hamasaki took advantage of Lin Hai's stunned gaze, suddenly came up and kissed him, and then walked quickly to the silver table, dropped a banknote, and then walked away.

……

What's going on?

Lin Hai was completely dumbfounded.

He touched his cheek and couldn't help but smile bitterly - she is worthy of being a variety of singers, and there is no one else who has this face-changing kung fu.

Looking at the back of Hamasaki Ayumi who didn't look back, Lin Hai found that he couldn't see through this woman more and more.

took the initiative to show favor, but turned his face for a "why...... This woman is really inexplicable.

Soon after Hamasaki walked, Lin Hai received a call from MISIA, who couldn't hide the joy in her heart and said to Lin Hai: "Lin Jun, tell you good news......

……

It's really powerful.

LIN HAI AND MISIA WERE TALKING, BUT THEY COULDN'T HELP BUT SEE AYUMI HAMAZAKI'S FACE IN FRONT OF THEM.

No matter what, Lin Hai had to admit that he owed her a favor.

This kind of favor, it's hard to owe......

Lin Hai sighed, got up and left the coffee shop.

……

Ayumi Hamasaki looked at Lin Hai's departing back from a distance and asked the man next to him, "Maki-sensei, how is it?"

"Can't you trust other people's technology?"

The man said in a girly voice, took out a film from the telephoto camera, threw it in his hand, and said, "That kid is quite handsome, but it's a pity that it's not my thing." But then again, President Matsuura would be upset if he found out that you were meeting him privately, right?"

"Just allow him to fool around with a group of women, and not allow me to find a man?"

Hamasaki asked a rhetorical question, took the film, bowed, and said, "Anyway, it's really a shame that you made a special trip to ...... hard."

"People aren't happy when you say that!" said the man, disgusted. Then he asked curiously, "What are you going to do next......?" President Matsuura is going to kill you, right?"

The man looked scared.

Ayumi Hamasaki stuffed the film into his bag and said, "Don't worry, I know what I know." ”

As he spoke, he received a text message on his phone.

Ayumi Hamasaki opened his eyes and looked at it, and his smile suddenly bloomed like a flower.

The text message is very short, just two words -

Thank you.

……

Lin Hai had just finished sending a text message, but suddenly received a call from Hikaru Utada.

"Did Kyoko call you?"

Hikaru Utada's tone was full of apprehension.

"No, what's wrong?"

"She called me just now, and just said a few words before she broke off, I called, but I couldn't get through, and my call to you kept busy......"

Hikaru Utada's tone became more and more urgent, and he sounded as if he was about to cry.

"Don't get excited, what did she say?"

Lin Hai had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

"She said someone was going to invite her to dinner, and said that the person didn't look at her the right way......"

"!"

Lin Hai scolded and ran towards the KBS building.

……

A bad conclusion can be drawn from Hikaru Utada's words - someone is eyeing Kyoko Fukada.

To be precise, it was aimed at her body.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, and artists encounter unspoken rules and even rape from time to time, but Lin Hai can't imagine that Kyoko will also encounter this kind of thing.

In the Japanese entertainment industry, there is also a set of "unspoken rules" regarding unspoken rules.

Under normal circumstances, there are several types of artists who are untouchable.

The first category of artists, after political and economic celebrities, is represented by Kotaro Koizumi.

The second type of artist, the son of a famous family from a family of kabuki and singers, is a representative figure, Takako Matsu.

The third category of artists, artists from veteran song and dance troupes such as Takarazuka and OSK, and a representative figure, Yuki Amami.

In addition, artists such as BURNING, HORIPRO, Genesys, and Yanyin are focused on cultivating artists, unless they are willing to fall, no one will dare to attack them.

Because of this, Lin Hai felt incredible, which artist who dared to move the HORIPRO club after eating the bear's heart and leopard's guts?

……

Lin Hai rushed all the way into the KBS building and was stopped by security guards.

"Get out of the way!"

Lin Hai was twisted by the other party, couldn't break free for a while, and was about to move roughly, when he suddenly stopped.

Why did it stop?

Because he saw Kyoko Fukada and a strange man coming out of the elevator.

"Kyoko!" Lin Hai shouted.

Kyoko Fukada turned her head to see Lin Hai, and waved at him happily: "Hai!"

The security guard saw the man behind Kyoko and subconsciously let go of his hand.

Lin Hai stepped forward and asked angrily, "What's the matter?"

"What's going on?"

"Hikki said you cut off in the middle of the call. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Kyoko whispered embarrassedly, "I accidentally dropped my phone...... in. ”

Call......

Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't care about scolding her, motioned for her to wait, and then dialed Utada Hikaru over.

"How's it going?"

Hikaru Utada is still in a hurry.

Lin Hai handed the phone to Kyoko without saying a word, ignoring how she should explain to Hikaru Utada, and turned to look at the young man in a straight suit.

"First meeting. I'm Lin Hai, may I ask who you are?"

"When we meet for the first time, we are in Shimoichikawa Somegoro, and please give me a lot of advice. ”

The man meticulously saluted Lin Hai.

Seeing this, Lin Hai hurriedly saluted again.

Hearing the other party's name, Lin Hai knew that he had misunderstood.

……

Ichikawa Somegoro is the exclusive name of a kabuki actor, and it is impossible for a kabuki actor to force women to conform through indiscriminate means.

Kabuki is a typical Japanese national performing art, which originated in the early Edo period in the 17th century and developed into a full-fledged genre in 1600 with only male actors. For nearly 400 years, it has been preserved along with Noh and Kyogen. Kabuki does have a disgraceful history in the development process, but it has become the quintessence of the traditional country, and it has completely drawn a line with those messy things.

One of the major features of modern Kabuki is the name system.

Kabuki actors are respected in Japan, but not everyone can perform in kabuki, to be precise, except for a few great families.

This small circle of people who are high above attaches great importance to reputation, and if anyone behaves despicably, it will not be a good end for him.

After exchanging names, Lin Hai asked, "May I ask if you have anything to do with Kyoko?"

"It was my father who wanted to meet her and asked me to come and invite her. ”

"How did your father know that Kyoko was in Kyoto today?"

"This, to be honest, I don't know. ”

"If it's convenient, can you let me come along?"

Lin Hai was unconsciously driven by the other party, and then became crepe.

He couldn't refuse for Kyoko - turning down an invitation from a Kabuki family, are you sure you're not kidding?

Strictly speaking, this is much more serious than rejecting Katsuto Matsuura!

……

Kyoko finished the call and returned the phone to Lin Hai.

"What did Hikki say?"

"She said let's contact her when we're done. ”

Kyoko said, pulling Lin Hai aside and asking in a low voice, "Why did you say they invited me?"

Lin Hai rolled his eyes.

You ask me, I ask who goes?

……

Out of the gate of KBS, the security guard at the gate took the initiative to help open the car door.

"Please. ”

Ichikawa Somegoro invited the two of them into the car.

"Where are we going?"

Kyoko asked curiously.

"Go to Gion. Ichikawa Somegoro replied.

……

Gion is not a private garden.

Gion, from the Buddhist term "Gion for Solitude", originally referred to the Yasaka Shrine dedicated to Susanoo, and later came to refer to the entire block from Yasaka Shrine, Kamogawa River to Higashioji-dori.

This is the most famous geisha district in Japan, and it was later filmed in "Memoirs of a Geisha" starring Zhang Ziyi.

Geisha and Kabuki are two different things.

When you think of geisha, the first thing that comes to mind is a miserable white foundation, blood-red lips, and exaggerated buns. Many people think that they are "ghost-like" or "scary" because of their different aesthetics, but in the traditional history and culture of Japan, geisha is the image that best meets the dreams of Japanese men.

If you let Lin Hai give a definition, she is probably the top escort lady.

Of course, this "wine lady" is a showman, not a showman.

……

In Japan, it's an honor to have a geisha to accompany you.

Today's Japanese geisha are only a few hundred people, and ordinary people are rare to see, even if they have a head and a face, they often have to be recommended by regular customers in order to be honored by "everyone".

……

The Toyota stopped at the entrance of the "Hanamikoji".

Hanamikoji is not a forest path for cherry blossom viewing, but a pedestrian street that runs through Gion.

Walking into this street is like stepping into the Edo period.

The streets are quiet and well-planned, and there are tea houses with curtains hanging side by side. Walking around, you can see many women wearing kimonos, wearing their hair in a neat bun, and holding oil-paper umbrellas. Of course, most of them are tourists, and only those women with "white faces and red lips" are likely to be legendary geisha.

Ichikawa Somegoro maintained a parallel position to the two of them, led the two to a restaurant, and made a gesture of please.

At this time, if you are stupid and raise your feet to enter, it will be rude.

Lin Hai and Ichikawa Somegoro pushed him down, and then followed him in.

As soon as they entered, two geisha greeted them, and after saluting, they each took Lin Hai and Kyoko to bathe and change clothes.

What else can I do?

Let's be as good as flowing.
