Kawada Town, Shinjuku Ward

A conference room on the basement floor of Fuji Television Headquarters. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the small room, and on one side were all the members of SMAP, and Fuji TV's PD Akihiro Arai was sitting opposite each other with four or five staff. Here is the prep meeting for SMAP's new show, Smap×Smap. This is the first regular variety show hosted by all members of SMAP, and it is also the most important one in the development of SMAP. PD Arai-san is a pure-blooded Keio.,He joined the company in 85.,Now he's the chief PD of four or five programs.,In addition to the upcoming "Smap×Smap",There's also Fuji's master program "laugh っていいとも" (laughing doesn't hurt). Today, as the general PD of SXS, Arai-san is in charge of explaining the flow of future programs to the members.

SmapXSmap is divided into two parts: BISTRO, a cooking contest in which members compete according to the topics assigned by the guests, and S-Live, a skit and stage where guests are invited to perform together with SMAP. The two units are roughly equal in time, and the total duration of the broadcast is about one hour.

The seven quickly figured out the flow of the program and immediately began to discuss the content with the STAFF.

"Is there anything you'd like to do?" Arai-san asked.

"ええ,Skit is still ...... It's better to imitate a popular TV series or something...... It's also more interesting. "It's Nakaju's voice." Approve! If it's a popular TV series, I guess that's it...... "This is Mori's words." "That? Which one? "These are the words of Goro." Yo that! Inagaki-san, don't you usually watch TV? "These are Shingo's words." Ah~ Understood, understood. "These are Ah Gang's words." But who's going to play that one? These are Shota's words.

"That's ~ that's right~ Huh~ I'm Renzaburo Furuhata?" Kimura, who didn't speak, lifted his hair, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

"There it is!" The remaining six people spoke in unison.

Kimura is an imitation of Masakazu Tamura, who plays Renzaburo Furuhata as a gentleman police officer who rides a bicycle whenever he appears, wearing a black suit and shaggy hair that has become a household name. Renzaburo Furuhata, which was broadcast in 1994, is now in its second season, but its popularity has increased instead of decreasing, and it can indeed be said that it is the most popular among the hits. And the Furuhata Renzaburo imitated by Kimura can be said to have both form and spirit, and a casual word in a meeting in private clothes has already made others feel that Tamura Masakazu is possessed.

"すげえ-Brother Kimura,It's definitely you in this way.,This! But it doesn't seem like it's very good to continue to call Furuhata Renzaburo, hmm......" Shota thought for a while, "How about Furuto Renzaburo?" ”

"It's interesting! Then this is it! Takuya Kimura, who was tan-skinned, had a twinkle in his eyes, and the 24-year-old man looked very excited. In the midst of the chaos, several SMAP people in the conference room finalized the details of the first episode of the program, and Shota Fukayama also volunteered to win the task of the skit script. Because it's a short play of less than ten minutes, a few brothers will go by him, anyway, in the end, if there is a problem with Shota's script, there will always be a script there at STUFF.

At the end of the meeting, everyone thanked each other and left.

Shota stayed at the end alone. "あのう,Arai-san......" "Ah,It's Fukayama-san.,What's wrong?" "That...... This is my new single, for Arai-san and STUFF, thank you for your hard work......" Seeing Shota's kindness, the staff all accepted the signed CD.

"When idols release CDs, it's right to give them to seniors in the entertainment industry, but if you want to give them to PD, you are still the first one."

"Well, if you think it's good, you can recommend it to relatives and friends." Shota Fukayama inadvertently sold a little cute.

The staff responded with a gossip.

————————————————————

Shota Fukayama, who had left the Fuji Television headquarters, got on the train as usual and prepared to go home. On the way, Shota got off the train three stops in advance, ready to see the release of the singles in the surrounding music stores - the new single has been on sale for two days, but because the office has not vigorously promoted it, the single will not be deliberately promoted in the music or on the radio, only the members have more or less mentioned a few words in their variety shows, and what the actual sales are, Shota has no idea in his heart, and the sales of the office are reported once a week, so he can only choose this stupid method.

Bring camouflage glasses, hats, and masks, and the first store is in front of you. Walking into the store, it is playing the countryside of Koji Tamaki, and this song is now in the center of popularity, "Boss, is there any rock that sells better?" ”

"Rock 'n' roll? MR.CHILDREN'S NEW SONG IS GOOD RECENTLY, AND THE GUESTS LOVE IT, WHY DON'T YOU GIVE IT A TRY? ”

"Mr. Children?" Shota replied.

Seeing that he was not interested, the boss began to look through the inventory. "Ah, there is. Recently, Shota Fukayama of SMAP has a new single, but it is not the name of SMAP as a whole, and there is no Kimura, so if you want to hear it......

"That's it, I want one."

"Okay." While talking, a clerk took down the CD and wrapped it and handed it to Shota.

"Did the boss listen to it himself? This single? ”

"Not really, as you know, I stock more than a dozen kinds of singles here every day, and if you listen to them all...... the boss explained.

"Then I recommend you listen to it." Shota smiled and took the single from the clerk's hand.

"I charged you 1,800 yuan, do you choose cash or credit card?"

"Swipe your card."

"Okay, then please sign here."

Holding the new single he paid for, Shota Fukayama turned around and left, looking back before leaving, "Boss, I think this single is still quite good, you must try it too!" Incidentally, there are also commercial signature smiles and discharges, but under the cover of glasses, hats and masks, it looks funny.

"Welcome back!" The boss and the clerk bowed together.

"This guest is really strange, he doesn't have any sun but wears sunglasses, and he doesn't want to recommend it to his best-selling Mr.Children, and he also recommends a single to me before leaving, but I haven't heard it myself...... You say yes, right? “

The clerk next to him picked up the receipt of the customer's signed name and said to the boss, "That...... Boss!? ”

On the receipt was Shota Fukayama's signature, and the boss and clerk stared wide-eyed, but they couldn't say anything.

Second, third, fourth...... On this day, it seems that all CD stores in the Hachioji area welcomed an uninvited customer wearing glasses, hats, and masks, and when he arrived, he asked to listen to rock 'n' roll, but he ended up with an unknown single song that had just been stocked, and it seemed that it was becoming a "Hachioji urban legend".

That night, Shota Fukayama, who was holding a CD more than half a person tall, entered the door under the watchful eyes of his family. Holding a CD full of his own photos, Shota Fukayama sent five or six copies to everyone in the family, "Take it to your classmates (colleagues), it's my new single!" Everyone in the family looked incredulous.

"What's going on!!" Entering his room, Shota Fukayama held his head and screamed loudly.
