Chapter 1: My Name
In Itami City, Hyogo Prefecture, in an ordinary house, a young girl is experiencing her mother's love.
"Jia Chun has also graduated from high school, do you have any plans for the future?" Mother
Yes, there is Jun Muraka, which is my name. I don't know why I went back to the past, when I woke up after tired work one day, I had returned from 2020 to 2008, from a well-known actress to an ordinary person when I was young, I once thought it was a dream, but this dream was too long.
Gradually, he accepted the reality, and perhaps the gods heard his voice and let him choose the path of life again. I still remember when I just returned to 08, there was a notice of unqualified selection in my room. yes, back to that moment. In the interview at FLaMme, I unfortunately failed due to issues such as wording and weight loss.
The next time I was well prepared, I would have qualified, but I didn't do that myself. I like the actress's work very much, but this office keeps deviating from the results she wants for her work arrangement. The planning of the office is different from what I want, I obviously want to become an excellent actress, but the office has always wanted to rely on the idol style and want to get more acting training, but the adults in the office said to themselves, your current acting skills are enough, and there is still a lot of work waiting for you to do.
There are a lot of jobs, but it seems that they will never get the main recommendation of the firm, and as they continue to get older, their acting skills have been in a state of stagnation, and it may not be long before they will be eliminated from the entertainment industry, and this sense of uneasiness has always existed.
"It's not bad to work in a coffee shop." There is a village frame Jun who responds to his mother, maybe an ordinary life is more suitable for him. I didn't participate in any auditions for showbiz activities, except for my daily school life, I would go to a café to work part-time, and now after graduation, I plan to be a full-time coffee shop clerk, and the store manager also hopes that I can work full-time, because my arrival has attracted many customers.
"It's a pity that Jia Chun works in a coffee shop, I thought Jia Chun would want to be a writer, I remember when I was in junior high school, didn't I want to be an actress? Did you give up that goal completely? "There are village mothers who are a little worried about their own daughters.
When I was in junior high school, I chose to divorce my father and was responsible for raising two children, both daughters are very sensible, and at the same time yearn for a job in the entertainment industry, the eldest daughter is working as a photo model in the village Lanli, but the younger daughter Jia Chun has never mentioned anything about being an actor since she failed the interview, and instead went to write a novel and won an award, obviously cuter than the eldest daughter, but she seems to have given up, is it that the failure of the selection brought a serious blow to the daughter?
"That goal is too far away from me, and an ordinary life is not bad." Jun Arimura said with a smile to his mother who cared about him.
Yes, I wrote a novel, but only I understood that I had no talent for writing at all, and that novel was just the work of an author I once liked, maybe it was my own butterfly that changed the development of some things, and there was no such writer and her work, and I wrote this work in order to improve my life at that time.
"Window Light" delicately depicts the psychological world of a young woman who is unable to handle real life by describing a female college student who drops out of school and works in a café from peeping into a man's room opposite, and then peeping into the street every night to peep into the lives of ordinary people: "In the final analysis, what I want to see most may not be people's ordinary daily life, but the contradictions, desires, and ugly faces distorted and deformed by sadness hidden under the indifferent expressions." This work also won the 42nd Japan Literature and Art Award, known as the "Cradle of the Akutagawa Prize".
There is a village Katsune who sometimes feels that he is a thief, shamefully stealing other people's works, but he will find all kinds of reasons to comfort himself, as long as he doesn't talk nonsense, no one will know, compared to the guilt in his heart, be realistic and pragmatic, the conditions at home need to be improved, the writer's road is not passable, and there is no pride in winning awards, all of this actually does not belong to him.
I don't have any obsession with the work of actors, I understand after experiencing it, it's too difficult for the showbiz to mix well, the scenery is beautiful on the surface, but in fact, my heart is already full of holes, I am uneasy about my career, I don't have friends to talk to, and my every move seems to be watched.
"That, my mother helped Jia Chun sign up for the selection of an idol group, and I have passed the first round of primary selection, I'm sorry, I'm just talking to Jia Chun about it now."
"Huh? What's going on? "Shocked! I have never shown my love for idols, let alone paid much attention to idols, how did my mother sign up for idol activities for me without authorization...
"It's held by Sony, and my mother thinks it should be reliable, so how about trying it? I don't think there's anything wrong with it! ”
“... Why does mom feel like this! ”
"Let's try it anyway!"
“... Okay..."Looking at my mother's expectant eyes, I agreed. Sony's organizing,It should be that Nogizaka 46.,I know that idol group.,But I haven't paid too much attention to it.,It's time to travel.,When you come back, find a job.,Make a friend seriously.,That's it!
In Tokyo, at the SME selection venue, Jun Arimura has just finished the final interview and is sitting in the lounge waiting for the results to be announced. Think about it when you interviewed just now, you will definitely fail! Yes, Jun Murakajun didn't think about passing the audition, and he didn't have a good impression of idol activities, and adults like that kind of innocent or cute girl, which Jun Muraka is still very confident in his current appearance. Adults don't like alternative and arrogant people, think about what you just did?
"Why did you participate in the audition?" Doctor A-san
"My mother signed up without telling me, so my mother asked me to try it."
"Have you ever considered becoming an idol?" Doctor B Sang
"Nope!"
"If you qualify, what are you aiming for?" Yasu Akimoto
"Singer." There is a village Kajun who keeps saying unreliable answers, and the singer is strange.
Then I sang a song of love and heat, and this song has been practiced seriously. There is a village frame pure sense of self is a little mentally abnormal, he should be regarded as a more mature person, but no matter how you think about the performance just now, it is like a child's rebellious period, deliberately saying the wrong answer. I want to let go of my feelings! Anyway, I'm just an ordinary person, I can do whatever I want, and there are no messy reports, which is great!
"Hello, my name is Nanase Nishino and I'm from Osaka." Nishino Nanase has been paying attention to this for a long time, because the position is close, the other party is very good-looking, and after observing for a long time, this one has been in a state of daze, and after several hesitations, he decided to talk to her.
Jun Arimura turned to the girl who accosted him next to him, who was also from Kansai: "Hello, I'm Jun Arimura, from Hyogo Prefecture. "Kind response to the other party.
"Ah, Arimura-san is also from Kansai! That's great! Nishino Nanase was relieved, but he didn't expect that the first person to talk to was also a Kansai person, so he could say Kansai dialect.
"yes, it's so fateful!" Jun Murakami actually doesn't want to talk too much with these people who come to participate in the idol audition, anyway, after that, there are people from two worlds, I will be my ordinary person, you will be your idol, there will be no intersection.
"Can I call you a jun?" Nanase Nishino plucked up his courage and took a closer step to talk.
"Yes, then I'll call you Nanase! Let's go together after a while, right? A village frame replied that although I didn't want to talk much, for the sake of the same Kansai people, I would have a companion when we went back by car together.
"That's great!"
Nanase Nishino wanted to say something, but the doctor came over with a list and announced the results of the selection to everyone.
When Jun Murakami heard his name being read, he looked completely incredulous... Can this also qualify? What to do? Want to participate in this group? Listening to the next doctor's arrangement in a daze, do you want to stay together? Ha? Some Murakajun seriously considered whether to directly talk to the relevant personnel after a while and say that he didn't want to do this job...
"Frame pure! That's great! We both passed! Nishino Nanase said happily, it's good, I passed, and the frame next to me also passed, and there are finally members who can communicate together!
"Yes, that, Nanase, do you think I'll go to the doctor and say I don't want to participate in this group?" Mom is still in her hometown, and the one next to me who can talk a little is the one next to her, and there is a village frame Jun who tried to ask.
"Huh? Why? It's hard to qualify, don't be pure! I still want to be teammates with Kajun! Nanase Nishino asked in complete surprise, could it be that this person doesn't want to be an idol? So why do you want to participate in the audition? But I don't want her to do this, if she doesn't do it for a while, won't she have to find someone to talk to again.
"I want to go back and find a job... And they have to share a dormitory, and some are not used to it. "Arimura Kasuma has found a few reasons for himself, idols definitely have to jump, right? I've never learned to dance, I don't want to do the dance of the cheerleading team, I just want to live quietly.
"This also has a salary, and I haven't left the house, but it should be no problem to overcome it if you live together, and see if you can apply for a dormitory with a pure house!" Nanase Nishino faced the reason given by Jun Kasa, and began to look for answers, persuading the other party not to give up.
Jun Murakashi decided to go home and talk to his mother.,After all, it was my mother who helped me sign up.,Although I don't like it very much.,But I still want to hear my mother's advice.。 And the new acquaintance Nanase Nishino also kept saying not to give up, and seeing that the other party's tears were about to come out, he didn't go to the doctor to talk on the spot.
