After Omato's agent left, Akina Nakamori washed up briefly, changed into clothes at home, and didn't check whether there was any hair in the kitchen, and still remembered the long-lost letter in his heart.

It's just a kid who can't wait to open the gift box.

In the past, there was no agreement, it was all a chance relationship, but after she took the initiative to take the first step, went to see Iwahashi Shinichi, and discussed things with him, in the midst of fate and chance, there was another silk thread that seemed to bind them together.

However, if there is a thread that is absent, it will be broken at some point, and it is still a connection full of uncertainty.

And when she volunteered to become a taster, Shinichi Iwahashi sent the record again, and the two began to correspond, and everything changed.

The existence of faith transforms that casual relationship into a relationship of wanting to be answered. The silk thread that seemed to be nothing became the warp and weft threads of the weaving cloth. Between the back and forth, I weaved a clearer relationship and feelings, the expectation that I would receive a reply after sending the letter, and the curiosity of looking forward to what Iwahashi Shinichi would write in reply.

Such changes are subtle but tangible. Akina Nakamori is still difficult to explain clearly in words, and is only vaguely conscious.

Therefore, thinking of the feeling of remembering this reply, the comfort after getting the letter, and the expectation of wanting to open it quickly, I still laughed at myself in my heart like a child who had been looking forward to Christmas gifts for a long time and finally waited for that moment to come.

Santa Claus Shinichi Iwahashi.

After making such an association, Akina Nakamori recalled that Shinichi Iwahashi was always so steady, and her current association formed a wonderful contrast with the impression of him that she had always had, which made her feel funny in her heart.

Anyway, there is only herself at home, so you don't need to care about anything, just laugh at her. In a good mood, Akina Nakamori took out the scissors, cut open the envelope, took out the stationery, and sat down to read it slowly.

At the beginning of the letter, Shinichi Iwahashi tells Akina Nakamori that he watched "THE BEST TEN" featuring her.

"You made your debut in 'THE BEST TEN', which you made your debut as a '17-year-old' as a 'taster', and I watched the show as a shopping street owner who cheered for my work, so it turns out that you also appeared in that episode. ”

In the letter, Shinichi Iwahashi also cooperated with her words as a "shopping street child" to become a "shopping street owner", just like when she first sent a record with a "tasting impression".

However, seeing him write like this, after that kind of mutual understanding, Akina Nakamori felt amazing.

The episode of "THE BEST TEN" when Chisato Moritaka first appeared on the same stage with her made Akina Nakamori subconsciously think that Shinichi Iwahashi might be watching this show, and now, Shinichi Iwahashi's letter just confirms this conjecture.

What do you think?

At that time, the question injected into the performance was really conveyed to him at the same moment. When she performed in a MINI skirt, Shinichi Iwahashi was right in front of her.

"To be honest, I've never seen you dressed like this, and the first time I saw it, it was full of impact. In his letter, Shinichi Iwahashi wrote bluntly, "However, it is also very beautiful. ”

This is the first time he has expressed his thoughts on Akina Nakamori's appearance.

However, it is not just a feeling of "very beautiful". He then wrote in the letter, "When "Hard to Break the Boat" was published before, I felt incredible, and now I have deepened this thought, you are on stage, like a different person, performing different styles of songs, there is a different style of beauty. ”

"'Beauty' is fresh and vivid in your body, not just pure 'beauty'. However, when I think about it this way, I can't help but think that such a vivid beauty, which remains unchanged even if it changes, may be the simple 'beauty' itself. ”

She is very compatible with a variety of stages, and no matter what kind of stage she is on, she can radiate her own light. Not only that, she and the stage achieve each other, the stage nourishes her, and she also adds color to the stage.

In one paragraph, the word "beauty" appears one after another, but instead of praising her appearance, Akina Nakamori feels that it is better to praise her performance on stage as "beautiful".

Because of this, in the face of his frankness of bluntly saying "beauty", Akina Nakamori is not embarrassed, nor does she have the feeling of being commented on, and she understands his pure feelings.

During the recording of "Hard to Break the Boat", Shinichi Iwahashi's words are enough to prove that he can understand himself. When she decided to choose that song as the main track of the single, she was criticized a little, and there were people around her who unconditionally supported her, but she was the first person who could consider it like him.

You can't have another song like this. At that time, Shinichi Iwahashi gave her such simple blessings and warm understanding.

This song made Akina Nakamori win an unprecedented award three times in a row, and at the same time, because of some things that happened to this song, it also gave her the courage to take a step, made her make decisions that she would not have made before, and refused things she would not have thought she would refuse. It's as if right here, something has changed.

"I watched Mori Taka-san's performance first, and I felt that the route I had chosen for her was not wrong. When I saw your performance again, I remembered what you wrote in your letter, and I thought that if I were really your producer, I might not let you try the MINI skirt. ”

"However, I would probably like to try more than just the MINI skirt, because I don't know where your limits are and what kind of stage style you can do. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi generously expressed his thoughts after watching - Akina Nakamori, a shopping street kid who one day opened her own store, looked at this letter and felt in her heart that she was ashamed of herself in the face of this "tasting impression".

However, such a sincere and frank letter gave her a real idea of being responded to gently, taken seriously, and understood from him.

There is nothing more comforting than being able to be understood by others, rather than being simply perfunctory.

After expressing his thoughts about watching the performance, Shinichi Iwahashi wrote, "You said in your letter that you rejected something that you would not refuse in the past. ”

Seeing this, Akina Nakamori's heart moved, and her face was a little feverish.

Sure enough, Iwahashi-san couldn't be regarded as not seeing it, and ignored that passage.

However, from sending the letter and writing "no regrets" on the letterhead, to now, Akina Nakamori still has not changed this idea, and she has not regretted rejecting Kondo Masahiko.

"It's amazing. This is the next sentence of Shinichi Iwahashi's letter.

"It's not easy to say no," he wrote, "and it takes more courage to say 'no' than 'good.'" It's amazing and not easy to be able to show such courage. ”

When Akina Nakamori saw this, her heart was relieved, and she suddenly felt a sense of relief.

She confirmed one thing from her own reaction, and the reason why she wrote this sentence in her letter to Shinichi Iwahashi was to expect such affirmation.

Affirming her value as a person at all times, such Iwahashi Shinichi gave Akina Nakamori a kind of confidence and courage, making her feel that she also had some kind of power to make decisions, and the power to say "no" generously.

She was vague in her letter, not mentioning what "this matter" was, and Iwahashi Shinichi also sensed from her letter that she wanted to talk and stopped, and wanted to talk but it was inconvenient to talk in detail, so she only wrote a few sentences so far, and there was no trace of wanting to inquire.

"I WROTE THIS LETTER AFTER I JUST FINISHED READING THIS ISSUE OF "THE BEST TEN", SO WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THIS LETTER CAN ALSO BE CALLED A FIRST-HAND IMPRESSION, RIGHT?"

Iwahashi Shinichi used a slightly humorous stroke to round up her vague language.

At the end of the letter, he said a few more things about himself. Tell Akina Nakamori that he went to London a while ago because of work, and then he has to run around for work.

He seems to be talking about the world, but the scattered mention of himself and showing her his own corner is a manifestation of honesty and trust in her, rather than simply responding to her.

After reading the letter, Akina Nakamori breathed a sigh of relief, put down the letterhead, walked into the kitchen, and began to inspect the edges and corners of the kitchen.

She cleans the kitchen before she starts preparing dinner. While wiping the counter with a kitchen cloth, I remembered Shinichi Iwahashi's letter and wanted to say something to him.

......

In Saturday night's "Band Heaven," Yuji Miyake reported the progress of DREAMS COME TRUE to the audience sitting in front of the TV before the show began," ...... This Wednesday, DREAMS COME TRUE's debut single "So Happy, So Happy, So Happy, So Like!" was officially released. ”

"To this day, I still remember the melody of the song. When it comes to the show, their energy is quite impressive. "Yuji Miyake is half the responsibility of the host, and the other half is sincere feelings.

However, the end of the story, "They have the highest score so far on the show and the most number of labels on the record label, a record that has remained until now...... There are many reasons for the existence of records, but there must be one of them: they are broken. ”

Speaking of which, he turned the subject back to today's official program, "So, where is the record-breaking band? Will it be today? Let's wait and see, the first band of the day will appear." ”

......

"To break the record of Dorlimuzcom's bald purr, I'm afraid it's hard, no, it's almost unimaginable. In front of the TV, watching this show, recalling the five episodes that were dominated by that band, my husband said with emotion.

Hearing her husband's words, the wife snickered on the side, "Now, you are more determined to support them than anyone else." ”

"After all, it is the person who really understands that his position is not firm enough and underestimates the consequences of them......" The husband said about his failure, not only did he feel depressed, but he looked a little proud, as if the person who lost the bet was not like him.

THE REASON FOR THIS IS PROBABLY "ATTRIBUTED" TO THE BRAND-NEW WORD PROCESSOR IN THE STUDY, ALTHOUGH I UNDERESTIMATED DREAMS COME TRUE FOR A WHILE, BUT STILL "DREAMS COME TRUE" FROM MY WIFE.

A failed bet made him realize his wife's love for him. That being the case, what's so bad about failing once in a while?

BESIDES, NOW, HE BELIEVES IN DREAMS COME TRUE MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE......

"But has the single already been released?" the husband took to heart.

The next day was a weekend, and on such days, he would either go to play golf with his boss, go to the pachinko room to play small steel balls to kill time, or sleep at home. It's that simple to take a vacation for office workers.

There was no entertainment this week, my husband slept at home until three o'clock in the morning, finished eating, picked up his wallet, "I'm out~"

"Be careful on the road~" said the wife.

Out of the door, out of the residential area, the closer you get to the station, the more people there are. On weekends, the streets are bustling with people. There are pachinko rooms near the station, and he usually works here for hours at a time.

Today, however, he turned a blind eye to the bells and whistles of the pachinko room, and instead searched around and walked into a small record store.

"PLEASE, DO YOU HAVE A CASSETTE OF DREAMS COME TRUE?"

There was only one student-looking clerk at the cash register, and as soon as he entered, his husband asked. He hardly buys his own records, and suddenly came to the record store to buy records, and there was a little bit of embarrassment in his heart.

"Yes, please wait a minute. The clerk answered.

The husband breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, this store was in stock, and he didn't have to go anywhere else.

Five minutes later, he left the record store with the wrapped tape. Outside the pachinko room, the sound of the small steel balls rattling made his hands itch a little, but even so, he still didn't go in, but returned the same way.

"I'm back~" The husband greeted his wife loudly in front of the entrance.

The wife in the living room was surprised that her husband, who usually spends most of the day outside as long as he goes out on weekends, comes back so soon?

I guess I forgot to bring something, right?

She hurried out of the living room, only to see her husband holding a cassette tape.

"Give. "The husband handed her the tape.

"Ahh The wife took the tape and paused it for a moment before replying, "Thank you...... How did you come up with the idea of buying this?" he said, "I saw TV yesterday and wanted to buy it when I went to the department store in the afternoon, so I bought it first." ”

Unexpectedly, a failed bet made her husband a more loyal band fan than herself.

"Because I want to buy it as soon as possible......

The husband is not good at saying that kind of sensational words, so he stops at the point. However, what I wanted in my heart was to bring home this single that made his dream come true with love as soon as possible and share it with his wife.

I don't know if I noticed his thoughts, but his wife looked at him with a smile and invited, "So, do you want to listen to it now?" ”

The wife who said this sentence couldn't say whether the phrase "so happy, so happy, so happy!", was referring to the name of the song or her current mood.

"Okay. In short, the husband gladly accepted the invitation.

In that case, it doesn't matter at all what it represents.
