Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 807 Chapter 815, Moshi Moshi, Naoki Nagayama found! Come quickly!!
I came to Shin-Okachimachi after a long time. The New Sound Studio is still hidden in a small corner, but the decoration inside seems to have changed.

Because most of Shuyou's recording work is done here, the small Xinyin Studio has gained some fame and receives other orders from time to time.

"Ozaki-kun!" Nagayama Naoki saw Ozaki Yutaka and the plump Sudo Akira at the door, "Sudo-san~"

"Naoki-san!" "What a coincidence, we bumped into each other at the door~"

The two of them also greeted each other in a friendly manner and exchanged pleasantries.
Today we had an appointment to record the theme song of "Love Century", "幸せな結末 (Happy Ending)", in the recording studio, so everyone came here early in the morning.

"Brother Ozaki, have you practiced the song '幸せな結末 (Happy Ending)'?" Naoki Nagayama asked with a smile.

The somewhat shy older boy in front of him nodded: "I have practiced it very well!"

"That's good. Love Century will be airing soon~"

Naoki Nagayama and the other two walked into the store together. Onodera Kokoro was already waiting in front of them:
"Naoki-san, Ozaki-san, Sudo-san, welcome to the New Sound Studio"

"Hi, hi, hi~ We've been here so many times~" Sudo Akira waved his hand casually, "We're all familiar with each other, so there's no need for such politeness~"

"Haha, then everyone go in first, I've turned on the air conditioner~"

Onodera Shin led a few people to the lounge upstairs. It was only the end of January and the temperature was still very cold. When Ozaki Yutaka came here, he always had to drink something to warm his throat before he could start recording.

Because they were going to sing, Onodera only brought warm water, and Naoki Nagayama chatted with Ozaki Yutaka in the lounge:

"Brother Ozaki, did you have a solo concert in the spring?"

“Hey, it’s the end of March.”

"Don't wait until cherry blossom season?"

"The cherry blossoms are too sad and beautiful, which is a bit unsuitable for the rock atmosphere." Ozaki Yutaka seemed much more excited when talking about his music. "This time I want to express a kind of rebellion under restraint. Even if it is restrained by the outside world, it cannot stop our inner freedom."

"Haha, rock music is free like this~"

Sudo Akira also joined the discussion at this time: "Some of the songs selected this time are newly created and will definitely bring a different feeling to the fans!"

"But." Ozaki Yutaka sighed, "After rehearsing a few times, I always feel that the passion is there, but I can't perform the feeling of breaking free from the shackles. Even if I take off my coat during the singing, it still feels inadequate."

"." The clothes are so sexy! The female fans will be excited!

"Ahem. The feeling of breaking free from restraints." Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment, "Why not try performing in a suit, like the Beatles did."

"Hmm? The Beatles?"

"Well, look at their suits with nude trousers."

At this time, Naoki Nagayama was actually thinking of another person. The image of Dou Daxian wearing a suit and singing rock music is the memory of a generation.
"It's best to wear all black. The more formal and restrained the better. Then you can use your voice and music to express the emotions and rebellion that are restrained in the suit."

Ozaki Yutaka and Sudo Akira looked at each other. In this contemporary era of visual kei, the style of stage performances is changing towards eye-catching and bizarre costumes.

Their previous stage costumes have always been designed to be unique and trendy, and they had never considered suits. After all, suits represent the social constraints that rock music is most rebellious against!
But if you think about it, isn't it the most rebellious thing to wear a formal suit at a rock concert?!

"Naoki-san's idea," Sudo Akira said with a click of his tongue, "is to elevate the concert into performance art!"

"It's also a tribute to our rock predecessors!" Ozaki Toyoya nodded in agreement, "We'll have to think about it carefully when we get back!"

"Haha, I'm just saying that. It's your concert after all, so think about it yourself~"

Naoki Nagayama saw that everyone had already finished a cup of warm water and that they were in their best condition, so he said:

"Today, let's record "幸せな結末 (Happy Ending)" first!"

"Hi!" X2
Ozaki Yutaka has recorded several albums with Naoki Nagayama and has some understanding of his style in the recording studio.

So after singing a few times, I felt a little nervous when I saw Naoki Nagayama's frowning brow through the soundproof glass.

"Naoki-san, does this still not feel right?"

"Well"

At this time, Naoki Nagayama was comparing the version sung by Ozaki Yutaka with his memory.

Maybe the original version of "幸せな結末 (Happy Ending)" is not very famous, so it doesn't sound very iconic to Naoki Nagayama.
People's voices are different, and Naoki Nagayama can't ask Ozaki Yutaka to sing in the same style as Ōtaki Eiichi.
"Brother Ozaki, your singing is actually quite good."

When Ozaki Yutaka heard this, he knew there was a "but" behind it. Sure enough, Naoyama Naoki continued,
"However, when singing, add a little more tail note to make the feeling of happiness linger."

"."

Ozaki Yutaka feels that these musicians are just as good as the difficult Party A. Can adding an ending sound give it a lingering aftertaste?
Why didn’t you say it could still linger in my mind for three days!
However, since he was his boss after all, Ozaki Yutaka adjusted himself and started to re-interpret the story.
"

Fortunately, I saw the ending.
(You will definitely find a happy ending)

Tonight (こんや) you (きみ) is your (ぼく)

(Tonight you belong to me)
Baby you're mine~
"

Naoki Nagayama listened to Ozaki Yutaka's singing with headphones. He had to admit that this young man had an enviable voice. His low voice was full of vigor. When he sang love songs, his gentle voice was like whispering in his ear.
In modern terms, it will make your ears pregnant!

After re-recording each sentence and making several revisions based on Naoki Nagayama's suggestions, it was finally completed.
"Brother Ozaki, you can consider singing more love songs in the future." Naoyama Naoki said with a smile, "Maybe you can get a title like the Prince of Love Songs."

"."

Get out of here, I’m a rock musician!

Ozaki Yutaka complained silently in his heart, but he still had the idea of ​​a love song in his mind~
An office at TBS.

"What?" After receiving the news, the producer of the prank variety show Utsumi Naoyuki couldn't believe it. "You really rejected it?"

"Hey!" Shirakawa Naoyuki replied, "I rejected it without mercy!"

"Ken-On said that Akina Nakamori is busy recording and producing her new album and has no time to participate in other variety shows!"

Utsumi Naoyuki confirmed again:
"Did you tell me my name? We are the most popular prank show on TBS! The ratings can even reach 30%!"

"Hey, of course!"

Shirakawa Naoyuki looked at the surprised Utsumi Naoyuki and couldn't help feeling a little gloating. Who said yesterday that Ken-On would definitely give him face? He completely overestimated his own status!
"Does Akina Nakamori really not want to be exposed?!"

Naoyuki Utsumi couldn't understand it. It was obvious that prank shows were the most worry-free announcement for artists. They didn't have to prepare anything, but the production team would prepare everything and they would do their best not to let the artists find out.
Apart from some accidents when being teased, basically no damage is caused. Even the recording time is so short that it will not affect anything at all!

"Ken-On said that Akina Nakamori is very busy right now."

Just listening to this reason, you can tell that it is just an excuse. Which artist is not busy? The more popular they are, the more busy their schedules are. It just depends on whether they are willing to make time!

"So are they still participating in "THE BEST TEN"?"

"Of course, Akina Nakamori's "Tears Are Not Decorations" has been at the top of the charts for consecutive years!"

"That means she looks down on us!" Utsumi Naoyuki sulked, "Isn't she afraid that I will prevent her from appearing on THE BEST TEN?"

Shirakawa Naoyuki shrugged his shoulders. The production team of "THE BEST TEN" would not give up on Akina Nakamori. She was a guarantee of ratings!
Besides, her boyfriend also has a show called “Music Station”!

"No, I can't let Akina Nakamori go so easily!" Naoyuki Utsumi still wants to rely on Akina Nakamori to get a breakthrough in the ratings!

"How about we strike first? Create a fait accompli and then talk to Yan Yin?"

"Team leader, you will be caught by the police if you do this!" Shirakawa Naoyuki said, "Besides, without the cooperation of the agency, we won't have the chance to play a prank on him!"

"How can it be repaired? Is there no other way?"

"You can use your connections to persuade the top management of Yanyin. Or, you can pay a very high labor fee!"

".We are TBS TV station!"

Because Japanese TV stations are the monopoly party, the agencies have always been the ones asking for help from the TV stations. So even the labor fees are very low. This time, they actually have to ask for help from the research and development of sound.
"Forget it, I just don't believe that without Akina Nakamori, the ratings will never go up to 30%!"

"Okay, you're the boss~
At this time, Akina Nakamori, who had always made excuses for being busy, had a rare break.

She sat in the passenger seat of the car, quickly pressing the latest pager to contact her boyfriend.
As soon as the car phone rang, Akina Nakamori picked it up:
"Naoki-san!"

"Akina?" Naoki Nagayama's voice came from the receiver. "What's the matter? Why are you calling so urgently?"

"The cover shoot this afternoon has been rescheduled!" Akina Nakamori said in a relaxed tone, "So I have the whole afternoon free!"

"."

Oh, so you called me to hang out? Don’t I have anything to do? Aren’t you busy?!

"Did Akina have lunch?" Naoki Nagayama certainly didn't spoil the fun and checked the time. "Shall we go on a date together?"

"Uh-huh!"

Although you can't see it, Akina Nakamori kept nodding her head in the car.
"where are we going?"

"Hmm." Naoki Nagayama looked at his current location and suddenly remembered that Ueno Park was nearby. "Taito District. Remember the western restaurant near Ueno Park? I'm nearby."

"Ah, that one!"

Akina Nakamori naturally remembered that it was the night Naoki Nagayama confessed to her and the place where they had dinner together.
"I'll go check it out first~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, "I'll visit the old place again in the afternoon."

"Hi~~~"

No matter where she goes, for Akina, being with Naoki Nagayama is enough.

After hanging up the phone, Nakamori Akina looked at Mingxing Fusano next to her and smiled a little guilty: "Haha, Fusano-san, let's go to the Western restaurant near Ueno Park in Taito District."

"it is good."

Ming Xingfang didn't say much and started the car~
On the contrary, Akina Nakamori seemed to suddenly realize the difference: "Fang Ze-san, it seems that I have received fewer announcements recently."

In the past, even if there were temporary changes in schedule, the day's work was still full, and the schedule could even be scheduled by the hour.

Ming Xingfang glanced at her idol and said, "Don't you remember that your boyfriend threatened President Hanami?"
If you don't reduce your work, you will be forced to retire!

"Akina-chan," Akikofusa said, "The agency means that from now on, apart from music shows and promotional periods, I will not participate in ordinary variety shows! Of course, except for the Red and White Song Contest."

"Is that so~"

Nakamori Akina finally understood a little bit, and after thinking about it, she still felt a little bit regretful.
“Come to think of it, some variety shows are pretty interesting too~”

"If Akina wants, you can continue to take it!" Akina Yukifusa said, "In fact, it is good to ensure a certain amount of exposure."

Akina Nakamori immediately crossed her hands: "Dame! NO! No! This is good enough!"

With so many schedules, every day is so busy. And when she goes on the show, she will face a group of talented people in the entertainment industry. Although they speak very nicely, no one knows what is in their hearts. This is actually a burden for Akina Nakamori!
"."

Ming Xingfang gave up.
"Okay, let's do as Akina-chan says. But the national tour from July to September is still necessary!"

"Yeah~" Akina Nakamori was very happy to be able to reduce her workload. "Anyway, if there are any interesting programs in the future, I can still participate!"

".You want to go play!"

"Hehe~"

After Naoki Nagayama separated from Yutaka Ozaki and Akira Sudo, they drove slowly to the vicinity of Ueno Park.

It was lunch time and there were many people eating in the western restaurant. However, due to good segmentation, everyone was focused on their own tables and no one recognized that there was a star standing at the door.

The manager of the western restaurant obviously recognized Naoki Nagayama, not only because he was always in the headlines, but also because he once booked the entire restaurant to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday.

"Mr. Naoki Nagayama, what brings you here~"

"I want to have lunch here. But I don't have a reservation. Is there any table available?"

"Of course, we always prepare a table for the most distinguished guests~"

The manager said polite words and led Naoki Nagayama to a secluded place on the second floor.
"Naoki-san, what would you like to eat today?"

"Wait a minute," Naoki Nagayama flipped through the menu, "The person I'm meeting hasn't arrived yet. Let me order a bottle of 76 Bordeaux red wine."

"Hi!" The restaurant manager nodded and immediately went to prepare~
"What should I eat today?" Naoki Nagayama was in a dilemma.
At this time, because the manager personally walked in, a customer recognized Naoki Nagayama's appearance and hurriedly finished his meal and walked out of the restaurant.
Then I quickly found a nearby telephone booth.
"Moshimoshi, I found Naoki Nagayama at a western restaurant next to Ueno Park!"

".Come quickly!"
