Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 831 839, Yamaguchi Baihui's surprise ~ moving to a new home ~
Speaking of Tokyo's Minato Ward, it is actually somewhat similar to Hong Kong.

Although the place is not big, because it is a port, people from all over the world come and go, and even the buildings are full of a mixture of various foreign cultures.

Here you can see German churches, American bars, British old shops, French cakes, and Italian coffee. Even the Japanese living in the port area speak more standard English than those in other areas.

Since retiring, Yamaguchi Baihui has chosen to live in Minato Ward with her husband Miura Tomokazu. Perhaps they thought that in this more diverse culture and more inclusive atmosphere, being a former star would not attract too much attention.
But she miscalculated. Even after almost five years, paparazzi taking photos can still be seen from time to time outside the 80 Building in Takanawa.

Wearing a low-key dark windbreaker and carrying a black handbag on her shoulder, Yamaguchi Baihui, who has been married for five years, is still slender and slim. Her fair cheeks under the sunglasses look delicate and charming, and she still shows the demeanor of a former top idol.
The bag in her hand is filled with ingredients purchased today. In order to avoid harassment from paparazzi, Yamaguchi Momoe does not purchase very frequently and only buys about a week's worth of ingredients at a time.

“Beef, eggs, milk.”

With her head down, sorting out today's shopping list, Yamaguchi Momoe also wanted to go home early. Her first child with Miura Tomokazu is only one year old and cannot be away from his mother for too long.

When they walked up the hill, the Takanawa 80 Building was not far away, and Yamaguchi Baihui quickened her pace, wanting to get home faster.
Those paparazzi are very resourceful. They will find opportunities to take pictures secretly, such as when their children are getting vaccinated, when Miura Tomokazu and themselves celebrate their birthdays, and when they need to go out on various festivals. But after all, they don't wait there every day, only occasionally.

"This is?"

I saw several small trucks suddenly parked at the back door of the building, and some staff were moving furniture into the freight elevator.

"Have any new tenants moved in?"

Yamaguchi Baihui took a few curious glances, then walked in through the main entrance. When she saw the familiar security guard on duty, Matsuzaki Kazushi, she asked:
"Matsuzaki-san, which family moved?"

"Mrs. Miura is back~" Matsuzaki Kazushi smiled. He worked at Yamaguchi Momoe's residence and could often see his idol. It was really great. "It's the owner of the top floor. It seems that she is no longer in Neon~"

"The top floor?" Yamaguchi Baihui thought for a moment. The top floor is the most expensive room, and it seems that a foreigner does not live here often. "Then who is the new tenant?"

"Ah, it's really surprising. I saw it in the resident registration. It's Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori."

As a tower building with strict security, all residents need to register. Even friends who want to come to a party must notify the security department in advance, otherwise they will not be allowed in.
"Eh?!!"

Upon hearing the news, Yamaguchi Momoe was naturally very surprised. As a former national idol, she naturally kept paying attention to the entertainment industry.

Akina Nakamori is the most popular female idol at the moment, and Naoki Nagayama is also a well-known figure in the entertainment industry. How could these two people suddenly live in the Takanawa 80 Building?
"Mrs. Miura, do you know Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama?" Matsuzaki Kazushi asked curiously.

“Not familiar.”

Yamaguchi Baihui shook her head and said, of course she knew them, they were all celebrities.

However, they have never met each other. When Akina Nakamori debuted, Momoe Yamaguchi had already retired and never met. The same is true for Nagayama Naoki.
However, Yamaguchi Momoe suddenly remembered that Nagayama Naoki was once her fan. It couldn't be that he moved here because of me, right?
This thought flashed through her mind, and Yamaguchi Baihui shook her head, thinking that she was too narcissistic.
It's been five years, and the world has changed and time has passed. How could Naoki Nagayama do such a thing because of his former idol?

Besides, he lives here with Akina Nakamori!
"But, there will probably be more paparazzi in the future." Yamaguchi Momoe was a little worried. Her daily life might become more troublesome in the future!
"The child has grown up and can't stay at home forever. He needs to go to kindergarten. I need to communicate with Youhejun. It's time to find a new address!"

With this thought in mind, Yamaguchi Momoe said goodbye to the guard and took the elevator home with a heavy heart.

Although he was once a national idol, as the agency's cash cow, it is natural that he was severely exploited.

The money that actually fell into her hands was only enough to maintain a decent life in Tokyo, and after Miura Tomokazu married her, his career plummeted.

The current housing prices are not too easy for two people.
Naoki Nagayama did not tell anyone about his move, including his acquaintances such as Otomo Yoshimura.

On the one hand, he moved because Yamazakurain had to be renovated, and on the other hand, he wanted to stay away from these acquaintances to avoid the spotlight. After all, after the news that he was the author of "Paradise Lost" was confirmed, the first people to look for him would definitely be a group of acquaintances.

I wrote such an exciting novel, but I didn’t tell them. I even pretended I knew nothing when everyone was discussing it. I was simply teasing my friends!!!

How can you tolerate this? I must come to your house and ask for an explanation!

As for those media reporters and paparazzi, he didn't care. Not many people knew that he lived in Yamazakurayuan, and the paparazzi couldn't find his address.

Even if they found it, there were no neighbors around, and they couldn't film or interview anything because of the high and thick bamboo walls.

The yard with a separate entrance and a separate house was bought for more than 4000 million yuan. It is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions now.
"Just put the things in the living room~" Naoki Nagayama stood behind the door and directed the movers, "I'll sort it out later!"

"Hi!" The uniformed mover nodded in agreement.

Seeing the things that originally belonged to Yama Sakurain being moved into this apartment one by one, Naoki Nagayama felt very emotional that all the memories of the past five years were here!

Every move is like a new step in life.
"By the way, if you just moved, it seems that you have to give some gifts to your neighbors." Naoki Nagayama touched his chin, "But I live on the top floor, and the elevator is not the same as the other households. It seems that there is no need for this."

There are only two households on the top floor, and the space is very spacious. There is a long fire escape and staircase in the middle, and the passage is closed all year round. And he is only here for transition.
Naoki Nagayama shook his head and said, "Forget it, just ignore it!"
Then we started to decorate our new home. I will probably stay at Yamazakurain for another day tonight, and after tomorrow, we will have moved in completely.
While Naoki Nagayama was busy moving, Akina Nakamori was also busy with her music research.

"Have you prepared your stage costumes for tonight?" Akina Nakamori asked her assistant Maki Ueda, "We can't miss the live broadcast today!"

"Hi, I've prepared three sets and put them in the trunk!" Maki Ueda nodded and replied.

"That's good~"

After feeling relieved, Akina Nakamori started looking at the script in her hand again. This was the promotional script for today's live broadcast. Although she has always been a little resistant to sales, she still needs to increase sales with the official release of the new record!

Today is Friday. It was announced on Music Station that it will be officially released tomorrow. I will also go to the offline fan club concert tomorrow to encourage fans to buy it.
"I probably won't be able to rest this weekend~"

Akina Nakamori looked at her busy schedule, sighed while sitting in the lounge, then looked up at the brochures, posters, and peripherals on the table. She took a deep breath and regained confidence:
"The first album after the new contract must be a success!"

Just as I was secretly cheering myself up, there was a knock on the door, and Ming Xingfang walked in:
"Akina-chan, we can go now~"

"Hi!"

In the early spring evening, perhaps because it gets dark earlier, there are not the long sunsets and dusks like in summer.

However, the setting sun shone through the misty clouds, depicting a rosy-red sunset against the deep blue background. The intoxicating color in the sky seemed to foreshadow a smooth promotion and a future in which the album would sell well.

Akina Nakamori opened the car window and enjoyed the spring breeze blowing towards her, but she thought of her lover in her heart:

"Naoki-san should be watching this scene from his new house right now, right? From such a high floor-to-ceiling window, he should be able to see the whole of Tokyo. It must be a beautiful scene!"

The dividing line after a night

At dawn the next day, the only person who woke up in the bedroom of Yamazakurain was Naoki Nagayama.

Akina Nakamori got up before dawn and left early.

On the first day of the official release of the new album, she had as many as 18 schedules. It can be said that she could not rest from early morning to late at night, so naturally there was no question of helping with the move or anything like that.

After Naoki Nagayama went downstairs, he only saw Inari and Nyanko Taro wandering around the living room, as if wondering why the house seemed so empty.

"Today is your last meal at Yamazakurain, so I'll make it richer for you."

Naoki Nagayama added a can of food to Yingtaro, and added a lot of catnip to the food for Miaotaro. For cats, every move is not a small matter. He wants to make this orange cat feel relaxed today.

"After eating, you can go on your journey with peace of mind!"

"Woof woof!" Yingtaro said foolishly, feeling very happy about the extra meal.

On the other side, Nyanotaro seemed to sense some inexplicable malice. He sniffed his breakfast with some caution, but it was useless as he couldn't resist the charm of catnip!
He also had a simple breakfast of coffee and bread. The food in the refrigerator had been moved out, leaving only a little food for this morning. After he finished eating, he started to pack the last of his luggage.
"Ding dong~"

The gate of Yamazakurain rang, and Keiko Fujita came with Naoya Sakata and Shinkai Ishida. They came to confirm the final renderings of the renovation.

"Good morning~" Naoki Nagayama greeted a few people, "Xinhai-chan, why are you here too?"

Ishida Shinkai should be with Nagayama Kaede~
"When I went back to the design office, I saw Sakata-san designing the new blueprint for Yamazakurain, and I couldn't help but pay attention to it~" Ishida Xinhai said with a smile, "Now Kaede's KTV doesn't have any new stores to design for the time being, so I want to participate in the renovation of Naoki-san's new home~"

Ishida Shinkai is an architectural designer by profession, so he is naturally interested in interesting construction projects. What's more, Naoki Nagayama is a friend and future relative, so he naturally has to help.

She had not participated in Naoki Nagayama’s previous large-scale projects such as Yamazakurain, Sanmaikeu, and Kyoto Garden, which she felt was a bit of a pity, so she came over for this renovation.

In fact, she also wanted to make a reference for the residence for herself and Nagayama Feng. According to the progress, they might get married next year~
"Is that so~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Kokami-chan~"

After entering the house, Keiko Fujita was surprised to see the empty living room:

"Naoki-san, have all the things been moved over?"

"Well, after communicating with you this morning, I brought Inatarou and Nyanotaro over with me, and we'll live completely in the new house!" Naoki Nagayama walked to the restaurant with a few people.

Sitting around the big dining table, we spread out the design blueprint. It showed a European-style building divided into three parts. The whole building was made of marble. It looked a bit like the old Furukawa Gardens in Tokyo, but smaller.
The original two-story building of Yamazakurain has become the protrusion on the left, while the three-story building on the other side has had one floor cut off, and a shorter room connects the two.
"Naoki-san, the second-floor building of Yamazakurain will be used as a private or family space in the future~" Naoya Sakata introduced, "I moved the kitchen and dining room to the middle. The small building over there will be used as a formal reception area, with a large living room and a bar. The second floor will be an entertainment room, bedrooms, etc."

"The outside courtyard will be redesigned, and the pond will be placed on the other side as a view of the living room. The cherry tree side will not change much."

The entire rendering was basically based on the last discussion with Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori. Even the landscape of the pool was added. It was just a bit unexpected that one floor of the three-story building on the other side was cut off.

But it does look better if it's a bit more symmetrical.
The one-story building in the middle has a slight curve, enclosing an open space in the middle and designing a flower bed. It serves as the main entrance and parking space for friends’ gatherings.

The daily parking place is to go around to the garage behind~
Such a large space, plus the pool and courtyard landscape outside, naturally cannot be taken care of by Naoki Nagayama himself. He needs to hire a team of housekeepers to carry out daily maintenance. If he wants to maintain privacy, he only needs to clean it once a week.
But spending money is nothing to Naoki Nagayama now!

"The reconstruction is expected to take three months and be completed in the summer." Naoya Sakata chattered on and on until the end of the construction period.

Naoki Nagayama nodded as he looked at the renderings. The opinions raised previously had been fully taken into consideration, and the design effect was also very beautiful:
"Very good~ Let's build it like this~"

Naoki Nagayama did not have much experience in architectural design, so whatever the designer said was the truth. However, even in the future, this European style was loved by many people, and Naoki Nagayama was no exception.

If you are tired of this style, you can buy other properties~
As for the interior decoration such as materials and furniture, rich people will naturally not be too picky and will just use the most advanced and best ones.
At the end, Naoki Nagayama said to the two designers:
"Sakata-san, and Kokami-chan, the reconstruction of Yamazakurain is up to you!"

"Hey, we will try our best to do the best!" Naoya Sakata bowed seriously in response. He would definitely pay more attention to the big sponsor of his own design firm!

"Naoki-san, just leave it to us!" Ishida Shinkai also promised this!
"Arigado~"

After the final design was determined, several people left to prepare. They submitted drawings for approval, ordered building materials, and assembled a construction team. There were many things to do later.
Naoki Nagayama looked at the time and saw that it was almost ten o'clock, so he put the catnip balls he had prepared into the airline box:

"Come on, Nyantarou, come in and take some drugs! We're moving to a new house!"
