Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 947 Chapter 956, This is hardcore rock?! This is crazy!

The Tokyo International Film Festival is over. Just like every joyous feast, there will always be a time when it ends. In the end, only the last press releases in the newspapers and the festival venues waiting to be demolished will be left.
But that's for the future. Now is the party time after the award ceremony. In addition to the official celebration party organized by the organizer, there are also many celebrity guests in the clubs and nightclubs near Roppongi to celebrate.
The Tokyo International Film Festival has left a significant mark in the history of film. It is an important stepping stone for Japanese films to go global. The status of Shuyou Films and Naoki Nagayama in the entertainment industry has once again been highlighted.

At the celebration party, Shuyou Films received countless invitations to notices, activities, and competitions. Even the Blue Ribbon and Academy Awards at the end of the year hoped that Naoki Nagayama would be a judge or guest.
"Where is Naoki-san?"

After dealing with another industry acquaintance who came to ask questions, Idou Shuichi finally found Yoshimura Otomo who had just escaped from the encirclement.
"Everyone is looking for him!"

Fangcun Otomo sighed:

"This guy said he didn't want to play around with the others, so he left with Akina Nakamori!"

"returned home?"

"Of course not!" Yoshimura Otomo drank the champagne in his glass in one gulp, "That guy went shopping!"

"."

Yi Tang Xiuyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head helplessly.
The celebration party after the film festival! There are so many actors, directors, producers, and investors. What a great networking opportunity.
And Naoki Nagayama actually put aside all that and went shopping with his girlfriend? !

"Naoki-san is still as willful as ever!"

"Becoming famous at a young age and having a fortune makes it natural that he doesn't care about fame and fortune." Yoshimura Otomo complained in a low voice, "Middle-aged people like us are attracted by these things and still can't see through this world of fame and fortune!"

".Otomo-san, you can talk about yourself, why do you have to bring me along?!"

Idou Shuichi's face was filled with black lines. He was only in his thirties, still considered a young talent, okay!!!

Just when the two chatted for a few words, someone else came to toast them, and also asked about the whereabouts of Naoki Nagayama, wanting to make friends with him. In the end, the two of them had to deal with it.

There were many stars attending the celebration banquet, Jackie Chan was one of them. After having a meal with Naoki Nagayama last time, he was impressed by this Japanese director who spoke fluent Mandarin.

"Where is Nagayama Naoki? Why can't I see him?" Jackie Chan asked the translator beside him, "Please ask him for me. I want to talk to him about action scenes!"

The translator consulted with the staff of Shuyou, then returned to his seat and said:
"It seems that Naoki Nagayama has left for something. Maybe he is in another place now."

"Another place? Can I go?"

He subconsciously thought that Naoki Nagayama had gone to a more private and high-end party with those producers.

"That kind of club is usually invitation-only" is a bit difficult to translate.

Although Jackie Chan is very famous and has many fans in Japan, most of the real bigwigs in the entertainment industry regard him as an old hand and do not make much of a fraternity with him.

After all, most of his movies during this period were Hong Kong movies, and he rarely collaborated with Japan. When he came to Japan, he was just passing by for promotion.
"That's it"

Last time I didn’t know about Naoki Nagayama’s status in the Japanese entertainment industry. This time I went back to inquire about it and found out that this guy’s status is already at the top of the Japanese film industry.

I wanted to make some good friends with him, but I didn’t expect that I didn’t even get to meet him this time!

"That's a pity," Jackie Chan sighed, "We can only talk about it next time. I have already found several action directors!"

"."

At this time, Naoki Nagayama was walking with Akina Nakamori on the bustling streets of Roppongi. The brightly lit commercial street and the bustling atmosphere did not make people feel that it was already late at night.

The speed at which an epidemic spreads is unbelievable.

This song was just sung at the closing ceremony, but I could hear people humming it while walking on the street. There were even street singers performing specially in Roppongi. Can you believe it?

"We should pay copyright fees for this, right?" Naoyama Naoki whispered to Akina next to him, "The song hasn't been released yet!"

"If you're singing on the street, you probably won't need it."

Wearing glasses that conceal her beauty and a loose jacket, Akina Nakamori walks down the street like an ordinary girl shopping with her boyfriend.

"Also, we should start promoting this song in future shows."

"What about the current records?" Naoki Nagayama asked unexpectedly.

"It's been a month. The peak of sales has almost passed~"

Akina Nakamori led Naoki Nagayama towards the street artists who were performing. When they sneaked out, they always met some strange people. It was very interesting to watch their performances.
After the important event, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori were able to relax temporarily and finally find time to date.

These two bold guys don't even shy away from the paparazzi that are prevalent here, as long as they are not recognized by fans quickly.

"There are live performances!" Nakamori Akina said, pointing to a simple sign outside a small livehouse. "Tonight there will be a rock show beyond your imagination!"

".Beyond imagination?"

What appeared in Naoki Nagayama's mind was a Shamatte-style performance with colorful hair.
"Let's go and see!" Akina Nakamori was full of curiosity, and her eyes were sparkling as she looked at her boyfriend. "I want to see how it is beyond imagination!"

"Okay~"

Although he didn't want to waste his time on the performance in the small livehouse, since it was Akina who wanted to go, Naoki Nagayama had no intention of refusing. He looked at the information on the whiteboard and saw that the group performing today was .X?

As expected, they are not a well-known group. Maybe they are just two guys who graduated from high school and have nowhere to go and are trying to make a living.

After pushing the door open and going in, a noisy sound different from other bars came out from inside. There was actually a group of people gathered in front of the small stage and shaking their bodies to the shrill rhythm.

There is no such thing as seats for small live performances. Naoki Nagayama ordered two cocktails at the bar and then squeezed in a little towards the front with Akina Nakamori.
The stage is not big, but the performance on it catches people's attention immediately!

There were a few guys with feather duster heads wearing studded leather jackets, playing the bass guitar with great excitement. There was also a shirtless white-haired guy on the drum set behind him, swinging the drumsticks as if he had a cramp.
But these were just minor scenes. What really opened Naoki Nagayama’s eyes was that the cymbals of the drum set were on fire!!! You could smell the distinct smell of gasoline!
“This is very dangerous!”

Amid the piercing music, Naoki Nagayama walked up to Akina Nakamori and whispered in her ear, "Are live performances so wild nowadays?"

"Because it's hard rock!" Akina Nakamori leaned close to Naoki Nagayama's ear and said, "This is visual kei!"

"."

Just when Naoki Nagayama was thinking about how to answer, he saw the shirtless drummer, with an excited expression on his face, suddenly took a sip of wine and sprayed it on the burning drumstick!
With a "boom", a burst of flames erupted from the drum set, causing the audience to exclaim.

The sudden eruption of flames startled the audience, and then they seemed to become even more excited!
The band on the stage also started playing a crazier melody, and the lyrics were "I'll kill you!!!".
"???"

Naoki Nagayama feels that it was a mistake to come here to watch this live performance today. The crazy look of the band in the stands, they must be fans, and they look like they will come down to beat people up if they are not happy with them.
At this moment, the drummer shouted the lyrics "I'll kill you" loudly, then threw away the drumsticks, rushed to an audience member under the stage, grabbed him by the collar and started punching him.
"!!!"

For a moment, screams, bass, lights, and smoke from nowhere filled the livehouse with chaos. You could also hear the girl's screams. It looked like someone had taken advantage of her.
This is hard rock?! This is crazy!
Naoki Nagayama quickly protected Akina Nakamori behind him and moved quickly to the outside. During this time, the livehouse security had already pulled apart the band members who were fighting with the audience!
Although he has white hair and is shirtless, Naoki Nagayama looks stunning at a glance. This guy actually looks like a boy with a feminine appearance, which makes a very deep impression on people at first glance.
Memories suddenly emerged in Naoki Nagayama's mind. Hayashi Yoshiki? !

It seems to be Kudo Shizuka's first love!

"Yoshiki!" The manager of the livehouse came out and yelled at the guy who beat him up, "Get out of here! You are no longer welcome in this livehouse!"

"Do you think I'm scared?!" Lin Jiashu had a red mark on his face, but he still said to the manager defiantly, "It's your loss!"

"I won't lose anything! Go!"

After the manager said this, he quickly went to comfort the audience who had been beaten.
The members of the group came down from the stage and touched their heads briefly, then began to pack up their instruments and walked towards the backstage, and the live performance ended hastily.
Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori ate a whole melon outside. Akina drank the whole cocktail with a straw while watching and sighed with satisfaction:

“Today’s live performance is really worth it!!!”

"Akina." Naoki Nagayama looked at his girlfriend with sparkling eyes, and seemed to remember that she sometimes watched boxing matches. He asked uncertainly, "Do you have any violent tendencies?"

"."

So after leaving the livehouse, Naoki Nagayama's arm was hit by a small fist, and Akina Nakamori was still muttering "Violent tendency, I'll show you what violent tendency is!"

During the following shopping trip, Naoki Nagayama would occasionally think of the scene he saw in the livehouse, and his memories became more detailed.
It seems that Hayashi Yoshiki later achieved great musical success, and the band X-Japan was also known as the representative of visual heavy metal rock.

"Naoki-san?" Akina Nakamori saw that her boyfriend was a little absent-minded, "What are you thinking about?"

“I’m thinking about rock music.”

Naoki Nagayama said,

“Although the previous live performance was violent, it was surprisingly impressive!”

Akina Nakamori's mind turned. She had recently been seriously studying how to sign Yukiko Okada, and she immediately grasped the key point:

"Naoki-san wants to sign that band?!"

"." Naoki Nagayama looked at his girlfriend with some surprise and shook his head, "No, although she has great potential, I don't have the time and energy to train a band."

If you have this much time, why not go traveling?! Why not go to a nightclub? There are so many ladies there!
"So what does Naoki-san think?"

“When I was thinking about how rock music would develop in the future, I thought of famous rock bands.”

In fact, Naoki Nagayama was thinking of another band, ZARD, and also of Izumi Sakai, who passed away young. After all, although he didn't listen to rock music much in his previous life, he had heard Izumi's songs, and he already had her songs~
Since they were talking about music, they naturally lost the desire to continue shopping, so Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori found a taxi and returned to Yamazakurain.

Then I searched through my record box at home, found some classic rock albums, listened to them and shared my feelings while listening.

Sitting on the sofa with legs tucked in, Akina Nakamori leaned in her boyfriend's arms and said:
"For my next album, I also want to try different styles, including rock."

"Indeed, if you want to transform into a talented singer, you need to spend a lot of time and effort on your albums." Naoki Nagayama put his arm around Akina's shoulders. "People who release an album every three months are just agencies and music companies trying to make money."

"There are some very good albums too!" Akina Nakamori retorted.

"But if you want to be a classic, you're still a long way off." Naoyama Naoki said, "Akina doesn't have an album that sold a million copies yet, right?"

"."

Although Akina Nakamori is very popular, her album sales are not that high~
No, the single album of "Snow Flower" has almost sold over a million copies, and it will definitely sell like that when "Love Letter" is released again this winter!

"A talented singer." There was admiration on Akina Nakamori's face.

"Akina's singing voice is very distinctive and her singing skills are solid," said Naoki Nagayama, "Next, we need to find our own musical style."

Although she is called the Variety Songstress, that is her stage performance style. Akina has not yet found her own style in music.

Of course it doesn't matter when you're an idol, you just need to show it off. But as a talented singer, there's less room for impressive performances~
Naoki Nagayama looked at the somewhat confused Akina Nakamori and comforted her with a smile:
"Don't be afraid. Try it boldly. I have my little treasury to back you up!"

"Naoki-san~"

Akina looked up at her boyfriend and happily got on top of him~
It's already midnight, the atmosphere is just right, and we're alone
Friction generates heat, and Naoki Nagayama's heart also rises with a flame, and he can't help but hug the soft body and start to move his hands up and down~
"Huh? Why does it feel wrong?" When he touched a certain fullness, a strange thought popped up in Nagayama Naoki's mind, "It seems to be one size bigger? Have I gained weight?"
