Chapter 111

"Akina-san, have you decided which agency to go to?"

Naoki Nagayama, who knew the importance of changing the topic, immediately took the initiative and asked about Akina's choice of agency.

"Not yet, Naoki-san." When asked about this, Akina Nakamori was also a little confused.

"At the beginning, several agencies seemed to want to come over to communicate directly, but after a while, the person in charge said that the agency would make an appointment to visit later..."

"I see. It looks like the agencies are going to hold an internal discussion first."

Naoki Nagayama understood. Akina was too excellent, making many agencies have new ideas. The agency that was originally decided might have changes.

"What internal discussion? If it's an agency, shouldn't it be chosen by our Akina?"

Chieko, who had been smiling and watching the young people talk, suddenly spoke up. As a mother, she was very concerned about her daughter's major events, especially the agency, which is particularly important for an idol career.

"Chieko-san, it's like this. In fact, since the preliminary review meeting last week, the destination of most contestants has been decided internally."

Although he was only half an insider, he still knew more than pure laymen like the Nakamori family.

Naoki Nagayama revealed a little: "Those large agencies communicate with TV stations in advance. Generally, they will decide on the contestants they like in advance. Although they will still raise their signs when the time comes, when communicating and signing contracts, those who have been decided internally will definitely have an advantage."

"Is that so?" As an experienced adult, she could of course understand these unspoken rules. "Then this time?"

"Yes, it should be that some agency has an opinion on the internal decision result, so the communication will be postponed."

Seeing the worried expressions of the Nakamori family, "Everyone, don't worry, this is a good thing~"

"The agency that is willing to break the unspoken rules for Akina-san will definitely give better conditions. You'll know when you see their attitude when they visit the Nakamori family."

"Does Naoki-san mean that Akina should choose the agency that is willing to pay more?" Chieko was thoughtful.

"If they are willing to pay more, then at least the right to speak given to the artist will be greater and freer."

"However, it still depends on the contract conditions given by the agency, as well as the size and reputation of the agency, etc."

Although very reluctant, Naoki Nagayama still used his own agency as a counterexample.

"If it's an agency that is too small, like our GG Agency, there is no way to give Akina-san the best debut conditions."

"That's not the case~" Akina Nakamori said with a smile, "Naoki-san's agency will definitely become a big agency."

"Hahaha, then I'll borrow Akina-san's auspicious words~"

At this time, Otomo Yoshimura walked over from behind, looking a bit surprised to see this group of people: "Naoki-san, that side has been negotiated."

This remark was just a hint, clearly looking like there was something else to say.

Naoki Nagayama saw that the chat was almost over.

"Akina-san, you are about to debut, ganbatte!"

"Hai, arigato!" Then she said, "Akina will definitely work hard to become the kind of idol that Naoki-san expects!"

It seems that what was said like child's play before has now really become Akina Nakamori's goal.

"Hahaha, in that case~ when Akina debuts, I will also give the idol a song!"

Hearing this, Akina Nakamori beamed.

"Hontoni? Then it's a deal~"

After saying goodbye to the other members of the Nakamori family,

Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura walked to the parking lot.

Otomo Yoshimura of course also drove a car.

"Otomo-san, there is no one else now, tell me quickly how it was negotiated?"

Otomo Yoshimura rolled his eyes... Have you ever received the eye-roll of a bald middle-aged man? That is a kind of mental blow...

Naoki Nagayama covered his eyes with his arm, indicating refusal.

"Otomo-san, please don't roll your eyes at me anymore... I beg you!"

Otomo Yoshimura pulled his arm down: "Naoki-san, stop messing around... Let's think about what to do first. Although Junko Ito and I agreed to visit privately later, do we really want to sign her?"

"Hasn't Otomo-san also been a talent scout? Isn't signing artists a common thing? Just explain our agency's situation when visiting."

Naoki Nagayama didn't seem to care.

"If Junko Ito really chooses our agency, we can give slightly better conditions~"

Otomo Yoshimura started to get anxious again: "Naoki-san, the key is that once you sign a contestant from a talent show, you must provide resources. You have to find a composer to create a debut song... We don't have these reserves..."

"Otomo-san, I know!" Naoki Nagayama eased his mind. "Let's look for suitable ones in copyright companies and the underground creative circle first. If it really doesn't work, I have a few spare songs here."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Otomo Yoshimura stopped being anxious all of a sudden. Looking at Naoki Nagayama's creative experience, although there were only two songs, each one was basically a hot-selling song. His stock... he had to search it well.

"Then Naoki-san, bring them to the studio one day and let us take a look first." He said as if casually, "When visiting later, please trouble Naoki-san to go with me too."

"Nani? I have to go too? Isn't this kind of thing something Otomo-san can handle directly?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? As the president, take responsibility properly!" Otomo Yoshimura knew the laziness of this young man well. "This is a necessary courtesy!"

"If you put it that way..." Although a bit reluctant, Naoki Nagayama nodded.

After agreeing on the time, the two walked to their cars separately.

Otomo Yoshimura seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Naoki-san!"

"Nani?"

"The woman in my house is my wife!"

"Eh? Isn't she in the hometown in Nagano?"

"The economic situation has improved a lot, so the family will come to Tokyo together later." Otomo Yoshimura looked very happy.

It seems he was also worried that his husband would go bad after making money. Mrs. Otomo really has a way!

It started to drizzle on the way back.

In this kind of weather, eating a steaming sukiyaki is the best.

Naoki Nagayama didn't hesitate too much.

Seeing a restaurant of decent size on the road, he parked the car and prepared to enjoy a delicious meal.

Speaking of this sukiyaki, it is actually similar to a Chinese casserole. Like a small hot pot, it had solid alcohol lit underneath.

The boiling steam carried the aroma of the food in the pot, making people have a great appetite.

The hot food entered his stomach, making his whole body feel warm, and even the cold autumn wind turned into a spring breeze.

Naoki Nagayama thought about the selection in the morning while eating.

Akina Nakamori is about to debut. The future "chameleon diva" is now just a little "fat vegetable."

It was as if it was destined; a few days ago, he just happened to recall "Second Love," a song that originally belonged to her.

Then let's give it to her at the beginning of the year~

New Year's gift, debut gift, and the intention as a fan; several meanings are combined into one~
