Chapter 1185: Makes people want to have a romantic encounter~

About half a month had passed since the filming of *Departures*, and the heat of Momoe Yamaguchi's comeback was still receiving attention from many fans. However, looking at the entertainment industry as a whole, the heat of this big revelation had already cooled down~

The entertainment industry never lacks fresh things, and the replacement of the old by the new refers not only to the celebrities themselves, but also to the fan groups in the entertainment industry... After all, Momoe Yamaguchi had retired for 7 or 8 years, and the impression of the new generation of fans about her was approximately... an outdated star?

The person who is truly standing at the top of the entertainment industry today is the idol star sister who is sought after and loved by countless people, out of the circle in film, television, and music, and sits firmly on the throne—Akina Nakamori!

And today, Akina Nakamori is going to release a new song again~

TV Asahi's *Music Station* program invited Akina as a theme guest this time... The theme this time is, the woman of the new era...

"Yoshie-chan..."

In the backstage, Akina Nakamori met Yoshie Kashiwabara by chance. This idol with deep qualifications had been very popular since last year.

On the one hand, it was because she changed her style and started to take the mature and sexy route, and several consecutive records were very popular. On the other hand, of course, it was related to one of her concerts last year.

At that concert, Crown Prince Naruhito, ignoring the unspoken rules of the royal family, personally went to the scene of her concert and presented a rose... Since then, the name "Royal Idol" was placed on her head...

It is heard that the Imperial Household Agency of the Japanese royal family was so anxious because of this that they let Crown Prince Naruhito participate in various social banquets to look at other more "appropriate" candidates for the princess, just because they were worried that one day Naruhito would really pursue Yoshie Kashiwabara.

"Akina-chan!"

Yoshie Kashiwabara, who was wearing a somewhat sexy shoulder-padded suit, greeted her with a smile, and then looked at Akina Nakamori's stage costume in surprise,

"This... is this a Hermes silk scarf? It seems to be a limited edition!"

"Hai... made a stage costume with silk scarves~" Akina nodded. "It matches the style of the new song..."

"..."

Yoshie Kashiwabara was surprised and speechless, looking at Akina Nakamori's appearance up and down...

The stage costume, which was mainly based on platinum patterns, was arrogant and luxurious, plus the big gold chain shining on her neck, it had some extravagant atmosphere.

Coupled with Akina Nakamori's heavy makeup and neat black hair, she had both the feeling of a mature big sister and the atmosphere of a luxurious city...

"Is that decorative gold necklace pure gold?!"

The first thought that popped into Yoshie Kashiwabara's mind was this, although she knew that most of the idols' performance costumes were ordinary materials and decorations, but when Akina Nakamori wore clothes made of limited Hermes silk scarves, no one thought that the necklace on her neck was brass~

"Akina-chan, are you going to perform a new song today?"

"Hai, the new song *BLONDE*, it will be promoted starting today!"

Akina didn't hide anything and said it directly and generously,

"The second record of this year..."

"Released at this time, is Akina going to impact the semi-annual record award?"

"There is no such plan for now~"

What's the point of the semi-annual award? Akina Nakamori's goal has always been the annual Japan Record Award... If she wins again this year, it will be an unprecedented three consecutive championships!

And it will be the first time that pop songs have broken the monopoly of enka on the record award, the first time a female singer has surpassed many male singers, and the first time she has stood at the pinnacle of the music industry from the low starting point of an idol star...

This will leave a heavy stroke in the history of Japanese music. In the future, her name might not be a name shared with others like "Variety Diva" or "Three Great Divas of Showa", but "Pop Diva", "Showa Diva", "Showa's Number One Diva"...

"That's it..." Yoshie Kashiwabara breathed a sigh of relief, one less powerful competitor!

The semi-annual record award is still a very high honor for other idols!

Next, Akina Nakamori met Kyoko Koizumi, Naoko Kawai, and other female idols with slightly deeper qualifications, and finally met Seiko Matsuda...

"Seiko-san... Sashi-buri~"

"Akina-

Through extreme self-discipline, Seiko Matsuda has regained her once slim figure, and her face still carries a sweet smile, returning to being that most perfect idol... as if giving birth to a child was just an illusion~

"Hasn't Seiko-san been in the United States during this time?" Akina Nakamori asked curiously, "Is it in New York?"

"Hai, I held a few small fan meetings over there..." Seiko Matsuda said, "I also learned about overseas music styles and plan to produce an album..."

After Seiko Matsuda made her comeback after giving birth, she began the process of entering overseas markets, and the first stop was New York... because New York is the first choice for many Japanese people to go to...

Generally speaking, there are two reasons for stars to develop overseas markets: one is that the domestic market has reached its peak and needs another breakthrough, and the other is that domestic competition is too fierce and popularity has begun to decline, so they have to go out to find a way to survive.

But when promoting externally, naturally the first one is used...

"That's great... the birthplace of pop music..."

Akina was a little envious. She had also been to New York a few times, but it was just a shallow visit without an in-depth understanding.

"I estimate that I will also go to the United States for a trip next year, and the direction of subsequent songs will lean towards Western music... I need to learn more..."

"..."

Seiko Matsuda tightened her eyebrows calmly... This Akina Nakamori, could it be that she is also thinking of going to the United States to develop the market?!

Japan is not enough, could it be that she wants to compete with me in the United States?!

However, over in the United States... very few people know Japanese stars, and everything has to start from scratch... Seiko Matsuda felt that she had no reason not to be able to compete with Akina Nakamori!

Little did she know, the foreign version of "Ghost" is already about to be released in the United States~

And Akina Nakamori at this time is thinking...

"Naoki-san seems to have an apartment in the United States? In Manhattan... so when I go there, I won't need to stay in a hotel!"

Just as the female stars in the backstage had their own thoughts, the live broadcast of "Music Station" is finally about to begin!

It is still Shonentai doing the opening. The three of them are now the representatives of male idol groups, and their energetic dancing caused continuous cheers from the audience in the studio...

Next, Tamori, wearing glasses, walked onto the main stage:

"Minna-san, it's Friday again... Welcome everyone to watch this week's live broadcast of 'Music Station'..."

"Today's music theme is 'The Voice of New Era Women'... Let's welcome today's guests to the stage!"

As the big screen played the VCR, women whose names resounded in the music world appeared on the screen. You could see Seiko Matsuda on her tiptoes singing "Barefoot Season," see Akina Nakamori performing a passionate tango on stage, see Naoko Kawai playing the piano, and see Yoshie Kashiwabara holding the microphone, dignified and elegant...

As the recording was broadcast, guests such as Akina Nakamori, Seiko Matsuda, and Yoshie Kashiwabara also walked to the front of the stage one by one.

"Ya... haven't seen Akina for a long time... but even with sunglasses, I can see Akina's eye-catching stage outfit!"

Tamori joked with a smile. As the most popular idol, the host will naturally guide the focus to Akina, and Akina belongs to the first song of the opening, so there is not much interview time left for her...

"Hai... a bit of an exaggerated new look!"

Akina also responded with a smile.

"It looks like it's sewn from silk scarves... This pattern, it seems to be Hermès... a limited edition?!"

"It is indeed..."

"Is the whole body like that?" Tamori asked unexpectedly.

"Hai..."

"How many pieces were used in total..."

"More than 20 pieces..." Akina said, "Some still need to be cut to a suitable size..."

"Wow... one set uses so many?!"

Tamori made an exaggerated expression.

"How many sets are there?"

"About... five sets..."

Yes, the same waist-cinching Hermès silk scarf stage outfit, Akina Nakamori made five sets at once! And looking at the demand, she can add more at any time!

"Ah..."

Tamori didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Akina-chan's outfit is going to make so many women envious and jealous..."

"Hahaha..."

"I heard you are going to sing a new song today?!"

"Hai... the name is 'BLONDE', it's a passionate and unrestrained song!"

"A blonde girl? It's really something to look forward to... I want to see it sooner..." Tamori said with a smile, "Then I won't delay..." Tamori said, "Go and prepare quickly..."

"Hai..."

After Akina Nakamori went to prepare for the performance, Tamori turned to ask the other guests:

"How many Hermès silk scarves do you have?"

"..." A few are always there...

"Have you ever thought about using limited edition silk scarves to make clothes?!"

"..."

This... is too wasteful... clothes sewn from various silk scarves are actually uncomfortable to wear...

Making one set is fine to try, but making four or five sets at once...

Well... actually, it's because I can't bear to... Japanese artists are not that rich...

And under another lens, on the stage spraying dry ice mist, Akina Nakamori has already posed and is ready for the performance.

As the rhythm of the electronic music sounded, the spotlight also flashed on the stage, and Akina Nakamori, who was in the center of the lens, began to dance with the music...

"

Yobareru mama kashizuita

(Just a call, and you appeared before my eyes)

Deaeta no ga kiseki no you ne

(Meeting you is like a miracle)

Watashi yori tsuyoi otoko wo sagashiteta

(I have been looking for a man stronger than myself)

Onna wa dare mo

(As long as it's a woman)

Hageshiku aisaretai

(Everyone hopes to be loved intensely)

"

The platinum Hermès silk scarf fits her slender figure...

The flashing gold necklace and bracelet reflect fragmented light...

The urban beauty in the middle seems to be in a noisy dance floor, twisting her slender waist at will, dancing unrestrainedly~

The dance has no fixed form, as if it is just moving with the rhythm of the music, but it carries an unparalleled mysterious charm...

Just like an urban girl in the noisy era, telling her wishes and expectations with her dance in the bustling song and dance hall... looking forward to an unexpected love~

Just like the blonde girl in the United States, the Japanese urban girl who symbolizes the spirit of the era shows her charm on the stage~

Undoubtedly, Akina Nakamori's look will once again trigger a fashion trend in Japan... The brand Hermès should give Akina an endorsement fee!

"Music Station" is a live broadcast, and it is already a very popular music program on TV Asahi. Every Friday, there are countless viewers squatting in front of the TV screen.

And today, Akina Nakamori's "BLONDE" debut hit the audience with a full-scale impact!

"It's really Akina Nakamori! The new look is too cool!"

"Platinum Hermès silk scarf battle robe! This outfit costs a year of my salary!"

"Very sexy... this figure, this waist..."

"The rhythm is very good... makes people want to go to the disco to dance!"

"The lyrics are also very interesting... if I could have a romantic encounter in a dance hall... that would be the best!" A fan prayed silently in his heart, "It would be best if I could meet Akina Nakamori!"

"..."

It can be said that as soon as the song "BLONDE" came out, it caused a heated discussion in the entertainment industry. Many calls were made directly to the headquarters of Ken-On, asking when this song would be on sale...

At this time, in Sanyingyuan, Naoki Nagayama has returned home from the filming base and is holding little Xia Hua, sitting in front of the TV, watching his wife's live broadcast together...

"Ah... Ma~ma~..."

As soon as Akina Nakamori came out, little Xia Hua excitedly wanted to go towards the screen. The baby, who hadn't seen her mother for an afternoon, really wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms... If Naoki Nagayama didn't let her go, she would cry!

Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to hold little Xia Hua and sit in front of the TV screen, letting her reach out and feel the warm screen...

"Hua-chan, this is just a TV... Mom is in the house in the picture..."

"Ma-ma... Mom..."

Xia Hua, who is still young, can't tell the difference between the screen and reality, just stomping her feet and wanting to explore into the TV... After finding that she couldn't drill in, she turned to look at Naoki Nagayama,

"Ba... ba... ma-ma..."

"?"

Naoki Nagayama showed a look of surprise and looked at his daughter,

"Hua-chan, say it slowly... what did you call me?"

"Ba-ba..." little Xia Hua shouted anxiously again, and then reached out to the TV to signal, "Mom..."

"Ah... Hua-chan wants Dad to help find Mom, right?!"

Naoki Nagayama said happily. His daughter suddenly called him Dad, this is a big deal!

"Ba-ba... ma-ma..."

Little Xia Hua looked at her father, who was smiling, and felt anxious... Why is Dad giggling, I want to find Mom!

"Good, good, good... let's go find Mom!"

Naoki Nagayama was in a great mood and had no intention of stopping her, directly holding little Xia Hua and walking towards the garage,

"But we have to drive first... drive to find Mom..."

The butler Alfred, who was resting in the side room of the main entrance, heard the movement, opened the door and walked out:

"Naoki-san, what is this? Are you taking Hua-chan out?"

"Hai... we are going to pick up Mom from work!" Naoki Nagayama held little Xia Hua up, "Alfred... which car has a safety seat tied?"

"Toyota Century, it has been using this car since taking little Xia Hua out last time..."

Alfred brought Naoki Nagayama to the black Toyota Century. Now Naoki Nagayama most often uses the new Rolls-Royce Silver Spur. The convertible sports car is estimated to be used when the weather is a little hotter. Because the Toyota Century is wide and stable, it has become the common vehicle for little Xia Hua when she goes out...

"Good..."

Naoki Nagayama stuffed little Xia Hua into the safety seat, then started the car and headed towards TV Asahi...

"Hua-chan... we are going to give Mom a surprise today!"

"Ah... ah ah..."

Little Xia Hua also seemed very excited, stretching her hands and feet in the safety seat...
