Chapter 250: Increasingly like stars secretly dating

Akina Nakamori's winning an award gave Naoki Nagayama a reason to continue waiting,

He didn't slip away, but returned to the table in the field.

Seeing Naoki Nagayama return to his seat, Otomo Yoshimura was very strange:

"Naoki-san, aren't you going to slip away? Why are you back again?"

Naoki Nagayama said righteously: "Otomo-san, don't talk nonsense. Even if we are good friends, I will sue you for slander if you say so! I clearly just went out to breathe some fresh air."

Otomo Yoshimura made an expression like seeing something dirty: "Naoki-san, can you speak properly......"

"Hahaha, tell the truth, you say right, Junko-chan~"

Naoki Nagayama also hoped to pull Junko Ito to the same front, but Junko Ito wouldn't jump into the trap foolishly at this time. One is the county magistrate and the other is the current manager, neither can be offended, so she could only cover her mouth and secretly laugh.

Akina Nakamori won the examiner's special award. Although it is not as good as the gold award and silver award, it is also a formal award in the music circle. Looking at the smile on her face, you know how happy she is.

However, there was no need to perform on stage this time. After Akina got the medal, she walked down directly. When passing by Naoki Nagayama's table, she even specially shook the medal in her hand at Naoki Nagayama.

"Actually so happy with such a small award."

Naoki Nagayama shook his head, and then heard Junko Ito's name on the stage again.

"What, actually won an award twice?"

Otomo Yoshimura said on the side: "This time it is the debut song *Puzzle*."

It turns out that different songs will win different awards~

The grand prize "Grand Prix" of this Ginza Music Festival was won by Johnny's Shibugakitai. Seeing these three people, Naoki Nagayama instantly thought of why the three of Shōnentai had no chance, it turned out that the same combination was blocking the way in front......

It's a pity. Naoki Nagayama is very optimistic about the three of Shōnentai, or, continue to find them to cooperate? Support Shōnentai?

Feels quite interesting~

After the award ceremony is the banquet afterwards, but before the banquet, there is a short winning singer media meeting, which is that the winning singers walk past from the front, and then the reporters ask them various questions.

The whole process is actually very fast and very cruel and realistic. The popular singers have constant questions, and the singers with no heat walk through the scene, and don't even have the opportunity to say "don't you have any scandals to ask me?".

Singers also seize the opportunity to promote their next plan, next song, etc. at the microphone. Junko Ito naturally went on stage, and because she and Akina Nakamori won awards one after another, the meeting order was actually arranged one after another.

"Miss Junko Ito, what are your thoughts on winning awards for both songs this time?"

"Hai, thank you very much for the opportunity given by the Ginza Music Festival this time, and also thank the judges for their praise......" These are all official polite words. Junko Ito doesn't even pant now, but next, "Also thank the creator of the two songs, Teacher Naoki Nagayama, thank him for letting me sing the two songs...."

"Are both songs created by Naoki Nagayama?" Actually, the reporter knows this answer, he just wants to say it from the singer's mouth, so that it is news.

"Hai, both are."

"Naoki Nagayama, is that the musician known as the 'lonely genius'?"

Some reporters asked further, which made Junko Ito unable to answer for a while. Is it a good title? She subconsciously looked at the direction of Naoki Nagayama in the crowd, and the sharp-eyed reporter immediately paid attention to it,

"Is Mr. Naoki Nagayama here today?"

Saying this, part of the camera shone towards Naoki Nagayama who was watching the excitement in the crowd, a burst of continuous shooting, continuous flashes made Naoki Nagayama unable to open his eyes.

Fortunately, he was not the interview object, the reporters didn't continue to ask, but asked about the next song,

"Miss Junko Ito, is the next song still created by Mr. Naoki Nagayama?"

Junko Ito, whose boss was frightened by the episode just now, is now a bit guilty: "Ah, no, the next song is *Snowy Night*, created by Mr. Keita Horita."

Unknown musician, the reporters lost interest at once. After Junko Ito went down, they started asking the next one, Akina Nakamori.

"Miss Akina Nakamori, I heard that *Shōjo A* has entered the top ten of the charts, what are your thoughts?"

"Ah, such results are unimaginable for me, it's like dreaming." It seems that when asked about thoughts, Akina says it's dreaming.....

"Then has the next new song been prepared?" Routine inquiry.

"Hai, the name of the next song is *Sedlove*, a song about love. It has already been recorded and will be online at the end of the month. I hope everyone will support it!"

"Well, *Sedlove* sounds very curious. May I ask which musician created it?" A reporter still routinely asked, and secretly praised it. It seems to be the media that has a good relationship with Burning.

Akina Nakamori was a bit panicked at this time. She saw the small disturbance caused by Naoki Nagayama in the backstage, but if she didn't say it, it seemed impossible: "Ah, the author of this song is Mr. Naoki Nagayama."

Eh? News is here!

! The reporters present all had this word in their minds,

The next song of Junko Ito in front is not, the next song of Akina Nakamori now is actually Naoki Nagayama's song, plus the name *Sedlove* which has ambiguity, the reporters with rich brain power have already written a bloody drama of annual change of heart in one second.

This time most of the cameras turned over, flashes continuous ka-ka-ka-ka, making Naoki Nagayama, who had just eased up, really become white in front of his eyes...... really clean.

How can those stars still open their eyes under the flash?

If it weren't for the fact that the interview object didn't include people off stage, those reporters would have run off stage immediately to grab Naoki Nagayama, and when they wanted to continue interviewing Akina Nakamori, they found that Akina Nakamori had run away, and the next winning singer had already gone on stage.

At this moment, Akina Nakamori was patting her chest backstage, feeling extremely nervous. She had actually dragged Naoki-san into this...

The interview wasn't over yet, so Naoki Nagayama hurriedly pulled Otomo Yoshimura and hid in a corner to avoid being sought out by reporters again. He even brought a stack of snacks for dinner.

"Haha, Naoki-san, you've suddenly become a news headline." Otomo Yoshimura bit into a cake and laughed uncharitably.

"How could it be such a coincidence..." Regarding such matters, he could only shake his head helplessly. "If there's nothing else, let's prepare to go back."

"If we go out now, there must be a bunch of paparazzi waiting to photograph stars."

It looked like they were stuck... Naoki Nagayama ate his snacks helplessly, so he could only wait until most of the artists had left before saying anything.

The dinner party went very smoothly. The organizers had prepared quite a lot of delicious food, which made the attendees quite satisfied. However, many popular artists, like Seiko Matsuda, left after making an appearance. They either had programs to attend next or had dinner appointments with the bosses behind the music festival. Such dinner appointments were, of course, unrelated to new idols.

However, during this process, because of a program invitation, Akina Nakamori started a live broadcast in the hall. After all, everyone present was in the entertainment industry, and hearing that it was a hit music show like "Best Ten," everyone could actually understand and gave up a little space one after another.

Akina Nakamori, who had won an award, was very happy. She couldn't help but smile during the interview, and then she started singing the hit "Shoujo A" in the hall.

Naoki Nagayama watched Akina singing freely in the crowded hall and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

To be able to be so steady even with such an impromptu performance, she was really amazing!

"Akina-chan, you sang very well~"

After the live broadcast ended, when Akina Nakamori was also picking up snacks at the dining table, Naoki Nagayama walked to her side.

"Ah, Naoki-san... Arigato!" Akina thanked him with a smile and then said embarrassedly, "I caused trouble for Naoki-san just now, didn't I?"

"... It's fine, it's just a scandal~" Naoki Nagayama didn't care at all. "It just happened to advertise the new song, hahaha~"

"And it saved an advertising fee, hahaha~" Akina Nakamori became happy again. The little girl was very happy tonight.

Thinking that Akina Nakamori was still sick, Naoki Nagayama asked, "Akina-chan, you said you were sick earlier, how do you feel now?"

"Although I want to say I'm fine... but after taking the medicine, I still feel a bit dizzy now. Although I didn't eat dinner, I have no appetite..." If she were facing her manager Yasushi Okawa, Akina would definitely say "daijoubu," but since Naoki-san asked, she felt as if her illness had become even heavier...

"A cold is like that... Akina-chan, is your throat inflamed?"

"It doesn't seem so, it was fine when I was singing..."

At this moment, Naoki Nagayama almost blurted out the comfort of "drink more hot water"...

Sigh, as a straight man, he could only think of this one idea for what to do at this time.

Watching Akina Nakamori stuff the cake into her mouth bit by bit, Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought in his heart:

"Akina-chan, you don't have to go to work tomorrow, do you?"

"Ah, yes, there is a schedule for tomorrow..." Akina Nakamori made a bitter little face. "I haven't rested for a long time..."

Can't she rest even when she's sick? Naoki Nagayama felt the bitterness of being an idol artist for the first time. Looking at Akina's profile, his heart was filled with pity:

"Akina-chan, don't push yourself too hard... It's okay to take a rest when you need to."

Hearing such comforting words and seeing Naoki Nagayama's warm eyes, Akina's nose felt sore, and she felt tears beginning to secrete in her eyes, almost crying.

She hurriedly turned her head, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and after tidying up, she said embarrassedly, "Sumimasen, the cold feels worse. Naoki-san should stay further away, otherwise, it will be contagious~"

The second half of the sentence turned into a strong joke.

However, Naoki Nagayama laughed at this time: "It's worse, that's good~ Then Akina-chan can openly ask for leave!"

"Eh?" There was some confusion and some entanglement on Akina's face. "But the agency has already set the schedule..."

"What kind of work is it?"

"Ah, it's the rehearsal for the Shinjuku Music Festival, and outdoor filming..."

"Turn it down!" Naoki Nagayama said firmly. "Akina-san doesn't need rehearsals for things like that. Just now, even in the crowd, Akina-chan sang a hundred times better than the people on stage; the outdoor filming can be rescheduled. If Akina is not in a good state, you won't be able to film good results anyway."

"But... that was set by the agency..."

"Daijoubu, turn it down. After all, it's because you're sick~" Naoki Nagayama continued to incite her. "Just tell the manager that you feel your illness has suddenly worsened..."

Such a bad student's approach made Akina Nakamori a bit hesitant, and since her debut, she had never asked for leave before.

Naoki Nagayama knew Akina Nakamori's future status in the agency; of course, there wouldn't be any issues with such a small matter. Those two tasks weren't actually very important work.

"Akina-chan, taking care of your body is also an essential element for achieving your dreams!"

One was that she was already psychologically weak because of the cold, and furthermore, there was a bad guy like Naoki Nagayama inciting her on the side. Akina Nakamori slowly developed the idea of asking for leave, and it became more and more firm.

Naoki Nagayama watched Akina walk to the side of her manager Yasushi Okawa, then explain that her illness had worsened and she was feeling weak all over. She even coughed twice in a pretentious manner, and he saw Yasushi Okawa look hurried as he went to make a phone call to rearrange the schedule.

After Akina walked over, there was still excitement on her face after lying...

"Naoki-san, it's all your fault!

!"

If you shift the blame to someone else, the guilt in your heart will be much less.

"Hai, hai, it's all the bad guy Naoki, who led Akina-sama astray~" Naoki Nagayama said playfully, making Akina laugh again. "Akina-chan, since you've told one lie, tell another one next~"

"Eh?"

"Tell the manager you want to go back early to rest... After you get home and the manager leaves, I'll take you to eat hot pot!"

"Eh?!

"If you have a cold, isn't it good to eat a hot pot?"

"But, aren't you not supposed to eat spicy food when you have a cold?"

Akina had actually started considering what to eat; she had no objections to lying at all. Lying, as expected, was something you get used to after doing it once or twice.

"There's non-spicy ones..."

"Ah... okay~" Akina Nakamori actually wasn't thinking about what to eat at this moment; instead, the fact that Naoki Nagayama was taking her to eat was more important.

After the two discussed it, the manager soon drove Akina back.

And Naoki Nagayama lingered for a while before saying goodbye to Otomo Yoshimura and Junko Ito. On the way to Akina Nakamori's apartment, he even pulled up the convertible top with practiced ease.

Why does it feel like a star secretly dating to avoid the paparazzi...

After arriving downstairs, he made a phone call to Akina from a public phone, and he saw Akina, who had changed into a different set of clothes, walk down, wearing a mask.

It's becoming more and more like a star secretly dating...
