Chapter 52: The sudden encounter, it turns out she's an idol!
"Ano, Naoko-san seems to have misunderstood something; this isn't my experience..."
Naoki Nagayama explained dryly.
"Hai, I understand." Naoko Kawai's eyes were firm. "I definitely won't tell anyone."
What to do? He was misunderstood by a girl he just met, and he couldn't explain it. Looking for a solution, waiting online!
Naoki Nagayama looked at the girl in front of him, feeling a bit helpless.
Forget it, whatever.
"Naoki-san, after looking at them, I feel even more that these 3 songs are excellent!
The lyrics are actually almost finished."
Naoko Kawai praised these songs endlessly. "It's just a pity that these songs are all written from a male perspective.
Otherwise, I would really like to buy the copyright from Naoki-san and produce them as records~"
"Eh? Is Naoko-san in the record industry?"
"Do you really not recognize me?" Naoko Kawai was a bit disappointed. "I thought I was quite famous as an idol~"
"Now that you mention it... is Naoko-san a famous idol?" Naoki Nagayama observed her carefully.
Naoko Kawai also cooperated by revealing a smile.
"This smile...
You are Naoko Kawai!"
Naoki Nagayama finally recognized her.
To be honest, there were relatively few Japanese songstresses as famous as Nakamori Akina; who could remember most idols?
Can you connect ordinary people in life with idols on TV?
Everyone knows the world's highest peak is Mount Everest, but what about the second highest?
If you can even name the third highest without searching on Baidu...
Then I'll give you a "respect" mark!
"So Naoko-san is an idol!"
Naoko Kawai of this period had already begun to receive a certain amount of popularity, but overall, she was still a newcomer, so it was understandable that he didn't recognize her.
"Hai, I'm an idol who debuted last year, named Naoko Kawai. Please support me~"
"Haha, sorry, I didn't recognize you for a moment~"
One was a rising idol, the other was an obscure creator. After blowing away this layer of film, the two seemed to be more familiar with each other.
"By the way, does Naoko-san live here?"
"No, I just moved here two days ago. It's also a temporary stay; I have some work here."
"I see. I thought Naoko was a college student studying here."
"I also want to go to college~ I want to learn more about music!
I studied at the private Osaka Women's Academy before, but unfortunately, there was no college education, and I haven't had time to continue school after debuting~"
"As for college, you can go anytime~"
Naoki Nagayama suddenly thought that he currently seemed to be just a high school graduate; in his previous life, he was at least a college student, which was truly shameful.
However, if he were asked to bury his head in study for four or five years now just for a college diploma, he absolutely wouldn't do it!
"But come to think of it, college is just a place. If it's not for that certificate, then you can learn anywhere!"
Naoki Nagayama was going to study at home; live and learn!
Just as they were chatting happily, there was a sound of a doorbell at the door next door: "Naoko-san, are you there?"
"Oh no, it's the manager." Naoko Kawai was suddenly a bit flustered.
If the manager saw her in the house of a strange young handsome man, she would be scolded.
Naoki Nagayama was quite calm: "The manager is here; he must have something to find you for. Naoko-san, hurry back~"
Naoko Kawai also immediately stood up: "Thank you for the hospitality, Naoki-san, then I'll go back first!"
Then she hurriedly opened the door and went out.
He could still hear the manager asking why she came out from next door.
Meeting an idol in daily life, such a sudden encounter made Naoki Nagayama feel wonderful. It seems that heaven always likes to give you a surprise inadvertently.
He tidied up the manuscript of the songs.
These 3 songs, although they were also excellent songs, would be very difficult to become popular without the heat of a TV drama. Let's keep them as reserves for now.
Today's interest had also faded, so Naoki Nagayama prepared to go home.
When he went out, he didn't see Naoko Kawai again; perhaps she was discussing work with the manager.
It's fine not to say goodbye; the next encounter will be even more surprising~
He found a ramen shop on the road to solve his dinner and returned to the apartment in Waseda.
Compared to that piano room,
the sofa, TV, refrigerator, snacks, and drinks... this is the real home.
Naoki Nagayama turned on the TV, changing channels while thinking about when computers would come out; those famous online games are the real necessities for a shut-in.
Suddenly, an advertisement caught his eye; wasn't that Masahiko Kondo's white peach soda!
The entire advertisement lasted 2 minutes. Although Naoki Nagayama's scenes at the beginning were all cut out, to be honest, the story editing was still quite good, and the story line was very clear.
Although the acting of the male and female leads was a bit immature, it was quite in line with the high school student persona.
But how much recognition can you get by forcing white peach and youth love together?
Not to mention the soundtrack; there was only one word—ordinary.
Because it had something to do with the previous advertisement, Naoki Nagayama watched it patiently; he just didn't know if other viewers would buy it.
Advertisements like this are purely using the idol's fame to drive sales; everything depends on Masahiko Kondo's fans.
There were many programs on TV.
Although the plots of the late-night Showa TV dramas were a bit dog-blooded, they were still okay for killing time.
And he could also see the earliest version of *Ultraman*, which could be considered making up for the regrets of childhood.
But perhaps because he recalled 2 idol dramas in the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama's brain was too full, and he fell asleep very early.
The next morning,
the young man was energetic again.
The weather was getting hotter, and everything was in a gap period.
Naoki Nagayama decided to take a summer vacation like Otomo Yoshimura~
Of course, it was domestic travel in Japan; as for overseas travel, let's wait until the capital is more abundant.
He found a map of Japan and began to plan the route for a summer self-driving tour.
Unlike other office workers who only have short vacations of 1 or 2 days, Naoki Nagayama planned to spend a week on this self-driving tour.
This choice was quite sufficient, and there was enough time to enjoy the beautiful scenery~
Although Hokkaido is very suitable for self-driving tours at this time, his car couldn't be taken there, so let's put it aside for now and go skiing in winter.
Walking south along the coastline, he could also go back to his hometown in Shizuoka; after all, he hadn't been back for half a year.
Naoki Nagayama marked several cities and attractions he was interested in on the map: the Great Buddha of Kamakura, Hakone, Atami, the Izu Peninsula, Mount Fuji, Shizuoka, Nagoya... and then from the mountain road to Nagano, walking the Venus Line, and returning to Tokyo along the mountain road of Ogawa Town.
The entire journey was over a thousand kilometers, with mountains and seas.
It could really be called "crossing mountains and seas"~
Unlike the mature travel routes of later generations, Naoki Nagayama's plan was only a rough one.
He could adapt on the road; anyway, he wasn't in a hurry~ ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
