Chapter 612
On the streets of Harajuku, there are young girls everywhere...
This is Naoki Nagayama's personal experience. Since four or five o'clock in the afternoon, fashionable, youthful, and beautiful girls have seemed to have made an appointment collectively, starting to create a landscape in Harajuku~
At this time, housewives should be preparing dinner at home, urban ladies might still be working overtime in cubicles, and rich and idle young ladies wouldn't come out to play at this time when the ultraviolet rays are strong but it's already late~
So most of them are high school juniors or college students who have just finished school and have nothing to do... Of course, they could also be unemployed youths~
Rockers, punks, Takenoko-zoku, Para-Para... all kinds of avant-garde and creative youth cultures converge here, and all kinds of people call friends and companions, creating an atmosphere of cultural hodgepodge.
This novel and interesting scene naturally attracted more people to come, making Harajuku more and more prosperous and thriving.
Among the five people drinking in the afternoon, Ito Zhenxing resigned first because he couldn't drink, and Genta Nakai went to send him off. The remaining three young people of similar age came to Harajuku together and started walking on the road~
"Naoki-san, if you buy a shop here, no matter what shop you open, you will make money!" Takao Ozaki was already a bit drunk.
Naoki Nagayama smiled: "Opening a shop is too troublesome! We should buy more land and wait for it to automatically appreciate."
"Isn't that too slow!" Takao Ozaki shook his head, "By the time the land price doubles, I will have opened five shops!"
Toshihiko Ono mocked from the side: "Haha, opening a shop might lose money, but buying land will definitely not fall!"
"Yes, yes~" Naoki Nagayama echoed.
The three walked along Omotesando to Jingu-dori. After visiting Takeshita-dori, they saw Naoki Nagayama's KTV. At this time, the sky had gradually begun to darken~
"Look, it's right there!" Naoki Nagayama pointed to the three small buildings at the street corner and said.
Toshihiko Ono raised his hand to look: "It looks like a bar!"
On the first floor of the three-story building, the retro-style bar counter design has an ambiguous atmosphere under the lights. The lobby is already full of waiting customers, and some people are singing with the karaoke equipment in the lobby, which really looks a bit like a bar.
"A bar is fine~ Let's go drink!"
Takao Ozaki seemed to be driven by the alcohol in his body. At this time, his face was flushed, and he pulled the two of them toward the brightly lit KTV opposite.
In the lobby, waiters were busy soothing customers, serving drinks, alcohol, etc...
"Naoki-san!" Foreman Zhehong Tian still keenly discovered his own boss.
"Kurita-kun, you are still on duty!" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "I brought two friends to play today. Help me open the smallest private room~"
"Hai!"
Zhehong Tian responded and immediately led the three toward the stairs.
Along the way, it caused a slight commotion among the waiting customers, but none of the three cared. The two rich second generations had already adapted to the class-distinct society of Japan. Born with a silver spoon in their mouths, the high-end clubs, associations, and restaurants they frequented daily were membership-based and open~
Having VIP treatment in a nightclub is just a small matter.
And Naoki Nagayama... this shop is his~
The small private room was decorated very luxuriously, and the karaoke machine with a screen was something the two rich second generations had never seen before, so they started singing with great interest...
After the two young ladies who were acting in the play sent the drinks, and the MV on the screen began to show cool young ladies, the private room was truly lively~
Takao Ozaki didn't know when he started to occupy the microphone and became a microphone hog... while Naoki Nagayama and Toshihiko Ono started chatting while drinking.
"Naoki-san, this guy Takao is very happy today! Ever since he was forced to come back, he hasn't been this happy for a long time!" Toshihiko Ono said while drinking a bottle of beer.
"Haha, in this kind of dim occasion, it's easy to relax~" Naoki Nagayama pointed to the slightly dim lights and said, "And there is alcohol~"
"Haha, and two cute young ladies!" Toshihiko Ono looked at the two PR ladies who were beating the rhythm for Takao and smiled.
"Haha, that's true~"
After Toshihiko Ono laughed for a while, his tone became a bit more serious:
"Naoki-san's KTV seems to be the first one in Tokyo!"
"Yes, it is~" Naoki Nagayama said, "But the second one should be open by the end of the month."
"The second one, where is it?"
"Roppongi!"
"Haha, it's a good place!" Toshihiko Ono nodded in agreement, "KTV will definitely blossom everywhere in the future!"
"Yes, I think so too!"
Listening to Toshihiko Ono rambling, Naoki Nagayama probably knew what he might want to say, so he echoed his words.
"Naoki-san, I wonder if I can also open a nightclub as interesting as KTV?" Toshihiko Ono finally said it.
"Shouyan-san~"
Naoki Nagayama looked at this rich second generation who was deeper than Takao Ozaki and recalled his family background.
Although the Ono clan of Toshihiko Ono is used a lot in Japan and is considered a commoner surname, in fact, this branch is one of the big surnames in the Asuka period and seems to be an imperial clan.
The most famous figure is the official history of the Tang Dynasty during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Ono no Imoko... that is the guy who wrote "The Son of Heaven in the land of the rising sun writes to the Son of Heaven in the land of the setting sun, hoping you are well"...
The Ono clan flourished for a short time and slowly declined after the Heian period, but it is still a family with a long history.
Although Toshihiko Ono's family currently has no prominent positions in politics, such as becoming a member of parliament or a minister, they still have many relationships in the government, and their family low-key operates a pharmaceutical company named Ono Pharmaceutical~
Naoki Nagayama calmed down:
"If Shouyan-san wants to open a KTV, there will definitely be no problem. The KTV model is very simple. Most people will understand this new type of nightclub after coming once."
Toshihiko Ono shook his head: "No, I don't mean that... I want to participate in Naoki-san's subsequent KTVs and open shops with Naoki-san."
Toshihiko Ono explained: "Although my family is still considered wealthy, I definitely can't take over the family's main pharmaceutical business... Besides not being interested in the pharmaceutical industry, I don't want to live under the wings of my parents and big brother for the rest of my life~"
This young rich second generation smiled:
"I like to play and I like fresh things, so I became interested in extreme sports, which is how I met Takao Ozaki... Today, Naoki's KTV made me feel very interesting. I think such nightclubs will definitely open all over Japan in the future... so I want to participate in such things~"
"I see~" Naoki Nagayama nodded to show he understood and showed a smile.
Sure enough, young people nowadays like to be rebellious~
However, with the expansion of KTV, it is inevitable that there will be competition, and there will be people who want to cooperate. It is also good to have such a partner with rich upper-class connections~
"Shouyan-san, regarding this point, I will introduce my cousin to you later! He will be opening all the KTVs in the future, and I will only open this one!"
"Naoki-san's cousin?"
"Hai, it's Kaede Nagayama!" Naoki Nagayama saw that he didn't seem to have heard of him, so he said, "He's the guy who played Serizawa Tamao in 'Crows Zero'!"
"Oh!!! Him, the overlord of Suzuran!" Toshihiko Ono exclaimed.
Sure enough, it's impossible for young people in Japan not to have seen the big hit "Crows Zero"! Toshihiko Ono suddenly became interested in the meeting later.
Just when the two were chatting happily, Takao Ozaki seemed to be tired of singing:
"Shouyan, Naoki-san, what are you doing! Let's sing together!"
"Hahaha, wasn't it you who kept holding the microphone and wouldn't let go just now!" Toshihiko Ono smiled and took the microphone, found the song he liked, and started singing.
In the restaurant of "Love Is Like Rain", the crew is filming in an orderly manner.
After many adjustments, Xiuyi Yin Tang finally thought of a good way. He used makeup tape to slightly change the size of Takao Zhuxie's eyes, changing from the original thick eyebrows and big eyes to ordinary size, which made the original coordinated facial features look less outstanding.
This time there is somewhat of a middle-aged uncle feeling! When sitting up and acting cool, there is also a slight greasy feeling!
Xiuyi Yin Tang silently gave himself a like.
Kaoru Kobirumaki, wearing a JK uniform, is still full of youthful spirit, but her flat expression is a bit of a three-no feeling. However, when she opens her eyes wide to look at people, she can indeed give others a little pressure.
This scene is about the girl coming to the restaurant to avoid the rain after her leg was injured and she was disappointed. The manager kindly gave her a cup of warm coffee, which allowed the manager and the girl to have their first contact.
"Zhuxie-san, when talking, put your hands in front of you, bend your back slightly, and put a smile on your face to make it more friendly." Xiuyi Yin Tang began to command after filming one side, "You are the manager of the restaurant, you can't stand up straight like a noble son and talk to people..."
"I understand!" Takao Zhuxie nodded and adjusted his posture, bowing slightly, becoming slightly worldly.
"And Kaoru-chan, don't be too tense, you can relax your upper body, or why don't you support your chin with your hands and look at the rain scene outside!"
"Hai!"
The rain outside is naturally made with water pipes! Do you really expect the sky to rain?
After coming two or three more times, Xiuyi Yin Tang finally shouted cut.
As time got late, the light was not so good, and today's filming was temporarily terminated.
Directly borrowing the restaurant's office, the crew's Xiuyi Yin Tang, Masataka Komori, and Xu Mudao began to organize the footage filmed today and then plan the content for tomorrow's filming.
"Zhengxiao-kun, are we a bit behind schedule?"
Xiuyi Yin Tang flipped through the shooting schedule and said. It was originally planned to be filmed in one month, but it has been almost two weeks now, and not even one-third of the progress has been filmed.
"It is indeed a bit behind, but it is also within the normal range." Masataka Komori said, "The beginning is a running-in period, and the filming will be faster and faster later."
"I hope so~"
"......." Xu Mudao didn't speak on the side. At the speed of Xiuyi-san NGing more than ten times in one shot, it might be difficult to complete on time!
And in June, other projects will also start one after another. Whether the crew will be understaffed will be a problem...
"By the way, Zhengxiao-kun." Xiuyi Yin Tang pointed to an item in the shooting schedule and said, "Have the gashapon dolls in this scene been received from the toy factory?"
"Ah, this unhappy guy..." Masataka Komori looked at the item in the shooting schedule and said, "There are already samples, they look ugly~"
"Haha, it is this kind of ugly and cute thing that young people will like. They just like this kind of rebellious style~"
Xiuyi Yin Tang said that they fictionalized a gashapon pendant that couples can use as a token in the script of "Love Is Like Rain", and specially found a toy factory to produce it. Maybe it will set off a trend after the movie is broadcast!
"Xiuyi-san, it's better not to have too much confidence..." Masataka Komori went to the props side and brought a pendant doll. His face was smelly, like the unhappy one in the dwarves.
"What's wrong, isn't it very interesting~" Xiuyi Yin Tang held it in his hand and smiled.
"......." Masataka Komori didn't want to speak, but thought about it, "Isn't Xiuyi-san going home? Why don't you give it to your daughter Jia Yi to try?"
"Jia Yi-chan~ Alright~"
Xiuyi Yin Tang nodded first, and then suddenly thought of something, his face turned a bit pale.
Ever since Naoki Nagayama borrowed his name to send six big gifts to his wife that day, Yi Tang Jia Wei has been very gentle these days...
Only one thing, she wants public grain every night, which makes Xiuyi Yin Tang, a middle-aged man, a bit unbearable... He doesn't want to go home at all!
Fortunately, it's not the terror of the first day!
"Xiuyi-san, are you okay?" Masataka Komori looked at Xiuyi Yin Tang's face and asked with concern.
"Ah, it's okay... I caught a slight cold."
Xiuyi Yin Tang brushed it off. There is no way, he still has to go back today, otherwise what should he do if he can't see his daughter Jia Yi-chan!
The Shanyingyuan in the middle of the night appeared quiet and dark. Although the Chiyoda area is one of the top central areas in Tokyo, there are not many shopping streets around Shanyingyuan, so there are very few pedestrians at night.
Coupled with the fact that there is a small park around, the popularity is even less~
Naoki Nagayama got off the taxi and walked to the iron gate of Shanyingyuan. Through the window, he had already found that the lights were on in the house~
Is this... Akina came over?
The movement of opening the front door caused Eitaro's investigation. After discovering that it was Naoki Nagayama, the dog ran over wagging its tail~
The smell of alcohol all over his body made the dog sneeze twice, but this silly dog still rubbed against its owner.
"Yoshi yoshi, Eitaro is a good boy~"
Naoki Nagayama walked into the house while touching the dog's head, "I'm back~"
At the entrance, a beautiful young girl in home clothes was standing, smiling at Naoki Nagayama:
"Welcome back~"
Perhaps because he drank alcohol, at this moment, Naoki Nagayama had already thought of what to name the second child they would have...
He stepped forward and gently hugged his girlfriend, smelling the fresh shampoo scent in her hair. It looked like his little girlfriend had already washed up~
Naoki Nagayama asked:
"When did Akina come? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"A schedule was suddenly canceled at night~ so I thought about giving Naoki-san a surprise~" Akina hugged Naoki Nagayama back, and the two swayed back and forth at the entrance like huggy bears, "Did Naoki-san go drinking?"
"Hmm, met two friends, so I played a bit late at the KTV~"
After letting go of his girlfriend in his arms, Naoki Nagayama knew that he must be full of alcohol, although he couldn't smell it himself.
"I'll go change my clothes~"
"Then shall I cook some hangover soup for you?" Akina rolled up her sleeves.
"Haha, no need, I haven't gotten drunk with this amount of alcohol!" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "Why don't Akina get two cans of beer, and we'll drink a little more together later~"
"Eh~~"
Looking at the back of her boyfriend going upstairs, Akina Mori tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked Eitaro beside her:
"Eitaro, drinking a little alcohol at night helps sleep, right!"
"Woof!"
"...... Then let's have a little!"
When Naoki Nagayama came downstairs after taking a shower, Naoki Nagayama found that there were already two side dishes for drinking on the table in the living room, and two cocktails that looked like they had been mixed...
"When did Akina learn to mix cocktails?" Naoki Nagayama sat down next to Akina.
"Learned it on a variety show before!" His little girlfriend was very proud. After appearing on so many strange programs, she really learned a bunch of messy things!
"So amazing..."
Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, under the ice cubes emitting cold air was soft-tasting whiskey, with some mint coolness. The bitterness of the wine was neutralized by the sweetness, but it made people feel refreshed.
"Very good!"
Naoki Nagayama never stinted on praise for his girlfriend, making Akina nestle into his arms happily. The two chatted about interesting things while drinking.
"Naoki-san, have you watched the latest issue of 'Twilight Meow Meow'?" Akina mentioned the program planned by her boyfriend.
"I haven't had time lately, what's wrong?"
"There is a contestant in the latest issue who seems to have caused a lot of controversy. That contestant said in an interview that she likes motorcycles very much... and said in the program that she is stupid..."
Akina Mori also didn't have time to watch "Twilight Meow Meow" at five o'clock in the afternoon. She only knew about this when listening to other staff chatting,
"So she was considered a contestant with a delinquent girl temperament."
When she debuted, many people also thought Akina was a delinquent big sister, so she cared a bit about this.
Why does it sound so familiar? Naoki Nagayama felt a bit strange in his heart: "Then what happened later, was this contestant eliminated?"
"No!" Akina said in a very surprised tone, "On the contrary, this contestant is very popular!"
"Eh?"
"She has been successfully selected into the Kitten Club!" Akina said.
Naoki Nagayama shook his head: "So young people nowadays like rebellious roles..."
"It should be that they like freedom!" Akina disagreed, "It's the courage to be able to express freely that they like!"
"That makes sense too~"
Naoki Nagayama pondered for a while, feeling more and more that the female idol was familiar, and then asked, "What was the name of that idol?"
"It seems to be called... Shizuka Kudo! She participated in the 17-year-old beautiful girl contest!"
"Eh?!!!"
Naoki Nagayama opened his eyes wide. Is it actually this idol who is famous in later generations?!
"Twilight Meow Meow" was born early, and she actually still entered the Kitten Club! Is this some inevitable correction?!
"Naoki-san, what's wrong with you?" Akina in his arms saw that Naoki Nagayama's face changed a bit strangely, "Have you heard of her?"
"Not really..." Naoki Nagayama shook his head, "It's just the fashion trend she represents."
He turned his head and looked at his girlfriend: "Akina... are there any particularly outstanding newcomers in the idol world recently?"
Akina Mori twisted her body, wrapped her shoulders with Naoki Nagayama's arm, and then put her legs on her boyfriend's legs, and then started to recall:
"This year, there is a newcomer who I think has a lot of potential!"
Akina continued: "She just debuted at the end of April and has received a lot of praise... She is from the same agency as Seiko-chan, and she is also very cute..."
"Oh?"
"Her stage name is Yukiko Okada, and the name is also very cute~" Akina said with a smile, "It sounds much better than the strange name Akina Mori~"
Another famous guy!
This Yukiko Okada, who is known as the idol successor after Akina Mori and Seiko Matsuda, eventually died young because she jumped off a building in a hospital for unknown reasons, and was remembered by people.
It's really sigh-worthy...
"Naoki-san? Have you heard this name?" Akina felt that her boyfriend's muscles stiffened.
Naoki Nagayama nodded: "Hmm, I've heard of it... I heard she is Akina's fan~ Didn't she sing Akina's debut song 'Slow Motion' in the finals of 'Star! Birth!'?"
"Hai, I haven't met her yet~ I must have a good chat when I meet her!"
"......"
This female idol is going to commit suicide in the future. Should I dispel Akina's idea?
