Chapter 649

~14 min read 2,675 words

The Harajuku KTV had its front door tightly closed, and the curtains of the display window were also tightly drawn together.

At this time, the lobby had already started the official live broadcast of 'Music Station'.

The powerful sound waves erupted from the speakers next to the stage, shaking the lights above the stage to change colors continuously, making the vigorous dance moves of the three members of Shonentai even more psychedelic~

It caused the audience around the stage to excitedly beat the rhythm, cheering for this energetic popular boy band!

"Thanks to Shonentai for the wonderful opening dance!"

After one song, Tamori walked onto the stage with a microphone. After thanking Shonentai on the main stage, he turned to the camera,

"Good evening, viewers! Today, I will introduce to you the brand new music program of TV Asahi—'Music Station'!"

For the first live broadcast, it was naturally necessary to introduce it slightly. At the same time, the interaction time with guests during the period was compressed. Tamori introduced the ranking rules and the content of each segment of the program slightly, and then led with his hand:

"Minasan, do you see the location where I am?"

The camera lens gave face and turned to the other side of the stage, seeing the appearance of the KTV lobby... then turned back to the main stage, only hearing Tamori say:

"We are currently in a KTV in Harajuku! Many people have heard of KTV, right? In a while, we will follow the camera to various private rooms to see what the singers are doing!"

"However, first, let us go and see the interview with today's special guest... Akina Nakamori!"

The audience under the stage naturally gave face and started to boo~

Naoki Nagayama stood behind the camera, his face slightly solemn.

Although he knew that the program 'Music Station' would be a long-running music program for TV Asahi, he vaguely remembered that the effect of its debut was actually average.

Plus, Naoki Nagayama changed the location of the debut this time and brought it into the KTV...

Although the acceptance of this novel approach in this era is very high, many variety shows will even find very strange places, such as on Tokyo Tower, or Mount Fuji, hotel swimming pools, etc., but after all, KTV is still a new thing. Whether it can attract viewers on the TV screen is actually an unknown...

"Naoki-san!" The on-site director Motokatsu Okawa reminded. "Prepare to broadcast the preliminary interview!"

"Mm, it's over at the TV station's control room." Naoki Nagayama said. "We can see it here too, right?"

"Hi, there is a signal screen..." Motokatsu Okawa used a wireless walkie-talkie to keep in touch with the TV station, confirming that it had already started broadcasting.

Naoki Nagayama and Motokatsu Okawa watched the screen on the small TV next to them, which was the scene of Naoki Nagayama, Akina Nakamori, and Tamori going to Kiyose before.

Akina Nakamori, dressed casually, walked in the downtown area of Kiyose with Tamori, occasionally encountering familiar people and things. At this time, Akina Nakamori would introduce their relationship to everyone, while Tamori on the other side would stop the other party and ask slightly about their impression of Akina Nakamori, etc...

Not long ago~

High school student Aguri Kamiya, who lives in Omotesando, had just finished eating not long ago and occupied the TV in the living room... Anyway, his father had to socialize with colleagues and would come back very late, and his mother... um... was cleaning the kitchen...

He had been used to it since he was a child. Generally, this time belonged to his TV time... He wouldn't have been able to watch for long before having to finish his homework, but today is Friday~

"The golden time hasn't started yet..."

Aguri Kamiya changed channels at will, having just watched a comedy variety show... Originally, there were no TV dramas or other golden time programs at this time. When he was a child, he could watch cartoons on TV Tokyo, but now he has almost no interest...

When he changed to TV Asahi, it was exactly when 'Music Station' started broadcasting~

"Is it actually a new music program? Shonentai?" Aguri Kamiya stopped the remote control and became interested. "Isn't this Tamori-san?"

"So the ranking algorithm is different from other music programs~"

"Oh? Is it actually in a KTV in Harajuku? It's very close to here!"

Aguri Kamiya, who lives in Omotesando, is naturally no stranger to the KTV in Harajuku. KTV is not like those nightclubs or clubs with age restrictions. High school students can also go to sing!

He had already been there with classmates several times, and every time he sang very happily!

"Oh ho? An interview with Akina Nakamori?"

After the screen on TV Asahi switched to Akina Nakamori's interview in Kiyose, Aguri Kamiya became even more excited. At this time, most high school students knew the names of Akina Nakamori and other idols, and he was at the age of being obsessed with idols!

"So Akina's childhood school was similar to mine!" "She actually likes eating croquettes too~" "Was she often in poor health when she was a child?"

Looking at the impressions of others about Akina Nakamori in the program, Aguri Kamiya revealed a fanboy-like smile, and his eyes looking at Akina Nakamori on the screen became even gentler,

"So Akina-chan has loved to laugh since she was a child! She also laughs very happily at the camera..."

Aguri Kamiya felt that Akina Nakamori in the screen seemed to be always smiling at the direction of the camera, but her eyes were not aimed at the lens, as if she were looking at someone else...

"It seems like she is smiling at me~"

Suddenly, when the screen reached the next frame, Akina was already eating ice cream~

"Eh? Did she just run over? Is she holding an ice cream in her hand? Did someone hand it to her? Akina-chan is actually so happy eating an ice cream..."

Aguri Kamiya felt that Akina Nakamori's eyes in the screen were just like the eyes she looked at when he and his girlfriend went to the amusement park to play... Sure enough, this is Akina's boyfriend perspective!

This cameraman is very good at filming, give him a chicken leg!

After the interview video ended, the program screen of 'Music Station' turned back to the KTV. Tamori commanded on the main stage, followed the guidance of the assistant host, and the camera moved toward the private room on the second floor, finally stopping at the door of a private room.

Pushing open the door, Akina Nakamori, wearing a performance outfit, was holding a microphone inside!

"According to fan letters, Akina Nakamori must also be as domineering as 'Ten Commandments' when in love! Next, please enjoy—'Ten Commandments'!"

After the assistant host's introduction, the lights in the private room flickered continuously, and the music of 'Ten Commandments' came from the original karaoke machine... even the TV screen in the private room played the MV of 'Ten Commandments'.

"

How stupid

Gentleness is just an excuse for weakness

Give you some whipping

The kid is really anxious

"

The lyrics full of impact appeared extremely imposing under Akina Nakamori's interpretation, as if they were about to break through this open private room.

And Aguri Kamiya in front of the TV, while sighing at his idol's performance ability, felt some familiarity:

"That private room... seems to be the private room I went to sing in before!"

"Hahaha, Akina-chan used the same private room as me!"

Aguri Kamiya, who is a die-hard fan, was very happy, as if he were a little closer to his idol. However, a thought suddenly popped into his head, and the smile on his face suddenly froze:

"Chotto matte!!!"

He glanced at the "Live" logo on the screen... and suddenly realized a problem!

"Akina-chan! Right now! Is in Harajuku! That KTV!!!"

The Omotesando in Harajuku... is only less than ten minutes away from Harajuku!

Aguri Kamiya immediately stood up and called his good friend: "Nakatani!!! Akina-chan is in the KTV in Harajuku right now!!!"

"Eh?!!!" The voice on the phone was full of surprise.

"That KTV stopped business a week ago, just for a music program today!!! And many idols and stars are in that KTV! Let's go over quickly, maybe we can pick up Akina-chan after work!!!"

"Honto ni?!!!" The voice on the phone couldn't believe it. "Kamiya! This is no joking matter!"

"It definitely won't be wrong!"

"That's good, I believe you once! I'll go call Kasahara to come along too!"

"Mm, I'll go call Umeda too!" Aguri Kamiya's face was excited. "Speed must be fast, otherwise maybe we won't be able to see Akina-chan!!"

"Hi!!!"

There is more than one smart person... Without Naoki Nagayama knowing, fans of idols began to connect, and the crowd began to gather toward the KTV on the street corner of Harajuku.

Sakurada Gate.

A police officer walked hurriedly toward the office floor of the Fourth Investigation Division, walked straight into an office, and knocked on the door:

"Director Shirakawa!"

"Oh, Hirakawa~" Norito Shirakawa raised his eyes to look at his subordinate. "Coming over so anxiously, what happened?"

Hiroyuki Hirakawa lowered his voice: "Didn't Shirakawa-san want the police inspector to pay attention to that KTV in Harajuku before?! Now there is a special situation!"

"Oh? What situation?" Norito Shirakawa sat up straight and became interested.

Ever since the collision between the Yamaguchi-gumi in Shizuoka and the local Yamaguchi-gumi in Tokyo with the police station at the KTV in Harajuku, he had listed this place as a key monitoring area. The number of patrols and the frequency of patrols in that area were almost the same as Kabukicho in Tokyo.

He didn't believe that a yakuza boss who had been brooding over his superior for decades would simply want to open a nightclub.

"Many people are gathering toward the KTV!" Hiroyuki Hirakawa said. "The quantity is unknown, the identity is unknown, the organization is unknown... However, the police inspector on the scene estimates that there are over a hundred people, and everyone seems very excited!"

"Very excited? Did they take drugs?" Norito Shirakawa thought about the reason for the large-scale gathering. "What is that KTV doing recently?"

"Uh... it has been suspended recently, saying it's for renovation..."

"Hmph, they must be doing some illegal activities inside!" Norito Shirakawa stood up and put on his police cap. "Hirakawa, gather our available police officers, notify the riot squad... I want to go and see for myself!"

"Hi!"

And at this time in the Harajuku KTV, the live broadcast of the 'Music Station' program was still continuing in an orderly manner.

Tamori-san on the stage revealed the record ranking list arranged according to the latest algorithm, and invited the most popular singers to perform in the private room...

"Next, please welcome the singer who returned to the Japanese music scene this year and made people look at her with admiration—Teresa Teng!!"

Under the command of the on-site director Motokatsu Okawa, the main stage and the mobile cameras in the private room alternated, and the screen on the TV also switched from the main stage to the private room.

The assistant host took the microphone and interviewed Teresa slightly:

"Teresa must be very happy that the song 'Atonement' can achieve such excellent results now, right?"

Teresa had stayed in Japan for a long time and had already adapted very well to the culture here. At this time, she absolutely couldn't say her true feelings!

"Actually, when I knew this song was so popular, I was under a lot of pressure... The fans' support for me makes me have to give them more feedback... I can only try my best to make myself perform better..."

After a paragraph of dialogue that sounded emotional but actually had no nutrition, the host let the singer go:

"Hi, then let us listen to this song 'Atonement'"

The sound insulation of the KTV private room is very good, and when singing inside, the sound cannot be heard outside. The 'Music Station' team took the opportunity to communicate about the next song, adjust emotions, etc... The lobby buzzed slightly.

"Director Okawa, is everything normal at the moment?" Naoki Nagayama watched Motokatsu Okawa contact the TV station with a walkie-talkie and asked with some concern.

"Hi! There is absolutely no problem with the program." Motokatsu Okawa said. "However, the TV station is saying that they have already received many calls from fans, some are curious about the program... and many are asking for the address of this KTV..."

"Asking for the address of this KTV?" Naoki Nagayama also revealed a smile. "Hahaha, do they want to come and experience it?"

"..." Motokatsu Okawa glanced at Naoki Nagayama. "They want to come and meet their idols..."

"Meet idols? They are recording a program!"

Naoki Nagayama didn't take it seriously at first, but suddenly reacted... They are not in the heavily guarded TV station or a secret studio right now... but just in a KTV on the street corner of Harajuku!

Moreover, Harajuku only has this one KTV... and the program is live...

"Uh... when Tamori-san opened the show before, he said we were in a 'KTV in Harajuku', right?!" Naoki Nagayama looked at Motokatsu Okawa next to him.

"It should be!"

【There is a mole! Stop recording!】

Such words subconsciously appeared in Naoki Nagayama's mind... But fortunately, he controlled his mouth and then quickly turned to the display window, lifted the heavy curtain, and took a look outside...

"Yabai!!! The recording address has leaked!"

On the sidewalk across the street, there were already fans gathering in twos and threes. Looking into the distance, there were also figures slowly walking over...

After preparing for a long time, I didn't expect that there would be a situation where fans block the door!

Motokatsu Okawa leaned over to take a look: "It seems... there are more and more people..."

The more people there are, the tighter the blockage will be, and the more laborious it will be to break out... Just like an idol's concert. After Akina Nakamori held a concert before, she even had to put on makeup, change cars, and sneak away to avoid the entanglement of fans...

And this 'Music Station' invited more than one popular idol!!!

The gathering of many fans might even cause stampede accidents and traffic accidents...

Naoki Nagayama pressed his temples, thought for a few minutes quickly, and then pulled over the original head waiter Tetsuhiro Kurita:

"Kurita-kun, go make a phone call, call all the waiters who were originally on vacation, and then borrow cars from the car dealership and park them at the entrance of the KTV! Be ready to pick people up and leave at any time!"

"But... parking is not allowed on the road..." Tetsuhiro Kurita muttered.

"It doesn't matter, there will be a traffic jam here soon!" Naoki Nagayama said.

"Hi..." After Tetsuhiro Kurita understood, he immediately left from the back door.

Naoki Nagayama continued to find Takeharu Kawahara, who was docking with various agencies this time, and asked him to notify the managers of each idol that there might be a situation where fans block the door, so that they could prepare in advance.

It is best to change clothes and sneak away directly after the performance...

After that, Naoki Nagayama made a phone call to Otomo Yoshimura of Tree Friend, asking him to urgently find a group of security personnel to come and maintain order.

Although fans blocking the door is a bit troublesome, it is not a situation that will cause huge conflicts. If handled well, it can even be eliminated in the budding stage. So although Naoki Nagayama was a bit nervous, he hadn't reached the point of calling the police.

However, he still made a phone call to Feng Yongshan, asking him to send a few fierce-looking guys over. In case of any situation, they could be used to deter others.
