Chapter 812
Speaking of Minato Ward in Tokyo, it is actually somewhat similar to Hong Kong.
Although the place is not big, because it is a port, people from all over the world come and go, and even the architecture is full of a mixture of various foreign cultures.
Here you can see German churches, American bars, British old shops, French cakes, Italian coffee... Even Japanese people living in Minato Ward have better spoken English than in other regions.
Since Momoe Yamaguchi retired, she and her husband Tomokazu Miura chose to live in Minato Ward, perhaps thinking that in this more diverse culture and more inclusive atmosphere, she wouldn't attract too much attention as an outdated star~
But she miscalculated. Even after almost five years, outside the 80 Building in Takanawa, you can still see paparazzi taking pictures from time to time.
Wearing a low-key dark trench coat, with a black handbag slung over her shoulder, Momoe Yamaguchi, who had been married for five years, was still slim and slender. Her fair cheeks under her sunglasses looked delicate and moving, still showing the style of a top idol of the past~
The bag in her hand was full of ingredients purchased today. To avoid harassment by paparazzi, Momoe Yamaguchi didn't shop frequently, and would buy ingredients for about a week at a time.
"Beef, eggs, milk..."
Lowering her head to sort out today's shopping list, Momoe Yamaguchi also thought about going home early. Her and Tomokazu Miura's first child was only one year old and couldn't leave his mother for too long.
When walking up the slope, the Takanawa 80 Building was not far away. Momoe Yamaguchi quickened her pace, wanting to speed up her return home...
Those paparazzi were omnipotent and would find the right time to take pictures, such as when her child was getting vaccinated, Tomokazu Miura's and her own birthday celebrations, and various holidays when they needed to go out, but after all, they didn't squat every day, just occasionally.
"This is?"
I saw several small trucks suddenly parked at the back door of the building, and staff were moving furniture into the freight elevator.
"Has a new tenant moved in?"
Momoe Yamaguchi glanced curiously a few times, then walked in from the front door and saw the familiar security guard on duty, Kazushi Matsuzaki, before asking:
"Matsuzaki-san, has anyone moved?"
"Mrs. Miura is back~" Kazushi Matsuzaki smiled. Working in Momoe Yamaguchi's residence and being able to see the idol from time to time is simply too good, "It's the owner of the top floor, it seems they are no longer in Japan~"
"The top floor?" Momoe Yamaguchi thought for a while. The top floor is the most expensive room, it seems to be a foreigner who doesn't come here often, "Then who is the new tenant?"
"Ah, speaking of which, it's very surprising. I saw it in the tenant registration, it's Naoki Nagayama... and Akina Nakamori."
As a tower building with strict security, all tenants need to be registered, and even friends coming to parties need to notify the security office in advance, otherwise they won't be allowed in~
"Eh?!!!"
Upon hearing this news, Momoe Yamaguchi was naturally very surprised. As a former national idol, she naturally kept an eye on the entertainment industry.
Akina Nakamori is the hottest female idol at the moment, and Naoki Nagayama is also a well-known figure in the entertainment industry. How could two such people suddenly move to the Takanawa 80 Building?
"Mrs. Miura, do you know Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama?" Kazushi Matsuzaki asked curiously.
"Not familiar..."
Momoe Yamaguchi shook her head. She naturally knew them, they were all celebrities.
But they had never had any intersection. When Akina Nakamori debuted, Momoe Yamaguchi had already retired, and they had never met. Naoki Nagayama was the same~
But Momoe Yamaguchi suddenly thought that Naoki Nagayama was once her fan. Could it be because of her that he moved here?
This thought flashed by, and Momoe Yamaguchi shook her head, feeling that she was too narcissistic...
It had been five years, time had changed, how could Naoki Nagayama do such a thing because of his former idol.
Besides, he moved in with Akina Nakamori!
"However... there should be more paparazzi later..." Momoe Yamaguchi was a little worried. Daily life might be more troublesome in the future!
"When the child grows up, he can't stay at home all the time... He will have to go to kindergarten in the future... I have to communicate with Tomokazu-kun, it's time to prepare to find a new address!"
With this thought, Momoe Yamaguchi said goodbye to the guard and walked into the elevator home, worried.
Although she was a national idol, as a cash cow for the agency, the exploitation was naturally very serious.
The money that really fell into her hands could only maintain a decent life in Tokyo, and Tomokazu Miura's career plummeted after marrying her.
The current housing price is not too easy for the two of them~
Naoki Nagayama didn't tell anyone about moving, including Yoshimura Otomo and a group of acquaintances.
He moved partly because Shanying Yuan was going to be renovated, and partly because avoiding the limelight was to avoid these acquaintances... After all, after the news that Naoki Nagayama was the author of "Paradise Lost" was confirmed, the first people to look for him would be a group of acquaintances.
Clearly writing such an explosive novel, he didn't tell them, and pretended not to know anything when everyone was discussing it... It was simply playing with friends!!!
Can this still be tolerated? They must come to the door and ask for an explanation!
As for those media reporters and paparazzi, he didn't care... Not many people knew he lived in Shanying Yuan, and the paparazzi couldn't find his address.
Even if they found it, there were no neighbors around, and with the high and thick bamboo fence, they couldn't take any pictures or interview anything.
A detached house bought for more than 40 million back then, now it is estimated to be over 100 million~
"Just put the things in the living room~" Naoki Nagayama stood behind the door and directed the moving workers, "I'll organize it later!"
"Hai!" The moving worker in uniform nodded and agreed.
Watching the things that originally belonged to Shanying Yuan being moved into this apartment one by one, Naoki Nagayama was very emotional... The memories of the previous five years are all here!
Every move seems to be a new step in life~
"By the way, speaking of moving, it seems like everyone should give some gifts to neighbors... Naoki Nagayama touched his chin, "But I live on the top floor, and the elevator is not the same as the other household... It seems there is no need for this..."
There are only two households on the top floor, the space is very spacious, separated by a long fire passage and stairs in the middle, and the passage is closed all year round... And he is only transitioning here...
Naoki Nagayama shook his head, forget it, let's ignore it!
Then he started to arrange the new home... It is estimated that he will have to live in Shanying Yuan for another day tonight, and after tomorrow, he will move in completely~
Just when Naoki Nagayama was busy moving, Akina Nakamori was also busy at Burning Productions.
"Is the stage costume for tonight ready?" Akina Nakamori asked her assistant Maki Ueda, "Can't miss it during the live broadcast today!"
"Hai, three sets are ready, already in the trunk!" Maki Ueda nodded and replied.
"That's good~"
After Akina Nakamori was relieved, she looked at the script in her hand. This is the speech to be promoted during the live broadcast today... Although she has always been a bit resistant to selling things, the official sale of the new record still needs to increase sales!
Today is Friday, announcing the official sale tomorrow on "Music Station," and tomorrow she has to go to the offline fan club concert to encourage fans to buy...
"This weekend, there should be no way to rest~"
Akina Nakamori looked at the full schedule, sighed in the lounge, then looked up at the promotional brochures, various posters, and peripheral products on the table... took a deep breath and became full of confidence again:
"The first album after the new contract must achieve results!"
Just as she was secretly cheering herself up, the door was knocked, and Fusoku Meiko walked in:
"Akina-chan, we can go~"
"Hai!"
The evening of early spring, perhaps it gets dark earlier, without the long sunset and dusk of summer.
However, the sunset shone through the clouds and mist carrying water vapor, depicting a rose-red sunset in the dark blue background. The intoxicating colors in the sky seemed to be a sign of smooth promotion and a future of big album sales.
Akina Nakamori opened the car window, enjoying the spring breeze blowing on her face, but thought of her lover in her heart:
"Naoki-san... should be watching this scene at the new house now, right? Looking out from such a high floor-to-ceiling window, you should be able to see the scenery of the whole Tokyo~ It must be a very beautiful scene!"
Divider after one night
When it was dawn the next day, Naoki Nagayama was the only one who woke up in the bedroom of Shanying Yuan.
Before dawn, Akina Nakamori got up and left early.
On the first day of the official release of the new album, she had as many as 18 schedules, which could be said that she couldn't rest for a moment from morning to night... so naturally, there was no talk of helping to move.
After Naoki Nagayama went downstairs, he only saw Eitaro and Nyataro wandering in the living room, as if wondering why the house was much emptier.
"Today is the last meal you eat in Shanying Yuan, so I'll make it rich for you..."
Naoki Nagayama added a can for Eitaro, and added a lot of catnip to Nyataro's food. For cats, every move is not a small matter. He wants to make this orange cat relax today,
"After eating, you can go on the road with peace of mind!"
"Wang wang!" Eitaro was silly, just feeling that the extra meal was very happy.
And Nyataro on the other side seemed to feel an inexplicable malice, sniffing the breakfast with some vigilance... but it was useless, and couldn't resist the charm of catnip!
He also had a simple breakfast of coffee bread, etc. The ingredients in the refrigerator had been moved over, leaving only a little food this morning. After he finished eating, he started packing the last luggage~
"Ding dong~"
The gate of Shanying Yuan rang. Keiko Fujita brought Naoya Sakata and Kokai Ishida to the door. They were here to finally confirm the rendering of the reconstruction.
"Good morning~" Naoki Nagayama greeted them, "Kokai-chan, why did you come too?"
Kokai Ishida should be with Kaede Nagayama, right~
"When I returned to the design office before, I saw Senior Sakata designing the new blueprint for Shanying Yuan, and I couldn't help but pay attention~" Kokai Ishida smiled, "The KTV on Kaede's side has no new stores to design for the time being, so I want to participate in the renovation of Naoki-san's new home~"
Kokai Ishida is from an architectural design background and is naturally very interested in interesting architectural projects. What's more, Naoki Nagayama is a friend and a future relative, so naturally, she has to help a little.
She didn't participate in the special large projects like Naoki Nagayama's Shanying Yuan, Sanmei Residence, and Kyoto Garden, which felt a bit regrettable, so she came over for this renovation.
In fact, she also wanted to make a reference for her and Kaede Nagayama's residence... According to the progress, maybe they will get married next year~
"Is that so~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Kokai-chan~"
After walking into the house, Keiko Fujita saw the empty living room and was a little surprised:
"Naoki-san, have all the things been moved over?"
"Well, after communicating with you in the morning, I will take Eitaro and Nyataro over together, and then live in the new house completely!" Naoki Nagayama led several people to the dining room.
Sitting around the large dining table, spreading out the design blueprint, it was a European-style mansion divided into three parts, with marble as the facade... It looked a bit like the Old Furukawa Garden in Tokyo, but smaller~
The original two-story western-style building of Shanying Yuan became the protrusion on the left, while the three-story small building on the other side was cut by one floor, and the two were connected by a lower room in the middle...
"Naoki-san, the two-story small building of Shanying Yuan will be used as a special private or family space in the future~" Naoya Sakata introduced, "I moved the kitchen and dining room to the middle... The small building on that side will be used as a formal guest area, with a large living room and a bar, and the second floor will be an entertainment room and bedroom, etc..."
"The courtyard outside will be redesigned, the pond will be placed on the other side as the scenery of the living room... The cherry tree side won't change much..."
The entire rendering was basically based on the opinions of Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori last time, and even the landscape of the pond was added, but it was unexpected that the three-story small building on the other side was cut by one floor.
But it looks better to be symmetrical~
The one-story building connected in the middle has a bit of an arc, enclosing a piece of open space in the middle, and also designed a flower bed... as the main entrance and parking for friends' gatherings.
Daily parking needs to go around to the garage in the back~
With such a large space, plus the pond and courtyard landscape outside, it is naturally not maintained by Naoki Nagayama himself. A housekeeper team needs to be hired for daily maintenance. If you want to maintain privacy, just clean it once a week~
However, spending money is not a big deal for Naoki Nagayama now!
"The estimated construction period for reconstruction is three months~ It will be completed in the summer." Naoya Sakata chattered about the final construction period.
Naoki Nagayama nodded while looking at the rendering. The opinions raised before had been fully considered, and the design effect was also very good:
"Very good~ Let's build it like this~"
Naoki Nagayama didn't have much experience in architectural design, so whatever the designer said was what it was, but even in the future, this European style is loved by many people, and Naoki Nagayama is naturally no exception.
If you get tired of this style, you can buy other properties~
As for the interior decoration such as materials and furniture... wealthy people naturally won't haggle over every ounce, just use the most advanced and best ones~
At the end, Naoki Nagayama said to the two designers:
"Sakata-san, and Kokai-chan... The reconstruction of Shanying Yuan depends on you!"
"Hai, we will do our best to do the best!" Naoya Sakata bowed seriously and agreed. For the big financier of his design office, he will definitely pay attention, pay attention, and pay attention again!
"Naoki-san, rest assured and leave it to us!" Kokai Ishida also guaranteed this!
"Arigato~"
After confirming the final design, several people left to prepare. Reporting drawings, ordering building materials, gathering construction teams... There are a lot of things behind~
Naoki Nagayama looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock, so he put the prepared catnip ball into the air box:
"Come, Nyataro, come in and take the medicine! We are moving to a new house!"
"......"
