Chapter 826: Lightning marriage?! We will definitely be happy!

"Love Generation," which made many office workers give up the habit of having a drink after work and go home early to watch TV, was already coming to an end~

At this time, many viewers couldn't help but complain about the screenwriter...... how could they write the plot so tortuously, the heroine was actually going on a blind date...... will this pair ever make up!

They clearly just wanted to watch the hero and heroine have a sweet romance, why is it so difficult?!

"This guy Naoki Nagayama must have suffered a lot in love!"

"But isn't he very unfaithful?"

"Yeah, think about it carefully, isn't Naoki Nagayama very similar to Teppei? Young and handsome, and still entangled with other girls...."

"Eh? Your perspective is very unique!"

"....."

Naoki Nagayama, who was being chatted about by everyone, didn't have the indecisiveness of Teppei in "Love Generation" at all. He had already met Akina's parents!

"Naoki-san, when do you plan to get married?"

In the abandoned factory in Ota Ward, Shuichi Ido came over to harass him again, especially curious after knowing he had met the parents over the weekend~

"How could it be so fast..... at least play for a year or two~" Naoki Nagayama said, "Akina and I are still so young, I don't hope for an early marriage...."

"Isn't it normal to get married at this age?" Shuichi Ido didn't understand. He was about ten years older than Naoki Nagayama, and people in that era did get married very early.

"Shuichi-san...... the times have changed!"

Seeing Naoki Nagayama looking at him like an old antique, Shuichi Ido felt offended..... He was in his thirties now, at the peak of his youth and strength, okay!

However, he was still suppressed by another question in his heart:

"Naoki-san, if you get married, what will you do? Will it be a century wedding like Momoe Yamaguchi's?"

When Momoe Yamaguchi got married, she invited big names in the industry, and the whole process was broadcast live by the media. The momentum was even comparable to the Red and White Song Festival....... The shock of it is still remembered by many people to this day.

"This..... I haven't thought about it specifically....."

Naoki Nagayama shook his head. If it were up to his own intentions, holding a wedding witnessed by relatives and friends would be enough.

But he was considered a big shot in the entertainment industry now, and Akina Nakamori was a top idol. It didn't seem appropriate if the wedding wasn't grand......

"If you ask me, you should book the Tokyo Prince Hotel, invite thousands of guests, and the officiant should also be very famous......"

Shuichi Ido was actually helping to imagine it on the side,

"You should also invite the hottest singers and artists to perform at the wedding banquet..... With the current status of Tree Friend, you can even invite first-line singers and foreign artists!"

"In the end, you should save all the scenes, then edit them into a movie, called 'Century Wedding Banquet'..... maybe it can even be released...."

"........ Why don't you call it 'The King's Feast'!"

Naoki Nagayama laughed. It was clearly something without a shadow yet, but Shuichi Ido described it so vividly. Maybe he also hoped for such a wedding when he was young~

However, since his own dream didn't come true at that time, he could entrust it to the next generation~

"Shuichi-san, keep working hard..... when Regarding Jia Yi-chan gets married in the future, just follow this standard~"

"......."

Hearing this, Shuichi Ido was stunned for a long time, then suddenly broke down and roared,

"Impossible! Regarding Jia Yi-chan will be a nun in the future! She will definitely not marry any other man, she will accompany her father for a lifetime!"

Naoki Nagayama was full of disgust:

"...... Get out of here, you daughter-slave!"

Then he walked toward the crew filming "Don't Stop the Camera!" and began to direct:

"Come, come..... let's try a human pyramid! This is a very difficult stunt in the movie! Especially the person at the bottom, you need to be a bit stronger!"

On the other hand, Akina Nakamori, having fulfilled a wish, threw herself into work again.......

"Meuamore" had topped the music charts for five weeks. Besides continuing to promote it, she also began preparing for the next song.

The next song was Egyptian style..... to carry the exotic style to the end~

They were having a discussion meeting for the new album in the conference room of Ken-On, where Yoshiaki Tanaka and Yuzo Shimada had basically decided on the style of the next album.

"Akina-chan, do you have any other ideas to add?"

Yoshiaki Tanaka asked. Now, Akina Nakamori's opinions were becoming more and more important for the production of the new album~

"Hmm...... there is no problem with this style." Akina Nakamori said, "However, for lyrics and composition, I think it's better to choose newcomers..... they are not bound by Enka and tradition, and are good at capturing the characteristics of exotic ethnic groups...."

"Hai, that's for sure...."

Yoshiaki Tanaka nodded. Akina Nakamori could indeed collide with unknown creators to create special sparks, just like in the "Girl A" period~

"Also..... since this time it's Middle Eastern, Egyptian, and Indian style....." Akina Nakamori looked at Yoshiaki Tanaka somewhat embarrassedly, "In terms of clothing, we also need to innovate a lot...... I don't have any good ideas for these styles yet...."

"? So?" Yoshiaki Tanaka had a bad premonition.

A cunning smile appeared on Akina Nakamori's exquisite cheeks:

"So...... a considerable part of the budget needs to be used for the purchase of clothing...."

"......?"

Yoshiaki Tanaka reflected on this and finally understood,

"Akina-chan means you want to go shopping, right!!!"

"Hai!" Akina Nakamori acted like a good girl, "To prepare for the photos and stage costumes later....."

Hearing this, Yoshiaki Tanaka fell into silence.......

Akina Nakamori was very extravagant with clothing. She would often go to boutiques to buy clothes in her daily life. When she needed inspiration, she would even wave her hand to buy out all the clothes in the store.....

Although the agency only reimbursed half of it, that was still a considerable expense! Not to mention that she also rented a warehouse to store these clothes.....

"Akina-chan..... can I know how many pieces you want to buy?"

"This..... as a reference, it's hard to say~" Akina Nakamori's eyes drifted in other directions, her small hands picking at her fingers, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"There must be a limit!" Yoshiaki Tanaka showed a pleading look, "Akina-chan, our budget is limited...."

"About..... 100 pieces?"

Akina Nakamori held up a finger.....

"......." Yoshiaki Tanaka wanted to refute, but finally thought of something and swallowed his words, "Then it's a deal.... 100 pieces at most!"

"Hai!"

Akina Nakamori nodded happily. There wasn't even any haggling; it was just too great!

The discussion meeting for the new album went smoothly like this, and the work direction for the next three months was set. Everyone could work hard!

However, just after Akina Nakamori left the conference room, she was called into the office by Akira Hanami.

"Chairman Hanami......" Akina Nakamori bowed slightly to greet him, "Did something happen that you asked me to come over?"

"No..... just a discussion about work...."

Akira Hanami was a bit helpless. Originally, this kind of work only needed the agency to decide, and the artist would definitely have to obey unconditionally. But now Akina Nakamori was also a shareholder of Ken-On, so this kind of thing needed to be discussed properly.

"Akina-chan...... it's time to start preparing for this year's national tour!"

"Ah, right, the national tour!" Akina Nakamori was a bit slow to react. A lot had happened during this time, and she had forgotten about these things.

"Yes, according to convention, the national tour starts in the summer..... from July to September." Akira Hanami said, "For this year, it was originally expected to be 19 cities again....."

If it were still at this frequency, it would still be almost one performance every two days...... Speaking of which, such high-intensity touring by Akina Nakamori was rare in the entertainment industry.....

"Hanami-san...... there are too many cities for the tour...... and the time is too tight...."

With Naoki Nagayama as her backing, Akina Nakamori now dared to say no to work content,

"Judging from last year's situation, the frequency of concerts was too fast, people were too tired, and the effect of the performances in the later cities dropped a lot......"

"Hmm, so what does Akina mean?"

Akira Hanami nodded. Originally, he just wanted to make the most money in the shortest time, so he shortened the time, increased the cities, and improved turnover efficiency....... He was completely squeezing Akina as a money-making machine......

Now it's different~

"We might be able to reduce some tours in small cities...... Actually, the venue effects there are very average, and the sound equipment is old and broken...." Akina Nakamori spoke eloquently, "Only tour in big cities...... and the interval between performances is best every three or four days....."

"In that case..... there will only be about a dozen cities for the tour...."

Akira Hanami had one more thing he didn't say: the money earned would be much less.

"Hmm, we want to leave the best performance effect for the fans!" Akina Nakamori said.

Akira Hanami thought for a while, still not wanting to break the harmonious relationship with Akina, and could only nod in agreement:

"Okay, I will arrange for people to plan the specific tour cities and routes, and then give them to Akina later....."

"Hai!"

Watching Akina Nakamori's departing back, Akira Hanami thought about how to increase revenue. Selling merchandise was inevitable..... what else? Choose larger venues and sell more tickets?

Right, he could also increase ticket prices!

And Akina, on this side, walked out of the office with light steps, feeling very happy......

Although because of her resilient mindset, she could withstand the busy work pressure, but if she could be more relaxed, who wouldn't want to work easily and earn money easily!

When walking in the corridor, she saw her little assistant Maki Ueda chatting with other colleagues, looking like she had heard some earth-shattering gossip, looking radiant....

Akina Nakamori was naturally curious and walked over:

"Nani nani? What happened?"

"What? Wedding announcement?"

When Otomo Yoshimura, sitting in the Tree Friend office, heard such news, he was also full of shock,

"Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda are actually getting married?!"

This news spread through the entertainment industry like a lightning bolt......

Sunny Agency had already notified the media in the industry that they were going to hold a wedding announcement for Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda. This matter was already a done deal.......

And such a sudden and shocking news naturally shocked everyone!

In January, Seiko Matsuda announced her breakup with Hiromi Go. In February, she officially announced she was dating Masaki Kanda. In March, she generously admitted her relationship at a concert. By early April, she was actually going to announce her marriage?!

So the time they were officially dating was only about a month!!!

Is this a lightning marriage?!

Everything seemed to have accelerated. Almost all the media in the entertainment industry gathered at the venue of the press conference prepared by the agency.

Countless cameras and microphones were set up in front of the gold folding screen, and there were several rows of reporters behind them.

The moment Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda appeared, the sound of shutters and flashes was like a machine gun~

Seiko Matsuda was wearing a kimono with a patterned base, her hair styled in a gentle bun, and she was wearing a pearl ring on her hand..... Masaki Kanda next to her was in a well-fitting suit......

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the reporters, the formal announcement began.

"After obtaining the consent of both parents, we have decided to get married officially......" Masaki Kanda announced the wedding news to the media, "The wedding date is in June....."

Seiko Matsuda also said affectionately on the side:

"For the rest of our lives, we will walk together....."

"Being able to meet such an excellent person, I am really happy, thank you very much....."

"......"

Both of their words were very concise, as if they had rehearsed countless times, clearly and explicitly stating the main content.

The sound of shutters became like background noise. Many reporters raised their hands to ask questions, but the agency had naturally made preparations and set up shills in advance.

The questions asked were all ordinary ones like "When did you meet the parents," "Where is the wedding location," and "What will you do about work."

Seiko Matsuda displayed her professional acting skills as an idol, reviewing the process of falling in love with Masaki Kanda.

"At the end of March, to be precise, the 26th." Seiko Matsuda looked at her fiancé next to her, revealing a smile, "Masaki went to the Kamachi family to propose...... When he was talking to my father, my mother and I were both very nervous, walking back and forth on the second floor....."

"When the two of them finally finished talking...... when they appeared together, it was like father and son~"

Masaki Kanda also added on the side:

"Father-in-law loves Seiko very much..... I promised him repeatedly in front of him that I would definitely give Seiko happiness, and only then did I finally move Father-in-law......"

"Seiko is a very excellent woman, and she will definitely be a virtuous wife. Our marriage will definitely be happy!"

As for what everyone was really concerned about, such as "Why a lightning marriage?", "Is it a shotgun wedding?", "Does Hiromi Go know?", "Were you already dating before breaking up with Hiromi Go?", not a single question was asked.

This is the benefit of having a powerful agency...... Throughout the entire wedding announcement, Hiromi Go's name didn't even appear once.....

And later, Seiko Matsuda even started promoting, saying that the final tour before the wedding, starting from the Budokan, was about to begin, and it would conclude with the final concert in Osaka before the wedding....... After that, the wedding would take place.

"I hope fans can support me as always......" Seiko Matsuda said, "We will definitely be happy!"

Seiko Matsuda is truly Seiko Matsuda; she didn't even let go of the wedding announcement for promotion!

This makes people think of the breakup press conference before, which was the release time for the new album, and this wedding announcement is the start time for the tour....... This is linking her emotional life with her career and utilizing it to the extreme!

This explosive news will continue to spread in Japan with the official appearance of reports, making all fans incomparably shocked....... ===== CHAPTER 827 =====
