Chapter 827: Your man is dangerous! Keep a close eye on him!!!
Naoki Nagayama learned of this news in the evening.
Returning to the large flat, Naoki Nagayama listened to Akina chattering about the news she had heard. Her radiant expression made even her thin eyebrows seem to dance; it seemed every girl loved sharing gossip.
"It was announced suddenly, it's only been a month!" Akina Nakamori said while serving dinner, "It's really surprising!"
"They must have started dating last year..... although they hadn't officially broken up with Hiromi Go at that time....."
"I wonder if it's a shotgun wedding....."
Naoki Nagayama listened silently to his girlfriend's gossip. In fact, he was only slightly surprised in his heart; after all, he had known for a long time...... However, when a popular idol really announced a lightning marriage, it was still something to reflect on when it happened right in front of him.
Seiko Matsuda...... she really is a pioneer!
"Their planned wedding date is in June, right?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"Seems so....." Although the official news hadn't come out yet, the specific details had already spread.
"Akina will definitely be invited by then." Naoki Nagayama smiled at his girlfriend, "Maybe I'll be invited too...."
"Possible~"
This kind of situation is hard to say. Neither Akina nor Naoki Nagayama could be considered close friends of Seiko Matsuda or Masaki Kanda, and who gets invited or not in the entertainment industry mainly depends on the agency.
And what the agency looks at is whether this person will have an additive effect on the wedding~
They treat the wedding as a concert or a large-scale event. The exposure and topicality required are just like the century wedding of Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy in the future; it's used to earn money from sponsors and advertisers!
"Naoki-san should receive an invitation, after all, you have collaborated before~" Akina Nakamori said, "I might not necessarily be~"
"Why?"
"Seiko-chan probably doesn't want to be upstaged....."
Akina now has a good understanding of her own fame...... Although she and Seiko Matsuda are superficially called the two ceilings of female idols, in reality, Akina's topicality and popularity have already surpassed Seiko Matsuda's.
After all, one is a pure idol, with no potential for change visible, while the other is a versatile singer with well-known movie masterpieces. People can look forward to Akina Nakamori continuing to bring surprises.
And she is also very beautiful! This point is very important...... The bride definitely doesn't want to be upstaged!
"Akina is very confident in herself~" Naoki Nagayama winked, "But you are indeed very beautiful~"
"Hmph~"
Hearing this, Akina was even happier, and even Eitaro, who came over, got an extra piece of pork rib...... making Nyataro very envious.
After finishing dinner, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori went downstairs for a walk to digest, and walked the dog by the way~
After the crackdown on the Yakuza, there weren't many paparazzi left nearby, and today was the day Seiko Matsuda announced the shocking news, so almost all the media were attracted there.
Seiko Matsuda, Masaki Kanda, both sets of parents, agency staff...... anyone involved was within the hunting range of the paparazzi.
As long as they got a little bit of new news, they could become one of the hot topics and get a share of this big wave of traffic.
And the area around the Takanawa 80 Building became quiet~
The two walked slowly with the dog, chatting and laughing from time to time, just like ordinary lovers. When passing by the cherry blossoms in full bloom on the roadside, Akina suddenly thought of something:
"Naoki-san...... it seems that every cherry blossom season, you create a song related to cherry blossoms...."
"Eh? Is that so?" Naoki Nagayama didn't pay attention.
"Yes, starting with 'Sakura Sakura I Want to See You,' then 'Sakura-iro Mau Koro (When Cherry Blossoms Dance),' and 'Sakura'....."
Akina Nakamori counted Naoki Nagayama's cherry blossom songs over the years~
"Hmm, it doesn't seem like one every year~"
Naoki Nagayama said with a smile. This kind of memory is triggered by the scenery. Every time he sees cherry blossoms falling, he does occasionally think of new songs. After all, there are too many songs related to cherry blossoms in Japanese music.
"Then is there one this year?"
Akina Nakamori looked at her boyfriend with wide eyes. The other cherry blossom songs created before were all given to others to sing. Was there one for her this time?
"Uh....."
Too bad, he couldn't think of one for a moment,
"Akina, this kind of thing depends on inspiration...... without inspiration, I can't think of anything~"
"Oh~~~" His girlfriend looked very disappointed~
Naoki Nagayama quickly shifted his gaze, wanting to avoid this topic. When he saw the newsstand by the street, he quickly walked over and bought the evening paper for today.
Sure enough, the front-page headline was the news of Seiko Matsuda's wedding announcement!
"Akina, look~" Naoki Nagayama picked up the newspaper and pointed to the photo on the front page, "It's really reported~"
Akina Nakamori also leaned over: "It looks like it will start spreading tonight!"
"Yes, starting tomorrow, everyone will be discussing all of this!"
On the way back, the sky had completely darkened. The continuous streetlights and the lights in the residential windows kept the view bright. In a port area like Takanawa, the nearby commercial street was even more brightly lit and bustling with noise.......
It was just the time when nightlife was beginning!
Under the cover of night, Naoki Nagayama could also hold Akina's hand and stroll on the small path, enjoying the freshness of the night breeze blowing gently on his face~
"Naoki-san? Akina-chan?" Just at this moment, the two heard a somewhat low voice.
Turning their heads, it turned out to be Momoe Yamaguchi pushing a stroller, who was also walking back from outside.......
"Momoe-san..." Akina Nakamori walked to Momoe Yamaguchi's side with small steps, lowered her head with a grin to look at the stroller, "Taking Yutaro out for a walk?"
"Hai, just came back from the seaside...." Momoe Yamaguchi smiled.
Originally, because of the paparazzi, she wouldn't go out for a walk casually, but now that there were fewer paparazzi, she would occasionally take the baby out for a stroll...... After all, it wasn't right to keep the child cooped up at home all day.
Seeing Eitaro also wagging his tail and wanting to lean toward the stroller, Naoki Nagayama quickly pulled the dog leash:
"Eitaro, you'll scare the baby!"
Momoe Yamaguchi said it didn't matter: "Daijobu, Naoki-san..... Yutaro likes Eitaro very much..... Speaking of which, they are both Taro.... haha~"
When Naoki Nagayama wasn't at home, Momoe Yamaguchi seemed to have visited Akina Nakamori, and Yutaro must have seen the dog at that time~
Now seeing Eitaro, the little guy happily reached his hand out of the stroller, twisting and turning, wanting to touch the dog.
"As long as he's not scared~"
Naoki Nagayama was finally relieved~
After the group met, they walked slowly toward the 80 Building together, and naturally, they started talking about the big event that happened today.
Even though she had withdrawn from the entertainment industry, Momoe Yamaguchi still paid attention to such explosive news.
"It's really surprising to announce the marriage so quickly~"
Momoe Yamaguchi sighed. Thinking back to her dating Tomokazu Miura, it wasn't officially public until she retired. The entertainment industry now is much more relaxed about artists dating.
But even so, a lightning marriage in one month is too shocking.
"Yes, yes~" Akina's desire to share couldn't be suppressed, "I heard that a few weeks after the official announcement, he proposed in Hawaii, and then went directly to meet the parents....."
"Are young people nowadays dating so quickly?" Momoe Yamaguchi exclaimed, "In our generation, we had to date for at least a year~"
"Maybe Seiko-san just has that kind of personality of daring to love and hate!" Akina Nakamori said.
"No.... I actually think Seiko-san is self-abandoning!" Naoki Nagayama interjected, analyzing seriously, "I think she definitely had feelings for Hiromi Go, but had to break up at the last step of marriage. When she was emotionally very fragile, she happened to be filming a love scene...... life imitating art~"
"The handsome Masaki Kanda took advantage of the situation at this time...... mature and considerate, making Seiko Matsuda have the thought that it wouldn't be bad to spend a lifetime with this person....."
The two girls looked at Naoki Nagayama, who was talking eloquently, and felt that he indeed understood female psychology very well. Putting themselves in her shoes, if they were like Seiko Matsuda, maybe they would also be taken advantage of by some older, considerate handsome guy.
Naoki Nagayama, who understands female psychology so well..... wanting to break into someone's heart and take advantage of the situation, should also be very easy, right!
Then Momoe Yamaguchi gave a subtle look:
"Your Naoki Nagayama is dangerous!"
Akina Nakamori immediately understood and gave a look back:
"I know! So I have to keep a close eye on him!"
"Let's communicate properly when we get back!"
"Hmm, hmm!"
And at this time, Naoki Nagayama didn't see the eye contact between the two at all, and instead said very proudly:
"In summary, Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda's relationship is more of an impulse than anything else...... When the passion fades, the two of them will definitely have conflicts, but they will maintain the marriage for various reasons....."
After all, even for Seiko Matsuda, if she divorces shortly after a lightning marriage in this era, she will also be labeled as frivolous, neglectful of the family, etc., and be resisted by fans.
And Masaki Kanda, who is less famous and older, needs to rely on Seiko Matsuda's fame even more~
"Naoki-san makes sense...." Akina Nakamori nodded in agreement, then turned to Momoe Yamaguchi and said, "Momoe-san, Yutaro seems a bit bored, let's go back quickly!"
"Hmm, okay....." Momoe Yamaguchi nodded, "Akina-chan, do you want to come over to my house after you go back? I made some desserts tonight....."
"Okay, okay~"
Saying this, the two women walked toward the 80 Building with laughter, leaving Naoki Nagayama and Eitaro shivering in the night breeze......
"Eitaro, I feel like I've been abandoned...... what do you think?"
"Woof woof! (Indeed! No need to feel it!)"
After returning to the large flat, Akina Nakamori indeed went with Momoe Yamaguchi, and even took Eitaro with her, leaving Naoki Nagayama alone in the huge room~
Nyataro wouldn't come to comfort him, so Naoki Nagayama could only pour himself a glass of wine, tasting the bitterness~
Looking down from the floor-to-ceiling window, the scattered lights flickered in the night, setting off the hazy outline of steel and concrete. The brightly lit commercial street and the highway where light flowed connected the nightlife of the urban area. The colorful neon lights emitted halos of various colors, like colorful bubbles, making the whole sleepless city permeate with an unreal atmosphere~
Every time he saw the dreamlike scenery outside the glass window, Naoki Nagayama felt emotional. He sat down at the piano and played a moving melody.....
"On the Night When Fireworks Flicker," "Sudden Love," "Want to Shout Out I Love You".....
Familiar notes echoed in the room, but when playing "Sakura-iro Mau Koro (When Cherry Blossoms Dance)," Naoki Nagayama suddenly remembered what Akina Nakamori had said before, one cherry blossom song every year.....
But now, that pink-white cherry blossom tree at Shan Ying Yuan was no longer in front of him. He used to always see it falling into the study from the window on the second floor~
In an instant, Naoki Nagayama seemed to hear that cherry blossom tree singing softly....
"
The season of white cherry blossoms (The season of white cherry blossoms)
Only exists in distant dreams (Only exists in distant dreams)
The whisper of falling petals (The whisper of falling petals)
Unforgettable words (Unforgettable words)
"
Gradually, the notes seemed to have some changes....
Even though it was night, the newspapers and magazines in the entertainment industry didn't rest.
Speed is traffic, is money, is everything!
When such explosive news spread, the paparazzi's photos, the reporters' interviews, the editors' headlines..... and the layout, printing, and publicity...... the whole process was like a compressed spring, storing energy and waiting to explode.
"The first wave of evening papers has already been sent out....... There are various news programs to be aired tonight." Tokyo Sports editor-in-chief Junichi Imamura said in the editorial department, "The real explosion will be tomorrow morning!"
You can only enjoy it alone at night, and you will communicate with others the next day..... that is the key period for fission.
"Hai, we have already received first-hand news from the agency, and we went to Seiko Matsuda's old home and Masaki Kanda's old home in the afternoon."
Gold-medal reporter Yu Kosaka had bloodshot eyes, but his spirit was very excited,
"We also went to Hiromi Go's agency, but we didn't wait for Hiromi Go...... No one answered when we interviewed his home either....."
"Very normal, he must avoid suspicion at this time." Editor-in-chief Junichi Imamura nodded, "But he underestimates reporters too much. Even if he doesn't reply, it's news!"
"In the article, just say Hiromi Go has complex feelings and doesn't accept the newspaper's interview...... but reveals that even with full regret, he still wishes Seiko Matsuda well!"
"But.... Hiromi Go didn't say that?!" Gold-medal reporter Yu Kosaka was surprised.
"Heh? We wrote it like this, does he dare to deny it?!" Junichi Imamura said disdainfully, "Does he want to become a jealous villain?!"
"......."
Yu Kosaka was full of surprise, exclaiming that he learned another trick! The editor-in-chief really has a way!
Immediately after, he heard the editor-in-chief's request......
"Wait a minute, add Momoe Yamaguchi's marriage process as well, and drag Akina Nakamori in too...."
"Three top idols, who will be the next to announce marriage?"
"That must be Akina Nakamori, right?"
"Who cares who it is, we just need to stir up the audience's emotions!" Junichi Imamura said, hating that iron wouldn't become steel, "We are not reporting facts, we want exposure!"
"Hai!"
"In the coming period, Seiko Matsuda's news will definitely be all over the sky. TV, newspapers, and magazines will all scramble to report this point..... But if we want to stand out, we can't just focus on them themselves!"
"Hai!"
"Listen, starting tomorrow, interviews with other celebrities must include this topic, and there are behind-the-scenes agents, ordinary fans, industry insiders, etc...... make a special feature!"
"Hai!"
Similar conversations were staged at different newspaper headquarters. Everyone wanted to seize the most important hot spot and wanted to make their own newspaper shine in this series of hot headlines. ===== CHAPTER 828 =====
