Tokyo Bubble Life

Generally speaking, Naoki Nagayama always pays for himself when he goes out to eat, except when the purpose is just to get a meal.

 For example, going out for a big meal with Yoshimura Otomo and Itou Shuichi, Yoshimura Otomo paid for it.

 There is no other reason, because Yoshimura Otomo looks extremely smart (Mediterranean) and has high moral standing (the oldest), so most of the time he is the richest one by default.

Yoshimura Otomo silently took out his wallet and started to pay the bill, while Naoki Nagayama patted his stomach and said:

 “Thank you, Otomo-san, for your hospitality today! I haven’t had such a good meal in a long time!”

On the other side, Yi Tang Shuichi was drinking a cup of hot tea, closing his eyes as if he was still reminiscing about today's seafood dinner.

“Ah Wallet-kun, Wallet-kun. Seeing you losing weight day by day, I feel very sad!” Fangcun Otomo seems to have been with young people for a long time. He has a very young mentality and talks in the same way.

Nagayama Naoki was speechless, "Otomo-san, your wallet is empty, isn't it because you spent it all on the girls in the club?"

Hearing this, Fangcun Dayou's expression changed and he immediately became serious: "Naoki-san, don't spread rumors, I never go to that kind of place!"

ˆ “.”

These words made Naoki Nagayama roll his eyes. Did he go to Kobe with a ghost before? !

Itou Shuichi put down his tea cup and explained to Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san, you don't know. Otomo-san might have gone before, but now I don't know what happened. Since I came back from Kobe, I have been going home every night. I feel haggard the next day, so I avoid going to the club. "

oh? Are you forced to pay public food?

Nagayama Naoki originally wanted to continue asking, but when he saw Yoshimura Otomo's face darkening, he wisely gave up.

 Alas, middle-aged people have no choice but to do so!

Hearing that the bad friend on the other side was talking more and more, it became more and more serious. Yoshimura Otomo showed the dignity of an older man and forcibly changed the topic:

 “Zhi Shusang, do you still want to be in the studio this afternoon?”

"Didn't I draw a sketch in the morning? I happened to take Kijima-kun to the shooting locations in Tokyo in the afternoon," Naoki Nagayama said. "Now that Kijima-kun is my executive director, he also has to do the location shooting and other work. Take it up."

“Kijima-kun.” After many reminders during this period, the other two people had a deep impression of Kijima Xu, “Can he deal with outsiders?”

 “You always have to try~” Naoki Nagayama shrugged.

 In fact, he feels that Kyū Kijima’s sense of presence is low. On the one hand, it is because he is indeed a bit special. He must be born with a popular face that is not attractive to people. On the other hand, it is also because of his own personality.

If he is a social cow, no matter what happens, no one will pay attention to him.

This seafood restaurant is not far from the studio. Nagayama Naoki and others chatted and ate, and slowly returned to the studio.

Nagayama Naoki went directly to the photography team area, and sure enough he saw Kijima Kyun, packing photography equipment alone.

“Kijima-kun, why are you alone?” Nagayama Naoki asked curiously, “Where are your younger brothers Sakata Koaki and Obara Miguel?”

 “Ezhi Shusang, we are colleagues. They are not my younger brothers”

Kijima Xu explained awkwardly, and then continued, "Today they went to TV Asahi."

“Didn’t we arrange for them to help with the filming of “Musicstation” before?”

 “Ah, you’re right.”

 Naoki Nagayama nodded. The second issue of "Musicstation" was aired last Friday, but it was grabbed the headlines by Akina Nakamori's birthday celebration, making it not as prominent as the first issue.

However, the guest in the second episode was Seiko Matsuda, a competitor of Akina Nakamori, so at least it was a bit of a hot topic, and the ratings were also very good.

“This is the third episode. They are going to shoot the hometown of Xicheng Hideki, right?” After the female idols, naturally the male idols will be the guests.

“Hi!” Kijima Xu nodded, “The two of them also brought new employees with them to train them to be their successors.”

 “Haha, you’re still very smart~”

 They can still distinguish the pros and cons of being a recorder of a program or being a member of Naoki Nagayama’s film shooting team.

Nagayama Naoki patted Kijima Kyon’s shoulder:

“Kijima-kun, in the afternoon, come with me to take a look at the filming locations of “Kikujiro’s Summer”. Some places still need to be rented and adjusted.”

"Hi!"

 Tokyo, Taito District, Asakusa area.

Taito District is the ancient area with the most "Edo legacy" in neon, with countless shrines, temples, museums and other places of interest.

“There are so many filming locations in Tokyo! Not only our movies, but also other movies can find corresponding locations in Tokyo.”

“Hey, after all, this is a big city with the best neon lights.” Kijima Kyor looked around at the buildings with Yamato cultural characteristics and nodded in agreement.

Nagayama Naoki and Kijima Kyon came to the "Asakusa Tongri Shopping Street" together. Perhaps standing next to Kijima Kyon, Nagayama Naoki felt that his sense of presence was also reduced. The pedestrians who passed by looked at him. There are also fewer eyes.

 It seems that Kijima Kyor has another new usage.

“Kijima-kun, this is the starting point of the movie!” Naoki Nagayama pointed at the 180-meter-long arcade shopping street in front of him and said, “I want the protagonist Masao to be remembered by the audience from here!”

 Kijima Kyū looked at the simple sketch storyboard in his hand, then looked up at the shopping street in front of him and nodded:

 “Very much like local life”

 The two of them were walking through the shopping street while discussing the shooting method.

“Kijima-kun, you have read the script. If we are here, we expect there will be a lot of shots, so there must be seats on both sides of the intersection.”

“In some places, slide rails must be laid or carts must be mounted directly. Let the camera follow the actors and take close-ups.”

"Hi!"

Unknowingly, I walked to the Nitenmon Gate of Sensoji Temple. This is the east gate of Sensoji Temple. Although it is not as famous as the Kaminarimon gate at the main gate, it is still full of history.

“Let’s separate here.” Nagayama Naoki made a camera gesture, looked at the side door in the frame and nodded.

 “Separate?” Kijima Xu was confused.

   “Hmm~”     As he deeply recalled "The Summer of Kikujiro", Nagayama Naoki's mind was already filled with images from the movie, and it seemed that even the song "Summer" was echoing.

After striding through the Nakamise Shopping Street in Sensoji Temple and exiting the Kaminarimon Gate, Naoki Nagayama and Kyū Kijima walked to the vicinity of Sumida River Park, all the way to Azuma Bridge on the Sumida River.

Since the "Sakura Bridge" used in the movie has not been built yet, and there is not even a Skytree, we can only find this substitute.

 “Here. First meeting.”

Nagayama Naoki looked at the open scenery on the river, and the light water vapor was carried by the wind, blowing on his face very comfortably. He turned around and looked around. Not far away was Akina Nakamori's apartment.

 “Maybe Akina will be able to discover it when the movie comes out~”

"Naoki-san, what did you say?" The wind on the bridge was a bit strong, making the low-pitched words a little unclear. Kijima Kyun asked beside him.

 “Ah, it’s nothing, let’s go to the river bank”

 “Uh hi!”

 Kijima Kyor didn’t ask any more questions, but just remembered another location in his notebook. He decided that before shooting, he would bring the script and his two younger brothers to check it out and thoroughly understand what needed to be shot. This is a responsible executive director!

This afternoon, Nagayama Naoki and Kijima Kyor walked around the Taito District of Tokyo until very late, and basically looked at all the filming locations that were going to appear.

 “Kijima-kun, that’s it for today~”

Looking at the setting sun, which was about to reach the moment of encountering the devil, Nagayama Naoki said to Kijima Kyor.

“Our subsequent filming locations include a large area in Shizuoka and also in Kanagawa, but that will happen later~”

 “Hi! I got it!”

“Also, there is a scene about a seaside resort hotel, and we need to find a high-end hotel.”

 “Hi, I’ll be in touch!”

After chattering for a few words, Nagayama Naoki drove away coolly, leaving the miserable Kijima Kyor to take the subway home.

As an ordinary photographer, although my salary has increased a lot in the past two years, I still spend a lot on my own lenses. In a high-consumption city like Tokyo, I still need to save some money.

　　When we returned to Yamasakura-yuan, the golden sunlight was shining slantingly on the two-story small foreign-style building, as if it had coated the brown roof with a layer of gold paint.

The upper half of Yamazakura Garden is very bright, but the lower half looks dim. Thick bamboo leaves cover up the scene of the courtyard. Only the corners of some eaves and the lush tops of the cherry trees inside are visible.

 “Yutaro, I’m back!”

After driving into the garage, Nagayama Naoki stretched out his claws towards the dog running over, happily stroking the dog's head which was getting bigger and bigger.

“Are you good at home today?! Did you demolish the house? If I find traces of demolishing the house, your canned goods will be gone tonight!”

Like a primary school student who is asked by his parents if he has finished his homework as soon as he returns home, Taro's originally thick and windmill-like tail visibly slowed down to the naked eye.

However, Nagayama Naoki walked into the house happily, and even Nyotarou who was passing by was stopped by him and masturbated. This was not only because he was happy to be back home, but also because he could see Akina at night. I don’t know what time it will be tonight.

 It’s very common for flights to be late these days~

　　After walking around Tokyo in the afternoon, the seafood for lunch was already digested. Naoki Nagayama touched his hungry belly and decided to make something delicious tonight.

  Turning on the record player and randomly choosing a blues record as background music, Naoki Nagayama came to the kitchen.

 He ​​opened the refrigerator and found fresh beef brisket and bright red tomatoes, and decided to stew an appetizing and delicious tomato beef brisket. Then there were also dried salted chicken and freshly fried seasonal vegetables.

These dishes require a lot of processes. After preparing the dishes, Naoki Nagayama put on his apron and started processing the ingredients.

 Wash, cut into cubes, and pickle. The procedures seemed to come naturally to him. Nagayama Naoki moved skillfully. He had been helping in izakayas since he was a child, and he had been working alone in his previous life to treat himself. His cooking was comparable to that of a professional chef.

Just as Nagayama Naoki stewed the tomato beef brisket on low heat and stewed the air-dried salted chicken, Yotaro, who was lying in the restaurant, seemed to suddenly notice something. His ears twitched and he suddenly came out of the yard. go out.

 But Nagayama Naoki here didn't notice at all, and instead started washing vegetables again. The sound of rushing water, the rolling sound of gurgling, coupled with the music of the record player, it was strange and harmonious~

Just as Nagayama Naoki was concentrating on washing vegetables, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening and closing. He thought it was Yutaro:

“Yantaro, don’t play with the door. Be careful that I won’t give you extra food!”

 “Naoki-san!” A voice of suppressed joy came from behind.

Nagayama Naoki turned around in surprise and saw his girlfriend. She was wearing a slightly oversized sleeveless T-shirt and sweatpants. Her waves were combed into a high ponytail, revealing her slender white neck and delicate face. He smiled and looked at himself with crooked eyes.

“Akina?! Why are you back now?” Nagayama Naoki quickly turned off the faucet, put down the vegetables in his hands, and walked towards his girlfriend.

“It was supposed to be the next flight, but I didn’t want to have a celebration banquet in Hokkaido, so I took an early flight!” Akina Nakamori put her handbag on the table and wanted to throw herself into her boyfriend’s arms.

 “Eh, I’m wearing an apron, Akizumi-sack~” Naoki Nagayama held Akina’s shoulders.

　　　"Stupid tape, I don't dislike Zhi Shusang"

Nakamori Akina didn't stop, she rushed in, then put her arms around Nagayama Naoki's neck and kissed her.

 A faint fragrance lingers in your nose. Have you sprayed perfume?

The thoughts in his head flashed away. Naoki Nagayama put his hands around the slim waist of the delicate body in his arms, felt the soft lips, and responded enthusiastically.

 Young men and women are like a bundle of dry firewood, a spark may catch fire.

Nagayama Naoki felt as if the body in his arms was on fire. He couldn't help but want to use his cold hands that had just been soaked in water to cool down a little. Unknowingly, his hands reached into the loose T-shirt and touched the exposed skin, but the warmth in his arms was... Taken to the next level.

My breathing gradually became faster and even became difficult to breathe. Then I separated and my lips became a little swollen.

 The big breath blows on the face, itching.

Akina's face was already flushed, and the water in her eyes seemed to overflow.

 “Naoki-san~I miss you so much~”

　　The longing that had been accumulated since the day of my birthday burst out completely at this moment, and the sweet tone was like pouring a bucket of gasoline on the small fire that was originally burning, making the fire completely uncontrollable.

Nagayama Naoki kissed her back hard, then hugged his girlfriend and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor~

 What else do you have to do in the kitchen at this time? dinner?

 Of course you have to eat the vegetables first! !

Yantaro, who secretly opened the door and took Ming Cai in, originally thought that he would be able to get praise and comfort from the host, or at least add an extra spoonful of beef to his dinner.

But as soon as the hostess came in, she hugged the master and ran up to the bedroom on the second floor.

When it wanted to follow in, the owner kicked it out and then closed the bedroom door.

Shortly afterwards, I heard a strange and rhythmic sound coming from the bedroom.

Yantaro barked several times angrily, but received no response, so he had no choice but to run back to the restaurant.

In the soup pot on the stove, the soup was sloshing and tumbling. He smelled the aroma of meat gradually coming out, and Taro Taro was worried about the next dinner.

 Could the master come down before the water boils dry? If there is a burning smell, do you want to warn me?

It’s really annoying~
