Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 340 Nervous or not (8000 words)
If you want to say whether Oura Xingjiang is nervous now, then she must answer that she is more nervous.

After all, she is going to compete with Higashinoji on the same stage next. Although she is very confident in her singing skills, Higashinoji is in the main axis position this time (the last one to appear, the position that has attracted much attention).

So she must be more vigilant about this, and she can't capsize in the gutter. She is really suppressed by Dong Yesi.

You must know that the family news magazines outside have been building momentum and brewing for this matter after they heard that she and Higashino Division were on the stage of the Red and White Song Battle.

Some newspapers wanted to write her as if she had a terrible feud with Higashino Division.

What caused a conflict by rejecting "Lemon", and then Dongyesi's "Lemon" put her at the bottom of the distribution list. The article was born.

Although most of these are true, just writing it out like this is not good for her image as a singer.

Yes, the career of a singer is no different than the career of a manga artist by Higashinoji. A singer has to be active in the entertainment circle and show his face in front of fans, so he must maintain his image.

For cartoonists, personal image is not so important.

They only need to draw their own works, even if 360 stays at home for five days, no one will scold them, and some will even praise their serious professional attitude.

But singers can't.

So these newspapers and magazines made Oura Xingjiang feel a little depressed.

"This time we must win the battle, and get rid of all the depression in the first half of the year!"

Oura Xingjiang thought so in his heart, and clenched his fists at the same time.

I was overwhelmed by "Lemon" in the first half of the year, and I was overwhelmed by Dong Yesi's song all the way to death. I couldn't move but today is different!

Singing live is no better than having a tuner in a recording studio to help fix the sound. She thinks Higashino must have no chance of winning!

Oura Xingjiang didn't go to the Higashinoji rehearsal. After all, he was the last to appear every time, and she had various affairs to attend to. In addition, NHK did not allow video recording during the rehearsal, so she never knew about Higashinoji. Strength.

But if you just think about it the other way around, you will know that his clear and clear singing voice must be cultivated. Ordinary male voices do not have that unique voice.

Even if he stepped back a million steps, Higashino's voice was indeed clear and clear, but the other party who had never participated in such a national program would inevitably feel nervous when facing the spotlight.

As she thought about it, she quickly thought of the headline of tomorrow's news "Comic Genius Red and White Uta Fights Waterloo, Facts Prove What Oura Yukie Said is True".
It has to be said that Oura Xingjiang's associative power is quite powerful.

Dongye Sidu only thought about fighting her today, but she already thought about tomorrow's news headlines.

"It's still so long, let's go to the toilet first." Oura Xingjiang muttered, and simply stood up.

However, as soon as she walked out of the lounge, she bumped into Dong Yeji who was sitting next door by the lounge door.

Seeing Higashino Si sitting without much expression, and even in the mood to laugh with Saito Kotori beside him, Oura Yukie couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth.

This is because you already feel that you have the chance to win, so you look down on me?

Oura Xinge twitched the corner of his mouth, and took the initiative to say hello: "Higashino-san."

"Oh, Dapu-san, what's the matter?"

The other party greeted him well, and of course Higashino did not hesitate, and responded with a smile.

"I was just thinking that Higashino-san is so relaxed. It's going to be the battle of the Red and White Songs soon, and I can't see any nervous expressions. You must know that you are the main axis of the Red and White Songs this year."

Oura Yukie spoke sourly, as if he had eaten dozens of lemons.

Oura Xingjiang is still very concerned about Higashino Division getting the position of this year's main axis. She thinks that the NHK Red and White Song Competition is getting worse and worse. In previous years, old singers were used as the main axis. This year, she actually found a painting Isn't it funny that comics are used as a big axis?

At the same time, what she said also meant to put pressure on Higashinoji, and the inner meaning was actually, "You are the backbone of this year's Red and White Song Battle, can you be the leader?" '

Of course Saito Kotori next to her could understand the meaning of Oura Yukie's words, but as a little idol, she could only lower her head at this time, scolding Oura Yukie in a low voice while cheering for Higashinoji.

Faced with Oura Xinge's provocation, Higashinoji's expression still didn't change much, he just smiled and said:

"You don't need to worry about this. Instead of worrying about me this year, Dapusang should take good care of your own program. I heard that in the first half of the year, Dapusang's sales performance on the distribution list and Oricon O list is not bad. None of them are particularly good."

This is simply blatant murder.

Oura Yukie was so angry that his stomach started to hurt.

After all, everyone knows that this year's Oricon Singles O Chart and Distribution Singles Chart were all killed by Higashinoji's three songs.

Whether it's "Lemon", "Even though our hands are empty", and "Don't Give Up", they all jump up and down this list, showing full dominance.

In particular, the song "Lemon", which was first released by Higashino Division, took the No. [-] sales on the Oricon Singles O chart and the No. [-] digital distribution chart in one fell swoop. It is no problem to say that it is a double crown.

And the reason why Oura Xingjiang's performance in the first half of this year was not very good is because she was also one of the members who was massacred back and forth by the three songs of Higashino Division, and was beaten on the ground until her skin was blue and her face was swollen.

At this time, Higashino Division brought up this matter, telling her directly, 'Your grades this year are not as good as mine, so don't come here to provoke me again'.

"The results on the list can't explain everything, Higashino-san, this time it's a live performance."

Oura Yukie was furious enough, but he didn't want to quarrel with Higashino Tsukasa, so he could only drop a word, turned around, covered his stomach, and headed for the toilet.

Seeing the back of her leaving, Kotori Saito made a grimace directly, feeling that Higashino immediately stuck out his tongue when he saw it, pretending to be cute maliciously.

As an idol, her cute impromptu performance is already engraved in her DNA.

But I have to say.
Even if Higashino knew that Saito Kotori was pretending to be cute maliciously, he was still slightly amazed.

After all, Saito Kotori has a good appearance and a sweet smile. According to Japanese, he has a kind of "smart beauty".

In addition, Higashinoji is also considered a man, so it is natural to have a reaction.

Therefore, in a sense, this kind of malicious pretending to be cute is really useful.

Higashino Division is not an ordinary person.

After being baptized by Chihaya Higashino, Suzuka Konoe, Aoi Fujiwara, and Yumi Takahashi for a long time, he still has a strong resistance to this kind of malicious and cute behavior.

After she finished laughing, Higashino Division simply started to chase people away:
"Okay, the audience has entered the arena, and we may enter the arena later, so go to your side and prepare."

"Hey—— Higashino-san is so indifferent. Is this starting to drive people away? I'm so sad"

Saito Kotori pretended to be half-crying.

After getting along with several rehearsals, she actually gradually got to know Higashino Tsukasa, and knew that the other party didn't care much about seniority and politeness like traditional Japanese, so she gradually let go in front of Higashino Tsukasa.

From time to time, she would pick vegetables from Higashinoji's bento box.

This behavior is actually very dangerous. If it is seen and exposed, her idol career may be over.

After all, idols in Japan are strictly forbidden to fall in love. Even if they participate in variety shows, they cannot have too intimate physical contact with other male guests.

Saito Kotori is very concerned about his idol career.

But for some reason, in front of Dong Yesi, she always subconsciously acted like a baby and couldn't control it at all.

Maybe it's because this young man has an aura that she can't describe, which makes people depend on him.

Especially the last time the other party casually resolved the conflict between Oura Yukie and her, which made Saito Kotori even more unable to control his behavior.

So every time after doing some intimacy, she would always say half-jokingly: "Hey, if someone really finds out and my idol career is over, then let's find Higashino-san as a boyfriend, anyway, Higashino-san is so rich ,hey-hey."

Every time he heard her say that, Higashinoji would just smile cheerfully, and then raise his hand as if he was going to hit her.

As for why she said that, she actually didn't understand.

Could it be what I was really looking forward to?

After sending Saito Kotori away, Higashino Division also tidied up his lounge table, planning to go out for a cutscene later.

Although he was in charge of the "big axis" at the end of the white group, there was a cutscene where the singers of the red and white groups walked together before the official start of the red and white song battle.

Of course Higashino Division will also appear in this link, so naturally he has to make good preparations.

Just like that, after waiting in the background for about half an hour, a message came from the front desk that the singers of the white group and the red group were ready to appear on stage.

I have to say that there are really many singers participating in the Red and White Song Battle. From the perspective of Dong Yesi, they are arranged in a row.
But after thinking about it, he felt that this was quite natural.

After all, there are very few people who fight alone like him. Whether it is the white group or the red group, there will always be an idol group (boy or girl group), so it is normal that there are so many people.

After waiting in the background for about 2 minutes, the team began to move. Every singer and idol quickly adjusted their status, with professional smiles on their faces—after all, singers appeared with close-ups of their faces.

After all, if he appeared on camera with a bad face, he might be caught and severely criticized by the home entertainment newspaper.

Higashino Division also followed suit, with a smile on his face, and then followed a group of singers, the idol gradually walked to the front
At this time, Yumi Takahashi in the audience obviously couldn't wait any longer.

It took half an hour from entering the stage to the singer entering the stage. Her lively and active character was really suppressed and speechless.

Now it is hard to see singers starting to walk out from both sides of the stage.She immediately followed the audience next to her and started clapping vigorously while looking up excitedly.

"Where's Mr. Dongye? Where's Mr. Dongye?"

"Student Higashino is the big axis, he must be at the end." Fujiwara Aoi was a little speechless, but still applauded along with her.

"I don't know if Asi will be nervous on this occasion."

Higashino Chihaya clapped her hands, and said anxiously to Konoe Lianghua who was sitting between herself and Konoe Tsushima.

She would not have asked such a question at first, but when she saw the dark crowd in the NHK studio and glanced at the various camera positions, she subconsciously couldn't help but speak.

But compared to her, Konoe Lianghua's attitude is much more certain.

She shook her head without hesitation: "I definitely won't be nervous. Asi is so powerful."

She used this "sure" so resolutely that Chihaya Higashino couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth.

Why does Asi's girlfriend trust him so much?
Asi and I have lived together for more than ten years, and we both feel that this kind of situation is a bit precarious.

You lived with Asi for a year and a half when you were unconscious, so you have so much confidence in him?
While the two of them were discussing in low voices, the master of ceremonies of the white team on the stage finally mentioned Dong Yesi: "Higashi Ye-san, please give me more advice!"

This immediately caught their attention.

Higashinoji's expression didn't change much, he smiled very naturally, and waved his hand in the direction of Konoe Lianghua and the others when he walked out - of course he couldn't see so many people, so he could only wave his hand to show it .

After introducing Dong Yesi of the last group, the master of ceremonies on the stage began to read the manuscript in the process.

It probably means that this year's biggest song festival, the song battle, the red and white song battle is about to begin, and our white team will never lose.

The hostess of the red group wearing a kimono is not to be outdone, saying that the red group will overwhelm the white group, and also vaguely mentioned that this year's red and white song battle is more explosive than previous years
This is undoubtedly talking about Higashino Division and Oura Xingjiang.

The applause from the audience below was very embarrassing.

After all, the audience watched the excitement and wished that the competition would become more intense.

In this situation, the red group and the white group began to exit, and it was the turn of the two groups to perform after the special performance group ended.

Naturally, Higashino was the first to return to the lounge, and by the way, turned on the TV in the lounge, and began to watch the performance of the Red and White Uta Battle.

To be honest, he was really not that nervous.

This behavior made Saito Kotori who had just come back speechless: "Higashino-san, are you still in the mood to watch other people's performances? I'm almost dying of nervousness. I'm afraid our idol group's programs will be compared with others."

Saying that, Saito Kotori sighed again.

"What if the ratings drop during the time slot when it's our idol group's turn? That will be published in the newspaper later, just thinking about it makes me a little nervous."

Now she is really envious of Dong Yesi's psychological quality.

time slot
If Saito Kotori hadn't mentioned this, Higashino had really forgotten.

Inside the impression.

He seems to use this thing to compete with Oura Xingjiang, right?
