Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 876 885, what does it mean to feel at home? !

The area of ​​the new Yamazakurain has expanded three times compared to before, so the scale of the housewarming party should naturally be expanded appropriately.

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori invited their friends from their respective circles of friends, colleagues from the company, etc., and the format became a Western-style party~
With so many people this time, it naturally couldn't be prepared by just the two of them, so they directly invited people from the event support company.

Now the whole Yamazakura Courtyard is full of flowers, and the walls are decorated with ribbons, balloons and festive decorations. The kitchen is filled with the aroma of baking and grilling.
"Ni-chan, Yamazakurain really looks like those Western-style houses in Taito District!"

Tsuruko was naturally invited to come. She and Nakamori Akina were the first to come. Akina's sister graduated from high school this year and was going to come to Tokyo to find a job.
At this time, Tsuruko was touring the new Yamazakurain with Nakamori Akiho.

"It was decorated based on the style of the old Furukawa Gardens," said Naoki Nagayama. "Although it's a little smaller than that, it's not much different."

“What a luxury~”

Hezi was amazed. You know, in the past, those who lived in Western-style houses in Japan were either tycoons or powerful people. Now her brother also lived in a Western-style house.

After hearing what Tsuruko said, Naoki Nagayama thought she was making a fuss. Didn't Tsuruko go to his Hongyuyuan in Kyoto? That was luxurious!

"Naoki-san, President Hanami is here," Akina Nakamori called her boyfriend from the living room.

"Hi~" Naoki Nagayama was about to go over to greet his sister, "There are karaoke and pool tables in the entertainment room on the right, but you can't drink!"

"What? I'm already an adult!" Tsuruko said disdainfully. She was born in the same year as Akina Nakamori and her birthday is only two months away, but she can be considered 20 years old!

"I haven't yet." Nakamori Akiho was crying beside her.
"Stupid tape, I drank it at home anyway!"

The two girls bit their ears, then went to tinker with the bar in the entertainment hall.

Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori had no time to pay attention to their younger sisters. As time approached, guests arrived one after another, and the two of them greeted them in the living room at the main entrance.

"Naoki-san, Akina-chan!"

This wave of people who came were all guests from Akina's side. Hanami Kaku came with Terabayashi Chao, as well as Tanaka Yoshiaki, the familiar agent Akiko Fusano, and assistant Ueda Maki.

My good friend in the entertainment industry is Kyoko Koizumi, but it is not convenient for her to come over today~
"Yamazakurain has really changed a lot!" Hanami He couldn't help but sigh, "This space."

"It has a Meiji Restoration-era architectural style." Terabayashi Chao observed the style of the building and exclaimed, "The fusion of Eastern and Western cultures has a kind of impact!"

“Hahaha, this is a new era~”

Naoki Nagayama doesn't care about this mixed style. Perhaps in a few decades, this will be the style of the bubble era!

After welcoming people in, Akina led everyone to tour the entire new Yama Sakurain. When passing by the exhibition area, they were amazed to see the various awards won by the two people, and the trophies filled two display cabinets, which was amazing.

"Akina-chan, in a few years, the awards you and Naoki-san have won will be enough to open an exhibition hall!" Hanami Kaku said with a smile.

Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama are both darlings of the entertainment industry and figures in the spotlight. In the past two years, awards have been flowing into their homes one after another.

"It's only because of Naoki-san's award that we can open an exhibition hall."

Akina Nakamori felt a little embarrassed. Although her own display cabinet also had many awards, Naoki Nagayama's display cabinet was filled with all the important trophies.

Naoki Award, Blue Ribbon Award for Best Film, Best Director, Academy Award for Best Film, Best Director, and Palme d'Or
Each of them is an honor that ordinary people can only admire from afar but cannot desecrate!

Looking at these, even Hanami Kaku and Terabayashi Chao had to admit that their own Nakamori Akina was indeed much worse.

Terabayashi Chao looked at the various trophies, and suddenly turned to Nakamori Akina and said:

"Akina-chan, if you can win the Japan Record Awards this year, it will be a great honor!"

"Japan Record Awards?" Hanami He pushed his glasses and nodded, "Indeed."

Akina Nakamori was somewhat excited. She was confident that she could win the award, but she was also a little worried:

"But, aren't the Japanese Record Awards given to enka? As for pop songs."

The Japan Record Prize is known as the most authoritative award in the Japanese music industry. It has always been biased towards enka, and no pop singer has ever won the grand prize.

"Dumb tape!" Si Lin Chao said confidently, "Even if you are old-fashioned, you have to see the trend of the times! The music industry today is dominated by pop music!"

Pop, rock, R&B, dance, rap...all kinds of music are flourishing. Although enka has the blessing of traditional culture, it has begun to decline in this rapidly developing era!

Hanami He also agreed:

"Plus Akina-chan's popularity, if the Japan Record Awards don't accept the change, then we'll change the Japan Record Awards!"

At that time, if the most popular and highest-selling songs and records do not participate in the Japan Record Awards, the authority of this selection will be greatly reduced, and in the end it will just be for self-entertainment!
While Akina Nakamori and the people from Ken-On were discussing the fate of this year's Japan Record Awards, Naoki Nagayama also welcomed his first wave of guests.
"Naoki-san! I'm here!" Nakai Genta arrived at Yamazakurain with Hoshino Suzumi and his son Shota.

"Yuta-san, Suzumi-chan!" Nagayama Naoki happily welcomed them in, and then greeted the spirited Nakai Shota, "Shota~ do you still recognize me?"

The little guy turned his face away without giving any face. "I don't know him!"

"Haha, so cute!" Naoki Nagayama could only save his face.

"Hahaha~" Nakai Yuta and Hoshino Suzumi both laughed.

It was not the first time for the two to come to Yamazakura Courtyard, and they did not feel too restrained, so they just walked around the yard.
At this moment, Naoki Nagayama saw the cars of Yoshimura Otomo and Ido Shuichi. They both came!
"Otomo-san, Shuichi-san. Why are you here together?"

Yoshimura Otomo said, "I was cleaning up in the studio and ran into Shuichi-san."

Idou Shuichi interrupted, "I arranged a mission from Ota District, and then rushed back to pick up Jiayi and her mother."

As she spoke, Yitang Jiayi jumped out of the car:

"Naoki Ni-chan! I'm here! Congratulations on moving to your new home!"

"Thank you, Jiayi-chan!" Naoki Nagayama greeted her with a smile, "But this shouldn't be considered a housewarming, it's just redecorating at best!"

"Almost. They all feel new." Ito Kaya turned her head to look, then asked, "Naoki Ni-chan, where are Inatarou and Nyankotaro?"

"Forehead"

After she said that, Naoki Nagayama actually realized that he hadn't seen the cat and dog for a long time.

“It should be over there with the cherry blossom trees.”

"Then I'll go play with them!" Yitang Jiayi skipped away.

The remaining adults started chatting. Naoki Nagayama was a little surprised to see Yoshimura Otomo coming alone:
"Otomo-san, aren't Yuyuki-san and Keishin-kun here?"

"Ah~~~" Yoshimura Otomo sighed, "Jingxin is becoming more and more withdrawn. He doesn't want to come out, saying that he doesn't know anyone and it's meaningless."

"."

When Yoshimura Keishin was in junior high school, his family underwent a huge change. His father suddenly became a billionaire, which could be said to be a huge class leap.
For a child like Ito Jiayi who has not yet established a worldview, this is nothing, at most it means more pocket money. For adults, it is a completely happy thing, more money means a better life.

However, for a young man like Yoshimura Keishin, whose three views have been initially established but not yet matured, it is normal that he cannot accept it for a while because he suddenly started to live the life of a rich man, was away from the simple life in the countryside, and witnessed the prosperity of Tokyo.

Especially when he went to study in Tokyo, his classmates were much better than Yoshimura Keishin in terms of dressing, conversation and knowledge, which made him feel out of place and even feel inferior.
In a school environment like Neon, it is possible to be bullied~
"Otomo-san" Naoki Nagayama didn't know how to persuade him, "Please pay more attention to Jingxin-kun. Find him a hobby he likes, support him to explore it, and build his confidence in the field he likes. This is the best way."

"Um"

Yoshimura Otomo sighed. In terms of the father-son relationship, Japan is similar to other Eastern cultures.
However, this was someone else's family affair after all, and it was not convenient for Naoki Nagayama to say too much, so he changed the subject by taking everyone on a tour.

"My new renovation is mainly in the entertainment hall. In addition to the private bar, there is also karaoke and other entertainment facilities!"

He led a group of people to the entertainment hall
Then I found that my sister's face was red, and she was singing with Nakamori Akiho in karaoke, singing at the top of her lungs, very relaxed. I saw two colorful drinks on the seats of the two people.
"You two actually made your own cocktails?!"

Naoki Nagayama picked up the cup and smelled it. It was clearly a randomly mixed liquor. After drinking a glass of this, even with his alcohol tolerance, his face would turn red!
"Yes! I peeked at the bartender's cocktail-mixing technique!" Hezi said shamelessly, "It's very simple!"

"How did you adjust it?" Naoki Nagayama asked helplessly.

"It's just putting different colored wines together, like a palette, and mixing them to your favorite color!" Hezi said confidently, "So if there's a little less blue, add more blue, if there's a little less brown, add more brown, and if the color is too dark, add some colorless!"

So, you didn't miss any of the tequila, brandy, whiskey, and vodka!
This is what I made into a cup.
Naoki Nagayama looked at the already somewhat excited Tsuruko and Minghui, then looked at the people who were trying not to laugh, and shook his head:

"You two are really messing around!"

"No"

In this case, Naoki Nagayama did not stop the two people from drinking. After all, they had already drunk what they should drink. He stood behind the bar and said to the others:
"Forget it, if you want to drink, you should drink something good. I'll mix a few good cocktails for you. Do you want some, Otomo-san, Shuichi-san, and Enta-san? And Kaori-san and Suzumi-chan can also order some!"

"Then we won't be polite!" "Hahaha, I want a mojito!" "Bloody Mary!" "."

Alcohol is a catalyst for the atmosphere. After a few drinks, the conversation became heated and some people even started singing karaoke.
Attracted Nakamori Akina and several people from Kenon to come over~
After Naoya Sakata, Shinkai Ishida, and Kaede Nagayama joined, the atmosphere in the entertainment room on the right was like a bar. Later, Masataka Komori, Kyon Kijima, and Masaki Kobayashi and other friends in the industry came over.
At this party, Naoki Nagayama no longer had the burden of being a chef, but he took on the role of bartender, responsible for mixing drinks for the guests, and sometimes he also worked as a pianist. The children also had mixed fruit soda to drink~
A housewarming party is only considered a party if there is a special place for entertainment.

Lunch was prepared by a specially invited chef, and the spacious kitchen could accommodate three chefs to show off their talents.

The restaurant’s huge dining table is large enough to accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time, and each dish tastes as if it were served in a high-end restaurant.

“Mina-san thanks everyone for coming to our housewarming party”

Naoki Nagayama raised his glass and toasted with everyone. Those who came to participate in this party could be said to be Naoki Nagayama's closest relatives and friends. If there are interest groups in the future, these people will definitely be the core backbone.

“Thanks for the treat~” “Thank you Naoki-san” “When will Naoki-san get married~” “.”

Everyone was talking and relaxing, and the whole restaurant was filled with joy.

After lunch, everyone gathered in groups of three or four as usual, smoking or drinking tea. Nakai Shouta, Itou Kaya, and Nakamori Akina, who were a little sleepy, found two secondary bedrooms to rest for a while.

Now, Yamazakurain has three or four secondary bedrooms, which is definitely enough for people to rest!

Naoki Nagayama, on the other hand, wanders among the various groups, trying to ensure that no one feels left out.
"Naoki-san, how are the preparations for the Tokyo Film Festival going?" Masaki Kobayashi and Masahiro Shinoda asked about the issue that the film industry is most concerned about.

Yoshimura Otomo responded helpfully:
"The list of the organizing committee for the film festival is almost out. In addition to Shuyou and Kadokawa, Toho, Toei, Shochiku and Nikkatsu are all involved. There are also people from government departments, the Film Journalists Association, the Film Lovers Association, movie theater chains and well-known film critics."

"We plan to hold a collective meeting in July to discuss the specific preparations."

Kobayashi Masaki frowned, a little worried: "Then you tree friends should have heard that Toei is colluding with other people, including people from government departments, to seize power in the production committee!"

Naoki Nagayama nodded:
"Ah, you mean the organizer, right?"

"Well, only the tools and names cannot be delegated to others, and that is your responsibility." Kobayashi Masaki is very knowledgeable about Eastern culture, and blurted out a quote from Zuo Zhuan, "Naoki-san, if Toei is given the title of organizer, then everything about the Tokyo International Film Festival will be Toei's credit!"

"Of course we know that."

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said,

"Letting Toei's people act freely is, on the one hand, to borrow the resources of the old film studio, invite people from all sides, and leverage resources. On the other hand, it is also convenient for Toei to get rid of other people who have intentions~"

"Then Naoki-san, aren't you worried?" Shinoda Masahiro was a little surprised, "Could it be that Shuyou has a trump card?!"

"Hahaha, of course there is," Naoki Nagayama said, "but it's meaningless to say it out loud. Masaki-san and Masahiro-san have to be present at the first meeting together!"

"You guys, you want to announce it at that time!" Kobayashi Masaki laughed, "Want to surprise everyone?"

"That's it!"

“Hahahaha~” Kobayashi Masaki laughed, “Then I can’t miss it!”

After chatting with people in the film industry, Naoki Nagayama went to Nakai Yuta's investment circle. Nagayama Feng was also there, listening to Nakai Yuta talking about the recent international financial situation.

"Brother Feng, why are you interested in this too?"

"Nothing. I've met a lot of rich people in KTV recently. They always talk about this when they chat." Yongshan Feng took a sip of wine. "Sure enough, the people who really make money are the ones who make money all over the world!"

“Well, don’t put your money in one basket.”

Naoki Nagayama interrupted the topic without hesitation and talked about the huge changes in the financial market that will happen in the near future.
"In short, the United States wants funds to stimulate its domestic economy, and Japan is now a fat lamb. Therefore, the G7 will definitely find a way to reap Japan's capital!"

“We’ll see the truth in the next few months!”

"In recent times, the best way for us to maintain cash flow is to appreciate the yen."

"It is certain that Japan's products are becoming less competitive overseas. The United States will not allow Japan's products to be dumped!"

"If you want to buy land now, this should be your last chance. The potential for appreciation in the next few years is very large."

"."

Sure enough, when men chat, they either make money or pursue their careers.
As the hostess, Akina Nakamori drank tea with the female guests and talked about music, family and gossip. The tradition for women in this era is to stay at home, and it is a bit awkward to talk about career.

However, Akina Nakamori is a top idol after all, and she can see more information than ordinary people, so she is usually the one who takes the lead in conversations.

"Seiko-san's flash marriage must have been a revenge on Hiromi Go!" said Akina Nakamori, "But Masaki Kanda is also a very handsome husband."

"Did Saint Son Sang start by playing both sides?"

"Probably not." Nakamori Akina recalled her past memories, "During the Red and White Song Festival, Seiko-san and Go Hiromi-san got along very well! They were a group performance."

"Is that so?" Several female guests exclaimed in surprise.

After talking about recent music, Akina Nakamori also took everyone to the recording studio and dance studio on the second floor. In addition to the tour, they also tried to record simple tapes by themselves.

The hosts, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori, entertained their visiting guests in this way, making everyone feel like they were at home, and everyone was very happy!
It was not until the sun began to set that cars drove out of the gate of Yamazakurain.
As for cleaning and arranging decorations, these were of course done quickly by the event support company.
