Chapter 113 112, It’s Family

Chapter 113 112, it's family~

On November 29, 1947, the weather was fine and sunny.

The temperature in Tokyo was a pleasant 22℃. You can enjoy the autumn scenery of Tokyo by wearing a sweater.

Naoki Nagayama got up early. Today was the day to cheer for Akina. He couldn't miss it because of a lazy sleep.

He drove his beloved sports car and arrived at the downstairs of the Nippon Television building. After parking the car in the garage, it was about 8:30. It should be here in a while.

Naoki Nagayama took a pack of cheering sticks out of the back seat and prepared to go to the main entrance to wait~

But the security uncle at the door seemed to look over several times. What was this handsome young man with a big bag doing?

He started posing there just now. Is it a hidden program on the station that is being filmed? I didn't see the camera? Is the technology so advanced?

Naoki Nagayama was helpless. He stood near the gate for a long time. He had to put his heavy bag aside.

In the days without mobile phones, waiting for someone was really a torture. If he had known earlier, he would have brought a book or magazine to kill time.

Just as I was thinking about it, a huge team of 7 people in front of me slowly came over. The shortest one was Nakamori Akiho.

Naoki Nagayama raised his hand and shook it. Nakamori Akiho happily greeted him: "Naoki-san, you are here~ How long have you been waiting?"

"Not long~"

Looking at the big bag in Naoki Nagayama's hand, the eldest sister Nakamori Akiho asked: "Naoki-san, what is this bag?"

"Ah, it's a cheering stick. I thought as a fan I should show some appreciation."

"You are a professional indeed!" Nakamori Akiho shouted on the side, "No one has prepared anything~"

"It's okay, there are a lot of cheering sticks."

Then Naoki Nagayama greeted all the men present.

In fact, Naoki Nagayama and the men of the Nakamori family are nodding acquaintances, but he is more familiar with the ladies, and even Chieko seems very friendly.

Chieko, the head of the family, patted Minghui on the head: "We are here to cheer for Mingcai, isn't that the best support? Don't stand at the door, let's go in~"

Then she said to Naoki Nagayama: "Nagayama-san, let's go in~"

"Hi~"

The scale of the pre-final review meeting was obviously much larger than before, and the studio was also very large, with at least a dozen rows of audiences.

The first few rows were basically people from the entertainment industry, judges, scouts, and producers.

Each of them had to carefully examine the overall quality of the contestants to decide whether to pre-select them or who had potential to be cultivated.

As the contestants' relatives and friends, they were also arranged relatively forward, roughly in the middle.

While sitting down, Naoki Nagayama also distributed cheering sticks to the Nakamori family.

"It's probably about waving the cheering stick when you go on stage, waving it after singing, and in short, when others are applauding, just use the cheering sticks to knock each other."

To put it simply, the cheering stick is a long balloon, which will make a sound like applause when knocked.

As usual, the contestants went backstage early to put on makeup and prepare. There were only 8 contestants today, so it was expected that the time would not be too long.

"Akiho-san, Akina-san will also sing "Dream Guide" today, right?"

"Hey, I heard her say so before, and Akina even went through a month of training for this~"

"Is that so? That's really hard work."

As they were talking, the opening music started playing, and the host began to invite and introduce the judges and the process, and then some of the audience in the audience began to cheer and applaud to the rhythm.

Sure enough, there were many shills~

One by one, the contestants walked up to the stage and began to sing their competition songs, and the judges in the audience also gave their opinions at the right time.

In fact, this scoring has almost determined the contestants' chances of debuting. If there is no particularly eye-catching breakthrough in the final battle next week, then today will be the finals.

"Next up is Nakamori Akina, 16 years old, welcome!"

The host's voice announced the arrival of Nakamori Akina, and the girl in a white dress walked out of the door curtain. Naoki Nagayama and his group immediately raised their cheering sticks and applauded~

"Ah, Akina-san has changed her hairstyle, and she doesn't look like a 16-year-old in a skirt at all."

Naoki Nagayama whispered to Akie next to him,

"That's my mother's favorite skirt!" Nakamori Akie muttered, "I borrowed it several times but she didn't give it to me."

"Hahaha, is that so?"

The music on the stage sounded, and Akina re-interpreted Yamaguchi Momoe's "Dream Guide".

It can be seen that compared to the immaturity in August, this time her manners and eyes are much more perfect, and her stage performance has improved a lot.

The short song was intoxicating, and at the end of the song, the whole audience basically applauded. The Nakamori family was holding cheering sticks, which was particularly conspicuous.

After the song ended, the host said to her: "There are many people cheering for Akina-san at the scene now, and the row over there is even more enthusiastic. Are they fans of Akina-san?"

Akina saw the people holding cheering sticks and smiled shyly: "It's my family~"

The host smiled and said: "I knew that Akina came from a large family, which is rare nowadays. Sure enough, her family supports her a lot~"

"Hey~ I hope I can live up to their expectations~"

"Then with the encouragement of my family, let's take a look at this week's scores together!"

"Hi~" the host spoke in English with a strong Japanese accent: "Okay, then switch on!"

The huge scorer on the background wall showed Akina's score this week - 88!

The highest score so far!

The judges in the audience said directly: "I don't have much guidance for you anymore, prepare for the finals next week~"

Akina Nakamori is the second to last contestant. After her singing, the pre-screening meeting will soon be over.

The crowd at the scene also slowly left the studio. The Nakamori family and Naoki Nagayama waited for Akina to come out outside the employee passage.

After a while, little Akina came trotting over and hugged Chieko's arm, "Oh, I'm here~"

It was only then that I could see that she was still 16 years old.

Then he chatted with his family members until he saw Naoki Nagayama next to him, and smiled a little embarrassedly:

"Naoki-san, thank you for coming to cheer me up~ Arigato~"

"It's okay, it's okay, Akina-san's performance is very good, thanks to Akina, I heard the familiar "Dream Guide" again~"

Akina was still a little excited: "It's still a little bit worse, some places are still not good~"

As they talked, they walked to the door, "Speaking of which, Naoki-san is also a person in the entertainment industry~"

Akina suddenly thought of this, "She also manages idol girl groups besides the Wildcats~"

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Akina was still a little embarrassed: "From Naoki-san's perspective, how is my performance on stage? Is there anything that can be improved?"

The other people in the Nakamori family also stopped talking for a while, and seemed to want to listen.

Every time the 8 pairs of eyes look at each other, it is very stressful.

"As for the stage performance, it was very good. It has improved a lot compared to August~"

It seems that these eyes have no intention of fading, and Naoki Nagayama has to bite the bullet and say a little bit of his own opinion:

"If there is anything that can be improved, Akina-san~"

"What?"

"Next time, why don't you try black clothes? Black can show a more mature feeling."

"Huh?" Xiao Akina lowered her head. Sure enough, she began to have her own thoughts on the stage at this time.

Still asking for the first order~
