"itch……"

 "I will be careful."

 The fair skin was gradually covered by the clothes, giving off a slightly suggestive vibe.

 Sanzenin Arashi took a deep breath, put her wig back on, and prepared to get into character.

 Even in the photography industry, AV actors arrange a conversation to help the male and female actors get into character, putting them together with drinks and chatting. It goes without saying that in filmmaking, according to the couple setting, Shiina Mashiro is now my wife.

 At 1.62 meters tall, she is not short in Japan, and now she is wearing high heels, which makes the girl look dignified. She weighs less than 100 pounds and has slender limbs. However, she has little acting experience and needs Arashi Sanzenin to guide her.

 Walking up to Mashiro, Sanzenin Arashi simply said, "We have twenty minutes now. Imagine that we're married, we have two children, and today is our wedding anniversary. We're going on a trip."

 Shiina Mashiro frowned, and after a moment of thought, her expression became serious.

 "I am now Lan's wife, what should I do?" the girl asked.

 Ok.

 Sanzenin Arashi sighed inwardly; she simply didn't know how.

 However, he has a way to help Mashiro quickly immerse herself in the role of his wife.

 “Let’s chat.” Sanzenin Arashi took the girl’s arm. “Follow the flow of the conversation and adjust your mindset.”

 The girl nodded.

 The director handed the script to the girl, but Sanzenin Arashi did not give it to her.

 The two walked into a small room. As soon as they entered, Sanzenin Arashi saw a few chairs casually placed. He turned on the chandelier and pulled Mashiro to sit down facing him.

 "Our task now is to get into character quickly."

 "kindness."

 “First of all,” Sanzenin Arashi took a breath, “we dated for three years.”

 After saying that, Sanzenin Arashi paused for a minute.

 Then he leaned close to Mashiro's ear, placed two fingers in front of the girl's eyes, and waved them back and forth.

 'I'll do it this once.' Sanzenin Arashi thought silently.

 Then, in a slow, leisurely manner like an old man, he said, "I met you at a tram station at sunset. You were lost, and I took you home."

 We became friends, and before we knew it, we were in a relationship.

 There are many unforgettable things, but the one I remember most clearly is you in the kitchen, not knowing how to cook, and pointing a knife at me.

 I was a little scared at the time, and I was thinking, "How can there be a girl like this?"

 This is the beginning of our going off the rails, and our lives will continue to go off the rails.

 It was our first date, but somehow we ended up having sex.

 After the lovers had a physical relationship and became increasingly attached, we didn't linger together; instead, we continued living our lives as before.

 Until one day you get pregnant.

 We got married and registered our marriage in a very ordinary way, and then continued to live our ordinary lives.

 Then the baby was born, and we weren't even prepared, because life is just that unpredictable.

 At that moment, I realized that I couldn't continue to be so out of touch with reality. I had to make money so that you could live a stable life.

 Then your belly got bigger again. It's my fault, but when I saw the second child being born, your eyes started to change.

 They became serious, no longer indifferent as before.

 Time flies when you're focused.

 Eight years have passed, and I have finally achieved what I wanted: to own a house that is entirely my own.

 Today is our eighth wedding anniversary.

 Sanzenin Arashi whispered these words in Mashiro's ear, speaking slowly, and ten minutes had passed in the blink of an eye.

 Seeing the change in Mashiro's eyes, Sanzenin Arashi continued, "We're going to have another date."

 But now that we have children, we can't just wander around the streets like before; we have to consider their feelings.

 I took a special leave from work and planned a three-day trip to a hot spring hotel.

 "It would be so much fun to go with the kids..."

 ..

333, Be good

 Shiina Mashiro's eyes looked a little strange, and Sanzenin Arashi stopped talking and waved her hand in front of her.

 "Mashiro...uh..."

 Seeing Mashiro's appearance, Sanzenin Arashi felt a sudden jolt in her heart.

 Those eyes wearing amber contact lenses looked over, their gaze filled with affection. Mashiro simply looked at Sanzenin Arashi and then reached out to pat his head.

 "Yoshi yoshi~" Mashiro said softly.

 "good."

 The sudden opening of the door startled the young director. He turned around and saw Sanzenin Arashi quickly walking out. A blush appeared on his somewhat weathered face. As he observed Sanzenin Arashi, she was also looking at him.

 "Quickly, get ready to start filming!" Sanzenin Arashi shouted.

 This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Mashiro is completely immersed in the role; who knows how long she can keep it up?

 The camera was quickly ready, and Sanzenin Arashi grabbed Mashiro and went straight up!

 Now is the time for husband-and-wife teams.

 "ready, go!"

 The director's voice echoed in the studio.

 The opening sequence of Home Alone, based on Arashi Sanzenin's script, shows the father calling to confirm the hotel at their travel destination, while the wife packs their luggage. She then calls out to her two daughters, and after receiving their responses, the young couple exchange a glance, and the husband affectionately kisses his wife on the cheek.

 Mashiro's affectionate gaze was completely natural, but because it was natural, it appeared incredibly natural without any affectation. It was simply perfect. Then, Sanzenin Arashi kissed her pale pink lips in turn, ending the first scene.

 As for the main characters' shots and their responses to their parents, these will be inserted directly into the audio track in post-production, and then the transitions between shots will be achieved through editing.

 That's why he and Mashiro only need to film one scene together.

 After filming three shots, Mashiro was still in that rather strange state, holding onto Sanzenin Arashi's hand and not wanting to let go at all.

 The crew members stared at the two of them in a daze. After removing her makeup, Mashiro returned to her innocent and cute appearance, but her eyes were still a little strange. Sanzenin Arashi was about to speak when her phone rang.

 As the president of Niconico, his monthly phone bill is higher than the salary of an average wage earner.

 "Mashiro, I need to take this call."

 "Lan is running away."

 "I'm just answering a phone call... Look, it's Nishikawa."

 The girl then let go of his hand and sat down to the side.

 Sanzenin Arashi sighed inwardly. What had just happened was just simple hypnosis, something that could even be found in ordinary books. Many high schools would explain the principles behind it as an extracurricular activity. It was nothing more than using human adaptability to instill knowledge in others—the more someone believed in you, the more powerful it became.

 However, she didn't expect Mashiro to trust her to such an extent that she would never listen to anyone, which made Sanzenin Arashi quite jealous.

 "Mr. Aoyama, we've received another job offer." Nishikawa's voice came through the phone.

 Sanzenin Arashi was getting impatient. These kinds of things were usually announced by subordinates. Even Kira Tsubasa Sanzenin Arashi had a manager, a girl who had just graduated and had a friendly, approachable smile. But why was this kind of news coming to her?

 Indeed, since Kira Tsubasa debuted on MusicStation, she has been constantly approached by variety shows. She has already appeared on three variety shows this week, and her popularity is still rising. As a goddess of beauty, Kira Tsubasa is almost catching up with second-tier stars. Once the album is released and she does another promotional episode, her popularity will explode.

 In this situation, Arashi Sanzenin, who was originally her manager, was almost driven crazy by the situation.

 "Why are you telling me this?" Sanzenin Arashi retorted directly.

 "Uh..." Nishikawa was momentarily speechless, but after a moment he said, "This job is indeed related to you..."

 There's a music-related variety show that wants to invite you to perform. With the Chopin Music Festival approaching, TV Asahi has a special project and has invited Li Yundi, the winner of the previous Chopin Music Award. I heard that Li Yundi only agreed to perform after hearing the president play his piece "La Campanella," because TV Asahi will also be inviting the president.

 Sanzenin Arashi was stunned.

 What's going on here? I started an idol department so that my people would attend these kinds of events to gain popularity for the project. What are these troublemakers trying to do by inviting me?

 "Moreover, the theme of this special project is the status of Japanese music in the world, which has attracted a lot of social attention. I personally suggest that you, President, should make an appearance. Not only should you make an appearance, but it would be even better if you made an appearance wearing a Nico Nico promotional shirt!" Nishikawa said with great enthusiasm, "This is all for promotion. I personally think that the president himself is much more impressive than those posters and such!"

 Indeed, with his exceptional playing skills, it would be no problem for him to have all the piano lovers in Japan firmly in his grasp, because they know just how strong Arashi Sanzenin is. If Arashi Sanzenin wins the Chopin Music Prize, his status in Japan will rise dramatically, and he might even be nominated for a position such as a national image ambassador.

 It's like how basketball players all admire Jordan; it's become something akin to a religion.

 There are probably only a few hundred people in the world who can play a single note of "The Bell" quite well.

 There are probably dozens of them in Japan as well.

 But if we're talking about those who can play musically and beautifully, there are only about ten in the whole world, and Japan doesn't have a single one.

 Now, a person named Aoyama Arashi has appeared, whose registered residence is in Japan.

 This kind of thing, which has risen from entertainment to national pride, is universally appealing.

 After a moment's thought, Sanzenin Arashi decided to agree and asked, "When will the show air? What time slot?"

 Arashi Sanzenin had no reason to refuse appearing on such a high-class and well-regarded program.

 ..

334. Puff, puff puff, puff puff puff!

 “It’s TV Asahi’s 7 PM show on weekends,” Nishikawa explained. “Their 7 PM program was canceled, so there are no programs on this episode. To keep the audience interested, they’ve planned a show full of substance. Not only will international piano virtuoso Li Yundi be on stage, but they’ll also announce a major decision at the very end of the show. It’s really just a gimmick.”

 Sanzenin Arashi nodded. "Li Yundi? He can tour the world and hold concerts. He's a truly world-class pianist. His piano albums are among the top ten best-selling on Amazon worldwide."

 The most terrifying thing is that he was in 6 out of the top 10 spots on Amazon's list the year before last.

 Throughout history, musicians have generally earned high but not outrageous incomes. Yet, Li Yundi has achieved something remarkable: his income surpasses that of any Japanese celebrity, and his popularity remains undiminished. Since 2010, his albums have consistently ranked highly, and as he ages, his status in the music industry is approaching that of Hayao Miyazaki in the animation world.

 Both types of works can be sold for a long time. That's the charm of classical music; it will never be outdated, even hundreds of years from now.

 In fact, most of the most difficult pieces to perform in modern times are products from hundreds of years ago. Since the Renaissance, instrumental performance has never declined.

 “Tell the people at Asahi that I’ve agreed to participate in their program this time, and I’ll go there directly then,” said Sanzenin Arashi.

 "Then I will pass on the message."

 ……

 After hanging up the phone, Sanzenin Arashi held Mashiro's small hand in hers. The girl's fingers were long and slender. If Sanzenin Arashi hadn't been by her side all the time, she would have thought that Mashiro was a pianist.

 "I'm hungry," the girl said softly.

 "...Let's find a place to eat. What would you like to eat?"

 "I just want to eat it."

 "Ok."

 Driving on the road, Arashi Sanzenin was still observing the Japanese music scene.

 In Japan, specifically in the case of Arashi Sanzenin, the piano has never seen much development. Japan's musical history was rewritten by World War II, and it only began to sprout again after the war. The style is enka, and the most popular artist is not even Japanese. In fact, the songs they sing are variations of enka, so they can be considered "semi-enka".

 This person is Teresa Teng.

 This beautiful but short-lived songstress was incredibly popular in Japan, but strictly speaking, she was a Chinese citizen.

 A wave of postwar decadence swept through Japan, and the Japanese at the time preferred J-Pop to elegant music.

 This is what is known as punk rock. It ushered in Japan's golden age of records, but it led to the decline of classical music. Enka was squeezed out by J-Pop, and the market gradually faded from the view of young people. Being, the company, witnessed the rise and fall of J-Pop. A famous semi-anime singer also bloomed her last flower of life as this trend faded away.

 Sanzenin Arashi's favorite Japanese anime, "Slam Dunk," features an ending theme sung by her.

 Like Teresa Teng, Izumi Sakai died young from cancer in 2007. Her pure image remains in the hearts of every middle-aged Japanese person, including Arashi Sanzenin, who also fondly remembers this old-fashioned diva who sang for Conan and Slam Dunk.

 The opening theme of Dragon Ball GT was also written by her. This legendary Japanese singer brought the group FieldOfView to the pinnacle of their career with this anime song. When Arashi Sanzenin was following Dragon Ball, at the very end of GT, Goku used the Spirit Bomb of the entire universe to defeat Omega Shenron and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

 【DANDAN Kokoro Kareteku】This song was released to coincide with the end of the Dragon Ball series. Good songs always resonate with people. Even though the world has changed, whenever I watch the last episode of Dragon Ball and hear this song, I always feel that the world has changed, but the love that accompanied it at the beginning has not changed at all. Just like the song title, everyone has been gradually attracted by the heroic character of Son Goku.

 It's a pity that the Dragon Balls of this world have already been created, otherwise Sanzenin Arashi would have brought this work to the screen out of love.

 After examining the current state of music in Japan, Sanzenin Arashi drove to their destination, got out of the car, and went into an izakaya (Japanese pub) to request a private room. The two of them then went inside.
