Chapter 24

Higuchi Kanako's joke made the three of them laugh; it was indeed quite fitting.

As a partner of the agency, Yoshimura Daisuke explained the creative concept of GG to her in detail.

"Kunigami, to create a song for such a love story?" Higuchi Kanako was surprised. She had never seen this kind of novel GG format before.

"Hey, the demo tape is right here, composed and performed by Nakaki-san~" Yoshimura Daisuke inserted the demo tape into the tape player and started it.

After hearing the male version of "Sakura ~Anata ni Deai yote Yoi ~" (Sakura, Sakura, I'm Glad to Meet You), Higuchi Kanako was immediately captivated. "It's truly beautiful, and also a bit melancholic~"

Looking at the young and handsome face of Nakaki Naoki, she said, "Naoki-kun is so talented!"

So, the praise from RB people is only about being talented...

"Thank you for the compliment~"

After understanding the situation, Ido Shuichi explained the script to the two main actors again. Nakaki Naoki listened attentively; he only knew the story outline and was seeing the detailed script for the first time.

"Let's go over the specifics during the shoot." The director's words ended there, and the two main actors were then taken to get their makeup done.

After more than a month, Nakaki Naoki's hair had grown a bit, and a slight trim made it more suitable. His clean and neat attire was also appropriate.

The female lead needed a hairstyle change, from a bob to the mid-length, shoulder-length hair of a CD city beauty, with a professional and elegant look for the workplace.

The first scene was set in the rain during cherry blossom season, with the two taking shelter under the same eaves, their eyes meeting, and feelings beginning to grow...

The shooting location was still in the studio, with a street, roll-up doors, and eaves already set up. They were even real pieces taken from the street and assembled, looking very realistic. There was even a working vending machine with new cherry blossom-flavored drinks inside... They even bought some early cherry blossoms to make the scene more authentic.

Nakaki Naoki had experience shooting GGs before, and Higuchi Kanako was a professional actress, so the shoot should have been easy. However, the eye contact and growing affection...

Ido Shuichi was prepared, but he still found himself shouting "Baka... Baka..." on set.

After several NGs, he had to have the two face each other closely and say, "I like you..."

Although they knew it was for work, both being attractive, their faces turned a bit red after saying it a few times.

Taking advantage of this state, they finally managed to shoot all the necessary scenes for the first part.

"Naoki-san, Kanako-san, the first part is finally done." Although it was over, Ido Shuichi was still unsatisfied. "But the chemistry between the two of you is really poor. The next scene is the passionate period, so we need to find a way."

"Secret date" x2

Ido Shuichi thought for a long time and had a sudden idea: "How about you two become a couple?"

"Huh?!" x4

Yoshimura Daisuke and Higuchi Kanako's capable assistant, Yanagibara Masaru, exclaimed simultaneously...

"Oh, not really a couple, but try going on a date..."

"Huh?" Still x4

Ido Shuichi finally organized his thoughts: "Try to understand each other better and become more familiar and in sync."

"Let's call it a day for today. The weather isn't great, so we'll shoot the outdoor scenes in a couple of days when it clears up."

With that, Ido Shuichi turned and left, leaving the four people on the set staring at each other.

"Ah, I have something to do, so I can't see Naoki-san off today. I'll take my leave." Yoshimura Daisuke, the old fox, slipped away quickly.

The remaining three people, with the capable assistant Yanagibara Masaru still eyeing Nakaki Naoki warily...

Nakaki Naoki, bracing himself, spoke up: "Well, if it's for work, there's no choice. Kanako-san, are you free tomorrow? It's the weekend, so let's go to Kōtōmachi~"

Of course, he couldn't suggest going to Roppongi's nightclubs...

There was also a nearby disco that had just opened, and the architect, Honma Takashi, had asked him to check the site when he had time.

Higuchi Kanako lowered her head and softly said, "Okay, Naoki-kun, see you tomorrow."

After exchanging phone numbers, Higuchi Kanako left with her assistant.

Nakaki Naoki went to see Teacher Sachiko. He had already taken three classes with Tokunaga Sachiko and was almost able to read simple sheet music. He was now learning to read staff notation.

Sachiko-sensei had already started letting him choose an instrument. A musician should at least know how to play one, right?

Piano, electronic keyboard, guitar, saxophone... Should he learn the shakuhachi to elevate his artistic taste?

...

...

In the taxi on the way back, assistant Yanagibara Masaru and Higuchi Kanako were talking about Nakaki Naoki.

"Kanako-chan, is this Nakaki-kun colluding with Ido-kun to play a trick on you?" Dating rumors wouldn't be good for Higuchi Kanako, who was just starting to rise in her career.

"I don't think so. Naoki-san was also surprised, right?" Nakaki Naoki gave a good impression, "He was very honest during the performance and doesn't seem like a playboy~"

"It's the honest-looking handsome guys who are the biggest deceivers. Kanako-chan, you need to be careful and not be easily fooled..." Assistant Yanagibara Masaru, who was about the same age as Higuchi Kanako, had a good relationship with her.

"It's not like that~" But thinking of Nakaki Naoki's handsome face, Higuchi Kanako's cheeks turned red involuntarily...

"Ah, Kanako-chan, your face is red!"

"It is not~"

...

The next morning, Nakaki Naoki took the subway to Kōtōmachi station.

After waiting for a while, Higuchi Kanako arrived, this time without her assistant.

Short hair, shoulder-length, slim-fitting trousers, white shirt, gray coat~ A bright red plaid scarf shone in the early spring sunlight, making her look like a stylish 80s city girl.

She clearly took it seriously and dressed up nicely.

In comparison, Nakaki Naoki was simply dressed in a shirt, jacket, and sneakers, looking youthful and simple.

"Kanako-san, over here." Nakaki Naoki waved, and then they met up.

"Naoki-san, good morning~" Her smile didn't seem forced.

"Hi, good morning. It's a rare weekend, and I'm dragging you out, I'm really sorry~"

"Haha, it's fine, I don't have anything else to do anyway."

"Kanako-san, have you been to this area before?"

"A couple of times, but I go to a women's art university, so I don't usually come here."

"ε=(??ο｀*))) Oh, Kanako-san is still a college student?"

...

The two of them chatted back and forth, browsing the shops along the street. Before long, they both had a few items in their hands.

Nakaki Naoki was eating a takoyaki, which he seemed to always have when he went out~

The student street on the weekend was filled with idle young people, laughing and playing in small groups. Nakaki Naoki and Higuchi Kanako blended in with the youthful crowd, not standing out at all.

They laughed and talked, and it felt like they were really a couple on a date.
