I looked at Nino who was smiling and looking at the stores we passed by. I stopped him and asked. “Can I have your cell phone. I forgot mine.” I lied. I was annoyed that his members were constantly following us. Even though they tried super hard to not be noticed, their plan completely failed. Even some people in the store started to get suspicions that the four fake and completely noticeable disguises were Arashi. They should have put in more effort in their disguises, instead of sneaking up on me and making me think that they were going to kill me.
He nodded and took out his cell phone. Nino started to walk towards a store and stared at the store's front window and I looked through his contact list. Ah, I found my first victim. Aiba Masaki. I smirked and pressed the call button, then I heard a loud Arashi poly ring-tone coming from the corner. The ring-tone stopped and then someone answered my phone. “Ah, how is your filming going?” I asked to Aiba over the phone. “Ah, it’s fine. I just finished filming. I was playing with the animals from my show.” I smirked and said. “Oh, I see. Well, I'll call you later okay?” Then he said. “Um.. Okay. See ya later, Sakura-chan.” He quickly said my name. I giggled quietly myself and I ended the call. Then looked at Nino, he was now in a clothes store, so I decided to call my next victim.
“Ah, are you done filming your drama, Ohno-san?” I said through the mouth piece. “Ah, yes. I’m heading home right now.” Then I saw Nino coming towards me. “Ah, you want to speak to Ninomiya-san? Okay, here.” I handed the phone to Nino and whispered to him while pointing to the cell phone. “It’s Ohno-san.”
Nino placed the earpiece near his ear and asked. “Ah, Ohno-kun. What do you want to talk about?” I giggled and smirked. “Ah, Ohno-kun. Where are you?” Then he talked again. “Ah, you want to talk with Sakura-chan.. Ah, hai.” I perked up and looked at him, then Nino gave his phone back to me. “Hai, what is it?” I said with a grin. Then I heard Sho's voice. “Sakura-chan, what are you doing?” He asked angrily. I smiled and replied. “I just wanted to check up on you guys. Ninomiya-san looks worried about his other members so I just wanted to make sure you guys are okay. Anyways can I borrow your hat sometime? Its good for bad hair days.” Then he replied. “My hat? Yeah sure, when?” I smirked. “Anytime. Anyways why do I heard a toilet flushing? Also I hear the same music as here in the mall...” I trailed off and looked around the mall.
I started to walk to the washrooms that was around the corner and I saw them squished together trying to hide from me. I shouted to Nino. “Guess who I found!” Then he walked over to the spot beside me and looked at the squished members of Arashi. I said. “That’s why I could hear the same music and the toilet flushing at the same time. Also I heard a ring tone when I tried to phone you, Aiba-san.” I lied that I didn't notice them at all. Ah, I'm such a good schemer. Maybe all of those years of being in the same school as Nino has paid off.
They all stared at me with angry looks. I simply smiled at them and then Nino asked. “Were you guys here the whole time?” They walked towards us and nodded. I chuckled quietly to myself and sighed. I gave back Nino’s phone to him and he looked angry. He was pissed that the other members were spying on us. We were all silent and no one knew what to say. Then I wanted to break the dreadful silence. “Ah, since you guys are here. I better get back to what I wanted to do. I waved to them and they waved awkwardly back. I left and went up the elevator. My phone rang and there was no caller-id.
Moshi-moshi.
Ah, Matsuda-san. We have great news for you. Johnny Kitagawa has hired you to his company. Now you will be working for the famous Johnny-san.
That is great news. Do you know what band I will be working for?
Yeah, hold on.
Okay.
Ah, here. A..Ar…Arash…Arashi.
You must be kidding me.
Nope, Johnny-san has put you with a awesome group. I hope you have a big success.
Arigato, Mimi-chan. I’m so sad that I won’t be able to work with you anymore..
You can always visit me.. Anyways I have to go now.
Arigato for telling me. Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Mimi was the first person I met in the Tokyo Avex Records building. She works as a receptionist. Every time she sees me, she greets me with her smile while showing off her bright, beautiful and white teeth. Its sad that I won’t be working with her anymore.
I walked out of the elevator and walked towards a CD store. There was a ton of CDs. From The Beatles old records to the latest release from new artists. I picked up some Arashi CDs since I needed to know what kind of singing voices they have. I picked up their latest album and their latest single. I bought them and I left the store to find Arashi looking at me. They noticed the CDs that I bought and Aiba asked with his head slightly cocked to the side. “Are you an Arashi fan?” I giggled and shook my head. “No, but I have news for you guys.”
I took them to a café around the corner and we sat at a big table. “So, what is the news that you wanted to tell us?” Sho asked me with a curious look. I smirked and said. “Check your text messages, I think its from Johnny-san.” They took out their cell phones and checked their messages and indeed I was right. They found one from Johnny-san. Jun read out his. “YOU!! There is important news for you and the other members of Arashi. Since V6’s latest CD has been hitting the charts. I’ve asked Matsuda Sakura-san to be Arashi’s new music producer for the upcoming album that you will release later this year. There will be a meeting on Wednesday about the new album at 1:00 p.m.”
They looked up and I smiled back. Then I sipped some of my coffee. “EHH!” All of them shouted at me. “I found out about it a few minutes ago, that’s why I bought some of your CDs. I always do research on every artist that I help produce. Since you have your cell phones out, I’ll need your numbers. It’s for business reasons.” They gave me strange looks when I added the last sentence. They nodded their heads to me and I exchange numbers with each member. Afterwards, we left the café and then we left the mall to find a place to eat dinner.
We came across a little ramen shop. We sat down in a little corner and I looked at their menu. Aiba shouted. “Let’s order beer for a celebration!!” Everyone else shouted except for me who just smiled awkwardly to them. They ordered beer but I decided to pass since they needed at least a person who wasn’t drunk.
I ordered the restaurant's special gyozas and everyone ordered what they wanted. I was still full from the heavy lunch so I decided that I would order something that was less filling. We ate and an hour passed, they became drunk. I glanced at Nino who was sitting and looking around. Meanwhile everyone was distracted by each other, I decided to get the truth out of him since he was drunk and won’t remember anything. “Ninomiya-san, remember our bet in high school before I left to Osaka.” He nodded and I continued “About today, did you consider us hanging out today a date?” He nodded again. I knew that he was telling me the truth, because when anyone is drunk, their mind is consciously not there so they can't tell a lie. I smiled and finished my glass of water.
