Coming of Age Day is one of Japan's holidays. On this day, the whole country has a holiday, and coming-of-age ceremonies are held for young people who have reached the age of 20 in various places.
The young men and women who participate in the coming-of-age ceremony begin to become adults today and must live independently and assume social responsibilities and obligations in the future.
Japan attaches great importance to Coming of Age Day. In the past, congratulatory ceremonies were mostly held at home, but now many people spend their coming-of-age ceremonies at companies, schools or public institutions.
On this day, the parents, colleagues, supervisors, classmates, relatives and friends of those who have reached the age of 20 must congratulate them and give them gifts. The parties concerned must also express their gratitude and announce their future plans and plans. ideal.
Ordinary Tokyo girls will wear beautiful furisode that they rent or buy on the coming-of-age day, put on exquisite makeup, and participate in ceremonies organized by school, work or local government with their friends of the same year. After the ceremony, you can go to the shrine with your peers to pay homage, take photos with your family and friends, and spend a joyful and festive day.
The members of Nogizaka are no exception, but before the usual process, their coming-of-age ceremony has an additional media participation link compared with ordinary girls.
This year is Nogizaka's first coming-of-age ceremony after debuting. Four members participated in this coming-of-age ceremony, namely Mai Shiraishi, Nana Hashimoto, Sayuri Matsumura and Mica Eto.
They first have to pay homage to a shrine of the same name near the Nogizaka Building, and then take photos with the media, talk about their thoughts and ambitions about participating in the coming-of-age ceremony, and answer some questions from the media, just like attending a small press conference.
By then, the shrine will become a Nogizaka-specific event, and there will be a large number of media workers, fans, and unrelated people around.
The name of the group brought a lot of traffic to the shrine, and in return, it was natural for Nogizaka members to reserve a spot at the shrine for a short time and have an adult ceremony.
Since 2000, the government has changed the date of Adult Day to the Monday of the second week of January every year, so the coming of age ceremony in 2013 will be on January 13th.
Three days before Coming of Age Day, the four of them secretly participated in an adult venue experience tour organized by Nogizaka's program team.
"Adult place, tsk tsk..." As soon as she heard about this plan, Amamiya Shiori's mind wandered. Shinjuku's Kabukicho, Roppongi's casino, Ginza's Mama-san, the colorful world seemed to be waving to her. To be honest, if it weren't for her age, she would have wanted to "see the world."
The four people from Shiraishi set out when it was just dark and it was still raining lightly, and they didn't come back until late at night.
"Xiao Zhi——" As soon as Shiraishi Mai entered Amamiya Zhi's room, she threw herself on her bed.
"You're back." Amamiya Shiori closed the notebook, turned around and asked, "How is the world, adults?"
"Hehe~~" Shiraishi Mai blushed and smiled happily.
"Oh? Look at your weird smile, did you... go to some strange place?" Amamiya Shiori climbed onto the bed, smiled evilly and went to tickle Shiraishi, "Speak quickly!"
"Hahaha, stop scratching, it's itchy!" Mai Shiraishi protected her waist and armpits, "I said, I said it's not okay."
Mai Shiraishi, wearing a gray cashmere jacket and black shorts, changed from lying down to sitting like a duck. Her slender legs were wrapped in slightly see-through purple pantyhose, attracting Amamiya Shiori's attention.
"Where have you gone? So happy."
"you guess?"
"A bar with many beautiful older ladies?" Amamiya Sōri leaned on the pillow at the head of the bed.
"That's half right." Shiraishi Mai came forward, sat sideways on Amamiya Shiori's lap, and hugged her neck.
"half?"
The smooth texture of the friction between bare legs and stockings tickled Amamiya Shiori's heart.
"Hey, it's the male eldest sister's bar!"
"Uh-" Amamiya Sori was a little speechless. The journey to adulthood was a little different from what she thought.
It's easy to tell the difference between ordinary male elder sisters and ordinary girls. There are quite a few differences in voice and demeanor.
In the entertainment industry, male sisters are also a very important category of entertainers.
In Japan's annual "Artist National Favorability Survey", the person who has always occupied the first place is neither our wife Yui Aragaki, Satomi Ishihara, Haruka Ayase, nor Johnny's handsome idol, but a A male elder sister who is 178cm tall and weighs 300 pounds - Songzi Deluxe.
"I'm telling you, it was so fun when those male ladies teased Sayuri." Thinking of this, Shiraishi Mai couldn't stop laughing.
"When sayinguringo~punch, that male elder sister, haha——" Shiraishi Mai described, imitating the male elder sister's tone
Mai Shiraishi's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Did the male eldest sister scream?"
"No! I'm not that shy."
The topic of chatting about male eldest sisters seemed to be magical, and Shiraishi Mai's eyebrows were filled with excitement.
"Besides the male eldest sister? What else is there?"
"By the way, there's also horse racing. We went to the racetrack in Shinagawa first, and then to the male hostess bar."
Horse racing is one of the four major gambling sports in Japan, the other three being rowing, racing and pachinko.
After pachinko, horse betting is the largest and most popular industry.
Although most people spend a little money to buy some horse racing tickets for entertainment, there are many people who actually lose their fortune betting on horses.
In a word, you can have fun, but if you hope to make money by betting on horse racing, you should just go to bed.
"So, has Mai made a profit?" Amamiya Shiori was very curious.
"No." Shiraishi Mai shook her head, "I lost 1,500 yen. The top three won one horse and got nothing."
"What about the rest?"
"Nanamin and Misa-senpai haven't celebrated their birthdays yet, so they couldn't buy them, so Sayuri and I bought them. But even though she guessed two, she still lost money.
600 yen turned into 420 yen, and you still lost money after winning two. It is too difficult to make money from this. "
Mai Shiraishi felt very sorry for her net loss of 1,500 yen.
"Of course, the multipliers are set by the banker. Unless someone is very lucky, there is a high probability that the banker and the government will make a lot of money." Amamiya Sori said with a smile. Gambling is an unfair game of probability, so it is better to play less. OK.
