Japanese Entertainment: A Comeback Beginning from Bankrupt President

"Then I feel our conversation can end here. You should leave the rest of the time to yourself." When you start to struggle with your thoughts, it means you've already thought of the answer; you just need to make up your mind.

Kazuya Sawashiro himself went through a similar phase.

When he's thinking about what to do but unsure whether to do it, he already knows the answer.

Right now, Yagami Hayato is probably in the same boat, because judging from his expression, he's not as confused as you might think. So giving him the time and space is the right thing to do.

"Are you going to report?" Yagami Hayato pointed to the faintly visible shadow in the room.

"Yes, I need to report this to the curious girl," Kazuya Sawashiro's voice rose, almost shouting into the room, "If I don't tell her all this, she'll smear a wet towel on my face when she wakes up in the morning."

"Hehe...please." Yagami Hayato laughed so hard he could barely stand up straight as he saw Sawashiro Kazuya off.

I can't help but laugh.

Amano Aki could never see this comical expression; only his perspective could.

"It's a bit chilly outside, you should come in soon." With that concern in mind, Kazuya Sawashiro got up and went back inside, only to bump right into Aki Amano, who was standing with his hands on his hips. He almost jumped back in fright.

"Ugh! It's too close!"

Ze Cheng was terrified, but Amano Aki remained defiant, saying, "How can I eavesdrop if I don't get closer? Can't you even figure out something this simple?"

Her peculiar logic, like the uncut rice cake she ate during the New Year, choked Sawashiro Kazuya, leaving him only able to utter incoherent cries for help despite his wide-open mouth.

Please, don't say things like that with such a domineering face. People will think you're an idiot.

"What? Is it because you said bad things about me that you can't say anything now?" Amano Aki's eyes, which saw through everything, were fixed on Sawashiro Kazuya. "Confess, I heard everything over here."

"You heard me and you still want me to say it? Am I an idiot or are you the idiot?" Kazuya Sawashiro treated her like an idiot and slipped past her.

Just as he said, the balcony was actually a bit chilly, and he happens to be the kind of person who is afraid of the cold.

The warm kotatsu remains Kazuya Sawashiro's second bed.

"You can't say that. As people get older, they can't hear very well," Amano Aki followed and crawled into the kotatsu. "I'm a 26-year-old lady now, and my hearing isn't as sharp as it was last year. You should understand."

The old lady, Amano Aki, is currently kicking Sawashiro Kazuya wildly inside the kotatsu.

It wasn't very forceful, more like a massage, but it subtly hinted at kicking him out of the kotatsu. Kazuya Sawashiro definitely wouldn't be able to sit still.

He not only kicked back but also retorted verbally, "Well, I'm a 25-year-old grandpa. Is it possible that I misspoke because I don't understand something, and you, being hard of hearing, misheard some strange noise?"

The situation changed from a one-sided beating to a brawl between two old men, and the one who got hurt the most was actually Kotatsu.

It shouldn't have been carrying so much.

The most hurtful thing is right in front of us, but the most touching thing is outside.

After Kazuya Sawashiro went inside, the curtains that blocked the view were also drawn, so he could clearly see what was happening here from his angle—a very rare scene of a young couple bickering, which struck a chord deep in Hayato Yagami's heart.

Because he is single.

However, he doesn't care, because these will all become material for his creative journey.

...

The next day, Yagami Hayato followed Amano Aki to the recording studio.

Although the theme has been confirmed to be related to love, and we've already seen rare scenes of couples bickering, to learn more about their relationship, we still need to ask people around them.

Kazama Yumi, who has always been watching them, is a great candidate.

Meanwhile, Kazuya Sawashiro also safely delivered the films needed for screening to various theaters.

As for the noise and turmoil in the world, if he doesn't want to hear it, no one will tell him. Anyway, the entertainment industry is bound to be shaken every now and then, so there's no need to care too much about who has problems.

Regardless of the circumstances, Kazuya Sawashiro is chasing after Aki Amano, the star he admires.

Whether she has a problem or not, Kazuya Sawashiro knows best.

Three days later, the film was officially released.

In this day and age, film critics are no longer as professional as they used to be.

Anyone can create an account and express their views and understanding of the film's content. Even if the account doesn't have many followers, they can still be considered a film critic.

Kato is that kind of film critic.

He doesn't work for any magazines, newspapers, or agencies, or rather, these people look down on his account with only 200 followers. But he still works tirelessly to interpret movies and always manages to be there as soon as a new film is released.

If this were his profession, he would have starved to death long ago.

So he has to work during the day and doesn't have time, so he can only buy a movie ticket for a movie starring Aki Amano at half price after he gets off work in the evening.

"The agent is a good person, he actually gave me a half-price movie ticket..." Kato exclaimed as he walked to his seat.

It was 10:30 p.m., and the venue was a small one with a capacity of 100 people.

After Kato sat down, he looked around. He didn't quite understand why there were so many people. After all, if he didn't enjoy doing movie reviews, he wouldn't have come to watch such a low-budget science fiction film.

Low cost and science fiction are obviously not related.

If a great sci-fi film could be made on a low budget, Kato would definitely add a video of him washing his hair upside down at the end of his explanation video to express his respect for the director.

You're amazing! I was blind to Mount Fuji. I'm bowing down to you.

But now, Kato can sit comfortably in his seat and wait for the movie to start.

After waiting a while, the extra lights were turned off, and the movie began.

"Tokyo Idol Music Festival, Super Popular Idols..."

"An idol... that's something Aki has never done before. Looking at it this way, her cheerful personality is really suitable." Kato smiled knowingly. It was a real pity that the name Amano Aki didn't appear at such a lively festival in reality.

But he immediately became serious, because he was there to write a review.

These rudimentary stages reveal low-cost elements; where is the science fiction label?

With these questions in mind, Kato continued reading.

The festival's camera panned backstage, where a man, presumably her manager (Kazuya Sawashiro), patted her (Aki Amano) on the shoulder excitedly and said, "It's you again! The atmosphere today is especially lively. Who would have thought that just six months ago you were a shy child who would blush in front of the camera..."

Upon hearing the lines, Kato, a seasoned film enthusiast, immediately realized that the change made six months prior would be crucial.

As expected, the camera immediately follows the female protagonist's perspective, returning to that shy time six months ago, when the science fiction that Kato was waiting for finally arrived.
