Japanese Entertainment: A Comeback Beginning from Bankrupt President

"Live broadcast, live broadcast, you sit properly in front of the camera," Kazuya Sawashiro hurriedly pressed her back down, and then patiently explained to the viewers in front of the screen.

There is definitely enough time, without a doubt.

Gunsei had only practiced for less than 20 days, but he had already brought it out for everyone to hear. This song was the equally simple "Running Towards the Night." With Amano Aki's current level, plus Kazama Yumi's guidance, Sawashiro Kazuya thought it wouldn't take long.

The new recording studio is now ready for use, so Kazuya Sawashiro no longer needs to search the world for a recording studio.

As for the lyrics, that's even simpler.

When registering the copyright for "Gunjo" earlier, Kazuya Sawashiro had already registered the copyrights for several other songs, including a new song that was about to be released. Kazuya Sawashiro could simply use those songs directly.

Everything is ready; all that's left is for Aki Amano to finish working on the English version of Gunpao so he can start practicing the new song.

"Do you understand what I'm saying? With your skill level, you can definitely master the song before recording, so there's no need to worry about time. We'll all support you as you continue to move forward." Kazuya Sawashiro gave her a reassuring wink.

Don't worry, you're not alone anymore.

Most people would be incredibly moved at this moment.

But in front of Kazuya Sawashiro was Aki Amano, who showed no reaction to the wink, her mind solely focused on the previous sentence. She shrugged smugly and muttered to herself, "So my standards are that high after all? Hehehe..."

This is an idiot who shouldn't be praised.

Too lazy to pay attention to her, Kazuya Sawashiro pushed her back in front of the camera to complete the subsequent introduction.

...

Shortly after the live stream ended, news that Amano Aki was going to release a new song quickly stood out from other casual conversations and became a hot topic in the entertainment section.

Without the constraints of Watanabe Entertainment, it wouldn't be difficult for Aki Amano to trend on social media.

In addition to trending on the internet, an editor from a publishing house called Kazuya Sawashiro to schedule a photoshoot with Aki Amano, hoping to have Aki Amano's photo and name appear in an entertainment magazine, something she never dared to dream of before.

Both Kazuya and Sawashiro agreed and made reasonable arrangements for Aki Amano's time.

Meanwhile, Watanabe Sōta, who was reviewing a report in his office, also saw the news. He immediately realized that this was a great opportunity, but he couldn't tell his secretary directly that he wanted to do it, because he couldn't take the blame for it.

He thought for a moment, then decided to give his secretary a chance to "take the blame," asking, "When my idol group's single debuted before, he also chose that time. Now he's proactively announcing this time. What do you think his reason is?"

"I dare not speak presumptuously..." The secretary lowered his head honestly.

Everyone knows that Watanabe Souta has a bad temper, especially when it comes to Amano Aki; saying the wrong word could end the game.

In such an environment, even a fierce tiger would pretend to be a kitten.

"Hey!" Watanabe Souta feigned displeasure, leaning back and saying irritably, "Just say it when I tell you to! Isn't the job of a secretary to solve problems for those you serve? Have you ever seen a secretary who doesn't say a word?"

To be honest, he had indeed seen it, but he wouldn't be foolish enough to say it now.

The secretary walked down the steps from Watanabe Souta and shared her opinion: "According to my analysis, the previous timing clash was intentional. The other party knew that you would be busy close to the single's release and wouldn't have time to pay attention to that, so he successfully opportunized and released Amano Aki's single."

"Hmm..." Watanabe Souta perked up, protesting his innocence, "That's right, he tricked me!"

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was really wronged.

But who doesn't know that? It's just that there's no conclusive evidence against him.

"That's right, so this time he announced the time first, I think it's like this..." The secretary's analysis was very logical, and he gave his own countermeasure, "Use what the other party has done to fight back. This time we will have Yoshioka Yuko secretly release the song and keep the hot topic firmly in our own hands."

"That makes a lot of sense, but the other party is currently quite popular. If the marketing isn't done well, it could easily backfire."

"So we need to boost Yoshioka Yuko's popularity first," the secretary said, clearly aware of the issues and with a solution in mind. "Yoshioka Yuko's other side—a YouTube blogger debut, coupled with this year's Best Supporting Actress award in the second quarter—do you think she won't be able to catch up with Amano Aki by October?"

"Hahaha…"

Sōta Watanabe laughed for a while because he could do everything his secretary asked. Or rather, it was very easy for him to do.

Everyone thinks he only knows how to play tricks, but this time he'll fight fair and square!

Someone with resources and strength has no reason to lose to someone who has nothing. What happened before was just a minor skirmish. Ze Cheng and He Ye should regret getting through this hurdle, because there are even more helpless things waiting for him later.

Watanabe Souta stopped laughing, looked the refined-looking new secretary up and down, and gave him his highest praise:

"You're a really bad guy."

...

The bad guys have started to make their move, while Kazuya Sawashiro is still preparing for Aki Amano's 24-hour live broadcast project.

The day after his live stream, he tweeted to gather suggestions from fans, and that tweet immediately went viral, with fans' enthusiasm soaring as they left comments discussing wanting to see Amano Aki sleeping...

Since it's a 24-hour live stream, you definitely need to eat, sleep, and shower.

That day, Aki wasn't a robot. Even robots need to be taken back and recharged, so the bathing part is definitely not allowed to be seen. So, we can only see the sleeping face part.

What if some paranoid monster sleeps with him during the live stream and even dreams about it?

The fact that the comment asking to see her sleeping face garnered 2 likes clearly shows that there are many delusional fans among Amano Aki's fans. Therefore, Sawashiro Kazuya's suggestion to add sleeping to the live stream is also a response to the support of his fans.

"Amano, what's the longest you can sleep at a time? Fans want to see your sleeping face."

"About 18 hours..." Amano Aki stroked his chin. "Once I worked two days straight without a break, and when I got home I fell asleep in the entryway. That time I slept from dawn till midnight, at least 20 hours if not 18."

"Why is 18 older than 20?" Kazuya Sawashiro blurted out instinctively.

Sometimes he really couldn't understand how Amano Aki's brain worked, or whether it would sometimes be like a meter running backwards.

But it's good news, too. Amano Aki doesn't have sleep problems, so he should be able to fall asleep easily.

"Then let's include sleeping in it. We still have two-thirds of the time to plan..." Kazuya Sawashiro muttered to himself, scrolling through the popular comments, "Online games require a console... so let's just buy one. We can also get a good computer for the agency while we're at it. We can even do some game streaming for you later. You know, girls who can play games are really popular..."

When Kazuya Sawashiro starts working seriously, Aki Amano, who used to charm everyone with her energy, also puts away her mischievousness.
