Japanese Entertainment: A Comeback Beginning from Bankrupt President

The two still managed to have a long talk, but it took place outside.

Sawashiro didn't take a shower either. He just took the leftovers from the office and some yuzu vinegar that had just been sent from Yamaguchi, made a pot of bibimbap for Amano Aki, and then lured her out of her room.

Can a person not eat?

The so-called week of the Cold War was just a matter of not getting over that hurdle.

Once you accept Kazuya Sawashiro's apology, then joking around isn't a big deal, as long as he doesn't make such jokes in front of strangers or cameras.

Amano Aki was eating, while Sawashiro Kazuya was talking about their plans for the next couple of days.

"We're going to Yamaguchi to film a commercial on Friday. I've put the script on your desk. You can familiarize yourself with it over the next couple of days so you won't feel so awkward on set. You can put everything else aside for now."

"Have you read the plan? It's not some weird commercial, is it?" Amano Aki asked with some concern.

However, her worry was completely unnecessary.

This plan must have been reviewed by Kazuya Sawashiro and deemed acceptable before the agency officially issued the schedule for Aki Amano to depart. As Aki Amano's manager who firmly stands by her side, Kazuya Sawashiro would certainly not do anything to damage her image or interests.

The two of them are in a relationship where they share both prosperity and adversity.

Seeing her so worried, Kazuya Sawashiro's playful side kicked in, and he told her seriously with a straight face, "It's a rather strange commercial. They want you to play a grapefruit, and then be processed by a machine and put into a glass bottle to become a product. It's a rather whimsical commercial, and there are quite a few bloody scenes."

"..."

Even though he guessed that Kazuya Sawashiro was joking, Aki Amano didn't find it particularly funny.

She crossed her chopsticks, making a disapproving gesture, and said coldly, "78 points. I don't find it funny at all, it's even a bit boring. You should go back and watch another ten years' worth of jokes before you compete again."

The humor comes from a variety show featuring comedians, and with ten years of training, Kazuya Sawashiro must be able to deliver some decent lame jokes.

Amano Aki imitated the scoring segment of the Manzai Comedy Competition. You can tell from her sharp comments that she was imitating the well-known Kansai Empress, who was the only female judge on the judging panel.

When it comes to acting, Amano Aki is definitely more professional.

However, when it comes to showing support, Kazuya Sawashiro's nickname "Kanto Support Prince" is a joke, but it doesn't affect his willingness to show support.

"Please, give me another chance. I've worked so hard to get to this stage. I carry the hopes of the entire village on my back. Everyone is waiting for me to return with honors. The 89-year-old village chief won't close his eyes until I go back..."

"...34 points."

Amano Aki couldn't help but give it an extremely low score again.

If this were a competition, Kazuya Sawashiro would definitely be the first to be eliminated, but then again, there wouldn't be anyone as boring as him in a formal competition.

After receiving a series of low scores, Kazuya Sawashiro stopped arguing and gave her a reassuring answer with a smile: "Don't worry, I've checked it all. There's nothing wrong with the costumes and lines, and the flow is very relaxed. There are no inappropriate elements."

"You're always laughing and joking when it comes to serious matters. I really don't understand you."

...

On Friday, the two of them set off with their cameras.

As part of documenting her wonderful life, filming her first commercial for fans lets them know that her efforts have paid off, and that Amano Aki will be even happier if everyone continues to support her.

It's basically that everyone buys the grapefruit vinegar she endorses?

One bottle costs 330 yen, and if you buy 10 bottles at once, it will only cost 3,300 yen. Even if you bring them home, they won't complain, because once you've tried them, you'll feel that it's worth it. You might even receive thanks from your parents.

The child has grown up and now knows how to buy seasonings.

With such heartfelt wishes, Kazuya Sawashiro's camera captured the entire filming process.

From arriving at the scene to changing clothes... no photos were allowed during the change, but you could see Amano Aki doing her makeup, watch how she styled those two mischievous eyebrows, and hear her recommending cosmetics.

This is truly a valuable video for learning. Hopefully, people who are struggling with how to do makeup will be able to choose the right cosmetics for themselves after watching it.

Next came the official filming of the commercial.

Amano Aki plays a girl who is terrible at cooking... This shouldn't be acting, it should be her true self. Anyway, she encountered a lot of difficulties when cooking, but fortunately, she had this yuzu vinegar by her side. In the end, she successfully discovered the wonderful uses of the yuzu vinegar and took it with her to various parts of the world.

You can use it when mixing rice, when grilling meat, when you don't have much of an appetite, or when preparing dinner for your loved one.

That sour taste, isn't it just an expression of my mood?

The filming lasted for two days.

The first day was for filming a commercial to be shown on Yamaguchi TV, and the second day was for filming a commercial to be shown on YouTube and Amano Aki's channel. Different places had different requirements, but Amano Aki, who was well prepared, handled them with ease.

Since they were already there, the two of them spent another day in the mountain pass.

However, this time it wasn't just for fun; it was at the request of Kazuya Kazawa that we were filming a documentary about the birth of yuzu vinegar.

As the first company to extend an olive branch, it's only right that we put in extra effort.

By having Aki Amano as the protagonist and leading the camera to tell the story of the birth of yuzu vinegar, viewers of this documentary will surely feel more confident in the quality of the product and their willingness to buy it will be further enhanced.

Conversely, this also serves as a reminder to factories to prioritize food safety and not disappoint everyone.

The three-day trip was anything but easy.

But the worst was yet to come. Amano Aki hadn't written a single word of the ending, and she only had three days left to write it. At the current rate, she was definitely doomed.

But Kazuya Sawashiro had no time to care about her feelings, because Takuya Kurosaki suddenly returned from South Korea and brought Kazuya Sawashiro some news that was neither good nor bad.

"I found a former employee of that nightclub, and he said that the nightclub was divided into two areas: one was the normally open area, and the other was the VIP area where the problems were previously exposed."

He was in charge of the VIP area. He said that many celebrities went to that store, including young celebrities from South Korea, Dongda University next door, and our area.

He hadn't seen Yuko Yoshioka while he was on duty, but his colleagues had.

I contacted his colleague and confirmed the information, but even celebrities' phones are confiscated in the VIP area, so there's no photographic evidence.

"That's a pity..." Kazuya Sawashiro said with some regret.

If there were photographic evidence, it would definitely be a heavy blow to Yuko Yoshioka and Watanabe Entertainment.

However, now that we know she went there, it confirms our previous guesses: this seemingly innocent celebrity isn't as innocent as we thought; she's just very good at pretending.

Kurosaki Takuya had the same expression, but he didn't forget his work. "It is indeed a pity, so I came back from there to keep an eye on Yoshioka Yuko's schedule. A cat that steals fish will always slip up eventually."
