Japanese Entertainment: A Comeback Beginning from Bankrupt President

Kazuya Sawashiro believes that describing them as partners is appropriate.

Hayato Yagami satisfied his curiosity, but he still had many questions in his mind, waiting for Kazuya Sawashiro to answer them.

"Best partner...that doesn't sound like I'm really needed, so you still want to crush your rivals, don't you?" If there's no need for him to exist, then being a lyricist behind the scenes isn't so bad, after all, Yagami Hayato doesn't have any dreams.

He just wanted to live the rest of his days quietly, like an ordinary person, earning this decent salary.

Simply put, he didn't want to get involved in anything strange.

Kazuya Sawashiro understood his thoughts but did not accept them. However, since Hayato Yagami was still willing to listen to him, he was willing to explain to him: "Listen, buddy, our group does not have anyone else, but I do not need you to help us."

I invited you to write and sing songs for yourself. You could certainly interpret this as revenge against Watanabe Entertainment, but I don't think so. It's just asking you to do something appropriate, perhaps something you've always wanted to do.

When we were setting up a recording studio with a university band, Kazuya Sawashiro talked to them a lot.

Why do these things? What if we don't get recognition? What are we really pursuing? They've talked a lot about these kinds of questions.

Among all these explanations, the one that Kazuya Sawashiro heard most often was simply "love".

Because of their love for music, they never lose hope and are full of expectations for the future, dreaming of one day performing for the world on stage. This is not an isolated case, but the thought of many music lovers.

What a wonderful vision it is to let everyone hear their voice.

The man in front of him, Yagami Hayato, kept emphasizing that he did not want to get involved in the conflict, but that did not mean that he was a person who did not desire anything. Sawashiro Kazuya felt that he still had his own ideas about music, but he might lack a little confidence.

Before this, he had been keeping his head down the whole time.

After he had processed the information, Kazuya Sawashiro dropped another bombshell: "To be honest, I already have photos of Yoshioka Yuko staying overnight at a male celebrity's residence. That male celebrity is a notorious playboy. As long as I send these photos to Bunshun, I can deal a serious blow to Yoshioka Yuko in an instant."

So if I wanted to get revenge through you, I would never have invited you, even if you had a verbal agreement to cooperate. But with a little patience, I can find clues, and at that point you won't even know I was behind it.

The means may be illegal, but the result will certainly be just.

Yuko Yoshioka is branded a fraud and ostracized by the music industry, while Hayato Yagami, who helped her, is also ostracized by industry insiders.

This is only natural, even if he is a genius.

Talent is priceless, while transactions are filthy.

...

Kazuya Sawashiro's words silenced Hayato Yagami, because they resonated with him deeply.

After learning that it was his confession, just as Kazuya Sawashiro said, it would have been easy to find evidence, but he didn't do that. Instead, he came over and, as a fellow human being, tried to dissuade him from doing so.

Ultimately, everyone has selfish motives, but some people only think of themselves.

Kazuya Sawashiro's ulterior motives were clear to Hayato Yagami: he wanted to persuade Kazuya and put Yuko Yoshioka in a dilemma.

Everyone knows how serious the problem is that singer-songwriters can't write new songs, and they also know what the problem is when the lyrics don't match the original, because everyone's lyrics are unique, and no matter how hard an imitator tries, they will be seen through.

Since Yagami Hayato did this, Watanabe Entertainment couldn't do anything about it.

Hiring someone else to be a ghostwriter is a double-edged sword. If you get hurt, you can only cry out in pain yourself. You can't go around asking for comfort from the world. Asking for comfort will only damage your reputation. No one would do something so foolish.

With his brows furrowed, Yagami Hayato thought for a long time but still did not respond to Sawashiro Kazuya's invitation, nor did he directly refuse Sawashiro Kazuya.

"You understand, this is not something that can be decided in a short time, so I hope you can give me some time to think about it."

He was a little conflicted because Kazuya Sawashiro's suggestion was also good, and he was that genius creator. Hayato Yagami thought that he and Kazuya Sawashiro would have a lot to talk about.

"Of course, but I hope you can keep this a secret. I'm not ready to be in the spotlight yet." Kazuya Sawashiro was referring to his other identity.

This is even more troublesome than Watanabe Entertainment, because Watanabe Entertainment is not as terrifying to Kazuya Sawashiro as it used to be.

It's like when you're playing a fighting game and the boss suddenly shows up with a health bar, making you think about how easy it would be to win.

As everyone knows, you can fight as long as you have a health bar.

Therefore, for Kazuya Sawashiro, the revelation of his identity is far more terrifying than facing the pressure from Watanabe Entertainment, because it would truly affect his current life. So Kazuya Sawashiro hopes that Hayato Yagami can keep it a secret for the time being, until Kazuya Sawashiro himself decides to tell.

"No problem, I can agree to this small favor," Yagami Hayato nodded in agreement, then asked half-jokingly, "After the New Year's trip, you've already attracted a lot of attention, so why are you still afraid of this?"

The recent high-speed travel show was seen by everyone with internet access, including Hayato Yagami.

Kazuya Sawashiro became a celebrity, and even had his own fan club, all eagerly anticipating his debut in the entertainment industry. This was all something that Hayato Yagami witnessed.

Doesn't it seem contradictory that this person says they don't want attention?

Kazuya Sawashiro understood his implication and smiled, explaining, "That's just to keep Amano's channel active. As you probably know, I work behind the scenes most of the time and don't appear in front of the camera."

Come on, our agency only needs one artist, Aki Amano. We don't need any more.

"Oh... just to liven things up~" Yagami Hayato didn't expose Sawashiro Kazuya, who was being very lively in front of the camera.

In his opinion, Ze Chenghe also enjoys being in front of the camera, just like in that video of them going on a trip.

"That's right, this is a necessary move for account operation in order to keep the account active."

Kazuya Sawashiro seemed to be lying, but that was normal. Hayato Yagami understood him, but he had to leave soon because it was almost time for him to go to work.

He stood up and said goodbye to Kazuya Sawashiro: "I feel like we have a lot to talk about, but I have to go back to work soon, so how about we add each other on Line and chat again next time?"

"I think so too," Kazuya Sawashiro said, taking out his phone and showing his Line QR code. "And if possible, I'd like you to give me a nice nickname, like 'The Best Manager in the World'."

"...You know, this is the first time we've met today." Yagami Hayato couldn't quite handle Sawashiro Kazuya's abrupt request.

Why did you say that yourself?
