Japanese Entertainment: A Comeback Beginning from Bankrupt President

"Come on, come on, fly on fire, fly on the road..."

After Kazuya Sawashiro finished speaking about nothingness, Aki Amano's unique singing voice pierced through the noisy crowd and entered his body.

Kazuya Sawashiro's world is not empty; there is actually another person in it.

"Amano's singing is really good," Kazuya Sawashiro relaxed, half-jokingly asking Yumi Kazama, "Speaking of which, Yumi-nee, do you think Amano will be able to successfully cross this fire and get to where she wants to go?"

"With Kazuya by her side to help her, she'll definitely be able to manage," Kazama Yumi said with a relieved smile, regarding Sawashiro Kazuya as the kind of reliable person.

He will definitely be there, but she won't.

Yamada, the chief agent who left Akadon Productions, reported Sawashiro Kazuya's interpersonal relationships to the higher-ups at Watanabe Entertainment, and Watanabe Entertainment called him.

"If President Sawashiro brings Amano Aki to our door, don't forget to report it."

For Yumi Kazama, her recording studio was like an ant encountering an elephant compared to the massive Watanabe Entertainment.

Therefore, Watanabe Entertainment used Kazuya Sawashiro's future in the recording studio as a threat, forcing her to report on what Kazuya Sawashiro was currently doing. This was clearly an act of betrayal, and Kazama Yumi had no choice but to comply when she was not prepared to retaliate.

All she could do was respond to Watanabe Entertainment's requests with half-truths.

In retrospect, she is not a good candidate for lying.

But it's alright, the clumsy lie will soon be exposed, and everything will come to an end then.

With a gentle smile, Kazama Yumi bid farewell to Sawashiro Kazuya: "Sorry, I still have some work to do at the recording studio. After the roadshow here, please bring her to the recording studio. I consulted with other music producers and have some professional advice for her to hear."

"I understand. I'll take her upstairs once this is over." Kazuya Sawashiro did not try to stop her.

Some things, if you don't know when to ask, will never get you an answer.

Kazama Yumi left with a smile.

After she left, the curious instructor came over and cautiously asked what had happened: "Are you all alright? I felt something was off over there."

A perceptive woman.

"No, we were just talking about something very serious," Kazuya Sawashiro said with a bright smile, pointing to Yumi Kazama as she walked away and introducing her: "That's a professional music producer. We just had a serious discussion about Amano's singing."

"Here? In the bustling streets of Shibuya? This place is only suitable for waiting for someone."

She was a bit superficial, only thinking that this place was suitable for meeting up with friends, since it was the Hachiko statue that everyone knew about.

Basically, people who come to Shibuya for the first time will meet here.

So Amano Aki's singing really attracted a lot of passersby who were waiting for someone. After all, they were just waiting around anyway, so they might as well come over and listen to a song.

"We were just waiting for someone," Kazuya Sawashiro pointed to the passersby who had stopped and were standing there. "Those people who don't know where they're going yet, that's the people we were waiting for, and we've finally met them, haven't we?"

The instructor followed the direction of Kazuya Sawashiro's hand and saw that a large number of people had indeed gathered there, including police officers who had come looking for the commotion.

However, Amano Aki had just received the application that morning. After the police checked it and confirmed it was correct, they stood aside, listening to music and maintaining order to ensure that no stampede would occur.

"If you're going to look at it from that perspective... then that's true," the teacher, unable to argue with Kazuya Sawashiro, immediately helped him recall what had just happened, "Let's not talk about that. Didn't you have something left unsaid earlier, something about the ban?"

"You still remember?" Kazuya Sawashiro was a little surprised, but he regretted it as soon as he said it.

The teacher who overheard this immediately frowned and said irritably, "I'm still young, not at the point where I can forget things so easily. Do you know how rude your unconscious words were to a young woman?"

"I'm sorry..." Kazuya Sawashiro clasped his hands together in apology.

Knowing something is one thing, but sometimes we say things unconsciously without really thinking about them.

"Tch..." Considering that it was Ze Cheng's first offense, the teacher only glared at him before returning to normal. "You've ruined my mood for listening to your nonsense. Do you have anything else to say? If not, I have to go on my date."

"Don't rush, don't rush, there's another very important thing I need to ask you, teacher."

"..."

The teacher's smile froze on her face.

She was just being polite. Do you really have something to ask her?

"teacher?"

"Speak your mind." The teacher's tone was somewhat unfriendly, but she remained where she was.

Seeing this, Kazuya Sawashiro didn't hesitate and got straight to the point: "It's too much trouble for me to go to each of the hundred high schools one by one, so I'd like to ask a teacher in the education field to do me a small favor and practice with the dance departments of other schools to see if their members would be willing to join."

"...You really dare to say that!" The teacher said through gritted teeth.

Can this be called a small favor?

You think this is just one high school? It's dozens, even hundreds of high schools! If her connections are that extensive... wait, does she really have that many connections? But how did Ze Cheng Kazuya know that?

After a moment's thought, the teacher had the answer in mind. She tentatively asked Kazuya Sawashiro, "Did that guy tell you?"

"That guy?" Kazuya Sawashiro blinked innocently. "Is the teacher talking about the homeroom teacher?"

"Are you going to play dumb now?"

The teacher's scrutinizing gaze fell on Kazuya Sawashiro, determined to see through all his lies.

But neither Kazuya nor Sawashiro was lying, so why would he be afraid of that look?

"I'm not pretending to be stupid, I'm seriously asking you for help, teacher," Kazuya Sawashiro said, showing no fear on his face as he looked confidently at the teacher scrutinizing him. "Teacher, you're the instructor of the dance club, so if I want to ask everyone in the dance club for help, I need to get your permission first."

At this point, Kazuya Sawashiro asked his teacher a crucial question: "Teacher, do you know how far a typical high school student's social network can extend?"

"Ah... I don't understand."

"Then I'll risk being a teacher today!" Kazuya Sawashiro snapped his fingers, shamelessly giving a lesson to his mentor. "Actually, we've all underestimated high school students. Their interpersonal relationships are far more complex than we imagine."

To put it simply, the people I know most closely are my classmates and colleagues, whom I see every day. If any of my classmates attend tutoring classes, I'll also get to know other people in those classes.

What about those further back in time? Like classmates from middle school, childhood friends, and various friends you've met online.

One is near and one is far, together they form a high school student's social circle.

Perhaps a former high school classmate is in the dance club, perhaps a classmate from cram school also likes to dance, perhaps your deskmate knows members of the dance club from another school... Teacher, don't you think that with their help, I can quickly gather members from 100 high schools?"

I understand now, I understand completely.

It turns out that she wasn't after the teacher's father, who worked in the education commission, but rather after the interpersonal relationships among the members.

"So, teacher? Are you willing...?"

"Wait a minute..." The teacher raised her hand to stop Kazuya Sawashiro, then turned to the students and soon pulled over a bewildered female student. "I agree, so you can tell the students that this Misaki Tachibana is a senior high school student and is respected in the department. Her words carry more weight than mine, the teacher."
