Tokyo: My obsession with China led me to become the king of Japanese entertainment.

"I wish we could have this kind of popularity every day." After the broadcast, looking at the absolutely exaggerated data, Jun Sakurada's smile was bright and sunny.

If it weren't for the fact that he was already wearing a mask, he would probably have been stared at cautiously by passersby.

Chicken Bro truly lives up to his name; this level of popularity... it's amazing!

The previous teaser video garnered over ten million views, and today's live stream jumped to number one on the site's category chart.

While there are objective reasons such as the lack of top streamers on Ruizhan and the fact that there aren't many people streaming at this time, it's enough to show how much Jun Sakurada has capitalized on this wave of popularity.

With his fan count increasing by over 10,000 per day for several consecutive days, Jun Sakurada earned in just a few days the popularity and revenue that he had painstakingly accumulated over several months.

As for monetization, it's quite easy. Jun Sakurada has already distributed the free CD keys for "Yokai Survivor" to almost all the well-known game streamers on major domestic platforms, especially in the indie and single-player game sections.

Presumably, they wouldn't refuse to do a review or live stream of a game that sells well, is of high quality, and has recently gained a lot of popularity.

Looking at his phone, Sakurada Jun had unknowingly wandered to Nogizaka Station. Not far away was the Nogizaka SME building, the birthplace of the legendary idol group Nogizaka46.

However, this is not Jun Sakurada's destination today.

Take a bus from Nogizaka Station, transfer at Shibuya Station, and arrive at Ekoda Ward in about half an hour.

After circling around for a while following the navigation, a rather avant-garde school gate came into view, with eight large characters written on it:

Faculty of Arts, University of Japan.

Jun Sakurada has excellent eyesight and spotted at a glance a chubby boy standing at the school gate. He wore big glasses and had a messy, frizzy haircut, and was looking around.

He smiled and waved in that direction. The chubby boy's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he quickly ran over, asking, "Is that Sakurada-kun?"

"Just call me Jun, Vaundy-kun. Your school has a really nice vibe," Sakurada Jun replied with a light laugh as he took off his mask.

The chubby boy called Vaundy looked him up and down, his small eyes gleaming with amazement: "No wonder Johnny's took a liking to you. You really went to their audition and performed that lousy K-pop song?"

"What else? Anyway, I have no interest in the entertainment industry, so what's the big deal if I go all out with the pranks?" Jun Sakurada said noncommittally.

"What a pity..." Vaundy clicked his tongue in admiration, "With your looks and voice, it's a waste that you're not in the entertainment industry."

"What's wrong with that? I earn more making games than most entertainers these days!"

Jun Sakurada scoffed, glanced at Vaundy a couple of times, and then suddenly flashed a sly smile:

"But you, if you ever make it big in the music industry, don't forget you promised to write a song for my new game."

Vaundy took it as wishful thinking and replied casually, "That depends on whether I can make it big."

Jun Sakurada smiled without saying a word.

It's early spring of 2019, and the chubby guy in front of me hasn't released "Tokyo Flash" yet, the song that made him famous. There's no name called Vaundy on the altar of J-pop for the time being.

But it won't be long before this chubby boy uses his exceptional talent to carve out his own niche in the booming world of Japanese pop music.

Vaundy, one of the two genius solo male singers of the Reiwa era in Japanese music, became a sensation in his early twenties with many famous songs such as "Odoriko", "Tokyo Flush" and "Fukushiki".

In his early twenties, he had already achieved the lifelong dreams of countless Japanese musicians, including Budokan, five-dome tours, and Kohaku Uta Gassen.

Before Jun Sakurada's time travel, there were four songs in the entire Japanese music scene that had surpassed a staggering one billion streams.

"Pretender" by official mustachioed dism, YOASOBI's "夜に駆ける", Yuri's "ドライフラワー",

And finally, Vaundy's "Kaiju no Hana-Uta".

Even though Jun Sakurada wasn't particularly interested in the Japanese entertainment industry before his transmigration, he had heard of this genius fat man's songs and had some impression of him.

After regaining his memory, when he accidentally discovered Vaundy, who was still an ordinary singer on YouTube, he quickly realized that she would be a valuable connection.

So he quickly approached Vaundy as an independent game developer and asked him to help create a catchy background music for Yokai Survivor.

This reason sounds a bit lame. As a game that relies entirely on gameplay to attract players, Yokai Survivor doesn't really need to put much effort into its background music.

It sounds rather strange to have a singer write a pixel-style song.

But coincidentally, not long after starting university, Vaundy, who had previously been active as a cover singer, had just caught the attention of Stardust agency and was preparing to transition into a singer-songwriter.

Just as he was gearing up to write some original songs to prove his creative abilities, he happened to run into Jun Sakurada, who came to him asking him to write songs.

Although it's a pixel-style theme song, it's still a form of recognition for him.

Moreover, Jun Sakurada was indeed generous with his money. Even though Vaundy was still an unknown at the time, he was willing to pay Vaundy the same prices as established music studios on the market.

More importantly, he also bolded Vaundy's stage name in bold on the game that Vaundy was obsessed with for quite some time, Yokai Survivor.

With such courtesy, and given that they were both young and had compatible personalities and interests, Vaundy, who was not yet nineteen, and Jun Sakurada, who was not yet sixteen, quickly became friends.

This time, besides his grandfather, the only other person who knew about Jun Sakurada's trip to Tokyo was the chubby boy in front of him.

He plans to use Vaundy's excellent musical knowledge to do a music appreciation episode of "Just Because You're Too Beautiful".

Not only can they ride the wave of popularity now, but when Vaundy becomes famous and successful in the future, this video will definitely be brought up and talked about repeatedly. After all, this is the first appearance of a future Japanese music legend on the Chinese Internet.

Even Jun Sakurada doesn't need to worry about being targeted by a boomerang in the future. After all, even if Kun Ge manages to initially clear his name with the song "Deadman,"

In terms of musical achievement, he is far from qualified to carry Vaundy's shoes.

After a brief chat, having just settled his sales payment with Steam, the wealthy Jun Sakurada was about to take the chubby boy out for a nice meal when suddenly his phone rang.

Upon opening it, I found that I had never seen the phone number before.

The two exchanged a glance, and Sakurada Jun took the initiative to turn on speakerphone.

The voice from the other end made him pause for a moment:

"Moshi moshi? Is that Sakurada-kun? It's Takizawa from Johnny & Associates! Where are you right now?"

"Oh dear, the interview isn't even completely over yet, why are you leaving already?"
