Tokyo: My obsession with China led me to become the king of Japanese entertainment.
Chapter 35 A Warning of Inevitable Failure
While Tokyo was rife with tension, Akita remained peaceful and serene.
It seems that a certain trainee succubus has a lot of opinions.
"Um, Grandpa, we need to talk about something." Sakurada Jun tried his best to maintain respect for the old man.
"What I'm saying is, next time there's a strange stranger, could you please not tell him where I am so easily? It's too much trouble!" Just thinking about it gives him a headache.
Although, at least for now, the trouble caused by Hideaki Takizawa is still within his control, that unfortunate guy should be having his worldview shattered by the Kitagawa family's insects.
Don't get me wrong, at least here, the word "insect" is definitely not used to refer to Johnny Kitagawa.
However, when he thought about how Takizawa Hideaki was able to find out his whereabouts and chase him all the way to Momoto Valley just because his grandfather couldn't keep his mouth shut, Sakurada Jun felt that it was still necessary to help the old man upgrade his awareness of fraud prevention.
However, Kin'ichirō Sakurada scoffed at his earnest advice: "Nonsense! How could Yoshitsune be a bad person?"
I almost forgot about this. Jun Sakurada sighed.
As one of Japan's top national idols, one of the highlights of Hideaki Takizawa's career was in 2005 when he became the youngest male lead in a Taiga drama, starring in the Taiga drama "Yoshitsune".
His portrayal of Minamoto no Yoshitsune is widely recognized throughout Japan as the most handsome version of Yoshitsune.
National popularity... even an old man like Kinichiro Sakurada is satisfied with it.
"Fine, let's say Takizawa is famous... then why did you let those two in too?" He pointed to the side, somewhat exasperated.
There, a monkey and a short-haired girl knelt respectfully, enjoying the tea treasured by Kinichiro Sakurada.
Oh no, it can't be called a monkey head anymore. At this moment, Taka actually dyed his blond hair back to black overnight and got a proper hairstyle.
He then covered up all the dense tattoos with a long coat, instantly transforming himself from a rock-and-roll delinquent back into the reserved idol of yesteryear, albeit a bit older.
"I mainly want to talk to Grandpa Sakurada. Your vocal talent is so good, it shouldn't be buried." Takahiro Moriuchi changed his clothes and his tone became much more serious.
"You're old enough to be my uncle..."
As for Minami Hamabe... Jun Sakurada couldn't understand why this girl was hanging around his house all the time.
The other four had already returned to Tokyo, but she, on the other hand, followed Malou to her own home.
"Isn't this an invitation for you to join Toho?" Minami Hamabe said with a grin.
"Even Johnny's Entertainment is scrambling to get him. A genius like Takizawa-san personally came to recruit him. If he could join us, his future would be incredibly bright!"
"How about it, little brother, think about it?" She winked mischievously.
In Japan, Toho Architects is considered a top-tier second-tier firm in terms of size, but because it is backed by Toho and has abundant resources, its competitiveness is definitely top-tier.
However, in recent years they haven't had any particularly outstanding male artists, but their female artists have had quite a lot of resources.
If we could get Jun Sakurada to join us, it would be a good opportunity for him to develop in all aspects.
"Stop messing around, I'm being blacklisted by Johnny's." After spending time together in the valley, Jun Sakurada and Minami Hamabe had become quite familiar with each other. They were not far apart in age and had the most in common.
"You call that a ban? Even the Johnny's heir doesn't get this kind of treatment!" Hamabe rolled his eyes.
Sakurada Jun shrugged, trying to come up with an excuse for her, when suddenly his phone rang.
Upon hearing this unusual ringtone, he paused for about a second, and then an evil smile unconsciously spread across his face.
It seems that a certain club president has suffered a setback.
After saying hello and entering his room, Jun Sakurada answered the phone with a beaming smile:
"Moshi moshi? Is this our dear Vice President Takizawa? Is the meeting over? Did your firm successfully resolve the issue?"
In stark contrast to his relaxed and cheerful demeanor, Takizawa Hideaki's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with exhaustion:
"Stop joking, just like you guessed, it didn't work out."
"It didn't work out..." Jun Sakurada chuckled, his tone full of slyness:
"Tell me, how did Fujishima refute your claim?"
Hideaki Takizawa paused for two seconds, not answering directly, but instead asking, "Are you some kind of prophetic devil? How could you even guess her lines?"
"They accused me of making baseless accusations and believed that the Sakurai family's dark history was a thing of the past and that the current Sakurai Sho should not be held responsible. They said that as long as he was properly managed, nothing would happen... What they told you was almost exactly the same."
Hideaki Takizawa was truly impressed.
Jun Sakurada was genuinely delighted.
He had expected Johnny's response to be typical, but he hadn't imagined it would be this typical.
Self-hypnosis, information cocoon, shirking responsibility, shifting blame, self-deception... all the stereotypes that Chinese people have about traditional Japanese companies and Japanese tech idiots are completely embodied by Keiko Fujishima.
"Is it possible that this isn't a prophecy, but rather an accurate judgment based on the practices of Johnny's and President Fujishima over the years?"
Jun Sakurada ultimately didn't unleash his sweeping attack on all of Japan in front of Takizawa; it's far too early for that now.
"I always had this wishful thinking: 'If I think this way, then everyone else will think this way too, right?' 'Even if I don't say anything, others should be able to understand, right?'"
"We want good things, but alas, whether it's just hearsay or not, whether or not Sakurai Sho should be punished, it's not up to her to decide, it's up to China."
"Let President Fujishima explain her sophistry to the Chinese people, and let her guess whether she'll be met with their understanding and approval, or a razor blade aimed straight at her head!"
Jun Sakurada's language was sharp and sarcastic, but Hideaki Takizawa couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
Sho Sakurai's potential threat is that he could cause a major diplomatic incident, resulting in Johnny & Associates, a mere entertainment company, being blacklisted by the decision-making body of a top-tier power.
However, even if he had revealed it in advance, he still couldn't stop it all. The mother and daughter's greed, especially their greed for power and control, led them and the entire Johnny's Entertainment to jump into the fire without regard for the risks.
Hideaki Takizawa, who had been working in the upper echelons of Johnny's for over a year, felt so powerless for the first time.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Now that the outcome of the bet is obvious, shouldn't Takizawa-san consider fulfilling his promise?" Sakurada Jun grinned smugly.
"Of course, if you're worried I'll record this, we can meet in person and say that later."
That night, the two made a bet: whether Hideaki Takizawa could secure Arashi's ambassadorship.
The stakes weren't money, treasures, or any life-or-death agreement; they were simply a single sentence.
If Hideaki Takizawa loses, he will have to read this line from a Korean drama in front of Jun Sakurada.
"No need. Anyway, these are the words I want to say myself right now." Takizawa Hideaki took a deep breath, recalling the events of the meeting just now, his expression gradually turning cold and stern.
"How can you possibly raise an idol well when you're surrounded by such a bunch of worms?"
