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

(Oops, I miscalculated the year of Shindo Amane's enrollment. She should have been in the class of 2020, but I wrote it as the class of 2019... Let's just call it a time warp.)

Orochi... Jun Sakurada was filled with awe.

The heir of the Xiangshe Society, the four protectors and one supporter of Ma Xiluo, a womanizer and love-struck idiot, a strong contender for the worst lead singer of Bondori, and even the Yang Palace Consort is inferior to him...

Without a doubt, it's a demon pill.

"I almost forgot, you probably haven't heard of Hibiki Co., Ltd." Minami Hamabe saw Jun Sakurada's stunned expression and assumed that the latter had never heard of Hibiki Co., Ltd., so she was about to give him a brief introduction.

"I've heard of it, the voice actor agency under Bushiroad." Jun Sakurada nodded with a smile, feeling a little sentimental.

Bushido... The CEO of this company, Kitani Takaaki, is probably the person most likely to resonate with Sakurada Junki in the Chinese market in the next few years.

After all, as a large comprehensive ACG business company, Bushiroad's core business, the two-dimensional band idol project "Bangdream", has always been in a lukewarm state in Japan, just sitting on the sidelines.

Until 2023, the latest installment in the series, Mygo, unexpectedly and forcefully opened up the Chinese market, showing Old Deng what mysterious Eastern power was all about.

Bands like Mygo and Ave_Mujica, who are just sitting on a neon-lit street, could easily sell out the Mercedes-Benz Arena for two consecutive days in China, with tickets being snapped up as soon as they're released.

It's worth noting that even veteran Japanese voice actors like Kenshi Yonezu, ONE OK ROCK, and RADWIMPS, who have a similarly strong influence in China, don't sell tickets as easily as these voice actors.

Of course, there are countless Japanese projects that have suddenly become popular in China for various reasons, and one appears almost every now and then.

However, among the creators of these projects, very few possess the mindset and awareness of Kitani Takaaki, and are truly able to reap such immense wealth.

Realizing the potential for profit, they immediately and actively promoted their expansion into China, researched the preferences of Chinese fans, and promoted collaborative efforts. When their voice actors caused trouble, they did not hesitate to arm themselves to protect the Chinese market.

Aside from the fact that Mujica's animation turned out to be a mess, Kitani Takaaki did everything a company that wanted to make money from the Chinese market should do.

That alone is enough to make Jun Sakurada think highly of him.

"Speaking of which, theoretically speaking, could I possibly take over Miyata-senpai's job in a few years?"

Jun Sakurada suddenly remembered something interesting.

Jun Sakurada's senior, Toshiya Miyata, a member of Kis-My-Ft2, a top-tier Johnny's group, also works as a voice actor in addition to being an idol.

Among them, he voiced the male protagonist of Bushiroad's TCG card anime "Cardfight!! Vanguard".

And in Bangdream! It's Mygo!, Takamatsu Akari's biological father, Takamatsu Yuji.

Considering that by 2023, Kissing Feet's total record sales had already exceeded ten million,

It's no exaggeration to say that even if you add up the sales of all ten bands under the Bondoly project and multiply by five, it still might not equal the sales of Penguin's father alone.

In this timeline, now that Jun Sakurada has arrived... it might be worth considering taking this job, since Toshiya Miyata certainly wouldn't care about such a low voice actor salary.

After all, Jun Sakurada is also envious of Bondori's popularity in China...

"You know him...that saves me trouble. Speaking of which, Nakata will probably be your classmate, right?"

Hamabe Minami didn't think much of it, assuming that Sakurada Jun had gained some understanding of Bushido through channels such as cards or other means.

"Perhaps," Jun Sakurada replied casually.

Although he was very interested in Bushido, he had no intention of provoking someone like Shindo Amane, who was considered a demon.

Who would want to provoke a creature known as Yamata no Orochi?

Seeing that Jun Sakurada showed little interest in Amane Shindo, Minami Hamabe stopped talking about it and instead began discussing Horikoshi's alumni and school history.

From her, Sakurada Jun learned that of the six celebrities he had encountered that day, Kamiki Ryunosuke, Yoshitaka Yuriko, and Hamabe Minami were all graduates of Horikoshi High School.

Although Taka himself is a student at Keio University, the guitarist Toru and bassist Ryota in his band ONE OK ROCK are both from Horikoshi.

It was precisely because of this relationship that Minami Hamabe was able to infiltrate Taka and Takeru Satoh's network of connections and attend the valley party that was disrupted by the bear.

It can only be said that schools like Horikoshi have so many famous alumni who are spread across almost all entertainment agencies in Tokyo, and their relationships with each other are intricate and form a huge network.

While they were chatting, the two of them had already wandered to the entrance of the principal's office.

Just then, the door was pushed open from the inside, and a somewhat shy girl slowly walked out. She was stunned when she saw Sakurada Jun chatting and laughing with Hamabe Minami.

Although Horikoshi High School is known as a star-making factory and produces many handsome men and beautiful women, at least I haven't seen anyone as handsome as Jun Sakurada.

Jun Sakurada didn't notice Mayu Nakata's attention, but even if he did, he would probably just keep his distance.

There's nothing we can do; we can't afford to mess with the Yamata no Orochi.

Seeing that she had already come out, he immediately prepared his materials, said a brief goodbye to Hamabe Minami, and knocked on the door to enter the office.

Nakata Mayu reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

If I go into the principal's office at this time... will I be a classmate in the future?

Thinking this, Nakata Mayu suddenly noticed Hamabe Minami, who was about to leave, out of the corner of her eye, and for a moment she didn't recognize the popular actress.

Nakata Mayu, who was later dubbed "the heir of Hibiki Club" by fans, quickly spoke up: "Senpai! May I ask who that student was?"

Minami Hamabe didn't think too much about it. After pondering for about a second, she suddenly remembered something interesting.

Jun Sakurada was personally invited back to Johnny's by Hideaki Takizawa, who was a trusted confidant of Johnny Kitagawa. So, rounding down...

"He, you could say he's the grandson of Johnny's?" Minami Hamabe casually replied.

Nakata Mayu paused, then her gaze suddenly cleared...

……

The enrollment process went very smoothly, or rather, there were absolutely no obstacles.

Johnny's brand is especially powerful in a star-making factory like Horikoshi, so much so that the principal, who had just been ambiguous about Nakata Mayu, instantly switched to an extremely enthusiastic smile when he saw Sakurada Jun.

Once the process is completed and the seal is affixed, the enrollment process is considered finished.

"Well then, welcome Sakurada-kun, now a member of Horikoshi High School!" The principal said with a broad smile.

With such excellent qualities and the backing of a top-tier agency, it seems Horikoshi is about to produce another top alumnus.

Sakurada Jun casually thanked him, packed his things, put on a mask and sunglasses, and started walking out.

The troubles at school are temporarily behind him, but there's still a mountain of work waiting for him at the law firm...
