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

Hiroshi Nagano didn't respond to Jun Sakurada's words immediately; he was just staring blankly at the contents of his laptop.

Those are discussions about Ultraman Tiga on various video platforms, which were captured by Jun Sakurada and translated into Japanese.

Some discussions revolve around Tiga's character design, his fighting prowess, his strengths and weaknesses, and what happened to the actor who played Tiga back then.

But more than anything, it's memories and longing.

Seeing the comment that "Nagano Hiroshi is either in a car accident or on his way to one," he was somewhat taken aback: "Wasn't my car accident over ten years ago?"

The story of Hiroshi Nagano, the "car accident hero," isn't entirely fabricated, as he did indeed experience a rear-end collision ten years ago, though no one was injured.

"It's because you never come back to the Olympic arena. In the early years, information wasn't as readily available in China, so they could only guess at your current situation through the news. And the only recent news they could see about you was that car accident."

Jun Sakurada shrugged:

"Thus, the rumors about Hiroshi Nagano's car accident were updated year after year and brought up day after day, until they were replaced by new versions of the story in recent years when streaming media and social media became more developed and information flowed freely."

"That is, the so-called Jennis Card contract."

More than a decade has passed, and now that the younger generation in the Oku series increasingly values ​​selling nostalgia, almost all the human hosts have a massive number of comeback records in the Oku series.

However, Tiga is the one who left the deepest impression on Chinese children and is the most indispensable. Apart from the original Ultra Eight Brothers, there is no record of him returning.

"In the end... it's because they miss you..."

After listening, Nagano Hiroshi didn't reply, still staring at the comments. After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "I see..."

That smile contained emotion, surprise, a kind of overwhelming happiness and pride, but more than anything, it was tenderness towards the children who still remembered him and thought of him.

"Hiroshi is shy!" Masayuki Sakamoto joked.

"Those are over a hundred million children who love him! Anyone would be ashamed in that situation!" Inohara Yoshihiko made an exaggerated gesture, his tone tinged with envy, but mostly with admiration.

If everyone were in their early twenties, full of youthful vigor, they might feel a little envious of Nagano Hiroshi's sudden surge in popularity.

But V6 is different. They've been around for 24 years, and everyone there is practically a 50-year-old veteran. What kind of glory haven't they seen? What kind of triumph haven't they enjoyed?

This group has produced movie stars, stage play stars, variety show veterans, and top hosts, so what's wrong with producing another national icon in neighboring China?

As the most united group within Johnny's Entertainment, with the fewest scandals and the most harmonious relationships among its members, they only feel that their good brothers have made something of themselves.

The only regret is that I should have gone to the Ultraman Tiga set to join in the fun back then.

After all, Tsuburaya Productions, which had some spare cash back then, originally really intended to put the entire V6 team into Ultraman Tiga's defense force.

"I understand." Nagano Hiroshi stood up very solemnly, picked up the laptop with both hands, and handed it back to Sakurada Jun. Then, to everyone's surprise, he bowed slightly to Sakurada Jun.

"Thank you for telling me all this, letting me know that there are so many people waiting for me." Hiroshi Nagano's gratitude was absolutely genuine.

"Why thank me? If you want to thank someone, thank yourself for perfectly portraying the character of Daigo more than 20 years ago, and for maintaining a good reputation for so long."

"And those sincere and passionate young people in China, too." Jun Sakurada shook his head indifferently.

"Alright, I've delivered the message. The rest is up to you seniors to discuss. I'll take my leave now."

He quickly packed up his computer and other documents, and was about to leave when he heard Hideaki Takizawa's annoyed voice: "Testing what? Do you think I'd discard you now that I've served my purpose?"

"How could that be?" Sakurada Jun smiled, his back turned, but his tone remained his signature innocent and guileless: "I just think that the work ahead can be done just fine without me, right?"

"Since you already know Nagano-senpai's value in China, you can surely figure out how to sell nostalgia, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get back here! You brought this up, so of course you should be in charge of making the arrangements!" Takizawa Hideaki rolled his eyes, inwardly cursing the kid for being so cunning.

But deep within his pupils, there was a faint sense of lingering fear.

Sakurada Jun is right about one thing: as long as Johnny & Associates knows that Nagano Hiroshi is very popular in China, even if they can't do it perfectly, they can still make a fortune by relying on Nagano Hiroshi's popularity in China.

But it was precisely because they were so close to making a fortune that Takizawa Hideaki felt even more terrified:

Hiroshi Nagano's popularity and national recognition in China are not something that has only increased in the last year or two; theoretically, this thin veil could be torn down at any time.

Then... why did Johnny's only realize this glittering treasure today, thanks to Jun Sakurada's reminder?

How isolated are they? How blind is their perspective?

When he looked at Jun Sakurada again, Hideaki Takizawa's expression was completely different.

Previously, I valued Jun Sakurada mainly because of his outstanding talent and his extremely sharp mind.

And now, he has discovered a quality in Jun Sakurada that is even more important to Johnny's:

A forward-looking overall perspective and a keen international vision.

So even if it wasn't absolutely necessary, Hideaki Takizawa wanted to involve Jun Sakurada in the arrangements for V6's trip to China, and he wanted him to get a big piece of the pie from it.

If this kid slacks off, then Johnny's will go back to its old state of being internationally deaf and blind.

Upon hearing Hideaki Takizawa's personal appointment, Jun Sakurada, who had already stepped halfway out of the room, stopped, turned around, and smiled slightly at the surprised looks from the V6 members who were taken aback by Hideaki Takizawa's statement.

"Then I'll briefly share my thoughts."

Returning indoors with a serious expression, Jun Sakurada turned on his computer again, completely ignoring the strange and even suppressed laughter looks from the others:

"I think we can't be too hasty about this. Senior Nagano has missed a lot of opportunities since he hasn't returned for more than ten years, but that's precisely why Chinese fans' expectations for his return are rising infinitely."

"Wouldn't it be unworthy of this expectation if there wasn't a grand enough return ceremony?"

His ambitions go far beyond simply having Hiroshi Nagano go back to hold a handshake event and rake in a few bucks.

"And I think the first thing the seniors of V6 should do is to practice this song thoroughly."

"Not only do you need to be able to sing, but you also need to practice pronouncing words clearly. If necessary, let our choreographer create a dance specifically for it."

V6 leaned closer to take a look and saw a simple Chinese song title displayed on the computer screen. Here, perhaps only Jun Sakurada truly understood the significance of this song:
