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

"Heart failure!" Wowaka trembled when he heard the initial diagnostic assessment from the doctor.

BNP elevated, troponin elevated, electrolyte imbalance, mild anemia...

One indicator after another points to the same terrifying outcome:

Heart failure!

Fortunately, according to the doctor's assessment, it seems to be in the early stages and has not yet progressed to an irreversible level.

However, if it suddenly turns into acute heart failure, Wowaka's life could end at any time.

"There really is a big problem!" Shinoda, the guitarist of the band Hitorie, broke out in a cold sweat as he looked at the medical report.

That's heart failure! Heart failure can kill you on the spot if you're not careful!

Jun Sakurada's description of Wowaka is no exaggeration; this 31-year-old man is truly standing on the edge of life and death.

"You need rest and treatment!" Shinoda's tone was firm and unwavering.

"But, the tour—" Wowaka still wanted to struggle a bit more.

"That stuff is nowhere near as important as your health!" the other three members of the band said almost in unison.

For the band Hitorie, Wowaka is the absolute core, taking on the roles of lead vocalist, lyricist, composer, and part of the guitar. It is precisely this heavy workload that puts him under such immense pressure.

The members simply couldn't imagine what a Hitorie team would be like without Wowaka.

They couldn't accept that their eldest son and best friend had passed away at such a young age.

Wowaka remained silent for two seconds. The weight of the words "heart failure" and the concern of his companions gradually pulled him back to reality.

So suddenly I felt a bit dejected.

Heart failure is not a simple illness, and even though it was discovered relatively early, it could still significantly impact his future life.

Working long hours and high-intensity jobs, along with some unhealthy lifestyle habits... it's probably time to say goodbye to him.

If things get even worse, we might have to be more careful when making music in the future.

How am I supposed to compete with that guy in drinking like that...?

Even so, it was fortunate for Wowaka.

If it had been discovered even a little later, the next time we met would have been at the funeral home.

"Oh right, I should thank that Sakurada guy properly later." Shinoda, still feeling a bit scared, finally remembered the person who had pointed out Wowaka's health condition.

This time, they owe that boy a huge favor.

……

"...Teacher Jin Feng, how about this? During the live stream, could you and Senior Nagano collaborate? You could provide voice-over for him while he performs, which would be a way to bring the audience back to their childhood?"

Jun Sakurada's voice is full of passion.

"Of course, I have no problem with that." On the other end of the phone, Jin Feng, the legendary voice actor from China, who has dubbed many popular characters such as Daigu, Duanmu Yan, and Toby Spider, laughed heartily.

"But Run, how do you know so much about the preferences of Chinese audiences? Plus, your Mandarin is so standard. If people didn't introduce you, I would really think you were a Chinese student studying in Japan or someone of Chinese descent."

While discussing business, Jin Feng was still curious about Sakurada Jun's skill level.

"After all, before signing with the agency, I mainly worked in the Chinese internet industry. If I want to make money here, then learning the language and researching market demands are, in my opinion, the most basic qualities," Jun Sakurada said with a smile.

"That's the awareness! That's spot on!" Jin Feng gave a thumbs up on the other end of the phone.

While the four members of the band were still quite frightened by Wowaka's serious illness, Jun Sakurada was not idle either.

Logically, contacting Mr. Jin Feng should be the job of Xinchuanghua, but in order to achieve more direct and timely synchronization with Johnny's headquarters on content,

We can only trouble the one and only person within Johnny's Entertainment who is knowledgeable about China.

Fortunately, Jun Sakurada's communication skills, especially his communication skills with Chinese people, are top-notch.

Take Mr. Jin Feng, whom we are currently communicating with, for example. When the people from Xinchuanghua first approached him, it wasn't very smooth.

On the one hand, Mr. Jin Feng was already undergoing a transformation, gradually shifting from commercial voice-over to traditional art, and he was taking on fewer and fewer commercial jobs.

On the other hand, since this live broadcast was hosted by Japan, Mr. Jin Feng had some doubts about the program content.

If Jun Sakurada hadn't personally stepped in to explain the details on behalf of the Japanese organizers and Jin Feng, things might have really gone wrong.

Anyway, Hideaki Takizawa and the Tsuburaya representative, who were originally preparing to give Jun Sakurada some prompts, were completely stunned by how Jun Sakurada spoke so fluently.

On the contrary, the people at Shinshoka, who already had some understanding of Jun Sakurada's business capabilities, remained quite calm.

"By the way, Jun, I heard that Nagano-sensei recently... had another minor accident? Is he alright?"

After discussing most of the important matters, Teacher Jin Feng suddenly remembered something, and his tone became a little strange.

"You mean the traffic accident a couple of days ago? It was just a minor scratch, the other party was fully at fault, and Nagano-senpai wasn't injured either. I thank you for your concern on his behalf," Sakurada Jun smiled.

Great, it seems the "car crash hero" meme has been spread even more widely than Sakurada Jun imagined.

It hasn't been long, and even Teacher Jin Feng has heard about it.

I imagine that related terms are already trending high on the hot search list in China.

Takizawa Hideaki will be stunned again. When did car accidents become a weapon to increase attention?

"Alright, all done." After hanging up the phone with Jin Feng, Sakurada Jun let out a long sigh of relief.

"In that case, we've contacted most of the people we need to invite in China, but we'll need to work on the main creative team in Japan."

"For this kind of nostalgia-driven program, the star power and status of the celebrities are not important. The key is to have as many of the original cast members as possible."

This was said to Hideaki Takizawa, for fear that he would repeat the old Johnny's mistakes and not treat the Tiga main cast, who were basically not even in the top tier, as human beings.

"We know, we know. We even went to invite Furuya-kun with great sincerity. How could we possibly neglect these seniors?" Takizawa Hideaki spread his hands helplessly.

Shoichi Furuya, a member of the Nozomi team in Ultraman Tiga, was a former Johnny's Jr., roughly contemporaries of Hideaki Takizawa, or even a little earlier.

At a young age, he was able to be placed in Ultraman Tiga by Johnny & Associates, which means he was considered a prodigy who was given special attention back then.

I don't know why, but in the end, he didn't debut with Johnny's and chose to leave the agency and change careers.

Generally speaking, if Johnny's Entertainment doesn't completely blacklist former members, it's considered that they've had a change of heart.

This time, Takizawa actually sent someone to lower himself and go with Tsuburaya Productions to invite him, which shows that he is determined to make a big splash in front of Ultraman Tiga's popularity.

Children can be taught.

"Well then... let's wait and see."
