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

Chapter 83 Smailu Superman, come on!

While V6 and Victory were fooling around, Jun Sakurada finally took out a throat-soothing drink that the staff had prepared in advance and took a big gulp off-camera, finally feeling a bit better.

The succubus's voice should theoretically have excellent durability, but unfortunately, his voice hasn't stopped since the start of the live stream today.

He translated, eased the atmosphere, cracked jokes, and even expressed his own jokes in both Chinese and Japanese, translating the conversations of more than a dozen people without stopping.

Maintaining a speaking speed while also enunciating clearly, and minimizing communication barriers for Chinese audiences, is indeed quite challenging.

Sakurada Jun even regretted not finding a substitute.

Although the harvest was gratifying, it was still a bit too tiring.

Fortunately, thanks to the succubus's constitution, Jun Sakurada has already passed puberty; otherwise, his voice would have been in even worse shape.

But then I thought, if even he, a half-succubus, had such a hard time, how much pressure must an ordinary translator be under?

He essentially did the translation work of more than a dozen people with just his silver tongue!

In fact, although most of the viewers in the live stream were still focused on the big, round, and tempting promise that Tsuburaya had just made in its newly created folder, some people had already noticed Jun Sakurada's situation.

"To be honest, Run-ge was really amazing tonight, wasn't he? He did the translation work of more than a dozen people, and he even polished the translations. It's been over an hour and he hasn't stopped. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Foreign Languages ​​Department member here, Run Shen's level is my life's dream."

"This money should be earned by you, Run Shen. You can make games, be an idol, create program effects, and do translation. I won't be jealous no matter how much money someone like you earns."

"Hey newbie, who's Run Shen? Is he the translator? Is he famous?"

"Let me tell you—"

Coincidentally, discussions about Jun Sakurada have also started on Japanese Twitter.

"However, who is this guy doing the translation? Is he a new member of the JR team?"

"This level of completion is from a JR? It's terrifyingly strong—"

"He must be a newly signed artist, as he doesn't have a page on ISLANDTV yet. But I'm a fan no matter what, his face is just too unfair."

"Exactly, but being fluent in multiple languages—will he follow Travis Japan's path of venturing abroad?"

"Hard to say—"

As it turns out, sometimes, a sense of presence isn't something you can gain by stealing the spotlight or being flamboyant.

To avoid being questioned, Jun Sakurada has tried very hard to keep a low profile, but when the responsibilities he shoulders are too heavy and he is outstanding enough, attention will naturally come.

If Jun Sakurada had a moment to glance at his useless system, he would have noticed that, in addition to the terrifyingly rapid increase in the "Shallow Believers" category, the "Regular Believers" category was also beginning to grow at a slow pace.

As for the devout believers, there's been no movement yet, and it's unclear where they should go to expand their influence.

Of course, this is all predicated on Jun Sakurada remembering that he has a system.

Time passed by, and the live stream proceeded smoothly.

The interviews consisted of casual conversations with members of V6 and the GUTS team, as well as some behind-the-scenes interviews with the creators of Ultraman Tiga. There weren't many bombshell revelations, since Ultraman Tiga itself was quite complete and there wasn't much gossip to be had.

But this harmonious and pleasant atmosphere is itself very comfortable.

The former members of the Victory Team chatted about their current situations. Some were still working in the entertainment industry, while others had settled back into ordinary life, but they were all doing quite well.

This alone is enough to make the children back then very happy.

Interspersed among these casual chats are the folders—no, the big pancakes—that Tsuburaya Productions has been working overtime to produce these past few days.

Including Ultraman Tiga's True Bone Carving, the upcoming Taiga, a multi-themed theatrical version whose origins are unknown, and other fancy little ideas.

Although it's obvious to everyone that it's just empty promises, viewers are still willing to keep a glimmer of hope for what Tsuburaya Productions has in store for Hiroshi Nagano, given that they managed to bring him back.

Besides Tsuburaya Productions' clever trick of promising something for nothing, other small programs, such as the live broadcast with Jin Feng, and the joint performances by the main cast's voice actors and actors, also created their own climaxes.

It was tough on Jun Sakurada, the translator, as his workload was immense.

After much effort, finally, with Takayuki Tsukakoshi from Tsuburaya Productions returning to the stage, Jun Sakurada's spirits lifted:

coming.

Seeing Yue Longxing, who had already been on stage several times today, touching the edge of the stage again, the audience, who were used to it, started to laugh.

"Here we go again, is this another folder created a few days ago?"

"Could you at least produce a logo this time? We're not even expecting you to produce the leather case anymore."

"Eat up, eat up. It's still a pie, after all. Tsuburaya Productions has been doing pretty well these past few years thanks to the backing of the Bandai Namco Group. There's a good chance they'll deliver on their promise."

Having already enjoyed the somewhat superficial promises made earlier, the audience mostly responded to Takayuki Tsukakoshi's appearance on stage with a mocking attitude.

But this time, Tsuburaya Productions really did have something big planned.

"Now, please allow me to introduce to all viewers and fans a grand commemorative project that the Ultraman series has been preparing since 2021 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Tiga, Dyna, and Gaia series!"

"Is this a tribute to the three heroes? Shouldn't they at least make a joint theatrical film?"

"Be bold, release three theatrical films, one for TDG and one for each."

When the Heisei Three were mentioned, the viewers in the live stream became a little more enthusiastic, and there was more discussion in the chat.

However, most people's expectations are limited to Tsuburaya Productions releasing a few more theatrical films, and ideally, bringing Daigo and Gamu back to the big screen.

As for birds—let's not even mention them.

Looking at the comments on the screen in front of him, Takayuki Tsukagoshi, who was secretly delighted, cleared his throat and finally announced his groundbreaking plan: "Therefore, starting in 2021, the Ultraman series will release three main works in succession, corresponding to Tiga, Dyna and Gaia respectively."

"Although it's a commemoration, these are all brand new and different stories and heroes!"

After those two sentences were uttered, the live chat went silent for a moment, then naturally exploded: "Did I hear that right? Paying homage with three main works? Does that mean they're going to make another New Era Three Heroes movie?"

"Isn't paying homage to a major work a bit too audacious? If it fails, it'll be a disgrace!"

It's no wonder the comments section is against it. Putting aside the messy situation with Tsuruno, and focusing solely on the works themselves, the three Heisei masters are among the best in Okuban in terms of both quality and influence.

It is inherently quite difficult to pay homage to such works.

But Tsuburaya Productions is stubborn and actually plans to pay homage with three main works over three consecutive years?

Have we taken too big a step?

Furthermore, it was only after meeting Jun Sakurada that Tsuburaya rushed to bring out the project, which was originally scheduled to be officially implemented in 21, so much so that they haven't even had time to draw the most basic logo yet.

This made viewers even more suspicious that Tsuburaya Productions had gone mad in their pursuit of hype.

However, Takayuki Tsukagoshi remained completely calm. He glanced at Jun Sakurada and said solemnly, "Here, I am honored to announce to all the viewers and fans that the lead actor for the first step of the New Generation Trilogy, New Generation Tiga, has been officially confirmed, which is—"

Jun Sakurada first translated the sentence into Chinese, and then, under the watchful eyes of the viewers in the live broadcast room, who went from anticipation to doubt, and then gradually to shock, he calmly stepped forward.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Jun Sakurada, a Johnny's Jr., and I am also a game producer with millions of copies sold, as well as a blogger in the gaming and entertainment field."

"It is an honor to play the lead role in Tsuburaya Productions' next-generation Ultraman Tiga project."

As he spoke, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips, as if he had remembered something.

"So—Smailo Smailo!" Although at this point in time, Smailo Superman probably hadn't even finished designing the prototype, it didn't stop Jun Sakurada from using it.

Compared to the somewhat silly, stereotypical repetition of Kensuke Shinnaka in the other world, Jun Sakurada's current state is closer to that of Kensuke Shinnaka in the stage play, who has experienced many hardships yet still maintains a smile.

Some members of the production team, who were not far away, suddenly lit up, seemingly already envisioning something incredible based on this phrase, "Smailo".

Countless viewers were completely stunned. They had speculated about who would play the role of the new generation Ultraman Tiga, but no one had thought about the hardworking translator next to them.

Run-ge, are you serious?
