old events in tokyo

Chapter 276

Just when Kazuki Akiyama was about to let go of the disturbances of the outside world and spend a good New Year holiday.

An unexpected phone call made him have to clean up his mood again and prepare to enter the state of socializing.

That's right, it's entertainment, and the invitation for entertainment comes from the "Hometown Association" in Tochigi.

Although Japan is not big, its geographical awareness is very strong.

People from the same place tend to be friendly and helpful to each other.

It's a bit similar to the emotion of fellow villagers in China.

Especially when you become a local representative celebrity, you will have their absolute support.

Even if you make a mistake, they will stand by your side and support you without hesitation.

Out of this sense of locality, celebrities from the same place will also spontaneously form "hometown associations".

This is a loose non-official organization from the people, and its purpose is only to facilitate communication, contact, and mutual assistance among fellow villagers.

As for the hometown association that Kazuki Akiyama is going to join, most of the members are from the literary and art circles.

Writers, directors, screenwriters, actors, singers, voice actors, you name it.

In fact, it is called a hometown association, but it is more like a gathering between people in the cultural and entertainment circles during the New Year holiday.

Although everyone is usually active in Tokyo, they seldom meet together.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to return to their hometowns during the New Year, getting together not only facilitates communication, but also expands their contacts.

As for the meeting place this time, it was set at a high-end club in Utsunomiya City.

The weather in Utsunomiya City on January 1 was a bit cold, without warm sunshine, and Kazuki Akiyama, who got out of the car, didn't stay long, and went straight to the private room under the leadership of the waiter in the clubhouse.

He knocked on the door, and it was a girl with apple face and long hair who opened the door for him.

"Eh, Sankou-san?"

The first insider I met when I first came here was the popular female comedian Tomoko Miguchi.

"It's Mr. Qiushan, please come in." The apple-faced girl smiled with a sunny temperament, which easily made people feel close.

Regardless of her young age, she is not yet thirty.But I have already cooperated with the five major TV stations in Tokyo.

The main role has been played more than once, which is why Kazuki Akiyama recognized her at the first sight.

Hearing the movement here, other people in the room looked over. In fact, it was a private room, more like a hall.

And Akiyama Kazuki also stood at the door and bowed to everyone first, no matter what, it is not surprising that there are so many people.

"It's Mr. Qiushan, please don't be polite, everyone here is from the same village."

At this time, a gentle-looking young woman with her hair in a bun came over and greeted him politely.

"Sensang, please take care of me."

She is the person who invited Kazuki Akiyama to participate in the Tochigi Association this time, Masako Mori.

Ever since she married another enka great Mori Shinichi, she has officially retired and embarked on the same road of raising husband and raising children like Momoe Yamaguchi.

Although he has retired, it does not mean that he has stopped interacting with people in the circle.

On the contrary, she does not attend many such private gatherings, after all, she has a lot of time after she is free.

When other people in the room saw that it was the "famous" Kazuki Akiyama who came, everyone looked over curiously.

There is no way, the recent big news has been contracted by him alone.

First, the confrontation with Wada Xianzi, followed by the unprecedented love announcement on the red and white stage, and the exposure target of the next issue of "Weekly Bunshun".

Each of the above is enough to cause a big discussion in the whole society, and all of these happened to him alone.

Naturally making him the focus of everyone's attention, this is not the most ruthless.

What's even more powerful is that just today he was on the headlines of the newspaper again. The "Sankei Shimbun" spent two full pages to calculate his income in 93 in detail.

As a result, the after-tax income on the surface alone reached as much as 7 million yen, 7 million yen, it was still after tax.

This number not only shocked the peers, but also completely exceeded the imagination of the public.

Many people even asked him to anonymously report him for tax evasion. In the end, the National Tax Agency had to come forward to clarify that Kazuki Akiyama's taxes were clean and there was no trace of illegality.

Earning 7 million in one year, this incident also made him successfully out of the circle again.

Many people even joked that Kazuki Akiyama is the most well-off middle-aged man in the entertainment industry this year.

From an artist's point of view, it's not bad.This year's artist income is indeed his highest.

It is understandable for everyone to be curious about such a topical diamond king who came to participate in the fellowship.

Not only they were curious, but also a five or six-year-old cute boy.

He walked up to Kazuki Akiyama's legs, raised his head and stared at his big eyes, and asked in a childish voice, "I heard you're in a relationship?"

"Eh"

"Ha ha"

His innocent appearance not only made Kazuki Akiyama laugh, but also made the adults here laugh out loud.

"Yes." Akiyama Kazuki smiled and touched his round head, feeling cute.

"Guikuan, this is very rude." Masako Mori walked over helplessly and pinched his ear.

"But they say falling in love is sweet, is it true?" The little boy named Guikuan put his finger to his mouth as if he was imagining what kind of sweetness it was.

"Sweet" Kazuki Akiyama answered him with a smile.

"Is it sweeter than a lollipop?"

"Sweeter than a lollipop."

"Ha ha"

The conversation between the two of them, one big and one small, made everyone laugh again.

After laughing, the atmosphere in the hall couldn't help becoming active.

The waiters also brought up glasses of champagne drinks, walked among the crowd, and provided the most considerate service for everyone.

Masako Mori, who is more experienced in the fellowship association, also led him to visit the seniors here one by one.

Manga artists Toshio Nobu, Kura Kura, Ken Ishikawa, Ritsuo Hayashi, composer Hideo Mizumori, comedian Masumi Harukawa, voice actor Toshio Furukawa...

There are also animation directors, screenwriters, and writers, covering almost most occupations in the entertainment industry.

Looking at it this way, although Tochigi is an inland county, there are quite a few employees in the industry.

Some have filmed "Dragon Ball" and "Fist of the North Star", and some have voiced for Piccolo.

Actors have collaborated with Akira Kurosawa and Yoji Yamada, and composers have provided music for Enka Gomi.

It can be said that most of the people here are seniors of Kazuki Akiyama.

They may not be well-known at ordinary times, that's because they are mostly engaged in behind-the-scenes creative work, and their status is higher than that of ordinary actors and singers.

However, they treated Kazuki Akiyama very politely, probably because of their fellow countrymen, and some older people even praised and cared for him in their words.

This is also due to Kazuki Akiyama's identity as a singer-songwriter, and the title of novelist adds a halo to him.

According to his current popularity and achievements, he has faintly become a representative figure of Tochigi in the entertainment circle.

This is also the reason why these seniors appreciate and love him. He is young, talented, and has a high degree of nationality. Is there anything more suitable as Tochigi's business card?

　thanks for your support!
