Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 269 Joining forces to create 'Son of the Sun'

If you have to ask Hideki Hanyu to give an evaluation of Sun Son who has changed to a new look.

Then it can only be described as "explosion".

Flaming red lips, punched black eyeshadow, black mixed with red or green hairstyle, leather jacket with rivets, embellished with various metal ornaments.

Seeing the son of the sun like this, Hanyu Hideki turned his head and gave Matsui Motoki a dead fish-eye stare.

He wanted to say, I want you to refer to the style of the visual kei, not to copy it all!

People's visual kei band, in the final analysis, is still the way of heavy metal rock.

The exaggerated shape is to match the music style and express strong inner emotions.

You, an idol group, do the same thing, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?
"President Hanyu, is there a problem?" Matsui Motoki's voice was somewhat trembling.

Hanyu Hideki's reaction was so big, coupled with the eyes staring at him at this time.

No need to guess, Hanyu Hideki is very dissatisfied with the appearance of Sun Son.

Not only Motoki Matsui, but everyone at the scene was very nervous.

Even Santomo Iijima, who used to be Hanyu Hideki's assistant, held his breath at this time, for fear that Hanyu Hideki would get angry.

As for the three 'Son of the Sun' who were about to make their debut, they were a little at a loss.

They didn't understand that although Hideki Hanyu had seldom participated in the management of the club, he liked to be the hands-off shopkeeper.

But it doesn't mean that Hideki Hanyu won't take care of it.

If Hanyu Hideki is dissatisfied with Taiyoko and does not approve, he will directly stop the debut of this group.

Even if Hirohashi Asako interceded, it was useless.

"Are you satisfied with the looks of the three of them?"

Hanyu Hideki asked Matsui Motoki.

His tone was very flat, but Matsui Motoki's ears made him extremely nervous.

But Hanyu Hideki asked all the questions, and Matsui Motoki still bit the bullet and answered.

"I refer to the styling styles of some underground bands in Tokyo, and let the designers improve it, which is more mature and bold than them, so I think it is still very different."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

I fucking let you absorb the characteristics, not let you develop.

The looks you've made for the three of them now are even more exaggerated than the visual kei itself!
how?

The pinnacle of the visual system, the name of the founder of Kill Matt, that's what you Matsui Motoki wants.

Suppressing the urge to speak out in his heart, Hideki Hanyu asked again.

"Matsui-san, what is the most important thing for an idol group?"

"Music, combination style..." Matsui Motoki said several times in succession.

Matsui Motoki was talking, as if he felt that the son of the sun he created was quite good.

Hanyu Hideki listened to Matsui Motoki's words, and then looked at the reactions of the people around him.

He found that many people in the rehearsal room showed expressions of approval.

Obviously, in the eyes of people of this era, Son of the Sun's look at this time may still be very trendy and avant-garde.

However, Hideki Hanyu's dissatisfaction with the style of Son of the Sun is not the hot-eyed style.

He tried his best not to be influenced by the aesthetics of later generations, and said calmly.

"Matsui-san's idea is good, but he ignores important things." Hanyu Hideki said.

"President Hanyu, please tell me." Motoki Matsui asked respectfully.

The people next to him also put on a look of listening attentively.

Although Hanyu Hideki never made a move after creating the Vitality Girl.

If you have to.

Writing the debut song for 'F4' who is filming a TV series, and directing the character style of F4 in the TV series shooting is barely a half shot.

Among the crowd, the one with the most serious expression was Santomo Iijima who actually started to take over the management of Yunshang Entertainment.

After Vitality Girl, it can be said that Yunshang Entertainment has never produced a top artist.

Santomo Iijima was under a lot of pressure, and even thought about asking Hideki Hanyu to come out.

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu wanted to give advice today, of course he had to listen carefully.

Hanyu Hideki raised a finger.

"Matsui-san needs to understand that if an idol wants to become famous, he must have his own unique style.

If it is a group, under the condition of uniform style, each member must have strong recognition.

As for the three Sons of the Sun, this style is indeed very different and eye-catching enough, but the styles of the three of them are too similar to each other. "

After Hideki Hanyu's words came to this point, the surrounding people unconsciously looked at the three Vitality Girls who were watching the excitement.

Yukiko Okada with a curious face and a cute, confused face.

Yoko Minano with expressionless face and cool short hair.

Minako Honda has a sweet smile and is gentle and pleasant.

Anyone who knows the vitality girls, even if they are not their fans, can tell the characteristics of the three and accurately distinguish the three.

The combination of the three is a vitality storm sweeping across Asia.

However, under the subdivision, each has its own characteristics, and each has its own different supporters.

On the other hand, Son of the Sun, the three of them stood there, unable to tell who was who.

If he sang and danced on stage, even the fans would be confused.

At this time, Hanyu Hideki continued.

"Although Matsui-san has optimized and perfected the appearance of the underground band, they still continue their style, which makes Son of the Sun look different, but does not have its own characteristics.

Moreover, the styles of those bands were developed based on heavy metal rock music, and they are not suitable for idol groups. "

When Hanyu Hideki said this, he suddenly asked Nakamori Akina beside him, "What do you think of Akina-chan?"

Akina Nakamori, who was eating melons and watching the excitement, did not expect to be named by Hideki Hanyu.

First, she froze with a small face, and then said with some embarrassment.

"I think Mr. Hanyu is right."

"Ming Caijiang don't be nervous, just say what you have, since they are going to debut, they must stand up to criticism."

Hideki Hanyu encouraged.

Hanyu Hideki is still very optimistic about Akina Nakamori's fashion vision.

The other party has started to participate in the production of their own records since this year.

As far as I can remember, after next year, I will officially be the producer of my own music.

Personal styling and the like were arranged by myself very early on.

And because of the memory of his previous life, it is inevitable that he will always have some aesthetics of later generations in his evaluation.

So I still hope that Akina Nakamori will evaluate it from the perspective of this era.

Encouraged by Hideki Hanyu, Akina Nakamori spoke boldly after thinking for a while.

"I went to LiveHouse to see the performance of this style of band. The emotions in their music are very strong. With the unique shape, they can give full play to the advantages of music.

I think Son of the Sun is just imitating this style, and if the matching music is not suitable, it will have the opposite effect.

Also, as Mr. Hanyu said, the three of them now only have a unified style, but do not have their own characteristics. It is easy to attract attention, but they cannot retain fans. "

After listening to Nakamori Akina's words, Hanyu Hideki ordered Matsui Motoki.

"Perform the debut song and let me see."

Matsui Motoki heard the news and hurriedly arranged for a performance.

At this time, it was the turn of Chuck and Asuka's Shibata Hideyuki and Miyazaki Shigeaki to be nervous.

After the two of them moved to Yunshang Yieng, they are still very satisfied with the status quo.

Not only the benefits are better than in Yamaha.

And in music creation, Cloud Music also gives a lot of freedom.

They create when they want to create, tour when they want to tour, and they don't demand what they have to do.

Mostly in terms of career, let them serve as the music producers of the new group.

And no one interfered, let them display.

At this time, Hanyu Hideki was dissatisfied with the appearance of the son of the sun.

They were afraid that Hideki Hanyu would also be dissatisfied with their debut song.

The prelude sounded, and the three Sons of the Sun also set up their postures, ready to dance.

Matsui Motoki introduced at the right time, "This debut song is called 'Asura's Wings', and Shibata-san and Miyazaki-san wrote the lyrics, composed the music, and arranged it themselves."

Accompanied by Matsui Motoki's introduction, the song began, and the dance of Son of the Sun also began.

The original sound was played live, and the three of them focused on dancing instead of singing with the microphone on.

Then Hideki Hanyu looked at it, and frowned.

While everyone at the scene was watching, Hideki Hanyu raised his hand and said without waiting for the song to finish.

"Okay, you can stop."

In the rehearsal room at this time, the three Sons of the Sun were at a loss, and all the executives were flustered.

Any fool could see that Hideki Hanyu was very dissatisfied.

Everyone was afraid that Hideki Hanyu, who stopped the performance halfway, would say something like, "You guys let me down so much".

But Hanyu Hideki just sighed and didn't speak immediately.

In the performance just now, in his opinion, although there were musical problems, they were not serious.

He had never heard of this "Wings of Asura" in his previous life.

But the song is catchy, and it is obviously tailor-made according to the style of Son of the Sun.

It is still in the category of saliva songs, but with a little "cruel" feeling, it can be regarded as a masterpiece of idol songs.

Chuck and Asuka are obviously paying attention.

The main problem is still with the choreography.

In this day and age, most idols can't sing or dance.

After all, many idols release songs without even making music videos, so how can they let fans watch and dance.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that it was after he created the Vitality Girl that the singing and dancing trend started.

Later, the 'Blue Girl' group of Yanyin Office successfully followed suit, which made many idols start to imitate.

Even many TV stations have set up special MTV programs for this reason.

But it is only limited to the scope of the group, solo idols still rarely sing and dance.

In fact, in Yunshang Performing Arts, only vitality girls will create exclusive dances when releasing songs.

Even Shingo Kazami, who takes the breakdancing route, does not choreograph every song.

Matsui Motoki was able to create a special song dance for Son of the Sun, which is really rare.

It can be seen that Motoki Matsui has great ambitions and wants Son of the Sun to achieve the same success as Vitality Girl.

It's a pity that the choreography is really hard to describe.

Very stylish idol song, but the choreography is ordinary and old-fashioned, and the movement design is soft.

With an alternative style, it is like a group of demons dancing wildly.

After waiting for a moment, Hideki Hanyu spoke.

"The dance design lacks a sense of power, the movements are cumbersome and not concise enough, and the choreography lacks attractive elements."

After the simple evaluation, Hideki Hanyu understood that criticism alone is useless.

Even if he suspends his debut and lets Son of the Sun go back to the stove and rebuild, I'm afraid these people still won't be able to produce something that satisfies him.

It seems that I can only end in person.

"I will be in charge of the choreography."

Hanyu Hideki said and looked at Chuck and Asuka.

"But before choreographing, please ask Shibata-san and Miyazaki-san to re-arrange the debut song. I want a stronger sense of rhythm."

"Yes, President Hanyu."

After Chuck and Asuka agreed, Hanyu Hideki asked Motoki Matsui next to him.

"For modeling, do you have colored pens and a drawing board?"

Matsui Motoki hadn't answered yet, but Iijima Santomo spoke first, "There is a painting on Yunying, I'll send someone to get it."

She said and hurriedly ordered the staff to get it.

At this moment, although Sanzhi Iijima was still a little apprehensive, he was more excited.

Because she had already heard that Hideki Hanyu was going to do it himself.

In the rehearsal room at this time, even the Vitality girl looked at the three Sons of the Sun with a hint of envy.

After all, even they haven't been personally guided by Hideki Hanyu for a long time.

After a while, the staff brought crayons and drawing boards from Yun Shang Hua.

Hideki Hanyu picked up the drawing board, spread out brushes of different colors, and glanced at Shinsuke Hirasawa, the captain of 'Son of the Sun'.

Among the three of them, the other person's appearance was a little tougher.

According to the appearance characteristics of the other party, he quickly began to paint.

Hirasawa Shinsuke's head gradually appeared on the drawing paper.

The shape is still exaggerated and very impactful.

It can be seen that it has absorbed the characteristics of the visual system.

But it's more concise, and it's a completely different style.

Gold and black hair color, on the head is shaped into a pointy sea urchin head.

The makeup on the face is not deliberately exaggerated, mainly to highlight the advantages of the appearance.

But around the right eye, a complex tattoo-like pattern was outlined with a paintbrush.

Akina Nakamori, who was sitting next to Hideki Hanyu, was looking carefully at Hideki Hanyu's design, but suddenly Hideki Hanyu turned his head and asked her.

"Ming Caijiang thinks what kind of clothes suit this look."

Because of the encouragement just now, Akina Nakamori didn't panic, thought for a while and began to speak.

"A black canvas jacket for the upper body."

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu helped Shinsuke Hirasawa paint the upper body.

"The jacket should be open at the chest, with a silver pendant, with a metal zipper, and the hem should not be too tight..."

Hanyu Hideki continued to draw the clothes and details as Akina Nakamori said.

However, when painting, he will also modify according to his own ideas.

"Black overalls that need to be slim-fitting, it's best to match some metal chains..."

In this way, one person talks, one person draws, communicates with each other, and refers to each other.

It didn't take long for Hirasawa Shinsuke's new look to come out.

When Hanyu Hideki raised his head again, he realized that there was already a circle of people around, watching their 'design' process.

He didn't mind either, so he put on a new drawing paper and watched Mannosuke Ishimura in "Children of the Sun" draw again.

It is still the head shape design that comes out first.

Ishimura Mannosuke is the youngest of the three, with a cute look in his handsome appearance, belonging to the type of little milk dog that later generations call.

A black empty hat was worn on the head, and a fully-sealed goggle was tied on the brim of the hat. The hair after tinfoil perming emerged from the hat, looking a little messy.

In terms of makeup, it also doesn't need to be too strong, mainly to highlight the feeling of Ishimura Mannosuke himself as a little milk dog.

"Akina-chan, I'll leave the clothes to you." Hanyu Hideki looked at Nakamori Akina.

"no problem."

Nakamori Akina spoke energetically.

"A black tank top, sporty, with fingerless gloves... skate shoes..."

After completing the styling design of Ishimura Mannosuke, he looked at the last Kusuna Ryo.

Among the three "Son of the Sun", Kusuzuna has the most "beautiful" appearance.

The "beauty" here refers to the feminine and handsome feeling that tends to be neutral.

Hideki Hanyu began to design hairstyles for the other party.

Silver-white hair, side-parted bangs like a woman's, and a fluffy ponytail that looks like a blast at the back of the head.

For the makeup part, it is natural to enhance the femininity, dark eye shadow and lip color...

Finally, on the clothes, Nakamori Akina designed a top with a hem like a skirt on top of the black tight pants.

When Hideki Hanyu puts the last stroke on the drawing paper.

He and fashionista Akina Nakamori jointly created the "Son of the Sun", which is freshly released.

He spread out the drawing papers one by one, and the three "Kill Matt" boys jumped out of the paper, appearing in the eyes of everyone.

Compared with the stereotyped, ghostly 'visual kei' style before.

At this time, the new shape of "Son of the Sun" on the drawing paper is indeed "refreshing and concise".

The most important thing is that everyone has designed a completely different shape according to their own appearance characteristics.

The respective characteristics are brought into full play and are highly recognizable.

Hideki Hanyu pointed to the three pieces of drawing paper, and asked Matsui Motoki directly without seeking any advice.

"When will the costume be ready?"

Matsui Motoki looked at his watch, and found that it was already past the time for lunch before he knew it.

I wanted to give him a day, but I was worried that I would not have enough time, so I could only say, "It will be absolutely fine in two days."

"Then two days later."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he walked to a synthesizer in the rehearsal room, randomly input a melody with a strong sense of rhythm, and clicked to play.

Then he walked to the middle of the rehearsal room, took off his suit jacket, loosened his tie, undid the top button of his shirt, and took off the gold-rimmed plain mirror on his face.

In an instant, his whole body seemed to unravel a certain seal, dancing to the melody he had entered.

Everyone felt an unprecedented sense of power from Hideki Hanyu's dance.

Every dance move that Hideki Hanyu stuck to the rhythm seemed to hit the hearts of everyone present.

The charm of the whole person is unparalleled and strong.

After a while, Hideki Hanyu stopped dancing and looked at Chuck and Asuka.

"Shibata-san, Miyazaki-san, this is the feeling of arrangement I want, do you understand?"

Shibata Hideyuki and Miyazaki Shigeaki nodded in amazement, "Yes, President Hanyu."

They actually want to say more.

Chairman, you are so powerful, we are under a lot of pressure.

As a professional musician, compared to the shock brought by Hideki Hanyu's dance.

I was even more shocked by Hideki Hanyu's random input of the melody.

They feel that if this melody is slightly expanded, it is a very powerful piece of music.

That strong style has brought them a lot of inspiration and inspiration.

"I'll be back in two days, hurry up." Hanyu Hideki urged again.

"Yes, President Hanyu." The two quickly replied.

"Everyone has worked hard, I will take my leave first."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking to everyone, he walked towards the rehearsal room,
Reiko Uemura, who helped him with his clothes and glasses, followed closely behind.

After he went out, everyone in the rehearsal room unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Chuck and Asuka, the two rookies, saw Hideki Hanyu's strength for the first time.

Among them, Shibata Hideyuki said in an unbelievable tone, "President Hanyu was not popular at the beginning?"

Obviously he knows Hideki Hanyu's dark history as an idol.

Shigeaki Miyazaki joked, "I think Chairman Hanyu should make his debut."

Who would have thought that Katsuhito Matsushita, the president of Yunshang Music next to him, answered with a smile after hearing the words.

"You're not the first to say that."

However, everyone at the scene knew that with Hideki Hanyu's current status, it was impossible for him to debut as an artist.

In fact, not to mention his debut, Hideki Hanyu performed on the show in person in order to support the vitality girl, but now it is impossible.

"Ms. Hanyu is so handsome!"

Yukiko Okada, who seemed to have just escaped from Hideki Hanyu's charm, suddenly said loudly.

Then she saw that Hideki Hanyu had left, as if she remembered something.

"It's not easy to meet Mr. Hanyu. We must treat Mr. Hanyu to dinner. Let's catch up quickly."

Then he chased out of the rehearsal room first.

Minano Yoko followed without saying a word.

Minako Honda smiled and invited Nakamori Akina, "Akina-chan, let's go together."

At this moment, Nakamori Akina's mind is full of images of Hanyu Hideki dancing.

When Minako Honda said this, she instinctively agreed, "Okay."

After speaking, he left with Minako Honda.

In the rehearsal room, seeing the relationship between Genki Girl, Nakamori Akina and Hanyu Hideki, the eyes of the three "Son of the Sun" who have not yet debuted showed envy.

After all, this is the big boss, the chairman of Yunshang Entertainment who promises everything.

There are so many important people in the rehearsal room, and they have to be respectful when they meet each other on weekdays.

But in the face of Hanyu Hideki's dissatisfaction, there was not even a single rebuttal.

The benefits of establishing a relationship with such a boss are self-evident.

At this time Matsui Motoki just came over, and after seeing the eyes of the three, he said with a smile.

"Don't look, this kind of thing is not enviable.

They joined the club at the beginning of its establishment, and the signing was all discussed by President Hirohashi, and they even lived in President Hirohashi's house before debuting.

Choreography, music, and costumes are all created by President Hanyu himself. "

After speaking, he looked at the three pieces of drawing paper in his hand, and continued.

"However, you guys are also good. You can let President Hanyu personally design the styling and choreography. It seems that I am not doing well, and it is not a bad thing."

But Matsui Motoki's words are just talking.

Fortunately today, Hideki Hanyu is willing to make a move.

If Hideki Hanyu didn't want to make a move, then the ending waiting for him would be very bad.

……

After leaving Yunshang Entertainment, Hanyu Hideki went to Spirit Entertainment again after having lunch with Akina Nakamori with the girl who had chased after him.

"Hanyu-san is here at this hour, is there anything urgent?"

Hanyu Hideki heard this question as soon as he entered Eri Kitahara's office.

"I went to Yunshang Entertainment in the morning, so I stopped by to have a look." Hanyu Hideki explained.

In fact, before he came to Eri Kitahara's office, he had already visited the three major studios.

After confirming that there is no problem with the game development of the three major studios, this came up.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the original location of the old factory building through the window of the office. The tall and short office buildings had already been capped, and the exterior facades were almost finished.

"It seems that it won't be long before we can move into the new building."

"Yeah, we should be able to move in early next year."

Eri Kitahara asked again after finishing speaking, "Are you really not going to move Yunshang Culture in?"

"No, Yunshang Culture can stay in this old building."

Hideki Hanyu said.

In the new office building, he only planned to let Elven Entertainment move in.

As for the culture on the cloud, it does not belong to a system in the first place, so there is no need to force it into it.

"I looked at the recent report of America, and the sales volume of Pokeball 2 has stabilized after breaking through 300 million.

The production capacity of the factory is fully satisfied, and I think the time has come for Pokeball 2 to be launched in Neon.

Originally, I planned to make a marketing plan with the sales department, and then notify Hanyu-san. Since you are here today, I will let you know in advance. "

Eri Kitahara said.

"Has Kitahara-san thought about the launch date yet?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Start stocking now, and it will be officially launched in December. I think Pokeball 2 will be a very good New Year's gift in the New Year."

Eri Kitahara replied.

"It seems that Kitahara-san has even thought up the advertising words." Hideki Hanyu said.

"Advertising words are not important, as long as Pokeball 2 is launched normally, there will be no problem in sales."

Kitahara Eri's tone was full of confidence.

Pokeball 2 is highly sought after in America, and the neon media took the initiative to report it even without the promotion of Elf Entertainment.

Not only print media, but even TV stations went to America to film American consumers queuing up to buy Pokeball 2.

Vanity and pride were instantly gratified when the neon public saw American shoppers queuing at America's Pokemon Show even the night before to grab a Pokeball 2.

Naturally, they looked forward to the Pokeball 2 product.

They all asked Spirit Entertainment to go public as soon as possible.

But at the beginning, the output of Pokeball 2 naturally had to give priority to satisfying America.

As a result, Elf Entertainment can only use various excuses to delay.

Pokeball 2 is listed on Neon, and it can be said that it is what everyone expects.

Eri Kitahara is naturally confident in sales.

Of course Hanyu Hideki knew this too.

And this is exactly what he pursues, to defeat all opponents in an upright manner.

Instead of using the discriminatory treatment of events to market like when the Poké Ball was launched.

Eri Kitahara said another thing at this time.

"One more thing, Neon already has several game developers, hoping to log into the Pokeball 2 platform."

"It seems that our sales in America have moved many people's hearts." Hideki Hanyu laughed.

"The sales of more than 300 million units are enough to produce a million-selling game cartridge. How could they not be moved."

Eri Kitahara said.

"Did Kitahara-san tell them about our registration system?"

The franchise system that Hideki Hanyu mentioned is the variant royalty system that he developed with Michael Katz in America.

"Speaking of which, basically they put forward different conditions. Some hope to reduce the royalties, some hope to give them separate preferential conditions, some are unwilling to share the copyright revenue, and some want to get the cassette production rights."

Eri Kitahara replied.

"Tell them that our rules will never change, no matter how big or small clubs are, we will treat them equally. We don't look at the club's name, but only at the quality of the game."

Hanyu Hideki had no intention of backing down.

What these developers want is only profit. If Elf Entertainment relaxes its conditions and ruins the reputation of the Pokeball 2 platform, it will only suffer for itself.

As for these developers, the big deal is to pat their ass and leave, anyway, they don't care if the platform is good or bad.

"Of course I won't give in. In fact, our conditions are much better than Nintendo's." Kitahara Eri said helplessly.

"It's the nature of businessmen to pursue profit. Don't worry about them. We don't lack games for the time being. I believe there will be changes in the next year." Hideki Hanyu said.

According to Michael Katz, after Pokeball 2 expired in March, the new games "Kung Fu" and "Crack the Ice" were quite successful.

In less than a month, the combined sales of the two games' cassettes exceeded 30.

And "Super Mario Bros", which only landed on the arcade platform, has been enthusiastically sought after by arcade players.

Pokeball 2, the Pokeball [-] cartridge of Super Mario Bros., has been released by Pokemon Entertainment America.

I believe that with the charm of "Super Mario Bros.", Pokeball 2 and game cassettes will usher in another wave of sales peaks.

At that time, the facts will be in front of us, and those game developers who still want to negotiate terms now should beg them to log in to Pokeball 2.

The two chatted in the office for a while, and seeing that it was almost time to get off work, suddenly the phone on Eri Kitahara's desk rang.

Eri Kitahara picked up and listened to a few words, then looked at Hideki Hanyu.

"The second editor-in-chief of Dagao City wants to see you."

"Let him come up." Hanyu Hideki said.

Then he asked Eri Kitahara, "What is he looking for from me?"

Eri Kitahara hung up the phone and explained with a smile on her face, "It should be to ask Hanyu-san for credit."

"Inviting credit?" Hanyu Hideki had a strange expression on his face.

"Dragon Ball has been released for three issues, and readers like it very much. Does Hanyu-san know the latest circulation of Fairy Cute?"

Eri Kitahara explained.

"It should sound good," Hideki Hanyu said.

"It's very good. It has officially exceeded 200 million, surpassing the highest sales volume of Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine, and becoming the third largest comic magazine in Neon."

When Eri Kitahara talked about this matter, her tone was unavoidably a little excited.

After all, she came from a publishing house, and it was inevitable that she would be excited when a new neon comic magazine was born.

"That's right, it's finally looking a bit better." Hideki Hanyu said.

"Is Hanyu-san unhappy? Why does he look so calm?" Kitahara Eri asked.

"I'm very happy, and I'm looking forward to the Fairy Cute winning the first place." Hideki Hanyu replied.

In fact, the reason why he is not excited is mainly because he knows that after entering the 90s, not only the music market will explode, but also the comic market.

The circulation of 300 million in a single issue is almost uncommon.

It is not news that the single-volume comics of various magazines sell hundreds of millions of copies a year.

Even "Weekly Shonen Magazine", which now seems half-dead.

At that time, relying on the "Kindaichi Juvenile Case File" and the help of "Zhonghuayiyi", they successfully killed "Weekly Shonen Jump".

With a circulation of more than 400 million, it is on the throne of the first neon comic magazine.

What's more, "Weekly Shonen Magazine" will have many powerful manga in the future.

"Fairy Tail", "Ghost Eye Knife", "The Shining Duo", "Attack on Titan"...

All his favorite comics.

Now relying on 200 million sales to surpass, it is only temporary.

Knowing history well, it is naturally difficult for him to get excited.

Next, Ichiji Otaka came to Eri Kitahara's office, and reported to Hideki Hanyu explicitly, asking Hideki Hanyu to check the latest draft of "Dragon Ball".

But during the words, he showed his merits to Hideki Hanyu all the time.

Although Hanyu Hideki himself was not very excited, he would not dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinates.

He praised Dagao Shier well, and asked Dagao Shier to continue working hard, saying that the bonus at the end of the year would never be treated badly.

After sending off Otaka Ichiji, it was almost time to get off work, so Hanyu Hideki bid farewell to Kitahara Eri directly.

But at this moment, assistant Uemura Reiko found him.

"Mr. Hanyu, someone called and asked you to meet at night."

"Yukio-san?" Except Yukio Tanaka, he couldn't think of anyone who would ask him out for a night out.

After all, even Shinsuke Ito is now a good man of the Gu family.

"No, the other party said his name is Akimoto Yasushi."

"Akimoto Yasushi, didn't he say anything?" Hanyu Hideki thought, why did Qiu Pangpang find him suddenly,

Although Qiu Pangpang has cooperated with Yunshang Entertainment a lot in the past two years.

He also wrote songs, scripts for programs, and even participated in the script creation of some TV dramas.

But the number of contact with him is less and less.

"Akimoto Yasushi said it was because of the girls' team, and he wanted to thank Mr. Hanyu." Reiko Uemura replied.

"Girls team, it seems that Tokura Shunichi really contacted Yasushi Akimoto."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he told Uemura Reiko, "Contact Yasushi Akimoto and say..."

Halfway through the conversation, Hanyu Hideki changed his tune again, "Forget it, I'll contact you personally, Uemura-san can get off work."

"Okay, here's his phone."

……

As soon as the sky in Tokyo was covered by night, Hideki Hanyu drove his new Ferrari Testarossa to the Azabu neighborhood in Minato-ku.

Located on the north side of Roppongi, there are many international schools and many embassies, so it has a nightlife that is not inferior to Roppongi.

And compared to the relatively "traditional" Roppongi, the nightclubs in Azabu are more trendy and fashionable.

In the afternoon, he called Akimoto Yasushi, who asked him to meet at a nightclub here.

Speaking of which, although he used to go to nightclubs a lot, most of the time he was invited.

I seldom take the initiative to find or research which nightclub is good.

Unlike Yukio Tanaka and Yasushi Akimoto, they know all about the interesting nightclubs in Tokyo.

Hideki Hanyu has heard of Akimoto Yasushi's style to some extent.

The self-proclaimed romantic talent in the circle has been recognized by many people.

Don't look at Akimoto Yasushi's chubby appearance with black-rimmed glasses in the future.

But Akimoto Yasushi, who is slightly fat now, is also a piece of fresh meat in terms of appearance.

Even debuting as an idol is not impossible.

After arriving at the destination, Hanyu Hideki didn't see Akimoto Yasushi, so he parked the car at the door and sat on the car body to wait.

When he came out to play at night, he was dressed quite relaxed.

He was wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt and a Yomiuri Giants baseball jacket.

The lower body is black casual pants and skate shoes.

Add a cover-up baseball cap and sunglasses.

It felt like a young freshman who had just entered the baseball club in some university.

It is completely impossible to equate him with the "highly respected" national teacher.

Fresh and handsome guy, cool supercar.

This combination is placed on a street full of nightclubs, one can imagine how attractive it is.

As soon as the wait started, various young girls came up to him asking for his contact information.

Then they were coldly rejected by Hideki Hanyu.

But even if he kept refusing, he couldn't stop the girl's enthusiasm at all.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Qiu Pangpang to arrive.

"Hanyu-san, sorry for the long wait."

"It's okay, I just arrived, but if Akimoto-san doesn't come again, I will run away."

Hanyu Hideki spread his hands helplessly.

Even though Yasuto Akimoto was amused by Hideki Hanyu's words, when he came, he saw Hideki Hanyu being asked for his contact information by a girl.

"Who made Hanyu-san so popular, let's go quickly, if we continue to wait, I can't stop those girls anymore."

Yasushi Akimoto has already noticed that there are many girls around who are looking at Hideki Hanyu.

But because he is here, he will not be ashamed to come here for a while.

"Let's go."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he walked towards the goal under the leadership of Akimoto Yasushi.

During this period, disco music was the most popular in Tokyo nightclubs.

Men and women in the city, listening to the strong rhythm of the music, twisted their bodies under the gorgeous lights, venting the pressure accumulated during the day.

But today, Yasushi Akimoto wanted to thank Hideki Hanyu, so naturally he would not go to a place that was too noisy, where he would shout loudly.

The place they entered was a retro jazz bar.

As soon as the two found a place to sit down, they heard the band on the stage playing a very familiar prelude.

After ordering the wine, Yasushi Akimoto saw that Hideki Hanyu was listening seriously, and asked curiously, "San Hanyu likes this song very much."

"I like it very much." Hideki Hanyu nodded.

Then he said, "careless whisper, this year's new song, last month it was selected as one of Rolling Stone's [-] best songs of [-]."

Hearing what Hanyu Hideki said in such detail, Yasushi Akimoto was a little surprised.

"Hanyu-san is really amazing. He pays so much attention to world pop music. No wonder he can create so many best-selling songs."

"I just overheard it while working in America some time ago."

Hideki Hanyu did not explain too much.

It cannot be said that the prelude to this song in later generations is used too much in short videos.

And this song is very popular in Neon, probably because of the prelude, which has a very city-pop flavor.

Not wanting to talk about music anymore, Hanyu Hideki looked at the environment of this bar and joked, "I didn't expect Akimoto-san to come to this style of bar."

Akimoto Yasushi smiled and explained, "Some girls like this kind of place that seems to have a style, so I come here occasionally."

"I see." Hanyu Hideki showed an expression that I understood.

Even if Akimoto Yasushi's descendants are married, they are still restless guys.

I heard that when he was old, he had a naked meeting with Gang Hao.

But it's not surprising, young is a vagabond, do you still expect a big change in temperament after marriage.

At this moment, Yasushi Akimoto changed his expression, and thanked Hideki Hanyu in a solemn tone.

"The reason for inviting Hanyu-san this time is to thank Hanyu-san for introducing me to Tokura Shunichi."

Just this morning, he was entrusted by Tokura Shunichi and officially became the producer of the girl team.

Although he had made a little fame by writing lyrics for others before.

But wanting to be a producer based on this is simply a dream.

It is even more impossible to establish a relationship with someone of Tokura Shunichi's level.

Now with Hideki Hanyu's introduction, he does not know how many years of struggle he has saved.

The Girls team has spent huge sums of money before, but if he can make this combination a little bit better, it will be able to reach the sky in one step.

Therefore, his gratitude to Hideki Hanyu at this time is absolutely sincere.

"Akimoto-san, you don't have to be polite. I heard you talk about some ideas for building a group, and I casually mentioned it to Du Cang-san. It is because of your talent that you can get Du Cang-san's approval."

Hanyu Hideki said modestly.

He understands that even without himself, Qiu Pangpang will still become famous next year with the Kitten Club.

"There are many talented people in this world, but not everyone can get the opportunity. If Hanyu-san needs help in the future, please ask for help."

"A little thing..."

Hanyu Hideki said a few more polite words to Akimoto Yasushi.

It just so happened that the waiter brought the wine, and after the two drank a few glasses, the topic turned to some anecdotes in the circle.

beep beep-

While he was speaking, Yasushi Akimoto's pager suddenly rang.

Yasushi Akimoto looked at the number and said to Hideki Hanyu, "I'm sorry, I'll make a call back."

Hanyu Hideki said, "Akimoto-san please go ahead."

Akimoto Yasushi walked to the bar counter and borrowed the bar's phone.

After calling back, Akimoto Yasushi just said a few words, the phone didn't hang up, and he returned with a strange expression.

"It's Du Cang-san's call. He knew that Hanyu-san and I were together, and he asked who was there, and then asked me to ask Hanyu-san, can he come too?"
