Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 70 He really likes it

Shinjuku Night Tokyo Charity Welfare Home, Ayumi Hamasaki asked for leave from the director and stood at the street intersection looking around.

Under the introduction of Bunta Takakura, Hamasaki served as a resident singer at the Night Tokyo Charity Welfare Institute.

…………

The donations received from each residency are mainly divided into three parts.

40% is given to charity welfare homes for operating costs;

30% of resident singer’s income;

30% is used to help orphans affected by the 7.2-magnitude earthquake in Kobe last year.

…………

One year has passed since the 1995 Kobe earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2, and it is still scarred in the memory of all the people.

In just 14 seconds, swathes of high-rise buildings continued to collapse, and the fire started from nowhere. In an instant, it surrounded the entire city, razing high-rise buildings to the ground, and collapsing various urban facilities and systems.

After the earthquake disappeared, the original prosperity had disappeared, replaced by a scene that looked like it had been bombed by an atomic bomb.

More than 5400 people lost their lives, more than 3.4 were injured, more than 19 houses collapsed and were damaged, and economic losses were US$1000 billion. More than 500 fires broke out after the earthquake.

This is the 1995 7.2-magnitude Kobe earthquake that was like hell on earth.

…………

Hamasaki saw a tall figure on the street and immediately ran over with a smile.

"Takakura-kun! Long time no see!"

"Yes, Bu-chan, we haven't seen each other for a long time..."

Last time, after Takakura Bunta and Hamasaki watched Namie Amuro's movie "The Biggest Cheating War in History," the two didn't see each other for nearly a month.

The two were polite, and Takakura Bunta took the initiative to talk about the text message on his mobile phone: "I'm really sorry, I can't accept your feelings."

Hamasaki pretended to be relaxed and said: "I drank too much with Hirosue Ryoko yesterday..."

"I just edited that text message randomly. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."

"When I officially debut and make money, I will make an appointment for your charity event."

Takakura Bunta rubbed Hamasaki's head and said:

"Just do what you can, don't force yourself."

"In a place like Tokyo Charity Welfare Institute, you can spend as much as you want in one night."

…………

The charity activities of the charity welfare home are very expensive.

In addition to the intensive labor fees and mental emotional fees given to volunteers, there are also operating costs for charity homes.

Other profit funds will be donated to poor areas in the Dark Star world affected by natural disasters, wars, diseases and other disasters through charitable organizations in various countries.

Volunteers will also encourage charity donors and order charity drinks.

30% of the profits from these charity drinks will be donated to charity organizations to help less fortunate individuals and needy groups in society.

In addition, distinguished VIP charity fundraisers and volunteers will also provide door-to-door pipe unblocking, vehicle maintenance and other housekeeping services.

…………

Attending a fund-raising event for a charity welfare home in Japan can easily cost millions of yen.

Obviously this is the "weight of charity" that Ayumi Hamasaki cannot bear now.

…………

Bunta Takakura saw Ayumi Hamasaki's confession message.

But, he has decided.

In this life, I will dedicate my entire life and energy to the most magnificent cause in the world - charity.

As long as there are orphans suffering from war, hunger, and disease in this dark star world, Takakura Bunta's charity will not stop.

Although, when volunteering in Tokyo, international charity organizations will give volunteers incentive bonuses based on the funds raised.

It's a well-paying job.

…………

But Takakura Bunta is different from others.

He really likes it.

He likes to maintain relationships with charity donors and provides volunteer housekeeping services such as unblocking pipes, door-to-door takeout, and delivering bottled water.

Make sure they continue to donate to charity organizations...

…………    Sages do not care about their hearts when it comes to their deeds, and there is no sage in the world when it comes to their hearts.

This is a dark world full of garbage and moral decay.

These rich ladies are all great good people and female Bodhisattvas.

Takakura Bunta willingly became the merit rosette upon which the Bodhisattvas sat...

This position is so comfortable.

…………

When Ayumi Hamasaki saw the reply to the text message, he couldn't help but read it out.

"Dedicate your whole life and all your energy to the most magnificent cause in the world..."

"As long as there are war, hunger, and disease orphans in this world... Takakura Bunta's charity will not stop..."

So handsome... damn...

He obviously rejected himself! ! !

Hamasaki Ayumi discovered that she liked Takakura Bunta more.

This man has a damn charm that does not belong to this violent era...

....................................

Therefore, Hamasaki took the initiative to invite Takakura Bunta to watch a movie together to repair some cracks in the relationship between the two due to the text message incident.

"You said that the model you introduced me to for the MV shoot last time is free recently?" Takakura Bunta asked,

"Ryoko, I've been a little busy lately. She took on a job as a photo model and is going to publish a new photo book."

Hamasaki took out a box of hand cream from his backpack and replied while unscrewing the lid.

Hamasaki Ayumi is talking about Hirosue Ryoko's new photo album "R".

A total of 46 sets of this photo album were sold and it became very popular in Tokyo fashion circles.

…………

Hamasaki slowly squeezed out some hand cream, but inadvertently squeezed out too much.

"Mr. Takakura, help me."

"Hey?"

Hamasaki suddenly grabbed Takakura Bunta's hand and gently rubbed the hand cream on his hand.

Takakura Bunta felt the softness and warmth of Hamasaki Ayumi's fingers.

The heartbeats of the two of them accelerated involuntarily. They were so close that they could almost feel each other's breathing, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.

After a few minutes, Hamasaki's cheeks turned slightly red. She gently withdrew her hand and whispered:

"Thank you."

…………

It was too hard for the two of them to chat, so they walked to a movie theater opposite the main office of Kinokuniya, a bookstore chain in Shinjuku.

Bunta Takakura bought two tickets to the movie "Sweetie".

In Asian romance movies of the 20s.

This "Sweet Honey" directed by Peter Chan and starring Lai Ming and Maggie Cheung definitely has a place.

The movie spans from 1986 to 1996, a period of ten years, a relationship close and far away, parting today and meeting again tomorrow.

The presence of Asian diva Teresa Teng's songs throughout is a hallmark.

The three songs "Sweet Honey", "Goodbye My Lover" and "The Moon Represents My Heart" connect the changes of the times.

When Hong Kong was released on November 1996, 11, the box office was less than HK$2 million.

But this style of movie is very popular in Japan, taking in 3 million yen at the box office in its first week.

…………

"The happiest day in my life was when William took me to the peninsula for dinner. I stole the knives, forks, cups and plates we used while he wasn't paying attention..."

"Now I take it out and look at it occasionally, and I'm still very happy. Maybe William won't remember me for a long time."

"But it doesn't matter, I just remember it. Think about it, I'm so old and ugly now, it's actually a good thing if he doesn't come to me..."

Ayumi Hamasaki looked at the Cantonese subtitles in the movie, and she suddenly got into Bunta Takakura's arms and kissed her...
