Chapters 1463 and 1472: Three months have passed, time to finally have some meat!
The week-long anime festival has finally come to an end!
On the last day, Junko Ito's concert and the fireworks festival complemented each other, enveloping Akihabara in a mesmerizing spectacle, as if one were truly in a beautiful world from an anime.
From its inception, this anime festival has attracted considerable attention throughout Japan. During its run, it has been plagued by unexpected events, including former top idols being secretly photographed, members of parliament giving speeches in the street, and current popular celebrities being involved in scandals.
In short, the Akihabara anime festival was a great success, leaving everyone very satisfied.
"It is estimated that more than 5 people attended the animation festival!"
Researcher Kazuma Matsuno excitedly reported to Shuichi Itō.
"During the anime festival, in addition to buying anime merchandise, these people also bring hotel accommodations, food and drinks, and even cosmetics and small commodities that should not be underestimated!"
"And this is only the first animation festival. Once it becomes a regular event, it will be able to bring in this kind of traffic every year!"
Masami Tanagashi chimed in from the side:
"Akihabara's reputation has already been established. Even after the anime festival ends, Akihabara's appeal to anime lovers will not end, and it will become a permanent bustling district!"
"It has a very positive impact on the surrounding business environment, housing, and transportation! It's said that property prices around Akihabara have already risen significantly in the short term."
Shuichi Itoh smiled broadly upon hearing this. As a pilot project for cultural districts, Akihabara's anime district has given a very good start!
"good, very good!"
I am very satisfied with the reports from my two subordinates.
"Tanami, Matsuno, summarize the report and I will submit it to the Cabinet Secretariat!"
"I'm sure Prime Minister Doi will ask us to give a detailed report after he's seen it! Be prepared, don't embarrass yourself!"
"Hi!" X2
Matsuno Kazuma and Tanakami Masami both nodded excitedly.
Want to get promoted within the system? First and foremost, you need to frequently make an appearance in front of your superiors!
Otherwise, when superiors want to promote someone, they won't even know you exist.
After spending some time in the "Cultural Policy Research Room," Shuichi Itō still felt incredibly excited, so he went outside to have a smoke to calm down. However, he soon saw Yoshihiko Noda walking towards him.
"Shui Yi-san!"
"Noda-kun?"
Shuichi Itō was somewhat surprised.
"Why did you come here?"
Although the members of parliament's office and the prime minister's official residence are both in Nagatacho, it still takes some time to walk there.
"Ah, I was in a good mood, so I wanted to come and talk to Shuichi-san!"
Yoshihiko Noda was very enthusiastic. He could now be considered a member of the Shuyu faction in politics, although this faction only had two or three people for the time being. But the amount he was giving was really generous!
It's not just about treatment, but more about opportunities! For example, this proposal titled "Building a Nation through Culture" is a fundamental national policy!
"Ok?"
Shuichi Itō was somewhat curious.
"Did the proposal go smoothly?"
"That's absolutely right!"
Noda Yoshihiko took out a cigarette and lit it for Itō Osamu. Noda nodded.
"The time for the explanation at the plenary meeting has been set for late August!"
Important bills are usually first presented at a plenary session to explain their purpose, and then submitted to a special review committee for review, hearings, discussions, and voting. Adjustments can be made along the way until the bill is passed or rejected.
After the committee's review and approval, the bill will proceed to a vote by members of both houses of Congress to determine whether it can become law.
At this pace, it is possible to complete the legislative process within this year's legislative agenda!
"I see!"
Shuichi Itō took a deep breath, feeling the tobacco swirling in his lungs, and felt much more awake.
"Noda-kun, you're the perfect person to give the report at the plenary session!"
"Haha, then I must thank Shuichi-san for his great support!"
Yoshihiko Noda's face was full of smiles.
"Furthermore, this Akihabara anime festival helped me gain a lot of support among young people."
For anime fans, it's astonishing that a member of parliament would support holding anime events.
These young people don't care about constituencies or factions, but they'll definitely support a legislator who supports anime culture!
"Hahaha, Noda-kun himself is a representative of young Japanese people in politics!"
Shuichi Itō patted Yoshihiko Noda on the shoulder.
"Your future isn't just about being a congressman!"
"Thank you for Xiu-san's auspicious words! Hahaha~"
The two men were laughing like villains in the smoking corner.
In Ken-On's headquarters office, Hanami Kaku poured out his grievances to Akina!
"What's wrong with young people these days? Why are they so disobedient?!" "They're so stubborn! They're so willful!!"
"His career is at its peak, yet he insists on dating!!" "He told them to be careful, but he wouldn't tell his manager, wanting to sneak around and cause excitement!!"
Akina, sitting on the sofa, would slightly twitch the corner of her mouth with every sentence she heard. Every sentence seemed to be talking about Okada Yukiko, yet every sentence also seemed to be talking about herself!
Isn't Hanami-san's comment really a veiled attack?!
"Ahem. Hanami-san, calm down. That's just how young people are."
When Akina said this, she felt her age increasing rapidly. She was only twenty-three years old, a vibrant and youthful age!
"Akina-chan, Nozaki Toshio from the Sasagawa family called specifically to inquire about this matter a couple of days ago!"
Hanami He shook his head, his face full of helplessness.
"I don't even know how to report this to him!"
"."
Akina comforted her,
"The impact of the adhesive tape is not immediate. 'Full House' is currently airing and won't significantly affect revenue."
"Well, I hope so!"
Regardless, if an idol who relies on popularity gets married, they either have to transform into a more serious actor or gradually decline in popularity.
Having finished explaining, Hanami Kagami seemed to have gradually accepted it, and he turned to look at Akina:
"Fine, let's not talk about Yukiko anymore."
"Akina, let's talk about this year's new song. The fans are making a huge fuss, the phone and letters are flooding the headquarters."
Akina laughed when she heard that:
"Haha, I know I've kept everyone waiting~"
"So what kind of direction are you planning for your new songs this year?"
"I'd like to try incorporating electronic music and hip-hop elements into the currently popular R&B genre."
"oh?!"
Hanami Hyuk is also very interested in music.
"This style of R&B has indeed become popular in the United States. When Terahina-san went to the United States for research before, he also talked about this style, as well as the trend of incorporating soul music."
"Since Akina thinks so too, let's try making an album this year!"
"Hi"
Seeing that her direction had been approved by President Hanami, Akina's mood improved.
The two discussed the setup of the music production team and some things about the release in the office, but for Akina, it was definitely impossible to keep up with the promotion and release work like before.
However, Hanami Kagami said it didn't matter:
"Fans are looking forward to Akina's songs. Whether or not Akina appears on television, those who like you will still like you!"
"This is a gift for the fans!"
Akina was also moved after hearing this.
After leaving the office, Akina greeted her colleagues at the firm in a very familiar manner.
"Why does Ryomei-san look like he's lost so much weight? And his dark circles are so heavy?"
Tanaka Yoshiaki was helpless:
"I haven't been sleeping well for the past few days because of the scandal!"
"Well, health is more important."
That was all Akina could say, and then she changed the subject.
"By the way, I just finished talking with the president, and we're planning to release an album this year."
"oh?!"
Upon hearing this, Tanaka Yoshiaki and his colleagues all took notice.
Is Akina Sauce making a comeback?
"No, no, it's a commemorative album!"
Akina shook her head. Nagayama Ren is only a few months old; she can't leave.
"I see."
Yoshiaki Tanaka sighed, but then rallied his spirits.
"Has the person in charge of this album been decided? If not, I can help out!"
"Tanaka, how could you be so shameless!"
Shimada Yuzo immediately spoke up,
"If Akina-chan were to release an album, I'd definitely be the one to do it!"
"I'm coming." "I'm free!"
Others chimed in, saying that Akina Nakamori has a stable fan base and is also very talented. Overall, releasing a record for Akina Nakamori would be a sure-fire way to make money!
"Alright, alright, everyone, stop arguing."
Akina quickly tried to appease them.
"Because of the musical style, the person in charge of my album this time is Terahina-san. He has quite a few connections in the United States."
"Ah, it's Terabashi-san!" "Well, there's nothing we can do about that."
Terabayashi Akira was Akina's mentor; no one at Ken-On is more senior or closer to Akina than him.
"If you need any help during the process, please feel free to lend a hand."
Akina chatted and laughed with everyone for a while, then found Maki Ueda:
"Maki-chan, I'll be relying on you from now on."
"Haha, you're such a tassel!"
Maki Ueda looked very happy.
"It's my good fortune to be able to work with Akina-chan!"
Akina's personality has matured; she's very friendly to her employees.
Furthermore, since Akina was already a wealthy woman, when I was her personal manager, I always treated her to the best of her ability, from five-star hotels and lavish meals to the best of her standards when we went out.
Even business partners accommodate Mrs. Nagayama's schedule, treating her assistants with kindness and gentleness.
She's much happier now than when she's working as Yukiko Okada's assistant!
"That's good"
Akina smiled and said,
"It'll probably start in August, so I'll be counting on you for work arrangements and schedules!"
"Leave it to me!"
When they returned to Yamasakurain, Nagayama Naoki had already brought Hana-chan back, and they were playing with Nagayama Ren on the sofa in the living room.
Naoki Nagayama ran a feather across the sole of Ren Nagayama's foot, watching her little toe immediately retract. He then handed the feather to Natsuka, inviting her to try it too.
The little one was having a blast, treating his brother's feet like toys.
"Naoki-san, flower jam."
Akina was speechless when she saw it.
"Are you bullying Ren-chan again?!"
Akina was somewhat helpless. Ever since Nagayama Ren was born, her husband didn't seem to love the little guy as much as he loved Hana-chan. Although he would hold him, play with him, change his diapers, and feed him, it seemed to be all about childcare skills. He just didn't seem to love him as much as he had loved Hana-chan.
For example, even now, she likes to bully the younger ones with Hua Jiang~
"No way!"
Naoki Nagayama immediately retorted,
"We're stimulating Lianjiang's senses to receive external stimuli, thus promoting his nervous system development!!"
"He speaks with great eloquence and conviction."
Akina made a comment, walked to the sofa, and looked at the energetic little guy lying on the sofa without saying anything more.
Meanwhile, Xiaoxiahua immediately threw herself into Akina's arms and began chattering about what had happened that day.
He talked about things like airplanes flying in the sky without seeing clouds, lots of dinosaurs on Jurassic Island, and crowds of people in a port town, and then added mysteriously:
"Mom, I found a super delicious candy today!! I'll go get it for you!"
Then, she happily ran off to the candy cabinet and started searching inside.
"."
Naoki Nagayama was speechless when he saw this, since they had clearly agreed not to say anything when they were on the island.
"What is it?"
Akina asked her husband with some curiosity,
"What strange candy?"
"It's popping candy."
Naoki Nagayama said,
"Today is the first time I've ever tasted popping candy."
"Popping candy?!"
Akina looked at Naoki Nagayama in surprise, a blush rising to her cheeks. She had naturally eaten this kind of candy before, and as for the ways to eat it, there were many.
Why did you feed the flower jam this?
"Just regular candy."
Just then, the little guy ran over with the popping candy and showed it to Akina:
"This is it."
"."
After Akina took it, she rolled her eyes at Naoki Nagayama! She felt that Naoki-san was definitely hinting at something!
Thinking about this, Akina couldn't help but curse inwardly. They're an old married couple; couldn't they just say it directly?!
".Forehead."
Naoki Nagayama was a little embarrassed. But it's a very popular candy! It's not anything strange, he swore. When he saw it before, he only felt nostalgic.
Hua Jiang said in a very surprised tone:
"Mom, this candy is alive! It jumps around in your mouth! And it pricks your tongue!"
"Really? That's amazing?"
Akina provided ample emotional support for her daughter, asking the little one,
"Were you afraid when you ate the flower jam?"
"I was scared at first, but I wasn't scared anymore!"
Xia Hua's eyes were fixed on the popping candy as she urged,
"Mom, you should eat too!"
Naoki Nagayama only gave her a few packets today, and then she didn't have a chance to eat any more until we got back!
Now they're letting Mom open it and try it out right away—it's obvious they have a plan!
Okay~
Akina tore open a piece of the candy, poured some into her mouth, and savored the popping candy's attack on her taste buds.
"It seems a bit more exciting than neon lights."
"This is made in the USA."
Naoki Nagayama offered an explanation from the side.
"I see."
At this moment, Xiaoxia pursed her lips and looked at Akina anxiously, asking:
"Mommy, Mommy, does your mouth hurt? Do you want me to eat the flower jam for you?"
"Haha~"
Children's thoughts are so obvious. Akina laughed, then poured the remaining popping candy into her palm.
"Okay, then let Mom eat the flower jam!"
"Good~"
Xiaoxia licked the crystallized sugar powder into her mouth with great satisfaction, happily enjoying the prickly sensation in her lips once again.
Seeing how happy the two of them were, Naoki Nagayama shrugged and continued to squeeze Ren Nagayama's little feet:
"Lian-chan, you're too young to eat anything, so pitiful~"
"But it's okay, you can eat it when it grows a little bigger~"
Just then, Akina suddenly leaned over:
"Mmm. Ren-chan has grown up now, she can sleep with Mori-san tonight."
"?"
"Hana-chan is going to be independent too, and she's sleeping in her own little room now!"
"??"
Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina, somewhat puzzled.
Akina turned her head away, leaving behind only a seemingly stuck-together sentence:
"Lianjiang is almost three months old."
"Three months already~ that's really fast."
Naoki Nagayama noticed his wife's somewhat awkward expression and suddenly realized what was going on!
It's been three months!!
It's time to eat meat!
I'm talking about adults!!!
