Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 197 You are patriotic

In the Ishu Island area, any negative media opinions will be attacked by the local fans.

Making crazy phone calls and tying up the lines is the least serious of all. The more serious ones went straight to the newspaper office to block the door, held up banners in protest, sprayed people with loudspeakers in the street, and some even prepared to throw paint on them.

In the end, Akina Nakamori of the band Beasts couldn't stand it anymore and asked One Piece Entertainment to issue a statement through the official fan group on Telegram, calling on fans to remain calm.

…………

In general, the Japanese media were collectively excited, the South Korean media were watching the fun, the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan media were celebrating, and the official media of the Red Earth Continent and the Southeast Asian media also reprinted the report.

Winning the Japan Record Award, Golden Melody Award, Korean MAMA Award and Southern Music Festival all at once also helped to consolidate the position of Bunta Takakura's Beast Band in the Asian music scene.

At the same time, there was another sequelae, which was that the Sony record studio where he returned to record the album was stalked by countless reporters.

Even though the three members of the Beast Band had already been interviewed by multiple media outlets, they still did not dissuade the media from leaving. A group of people followed them with cameras, and even when Ryu Sakamoto got off work, they sent people to keep an eye on them.

…………

Kanda Keiko was overjoyed. Apart from the new album production phase where she had to guard against leaks, she also welcomed reporters to increase exposure for One Piece Entertainment.

However, Takakura Bunta didn't feel very good.

He had originally promised Akina Nakamori that he would take her out for some fun during the break in recording her new album, but now a group of reporters are watching her every day, so not only can they not have fun, they can't even get close to each other in private.

Akina Nakamori, this is not the first time she has been involved in a scandal with Bunta Takakura. Coupled with the experience of the Golden Screen Incident, she is still heavily branded as "Bunta Takakura's rumored girlfriend."

Many relatives and friends called to inquire, especially Akina Nakamori's mother Chieko, who was very concerned about whether her daughter was really together with Bunta Takakura.

Relying on the halo of Bunta Takakura's fame, Akina Nakamori's career has entered a second spring.

…………

After experiencing a series of emotional traumas, Akina Nakamori has long given up on love and is only willing to maintain a purely physical relationship. After all, Bunta Takakura's body, as the "strongest creature on land, sea and air," is a coveted top-tier existence worldwide.

At the suggestion of Bunta Takakura, she became the image ambassador of the Hokkaido NGO Shakushain Foundation and the international NGO Takakura Peace Foundation. She is passionate about NGO work and helps NGOs under Mimihaki PMC expand their influence.

The sudden influx of reports made her very uncomfortable, and she deliberately avoided being with Takakura Bunta these days.

All the major awards and scandals have overwhelmed Takakura Fumita.

In January this year, Keiko Kanda bought a Gulfstream G300 private jet for Bunta Takakura for 6.8 million yen, which allows Bunta Takakura to travel between the Takakura Group's industrial layout around the world while being busy with his main career as an artist.

When a reporter from Weekly Bunshun learned the news, he specifically blocked Gulfstream's flagship Asia delivery center in Tokyo to ask Bunta Takakura.

"Excuse me, is this plane a retirement gift for Ms. Akina Nakamori?"

Takakura Bunta was speechless and could only shout back: "Idiot! Money is not for women to spend, but for women to see! Of course I am using this plane myself!"

Giving a Gulfstream G300 to someone can certainly win the heart of Akina Nakamori, but if you fly a Gulfstream G300 yourself, you can win the bodies of countless female artists.

Although Takakura Bunta has the body of "the strongest creature on land, sea and air", he has never tried to extinguish a fire in the clouds.

When Bunta Takakura was in the critical moment of public opinion storm, NHK TV station came out to add fuel to the fire.

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

NHK TV station is currently producing the Taiga drama "Tokugawa Yoshinobu". Perhaps the historical figures in this Taiga drama are relatively unpopular, and the production company wanted to hype up the drama, so they specifically gave the media a bombshell.

When the crew was preparing for the show, NHK Vice President Kayoko Naito wanted to invite Takakura Bunta to play the male lead, but Takakura Bunta declined. According to an insider, this is the third time Takakura Bunta has refused NHK's invitation to produce a Taiga drama.

Takakura Bunta was invited to star in the two previous Taiga dramas, "Genroku Ryouran" and "Mōri Motonari," and scripts were written specifically for him.

Takakura Buntaisan refused NHK TV station.

It instantly made headlines, and some media speculated that Takakura Bunta might have a falling out with NHK. The first two films might have been rejected because of schedules, but the third rejection was clearly directed at NHK.

Someone asked Takakura Bunta about this statement, and Takakura Bunta denied it. Facing the reporters' repeated questions, Takakura Bunta took out a gene test report that he had prepared long ago and said:

"I have a good relationship with NHK TV, but I am not interested in the themes of these Taiga dramas."

"This gene sequencing proves that I am an Ainu. If there is a historical drama about Hokkaido historical figures in the future, I am willing to act in it for free."

"The latest gene sequencing proves that the Ainu people originated from the Qin State 2200 years ago and brought tiger seals, tripods, and bamboo books to the Japanese archipelago..."

"The new album of the band Beasts, "Ainu", is about getting back to the roots. Hokkaido has been an independent vassal state since ancient times..."

Takakura Bunta's crazy remarks immediately caused a public opinion storm throughout Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the Red Earth Continent.

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

Takakura Bunta, who caused a public opinion tsunami in Japan, came to Hong Kong in February and met Chief Shi through the introduction of Bao Xinyi, the youngest daughter of the Bao family.

"The actors for The Emperor and the Assassin have been approved, and there are no problems with the extras in the army after communication."

"Remember! You are an Ainu and you are acting in this movie. This is the key to the movie passing the censorship."

Chief Ishi and Takakura Bunta were in a private room in the Wangbei Building, lighting cigarettes and chatting.

"Thank you, Chief Ishi," said Takakura Bunta.

Chief Shi added, "Also, I have reported the intelligence information you provided about the severe flood disaster this summer. It is a serious matter. The Ministry of Water Resources has organized an expert group to carry out investigations along the river basin."

"What you said is too horrifying. Are you so sure?"

Takakura Bunta said: "Chief Ishi, the West Asia Earthquake Relief Foundation, an international NGO under the Mimihaji PMC company, has a special Asian Water Natural Disaster Research Center. I believe in the research results of geographical scientists."

Chief Shi has now been promoted all the way to the level of a provincial governor, and Takakura Bunta has to be polite to him.

Section Chief Shi put out his cigarette and said: "If what is said is true, it proves that you are patriotic and everything can be discussed."

"By the way, Mimihaji PMC has applied to expand overseas employment for veterans. The military is very supportive and can provide 5000 special placement quotas each year."

…………

Hokkaido's area is equivalent to about three Ishu Islands. It is Japan's largest island besides Honshu. It is also the eighth largest island in the world, guarding the throat of the western Pacific Ocean.

Support the Hokkaido independence cause led by Shoji Yuki, dismember Japan, and create a natural super fortress for the US Pacific Fleet to enter East Asia.

It can also provide employment for some of the elite troops who have become unemployed due to large-scale disarmament cuts.

The military believes this investment is well worth it.
