Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 3 Trend Development
  At 3:40 in the morning, Bunta Takakura ran for more than 20 kilometers along the SA Toden Arakawa Line and the out-of-service tram track...

This saves more than 10,000 yen in taxi fare.

…………

Tonight, Tokyo Charity Welfare Institute, the rich woman's sixtieth birthday, she had a great time.

This rich woman is a famous philanthropist in Tokyo. She has participated in many charity activities and is very generous.

After receiving Bunta Takakura's gift, she opened a romantic champagne tower.

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

This made Bunta Takakura, a volunteer at the welfare home, suddenly increase his charity points by twelve places, reaching the top three in the home.

Unfortunately, the vehicle maintenance service outside the hospital was taken away by a new volunteer named Sanji...

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

The apartment that Takakura Bunta rents is located in Minamisenjucho, Arakawa District, in a dark corner on the edge of the block, a dilapidated low-cost apartment building that is ignored by the crowd.

It has no conspicuous sign, only a simple wooden door plate, the writing on it has long been blurred by insects and rain.

The exterior walls have been eroded by years of wind and rain, with large areas of wall peeling off, and clearly visible mold spots and moisture stains, giving the building an air of dilapidation and aging.

Entering the single room of the apartment, a puff of humid air hits your face.

The air is filled with the smell of decay, making people hide their noses.

The only advantage of this apartment is that it has the cheapest rent in the 23 wards of Tokyo.

…………

Bunta Takakura took off his jacket and threw it on the table, wiped the sweat stains with a towel, and took out a box of cigarettes with an upside-down peace dove logo.

Click!

Takakura Bunta lit a Peace cigarette and leaned on the tatami bed.

Peace, also called "Peace", comes from RB Tobacco Company and is one of the most popular brands in RB.

The tar content of this product is as high as 21mg. Its appearance is mainly yellow, and the design is very simple and elegant. The main thing is the trademark plus the black text of the LOGO, and the Japanese warning about the dangers of smoking.

Open the cigarette box, the aroma of strong tobacco and a little vanilla flavor, and light a cigarette, which is full of energy in your mouth.

The smoke is full and mellow, exuding the aroma of vanilla and glutinous rice, but you should not smoke too much in one sip, as the second half will make you very heady.

…………

Bunta Takakura blew out a smoke ring and picked up the bedside table. He drank half a bottle of Kirin Ichiban beer from yesterday.

ton ton ton...

Under Kirin Ichiban's beer, there is a copy of "Weekly Shōnen Jump" No. 1996, 27.

Takehiko Inoue's "Slam Dunk" is officially over.

Just after the game between Shohoku and Sanno, "Slam Dunk" came to an abrupt end without any warning. Shohoku, who lost Sakuragi and his main force was exhausted, was easily defeated by Aiwa.

The beautiful youthful dream ended...

…………

The overall plot of "Slam Dunk" in this world is consistent with the previous one.

However, the plot of "The End of the Basketball Club" at the beginning of the seventh and eighth volumes of the manga is darker than in the previous life.

In this part, a gang of delinquent boys headed by Hisako Mitsui and Tetsuo challenged the basketball club, but were eventually defeated completely by Sakuragi Hanamichi and others, and Hisashi Mitsui joined the basketball club.

Compared with the previous "Slam Dunk" comic, in this parallel world version, this chapter adds a lot of plasma violence.

There is also the scene where Ayako, the manager of the Shohoku basketball team, encounters a bear attack by a group of delinquent boys, which makes people's blood swell.

When I was young, I didn’t understand that Ayako was good, so I mistook Haruko for a treasure.

In addition, in the first round of the national competition against Toyotama High School, the plot of the president of Toyotama High School bribing the referee was also added.

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

Putting the comics aside, Takakura Bunta drank beer, put out his cigarette butt, and turned on the TV.

Fuji TV is broadcasting "The Long Vacation".

…………

This is a love TV series starring Kimura Takuya and Yamaguchi Tomoko.

It tells a romantic sibling love story between a has-been female model and a talented young pianist. One of them encountered a situation where his fiancé ran away from marriage, and the other suffered from being unable to break through the bottleneck of piano playing skills.

Both of them faced the lowest point in their lives.

It seems that God gave them a long vacation.

While living together supporting each other, the two gradually discovered their true feelings...

…………

This is a masterpiece in the history of Japanese dramas, and it is also the cornerstone of Kimura Takuya's complete rise to the altar.

With an all-star cast, excellent screenwriting, and profound and relevant music, it is a model of high-end Japanese dramas.

…………

The show's average ratings reached 29.6%.

RB has triggered a social phenomenon called the "Long Vacation Phenomenon" such as "Oldies disappear from the streets on Mondays" and the number of men learning piano increases.

The main exterior shooting scenes, apartments and billboards, have become one of the tourist attractions.

Hidetoshi Sena, played by Takuya Kimura, mentioned his favorite Glenn Gould in the TV series.

Glenn Gould's piano performance CD sold 4000 copies in one month.

The original sheet music collection sold 6 copies a month after its release.

…………

ton ton ton...

Takakura Bunta finished drinking Kirin Iban beer and threw the empty bottle to the ground.

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

This parallel world is basically the same as my previous life and the historical line.

However, Takakura Bunta discovered that the development of the global entertainment industry is a little different.

Film and television entertainment in various countries are developing in a dark direction.

Whether it's a tokusatsu drama, animation, TV series, movie, song, etc., compared to the previous version, a lot of dark content has been added.

…………

The entertainment industry works in this dark star world are much more interesting than the previous ones.

The scale, profits and influence of the global entertainment industry are also far ahead of previous generations.

This is why Bunta Takakura has achieved good results in charity organizations with her sincerity and sincerity, but she still has to do odd jobs on the crew, trying to get into the entertainment industry.

…………

With the information gap from his past life, he also has this body that exudes the "strongest creature on land, sea, and air" that is comparable to the sculpture of David.

As long as Takakura Bunta can play a few film and television roles, he can become a first-line artist.

Whether it is the endorsement fees for shooting some advertisements or the price of charity donations at the Night Tokyo Charity Welfare Institute, it will be a considerable amount of income.

When the time comes, it will not be difficult to pay off a catfish debt.

…………

In addition, in accordance with the extremely political and correct atmosphere of seniority in the Japanese entertainment industry.

By then, even after the 21s of the 20st century, the information gap between the reborn people will expire.

Takakura Bunta can also rest comfortably and rest on his laurels.

Relying on his qualifications as a senior in the Japanese entertainment industry, he participated in TV variety shows, served as a judge for the Film and Television Song Awards, taught lessons for juniors, and lived a comfortable life.

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

When I woke up the next morning, there were people walking around in the corridor in front of the apartment.

I glanced at the alarm clock in the room. It was already 7am. According to the previous notification from the labor service company, the filming of the scene in Kamakura this morning started at 10am.

Takakura Bunta quickly took a cold shower, changed his clothes, took two triangular rice balls in the refrigerator, and ate while catching the train.
