Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 1408 1406. Comments on "Rebirth of Tokyo's Golden Age"

Hello everyone, I am Cang Yiwei.

Today I would like to recommend a new book to you.

"Rebirth of Tokyo's Golden Age", Quiet Thoughts, 26 words serialized.

Category: Urban-Urban Life.

Summary:
When Tokyo's urban economy began to take off, remote rural areas had not yet enjoyed the benefits of economic development and remained backward.

At this moment, Shirakawa Kaede suddenly appeared in the neon countryside. He didn't want to be a farmer for the rest of his life. He wanted to go to Tokyo, he wanted to experience the beauty of the Showa era, he wanted to live a better life...

【Brief Comment】

He also has another book under his name, "Old Things in Tokyo", which has 75 words and was hastily completed. It is actually readable, but the data is not very good.

The new book and "I am a Literary Giant in Tokyo" that I introduced in the last issue were both put on the shelves at the same time. The first orders were not much different, and they also did py with each other, which was quite harmonious.

The two books share similar styles, both boasting a strong, authentic flavor. The difference lies in the emphasis on literary quality in The Great Master, while The Golden Age focuses on commercial success. In terms of long-term commercial success, The Golden Age is likely to prevail.

The protagonist of this book is named Shirakawa Kaede, who only has one character difference from Rukawa Kaede in "Slam Dunk", but they are both similar in terms of handsomeness.

Although Shirakawa was born in the countryside, he was admitted to the Department of Business Administration at Meiji University. His mother helped him choose the major, but it unexpectedly foreshadowed his future business direction.

When I watched it last night, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep several times, so I can't remember the early part. I watched it again for a long time today, and I was impressed by the plot after entering college.

He came to Tokyo with a fellow villager who worked as a porter. His life was miserable, but he endured it in order to survive in Tokyo. Although he was just a strong supporting character, he was portrayed in detail. The protagonist's fate was completely different. He entered university and did well. Being handsome was only one aspect, but personal charm was the key. At the New Year's Festival campus performance, he was tricked by his seniors in the guitar club and became a big star. The songs he sang were not only successfully registered with the Ministry of Culture, but also favored by music companies.

The two of them were reunited through a new connection: recycling old appliances. The protagonist's repair skills and business sense, and the fellow villager's strength and loyalty, led to a successful partnership that yielded considerable profits. When they returned home for the New Year, they were much more respectable, feeling like returning home in glory. Although they grew up in different families, their simple bond remained a treasure.

The book's path is towards commercial development, not the entertainment industry, so he only signed a song profit-sharing agreement and did not make a direct debut. He is self-aware that the songs in his head are not enough to support him to go far, and once the business empire is successful, everything will be in place.

The romances are pretty clear so far. There are two characters secretly crushing on the main character, each with a completely different style. The guitar club girl is more reserved and gentle, while the senior, a comedy major, is more outgoing. They all have distinct personalities and are quite memorable.

This book is certainly not the best in the Japanese entertainment genre, but as a new urban novel, it has stood out from the crowd, which means it's worth a read. I hope anyone interested will give it a read.

【to sum up】
