Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

"There are vegetables..."

Fujii Itsuki looked at the pretty girl beside him with a sharp gaze and said firmly, "Are you ready to become the first top singer to achieve first-week sales of 50 albums since the Reiwa era?"

As he spoke, he took out the song he had prepared long ago.

"Fireworks", "Lemon", "Unrequited Love", "Previous Life", "Ultramarine", "Probably"...

To be on the safe side, Fujii Itsuki even took out a song called "糸" by Miyuki Nakajima.

Since some of these songs are sung by female voices, some by male voices, and the rest are either duets or choruses, so after going around in circles, in the end, Fujii Itsuki, the firefighter, still needs to debut as a boy-girl group with Matsumoto Arina, just like "YOASOBI"!

After these songs are successfully recorded, they will be uploaded simultaneously on major music platforms and then made into albums for release.

The purpose is simple, which is to bring Matsumoto Arina's fame to the peak in one fell swoop, thereby increasing the popularity and CD sales of "LOSER".

Even if KB Agency dares to achieve 50 sales in the first week, what about 60 or 70, sales that can be recorded in the history of Japanese music?

Fujii Itsuki's eyes were confident and his expression carried a hint of youthful spirit.

"It's time..."

"Give the stagnant entertainment industry some music to shake things up!"

"The first top singer to sell 50 copies in the first week?" Matsumoto Arina murmured to herself, seemingly shocked by Fujii Itsuki's words.

Asami Uesugi's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but begin to daydream endlessly.

Is she also going to become famous in the industry and become an agent who brings out top singers?

She stood on the wrong side last time, but this time she will definitely stand next to Matsumoto Arina conscientiously!

"This guy……"

Asada Futaba's beautiful eyes moved as she stared at Fujii Itsuki's confident face in a trance.

"You seem to be getting more and more handsome."

For the person involved, Arina Matsumoto, what came to her mind was not the ten-meter red carpet, the stars surrounding her, and winning the "Pop Music Grand Prix" under the spotlight.

Instead, it was snowing heavily. Fujii Itsuki held a black umbrella and went to the tombs of her grandparents and her father with her, holding the company's financial reports, to pay homage to them.

The lost glory of the Matsumoto Group was taken back completely by Matsumoto Yucai!

Chapter 342 TREE

The next day, a music group called "TREE" debuted under Matsumoto Entertainment Agency, consisting of lead singer "Matsumoto Yuina" and songwriter and backing vocalist "Fujii".

Almost at the same time, several songs written and sung by the "TREE" group appeared on major music software platforms across Japan, including Amazon Music and YouTube Music.

Good wine needs no bush. This time, the marketing and publicity department of Matsumoto Entertainment Agency has not put in much effort. Relying solely on Matsumoto Arina's own influence and the quality of her songs, the "TREE" group's fame and song downloads have all exploded exponentially on major music platforms!

"Fireworks", "Lemon", "Unrequited Love", "Previous Previous Life", "Ultramarine", "Probably", "Gray and Blue", etc.

These songs of different styles but extremely high quality quickly captured the hearts of young people, and record stores were crowded. Because the "TREE" group had not yet made the songs into an album, everyone had to buy Matsumoto Arina's "LOSER" as a temporary substitute.

Since the fast-paced song "LOSER" is originally suitable for boys to sing, Fujii Itsuki specially uploaded a male solo version on the music platform under the name "TREE".

On the Internet, the situation of Matsumoto (MAT) Entertainment Agency is very good, while the neighboring Kobayashi (KB) Entertainment Agency is acting like a turtle.

Originally, the Kobayashi couple wanted to use their wealth to increase sales to 45 copies in one fell swoop, but when they heard the emotional song "糸" by Arina Matsumoto, they both became silent at the same time.

The reason is simple, because the Kobayashi couple experienced the 1970s and 1980s when Japan was full of stars.

Even if this song was released in the Japanese music scene in the 1970s and 1980s, it would still be able to stand out with its quality and become a rare classic song!

You know, in the previous life, this song was originally a wedding song written by Miyuki Nakajima for her friend who was about to get married. As a result, it was directly selected by the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs as the theme song of the National Culture Festival in 05!

Now it is not only a song often chosen at Japanese weddings, but also a must-order song in karaoke!

In 17, Miyuki Nakajima won the Tokyo Annual Copyright Fee Gold Award just by collecting copyright fees from this song!

Classics are classics and will never go out of style.

Since the Reiwa era, among the new generation of singers, in addition to Aimer who has covered this song "糸", even actor Masaki Suda has specially covered it.

KB agency remained silent and pretended to be dead, but Fujii Itsuki would not miss such a good opportunity to "beat the downed dog".

On the same day, the official media of Matsumoto Entertainment Agency directly denounced KB Agency for unfair competition and maliciously inflating CD sales, and also published a data analysis table specially collected from employees on the Internet.

KB Agency, which was already at a disadvantage, naturally tried to confuse the public and accused Matsumoto Agency of fabricating evidence.

Fans of both sides started to curse at each other, and the leader of the Matsumoto Agency fan club named "Ono" even led a team to occupy the official media of KB Agency.

The general trend was irreversible, and the rise of Matsumoto Agency was inevitable. KB Agency had no choice but to give up the idea of acquisition and chose a method commonly used by entertainment companies - sacrificing the car to save the driver.

The Kobayashi couple directly put the blame of "malicious vote-rigging" on the fans of Kaneda Teru.

The idol paid the price for the fans' behavior, and then they pushed Kaneda Teru out to bow and apologize, taking the blame all by himself.

As time goes by, this matter will slowly be turned over.

but……

Every pore of the capitalists is flowing with blood and filth. The Kobayashi couple has invested so many favors and resources in Kaneda Teru. In the days to come, they will madly exploit Kaneda Teru to take notices and business orders and earn back all the money without losing a single yen!

Miss Matsumoto was kind-hearted at first and only dealt with Minister Yoshida and his group. She couldn't do anything about the traitor Kaneda Teru for the time being, but the Kobayashi couple will use their actions to tell him the cruelty and darkness of the entertainment industry!

……

……

Minamisenju, Fujii residence.

"Click——"

Pushing open the door of Shimizu Ai's room on the second floor, Ogihara Saki walked in with a plate of freshly baked desserts.

"Ai-chan, Ono-chan..."

"How's your review going?" she asked softly to the two petite girls sitting at the desk.

"Take a break and have some blueberry tarts."

"Thank you, sister-in-law, you are so nice!" The girl with cute double ponytails put down the oil pen in her hand, closed the exercise book she had finished, and thanked Ogihara Saki with a smile.

She stretched out her fair little hand, picked up a steaming blueberry tart from the plate, blew on it, and carefully took a bite of the crispy tart crust.

"Ono-chan..." Ogihara Saki looked at the girl with short hair next to Shimizu Ai.

The other person was holding a mobile phone at this moment, staring at the screen intently, his two little hands typing on the keyboard "click" "click".

While fighting, Kawachi Ono was muttering to himself.

"That's it?"

"Why aren't you talking? Don't you have enough family members at home?"

"...What is she doing?" Seeing this, Ogihara Saki blinked slightly in confusion and turned to look at Shimizu Ai next to her.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about her."

Chewing the sweet and sour blueberry tart, Shimizu Ai said with a little disdain: "...I guess he is arguing with others on some platform again."

"Excuse me, Sister Saki, did you call me just now?" At this time, Kawachi Ono also reacted belatedly, with a quiet and well-behaved expression on his little face, completely different from the fluent look he had when he was greeting others about their family tree just now.

"Hey, there are egg tarts!" Kawachi Ono's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to pick up the egg tart and take a bite.

"Haochi, haochi, and it tastes like blueberry!"

"Saki-sister is such an amazing cook!" She praised sincerely, holding the egg tart in one hand and continuing to scroll through the messages on Twitter with the other.

As a die-hard fan of Arina Matsumoto, Kawachi Ono immediately guessed who "Fujii" was in the "TREE" group.

“TREE” is the English word for “tree” and “Fujii” is the romanization of “藤井”. Putting them together it just becomes Fujii Tree!

Moreover, Fujii Itsuki's voice is clear and clean, similar to the voice of Yojiro Noda, which is very recognizable. As long as you put "Fujii" and "Fujii Itsuki" together, you can easily get the correct answer.

"Arina-san's song 'Gunqing' is so beautiful!"

"And the song "Fireworks" that I sang with Fujii-nii!"

"A handsome man and a beautiful woman, what a perfect match!"

Since the debut of the "TREE" group, Kawachi Ono has evolved from a personal fan of Matsumoto Arina to the number one CP fan of Fujii Itsuki and Matsumoto Arina.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing them get married and have kids!"

While browsing Matsumoto Arina's Twitter and eating the egg tarts made by Ogiwara Saki, Kawachi Ono suddenly realized that it seemed that Fujii Itsuki's real girlfriend was right next to her at this moment, but she was supporting the couple of Fujii Itsuki and another woman.

"what to do……"

The soft blueberry tart in his mouth seemed to have lost its taste, and Kawachi Ono slowed down his chewing.

To be fair, Ogihara Saki is gentle, beautiful, kind and considerate, and her cooking skills are the best she has ever seen.

And Matsumoto Arina is bright and beautiful, shining like a star, and is the girl idol in her mind.

“Saki-nee and Arina-nee are both so outstanding…”

"Can't Fujii-nii marry them all?"

Hanoi Ono stuffed the remaining half of the egg tart into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, and he thought to himself in a rather conflicted manner.

"Are you checking that vixen's Twitter again?"

Rolling her eyes at her best friend Kawachi Ono, Shimizu Ai pulled out a blank test paper from under her textbook.

"It's time to review your lessons, Ono-chan..."

"If you get into a good university, you can go to an entertainment company and chase stars up close."

Hearing what Shimizu Ai said, Kawachi Ono gently slapped her forehead with her small hand.

"That's right!"

"I almost forgot that there's this ultimate bro-con Ai-chan!"

"Arina-sister's chances of winning are slim..."

After turning off his cell phone, Kawachi Ono took out his textbook and started reviewing.

Seeing this, Ogihara Saki brought a stool and a reference book from Fujii Itsuki's room, sat down and began to read quietly.

In a dozen days, Shimizu Ai and Kawachi Ono will face one of the most important exams in their lives, the unified examination!

And Ogihara Saki is working hard to prepare for next year's teaching qualification exam.

Inside the bedroom, the atmosphere gradually quieted down, leaving only the sound of the pen tip rubbing against the draft paper.

……

……

At the same time, in Arakawa District, Chiba House.

"Shhh-"

They were not the only three of them who were bent over their desks and doing exercises to prepare for the exam. A girl with long golden hair was listening to music while writing and drawing on a piece of scratch paper with a pen.

"Hum-"

Humming along with the melody, Chiba Shinoko shook her slightly fleshy white legs and easily solved the last question on the math test.

"Done!"

Putting down the oil pen, she leaned her beautiful body backwards, and her T-shirt slowly stretched, revealing a small part of her fair and flat belly.

Chiba Xiaozi stretched comfortably and picked up the mobile phone on the table.

“This song sounds pretty good.”

In the center of the phone screen, the music player was playing the song "Probably" by the "TREE" group from Matsumoto Agency.

“By the way…”

"Who sang this song?"

Chiba Shinoko looked at the lyrics interface of the music software.

【Singer: Arina Matsumoto】

【Lyrics: Fujii】
