Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 27 The Target in the Nightclub

Chapter 27 The Target in the Nightclub
“I heard that Hanyu-kun has already started his own business during the few days I’ve been away?”

In the living room of Yukio Tanaka’s house, Hideki Hanyu, Yukio Tanaka, and Masa Yanai were sitting at the tea table.

Yukio Tanaka drank the tea Yanai was brewing and asked with great interest.

“What kind of entrepreneurship, compared to Xingxiong-san’s garment factory, is nothing more than a small business.”

Hideki Hanyu also took a sip of tea. The tea made by the richest man in the future is not something ordinary people can enjoy, and the taste is really different.

“Small fights? Asako-san, I know, a very capable woman, if she didn’t want to make some achievements, she would definitely not start a business.” Tanaka Yukio obviously recognized Hirohashi Asako’s ability.

“Our Cloud Image has just accepted an advertising project, and the theme of the advertising has just been determined before coming here, so it’s too early to talk about the results.” Hideki Hanyu said helplessly.

“If you want a project, go to Yanai-kun. Ogori Shoji has two seasons of clothing advertisements to shoot every year.”

Yukio Tanaka is helping Hanyu Hideki to pull the project.

Yanai Masa, who was concentrating on the tea ceremony, smiled slightly when he heard the words, “If Hanyu-san is interested, you can come and have a talk, anyway, it’s the same for anyone, but…”

Speaking of this, Yanai Masa’s tone changed, “Ogori Shoji’s advertising partner is Dentsu, and Hanyu-kun also needs to communicate with Dentsu.”

Hideki Hanyu heard what Yanai Masa meant. The advertising company that Yunying Pictures is currently cooperating with is Hakuhodo. If they want to accept the advertisements of Ogori Shoji, they must cooperate with Dentsu, Hakuhodo’s competitor.

“No problem, our relationship with Hakuhodo is just an ordinary partnership, and it will not affect the Dentsu project.”

At the beginning of the establishment of Yunying Pictures, Hideki Hanyu told the three partners that although they have cooperated with Hakuhodo twice, they must not be tied too deeply with Hakuhodo.
After all, in the world of neon, Dentsu is the boss, and it is absolutely impossible to get around if you want to become bigger.

“Hey, I talked about work with Asako-san before, but I still talk about work when I come to Yukio-san, can we talk about something else.” Hideki Hanyu complained.

“Why don’t you go to the nightclub, Hanyu-san, how about the Alife nightclub? Have you been approached by a beautiful woman?” Yukio Tanaka had a smug expression on his face.

“I said Yukio-san, didn’t you bring a girl with you on this trip? Why is it still like this? I thought I was going to start a family when I came back.”

“Hey, don’t mention it, that girl is too boring and really not suitable for me, so I left her to accompany my mother to continue the trip, and I ran back early.” Yukio Tanaka said with a dull face.

Hideki Hanyu thought to himself, this guy is not afraid that the girl will follow the route of mother-in-law and directly decide the marriage.

Forget it, after all, it is a matter of other people’s life. Hideki Hanyu has always disliked being involved in friends’ emotional problems.

“Hey, let’s not talk about my affairs, tell me if you have gained anything in Alife?” Yukio Tanaka changed the topic back.

“To be honest, since Yukio-san gave the card to me, I haven’t been there yet because I’m too busy.” Hanyu Hideki spread his hands.

“What? I haven’t been there yet. It’s such a waste. Does Hanyu-kun know how difficult it is to get that card?”

Yukio Tanaka slapped the table while talking, “In this case, why don’t we go together today and see who is the most popular among girls!”

As soon as Yukio Tanaka said this, he found that the eyes of the two friends around him changed when they looked at him.

“Yukio-san is sure?” Hideki Hanyu asked.

“I think going with Hanyu-san, this kind of competition is unnecessary.” Yanai Zheng followed.

“Hey, Hanyu-kun is indeed liked by girls, but! I believe some girls will also see my connotation.”

Yukio Tanaka still didn’t give up, and waved his hand, “Go! Let’s go!”

The three left as soon as they said they would, and Yanai Masa’s driver drove the three of them straight to Roppongi.

This Alife is indeed a nightclub highly recommended by Yukio Tanaka. It was only nine o’clock in the evening when they arrived. When the three got off the car, they saw a long queue at the door, and they would definitely not be able to get in for an hour.

Fortunately, they have a VIP card that skips the line. Under the envious eyes of customers in line, Hideki Hanyu and Yukio Tanaka took out the card and brought Yanai Masa inside.

The moment they stepped through the door, they were overwhelmed by the sound of moving music, and they had to shout if they wanted to communicate.

Under the leadership of the waiter, the three sat on the seats on the second floor.

As soon as he sat down and ordered wine, a girl leaned over and asked Hanyu Hideki, “Handsome, can we go down and dance together?”

Hanyu Hideki glanced at the girl who was speaking, and saw that she was dressed as a white-collar woman who came to relax after get off work. She had a good figure, but her appearance was not up to the standard that would tempt him, so she politely declined.

“Hey, this guy has a good figure.” Yukio Tanaka said regretfully after the girl left.

“Yukio-san, you can go if you’re interested.” Hanyu Hideki pouted.

“Hanyu-kun don’t want it, I’ll try it!”

Yukio Tanaka resolutely caught up with the girl who was leaving, but without knowing what to say, the girl smiled and went off to the dance floor with Yukio Tanaka.

“Yukio-san is indeed a veteran, won’t Yanai-san find a girl to dance with?” Hanyu Hideki asked Yanai Masa.

He remembered that the richest man in the future seemed to be married and had children, but Nihong had never been very demanding of men in this regard.

An heir to a family business like Yanai Masa would be considered a good husband if he didn’t raise a few lovers outside.

“I’m not interested yet. Hanyu-san will act if he finds a target, don’t worry about me.” Yanai Masa said.

But just after Yanai Masa finished speaking, Hanyu Hideki was about to answer, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the bar counter, and immediately said, “Yanai-san, then I’ll act first.”

Hanyu Hideki went downstairs and went straight to the bar, and within a short time when he came to the front, he saw two groups of men approaching his target. He really deserved to be the famous beauty of Showa.

Keiko Matsuzaka is in a particularly bad mood these days because of his movie “The Gate of Youth”.

This film, adapted from the original work of the same name by the well-known writer Hiroshi Itsuki, was prepared by Toei and directed by the famous director Yoshisuke Kurahara. It was a project that attracted the attention of the industry from the beginning.

She played the role of the heroine Ibuki Tae, and many actresses in the industry want to get it.

In order for Toei to borrow her from Shochiku Yinghua, the film producer Kusakabe Goro went to Shochiku Yinghua several times, kneeling down and begging.

It wasn’t until the two presidents of Toei and Shochiku met and discussed in person that they finally agreed to let her play.

But it was such a difficult role to get, and he even did not hesitate to play a large-scale sex scene in the movie for the first time, but after the movie was released, he did not get the desired results.

Not only was the box office poor and her reputation was mediocre, but her role as Ibuki Tae was picked up by film critics and compared with Sayuri Yoshinaga who played Ibuki Tae in Toho’s 1975 version of “The Gate of Youth”.

As a result, everyone naturally thought Sayuri Yoshinaga performed better, otherwise she wouldn’t be unhappy.

Coupled with the poor sales of the movie’s theme song, how could Keiko Matsuzaka be in a better mood.

In order to help her relieve her emotions, a female friend outside the circle made an appointment to relax at a recently popular nightclub. As a result, when she arrived, her friend was unable to come because of something.

Matsuzaka Keiko originally planned to have a drink and leave, but before she finished her drink, there were several waves of men coming up to strike up a conversation. Naturally, she didn’t give a good face when she was in a bad mood, and sent them all away.

Who would have thought that this wave had just been driven away, and before he could relax, someone sat down next to him.

I thought he was here to talk to her again, but Keiko Matsuzaka waited for a while, only to find that the other party didn’t talk to her at all.

Looking at her curiously, he found a handsome face smiling at her. It was Hideki Hanyu who he had seen on TV Asahi a week ago.

“What a coincidence, Matsuzaka-san, it looks like I’m in a bad mood today.”
