Chapter 374: Is Mount Fuji private property?

A rare cloudy day, with white clouds and a blue sky.

The dazzling sun in the sky was blocked by white clouds, occasionally revealing a few bright beams of light from between the clouds, making the clouds look particularly holy.

The green bamboo surrounding Shanying Yuan also looked greener, masking the large small western-style building even more thoroughly. Even the tall cherry tree in the courtyard only slightly revealed a head from the green screen.

The owner of Shanying Yuan naturally got up early and was enjoying a life with both cats and dogs in the courtyard~

"Yoshi, good boy!"

Naoki Nagayama took a frisbee from Eitaro's mouth and then flicked it gently toward the outside. The round frisbee drew a soft curve in the air and flew toward the wall.

And a big white dog rushed out, catching it while the frisbee was still in mid-air, and then wagged its tail and returned to Naoki Nagayama's position again.

"Great!" Naoki Nagayama took the frisbee and scratched Eitaro's chin. "Eitaro, you have evolved into a mature frisbee dog!"

At this time, Miaotaro was lying on the wooden floor of the corridor, watching the person and dog playing in the courtyard, like an audience in a theater, watching the performance of the actors on stage.

Sometimes it would yawn, and its slightly unruly eyes revealed such meaning:

"Just this? Why don't you perform something with higher difficulty for the master?"

Naoki Nagayama touched Eitaro's body. It was already very hot, and now it was opening its mouth wide and sticking out its tongue, panting heavily. It looked like the morning run plus this play was enough exercise.

"Eitaro, that's enough for today~" He poured some water and small dog biscuits for the dog, comforting the still excited dog. "I'm going to take a shower, you rest too~"

The weather was hot, and the sweat-soaked sportswear from the morning had dried, but there was still a sticky feeling. Naoki Nagayama also went upstairs to take a shower.

After Naoki Nagayama, who was refreshed, went downstairs, he found that Eitaro in the courtyard was still running around. Was there any small animal?

After going out to check, he found that Eitaro had picked up a tennis ball, his previous toy, and put it next to the orange cat on the corridor, then wagged his tail and waited.

Miaotaro seemed to be a bit interested in this round ball. After playing with it a little, with a slight force, the tennis ball rolled down the steps between the corridor and the courtyard, and with the help of gravity and high speed, it actually jumped quite far~

Then Eitaro happily ran over to pick it up again, put it next to the orange cat, and the cycle started again!

The big orange cat was satisfied with the hand-itch of pushing things down from a high place, and the dog felt the joy of picking things up~

Well~ as long as you are happy~

Taking advantage of the good light, Naoki Nagayama sat on the corridor with the morning newspaper to watch.

The actions of the US-Soviet hegemony were becoming more frequent, coming and going in various fields.

Look, the US space shuttle "Challenger" took off, and an American female astronaut named Sally Ride flew into space.

After the Soviet Union monopolized the first and second female astronauts, the United States finally caught up.

"Another 8 years, the Soviet Union will dissolve."

Naoki Nagayama muttered the silhouette of the future in his mouth, but had no intention of participating in this major event at all. After all, by that time he should be wealthy and have a family, isn't it good to live his own peaceful life?

Just at this moment, the doorbell of Shanying Yuan rang~

Standing outside the door was Keiko Fujita in a decent women's suit. After seeing Naoki Nagayama through the iron gate, she immediately raised her hand to greet him: "Naoki-san, Ohayo~"

"Keiko-san, did you come over so early?" Naoki Nagayama hurriedly opened the door and welcomed the efficient real estate agent in. "Please come in~"

"Of course, this is Naoki-san's request!" Keiko Fujita, in a good mood, walked in with a briefcase, and then saw the big dog that curiously followed,

"Isn't this Eitaro? Do you still remember me?"

Keiko Fujita tried to touch Eitaro's head, and Eitaro hesitated slightly, but seemed to remember this guest who had been here before, and wagged his tail very politely.

"Eitaro still remembers me!"

Keiko Fujita smiled at Naoki Nagayama.

"Ha, childhood memories are always the most profound~" Naoki Nagayama welcomed Keiko Fujita into the living room and poured a glass of lemonade. "Was the road smooth?"

"A bit blocked, the morning peak had just passed... By the way, this." Keiko Fujita said while opening the briefcase, taking out a stack of documents, with photos and documents. "Naoki-san, this is the property in Kyoto! It was mailed from a colleague over there."

"Is that so? Really hard work~" Naoki Nagayama took the data and started to read it seriously.

Time passed bit by bit. Eitaro walked around the courtyard and living room, and even Miaotaro went to the automatic feeder to drink water once.

Just as he said on the phone, one was an old-style noble courtyard in Sakyo Ward, and the other was a modern villa courtyard in Kita Ward, Kyoto.

"Eh? Is there a shrine inside?" Naoki Nagayama looked at the red torii in the photo and asked in surprise.

Keiko Fujita leaned over and took a look: "Hai, there is a small hill in this old-style courtyard, which was originally a private temple for monks to practice."

This so-called private temple was actually a place where nobles in the past used to worship Buddha or gods. It was actually similar to the Buddhist hall in a rich family's home and the Buddhist niche in an ordinary family's home. However, the nobility in the past would really invite a monk to worship in the temple!

"A small hill, that's really big! Are there still monks practicing inside now?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"Now, of course, there are none. The descendant of that nobility can no longer afford the repair and maintenance of this courtyard. Except for the main house, the other landscapes in the courtyard are already a bit dilapidated~" Keiko Fujita sat on the side and added, "If Naoki-san chooses here, then the later renovation will also be an expense. The land itself is about 1.3 billion yen, plus renovation, it might be 1.5 billion~"

"Is that so?" Naoki Nagayama continued to read and was surprised again. "More than 1000 tsubo, the property actually includes an entire small hill? Does this mean this hill is the landlord's?"

"Hai!" Keiko Fujita was a bit strange. "Isn't this very normal? Even Mount Fuji is private~"

"Eh? Is Mount Fuji private?" Naoki Nagayama felt that he was indeed a foreigner.

As a real estate person, Keiko Fujita was more sensitive to property rights: "Yeah, Mount Fuji belongs to the Sengen Shrine! This has been judged by the court!"

"Really... amazing!"

This "amazing", I don't know if it was praising the Sengen Shrine or praising Japanese capital.

Naoki Nagayama continued to see the other property, which was only about 800 tsubo. It was a luxury courtyard in Kita Ward, Kyoto, redesigned from an old-style courtyard. It was renovated by the previous owner. Although it was relatively modern, it was also a pure Japanese style with tatami paper sliding doors.

However, this courtyard actually included a park, a park in Kita Ward, Kyoto city center...

"As expected in Japan, if you have money, you can get convenience beyond others' imagination!" Naoki Nagayama sighed.

Overall, the luxury house in Kita Ward, Kyoto, had modern decoration, convenient transportation, and the surrounding area was more prosperous, quiet in the middle of the noise; while the courtyard in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, had a large area! Ancient style and charm.

Keiko Fujita was still looking at Miaotaro walking slowly in the living room, very curious about when Naoki Nagayama raised an orange cat. After hearing Naoki Nagayama's words, she turned her head and asked:

"Naoki-san, which property do you prefer?"

Naoki Nagayama flipped through the data: "A bit of a choice difficulty~ Both places have their own advantages."

Keiko Fujita laughed on the side: "Haha, does Naoki-san want to buy both?"

"Haha, I can't take out that much capital for the time being~"

Naoki Nagayama calculated that he had more than 4 billion in his account. Buying them all wasn't a problem, but 1985 was coming soon, and he had to leave most of the money for asset appreciation.

"You really considered it~" Keiko Fujita covered her mouth. "I was just saying it casually."

"They are all good houses~"

The real estate agent young lady, who already thought highly of Naoki Nagayama, adjusted her mentality again: "If Naoki-san finds it difficult to decide, why not go to see it on the spot~"

"Hmm, I have to go see it, but I might not have time these two days."

Preparing for 'Crows Zero', and some things about Feng Nagayama.

"Daijobu, whenever you have time, just call me! During this period, I will also look for more properties to have more choices. Also, the land next to Lake Toya is also being searched for!"

"Hai, then thank you very much, Keiko-san!"

Naoki Nagayama said to this real estate agent with a smile. The two had traded properties three or four times. He also highly recognized the ability of this young lady.

When Naoki Nagayama sent the agent away, it was already nearly 11 o'clock. The young man who was idle in Shanying Yuan didn't want to cook himself and decided to go out for a meal.

Leaving a sentence: "Eitaro, Miaotaro, you watch the house!"

Then he drove out. There seemed to be a food street near Akasaka last time. The beef rice bowl before was very good. Other dishes there seemed to be worth tasting!

At this time, Daiko Nagato of Akasaka was holding a meeting in the company office. Besides Tetsuro Oda of Being Records, Yutaka Ozaki and Tetsuya Komuro of the Rebellion label where Yutaka Ozaki was located were all participating.

"Minasan, the main song for Ozaki-san's next album has been dragged on for too long. Today, we must make a final decision!"

Daiko Nagato said and put several audition tapes on the desk. "These are the songs provided by several people. I have already asked people to make audition tapes."

The audition tapes here included Yutaka Ozaki's own '15 no Yoru', Akira Sudo's 'Koi no Kimochi', Tetsuya Komuro's 'Kinyoubi no Lion', and Tetsuro Oda's 'Yakudou suru Seishun', etc.

"Hai~~"

Hearing Daiko Nagato's words, several people were not surprised. It was indeed time, but several people were confident in their songs, thinking that their songs were absolutely excellent and could not be compared.

"This is the trouble that only a group of talented people together can cause~"

Daiko Nagato complained in his heart, but today I have prepared a surprise for you!

So he said: "Since this is the case, let's listen to it again! And then express your opinions!"

Several people in the meeting room didn't deny it. Such meetings had been held two or three times, and wasn't it still undecided in the end?

Starting from Yutaka Ozaki's own song '15 no Yoru', Daiko Nagato played them one by one. Nostalgic youth, love feelings, enthusiastic youth, repressed youth, etc., each song fit the theme of "youth", as if making people feel the time they had spent.

After the four songs were played, several people wanted to start stating their reasons, but Daiko Nagato continued to insert an audition tape into the player.

Why is there another one?

A thought just emerged in everyone's mind, and suddenly they were caught by the relaxed piano melody. The relaxed male voice, still with a little bit of a teenager's duck voice, was like a shy teenager, narrating his youth love in the music:

"Kimi ga mae ni tsukiatteita hito no koto (When you confessed to me about the person you dated before)

Boku ni uchiakete kureta toki (When you confessed to me)

Sunao ni kiite agerarezu ni (I couldn't listen frankly)

Sabishii omoi o sasete shimatta ne (I made you feel lonely, right)"

"Issho ni irareru dake (Just being able to be together)

Te to te o kasane aeru dake de yokatta ne (It was good just to hold hands)"

The melody of this song echoed in the meeting room, and the sincere lyrics also echoed in everyone's ears.

Yutaka Ozaki, Akira Sudo, Tetsuya Komuro, and Tetsuro Oda were all silent for a long time. It was not a song of the same level!

"This song..." Akira Sudo opened his mouth.

Daiko Nagato saw that several people were stunned, and didn't continue to hit them: "This song is called 'Yakimochi' (Jealousy), it's Naoki-san's song."

"Naoki Nagayama?" Tetsuro Oda couldn't believe it. "Isn't he focused on songs for women?"

"Nonsense!" Tetsuya Komuro hurriedly corrected his boss. "Ozaki-san's debut song was created by Naoki-san!"

"Naoki-san?" Yutaka Ozaki was also surprised. "Did Naoki-san create a song specifically for my album?"

Daiko Nagato smiled: "This wasn't specifically created. When I was chatting with Naoki-san before, it happened to be mentioned that Ozaki-san's new album was on the theme of youth, and then it happened that Naoki-san had such a work."

"Is it actually stock..." Yutaka Ozaki was a bit lost. It wasn't specifically created.

However, being able to sing such a song seemed to be very good too!

Seeing that all the geniuses had put away the arrogance on their faces, Daiko Nagato let out a sigh of relief. "Looks like, you all have no opinion on this song as the main song, right?"

"."

You tell me, they are not on the same level!

Watching the others still not speaking, Daiko Nagato swept away the suffocation of being blocked by them in the previous meetings, but he didn't overly stimulate these guys. After all, he still had to rely on them to continue creating songs in the future~

"Since this is the case, Ozaki-san, practice this song well during this time. I believe you will sing it better than the singer on the audition tape!"

"Hai." Yutaka Ozaki raised his spirits.

"As for the other songs, they are all excellent songs! Each has its own advantages. It is fortunate to be able to gather together this time!" As the president, Daiko Nagato used his silver tongue to encourage all the musicians.

Yutaka Ozaki, Akira Sudo, Tetsuya Komuro, Tetsuro Oda, and others gradually cheered up in his voice.

"Minasan, cheer up!

This time, we are going to produce an album with sales exceeding one million!"

"Hai!!" x4

In the meeting room of Being Records, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly enthusiastic!

Suddenly discovered a leader this morning, so surprised! Thanks to @Gumei gum for the strong support! I will work harder!
