Chapter 475: Just tidy up and debut!

After simply enjoying a night of hot spring bathing, Naoki Nagayama embarked on the return journey early the next morning.

The airport near Lake Toya is in Sapporo. Naoki Nagayama had to take Keiko Fujita back to Sapporo before he could fly back to Tokyo.

After tossing and turning, it was almost noon when he arrived in Tokyo.

After parting with Keiko Fujita at Tokyo International Airport, Naoki Nagayama took the subway back to Shanyingyuan.

After not seeing it for a few days, the cherry blossoms in the courtyard were blooming even more beautifully. This was the season that was both weak and beautiful. A slightly strong wind blew, and some pink petals would grab the wind and fly into the sky, then drift and fall outside the wall of Shanyingyuan.

After opening the gate of the courtyard, Naoki Nagayama paused slightly. When he came back before, he suddenly bumped into a girl who was dressed very coolly. This time, he had to be cautious!

Naoki Nagayama first rang the doorbell:

"Eitaro! Miaotaro! Are you home?"

After hearing the "Wang Wang" barking, he felt relieved, and then saw the big white dog running to the front happily, circling Naoki Nagayama constantly, and its tail like a small stick kept knocking on Naoki Nagayama's thigh.

"Yoshi, Eitaro, did you miss me too?" Grabbing the dog's head and rubbing it constantly, Naoki Nagayama felt much better.

After walking into the living room, there was no one else in Shanyingyuan. It was also true that at this time, Hezi should be in class.

However, seeing the snacks on the coffee table and the girl's comics on the sofa, he knew that Hezi must have lived here very comfortably these few days...

Casually rua-ing the Miaotaro who walked past his feet, Naoki Nagayama climbed up to the bedroom on the second floor, took a few sets of clothes to change, and if there was nothing to delay, he would go to Izu Oshima this afternoon~

Thinking about it, he still called the studio:

"Otomo-san?"

"Hai, Naoki-san?" Otomo Yoshimura answered the phone for the first time. "Did Naoki-san return to Tokyo?"

"Hmm, just came back at noon." Naoki Nagayama said, "I was originally going to Izu Oshima to find Xiu-san this afternoon, but I still called to ask, does the company need me to handle anything?"

"Of course!" Otomo Yoshimura said full of complaints, "Chikako-chan's promotion plan, the distribution of *Crows Zero*, the recruitment of new employees, and Ozaki Yutaka, Ito Junko, Saito Yuki..."

Item by item made Naoki Nagayama's scalp numb: "Otomo-san, please spare me! So many things..."

"This is to let Naoki-san know about your importance!" Otomo Yoshimura felt very happy after a burst of output. "However, other than that, there is one thing that still needs Naoki-san to handle as soon as possible."

"Nani?" If there was only one thing, then there was absolutely no problem!

"Regarding the launch of the *Twilight Meow Meow* program, Etsuro Kikuchi has looked for me many times!" Otomo Yoshimura said this. "At least there should be some action!"

"Hmm, this point..." Naoki Nagayama estimated the time and felt that Fuji TV's Tai Sugiura should have cleared his schedule. "Otomo-san, help me make an appointment with Yasushi Akimoto of TBS. I will go ask Tai Sugiura in the afternoon... Let's go out for a drink together in the evening! Bring Etsuro Kikuchi too!"

"Tonight? Isn't Naoki-san going to Izu Oshima?"

"I was originally..." Naoki Nagayama laughed. "But now, I have to let Xiu-san wait a little longer... Hahaha~"

When he came to Fuji TV again, Naoki Nagayama still remembered meeting Akina Mori for the rehearsal of the FNS Music Festival here, but today, he probably wouldn't meet her~

He walked familiarly to the floor where Tai Sugiura worked, but found that the original workstation of Tai Sugiura was empty, and even Rumi Nishi next to him was nowhere to be seen.

Just when he wanted to find someone with a kind face to ask, he heard Rumi Nishi's voice not far away:

"Naoki-san!"

"Rumi-san, why is your workstation empty?" Naoki Nagayama asked curiously.

"Haha, this is because Tai-san will be specifically responsible for the *Twilight Meow Meow* project later, and he also has to be a branch president, so he changed to an office..."

"Oh? Promoted?" Naoki Nagayama followed Rumi Nishi with a smile and walked toward the new office.

"Not yet! Not enough seniority!" Rumi Nishi whispered.

Tai Sugiura was already a group leader. To reach the section chief, besides the seniority limit, it also required a new department within the TV station.

Come to think of it, if the operation company of the Twilight Meow Meow idols, the Kitten Club, really made it, after establishing a separate section, this section chief would be Tai Sugiura's.

Rumi Nishi led Naoki Nagayama to the outside of a small office, and the *Twilight Meow Meow* preparation group on the sign had already been hung up.

"Naoki-san!"

There were only four desks in the office, and two were currently occupied. Tai Sugiura was at the desk in the innermost part.

"Tai-san, congratulations on moving... workstation... Hahaha~"

"This is all because of the new program!" If the upper level hadn't seen the potential of this program, Tai Sugiura wouldn't have had such an opportunity so quickly.

"Speaking of the new program." After a few pleasantries, Naoki Nagayama went straight to the point. "Tai-san, when does Fuji TV plan to start?"

"Currently, our personnel configuration here has been completed!" Tai Sugiura said. "Although there are only two people in this office, the studio of the TV station and other manpower have all been clarified.

If Naoki-san didn't come today, I would also have asked Naoki-san to come to a meeting next week."

Today is Friday, so next week is just right.

"Haha, since it's such a coincidence, why don't we hold the preparation meeting today, unify our opinions, and officially start the program next week." Naoki Nagayama suggested with a smile. "Does Tai-san have time this afternoon?"

"This... is a bit sudden, right? Yasushi Akimoto-san and Kikuchi-san of the operation company haven't come yet."

Naoki Nagayama smiled even more brightly: "I called Akimoto-san before I came, and he has no problem this afternoon. As for Kikuchi-san, I'm afraid he can't wait!"

Tai Sugiura didn't worry after hearing this: "Then let's hold the preparation meeting! Naoki-san, should I invite them all over?"

"Ha, how can that be!" Naoki Nagayama blinked. "How can a meeting in the entertainment industry be so serious? Tai-san, let's go!"

"Eh?... This?... Alright!"

Three different words fully expressed Tai Sugiura's psychological process from surprise to entanglement to reluctance, vividly acting out the image of an upright person under public relations pressure.

If it weren't for the smile at the corner of his mouth, Naoki Nagayama would have been deceived!

The two tacitly didn't invite Rumi Nishi together. After all, such a meeting only needed people who could make decisions.

Roppongi in the afternoon didn't have the lights and wine of the night, but most clubs had already opened.

Naoki Nagayama and Tai Sugiura, as the initiators, naturally arrived first and found a new store with good decoration.

As soon as Tai Sugiura entered the door, the knowledgeable Mama-san couldn't speak: "Mama-san, please find the two youngest little sisters to talk to us!"

"Ano, guest-san, our club is a regular store, and the ladies who chat with guests are all adults!" Seeing the change in the Mama-san's face, she clearly regarded Tai Sugiura as someone with strange hobbies, and called out in psychological disdain, "Where did this greenhorn come from? Can such things be said openly?"

However, Tai Sugiura's face didn't change:

"Mama-san, rest assured, we are not police officers investigating undercover! There are so many clubs in Roppongi, and it's not like there aren't girls who come out to earn living expenses in high school.

Because we have serious business, we need to understand the thoughts of girls in this age group."

Mama-san still maintained a serious expression: "Guest-san, we are really a regular store, and we won't allow such girls to work... However, if the guest-san wishes, we have a few girls with baby faces here..."

"Hai, let's have them." Tai Sugiura agreed immediately, and then said to Naoki Nagayama, "Actually, it must be underage hostesses!"

Although Japan is only an adult at 20, girls only need to be 16 to get married, which has caused a lot of fuzzy areas.

Naoki Nagayama looked at Tai Sugiura's appearance of being used to it, and sighed in his heart. There are no good people in the entertainment industry!

Soon, Mama-san brought two very young hostesses, named Xingye and Youzhu.

Tai Sugiura chatted with the two very naturally: "Xingye-chan, Youzhu-chan, do you usually pay attention to talent shows?"

"Of course!" Youzhu said lively. "Many idols came out of talent shows. The idol I like also!"

"Which idol does Youzhu-chan like?"

"Haha~ Seiko-chan! You can tell from my hair~"

Xingye on the other side also interjected: "I'm different, I like Akina-chan!"

Naoki Nagayama listened to the two young girls discussing their idols. Sure enough, at this time, Seiko Matsuda and Akina Mori already had the trend of occupying half the sky in the future!

Tai Sugiura integrated into the topic very harmoniously: "Have Youzhu-chan and Xingye-chan considered participating in a talent show?"

Youzhu and Xingye looked at each other in surprise, and then laughed: "How is that possible? We don't have any particularly outstanding talents."

"Yeah, singing is average, and dancing is not good either."

"Can't~ can't~"

"Who said that? Youzhu-chan and Xingye-chan are both very cute~ Naoki-san, don't you think so?"

Tai Sugiura cued Naoki Nagayama, and then asked again,

"If there is such a talent show with relatively low requirements, and you will help release records if you have a certain popularity... that is, the feeling that you can debut after tidying up casually, would you be interested?"

Youzhu and Xingye laughed very happily: "Of course! We will definitely sign up to participate!"

"Really? Hahaha~ Maybe it will come out soon!" Tai Sugiura joined the laughter, and the whole booth was full of laughter.

After chatting for a while, Otomo Yoshimura led the chubby Yasushi Akimoto and the lean Etsuro Kikuchi to the club.

"Naoki-san, Tai-san!"

"Otomo-san is here, and Akimoto-san and Kikuchi-san!"

Naoki Nagayama and Tai Sugiura stood up to welcome the three. After greeting, they sat down and toasted each other a few glasses of wine. After a slight drunkenness, they began to talk about serious matters.

Tai Sugiura took out the posture of the general person in charge: "Akimoto-san, Kikuchi-san, Otomo-san, and Naoki-san, starting next week, our program will officially start!"

"Hai!" Several people nodded unevenly. "Waited for a long time, finally can!"

"So far, it is arranged at 5 o'clock on Monday night. *Twilight Meow Meow*, just at that time period." Tai Sugiura said. "At the beginning, it was once a week, but the minister has promised that if the ratings meet the standard, it can be increased to three times a week, or even broadcast every day!"

"This is also a routine operation." Yasushi Akimoto is also a producer, naturally knowing, "Actually, the TV station is still very optimistic about this program, otherwise it wouldn't be broadcast at 5 o'clock in the afternoon when the ratings are quite good."

"Hmm, the station trusts our program very much! This trust cannot be let down!" Tai Sugiura's tone became serious. "Regarding the start-up matters, we need to clarify today."

Tai Sugiura looked at Yasushi Akimoto and raised his glass: "Akimoto-san, you are also the producer of the program, so it is you and me cooperating in the studio, including stage construction, script, on-site director, etc... Next week, you are responsible for building the studio, and the script for the first issue must also be completed!"

"Hai, I understand!" Yasushi Akimoto touched a glass.

"If there are any problems with resources, I will help coordinate!"

After Tai Sugiura drank a glass of wine, he turned to Etsuro Kikuchi again: "Kikuchi-san, we are also familiar. We have contacted many times when we were at the Burning Agency. For this cooperation, please give me more advice!"

"Where is that!" Etsuro Kikuchi understood his status very well. "Tai-san, please give me more advice."

"Haha, I know you have already started looking for the first batch of girls to participate. Next week, the list of the first batch to participate in the recording needs to be determined!"

"Hai!"

Tai Sugiura finally saw Naoki Nagayama and Otomo Yoshimura: "Naoki-san, Otomo-san, regarding the joining of the Cat's Eye Sisters and the subsequent program recording, you need to work hard!"

Otomo Yoshimura raised his glass: "Duty-bound!"

"Then, I wish our program a hit!" Tai Sugiura raised his glass and touched it with everyone, full of confidence and joy.

Naoki Nagayama also echoed and toasted to celebrate, very happy with everyone, but his heart was very calmly observing the behavior of several people.

Tai Sugiura was promoted and was the person in charge of the program, obviously a bit proud; Yasushi Akimoto had a smile on his face, but his eyes were flashing, secretly calculating; Etsuro Kikuchi was humble and echoed Tai Sugiura, wanting to hug his thigh; Otomo Yoshimura and Naoki Nagayama were the same, considering this team in his heart...

A group of people with different minds, working together to complete this project, what will happen?

Naoki Nagayama was very certain that the first two years would definitely be popular in the entertainment industry! However, two years later, the idol industry would collapse as soon as it said it would. The people here might become another look!

However, no matter what, *Twilight Meow Meow* is about to go online!

Minasan, tidy up and debut! ===== CHAPTER 476 =====
