Chapter 585: Not many people will come to the trial operation!

In the old house in Shimizu, Shizuoka, Hayato Nagayama said to his eldest son, Kumahara Nagayama, who returned:

"Kumahara, are you going to Tokyo?"

"Me?" The sturdy Kumahara Nagayama dismissed it, "I'm not going, just a nightclub..."

Although the Nagayama-gumi in Shimizu has planned to invest in opening a KTV, in his heart, this is just opening a source of wealth for the association, perhaps it can also give some older members in the association a way out.

In the eyes of Kumahara Nagayama, who is in his prime, expanding the territory of the Shimizu Yamaguchi-gumi and beating down the competing Sumiyoshi-kai and other organizations that keep popping up to challenge the association is the hard truth.

If he can monopolize the underworld income of Shimizu City or even Shizuoka Prefecture, this is much better than opening any nightclub! Because this represents not only wealth, but also power. At that time, he will be the underground emperor of Shizuoka!

However, Hayato Nagayama, who had experienced decades of fighting and killing, naturally knew who really held the power in this capitalist country; so what if one was an underground emperor? Couldn't they still not walk on the surface?

Seeing Kumahara Nagayama's appearance, he didn't refute much. Anyway, he will know slowly in the future. Before that, let himself lay a foundation for the association's whitewashing!

"Then I will go over by myself." Hayato Nagayama made a decision.

"Really?" Kumahara Nagayama asked strangely, "Old man, you haven't been out of Shizuoka for many years!"

Even going to the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters in Kobe for a meeting, he changed to Kumahara Nagayama himself.

"Haha, heard that the speed of development in Tokyo is very fast, one look every year. I will take this opportunity to go to Tokyo and see it well." Hayato Nagayama twisted his neck, feeling his increasingly thin body, "In the future, I guess there will be no chance."

Decades of underworld career have long caused irreparable damage to his body. Being able to live to this age is very rare in the Showa era.

"Then go! Just see that stinky boy Kaede Nagayama..." Understanding his father's character, Kumahara Nagayama didn't persuade him, but at such an old age, he naturally couldn't go alone, "Old man, who are you taking with you?"

"..."

The old man thought for a while, and then raised his head, "Kumahara, call everyone who has followed me for more than thirty years!"

"Thirty years?"

Starting from entering the association at the age of ten or twenty, thirty years later, they are all old people in their forties or fifties.

Hayato Nagayama is the leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi in Shimizu City, Shizuoka (also known as Shimizu Ikka), Kumahara Nagayama is the Wakato, then these old people are now either Wakato assistants or Shatei heads... In short, they are all middle and high-level cadres.

"Hmm, let them go with me to see." Hayato Nagayama said, a smile suddenly rose on his face, "Speaking of which, many of them went to Tokyo with me to plant flags when they were young!"

"..." Kumahara Nagayama curled his lips, "Old man, you are so old, don't talk about planting flags all day long, it's very discordant!"

"... What are you, an unfilial son, talking about!" Hayato Nagayama's expression couldn't hold, and he threw his eldest son out of the study with his arms.

"Qi~"

In the next few hours, underworld elders in Shimizu City and even other cities in Shizuoka came to this old house one after another.

Batches of underworld backbone personnel gathered, even making many associations feel threatened, thinking that the Shimizu Yamaguchi-gumi was going to do some big move~

Inside the TBS building, Akina Nakamori was resting and touching up makeup with the guests participating in the program in the large lounge.

Kyoko Koizumi next to her looked at Akina's white and red cheeks with envy:

"How can Akina's skin be so good... Obviously so busy every day! And just came back from being exposed to the sun!"

"Rely on sunscreen!" Akina said in a good mood, "And today's cosmetics!"

"What cosmetics have such a good effect!" Speaking of which, Kyoko Koizumi is also a round face full of collagen, but even with makeup, it is a bit yellowish.

The two little girls discussed the latest cosmetics and skin care products. While talking, Akina Nakamori suddenly thought of the trial operation of her boyfriend's new nightclub, always bring more friends and more popularity, so she asked Kyoko Koizumi:

"Kyoko-chan, are you free on weekend night?"

"Eh? Sunday?" Kyoko Koizumi estimated, it seems there is no work, "Yes, what's wrong, Akina-chan, are you going out to play together? Enjoy the night cherry blossoms?"

Recently, it is the cherry blossom season. The night cherry blossoms of Meguro River are the most beautiful time of the year, and the night cherry blossoms of Roppongi are also very good.

"No, a friend opened a new nightclub in Harajuku... called KTV, heard it's very interesting..." Akina Nakamori naturally didn't say Naoki Nagayama's name, "Trial operation on weekend night..."

"Nightclub? Trial operation?"

After Kyoko Koizumi heard this, she was also eager to try. Before she became famous, it was okay. Since she became famous, idol artists like them rarely can go to nightclubs openly, not to mention that neither of them is twenty years old.

If they were photographed by paparazzi, it would be a public relations crisis for the agency, and maybe they would be forced to apologize publicly.

"Hmm, a trial operation not open to the public." Akina Nakamori said, "Said let friends go to experience in advance, so as to improve what later."

Hearing Akina Nakamori say this, Kyoko Koizumi became more interested and immediately asked about the specific situation of KTV.

Just when the two were whispering, Hayami Yu in the same lounge saw it and immediately ran over to ask: "What's wrong, what's wrong, talking so happily!"

In the circle, Akina Nakamori doesn't have many good friends, these two can be considered good friends, so she also told Hayami Yu about KTV...

"Eh? Can you sing while following the music?" Hayami Yu also became curious.

"Hai, same as karaoke, but you can also see the screen and lyrics, and you sing in a private room, and won't be heard by others." Akina Nakamori explained, "There are many songs you can choose yourself..."

Different from the previous nightclubs, there are either band performances or professional singers singing for everyone. Customers can only sing along but cannot hold the microphone.

And in singing halls and bars, karaoke machines are placed in the public, and if you want to sing, you have to sing in front of everyone... Not everyone is a singer.

So the private space of KTV's new form is very attractive to those who just want to share singing with three or five friends.

After listening to Akina Nakamori's explanation, Hayami Yu and Kyoko Koizumi both decided to experience it!

However, what Akina Nakamori didn't expect was that these two have good popularity, so when chatting, they naturally told other friends about this.

When Akina didn't know, the news that "there is a very interesting new nightclub in Harajuku, which will have a trial operation not open to the public on weekend night" quickly spread in the top idol circle.

More coincidentally, when Naoki Nagayama was in the trial operation, he originally only planned to invite some friends he knew, so he didn't make invitations or anything, just oral notification.

Akina Nakamori didn't feel anything wrong when talking to friends, so she just notified orally.

And in the subsequent spread, everyone thought there was no limit...

So a strange consensus was formed: there is a new nightclub in Harajuku for trial operation, as long as you know the time and address, you can go, there is no threshold...

Many young idols are worried that they have nowhere to vent their energy at night...

The punks with colorful hair followed their big brother Rumin Sano's big brother to an old-fashioned bathing house.

Behind the wet wooden door is a steaming big bathhouse.

Don't know why, the people who come here to bathe are all covered in tattoos! And some guys are missing a lot of fingers...

After walking to the innermost part, a middle-aged man is lying on a bamboo bed, enjoying the back-scrubbing service of the master...

Takashi Ishii is the confidant of Seijo Inagawa, the first-generation president of the Inagawa-kai, and also the Wakato assistant of the Inagawa-kai.

Today, on a whim, he heard someone discussing the ridiculous things in Harajuku. The candidates for the younger brothers of the lower-level younger brothers of their Inagawa-kai were actually bullied!

And it was five people bullied by one person!

This made him, who was already in a bad mood because of the negotiations with the Sumiyoshi-kai, angry all of a sudden.

Is everyone daring to provoke the Inagawa-kai?

So he asked someone to call the few guys who were bullied to understand the situation.

After a few people were brought into the bathroom.

"What's your name?" Takashi Ishii didn't even lift his head, closed his eyes and asked directly.

"I... I am Rumin Sano!"

Rumin Sano saw such a high-level cadre for the first time, and just walked over from a group of fierce and evil guys. At this time, he was very nervous, simply dry-mouthed...

But he couldn't help but think of the scene of greeting Kaede Nagayama before, and said subconsciously,

"Nice to meet you, please take care of me..."

The bathhouse was a bit quiet, even the back-scrubbing master stopped, looking at the punk in front of him in surprise.

This child is really brave! Actually want to take care of Takashi Ishii, the Wakato assistant?! Who gave the courage!

The sound of water in the bathhouse was splashing, and the big brother who brought Rumin Sano in was sweating constantly, feeling what kind of bad luck he had today to bring this stupid boy to see Boss Ishii.

"Haha~"

Takashi Ishii was amused, raised his head and opened his eyes to look at the nervous young punk in front of him, a young face that was ignorant to stupidity...

Even felt that the originally unhappy mood was a bit better.

"Hmm, nice to meet you, I am Takashi Ishii, please take care of me in the future..."

Rumin Sano finally reacted, and explained very nervously: "Don't dare, don't dare... Ishii Wakato, ah no, Ishii Wakato assistant... ah no, Boss Ishii!"

Takashi Ishii couldn't listen anymore, shook his head and asked directly:

"Tell me about the nightclub you went to."

"Ah, hai!" Rumin Sano barely calmed down, "That was a new nightclub called KTV, providing singing service, and drinks and drinks..."

"Say the point!" The big brother who led the way scolded, "Who is their boss?"

"Ah, the boss is called Kaede Nagayama, a movie star." Rumin Sano said, "The one who filmed *Crows Zero*!"

Takashi Ishii became interested,

"A movie star, actually dare to provoke the Inagawa-kai? Which agency is it from?"

"It's a personal agency, but Kaede Nagayama is a relative of Naoki Nagayama of Tree Friend Film." The big brother who led the way helped explain.

"Naoki Nagayama? Tree Friend Film?" Takashi Ishii suddenly remembered, "Is that the guy who has a relationship with the Shizuoka branch of the Yamaguchi-gumi!"

When Naoki Nagayama was exposed for black material before, it was indeed mentioned that he had a relationship with the Yamaguchi-gumi, and he also let the Yamaguchi-gumi members in Tokyo warn the media that exposed the material. At that time, these underworld people heard a little bit more or less.

"In that case, is the Yamaguchi-gumi entering Harajuku?" Takashi Ishii instantly constructed a series of associations.

But the Inagawa-kai currently has a good relationship with the Yamaguchi-gumi, how could they suddenly come to Inagawa-kai's territory to plant flags without saying hello?

Takashi Ishii turned to look at his confidant younger brother, and that person immediately nodded and went out to scout.

Then he looked at Rumin Sano again: "Boy, how were you bullied by that guy? Did you report our Inagawa-kai's name?"

"Reported!" Rumin Sano remembered the magic sound of that day, the whole person shivered, and his tone brought a crying voice, "That guy didn't listen at all, instead he kept pulling us to listen to him sing!!!"

"??" The bathhouse was quiet again.

"Singing?!"

"Don't insult singing!!!" Rumin Sano collapsed and accused loudly, "That guy is torture!"

"..."

Takashi Ishii silently watched the guy who brought Rumin Sano in hit the punk's head hard, and remained silent.

But in his brain, he was thinking about what was going on, until the confidant younger brother who came back whispered a few words in his ear.

"No such thing?"

"Yes, the people from the Tokyo branch of the Yamaguchi-gumi said they have no industry in Harajuku, and no intention to plant flags."

"Hmm... This is strange." Takashi Ishii was curious, "Since it's not the Yamaguchi-gumi's idea, who gave Kaede Nagayama the courage?"

"... This... maybe it's just a normal opening?" The confidant younger brother guessed, "Kaede Nagayama is in the entertainment industry after all, and should have nothing to do with the underworld."

"Haha, which artist in the entertainment industry has nothing to do with the underworld."

Takashi Ishii said with a smile, "Forget it, don't care if it has anything to do with it, opening a nightclub in our Inagawa-kai's territory, we must go to congratulate it! When will they open?"

"This..." The confidant younger brother couldn't know such a small thing.

Rumin Sano was finally let go by his boss, and hurriedly interjected: "That guy said, weekend night, there is a trial operation!"

"Oh? Weekend night!" Takashi Ishii turned over and sat up, "Weekend is a good time to go to nightclubs!"

"Hai!" The confidant younger brother understood instantly, "I will notify everyone!"

"Don't have so many people, just a dozen or so~" Takashi Ishii waved his hand, "We are going to support! Must give the store manager a good impression!"

"Hai!"

Naoki Nagayama didn't expect at all that his nightclub would cause a backlash from the underworld.

In fact, regarding the underworld relationship of the nightclub, before the disco in Takadanobaba was developed, it was originally used as a warehouse, and there was no oil and water, so naturally no one paid attention.

After it developed, because Shizhi Araki's brother-in-law was a member of the Yamaguchi-gumi, under the host of the smooth Shizhi Araki, it naturally hung under the name of the Yamaguchi-gumi. After paying a certain protection fee every month, no accidents occurred.

This KTV in Harajuku is mostly handled by Kaede Nagayama. Originally, when a few punks came, talk well, maybe just hang under the Inagawa-kai according to the convention.

But Kaede Nagayama, as the third generation of the Nagayama-gumi, how could he pay protection money?! It's good if he doesn't collect others. So it caused trouble to Takashi Ishii, who happened to be in a bad mood...

However, at this time, neither Kaede Nagayama nor Naoki Nagayama knew.

Because Naoki Nagayama is busy filming the last few shots of *April Story*, and has run to the suburbs.

And Kaede Nagayama, but just received a phone call:

"Nani? Except for grandfather, those uncles and uncles are also coming? Nearly a dozen? That's okay."

"What, still need to bring some younger brothers? A total of more than fifty!"

"So many people!"

After hanging up the phone, Kaede Nagayama hurriedly calculated.

His own KTV has nearly twenty private rooms, the smallest private room has 5 people. Thinking so, the two super large private rooms are given to grandfather and them, and other internal invited personnel should be no problem!

"But drinks and things need to be prepared more, those in the trial operation may not be enough, these guys have no count when drinking!"

At this time, Naoki Nagayama is in Musashimurayama, further west of Musashino, a place called Sayama.

There is a feeling of a country town at the foot of the mountain here, especially in spring, when the birds are singing and the wild grass can reach people's waists.

The crew members found a relatively empty field and began to film the appearance of the protagonist Uzuki Nireno before coming to Tokyo, and how she secretly loved Yamazaki-senpai.

"Hi, Momoko-chan, change direction, face the wind!" Naoki Nagayama directed, "Let the wind blow your hair naturally, don't use your hands to brush it!"

And Momoko Kikuchi, wearing a pure blue sleeveless dress, also immediately turned a direction in the field, just facing Yutaka Ozaki standing in the distance on the other side.

That guy is filming a shot of playing guitar in the field!

"Momoko-chan, pick up the notebook, make a feeling of nostalgia..."

Naoki Nagayama kept guiding, wanting to film the feeling of a girl's spring heart in the best light.

Drove so far this afternoon, just for this moment! Of course... also filmed many other shots...

With the efforts of the crew members, finally caught up before the light dimmed, and filmed everything.

Shuichi Ido wiped his face and shook off the grass leaves blown to his face by the wind: "Naoki-san, this is considered complete, right!"

"Hmm, there are some supplementary shots tomorrow, but they are all small things!" Naoki Nagayama breathed the fresh air deeply, "Next is the editing work!"

"Tomorrow... aren't you still going to participate in the trial operation of KTV tomorrow?" Shuichi Ido asked.

"Almost can be completed in the morning. KTV is in the evening!" Naoki Nagayama said easily, "Besides, Kaede-dage is there to preside, and there is experienced Shizhi Araki... completely no problem!"

"I will go in the afternoon, nothing will happen!"

Shuichi Ido nodded and didn't say anything.

"By the way, Shuichi-san, your juniors will all go, right??" Naoki Nagayama suddenly remembered, "Speaking of which, those MVs are their credit!"

"Hmm, most of them will go..." Shuichi Ido smiled, "I told them drinks are free!"

"... Okay~"

Naoki Nagayama didn't worry about the turnover of a mere day.

"Who else did Naoki-san call?"

"Just some friends, TV station's, company's, and some young friends in the entertainment industry."

"There shouldn't be many people~"

"Not many..." ===== CHAPTER 586 =====
