Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 33

On October 1996, 10, "Weekly Bunshun" broke the news about "Kondo Masahiko and Nakamori Akina's Love Crisis!" The queen of Hong Kong is the third party! 》

The romantic entanglements of three Asian superstars, epic gossip and scandals.

In this dark star world, Kondo Masahiko and Nakamori Akina are both at the peak of their careers. They are national-level golden boys and love fairy tales in Tokyo.

The two filmed a White Day commercial as a couple. The revenue from a 12-second commercial was 1 million yen. They also had brand endorsements, attendance at commercial events, etc., earning more than a billion yen every year.

…………

The Hong Kong diva is nicknamed "Mei Twenty-eight" because from the New Year's Eve of 87 to 88, she set a record of holding 28 consecutive concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

She, Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, and Chen Baiqiang are known as the "Three Kings and One Queen"

The "Three Kings and One Queen" basically monopolized the music awards of all sizes in the Hong Kong music scene. The emergence of the four pushed the Hong Kong pop music scene into a heyday and glorious period.

…………

Magazines and newspapers such as "Friday", "Weekly Modern", and "Women's Seven" followed and reported on it, occupying the front page headlines.

This scandal quickly spread from Tokyo and Hong Kong to South Korea, Southeast Asia, and the mainland...

There was a storm of public opinion across Asia, with fans quarreling and criticizing each other.

....................................

Bunta Takakura, who went to Yokohama City to find a foundry, was eating oden in a Lawson convenience store and reading the reports in "Friday" magazine.

"Friday" is a magazine owned by Kodansha. It uses exclusive leaked photos as a selling point to dig up various gossips in the entertainment industry.

Because the paparazzi are professional enough, have no moral integrity, and have no lower limit, the revelations are basically explosive and have high credibility.

"Friday" broke the news that "Little Sun of Harajuku Kobansho", "Full of sunshine and courage", Asami Ko Asase of the Public Relations Section of the Metropolitan Police Department, joined the cult and sold "holy objects".

…………

The story of this incident was roughly described in the magazine "Friday".

In 1991, Masahiko Kondo, who had debuted for 10 years, continued to gain momentum in the fields of movies, records, stage plays, and TV series.

The costume stage play "Stone Pine in the Forest" starring in it ran for 45 consecutive performances, and every venue was sold out.

In the same year, Kondo Masahiko visited Hong Kong and was warmly welcomed by the local entertainment industry.

At a grand cocktail party organized by Zeng Aizi, he briefly met Mei Yanfang, quietly planting a love in their hearts.

In 1992, Kondo Masahiko visited Hong Kong again for a concert.

As a fan, Mei Yanfang went to support her.

After the concert, just as Mei Yanfang was still thinking about it, the two met again at the celebration reception.

Liu Luanxiong was still introducing the two to get to know each other, but Kondo Masahiko already had a smile on his face and insisted that he had met her last year.

After the cocktail party, everyone went to the disco to dance.

In the psychedelic atmosphere, Kondo Masahiko said softly:
  "Can I kiss you"

Mei Yanfang teased the little deer, and in the night, the woman nodded in agreement.

The two of them kissed and fell in love.

…………

The next day, Kondo Masahiko also invited her to go shopping together.

Mei Yanfang gave up all her work and became an ordinary girlfriend for a day, walking on the streets with the man she liked.

The two also exchanged gifts as tokens of love, which was extremely romantic.

Years later, in an interview, Mei Yanfang also mentioned the diamond brooch given to her by Masahiko Kondo.

After Kondo Masahiko returned to RB, he read loudly the White Day postcard written by Mei Yanfang to him in the Ginza bar club to show off, and shared the chocolates sent by Xiangjiang with his friends.

Kondo Masahiko was eating chocolate, shaking a postcard filled with love words in his hand, and said proudly:
  "It's very skillful to chase girls and give them gifts. I will give you a gift, a moissanite worth 100 Hong Kong dollars, and the other party will treat it as a diamond worth tens of thousands."

"Hehehe, the Hong Kong girl has never seen the world and is reluctant to use it. She still locks it in the safe."

"I'm used to bland miso soup, so I just want to eat hot mapo tofu for a change... The cheapest roast chicken on Bolan Street in Xiangjiang costs several thousand Hong Kong dollars. I can't believe it. One hundred Hong Kong dollars to live as a Queen of Hong Kong for three years.”

"Juniors, learn a little bit..."      …

Kondo Masahiko, every night, calls Mei Yanfang from overseas for two or three hours.

The two seemed to have endless topics to talk about and could talk on the phone for two hours every night.

In this way, the relationship lasts for a long time, and the woman falls deeply into the man's "gentle land".

Only half a month later, Mei Yanfang traveled to Tokyo and Hong Kong for him, and also bought a small apartment in Hokkaido as a temporary love nest for the two of them, imitating RB's wife, doing laundry and cooking for him.

A staff member of Xiangjiang Records told "Friday":
  "Once I went to Hokkaido and saw her cleaning the toilet at home."

"Every day when Kondo Masahiko comes home, she kneels down to help him change his shoes. She really likes Kondo."

…………

However, Mei Yanfang, who loves so humblely, does not know that she is the "third party".

Although she asked Kondo Masahiko and Nakamori Akina several times about their relationship, the answer she received was: "Nakamori Akina and I have broken up."

It wasn't until the man got tired of playing with her that he said the classic saying of a scumbag in order to get rid of her:
  "Nakamori Akina can't live without me, but you can still live well without me."

..............................

In the next few days, Takakura Bunta conducted market research in the Yokohama Industrial Zone.

Reports on Masahiko Kondo on major television stations began to decrease.

Fuji TV, which has the best relationship with Johnny & Associates, appeared on the variety show "ホンマでっか!" ? TV" (really!? TV) inside.

It was revealed that when Akina Nakamori was at Yanyin Office, the company rewarded her with a luxury trip abroad every year, but Akina Nakamori insisted on bringing her entire family, even her grandmother, aunt, and uncle.

This troubled the reception staff.

…………

Then, NTV, which had just signed a variety show contract with Johnny's KinKi Kids, conducted a special news report on Akina Nakamori's Milky House agency.

It was revealed in the NTV program that Akina Nakamori completed the creation of the "Unthinkable" album while she was at the Kenyin Office, and deliberately repeated revisions and delayed the recording...

After establishing his personal agency Milky House, he will release this album in his own agency.

The album topped the Oricon chart for seven consecutive weeks, with sales reaching 46 copies.

After the program aired, Yanyin Office issued a statement that the company is conducting an internal investigation and the legal department is collecting relevant evidence.

…………

When the focus of public opinion began to slowly shift, the idol magazine "POTATO" owned by Johnny & Associates added to the fire.

The front page headline of "POTATO" reported that Nakamori Akina's mother, Chieko, was seriously ill and hospitalized.

"POTATO" also revealed the address of Chieko's hospital bed and the building where she was hospitalized.

A large number of reporters went to the hospital, making Akina Nakamori's mother Chieko unbearable.

Chieko's condition began to deteriorate and she underwent a tracheotomy. She could only eat liquid food to maintain her life.

…………

At this time, Johnny was closely connected with reporters from TV stations, magazines, and newspapers.

Photos of Masahiko Kondo taking a luxurious food box to visit Nakamori Akina's mother Chieko every day and staying at the hospital day and night were taken.

"Kondo Masahiko and Nakamori Akina's Love Crisis!" The queen of Hong Kong is the third party! 》The public opinion crisis has completely disappeared...

....................................

This is a period of fermentation of public opinion.

Sony record producer Keiko Kanda often calls Takakura Bunta and tells news about Akina Nakamori.

Takakura Bunta chimed in to provide emotional value, and joined in scolding the scumbag.

At the same time, the two of them had to admit that the Kitagawa siblings of Johnny & Associates had such a terrifying control over public opinion.
