Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 58 Golden Screen

"Mahihiko Kondo announced that he will hold a press conference."

""Weekly Modern" photographed the golden screen at the press conference layout..."

After Kanda Keiko hung up the phone, she talked about the latest information.

"Golden Screen" has a strong symbolic meaning in RB.

Generally, golden screens are erected only when wedding news is announced. The legendary idol Yamaguchi Momoe and her boyfriend Miura Yuka used this background in their wedding press conference.

Sure enough, the intuition of the strongest creature in the sea, land and air was verified again...

Takakura Bunta opened a bottle of Kyoishiya Isekakuya ale, took a big sip, and said:
  "Kanda, contact Nakamori Akina immediately and be sure to persuade her."

Kanda Keiko: "Hi!"

…………

Kondo Masahiko's "Yuyaki no Song" album is released for the sixth week.

Kondo Masahiko's agent also announced that he will hold a press conference to introduce the recent situation.

The next day, the manager of Akina Nakamori's personal agency Milky House, Kosugi Riuzo.

He announced in an interview with the media that Akina Nakamori and Masahiko Kondo will hold a joint press conference.

After the news was released, major media reported it one after another, especially after the "golden screen" arrangement of the press conference was photographed by a reporter from "Weekly Modern".

After the public opinion storm formed, manager Riuzo Kosugi told the news to Akina Nakamori, who was preparing a new song in the recording studio.

…………

The focus of public opinion across the country is on Kondo Masahiko and Nakamori Akina, a pair of golden girls who have gone through ups and downs.

This is the return of the prodigal son, a change of heart and a new life.

…………

The sales gap between Kondo Masahiko and Namie Amuro in the sixth week of the album "Yukiyaki no Uta" suddenly widened again, with a sales lead of 4 copies, and continues to hold the top spot on the Oricon Chart Weekly.

However, in the dark world, compared to the previous life, the social atmosphere has completely deteriorated.

Dark events are the first traffic.

Therefore, compared to the explosive news that Kondo Masahiko won three queens before, the popularity of the prodigal son's return is still within control.

If at that time, Kondo Masahiko signs the "Dark Gambling Agreement" and the album dominates the Oricon chart for 12 weeks, it will definitely be easily achieved...

In the seventh week, "Yukiyaki no Song" still maintained its weekly championship, but the sales gap with "Try Me" began to narrow again to 1 copies...

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

The seventh week of the release of the album "Yuyaki no Song", Saturday, the conference center on the fourth floor of Moriyama Building.

When reporters arrived at the meeting, Johnny & Associates indeed erected a gold screen.

Akina Nakamori wore a gray suit jacket with a white inner shirt.

Under the leadership of her agent, Riuzo Kosugi, from her personal agency Milky House, she arrived at the press conference on time.

However, Kondo Masahiko has not arrived at the scene.

As a result, the reporters asked a round of informal and crazy questions to the confused Akina Nakamori, and the scene was very embarrassing.

An hour and a half later, Kondo Masahiko entered the venue and the press conference was officially held.

…………

Kondo Masahiko stood up first and bowed skillfully: "Hello everyone, I am Kondo Masahiko."

"I just accompanied President Mary Kitagawa and the director of Juntendo Hospital to visit Johnny & Associates, so I'm late..."

"I'm really sorry……"

When Nakamori Akina heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

At the suggestion of her manager Riuzo Kosugi, she stood up in confusion and bowed to apologize.

…………

Kondo Masahiko, seeing Nakamori Akina's condition, nodded with satisfaction, and then said:

"First of all, I think we should be happy that Akina appears in front of everyone again."

"Of course not only me, but all the media here should cheer her on."

"Although I have kept silent about what happened last time, in fact I feel very uncomfortable."

"I am very happy to have this opportunity to explain the situation."

"This year is a crucial year for my debut as a singer. My goal is to win the first dark gambling agreement in the RB music industry. In the future, there will be TV series, movies, new songs, racing and other activities."

“I have full confidence in this dark gambling agreement!!!”

After Kondo Masahiko finished his speech, there was a burst of gunfire and flashing lights.

This is RB's second celebrity artist to publicly sign a "Dark Gambling Agreement" after Ikuko Iijima.

…………

The reporter from "Weekly Modern" took the lead in asking the question: "Sorry, I have to ask this question at this time."    "Excuse me. Why did Ms. Akina Nakamori decide to commit suicide at that time?"

"There are rumors that Kondo has a relationship with his family and was caused by Johnny & Associates... so fans are very worried..."

Nakamori Akina glanced at Kondo Masahiko with pleading eyes. The other person had a bright smile and looked in the direction of the camera, completely ignoring Nakamori Akina's gaze.

Akina Nakamori choked up and said: "In fact, it is very difficult to make it clear..."

"Because the matter is too long and complicated, I really can't explain it clearly in a short press conference..."

Kondo Masahiko interrupted and said: "Akina, muster up your courage. Since you offered to hold this press conference, you must make the matter clear..."

A reporter at the scene asked: "The place where he committed suicide was Mr. Kondo's apartment, right?"

Nakamori Akina was silent for a moment and said:

"Yes, I don't know why I did such a stupid thing when I think about it now."

"The people I once trusted the most can no longer trust me..."

Nakamori Akina's agent, Kosugi Riuzo, winked at Kondo Masahiko, interrupted Nakamori Akina's words again, and said:

"Akina, this is because we have caused trouble for Kondo Masahiko. I am preparing to write an apology statement in the name of my personal agency Milky House after the press conference."

Nakamori Akina looked at her agent Kosugi Riuzo, then turned to look at Kondo Masahiko, as if she understood something...

"I was really stupid."

"Causing harm to the people I cherish most."

"I am very grateful to him. No amount of words of thanks are enough."

"I have brought unimaginable trouble to Mr. Kondo Masahiko, and nothing I do can make up for it."

Nakamori Akina stood up and bowed to Kondo Masahiko to apologize:

“Red bean puree Smith Marseille…”

The cameras at the scene opened the door and clicked together, and the flash lights illuminated the venue as if it were under the scorching sun.

Later, some questions about Nakamori Naina's wounds and recovery status were raised.

The female reporter from "Female Seven" asked worriedly:

"According to the attending doctor's reaction, the wound on the left wrist was 2 centimeters deep and 8 centimeters long. The muscles and nerves were severed, the bones of the hand were exposed, and a large amount of blood gushed out... It will affect the artist's future activities."

Kondo Masahiko frowned and motioned to Nakamori Akina's agent Kosugi Riuzo.

Such miserable remarks may attract some sympathizers and distract from the dark and abstract density of this press conference.

Kosugi Riuzo understood the situation and took the initiative to answer for Nakamori Akina:
  "Ah hahaha, don't worry, you don't have to worry about this little injury at all."

"When we were in the hospital, Akina's super recovery ability surprised the doctor."

…………

At the end of the entire press conference, "Weekly Bunshun" asked a key question.

"Excuse me, do you have any plans to get engaged or settle a settlement?"

Nakamori Akina looked at Kondo Masahiko with tears in her eyes, looking at him helplessly.

She fantasizes that for the sake of the relationship between the two of them for many years, the other party can use a tactful public relations rhetoric to give her the last bit of personality and dignity.

Kondo Masahiko smiled and said: "Not at all."

The press conference suddenly became excited, reporters were talking a lot, cameramen pressed the shutters frantically, flashes appeared one after another, and questions were fired at the parties involved in the press conference like a barrage of bullets.

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

Juntendo Hospital Affiliated to the School of Medicine, Juntendo University, No. 1-3, Hongo Sanmachi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo.

Masahiko Kondo during a press conference.

Based on the information provided by Kanda Keiko, Takakura Bunta and Goro secretly sneaked into Building 12 of the private hospitalization department.

In addition to opening a boutique cosmetics DIY creative store and traveling to eat delicious food, Goro was also the head of the judo department when he was a student and won the runner-up in the national competition.

This is the highest combat power Takakura Bunta knows.

Therefore, Wulang was asked to help in this operation.

…………

Goro used the cosmetic repair tool box he carried to unlock the door on the first floor.

The two were about to head to the critical care elevator on the third floor based on the information provided by Kanda Keiko.

The sound of medical staff moving hurriedly came from the duty room, pushing medical equipment into the elevator.

The two of them could only run along the fire evacuation route towards the third floor.

When Wulang was about to push the door open.

Takakura Bunta's sense of smell, which is the strongest creature in the sea, land and air, smelled something amiss, so he stopped and said:
  "Wait a moment."
