One unified entertainment sodu

  On the way back, Zhou Xiao, who didn't lack money at all, directly took Ogura Yuuko into a taxi. The young boy and girl sat in the back, quietly listening to the radio announcer's excited tone as he talked about the shocking news that stunned Japan.

  "Are you also coming back from a concert?" the driver asked.

  "Yes." Zhou Xiao replied.

  "Wow... I really didn't expect it, did you get a shock when it was announced?"

  "He looks calm, but I was really startled," said Ogura Yuko.

  "When did you get the news on the radio?" Zhou Xiao asked.

  "The special program has been broadcast for more than two hours, and I heard that NHK is also live broadcasting. This matter is too big and too sudden, so it's normal to have such a big scene. The last time the entertainment industry had such a big breaking news was probably the case of Kiyoshi Nakajima..." said the driver.

  The driver was talking about the 89-year-old, that year Akina Nakamori and Koji Matsumoto were not on the list of red and white song wills, but just on December 31st when the red and white song will be held, Akina Nakamori suddenly announced a press conference. When a large number of reporters rushed to the scene, they found that a golden screen was set up at the press conference site. This thing is not casually set up. In the history of Japan's entertainment industry, only those big happy events, such as weddings and childbirths, have special meetings with gold screens on site!

  However, many people were surprised to see Nakamori Akina appear in front of the camera with a disappointed and helpless expression on her face. She didn't mention anything about getting married, only saying that apart from continuing her career, she also wanted to apologize to society. Another person who appeared alongside Nakamori was Kondo Masahiko, who hesitated when questioned by reporters and did not give a direct answer, even denying questions about marriage or engagement.

  It's just such an ordinary thing, logically speaking, Nakamori Akina shouldn't have been able to hold a press conference, so it can almost be confirmed that there must be some hidden circumstances behind this. The most likely situation is that the higher-ups at Johnny's got wind of it before the press conference, and Auntie or Grandma (Auntie was only in her 20s at the time, so although some people say it was Auntie, I think it's more likely to be Takako's mother) brought someone along, gave Nakamori two options: get married and cancel the contract, or break up. Faced with his career and his lover, Nakamori chose the former.

  "Today Kondō Shinichi was also watching from the media seats, I don't know what he's thinking in his heart," said Zhou Xiao.

  "Hmph. Don't compare him to Kimura, those two... are not on the same level." Even an ordinary driver uncle can clearly see the truth of the matter.

  Who is Kondo Masahiko? In the 80s, two of the most famous idols, Matsuda Seiko and Nakamori Akina, were both rumored to have had relationships with him, while Maki Yanagida was his "mistress" during his relationship with Nakamori. A guy like this usually evokes only two emotions in people: either they think he's a terrible person or they feel envious, jealous and resentful.

  And what about Kimura? He is devoted and daring, and he actually did such a big thing as soon as he said it. The gap between two people cannot be measured in miles.

  "Yes... Mr. Kimura... is so handsome..." Yoko Ogura said with a hint of envy, tightly grasping Xiaowei Zhou's hand.

  "Shu Xiao... will he become like Kimura-san? ...Even if it's just a tenth of Kimura-san, that would be amazing already... If there's someone as great as Kimura-san, then... I'll grant him any request..." Ogawa Yūko thought to herself, looking at the handsome face of the boy beside her and thinking about his many talents.

  The big event of Kimura's marriage has just begun, and after a night, the whole thing has fermented thoroughly.

  Countless newspapers scrapped their previously prepared layouts and printed the news of Kimura's marriage on the front page. Well-informed reporters dug up through the night and found out that Kudō was pregnant, and the two were getting married because of this. The morning TV programs in Japan also reported this with huge coverage and length, even Fuji Television, which is known as the home of Johnny & Associates, did so, showing how big the social impact of this event was.

  Zhou Xiao lay on the bed, watching various hosts' analysis on TV, comfortably thinking about what's next.

  Last night, Zhou Xiao sent Yuzuki Wakamiya back to her room after returning home with the girl. When Yuzuki opened the door, he actually really wanted to go in, but in the end, he didn't say anything and let the girl enter the house and close the door. He returned to his own room feeling a bit down. After entering his room, he received a text message from Yuzuki: "Goodnight, I had a great time today, don't forget you owe me a midnight snack."

  It's not owing me a meal but owing me a midnight snack, the subtle time made Zhou Xiao regain his spirit.

  SMAP's situation will take a few more days to settle down, and during these few days, all Johnny's artists except them have been avoiding SMAP. Since SMAP has always been led by Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, they don't really have any brotherly relationships with other groups, which makes their isolation even harsher. These past few days, almost every Johnny's artist who appeared in public was very cautious with their words when facing people's questions: "Ah... I think Kimura-san is amazing for saying that in that situation... but..." "We should still congratulate them on their marriage, Kimura-san is a senior I really respect..."

  No matter what these people think in their hearts, the words that come out of their mouths are relatively mild, but even so, it's still very clear that these words are full of nonsense and clichés. In the end, no one dares to say a word of support for him or stand on his side.

  In this case, Zhou Xiao finally got in touch with SMAP through Fan Yisan, but the person he contacted was not Kimura Takuya, but Nakai Masahiro. At that time, it was almost impossible to get in touch with Kimura.

  In a private room of a restaurant, Zhou Xiao met Nakai. In fact, in most cases, even if he was a member of the national combination SMAP, Nakai would rarely dress up when going out. Many times, as long as he could leave quickly and not stay in one place for too long, it was basically okay even if someone recognized him, and no one would really stop him for a long time.

  But today, Nakai obviously didn't dare to come out so directly. He wrapped a line hat on his head and put on big sunglasses before finally sneaking out and making it to the place where he had agreed with Zhou Xiao.

  As soon as he entered the room, he finally took off his hat with a sigh of emotion: "Wow... it's really suffocating..."

  "Master Nakai, you're here." Zhou Xiao stood up and said.

  "Don't be polite." Zhong Ju pulled Zhou Xiao back down to sit again.

  "What happened yesterday was no small matter." Zhou Xiao said, looking at Nakai.

  "That's right, didn't we give you a ticket? So you were there yesterday too?" Nakai said.

  "Ah, I saw it from the media seat, Kimura-san is really handsome." said Zhou Xiao.

  "He's handsome, but he's also caused us a lot of trouble. You don't know, after the concert ended yesterday, Takako-san and Keiko-chan were almost driven crazy backstage!" Nakai said, his complaints about Kimura just casual talk.

  "Sorry to bother you when you're so busy," said Zhou Xiao.

  "No, no, what's the hurry? We four are quite idle. Kimura was called to the company early today, but we four have nothing to do. The younger colleagues in the company... also avoid us a lot. But you, young and reckless, dare to find me at this time. If the company finds out, aren't you afraid they'll boycott you?" said Nakai.

  "I'm not even from your company, let alone an idol, what's there to be afraid of being banned?" Zhou Xiao smiled indifferently, but in fact, SME is almost the most petty company in the industry. They can't even let their idols go on music shows with other idols, which directly led to that idol's decline. Later, when Sato Kento surpassed all the Johnny's idols and got the first place in advertising revenue that year, the higher-ups at Johnny's were furious and threatened to ban Sato Kento, it's simply ridiculous.

  "What brings you here?" Nakau asked.

  "Oh, I wouldn't have remembered if you hadn't said anything. Here, this is a new song I wrote for you guys!" Zhou Xiao took out a CD player and said to Nakai Masahiro.
