Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 567 The First Bullet: Street Cupid

My name is Nana Saito, and I am a first-year student at the Faculty of Business Administration, Meiji University.

19 years old this year.

On this day, as always, I walked on the bustling and crowded Takeshita Street.

Looking at the shops with people coming and going, as well as the gourmet restaurants queuing up outside the door, I thought that my weekend would be as usual, so dull. . .

Suddenly, an unexpected person appeared in front of me!

On this day, I met the person who changed my life!

It was late autumn, and the specific time was Sunday, November 11th. . .

. . . . . .

On the third day after the planning meeting, which is the 11th of November.

"Suddenly THE SUN" ushered in the recording day again.

However, unlike usual, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had been away from the program for more than half a year, reappeared at the recording site of the program.

Before the recording started, Kiyoshi Sakamoto exchanged pleasantries with the familiar and unfamiliar members of the program group, "Long time no see, Genki?"

"Long time no see! Sakamoto-san!"

"Sakamoto-san! Still so handsome!"

. . .

Although I have been away from the show for a long time, the friendship accumulated before has dissipated a lot with time.

However, when they saw Kiyoshi Sakamoto's familiar warm smile, the staff of the program knew that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was still the kind and unassuming Kiyoshi Sakamoto back then, and he hadn't changed at all!
After a simple exchange of greetings, Masaki Ogawa and Masaki Chiba stood in front of the camera together with the group Banana Man who was gradually accepted by the audience.

Recording officially begins!
"Hi everyone, this is..."

"THE SUN SUDDENLY!!!"

Ogawa Makoto, who took over the show's main MC from Kiyoshi Sakamoto, is already familiar with the slogan that he shouts once a week.

And Chiba Masaki and Banana Man also had a very tacit understanding. After Ogawa Zhen, they shouted the slogan of the show in unison.

Looking at this scene, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was waiting to appear on the sidelines, was also filled with emotion.

With the passage of time, the content of "THE SUN" has become more and more substantial, and the format of the program has become more and more like those outdoor reality shows that Sakamoto remembers in the future.

You know, when the show first started, there was no slogan or anything like that. . .

While Kiyoshi Sakamoto's thoughts drifted away, Makoto Ogawa continued to host the opening of the show.

"There is good news, I want to tell the audience friends in front of the TV!"

"Huh? What is it?" Himura Yuki, who was in charge of pretending to be stupid, also took a step forward and asked aloud.

As one of the MC lineup of the show, both Banana Man already knew what this good news was. . .

It's just that, in "THE SUN That Came Suddenly", Yuki Himura, the fat man's character, is a character who pretends to be stupid and is complained about.

Therefore, under such circumstances, he must be the first to speak out.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Shi Le Tong, who was standing beside him, immediately slapped his fat arm, causing him to cry out in pain.

"You blocked Xiao Chuan's camera!"

This funny scene also made Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was about to appear on the stage, laugh out loud with a "puchi".

"Sure enough, the funny ability of these two people is still the same as before..."

After a little squabbling, Xiao Chuan really hosted and continued to proceed in an orderly manner.

"Ahem, the good news is that today we welcome a long-lost guest!"

"Without further delay, let us, with warm applause, welcome our guests to enter the venue!"

Although it was a warm applause, since the opening was held in an outdoor open space, the only people applauding were Ogawa Masaki, Chiba Masaki, and Banana Man. . .

Under such sparse applause, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, wearing a sweater and casually dressed, walked into the frame from outside the camera.

"Hi everyone! Long time no see! I'm your favorite Kiyoshi Sakamoto!" A certain narcissistic guy waved his hand at the camera while pushing away Masaki Chiba and stood in the middle of the four of them.

"I am back again!"

Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who completely misunderstood himself as a guest, including Banana Man, Masaki Ogawa and Masaki Chiba put on a disgusted expression of "I've never seen such a brazen person!"

However, this scene made the show chief PD smile.

He was still afraid that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has become a senior executive of Sony, would not be as open-minded as before in variety shows.

However, Seiichi Sakamoto's performance on the stage directly put his worries aside for nine days.

. . .

After recording the opening of the show, it was finally time to announce the new project.

"Today, the project with our Sakamoto-kun is a brand new project!" Ogawa Makoto winked at the camera, while mysteriously prolonging the end, "And..."

"This new project was personally planned by Sakamoto-kun!"

Xiao Chuan really broke such a big news inadvertently!

If you do a questionnaire survey on the street, the topic is "Impressions of Sakamoto Kiyoshi", ask a hundred people, and you will get different answers.

However, apart from "handsome" and "talented" that never change, there is another word that is mentioned the most.

That is, "genius"!
Sakamoto Kiyoshi's reputation for not doing business properly is well known throughout Japan.

At a young age, he went to college, sang, acted, wrote novels, and invested in companies. . .

It can be said that the most idle man in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, after the broadcast of this episode, the public's reaction to the news that he suddenly became the planner of the variety show was not too big.

After all, he's always been like that, doing all kinds of different things, and all of them doing them very well.

The public is not surprised by this. . .

The camera returns to the recording scene again.

"The name of this project is called..."

"Street Cupid!"

Under the untidy unison of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, this street matchmaking program from Taiwan appeared for the first time in the country of Japan!

"Concerning the specific content of this project, keep it a secret first!" Putting up his index finger and putting it on his mouth, Ogawa really made a "silence" gesture towards the camera.

"Eh?!!"

This made them very "dissatisfied" with the two banana people who had never read the planning script.

However, Ogawa really didn't pay attention to the small emotions of the two, but continued to host calmly.

"Don't talk so much, let's go to the location of the project first, let's go!"

"Huh? Where are you going?"

"Harajuku!"
