Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

The bustling night of Tokyo.

"The number of tourists is really outrageous, and there are so many foreigners."

Wearing a reporter's windbreaker, Mito Yohei squeezed into the crowded streets of Akihabara, smelling the perfume of several American girls next to him, looking at the various shops with flashing neon lights on both sides of the road, and looking at the anime exhibition hall at the end of the road. His eyes were full of emotion.

Tokyo Game Festival used to be held twice a year, but compared to the summer show for the global game market, the winter show for Japanese game manufacturers was more deserted, just like an ordinary anime show, and even gaming peripheral brands like Logitech and Razer would not come to rent booths. But this year is different.

There is no need to watch tomorrow's morning news. Just by looking at the tourists filling the streets and almost squeezing out of the sidewalks to get on the road, Mito Yohei knows that the number of tourists at this Tokyo Game Festival will definitely be an exaggerated number, and all this is thanks to Toru Fuyukawa.

"Mr. Dongchuan is really amazing, having just started his business for less than a year, he has already made such a big splash."

Mito Yohei sighed and walked towards the smoking area on the street.

Next to him, his chubby partner Takamiya Nozomi stared at the long white legs of several European and American beauties and said with a lewd smile: "Yohei, Mr. Fuyukawa is really amazing. He actually attracted so many European and American girls to Japan. Hey, that foreign lady over there doesn't seem to know the way. How about we go and help her?"

"Don't be horny when you have nothing to do, Fatty."

After dragging his lecherous partner to the smoking area in the alley, Mito Yohei lit up a cigarette himself, and then threw one to the fat man Takamiya Nozomi. He rubbed the corners of his eyes with the palm of his hand holding the cigarette, and then said, "We can talk about finding foreign girls later. Now you should contact that guy Yuuji and ask him where Ms. Juliet is."

"I just asked him, and he said he had already reached the Eidai Bridge, but there were too many people coming to Akihabara today, and the bridge was completely blocked. But don't worry, I have already shared the reservation with him."

"Idiot! Why didn't you tell me this earlier?!"

Mito Yohei almost choked to death on the cigarette, he hit Takamiya Nozomi hard on the head, then picked up the phone and prepared to call a friend. But just as he took out his phone, the crowd on the sidewalk suddenly became agitated.

"Please make way! Please make way!"

Shouts rang out in the street, and the crowd hurriedly parted to both sides. Soon, a man with dyed yellow hair appeared in front of Mito Yohei, panting, carrying a blonde and blue-eyed foreign girl on his back.

"Yohei, I'm not late! Baka~ There are too many people on the road today, the taxi can't move at all, and I'm carrying Juliet on my back. Hey, hey, hey, do you have any humanity at all? You forget your brothers when you see a beautiful woman?!"

The yellow-haired man held his knees and panted as he prepared to ask his friends for credit. But he was halfway through his words when he looked up and saw that Mito Yohei and Takamiya Nozomi had completely ignored him and were leaning over to ask about the blonde and blue-eyed Ms. Juliet's well-being. The fat man Takamiya Nozomi, in particular, had his lecherous eyes almost fixed on Ms. Juliet's fishnet stockings thighs.

Shivering and cold.

The yellow-haired man was so angry that he was trembling. After hearing what he said, Mito Yohei turned around, smiled and patted his shoulder, then handed him a cigarette in a very fawning manner, "Haha, this time it's all thanks to you, Yuuji, otherwise if it was any later, we wouldn't be able to interview Mr. Kawaguchi."

"That's pretty much it."

Giving the other person a blank look, Huangmao Xiongji lit up a cigarette.

Looking at Ms. Juliet who was talking to the fat man Gao Gongwang using a mobile phone translation app, he took a puff of cigarette with sweat dripping down his face, raised his eyebrows and said, "But if you ask me, you have been getting more and more successful in the past two years. Not only can you invite well-known American music critics, but you can also make appointments with executives of large companies like Shengguang Society."

"No, this is all thanks to that guy Sakuragi."

Mito Yohei scratched the back of his head and smiled, "Sakuragi has matured a lot now. Wasn't it the NBA off-season some time ago? I was chatting with him on a video call and happened to talk about the interview at the Tokyo Game Festival. After hearing about it, he introduced me to Ms. Juliet. As for Mr. Kawaguchi, he is actually my distant cousin."

"What! That big shot is actually your cousin?!"

"kindness"

"Then why don't you ask him to help you get into the Holy Light Society? I heard that the welfare benefits of the Holy Light Society are among the best in Japan."

Huangmao Yuji was so shocked that the cigarette butt in his mouth trembled.

Mito Yohei smiled and scratched his head. "It's not as good as you think. Although I heard from my mother that when his family just came to Tokyo from the countryside, our family helped them contact the rental agency, but we didn't have much contact later. I haven't seen him many times since I was a child. What's more, I heard from my mother that the reason why Mr. Fuyukawa took a fancy to him was because he was down-to-earth and honest. If I ask him to open the back door at this time, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him?"

"That's true. But big shots are big shots. Just one interview with you will be enough to maximize your performance this quarter."

"Well, performance doesn't matter. I plan to leave this media company after the new year."

"Because you always take on the dirty work?"

"more or less."

Mito Yohei took a deep puff of his cigarette and nodded. "Although you can earn a lot of money by taking on dirty work, this kind of work is quite boring. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. It's almost time. Let's get going."

After smoking and chatting with his friends for a while, Mito Yohei soon put out his cigarette and led everyone towards the convention center.

"It seems that Mr. Fuyukawa is really famous in Japan. There are so many people coming this time."

Walking on the bustling streets of Tokyo, the blonde Juliet looked around at the various anime stores and spoke curiously. Hearing her say this, Mito Yohei smiled and said, "It's not just Japan. I saw on the news that Mr. Fuyukawa's name is also very famous in Europe and the United States recently."

Juliet smiled and said, "That's true, but he seems to have offended someone. Although many mainstream media in the United States are reporting news about him, the content is mostly negative. He now wants to use the power of us self-media people to reverse public opinion, but it is very difficult."

Juliet is indeed a well-known online music critic in the United States, but the more professional something is, the smaller its audience is. It's like many people watch anime, but relatively few people watch the production explanations of anime and the analysis of the anime industry.

Professional music critics are a very niche field. Therefore, although she is quite famous in this field, she only has about a million fans on various platforms such as YouTube and Twitter.

Of course, a million fans can also be considered a big anchor, but it depends on how you compare. Compared with ordinary people, anchors with millions of fans are very impressive, but compared with the Berkeley academic school and university cliques and large interest groups like TGA, it is like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

In Juliet's opinion, although Dongchuan Che had made quite a stir this time and had recruited many European and American self-media people like her, under the impact of the mainstream media of those big companies, if Dongchuan Che really wanted to reverse public opinion, he had to come up with a "shocking" work.

Yes, shocking.

Because of the public opinion war during this period, coupled with Dongchuan Che's own influence, most viewers and listeners have been divided into two camps: "anti-Dong" and "pro-Dong".

For the "anti-winter faction", they are looking at Izumi Himawari's performance with a critical eye. Therefore, their requirements are much higher than usual, and they will find fault if they are not comfortable.

The same is true for the "Winter Protection Faction". Because they support Fuyukawa Tetsu because they think that Fuyukawa Tetsu is capable and they are waiting for Fuyukawa Tetsu to turn the tables, so they also have very high expectations for Izumi Himawari's performance this time.

The higher the expectations, the higher the demands will naturally be.

However, this is pressure and also an opportunity.

The audiences from all over the world have brought a huge amount of pressure, but it also means that tonight's Tokyo Game Festival will be a huge stage that will attract worldwide attention, at least from music fans, anime fans and game fans all over the world!

Mito Yohei, who majored in journalism, naturally knew this truth.

He let a couple with French accents pass by and said with a smile, "Miss Juliet, do you think Mr. Dongchuan has a chance to turn the tables this time?"

"Oh, I don't know."

Juliet smiled, "But I've heard Ms. Izumi's Japanese songs. In my opinion, her singing skills are amazing, and her pitch and pronunciation are as precise as a gorgeous musical instrument. She should be the best of all the new generation, or even, well, anyway, from my personal point of view, except for those meritorious national treasure singers from various countries, basically no one can surpass her in singing skills, whether in Asia or Europe and the United States.

And she not only has a strong singing skill acquired through practice, but also has a natural good voice. Really, I have come into close contact with many European and American singers. When Musk did the halftime show at the Super Bowl last year, I was a member of his team.

But it is rare to see a voice like Ms. Izumi's, whose bass is steady but not muffled, whose mid-range can freely move between the two extremes of delicate and soft and powerful and strong, whose treble is wide, and whose voice is not lacking in power, flexibility and transparency. Well, she gives me a feeling a bit like Jennifer. "

Juliet babbled on and on.

Mito Yohei continued, "Jennifer? Oh, I know. She's the American singer who won many Grammy Awards, right? My mother listened to her songs when I was a child. But at that time, my mother always complained that her songs were too difficult to sing and she couldn't order them at karaoke bars."

"Haha, of course. Jennifer's vocal range is extremely wide, so many of her songs also have a huge range. Not to mention the switching between high and low notes, ordinary people can't sing the high notes even if they pinch their throats. This Miss Izumi gave me some of the feelings I had when I listened to Jennifer's singing, but..."

Walking to the intersection, looking at the big stage in front of the game exhibition hall across the street, Juliet smiled and said, "But excellent vocal talent also requires good enough songs to bring it out. This time the key is to see whether the song written by Mr. Dongchuan is good enough."

No matter how good your voice is or how talented you are in music, you still need excellent songs to bring it to life. After all, except in bed, few people like to hear others just moaning.

Mito Yohei also agreed with this truth. After listening to Juliet's analysis, he felt more confident.

Compared to Juliet, a music critic who was previously only active in Europe and the United States and basically paid little attention to the Asian music scene, he is not only Japanese himself and pays more attention to Japanese songs, but also because of his work, he pays more attention to Fuyukawa Che.

And Dongchuan Che

From the time he started shining at NTsoft the year before last until now, whether it is music, animation, light novels or his traditional career, games, Toru Fuyukawa has never let down his guard!

"If it's Mr. Fuyukawa, then there should be no problem."

Because he was a relative of Kawaguchi, and he really admired Fuyukawa Tetsu's ability, Mito Yohei was secretly encouraging himself. Soon, as the traffic light turned from red to green, he followed the crowd with Miss Juliet and his two good brothers and came to this side of the game exhibition hall.

There were crowds of people.

It was already very crowded on the other side of the road, and it was even more crowded on this side.

There's nothing you can do about it. Strictly speaking, Akihabara is just a commercial street, and because it focuses on two-dimensional culture, the sidewalks are relatively narrow, and there's still a gap between it and Shibuya and Ginza.
