As she saw Aya Kanna, who had been watching from a distance, sigh softly when Aya Kanna bowed her head...

"Girl, your days in AKB48 might not have been easy... Perhaps the entire AKB48 is still exploring and struggling."

"Saeko, why did you ask such a question?" After Tomohiro Haga left, Saeko Miyazawa pulled Aya Kanna aside and asked softly, her tone tinged with reproach.

"It's nothing... Didn't he say to ask any questions? I just asked..." Aya Kanna smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.

"But..." Saeko Miyazawa wanted to say more, but she was gently held back by Eri Hori.

"Everyone, let's get some rest..." As the temporary leader of Team K, Saki Akimoto called the members to return to their quarters. She had been chosen by the members as the temporary leader.

Kawakami Hane received a strange email. The email had no sender, but the content was very intriguing to Kawakami Hane. It contained a ranking of the power and influence of talent agencies in Japan.

"Cherry Blossom September Magazine... What kind of magazine is this?" Kawakami muttered.

He had no recollection of this magazine.

"Is this magazine famous?" Kawakami Hane murmured.

Kawakami Hane didn't dwell on the magazine's fame. After flipping through it, he was immediately captivated by the content.

The magazine mainly introduced the rankings and spheres of influence of major entertainment agencies in Japan.

What surprised Kawakami Hane was that the Watanabe Agency, which he had always feared, was actually ranked quite low on the list.

Even more surprising was that Johnny's was only ranked third!

In Kawakami Hane's understanding, Johnny's should be the most powerful and influential agency in Japan. However, this report completely颠覆ed his perception.

The report introduced a term: "One Superpower, Multiple Strong." Specifically, the "multiple" referred to only five agencies, while the "one" referred to BURNING PRODUCTION!

If you only looked at the tax and revenue rankings of talent agencies, BURNING seemed far less lucrative than Johnny's. However, BURNING itself was not large, at most a medium-sized agency. The reason BURNING was considered the top dog in the entertainment industry was that nearly half of the small agencies in Japan were affiliated with or had business ties with BURNING. In other words, more than half of Japan's entertainers were, to some extent, managed by BURNING. These agencies, though not named under BURNING, such as Shun Oguri's Tristone Entertainment Inc. and Kengo Hori and Kano Kimura's TOP-COURT, were collectively known as the "BURNING System." BURNING was absolutely authoritative in the Japanese media, with a very strong and sometimes ruthless style. Additionally, BURNING had significant influence in the Japanese underworld, politics, and finance. Under its influence, no one in the television and media industry dared to say no to BURNING. Beyond the entertainment industry, BURNING also ventured into publishing (WANI BOOKS), bookstore management (Fukuya Bookstore), restaurant management, real estate leasing, and even waste recycling. It was the most diversified among all Japanese talent agencies.

BURNING covered various fields, from actors, singers, and hosts to idol models, models, and even entertainment journalists and sports stars. The most well-known include Kinoko Kōizumi, Masami Ōkubo, Izumi Tashiro, Yuki Uchida, Hitomi Shimatani, and Teppei Koike.

After reading the report, Kawakami Hane sighed softly. He realized he had been too naive about this world. The Watanabe Agency, which he had thought was powerful, was not even considered a medium-sized agency.

If Johnny's was considered an S-level agency, then BURNING PRODUCTION was beyond S-level, while the Watanabe Agency was at most a B-level agency. As for the agency he was currently in and the SWEETPOE agency where Maki Horikita was, they were barely C-level when combined.

"No wonder those two were so enthusiastic... I'm so frustrated... I joined such a small boat without knowing anything..." Kawakami sighed and shook his head with a bitter smile.

"It looks like I have a long way to go... But, I like this feeling!" Kawakami murmured.

"The first step... Let others know my existence!" Kawakami gently tapped the table, his elegant face filled with confidence.

………………..

The next morning, Kawakami Hane was waiting in the office for the arrival of the girls.

At exactly nine o'clock, Mariko Shinoda, Man Star, and Tomomi Itano arrived together.

"Good morning, three of you!" Kawakami Hane greeted the girls with a smile.

Man Star and Tomomi Itano, who were visiting the office for the first time, looked around curiously.

"Uncle... This is too luxurious..." Tomomi Itano's eyes were almost sparkling.

"Choose your own desks..."

Mariko Shinoda had already chosen her desk, which was directly opposite Kawakami Hane.

Man Star and Tomomi Itano eventually chose two desks near the theater.

After another half hour, Maki Horikita and Nana Kitade also arrived.

"I'm glad to see you all here... From now on, you will work here..." Kawakami Hane crossed his arms and smiled, scanning the girls.

Man Star, Tomomi Itano, and Mariko Shinoda had no objections. Maki Horikita and Nana Kitade were slightly hesitant, as their homes were quite far from here.

"Uncle..." Nana Kitade looked at Kawakami Hane shyly.

Kawakami Hane's face darkened. What the hell... I'm only 4 years older than you... and you call me uncle?

"What's the problem?"
