Chapter 62

————————Today's First Update————————

Kagawa Haya and a few girls walked to the door of Akimoto Yasushi's office, but only Kagawa Haya entered.

After a brief greeting, the two got straight to the point.

"Mr. Akimoto, I'm here to request a few days off for these members," Kagawa Haya said straightforwardly, stating the purpose of his visit.

As expected, Akimoto Yasushi frowned slightly after hearing this...

"Mr. Kagawa, how many days off are you requesting?"

"Mariko might need a bit more... about twenty days... Hoshino and Tomochin will need about ten days..."

When Akimoto Yasushi heard Kagawa Haya call Tomochin by her nickname, he frowned slightly. Clearly, he did not want the members' managers to be too close to the members.

Kagawa Haya noticed Akimoto Yasushi's expression and smiled coldly in his heart. Some things cannot be controlled by strict rules; it's more about human hearts and feelings.

"I can agree to Mr. Kagawa's request... but Mr. Kagawa must also agree to my conditions?"

A faint, barely noticeable cold smile appeared on Kagawa Haya's face. "Go on, Mr. Akimoto..."

"I hope you don't get too close to the AKB48 members..."

Kagawa Haya scoffed. "Mr. Akimoto, this seems a bit too much... Although I've only been in the entertainment industry for a short time, I might see some things more clearly than you... Mr. Akimoto, you should focus more on the other AKB48 members... Someone might be violating the 'no dating' rule..."

Akimoto Yasushi's face changed dramatically upon hearing this, and he became suspicious. Looking at Kagawa Haya's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying. Could it be that a member really violated the rule?

"I understand, Mr. Kagawa. We will handle the internal matters of AKB48 ourselves... Since Hoshino and the others are participating in a drama, I have no objections... I hope Mr. Kagawa can take good care of them!"

Kagawa Haya gave Akimoto Yasushi a serious look. The slightly plump middle-aged man's expression was sincere, with no hint of pretense.

Kagawa Haya nodded lightly and stood up. Suddenly, he added one more thing...

"I didn't expect you to transfer those three members to Watanabe Agency... But... some members' fates might change because of this... I'll leave it at that, I shouldn't say more..."

Akimoto Yasushi fell silent, pondering the meaning of Kagawa Haya's words. These words definitely had a hidden meaning, but he couldn't guess what it was... Oshima? Kawanishi... or Nakaniwa?!

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

On April 24th, finally... the popular actress Maki Horikita, who had been receiving a lot of attention recently, registered her Facebook account and uploaded a very rare childhood photo of herself with long hair. This immediately caused a frenzy on the internet...

Within a short hour, Horikita's fans rapidly surpassed 100,000. Even fans who hadn't registered on Facebook before started signing up, just to get closer to their idol.

Three hours later, Horikita's fans surpassed 150,000. Considering that now, Nao Asakura has only 250,000 followers on Facebook, Horikita managed to gain 150,000 fans in just four hours. This is a truly astonishing achievement!

Tomomi Itano and the others watched in amazement as Horikita's fans grew explosively, feeling incredibly envious.

"Oh no... Shaq, how could you miss that shot?!" Kagawa Haya, leaning over the computer, looked frustrated.

"Great shot, Dwyane! That was beautiful!" Kagawa Haya clapped as he watched.

Since his rebirth, he has developed an extraordinary love for the NBA. The NBA playoffs have already started, and Kagawa Haya naturally supports the Miami Heat, led by Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade. On one hand, it's because of the agreement he made with O'Neal, and on the other, he bet tens of thousands of dollars on the Heat winning the championship. The Heat's current situation looks very good; they have already advanced to the second round. However, the opponents they will face next are even stronger.

Kagawa Haya secretly glanced at the girls' reactions and noticed that Tomomi Itano and Nao Asakura were pointing and whispering about him.

"Calling them Shaq and Dwyane like you're close friends..." Nao Asakura rolled her eyes at Kagawa Haya.

"Exactly..."

"Horikita-san, your fans are really growing fast... That's great," Kagawa Haya intentionally interrupted the two girls' conversation.

Horikita Maki smiled slightly. "It's all thanks to Mr. Kagawa..."

"Right, you did contribute, but I definitely did the most," Kagawa Haya said boldly.

Horikita Maki's smile froze slightly. You're really not modest...

Hoshino Manami and Mariko Shinoda lowered their heads, trying hard not to laugh.

Tomomi Itano and Nao Asakura were immediately displeased, making disapproving sounds.

"What's with that? So arrogant..."

"Exactly, not at all humble..."

Kagawa Haya put on his headphones, pretending not to hear.

Seeing that Kagawa Haya ignored them, the two girls looked dejected.

"Listen, if you don't practice your lines well today, and anyone messes up during the shoot, I'll show you why I'm so red," Kagawa Haya took off his headphones and gave the girls a chilling look.

"Also, Horikita-san, starting tomorrow, take some time to teach these girls some basic acting techniques. Don't embarrass yourselves."

"Ah..." Horikita Maki was a bit taken aback.
