Chapter 30

Under the strong financial offensive,

In Tokyo's record stores, the song "sakura sakura aitaiyo~" has been playing every day recently.

Even students going to and from school would hum a few lines from time to time.

The song entered the top ten of the Oricon chart in its second week and could even try for the top three.

Thanks to the song's popularity, Fukuhara Yoshie was invited to "THE BEST TEN," which was quite a big deal for a newcomer.

Some programs also wanted to invite Nagayama Naoki to appear, but he declined all of them.

Whether as a songwriter, composer, or record producer, it was quite rare for him to appear on screen. The old-school people believed that the singer should be the main focus of the performance.

For Nagayama Naoki, it was simply a hassle. Wasn't it better to make a fortune quietly behind the scenes?

The actor's share had already come in, with a simple fee of 15 million yen this time, followed by royalties from the song and record sales.

Although the producer's share needed to be split with the agency, the final earnings from this wave would definitely exceed 100 million yen.

His once empty wallet was suddenly bulging again.

Suppressing the urge to buy a house, Nagayama Naoki decided to let Fujita Keiko take a break for at least half a month.

The next GG was in April, so he had at least half a month to rest.

After a period of tension, Nagayama Naoki returned to his decadent daily life.

This time, it was more like a college student's life, with two classes per week at Keiko-sensei's, one in music theory and one in instrument.

The instrument, of course, was the piano. Although he didn't have one at home yet, he definitely needed to buy one. Otherwise, wouldn't his future seaside villa look quite empty?

Dressed and wearing a pair of light-colored glasses, he wrapped a scarf around his neck and went out.

With the broadcast of GG, more and more people had seen Nagayama Naoki. On the street, he was recognized by young girls multiple times, who would then approach him, which made him quite uncomfortable.

Now, he had to cover up a bit when going out. If it weren't for the fact that wearing a mask would make people think he was sick, he would have worn one.

...

...

A few days later, Nagayama Naoki found Nakai Enji again.

"What? Another loan? Did you do something illegal, Naoki-san?"

"Of course not, I'll sue you for defamation. This is my legitimate income," Nagayama Naoki almost choked.

The two met at an izakaya. When Nakai Enji came in, Nagayama Naoki was surprised: "Enji-san, did you go to Africa? Why are you so dark and thin?"

"Thanks to you, I'm running around outside every day, of course I'm thin..." Although it sounded like a complaint, Nakai Enji's face was full of smiles.

After introducing Nagayama Naoki's loan application to his senior at the bank, Itou Shin, Nakai Enji clearly started to get involved in the business. Lending was just one part of it, and running around to meet clients was the beginning of building connections.

While drinking, they chatted: "What do you need this time, Naoki-san? Another loan?"

"Not really, I just created another song recently. The share should be good, so I want to use the contract as collateral to take out a loan to buy a house."

"Huh? Didn't you already buy a house?"

"For investment."

"Didn't you also buy a piece of land?"

"Who wouldn't want more houses?"

"Huh? You have to pay taxes and repay the loan, you know~"

"Of course I know, that's why I'm here. As such a good friend, shouldn't you give me the best deal?"

After understanding Nagayama Naoki's thoughts, Nakai Enji had nothing else to say. After all, buying a house was a very correct thing to do after earning money.

"So, how much do you want to borrow this time?"

"Still 100 million yen!"

"Huh??? Are you crazy? Do you think every song's royalties are as profitable as the previous 'Cherry Blossom'?"

"Hey, haven't you heard the recent 'Sakura~ Anata ni deaete yokatta~' (Sakura Sakura, I'm glad to meet you)?" Nagayama Naoki looked at him as if he had no knowledge.

"It's already in the top ten of the Oricon chart. Although it's not a top idol's record, I'm the producer, so the share is more."

"Did you create that song too?" Nakai Enji wasn't very interested in the entertainment industry, but he had heard the new song.

"Yep~"

Nakai Enji was amazed: "I didn't expect you to be such a creative genius~"

"Hahaha, do you want me to sign something for you? It might be worth a lot in the future~"

"No way, don't get too cocky, you."

There weren't many evergreen stars in the entertainment industry, but in the lifetime employment system, a banker became more valuable with age, so Nakai Enji wasn't very jealous.

After a few jokes, Nagayama Naoki asked: "How about it? Can you handle the application now?"

"I can, but I've never tried such a large amount."

"Try applying quickly. Apply under the name of a personal studio, using the copyright and record shares as collateral. An operating loan should still be possible."

"Have you already registered a personal studio?"

"Yep, it's called Halo."

"In that case, I can try to apply to the department head." After all, a 100 million yen loan was a big deal for the branch, and it would be good for Nakai Enji's career.

"Thanks a lot!"

After that, the two drank some more.

"How's Suzumi-san doing?"

"She's graduating next year. We plan to get married after graduation!"

"Spit~" Nagayama Naoki spat out his drink, "Marriage? So sudden?"

"What's so strange about that? I'm 23, and Suzumi is 22."

Currently, in Japan, there was a phenomenon of female college students getting married right after graduation, but Nagayama Naoki was only 19, so this was too early for him...

"A bit sudden... Enji-san suddenly talking about marriage makes you seem like an old man!"

"Hey, I'm older than you, okay!"

...

...

After that, Nagayama Naoki contacted Fujita Keiko again.

"What? Another house?"

Fujita Keiko felt like she had been serving Nagayama Naoki for the past half year, but it was okay. Two consecutive deals had earned her a good commission.

But sometimes, her colleagues would gossip behind her back, wondering if she had a special relationship with a certain handsome young man, or if it was a pillow business.

"Didn't you just buy a house a month ago?"

"Yep, I had a stroke of luck and made some more money, so I want to buy another one."

"Does money just fall from the sky for you, Naoki-san?" Fujita Keiko couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha, Keiko-san, you're so funny~"

"So, what kind of house do you want this time?"

"The same as the last two times."

"Two times?"

"Yep, I want to buy a residential property and a commercial one this time."

"Ah?!!!"
