Chapter 16: 016, Akina: Who Knew You Were Such a Two-Faced Scumbag! It was already after the New Year. Unexpectedly, it began to snow in Tokyo again, and once it started, it didn't seem like it would stop. The snow fell steadily, sometimes urgently and sometimes gently. Fine snowflakes drifted onto the city streets, slowly weaving a silver carpet. The hibernating shrubs stretched out their branches, donning white veils of frost. It felt as if all the clamor of the city had been hidden behind a white…-

Chapter 15: 015, I’ve Been Waiting Forever, and Finally Met Matsuda Seiko-san! The sudden bad news sent a jolt of shock through Nagayama Naoki. His original "get rich quick" plan had been perfectly laid out: — Live a decadent life through January with the 500,000 yen currently in hand. — Once the royalties arrived in February, take the royalty contract and sales data to the bank as collateral for a loan. — Purchase 2–3 apartments in central Tokyo to rent out, using the royalties to…

Chapter 14: 014, Big Trouble! The “Get-Rich Scheme” Cash Flow Has Collapsed! In the following days, Naoki Nagayama lived a rather lazy life. His only exercise was going out for casual walks and visiting a shrine to pray. As for his grandfather’s side of the family, his father only made a phone call as a form of courtesy visit. Ever since splitting off from the yakuza family branch, it had basically been the same for the past twenty years. However, after the izakaya reopened, only his mother and…

Chapter 13: 013, Showa 56, nothing really changes anyway When he opened his eyes, it was the same ceiling—both unfamiliar and familiar. This room was even smaller than the one at the Makino household, barely enough for a bed and a desk, though belongings could be stored in boxes inside the closet. His old clothes no longer fit. He had to take out casual autumn-winter wear from his suitcase: fleece-lined thermal clothing, loose knitted cardigan, and other comfortable pieces. Washing up had to…

Chapter 12: 012, Okaasan, Onii-chan Turned into a Handsome Guy! How to spend a New Year in the Showa era? In Nagayama Naoki’s impression, it was nothing more than eating, drinking, playing, and doing homework. After all, this was his first New Year since formally entering society. But life still had to go on: buying a bed, furniture, appliances, daily necessities, moving into a new home—everything had to be done step by step. There was one week left until New Year, and gifts had to be…

Chapter 11 011, When You’re Handsome, Life Becomes Easy At 2 p.m., after everything had settled down, Nagayama Naoki dragged Nakai Genta, who was originally supposed to be resting, to the apartment near Waseda. After walking about 20 minutes from Waseda Station, a six-story apartment building came into view. It was not far from the famous Waseda University, essentially Showa-era “school district housing.” A modern Western-style renovated apartment, even equipped with an elevator. Nakai Genta…

Chapter 10 010, My First House, Bought in the Showa Era The audition for the advertisement was different from films and TV dramas; it did not require much acting skill. Yoshimura Daitomo drove Nagayama Naoki directly to a photography studio where a group of people were shooting a gravure magazine. A few young girls were striking suggestive poses. Yoshimura Daitomo walked up and asked, “Hello, is Producer Ito here?” A crew member replied, “Daitomo-kun, you’re here. Producer Ito is in the…

Chapter 6 — 006: Encounter with a Little Chubby “Greens” One defining feature of the Shōwa era was cash-based transactions. After signing the contract, Sanwa Daisei returned from the finance office with ten million yen in cash, placed inside a kraft envelope, and handed it directly to Nagayama Naoki. After a full meal at an upscale restaurant, Naoki returned to the small room at the Makino residence, only then gradually calming his mind. The money had come too easily. As someone who had…

Chapter 5 — 005: How Many Steps Does It Take to Release a Record? Nakai Genta was extremely efficient. That very night, he announced that he would head to a cabaret club to look for suitable talent. However, in Nagayama Naoki’s view, it would most likely just turn into another night of drunken indulgence. Unexpectedly, while Naoki was still eating breakfast the next morning, Nakai Genta arrived at his door with a young woman of modest height. “Naoki-san, this is Hoshino Suzumi, a good…

Chapter 9: 009, “Photoshoot is fine, but pay more!” “Damn it, I accidentally used the old talent scout pitch…” Yoshimura Daitomo realized too late that he had just said something he used in the past when recruiting gravure models. He hurriedly corrected himself. “Ah—no, not a photoshoot, an advertisement, an advertisement!” Nagayama Naoki tensed slightly. This middle-aged man who had been staring at him in a somewhat suspicious way didn’t look very reliable. “An…
