Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1264, page 1273: Men outside are scumbags; if you encounter one, turn around immediately.

Chapters 1264 and 1273: Men outside are scumbags; if you encounter one, turn away immediately!

Since gaining a playmate, Xia Hua has been much happier than before.

From the moment he woke up in the morning, he wanted to play with Wild Grass Brother and would give him snacks and cookies, which made Naoki Nagayama a little jealous because he hadn’t been able to eat them many times!

Sitting in his chair, watching the little guy happily follow behind the weeds after his meal, collecting seashells and conches on the beach, Naoki Nagayama sighed repeatedly.

How can she be so fond of the opposite sex at such a young age? What if she runs off with that blond-haired kid when she grows up?!

No, Xia Hua needs to be properly educated when she grows up a bit more!

"Men outside are scumbags; if you encounter one, turn away immediately!"

"Naoki-san!"

Akina walked over, leaned on Naoki Nagayama's shoulder, and asked with a grin,

"What's wrong? You look so dejected."

"It's nothing," Naoki Nagayama said, trying to brush it off. "Hana-chan ran so fast, I was worried she might fall."

"It's okay on the beach. Kids need to run, fall, and get back up to develop their balance."

Akina also saw Natsuka picking up seashells from the weeds, and was quite pleased to see her get up immediately after falling without showing any signs of crying.

"Kids really do need playmates. Look how fast and steady Hua Jiang runs now. When I was little, I used to run around everywhere with my older brothers and sisters."

"."

Naoki Nagayama had to admit that playing with children of similar age was essential for a baby's development.

"When they're a little older, we'll send Hana-chan to kindergarten so she can interact with other children. It's just a pity that neither of our families' kids live in Tokyo."

Unfortunately, their current fame and wealth mean that the children will have very few playmates. Yama-oka-in has no neighbors now, and there is no way he could have a "neighborly brother" like that.

"When Little Lily grows up, we can come and play together often."

Akina said something, then nuzzled Nagayama Naoki's face, whispering in his ear.

"But more importantly, I want to give Hua Jiang another little brother!"

"."

Naoki Nagayama was a little embarrassed. Ever since that day when he said he wanted to have another child, Akina had become increasingly bold. There were quite a few people in the hotel now; what if they were seen?

"Let's talk about it tonight!"

Pretending to be serious, Naoki Nagayama pushed Akina aside and turned to look back.

"Weren't you just chatting? Why did you suddenly come over?"

"Ah! I almost forgot!" Akina clapped her hands and said, "We've been to the beach many times these past two days. Tsuruko and Akira want to walk along the coastline to see the panoramic view of the island, and Kokoro and I also want to go up to a higher point."

"But the roads on the island are rugged and potentially dangerous, so I'd like to ask a few men to accompany us!"

"."

Of course, the only men on the island who can keep you company are Naoki Nagayama, Kaede Nagayama, and that guy Kaneda!

But aren't these girls a bit strange? Why don't they go hiking on the beach in this sweltering heat? Aren't they tired?

"But if I leave, who will look after the flower jam and the weeds?"

"Please leave it to Father!" Akina said. "Father has seemed very lonely since he came to the island."

Naoki Nagayama thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

After his parents arrived on the island, his mother, Nanako, quickly became friends with Chieko and other girls. Ken Nagayama, who was not good with words, naturally couldn't join in.

The other men are all younger and feel a little awkward, so they can only read newspapers and watch TV. If they were to take care of the grandchildren, it would probably help them pass the time.

"So, Sayuri is in Mom's care now~"

"That's it!"

Akina smiled.

"Xin Hai and I are experiencing single life again after a long time!"

Okay~

Looking at his wife's radiant smile, Naoki Nagayama could only nod.

What else can you do? You can only spoil your own wife.

Upon receiving the request, Kenjiro Nagayama seemed to be delighted, as if it were exactly what he wanted, and went to check on the two little ones. Their mothers, Nanako and Chieko, only told them to be careful.

Then, apart from sun hats and sunglasses, the group didn't bring much else and happily strolled along the beach.

Naoki Nagayama may not be in Tokyo, but the entertainment industry continues to thrive.

At Ken-On's headquarters, President Hanami Kaku, somewhat annoyed, called in Yoshiaki Tanaka:

"Tanaka, what date did Akina-chan say it would be ready?"

"It's expected to be on the 15th," Tanaka Yoshiaki said. "Tomorrow is Natsuka's birthday, and we'll probably stay for another three days after that."

"Number 15, number 15."

Hanamiko muttered to herself, then sighed.

Which agency's top artists can take a two-week break all at once?! It's a miracle the agency doesn't have to work non-stop!

Unfortunately, Kenon's influence on Nakamori Akina is now too small, and he can only persuade her by relying on their past relationship and Akina's own sense of responsibility.

"Hana-mi-san, what's wrong?"

"Starting in August, the popularity of her previous song 'BLONDE' has gradually faded, and it has fallen quite far in the rankings. If there are no new songs, Akina's record of staying on the Billboard charts for four consecutive years will soon be over!"

Previously, whenever the popularity of a previous song declined, the promotion for the next song would begin, perfectly picking up where the lead was. However, this time, the song selection process itself was flawed, disrupting the original rhythm.

Hanami Kaku was having a bit of a headache, because Akina had been on the music charts almost constantly since she became famous, never falling off.

Even during the days of childbirth and pregnancy, she had the movie "Ghost" and her previous songs to support her, and at the end of each year, "Snow Flower" helped her firmly stand in the top ten of the charts.

And this time, there's actually a chance it might fall off the list!

"what?!"

Yoshiaki Tanaka was also very worried when he heard the news. You know, this achievement is not easy to maintain to this day, and it is one of the symbols of Akina's honor and status in the industry!

He frowned and pondered for a moment:

"Hana-san, how about we release some behind-the-scenes footage or something to boost the buzz?"

"Or perhaps we could use promotional activities to keep BLONDE on the charts for a while longer?!"

Hanami He shook his head:

"None of this will help. If I can't keep up with the next song, breaking the record is inevitable!"

"."

Tanaka Yoshiaki remained silent for a moment before speaking:

"Hana-san, did Akina-chan already finish recording 'The Shipwrecked' before?"

"Huh? Wasn't that supposed to be a test recording?"

"Yes, but both Akina-chan and Tokiko Kato were very satisfied with the final result, so the actual recording won't be too different!"

Hanami Kagami then looked at Tanaka Yoshiaki:

"Then what do you mean?"

"We can use this version to start releasing information and promoting the song."

The more Yoshiaki Tanaka explained, the more feasible it seemed.

"Use what Akina looks like when she's heartbroken as a gimmick to promote her in advance!"

"Then, once Akina returns, after a week, when the hype has died down, we'll go straight to 'Yoru Hit' or 'Music Station' to start promoting her songs!"

"Isn't it connected now?!"

Hanami touched her chin and thought it was feasible.

After all, for the initial promotion, singing is enough; it doesn't necessarily require Akina to appear in person.

The mysterious notion of a "heartbroken songstress" might be more likely to pique the curiosity of fans and audiences.

"it is good!"

Hanami Hyuk made the decision.

"Let's start promoting it like this for now! I'll explain it to Akina when she gets back."

Akina definitely wouldn't mind something like that!

"Hi!"

On the other side of the island, the handsome men and beautiful women who had gone out finally returned to their hotel at lunchtime.

Not only did they work up a sweat, but Naoki Nagayama, Kaede Nagayama, and Taichi Kaneda each brought back two coconuts.

"These are freshly picked coconuts!"

Tsuruko proudly took one from Kaneda Taira's hand and showed it off to her mother, Nanako.

"It took a lot of effort for the mainland to climb the tree and pick these coconuts! Today, I'll let you all have a good taste of fresh coconut water!"

"Such a big person, and still climbing trees!"

Nanako, the mother, complained briefly.

"It must have been you, Tsuruko, who encouraged this! What if Kaneda Taira fell and got hurt?!"

"I didn't! They were the ones who wanted to climb the tree!"

Tsuruko angrily pointed at the three men, but all she got in return was a look of disbelief from them.

There was no way around it; with three men gathered, one of them was bound to come up with the best idea. They happened to spot a few coconut trees laden with fresh coconuts, and there were several girls in front of them.

So naturally, I wanted to do something to earn their admiration.

"cough cough"

The eldest child, Nagayama Kaede, had no choice but to step forward and admit his mistake under the watchful eyes of his elders.

"It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of my two younger brothers, but I won't do it again!"

This finally stopped Nanako's complaints.

Naoki Nagayama looked around:

"Huh? Where are the flower jam and wild grass?"

"Your father took them to see the dinosaur sculptures next door. They'll be back around lunchtime, soon!"

"Alright then, let's try the coconut water first!"

After lunch, everyone stayed in the hotel to avoid the hottest part of the day.

Chatting and singing, time flies.

In the afternoon, both the Itō Shuichi and Yoshimura Ōtomo families finally arrived on the island.

Naoki Nagayama was naturally very happy and went straight to the airport to greet him.

After the Gulfstream plane landed, a group of six people slowly walked out of the cabin. They were Shuichi Itō, Yoshiki Itō, and Kaori Itō, as well as Yoshimura Otomo's wife, Yoshimura Yuki, and their son, Yoshimura Keishin.

"Shuiichi-san, Otomo-san!"

Naoki Nagayama gave the two of them a hug.

"Was the journey smooth?"

"The weather is great today. The plane flew very smoothly too!" Yoshimura Otomo laughed. "Naoki-san's private jet is indeed luxurious and comfortable! We're all extremely envious!"

"Then Otomo-san should buy one too!" Naoki Nagayama laughed. "It's not like we can't afford it!"

"It's too extravagant now. Let's talk about it in a few years."

Then Naoki Nagayama greeted the others. Itoh Kaori, perhaps due to puberty, had grown increasingly slender, but she had also become more shy, no longer calling Naoki "Naoki-nii" as she used to.

"Oh dear, Jia Yi-chan, don't you recognize me? Aren't you going to say hello?"

Naoki Nagayama smiled.

After a slight hesitation, Itō Kaori softly called out "Naoki-nii-chan," and then, as if breaking the awkwardness, a smile appeared on her face:

"Can Xia Hua talk now?"

"Yeah, he's already able to argue with Akina!" Naoki Nagayama laughed. "You'll see her soon!"

Then they moved on to Yoshimura Keishin's side. He was already taller than Yoshimura Otomo and looked like an adult.

"Jingxin-kun will be 18 soon, right?"

"Hi!" Yoshimura Keishin nodded. "I'll be 18 next year."

"Wow, that was fast!"

Naoki Nagayama was somewhat moved.

"Alright, let's go to the hotel first. The room is ready!"

"Good~"

The cars were split into two, with Naoki Nagayama, Otomo Yoshimura, and Shuichi Itō sitting in the front, chatting as they went.

"What do you think of this island?"

Shuichi Itō looked at the port town not far away and sighed:

"They actually built a small town! The realism of filming 'Jurassic Park' will definitely be off the charts!"

"The most important things are the special effects for the dinosaurs and the production of the dinosaur models."

Naoki Nagayama said,

"When I get back to Tokyo, I'm going to visit the Ultraman production team to learn about their process of making exquisite monster suits."

"Hahaha, a little monster?!"

"Yes, this time it might need to be a 1:1 scale, and it also needs to be operable inside, so that it feels more realistic when filming."

Yoshimura Otomo interjected:

"Regarding the male and female leads, how would you like to handle this? Should we hold a casting meeting?!"

“No, I don’t want the casting to be public this time,” Naoki Nagayama said. “I need to find a leading man with solid acting skills.”

"Okay, then let's choose privately."

Yoshimura Hirotomo did not raise any objections.

"Heroine?"

"As for the female lead, this time we don't need an idol type; we need to find someone more intellectual."

We chatted for a short while before arriving at the resort hotel.

The tropical-themed decor and the pristine white sand beach outside make you feel like you've arrived in Hawaii.

Akina stood at the door to welcome the arrival of Shuichi Itō and Otomo Yoshimura's families. She was familiar with the housewives of both families. These were Naoki Nagayama's closest relatives, and she had met the other women as well. They chatted happily upon seeing each other.

In an instant, the once somewhat empty resort hotel became as lively as if it had welcomed a tour group.

"Hana-chan, do you still remember me?"

Yitang Jiayi went straight up to Xiaoxia Hua and asked the little one if she remembered her, but of course she didn't.

"Call me 'sister,' and I've brought you some little flowers!"

Itako wanted to bribe him with a gift, a pretty little hair clip~

Little Xia Hua didn't give them any face. Instead, she wanted to head towards the wild grass on the other side of Yongshan Mountain. This little guy can't live without wild grass!

"Eh~~~ Flower Sauce~~~"

Yitang Jiayi could only try to get close to her, but Xiao Yecao had never been to Tokyo and genuinely didn't know her.

Neither of the two little ones gave her any face, which made Yitang Jiayi very sad.

Yoshimura Keishin, on the other side, felt somewhat awkward. Those present were either his elders or younger people of a different age. After exchanging a few perfunctory greetings, he could only idly drink his beverage.

Just then, he spotted Kaneda Taira, who was much older than him but also somewhat embarrassed. The two started chatting and surprisingly got along quite well.

The laughter and chatter continued until after dinner, and as darkness fell, everyone began to prepare for bed.

Just then, Yamakawa Shigeaki came over and whispered a report:

"The decorations for Naoki-san's party are complete and ready to use tomorrow."

"The fireworks have also been arranged; all we need is one more command!"

Hearing this, Naoki Nagayama nodded in satisfaction:

"Okay, thank you! Yamakawa-san, you should get some rest early today too!"

"Hi!"

After Shigeaki Yamakawa left, Naoki Nagayama caught a glimpse of the beautiful decorations in the garden, and the inflatable castle in the distance. He figured Natsuka would be very happy when she woke up tomorrow!

But the one who probably had even more fun was Little Wild Grass.

The hotel manager also came to tell Naoki Nagayama that tomorrow's cake is ready!

Tomorrow is Xia Hua's birthday!

Naoki Nagayama has been vacationing on Jurassic Island for almost two weeks now!

　I didn't expect the transition in the middle to be so long; I've written several chapters. But I can't stop writing now. However, it will be over soon, and I'll be preparing for the next movie!
