Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1405 (1414): A Big Star Falls in Love with the Silly and Adorable Me – I Know This All Too W

Even before Naoki Nagayama's interview aired, another of his works was already poised for release on Fuji Television!

Viewers who regularly watch Fuji TV are already waiting early for the prime-time slot around 9 PM.

"Tonight is the time when 'Full House' airs!"

Ryoma Adachi, beaming with excitement, switched the television to a Fuji TV channel.

"This is my idol Yukiko Okada's screen debut!! As a die-hard fan, I definitely wouldn't miss it!"

Ryoma Muraya, who shares an apartment next door, looked at his roommate with some confusion:

"Adachi, I heard that 'Full House' is a romance drama."

Ryoma Adachi, who was already sitting cross-legged in front of the television, nodded repeatedly:

"Yes! Yes! Yukiko-chan would be so adorable in a sweet romance drama!"

"Um, I don't know much about you fans."

Murayama Ryoma's expression was somewhat strange.

"But when it comes to romance dramas, isn't the only thing Yukiko Okada does involve dating other actors?"

"Yes, is there a problem?!"

"So, does that mean your idol, Yukiko Okada, is going to date other men, hug, kiss, and even have sex scenes with them?"

As Murayama Ryoma spoke, he noticed the changes in his roommate's expression and became even more curious.

"I don't know about female fans, but don't you male fans feel uncomfortable?! Is this some kind of strange mentality?"

"."

Ryoma Adachi's expression was somewhat awkward.

You know what, it really does feel like your idol has been NTR'd in front of you.

Not to mention that Ryoma Murayama continued to embellish the story:

"Anyway, I feel uncomfortable just thinking about my goddess being held in someone else's arms."

"you you you"

Ryoshin Adachi's words, regardless of the order,

"You're not a fan. Fans should hope that their idols' careers will flourish and their love lives will be smooth sailing."

So what if he's dating someone else?! As long as he's good to her, that's our biggest wish as fans!!!

"But...it's just acting."

"So what if it's acting?! Acting is also about real emotions!!"

".Forehead."

Murayama Ryoma originally wanted to retort, but seeing that his roommate was about to lose his temper, he chose to shut up in time.

This kind of die-hard fan can be quite irritable at times, and he certainly doesn't want his roommate to go down the path of crime!

And just at that moment, Fuji Television's prime-time slot had arrived.

"Hurry, hurry, the prime time slot is starting!"

Murayama Ryoma pointed at the television screen, drawing Adachi Ryoma's attention back.

The television screen first showed an image of Masaharu Fukuyama and Yukiko Okada standing back to back under a street lamp, and then the title of the film, "Full House," appeared slowly in gilded cursive script.

Finally, as if an eraser had wiped the image clean, the luxurious villa in the port area was revealed.

Upbeat music began, and Yukiko Okada's opening theme song, "Sha La La," appeared on the television screen as the visuals changed.

".

oh sha la la la la oh yeah

You ignore me even though I'm so good to you

Your love hasn't awakened.

Like Sleeping Beauty, quietly being stubborn.

"

"Oh ho ho!!"

Adachi Ryoma immediately exclaimed excitedly,

"It's Yukiko-chan singing! I recognized her voice!!"

"So the opening theme is Yukiko-chan's new song!!! That's great!! It's definitely going to be on the trending charts!"

"Hi hi hi yes yes yes"

Ryoma Murayama nodded calmly in agreement. Although he didn't have much of a feeling about idols, the song did sound very light and touching, seemingly evoking images of romantic summer love.

This made him even more interested in "Full House," and he wanted to see if the drama would be as exciting as it was.

In the Yama-zakura Inner Garden.

Naoki Nagayama and his family also sat on the sofa, watching Fuji TV's prime-time slot.

As soon as the opening theme started, Xiaoxia Hua, who had been somewhat uninterested, suddenly became excited!

Upon hearing the "sha la la" chorus, I immediately started humming along happily, even swaying my head!

"Looks like Hua Jiang still remembers the song she learned at the recording studio a few days ago!"

Akina smiled and said,

"This song is very catchy, and kids love it too!"

"Yeah~"

Naoki Nagayama held the little one in his arms to prevent her from falling to the ground if he shook her.

"Speaking of which, Hua Jiang also put in a lot of effort during the recording of this song!"

"Hahaha, that's right!"

Akina also recalled the time when her daughter made props.

"Yukiko-chan is very satisfied with the flower jam!"

"Haha, we'll have to make Yukiko-chan pay the usage fee then!"

Naoki Nagayama tapped the little guy's cheek and smiled.

"Hua Jiang, tell me, what gift do you want?"

Hua Jiang seemed to understand some of what was said earlier, but she clearly understood what gift she wanted. She directly asked for something she had eaten a few days ago, but her mother wouldn't let her eat it anymore:

"I want cake!!"

"Okay! Then I'll have a cake, a strawberry cake!"

"Damn, kids shouldn't eat too many sweet things!"

"."

The little one got angry, buried his head in his father's arms, and ignored his mother!

Naoki Nagayama tried to comfort her a couple of times but couldn't soothe her. He could only hold her in his arms and pat her gently while continuing to watch TV.

"Akina, let's check out how 'Full House' is going!"

The first episode was mostly setting the stage for later plot developments, so it didn't focus much on romance.

However, the two main characters, Masaharu Fukuyama and Yukiko Okada, are truly memorable.

Because when the first scene appears, Masaharu Fukuyama wakes up in his own bed, shirtless, with clearly defined muscles.

Naoki Nagayama could practically hear how many female viewers in Japan were swallowing their saliva!

However, Akina wasn't there, because Naoki Nagayama knew this and covered Akina's eyes just as she was about to appear!

Even the flower sauce in her arms had her eyes covered!

A few seconds later, as Akina and Hanako looked at him with confusion, Naoki Nagayama declared confidently:

"These few seconds of footage are not suitable for girls to watch!"

"Naoki-san, what are you saying?!"

Akina threw a disgusted look at him.

"This is a TV series broadcast throughout Japan, how could it possibly contain anything unsuitable for the audience?!"

Actually, she had just noticed something through the gaps between her fingers.

"Hehe, is Naoki-san feeling ashamed of his self-harm?! Haven't you been exercising in too long?!"

"you"

Naoki Nagayama immediately flexed his biceps, displaying his strong muscles.

"Don't underestimate people!"

"Hehehe"

Akina poked it a few times, then nodded in satisfaction.

"It's ok."

"Hmph, wait until you give birth to your baby, and I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Tch, if you've got the guts, come on over there!"

"."

Hey~

Naoki Nagayama shook his head. Ever since having her baby, Akina has become increasingly less shy about using suggestive language!

"Watch TV! Watch TV!"

Yukiko Okada, an unknown writer who lost both her parents, had been living a carefree life in the luxurious villa left by her father.

However, one day, she never expected that her two best friends would sell her villa behind her back!

To cover it up, they even fabricated an invitation to travel to Hong Kong to get her out of the way.

Who would have thought that on this flight, she would sit next to the popular superstar Masaharu Fukuyama? And so, a love story between two bickering lovers began!

When the big star Masaharu Fukuyama started the film by showering viewers with fan service, many male viewers spat and couldn't help but feel a little jealous of his great physique, while female viewers applauded and wished they could see him from every angle!

When viewers saw Yukiko Okada's novelty about the service in first class on an airplane, they felt a strong sense of empathy. After all, in this day and age, there are indeed many people who have never flown in first class, or even ever flown on an airplane.

Seeing the iconic scene of an ordinary girl meeting a big star really touched a nerve with the audience. Who hasn't dreamed of sitting next to Liu Yifei on a plane?

"European Model Series!" "Encountering Celebrities Everyday"

"I wish I could run into Akina Nakamori on a plane!" "I promise I won't get her autograph!"

"I'm different. Just like on TV, all I need is to meet Masaharu Fukuyama!" "I just need a shoulder to lean on!"

"."

These days, audiences are quite accepting of these "accidental encounters with big stars" scenarios.

Watching the impulsive and adorable Yukiko Okada on the TV screen, and the helpless Masaharu Fukuyama, I felt that this couple was kind of cute!

"A big star falls in love with a silly and cute me"—this kind of plot might seem novel to people from the bubble era, but Naoki Nagayama is all too familiar with it!

Moreover, this kind of plot has been a long-standing tradition and will definitely be a highlight in future idol dramas and short dramas!

"This Monday night drama seems a little different from the previous ones!"

Some more attentive viewers felt that "Full House" was different from previous dramas like "Love Generation," "Tokyo Love Story," and "Long Vacation," seeming more lighthearted and more like an idol drama.

"The story has only just begun, so it's hard to say what will happen later. But it's definitely very relaxing right now."

"It's probably because the male and female leads are both young idols!"

"Yukiko Okada's innocence is just right!! So cute and adorable!" "I think Masaharu Fukuyama is also quite good."

"However, the relationship between Yukiko Okada and Masaharu Fukuyama seems quite good!"

As a die-hard fan, Ryoma Adachi naturally likes it even more.

"Wow, my idol is amazing at everything! Getting a role in a TV series is a piece of cake for him!"

He looked at the impulsive yet innocent and adorable Yukiko Okada in the TV series, his eyes filled with indescribable affection.

"Maybe my family has a Kiko-chan, and she's just as cute in real life!"

"No, no, no, it will definitely be even cuter!!"

Listening from the side, Murayama Ryoma silently moved his seat a little further away, feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with his roommate's thinking.

"However, the female lead is indeed quite cute, and she has some cleverness. She can borrow money directly from someone she just met in a foreign country. I have to say, she's also a bit shameless!"

"This show is actually quite interesting!"

"Nani?!"

Upon hearing Murayama Ryoma's words, Adachi Ryoma immediately erupted in anger.

"You dare say my family has a shameless person like Kiko-chan?!"

"."

Ryoma Murayama rolled his eyes.

"I didn't say that!"

"You have!"

"I don't!"

"."

Murayama Ryoma silently moved his seat a little further out, then stood up abruptly.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep!"

"Don't go! Explain yourself!"

"Die-hard fans are so annoying!"

"."

That evening, countless people stayed in front of their televisions to watch "Full House." Besides Masaharu Fukuyama's smut and Yukiko Okada's naiveté, a song also unknowingly entered people's minds.

For some reason, quite a few people, while taking a shower as they prepare to go to bed, hum softly the song "Sha La La".

Tokyo is a city that never sleeps.

Besides ordinary people watching TV at home, countless others come out to enjoy themselves in the city at night.

Among them happens to be the youngest member of parliament, Yoshihiko Noda!

He was just about to leave Carune to go to the next game with his group of cronies. But just as he was about to leave, the female receptionist called him back:

"Noda-san, please wait a moment!"

"??"

Noda Yoshihiko, his face slightly flushed, turned his head in confusion and saw an unfamiliar female receptionist whose name seemed to be Aoyama Yuo.

"Yuu-chan, what's wrong?!"

"Hi, there's something I need your help with. Could you please come over here?"

Aoyama Yuu's tone was very calm, but very firm.

Noda Yoshihiko found it a little strange, but he didn't think much of it. He turned around and told his friends to go ahead, and he followed immediately.

"Noda-san, hurry up~" "We're waiting for you outside~" "Hahaha, next game, next game." "."

His friends didn't suspect anything, after all, Yoshihiko Noda was a member of parliament, and he had a lot of status and influence.

Yoshihiko Noda followed Yuu Aoyama into a small room with a desk next to the foyer, his tone somewhat impatient:

"Yuu-chan, what's wrong?! My friends are all waiting for me!"

"That's how it is, Mr. Noda!"

Yuu Aoyama took a small ledger out of the drawer.

"With this latest incident, you've accumulated a whole book of debts with our club. It's time to settle them!"

These ledgers are specially made, one for each regular customer. Each page records the customer's spending details, including time, location, and order information. A single ledger can typically hold about thirty transactions before being replaced.

"This VIP ledger is empty and needs to be cleaned out so we can get you a new one."

Aoyama Yuu spoke very politely, after all, the club is a service industry, and even collecting debts requires a good method.

Using the excuse of running out of accounting books is a way to save face for everyone; Yoshihiko Noda had actually experienced this once before.

"That's it!"

Yoshihiko Noda was somewhat surprised; he remembered the last time they settled accounts was at the beginning of the year.

"They're already all used up?!"

"Hi," Aoyama Yuo said with a gentle smile, "Noda-san comes to the club too often, you should take care of your health~"

"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing. I'm perfectly fine!"

Yoshihiko Noda didn't think it was a big deal.

"Alright, how much is the total?!"

Aoyama Yuu said with a smile:

"The total cost is 5068757 yen. Rounding down, Mr. Noda only needs to give 500 million yen!"

"!!!How many?!"

Yoshihiko Noda was stunned for a moment. Even at the peak of the bubble economy, 500 million yen was almost a year's salary for an average white-collar worker!

"500 yen."

Yuo Aoyama's smile remained gentle.

"Noda-san, will you be paying by card or cash?!"

The clubs in Roppongi are not budget entertainment venues; they're money pits!

"How can there be so many?!"

The last time we settled the accounts, it was only a little over 90!

"Noda-san, here is the expense list."

Yuo Aoyama handed him a list.

"All expenses can be checked in this ledger!"

Yoshihiko Noda eagerly took it and looked at it. He saw that all the items were listed, and it was clear that the items with the largest expenditures were bottles of high-end alcoholic beverages.

Among them were high-end red wines, with a single bottle costing hundreds of thousands.

"Why are these red wines so expensive?"

Yoshihiko Noda sensed something was wrong; the last time he paid the bill, there weren't this many expensive drinks.

"Why didn't I have so much money when I drank it before?!"

He always drank like this before he was in Calune!

Of course, Aoyama Yuu had made preparations, and she calmly said:

"I understand Noda-san's questions because of the increase in spending, and I've also analyzed Noda-san's previous expense records."

"Most of the expensive drinks that Mr. Noda drank were ordered by President Yoshimura, so they were put on his tab."

"For the past few months, Mr. Noda has been ordering everything himself."

Yoshihiko Noda then realized that he and Otomo Yoshimura had been drinking together much less often since the start of the new year!

On the contrary, I have a lot more bad friends around me!

I used to drink with Yoshimura Otomo, and we always drank these kinds of high-end drinks, but the bill was always on Yoshimura Otomo's tab. Otomo-san always paid. But now, it's his turn to pay!

"."

Seeing the change in Yoshihiko Noda's expression, Yuo Aoyama spoke up.

"Noda-san, don't you have your bank card with you?!"

"Oh, that's right."

Yoshihiko Noda paused for a moment, then immediately replied,

"I didn't expect to have to pay today, and I only had some change on me!"

Don't worry, I'll definitely bring my bank card next time I come!

He doesn't have enough assets to apply for a checkbook from the bank yet.

"Oh, that's not a problem at all!"

Aoyama Yuu clapped her hands with a smile, and a man in a suit walked in.

"We have a very good relationship with the bank and can provide door-to-door service directly."

"Noda-san, all you need is a credit card!"

".you!"

Noda Yoshihiko was instantly enraged. Was this some kind of order for him to pay on the spot?!

This is clearly treating him like a thug!

"I'm a member of Congress!!! Do you think I'm afraid I won't pay?!"

Noda Yoshihiko loudly reprimanded,

"I'm good friends with your madam! Where's Harada Tomoyo? Call her over here!!"

"Ah, Harada-san."

Aoyama Yuo gently covered her mouth.

"Harada-san isn't feeling well and recently took leave to rest at a hot spring. She probably won't be back until next week."

"During this period, I was in charge of Karune."

In fact, Tomoyo Harada was upstairs, watching this scene in the small room through the security camera!

She watched coldly as Yoshihiko Noda slammed his fist on the table and roared, watched his face turn red with anger, and watched him finally, under pressure from Yuo Aoyama, apply for a credit card on the spot and swipe it to pay the bill.

At this moment, Harada Tomoyo felt only peace.

"Congressman Noda. Even congressmen have to pay for their women!"

"Hmm."

As the madam of the Roppongi club, she had seen countless high-society figures.

A rift has clearly appeared between Yoshihiko Noda and Otomo Yoshimura, a friend of Itsuki.

Judging from Yoshihiko Noda's increasingly arrogant behavior, it will be very difficult for him to rise to a high position in the Diet without the support of a large corporation. He may only have a chance to do so decades later. And she only has a few years of youth left, which she needs to use to make money!

The financial backer behind her is far more powerful than that of a young member of parliament.

Moreover, she also has dirt on Yoshihiko Noda.
