Chapter Thirteen The Power of Idols

 Just when the superficial calm that the Matsuba Society was trying to maintain was about to be broken, Morishita Kogoro suddenly fell into a love affair. Outsiders couldn't help but feel sorry for him. It seemed ridiculous, but the old people in the Matsuba Society saw it very clearly.

Understand, behind this incident, it is obvious that someone is fanning the flames, making the internal fighting within the Matsuba Association increasingly fierce.

Who set the fire?

Those who could think of this problem felt a chill in their hearts. This time it was Kogoro Morishita, so who would suffer next time? Some people tossed and turned all night, and suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, thinking that they were standing on the cusp of the storm and might be killed at any time.

Sudden death and panic, such as Igawa.

In the daytime, he was majestic, and he kept fighting with Mishima even on the corners of his mouth, never giving up. However, in the dark, he arranged many strong Yakuza near his villa to secretly protect him.

Mishima was no exception. He even moved into the home of his long-estranged wife, eating and living with her, never leaving her.

As for President Kikuchi's attitude, he is very ambiguous. He bluntly stated at a regular meeting held by the organization that "competition is a good thing. If there is no competition, the Matsuba Association will have no vitality."

As expected, it was as expected by Narita Sheng

In addition, he knew very well that all competitions must be within the scope of Kikuchi Tokusatsu's tacit approval. As long as it did not cause bloodshed, as long as it did not attract the attention of the Metropolitan Police Department and sacrifice some minions, then there was no way to prevent this internal fight.

necessary.

Moreover, violent groups across the country are in chaos. The relatively large Matsuba Society will not encounter strong foreign enemies, and the old enemy Inagawa Society will not see the rise of new forces breaking the balance of power.

But having said that, this time the so-called "peach incident" posted on Morishita's head was nakedly exposed in the media and newspapers. This impact was not only targeted at Morishita alone, but also hurt the Matsuba Kai and Kikuchi Tokugatsu in the violent group.

The face in.

No matter who is the mastermind behind the scenes, his fate will only be worse than that of Kogoro Morishita. Exposing the inside story of the violent gang to the common people will arouse the unanimous disgust of the whole society, won't it make the situation of the violent gang even more precarious?

According to Narita Masaru's judgment, I am afraid that the losing party in the internal fight within the Matsuba Association will become a public sacrifice to the violent group.

In fact, the truth is often not important. Vested interests only need a "truth" that seems to be the truth, come up with a reasonable hypothesis, give everyone an explanation, and continue on a new journey.

For example, let’s assume that the real “story” of this great change in the Matsuba Society is that Mishima and Igawa joined forces to “conquer the superior”, framed Morishita Kogoro, and forced away the capable generals of the Kikuchi faction. After that, the two tigers fought and the winner continued.

Become a strong contender to be the next president.

So what does Narita Katsu understand the truth?

The so-called truth is best not to have the truth...

This is what he has been looking forward to, and it is also the biggest reason why he conquered Saji Tanaka.

The sun tilts south

As the end of the year approaches, the days are getting shorter and shorter. The strong wind has blown away the garbage in the dirty alleys. The frozen hard ground is exuding a chill. The pattering of shoes can make every hair tremble.

.

If you are in the countryside, I am afraid that as soon as sunset comes, there will be no one on the street. In Tokyo, the colder and heavier the air is, the more it arouses the rebelliousness of young people. The fashionable streets are bustling, row after row.

Street lights light up the winter night.

Coming out of an izakaya that specializes in winter-only loach soup, the warm fat in Narita Masaru's belly melted and spread all over his body, feeling so happy. Walking on the streets of Roppongi, Christmas decorations were everywhere, and the shops on both sides were decorated in red.

Shrouded in the ocean, they are about to merge into one.

Speaking of which, there are still more than ten days until Christmas, but major supermarkets, shops, and even discotheques have made preparations early. The Maharaja is no exception. The props that need to be purchased have been put into storage and the items that need to be made

The good Christmas plans are also ready, and we are just waiting for the guests to have a great time on Christmas Eve.

During the Edo period, Christmas was only a religious celebration for the upper class. At the turn of the Taisho and Showa eras, in order to sell electric lights and promote sales, department stores used newspapers to heighten the Christmas atmosphere and cater to the public's consumer psychology. However, Christmas has truly become a national

Carnival festivals started after the 1970s.

In the two decades since the post-war economic boom, American culture has swept across the country, accompanied by a certain degree of localization. Since 1976, magazines and weekly magazines for young people have reported extensively on the culture and celebrations related to Christmas, especially Christmas.

After the completion of Disneyland in 1983, the carnival ceremony of the Christmas parade became more and more popular.

From 1986 to the beginning of Heisei, this was the period when Japan’s Christmas carnival took shape. Against the background of the bubble economy, the profit-seeking mentality of pursuing a luxurious and wealthy life has become a fashionable trend in the entire society.

.People have regarded Christmas as an indispensable way of life to satisfy sensory stimulation, and more and more people are flocking to it.

The king who claims to be a fashion pioneer is not to be outdone. The closer to the end of the year, the more he will use up all the energy he has saved for the whole year and regard Christmas as the best business opportunity every year.

This will be the first Christmas that Narita Katsu has spent here, and it will also be the first Christmas that he has organized since he started his business. At first, he thought there was nothing difficult about it, but after actually participating, he realized that the seemingly simple celebration involves

There are many aspects involved. Hosting a successful Christmas is not something that can be decided immediately at a meeting.

He also successfully drafted the proposal under the guidance of many experienced seniors, and launched this year's Christmas plan at the regular meeting within the Maharaja.

Although it was his first time and he had no experience at all, Narita Katsu was very confident. After listening to his plan, Koike Min couldn't help but be impressed by his clear explanation.

Despite this, there are things he doesn't understand.

"I thought you would invite idols to the show."

Narita Sheng walked over to work slowly, and happened to be explaining things to Koike Min in the office. He heard him say something like this rather resentfully, so he put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "I still remember who said "please" first in the meeting.

Can’t afford to be an idol? Now that the performance list has been decided, do you still want to add another idol’s name to the list?"

"But I don't know that you really don't even invite an idol."

Koike Min usually doesn't talk much. Seeing that Narita Sheng hasn't relaxed for more than a month, he couldn't help but want to say something, but this opening of his mouth made him look clumsy. Although Narita Sheng was not fooled by his deliberate joke

Amused, but somewhat comforted by his clumsiness.

"Does Minjun think the future will still be dominated by idols?"

When Narita Katsu asked this question, Koike Min, a "culture and entertainment expert", was stunned.

"Akina and Kyoko will continue to be popular." Koike Min answered honestly. He thought for a long time and couldn't come to a general conclusion, but he knew that the top line would not fall in a short time.

.

Idols, a "commodity", have a very strong vitality. Even in the 1990s, idols were weak, but they experienced a new life after experiencing a low ebb. The so-called "end of the idol era" that Narita Masaru alluded to actually refers to entertainment.

Changes in the mainstream of the industry and the replacement of idols.

When a certain phenomenon or thing reaches its peak, it will show signs of decline, and then it will embark on a staggering downhill road.

In fact, it is not as difficult as imagined to lead the trend, as long as you completely abandon it before it flourishes and declines, and look for new alternatives, thereby stimulating a new round of enthusiasm from the public.

From a certain perspective, the changing of trends is really cruel.

"So, Toshi-kun must have noticed the weakness of the idol world." Narita Masaru continued.

Koike Satoshi nodded, "The talent show "The Birth of an Idol" was suspended last year. When I saw the news reports, I didn't think so far ahead. Now it seems that this is just a sign."

Although Narita Masaru comes from a later generation and has a forward-thinking vision, God did not send him a "gold finger gift package", and the context of the times will not change because of his appearance. Specifically, what will follow will be the weakening of idols and various music

An era when a hundred flowers bloom.

Then it is not difficult to understand why the Maharaja’s performance list is full of underground bands. There are various genres of music styles, and the most popular bands in the underground music industry at that time were selected, as if they were determined to

Create your own trend.

"I feel that trends are something that is invisible and invisible. If we only take action after seeing some signs of it, we will be limited by it itself.

If you change your mind, don't take the trend as one thing, jump out of the original development law, and use endless, spoon-feeding public opinion methods to spread the advanced nature of a certain thing to people, plus a little bit of the entertainment industry

If we work hard, we can create a new trend."

"If anything can become a trend through such means, wouldn't it be a scam?"
