Chapter Seventeen In Okinawa (6)

  "Jerry, regarding Naomi's matter, forgive me, I still can't agree!"

  "But why, Ms. Hirai? Isn't this a great opportunity? Are you worried about Naomi's abilities? I think that's not the issue. She has a good physical condition, a good face, and, well, decent vocal skills. Other issues can be cultivated slowly! When heaven creates someone, it gives them infinite possibilities!"

  "Jerry, actually I didn't mean it that way, it's just that I don't want Naomi to become a star!"

  "Huh?"

  "You may not know that Naomi's childhood dream was to become a flight attendant! And I, actually just hope she can live like an ordinary person, peacefully and safely!"

  "Alright then, let's go ask Miss Nami for her opinion! Hey~ Miss Nami, come over here for a sec!"

  Namihei Anshu, who had been eavesdropping on Jerry and Hirame Yumi's conversation from outside the door, heard Jerry's cry and immediately pushed open the door and ran in.

  This is Namie Amuro's house in Naha!

  "Miss Namie, I'd like to ask you something. What are your thoughts on becoming a contracted artist with Dream Music?"

  "I just want to ask, after signing a contract, can I release an album like you?"

  "You're wrong, Miss Namie!" Jerry shook his head. "After signing the contract, you'll need to attend training sessions to learn singing, dancing, cultural studies and a series of other courses. These courses will take up most of your time in life. If your training results satisfy us, I think releasing an album is no problem! If the training results don't satisfy us, I think it's also very beneficial for you to participate in the flight attendant selection!"

  "So, during training, will there be money to take?"

  When he heard this question, Jerry was stunned for a moment and then laughed again. "There is no money, but don't worry, during the training period, the company will bear all the expenses, including your food and accommodation! If you can successfully debut, the prepaid money will be deducted from your future income. If you can't debut? Well, Ms. Hirai, it will be deducted from your salary!"

  "Oh no, my salary?"

  "Na Na Ko Cafe has been in high-speed operation recently, and we will arrange a suitable position for you at the cafe! I think Ms. Hirai wouldn't want to see Miss Nami alone going all the way to Tokyo, would she? You know, how old are you now, Miss Nami?"

  "I'm twelve! I'm twelve this year!"

  "Hmm, yes, Miss Nayumi is only 12 years old this year and still a minor! I think she still needs someone to take care of her by her side! You can rest assured that the salary level of our coffee shop is also one of the best in all of Japan!"

  This is simply a pie in the sky! Um, a very big one!

  There is new work, good salary and a bright future!

  It's simply unbelievable!

  Hirai Emiko's head was a bit dizzy, "Jerry-kun, what you said, is it true? The music company's affairs, can you really take charge?"

  "Of course it's true! The president of the music company is Mr. Yorihiko Ida, and I think my recommendation to Mr. Ida will not be refused! As for what I said, they are all part of DreamMusic's new artist training plan! You don't have to worry about being deceived, each newcomer will sign a complete contract with the company, and the content of the contract includes everything I mentioned!"

  "Then, let me think about it!"

  Giving Hiramatsu Emiko a job at the coffee shop and deducting training fees from her salary was Jerry's personal doing, after all, for Hiramatsu Emiko, this matter is simply unbelievable, and only in this way can she slightly dispel her worries.

  One member, Yuuichi, and Hiroshi Okada arrived in Okinawa two weeks later. Minoru Ono is still bedridden due to a severe leg injury, so Hiroshi Okada became his substitute! One member, Yuuichi, who had a left arm fracture, was also semi-rested, but due to the recent deployment of all police forces in Tokyo against the Yamaguchi-gumi, Chief Ando could only send this old general out as well.

  Ishin Kazuo truly lived up to his name. On the day of the chain accident, he arrived at Nagi Hospital with the help of Sato Shiratori. After the three Yamaguchi-gumi kidnappers came to, Ishin immediately began interrogating them!

  He's very clever, at the time when the little guy went missing, what he should have gotten first was a confession from the kidnapper!

  Lawyer? What chance does he have after a lawyer like this comes over!

  So, in the first sentence, a brave soldier just threw a bomb over, why kidnap? Who is the mastermind behind?

  Being reckless is his motto!

  Three poor guys thought they could get away with it, but all they did was take the fall for the kidnapping! By the time they realized they'd been had, the walkman had already recorded their entire confession!

  This confession was unexpectedly obtained by Ms. Fukutsu Kohiko of TBS TV, so all viewers in the Kanto region heard their words directly from them!

  The die has been cast.

  So, after receiving the news, Mitsui Aiko was also powerless. TBS, a holding company of the Mitsui financial group, unexpectedly became the fuse that sparked the war against the Yamaguchi-gumi. This is really an ironic thing. Do they still want to intimidate Fukuda Yuko? Don't be ridiculous! The whole Kanto region knows that how many people can the Yamaguchi-gumi intimidate?!

  “…Is the idea of equality for all that we advocate wrong? Can't Japanese women have the same status as Japanese men? Is opposing war and advocating peace unbearable for you, accomplices of militarism? You kidnapped Jerry, my son, you want me to shut up, disband the union, and make me a kitchen lady, but I'm telling you, it's impossible! You can never kidnap my beliefs, I won't compromise, the Japanese Women's Rights Union won't compromise, and all of Japan won't compromise! Even if I lose him, lose my love, I will carry out my determination for peace and equality to the end! Unless you shoot me in the chest with your filthy bullets like those crazy white racists did to Martin Luther King...” — TBS TV interview with Tanaka Nana, “Kidnapping him, but can't kidnap my beliefs!”

  "...We resolutely oppose all anti-human and anti-peaceful actions. For this outrageous act, the Japanese government must make a firm decision to thoroughly punish and strike it down! The new generation of Japan absolutely cannot tolerate these social pests slowly corroding the nation's foundation!..." - Red Flag Daily, "Resolutely Strike Down All Criminal Acts".

  Well! Cai Cai Zi is indeed becoming more and more like a female politician! In comparison, the editor-in-chief of Red Flag Daily is far inferior! The whole article just repeats the same few sentences over and over again!

  Can't you learn what it means to move people with emotion!

  However, even so, as the Communist Party of Japan was the first to fire at the Yamaguchi-gumi after a series of traffic accidents, it still gained some goodwill from the Japanese people. When a newspaper controlled by the Yamaguchi-gumi published an article saying "Have you forgotten about the United Red Army?", Akahata (Red Flag) newspaper angrily counterattacked.

  “…United Red Army? No, we haven't forgotten. It's precisely because of the bloody facts that we see how insane these ignorant actions are! Everyone has a new choice, everyone can live a brand new life! MacArthur pardoned Shigemitsu Sato, pardoned Nobusuke Kishi, and pardoned Eisaku Satō, he could pardon those insane international war criminals, give them a brand new opportunity, let them re-enter Japan's politics again. Why can't the Japanese people give the United Red Army an opportunity to fight for you once more?! Yes, that's right, they were crazy about opposing America, crazy about national independence, and crazy about the independence and equality of a newborn Japan! They were crazy with bloodshed in the past, but please don't forget one thing: who dragged Japan into the depths of war? Who trapped Japan in a state of being occupied by others? And who created a weak colonial government?! It's those right-wing militarists behind you! Those sinister careerists! Moreover, don't forget that the Japanese Communist Party is not the United Red Army! I'd like to ask, what kind of intentions do you guys have, trying to slander us...”

  Jerry brought Anzu Namihira back to Akakawa when Japan's public opinion war was still going on!
