Chapter 18 Yamaguchi Bai (5)

  "Hey! Hello! I'm Jerry! Is that you, Yoda-kun?! What's up? Please don't tell me you want me to release another EP or I'll hang up the phone right now! Hmm? It's not about an EP? Then what is it? What? Say it again? Grammy? Are you sure you're not dreaming? Okay! I pinched myself, and yeah, I feel pain, and I'm sure I heard you say Grammy! Three nominations? Best Single, Best Instrumental, and Best New Artist? Hmm? And another one? You mean "_X" got a nomination for Best Rock Performance? Oh my god, this is... Wait a minute, Yoda-kun, there's something I don't get. Why the nomination for Best Instrumental? Are you saying that Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra's performance of "Conquering Heaven" in Hong Kong caught the attention of the Grammy judges? Okay! Okay! This is just too unexpected! Alright, alright, I got it! February, right? Remind me when the time comes!"

  Jerry hung up the phone and took a deep breath, his face flushed with excitement.

  Grammy, it's Grammy!

  If Jerry's old habit hadn't kicked in, he should have gotten the news on December 25th, 1988, because that was the day the Grammy nominations came out!

  Alas, it seems I won't be able to wait for the market development department's report from the coffee shop! Regardless of the survey results, we'll still have to give the Yamaguchi Prefecture plan a try!

  "Na Na Tsu ~ Na Na Tsu ~"

  "Hi!"

  Tanaka Nana lifted her head from the desk, during this period after New Year's, she was busy with both company and union affairs, while also busy previewing lessons, the course schedule of the Department of Management at Nihon University is quite tight, let alone Tanaka Nana compressed the class time by half.

  "Hmm? Never mind, never mind, you keep reading your book! I'll go see if Miss Hoshimiya is free!"

  Tanaka Nana quickly emerged from behind the desk, her movements so agile that it was impossible to react. She blocked Jerry at the door, making a fierce expression, "Hey, Jerry-kun, what's going on?"

  "Ugh, forget it! If you still want to read books, then just give up! You don't have a lot of time anyway!"

  Tanaka Nana continued to press Jerry against the door, her eyes gleaming with a fierce light. She licked her lips and pretended to gnash her teeth, "What's going on? If you don't tell me, hmm~"

  This woman is quite something when she gets angry!

  "Alright, alright, I'm scared of you! It's nothing to tell you anyway! Hmm... I was planning to visit Miura Tomokazu-san! But since you're so busy, I think it's better if you don't go! Just relax and read your book!"

  "Mr. Miura Tomokazu? Are you going to his house?"

  "Yeah! Now he doesn't have any new work, should still be at home with his wife!"

  Tanaka Nana's eyes are shining brighter and brighter!

  "Take me there, take me there, Jerry, please!"

  "Hey, Cai Cai Zi, pay attention to your image. Besides being the CEO of the company, you're also a mother of a 10-year-old child! How can you behave like this? You're not a kid anymore!"

  "No way! You take Mameko there! That's Ms. Yumi Yamaguchi's house, isn't it? No way!"

  Jerry's mouth corners started twitching at a high frequency, he never thought that Tanaka Kanna would actually pout to him, what kind of world is this! My god~ She even stuck out her little tongue and acted cute! Poor Jerry, completely defeated~

  All the way, Tanaka Nana was still chattering away, recounting Yamaguchi Baiko's life story, where had her usual elegant and virtuous demeanor gone?!

  "Mr. Lami, wait here for a while, it may take two or three hours at most, and half an hour at least. Remember, don't drink any more wine! Otherwise, I dare not sit in your car again!"

  "Alright, alright! You little thing, are you a man or a woman? So nagging! Go do your own thing, my business doesn't need you to worry about it!" After saying that, Carlos opened the car door, pulled out a half-drunk bottle of wine, removed the cork and took a swig!

  Damn it! What's the point of having a bodyguard like him?!

  Helpless Jerry turned around and walked towards Miura Tomoaki's house with Tanaka Nana.

  Ding Dong~

  The doorbell rang!

  Miura Tomokazu and Yamaguchi Momoe were taken aback while teasing their two sons.

  "Friend and you, at this time, who else will come to visit?"

  Miura Tomokazu shook his head and the doorbell rang again. "Momo, take Yutaro and Takada in first!"

  "Alright then!"

  The one who opened the door was Miura Tomokazu, and he saw Tanaka Nana standing at the entrance with a somewhat excited look on her face, as well as the mature-looking little guy beside her. Miura Tomokazu was taken aback for a moment, hmm, this woman looked familiar, but for the time being, he couldn't quite recall who she was!

  "Hello! Miura-kun, I'm Tanaka Nanako! This is my little son Jerry-kun, nice to meet you, please take care of us!"

  Miura Tomokazu suddenly realized that it was Tanaka Nana, the lady he had seen in a promotional video about the Japan Women's Rights Association on TBS TV some time ago. What is she doing here?

  "Ah? Hello! I'm Miura Tomokazu, nice to meet you!"

  Come in, take a seat, have some tea!

  Then Jerry sat face-to-face with Ms. Yamaguchi Baishi!

  Several times, Tanaka Kanna almost got up from the cushion and sat face to face with her idol, but if she couldn't get an autograph, the loss would be too great, so Tanaka Kanna endured it!

  After all, Ms. Yamaguchi is still holding a child on her lap!

  "It's like this, Miura-kun! The Robonica Film Company under the IC flag of the youth is just about to start filming a movie, and Director Nakada Hideo thinks your image would be quite suitable! As it happens, I also need to go to Kokuritsu-shi to survey the market, so I came over conveniently at the same time! This is the script for the film!"

  Sanada Hirotsuna, I'm sorry!

  Miura Tomokazu took over the script and glanced at it, "Midnight Bell", that famous horror by Tanaka Nanako?

  "Is Nakata Hideo-san asking me to appear in Takayama Ryūji?"

  "That's right! Not one bit wrong!"

  "But Nenekotsu-san, don't you think there's a big difference between my image and what's inside?"

  "Hmm? As of now, the difference is quite big, Miura-kun currently doesn't have long hair and has a beard, so there's a significant difference in appearance that can't be avoided! However, I still trust Nakata-kun's eyes!"

  "Alright then, I'll keep the script for now, and if I think it over carefully, I'll get back to you!"

  "I hope Miura-kun can make a decision as soon as possible! Ah, yes, actually, I came here for another matter, which is actually related to Ms. Yamaguchi Yumi!"

  "Me?"

  Yamaguchi Baiko, who was sitting beside her, looked stunned for a moment before turning around and saying, "If you're here to ask me to make a comeback in the entertainment industry, Miss Nakamura, then please don't say anything more. I'm absolutely not going to agree!"

  Hmmm! You have this reaction, Jerry had expected it long ago!

  Tanaka Nana smiled slightly and turned her head to look at the little guy beside her, Jerry, it's your turn!
