Chapter 69: Trip to Shinjuku

 Generally speaking, the rainfall since May this year has been higher than in previous years. It has been raining continuously since the beginning of the plum season, and it has been raining for several days in mid-May. I saw a sunny day stolen, and then a sudden heavy rain in the afternoon.

I don’t know when the battle will stop.

Narita Masaru, who had not stepped out of Roppongi for a long time, looked into the distance. He suddenly realized that this street scene was completely different from the street scene he had seen before. Seeing the majestic streets gradually coming in and then fading away outside the car window, every time they were cut off from the streets.

With the billboards scattered everywhere, he couldn't help but re-experience what it was like on the eve of the bubble era.

From the Shibuya train gate to both sides of Dogenzaka, and then to Kabukicho, shops are lined up in rows, forming a large continuous commercial area.

Not only has the face of the city undergone tremendous changes, Narita Masaru feels that he and the people around him have also experienced various changes.

To be honest, he doesn't like Kabukicho very much.

It is true that the mention of the bustling Kabukicho is very exciting, but what is the charm of custom shops? Striptease nightclubs, Shibuharu clubs, adult cinemas, all kinds of services are in the eyes of office workers after a tiring day.

It's pleasing to the eye, and you won't get tired of it no matter how much you consume, but other than that, there's nothing particularly attractive.

However, in the eyes of businessmen, Kabukicho is like San Francisco to America, a place full of gold.

Exiting from the east exit of Shinjuku Station and heading north is a collection of izakayas. On the other side of Yasukuni Avenue is Kabukicho. This is the real city that never sleeps, and it is also a mixture of illegal and legal. Passing through these noisy areas and heading north, you will see the surrounding environment

It will become mysterious and ambiguous, the atmosphere is quiet and there is a hint of danger, and this is where love hotels gather.

There are dark red lanterns hanging at the door of the hotel. For some reason, the faces of pedestrians on the road look pale and cold, and you can't even see their faces clearly.

In the early spring of Showa 46 (1981), a housewife from Saitama Prefecture was strangled to death in a love hotel. In the same year, still in Kabukicho, a second, third, and final murder of a woman occurred.

It ended in June.

Four murders occurred in a short period of time. Major newspapers and periodicals began to follow up the matter with long and large-format reports, triggering a collective discussion in society about the responsibilities of parents and the plight of people who "go to Beijing" to work.

The murder case was not solved, but the deaths of these women were quickly forgotten by the media. In the eyes of most people, this was just a few prostitutes asking for trouble, and they were neither worthy of sympathy nor worthy of reporting.

Thinking of this, Narita Katsuya had to sigh for the so-called "going to Beijing". Young people have gone to Tokyo to seek development. In this metropolis, the order of local forces has been absorbed and disintegrated, even for the children of famous local families.

, you will also be treated in a downgraded manner when you get here.

If local young people want to have the qualifications to associate with the "eldest ladies" and "young masters" in Tokyo, they must obtain a high degree of education and get ahead in society. However, some Tokyoites who extremely despise the local area are doing incomprehensible things.

They daydream and believe that they can only associate with a group of people who are destined to be their partners from birth.

From the bottom of their hearts, they look down on those idiot young people outside the city, and it is precisely because of their contempt that the strategies they adopt are so absurd and weird.

In the end, men and women born in small places, even if they are extremely talented, can only play the role of cuckolds who are so sacred and admirable.

However, not all local people can step into the threshold of "Tokyo residents". Most people are helpless. They often become victims of criminal acts in a state of being unaccompanied. Most foreigners and strangers gather together.

In Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, near Kabukicho, it has gradually become a blind spot for the law and a microcosm of Tokyo crime.

Narita Sheng could not believe that he was in this area now, walking on a strange street as if in a dream. It seemed that he hated Kabukicho because of the serial murder case, but he later realized that what he really hated was

Public opinion that fanatically pursues novelty.

"Narita-san!"

"Please follow me!"

When the car was approaching the end of the path, Narita Masaru suddenly saw several men running towards him.

"You guys pull over, the car hasn't stopped yet." He shouted in the car that was slowly slowing down.

These men, who belonged to the Toa Kaikan a month ago, were now included in the Maharaja's section because of a gambling game. Moreover, Sosuke, the son of Matsuba Kaikan president Kikuchi Tokusatsu, personally went to Shinjuku to help Narita

Sheng asked for the spoils, so they had to quickly change their appearance and accept the new owner.

The first thing a new official does when he takes office is that no one knows whether he can continue to work. Regardless of whether he is willing to do so or not, at this time, he must be attentive and courteous to make a statement.

"Narita-san," the video store owners saw Narita-san getting out of the car. Regardless of their age difference, they all bowed and saluted.

"Hello everyone, I came here today to get a preliminary understanding of the situation in the store. There is no need to follow me, everyone should perform their duties, and don't delay your work."

Among them was a bald middle-aged man who carefully considered his words and spoke first: "Do you need a ledger?"

Narita Sheng frowned, but thinking that it was inappropriate to act like this for the first time, his eyes turned gentle, "I will not embarrass you casually, nor will I find fault with the account books. I will visit every store and give you

It’s causing trouble.”

After listening to this, everyone was still a little hesitant, but Koike Satoshi, who was standing behind Narita Masaru, was menacing, looking like he would show off his weapon and beat them up if they didn't follow Narita Masaru's words.

The two brave ones resigned first, and the cowards who followed Narita Masaru also left hesitantly. In the end, only Narita Masaru, Koike Toshi, and a few young people were left walking on the street of Kabukicho.

I randomly entered a few video stores and looked at the promotional materials displayed in front of the stores. Even Roppongi, which is extremely fashionable, cannot compare to the video stores here in Shinjuku.

Shinjuku has everything that is available outside, and Shinjuku also has everything that is not available outside. Whether it is pornographic publications, illegal adult videos, or limited-edition idol photos, you can find them all here. It is a paradise for otakus who are dissatisfied with their desires.

Even in the era of sluggish record sales, the profits of video stores were astonishing. It is no wonder that East Asia Kaikan reluctantly transferred the video store to Dajun. Without Kikuchi Sosuke's help, they would even continue to operate intermittently.

Amnesia, forget this bet.

In the pursuit of huge profits, some people are willing to take risks and sell adult videos without mosaics. What surprised Narita even more is that many stores directly put promotional materials for video tapes at the door of their stores, blatantly ignoring the regulations, which attracted a lot of people.

Groups of middle-aged people lined up to buy.

"Narita-san, I have stopped and stopped along the way, and I have barely visited all the video stores in Kabukicho. What I have to say is," Koike Min was eating the takoyaki that Narita Masaru invited him to eat.

After swallowing, he continued: "We in Roppongi are simply incomparable. The dazzling array of video tapes here are really addictive."

"Do you want it? Want to bring some souvenirs back here?" Narita Masaru joked, but Koike Minshi waved his hand and refused.

"Actually, there are many foreigners in Roppongi, and these magazines and videos are not to their liking. But Shinjuku is different. There are people from all over the world, and people of different ages. Whenever they are not satisfied,

You can gain more resonance with certain demands."

Koike Min seemed to understand, but just nodded.

"By the way, has Minjun seen the video tape of Crystal Image Company?"

Narita Masaru's expression was serious, and Koike Satoshi couldn't pretend to be an innocent boy, "I've rented it a few times, and the director is quite interesting. He is both a director and an actor, and he has to dub in a timely manner. The film is very relaxed, like

I’m listening to a talk show.”

"Think about it again, when you were in the video store just now, did you see all his works in the front row?"

"Yes, that's true, but I went to see the idol train and didn't pay too much attention."

Narita Katsu didn't know what to say about him, but speaking of it, he only noticed the name of Crystal Imaging Company when he was about to leave the store, and then remembered the "glorious deeds" of the "all-round director" mentioned by Koike Min.<
