035, it really is a young man who knows so much about nightclubs
It turns out,
Life does not allow you to be decadent.
Naoki Nagayama is actually very busy right now.
I have to go to Teacher Sachiko every week to learn music theory and musical instruments; the disco in Takadanobaba is about to be renovated and needs to be prepared for opening; the house in Bunkyo Ward and the shop in Shibuya also need to be transferred; I have to prepare to take the driver's license test; and occasionally I have to pay attention
Let’s talk about the promotion of new songs and so on.
Even after a day's rest, first-level architect Takashi Honma called. The disco was basically decorated and Naoki Nagayama could come over for inspection.
Time flies and it’s April...
Nagayama Naoki took the tram to Takadanobaba, crossed a street, and found a warehouse with its covering removed. Oh no, it should be called a disco.
Takashi Honma brought Naoki Nagayama in. The decoration had been completed, and the interior decoration was completely in accordance with the design drawings.
Directly in front of the entrance is a shielding wall, which will be nailed with the disco's logo in the future, or used as a decorative wall for a disco themed night.
Entering through the small doors on both sides, the space suddenly opens up.
The dark blue dance floor and the DJ console at the bottom occupy at least 2/3 of the area, with more than a dozen booths scattered around it.
The roof is reinforced with a steel frame and is not covered with a ceiling. It is only painted with a layer of paint.
A huge rotating light sits in the center.
A circle of hanging effect lights and a top rail for speakers are designed near the top of the surrounding walls, and a passageway is reserved for maintenance by only one person.
On the right side of the hall is the bar, and behind the bar is a small door leading to a storage room and a small office.
On the left is the safety side door, which leads to the toilet outside.
"Homma-kun, have you tested the lighting and music? How is the sound insulation effect?" Naoki Nagayama asked.
"Everything has been tested. The sound insulation effect has also been tested by a professional testing agency. It completely meets the standards. This is the report." Takashi Honma handed over the report in his hand, but Naoki Nagayama did not accept it.
"Of course I believe in Mr. Honma's seriousness and responsibility. I bought a record when I came here today. Let's try it."
Naoki Nagayama took out from his backpack a copy of "ride on time" that Tatsuro Yamashita had just released last year. This album is said to have started the citypop era, and asked Takashi Honma to play it.
Along with the rhythm, the lights in the disco began to alternately change, especially the rotating light in the center, which was colorful, making the disco feel like a dream for a while, as if it was in a different world.
This effect can be said to be very perfect.
In Nagayama Naoki's plan, this disco should focus on city pop, rock, and heavy metal. Its opening hours are mainly daily night clubs, weekends, afternoon shows, midnight shows, etc.
However, you still need to find a person in charge of the nightclub. Naoki Nagayama doesn’t want to be responsible for running the nightclub by himself. It’s too troublesome. Yakuza is one of them.
You know, Yakuza was still very rampant during the Showa period, especially when it came to opening a store. If you didn't have certain means and background, the gangsters who came to your door would make it impossible for the store to open.
Although Nagayama Naoki seems to have never met Yakuza during this period, this is because his social life is relatively simple and he is relatively homely. All the transactions and ways of making money he experienced were through a certain amount of intermediary companies and offices.
It is carried out to completely isolate the dark side of society.

"So Naoki-san came to see me?" At this time, Yoshimura Otomo was obviously a little confused, "Why do you think I know such a person?"
The nightclub manager Naoki Nagayama wants must first know a little bit about music, then a little bit about management, and finally he must have the ability to deal with Yakuza on the street.
Of course, he didn't exist in his circle of friends. After searching around, he felt that the director of the planning department of Fangcun Dayou might have it.
"Because Otomo-san is well-informed~" Nagayama Naoki complimented, "Otomo-san has been working hard in the entertainment industry for decades, and among the connections he has made and the juniors he has supported, there may be someone who is in need.
Talent~”
"Well, I do know a lot of people~" Otomo Yoshimura said with a soothing expression, "But when it comes to opening a nightclub, why did Naoki-san suddenly think of doing this?"
A talented songwriter like Naoki Nagayama has a bright future in the record industry. If he hadn't refused, there would already be agencies wanting to ask him to sing. Even if it was just for a commercial, many people would have inquired about his schedule.
.
"Whether it is filming commercials or composing songs, Naoki-san has a lot of potential. If you want to enter the entertainment industry, we also have opportunities to cooperate~"
Nagayama Naoki said: "Spare me... the 50 ngs of Shuichi-san last time made me almost crazy~"
Writing songs still depends on inspiration.
If you're shooting commercials, you can just shoot occasionally. If you make it your main business, you won't be short of money for the time being.
The first quarter's share of Seiko Matsuda's song has come down. After paying off this month's loan, there is still nearly 40 million on the account. Although the subsequent share will still be used to repay the monthly loan, and may decline.
But this long-selling song will definitely continue to bring in huge profits in the future.
Not to mention there is also "さくら~あなたに出会えてよかった~" (Sakura Sakura Wants to See You), and more shares are on the way.
"Opening a nightclub was actually a spur-of-the-moment idea." He said to Dayou, "I have been to other nightclubs before and felt that their format was too old-fashioned, so I thought of opening a latest and trendy disco."
"Disco?"
"Hey, it's a nightclub style that has just become popular in the United States."
"I see, Naoki-san is indeed a young man who knows so much about the development of nightclubs..."
After continuing to chat for a while, Nagayama Naoki entrusted the matter of finding someone to Yoshimura Otomo.

In rb, as long as you are over 18 years old, you can take the driver's license test.
Generally, training can be provided through training centers and residential driving schools, and it only takes about 2 weeks to obtain the certificate.
Of course I knew how to drive in my previous life, but I learned how to drive an automatic transmission. Nowadays, I still have to learn how to drive a classic car like this. As there was nothing else to do, Naoki Nagayama planned to get his driver's license first and then buy a car to avoid having to drive in the future.
Wherever I go, I have to send Otomo-san with me.
You don't need to rely on other people's recommendation for this kind of thing. Just find a driving school near your home in the newspaper and sign up directly.
The clerk at the driving school was very efficient. After collecting the tuition fee of 300,000 yuan, he immediately contacted the instructor of the driving school. The preliminary study (written test) started on the same day.
I got a bunch of information for you to learn the traffic rules...then take the test, and you can only get on the bus if you pass.
But it's actually quite simple. A normal person can pass the test by reading it twice. Naoki Nagayama started getting on the bus on the third day.
Don’t think that rb’s driving school instructors don’t know how to curse!
Listening to the coach scolding the young man next to him, Nagayama Naoki was still frightened. Fortunately, he had learned it once in his previous life, and now he learned it very quickly, and the coach could not find any faults.
After a week passed, Naoki Nagayama was basically practicing driving. The coach said that if there were no class requirements, he could already take the test.
At the same time, Nagayama Naoki also began to look at cars on the market. There are many car models these days. Why not buy a sports car?
It’s too expensive. You should consider it after you gain financial freedom. For now, just buy a mobility scooter~
