Chapter 677 Akimoto-san, long time no see
"Akimoto-san, long time no see!"

This is a high-end restaurant in Ginza, a busy area in Tokyo.

Judging from the size of the store and the extraordinary decoration, it is obviously a quiet restaurant located in the bustling city.

On the neon signboard at the door, the word "Little Ten" was impressively written.

"Ginza Xiaoten" is a restaurant that serves banquet dishes. It is also one of the few Japanese restaurants in Japan that has been rated as a three-star restaurant by Michelin Magazine.

The owner and chef, Toshi Okuda, was born in Aoyagi, a famous restaurant in Tokushima.The style of cooking is traditional, and it emphasizes on original taste and health.

Many of the dishes use high-grade ingredients such as matsutake, wild eel, abalone and so on.

Among the recommended dishes are chazuke rice, charcoal-grilled Omi Wagyu beef and selected fresh fish sashimi from all over the world. Desserts here are definitely not to be missed.

There are only 14 seats in the whole store, and behind the 6 bar seats is a small box that can be its own country.

But at this moment, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had been waiting for a long time in the small box, finally got Yasushi Akimoto after drinking two cups of barley tea.

"Sakamoto-san, long time no see."

As before, Yasushi Akimoto, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a black suit, and a haircut parted in the middle, walked leisurely into the box.

Seeing the fat man Yasushi Akimoto, Kiyoshi Sakamoto realized that he hadn't been to Akihabara and Don Quixote's eighth floor for a long time.

Naturally, maybe I haven't seen Yasushi Akimoto and the girls from AKB for a long time. . .

Therefore, he also stood up from his seat very enthusiastically and greeted Akimoto Yasushi.

"Akimoto-san, are you here? Please sit down..."

"En." Yasushi Akimoto nodded, and took a seat opposite Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

As soon as he sat down, Yasushi Akimoto looked at the young man in front of him with his small eyes hidden behind the black-rimmed glasses, as if he had never seen Kiyoshi Sakamoto before.

It's no wonder that he behaved like this. In fact, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has changed a lot in the past two years, which surprised Yasushi Akimoto, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves.

"Sakamoto-san, long time no see, a lot has changed..."

Faced with Akimoto Yasushi's emotion, Sakamoto Kiyoshi replied with a smile, "Humans will always grow up, Akimoto-san, don't you think so?"

"Yes!" Obviously, Akimoto Yasushi was very touched by this sentence, "Growth is really important..."

"By the way, I also watched the movie, it was well shot, it's really a good movie!"

"Oh, really? Thanks for the compliment."

Looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and contented, Akimoto Yasushi can't help but sigh in his heart, "Today's Sakamoto Kiyoshi is not what it used to be..."

If it is said that Kiyoshi Sakamoto two years ago was just a young man who achieved great achievements at a young age, then Kiyoshi Sakamoto two years later has grown into a big man who is enough to make Yasushi Akimoto put away his high profile.

"Akimoto-san, haven't you had dinner yet? I heard that the banquet dishes here are very good, especially their charcoal-grilled wagyu beef and desserts. I highly recommend it!"

"Oh, I'm going to give it a try then."

After the exquisite dishes were presented, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also picked up the wine in his hand and motioned to Yasushi Akimoto, "Akimoto-san, please!"

"Please!"

Like Akimoto Yasushi, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is also an all-round creative genius who is outstanding in various fields. Even Sakamoto Kiyoshi is more talented than Akimoto Yasushi.

At the very least, Kiyoshi Sakamoto can compose and write lyrics.

Two geniuses with a huge age gap will have common topics on many things.

Therefore, Akimoto Yasushi has always treated Sakamoto Kiyoshi as a friend who forgets years.

Especially after drinking a few glasses of sake, Akimoto Yasushi also gradually opened up the chatterbox, and chatted with Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

Originally, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a big shot at Sony, suddenly proposed to entertain him. Yasushi Akimoto, a shrewd fat man, naturally guessed that Kiyoshi Sakamoto must have something to ask for.

However, he also never imagined that Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is rich and powerful, needs his help for anything.

Just when Yasushi Akimoto kept guessing in his mind, Kiyoshi Sakamoto finally made a move. . .

After chatting about some irrelevant daily life, under the guidance of Kiyoshi Sakamoto intentionally or unintentionally, the topic turned to AKB, who is now very popular.

After all, for Akimoto Yasushi, today's AKB is his masterpiece.

Praising AKB is more effective than directly praising Akimoto Yasushi himself.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto played the trick of "following what he likes" very well. . .

"Having said that, last year AKB was really great. It's really gratifying to have a single that broke one million. I haven't been to the theater to see the members of AKB for a long time, and I don't know how they are doing now? "

"A-chan, Ma Youyou, Saxi, they didn't cause you any trouble, did they?"

Although he once had the name of AKB music producer, since AKB switched to other record companies, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, an outsider, has long been a stranger to AKB.

Especially after taking charge of SMA, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has no time to deal with AKS.

Not to mention, go to the theater on the eighth floor of Don Quixote and watch AKB performances in person.

He's not that busy. . .

However, he does not have to do it himself to understand the situation of AKB.

He has plenty of eyeliner, in AKB.

Leaving aside Atsuko Maeda, Mayu Watanabe, and Rino Shihara, Masaki Chiba, who is the operating member of AKB, can let him know the internal situation of AKB at all times.

Obviously, Akimoto Yasushi is also very clear about this situation.

It's just that Chiba Masaki, the "student" who values ​​him very much, just turned a blind eye. . .

"Oh, they're busy promoting movies recently."

A few days ago, AKB48's first documentary "AKB48 Together Forever" was officially released.

"I see." Sakamoto Kiyoshi naturally knew the news, but he still followed the topic and sighed: "I really didn't expect that AKB, which was almost disbanded at the beginning, has come to this point now. It's really not easy. . .”

Although I don't know why Sakamoto Kiyoshi is suddenly emotional, but his words also touched the softness in the deepest part of Yasushi Akimoto's heart. Yasushi Akimoto also pushed the frame and echoed: "Yes, who would have thought of it... "

Even he who had the most confidence in AKB was forced by the predicament at that time and almost had nowhere to go.

AKB can have the current grand occasion, Akimoto Yasushi is naturally the one who feels the most.

Looking at the nostalgic color in Yasushi Akimoto's eyes, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also felt that it was time!

"By the way, Akimoto-san, I invite you here this time to ask for one thing."
