Episode 11: Yamanaka Daisuke style

Kawarabayashi Nobuhachirou

Kawarabayashi's River lover!

I'm so sorry!

This was all because of my carelessness!

I made a mistake and lead them to the wrong room,

and unfortunately... your habutae mochi was eaten...

I'm so sorry!

This might not be a perfect replacement but...

Ah!

Eh?

Eek!

You bastard!

Resignation

I'm so sorry.

Kawarabayashi refuses to work with any actors from our agency.

All of the drama series, movies, and ads we were working with him on are canceled.

Yamanaka-chan, this was a really big loss.

I can't believe this is how I'm repaying your kindness to me...

I'm really so-...

Yamanaka-chan!

Eh?

If you're dealt a bad shot once in life, wouldn't it be boring if you weren't able to be instantly forgiven for it also?

Eh?

Resignation

Back when we first met your life was hanging over a precipice just like it is now, wasn't it?

That's right.

I used to take life for granted.

That's great!

We're done, Yamanaka-chan!

Who is that kid?

He's Yamanaka Daisuke, a popular model right now.

He's a bit of a tough guy.

Since I was a popular model, I was completely full of myself.

Hey!

It was really only a matter of time until I was going to find myself at the bottom of a hole.

Angry shouting match leads to assault and battery

Popular model Y-san's assaults and knocks out a man on the street Interview reveals all

The popular model YD-san seen out drinking with girls at all hours of the night.

The one who reached out to me when I had lost everything,

was the CEO, Manda.

Do you want to work for me?

When I think of what happened, I feel like I can't even look you in the face.

I really wanted to scout you to work as one of our talents...

but you are one of our best managers now.

I have to take responsibility.

There isn't only one way to take responsibility.

Not just one!

Yamanaka-chan,

Eternally indestructible

People can be driven right to the edge of a precipice in life, and then struggle and struggle

until they suddenly hit a turnabout home run and make a comeback.

That's what makes drama!

Life is a miracle. It's entertainment!

No matter who you are or when you start, you can start something new and shine brightly!

No matter who... or when you start...

Yamanaka-chan! Show me the proof of those words!

I'd do whatever I could for the CEO who helped me turn my life around.

So when his daughter, Fukuko-san, became the new CEO, I decided to help her run Manpuku Talent Production.

However...

Financing and management conditions Interim report

The business is in serious trouble.

My father used his kind personality and personal connections to run the business.

But those methods weren't always linked with sales.

It is no exaggeration to say that currently, Manpuku Production is like a candle in the wind.

So we need to come up with as many ideas as possible on how to get out of this precarious situation.

Please think about it for our finance meeting next week.

Yamanaka-chan!

No matter who you are or when you start, you can start something new and shine brightly!

Oh, Gentlemen! They're so handsome...

Gentlemen Announces National Tour!

They're still so good at their age!

No matter who... or when you start...

CEO

They say a lifetime is 100 years,

so in your 30s and 40s, there's still plenty more to come!

No matter who you are or when you start, you can take on a new challenge!

So I'd like to use job recruitment agencies to search for middle aged men who are up for the challenge

and have them debut as an idol group!

Middle aged idols?

Who would want that?

People cheer for people who are trying their best.

Age doesn't matter in that!

I'm sure there are people who will support middle aged idols!

What do you think?

Boss, please!

It sounds interesting!

But on one condition.

Yamanaka, how old are you now?

44.

Then you're definitely middle aged.

Since it's your idea, you should take it on yourself.

You'll be a member of the group.

Eh?

Are you up for the challenge?

I had no other option.

Middle Aged Idol Project Idol group name

Ah! Asakura-san! Have a good night.

Previous CEO's belongings

"Eternally indestructible" ...huh?

Eikyuu... Eternal...

Yes, yes, Pepe-chan you're a good boy! You're so sleepy, huh?

Boy... Shounen...

Ah!

That's not bad!

Eikyuu Shounen Eternal boys

Woooo!

Thank you very much. We'll contact you with the results.

Okay!

It was a pleasure! Thank you for having me!

Was that really THAT Imagawa Tsuyoshi-kun?

Even though he used to be so cute...

Then let's bring in the next person.

My name is Sanada Kentarou. Thank you for seeing me today.

Then, could you start by telling us why you decided to apply with us?

Y-yes! The reason I'm applying with your company

is that I've loved the oden from your company ever since I was young,

So he's the type who recites things from memory, huh?

But doesn't he have the wrong company?

Oden?

We make oden?

Ah, no, sorry!

Umm, I mean... In my previous job...

He's a nervous person and can't deal well with the unexpected.

He's not good under pressure. He wouldn't be a good prospect.

Have you also applied to other companies?

I've applied to many places.

They all... rejected me.

Of course they did.

I see.

Then, to finish up, could you tell us a bit about yourself?

I always worked so hard...

Eh?

and I was fired by a piece of paper hanging on the door!

Saying the company went bankrupt!

After 17 years!

I worked there for 17 years and yet... all there was... was just a piece of paper on the door...

What were these past 17 years for!?

Now I'm looking for a new job and keep getting rejected...

What is this passion?

He's sweating and desperate.

Without any shame!

People can be driven right to the edge of a precipice in life, and then struggle and struggle

until they suddenly hit a turnabout home run and make a comeback.

That's what makes drama!

My life is hanging over a precipice!

Ah!

Then these are the members!

Hold on.

Let's make him a member too.

He was born the same day that...

With these guys, we can probably hit a turnabout home run!

Right, boss?

Huh?

Yeah.

Okay, yeah, we'll talk about it next time.

Yes, I understand.

But I wonder why we're called "Eternal Boys"?

Isn't it just as the name says? We have the hearts of young boys for eternity.

I wonder who came up with it.

Don't know, probably the CEO?

"Eikyuu" can also be pronounced "tokoshie" and "towa." A similar word is "eien" but-...

Okay. We don't need a language lesson.

Anyway, it's a great name, isn't it?

Yes, it's easy to remember and I think it gets our message across well.

So they say!

Isn't it great to be praised?

Why do you know I thought of it?

Oh, was I right?

I was just trying to trick you into telling.

I can't underestimate him.

Come on, let's start the meeting!

Okay!

Friends! Oh, friends!

Friends! Oh, friends!
