Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

  Chapter 1156 Lost...

   There are still three days before the Olympic Games will open.

  The whole of Tokyo has entered a very excited state.

  Even TV Tokyo, a TV station that only broadcasts cartoons and e-sports all year round, has begun to broadcast Olympic-related programs.

  Many viewers shouted that TV Tokyo has changed its taste, is becoming vulgar, and follows the mainstream.

   But the increase in ratings is real.

  Even though most of the people are pessimistic about the Olympics, they still hope that the Olympics will bring some changes to their existing lives, even if it is only a little bit.

  After more than 20 years of economic downturn, the Japanese have become more and more decadent.

  In the beginning, when the bubble just burst, everyone was still hoping that the crisis would pass soon.

   Then ten years passed, and the Japanese called it the lost decade.

   At this time, the older generation is still a little unwilling, and still wants to regain the glory of Japan.

  Twenty years later, Japan is still the same, except for games, animation and other industries that have actually expanded the world, forming a global influence, allowing Japan to hang the last trace of dignity.

   At this time, the older generation has gradually aged, and some have passed away. They no longer have the courage to dare to fight, and what is left is only loss and depression.

As for the younger generation, as long as they can remember, Japan was already in decline. They had no chance to experience Japan's once glitzy days, and they could occasionally learn about Japan's past glory from the media and the Internet, but that's far from it. They are far away.

  All they can see is Japan with feathers all over the place.

  Combined with video games and anime, otaku has become popular in Japan until now.

  However, this year is very different.

  An old man over seventy years old is standing on the streets of Japan, and not far away, a group of retro hot girls are excitedly taking selfies.

  Idols are working hard for their future in one corner. It seems that Japan is still immersed in the lost era and is still sinking.

  But there are different scenery in other places.

  The old man bent his body and looked around.

  This street has his deep and incomparable memory.

   He used to be a construction worker, the kind of worker who specializes in building urban roads.

  This bustling street has a part that he once participated in.

  He still remembers very deeply, that is, he laid a foundation on the side of the street.

  He has witnessed the glory of Japan.

  In the 1970s, he was in full swing, striving for a better future.

  Earlier, he had witnessed the rise of Japan because of an Olympic Games, established national self-confidence, and since then has its own position in the forest of the world.

   Later, in the craziest years, he chose to resign from his position as a worker and become a real estate investor.

  At that time... people seemed to have gone crazy, dreaming unrealistic dreams.

   But when the dream broke, everything looked so cold.

   hiss~

  The old man closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the surrounding air.

  The air is mixed with car exhaust, and there are some indescribable smells, but he misses it very much.

  Because this bad air represents the thriving development of the city.

  He hasn't smelled it for a long time.

"Wow! You are a famous diver, right? Can I take a photo with you? I like you very much!" A young girl happily ran to a handsome foreigner, holding a pen and paper, hoping to get an autograph .

  The foreigner didn’t understand Japanese, but he could at least understand the girl’s body language. He nodded with a smile and signed the girl’s name. The girl immediately bowed and thanked the foreigner happily.

   Not far away, there are some Japanese social animals with their chests up.

  Before this, each of them was either listless or dull-eyed when they went to work.

  That is a group of people whose edges and corners have been smoothed by life.

   But now, each of them held their chests up.

  Recently because of the Olympic Games, it is true that many companies have gained new interests, and some old companies have begun to revitalize.

   Even though many people hate the Olympics, they feel that the Japanese government is going to fight for this kind of thing, and consuming their taxes is simply a waste of resources.

   But judging from now, at least there are still some effects.

   There are quite a few foreigners walking around on the street.

  Some of them are passengers, some are staff.

   Just today, the old man saw the vitality that Japan has not shown for a long time.

  I am really moved. If possible, he even hopes that he will be 20 years younger and become a normal person with certain behavioral abilities, to do what he likes to do, and to contribute to this society.

  It's a pity that he is old and can only be a supermarket cashier at best.

   But he is already very satisfied.

  At least in his own lifetime, he saw the moment of Japan's rejuvenation again.

  He can rest in peace even if he dies now.

   "Long live! I finally caught the Japanese exclusive Pokémon! Ahahahahaha!"

   At this moment, a voice made the old man unable to bear to look back.

  It was a Westerner, holding a smartphone in his hand and looking excited.

  What is he happy about?

  The old man can't understand foreign languages, and this person doesn't seem to speak English, and he can't understand it even more.

  But he could see the excitement on this person's expression.

   "Let me take a look, wow! It's a different color, you guys are really lucky."

   "Hey, I've been squatting in this place for several days, and I was almost considered a homeless overseas, but it's all worth it!"

  The Westerner was very happy, and then he searched around with his mobile phone, and found a new rare Pokémon that was about to appear, so he ran to the next destination without saying a word.

  The old man knew that it was a smartphone, and he seemed to have heard the name Pokémon.

   This is something that my grandson and son like very much. It is difficult for him to understand the fun of this thing at such an old age.

  He didn't expect that this group of foreigners would also like this kind of children's stuff.

   This made him vaguely remember the evaluation of video games on TV stations and newspapers.

  Cultural industries such as video games and animation have at least allowed Japan to breathe a sigh of relief in the past two decades, so that it will not be completely eliminated from the jungle of the world.

   And because of the prosperity of industries such as video games and animation, they can actually support many people.

  In terms of technology, Japan was beaten to death by overseas capital, and almost couldn't survive. If it weren't for the support of industries such as video games and animation, Japan would have become even worse.

   Now seeing that group of foreigners like his country's video games very much, he, an old man who doesn't understand video games, also feels very relieved.
