Bab 111: Hype in the United States?
-On a random Target mall in the USA-
Gradually, people in the USA began to learn about KiShin's products, such as KES and the console.
In a Target mall, a man said to his friend, "They say that KiShin was able to dominate Japan?" he said while holding the KiShin Entertainment System.
His friend responded, "I don't know if it's true, man, some companies tend to exaggerate their achievements sometimes..."
The man nodded and said, "Well, let's see for ourselves if it's worth a try."

[New York, USA]
[Tora Corporation Branch HQ]
Luther Tool, the President of Tora Corporation USA, examined the KES released by KiShin.
"This company was still able to make its way into the US market despite our efforts to prevent their entry," a Japanese executive exclaimed as he stroked his chin.
Luther chuckled as he remarked, "These retail companies were simply enticed to distribute a product that outperforms ours in Asia, believing they can sell it in the market."

In New York, Suzuki Electronics Branch Headquarters was also located.
The president and the executives had a solemn reaction as they reported this to the main headquarters situated in Japan.

[Suzuki Electronics Headquarters]
CEO Nikko Tabata held a meeting with the executives to discuss the KiShin's release in the USA market.
One of the executives said, "I have doubts about their sales in the USA market. Americans prioritize quality, and our console is of higher quality and more powerful than the KES. I doubt they can compete..."
The other executives concurred, and Nikko Tabata nodded, saying, "That's true."

[Suzuki Group]
Vice Chairman Shito, the younger brother of Chairman Shiro, received news from his son in the states that he had seen Shinro in a major news report in the USA.
With this information in mind, Shito planned to mock his elder brother once more.
He had been eyeing the position of Chairman held by Shiro.
His envy for Shiro dated back to their childhood.
Their father's preference for Shiro over him had filled him with extreme jealousy.
That's why he was now approaching Shiro's office with the intention of informing him that his beloved younger son had garnered attention from major news in the USA.
Shito didn't exactly know why Shinro was being featured in the USA news, but upon learning of it from his son, he assumed it couldn't be a good thing.
This might be his chance to taunt his elder brother.
He approached the Chairman's office and knocked on the door several times.
The chairman's secretary opened the door and was quite surprised to see the vice chairman.
Vice Chairman Shito entered the room with a smug expression and noticed his elder brother writing something on paper while sipping coffee.
"Elder Brother..." Shito seated himself on the sofa and poured a coffee into an empty cup without displaying any etiquette or respect for Shiro.
Shiro was already accustomed to this and replied indifferently, "What do you want?"
Shito chuckled and responded, sipping his coffee, "Do you have any news about your youngest son?"
Shiro's brow furrowed upon hearing this, and he stopped writing, focusing his attention on Shito. He asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Shito smiled, sitting back on the sofa, and said, "Don't be shocked by what I'm about to tell you... About your youngest son." He paused, observing his elder brother's face closely.
'It seems that no matter how cold he is towards his sons, he still has a heart! Heh, I like to tease him like this...' Shito thought, wearing a smirk on his face.
Shiro frowned, a sense of worry creeping into his heart. "What about my son?" he asked with wide eyes.
Although he had inquired about his youngest son's well-being from his wife, he was still curious about how his son was doing now.
As for Shiruu, he knew that the boy had been doing quite well.
Shito smirked and said, "Take it easy, elder brother, no need to raise your voice," he said, relaxedly sipping his coffee.
Shiro looked at his brother in silence.
Seeing that Shiro remained silent, Shito decided to reveal the information with a hint of mockery, "Don't be too surprised, but... I just heard from my son that your youngest son was in the United States..."
Shiro was visibly taken aback by this revelation and exclaimed, "He was in the States?"
Shito nodded and added, "Not only that, but from what I heard, he was featured in the news."
Shiro furrowed his brows upon hearing this and asked, "Why was he featured in the news?"
Shito shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure about that... My son was rather vague about it."
Shiro nodded seriously, saying, "I see..."
Shito then teased, "Maybe your youngest son got himself involved in a scandal..."
Shiro frowned at those words and instructed his secretary, "Please escort the vice chairman out."
The secretary acknowledged the request, but Shito chuckled lightly and said, "Hehe, there's no need. I can leave by myself." After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the office.
Once his brother had left the office, Chairman Shiro directed his secretary, "Please obtain a copy of the news footage where my son was supposedly featured."
The secretary nodded and exited the office.
Deep in thought, Shiro mused, "What is he doing outside the country? How can he afford it?"
Shiro hadn't inquired much about Shinro from his wife.
After a while, his secretary entered the room with the tape. Shiro eagerly inquired, "Is that the recording of the news?" with anticipation in his voice.
The secretary nodded, and Shiro promptly instructed him to insert the tape into the VCR and turn on the large television.
After a moment, the tape began to play.
"Hello! You've recently become a sensation among music lovers. Do you have any comments on that?" the interviewer asked.
Shin responded with gratitude, saying, "I am grateful."
A CNN reporter then inquired, "Many people are curious about the song you just sang. Could you reveal its name?"
Shin maintained his smile as he replied, "You'll find out when KiShin Entertainment Records releases the album."
Shiro and his secretary watched the tape recordings of Shinro being interviewed by various media outlets.
Upon hearing Shinro mention 'KiShin,' Shiro immediately furrowed his brows.
After watching the entire recording, Shiro frowned thoughtfully and commented, "KiShin Entertainment Records..." He then chuckled, adding, "I didn't expect that my seemingly foolish son was also working for that company, aside from Shiruu..."

Robert Johnson had recently taken a trip to Disneyland with his wife and child. Upon returning home, his child eagerly turned on the TV to watch cartoons, but they were in for a surprise.
"KiShin Entertainment System is now in the States!" the narrator enthusiastically proclaimed, while on-screen, a teenager played 'Duck Hunt' using a Zapper Light Gun. "Now you can play with power!"
Robert's child exclaimed with excitement, "Daddy! Isn't that the game you got for me?" while clutching the Zapper Light Gun that Robert had purchased in Japan.
Astonished, Robert nodded quickly and said, "They've finally made it to Japan!"
His child also nodded, adding, "My friend has always been curious about the video games you brought."
Robert chuckled and promptly called his friend, urging him to head to the stores before they missed their chance, as the KiShin console was likely to become extremely popular.
With the attention of the rapidly growing community of video game enthusiasts in the USA, there was a real possibility that they'd once again have to endure long lines – a situation they preferred to avoid.
As expected, video game enthusiasts who were well aware of KiShin's background in Japan rushed to retail stores and malls to buy KiShin's products as quickly as possible.
Even small and large gangs with tenuous connections to various international criminal organizations, including the Yakuza, the Triad, and the Jopok, seized the opportunity to purchase KiShin consoles with the intention of later engaging in price gouging.
[In this fictional world, the Triad is a Chinese crime syndicate, and the Jopok is a South Korean crime syndicate. In this unique setting, these two syndicates, along with the Yakuza Syndicate in Japan, have clandestine dealings with each other. It's important to note that these connections exist solely within the context of this fiction and may not reflect reality in the real world.]
