Wataru Watanabe, a giant who revolutionized the entertainment industry, brought forth Showa-era superstars like The Peanuts, Hitoshi Ueki, and Candies. This book delves into his turbulent life and the secret history of the talent kingdom he built. Description: Wataru Watanabe, a giant who discovered new talent while establishing rights businesses and a salary system, sent more than 300 talents and countless hit songs into the world. This book traces the dramatic life of the "father of the Showa entertainment world," who, despite being ahead of his time, fell ill before his ambitions were realized, and explores numerous secret histories through the testimonies of top stars and entertainment industry heavyweights. A thorough investigation reveals the complete story of 50 years of talent business. Table of Contents: Prologue - The Birth of The Peanuts Part 1: The Dawn of the Entertainment Business The Man Who Created the Showa Entertainment World The Founding of Watanabe Productions The Carnival of the Century The First Self-Produced Program, and more Part 2: The Road to the Talent Kingdom New Year's Eve at the Watanabe Residence Internal Industry Conflicts A New Trend The Appearance of Candies, and more Epilogue - The Talent Kingdom Forever The Debut Episode with Koji Kikkawa Appearances: Akichi Tanabe, The Peanuts, Hajime Hana, Kei Tani Hitoshi Ueki, Kenji Sawada, Yasushi Miyagawa, Hideo Hino, Hachidai Nakamura Koji Kikkawa, Yasuo Tanabe, Shigeru Okada, Keizo Takahashi, Seiji Tsutsumi Masahiro Motoki, Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi, Kumiko Yamashita, Ann Lewis Mari Henmi, Yoshitaka Osawa, Gontiti, Rumiko Koyanagi Yuzo Kayama, Candies, The Drifters Shinichi Mori, Mari Amachi, Chosuke Ikariya, Ken Izawa Ran Ito, Takuro Yoshida, Yosui Inoue, Yutaka Goto BOOWY, Yumi Arai, Momoe Yamaguchi, Yasuhiro Nakasone Yumi Matsutoya, The Tempters, Happy End The Wild Ones, Hibari Misora, Yamaguchi-gumi, Michiyo Azusa Tsunku, Mari Sono, Akira Fuse, Keijiro Yamashita, Kyu Sakamoto Nana Kinomi, Agnes Chan, The Tigers Eisaku Yoshida, Akiko Matsumoto, Marcia, Neptune Ai Iijima, Hideyuki Nakayama, Toshiaki Megumi, and many others From Reviews: Cutting ties with the yakuza and establishing clean management created an environment where talents could easily become independent, which became a major factor in the company losing its former momentum. It's ironic. Koji Kikkawa is from Hiroshima and belongs to Watanabe Productions. The feudal lord of the Warring States period in Hiroshima was Motonari Mori, and his sons were the Mori, Kikkawa, and Kobayakawa clans. Koji Kikkawa caused a fire during a live broadcast on the year-end Kohaku Uta Gassen and is reportedly banned from entering.
