Chapter 234: Tokyo Game Show   "There isn't always a strict path to learning.

In other words, it doesn't mean graduating from middle and high school and then getting into college is the only way to secure a good job.

I naturally agree with that sentiment.

However, with the extreme economic downturn persisting, fewer students who graduate from high school are immediately jumping into the job market.

The Japanese government kept saying that the economy would recover if we just waited a bit longer, but it's been repeating for six years now...

The situation was becoming increasingly severe.

In the early '90s, some major and small companies went bankrupt due to debt collection, leading to numerous layoffs, yet there were no companies willing to take them in.

As a result, most of the unemployed ended up in temporary jobs and part-time work, and as income decreased, consumption naturally declined.

Meanwhile, companies that reduced their workforce wanted individuals who could immediately contribute to their operations with the skills and education necessary for the job.

This raised the bar for employment, and young people began knocking on the doors of universities for stable job opport "When one ember fades, another must ignite." --- December 1995, first weekend.

"Wowww!" A multitude gathered outside the Big Sight building in Odaiba, Japan.

This place, comprised of four pyramidal structures, boasted ten exhibition halls and a free observation deck, frequently serving as an international comprehensive exhibition center.

Amid the nervous anticipation before the event's opening, I momentarily stepped away from the Pentagon booth towards the 'Japanese Electronics Academy' booth.

"Teacher!" Compared to Pentagon or other companies, the booth assigned to the academy was minuscule.

However, the children seemed unaffected by it.

Interestingly placed adjacent to NEGA's booth, I attracted some cold glances from their side, but it didn't bother me.

"Are you ready?" Susuko, seated at her PC, responded with a thumbs-up and a bright smile.

"Don't worry." "Okay, then come by during the conference presentation." That's when it happened.

"Hah! Hyaaah! Haat! Uraaraa!" ...Wait, this isn't a fighting ring, and yet these shouts of martial arts without any boards...? Turning my head towards NEGA Saturn's booth, I spotted a man in a karate outfit practicing shouts on the stage.

"Whoa...

That person is..." "Wow! Amazing!" "Negata Sanshiro!" The model for the famous NEGA Saturn ad, born from a wordplay, had become the face of NEGA Saturn.

Not just because of his name...

He's also the protagonist of Japan's beloved tokusatsu show, Masked Rider 1.

"Even if NEGA lacks in business acumen, they must realize the importance of this Tokyo Game Show for them." The console wars ahead will be games, but marketing will hold significant importance...
