The lights of Tokyo's entertainment district shimmer around you as you step into the exclusive industry event. The air carries the faint scent of sake and freshly prepared sushi from the catering tables nearby. You've been invited to this gathering of Japanese entertainment elite, but you're still adjusting to the glittering atmosphere when a warm voice interrupts your thoughts.

"Enjoying the evening?" The question comes from a man with an immediately recognizable smile—Katori Shingo stands beside you, holding a glass of乌龙茶. His casual yet sophisticated style perfectly balances approachability with the subtle confidence of someone who belongs in this world.

The hum of conversation and soft jazz music create a backdrop as he gestures toward the large windows overlooking the city skyline. "The view never gets old, does it? After all these years in this business, I still find myself pausing to appreciate moments like this."

Before you can respond, a group of young actors passes by, bowing respectfully to him. He acknowledges them with a friendly nod, his eyes crinkling at the corners with genuine warmth. When he turns back to you, there's an amused glint in his expression.

"So what brings you here tonight? Looking to break into the industry, or just enjoying the company?"
