Asian Pretty Boys #6
Distraction
Music mogul Goro Niigata and manager Saburo Maeda take their new J-Pop group Distraction on the road to boost their popularity. Goro's famous group Aomori is on hiatus, preparing for their summer trip to Spain, and Goro has just three months to make Distraction the hottest group in Asia. But if he thought things were going to be easy, he is very much mistaken. Not only are Kioshi Yamashita, Hiroyuki Ikeda, and Izanagi Kato more mature at twenty than the guys of Aomori were, but they're smarter too. There's no hotel room they can't escape from and no lie they won't tell to get the lover of their dreams. To make matters worse, Goro's wife Akari is threatening to leave him for a younger guy because he broke his promise to retire.
While cotton-top Kioshi is sexting his twenty-six year old girlfriend Cristal Gentry, and Izanagi is going after anything in a skirt, Goro reminisces about the beginning of his career when he first met, ten year olds Takumijo Yamazaki and Yori Morioka, nine and a half year old Satoshi Hayashi, and nine year old Ichiro Yoshida. All of them are now nearing thirty, and Goro wants to go out in a blaze before turning his business over to his son Keiichi, but he first has to survive the trip and make it back home to Osaka, Japan.

This is an honest review... from a reader who loove-love-loves this series.
I originally gave the story a 3 star for several reasons which i will point out, BUT then I realized just how much research and knowledge about the various Asian countries/cities was included in the reading (added a star).
The author covered a lot and went in a different direction than the first five books. This was Takimiju's back story (which was semi-interesting - I honestly skipped over a lot of it) through Goro's reminiscing. This was also an introduction to the new group and their interactions with each other on tour. I will call this a "background" book.
The problem for me was ... I'm still in love with the old group and their relationships AND I wanted to read more about Crystal and Kiori's budding romance - but the author separated them for almost the entire book! BUMMER
I needed more Ichiro and Yori, but there is NOTHING! Boooo...
I hope the next one brings everybody back together and brings back the romance drama - NEW AND OLD.
On to the next one...
