old events in tokyo

Chapter 7
Kazuki Akiyama went to the phone booth outside the apartment and dialed Ishida Takumi's pager, hung up and waited for a while.The phone rang, and Kazuki Akiyama picked up the receiver.

"You guys finally remembered to call me back? Did you forget that we have something planned to do today?"

Before Kazuki Akiyama opened his mouth, he heard Ishida Takumi complaining on the phone. This guy is not afraid that this kind of public phone call is caused by someone else, and calling a stranger "you guy" is very rude.

Kazuki Akiyama replied helplessly, "Why, I slept a little late yesterday and got up late in the morning. Now I'm ready, but it's already noon. Let's go eat something first, and I'll treat you."

Hearing what Kazuki Akiyama said, Ishida Takumi didn't bother him anymore, so the two agreed on a place to go to have lunch first.

After lunch, it was already around one o'clock in the afternoon. Although it is June and it is the beginning of summer in Tokyo, the temperature is not very high or even exceeds 30°C, and the average temperature is only about 26°C.

For the place where Kazuki Akiyama lived in his previous life, the summer heat was often approaching 40°C, and this temperature is simply the temperature only in autumn when the air is crisp.So I directly decided to go to Shibuya immediately to implement my own street performance project.

Busking in RB actually requires a license, but most people these days are guerrilla fighters, after all, many people are just interested in earning tips occasionally.

Unless those are the breadwinners, they have their own stand and even sell some homemade CDs.

As for Kazuki Akiyama, do you still have to ask?Of course, they entered the village quietly, not those who shot.

Besides, the economy is in a recession now, and there are so many homeless and drunkards on the street. How can the police have the time to keep an eye on you as a singer. As long as you don't cause trouble, most of the police will turn a blind eye.

Because it was Saturday, when the two arrived on the streets of Shibuya, groups of young people were already everywhere.Such a large flow of people has also attracted many colleagues to gather here.At this time, there are already a few sporadic places performing.

Akiyama Kazuki and Ishida Takumi didn't bother to wander around, so they found a relatively spacious place. Looking at the flow of people on the street, they couldn't help but think of the scene of Harasamisha's death.

Akiyama Kazuki turned his head to look at Ishida Takumi, but Ishida Takumi was also looking at him. The two of them tacitly did not speak, turned their heads and tuned the strings, and started singing directly.

jun no shoulder ni sad shi mi ga
on that night

雪のように产もる夜には

Sadness piles up like snowflakes on your shoulders

Who もが咱いてる(I'm crying for you)
Everybody's crying, I'm crying for you

涙を人には见せずに(You're crying for him)
Don't let anyone see the tears, you cry for him

Whoもが爱する人の前を(He's crying for her)
People are in front of lover and he cries for her
This is the single "Sorrow Like Snow" released by Shogo Hamada in February this year, and it is also the theme song of the TV series "In the Name of Sadness".So many people have listened to it, and the single CD is also selling like a hit. It is said that there is a high probability that it will exceed one million this year.

For street singing, of course, we first choose songs familiar to the public to attract people. Kazuki Akiyama’s voice is already mellow and clear, and it complements this song perfectly. The singing is very affectionate and sad.

It didn't take long to attract crowds in twos and threes, and their pair of singers also looked very "different" among their singing counterparts, not because they were wearing fancy clothes, but because they were wearing too simple clothes.

Kazuki Akiyama is a white shirt with light gray slacks and a pair of white shoes.It's just that Kazuki Akiyama is 178 naked and close to 180 with shoes on. In this era, RB is still quite prominent.

Ishida Takumi next to him is also dressed similarly.Two clean and clean young people are holding an acoustic guitar, one is the lead vocalist, and the other is singing in rhythm.

Look at the fellow singers in several other places, all of them either have colorfully dyed hair, wear fancy clothes, or are equipped with electronic musical instruments, trying to attract the crowd by their own means.

Comparing the two phases, Kazuki Akiyama seems to be a different place. At the end of the song, many people came forward and threw coins into the piano box.

The two looked at each other excitedly. Compared with the last time they ran away, this time can be said to be a huge victory.So I took the opportunity to sing a few popular songs that are currently popular.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, both of them stopped for a while. Singing for a long time puts a heavy burden on the throat.

So Kazuki Akiyama stopped and drank some mineral water to moisten his throat, and then prepared to sing the last song of the day, which was also the first song "Thank you" inspired by the dream.

Kazuki Akiyama plucked the strings and spoke slowly:
なまぬるい风に

wind, bitter

blow kare na gara
blowing homesick me
そんな事を考える

now sincerely

Ima heart からありがとう

Say hello to you, thank you

Kazuki Akiyama and Takumi Ishida put down their guitars after singing the last song, bowed to the crowd, and the crowd dispersed slowly.

At this time, a girl with short hair came forward, different from many kawaii girls in RB, her face, eyebrows and eyes were rare heroic, plus the slightly curled hair tip, the whole person Looks heroic.

"Excuse me, both of you. Is the last song you just sang a new song written by yourself? I don't think you've heard it before. It's really good. Ah, I forgot to introduce my name as Dahei Moji." After Dahei said Moji bowed again.

Akiyama Kazuki also bowed in return, but he hadn't come to answer in a hurry.Ishida Takumi who was on the side spoke first.

"Hey, is it Moji Daikoku who sings the theme song of the TV series "Female Event Reporter Lihua Keiko"?"

"Eh? Have you heard of it? It's unbelievable!" Daikoku Moji was both surprised and excited when he heard Ishida Takumi's words.

Because the theme song "Stop Motion" of "Female Event Reporter Lihua Guizi" is Daikoku Moji's debut song. It was just released in May this year. Although the sales volume is not very good, it is her first debut single after all.

And the strange young man she met now is the first passer-by she knows who has heard her name, the first passer-by who has heard her debut single, maybe she is her fan, Dahei Moji thought so excitedly .

"I have watched this TV series, and I was deeply impressed by the theme song. Dahei Sang's singing skills are really amazing!"

This is not Ishida Takumi's flattery, he really admires Daikoku Moji's singing skills, that's why he was deeply impressed by the theme song and remembered the name Daikoku Moji.

"It's really great. I didn't expect to meet an unexpected surprise today." For Daikoku Moji, it was a surprise to receive the first person who recognized her singing today, because she had been waiting for a day for too long .

"By the way, did the two of you write the song you sang just now?" Thinking of his own questions at the beginning, Daikoku Moji asked again.

Only then did the two realize that they hadn't introduced themselves yet, and that Daikoku Moji, as a singer who had already debuted, Akiyama Kazuki himself planned to hang out in this circle in the future.

It can be said that Daikoku Moji is an out-and-out senior, and he is undoubtedly a junior.The two bowed and introduced themselves politely.

When Dakoku Moji heard that this song was composed by Kazuki Akiyama himself, she immediately took another look at Kazuki Akiyama. She admired this young man with a very distinctive voice, but now she knows that he is still a creative type. The singer is not stingy with his appreciation.

RB respects and has good intentions for people with creative talents, so many singers will find ways to write their own lyrics even if they cannot compose their own songs, not only because of the extra share, but also because singer-songwriters are more likely to be respected by people .

"Akiyama-kun, I personally like this song very much. It reminds me of my parents in Hokkaido. Have you ever thought about debuting and releasing your own single CD?" Daikoku Moji admired Kazuki Akiyama very much, so he asked curiously said a word.

Kazuki Akiyama was a little embarrassed about this, but he still told the truth about his situation. Because he couldn't find a performance venue, he could only come to Shibuya Shopping Street to sing, hoping to accumulate popularity or get the attention of some agency scouts.He also mentioned that he had sent demos to companies including Being.

Dahei Moji's management contract and record contract were signed with Being, and he immediately said that he would help inquire when he returned to the company.

Although Dahei Moji is a newcomer who just debuted this year, she joined Being in 1989 and has been working as a harmony singer in Being before, so she has a good relationship with many artists under Being, and her social circle is also very extensive. A lot of people inside and outside the circle.

Kazuki Akiyama was very excited when he heard Daikoku-san's words, and hurriedly bowed, "Daguro-san, thank you so much, I won't trouble you too much."

Daikoku Moji shook his head and said it was okay, but Akiyama Kazuki was grateful to Daikoku Moji.

Don't underestimate this seemingly polite sentence. If Daikoku Moji really asks for Kazuki Akiyama when he turns around, maybe the demo that had been lost in the sea will reappear on the desk of the audition staff or even the higher-level staff-san .

Daikoku Moji also said that she knows some live house owners and will help to ask if they need an opening singer. She is quite optimistic about Kazuki Akiyama. If he continues on the road of music, he may have a place in the music scene in the future. .

Akiyama Kazuki and Ishida Takumi once again expressed their gratitude to Daikoku Moji. Originally, Akiyama Kazuki wanted to invite Daikoku Maji to dinner to express his gratitude. Only after Ishida Takumi’s reminder did he know that RB is only for seniors to invite juniors to dinner, and juniors cannot invite seniors casually for dinner.

Daikoku Moji said that he didn't mind and declined Kazuki Akiyama's kindness. She still has work arrangements at night.Shuangfang exchanged contact information, and Dahei Moji left in a hurry.

Looking at the back of Daikoku Maji leaving, Akiyama Kazuki sighed to Ishida Takumi, "This Daikoku-san really takes care of the younger generation, and he is a senior with a very good personality."

"Yes, Kazuki-kun, Daiguro-san's singing skills are quite good, I believe she will surprise people in the near future." Ishida Takumi praised.

"Really?" Kazuki Akiyama had never heard of Daikoku Maji's debut single, but just now Ishida Takumi said that Daikoku Maji's singing skills are great, and Akiyama Kazuki thought it was Ishida Takumi's polite social words.

"Kazuki-kun, if you want to become a professional singer, then listening to the songs of other artists who are also singers is an essential homework, not only for social needs, but also important reference information for understanding the current music trend.

Even as a singer-songwriter, he cannot exist independently of the public, as that would lose the meaning of the music itself, and listeners and fans can also be the soil for a singer-songwriter to draw nourishment from. "

Hearing Ishida Takumi's seemingly admonishing words, Akiyama Kazuki also became serious and nodded to show that he was educated.In fact, Ishida Takumi also hopes that Akiyama Kazuki can go further, and Akiyama Kazuki can naturally feel it.

"Also, have you forgotten the etiquette of your seniors, especially in the entertainment industry, every word and deed will be magnified, and if you are not careful, you will offend your seniors and colleagues, and if you are photographed by paparazzi, you will become a black history and a soldier Sit down." Ishida Takumi couldn't help complaining again.

"Ha ~ Yi ~"
