Woolf said in "A Room of Your Own" that "no need to be in a hurry, no need to be shining, no need to be someone else, just be yourself."

Maybe there was no such idea, but Hideki Natsume always felt that this sentence was just a guidance from the pioneer standing on the high steps and giving to the later generations a sense of superiority.

Be yourself? It’s simple! What is yourself?

Is it wrong to want to be the same "shining" focus as others like Yuka Yamada?

Natsume didn't think that this was not what Yamada thought himself? Besides, if you haven't experienced it personally, how can you say "It's not good to be someone else, I should be myself."

…

On stage

According to the prior plan, the light gradually dimmed. The special structure of the stage made it a little darker than other parts of the auditorium. The girl who was clearly visible before was completely disappeared at this time.

"Click!"

"Bang!"

The only beam of light shone from above and on the position where the girl was standing.

"Wow…!"

"etc…!"

"What a magic trick...?! So awesome!"

Just one opening, the audience in the audience inevitably made a slight "buzzing" sound.

Within a few seconds, the girl who was originally wearing a school uniform disappeared completely. Standing in front of the stage, she became a girl wearing a white dress, like a girl walking in the midsummer countryside. If the hat was not still there, the audience would even think that she had changed someone.

At the same time, the piano sounded along with the girl's singing.

"Hate that I am a coward"

"Your smile spreads deeply in my heart"

"Your back is trembling slightly"

"I can do nothing except watch silently..."

…

Like the gentle and healing wind, the audience on the stage gradually calmed down and began to listen carefully. The girl was like a narrator, gently telling her youthful love.

"The sound of the wind knocking on the window"

"It's so strong that it makes people unable to fall asleep"

“It’s really noisy”

"It must be an inner restlessness."

"I remember you"

"I obviously want to smile"

"But there is a soreness deep in the nose, with a little pain."

"I don't want to cry..."

…

After the person I like leaves me, I want to rely on the beautiful memories of the past to survive the sleepless night, but I find that the more I want to tell the beauty of the past, the sadder it is now.

…

Natsume Hideki in the background made gestures to the lighting control room. The lights dimmed again, and then the first chorus rang!

"Click!"

"Bang!"

Between dark and bright, the clothes on the girl's body changed again, gloves, shoes, and these things suddenly appeared on the girl like magic.

"Wow...this is too awesome..."

"What? What? What happened?"

“How did it do it…”

...The audience made a commotion again. The time between light and dark this time was much shorter than the first time! Even the audience who originally thought that the girl had changed had to admit that this was indeed an amazing "magic".

But Yuaka Yamada was not affected at all... she was still singing.

"I'm really unwilling to be a crybaby..."

…

"Run with all my strength, although I am now"

"Still not strong enough"

…

The beautiful melody that I have never heard of has attracted more and more audiences. Whether it is students of the same age or tourists, who dares to say that they are not at the age of "powerlessness" and have ever met someone who wants to be together?

They unconsciously put themselves in the perspective of "crying ghosts". Yes... What else can they do besides crying and making small but useless efforts...

…

The third chorus was played, and the same way was done. This time, the girl's clothes became more gorgeous.

At this time, many sensitive audiences immediately realized the meaning expressed by the lyrics and the change of the costume!

"So...that's what it means?"

"So attentive!"

…

"I'm really unwilling to be a crybaby..."

…

"Please look straight at me"

"Let me respond to yours"

"Strong and gentle eyes"

…

The crying emotions changed slightly.

Working hard is not in vain. It is changing itself. Small superpositions and tiny superpositions may not be able to see any changes at the beginning, but in the end these tiny changes have become visible to the naked eye.

…

The fourth time, the final chorus!

As the lights light up, the hat disappeared, and the girl's beautiful appearance was displayed on the stage for the first time, and in front of everyone for the first time. White evening dresses, white lace gloves... all kinds of gorgeous outfits make her look like a princess!

"I'm really unwilling to be a crybaby..."

"But, I'm getting stronger."

"So let yourself"

"Strong enough to protect you"

"So waiting for me..."

…

The girl's singing was finally no longer a gentle remark, but as if she was firmly pursuing her own beliefs. As the lyrics said, she finally became strong. Although it may not be enough for the time being, just have a little more time! There is a little more time!

…

…

"Click"

The singing gradually faded... With the last change of light and darkness, what appeared on Yamada Yuki was the first school uniform, just like nothing had changed, but the hat didn't come back.

…

…

…

After a brief silence, tsunami-like cheers came from the auditorium.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

“So good!!”

"I sang very well!! By the way, does anyone know the information about this girl?!"

"Which fellow fellow disciple can do this? Didn't you listen carefully before?"

"Does anyone know the name of this song?"
