Chapter 1 Rebirth
In the suite less than ten square meters, the most valuable thing should be the Yamaha brand acoustic guitar in the corner. Although due to excessive use, the panels are covered with fine scratches, which are clearly visible in the sun.
The sleeping pill bottle that fell on the ground was empty, and on the low table in the room, a suicide note written on a cigarette box was pressed under the BP machine: "Looking back on the past, there is really nothing worth mentioning."
Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, Ye Zhao saw a strange face: his eyebrows and eyes are refreshing, his nose is straight, delicate and masculine. Simply put, he is a handsome guy who can score 90 points. Unfortunately, he has seen his ordinary facial features in his previous life. Faced with the changes at this time, I really don’t know whether to be happy or sad.
Yes, Ye Zhao traveled through time, or was reborn. Just about thirty minutes ago, when he woke up from his coma, he found that he had inexplicably arrived at RB and became a 19-year-old boy.
The boy's name is also Ye Zhao, who is an authentic Chinese. After his ancestors immigrated to RB, they have been running a Chinese restaurant on China Street in Yokohama. Later, his father met his wife who was also Chinese during college. After the two got married, they gave up the Chinese restaurant that inherited the family. Now they both teach in private high schools in Yokohama.
When he was a teenager, Ye Zhao not only had excellent grades in school, but also played good guitar, and had a good appearance, which was a premier opportunity. However, this good fortune seemed to last until his 17 years old. In this year, he first failed the Waseda University entrance examination, and then went to Tokyo to repeat the tutoring school, but lost the tutoring fee because he fell in love with Brother Bai Qing, and then dropped out of school without authorization and joined an underground band called "Chapke".
His parents were half disappointed with him, half thought that they would repent when he fell, so they simply let him live alone in Tokyo, of course, while cutting off all his financial resources.
Leaving the jurisdiction of his parents, Ye Zhao began his dream pursuit. But he didn't know whether it was because of his lack of ability or bad luck. The band participated in several record company selections and failed and could only perform warm-up performances in Shinjuku's song and dance club. It was also here that he met Mika Ogawa, a drinker who was eight years older than him. Ye Zhao, who was young, soon fell in love, but Mika Ogawa only regarded him as a pastime outside of work.
After living together for a while, Mika Ogawa, who was bored with Ye Zhao, kicked him off without hesitation. Ye Zhao, who was hit one after another, completely collapsed after this incident and chose to use sleeping pills to end his short life.
Looking at this small apartment, although Mika Ogawa's things had been taken away after breaking up, it was not difficult to see the traces of their lives together. Although the open closet was in a mess, it was obviously empty. In addition to the posters of rock stars, there were also a few posters of GENJI on the walls, which were Mika Ogawa's favorite.
The only large appliance in the room is a 14-inch old color TV. Under the TV cabinet, there are some music scores and music CDs, the most of which are B’Z singles. The desk calendar on the table, the torn part stayed on May 18, 1994, and the BP machine displayed on May 20.
Putting the "authorized letter" into a ball and throwing it into the trash can, pressing his spasm of stomach, Ye Zhao came to the narrow kitchen where only one person turned around, and cleaned out about two handfuls of rice from the rice bag next to the rice cooker. In addition, he also found a small bag of rotten and black bean sprouts, a bag of beauty that had expired for two months. As for vegetables and meat, he really didn't think about it.
However, this is not because his predecessor's life is so poor that food and drink are problems. Although he lives tightly, he can still maintain basic food, clothing, housing and transportation. The main reason is that in addition to accompaniment at the club at night, he also has to work in a convenience store during the day. He really has little time at home, so all three meals are solved by bento or instant noodles.
Pour all the rice in the bag into the rice cooker. The rice is no longer cooked, so it is okay to cook some porridge. Although there are no side dishes at all, I have been hungry for two days and even the most ordinary white porridge is enjoying it. After replenishing the food, my weak body has some energy. Lying on the tatami, Ye Zhao also has the energy to think about the next path.
Ye Zhao was neither an elite in famous schools nor a talented workplace in his previous life. He was the owner of a video store specializing in second-hand CDs. The reason for his rebirth was not a car accident or a heart attack. He accidentally knocked down the shelf while taking stock of goods. He first fell off the ladder and injured his head, and then buried alive by the discs falling on the shelf.
It was acquired from all over the world, from the 1970s to the most recent 2017, and he was proud of tens of thousands of music and film and television CDs.
Thinking of his embarrassing time travel, Ye Zhao covered his face weakly. At this time, a needle-like pain suddenly came from his head, and the pain became deeper and deeper, making him unable to help but hug his head and curl up.
I don’t know how long it took, the pain finally subsided and the consciousness slowly returned. Ye Zhao was surprised to find that all the music and film and television dramas on the discs that buried him alive appeared in his mind at this moment!
RB in the 1990s was in the golden age of CD sales. In the most year, 28 singles were sold in just one million. Relying on the perfect copyright system, even if he only wrote a best-selling song, he could live a life of food and clothing without worries with the subsequent royalties. Now, Ye Zhao, who has music for more than 20 years, is like a priceless treasure mountain. As long as he is willing, even if he takes out one tenth of them, it will be enough for him to call the wind and rain in the Japanese entertainment industry and get everything he wants.
The band where they predecessors were mainly covers. Although they had five members, they could not write any decent songs. This is one of the reasons why they were always rejected by record companies. A band that could not be self-sufficient and needed to rely on external composers is difficult to make the record company look up to the top - unless they were idols in band skins, unfortunately their average appearance could not be as good as idols.
Now, as long as Ye Zhao takes out a few high-quality songs, he will not worry about the band not going up to the next level. As for why he didn’t just quit alone, it is mainly because the band members are all good in memory, and everyone has been together for more than a year. It is a bit unkind to abandon them at this time. Besides, even if he debuted as a band, he can still go solo in the future. Why bother to be independent at this time and leave a word that can be infinitely rendered.
Ye Zhao was thinking about it, and the BP machine on the table suddenly whirled. I haven't seen this kind of old antique for many years, and it feels a little fresh in my hand. When I came to the public telephone on the first floor, I called back according to the number above. After waiting for two sounds on the other end of the phone, I immediately picked up. A low voice asked, "Xiao Ye, why didn't I come yesterday?" Hearing the sound, it was the band's bassist Ri Watanabe.
Watanabe Riki is the organizer of the band. He also fell in love with Ye Zhao, who was performing in Ueno Park. He pulled him into the band. After that, he has been taking good care of him. He can be regarded as one of Ye Zhao's few friends in Tokyo.
Ye Zhao laughed dryly, "Something happened temporarily, I didn't have time to contact you." He couldn't say that he was dead yesterday.
Fortunately, Watanabe Riku didn't get into much trouble about this matter and directly pointed out the topic: "If you have nothing to do now, come to the club quickly. Yuta said that something needs to be announced." Yuta refers to the lead singer Yuta Kojima.
"What's up?"
"I don't know this either. He said he must say it in front of everyone."
