Chapter 15 The Imprisoned

Shinjuku at night is both heaven and hell.

It is said that it is a paradise because the rich nightlife here makes people linger. It is said that it is hell because it is filthy and filthy in invisible corners. At the same time, a large number of adult scouts gathered in Shinjuku. I don’t know how many ignorant girls mistakenly entered the tiger’s mouth and fell into the dark world since then.

The most famous place in Shinjuku is probably Dichome. The reason why Dichome is famous is because there are a large number of GAY bars gathering there, which is a gathering place for famous comrades in the world. Having said that, there are about 200-300 bars here, so there are also many that are aimed at ordinary people.

Walking alone in Shinjuku II-chome at night, Ye Zhao felt a little scared, for fear that a burly man suddenly jumped out of the alley and knocked him out with a stick. When he woke up the next day, an indescribable pain came from somewhere in his body.

Taking a deep breath, just about to comfort myself, suddenly, a "girl" wearing a red dress with a long black and straight black look, and the "girl" threw a charming look at Ye Zhao, "Handsome guy, do you want to have a drink?" Although he deliberately pinched his throat and his behavior was very feminine, it was clearly...

Ye Zhao shivered and ran away.

Panting, he pushed open the bar door and sat at the bar counter looking at Ye Zhao's embarrassed look, gloating: "Has you been called?"

Ye Zhao rolled his eyes, "If I hadn't known that you had a girlfriend who had been dating for many years, I would have doubted the purpose of your appointment to meet in Shinjuku II-chome in the middle of the night."

"Go to you!" Watanabe Riki cursed with a smile.

This small bar called Caseka has only a narrow storefront. Apart from a short bar, there are two small tables, which can accommodate at most about ten people. In the bar street, even if your face looks a little tender, it is not a problem to have a drink here.

Ye Zhao ordered a glass of Qinfeishi. While waiting for the cocktail, he asked, "What are Brother Watanabe doing recently?"

"There is a club in Roppongi, where I play bass now. Although I have thought about forming another band, I don't feel very good after interviewing a few young people. Now, although there are many people playing bands, the level of musicians is also mixed." After saying that, Ruo Watanabe asked, "Where are you?"

"I started singing in the shopping street in Shibuya and recently I plan to release an underground single at my own expense."

"I'll pay for the underground single at your own expense? Okay, have you won the lottery?" Ruo Watanabe teased.

"It's almost the same." Ye Zhao smiled and said seriously, "Because I don't have a good budget, I refused to provide accompaniment and arrangements from the record company, so I want Brother Watanabe to help find a few cheaper musicians."

Raku Watanabe did not agree immediately, but asked, "What single do you want to make? Do you want to cover it or buy a song?"

Ye Zhao hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "It's my original work."

After hearing that it was Ye Zhao's original work, Watanabe Lu frowned and said politely: "It's not a small amount of money to make a single at your own expense. Do you... don't think about it anymore?"

After a little thought, Ye Zhao understood why he had such a reaction. Although his predecessor had remarkable guitar skills, he had never written any decent songs. If he spent millions of dollars to produce a song that could only be used to entertain himself, the consequence would be that he would lose all his money. For such an unrealistic thing, Watanabe Lu could still persuade him tactfully instead of pouring cold water directly to give face.

It’s no point to talk, and if you want to convince Watanabe Lu, you have to show your skills. Thinking of this, Ye Zhao said, “Let’s do this, Watanabe, I’ll let you listen to my song. After listening, you will decide whether to help.”

"Okay." Watanabe Riki nodded.

After leaving the bar, I took the silver second-hand Toyota Kami, Watanabe Rik. About ten minutes later, the two of them came to the Jilaf Club, which they had performed on site. The reason why they didn't choose to go back to the apartment was because the time was now more than 10:30 in the evening. At this time, playing the piano and singing in the apartment was a complete disturbance.

Watanabe Ruo has been in the underground music circle in Tokyo for four or five years. Although his music career has not improved much, he is a bit famous in this circle. Therefore, even though they have left the club, they suddenly come to the door to borrow the lounge in the backstage, but the boss did not refuse.

It was called a lounge, but it was just a long grocery room with only seven or eight square meters. There were a few spare guitars in the club hanging on the wall. Ye Zhao took off a wood-colored Yipufeng brand electric box guitar and debugged the strings. "Then, I'll start singing."

Of course, there is no doubt about the charm of "Summer Color". When Ye Zhao started singing, Watanabe Riku, who was originally a little careless, turned his expression seriously as the song unfolded, until he became more and more surprised.

After the last syllable ended, Watanabe Riki raised his hand and was about to applaud, but Ye Zhao's right hand plucked the strings again, and another melody resounded in this small room.

In RB, in addition to the title song, a single usually contains one or two songs called C/W (Couple With). Of course, not 100% singles are available. Just buying two songs at 1,000 yen is more valuable than buying one, and it will also promote sales to some extent. In the selection of this C/W song, Ye Zhao finally decided to "Secret Base" that he sang at the selection meeting that day. There was no special reason for choosing this song, simply because since he planned to make a best-selling single, he naturally had to choose the best-selling song and stuff it in. The melody of this song was catchy and fit the theme of the entire single, so it naturally became the C/W song of the single.

Whether it is "Summer Color" or "Secret Base", they are all famous songs. It is natural to show two such excellent songs in one go, which brings the shock to Watanabe Riku.

After Ye Zhao finished singing, Watanabe Riki hesitated for a moment and asked, "You wrote these two songs?"

"Brother Watanabe, with the quality of these two songs, it's okay to release an underground single, right?" Ye Zhao asked without answering.

"It's not just that, you can just take one of these two songs, even if you give them to popular singers, it's enough to be the title song. Xiao Ye, I didn't expect you to have such talent."

Looking at Watanabe Lu with a wry smile, Ye Zhao said, "Brother Watanabe, I actually wanted to bring my original song to everyone on the day the band was disbanded." Although the band had nothing to do with Ye Zhao, he still didn't want Watanabe Lu to treat him as an ungrateful wolf who planned to eat alone. After all, at the beginning, his plan was indeed to fight with everyone.

"You don't need to explain, I believe you." Ruo Watanabe sighed, "The band may really not have that fate. I will look for you as a musician. Also, it costs a lot of underground singles, so your living expenses are fine? If not enough, just get it from me."

"It doesn't have to be true. Brother Watanabe, I actually won the NTT DOCOMO draft championship not long ago, and used the bonus of one million yen to make the single distribution fee, so my life has no impact."
