Chapter 242 What should be sung or what should be sung
Midway through supper, Miss Imai left the seat once. After a while, she returned, holding the things Sakai Izumizu had just bought in her arms.
"Miss Sakai, I brought it."
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Imai." Sakai Izumi nodded.
Because Sakai Izumizu had to go to the recording studio to continue working, after dinner, they said goodbye outside the store. Before leaving, Sakai Izumizu handed the box to Ye Zhao, "Please accept it, Ye Jun."
"Did you give it to me?" Although he had vaguely guessed when she asked Miss Imai to get it back before, it was just a guess, and it was different from really handing it over to him.
"Yes." Sakai Izumi nodded slightly and looked at him, "Although it's a little late, please accept it as a housewarming gift for moving."
"Then... I'll accept it without hesitation?" Ye Zhao said, taking the "mysterious gift" given by Sakai Izumizu. The word "mysterious" is not pretentious, but it is true that he did not see the true face inside.
Saying goodbye to Sakai Izumi and Miss Imai, Ye Zhao took a taxi back home. He put the gifts given to Watanabe and his wife aside. He couldn't wait to open the box and what appeared in front of him... was a group of wine glasses.
Ye Zhao gently picked up one of them, pinched the handle and looked at it carefully. The transparent glass body shone with a beautiful light, which immediately reminded him of the "high theory" he said to Sakai Izumizu that night that he joked about drinking wine.
Thinking of the various conversations that happened at that time, Ye Zhao smiled, put the cup back into the box, carried the box into the kitchen, took it out one by one, washed it, wiped off the remaining water droplets, and carefully put it away. When he put it in the cabinet, his attention was attracted by something else.
After putting the cup away, he reached out and picked up the thing that attracted his attention just now. It was the glass that Sakai Izumizu burned it with his own hands and gave it to him as a gift when he arrived at Shirahama Kobata.
Putting it with the expensive wine glasses in the boutique store immediately made this poorly-made work look pale, but when holding it, Ye Zhao still felt that this glass was more precious than any exquisite cup.
It was also at this moment that a slightly incredible thought arose in his mind.
That is, Sakai Insulin is slowly but powerfully seeping into his life in a unique way. He has no way to remove the parts that have already penetrated into his life. Not only that, he also wants to open his mind and accept more.
Ye Zhao held the rough glass tightly, took out the beer from the refrigerator, opened the pull ring, and slowly poured it into the cup, and took several large sips in succession.
...
On the afternoon of December 20, Ye Zhao took the Shinkansen alone and headed from Tokyo to Kyoto.
Watanabe Rik had already been waiting in the waiting room. After picking him up, they did not go to the club directly, but went back to their homes first.
Asakura Naoko greeted Ye Zhao in the entrance hall. She was wearing a loose sweater. If she didn't look carefully, she would only think that she had suddenly gained weight, not being pregnant.
Ye Zhao handed the gift to Asakura Naoko, "Happy wedding, Miss Naoko. I think if it was Brother Watanabe and Miss Naoko, there should be nothing left, so I bought a pair of champagne glasses for the two. After the baby is born, please use this cup to celebrate."
"Thank you, thank you so much." Asakura Naoko took the gift box, "Can you open it now to see it?"
"Of course, please."
"Then I'm not polite." Asakura Naoko said, unbuttoned the ribbon tied on the gift box, held the sides of the box with both hands, and when she opened it, she let out a happy "ah", pinched the handle of one of them, and took it out to show it to Watanabe Riki: "This is really beautiful!" and thanked Ye Zhao again: "It's really trouble you, Ye Jun."
"It's good if Miss Naoko can like it." Ye Zhao smiled.
After a dinner at 7:30 pm, Watanabe Rik drives, along with Ye Showa and Asakura Naoko, the three of them move towards his club.
The wedding, which is only open to family and friends, was held yesterday on the 19th. Tonight, friends from Watanabe Ruo in the Kyoto underground music circle spontaneously held a small congratulations to celebrate the couple's newlyweds. It is not open to the audience. The people participating in the underground musicians in this area have a good relationship with him.
"There are also bands that came to support the show from Osaka tonight," said Watanabe Riku. "When they were toured in Kansai, they had been here for about a week. After knowing about this congratulations, they conveyed their desire to come and congratulate through their mutual friends."
"Brother Watanabe is so popular." Ye Zhao sighed, "It was also in Tokyo at that time. Anyone who has worked with Brother Watanabe thinks you are very reliable and want to be friends with you."
"It's a little disgusting to praise people so suddenly." Watanabe Lu said with a smile.
Ye Zhao pretended to be innocent, "I'm very serious."
The two of them started to fight each other one by one, and Naoko Asakura, who was sitting in the back row, smiled and became a spectator.
When I came to the club and actually saw the band "come from Osaka to support me", I looked at the band's lead singer and an inexplicable sense of familiarity came to me.
The name of this band is "Fourteen Talents". The lead singer's height and face are very compatible with the name "Fourteen Years". She looks like a fourteen-year-old girl, but in fact, she is the same age as Ye Zhao, and she is both twenty years old this year.
It was not until Ru Watanabe greeted her and said, "Miss Yanai, thank you for coming", that Ye Zhao met this little girl with a baby-faced lead singer with a character in her memory: Aiko Yanai, or, in other words, her other name, AIKO, is more well-known.
Speaking of AIKO, people who often listen to Japanese songs should know this name. In 1998, she debuted in the same year as many legendary singers such as Hamasaki Ayumi, Utada Hikaru, Shiina Rinna, MISIA, etc. This year can be said to be the starting point of the singer's era and is also a legendary year.
Before his official debut, AIKO had been conducting music activities based on Kansai and formed a band during this period. Knowing the general situation, Ye Zhao was not so surprised that she appeared here. At most, she would only be surprised. By the way, she sighed that the circle of underground musicians was not big, and Watanabe Riki was really "star-attracting". The brilliant green was staying here before, and now AIKO, the old-fashioned singer (although she is still very young now) came to sing.
Speaking of the brilliant green, this band formed by Watanabe's juniors naturally appeared here without any surprise today. During the chat, Ye Zhao also learned that although AIKO is still singing in the underground music circle, in fact, she is almost the same as the brilliant green. Both have "famous flowers have their masters" and have signed a record company, but the official mainstream debut has not yet arrived.
Speaking of this, we will return to the unchanging topic.
Record company scouts are all over the country, from music schools to singing clubs, to parks and streets where street artists are infested, looking for plastic talents like a net. Even in places where scouts cannot see, singers and bands who yearn for mainstream debut will perseverely send out their test sings and wait for their "bole" to come.
With the recommendation of Watanabe Lu, Ye Zhao greeted each other with the people who came to attend the congratulations. Although he only met the members of the Brilliant Green and the singers who were resident in Watanabe Lu’s club, everyone greeted him very friendly, whether they knew each other or not.
Afterwards, led by one of the men who looked very stable and of the same age as Watanabe, everyone shouted in unison: "Happy wedding!" While shouting blessings, hand-pulled salutes also sounded one after another.
This celebration for the Riku Watanabe and his wife also announced the beginning.
Since it was a gathering of musicians, the content was naturally very simple, which revolved around the two words "music". The first person to perform on stage was Watanabe Riku. At the instigation of everyone, he stood on the stage and sang the song "いとしのエリー" by the stars in the South Sky.
When Kasuke Kurada married his wife Hamayuko, he changed the lyrics "Dear Ellie" to "Dear Yuko". This time, Lu Watanabe also imitated Kasuke Kurada and changed the lyrics to "Dear Naoko".
After the song ended, everyone cheered. In addition to being full of happiness, Naoko Asakura, who was sitting in the audience, was also a little shy of being expressed in public.
Watanabe Lu took the lead, and then the musicians present appeared one after another. After listening to three songs in a row, Ye Zhao realized that all the songs that everyone sang today seemed to be original songs. Ye Zhao went to see Watanabe Lu, and even Watanabe Lu himself looked puzzled. It was not until he whispered with the people sitting next to him that he realized that the musicians who came to celebrate, without telling him that they had such a surprise: to create a song specifically for his wedding.
"It's bad now," Ye Zhao said to Watanabe Lu half-jokingly, "I'm not prepared for anything."
Watanabe Riki apologized, "This, I don't know this will happen..." After thinking, "Or, don't sing in the future, play the bass with me? Last time I went here to shoot the MV, I wanted to try your bass level, this time just right."
"Thank you, Brother Watanabe." Ye Zhao smiled, "Of course, you must play the bass, but you still have to sing the song."
“Eh?”
"Since I'm here to attend Brother Watanabe's wedding celebration, how could I be prepared for nothing?" Ye Zhao looked confident. "As soon as he received the wedding invitation, he was already preparing a wedding song for both of them."
