The two of them took out their cigarettes together, clicked and lit the fire, and each smoked one.

"Doesn't it matter?" Iwahashi asked before he was a little more cautious.

Mi Guang shook his head, unimpressed, "It's okay." ”

After receiving such an answer, Iwahashi Shinichi started a fire.

There is a four-and-a-half-sized room behind the musical instrument shop, with a Western-style arrangement, and Miko asks Iwahashi Shinichi to go over and sit down. The door of the room was open, and Mi Guang chose a chair facing the door and sat down, and the movement outside was clear at a glance.

"President Iwahashi. Mi Guang recalls the old words.

Her name is Asami Yonemitsu, and she is the same age as Shin Iwahashi. He began to study piano at the age of four and classical composition techniques at the age of five, and worked hard to become a classical musician, and was able to compose music by himself at the age of six. In junior high school and high school, I attended a prestigious music school, and when I was in college, I was admitted to the composition department of the National University of Music to study orthodox classical music.

A pretty good resume.

Compared with Mei and sauce, who are born with divine power but don't understand martial arts, and rely on hard and brute force, Miguang Asami is a famous and decent senior sister.

As a result, this orthodox senior sister, after entering the university, went to the side, composing homework, and the compositions she created often deviated from the classical rules, making something that was not like the four, and she sat firmly in the penultimate place in the whole department all the year round.

The old elder sister of a famous and decent family, finally left the sect and returned to her hometown in Fukuoka.

"I've been studying classical music since I was a child, and when I was in middle school, I was able to walk and eat, and even sleep with melodies. At that time, I thought that when I went to Tokyo, I would be on the right path to becoming a classical musician. ”

Miko Asami blinked, as if she had been smoked by a cigarette, and laughed at herself, "I didn't know what to do when I went to Tokyo." ”

At the age of twenty-three, he has been working for the same goal for nineteen years of his life.

As a result, he was suddenly denied, "it is impossible to be a composer", and he couldn't find a way to get back on track, and his goals and efforts over the past 19 years seemed to be coming to naught. That kind of frustration is difficult for outsiders to imagine.

You have to deal with the confusion of losing your goal and the disappointment of your dreams coming to naught.

and the expectations of relatives, friends and teachers in the past 19 years.

The identity of the president of Shinichi Iwahashi Records made Mihiro Asami relax her vigilance against him.

And in a sense, talking about herself in such detail to someone who meets for the first time and maybe only sees this side shows how much pressure she has in her heart.

"What are you going to do next?" asked Iwahashi.

After 19 years of hard work, I didn't really want to be a clerk in a musical instrument shop or a piano teacher.

"Intended?"

Asami Mimitsu pinched the filter of her cigarette, rolled around in the ashtray, extinguished the cigarette, and blinked again.

"I haven't thought about it yet. She shook her head.

"Do you still want to do something related to music?"

When Shinichi Iwahashi asked, Miko Asami laughed, "President Iwahashi won't say next, 'Mimitsu-san, please think about my company'...... Right?"

If you don't talk to her, you don't know, this Miko Asami is outgoing and scary. Not only extroverted, but also proud. It's true that I'm staying in a musical instrument shop now, and it's not false that I used to be a famous and decent master sister.

It feels like the kind of person who can run in front of A-list stars and say, "You still have a lot to learn!".

As for whether you can rely on this arrogance and reckless momentum to achieve the achievement of "woman, you have attracted my attention", it depends on the temperament and character of the first-line star she instructs.

The senior sisters have the pride of the senior sisters.

As a result, Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "It's a pity to only come to me to play the piano." ”

Miguang Asami was originally careless, but when she heard this "pity", her heart moved, and her eyes changed when she saw Iwahashi Shinichi. Depressed and confused, but unwilling to be at such a stage, this "pity" is also an affirmation.

Affirming her value is more than just playing the piano.

Even if she doesn't become a composer, with her level, it is not a problem to work as a piano teacher in Tokyo and submit a resume to a record company. Going back to Fukuoka's hometown to work as a clerk in a musical instrument shop is actually a manifestation of unwillingness.

Only by doing a temporary job and refusing stability can you retain the power to change later.

In Miguang Asami's view, if she has a stable job now, it will be a betrayal of her dreams and goals. She hasn't completely given up on her dream of being a composer.

"Do you really think so?" asked Asami Miko, breaking the casserole.

To be honest, this personality is not very cute. However, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't mind, "I really think so. He recalled the song he had just heard, "Is Miguang-san still going to be a composer?"

"I want to be. This time, she didn't joke and answered seriously.

Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "What if you don't do classical music, for example, pop music composition or something." ”

"Writing pop music?" Miko Asami heard an idea she had never imagined.

Iwahashi nodded, "I was thinking that since I always deviate from the rules of classical music when composing, I should have corrected it quite a few times, to be honest. ”

Miko Asami took another cigarette from the cigarette case, clicked the fire, and listened carefully.

"Since it can't be corrected, it's better to just let it go. On the premise of not considering the rules, you are more free to write the songs you want to write. ”

"Unlike classical music, pop music is much freer. Even if you use classical techniques, no pop music composer will come forward and say, 'That's not right.'" As long as you can write it, the music is good. ”

It's like the street idol Akiko Matsumoto who shines after transforming to be funny.

Iwahashi Shinichi always believed that since he had talent, then, when this road didn't work, he would walk to the side.

"......" Miguang Asami didn't reply.

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't think it was strange, after all, the chain of contempt in the music world was real. Letting her change careers to write pop music is not a kind of self-defeating.

He stumbled into this musical instrument shop, and after hearing this old story, he didn't think to point fingers at Miko Asami, but when he said it in a hurry, he mentioned a possibility.

As for how she chooses and how to do it, she will continue to walk on the road of classical music to the end, exploring her way of composing. Or change careers, or even give up music altogether, it's all Yamihiro Asami's own business.

If I really want to talk about it, the reason why I said this to Yomihiro Asami is more or less because when Shinichi Iwahashi listened to her talk about her mental journey, he remembered the frustration of being forced to accept the fact that he had only a moderate talent.

Although if you really want to talk about it, his frustration is not half as good as that of Asami Miko. After all, he didn't spend most of his life in exchange for a "no talent" evaluation.

However, this medium talent in music did not make him go far on the road to becoming a musician, but it made him go on the road he is on and do well.

It's annoying to talk too much. Iwahashi was cautious and didn't say anything else.

At this time, another customer came in the store. Miko Asami got up and went out, and after a while, she mentioned her voice greeting guests, "Welcome!"

The sound was full of energy.

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't want to stay long, so he left the store like an ordinary customer who didn't see anything he wanted after entering the store.

Asami Yonemitsu was talking to the customer who had just entered, and when he saw Shinichi Iwahashi walking out of the store, his eyes paused on his back for a moment, and he immediately riveted his efforts to introduce the customer.

The guests were sent off, and the musical instrument shop fell silent again.

Miko Asami remembered that the business card that President Iwahashi gave him just now was still on her body, took it out of the pocket of her apron, looked at it, and put it away again.

Try composing for pop music?

Miko Asami was in her heart, thinking back to the advice given by President Iwahashi. First there was resistance, and then there was a momentary heartbeat.

However, after 19 years of devoting herself to classical music, she has no idea about the charm of pop music.

......

Shinichi Iwahashi left the musical instrument store and continued to wander around, buying a gift for Akina Nakamori. On a whim, I didn't plan to take it back to Tokyo and give it to her, but I packed the gift and sent it back to Tokyo from Fukuoka.

After tossing and turning like this, it's not too early to get things done. Shinichi Iwahashi continued to have lunch alone outside, and then went back to the hotel to wait for today's performance.

Miwa-chan didn't go anywhere today, she honestly nested in her room to rest, and the high-intensity concert finally made this little fox with its own energy ring temporarily settle down.

There are only fans, yesterday she went out to play and was surrounded by a group, and after the news spread, many fans went to Tianshen today, looking forward to meeting the female star. Hope seems to have been dashed.

I went back to my room, and after a while, the phone rang.

Iwahashi Shinichi picked up the earpiece, and it was a call from the clerk of the record company who had followed him to Fukuoka.

"You're back, Iwahashi-san. ”

The clerk told Shinichi Iwahashi that the identity of the advertising model at the Fukuoka Central Bank had been clarified. Putting down the phone, Shin'ichi Iwahashi went over and opened the door, waiting for the clerk to come.

"My real name is Ayumi Hamasaki. ”

The clerk got straight to the point and reported, "However, when I was active as a model, I used the stage name 'Hamasaki Kuroto'. ”

"くるみ?" Iwahashi Shinichi repeated "Kurumo".

It's a cute stage name.

After a moment of thought, Iwahashi Shin's heart swelled with emotion.

The clerk handed over the book in his hand, "In addition to being an advertising model for the Fukuoka Central Bank, Hamasaki Kurumo also works as a model for Iwataya, a long-established department store in Fukuoka. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi had just been to Iwataya in the morning to buy a gift for his girlfriend.

He took the book and glanced at the cover, which was an order book from Iwataya. When I flipped through it, the page opened on the bookmarked page, and on it were Ayumi Hamasaki and Kuruma Hamasaki, who were dressed fashionably and with a foreign style.

Compared to the billboard, Ayumi Hamasaki, who has been carefully dressed in the order book, looks more delicate and beautiful.

"I inquired, Hamasaki Kutao did not sign with the firm, and her agent was her mother. The clerk continued, "Don't look at her only 11 years old, when she was in the first grade of elementary school, she was already working as a children's clothing model for Iwataya. ”

"Ahh Iwahashi listened.

The clerk continued, "However, apart from being a model, he is not engaged in acting activities. After all, he's just a schoolboy. ”

It is said that the reason why she became a model was because of her poor family background.

Ayumi Hamasaki's father abandoned his wife and daughter when she was two years old, and Ayumi Hamasaki lived with his mother and grandmother. This family with only women has a very hard life.

Because of her cute appearance, when she went to Iwataya with her mother when she was a child, she was invited to be a children's clothing model in the order book. Since then, in order to make money to supplement the family, she has started to work as a model.

Almost all of the children who came out to work part-time at a young age have a miserable family.

After all, the earliest stars were also children of poor families. The boys and girls who handed their resumes to the idol competition, and those who wanted to improve their family by becoming famous and becoming idols also grabbed a lot of them.

Shinichi Iwahashi, the girlfriend of Momopstar, didn't want to make some money when he went to participate in "STAR! Birth".

"Anyway, that's it. After the clerk finished speaking, shut up and waited for instructions.

Iwahashi Shin came back to his senses and looked at the clerk waiting for instructions, and suddenly felt a little lost in his heart.

“......”

“......”

Someone was sent to inquire, and the information inquired about was that the girl was Ayumi Hamasaki.

It was the Ayumi Hamasaki who once made him feel domineering, handsome, spicy and beautiful...... hasn't debuted yet.、It's just the form of a girl.。

Iwahashi Shinichi lowered his head and looked at the delicate and beautiful girl in the advertising book, posing for the camera.

Got it, and then what?

......

On the second day of the Fukuoka Stadium, the weather was even better than yesterday. In the evening, even the sky lit up a little. These two outdoor concerts of DREAMS COME TRUE have been taken care of by God.

When something good happens, it's motivating.

After a night's rest, Miwa-chan was fully charged, and as soon as she stood on the stage, she was inexhaustible.

The repertoire, performances, etc., on the second day, were exactly the same as on the first day. Yesterday was the first official performance after the rehearsal, and Miwa-chan was in some places, and she was a little restrained because she didn't fit in, but today, everything is under control.

The day's performance went well as well.

Miwa-chan ran around the venue, singing happily, and was in even better shape than she looked at on the first day. I can't see the fatigue of being so tired that I couldn't speak yesterday, and I woke up and came back to life full of blood.

The fireworks display on the second day was not absent, and it was still on display. Today, without yesterday's discomfort, after becoming more and more handy, Miwa-chan's interaction with the audience became more frequent, causing the audience to scream again and again.

After these two performances, not only the audience in the audience, but also the accompanist and dance team who worked together, and even the staff who worked with them, all had a deeper understanding of the strong on-site ability of DREAMS COME TRUE.

"About 55,000 people have been mobilized, and the DREAMS COME TRUE field tour Fukuoka has come to a successful conclusion!!" The next day, the newspaper and entertainment section of the newspaper carried the news that the band's tour in Fukuoka had ended.

Along with the report, a photo of the three members of the band standing together as they watched the fireworks together.
