Four Seasons Indoor Ski Resort, let you be in the world of ice and snow all year round!!"

In the brochure, the slogan is deliberately magnified, followed by an incendiary exclamation mark.

Takao Tajima glanced at it and put the brochure aside, he had no interest in man-made indoor ski resorts, and he would never go on a date with a girl on a ski slope - his skiing skills were so bad that it would be a shame to go.

His focus was on the Asahi TV letter.

Tear open the envelope and pour out the contents to reveal a piece of letterhead printed out of a typewriter and a letter of admission.

"Congratulations to all of you at ORIGINAL LOVE on your selection for the "Band Heaven" TV Contest, please go to TV Asahi before 9 a.m. on September 27 to participate in the TV Contest ......"

Takao Tajima breathed a sigh of relief after reading the contents of the letter.

The band aiming for a solo performance at Meguro Narukan, took the first step tonight and participated in a platter performance at Meguro Narukan.

Takao Tajima, who aimed to appear in "Band Heaven" and appear in front of the public, won the championship, and this evening, received a letter of entry for the TV competition from TV Asahi.

Although I still have to beat other contestants to get the chance to perform on TV, this is undoubtedly the first step.

Takao Tajima is the kind of musician who has been despised by those in the underground music industry who insist on non-commercialization, and has been aiming for mainstream debut and fame since he started performing in a group, but he himself has never believed that commercialization is wrong.

He came to Tokyo from his hometown in Fukushima Prefecture in order to get ahead, and his goals were clear and his intentions were simple. Even though there are many voices in the underground music circle who say that the band will be fooled if they appear on TV variety shows, he has no hesitation.

Not only that, but Takao Tajima believes that the talent who said such things is superficial when he comes to the conclusion that a show that has not yet officially started will fool the band.

Today is a day forward.

With this thought in mind, Takao Tajima fell asleep to the sound of the fan squeaking and turning.

The next afternoon, he gathered with his teammates in the rehearsal room with the letter from TV Asahi.

ORIGINAL LOVE and another band partnered to rent an old warehouse from a warehouse operator as a rehearsal room, and the rent was split equally between the two parties, and of course, the practice time was divided equally.

The teammates circulated the letters one by one, and they all felt excited.

The teammates who gathered together with Takao Tajima as the absolute center did not discuss how the relationship was, but they basically agreed on the general direction of the band.

"Okay, then let's practice with the goal of qualifying for the TV competition!"

......

Tokyo, which can accommodate tens of millions of dreams and the wreckage of dreams, has been able to accept Takao Tajima and his ORIGINAL LOVE for TV appearances, and has not turned down the efforts of other bands.

This center stage attracted Takao Tajima, who had always had high hopes for Tokyo, and brought him here from Fukushima Prefecture, as well as people from further afield than Fukushima, where Takao Tajima lived.

The morning after Takao Tajima received the admission letter, Shinji Kazushima checked his mailbox in another apartment in Tokyo before going out.

Normally, other people usually check their mailboxes when they go home, but Shinji Kazushima is the opposite of others when it comes to these things.

In addition to receiving letters, there are many other small habits that are harmless but also make people feel different.

Shinji Wajima's hometown is in Aomori Prefecture in the northeast, and it is a remote, cold, and poor place.

This is the birthplace of the Tsugaru shamisen, and in the old days, blind artists from the Tsugaru area played the shamisen and begged from all over the country, took the Seikan Ferry, crossed the Tsugaru Strait, and walked as far as Hokkaido.

Nowadays, blind artists begging in the Tsugaru area have also become history, and masters such as Takahashi Takeyama went to the United States for public performances last year.

After more than a decade of hard work, the undersea tunnel connecting Aomori and Hakodate is about to open to traffic.

The shamisen is no longer a tool for begging, and a skilled artist can become an artist.

Transportation is well developed, and getting from Aomori to Tokyo and every part of the world is a breeze.

Two years ago, after graduating from high school, Shinji Washima traveled from Aomori to Tokyo to study Buddhism at Komazawa University.

Komazawa University was formerly a monk training institution, and although he chose to study Buddhism, Shinji Wajima did not have a temple to inherit at home, and his father was not a great monk, but a teacher of Japanese language.

As a result, there are many books by literary masters at home. Shinji Kazushima was a quiet child when he was a child, and he preferred to read in the study rather than playing with other friends, especially Edogawa Ranbu, Izumi Kagamika, and Osamu Dazai.

"It is precisely because I am a Tsugaru person with pure blood that I can speak ill of Tsugaru so unscrupulously. ...... No matter how I say it, I love Tsugaru deeply after all. ”

Aomori is also the hometown of the writer Osamu Dazai.

Looking at the appearance, Shinji Kazushima has nothing to do with the word handsome guy, the long hair of the shawl is permed with small curls, he is a little old-looking, not smiling, and always looks like a strange young man who is thoughtful, and sometimes people feel like a down-and-out cultural person.

When Shinji Wajima was in middle school, he wrote a song called "Human Disqualification", which used the heavy metal style of the Black Sabbath Band, and the lyrics were about the depravity of human nature.

Many years have passed since then, during which Shinji Wajima left Aomori for further education and went to Tokyo to study Buddhism, broadening his horizons, thinking more and writing more songs, but his favorite song is "Human Disqualification".

It was because of writing this song "Human Disqualification" that he grasped the most important thing, that is, what kind of music he wanted to pursue, and what kind of music he wanted.

It is fed on the hard rock and heavy metal of the rotten national style, and the Japanese wind is planted on it.

......

Shinji Wajima opened the mailbox, and there was a letter lying inside, and the sender wrote it was TV Asahi.

He stared at the envelope and thought about it, remembering that not long ago, he had indeed sent a video of the band's performance to TV Asahi's "Band Heaven".

When I was in junior high school, I met Kenichi Suzuki with Shinji Shima.

Aomori is a remote place, and even records and magazines are sold a little later than other places, and if it is a record of an unpopular singer, you have to make a reservation from a record store.

In such a situation, Shinji Wajima, who has a record that he really wants to listen to but is difficult to get, listened to a friend's introduction, there is a person named Kenichi Suzuki in the same grade, and there are many records at home.

Shinji Kazushima went to talk to Kenichi Suzuki with the mentality of trying, but he didn't expect the other party to really have this record, and not only that, but he was also glad that he could like the singer as well.

This is where it all began.
