"Fourteen? That's pretty impressive. Iwahashi said.

At the age of fourteen, he was able to come from Hokkaido to Tokyo to chase stars, which is really good enough. Think of when he was fourteen...... It's better not to want to.

Miwa Yoshida's "Yumi-san" refers to Yumi Matsutoya, a singer who has the title of "Queen of New Music" in RB.

Before the 70s, the pop music industry was dominated by songs and folk songs, but since the 70s, musicians who tried to innovate tried to add something new to their music, and for a time there was a "new folk song" between folk and new music, until the emergence of Yumi Matsutoya.

From the moment she debuted, what she handed over was a "new music" that completely discarded the shackles of the original music routines.

In addition to her pivotal position as a singer, Yumi Matsutoya has also provided a series of best-selling songs for popular idols such as Seiko Matsuda, Tomoyo Harada, and Hiroko Yakushimaru as a composer.

The idols who are now dominating the world, on the road to popularity, have a lot to do with the support of the works of these famous artists.

Shinichi Iwahashi was no stranger to the name Yumi Matsurenya, because the old man Hayao Miyazaki, who was more famous to Chinese, liked her very much.

Therefore, the theme song of the anime "The Wind Rises" "ひこうき雲" (Track Cloud), as well as the episode "ルージュの伝言" (rumors of lipstick) and the ending song "やさしさに包まれたなら" (if you are surrounded by tenderness) are her songs.

"Gigi, turn on the radio, my hands are out of space right now. ”

After that, the prelude to "ルージュの伝言" sounded, and the title of "Witch Home Delivery Service" appeared.

"That's the power of like. Miwa Yoshida smiled, "It was Se-san who brought fresh air to the music world and changed the ears of RB people with trendy elements. ”

After the rapid economic growth of the sixties, in the seventies, RB became one of the richest countries in the world, and the slogan of 100 million total middle class (100 million middle class) was also shouted the loudest at this time.

Financially affluent, teenagers no longer have to work at a young age to support their families, so they can continue their education, and the rate of admission to high school and college has begun to increase year after year.

Staying in the comfort of the school, these young people also have enough time and money to get in touch with new things, find like-minded friends, and nurture their own culture, so from this period onwards, there were more and more bands, and RB pop music began to flourish.

At the same time, because conditions have improved, elements such as poverty, sorrow, and self-pity, which used to pervade traditional songs, are no longer resonating with listeners, or more precisely, young listeners.

Lovers will no longer stay in a four-and-a-half room, but will go to dance, travel, and have fun together. And Miwa Yoshida when she was a girl was able to run from Hokkaido to Tokyo at the age of 14 to chase stars, instead of staying in the countryside and looking up at the stars.

Changes in life and thought have nourished the birth, development and popularity of new music.

Yumi Matsutoya, who was born in the affluent class, and her music seems to be tailor-made for the middle class. With the right time, the right place and the right people, her success is no accident.

"I yearn for Yumi-san, I want to be a singer who doesn't lose to her and make everyone like my music......" Miwa Yoshida turned his face slightly, raised his eyes, and carefully watched Shinichi Iwahashi's reaction.

"That's a good idea. Iwahashi felt that she was right.

He was so calm and even appreciative that Miwa Yoshida was surprised, "I thought you would laugh when I said that I wanted to be a singer who didn't lose to Yumi-san." ”

"What's so funny about that?"

"That being said, once upon a time in Hokkaido, when I said that, I was laughed at a lot. ”

An ordinary girl in the countryside of Hokkaido has made a bold statement that she wants to be the next Matsuren Tani Yumi, and she is indeed ambitious enough. It's so big that it makes people feel unrealistic, and it's not surprising that you'll be ridiculed.

However, for Shinichi Iwahashi, who had not grown up in their cultural environment and had just arrived here, it was difficult for him to have the same emotions as a native of his country, even if he knew how powerful Yumi Matsutoya was.

People like him,The most RB songs I've heard in my last life are all kinds of covers that were sinicized in China.,Before the crossing,The three most famous RB singers in my heart are Tanimura Shinji.,Miyuki Nakajima.,Plus a Hamasaki walk.。

At first, I knew that Ayumi Hamasaki was not because of her songs, but because she had endorsed a drink called the fifth season.

At that time, Shinichi Iwahashi, who was still a young and beautiful boy, looked at the woman printed on the bottle and felt that this sister was spicy and beautiful. I fell in love at first sight, so I bought frequently, although my pocket money was very limited.

So, for him, Miwa Yoshida wants to be the next Yumi Matsuhitoya and she says she wants to be anyone.

"But I don't think it's funny at all. Iwahashi Shinichi's tone was by no means comforting, "However, it's better to keep a lofty goal in your heart." Because not everyone can understand. ”

"I don't just talk to people, I only tell people I trust......"

Shinichi Iwahashi was a little surprised, "You trust me?"

"Well, I trust you. Miwa Yoshida's eyes sparkled, "Trust an excellent person who said to me, 'My music should be heard by more people,' and did her best to help me with her talents." ”

"Excellent people?"

"Isn't it good enough to have the talent to turn the intangible into the tangible?" Miwa Yoshida asked rhetorically, "I envy such a talent, and I think you are amazing." ”

If he is praised by anyone, he doesn't feel anything, but it is different to be praised by a person who thinks he is excellent and talented in his heart. Shinichi Iwahashi was a little embarrassed and a little proud.

Then, it suddenly occurred to him that from dancing for Mimi Club to dictating music for Miwa Yoshida, the fundamental reason why he had a connection with these excellent people was that he was also excellent.

The encounter with Miwa Yoshida seems to have awakened a certain part of himself.

Shinichi Iwahashi did not respond to Miwa Yoshida's statement, but told her, "In the future, you can talk to me about singers like this, and I am sure that you will not be surprised by what you say." Because I trust you too. ”

Trust a person who regards Matsuren Valley Yumi as his life goal.,Even if you're ridiculed, you won't change your original intention.。

Miwa Yoshida smiled and agreed, "Okay." Then he stepped forward, "I'm so hungry, let's go eat." ”
