Chapter 70: Yutaka Tanabe's Distress

Yutaka Tanabe was in a bad mood.

Yutaka Tanabe's stage name is "Ring", which is usually represented by the romanized sound "Kai". Unfortunately, Lin Hai, who has often appeared in the news recently, has a stage name "Hai", which is also written as "Kai", but the crew of "GTO" mistakenly sent the script to Yutaka Tanabe's office.

This incident completely disrupted Yutaka Tanabe's life.

Yutaka Tanabe liked the manga "GTO", but when his agent informed him that he was going to appear in the play, he was not happy.

He wasn't interested in acting at all, he just wanted to be a drummer.

……

Drums are undeniably important in a band.

If a song is compared to a person, then the drum is the skeleton, and without the drum, then the whole song will become a puddle of mud.

Some people may say, no, what about the cappella songs, or the singing songs?

First of all, when a singer sings, it is usually accompanied by a drum beat, but in the singer's ear. Secondly, even without drums, there will be a metronome. If you don't even have a metronome...... That's okay, anyway, compared to being out of tune, the rhythm is not a big deal, ordinary fans can't hear it, and if it is heard, it can also be explained by improvisation and casualness.

Singers, don't rely on lip service.

……

Drummers are important, but drummers are usually the least present in a band.

Still take people as an example -

Drums are bones, bass is muscles, piano and violin are fat, rhythm guitar is skin, lead guitar is clothing, singing is face, harmony is makeup, and saxophone flute and trumpet are toad mirrors and big gold chain skateboarding shoes.

What? You ask me what is suona? Come on, blast this smashing field out!

All in all, most people who listen to songs do not have a clairvoyant eye, and the first thing they see is always a wild or charming face and gorgeous clothes. Occasionally, when you notice an accessory, you will praise it with "this match is just right", but few people will compliment "your bones are so beautiful".

When performing live, the drummer who sits in the back is usually the least noticeable.

But that's exactly what Yutaka Tanabe wants.

Yutaka Tanabe's personality is a bit introverted, and he doesn't like to communicate with people very much, and after coming to Tokyo from Osaka, he was ridiculed a few times because of his thick Osaka accent, and he became more and more dislike to talk to people, so that the whole person was translucent anytime and anywhere.

It's been more than half a year since he joined the firm, and although Yutaka Tanabe has attended all the training courses, no one in the firm knows about him, and even his agent is about to forget about him.

After receiving the notice from the agent, Yutaka Tanabe refused in his heart, and also expressed his willingness not to act, but pay attention - the agent is a notice, not a notice, and he doesn't care about his thoughts at all.

This feeling of not being taken seriously made Yutaka Tanabe angry, but he couldn't resist, so he thought of a way to secretly post the script on the Internet.

Yutaka Tanabe did this very carefully, and now everyone thinks that the firm is not greedy enough, but they don't know that the firm is suffering.

In any case, Yutaka Tanabe's goal was achieved, and the crew of "GTO" made it clear that they would not invite him to participate. However, what the bad bear child didn't expect was that the office completely aroused public outrage because of this incident, and a large number of TV stations, led by Fuji TV, made it clear that they would not cooperate with the office again.

At this moment, the firm is stupid, and its artists are completely fried.

This kind of large-scale blockade, everyone has to go crazy!

Not to mention the actors, singers want to promote their songs, TV announcements are also essential, and being banned by TV stations is not a problem of half of the cold, it is a problem of being completely cold.

What's even worse is that many artists have advertising contracts, but now the news has not yet reached the ears of those large and small enterprises, and when those financiers react, the consequences are unimaginable!

These things have nothing to do with Yutaka Tanabe for the time being, but he also tasted the bitter fruit, and the reason is simple, the office is closed.

Yes, the president of the office is a man who understands and knows that the dying struggle is in vain, so he simply gathered the artists and announced the decision to close the door.

Some artists spoke with the contract and demanded that the office compensate for liquidated damages, and the president of the office was single, and he went back with a sentence - either break up in two, or tie them up and die!

No one dared to bet, so the artists had to choose to leave the house.

Among these people, the saddest ones are trainees such as Yutaka Tanabe, whose original debut plans were all in vain, and they were all beaten back to their original form at once.

……

Yutaka Tanabe's family is not wealthy, and he used to have an office, in addition to receiving "subsistence allowance", he could also play drums for free, but now he can't.

Yes, he didn't have his own drums, and even if he did, his landlord and neighbors wouldn't allow him to practice at home, and the drums at school were communal, and the professional recording studio was expensive, so he had to play dumb drums at home.

The dumb drum, also known as the drum pad, is good for practice, but without real sound feedback, you can't feel the subtle changes, so Yutaka Tanabe set his sights on Nishiazabu Street, hoping to find a part-time job playing drums here.

Nishiazabu is a bit similar to Houhai in Beijing, with many bars and nightclubs, and Yutaka Tanabe felt that it should not be difficult to find a part-time job as a drummer at his own level.

Yesterday, he applied for a part-time permit from the school, and today he specially asked for leave to come and inquire from house to house, only to find that the situation was not as simple as he thought.

It's true that Nishiazabu has a lot of resident bands, but most of these resident bands are fixed teams, and even if there are patchwork, most of the musicians they find have a certain reputation, and young people like Yutaka Tanabe who don't even have an office are not even given the opportunity to show them at all.

……

was rejected all the way, and Yutaka Tanabe's mood can be imagined.

After being rejected again, Yutaka Tanabe went to the bathroom to cool down his hot head, and his burning fighting spirit was completely extinguished.

Ring, you're an idiot......

Yutaka Tanabe came out of the bathroom in a depressed mood, his heart was full of regret, resentment and loss, but just as he was about to go home, he suddenly heard a voice-

"Ring is an idiot!

Yutaka Tanabe's footsteps stopped.

Although he thinks so in his heart, it doesn't mean that he can endure the ridicule of others.

……

Seeing that it was a beautiful girl who spoke, Toyotaka Tanabe's anger suddenly vented, but he still couldn't help asking, "Why are you scolding me?"

"I scold you, I don't even know you, what are you scolding for?"

The girl's tone was unpleasant.

Never mind.

Yutaka Tanabe didn't want to argue with the other party and turned around to leave. However, the girl stopped doing it, stopped him, and said angrily: "You make it clear, why did I scold you?"

……

The argument in the corridor attracted several people in the box.

Lin Hai asked Hikaru Utada: "What's the matter?"

Hikaru Utada pointed at Yutaka Tanabe: "This person is inexplicable, I don't mean I scolded him!"

Yutaka Tanabe's face turned red: "You call me a fool......"

"Huh?" Utada Hikaru was stunned, and then looked at Lin Hai embarrassedly.

"What did you say?" asked Lin Hai.

Utada blushed and said like a mosquito, and then said to Yutaka Tanabe angrily: "I'm talking about Kai, not you, besides, which ear can you hear that I'm scolding?"

"I, I'm Kai......"

Yutaka Tanabe realized that he had probably misunderstood, and he didn't know how to explain it, and for a while he felt a sense of self-pity.

Lin Hai understood, and started the round with a smile.

"I see, it's just a misunderstanding......"

……

This misunderstanding is so troublesome, how to say it, it's ridiculous.

In addition to the name crash, the misunderstanding is also related to Mitsuyoshi Utada's return from abroad.

Why?

To explain this, it is necessary to understand the difference between Tokyo and Osaka.

Hikaru Utada just said that "Kai is a fool", using the word "Yaga".

This word is the Japanese "national curse", which originally means idiot, stupid, etc., but depending on the context, it can also be used to joke or express intimacy, somewhat similar to the Chinese word for "stupid".

If you are a person from Tokyo, you will know that Hikaru Utada is not scolding people, but Yutaka Tanabe is from Osaka.

Kansai people don't use "Yaga" when they joke, they will use "Ah Bang", and Yaga is purely swearing.

And vice versa, people in Tokyo will jump to their feet when they hear "Ah-bang".

Hikaru Utada grew up in the United States and was not sensitive enough to these, otherwise as long as he heard Yutaka Tanabe's Osaka dialect, he would be able to guess the reason.

After listening to Lin Hai's explanation, Hikaru Utada hurriedly apologized to Yutaka Tanabe.

Yutaka Tanabe hurriedly returned the salute and said, "No, I'm too sensitive, and I should apologize to ......."

……

The misunderstanding was cleared, and Lin Hai looked at Yutaka Tanabe with interest.

"Your name is Kai too?"

Yutaka Tanabe only saw Lin Hai's face clearly at this time, of course he was no stranger to this face that had been on TV recently, and he didn't know what to say when he was stunned, so he had to apologize repeatedly.

"Why are you apologizing to him!"

Utada's mind was unpredictable, and at this time, he pointed the finger at Lin Hai again, and said dissatisfiedly: "He's a villain!"

Yutaka Tanabe smiled bitterly: "I apologize because, because I caused him trouble......"

"Huh?"

Lin Hai looked him up and down and asked, "Take the liberty of asking, should you have received a script......

"Yes, but I never wanted to act......"

……

Yutaka Tanabe briefly explained the reason, of course, the matter of posting the script on the Internet is never mentioned.

"You're a drummer?"

"Yes. ”

"How's the level?"

"It's ok. ”

When it comes to playing drums, Yutaka Tanabe's confidence returns. However, his confidence only stayed for a moment, and then he said in discouragement: "Maybe it's far away......

"Hmm......"

Yutaka Tanabe didn't mention the details of the rejection, but Lin Hai could guess what happened when he saw his reaction.

From Yutaka Tanabe's body, Lin Hai saw himself back then.

He has encountered similar things more than once.

He once went to the producer with the written song, but the other party didn't even look at it, and swept it directly to the waste paper pile......

If it's a lack of ability, it's just that, and if you don't even have a chance to show, you're completely denied, which is really shocking.

Lin Hai wanted to give Yutaka Tanabe a chance, but he couldn't be the master, so he looked at Kazumi Watanabe.
