Chapter 444: Being a Squad Leader (Plus 1)
After returning from eating, Ye Zhao received a call from Jun Takeda.
On the other end of the phone, he said succinctly, "We have decided to go back to Tokyo tomorrow." ”
In that case, it is done.
Ye Zhao said "um", "Thank you, Takeda-san." Great help. ”
"It didn't help much...... However, please be careful before you do anything, and don't mess up the office and make me lose my job again. Jun Takeda said.
Hearing him say this, Ye Zhao laughed at first, and then replied very seriously: "Please rest assured." He didn't want to mess up the office and lose all that he had worked so hard to get.
In the past, there were many blind entertainers in Hokuriku and Tohoku who lived by performing shamisen performances in the streets and alleys, and the most famous of them was probably Takahashi Takeyama.
Blind as a child, he made a living by performing shamisen, visiting almost every village in the Tohoku region, and his shamisen skills are impeccable.
The Tsugaru shamisen, which originated in the Tsugaru region, has been spread through the art of these artists who have traveled from village to village to make a living.
Perhaps because of this, Akita Prefecture, which is close to Aomori Prefecture, has also become an area where folk songs are popular.
When it comes to Akita Prefecture, the most well-known beauty here is Junko Sakurada, who was active at the same time as Yamaguchi Momoe and was once the official rival of Yamaguchi Momoe.
The various anecdotes between the "Baihui faction" and the "Junzi faction" are like the "Mingcai faction" and the "Seiko faction" soon after.
Coming to Akita, where folk songs are prevalent, they also added a little bit of freshness to the performance of the day.
It's like when you go to Osaka, you will say a few words of Osaka to interact with the audience, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, you will mention the city's parks that are suitable for cherry blossom viewing, and if you are performing overseas, you will especially learn the local language.
During the tour, as the geographical location changes, some local elements are added accordingly, which is also the most life-like part.
Before Akita's performance, the three of them learned a little bit of how to play the Tsugaru shamisen, and performed it live during this performance.
The repertoire is "Birth of Heaven", and it has been rearranged to match the style of the shamisen, and of course, it is more suitable for novices who are learning and selling shamisen.
"It's still a bit difficult, isn't it?"
Putting down the guitar and carrying the shamisen, the three of them talk to each other before the show begins.
"However, since it has come to this point, it is really necessary to do it, right?"
These words are also the part of the live talk that was designed before.
"Yes, I have to do it. Ye Zhao, who finally spoke, echoed.
"Well, listen to The Birth of Heaven. ”
After reporting the name of the dish, oh no, it's the name of the song, this shamisen freshman debriefing performance begins.
Singers who are interested in their own concerts can challenge a certain instrument during their performances, which is just the most basic thing.
Whether it's African drums, shamisen, guitar or piano, singers who are looking for effects always want to reveal something new at their concerts and bring freshness to the audience.
Of course, for the things that these singers themselves are not good at, or even just beginners, the audience only needs to feel the sincerity in them, which is enough for them to give a warm response.
Of course, the three of them have a good shamisen level, but the way they take their strings seriously and carefully hold the strings and the way they sway freely when they pick up the guitar are two completely different states.
Not to mention the hot situation of shaving the head, the gesture of doing something for someone is always moving. Between the singer and the audience, there is actually a little bit of mutual affection.
Therefore, this kind of serious appearance of doing something for the audience is naturally very good in the eyes of the audience.
After some simple performances, the three of them bowed to the audience, "Thank you!"
As if the volume buttons, which had been temporarily turned off, were turned on again, and there was a round of applause from the audience, mixed with "Saigao!" and "Thank you!", as well as the voices of the three people's names.
Although Akita was small and the place was cold, they still succeeded in igniting the enthusiasm of the audience with the performance, so that the performance started smoothly and carried out enthusiastically to the end.
After Akita, the next place to go was Iwate, and after Iwate, it was Sendai, and after Sendai, it came to Shin, and the band walked down to many places in one breath every other day.
"Two years ago, I was like that, starting from Hokkaido and traveling all the way south to sell songs. Referring to this old incident, Ye Zhao's tone revealed a little nostalgia.
That kind of propaganda that has been accumulated little by little has only been this one time so far.
"When I mentioned this, it was obvious that it was such a critical juncture, and it turned out that Ye Zhaosang went to Yuzawa to go sightseeing when we were in a hurry. Yuki Uemura, who accompanied him, revealed his old background.
"If it was Ye Jun, it wouldn't be strange to do such a thing!" said Ao Tianmin with a smile.
Shin is famous for Yasunari Kawabata's masterpiece "Snow Country", and during the bubble economy, many ski resorts and vacation rentals were built here, attracting people from Tokyo.
However, after the bubble burst, the place also became extremely miserable. On the one hand, the turnover of the ski resort has declined until it closes, and the speculators who were here at the beginning have now lost money and gone to the rooftop.
At the end of the new show, the band was on the stage, completing a simple "handover ceremony".
"In the past two months, I have traveled a lot as the leader of the band...... "Yoichi Kuramochi expressed his thoughts on his resignation in a decent manner.
“…… Then, after today's performance, it will be up to Ye Jun to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the captain. ”
According to the previous agreement, the three of them will take turns to serve as the captain of the band in the order of their debut, so that from now until the band disbands, Ye Zhaolai will be the last captain.
It's not something to boast about, though...... In short, let's complete the handover ceremony seriously. Although there were no tokens, the applause of the audience, and the shouts of "it!" and "Congratulations!" were completely uninterrupted.
After the new show, the next stop of the tour suddenly made a big move, running from Hokuriku to Kobe in Kansai, and slowly approaching their final stop, Tokyo, with a sense of "surroundment".
The freshly baked (and useless) captain led his band through Kobe, Osaka, Mie and finally Shiga.
After the performance in Shiga, the performance in Kansai came to an end.
At this time, it has come to the end of November. 2k reading web
