Another wave of school girls poured into the store in droves, and after buying their favorite records, they walked out satisfied.

"Sure enough...... As long as Fukuyama-san comes out, the momentum will always be so huge. The clerk muttered to the warehouse, restocking the empty CD shelves one by one.

……

Around half past eight in the evening, a tall man wearing a black octagonal hat, a loose disposable mask, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose walked into the store.

The man wears a plain black T-shirt and cotton trousers, so casual and comfortable, he looks like a person who has come home and then impromptu to hang out. Perhaps because it was too casual, the somewhat "fully armed" cover on his face became unusual. Maybe he remembered to hang out after he had removed his makeup and his contact lenses.

As for why men wear makeup, in Japan, it's too normal. In other words, the mindset that men can't wear makeup is itself a prejudice against men.

The man lingered for a moment in front of the shelves where the new single was placed, and first took down a copy of Masaharu Fukuyama's new single "Message". This single continues the previous 12cm specification, and it does have a "dominant side" posture on the shelf.

After that, the man stopped at another set of shelves where the newcomer's work was displayed, and without hesitation, he took down one of the singles, and then stopped browsing and went straight to the cash register.

Looking at this decisive look, it seems that he has already decided what he wants to buy.

Today it was Asakura's turn to be on duty at the cash register, and he took the single from the man.

The first is "Message...... Fukuyama-san is really popular, whether it is among women or men, there is no doubt about his popularity. I heard that there are still posters of him in the gay bar in 2-chome. Asakura thought silently.

The second is an 8cm single.,Asakura glanced at the cover.,"Love の Talent"?

He has an impression of the single. This seems to be a newcomer that Sony Records is preparing to promote, so before the sale, there was a promotional agreement with their record store, and the store put the record of this newcomer singer named Makoto Kawamoto in a more conspicuous position, and also posted a billboard on the shelves for promotion.

And the lineup of this single is also very luxurious, the producer is Ye Zhao, the singer who has been very popular recently, and even the cover of the single was shot by Masaharu Fukuyama. Both of these things were written on billboards as selling points.

After scanning the code to the warehouse, he quoted the price: "A total of 2,250 yen including tax." ”

The man took out his wallet from his trouser pocket and handed him two thousand-yen bills, a 500-yen coin.

While Asakura was making change, another clerk found all the two singles that the man had bought and packed them for him. Then the box that the man took to scan the code was recycled.

If you've ever bought a second-hand magazine or record from a Japanese person, you'll be amazed at how meticulously they preserve their things. Even things that have been in circulation for more than a dozen years can be bought in a nearly brand new condition (of course, there are junk goods).

This shows how perfectionistic Japanese music lovers are. Even the requirements for second-hand goods are so high, let alone brand new.

Therefore, Japanese record stores have developed a rule that in order to ensure that new records are not worn out by customers when they are placed on the shelves, the CDs they put on the shelves are samples. When a customer buys a record, they take the sample to the front desk to check out, and then the record store staff will exchange the sample for the actual CD for sale.

The man took the record he bought from the clerk who packed it for him, and asked in a casual tone, "Excuse me, how is the CD of Miss Makoto Kawamoto sold?"

"Among newcomers, it's not bad. The person who answered was Asakura, who had just counted his inventory not long ago. After all, Ye Zhaosang is the producer, and Fukuyama-san helps shoot the cover of the single. It has also cooperated with Sony Records for promotion. ”

"Oh......" the man nodded, "Thank you, then." ”

"Thank you for patronizing......" Asakura bowed in a routine manner. It wasn't until the man walked out of the store that Asakura realized that this person's voice seemed a little familiar.

Although his voice changed due to wearing a mask, the man ......

"Ahh

Another clerk gave him a puzzled look.

……

Putting the single he just bought on the seat next to him, Ye Zhao took off his mask, "It's hard work, let's go." ”

"What did Ye Zhaosang buy?" asked Uemura Yuki casually as he started the car.

"A new single by San-san Fukuyama, and a new single by Miss Kawamoto. ”

"Yes...... Yuki Uemura realized later, "Miss Kawamoto's new single was officially released the day before yesterday." I just don't know what the sales will be this week?"

"It shouldn't be too bad, Sony is quite attentive to her, and cooperated with the record store to promote her, and the position of the record in the store is not bad. Ye Zhao said, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's already eight forty o'clock." ”

At the mention of this, Yuki Uemura complained slightly, "Really." Suddenly saying that I forgot something important, it turned out that I was just buying a record. …… You can buy a record anytime, right?"

"At least today, I didn't buy it for myself. ”

"Who is that for?"

"For today's guests, of course. Ye Zhao smiled and picked up the script to confirm.

……

Today is the first Tuesday of October, and it is also the first episode of Ye Zhao's title broadcast group on cultural broadcasting.

The name of the broadcast was finally determined to be "Ye Zhao's Ultramarine Heart Club", although it is a bit earthy, a little weird and a little suspected of plagiarizing the Beatles' "Lonely Heart Club with a long name", but for the sake of Japan being one of the most Beatles countries in the world, plus Ye Zhao's own foreign music enlightenment is also a Beatles, don't care about this kind of detail.

The broadcast time of the radio is from 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock every Tuesday night, and the content is the traditional form of the host and a guest in each issue, chatting and playing music, reading letters from listeners, and then expressing thoughts on the singles of the week's weekly chart, and talking about the "dry goods" of music that listeners want to know.

It sounds simple, but it's not very simple. At this time, I have to thank myself for not "not learning and not knowing" after crossing over, but honestly following the real bigwigs to make up for the professional knowledge in music.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to take over this show anyway. 2k reading web
