"There is also a band that came from Osaka today. Watanabe introduced to Ye Zhao, "I am well-known in the underground music scene in Osaka, and it is said that I have received invitations from record companies. ”

"Oh?" Ye Zhao was a little interested, "What kind of band?"

"It's called Sanjoya. "Watanabe Rido.

Ye Zhao thought about it in his mind, and he didn't have any impression of this band at all, it seemed that either this band later changed its name or debuted after reorganization, or it has been active in the underground music circle.

Compared to this band called "Sanjoya", it has not yet arrived. Ye Zhao is more interested in a band that is already present now. Although Sanjoya is well-known in Osaka's underground music scene, it does not appear on the trajectory of future development. But the band, which is now in the background, has really entered the mainstream music industry in the future, and has become a smash hit, influencing many singers in the future.

"Jun Zuojun, good evening. Riku Watanabe greeted a light-looking young man who knew it was Japanese at a glance when he entered the backstage.

"Good evening, Watanabe-senpai. This Jun Sakun bowed to him quite politely, "I'm going to trouble my seniors to take care of me." ”

"Whereever, the audience here has a very high opinion of you. Watanabe Lu smiled, noticed that Jun Sakun and Ye Zhao were looking at each other curiously, and thoughtfully introduced, "This is my junior in high school, Okuda Junsakun, who has been doing the band since he was a student. This is my partner when I formed a band in Tokyo, Ye Jun. ”

"Good evening. The two men bowed to each other and said hello.

Okuda Toshisaku obviously knew Ye Zhao, and said politely: "It's really a blessing." ”

"I'm here. Ye Zhao was also busy returning the salute, and the two of them bowed to each other back and forth in a completely unorthodox manner according to the sticky greeting style of the Japanese. However, what Toshisaku Okuda didn't know was that Ye Zhao also knew him.

After entering the second half of the 90s, the mode of assembly line bands and producer bombardment gradually declined after reaching its peak, and more and more singers and bands with personality and strength emerged in the music scene.

The Brilliant Green is a two-man and one-female iron triangle duo featuring vocalist Tomoko Kawase, guitarist Ryo Matsui, and bass leader Toshisaku Okuda...... That's right, it's this Toshisaku Okuda who is now greeting Ye Zhao.

After confirming that this Okuda Shunsaku was the same Okuda Toshisaku, Ye Zhao subconsciously looked behind him, and sure enough, he found a girl who was quietly leaning against the wall of the corridor waiting for the opening, there is no doubt that it was Tomoko Kawase. For example, in this kind of band supported by talented musicians, it is normal for face-blind musicians to have a face-blind female lead, and it is absolutely impossible for a face-blind female lead singer.

What's more, in the profession of female lead singer, Tomoko Kawase's face recognition is very high. As for the extent of appearance, it is a matter of opinion, but Ye Zhao personally thinks it is quite beautiful.

Having said that, looking at Toshisaku Okuda, who was talking to Tomoko Kawase quite gently, although casual, Ye Zhao couldn't help but gossip a little in his heart. A combination of two men and a woman, one of whom took most of the composition and became the soul figure, and finally married the beautiful female lead singer back home...... Do you think he's talking about Takeshi Kobayashi and MLL?

This is actually Shunsaku Okuda and Tomoko Kawase. Of course, it's too far to say that now.

"Junsaku-kun's band was just picked up by Sony Records not long ago, but the producers there seem to be ambitious, and they don't plan to make their debut anytime soon, and they are going to slowly polish them in the same way that they used to sculpt the band. After Toshisaku Okuda said goodbye and returned to prepare for the stage, Riku Watanabe acted as a complement and explainer.

A band like this, which is quite powerful and aims to make a mainstream debut, as early as the underground period, either frantically sent demos in an attempt to win the favor of record companies, or was booked by record companies early. In addition to starting faster than anyone else, it is still difficult to get that coincidence if you want to be a Bole when the other party is "talented".

"In this way, the strength is really exciting. ”

"Yes. The three members of the band were all from Kyoto and had their base camp in Kyoto, so they stayed here until they were preparing for their debut, and they were able to train professionally and perform at clubs here to gain experience. Just a few months ago, Toshisakun and I met at a pizzeria here, and when I heard that I was running a club, he asked if I could come and perform. ”

Rku Watanabe smiled, "Of course I'm absolutely OK, their band only has guitar and bass, but Junsakun can play the drums a little, and occasionally when he can't do both, Junsaku-kun will be the drummer, and I'll make a cameo on the bass." To be honest, I'm very happy to be able to perform with such a high-caliber band. ”

Although he gradually retreated behind the scenes, Riku Watanabe still enjoyed performing in front of the stage. He knows how to use a variety of instruments and has a solid musical foundation, perhaps because of this, or perhaps because he has also experienced a long career in an underground band, and can deal with all kinds of people and personalities, and the members of the band here respect him very much.

"However," Ye Zhao, who met a future well-known band at Watanabe's club, said in a slightly emotional tone, "It's amazing that you met it at a pizzeria." "Although I was talking about the pizza restaurant, I thought that I would meet such a character in Riku Watanabe's club.

"Kyoto isn't a big city. Ryku Watanabe didn't know what he meant, "It's not like in Tokyo, once people are separated, they may never meet again for the rest of their lives." At this, he was silent for a moment.

Ye Zhao guessed that he probably remembered the other members of the band at that time. At this moment, he also recalled the people and things when he first arrived. But that's about it, and it was quickly thrown away. For him, the events of the past were not so much a page of a book that had been turned over as an old newspaper that had expired.

He wouldn't go back and look at it, and he wouldn't care about what it was.

Kyoto is a thousand-year-old capital, but on the inside, it's also a rock capital, and many musicians have come from here. Ye Zhao couldn't help but think to himself, this club of Watanabe Lu, I don't know what kind of characters will be ushered in in the future.

……

The band named Sanjoya, after actually meeting the members themselves, Ye Zhao was even more sure that there was no familiar face among them.

That being said, after actually watching their performances, I had to express my admiration for their performance skills and the expressiveness of the lead singers.

As for why they refused to be solicited by record companies, in short, in this world, since there are people who have tried their best to sharpen their heads to enter the entertainment industry, there must be people who are indifferent to fame and fortune and refuse business and only want to be themselves.

In the middle of the performance, Shunsaku Okuda's The Brilliant Green Band also officially took the stage, and the audience cheered enthusiastically as Ha Akira's concert in Osaka. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the underground music industry is not only known to scouts, but also to the audience. Therefore, they will give more enthusiastic support than they do when facing singers who are making their mainstream debuts.

And singers who have gone through a long underground career also have an incomparable advantage over singers who audition after their mainstream debut, that is, even if they don't do any publicity, their audience and supporters in the underground era will help their singles and albums get a better ranking.

A slight difference from the two bands that have appeared on stage before is that The Brilliant Green is all singing their original tunes. Although the previous two bands also performed original songs, they still covered two songs from other bands.

They sang a total of four songs, one of these four songs was later included in their mainstream debut album, and the other three songs were not heard, and they should have ended up as scrap songs. At this time, Toshisaku Okuda's creative ability was not as mature as it was later, and the direction of the chords was easy to guess.

Although there is a suspicion of pointing out the country, even if you have never planted an apple tree, occasionally talking about the taste and quality of apples is not something that needs to be approved by a large number of people.

After The Brilliant Green's performance ended, Ye Zhao suddenly lost interest in the singer who was going to take the stage next, left the venue, and went back to the backstage.

"Don't you want to keep watching?" asked Riku Watanabe.

"No, it's almost time to take a break and get ready for the next stage. Ye Zhao smiled. He was going to take the stage as the "extra" of the show, and the time slot was arranged at the end, after all the participants in the performance were over. At that time, whether you are surprised or disgusted by his appearance, it will not be unhappy or affect the performance of the latecomers.

It was not very convenient to chat in the lounge, so the two of them came out together and stood in the stairwell and chatted.

"What song are you going to sing later?" said Watanabe, lighting a cigarette.

"It's not decided yet. Ye Zhao thought for a while, "Sing whatever comes to mind, be casual." ”

"By the way," said Watanabe with a smile, "when the show is over, remember to leave an autograph here." When the time comes, I'll hang it on the wall of the club. ”

"Compared to me," Ye Zhao also smiled, "Watanabe-san remembers that he and Okuda-san also need an autograph." With that kind of strength, it will definitely become popular in the future. ”

"Speaking of which, after Junsaku-kun and their first performance at the club, I said to them, 'It's amazing, I feel like I'm going to become your fan,' and the three of them were so excited that they signed for me on the spot. ”

"Haha. ”

Just as he was talking and laughing, Ye Zhao's mobile phone rang.

Riku Watanabe slowly put away his smile and pointed in the direction of the hallway, indicating that he was avoiding it for the time being. Being good at maintaining a moderate sense of distance is also what makes Riku Watanabe popular.

Ye Zhao picked up the phone.

"Good evening, Ye Jun. On the other end of the phone, Sakai Izumi's voice was slightly childish, and it sounded like she was in a very good mood.

"Good evening...... Then came the good afternoon. ”

"Good afternoon?" Sakai Izumi was slightly confused, and then smiled, "From now on, just say 'good evening'." ”

Ye Zhao understood, "If you say that......"

“…… Right now, I'm looking at the moon over Tokyo. ”

Ye Zhao could imagine the way Sakai Spring said this and bowed his head slightly. The thought arose so naturally that it seemed strange to him, even a little surprising.

He didn't know when he knew all about her trivial little movements.

"Has Sister Quanshui been back for a long time?" Ye Zhao was talking to her on the phone, and involuntarily walked out of the Morinaga Building, standing in the slightly desolate alley, raising his head, and there was a somewhat whitish Zhang Xianyue hanging in the sky.

"I arrived at Narita Airport yesterday afternoon, and after a little rest, this evening, Miss Imai delivered the letters that I had accumulated during my time in Japan. Speaking of this, Sakai Izumi's tone paused slightly, "Then, I wanted to call Ye Jun a little." ”

"Thank you, I'm really happy to receive a call from Sister Quanshui. Ye Zhao couldn't help but smile, recalling the scene in Baibang, and asked, "How are those photos?...... But let's say it first, all the good photos are the handwriting of photographer Sang, so I won't be 'greedy for merit'. ”

Such frank words made Sakai Izumii laugh too. After laughing, she replied in a slightly longer tone: "Compared with the quality of the photos, the places I care about more are the scenes in those photos, which are somewhat familiar." ”

"My memory is good, right?" Ye Zhao boasted in a slightly smug tone.

Sakai Izumi did not answer. However, he guessed that she was mostly smiling silently now.

So, he deliberately asked: "By the way, it's rare to go to Europe for so long, did Sister Quanshui come back with gifts?" ”

"Ye Jun, is this a gift?"

"Of course. Ye Zhao generously admitted, "In terms of gifts, I have always been very greedy. What's more, it's still a gift from Sister Quanshui. ”

"Even if you compliment me like that, it won't do any additional good. ”

"This is not a compliment," Ye Zhao looked at his watch, there was less than half an hour before the end of the performance in the club, he relaxed a little more, and blurted out: "It's true, I really want to receive a gift from Sister Quanshui." ”

There was a pause on the other end of the phone for two or three seconds, and Sakai Izumi asked, "Where is Ye Jun now?"

"Kyoto. ”

"Kyoto?"

"Well, after the concert, come over here to visit a friend from the Underground Age and stay for a little night. Ye Zhao said, looking up at the somewhat whitish moon in the sky again. 2k reading web
