Shinjuku at night is both heaven and hell.

It's a paradise because it's a place where the nightlife is so rewarding, and it's a hell because it's a place of filth and filth, and it's full of violence and love in the invisible corners. At the same time, there are also a large number of adult scouts gathered in Shinjuku, and I don't know how many girls who don't know the world have strayed into the mouth of the tiger and have since fallen into the dark world.

The most famous place in Shinjuku is probably the 2-chome, which is famous all over the world because it is a world-famous gay gathering place where a large number of GAY bars gather. That being said, after all, there are about 200-300 bars here, so there are quite a few of them for the general public.

Walking alone in Shinjuku 2-chome at night, Ye Zhao's heart was a little hairy, for fear that a big man suddenly burst out of the alley and knocked him out with a stick, and when he woke up the next day, there was an indescribable pain somewhere in his body.

Taking a deep breath, he was about to comfort himself for worrying, when suddenly, a "girl" wearing a red dress, black long straight middle, and clear eyebrows came out of the alley, and the "girl" threw a wink at Ye Zhao, "Handsome guy, do you want to have a drink?" Although he deliberately pinched his throat and behaved very femininely, this was clearly the ......

Ye Zhao was trembling, and ran away.

Panting and pushing open the door of the bar, Lu Watanabe, who was sitting at the bar, looked at Ye Zhao's embarrassed appearance and gloated: "Accosted?"

Ye Zhao rolled his eyes, "If I didn't know that you have a girlfriend who has been in love for many years, I would have to express my doubts about your purpose of meeting someone in Shinjuku 2-chome in the middle of the night." ”

"you!" Rku Watanabe scolded with a smile.

This small pub called Chaska has only one narrow façade, except for a short bar, there are two small tables, which can accommodate about ten people at most. In the bar street, even if your face looks a little immature, it doesn't stop you from having a drink here.

Ye Zhao ordered a glass of Chin Feishi, and while waiting for the bartending, he asked, "What has Brother Watanabe been doing lately?"

"There's a club over there in Roppongi and I'm playing bass there right now. Although I thought about forming another band, I interviewed a few young people, and it didn't feel good. Nowadays, although there are more people playing bands, the level of musicians is also uneven. After Watanabe finished speaking, he asked rhetorically, "What about you?"

"When I first started singing, I sang in a shopping street in Shibuya, and recently I'm planning to release an underground single at my own expense. ”

"Underground single at your own expense?okay, you, won the lottery?" Watanabe riku teased.

"Pretty much. Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Because the budget in my hand is not very sufficient, I refused the accompaniment and arrangement provided by the record company, so I want Brother Watanabe to help find a few cheaper musicians." ”

Watanabe didn't immediately agree, but asked, "What kind of single do you want to make?

Ye Zhao hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "It's my original." ”

After hearing that it was Ye Zhao's original, Watanabe Lu frowned and said euphemistically: "It's not a small amount of money to release a single at your own expense, you ...... Don't think about it anymore?"

After a little thought, Ye Zhao understood why he had such a reaction. Although the predecessor has remarkable guitar skills, it has never written any decent tunes, and if it costs millions to produce a dung song that can only be used for self-entertainment, the consequence can only be a loss of money. For such an unrealistic thing, Watanabe Lu can still persuade tactfully instead of directly pouring cold water on it, which is enough to save face.

There is no basis for his words, and if he wants to persuade Watanabe Lu, he still has to show his hand. Thinking of this, Ye Zhao said: "That's it, Brother Watanabe, I'll let you listen to my tune, and after listening to it, you can decide whether you want to help or not." ”

"Okay. Watanabe nodded.

After leaving the bar, they got into the silver second-hand Toyota Camry of Watanabe Riku, and about ten minutes later, the two arrived at the Gillav Club, where they used to perform. The reason why I didn't choose to go back to the apartment is because it is now more than half past ten in the evening, and playing the piano and singing in the apartment at this time is a proper disturbance to the people.

Watanabe has been in the underground music scene in Tokyo for four or five years, and although his music career has not improved, he is also a little famous in this circle, so even if they have left the club, they suddenly come to the door to borrow the lounge backstage, and the boss does not refuse.

It is said to be a lounge, but in fact it is just a long grocery room of only seven or eight square meters. There were a few spare guitars in the club hanging on the wall, Ye Zhao casually took off a log-colored Yipufeng brand electric box guitar, adjusted the strings, "Then, I'll start singing." ”

Of course, the charm of "Summer Color" is undoubted, when Ye Zhao opened his mouth to sing, Watanabe Lu, who was originally a little careless, turned serious as the song unfolded, until he became more and more surprised.

After the last syllable, Watanabe Lu raised his hand and was about to applaud, but Ye Zhao's right hand plucked the strings again, and another melody resounded in this small room.

At RB, in addition to the title song, a single usually includes one or two songs called C/W (Couple With), of course, not 100% of singles are available, but buying two songs for 1,000 yen is better value for listeners than buying one, and it will also boost sales to some extent. In the choice of this C/W song, Ye Zhao finally decided to sing "Secret Base" at the audition meeting that day, and the reason why he chose this song is not a special reason, simply because since he plans to make a best-selling single, he naturally wants to choose a best-selling song to stuff it in, this song has a catchy melody and fits the theme of the whole single, so it naturally becomes the C/W song of the single.

Whether it is "Summer Color" or "Secret Base", they are all well-known songs, and the shock that came out of two such excellent songs in one go is naturally self-evident.

After Ye Zhao finished singing, Watanabe Lu hesitated for a moment and asked, "These two songs...... You wrote it?"

"Brother Watanabe, with the quality of these two songs, it's always okay to release an underground single, right?" Ye Zhao asked without answering.

"It's no problem, these two songs, take one out at will, even if it's for a popular singer, it's enough to be the title song. Xiao Ye, I didn't expect you to have such a talent. ”

Looking at Lu Watanabe with a wry smile on his face, Ye Zhao said: "Brother Watanabe, in fact, on the day the band disbanded, I originally wanted to bring my original song to everyone to listen to. Although the dissolution of the band has nothing to do with Ye Zhao, he still doesn't want Watanabe Lu to treat him as a white-eyed wolf who plans to eat alone, after all, his plan at the beginning is indeed to fight with everyone.

"You don't need to explain, I believe you. Watanabe Lu sighed, "On the band's side, maybe they really don't have that fate." I'll look for musicians for you, and besides, it costs a lot to release an underground single, so you're okay with your living expenses, right? ”

"It's not necessary, Watanabe-san, but I won the NTT DOCOMO draft not long ago, and I used the 1 million yen prize money to pay for the release of the single, so it didn't affect my life. ”

Watanabe Lu looked at Ye Zhao, who had a calm and breezy face, as if he had reacquainted him, and said in a low voice: "Yuta feels that the existence of the band has imprisoned his development, so he insisted on quitting the group, and now it seems that the person who is really imprisoned is you......"
