Things have to go back to fifteen minutes before coming out of the sushi restaurant, when Ye Zhao picked up the phone call from Fuji Ayako.

"Is there anything wrong with Ayako-san?"

"I watched MUSIC FAIR on Saturday and it did a pretty good job. ”

"How did Ayako-san know that I participated in that issue of "MUSIC FAIR"......" Halfway through the words, Ye Zhao suddenly remembered that Fuji Ayako's good friend Fuyumi Sakamoto appeared in the same issue as him, thinking of this, Ye Zhao turned his head, "Could it be, Ayako-san is to cheer for Sakamoto-san, and then found me by the way, right?"

Fuji Ayako on the other end of the phone let out a noncommittal chuckle, and then said slowly: "Dongmi told me that you went to her with the single to sit for a while, and Dongmi also praised me for being polite. ”

"About this," although he was a little embarrassed, Ye Zhao still explained the situation at the time, and then said: "Sakamoto-san also told me, and Ayako-san complained to her that I sang Sakamoto-san's song but didn't sing your song. Anyway, Ayako-san didn't tell me at that time that she wanted me to sing your song. ”

"It's too straightforward to say this kind of thing, and I'm so embarrassed. ”

"If it were me, I would have said it directly. Ye Zhao smiled, "If Caizi-san sings at karaoke, remember to sing my new song." ”

"You have two new songs this time, do you want to sing "Mei しき Flower" or "Sakura"?" Fuji Ayako said the names of the two songs very clearly.

"Of course, it's going to be sung two songs in a row," Ye Zhao said with a smile, "but when singing 'Sakura', I hope that Ayako-san can sing while dancing and singing, and at the end of the song, she will applaud and say, 'The single is a big hit, it's a happy cola'." ”

"This is embarrassing, isn't it?"

Ye Zhao, who was running happily on the train, said casually: "If Caizi-san does this, in return, I will also bet on the dignity of a rock singer and sing Caizi-san's songs." ”

"How hot is it?"

"In short, I definitely don't lose to Koji Yoshikawa at the concert. ”

After a while, Fuji Ayako asked endlessly: "Is Ye Jun busy now?"

"I'm having dinner with Fukuyama-san near Akasaka, so if I don't have any reservations, I'll probably go straight home. ”

"In that case," Fuji Ayako invited in a smiling tone, "I'm in Akasaka right now at the karaoke here, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, instead of waiting for next time, Ye Jun might as well wait and fulfill the agreement." How?"

"Huh?"

"Does that sound reluctant?" Fuji Ayako seemed to have a demon's horn on her head suddenly, "Ye Jun probably didn't want to come over because he wanted to continue from Roppongi all the way to Ginza after eating?" ”

“…… There is no such thing!" and how do you know there are a lot of cute girls out there?

"In that case......

"When you finish eating and go to Caizi-san's side, it will take a while, doesn't Caizi-san mind waiting?"

"It doesn't matter. Fuji Ayako's tone was quite pleasant, "Anyway, Dongmei and they are all here, so many people stir up the atmosphere, and they won't be lonely at all." ”

"Eh?!"

"That," Ye Zhao said dyingly, "Caizi-san's friends are here, I don't seem to be suitable in the past, right?"

"No, the call was made with everyone's permission. Fuji Ayako smiled and made up for the last cut, "I heard that Ye Jun can come, everyone is looking forward to it." Moreover, Ye Jun has already promised me just now, is it going to be reversed now?"

"Hmm......"

So, do you want to bet on the dignity of a rock singer in front of so many people, and use the style of Koji Yoshikawa to sing his worst songs? Hanging up the phone numbly, the words that Kazuyo Kawamoto said floated in front of him like a proverb:

"Ye Zhaosang, if you always run the train with your mouth, it will overturn one day. ”

I'm sorry, but he doesn't want to hear this kind of poignant line at all.

……

"It's no different from ordinary people, everyone dresses casually, and there are people who like to mess with their relatives when they're drunk. This passage is Ayako Fuji's description of the singer's bar party.

So what would a singer look like in a karaoke box? When Ye Zhao arrived at the karaoke shop in Misuke, Akasaka, the question was finally answered.

Fuyumi Sakamoto, who gave Ye Zhao the impression of "the finale singer of the party" backstage in "MUSIC FAIR", was happily cheering up her companions with a rattle, and her long hair, which was always coiled up when she wore a kimono, was just casually draped over her shoulders at this time.

There were also two men and a woman sitting on the sofa, one of them was a man with an artist-style instant noodle head and the woman, both of whom were in their late thirties. As for the other uncle who seems to be very kind, it turned out to be the stage director Hideki Noda. The breadth of the singer's travels is a bit unexpected.

Holding the microphone and singing is another friend of Fuji Ayako, who is also one of the five beauties who perform songs, and what she is singing is Kudo Shizuka's "Crying", the lyricist of this song is the legendary Miyuki Nakajima. But the point is not what she sings, but her dress - the karaoke box provides some cosplay props, and she is famous for her dignified and deep style on the stage, and at this time she even wears cat ears and cat claws.

"This scene is really impactful. Ye Zhao whispered. But thinking that he is likely to do this next, Ye Zhao thinks that why bet on the dignity of a rock singer and sing Fuji Ayako's singing or something, it is because of singing that his dignity will be disgraced......

After the last lyrics were sung, Wu Dai Natsuko put down the microphone, tilted her head, kneeled, raised her two cat's paws, and imitated the kitten to make a "nyan~" cry.

The people in the box applauded and cheered in unison, especially the instant noodle head man was the most exaggerated, shouting twice in succession, "Saigao!"

"Mr. Ueno, you don't need to be so exaggerated, right?" said Natsuko Takeshi, sitting back on the sofa, jokingly brewing the noodle man.

"After all, it's a rare sight. The instant noodle man smiled, "To be able to see this scene with my own eyes, it's not a shame that I deliberately put down my work in the recording studio." ”

At this time, Fuji Caizi also brought Ye Zhao to everyone, "Everyone, Ye Jun has arrived." ”

"It's really good, Fujimura-san, I really brought Ye Zhaosang. I thought it was a joke. "It's Hideki Noda who speaks, and Fujimura is Ayako Fuji's real surname, and if you can call her by her real name, it seems that the two are quite familiar.

"Mr. Noda (Sensei): Okay. Ye Zhao greeted him very respectfully.

Noda Hideki was a little surprised, "You actually know me?"

"Of course, I really like the 'Dream Wandering Club' and admire Mr. Noda's creativity, so I didn't expect to meet Mr. Noda here. Although he didn't know much about Noda Hideki in his previous life, when he was in the playwriting school, the teacher had specially explained Noda Hideki's works, and Ye Zhao naturally respected this well-known theater dramatist in China.

In 1976, WAN99 Hall in Aoyama, Tokyo, initiated a joint performance of a new theater troupe in order to discover new theater talents, and openly recruited participating theater companies. It was also in this year that 21-year-old Hideki Noda founded the Dream Wandering Sleep Club from this student troupe and won the opportunity to perform together.

In the sixteen years since, the Sleepy Club has become one of the most popular theater troupes in China, and its rehearsals have been very acclaimed and acclaimed, until 1992, when Noda Hideki announced the dissolution of the troupe without warning.

"Thank you, it's hard for someone your age to like the Sleepy Club. Hideki Noda was very kind, "If you're interested, please come and see the next NODAMAP performance." "NODAMAP is a theater company that Noda re-founded in 1993 after the dissolution of the Dream Wandering Sleep Club and his return from studying in London.

"Will definitely go and see it. Ye Zhao agreed and looked at Fuji Caizi, "Caizi-san, I really want to thank you for calling me this time." ”

Fuji Ayako smiled lightly, "In that case, Ye Jun must remember to fulfill the agreement." ”

"But before that, it's Caizi-san who needs to fulfill the agreement first, right?" Ye Zhao looked at her with a smile.

"Ye Jun, what conditions did Ayako use to persuade you to come?" asked Sakamoto Fuyumi, who was the second acquaintance of Ye Zhao in addition to Fuji Ayako.

"I hope that Ayako-san can sing my 'Sakura' while dancing and singing, and at the end of the day, she will applaud and say, 'The single is a big hit, it's a good coke', if you can do that......"

Wu Dai Natsuko, who had already taken off the cat's ears, looked like a good show, "Coloro, it's up to you next." ”

While Ayako Fuji picked up the song orderer, Ye Zhao quietly approached Fuyumi Sakamoto and asked in a low voice, "Sakamoto-san, what kind of karaoke party is this......?"

Fuyumi Sakamoto smiled, "Originally, it was just me and Ayako, Natsuko, and the stage designer Uchiyama-san," Fuyumi Sakamoto pointed slightly at the strange woman named Uchiyama, who nodded politely. "Originally, it was only the four of us who came to sing together, but Natsuko thought it was boring to just sing like this, so she proposed to call a man to come and cheer for it, and if she couldn't get someone, she would be punished. ”

Uchiyama-san invited Noda-san, and Natsuko invited shamisen-viran Ueno-san, who was originally not going to come, but after Natsuko agreed to bring cat ears to sing Miss Kudo's "Crying", Ueno-san immediately changed his mind. As for Ayako, I didn't expect her to bring you here. ”

You've got enough of the mess too...... After silently complaining in his heart, Ye Zhao said curiously: "The people invited by Uchiyama-san, Wudai-san, and Caizi-sang have all arrived, so who is the person invited by Sakamoto-san?"

"Well," Fuyumi Sakamoto said, "I won't tell you now, you'll find out later." ”
