RB's singing artists are a very large group, and many popular singers have also experienced their own singing periods, such as famous singers such as Yuzu, Bio Chief, Xuanxiang and other singers, all of whom have gained attention through street performances, and then got their own passes to enter the music scene.

Looking at the world, the common place to sell songs is, of course, the station, which not only has a huge flow of people every day, but also has a wide range of age groups of passers-by, and the music audience is extremely wide. But Ye Zhao is in this era, when the bubble economy bursts, countless companies go bankrupt, and the entire RB is in a state of passivity and confusion.

After thinking about it, Ye Zhao finally chose the location of the singing in the shopping street in Shibuya. In Tokyo, Shibuya is a favorite place for young people, and the huge flow of people makes street artists naturally gather here, so that a music genre called "Shibuya" has been derived, and talent scouts are also well aware of the place Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and often "treasure for treasures" here.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, when Ye Zhao walked out of Shibuya Station with a guitar on his back, there were already sporadic entertainers performing on this street. Realizing that this was a colleague, a young man who was singing on an electronic keyboard showed an expression of "don't come to steal business with me".

Ye Zhao was a little embarrassed and turned his face away, singing is not selling cabbage, as long as the price is lowered, it can attract customers, if you want to do a good business, you have to rely on your skills.

Not far from other artists, Ye Zhao, who didn't bring anything but a guitar, had to sit on the ground. There was no audience, no opening remarks, I tuned the guitar, cleared my throat, and started singing!

"I want you to listen to a song, that's what I've always wanted to say......"

"Just spread out the map, just wait for the wind ......"

"Now I will run to the other side of my imagination, relying on these wings ......"

"Rainbow ...... Running to Me"

The song, titled "Rainbow", was a hit single released by Masaharu Fukuyama in 2003 and was played as the theme song of Fuji TV's TV drama "Water Boy", and the single containing this song sold 900,000 copies that year, ranking second on the annual singles list, second only to SMAP's national single "The Only Flower in the World". In the RB music scene in 2003, record sales had begun to shrink, and such good results could be achieved in this situation, although there was a popularity bonus of Masaharu Fukuyama, but it also showed the high quality of this song.

Masaharu Fukuyama's music belongs to the genre of folk rock, so Ye Zhao hardly uses it to make major changes in the arrangement, and he can restore the song with just the acoustic guitar in his hand.

Without a microphone, Ye Zhao could only try to let go of his voice and rely on his "original" voice to attract the audience. Not to mention, his appearance really attracted a lot of passers-by, but the reason why they looked sideways was because Ye Zhao looked a little different from other singers.

In later generations, it was not uncommon for people to simply sing on the street with an acoustic guitar, but nowadays, most street singers still choose to use electric guitars and microphones, wear fancy costumes, dye their hair colorfully, and rely on exaggerated styling and amplified voices to attract the attention of the audience. Therefore, at first glance, when they see such a white shirt and blue denim, a clean and refreshing teenager, passers-by will still subconsciously take a second look.

The song ended quickly, and a few passers-by threw a few coins into Ye Zhao's case, although it may only be a hundred and ten yen, but being able to get a response is a victory! Ye Zhao's fingertips swept over the strings, and then sang the second and third songs. In addition to the first "Rainbow", which is a famous song, Ye Zhao chose the next few songs that were not very popular in later generations, but the melodies were also quite catchy in his opinion, as well as popular songs that have become popular.

Three hours later, feeling that his throat was a little unbearable, Ye Zhao stopped performing. I looked at my piano case, and there were probably dozens of coins in it, ranging from 100 yuan to 10 yuan in denominations, and as for the banknotes, there was only a single 1,000 yuan bill, which I counted and earned a total of 3,210 yen. When Ye Zhao worked in a convenience store, his salary for an hour was 900 yen, at first glance, it seemed that he earned a little more from singing than from part-time work, but the income from singing was very unstable, if he was lucky, he might be able to earn tens of thousands of yuan at a time, and if he was unlucky, he might not even be able to earn money for a bottle of mineral water. Moreover, if you work part-time, you can work for eight hours in a row, and if you sing for eight hours in a row, it is estimated that your voice will be wasted.

For three days in a row, Ye Zhao sang on time at the same place, he neither met a large sum of money that gave him 10,000 yuan, nor did he decline to the point that he could only earn 30 or 50 yuan, and his daily income was stable between 3,000 and 5,000 yen, after all, he only sang for three hours a day, which was already a good income.

But for Ye Zhao, the purpose of his singing is not just to make money, if it is to make a living, he can directly find a job with a stable income. The reason why he came to Shibuya was the idea of waiting for "Bole". But in the past three days, although some people have shown curiosity about these strange songs he sang, most of them are just passers-by who say "really amazing", and the only scout he met still took a fancy to his appearance and wanted to sign him as an actor. Although that person swore that he would arrange his debut as a singer when the time was right, he also knew that unless he could "act and excel", that "singing" would be a castle in the air.

In the evening, after singing today's song and drinking the ice cola he bought at the convenience store in front of the station, Ye Zhao returned to the apartment with his guitar on his back. Stepping on the creaking wooden staircase to the second floor, in front of the 203 door where he lived, a girl wearing a T-shirt dress and long maroon curly hair squatted on the ground, looking like she had been waiting for a long time.

“…… Natsumi Fujii?"

"It's really annoying, but I haven't seen each other for a few days, and the name for me has become so rusty. Natsumi Fujii got up from the ground and grumbled as she smoothed the folds of her skirt. Her voice was soft and sweet, and it sounded like she was coquettish.

"How could it be. Ye Zhao smiled, "It's just that I didn't expect to see you here, so I was a little surprised." With that, Ye Zhao took out the key and opened the door, "Come in and sit for a while...... It's a bit messy, don't mind. ”

"You're really not humble at all. Standing in front of the entrance, looking at the messy room, Natsumi Fujii complained.

"Well, honesty has always been my strength. Ye Zhao's face was not red and his heart was not beating.

"Come less. Fujii Natsumi glanced at him, "Won't Ye Jun's girlfriend come to clean up your room?"

"It's been a long time since we broke up. ”

"In that case," Natsumi Fujii took a deep breath, and out of nowhere, picked up a T-shirt thrown next to the hallway, folded it by two, and then took out the garbage bag from the kitchen and put it in it.

Looking at Fujii Natsumi, who was busy in the house, Ye Zhao couldn't help but say loudly: "I said Natsumi......"

"Don't thank me, I just can't bear to see you drowned in a mountain of garbage. Natsumi Fujii, who was wiping the table, said without raising her head.

…… No, that's not the point, is it?

After cleaning Ye Zhao's room at a whirlwind speed, Natsumi Fujii sat down on the tatami mat and stretched comfortably.

Ye Zhao took two cans of Coke and handed her one of them, "There is only Coke here, let's drink it." ”

"Thank you. Natsumi Fujii took the Coke, opened the tab, took a sip, and then suddenly held the Coke can and laughed softly.

Ye Zhao cast a puzzled look.

"I didn't expect that Ye Jun looked so clean, and the room was messy. Fujii Natsumi paused, and then said, "However, this contrast is quite interesting. ”

Can this be contrasting and cute?

"By the way, how did you find here?"

"I found the information of Ye Jun when he joined the company in the store manager's office, and I found it by following the address above. Fujii Natsumi explained, taking out an envelope from her bag and handing it to Ye Zhao, "I'm here to deliver this." ”

Ye Zhao took the envelope, the sender's place was written NTT DOCOMO, opened the envelope, and inside was a printed letter, which read: "Hello Mr. Ye Zhao, you have been selected for the final selection of our advertising audition, please go to XX Town, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo at 2 pm on May 29 to participate in the interview ......"
