Chapter 1: Rebirth
In the suite of less than ten square meters, the most valuable thing is probably the Yamaha acoustic guitar in the corner, although the panel is covered with thin scratches due to overuse, which are clearly visible in the sun.
The bottle of sleeping pills that fell on the ground, the bottle of a hundred pieces was empty, and on the low table in the room, under the BP machine, there was a suicide note written on the cigarette case: "Looking back, there is really nothing worth mentioning." ”
Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, Ye Zhao saw an unfamiliar face: fresh eyebrows and eyes, straight nose, delicate and manly, simply put, a handsome guy who can score 90 points. It's a pity that I'm used to seeing the ordinary and ordinary facial features of my previous life, and I really don't know whether to be happy or sad in the face of changes at this time.
Yes, Ye Zhao crossed over, or rather, was reborn. Just about thirty minutes ago, when he woke up from his coma, he found that he had somehow come to RB and became a 19-year-old teenager.
The boy's name, also known as Ye Zhao, is an authentic Chinese, his ancestors immigrated to RB and have been running a Chinese restaurant in Yokohama's Chinatown, and later his father met his wife, who is also Chinese, during college, and after the two tied the knot, he gave up inheriting the family's Chinese restaurant, and now both teach in a private high school in Yokohama.
When he was a teenager, Ye Zhao not only had excellent grades in school, but also played a good guitar, and his appearance was good, so he took the lead. However, this good fortune seems to have lasted only until he was 17 years old, when he first failed the entrance exam for Waseda University, and then when he went to a cram school in Tokyo to repeat his studies, he lost the tuition fee because he was obsessed with pachinko, and then dropped out of school without permission to join an underground band called "Chapeak".
His parents, half disappointed in him, and half thinking that he would naturally regret when he fell, simply let him live alone in Tokyo, of course, without all financial resources.
Breaking away from the jurisdiction of his parents, Ye Zhao began his own path of chasing his dreams. But I don't know if it's because of lack of ability or bad luck, the band participated in several record company auditions in succession but failed, and could only perform as a warm-up performance at the cabaret club in Shinjuku. It was also here that he met Mika Ogawa, a wine girl who was eight years older than him, and Ye Zhao, who had nothing to do, quickly fell in love, but Mika Ogawa only regarded him as a pastime outside of work.
After living together for a while, Mika Ogawa, who was bored with Ye Zhao, kicked him off without hesitation. Ye Zhao, who was hit one after another, completely collapsed after this incident and chose to end his short life with sleeping pills.
Looking at this small apartment, although Mika Ogawa's things have been taken away after the breakup, it is not difficult to see the traces of the two living together. Although the open wardrobe is a mess, it is clearly partially empty, and on the walls are not only posters of rock stars, but also a few posters of Hikari GENJI, which is Mika Ogawa's favorite.
The only major appliance in the room is a 14-inch old-fashioned color TV, and under the TV stand, there are some music scores and music CDs scattered around, most of which are B'Z singles. The torn out part of the desk calendar on the table is stuck on May 18, 1994, while the BP machine shows the time of May 20.
Throwing the "suicide note" into a ball and throwing it into the trash, holding his cramping stomach, Ye Zhao came to the cramped kitchen where only one person could turn around, and cleaned out about two handfuls of rice from the rice bag next to the rice cooker, in addition, he also found a small bag of rotten and blackened bean sprouts, a bag of mayonnaise that had expired for two months, as for vegetables and meat, I really didn't even think about it.
However, this is not that the life of the predecessor was so poor that eating and drinking became a problem, although he lived a tight life, it was still possible to maintain basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation. The main reason is that in addition to playing in the club at night, he also has to work at a convenience store during the day, and he has very little time at home, so he basically relies on bento or instant noodles for three meals.
Pour all the rice in the bag into the rice cooker, the rice can't be cooked, and it's okay to cook some porridge. Although there are no side dishes at all, I was hungry for two days, and even the most ordinary white porridge was eaten with relish. After replenishing the food, the weak body regained a little energy, and lying on the tatami mat, Ye Zhao also had the energy to think about the next road.
Ye Zhao's previous life was neither an elite nor a professional in the workplace, he was the owner of a video store specializing in second-hand CDs. And the reason for his rebirth was not a car accident or a heart attack, he accidentally knocked down the shelf while taking inventory, first fell off the ladder and injured his head, and then was buried alive by the disc that fell from the shelf.
It was acquired from all over the world, from the 70s to 2017, and he was proud of tens of thousands of CDs of music and film and television dramas.
Thinking of the reason why he was a little embarrassed, Ye Zhao covered his face weakly. At this time, a sudden pinprick pain came from his head, and the pain became deeper and deeper, so that he couldn't help but hold his head and curl up.
I don't know how long it took, but the pain finally subsided and consciousness slowly returned. Ye Zhao was surprised to find that the music and film and television dramas in the discs that buried him alive all appeared in his mind at this moment!
RB in the 90s was in the golden age of CD sales, with 28 copies sold in just one million singles in the most recent year, relying on a perfect copyright system, even if only one best-selling song was written, he could live a worry-free life with subsequent royalties. And now, Ye Zhao, who has music for more than 20 years in the future, is like sitting on a priceless treasure mountain, as long as he is willing, even if he takes out one-tenth of it, it is enough for him to call for wind and rain in the Dongying entertainment industry and get everything he wants.
The band was mainly covered, and although they had five members, they couldn't write any decent tunes, which is one of the reasons why they were always turned away by record companies, a band that couldn't produce itself and needed to rely on external composers was hard for the record company to look up to - unless they were going to be idols in the skin of a band, but unfortunately their average appearance was not enough to be an idol.
And now, as long as Ye Zhao comes up with a few high-quality tunes, he doesn't worry that the band can't go to the next level. As for why he didn't just quit working alone, it was mainly because the members of the band were all good in my memory, and everyone had been together for more than a year, so it was a bit unkind to abandon them at this time. Besides, even if you debut as a band, you can still fly solo later, so why be independent at this time and leave a handle that can be infinitely rendered.
Ye Zhao was thinking about it here, and the BP machine on the table suddenly ticked and ticked. I haven't seen this kind of old antique for many years, and it's still a little fresh to hold in my hand at this time. Came to the public phone on the first floor, dialed back according to the numbers above, and only waited for two rings on the other end of the phone, and was immediately picked up, and a deep voice asked: "Xiaoye, why didn't you come yesterday?" Listening to the voice, it was the band's bassist Watanabe Lu.
Riku Watanabe is the organizer of the band, and it was he who fell in love with Ye Zhao, who was performing in Rieno Park, and pulled him into the band, but he has always taken good care of him, and can be regarded as one of Ye Zhao's few friends in Tokyo.
Ye Zhaogan laughed twice, "There is something temporary, I didn't have time to contact you." "You can't say he died yesterday.
Fortunately, Watanabe Lu didn't dwell on this matter too much, and directly said the topic: "If it's okay now, hurry up and come to the club, Yuta said that there is something to announce." "Yuta refers to the lead singer Yuta Kojima.
"What's the matter?"
"I don't know about this, he said he must say it in front of everyone. ”
After hanging up the phone and returning to the room, Ye Zhao took out a clean plaid shirt from the closet and changed it, washed his face again, looked in the mirror and took care of his hair with his hands, and after tidying up his appearance, he went out and took the train from Ikebukuro to Shinjuku.
