Chapter 54: The Blue Bird Cafe

By the time Westlife finished the show, it had unconsciously come to eleven o'clock in the evening.

After returning to the hotel, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Westlife held a small party to celebrate the success of the show.

The people of Nashville are still more welcoming to the boy group Westlife.

In the Nissan Stadium, there were almost 40,000 seats, which is already a very good result, after all, this is the United States, not their home base, the United Kingdom.

And what is special is that in the song performed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the cheers and applause were the loudest in the whole concert.

It's a bit embarrassing.,Sakamoto Kiyoshi is actually more popular than the protagonist as a guest.。

However, Westlife didn't care, because they have always had a dispensable mentality about entering the American market, after all, Britain is their territory, so they didn't care about Sakamoto Kiyoshi stealing the limelight at all, and they also used this to ridicule Sakamoto Kiyoshi, saying that he could make his debut in the United States singles.

Westlife jokingly ridiculed, the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Uncle Ishida felt that this could be considered completely, Uncle Ishida was ready to propose to the company, whether to let Sakamoto Kiyoshi release a single in the United States, test the water...

Kiyoshi Sakamoto also thinks this is a good idea, after all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto released his first single a year ago. It's been a year, and it's time to release a new single, otherwise, the high popularity and attention accumulated by such record awards will slowly fade.

Now is indeed the best time to release a new single, but it depends on how the company arranges, after all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is "Sony's own son", and Sony will not see the best time to release a single.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto said that everything will be talked about when he returns to RB.

The next morning, because the Westlife group was going to the next stop to continue their world tour, after saying goodbye to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, they hurriedly took the plane and left.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto's destination today is the Nashville composer's gathering place, the Blue Bird Cafe.

The agent, Uncle Ishida, because he wanted to go back to the company to help Kiyoshi Sakamoto deal with the share of the first single "Close Your Eyes", took a plane and went back to China first, leaving Kiyoshi Sakamoto alone in Nashville.

Uncle Ishida is very relieved about Sakamoto Kiyoshi, after all, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is twelve years old, and he has already traveled alone, not to mention that he is now fifteen years old.

The Bluebird Café.

Nestled in a low-key shopping street, the café is unremarkable, but walk in and you'll find that it's known for its warm and low-key vibe.

In Nashville, there are all kinds of singing places: bars, cafes, restaurants, malls, and even the middle of the square dance aunt's favorite square, as long as you have an instrument, as long as you have feelings, you can get high anytime, anywhere.

And the most famous of the cafes is the Blue Bird Cafe.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Sakamoto Kiyoshi walked around Fifth Avenue, ate something, and asked the specific location of the Blue Bird Cafe, and walked over slowly.

After walking for ten minutes, Kiyoshi Sakamoto finally arrived in front of the Blue Bird Cafe.

Looking at the small area in front of me, there is no signboard, but the shade tent has "The Bluebird Café" written on it, indicating that this is the famous café.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as I came in, the heating inside was still on, after all, it was only February, and the United States in the northern hemisphere was generally still relatively cold.

When Kiyoshi Sakamoto came in, his attention was immediately drawn to a man singing in a café.

After asking the clerk for a cappuccino, Kiyoshi Sakamoto took his coffee and sat down at the table next to the resident stage to enjoy the resident singer's performance.

Maybe it's because it's morning, there are still relatively few people in the café, and it can make a seat for dozens of people, but now there are only seven or eight people sitting sporadically.

At this time, on the resident stage, a handsome foreign guy about thirty years old was tuning the guitar and occasionally playing it twice, which sounded professional to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

When Kiyoshi Sakamoto had just taken a sip of coffee, the handsome guy seemed to have tuned his voice, and said to the shaking microphone erected on the stage, "Haha, it's my turn today, Parker, to perform for everyone, please support me." ”

After speaking, the guests in the café burst into scattered applause, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto also did not hesitate to offer his biggest applause, and also alarmed Parker on the stage.

Parker turned his head, saw the unfamiliar face of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, smiled at him, and said, "It seems that today, another music-loving friend from afar has come to our Blue Bird." Well, next, listen to me bring you my own song, "never"

Applause again.

Little Parker, please start your show.

Parker started playing guitar and started singing on stage.

At this time, no one in the Blue Bird Cafe spoke, and even the sound of breathing could hardly be heard. Only the singing voice of Little Brother Parker is left in this space, surrounding.

Parker's song "Never" is a standard country ballad, and the tunes sound very brisk tunes, and with Parker's pretty good voice, it sounds like you can give a good score. However, it still hasn't reached the point where it can become popular.

This is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's thoughts after listening to the song more than halfway through.

But yes, if you have a lot of potential, you won't be a resident singer in a café now, you'll have already debuted, and in Nashville, the birthplace of country music, there are people like Parker everywhere who dream of one day being able to make their debut.

Keep listening, and after a few minutes, an original song from Parker, "Never", ends.

Although the song is not very good, relatively bland, and nothing new, Kiyoshi Sakamoto still gave Parker, his biggest applause.

Brother Parker, who was on the stage, was very grateful to Kiyoshi Sakamoto for being so supportive, and suddenly asked Kiyoshi Sakamoto, "Hey, boy, you applaud a lot, do you think I sing very well?"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't expect that Parker on the stage would ask himself, a little confused, but he still replied politely, "Well, it's good, especially your guitar, which plays it well!"

"Oh, do you play guitar too?" Parker was a little surprised, the Asian boy in front of him seemed to be hidden.

"Well, a little. In foreign countries, Sakamoto Kiyoshi still thinks it is better not to be so sassy, so he said modestly.

"Then you come up and play it, let me see how you play. The handsome Parker beckoned Kiyoshi Sakamoto and asked him to come on stage.

The only seven or eight customers in the store also coaxed Sakamoto to clear it.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi felt that you asked me to go up, so I went up to play tricks, and I didn't need money anyway, so I put down the coffee in my hand and went up.

Taking the guitar from Parker's hand, Kiyoshi Sakamoto first looked at the brand of the guitar, Gibson's, then pressed the F chord, his fingers swept the strings, and suddenly a crisp guitar sound came out.

Then, Kiyoshi Sakamoto began to play.

The fingers of the right hand are raised and lowered, and the fret of the left hand changes quickly, and bursts of beautiful guitar melodies continue to flow out of the sound hole of this Gibson guitar, like a slowly flowing musical stream.

The guests present and Parker, who was next to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, watched in amazement as the Asian boy expertly played a beautiful guitar tune on this small stage.

A few minutes later, an original guitar song from Kiyoshi Sakamoto was performed.

"What about applause?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto was too immersed in the guitar solo just now and didn't pay attention to the atmosphere of the scene, only to realize that the performance was over, why didn't anyone applaud?

glanced at the guests in the audience and found that they were all sitting there blankly, looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto in surprise. When Sakamoto Kiyoshi turned his head and saw Parker's expression, Sakamoto Kiyoshi knew that he had gotten rid of it.

At this time, the guests seemed to react from the crash, and suddenly, the whole café burst into loud applause.

And Parker, who was on the side, had an expression of disbelief on his face, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Suddenly, Parker put his hands on Sakamoto Kiyoshi's shoulders, looked at Sakamoto Kiyoshi "obscenely", and said, "Hey, buddy, have you signed a contract with the company?"

Before Sakamoto could answer, Parker grabbed Sakamoto's shoulders tightly and continued, "How are you singing?"

Seeing Parker's excited expression, Sakamoto please know that his guitar skills were too powerful to scare this brother and the guests present, but since they were all scared, then scare them again?

So Kiyoshi Sakamoto first answered Parker's second question, "Can sing." ”

"Then can you sing a song?" At this time, the handsome guy Parker was already thinking in his mind about how to help his brother sign the Asian boy in front of him.

“OK。 ”

Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought about it, but still lazily chose "I'm Yours", which he just sang yesterday.

The guitar sounded, and the song flowed with it.

The four-minute "I'm Yours" is not too long, not too short, and the song ends before Parker and the guests can get more immersed in the song.

This time, everyone who heard Sakamoto singing remembered to applaud, and they whistled while applauding, and some directly praised it.

And Parker, who was sitting next to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, was already about to faint with happiness.

"This is a genius singer, although he is Asian, but the language is not a problem, and the guitar song just now, as well as this song, I don't seem to have heard it, is it his own creation?!! no, such a good seedling, I must recommend him to Scott!" Parker's mind was full of this.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's words shattered his illusions.

"Hey, Parker, I forgot to answer you just now, I've signed the company. ”
