Chapter Twenty-Three: Light and Leisure
The 20th audition went well, and the X-Blocks, who had changed their style, easily captured the appreciation of Daiyuki Nagato with two guitars and two harmonies. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the exception of Sakai Izumizu, almost no one expects a decent performance from this cheeky band that has already auditioned for 19 times in the Being department.
It's just that Li Youtai's warm voice doesn't look like what an eighteen-year-old boy should have, coupled with Ryo Aada's slightly hoarse harmony, and the lyrics that fall into it as if with healing magic, plus the simple and ordinary dress that completely fades the atmosphere of heavy metal, all of which bring out a contrast that completely shocked everyone.
Everyone was in a trance, was this still the same X-Blocks band before?
Not at all, not at all!
It's just that people look a little alike, that's all!
And the end result is that the band X-Blocks not only conquered the chief producer Nagato Daiyuki with the song "Together Forever", but also captured the hearts of many producers, and even B'z lead singer Takahiro Matsumoto, who came to play soy sauce, praised this newcomer group.
Of course, Sakai Spring, who is the excavator, will never be willing to hand over this treasure to other branches, and it is necessary to sign a contract with B-Gram, and there can be no objection.
There's no way, who made her not only the first sister of the Being department, but also a shareholder of the Being department!
It's just that when it comes to the band's group name, the name X-Blocks is ultimately excluded.
The name of such a rock band will not get much certainty anyway.
You're not B'z, you're not Zard, you're going on a folk route, and although it's also rock, it's very different from rock in the traditional sense.
As a result, "Hikaru and Yu" formed by the combination of the names of Hikaru Asada and Lee Yu-tae became the new group name.
The first single, "Together Forever", was included in the production schedule of B-Gram.
……
Tokyo, Chiyoda, Kanda High School, rooftop.
"!"
Lee Yo-tae and Hikaru Asada collided with a can of beer, but tears slid down their eyes.
The band X-Blocks, which started here two years ago, the Band X-Blocks, who accompanied their crazy high school career, and the Band X-Blocks, who witnessed everything they did in the Tokyo underground band world, are going to disappear from today.
In its place, there is another completely unfamiliar "Light and You".
It was so strange that even they themselves were completely unexpected.
Is this the compromise made for life?
Is this the price to pay for the sake of dreams?
Is this the step that growth should take, and is this the path that growth should take?
Bury the ego, put on the mask, start falsely, end weakly?
Is that crazy life of the mob people already like the band X-Blocks, gradually moving away from them?
There was no answer, nothing was answered, only the stimulation of alcohol and the tears that slipped down.
Tears that can't be wiped away no matter what.
From today onwards, it will be "Light and You".
The two men leaned against the iron net, looking up at the sky, and the glider rumbled by, and in the sky, a long trail fell.
"Nei ~ Yutai, are you still thinking about her?"
"Huh? Who? ”
"The girl I saw in Saitama!"
"How can you say that?"
"Isn't 'Forever Together' written after we came back from Saitama?"
"No kidding, it's just a glimpse of the meeting in Pingshui. She doesn't know me, and I don't know her! ”
"That's just what I remembered, wasn't it?"
"Drink your wine!"
"The restlessness of adolescence is completely understandable!"
"Shut up!"
"Senior Zard sent me a message earlier. We also need a C/W song! ”
"Are you really going to be the Light and You?"
"You're already mentally prepared, are you still ready to stop? You've never been like that! ”
"I'm just a little sentimental all of a sudden!"
"Seventy or eighty? The sun has not yet set in the west. ”
"Why don't you know how to put away your tears when you say this?"
"Where do I shed tears?"
"What is this?"
"Ahh How can I say, it's also your senior! ”
"Cut~ It's just that I was born a few days earlier than me, so you plan to become my senior?"
"That's a day's talent!"
"Roll~"
The two teenagers were making noise on the roof of the building, and suddenly, the door to the roof opened, and a person who looked like a dean of teachers walked in.
"Ah~ You two guys, you dare to drink in school! What is your name and which flight are you on? ”
Hikari Yoyo, who was wearing a Kanda high school uniform, turned his head, revealing the expression of a tyrannical teenager.
"Ha~"
……
Kazuhiko Sato rubbed his temples and looked up from the pile of materials.
He had been in the office of the theater manager who was full of materials for a week, working day and night sorting and analyzing them.
Lee Yo-tae and Hikaru Asada could have come over to help him, of course, many times, they were not doing much, but after signing a contract with B-Gram Music, including the lead single "Together Forever" and the first test single of a C/W song, the two of them barely had much time to make. The small theater that has stopped cosplay performances has temporarily become a studio for two people, and although B-Gram Music is very optimistic about the folk rock style of Hikaru and Yu, it is uncertain whether the two of them can be determined by this, and the band Hikari and Yu do not have a decent studio in B-Gram. At this moment, because B-Gram is fully preparing for Zard's first official concert, B-Gram has not even equipped an agent for Light and Yu.
All of this will only continue after the market reaction of the first test of the single.
After a lot of data analysis and analysis of the success and failure cases of girl idol groups, Kazuhiko Sato finally made the final judgment that the feasibility of Akihabara's plan is quite high.
The current situation is that Sato Theater is facing a situation where it is about to be swept away, and if this project is really to be carried out, first, they do not have enough funds, second, they do not have songwriters who can support the entire girl group, and third, they do not have a dance director with enough dance experience.
"Yutai ~ Yutai ~"
Li Youtai, who was playing with the guitar over and over again, raised his head while composing a song, "Is there something wrong, uncle?" ”
"Come with me to KDDI!"
