It went round and round for a week or two.

"Higashino-san's "Lemon" and "Nothing" are finally out on CD! Let's go buy it when we're done singing, shall we? ”

"Huh...? But the single CD is very expensive, I think it costs 16,700 yen a piece, and after I bought it, I guess the pocket money for going out to play will be reduced in the next two or three days. ”

The whispered discussion reached Hino and Eda's ears, and a disdainful smile appeared on her face again.

Hey, that's why I said these laymen who are not enthusiastic about music...

Old fans like her have long found the existence of Higashino Studio through the Internet, and they have long learned about today's release on the announcement of Higashino Studio.

For this reason, she also saved a lot of money, and decided to buy three or four to support it depending on the situation.

That's what someone like her should do.

As for the "Unnatural Death" that my classmates often mention... She watched it too.

But let's be honest... That's it. She just bought some bonuses, bought two or three special issues, and bought some keychains for the characters of "Unnatural Death"... Other than that, it didn't cost much, and it cost more than 10,000 yen in total, which is not too much.

After all, Hino Kazueda feels that he is the kind of fan who is more sensible, and he looks at things more comprehensively, and he will not be rash. Unlike avid fans.

She glanced at her watch, muttered 'it's time to go,' and took the shoulder bag to the train to a newly opened mall in Meguro Ward.

In 2004, Japan already had the concept of shopping malls, and in them, it was similar to the previous life, mainly focusing on the more popular brick-and-mortar industries such as food, bookstores, music, and clothing.

She got out of the car, went to the mall, and walked straight to the fourth floor, where Japanese audio-visual and digital brick-and-mortar stores were basically on the upper floors.

This is one of Hino's favorite video stores, not only does it have a wide range of products, but the signage is very easy to read, so you can see at a glance where the current hit songs are.

She followed the direction of the sign, took three steps and made two steps, and soon came to the place where the CD of Tsukasa Higashino's single was sold alone.

Hino Kazue didn't plan to audition, after all, the audition line in front of him was lined up, and I don't know if it was because of Higashino Division's "Nothing", in addition to some high school girls and young women, there were also some housewives.

By the time they all listened to it one by one, it was estimated that they would have to queue up until the evening.

She didn't have the time, so she quickly picked up four CDs of singles and glanced at the names on the cover.

Tsukasa Higashino.

Okay, that's right, that's you.

It's good to buy right.

Kazue Hino nodded contentedly, habitually confirming the list of songs.

The names of "Lemon" and "Nothing" hang on the first and second lines.

But...

"Don't admit defeat? What is it? Hino Kazueda was a little inexplicable, but before she could think about it, someone behind her said hello and gently signaled: "I'm sorry, can Miss be a little faster." ”

"It's rude." Hino Kazue hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, knowing that he had interfered with others.

It's just that the song "Don't Admit Defeat" does make Kazue Hino a little strange, she claims to be an insider? But I've never heard Tsukasa Higashino sing this song.

Could it be someone else who sang this song with Tsukasa Higashino? So the indiscriminate charge was also put in, right?

Kazue Hino shook his head and hurriedly put away the CD? I scanned the situation of other singers around me by the way.

Didn't find any new songs or fire songs? She shook her head and walked to the cash register.

But before she got close to the cash register? She heard an excited voice from in front of her.

It was a middle-aged man with red eyes? With an excited face, he said to the young people around him: "We must win that project!" Why did you just give it to that guy in Murakami! Come on! Come on! That's right. ”

He looked excited? It seems to have been greatly encouraged somewhere.

The young man next to him also had a twinkle in his eyes, nodded vigorously, and at the same time handed the single CD in his hand to the clerk and asked for payment.

This made Hino and Eda who were behind them stunned.

Does she have an impression of this person? He was the first one in the Higashino Tsukasa listening area just now.

What the hell is going on?

Even if you listen to "Lemon" and "Nothing", you don't have to be excited.

The previous song touched the soft place of the person? The latter song is a beautiful metaphor for life... The atmosphere of the two songs is not too quiet, but it is not like this.

But fortunately, Hino Kazueda didn't continue to care about these people, just paid the money, and left with a small paper bag containing CDs.

I have to say? It's true that physical music discs in Japan are not too cheap, just these few tiny ones? A small disc stuffed with a few songs can be directly priced at one or two thousand yen.

Kazue Hino quickly returned to his home, reached out and simply selected one of the CDs and removed the plastic seal on the outside? Start listening.

Unlike the network data version, the biggest advantage of CD discs is that the sound quality is very good? Able to record the details of a singer's voice realistically.

"Lemon" and "Even though We Have Nothing in Our Hands" quickly went by.

This makes Kazue Hino very satisfied? Lying in bed and listening and closing your eyes? I feel like I'm immersed in water, it's cool and cool, and it's very comfortable in my heart... Tsukasa Higashino's clear voice is indeed a major feature...

"Listen to it again." Kazue Hino was lying on the bed waiting for the CD record to be replayed, but after waiting for a while, an unfamiliar tune suddenly sounded-

Not "Lemon" or "Even though we don't have anything in our hands"?

Kazue Hino couldn't help but open his eyes, and then he thought of "Don't Admit Defeat" written on the record.

Is that the song?

She was shocked, this rousing tune didn't quite look like Tsukasa Higashino's style, although it was indeed very rhythmic...

Kazue Hino was still thinking about it

The short prelude ended quickly, and at the same time, the song was like a fast straight ball that quickly smashed directly into her heart, making Hino Kazueda, who was still surprised just now, speechless for a moment.

This song...

Sounds pretty good?

She lay down again, intending to immerse herself in the world of music.

Only at this time can she officially let go of the heavy academic and interpersonal pressures in her life and enjoy this moment of tranquility.

And then...

'Do not throw in the towel, behold, there it is, the goal is ahead, and my heart will be with you, no matter how far away. ’

Well...

Don't admit defeat, it's just a little bit away, please keep running to the end, no matter how far away, my heart will be with you, chasing that distant dream. ’

Belch...

'Chasing that distant dream, no matter what happens, look like you don't care, jokingly, there will always be a way, dance with me tonight, please don't forget, I like you like that now, too." ’

"I..." Kazue Hino rolled over and got up with a stunned face, and the quiet sleepiness just now was completely gone.

She listened to the song, and her mind was full of 'don't give up', 'Come on!' Come on! 'Don't let yourself fall!' ’。

Not to mention a moment of tranquility.

"Did I do my homework?"

"Did the housework work?"

"Doesn't the room still need to be cleaned up?"

"Is it still time to sleep?"

"Shouldn't there be a sense of urgency?"

"Why should I be so willing to fall so much?"

No way! Absolutely not!

A few questions from the soul made Hino Kazueda's face full of confusion, and she listened to the 'don't admit defeat, it's just a little bit close', and took her homework book out of her shoulder bag.

I'm in a pretty good mood...

Merely... How do you listen to this song and feel like you're driving a tank when you walk? That's not right.

Then follow the impulse in your heart and do your homework for a while, right?

This scene is also repeated at Yumi Takahashi's house.

Originally, Aoi Fujiwara and Yumi Takahashi didn't understand what this song "Don't Admit Defeat" was, but after listening to it, they couldn't stop.

Aoi Fujiwara sighed when she heard this song, and felt that this song did have an inspiring power.

And Yumi Takahashi listened to this song and tied a five-kilogram sandbag and said that she was going to go outside for a run and come back.

"Mr. Higashino is secretly writing songs behind my back again." Yumi Takahashi's face remained unchanged when she ran back, but she was a little out of breath and complained: "This kind of song should let me listen to it first... No, I'm going to have to call him later to criticize him for this behavior. ”

Hearing this, Aoi Fujiwara next to him was a little speechless.

She glanced at Yumi Takahashi, only to feel that this product was really getting less and less B-numbered.

Why did Tsukasa Higashino listen to you first.

"Then again, this song is really good... The lyrics are simple and straightforward. Aoi Fujiwara glanced at the CD cover.

This cover is hand-painted by Tsukasa Higashino, on which is a lemon entering the water, the waves of the water are white, and this white makes up the clouds, and further down is the cover of "Although Our Hands Are Empty" with the little lamb half-raised head.

It's almost seamless, and Higashino's creativity is as good as ever.

There is nothing to reveal about this song "Don't Admit Defeat"... Tsukasa Higashino suddenly surprised them, as well as the rest of the Japanese audience.

But there are also disadvantages to this song, she wants to take the initiative to do her homework when she listens to it, or find a boy to confess.

It's really 'toxic'.

This made her touch her chin, and at the same time, she didn't forget to ask Yumi Takahashi, who was next to her, to open the computer next to her, and they wanted to see the latest evaluation of music.

Yumi Takahashi just opened the page and found that it had been swiped by comments about "Don't Admit Defeat".

It's really swiping.

A lot of people bought CDs, and everyone was rushing to "Lemon" and "Nothing", but they didn't expect to find unexpected treasures.

I don't know why, but listening to Higashino-san's song, I feel like I'm driving a tank. ’

Higashino-san's song is the same as "Although Our Hands Are Empty", which is also a song that inspires others, but it also has the atmosphere of a love song... Either way, it makes me feel refreshed. I decided to confess to him tomorrow, thank you Higashino-san. ’

Mr. Higashino gave me a huge surprise again. ’

The lyrics are very straightforward, but they are also very poignant, I am in my Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and I have been finding a satisfactory job since the Japanese economy was broken, and I originally bought a CD for my children as a birthday present, but I didn't expect to cry when I listened to it... We can't afford to fall any longer. ’

These reviews are mixed, and most of them are commenting on Tsukasa Higashino's new song that was suddenly released.

It's just that Yumi Takahashi couldn't understand it, so she looked at it and asked Fujiwara Aoi: "Aoi, how do you feel about this song?" ”

"Huh? I? Fujiwara Aoi was still concentrating on reading the comments, but she couldn't help but start thinking about it when Yumi Takahashi took a sentence.

She is not as simple as Yumi Takahashi thinks about things, and she thinks that Tsukasa Higashino must have a deep meaning in writing this song.

After all, both "Lemon" and "Nothing" were created in a context... So what is Higashino trying to express this time?

She thought about it for a long time, and wondered if Tsukasa Higashino was trying to encourage young Japanese people to work hard?

It's quite possible!

I have to say that Aoi Fujiwara's imagination is still quite rich.

If Higashino had heard it, he would have laughed, and then sighed.

After all, in a sense, it was actually said a lot by Fujiwara Aoi.

This song really encouraged many Japanese hesitants, powerless, and helpless, unable to find a job, only a highly-educated Japanese young man who committed suicide by jumping off a building.

It is a true Divine Comedy.

However, due to the temporary addition, the production cost increased, and the final price of this CD single was 1,800 yen, which is higher than the market price.

But now it seems that the price is just a little higher, but it has not affected the enthusiasm of fans, and the sales volume has reached 15,000 pieces in a single day.

Some people may dismiss this sales volume, but in Higashino's opinion, it is already remarkable.

After all, he is a pure layman in music, even if "Lemon" and "Although Our Hands Are Empty" were popular a while ago, but they were only popular on the digital charts, which does not mean that they can win the physical market.

In addition, this is only the first day of sales, and the data has not yet calmed down, and it is estimated that it will rise a lot after that.

So this result has indeed made Higashino very satisfied.

And "Lemon", "Nothing", and "Don't Admit Defeat" are all songs that singers have a flash of inspiration and may have been written after a lot of hard work, and they have all passed the test of the market and public reputation, and it is impossible to stop there.

Tsukasa Higashino put aside the matter for the time being, and at the same time set his sights on his own home.

It seems that considering that Higashino Tsukasa will stay up more or less late at night, Konoe Ryoka has been secretly helping to make supper these days.

Just like today, it was when Tsukasa Higashino was rushing to draft "Unnatural Death", and Ryoka Konoe put a supper on the table again.

It's time to thank you tomorrow too.

Tsukasa Higashino shook his head with a smile as he ate something made by Ryoka Konoe.

You can't always eat for free for nothing, use Konoe Lianghua as a nanny, and then have no gratitude at all, right?
