297. I once traveled as a teenager
She was going to put it into her book. Even though her new book has just come out, and the sales volume is quite good, she has not changed the plot, and forcibly expanded the plot volume of the two books to four, five or six copies.
Although the climax of the second half of the plot falls on a piano competition, she can write a separate plot of piano practice between the hero and heroine, and then she can use this piece in it.
After all, her protagonist can be regarded as a musical genius, right? After so many years of precipitation, under the guidance of the heroine, she gradually came out of the shadows, even if she created such a beautiful tune, it should be reasonable.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't know why she suddenly had such an idea. Perhaps, all writers have the problem of collecting writing materials from various places.
……
Yamada came in casual clothes this time.
More than a month ago, he was aroused by the song "butter-fly" by the teenager on stage, and he came here much more often than before.
Because Jiang Yu's working hours are at night, he also changed his schedule, except when he is too busy with work, he will choose to come here at night to sit.
A few days ago, when he passed by this café on his way to work, he found the notice that the other party had restarted recruiting night pianists, and he thought a little lost: Maybe this pianist will not come again?
Then he saw the announcement of the event, and Yamada, who was a planner himself, thought about it slightly in his mind, and quickly guessed the situation today. Therefore, he tried to finish his work in advance a few days ago, and today he finally set aside an evening to attend the "farewell ceremony" of the pianist who once touched his heart.
At the beginning, the host's performance made Yamada a little unbearable. Anyway, he is the manager of a conference club, so he naturally planned and held some activities. But this style of host is really ...... Unheard. But if I hear it a lot, it's also a little interesting.
After Jiang Yu began to play, Yamada's eyes subconsciously locked on the other party, and when he heard this slightly sad melody, he couldn't help but look away and raised his head slightly.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the girl in the next class he liked when he was a student, and remembered the childish and sincere love letter that fluttered in the wind of the years.
……
Jiang Yu didn't realize that this time he chose to sit in a corner of the Kasumigaoka Shiyu, because the difficulty of playing the music was very low, he had the leisure to pay attention to the facial expressions of each audience during the playing.
Most of them had an indifferent expression. But thinking about it, no matter how difficult life is, since he is already a so-called "social person" who has been crawling in society for many years, no matter how turbulent the waves in his heart cannot be calmed, he still has to remain quiet on his face.
After all, this is what adults are called.
A small number of people showed complicated expressions on their faces, thinking that the song evoked some of the past buried deep in their hearts, and they couldn't help themselves for a while.
Jiang Yu paid special attention to Megumi Kato's expression, and after finding that the other party's face was still as flat as ever, he sighed slightly in his heart.
Although he keeps saying inexplicable things such as the other party's "weak presence" and "the role is not clear", he occasionally makes the other party show an expression that he didn't expect, and that inner sense of accomplishment ...... Don't say it, it's really exciting.
Thinking like this in his heart, Jiang Yu's movements in his hands did not stop, and with a few legato at the end, this song can be regarded as the curtain has come to an end.
At the end of the song, Jiang Yu did not stop, and immediately played a transitional piano piece, which was one of Chopin's etudes, which was intended to let the emotions of the guests around him have a buffer process and at the same time warm up his hands.
The next series of songs, all of which were widely circulated after the piano masters wrote them down in the past, are a bit arrogant to say that they are mediocre, but it is true that there is no sense of surprise. After all, they are all tunes that Jiang Yu played in his previous part-time job.
After keenly perceiving that the atmosphere in the café had gradually flattened, Jiang Yu took a deep breath and suddenly interrupted the piano song he was playing and changed it to another tune.
As soon as the slightly lively and cheerful prelude sounded, it instantly attracted the attention of most people. Everyone on the stage, whether they were chatting or writing, or doing something else, involuntarily raised their heads and looked at the young man playing the piano in the center of the stage.
More than 20 seconds of prelude fell, the young man's fingers seemed to be flying on the keys, leaving traces of light or heavy, and the next second, with an obvious pause, Jiang Yu slowly spoke:
"Running on the way home, the children laughed and laughed
Kicking the stone on the tip of his toe
The way home that came and went
……”
The song is called "ぼくら", which translates to "we".
This is the theme song written by Shunji Iwai, a well-known director of the island nation in the last world, who served as the supervisor and produced the three-episode anime "Town Youth" for Tonork.
Shunji Iwai may not be very impressed, but if you know a little bit about the film industry in the island nation – and I mean the pretty serious side – you've heard of "Love Letters," a film that has since been praised by all walks of life.
Shunji Iwai is the director of "Love Letters". By the way, it was his film debut.
Of course, even if you haven't heard of this movie, as a two-dimensional otaku, you must have heard of "Fireworks", an anime movie directed by Akiyuki Shinbo. "Fireworks" is an adaptation of Shunji Iwai's children's TV series "Fireworks", which he shot for a Fuji TV series one year after graduating from university.
Although the quality of the movie itself is not very good, but the theme song can't stand up to sound good, isn't it? So I want to say something here - Eighth Master, do you have to have children?
Cough...... It is Neon's largest magazine and website for finding part-time jobs, and it can be said that finding a part-time job on Tonork is the first step for almost every Neon teenager to enter society. For the first time, I earned the first income in my life with my own strength, and experienced the difficulty of life, as well as responsibility and responsibility.
Therefore, the three-episode anime short film that Tonork invited Shunji Iwai to produce may not only promote himself, but also use this kind of pop culture that gradually radiates from neon to the world to achieve the purpose of warning young people.
I haven't seen the anime Jiang Yu in the last world, but now...... Apparently I didn't have a chance to see it. But this song, on the contrary, has been preserved in his playlist for many, many years.
He used to come across this song when he was in his mid-twenties. I was immediately attracted by this brisk style, and then I looked at the lyrics carefully, and I loved this song with mixed tastes in my heart.
Although the popularity of this song was not high in China when it was in the last world, this did not prevent Jiang Yu from respecting it.
After all, it's hard to say what kind of mentality Shunji Iwai had, filling in such a seemingly innocent, but actually heart-wrenching sentence for such a cheerful tone. And this kind of behavior just hit the soft heart of Jiang Yu, a half-literary youth.
As Jiang Yu's singing deepened, the adults around him who were basically stepping into the society couldn't help but gradually become silent from interest. The originally subtle voice of speech gradually became almost inaudible.
“……
If one day goes by
We've become ordinary adults
Can you still be the way you are now?
……”
The seemingly innocent words only reveal the uncertainty and some worries about the future of young people who have just stepped into society.
However, such a song is not too lethal for young people. It is often those "social people" who have been trained in the society for several years can better understand the deep unwillingness and the emotion of the passage of time contained in such relaxed words.
How many people in the world have ended up living as they imagined?
And how much of the ambition you made when you were a child was accomplished in the end?
Most people's lives are in a process of lowering expectations. When I was a child, I wanted to become a scientist, but later I found that I was not as smart as I imagined, and when I became an adult, I just lived as an ordinary person. Not only is he running around for his work, but he is also worried about firewood, rice, oil and salt.
You are not a ranger in martial arts, you can live your life with a sword and a horse. "Nine times out of ten, life is not as expected", this saying has been passed down through the ages, although pessimistic, but it is very true.
That's why there are so many old people, after living their ordinary lives, when they are at the end of the long rope of life, they will recall with nostalgia the frivolous years they once had.
Just as Agarwood finally put on the mask of the god of justice, he became the Erlang God he hated the most. Most people, in the end, just became the most hated version of themselves back then.
……
Originally, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was quite excited because of the idea he had just come up with, couldn't help but become complicated when he heard this song, which couldn't be said to be positive or negative.
She wasn't twenty years old yet; She is a well-deserved first place in the grade of Fengzhiqi College, and she is also the flower of Kaolin that is longed for by many juniors; At the same time, she is also Kasumi Shizi, a best-selling author who has gradually gained a foothold in the industry.
Even so, hearing this song, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's heart still inevitably swelled with a pessimistic mood.
She's so dazzling now, but in a few years, will she still be what she is now?
People don't step into the same river twice, and nothing in this world is set in stone.
Perhaps, with the passage of time, she will eventually become an ordinary housewife, who can raise her husband and children at home with peace of mind. Occasionally, when cleaning, I turned out what I wrote about the best-selling year, but I just let out a sigh, and after a moment of nostalgia, I began to devote myself to the housework at hand.
An irrepressible panic almost made Kasumigaoka Shiyu a little breathless.
She is in her third year of high school this year, and she is immediately facing the college entrance examination and the problem of how to choose a university. Although due to her excellent grades on weekdays, she should be able to avoid the central exam and be directly recommended by the school to be sent to some universities. But in those colleges, can she really be what she imagined to be?
No one knows the answer.
……
“……
It's been two years and two months since his twentieth birthday
Confused, walking the path that he can't figure out
It's finally come to this
But there was no end to it
……”
Since there is no microphone, Jiang Yu can be said to rely on his own volume and light piano sound to play. And as the singing deepened, the café gradually became silent. As a result, in the huge space, only the cheerful piano sound remained, and Jiang Yu's relaxed tone of singing.
Mizuno Ayane, who came here today not as a clerk, but as a customer, sat down on the stage with her hands on her cheeks, listening to the songs sung by Jiang Yu on the stage, and her face gradually changed from relaxed and happy at the beginning, and became heavy.
If Kasumigaoka Shiyu is a little confused, then Mizuno Saion's heart is quite sincere and fearful.
It's just Mizuno Aya in her early twenties.,Although I'm always laughing and casual on weekdays.、There's no right way.。 But it would be impossible to say that he cares nothing about his future.
Otherwise, she would not have used her spare time to work in this café.
However, even now, she is quite unsure about her future. She seems to have lost her purpose, and although she keeps trying, she doesn't know what she's trying for.
But there was no end to it...... Is it?
Mizuno had a self-deprecating smile on her face, as if she hadn't reached any of the goals she had set for herself......
However, fortunately, she met the most important person in her life early.
Thinking like this, the slight loss on Mizuno Ayane's face inadvertently turned into a happy smile.
……
Megumi Kato, who was sitting closest to Jiang Yu in the audience, didn't feel much in her heart when she heard this song. Compared with other people's sighs, her only two feelings are probably - "it sounds good" and "it seems to be a little sad".
As Megumi Kato, who only hopes for her future life, ordinary and smooth sailing, it seems really difficult for her to understand the confusion and feelings revealed in the song.
However, perhaps it is precisely because of this attitude to life that Megumi Kato has always maintained his usual style, getting along with a group of school figures in the same club, and making unremitting efforts for a seemingly whimsical goal.
Just as in this world, there will always be a sigh of "once a young man"; There will never be a shortage of people in this world, like Megumi Kato, who walks at their own pace and step by step to the end of their desires.
