Chapter 266: The End of the Kyoto Trip Represents a New Beginning in the Second Year Life (Kyoto Journey: End)
When Ah Ling and Jiu Liuli Xue returned to the pavilion where they soaked their feet with snacks, everyone gathered around eating snacks and chatting for a while, and then continued to move forward.
The season for Sakakihara Raku's entourage to visit is in early spring, in February.
The maple trees in February are in the bud stage, the leaves and buds are just beginning to develop, and the whole tree is just showing new buds.
At this time, it is a pity that you can't see the maple leaves near Kiyomizudera Temple that dye the mountain a fiery red; But from another point of view, Kyoto in autumn is crowded with more people, but in early spring, Kyoto can make people change into beautiful clothes, leisurely walk the streets of the ancient capital, and fully feel the relaxation and joy brought by the early spring air.
People who have changed into yukata make their way up Kiyomizuzaka, and in addition to the various shops on both sides of the road, there are also many tourists stopping to take pictures on the side of the street.
Panting and climbing up, I finally came across the Niomon Gate, a mountain gate as beautiful as a torii gate.
"Come, how about you take a group photo?"
On the pretext of the MV, Sakakihara snatched the camera in the hand of Qi Mingyue and asked them to combine several girls, or stand in front of Nioh Gate to take photos one by one.
The blue sky, the tall vermilion mountain gate, the quaint stone steps.
Dressed in a plain bathrobe, the seven bright moons of the heavenly sea and the nine glazed hairpins of the heavenly sea stood under the majestic Nioh Gate together, with a dignified and elegant posture.
Suzu Sakakiwara and Snow of Amami, two dark green yukata of the same style, one looking at the crow flying in the sky with a blank face, and the other holding the hand of a good friend, and comparing a scissor hand to the camera at the bottom of the stone steps.
After taking a few photos in a row, the two sisters took a few more individual photos of Sakakihara Le, and finally asked passers-by to help take a group photo before continuing the next visit.
Climbing up the stone steps and through the main entrance, the exquisite structure of the towering five-storied pagoda makes Sakakihara happy; Standing at the top of the tower and looking down at the cityscape of Kyoto, Sakakihara couldn't help but marvel at the view of the ancient streets that had been in an upward state, and the high scenery mixed with green leaves.
Next up is the Kiyomizudera main hall, which can be entered for 400 yen.
While walking, Tianhai Qimingyue also popularized science knowledge for everyone:
"Kiyomizudera Temple has a history of more than 1,000 years, but in fact, Kiyomizu-dera Temple is often subject to fires, so the buildings we see today are all buildings that were rebuilt at the beginning of the Edo period, during the Tokugawa Iemitsu period."
"What is the relationship between Tokugawa Ieyasu and this Iemitsu?" Suzu Sakakihara asked.
"Sister-chan, how did you pass the Japanese history exam this semester?"
"Humph! You don't have to ask about this! Anyway, I may still be assigned to a class, after all, there is also the blessing of art points! β
"Ieyasu is Iemitsu's grandfather. Although the two are separated by a generation, Tokugawa Iemitsu's contribution to history is not comparable to Ieyasu's. During his reign, the prestige of the Tokugawa shogunate reached its peak. In the hands of Ieyasu and Iemitsu, the Tokugawa system was established. β
Under the encyclopedia chatter of popular science in July, several people came to the side hall of Kiyomizu Temple, and Sakakihara Le was suddenly asked by Tianhai Qimingyue to go to the dark Buddhist hall to worship, and by the way, touch the iron shoes and tin rods for tourists to touch.
"What are you doing here? I don't need to ask for marriage or anything. β
"This is the birth of the great dark sky, praying for a cause."
"July is really thoughtful."
And then there is the main god enshrined by Shimizu, the thousand-armed Kannon with 11 faces.
Sakakihara looked up, and behind the pitch-black and huge wooden pillars, he knew what it meant to be solemn.
Tianhai Jiu Liuli looked up, and couldn't help but admire: "I heard that you can't see the Thousand-Armed Guanyin Buddha when you come to Kiyomizu Temple, and it will only be open to tourists once every 23 years." β
Sakakihara Suzu pulled the snow of the sky and said excitedly, "Then aren't we super lucky?!" β
"That's right."
"Religion needs faith, everything to decorate with delicacy and luxury, so that people who have never seen it can feel deeply shocked," Tianhai Qi Mingyue was interested in these things, and interjected, and expressed his own opinion, "But whether you believe in religion or not, these gorgeous historical artworks are a part of culture, a part of spirit, and a precious historical property for human beings." β
"I didn't expect July to be so serious."
"I've always been like this. But brother, why do you keep wanting to come to Kyoto? β
Sakakihara put down the camera on his chest and said with a smile: "How can I say that I have never had time to travel alone before, I think about tourism itself, I want to change the environment, and I have to come to Kyoto for a trip. Traveling here is probably one of my goals. β
Further on, there is the Kiyomizudera stage that I have seen the most on the Internet.
It is built on a cliff and is supported by 139 giant trees and is a full four stories high.
This is the most popular spot in Kiyomizudera Temple, and in addition to tourists who come here to take pictures, you can also see many students and couples visiting here.
"Brother! Dude is here to shoot! β
"Got it, got it."
Sakakihara walked over to Suzu Sakakihara, who was holding the guardrail. The mountain breeze ruffled the hair on Sakakihara's forehead, and he looked under the blue sky, where he could see the mountains covered with maple trees and the cityscape of downtown Kyoto. The red three-storied pagoda is on the left side of the line of sight. It's full of condescending exhilaration.
At the moment, there is a quaint temple street, and in the distance there is a modern city full of high-rise buildings.
With these two different styles appearing in front of him at the same time, Sakakihara knows why this place is so popular.
"The scenery here is completely different from Tokyo!" Amami Kururi held Sakakihara's hand.
"It's very different. I also understand the mood of the glass.,Compared to the busy city streets every day.,It's a lot quieter around, right? β
"Hmmm! I feel that once in a while, the mood is much better! See different landscapes and see different landscapes. β
Tianhai Qimingyue interjected faintly: "In the past, I pulled my sister out, but my sister didn't dare~~"
"Why is that?" Sakakihara asked.
"It's not that my sister has to listen to her mother and practice the piano. Now, my sister only listens to my brother. β
Tianhai Qi Mingyue's words seemed to be deliberately said to the two of them, and Sakakihara couldn't even tell whether she was jealous or not for a while.
This trip to Kiyomizudera Temple in Kyoto, the trip to Mt. Otowa was quite smooth and calm, except for Suzu, who would shout out loudly when she saw some new and shocking scenes, the overall atmosphere was bland and harmonious.
After descending the mountain, several people went to a hot spring inn to rest.
At this time, it was very close to the time to release the MV promised to fans on the Internet.
Sakakihara turned on the computer and checked all the materials accumulated in the past few days, such as motorcycle riding, Osaka tours, and mountain climbing in Kyoto.
The five of them gathered in front of a computer to discuss passionately, and they all put forward their opinions according to the requirements of the MV and the overall atmosphere of the song.
There are more than 10 hours of various footage videos in total, and hundreds of photos and group photos of the five members of the band.
There is a meeting at Tokyo Station;
There is a picnic camp at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture;
There is the fish inserted in the river, the two people on the shore help Sakakihara Raku cheer, and the joy when he inserts the fish;
There are special advertisements seen in Osaka Castle, special food courts, and special sunset night scenes;
The final point of today's trip is a mountain climb at Kiyomizudera Temple in Kyoto.
The MV begins with the meeting of five teenagers and girls who have never known each other, and tells a story about everyone saying goodbye to their troubles, traveling as a team, and each gaining something in this journey.
The video, which was often only five minutes, was discussed and cut for several hours, and the small dining table on the tatami mat was already full of eating plates, and the snow of the sky and sea was trapped next to the table, and Suzu Sakakihara was directly sleepy and lay on the floor.
Only Tianhai Jiu Liuli and Tianhai Qi Mingyue were still around Sakakihara Le and kept watching him operate and giving opinions.
However, the truth is that it wasn't until noon the next day, after sleeping for three hours, that Sakakihara Raku finished cutting the first version, and in the sun that was close to noon, he sent the email of Miss Yoshihara, the guide of their band.
Five minutes later, Sakakihara received her reply.
[You're just cutting out the film now?] You recorded this footage shortly after? ]
[I went on a trip and rode all the way from Tokyo to Kyoto, and I was able to accumulate MV material along the way.] ]
[Not bad!] It's quite romantic, motorcycle riding! From Tokyo to Kyoto, it sounds chic. Although the editing is still a little rough now, I can see that your MV has such a youthful flavor. ]
Sakakihara laughed at the phone screen: [Oh? Are the seniors also looking forward to the day when the MV is released? ]
[Haha, Xiaole, you are still ridiculing your predecessors.] Let's not say I'm looking forward to it, but the group of people on the Internet have been waiting for you, the video under the official account of Zeppo Tokyo has exceeded 10 million views, and you've seen it before, the uncle band, they were originally a very popular band in recent years, and the new song released this time has topped the Japanese public trust chart! It's to be expected, but it's a bit exaggerated at this time, guess why I'm talking about that? ]
[Our rookie band is also gone?] Sakakihara tapped the phone's keyboard and clicked the send button.
[That's right!] That's right! You guys are in luck, too! It was originally the underground stage of Zeppo that debuted, and with the elements of high school students, beautiful girls, twins, and three-no guitarists, there are too many people on the Internet who are curious about you. This check, what kind of popular voice actors, twin girls from famous classical music families come to engage in pop music, and other topics emerge endlessly. Someone actually found out that I had something to do with you, and came over to ask you what was going on with the band, and the fire was too sudden. ]
Fire?
Sakakihara Leke does not have the advocacy of Yoshihara's predecessors, in fact, according to the current level of discussion on the Internet, they are just a small hit with the songs they wrote with the selling point of beautiful girls and Qijiu's good musical skills.
Ah, and add the factor of performing on the same day as the uncle band, so the discussion has to be pushed up to the level of "small fire".
Yoshihara Nao:
[When are you going to come back?] In the case of a newcomer band, it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot, perform more, or make more tunes. ]
[I'm going to go back tomorrow.] ]
[Okay, come on!] How did you come up with the slogan? RUNTOοΌ Walk into your heart~]
[Yoshiwara-senpai, our band doesn't have a slogan at all.] ]
[Hahaha, keep it up!] As for your MV, it's actually preliminarily formed, you send me your account and video material together, I'll find an acquaintance to help you take a look, and I'll send it to you before tonight]
[Then thank you, Yoshiwara-senpai.] ]
[Little things.] ]
After sending the band's Twitter account password and the video footage previously shot to Yoshihara's seniors through an email click, Sakakihara was relieved.
He stretched out in the early morning light and glanced at the men who had laid out four floors in the room and slept next to each other.
Seven and Nine are separated by a few places, and their sleeping positions are harmonious and stable.
Sakakihara Suzu was directly with Zhixue, and Ah Ling's legs were on Tianhai Zhixue's body, sandwiching her under her legs, which looked very messy.
Sakakihara Le's right hand left the mouse, his hands propped up the small wooden table, and his legs were numb, and he moved to the barricade of the hotel and reached out to pull it away.
"Huh!" A bang.
Sunlight shines through the shade of the trees.
Sakakihara subconsciously blocked his squinted eyes with his hand, and only put his hand down after he got used to it a little.
A gentle breeze blows through the emerald green peacock cypress.
The sunlight shining from the branches and leaves also swayed slightly with the wind.
Below the hotel on the second floor is the ancient capital street where tourists flow.
After taking a breath of fresh air here, Sakakihara turned around and looked at the few people who were still sleeping and smiled and said:
"It seems that this trip to Kyoto is quite smooth."
In the evening, Yoshiwara's seniors sent a message saying that the MV had been officially uploaded, and Sakakihara was already organizing everyone to pack their bags and prepare to fly back to Tokyo by plane.
The motorcycle will be checked in and sent back by air. Not bad money anyway.
In the early morning of the last day of packing up his things, Sakakihara received a message from the system that the task of 1 million playbacks of the new song had been completed.
50,000,000 yen in capital and finance Lv4 (Master) have been distributed.
Even Sakakihara Suzu held her mobile phone and said to Sakakihara in surprise, "Our video has 1 million views so quickly?" "I was really surprised.
In the cabin just before the plane takes off.
"July."
"How."
"From now on, I'm going to work harder than before."
"Enlightened?"
"That's right."
"What you said to me yesterday afternoon."
"I've got my own considerations."
"Hmph, it seems that you still listened to my advice."
"July, it's just that I suddenly feel like I'm not qualified to say that right now."
Tianhai Qi Mingyue stopped looking at him, closed his eyes and recuperated, "It's good to understand." β
In this way, the trip to Kyoto of several people officially burned out in the roar of the plane taking off.
However, the trip to Kyoto has come to an end.
But the few people who returned to Tokyo didn't have much to do with it.
The band needs to keep practicing, keep running, keep performing, keep making new songs.
The busy crowd ushered in the last semester of the first year of high school, and as they had more and more band activities and performances during the last semester of the first year, the status of the five members who were already famous in the school rose even higher.
Tianhai Qi Mingyue is still the same, no one dares to talk to her, but there is an extra title of "cold drummer" in the name of Miss Qinggao.
And Tianhai Jiu Liuli, who has always been kind, will be asked by some classmates every day why he suddenly joined the band.
Suzu Sakakihara happily and elegantly enjoyed everyone's popularity, and was continued to be named an angel voice actor and an angel lead singer.
And the snow of the sea - well, the snow of the sea is not very good at talking to people, and some bold classmates tried to ask her for a while at the beginning, but they were in a daze when she said two words, and they didn't know what to say.
[Miss who can't talk to anyone] - this is the special position of Zhixue in the school.
And as the last semester of the first year quietly departed, Sakakihara Raku's performance was particularly outstanding.
He was discussed by a group of male classmates, and secretly pushed to the top of the so-called "Mingde Yijuku is now full".
It is often secretly said that you are surrounded by shining beautiful girls all the time, and campus life is extremely fulfilling.
During the two months of this final semester, he kept a good relationship in mathematics, ancient literature, world history, chemistry. He was the top three in all cultural subjects and the first in physical education, and at this level, he often attended the band and maintained high-intensity music practice every day.
He led the band RUNTO to appear on stage 16 times and composed 8 new songs.
The band's fame is getting louder and louder on the Internet, and fans have increased from tens of thousands of followers at the beginning to millions of followers.
If someone asks about the band RUNTO at Matokutoku, they will think of the top five members of the school's social status.
Even the principal and the board of trustees presented them with a special cultural award, and thousands of students from all over the school watched Sakakihara Raku calmly walk up to the college lecture hall with his four daughters, and as the leader of the band and the outstanding member of the school's learning, he received the honor of recognition and fame from the principal.
There were occasional discordant whispers under the podium.
"That's the top spot in the school?"
"Shhhh You keep your voice quiet, don't you know that many girls in the school are his fans? Beware of being gossiped about, just applaud. β
"Yes, yes, yes"
The boy quickly gagged and stroked his hands on his chest with the wave of applause as Sakakihara's thank-you speech ended.
"Thank you." Sakakihara stood to his feet.
Principal Tachibana Kiyohara slowly approached, he stood still, stretched out his hand and smiled at Sakakihara and the girls behind him, and said, "Come, Sakakihara-san and everyone will take a group photo in front of the stage, this is also a very important moment." β
In this way, Sakakihara Le finished his thank-you speech alone, held the trophy in his hand, and led the four bright girls with different personalities, who were also dressed in college clothes, such as Tianhai Jiu Ruri, Tianhai Seven Bright Moon, Tianhai Snow and Sakakihara Suzu, in the gaze of thousands of students in the lecture hall and endless applause, left a historic group photo with the principal, and pulled down the curtain of the first year of high school life.
Time quietly came two months after the trip to Kyoto
Meitoku High School is located on April 1 every year, when the cherry blossoms bloom in early spring.
