The Tokyo Bunka Kaikan is divided into a large concert hall and a small concert hall.

The former is usually a dedicated concert hall for classical music such as concerts, ballet, and opera.

The latter is usually a small-scale classical music recital such as chamber music, piano performance, choral singing, etc.

With the entrance at 7:40 p.m., and close to 8 p.m., the stage of the Grand Concert Hall was already full.

It may have been more than 2,000 spectators, but the huge hall was quiet, and people were mostly talking in small voices, and rarely loud noises.

The couple entered the house at standard time, after the sound of the announcement.

Because it is difficult to find a ticket, most of them are reserved tickets, and most of the people sitting next to them are partners, or business tycoons, or dignitaries who come with their wives and daughters.

"Miss Qianhui, your daughter has really inherited your temperament and beauty."

Acting together to the concert hall, the young woman with a radiant face and a dignified and noble appearance was full of praise.

"Miss Junko's daughter is not the same, just like your beauty."

Chie Ninomiya heard her praise and smiled brightly.

They sat in the audience and had a good time.

Naoki Ninomiya, who was on the side, sat calmly and calmly, glancing at the seat not far away from time to time.

It was right in the center of the stage, and Chizuru Ninomiya was sitting there, incomprehensibly beautiful.

As a university teacher, even if she didn't wear a very gorgeous evening dress or heavy makeup, her temperament was too unique.

The more he saw the beauty of his baby daughter, the more he felt bad in his heart.

His daughter is so good, why should she be disobedient and have a relationship with a pianist? And he participated in the MV quietly, and it was announced to the world at once.

A relationship is made public and everyone knows it, if there is any discord in the process of dating, how will it end?

"Mr. Naoki, that is the eldest lady of the Maple Forest Foundation, right?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man with glasses, a neat hairstyle and dress, leaned over and asked.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Ninomiya Naoki followed his gaze and saw the future of Sifeng Temple, who had a transcendent and outstanding temperament, and the maid who accompanied him, and nodded.

"I really didn't expect this concert to even have such a big shot."

Affirmed, this middle-aged man who looked a little bit Sven immediately sighed.

Even if he is an important person in the political circles, the Maple Grove Consortium is still a behemoth to him.

Even more, because the higher you stand, the more you see...... He knew very well how terrifying the Maple Grove Consortium was.

It is no exaggeration to say that Neon's cabinet has many members, all of whom are factions affiliated with the Maple Grove Foundation.

"It's better not to bother her."

Naoki Ninomiya was also deeply surprised by this matter, but he was very self-aware.

Even though he struggled for decades and achieved the leap of multiple classes, he only stood on the second class.

In the face of a behemoth of the level of the Maple Forest Consortium, even he did not dare to disturb rashly.

"I know."

This dignitary is also a person who understands, and that is an existence that they cannot reach.

With the whispered exchange of people, the lights in the large concert hall suddenly dimmed.

"It's about to begin."

With this movement, the little girl who came with her parents was very excited.

It's just that after she got excited, she quickly closed her mouth.

At the same time, the people who were still talking in whispers and talking to each other fell silent when they saw the change in the lights.

Even for those who had never seen a piano recital before, because they were particularly interested in this performance, they investigated a lot of related matters to avoid making mistakes.

Piano recitals, unlike ordinary star concerts, have very strict etiquette requirements.

What's more, even the clothing is particular, such as men wearing suits, women wearing skirts, small dresses or evening dresses, and avoid jeans, slippers and other casual and casual dress.

There is no need for a sign to support, and there is no need to sing along, and the applause is also exquisite, such as not suddenly applauding when the formal performance is exciting.

Applause can only be done after a piano piece has been played, and in special cases, if you want to applaud during the performance, you can only do so at the end of the performance.

In a dark environment, the light will be more noticeable.

The black Steinway grand piano stands at the center of the stage.

Under the guidance of the lights, people have the opportunity to enjoy the piano like a work of art.

At the same time, the photographers scattered throughout the concert hall are silently operating the equipment to shoot the frame.

The big concert hall was quiet, and everyone was waiting, waiting for the lights to come on, for the next changes.

But just when people are waiting for the spotlight to move, or to go off and back on, people who are more adaptable to the darkness vaguely feel that something is moving in the darkness of the stage.

The few people who were shocked by this all started their hearts beat faster, and their eyes were chasing the darkness as if something was moving.

"Click!"

Suddenly, a crisp footstep suddenly sounded, echoing through the audience with the addition of microphones on the stage.

I saw a figure come out in the darkness, stepping into the field of the spotlight and appearing in front of people.

A gentleman's hat, tuxedo, white shirt and black bow tie, and a signature mask.

“！”

appeared quietly and without warning, which surprised most viewers.

As for the small number, those who noticed it in advance were pleasantly surprised.

Unexpectedly, Zero Hour appeared in the spotlight, walked to the piano in two steps, and then turned to face the audience.

He didn't speak, he just looked at the audience, at the camera.

Because of that unique mask and appearance, he couldn't see his demeanor clearly, and his straight posture like a gun looked very solemn and solemn, making people dare not make a loud noise.

The audience who was going to applaud him when he appeared on the stage was all tugging at their heartstrings and bodies at this moment, not knowing what to do.

Compared with the audience at the scene, the audience on the Internet, unlike face-to-face, does not feel so strong, but they are also deeply attracted by his presence, and they dare not look away, for fear that they will miss something.

At this moment, he took off his gentleman's hat at zero hour and bowed to the audience.

His movements are graceful, both in terms of his reach and the curve of his bow, which is natural and elegant.

With this bow, the lights lit up one by one, and in an instant, bright and comforting lights filled the entire hall.

"I'm zero hour, and I would like to thank everyone for tuning in to my concert."

Zero Hour straightened up, gently placed the gentleman's hat on top of his head, and spoke again to the audience.

When his magnetic deep voice sounded, everyone seemed to be awakened to a deep memory.

I'm zero, but anyone who comes to the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan today is very familiar with this opening sentence.

Because Zero Hour has not released an album before this, just because of the single video uploaded on Youtobe, fans will hear this sentence every time they listen to his songs.

The calm and steady tone, the magnetic and deep mature voice, even more recognizable than the mask, is even more familiar.

Light will bring people a sense of security, and familiar things will bring warmth and comfort.

"Bang bang bang!"

The next moment, the audience was boiling, and the applause was like thunder.

This kind of appearance is not flashy or dazzling at all, but the sentence that I am zero hour directly ignited the audience.

Not only that, but the audience who watched this scene on the broadcast platform was also very excited.

Because the opening sentence "I am zero hour" has a very important meaning...... In the process of listening repeatedly, the meaning of this sentence has been attached too much.

It's like a prelude to the sound of nature, and as long as you hear this sentence, it means that the next performance will be wonderful.

At the moment when these words sounded, it was as if they had returned to a familiar place with everyone.

"That's handsome."

When Chie Ninomiya saw this scene, she couldn't help but be amazed, followed everyone, blended into the atmosphere, and applauded actively.

She doesn't know if this is a deliberate design or an unintentional move, but she knows very well that every move, word and deed at Zero Time directly ignites the atmosphere of the audience, and this ability is very powerful.

is different from what I saw in the video before, Zero is very tall and has a good body, not the kind of dry and thin body, otherwise, you can't wear a tuxedo.

And the sound of zero hour is also very good, the key is his temperament, which is different.

"Is this necessary to applaud?"

Naoki Ninomiya found that his wife was also applauding, and he was speechless and disdainful.

He didn't applaud, just looked at the man on stage.

Wearing a mask, no one could notice the change in his expression, nor could they see the change in his gaze.

The lights were still bright, and Hikaru Kurosawa naturally noticed the presence of Naoki Ninomiya.

Maybe he hadn't met before this, and he hadn't even seen the photos, but he still saw that Naoki Ninomiya was Chizuru's father.

Because looking at the audience, he was the only one who did not applaud, and his eyes contained hostility.

Soon, the lights in the concert hall dimmed again, and the spotlights on the stage appeared in the eyes again.

Becoming the protagonist of the stage again, Hikaru Kurosawa turned around and walked towards the piano.

Seeing the action he was about to perform, the applause gradually subsided.

Hikaru Kurosawa, who had finished the hot field, sat down in front of the piano.

Regarding this piano, when he arrived early, he had already tried the sound.

Although he didn't play or rehearse specifically, he had heard the sound of each key and adjusted it, and he was already the most familiar with it.

However, instead of starting to play immediately, he closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly.

The state of the instrument is already perfect, but his state is not yet at its peak.

He wasn't nervous, he might be holding a concert for the first time, but the theoretical knowledge and experience given by the piano made him face such a scene without stage fright at all.

Every well-known pianist has their own playing style, and they will have different unique opinions on the same piano piece.

Playing a piano piece step by step without a bad note may be a proof of excellence, but it does not mean that it is the best performance.

Giving emotion to piano music is the best performance.

The audience who came to the scene and watched the concert on time and on time online, what they wanted to listen to was not as simple as a song, but his piano music.

For today's performance, he has prepared ten piano pieces.

"Flying Bees"

Croatian Rhapsody

"Bell"

"The Mark of the Rain"

Anne's Wonderland

Adelina at the Water's Edge

Autumn Whispers

"Dance of Flowers"

Dream Wedding

Canon Variations

These ten piano pieces, except for "Bell", the other songs are not absolutely complete, and they are not the same as the original, because he can't fully remember the songs he heard in his previous life.

However, with his knowledge of music theory at the level of piano, he reinterpreted and filled in the details of the piano music, which is enough to show their charm.

He doesn't expect the blue to be better than the blue, he just wants to use his own piano skills to interpret his own version.

The moment he acquires permanent skills, he gains not only ability, but also the cultivation and self-esteem of a pianist.

The next moment, Hikaru Kurosawa raised his arms and hung over the keyboard of the piano, pressed his wrists, and his fingers flew to begin the first piano piece of this recital, "Wild Bees Flying"

The fingering, which was so fast that it brought up the phantom, only caught everyone's attention in an instant, and the ears were also deeply attracted by the dynamic beat that followed.

In an instant, the sound of the piano exploded.

Hikaru Kurosawa, who has a proficient piano, actually has the ability to appreciate any piano piece.

If someone asks him, "What kind of piano music do you think 'Wild Bees Flying' is?" ”

His evaluation was: "Beautiful and show-off, unique piano music." ”

Perhaps this piece of piano music is not the most difficult to play, but the advantage of this piece is that the faster it is played, the more exciting the rhythm of the wild bees flying.

Even for laymen, even if they have never listened to piano music, even if they are dismissive of such an antique instrument as piano music, when they see someone in front of them, playing "Flying Bees", they will definitely be attracted to it.

Because the flying bee is not like an ordinary piano music, with the ups and downs, the twists and turns of the design, it can burst out of the climactic power at the moment when the prelude sounds.

When Hikaru Kurosawa began his playing, the large concert hall, which had been quiet, was like a gust of wind blowing, enough to sweep everything in.

"Does he really only have ten fingers?"

"He's so fast!"

The wave of piano sound swept through everything, and people were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The hand speed at zero hour is too fast, so fast that it is jaw-dropping, and it is even more incredible.

The cool and handsome gorgeous performance directly brings people into the world of music.

"How many times did he practice to be able to do it so quickly and without a bad pitch like he is now?"

"It's so skilled that it hurts."

Everyone's preferences and ideas are different, some people are shocked by his fingering and playing, while others are impressed and moved by his skills.

In fact, the wild bee flying performed for the purpose of showing off skills can be as short as tens of seconds, and a minute is considered long.

Because ten piano pieces are not enough to support a concert lasting about 90 minutes, Hikaru Kurosawa also played casually during the performance, adding more variations and loops without affecting the whole, and using different scales to express the song.

For a minute, the audience was blown away and realized that the song was "Wild Bees Flying", only faster than it was played on the Youtobe platform.

Two minutes, the audience is commonplace, no matter how surprising it is, after a long time, it will make people adapt.

For three minutes, the audience was in disbelief, why didn't it stop?

After four minutes, everyone in the audience was numb, wasn't he tired at all?

For five minutes, the audience's hearts had no other feelings than worship.

Can you still play the piano like this?

Looking at the figure on the stage where the hands jumped to bring up the afterimage, and the arms flew sideways but always graceful, the laymen and insiders were shocked.

When the sound of the piano disappeared, the performance of zero hour finally stopped.

At the end of the song, with the dazzling skill and speed of the piano saint, the performance of "Wild Bee Dance" lasted for five minutes, even if the physical fitness was as strong as Hikaru Kurosawa, the ten fingers were numb, and the breathing was a little heavier.

In order to fly the wild bees and deduce his unique charm, he used all his strength.

"How?"

Taking a few breaths, Hikaru Kurosawa's hunched waist straightened up and looked at the audience, wanting to know how the audience would react.

The lights were dim, and the audience was shrouded in darkness and shadows.

Messed up? He doesn't think like this, he has absolute calmness and confidence in his piano skills.

What he wanted to know was how enthusiastic the audience's response would be.

Maybe I can't see his expression, and I can't see his eyes, but this action of raising his head and turning his head is something to understand.

"Bang Bang!"

After a brief silence, with the applause of the first person, the people gradually came back to their senses and followed.

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, the applause of more than 2,000 people resounded throughout the audience, as if to overturn everything.

"It's so exciting!"

"Wow!"

"Zero hour! Zero! ”

This unprecedented, eye-opening and shocking performance is exciting, and it is even more enjoyable.

Everyone's reaction is different, some are in an uproar, some are excited, and some are shocked.

In fact, not all of the people who come here are fans.

There are also some people who buy tickets with a lot of money, ask someone to get tickets, try their best to satisfy their families, and accompany them to watch.

But at this moment, they were also deeply impressed.

"That's amazing......"

Chie Ninomiya was shocked and smacked her tongue.

She has never been very interested in the piano, and she is so busy with work that she has no time to listen to music.

As an investor, she is biased against the profession of an artist.

She knows very well that no matter how glamorous an artist is on the surface, no matter how sought after and loved by fans and people, in front of capital, it is just like that.

And the disadvantage of this profession is very obvious, that is, privacy issues are difficult to guarantee, and private life will be affected.

But before that, she still had a different view of zero hours.

It's not because she's seen those MVs, but in the process of investigating Zero Hour, she found out that behind Zero Hour, there is a mysterious super man standing.

This big man has a lot of energy and can shake the six major mainstream media of Neon.

Zero Time has a background, not an ordinary artist.

As long as there is a backstage, then everything is easy to say...... She insisted on meeting her, just to find out who the superman behind Zero Hour was.

But now, she was impressed by this performance.

Different from the feeling of watching online, the effect and ability of the live performance made her extremely shocked.

She intuitively felt the talent contained in Zero Shi and his unique value.

At this moment, Chie Ninomiya suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look.

This time, she saw Ninomiya Naoki sitting there with a serious expression, although he didn't applaud with everyone, his hands were clasped together and placed on his laps.

"Is he holding back and not applauding?"

Seeing this scene, sharing the same bed for decades, Chie Ninomiya noticed it and couldn't help but feel funny.

This guy is really as stubborn as his daughter's character.

"What?"

Naoki Ninomiya saw the corners of her mouth rise, and suddenly felt angry, and glared.

"We'll see how he reacts when we play."

Chie Ninomiya squinted at him, shook her head with a smile, and didn't argue with him.

She wanted to see how long Naoki could endure.

"How is this wild bee flying different from what I've heard?"

On the other side, while the okra kept clapping, it only felt that the whole person was numb.

"This is the difference between recording and live performance, live performance is not so simple as a scripted performance, there is more room to play, more real, more exciting!"

Shiina Lan is very excited, the feeling of live performance and online listening is different.

If the effect of the scene is the same as the effect of the video on the Internet, then why should everyone spend time and energy to go to the scene?

"That's so cool!"

Hinata has always liked "Wild Bee Flying" very much, and when she saw such a performance, she only felt extremely happy.

"It's worth it."

At the same time, Hikaru Kurosawa stood up and bowed to the crowd of fans in the audience.

In the face of the applause, cheers and excitement, Hikaru Kurosawa's face behind the mask had already appeared with a smile.

Why did he stand here and choose to be an entertainer?

In the past, he didn't want to be an artist, not because he looked down on this profession, nor because he was indifferent to fame and fortune, but because he felt that he might not have this talent.

But that night, the audience was full, and every piano piece could attract thunderous applause, as well as the entry-level singing voice and entry-level piano given by the system, and the appearance of Runa Igarashi, a gold agent, made him find a reason.

Everyone has a dream of stardom, and he is no exception.

Everyone has fantasized about the moment when they became famous, stood on the stage and performed, and received countless applause.

He enjoyed the moment, and the feeling of being recognized and adored by all was an incomparable pleasure and enjoyment.

What is Youth?

Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon.
