Chapter 357: Spiritual Soothing
"Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon" is one of the most well-known of Miyuki Nakajima's many works, and it was once used as a spiritual soothing agent for this society.
This song was originally the theme song of the TV series "Goto Doctor's Clinic", and the silver dragon in the title of the song refers to the main character's bicycle named "Silver Dragon". The origin of the silver dragon's color comes from the protagonist's scalpel.
Because there is no TV series "Goto Doctor's Clinic" in this world, many people will be a little confused at first glance, what is "Silver Dragon"? Is it a virtual finger? Or is it nothing special and just to set the situation up?
For this reason, Kei Fujiwara explained to the arranger team that the silver dragon was the name of the bicycle he rode when he was a student, and that it was named because of its silver and white body. And this song was written by his mother to encourage him to be brave and pursue his dreams.
Not only to encourage him, but also to encourage all the young people on the road of struggle. Because his mother was a teacher, one day he stood on the side of the road and saw countless students speeding by on bicycles, like warriors on the back of a dragon, and he felt something in his heart and wrote this song.
And these words also touched the arrangement team led by Eikoro Yagami, but all teenagers who go to school in Yumoto are indispensable to be accompanied by a bicycle in their youth. Many children from local backgrounds ride bicycles past ridges and lakes are also a vivid picture in their minds.
When I think of this and listen to this song, I suddenly feel a lot of emotion.
But what if you want the audience to understand the meaning of "silver dragon"? Eikoro Yagami fell into thought, although he didn't understand the specific meaning of the silver dragon, and he didn't care, but Eikoro Yagami felt that in order to let the audience better understand the original author's creative intentions, it was better to prompt it.
So the program team arranged that during Rumiko's singing, a teenager in a school uniform rode a silver bicycle slowly across the stage.
Some viewers understood the meaning at once, and some people didn't react yet, but they didn't react and didn't care, and the song still sang into the hearts of the audience.
There is a unique power in the song that seems to inspire the courage and tenacious will in people's hearts.
After singing a song, Aoki Rensuke's mother couldn't help but applaud, while Mr. Aoki subconsciously wiped his tears with the back of his hand.
Aoki Rensuke thought that his father had just laughed at him for being able to listen to a song and cry, so he wanted to laugh at him in turn, but before he could say anything, he swallowed it.
Because he knows that his father is definitely not the only one who is crying by this song today.
To be honest, at this moment, I really need a song like this.
Now, the whole society has finally come to its senses, realizing that the country and society are now in a quagmire, and it may not be possible to get out of it for a decade or two. It is also possible that forty or fifty years, it is not good to say.
In 93, although large enterprises set off a wave of layoffs, there are still a large number of people who do not perceive the atmosphere of decay in society, and although some people perceive it, they feel that this is only a temporary difficulty, and they will immediately re-energize themselves and save money to buy the United States.
….
Today, however, most of the people have finally come to their senses, and their consciousness is getting harder and harder, and it may even get harder.
However, sobriety and sanity mean pain, and in recent years, the atmosphere in society has become more and more depressing, and many people live with a string of tension, not knowing when it will break.
The suicide rate is increasing day by day, and some suicide forests, suicide bridges are gradually becoming famous, and many people will even discuss the topic of "painless suicide" on online forums. At a certain bridge in Kyushu, more than double-digit suicides have occurred here in two years, which has seriously affected the image of the area and the performance of officials.
In order to reduce the suicide rate in this area, local government officials and civil volunteers hung many posters and wooden signs on the bridge to discourage suicide, with some heart-warming words written on them.
"Always believe that life is good!"
"Our future is bright!"
"Think of your parents, think of your family! Think about loving you
People!"
"Is there really nothing in this world that is worth living?"
In less than two months, the number of people jumping off the bridge in the area reached a new high.
According to a suicide who was forcibly rescued by passers-by, he had no intention of dying, but when he saw the slogans, he suddenly couldn't hold back.
As a result, many people have begun to realize that if they want to truly give the people the strength to persist in a desperate situation, these dry slogans alone are definitely not enough. Perhaps only something more resonant can do it.
It is also a coincidence that "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon" may have such power.
In the parallel world, there have been many such works in the music scene, such as "I once thought about a hundred", which directly reduced the suicide rate of Yueben, and there are many songs that have such an effect, "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon" is one of them.
When Aoki Rensuke listened to this song, he also felt something hot flowing in his heart.
Although he avoided the wave of layoffs, he had a very difficult time in the past few years, and although he never thought about jumping into Tokyo Bay, he sometimes couldn't help but fantasize in his heart that it would be better if Ben was bombed by an atomic bomb again, and those bastards of conglomerates and banks would be blown to ashes......
And this song reminded him of his own youth, when he had to ride his bicycle for half an hour to and from school every day, but he didn't feel hard, because he dreamed of becoming the pillar of his family and becoming a pivotal figure.
I haven't become a big name yet, but I'm still young, and I still have a long way to go to fulfill my dreams. And, haven't I become a pillar of my family now?
Speaking of which, Renzhu you guy, it's really amazing!
Thinking of this, Aoki Rensuke smiled slightly.
After singing "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon", my father wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and said, "You can change the channel now."
Aoki Rensuke picked up the remote control and hesitated for three seconds, but he didn't press it, but put it down and said, "It's okay, let's continue watching this, this year's Red and White Song Battle is much better than in previous years."
"That's right." My father suddenly became happy, "After all, it is a show that has accompanied me and your mother for decades, you young people, you will only catch up with the new trends, and you don't know what classics are!"
It's preaching again...... Aoki Rensuke smiled and looked at his father, realizing that his father had also grown a year older.
The show continued to relax, and in the second half, it finally waited for Katsura Arima.
Arima Katsura sings a new song called "Song of Bamboo".
And after this song was sung, it shocked Rensuke Aoki again.
This new song is also good! And, like "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon", it is a song intended to be inspiring, encouraging people to have the spirit of perseverance like bamboo.
After hearing this song, my father couldn't help but nod his head again and again: "This song is also very good, is this the idol that your younger generation likes?" Well, it's not bad."
However, when it comes to this, he also specifically added, "But it's still far worse than Rumiko-sama."
Rensuke Aoki didn't bother to pay attention to him and continued to look at the program list, when he accidentally flipped through the newspaper and noticed another reporter's interview with Eikoro Yagami, the director and producer of the Red and White Song Society.
And Eikoro Yagami emphasized that on the night of the concert, there will be three songs written by a deceased musician, and this musician also has a special identity, that is, the mother of the genius writer Kei Fujiwara.
