Chapter 42: Senior Brother Sees Senior Brother Again
Seeing Yuko Tanaka handing the microphone to Kaede Shirakawa, even Yuji Miyake became interested. "Shirakawa-kun might as well try it, sung by the songwriter himself, it must be another audio-visual flavor."
However, this is not the most painful thing for Shirakawa Kaede, and what is even more amazing is that the owner of the izakaya also cooperated to turn off the vocal part at this time, leaving only the accompaniment.
Just when Yuko Tanaka went to the bar to get the microphone, the boss began to pay attention to this side. When he saw the young girl handing the microphone to another handsome boy, he smiled knowingly, it's good to be young.
Nowadays, karaoke has become popular, and as an izakaya in the bustling area of Shibuya, how can it be without these configurations.
Usually the music is played, and if the guests are interested, they can also improvise and sing a song. It is also a means of attracting guests.
Shirakawa Kaede lowered his head, with a bright microphone in front of him, a stunned Yuko Tanaka in front of him, and Yuji Miyake waiting to be admired on the side. When I looked up, there was the owner and other customers around me who began to look at the place.
There was no way, Shirakawa Kaede could only take it. The New Year's festival has been sung in front of so many people, and now I can't say no.
This "Dragonfly" was originally sung by Kaede Shirakawa in a rock-oriented style, but Polytech Records changed it to a ballad in terms of arrangement.
In the late '70s and early '80s, the trend of RB pop music was idol ballads. In fact, in the final analysis, it is the new music that was born out of the 70s.
As a record company, of course, whatever style is popular, it will make records in the corresponding style. Going with the trend is the easiest way to get the public to pay for it obediently.
Now that the style has changed, Shirakawa Kaede's singing has also been slightly adjusted. is no longer full of indignation like the first time, but instead of helplessness, perhaps vicissitudes.
Ah~ Happy dragonfly
Where are you flying to
…
The genre changes, but the sound remains the same. The thick and warm timbre flows slowly like the clear spring of a mountain stream.
The customers in the store spontaneously put down the dishes and chopsticks, stopped talking, and clapped their hands in tacit agreement.
A middle-aged man in the corner had a surprised look in his eyes, and he looked at Shirakawa Kaede, who sang freely, and a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
"Aizawa-san has a heart of love for talent again?" Another young man in his thirties sitting across from him laughed and joked, he turned his head to look at Shirakawa Kaede, who was singing, and nodded. "The conditions are really good, but our methods are not bad. The timbre is quite recognizable. ”
"Eh" The girl named Fazi who was Cue received, panicked and retracted the gaze that had been staring at Shirakawa Kaede just now. She lowered her head a little shyly, "Wakamatsu-san has won the prize." ”
Wakamatsu gave her an encouraging look, and then continued to spare no effort to sell the middle-aged man opposite, the girl sitting next to him.
"Aizawa-san, please trust me. With the conditions of the method, it will definitely be very popular among young people after its debut. ”
Aizawa Hidezhen smiled wryly, "Wakamatsu-san, every newcomer launched by Sun Music has to be carefully considered. It was discussed collectively by more than 20 planners from all over the company. ”
In fact, Aizawa Hidezhen is not optimistic about this high school girl named Kamaike Noriko from Fukuoka.
He felt that this girl's style was sometimes bold, and she was completely a hot girl. Coupled with a pair of lap legs, the performance on the stage must be greatly reduced.
However, due to years of friendship, he still promised Wakamatsu Muneo to let Kamachi Noriko go to Sun Music for an interview next month.
Putting aside the things in the corner for the time being, after Shirakawa Kaede finished singing the song, everyone applauded enthusiastically. Most of the customers in the store are young people, and everyone's expression is relatively direct.
Bowing slightly, Shirakawa Kaede politely returned the microphone to the boss behind the bar.
"Little brother, welcome to come often in the future." The boss, who was wearing a white chef's hat, greeted him warmly.
"Aligado" Shirakawa Kaede politely returned to his seat, and Yuko Tanaka looked more excited than him at this time, a pair of miniature eyes sparkling.
"It's really unexpectedly good," to be honest, Shirakawa Kaede's performance really exceeded Yuji Miyake's expectations. After all, the composer may know music, but he may not necessarily sing.
And Shirakawa Kaede's performance is not to mention that he is a professional singer, and it should be no problem to debut directly on the idol route. Idols, style and appearance are preferred. As for the level of rapping..., everyone is very tolerant.
"I knew that Shirakawa-kun was a junior brother from Meiji. I should have invited Shirakawa-kun to the show I hosted in the first place, and with the name of the songwriter of "Dragonfly" singing on stage, maybe I could increase the ratings. ”
Yuji Miyake picked up the flask and poured it for Shirakawa Kaede personally, and then the conversation changed and began to tempt him again, "How about Shirakawa-kun, do you want to be on TV." Although it is a local TV station, it has a small audience of several million. ”
Shirakawa Kaede looked at this senior brother Miyake in surprise, "Miyake-san is still a TV host?" ”
"In addition to the host and actors, Miyake-san is also the director of the Super Excentric Theater," Yuko Tanaka intimately explained to him.
Yuji Miyake waved his hand indifferently, "It's just a small theater troupe that has just been established, and it's not worth mentioning." ”
Speaking of the host, Shirakawa Kaede finally reacted to why this senior brother was so familiar.
Wasn't he the host of the famous "Yuji Miyake's Band Heaven" program at the end of the 80s.
It's just that at this time, Yuji Miyake is still a young version, and he is still playing tricks on NHK TV, and the only TV station that has hosted a show is a local TV station like Tamagawa.
The fledgling Yuko Tanaka, the unknown Yuji Miyake. Shirakawa Kaede picked up his glass and drank it all.
Tsk, Tokyo in 1979 was really interesting.
"Senior Brother Miyake, forget it when you are on TV. is still studying, has not debuted, and is not even underage, so it is not suitable. ”
"It doesn't have anything to do with coming of age, eh, no. Are you still drinking as a minor? ”
"Shh~"
"Haha"
Yuji Miyake's ridicule, Kaede Shirakawa's begging for mercy, and Yuko Tanaka's laughter were mixed together, adding a bit of fireworks to this small shop on the corner of the street.
The informal weekday gathering was just a few drinks and then dispersed. Yuko Tanaka and Yuji Miyake continued to return to NHK's studio standby.
Although the filming of today's scene has basically been completed, out of professional habits, I still have to stay on the scene until everyone gets off work.
As for Shirakawa Kaede, he came out of the izakaya and began to walk back leisurely.
When he was a student, he didn't have to go to work or have employment pressure, and he rarely relaxed and enjoyed this leisure. In a few months, there may not be such a good time.
However, before he could go far from the tavern, he was stopped by a middle-aged man.
