I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 162 Ultramarine Play
"When I was in middle school in our country, I joined the band for two and a half years."

Yuechiqian is not inexperienced, she can't tell that she has played in a band for such a long time.

"I can learn."

When it was Shigure's turn, she answered with some embarrassment. There were no modern musical instruments in the Warring States Period, and she was proficient in shamisen, but it was useless.

Really, don't we just want to have a leisurely time as a teacher?Once the light music department is restarted, won't my after-school life revolve around these little girls?
Mr. Kobayashi, who graduated from Kyoto University and had to work for more than ten years before he could work in a private high school, thought with distress in his heart, but on the surface he agreed kindly.

So this is ah!

After listening to Shigure, Fujii understood the process, and arrived home at this time, put their bicycles into the garage, and ended this busy and fulfilling day.

Time passed quickly, during which Shi Yu and the others found the school's chorus department and asked them to record Ultramarine's chorus passages. After nearly two weeks of practice, they barely reached the standard for going on stage.

On the evening before the campus festival, after the last rehearsal in the light music department activity room, Fujii looked at the sweaty Rina Tomosaka, the slightly panting Akane Tsukiike, and the unchanging Shigure. see it.

"Everyone, enjoy tomorrow's school festival."

There were thousands of words for a while, but only this word of encouragement came to his lips. Fujii stretched out his hand, and everyone joined together, shouting cheers.

On October [-]th, Hachioji High School's annual campus festival kicked off.

The life of high school students in the island country is more comfortable than that of social people. On the day of the campus festival, the school is open to the public, so some nearby residents come to watch the fun.

More than 20 members of the performance department performed "From the New World" on the main stage of the auditorium of the campus festival, and won the applause of hundreds of audiences. The rock band in the background came on stage, and it was the turn of the next one to appear on the stage. Light voice.

Fujii opened the express delivery purchased from Amazon, and put a horse head mask on his head while waiting in the backstage of the auditorium. Chances for them to show up, and his life has shined enough.

After the bands in the rock and roll department were crying and howling, the host announced the names of the light music department and summoned them to play.

"The next program is the song of the light music department - Qunqing, everyone, please look forward to it."

The three girls in autumn school skirts came on the stage one by one. When Fujii Shu, who was wearing a horse head mask and the old suit and school uniform, came on stage, it caused a lot of discussion in the audience.

"What is this? A prank band?"

"It feels a little disgusting. Is it too ugly to see people like this?"

"Can you sing well? I haven't heard the song Qunqing, is it an amateur original song?"

"The lead singer is so beautiful! The other two girls are not bad either, are they idol-type bands?"

Shigure stood in front of the main microphone with an electric guitar in his hand, Rina Tomosaka, who had always been carefree, was also rarely serious. Akane Tsukiike tapped the shell of the bass with her fingers, not as relaxed as she looked.

"Everyone, please enjoy the ultramarine of our light music department, let's go together!"

In many big scenes, Fujii shouted into the microphone in front of the electronic organ, and each of them had a microphone in front of them to pick up the sound.

Stepping on the effector next to his feet, Shigure played the first note, Rina Tomosaka played the drums, Fujii followed suit, and Akane Tsukiike played the bass steadily.

"Ah, it's business as usual."

"A time without waves is so boring that it makes people sleepy."

He opened his mouth and sang the first line of the lyrics, which caught his ears like never before. Although the ultramarines of later generations are no longer so beautiful because of repeated playback, but the first time you hear it, you can feel its extraordinary.

"Through the noisy night, today, the morning light always falls on the streets of Shibuya."

Shi Yu's voice was cold and special, and compared to the original song, it felt more alienated. Among the audience who were discussing in the audience, someone had already raised their mobile phone and started recording.

"There is no reason in my heart, an inexplicable emptiness, extremely boring."

Xiao Lin, the music teacher in the auditorium, covered his mouth in surprise. Is this really a song that students can create?The degree of completion is too high!
"But it doesn't matter, that's all, that's all."

Before the climax of the song's chorus, the four members of the light voice approached the microphone at the same time and sang together with the recorded chorus accompaniment.

"Hidden without knowing it, let the real voice echo, and see."

The audience in the audience began to follow along and turned on the flash of their mobile phones, forming a sea of ​​light.

"Even if you pretend not to see it, it's there."

Rina Tomosaka was beating hard, with tears streaming from the corners of her eyes. The hard work during this period was not in vain. God knows how many times she asked her cousin, who wrote three songs in a row and didn't use it, to hurt her.

Yuechiqian, who has a layer of calluses on the inside of her fingers, still maintains the rhythm of the bass, and she will practice for a few more hours after returning from joint practice every day.

The ice on Shi Yu's face gradually melted, and she finally felt a happy mood. Music is the most exciting way to awaken people's passion.

"Ah, use the color of your own choice and let your feelings paint it."

"Although it scares me to be honest with the things I love."

She strums the guitar and smiles as the audience gets into the mood of the song.

"But I seem to have met my real self."

Fujii's piano intervention, professional-level piano skills and master-level appeal swept the audience in the solo.

"Hidden without knowing it, let the true voice echo, come on."

The audience gradually followed. The feeling of struggle conveyed by this song is the best dye to smear youth.

"Even if you pretend not to see it, it's there, at least it's there."

"Even if you pretend not to see it, it actually exists in your heart."

The vocals overwhelmed the instruments, and the whole audience sang the final verse, and the song "Ultramarine" came to an end.

"Thank you everyone, thank you!"

Everyone in the light music department thanked them with the microphone. During the encore sound again, they packed up their equipment and left. They only prepared this song, and there are other clubs to perform later.

"I'm going back first, it's not easy to go later."

After Fujii stepped down from the stage, he slipped away. When he copied this song, he understood the lethality of Ultramarine. Coupled with the appreciation of Shigure and the two beautiful girl members, the audience might block the door after a while.

As soon as he left wearing a horse-head mask, Shigure and the others were surrounded by students from Hachioji High School. Some wanted to sign autographs, and some wanted to take a group photo. A band that can create songs of this quality may not be so convenient in the future Saw it up close.

"Ultramarine? It's a good way to promote it."

On the edge of the auditorium, Hachioji's principal, Sakura, realized that every campus festival, their school has the habit of recording the entire performance, and it will be distributed to every student as a souvenir when they graduate.

In the evening, the YouTube video site uploaded the full multi-camera version of the ultramarine scene officially produced by Hachioji High School. With some incomplete video streaming, plus the excellent songs and the good looks of the band member JK, it became an instant success. trending videos.

"Click!"

In the cool-toned room, the girl whose skin was pale due to long-term inactivity and exposure to the sun, stopped the Sony Walkman, took out the tape with the EVA logo, and let out a long sigh.

She got up and sat barefoot by the computer, put on the Senhai HD800 earphones plugged into the power amplifier inside, and turned on the power.

Another boring day.

Swiping videos on the Internet aimlessly, her eyes are full of tiredness, her father, Nagara Sousuke, has been on a business trip for almost 20 days, and has not returned home yet, and she has also stayed at home for 20 days, without going to school, like What are you protesting about?

"A time without waves is so boring that it makes people sleepy."

Until it stopped in front of a high school performance video page, the girl Nagara Yuki's eyes flashed a light, and when she heard the chorus, crystal clear tears dripped from her cheeks to the tip of her chin, and wet the back of her hands.

"Boom! I'm back, remember to get up early for class tomorrow."

There was a familiar knock on the door, and Nagara Sasuke, who was recuperating from his injuries, put down his lunch box, turned and walked towards the study.

"Well, father, my life can't go on like this."

Nagara Yuki, who has been escaping from reality, said in a low voice, took out a blank tape, made the video on the webpage into audio format, and transcribed it into a high-fidelity tape.

Putting a label with the title of the song Ultramarine on it, and putting it into a Sony Walkman, Nagara Yuki lay on the bed, listening to it over and over again, shrinking tiredly.

Until he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

　Thank you Huan Yu Youyou for your reward.
