- Chapter 241 The first street flash mob on Christmas Eve (1)
“Suzuki, you’re saying that you want me to be your band’s consultant?”
In the port area, inside a high-rise residential building.
Nao Yoshihara, who was wearing a homely woolen sweater, held a lollipop in her mouth, leaning her upper body forward and resting her elbows on her knees. She felt keen interest in the topic raised by the junior in front of her.
She narrowed her eyes and smiled with her little tiger teeth.
“Yeah.” Suzu Sakakihara, who had just visited, clasped her hands in front of her seniors and nodded obediently, “Don’t you, seniors, always talk about the band you played in college? It was still a fairly famous team at the time.”
Sakakihara Suzu had heard other seniors chatting while working.
They said that Miss Yoshihara was quite famous as a guitar vocalist in college, and the band she formed with her classmates even won a gold medal in a national competition.
It’s a pity that it was short-lived, because the band had to disband on the spot due to the health of its teammates.
“Well, it’s really a pity to say it, ha~~”
Not long after Nao Yoshihara got up, she yawned, raised her waist, and stretched. Then she relaxed instantly, held the lollipop and sighed, “Oh, I can obviously go further. But it ended early, saying that a lot of youth, passion, and dreams are no match for physical defects. It is indeed a pity.”
Yoshihara Nao sighed with emotion while eating a lollipop in her mouth, and then asked Sakakihara Suzu:
“Who is in your band?”
“My brother, my two sworn sisters, and one. She should be regarded as my aunt.”
“Is Sakakibara-kun here too?” Nao Yoshihara laughed, “There are also the three eldest ladies of the Amami family, right?”
“Huh? Senior, do you know them?” Sakakihara Suzu found that senior seemed to know them.
“It’s hard not to know them in the political circle of my family.” Nao Yoshihara shook her head and said, “But then again, Suzu-chan, your stepfather is actually the eldest son of that family. If your identity is spread to the office, there will definitely be no one.” If you dare to gossip behind your back, what happened before will never happen.”
Sakakihara Suzu heard something behind her senior’s words, and her eyes flashed with doubts.
Yoshihara Nao noticed the light in her eyes and asked curiously: “You haven’t forgotten, have you? Weren’t Yumi and Nimura gossiping about you behind your back some time ago?”
“That’s it”
Sakakihara Suzu remembered the two female seniors gossiping about her in the bathroom.
Not only did he say it, but he also conveyed the bad things about them to other male voice actors in a subtle way, saying that he relied on certain aspects to get to the top.
As unpleasant as it sounds.
However, the result is good. There will be a long period of time when they will not get any roles. Although their lives will not be over here, they don’t know how many years of progress they will be delayed.
But why do seniors know so clearly?
Sakakihara Suzu was already suspicious because they suddenly stopped gossiping about her.
“Could it be said that he is a senior?”
“It’s not me, it’s your brother who asked me to do it.”
“.”
“Ling-chan, your brother actually cares about you very much. Last time he sent you to the company, he even bent over and asked Nanami and I to take care of you. This is also a favor he asked me to help you with.”
Sakakihara Suzu didn’t know that Sakakihara Raku was so concerned about her matter.
It turns out it was all because of that guy.
“Hi~ Suzu-chan, Suzu-chan, Suzu-chan~~”
Nao Yoshihara waved in front of Sakakihara Suzu three times in a row before finally calling her back to consciousness.
“As for doing your consultant’s work, it’s not impossible.”
“Really?”
“The premise is that you introduce your brother to me. Your brother is quite handsome and suits my taste.”
“.no.”
“Ah~ Suzu-chan, are you jealous?”
“.No.”
Yoshihara Nao’s little tiger-toothed smile became even brighter.
“Okay, I’m just kidding. Since Suzu-chan is asking me to do the band thing, there’s nothing I can do about it. Besides, it’s not a bad thing to know someone who knows the Amami family.”
“Senior agreed?”
“Barely, the band, I really miss it. I have to go and see how your band is doing, and then you have to promise to listen to me when it comes to band decisions and implement what I say.”
“Of course there’s no problem with that. After all, I’m a guidance counselor.”
“I don’t have the chance to take care of you during working hours, so you should remember this.”
“Of course this is the case.”
“Okay, let’s go!”
“Huh?! Now?”
“What else? Today is a white Christmas, and I plan to treat you to a meal. Let’s go!”
“Okay, okay!”
*
1024 Roppongi 7-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo.
Sakakibara Raku, who was still practicing with his bass in his arms, did not expect that Suzu would directly invite Yoshihara-senpai over the next morning.
“Good morning, senior.”
“Hey, you chose this place pretty well.” After Yoshihara Nao came in, she held her chin and looked around, and began to visit the various equipment in the music room. Her eyes first fell in front of Amami Nanamigetsu. On a set of drums, “Yamaha’s RC? Oh! You can actually buy this classic style.”
Then I saw Jiuliuli’s electronic keyboard.
“EW425?”
Then there’s the bass played by Raku Sakakibara and the electric guitar played by Amami Noyuki.
“BBP34 and SG1820” Nao Yoshihara finally withdrew her gaze and thought, “How come they are all expensive musical instruments, and they are all Yamaha.”
“After all, we went out to buy it together,” Raku Sakakihara nodded towards Nao Yoshiwara, “Good morning, senior.”
“Sakakibara-kun! Good morning,” Nao Yoshihara also greeted her seriously, “It’s been a long time since I last saw you. Why haven’t you visited your sister’s office recently?”
Sakakibara smiled and said: “I usually go there, but I’m usually at the entrance of the office, so I didn’t get to see senior.”
Teeth are white, Suzu-chan’s brother smiles too much for her liking.
Nao Yoshihara tried her best to maintain her facial expression:
“Oh, that’s right. So Sakakibara-kun is the leader of this team?”
“Barely, senior, let me reintroduce you to the band members and their current responsibilities in the band.”
“Yeah.”
Although it was not the first time they met, it was the first time Yoshihara Nao came here, and Sakakihara Raku carefully introduced everyone’s identities.
Regarding Yoshihara-senpai, Sakakihara Suzu deliberately learned about it online when Suzu went to ask for his opinion.
In one sentence, Yoshihara-senpai is a genuine senior.
Not only was he quite capable in the band during his college days.
As the lead singer, she had several hits in the past. Later, the band disbanded, and then she entered the field of voice acting.
As a former C position, her experience in the band is much higher than that of several people present.
There is nothing wrong with being a consultant.
After Yoshihara-senpai learned about the band, he narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, “It’s very good, it has the atmosphere of a high school band.”
Then she asked several people to try out a solo rhythm in front of her.
She didn’t comment, just silently observed everyone’s performance.
After Sakakihara’s bass attempt was completed, Yoshihara Nao clapped her hands and motioned for everyone to look at her.
“I already understand the general situation. First of all, I need to confirm, what is your goal?”
“Budoka.”
“Budokana?” Nao Yoshiwara’s expression was ordinary. Although this goal is too far away for high school students, she thinks it is a good thing to have such an ambitious goal. “That must be the ultimate goal. With your current strength, It’s impossible. Are there any staged goals?”
Although Sakakibara doesn’t know much about rock bands.
But he still has interim goals.
“Successfully completed an ensemble performance on an underground stage.”
“Oh! There is quite a direction! Well, then what are you going to do?” Nao Yoshihara twitched her back and glanced at the five people with different personalities in front of them.
“Practice as hard as you can and prepare for the next performance.”
“How long have you been practicing?”
“It’s been a week.”
“Have you ever tried playing in an ensemble?”
“I tried, but the problem was huge and the cooperation was not very good.”
“Is there any insider channel?”
“This does not.”
“Yeah, I understand. This is what you need most right now. After all, performances require a venue. If you don’t know anyone, why don’t you confirm again? You all have a foundation in music theory, right? Only Qi Mingyue’s drum set is learned from scratch. musical instrument.”
“Yes.”
“Well, since you have acknowledged that I am such a guide, I will give your little team a meeting gift.”
Meeting gift?
Sakakihara suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Nao Yoshihara laughed, and her little tiger teeth were exposed. She playfully stretched out a finger: “Today, Christmas night, in Shinjuku, there is a street flash mob!”
“.”
“.”
“.”
Everyone was silent.
“Don’t be so lethargic! Cheer up!” After saying that, she happily took a selfie and said, “Applause, applause!”
“Eh——?!” Sakakihara Suzu took the lead in elongating her voice.
Street flash mob?
Or on Christmas Eve?
Sakakibara hugged Bess and couldn’t help but ask: “Senior, are you sure?!!”
“Yes, sure.”
This outrageous decision even made the usually steady Tianhai Jiuliuli express his opinion: “But senior, our band has only been established for a week. We practiced separately before, and we just tried to play together yesterday. With our current level, we can’t play together for a long time.” If you can’t even perform the song well, how can you suddenly run into a flash mob on the street?”
Yoshiwara Nao waved her hand: “Don’t worry, don’t worry, besides, Jiuliuri, you and Qi Mingyue are famous piano girls, and I don’t know how many fans they have outside. A Ling also has a very good voice, and you don’t know how many fans on Twitter want to Ask her to sing a cover song.”
“But senior, that’s classical piano, not pop rock.” Tianhai Jiuliuli said seriously.
“It’s all the same.” Nao Yoshihara waved her hand again.
“.”
“senior–“
Raku Sakakihara wanted to say something more, but Nao Yoshihara put her hands together and interrupted him with a “pop” sound:
“Okay, that’s it! It’s not noon yet, you should hurry up and rehearse. At six o’clock in the afternoon, I will call a car to transport the instruments. At seven o’clock, there will be a flash mob. Come on and practice! I will go to the street Go buy some food, bye~~”
There was a snap.
The door closed, and all that was left were the people in the classroom looking at each other.
“Ah!! Yuki, Yuki!” Suzu Sakakihara pinched Amami Yuki’s slender shoulders and shook her back and forth.
“Yeah.” Tianhai Zhixue responded dully, his head swaying back and forth in accordance with her movements.
“What should I do? I’m going to go to the streets with my brother and the others to do a flash mob!”
“What is that?” Tianhai Zhixue shook her head, making her voice sound a little choppy.
“It’s just an unexpected performance!” Suzu Sakakibara said loudly, “You don’t know how social that thing is. You suddenly run up to a bunch of people and suddenly say that you want to perform in front of them. If the performance is good, it’s okay. It’s a performance. No. Can you imagine a bunch of people watching you and shaking their heads at you?!”
“It’s nothing.”
“It’s nothing, it’s super serious, okay! I’m still the lead singer! I have to stand at the front! What if the fans recognize me?”
Compared to Suzu’s frenzy, Sakakihara Raku is much calmer, but that’s all.
He felt bitter.
If anything yesterday’s ensemble was shit.
So today, on this Christmas Eve, they are going to show this shit in front of passers-by on the street.
It’s as embarrassing as you want, okay?
Amami Kuruuri also smiled bitterly at Sakakibara Raku and said, “It’s a bit forced.”
“How are you getting used to the electronic keyboard, Jiu Liuli? Compared with the piano, is there any difference?” Raku Sakakihara, who had a bass strap hanging around his neck, turned to ask.
Tianhai Jiuliuli lowered his head and glanced at the Yamaha electronic keyboard in front of him, “Well, how should I put it? The keys of the electronic keyboard cannot provide feedback like a piano, and cannot sense the speed and strength of the keystrokes during performance. Brother knows that the strength of the piano keys is different, and the timbre is also different. Right? But when you press the electronic keyboard, you get a single note, which has nothing to do with the intensity, so I’m a little bit unaccustomed to it.”
“That’s it, I understand.” Sakakibara looked towards the sky Nanami Moon again, “Where is Nanami Moon?”
Tianhai Qimingyue sat upright behind a pile of drums. She didn’t seem worried about tonight’s flash mob.
“It’s okay, knowing how to make jumpy and smooth differentiating phrases requires jumpy play.”
“.”
Sakakihara Raku was speechlessly shocked, “Why do you learn so quickly? You have already mastered the basic drum skills, right?”
The faceless Tianhai Qimingyue said calmly: “It’s nothing. The difficulty of drum set lies in rhythm and control. With the knowledge of music theory, you only need to understand what is wrong and practice it so that your body can remember how to play.”
“Qi Mingyue’s musicality is very powerful.” Tianhai Jiuliuli suddenly interjected.
Sakakihara Raku cannot deny the sound of Nanamiyue.
I don’t know if she was born with it or if she was trained like that by her aunt.
When she played the violin for herself, she chose a song and let her listen to it several times, and she was able to immediately take down the music score and apply it to the violin.
But Qi Mingyue is definitely putting it lightly. Others don’t know that it will take several months to master these key points.
“Sister, it’s better not to talk.”
“What’s wrong?” Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at her.
“It’s nothing, I just don’t want to hear it.”
“.”
Tianhai Qimingyue turned her face to one side.
The facial expression is not annoying, but this action is already annoying.
Tianhai Jiuliuli also noticed his sister’s action.
Sakakihara Raku also observed this.
Alas, not only has the relationship between the two sisters not reconciled, but it has become increasingly cold recently.
They only have good looks when they meet him alone. When they get together, they definitely don’t speak and treat each other coldly.
Sakakihara held the head of the piano with his left hand, closed his eyes and said:
“Don’t quarrel. Now is not the time to dislike each other. Didn’t we all agree before joining this band? We are not only family members, but also companions. How great that we can get together and move forward and work hard for the same thing. The one thing you can’t ask for? To live in harmony.
“Difficulties are bound to happen. Who doesn’t have difficulties yet? Just be calm, okay? You must know that in yesterday’s song, Jiu Liuli’s electronic keyboard also needed Qi Mingyue and your drum set to lead the rhythm. You are all important.”
Sakakihara Raku was actually speaking for Jiu Liuli.
Jiuliuli understood and felt very grateful.
Qi Mingyue also knew that her words were irritating, so she did not express any other dissatisfaction.
After Sakakibara Raku spoke, both Tianhai sisters fell silent.
Sakakihara Suzu was watching the battle from the sidelines, but she could understand the conflicts between several people.
One likes his brother, and the other is in a relationship with his brother.
One hates the other person very much, and the other seems to want to reconcile with the other person.
Although she could understand Jiuliuli’s thoughts, how could this be possible, taking advantage of someone else’s crush and still wanting to reconcile?
When the two of them get along in private, they might fight or pull each other’s hair!
Now it seems that I can control them?
It was a fierce enough battle.
It must be hard for me to be caught between them, right?
Where can I, Sakakihara Suzuyasu, be safe and sound?
Hum ~
Thinking of this, Sakakihara Suzu couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth, feeling smug.
“Hmph, hum, hum, hum, hum~”
“Ling, you’re smiling.”
“Because I’m happy.”
“What are you happy about? Are you ready to eat?” Tianhai Zhixue sat next to her obediently.
“No, it’s not food, it’s other happy things -“
“Okay,” Sakakibara was pleased to see that everyone was quite quiet, so he announced directly, “Although I also think it is impossible to complete a flash mob performance at night, we still have some time now, so let’s practice as soon as possible for the evening performance. , we must take it seriously.”
