Chapter 42 Senior Brother Meets Senior Brother Again

Seeing Yuko Tanaka handing the microphone to Shirakawa Kaede, even Miyake Yuji became interested. "Shirakawa-kun might as well give it a try. It will be sung by the songwriter himself. It must be a different audio-visual flavor."

However, this was not what hurt Shirakawa Kaede the most. What was even more shocking was that the owner of the izakaya also cooperated and turned off the vocal part, leaving only the accompaniment.

Just when Yuko Tanaka went to the bar to get a microphone, the boss started to pay attention. When he saw the young girl handing the microphone to another handsome boy, he smiled knowingly. It's great to be young.

Nowadays, karaoke has become popular. As an izakaya opened in a prosperous area of ​​Shibuya, how can it be without these configurations?

Normally, music is played, and if guests come and feel interested, they can also sing an impromptu song. This is also a way to attract guests.

Shirakawa Kaede lowered his head, and saw the bright microphone in front of him. In front of him was Yuko Tanaka, who was eager to see it, and to his side was Yuji Miyake who was waiting to admire it. When he raised his head, there were also the boss and other customers in the store who started to look around.

There was no other way, so Shirakawa Kaede had no choice but to take over. I had sung it at the New Year Festival in front of so many people, so now I couldn’t refuse and say I couldn’t do it.

The song "Dragonfly" was originally sung by Shirakawa Kaede in a rock-oriented style, but Polytech Records changed it into a ballad in terms of arrangement.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the trend of RB pop music was idol ballads. In fact, in the final analysis, it was born out of the new music of the 1970s.

As a record company, of course, whatever style is popular, we will produce records in that style. Following the trend is the easiest way to get the public to pay obediently.

Miyake Yuji waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's just a newly established small theater troupe, not worth mentioning."

"Brother Miyake, it's okay to be on TV. You're still studying, you haven't made your debut, and you're not even a minor yet, so it's not suitable."

Ah ~ happy dragonfly

He felt that this girl's style was sometimes bold, and she was just like a hot girl. Coupled with a pair of bow legs, her performance on the stage would definitely be greatly reduced.

Miyake Yuji's teasing, Shirakawa Kaede's begging for mercy, and Tanaka Yuko's laughter all mixed together, making this small shop on the corner of the street even more human-like.

Aizawa Hideaki had a wry smile on his face, "Wakamatsu-san, every new artist launched by Sun Music must be carefully considered. It needs to be discussed collectively by more than 20 planners throughout the company."

"Ha ha"

Speaking of the host, Bai Chuanfeng finally realized why this senior brother looked so familiar.

A middle-aged man in the corner had an unexpected look in his eyes. He looked at Bai Chuanfeng, who was singing freely, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes.

Wasn't he the host of the famous "Miyake Yuji's Band Paradise" program in the late 1980s?

"Brother, welcome to come back often." The boss wearing a white chef hat greeted him warmly.

"Arigado" Shirakawa Kaede said politely and returned to her seat, while Tanaka Yuko looked more excited than him at this time, with a pair of mini eyes sparkling.

"Shh~"

"In addition to being a host and actor, Miyake-san is also the director of Super Excentric Theater." Tanaka Yuko explained his doubts thoughtfully.

Gee, Tokyo in 1979 was really interesting.

The guests in the store spontaneously put down their bowls and chopsticks, stopped talking, and clapped their hands in unison.

"Hey." The girl named Noriko who was Cued panicked and retracted her gaze that had been staring at Shirakawa Kaede. She lowered her head shyly, "Wakamatsu-san, thank you."

In fact, Aizawa Shuzhen was not optimistic about this high school girl named Kamaike Noriko, who came from Fukuoka.

It's just that at this time, Miyake Yuji was still a young version, and he was still playing a small role on NHK TV station. The only TV station that hosted programs was a local TV station like Tamagawa.

"This has nothing to do with whether you are an adult or not. Oh, that's not right. Are you still drinking when you are underage?"

"Aizawa-san has started to love talents again?" Another young man in his thirties sitting opposite him joked with a smile. He turned to look at Shirakawa Kaede who was singing and nodded. "The conditions are indeed good.

But our method is not bad either. The sound is quite distinctive."

Muneio Wakamatsu gave her an encouraging look, and then continued to spare no effort to sell to the middle-aged man opposite, the girl sitting next to him.

The style of music changes, but the sound remains the same. The thick and warm tone flows slowly like a clear spring in a mountain stream.

"Aizawa-san, please believe me. With Noriko's conditions, he will definitely be very popular among young people after his debut."

Now that the style has changed, Shirakawa Kaede's singing has also been slightly adjusted. It is no longer full of indignation like the first time, but is replaced by helplessness, or perhaps vicissitudes of life.

where are you flying to

…

"It's surprisingly good." To be honest, Shirakawa Kaede's performance really exceeded Miyake Yuji's expectations. After all, the composer may know music, but he may not know how to sing.

After bowing slightly to everyone around him, Shirakawa Kaede politely returned the microphone to the boss behind the bar.

Let’s not mention what happened in the corner for the moment. Here, Bai Chuanfeng finished her song, and everyone applauded enthusiastically. Most of the customers in the store were young people, and everyone’s expressions were relatively straightforward.

Miyake Yuji picked up the jug and filled it for Shirakawa Kaede himself. Then he changed the subject and began to seduce him again, "How about Shirakawa-kun, do you want to be on TV? Although it is a local TV station, the audience is only a few million."

This informal gathering on a work day was just a few minutes of drinking and then dispersed in a hurry. Yuko Tanaka and Yuji Miyake continued to return to the NHK studio to wait for call.

However, due to many years of friendship, he still agreed to Wakamatsu Muneo and let Kamaike Noriko go to Sun Music for an interview next month.

The fledgling Yuko Tanaka, the unknown Yuji Miyake, and Kaede Shirakawa picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"If I had known, Shirakawa-kun is my junior brother from Meiji. I should have invited Shirakawa-kun to the show I hosted. With the reputation of being the songwriter of "Dragonfly" and singing on stage himself, maybe I could have increased the ratings."

As for Shirakawa Kaede's performance, let alone being a professional singer, there should be no problem in debuting directly as an idol. As an idol, style and appearance are given priority. As for the level of rapping... everyone is very tolerant.

Shirakawa Kaede looked at Senior Brother Miyake in surprise, "Miyake-san or the TV host?"

Although the filming of today's scene has basically been completed, due to professional habits, I still have to stay on set until everyone gets off work.

As for Shirakawa Kaede, she came out of the izakaya and started walking back leisurely.

When he was a student, he didn't have to go to work and there was no pressure to find a job. It was a rare opportunity for him to relax and enjoy this leisurely life. In a few months, he might not have such a good time again.

However, before he had gone far out of the tavern, he was stopped by a middle-aged man.
