Chapter 83 Bet Your Dignity
Things have to go back to fifteen minutes before leaving the sushi restaurant, when Ye Zhao answered the phone call from Fuji Aiko.
"Is there anything wrong with Aikosang?"
"I've watched "MUSIC FAIR" on Saturday and performed quite well."
"How did Ayaka Sang know that I participated in that episode of "MUSIC FAIR"..." Halfway through, Ye Zhao suddenly remembered that Fuji Ayaka's good friend Hime Tomomi Sakamoto appeared in the same episode as him. Thinking of this, Ye Zhao changed his mind, "No, Ayaka Sang was trying to support Sakamoto, and then found me?"
Fuji Ayako on the other end of the phone let out an unanimous chuckling, and then slowly said, "Tongmi tells me, you took the single to her and sat for a while, and Toumi also praised you for being polite to me."
"About this," Ye Zhao explained the situation at that time, and then said: "Sakamoto Sakamoto also told me, Ayako Sakamoto complained to her that I sang Sakamoto Sakamoto but did not sing your song. Having said that, Ayako Sakamoto didn't tell me at that time that I wanted me to sing your song."
"It's too straightforward to say this kind of thing yourself, so sorry."
"If it were me, I would say it directly." Ye Zhao smiled, "If Caizisang goes to karaoke to sing, remember to sing my new song."
"You have two new songs this time. Should you sing "Beautiful Flower" or "Sakura"?" Fuji Ayako issued the names of the two songs very clearly.
"Of course, I have to sing two songs in a row," Ye Zhao said, "but when singing "Sakura", I hope Aikosan can sing while dancing and singing. At the end, he would applaud while saying, 'The single is a big hit, Kekka'."
"Is this a difficult person?"
Ye Zhao, who was running happily on the train, said casually: "If Ai Zisang does this, in return, I will also gamble on the dignity of the rock singer and sing the songs of Ai Zisang."
“How hot is it?”
"Anyway, it's definitely not to lose to Yoshikawa Akishisan at the concert."
After a while, Fuji Aiko asked without hesitation: "Is Ye Jun busy now?"
"Now I'm having dinner with Fukuyama Sang near Akasaka. If you don't have any reservations, you'll probably go home directly."
"Since that's the case," Fuji Ayako invited in a tone with a smile, "I'm now in Akasaka Mikake. It's better to choose a day than to meet the day. Instead of waiting for the next time, Ye Jun might as well come and fulfill the agreement later. How about?"
"ha?"
"It sounds like I'm very reluctant?" It seemed that the demon's horn suddenly grew on Fuji Aiko's head. "Why did Ye Jun want to continue to spread from Roppongi to Ginza after dinner, so he refused to come over? Yes, no matter it is Roppongi's Crescent or Ginza's Shiraishi House, there are many cute girls."
"...No such thing!" And how did you know there are many cute girls there?
"Since that's the case..."
"I'll go to Aizisang after I finish my meal. I'll have to wait a while. Don't Aizisang mind waiting?"
"It doesn't matter." Fuji Ayako's tone was quite pleasant, "Anyway, Dongmi and the others are here, so many people will not be lonely at all."
"Eh?!" Eh eh eh eh eh eh—
"That," Ye Zhao struggled desperately, "Cai Zisang's friends are all here, it seems that I am not suitable for me in the past, right?"
"It's not that. This phone call was called after everyone agreed." Fuji Aiko smiled and made up the last blow. "I heard that Ye Jun can come, everyone is looking forward to it. Moreover, Ye Jun had already promised me just now. Do you want to regret it now?"
“Um…”
So, should I bet on the dignity of a rock singer in front of so many people, and use Yoshikawa Akishi's style to sing the least good songs of his performance? I numbly hung up the phone, and what Kawamoto Kazuyo said floated in front of me like a prophecy:
"Ye Zhaosang, if you always talk about the train, you will be in a mess one day."
Sorry, he didn't want to hear such sad lines at all.
...
"It's no different from ordinary people. Everyone dresses casually, and they also like to mess with their relatives when they are drunk." This passage is Fuji Ayako's description of the bar party for singers.
So what would a singer look like in a karaoke box? When Ye Zhao came to the karaoke store located in Mitsubu Akasaka, the question finally came up with an answer.
In the backstage of "MUSIC FAIR", Tomi Sakamoto, who gave Ye Zhao the impression of "the finale of the evening party", was happily cheering her companions with her hand-rocked bell. Her long hair was always folded up when wearing a kimono, and at this time she was just casually spread on her shoulders.
There were two men and one woman sitting on the sofa, one of whom had an artist-style instant noodles and the woman. Both of them were in the late thirty years old, and they were a little unfamiliar with their appearance, probably not from the inside. As for the other uncle who looked very kind, he was actually the stage play director Hideki Noda. The vast friendship between singers is really unexpected.
The other friend of Fuji Ayako is holding the microphone and is Wu Dai Nakako, who is also one of the five beauties in the song. She is singing Kudo Shizuka's "Crying" and the lyricist of this song is the legendary Miyuki Nakajima. But the point is not what she sang, but her dressing - the karaoke box provides some small props for COSPLAY. She is famous for her dignified and deep style on the stage, but she actually wears cat ears and cat claws.
"This scene is really impactful." Ye Zhao whispered. But thinking that he might have to do this next, Ye Zhao felt that gambled on the dignity of a rock singer and sang the songs of Fuji Aiko, and so on, it was because of singing that the dignity would be wiped out...
After the lyrics of the last line, Wu Daixiazi put down the microphone, tilted her head, bent her knees, raised her two cat claws, imitating the kitten with a "nyan~" cry.
The people in the private room applauded and cheered, especially the man with instant noodles was the most exaggerated, and he shouted twice in succession, "Shi Gao!"
"Mr. Ueno, there is no need to be so exaggerated, right?" Wu Daixiazi sat back on the sofa and complained that the man who made noodles with jokes.
"After all, it's a rare wonder." The man from the instant noodles smiled. "It's not a pity that I've put down my work in the studio when I saw this scene with my own eyes."
At this time, Fuji Aiko also brought Ye Zhao to everyone, "Everyone, Ye Jun is here."
"It's really OK, Fujimura Sang, actually brought Ye Zhaosang here. I thought it was just a joke." The person who spoke was Noda Hideki. Fujimura was Fuji Ayako's original surname. It seemed that the two of them were quite familiar with each other.
"Hello, Mr. Noda (teacher)." Ye Zhao greeted him very respectfully.
Noda Hideki was a little surprised, "Do you actually know me?"
"Of course, I like the 'Dream Sleeping Club' very much, and I admire Mr. Noda's creativity very much. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Noda here." Although I didn't know much about Hideki Noda in my previous life, when I was in the screenwriter's school, the teacher had specially explained Hideki Noda's works. Ye Zhao naturally respected this domestic theatre dramatist.
The Dream of Misty Club is a troupe led by Hideki Noda. Its predecessor was a student theater troupe composed of the Drama Research Association of the University of Tokyo. In 1976, in order to discover new drama newcomers, the WAN99 Hall in Aoyama, Tokyo initiated a cooperative performance for the newcomer troupe and publicly recruited a cooperative performance. It was also in this year that the 21-year-old Hideki Noda established the Dream of Misty Club from this student theater troupe and won the opportunity for this cooperative performance.
In the following sixteen years, Dream Journey Club became one of the popular troupes in China, and the rehearsed all the repertoire were well received. Until 1992, Hideki Noda announced the dissolution of the troupe without warning.
"Thank you, it's hard for people of your age to like Dream Sleeping Club." Noda Hideki's attitude was quite friendly. "If you are interested, please remember to come and have a look at the next NODAMAP performance." NODAMAP is a troupe that Noda Hideki disbanded at Dream Sleeping Club and returned from studying in London. After returning from studying in London, he recreated it in 1993.
"I will definitely go and see it." Ye Zhao agreed and looked at Fuji Aiko, "Aikosang, I really want to thank you for calling me this time."
Fuji Aiko smiled gently, "Since that's the case, Ye Jun must remember to fulfill the agreement."
"But before that, Cai Zisang needs to fulfill the agreement first, right?" Ye Zhao looked at her with a smile.
"Ye Jun, what conditions did Ayako convince you?" asked Tomomi Sakamoto, the second most familiar to Ye Ayako, among the people present.
"I hope Aikosan can sing my "Sakura" while dancing and singing. At the end, he will clap and say 'Single is so popular, Kekka'. If you can do this..."
Wu Daixiazi, who had already taken off her cat ears, looked at the show, "Caizi, it's up to you next."
While Fuji Ayako picked up the singing order, Ye Zhao quietly approached Sakamoto Tomomi and asked in a low voice: "Sakamoto, what kind of karaoke party is this?" Everyone felt very strange...
Sakamoto Tomi smiled, "It was only Ayako, Natsuko, and the stage designer Uchiyama Sang," Sakamoto Tomi pointed to the strange woman named Uchiyama, and Uchiyama nodded politely. "Originally, there were only four of us coming to sing together. Natsuko felt that singing like this was boring, so she suggested that each call a man to support her. If she couldn't call someone smoothly, she would have to accept punishment."
"Uchiyama Sang invited Noda Sang, and Natsuko invited Ueno Sang, a Mimi line performer. Ueno Sang was not going to come at first, but after Natsuko agreed to bring Cat Ear to sing Miss Kudo's "Crying" with her, Ueno Sang immediately changed her mind. As for Ayako, she didn't expect that she would actually move you here."
You guys are also very messy... After complaining silently in your heart, Ye Zhao said curiously: "The person who invited Uchiyama Sang, Wu Daisang, and Aiko Sang are all here. Who is the person who invited Sakamoto Sang?"
