Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 252 Can't Always Whoring For Free (8000 words)
It went around like this for a week or two.

"Higashino-san's "Lemon" and "Nothing" have finally released single CDs! Let's buy them after we finish singing the songs, shall we?"

"Huh? But the single CD is very expensive. I remember that it cost [-] or [-] yen. After buying it, the expenses for playing outside in the next two or three days will be reduced."

The low-pitched discussion reached Hino and Zhi's ears, causing a disdainful smile to appear on her face again.

Hey, that's why I said these laymen who are not enthusiastic about music
An old fan like her has long found the existence of Dongye Studio through the Internet, and has already learned about the news of today's release on the announcement of Dongye Studio.

For this reason, she also saved a lot of money, and decided to buy three or four cards to support it depending on the situation.

This is what a music lover like her should do.

As for the "Unnatural Death" that classmates often mentioned, she also read it.

But honestly, that's it.She just bought some special editions, bought two or three special issues, and bought some key chains for the characters of "Unnatural Death". Other than that, there was nothing else, and the total cost was more than 1 yen, no That's too much.

After all, Hino Kazue thinks that he is the kind of fan who is more sensible, and has a more comprehensive view of things, and will not be impulsive.Different from raving fans.

She glanced at her watch, muttered, 'It's time to go', and took the tram with the shoulder bag in her hand to a newly opened shopping mall in Meguro District.

In 2004, Japan already had the concept of a shopping mall, and it was similar to the previous life, mainly focusing on popular physical industries such as catering, bookstores, music, and clothing.

She got out of the car, went to the shopping mall, and went straight to the fourth floor - Japanese audio-visual and digital physical stores were basically on the higher floors.

This is Hino Kazeda's favorite audio-visual store. It not only has a complete range, but also has a very easy-to-recognize guide sign. You can see where the most popular songs are at a glance.

She followed the direction of the sign, took three steps in parallel, and soon came alone to the place where Higashinoji's single CD was sold.

Hino Kazueda didn't intend to audition, after all, the audition line in front of him had formed a long queue, and I don't know if it was because of Higashino Tsukasa's "Nothing", except for some high school girls and young women, there were also some housewives.

When they all listened to it one by one, they would probably queue up until night.

She didn't have that time, so she quickly picked up the four single CDs and glanced at the names on the covers.

Higashino Division.

Well, that's right, it's you.

Just buy it right.

Hino Kazue nodded contentedly, and habitually checked the song list.

The names of "Lemon" and "Nothing" hang on the first and second lines.

But
""Don't Give Up"? What is this?" Hino Kazue was a little puzzled, but before she could think about it, someone behind her greeted her and motioned gently: "I'm sorry, can you hurry up a little bit."

"I'm sorry." Hino Kazue hurriedly lowered his head and apologized, knowing that he had disturbed others.

It's just that the song "Don't Give Up" really made Hino Kazue a little strange. She claimed to be an expert, but she had never heard Higashino Tsukasa sing this song.

Could it be that other people sang this song with Higashinoji, so they also included it in a pretentious manner?

Hino Kazue shook his head, put away the CD in a hurry, and then checked the situation of other singers around.

She didn't find any new or popular songs, so she just shook her head and walked to the cashier.

But before she got close to the cash register, she heard an excited voice coming from the front.

It was a middle-aged man, his eyes were red, and he said excitedly to the young man beside him: "We must win that project! Why did we just let that guy from Murakami like this! Come on! Come on! That's right."

He looked very excited, as if he had been greatly encouraged somewhere.

The young man next to him also had eyes shining, nodded vigorously, and at the same time handed the single CD in his hand to the clerk, demanding to pay the bill.

This made Hino Kazue who was behind them stunned.

She has an impression of this person, he was the first one in the Dongyesi audition area just now.

What the hell is going on?

Even after listening to "Lemon" and "Nothing", don't be so excited.

The former song touches people's softness, and the latter song is full of beautiful metaphors for life. The atmosphere of the two songs is not too quiet, but it will not become like this.

But fortunately, Hino Kazue didn't continue to care about these people, just paid the money, and left with the small paper bag containing the CD.

I have to say that physical music discs in Japan are really not cheap. Just these few small discs with a few songs can be directly priced at one to two thousand yen.

Hino Kazue quickly returned to his home, reached out and selected one of the CDs very simply, removed the outer plastic cover, and started to listen.

Different from the network data version, the biggest advantage of the CD disc is that the sound quality is very good, and it can truly record the details of a singer's voice.

"Lemon" and "Though Our Hands Are Empty" pass quickly.

This made Hino Kazue very satisfied. Lying on the bed and listening to it, he closed his eyes, feeling as if his whole body was immersed in water, which was refreshing and cool, and his heart was very comfortable. Higashino's clear voice is indeed a major feature .
"Listen to it again." Hino Kazue lay on the bed waiting for the CD to be played again, but after waiting for a while, an unfamiliar tune suddenly sounded——

Not "Lemon" or "Though Our Hands Are Empty"?
Hino Kazue couldn't help opening his eyes, only then did he think of "Don't Give Up" written on the record.

Is this the song?
She was puzzled, this impassioned tune didn't quite resemble Higashinoji's style, although it was indeed very rhythmic.
Hino Kazueda is still thinking
The short prelude ended quickly, and at the same time, the singing sound was like a fast straight ball hitting her heart directly, making Hino Kazue, who was still surprised just now, speechless for a moment.

This song.
Sounds pretty good?
She lay down again, intending to immerse herself in the world of music.

Only at this time can she officially let go of the heavy academic and interpersonal pressures in her life, and enjoy this moment of tranquility.

then
'Don't give up, look, where you are, the goal is ahead, no matter how far away, my heart will be with you. '

Um.
'Don't admit defeat, it's only a little bit close, please keep running until the end, no matter how far the distance is, my heart will be with you, chasing that distant dream. '

Uh.
' Chasing that distant dream, no matter what happens, I don't care, jokingly said, there will always be a way, dance with me tonight, please don't forget, now I like that too you. '

"I" Hino Kazue turned over and got up with a face full of astonishment, the peaceful sleepiness just now completely disappeared.

When she listened to this song, her mind was full of 'don't give up' and 'come on!come on! ',' Don't let yourself fall! '.

Not to mention a moment of tranquility.

"Have I done my homework?"

"Did you do the housework?"

"Isn't the room still to be tidied up?"

"Is it still time to sleep?"

"Shouldn't there be a sense of urgency?"

"Why should I be so self-deprecating?"

no!Absolutely not!
A few questions from the soul made Hino Kazue feel confused. She listened to "Don't admit defeat, it's only a little bit close" in her ear, and took out her homework from her shoulder bag.

I feel pretty good.
It's just... why do you feel like you're driving a tank when you listen to this song?This is not quite right.

Then follow the impulse in your heart and do your homework for a while, shall we?

This scene was also repeated at Takahashi Yumi's house.

Originally, Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi didn't understand what the song "Don't Give Up" was, but after listening to it, they couldn't stop.

Fujiwara Aoi was very impressed after listening to this song, and felt that this song really had an inspiring power.

Takahashi Yumi tied a five-kilogram sandbag after listening to this song, and said she was going to run around outside before coming back.

"Teacher Higashino secretly wrote songs behind my back." Yumi Takahashi ran back with her face unchanged, but she was a little out of breath and complained: "I should listen to this kind of song first, no, I have to play it later. Make a phone call to criticize his behavior."

Hearing this, Fujiwara Aoi next to her was a little speechless.

She glanced at Takahashi Yumi sideways, and felt that this guy was really getting less and less B number.

Why does Higashino Division want to listen to you first.

"Having said that, this song is really nice. The lyrics are very simple and straightforward." Fujiwara Aoi glanced at the CD cover.

This cover was hand-painted by Higashinoji. On the top, lemons are poured into the water, and the waves of the water turn white, and this whiteness forms clouds. Further down is the lamb in "Even though our hands are empty" with its head half raised. cover.

It's almost seamless, and Higashino's creativity is as good as ever.

Regarding this song "Don't Give Up", there is no hint that Higashino suddenly gave them and other Japanese listeners a surprise.

However, this song also has its disadvantages. When she heard it, she wanted to take the initiative to do her homework, or find a boy to confess her love.

Really kind of 'toxic'.

This made her touch her chin, and at the same time, she didn't forget to ask Takahashi Yumi to turn on the computer next to her. They wanted to see the latest comments on music.

Takahashi Yumi just opened the page, and found that it has been swiped by comments about "Don't Give Up".

It's really refreshing.

Many people bought the CDs. Everyone was going for "Lemon" and "Nothing", but they found unexpected treasures instead.

'I don't know why, but listening to Higashino-san's song, I feel like I'm driving a tank when I walk. '

'Higashino-san's song is the same as "Although our hands are empty", it is also a song that inspires others, but it also has the atmosphere of a love song. No matter what it is, it makes me feel refreshed.I decided to confess my love to him tomorrow, thank you Higashino-san. '

'Ms. Higashino once again gave me a huge surprise. '

'The lyrics are very straightforward, but also very heart-warming. I am in my 30s this year. I have been finding satisfactory jobs since the Japanese economy collapsed. I originally bought a CD for my child as a birthday present, but I didn’t expect to listen to it myself. I just heard crying and can no longer be willing to degenerate. '

These comments are miscellaneous, and most of them are comments on Higashino Division's new song that was suddenly released.

It's just that Takahashi Yumi couldn't understand it, so she asked Fujiwara Aoi after watching it: "Aoi, what do you think of this song?"

"Huh? Me?" Aoi Fujiwara was still concentrating on reading the comments, but she couldn't help thinking when Yumi Takahashi brought her a sentence.

She is not as simple as Yumi Takahashi thinks about things, she thinks that Higashino must have a deep meaning in writing this song.

After all, the creation of both "Lemon" and "Nothing" has a background. So what does Higashino want to express this time?

She thought about it for a long time, and wondered if Higashinoji wanted to encourage the young Japanese to work hard?
It's very possible!
I have to say that Aoi Fujiwara has a rich imagination.

If Dong Yesi heard this, he would probably laugh out loud, and then sigh.

After all, in a sense, Aoi Fujiwara really hit a lot.

This song really encouraged many highly educated Japanese youths in Japan who were hesitant, powerless, helpless, unable to find a job, and committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Is the real divine comedy.

However, due to the temporary addition of songs, the production cost has increased, and the final price of this CD single disc is [-] yen, which is generally higher than the market price.

But now it seems that the price is only a little higher, but it has not affected the enthusiasm of fans, and the sales volume in a single day has reached [-] pieces.

Some people may dismiss this sales volume, but in Higashinoji's view, it is already quite remarkable.

After all, he is a pure layman in music. Even if "Lemon" and "Although Our Hands Are Empty" were popular a while ago, they were only popular on the digital charts, and it does not mean that they can Take down the physical market.

In addition, this is only the first day of sales, and the data has not yet calmed down, and it is estimated that it will rise a lot in the future.

So this result has indeed satisfied Higashino Division.

Moreover, "Lemon", "No Thing", and "Don't Give Up" are all songs written by singers with a flash of inspiration, perhaps after a lot of hard work, they have all passed the test of the market and the public's reputation, it is impossible to stop there stopped.

Higashino Division temporarily put down the matter here, and at the same time turned his attention to his own home.

It seems that Konoe Lianghua has been secretly helping to make supper these days because Higashinoji will stay up more or less late at night.

Just like today, when Higashino Division was rushing to draft "Unnatural Death", Konoe Lianghua put a supper on the table again.

I should thank you tomorrow too.

Higashinoji smiled and shook his head while eating something Konoe Suzuka made.

You can't keep eating for free all the time, using Konoe Lianghua as a babysitter, and then don't feel grateful at all, right?
