deep in the sky

April 2006, 5, Osaka, Japan.

There is already a little heat in Osaka in May. The streets are covered with cherry blossoms in full bloom. From time to time, you can see the pink and white petals falling under the cherry trees. Young women can't wait to put on beautiful light shirts, Short skirts have become beautiful landscapes on the streets of Osaka.

"How is it? The taste of this restaurant is not bad, right?" Li Shengxuan picked up a small octopus ball and smiled at Cui Shengxuan who was eating enthusiastically.

"Ugh—" Cui Shengxuan took a bite of the bacon in the Okonomiyaki, and gave a thumbs up, "Zzang!"

Quan Zhilong took a sip of the delicious udon noodle soup, with a satisfied look on his face: "And the environment is not bad." He picked up a piece of fried tofu floating on the noodle soup, "But victory, why do I feel like you are Are you familiar with this place? I just found out that you can speak Japanese, and you can speak it so fluently, have you ever stayed in Japan before?"

Not only did he stay there, but he also stayed for a long time, Li Shengxuan thought to himself, if he was in Tokyo, he would be very familiar with it.

At the beginning, in order to consolidate Bigbang's popularity in Japan, expand Bigbang's market in Japan, and at the same time fight for his own business, Lee Seung-hyun took the initiative to propose to President Yang that he would go to Japan alone to develop and work hard. Although it was very difficult at the beginning, he eventually Still, he fulfilled his promise to President Yang, and also met his own requirements. He got along like a fish in water in Japan, which not only brought benefits to Bigbang, but also made a fortune for his own career.

"No." Lee Seung-hyun took a mouthful of ramen and said unhurriedly, "I have never stayed in Japan, I just checked the travel guide here before coming here, uh... When it comes to Japanese, I used to enroll in Japanese classes and have been studying on my own, so the basic conversation is not a problem."

Hearing this, Choi Seung-hyun raised his head temporarily from the crowd of delicacies, and said with a smile: "Haha, our victory is really versatile. We can sing well in rap, dance well, compose lyrics and compose music, and also have great cooking skills... In addition to being good at English, I can even speak Japanese, so it’s a decathlon!"

"Brother Seunghyun, you are really outstanding. Not to mention tall and handsome, you can also talk about handsome rap. There are several trainee sisters in the company who are asking me for news about you!"

"Hahahaha, isn't it? Oh, it's still victory..."

"Where is it, Brother Seunghyun, you..."

Quan Zhilong: "..."

That's enough.

Is it really okay for these two people to "commercially brag about each other" in front of him like this?Is the skin all made of cowhide?Can you consider the feelings of his audience?Anyway, he is the leader of the team, don't you know how to praise him?

"Cough." Quan Zhilong coughed lightly, interrupting the two who were still bragging about each other, with a sullen face, "Brother Seven's concert will officially start at 7 o'clock tomorrow night, and our show will be on the 8th. Well, let's go back to the hotel after dinner to familiarize ourselves with the lyrics again. The Japanese part has to be troublesome for you, Shengli, to hear if the pronunciation is accurate. Don't come out to play tonight, go to bed early, and return early tomorrow morning Going to the live rehearsal, is there any problem with this arrangement?"

"OK."

"I'm fine too."

"Then do it like this." Quan Zhilong made a final decision.

For the first performance of the three of them this time, as soon as President Yang announced that the three of them would perform at Seven's concert, Lee Seung-hyun worked with Teddy in the shortest possible time to complete and confirm. The final version of the song was prepared, and the accompaniment was also prepared.

In addition, Lee Seung-hyun also specially changed some of the lyrics in "Gone" to the Japanese version. As for some parts of Rap that speak too fast, I am afraid that Quan Zhilong and Cui Shengxuan will not be able to accept Japanese in such a short period of time Pronunciation, it was changed to English.In this way, this song "Gone" has become a mixed version of Japanese and English, which should bring quite a surprise to the Japanese fans who came to the concert.

The soothing and clear breathing of the other two came from the dark room. Li Shengxuan looked at the thick night outside the glass window and slowly closed his eyes.

Tomorrow is the first step of his acting career.

……

Lee Seung-hyun was immersed in a dark sleep, and suddenly felt a strong shaking of his body, he tried to open his eyelids that were about to stick together, and saw that the person in front of him was Cui Shengxuan, and said helplessly: "What's wrong, Seung-hyun Brother Hyun?"

"Your mentality is really good, and you slept so soundly!" Cui Shengxuan pointed to the dial on his wrist, "It's already 5:[-], you hurry up and wash up, and then go to the venue for rehearsal after breakfast. !"

Lee Seung-hyun rubbed his ears that were hurt by the other party's subwoofer-like voice, and sighed: "But I remember arriving at 7 o'clock to start the rehearsal, and it takes 7 or 8 minutes to walk from here to the other side of the venue. It's only 5:[-]..." After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Quan Zhilong who was getting out of bed and wearing slippers, with a look of surprise on his face, "Brother Zhilong woke up too?"

Quan Zhilong raised his eyebrows in displeasure: "What? Do you have an opinion?"

Lee Seung-hyun shook his head again and again, turned over and got up to get dressed and washed, while secretly thinking in his heart that G-Dragon and TOP at this age are still a little immature, and the two famous "difficult to get up households" actually got up so early. Sure enough, I'm still nervous, right?

But after thinking about it again, Lee Seung-hyun will understand. After all, this is the first time they have appeared on stage to perform a separate program for so many audiences. Success or failure is directly linked, and it is understandable to be nervous.

After a simple wash, the three of them quickly finished their breakfast and arrived at the venue where Seven was about to hold a concert 15 minutes early. Although the scheduled time was 7 o'clock, Lee Seung-hyun felt that the three of them were not even newcomers to their debut. , there is always nothing wrong with arriving a little early.

Not long after, it was the turn of the three of them to play. The effect of the first rehearsal was not very satisfactory, perhaps because of some nervousness, the movement on the stage was a bit messy, the three of them gathered together to sort out their thoughts, and Lee Seung-hyun was humble And sincerely discussed with the lighting engineer about the lighting effects at each fixed point, and then conducted the second rehearsal, and the results were quite satisfactory.

After eating the boxed lunch given by the staff, Lee Seung-hyun carefully listened to the Japanese pronunciation of parts of Kwon Ji-yong and Choi Seung-hyun's songs several times, and after making sure there were no problems, he taught them some simple greetings.

Quan Zhilong is okay, according to the pronunciation of the Korean spelling, it will be decent if he recites it a few times, but Cui Shengxuan is not good.

Choi Seung-hyun frowned and stared at Lee Seung-hyun anxiously: "I said victory, I finally finished memorizing the Japanese part of the lyrics, if you ask me to memorize the rest, I'm afraid I'll give you some trouble later." It's confusing!"

Lee Seung-hyun was amused by Choi Seung-hyun's anxious appearance, he stretched out his hand with a smile, and patted Choi Seung-hyun's shoulder reassuringly: "It's okay, Seung-hyun brother, I believe in you! With your face, when the time comes Just stand on the stage and tell me your name, as long as your specialty is rap."

As soon as the words fell, Li Seung-hyun secretly thought that something was wrong, and as expected, Quan Zhilong shot him a laser-like gaze in the next second, so he hurriedly remedied: "But I think I should introduce more like Brother Zhilong. I’m better, maybe I can take this opportunity to get our first batch of fans, don’t you think Brother Zhilong?”

Quan Zhilong snorted and responded.

So throughout the afternoon, Lee Seung-hyun kept hearing "Oh, victory, I forgot again", "Tsk, how do you say the first pronunciation?" and other voices from the elder brother asking for help.

At 6:[-], the three of Lee Seung-hyun changed into their costumes. In the crowded dressing room backstage, they waited for Cody to put on their makeup. They were surrounded by staff with costumes, backup dancers wearing makeup, and walking around. Hasty deployment of personnel...

Lee Seung-hyun looked at this noisy and chaotic scene, and rubbed his aching brain. To be honest, he had already begun to miss the independent lounge and dressing room that Bigbang had before.

The makeup of the three of them was finally finished after the third show of the concert. Their outfits were different, but they all followed the Hippop style: Choi Seung-hyun wore a gray hoodie with a big print on the chest Colorful English Logo; Quan Zhilong wears a turban painted with cursive letters, and the hem of the brown T-shirt is exposed from the lower edge of the sweater; Lee Seung-hyun wears a simple white T-shirt with a pair of washed white jeans, but he habitually tied a brighter orange-blue mottled silk scarf at the position of the back waistband.

Quan Zhilong was very interested in Lee Seung-hyun's attire, and pointed to the few strands of silk scarves hanging from Lee Seung-hyun's waist: "I remember that this suit didn't go with this, right? How did you think it was on the waist?" With a silk scarf?"

"Oh, I think the matching of this suit is relatively dull, and the effect on the stage may not be very good. Wearing a bright silk scarf should be able to embellish it and make it look better." Lee Seung-hyun responded.

"Okay." Quan Zhilong nodded and muttered, "I didn't expect you to have a good sense of fashion."

Seven wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and after the two consecutive dance songs before, he gasped and smiled slightly: "Phew, I'm a little tired, and then I have to go to the backstage to rest for a while before performing for everyone—— "Paused, then said mysteriously, "During this period, I also prepared a surprise for everyone, don't miss it!"

Amidst the overwhelming screams of Japanese singer fans, the stage gradually turned into darkness. Li Seung-hyun listened to the PD's ready command from the headset, and walked towards the designated position of the lifting platform. Choi Seung-hyun smiled at him and mouthed "Come on", Li Seung-hyun replied "Come on" with a smile.

Quan Zhilong silently withdrew his outstretched hand, pretended to straighten his cuffs, curled his lips, walked to his place and stood still.
