star chaser poem

Taoguo studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, and usually likes to take pictures. According to her, she started working part-time for "Spades News" in order to "try to get closer to Bai Yueguang". She is mainly responsible for the cover and layout design.

Behind these magazines are music information platforms with relatively large traffic. Although the content is free, the content published can be said to be of real value.

"Then have you come into contact with Bai Yueguang?"

"No." She looked unhappy, stretched out her fingers and pushed the bridge of the glasses impatiently, "They stopped their activities not long after I entered, and they have disappeared for more than a year."

"Stop activity?"

"Well, the reason announced to the public is that the guitarist is recovering from tenosynovitis, and there are also rumors that he can't write songs during the bottleneck period. No one knows the real situation."

She hugged her knees obediently with both hands, and the large black-striped towel with a white background was still draped over her shoulders from last time.Others will bring the band's accessories whichever band they are watching, but Taoguo is not, no matter whose performance she is watching, there will always be only one towel to accompany her.

Xiang Shi asked her if she had any contact with Sariel.

"Yes, I was there during the last interview. But there was a dedicated photography teacher that day, and I followed the past to do odd jobs by myself, so I didn't have much to say."

Deliberately not looking at the girls around her, Xiang Shi pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "What are they like in private?"

Taoguo tilted her head and thought for a while, "You like J, right? Except for his appearance, he doesn't look like a band player. He is very humble in his dealings with others, and he speaks very politely. He seems to be quite educated."

As if she suddenly remembered something, she patted Xiangshi's arm vigorously, "Have you ever talked to J?"

Taoguo looked soft and weak, but his hand was unexpectedly strong, this palm made his back molars tremble as if.

Xiang Shi kept shaking her head, "No."

"Isn't Sariel about to release a new album? You go to the record store and order a CD, and you can talk to him at the signing."

"Miao Miao said that it is hard for people who have met J in private not to have a good impression of him. I agree very much. Anyway, he is a different person from the stage."

When hearing the words of praise for Fu Jing from a third party, Xiang Shi was a little complacent, comparable to a parent representative who was publicly praised by the teacher at the parent meeting.

In order to avoid getting carried away, he quickly restrained his expression, and changed the subject without a trace: "What about the other three people?"

Taoguo is a fan of the bass player Ten, and she uses a lot of keywords to describe him, but what makes her laugh is that all she said were negative descriptions: such as bad temper, impatient, easy to blow up, one mouth ruined The whole face and so on.

Drummer Oscar and Ten are classmates, but their personalities are completely opposite.Although he speaks viciously, he is the most down-to-earth of the four.

Guitarist Jiajing should be forming a band for the first time, and he has never heard of this name before.He always covers half of his face when he appears, and he doesn't like to talk when interviewed. Not only is his origin unknown, but he is also very mysterious.

"I did the Sariel cover of the last issue of Spades News." After the introduction, Taoguo did not forget to promote herself.

"Then do you accept private work?"

"Of course, if you have design needs, just come to me." He said, and handed over a slender business card, with a self-portrait of a younger sister printed on the blank area on the left side of the name, bangs, wearing round-frame glasses .On the back is a blue-purple irregular polka dot pattern.

Xiang Shi took it with both hands, stuffed it carefully into the business card holder, and was about to hand over her own card, not wanting to be stopped by the other party.

"No need." Taoguo glanced at the company logo on his business card, and smiled mischievously, "I can't afford you."

It was after ten o'clock in the evening when I returned home after watching the performance. Xiang Shi was holding a courier box in his hand, which was a large number of CDs he had bought online.Some of the records are from Sariel, some are from Moonquake, and there are also various potential bands known from "Sallyer's Dad"-he calls it market research.

Carefully unwrap the plastic film covering the CD case, as if tearing off a cicada's wings.The lyrics book exudes a faint smell of paint, which is reminiscent of mottled and peeling wall skin.

According to the distinction between the band and the album, Xiang Shi poured all the records into the Hi-Fi front end in one go.Then he put on the earphones, turned on the computer, and skillfully tapped the keyboard while listening to Fu Jing's singing. Then a few large characters appeared on the first line of the screen: registered company ToDoList.

"Hello? Hello, I want to order a CD."

"Sariel's "TODAY"."

"Okay, I see, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Shi created a new item on the phone's calendar: go to the CD store.

Typically, when a band releases a new single or album, there are signings at record stores across the country and a tour.Sariel's stronghold is in Kure City, so the most itineraries are arranged here.

In order to expand sales, each record store has different activities and gifts. Some of them can sign CDs on the spot, and some can take photos with band members.And if you make an appointment online, you can only get the poster or postcard of the gift; if you want to participate in the event, you must go to the store to make an appointment in person during the specified period.

Sariel's newly released album is called "TODAY". The track list is very interesting. It starts with "Good Morning" and ends with "Good Night". The main body uses a series of titles to describe the passage of time in a day.

ALBUM『TODAY』

TrackList

①Good morning

② use up all day sunny

③Send you a sun

④The sea is a forgotten

⑤ masked by dusk

⑥About your dream

⑦ good night

The album cover is a half sun and half moon put together, gray cyan and spoiled pink purple, the edges of the colors are slowly melting.The joint in the center of the sphere is painted with dazzling golden yellow, like a molten core that is about to break.A bright hole was scalded through the dark blue skin of the universe, revealing the rose-red blood vessels hidden beneath it.

There is an audition of the whole song on the Internet. Although I can only see a small part of the whole, it still can't dampen Xiang Shi's strong curiosity about this album.

His first impression of "TODAY" was "weird".From the first song to the last one, the appearance of the music may be strange, but the atmosphere floating in it is highly unified: there is a hint of paradoxical disharmony in the innocence, and the repayment in the last second is deeply affectionate. , the next second he will be upside down and confused, sometimes infatuated, sometimes crazy, like a moody and meticulous fantasist.

The way the melody is expressed seems upside down and arbitrary.It is not so much a carefully conceived work as it is a random doodle on a diary.But that natural "abnormality" has a deadly magic power, because it is completely different from the composition of the songs you are usually used to, and you can't guess what will happen after listening to the beginning, full of irresistible attraction. force.

The lyrics are also quite inexplicable, deliberately using some naive expression techniques, combined with rare sound effects, such as heavy nose inhalation.Hearing that voice, he imagined that Fu Jing was bleeding from her nose while singing, and then wiped it on her sleeve casually.

Like a naughty kid who loves to make trouble, you have no way of knowing what is going on in his or her head, but you still think such harmless pranks are very cute.

Sariel's usual creative method is to use an album to explain a complete set of world views.The tune is either telling a fictional story that provokes daydreams, or exaggerating an inexplicable ambiguous emotion—it is music, and it is also a delicately crafted dream.

And when it was the turn of this album, the puppeteer seemed to be tired, bored, and having played enough, so he threw away the plush doll that concealed himself, and declared loudly in his original voice: Whether you can understand me or not What are you talking about, anyway, that's what I'm going to say.Not only do I talk, I talk noisily, the way I like to talk - blah blah blah.

For some reason, Xiang Shi had an intuition. He vaguely thought that this was not something the current Fu Jing would write.

The author has something to say:
