Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 12 012. I trust you
"14 years old? That's really impressive." Yanqiao Shinichi said.

Being able to run from Hokkaido to Tokyo to chase stars at the age of 14 is really good enough.Thinking about when he was 14 years old... might as well not think about it.

The "Yushi-san" that Yoshida Miwa said refers to Matsunaga Yumi, a singer who has the title of "Queen of New Music" in RB.

Before the 70s, the pop music world was dominated by ballads and folk songs. Since the 70s, innovative musicians have tried hard to add new things to their music, and a "new music" between folk songs and new music was born. Ballad", until the appearance of Matsutoya Yumi.

Since her debut, what she has handed over is the "new music" that has completely abandoned the constraints of the original music routine.

In addition to playing a pivotal role as a singer, Yumi Matsutani, as a composer, has provided a series of best-selling songs for popular idols such as Matsuda Seiko, Harada Tomoyo, Yakushi Maru Hiroko, and is a talented girl who is known to RB. .

Now the all-powerful idols have a great relationship with the support of the works of these famous artists on the road to popularity.

Iwahashi Shin is not unfamiliar with the name Matsurengu Yumi, because Miyazaki, who is more famous to the Chinese, likes her very much.

Therefore, the theme song "ひこうきCloud" (Trail Cloud) of the animation "The Wind Rises", and the episode "ルージュの伝言" (Lipstick Rumors) of "The Witch's Delivery Service" and the ending song "やさしさに包まれたなら" (if surrounded by tenderness) are all her songs.

"Gigi, turn on the radio, my hands are empty now."

After that, the prelude of "ルージュの伝言" sounded, and the title of "Witch's Delivery Service" appeared.

"This is the power of liking." Yoshida Miwa smiled, "It was Shisang who brought fresh air to the music world and changed the ears of RB people with trendy elements."

After experiencing rapid economic growth in the 60s, RB became one of the richest countries in the world in the 70s, and the slogan of [-] million total middle class ([-] million middle class) was also shouted loudest at this time.

Economically prosperous, young people no longer have to work and support their families at a young age, so they can continue to study, and the rate of admission to high school and university has begun to increase year after year.

Staying in the comfortable environment of the school, these young people also have enough time and money to meet new things, find like-minded friends, and nurture the culture of their own generation, so from this period, more and more bands started. , RB pop music also began to flourish.

At the same time, because conditions have improved, the elements of poverty, sadness, and self-pity that used to fill traditional ballads gradually no longer resonate with listeners, to be precise, young listeners.

Lovers will no longer just stay in a four-and-a-half-fold room, but will go dancing, traveling, and having fun together.And Yoshida Miwa, who was a girl, was also able to run from Hokkaido to Tokyo to chase stars at the age of 14, instead of staying in the country and looking up at the stars.

Changes in life and thought nourish the birth, development and popularity of new music.

Matsurengu Yumi, who was born in the wealthy class, her music seems to be tailor-made for the middle class.With the right time and place, her success is by no means accidental.

"I yearn for Yumi-san, I want to be a singer who won't lose to her, and let everyone like my music..." Yoshida Miwa turned her face slightly, raised her eyes, and watched Iwahashi Shinichi's reaction carefully.

"It's a good idea." Iwahashi Shinichi thought she was right.

He was so calm and even showed appreciation, but it surprised Yoshida Miwa, "I thought you would laugh when I said that I wanted to become a singer who did not lose to Yumi-san."

"What's so funny about that?"

"That's what I said. I was in Hokkaido before. After I said this, I was laughed at."

An ordinary girl in the countryside of Hokkaido, who made a bold statement to be the next Yumi Matsutani, is indeed ambitious enough.It's not surprising to be ridiculed if it's so grand that it feels unrealistic.

However, for Shinichi Iwahashi, who has not grown up in their cultural environment and has just arrived here, even if he knows how powerful Yumi Matsunani is, it is difficult for him to have the same emotions as the natives.

For people like him, the most RB songs that he heard in his last life were the various covers that were localized in China. Before crossing the road, the three most famous RB singers in my heart were Shinji Tanimura, Miyuki Nakajima, and Ayumi Hamasaki.

At the beginning, I knew that Ayumi Hamasaki was not because of her songs, but because she endorsed a drink called Season [-].

At that time, Shinichi Iwahashi, who was still a young and beautiful boy, looked at the woman printed on the bottle and felt that this sister was hot and beautiful.I fell in love with it at first sight, so I bought it frequently, even though the pocket money was very limited.

So, for him, Yoshida Miwa wants to be the next Matsutani Yumi, and she says that she wants to be anyone.

"But I don't find it funny at all." Iwahashi Shinichi's tone was by no means comforting, "However, it's better to keep your lofty goals in your heart. Because not everyone can understand it."

"I don't tell everyone, I only tell people I trust..."

Iwahashi Shinichi was a little surprised, "You trust me?"

"Well, I trust you." Yoshida Miwa's eyes were shining, "I trust an excellent person who said to me 'my song should be heard by more people' and used his talents to help me with all his heart."

"Excellent person?"

"Having the ability to turn intangible things into tangible things isn't good enough?" Yoshida Miwa asked back, "I envy such a talent, and I think you're amazing."

If he is praised by someone casually, he doesn't think so, but when he is praised by someone who thinks he is excellent and talented, it will be different.Iwahashi Shinichi was a little embarrassed, but also a little proud.

Furthermore, he suddenly thought that, from going to dance for Mimi CLUB, to dictating music for Yoshida Miwa, the fundamental reason for his connection with these excellent people is that he is also excellent himself.

The encounter with Yoshida Miwa seems to have awakened a certain part of him.

Iwahashi Shinichi did not respond to Yoshida Miwa's statement, but told her, "In the future, you can tell me about such a topic of worshipping singers, and I guarantee you will not be surprised by what you say. Because I also trust you. ."

Trust a person who regards Yuji Matsutani as his life goal and will not change his original intention even if he is laughed at.

Yoshida Miwa agreed with a smile, "Okay." Then she stepped forward, "I'm so hungry, let's go eat."
