Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 355
After graduating from university, I encountered the second oil crisis when I started working. The world is in a downturn, and I have to bow my head everywhere in order to have a stable job.

When the economy picked up and the Plaza Accord was signed, it entered the so-called golden age. Although other industries were in full swing, the large machinery manufacturing company he worked for was impacted by the times, and the future became increasingly gloomy.

While the younger brother Shingo Nakagawa was dazzled by many opportunities, the life of the older brother Daigo Nakagawa was not smooth.

After graduating from university, I joined the company together as a classmate. When I went out to drink together, I would occasionally complain: "How can we not encounter any good things?"

For Daigo Nakagawa and his classmates, their luck is indeed not very good.

The younger brother who lives in style now, when he talks about this era, he is in high spirits, with a hint of relief.At this time, Nakagawa Daigo said with a smile that he was "very lucky".

Is Shingo lucky?Of course very good.

However, Nakagawa Daigo didn't feel envious of his younger brother at all. Even if his current life was temporarily difficult, he didn't have the idea of ​​envious or jealous of other people's lives.

Not only that, but since he was a child, he also knew the struggle in his younger brother Xinwu's heart.

As the second son, Shingo respects and wants to challenge his older brother. He regards him as a shoulder and sometimes as an enemy. Shingo, who has a slender personality, has these complicated feelings when facing Daigo Nakagawa. In Nakagawa Daigo's awareness.

As for Shingo, who is now living in style and has finally let go of his struggles in his heart, Daigo Nakagawa is happy for his younger brother, but also worried about him.

In any case, in his eyes, such a state of life is like always stepping on the clouds.Although it feels good to be floating, there is no telling when it will fall.

The old-fashioned Nakagawa Daigo firmly believes that we should live on a down-to-earth basis. In the eyes of his younger brother Shingo, this kind of thinking is probably old-fashioned. However, compared with the life of stepping on the clouds, Nakagawa Daigo still feels more at ease in a down-to-earth life.

But even so, the times are indeed developing in a direction that he has never thought about. Even Nakagawa Daigo, who is determined in his heart, feels at a loss from time to time.

In such an era, how should we live?

During the lunch break, Nakagawa Daigo took a copy of "Weekly Modern" from the company's newspaper shelf. This is a magazine he must read every week. This magazine is also very popular within the company.

Go through each article, if you are interested, read it carefully, and if you are not interested, just read it hastily. In this way, I turned to the article "Forever Youth, Forever Beautiful 17 Years Old" written by Kawabata Yoshiichiro.

"This year is the 17th anniversary of Nansha Zhisang's debut. 17 years ago, I heard a girl from the southern country sing "[-] Years Old", and felt that an era had come."

The first paragraph of this article attracted Nakagawa Dawu.For nothing else, he was a loyal fan of Nan Sazhi when he was a student.

Nan Saori retired for ten years, and there are still well-known critics mentioning her in the article. Daigo Nakagawa missed her while reading it carefully, wondering what Kawabata Kichiro wrote.

Although Nansaori was written at the beginning, Nansaori was similar to an introduction in the article, and Kawahata Kichiro's brushstrokes quickly turned to the discussion of the times.Daigo Nakagawa is not surprised, or it should be taken for granted. After all, this is the social edition of "Weekly Modern", not a music review of a music magazine.

The era written by Yoshiichiro Kawahata is an era that Daigo Nakagawa experienced personally, so it feels very real to read.Of course, there are also eras that Nakagawa Daigo has not experienced, such as the section written by Kawabata Yoshiichiro on the left-wing youths.

"After the failure of the left-wing youths, the school also learned from the previous campus disputes, and the management system also changed accordingly and became more perfect.

"The space for students to pursue freedom is compressed, so they have to obey the school system honestly. The double blow makes future students lose that kind of hope, enthusiasm, and positive action."

However, Nakagawa Daigo thought to himself that although he had never been a left-wing youth, the follow-up impact brought about by the failure of the left-wing youth has actually affected him, a later student—the re-reformed school management system, It was just right to manage his later student.

From this point of view, the era is indeed such a chain of things, there is a cause and an effect.

So, is this era the result of past causes, or is it the cause of future fruits?Nakagawa Daigo thought.

An article that can make people think is a good article.

If this is the case, a song that can make people think is also a good song.At the end of the article, when Yoshiichiro Kawahata mentioned Chisato Moritaka, the first thought that popped up in Daigo Nakagawa’s mind was this.

Then another thing came to my mind: Has Nan Saori's famous song also been sung?Also made a new adaptation?

After work, before returning home, Daigo Nakagawa went to a record store to buy a piece of "17 Years Old" by Chisato Moritaka and listen to it.

Walking into a small record store, quoting the name of the single, only to be told it was sold out.

"Is it sold out?" Nakagawa Daigo subconsciously confirmed it.

The young clerk was apologetic, "Yes, the purchase volume was not too large...the sales situation has suddenly become very good in the past few days, the purchase of the small store has been sold out, and the request for replenishment has been sent to the record company .”

Nakagawa Daigo walked out of the store and sighed. He originally planned to avoid the busy city at this time, but it seems that he must go to a big record store in a prosperous area.

With the sudden increase in sales, are there other people like him who only want to buy a single after seeing the magazine, and hear what kind of single it is?
Nakagawa Daigo became even more curious.He came to Shibuya and walked into the TOWER record store.

After returning home with this record, Daigo Nakagawa put the record in the record player and listened quietly to Chisato Moritaka's performance.It's still a familiar melody, but it's a completely different feeling.

It is different from the "17 Years Old" in memory.

After listening to the record, Daigo Nakagawa thought of something, went to the bookshelf, and found Nan Saori's "17 Years Old".As a loyal fan, even though he is almost 30 years old, he still retains fond memories of Nan Saori.

Putting Nansha Zhi's "17 Years Old" on the record player, the familiar and nostalgic music sounded, and a sense of the times came over us.

This is "17 Years Old", which is completely different from Moritaka Chisato. Daigo Nakagawa recalled Kawabata Yoshiichiro's words in the article, and he was full of emotion for some reason.

The re-adapted single made Dawu Nakagawa see the radiance of the old songs in the new era.
