old events in tokyo

Then with the one word spoken the locks were broken
Your simple words let me let go of the heavy shackles

Now He's leading me to places
Now he leads me forward

Where there are no tears
To the heaven where you never cry

down by the riverside
walk along the river
...

Kazuki Akiyama hugged the guitar and plucked the strings cheerfully. The foreigners who watched in front of him also shook their bodies slightly, and spontaneously danced in front of him to the beat.

I laid my burdens down
I unload

Now I'm traveling light
Now I travel light

My spirit lifted high
I am in good spirits

I found my freedom now
now i found my freedom

...

The clear and clear sound and the bright melody with a strong sense of rhythm attract more and more tourists on the street to stop and watch.

After a while, a large group of people gathered here, and Kazuki Akiyama nodded to a foreign friend who was accompanying him, and then quickly dialed a few melodies to tune in, and the performance ended.

"Wow-", "咻~" The sound of applause and whistle came from the crowd at the same time when he stopped playing.

"Thank You~" Kazuki Akiyama gave a gentleman's salute to everyone, causing them to laugh in good faith.

"Oh Jesus, it's so great!" The red-haired foreigner Henry, who had just accompanied him, gave Kazuki Akiyama a big hug.

"Thank you, you are great too." Kazuki Akiyama patted him on the back.

In the front of the crowd, Izumi Sakai clapped his little hands happily, his bright smile made dimples appear on the corners of his mouth.

"Man, believe me, your song will definitely be popular! I swear in the name of God!" Henry pulled Akiyama Kazuki and was still chattering, urging him to record this song into a record.

"Henry, thank you. To tell you the truth, I am actually a singer, but I am not active here.

But when you might be able to hear this song recorded on an album in the future, don't forget to support me. "

"Hey man, trust me, I will definitely recommend you to my friends."

Akiyama Kazuki smiled and teased him a few more words, then took his leave and left.

This is the streets of Nice, France. He and Izumi Sakai traveled around the tourist cities near the Mediterranean Sea, and happened to see someone performing on the street. His hands were itchy, and he couldn't help but go up and perform an English song.

In fact, the English proficiency of most French people is not flattering, but the brisk melody of this song "Traveling Light" does not affect everyone's feeling of ease in the song.

Foreigners who are very active in the atmosphere danced around him one after another. I have to say that their enthusiastic performance and the fans in Japan who are reserved and outsourced are completely two extremes.

But after feeling it carefully, I also feel that each has its own merits, and it is normal for different cultures to express emotions differently.

"I really didn't expect that Kazuki's English is also very good." Sakai Izumi who met him seemed to know him again, his eyes were full of surprise.

"My sister's English is also surprising." Akiyama Kazuki smiled.

But what he said was also true. Izumi Sakai's spoken language did not have the magical accent that most Japanese speak English.

On the contrary, it is very standard, which may have something to do with the English major she studied in the short university.

As for Kazuki Akiyama, he had worked in a foreign company in his previous life, so simple daily communication was no problem.

"The song is also excellent, with the relaxed feeling of traveling. It's rare to hear Kazuki sing English songs."

The songs released by Kazuki Akiyama are basically in local languages.Such a purely western song is rare in the Japanese music scene, not to mention him.

After all, Japan's entertainment industry is notoriously closed, and they basically play by themselves behind closed doors.

It's not that no artists have thought about opening up foreign markets, but very few have succeeded.

And once you can't make any splashes, and then return to China in disgrace, you may be abandoned by your former fans and become a laughing stock among your colleagues.

Japan is like this, while looking towards the Western market, while maintaining its own reserve.

If anyone can open up the western market, his popularity in Japan will be even higher.But if it fails, it will lose even its local base, and it will be ridiculed by the media.

The whole body is a combination of contradictions, the mouth dislikes the body integrity.

However, Kazuki Akiyama has no idea in this regard at present, let's talk about Japan first.

"Time flies so fast, it's time to go back in a blink of an eye." Sakai Izumi glanced at the surrounding streets with some nostalgia, this unrestrained feeling is really fascinating.

"If you want, you can do it in the future. The future will be long." Kazuki Akiyama held her hand to comfort her, the future is indeed very long.

"Yeah." Sakai Izumi turned her head and smiled softly.

The two held hands and walked slowly towards the hotel when they came. Today they will take the flight back to Japan and set off for Japan.

There are still a lot of things waiting for them there, such as what she said before, the concert.

...

It was said that it was preparing a special concert for her, but Kazuki Akiyama also racked his brains about the format of the concert.

When she suddenly made such a request, Kazuki Akiyama had already vaguely understood something at that time.

So as soon as he returned to Japan, he went straight to Nagato Taiko's office to discuss with him about the Sakai Izumi concert.

Taiko Nagato, who had received his call in advance, was also well prepared. According to his suggestion, the format of the concert would be held in the form of a cruise ship concert.

Concert tickets are not open to the public, but fans can buy ZARD's 15th longest single "Can't See Love" or the sixth album "Forever you".

Their CDs will include a letter of intent to apply for LIVE. Fans fill out the questionnaire and send the card back to the record company, and the staff will draw a lottery to get the LIVE viewing qualification.

In the words of Nagato Taiko, it is because ZARD has not held a concert.In this way, you can both test the audience's reaction and ensure that the concert is full.

As for the choice of cruise ship, Nagato Taiko prefers a yacht like the Nippon Maru, which is not very large and can accommodate four to five hundred passengers.

But Kazuki Akiyama took a fancy to the "Crystal Harmony", the largest and most luxurious cruise ship in Japan.

This cruise ship was renamed "Asuka 2" in later generations, and until the 20s, it was still the largest luxury cruise ship in Japan.

"Jun Qiushan, if you choose the Crystal Harmony, the cost of this concert will skyrocket."

Nagato Taiyuki glanced at Kazuki Akiyama helplessly, you made your girlfriend happy, but I paid for it, okay?

"I will be responsible for the rental fee of the cruise ship." Kazuki Akiyama responded to him calmly, as if to say another trivial thing.

"It's such a happy decision." Nagato Taiyuki immediately got up and rushed to arrange ZARD's concert, as if he was afraid that Kazuki Akiyama would go back on his word.

Looking at Taiyuki Nagato's back, Kazuki Akiyama shook his head. Being's stingy tradition must have inherited Taiyuki Nagato's character.
