old events in tokyo

Chapter 6
Kazuki Akiyama came to the izakaya called Yoshidaya with ease, and at this time the store was already half full.

There was a burst of noise coming from outside the curtain, and Akiyama Kazuki couldn't help speeding up his steps into the store to a familiar corner, and sat down cross-legged.

Before Kazuki Akiyama greeted him, the waiter Michiko had already walked over with the menu.Seeing that Michiko took the lead, another waiter, Yuna, had no choice but to pick up the menu and greet the middle-aged uncle who was yelling at another table.

"Good evening, Akiyama-kun, do you still want the cod rice bowl set with two glasses of misu sake?" Because Kazuki Akiyama often eats this dish, Michiko is already familiar with Kazuki Akiyama to confirm whether to order this dish.

"Bring me a glass of draft beer first." Kazuki Akiyama nodded in return, and added another sentence.Although I plan to take the road of music in the future, I should control my diet and protect my voice.

But firstly, the alcohol content of sake and beer is low, and secondly, Kazuki Akiyama doesn't drink much each time, and he also plans to drink as little as possible in the future.After all, this is what you need to eat.

Kazuki Akiyama sat down and looked around, all kinds of people filled this small izakaya.Especially today is Friday, and there are more people who rarely come to relax than usual.

Although the economy was in a downturn after the bubble, the number of customers in izakaya has increased, and office workers who are more stressed are increasingly favoring this kind of place where they can vent their stress and relax with low cost.

The Hachioji Hotel, the Red Romance Nightclub, the extravagant entertainment venues of the past are gradually getting farther and farther away from ordinary office workers, so izakaya has become one of the few choices.

Kazuki Akiyama even saw a slightly drunk middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s leave the table and stand up to perform a Noh play. The colleagues at the same table were laughing and clapping to the beat, while desperately pouring alcohol on the younger generation at the same table.

Those juniors obviously had bitter expressions on their faces, but they had to pinch their noses and drink it with a smile on their faces, and then left the table in embarrassment amidst the laughter of the seniors and ran to the bathroom.

Shaking his head, Kazuki Akiyama really couldn't understand this kind of social etiquette and wine table culture. As a junior, he had almost no right to refuse. If it was placed in China, believe it or not, the new generation of young people would leave the table in minutes.

Qi Qiushan Kazuki let go of the dishes he ordered, and began to enjoy his dinner leisurely.

"Has Yuuto-kun really decided?"

"I'm sorry, Taozi, my mother's old illness relapsed, and her health is getting worse and worse. When I was a child, she worked odd jobs to raise me and encouraged me to come to Tokyo to pursue my dreams.

But now that she is alone and needs someone to take care of her, I can't turn a blind eye, otherwise I can't forgive myself.Tao Zi, I am sorry for you! "

"Yu Dou-kun, you are not wrong, it's just that you know that what you did is right, but you still want you to stay very selfishly. My parents have agreed that I will date you. Maybe next year we will have a relationship. A home, I don't care how big the rented apartment is, just being able to wake up with Yuto-kun every day is already very satisfying." A series of sobs,

"But seeing that the life I'm looking forward to will soon come true, but I can only watch it turn around and leave, I can't catch it no matter what, I'm really not reconciled, You Dou-kun!" discourse.

"Sorry, Peaches!"

What was left was an unspeakable silence, and after a while behind Kazuki Akiyama came the sound of leaving the table.

Sighing silently, this noisy super metropolis does not know how many young people's dreams are buried every day, and it does not know how many young people come here with dreams.As it was before, so it is with him now.

Kazuki Akiyama had no interest in staying any longer after finishing his own dinner, and was going back to his apartment.When he got up, he saw a young man lying on the table behind him, twitching his shoulders from time to time, with a tilted wine glass beside him.

After returning to the apartment, it was past nine o’clock. After washing, Kazuki Akiyama lay on his back on the tatami mat. His slightly drunk mind was filled with the scene in the izakaya just now, and the scene of his mother humming folk songs while taking care of himself when he was a child. The scene of the younger brother sleeping soundly in the rocking cradle, I fell asleep unknowingly in the mist.

守りもいやがる

tired of waiting

ぼんからさきにゃ
Obon Festival is approaching
snow もちらつくし

snowflakes falling gently
submokukushi

baby is crying too
この子よう死く

the child is crying
守りをばいじる

It's hard to keep him
Shou り も [-] day

One day is one day

やせるやら

The body is getting thinner
はよも行きたや

get out quickly

この在所こえて

leave this place
Kazuki Akiyama entered that strange dream again, but this time there was no synchronous picture like the last MV.Some are just various fragments of mother taking care of herself and her younger brother when she was young.

Just memorized the melody and lyrics, suddenly the screen turned, and a completely different melody appeared, a group of young people holding guitars and playing happily on the stage.

Servant はもう一人で
i'm alone again

このTragedy Night
on this sad night
The picture stopped abruptly at this point, and the sound became chaotic and disorderly. Kazuki Akiyama could not hear clearly no matter how concentrated he was.

Just when Akiyama Kazuki was secretly anxious, a white light came into view.Subconsciously closed his eyes and opened them again, what caught his eyes was the gray ceiling of the apartment, the glaring sunlight outside the window hit Kazuki Akiyama's face, making him squint his eyes subconsciously, this scene made Kazuki Akiyama suddenly confused Reality or dream.

A few minutes later, Kazuki Akiyama climbed up and came to the desk to pick up a blank paper, and wrote down the melody words that appeared in the dream one by one on the paper.

First, there was the folk song that my mother hummed. This is a folk song from Kyoto Prefecture called "Takeda Lullaby", which appeared very early.

Even without last night's dream Kazuki Akiyama could hum a few words.But the melody in the dream last night seemed to be different from what Akiyama Kazuki knew well.

According to the score on the paper, Kazuki Akiyama also hummed it.I found that the rhythm and melody of this folk song is more compact, and it sounds more catchy. This should not be regarded as a pure folk song, but closer to pop music.

Now that the melody has changed, the more plaintive lyrics in the original song may not be suitable.So Akiyama Kazuki revised and revised it on the paper again, and after a while, he read it again and smiled with satisfaction.

Although a few lines of the lyrics have been changed, the overall emotional tone has not changed much. It mainly expresses the distress of a mother with a child who longs to get in touch with the outside world but has to take care of her child at home.

This is different from the theme of the original song, which expresses yearning for family members and longing for the outside world as a servant, but Kazuki Akiyama prefers the revised version.

Then there was another piece of paper with only one or two semi-incomplete lyrics and melody, and Kazuki Akiyama frowned and thought hard for a long time, but he didn't have a clue.

In his previous life, he knew little about RB music, so he couldn't find out which song it was from the later life based on these two incomplete lyrics.

Kazuki Akiyama has no good solution to this, and can only look forward to the next dream with a complete lyrics and melody or more information clues.

It is said that this is the first time Kazuki Akiyama encounters a dream that can inspire not only original new songs, but also songs that existed very early, but the melody and rhythm are a little different.

And what the dream can inspire is no longer just a single song, there may be other song melodies, although incomplete, they do exist.

Kazuki Akiyama didn't bother with these things this time, since he couldn't change anything about it, he simply stopped thinking about it.

The important thing is to seize the opportunity and make your future music career smoother, which is what you need to focus on now.And maybe there will be other changes in the dream in the future, who can tell.

At this time, Kazuki Akiyama picked up the pager next to his pillow and checked that the time was close to 10:30, and there was a message on the pager. The number should be from Ishida Takumi.

Kazuki Akiyama was not in a hurry to call back, it was already late anyway, and Ishida Takumi did not call again, so let him wait for a while.

Kazuki Akiyama got up and prepared to tidy himself up today. Standing in front of the mirror, he found that his hair was a little long and covered his eyes. I don’t know if RB people prefer this hairstyle or RB women prefer this hairstyle. Kazuki Akiyama found this Most of the male RB artists at that time, whether they were idols or singers, had half-length hair and bangs.

For this, Kazuki Akiyama still likes the hairstyle of his previous life, and the bangs are a little shorter so that he looks more energetic.But it's definitely too late to make trouble today, so let's just make do with it.

After sorting out these things, Kazuki Akiyama took his guitar and went out to call Ishida Takumi.
