Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 184 Ainu
As expected, the cast list appeared on TV:

Song: "Ainu People"

Lyricist: Takakura Bunta

Composer: Bunta Takakura

Singer: The Beasts Band

As the cast appeared, a high-spirited and lively flute tune sounded, and several small fireworks exploded on the stage.

On the stage are a group of girls wearing traditional Ainu costumes. They are from the Sapporo National Song and Dance Troupe, a dance troupe sponsored by the Hokkaido NGO Shakushain Foundation.

After more than twenty seconds of prelude, the dancing girls dispersed.

Takakura Bunta appeared on the stage wearing an open black windbreaker, followed by guitarist Tony Futari and bassist Akina Nakamori.

Accompanied by the powerful band music, Takakura Bunta's passionate and powerful voice rang out.

…………

From the Ishikari River that has traveled 5,000 miles

The Wuling Fortress is still under reconstruction
The Ainu after all history faded

Gathered into the sunset and dyed me

…………

From the Eastward Journey of 5,000 Years
Or the legendary King Qin
All the Qin bamboo slips and tiger talismans found in the Tsugaru Strait
Just wait for me to give it a name
Ainu people came to the earth
Stand up with a new chest
Ainu people walking on the road
The world knows I am different

…………

The more turbulent, the braver
The world is changing and I need to break through
A frank and open person

After five thousand years, it's finally my turn to take the stage
…………

"Ahhh, so handsome."

Hirosue Ryoko turned around and looked at the excited Liu Qianqian in silence.

Liu Qianqian was eating ice cream with chocolate sauce all over her mouth, and she was completely absorbed in the TV.

Hirosue Ryoko complained in her heart, even though he is your godfather, you are too excited.

However, she didn't have the heart to care about Liu Qianqian at the moment. She turned around and looked at Takakura Bunta on TV with starry eyes.

Today, Takakura Bunta is indeed domineering...

The melody is passionate, and there is a kind of rebelliousness on his face that refuses to accept arrangements. He sings with abandon, his temperament is unrestrained and full of masculine hormonal charm.

Takakura Bunta is already quite proficient in using Conqueror's Haki on stage.

However, this is the first time that Conqueror's Haki has been used on a platform of the level of the NHK Red and White Song Contest in front of a national television broadcast.

Hirosue Ryoko showed her fangirl eyes, and not only the two of them, but also many female audiences across the country were blinded by Takakura Bunta. Even the male audiences, who seemed to be dismissive, were muttering in their hearts: "This song is so cool..."

…………

Bunta Takakura was on the stage and didn't know the reaction outside the TV, but he could still clearly feel the enthusiastic feedback from the audience.

He sang harder and harder, his voice became louder and fuller, and he sang the chorus with an almost shouting attitude.

As the song reached its climax, the lights on the stage changed instantly, becoming more colorful.

The audience was infected by this powerful aura and stood up to cheer and applaud, and the whole scene fell into a state of madness.

…………

Takakura Bunta's "Ainu People" is a variation of Xie Feng's "Yellow Man".

He chose this song not only because of its inspiring melody, but most importantly because of the meaning of the lyrics. The lyrics are full of strong national emotions and it is easy to add personal opinions.

Singing this song on a stage like the NHK Red and White Songs Contest is tantamount to endorsing the new cultural relics unearthed by the Hokkaido NGO Shakushain Foundation from the Hokkaido Jomon Site Group - a large number of Qin Dynasty bamboo slips and bronze tripods.

This song is essentially a spin-off of "The Book of Time"...

Shape the sense of identity of new and old Ainu immigrants in Hokkaido and strengthen an imagined Ainu community.

On the one hand, it is to build momentum for Mimihaji PMC's next move...

On the other hand, Totland Capital's PAC (Political Action Committee) also gave a special grant to the Yuuki Supporters Association.

Strengthen control over the Hokkaido Assembly and try to use this round of "Ainu" cultural offensive to expand the number of seats for neutral parties in Congress.

This is how cultural hegemony works.

..............................

Go forward courageously regardless of the consequences
Only we, the Ainu people
There is no wound that cannot be healed.

Only the most ancient power
All the Ainu scattered across the land

Carrying tenacity across the Tsugaru Strait
The more turbulent, the braver
…………

Leave it to us Ainu people
A magnanimous
Land granting
Look how I act like a hero!!!
…………

But no matter what, after the last line of the lyrics was sung, the three members of the Beasts band bowed and left the stage.
The second NHK Red and White Songs Contest came to a successful conclusion.

However, the five members of the Arashi band who performed after him, namely Ohno Satoshi, the captain of the band, Sho Sakurai, Masaki Aiba, Kazunari Ninomiya, and Jun Matsumoto, were completely dumbfounded.

The venue was completely blown away by Takakura Bunta's singing.

Now I want to instantly draw the audience's attention and emotions back, and start with the hell difficulty directly...
