Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 63 The Art of Explosion (fourth update completed)

In the recording hall on the second floor of the TBS TV Tower, in the bathroom at the back entrance.

"Thank you for the hospitality, ma'am."

"I'm going to rehearse first to prepare."

Takakura Bunta politely closed the bathroom door and headed to the actors' dressing room.

…………

Damn it...

The last rehearsal time is coming, otherwise Bunta Takakura really doesn't want to leave.

Mrs. Takemoto Rikako's black kimono was the main body, decorated with red flowers, and she held a red and black Japanese folding fan in her hand, which looked both elegant and mysterious.

The sleeves of this kimono are very loose, which makes her look more free and easy. At the same time, the red pattern on the kimono also adds a unique look to the overall look.

Especially at the end, in the narrow bathroom stall, from that overlooking angle, she simply tied up her hair, raised her head, and saw her big, clear and bright eyes...

…………

Anyway, this time, thanks to Mrs. Rikako Takemoto’s help.

Only the Beast Rock Band could break through Johnny's publicity blockade and successfully participate in TBS TV's late-night music program "UTABAN" (song program).

Gao Cangbunta is of course a drop of water, and a spring of kindness is repaid.

Even in the restroom of the TV station, it must be filled with quality and quantity...

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

The ratings of TBS TV station's "UTABAN" (song show) program have been sluggish. Even on weekends, the average ratings are only 4.2%.

In particular, TV Asahi Tower's similar music program, MUSIC STATION (Japanese Chart: Music Station) program, recently invited Aaron who is promoting the movie "City Hunter".

Aaron sang the ending song of "City Hunter" on the show, and the show's ratings were as high as 8.5%.

The ratings for the rebroadcast the next day were 11.8%, setting a new record for music programs.

Such strong competitors have made the situation of TBS TV's "UTABAN" even worse.

Rumor has it that the entire team is at risk of being laid off.

…………

According to Bunta Takakura's request for lighting at the show, only lead singer Bunta Takakura and guitarist Tony Futaki could be seen at the beginning.

The other bass player was always in the shadow of the light, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Bunta Takakura first sang "Miracle Reappearance" and "Clouds and Smoke Turn into Rain", while Tony Futaki strummed the strings to accompany him...

Then he sang another song "Kill That Tokyo Man", and Tony Futaki also sang a part.

The audience at the scene was in good condition under the emotional arousal of the song.

Especially when Tony Ermu sang, the boys became excited.

"This is an actor from Poseidon Films."

"The recent gym episode was really well acted..."

"Who is this?" a girl asked curiously.

"Action actor, good at acting, never uses a stand-in, often takes the same shot, and looks like whatever he is acting..."

The boy in the audience patiently explained.

The girl looked at the guitarist with a strong haircut and exclaimed: "That's amazing!!"

Another male spectator added: "Singing is not his home field. If he performs at his home court, he can be even better."

…………

After the three songs were sung, the lights were dimmed, and there was no one in the audience.

Then, the bassist, who had been in the shadows, stepped into the light.

The audience immediately began to whisper.

"Isn't this Akina Nakamori?"

"Is she in this new band?"

"I don't know. I only heard that she committed suicide and the golden screen incident."

"That incident must have been a big blow. I thought she was going to retire..."

…………

There is a low soliloquy at the beginning of "Heartwork" (Psychological Effect).

ねぇもしも,
  Now, what if...

All in all,

If you can give up everything,
  笑って生きることが楽になるの,

Will it be easier to live with a smile?

…………

The audience's voices slowly dropped, but they were still a little disappointed when they heard Akina Nakamori's slightly hoarse voice.

This voice is obviously damaged by tobacco and alcohol.

Also, the lyrics are typical of Akira Nakamori's style, and it's another "Hard to Break"-style lyrical song.

Some viewers even directly predicted it in their hearts.

The middle and long notes must be deliberately lengthened at the end of the sentence to create a very saturated and penetrating "Akina vibrato" singing style.

so boring……

…………

As the song slowly progressed, the audience began to notice something was wrong.

Akina Nakamori’s singing and painting style started to look wrong.

There is a sense of sight like Lin Daiyu uprooting the weeping willows and Sun Wukong going straight to Hulao Pass. The rhythm of the entire song also began to change suddenly.

Akina Nakamori desperately wanted to express her feelings and strong personal style.

The elements of power, speed, pitch, roar, and fluctuation are completely different from previous Akina Nakamori songs.

…………

Too cruel, too cruel,

もういっそPUの体を,
  Just put my body,
  壊して inducing き开いて,

Destroy it! Tear it apart! ! ! !

…………

好きなようにしてよ,
  Do with it as you like,

It's called んで掻いて,
  No matter how you cry or struggle,
  …………

どうしてもPUには,

No matter what……

Understand ができないよ,

I can't understand it,

It hurts, it hurts,

It hurts so much, it hurts so much,

译萉で教えてよ

Teach me with words,
  こんなの知らないよ,
  I don't understand such things,

…………

As the song ended, a girl in the audience couldn't hold back her emotions and cried.

Then several other girls started sobbing as well.

"I feel like the wind is filling my chest, and I feel like crying."

"Never love someone so easily, because in the end he may become someone you hate!"

"The last paragraph is a direct hit to the heart, the kind of scream that comes from the heart."

"I really want to cry and vent all my emotions through this song."

…………

Suddenly, the audience in the front row of the auditorium noticed something was wrong.

"What are they doing?"

"That screen looks so familiar, it's golden..."

"Isn't this the screen for Kondo Masahiko's news?"

The burly Takakura Bunta came to the scene carrying a golden screen.

Tony Futaki followed behind, holding a pile of letters, posters and other things. A poster of Masahiko Kondo could be vaguely seen.

These pile up in the center of the stage.

The on-site executive director was also confused and couldn't figure out the situation.

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

Bunta Takakura lit a cigarette and gave the lighter to Akina Nakamori.

Nakamori Akina glanced at Takakura Bunta and lit the screens, love letters, posters, etc. that had been soaked in gasoline...

Flames shot into the sky and piercing sirens sounded.

The Art of Exploding!
  …………

Akina Nakamori played the guitar again, singing like a hysterical baby bird, crying blood and mourning, and the sound suddenly penetrated the entire chaotic scene.

The flames danced around her, and her singing became more passionate.

She seemed to be one with the flames, and her singing became the soul of the flames.

In the dazzling firelight, you can vaguely see the tears of Akina Nakamori...

…………

cool いよ cool いよ,

Too cruel, too cruel,

もういっそPUの体を,
  Just put my body,
  壊して inducing き开いて,

Destroy, tear apart,

好きなようにしてよ,
  Do with it as you like,

It's called んで掻いて,
  No matter how you cry or struggle,
  ....................................

Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded and shocked.

This has become art! ! !

This episode of TBS TV station's "UTABAN" program had an explosive effect, with a late-night ratings of 7.5%.

The next day this famous scene appeared on the front pages of all television and newspapers.

TBS TV station rebroadcast this program, with a ratings of 31.7%.

This is an achievement that has never been achieved before or since in Japanese music programs.

…………

Nakamori Akina and the ace combination of "Heart Made" (psychological effect) successfully achieved the king's effect.

The popularity of "Heart Made" also led to the crazy sales of the album "Kill, Miracle, Heart"...
