Tokyo's most affectionate

After the operation was completed, Kurosawa Hikaru stood up and walked outside with the SLR camera.

"Kurosawa... No, Zero O'clock, wasn't it scheduled to play Flight of the Bumblebee today? Why was it changed to Croatian Rhapsody?"

As soon as he came out, Igarashi Runa hurried to greet him.

"I've thought about it seriously these past few days. Flight of the Bumblebee is an adaptation after all, and the effect isn't explosive enough. Just before I played it, I suddenly had an inspiration. I could improve on the original version, so I decided to go with this one."

Kurosawa Hikaru was wearing a mask so his expression couldn't be seen, but his words were calm.

"But wouldn't that be a waste? This piece of music is your original piano piece. It would be better to hire a professional photographer."

Igarashi Runa still finds it a little hard to accept it.

In her opinion, Croatian Rhapsody is absolutely a masterpiece and a piano piece that will definitely become a hit. Only by making more preparations can its power burst out.

"Before that, how about taking a look at the finished product?"

Seeing that she was anxious, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled slightly.

"Ok."

Because his voice was very calm and composed, Igarashi Runa gradually calmed down and nodded.

Then they started watching.

……

YouTube is the world's largest video search platform.

The number of users on this platform is extremely exaggerated, and it also has tens of millions of creators.

Of course, there are good and bad creators.

In a villa in Hokkaido, on a sunny summer day, a beautiful black-haired beauty wearing a tank top, with an extremely hot body, a curvy figure, and super short shorts, sat down in front of the computer.

"Which song should I play today? See what everyone else is playing."

Open YouTube, click on the search engine, enter the keyword piano, filter the latest releases, and the black-haired beauty doesn't forget to mutter.

She is Shizuka Kitajima, a full-time youtober, a member of high-quality creators, and a piano artist. With her good looks, super hot body, sexy outfits, and beautiful piano skills, she has 113 million channel subscriptions and fans Count as many as 200 million.

The number of views of each of her videos is basically over two to three million, making her one of the most popular piano composers.

Of course, she is also well aware that her fans are not watching her playing the piano at all, but watching her playing the piano in different sexy uniforms.

A lot of people scolded her, because the number of views has no bottom line, it is immoral, and the reputation of the piano is ruined... But who cares, anyway, she just needs to make enough money to make videos. She has already bought a big villa in her hometown and lived a rich life of life.

All she has to do is find a popular piano piece every day, and then consider her outfit style when playing based on the style of the piece.

While searching for the latest releases, suddenly the title of a video caught her attention.

"Croatian Rhapsody" The pain of war.

"What kind of song is this? Why haven't I seen it before..."

Shizuka Kitajima was a little surprised. Although she was a prostitute, she had put in countless sweat and effort to learn piano when she was young, and she had heard of all kinds of piano music in the world.

The next moment, she saw the cover, her eyes were suddenly attracted, and she even held her breath.

The cover of the video is a Steinway grand piano, which is super expensive and is one of the pianos she most wants to buy.

But this is not the point, there is a person standing in front of the piano.

A tuxedo, a gentleman hat, a white shirt, a black bow tie, and a mask, with a huge circle drawn on a black background, he stood upright, his slender arms hanging down, and his fingers lightly pressing the keys.

His outfit and the Steinway piano complement each other perfectly, as if they were a match made in heaven.

Solemn, sacred, handsome, and extraordinary, the feeling this cover photo gives people is extremely impactful.

"what is this?"

Seeing this cover and outfit, she was shocked.

Because she is still very young and relies on selling her body to play the piano, she is not the only one. There were many predecessors before her, so in order to catch up with everyone, she puts a lot of effort into her dressing.

But at this moment, when she saw this cover and the sense of camera in this cover photo, she was deeply impressed and amazed!

Instinctively, she clicked on it.

Even though she had never seen or heard this song, the artistic conception revealed by the video cover alone was enough to attract her.

She believed that no one who played the piano could resist the charm of this photo.

This video has very few views. It was just uploaded and has only a few hundred views. It has not yet become popular. If it were in the past, she would definitely not watch it and would not bother to refer to it.

However, she took a look at the data and the author's name "Zero Hour" and started playing the video.

The next moment, the video started playing.

At the beginning of the video, the person on the cover is facing the camera and introducing himself:

“I am Zero Hour, and this is a piano piece I composed called Croatian Rhapsody.”

His voice is very nice, magnetic and deep, just like a mature and elegant man.

After saying that, the camera shifted and pointed at the piano. The man adjusted his posture, raised his hands, and slowly lowered them.

The performance at zero hour has begun.

Chapter 142: Don't mess with your relatives

The moment the sound of the piano rang out, Shizuka Kitami's soul seemed to be hit by something and she was instantly attracted.

Different from classical piano music, this is a category of modern piano music, like those specially written for animation soundtracks.

The melody is passionate, high-pitched, bright and fast, but every note of the piano seems to penetrate the ears and pierce into the heart.

The feeling is hard to describe. When you hear it for the first time, it is like the sound of nature, which makes you deeply immersed in it and unable to come back to your senses for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took, but when the song ended, the video also ended.

"Da da."

Shizuka Kitami said nothing, but moved the hand holding the mouse slightly.

She subconsciously clicked on the homepage of the video author, but there was nothing there, only a few hundred subscriptions and one video.

Returning to the video page, she clicked on the video introduction again.

"Written for the pain of war in Croatia."

Just a short sentence, no extra words, and no further introduction, it arouses curiosity and touches people.

The so-called rhapsody, this genre is usually composed based on folk music themes and uses highly difficult techniques.

Its prominent features are imagination, improvisation and especially freedom.

Many rhapsodies were created on a whim of the pianist.

She was silent for a long time, subconsciously clicked the "like" button, then took out a pair of cat-ear headphones, put them on her head, and clicked on the video again.

"I am Zero Hour, and this is a piano piece I wrote called Croatian Rhapsody."

At the same time, the mysterious pianist named Zero Hour, who was wearing a tuxedo and a gentleman's hat and had no visible face, appeared on the screen again.

Immediately afterwards, this piano piece was played again, through the headphones, touching the heartstrings and penetrating the soul.

Perhaps it was because I read the introduction that I further understood the original meaning of this piano piece. Even if I listened to it again immediately, I still had a completely different feeling.

She didn't know what Croatia was, but she knew from the introduction that the place had experienced a tragic and terrible war.

It was with this realization that she listened again, and her heart resonated.

This passionate and high-pitched melody, bright and fast notes, seem to be telling a story.

What kind of story is that? It depends on the person. What touched her was that it reminded her of her past self.

She has been learning piano since she was a child, and has appeared on various stages and participated in competitions. She has had successes and failures, but her performance has been excellent. This has made her full of yearning for life and proud of herself, calling herself a piano artist.

When did it start... It seemed like it was after I graduated from college, left the big stage of school, and came to the cruel society.

The piano skills that she was proud of and admired when she was a student are now worthless in the professional piano world.

In this era, piano is too niche compared to pop music, and the pie is so small that there is not enough to share.

She has no fame, and it is difficult for her to be accepted by the upper class, nor is she famous enough to sell records... She wants to make a living by playing the piano and music, so she can only perform in places like Jingba and receive a meager salary.

Maybe she couldn't hold a concert, but she was still optimistic and decided to start from the beginning and become famous step by step.

The reality was very smooth. Even on such a small stage, she quickly accumulated a lot of fans.

But the good times didn't last long, she found that her fans didn't care what piano piece she played, they just wanted to look at a beautiful woman on the stage while eating and drinking.

We were able to discover this thanks to our boss, who conveyed the fans' opinions to her, hoping that she would change her style and dress in a different way, not just the same old way.

As a piano artist, how could she accept that others did not listen to her piano? She resigned angrily and changed her battlefield.

In two years, she went to several quiet bars and several restaurants.

But in the end, no one cared about how well she played the piano. People just felt fresh in seeing a hot and curvy beauty playing on the stage.

People were happy to see this happen. After all, they could look at her unscrupulously while drinking, staring at her skirt, hoping to see more, staring at her neckline, craving for more.

After two years of stagnation, she became discouraged and left the big city of Tokyo and returned to her hometown in Hokkaido.

After wasting some time, she had to find a job because of her parents' urging. She set her sights on YouTube and began to imitate many predecessors and play the piano on the Internet.

However, her piano skills, although perhaps popular among students, are not worth mentioning from a professional perspective.

Even if anyone watched her performance, it was not often, and the fans and audience were the same as those in Jing Bar, and some even recognized her.

No feedback, no fans, no recognition... She didn't know when she fell into depravity. She no longer followed the example of her predecessors. Instead, she was hit by reality and pressure, and turned to learn from those authors who made cosplay uniforms and even swimsuits.

Until now, she has long forgotten the original intention of learning piano as a child and has become obsessed with money and material things.

"Zero hour."

Filled with emotion, Shizuka Kitami looked at the website that had long stopped playing, looked at the frozen figure, and couldn't help calling out the name with reverence.

Her eyes were burning, as if they had rekindled the fire of hope in the dead silence.

Even though reality is cruel and terrible, hope will never be lost.

This piano piece may be telling you something like this… Even if it’s full of holes, I’ll start from scratch!

Then, she chose to forward and share this piano piece, and even typed on the keyboard.

What's more, she not only forwarded it to her own community, Twitter, Facebook, and all other accounts that can share it.

She wants to introduce her idol to everyone.

She wanted to use this action as a starting point to pick up her piano dream again!

On this day, in Japan and abroad, one after another, people who were interested in piano clicked on this video.

"I am Zero Hour."

"I am Zero Hour."

"I am Zero Hour."

This self-introduction echoed in different places in Neon. Some people read it on their mobile phones, while others read it on their computers.

What’s even more terrifying is that this piano piece seems to contain a magical power.

It is shocking, touching, full of mixed emotions and admirable.

For people learning piano, this video is extremely powerful.

……

It's six o'clock in the evening, the sky is getting dark, somewhere in Tokyo, in the Zero Hour Office.

After the filming was completed and the video was uploaded, Kurosawa Hikaru did not go home, but sat in the lounge on the third floor with his two partners.

Because their debut was made through the video platform YouTube, they are still waiting for the results.

Igarashi Runa bent over slightly, facing a laptop, holding the mouse in her right hand and typing on the keyboard with her left hand, refreshing the web page from time to time and performing various operations.

“It’s on the homepage of the music channel!”

She kept refreshing various pages. After all, she had been a manager and had posted various songs and videos on YouTube, so she was very familiar with various operations.

What's more, in order to keep up with the times and trends, she usually plays YouTube.
