Tokyo's most affectionate

The piano piece "Croatian Rhapsody" is very nice to listen to. To many laymen, it is even stunning and astonishing.

But in fact, it is not difficult to play, and it is not a piano solo piece, so the piano-only version would be a bit monotonous.

In contrast, the classic pieces of the Piano Prince, Richard Clayderman, "Adeline by the Waterside", "Wedding in a Dream", "Autumn Whispers", and many other pieces, are all piano solos.

Such a piece of music is more suitable for performance in occasions such as piano competitions, after all, the people present are all knowledgeable.

"Okay, I'll go and negotiate." As an agent, Runa is good at discovering the advantages and strengths of others, and trusting the judgment and ideas of the artists.

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After deciding this matter, Kurosawa Hikaru closed the group chat.

During this process, Chizuru Ninomiya never appeared, probably because she was peeking at the screen.

"good evening."

Thinking of this, Kurosawa Mitsuru also sent her a message.

"Good evening. Is the Kyudo training so hard?"

Sure enough, following the private chat, Ninomiya Chizuru quickly replied.

I don't have time to relax until nine o'clock in the evening. Even work is not as hard as this.

“Because I want to win the championship.”

"Then there's no way."

Ninomiya Chizuru realized this situation and expressed her understanding.

The championship is a very important ranking because it represents the first place.

Getting first place, no matter what it is, is not easy.

"You must come and see my performance tomorrow night."

Kurosawa Guang was calculating what was going to happen tomorrow night and said this.

"I will go." Ninomiya Chizuru agreed to this.

"Rest early, good night."

Having said that, since simple typing chats couldn't say much and couldn't convey any emotions, Kurosawa Hikaru decided to end the topic.

"Good night."

Ninomiya Chizuru was still working. After a brief greeting and chat, she continued to work.

After contacting her as usual, Kurosawa Hikaru also took out his mobile phone to check the messages sent by Yuki.

After reading it carefully, he made a video call.

"Brother Guang, good evening~ You are finally done with your work."

The video call was quickly accepted. Yuki Ichinose placed her phone on the small table in front of the bed as usual, sat cross-legged on the carpet, and waved at him with a smile.

"I'm not done yet. I just got home. I have to take a shower, wash clothes, and go to bed soon."

Kurosawa Hikaru was also sitting on the ground, chatting with her.

Unlike others, Yuki is the one who sticks to him the most. After all, she is free and uninhibited and will not hide her feelings and love.

"I didn't get home until nine o'clock. It was so tiring."

"You didn't get home until eight o'clock, not earlier than me."

"Because I went shopping with them. Friendships really need to be maintained. When Lan heard me say that I wanted to watch the Zero Hour show, she smiled so much that she hugged me and cheered."

Ichinose Yuki spread her hands, then supported herself on the ground with both hands, leaned over, and looked happy.

"Of course. No matter what you do, it's more interesting to have someone accompany you than to be alone."

Realizing that something like this had happened to them, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.

The world is big, and if you are alone, you will inevitably feel lonely.

"Indeed, the tickets for the show are quite expensive. One ticket costs 10,000 yen, and you have to fight for them."

Yuki Ichinose nodded, agreeing with this statement, and then she was a little surprised.

"This is considered cheap. After all, it is the final of the competition."

"Is this still cheap? What is expensive?"

"It depends on the specifications, performers and the size of the venue. Ticket prices around tens of thousands are normal."

Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and didn't say anything too exaggerated.

Tickets for idols' concerts, such as Fujiwara Rikka's super VIP tickets, are limited in number and can even be sold for 50,000 yen each.

As for the pianist's concert, he didn't ask, but the price should be about the same.

It only costs 10,000 yen to watch the show, which is very cheap.

"Wow..." Yuki Ichinose was shocked.

"Haven't you ever been to a concert before?"

"Except for Lan who likes to chase stars and goes occasionally, no one else is very interested...Does Guang chase stars?"

“I’ve never been a star chaser.”

Kurosawa Mitsuru shook his head without hesitation, even though he also had his favorite singers.

But in his previous life, he had at most bought a digital album of Jay Chou on the Internet, and had never been to any star's concert.

"I'm going to watch the performance of Master Zero Hour tomorrow night to see how his performance is. If it's good, how about we go to see it together next time?"

Ichinose Yuki was not surprised, and after thinking about it, she asked.

"Okay."

When Kurosawa Mitsuru heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he agreed immediately.

He could only agree to this matter verbally, and then find an excuse when the day came.

After all, he is Reitoki. How can Xiao Yuki watch Reitoki's performance with him? Is he watching himself perform on stage from the audience? He doesn't have the ability to clone himself.

The system has already made it clear that there are no superpowers... skills like the art of cloning are obviously impossible.

The two of them chatted happily via video on their phones, talking to each other.

"It's ten o'clock, Guang brother, you should go to bed. You have final exams this week."

As time passed, Yuki Ichinose kept her eyes on the time, and when it was 10 o'clock, she found the right opportunity to speak.

Although she really wanted to be with Brother Guang, even if it was just to talk or chat through the phone, Brother Guang still had things to do.

……

The next day, Kurosawa Hikaru came to school.

"Kurosawa, I heard you're going to participate in the Kyudo competition?"

As soon as I sat down, Yuta Miyazaki leaned over and asked.

"Where did you hear that?"

When Kurosawa Mitsuru heard this, he was stunned and felt strange.

He didn't tell anyone about this... and the few people who knew about it probably wouldn't spread it around.

"I don't know who told this, but I heard someone say that Kurosawa Hikaru also knows Kyudo and would look very handsome in a hakama. They also said that you might participate in the National University Kyudo Tournament at the Tokyo Budokan on August 8th. This news has spread quite a lot."

Miyazaki Yuta thought about it and explained.

Given this situation, there should be some students from the University of Tokyo coming to watch the fun.

Even though there aren't many people who know Kyudo, the competition is during the summer vacation after all, so they have nothing to do anyway.

“I do want to compete.”

Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and didn't deny it. Although he didn't know where the rumor came from, the emergence of rumors is usually not groundless.

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Don't you want me to cheer you up?"

After receiving his affirmation, Miyazaki Yuta couldn't help but complain.

"There are still so many days until the competition on August 8th. I was planning to tell you during the summer vacation."

"really?"

"real."

Kurosawa Hikaru did have this idea. After all, although he knew a lot of people at the University of Tokyo, this guy was his best friend.

While we were chatting, class started soon.

Ninomiya Chizuru also came to the classroom, took a routine look at the students, and then started the class.

Although it is a class, because tomorrow is the final exam, the key is to remind all students to cheer up and take the exam seriously rather than the knowledge of the content.

Maybe she had an unforgettable date with Kurosawa Hikaru on Saturday, but at school, she didn't show any strangeness and didn't let anyone notice any flaws.

Chapter 196 Kurosawa Hikaru is angry

During lunch break, Kurosawa Hikaru and Miyazaki Yuta came to the central cafeteria.

However, this time they chose a more remote and quiet place to sit down as usual.

"By the way, I heard that Zero Hour will be performing at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan tonight. Are you going to see it?" Yuta Miyazaki asked while eating when he vaguely heard everyone's conversation.

"No, I have an exam tomorrow and I have to prepare for it. How can I have time to watch a show?"

Kurosawa Mitsuru shook his head, knowing that he wanted to drag him along, and just said it directly.

"Although that's the case, going to watch a performance and relaxing your body and mind is also one of the ways to prepare for the exam."

Miyazaki Yuta disagrees with this.

"Why do you want to see it so much?" From his tone and attitude, Kurosawa Mitsuru felt that he was determined to go, and couldn't help feeling curious.

"Have you paid attention to the events of Zero Hour since then?"

"No, I just watched the video that day." Kurosawa Mitsuru shook his head.

He was extremely busy last week, with all kinds of things happening, and had no time to pay attention to anything happening online.

"Tsk tsk, it's such a shame that you didn't pay attention, especially these past two days, there was a huge quarrel online about the Zero Hour incident."

Realizing that he wasn't paying attention, Miyazaki Yuta couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Fighting? What are they fighting about?" Kurosawa Mitsuru asked while eating.

Seeing that he was willing to listen, Miyazaki Yuta thought about it for a while, considered his words, and explained them to him:

“Didn’t Zero Hour become famous overnight with that war-torn song, Croatian Rhapsody?

As for Zero Hour, after his video went viral, the group was divided into two factions, which you can understand as supporters and opponents.

The supporters, that is, Zero Hour's fans, all think that his piano skills are extremely high and the piano music he plays is superb, and some even praise him as the number one pianist in Japan.

The opposition, that is, people who learn piano, pianists, and musicians, believe that Ling Shi's piano level is just so-so, and that the "Croatian Rhapsody" he composed is too simple. The difficulty of playing it is at most the eighth level of piano, which can be played by elementary school students.

The conflict between these two factions began after the video went viral.

And just the day before yesterday, which was Saturday afternoon, at midnight, he suddenly announced on his Twitter and YouTube accounts that he would be the special guest closing performance at the performance stage of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, which is the final of the Kawai Piano Music Competition, Neon Division Youth Group.

As soon as this incident happened, the internet went into an uproar.

Supporters, including fans, youtubers, and internet celebrities, all forwarded the message to show their support after seeing it, and expressed their desire to go to the scene. They were very enthusiastic.

After all, their favorite YouTubers and idols will be making their debut so soon, and on such a big stage, so they are all very happy.

However, those on the opposition side were so furious about this incident that they started cursing and criticizing.

Because the Asian Piano Competition is of high quality, it always adheres to standardization, high-endness and professionalism, focuses on creating an international and diversified world event, and is committed to creating a model for Asian piano competitions.

Although it is not the Asian finals, but only the youth group finals of the Neon Division, the organizers have invited well-known pianists from all over the world to serve as judges, making it a very professional stage.

Moreover, this competition has always used various professional classic pieces to determine the rankings.
