Tokyo's most affectionate

Adapting music for other instruments into piano works. In fact, Liszt's "The Bells" was adapted from a violin concerto.

This is a re-interpretation and a subversive adaptation.

Because of the different instruments, the playing techniques are completely different, and even the melody and beat are different.

Unlike "The Bells", which requires the climax of the three-part form to feel its magical charm... This piece, "Flight of the Bumblebee", will pull you into the ocean of music and immerse you in it when Zero's hands strike the first key.

The extreme melody and hand speed make people feel like they can't breathe.

"It's so cool."

The film was full of aftertaste. Shizuka Kitajima was so excited when she thought about this short but exhilarating audio-visual feast that she decided to watch it again.

……

"First!"

"Finally you are here!"

"Good good!"

“The cover has changed.”

In the comment section of the video "Flight of the Bumblebee", after the video came out, some fans did not go to watch the video, but instead rushed to the comment section as soon as possible.

It was not until a few minutes later that comments similar to reflections began to appear in the comment section.

“When Master Zero Time plays, he has an almost casual calmness, so cool!”

"The cold and crazy Master of Zero Time, I love it!"

"After watching this video, I feel like I am a handicapped person."

"How on earth did Master Zero Time train his fingers to not have any unnecessary movements? Incredible."

"God of the piano!"

“It was like a magic show, it was amazing!”

"How fast is this hand speed? It's crazy!"

The response in the comment section was very enthusiastic, and almost every audience member was amazed by this audio-visual feast.

"5 views in 7 minutes... There are so many fans watching it, and they all give it positive reviews. Kurosawa, check it out."

At Zero Hour Agency, Igarashi Runa saw the response in the comment section and the data, and excitedly opened her arms to hug Kurosawa Hikaru beside her, shaking his body and asking him to look quickly.

"I'm watching."

Kurosawa Hikaru didn't dare to use any strength as his body was shaken by her.

In fact, he wasn't really surprised by the feelings he had after listening to Flight of the Bumblebee.

You know, this piano piece was a popular piano piece famous all over the world in the previous life on Earth.

Compared to this, what surprised him more was that in just a few minutes, the number of views reached 0, which meant that at o'clock, so many fans were waiting for his new work.

"Sorry, I was so excited."

After being extremely excited, Igarashi Runa came to her senses and found herself hugging Kurosawa Hikaru. She withdrew the hug and apologized embarrassedly.

This was not the first time, but she really couldn't control herself because Kurosawa surprised her so much.

"It's ok."

Kurosawa Hikaru had complicated feelings about her hugging him this time, but he still shook his head.

Physically speaking, being hugged by a beautiful lady like Miss Runa is so wonderful.

Spiritually speaking, he felt a little guilty about how secretly happy he was, because she was Miss Ninomiya's best friend, his girlfriend's best friend.

"Wow……"

After a while, Igarashi Runa refreshed the page again. When she saw the data on the number of views, she couldn't control her emotions anymore after finally calming down.

10 minutes, 15 views, how many people are watching online?

Although she doesn't know how many fans are waiting to see it, one thing is certain: the data is explosive.

At this moment, she felt very clearly that Lingshi was really popular and had accumulated a group of loyal and enthusiastic fans.

"Ring ring ring!"

At this moment, Igarashi Runa's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello."

She picked up the phone, took a look at it, and then her excited expression disappeared and she answered the call.

"Sorry, I got it, I'll send it right away."

After responding, she hung up the phone and then picked up the phone to operate it.

"What are you going to send?" Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little curious.

"I'll post it on Twitter. After discussing it with the PR team, we decided to guide the topic this time by asking everyone what they think of the new song. It would be best to cultivate the habit of fans commenting on the work, so that the topic won't go off track so easily."

Igarashi Runa, who was busy with the operation, explained after hearing this.

Chapter 328 Breaking the Record

The emergence of new works is already eye-catching, and with the addition of new masks, the discussion is extremely heated.

Data is not limited to the number of views of new works, but also includes many other aspects.

For example, the speed of rise, attention, discussion, and enthusiasm of fans are all factors that reflect the fame of an artist.

With the data of the new work, Igarashi Runa was ecstatic. Although people in the industry went back to their own homes, most of them were paying attention to this moment.

"This is too exaggerated."

“Are masked artists so popular?”

Seeing the crazy growth in the number of video views, comments, and fans, major firms in the industry were deeply shocked and even envious.

Judging from the effect of this video alone, the rise of Zero Hour is a foregone conclusion.

Most of the firms were shocked and envious, but the reaction of Phantom Star was different.

Like other agencies, at 0: in the morning, most of the company's employees and senior executives have gone back to their homes. Only a few artists who have announcements and related teams are still working overtime.

After returning home, Mia Hamada, who had already taken a shower and lay down on the bed, immediately watched the video on her mobile phone.

As a singer who debuted in the Showa period but has retired for many years, Miya Hamada has strong basic skills in music. She is not only good at singing, composing and writing lyrics, but also dabbles in various musical instruments.

Before she retired, she had many works that were popular all over the country and even famous overseas.

In the entertainment industry, if we only talk about singers, she is an absolute senior.

That's right, when she put on headphones, watched the video and listened to the performance, she was drawn into the world of piano sound.

"Flight of the Bumblebee..."

When Miya Hamada saw the image of a person sitting in front of the piano and playing with superb skills on her phone, her expression froze and she felt very complicated.

Even though she would never admit it, and even if she didn't show up for a day, she would insist that it couldn't be Kurosawa Hikaru.

But in fact, she knew that there was at least a 70% chance that it was Kurosawa Hikaru.

Especially with this adapted piano piece, Flight of the Bumblebee, the possibilities are raised to another level.

"Why did your piano skills improve so quickly?"

Thinking of this possibility, when Mia Hamada saw the unparalleled piano skills, she felt more incredible than regretful.

During the review that day, Kurosawa Hikaru's piano skills in playing "Flight of the Bumblebee", although he was gifted and promising at a young age, were still a bit immature, giving her the feeling that he was just reading from a script.

In comparison, Lingshi's attainments and level in piano are so great that even when he plays a piano piece like "Croatian Rhapsody" which is not difficult, people who really know the subject can feel his superb piano skills.

Lingshi is worthy of the title of master, but the reputation of the God of Piano is too loud and his achievements are too few, so he has attracted public ridicule.

However, her performance at the Kawai Piano Competition at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan at midnight, with Liszt's "The Bells", completely solidified this title.

In fact, there are many people in this world who can play Liszt's "The Bells". Although it is a recognized difficult piano piece, many well-known pianists can play it after a long period of practice.

However, being able to play a piece of music does not mean that one has mastered it.

The so-called mastery means that for the same piano piece, the effects of performance by pianists of different levels will be very different.

Looking around the world, she couldn't even think of anyone else who could control "The Clock" as completely as Zero Hour, with its impeccable integrity, smooth flow, magnificent artistry, and unparalleled emotion.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ling Shi's level, in her opinion, is that of a well-deserved piano master, a level that makes her unable to match and amazed by it.

Just like now, this song Flight of the Bumblebee makes her feel that even if the music score is given to her, the effect of her performance will definitely pale in comparison.

Just when she was distracted, her cell phone suddenly vibrated a few times and a message popped up.

That was the company's board of directors questioning people by name.

"Hamada Miya, do you have anything to say?"

If we say that the collaboration between Zero Hour and Runa Igarashi is a new song that has never been heard before, it can be said to be someone else.

But the appearance of "Flight of the Bumblebee" indicates a lot of things.

Regardless of whether Zero Hour is Kurosawa Hikaru or not, it is an indisputable fact that he has a strong relationship and connection with Kurosawa Hikaru.

Even if he is not Kurosawa Hikaru, he is very likely Kurosawa Hikaru's piano teacher.

With such a teacher, if Phantom Star Agency had signed Kurosawa Hikaru, his future would definitely be promising.

If this Zero Hour is really Kurosawa Hikaru, then Phantom Star Agency has missed an opportunity to take off and become the leader in the industry.

Mia Hamada knew the truth very well. Faced with this question, she already felt regretful, so she clicked into the group and typed a message.

"I will resign."

After taking a deep breath, Mia Hamada sent the message.

After sending this message, her arms suddenly went limp on the bed, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away.

She was well aware of the huge losses her arrogance and pride had brought to the company.

In fact, she already felt regret when Igarashi Runa chose to resign.

But what’s the use of regret? There is no medicine for regret in this world.

Even if she wanted to apologize and took action, Igarashi Runa would not accept her apology at all and had no intention of forgiving her.

"It would have been nice if I had listened to him play one more song. Why did I have to give him a warning?"

Thinking of what happened back then, Mia Hamada couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, she was very optimistic about Kurosawa Hikaru. After seeing him play "Flight of the Bumblebee", she was sure that he would become famous. She attached absolute importance to him and had high hopes for him. She even had the idea of ​​cherishing his talent and planned to train him personally.

But the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. As a newcomer who has not yet debuted, Kurosawa Hikaru dared to put forward conditions to the company, even wasting his talents by becoming a masked artist to hide his handsome and good-looking appearance.

"He's not even famous yet. He doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is without any fame. If he becomes famous, won't he even ignore the company?"

With this idea in mind, she made a misjudgment and gave Kurosawa Mitsuru a warning by not signing him.

From a result-oriented perspective, the reason why Kurosawa Mitsuru dared to put forward such conditions was because he had absolute confidence in his own abilities.

"Ugh."

Thinking of her original wrong judgment, Hamada Mia felt upset and had a feeling of depression in her chest.

……

At 1 a.m., a car drove out of the Lingshi Office and started its journey home.

"183 million views in one hour. It's incredible that a video released in the early morning can have such a response. If you continue on this upward trend, I feel that if you continue to develop for another year and premiere, it may even break the premiere record."

Igarashi Runa was driving, still very excited.

Perhaps this is not the most exaggerated data in the history of YouTube, but it is already very impressive that they have achieved such outstanding results just after their debut.

"Premiere record?"

When Kurosawa Mitsuru heard about this function, he became curious.

"Premiere is a function similar to live broadcast, which allows fans to join the channel half an hour in advance to watch the new video in a live broadcast. In the history of YouTube, the most exaggerated single premiere record is 154 million real-time viewers."

Igarashi Runa nodded slightly and explained while driving seriously.
