Just went around like this for a week or two.

"Hitano San's "Lemon" and "Empty" have finally released a single CD! Let's buy it after singing a song later?"

"Hey...? But the single CD is very expensive. I remember that it costs 1,600 yen per picture. After buying it, the pocket money you spend outside in the next two or three days will probably be reduced."

The low-pitched discussion reached Hino and Zhi's ears, causing a disdainful smile to appear on her face again.

Alas, that's why I'm talking about these laymen who are not enthusiastic about music...

An old fan like her has long found the existence of Higashino Studio through the Internet, and has long learned about the release today in Higashino Studio's announcement.

For this reason, she saved a lot of money and decided to buy three or four support items depending on the situation.

This is what people like her who like music should do.

As for the "Unnatural Death" that my classmates often mentioned... she also read it.

But to be honest... it's just that. She just bought some specials, two or three special editions, and some keychains for characters from "Unnatural Death"... Apart from that, there's nothing else, and it's only cost more than 10,000 yen in total, not too much.

After all, Hino Kazumaki thinks that he is a more rational fan, he also looks at things in a comprehensive way and does not act impulsively. It is different from fanatical fans.

She glanced at her watch, muttered, "It's time to go", and took the tram with her shoulder bag in her hand and headed to a shopping mall that had just opened in Meguro District.

In 2004, Japan already had the concept of a shopping mall, and it was similar to its previous life, mainly focusing on popular physical industries such as food, bookstores, music, and clothing.

She got out of the car, arrived at the mall, and walked straight to the fourth floor - Japanese audio-visual and digital physical stores are basically on relatively high floors.

This is considered a favorite audio and video store for Hino Kazuhi. It not only has a wide variety, but also has easy to identify the guide cards. You can see where the popular songs are now at a glance.

She followed the direction of the sign, took two steps at a time, and soon arrived alone to the place where Higashinoji single CDs were sold.

Kazuna Hino did not intend to listen. After all, the audition line in front of him was lined up in a long queue, and I don’t know if it was the reason for Higashinoji’s "There is nothing". In addition to some high school girls and young women, there were also some housewives.

When they all finished listening to each other, they probably would have to queue until evening.

She didn't have that time, so she quickly picked up four single CDs and took a look at the name of the person on the cover.

Higashinoji.

OK, yes, it's you.

Just buy it right.

Hino Kazuna nodded contentedly, habitually confirming the song list.

The names of "Lemon" and "Empty" are hung in the first and second lines.

but...

"Don't admit defeat"? What is this?" Hino Kazuge was a little puzzled, but before she could think about it, someone greeted her and gently signaled: "Sorry, can you please get a little faster?"

"It's rude." Hino Kazua hurriedly lowered his head and apologized, knowing that he had interfered with someone else.

But the song "Don't Give Up" really made Hino Kazuna a little strange. She claimed to be an expert? But she had never heard Higashinoji sing this song.

Could it be that someone else sang this song with Higashinoji? So he put it in as he was just a scattered person?

Hino Kazuna shook his head and hurriedly put away the CD? He also scanned the situation of other singers around him.

Didn't find any new songs or hot songs? She had to shake her head and walk to the cashier.

But before she could get close to the cashier? She heard a burst of excitement and excitement coming from the front.

It was a middle-aged man with red eyes? He said to the young man beside him with excitement: "We must take that project! Why did we give it to that guy Murakami like this! Come on! Come on! Come on! By the way."

He looked very excited? He seemed to be greatly inspired somewhere.

The young man next to him also had a flash of light in his eyes, nodded vigorously, and handed the single CD in his hand to the clerk and asked to pay the bill.

This made Hino and Zhi, who were standing behind them, stunned.

Does she have an impression of this person? He was the first one in Higashinoji listening area just now.

What's going on?

Even if you listen to "Lemon" and "Empty" you don't have to be so excited.

The previous song touches the softness of people? The latter song is a metaphor for life... The atmosphere of the two songs is not too quiet, but it does not become like this.

Fortunately, Hino and Zhi didn't continue to care about these people. They just paid the money and left with a small paper bag containing the CD.

I have to say that Japanese physical music discs are indeed not cheap, just these small ones? Small discs with a few songs can be priced directly at one or two thousand yen.

Hino Kazua quickly returned to his home, reached out and simply selected one of the CDs and removed the plastic seal outside? It started to sound.

Unlike the network data version, the biggest advantage of CD CDs is that their sound quality is good? They can truly record the details of a singer's voice.

"Lemon" and "Although There's nothing in our hands" were quickly passed.

This made Hino Kazuna very satisfied? Lying on the bed and listening, he closed his eyes? I felt like I was soaked in water, it was clear and cool, and my heart was even more comfortable... Higashinoji's clear voice is indeed a major feature...

"Listen again." Hino and Zhi were lying on the bed waiting for the CD to replay, but after waiting for a while, the strange tune suddenly sounded-

Not "Lemon" or "Although there is nothing in our hands"?

Hino and Zhi couldn't help but open their eyes, and then they thought of the "Don't Give Up" written on the record.

Is this the song?

She was surprised and puzzled. The passionate tune was not very similar to Higashinoji's style, although it was indeed very rhythmic...

Hino Kazuna is still thinking

The brief prelude ended quickly, and at the same time, the singing quickly hit her like a fast straight ball and hit her heart, making Hino and Zhi who were still surprised just now unable to speak for a moment.

This song...

It sounds pretty good?

She lay down again, intending to immerse herself in the world of music.

Only at this time can she formally let go of the heavy academic and interpersonal pressure in her life and enjoy this moment of tranquility.

Then...

‘Don’t give in, look, wherever you are, the goal is ahead, no matter how far away my heart will be with you.’

Um...

‘Don’t admit defeat, it’s only a little bit. Please keep running to the end. No matter how far away, my heart will be with you and chasing the distant dream.’

Well...

‘When chasing the distant dream, no matter what happens, I look indifferent. I joke that there will always be a way. Let’s dance with me tonight. Please don’t forget that I like you now too.’

"I..." Hino and Zhi turned over and got up with surprise, and the quiet sleepiness that had just passed away completely.

When she listened to this song, her mind was full of ‘Don’t give up’, ‘Come on! Come on!’, ‘Don’t be degenerate!’.

Not to mention a moment of tranquility.

“Have I done my homework?”

“Have you done housework?”

"Don't the room still need to be cleaned?"

“Is it still time to sleep now?”

“Shouldn’t it be a little urgency?”

"Why should I be so self-deprecating?"

No! Absolutely not!

Several questions from the soul made Hino and Zhi confused. She listened to the incomprehensible words, "Don't admit defeat, it's only a little bit." She took out her homework book from her shoulder bag.

I'm in a pretty good mood...

But...why do I listen to this song and feel like I'm driving a tank when I walk? This is not right.

Then follow the impulse in your heart and do your homework for a while?

This scene is also repeated in Takahashi Yumi's family.

Originally, Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi didn't understand what the song "Don't Give Up" was, but after listening to it, I couldn't stop.

Fujiwara Aoi sighed after hearing this song, and felt that this song really had a kind of inspiring power.

After listening to this song, Yumi Takahashi tied a five-kilogram sandbag and said she wanted to go outside for a while before coming back.

"Teacher Higashino secretly wrote a song on his back." Yumi Takahashi's face remained unchanged, but she was a little breathless and complained: "I should listen to this kind of song first... No, I have to call and criticize him later."

After hearing this, Fujiwara Aoi next to her had nothing to say.

She glanced at Takahashi Yumi, and felt that this guy was really getting less and less.

Why did Higashinoji listen to you first?

"After that's it, this song is really nice... The lyrics are simple and straightforward." Fujiwara Aoi glanced at the CD cover.

The cover is hand-painted by Higashinoji. It is covered with lemons entering the water. The waves entering the water turn white, and the white forms clouds. Going down is the cover of the lamb with his head half-lifted in "Although there is nothing in our hands".

This is almost seamless, and Higashinoji's creativity is still as good as ever.

There is no disclosure about this song "Don't Give Up"... Higashinoji suddenly gave them and other Japanese listeners a surprise.

However, there are some bad things about this song. She wanted to take the initiative to do her homework or find a boy to confess her love.

It really has a kind of 'toxicity'.

This made her touch her chin, and she did not forget to ask Takahashi Yumi who was beside her to turn on the computer next to her. They wanted to see the latest reviews about music.

Just as Yumi Takahashi opened the page, she found that the above was already flooded with comments about "Don't Give Up".

It's really flooding the screen.

Many people bought CDs. Originally, everyone went for "Lemon" and "Empty", but unexpectedly they found unexpected treasures.

‘I don’t know why, listening to the song Higashinosan, I feel like I’m walking in a tank.’

‘The song Higashinosan is the same as “Although there is nothing in our hands”. It is also a song that inspires others, but it also has the atmosphere of love songs… No matter which one is, it makes me energetic. I decided to confess my love to him tomorrow, thank you Higashinosan.’

‘Teacher Higashino gave me a huge surprise again.’

‘The lyrics are very straightforward, but they are also heartbreaking. I am in my thirties this year. After the Japanese economy has been broken, I have been finding a satisfactory job. I originally bought CDs for my children as birthday gifts, but I didn’t expect that as I listened, I cried... I can no longer fall into depravity.’

These comments are mixed, most of them are commenting on this new song that Higashinoji suddenly released.

But Yumi Takahashi couldn't understand it. As she looked at it, she asked Fujiwara Aoi: "Akui, how do you think of this song?"

"Ah? Me?" Fujiwara Aoi was still focusing on the comments, but she couldn't help but start thinking after being told by Yumi Takahashi.

She is not as simple as Takahashi Yumi, and she thinks that the song Higashinoji must have a deep meaning.

After all, both Lemon and Empty have a background... So what does Higashino want to express this time?

She thought for a long time and thought that Higashinoji wanted to encourage the young Japanese people to strive for progress, right?

This is very likely!

I have to say that Fujiwara Aoi has a lot of imagination.

If Higashinoji heard this, he would probably laugh and then sigh.

After all, in a sense, Fujiwara Aoi really hit it a lot.

This song really encouraged many Japanese young people who were confused, powerless, helpless, could not find a job, and had only jumped off a building and committed suicide.

It is the true divine comedy.

However, due to temporary additions and production costs increased, the final CD single disc was priced at 1,800 yen, which is generally higher than the market price.

But now it seems that the price is a little higher, but it has not affected the enthusiasm of fans. The daily sales volume reaches 15,000 pieces.

Some people may be disdainful of this sales volume, but in Higashinoji's opinion, it is already very impressive.

After all, he is a pure layman in music. Even though "Lemon" and "Although There's nothing in our hands" were popular a while ago, it was just popular on the digital list, which does not mean that he can win the physical market.

In addition, this is just the first day of sales, and the data has not yet settled, and it is estimated that it will rise a lot later.

So this result has indeed satisfied Higashinoji.

Moreover, "Lemon", "Empty" and "Don't Give Up" are all the kind of singers' inspiration. Perhaps the songs written by many hard work have been tested by the market and the public's reputation, and it is impossible to stop there.

Higashinoji temporarily put down the matter here, and at the same time turned his attention to his own home.

It seems that considering that Higashinoji stays up late at night, Konomi Lianghua has been secretly helping to make midnight snacks these days.

Just like today, it was when Higashinoji was rushing to write "Unnatural Death", Konoe Lianghua put on the table with a midnight snack.

It's time to thank you tomorrow.

Higashinoji smiled and shook his head while eating the things made by Konomiya.
Chapter completed!
