Chapter 152 The budding band(1/2)

Ye Xiao didn't expect that the genius screenwriter teacher Kankuro Miyafuji was once a rock and roll youth!

It just so happens that "Star You" is about to start filming thanks to him. Although the kindness will always be remembered in my heart, I still want to treat him to a meal, right?

So Ye Xiao put the guitar aside and called the teacher on his cell phone.

"You're such a busy person, why do you have time to call me on my cell phone?"

"Busy is really a bit busy."

"Then I'll hang up."

"No, teacher, no matter how busy you are, you can't stop the loyal heart of the students from greeting the teacher. Let's invite the teacher to dinner at noon. What would the teacher want to eat? Is sushi okay?"

"Don't make it so complicated, just barbecue. Let's have some wine, master and apprentice."

"Then I'll book a restaurant first."

Ye Xiao called the charcoal barbecue restaurant where he and his sister often went, booked a table, and then drove to his teacher's house.

"Ye Xiao, you came just in time. She still doesn't believe me when I say you invited me to dinner? Really!"

Miyafuji Kankuro looked at his wife with a look of injustice.

"How do I know if you don't explain clearly?" Mrs. Gongfu smiled sheepishly at Ye Xiao, and then said angrily, "Ye Xiao, you are young and have a bright future. I must never imitate you in the future.

This teacher got married and stayed up all night, staying out with the actress..."

"I told you that I was a friend. I drank some wine and rested at his house. I even called you to report it. Why don't you believe me?"

The honest face of Miyafuji Kankuro showed the bitterness of a strict wife.

This is really rare. According to Ye Xiao's observation, the male chauvinism of Japanese men is worse than that in China.

Influenced by Confucian culture, it is virtue for men to be superior to women and for women to be untalented. Confucianism's three cardinal principles and five constant principles, as well as Confucius' view that villains and women are difficult to raise also determine Confucian machismo and the supremacy of patriarchy.

Macho chauvinism in Japan and South Korea is more serious than in China, and it is also deeply influenced by Confucian culture. Everyone knows the reason: rare things are valuable.

So when will the AA system be implemented for dating between men and women, then we can truly talk about women’s rights, otherwise we will all be playing hooligans.

So where does feminism come from? It’s just egoism and market economy!

"Go, go, drink less." Mrs. Kudo waved helplessly and smiled apologetically at Ye Xiao.

Because he wanted to drink, he parked the car in a public parking lot and took a taxi to the store. While eating barbecue and drinking sake, Ye Xiao expressed his gratitude to the teacher at the beginning, and then the topic gradually led to the band.

This piece.

"I heard that the teacher had a band before?"

"Well, I'm a guitarist. I also write songs occasionally. What's the matter?"

"I'm preparing to form a rock band now, but I've just started learning guitar."

"Your courage is commendable, but I can't tell you still have some enthusiasm."

"Teacher, you should be very good at guitar, right?"

"It's just normal, just coping with the situation."

The more modest Gong Jiu became, the more Ye Xiao believed that his guitar skills must be good.

"Can you teach me how to play guitar?"

"No problem!"

Kankuro Uyomifuji is pretty free these days. He just writes the script for "Ama" every day and sends it directly to the crew after he writes it. He is an old screenwriter, unless the crew has trouble shooting due to problems with the script.

If there is a delay, then he will meet with the producer and director to discuss the plot and make changes.

"But do you have a place to rehearse?"

"No."

"If you want to form a band, the most important thing is to have a gathering place to practice together. This will not only increase the tacit understanding and affection between each other, but also allow you to experience the joy of the band growing and improving day by day. The feeling of teamwork is really

It’s a wonderful, wonderful time of youth!”

"What's the name of the teacher's band?"

"'Group Soul', you may not have heard of it."

Japan is the second largest record market in the world, and the pop music industry is extremely developed. There are so many rock bands, underground and underground, mainstream and non-mainstream, popular and independent. Even high school students and college students will form their own bands.

Have fun, because of the unique community culture!

"I certainly haven't heard of it."

"I am the guitarist of the group soul Riot!"

"Riot?" Ye Xiao couldn't hold back his laughter. He didn't expect that even a man with extremely high IQ and EQ like a genius screenwriter would once have such a passionate period. Sure enough, Japanese people are born with the influence of anime because they grew up.

He has the genes of being a middle schooler and a rebellious person!

"Group Soul's teammate Tomizawa Taku opened a music store in Shinjuku, selling musical instruments and offering music classes. He also collected some good-quality second-hand goods and sold them, including guitars, basses, drums, etc. The band needs them for live performances.

He has all the equipment there, and the important thing is, he also has a basement there, which is of decent size. I told him that I can rent it to you at a low price for a few hours a day for rehearsal!"

"Thank you so much, teacher, I'd like to toast you!"

...

After eating a barbecue for more than an hour, Ye Xiao and Gong Jiu took a taxi to the Dandelion Music Store in Shinjuku, where they met the owner Tomizawa Taku and another member of the group soul, Miyake Hiroshiro.

These two were once members of the group Soul. Tomizawa Taku is a guitarist, composer, and arranger. He is proficient in many instruments, not to mention the piano.

Miyake Hiroshiro is the drummer of the group soul.

When they heard that Ye Xiao was the former apprentice of the old Pao Gongjiu, the two uncles were very enthusiastic about him. They even told the clerk and took Ye Xiao to the basement in person.

It is said to be a basement, but it is actually no different from the ground. It has bright light, slightly old wooden floors, and no damp smell, but it is just a bit stuffy.

"The first floor sells musical instruments and the basement gives lessons. He and I take turns." Tomizawa Taku pointed to his partner Miyake Hiroshiro.

Miyake Hiroshiro wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a small suit like Mayday's drummer Guanyu. He is also polite and has a bit of a literary bourgeoisie. He has a boring personality and doesn't talk much.

Tomizawa Taku is full of passion and speaks in an ups and downs, giving people a warm and hearty feeling.

"I haven't played the piano for a long time, I feel a little nostalgic!" Gong Jiu picked up the guitar, gently brushed the strings, and tuned it at will.

"Gong Jiu, how about we give you a apprenticeship?" Tomizawa Taku said suddenly.

"Yeah, I haven't cooperated for a long time, and my hands are a little itchy!" Miyake Hiroshiro said and sat directly behind the drum set.

"But... there is no lead singer!" Gong Jiu smiled bitterly.

Guitarist Miyako and bassist Taku Tomizawa can both compose, Miyake Hiroshiro is the drummer and still needs a lead singer, and the lead singer of group soul is an actor. Unfortunately, as they get older, each has their own career and family.

, it is rare to perform in various bars like when I was young.

"Ye Xiao, you will be the lead singer, is that okay?"

"Me? I can't sing."

Ye Xiao tried singing in the bathroom at home, and after seeing her sister's reaction, she got sprayed. She no longer had any confidence in her voice.

"Try it!"

"All right."

He walked to the middle and adjusted the microphone on the stand to a suitable height, and breathed out. Everything about the speaker equipment was normal. This was much more difficult than singing in KTV, but it was also much more exciting!

"What can you sing?"

"Zhou Jie... Oops, I was almost exposed!"

"Don't admit defeat." Ye Xiao said the masterpiece of Sakai Izumi, the lead singer of the legendary Japanese rock band zard.

"Ye Xiao, you are quite nostalgic!" Gong Jiu said with a smile, "Then let's start, you sing slowly, don't worry, we will follow you!"

In an accidental moment, my eyes met with yours

I will always remember the heartbeat that makes people happy

I'm in love with this pastel season

It’s like falling in love with you who shined that day

Please keep running until the end

no matter how far away

My heart will also be with you

Chasing that distant dream

No matter what happens, he looks indifferent

Jokingly speaking, there is always a way

Come dance with me tonight

Please don’t forget that I also like you like that now

Don't give in, look, it's right there
To be continued...
