Chapter 67 A great success

 In the future, will Narita Masaru appear on stage to sing in Dajun’s limited performances?

No matter what the future holds, the performance on Children's Day is undoubtedly successful, value-for-money, and difficult to surpass in a short time.

The finale is the hit single "Roppongi Hearts" due to Narita Masaru and Ann Lewis.

This song is quite consistent with the trend when the bubble is about to blow, and the lyrics also directly echo the current booming feminism. Just this May, the "Equal Employment Opportunities Act for Men and Women" was officially promulgated, prohibiting recruitment

and gender discrimination in the hiring process.

There is no doubt that this bill is bound to cause huge repercussions among cultural people who are passionate about women's liberation and progressive movements.

Narita Masaru and Ann Lewis on the stage, as well as the audience in the audience, all sang together, as if they wanted to use this song to break the old and rotten social order.

When I came here, I was chatting and laughing with my colleagues, but now that the performance is coming to an end, Suzuki gradually forgets about herself.

She was thinking that, generally speaking, timid people would never have the courage to take action without closing their eyes. So in the eyes of onlookers, it was this song "Roppongi Hearts" that promoted women that made timid people determined and courageous.

Be impulsive, take action, and openly pursue your desires that you never dared to dream of before.

In just a few hours, it was music that allowed the audience to have wild delusions. In a world of delusion, everyone is a free and unrestrained hero. If there is irresistible passion in the world, and only rely on fantasy

A place that can be self-sufficient must be the king of Roppongi.

Just from the audience's reaction, we can conclude that the limited performance on Children's Day was a great success. The hopes and ambitions that Narita Masaru and Roppongi placed on the performance also spread throughout the industry with the perfect conclusion of the performance.

At the same time, Shinjuku suffered a severe blow in history, and their leading position in the industry was shaken like never before.

During the interval when the audience was leaving, Narita Masaru stood in a corner of the second floor, shrouded in darkness. He had not yet recovered from the nervousness and excitement of being on stage, his heartbeat was strong and powerful, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

"We succeeded." He said silently, but in the noisy environment, no one heard and no one shared it.

Early the next morning, major newspapers reported on Roppongi Daikun's limited performance one after another. Compared with the past, the space occupied this time was greatly increased, and they were accompanied by several on-site photos authorized by Daijun.

The entire disco world focused on the showdown between Shinjuku and Roppongi on Children's Day. Some newspapers controlled by the Judgment Club trumpeted the East Asia Club's "great success", and the Matsuba Club on the other side did not spare any room to post it.

The word "unparalleled" was added. Idols who like to dance and disco also talked about it when recording the show, especially Toshihiko Tahara, who wanted to personally restore every song on the scene.

However, people with eccentric ideas are everywhere, and some people severely criticized this performance. For example, "The first band that appeared was not Japanese in any way. It didn't look like local singers at all. The traces of imitation were too heavy."

, are too fond of Western music", "Although the singer hired by the Maharaja is somewhat talented, the performance was mixed with impurities and seemed frivolous" and so on.

However, the criticism of the former should be directed at the entire underground music industry, because it is a basic common problem of new bands. Therefore, it is a bit excessive to just criticize the royal band. The latter can be said to be the newspaper commentator's own judgment.

This is a deliberately negative comment based on unfaithful speculation about Narita Masaru's rampage in Roppongi.

Regardless of some of the criticism, the performance was generally well received. The controversial royal band became popular at underground music festivals, and the remuneration for the performance was close to the ceiling of the industry.

This limited-edition performance was undoubtedly an eye-popping leap, but it was this leap that directly caused the subsequent intensification of conflicts between Shinjuku and Roppongi. Although the East Asia Kaikan admitted its failure, it transferred the video store in the Kabukicho area to the big one.

Jun, but they did not completely admit defeat. It can be said that it was the loser's unsteady and difficult-to-grasp characteristics that incited the struggle between the two factions.

At this point, the decline of Shinjuku-style discotheques was already a certainty. Therefore, East Asia Club began to invoke record companies to help out, hoping to maintain its final glory through external forces.

In this case, East Asia Club's first attack seemed to be successful, but in fact they thought they had a chance to win. Based on past experience in the industry, most people believe that Hi-NRG (high-energy dance music) is in the ascendant.

If we work harder, we can continue to block the rise of Roppongi.

However, the situation this time was completely different. The Maharaja did not feel any strange about Shinjuku's various big actions, and he also invited Kubo and other senior officials to drink and have fun. Compared with the past, he did not seem close or distant. On the contrary, Shinjuku and the others were showing off.

Bewildered, like a frightened bird.

Even so, Shinjuku thought it was just Roppongi trying to show off and save face. Therefore, as long as the album "That's Hi-NRG" is released smoothly, it can build momentum for itself, and the situation will definitely change by then.

Just as Narita Masaru guessed, East Asia Kaikan is a defender of old-school rules and has an incomparable sense of superiority in their hearts. This is often the point where they defeat themselves.

Of course, in addition to the industry, as for ordinary people, young employees like Suzuki Yoshitomo will naturally mention the Roppongi music carnival on Children's Day. Those who lined up to call to buy tickets or paid high prices

People who bought scalper tickets all felt that the trip was worthwhile.

This is already the case for office white-collar workers, and it is even more so for those delinquent teenagers who listen to the noise. These children gather in dirty alleys, family restaurants where people come and go, and fast food restaurants with free refills, chattering and talking.

With the performance on Children's Day, the name of Roppongi Maharaja immediately spread among young people.

The high school student who was unable to listen to the leaked sound because of his part-time job was envious. With a little jealousy, he kept asking his friends about their experiences of listening to the leaked sound with red eyes. Unexpectedly, Narita Katsuya, who was forced to open a business, also got everyone's attention.

Many people have gradually learned that this tall and upright young man is not only the Maharaja’s manager, but also a fashionable young man who can speak well and sing well.

However, many of the songs in the performance have not yet been released on records and tapes, so these songs can only be passed on by word of mouth. This creates a more direct sense of intimacy and resonance, and captures the bohemian hearts of delinquents.

.

While entertainment news about Maharaja is bombarding young people during this period, Akina Nakamori is preparing to record a program in the lounge.

"Mingcai sauce!"

Koizumi Kyoko's energetic voice interrupted Nakamori Akina's intermittent nap. She looked up and saw that Kyoko had already changed into her first set of performance costumes, and her thick dark circles were covered up by her superb makeup skills.

"What good thing happened to Kyoko-chan?" Facing Kyoko, Akina Nakamori showed the look of an old mother.

Manager Nayukibo stood aside and watched the interaction between Akina Nakamori and Kyoko Koizumi, feeling that the friendship between girls was amazing. The two were obviously about the same age, but when Akina looked at Kyoko, she felt like a mature big sister.

Her demeanor. Today she is like a younger sister who is loved and trusted by her older sister.

"I took a break from the busy schedule during Golden Week and had a lot of fun!"

"Really? I haven't gone anywhere. I want to hear what Kyoko-chan has been playing?" Nakamori Akina's smile grew brighter, and the nervousness that had grown before going on stage was somewhat weakened.

Kyoko Koizumi gestured exaggeratedly, as if announcing something great, no less happy than Seiko Matsuda when she announced her marriage last month, "On Children's Day, I went to see Maharaja's limited performance!"

"What?" Akina Nakamori was stunned subconsciously. She suddenly thought that Kyoko didn't seem to know that she and Narita Masaru had some friendship.

However, she was not willing to tell Kyoko herself, and wanted to protect this secret, just like the secret that was tacitly hidden between the two of them that night when they first met Narita Katsu. She twisted...tightened...until her mind gradually collapsed.

, falling lightly.

The relationship between her and Narita Masaru, it is better to say that there is no relationship at all, it is all connected by the indistinct gossamer.

"I have also seen reports of limited performances."

"Really? Don't you think it's interesting! I was really high at the scene that day, and Junjun was too, completely out of shape. What's even more surprising is," Kyoko's voice gradually increased, "the last encore part

, Narita-san also sang on stage, although it was forced."

At this point, she stuck out her tongue.
