From early in the morning, the sky had been overcast, as if it was going to snow. In the afternoon, snow particles really started to fall.
Such weather seemed to make business deserted. The clerks in the record store stayed at the cashier a little bored, passing the time in a daze.
At this moment, the door of the record store was pushed open.
The person who walked in was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. He was of medium height, with round glasses and a short haircut. He looked like he had grown up to be a middle school student. Nobita Nobita might also be good at tipping and shooting.
The bored clerk looked at the young man quietly, thinking a lot in his mind.
A child like this, who looks weak, might pick up a rock singer's record. Children of this age, the more honest they look, may like drier things in their hearts.
Since the business was deserted and idle, the clerk observed this young customer based on his usual impression of the customers who came to the store.
…
If the young man knew what the clerk was thinking, he would definitely show an incredulous expression: He guessed it right!
He came to the store today to buy a single from a heavy metal band called Human Chair.
The boy's name is Zhengxiong. There must be thirty thousand if not fifty thousand boys with the same name in the country.
He has an ordinary name and an ordinary person. He is the only son of a working-class family. He has average grades. His life is as boring as a piece of white cloth that has been washed over and over again. At the age of fifteen, he has already thought of using the word "life". He is probably in his second year of middle school.
The characteristics of a young man.
There are probably not three million such ordinary young men in the country, but there are probably 1.5 million.
However, ordinary teenagers also have a rebellious age. Although they don’t look very impressive from anywhere, they also yearn for something different. If you want to attract attention and find a place that makes you different from others, even if you look for it,
Finding nothing, I had to bow my head in front of the ordinary reality.
On weekends, Zhengxiong likes to go to Walkers Paradise to watch performances by amateur bands. They set up stalls carrying exaggerated effectors and wear leather jackets to play guitar and sing.
He envied such people and wanted to pick up a musical instrument like them, form a band with like-minded friends, and perform together.
However, despite having such expectations in my heart, in reality, he is a shy boy who is embarrassed to even talk to others. He has no like-minded friends and cannot play the guitar well.
I often go to Walkers Paradise, so naturally I got to know the show Band Paradise.
Zhengxiong watched the first episode of the program out of his love for the band. He thought it was just an ordinary program, nothing unusual. When the Da Kasao band was playing tricks on the stage, the fifteen-year-old boy who was in the rebellious stage was
I scoffed in my heart, I really look like a clown!... Is this a show like this?
When he wanted to change the channel with suspicion, the band Human Chairs came on the stage.
This name is really exciting! This was Masao’s first impression.
And when the song "Yin Beast" was sung, the world view in the lyrics and the selfless performance of the human chair directly touched the young Masao's heart.
In addition, the two people who have been good friends since they were students formed a band together because of their common hobbies. The experiences of the members are exactly the life that Masao longs for.
Then, these two students came to Tokyo from their hometowns, found a third teammate, and came to participate in this show together. They defeated other bands and won the first round.
Masao cheered for the victory of the human chair and prayed that they could win the final victory. At the same time, he couldn't help but think, if only I could meet such a friend...
A program that can put a human chair on stage and win the prize, Masao believes it must be a good program.
However, in the third week, Human Chair was defeated by the new band Begin.
Masao feels sorry for being a human chair, but fortunately there is still a chance... Miyake Yuji-san said that as long as the single can sell 10,000 copies, he will have another chance to debut.
Since then, Zhengxiong has kept this incident in mind.
After the New Year, on Saturday, TV Asahi aired the New Year's special program of Band Heaven. The bands that had won the top three in each previous program gathered together again and gave a hearty performance in the style of a New Year's party.
.The big cassock band who made a fool of themselves in the first episode of the program was also invited. They seemed to have developed a completely new type of style, and began to aim at being funny, and this time they also made a fool of themselves on the stage.
However, among so many bands, Zhengxiong still pays attention to the Human Chair Band, which he has not seen for a long time, and is addicted to their performances.
When he heard Miyake Yuji-san promoting their single, Masao made up his mind.
I’m here to support them too! If they can debut, I will be the one to push them forward on this path.
My power is insignificant, but it can change someone's life.
During this incident, Zhengxiong felt a kind of confidence that he had never experienced before.
With his support for Human Chair, he walked into the record store where this single was sold. The store had set up a Band Heaven section in a fairly eye-catching place. But now, when the show just started, there was only Human Chair in the store.
The band's singles are displayed on the shelves in this section.
If you can sell 10,000 copies, you can make your debut, right?
It would be great if I could help them debut.
Masao stretched out his hand and picked up a single.
As a fifteen-year-old boy, his determination seemed rash and cheap, but there was no doubt that it was also pure and precious.
…
While the bored clerk was waiting for the young man to come over to pay, a gust of cold wind blew into the store and the door was pushed open.
This time, a young man of college age who walked in was as thin as a bamboo pole.
Not counting the fashionable clothes, hairstyle, and reserved expression, this kind of person probably comes here to buy idol songs... It’s this kind of person who likes to chase idols everywhere! The clerk thought silently.
But on the other hand, only idols who can attract fans of this age can truly become popular.
In other words, around the age of 20, this is the age when you can already spend money on the things you like. If an idol is only popular among children, middle school and high school students, it will neither have high sales nor good ratings.
And it’s easy to get angry.
I just don’t know whose fan he is?
Akina-san? Akina-san has recently won three consecutive championships. Many people have come into the store to sell her records, and the boss has also purchased additional goods... Or is it kyonkyon? Then who doesn't like quirky girls?
?
Or is it the recently popular Minamino Yoko-chan? Yoko-chan is also an idol with a unique style.
However, such an honest and gentle person must not be a fan of Shizuka-chan, right?
The store clerk has a little prejudice against Kudo Shizuka.
