Since choosing the piano, Naoki Nagayama has found that his piano proficiency is constantly improving.
Within a few months, even those world-famous songs can be played properly after reading the music scores.
At first, I thought I had a golden finger!
But after getting to know those truly gifted piano masters,
Where does his ability come from?
So I didn’t force myself to work hard to become a piano master.
Now I play the piano just for leisure~
...
I practiced the etudes taught by Tokunaga Yukiko a few times, which eased my hand a little.
Then he started to let himself go~
Enjoying time alone.
...
early summer season,
The fragmented sunlight shining down from between the leaves casts a layer of black and white light and shadow on the living room.
The breeze blows, the gauze curtain flutters gently, and the light and shadow on the wall dance with it.
The whole room seemed to come alive.
Naoki Nagayama played the piano casually,
Let the keys follow the melody that occasionally emerges in your heart, scattering fragmentary tunes:
For a moment, the scene of the three brothers and sisters playing together on the beach came to mind when I was a child. For a while, I remembered the back view of studying hard in the study room before the college entrance examination.
One moment he was sweating on the court, and the next moment it turned into a failed confession behind the dormitory...
Two lives have made Naoki Nagayama's memories confusing and full of surprises.
Thinking of summer, the chirping of cicadas, swimming pools, fireworks, Kikujiro? Thinking of the shooting star in "Your Name" that will turn you into a rural high school girl...
Meteor? Meteor shower?
The sound of the piano on your fingertips began to become coherent and soothing.
Among the memories of youth, a youth idol drama is probably indispensable.
"I will accompany you to watch the meteor shower fall on this earth...let your tears fall on my shoulders..."
Nagayama Naoki hummed the song "Meteor Shower" along with his memory. The Taiwan version of "Meteor Garden" and the mainland version of "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", the memories of the two dramas became clearer and clearer.
The melody at the fingertips also comes from "Meteor Shower",
Then to "One Person's Romance",
Back to "Recollections"
...
It was not until the memories slowly ended that the emotional ups and downs caused slowly subsided.
Opening his eyes, Nagayama Naoki knew that he had experienced another "apocalypse".
Every apocalypse is a further fusion of past and present, until one day the two become indistinguishable from each other.
...
This time, Naoki Nagayama is left with the plots of 2 idol dramas and 3 Chinese songs.
After reacting, he immediately composed three songs while his memory was still fresh. Unexpectedly, when he wrote the lyrics, they were automatically converted into Japanese.
Looking at the lyrics and music in his hand, Nagayama Naoki was a little confused. The Japanese lyrics and the music seemed a little inconsistent. Do they have to re-write the lyrics?
But it seems like it was a remake of a Japanese drama?
Daoming Temple? Huaze Lei? The songs seem to be covers of Japanese songs too?
What should I do? I haven’t seen it, I have no memory at all...
When Nagayama Naoki was struggling with how to deal with this gift from the apocalypse,
The doorbell suddenly rang outside the door!
...
Anyone who has watched horror movies knows that the doorbell that suddenly rings is either Piao or the killer.
Especially since he had just experienced a somewhat fantastic apocalypse, the sound of the doorbell really startled Naoki Nagayama!
Fortunately, it was broad daylight and the sun was still shining brightly outside.
Nagayama Naoki calmed down, stood up, walked over, and opened the door.
As the door slowly opened, a pretty girl showed a smile,
The two little tiger teeth are especially cute:
"Private Marseille, is it disturbing your piano practice?"
Seeing a young handsome guy opening the door, she asked a little embarrassedly.
"Um, that's not true. Practice just ended." Nagayama Naoki was a little confused, "Excuse me, what can I do?"
"Hey, I'm a little sorry, but I actually have a question to ask you."
She seemed to suddenly remember something, and she quickly bent down slightly and said, "Um, I'm Kanahara Nahoko who lives next door. It's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me."
The other side couldn't help but bowed in return: "Hi, I'm Naoki Nagayama. It's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me!"
When he came to his senses, he had finished bowing and even introduced himself reflexively. Nagayama Naoki couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing the smile, Nahoko wondered: "What is Nagayama-kun smiling at? Is there something rude about me? What's on my face?"
"No, it's nothing. The reason is difficult to explain."
Naoki Nagayama doesn't know how to explain the ridiculousness of this conditioned reflex. Perhaps only he can understand it.
"So Nahoko-san, do you have any questions for me?"
Seeing that the two of them were still at the door, he stepped out of the way and said, "If you don't mind, you can come in and talk later."
"Hey, I'm sorry."
After entering the door, Nahoko found that the living room was clean and did not look like a normal residence.
"Don't Yongshan-kun live here?"
Nagayama Naoki poured a glass of hot water: "Please sit down, don't be so polite, just call me Naoki.
I really don’t live here usually, I just come here to practice piano occasionally.”
"Arigado." Taking the water glass, Kanahara Nahoko then said the purpose of knocking on the door, "Naoki-kun, actually I took the liberty to knock on the door because I wanted to ask you what the song you just played was?"
"Uh?" It was unexpected that this was the question.
Kanahara Nahoko further said: "Because I am also a piano student, I feel that I have listened to most of the classical piano music and pop songs, and Naoki-kun's previous etudes are also familiar to me.
But after a period of very scattered rhythm, suddenly three songs sounded very good, but I didn’t seem to have heard them before. So I took the liberty to come and ask."
"Ah, you actually listened so carefully?!"
Nagayama Naoki was shocked. He didn't expect that a great god lived next door.
"Hi, because I am interested in music, I listen more carefully."
Naturally, Naoki Nagayama couldn't say anything about Apocalypse: "Well, Nahoko-san, actually, the last three songs are my own, and they haven't been made public yet."
"Eh?!!!"
It is not easy to compose a song, not to mention that the melodies of these three songs are very complete and very beautiful.
Generally speaking, everyone is the one who can create, and no matter how he looks, he doesn’t look like the young Nagayama Naoki.
"Is Naoki-kun a composer?" Nahoko Kanehara couldn't believe it.
After all, it is a piece created by later generations. Naoki Nagayama has not yet mastered the ability to act as a copywriter without changing his expression: "I'll just give it a try."
"Naoki-kun is so humble. These are very excellent pieces of music. Judging from my experience in studying them for so many years, they all have the potential to be famous."
"Nahoko-san, I will be embarrassed if you continue to praise me."
Naoki Nagayama has no doubt about the excellence of the song.
The atmosphere was slightly silent for a while...
Kanahara Nahoko lowered her head and took a sip of water, then held the cup in her hand: "Private Marseille, Naoki-kun, although it's a bit rude,
But can you let me see the music score? I really like these three pieces of music."
"I see it's no problem." Nagayama Naoki took the manuscript paper directly from the desk, "But the lyrics haven't been completed yet. They're semi-finished products at most~"
"Have you started writing lyrics yet?" Kanahara Nahoko quickly put down the water glass, took the song and started reading.
