Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 301 298. Cultural Festival (2): Talent Contest
The stadium was already bustling with spectators and was very noisy.

The people sitting in the front row were all school leaders and senior teachers, and those in the back were also crowded with students and tourists who had arrived early, and it was almost impossible to find a decent seat.

"Hey, what should I do?" Sakifumi Akagawa put his hands on his hips: "Can I only find a seat in the back row?"

"Actually, there is still a way. Why don't we let Brother Takatsuki threaten them to give up their seats? I'm just kidding, don't pull my ears, Brother Takatsuki!" Takasawa Kishou made an inappropriate joke, and was then caught by Genji Takatsuki. ear.

"Hey, you're finally here! I've sent you several text messages!" At this time, they saw Suzuki Yuhito waving to them from the front row, with many bandages and band-aids still wrapped around his fingers:

"I've reserved a seat for you in advance, come and sit down quickly!"

"Oh oh oh! I'm saved!" Tang Zegui and others ran over happily.

After everyone sat down, Kyushu Cheng and Mizuhashi Hideki also came over.

Kyushu Makoto was dressed in ancient costume to prepare for the subsequent "kendo stage play".

Mizuhashi Ehime is wearing a Western princess dress, with cute light makeup on her face, and her hair is carefully styled. She plays the heroine Alice in the play "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and looks a little unsure.

"Oh, you guys are here. How are the activities in the class?" Kyushu Cheng asked Tang Zeguishang.

"Very good, very good, everything is going well!" General Tang Zegui made an OK gesture and said: "There will be a stage show later, you guys have to work hard too!"

"Of course. Are you confident, Mizuhashi-san?" Kyushu Cheng turned around and asked.

"No, no problem! After all, I have been rehearsing for so long, I will do my best." Eihime Mizuhashi puffed up her cheeks and was so nervous that she slurred her words: "Seniors, please do your best! "

"Okay, okay, when the time comes, relax a little and just treat the audience as nothing but yourself and just think that you are having fun~" Makoto Kyushu patted Mizuhashi Hideki on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Well, thank you, senior!" Eihime Mizuhashi blushed: "Senior, you want to watch my performance too!"

"." Senior Sister Yagawa crossed her arms and crossed her legs. She looked a little unhappy, but didn't say anything.

"Ah, I'm sorry, the queue at the bathroom door is too long. I've been queuing for a long time to go to the bathroom!" A black-haired girl wearing glasses ran over carelessly and came to Kyushu Cheng: "Brother Cheng, the show has begun. ?"

"Not yet, Xiaojing." Jiuzhou Cheng said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, take your seat first."

"Hey, is Jingzi here too?" Tang Zeguijiang exclaimed.

"Yes, their cultural festival is the day after tomorrow, so they made an appointment to watch my performance today." Kyushu Cheng explained: "In exchange, I will also go to their school's cultural festival the day after tomorrow."

"Wow, is this the so-called [Cultural Festival Exchange Agreement]? It's a very classic [cross-school love] plot!" Takasawa Karasawa exclaimed, but was immediately glared at by Suzuki Yuhito and Akagawa-senpai. .

"What are you talking about [cross-school romance]? The joke is a bit too much!" Xiao Jing blushed and quickly changed the subject while holding her glasses frame: "Anyway, I wish brother Cheng a success in his performance. What, this dress It suits you very well, like a knight!"

"Thank you, I think it looks good too. The kendo club is quite good at helping me choose clothes." Kyushu Cheng shook his sleeves.

"Ah, Fumi, you have a lot of competitors, ah, ah, I'm not joking, so don't pinch me~" Mrs. Akagawa whispered to her daughter beside her, but she was pinched by Saki Akagawa angrily, so she could only smile. Shut up.

While everyone was chatting, a boy who should be the chairman of the cultural festival executive committee came up to the stage and announced: "The [Talent Contest] is about to begin. Please take your seats as soon as possible and keep quiet."

"Okay, we should go backstage to prepare." Jiuzhou Cheng put his hands behind his back and left like a real knight: "See you in the world."

"Brother Kyushu has already integrated into the character~" Suzuki Hisuhito said with emotion.

"I'm leaving too, bye~" Mizuhashi Hideki waved her hand obediently.

"Delinquent boy, you are here!" Miyana Mienko, wearing black gothic clothes, ran over, grabbed Suzuki Hisahito's arm and urged: "Come back with me! Hanami has been looking for you for a long time!"

"Okay, okay, don't drag me! I'll be here right away!" Suzuki Yuhito was dragged towards the backstage and waved goodbye to everyone before leaving: "I'll cheer for us later!!!"

Soon, all the lights in the gymnasium were first turned off, and then turned on neatly.

[Talent Conference] officially opened.

The first warm-up was a choral song sung by several members of the student union.

This was followed by a rakugo performance (which can be understood as Japanese cross talk) by the "Rakugo Culture Department".

Immediately afterwards, it was - "Next, please invite the light music department to take the stage!"

The Light Music Club is a small club, so their performance is naturally put in front as a "warm-up show".

Amid applause from the audience, three women and one man carried their instruments onto the stage with the help of staff.

Minori Fujii, who was in charge of the lead vocal, wore a red blouse and short skirt and stood in the C position with an electric guitar on her back.

Next to him is the bassist Mikako Mika, who is dressed in a gothic style, and behind him is the drummer Hanami Sawahara, who is wearing a linen casual dress.

And the most eye-catching thing is the pianist Suzuki Yuhito, who has yellow hair and looks like a bad boy. He is sitting in front of the piano and shaking his legs nervously.

"Calm down. We've come this far. Don't be afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of anymore." Suzuki Hisuhito rubbed his hands and hypnotized himself.

"Suzuki! Cheer up, you bastard!" Takasawa shouted to cheer him up, but his head was pressed down by Genji Takatsuki next to him. He must have disliked him for being too noisy and embarrassing.

Under the expectant gaze of the audience, Fujii Minori took the microphone and introduced herself in a spirited voice:

"Everyone, welcome to the performance of our light music department! We will perform three songs today. You should all have heard of the first song. It is a hit song that has been in the top five of the J-POP music charts for two consecutive years: "Running to the Night" by YOASABI! ”

【Like drowning and melting~】

【In the night sky where there are only you and me~】

Fujii Minori sang a few lines a cappella first. I have to admit that her voice can definitely be described as "ethereal" and it caught the audience's attention in an instant.

Moreover, many classmates in the school knew that Fujii Minori's voice was a treasure that many serious music clubs wanted to recruit, but she was rejected by her on the grounds that "the atmosphere of the club was too restrained."

After she sang a few opening lines, she suddenly paused for three seconds, like the last calm before the storm.

Just when the audience began to get impatient due to the pause, Suzuki Hisuhito immediately took action and began to play the prelude of the music.

Notes that have long been familiar to him emerge one after another on his scarred fingertips, and are also mixed with a few dazzling skills that a layman would find very powerful.

In fact, if there are professionals who know piano at the scene, they will find that Suzuki Hisuhito's playing posture is very poor, like chicken claws crawling on the keys. The standard is not as good as that of a child who has just started playing piano. It is simply the wildest way among the wild.

But who cares? At least he played the music beautifully, and that was enough.

Immediately afterwards, the bassist eagerly joined in the intro, and finally the drummer was ready to go.

Amid the tacit accompaniment of the band, Fujii continued to sing with an ethereal and unique voice while strumming the guitar chords.

Although it was just a warm-up performance, many audience members were still immersed in the slightly sad and passionate music, and it felt like a lifetime ago until the music ended.

"Hey, I'm really nervous. In fact, I'm afraid that I won't sing well enough and make everyone unhappy." Fujii Minori is very good at creating the atmosphere of the show, and then announces the next song:
"The next song is a rock song, highly recommended by the bassist of our band!"

“Next, please listen to Musa Band’s debut song: “Mygo Samurai (The Lost Samurai)”!”

Different from the lyrical pop music of the first song, the second song is an exciting and explosive rock song with a strong metallic flavor.

Sanhua Mianzi obviously enjoyed it and played even harder than the first song. She danced while strumming the strings, wanting to jump up and perform a 360-degree Thomas Pilo.

Hanami Sawara is also very focused. When playing the drums, her body unconsciously sways to the rhythm of the music.

"It's great, I feel pretty high~" Suzuki Hisuhito continued to play the piano with ridiculously wrong and deformed gestures, with a bright smile on his face.

It's really strange. I obviously don't like piano at all, I even hate it to the extreme. But when he saw the audience swaying to the music and his teammates immersed in the music, he felt uncontrollable joy.

Probably for the first time, a strong emotion called "joy" surged into his heart while he was playing the piano.

After Fujii Minori sang the last line of lyrics, Mikana Menko played a bass solo that was still unfinished. Of course, this was also rehearsed in advance.

At the end of the performance, Sanhua Mianzi half-knelt on the ground with her bass in her arms, striking a handsome pose and raising the "rock salute" gesture. She was greeted by thunderous applause from the audience.

After the audience came to their senses from the rock music, Fujii took the microphone and continued to announce:
"I hope you like our second song. The third song is our original song, it... eh? Why did the microphone break?"
