Tokyo Love Story

"Oh!"

After hearing this explanation, Beichuan Che was instantly relieved.

There are only three such awesome young people in Japan, so that's still acceptable.

"but……"

Yukisa Morishima turned her head and moved closer to Che Kitagawa.

With this action, her swan-like white neck inexplicably looked even more slender.

"but?"

Beichuan Che asked in a low voice.

For him, this was the first time he attended such an internal concert composed entirely of industry insiders.

In the concert at Shirakawa High School, the ensemble he performed with Yukisa Morishima was, in a sense, bullying, like an adult against a child. Later, as his musical level improved, this adult became a 'fully armed special forces soldier'.

However, mastering one's own skills does not mean that one's horizons will be broadened; this broadening of horizons requires experience.

An occasion like the one right now is the best 'experience'.

Especially when there is an industry insider like Yukisa Morishima around to explain.

"Her performance, in a sense, is..." Morishima Yukisa's eyes showed a little more thoughtfulness. After considering the words, she added the second half of the sentence, "It lacks a little spirituality, which is also her persistent problem.

“But no one can help her with this problem.

“If she can get through this stage, the person who is equally good as her will be surpassed by her, and the person who is slightly better than her will also be left behind by her.

"Of course, if you can't cross it, you'll be stuck for a long time."

The warm breath hit Beichuan Che's neck, and the itchy feeling made him subconsciously shrink his neck.

"Snow yarn..."

"I got it."

Before he could finish his words, Morishima Yukisa smiled playfully, then turned around and sat up straight again.

The next second, Beichuan Che's expression also relaxed.

The seats in each row in the hall were not particularly close to each other, in the classic old-fashioned classroom style. In addition, almost everyone's attention was on the stage, so no one noticed the little movements between the two of them.

"Is this the only way to achieve enlightenment?"

Beichuan Che straightened his expression and brought the topic back to the starting point.

"Well, you can understand it that way."

Morishima Yukisa answered subconsciously. Half a second later, she seemed to realize something. She turned her eyebrows and looked at Kitagawa Che with some confusion.

The fact that this person asked her this question means that he has never encountered similar confusion.

For no reason, Morishima Yukisa pursed her lips and muttered with some resentment, "I know you are so powerful."

"Ah? Huh??"

This time, it was Beichuan Che's turn to be confused.

He had no idea what was going on.

After thinking about it, Beichuan Che shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The reason he didn't know was not his talent, but the too-easy-to-use learning panel, or it could be understood as the youth version of "deep blue plus some .jpg".

The performance on the stage came to a temporary pause, the girl bowed, and applause broke out.

The next performer then took the stage.

According to what Yukisa Morishima told him before the concert started, the scores for this private concert would not be announced immediately, but would be scored first and then announced one contestant at a time.

The young man in a well-fitting suit sat in front of the piano, his five beautiful fingers resting on the keys.

After taking two deep breaths, he pressed the black and white keys.

A familiar prelude sounded.

Masago Kawai and Nobuhiko Okayama, who were sitting on the judges' panel, looked at each other, and both the teacher and the student saw the smiles in each other's eyes.

However, the expression of Kitagawa Che, who was sitting in the audience, became inexplicably subtle.

The song the other person played was none other than "Don't Go", which was popular in the streets a few days ago.

Suddenly, he felt that his decision not to change his mind just now was a prediction.

Shaking his head, Kitagawa Che turned away his eyebrows and took the initiative to break the silence between him and Morishima Yukisa, "Yukisa, there is a male and female duet in "Fireworks". I marked it out at the time. Have you practiced it?"

"some."

Yukisa Morishima was not really angry with him and answered his questions honestly.

"Well, I'll leave it to you later, please."

Beichuan Che said this quite seriously.

"I should be the one saying this."

Morishima Yukisa lowered her eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of apology in her eyes.

"Then there's the improvisational solo part. For this song, I can improvise a solo, but..." Kitagawa Che thought about it, "Forget it, no buts."

The reason why an improvisational solo is called an improvisational solo is that it is a very sudden situation and it will not be rehearsed in advance. It is more like a natural expression of emotions when the time comes.

"Anyway, come on!"

"Well, come on!"

After the words were spoken, the two fell silent again.

Chinatsu Sagawa, who was sitting in the second row, silently withdrew her stealthy glances.

For her, the only notable opponent at tonight's private concert was Yukisa Morishima.

Of course, perhaps her partner should also be included.

With her eyebrows lowered, Chinatsu Sagawa looked at the number plate with '3' printed on it in her hand, and a hint of anticipation flashed across her eyes.

She had looked at them specifically, in the order in which they were published.

The license plate is on Yukisa Morishima's body.

This means that their showdown won't take too long.

I would like to thank Yimengruqingyun, JiushengdongrenxinJwm, Do you like the sea? I like the waves, and Yuanbaoge for their monthly tickets. Your support is the motivation for my writing.

See you tomorrow.

Chapter 184 Concert Confrontation Incident (Part )

The performance of performer No. 2 was average.

As his performance ended and he bowed off the stage, the results of the first performer were announced, and she scored 92.6 points.

This score was beyond Beichuan Che's expectations.

He personally felt that this score was actually too low. Theoretically speaking, perhaps a higher score would be more appropriate.

But he looked at Yukisa Morishima beside him, whose face showed an expression of "there is nothing wrong with this score", so he changed his own assessment score.

After all, compared to Yukisa Morishima and the others, he was indeed a newcomer to such occasions and did not understand the rules.

Morishima Yukisa turned her eyebrows, lowered her voice, and explained quietly, "Generally speaking, the best can only get below 95 points."

Because the judges involved in the concert selection are all well-known seniors in the industry. On the one hand, they are picky, and on the other hand, anything above 95 points basically means that they have crossed the limit of the younger generation and officially reached the level of the older generation.

“Because 95 points is the watershed?”

Kitagawa Che thought about it and looked at Morishima Yukisa thoughtfully.

This is what he heard from the girl's tone.

"Yes, you can understand it as the pinnacle of the younger generation and the starting point of the older generation."

Yukisa Morishima met Kitagawa Che's gaze, and an indescribable complexity flashed across her beautiful eyes.

In a sense, the young man in front of him has already reached this stage.

"Then I understand."

Beichuan Che nodded.

Simply put, the limit for the younger generation is around lv.7. Once you cross the lv.7 threshold, you will enter the track of the older generation.

However, judging from his current musical level of lv.8, there might not be anyone in Japan who can reach such a musical level.

Take the example of Yukie Morishima whom he had observed before. This internationally renowned musician’s piano proficiency had only reached level 9.

And according to the rumors he had heard, Yukie Morishima was already the strongest of their generation, bar none.

This is evident from this.

While the two were chatting, Chinatsu Sagawa stood up, walked gracefully onto the stage, and sat in front of the piano.

"Hey, isn't that Chinatsu Sagawa?"

In the audience, a young man with curly hair looked at the stage several times before finally recognizing her.

At the beginning of this private concert, everyone in a small circle was having fun, so he didn't notice Chinatsu Sagawa in the crowd before.

"Yes."

The girl sitting next to him nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"Isn't this the concert organized by the Morishima family?" A puzzled young male voice sounded, "Why is she here? I remember that Sagawa Chinatsu and Morishima Yukisa were not on good terms."

"For face."

A more mature male voice answered.

Then, the discussion gradually died down.

There is a story between the two surnames, Morishima and Sagawa. For people in the industry, the details cannot be told even if they spend three days and three nights talking about it, but to put it briefly, it can be told in one sentence.

——The two families are rivals.

However, as of now, the competition among the previous generation has already determined the winners.

The game ended with Yukie Morishima's complete victory.

The whispers from the audience did not affect Chinatsu Sagawa on the stage.

Or to be more precise, for Chinatsu Sagawa, the only person who could influence her mood was Yukisa Morishima.

She closed her eyes slightly, adjusted her state, and then pressed the black and white piano keys.

The notes flow along like flowing water.

The audience, who had just been whispering and discussing the two contestants before them, suddenly fell silent.

Inside the judges' booth.

Kawai Masago looked at Sagawa Chinatsu in front of him, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He knew about the conflict between Morishima and Sagawa, not only between their mothers, but also between their entire generation.

The struggle of the previous generation ended with the victory of Yukie Morishima.

As for this generation, it’s hard to say.

At least from what he has seen right now, the little girl Chinatsu Sagawa gives a very good impression when it comes to piano playing, and she is already showing signs of surpassing the younger generation.

The music was still flowing, but the hall was silent. The empty environment formed a perfect reverberation at this moment.

offstage.

Wearing sunglasses, Chizuru Sagawa stood in a hidden corner and looked at her daughter on the stage, a faint smile appearing on her serious face.

Chinatsu Sagawa is able to achieve this, which makes her stronger than she was back then.

Similarly, she is stronger than Yukie Morishima back then.

As a mother, she is well aware of how much effort her daughter has put in to get to where she is today.

However, no matter how hard the road here was, all these hardships will turn into flowers on the road ahead at this moment.
