I live my life in Tokyo

There were also eight girls wearing baseball caps standing in the front row. Upon closer inspection, they had different hair colors and were smiling with tears in their eyes. They were gazing at their dazzling, most precious friends, sighing and giving applause.

Kaede Sakakibara breathed oxygen for a while backstage. It was his first time singing with his throat open, and he felt a little uncomfortable. This was caused by nervousness. In order to replenish his strength, he took the oxygen tank during his break and sprayed it into his mouth a few times, which made him feel better.

He returned to the stage amid the cheers of his fans.

The sky was already dark at this time. The last hint of deep blue was no longer visible, replaced by an endless night.

"I think everyone came here today with all kinds of thoughts, and gathered together to watch our first concert." Sakakibara stood in front of the microphone, his voice carrying a unique boyish feeling and mature gentleness, "We are the same, standing on the stage with strong emotions."

"Thank you so much for coming here today and bringing us here as well."

The three of them smiled at each other and bowed amid the applause of the fans and audience.

“If World Shine was founded to pursue dreams, then you all here also have various dreams. This is no different from us, we are all people with dreams, so the impact we can bring to your lives, in your long, long lives, is only a little bit to be honest.”

Those were a pair of shining eyes - he wanted to convey his feelings more than singing.

"I think life is like this, sometimes it's cruel, but sometimes it's very beautiful. Then look forward, and never give up... Of course, sometimes you can give up, and throw away the burden, but before that, you must believe in your future, imprint it deeply in your heart, and then throw away the burden."

"There are many things we can change, and it has nothing to do with age or gender."

Sakakibara took out the phone from her pocket and turned on the flashlight function. "Sometimes, I think the flashlight on my phone is beautiful, like stars."

One star, two stars, three stars... Thousands of stars bloomed one by one in the stadium.

The intensity of light varies depending on the model of the mobile phone, and the people holding the mobile phones are also completely different, but at this moment, everyone holds up their mobile phones, emitting their own light.

At this moment, the stars in the sky were overshadowed by the stars on the earth.

Every ray of light that comes on represents a unique person.

It was a scene so beautiful that one would want to paint it. Sakakibara Kaede looked at the scene with almost satisfaction. Miura Yuma and Nishikino Maki were moved by it, and then they showed brilliant smiles.

This is more artistic than the cheering lights and makes people reminisce.

The light from the mobile phone waving left and right looked like stars in the sky at this moment.

The young man stroked the strings of the guitar and smiled softly, "Well, in a place like this, the flashlight on my phone is of no use."

"But it's enough for everyone."

“No matter how faint the light is, it can illuminate the night when gathered together.”

You can't light up the night, but you can light up yourself.

Happy New Year, book friends!

I am very satisfied with the writing of these chapters. I feel like I have achieved great success. I wonder what you book lovers think.

I was laughing while writing the part about Yuanxiang, haha.

The two songs written in this chapter are both from One ok rock, the first one is "Chaosmyth" and the second one is "Be the light"

I wish all book lovers to get closer to their dreams in the new year, have their wishes come true, have the sun pave the way, and be as warm as ever.

Chapter 30 If I could turn into a constellation

"Humans are creatures that remember and forget, full of duality. But there are things we cannot forget, and there are things that we can forget without any problem."

"Remember each and every one of these things in your heart, and then live on."

The young man smiled, took off his guitar, and waited for Maki Nishikino and Yuuma Miura to take off their instruments and stand up.

The three of them walked towards the stage which was closer to the audience - like sharp arrows, shooting deep into the hearts of the fans and audience.

This is also where they planned to play songs with light music.

Sakakibara Kaede paused slightly as he saw the smiling face sitting very close to him in the audience.

After a while, he smiled and nodded to Sakurajima Mai and others who were waving and smiling at him.

"From now on, would you like to enjoy the music with everyone at this distance?"

The young man looked at the hands extended by the fans and audience, paused for a moment and continued, "Thank you very much, everyone. Now we will start the unplugged performance... Well, we have tried unplugged performance a few times when we were recording songs in the rehearsal room before, but this is the first time we perform in front of everyone live. To be honest, eh——"

Listening to the rising and falling cheers of the young men and women, Sakakibara smiled with a hint of success, "I was just kidding... We have rehearsed the unplugged performance many times, and it should be able to present the best memories for everyone."

"Well, although we have tried unplugged light music versions of our own songs, we found that we have never tried unplugged covers of other people's songs. Today is our first concert, and judging by the atmosphere, it feels like it's a good decision to put today as the first time we cover someone else's song."

"Hey, speaking of this song, it's a song by a new band from STARS Agency, called The End Band. They are all very talented young people. This song is a cover of a song from their first album that was released last week. If you think it's good, you might as well go listen to their original version."

Sakakibara Kaede smiled, "To be honest, I haven't practiced this song a lot, so it's okay for everyone to just listen to it casually, just as refreshing as the wind. This is currently my and Nishikino-san's and my favorite song, and you may have heard it before. Today, I will present you with the world-shining version."

He held the acoustic guitar and nodded to Yuuma Miura who was playing the xylophone beside him and Maki Nishikino who was putting her fingers on the electronic keyboard.

“If I could turn into a constellation, the original singer would end the band and the cover singer would shine in the world.”

What band's song is this?

Asakura Toru blinked her eyes. She seemed to have heard this familiar melody somewhere before. . . . When she was waiting for Sakakibara Kaede to go home together in the music area of ​​the office, she did hear such a song and melody from the rehearsal room next door.

The girl chuckled. Feng Sang could have easily covered songs by veteran singers, or covered songs that were currently popular on the Japanese Billboard. Why did he choose to sing this song belonging to a little-known band?

Sure enough, Feng Sang Yasaxi.

"It's great that you are so loved by everyone, "No, I have always been alone""

Fengsang, will you still be alone in the future?

Asakura Toru stood on tiptoe. From this distance, she could see the faint smile and sweat on the young man's face. That was what fascinated her. It was what she wanted to pursue, something better and more dazzling.

“If I could gather with you and become a constellation, I would paint absurd fantasies under the vast night sky.”

She wanted to chase. If she could lie on the top of the climbing frame with him and reach out to the constellations in the distance, what a perfect happy ending that would be.

But before entering the personal line of galgame that young people talk about with relish, Toru Asakura needs to complete his common line.

The girl wanted to give a farewell performance that she would not regret, and only after that perfect climax would she allow herself to focus her attention on Feng and other things that interest her.

“Don’t untie the thread that binds you. No matter how dazzling you become.”

The young man liked this song, perhaps because he could see from the lyrics the lyricist's description and longing for the person he cared about.

He also used to look at the people around him with longing eyes. . . Until now, he is still being followed by people with longing eyes.

"maple--"

"Hey."

When the song ended, the young man took the water bottle beside him and heard the enthusiastic shouts of the male fans. He subconsciously responded, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he took a sip of water.

"We feel like we are a very lucky band, as so many people can hear our songs, and so many people came to see our World Shining concert for the first time."

"Most importantly, what I wanted to convey to everyone, the throbbing in my heart, those little factors that influence my life, seem to have been successful."

"And there are so many friends who usually don't take the initiative to contact us, but they took the initiative to contact us and came to watch our performance. I am really happy."

"Thank you."

The humble words spoken in a young voice made many audience members laugh in good faith.

At this moment, Senior Feng was so adorable in Sakurajima Mai's eyes... She didn't use exaggerated words, maybe it was because a lover's eyes see beauty in everything. She was used to seeing Senior Feng who was calm, mature and steady.

But this was the first time she had seen Senior Feng who was so shy and smiled with a hint of embarrassment.

What would you think if you fell in love with someone and discovered a side of him or her that no one knew about?

What good luck, the girl thought. You like the part you've seen so far, right? So if I find a new side after that and like it just as much, then that's double the amount.

This may be the truth that Higuchi Enka was talking about.

Sakurajima Mai glanced at Higuchi Madoka secretly and found that her eyes were calm but boldly looking straight ahead, at the center of the spotlight.

Higuchi Madoka has discovered some of Kaede's true side. What will she do next?

As a friend, as a half-bestie, and as a partner in the strategy group watching the show, Sakurajima Mai was actually a little looking forward to what Higuchi Madoka thought of her.

“That’s a really beautiful view.”

With fans around them shouting "Encore, Encore", the three people who had originally left the stage returned to the main stage again.

Walking around the left and right sides of the main stage, waving to the fans with a smile, Sakakibara Kaede listened to the calls for an encore and returned to the microphone with a slightly helpless smile.

He just went backstage to get oxygen because he knew he couldn't escape the encore part - after all, he had songs he wanted to sing for his friends.

The love song that dominated the Japanese billboards, the song that Mai Sakurajima asked him to write on the album, the song that countless people covered once it was released, and the song that was played at weddings, "Wherever you are"

"Really, today is not so much a dream as it is a reality. Once I remember that there are only three days left and I can only sing a few more songs before it ends, I feel an indescribable feeling."

"But, we have an appointment." His smile was full of youthfulness, "We will see each other again soon."

"...Sing a few more songs before going back."

The clear male voice lingered in the stadium for a long time.

It would be great if he could turn into a constellation, stay still and shine gently on his friends.

But Sakakibara Kaede knows that this song does not mean that the person who wrote the lyrics will stop... On the contrary, she will catch up, catch up to the person who makes her feel dazzling, and revolve around her... Maybe this is the true meaning of this song.

"Well..."

The young man heard the alarm on his mobile phone, reached out his hand reluctantly, swiped the screen a few times, and canceled the annoying alarm.

We have been singing for two consecutive days. Today is Wednesday, a day off. Next are two more days of singing, Thursday and Friday. The last day, Friday, is also the day when the busiest crowds are expected to arrive.

But none of this has happened yet, and Sakakibara Kaede just wants to have a good rest today.

He was so busy the past two days that he didn't even look at his phone. Before taking a nap, Sakakibara Kaede didn't plan to shift his attention to his phone.

The alarm was set for eight o'clock, but Sakakibara Kaede slept comfortably until eleven o'clock without even having breakfast.

He doesn't wake up naturally when he sleeps - if he wants to sleep, he can probably sleep until 1 p.m., but that would make it difficult for him to fall asleep at night as he has performances the next two days.

After washing up in the bathroom, Sakakibara opened his mobile phone and swiped his fingers across the many Line chat records that he had not viewed - most of them were friends from the agency, or actors he met during auditions and filming, etc., and he would need to send thank-you replies to all of them later.

The finger stopped when it passed an avatar with a yellow magnetic levitation pick.

"Sakakibara-senpai, I don't know how to thank you for covering the song that ended our band! Our band still has a lot of things that need to be improved, so please give us more guidance during the rehearsal at the office!"

The young man thought about it, then began to edit his reply.

The other party was one of the several bands that signed contracts with the agency after the agency tasted the sweetness of being a band. As for why Kaede Sakakibara had an impression of them, firstly, it might be that the members of the band were all very young, all high school students. Secondly, Maki Nishikino was also very familiar with them. When they were rehearsing, Maki Nishikino, who had nothing to do, would sit beside them and give guidance from the perspective of music and singing to help them improve.

They are all people working towards their dreams, so I would help them if I can. Besides, Sakakibara Kaede really thinks the songs they sing are very nice.

I have to ask the lyricist for advice next time. He can't just keep copying old works. Now that I know a little bit about music and have some ideas that I've been thinking about day and night, it would be a good choice to write a few original songs.

However, the lyricist who could write a song like "If I Could Become a Constellation" must be a very cheerful person. Next time after the band rehearsal, you might as well sit down like Maki Nishikino, say hello to the person who wrote the lyrics, and have a good chat face to face.

Having woken up late, Sakakibara Kaede had no appetite for lunch, so after washing up, he ordered the hotel's room delivery service - this thing was paid for by the agency, so it would be a waste not to order it.

Leaning on the sofa in his bathrobe, he casually turned on the TV and began to check Twitter, which he hadn't paid attention to for a few days.

The first thing that caught the eye was the agency’s pinned news, which meant that the BD was already in preparation. The agency also specially selected a few wonderful drone photos, showing the three members of the World Shining Group basking in the light.

As for which day the Blu-ray BD will be released, Sakakibara Kaede doesn't know yet. It is estimated that they will choose the day when their performance is best, after all, the playlist is the same every day.

"Thank you for the music that makes the world shine and makes people feel shocked and uplifted."

“The song that symbolizes friendship, the orange light makes me feel warm.”

"The starlight formed by the cell phones is so tear-jerking! I will always love you @榊原枫."

Under that post, there were enthusiastic comments from fans, and many Huangdou crying faces... This was to release the emotions in their hearts, right?

As long as the ending is satisfactory, Sakakibara Kaede is very satisfied with everything at the moment and his performance over the past two days.

The light music part also received a lot of praise, and many fans felt that his live version was better than the studio version, and they planned to buy the Blu-ray BD early to play the song in an infinite loop.

Looking at their comments, Sakakibara Kaede smiled in a good mood.

"Do you have time today?"

A sudden Line message caught Sakakibara Kaede's attention. At this moment, the doorbell rang. After Sakakibara Kaede opened the door, the waiter pushed lunch and coffee in on a cart, and then politely closed the door for him.

The young man took a sip of coffee and finally had time to see who had sent him the text message.

"Yuan Xiang-san, I'm resting all day today."

"Do you have time to go out and relax?"

"Didn't Madoka-san return to Tokyo?"

"No..." Higuchi Yuuka replied and continued typing, and after a moment, she said, "I bought a ticket for the fourth day."
