I live my life in Tokyo

So fans finally decided to use the young man’s sky blue eye color as the theme color of the heart.

When seeing the love heart, Sakakibara Kaede was reminded of the once popular Muse. It seemed that when they were having a concert, there were fans holding love-shaped fluorescent lights of different colors below.

After the bus arrived at the station, Sakakibara Kaede woke up Miura Yuma. After getting off the bus, the two saw a black private car parked in the parking lot not far away.

"You've worked hard. Are you hungry now? You can eat something before the live broadcast begins."

Miss Nanakusa said in a gentle voice. The two of them and Nishikino Maki who was sitting in the passenger seat smiled and took their seats. After hearing the agent's words, Sakakibara Kaede nodded.

"Let's go to the convenience store and buy some bread or something. Doesn't the live broadcast take about an hour and a half?"

The normal dinner time starts around five and ends around six, but if you are a white-collar worker who goes to and from get off work, considering the commuting time, it is possible to have dinner around six or seven.

Sakakibara Kaede's proposal was unanimously approved by the other two. It would be fine to just eat some bread instead of going to the restaurant to eat some big fish and meat, so as to avoid ejaculating on the spot in the live broadcast room, which would definitely not be a very beautiful picture.

The young man saw the oden, meatballs, and kelp and other meat dishes boiling in the soup, and the smell made him feel hungry. He swallowed and bought a pineapple bun.

"Miss Nanakusa, would you like something to eat?"

Seeing that Nanakusa Hazuki paid the bill and stood aside waiting for them patiently, Sakakibara Kaede came to her side and asked in a low voice.

"I'm not hungry anymore. Nishikino-san has already asked me just now. But I still want to thank Sakakibara-san for his concern." Nanakusa Hazuki smiled and waved her hand. She looked at the young man's face and pondered for a moment, "Hmm... It seems that Sakakibara-san is in good spirits."

"I took a nap in the afternoon, and now I really have endless energy." The young man waved his arms twice to demonstrate.

Miss Nanakusa shook her head. "That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about Sakakibara-san's temperament. Before, Sakakibara-san looked like he was confused about something, but now, um... he looks like he's made up his mind."

Sakakibara Kaede blinked, not knowing what Miss Nanakusa was talking about.

Seeing that the young man didn't understand, the latter laughed. She gently hit Sakakibara Kaede's shoulder and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything. Eat quickly, but don't wolf it down. It's bad for digestion."

It really feels like a sister.

Sakakibara Kaede finished the pineapple bun in no time, and the three of them got into the private car again. Nanakusa Hazuki drove them to the studio where they would be recording the show tonight.

It's called a studio, but it's actually the place where the three members of World Shining attended the meeting and signed the contract last time, a branch of Asahi Shimbun.

Several people entered the hall and took the elevator to the live broadcast room under the guidance of the staff. There were many staff and cameramen here, as well as directors, lighting assistants and other professionals who were communicating in a low voice on the scene.

Miss Nanakusa's work of leading the way was almost over here. She made a gesture to the front, signaling the three people from the World Shining to look at the fashionable man and woman who were talking in front of them. "They are the hosts of tonight. Um... they are responsible for guiding the topic and maintaining the set. One is from the Wind Band Union, and the other is from the Asahi Shimbun."

The three people who were shining in the world came forward and greeted them with a smile. The man with wrinkles on his face and a serious smile was called Masakazu Shindo. He started from the Kansai Wind Instrument Union and is now a professional performer of the Japan Wind Instrument Union, specializing in euphonium. The lady was from the Asahi Shimbun, and she was Miyaji Aimi, who was outstanding in appearance and also a broadcaster in the company.

Masakazu Shindo is the oldest among the group, but he is not stern. Instead, he gently asks about the band's formation process, daily music life, etc. Yuuma Miura and Maki Nishikino are both from Tokyo University of Music. Masakazu Shindo encourages them to join the Japan Professional Wind Instruments Association in the future, and the two accept it with a smile.

The director quickly made preparations. The staff came to the few people, interrupted their conversation with some apology, and reminded them in a low voice that the live broadcast was about to begin.

Five people came in front of the camera, the three from the Shining World sat on one side, and the two hosts sat on the other side.

At this time, Miyaji Aimi, the announcer, was the host. She was invited to be the host in order to calm the situation with her beauty, and it was also a training for her. After all, this was not a serious press conference, and proper atmosphere adjustment was still necessary.

If Masakazu Shindo of the Professional Wind Instruments Association were to do this job, it would obviously be asking too much.

"Ahem, ahem, can you hear me?"

Miyaji Aimi waved at the camera with a pure and lovely smile, and Shindo Masakazu, who was sitting next to her, nodded politely.

Sakakibara Kaede noticed that there was a screen in front of the tables of himself, Miura Yuuma, and Nishikino Maki, which displayed the live broadcast room, the number of people in the room, and the chat interface.

The three members of World Shining did not appear in the shot, and now it is time for Miyaji Aimi to have her solo performance.

As mentioned before, it is really too much to ask Mr. Masakazu Shindo of the Professional Wind Instruments Association to perform crosstalk, so Miyaji Aimi must shoulder this responsibility alone.

"Welcome to the live broadcast of the World Shining Concert. Hey, good evening, everyone."

"good evening."

Sakakibara Kaede listened to the host livening up the atmosphere and glanced at the chat window. His eyelids drooped slightly. Has someone already given a tip so early?

It's not surprising that someone gave tips during the live broadcast, but it seems a little too early.

"Ken Sano gave me a 10,000 yen reward."

"Uehara Yo gave me a reward of 10,000 yen."

"Mai Sakurajima gave a tip of 20,000 yen."

Looking at the chat records flying by, Sakakibara Kaede fell into deep thought.

If I retire one day in the future, I might as well do live streaming.

Chapter 26: That Digital Reward (Annoying)

"Hey, the audience is so enthusiastic, are they eager to see the three members of World Shining?"

Miyaji Aimi had a smile as beautiful as a flower. As one of the most beautiful and talented announcers in the Asahi Shimbun, it was indeed very suitable for her to do this kind of job. Shindo Masakazu spoke less, and most of the time he just agreed with a few words and nodded.

Miura Yuuma poked Sakakibara Kaede's shoulder and said, "So many tips. Are you so popular?"

Sakakibara Feng heard a hint of sourness in his words. He glanced at the list of rewarders. Some of them were actors and artists with whom he had had interactions, and some were die-hard fans of Maki Nishikino.

Yuuma Miura: “…”

"It's okay, it's okay. You have fans too. Who wouldn't love such a handsome golden-haired drummer?" Sakakibara Kaede comforted.

He was not lying, he was telling the truth. The three members of the band are indeed very popular. Of course, Sakakibara Kaede and Nishikino Maki have a large number of traffic themselves, so it is normal for Yuuma Miura to feel this way.

Yuuma Miura curled his lips and snorted.

The people who gave tips were indeed acquaintances. Among the people Sakakibara Kaede knew, in addition to people like Sano Ken who gave tips from the beginning, members of the STARS agency came to support the band from the same agency, and the amount of tips ranged from one thousand to ten thousand. In addition, there were also actors from other agencies who she met while filming TV dramas and commercials.

He saw the post silently below, in which Asuna gave a reward of 5,000 yen, and he smiled, then frowned.

Yuuki Asuna is still a minor, and 5,000 yen is not too much, but not too little either. Although Sakakibara knows that Yuuki Asuna is from a wealthy family and is still a lady, she is still a minor, and accepting Yuuki Asuna's money will give him some psychological burden.

Well, I'll talk to her in person later.

But don't worry too much. Yuuki Asuna is usually a good kid. Except when she was a little wild playing Sword Art Online, she is a gentle Yamato Nadeshiko at other times. She should change if I tell her.

"Hello, everyone in the live studio, good evening."

The camera turned around, and Sakakibara Kaede seemed to feel the camera, the thoughts in his mind quickly dissipated, he faced the camera and gave a standard polite smile.

Yuma Miura and Maki Nishikino greeted the camera with a smile.

The tablets in front of them are now functional, and they can read the messages from users in the live broadcast room in real time and respond to them.

The announcement of the concert news in this way really made the fans feel novel. It is different from other activities where only PVs are released. Fans can interact with them in person!

Sakakibara Kaede glanced at the screen quietly and was slightly surprised to find that users' messages were scrolling down rapidly.

When he is bored, he will watch live broadcasts of people playing games, but the comments are not that popular.

The young man dreamed that a bird gave him a reward of 14106 yen. He sighed and thought that this string of numbers means "I love you" in Japanese. Who is this radical fan?

As for the rewards such as 1145,11451 and , Sakakibara Kaede looked at them and his face turned black.

"Good evening, everyone. Wow, I feel the warmth coming towards me. I guess everyone is watching the live broadcast while eating dinner now."

Sakakibara Kaede received a look from Miyaji Aimi and nodded slightly. He knew that he was needed to stand up and say a few words to make the atmosphere more harmonious.

Looking at the series of yes, yes, yes, hi, hi, hi on the screen, the young man sighed, "We are still hungry."

The pretentious face made the fans and audience laugh. Miyaji Aimi covered her mouth and chuckled as if she was holding her eyes. Sakakibara Kaede coughed twice and said, "Hey, regarding the holding of the concert, we, World Shining, are looking forward to it."

"On the day of the concert, we will sing new songs from the new album. I hope everyone will like them."

"Ahem, thank you Sakakibara-san for the introduction. Then, let's watch a PV first."

Miyaji Aimi took over the topic with a smile, and then she looked at the big screen.

The above is the PV that the three members of World Shining specially shot for their new album.

Watching the scenes gradually change, Sakakibara took a sip of water to moisten his dry lips. Almost every song in their next album needs to shoot a MV, so the next few days will be busy. Fortunately, his dubbing work for Your Name is almost finished, and now he just needs to prepare for the concert wholeheartedly.

Several song clips of the new song were released in the PV. Miyaji Aimi took the opportunity to say hello to Miura Yuma and Nishikino Maki, and signaled that they could be more active and act as if they were fans in the live broadcast room listening to their performance live.

The two nodded. They did not have the same experience as Sakakibara Kaede. They had experienced it before at concerts, and tens of thousands of viewers had looked at them in the same way. However, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room was now more than five digits, and even overseas users had entered the live broadcast room.

"If you're too nervous, just pretend they don't exist." Sakakibara Kaede chuckled softly. He looked sideways at Yuuma Miura and Maki Nishikino who were sitting beside them. Yuuma Miura was the most nervous. You could see his body was tense. "Miura, you don't want Yumiko to see you like this, do you?"

Yuuma Miura's expression froze and his back straightened a little.

"Maybe Mr. Sakai is watching. Things change over time. He treated you like Zhu Ling back then. Aren't you dissatisfied?"

Yuuma Miura's eyes were shining, he looked like an eagle and a wolf, and his sword was already thirsting for blood.

Maki Nishikino was both amused and confused. Seeing that Yuuma Miura gradually regained his masculinity under the stimulation of Kaede Sakakibara, her judgment of Kaede Sakakibara's rhetoric rose to a higher level. This guy is indeed a popular actor. Even Miss Nanakusa looks at him differently.

Yuki House, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo.

Asuna Yuuki returned to her room, she changed her outdoor clothes, folded them and put them back in the closet. As she moved, the lights and air conditioner in the house sensed someone entering the room and turned on automatically. She breathed a sigh of relief as a cool breeze blew over her body.

Putting the phone that was broadcasting live aside, Asuna Yuuki opened the live broadcast on her computer. She felt her eyes sore after watching it on the phone for a long time.

I just had a meal with my parents and other business partners. It's called a meal, but it's actually about connections. Yuuki Shozo wants to expand more branches and businesses, which is inseparable from connections. One of the purposes of bringing Yuuki Asuna out is to let her see the world and let her know the power of the family business. There are also some who take their daughters out to show off, telling everyone that my Asuna is going to get admitted to the University of Tokyo and is a sure thing.

Yuuki Asuna understands that her parents will be busy soon, and want to spend more time with their daughter when they are not busy. She knows the story of Feng Senior and knows how difficult it is for the family to be together, so she did not refuse her parents' invitation to her to stay at home for a while.

"That boy's gaze made me feel uncomfortable."

Recalling the sons of several other company directors at the dinner, Yuuki Asuna shook her head. They were indeed all good-looking, graduated from prestigious universities, and would join their fathers' companies in the future with a smooth road ahead. The pride and pride in their eyes could not be concealed. They spoke to her many times, and their fathers seemed to be happy to see it happen.

She naturally declined politely, without any mistakes.

She only liked him, and he hugged her. Although they were not in the same city, they were looking at the same night sky.

We will meet again eventually. When the summer vacation is over, she will change into an autumn long skirt and put on a scarf, and can warm herself in his arms to her heart's content.

"Asuna, let's go rest first, and don't turn the air conditioner too low."

"Mom, I know."

Yuuki Asuna glanced at the temperature on the remote control and turned it up one notch.

Watching Senior Feng and Yuma Miura chatting and laughing in the live broadcast room, and talking about their work experiences in the past few months, Yuma Miura complained bitterly, using his own experience to illustrate the hardships of a wind instrument teacher.

"So, the students in the wind orchestra are having a hard time?" Miyaji Aimi asked again with raised eyes.

"Yes, I watched them practice and play every day and night during the summer vacation, just for the gold medals of the Kansai Conference and the National Conference. I think they are amazing. Although they are only high school students, their perseverance and persistence are worthy of respect."

Yuuma Miura and Kaede Sakakibara nodded, and the latter spoke.

Shindo Masakazu, one of the hosts who had been echoing the topic, coughed lightly and said, "... Indeed, playing a musical instrument is a very difficult skill to master. If we take the violin, which is a leading string instrument, as an example, the training a student receives in childhood is a decisive factor. The same is true for the piano."

As a professional musician in the Wind Instruments Union, his words carry a lot of weight and what he says are all the truth. If you want to master a musical instrument, you have to start at a young age.

As you get older, you will have to put in more energy, as can be seen from the members of the wind orchestra who train day and night during the summer vacation.

The older you get, the more things you have to deal with. It's not like children who can devote all their attention to musical instruments.

"Hey, next, the information about the new CD."

Miyaji Aimi smiled and spoke in a clear tone, "The new CD will be released all over the country after the concert. Fans in Osaka will have the opportunity to participate in the World Shining Book Signing Event and get a signed version of the World Shining CD. Please see the PV for details."

Asuna Yuuki held her chin with one hand and found that the screen changed to PV again. While watching the live broadcast, she opened Sword Art Online.

During the time she was at home, she was not idle. She did her homework in the morning, read in the afternoon after a short break, and sometimes made plans with Mite Yuuki to go somewhere in Tokyo to play together. In the evening, she would play Sword Art Online when she had time.

As Captain Sakakibara Kaede has been busy recently, Asuna, as the vice-captain, naturally took on the responsibilities of the guild.

She knew that some members of the group would privately and kindly call her the leader's wife. No matter how many times she heard it, she would still feel shy, but after the shyness, she would feel a warm happiness.

"Miss you a little."

Asuna Yuuki reached out and touched the young man on the screen who was smiling casually under the light, as if she was touching a flesh-and-blood entity.

She wanted to go to Osaka, she wanted to see him.

“Eh—what? This time World Shining will actually be performing in collaboration with the Osaka Symphony Orchestra?” Miyaji Aimi opened her mouth in surprise after seeing the news on the bulletin board, as if she had just heard the news. The fans and viewers in the live broadcast room also immediately became noisy, typing a series of “eh eh eh eh eh”—

Those who knew the inside story, such as Sakakibara Kaede, couldn't stop laughing. He nodded and said, "We have listened to the performance of the Osaka Symphony Orchestra before. So we had the idea of ​​combining rock and orchestral music. This is also the original intention of holding this concert."

"For this purpose, we have specially prepared a lot of music scores and are still actively creating them." Maki Nishikino nodded with a smile.

"I have some additional information on this point."

Shindo Masakazu held up the script and looked at the camera seriously, "In addition to the Asahi Shimbun, the Kansai Wind Music Association will also do its best to promote this concert and contribute to the fusion of rock and orchestral music."

"The Kansai tournament will be held at the end of August this year. In addition to the fixed gold prize, the judging panel will also select a school and award it a special gold prize."

This was an unprecedented operation. Most of the gold rewards received symbolized uneven strength levels, but once this special gold reward mechanism appeared, it immediately brought a bit of gunpowder to the Kansai Conference.

“The school that receives the special gold award will perform on stage with the Osaka Symphony Orchestra and World Shine.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the live broadcast room exploded.
