431, the unknowing grace of knowing and meeting someone(1/2)

The Budokan in Tokyo, specifically the Nippon Budokan, is located in Kitanomaru Park in Chiyoda District, very close to the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, and not far from Naoki Nagayama’s Yamazakura-in Temple.

When Nagayama Naoki arrived here, it was just past one in the afternoon.

After walking into the venue, I found that the main stage frame had been set up, but the various audio circuits were exposed in the venue, and it seemed that they were being debugged.

Nagayama Naoki saw a familiar figure: "Fan Gong-san!"

Shanchuan Fangong turned around and said in surprise: "Zhi Shusang, why are you here?"

Normally, either Yoshimura Otomo or Nagato Daiyuki would come to communicate with him about concert-related matters. Unexpectedly, it was Naoki Nagayama who came this time.

"Otomo-san is temporarily busy, so I came here to check on him."

Naoki Nagayama briefly explained, "How's it going? Has the construction been completed?"

"Hi, the basic shape is completely fine, and we are currently debugging the sound." Yamakawa Shigeko led Nagayama Naoki to the venue, "When Ozaki-san comes over for rehearsal, we can make final adjustments."

"When did Ozaki Yutaka come over?"

"The appointment was at two o'clock"

After Yamakawa Shigekō's introduction, Naoki Nagayama inspected the setting of the main stage of the concert. Ozaki Yutaka is a singer. In order not to overwhelm the guest, the setting was very simple, but he also put a lot of thought into the color matching and decoration to "youthful".

"The concept is integrated into it.

And it seems that each song has a different background.

"These themes and backgrounds will be shown again during the rehearsal." Shanchuan Fangong couldn't help explaining, for fear that the real controller behind Shuyou Films would be dissatisfied in some way.

Nagayama Naoki turned around and looked at the entire venue. The place that was originally a playground was now occupied by a concert stage. It was like an elephant suddenly appeared in the homes of ordinary people.

"The Budokan doesn't look that big," Naoki Nagayama muttered to himself, "I wonder how it compares to the Tokyo Dome."

After hearing this, Yamakawa Shigeko asked curiously: "The Budokan is already one of the largest venues in Tokyo. Naoki-san, what is the Tokyo Dome?"

"Ah, it hasn't been built yet." Naoki Nagayama then remembered that the construction of the Tokyo Dome has not been completed in this era, so he had to make a fuss, "One of the future venue plans."

"Future venue planning? Never heard of it." Yamakawa Shigekatsu wanted to continue asking, but Nagayama Naoki had already gone to another place.

At the same time, in a design office in Tokyo, Takashi Honma and Naoya Sakata were excitedly looking at the model in the middle of the office.

Everything else in the entire office hall has been cleared out. On the big table in the middle is a huge sandbox-like model space, which contains a scaled-down Kyoto courtyard.

After Nagayama Naoki assigned the task to Honma Design Office, the master and apprentice went to Kyoto, carefully measured some data, and took many live scenes.

After returning to Tokyo, I began to race against time to design.

Now, the design of the entire courtyard is almost completed, and the exquisite model looks like a two-dimensional building.

"Teacher Honma, it's finally finished!" Naoya Sakata rolled up his sleeves and looked at the buildings on the sand table, "What a beautiful courtyard!"

Both of Takashi Honma's eyes are bloodshot, and the big dark circles have covered the entire eye sockets. He is so haggard that he even has a lot of white hair. He looks like he has stayed up a lot of nights:

"Yes, this can be said to be the masterpiece of my life!"

Takashi Honma expressed this emotion: "Naoya, please do a little more perfection and make sure it's perfect. I'm going to take a rest first."

"Hi!" Naoya Sakata nodded in agreement, "But Mr. Honma, when will we contact Naoki-san to confirm the design?"

"Tomorrow," Takashi Honma said softly, "If Naoki-san requests too many changes, we will have to redesign it."

"Plus the construction time, I want to live in it next summer, so I'm still a little nervous."

Generally speaking, for such a major design project, just confirming the design draft requires two to three discussions.

When construction finally starts, there is no hope before the end of the year.

Naoya Sakata looked at his teacher's tired figure and couldn't help but sigh. His teacher was already nearly fifty years old, and it was too hard to stay up late like this.

Then he looked at the courtyard in the sand table,

"I will also perfect it today, and strive to achieve perfection in every detail, so that Naoki-san can't find any thorns in it!"

After wandering around Naoki Nagayama at the Budokan for a while, he waited for the arrival of Yutaka Ozaki.

She is still wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, with messy broken hair covering her eyes, almost covering her delicate face, and her whole person exudes a rough youthful atmosphere.

Yutaka Ozaki and Akira Suto came together, and they didn't even drive a car.

"Naoki-san?" Akira Suto spotted Nagayama Naoki first, "Are you back?"

"Sudo-san, yes, I came back the day before yesterday. I am free today, so I came to see the preparations for the concert." Nagayama Naoki replied and then looked at Ozaki Yutaka, "Ozaki-san, how are you, are you ready?

Yet?"

"Naoki-san." Yutaka Ozaki, who was a little shy in private, said very seriously at this time, "I have practiced all the songs to perfection. There will definitely be no problem!"

"Oh? So confident?" Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised.

"Hey, I know how important this Budokan concert is! I will never betray Naoki-san's trust!"

Yutaka Ozaki spoke eloquently, and he was even more respectful to Naoki Nagayama.

This made Nagayama Naoki even more strange, but he didn't say it outright on the spot.

"Well! I just got daddy!"

After Ozaki Yutaka stepped onto the stage to prepare for the rehearsal, Nagayama Naoki asked Sudou Akira: "Sudō-san, what's going on? Ozaki-san seems to have been injected with chicken blood?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Huh? Isn't this because of Naoki-san's trust?" Akira Suto looked at Naoki Nagayama,

"Otomo-san told us that before Naoki-san went abroad, he specially set aside nearly 20 million yuan in order to have Ozaki's concert held on time;

In addition, about the song that Naoki-san gave him before he left, Otomo-san said that Naoki-san had never written a song for a male singer before, but he didn’t expect that he actually wrote two songs for Ozaki, no, plus the theme song of "Boys Over Flowers Three"

If so, there are already five songs!

Not only did I write songs for the new album, but I also came up with such excellent songs when promoting it!”

In fact, after Yoshimura Otomo heard the demo tape of the song "Yuyaki no Uta no Sudo" and found out that Naoki Nagayama left this song to Yutaka Ozaki before he left, the excitement in his eyes even made Akira Sudo excited.

You can see it.

"This is a song that can be passed down to future generations!" Yoshimura Otomo said, "Other singers in the entertainment industry will fight over this song."

Sudou Akira vividly described the previous scene, which surprised Nagayama Naoki himself. Did he not expect that he had invested so much in Ozaki Yutaka without knowing it?

Although it was because he was the only male singer to his name, and at that time, there was a mentality of throwing away the burden of "Yuyaki no Uta Sunset Song".

But in the eyes of others, this is proper respect!

Yutaka Ozaki was naturally very moved by such kindness, and he respected Nagayama Naoki very much.

Naoki Nagayama scratched his cheek, feeling a little embarrassed. It had become like this before he knew it, so this was the only way it could go on.

"Well, let's look forward to Ozaki-san's performance!"

After waiting for a while, the band had finished warming up, and Yutaka Ozaki on the stage was ready to start rehearsal.

The entire martial arts gym is closed. Although some martial arts gym employees will occasionally look over, it doesn't matter.

The first song is naturally the main song, "ヤキモチ(jealous)".

The ethereal piano sound leads to a gentle melody, the drums beat a brisk rhythm, and the addition of guitar and bass injects the soul of youth.

Yutaka Ozaki's voice tends to be bass-heavy, but in this song he uses a falsetto to raise the pitch, like a young boy recalling the anecdotes of his youth.

Nagayama Naoki, Sudo Akira, and Yamakawa Shigeko, who was originally here to check the sound, were all quietly listening to Ozaki Yutaka's performance in the front row, and applauded between performances.

Even though there were only three audience members in the huge venue, Yutaka Ozaki devoted himself to singing. Naoki Nagayama in the audience couldn't help but sigh, "This guy who amazed the Japanese music scene in history, if he hadn't passed away halfway,

, will definitely become a shining gem in the music palace!

In "Jealous" Zhihu, there are Yutaka Ozaki's own "Night of 15", "Love of Love" by Sudo Akira, "Kim Yao Day's Rakuno" by Komuro Tetsuya, and Oda Tetsuro's "Leading Youth"

All of them are songs from the soon-to-be-released second album. Not a single song from Yutaka Ozaki's first album is used. The song selection for this concert is quite bold.

The official release date of the second chapter album will be at the same time as the concert. At the Budokai venue, Nagato Daiko will directly bring nearly 10,000 copies of the new album.

Finally, "Yuyaki's Song" is a new song that has not been shown in various announcements and TV programs. Nagato Daiko specially produced a surprise single record and it is also on sale here.

At this time, Yutaka Ozaki, who was sweating profusely, had already started singing the closing song of "Yuyaki".

It is different from the opening song "Jealous", and it is also somewhat different from other songs in this concert. It is not so much about youth, but more about memories of the past.

However, it is unexpectedly appropriate to put it at the end of the day, because at this time, the sun is setting in the sky of the martial arts venue, the sunset is all over the sky, and a sad atmosphere permeates the entire venue.

"Sudou-san, have you confirmed it? Is it sunny on the day of the concert?"

Nagayama Naoki looked at the perfect sunset and asked.

"Of course!" Akira Suto said with great certainty, "The weather in Tokyo has been sunny recently!"

"That's great." Naoki Nagayama sighed, "This concert will definitely be a great success!"

After the rehearsal, Nagayama Naoki said goodbye to the exhausted Ozaki Yutaka and told him to take a good rest.

After that, he naturally returned to Yamasakura-yuan in a hurry, and quickly took the big dog out for a walk.

After walking to Qingshan Store, I saw that the old man Qingshan Xin was still in the store.

"Old man Qingshan, you haven't gone back yet?"

"Wait until the temperature drops a little before we go. Why did you come to walk the dog at night?" Nobu Aoyama was wearing a loose yukata and hiding in the store to enjoy the cool air.
