I teach kendo in Tokyo

Chapter 192 Summer Fireworks (End of this volume)

The days that followed were calm and simple, which made Kazuma, who was used to the vigorous action after time travel, a little uncomfortable.

The Kitagashi High School Band won the third prize in the National Band Competition, but the self-selected piece "Where the Stars Are" received widespread praise, and Kazuma was hailed as a musical genius.

However, Kazuma always felt that the musicians and critics who praised the album had a tacit understanding. Once the praise was over, it was over. No one came over and said something like "I'm looking forward to your new work."

Maybe, like Consultant Yokoyama, they all concluded that "Where the Stars Are" was a piece that the Nanjo family bought from a down-and-out composer to gild Kazuma.

There was nothing Kazuma could do about it. After all, he was really good at music now. Except for a few girls who had watched him create the star, no one believed that he could really write music.

This situation can only be changed by Kazuma being a copycat in public again and copying a new piece of music.

Kazuma is not in a hurry, he will go to Tokyo University first.

After I get admitted to Dongda University and the crisis is over, it won't be too late to start copying music as a copywriter.

Now, take some time to practice harmonica every morning and evening. On the one hand, you can adjust the rhythm of your life, and on the other hand, you can prepare for the future.

Maybe if you practice harmonica to a certain level, you will get the title of harmonica skill, and then you can play harmonica to add BUFF to yourself.

July passes quickly, and in August, the Obon Festival, which is second only to New Year’s Day in Japan’s importance, is coming.

In fact, the Japanese New Year's Day is equivalent to the Chinese Spring Festival.

During the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese canceled the lunar calendar and forcibly moved the customs of traditional lunar festivals to the days corresponding to the Gregorian calendar.

Therefore, things that the Japanese originally did during the Lunar New Year, such as visiting shrines for the first time, playing a hundred-person song, and giving out red envelopes, were all moved to New Year's Day in the Gregorian calendar.

The same goes for the Obon Festival. It was originally the "Hungry Ghost Festival" on July 15th of the lunar calendar. The Japanese moved it to July 15th of the Gregorian calendar. Later, it was adjusted back one month to August 15th of the Gregorian calendar.

During the week of Obon in Japan, there is a legal holiday called "Bon Rest", and then celebrations no less than New Year's will be held everywhere.

In places where there are large shrines, such as Kyoto and Nara, they will light fires and write on the mountains - use braziers to connect the mountains to form huge characters, which can be seen from far away.

Fireworks displays, a conventional way of celebration, can be found everywhere.

For the Japanese, watching the Obon Festival fireworks display means the end of summer.

This has become a very symbolic cultural symbol in youth literary and artistic works.

The Japanese have created a large number of art works related to this.

For example, the most famous song "Summer Festival" has been covered repeatedly since it was composed in 1990, and is widely used in various scenes related to summer fireworks.

Another example is Kenshi Yonezu's song "Fire with Fireworks". During Kazuma's life, most of the people who were the cover singers of UP on a certain station had covered it.

On August 15, 1980, Kazuma was preparing to set off to watch his first fireworks display after time travel.

This day is also the day when Japan announced its unconditional surrender. Japan calls this day the "End of the War Memorial" rather than the anniversary of the defeat.

At the same time, the Japanese government will not deliberately mention the keyword "End War Memorial Day". For the Japanese people, this day is more celebrated as the Bon Festival.

As a Chinese who has traveled through time, Kazuma can only remind himself in his heart that this is Japan's defeat day, and watch fireworks on this day as a celebration of the final victory of the world's anti-Japanese war.

Apart from that, there is nothing more he can do now.

Of course, one day in the future, when Kazuma becomes stronger, he won't mind sacrificing a fish that escaped the sanctions on August 15th, a memorable day.

On this day, Chiyoko, Nanjo and Mikako all put on yukata and wore clogs.

The chairman is still dressed in sportswear.

Two boys, Hema and Amao, led the girls to the beach with the crowd.

In the crowd, Kazuma saw many young lovers holding hands, and they all looked like they were in high school.

Then Kazuma looked down at the string he was holding - yes, this string, Kazuma held the hand of his younger sister Chiyoko, then Chiyoko held Nanjo, and Nanjo held Mikako...

Kazuma had already received many envious and jealous looks from the men around him.

When passing by several children, Kazuma actually heard them arguing about whether the fireworks were flat or round if viewed from directly below.

Chiyoko also heard the children's argument. She lowered her voice and asked Kazuma: "Brother, do you think the fireworks will be flat or round when viewed from directly below?"

Kazuma: "It should be round. Most fireworks should be spherical after they explode."

However, Kazuma has seen fireworks that exploded flat in his life, but those are special products produced in China and should not be available in Japan.

"That's right, that's right." Chiyoko nodded thoughtfully.

Before the words fell, the first fireworks rose into the sky.

The crowd gasped.

Scattered orange fireworks lit up the entire night sky.

Someone was shouting: "Tamaya!"

The pronunciation sounds very similar to "tamaya", which is the customary shout of the Japanese when they see beautiful fireworks.

Kazuma glanced at Miyaji Tamamo and deliberately called "Tamaya (Tamaya)" instead of "Tamamo (Tamamo)".

The chairman glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

Nanjo watched the fireworks rising into the sky in ecstasy, and murmured softly: "Summer... is coming to an end."

Kazuma heard this and responded: "Don't be so sentimental. This summer is gone. When the four seasons pass, next summer will come again."

Nanjo smiled and said softly: "I... originally, for me, this was the last summer of my own.

"But now I have to say, you are right. Summer will come again after it goes. Every summer in the future will be my own unique summer."

As Nanjo said these words, the petrel entry above his head came to life, and it looked like a real petrel fluttering its wings.

Mikako sighed: "Oh, I can't be as artistic as you. I just think the fireworks are so beautiful."

After saying that, she raised her hands in the air and shouted loudly: "Jade house oh oh oh oh!"

Kazuma smiled and looked up at the fireworks blooming in the midsummer night sky.

He couldn't help but hum the melody of "Summer Festival" which was supposed to be composed ten years later.

He didn't notice that not far from him, a girl carrying a guitar was attracted by the melody he was humming and turned to look over.

The girl sang along with the melody that Kazuma hummed, tapping her feet gently.

At this moment, Kazuma didn't notice the girl at all, he was only focused on saying goodbye to the summer when he was seventeen years old.

Tomorrow Breaks into Volume Three: The Flower of Winter, the Light of Spring

The cover was changed because the previous cover had copyright issues, which was pointed out by the Japanese when we were discussing cooperation.

Now let’s use the automatically generated cover of a certain point to deal with it, and then change it after the painting of the big hand I asked is ready.

The character design will also wait for the master to draw the picture before releasing it.

The cooperation we are talking about now is to produce an impression song. If it goes well, my favorite Japanese virtual idol will be invited to sing.

Who allowed me to keep it a secret first? After all, I might not be able to invite you. It would be embarrassing if I said it too early.

See you tomorrow. )
