The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

Nobuo Fukuyama’s confidence does not come in vain.

First of all, he is a musical performer. Although he is not very famous, he still has tens of thousands of fans on his Twitter account. He usually posts some videos, and occasionally someone is outstanding.

If you can get hundreds of thousands of likes, you can be considered a slightly famous music performer.

For such a person, it is naturally impossible to only play one instrument. The cello is indeed his best instrument, but the piano is not bad either.

Compared to his incompetent nephew, he has been in the industry for decades, and is proficient in seven or eight musical instruments. He has appeared in many schools and even TV shows. Among them, he can be ranked among the top three instruments.

In addition to the well-known cello, there is definitely a piano.

At this time, in order to help Fukuyama Yaki to vent his anger, Fukuyama Nobuo, who listened to his nephew's opinion, performed the piece that was surprisingly the same piece that Baiyunshan had just performed - "To Alice!"

This move can be described as heartbreaking!

I use the piano you just played to play the music you just played to defeat you. There is no more thorough and direct slap in the face than this, let alone a young man in his twenties who thinks he can do it.

Even if he was humiliated like this at his age, he would definitely be so angry that he would spit out a mouthful of blood!

However, although the trick was a bit vicious, Nobuo Fukuyama had nothing to do. His eldest brother died young, leaving behind such an only son. Nobuo Fukuyama, who thought he wanted to take good care of his son for his eldest brother, was not always obedient to him.

, but he still treats it as his own. Now that he knows that he is being bullied, he naturally wants to stand up for him, even if it offends others.

What's more, he's not a big shot! He's not even a member of his circle, he's just an agent for Sony. Even his qualifications to participate in this show are questionable. It seems like he came in through the back door. Nobuo Fukuyama slaps him in the face.

It's a slap in the face, so what?

Nobuo Fukuyama thought disdainfully.

Thoughts are flowing in my mind, but the movements on my fingertips never stop.

As a professional musician, when comparing the song "To Alice" played by Baiyunshan earlier, although it is the same piece of music, the difference in style can be clearly felt.

The beautiful melody is brisk and bright, like a clear spring flowing through the mountains in summer.

Nobuo Fukuyama's performance can be called perfect!

The general audience in the audience may not be able to hear it, but just think it sounds good, but the three referees are more or less exposed to this knowledge, especially Ryuichi Sakamoto, who is the head referee and is Japan’s ceiling level.

As a musician, within a few seconds, I could hear the difference in level and the strength of Nobuo Fukuyama in front of me.

It has to be said that even if it was the same song, Baiyunshan's performance just now would not be able to beat him no matter how much better he performed.

The banana people exchanged glances again, and they all saw worries in them.

After all, it was originally agreed that Baiyunshan would win this game, so Nobuo Fukuyama could just put his foot down a little bit, and it was not an obvious let-down. He could perform perfectly in the front, and occasionally make one or two mistakes in the back, which would be enough.

It will damage the level and reputation of the latter, but it will also allow the former to announce the news and the program can continue better.

But now that the song is stopped, there is no fault to be found. This song is played to the fullest by the person in front of me. It is clear that he does not want Baiyunshan to win.

It seems that the first candidate for the show to lose two games in a row is about to appear——

Everyone present couldn't help but think of it.

They can no longer imagine how Baiyun Mountain can win. There may be a chance to play another Beethoven classic, but this may be slim.

Not to mention the skills that Nobuo Fukuyama has honed over decades, Baiyunshan is a young boy in his early twenties. It can be seen from the song he just played "To Alice" that Baiyunshan's piano talent is not very high.

, the training time is too different, and the talent is not ridiculously high, it seems impossible to win anyway.

Several younger members in the lounge couldn't help but cover their eyes, not wanting to see Baiyun Mountain's tragic defeat.

Even though I was mentally prepared in advance, it didn’t end like this!

"Let's welcome the next contestant to the stage!"

Under the spotlight, it was finally Baiyunshan's turn to take the stage.

Although there were many voices at the scene who were not optimistic about him, Baiyunshan remained motionless, sitting steadily on the ornately carved chair in front of the piano.

His hands gently placed on the keys.

With just this action, everyone at the scene, including the members in front of the TV, could feel a slight difference. It was a very subtle feeling, but they couldn't put it into words.

Only Ryuichi Sakamoto, who had always been calm at the scene, noticed a familiar aura, and his expression changed for the first time!

Hashimoto Nanami in the lounge was also startled. She thought of Baiyunshan who came on stage to sing a song on the day of the lantern festival. She also felt this aura the moment she opened her mouth!

While everyone was waiting with bated breath, Baiyunshan gently pressed the black and white keys.

"Boom!"

From slow to fast, the quiet music with a touch of sadness flows out from the fingertips of Baiyun Mountain.

A scene seemed to appear before everyone's eyes. In the spring after the cold winter, pieces of cherry blossom petals blown by the wind drifted into the deserted corridor. Warm clear light shone in through the windows, and the white and transparent curtains were blown by the wind.

As the wind blew, the cherry blossom petals fell in the empty classroom. There seemed to be books placed on the slanted table, flipping in the breeze.

It's light and bright, but also sad and peaceful.

Depressed yet hopeful.

The melody of the piano completely attracted everyone at the scene. Baiyunshan played more and more calmly. After completely redeeming himself, he could confidently say to everyone that no one understands this piece of music better than me! No one can.

Play better than me!

His fingers were sometimes quick and sometimes gentle, as if he was no longer playing a piano piece, but like a weather-beaten old man with white temples, a faint smile on his face, telling stories that happened when he was young.

.The touching and sad feelings are all in the past, leaving only a quiet and long aftertaste.

"..."

After pressing the last piano key in Baiyun Mountain, the scene was still quiet.

Immediately afterwards, waves of applause sounded like mountains and seas, and cheers resounded through the sky!

“It plays so well!”

"It's incredible! I thought that Fukuyama-san, who was in front, had reached his peak and there was no way he could lose. I didn't expect that someone could surpass him!"

"I feel like my body and mind have been baptized! Is this the charm of music?"

"You said that since he played so well, why was he so mediocre in the last round?"

"Needless to say! It must be for the sake of the show. If you show your true skills directly when you come up, what else is there to watch?"

"You're right. I think he was just letting off steam. Apparently Nobuo Fukuyama went too far and chose the same song as others. They were angry, so they counterattacked!"

...

There was also joy in the lounge.

"It's great! Baiyun-san\amazing/!"

"Don't worry, we may not win yet!"

"It doesn't matter even if you don't necessarily win. Baiyun Sang has already shown his strength with this move. There will definitely be no boos whether he loses or not, and I can't think of a reason to lose!"

"Huh? Didn't you just say that you couldn't think of a reason to win?"

"Hey, that's just for the effect of the show. Without me saying this, would the next twist be so exciting?"

"Haha, you can create program effects even through the TV, Sayuri really has you!"

Nana Hashimoto, who was unconsciously crossing her chest with her hands in the corner, breathed a sigh of relief and put down her hands. However, she saw Mai Fukawa staring at her with a puzzled face next to her.

"Nanamin seems very nervous, Baiyun-san?"

Hashimoto Nana's expression remained unchanged: "Isn't it right to be nervous? You see, everyone is very concerned about whether he can win, right?"

Mai Mai nodded: "That's right, but it always feels a little different..."

"What's the difference? Maiimai, do you still want to eat your cake? If not, let me eat it." Hashimoto Nanami quickly changed the subject.

"Hey~ This can't be done, Nanamin, unless you beg me -" Mai Mai suddenly smiled mischievously, holding the cake and shaking it back and forth in front of her like a puppy.

"Huh! Forget it!" Hashimoto Nana said with a strong voice.

"Really? Then I'll eat it?"

"Okay, I beg you, good Mai Mai, just give me this!"

A certain Hokkaido girl smelled so good instantly.

"Humph, I didn't say I would give it to you if you beg me. Nanamin was fooled so quickly~"

"Okay, you actually dare to trick me again, let's see how I teach you a lesson!"

"Yada~Nanamin don't want it!"

Unlike the buckwheat group who were laughing and having fun over there, the three members of the Shengshengxing group gathered next to them were still looking up at the TV.

"I want to learn piano from Baiyun-san." Erika Ikuta said her heart without hesitation with stars in her eyes.

"Yeah, by the way, let him finish telling the story about the sky. It's really shameless to keep delaying it! It's best to tell it while playing the piano." Ikoma Rina nodded quickly.

"Isn't this not good? Baiyun-sang is too tired, isn't she?" The kind-hearted Xiao Nan obviously didn't cheat on her like these two unscrupulous friends, and said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? Don't you want to hear it?" The little bird on the side was rarely by Father Qiao's side (because Mother Mai was), so he took the opportunity to jump out and shout.

"?Think...?" Xiaonan nodded obediently.

"That's it!"

So when Baiyunshan didn't know anything about it, the lolita in the lounge hastily made such a torturous plan. Baiyunshan was still unaware that the reins had been put around his neck.

...

TV Tokyo, the live scene of the God of Musical Instruments.

After the excitement at the scene gradually cooled down, the banana people looked at each other in tacit understanding, couldn't help but smile and shook their heads, looked at Baiyun Mountain and said with emotion: "Baiyun Sang, it's amazing, I didn't expect that you can still hide such a skill."

Baiyunshan didn't say anything, and smiled with a restrained aura.

"This is an original piece, right? I've never heard this piano piece before. Did you create it?" Mr. Sakamoto suddenly pulled the microphone on the table to speak.

Of course this person couldn't do this. Baiyunshan nodded quickly: "Yes, the name of the song is Sakura Corridor. It is a song written for spring."
