Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 342 How to write tomorrow’s news (8000 words)

In the beginning, Higashinoji didn't actually have the idea of ​​drawing Sakai Spring Water.

And it wasn't until he heard Xiao Yuyanren mentioning backup dancers and assistant singers that an idea flashed in his mind.

Sakai Izumi, a Japanese female queen in her previous life, was also a break-out type. She can be regarded as ruling an era in a true sense. Even in China, she has gathered a lot of fans.

In the Japanese animation industry, she also has many works, such as "My Friend" in "Slam Dunk" and "Turning the Wheel of Fortune" in "Detective Conan". It can be said that both otakus and fans are fascinated by this innocent and shy person. I have a soft spot for shy female divas.

Similarly, Sakai Spring Water also has the reputation of ‘yellow people’s peak appearance’——

However, Higashino doesn't want to comment on whether this is an exaggeration or not.

But if we can really use the skills of his painting system to restore Sakai Spring Water and move it directly to the NHK Kohaku Uta Battle screen

Isn’t this a sure win?

What about Yukie Oura, what about the red group finale. In front of this national-level ‘sister’, you have to move to the other side – this is the real senior figure in the Japanese music scene.

"Don't Give Up" is known as the strongest support song for the "lost decade of the bubble economy", which is what she sang and made popular.

With the 'original singer' standing by to help with the singing, Higashinoji, the 'pseudo-original singer', is even more confident.

This is just like Oura Yukie is still a primitive man drilling wood to make fire, while Higashinoji here has already formed a Galaxy Battleship. This is not on the same level at all.

And with this idea in mind, Higashinoji started to take action, recalling the days when he heard Sakai Izumi's "Don't Give Up" and the image of the pure and shy Sakai Izumi in his previous life.

Everyone must know this.

When a person recalls a beautiful thing, his mind will always subconsciously beautify it.

This is human instinct, and Higashinoji is certainly not exempt from it.

So when he recalled the moment when he drew the water of Sakai Spring with a pencil sketch.

Higashinoji himself was stunned.

no

Was Sakai Spring so beautiful in the previous life?

Why is it so beautiful?

He looked at the sketch in front of him and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

The Sakai Spring in this painting is indeed too beautiful. Although he subjectively thinks it is not as beautiful as Konoe Ryoka, is this a bit too exaggerated?

Higashinoji marveled for a long time, then he exhaled and sighed: "You are indeed worthy of me, I am the only one who can draw such a beautiful painting, right?"

Although this somewhat smacks of self-promotion.

But it has to be said that the Sakai Spring water painted by Higashinoji is indeed very restored, and even with his personal subconscious beautification, it vaguely surpasses the appearance of Sakai Spring water in the previous life.

Izumi Sakai is shy, innocent, and not used to facing the camera. When she sings, she will secretly glance at the camera, as if this action can relieve her nervousness.

This is the Sakai Spring water restored by Higashinoji.

There is a portrait of Sakai Izumi on the paper. She is holding the microphone. She does not make too many movements like other singers. She just shows her innocent and shy face and sings her song.

Of course, just this one is definitely not enough.

Higashino thought for a while and decided to use animation to show Izumi Sakai's movements on stage.

When the time comes, he will let NHK play the continuous movements of Sakai Izumi he drew on the rear LCD screen.

She would walk from far away to the nearest place, and 'stand' next to Higashinoji through the LCD screen.

Sakai Izumi's singing movements are much simpler.

In Higashinoji's memory, the Japanese national queen didn't move much on stage. At most, she just lightly tapped her feet and leaned forward to the rhythm.

It's very simple and it doesn't take long for Higashinoji to draw it.

That is to say, while constantly drawing and making small animations like this, Higashinoji successfully "invited" the "Sakai Izumi" from his previous life to the stage.

This is the trump card that Higashino mentioned earlier.

Don't say anything else.

With this trump card, Tonoji felt that the small pistol in his hand was suddenly replaced by a rocket launcher. Even if Oura Yukie performed at his best, it would be of no use at all.

Just when I was thinking this, the red group in front started to perform the finale.

The female singer at the finale of the red group is named Arisa Obama. She is a very experienced female singer. She is fifty-six years old this year. Even if Yukie Oura sees her, she will bow her head respectfully and shout loudly. Senior, I dare not say more than a word.

The so-called enka is actually a genre of Japanese folk songs. As a must-see program for the Japanese people, the Red and White Song Battle is not only for young people, but also for some old people during the Showa era.

Unlike today's Japanese youth, enka is a memory of their time, so the status of enka singers in the Red and White Uta Battle has always been high.

Similarly, this is also an important reason why NHK chose "Don't Give Up". "Lemon" is too young, and they also have to take care of older audiences.

Looking at Arisa Obama who was wearing a kimono and singing the New Year encore, Higashinoji couldn't help but nodded.

Apart from anything else, the song did have a flavor of the times, although he couldn't appreciate it.

By this time, the singers from all the other groups had almost already lined up on both sides of the venue according to the red group and white group, and were preparing for the last song according to the instructions of the chief host.

"It's finally starting."

Watching the red group on the stage finally finish singing, Takahashi Yumi regained her energy below.

"What does 'finally begin' mean? Didn't you just listen to the first half and sleep the rest of the time?"

Fujiwara Aoi next to her looked at Yumi Takahashi with some sigh.

She didn't know why Takahashi Yumi could still sleep in such an environment, considering that all the contestants in the Red and White Song Competition above were singing at the top of their lungs.

"Hehe. There's nothing we can do about it."

Takahashi Yumi touched her head and replied sheepishly.

Although the atmosphere of the Kohaku Uta Battle is indeed strong, and the songs sung by the singers are also quite nice, no matter how good the song is, you will naturally get tired of it after listening to it too many times. After all, the Kohaku Uta Battle has the same pattern, sing, sing, sing, Keep singing.

She couldn't stand it anyway and wanted to sleep.

However, as the main character, Higashino Tsukasa’s song, Takahashi Yumi, I’m sure I won’t miss it!

"The light sticks are ready! Now just wait for Mr. Higashino to come out!"

Yumi Takahashi took out the light stick prop specially prepared by the NHK studio, flicked it open, and looked at the stage excitedly.

Next to them, Chihaya Higashino and Ryoka Konoe heard what Takahashi Yumi and the others said, and without hesitation, they opened the light sticks with a snap and waited for Higashinoji to appear.

That is in this case.

The host of Team White stood up and interacted with the following guest judges, and then began to introduce:

"The theme of this year's Red and White Song Competition: Singing brings power. In 2004, the ending song was - "Don't Give Up" by Higashino-san."

This is undoubtedly a very simple introduction, but it lifted the spirits of many viewers below and in front of the TV.

The Red and White Song Battle is building momentum in advance.

Conflict between Higashinoji and Oura Yukie

This is undoubtedly an interesting topic.

It was under such curious and interested gazes that Higashinoji's figure appeared in the middle of the performance stage.

He didn't go through any foreshadowing. He just held the microphone and said directly: "I will always remember the happy heartbeat when I met your eyes at that accidental moment."

Listening to Higashinoji's clear and translucent voice, Oura Yukie, who was standing in the middle of the red group, couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

Isn't this the phonetic version? But Higashinoji himself has this voice?

This is unscientific. And the singing skills are too good.

and

"Why does it seem like something is coming out of the big screen at the back?"

Oura Yukie couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

Yes.

As soon as Higashinoji appeared on the stage, the entire studio went dark, and the only light in the audience fell on Higashinoji.

But unknowingly, Oura Yuki clearly noticed that the large LCD screen behind Tonoji lit up.

That is

"painting?"

Not only Oura Yukie raised such a question, but even Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi in the audience were also a little surprised.

First it was a small dot in the distance, and then it turned into a human figure as it gradually got closer.

Only then did Konoe Ryoka and the others below see clearly.

It was a young woman.

As the lens on the big screen continued to stretch, the woman got closer and closer until she was standing next to Higashinoji.

He was indeed ‘standing’ by Higashinoji’s side.

It was as if she broke through the shackles of the plane and truly came to this world.

Pretty big eyes, shy and pure face

It can be seen that she is a character in the animation drawn by Higashinoji, but this two-dimensional feeling of breaking through space and coming to the third dimension made many viewers who had never seen Higashinoji's paintings cry out in surprise.

Very surprised indeed.

Many people even rubbed their eyes and couldn't believe it.

They originally came to listen to the singer sing, but they didn't expect to see this scene.

"Teacher Higashino, this painter is really terrible."

Looking at Higashino Tsukasa standing with Sakai Izumi, Kotama Hikoto, a member of the program crew, couldn't help but sigh.

When he heard that Higashinoji didn't need any accompanying dancers or anything other than accompaniment, he felt a thump in his heart.

But now it seems that the ratings are simply gratifying! It would be an understatement to say that it is rising steadily.

After all, who has ever seen a character on a flat surface seem to come alive in front of you through an LCD screen?

The atmosphere in the studio was instantly heated up.

At the same time, people on the Internet who were watching the battle between Kohaku Uta and Kohaku Uta all made a sound of exclamation.

Who is the girl on the big screen? Why do you look so good-looking?

Are you an acquaintance of Higashinoji?

Some people were surprised and some people discussed it.

But what happened next made them even more stunned.

On the big screen, Izumi Sakai stretched out her hand to hold the microphone. While Higashino sang the climax of "Don't Give Up", she actually lightly stamped her feet and started the chorus.

"Don't give up, it's just a little bit close, please keep running until the end. No matter how far the distance is, my heart will be with you, chasing that distant dream."

The voice of this unknown girl is as clear and translucent as mountain spring water. Her voice cannot be said to be gentle, but it gives people a deep healing and positive feeling.

As soon as the climax was sung, some of the audience in the audience were stunned. There were even a few audience members who had just fallen asleep, just like Takahashi Yumi. Their expressions changed significantly, and they followed the melody of the song. He immediately started humming softly.

When one or two people sing, they often pull others to sing along.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, it's like if you yawn, others will always have the thought of yawning when they see it. This kind of thought cannot be stopped.

In addition, the song "Don't Give Up" was originally classified as a support song in its previous life, and it was originally a very provocative song.

Suddenly, not only the few people just sang "Don't Give Up" in unison, but the entire studio was singing together.

Even the people on the program team were stunned when they saw this scene.

This was not their instruction, but the spontaneous behavior of the audience in the studio below, as if it was exactly like the theme of this year's Red and White Song Competition, "Songs bring power." The people below sang loudly.

They didn't know what to do for a moment?

Should we stop this or let it go?

It feels like it will cause live broadcast accidents if left unchecked.

But if it is stopped, how can it be stopped?

With so many people singing together, can't they just grab the microphone and just tell them not to sing along?

This is impossible.

The staff of the NHK program team were actually a little reluctant to part with it.

They felt an inexplicable motivational force flowing through their bodies, as if they were trying to clear away the haze.

Oura Yukie subconsciously started humming along with the rhythm of Sakai Izumi and Higashino Tsukasa.

But soon she herself reacted, and then she almost rolled her eyes in anger——

Bastard! Why am I so unsatisfied? That's the song of my enemies!

but

Oura Yukie gritted his teeth again.

This song is really nice. It sounded even better after Sakai Izumi and Higashinoji sang it together! She had to accept it!

Standing on the stage, Higashinoji was a little surprised when he saw the entire studio audience singing along.

Then came the sigh.

It is indeed worthy of Sakai Izumi. It is indeed worthy of "Don't Give Up".

In the gloomy bubble economy era, Izumi Sakai broke the gloom with this song.

In Japan of this era, Sakai Izumi's songs have not faded and can still touch people's hearts.

On this point, even Higashinoji had to admit it.

Music is indeed an art that can move people's hearts and convey emotions.

Higashinoji turned to look at the 'Sakai Izumi' beside him.

Through drawing skills.

He seemed to really feel that Sakai Izumi had indeed appeared on this stage and conveyed the power of her singing.

"I don't know how to write this news tomorrow."

Higashikata couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
