Chapter 1814 UPG Band (We are getting married tomorrow, there should be no update)
Chiba Makoto watched Asakura Riku walk into the small store with flamboyant banners, and then walked forward and stopped at this shop. I took a quick glance at the street-facing shop of more than ten square meters.
In addition to the steaming steamer, this store also has snacks placed in glass cabinets. Its name is also very distinctive: Signature Ayakashi Desserts.
‘Ayaka! ’
Chiba Makoto thought silently in his heart, whether it was steamed buns or snacks, they were all named after the city where the Minato brothers once lived.
I'm afraid this cannot be explained by coincidence.
Chiba Makoto thought, and said to Minato Yonghai who came up to greet him: "Bring some buns and put some snacks in them."
"Okay. Please wait.”
While Yuumi was loading steamed buns and snacks with ease, Chiba Makoto seemed to say unintentionally: "Ayaka, it's a very special name, does it have any special meaning?"
"Uh"< br>
Minato Yonghai, who was filling the buns, was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Minato Yonghai, who was vigorously kneading the dough, and asked: "Brother, does this name have any special meaning?"
He was focusing on the dough in his hand. He said without looking back, "It smells very good."
"Oh!"
Minato Yonghai nodded as if he suddenly understood, and then handed the half-filled paper bag to Chiba Makoto, with a smile on his face and said: "It's very It means fragrance.”
“That’s it!”
Chiba Makoto took the paper bag and said casually: "I thought it was a place name. I have been to a city before, and its name was also Ayaka."
"Ayaka. City?!"
< br>The smile on Minato Hohai's face froze, and the whole person looked a little dazed. He seemed to be murmuring in his sleep and said: "It seems... a bit familiar."
"Here are twenty Ayaka buns and two kilograms of the signature Ayaka snacks."
But there was a sudden shout. , but interrupted Minato Huohai's sleep talk, causing him to wake up instantly.
The arrival of the 'big customer' made him energetic. A 'business smile' appeared on his face again, and he said, "It's Xiang. I'll install it for you right away."
As he said that, Minato The living sea was already in motion, picking up Ayaka steamed buns and signature Ayaka snacks with quick hands and feet. In a short time, two big bags were filled.
Chiba Cheng also looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a young man dressed very 'hip-hop', walking over at a bohemian pace, with chains all over his body following his movements. They bumped into each other from time to time, making a "clatter" sound, and carrying a colorfully painted guitar on his back. The whole person stood out as a non-mainstream person.
"This"
Chiba Makoto said that he really wanted to take a camera and take a picture of Xiang dressed up like this. It would definitely be very interesting when he 'wakes up'.
Just like this, he is really too "spiritual". Anyone with normal aesthetics and brains would not be able to dress up like this. Obviously, today's Xiang is the same as Asakura Riku and the Minato brothers. He 'forgot' his identity as Ultraman and lived in this world as a normal, well, not quite normal person.
“Here are the Ayaka steamed buns and the signature Ayaka snacks for you.” Minato Huami had packed the steamed buns and snacks Xiang wanted. After taking the money, he bowed slightly and said, “Thank you for your patronage. ”
“Remember to come to our concert”
Xiang picked up two heavy bags, said a few words, turned around and left, leaving only one behind. Colorful and colorful.
“Concert?”
Chiba Cheng asked while eating steamed buns: "He is a star."
"Yes, a rock star in a small town. If their band is very famous, if you are interested, you can go to them at night "Listen to the theater." Minato Hohai enthusiastically recommended it.
"Theatre?"
The combination of small town rock stars and theater made Chiba Makoto feel that this concert should be different from what he thought.
“Two intersections ahead, turn right and you will see it.” Minato Huohai immediately pointed the way.
Such vigorous promotion made Chiba Makoto feel that he was afraid that the theater would close down because there was no one, causing Xiang to stop coming to buy their buns, thus losing a big customer?
"I'm very interested."
Chiba Makoto is quite interested. Although he wants to save the world, he doesn't delay having fun.
He really wants to know what Xiang, who has always been aloof and cool, looks like when rocking out.
By the way, there is also the auditorium light.
Will he also start music like Xiang?
—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—
I didn’t wait long before finishing the buns and snacks, and dusk had already fallen.
I have to say, it tastes really good.
It seems that good people will be good wherever they are. Even if they switch to selling steamed buns, they can still become a popular sign.
Throw the paper bag into the trash can on the side of the road, then turn right and look up to see the neon-lit ‘theater’.
The reason why I recognized it immediately was because of the big three letters on it: UPG!
It’s really consistent.
The former defense team became the name of the theater.
But it is said to be a theater, but it is actually a converted warehouse, with the red brick walls exposed. Obviously, as a rock star in a small town, his income level is linked to the affluence of the town.
Along the way, we saw roads, infrastructure, etc., although they could not be called dilapidated, but they had nothing to do with luxury. They could only be described as average. From this, it can be seen that this town is just an ordinary town.
You can only think about things when you are full and warm. As an ordinary small town, it is estimated that not many people have the energy and time to engage in art.
With fewer literary and artistic young people, rock music will naturally not attract many people.
It was almost the performance time written on the red brick wall, but there were very few people coming to the theater, and Chiba Makoto saw that no one had collected the tickets, so he entered and sat down, and then started For small talk, treat this place completely as a place for leisure and communication, and entertainment comes at the back.
After walking in, what I saw was also a warehouse. Compared with the real theater, probably only the name is the same, and the rest is completely unrelated.
This team is too shabby.
Although the performance has not started yet, you can get a general idea from this layout.
This is like a young man in his twenties who sits in front of a computer and codes every day. He will probably imagine himself as a writer and think that this is his job.
For Xiang, the same is probably true.
Dress yourself up in a colorful way, put on non-mainstream clothes, carry a guitar, and you will feel like a musician.
Just when I thought of this, a burst of rapid guitar sound came from an old speaker. The poor sound quality made the already poor music seem even more noisy.
Although it is not harsh, it is a bit hard to describe.
After being together with Maya for a long time, my appreciation level and musical literacy have improved a lot. Although I can’t be called a musician, I can be considered a critic.
So once you listen to the beginning of this guitar, you can roughly know the overall level. Following the sound of guitar, then keyboard music, and then drums, amidst this series of music, a large car light turned on, illuminating the stage, revealing three people, one was Xiang whom I had seen in the afternoon, He was playing the guitar intoxicatedly, and the other two were girls. One was playing the gongs and drums vigorously, and the other was playing the keyboard next to him. The two of them were dressed in the same very cute way, and they looked like the same group at first glance.
And these two people.
It can only be said that UPG has really gathered together people. One of these two people is Arisa Sugita and the other is Sakuya. Most of the seven-person team has been gathered here. .
And in the middle of them, a young man who was also dressed very awesomely turned his back to the small audience, pretending to be mysterious and shouted: "The lead singer of our UPG band is invited to the auditorium below. Light!"< br>
When the last syllable came out, he also turned around, with a bright smile on his face, and then began his singing.
Hmm.
This grass terrace is more juicy than imagined.
How can I put it this way? He is indeed a small town rock star.
Because after leaving the small town, there is only rock and roll.
The performance on the stage was very hard, but the audience was emmm
Not so sleepy, but no one was excited, they all sat calmly, and occasionally some people leaned into the ears of their companions Next to him, he shouted loudly against the deafening music.
Obviously, the audience's desire to watch is not even one-tenth as much as the band's desire to perform on stage.
However, the band did not slack off at all, and still performed very hard and selflessly, just for the better and better effect.
It’s just that many things in the world will have results without hard work. Many times they are regrets and helplessness.
One day, I will make this stage full.
This sentence, most of the time, is just a beautiful yearning and expectation for the best self.
The stage was in full swing, but the audience was deserted.
This is the cruel and ruthless reality.
One song and it’s over!
The four-piece band stood up and bowed deeply to the audience!
The music stopped suddenly, and the few people there glanced at it and then went about their own business.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
In this unspeakable silence, this round of applause was particularly dazzling.
The four members of the UPG band looked up in surprise and saw a young man clapping with a smile.
Singing to them, singing to them, for their works, for their performances
“Thank you!”
Guang whispered, then lowered his raised head and bowed again. After a while, he stood up and continued singing forgetfully.
In this very rock and roll singing, as the night deepened, people gradually left the stage, and finally only one person was left sitting there, watching their performance and listening to their singing, until the last song stop.
All the musicians were sweating profusely and panting, but with smiles on their faces, they were genuinely happy that their performance was completed.
Moreover, there was an audience member in the audience who was still sitting there and did not leave as the night got darker.
This is a big success!
A huge success from zero to one.
The four of them put down their instruments, then stood up and walked to the bright area illuminated by the car headlights. Then they held hands and bowed together to the only audience in the audience.
Chiba Makoto did not hesitate to applaud at all, and stood up, applauding and moving forward, until he reached the stage, he said softly: "It's not very good."
This The words were unexpected, but the four of them were not angry. Instead, they looked at each other and laughed.
"We know," Guang Guang raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves, then sat down on the edge of the one-meter-high stage made of iron frames and templates, and calmly previewed , said: "My level is limited. Although I have tried hard,
For various reasons, we can only achieve this, but everyone really likes rock music, so we get together occasionally and perform to our heart's content. "
Chiba Makoto now understood why everyone was so busy on stage and off stage. The so-called concert was basically a band practice.
It was like Just like square dancing, the main thing is self-enjoyment. As for the audience, it’s better to have them. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have them.
Those who watched just now are fine. The crowd also regarded the band's practice as background music, just like turning on the radio when driving, not caring what was being broadcast, it just sounded.
For this reason, Chiba Cheng was the first to listen to them. concert, and gave the audience applause and encouragement, which gave the UPG band a great surprise
After listening to Auditorium Hikari's story, Chiba Makoto asked: "Then what does your band name mean?"
"The name of the band?"
"The meaning of this name?"
Qianye Cheng's question actually made each other look at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
It took a while before Xiang said, "It doesn't seem to mean anything."
"You should know who named that."
"It's light." Arisa Sugita raised her hand and pointed at the light in the auditorium, and then said: "Yes, I just realized that I really don't know. What’s the meaning of our band’s name?”
“Uh, this.” Auditorium Guang scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: “I forgot why. There shouldn't be any special meaning to this name, otherwise I would have remembered it."
"It should just be a casual name," Xiang said, picking up the guitar and carrying it on his back. : "Okay, it's time for me to go back. Please inform me after confirming the next practice time."
"Okay, see you later."
"See you later!"
Xiang carried the guitar on his back and waved his hands without looking back. Then he pulled off his colorful hair, stuffed it into his bag, and then put on a very uniform as he walked. The vest has the word 'security' on the back.
It’s actually a wig, it’s really a very non-mainstream rock and roll.
"He is"
"There must be someone who can support himself and work."
"Oh!"
Chiba Makoto understood immediately. If he relied solely on this band, he would have starved to death a long time ago. He must have another career that can support himself in order to support rock music. Hobby.
"So he is a night shift security guard?"
This uniform is too security-like, and it would not be like this if it were formal.
“There is an exhibition going on in town recently, and the one on display is a sapphire, so we hired a lot of temporary workers to patrol the perimeter.”
As soon as Auditorium Hikari finished speaking, Arisa Sugita continued: "I know, I know, the name is Palagi."
"Paragi gem?"
"You Do you know it too? "
". I know it very well. "Qianye Cheng is very familiar with this name, and he was also surprised when he heard it.
If it is not a coincidence, then if this gem is placed in the game, it will definitely be a main quest prop.
On the last single night, there was not much excitement. I was busy and tired, both physically and mentally. . .
