Chapter 75: Chapter 74: Acting (Part 2)
In the corner, Alice was stunned.
He watched Takumi on stage. The piano he played was clearly the same melody. The first time it was pretty good, and now it was amazing. He had helped many stars, but the skills Takumi demonstrated were comparable to those live performances that had been tempered.
"Turns out he's never been serious..."
Alice muttered to herself. 'She and Hirano-sensei had been amazed countless times by Takumi's talent. However, if Hirano-sensei were to see Takumi's performance today, he would certainly jump in surprise.'
'It turned out that Takumi had been saving strength while practicing the piano. So how could I play with such intensity?' Alice looked away at the brighter lights and saw the figure of the girl holding the microphone. Suddenly, he understood, "He wants to use a better piano sound to match Shiori."
"How lucky this girl is!"
Alice sighed to herself. Almost at the same time, the piano prelude came to an end and Shiori's voice sounded.
...
If I could hold your hand tightly again, I wouldn't let go easily.
Spring flowers fall and leaves fly over the branches. The Bottom Line
Wait for the promises I once made.
The past stirs in my heart
...
"Time, After, Time" is a sad and lyrical song. Its rhythm sounds slow, but it is sung very fast. Shiori's voice is very piercing. In the crisp, pure sound of Takumi's piano, his singing emanates a kind of sentimentality and nostalgia.
This is a song full of fantasy, and the lyrics clash with the souls of the fans. It's like a sweet flame, echoing and burning in the crowd. The song seems to float in the memory and transport them to a fantasy world.
Conan, Ran, Kid... The characters in Detective Conan seem to come to life. They go through the minds of fans one by one, but no one tells them what this song is about, or if it is about the whole manga, many relatives who face each other and sad crimes.
The fixed concepts of the past gradually dissipated, and sensitive fans shed tears.
"What a beautiful song, what a sad song... It turns out that Detective Conan can be seen from this perspective. It's not just a detective manga, but also a story that reflects the helplessness of life and the fickleness of fate."
"Does Mirai-sensei want to express these ideas?"
Some fans have a new vision of Mirai-sensei and admire him even more deeply. And more fans are immersed in the song. Some hold their breath and blush, others pick up their phones and forget to turn on the camera, and others look at the two young men on stage with great enthusiasm.
Perfect singing, elegant, amazing, really amazing performance, as if there were only those two people in the world.
Shiori's roommates hid behind the scenes and watched with faces full of excitement.
"Great, amazing, like a concert!"
"It's their first performance and the collaboration is great!"
Backstage, dozens of women from the Older Sisters Alliance almost cried at the hearing of it.
"Oh, sisters, we have lost a lot!"
Akari was kicking the ground and screaming nonstop. Compared to this performance, the effect of his was negligible. Not only did they have to dance with all their might, but they also had to be exploited by others. It was a thankless job. If they had known
before, they should have let Takumi and Shiori perform.
"Why didn't it occur to me to let them rehearse first!" exclaimed Akari, regretful. 'If they had rehearsed, they would not have missed this opportunity.'
Not only the Alliance of Elder Sisters, but also the men Shiori had scared off to the side of the stage were stunned.
"Hui-san, can you play this song?"
A man asked, and the man named Hui-san glared at him.
"I don't know how to play a fart, that guy at least has a professional level!"
He was stunned. "I definitely couldn't play the same song as Takumi. The boy had a lot more skill with the piano than he did.'
He wanted to keep laughing at the boy, but now he was breaking out in a cold sweat at the thought. 'Luckily, he didn't keep bothering him, if not, it would be a great embarrassment.'
"You said there are no levels. Where did this outstanding student come from? How come I hadn't heard it before!" the man complained, almost biting his tongue. He looked back at the girl standing on the stage; His gaze changed from fear to longing.
"Turns out he was helping us just now!" she said. 'It was obvious that the boy was half pig-eating tiger, waiting for me to bring his face close and beat him up.'
'Luckily, the girl saved him. Thinking about it, the man felt embarrassed. He had simply called it a monster and a tyrannosaurus rex. Now it seems that he misunderstood it. She tried to apologize: "What a kind girl, she's just a goddess!"'
Under the stage, the two disguised reporters could not calm down either.
"Hey, hey!" One of them tugged at his partner's clothes, fascinated by music, several times before he came back to life.
"What do you do? I'm enjoying it!"
"I said that's not right. It may not be the goal." The reporter who pulled the clothes smiled bitterly: "How can a person be good at so many things? We may have misunderstood it. He's probably a musical genius."
"So, he and that woman are really related?"
"It's possible. Anyway, my reasoning tells me that no sixteen-year-old boy can do that much... He is runner-up in the high school entrance exam and a musical genius. Thinking about it like this, this guy should be an outstanding student. How can it be related to manga?"
"It seems true, but if it's not him, who could it be...? I just found out that Mirai-sensei is here."
The two reporters' suspicion of Takumi diminished. The clues in front of them were lost. A reporter frowned and looked around. His gaze went to the corner and he saw Conan in the corner, bent over and writing on a card.
"He..."
"He's just a staff member."
Before he could ask, his companion said:
"It seems to be..."
The reporter frowned slightly. He always felt strange, but he didn't care too much, because the performance on stage reached its climax, and the two were drawn back to the voice.
"Let's not look for it for now. I want to hear the whole song. That voice is beautiful!"
"Superficial, why listen to the voice? The piano performance is superb. They say that the composer of this song is that boy named Takumi. I assure you that this guy will undoubtedly be a great musician in the future, do you think so?"
"Gee, if you say so, that girl is so beautiful that she will undoubtedly be a big star in the future!"
"There are a lot of people who sing and are beautiful, but those who compose and play the piano are amazing."
"Shall we take a chance?"
"Let's take a risk, we will take a risk when we return. Don't argue now, let's record the performance quickly; If they become famous in the future, this information will be valuable!"
