Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

On that day, Kazuo Hayakawa remembered that the album he had been looking forward to for more than half a month was finally released, and he got up early in a hurry.

When his wife Mie Komuro, who was sleeping beside him, heard the movement and opened her eyes sleeplessly. Seeing that her husband had already gotten up, she was stunned at first, then hurriedly got up, picked up the alarm clock next to her and saw that it was only six o'clock, which surprised Mie. You must know that her husband went to work at 8:30 in the morning and usually got up at 7 o'clock.

Instead of asking her husband why she got up so early, she got up while putting on a thin coat and said, "I'll cook for you."

"No need." Kazuo Hayakawa tidied up his suit and tie, looked left and right in front of the mirror, and then turned around and said.

“Not eating at home?”

"Well, I won't eat at home in the morning. Then you can make a Minako."

After Hayakawa Kazuo turned around and went out, he walked into the bathroom and started washing.

Listening to the sound of the faucet draining water, Komuro Mie rubbed her eyelids and looked at the alarm clock again. At 6:13, it was indeed only past six o'clock.

As the bathroom door was opened, Mie Komuro had no time to think about it, so she quickly walked out of the room and went outside. Looking at her husband who was picking up her briefcase and was about to go out, she quickly said, "There are still some rice balls at home. Do you want me to take them to the company to eat?"

"I'll buy it on the road myself. It's still early, so you can sleep a little longer."

Hayakawa Kazuo waved his hand and opened the door. He walked out strikingly regardless of his wife's doubtful gaze.

The weather was chilly in the morning, which made Kazuo Hayakawa, who was still sleepy, feel a little more energetic.

There were not many pedestrians on the road at around 6 o'clock, including old people who got up early and young people who didn't return all night. Kazuo Hayakawa turned a blind eye to the tram stop.

About ten minutes later, when he arrived at the tram stop, he did not wait for the tram, but walked straight to a record store next to the tram stop that had not yet opened.

After Hayakawa Kazuo greeted his boss, he took away an album tape reserved for the greeting in advance.

Looking at the word "Yan Ge" on the cover of the tape box, Kazuo Hayakawa quickly tore open the cover, took out the tape inside, took out the Walkman from the briefcase, put it in, put on the headphones, and started to listen.

When the familiar song "The Original Landscape of Hometown" slowly rang in my ears, Kazuo Hayakawa's slightly tired face had a little smile on his slightly tired face.

...

...

The neighborhood near Mitsui Hotel.

In a record store, several young people were picking tapes.

After finding his album tape, Li Yange glanced left and right. The location was pretty good. The most important thing was that there was a large promotional poster next to it. Customers could see it by walking two steps to the right as soon as they entered the door.

Cheng Shaojun, who was following behind, picked up the tape on the shelf and looked carefully. It was exactly the same as Li Yange brought yesterday. The cover was a vast field with the traditional Chinese character "Yan Ge" written in the upper right corner.

After stopping for about ten minutes, three people came in one after another. Except for one person who looked at the poster, the remaining two people went straight to other areas as soon as they entered the record store. It was obvious that they had a desire to belong.

Li Yange frowned slightly and glanced at Chen Hui beside him: "Miss Chen, go and ask the boss, how is this album sold?"

"Okay." These days, the guide, Chen Hui also knew what Li Yange's identity was. She picked up a box of albums and quickly walked towards a middle-aged man in his forties at the front desk, asking about the sales volume of the album from morning to present.

After a conversation, Chen Hui said thank you. After coming back, she said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Li, the sales may not be very good."

"It's okay, you just translate the boss's words."

"Well, the boss said that since the album was shipped in the middle of the night yesterday, only ten copies have been sold, and the sales volume is very poor. If Polygon had not requested that it must be placed in the most conspicuous position in the store today, he would have decided to move the tapes back now."

Ten pictures!

Although Li Yange had been preparing for poor sales before, I really heard that a record store with a large scale has only sold ten copies in seven or eight hours since the morning and now. You can imagine how disappointed I am.

Seeing that his face was not very good, Cheng Shaojun pursed his lips and stepped forward to comfort him, "It's okay, Yan Ge, take your time, you are a foreigner after all, so it's normal for poor sales."

Li Yange squeezed out a smile: "I'm fine. I expected the sales volume poorly before, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. Anyway, I didn't have much hope anymore, and it's not unacceptable no matter how bad it is."

He said this, but only Li Yange knew what he thought about it. He had never imagined that the record might be a big hit, but reality told him that the upset and other things had nothing to do with him.

Forget it, this time Japan assumed that it was taking Cheng Shaojun out for fun.

Without the upset expectations, Li Yange walked around without any interest in staying in the record store, and after she called the two girls to go out together.

Qianzui just returned to the hotel.

Ryuichi Sakamoto came with a man.

"Mr. Li, this is my good friend Masashi Takahashi, whose stage name is Kitaro, and he is a very famous composer in Japan."

In the hotel lobby, Ryuichi Sakamoto introduced the middle-aged man sitting next to him.

Li Yange raised his eyebrows, glanced at the middle-aged man, with a mustache on his mouth, and a little braid casually, looking sloppy. He was really Kitaro, a Japanese music master who created "The Silk Road".

Li Yange is very familiar with this Japanese music master. During college, he studied the documentary "Silk Road" produced by Kitaro for China and Japan, and created the music of the same name full of Chinese charm "Silk Road 1" and "Silk Road 2".

In 1985, Kitaro also held a concert in China. He was the first Japanese musician to perform in China. In addition, most of the music he created was full of Chinese charm, so he was considered a relatively familiar Japanese musician in China.

"Mr. Li, I have been listening to your song "Forbidden City" in the past few days. The writing is really great. If I could hear your song before, I think "Silk Road" could be more perfect."

After the two greeted each other, Kitaro was amazed at Li Yange. He had heard Ryuichi Sakamoto mention Li Yange's name many times before, and he became curious about the song "Forbidden City", but Ryuichi Sakamoto did not have a tape in his hand and had no chance.

It was not until a few days ago that Ryuichi Sakamoto got the original soundtrack from director Bettorucci, and then he gave it to Kitaro. Then he heard the song "Forbidden City" that Ryuichi Sakamoto praised and called it the sound of gloriousness.
