I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 58: The struggle of ordinary people

Chapter 251 The struggle of ordinary people

He Ma knows that on the Japanese side, artists rely heavily on connections for food.

Japanese writers and artists have a common characteristic: high status, but not necessarily how much money to make.

Often their greatest value is as the "glue" of the upper class.

A lot of times their works are sold at good prices, and there is a black box in the middle. For example, someone bought a painting of me at a high price, and then I helped him find a way to get acquainted with the so-and-so member and play golf together.

"Detective Conan" and the game "Persona 5" both have the old painter Jiang Langcai occupying the works of his disciples. This kind of bridge does exist in the Japanese art world, but there are not many, mainly in scientific research. Especially in medical research.

This is because a well-known old Japanese artist doesn't really have to produce good works. He draws **** like shit, and some people tout it and some people buy it.

The Japanese art world has formed an internal cycle, where artists produce works and critics are responsible for guiding the general public to "appreciate" the works.

After a certain amount of so-called popularity among the general public, artists gain status and connections, which in turn translate into money.

A lot of wonderful "works" have been produced under this mechanism.

Actually, I feel that China's art world has also begun to "have an inner taste". Art is becoming more and more incomprehensible, and all kinds of exaggerated performances by masters have become the laughing stock on the Internet.

However, the Chinese class has not yet solidified, and there is no stable upper-class society like Japan, so the status of the masters is not very stable.

All in all, in Japan, artists pay special attention to the management of human connections and the relationship with critics.

However, no matter how much you pay attention to your connections, you won't easily go to a public high school to perform on stage.

The chairman was able to directly pull three artists to give him a platform, and he was the one who decided to participate in the beauty pageant today before shaking...

No, even if the chairman wanted to participate in the beauty pageant before and shake people in advance, it is very powerful to shake a guy of this level to the stage of the high school cultural festival.

He Ma looked at the three, obviously the most diligent in Noh, probably because Noh really didn't have many fans, and it all depended on the so-called professional touts to maintain its status.

As for shamisen and shakuhachi, if they are highly skilled, there are still many people in the general public who buy it. After all, the general public cannot appreciate Noh dramas, but they still know whether the music is good or not.

Jinguji Tamamo is holding a drumstick and seems to be making final preparations.

Chiyoko complained: "It's not good to play a tuba in a kimono, but it doesn't feel right to play drums in a kimono, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Danzi, just like what she had predicted to Hema, flipped her arm and pulled her kimono, lifting the left shoulder of the kimono, exposing half of her shoulder.

She had already wrapped her **** tightly with a breast wrap, and she was not given any benefits.

But with her posture, she has the aura of a heroine going into battle, as if she is about to pull out her naginata and slash a few short-eyed Isakos.

Chiyoko: "Okay, it's all right now, and the temperament matches. It's just like Zhang Fei who drummed up Guan Yu to kill Huaxiong in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms."

When the Japanese say the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they refer to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This is a translation problem. The full name of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the popular interpretation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. When Japan translated the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the first three characters were used as the title of the book.

"You actually know the Three Kingdoms?" He Ma asked in surprise.

"The comics I read, because recently, bro, you always speak Chinese idioms and so on. I am also a little interested in China. I saw this comic when I was shopping for food, and I stood and flipped through it in the bookstore." /

"The old lady in the bookstore didn't chase you?"

"I won't rush, I'm very popular in the shopping street."

He Ma scratched his head and turned his eyes back to the stage.

The chairman is already in a drumming stance, then nods to the accompanist.

Then she started knocking.

There are many sizes of taiko drums. This time, she beat the largest size, and the sound can be transmitted throughout the playground without the use of microphones and speakers.

It's a very spirited drum.

The opening begins with a dense and rapid snare drum beat, which is usually played by the sub-player with the snare drum, but Jinguji directly hits the edge of the big drum with a drum stick.

The shakuhachi performer Inoue famously played the melodious melody along with the drums.

Kawama's impression of Taiko music comes from the game "Taiko Master", and he doesn't know a few serious Taiko songs.

He listened to this shakuhachi melody in vain, and he couldn't recognize it at all.

At the same time as the voice of shakuhachi gradually fell, the Noh dramatist Hibuka roared: "Yo~~~"

This thousand-and-a-half "yo" perfectly fits many people's stereotypes about Noh dramas.

The end of this sound means that the "foreplay" of the Taiko performance ends here, and the main film begins.

Jinguji Temple suddenly burst into force, playing a powerful drumbeat.

And the shamisen joins in at this time, taking over the rhythm instrument part from the fine drum beat just now.

Yes, the shamisen went straight to the rhythm instrument, which is usually a bass job.

The big drum is the protagonist of this performance.

Drums are worthy of being a musical instrument born for war. Compared with the drum beats that Jinguji Temple beats now, the tunes in Taiko Master are simply a mess.

It's a serious taiko song if you want to kill people after listening to it.

Shakuhachi joined in at the right time, but it did not overwhelm the guest, but rhythmically blowing out fixed syllables.

The shakuhachi is basically used as a rhythm instrument.

Everything exists to complement the taiko drum.

As it entered the climax, the Wind Band Orchestra led by Consultant Yokoyama finally joined in, and the atmospheric strings echoed the war drums.

He Ma doesn't want to kill people now, he wants to ride on a steed and lead an army to charge.

It's just the extent of the swordsman slashing people, it's a waste to use this drum to buff.

From the point of view of adding BUFF, this is the breaking song of buffing the whole army before the battle.

Jinguji Temple bares half of her shoulders, and every time she hits the drum face, sweat is thrown from her shoulders.

She was full of high-spirited beauty at this time.

He felt the same way with Chiyoko next to the horse, and whispered: "As expected of an egg, the drums are so beautiful."

The climax part gradually moved towards making a living, and the drum beat gradually returned to its original light and fine-tuned state, and then the shakuhachi took over the control of the song, and the shamisen began to come alive.

It feels like after the war, the warriors left the field, and the people began to clean the battlefield. The monk leaning on a tin stick recited the Buddhist scriptures to save the souls of the dead on the battlefield.

The samurai sword of the war dead was stuck upside down in the ground, and a fragment of the cloak was tangled by the wind on the handle of the sword, fluttering like a flag, like the soul of the war dead who was reluctant to leave for a long time.

Finally, the music came to an abrupt end after the Noh dramatist Hibuka's "yo" sounded over and over again.

Jinguji Tamamo changed the drumsticks to one hand, turned around and bowed to everyone in the audience.

The people she invited all stood up and bowed to the audience together.

The people who were stunned at this time remembered that they should applaud.

Thundering applause resounded throughout the playground.

Jinguji Temple walked off the stage in the applause, pulling off the rope tied to the water sleeves while walking - this kind of state will be tied into a state where the knot can be pulled open with a single pull, but it must be ensured when doing work. It won't spread out and let the water sleeve stick to the dirty things.

After the entire team from the chairman had left the stage, the vice-chairman stepped on the stage and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Jinguji-senpai really gave us a big surprise. Only then did I know that the Taiko was playing. It can also sound so good, probably because Jinguji-senpai shows half of her incense shoulders?"

He Ma couldn't help frowning. Jingu Temple had just wrapped the chest cloth so thickly that it didn't show any spring light.

Her posture is so heroic that it would be blasphemous to make such a dirty joke.

This guy is typical. He treats obscenity as humor. He Ma instantly has a greasy middle-aged uncle's impression of the vice president.

And Ma once again confirmed that this kind of guy probably can't catch up with Japanese cuisine, and the rank is different.

You can get a goddess or something just by talking about pornographic jokes. How can such a thing happen.

"We have the next contestant!" the vice president shouted, and then a member of the student council executive department took the stage and whispered something to him.

"Uh, what happened just now, the next contestant abstained. Jinguji-senpai is so terrifying! She even scare people away. Then let us invite the next contestant..."

While speaking, Nichinan Rica took to the stage again. This time, she changed a set of clothes into a whole dress, completely replaced by the eldest lady who went out for a summer outing.

"Hey, President, how are you..."

"I'll perform in place of the abstaining."

"Hey, is that okay?"

"Of course I can, I'm the student council president, I can say yes." Nichinan Li Cai said without hesitation.

Some students in the audience began to boo: "President, this is an abuse of power!"

"Yes, this will give you a glimpse of the real world earlier." Niinan Licai waited for a while, and then continued, "The real world is like this, it is reliable The power of the family has reached a height that you can't reach all of a sudden, there are guys who abused their power to suppress you, get used to it sooner, and suffer less."

He Ma thought to himself, this is 1980, eldest sister. A few years ago, students were throwing Molotov cocktails on the street. Are you not afraid that after saying this, the students will be revolted, and then they will do something terrible?

Of course, it is also possible that Niinan Ricai lifts her skirt and undresses with one button, revealing the red apron and sickle and hammer below, shouting "Follow me with the gun in hand".

"Music." Niinan Licai made a gesture to the following regardless of the vice president who was still on stage.

The vice-chairman slipped off the stage wisely, leaving the entire stage to Nichinan Rica.

The prelude sounded, this time it was an old song familiar to Ma.

He Ma suddenly realized that he had heard a lot of old songs from the Showa era. He was obviously only a 30-year-old spiritual boy in his last life. He was not born when many Showa songs were popular in the mainland.

Rina Nichinami sings the famous song "The Autumn Period", which was released as a single two years ago. The singer is the famous Showa idol Hiromi Iwasaki.

This song celebrates youth in high school. The lyrics and Ma feel are quite straightforward, such as the chorus "Youth is a fragile thing, no matter how much you love it or get hurt."

This song also mentions graduation and separation, so Chiyoko next to Kazuma gave him a puzzled look: "Have you made a move?"

"No." He Ma shook his head, "She just chose a hit song."

"Is that so?" Chiyoko stared at Kazuma suspiciously, "Forget it, I would welcome one more student to pay tuition."

"No, just say I didn't take action. Don't smear people's innocence out of thin air."

"However, Nichinan-senpai works so hard, she probably won't be able to beat the egg. That's too impactful." Chiyoko commented.

Similar to Ma thought the same, but at this time he saw the members of the student council executive department go around from below the stage to the front of the stage, placing something on the front edge of the stage.

Hey, is there a secret plan?

He Ma suddenly remembered that Niinan Licai was going to show off his swimsuit. It stands to reason that only the talent show can be shown, because this kind of high school beauty pageant consists of two parts: self-introduction and talent show, and then it's time to vote.

It's obviously not appropriate to introduce myself in a swimsuit.

While Kazuma was speculating about Nichinan's intentions, Nichinan Licai finished singing the chorus for the second time, and there was an interlude.

At this moment, a large amount of white mist spewed out of the device that was set up by the executives of the student council just now.

He Ma was speechless: "Is it actually dry ice to make fog? It's really yours."

The white fog engulfed Nichinan Rica's figure, but the fog rises and dissipates quickly, especially in such an open-air scene with natural wind.

When the fog dissipated, everyone saw Niinan Rica finish the last step of taking off her dress and toss it aside.

It turns out that she changed her dress not only to change her image, but also to quickly undress.

Nichinan Li Cai is dressed in a bikini, and the graceful curves are perfectly highlighted.

The boys in the audience cheered.

Chiyoko said while eating the wafers: "This time it's different. Boys will vote for Nichinan-senpai."

"No, I won't," said He Ma.

"Brother, you are a man, not a boy."

No, I can't refute it, although Kazuma is still a virgin in this life.

Nichinan was wearing a bikini like this, and after the interlude, finished the last chorus.

She then bowed to everyone: "Thank you for your appreciation."

Because it's a bikini, gravity is clearly reflected when bowing.

There was an "oh" sound in the playground.

He Ma suddenly remembered the conversation between Nianna Rica and herself. She said that the agent told her that girls should go up in this industry, and it would be much easier to sell their looks.

Could it be that Nichinan gave up the idea of ​​using a bikini at first, and only planned to decide the outcome in an upright manner? After all, the hot pants and T-shirt just now have to be taken off, not as fast as a one-touch dress.

But because Jinguji put a big move, Nichinan had to sacrifice a bikini?

Will her life change because of Jinguji, causing her to change from a pure **** to a real bus that is willing to "operate with pillows" for the sake of superiority?

No~IndoMTL.com~ I'll have to get her out later.

After all, Kiryu and Ma are the morning stars, the first ray of light to illuminate the long night, the beacon, the helmsman, and the holy moonlight that guides the way forward.

He Ma watched off the stage with Nichinan cuisine.

Then the vice president took the stage again: "Really, it's amazing, I would like to go back to President Ninan for the rest of my life.

"The next thing I want to announce is that due to the unconventional performance of Jinguji-senpai and President Nichinan, all the other non-third-year players have withdrawn from the competition, and only Jinguji-senpai is left to learn Sister Nanjo Honami and Fujii Mikako, who are both in the third grade, we have already confirmed that the two seniors will be on stage together! Let us look forward to the table that you two bring us..."

The vice-chairman's eyes were attracted by the servant of the Nanjo family who came to the stage with the piano, and his words were interrupted.

And the horse held the forehead again.

You two ladies, you... actually had a good time, didn't you?
