Reincarnation Band Magician

"That kid broke before he even made his official debut, so I figured I'd at least let him shine once."

"So passionate."

And Su Shi felt that psychedelic similarity again.

[It used to be the same model as mine...]

Hong Xia would consider everyone's feelings and looked at the silent girl. "Ms. Su Shi also plays bass. You two siblings are amazing. You've added two new bands to the world."

"Maybe there are more than two, after all, the band—"

Qing covered Liang's mouth in time.

He knew that his sister was still obsessed with the 3C band. It would be fine if they disbanded normally, but that was obviously not the case.

"This is considered indecent assault. You have to treat me to dinner tonight."

"Good good..."

Su Shi held the piano bag in her arms and said what she felt just now, "My brother's piano is the same as mine."

For most things, the recognition brought by the “same style” will give people a special feeling. At least for now, Nagasaki Suyo feels very happy.

Hong Xia changed the subject at the right time, "You two look like twins. Hey, did you wear the same clothes before? Do you have any photos?"

"puff."

Liang looked at the brother and sister with strange eyes and laughed, probably because he thought of the little skirt that was unique to most little boys.

——When Qingzhen was a child, he was once seduced by his lively mother and was unable to refute her for a while.

"My brother is from my aunt's family," Su Shi explained softly, gently touching her nails, "so there is no such time, what a pity."

Miss Drummer didn't let the topic cool down and continued, "If the mothers are sisters, they will inherit more of their mother's genes, and sometimes cousins ​​will look very similar."

But it will be cool.

She pointed to the clothing store across the street and said, "Actually, there's an opportunity now."

Su Shi's smile froze. She had never seen such a person before. "No...how can I put it..."

Good children don't want to see people around them embarrassed.

Qing quickly pressed her hand down to prevent his mother from coming back and seeing it. He would be embarrassed if she made a fuss.

Hong Xia then covered the man's mouth, and now they worked together like a criminal gang.

The topic ended here, and they began to follow the chaotic music to find the wandering Nagasaki mother.

Miss Su Shi walked behind, feeling the weight of the instrument bag and looking at the long brown hair swaying in front of her.

[No matter what, my brother is still my brother...]

"Nissan, are you going to Shimokita tonight? Can I go and see it?"

"welcome any time."

The advantage of a small place is that if you want to go to any familiar place nearby, you can get there within an hour, whether it is Roppongi, Ikebukuro or Shimokitazawa.

Of course, weirdos like Goto, who lives in Yokohama but wants to study here, are not within the scope of discussion.

Speaking of the past, Qing dug out his shopping list from yesterday in his mind.

Su Shi began to wonder how long Auntie and Aunt Ruisui could stay. She had gotten used to the lively atmosphere now, and the thought of going back to the empty feeling of the past made her feel uncomfortable.

Qing was also thinking about this question. "By the way, Su Shi, my mother might have to be disturbed for about two weeks. Is that okay?"

"Two weeks—my family is always free!"

"Well, because of some things, Mom wants to relax for a while, but she still has to live a formal life... Don't worry, Tokyo is so small, no matter where she goes, Su Shi can come and play."

Hong Xia joined in the conversation, "Or sometimes it's good to keep a distance. For example, if Liang were in my house, I would kick her out in less than a week."

"So I can stay here for free for a week?"

"impossible."

Su Shi stroked the hair on her temples, temporarily escaping from her anxiety.

……

Going up to the third floor, the prices of musical instruments here are much higher, and the display and storage environment are obviously better.

"this is--"

Liang began to talk about his love for some of the instruments.

Qing moved closer to her mother.

"That lady," the shop assistant came over, "everyone gets the hang of the instrument very quickly. If only they had gotten started earlier..."

If I had joined the band earlier, I might have achieved great success.

The clerk couldn't help but think so.

But looking at the older woman strumming her bass, she easily felt the pure joy and liveliness.

“If I had been exposed to it earlier, I would have been able to enjoy music earlier, but it’s not too late now.”

"That's right, this is really fun to play!"

Ms. Nagasaki switched back to her guitar, churning out wondrous sounds, reveling in the sheer joy of sound and vibration.

In this era of big bands, music theory is as common as compulsory education, and after reincarnation, Ms. Nagasaki also has a buff that increases the speed of learning an instrument - so it is a slightly more orderly noise.

"Clang! How about my C chord?"

After a somewhat unpracticed attempt at following the instructions on the wall, Ms. Yukari was very pleased with the new voice, "Xiaoqing, do you want to come with us?"

Qing's partner was checking and debugging the machine before selling it, but he didn't want to refuse. "Um... Soyo, can you lend me yours?"

"Ah good!"

Su Shi took off the lemon-scented instrument bag and handed it to her brother. The clerk moved the necessary equipment in a timely and orderly manner, which was enough to handle a performance similar to a street performance.

There were other selectors in the store, some were beginners, some were experienced, and they were all interested in this wonderful combination.

Did you ever play rock music with your mom?

"Mom...just be a little more even, I'll keep up."

"OK!"

The mother and son who had transcended death began a lively performance.

It's really lively. A blue-haired bassist who wishes to remain anonymous commented: The bass and guitar are like a mother holding her kindergarten child back from running around.

Putting aside the professionalism, this is a performance that can bring joy to people.

A short break on the journey: 259, you go live together

The response to the “performance” was very good.

At least 80% of laymen cannot tell the difference between a novice who has learned a song in a week and someone who has practiced for several years, and their appreciation ability is limited.

Ms. Nagasaki's playing was messy, but it was "wrapped" by the clear bass sound, giving it a childlike feeling, which brought everyone the feeling of first contact with the instrument, so no matter whether new or old, no one would be strict at this time.

Liang and Hongxia left after shopping for a while. The archangel lamented that he was of little help because they chose too quickly.

I thought Ms. Nagasaki would be troubled for a while, but she wasn't. Mizuho also chose the drum she liked and went home early. Everyone was very happy.

Or perhaps it was the band members' unique "feeling" that allowed them to choose their favorite partners at first sight, so there was no need for them to give any suggestions.

However, Qing rarely spoils the fun, so he invited them to hold a "My new gear" celebration in the evening to welcome the new bass.

When band members get new equipment, they usually post a message like "＃my new gear【图片】【图片】". Initially, it was to show off and exchange usage experiences with fellow enthusiasts, but later it became a means of gaining traffic.

As an introvert who only looks but doesn't talk online, Qing prefers to celebrate offline with friends rather than posting on Instagram.

Liang naturally agreed immediately, and Hongxia also joined in the fun because she lived nearby.

How close exactly?

Yesterday at noon, Qing came out from upstairs and greeted Miss Hongxia on the balcony over there, and she could hear it.

Just one building away.

"Qing hasn't even formed a band yet, but he's already picked up the bad habit of band members celebrating randomly. You have to be more careful next time. But this time we really want to celebrate formally. My sister and I will go and bring some food."

We moved in such a hurry yesterday that we didn't prepare any gifts, so this is a good opportunity to make up for it.

"Well, okay, see you tonight then."

"see you then."

"I'll be grateful and keep my stomach full."

Those two left first.

Qing is also planning to go shopping for daily necessities after sending her mother back.

……

"Dongta Dongta..."

The scenery outside the window keeps changing.

Qing sat with her mother, opposite Miss Su Shi who had a smile on her face.

After getting on the tram, Ms. Nagasaki was very quiet. After two or three stops, she finally came to her senses.

"Are you a little ashamed?"

Ms. Nagasaki, who had the self-awareness of an adult, rubbed her face in embarrassment.

She was also a little concerned about the looks of others on the tram. She covered her bag and said, "You're still playing musical instruments at this age."

"It's never too late, Mom, to do what makes you happy."

"Even so, you played it badly just now, didn't you?"

"No, everyone was very happy. As a performance, it was a success. Playing in a band is not just about music sometimes."

"Give me more compliments!"

"it is good……"

After complimenting her mother for a while, Qing looked at the bag in her arms. Inside was a Fender Custom Shop 60. Yukari felt that this one was more comfortable to hold, and it was the same sunset color as Qing's.

"Have you decided on guitar?"

"Well, I think the sound of this is pretty good, but I'm a little worried about whether I can learn it well, so I took it first and made up my mind. Now, I still feel that if I had learned it 20, no, 10 years earlier..."

Qing thought of the grocery store manager.

"If I start playing now, in five years I can say I've been playing guitar for five years, but if I give up, I'll say, 'I wish I had learned guitar 15 years ago.'"

Regrets accumulate over time and become more and more regretful.

Sometimes I think it’s a good thing that the old store manager has dementia, so he doesn’t have to suffer the punishment of guilt and emptiness.

"Thanks, Qing, but Mom, I'm full of energy now!"

Feeling her child's growth, Nagasaki Yukari held the instrument bag and felt emotional.

She had just saved her life and felt like she could never squander it all.

"Qing is going to Shimokitazawa tonight. Mom is going to play with your Aunt Mizuho today, so I'll go check out your room next time...Speaking of which, does Su Shi want to come along?"

"Eh?"

Miss Su Shi came back to her senses from her recent contemplation.

When I saw my cousin and aunt playing together, I couldn’t help but think of myself and my mother. At that time, I clearly realized the difference between my mother and my aunt.

Although my mother seems a little lazy at home, she is very capable outside. I can’t imagine that she is the same as my aunt.

Or... could it be that my mother is also like that?

She responded, "Can I?"

"Little Sushi has been in a band before. If she's more confident, she's definitely much better than us. You can also teach your mom how to play bass so we can have fun together."

"Mom...she rarely has time to rest. She must be a little tired from learning this."

“Soyo,” Yukari looked into her eyes, “Just think of this as playing. Mother Soyo will be happy that you can play with your child.
