Let me see your shine!

"Food Spirit Zero" will start filming in March, and they will be able to train for more than a month, so their acting skills should be good enough by then.

Anyway, it's a true-to-life performance, so the difficulty will be much lower.

Seeing that they were able to finish filming "The Visible Girl" in a short period of time, he believed that they could do it too.

After dealing with these, Youren no longer has to worry about them for the time being.

He handed the music part to Xiangzi and concentrated on studying the script with Liuhua. Occasionally, Akane would come to join the discussion.

Time passed by little by little, and January was almost over.

There has been no news about Youren for many days, and no one knows whether he has invited Mai to come out of retirement, and the outside world's enthusiasm has also dropped a lot.

"So it's almost time to live again."

He decided to upload "Even though we have nothing in our hands."

As for this song, he originally planned to release it when the company's popularity declined, and now is the time to use it.

Yuto posted a three-day countdown tweet for the new song on Twitter.

After a while, Qianze, who was staying at the company, ran in and said:

"Boss, is your song going to be released?"

"Yes."

"Great! I'm eager to see what others think of it soon."

This was her first time participating in the production of a musical work, so she seemed particularly excited.

Youren said, "If the response is good, I'll treat you to a feast."

"Great!"

Chise walked out of the office happily.

Yuto didn't pay much attention to this matter and started looking for suitable actors.

Three days passed quickly.

At 1 o'clock in the evening, "Even though we have nothing in our hands" will be launched on A network on time.

Yuto's long-awaited fans spoke out before they even saw the video:

"Finally, I'm waiting for Yuto-kun's new song!"

"Although the previous cover was also very nice, I really want to hear the new song."

"I'm coming!"

"By the way, who is that Iwata Mahiru? Why is she singing a duet with Yuto-kun?"

"I know her. She also had a cameo in 'The Visible Girl'. She was a student of Shengxiang."

"I see, you're a student of Seihō... By the way, what is Seihō?"

"A school that trains stage actors. It seems to be quite famous."

"Stage? I've never seen one."

"Alright, listen first."

Fans clicked on the video one after another.

at the same time……

Hey.

The phone vibrated on the table, alerting the owner of incoming news.

Saito Koichi, who was working, took a moment to take a look.

It was a notification:

"A1.com: The movie 'Even Though We Have Nothing' that you ordered is now online."

"Oh, yes. I made a reservation for Qin Youren's new song...ah, it's already this late?"

Saito looked out the window. It was already dark and light snow was falling.

Most of my colleagues around me have left, and the rest are preparing to leave.

A colleague whose name he had forgotten said politely:

"Saito-san, I'm leaving now. Please lock the door today."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Thanks for your hard work."

The colleague left the office.

“…Also, huh?”

Saito muttered to himself, put down his phone, and instead of listening to the new song, immersed himself in his work.

Time passed slowly, and it was ten o'clock.

Exhausted, he left the deserted company.

As soon as he left the company, a cold wind blew, making him shiver.

Saito tightened his clothes and whispered:

"It's so late, Kaori-san should have eaten already, right?"

He braved the cold wind and snow to walk to the tram station, waiting for the train which, unlike in Tokyo, came only after a long time.

Koichi Saito originally worked in Tokyo and lived an ordinary and happy life with his wife Kaori.

They met in college, got married shortly after graduation, and the wife soon became pregnant.

It can be said that they have a happy family, which is the envy of others.

...But misfortune always comes suddenly.

Kaori's child was ultimately not born.

Since then, Saito's life took a big turn, and his wife has been unable to get over it. She often hides in the room in a daze, and occasionally stays in the baby's room and rocks the baby in silence.

After a while, Saito took her away from the depressing Tokyo and went to the countryside to work and recuperate.

But his wife's condition did not improve. He gradually couldn't stand the atmosphere at home and devoted his energy to work, coming home very late every day.

He chose to numb himself with work.

Working until he has no energy to worry and going home with an empty head is the happiest time of his day.

...Tolstoy once said in "Anna Karenina" that happy families are all alike, but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

Saito thought to himself with self-mockery: If this is true, then his family should be stuck in the middle, neither up nor down.

Happiness is ordinary, and misfortune is commonplace.

"What a boring life..."

At this time, the tram arrived at the station, he walked in, and sat down in the carriage where he was the only passenger.

He was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered that he had reserved a new song, so he took out his mobile phone and opened A1 website.

He casually put on his headphones and took a look at the data before listening to the music.

The current click-through rate is...

"Thirty million?"

so tall?

Saito was secretly surprised and clicked on the song without reading the comments.

The music played slowly, and a hand-painted MV appeared before my eyes...

61 Starting Over

When Saito clicked on the MV of "Even though we have nothing in our hands", the first thing he saw was the blue sky and white clouds.

Then a small house standing on the hillside appeared in front of us.

“The painting style is nice.”

As Saito was thinking this, a gentle female voice sounded:

"I have a gift for you

It was a lonely night

There will still be stars shining brightly in the distance."

The MV slowly begins, and Saito sees the mother sheep lying on the bed in the hut.

She heard the postman knocking on the door, so she stood up and threw the knitting needles on the floor onto the door. Then she looked at the end of the bed and saw the phantom of a lamb.

The mother sheep lifted the quilt to cover her face and lay back on the bed.

“…Though I was ostracized, though I could not achieve

But still struggling, still believing

Still moving forward with head held high.”

In the sky outside the cottage, the lamb peeked out from the clouds and looked at its mother on the ground.

"This is……"

Saito couldn't help but sit up straight, thinking about his own situation, and immersed himself in the story of the MV.

“Even though we have nothing in our hands, we are still able to hold each other tightly.”

The lambs are queuing up on the clouds and crossing the river under the command of the wolf demon. The sheep that cross the river will grow halos and wings, and then they should go to heaven.

"When you are alone, please don't be lost, because I will never let go..."

When the new deceased came behind the lamb, he looked around and took the razor from the sheep woman in front of him and hid behind a pile of clouds on the side.

"I have a gift for you..."

The lamb shaved off its wool and began to weave a rope, trying to get down to the ground and see its mother again.

When the wolf demon was checking the situation, he would pretend to queue up, and when the wolf demon was not around, he would continue to braid the rope.

"...But I have already realized that with you by my side

What I want to protect makes me stronger."

When the lamb was halfway through weaving the rope, he fell asleep. When he woke up, he found that the rope was already woven.

The lamb climbed back to the ground with difficulty along the rope with white ends and black in the middle under the cold wind, passed through the closed door, and lay on the mother sheep affectionately, waving his hands, trying to attract her attention.

"This blurry world

I will use these hands to embellish it with colorful colors..."

"Kaori-san."

Saito held his cell phone, thought of his wife and his deceased child, and sat on the tram, tears falling uncontrollably.

The wolf demon brought the lamb back to heaven, and Yuto and Mahiru's duet reached their ears:

“Even if I don’t get recognition from others

Even if you don't have a decent status

Our little hands must also

Bring a smile to someone tomorrow."

The mother sheep patted her belly, recalled her life with the lamb, took out a half-knitted sweater from under the bed, and continued to finish it.

Saito also recalled his past with his wife:

[…Koichi-san, I’m pregnant.]
