Chapter 144: Charity Concert
"Imperial Palace?" Miss Luo Quan was stunned. Isn't that where the Emperor of Japan lives?
"May I ask what is the matter?" Miss Luo Quan asked.
"It is like this. A month later, the government will hold a charity concert to commemorate the 3.11 earthquake. At that time, we will definitely invite you to perform. What we want is for you and His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince to perform on stage together."
Miss Luo Quan was puzzled, "But I have always sung alone before."
"You are now the goddess in the hearts of the Japanese people, and His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince is also very popular among the people. If the two of you can perform on stage together, you will definitely be able to raise a lot of donations for this concert. The civilians who suffered because of the earthquake will definitely thank you."
This Maeda Keinosuke also calculated Miss Luo Quan's character of eating soft but not hard, and kept persuading her with good words, without any intention of using his privileged status to force her.
Since it had come to this, refusing again would make her seem ignorant.
"If it is something good for the disaster victims, I can agree."
"Then the matter of practice and rehearsal will be left to you and His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince to handle yourselves. Please take care of this!" After speaking, Maeda Keinosuke hung up the phone.
Just after hanging up, another call came in..
"What is it?"
"Hello, Miss Luo Quan-san, I am the director of NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation, equivalent to CCTV), you can call me Yamanaka Ippei."
"Hello, Mr. Yamanaka, are you calling to invite me to participate in the 3.11 charity concert?"
"You knew?"
"Just now, Mr. Maeda from the Imperial Palace has already notified me."
"Ah, then this call of mine was a bit redundant………… By the way, have you decided what song to sing with His Highness Jinggong?"
"A charity concert can't have a love song duet, right?" Miss Luo Quan laughed, "Just sing 'Don't Give Up,' no problem, right?"
"Of course no problem. This is your most popular work in Japan. Then it is decided. I will send the subsequent information about the concert to your mailbox as soon as possible. Please pay attention to check it."
I don't know if Miss Luo Quan thought too much, but she always felt that there was something wrong behind this matter.
But thinking carefully, there is actually nothing inappropriate. A charity concert, inviting two very popular young people to perform on stage is the most normal thing, but the identity of Jinggong Jinggong Ya Zuo made her a bit sensitive.
Not thinking too much, Miss Luo Quan, who was tired for a day, went to sleep early, but the news that she was going to perform on the same stage with Jinggong Jinggong Ya Zuo on Twitter soon became known to everyone.
This charity concert was funded by the Japanese government and planned and held by NHK. All first- and second-tier stars in Japan would be invited to participate. The purpose was to commemorate the civilians who died in 3.11 and also to raise funds for the victims of the earthquake a while ago.
There are two ways to donate: one is to buy concert tickets to support, and the other is to scan the code to donate online.
The stars invited this time participated without pay, and all income was counted as raised donations, which could be considered one of the few human things the Japanese government had done in recent days.
In order to save the declining economy, the Japanese government introduced a series of policies, but in the end, it had side effects. Therefore, Japanese people often ridicule on the internet that even if the Japanese government does nothing, it is better than such drastic reforms.
Seeing that the Japanese economy is getting worse year by year, the Japanese government can only put all its hope on the Olympic Games four years later.
The last Olympic Games helped Japan quickly recover from the mess after World War II and leap to become the world's second-largest economy in Asia. At its most glorious time, it was even claimed that one Tokyo could buy the entire United States.
Although it seems now that these wild words were the flash before the economic collapse, the Japanese people at that time were indeed very rich. In the luxury goods areas of major foreign shopping malls, one could always see Japanese tourists buying and buying, just like China today.
The difference is that a Plaza Accord plunged the entire Japanese economy into the abyss, completely falling into the situation of being demanded by the United States, so that people born after the nineties have been paying off the glory of that golden age since birth, and this repayment lasted until 2017.
Seeing that the London Olympic Games are about to end, and there are less than four years until the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Japanese government unanimously believes that this is the last chance for Japan to regain its vitality.
So the government introduced a series of policies to provide all convenience for hosting the Olympic Games, such as building high-rise buildings and sports building facilities. In addition, it also widely invited investors from all over the world, attempting to borrow the east wind of the Olympic Games to pull up the Japanese economy in one fell swoop.
To sum up, seeing him build high-rise buildings, seeing him entertain guests, as for what the final result will be, I don't know. Currently, it seems that just building high-rise buildings is enough to waste money and people. If there is any accident in the 2020 Olympic Games, then it will not be as simple as the building collapsing.
It is precisely because the Japanese government has made so many outrageous operations over the years that the public has no good face for all high-level officials, including the Prime Minister, on the internet.
But to be fair, this charity concert is still relatively popular, especially inviting Miss Luo Quan and Jinggong Jinggong Ya Zuo to perform on the same stage.
The former is the goddess of the vast number of male compatriots, and the latter is the best lover in the hearts of the vast number of young girls. Performing on the same stage, just thinking about it, you know how explosive the program effect will be.
The charity concert, which originally had no popularity, quickly became the big event that the Japanese people were most looking forward to.
As for Miss Luo Quan, she didn't pay much attention to the remarks on the internet, nor was she in a hurry to find Senior Jinggong to rehearse anything.
It's just singing a song. This thing can be interpreted very well after being familiar with it once or twice. Now there is still a month, just pick two days to get it done. There is no need to be so anxious.
First, Miss Luo Quan went to find Director Kawamura to cancel her leave.
Having not returned to school for two months, everything seemed to have no changes. Classmates still greeted her enthusiastically after seeing her, but the teachers seemed to have changed a batch, and she didn't know any of these teachers.
After school in the afternoon, she went to the activity room of the Philharmonic Society. There were many new faces in the club, and those people from the Karate Club were also there, but without Iwasaki Eishi.
"Yo, our world's most beautiful is back." Unoi Satoru was the first to see Miss Luo Quan and said with a smile.
Miss Luo Quan mocked herself, "Stop joking, President. This world's most beautiful of mine can't even get into the top three in the Tokyo University beauty pageant………… Speaking of which, what is this look of yours?"
Not seen for two months, Miss Luo Quan found that the appearance of Unoi Satoru and Amuro Yu had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Unoi Satoru used to have shoulder-length flowing long hair, quite a bit of the temperament of the male lead in Japanese love dramas in the 1990s, but now the smooth long hair has become a rooster head, red.
Amuro Yu is even more exaggerated. His hair is long and dense, his eyes are almost covered, and he just sits on a stool acting cool.
Unoi Satoru flicked his hair, "This is the look designed for us by the company. Is my Mohawk hairstyle handsome!"
Miss Luo Quan was speechless, "This hairstyle of yours was called non-mainstream in our place a few years ago. Many thugs and hooligans have this hairstyle."
Unoi Satoru was unconvinced, "But this is the most rock-and-roll hairstyle. Young people abroad like this hairstyle! Japan also has many rock singers with this hairstyle, and there is a style called visual rock!"
"What clothes to wear to sing rock is not the point. As long as you sing well, even if you wear a pair of underpants and a red scarf, there are still countless people cheering for you." Miss Luo Quan originally wanted to persuade a few more words, but finally thought it was better to forget it, "Suit yourself. Use whatever look you want. What's going on with Amuro Yu?"
Amuro Yu said in a muffled voice, "Fans say that men who are more profound are more popular."
Miss Luo Quan almost laughed out of her nose when she heard this. Such a handsome young man, why did he believe these ghost stories?
"You two don't care?" Miss Luo Quan looked at Kamiya Suzune and Miyano Natsuko, whose looks were still normal.
Suzune was very helpless, "I cared. I scolded the president the first day he made this hairstyle, but it was useless."
Natsuko's eyes were also full of fatigue, "Amuro Yu said he was sacrificing for art. This hairstyle will be more explosive when playing drums."
Delayed outbreak of middle-school syndrome? Miss Luo Quan couldn't figure it out at all, but it wasn't a big problem. In a few years, they will know how stupid they are now.
"Miss Luo Quan, are you free now?" Jinggong Jinggong Ya Zuo's voice came from behind Miss Luo Quan.
Hearing this, Miss Luo Quan's back tightened, thinking that what should come will come.
Adjusting her expression, Miss Luo Quan turned around, "Of course I am free."
"I still don't know what the song we are cooperating on is."
"No one notified you?" Miss Luo Quan was stunned, "Didn't that Director Yamanaka from NHK tell you?"
Jinggong Jinggong Ya Zuo smiled helplessly, "I only knew tonight that I was going to cooperate with you. So far, no one has told me what the song we are cooperating on is."
"'Don't Give Up,' you should have heard this song, right?"
"Of course, for the few days when this song just came out, the national TV stations and radio stations were playing it on loop."
"Then you go back and practice it. We will rehearse in a few days." After not saying five sentences, Miss Luo Quan intended to end the conversation.
"Okay, I will come to find you then." Jinggong Jinggong Ya Zuo nodded, his smile warm.
After turning around, he sighed softly, his eyes looking a bit lonely.
However, this emotion was quickly covered up by him. Everyone only saw his elegant and decent side, and these people included Miss Luo Quan.
"It's really a bit troublesome." Looking at Senior Jinggong's back, Miss Luo Quan felt a trace of pressure.
Just saying a few words, she saw many ambiguous eyes from the club members next to her. If they sing together in the future, who knows what it will develop into. ===== CHAPTER 145 =====
