Member of Congress Yasuhiko Asakura is not at home at this time, and his wife is definitely not at home anyway.
He was sitting in the living room of his landlord's apartment in an apartment next to the Kanda River.
This place in Tokyo is very magical. The price of land is linked to "tradition". For example, there is a place in Tokyo called Asakusa, and there is a temple called Sensoji Temple in that place, which later became a very famous tourist attraction.
According to the Chinese routine, the low prices around Sensoji Temple will rise, but not in Tokyo.
Before Sensoji Temple became famous, there were a lot of poor areas around it with very low land prices. After Sensoji Temple became famous, there were still a lot of poor areas around, and the land prices were very low.
Along the Kanda River is a famous slum area, where a large number of low-cost apartments are distributed. Since the Taisho era, it has been a popular place for rent-seeking for college students who come to Tokyo to study.
There are a large number of low-rent apartments on both sides of the Kanda River. For the college students living here, opening the window and seeing the Kanda River is a common sight in their daily life.
Right now, Councilor Asakura Yasuhiko is looking at the Kanda River in the night.
The owner of the apartment where he lives is also the landlady, wearing a cheap kimono, sitting in the corner of the room, playing the shamisen.
At this moment, the landline phone in the apartment rang, but the ringing stopped abruptly, and someone obviously picked up the phone immediately.
After a while, someone knocked on the door of the room.
"Come in." Asakura Yasuhiko replied softly.
A bodyguard in a suit and leather shoes opened the sliding door and entered the room, and came to Asakura Yasuhiko and whispered something in his ear.
"Understood." Senator Asakura nodded, then waved his hand to let the bodyguards leave.
After the bodyguard opened the door and left, the landlady, who was still playing the shamisen, said, "I called here. Is it the chief of staff of the small room?"
"Well, I've told him many times, don't call here, and talk about it the next day if you have anything to do. But it's useless."
Senator Asakura continued to look at the Kanda River outside the window.
The landlady continued to play the shamisen without asking any further questions.
Time passed quietly like this for a while, and then Mr. Asakura suddenly said, "Do you remember those days when we rented together?"
"I almost forgot all about it." The landlady responded softly, "Almost."
What they were talking about was when Asakura Yasuhiko had just been admitted to the Faculty of Political Science at Keio University, which resumed enrollment, just after the war ended.
It has been 34 years.
At that time, Asakura Yasuhiko was 23 years old, and his time in college was spent at the oil station at the anchorage of Naval Batashima.
After the war, Asakura Yasuhiko returned to university, and after 34 years of struggle, he became a member of the famous young faction.
The brief co-rental career on the banks of the Kanda River is just a small fragment in the long 34 years.
In the history of the Asakura family, it is completely worth mentioning.
However, to commemorate those days, just a few years ago, the musicians under the care of Asakura Yasuhiko created a song "Kanda River", which tells the sweetness and hope for the future between a couple of college students who rent together. A special feeling of fear and hesitation.
Under the operation of Asakura Yasuhiko, this song was on the top sales chart of the year, and was on the Red and White Song Hezhan (equivalent to the Spring Festival Gala in Japan), and was adapted into a movie the following year.
Ordinary people basically don't know the work that Senator Asakura has put into this matter, and no one even noticed the relationship between the whole process of this song's rise and Senator Asakura.
Asakura Yasuhiko moved his sitting position, sat directly on the window sill from the window, and put his hands on the iron railing outside the window sill.
The landlady watched his movements, stopped playing the shamisen, and asked, "It seems that you are in a good mood today? Since you suffered from rheumatism, is this the first time you are sitting in this position?"
"Is it the first time? Ah, maybe. I just want to sit like this all of a sudden."
"Did you find a young man who reminded you of the past?"
Asakura Yasuhiko didn't answer, just looked out of the window, as if immersed in memories.
Seeing this, the landlady plucked the shamisen strings again.
This time, she played the melody of "Kanda River".
Asakura Yasuhiko tapped the time gently with his hands.
After the song ended, Asakura Yasuhiko said, "Sure enough, I am no longer young, and the past days will never go back. Now I can only spend the rest of my life as a wily Asakura Councilor."
"There's nothing wrong with that," said the landlady.
"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that." Asakura Yasuhiko sighed and changed the subject, "My youngest son has already betrayed me."
"Kang Chun? It's a pity, but he has never been a reassuring child, has he?"
"Yeah, I hope he can play his role well until the last moment this time. At least it's not completely useless."
"Are you going to prepare the touchstone again? This time, Kang Chun will sing this role again?"
"I hope from the bottom of my heart that he won't push himself into that position every time." Asakura Yasuhiko looked quite regretful, "If Kang Chun was a girl, then everything would be much easier, I You don't have to worry about it anymore."
Asakura Yasuhiko curled his lips: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's play "Kanda River" again."
"Of course, any time." The landlady played the shamisen again, and this time she accompanied the lyrics.
you may have forgotten
Use a red handkerchief as a scarf
The two walked into the bathhouse on the street together
we agreed to come out together
Waiting outside but always me
…
The landlady sang softly, and Asakura Yasuhiko tapped the time lightly.
The melodious melody echoes the sound of drizzling rain outside the window and the sound of trickling water.

Kiryu and Ma didn't know that there was another chasm to be crossed before them.
He slept soundly, got up early in the morning, touched the harmonica first, and played a piece of The Place of the Stars, making sure that his muscle memory was still there.
I finally learned this song with the BUFF from the beginning. If I forget it, it will be a big loss
After blowing about where the stars are, Kazuma got dressed and went to the kitchen.
"Brother, did you play the song last night early in the morning?" Chiyoko was busy in the kitchen as usual, and when he saw He Ma came in, he asked, "That song is really good, did you really compose it, brother?"
"That's right," He Ma boastfully turned the tune into his own. Anyway, the person who actually created the tune may still be learning the basics of music theory. Plagiarism in a time machine, can that be considered plagiarism
"Why, you don't believe it?" Kazuma asked Chiyoko.
"I can't help but I don't believe it. After all, you have written it all. It just feels so unreal. That good-for-nothing old man suddenly became a strong man with both civil and military skills. People can't help but wonder if you have been taken away. .”
Sister, you have seen through the truth!
But Chiyoko's next sentence made Kazuma dumbfounded.
"If you are really taken away, I hope you will never change back, brother. I like the current brother better than the previous useless brother."
He Ma curled his lips, thinking that when he dies and sees the original owner of this body below, he must write a miserable word on his leg.
At this time, the doorbell rang, and Ma speculated that either the chairman of the committee had come, or Nanjo-san.
"I'll go and open the door." Said Hema, yawning as he came to the entrance, opened the door and went out.
The answer is that the chairman and Nanjo arrived at the same time.
Sighing with the horse: It seems that today the dojo will also be thundering and lightning from early in the morning.
