After Christmas comes the Japanese New Year.
In fact, the Japanese New Year faces a problem similar to the dilemma encountered by the Chinese New Year in the immediate life: it has no flavor of the year.
Generally, many people have almost forgotten the things to do during the New Year in Japan, and there is only one red and white song and battle left to watch.
This year, the Red and White Songs will fight together, and Hema got the news that Kobayashi Kazuma will be on stage. Because he released a single that became popular in Japan last year.
As the composer of the single, Hema had hoped to be invited to the scene to watch the red and white song battle, but I don’t know why Hema was not invited in the end.
It doesn't matter to the horse, it's easy to watch on TV.
During the battle of the Red and White Songs, Amao stayed in his room and seized the last time to review.
After the Japanese New Year, he will face the first hurdle: the entrance exam.
If you can't even pass the joint entrance exam, getting into college is like a dream come true.
He Ma was also a candidate last year, but he remembered correctly, he and everyone had a great time watching the Red and White Songs and Battles together.
Of course, when I took the exam, I was in a different state from Ah Mao. At that time, I didn’t have to worry about mathematics with the nine-year compulsory education, and I didn’t have to worry about English with the money I had accumulated in foreign trade companies for many years. It's a sure thing to be admitted to Dongda University.
Ah Mao is different. After the prodigal son turned around, he started to lay the foundation from scratch. Although he has studied for two years, he still has to make a move now.
In fact, He Ma is a bit like asking Amao to watch the Red and White Song battle. Relaxing may have a miraculous effect.
But Chiyoko didn't agree with anything.
As for Ah Mao himself, he has always felt that it is a very serious matter to be admitted to Dongda University now, and he must go all out.
After watching the singing show for two hours with Ma, he finally saw the face of Kobayashi Kazun, so he said, "Here it is, your song is a famous song. At least Kobayashi Kazheng heard that I was going to sell a song, and he would rush over as soon as possible. .”
This "Sudden Love" is a single written by Hemagi Kobayashi Kazuma in the first half of the year, and it was widely sung as the theme song of a love TV series in the second half of the year.
It's a pity that Hippo always feels that the TV series that this song is paired with is not good enough, and it doesn't have the inner flavor of "Tokyo Love Story".
I feel that Sony Music just temporarily found a TV series with a love theme. After seeing that the TV series producer has a lot of talent, I used it directly.
I don't know if "Tokyo Love Story" will be born in this time and space.
With Ma's memory, "Tokyo Love Story" has fundamentally influenced the love view of a whole generation.
Think carefully about Japan’s influence on China at that time. Du Qiu and Mayumi influenced the dressing style and mate selection standards of a whole generation. set the tone of friendship for the whole people towards Japan.
At that time, almost everyone in China could sing "Spring in the North Country".
And "Tokyo Love Story" is already the tail of this influence.
Later, the Chinese themselves created the largest industrial society in human history, and Japan's influence decreased instead.
No matter how strong the influence of the second dimension is, can it be as strong as Du Qiu? Back then, Du Qiu was wearing a windbreaker, which immediately became a hot item. At that time, the young man was pinning his head and it was like getting a windbreaker like this.
Kazuma listened to "Sudden Love" that he had copied out, recalled "Tokyo Love Story" in his memory, and wondered if he could still see Rika Akana's smile.
Nichinan Licai looked at Kazuma: "Why do you have a serious face, Kazuma?"
He Ma: "I remembered what happened when I was writing this song."
When I was writing this song, I went to the mountains near Sendai with Ma and the others to soak in the hot springs, and many things happened.
As for what actually happened, Nichinan Licai actually didn't know the complete truth. But she used her own method to understand the expression of Now and Ma: "The son of the god is still in Tokyo, and I hope he can feel something when he listens to this song by the master."
He nodded with the horse.
Nichinan Licai will stay with Kazuma now because she agreed to celebrate New Year's Eve together after watching the Kohaku Uta Battle, and then go to visit the shrine together for the first time.
Although Nichinan Rina's mother had some complaints about her going to Waseda University, she seemed to have given up recently and let Nichinan prepare for the exam.
Nichinan Ricai even wanted to live directly with Hema and concentrate on preparing for the exam.
The most staunch opponent of this idea is Chiyoko.
Now watching the red and white song battle, Rinan Nina mentioned this idea again: "When I was reviewing at home, my mother and father always did not cooperate in various ways. My mother even played Tchaikovsky, beautiful The name Tchaikovsky must be beneficial for the Waseda exam... I think, in order to improve the efficiency of the review, it is better to live with the master."
Before Kazuma could speak, Chiyoko said, "After all, it is Waseda University, maybe Tchaikovsky really has a miraculous effect."
Nichinan Rina looked at Chiyoko, and was about to speak, when Chiyoko said, "There are no more vacant rooms here. If Nichinan wants to live here, you can only live in Mikako's room. You can tell Mikako, she will be happy." Let you live?"
Mikako: "My recent return to the dojo is a small probability event. It seems to be no problem to make do with it. When I spend the night in the dojo, I just set up a Odori shop to deal with it all night, just like today."
Chiyoko raised the corners of her eyes and looked at her with the expression of wanting to kill her for meat.
Mikako didn't care, she reached out for a tangerine and peeled it off.
Rinan Rina: "Then I'll stay in Miss Mikako's room until the exam is over?"
Mikako waved her hand: "You can stay here, you can use whatever is in my room, you don't need to ask me."
Chiyoko showed a sullen expression.
But Nichinan Ricai didn’t tease Chiyoko either, so she posted Kazuma directly, and whispered, “After that, I will ask Master to tutor me in English and math.”
He Ma: "No problem."
Rinan Licai looked very happy, took an orange, peeled it, and fed the pulp to Kazuma.
When eating oranges with the horse, it seems that I licked a little bit of Nichinan's fingertips.
At this time, the Kohaku Uta battle was over, and Mikako raised her hands high: "It's over! There is still time before the first visit to the shrine, so I'll sleep first."
Chiyoko: "Don't sleep in the kotatsu! You will catch a cold if you sleep in the kotatsu!"
"Yes, yes." Mikako replied, she didn't take it seriously, and lay down directly in the kotatsu.
Because she lay down, and the horse's leg touched her leg directly.
After all, they are all in the kotatsu, so it is normal for this kind of thing to happen. In fact, in addition to being the opposite Mikako, Kazuma can also feel the legs of Rinan Rina sitting next to him.
Honami sat behind the square table by herself because she felt that the kotatsu was too crowded. From Kazuma's perspective, the curve of Honami's legs under the table can just be seen.
Where did Japanese girls have the habit of wearing skirts in the cold? Anyway, Honami is also a skirt, and she uses super thick stockings to deal with the cold.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun with the horse.
Honami noticed Kazuma's gaze, and was puzzled.
He Ma Xiangxiao: "You have been seen all over, and you still look puzzled."
"Ah, it's just being stared at. I'm used to this kind of thing. What I'm curious about is what are you thinking?" Honami said.
He Ma: "I'm thinking of wearing long johns for you all."
Rinan Licai first objected: "If there are pants under the skirt, the school will punish us."
He Ma: "Then you just wear pants."
"No, it is stipulated that school uniforms must be worn on the back-to-school day." Nichinan Rina sighed, "Girls in Japanese school uniforms do not have pants. If I want to wear pants, I have to get a pair of pants from the boy's side. Only bad girls can wear them." Will wear boys' school uniforms."
Well, Kazuma finally discovered that the root cause of Japanese girls freezing to death and wearing skirts is that their school uniforms have no pants.
At this time, Honami said: "Would you like to try the thick stockings developed by our Nanjo Foundation? I wear them quite warm. Although they are not as warm as trousers, they are almost the same. But the disadvantages are also obvious: it will appear Thick legs."
Kazuma couldn't help but look at the curve under Honami's table a few more times. It turned out that the stockings were super thick.
No wonder Honami has been sitting at the square table, not feeling cold at all.
At this time, Yuzao stood up suddenly: "It's almost time to prepare for the first visit to the shrine. Anyone who wants to change the kimono should go here to pass on the kimono. If you use the kimono, you don't have to worry about keeping warm."
Chiyoko stood up: "Well, I'm wearing a kimono."
She looked at Nichinan Licai with undisguised eyes.
In fact, Kazuma told Chiyoko many times, saying that Nichinan might not want to rob Amo with her, but Chiyoko felt that it was necessary to be defensive.
Nichinan Licai sighed: "I'll forget it, I'll just go and pay my respects later on."
Kazuma: "You didn't bring your kimono?"
"No. When I was at home, my mother would dress me up every time I visited for the first time. Then our family did not go to the nearby temple for the first visit. Instead, we set off more than an hour earlier to go to the famous shrine. Visit When I was there, I would meet a lot of great talents in the entertainment industry, so I was in trouble."
Nishinan Licai smiled at Kazuma as he spoke, this smile gave Kazuma a fleeting impression of a flower in the mirror out of thin air.
Rinan Rina stood up, came to the TV, and began to turn the knob to change channels.
Honami said: "Recently, there are models that can be used with remote controls. Let me see if I can get one for you and Ma."
Kazuma nodded directly, but Chiyoko said: "It's fine if the TV can be watched, and now this version doesn't have much trouble changing channels, so let's just do it."
Honami looked at Chiyoko: "This TV has few channels to choose from. Now the latest TV can receive dozens of channels, and the knobs are not enough."
Chiyoko: "Our family doesn't need that kind of thing. Anyway, the main activity of our family is going to school, and we can let go of the things we enjoy first."
In fact, He Ma really wanted a color TV that could receive dozens of channels and change channels with the remote control.
But Chiyoko killed Kazuma's thoughts with one sentence. She said: "Those who can receive dozens of channels are cable TV. We can't afford cable TV at all. Even NHK's tax, we have It was hard to hand in."
He Ma decisively shut up.
At this time, Amao came out of his room and asked Chiyoko, "What's the fuss about?"
"Ah, Tamamo said that everyone should wear kimonos to visit the shrine for the first time. How about entering now, Momo?"
Amao nodded: "It's okay. I just finished a set of papers today and I'm checking the answers."
He Ma: "If you don't understand anything, just ask."
"I will." Amao nodded vigorously.
After speaking, he quickly went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, and went straight back to his hut.
Chiyoko seemed very worried about Ah Mao's situation, but she didn't want to ask more questions.
Soon, the Kiryu family was ready to visit the shrine for the first time.
Qingliu wore a kimono that looked super expensive, and it seemed that the whole person felt different.
And Yuzao is still wearing the black kimono with flying crane pattern, but with a few layers of haori, it looks more graceful and luxurious than before.
She stood with Qingliu, just like a mother going out with her daughter in costume.
Amid the exclamation of everyone, twelve o'clock passed quietly, and the time entered 1982.
He and the Ma family went out to pay homage for the first time.
But because everything around Kiryu's house was almost demolished, they didn't meet many people until the station.
When we arrived at the station, the crowds gathered.
It is the first time to pay homage in Geshi District, and the first choice is naturally Indra.
There is a line in the national comedy "The Story of Tonjiro", which is called "I was raised by the water of Di Shitian".
When Kiryu's family visited, they made a wish with Ma, hoping that all the candidates in his family could be successfully admitted to the school they want to go to this year.
Chiyoko was probably the one who made the wish the most. She washed her hands meticulously, and then every step of the wish was perfect.
He Ma speculates that her wish should be that Ah Mao can be admitted.
**
A few days passed quickly after the first visit to the shrine, and it was the day before the entrance exam.
He Ma couldn't help thinking back to the day before his joint entrance exam last year, feeling as if he didn't care much, just went for the exam casually and passed.
But Chiyoko got up early today, and was preparing the equipment for the candidates at the Kiryu Dojo early in the morning.
He Ma always felt that she would check Ah Mao's pencil case after a while.
Amao himself seemed very calm then.
He Ma asked him, "How is it?"
He gave Kazuma a confident smile: "No problem. After all, the entrance exam is just writing basic questions, so it's easy to pass."
Kazuma laughed and said: "Check your pencil case carefully, I'm afraid that Chiyoko may be frizzy and have missed something."
Chiyoko heard what Kazuma said, and immediately protested: "I'm so frizzy! I'm just a little restless!"
He Ma laughed and said, "You're called frizzy. It's just the entrance exam, it's impossible to fail."
Chiyoko looked very worried: "I think the entrance exam can pass a lot of people..."
Amao smiled and said: "Those are all here to mess around, and it is mainly these people who are eliminated in the entrance exam."
Kazuma patted Chiyoko on the back: "Look at his confident expression, there is nothing to worry about. Let me tell you as a person who has experienced it, if you feel confident about exams, then you really have it."
Chiyoko was unconvinced and said, "Then what about Mikako?"
Kazuma laughed dumbfounded: "Mikako is a special case. Can ordinary people compare with Mikako?"
Chiyoko curled her lips and looked at A Mao seriously: "Take the exam well, it's up to you."
Amao nodded: "Leave it to me. When you come back from the exam, you can have a celebration banquet."
Basically, the score can be estimated after the entrance examination, after all, there are many multiple-choice questions.
That's why Ah Mao had the phrase "tonight's celebration banquet".
He Ma patted Amao on the shoulder.
At this time, he remembered that there was an examinee named Rinan Ricai in his family, and Rinan Ricai had lived at Kiryu's house since the night of the New Year's Eve.
So Hema hurried to find Nichinan Licai, only to find her in the dojo.
She is practicing swinging a sword.
He Ma: "Why, you are suddenly interested in learning swordsmanship?"
"Because I found that practicing swinging a sword recently can calm me down." Nichinan Rina replied, "When swinging a sword, you don't have to think about anything, just stare at the front. You don't have to think about anything, just swing the sword to Just the specified number of times."
Hema came right in front of Ri Nanli Cuisine: "Would you like to fight with me?"
"No, it's impossible to win." Ninan Jiao said, "The biggest problem with learning swords here is that you are too strong, master! I fought a few times with you, and I lost all my confidence."
Kazuma glanced at Nichinan's kendo level, and wanted to say that this is actually beneficial. After all, brushing Hema's experience value is super high, which can quickly improve Nichinan's kendo level. But Nichinan probably wouldn't believe such words.
Kazuma: "If you can't keep up with my kendo level, you may not be able to communicate with me at all in the future."
Nichinan Licai smiled and said: "There is no need for that kind of thing between men and women. Look, master, you can understand my thoughts as long as you put your arms around me, can't you?"
"I don't understand." He Ma decisively denied.
Nichinan Licai grinned: "Obviously there is. Every time I am hugged by you, Master, I feel that my thoughts can be more or less conveyed."
Changed the topic with Ma: "How do you feel about the entrance exam?"
"Hmph, for this kind of exam, just take it casually. Those who can't even pass the joint exam are not qualified to compete on the same stage at all." Nishinan Licai said this, which is quite domineering.
He Ma sneered: "Don't overturn your car in the entrance exam and run back crying."
Ninan Licai said seriously: "If I fail the entrance exam, then I will obey my mother's wish and go to the entertainment industry. I hope you will not dislike me, master, and come to compose for me."
He Ma snorted coldly: "I won't write songs for a guy like you who can sing."
"Oh, so strict! If you write a song for me, I will give you benefits." Rinan Ricai laughed.
Kazuma looked at her body in the kendo suit, even the kendo suit couldn't suppress her curves.
But He Ma thought about it, none of the girls in his family could be suppressed by the kendo uniform—except Qingliu.
Even Chiyoko can at least be included in the scope of the future.
As for Qingliu, it doesn't seem to make any difference whether it's a kendo suit or not. From another perspective, it's also irrepressible.
If there is no curve, the kendo suit cannot be suppressed!
Nichinan Rina looked at Kazuma, and suddenly snickered and said, "Is the master thinking of something impolite? Do you want to take off my kendo uniform and do something interesting?"
He Ma said solemnly: "The kendo uniform is so smelly, it is impossible for anyone to have any unreasonable thoughts about it."
Nichinan Licai snickered and said: "I found out, if you practice kendo well, you can attack the master in this aspect. It seems that I have to be serious."
You'd better be serious, right now you're the worst swordsman among all the members, and it's easy to be taken as a breakthrough.
At this time, Rinan Licai suddenly said: "By the way, I just read Amao's review materials. How should I put it, I feel that his preparation for the exam is weaker than I thought."
He Ma didn't expect that Ri Nan Licai would actually talk about business at such a time.
"What does it mean to be weak in exam preparation?" He Ma asked.
Ri Nanli Cai shrugged: "That's the literal meaning. He has a little difficulty in many basic questions in my opinion."
Kazuma sighed: "After all, he was still a bad boy before he met me, and he was the kind of guy who was regarded as a reserve army by the Yakuza. He started to pick up the previous subjects from the prodigal son back, and started from scratch. Learn high school knowledge."
In fact, Amao also learned a lot of junior high school knowledge from scratch. Chiyoko was preparing for high school at that time, and he helped him a lot for this.
Rinan Rina looked at Kazuma with a serious face, thought for a while and said, "If A Mao fails this time..."
Kazuma: "Then let him live here and start preparing for the exam from the beginning. I didn't think that a prodigal son who turned around could be admitted to the highest university in Tokyo in one go."
Ri Nan smiled and said: "You still talk about others. You are also the one who suddenly worked hard after the prodigal son turned around. Now the teachers in Beigaoli regard you as an example of encouraging others. They say that you are a special student for sports. It took three years to suddenly work hard, and finally got admitted to Dongda University, which is incredible."
He Ma Xin thought that there is a reason why I can do this. I rely on the nine-year compulsory education, okay
Nichinan continued: "However, the one who has been used as an example recently is Mikako. She is also a special student in sports, and she worked hard in her third year of high school. She was admitted to Sophia University, and then appeared on the show, scolding Sophia University. professor."
He Ma: "I'm not scolded to death, Qianjiang Yinan is not dead."
"It's not bad for a teacher."
He Ma cleared his throat, and said to Nichinan: "If Ah Mao fails the exam, I will support him to continue preparing for the exam."
Nichinan Licai smiled and said: "But if Ah Mao doesn't pass the exam this year, your financial pressure will suddenly be reduced. Does the master hope that Ah Mao will not pass the exam this year?"
If Amao doesn't pass the exam this year, then in March, he only needs to pay Hema's own tuition fee and Qingliu's tuition fee, which is not wrong.
But Kazuma never expected that from the beginning.
He looked at Rinan seriously and said loudly: "What are you talking about! I never expected that kind of thing. This is the first time I visit the shrine this year, and my wish is the same. You in the dojo can all be admitted to the school you want this year. "
Nichinan Licai bowed to Kazuma with a serious face: "I'm sorry, the apprentice knew it was wrong."
The attitude of admitting mistakes is good.
As soon as Kazuma thought this way, Nichinan straightened up and said to Kazuma: "Come and punish me for making mistakes, master!"
... I shouldn't think too well of her.
By the way, the two candidates at the Kiryu Dojo passed the entrance examination smoothly.
