The concert is divided into three stages.
The first stage is admission, which is the entry of ticketed audiences.
Depending on the location and size, generally speaking, the larger the concert, the more relaxed the admission time.
The second stage is the opening, which is when the performance begins.
The third stage is the end of the show, when the performance is over and the audience leaves one after another.
Depending on the organizer's rules and activities, there may also be fan handshakes and autograph sessions after the performance, but these are mostly individual cases.
Time will never stop, it will move forward every moment and every second.
At 7:30 p.m., the loudspeaker in the park started to sound:
"The piano recital at midnight is about to begin. Ticket holders are requested to enter in an orderly manner."
Hearing this noise, the ticket-holding audience quietly left the crowd and headed for the main entrance of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
As for those audience members without tickets, some of them wanted to take advantage of the situation and also ran over.
However, due to the limited space and location in the venue, as well as the intense atmosphere and the large number of people gathered, the security level was too high, leaving no chance for anyone to sneak in.
Most people just looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Master Zero Hour is not going to show up?"
"Could he have entered early?"
"How is that possible? We arrived at 7am. Even to go to the toilet, we took turns. There was no way we could miss each other."
"Is there a possibility that... we can't recognize Master Zero-Time without his mask and tuxedo?"
"It seems there is no chance this time, let's go."
"It was worth coming here tonight. I saw Adeline."
"Adeline is so beautiful... She's not dressed up, and both her clothes and makeup look very ordinary. Is this natural beauty?"
"That black-haired lady is so beautiful... She showed up in a luxury car, accompanied by a maid. She must be a rich lady, not a cosplayer, right
Most people felt that this result was generally acceptable, and they left the venue slowly and in an orderly manner amid the discussion.
"What do you think? Will Master Zero Hour show up when we wait until the show is over?"
Just then, a voice appeared among the crowd.
“It’s possible.”
"Why don't we wait a little longer? The show is only two hours long and we've already waited for half a day. We can afford to wait a little longer."
“And we can also watch the live broadcast of the performance here.”
Once this statement came out, it once again ignited the expectations of many people.
Perhaps Adeline's appearance and debut, her breathtakingly beautiful face, and her unique temperament, are indeed a surprise.
But in the final analysis, the reason why so many people gathered at the scene was because of their idols.
It is no exaggeration to say that more than 90% of the people at the scene had only seen Zero Hour's appearance on the Internet.
The mysterious sense of the unknown and the unattainable temptation attracted so many people to gather at the scene.
The most important thing is that some people even take leave and drive a long way to get here in order to get a good seat.
For them, it is really hard to accept that they have paid so much but failed to get the most satisfactory results.
“You can only use mobile data to watch the show in the park, which is too expensive... I'd better go to an internet cafe.
"The phone screen is so small, it's not pleasant to watch."
However, most people cannot afford the cost of continuing to invest and choose to leave the market, or to stop loss.
Yuta Miyazaki was also among the leaving team. He was smart and kept a close eye on the time. He had already walked to the nearest exit of Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
"What a shame. Let me tell you, Master Zero Time is really handsome. His aura is truly amazing."
Miyazaki Yuta did not come alone. He was accompanied by several college students, all of whom were alumni of the University of Tokyo.
"How dare you say that? You've kept everyone waiting for over an hour."
"That's right. You said that Master Zero Hour dotes on his fans and that there weren't enough tickets and he couldn't do anything about it. But showing up to greet everyone before the show is something he can easily do."
"With so much time, wouldn't it be uncomfortable for me to order takeout at home, turn on the air conditioner, and sit in front of the computer?"
Hearing his words, everyone felt resentful.
"Senior... you are so unreliable."
Even the schoolgirl who had a crush on Miyazaki Yuta was feeling troubled at this moment and had no way to defend him.
"Don't say that... Although we didn't meet Master Zero Time, we met Teacher Ninomiya."
Faced with everyone's complaints, Yuta Miyazaki paused for a few seconds, choked up, and then tried to comfort everyone.
Maybe this is not the best result, but it is not a complete loss.
"That's true."
"Now it seems that Ninomiya-sensei did not resign impulsively, but she will no longer be a teacher at the University of Tokyo, and will mainly carry out activities as the girlfriend of Reitoki."
"Ms. Ninomiya was probably worried about her status. Acting in the music video might affect the reputation of the University of Tokyo. She was worried about the bad influence, so she chose to resign."
Most of the people who came along to join in the fun were students from the Ninomiya group.
They also admire Master Zero Hour, but they were attracted by the news that Mr. Ninomiya would appear in the MV.
In fact, the impact of Chizuru Ninomiya's performance in the MV was extremely huge, like a storm, which directly swept through universities and even colleges across the country.
This incident has caused quite a lot of social problems... Some people even submitted a letter of opinion to the University of Tokyo, saying that Chizuru Ninomiya, as a female teacher at the University of Tokyo, had a very bad influence by appearing in music videos like an artist after resigning. She was simply promoting the theory that studying is useless and must be severely punished and held accountable.
Of course, most people are happy to see this.
Because the piano single "Adeline by the Water" is not just a song, but a love letter of the new era.
Whether it was positive reviews or negative reviews, they pushed Zero Hour, Chizuru Ninomiya, and "Adelina at the Water's Edge" to the forefront and became popular all over the country.
From elementary school students to people in their seventies and eighties, everyone has heard about this.
"Anyway, it's worth it to see Ninomiya-sensei so happy."
Yuta Miyazaki laughed with everyone.
"That's right."
"Let me tell you, this is the first time I've seen Ninomiya-sensei smile. She's so beautiful."
Everyone was also relieved and agreed.
While chatting and laughing, they did not stop and kept walking out.
But at this moment, Yuta Miyazaki, who was following in the footsteps of his predecessors and was about to leave Ueno Park and find a nearby Internet cafe, bumped into the person in front of him.
"sorry."
Suddenly bumping into someone, Miyazaki Yuta decisively bent down, bowed, and apologized solemnly.
However, the man who was hit did not turn around or get angry, and still had his back to him.
Quiet, very quiet. No conflict, no reaction. This was completely different from the normal situation of accidentally bumping into someone on the street.
"?"
Noticing something strange, Miyazaki Yuta straightened up and looked up in confusion.
I saw a person standing at the entrance of Ueno Park.
He wore a gentleman's hat, his face was hidden by a mask, he was dressed in a black tuxedo, he was tall and slender, his shadow was stretched very long by the light of the street lamp.
With this appearance, he is obviously the Master of Zero Hour.
He stood there motionless, like a statue, yet exuding an indescribable majesty.
When a person is silent and still, it can inspire awe.
In fact, everyone speaks according to the situation.
Maybe children don’t think too much, and some people speak without thinking.
But when everyone speaks, they will observe other people's expressions, movements, eyes, and tone, and then subconsciously choose words that they think are right.
That's right, when no changes are observed, people will not dare to act rashly.
"Master Zero Hour?"
"Cosplay again?"
Seeing this scene, some people were surprised, while others were skeptical and disdainful.
Because today many people cosplay Zero Hour Master, although the degree of completion is far not as good as the one in front of you, especially the mask, which is exactly the same.
But in fact, the appearance of the Master of Zero Hour is not impossible to replicate.
No matter what the idea was, everyone tacitly chose to remain silent and stopped when seeing it.
Everyone is waiting for the next change from this man who is suspected to be the Master of Zero Hour.
"well… "
Being the center of everyone's attention, Kurosawa Hikaru, wearing a mask, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He wasn't standing still on purpose to scare people, it was just that seeing so many fans leaving in disappointment made him feel complicated.
Although he felt regretful, Kurosawa Hikaru still took a step forward and started walking towards the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
His pace was neither fast nor slow, but wherever he went, he was eye-catching.
Because the aura he exudes is very special, with his head held high, confident and calm, as if he is about to go on stage, but is just a leading actor passing through the audience.
Because he was going against the flow, going against everyone else, and was wearing the clothes of Master Zero Time, people couldn't help but wonder what he was going to do.
"He's Zero Hour!"
Yuta Miyazaki looked at the figure walking towards him step by step, his mood gradually fluctuated, and he was shocked, and the thoughts in his mind blurted out.
Perhaps in this world, not many people know the true identity of Zero Hour and who he is.
In this case, wearing a gentleman's hat, covering his face with a special mask, and wearing a tuxedo suit would indeed easily cause confusion.
However, for those who have seen the Master of Zero Hour in person, it is not so easy to be confused.
Because it is easy to imitate a person's appearance, but it is extremely difficult to imitate a person's charm and temperament.
“Is this true or false?”
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused surprise among the little friends.
"Really? I've seen Master Zero Time, and I can confirm that he is absolutely real."
Miyazaki Yuta looked determined.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the alumni of the University of Tokyo all lit up.
"No way?"
"The show is about to start, and they just came out... Could it be fake?"
However, other people don’t know Yuta Miyazaki at all, so they are still skeptical about this statement.
At this moment, several security personnel who were standing at the entrance of the park and guiding the crowd suddenly received a message. They walked forward in unison, surrounded Ling Shi in the middle and cleared the way for him.
If Yuta Miyazaki's words were internet rumors, then the security guards' actions were undoubtedly official confirmation.
"He really is the Master of Zero Time."
"Master Zero Time is so tall."
"Master Zero Time is so handsome."
After seeing this scene, people who were originally skeptical felt like they had found a beacon of light.
One stone can cause a thousand ripples, and the movement at the entrance and exit of the park swept over like a surging wave.
"Master Zero Time is here?"
"No way? Is this a scheduled appearance?"
"Get out of the way, let me pass!"
Because after expectations were dashed, hope rose again, and many people were filled with surprise and excitement beyond their imagination, and some people even wanted to see it first.
Seeing this scene, the security personnel deployed in various locations quickly took action to maintain order.
"Ah—it's zero hour!"
"Zero Hour! I love you!"
"Zero Hour! I'll always support you!"
Some people were extremely excited when they saw Zero Hour going in the opposite direction and being surrounded by security personnel.
Because of the online broadcast, most people were unable to buy tickets. The biggest regret was not having the chance to see their idol.
This is also the reason why so many people who failed to buy tickets came here just to join in the fun out of a sense of luck.
The emotions fans feel when they see their idols are indescribable... In unexpected and unfulfilled situations, those emotions will be even more amplified.
Unlike the amazement of seeing Adeline and the tacit understanding of shouting her name, when seeing Zero Hour's appearance, all the fans went crazy and were unable to organize neat slogans.
In an instant, screams and shouts, noisy and chaotic sounds, broke out in the park.
A huge noise came from the park entrance. Even though many fans didn't see anyone, they were infected and excited because the noise was so loud.
Such noise even reached the main entrance of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
"Master Zero Time is here?"
Even the audience who were checking the tickets knew they would be able to see it later, but they were still attracted by this situation.
Because if you really want to see someone, it is happiness even if you see him/her one minute or one second earlier.
The architectural style of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan is very special, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor.
"I have to make this trip... I hope nothing goes wrong."
Under the light, Igarashi Runa stood in front of the French window with one arm folded. Seeing the noise below, she couldn't help but feel a headache.
In fact, there is no arrangement for early appearance at midnight tonight.
Because Ling Shi is different from ordinary artists, he is a masked artist, and the fewer times he appears, the better.
Moreover, the scale of the fans today is so large that it can be called a grand occasion. If this were to happen in front of everyone, who knows if any accidents would happen.
That's right. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Kurosawa called her and said that everything was ready. She directly asked Kurosawa to pack up the clothes for the temporary use and pretend to be a passerby to bring them into the hall.
As a result, Kurosawa arrived at the scene early and found that the fans were looking forward to Zero Hour's appearance more and more when they saw Adeline's appearance. In the end, when they were disappointed, he couldn't help but ran out.
To be honest, she didn't know how Kurosawa managed to run to the park entrance without anyone noticing... Maybe this is parkour.
At the same time, Kurosawa Hikaru strolled down the aisle towards the hall.
Along the way, the lights were shining, and the screams and shouts were endless.
It feels really good to be surrounded by people who like you and admire you.
Although he was secretly happy, Kurosawa Mitsuru did not become elated but remained alert.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be prepared for the worst.
The social atmosphere in Japan is very morbid and depressing. It is easy for everyone to accumulate stress in life, and because of this, extreme psychological situations often occur.
He has to be on guard in case a fan suddenly rushes over and wants to take off his mask to see his true face.
In such an occasion, if his mask were taken off, it would be a serious problem.
The interaction between the piano master and the talented girl from the University of Tokyo is a story that is envied and praised by the world.
However, the situation is completely different when it comes to the interactions between female teachers at the University of Tokyo and their students.
"I love you!
”
Kurosawa Mitsuru paced back and forth, keeping his eyes and ears open, always on guard.
Because he was wearing a mask, there were blind spots and dead angles in his vision, so he turned his head from time to time.
This scene is undoubtedly a good thing for fans.
Finally, Kurosawa Hikaru walked to the door of the hall.
"Did it go well?"
The expected worst result did not occur, and Kurosawa Mitsuru breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Zero Time, please."
With his arrival, although there were many people checking tickets at the door, the security personnel also made way for him.
Inside the hall, many people did not go directly to the concert hall to take their seats after checking their tickets, because they all heard the noise and stopped to see the Zero Hour Master's appearance.
"Good evening, Mr. Zero Hour."
Just then, a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner came over and greeted us in broken Neon language.
"Mr. Robert, are you here too?"
Seeing him coming, Kurosawa Mitsuru was impressed by him and walked forward warmly to hug him and communicate with him in English.
This Robert is from Croatia, and was a friend who particularly supported him when he attended the event as a special guest.
"I heard that you were going to have a recital, so I immediately dropped all my work and came here. I also sent you a wreath."
Robert was extremely happy to see him embrace him so warmly and pointed to the many wreaths arranged at the door.
Foreigners are not as reserved as Asians. When they give you a gift, they will directly tell you.
"Thank you very much."
Indeed, Kurosawa Mitsuru followed his movements and saw those grand gifts. His heart froze, but he still smiled.
Although he has lived in this world for 20 years and has adapted to local customs in many ways, sending wreaths is one of the cultural things that is difficult for him to adapt to.
"You're welcome. I'm looking forward to what kind of surprises your performance tonight will bring me."
Robert couldn't see his expression, but seeing his pause, he thought he was very happy and laughed.
"Zero hour, 15 minutes until the show starts, let's go backstage first."
Just then, Igarashi Runa walked over in high heels.
"I'm sorry, I have to excuse myself. The performance is about to begin. I'll go backstage to get ready."
Seeing her interrupting, Kurosawa Mitsuru naturally cooperated and turned around to explain.
"It's okay, go ahead."
Robert knew that he was the lead actor tonight and was looking forward to the performance, so he didn't insist too much.
After saying that, Kurosawa Hikaru followed in Igarashi Runa's footsteps and started walking.
"There are quite a few wreaths tonight."
Along the way, Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't help but look back at the wreaths on both sides of the door, always feeling that something was wrong.
Although he knew that in Japan, sending wreaths to others represented joy and blessings... he just couldn't adapt to it.
"After all, you are very famous now, and you are at the peak of your popularity. One of the wreaths was given to you by Liuhua."
Igarashi Runa didn't know what he felt, she just thought it was a good thing and smiled with pride.
This is the first premiere of Zero Hour, and although it is different from opening a store, it is actually very similar.
Whether or not someone sends a wreath is a reflection of one’s popularity.
That's right, the more wreaths the better.
Generally speaking, the bigger the event, the tighter the backstage security is to prevent passers-by from trespassing.
As they moved forward, they passed one security guard after another and went deep into the backstage.
"You really scared me just now. Fortunately nothing happened."
After walking into a room, Igarashi Runa looked around and saw that there was no one in the room. She closed the door and couldn't help but complain.
As an agent, she has always had a very good control over her artists.
But when facing Kurosawa, she couldn't control herself.
First of all, Kurosawa is a partner and his status is no less than hers.
Secondly, her relationship with Kurosawa was very ambiguous, and she didn’t want to do anything that would displease him, such as opposing him.
"Sorry, there won't be a next time."
When Kurosawa Mitsuru saw her suddenly turning her head and rolling her eyes, he also actively admitted his mistake.
He was indeed wrong in this matter... Because he knew how to repay kindness, he was able to see the kindness and goodwill shown to him by others.
That's why he saw many fans leaving in disappointment, and one of them couldn't bear it and ran out.
Doing so does make fans happy, but it also adds unexpected risks.
"I'm glad you understand... I won't say much about the performance, I'm sure you don't understand it. But this time it's a solo, different from the special guest last time, you should adjust your state first. For example, drink some water and go to the toilet."
Seeing his attitude, Igarashi Runa felt relieved immediately and then explained the matter.
The most taboo thing in relationships between people is that when opinions conflict, one party makes a mistake but refuses to admit it, which is unreasonable.
"good."
Kurosawa Hikaru is very convinced about her arrangements for artist activities.
It’s nothing, it’s just because Miss Runa is reliable, attentive and trustworthy.
"Come to think of it, is there any one of those ten piano pieces for me?"
After finishing the business, Igarashi Runa took two steps forward, adjusted his tie, and asked casually.
"have."
Seeing that she pretended to mention it casually, but was actually a little jealous, Kurosawa Mitsuru said without hesitation.
"Which one?"
Igarashi Runa's heart was moved and he asked again.
"Dance of flowers."
After thinking for a while, Kurosawa Mitsuru said.
Each of the ten piano pieces tonight is a classic, and there are many romantic piano pieces.
Romantic piano music is suitable for most couples, just like love songs that always resonate with some people.
"real?"
When Igarashi Runa heard this poetic name, her eyes lit up.
In fact, before her relationship with Kurosawa became ambiguous and went beyond friendship, she was envious when she saw Chizuru and Miss Ichinose receive piano pieces written specifically for them by Kurosawa.
A song written for you by the person you love... Such a gift makes people yearn for it just by thinking about it.
"Really, you will like it." Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.
"Why?" Igarashi Runa found his attitude very firm and was a little puzzled.
"You'll know once you listen."
Kurosawa Hikaru is extremely confident about the ten piano pieces he is going to perform.
At this moment, Igarashi Runa's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Igarashi Runa asked after reading the message on her phone.
"Need not."
Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head.
"Then let's go to the side stage of the performance area."
After receiving this reply, Igarashi Runa nodded and couldn't wait to speak.
Maybe she is an agent, but that doesn't stop her from being a fan of Zero Hour.
Fans were all looking forward to this performance, and so was she... What's more, because she participated in various preparations behind the scenes, that sense of participation made her look forward to it even more eagerly than ordinary fans.
