Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

Using her real name might cause her some unnecessary trouble.

“Sunlight.”

"Ok?"

“Sunlight.”

Watanabe Hideyuki moved his fingers and filled out the personal information page according to what Kuroda Arisa said.

Then, Watanabe Hideyuki wrote in three languages ​​in the self-introduction column.

"18 years old, 弾き语りWho's heart is sounding."

"I'm 18 years old. I hope my singing and playing can touch someone's heart."

"18 years old, playing and singing I hope it touches someone's heart."

Watanabe Hideyuki deliberately kept his self-introduction very brief in order to create a sense of mystery and encourage the media and netizens to dig deeper.

Instead of playing the victim right away, netizens and the media are more willing to believe and promote the truth they have "investigated".

The reason why Watanabe Hideyuki did not let Kuroda Arisa show her face in the video was also due to this and the safety mentioned above.

Of course, there is another important factor, which is to make people focus back on the song itself.

After all, if appearance alone is the only consideration, there are countless people in this world who are prettier than Arisa Kuroda. Moreover, everyone's aesthetic taste is very different. So if you have the ability, it is putting the cart before the horse to focus on marketing your appearance.

After a series of operations, we finally reached the last step.

Drag the manuscript to be uploaded into the upload area and edit the title and description.

"Done!"

After repeatedly uploading on multiple platforms, Watanabe Hideyuki breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a bunch of big green check marks and "Upload successful" next to them on the computer screen.

It's finally done.

"I want to go back."

Watanabe Hideyuki looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen. It was almost ten o'clock, so it was indeed not late.

"Well, I won't take you home." Watanabe Hideyuki still had to move all the musical instruments and equipment on the ground back home, so he couldn't take the girl home. He joked, "Take a taxi back, and I'll reimburse you."

"See you."

"Wait a moment." When Arisa Kuroda turned around to leave, Hideyuki Watanabe stopped her in time.

"Ok?"

"I forgot to give you something."

Watanabe Hideyuki took out a small pot of green ivy, a pot of succulents and a bag of seeds from his schoolbag and handed them to Kuroda Arisa.

"Yes, this is for you. It's a gift to commemorate our successful completion of the first step today." Watanabe Hideyuki touched his head and said awkwardly, "Because I didn't expect to finish recording the video so early, I didn't have time to prepare gifts. I bought these when I saw them when I came here. I thought you would like them."

"I'll treat you to Chinese food in a few days when I have the chance to celebrate."

Arisa Kuroda showed a look of surprise: "No, thank you for your gift, I like it very much."

As if she was afraid that Watanabe Hideyuki would not believe her, she added: "I really like it."

Watanabe Hideyuki lied that he didn't prepare anything specially.

Chapter 77 You don’t want your sister to know about this, right?

After returning home, Watanabe Hideyuki lay in his bedroom and no longer thought about the video.

After all, without spending money on operations, popularity does not come in one day; the Great Wall was not built in one day either.

As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush, so let the bullets fly for a while.

What he has to consider now is how to choose Arisa Kuroda's next song.

It is not difficult to see from the information retrieved from Yahoo and the rankings on Apple Music that the music that young people in Japan like in recent years is mostly electronic music or rock music.

However, this type of music is not suitable for Arisa Kuroda at the moment.

One is the lack of financial support.

Playing music is very expensive, and electronic music requires a lot of equipment and funds. Arisa Kuroda does not have a contract agency behind her, and without the financial support of the agency, it is difficult for a person to make a decent electronic music in the early stages.

The second is the lack of people.

Therefore, these two points currently limit the development of Arisa Kuroda.

Therefore, the best route is to use Arisa Kuroda's voice and continue to make songs in the same style as this one.

Watanabe Hideyuki racked his brains to search for someone who met these requirements, and finally set his sights on Yuika.

Yuika was born in 2005 and released a song on YouTube in 2021: Because I Like You So Much (好きだから), which topped the Spotify charts in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Russia, and Thailand.

She has attracted attention as a "female high school singer-songwriter".

The song "Just Because I Like You So Much" has been viewed over 100 million times on YouTube.

So the second song is the most suitable for Arisa Kuroda now.

First of all, the voice is suitable.

Arisa Kuroda's voice is not suitable for singing those more mature and domineering songs.

Secondly, this song has already been successful.

It is highly replicable and predictable.

So Watanabe Hideyuki decided to copy down the lyrics and music score of this song, make slight changes, and give it to Kuroda Arisa in two days, asking her to practice diligently.

The plan for this matter has already set the tone.

There is one more pressing matter.

That's what Mr. Mizutani told him about the semester test this morning.

How can we quickly improve the academic performance of those students?

Take his best friend Ishiyama Ryoma for example.

If he is to be taught a lesson, it would be better to kill him.

In his words: Study? Learn shit!

The other people who received after-school tutoring were basically the same as Ishiyama Ryoma. Although the special tutoring he and Nishii Rimi had certain results, it was far from meeting the school's standards.

After all, their foundation is really too poor.

It takes a certain amount of motivation to get something done, but for this group of people, there is no motivation at all to study.

After graduating from high school, some are arranged by their families to go abroad to gain experience, some join the family business, and some collect rent. They are completely uninterested in something like a good ranking, which is relatively cost-effective.

For children from ordinary families, studying may be their entire life in the first half of their lives. For them, interests/hobbies are the integral part of life.

The reason why they could sit in the classroom peacefully after school and listen to him and Nishii Satomi's lectures was because they were under double pressure from home and school. Not making trouble was already the limit of what they could do.

Not to mention Chiaki Kitano.

How can I improve her grades if she doesn’t even go?

Does he have to fill in Kitano Chiaki's name and student number after finishing the test?

It's even more of a fantasy.

Kitano Chiaki alone was a hurdle that he couldn't overcome, let alone others.

Thinking of this, Watanabe Hideyuki felt somewhat depressed.

But then again, although they are twin sisters, Kitano Chiharu's academic performance is unexpectedly good. If he remembered correctly, she was probably ranked around 30th in the grade.

Ask Chiharu Kitano for help?

This thought only appeared in Watanabe Hideyuki's mind for a moment, and then he passed it over.

how is this possible.

If he took the initiative to deliver himself to the door, he would be like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth, and would probably be eaten by Kitano Chiharu without leaving anything. He would not even have time to avoid Kitano Chiharu.

No no no.

This is the worst option.

Don't do this unless it's absolutely necessary.

Then he should try to contact Kitano Chiaki through Line first, and then make plans?

It seems that this is the only way to do it for now.

Watanabe Hideyuki took out his mobile phone, opened Line, and opened the chat interface of Kitano Chiaki.

"23:29"

"Watanabe Hideyuki: Are you there?"

Maybe influenced by the old guy on the forum in his previous life, he always likes to start with "Are you there?"

...

After a few minutes.

Watanabe Hideyuki didn't wait for a reply. It was too late and Kitano Chiaki was probably already asleep.

He went to the bathroom and took a shower.

What's more, after taking a shower, he had some new ideas about this problem.

When he came out of the bathroom, he unexpectedly received a text message from Kitano Chiaki on his phone.

"Kitano Chiaki:?"

Why did he always feel that this way of reply was familiar?

Then I thought, oh, it turned out to be him.

He also always seemed to like sending a question mark to the other party - a simple, convenient, quick and most effective way to provoke the other party's anger.

"Watanabe Hideyuki: Don't tell your sister about the conversation between you and me."

Watanabe Hideyuki first fixed a bug. He was afraid that he would ask Kitano Chiaki to come over for tutoring after class, but the person who came next was Kitano Chiharu.
