Chapter 122 Ninomiya's Gift
After stepping through the double doors, it was not a recording studio, but a very spacious room that looked like a living room.
There is a sofa in the spacious place. Looking to the right, it is probably the recording studio. It is a partition with an independent window wall.
Behind the window wall was the recording studio. From a distance away, Kurosawa could see a huge object covered by black cloth in the room. It was obviously a piano.
Beyond that, there’s a lot of equipment outside that is obviously something a recording studio needs to have.
The wall you look at is a black soundproof cotton wall, which looks very solemn and serious.
Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at Igarashi Runa in surprise.
It’s hard to imagine that this was prepared in just a few days. Should I say that money can make things work, or that the action is efficient?
"Come on, come into the studio and perform a song for us."
Seeing his amazed expression, Ninomiya Chizuru's beautiful eyes slightly curved, and then she said happily.
He invested 100 million in entrepreneurial capital when he first started his business, and he was not disappointed.
In fact, she doesn't really care about money, as long as Kurosawa is happy.
"Okay." Kurosawa Hikaru nodded, and immediately took the lead and walked over.
He opened the heavy door of the recording studio and walked inside.
It may be because the exhaust fan is turned on. Even though this room has just been renovated and everything is brand new, there is not much smell in the room. It is a little bit but not a big problem.
Compared to this, Kurosawa Hikaru walked to the black cloth and a chair.
"You're welcome, just open it. This is a gift from Chizuru."
Igarashi Runa followed him in and was a little happy to see his happy look.
There are some words that Chizuru can't say, so let her say them.
Hearing this, Kurosawa glanced back, then nodded slightly, gently grabbed the black cloth, and opened it.
With the black cloth no longer covering it, a black grand piano with exquisite shape, graceful streamlines and a work of art appeared in front of him.
"So beautiful."
Perhaps it was the permanent reward of piano proficiency, which brought countless years of experience. Kurosawa looked at the piano in front of him and was sincerely surprised.
It was huge, tall, and long, and the material was so good that it was mesmerizing. Compared with the piano in the restaurant that day, the difference in specifications could be seen just at a glance.
If the piano in that Western restaurant is third-rate, then this one is definitely first-rate.
"Runai has already asked someone to tune it. I don't know what you think. Do you want to audition it first?"
Seeing his expression as if he had received the best gift, Ninomiya Chizuru was also genuinely happy and said.
She likes piano very much, but her parents didn't allow it before. Now it's too late to learn piano after leaving society, and she always has regrets in her heart.
But now, Kurosawa not only likes piano, but also has such superb piano skills. Giving him a first-class piano can satisfy his regret.
Kurosawa didn't speak, just nodded, and then gently pressed his hand on the keys.
"do!"
The sultry timbre and extremely sensitive touch made Kurosawa Hikaru's lips curl up.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
At this moment, he was extremely convinced of this sentence.
He had an extremely strong feeling of pride bursting in his chest. With this piano in his hand, he could conquer the world.
Immediately afterwards, Kurosawa Hikaru began to press the keys one by one. Different from the rough audition at Magic Star Studio, his movements were very gentle, and he understood it patiently and carefully.
This step was very long, but the two women waited patiently and closed the door.
After trying out the last note, Kurosawa Hikaru sat down.
Seeing him finally sitting down, Igarashi Runa was so excited that she touched her best friend with her arm, as if to say, "He's coming."
Ninomiya Chizuru's mood was also lifted up, with some expectation.
These days, Runa has been bragging to her about how amazing Kurosawa Hikaru's Flight of the Bumblebee is, and now she can finally see it.
“It’s not Flight of the Bumblebee that I’m going to play.”
Sensing their silent anticipation, Kurosawa Hikaru turned back to look at them and explained in advance.
Since it was his first performance, he did not want to play the fast and furious "Flight of the Bumblebee" but wanted to play the "Croatian Rhapsody".
"Not a flight of bees?"
Hearing this sentence, Igarashi Runa couldn't help but feel pity. She really wanted to hear it again.
The same goes for Ninomiya Chizuru. She really wants to listen to the piano music arranged by Kurosawa Hikaru.
Immediately afterwards, Kurosawa raised his hands high, slowly placed them on the piano, and began to play.
The next moment, the sultry and crisp reverberating piano sound resounded throughout the recording studio.
Just for a moment, the eyes of Igarashi Runa and Ninomiya Chizuru widened.
In the field of music, there is a saying of kneeling with your mouth open, which means that as soon as you open your mouth, you will amaze the audience.
Nowadays, Kurosawa Hikaru's performance is undoubtedly like this, just like the sound of nature.
In just a moment, people are drawn into the world of music.
"OMG……"
Ninomiya Chizuru was amazed and shocked.
For example, the "Für Elise" played in the western restaurant was as gentle as the evening breeze, leading people into the gentle music and gradually reaching the climax.
Then this piece of piano music that I have never heard before is like waves hitting my face. The waves rush over each other and sweep people into the ocean.
Looking at such a handsome and extraordinary man in front of the piano, playing the enchanting piano music, Ninomiya Chizuru was entranced.
"I made the right choice!"
Although Igarashi Runa has never learned an instrument, she has listened to countless works. Because of this, she can feel the potential of this piano piece.
In the previous song "Flight of the Bumblebee", which even Miya Hamada recognized very much, she fully appreciated Kurosawa Hikaru's superb piano skills and became addicted to it. Using this as the confidence, she resolutely resigned from her annual salary. Up to 20 million jobs.
Having said that, she felt a little uneasy in her heart. Although her business ability as an agent was strong, she had lost the company as her backer. Can she really make Kurosawa famous?
But now, the worries and worries in her heart were directly dispelled by this piano music.
Because of the Kurosawa Hikaru in front of her, she felt like she was watching a piano master perform. His elegant and calm posture was so beautiful.
That's right, it's beauty, not handsomeness... It's a wonderful feeling that makes people fall in love with it.
The duration of "Croatian Rhapsody" is only more than three minutes, and it ends quickly.
However, until Kurosawa Hikaru retracted his hands, Ninomiya Chizuru and Igarashi Runa still couldn't come to their senses for a long time.
The first time I heard this piano music, the impact was very shocking.
Before they could recover, Kurosawa Hikaru continued playing.
This time, he chose "Exodus", one of Maxim's three famous songs.
This piece of music is majestic and shocking. The piano alone is not enough to fully experience its charm. But even so, Kurosawa Hikaru has been composing the music seriously since Monday night, trying to restore the feeling as much as possible. .
"How does the second song feel?"
When the playing was over, Kurosawa Hikaru finally spoke.
"It's nice, but not as good as the first one."
Ninomiya Chizuru had already calmed down while playing.
"Then don't let it go for now."
Kurosawa Hikaru was not surprised by this result, he just wanted to give it a try.
"Exodus" is awesome, but it's not suitable for solo piano. It's impossible to fully express its charm with just one instrument. It requires a band.
"Which song will you play next?"
Igarashi Runa was still not satisfied and wanted to hear more, just like listening to a concert.
""Flight of the Bumblebee"" Kurosawa met her expectant eyes and said a name with a smile.
"finally coming?"
Hearing this name, Igarashi Runa was very excited.
Because she was very excited, Ninomiya Chizuru was also looking forward to it.
The next moment, Hikaru Kurosawa started playing "Flight of the Bumblebee".
Just for a moment, the dense and frequent notes exploded instantly.
"Wow……"
When Chizuru Ninomiya saw his performance, her scalp felt numb and goosebumps appeared all over her body.
Although I had heard about it before, seeing it with my own eyes was still very shocking.
This piano piece is even more impactful than the Croatian Rhapsody. No matter who you listen to it, you will definitely be impressed.
But unlike his previous performance at Magic Star Studio, Kurosawa's piano skills are even stronger. From beginner to proficient, it is just a leap of one level, but there is a huge difference.
"Better playing!"
Even though Igarashi Runa was mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she heard it again.
Because the Flying of the Bumblebee is not only an auditory enjoyment, but also a visual enjoyment. The almost dazzling fingering is a pleasure to watch.
She had an intuition that "Flight of the Bumblebee" and the first piano piece alone would be enough to make Kurosawa famous.
This piece is the shortest, because the fingering is very fast and it is over in a blink of an eye.
"Snap, snap, snap!"
When Kurosawa Hikaru put away his hands, Ninomiya Chizuru couldn't help but applaud.
Different from just now, when she looked at Kurosawa Hikari again, her eyes were full of surprise and admiration.
Although she saw him playing the piano, she really didn't expect that Kurosawa Hikaru was so good.
"Which piano piece is your favorite, Miss Ninomiya?"
Kurosawa Hikaru felt a sense of satisfaction well up in his chest when she looked at him, and he said immediately.
"The first song you just played, what's its name?"
As soon as these words came out, Ninomiya Chizuru could feel that he wanted to play it to her and said immediately.
Maybe she had other favorite piano pieces before, but now that has changed.
No moment can compare to the moment just now.
Because at that moment, Kurosawa Hikaru used the gift she gave him to play a perfect and beautiful piano piece. The feeling was unique.
"Croatian Rhapsody."
Although Kurosawa Hikaru wanted to say the original name, but considering the origin of the original work, he said so.
"What a strange name..."
Hearing this name, Igarashi Runa was a little surprised.
"The rhapsody is all based on folk music themes. Have you been to Croatia?"
As a super academic, Ninomiya Chizuru has some strange ideas about this country.
"I haven't been there, but I accidentally learned about this country when I was reading world history."
"This is really a rhapsody..."
Realizing that he had created this piece of music like this, Ninomiya Chizuru couldn't help but sigh.
"indeed."
Kurosawa Hikaru shrugged slightly.
Perhaps it is not ethical to pretend to be the original author, but there is no other way. He can't say that he is a reborn person from another world, right?
The only thing he can do is to let Maxim's works resound in this parallel world and let people feel its charm.
