Chapter 420
"Hello, Mr. Lu!"
"Are you Chinese?"
While taking the photo, Lu Qingfeng heard a familiar voice. It was a boy of similar age to him, who looked like a student.
"Yes, I'm studying abroad at a nearby school. I saw news online and found out you were here, so I came here. I like you very much and am your fan."
The boy enthusiastically showed him his phone, and the Twitter group chat interface displayed on it was constantly refreshing messages. He couldn't understand Japanese, but the uploaded photos were all of the people just now.
No wonder so many people showed up here, it turned out his location was shared online in real time.
"Is there anything fun to do nearby?"
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land was naturally very cordial, and Lu Qingfeng smiled and talked to him.
"There's a street called Mingdatong nearby, which is famous for its musical instruments. Mr. Lu can go there and have a look. There are often people performing on the street, which is quite interesting."
The boy’s previous fan talk was not just talk. He really knew Lu Qingfeng very well and even specially recommended this place.
"And if you're interested in anime, there are many comic book publishing houses nearby, such as Shueisha, Shogakukan, and Houbunsha, so you can go check them out."
"Ok."
After taking the photo, we didn’t stay here any longer.
After leaving the bookstore, Lu Qingfeng and others planned to put the books they bought in the car, and then go to the musical instrument street recommended by the boys.
When passing by an antique bookstore that displayed books outdoors, Lu Qingfeng suddenly stopped and saw a familiar book.
This shop is a bookstore that specializes in comic magazines and single volumes. The comic single volumes displayed outside are also very old. What Lu Qingfeng saw was a series of about ten comic books.
The cover above is a bald little boy with a piece of tape shaped like an X stuck between his eyebrows.
The Three-Eyed Prodigy
This triggered memories of his past life.
Lu Qingfeng watched quite a lot of cartoons when he was a child, but because his family was poor and didn't even have a TV, he watched all these cartoons at his neighbors' houses.
"Digimon", "Beyblade", "Dragon Ball", and this one "Three-Eyed Prodigy" as well.
He still has a deep impression of this childhood animation. Although he has forgotten many of the plots and characters, he still remembers the general setting.
A little boy with a third eye on his forehead is from an ancient race and has very special powers. It is usually sealed with tape. Once it is torn off, the little boy will have the power of the ancient race and his personality will change greatly.
Most importantly, the formal coat that you usually wear will only have the top button buttoned, like a cloak.
Lu Qingfeng remembered that he had imitated it when he was a child.
Then, there is a cool weapon in the cartoon that needs to be summoned by the little boy every time.
He still remembers the slogan.
Come forth, Red Condor!
Lu Qingfeng went forward and flipped through the book with great emotion. The character of the protagonist in the book was exactly the same as the one he had watched in the cartoon.
The author Osamu Tezuka, known as the God of Japanese comics, laid the foundation for modern Japanese anime.
Lu Qingfeng thought of his talent for writing which he had not yet realized in the exam, and decided to buy some comic books to learn the techniques, storyboards and visual expression.
Yamada and Yang Xiuxiu were no longer surprised by his buying books.
Helped load the purchased books into the car.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we finished all these. We still had one more itinerary to do, which was Sensoji Temple. The area around there is one of the few areas in Tokyo that has preserved the cultural style of the Edo period.
However, the area is quite far away, and you may not have enough time to go back and forth, because Inomata Shinichiro will be entertaining you in the evening.
So it was postponed to tomorrow and everyone went directly to Musical Instrument Street.
Walk there, cross a sidewalk, and you will arrive at a paradise for musical instrument lovers.
This area, including Jimbocho, is called Ochanomizu. Because there are many universities here, young people are the mainstream group in this area.
Once you enter, you will see an entire street and surrounding alleys selling musical instruments. The various musical instruments in the store are very similar to an electronics mall. As soon as you enter, you will see all kinds of guitars hanging on the shelves.
Going a little deeper, you will see the bass.
Going further in, you can also see rows of signed instruments of very famous rock musicians, and the prices are also suddenly high.
This is not-so-old trivia: when it comes to suppression, Fuso's rock music is unique, and in some niche areas it can even be ranked among the best in the world.
This is very interesting. In such a repressive society, rock music can be so successful. The contrast is huge.
Anime elements are everywhere here, and you can see many standees of virtual music idols.
These idols are even more popular than real people.
In addition, there are various effects pedals, speakers, headphones, music magazines, instructional books, etc. This place is simply a paradise for people who love music.
Lu Qingfeng's knowledge of music theory has become more solid, and he also likes musical instruments. The more he learns about a certain instrument, the more he wants to collect it, just like he often searches for some good violins now.
However, it seems that there are more popular musical instruments sold around here and fewer classical musical instruments.
I went to several stores before I found one like this.
In addition to Western musical instruments, there are also traditional Japanese instruments such as shamisen, shakuhachi, and Satsuma biwa.
The clerk at the music store had good musical literacy. After Lu Qingfeng asked and Yamada explained, he demonstrated the techniques of these instruments.
Lu Qingfeng found it interesting and after asking for permission, he tried it himself.
The instrument in this episode was not difficult to learn, at least in his opinion. After carefully asking the clerk about some basic techniques, after the initial unfamiliarity, he was soon able to play the tunes in the He style properly.
Yamada, who accompanied him all the way, was very shocked. For the first time, he had a concrete idea of the talents of this young Chinese boy besides writing.
Although I knew from the news that he also had outstanding performance in the field of music, I always thought that he had been practicing violin since he was a child, so I didn't feel deeply about it.
It was not until I witnessed with my own eyes how quickly the young man mastered these instruments in a short period of time that I realized that I seemed to have misunderstood them.
Music education starts in schools in Japan. Although it is just the most basic, students still have some understanding of its value.
"Teacher Lu is simply a monster."
In the minds of Japanese people, genius is used to describe people who excel in their youth.
Monsters, even at a young age, are already capable of rivaling the best adults in this field.
In short, it is an existence that ordinary people cannot understand.
In Yamada Kumata's opinion, Lu Qingfeng is such a monster.
