Is it not a galgame?

On the evening of December 12nd, the Pokeni Music Festival officially kicked off.

At the beginning, Ms. Yoko Shimomura, as the general conductor, played several important soundtracks from Paradox's latest game "Gravity".

The soundtrack is no match for the live music feast.

Countless people arrived at the scene. Although many of them had never played or seen "Gravity", they could still feel the vastness of the starry sky and the majestic atmosphere through the music during the live performance.

Music is the most simple and unpretentious universal language of mankind. Music itself can convey a sense of picture and reach the deepest part of people's hearts.

Everyone who was there was very moved.

"Wow, is Gravity's soundtrack that good? I feel like I missed out on a great game."

“It’s actually worth it, whether it’s a game or a movie, it’s worth experiencing at least once.

Even if you have never experienced the game, you can get an extraordinary feeling through the music.

However, if you have experienced the game or watched the movie, the feeling will be more profound. "

“Yes, yes, when I hear the music, the image of the starry sky automatically appears in my mind, and I think back to the hardships in the game. It is really not easy to be a human being.

The greatness and insignificance of human beings are vividly reflected in the game. "

"Then I will definitely make up for it after I go back."

"..."

Next, Hisaishi Joe, Shirakawa Atsushi, etc. all served as conductors and played "Mushishi" and "Violet Evergarden" respectively.

These pieces are unlikely to appear in the official performance list, but they are very suitable as the prelude to the opening ceremony, reflecting the richness of pokeni elements, its all-encompassing and extremely gorgeous characteristics.

The opening ceremony of the music festival ended, but everyone was still reluctant to leave.

Pokeni’s biggest regret may be that he did not make an exclusive music for his company.

But to some extent, it can also be said that every game theme song of Paradox can represent itself.

Every game produced by Pokeni is outstanding, which is a miracle that is almost impossible to happen in other game companies.

If there was no "Noble Academy", Paradox's game hit rate and quality rate would be 100%.

To be able to achieve this level in twelve years is more than just a miracle.

Each game has its own characteristics, each game can leave a deep impression on players, and each game represents the pinnacle of that field at that time...

So each game is a part of the great puzzle of Pokeni's game empire, and together they build the great golden signboard of Paradox.

……

The opening ceremony immediately aroused the players’ expectations. The next day, various newspapers, news media, and Paradox’s newly developed new media, as well as media within the industry, competed to report on this grand event.

Paradox’s music festival can be said to be the most grand game music festival in history.

On December 12rd, the Pokeni Music Festival officially began.

The extremely popular Pokémon special brought players endless joy and touching moments, allowing Pokémon fans to enjoy an unprecedented carnival.

Especially in the blind box stage, everyone who entered received this [little surprise]

"Wow, I got a Luna Eevee!"

"Is it true? Do you want to change it? I'll give you Pikachu. Pikachu is the protagonist, and the most popular god."

"No, I prefer Moon Eevee. Pikachu is everywhere."

"Ah this... I am so sad when you say that."

"Wow, I'm Sun Eevee."

"Bulbasaur!"

"..."

The scene was extremely lively, and everyone who opened the blind box was very happy. Many people also exchanged them with others to get what they needed.

Even strangers who meet for the first time can quickly get closer and interact with each other in a Pokémon concert.

Everyone came for Pokémon, and those who could afford tickets to attend the concert were basically die-hard fans. They already had a strong common language, and if the atmosphere was livened up a little, the relationship would heat up like a rocket.

And when Pokeni edited all the Pokémon from all generations, from games to film and television images and clips, together and played them on the big screen.

All the players were deeply moved.

All kinds of memories come flooding in, ready to drown me.

"Oh my god, I have no regrets at all for being able to experience a Pokémon concert organized by the Pokeni authorities once in my life."

"I still have some regrets. It's not easy to experience such an unforgettable concert. It would be a shame if I couldn't attend it in the future."

"Hahahaha, that's true, you want to take all the good things in the world for yourself.

If you haven't experienced it, you wouldn't think that way.

Once you've experienced it, there's a thorn in your heart."

“I hope that pokeni can be held every year in the future, and I can come every year.

Even if not, I think it is a pity.

However, everything I experienced today will become the most important and precious memory in my future.

In fact, this is enough.”

"Yeah, when I'm old, in my seventies or eighties, if Pokémon is still so popular around the world, I can still proudly tell my grandchildren:

You see, your grandmother attended Pokeni's first Pokémon concert when she was young.

I find it very interesting to think about the excitement and envy on their faces. "

"The memories are beautiful because the experience was beautiful. Let's do it again some other time."

"..."

……

In the next few days, both the [Ghibli Special] and the "The Witcher" special gave players the ultimate experience.

This unique experience cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

Just think about it, not only can you shout loudly with everyone at the scene and feel the wonderful atmosphere of the music, but related game clips are also playing on the big screen, which brings back full memories.

More importantly--

How many times in your life will you have the opportunity to have Yoko Shimomura or Joe Hisaishi lead the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra to perform in front of you?

The feeling at the scene was really shocking.

When the special show ended, countless players were still reluctant to leave. In the Ghibli special show alone, Joe Hisaishi returned four or five times.

Having already obtained authorization from Ghibli, it also comes with music related to Ghibli's very famous "Castle in the Sky" and "Porco Rosso".

"What a pity, this is only a Ghibli special. If it was a Joe Hisaishi special, we could hear many world-famous songs, such as The Sun Also Rises and the music that Joe Hisaishi produced for Takeshi Kitano."

"Just be content with what you have, and don't forget, this is hosted by Pokeni.

Unless Paradox can buy the copyrights of these movies, it will be fine."

“I am so touched. I was so moved. When I played Princess Mononoke, I was tortured to death. I even wanted to kill Miyazaki.

But I don’t know why, when I hear such a scene, I suddenly feel that whether it is a game or a movie, everything is so beautiful.

Not only do I no longer hate Miyazaki, I even want to thank him?"

"Hahaha, this is probably because the scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten, right?"

"But people are like this. No matter how deeply the relationship you experienced hurt you, in the end, when you let it go, what you can still remember are the good things that happened in the past."

"It's the peak-end effect. Because the scene was so wonderful, you guys automatically [corrected] your impression of the past games."

"As long as the result is good, the twists and turns in the process will be automatically beautified, right?"

……

To Qing Zhiyuan's surprise, the concert with the largest number of people attended was the galgame special concert on the 6th and 7th days.

The venue was packed with people, and at the same time, there was a large crowd of people surrounding the concert hall in three layers.

Those who know know that this is a pokeni concert, while those who don’t think it is some large-scale parade.

So, they had already contacted the local police and government departments, and quickly mobilized a group of police forces to maintain law and order at the scene.

The players of Paradox were surprisingly reasonable and quiet. Although it was a pity that I couldn't buy tickets to the event, the audience standing outside to listen also stood quietly, holding their hands, and waiting quietly. Many of them were still young, and the oldest player present was about 40 years old.

However, in his words:
“Pokeni games carry my youth.

I still feel moved when I play Paradox's galgames.

I can still recall the time I spent with her.”

The earliest players of Paradox have already reached middle age, but the memories in their hearts have not disappeared with the passage of time. Instead, they have become a glass of wine, which becomes more fragrant as it becomes mellower.

Even if you don't say anything, I can tell from your eyes that you are a person with a story.

Every little detail makes people have endless aftertaste.

"Back then, I played the Pokeni galgame with my roommates, dreaming of marrying a girlfriend from the game. Now, 12 years have passed, and now I am looking back.

Time flies by, and I am still alone.

How can a girl be so perfect?

But it is the imperfections of reality that make Pokeni’s games so beautiful.”

……

That evening, the concert officially began. As conductor Atsushi Shirakawa raised his left hand and the first piece of music sounded, the audience burst into tears.

"Wow, it's Onmyoji!"

On the big screen behind the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, the game screen of the first generation of Onmyoji appeared:
After being restored and beautified by Paradox, the image of a shrine maiden in red and white comes to life on it.

You Mu Ling held a bow and arrow in his hand, his eyes widened, and he glared at the male protagonist.

This is the scene when Yuuki Rei meets the male protagonist for the first time.

There are still traces of mosaics. Compared with the current pictures, the picture quality of Onmyoji 12 years ago was obviously several levels behind.

However, players have their own filters.

For every player who has experienced "Onmyoji", Yuuki Rei is the most beautiful image of a girl in their minds.

Just like in the previous life, every player who has played Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 still remembers the image of Zhao Linger as being so vivid, not even inferior to the best games of the time.

"Wow, I'm so touched! It's Yuuki Rei!"

"Yes, my beloved Ah Ling, when she died, I cried so hard."

“I still remember the emotion I felt when I first played Onmyoji.

When Yuuki Ling died, I didn’t sleep well the whole night.”

"Who can sleep well? I feel like someone has stabbed me in the chest countless times. I dare not even think about it. As soon as I close my eyes, all I see is the beautiful image of Yuuki Rei."

As they were talking, some people started crying.

"This is not a game, this is clearly my youth."

"It's a little funny to say that Onmyoji was actually my first introduction to love. I was only 12 years old at the time and borrowed the game from a senior.

After playing it, I felt so heartbroken.

But, suddenly I want to fall in love."

“Me too, me too, I just hope to find a girlfriend like Yuuki Rei.

But, you all know, how can you possibly find one? Such a beautiful girl only exists in games."

"Oh, I don't dare to think about it. I feel like crying when I think about it."

"..."

It continued all the way to "Bed Man" and "Reverse Man"... until the recent "Bullfighting"

Everyone followed the music and the clips playing on the big screen, and went through the entire Pokeni galgame like a revolving lantern.

Also being turned over and browsed are each person's unique experiences.

Aren’t the 12 years of pokeni also the 12 years of the players?
"Wow."

A 40-year-old veteran player had red eyes and couldn't stop crying.

The new trend is surging again and again.

"This one night was more moving than everything else I've ever experienced combined."

The middle-aged player cried with joy, wiped his nose with a tissue, stared at the big screen, his thoughts racing.

"Looking back, I realized that Pokeni has made so many games. And each game is an important moment in my life."

A game can bring back memories.

The content of the game may be the same, but everyone's memories are different.

This is also a kind of magical power.

The power that transcends time.

It is through Pokeni's steps over the years, like sowing seeds, that it has taken root in the hearts of players bit by bit and integrated into everyone's life.

In addition to being moved, it is still moved.

……

As time goes by, the concert is about to end.

The concert on the last day lasted until about 1 a.m.

But at this time, both the players inside and outside the venue were unable to leave. Even though there was a wall between them, the players outside could still feel the unique charm of the scene.

"Well, the last one! It's really about to end."

At the scene, Pokeni's president Qing Zhiyuan hosted the last concert.

He raised a finger, and the light shone on Qing Zhiyuan.

The white light and the white suit made him look as clean and pure as an angel.

After hearing the last song, everyone couldn't help but feel anxious and dissatisfied.

However, considering the time and the physical fitness of the performers, everyone accepted this reluctantly.

"Let's sing together, shall we?"

Qing Zhiyuan raised his right hand high, "You will definitely do it!"

At the same time, a petite girl came onto the stage and stood in front of the prepared microphone.

When they saw her, countless people at the scene were excited.

"Miyamura Yuko! It's Miyamura Yuko!"

The appearance of Yuko Miyamura also made everyone realize something.

This person is not only the CV of Asuka in "Neon Genesis Evangelion", but also the singer of the theme song of "CLANNAD" in this era.

Miyamura stood on the stage and said softly into the microphone, "Thank you everyone, thank you teachers.

Next——”

With a smile on her lips, she shouted, "Big Tuanzi Family!"

Wow! ! !
There was an uproar at the scene, and everyone felt as if they were struck by lightning, and their souls trembled.

Everyone stood up and raised their hands.

"preparation!"

Yuko Miyamura smiled and swayed as she sang, "Dango dango dango dango dango big family..."

Lively music plays.

Group chorus, Tuanzi family.

Everyone was moved to tears.
