Chapter 324 Don't Give Up! (Achieved in a million words!)

"Wow!!!"

"It's really Sakai spring water!!!"

"Sakai-san!"

"Hoohoho!"

This east egg is boiling.

That's right, the woman who appeared on the stage, standing in front of the rocking mic and smiling slightly, is the lead singer and soul of ZARD, Izumi Sakai!
Deeply loved by time, Sakai Izumi's forever beautiful face is like a bright light shining into the hearts of everyone present.

The more than 5 people sitting in the east egg never imagined that they would actually be able to see the concert of Sakai Spring with their own eyes in their lifetime.

The audience, who realized this unbelievable fact, instantly recovered from their stupefaction and cheered in unison.

Even the parents of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the others who were sitting in the audience stood up frantically, shouting at the woman standing on the stage.

"Sakai-san!!"

"spring!!"

That appearance is unimaginable. Just now, when watching the Coldplay performance, these people all looked calm.

The two extreme and extreme reactions fully demonstrate that even if she does not appear on TV or in public places, Izumi Sakai, a woman who just sings quietly, will always be an irreplaceable existence in the hearts of Japanese people. !
In the Japanese music scene, only one person's singing can inspire an era.

That is, Sakai spring water.

Perhaps most of the audience who came to the scene today are young people.

However, these audiences are people who have some understanding of the Japanese music scene, not fans who blindly chase stars.

Therefore, they all knew what the name Sakai Spring Water represented.

It represents the singer and the essence of music. . .

The purpose of not promoting and not appearing in any programs is to make the already mysterious Sakai spring even more curious.

Some time ago, it was revealed that the cancer had relapsed and was forced to be admitted to the hospital for recuperation. At this time, he unexpectedly appeared at THE SUN's concert.

This kind of development made the audience unable to calm down the excitement in their hearts.

Since he was able to stand on the stage, it meant that Sakai Izumi's condition had stabilized.

Then, can we hear the singing of Sakai Spring again? !

Thinking of this, everyone in Dongdan felt that the trip was worthwhile.

. . .

Izumi Sakai, who was standing in front of the rocking mic, suddenly turned his head and looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was standing beside him with an electric guitar on his back.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto also felt her gaze and moved his gaze away.

I saw Izumi Sakai smiled at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, pointed to the shaker in his hand, and signaled that it was time to start.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi also nodded lightly, and then nodded to Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki who were ready to go.

Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki also nodded, indicating that they can start at any time.

After receiving the signal from his teammates, Kiyoshi Sakamoto took a deep breath, and then, with his fingers, swept across the strings of the guitar. . .

A prelude that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar flowed out of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fingers in an instant.

"This is..."

Whether it’s Kiyoshi Sakamoto’s parents Akira Sakamoto, Hirako Sakamoto, Makoto Ogawa’s parents and other older generations, or the younger generation such as Aragaki Yui, Yamashita Tomohisa, Nagasawa Masami, etc., they were all moved by the familiar drumbeat and guitar. The sound awakens the song in my mind that I will never forget after listening to it once.

""Negative けないで"?!!"

At this moment, the eyes of more than 5 people were focused on the woman on the stage.

Even the three people who accompanied her were the protagonists of this concert, THE SUN. . .

At this moment, everyone was looking forward to, Izumi Sakai sang that deeply rooted song.

At this moment, standing in front of the rocking wheat, with his eyes gently closed and his lips slightly opened, is Sakai Spring Water, who is the protagonist!
Finally, after a few eight-beat accompaniment, she opened her eyes, parted her rosy lips, and sang into the rocking mic.

"In an inadvertent moment, I meet your eyes"

It was still the voice full of vitality, it was still so comfortable, it was still like a clear spring flowing through the bottom of my heart, the singing of Sakai spring quieted the whole Dongdan.

More than 5 people listened quietly to the woman on stage, singing the song that inspired a generation.

Although Sakai Spring's throat was also damaged due to cancer, compared to the previous singing, it was a little hoarse, and the breath was not enough, but that's it, that's good. . .

Being able to hear the sound of Sakai spring water already makes people feel that there is infinite power gushing out from their bodies, and people's hearts are full of courage.

"I still remember the heart-pounding happiness"

"I have fallen in love with the fresh and elegant season since then"

"Please continue to shine like that day"

At the end of the first stanza, just as the chorus was about to come out, Izumi Sakai discovered that the entire Dongdan was singing with her.

"Don't admit defeat, it's only a little bit close"

"Please run to the end"

"No matter how far apart"

"My heart will be with you"

"Chasing that distant dream"

There was no preparation or reminder in advance, just singing along with the music unconsciously.

More than 5 people sang the chorus of the climax together with Izumi Sakai on the stage.

The neat and consistent singing, the mighty chorus, and every word and sentence were sung perfectly.

In such a situation, Sakai Quanshui, who was standing in front of the rocking wheat, was also moved to tears of joy.

Standing in front of more than 5 people and singing songs, Sakai Spring, who has suffered from cancer for the past two years, is also full of emotions.

"It feels so good to sing..."

The Sakai spring water that let the tears flow, ripples appeared in the heart.

When her condition relapsed in April, she once thought that she might just be taken away by God. . .

Especially on June 6, when her condition had improved, when she went for a routine walk, she walked to the side of the vending machine, and suddenly felt dizzy and weak in limbs. At that time, she thought that her time ,arrive.

In the face of death, she could not help but panic.

However, at the moment of fainting, a person held her shoulders, supported her weak body, and at the same time conveyed to her the belief not to give up.

Thinking of this, Izumi Sakai shifted his gaze to Kiyoshi Sakamoto who was playing the guitar beside him.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto seemed to feel it. The gaze from Izumi Sakai raised his gaze from the guitar and looked at Izumi Sakai.

They met each other and smiled slightly.

At this moment, the distance between the two people, who were in their twenties, was extremely close in spirit. . .

. . .

The song goes on.

In the ensuing concert, more than 5 people held back their tears, and Sakai Izumi, who had red eyes, continued clapping and singing loudly.

Izumi Sakai sang the song "Basic けないで", while recalling his feelings when he was writing this song.

In the era of Japan's bubble economy, in order to bring encouragement to thousands of confused people, she revised and revised many times before finally finalizing the lyrics of this song.

In the end, this song brought infinite courage and inspiration to the Japanese people.

However, she also received a lot of encouragement in the song. . .

But now, because of cancer, she once thought about giving up, but she still held on.

She is grateful that she did not give up at the time, but worked hard to receive treatment.

Just like the lyrics in this song "Negative けないで", "Don't give up, it's only a little bit close", "Please run to the end", and work hard to the end.

It is precisely because of this that she can appear on the stage again and continue to sing for those who like her and care about her.

This is why, after confirming that she became a guest at THE SUN concert, Sakamoto Kiyoshi asked her which song she was going to sing at the concert, the reason why "negative けないで" blurted out.

"I will try my best to keep running, no matter the ends of the earth, I will not admit defeat!!" Izumi Sakai made up his mind in his heart.

The whole song "Negative けないで" until the end, seems to be in the concert of Izumi Sakai, all the audience sang in unison.

The song is over.

Under a burst of thunderous applause from everyone, Izumi Sakai bowed, turned and left gracefully.

On the stage, only the once neglected protagonists, THE SUN, were left.

"Ahem, hello! It's me again, I'm back!" At this moment, Kiyoshi Sakamoto deliberately joked, trying to focus the audience's attention on himself.

"Hahaha..."

As for Kiyoshi Sakamoto's joke, the audience also gave face and laughed.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto continued to talk to the audience.

"Well, what do you think of this last group of special guests?"

"it is good!!"

A tidy answer made Kiyoshi Sakamoto smile.

However, just as the scene fell silent and he was about to continue with the next sentence, a "highest!" sounded from a place near the audience.

In an instant, the area near the front of the stage burst into laughter because of the "highest".

Sakamoto glanced over, only to find that the shout seemed, should, and might have come from someone he knew very well.

Because, he saw the location of the sound source, standing a middle-aged man who made a loudspeaker with his hands.

And that man is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's father, Akira Sakamoto. . .

"This father..."

Speechlessly complaining in his heart, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, his father who suddenly turned into a fanboy, still kept a smile on his face.

As the saying goes, smiling on the face, MMP in the heart.

"Tonight's performance is not over yet!"

"Then, next, please listen to our new song from THE SUN..."

""Cronostasis"!"

　After nearly half a year, it finally reached a million words.Sprinkle flowers! ! !
　　Along the way, thank you for your support and encouragement, so that I will not stand alone.

　　Thank you.
