Chapter 53 "I'm Yours"

Kiyoshi Sakamoto on the stage, wearing a white shirt and jeans, sat on a high chair, holding a guitar, and started playing.

In an instant, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fingers kept lifting and falling on the guitar strings, and a beautiful sound of the acoustic guitar was transmitted to the ears of the audience through the stereo.

Hearing the crisp guitar melody at the beginning, the agitated audience slowly calmed down and began to listen quietly to the performance brought to them by Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Two eight beats passed, and along with the guitar melody, Kiyoshi Sakamoto spoke.

"Well you done done me and you bet I felt it"

"I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted"

“I fell right through the cracks”

"and now I'm trying to get back"

"Before the cool done run out"

“I'll be giving it my best”

"Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention"

“I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some”

"But I won't hesitate no more, no more"

"It cannot wait, I'm yours"

A series of English lyrics spit out from Sakamoto Kiyoshi's mouth.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's warm voice, coupled with the cheerfulness of this brisk ballad, made the audience feel as warm and beautiful as if they were in a rural orchard under the sun at eight or nine in the morning.

And Sakamoto Kiyoshi is like the poet who is in the orchard, holding a guitar, sitting under the fruit tree, playing and singing softly.

What a picture of a country flavor, appearing in the minds of every audience.

When Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew that the concert was held in Nashville, he had already selected the song "I'm Yours" from wizard singer Jason Mraz.

This is the longest-running single in Billboard's history, with a sales volume of more than 100 million folk songs.

It just so happens that in Nashville, the birthplace of American folk songs, singing this song "I'm Yours" is a match made in heaven. Kiyoshi Sakamoto believes that the effect at that time will definitely not be as simple as one plus one equals two, but at least equal to three!

Therefore, Sakamoto Kiyoshi first wrote the score and lyrics of the song when he was in the hotel, and asked Uncle Ishida to help him get the music copyright to avoid any worries, and then simply arranged the song and changed it to a simple The acoustic guitar version weakens the rock and roll of the original song and makes the folk style a little stronger, so as to match the preferences of the locals in Nashville.

Sure enough, on the stage, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto played the prelude, it could be said that he had already attracted the attention of the audience who liked folk songs; next, Kiyoshi Sakamoto sang with his gentle voice full of sunshine. At the first line of the song, the folk fans at the scene listened intently.The other audience members were also very surprised. They didn't expect this RB person to be so fluent in English, and he sang so well.

In the first period, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was still sitting on the high chair, with his eyes closed slightly, his mouth facing the rocking mic, and singing softly.

But in the second paragraph, Kiyoshi Sakamoto stood up all of a sudden, played the guitar, smiled at the audience, turned the microphone, and increased the volume.

“Well open up your mind and see like me”

"Open up your plans and damn you're free"

Standing in front of the rocking mic, Kiyoshi Sakamoto played the guitar, sang, and swayed gently, as if inviting the audience off the stage to sway together.

However, the audience off the stage really showed their face, and some people really started to sway their bodies gently following Kiyoshi Sakamoto's brisk singing.

"Look into your heart and you'll find love love love"

“Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing”

“We're just one big family”

"And it's your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved"

When Sakamoto sang these few lines, most of the audience in the audience joined the big family that was swinging together. The audience in the entire Nissan Gymnasium and the version on the stage seemed to have become one at this moment. Regardless of national boundaries, there is only such a big family of music.

One big family that rocks together!
Sakamoto Kiyoshi was also very happy to see that the emotions of the audience had been mobilized by him.

Because only the power of music is so powerful, it can make strangers who have never met each other communicate with each other.

"So I won't hesitate no more, no more"

"It cannot wait I'm sure"

"There's no need to complicate"

“Our time is short”

"This is our fate, I'm yours"

The second chorus, the audience off the stage also sang the last part of "I'm yours".

"but do you, dd-do"

“But do you want to come on”

“Scooch on over closer dear”

"And I'll whisper in your ear"

Following the lyrics, Sakamoto Kiyoshi kept winking at the audience, with a very rich expression, which also made the audience like this ghostly little singer even more.

Although it seems to be very slow, in fact, the song, which lasted for a few minutes, came to an end very quickly.

The last chorus was sung by Sakamoto Kiyoshi and tens of thousands of audience members.

"But I won't hesitate no more, no more"

"It cannot wait I'm yours"

Although it is not so neat, but it has already made the four westlife members watching in the background sigh, "KIYO is really a born stage performer!"

"Driving the audience in the audience, singing the song that I just heard for the first time, what an infectious performance!!!"

On the stage, Kiyoshi Sakamoto ended the song "I'm Yours" perfectly under the swing of the fluorescent lights of the audience.

The moment after singing, there was a deafening warm applause, and Sakamoto Kiyoshi enjoyed the applause of tens of thousands of people who came at once. He really wanted to open his arms and embrace this moment. But reason told him, "You can't do this, you are not the protagonist of this concert."

So, in the end, Sakamoto Kiyokan just closed his eyes, enjoyed the audience's applause, bowed and thanked him, and walked off the stage with his guitar on his back.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto in the passageway of the stage met the four members of Westlife who were about to go on stage to continue their performance, and all four of them went over and hugged Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"Hey, KIYO, you sing really well!"

"This song is so well written!"

All kinds of praises seemed to come out of Westlife's mouth for free, which made Kiyoshi Sakamoto very useful.

"After the performance is over, let's talk slowly. Let's go up and perform first." Westlife and others went on stage to continue the performance after a few words with Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned the guitar he was holding to the staff, and walked slowly towards the lounge.

Entering the lounge, Kiyoshi Sakamoto saw Uncle Ishida sitting on the chair, dozing off, his eyes half closed, his head kept nodding, but he didn't fall off.

Seeing this scene, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, although his face was darkened, did not wake him up. Instead, he lowered his footsteps and slowly sat on the opposite chair.

As the manager of the lazy guy Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Uncle Ishida is also very tired.

Because Kiyoshi Sakamoto, as a minor, often needs to apply for this application and that, and these are all done by Uncle Ishida, running around, and all kinds of work to comfort the staff, Uncle Ishida , took the comfort items and distributed them one by one, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto just paid for it.

Moreover, when he came to the United States this time, Uncle Ishida also visited the Music Copyright Association to help Kiyoshi Sakamoto complete the copyright registration of "I'm Yours". In the lounge, I dozed off unknowingly.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi also knew that the uncle had been running around with him in the past year, and it was also very tiring.I have nothing to do with myself, but most of the work is done by Uncle Ishida, so it's no wonder that Uncle fell asleep in the lounge.

"Well, it seems that I need to give uncle some salary or benefits, or should I find an assistant to run errands?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto was thinking about how to reduce Uncle Ishida's workload, Uncle Ishida woke up suddenly, Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto sitting on the opposite chair in a daze, he immediately woke up and asked, "Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep, how is it? Do the audience still like it?"

"It's okay, I'm Kiyoshi Sakamoto, a young talented singer, Sony's little prince, the youngest winner of the record award, of course it's not for nothing. The audience outside are all fascinated by my singing, hehehe." Kiyoshi Sakamoto with an expression of "I'm just amazing" is so awesome, and his stern look makes people want to see it. . .beat him.

If it was Gakki or sesame, he would definitely beat him up and let him know why the flowers are so red.

Uncle Ishida adopted the same coping method as Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki, that is, ignore. . .

"Oh, that's good." Uncle Ishida just replied lightly, and there was no more to say, making Kiyoshi Sakamoto unable to pretend anymore.

The embarrassing Kiyoshi Sakamoto had no choice but to force this wave to his heart and pretended it.

"By the way, the company asked when you will go back?" Uncle Ishida asked Sakamoto Kiyoshi when he saw Kiyoshi getting serious.

"Huh? Is there something wrong with the company? Is there something wrong with Ogawa and the others?" Although Kiyoshi Sakamoto is in the United States, he still cares about the band THE SUN in RB.

"No, it seems to be about you."

"Oh? About me? Then I'll go back the day after tomorrow. I want to visit a place tomorrow." Kiyoshi Sakamoto breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it wasn't about the two of Ogawa. Then he thought about it and decided to go back to RB. time.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Uncle Ishida was curious.

“Blue Bird Cafe.”

"Bluebird Café? What are you doing there?"

"Go and listen to the music. It's a gathering place for Nashville composers." The first time Kiyoshi Sakamoto came to Nashville, he asked the locals what good places to go about this place. Someone said this "Blue Bird Cafe" is a gathering place for composers in Nashville. Kiyoshi Sakamoto remembered it and thought about going to see it after the performance.

After all, if you come to the birthplace of American country music and don't listen to the works of local composers, doesn't it mean you haven't been here?
So, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is going to see this tomorrow, the "Blue Bird Cafe" highly recommended by the locals.

　The folk rock that I have been listening to in high school has a sunny taste.If you think it looks good, just blow a wave of the author in the discussion area, the author doesn't mind!
