Chapter 54 Blue Bird Cafe

While waiting for westlife to end the performance, the time has unknowingly come to eleven o'clock in the evening.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi and westlife, after returning to the hotel, held a small party to celebrate the success of the show.

The people of Nashville still welcome the boy group Westlife.

There are almost 4 people sitting in the Nissan Stadium, which is already a very good result. After all, this is the United States, not their base camp, the United Kingdom.

What's special is that in the song performed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the cheers and applause were the loudest in the whole concert.

This is a bit embarrassing. Kiyoshi Sakamoto, as a guest, is actually more popular than the protagonist.

However, the few people in Westlife didn't care, because they had always had a dispensable attitude towards entering the US market. After all, the UK was their territory, so they didn't care at all about Kiyoshi Sakamoto stealing the limelight. Use this to tease Sakamoto Kiyoshi, saying that he can even make his debut in the United States.

Westlife joked, the speaker had no intention, but the listener was interested. Uncle Ishida thinks this can be considered. Uncle Ishida is going to propose to the company whether to let Kiyoshi Sakamoto release a single in the United States to test the waters. . .

Sakamoto Kiyoshi also thinks this idea is good, after all, Sakamoto Kiyoshi released his first single a year ago.It's been a year, and it's time to release a new single, otherwise, the high popularity and attention accumulated in the record awards will slowly fade away.

Now is indeed the best time to release a new single, but it depends on how the company arranges it. After all, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is "Sony's own son", and Sony will not fail to see the best time to release a single.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi said, everything, let's talk about it when we return to RB.

In the morning of the next day, because westlife and the others were going to the next stop to continue their global tour, after bidding farewell to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, they took the plane and left in a hurry.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's destination today is the Blue Bird Cafe, a gathering place for composers in Nashville.

Uncle Ishida, the manager, wanted to go back to the company to help Kiyoshi Sakamoto deal with the payment for the first single "Close Your Eyes Lightly", so he took a plane and went back to China first, leaving Kiyoshi Sakamoto alone in Nash ville.

For Sakamoto Kiyoshi, Uncle Ishida is very relieved. After all, Sakamoto Kiyoshi is a 12-year-old boy who has already traveled alone, let alone him who is now 15 years old.

The Bluebird Café, Bluebird Cafe.

Tucked away in a low-key high street, this café has an unassuming storefront, but step inside and you'll notice the warm, understated vibe it's been known for.

In Nashville, there are singing places everywhere: bars, cafes, restaurants, shopping malls, and even in the center of the square, the favorite place of square dance aunts. As long as there are musical instruments and feelings, you can get high anytime, anywhere.

The most famous cafe is the Blue Bird Cafe.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Kiyoshi Sakamoto walked around Fifth Avenue, ate something, asked the exact location of the Blue Bird Cafe, and walked slowly over.

After walking for 10 minutes, Kiyoshi Sakamoto finally came to the Bluebird Cafe.

Looking at the small area in front of me, there is no signboard, but "The Bluebird Café" is written on the sunshade tent, which means that this is the famous cafe.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto opened the door of the store and walked in.

As soon as I entered, the heater inside was still on. After all, it was only February, and the United States in the northern hemisphere was generally still relatively cold.

After Sakamoto Kiyoshi came in, his attention was immediately attracted by a man who sang in the cafe.

After asking the clerk for a cappuccino, Kiyoshi Sakamoto took the coffee and sat on the table next to the resident singing stage, and began to enjoy the performance of the resident singer.

It may be because it was morning, and there were still relatively few people in the cafe, which can seat dozens of people, but now there are only seven or eight people sitting here and there.

At this time, on the resident singing stage, a handsome foreign guy about 30 years old was tuning the guitar, and occasionally played a few times. From Sakamoto Kiyoshi's ears, he was a professional.

When Kiyoshi Sakamoto just took a sip of coffee, the handsome guy seemed to have adjusted the sound, and said to the rocking microphone standing on the stage, "Haha, it's my turn today, Parker, to perform for everyone, please support us."

After finishing speaking, all the guests in the cafe burst into applause, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto gave his biggest applause without hesitation, and even alarmed Parker on the stage.

Parker turned his head, saw the strange face of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, smiled at him, and said, "It seems that today, another friend who loves music from afar came to our Blue Bird. Well, Next, please listen to me bringing you my own song, "never""

Applause again.

Little Parker, please start your show.

Parker started playing the guitar and started singing on stage.

At this time, in the Blue Bird Cafe, no one spoke, and even the sound of breathing could hardly be heard.Only Brother Parker's singing is left in this space, surrounding it.

The song "never" sung by Parker is a standard country folk song. The tunes all sound very brisk. With Parker's pretty good voice, it sounds like it can be given a good score.However, it still hasn't reached the level where it can become popular.

This is Sakamoto Kiyoshi's impression after listening to the song halfway through.

But that’s right, if he had great potential, he wouldn’t be a resident singer in a cafe now, he would have made his debut long ago. In Nashville, the birthplace of country music, there are Parkers like him everywhere, dreaming of one day , a country singer-in-residence who can make his debut.

Keep listening, and a few minutes later, an original song from Parker, "Never," ends.

Even though the song was not very good, relatively flat and nothing new, Kiyoshi Sakamoto still gave Parker his biggest applause.

Brother Parker on the stage thanked Kiyoshi Sakamoto for his support, and suddenly asked Kiyoshi Sakamoto, "Hey, boy, you applaud very loudly. Do you think I sing well?"

Sakamoto Kiyoshi did not expect that Parker on the stage would ask himself, he was a little confused, but he still answered politely, "Well, it's pretty good, especially your guitar, you play it very well!"

"Oh? Can you also play the guitar?" Parker was a little surprised. The Asian boy in front of him seemed to be hiding something.

"Well, a little bit." In foreign countries, Kiyoshi Sakamoto still felt that it would be better not to be so arrogant, so he said modestly.

"Then come up and play, let me see how you play." Handsome Parker greeted Kiyoshi Sakamoto and asked him to come on stage.

The only seven or eight customers in the store also booed and asked Kiyoshi Sakamoto to go up.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt that you told me to go up, so I went up to have fun, and it didn't cost money anyway, so he put down the coffee in his hand and went up.

Taking the guitar from Parker, Kiyoshi Sakamoto first checked the brand of the guitar, Gibson's, then held down the F chord, strummed the strings with his fingers, and suddenly a crisp guitar sound came out.

Then Kiyoshi Sakamoto began to bounce.

The fingers of the right hand are raised and lowered, strumming the strings quickly, and the frets held by the left hand are also changed very quickly. Waves of beautiful guitar melodies flow continuously from the sound hole of this Gibson guitar, like a slowly flowing musical stream. out.

The guests present and Parker next to Kiyoshi Sakamoto stared dumbfounded at this Asian boy, who skillfully played a beautiful guitar piece on this small stage.

A few minutes later, an original guitar piece by Kiyoshi Sakamoto finished the performance.

"Where's the applause?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto was too immersed in the guitar solo just now, and didn't pay attention to the atmosphere of the scene. Only then did he realize that the performance is over, why is there no one applauding?

I glanced at the guests in the audience, and found that they were all sitting there blankly, looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto in surprise.When Sakamoto Kiyoshi turned his head and saw Parker's expression, Sakamoto Kiyoshi knew that he had played off.

At this time, the guests seemed to have recovered from the crash, and suddenly, the entire cafe burst into loud applause.

On the other hand, Parker stared at Kiyoshi Sakamoto with an expression of disbelief.

Suddenly, Parker put his hands on Kiyoshi Sakamoto's shoulders, looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto with "wretched" eyes, and said, "Hey, buddy, have you signed a contract with the company?"

Before Kiyoshi Sakamoto could answer, Parker held onto Kiyoshi Sakamoto's shoulder tightly and continued, "How do you sing?"

Seeing Parker's excited expression, Sakamoto please know that his guitar skills are so good that he scared this brother and the guests present, but since they are all scared, how about scaring them?

So Kiyoshi Sakamoto first answered Parker's second question, "Can sing."

"Then can you sing a song?" At this time, the handsome Parker was already thinking in his mind how to help his brother and sign the Asian boy in front of him.

"OK."

Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought about it, and lazily chose "I'm Yours" that he sang yesterday.

The guitar blares, and the vocals flow with it.

The 4-minute "I'm Yours" is neither long nor short, and the song ended before Parker and the guests could get more immersed in the song.

This time, everyone who heard Sakamoto Qing singing remembered to applaud, and they clapped and whistled at the same time, and some directly praised.

And Parker, who was sitting next to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, was almost fainted from happiness.

"This is a talented singer. Although he is Asian, the language is not a problem, and the guitar song just now, and this song, I seem to have never heard of it. Could it be that he created it himself?!! No, Such a good seed, we must recommend him to Scott!" Parker was full of this.

However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi's words shattered his fantasy.

"Hey, Parker, I forgot to answer you just now, I have already signed the company."

　It is very dangerous to crack down recently, but thank you for continuing to read my book, I love you all!
