Game Market 1983

< EP. 41: D-125 (2) >

[Full Blast D-125.]

I mean, maybe I know someone who's quick to notice, but...

The day she debuted was the day of the launch of 'Complete Raon’.

&

Only a few of the Pentagon employees knew Kanna existed, and her song began to spread slowly to the beginning of the disaster.

At first, those who didn't even realize that song was a game thought it was just a ‘cheerleader’ for migrants composed by a singer.

However, the feeling of the song being delivered from the lyrics made me feel like it not only cared for migrants but also cared for the day of those who had done the hard work.

Kanna's original story is about people coming home at the end of the day.

I was hoping that her vent music and sweet voice would bring something fabulous, but I didn't think it would be this good...

The day I got my first tape from Kanna.

I remember looking at each other's faces when I first heard the song on tape with Yuki back home.

Kishimori Kanna.

She had a genius sense as a singer-songwriter, as she proved in the end song of God's gift.

When I tested her recording to Mr. Terrada, HaranQ's vocalist, he also admired Kanna.

“Brilliant. Truly a genius!! because few singers I know are as good at lyrics as she is. And even the dark-appealing Voice... this kind of music will happen in the streets at the same time as the announcement. ”

“A miracle? ”

At that time, I didn't really understand what he was saying.

Mr. Terrada had a big, slightly overreacting reaction to the officials, but it was more than that...

“Is this like the miracle Mr. Terrada was talking about? ”

Me and Maurita, who had just delivered a promotional CD to a fairly large game shop in Dendentown, Osaka, were watching people's reactions while drinking coffee at an outdoor table in a nearby cafe.

After opening the store for the first time, the clerk tilted his head and played music to the CD player installed in front of the store, a quiet vent beat flowed through the speakers.

And after a while. Kanna's voice echoes through the streets, and the people on the road start to stop one by one.

“Huh? What... Never heard of yellow? ”

“So who's the singer? I love that song."

Those haunted by Kanna's high-pitched voice from the speakers gathered in front of the game shop. Then, even the clerk who just played the CD was dumbfounded, listening to her song, and he surprised the people who had just arrived.

“Director... this? ”

“Wait, let's wait a little longer. ”

I said with my finger in my mouth, the voice of Morita calling me with a embarrassing look. Can I honestly just listen to someone's music like I'm possessed by something like this?

“Hey, there's music coming from the speakers. Who is the singer?”

“Yes? Well, I don't really know. I brought you a promotional CD from Pentagon Soft...”

Then customers who heard the shopkeeper's story began to talk speculatively.

“If it's a Pentagon, isn't it a gaming company? ”

“That's right. And he's famous for volunteering in the Kobe area of recent earthquakes. Then why are you promoting this music? Are you trying to start an entertainment business? ”

“Oh... you can't be just promoting a new game. God's gift used to be about music. ”

“Huh? What if it's a new game this time of year...? It can't be...”

“Complete Raon!? ”

The two men who were talking in front of the shop asked the cashier with an urgent look on their faces.

“It can't be that CD. Is this a new game made in the Pentagon? ”

The clerk scratched the back of his head with an embarrassing face and was consistent with the customer's question again.

Well, of course not, because we didn't really explain CDs...

Of course, promoting with 'Complete Raon’ would be doubly effective, but more than that, I wanted people to listen to Kanna's song without any prejudice.

At that time, the cashier, who only answered that he didn't know all the questions, lifted his head and asked the customer.

“You know, if you have clients who want CDs, do you need them to distribute, like, 50 of them from the Pentagon? ”

“ · · · · · ·. You should have said that sooner!! Give it to me now!! ”

“Me too!! ”

“Me too!! ”

After a while, the cashier glances at the frozen chest, slightly tilting his head and muttering to himself.

“Oh, I... I should've taken mine...”

Having swallowed coffee with Kanna's cheerful voice echoing under the moody spring sun, I raised one jiggly tail towards those who were returning with my promotional mini CD in their hands.

&

The first flare of the Virtual Idol project, themed 'Cheerleader’ for you, has been successfully orbited.

Kanna's song will soon be heard by people in Kobe, Osaka. Then we went through Kyoto and Nagoya and came to Tokyo. She was giving birth to a landscape that was waiting in line to get this CD distributed in small quantities to the regional gaming shops about 3-4 days apart.

The promotional CD, which was about one-third larger than the regular CD, was a mini-disk often used by normal singers to contain 1-2 songs, and the vertical CD cover had a silhouette illustration of Kanna as an image.

Is it because it is not sold separately to a general record store, but only made and distributed from promotional discs, so it is rumored to be ‘rare’? People's reactions were extremely explosive.

In Akiba's Pentagon shop, I sprinkled about 500 CDs in all 1,2 stores, but I threw them all away in less than an hour.

Of course, if you're thinking of users looking for the Pentagon, we should probably prepare a lot more...

This is a promotional CD.

Rather than spraying generous quantities, the effect can be doubled.

Many guests came from afar expecting a large quantity of Pentagon shops, but they were not the only ones to complain about the free CDs.

I turned my eyes to a couple of people walking around Akihabara like zombies, just in case there weren't any CDs left in the game store.

“Ahhh!! Nothing!! Nothing else!! Nowhere!! ”

“H-calm down, Nakamura. Huh?”

“I told you to come early in the morning. I knew it.”

“So I've told you many times that I didn't get it right!! I had a situation!! ”

Now, the man who appeared to be a freshly college student looked like heaven was about to fall because he said that all the ‘Virtue Idol’ promotional CDs had run out.

From the conversation I heard, I tried to come early in the morning, but it was too late because there was a situation on the woman's side.

He was a fan of the Pentagon Soft guy. He was surrounded by a Dragon Emblem backpack that could be exchanged for Goods item points for a Raon Soft.

‘Scream... There was no one else who actually wore that...?' ’

Anyway, the man was asking Miyazaki, the manager, if he was very unfair, but she had no choice as long as she didn't have one or two such guests.

Finally, after a few moments of restlessness, the man left the store with a face that lost everything in the world.

“Nakamura... I'm sorry. Huh? I'm angry...”

“No, it's okay. There's nothing I can do. I'll stop by the Saitama Gameshop tomorrow or the day after tomorrow... But if I can't, I'll definitely go to Hokkaido and save him. ”

... Hokkaido is a bit over the top when it comes to shuttle fares...?

“Oh, really. A little manly... will you keep doing that? What song are you so desperate to save? If you want to save it like that, Fukushima has relatives living there. I'll ask him to save me. He's probably in the country. He'll save you in no time. ”

“S-really? ”

The man smiled as soon as his girlfriend said so.

Just then, Kanna's voice begins to come from the speakers installed in the Pentagon Shop.

You've had a hard day.

A day like that when you don't do anything at all.

I know your sad heart...

You've been a very busy day.

A day like that where you can't even breathe.

I understand how you feel!

At that moment, the man's face was lively and he turned his eyes to the speakers. Then he flicked his finger lightly and said to his girlfriend.

“Oh!! Yeah, this song!! ”

“This song...? How nice.”

The girlfriend seems to be focusing on the sound of the music coming from the speakers with her eyes closed for a moment.

I was bored, but I looked at her as she was listening to music with one hand clenched her chin.

“What do you think, Mayumi? You like the song, right?”

A girl with a slight red face with a bright smile nodded, pretending not to win.

Hmm... By the way, that guy is quite handsome. Big eyes and a nice nose. I think women like him better than men.

But you don't seem to know much. He's a typical milkman.

“Th-that's okay. Yeah, it's not bad, to be honest. But…”

“But…? What?”

“I think I've heard a lot of voices before. Nakamura, right? ”

“Well... anyway...”

“Really? Look at that. Aren't you?”

“Gift of God... sounds like the voice of a singer with an ending song...”

That's not a good answer. If it's Yuki, it's Jean.

Phew!!

... Yeah... Somehow I thought I'd get hit soon. Watching them, I burst into laughter as if I were watching a scene from Sitcom.

“Hey! Blind spot! Do you have a game in your head? Not that, Kanna. Our friend Kishimori Kanna!! ”

Did you just say Kanna?

The man's back smashing is hard to reach, and he grimaces and bites back.

“Kanna? Why would Kanna sing in a place like this? Wait a minute. I think that's what you're saying. I'm pretty sure I'm familiar with that voice. ”

“Right? Right!? This is Kanna's voice, right? ”

Huh...? Are they... Kanna's friends?
