Firstly, I aimed for a classic hit duet song by a boss (52 years old) and his female employee (around 23 years old), at a karaoke snack gathering after a company department drinking party.<br> | |||
Then, her cruel father used it as a conversation tool with his daughter, | |||
Father "Father, I've recently listened to trance..."<br> | |||
Daughter "Oh, OK. That's great." | |||
And, I hope you'll be able to use this pattern for every blunt greeting. | |||

↑ Wow! Is that so.<br> | |||
As expected of him. Everything he thinks of, exceeds the imagination of our staff. I tried to express the short animations from the worldview of the lyrics.<br> | |||
I was overwhelmed by the power of this song and lyrics. | |||

As I was creating this video, some story came to my mind. | |||
Cast | |||
Hiroshi (temporary name): 38 years old<br> | |||
Chiiko (temporary name): 37 years old<br> | |||
The bartender and president: 58 years old | |||
Iwate is located in extremely cold Tohoku. Born as the (third) son of a fisherman, his mother disappeared with another man, and his father was a very heavy drinker who was always violent.<br> | |||
As he grew up in a poor and difficult environment, the dazzling, gorgeous entertainment and music shows shown on his run-down TV were his only purpose in life. Eventually... someday, he'll become BIG!<br> | |||
He spent his adolescence abandoning such aspirations, when he finally went to Tokyo at age 18.<br> | |||
Continuing to "stroll" on the street corner while searching for his dreams. During that time, he encountered one of his fans named Chiiko (who was 17 years old at that time), and married her.<br> | |||
Since then, they both wrote and performed various songs. Instead of using demo tapes, they went and performed their own songs, from major record companies to small offices about to be bankrupt, but no one signed them. Such lifestyle continued for five years, while they worked part time.<br> | |||
After turning 35, Hiroshi, who was discouraged by his dreams, became completely drunk and violent towards Chiiko. Their household finances were dire, and Chiiko's part time job was their only source of income. Even with such low money, Hiroshi spent it on alcohol. Although this resembled the behavior of his father, whom he hated the most, he didn't realize it.<br> | |||
Chiiko lost her affection for Hiroshi and almost divorced him many times, but she was a good wife and also had the strength to endure poverty.<br> | |||
I need to support him. Chiiko offers Hiroshi a microphone. He remembered the microphone from when they first practiced together in a four tatami mat room at Kanda River, where they first lived.<br> | |||
Hiroshi cried. Then, he went to the park by himself and shouted. It was just like the cries of his dreams he vowed for during his adolescence. Once again... once again, I...!<br> | |||
The unusual appearance of Hiroshi, who was in his late 30s, while surrounded by teenagers on the street corner, was a strange sight for many people walking on the street. However, there was definitely a powerful attachment to life feeling in his voice, which wasn't found in today's youth.<br> | |||
A man came closer to that song. That man who appeared in front of Hiroshi was the "deluxe" president of a major record company. Hey. Why don't you try singing it for those at home? From that invitation which seemed like a hallucination, Hiroshi couldn't help but see God from the light appearing on the president's bald spot.<br> | |||
Before he knew it, he was 38 years old. He finally entered the BIG path. Chiiko also entered the stage with Hiroshi, and toured around many places. From their steady efforts, Hiroshi & Chiiko's duet was a big hit, with a million sales across Japan. Hiroshi's life now reached the climax.<br> | |||
Hiroshi, who wore nice clothes in his hometown, performed in a town near the fishing village where he was born and raised. Of course Chiiko appeared next to him. Surrounded by super fans across many generations, this very successful performance was on the final day, and was held at a karaoke bar outside the town. Then, Hiroshi saw something unbelievable.<br> | |||
It was incredible. Although he was quite old, his cheeks were thin, and his head was completely pale, his father was there as a bartender. Come to think of it, he never left this place and tried to contact me even once.<br> | |||
Seeing his father, Hiroshi welled up with various emotions. After somewhat discussing stories of his past, a hit song "System romance" started playing from the karaoke in the store. The father nodded and led Hiroshi & Chiiko to the stage, where he grabbed the host's microphone.<br> | |||
"Well, let's have them sing. Hiroshi & Chiiko..."<br> | |||
A single tear trickled down the father's cheek. | |||
<br> | |||
<br> | |||
