A certain band sang this song under such circumstances.
Many people in later generations recalled that it was this song that gave them the courage and strength to continue to survive. Some even said that it was this song that pulled them back from the edge of the rooftop.
Try to live a few more days, give it a try, just try a little harder.
It is hard to say whether a song can really give people the courage to reverse the financial crisis sweeping the country.
But this song did have a huge impact at the time. In the education sector, it was chosen as the gymnastics song for colleges and universities, the entrance march for school baseball tournaments, and was included in high school music textbooks. In the sports sector, it was the cheering song for the Japanese delegation at the Winter Olympics. It was played over and over again on major TV programs. In the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, the disaster relief project was named the "Don't Give Up Project," and this song was sung in the disaster area.
In many cases, it has replaced the occasions when the national anthem should be played and is called the second national anthem.
But Ling didn't know all this. As a neighboring country across the strait, she had heard this song and had an impression of it. This fact itself proved that this song was a classic.
Whether you know it or not is actually not important.
"I don't know why it was sung in the past, but now, it's probably to avoid losing to the Ultra Beasts and the Aliens, right?"
Just try a little harder and don't give up.
Chapter 150 Warm-up Rehearsal
"It is certain that this song has never been sung."
Takasu Production has logged into the library of registered songs and searched for lyrics one by one, but found no similar songs. The same is true for sheet music.
He was holding the complete sheet music that Miss Daishige had handed over. Reiya had memorized the sheet music and lyrics after returning home yesterday. With Reiya's knowledge of music theory and his memory enhanced by Gaia, this was not difficult.
Of course, she only memorized the main melody. The accompaniment of this song was played by a whole orchestra. The scores of each part were a thick stack, so she certainly couldn't remember them. Only Beethoven or Mozart could memorize the whole song after listening to it a few times. In her previous life, she was just an amateur with seven years of experience until high school. Flute, violin, piano, these were her hobbies, nothing else.
Gao Xu has realized that Ling's vow to use his song yesterday was not an impulse, but the song had been prepared long ago. Compared with the willful act of the eldest lady, this is undoubtedly more acceptable.
Although Ling also said that this was not a song she composed, it didn't matter. Takasu didn't think that a primary school student could write such a song. With the status of the Oshima family, even if a national-level composer came out to write a song, Takasu would be able to accept it.
What’s important is that this song has never been registered. That’s enough. Legally speaking, it is an original song and there will be no disputes.
"Since there is no problem with the copyright, there will be no problem with other things."
This is indeed a good song, Takasu could already feel it even just by looking at the music score.
He couldn't say definitively how good the song was. After all, it wasn't a finished product yet. The accompaniment band and the singer's coordination and performance were all very important factors. Takasu couldn't determine the final effect based on his imagination alone, but at least he could be sure that this song was better than the one he had prepared for Reiya in advance.
Well, it's much better.
"But, facing the aliens and the super beasts, don't give in. Isn't this theme a bit too big?"
"Ha, that's what she said yesterday."
It is indeed too big. Among humans, only TAC team is qualified to sing such a song, right? I feel that this song is actually not bad as a cheering song for TAC team.
The only one who can be more compatible with the TAC team is Ultraman. But Ultraman is not a human, so how can he sing?
Takasu Production couldn't imagine the Giant of Light appearing at the Tokyo Budokan with a microphone, and he was amused by the scene he imagined.
"In fact, as a spin-off concert of Cardcaptor Sakura, we should just say that we should not give up in the face of the difficulties created by the Clow Cards."
There is no need to deliberately promote empty and unrealistic ideas, just be down-to-earth. The song is a good song, and promotion is equally important.
"But Miss Oshima..."
"It doesn't matter. It's just a child's impulse. Just do what I say and spread the word."
Since Takasu Production said so, Daishige couldn't refute it. After all, he was a general producer, so maybe he was right.
Takasu turned the pen as usual and stared at the score for a long while. The young lady had clearly stated that the score only contained the main melody, and the overall accompaniment score was missing. He would need to complete the scores for the various parts of the entire band.
He was even more certain that it was a work created as a hobby by some ace or even national-level composer.
The main theme of the song is positivity, encouragement, and hope, and a rock style is recommended. It is very challenging, but Gao Xu is willing to accept the job.
"By the way, Ms. Daishige, please inform Sakura, and the other two ladies, that Virgo has asked to rehearse in advance for the concert in a month, and we need to arrange a time to meet."
"Rehearsal? A friendly warm-up also needs a rehearsal?"
Although it's not to say that it's absolutely impossible, but considering Virgo's current popularity, warming up for a fan support concert is already too much. Just showing up and performing is enough to give face, but rehearsing in advance seems to be too important and has a bit of a flattering meaning.
"Is it because of the Big Island?"
"This has nothing to do with us." Whether Virgo wanted to rely on the Oshima family was their business, and Takasu was unwilling to comment.
"It was that 'Virgo Goddess' Apsalar who took the initiative to propose it. We just need to make arrangements for the meeting and prepare the venue. You and the three people on Sakura's side will decide on a time and let me know. I will confirm and communicate with 'Virgo'."
"Ok, I see."
"Also, since the two songs "Don't Give Up" and "Fruits Candy" have been confirmed, relevant preparations should also begin, such as recording the accompaniment and running-in with the singers. Oshima and Daidoji don't have agents, so you'll need to pay more attention to them. It will be a busy period, Miss Daishige, so you have to be prepared."
"Please rest assured, I am also a professional agent." Dazhong said confidently.
Compared to going to the bar every day to pick up someone's "corpse", Dazhong is willing to be busy like this. This is the job of a manager that she used to dream of. It's like her dream of becoming a singer has come true.
Virgo Band, another performance. The crowds are huge.
Although they had already performed at the Budokan, the band members did not relax in the face of the usual performances. After playing for an hour and a half with all their strength, everyone was exhausted.
This is rock and roll, its fatal attraction. This era is the golden age of rock and roll.
"The agent said that there will be another commercial performance next week." In the lounge backstage, Lian handed a bottle of drink to Apsalar.
Generally speaking, although commercial performances are not high-end, they pay the highest. Of course, with the popularity of Virgo, the commercial performances she takes on are all big brands. On the one hand, the salary is higher, and on the other hand, she is afraid that small brands have defects in their products. Commercial performances advertise the sponsor's products, and if something goes wrong, she may be implicated.
"Who is the sponsor?"
Lian pointed to the drink that Apsalar took.
"this one?"
"Yes, the agent just brought it. It's free."
"Ha, I thought you were kind enough to buy it for me." Apsalar laughed, but she didn't mind. She unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. "Hmm, a little too sweet, but it tastes good."
She likes sweetness. Humans always regard "sweetness" as the taste of happiness, which is deeply engraved in their genes, so she also tries to do so. I have to say, this is an interesting thing. It makes her mistakenly think that she is also a human who was born and raised in this land.
"Apsaraer, we talked about rehearsing for the warm-up performance for that concert. Did you discuss this with Sanmu Company?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
No problem, the agent is also very supportive, after all, being able to connect with the guy from the Oshima Group is simply a good thing that I never thought of. But Lian doesn't think Apsalar is such a person.
"You clearly didn't even want to go to warm up before."
"I changed my mind."
Looking at the girl who suddenly stopped smiling, Lian suddenly felt a little strange.
"Did something happen?" Lian had just asked when he saw Apsalar staring at him, which made his heart skip a beat.
But the girl quickly turned her eyes away.
"Nothing special." She just had to do something. Even if she didn't want to, she had no other choice. She was the will of the planet, the Virgo goddess, and she had no right to act willfully. She had to be responsible for her planet.
That's it.
"The agent said that Takasu Production from Sanmu Entertainment just came to communicate with us and they have arranged a rehearsal for this Saturday. The location is at the Park Stadium."
On Saturday at the Park Stadium, Apsalar, who received the information, nodded.
"Ok, I see."
She had no expression on her face and no one knew what she was thinking.
"No problem? But we clearly agreed before that this Saturday..."
"This is more important." Apsalar interrupted him. She and Lian looked at each other. To outsiders, it seemed like a young couple suddenly had a conflict. But Lian knew that they were not a couple, and she probably had never entered each other's heart.
They were just band mates, nothing more.
"I'm sorry, Lian."
"No, it's okay, I understand. That's a small matter, work is more important. I'll talk to my agent and confirm it with Sanmu Company."
Looking at Lian who was leaving in a hurry, Apsalar suppressed the throbbing in her heart. It was indeed a small matter, compared to the fact that she was going to harm the mother planet where Lian was born and grew up.
But she didn't even have the right to say sorry.
After taking another sip of the drink in her hand, Apsara suddenly felt that it had no taste. She hugged her knees and sat on the stool for a long time.
Ling also received a notice from Miss Dazhong after school the next day, Monday.
"Thank you very much, Miss Dazhong, for making you make an extra trip."
She felt deeply the inconvenience of not having a mobile phone.
Although Ling also has a mobile phone, Miss Daishige does not. Although Chiyo's mother can ask the company to make a few more, it has no practical significance.
You don’t know how wonderful something is until you experience it; you don’t know how to cherish it until you lose it.
Ling missed her previous life's mobile phone more than once, she missed her WeChat, QQ, and the camera function that used to be insignificant in her mobile phone, otherwise she would have uploaded the sacred tree of Izumo and the river in the secret realm to her space and circle of friends. She also missed Plants vs. Zombies and Miracle Nikki, and the apps that she used to take for granted.
Ling lamented the thought that it would take another 40 years before she could meet these apps, as she was almost 50 years old.
This shouldn't be happening, she wants the phone and she wants it now.
It was a pity that she didn't have the golden finger to make high-tech products when she traveled through time. But it didn't matter, fortunately she had money. In this world, money can solve most problems. If it can't be solved, it's just because the ground hasn't been broken enough.
Of course, it might be a little weird if the world became like that.
What to do if you encounter a monster?
Don't panic, let me take a picture and upload it to my Moments. Look, Baltan, give me a V sign, let's take a photo!

Chapter 151 Cell Phone
The flowers and plants in the garden of Daidoji Temple have withered a lot.
This was because winter was approaching. The flowers and plants in the fields had all withered, so it was strange that a garden like Lingye's could still remain beautiful.
"Reiya's house is indeed the best. I really want to move there." Tomoyo just sighed like this, of course it was a joke.
But Ling came to Zhishi's house today, not to look for Zhishi.
"Looking for my mother? But I don't know when she will be able to come home."
Ling also glanced at the wall clock. It was already half past seven, which was usually past dinner time.
It wasn't that she happened to be away from home today. For Odaiji Sonomi, she spent even less time at home. Sometimes she would not be able to return home until late at night, so it was common for Chise to not see her mother for a week on weekdays. Instead, the maids and bodyguards at home spent more time with her.
