“I don’t know how that sounds, but…”
said Harry in a slightly embarrassed voice.
“It seems to be difficult to be intuitive. To be honest, the reason why I chose the title of the show was because I wanted to make the ‘classic’ image that people receive from this show even a little less.”
“Why?”
“Because the concept of a classic would only be a minus point for people in many ways.”
There was not the slightest hesitation in Harry’s voice when he said that. he shrugged.
“Think of a title like ‘The Orchestra’ or ‘Descendants of Beethoven’. What kind of floor would want to watch this broadcast? It won’t be easy unless you’re a fan of classics.”
“······We broadcast about classical music, but classical music itself is a minus point. Do you think you are secretly reprimanding me?”

Kane smiled and looked at Harry. Harry replied boldly.
“I want you to know in advance. What a challenge this is. The question is whether the fruit is as sweet as it is difficult…”
Harry grinned.
“Still, I think we can film a pretty interesting broadcast.”
After receiving the data from Kane the other day, Harry had a headache of his own. On the surface, Kane was a person who withdrew from the front line. As such, nothing would happen right away by rejecting his offer, and Kane wasn’t one to be like that, but it was inevitable that he would stop pinning his hopes on Harry again.
‘I don’t know what Mr. Kane saw in me…’
Harry wasn’t the type to give himself too much credit, but he had to live up to Kane. Because he was the biggest contributor to raising Wolf Company into the best broadcasting station in America.
And Kane told me to try it. said there was a possibility. Of course, that one word won’t turn all the impossible into possible like some magic spell. However, at least that word implied that the possibility of success clearly existed.
So Harry thought and thought again and again after that. He conceived of how to utilize this material distance given to him to achieve the most ideal broadcast. And the answer he got at the end was really primitive and simple.
“… It’s a classic showdown.”
“Isn’t the performance competition a custom that has been maintained for a very long time?”
“yes. Although at some point I wanted that culture to almost disappear.”
It was a composition created based on the fact that great men such as Beethoven, Bach, and Chopin had a performance competition here and there. Harry sought the cooperation of all music schools across America. And there were more universities than expected that responded to them.
“All the music students who claim to be in America will gather. Of course, it may not be right now, but as the season goes on, more and more it will feel like a mistake not to be on the show. It will be a program that produces star performers every year.”
“In a way, it’s like creating another contest…”
“Not just the performance scene, but the focus will be on the life and personality of the performer one by one. It’s not a performance by someone who suddenly comes out of the backstage. It is a performance by someone who knows what he likes, who he is dating, whose son he is, where he came from…”
That was Harry’s question. Why can’t people enjoy classical music? Is it because the sound of classical music is boring at all? However, in my view, classical music, which is sometimes inserted in movies, etc., has captured people’s hearts very well.
The conclusion he came to was: There is nothing wrong with classical music. There is a problem with the way the music is directed. Just as people gather when there is a street performer even if the performance is not so great, if you are given a reason to bring them to the stage… it is not that difficult to make them an audience for classical music.
Perhaps his program may really lead to the revival of classical music.
“…and this friend. I personally did some research… it was quite interesting.”
“Roun Lee?”
“yes. Even in high school, it is said that he showed poor skills compared to college. Then, just before graduation, my skills improved and I am continuing to win and win.”
“Hmm… can you catch the story?”
“I think everyone has enough stories already. The question is, whose story is the most attractive?”
Who can captivate the public?
Who has star qualities.
who will be the protagonist
Some might say so. Where is the main character in variety shows? But there are protagonists. Both in entertainment and in the world. And even if Harry didn’t particularly want to focus on the main character, the unique aura that the main character had would eventually captivate the broadcast… viewers.
“Let’s go ahead.”
Kane smiled.
“I look forward to it. How far will this old music reach in America?”

“Anton. Are you really going out?”
“huh. to get out.”
“……Are you okay? Tchaikovsky Competition, you’ve been dreaming of for a long time.”
“I thought this would be more interesting than the Tchaikovsky Competition.”
Anton smiled. The course registration page appeared on his tablet PC. And the class he’s applying for is ‘The Musicians.’ It was a courtesy broadcast.
Looking at Anton like that, Linda looked at him with a somewhat disapproving expression, then slowly leaned her head on his shoulder.
“It’s all because of him.”
“He?”
“theory! The friend who won the LA Concours! The other day, I heard that that friend was participating here. Didn’t you hear that?”
“I can’t say no.”
“Why do you care so much about him?”
“······Hmm. well. Why?”
Anton pondered. And then he replied with a smile.
“I don’t know.”
“······I don’t even know why, but you’re going to give up the Tchaikovsky Competition and appear on a program without foundation like this?”
“Linda. No matter how new it is, it is a broadcast made by Wolf Station. It won’t be at a level without fundamentals.”
“anyway! You don’t have to waste this precious time right now.”
“For now, trust me. I feel like this is how it should be. And paying attention to that friend… it’s not that you do it for no reason, it’s that you don’t know why.”
Linda looked at Anton with a puzzled expression. Anton said, staring into space.
“When I see something with Ron… I just feel that way. Ah, I need to feel more of this friend’s music. I want to know more. There seems to be some kind of treasure hidden there.”
“······why?”
“I didn’t know that, so I said I didn’t know. It’s just a hunch. You can’t help but feel it when you listen to that friend’s performance.”
“I really don’t know…”
Linda sighed, then raised her head as if she had made up her mind. Then he picked up his phone and started tapping something hard. And after a while, the same page on Anton’s screen appeared on Linda’s screen.
“Okay, I signed up for the course too.”
“······are you okay? You said you were going on a trip to Italy this summer.”
“It’s a trip, you can go later. But I think you need someone to give you some advice right now. If you do stupid things, you need someone to punch you.”
“Heh heh… Am I that kind of image?”
Anton laughed and scratched his head. Linda kissed Anton’s forehead and placed her hands on his cheeks.
“You won’t hate me even if you get hit later, right?”
“I will make sure that doesn’t happen.”
“good.”
Linda nodded, then clenched her fists.
“Let’s smash it. That Ron or something!”

“Why are my ears tickling so much?”
Rowoon scratched his ear and frowned. Recently, there have been many days when my ears tickled like this. When I wash, I’m sure I’m washing everything neatly here and there. Could it be that I am allergic? I couldn’t tell.
‘Is it because I live with earphones plugged in so often these days…’
Rowoon sighed as he thought so. I always did my best to find earphones that fit my ears, but in the end, I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable at some point when I used earphones.
“Oh, Rowoon. Are you leaving? The Musicians.”
Just in time, Julie, who was passing by the campus, spoke to me. Rowoon raised his hand and said.
“Julie. huh. get out. Didn’t you leave?”
“I have camera anxiety. I don’t even want to go to a game I can’t win. It’s not going to be harshly stigmatized for nothing.”
“・・・・・What could it be?”
“Hey, there’s no way we can’t win at a time like this, right? Shouldn’t I be saying this?”
“There is no way you can’t win. I.”
“…Anyway, you unlucky bastard. f*ck Heather.”
Julie grunted. Of course, the voice wasn’t so malicious. Rowoon asked with a puzzled expression.
“But Heather is going out, so what? You keep changing your words?”
“I don’t know. It seems like they want to go out, but there seems to be a certain pressure about the Chopin Competition. Aren’t you seeing Heather well these days?”
“This semester, the classes don’t overlap, and again… I just can’t see anything. compared to before.”
Sometimes he wondered if she was avoiding him. Julie shook her head.
“It just seemed like these days, I was only at the practice room or at home. Not as bright as before. What do you do?”
“······why me?”
“You like Heather. no?”
“Why do people always fret over not being able to tie him up with me…”
“Uh, um… is it going to be a painting?”
“I didn’t expect you to say that.”

“I don’t want to see you dating Heather, but I do want to see you having a hard time with Heather.”
Julie laughed as she said that. And I retook my steps again.
“Anyway, get some headers. This body has to go to class. Report later!”
