It was July 1979, and early that morning, Lin Le called Xiang Yeshener out.

The two got on the bus to Tokyo.

"What are we going to do?" Xiangyashiji was confused about Lin Le's invitation. Today was Sunday. After the band finished singing yesterday, Xiangyashiji thought he would continue to rehearse today, but he didn't expect that Lin Le called him out of his house early today.

"Go to Shibuya, there is a very powerful thing to be released today." Lin Le said.

"What makes you care so much?"

"TPS-L2, the world's first walkman!" Lin Le said excitedly.

"Walkman? What is that?"

"The Walkman! It's so big that you can hang it around your waist and listen to music while walking!" Lin Le said excitedly.

"Walking and listening to music? How much does this thing cost?"

"33,000 yen!" Lin Ledao.

"33,000 yen!!???? Can you afford it??" Xiangyashiji exclaimed.

"Of course I can't afford it, but if such an epoch-making product is on sale, even if I can't afford it, at least I have to join in the fun!" Lin Le said.

Not to mention 30,000, Lin Le’s pocket is already very good if he has 300 yen in his pocket. The price level of RB in 1979, and the first salary for college students to graduate was only about 110,000 yen. You should know that this was 79 years. Even in RB, the number of college students is far less than that of later generations.

"What's there! It's just that you can listen to music while walking. The sound quality of this thing is definitely far inferior to that of a record machine, right?"

"Of course, the sound quality is far worse!" Lin Le said.

"And if you can carry it with you, you must also need a battery? No record, you need to buy another tape you mentioned!? What kind of broken product is simply a scam!" Xiang Yeshenji scoffed at Lin Le, as if he was the one who was the one who was the old man who saved Lin Le a lot of money.

It’s no wonder that Aya Shinji thought so. The two of them took the bus to the Sony franchise store in Shinjuku and found that the situation at the scene was indeed not as crazy as imagined.

The new products I remember are released, such as the new Apple phones in later generations, the new World of Warcraft expansion packs, and even the new Starbucks opening. Every time this time comes, there should be a lot of excitement outside the release center, and some people even started queuing all night long ago.

However, when Lin Le and Xiang Yeshi Er arrived at the scene, they found that although some people were waiting for the sale, they were far less enthusiastic. Obviously, the most people who came to buy were just a group of rich Sony fans. These people could promote the scene, but they could not really spread the sales.

This is also natural. After all, it is a brand new product. On the way back, Lin Le and Suya Shinji even saw middle-aged men in suits and ties on the Yamanote Line car and took a walkman to listen to music. It was obvious that ordinary people could not do it. These guys who listened to music were probably staff members of the Sony Propaganda Department. This kind of publicity technique... cannot be said to be low, but the effect... is actually more resigned to fate.

Lin Le vaguely remembered that it was not until the end of July that a magazine called "Monthly Star" was released in the September issue that walkman began to become really popular because the famous male idol Hideki Nishijo was bare on the upper body and shorts on the lower body with a walkman. With such star cards and other promotions, the walkman market was finally expanded. By August, major shopping malls began to be out of stock.

Unfortunately, although Lin Le knew that it was a good opportunity, he could only see it. He and Suya Shinji had no money. 33,000 yen was a huge sum of money for them. The parents at home could not agree to them spending money to buy this flashy thing home.

"Huh? What is that?" Xiangya Shinji suddenly poked Lin Le and pointed to the nearby stall at the sales office.

"Well... challenge the walkman recording function and sing your song?" Lin Le read out the title on the banner.

Xiang Yeshenji then read the small words on the edge of the title: "First Prize, walkman two?!"

The two looked at each other and felt that the opportunity had come.

"That's great. Apart from the song "Summer Vacation", didn't you practice a song a few days ago? Just go up and sing that song!" Lin Le pushed Xiang and said indifferently.

"Hehehehe..." Xiangye Shinji looked at the banner and suddenly smiled. Then, he looked at Lin Le.

"What are you...what are you going to do?" Lin Le looked at Xiang Yeshener's unidentified smile and couldn't help but shivered.

I saw Xiang Yeshen and said word by word: "I! No! I want it!"

"You don't want it!? What do you want it? Don't sing? But there are two walkmans in the first prize!" Lin Le said in surprise.

"If you want, go up and sing it yourself!" Xiangyashi Er said with a wicked smile.

"I... myself?"

"Yes, I have been practicing singing with you these days. The sound you called and drank is wrong and the relationship is wrong. I heard you sing this process very well. Since that's the case, you can sing it yourself! Why do we have to sing it yourself!"

"This..." Lin Le had nothing to say.

He definitely has no tone-free singing skills, and he may not be as cautious as a person if he insists on rap skills. After all, he did related work in his previous life. Even if he didn't practice it professionally, he was at least influenced by the audience. He often went to places like karaoke with top singers, and sang with big guys. He gave a few comments and Lin Le's singing skills improved.

As for the reason why I don’t want to go on stage, it’s just a matter of goal.

His main goal is to become a producer, a producer, and it is okay to be a host, an artist, or something. It is not completely impossible to make him become a singer directly, but at least these are not his main goal.

"Hey? Don't you want to go up and sing? You obviously want to win back on walkn, right? So what are you worried about?" Xiangya Shenji asked Lin Le, who was hesitating and struggling.

"Damn it, just sing. It's not that you will never sing or you will die. There's nothing wrong with it!" Lin Le said.

"That's right! Let me see Lin Le's strength!" Xiang Yeshener said as he patted his shoulder.

The two ran out of Sony Music, borrowed a guitar from a nearby instrument store, and then ran back to the store.

This time, the two of them did not hesitate anymore, but came directly to the competition banner.

“We are going to participate in a singing competition!”

"Are you two together?" the staff member asked with the application form.

"Yes! I play the guitar and he sings!" Xiang Yeshener pointed at Lin Le.

"Oh? Or the self-singing contestants!?" said the middle-aged staff member looking at the two high school students in front of him.

"It's not only playing and singing, but also writing by itself! The song we want to sing is what he does!" Xiang Yeshener pointed at Lin Le.

Lin Le also knows guitar, but his guitar is quite average. Although he taught Xiang Yeshiji the song he wanted to sing, he has not practiced a lot in the past few days, so he must leave the performance to him and Lin Le just sings.

"Composing the song by yourself?! Very good, what's your combination called?" The staff looked at Lin Le in surprise. What good songs can a child who is obviously only in his teenage years old? Although he was surprised, he would not give too much expectations.

"What's the name...hey, what's our name!?" Xiang Yeshenji pushed Lin Le.

"Just call...Daydream family!" Lin Le said with a sudden whim.

"Why is this name?" asked Xiangyeshenji.

"No, it's just a blessing to the soul..." Lin Le said indifferently.

"Okay, then Daydream!" Xiangyashiji handed over his name.

"Daydream, what the duo wants to sing an original song, right? What about the song's name?" the staff asked while filling out the competition application form for the two.

"The name of the song is... "Full Memories" (thinking out of it)." Lin Ledao.

"Okay, with this application form, there are about four groups of contestants before you can appear!" The staff asked the two of them in detail about their home address and contact information, and handed over a competition certificate to them.

The two of them came to the front of the small stage of the performance with their vouchers, preparing to see the other contestants they had appeared on the stage before.

Because the small competition has been around for a while, there are quite a few people in front of the small stage, but no matter how many people there are, they will definitely not be as good as the grand occasion of the walkman sale, and it is even more impossible to compare with the normal star performance. There are just some passers-by and those who are interested in the competition, watching the contestants appear on the stage off the stage.

As for the songs sung by contestants, they are basically all popular in this era or just released.

The two watched the performances of three groups of contestants in total. The first group of contestants appeared. They were a 20-year-old girl. The song they sang was "Miss of Summer" by Yuhui Shirahara. This song was released today last year and is a very famous idol song that has been passed down to later generations.

The girl looks very energetic while singing, but vitality is one aspect. After all, she is not a professional singer. This behavior of singing and dancing makes her voice not perform well, not only is her breath not very stable, but she is even a little out of tune.

In addition, the girl's appearance is not the kind of idol that can make people shine, but just an ordinary person, so Lin Le and Xiang Yeshi Er knew that this person would definitely not be their opponent.

After the girl finished singing, the second contestant appeared. He was an office worker in his thirties. The song he sang was "Cute Ellie" by Nantian Qunxing. Well, this person would not be an opponent. An office worker in his thirties, or something, unless he sang well enough to match Kasuke Murata, it would definitely not attract much attention.
