Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Chapter 31 An Unexpected Letter

When Shirakawa Kaede returned to Tokyo after the New Year's holiday in early January, the first thing he did was to present the souvenirs he brought from Akita to his acquaintances here.

The two roommates in the same dormitory, the administrators of several second-hand electrical appliances shops, and the electrical recycling points, such as Matsumoto and the others.

These specialties are basically Akita sake, matsutake, water shield, these dry wines.

After dividing these things, Bai Chuanfeng thought about it and prepared a separate one.

After sending postcards and souvenirs, settle in Kotaro. Bai Chuanfeng finally rushed to the dormitory in Suginami District.

Downstairs in the dormitory, he was stopped by the dormitory administrator, who said he had a package for him.

When Bai Chuanfeng saw the words "Cultural Office" on the envelope, he fell into confusion.

Hall of Culture? What does this have to do with me? He checked to see that the recipient had indeed written his name.

Although he was full of doubts in his heart, when he returned to the dormitory, he opened it as soon as possible to see what was inside.

The other two people in the dormitory were not there, so Bai Chuanfeng sat on the sofa and picked up the paper in the envelope and read it carefully.

"To Shirakawa-san, the copyright registration form submitted by you has been received..."

After quietly reading the letter for a few minutes, Bai Chuanfeng realized what was going on.

The letter from the Department of Cultural Affairs was to inform him that the preliminary review of the copyright registration of the original song "Dragonfly" had been completed, and if there were no objections to the announcement in the next two weeks, it would mean that the registration was completed and officially recorded.

A copy of the originally submitted application form was also included in the letter for the applicant to check.

Bai Chuanfeng picked up the copy, and at the beginning of the form was some basic information about him.

Then there is the score and lyrics appendix of the original song "Dragonfly", including the birth time and place of the work, and the specific information of the first public performance.

Seeing the phrase "Public performance information see VHS video tape (attached)" on the form, Bai Chuanfeng suddenly realized that the clips of his New Year's festival performance songs were all recorded by video recorders.

And looking at the delicate handwriting on it, based on Bai Chuanfeng's familiarity with it, it is basically certain that it was written by Kobayashi Asuka.

According to the reply date on the envelope, Bai Chuanfeng made a rough calculation, and it was probably the day after the New Year Festival that she sorted it out and mailed it to the Cultural Department Copyright Xia.

Now the so-called two-week publicity period of the Department of Culture has almost passed half of the time.

RB law believes that the copyright is automatically effective at the moment of creation and belongs to the creator.

Copyright registration is only to ensure that the creator's work is officially registered, or used as a clear written document for the transfer of copyright.

In addition to the internal review of the Department of Cultural Affairs, there is also a final publicity period.

The publicity period is to publish your work in a specific journal. If there is no objection from others and no copyright disputes, then the copyright registration is completed.

Now that Bai Chuanfeng received the reply, it means that his preliminary examination of copyright registration has been completed and passed. After the publicity period, the copyright of the song "Dragonfly" will belong to him and will be protected by law.

And the protection period is a lifetime plus 70 years after death, which is why many singers can eat for a lifetime with just one hit song.

Looking at the beautiful handwriting on the registration form, Bai Chuanfeng sighed softly. It seems that I have to thank Xiao Lin a lot. Last time she invited me to celebrate, it happened to be together this time.

Regarding Bai Chuanfeng's invitation to dinner, Asuka Kobayashi spent the whole afternoon in secret joy.

She took the initiative to throw out an olive branch at the New Year's Festival last time, and Bai Chuanfeng's polite refusal made her feel very disappointed for a while.

This time, Bai Chuanfeng's initiative to invite Kobayashi Asuka made him secretly happy, but at the same time he was a little tangled.

Last time I rejected myself, this time I turned around and invited myself. If she agrees easily, will it appear that she is too frivolous.

Hmph, why don't you deliberately snub him out and let him know that he's not that easy to get along with, and that he also has small emotions.

"Xiaolin, hurry up. The wagyu sushi at that restaurant is very popular, and there is a limited supply. If you go late, there may be nothing left."

"Hay!" Seeing Bai Chuanfeng waving at him at the door, Asuka Kobayashi got up in a panic and trotted over.

Since performing at the New Year's Festival, Shirakawa Kaede's reputation as "Ichiban" has spread like wildfire.

Not to mention classmates, most people on campus have heard of this name.

Seeing that Bai Chuanfeng asked Kobayashi Asuka to go away at this moment, the students in the classroom started to boo in a low voice. Several female students even showed rather dissatisfied expressions.

It was the first time since the new semester that Bai Chuanfeng received a confession letter from a female classmate. Most girls in this era are still reserved and shy.

Most of them secretly put the letter in his textbook when he was away, and then hid in their seats to secretly observe his every move.

Bai Chuanfeng could only pretend that he didn't see it, and closed the textbook lightly, and he understood.

Unlike Kobayashi Asuka who blushed when she heard the faint booing behind her, Bai Chuanfeng generously led the way in front, and the destination was Mingqian Station.

To the south of Meiji University, there is a shopping street called "Suzuran-dori" near Meiji Dai Station, which is a favorite gathering place for young people nearby.

Especially the students of Meiji University, the most frequented places are not Akihabara or Shibuya, but Suzuran Street.

The shopping street is not long, only a few meters long. But even in this narrow alley-like street, there are everything to eat, drink and have fun.

There are all kinds of restaurants, video games, karaoke, and bookstores, which are popular with young people.

As night falls, red lanterns sway with the wind, and flashing billboards dot the night sky.

Below are the crowds of people and all kinds of steaming snacks. The sound of yelling, the sound of the crowd talking, and the occasional singing from the stereo in the store converge on the street, full of vitality.

"There must be too many people." It's not that Bai Chuanfeng has never been here before, but there are especially many people today. Maybe it's because the new year just passed, and we haven't been together for a long time, so we all chose to come out for a small gathering together today.

However, Kobayashi Asuka's interest was not affected by the noisy crowd at all, she looked around with great interest.

The two squeezed into a restaurant called "Xiaoshanya" and ordered two signature dishes here, wagyu sushi.

The shop is small and very crowded, many people don't sit at all, just stand by the bar, chatting while drinking.

In the name of celebration, Bai Chuanfeng ordered two glasses of beer. Anyway, the store couldn't tell that he was one year shy of twenty. But just a taste of it, and besides, I have to take care of Kobayashi who is a woman.

After a while, the snacks, sushi and Wagyu beef were all on the table, and Bai Chuanfeng raised his glass, "In the new year, I wish Xiaolin a more beautiful student, earn all credits, and never fail a course!"

"Arigado~" Kobayashi Asuka raised her glass with a smile and touched him.

Bai Chuanfeng picked up a piece of wagyu sushi and put it in his mouth. Hmm~, the taste is good, fresh and refreshing, it is worthy of being the star restaurant here.

As for Kobayashi Asuka, she narrowed her eyes and bulged her mouth, enjoying the delicious food wholeheartedly.

"Well, it's not bad."

Kobayashi Asuka didn't have time to talk, and could only nod her head like a chicken pecking at rice. It looks like a hamster with its mouth full, greedy and cute.

Amused by her appearance, Bai Chuanfeng had another drink with her, and began to enjoy the delicious food with peace of mind.

Wagyu sushi is a high-end cuisine for students. Usually, everyone doesn't come to eat often, but today, with the excuse of celebrating, the two had a great time eating.

After strolling around Suzuran Street in the evening, Shirakawa Kaede and Kobayashi Asuka slowly walked north along the street. Their dormitories were both behind Meiji University, and the direction was roughly the same.

Under the dim lights on both sides of the road, a pair of figures slowly walked forward along the tree shade along the street. Bai Chuanfeng put his hands in his pockets, while Kobayashi Asuka put his hands behind his back, and the fingers of both hands were entangled with each other.

"Student Xiaolin..."

"Shirakawa-kun"

Before Bai Chuanfeng finished speaking, he was interrupted softly by Asuka Kobayashi.

"Huh?" Bai Chuanfeng looked at her strangely.

Kobayashi Asuka's face turned slightly red, but it was not obvious under the dim light. She lowered her head and said in a very cautious tone, "Actually, Mr. Bai Chuan can call me Asuka Sauce directly."

The tone was so slight that Bai Chuanfeng almost didn't hear clearly, but Bai Chuanfeng who heard it was stunned for a moment, and then he blinked and replied with a smile, "Okay, Asuka sauce. Thank you for the Cultural Affairs Office, so whatever you do today I also want to entertain Asuka Sauce."

"Wait." Asuka Kobayashi raised her head, "Mr. Shirakawa entertained me today because of the Cultural Affairs Office?"

"Yes, otherwise." Bai Chuanfeng said in surprise.

"You should still call me Kobayashi-san." After speaking, Asuka Kobayashi put down her hands behind her back, put them in her pockets instead, and walked towards the dormitory not far away without looking back.

"Eh?!" Bai Chuanfeng was stunned. He was stunned for a second and then shouted at Asuka Kobayashi, "Asuka sauce, why don't you have another meal next time?"

It is estimated that one meal is not enough, and another meal is needed. There is nothing that two meals of wagyu sushi can't solve.

"You told me to call me classmate Kobayashi!"

From far away came Xiao Lin's distraught voice, and she left a little faster.

"Strange," Bai Chuanfeng muttered to himself, he didn't understand why Kobayashi Asuka, who was usually a foodie, could bear the temptation of having two delicious meals today.

Just when Bai Chuanfeng was belatedly thinking about the girl's complicated thoughts.

When he arrived at the dormitory, he was told by the administrator that someone called him in the afternoon. It sounded like a certain company had learned that Bai Chuanfeng was not there, and asked the administrator to tell him that they would continue to contact him at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
