Double Planet
Episode 1: “The day will come when you will realize that that step was a big step.”
Satoru Aono (Furuta Jun & Yota Kanda/Radio Shonan Personality)

A life where I was passionate about club activities and a life where I chose to go home.
About the merits and demerits of that choice.
In an era where diversity is at its peak, there is no way that one's life can be influenced by club activities.
That's what I (Satoru Aono), a 16-year-old philosopher, thought.

When the day's classes are over, I wander around Fujisawa Station before heading home.
While I was fiddling with my smartphone, night came and I quickly finished my homework and went to bed.
I feel like I dreamed something while I was sleeping, but I can't remember what kind of dream it was.
Every day, only vague everyday life with no outline is becoming more and more archived.

"No...I can't take it anymore."

It was in December that I said this out loud.

Someone once said that high school life goes by in the blink of an eye.
The new year is 2020. In three months, my first year will be over.
That was true. I don't really remember much up to this point.
It's about time to retire from being a quiet philosopher. This is not the time to pretend to be enlightened and grow old.
I was finally ready to accept this fact.

“I wanted to be in a band.”

When I became a junior high school student, I received the declaration that the internet was banned and gained the freedom of the internet.
I spent my time listening to all kinds of music. The entrance is J-POP. From anime songs and game songs to rock, EDM, and Western music. I listened to music endlessly. It devoured the music like a hungry monster. As I listened to it a lot, I started to understand what I liked. Apparently, he likes arrangements and sounds similar to those played by rock bands, which are known as ``band sounds.'' To put it simply, he's a cool guy.

But as much as I wanted to be in a band, I've never played in front of people.
To begin with, I am not an expert in musical instruments other than the castanet and recorder, which I was taught in compulsory education.
Still, I'm interested. This feeling is real as you can see that it's hard for her to leave.

“I want to be in a band.”

I wonder what would have happened to me if I had chosen to join the light music club that April.
I didn't think I'd be able to get along with my classmates who (or so I thought) had completely different tastes in music. Even though I would have joined, there was no place for me in the light music club. I think too much. bothersome.

Is it possible to form a band with just one person?
No, it's not a band anymore.
So what is it? What will happen to me?

Without doing anything, I entered my second year, and now my third year has arrived, and my high school life has come to an end.

I don't like it. At this rate, the goal tape cannot be cut. That's all I understand.
But I didn't really know what to do or where to start.

Saturday evening when there is no school.

Impulsively, I decided to go to a music store.
When I searched on the internet, I found that it was near Fujisawa Station.
Yugyo Street, which leads to Yugyoji Temple, is in the north exit area, which is usually off-limits.
There were unreliable illuminations that were out of season.

Is this a preemptive move in anticipation of the upcoming Valentine's Day? Or is it just laziness?
I don't really understand the aim.

As I continued walking, I came across the ``Wakaizumi Musical Instrument Store.''

It was nice to come, but I suddenly felt a strange sense of nervousness.
Pretending to be a passerby, I took a look inside the store through the glass.
I walked back and forth in front of the store many times and took a quick look. He's clearly a suspicious person.

Should I open this door or not?

That alone worries me to death.
Today, I didn't bring any money with me, so I'm a complete fool.
Is it okay for such a customer to come in? Shouldn't I go home after all?

Let's think about it again.

Let's do it another day. It's time again. good bye…

"Poron, poron"

I could hear the sound of a guitar coming from inside the store.
A customer happily trying out a guitar and a staff member looking on.

Will I miss another chance to change myself?
I feel like if I run away now, I'll never come here again. It's always been like that.

There's no such thing as "next time."

here. My first step is now on the other side of this door.

"now"

I put my hand on the door as if to be sucked in, spun around, and before I knew it, I was inside the store.

I looked at the acoustic guitar hanging on the wall and was captivated by the beauty of its body.
The texture is completely different from anything I've seen online.
It shines so brightly that you can see yourself looking into it.

When I turned around, there were electric guitars lined up.
The pop and bright colors reminded me of the 24-color crepas I had when I was a child.
I couldn't even play it, but I wanted to pick it up right away and make it look cool.

For the first time, I wanted to own a musical instrument.
No, do you want a guitar, not a musical instrument? I feel like that's different too.

“I want to see myself playing this in front of people someday.”

I left the store feeling dazed.
In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, what exactly happened to Alice after she came out of the hole?
Even though I'm not Alice, this thought crossed my mind without any context.

I decided to go back to the station along Yukyo Street.
Is the first one an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar?

Or both? No, you're getting too carried away. Either one.

“Which one is better?”

First of all, how should I find the money to buy a guitar?
That's when I started thinking about that.

I heard the phrase "Double Planet" coming from the radio station right in front of me.

"to be continued"
