IT HAD HAPPENED or CRAZY “MANYA YA” (CHAPTER 1) 28th of June 2017 16:03 Shibuya. Tokyo, Japan Rehearsal studio
Sono was rushing around the studio, he was gathering wires and wondering about why they are so many here. What for the most of them are he had very vague ideas, but as everybody knows it is better to take more things than forget something necessary. Twisting the next skein of wires the leader of Matenrou Opera the rock-band wandered from an entrance door to an amplifiers at the other side of the room. Some observers watched him while he almost buried his nose into equipment. The vocalist stood still for five minutes trying to recognize which one of two dozen cords he needs. His headache was terrible and for this reason his wit was striving to zero. And when a time limit was exhausted Sono just yanked out all the cords at once and picked a tangle of wires up for dragging them to a large suitcase in a corner. On his way he stepped on a trail that was dangling under his feet and had fallen on the floor.
"What happened?" Yo, who was sitting on a couch, alarmed. His phone with the started game fell from his hands. "An earthquake?"
Yu, who was troubled by the bassist's exclamation, tore his eyes from a glossy magazine and stared at the lying one:
"Sono? What are you doing on the floor?"
"I decided to lie down for a while to rest," the leader-san said angrily. And he settled comfortably on wires that softened his falling.
"Ah, well, this is a good thing," the bass player agreed while he was picking up the phone.
Not waiting for a help from his colleagues Sono with a groan rose from the floor and with difficulty pushed wires into a suitcase. Then he looked around and realized that there were still too much wires. These plastic-metal snakes were everywhere: on the floor, under the chairs, even hanged on the doors. The vocalist heavily sighed whereas two of his fellow musicians burst into laughter. But it seemed Sono did not notice it.
While he was picking a next garland Sono creeped under a chair. That moment somewhere deep in the back pocket of his jeans ringed the phone. With a thunderous Sono’s voice the device howled something loud and fresh. Straightened and then shook off the chair Sono not effortlessly took out the phone and frowned at the screen. Then he struck a finger at the necessary button and answered.
“Well” instead of greeting he grunted into the phone, “yes, tomorrow we will depart.”
“...”
“Well, yes, in the morning.”
“...”
“No. What for you would go with us?”
“...”
“Oh, he copes with HIS guitar parts.”
“...”
“Him? To the group? Maybe we will offer.”
“...”
“No. Where you had gone - be there. Bye!”
Turned off the phone and shaked his finger at it, Sono fell to his knees and climbed back under the chair.
"And why are you sitting?" almost with a growl in his voice he addressed to Yo and Yu. "Better help me. Ayame would have helped! It's a pity that he was late for a last train from Kyoto yesterday."
"But what are you doing?" the bassist asked not taking off his eyes from a phone game.
"I'm gathering things!" Sono squealed, rising again and stomping his feet. "We're going to the European tour tomorrow if you have forgotten about this. Maybe you will help me to twist wires? "
"Well, all wires are already packed and all things are done," Yu grinned.
"But what about these?" Sono nodded at the snake in his hands.
"This was Ayame..." Yu blurted out, but immediately hesitated.
Of course to watch at the puffing with a hangover Sono doing useless work was interesting, but only for the first ten minutes. And it has already passed five times for ten minutes.
"It's Ayame who did this," Yu continued. "You don’t believe it! He walked around all the floors yesterday morning in search of all these cords."
"Ayame!" the vocalist howled out the whole room. "It’s a big luck for him that he's in Kyoto now. Big luck! But as for you – you not so lucky... "
"For me? It was not my idea and I didn't do anything" Yu surprised.
"Exactly! You did not! But you should have warned me."
"No way…" the drummer began indignantly. "To watch you was cooler than watch anime. A crawling around the room and half an hour's attempting over a zipper on a suitcase was amazing. It is a pity that Ayame missed all this."
"I'll send him a video later," Yo said,
Sono looked at him, but addressed again to Yu:
"Monster! You knew what condition I had yesterday after shooting that program about beer tasting because you took me home."
"But no one forced you to drink so much of your much-loved BIRU. So it's your own fault that you don’t know that everything we need has been packaged long ago."
Sono did not answer but by inertia he spun another wire and even put it into a suitcase. His thoughts were already far from here, in places where his beloved cereal drink was always in big amount.
Yu have made sure that Sono does not have any more claims to him threw his legs on a chair, leaned back on a couch, staring at a ceiling and dreamily murmured out.
"Fair gaikokujin-girls"
"Why?" Yo glanced at him. "What if they will be not fair-haired?"
"What are you talking about, bro? Scandinavians are all blond! Helsinki FOREVER!"
