What does the cherry blossom symbolize for RB?

Love and hope.

However, due to its noble, fleeting, and splendid nature, the cherry blossom also carries a tinge of sadness.

"Mr. Shuichi, I think this project is too superficial!" Nakamura Naoki directly expressed his thoughts.

"Huh? Superficial? What are you talking about!!" Itou Shuichi was immediately provoked.

Beside him, Yoshimura Daikichi quickly tried to calm the situation, "Mr. Naoki must not mean that! Mr. Shuichi, don't get angry, don't get angry. Mr. Naoki, please explain that you don't mean that!"

"That's exactly what I mean, Mr. Shuichi. This project is too superficial!" Nakamura Naoki knew the principle of taking the initiative, and if he could convince Itou Shuichi, he might become the lead of the project instead of just a model.

"Cherry blossoms symbolize love, something even children know. What else does your project express besides that?"

"Huh?" Itou Shuichi, "What else should it express?"

"In other words, what in this GG can people remember?"

"There are so many GGs on the market. The idea of cherry blossoms symbolizing love has been used hundreds of times in perfumes, furniture, flowers, clothing... even in elementary school pencil sharpeners with cherry blossom 'love'!"

"How does Mr. Shuichi's 'love' make people remember it?"

"Ah, well..." Itou Shuichi was indeed stumped, unable to respond, but unwilling to admit defeat, "Does Mr. Naoki have any tricks to make 'love' memorable?"

Ha, the initiative is now mine~

"Mr. Shuichi... do you think beautiful love is more memorable, or regretful love more unforgettable?" Nakamura Naoki slowly guided the conversation.

Itou Shuichi was a bit stunned: "Does Mr. Naoki plan to go in a tragic direction? But this is a beverage GG~"

"So what if it's a beverage GG? Who says a tragic GG isn't a GG?"

"Cherry blossom love is inherently filled with sadness~"

"Do you think customers are drinking soda? They are drinking love!"

Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Daikichi were thoroughly stunned by this statement: "Such a perspective! Such an angle!"

"Just hearing this makes me want to try the drink."

"Right, indeed impressive!"

Nakamura Naoki continued: "From Mr. Shuichi's description, I got some inspiration. If the cherry blossom-flavored drink can be the cause of their meeting and the result of their separation, such a cause and effect might make the audience remember it more."

By connecting it to the mysterious cause and effect, Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Daikichi truly began to consider the possibility of such a project.

Nakamura Naoki, following the MV in his mind, began to plan the GG plot with Itou Shuichi:

He was taking shelter from the rain under a newsstand, and she was also there to take shelter... fate brought them together. When their eyes met, shy and sweet smiles, silent love sprouted. She pointed to the blooming cherry blossoms, and he looked at them too, noticing the cherry blossom-flavored drink in the vending machine. They smiled at each other...

On their way back, their shadows were side by side, both holding cherry blossom-flavored drinks.

They fell in love, got married, had a baby, and their favorite drink was cherry blossom-flavored. In the next scene, one night, because they ran out of drinks, she went out to buy more but was hit by a car...

Years later, he held a beautiful bouquet of cherry blossoms and her favorite cherry blossom-flavored drink, and went to the place of the accident, giving them to the one he loved~

In the final scene, he returned to the starting point of their love, looking at the still blooming cherry blossoms and the familiar drink under the tree... but she was already gone. In the end, his daughter, who had just finished school, ran to his side, pointing at the cherry blossoms. Her innocent smile made him decide to move on~

...

The GG story finally ended, and Yoshimura Daikichi, who had been listening, seemed to be immersed in the story.

Buddhism says that life has eight sufferings: birth, aging, illness, death, separation from loved ones, meeting with those one hates, unfulfilled desires, and the burning of the five aggregates.

This GG concentrated on birth, death, separation from loved ones, and unfulfilled desires...

Anyone who sees this GG will definitely not forget it easily.

"Mr. Naoki, this story could be made into a movie." Yoshimura Daikichi sighed, "It's really impressive!"

Itou Shuichi also praised: "Mr. Naoki is truly impressive! If it's really made, this GG plan might even win an award!"

Nakamura Naoki said: "In the GG, we can even include the previous plum-flavored soda in the vending machine~ However, if we need to shoot the entire story, the duration might be a bit long."

"A 5-minute GG?" Itou Shuichi didn't mind this, "That's fine. The main goal of the GG is to make customers remember. Even if it's 5 minutes, it's no problem. We can just play it during the record promotion slots."

"If the effect is good, we can find connections with the TV station and buy two GG slots."

Indeed, they have deep connections! But Itou Shuichi clearly had confidence in the project.

"Speaking of playing during record promotion slots, should we also consider the format of a record MV and add background music?" Yoshimura Daikichi reminded.

"We should consider choosing an appropriate one." Itou Shuichi agreed.

Nakamura Naoki inwardly praised, good assist.

Then he said a bit shyly: "If it's background music, when planning the GG, there was a melody I really liked?"

"What? I didn't hear it?"

"Ah, Mr. Daikichi, you should know that I composed a song called 'Cherry Blossom' before, right?" Nakamura Naoki wanted to get some corroboration from Yoshimura Daikichi.

"Yes, I know that~"

But Itou Shuichi clearly didn't know much about Nakamura Naoki: "Really? Is it the famous 'Cherry Blossom' by Matsuda Seiko? You composed it?"

"Yes, the melody came to me suddenly, as if it appeared in my mind." Nakamura Naoki pretended to be a bit embarrassed, "Now, another melody seems to have appeared in my mind..."

"Really?" Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Daikichi were clearly a bit skeptical, but with Nakamura Naoki's previous success, they couldn't just reject it. Itou Shuichi said, "If so, let's wait until Mr. Naoki writes the melody, and then we'll decide."

"Ah, well..." Nakamura Naoki was really embarrassed this time, "Does Mr. Shuichi have someone who can help with composing? Actually, I don't know how to compose..."

We can't ask Hoshino Reimi for help again, it seems the new semester has started, and her academic pressure is very heavy.

"Eh??" Itou Shuichi was speechless, was the famous 'Cherry Blossom' by Matsuda Seiko really composed by you!

"Yes, that's the situation... I'm sorry, Mr. Shuichi."

"Mr. Naoki, for this, you should ask Mr. Daikichi. He knows many teachers who train artists." Itou Shuichi passed the task to Yoshimura Daikichi.

"Yes, I understand. Mr. Naoki, just wait for my news."

"Thank you..."
