In October 2023, I performed at a street piano located in the Takanawa Gateway Station of the JR Yamanote Line running through central Tokyo.
This will be the first time to play this piece on a street piano. Even if I can play well on the electronic piano at home, I cannot play well on a real piano without practicing several times. So I played it for practice.
I have been practicing this song for a long time recently, and it has a modulation at the end. I wish I could convert the chords for the modulation in my head, but I can't, so I had to memorize the chords and deal with it (lol). Because of the modulation, I had to practice about two songs worth of time. I think I practiced this song the most, and sometimes I still make mistakes, so let's practice some more.
I personally don't like modulations because it breaks the mood of the song. Probably I will probably never play a song with modulations in the future. However, the melody of this song Hou Ji Zhe was so good that it far outweighed the disadvantages of having modulations, so I decided to copy it. I love this song.
As for the performance itself, it may be that the modulation makes you sound like a good player, but in my personal opinion, it is better to keep the atmosphere of the song without modulation.
This song is also a lot of fun to copy, and I enjoy just playing it on the piano. In terms of chord progressions, I wonder if this song is another typical Ren Ran chord progression.

Place: JR Takanawa Gateway Station(JR Yamanote Line), Tokyo Japan
