It's impossible not to be infected when you are in such a scene. When she was attracted by the band's performance and focused all her attention on Yoshida Miwa on the stage, Nakamori Akina once forgot about the people who came with her.
The performance of DREAMS COME TRUE can make the audience so immersed in it. It can be said that it is a kind of magic that brings people hallucinations.
Akina Nakamori was enamored by the band's performance. In her heart, the appreciation for Miwa Yoshida's performance was not only an appreciation from the ordinary audience, but also an appreciation from fellow singers.
The band's performance was going on, and when they sang some familiar songs that Shinichi Iwahashi had sent to her as a "taster", the memory of the past still reminded her like a gentle tug on her sleeve.
After hearing her, she was sure that Shinichi Iwahashi was by her side at this moment. It was hard to say whether it was the song or the person beside her that evoked her memory.
However, without this person beside me, I would not have such a profound feeling about the song I am listening to.
…
The performances and encores in LIVEHOUSE are often just a few symbolic shouts from the audience. It is not like a large-scale concert, where the audience has to shout for thousands of times to start.
Although it was easy to come by, the enthusiasm of the audience when they saw the singers returning to the stage could not be compromised. Especially, in this short period of time, the band also changed their appearance.
I said it was a change of appearance, but in fact I just put on a red Santa hat and a nondescript Christmas cape, which was very Miwa-chan's style.
But in the eyes of her loyal fans, Miwa-chan deserves to be cheered even if she dresses up as a circus clown.
Iwahashi Shinichi heard from the staff that Miwa-chan's idol Yumi Matsutoya once this year on her radio, when the audience requested the song DREAMS COME TRUE, they commented that Miwa-chan's stage style was full of country flavor.
"It's obviously full of local flavor, but I'm still very intoxicated."
After all, she is a well-known venomous tongue in the entertainment industry. Yumi Matsutoya always likes to talk loudly on her radio show. She also once faced single Miyuki Nakajima when she and Miyuki Nakajima were doing a radio show together.
He said the famous saying "If you are lonely, I can lend you my husband", and received Miyuki Nakajima's "Bagaya Road" as expected.
But later, Miyuki Nakajima also brought up the old joke when Yumi Matsutoya was a guest on her radio, saying, "Lend me your husband. Anyway, it won't be a loss if you lend it to me."
So, Miyuki Nakajima borrowed the arranger husband of Yumi Matsutoya, and he arranged the music for her.
Later, two people who completely let themselves go, and Yumi Matsutoya left a warm message to Miyuki Nakajima, "If you give up on looking for a man and want to find a woman, please come to me." Miyuki Nakajima immediately replied, "I will immediately
The famous scene of “I’ll just go find you”.
No matter how aloof and cool he is on TV shows, when it comes to his own radio show, he can always throw his moral integrity out of the sky. With high status and talent, Yumi Matsutoya has the confidence to comment on celebrities at will, as well as several other talents.
Arrogance that doesn’t matter how you are viewed.
Being commented like this by her idol, when the news reached Miwa-chan, her reaction was, "So, Yumi-san has seen my performance?"
She was extremely happy. She was obviously being complained about, but she felt proud of being recognized. Just looking at her reaction, you knew that the circus style of DREAMS COME TRUE would continue until the moment when the band could no longer sing.
Thinking of having to accompany Miwa-chan in circus performances at such an age, Iwahashi Shinichi was glad at first that he was still wearing a hood.
The difference between good and bad depends entirely on comparison.
The audience enthusiastically cheered, and Miwa-chan began to feel elated, as if she had put on a Superman cape and lit up on the small stage. She walked confidently, came to the keyboard player, bent down, and changed her appearance again.
stickers.
…Affixed a Santa hat sticker to the cartoon giraffe man.
The audience who were close at hand burst into laughter when they saw what she had done. But then, under the command of Miwa-chan, they cheered for her in unison.
This cheer is not so much dedicated to Miwa-chan as it is dedicated to the absent giraffe man under her command.
Shinichi Iwahashi, who was in the audience, couldn't help but want to sigh deeply. He felt a little moved and a little ashamed, and in the end, it mixed into a feeling of helplessness.
Miwa-chan on the stage blinked a little mischievously, and with the encouragement of the audience who were completely on her side, she said, "Can you sing a little longer?"
At this time, of course there will be no second reaction.
Dressed like this, it's obvious what song to sing next. It's the song "Snowy Christmas" released in December last year.
After the release of this single, the band had its first representative Christmas song. So, this year, as soon as the winter months entered, the record company made arrangements for the promotion of this single.
In 2016, we found a new advertising song TIE-UP for the single, and also purchased on-demand promotions from cable broadcasters.
Advertising has been arranged, and of course, the record store must have sufficient supplies. Such a campaign is obviously to treat "Snowy Christmas" as the band's pension insurance, and to reprint it every year in the future.
After the single becomes a hit, the next step is to make the single a classic of this era, or even a classic that transcends eras.
…
On Christmas Eve this year, Shinichi Iwahashi exchanged gifts with Miwa-chan as usual.
When he moved, he took all kinds of ugly gifts he received from Miwa-chan with him. Nakamori Akina was surprised when she saw Miwa-chan's outstanding gift-picking ability, and she was fascinated by Iwahashi Shinichi and Yoshida.
It seems that I have an unprecedented deep understanding of Sang's way of getting along with each other.
This year, Miwa-chan rarely gave him a ridiculously ugly gift. Instead, she gave him a set of Xiangjiang Zombie Movie, a Japanese version.
According to her own words, she enjoyed watching zombie movies this year and even traveled to Hong Kong alone. So, just like a cat giving away its treasured mouse to a human friend, she gave away her favorite zombie movie.
Set it to him.
Japanese version...
When receiving the gift, Iwahashi Shinichi's mind seemed to hear the voice of Japanese lines with a unique chuunii atmosphere. From a certain point of view, this year's seemingly normal gifts, in Iwahashi Shinichi's opinion
, also a bit weird.
This year, the gift Iwahashi Shinichi prepared for Miwa-chan was relatively normal. It was a set of tabletop tennis games. It was just right for Nakamura-san to pass the time when the band was on tour and was bored in the lounge.
After all, ugly gifts are always delivered when inspiration runs out, and the friendship between the two Zeng Yis is so simple, firm, and plastic.
Of course, before Brother Nakamura was harmed, it was more likely that Shinichi Iwahashi would personally learn from him backstage at the Kohaku Utaha a few days later.
…
After the performance ended, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori left the scene and returned to the backstage to say hello.
After the regular performance on Christmas Eve, there was also a talk with the LIVEHOUSE staff and distribution of red envelopes, and of course Iwahashi Shinichi had to appear.
Compared to him, it was the first time for Akina Nakamori to come with him, so her appearance here was even more special.
Of course, no one except Miwa-chan would show any curiosity about Akina Nakamori. As soon as she saw Shinichi Iwahashi coming over, she immediately seemed to have caught him and said to him, "When I came on stage just now, I
It’s extremely unbearable.”
Iwahashi Shinichi asked her, "Did you not eat or did you drink too much water before going on stage?"
"No. It's just ants that got into the shoes and crawled around on the feet and legs." After Miwa-chan said this, she paused lightly and pulled the trigger, as if to retaliate with words, "The above
The speeches were all made to match Shen Yi-kun’s messy words.”
"Then," Shinichi Iwahashi simply brought the topic back, "What are you enduring?"
As a result, Miwa-chan was completely ignored again. Her attention went beyond Shinichi Iwahashi and her eyes went to Akina Nakamori who was a little behind him.
Nakamori Akina bowed slightly and showed a small smile. Half of this smile was the smile that was aroused by just listening to the conversation between these two people.
Miwa-chan was like a puppy suddenly aware of a strange smell. After sniffing it gently with her eyes, she replied, "Good evening!"
She is the beauty that Shinichi-kun likes. Miwa-chan thought quietly in her heart.
She was very close during the performance. As soon as she came on stage, she immediately spotted Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori standing there. Miwa-chan tried her best to resist teasing from the stage, "That couple over there is super LOVELOVE."
If the only person she was teasing was Iwahashi Shinichi, then she would definitely talk loudly. The more Iwahashi Shinichi was unable to resist, the more she felt that she had accomplished something big. But with Nakamori Akina, Miwa-chan became more reserved than ever.
At this moment, he finally took the opportunity to ridicule Iwahashi Shinichi, but Nakamori Akina was behind him, so Miwa-chan could only continue to endure it. She tried not to say what she was enduring.
But when I turned my back, thinking of Shinichi Iwahashi's look of a fool in love, I still couldn't help but want to laugh.
Unlike Miwa-chan who is always thinking about things, Nakamura-san, a social expert, always behaves appropriately. He smiles and greets Nakamori Akina politely. He also takes the opportunity to take advantage of Shinichi Iwahashi and says, "Thank you for taking care of me, Shinichi-kun."
Both teammates had their own shortcomings. Iwahashi Shinichi had no choice but to accept it.
When I brought my girlfriend to the backstage of the band's performance, I already expected to be spoiled.
If anything, Miwa-chan, the top-seeded player who harmed others and harmed her own world, rarely spoke up at this moment, and Shinichi Iwahashi was dodged, feeling that something was missing. Sure enough, habits are a terrible thing.
Iwahashi Shinichi had to bear the sarcasm from his teammates. This situation made Nakamori Akina find it interesting and she was happy to watch the fun. A person who always seems to be at ease is occasionally chased and unable to resist. This kind of reaction is very interesting.
Of course, for Nakamori Akina, she didn't want to see Iwahashi Shinichi make a fool of herself.
After being formally introduced to her teammates, she didn't want her appearance to make the atmosphere awkward, as if she shouldn't be there backstage. Therefore, the reactions of her two teammates gave her a sense of peace of mind.
In front of Nakamori Akina, Iwahashi Shinichi spoke to the person in charge, Mineshima, who had been waiting for him tonight, and ordered him to hand out the red envelopes he planned to give to the staff.
"Thanks to everyone for the hard work this year."
Fengdao smiled and replied, "Everything went well, I'm very happy."
When we first met, Shinichi Iwahashi was just a waiter in a nightclub. For Mineshima, following Shinichi Iwahashi, witnessing his success, and being shocked by him from time to time, there is one thing that only Minejima can do.
A strange feeling that islanders can experience.
On Christmas Eve, it is customary not to arrange a dinner party, and everyone spends their own time alone. After talking to Mineshima, Iwahashi Shinichi turned his head and prepared to say goodbye to his two teammates.
In previous years, Miwa-chan, who would start to contribute wise words at this time, was surprisingly reserved and quiet tonight. If this was the first time I met her, I would have thought that she was an introvert and shy person.
Of course, the characteristic of a rat carrying a gun can only be known if you are familiar with it.
"Then, let's say goodbye first." After Iwahashi Shinichi said this, he smiled and said, as if explaining to Nakamori Akina, "The time on Christmas Eve belongs to you."
Brother Nakamura followed up, "Please be sure to come over with Shinichi-kun next time and let's have a drink together."
While talking, he made a drinking gesture.
Miwa-chan was quiet, listening to Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura talking to each other, like a child waiting for the adults to finish their greetings. She turned her eyes and met Akina Nakamori who was looking over.
Akina Nakamori had a childish face, but now she felt that Miwa Yoshida looked more like a child.
The two people looked at each other.
In Nakamori Akina's heart, there was a little bit of the idea that "Yoshida-san is like a child". And Miwa-chan, deep in her heart, had a little imagination of a child preparing to play a prank.
"I wish you a LOVELOVE Christmas!"
Can you say this?
"Shinichi-kun, please feel free to show your skills!"
Is this sentence okay?
Miwa-chan thought of many such words in her mind. If it were just Iwahashi Shinichi, she would definitely say it loudly. However, in front of Nakamori Akina, she could not utter a single "golden sentence" in the past.
.
On the other side, Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura finally finished their greetings before saying goodbye. This year, without Miwa-chan beside them, it was difficult for the two Zeng Yi to say more.
Next time, Miwa-chan thought to herself, focusing on her own thoughts. She had already forgotten about Akina Nakamori, and didn't care that Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura were still chatting passionately after they finished talking.
When I see Shinichi Iwahashi again, I have to catch him and say these things again. For now...just keep it in my heart.
Miwa-chan made up her mind and finally escaped from her imagination. She waved to Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori who were standing together, "Merry Christmas!"
Akina Nakamori bowed her head slightly and responded to her blessing: "Merry Christmas."
