The performance went smoother than expected. Even though it was their first time on stage, the three girls worked well together and made no mistakes.
However, performing is more difficult than imagined.
In the past, the three of them played in their secret base and enjoyed the feeling of performing alone. At that time, the three girls thought that being able to face "no audience" calmly was something to be proud of.
However, when they stood on the real stage, facing a packed audience, and they felt nervous about it, they realized how naive this idea had been.
Tonight, there were about three hundred audiences in front of them, but no one came for them. Even though they were performing in front of three hundred people, they still had no audience and were still performing alone.
Performing alone without an audience is not something you can enjoy.
This is what the three girls experienced after performing on such a stage for the first time in their lives. After experiencing this, they can understand that their thoughts have always been very frivolous.
Although when their performance started, the audience who had no reaction at first gradually began to cheer for them. When the performance ended and left the stage, the band received some applause and cheers that were not deserted. However, because they realized such a thing, the three
This girl was not so immersed in the joy brought by the sense of achievement, but instead was thoughtful.
They had such a performance during their first performance, but after returning to the backstage, they were not cheered for it. Such a band was also very special in the eyes of the backstage staff. They felt that these three girls could keep their composure.
He has a bit of a general demeanor.
As long as what is in your heart is not written on your face, beautiful misunderstandings may happen at any time.
Before leaving the show, the three girls had to go to Fengdao's office to collect their performance fees for tonight.
"Three of see-saw!"
The three girls knocked on the door of the office and were allowed in. Seeing them, Minedao waved to the three girls cordially.
At that time, it was Fengdao who interviewed three girls, greatly praised their performance, and gave them the opportunity to perform.
Fengdao has been in the underground music industry for many years. He is best at dealing with people and has quite a set of opinions about music. Although the three girls have only met him once, in their hearts they all agree with him.
The person in charge was full of affection and felt that they were lucky to meet such a person as their first step into the underground music industry.
"Good evening, Mineshima-san."
The three girls bowed their heads to Fengdao.
"In the performance just now, the performance of several people was quite good. They were more calm than I expected." Fengdao did not hesitate to praise the three girls.
Although as a band, see-saw still has many shortcomings, and the cooperation between the three girls is not perfect, Minedama thinks that they are a band that can sing and sing on its own and has its own characteristics. He feels that they
Full of potential.
This is how it is to discover new talents in the underground music scene. Sometimes, a band that seems to be very complete may not be worth signing with them. On the contrary, there may be considerable possibilities for a band that is still lacking.
The envelope that Mineshima handed over was as thin as an empty envelope, and the five thousand yen was fluffy.
One of the members, Yukiko Nishioka, accepted the reward, and the other two girls followed, bowing and thanking Mineshima.
At this time, there were two knocks on the office door.
Someone came to visit, and the three girls were preparing to say goodbye. Nishioka Yukiko's words came to her lips, but Mineshima took his time and put something on the table casually, not caring about the three girls.
The child was present. The door of the office was wide open. Fengdao was facing the door. He looked past the three girls and looked at the person standing outside the door.
"Iwahashi-san." Mineshima stood up and greeted.
Iwahashi Shinichi stepped in, glanced at the three girls standing aside, and politely said to Mineshima, "I'm here as promised, so I'm sorry."
"I'm still worried." Fengdao smiled, "I didn't see you backstage, so I can't be sure if you came over."
Iwahashi Shinichi joked with him, "This is an extra bonus - a tense experience."
The two chatted and joked for a while. During this period, the three girls were standing aside, listening to Mineshima-san talking to the sudden arrival of Iwahashi-san.
The Iwahashi-san who suddenly arrived looked very young. Ishikawa Chiaki thought that he was probably about the same age as his two teammates. And that upright and steady face looked familiar. He didn't know where he had seen it.
.
The young man named Iwahashi. Mineshima-san is probably nearly ten years older than him, but when the two chatted, it seemed that this young man was the one with the upper hand. The identity of this man was ready to be answered in the hearts of the three girls.
.
Mineshima and Iwahashi Shinichi finished talking and laughing, and then looked at the three girls waiting there, "These are the three see-saw people I mentioned to you. Their performance just now was better than I imagined.
Even better.”
Shinichi Iwahashi agreed, "When the show was over and the band was about to leave, I seemed to have become their fan."
This is a pretty high evaluation.
The three girls were all surprised when they heard this.
There is no need for the legendary Iwahashi-san to compliment an amateur band that was on stage for the first time. Precisely because he has a clear understanding of Iwahashi Shinichi’s identity, he can better understand the weight of this evaluation.
It was so heavy that the three girls felt that these words were weighing on their hearts. They wanted to be happy, but they felt that they couldn't bear it.
Only then did Mineshima introduce to the three girls, "This is Iwahashi-san from GENZO."
The three girls bowed their heads to Shinichi Iwahashi.
"Mineshima-san told me that a good band was going to perform tonight, so I came to see it." Shinichi Iwahashi told the three girls in the band.
Mineshima added on the side, "Iwahashi-san is someone who must stand in the audience when watching a performance and stand with the audience."
"When you are in the auditorium, you are here as an audience." Shinichi Iwahashi smiled.
He spoke casually, talking about an ordinary thing. However, to the three girls listening to him, these words had extraordinary meaning.
From the beginning of tonight's performance, they had an audience who came for them. Not only that, after the performance, this audience who came for them praised the performance very much.
For these three girls, this is the recognition they hope to get.
"From Mineshima-san's introduction, the three of you are office workers now, right?" Shinichi Iwahashi chatted with the three girls.
The three girls exchanged glances and nodded in unison, "Yes."
"So, now I am a part-time band." Iwahashi Shinichi seemed to be confirming something.
He thought for a while and said, "I think tonight's performance was wonderful. As a debut band, it was also a successful debut."
"But," Shinichi Iwahashi changed the topic, "After tonight, the band will no longer be a debut band. It's only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to act a little coquettishly during the debut."
After officially appearing on the stage, it would be another matter to stop there. But if the band performs on stage again in the future, it is a band that must find ways to satisfy the audience and attract more audiences who are not here for them.
A real band that has transformed into its own audience.
Shinichi Iwahashi said that every band has a chance to act like a spoiled brat, and this is what he was referring to.
The three girls were still a little confused about what Shinichi Iwahashi said about "acting like a baby". But at least they understood that Shinichi Iwahashi's comment was because it was their first time on stage.
If the performance is of the same level next time, Shinichi Iwahashi probably won't comment on it as "wonderful" again.
next time……
Will you ever go on stage again? Do you want to perform like tonight?
"Next time," Shinichi Iwahashi seemed to see through the inner sway of the three girls, and suggested to them, "How about if you guys have time to do some activities during the holidays, come back to the store to perform?"
In fact, Shinichi Iwahashi did not see through the inner thoughts of the three girls. He just suggested that they continue to perform in the store to hone their skills and stage out of appreciation for the band. However, the inner swings of the three girls also revolved around
It was about the performance, so I had the illusion that Iwahashi Shinichi saw through it.
Before the three girls left, Shinichi Iwahashi handed over a business card, "Besides, if any of you have the idea of developing as professional musicians, you can give me a call. Or, if you have such intention,
, please be sure to consider GENZO.”
Although he is a big shot, he does not have the arrogance of a big shot.
This time, the person who took the initiative to accept the business card was not Yukiko Nishioka, but Yuki Kajiura.
This night, they experienced their first stage performance and met Iwahashi-san from GENZO. For the three girls, this night was nothing short of magical.
When they were walking down the street like this, no one would know that they had just come off the stage.
The envelope containing 5,000 yen banknotes, as thin as an empty envelope, was in Nishioka Yukiko's satchel. As early as when they confirmed that they would come to the performance, the three girls had already planned how to control the situation.
Five thousand yen.
They went into a small shop near the station and spent the 5,000 yen.
The three girls sat together, talking and laughing, but they all agreed tacitly. No one said anything about tonight's performance. There seemed to be a consensus not to talk about it in the noisy store.
However, when paying the bill, the boss asked them, "Are you several musicians?"
"Eh?!"
The youngest, Tomaki Ishikawa, remained calm, but the more introverted Yukiko Nishioka was startled, as if she had seen through something that no one could know.
Kajiura Yuki was a little curious, "Why do you think so?"
"There are a few underground musicians like this who often use the night's performance fee to have a drink after the performance..." The boss began to feel embarrassed for his temporary pleasure.
Kajiura Yuki couldn't help but smile, "So that's it."
After the performance, the teammates came to the store together and spent the meager performance fees together. They did not think about tomorrow's life or worry about the future. They only drank this one drink to get drunk now.
A strange, distant life suddenly unfolded before my eyes.
"That's right," the youngest Ishikawa Chiaki rushed to speak at this time and told the boss, "the three of us formed a band."
"That's amazing." The boss was immediately impressed.
This was a slightly frivolous reaction, because they were a girl band and didn't look like musicians, so they were treated like this. Despite this, the three girls did not feel offended.
Kajiura Yuki felt a little warmly amused by Ishikawa Chiaki's sudden words. But Nishioka Yukiko felt embarrassed for making such a declaration in public.
After leaving the store, the two older teammates had no intention of saying anything for a while. Ishikawa Chiaki looked at them, opened and closed his mouth, and finally spoke again, "Next time
, after the performance, go to this store again."
next time?
Will you ever go on stage again and perform like tonight?
And that Iwahashi-san, he handed over his business card. As long as he got through Iwahashi-san's phone number, his life would take a turn.
At the intersection of whether to go left or right, now we come to a place where we need to make a choice.
Although I have been forming a band since I was in high school, I have lived a step-by-step life since then, from high school to college to working in a large company. I have made every choice at every step without any hesitation.
However, after performing on stage for the first time, I could no longer convince myself to continue on the current path.
Why don’t you go on stage anymore, why don’t you perform?
why not?
…
"I didn't win this one."
Iwahashi Shinichi scratched off the lottery ticket and stated the facts in a normal tone.
Nakamori Akina's head came closer, pressing his shoulders, looking at the empty prize ticket in his hand, feeling that he was boring, "Shinichi, there is no regret at all in your tone."
The point of being boring is not that you didn’t win the lottery, but that your reaction was too bland.
"Not expected."
Iwahashi Shinichi folded the lottery tickets in his hand casually. It’s still unclear what pattern he planned to fold. He was very self-aware, “I have never had any luck in lottery draws, and I always have no luck in playing with small steel balls.
lose."
When hitting small steel balls, the beads in Shinichi Iwahashi's box will bottom out quickly.
Akina Nakamori couldn't help but smile - with a little bit of pride, "Akina, I'm not boasting, but I am a master of marbles. So, will this one of mine win?"
The lottery ticket in her hand has not been scratched yet.
From dating in a billiard room to dating at a lottery vending machine, the style of dating between two people becomes more and more bizarre.
"If I win, I will treat you to something good." Iwahashi Shinichi continued, not missing any opportunity to eat soft and fragrant rice.
However, Nakamori Akina fell in love with him and immediately bought everything, "If this one wins, I'll buy you a gift for Shinichi."
