Before going on stage, the four Rabbit Country girls were very nervous.
There was a language barrier backstage, and I was surrounded by musicians in strange costumes and different personalities. In front of the stage was an excited audience, and behind the stage was the same unfamiliar foreign language.
Sharing the stage with foreigners and performing in front of fifteen thousand foreign audiences was enough to make them feel uneasy.
Iwahashi Shinichi took some time off and came over to see them. The four girls came all the way to Tokyo because of him. No matter what the reason was, he had to take responsibility for them.
"It's your turn soon, are you nervous?" He said loudly as he walked this way.
Seeing him, the four girls seemed to have a backbone, "Mr. Iwahashi!"
"Don't be afraid, the audience won't eat people."
He made a joke and glanced at the faces of the four girls, "I know that the four of you lack experience in performing on stage. It is also my fault. I made a suggestion, but in the end you were rushed to the stage."
Wang Xiaofang moved her lips and wanted to say: "No, we are very happy to come to Tokyo." If she had not come to Tokyo, she would not have gained so much experience.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi stopped her words with his eyes and continued:
"The bands and singers who are on this stage all have different bases. There are 15,000 spectators in front of you, but none of them know you, so for you, everything on this stage is irrelevant.
It’s zero. And what you have to do is add numbers to this zero.”
"Although there are many bands competing on the same stage, none of them are your opponents. In other words, this is not a competition in the first place. The stage allows for mistakes, and the music does not have to be so heavy."
He looked at the four girls whose expressions softened and said, "Take ten thousand steps back. Even if you want to defeat something, there will only be one enemy, and that is your past self."
"So, please cheer for yourselves."
After Shinichi Iwahashi finished his pre-war mobilization, he suddenly remembered the first time he went to a performance with Mimi Club. He clapped his hands and deliberately pretended to say: "That's right! I thought of a secret recipe!"
"What's the secret recipe?" The girls' attention was immediately attracted to him.
Iwahashi Shinichi started to make nonsense, "A very effective method in Japan to relieve tension and pray for victory." He raised his palms, "Write the word '人' in the palm of your hand, then bring it to your mouth and swallow it in one gulp."
"Does it work?" the girls asked, already writing in their hands.
"Always on target," Shinichi Iwahashi said firmly.
At this time, the staff came to urge them, "Get ready, it's time to go."
After hearing this, the four girls hurriedly swallowed the words in their hands and walked towards the waiting area.
Wang Xiaofang and Xiao Nan were shoulder to shoulder, and the other two girls also came close to each other, and the four of them unknowingly held hands together.
At this time, Wang Xiaofang remembered how she felt timid when she first arrived at the recording studio looking at the state-of-the-art equipment. At that time, she truly felt the gap.
But now, she has new feelings.
It is a fact that you are not as skilled as others, and it is also a fact that you have a long way to go. In this case, why should you force yourself to catch up with others?
When running long-distance, before overtaking your opponent, the first person you overtake is actually yourself.
"Mr. Iwahashi is right, we have to defeat ourselves..." She calmed down, spoke slowly, like a whisper, and started the final pre-war mobilization with her three teammates.
This band from Rabbit Country has good instrument skills but is very unfamiliar with Typhoon. It seems that they are not suitable for such a large open-air venue. When I first watched their performance, Daikoku Moki thought it was ordinary.
However, as she gradually watched, she felt a different kind of charm in these four girls. The faces of the four girls on the stage were filled with innocent smiles like children. The smiles seemed very pure and full of heart.
A smile that loves music and doesn’t think about anything.
No one would doubt that they were not giving their best performance.
This kind of performance reminds Daikuro Moki of the children who rushed to the music classroom every day with great energy when they first started to contact music.
Although he is still young, he runs forward harder than anyone else.
She couldn't help but cheer for these girls. Together with the audience gathered in front of the stage, they also sent their kind support.
…
In any open-air venue, the probability of rain increases sharply during a performance. It’s like it’s hard to figure out when to get off work and when to rain in summer. However, the weather was beautiful today, and the weather was good from the opening until the sun went down.
In the evening, Watanabe Mayumi left the office, went to have some dinner first, then drove to Wangan Plaza alone, parked the car, and walked towards the entrance of the music festival.
From such a long distance, you can hear the sound leakage in the venue and the shouts of the audience, like the white steam of freshly steamed buns wafting out from the gaps in the cage, carrying an alluring fragrance.
Even before entering, I felt such enthusiasm. Watanabe Wan Yumi also felt warm in her heart.
At this time, it was already 6:40 in the evening, and there were still 20 minutes before Shinichi Iwahashi's DreamseTrue came on stage. Watanabe Manyumi agreed with him to come to the show when his band came on stage.
She entered the venue wearing her professional attire and looked a little out of place in the bustling venue. Audience members who passed her from behind couldn't help but turn around to look at her.
Watanabe Mayumi didn't take it seriously and walked towards the direction where the cheers were gathered. There was a dense crowd of spectators in front of her. She came alone and was more flexible, trying to move forward through the gap between her shoulders and shoulder pieces.
She looks like a naughty female student, which doesn't go well with her professional attire.
However, before she put on this professional attire, she also had such a lively and frivolous era. Watanabe Wan Yumi stood still and her eyes fell on the big screen of the stage, where an underground band called his was performing.
Although it was not her intended target, she naturally participated in the interaction. Once upon a time, when she was in college, she participated in many music festivals with her friends and knew how to play.
…
His performance lasted twenty minutes. When they sang the last song in the front, Shinichi Iwahashi finally came to join his two teammates in the stage preparation area backstage.
The staff member who was also in charge of logistics saw that he was dressed like an office worker and asked kindly: "Iwahashi-san, why don't you go change your clothes?"
"It doesn't matter." he said.
The three people gathered together and began to discuss the speech for the next appearance.
"Dear viewers, we are DreamseTrue. We are honored to be invited to participate in Naon no Yaon today. We are a band that has not yet made a mainstream debut. Today, we would like to invite everyone to watch our performance." Shinichi Iwahashi thought it through.
The opening remarks were made.
"Haha, Mr. Shen Yi is so serious!"
Miwa Yoshida was overjoyed. He was wearing a straight suit and speaking such official words. He didn't look like he was coming to the music festival.
"So, it's up to you to say these words." Iwahashi Shinichi also laughed, "If I were to say it, the audience might think that I am in the wrong place."
After he left the stage, it was finally their turn to appear. Watanabe Wan Yumi stared at the big screen and couldn't help but smile when she saw the three people appearing on the stage.
Shinichi Iwahashi, who appeared on stage in a crisp suit, was much "weird" than she, who came to the show in professional attire.
