At the end of August, before the end of summer vacation, the most grand performance finally arrived.
In Tokyo, nearly 60,000 spectators who had grabbed tickets rushed to Wangan Plaza for this moment. In addition to the spectators who entered the venue, there were also spectators outside the venue who could not grab tickets and still gathered nearby.
Outside of Tokyo, several big cities have also gathered tens of thousands of people for performances. This performance is expected to attract 120,000 spectators, participating in different forms and places.
On the day of the performance, in the afternoon, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori went to Wangan Plaza together. However, the two of them came here today not to be spectators and dance in the square with 60,000 people.
Tetsuya Komuro and his electronic dance music are the targets of Shinichi Iwahashi's attention. Today's Wangan Plaza is Tetsuya Komuro's home stadium, and Shinichi Iwahashi, a supporter of Tetsuya Komuro, will naturally appear in the background.
This is not only to show the importance and support for this performance, but also a declaration of power.
On an important occasion, Shinichi Iwahashi wanted to come over, so he also called Akina Nakamori to come with him. After becoming a naturalized citizen, it was only natural that he could take his wife to participate in the event.
Since holding a press conference to announce her marriage, Nakamori Akina's work schedule has been reduced a lot, and it is not difficult to free up her schedule for this day.
In the second half of this year, in addition to the tour and new album release plans that have already been scheduled and are currently being performed, Akina Nakamori's other work, whether it is participating in TV shows or magazine shoots, has been significantly reduced.
This is a deliberate arrangement. Once Nakamori Akina's identity changes, on the one hand she has to take care of her family and can no longer work with the same intensity. On the other hand, married female celebrities and unmarried female celebrities also have different choices in their work choices.
.
After all, he is the fashion king of Harajuku and the Kamisama in the eyes of young people.
Sakamoto Takuji treated Nakamori Akina very gently. After showing kindness to her with his eyes, he looked at Shinichi Iwahashi and said, "I never imagined that one day I would perform in front of 60,000 people."
With such a grudge in her heart, Akina Nakamori listened with a smile on her face - laughing at Shinichi Iwahashi who held a grudge over this matter.
Compared to his interaction with Nakamori Akina, when facing Iwahashi Shinichi, Sakamoto Takuji's tone immediately became much more frivolous.
If I really want to say it, Shinichi Iwahashi actually quite appreciates Tetsuya Komuro's high-spirited attitude. Compared with his polite and humble remarks, he has an aura of "the time has come".
"Her name is Ichiro Yuri, and she is a member of an idol group..." Sakamoto Takuji introduced verbally.
This joke made Sakamoto Takuji, who dressed up as a woman and behaved like a lady, not hold back and laughed hard. His ladylike behavior was lost at this moment. He laughed and agreed, "To say it's cool, it's not cool.
Cooler than Hiroshi Fujiwara."
Takuji Sakamoto stopped clicking, changed the topic, and thanked Shin Iwahashi, "But thanks to Mr. Iwahashi's idea, such a performance is possible."
Iwahashi Shinichi teased him, "That's why Nagao-kun switched from your sect to Fujiwara Hiroshi's sect."
The office, on the one hand, adjusted its work to accommodate Nakamori Akina's change in identity, and on the other hand, it truthfully sent her the invitation to her, leaving it up to her to decide.
Iwahashi Shin's family has a Tao Pu Shida. If you look at his wife, you will know more about the rules of the entertainment industry.
Mimi CLUB came from a willful act of Ishii Ryuya. After the group became popular, this willfulness was implemented even more thoroughly. Now, the number of members in the group has increased, and it has exceeded 20 people. The number of people has increased, and the performances have become more and more complete.
There are so many tricks, even Ishii Ryuya's sister completed a major life event in the group and chose a husband among the members who joined later.
Cross-dressing tycoon Takuji Sakamoto is also a member of the performance lineup today. Old friends meet each other. When Akina Nakamori saw him, she had the most sincere smile on her face, as if she was relieved.
However, unlike the bleak idols, Mimi CLUB is now very popular. As a performance band, their gorgeous stage style and wonderful performances have made their concerts full, and the performance videos they have released have sold out every time.
, and also set an almost legendary record of selling over one million copies of the concert video.
After all, she was a young girl who could be invited by Tetsuya Komuro to participate in this performance. Akina Nakamori was a little curious about what kind of girl she would be.
The topic between Shinichi Iwahashi and Takuji Sakamoto revolved around Hiroshi Fujiwara and Tomaki Nagao, who was now following Hiroshi Fujiwara. However, Akina Nakamori focused on the girl who was close to Tomaki Nagao.
Takuji Sakamoto caught this subtle reaction and asked, "Iwahashi-kun, have you heard of this group?" He smiled and said, "If so, this group is more famous than I thought."
"On the other hand, Nagao-kun himself seems to lack interest in such an occasion. When I heard that the performance was for 60,000 people, I immediately thanked him." Takuji Sakamoto sighed, "Unlike me, I immediately cheered up when I heard that there were 60,000 people in the audience.
Already."
Tetsuya Komuro, who is in his prime, handsome in appearance, and elegant in manner, is indeed the chosen one for this fashion.
Nakamori Akina was a member of an idol group, and it was a bit incredible. Shinichi Iwahashi was concerned about another point, "Is it an active idol or a transformed idol?"
Sure enough, watching your own family lively is the most interesting thing.
The industry recognizes that today is an ice age for idols. One after another solo idols have failed in their debuts. Male idol groups are monopolized by Johnny. They can still breathe a few more breaths with the help of mountains, but female idol groups are even more bleak than solo female idols.
of.
When Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori arrived near Wangan Plaza, the area was already crowded with people. Nearly 60,000 spectators are expected to enter the venue. For this performance, audience preparations for admission began three hours before the official start.
"That disciple of yours?" Iwahashi Shinichi replied.
Hiroshi Fujiwara has not always been so cool. After he first became famous and had his own brand, he also ran his own brand aggressively. However, once fashion started to be sold in large quantities, it immediately lost its charm. So, there
After that, this fashion king began to consciously stay away from commercialization.
Of course, the premise is that there is no dangerous excitement.
Takuji Sakamoto made a disbelieving expression, "I am the disciple of Hiroshi Fujiwara. How can I be compared with Hiroshi Fujiwara..."
…
Takuji Sakamoto did not deliberately avoid the experience of Mimi CLUB, but he never mentioned it in particular. He guessed that Shinichi Iwahashi would think of it and would never tell the truth. He continued to introduce: "It is a group called 'Tokyo Dance Dolls'
.”
Sakamoto Takuji's joke was as successful as Iwahashi Masaaki's cold joke. Iwahashi Shinichi was a little speechless, but Wang Zhongmori Akina was amused and nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense."
This kind of performance is different from a concert. The most important thing is the atmosphere. Even if you are outside the venue, as long as enough people gather around you and listen to the sounds reflected from the venue, you can organize an impromptu party.
In private, you can brag as much as you want.
Although the protagonist of the stage is Tetsuya Komuro, as Takuji Sakamoto spoke, he believed that the credit went to Shinichi Iwahashi. Shinichi Iwahashi smiled and said, "I want to say, thanks to all of you who came to support me, such a performance was possible.
"
Since he was here to perform, of course Takuji Sakamoto carefully dressed up in women's clothing today. Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but sarcastically asked him, "Did you try to strike up a conversation with anyone backstage today?"
After meeting Tetsuya Komuro, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori greeted others invited backstage.
He changed his subject and said, "However, it is possible without being in front of Hiroshi Fujiwara."
Shinichi Iwahashi has nothing to do with fashion. His understanding of Hiroshi Fujiwara came from Takuji Sakamoto’s introduction. He listened to it during a casual chat, but after that, he didn’t go out of his way to understand this person’s interests.
Iwahashi Shinichi initially felt that it was better to forget some things than to hold grudges.
Iwahashi Shinichi nodded politely, and Nakamori Akina returned the favor with a smile, blessing him by the way: "I wish you and everyone all the best in today's performance."
"Of course she is an active idol." Takuji Sakamoto said matter-of-factly, "If she is an idol who has already transformed, why bother to mention her identity as an idol when introducing her."
In fact, for her, dealing with such situations is not what she is good at.
Tetsuya Komuro was not modest, "I have an absolute hunch that it will be a unique and wonderful performance."
Tetsuya Komuro plays the absolute leading role backstage, showing off his hospitality attitude as a host.
Although Komuro Tetsuya has a proud side, he is also a good dancer. Knowing that Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori arrived backstage together, he took the initiative to greet them, "Welcome, Iwahashi-kun, and Akina-chan."
If these thoughts were known to fashionistas, they would definitely regard him as a boring businessman full of copper odor.
Therefore, after ensuring the performance on stage, another top priority for this performance is to proceed smoothly.
The two men quickly reached a tacit understanding and teamed up to tease Iwahashi Shinichi.
When I heard Takuji Sakamoto talk about "Hiroshi Fujiwara's studio in Harajuku, he only makes a few pieces of the same T-shirt each time and distributes it to his friends, but it soon became a topic among young people."
Iwahashi Shinichi, who has no luck in fashion and has no emotions, all flashes in his mind are various salesman's methods.
The three people were talking and laughing here, and this atmosphere was quite conspicuous in the background. However, for a while, none of the three people had any intention of ending the conversation.
This sentence is particularly interesting from Takuji Sakamoto. After all, when introducing Takuji Sakamoto, no one would add the label "former Mimi CLUB member" in front of him.
Takuji Sakamoto had enough jokes and told Shinichi Iwahashi that a girl who was close to Tomaki Nagao came to the performance today.
Takuji Sakamoto had a good impression of Nakamori Akina and took care of her a lot. Nakamori Akina mentioned this matter again, so he acted as the introducer and took the two people to meet him.
In the planning stage, the executive committee took this part of the off-site audience into consideration. Therefore, the security specifications prepared for the performance ensure that even if a gathering of 100,000 people is held here, it will be foolproof.
When Nakamori Akina was just a star and in the entertainment industry, she didn't like those so-called adult rules. But now, being on the same life path as Iwahashi Shin and others, she regards understanding these as natural.
thing.
Today, the entire Wangan Plaza is surrounded by stars. Tetsuya Komuro, the absolute protagonist, is only in the background at the moment, and his whole person looks high-spirited and sparkling.
For Takuji Sakamoto, he doesn’t want people to know that he was a member of Mimi’s CLUB. It’s not so much that he doesn’t want people to think that he missed a huge ship with a great future. It’s better to say that in his opinion, Mimi is now
CLUB, and the Mimi CLUB he once poured his passion into, are no longer the same thing.
Sakamoto Takuji responded to Shinichi Iwahashi with the tone of a young girl today: "It's really annoying, Iwahashi-kun is so rude."
At this point, the momentum has already risen. Just the fact that tens of thousands of people have gathered together to dance is enough to arouse the excitement of the audience.
As long as the performance on stage is worth the price and the audience is satisfied, they will spontaneously contribute to this new trend. What's more, the preparations made by GENZO and Tetsuya Komuro for this grand performance are absolutely impossible.
It’s just the level of return fare.
TV stations and advertisers also made adjustments as her status changed. The most obvious point is that although Akina Nakamori has been a famous cook and housekeeper since her debut, it was not until she got married and became a wife that she began to collect a lot of money.
Invitations to appear in relevant commercials.
On the other hand, Akina Nakamori is now called by Shinichi Iwahashi from time to time to attend official events related to GENZO. For her, it is watching Shinichi Iwahashi to understand the rules of the world of the men in black behind the scenes.
Shinichi Iwahashi shook his head, "Not famous at all." He said and smiled. But he didn't talk to Takuji Sakamoto. He looked at Akina Nakamori, "When you acted in "Lovely Season", there was someone who played the same character as you.
A girl from a theater troupe colleague."
Nakamori Akina blinked and thought carefully. However, Iwahashi Shinichi did not wait for her to find the answer, and revealed the answer, "The name is Shinohara Ryoko."
This Shinohara Ryoko is a member of the Tokyo Dance Dolls. Iwahashi Shinichi went to the studio to visit the cast and fell in love with her acting skills. Later, he went to the agency where she worked to hire someone and invited her to be a part of his short drama program on TV Tokyo.
Fixed members.
Tokyo Dance Dolls' office and record company also invited Shinichi Iwahashi to offer advice on the group's future, but Shinichi Iwahashi declined.
Yuri Ichirai is a member of this group, which solved Shinichi Iwahashi’s doubts, namely: why an active idol has the opportunity to participate in this performance.
