Takao Tajima, who was backstage, looked at the performances of the bands that were on stage. Just like what we saw in the first episode, there were still various bands on stage.
However, bands of different styles were mixed together and took turns on the stage, but surprisingly it didn't give people a chaotic feeling.
That's because of the existence of "invisible scripts".
In order to create highlights, the lineup was decided after a collective review by the production team, taking into account factors such as band characteristics, highlights, conflicts between bands, etc.
Although human hands are involved, this is not cheating, it is just how to make the most of the players.
Shinichi Iwahashi sat on the review bench and watched one band after another come on and then leave.
Watching a program in front of the TV and watching it live give people two different feelings. I watched the premiere at home, and these bands were all selected by him based on the effect of the program. Therefore, when watching the program, there is no such feeling.
A feeling of excitement.
But I personally picked it out myself. When I was there, I was inevitably infected by the atmosphere of the band's performance, and couldn't help but immerse myself in their various performances, which were either powerful, full of personality, or nonsensical.
During this period, Yuji Miyake, who is good at controlling the scene, also resolved the unexpected moves made by the amateur band from time to time, and even dropped the topic to the representatives sitting behind the censors, attracting these "amateur" representatives as well.
Enter the battle line.
The audience in front of the TV is often amused by the nonsensical actions of the inexperienced amateur band, and they are also intoxicated by the performance of the band that shows their extraordinary skills. Facing the band with different personalities and styles, they can't help but sigh in their hearts.
, it turns out that there are so many excellent bands in the underground music circle and among the people.
Let the audience realize the excellence of the band, feel a pity that the excellent band cannot debut and become popular, and hope to hear more songs from the band... As the program is broadcast, the plan to promote the band will be half successful.
One band after another appeared and exited, and the stage was very lively. The next band to appear was a band called originallove.
When they stood on the stage, looking at their appearance, they looked like the kind of band that could be seen everywhere when Shinichi Iwahashi was in the underground music circle. There was nothing eye-catching about them. The only thing that made Shinichi Iwahashi care about was the relationship between the lead singer and the musicians.
The painting style is subtly different.
For the audience, there will be no special feelings when seeing such a band. However, from the perspective of Shinichi Iwahashi, who is used to seeing bands, this band is not so much a band, but more like a solo singer.
It feels like bringing your own team.
Although there was no deliberate attempt to create a personality gap, there was a subtle sense of distance between the lead singer and his teammates.
After a simple greeting, the performance began.
When the music starts, people's ears can't help but light up, and they immediately realize that this is a high-level band. However, as the song slowly unfolds, problems are also exposed.
This song is so "powerfully written".
Rather than saying this is irony, it is better to say that being smart leads to being misled, and being too powerful leads to retribution. This piece combines a variety of different musical elements, like a piece of music that can be made into a big meal on its own.
The vegetables were stewed into a pot.
Tajima Takao thinks very highly of himself, and of course, he does have a genius that he is proud of.
Since he started trying to compose his own music, he has played various styles of music, whether it is rock or post-punk, guitar pop or funk, or Japanese ballads, or even national music, acid jazz and other elements.
, and play the music around.
Despite this, he remained silent in the underground music scene for a long time.
The period of obscurity allowed me to accumulate inspiration and hone my skills, but it also left me with the depression of not being recognized for my talents and the instability of being eager to show off myself.
He wanted to win in the show and thought that talent shows were about shocking the public, so he wanted to come up with songs that showcased his talents. Tajima prepared songs with this idea in mind, but in the end, he fell into a misunderstanding.
He plays around with music, but sometimes he is also played around by music.
He came with the heart to win, ready to compete with the chairs in the world. Although he completed a complete three-minute performance, he received some extremely spicy comments as soon as the performance ended.
"How should I put it? It's like an aunt from the nouveau riche dressed up as a movable jewelry exhibition stand and came out." Ken Yoshida spits out fragrance when he opens his mouth. He is so good at talking, it really makes people worry about whether he will be picked up when walking at night.
Put a sack on it.
Shinichi Iwahashi, who was sitting in the representative seat, couldn't help laughing when he heard this vivid comment. He looked thoughtfully at the lead singer on the stage who was given a knowing blow by Takeshi Yoshida, whose face changed a little but was trying to restrain himself.
…
Ruined.
Tajima Takao came down from the stage with this sentence echoing in his mind.
Passing by the band that was about to appear backstage, he silently stepped out of the way and returned to his seat to sit down, feeling an indescribable sense of frustration.
I thought about getting ahead, but ended up going full circle and back to where I started.
This episode of the program finally ended with the second consecutive victory of Human Chair. Tajima Takao and his teammates returned to the stage with other bands that appeared, acting as wallflowers for the winners.
…
"Okay~ That's it!"
After the director made this announcement, there was a moment of silence in the studio, and then there was a burst of applause, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone!"
The atmosphere in the studio relaxed.
The amateur bands who kept a distance from the human chairs before the show started. As the results of the show settled, the previous sense of distance disappeared and they were able to talk to the human chairs calmly.
In addition to talking to the human chair, the atmosphere also changed between the band and the band.
The three examiners left the stage, and the representatives on the representative bench also left one after another. Iwahashi Shinichi got up from his seat, walked to Watanabe Wan Yumi, and waved to her.
Watanabe Manyumi understood, walked up to him, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Shinichi-kun."
Iwahashi Shinichi stared at the amateur bands who were being guided backstage by the staff, and told his thoughts to Watanabe Wan Yumi.
After hearing this, Watanabe Wan Yumi pondered, "I understand."
…
After returning to the backstage, Tajima Takao and his teammates packed up their things and prepared to leave. They came with great ambitions, but ended up with a huge setback. Tajima Takao didn't show it on his face, but he felt extremely disappointed in his heart.
This failure means that the distance between him and his dreams and goals has not shortened, and he has gained nothing except loss. His teammates understand his mood and are aware of all the preparations he has made for the show, but it is inconvenient to comfort him at this time.
he.
However, when such a defeated team left the TV station, they were stopped by someone.
