"...That was actually my original plan." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
Hiding his face in the hood, he could not clearly see the change in Yoshida Miwa's expression, nor could he notice the surprise of Masato Nakamura who was in the same room when he heard these words from his mouth.
If Shinichi Iwahashi quits the band, not only Miwa Yoshida, but also Masato Nakamura would find it difficult to accept. For a long time, it was Shinichi Iwahashi who was regarded as a rival by Nakamura's big brother, not Takahiro Nishikawa who only came to help once.
…
Iwahashi Shinichi had such an idea, and Nakamura Masato heard it for the first time today. However, it was not the first time that Yoshida Miwa heard him talk about it, although it was not as direct as now.
Before Christmas, Shinichi Iwahashi did not have time to attend a performance, so he suggested that Takahiro Nishikawa take his place and perform at the live house. At that time, Miwa Yoshida vaguely realized that he had such an idea.
So, throughout the New Year period, she was very worried, trying to find a good way to solve this problem and keep Iwahashi Shinichi.
She is not the kind of girl with a particularly bright mind. In other words, she lacks the necessary talent in solving problems. She sings when she is happy. This kind of personality is often regarded as an optimist. It is rare to see her worrying about the same thing.
Too long.
Because of this, when she returned to her hometown in Hokkaido and met her friends, her troubled look was a bit strange in their eyes.
"Did Miwa-chan get a boyfriend in Tokyo?" Nishino Ryoko, a friend and classmate since elementary school, gossiped.
Yoshida Miwa showed a confused expression, "Boyfriend?"
"Don't you understand this?" Ryoko Nishino said clearly, "The only thing that can keep worrying me for so long is love."
After hearing this "high opinion" from her friend, Yoshida Miwa laughed hard and asked, "Is that so?" However, she smiled and corrected her seriously, "If you have a dream, you will have dozens of times more troubles than love."
"Dream?" Nishino Ryoko was startled when she heard this serious word.
She knew that Miwa Yoshida's dream was to become a singer in her hometown of Ikeda Town. Perhaps even the fish shop uncle who often bought fish knew that she gave up studying in order to become a singer and left her hometown for Tokyo.
There was a famous female singer Miyuki Nakajima in Hokkaido. Miwa Yoshida’s friends also encouraged her that she would definitely become a singer like Miyuki Nakajima in the future. Although her idol was Miyuki Nakajima’s good friend Matsutoya, who she fell in love with and killed each other.
By reality.
In high school, Miwa Yoshida became Miyuki Nakajima's schoolmate and went to the same school as the singer who could represent Hokkaido. When she heard that there was a music teacher in the school who had taught Miyuki Nakajima, she was filled with joy.
From time to time, I would "harass" the other party with the songs I wrote, hoping to get some advice, but in the end, I would always be dismissed as worthless.
It wasn't until the last semester of her sophomore year in high school that she learned that this music teacher had belittled Miyuki Nakajima in the past. Although she had taught Miyuki Nakajima, the music teacher always felt that Miyuki Nakajima's songs were messy and had no merit.
at.
After learning about this incident, Miwa Yoshida became more confident. She felt that since Miyuki Nakajima, who had been belittled by the music teacher, had become a famous singer, she could also make her teacher so angry that her future would be unlimited (Note)
He is such an optimist, even the teacher's disparagement can be seen as a good thing.
As a friend, Ryoko Nishino knew everything about Miwa Yoshida's past. Because of this, she felt uneasy when she said something like "Dreams are dozens of times more troublesome than love" after she returned to Hokkaido this year.
Could it be that Miwa-chan’s dream of becoming a singer was shattered?
That's right, by the time her birthday is in May, Miwa-chan will be twenty-three years old. If she can't debut at this age, she probably won't have the chance to debut, right?
Nishino Ryoko wanted to comfort Miwa Yoshida and make her happy, so she called her, along with two other friends she had grown up with, and the four of them went to Asahiyama Zoo together.
Asahiyama Zoo in Asahikawa City is a very famous zoo even in Japan. When they were students, they often visited here to play.
Accompanied by friends and in a healing zoo, Miwa Yoshida also had a great time.
The giraffes that live in the tropics hid themselves because they couldn't stand the extreme cold in Hokkaido. The girls felt a little pity, so they agreed to take a giraffe souvenir back to the place that sells peripherals later.
In the place where peripherals are sold, there are various dolls, pendants to hang on backpacks, and keychains and other gadgets. Among them, the largest and most silly-looking one is the giraffe headband.
"Who would buy something like this?" Ryoko Nishino just said this to her friend with a smile, and her friend picked up the hood and said, "Isn't this cute?"
"...Yes, it's very cute." But this bulky thing is of no use at all, right?
However, when looking at this giraffe hood, Miwa Yoshida had a naive idea in her heart.
…
"But now, I have slightly changed my mind." Iwahashi Shinichi started, interrupting Yoshida Miwa's thoughts. As a result, before he started speaking, he asked her, "Can I take this off now?"
"
Yoshida Miwa responded to him with silence, and it was rare that she didn't immediately follow him with questions.
Shinichi Iwahashi waited for a while, but when he didn't get a reply, he took it as her tacit consent and took off the giraffe hood. It was definitely not comfortable to be stuck in it. When his head was free again, he shook it off like a puppy.
shook his head.
Even so, Iwahashi Shinichi with short hair is not as "spectacular" as Miwa Yoshida when she shakes her hair. Rather, his current hairstyle, which is collapsed by the hood and lying listlessly on his scalp, really looks like a hair.
A neglected puppy.
Miwa Yoshida looked at his embarrassed look, she was obviously still angry with him, but she was amused by him at first. However, after a moment of success, she immediately became serious again.
This look really looks like a child pretending to be serious and waiting for an adult to step down.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi knew in his heart that even if he was childishly serious, he should be treated seriously.
When Yoshida Miwa gave him the giraffe hood, he may not have understood why he received such a gift.
However, when she carefully straightened his hood and praised it as "the effect is great", and now she shows this expression, if you don't understand anymore, you will have betrayed your understanding of her all along.
Miwa Yoshida has always believed in performing with Shinichi Iwahashi, and then going to further places to realize more dreams, so he formed a band.
Shinichi Iwahashi found a goal that he could strive for in forming a band. Not only did he want to push Miwa Yoshida to the top, he also wanted to set off a band wave throughout Japan.
With this grand goal in mind, he and Watanabe Manyumi took the lead in producing "Miyake Yuji's Band Paradise". The dream that originally belonged to him and Yoshida Miwa was put into this big dream together.
As the program aired, the ratings and topicality continued to rise. Not only amateur bands in Tokyo, but also amateur bands across the country knew about this program. There is no doubt that half of the success is now achieved.
However, the grand goal has made a good start, but the price is to make a choice between his and Yoshida Miwa's dreams.
When he felt that he was about to be pushed away, the little fox lying on his back finally came up with such a clumsy way.
…
"It's okay to wear this thing for a few minutes occasionally, but if it lasts for a long time, you still need to put an ice pack inside." Shinichi Iwahashi touched the buckle on the giraffe hood and expressed his feelings after wearing it seriously.
"You gave this to me, right?" he asked.
Yoshida Miwa stared at his face. His hair, which was weighed down by the hood, was still lying on his scalp stupidly. "If you don't want it, you can give it back to me," she said.
"How can you give a gift and ask for it back?" Iwahashi Shin smiled at her, "Besides, I like giraffes very much."
"Really?" Yoshida Miwa looked at his smiling face without a trace of gloom.
"Yeah." Shinichi Iwahashi touched the deer's hand with his hand, "I just told Masato-san that we will prepare the video tape for registration soon. I originally wanted to ask your fellow countryman Nishikawa-san to come over and help.
,However, you provided me with an inspiration."
He did not expose Yoshida Miwa's little calculation, and asked as if he had thought of it: "Before inviting Nishikawa-san, I would like to ask, do you two mind if a giraffe man plays the keyboard in the band?"
"I don't mind, Giraffe-kun." Big brother Nakamura, who had been gloating about his misfortune just now, said to him as if he was teasing him.
Or, he was relieved when he heard the solution.
On Shinichi Iwahashi's back was Miwa Yoshida, and for Masato Nakamura, the traveling companion he met on the road who had to go a long way was him and not Takahiro Nishikawa, whom he met only once.
"The pace of change of words is too fast." Shinichi Iwahashi complained to Nakamura Masato, who was only responsible for watching the excitement, and looked at Miwa Yoshida again.
Miwa-chan was still standing there with a straight face, looking at him.
However, this is definitely not because I am angry with him.
"I thought about it," Shinichi Iwahashi smiled at her, "If I call Nishikawa-san to help, wouldn't that mean we surrender without a fight? I won't give in easily... at least I have to fight and lose for you.
Only if it falls can we give up this position."
She called him on the first day of the new year to tell him that she had prepared a gift. She wanted to see him again and again to give him this clumsy giraffe hood.
With such a strong will, Iwahashi Shinichi could not throw the little fox lying on his back onto someone else's cart.
When he mentioned the fight about her showing off her skills again, Yoshida Miwa was amused by his words and showed her optimistic smile.
"Shinichi-kun." Miwa Yoshida finally spoke.
"Um."
"Can I change what I said before now?"
"You have said so many strange things before, which sentence do you want to change?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked deliberately.
Miwa Yoshida pouted and ignored his deliberate pretense, "That's it, my favorite keyboard player..."
She stretched out her hand and placed her palm on the top of his head. Iwahashi Shinichi lowered his head in response. Yoshida Miwa snored back and forth for him, thinking that it was a bit prickly, and finished her words, "You are the only one.
.”
"I think so too." Nakamura Masato was like a professional cheering, cheering from behind.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know what would happen if he turned into a giraffe, carried this little fox on his back, and walked forward with Winnie the Pooh, whom he met on the way. However, now that he had made the decision, he would figure it out.
The solution to all this.
What's more, just as Watanabe Mayumi said before coming here, you can't forget how he looked when he performed on the stage. Iwahashi Shinichi was able to perform like that because he loved the stage.
"Then," Shin Iwahashi put the giraffe hood on the table, "Next, let's decide which song to use in the video tape."
"Agree" Miwa-chan's carefree voice sounded.
…
Saturday night.
When eleven-twenty was still three minutes away, Moritomo Arashi turned the TV to TV Asahi, waiting for the broadcast of Band Heaven.
The name of the loser is hard to remember. No one will remember that he was the young lead singer of the band bolan who was the first to appear on the first episode of Band Heaven.
Youthfulness is a good quality at certain times, but on the stage, players who shrink from their youthfulness are destined to be eliminated and forgotten.
Failing in such an embarrassing manner in the program made him unable to hold his head up and fell into self-doubt. That day, walking on the streets of Harajuku Pedestrian Paradise, Moritomo Arashi lost the confidence to continue.
It was at that time that he met that person...
"You didn't stop and kept singing. I think that's great."
That's what the girl named Chisong told him.
…
At this time, the commercial broadcast on the TV ended, and the scene cut to the opening of the band Paradise.
After being eliminated from the show, on the one hand, he felt disappointed and unwilling. On the other hand, he also wanted to see what this show would be like. Therefore, after returning from Tokyo, he did not miss a single episode.
Then I saw it now.
Then, he saw the program team boldly showing their trump card in the program, saw one band after another with their own characteristics, watched the human chair win consecutively, and was defeated by begin again, and watched bgein go all the way to where it is now.
The final battle.
During the New Year, when friends met, they were all talking about this matter and wanted to know whether bgein could get the first generation king.
When he was involved in the topic and participated in the discussion, Moritomo Rashi felt firsthand that the influence of this program was slowly increasing.
Because of this, the shadow of failure lingers in my heart.
"Good evening, the new episode of Band Heaven has begun again"
On the TV screen, the host Yuji Miyake appeared, and behind him, the extremely familiar stage with the trap that once made Moritomo Arashi bewildered.
