The staff came over and asked the representatives to go to the studio to prepare.
The representatives who came to participate in the show also stayed in a large lounge like the participating amateur bands.
However, compared to the variety of elements gathered together in the room where the band is located, this lounge is so ordinary that it makes people feel boring.
The representatives all wore professional attire, and almost all were in cyan or black colors. Coming in from the outside, at first glance, it was difficult to tell who was who.
The record company representatives stood up and walked out one after another. Two-thirds of the people in the lounge were gone. Watanabe Wan Yumi turned to look at Akamatsu Haruko and said, "Let's go there too, Haruko."
"Yes."
Akamatsu Haruko agreed, stood up with Watanabe Wan Yumi, and walked to the studio.
…
The live broadcast started at 11:20, and the participating bands had to wait at the TV station one or two hours in advance. The representatives did not arrive at short notice. At around 10 o'clock, they would go to TV Asahi to wait.
From the season when Begin won the championship to now, for Genzo, Akamatsu Haruko has been representing Iwahashi Shinichi at the representative seat.
During this period, she witnessed begin winning the championship, witnessing the new band winning, and then, the band that won two consecutive periods was defeated by the new band.
She also witnessed the first-generation champion Begin signing with amuse, and Begin's final record contract being signed with Tokuma Records. She also witnessed the winner of the first phase of the show, Human Chair, successfully complete the sales task of 10,000 copies, and get a chance to debut.
In addition, she has also witnessed the program's ratings slowly rising from 19.7. Now the average ratings fluctuate between 20 and 22, becoming a prime-time show that makes TV Asahi proud and makes rival TV stations uneasy.
Super program.
…
When she came to the TV station for the first time, Akamatsu Haruko was misunderstood by the TV station people as an artist who came to record the program.
Akamatsu Haruko knew that she was a beauty, but it would be hypocritical to say she didn't know. Not only was she mistaken for an artist, but a representative also sent her a business card, asking her to consider signing with an agency.
When I came here for the first time, there was such a funny episode.
However, as she participated more often, the staff of the TV station and the representatives she worked with all knew that she was the representative of Genzo.
Those who gave her business cards also knew that she had no intention of becoming an entertainer, but even so, they treated her very kindly.
Iwahashi Shinichi entrusted her to Watanabe Wan Yumi, because of this, Akamatsu Haruko sat with Watanabe Wan Yumi whether in the lounge or at the delegates' table.
During the live broadcast of the program, the camera occasionally panned over the representative seats. Iwahashi Shinichi, who used to be wearing a suit and looked no different from other representatives, was sitting there. No one in the audience paid attention.
Now, a beauty is sitting there, and the person sitting next to her is also a beauty.
Not only that, although these two female representatives are both beauties, their temperaments are completely opposite. One is a polished person, the other is delicate and capable. Sitting separately may not have such a strong feeling, but next to each other, they are more attractive to the eyes.
Once upon a time, Watanabe Mayumi and Iwahashi Shinichi sat next to each other, and next to them was a serious-looking male representative. Instead, the audience ignored her in the sea of blue and black suits.
But now I sit next to Akamatsu Haruko, the two of them reflect each other, and each of them is more attractive. Even after the last two episodes of the program, there are still viewers calling to ask who these two female representatives are.
…
After sitting down at the representative seat, Watanabe Wan Yumi looked at her watch, "There are still ten minutes left." She said to Akamatsu Haruko, "Today may be a tough battle, Haruko."
After often working together, Watanabe Mayumi changed her nickname to Akamatsu Haruko "Haruko".
Akamatsu Haruko replied: "Yes, Watanabe-san."
The reason why I say this is because the band competing today is a hard rock band that has won three consecutive awards. The bands competing tonight will challenge such a strong team.
The first game that dreamsetrue came to participate in was to compete with such a strong team.
Watanabe Wan Yumi and Akamatsu Haruko understood each other tacitly and did not continue talking.
Akamatsu Haruko has seen the band perform and has great confidence in the band. The only thing that makes her curious and uneasy is Shinichi Iwahashi who has to wear a giraffe hood to perform.
I wonder what the effect will be if she puts on a hood and appears? She thought to herself and couldn't help but look at Watanabe Wanyumi.
Watanabe Wan Yumi was checking the work manual in her hand and didn't pay attention to Akamatsu Haruko's gaze.
Akamatsu Haruko is not the kind of beauty that people find annoying. On the contrary, she is well-educated and well-liked by Watanabe Manyumi. Watanabe Manyumi happens to be the kind of working woman that Akamatsu Haruko feels attracted to, so the two have a good relationship.
In the eyes of Akamatsu Haruko, Iwahashi Shinichi is a person with outstanding abilities and worthy of admiration, and Watanabe Mayumi also gives her the same feeling. Akamatsu Haruko respects Iwahashi Shinichi in her heart, so she also likes and respects Watanabe Mayumi.
At this time, seeing her immersed in the task at hand and not paying any attention to the appearance of Shinichi Iwahashi's band, Akamatsu Haruko was affected and felt relieved.
At this time, the dispatcher's voice sounded in the venue: "There are still five minutes of live broadcast, please be ready."
The staff hurriedly ran off the stage, and the huge studio was suddenly silent except for the sound of the countdown shouted by the staff every minute.
Even though she has sat here more than once, Akamatsu Haruko still feels a little nervous when she is in this countdown atmosphere.
"Countdown to five seconds"
After saying this, the staff began to use hand gestures to count down: four, three, two, one!
…
The new phase of Band Heaven has officially begun.
After the busy work in the studio, it entered a glorious live broadcast state, and the backstage staff were still hurriedly making arrangements. After the first band came on stage, the third band in line was called to wait.
In the lounge, there is a TV that can watch live broadcasts.
One-third of the bands who are still here are indifferent to the live broadcast, and the rest of them are all watching the TV involuntarily, even if they are just looking out of boredom, it is hard to say that they don't care at all.
.
The first one to appear was a two-person folk band, singing very weird lyrics. Yoshida Miwa was amused by their lyrics, and she whispered against the giraffe's plush face: "It's so boring!"
Although it is boring, it is also very funny. In other words, it is the kind of boredom that makes people laugh. The reviewers probably thought so too, and gave them elimination packages while laughing.
Watching the TV screen shrink and the stage shrink in circles, this is a scene I am used to seeing.
However, it still gives people a strange feeling to think that the place where all this happened is in the studio next to them.
