As soon as she returned to the backstage, Miwa Yoshida looked like she was exhausted after just finishing the game and wanted to find a supportive athlete. She also looked like a little animal who acted coquettishly and begged for praise after doing something (what she thought was a good thing). She naturally went to Shinichi Iwahashi.
Lean to the side.
Iwahashi Shinichi had become accustomed to it early on, so he put his arms around her shoulders and patted her gently, not only telling her that she had done well just now, but also to comfort her for her hard work.
You don't need to say the words, just reach out your hand to convey these thoughts.
This stems from the tacit understanding and mutual trust that has been accumulated over time.
After receiving the response, Miwa-chan was immediately satisfied. She held Shinichi Iwahashi with her left hand and Masato Nakamura with her right hand. The three of them walked to the lounge under the guidance of the staff.
As soon as they entered the door, everyone in the room turned their attention to the three people who were on the TV just now.
People who were performing on TV a moment ago are right next to them in a moment. This experience can only be experienced by the bands backstage.
But now, the various bands belonging to different camps are so unified for them, as if they have rehearsed in advance. The reason is simply because everyone is thinking about the same thing.
These three guys are too powerful, right?
Among the glances directed at them, there was curiosity, admiration, and simple inquisitive observation, but there was no dissatisfaction.
When there is not much difference in strength, there will be various thoughts and voices, but in the face of absolute strength, the voices become unified.
As soon as she came back, she was given a gift of attention. Yoshida Miwa didn't take it seriously and showed a sunny smile. She didn't care at all about the direct gaze that came her way. Instead, she used her own smile to diffuse the atmosphere in the room.
The three people sat down in their seats and watched the live TV broadcast.
…
Everything that happened next seemed logical.
I have pity for the band who came out behind DreamseTrue. The lingering lingering effect of the bombshell thrown by those three people just now has not faded away. Everyone present, including the audience in front of the TV series, still had their performance echoing in their hearts.
In this way, no matter how cleverly the players in the queue work, they will be unable to overwhelm the influence of this king.
But to put it bluntly, participating in a competition is not a game of poker. What kind of performance the band can perform does not depend on the luck of the card draw, but on its own strength.
The cards they hold in their hands now are the best cards they can have at the moment.
The bands that debuted for the first time completed their performances one after another, and the last one to appear was the winner of the previous period as the defender.
This is a band named Banila, which has won three consecutive periods. If they can successfully hold the stage tonight, they will continue to move towards the decisive king's throne.
At the beginning of the show, Banila was not impressed by the bands that appeared in front of them and didn't take them to heart.
However, after watching the entire performance of DreamseTrue on live television, this three-game winning band suddenly felt unprecedented pressure.
…
On the stage, Banila's performance was wonderful. She was able to win three consecutive weeks, and her strength should not be underestimated.
Akamatsu Haruko, who was sitting in the representative seat, watched Banila's performance with great devotion, but for some reason, a thought came to her mind: There are countless mountains in Japan.
There are countless mountains in Japan, including the most famous Mount Fuji, and there are also small mountains that only locals know about.
For the general public, they are probably more willing to praise Mount Fuji than to praise small mountains. However, famous mountains like Mount Fuji are very desirable, and unknown hills also have the beauty of small mountains.
Tonight, DreamseTrue's performance is undoubtedly the one with the most outstanding scenery among the mountains.
However, other bands also have their own merits.
Finally, all the performances ended, and the bands that had performed tonight stood on the stage again.
Akamatsu Haruko sat on the representative seat and looked at DreamseTrue standing on the stage with other bands.
Even if bands from various genres and costumes gather together, Iwahashi Shinichi's giraffe headband still looks very conspicuous.
Because of this, even if the band did not deliberately stand in a conspicuous position, Akamatsu Haruko could still find where they were standing at first glance.
Even so, after watching their performance, I don't think it's funny at all when I look at Shinichi Iwahashi's giraffe headgear.
Not only does Akamatsu Haruko not find it funny, she also feels that having such a giraffe man in the band adds a touch of fantasy, which goes well with the name "Dreams Come True".
On the stage, host Yuji Miyake stood at the front, facing the camera.
"Then, it's time to announce the winner of this program again. Will Banila win four times in a row, or will a new band take over?"
"It's DreamseTrue! They stopped Banila from moving forward, and Band Heaven has given birth to a new winner."
The expected answer!
"Congratulations!"
At this moment, the entire studio was surrounded by waves of applause.
…
Late at night, in order not to disturb the family, the sound of the TV was turned down to the lowest level. Because of this, Miyake Yuji's words on the TV sounded a bit unreal amidst the cheers.
"Although everyone from Banila is sorry, according to the rules, you will still get an opportunity to release a single in the future. At that time, the audience who supports Banila can go and buy their single.
If they can sell more than 10,000 copies, then they can get another chance to be evaluated by the record company..."
Finally, as usual, Miyake Yuji asked Dreamsetrue, the new winning band, "What is the name of the song you just sang? Please tell everyone again."
The camera captured the new winner on the stage. The bassist had a smiling expression just like when he performed on the stage before.
The keyboard player wearing a giraffe hood stood next to the lead singer, with a tall and straight posture. People couldn't help but wonder, what kind of person is under this hood?
As for the lead singer who stole the show tonight, I thought she would be as relaxed as she was during the performance. However, facing the sea of celebrations, she replied a little shyly: "So happy! So happy! I love it so much.
!”
After telling him the name of the song, he showed a small smile.
"So happy! So happy! I like it so much! Okay, please remember this song and the feeling this song brings to everyone."
Miyake Yuji took back the microphone, faced the camera again, and finally said: "Then, today's program ends here."
On the TV screen, the list of cast and crew members began to scroll rapidly.
Kamai Sachiko didn't turn off the TV until she watched the names being played one after another until the end.
There was only a small lamp on in the living room, and the light was dim.
At this time, both her parents had gone to bed, and her younger brother had gone out to play with friends on Saturday and did not come home. Thinking that her parents and she were the only ones in this house, Kamaike Sachiko felt particularly quiet.
The Puchi family, a big family with three children, used to be lively and lively at all times. Sometimes it was too noisy, which made her envious of families with only children.
However, when she grew up, she really missed the noisy past with her younger brothers and sisters.
Sachiko Kamaiike turned off the radiator and stood up from the kotatsu table.
Although it was already the end of February, the weather was still very cold. As soon as I left the kotatsu and walked upstairs through the corridor, I still felt chilly.
She carefully kept her footsteps quiet so as not to disturb her parents.
Ever since she learned about Band Paradise, Sachiko Kamaike has become a loyal viewer of the show.
The reason why I like this show may be because I had the experience of forming a band when I was a student, maybe because the show itself is well done, or maybe it awakens memories of my youth.
All in all, she managed to see through to the present.
During this period, she saw performances by student bands, bands by people who were already working, and even more bands that made music in the underground music circle while working part-time.
Watching one episode after another, Kamaike Sachiko vaguely understood the real reason why she liked this program.
If you have not pursued your music dream yourself, then it would be good to take a look at the process of others pursuing their dreams.
Back in the bedroom, Kamaike Sachiko did not sleep, but sat in front of the desk, stretched out her fingers, and gently turned the globe again and again.
After watching the first episode of Band Heaven, the globe that had been placed in the corner of her desk once again returned to her. When she returned home with nothing to do, she often sat here, just like she did when she was a girl.
, turn this globe.
Kamaike Sachiko attended a women's junior college, and the atmosphere of the entire school was that "what you learn at the junior college is the transition before entering marriage."
I already know how my life will go, so the girls around me live a relaxed and comfortable life without fear of the future at all.
"We are girls born in the best of times!"
My friend Junko Aoyama always says this.
Once upon a time, she decided to give up her dream and join Kanzaki Real Estate as a pink-collar worker. Kamaike Sachiko was content with living this mindless life and enjoying the prosperity of Tokyo as an ordinary urban woman.
And all of this changed after seeing the band Paradise and being reminded of my youth.
Once you start thinking about it, once you realize the unwillingness in your heart, you will no longer be able to live such a life with peace of mind.
Isn’t it a kind of unwillingness to watch Band Paradise’s performance from one episode to the next and immerse yourself in other people’s dreams?
It's like being unwilling to spend three hours a day commuting to and from work, but also going to Tokyo to take a job with a monthly salary of 180,000 yen.
"So happy! So happy! I love it so much!"
Sachiko Kamaiike stared at the globe, and the music played by the band just now suddenly floated in her mind.
The straightforward and colloquial lyrics, coupled with the female lead singer's hearty singing, and her cheerful and outgoing personality on stage, give her a courageous and forward-moving energy.
Such a band really fits the name "Dream Come True".
Sachiko Kamaiike likes the phrase "dreams come true".
So, is it because of the "dreams coming true" that you have the courage to move forward, or is it because you have the courage to move forward that you can "dreams come true"?
If she were still a student, maybe she would participate in the competition... When watching the show, it was like comforting herself who had not taken a step forward even though she was unwilling to do so, Kamaike Yukiko always thought like this.
But this is actually a manifestation of cowardice.
She was born in February 1967, so she is already twenty-one years old this year. If you have always been a pink-collar worker, then it is best to decide on your marriage partner when you are around twenty-three years old, and resign from the company before you are twenty-five years old.
Then, she becomes a housewife and lives a life similar to her mother's. Once a girl gets married, she will naturally inherit part of her mother's body.
Such a certain life does not require much thinking, and there is no need to worry about changes. In contrast, if it is an uncertain life, it will be several times harder.
But is life without changes easy or heavy?
In fact, now there is an opportunity to change...
Sachiko Kamaiike opened the drawer and took out a business card. It was given to her by a talent scout who claimed to be a star agency when she and Junko Aoyama were walking on the streets of Harajuku two weeks ago.
"You are tall, well proportioned, and so beautiful..."
The talent scout had a sweet mouth. After praising her, he left this business card and told her that if she was interested in becoming an artist, please be sure to call him at the phone number above.
After the scout left, Junko Aoyama's reaction was even more exaggerated than hers, as if she was the one who received the business card.
"Sachiko, the people from the Star Agency want to sign you to be a star!"
"When you become a star, you will appear on TV, act in TV series, release records, and maybe even see the cosmetics advertisement you endorse in the tram car..."
Junko Aoyama envisions her future stardom.
"Even so..."
Kamachi Sachiko cannot be like her when facing excited friends.
Junko Aoyama said "Oh~", "Sachiko, are you worried that this talent scout is a bad person? Recently, there have been a lot of talent scouts fishing in troubled waters and deceiving people under the guise of filming advertisements."
The friend spoke so directly that Sachiko Kamaichi's face became hot.
Recently, there has been a common topic among office workers. A certain girl was invited by a well-dressed talent scout to shoot for a magazine. After signing the contract, she found out that she was to make a video tape starting with the letter "A".
The people who made this kind of video tape are all evil people behind the scenes, and they won’t be able to regret it even if they want to.
"Don't worry, there is a way!"
Junko Aoyama was enthusiastic and took the initiative to give advice to her friends, "Just call and ask and we will know."
While talking, he made an inquiry call. This friend was extremely efficient and quickly confirmed that the scout was really from Xingchen Agency.
"Can you feel relieved now?" Junko Aoyama said.
It is definitely better to be an artist than to be a pink-collar worker with no future. Dress nicely and appear on TV. If you are lucky, you will become famous in no time. You may even meet a handsome actor. Junko Aoyama listed various benefits of being an artist for her.
Kamai Sachiko looked at the business card in her hand and recalled what Junko Aoyama said, but she thought of something else.
If I sign with an agency, can I become a singer?
A life without changes may not be easy if you are not willing to accept the burden.
So, do you want to make changes?
Kamai Sachiko stretched out her finger and gently pushed the globe.
