The show is over, the things on stage are over, but the things behind the scenes are not over yet.
The defeated band should do whatever they want, but there are still things that need to be communicated with the defeated last winner Banila and the new winner Dreamsetrue.
Banila is to confirm the production of the next single, and dreamsetrue is to confirm the next issue.
As long as they can win one round, they will be different from ordinary underground bands.
In the lounge, Shinichi Iwahashi was still wearing a giraffe hood.
Most of the staff in charge of the reception said out of curiosity, "We've already left the stage, so it doesn't matter if we take off the hood. Isn't it uncomfortable to wear it like this?"
In this regard, Iwahashi Shinichi has his own explanation, "This is the role I play."
"I see!"
The staff accepted it without any psychological barriers, "Just like the cast members at Disneyland, right?" They immediately admired him and said, "You are really dedicated."
"..." This way of finding reasons is quite fast.
However, part of the reason why he is so easy to talk to is because, in the eyes of the staff, the keyboard player wearing a giraffe hood is not a key figure in the band, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
If you look at it this way, there is no doubt that Miwa Yoshida is the absolute core on the surface, but if we look at the popular bands with female lead singers and male musicians as a reference, the male musicians next to the female lead singers are the ones who decide the overall situation.
Now that the giraffe man has been classified as a mascot, Masato Nakamura has become the mastermind in the eyes of the staff.
None of the three people took this misunderstanding seriously, or in other words, it was not a bad thing to be thought so.
Masato Nakamura acted as the public spokesperson, while Shinichi Iwahashi continued to hide as his captain and mastermind behind the scenes.
Having said that, there used to be an era when those in black behind the scenes abided by the rules of black and never allowed themselves to come to the stage, but now, it is an era in which those in black can also stand in front of the stage.
This is the best of times, if you think about it.
…
The entire confirmation process was very short, only taking about ten minutes.
After leaving TV Asahi, Masato Nakamura went to drive his Suzuki small lunch box. He used to laugh at himself all day long with this small lunch box, saying that if he drove into Roppongi, he would be kicked out, but this time he actually drove it to the TV station.
.
In such a prosperous era, TV stations have sufficient funds, and the lives of practitioners are also smooth. In the entire parking lot, this small lunch box is undoubtedly the most broken-down car.
Pig's feet, who looks ordinary and drives a shabby car to attend some grand banquet, is ridiculed and slapped in the face by his strength. Many beauties are crying and shouting to give up the luxury car and want to get into this shabby car...
nonexistent.
The small lunch box can only hold the three of them. Of course, it cannot accommodate other people.
Miwa-chan pulled Iwahashi Shinichi, and the two of them sat in the back seat together. After getting in the car, Iwahashi Shinichi took off his hood and breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm finally free."
Even if there is a cooling patch inside the hood, it is still too much to sit in there for so long.
If you wear something like this often, you need to find a way to improve this hood.
"Thank you for your hard work, Shinichi-kun."
Miwa-chan stretched out her hand to him, and Iwahashi Shinichi expressed caution.
"Relax."
Miwa-chan was amused by his reaction. She poked the router of the giraffe hood in his hand with her finger, took the hood and held it in her arms, "Take a rest."
Shinichi Iwahashi had both hands empty, and stretched out his waist. There was no way, the space in the small lunch box was limited.
"Today's performance was perfect." Masato Nakamura said, "Now that I think about the performance just now, I still feel very excited. Even though it is not our first time to perform, tonight's performance is the best."
Tonight's performance made us more fully aware of Miwa-chan's talents and the tacit understanding between the three people who work as dreamsetrue.
Shinichi Iwahashi said leisurely, "I think the performance will be the best on whichever day we perform."
This self-proclaimed ability, the thick skin gained by this ability, can do anything.
"Just keep this momentum and move towards the throne of the king."
"We need to prepare the new songs faster." Masato Nakamura continued, "We will go on stage immediately next week, and everything must be prepared within this week."
While talking to Masato Nakamura, Miwa-chan suddenly laughed.
Iwahashi Shinichi went to see her, "What's wrong?"
Miwa-chan touched the deer instrument with her chin again and again, "Nothing." She looked at Iwahashi Shinichi's face and said with a smile, "I'm hungry."
"How can you be so happy even if you are hungry?" Iwahashi Shinichi was helpless.
Miwa-chan didn't take it to heart at all and replied, "To be precise, I happened to be hungry when I was happy."
She said this, but what she was thinking about was what happened just after the performance, when the inspector with the same surname as her said, "It's all Iwahashi-kun's fault." Thinking of the scene at that time, I couldn't help but laugh.
Got up.
Even so, she didn't find it funny when she was on stage.
At that time, her heart reverberated with gratitude for Shinichi Iwahashi's willingness to wear the giraffe hood she gave him, and even so, he stood on the stage with her to realize her original dream.
Now, the first step of the dream has been taken steadily and beautifully.
"At this time, we can only find restaurants that are open 24 hours a day."
Masato Nakamura in the driver's seat thought for a while, controlled the car, and moved forward on the road late at night.
While sitting in a restaurant, with the warm Ochazuke soothing her hungry stomach, Miwa Yoshida truly felt the happiness of being a "dreamsetrue".
…
Although the next day was Sunday, Kamai Sachiko got up earlier than usual on working days.
Walking down the stairs and looking in the mirror while washing her face, she stared around her eyes and looked carefully, a little worried that the lack of sleep would show up on her face.
She used a towel to wipe away the water droplets on her face and walked out of the bathroom. She glanced at the kitchen and saw her mother busy preparing breakfast. This matter had become her mother's "daily routine" since the day she married her father.
Sachiko Kamaike gazed at her mother's figure in the morning light and felt a reassuring silence.
Sensing someone behind her, her mother turned her head and said, "Sachiko? You're up so early."
Kamai Sachiko said "Hmm" and said, "I just woke up and got up." He said to her, "Let me help you."
"It will be done soon." The mother sent her daughter out of the kitchen. "Sachiko will be responsible for bringing in the newspaper. Dad will get up to read it later."
Sachiko Kamaiike walked through the hall to bring in today's newspaper.
Out of curiosity, when she walked in, she turned to the entertainment section and searched. On a small page, it read "A new winner of this issue of Band Heaven appears".
Just looking at this formulaic typeface, one cannot associate it with the wonderful performance last night.
Putting the newspaper on the dining table where her father sat every day, Kamaike Yukiko went into the kitchen again, wanting to do something for her mother.
At this time, the mother finally realized that something was wrong with her daughter.
Always wanting to do something is a manifestation of the uneasiness caused by the things in the heart. The mother noticed her daughter's uneasiness, but she did not point it out directly, but complied with her wishes, "Just help organize the tableware."
"Mother……"
Kamai Sachiko and her mother stood side by side in front of the kitchen counter.
"What's wrong?"
Sachiko Kamaichi hesitated, "Nothing. I'm going to Tokyo today, okay?"
Hearing what she said, my mother smiled slightly and said, "Decide your own plan, and then implement it. There is no 'okay' or 'no' in doing what you want to do."
"..."
There is encouragement for her daughter hidden in her mother's words. Ever since she was little, her mother has stood by her side at all times. Even if she doesn't understand what she is doing, she will not rudely obstruct her.
Kamachi Sachiko wiped away the water on the plate and finally made up her mind.
At the age of twenty-one, when people of the same age have already started dating and are preparing to enter a new stage of life, I give up the same path that I have been walking on and take another unknown road.
Only if you have the energy to move forward can your "dreams come true" one day.
…
On Monday, the ratings came out. The ratings of the program they participated in were 22.7, still maintaining the prime time level. But it is worth mentioning that DreamseTrue's performance won the highest ratings of this program, reaching
25.5.
The song selection and production for the new program was about to begin. Time was tight, and Sunday was not spent leisurely. The three of them gathered in the recording studio and worked hard all day. Iwahashi Shinichi went home and fell asleep. It was almost ten o'clock
Just woke up.
I saw a pager for him, so I went back and found out the ratings, which made me feel a lot more energetic.
The phone number reporting the ratings was immediately hung up, and there was another pager. The person I called was Wanyumi Watanabe.
At this time, the regular meeting of Watanabe Mayumi's office was finished. After a few words on the phone, I asked him, "You must have just gotten up now, right?"
"You were right." Iwahashi Shinichi smiled.
On the other side of the phone, Watanabe Wan Yumi heard what he said and reminded: "Don't forget about the TV station's meeting at one o'clock in the afternoon."
"Don't worry, you won't forget this even if you forget nothing." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
When he guaranteed the ticket, Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled and invited, "How about having dinner together at noon?"
Watanabe Manyumi guessed that the performance had just ended and the three members of the band were either busy celebrating or preparing for the next new competition, so they did not contact Iwahashi Shinichi on Sunday.
"Okay." Iwahashi Shinichi replied, not surprised.
In the past, the two people sat together in the representative seat. Now, Akamatsu Haruko has replaced Iwahashi Shinichi. After the program, we cannot exchange opinions immediately and can only move it to other times.
After making an appointment with Watanabe Wan Yumi on a time and place to meet, Shinichi Iwahashi dressed himself up and put on a suit.
…
Have a casual meal at a restaurant near u-miz.
This area is full of office buildings. At noon, all the people who come to eat are office workers. Sitting here in professional attire seems so normal, or it should be so.
Iwahashi Shinichi was dressed formally, but when they met and saw his face and his formal attire, Watanabe Wan Yumi couldn't help but laugh as she remembered what she had seen him wearing a giraffe hood not long ago.
"Why are you staring at my face and laughing all the time?" Iwahashi Shinichi was a little depressed.
Watanabe Manyumi said "Sorry" without sincerity, and explained with a smile, "I just think it's a bit weird that the giraffe man before was sitting in front of me like this ordinary person now."
"You think it's funny, right?"
"No," she shook her head slightly, with a smile in her eyes, "it feels like a fairy tale has become a reality."
"Ha ha!"
Shinichi Iwahashi laughed at the serious way she was talking nonsense, "You said that on purpose, right?"
Watanabe Manyumi neither answered yes nor said no, but smiled contentedly.
The food ordered was served, and Shinichi Iwahashi, who had put together brunch and lunch, ate with gusto. Watanabe Manyumi waited until he had filled his stomach a little, and then started chatting with him and talking about the previous program.
"I have to produce Banila's single soon, prepare songs for the next competition, and produce Moritaka Chisato's single..." Shinichi Iwahashi said about his current schedule, feeling that forty-eight hours a day is not enough.
After finishing the coffee, Watanabe Wan Yumi took out her share of the meal money and gave it to Iwahashi Shinichi.
Afterwards, the two went to the TV station together.
Yesterday, I was discussing the next performance repertoire with two friends in the Yoyogi recording studio. Today, I am sitting in the conference room of TV Asahi, discussing and arranging the next program. This feeling is quite interesting.
…
It's Saturday again.
It's the same backstage of TV Asahi, and it's still the same lounge, but this time, the people in the same room have been shuffled.
But this time, the situation has completely changed. Dreamsetrue is no longer the ordinary person that no one cares about last time. The new band appears, and from time to time, people look at them furtively.
The female lead singer who was killing everyone on the stage looked like a very ordinary girl. The bassist had a face that looked more like a comedian than a musician, and only the keyboard player caught the eye.
However, that is not because he is special, but because the giraffe headband attracts attention.
If you put it that way, they are just an ordinary trio...
But it is this kind of mediocrity that makes people feel that they should not be underestimated. Anyone who can win the game with an ordinary appearance cannot be underestimated.
Most of the bands that have received invitations to the competition, for whatever reason, want to watch the show first. Most of the bands here tonight have watched the last DreamseTrue performance, and they are very excited about the performance they released last time.
deep impression.
Because of this, I have all kinds of things on my mind when it comes to challenging these three people next.
However, the three of them seemed to get acquainted with each other once and for all. Although fighting and challenging were both competitions, the feeling was still different.
Tonight, they are the target on the table, the enemy of all.
