After the show ended and the band returned backstage, people around them would send these words from time to time.
Among the bands that competed on the same stage, there were those who left without saying a word after the competition, and there were also those who congratulated the winners like this. In addition to the bands that competed together, the staff behind the scenes knew everything.
In the program flow, when faced with the newly released king, he is not shy about saying "congratulations".
Whenever she received such congratulations, Miwa Yoshida would smile and reply "Thank you!", like a young girl, thanking those who congratulated them.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura followed her, happy to let Miwa-chan be the face responsible for Q&A, and had no intention of stealing her limelight.
This situation did not last long. After receiving simple congratulations, the three people were invited by the TV station staff to the lounge where they had discussed after winning the previous few times.
Of course, there will not be dozens of representatives waiting there, ready to make offers to grab people. Waiting there are the staff who were previously responsible for communicating with them.
The program ended very late, and it was impossible to hold contract negotiations overnight just after the competition.
Besides, not only does the band have to take a rest, but the various offices and record companies at the representative table have expressed their willingness to sign a contract with the band, but they are just verbal greetings now. Details will be held after they return home.
Negotiate and then list the conditions they can offer.
At that time, it is the moment that truly determines fate.
Previously, on the stage, the bands were showing off their talents, but then the situation changed and it became a situation where record companies and agencies were trying to find ways to please them.
Because of this, after the show, the representatives retreated separately, and the three band members were invited to the lounge by the staff. After a simple communication, a time was confirmed before further discussions.
During this period, they can also think about what they want.
The whole communication didn't last long. Half an hour later, the three of them had already sat in Masato Nakamura's Suzuki lunch box.
If you win the championship as you wish, no matter it is a giraffe, a little fox, or Winnie the Pooh, you are in a very excited mood and want to celebrate.
Considering it was already this time, instead of looking around for all-night stores, it would be better to go directly to a convenience store to buy some beer and snacks, and go back to Yoyogi's recording studio to celebrate.
After making the decision, Masato Nakamura started the car and slowly drove out of the parking lot.
Turning onto the road, Shinichi Iwahashi took off his giraffe hood. He was very experienced and knew that his hair must have been crushed even if he didn't look in the mirror. He snored twice with his hands.
This series of actions brought a burst of laughter from Miwa-chan.
She also took the hood from Shinichi Iwahashi very skillfully, held it in her arms, and looked at him with a smile.
"What's wrong?"
Iwahashi Shinichi glanced at her and asked.
She smiled and shook her head, "Shenyi-kun, we won, right?"
"Yes, I won." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "The next step is to sign a contract with a record company and prepare to debut."
After receiving this answer, Miwa-chan habitually touched the deer instrument with her chin and muttered, "It's incredible."
"Unbelievable?"
"Well... it's something that's happening right in front of me, and I suddenly feel like I don't know what to do next."
Iwahashi Shinichi can probably understand Miwa-chan’s mood.
This feeling is like reaching the level of Novice Village and preparing to change the map to enter the main city. Although I am looking forward to it, because everything around me has become unfamiliar, I also feel a little at a loss.
"This is simple." He thought for a while and told her, "It would be nice to set a debut goal."
"We have worked hard to make a mainstream debut. Now that the first goal has been achieved, it is time to change to a new schedule."
"right."
Miwa-chan puffed up and retracted her cheeks like a frog, and thought for a moment, "I want to be a singer like Yumi-san, and then, as long as I can sing for the rest of my life."
Masato Nakamura, who was in the driver's seat, listened and took over the words with a smile: "It's not bad to be Yumi-san. The last sentence is more or less said. The goal should be something clearer."
When she was in Hokkaido, Yoshida Miwa's dream of "wanting to be a singer like Yumi Matsutoya" was ridiculed. But now, her two teammates have expressed their approval of her dream and do not think it is unrealistic at all.
"Then what is Masato-san's goal?" Miwa-chan asked in turn, not to be outdone.
The reason why she is not willing to be outdone is actually a hidden gratitude to Nakamura Masato. For Nakamura Masato who does not laugh at her and recognizes her dream, Miwa Yoshida will also support his dream.
"My goals are much more detailed."
Masato Nakamura drove his Suzuki lunchbox with a smile on his face, and opened his mouth like a lion: "If you ask me, my goal is to have an album with sales exceeding one million, and then go abroad and have a single that tops the Billboard.
It would be best to win another Grammy Award, and the total sales of all records combined will exceed 50 million copies."
"That's amazing!" Miwa-chan exclaimed, "I didn't expect Masato-san to be thinking about these things every day."
"It's indeed amazing." Iwahashi Shinichi also added, "You are indeed a Masato-san."
"However, if you set these goals as goals, you will be very motivated every day." Miwa-chan finished her shouting and began to express her thoughts, "Because it is too difficult to achieve, so it is impossible not to work hard.
"
Miwa-chan who said these words looked as innocent as a girl, but she didn't feel childish at all. Nor did she feel that Nakamura Masato's words were unrealistic at all.
Masato Nakamura was very happy after hearing her thoughts.
Shinichi Iwahashi was thoughtful, remembering that not long after he met Miwa Yoshida, she told him that she wanted to be a singer like Yumi Matsutoya.
Yoshida Mei and her friends back home in Hokkaido regard her dream as a whim.
With this dream that others regard as a whimsical one, and then cheering for someone else's dream that sounds even more whimsical, Miwa-chan possesses an innocent and precious character.
"Then, what is Shinichi-kun's dream?" Miwa-chan finished asking Nakamura Masato and then came to question Iwahashi Shinichi.
Iwahashi Shinichi was prepared early and replied with a smile: "My dream is to realize your two dreams."
Just like he doesn't laugh at and supports Miwa-chan's dream, he also supports Nakamura-san's dream. Although this brother's dream sounds a bit too big-mouthed, it's very suspenseful no matter how you listen to it.
However, if a person does not have some bold dreams, what is the difference with salted fish?
"Hey~ This answer is really cunning." Miwa-chan pouted.
But Masato Nakamura smiled and said, "This dream is much harder to realize than the dream of Miwa-chan and I."
That's of course.
However, as the man behind this band, Shinichi Iwahashi wants to find a way to take the band to a higher place and let the band's songs be heard by more people. For this reason, he must shoulder the responsibility of these two
A teammate's dream.
Having said that, the members of this band called "Dreams Come True" are really dreaming about bold and unreliable dreams.
…
After celebrating all night, the three of them took a rest in the recording studio.
The only sofa was given to the oldest (by mistake) Nakamura brother. Miwa-chan went to make the floor in the recording room. Shinichi Iwahashi simply lay down on the table and squinted for a while, waiting for the early train to start running.
Lying on the table, it was difficult to fall asleep soundly. Shinichi Iwahashi fell asleep and woke up in and out, feeling dazed and thinking it was about to get dark, when he suddenly felt someone poking him in the face.
Once, twice, three or four...
He reluctantly opened his eyes a crack and saw Miwa-chan standing there.
Miwa-chan... He was drowsy and closed his eyes again.
Five times, six times, seven or eight...
Well, Miwa-chan started poking his face again, and while poking, she leaned into his ear and called him, "Shinichi-kun~"
"Um?"
Iwahashi Shinichi felt goosebumps all over his body and felt much more awake.
He sat upright, stretched, and looked at his watch. It was not yet five o'clock. His bones were a little stiff when he was leaning on the table. He twisted his shoulders and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Shh~" Miwa-chan made a quiet gesture towards him and pointed to the sofa.
Nakamura-san is still sleeping soundly, but with such strength, he might not be able to wake up even if he is thrown into a sack. Miwa-chan's worries are definitely unnecessary.
"Did you wake up so early?" Even so, Iwahashi Shinichi lowered his voice.
Miwa-chan said "Yeah" and whispered: "Actually, I didn't fall asleep either." When she said this, she paused and said, "I've been thinking about things."
"Thinking about something?" Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her face.
Miwa-chan's makeup-free face looked tired and slightly swollen from a night's sleep. Seeing her face, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but think to himself that his face probably didn't look good now either.
I felt refreshed all night long, and felt panicked when I looked in the mirror.
"I'm thinking about the Hibiya Outdoor Guild Hall." Miwa-chan told him.
Iwahashi Shinichi changed his mind and understood.
…
The Suzuki Lunchbox was driving slowly on the streets in the early morning, but it couldn't get up even if it wanted to go faster. And in Tokyo, which seems to never stop all day long, at this time, it is rare to have a little bit of laziness about to wake up.
Although only a little bit.
Iwahashi Shinichi drove the car, and Miwa-chan sat in the passenger seat with a newspaper spread out on his knees. The entertainment section still left a quarter of the page to report on last night's program.
"Dreamsetrue! The new king of the band heaven is born!"
Miwa-chan read the bold title again and said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "Although I have already said it once, I still find it incredible."
The "unbelievable" here certainly does not refer to their championship.
"Save space in advance." Iwahashi Shinichi guessed her thoughts and took the trouble to explain, "If we don't win the championship, there will be spare manuscripts."
Miwa-chan nodded, "So, it's really amazing." She turned around and looked at the scenery behind her outside the car window, "It's so early."
"Yes." Iwahashi Shinichi echoed.
The time now is 5:20 in the morning, about five hours have passed since they won the band "King of Heaven".
Ten minutes ago, after simply washing his face, Shinichi Iwahashi took the key to Nakamura's brother Suzuki's small lunch box from the coffee table in the recording studio, left a note with instructions, and then drove Miwa-chan towards Hibiya Park.
.
By the way, I bought the newspaper when I passed by the newsstand after leaving the recording studio. Probably after reading the report about Begin winning the championship, Miwa-chan had this idea in her mind and bought a copy with DreamseTrue printed on it early in the morning.
Get the championship newspaper.
…
Almost arriving at the place, Iwahashi Shinichi found a parking lot, put the car away, and walked to Hibiya Park with Miwa-chan.
This area is not as crowded as Shibuya or Shinjuku, and at this time, there are very few pedestrians on the streets.
If this couple, who had obviously stayed up all night, were walking on the streets of Shibuya or Shinjuku, they would probably be thought of as having just come out of a love hotel. But walking here, one would not be able to guess where they came from and where they are going.
.
At the end of March, spring arrived, and the scenery in Hibiya Park looked pretty good in the morning. The temperature was still a bit low in the morning, so I took a breath and felt a slight chill in my chest, which made my body feel much lighter after a long night.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa Yoshida stopped in front of the park's route map and confirmed the fan-shaped part.
"Hibiya Outdoor Music Hall."
The two walked side by side in Hibiya Park in the early morning and arrived outside the Hibiya Field Concert Hall.
Miwa Yoshida stretched out her hand and touched the closed iron door, "Shinichi-kun and I told you that when I was fourteen, I came to Tokyo alone from Hokkaido for the first time in order to watch Yumi-san's concert.
"
Iwahashi Shen nodded, "I still remember."
"After watching Yumi-san's performance, I made up my mind to become a singer like Yumi-san." Miwa Yoshida, who has always been carefree, now looks very serious.
"If you put it that way, this Hibiya Outdoor Music Hall can be regarded as the beginning of a dream." She turned around and looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, "That's why I kept thinking about this place in my mind."
"Not only that," Shinichi Iwahashi gave her an understanding smile, "It was also here that I made up my mind to resign from Odyssey and become your crappy manager."
"Now he is the best agent." Miwa-chan corrected with a smile. She once again set her sights on this holy place in her heart, "Now, my dream has taken another step forward."
Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her silently, thinking that his own dream had also taken a step forward.
"Shinichi-kun, I will never give up on my dream."
Miwa-chan said it seriously, as if she was making a vow.
"Of course." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "But don't forget, we are 'dreams come true', so as long as we make a wish, it will definitely come true."
"That's right." Miwa-chan looked at him, "It's a good idea to get the name DreamseTrue."
"So, my talent in naming is pretty good, right?" Shinichi Iwahashi said proudly.
Normally Miwa-chan would probably complain about his narcissism, but today, she nodded, "Yes."
It's really nice to be praised early in the morning.
Iwahashi Shinichi also imitated Miwa-chan's behavior just now and looked towards the Hibiya Outdoor Music Hall.
