Naturally, people in Nagoya don't have anything better than people in other places.
However, after all, it is the "Chongkyo" between Kansai and Kanto. It has a strong sense of presence. Whenever a singer wants to tour the country, he will not exclude this place.
Speaking of which, it’s not like Miwa-chan has never seen what the audience in Nagoya looks like. She had already performed here when she and Akira Bushi were on tour as a vocal support team.
However, if I told her this, she would definitely reply confidently: "That's different. Audiences who are not here for us are not our audience, and of course they have never seen it."
He could guess what she would say, so Iwahashi Shinichi would not argue with her.
…
The venue for the performance, after it is fully opened, can accommodate 450 people, which is not much better than a live house. Even so, Miwa-chan is very happy.
When they arrived at the place and got familiar with the venue, Miwa-chan stood on the simple stage and looked at the empty venue. There were no seats, only standing seats. She smiled and said to Shinichi Iwahashi: "It's better than the live house where we first performed.
It’s so much more impressive.”
"Of course, there are four hundred and fifty people." Iwahashi Shinichi replied.
"Four hundred and five minus two hundred and five..." Miwa-chan murmured, and immediately brightened up: "There are two hundred more people." Yes, this math is pretty good.
"That's right, there are two hundred more people." Shinichi Iwahashi echoed.
Brother Nakamura listened to the conversation between the two of them and showed a magical smile. While laughing, he was adjusting his bass.
A small venue has the advantage of being close to the audience. The closer it is, the easier it is to convey the charm of live performances to the audience, and the easier it is to cultivate loyal fans from the beginning.
If you think about the illusion of "always feeling that the teacher is looking at you" when you were a student, you will probably understand that the distance is so close, even if you are just looking at the audience on the stage and not smiling and singing for anyone, the audience is in the audience
, it will also create the illusion that you are smiling at him.
Students who feel that they are being stared at by the teacher will unconsciously straighten their backs, and viewers who feel that they are being looked at in a different light will feel more attracted to them.
During the two days in Nagoya, there were two performances every day. The first performance was from 5:30 to 7:00 in the evening, and the second performance started at 8:00 and ended at 9:30. This is how small venue performances are, and the venue rental fee is one time.
One day, but the place is small, the number of tickets sold is always limited. In order to return to the original profit, we can only increase the number of performances.
The two shows a day in Nagoya are just a warm-up. On the tour itinerary, several places have intensive arrangements for four shows a day.
Fortunately, we don't have to perform four shows a day in every place, otherwise it would be too much. Especially Shinichi Iwahashi is wearing a giraffe hood. It's summer again. Before going on stage, he has to put ice packs in the hood to cool down.
This level of professionalism can compete with Disney’s Mickey, right?
Such a small venue is not much different from a rehearsal room in Tokyo, so there is no rehearsal period. Besides, we have to conserve our energy for the next two games in a row. Therefore, after getting familiar with the venue, at 4:30
The venue opened, and before the audience entered the venue, everyone retreated backstage, waiting for the official performance to begin.
While some people were confirming the venue, staff also set up on-site stalls outside the venue to sell the band's debut single and album.
Any singer cannot avoid the promotion method of performing in a small place at the beginning of his debut. Compared with setting up a stage with cardboard boxes outside a record store or in a park, a newcomer has to sing hard in front of pedestrians who refuse to stop.
It is said that the band's performance started in an indoor venue with 450 people, and it has already shown the advantages of debuting as the winner of the talent show.
There was no decent lounge backstage, only a place similar to a grocery room for them to wait. While waiting, Miwa-chan felt nervous and bored, so she went to read today's program list.
I sang all the songs in the debut single and album, but even so, all the songs couldn't last an hour and a half. For this reason, I also prepared two unreleased stock songs to sing.
The entire band still uses the facade of Miwa-chan to interact with the audience. In contrast, the ordinary handsome young man Masaru Nakamura and the emotionless giraffe man Iwahashi Shinichi are just two people working together on stage to the audience.
The green leaves performed by Miwa-chan.
Although the three people each had their own plans to speak during the live talk session, the focus of their speech was still Miwa-chan. For this reason, she also thought hard about what she should say during the live talk session.
The size of the performance is 450 people.
How many copies of the single and album will be sold in the end is still a bit unreal to Miwa-chan. However, compared with the numbers in her ears, there are two hundred more people in the venue than before.
It can be confirmed with your own eyes.
Can all the tickets be sold out? How many people will come to our show?
…
At five o'clock, the performance officially begins.
There were no gorgeous stage special effects, no dazzling opening, and no nice words at all. When the time came, the three of them stepped on the line and entered from the side of the stage.
First it was Shinichi Iwahashi, then Masato Nakamura, and finally Miwa-chan who couldn’t enter.
She walked onto the stage and stood in the middle, flanked by two teammates.
There were no seats in the venue. Looking around, the audience was full of people. I didn’t know if all the tickets were sold out or how many people came, but the venue was full of people.
Miwa-chan looked at the packed audience and felt that her heart was filled with the enthusiasm for the performance. The nervousness and uneasiness before the show had all been squeezed away and flown away. Now she just wanted to sing.
"Good evening, we are dreamsetrue!"
She raised the microphone to her mouth and announced loudly like a child.
"Ohhh!!"
What responded to them was the cheers of the audience.
There are no more unnecessary opening remarks. After this self-introduction, Shinichi Iwahashi gave the signal to start. The first song of the day was sung. It was a song included in the album. It was also the first song that Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa sang.
The song that the team sang in the live house, "あなたに会いたくて" (I want to see you).
This is a song about lost love, and the lyrics are quite confusing.
For the audience standing in the audience, who came for DreamSeTrue, they were familiar with Dolimuzcom Tulu who sang "So happy! So happy! I love it so much!" on the stage. Unexpectedly,
I came to watch the show today and the first song was a breakup song.
…
However, although it is a breakup song, it is also a special breakup song. Although it is about broken love, the music style is so cheerful. If you didn't listen to the lyrics, you would never have thought that this is actually a song about breakup.
Standing under the stage, watching the performance on the stage from the shoulders of the audience in front, Suzuki couldn't help but think so in her heart.
Knowing that DreamseTrue was coming to Nagoya for a tour, but the venue of the performance was not far away from her workplace, so after work, Suzuki came directly from the company and planned to buy a live ticket to watch the performance.
Although I'm not very interested in the band's debut album and have no plans to buy it, it would be a good idea to buy a ticket to see their live performance.
After all, although Suzuki Xiang didn't know what kind of debut album this band had produced, and she was not very willing to spend money to try unknown and new things that she didn't want to try easily, she had already heard about it on the TV show of Band Paradise.
Having seen their ability in live performances, you will definitely not be disappointed if you come to see a live performance.
To take a step back, even except for the song "So happy! So happy! I love it so much!", the other songs to be sung are all ordinary songs that are boring and unmemorable. I can see them perform live once.
"So happy! So happy! I love it so much!" would also work.
Suzuki Xiang likes this song so much.
When she arrived at the performance venue to buy tickets, she found that the ticket sales were even better than she had imagined. When she went there, they were almost sold out. Looking at it, today's tickets will probably be sold out.
The other audience members who came for DreamseTrue seemed to have similar thoughts to hers, that is, since the band's live performance ability is so strong, they would definitely not be disappointed if they came to see the live performance.
Because of this, even if more than half of the audience present today are not very optimistic about the band's album, it does not prevent them from coming to buy tickets to watch the show after knowing that the band's tour has come to Nagoya.
In this prosperous era, people attend various performances more frequently. For them, buying an album that they may not like and throwing it away is definitely not as good as buying a ticket to watch a performance and feel the atmosphere.
It's a pleasure to come.
As a result, the audience, who had only watched the live performance of "So happy! So happy! I love it so much!", heard the first song that was exactly what they were expecting.
A completely different song style.
Suzuki Xiang underestimated that other people had the same ideas as hers. She came late and didn't get a good seat. She couldn't devote 100% to watching the stage, which made her pay more attention to the "music" itself, so she became more concerned about the lyrics.
care.
The girl in "So happy! So happy! I love it so much!" who hits the straight ball and moves forward bravely makes Suzuki Xiang feel very cute. Now it is no longer the era when girls had to be shy. I like it.
People just have to be so brave and chase after them!
What about this lovelorn song?
Listening to the lyrics and the cheerful music style, Suzuki suddenly realized one thing: the women in the world of Yoshida-san's songs are not the kind of traditional women, whether it is "So happy! So happy! I like it so much!" or now.
The song "Want to See You".
Women in the world of Yoshida-san's songs will straighten their backs even if they are lovelorn, even if they are in a trance because of lovelorn, even if they are still looking forward to meeting each other at the next street corner, walking in the turbulent sea of people,
I still look forward to a passing chance. Even so, I will not beg for redemption, I will not blame myself, and I will not resent or accuse the other party.
In other words, the women she writes are not the kind of traditional women who have been "abandoned".
Just like the girl in "So happy! So happy! I love it so much!" who always plays straight and moves forward bravely, the girl in the song "Want to See You" is also a modern urban woman, not a
She is the traditional "hatred girl".
The worldview in the lyrics of this song is in the same vein as "So happy! So happy! I love it so much!"
Suzuki Xiang realized this and could not help but have a clearer understanding of this band: This is DreamseTrue.
They are not a band with just one song that can be sung, but a band with many good songs of high quality.
Suzuki Xiang had such an idea in her mind. This idea seemed to float out of her mind, melted into the air, and then spread in the air, causing people around her to have similar thoughts to her.
Or, in fact, the people around her are now thinking the same thing about DreamseTrue, and they also have such thoughts in response. Because of this, the air is gradually filled with something that does not need to be announced, which makes the audience
Something that each other understands
As for the evidence, that is when the performance progresses and the band on the stage plays new songs one after another, in return, the applause and cheers given to the three people on the stage become more and more enthusiastic.
If you underestimate them, you are making a mistake!
This ticket is a great value!
So, after singing four songs in a row and starting the first live talk of the day, Miwa-chan greeted the audience and just finished saying: "Good evening, thank you all for coming to our show..."
What she got in return was the applause and cheers that resounded throughout the audience, far exceeding the volume when the band started.
Surrounded by such cheers, Miwa-chan was still a little shy even though she had performed many times in the underground music circle before. However, just like she was always a rat with a gun in the band, it should belong to her.
It's part of nature.
I was shy, and I also forgot the lyrics for the live talk that I had done my homework for. In the end, I didn’t use much of what I had prepared, and most of it was made up on the spot.
But even so, the audience was very supportive and did not let the speeches get cold from beginning to end.
After chatting, the performance continued, with Masato Nakamura speaking for the second time. As a green leaf, Brother Nakamura also has the self-consciousness of a green leaf. After saying a few words, he gave up the stage again.
His speech, or taking into account Shinichi Iwahashi's speech later, was more about leaving time for Miwa-chan to drink water.
The performance goes on.
The audience's increasingly enthusiastic response can be felt best by those on the stage, just like the teacher will never miss the students who are distracted or the students who are paying attention to the class.
The audience gave a good response. As performers on stage, they were even more energetic. They did not think about the next performance waiting for them, but only thought about how to maximize the atmosphere of this performance.
As if this was the only performance, I tried my best until the last moment.
"thank you all"
Finally, when the performance was over and the music stopped, the three people stood in the middle of the stage, holding hands and bowing to the audience in thanks.
Feeling the performance that they gave their best, the audience also gave away their last enthusiasm without any reservation.
