The performance ended and the audience left one after another.
Before leaving, almost by chance, I stopped at the booth set up by the staff to sell albums. The booth that few people visited before the performance started was now surrounded by spectators who were eager to buy.
Suzuki Xiang was no exception. After watching the show, she went to buy the band's debut album.
After getting the record, she walked towards the station. On the way, people passed by her from time to time. When she noticed that they were holding DreamseTrue records in their hands, they communicated silently with their eyes even though they were strangers.
Not long ago, we were fascinated by the same band's performance... Before the heat of the performance dissipated, even the indifferent Japanese could respond to each other's thoughts. Music has such magic.
After the performance, the three band members returned to the backstage. Shinichi Iwahashi took off his hood and sighed with relief. A towel was handed over to him, and he said "thank you" and wiped his face and neck.
"Thank you for your hard work, Shinichi-kun." Miwa-chan brought him some iced oolong tea.
Iwahashi Shinichi took it and said, "It's okay, it's not a problem."
She jumped and danced all by herself, and sang the whole time, and her face was red now. To be honest, among the three members of the band, she was the one who exerted the most physical energy during the performance. As the face of the band, when singing,
You have to constantly interact with the audience, and there is no chance to paddle. This level of intensity is really too much for most people.
The next performance started at eight o'clock, and there was a one-hour break in the middle. The staff brought a lunch box, but the performance was about to start again, so I just had a few bites to cushion myself until the second performance was over.
Go have dinner again.
During the break, the staff came over and told them that all the tickets for the first show had been sold. "The ticket sales for the next second show should be similar."
If I had heard the staff say this before the first performance, I might have had some other reactions, but now, after "reviewing" it with my own eyes, this result is also expected.
In other words, when you see the packed audience and feel the enthusiasm of the audience, there is no need to say more about the result.
Miwa-chan took two bites of the bento and reluctantly but resolutely closed the lid. She thought to herself that the ticket sales were about the same, so the next show would have to be as energetic as the first one.
.
The second performance that followed was also full.
DreamseTrue, who have already demonstrated their excellent live ability on TV, their performance itself is worth the ticket price. This recognition is clearly reflected in the ticket sales.
It was precisely because I was attracted to the venue by the charm of the scene that I had the possibility to be moved by other songs of the band again. Every performance is an opportunity. The opportunity may be big or small, but there is no doubt that it will be.
It's meant to be held in hand.
After the two performances of the day were over, I went backstage to summarize today’s performance before going to dinner.
The band's executive producer Ashida also came today and was observing from the side of the stage during the performance. During the summary stage, Ashida was not worried that the praise would make the three of them proud, and said straightforwardly: "A very wonderful performance!"
"Rather, in my mind, the greatest charm of the three of you as dreamsetrues lies in the scene." Ashida praised, "Today's two games, no matter which one they were, they performed above 90%."
According to sales statistics, all tickets for today's two performances were sold out. The singles sold at the booth sold more than 400 copies in total, and the album actually sold more than 800 copies.
"A performance is for four hundred and fifty people, right?" Miwa-chan, who had learned the lesson well, thought for a moment, "If you put it this way, doesn't it mean that almost everyone who watched the show went to buy the album?"
"That's not necessarily true," Shin Iwahashi joked, "I probably bought a few more copies as gifts."
"Shinichi-kun is probably the kind of person who buys albums to give away." Brother Nakamura made an unprofessional and rash analysis from the side.
Shinichi Iwahashi confidently boasted, "If it were a DreamseTrue album, it would still be worth it as a gift."
"Well said! As expected of Shinichi-kun!" Miwa-chan, who was not too embarrassed to watch the excitement, applauded him.
Even so, looking at her like this, she somehow felt that even if the two of them started fighting, she would not break up the fight, but would pretend to be the referee and be deeply involved in the drama.
…
On the streets on Saturday, people kept walking by. Some people stopped for these girls, while others just glanced at them and continued on their way. Although it was not midsummer yet, the temperature during the day had already risen. Even if you wore cool clothes, at least you wouldn't feel cold.
.
Before today's work began, when Natsuki Okamoto was changing in the locker room, he saw the somewhat shy Sachiko Kamaiike and made such a wisecrack.
"Fortunately it's summer, at least I won't shiver in the cold wind." Natsuo Okamoto has a good figure. Even if he has to show himself in public, he doesn't feel ashamed and is even a little proud.
She felt Sachiko Kamaichi's nervousness, and there may not be any comfort in her words.
Sachiko Kamachi felt her kindness, smiled at her, and said, "Yes, it would be too miserable to wear it like this in winter."
"Just think of it as if we are going to the beach. The outside is not the streets of Tokyo, but the coast of Shonan. If you think of it this way, if someone looks at us later, we should be proud of it!"
Natsuki Okamoto straightened his back and looked at Sachiko Kamaike again, "Sachiko has a great figure too, and she fits well in gymnastics uniforms."
"That's what I should say to you." Sachiko Kamaike replied, slowly building up her mind.
Then, the manager in charge of them called them outside, and several girls came out. Under the guidance of the staff, they walked in front of the camera one by one according to the arranged timing.
Today we were on location for an afternoon program on TV Tokyo. Several of the models were from Star Agency, and were recruited at the same time as Sachiko Kamaike.
The content of the exterior scenes was very monotonous. It was nothing more than talking under the guidance of the staff outside the camera, introducing the newly opened bowling alley, and then there was a trial bowling session.
To put it bluntly, the whole job has a hint of "delivering ice cream to the eyes in summer". However, this is what the models at the bottom do.
And when it is broadcast on TV, she will be given an introductory subtitle of "Kamachi Sachiko" when she appears. This is the most famous benefit she has received from this job.
Having been in the industry for so long, Kamaike Yukiko knew what she was doing, but even so, taking pictures in a studio was still different from standing here in cool clothes in public, which made her feel awkward.
Although she feels ashamed in her heart, this shame is not because she thinks this job is shameful, but she still has to fight against her own shame as a "human" and has to do more psychological construction than usual.
Only then can you stand in front of the camera as if nothing has happened, face the passers-by and the looks they cast on you.
Even so, I can still introduce myself, "Hello everyone, my name is Kamai Sachiko."
…
The extroverted and enthusiastic Natsuki Okamoto was able to handle the situation with ease, even because she was in public, it inspired a certain idea in her that she must never be at a disadvantage and must be the one who attracts the most attention, making her in excellent condition and worthy of being the most watched person.
Called the most beautiful woman in the whole scene.
As for Kamai Sachiko, after fighting the shame in her heart, it was not so much a victory, but rather a kind of reconciliation with it. After taking a step back, she had the freedom to face the camera normally and speak naturally.
In this way, if you compare yourself with Natsuo Okamoto, you will undoubtedly be outclassed by Natsuo Okamoto.
After filming the exterior scene, there was a period of rest and make-up before entering the bowling alley for a try. The manager went over and praised Okamoto Natsuki with a smile, "Natsuo-chan, you were really shining in front of the camera just now!"
"Is it that exaggerated?" Natsuki Okamoto laughed out loud at his manager's words. He held a makeup box with a mirror in his hand and skillfully touched up his makeup.
The agent is less than thirty years old, not much different from these models. In addition, the job of model is almost at the bottom of the entertainment industry, with no status at all. Therefore, even the atmosphere between the agent and the models is
It's also very casual.
"However, Sachiko-chan should work harder and let go." After the manager praised Okamoto Natsuo, he said to Kamai Sachiko, "Otherwise, as long as you stand with others, the limelight will be robbed.
.”
"Yes, I will pay attention to it." Sachiko Kamaike looked like she was willing to listen to advice. She faced the agent as if she were facing her former boss at a real estate company.
"Sigh." The manager looked at her reaction and sighed helplessly, not knowing what to say. An obedient artist is good, but as a model, Kamai Sachiko is simply too honest...
She is obviously a model, but she behaves like an office worker.
When I signed her, I thought she was the most beautiful among the models and had a very fit figure. However, her personality hindered her development. Even though she was beautiful, she could not stand out in front of the camera.
What a pity, the agent thought in his heart.
After Sachiko Kamaike answered her agent, she also started to touch up her makeup. She wanted to put on thicker eyeliner and make her look more adult... She recalled the staff's request and painted herself something she had never done before becoming a model.
Heavy makeup.
Is this girl with heavy makeup in the hand mirror me? While putting on makeup, Kamaike Sachiko thought to herself.
Then, she thought, is this girl with heavy makeup also a part of me? Before becoming a model and doing this job, she never thought that she still had such a side.
Even though she was doing a job that she was neither good at nor liked, Kamaike Yukiko never felt that she was not herself at all, and she never denied this self that she had never seen before.
On the contrary, such a job allowed her to see a side of herself that she had never seen before.
That's good.
She looked at herself in the hand mirror, as if cheering herself up, and this thought came to her mind.
After the break, the filming continued. She was still a little cautious, in front of the camera, and followed the staff's instructions to complete her assigned work.
…
In the evening, all the filming ended, the TV station staff were busy finishing the work, and the models also returned to the dressing room and changed back into ordinary clothes.
Kamai Sachiko and the girls who were filming today walked out of the bowling alley. The manager was still chatting with people from the TV station and would not come out until later.
There was no work for them later, but after a day of filming, the agent said they would treat them to dinner.
After the group work is over, there is a dinner party. This has been a custom since joining the industry, and the girls have no objection.
On the street where people are coming and going, I was standing here in cool clothes just now, and was regarded as a sight by the people passing by. Now, I am standing here normally, chatting and waiting for the agent to come over.
No one would have thought that they were recording a program here in cool clothes this afternoon.
"...I heard that in the end, Sato-kun couldn't bear it anymore and dumped the woman!"
"really? Haha!"
The girls got together and went around and around, but they couldn't get around the gossip. Although Sachiko Kamaichi didn't interrupt much, she listened with interest.
When girls chat about gossip, they look as lively and lively as any joker.
While she was listening to the gossip, her eyes unconsciously glanced across the road. Several college-looking girls were walking together, as if they were having a heated chat about some topic like they did on this side of the road.
Kamachi Sachiko's eyes fell on one of them, and she was startled for a moment.
Young girls, as long as they walk together, no matter whether they are beautiful or ugly, they will attract attention first. This is true on the other side of the road, and it is also true on this side of the road.
When Sachiko Kamaiike looked across the way, the female students across the way also looked towards them.
…
"Kaike-san?"
Akamatsu Haruko looked at the people across the street, slightly hesitant. Looking next to her, Okamoto Natsuki was there, laughing, exactly like the one at the sorority.
Then, it’s definitely Kamachi-san.
Why are you here? Akamatsu Haruko hesitated in her heart. It was said that she had only seen her once, so she could just go her own way as if nothing had happened. But in her heart, she had a kind intention towards Kamai Sachiko, and besides that, she was also a little curious.
Because of this, she thought it was an interesting coincidence to meet him by chance on the street.
At this time, Kamachi Sachiko also looked over.
To be precise, there were two girls who had only met once. One was still a student and the other was an adult woman who had seen the world. The two met across the street and their eyes met.
Then, Kamachi Sachiko smiled and nodded slightly at her, as if to say hello.
Akamatsu Haruko subconsciously smiled at her and nodded in return.
On both sides of the road, there are friends walking together, and this kind of greeting only ends there.
"Haruko? Hurry up and follow me!"
Friends who were traveling with her noticed that Akamatsu Haruko was lagging behind and greeted her with a smile.
Akamatsu Haruko withdrew her gaze and was about to step forward.
At the same moment, the agent came out of the bowling alley and was about to greet these girls who were chatting enthusiastically. His eyes were suddenly attracted by the people across the street.
That girl...
"Please wait!"
The agent raised his voice and shouted to the person across the street.
