I don’t know who started it first, but with the cry of “Get out!”, the auditorium was like a firecracker being lit, crackling with curses full of gunpowder.
"Get off!"
"Stop getting in the way here!"
"You ugly girl!"
Wait, ugly girl?
The audience's attacks and insults against Akamatsu Haruko could be heard clearly in the background.
Iwahashi Shinichi had no reaction to those simple and plain "Go away". If he didn't accept this anger, the performance would not be able to start. Only when he heard this "ugly girl", in his heart
, a feeling that anger can really blind people's eyes suddenly arises.
It is obvious that he has a face that can make a lost youth fall in love with basketball, and he is worthy of the name "Haruko".
When Haruko Akamatsu is said to be an ugly girl, will the conscience of the audience really not hurt? Or, when people get angry, they really become half-blind.
Shinichi Iwahashi thought silently in his heart.
Why show such hostility! She has already been treated as an unforgivable sinner without doing anything.
Of course, under such circumstances, he can still think freely, which proves that he is not nervous because of the previous situation. The person who needs to untie the bell is the one who can tie the bell. The one who can resolve the hostility of the audience is the band. Accurately
Let's talk about Akamatsu Haruko herself.
The previous lead singer of the band was a man. During his tenure, there were quite a few women among the fan base. The band suddenly changed the lead singer and bassist, which was a major event that shook the foundation. In addition, the new lead singer was also a beautiful woman...
The more beautiful it is, the more irritating it is.
It's really hard for women to love.
Being treated like this when she debuted on stage, Akamatsu Haruko was stunned for a few seconds. In the past eighteen years of her life, she had never faced such a situation.
Hirakawa Tatsuya said that she might be subject to some protests, but she didn't expect them to be so fierce. She subconsciously looked at Hirakawa Tatsuya, but the other party just nodded slightly at her, and then sent the start signal to the drummer Masahiro Koyanagi.
When she heard the count started, Akamatsu Haruko came back to her senses and tightened her grip on the microphone.
Intertwined with the guitar intro, there were still boos and attacks from the audience. This was completely different from the tolerance and enthusiasm of everyone when performing at the school festival.
Akamatsu Haruko didn't know before that the audience turned out to be such a cruel existence.
But she managed to remain calm and was not frightened by the audience's scolding. She listened carefully to the intro and found the beat. The band's original song started the song, and Akamatsu Haruko's voice took over smoothly after the intro.
Seemingly carefree, but always paying attention to Iwahashi Shinichi in front of the stage, he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this smooth first sentence. He thought to himself, Akamatsu Haruko's heart is actually more shy than the "shy and tearful" voice conveyed to him by Takenouchi Akihito.
"Little Miss" is much tougher.
...It's a pity that he was happy a little early.
After she opened her mouth, the scolding from the audience did not subside. Instead, it intensified. It seemed that they would not stop until they drove her off the stage and made her break down and cry and make a fool of herself. They continued to throw them at her.
"What a terrible singer!"
"Sing something!"
"Go back quickly!"
At this time, the situation was a little bit wrong. Akamatsu Haruko, who had been stable at the beginning, started to have a wobbly voice. She flinched a little.
Realizing this, the audience booed even louder.
Iwahashi Shinichi had been in the underground music circle for several months, and it was the first time he had seen such rejection. Just when he was worried about Akamatsu Haruko and the band, his voice stopped.
Akamatsu Haruko suddenly stopped singing. The musicians were shaken by her, stunned, and stopped playing. Even the audience in the audience were momentarily speechless because of this sudden change.
There was an unusual silence ahead.
People backstage have already started talking about it. This is already a performance accident and must be resolved as soon as possible.
As the manager who brought this band here, the staff had already looked at him accusingly. Shinichi Iwahashi was worried, but he didn't bother to apologize to the staff yet, and instead paid close attention to everything in front of the stage.
After the silence, Akamatsu Haruko was greeted by boos and curses that were even more merciless than before.
After she exposed her weakness, it seemed as if she had found a focus to attack her, and the attack from the audience became more intense. It was so satisfying to fight Reservoir Dogs.
If the band cannot resolve this crisis, it will never be able to stand on a decent stage again in the future.
And just before the staff was about to ask the band to leave the stage and stop the performance, suddenly, the prelude to the previous song started playing again on the stage.
The staff stopped and Shinichi Iwahashi also pricked up his ears to listen.
It was Akamatsu Haruko who sent the "do it again" signal to Tatsuya Hirakawa again.
The more Haruko Akamatsu listened to the boos and scolds she received after her failure, the calmer she became.
She suddenly realized how stupid it was to show weakness in front of the audience.
No matter what, the performance must go on. If you admit defeat here, you won't be able to do anything else in the future. She tried to gain strength from those contemptuous looks.
She turned her head and faced Tatsuya Hirakawa, who was a little confused but still smiled at her, and said softly, "Let's do it again."
In fact, in this venue, Tatsuya Hirakawa couldn't hear her soft words at all, but he could guess what she said by looking at her expression.
He breathed a sigh of relief and once again sent the start signal to Koyanagi Masfa.
The sound of musical instruments sounded again.
After the prelude, Akamatsu Haruko took over smoothly.
"So thick-skinned!"
"Can I keep singing like this?!"
But this time, she turned a deaf ear to the audience's scoldings, and instead felt very bored.
The more this happens, the more it shows the shallowness of these people, and the more it proves that their attacks are absurd and meaningless.
I'm here to sing, it's just about serving the audience.
Akamatsu Haruko's voice became more and more steady, and she no longer thought about anything else except singing.
In this way, music became her best weapon to fight back.
After completely getting into the mood, the other members of Abnormal also performed hard. As songs were sung one after another, some people in the audience booed or simply acted indifferently, but the curses subsided at least.
.
Although various situations began to occur, he still did not collapse and escape. After adjustments, he persisted in performing this performance despite the baptism of curses from the audience.
When the band's performance got into gear, Shinichi Iwahashi finally regained his composure and apologized to the staff.
Iwahashi Shinichi felt that the Akamatsu Haruko he saw and the Akamatsu Haruko Takenouchi Akihito told him were two completely different people.
Takenouchi Akihito seems to have a wishful and one-sided understanding of his cousin.
After the performance, she returned to the backstage. Akamatsu Haruko looked around at the staff, managers, and band musicians. Except for the guitarist Tatsuya Hirakawa, everyone had an angry expression.
