The live connection is on the rooftop, and there are only staff on the opposite side of the stage.
To be honest, it can be said that this is the time when the band has faced the smallest audience since forming the band. However, this is also the time when the band has faced the largest audience since forming the band.
Even the popular band Heaven cannot compare to "thebesten".
At this time, the image of the band standing here was appearing on the TV sets of thousands of households, and countless eyes were watching here from places where their eyes could not see.
A performance for an audience that is not in front of you is a performance for everyone.
Since it was a performance for everyone, when Akina Nakamori, who was backstage, went to watch TV out of curiosity and saw DreamseTrue starting to perform on the TV screen, she became one of these "everyone".
During the broadcast of Band Heaven, this band showed its super strength.
From winning the show, to going through pre-debut training, and then step by step onto the scene of "The Best Ten", the band's level has not declined at all compared to its performance during the competition. Not only that, but it has even gone a step further.
Feel.
Watching such a performance, Nakamori Akina was unknowingly immersed in it and enjoying it with relish.
On the rooftop, with thousands of lights in Tokyo's sleepless city behind you, you can hear the sound of wind from time to time during the singing. This kind of scene has a stronger impact than indoor performances.
Such a scene is inexplicably reminiscent of a boatman holding an oar and steering the helm.
It seems that this is not on the top floor of a TV station, but on a stormy sea. The three members of the band are not singers, but boatmen. On this boat turned into music, they can use their hands to fight against the wind and waves with their smooth and steady performance.
There is a feeling that the level of the band is one step closer, perhaps also due to the performance bonus brought by the outdoor live stage which is different from the indoor stage.
However, Miwa Yoshida's singing skills are amazing, and she can hold her own in a large, empty venue. The two musicians' skills are also superb, and they can protect Miwa Yoshida in the storm and allow her to perform freely. Absolute strength is the foundation of this performance.
.
…
Judging from the results, Watanabe Mayumi chose to let the band perform here. Her vision and strategy, as well as her understanding of the band, are also quite a lot.
Although Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't confirm it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel the momentum when he was there.
After the performance ended and the scene was cut, the three of them thanked the staff and, under the leadership of their manager, evacuated from the rooftop. After singing, it was impossible to go home and sleep directly. Now they had to go back to the recording studio as a background.
board until the end of the show.
While other singers were performing, they followed the instructions of the staff and sat behind the two hosts. Learning to be a backdrop was an essential skill for performing on stage, even for cool and domineering metal bosses.
Once we decide to perform on the Internet, we have to sit in rows when we go on TV.
Fortunately, the sofa in the studio was quite comfortable and 100% high-end goods. It was indeed the time when the TV station had the most money.
Being on the background board is a boring thing. It’s the band’s first appearance. It’s the first time for them to meet the tenth and ninth people who are already sitting here, or the seventh and sixth people who are sitting here later.
, can’t even speak.
Brother Nakamura seems to have become a monk, but he always has a devilish smile on his face. Miwa-chan, who is carrying a gun, is pointing fingers at her two Zeng Yi in the recording studio. In the recording studio, he is like a
A shy and introverted literary girl.
Shinichi Iwahashi is in a better situation than his two teammates. Among the singers who will appear tonight, he has at least one acquaintance.
When I received the invitation to the show, I looked at the list and knew that Akina Nakamori would also perform today. However, Akina Nakamori didn't know that this band, which had defeated the band she supported, was the mascot of the team.
I've never told her before, and I can't expose it on the spot now.
Once you put on the hood, your relatives will not recognize you.
But even so, Iwahashi Shinichi still found it interesting to think that he would appear on the same show as her as a cast member, and would watch her perform live later, without Akina Nakamori knowing anything about it.
However, if I want to see her perform live, what will she sing today... I want to sing "tattoo".
As the saying goes, behind every hit song that audiences like to listen to, there is a singer who almost vomits singing it.
This sentence applies to DreamseTrue from the time he participated in the competition to the current promotion period. It applies to every non-recording engineer singer on the planet who has hit songs. It applies even more to Nakamori Akina, a Tao Pu star.
"Second place this week..."
The flip board rotated rapidly, and Kuroyanagi Tetsuko read out the song title of Akina Nakamori and "tattoo".
The luxurious glass door where Shinichi Iwahashi wanted to walk around and experience opened. Akina Nakamori walked out and stood between the two hosts.
Iwahashi Shinichi was sitting on the sofa behind, looking at her back.
We usually meet by chance and always talk to each other face to face. It seems like this is the first time that we can only look at her back like this. From the back, Akina Nakamori is small and very thin, but she doesn't have that unhealthy feeling.
.
The lighting in the recording studio is actually very deceptive. Sitting in front of the TV and watching the recording studio of "TheBestten", I thought it was sparkling and beautiful. However, sitting here now, I can clearly see it.
The ground beneath my feet was covered with scratches from the transportation of equipment and equipment, which was quite unsightly.
However, the luxurious luster on her shoulders and back that I saw on TV, but now I am sitting here and watching it in person, has not lost its luster. Even compared to the luster that I see on TV now, because it is richer and warmer, it has become
More beautiful.
In front of Shinichi Iwahashi, Akina Nakamori finished greetings with the two hosts, bowed and walked to the stage.
Watching her perform live reminded Shinichi Iwahashi of the letter he wrote to Akina Nakamori. After that letter was sent, Akina Nakamori wrote a reply to him.
It was at the busiest time that Shinichi Iwahashi returned to Kawasaki's office, read the letter, and put it away before he could reply. Now watching her perform in person, I suddenly remembered the first sentence of her reply:
"I started writing this letter after I came back from recording the location and just after cleaning the kitchen."
The two images of Akina Nakamori who imagined herself at home without makeup and diligently wiping the kitchen while wearing rubber gloves, and the radiant Akina Nakamori now are merged together.
The more Iwahashi Shinichi saw her dazzling on the stage, the more interesting he felt when he thought about that letter, even better than the luxurious scene he saw with his own eyes now.
With the giraffe hood as a cover, he is not afraid of being caught by the camera. He can laugh whenever he wants, as long as he doesn't laugh out loud.
…
Akina Nakamori also returned to the studio after singing. She also had to pay attention to where she sat on the sofa.
The singers sitting in the video studio wore luxurious or exaggerated costumes to perform on stage, but the most eye-catching one was the giraffe man in the back row.
No matter how ingenious her clothes are, she is just a human being and cannot be as eye-catching as an animal. She put aside the boring thought that suddenly popped up in her mind and sat down in the middle of the first row. Next came the grand entrance of the first place
.
Taking first place this week and enjoying the luxurious treatment is the idol group Hikaru Genji. In the idol world, which is changing very fast, now, the ones with the strongest momentum are the beautiful boys of Hikaru Genji.
They always wear roller skates and sing and dance while skating. Such a dreamy typhoon has touched the hearts of many young housewives and inspired many teenagers to follow suit and learn roller skating.
…
After the show was over, the atmosphere on the stage suddenly relaxed. The singers stood up one after another and exchanged greetings with the host. Singers who were familiar with each other could chat with each other.
Nakamori Akina's manager Omoto was waiting in the audience to greet her. After meeting Omoto, she left the studio, returned to the lounge, changed out of her performance clothes, took off her makeup, and then prepared to go home.
Backstage just after the show, there were singers and managers from different camps, assistants, costume designers, and the TV station's own staff. It was a bit chaotic.
Omoto walked in front as if clearing the way for her, and Akina Nakamori followed Omoto. Even if she let her mind wander and was lazy, she didn't have to worry about bumping into people or walls.
Akina Nakamori looked over her manager's shoulder and saw the male giraffe keyboard player from Dreamsetrue, and then she saw the other two members of the band who were traveling with him.
That eye-catching giraffe headband must be the most conspicuous person.
Didn't he even take off his hood after the performance? Nakamori Akina looked at this giraffe man and thought it was weird.
Not only her, but Ben who was walking in front also whispered: "Isn't that person afraid of the heat?"
After hearing this sentence clearly, Nakamori Akina almost laughed out loud. She was afraid that the people in front would hear her, so she quickly covered her mouth.
Fortunately, the three members of the band didn't realize that behind them, Taopusta and her manager were secretly laughing at their mascot.
The lead singer of the band, who was astonishingly expressive on stage, now looks like an ordinary girl, like the kind of young woman you can see on the street from time to time.
As she walked, she didn't know what to think of, so she took the giraffe man's arm and whispered something in his ear. She smiled brightly and then let go of him.
How strange. Nakamori Akina thought as she looked at this strange scene.
Walking behind them, it is inevitable to look at their backs. Rather than being curious or paying special attention, it is better to regard this kind of random thoughts as a reflection of mental relaxation after work.
The giraffe man's back was tall and straight, and he seemed to be a very hard-core person. However, when Akina Nakamori looked at his back, for no reason, she felt that this back seemed familiar to her, as if she had seen it somewhere.
This idea is quite strange. I don’t know how many men’s backs I see every day, and they are just distinguished by height, short, fat, and thin. However, “feeling” is a very mysterious thing. Nakamori Akina can’t tell where this sense of familiarity comes from.
where.
…
A performance that is not performed for the audience in front of you, but performed for all the audiences, brings quite amazing effects.
"TheBestten" debuted in this episode. After the performance, it was well received. The audience called the TV station to express their appreciation for DreamSeTrue.
The overlap between the audience of Band Paradise and the program of "TheBestten" is actually not very big. The former is essentially a grassroots talent show, while the latter is a luxurious show where popular singers gather together.
Because of this, the publicity effect of appearing on this show is particularly outstanding.
In today's era, the first way to express support without the smell of copper is to pick up the phone, the second is to send a postcard to the program team, and the third is to request songs on the radio like crazy.
For a time, the number of postcards sent to the "TheBestten" program group in order to request DreamseTrue's songs increased significantly, and the band's number of requests on the radio station ushered in a wave of increase on the already strong basis.
The level of support for the intangible product has increased significantly. At the same time, the sales of the single have also improved to a higher level after the show was broadcast. The debut album sold together with the single has also become more popular.
It was a very topical moment. When the band performed in Yokohama on the next Friday night, not only were the tickets sold out immediately, but there wasn't even a single person at the venue to resell them.
When the performance started, there were still spectators outside the venue who couldn't buy tickets and were unwilling to leave. They wanted to listen to the leaked sound outside.
This kind of scene can only be seen at the concerts of popular singers.
…
Taking the opportunity of their debut "thebestten", the band took this breath and finally entered the top ten of the singles chart. Together with their debut album, they were also entered the top ten, achieving the goal of having their debut single and album enter the top ten at the same time.
Top ten achievements.
Taking the opportunity of their debut in "TheBestten", a top-level music show opened the door to them, which seemed to be a signal that they could do it. Next, the office received more offers for music show performances.
Invitations, and invitations to music festivals.
Summer is the season when music festivals gather together, and outdoor music events are held almost every week around Tokyo.
For a band, there is no sense of mystery if there are too many music channels. It is also useless if you don’t have music channels. Therefore, you can only select the few that are suitable to be included in a bunch of music channels. There are various reasons for the others.
Decline politely.
There are two audio-visual dramas, one is TBS TV's "TheBestten", and the other is Fuji TV's "Night in the Studio".
"TheBestten" depends on the singer's actual chart data. "The Best Recording Studio" does not have the kind of tangible rules for appearing on the show. However, as a strong music show, not just anyone can be on it.
The week after "thebestten", "Night Studio" also extended a hand to the band.
Opportunities like this can only be obtained through various means, not pushed out. Now that you have the ticket, you must go for it.
There is only one thing that is special. There is one thing written in the script I got in advance.
The day the program was broadcast happened to be Akina Nakamori's birthday, so a celebration was arranged on the spot.
After this link, there was a special sentence: "Nakamori-san's own script does not have this sentence."
It was really serious with a hint of funny remarks. However, when Shinichi Iwahashi got the script, he was thinking about something else.
