"Are you going? Shinichi-kun." Watanabe Manyumi asked again.
There was no way, he was the one waiting for the answer. The key was held by Watanabe Manyumi, and she naturally had the final say in the rhythm of the topic.
Having said that, Watanabe Wan Yumi made such a detour, and the initiative was also in her hands. He often used this trick himself, and now he also experienced the feeling of being led by the nose, Iwahashi Shinichi was quite helpless.
However, he was not completely unconcerned about Original Love's performances. After all, he was the one who suggested signing Watanabe Wanyumi to them. Before the band officially signed with the record company, Tajima Takao and his teammates would go to his place from time to time to help.
Thinking of this, he nodded and agreed, "If it doesn't cause any trouble, of course I will go."
Watanabe Manyumi got up and walked to the desk to get the tickets, "If Shinichi-kun goes to see it, Tajima and the others will definitely be very happy."
These words are definitely not a courtesy from Watanabe Mayumi. To Tajima Takao and his band, Iwahashi Shinichi is a boon, and the band members also respect him quite a bit.
Performing a solo performance at Luming Hall was Tajima Takao's biggest dream during his underground band days, and this performance can be regarded as a "dream come true".
Of course, the reason why the wish came true was first of all because the agency paid a venue rental fee of 250,000 yen for the band.
However, from the underground period to the management of signing agencies and record companies, the popularity gradually accumulated, and it was not difficult to support the venue of Luming Pavilion. The sales of tickets were pretty good, and there was no problem in returning the money.
For such a meaningful first performance, Watanabe Manyumi, as the boss, naturally had to attend, and she invited Shinichi Iwahashi because she sincerely believed that people at Original Love would be happy about Shinichi Iwahashi's presence.
In addition, and the most important point, inviting him to watch Tajima Takao's performance also contains another layer of meaning that cannot be explained clearly and can only be experienced by Iwahashi Shinichi.
The official performance started at six o'clock in the evening and ended at 7:50. Before going to the performance, the two of them had something to eat near the office.
Afterwards, the emotionless driver took the two of them to Meguro Romonikkan.
When we arrived, it was still five minutes before the official start of the performance. Judging from the attendance of the audience, the tickets were sold well. After having an agency and a record company, even the pre-performance publicity was done well, and even the posters were carefully prepared.
.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe entered the venue directly without going backstage.
Meguro Romonikan is well-known, but the venue is similar to other livehouses and the boundary between the stage and the audience is not clear.
Don't expect any special privileges if you come here to watch a show.
The good seats in front of the stage had long been occupied. Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe squeezed forward, and as soon as they stood still, they heard the noise coming from the front, and the performance began.
…
originallove has a distinctive stage style, and the members' abilities are also remarkable, making them very suitable for live performances.
After signing a contract with an agency and a record company, and undergoing more professional training, although the level of playing has not improved a lot, the performance on the stage has been improved to a higher level, and the live performance has become more enjoyable.
.
This is already clear when you are in the auditorium and feel the enthusiastic response from the audience.
The audience that came to watch the performance was diverse, and the methods of support were also colorful. Shinichi Iwahashi and Mayumi Watanabe were among them. Although they were not as enthusiastic as them, they were still immersed in the scene and enjoying originallove's performance.
At the end of the performance, the audience exited the stage in an orderly manner, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Wanyumi Watanabe also followed the crowd out.
After watching such a performance, even if the air-conditioning in the venue was turned on, one would still be sweating. The venue was crowded, and Shinichi Iwahashi's shoulder bumped into Watanabe Wan Yumi's from time to time, and his elbow rubbed her arm from time to time.
It was midsummer, and both of them were wearing short-sleeved shirts. Once they touched each other, they could feel the temperature of each other's skin and exchange sweat.
If it hadn't been for such an occasion, they would rarely stand so close. Watanabe Wanyumi's body temperature was slightly higher, and when they occasionally met, Iwahashi Shinichi could clearly feel the heat coming from her.
As the distance got closer, Watanabe Mayumi's body temperature made her whole person warmer in a sense, making her a living woman.
…
However, the thoughts brought about by such female warmth only lasted until leaving the venue.
After coming out, Watanabe Manyumi asked him, "Now go backstage and say hello to everyone in the band?"
Shinichi Iwahashi agreed, and the two of them walked backstage together.
At this time, Original Love, who had finished her first solo performance at Luming Pavilion, was having a post-performance wrap-up meeting with her manager and producer.
The band performed well today, and the producer also affirmed them. Of course, he also pointed out some shortcomings accordingly.
While the meeting was in progress, the manager first noticed Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe coming over and hurried up to greet them.
"Excuse me." Watanabe Mayumi greeted the band's producer politely.
The members of originallove also quickly saluted their president and said hello to Shinichi Iwahashi. It was expected that Watanabe Mayumi would come over today, but Shinichi Iwahashi did not expect him to come over.
However, judging from Tajima Takao's reaction, Watanabe Manyumi's statement that Tajima and the others will be happy when he comes is true.
"Iwahashi-san, did you watch the performance just now?"
The producer of originallove simply asked Shinichi Iwahashi what he thought of the performance just now. Shinichi Iwahashi expressed some of his own opinions, but he didn't say much more.
Since you are not the one in charge and the other party is just asking politely, remember that you will make mistakes if you talk too much.
While the people behind the scenes were chatting, the band members, who had nothing to do for the time being, began to pack up their instruments and belongings.
Tajima Takao oiled the guitar strings and was about to put it back into the case.
The backstage space was small and nothing could be seen at a glance. Iwahashi Shinichi looked around casually and noticed that Tajima Takao was using an expensive Gibson electric guitar.
"This piano is quite good." He praised.
Tajima Takao was praised for the musical instrument in his hand, and his expression was as if someone noticed that he had a super beautiful girlfriend. He told Shinichi Iwahashi, "...I saved up money for a long time to buy it, but it's very special."
It’s easy to use and worth it.”
"I see." Iwahashi Shin nodded, looking at the Gibson thoughtfully.
Expensive guitar...
While they were talking here, there was a commotion from outside. The manager explained: "There is another performance at Luming Pavilion, and the band that is going to perform should be here."
Sure enough, as soon as the manager finished explaining, he heard footsteps approaching and heard a voice: "Congratulations, Tajima-kun, for performing alone at Luming Pavilion."
