The band's performance was of a very high standard.
The three musicians have all been trained in the underground music circle for many years, and have rich experience as concert support musicians. They have excellent skills and are comfortable on stage.
With strong teammates as assistants, as well as several months of singing training and stage performance training, Kamaike Sachiko's performance on stage has improved rapidly compared to when she first joined the band.
After all, he is an ordinary person who became a monk on the way.
Sachiko Kamaiike made a little joke at the beginning, but as the performance slowly unfolded, the Osaka audience not only tolerated her small mistakes, but also expressed their recognition of the band's performance.
The performance got better and better, and after seeing the band's standard, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more enthusiastic.
The audience who knew nothing about zard saw the performance of a band that was online and had a debut level. However, for Shinichi Iwahashi, they could clearly feel the progress of Sachiko Kamaiike.
Of course, the performance was not perfect, and Sachiko Kamaike's performance was not impeccable, but it made Shinichi Iwahashi understand how much room she has for improvement.
She is indeed a talented player.
On the stage, while Sachiko Kamaichi was singing, she did not forget Haruko Akamatsu's advice to "don't refuse to communicate with the audience" and tried to interact with the audience like a professional singer.
However, taking into account singing and interaction at the same time seems a bit overwhelming.
When singing the fourth song, she accidentally forgot the words again and stuck out her tongue out of embarrassment and shyness.
The audience at this venue probably already knows that the lead singer of this band sticks out his tongue when he is in trouble. However, for Sachiko Kamaike's small mistake, the Osaka audience tolerated it and cheered as encouragement.
That's the thing. If your level is excellent, the audience will be tolerant of occasional small mistakes. However, if your level is not good enough and you still make such mistakes, you will get boos from the audience.
However, on the one hand, Sachiko Kamaiike's performance level was recognized, and on the other hand, what Shinichi Iwahashi thought was that although she was clumsy and missed the point, her kindness to the audience was still conveyed to the audience.
The audience's tolerance for the singer not only recognizes her strength, but also makes them feel that they are being respected.
Iwahashi Shinichi saw Sachiko Kamaike's performance and knew that she was working very hard to find ways to communicate with the audience, trying to look directly at the audience and respond to their enthusiasm.
However, being in such a hurry made communicating with the audience a shackles for her during the performance.
The last time I saw Kamaike Sachiko perform was a few months ago. At that time, Kamaike Sachiko didn't know how to perform on stage, and Iwahashi Shinichi was able to let her practice.
However, after so many performances, I still don’t understand the point, so I can’t just consider whether the training level is sufficient.
…
At the end of this performance, the band retreated backstage, waiting for the encore to return.
For this session, there are also staff members mixed in with the audience. If the audience in Osaka does not have an encore, then they will be responsible for starting the encore.
However, what is gratifying is that the pre-prepared staff did not come in handy. As soon as the band retreated backstage, the Osaka audience spontaneously applauded and shouted an encore to the stage.
When performing in a small venue, as long as there are one or two symbolic encore sounds, the singer will come back immediately.
What's more, the current encore formation is not "symbolic".
Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe were also in the audience now, and they clapped along with them. The performance was indeed wonderful. Sachiko Kamaike's singing ability and the tacit understanding between the band were all improved visibly.
Compared to Shinichi Iwahashi, Watanabe Manyumi is more like an "ordinary audience".
In terms of music, she didn't know much about professional things, but she also found her own position and listened and watched as an ordinary audience.
Since we are making music for the general public, we must first impress her, a member of the general audience.
Although it is not perfect and has many flaws, it really touches her heart as an ordinary viewer.
At this time, the band returned to the stage.
It seems that the four people are in a good mood. After traveling from Tokyo to Osaka, the performance can be recognized by the Osaka audience, which is undoubtedly exciting.
Surrounded in the middle of the simple stage, Sachiko Kamaichi was dripping with sweat, and the hair on her forehead and temples was also wet. But this made her look beautiful and full of life.
When you see the promotional posters, you may think she is a vase. But after watching her performance, you know that she is by no means a lifeless vase. Instead, she has a lively beauty that is rooted in the soil and full of vitality.
“Thank you everyone in Osaka!”
This time, Kamai Sachiko finally did not forget "Osaka".
Maybe she was moved by the enthusiasm of the Osaka audience, or maybe she just finally said the words she forgot at the beginning. After saying this, she paused and showed a small smile.
An expression of relief.
The audience gave her another round of applause. Iwahashi Shinichi was in the audience and felt that the communication between Kamaike Sachiko and the audience at this moment was the most successful one in tonight's performance.
He looked at Sachiko Kamaiike on the stage, thoughtfully.
The musicians counted the beats and the encore performance officially began.
When the last song was left, the music stopped, and Sachiko Kamaiike introduced to the audience: "This is the last song tonight, and it is also the debut single just released by the band. The name of the song is "まっすぐに..."."
"The title of the song means straightforwardness and frankness, but it can also be said to mean 'keep moving forward.'" Sachiko Kamaike talked about the song and lyrics, trying to convey her thoughts when she wrote the lyrics to the audience.
This was not easy to do. She was so focused on it that she temporarily forgot about Akamatsu Haruko's instructions to look at the audience.
"...In short, it is a frank and refreshing song like the title." She said.
If there is something to be conveyed in the lyrics that can be conveyed to the audience and resonate with the audience, even just a little bit, then it will be supreme happiness for the creator.
"Please listen, "まっすぐに..."." After Sachiko Kamaike finished speaking, the musician started counting the beats.
The band sang the last song of the night.
…
At the end of the performance, Shinichi Iwahashi and Wan Yumi Watanabe followed the audience and exited in an orderly manner.
After coming out, we walked backstage together.
On the way, Iwahashi Shinichi thought of something and raised his wrist to check the time. It was past eight-thirty. He took out his pager and checked the incoming mail. However, he didn't see the one he was thinking of just now.
He calmly put the pager back.
Watanabe Mayumi looked forward, "The performance tonight was really good."
"Indeed." Iwahashi Shin nodded and thought about his words, "Sachiko-san and the band still have a lot of potential that can be tapped."
Regarding this point, Watanabe Manyumi also agrees.
The two came to the backstage.
The four members of the band were with the accompanying staff. If I had known that Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe would come, the summary meeting after the performance did not start immediately, but waited for them to take their seats.
"Thanks for your hard work."
After a brief greeting, everyone stood facing each other in the corridor backstage for a summary meeting.
Although this scene has some not-so-good associations with being forced to stand and being lectured, the reality is that the backstage space is really small, and there are so many people, and there is no room that can accommodate them all.
"Tonight's performance was wonderful." Shinichi Iwahashi praised the band.
At this time, Watanabe Manyumi often consciously plays a supporting role and is responsible for listening on the side.
“Especially the cooperation of several people, there is a tacit understanding,” he said.
Groups and bands pay great attention to compatibility. If a group of people looks incoherent when put together, and this weirdness is not intentional, it will be difficult (but not impossible) to climb to the top.
However, it is better to do less gambling on whether you are the chosen one.
When Iwahashi Shinichi was talking, Kamaike Sachiko kept staring at him, as if she was ready to be called out at any time. She was very concerned about what Iwahashi Shinichi would think of her performance tonight, and more importantly, wanted to
I want to hear what he thinks of her performance.
Kamai Sachiko knows that she is not good at dealing with the audience and can never find a suitable way.
Therefore, she wanted to hear Shinichi Iwahashi tell her. Shinichi Iwahashi opened the door to her closed dream for her, and Sachiko Kamaike unconsciously trusted and relied a little on him.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi did not mention the topic of communicating with the audience that she was concerned about.
Kamachi Sachiko felt a little disappointed.
…
The time is nine ten in the evening.
Akina Nakamori has a full schedule today, from early morning to late at night.
However, she was very energetic at work. When she went to catch the last show in the evening, even her manager Ben felt tired. However, looking at Akina Nakamori, she was still very motivated and seemed to have endless energy.
Omoto couldn't help but admire Nakamori Akina.
Akina Nakamori didn't know that Omoto was secretly admiring him. When the work was finished, she was thinking about the agreement she had made with Shinichi Iwahashi to call her today.
I'll call you when I get home...
Thinking of being able to call him after the call was over, Nakamori Akina's energy filled her whole body again, as if dialing the phone was a reward for her work.
This mentality is really like that of a child who is allowed to watch TV as long as he finishes his homework.
However, Akina Nakamori doesn't think she is childish.
Finally, the work was over and I got into the car. Although there was no expression on her face, Ben noticed from her little movements that she was in a good mood.
Even though she is an adult, Akina Nakamori still doesn't know how to hide her emotions at this time.
After resuming work in the New Year, Akina-chan has become weird...Oben thought quietly.
Akina Nakamori didn't care at all what her agent was thinking in her mind.
After returning home, she changed her clothes and picked up the phone.
