Watanabe Manyumi followed his gaze and turned her head.
An amateur band that had just arrived was debugging equipment there.
The members wear clothes that are too flashy to the point of being too flashy, their hair is dyed in various colors, and their slender eyebrows are raised very delicately, making them unforgettable.
Although it was an amateur road show in Osaka Castle Park, the formation looked like they were attending a formal performance. Such a sophisticated band was quite conspicuous in Osaka Castle Park.
Not only that, they are so well-equipped and well-prepared. Just looking at them gives you a feeling that their strength cannot be underestimated.
"It seems pretty powerful."
Seeing such a band, Watanabe Wan Yumi also had more expectations for their next performance. In addition to the two of them, there were several other audience members who were also attracted and cast their eyes on the band.
Even before the performance started, I already had a lot of expectations.
The band members took out a prepared piece of cardboard from the equipment they brought with them calmly and stood aside. The name of the band was written on the cardboard.
Seeing the names on the cardboard, the onlookers who were attracted by them burst into laughter. Watanabe Wan Yumi couldn't help but said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "What a strange name."
On the cardboard, it was written that the name of the band was "シャRanq" (shooting random q).
Iwahashi Shinichi also thinks it’s quite subtle.
Looking at such an impressive band, how could they come up with such a name that sounds like a comedian?
The last time that made him think, "It turns out that there are people in the real world who have such silly names" was Chaofengzhuang, where he lived when he first traveled through time.
This feeling is like a Mickey Mouse sitting in the middle of the dragon tattoo of a social leader.
Funny with a hint of weirdness.
"Given such a name, my original impression of them as 'very powerful' has been diluted." Watanabe Wan Yumi probably expressed the thoughts of the onlookers, including Iwahashi Shinichi.
Despite this, Shinichi Iwahashi still has some expectations for this band.
After all, although Mickey Mouse is funny, the coiled dragon tattoo also looks real.
Maybe it’s just a waste of the name?
Iwahashi Shinichi, who almost gave the band a name like Phoenix Legend, has a natural tolerance for various band names that sound weird.
"Anyway, let's take a look first." He said, taking the lead to move forward.
Watanabe Manyumi followed him and walked closer to the band.
The band members were all ready, and the young man who was the lead singer, as the representative, introduced himself in a decent manner. The young man was wearing gorgeous performance clothes, with raised thin eyebrows, and his overall temperament was quite neutral.
After introducing himself, the musician behind him started playing time.
The audience's appetite has been whetted, and their eyes are on the band, waiting for their feedback on a performance that matches the gorgeous costumes and makeup.
Shinichi Iwahashi is no exception.
However, when the performance started, the musicians started playing, and the lead singer started singing, Iwahashi Shinichi's mood began to cool down. This strength seems to be a bit different from his appearance?
The band members were having fun as soon as the performance started, playing their instruments and twisting their bodies to the melody.
The lead singer who was surrounded in the middle was even more arrogant. Although his singing and arranging skills were not very good, his twists were really beautiful.
The coiled dragon tattoo turns out to be a tattoo sticker, only Mickey Mouse is real.
But after all, this is where the band gathers, and the quality of the performance comes first.
As their performance progressed, the audience began to boo, "Idiot——"
“Has such a fool also come to ‘Chengtian’?!”
Such direct words were shouted out without any hesitation from the mouths of the audience members who had just been attracted. The Osaka audience's ability to boo was not seen at zard's live house, but it was seen here.
The reason why the audience was so mean was because the band looked so much like veterans on the outside, and after their appetites were whetted, the contrast made people feel disappointed and a little bit offended.
Excessive expectations will bring more disappointment.
Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help but sigh. The contrast between their appearance and strength was really too huge.
"It seems like we thought too much." Watanabe Manyumi also felt a little tricked.
However, she didn't feel bad at all that this happened in Osaka. On the contrary, she felt that if this contrast was regarded as the humor of Osaka people, then it would be a good performance.
"Is this visual kei?" She wasn't sure.
Shinichi Iwahashi shook his head, "Although the level is far from good, it is glam rock with a decent flavor." He then simply explained to her, "Visual kei is a way of presenting music, but glam rock is a type of music."
Watanabe Mayumi didn't seem to understand, but after hearing Shinichi Iwahashi say that they have a good flavor and are obedient, she asked, "So, is there any merit?"
"A band that can use a name like 'Shoo Ran Q' calmly, at least in terms of thickness of face, will not lose to others." Iwahashi Shinichi said seriously like a joke and did not answer her question.
However, these words do come from the sincerity.
This band, despite such ridicule, was still immersed in its own world and performed, and even interacted with the audience who laughed at them.
Apart from anything else, his psychological quality is first-rate.
Although the quality of the band is not that great, Shinichi Iwahashi admires the members' shamelessness.
The band responded to the audience's ridicule in this way, and gradually, the audience began to enjoy it. Indeed, if this performance is not regarded as a band performance, but as a joke performance, it will become more exciting.
The atmosphere was changed by the band, from the original booing to an alternative interactive performance.
This ability to turn boos into laughter is quite powerful. The onlookers who can instantly switch from a band audience to a comedy audience are also quite powerful.
But the more this happened, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't stand it anymore. Before leaving, he thought about it, took out his wallet, took out a hundred yen coin, took a business card from the business card box, and walked over.
Put them in their piano cases together.
The hard-working lead singer showed a hint of surprise and curiosity when he saw Shinichi Iwahashi put his business card. However, he still restrained himself and just gave him a gesture of thanks and continued to interact with the audience during the performance.
Watanabe Mayumi, who was watching from the side, was quite surprised. From Tokyo to Osaka, this was the first time I saw Shinichi Iwahashi tipping a road show band.
Not only that, he also left his business card.
Putting down the coins and business cards, Shinichi Iwahashi called to Watanabe Wan Yumi, "Do you want to continue watching? Wan Yumi-san."
Watanabe Wan Yumi raised her wrist and glanced at it, "Are you still going to watch zard's performance tonight?"
"Of course I want to go." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
The two people moved and walked outside Osaka Castle Park.
After walking a little further, Watanabe Manyumi said to him, "This is the first time I've seen you do this."
"Huh?" Shinichi Iwahashi pretended to be stupid.
Watanabe Manyumi sighed, "It's okay to leave a tip and leave a business card. Do you think they are good talents?" Iwahashi Shinichi rarely took the initiative, so she couldn't help but think about it.
"That's not a tip."
This time it was Watanabe Manyumi who said "huh?". Although she was not pretending to be stupid, she really didn't understand.
