Generally speaking, it is a normal reaction for young people who are approached by a talent scout to be surprised, especially if the talent scout is one's neighbor. However, Nitta Noriyuki's reaction can no longer be described as surprise.
It would be more appropriate to say that he was frightened.
"Sorry, I said this suddenly." Iwahashi Shin saw his reaction and quickly came to the rescue.
Nitta Hiroyuki shook his head, "No, it's my own fault...I'm sorry, because I'm very afraid of the camera."
"I see, I was the one who was rude." Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly realized. Then he thought, this guy looked trembling every time he saw him. Could it be that he was also afraid of dealing with strangers?
However, even if he is really a little afraid of society, the reaction of a mouse to a cat when seeing him is too weird. Right now, if someone is watching, Nitta Noriyuki looks like this, I am afraid that Iwahashi Shinichi
He's the big brother on the road who's here to blackmail me.
Iwahashi Shinichi felt that there was something slightly incongruous about Nitta Hiroyuki, but he couldn't tell where it was. However, it had nothing to do with him.
This matter was mentioned casually, but now it has been revealed and the topic has been changed.
After talking too much, Nitta Hiroyuki would sometimes have a little accent. Iwahashi Shinichi was a little curious and asked him: "Where is Nitta-san from?"
Nitta Hiroyuki hesitated for a moment before replying: "He is from Fukuoka."
"Fukuoka? That's far enough."
"……Yes."
If we can't continue the awkward conversation, we won't force it.
After eating, Iwahashi Shinichi took the bill. Before leaving, he thought about it and said to Nitta Noriyuki, "Thanks to your help this time, you and I are neighbors again. In the future, if there is anything you need my help with, please don't be polite."
.”
The club matters are basically settled at this point.
Iwahashi Shinichi called one by one to report to the band members. Akamatsu Haruko's call was the last one to get through. After he finished explaining the situation, he asked her, "Is it okay to go on stage right away?"
Akamatsu Haruko was silent on the other end of the phone for a while before answering "No problem."
Even so, considering her mental burden, the next time the band returned, Shinichi Iwahashi negotiated a time when he could attend and accompany the band to perform.
On the day of the performance, on the way to the club, he passed by a flower shop on the corner. On a whim, he walked in and asked the young clerk: "If you want to encourage others and convey hope, what flowers should you give?"
When he came out of the store, he had a handful of daisies in his hand.
I thought that sending flowers was purely accidental, or even a sudden kindness. However, Akamatsu Haruko was very happy after receiving the flowers, "Thank you, Iwahashi-san."
"When the performance comes next, I will stand in the front row. You can see me at a glance." Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "If anything happens, I will be the first to rush forward. So, just perform with peace of mind."
.”
"Yes, I will work hard." Akamatsu Haruko said.
This turmoil was not known to her friends, but her bandmates all sent condolences. However, after she was over the fear, someone sent her flowers to encourage her. Akamatsu Haruko was moved by Shinichi Iwahashi's kindness.
During the performance, she put the small bunch of daisies on the side of her belt and brought it to the stage.
On the stage for the first time after the storm, there were many guests who came to support the band. However, Akamatsu Haruko thought about Iwahashi Shinichi saying that he was in the audience, so she subconsciously looked towards the first row, and she saw him at a glance.
Shinichi Iwahashi took off his tie and tied it around his wrist, waving to the stage. Tatsuya Hirakawa and Tomohisa Kawazoe also spotted him. It was the first time they saw their manager supporting him. The novelty was enough to make them laugh.
"Good evening, we are abnormal." Akamatsu Haruko received warm cheers as soon as she opened her mouth. She had been reviled by the audience, but she felt the tenderness of the audience again this time.
"Please enjoy today's performance until the end!" She also did a decent job as the lead singer. After saying this, Tatsuya Okihira made a gesture, and the starting signal sounded.
Iwahashi Shin looked at the stage intently.
He not only came to the stage to appease Akamatsu Haruko, he also didn't give up on figuring out the thing that puzzled him. What did the troublemaking guest see that made him feel "unpleasant"?
Iwahashi Shinichi has seen Akamatsu Haruko singing in the rehearsal room and on the side of the stage, but he has not yet watched her performance from the perspective of an audience. This time, he is planning to observe it up close.
Looking at it this way, he really saw some problems.
There is no doubt about the level of Tatsuya Hirakawa and the others, they are quite superb among underground bands. Something went wrong when Haruko Akamatsu first joined, and it was the band members who took her away. Now, she has gradually caught up with her teammates.
Already.
Judging from her current performance level, it is already very solid. But Shinichi Iwahashi discovered a problem. Akamatsu Haruko kept avoiding the audience when she was performing.
This is not to say that she showed timidity when facing the audience, but a kind of arrogance that was completely opposite to timidity. Even in the face of the cheers of the audience, she remained unmoved.
When she stood on the stage, although her eyes were looking forward, there was no one in front of her.
Shinichi Iwahashi guessed that this might be the sequelae of the unpleasant experience she had when she first debuted on stage.
At that time, she stopped amid the boos from the audience, but quickly adjusted and continued singing. Perhaps at that time, in order not to be affected by the audience, she adopted the method of ignoring the audience.
That drunken guest kept provoking her that night. Shinichi Iwahashi could imagine the arrogance that Akamatsu Haruko showed when being provoked. No wonder the drunken man would say, "Stop looking down on others."
.
She sang while treating the audience as her enemy.
Thinking of this, Iwahashi Shinichi was not only surprised, but completely surprised.
After the storm, the band's debut was perfect, the members' performance was very successful, and the audience's response was very enthusiastic. It can be said that it was a perfect performance, and even the club had nothing to say.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi thought to himself, is it really okay to let Akamatsu Haruko have such an attitude? This incident may not be a warning.
Akamatsu Haruko lacks sincerity in her treatment of the audience and the stage.
Iwahashi Shinichi had something else to do next. After watching Abnormal's performance, he left the show early and returned to the backstage.
He did not speak out the problems he discovered immediately. He encouraged the band a few words, and after meeting with the person in charge of the club, he broke up with them and left first.
But this matter has always been in his mind.
After thinking about it, he called Miwa Yoshida early the next morning before going out. The ringing time in the receiver was a bit long, and after a while, Miwa Yoshida's voice came: "Moxi Moxi."
"it's me."
As soon as Iwahashi Shinichi announced his door, there was an explosion on the other side. He woke him up early in the morning and he was so angry that he couldn't stop it even through the phone line, so he almost came along the phone line and beat him.
