As Akamatsu Haruko approached, Kamachi Sachiko said to her: "I'm very nervous." After a pause, she lowered her voice slightly and said: "A little shy."
It is not convenient to express feelings like shyness to male teammates who are just colleagues.
But the emotions suppressed in my heart are inevitably disturbing. Now that I say it to Akamatsu Haruko, I feel somewhat relieved.
"It's okay." Akamatsu Haruko guessed the source of her shyness and comforted her, "It suits you very well."
…I’m talking about Kamai Sachiko’s makeup and clothes.
Today, Sachiko Kamaiike only wore light makeup and the clothes she prepared for the performance were not too perfunctory, but she was a bit different from the female lead singer of a rock band in her impression. She looked a bit like a low-key creative female solo singer.
In this era, heavy makeup, leather clothes, and outgoing and enthusiastic style are the "identities" of female rock singers, but for the current Sachiko Kamaike, none of these three things can be related to her.
She did her own makeup and chose her own costumes for the performance.
The last time I met Shinichi Iwahashi, he proposed to let Kamai Sachiko be herself on stage and let the band members choose their own dressing style.
With him as the chief producer speaking, the manager, although a little dissatisfied, still followed his instructions and allowed the four of them to let themselves go.
To be yourself means to show your true side to the audience.
There might be a trickier approach, imagining what kind of lead singer the audience would like, and then hiding the real self behind the imagination, but this approach was something Kamaike Yukiko never even thought about.
"Akamatsu, are Iwahashi-san coming today?" Tomohisa Kawazoe asked her.
Kawazoe Tomohisa happened to ask Kamaike Sachiko what she was thinking, and she went to see Akamatsu Haruko.
Akamatsu Haruko denied, "Iwahashi-san didn't say she wanted to come."
Tomohisa Kawazoe said "Oh" and thought for a while, "However, if Iwahashi-san, it is possible that he would come to the show without saying a word, wait until the show is over, and suddenly appear at the summary meeting."
He said it seriously, but his teammates all laughed at his words.
Hirakawa Tatsuya was more reserved, but Koyanagi Masahori kept echoing, "It's something Iwahashi-san would do."
When the employees talk about their absentee boss, they always have witty words and are extremely united.
Sachiko Kamachi listened and couldn't help laughing.
Although she didn't join the group chat, she agreed with Kawazoe Tomohisa in her heart. The last time Iwahashi Shinichi went to the recording studio, he had already told her that he would choose a show that suited his schedule.
Today is the first show of the tour after the revamp, and Sachiko Kamaike is secretly looking forward to Shinichi Iwahashi coming. She doesn’t know which show Shinichi Iwahashi will appear in, and is curious about it, but is not impatient.
Because I know he will definitely come to see the show, either this one or one of the following ones.
No matter which scene she plays, she will give her best performance.
Tomohisa Kawazoe teased the absent boss and successfully livened up the atmosphere in the lounge. The three musicians talked to each other, and Sachiko Kamaike and Haruko Akamatsu were also drawn into the newly opened topic.
Until the responsible agent comes in, reports the previous situation to them, and lets them prepare for the stage.
…
When queuing up to enter, Kamiya boasted to the two girls traveling with him that he knew the three musicians in the band ZARD.
"At that time, the name of their band was not ZARD, and the lead singer was not the girl she is now, but a male lead singer named Sasaki."
A girl named Liangzi was curious, "Then why did the last lead singer quit?"
"Well, if you're an underground band, there are only a few reasons for leaving." Kamiya pretended to be profound and said with emotion, "But if that guy Sasaki knew that the band could debut, he would probably regret it."
Liangzi disagreed with him, "That's it, maybe the band won't be able to debut unless the lead singer is changed."
"When Sasaki was the lead singer, the band was quite famous in the underground music circle." Kamiya didn't want to fall short in front of girls and spoke up for Sasaki.
"Judging from the tone, you are quite familiar with the band."
Liangzi realized that Kamiya was not as powerful as he boasted, and deliberately asked: "Kamitani, since you know the musicians in the band, can you take us backstage after the performance?"
"this……"
Kamiya was breaking out in a cold sweat as he excused himself: "It wouldn't be appropriate to go there without saying hello..." He knew that the band was genuine as early as when they stopped calling it their current name, but they only drank together once or twice.
There is no friendship.
While he was explaining, he regretted in his heart that he would have stopped arguing with Liangzi about the lead singer.
But Ryoko had lost interest in continuing to talk to him. She knew enough was enough and did not pursue him any more. She went to talk to another girl who was traveling with him, "Moki-chan, I don't want this place to be close to Shinjuku. Wait."
After the next show is over, let’s go play?”
Daikuro Moki didn't expect that Ryoko would change topics so quickly, and thought she was funny.
"What are you laughing at?" Liangzi was curious.
Dahei Moji didn't answer the question and readily agreed, "Okay, let's go."
Liangzi went to ask Kamiya again, "Kamitani, are you going?"
"Why?"
Kamiya didn't expect that Liangzi put it down gently and reacted, but Liangzi said disgustedly: "What an unpleasant man. Answer quickly, do you want to go?"
"Of course."
Kamiya was about to say "I know a very good store" to make up for it, but he remembered the shame he had just suffered at Liangzi's, so he learned a little better this time and stopped bragging about himself.
…
Last October, Daikuro Maki packed his bags and came to Tokyo from his hometown in Hokkaido.
When she was a sophomore in high school, she came to Tokyo alone from Hokkaido and saw the Girls Rock Festival held at Wangan Plaza. Since then, she has made up her mind to come to Tokyo and work hard to become a professional singer.
One day, she will stand on a stage as big as that, even bigger than that, and hold a concert dedicated to her, Daikoku Moki.
After arriving in Tokyo, Daikuro Maki rented a house and settled down.
Her family runs a large-scale food company in Hokkaido. She has never worried about money since she was a child. It is the same when she comes to Tokyo. Ordinary people who go to Beijing have to plan carefully for food, clothing, and daily life. Daikuro Maki lives in Daikanyama.
apartment.
"Live in the same neighborhood as the protagonists in the TV series."
After the Yuejiu drama "Falling in Love with Your Eyes!" started airing, when Liangzi came to her home as a guest, she told her about this coincidence with excitement.
"Really?" Daikoku Moji has never watched that TV series.
Liangzi nodded seriously, "Yes! But the protagonists in the TV series couldn't afford the rent themselves, so they found roommates... How much does Moki-chan's apartment cost per month?"
"One hundred and fifty thousand yen." Daikokumo said truthfully.
Ryoko let out a cry of envy and teased her, "She is indeed the eldest lady from Sapporo."
"That's right, she's the eldest lady from Sapporo." Daikoku Moki has always been immune to such words and admitted it generously.
The more magnanimous you are, the more relaxed and pleasant you will be when getting along with Liangzi.
…
Ryoko, Daikuro Maki, and Kamiya are all from Hokkaido, and Ryoko is Daikuro Maki's classmate in the same high school.
When he was still in Sapporo, Daikoku Maki sang at the local LIVEHOU, and bad students in the school often went to support him. Ryoko was one of the students who often went to support him.
However, she is not considered a bosozoku, she just doesn't like studying and is keen to join in the fun everywhere. Just after graduating from high school, Ryoko went to Tokyo half a year earlier than Daikuro Maki. If you want to talk about liveliness, there is no place more lively than Tokyo.
After Daikuro Maki came to Tokyo, he was not in a hurry to submit his resume to a record company. He settled down and first planned to see the world.
Even the eldest lady who came all the way from Hokkaido was just a country girl in Tokyo. Although in her heart, Daikuro Maki sneered at the arrogant Tokyo people's statement that "everything outside Tokyo is countryside".
However, Hokkaido is located in a remote area, too far away from the central Tokyo area, and popular things are always slower. Singers are not willing to hold concerts there because they are worried about attendance.
Unlike Tokyo, there are new concerts to watch every week since Daikoku Maki came to Beijing.
She is at home in Tokyo and goes to all kinds of concerts, including those of singers, idols, bands, and foreign musicians. While listening to their music and watching their performances, she enjoys them and learns from them.
In addition, after getting in touch with Ryoko, she also went to the famous LIVEHOU in Tokyo under the leadership of Ryoko, and joined the Hokkaido musicians' hometown association in Tokyo.
It stands to reason that Daikuro Maki has not engaged in music-related work since arriving in Tokyo and has only been attending concerts. However, Ryoko accepted the offer and said, "As long as you have a heart that yearns for music, you can join."
As for Ryoko, she is a person who likes to go to livehouses to join in the fun. Although she does not know any musical instrument or sings, she plays a guide-like role in the hometown association because she knows the livehouses in Tokyo very well.
Thanks to her introduction, Daikoku Moji successfully joined the association.
Kamiya met Ryoko in the hometown association. He is four years older than Ryoko and Okuro Maki. He is a salaryman and works part-time as a bassist. It is said that he is also the bassist for three salaryman bands at the same time.
Kamiya is not bad-hearted, and he is quite good at taking care of others, but he tends to exaggerate when he speaks, and he likes to brag a bit.
For example, when Daikoku Moki first joined the hometown association, Kamiya showed himself to Daikoku Moki and said that he was very familiar with Yoshida-san, the lead singer of DREAM Color T-E.
But in fact, Ryoko later told Daikuro Moki that it was true that Kamiya and Yoshida-san knew each other, but they were just acquaintances, not "very close" at all.
The one who has the best relationship with Yoshida-san in the hometown association is Takahiro Nishikawa, who looks like a gangster.
"Nishikawa-kun and Yoshida-san have been friends since they were in Hokkaido. Before DREAM's debut, Nishikawa-kun would be asked to help from time to time. I heard that either there was already a keyboard player in the band, or Nishikawa-kun was using another keyboard.
instrument, so I invited him to join the band.”
Liangzi told Daikuro Moji some of the news he had heard. After finishing speaking, he put the words there first, "I heard it too, so I can't guarantee it's true or false."
Completely different from Kamiya who likes to talk big words, Ryoko is very honest.
…
In fact, the band's Yoshida-san didn't often attend hometown gatherings. After the DREAM T-shirt became popular, he didn't have much time to go out. He only appeared twice in a year.
Although Yoshida-san's attitude was the same as before when she participated in the two activities, there were still sour voices in the hometown association that felt that she would draw a line with her fellow villagers when she became popular.
However, compared to whether Yoshida Miwa forgot about her fellow villagers once she became famous, Daikoku Maki had another thing on her mind from the time Kamiya mentioned the DREAM colored T-shirt.
At that time, DREAM's debut single "So Happy! So Happy! I Like It So Much!" became a best-seller, and the band was already somewhat famous.
But in Daikuro Maki's memory, the first time she heard the name of this band and the first time she saw their performance was when she came to Tokyo to watch it in her second year of high school.
Among the bands that appeared at that time was DREAM.
Ryoko said that if DREAM had not already had a keyboard player, Takahiro Nishikawa would have joined the band. After hearing this, what Daikuro Moki thought of was the DREAM he had seen at the music festival.
keyboard player.
I remember he was a very tough young man wearing professional attire that was incompatible with the music festival stage.
His name was Iwahashi Shinichi, which was the same name as the person who led the production of the music festival. Because the surname Iwahashi was not that common, Okuro Moki still remembered that he was puzzled by this coincidence of the same name for a while.
I was curious in my heart whether the two Iwahashi Shinichi were the same Iwahashi Shinichi.
In his second year of high school, when he went to Tokyo alone to watch a music festival, Daikuro Maki contacted his high school senior who had formed a band with him in Hokkaido, and heard that his senior mentioned the name Iwahashi Shinichi.
When she came to the music festival, Daikuro Moki thought that when she came to Beijing, she would join her former senior. However, in the fall of the new year, she finally came to Tokyo, but her senior at that time felt that he was not playing music because he had no future.
That piece of material has been given up long ago.
People on this big stage in Tokyo come and go in a hurry all day long.
Not only that, everything on the stage changes so fast. Now, the keyboard player of DREAM T-shirt and E is a mysterious man wearing a giraffe hood, whose nickname is "KIriNjun".
If you cover your face, you won't know who is under the hood.
This KIRIN-kun is Iwahashi Shinichi, or has it been replaced by someone else?
Okuromaki was once puzzled by the coincidence of the two Shinichi Iwahashi, but as a result, this doubt has not been answered yet, and a new doubt has arisen.
But this new doubt made Daikuro Moki even more curious about the name Iwahashi Shinichi.
The seniors at that time had already stayed away from music, and they couldn't ask anything. Daikuro Maki asked Ryoko about the name Iwahashi Shinichi. Ryoko thought for a while and said "Ah", "Iwahashi-kun off-screen."
.”
"What?"
Ryoko explained to her that the producer of the band Heavenly Kingdom was named "Iwahashi", and the censor Kenji Yoshida often shouted to him from afar on the show, so Iwahashi-san's nickname was "Iwahashi-kun off-screen".
“Band Heaven?”
Daikoku Moki suddenly thought that DREAM T-shirt and E were also the band that debuted in Heaven.
