The small venue was full of people, and before the performance officially started, the air in the venue was filled with a bit of suppressed excitement.
Curiosity, anticipation, but no matter what, the cork on the bottle will not be removed until the moment the band comes on stage.
The view from where the three of them were standing was OK. Daikuro Moki looked towards the stage and saw the band LOGO "ZARD" on the bass drum of the drum set.
She remembered something and casually mentioned: "The producer of ZARD seems to be Iwahashi-san too."
Ryoko was talking to Kamiya and didn't hear clearly what Daikoku Moki said, so he turned around and said, "Moki-chan, what did you say about ZARD just now?"
“Didn’t you mention before that Band Heaven has an ‘offscreen Iwahashi-kun’?”
"Band Paradise? There is such a person." Ryoko thought for a moment and replied. She was so careless that she had forgotten when and why she and Daikuro Moki talked about "Iwahashi-kun offscreen"
It's over.
"The producer of ZARD is also Iwahashi-san." Daikuro Moki told her.
"Really?" Ryoko was a little surprised, "How did Moki-chan know?"
Daikuro Moki explained, "Didn't you buy the band's single? I saw it in the production information."
Liangzi likes this TV drama "Jiujiu" very much. She yearns for prosperity and liveliness. Liangzi, who came to Tokyo from Hokkaido, is quite similar to the heroine in the TV series - in fact, there are many such girls in Tokyo.
Once you have a sense of immersion in an idol drama, you will become the most loyal audience. After following a few episodes of the TV series, Ryoko even bought a single of the theme song and lent it to Daikuro Moki to listen to.
Daikuro Moki's goal is to become a singer-songwriter. She goes to the record store every month to buy new records to listen to. Ryoko knows her habits and will recommend them to her when she hears songs she likes.
In fact, it was Liangzi who saw the band’s performance poster first when he came to see the show this time.
"Really?" Ryoko didn't take it to heart, "Will Moki-chan still read the production information? It's amazing."
For ordinary listeners, the production information of the record is irrelevant. If he likes a song, Liangzi will just read the accompanying lyrics over and over again, sing along until he learns it, and then show off his skills in karaoke.
However, for Daikoku Moki, who wants to become a professional singer, the record's production information has its uses.
She will use the production information to confirm which company produced it, which producer was in charge, the singer himself, what roles each musician in the band played, and which recording studio the recording was done in...
When you want to submit your resume to a record company, you should always check out what kind of singers the company is promoting and what kind of music they produce. You can understand these things through the record production information.
It was also when looking at the production information of ZARD's single that Daikokumoki saw "Shinichi Iwahashi" again.
"Both of them are Iwahashi-san, I don't know if there is any relationship." Daikuro Moki said.
But I was thinking, in fact, there were not two Iwahashi-san, but four. Shinichi Iwahashi who produced the music festival, and Shinichi Iwahashi who performed on the stage.
Band Heaven's "Offscreen Shinichi-kun", and producer Shinichi Iwahashi who appears in ZARD's record production information.
"I don't know, 'Iwabashi' is not the kind of surname you see everywhere."
Ryoko thought for a while, "However, it might be just a coincidence." She guessed, "If the producer of ZARD is also the same Iwahashi-san, why doesn't he let the band participate in the show? With the band's level, participating in the show is not a problem.
I will win the championship."
"Hmm..." Dai Hei Moji's tone was ambiguous.
Liangzi said this. What she was thinking about was not why ZARD did not join Heavenly Kingdom, but DREAMS COME TRUE, which joined the band Heavenly Kingdom.
But everything was just her own imagination, so Dai Heimoji kept silent about it.
At this time, the suppressed excitement in the venue began to flow, and the performance was about to begin.
When the band stepped onto the stage, the emotional cork of the audience was pulled out, and the suppressed excitement suddenly burst out. Amid the cheers, Daikoku Moki looked at the female lead singer standing in the middle, a little surprised.
When the female lead singer looked at Wen Wenjing and stood on stage, she felt a little shy at first. It had nothing to do with the enthusiasm and wildness of rock musicians in her impression, and she even felt too restrained.
For a moment, Daikoku Moki thought of the big sister next door, a novice teacher who had just graduated from college and went to school as an intern.
Is such a girl really a female rock singer?
"Good evening, we are ZARD, please enjoy tonight's performance."
Sachiko Kamaiike, who was surrounded by her teammates, greeted the audience in the stadium. After the brief greetings, Tatsuya Hirakawa gave the signal that the performance could begin.
The musicians played the melody, and Sachiko Kamaike added her voice just right, working in perfect harmony.
When the performance started and went on, the doubts Daikoku Moji had just disappeared.
This girl, who doesn't look like "rock" in any way, is really a rock singer.
Although she looks a little different from traditional rock female lead singers, she is by no means as quiet and unedited as she appears on the outside. However, her enthusiasm and straightforwardness are shown in other ways.
In the singing, in the self-expression, in the posture of straightening the back from beginning to end.
In fact, when it comes to singing ability, although this lead singer's singing skills are good, she doesn't have that "overbearing" feeling. Watching her perform, you won't have the experience of being shocked by her explosive singing power and making your head buzz.
While she was listening, she occasionally thought that others might laugh at her as being pretentious: "In terms of singing ability, I am not inferior to her either."
When she was still in Hokkaido, Daikuro Maki served as the lead singer and performed at a local LIVEHOUSE. The boss once praised her singing ability and said that her "explosive power is first-rate."
Daikoku Moki is not an arrogant man who knows the heights of the world, but he is particularly confident in his singing ability.
She doesn't think there's anything wrong with having such self-confidence, nor does she think it's something to be ashamed of thinking she's not inferior to the "professionals" who have already debuted.
However, there is a thought in my heart that "I can do it too", which does not mean that Daikoku Moki doesn't like the lead singer and thinks she is not strong enough. Daikoku Moki quietly commented that she is "soft yet strong".
Although this lead singer is not that powerful and aggressive, and is even a bit gentle and harmless, she can in other ways make the audience unknowingly moved by her singing, and feel at ease immersed in the world of her music.
The lead singer's not-so-powerful singing skills did not hinder the performance. Not only that, this just-right singing skills, together with her overall temperament, the band's music style, and her performance on the stage, achieved a wonderful
of harmony.
Daikuro Moki watched the performance and thought to himself: "The music world constructed by this lead singer Sang can make people let go of their guard."
She was in the audience, cheering for the band's performance.
…
The whole performance was very exciting, not only Daikoku Moki thought so, but the warm atmosphere in the venue also reflected everything.
After the performance, Daikuro Moki, Ryoko, and Kamiya were on their way to Shinjuku. Ryoko and Kamiya also praised the performance just now.
Kamiya not only praised the performance, but also praised the appearance of the female lead singer, "She is such a beauty. She is even more beautiful in person than on the poster. When I watched the performance just now, I was always expecting her to look towards me.
Woolen cloth."
The lead singer is a bit shy, his eyes are always flickering, and he casually passes by the audience, but then leaves quickly.
"From what I've seen, among the current female rock singers in Tokyo, there is probably no one like this singer Sang." Liangzi also thought it was a wonderful viewing experience.
"It's amazing that the band can still find such a lead singer after Sasaki quits the band." After one performance, Kamiya forgot all about the food he had just eaten at Ryoko's place.
But this time, Liangzi had just finished watching the performance and was praising the lead singer, but he didn't try to make trouble again——
Instead, let him go directly to talk to Dai Heimoji.
"What do you think, Moki-chan?" she asked.
Daikoku Moki said: "A very good band."
However, what she was thinking about was not the performance just now, but the feeling that the band as a whole gave her. The performance was certainly wonderful, but what she would never forget more was the wonderful "sense of harmony."
This kind of band is probably unique.
The more unique a band is, the more inclusive the company that produces them is and the more unique its vision is. You can probably understand their style by looking at what kind of singers a company is promoting.
Daikuro Moki felt a little more curious about the record company where the band was working. In addition, there was also the name written on the production information: Shinichi Iwahashi.
Is this "Shinichi Iwahashi" the "Shinichi Iwahashi" she thought of?
…
For office workers, Friday night is "the same" as they walk out of the company with their colleagues after get off work, and then go have a drink with their boss.
After drinking with your boss, if the other person is willing to let you go mercifully, then the rest of the time that you can freely control will be truly "spend the same", otherwise it will just be a different way of socializing.
Starting at five o'clock in the evening, Hiroyuki Narita, two colleagues, and his boss went out drinking.
The boss was in a good mood today, so the few of them had no choice but to accompany him to the end. They went from store to store, all of which were high-end stores. They ordered drinks without batting an eye. Anyway, Dentsu’s entertainment budget was too much to spend.
At nine o'clock in the evening, I went to a new store, and I didn't expect to meet Shinichi Iwahashi here.
It is rare for brother-in-law and brother-in-law to meet each other. Unexpectedly, I just met him at noon today and bumped into him again in the same bar in the evening.
Shinichi Iwahashi did not come by himself. There were two or three people traveling with him, all of whom were behind the scenes in the industry. However, there was a familiar face among them, Yasushi Akimoto, the producer of Kitten Club.
It was the first time for Hiroyuki Narita and Yasumoto Akimoto to meet each other. However, this producer had become very popular in the past few years, and his name and photos were widely spread.
In this kind of occasion where everyone has their own social activities, they just nod and say hello, and then everyone goes back to their respective camps.
However, when Narita Hiroyuki's boss learned that his brother-in-law was also working in the same store, he waved his hand and asked Iwahashi Shinichi to charge him with the account.
Anyway, Dentsu’s entertainment budget is too much to spend.
At the beginning, at the wedding ceremony of Narita Hiroyuki and Asako, his boss said that Narita Hiroyuki was highly valued, and the implication was that there was no need to worry about salary after marrying him.
Shinichi Iwahashi didn’t know whether Asako had ever worried about money, but his boss was indeed very generous...
Of course, after being treated like this, Shinichi Iwahashi went over to say hello to Hiroyuki Narita's boss to express his gratitude, and also handed over his business card.
"Is Iwahashi-kun running a record company?"
The boss looked at the title on his business card and said "Oh", "You are young and have a lot of potential."
Of course, these are 100% polite words.
Such a little-known record company would naturally not catch the attention of Dentsu bosses.
Iwahashi Shinichi exchanged a few pleasantries and said goodbye in a sensible manner.
When he returned to his own stall, he noticed that the eyes of several people with him had changed a bit. The fat young man squinted his eyes and said with a slick look, "Thank you, Shen Yijun."
After all, he is a fat young man who doesn't ask anything about Hiroyuki Narita.
…
When he went home in the evening, Hiroyuki Narita told his wife that he had met with Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe today, and he was going to help them contact Fujifilm to discuss cooperation.
If I brought it up on my own initiative, it should be a chance encounter tonight, coupled with the excitement of alcohol.
"Whether it can succeed in the end depends on the strength of the band." Hiroyuki Narita is quite optimistic about them, "However, based on the band's consistent performance, it shouldn't be a problem."
Chaozi put the brewed tea in front of him, sat down, and held his own cup in his hand, "I think so."
She knew in her heart that Hiroyuki Narita did not introduce advertisers to Shinichi Iwahashi and then cheer them on and say there was no problem. Instead, he first thought there was no problem and then pulled strings for both parties.
Hiroyuki Narita looked at his wife, and the thought he had during the day came to his mind again, and he casually mentioned, "Shinichi and the eldest lady of the Watanabe family get along quite well."
Chaozi guessed what her husband was going to say, turned her head to face him, and waited for him to say everything.
"I don't think so just because of the power of the Watanabe family - of course, for Shinichi, with a strong helper, the future will be brighter."
But Hiroyuki Narita brought this up not to tell his wife that he thought the two people were a good match, but to know Asako's thoughts——
Why would Chaozi think that two people who are so harmonious are not a good match?
"I have thought about it before, Shinichi and Wan Yumi-san, these two are a perfect match." As soon as Asako opened her mouth, she made an opening statement that surprised Hiroyuki Narita.
"However, after dealing with the record company for Shen Yi, I changed my mind."
Chaozi looked calm, but what he said was unpleasant to listen to, "If Shinichi and Wanyumi-san were together, both of them would be too pitiful."
Although nothing could be seen from her expression, Hiroyuki Narita could feel that Asako's words were actually emotional.
They are siblings after all.
When Shinichi wanted to open a record company in partnership with Watanabe Manyumi, Asako took care of everything for him. While helping him avoid possible thunder, he also saw from a close distance how careful he was in making calculations.
Thinking about Shinichi's mood and determination, even when he was weak, he refused to give in and tried every means to gain his share of power, and how Watanabe Manyumi defended shrewdly and responded with the same careful calculation.
When Chao Zi looked at two people like that, it was hard to think of words like "a good match".
