This was Shinichi Iwahashi’s first time to see Akina Nakamori’s concert.
It was a small venue with popular tickets, and more than half of the people gathered here were loyal supporters, but he, a person who could even remember the lyrics of her famous songs wrongly, came purely because of her.
The stage before the official performance started was empty. Idols pursue glamor. When popular idols perform in public, they not only have to prepare all kinds of exaggerated skirts, but also specially build a luxurious stage that fits the status of "idol".
The stage in front of Shinichi Iwahashi was quite simple. Only the instruments of the live accompaniment band were present, and the stage lighting arrangement was also very simple. It was a very standard stage that would only be used by singers.
Breaking away from the dreamy glamor of idols, from this point of view, Nakamori Akina is undoubtedly a singer.
Although Iwahashi Shinichi came here because of her, he was still thinking about asking Watanabe Mayumi to send song demos to Kenyin. This time he came to watch Akina Nakamori's concert, and he still had the knowledge of her performance on stage.
The idea of grace.
The better he knows her on stage, the better it will be for his subsequent production.
Wearing Akina Nakamori's dress belt, before the performance started, Shinichi Iwahashi was thinking randomly and remembered the tie she took from him.
She didn't know how to tie her skirt to Iwahashi Shinichi, and she couldn't figure out how his tie would look like when she tied it around her waist.
But, holding her skirt tie in my pocket and thinking about my tie on her body, this feeling is quite strange and unprecedented.
Without paying attention, it seemed as if Akina Nakamori opened the door to a new world.
The signal for the official start of the show sounded.
Just now, people who had never met each other relied on intuition to exchange secret signals. At this moment, the signals matched. In an instant, the atmosphere in the auditorium was like one wave after another, one wave stronger than the other.
, and shoot towards the stage in front of you.
It seems that Akina Nakamori will not walk on stage according to the performance process later, but will be transported to the stage by this wave.
Iwahashi Shin took the skirt belt in his hand.
After thinking for a while, he discussed with the young female audience member sitting next to him, "I'm sorry, can I ask you a favor?"
At this time, the lights on the stage came on. The audience stood up and cheered.
…
The accompaniment band and harmony team were the first to come on stage to heat up the atmosphere, and the music started, which was the prelude to "TATTOO". Choosing this song at the beginning could easily arouse the enthusiasm in the audience.
After the song was released, Nakamori Akina's MINI skirt became a topic of conversation during the song promotion period. Hearing this prelude, Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly remembered that he had confirmed the scene of her song from the TV show in order to write a reply to her.
Akina Nakamori dancing in a MINI skirt is undoubtedly beautiful.
Intense music, in the auditorium, spontaneously clapped and beat the accompaniment band. The more they thought that the performance at this moment was preparing for the real protagonist to appear on the stage, the higher the audience's mood and the better the tacit understanding.
I just hope to use this cheer mixed with excitement and expectation to express my expectations and support for Akina Nakamori.
Shinichi Iwahashi also stood up and followed the audience's beat.
The girls who sang the harmonies also joined in. As soon as Iwahashi Shin heard the melody of this song, he thought of Nakamori Akina's luxurious shoulders, strong and powerful thin legs, and incredibly slender waist.
It's hard to say where these imaginations came from, but they came from the real feeling that Akina Nakamori felt warmly in his arms.
It still comes from my intuitive feelings as an audience member watching from a distance.
The audience suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers. Iwahashi Shinichi came to his senses and looked towards the stage.
Like a puppy running to the soft grass, Akina Nakamori rushed up happily, illuminated by the sun's rays and the stage light behind her.
The two thin legs are strong and strong, and the exposed shoulders and back glow with luxury.
There is also an incredibly slender waist, which is tied with a somewhat unique-looking belt - it is not a long length hanging around her side, but it is tied around her waist in a very unique and delicate way, as if it is an embellishment.
tie.
From where Iwahashi Shinichi was, he could clearly see everything on the stage.
Once on stage, Nakamori Akina's career switch was turned on, and she immediately entered the world of songs.
The moment he took the stage, his appearance of greeting the audience like a curious puppy disappeared, and was replaced by a stage star with outstanding grace and full aura.
However, while she was performing with a wild and unrestrained attitude, his tie was tied around her waist. This situation, in the eyes of Shinichi Iwahashi, had a special meaning.
His heart surged, and he felt that Akina Nakamori was beautiful like this.
On the stage, Akina Nakamori followed the dance with her body, but her eyes swept across the audience unhurriedly, with a sincerity that never left anyone behind and caught everyone present in her eyes.
When her eyes turned to a certain side, she could clearly feel that the enthusiasm in that area was even higher. When people on the stage looked at the audience, it was easy to give people the feeling that they were looking at themselves.
When I sit under the podium, I always feel like I am being stared at by the teacher on the podium.
Iwahashi Shinichi was also a performer on stage, so he knew that the eyes he looked over might not be directed at any one of them. But even so, when he felt her eyes turning this way, he still raised his right hand and waved it vigorously——
Before the performance officially started, he asked the young female audience member sitting next to him to help tie the skirt tie to his right hand.
"I'm sorry," he explained to the female audience, "my girlfriend is a loyal fan of Akina-san and was originally going to watch today's performance. But she happened to have work, so she asked me to come for her and bring her feelings with her...
…”
Who would have thought that this guy's girlfriend is actually waiting behind the stage to come on stage.
Iwahashi Shinichi opened his eyes and lied, and he didn't tie the skirt around his neck as Nakamori Akina said. He was somewhat unreasonable. He sounded particularly embarrassed when he said it.
"So that's it?" The female audience member covered her mouth and laughed.
No wonder this guy obviously got the ticket that other fans coveted, but he was sitting there looking like he wasn't in the best mood. It turned out that he was here for his girlfriend.
However, listening to his shy tone, the female audience felt that this young man who came for his girlfriend even though he was embarrassed and did what she asked was cute.
"No problem." She was very easy to talk to.
Not only that, while tying the skirt strap on Shin Iwahashi's hand, he was also very interested in the "girlfriend of Nakamori Akina-san's fan" that appeared in his words, "Akina-san has many female fans, and they are handsome.
And beautiful.”
"Indeed." Iwahashi Shinichi agreed.
Scanning the auditorium, he found that the number of female spectators was indeed considerable. He glanced around from where he was and found that there were even more female spectators than male spectators.
It's really amazing, this Taopusida.
…
One song ends, another one begins.
Akina Nakamori calmly switched emotions between different songs. While performing, she skillfully interacted with the audience. When she first debuted, when she stood on the stage, she didn’t know what people were looking at, but she always felt like she was in a daze.
Head duck.
But unknowingly, the dumb duck finally became more comfortable. Just like the transformation of an ugly duckling into a swan.
Before it was time to change into another outfit, the tie he took from Shinichi Iwahashi was still tied around his waist.
Before the performance officially started, when she changed into her performance clothes and picked up this tie, an idea came to her mind. She felt that tying the tie of her beloved around her waist was like evidence that she had been tamed by him.
Same.
After Nakamori Akina had that momentary association, she shook her head vigorously in dissatisfaction.
The costume designer next to her saw this and comforted her: "Don't worry, the hairstyle is firmly fixed and there will be no problems." He said, jokingly, "But it's best not to do tests before going on stage."
"ah."
The two people happened to have two different thoughts, and Nakamori Akina couldn't laugh or cry. When she turned her head, she saw her mother Chieko smiling, and saw her childish actions just now.
"Mother~" Akina Nakamori is so heroic on stage now. Who would have thought that before taking the stage, she would be puffing her cheeks and acting coquettishly towards her mother Chieko who was staying backstage.
After getting on stage and starting the performance, even Nakamori Akina herself completely forgot about anything other than the performance.
However, with Shinichi Iwahashi's tie tied around her waist, she did not forget that Shinichi Iwahashi was in the audience, in the seat she had personally prepared for him.
During the interlude of songs, she usually looks towards the audience and interacts with the audience. But this time she had a slightly different purpose.
Without much effort, I found Shinichi Iwahashi in no time.
The reason why he was so fast may be attributed to his raised hand and the strap floating in the wind on his wrist. Probably thinking that she had seen it, Shin Iwahashi raised his hand and waved towards the stage.
wave.
It's not used as a tie.
For a moment, Akina Nakamori had such an idea in her mind.
But she didn't have time to think too much. Just a moment later, she immediately put the matter aside. Every minute and every second on the stage has corresponding arrangements. If she loses her focus, the entire accompaniment team will follow.
In a hurry.
…
After singing two fast songs in a row, the atmosphere in the venue was naturally heated up by Akina Nakamori.
Compared with her overwhelming momentum when she appeared on stage, and the thousands of calls from the audience, there was a kind of unity with great power in numbers.
Perhaps because of this, once you start watching a concert, even people who have never met before will cooperate with each other and greet each other.
Iwahashi Shinichi came as an audience, and he unconsciously stood on the audience's side.
On the one hand, following the audience, they responded to her full momentum on the stage with this unanimous enthusiasm; on the other hand, they watched her performance through the eyes of the audience.
On the stage, Akina Nakamori walked to the side of the stage and took off the tie tied around her waist. She changed out of her carefully designed and extremely easy-to-change clothes three times.
The band team appropriately extended the intro of the next song to buy her time to change clothes. That's how it is when a solo singer. You can't rely on your teammates to help control the scene, you have to cooperate with the accompaniment band.
For this reason, singers cherish the tacit understanding with their accompaniment team and are willing to cooperate with a fixed accompanist team unless there are special circumstances.
Always in the excitement of a hot song, both the audience and the singer can't stand it. When the next song starts, the rhythm slows down appropriately, like an article slowly unfolding after an amazing start.
Nakamori Akina took off the tie tied around her waist, and Iwahashi Shinichi was unknowingly affected by her. He thought to himself, could it be that she said to use it at the beginning of the concert?
At the beginning, she first saw the tie taken from him, and Iwahashi Shinichi's thoughts were first caught in her hands.
The next song is "SOLITUDE".
She switches easily between the unrestrained singing and dancing and the steadyness of her eloquent talk. When the rhythm slows down, the audience seems to be pulled into the world she builds with her singing - but she also takes the opportunity to take a moment.
To breathe.
In her home stadium, she has the final say on everything on the stage, both on and off the stage. Shinichi Iwahashi felt sincerely.
But I saw that tie at the beginning, and now that it was taken off, Iwahashi Shinichi felt relieved and no longer kept paying attention to her slim waist with his own tie.
After temporarily forgetting that he was here for his girlfriend Akina Nakamori, Iwahashi Shinichi was attracted by the performance of singer Akina Nakamori on stage as a live audience.
It's the eighth year since his debut. Although his career is on the decline, his skills as a singer on stage are at their purest.
When Iwahashi Shinichi met Nakamori Akina, she had already started to transform from a traditional idol to a singer. I wonder what it was like for her to sing those old songs when she was taking the idol route.
But now, she is able to control every song with ease, whether it is a new song released in the past year or two, or an old song released when she was a chubby idol.
For those who have watched her along the way, she has grown from a yellow-haired girl to the invincible hexagonal warrior she is now. But for Shinichi Iwahashi, watching her anniversary performance, it can be said that it feels like looking at her face to face.
Show the feeling of your muscles.
She is so powerful on the stage, standing there, as if this stage exists because of her.
It’s such a strong sense of existence.
but……
After the next song after "SOLITUDE" was finished, the music paused. Akina Nakamori in the middle of the stage faced the audience with a smile, showing a small, somewhat shy smile, and greeted the audience.
While she was talking to the audience, she slowly looked around the concert venue in front of her.
The open-air auditorium was illuminated by the sun, causing her to subconsciously squint her eyes. When she could take a breather, her tense nerves relaxed slightly.
Akina Nakamori recalled where Shinichi Iwahashi was and looked over.
Standing there, Shinichi Iwahashi waved to the stage again. The skirt on his wrist fluttered with his movements.
