While queuing up to buy the album, Kamiya was not interested. He glanced at the two girls in front of him. Ryoko was beaming and was chatting and laughing with Daikoku Moki.
Not buying tickets for tonight did not affect their good mood at all. The two girls were full of expectations, but to be precise, they were looking forward to meeting after the performance.
Is that "Iwahashi-san" really worthy of their happiness?
Kamiya was a little unconvinced.
The last time he went to see ZARD perform, Liangzi met Mineda, the manager of an underground band he had met before, and invited him to join him, and the four of them went to find a place to drink.
After a few drinks, Liangzi got carried away and grabbed Fengdao asking questions. Fengdao was generous enough and answered all questions. After a few words, they knew that Fengdao was now working for ZARD's boss.
"That Iwahashi-san..."
When it comes to Iwahashi Shinichi, not only Ryoko, but also Daikuro Maki is very interested. Daikoku Maki doesn't easily show such interest in a person. After Ryoko found out, he vigorously got close to Mineshima.
"Will Iwahashi-san also go to the last scene?" Ryoko asked.
Mineshima was not sure at the time. Ryoko asked him for help and persuaded him to agree to take the three of them backstage if Iwahashi Shinichi came to see the last performance.
The day before the performance started, just when Ryoko thought there was no chance, Mineshima contacted her and said that he had asked Shinichi Iwahashi that he would also go to the performance that night.
So, the two parties agreed on the time and place to meet on Friday night.
…
Ryoko knew that Daikuro Moki had always wanted to debut as a professional singer since he came to Beijing, and secretly gathered the confidence of many companies. When he and Mineshima were drinking together that night, seeing how much she cared about Iwahashi Shinichi, he thought she wanted to give him
Iwahashi-san submitted his resume.
She had good intentions and wanted to create an opportunity for her friend to meet Shinichi Iwahashi.
Although Daikuro Maki's interest in the name Iwahashi Shinichi mostly came from other things. She still remembers the organizer of the music festival, the keyboardist of DREAMS E TRUE who performed at the music festival, and the band Tiankoku
The producers of ZARD are all "Iwabashi". And now, the producer of ZARD is still "Iwabashi".
Daikuro Moki was curious, wondering if these four "Iwahashi-san" were the same "Iwahashi-san".
Needless to say, the last show of ZARD's first round of tour was sold out. Tickets were so hard to come by that even with Liangzi's extraordinary powers, he couldn't even hope to get them.
However, even if they can't buy tickets, it doesn't stop them from coming over before the show starts.
The band's debut album was released just two days ago, and there was a sales stall at the venue.
Liangzi thought that she could go backstage to see the band in person, so she eagerly bought the album, "It would be best if I could get an autograph... This band will definitely become popular!"
To be honest, their current performance is already outstanding among the newcomers.
After buying the album, the three of them went to a pub near the venue to drink and kill time. When they entered the store, they found that almost all of the customers drinking here were ZARD fans. Like them, they bought the album, but they couldn't buy tickets.
We were all on our own. I don’t know who started the discussion with the boss, took ZARD’s new album, and put it in the record player in the store. When I opened the CD box, a leaflet floated out from inside.
It was the schedule of venues and times for ZARD's upcoming nationwide tour. Everyone cheered, and even Liangzi was inspired by the atmosphere. He opened the album he just bought and took out the leaflet inside to read it.
"Looking at this momentum, the new album will definitely sell well!" Liangzi said.
While talking, I was thinking about the opportunity to get ZARD's autograph soon, and my heart was racing.
…
Counting the time, the performance was almost over. Ryoko took Okuro Maki and the reluctant Kamiya - Ookuro Maki sensed that Kamiya was not very interested in meeting Iwahashi-san, so the three of them arrived to make an appointment.
The place to go is waiting for Fengdao.
Ryoko may not have been aware of Kamiya's vague rejection, but she pretended not to know.
When he came to see ZARD perform for the first time, Kamiya even boasted to two girls that he knew the musicians in the band. However, Kamiya didn't want to go backstage just because he still remembered how he almost broke his skin.
A while ago, when he was drinking with the recording studio musician he had met before who was affiliated with the production company BEING, he heard the other person mention that their president Nagato was planning to form a band with a female lead singer.
The musician, whose surname was Ikeda, told Kamiya that President Nagato was a big shot who had served as the production team for first-class bands like LOUDNESS and BOOWY, and he was very impressive.
Just hearing the names of these two bands, Kamiya immediately admired President Nagato, whom he had never met before. Ikeda mentioned that President Nagato was looking for a suitable female lead singer everywhere, and after drinking, both of them were very excited.
, Ikeda also asked Kamiya if he knew such a person.
Kamiya was in high spirits after drinking, and fell into the old habit of bragging again. He told Ikeda that he had a friend who was a good singer and could write lyrics and music by himself.
If the person who drank with Kamiya was Ryoko, hearing what he said would definitely be treated as bragging. But after Ikeda heard this, he took it to heart and went back later to mention it to President Nagato.
"Kamiya-kun, President Nagato wants a demo tape of Daikoku-chan's song, can you send it to him?" Kamiya remembered that Ikeda called him a few days ago to ask about Daikoku-chan.
Before he told Daikuro Moki about this, Ryoko had already agreed with Mineshima to meet Iwahashi Shinichi.
What's so good about Iwahashi-san... He just created a pop band. As expected, President Nagato of BEING is more powerful.
Even if Moki-chan were to sign a contract and debut, it would be better to choose President Nagato than Iwahashi, right?
If you can successfully recommend Moki-chan to President Nagato of BEING, you will be able to hold your head high in front of Ryoko, and you will no longer be regarded as a braggart.
Kamiya was in a mixed mood and was a little worried. What if Iwahashi chose Moki-chan on the spot tonight and Moki-chan also decided to follow that Iwahashi?
He really wanted to talk to Daikoku Moki before going to see Iwahashi Shinichi.
At this time——
"You guys have been waiting for a long time!" Fengdao came a step later and hurriedly came over.
Ryoko greeted Mineshima excitedly, and he led the three of them backstage.
…
Tonight, the last show of the band's first tour ends.
Before the start of the next round of tour, the band has to rest and rehearse the songs for the new album. Sachiko Kamaike, who serves as the lead singer, will have to report to the hospital regularly during the following period to take care of her throat.
In the last performance, Shinichi Iwahashi had no intention of finding fault with the band. Firstly, the band's quality was quite stable, and secondly, the next round of national tour was about to begin, so there was no need to pour cold water on them at the end.
Therefore, after arriving backstage, he only congratulated the band on their successful performance, and discussed the time and location of the celebration banquet with the band and accompanying staff.
While chatting here, I heard noises over there. The person coming over was Fengdao. Following him, there were three unfamiliar faces.
