The song at the opening is the band's debut song "So Happy! So Happy! I Love It So Much!". This song also ranked first in the audience's vote.
The effect of using this song to open the show is self-evident, instantly mobilizing the atmosphere in the venue.
After collecting the votes from the audience and arranging the names, the order of song performance cannot be like announcing the ranking, singing one song after another according to the ranking.
Instead, based on the ranking of the song, we decide how to arrange it during the performance.
This kind of invitation to the audience to participate in voting for song selection, if you want to do it in the future, you have to make the audience feel "worth it". In the future, the band will release more and more songs, and the competition will become more and more fierce.
But competition alone is not enough. While competing, the audience must feel the difference in treatment of the selected songs when watching the performance.
…
At the beginning, sing a few songs that can easily arouse the atmosphere of the audience. At this stage, try to sing already released and familiar songs.
The venue is so hot that we can arrange to sing non-title songs from the new album.
Two weeks before the tour started, at the end of May, the band released a new album. This album and this tour were planned and carried out almost at the same time. It can be said that half of the tour is the theme performance of the new album.
It can also be said that in order to support this tour, we specially arranged to release the album during this period.
At the stage when they were just getting popular, people who were paying attention to the band were worried about having nowhere to spend money on them, and were eagerly looking forward to new works. As soon as the new album was released, it took the first place in the album charts that week. Within a week,
Actually, 230,000 copies were sold.
As soon as the results came out, Watanabe Wan Yumi and Sony arranged their own celebration parties.
Selling 230,000 copies in one week is already a good result that is second to none in the record industry. And after the sales, the record company received only a few negative reviews from consumers.
The reputation has not collapsed and it still maintains the usual favorable reviews, which means that this album will continue to sell for a long time.
U-MIZ and Sony, who signed the band, are happy with their profits. The industry regards this band as the "number one" at the moment. Those who want to invite the band to participate in the program, ask the band to invite songs, and want to use the songs from the band's new album
For commercial songs or theme songs, for those who want to discuss cooperation...everything is included.
However, all these were temporarily blocked by the agency on the grounds of preparation for the concert. The band had already decided that the premiere of the new album songs would be sung on the tour stage——
If you want to see the new songs live early, go buy the concert tickets!
When you start competing on TV to play songs, you have to wait at least until July, when the sales momentum of the album slows down, before arranging exposure.
The giraffe man used a shoulder-mounted keyboard and participated in the opening song "So happy! So happy! I love it so much!". After the next song started, he walked into the center of the circular stage and stood in front of the empty keyboard.
Certainly.
On the next stage, Miwa-chan and Nakamura-nii were responsible for running around.
As soon as one song ends, the next one picks up immediately.
Miwa-chan's physical ability is astonishing. She runs all over the place and seamlessly connects. When she sings, her breath is stable and her tune is precise. Her singing skills and physical ability are terrifyingly strong.
She has always been the kind of person who gets more and more energetic the more people come, but now, facing the 27,000 spectators who came for her, she seems to have endless energy.
While Iwahashi Shinichi was playing, he occasionally looked towards the audience, looking for Miwa-chan who was running around in the audience.
She ran down from the center stage and ran all the way along the flower path. Wherever she passed, the cheers from the audience were picked up by her like ocean waves——
Just like that, I ran to the end of the flower path, put the microphone to my mouth, and steadily picked up the next line of the song.
This magical skill undoubtedly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience again.
How crazy the lead singer is, how crazy the audience is - the cheers are overwhelming.
But with this kind of Miwa-chan and this kind of DREAMS COME TRUE, it makes people feel that it is worth shouting for this band.
The singer on stage gave her best, and the audience quickly found a tacit understanding with her.
When a happy song is sung, cheer loudly for her. When a ballad is sung, listen quietly. Those who come with their lovers clasp their fingers when listening to love songs.
The young viewers who came together wore the purchased peripherals on their bodies.
Thousands of cheers for DREAMS COME TRUE.
For 27,000 viewers, for more and more viewers, cheer up thousands of times.
…
During the concert, leave some time for the band to rest and change clothes.
Miwa-chan, who had been running wildly, returned to the main stage. The accompaniment stopped and she raised the microphone to her mouth. As soon as the stage fell silent, the sound of her running and breathing became clearer.
She turned around and began to introduce the accompanying band—
After introducing the supporting musicians and backing vocalists, Miwa-chan finally introduced BOLAN, "Arashi-kun, Aoki-kun, Gomi-san, the three of BOLAN~!"
As soon as she made a gesture, the three young men waved to the audience.
The audience was very supportive and applauded them.
Immediately, the accompaniment started, the three members of the band left the stage, and the protagonists on the stage suddenly changed into three young men from BOLAN. The audience knew that this was a band that was joining the show, and they cooperated very well to watch their performance.
Of the 27,000 spectators present, no one came here for BOLAN.
Accepting the kind encouragement from the audience, for the sake of DREAMS COME TRUE, Moritomo Rashi, Aoki Kazuyoshi, and Gomi Takaji, the three young people acted in a way that could neither let themselves fall behind nor hinder DREAMS COME TRUE.
With great momentum, he performed hard on the stage.
There was an energetic BOLAN on stage to support the performance. The three people who retreated backstage had no time to rest and went to change their clothes for the performance.
Iwahashi Shinichi was the easiest, Nakamura-san was reluctant. Miwa-chan, who had just controlled the whole scene, returned to the backstage, her energy dissipated, she was panting, and she was too tired to speak. She was left and right by two female staff members.
He carried me to the dressing room with his right arm.
Shinichi Iwahashi changed into one set of performance clothes that were aesthetically explosive, and then put on another set of performance clothes that were aesthetically explosive.
After the band debuted, the agency customized three identical giraffe headgear for him. They were made of special materials, which were lighter and less stuffy. Even so, it was better to use them with ice packs.
When changing his costume, he also changed into a new headgear and ice pack.
The previous BOLAN performance lasted about ten minutes. After changing clothes, the three of them still had some time to rest. They didn't have the chance just now, but now, seeing Shinichi Iwahashi, Miwa-chan immediately went to him.
There are so many things I want to say to him...but the show is only half over now, and it's not time to say them yet...
Miwa-chan then remained silent and used Iwahashi Shinichi as a human cushion, leaning against him.
Just after half of the ultra-intense performance, Miwa-chan was feeling hot all over. Iwahashi Shinichi asked her to lean against him, stretched out his hand, and touched her head.
come on.
Brother Nakamura next to him has long been used to it. He accepts this "subordinate" distance with peace of mind and doesn't take it seriously. He smiles and looks at BOLAN who is performing on the monitor, waiting for the time to appear again.
…
On the open-air stage, night has fallen.
At the end of BOLAN's performance, the three young men bowed to the audience again to express their gratitude to the audience's applause. Compared to the polite applause before the performance, there were a few more cheers for them in the applause after the performance.
Not many new bands get the chance to perform in front of 27,000 people, and BOALN obviously seized the opportunity.
Moritomo Rashi, who once stopped in the middle of a performance due to stage fright, after such a long period of training, was able to calmly perform in front of an audience that was not here for him.
At this point, there is no problem in making a debut.
The three members of BOLAN retreated to the inner circle of the stage, and at the same time, the three members of DREAMS COME TRUE returned to the stage. The first to appear in the audience's eyes was the band's giraffe man.
Shinichi Iwahashi stood in front of the keyboard and waved back and forth to the cheering audience.
Then there are Nakamura-san, and Miwa-chan who will definitely push the atmosphere to the top whenever he appears.
She stood in the middle of the stage, feeling the cheers from all directions, smiled like a little girl, and introduced again: "They are the three BOLAN people~"
The audience was extremely supportive and once again applauded and cheered for BOLAN.
Before the second half officially started, Miwa-chan spoke to the audience for the first time, "Thank you everyone for coming to DREAMS COME TRUE's concert today. I was originally worried that it would rain, but luckily it didn't..."
Speaking of the false alarm of rain, the audience applauded the band again like warriors who had defeated the rain clouds.
During the performance, he was at full throttle and spoke eloquently.
She was talking like a little girl sharing her good mood during an outing.
Seeing that she kept talking there, Shinichi Iwahashi made a mean gesture and made a gesture to the musicians. They were all acquaintances who had rehearsed together and had a tacit understanding, and everyone immediately understood what he meant.
Ignoring Miwa-chan who was still silent, the drummer suddenly started counting the beats, and the guitar also joined in——
The accompaniment band suddenly made a "rebellion", which startled Miwa-chan, and she quickly turned around to see what was going on.
The moment she turned back, the accompaniment stopped immediately, and the musicians who were cooperating with Shinichi Iwahashi's evil act smiled at her. Only the culprit, whose expression could not be seen with the hood on.
Realizing that the musicians were playing tricks on her, Miwa-chan laughed on the stage, and the audience also burst into laughter.
Iwahashi Shinichi signaled to Miwa-chan, and Brother Nakamura immediately understood and urged on his behalf: "Yoshida-san, you talk too much."
It was okay not to remind him, but he said it and made the audience laugh again.
Although there are "following others" scenes from time to time, the three members of the band still have a 100% tacit understanding.
The interlude ends, the drummer counts the beats again, and the second half officially begins.
The first song of the second half is "Future Vision II".
The moment the prelude started, there was a burst of cheers from the audience as they heard the song they wanted to hear - this song was voted third by the audience.
But immediately, the audience suddenly became quiet again, waiting for Miwa-chan to sing the first line——
"It's already the third spring since graduation."
As soon as the official performance began, the little fox backstage was so tired that he leaned on Shinichi Iwahashi. His fatigue disappeared immediately, and he could only show his full energy as in the first half.
She not only has the enthusiasm to ignite the atmosphere of the whole room, but at the same time, she can also be immersed in a quiet and lyrical warm atmosphere.
"No matter how many years pass, I can maintain this feeling and it will not change."
Because I continue to live with you, the picture of the future I have always drawn in my mind——
"Look, it's slowly coming true as you imagined."
One song after another, new songs released, old songs that have been released for a long time.
Except for the unstoppable LIVE TALK before the start of the second half, Miwa-chan did not chat with the audience anymore, but just went all out to carry on the performance.
It's past seven o'clock and it's night.
Before the end, the closing song is "Eyes to me".
It's a brisk song, and Miwa-chan is also relaxed, walking up and down the flower path with small steps. The chorus is deliberately prolonged, and every time Miwa-chan sings, "Look over here and smile, don't be shy, Smile, Smile
,Smile~", he grinned at the audience and waved to interact.
Brother Nakamura smiled into an emoticon and waved to the audience.
The giraffe man wearing a hood also took time to wave to the audience.
I sang this song easily, and when the song gradually came to an end, it almost seamlessly connected with the accompaniment——
With a sound of "Boom!", the fireworks soared into the sky and lit up the entire square.
The audience burst into overwhelming cheers. At the end of the concert, fireworks brought the atmosphere to another peak.
Fireworks keep rising into the sky and blooming in the sky.
Nakamura-san and Miwa-chan, the two people who were originally interacting with the audience at each end of the flower path, looked up at the fireworks and watched their steps as they walked back to the main stage.
She stood opposite the giraffe man, face to face with him.
The two looked at each other quietly. After two hours of high-intensity performance, looking at her face from a close distance, she was full of fatigue. However, such a bright smile dispelled this fatigue, and she only looked cheerful.
with sunshine.
Miwa-chan stretched out her hand and touched the giraffe man's hood, looking at him with a smile on her face.
Shinichi Iwahashi also reached out and touched the little fox's head.
Fireworks soared into the sky again. Miwa-chan passed her hand to Iwahashi Shinichi across the electronic keyboard and said loudly: "Look!" There was no microphone to transmit the sound. This "Look!" only sounded in the middle of the stage.
.
The people in the accompanist group next to her all laughed when they heard her childish cheers.
Iwahashi Shinichi stretched out his hand and took it. The two of them turned their heads together and looked at the night sky illuminated by fireworks.
"DREAMS COME TRUE!"
Miwa-chan held Iwahashi Shinichi's hand tightly, and used this force to make him turn his head and look at her again. Although she didn't know the expression under the giraffe hood, she was smiling.
"Thank you!" she said to Shinichi Iwahashi.
The wish I made at the beginning has come true!
After saying this, Miwa-chan let go of his hand, reached out and touched his hood, and ran away from him before the plush feeling completely disappeared from her hand.
She went to Brother Nakamura's place again and had a happy interaction with him.
There are 27,000 spectators here tonight, the three members of the band, the accompaniment team, the dance team, and thousands of staff in the venue.
Even the other people who are not in the venue are looking at the sky above this square.
Together, everyone stared at the large fireworks that continued to bloom in the sky.
