When the music festival was held, Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa-chan agreed to hold an outdoor tour concert exclusively for DREAMS COME TRUE in the future.
The original agreement came true. Now, Miwa-chan has made a new agreement with him.
Faced with this dilemma, Shinichi Iwahashi thought about it a lot, and in order to fulfill the new agreement, he turned his attention to the already realized agreement, this outdoor tour with special meaning.
"The performances are only held in those five big cities, and the number of performances is small. In this way, it won't be a problem even if I follow him to perform." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Regarding this point, this tour has proven that as long as you bring a clerk, arrive on the day of the rehearsal, and return to Tokyo the night after the performance, nothing will be delayed.
Although the time is a little tight, after all, there are only a few performances, and it is only busy for a few days. It is not like a nationwide tour. Once it starts, there is nothing you can do except move from one place to the next.
Watanabe Manyumi listened to his words, thought about it, and hit the nail on the head, "Moreover, such a large-scale outdoor tour is not suitable to be held every year. It cannot be held in the same year as the theme tour."
As she said this, she was naturally already guessing what Shinichi Iwahashi's plan was.
"That's what happened." Shinichi Iwahashi smiled and said, "As expected of you." Just by listening to his words, Watanabe Wan Yumi could guess what he was thinking.
After being praised in this way, Watanabe Manyumi replied calmly, "I should return these words to you intact."
Such a large-scale outdoor tour requires a large number of people and is very expensive. It cannot be afforded independently without seeking sponsors. It is also summer, and it is not a small challenge for the audience to go and see it.
Furthermore, if two tours with different themes are held within a year, first of all, the schedule cannot be allocated, and the band must set aside at least half a year to produce the album to be released that year.
Secondly, if there are two tours with different themes in one year, but three people perform at the same time on one side and only two people perform on the other side, it will leave a bad impression on the audience.
If you want Giraffe Man to only appear when holding outdoor tours, no matter what, you cannot hold outdoor performances every year. In this way, Shinichi Iwahashi's pressure on concerts will be greatly reduced.
"In itself, outdoor tours emphasize the lively atmosphere of a garden party. If the giraffe man becomes a character who only appears during outdoor tours, we can also guide him to give this image a special meaning."
Iwahashi Shinichi confessed his plan to Watanabe Manyumi, "...it is not appropriate to directly ask Giraffe Man not to participate in the theme tour. Since he is not participating, it is better to take advantage of the situation and make Giraffe Man's non-participation in the theme tour a setting of the band.
"
"Have you been making such plans for a long time?"
After hearing this, Watanabe Manyumi was impressed, but at the same time she was curious whether she had thought of this step as early as the beginning when she decided to do an outdoor tour.
The reason why I think so is because since their debut, the band has never held a formal nationwide tour, excluding running performances during the promotional period. This outdoor tour is their first tour.
There has never been an official theme tour, and the audience has never seen a "theme tour" with all three people present.
This also provides more convenience for Shinichi Iwahashi to implement his "Giraffe Man (Outdoor Tour Limited) Plan". Because it has never happened before, it can become a setting of the band as he said.
"Take it one step at a time." Shinichi Iwahashi said vaguely.
Watanabe Wan Yumi disliked him, "The most unpleasant men are those who betray themselves."
"Then you have to be more tolerant." Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and paused, "But no matter what, we can't wait until it rains before buying an umbrella."
It's true that you take one step at a time, but the difference lies in whether Miwa-chan can accept the Giraffe Man's replacement.
The simplest way to deal with it is to find a substitute and stand on the stage in his place.
Because this time she would rather vacate the position of the giraffe man than agree to someone else replacing Shinichi Iwahashi. Yumi and Kazuo pierced the window paper by themselves, exposing her intentions and the problem that must be solved.
After fully understanding her thoughts, realizing her stubbornness and obsession with "three people's DREAMS COME TRUE", Shinichi Iwahashi could not bring up the matter of being a substitute again, let alone tell her that he was going to retreat behind the scenes and let the three of them.
Ren Xing's return to the duo - this is not the first duo between him and Miwa-chan.
For this reason, he chose from the two methods, the one that required layout, communication with Miwa-chan and Nakamura-san, and the need to take more risks.
"Looking like this, you're not someone who will get wet." Watanabe Wanyumi smiled and joked.
Iwahashi Shinichi also smiled, "I accept your good words."
"Don't worry, I'm very smart with my words." Watanabe Wan Yumi probably also breathed a sigh of relief and joked with him. But after the joke was over, she thought of something and suggested to him, "Tomorrow's performance, regardless of your physical recovery,
It’s better not to participate.”
"On the contrary." Shinichi Iwahashi objected, "As long as I feel that I can participate, I will definitely participate."
If he had not made this decision, he might not participate. Now that he has made this decision, in order to implement his plan more smoothly, and in order not to leave regrets on this first agreement, as long as he can play, he will not
absent.
…
After explaining the plan to Wanyumi Watanabe and putting down the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi felt that his head felt much refreshed.
It seems true that the more you use your brain, the more flexible it becomes. Although you have slept too much during the day and are worried about how to fall asleep afterward, the clearer your brain is, the more difficult it will be to fall asleep.
During this trip to Sapporo, he first fell ill in bed, and had to find a way to solve this big problem that had been delayed for a long time. To a certain extent, it was hard enough. Now he couldn't sleep, he felt bored, and wanted to take a good rest.
rest.
He was still lying on the bed, but he wanted to take a rest.
Shin Iwahashi stretched out his hand, took the phone over again, and made a call to Tokyo. People who came from the smart era are not very good at remembering phone numbers and the like. The first thing to remember is this series of numbers that need to be dialed from time to time.
.
However, I don’t know if I can get through at this time. In this era, every phone call is like guessing a prize. Until I get through, I don’t know whether the ticket contains “One more” or “Thank you for participating.”
”.
As Shinichi Iwahashi dialed the number, he first felt a sense of fun from this sense of anticipation.
"Moxi Moxi——"
When Akina Nakamori's voice came from the receiver, he couldn't help but smile.
"Good evening, Akina."
On the other end of the phone, Akina Nakamori's originally polite tone changed and became lively, "It's you."
"I'm in the hotel room." Shinichi Iwahashi told her.
Akina Nakamori said, "Yeah, um." Listening, "The performance is tomorrow." After thinking about it, "Hokkaido is Yoshida-san's hometown, right?"
"However, Yoshida-san's hometown is far away from Sapporo. In order to watch the band's performance, her family came to Sapporo in advance." Iwahashi Shinichi told her.
"It's great." Her tone was truly envious, "I can go back to my hometown to hold a concert."
Shinichi Iwahashi was curious, "Have you ever performed in Kiyose City?"
"Actually, I have performed." Akina Nakamori told him, "When I first debuted, I performed at Kiyose's high school festival. I sang two songs, and then said to the audience, 'Please support me,' and I immediately
He jumped off the stage and left."
"It sounds like I'm really in a hurry."
"Idols who have just debuted are so busy that they can't tell whether it's day or night, or whether today is one day or three days."
Iwahashi Shinichi heard this and deliberately teased her, "Today is the night of the 18th."
Akina Nakamori on the other end of the phone said with disgust, "This is too cold." How on earth did this guy manage to tell such a cold joke in a serious manner?
Compared to Shinichi Iwahashi's boring jokes, Akina Nakamori's dismissive attitude is funnier.
…
The next day, although Iwahashi Shinichi was not fully recovered, he did not have a fever and felt okay. In this way, he did not use the temporary refund point.
Everyone was happy with this result, and the staff breathed a sigh of relief because they did not have to bear the problems that might arise if the Giraffe Man was absent.
It was a false alarm, but Miwa-chan was the happiest. Yesterday's appearance of being at odds with her was long gone. She was so happy that she didn't forget to tell Shinichi Iwahashi that she would take care of him on stage.
As soon as he heard that he was being "taken care of" on stage, Iwahashi Shinichi broke into a cold sweat.
Being given special attention by this little fox is not something that makes people feel "happy! Happy! Liked!"
To be on the safe side, the director communicated with Shinichi Iwahashi and temporarily canceled several of the original interactions between the giraffe man and Miwa-chan with the audience, leaving him to stay in position playing his keyboard almost all the time except for the opening scene to conserve as much energy as possible.
Before the show started, the band was waiting in the lounge. Miwa-chan was in a subtle state, wanting to have fun but trying to restrain herself. She was sitting next to Shinichi Iwahashi, but she was playing GAMEBOY with Brother Nakamura.
Nintendo's new game console not only accompanies Miwa-chan from Fukuoka to Sapporo, but also gives her an outlet for her desire to have fun but work hard to control it.
Miwa-chan is very competitive when playing games, and Nakamura-chan never gives in. The two of them fought passionately, and when they got angry, they would call each other "Bagaya Road" and "Kanoya Road". Fortunately, there was no video recording at the Sapporo venue.
I won't record this scene. Iwahashi Shinichi thought nonsensically and glanced at Miwa-chan's game console display.
I'm going to lose again, I'm going to lose again...
It’s so fun and comfortable to watch the excitement.
All the tickets for the Sapporo show were sold out, and he was able to hold a very large concert in a sparsely populated place like Sapporo just after his debut. In line with the announcement from the agency, this matter has long been trumpeted.
At today's concert, there are Miwa-chan's parents and younger brother in the audience, her friends who stayed in Sapporo after graduation, audience members who flew from all over the country to watch the band's performance, and because another singer has appeared in Hokkaido.
And the proud Hokkaido people.
All kinds of emotions, all kinds of thoughts, all kinds of people, gathered in one place.
Then, cheering for the same band, applauding the same song, and being moved by the same song.
After the performance started, Miwa-chan kept her word. Iwahashi Shinichi stayed inside the circular stage and did not come out. She ran in a few more times and sang face to face with him, singing against his back and looking at her face.
With her smile, you know she is really happy.
Today, Miwa-chan is in particularly good condition. This is not only because she has returned to Sapporo, the place where her dream began, but also because Shinichi Iwahashi, who almost missed the stage, was able to successfully stand on the stage.
In her hometown in Hokkaido, there are her relatives and friends in the audience. They have heard her talk about her dream a long time ago. Some of them fully support her and believe in her, while others do not understand but support her.
Although she was ridiculed and ridiculed, because she had gentle family and friends, when she went to Tokyo and encountered obstacles everywhere, she recalled her hometown in Hokkaido and gained strength from it.
And Shinichi Iwahashi, who drew a rainbow in her heart and worked with her to realize her dream little by little. Now, he is also by her side.
Two parts of courage were injected into her body. Miwa-chan, who was in Sapporo, experienced unprecedented happiness and strength.
At this moment, she forgot about the problems that were put on the table yesterday, and did not think about the future after today. At this moment, she went all out. For herself and for everyone.
For Shinichi Iwahashi, for the dreams of three people to come true.
I had the idea of taking care of Shinichi Iwahashi in my heart. Even so, when the concert was over and leaving the venue, Miwa-chan herself was out of breath and her physical strength reached the limit while running around the venue. On the contrary, Iwahashi stayed on the inner stage to play the keyboard.
Shen Yi, he was able to give her a hand when he left the stage.
"Are you okay, Shinichi-kun?" she asked while being supported by Shinichi Iwahashi and walking backstage.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, my body is healed."
"That's good."
After receiving such an answer, the little fox was relieved. He was close to collapse, so he simply leaned on him and started to act like he couldn't walk anymore.
This is still closer to her style.
Shinichi Iwahashi supported her, and a strong staff member quickly came over, took Miwa-chan from his arms, and carried her into the lounge first.
…
The concert in Sapporo ended, Miwa-chan had a lot of fun on stage, and then went back to the hotel to rest. The Yoshida family's parents had said before that after the concert, they would go directly back to their hometown.
In this way, no one would disturb her, so she could go back and take a deep sleep.
Tomorrow morning, the team will set off back to Tokyo, leaving behind those responsible for the aftermath to dismantle the stage and transport it back to Tokyo. The next time will be the last two performances of the tour at Wangan Plaza.
Wangan Plaza, the place where Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa-chan made a promise to hold an outdoor tour in the future.
Iwahashi Shinichi was thinking about packing his things and getting ready to leave tomorrow, but suddenly he remembered that he fell ill as soon as he arrived in Sapporo and did not go shopping, so he did not bring a business trip gift to Nakamori Akina.
While I was thinking about this matter, the phone suddenly rang again. When I picked up, it was Watanabe Wanyumi.
