After the expansion, Wangan Plaza is more open and beautiful than when the music festival was held here two years ago.
Tokyo, which has been undergoing major renovations, has created such an excellent location for holding outdoor concerts. It is fully open and can accommodate 50,000 spectators.
The venue had just been renovated, and outdoor performance fanatic Takuro Yoshida held an eight-hour concert here.
Takuro Yoshida, the father of neo-folk music, was also a pioneer in outdoor concerts in Japan. In the earliest days of the Japanese music industry, there was no concept of "solo concerts", and Takuro Yoshida was one of the first musicians to devote himself to producing solo concerts.
one.
In the newly renovated venue, it would be a good start for Takuro Yoshida to open a game first - for good luck.
As soon as September enters, construction begins at Wangan Plaza to build the stage for the DREAMSCOMETRUE concert. After that, the band will hold outdoor performances here for two consecutive days.
The finale in Tokyo is extremely grand, with 40,000 people mobilized for a single performance, and 80,000 spectators will come for the band in two days.
For a band that has been making great progress all the way, the tickets for the Tokyo show were also sold out. Scalpers sold the tickets at a higher price, but people still paid for them. Even decades later, scalpers will still be a hard-to-eliminate existence, let alone now.
On Friday night, the band was scheduled to appear on TV Asahi's "MUSICSTATION". This was the band's first TV appearance since the tour began.
Of course, the purpose is to add fuel to the fire and promote the hot-selling singles and albums.
The band has a close relationship with TV Asahi. When participating in music programs, they also give priority to "MUSICSTATION". The live program has to be rehearsed a day in advance. Iwahashi Shinichi put on a giraffe hood after a long time and walked into the backstage of the television station.
During the tour, the sales of the single "Eyestome" exceeded the 900,000 mark, which is almost certain to be one step away from selling one million copies. And looking at this year's singles rankings, there is no single single so far.
I have won this one. From this point of view, this single will sell over one million copies before the annual chart is settled, and it will become the first million-dollar single in the 2000s. It is just around the corner.
The single is about to exceed one million, and the sales volume of the new album released before the start of the tour has steadily exceeded 700,000 copies. Looking at the sales momentum, it may even be better than this "Eyestome".
The band did not go to TV stations for this album at all, only advertising and radio promotions, but even so, with the popularity of "Eyestome", the album's sales were still very good. Shortly after the album was released, the band went on tour. During the tour, the band
Singing album songs at concerts also drives the audience who come to see the show to actively buy them.
With the previous works as a guarantee, the public has no doubt that DREAMSCOMETRUE's product must be a high-quality product. The band's focus on the overall production of the album also makes the album's quality and listenability first-class, which can withstand this kind of
trust.
The reduction of TV exposure during the tour is partly a strategy to ensure freshness, and partly because of the support of hit singles and the topicality of the tour, there is no need for the band to over-promote themselves.
Now, the tour is coming to an end, and it’s time to go on TV to promote the single and album. To be honest, the TV promotion that should have been placed when the album was first released was moved to around the end of the tour to expose it.
when the rate starts to decrease.
I will attend a music program once a day, and then there will be another music program next week after the Tokyo show.
The band is currently popular, has strong sales, and has also held large-scale tours that mobilized hundreds of thousands of people. No matter how you look at it, it is in good shape.
This time I came to participate in "MUSICSTATION" after a long time, and the program team gave it a full show. The original plan was to sing two songs in a row, the single "Eyestome" and an album song. However, after Shinichi Iwahashi received the script, he followed the program
The group negotiated and hoped that instead of singing the whole song, they would change the two-song series into a three-song medley, so that the advertisement would be sufficient.
Whoever is popular speaks louder. The band is gaining momentum this year, and the agency behind it has a good relationship with TV Asahi. Communication on this matter is not a problem at all. When one person talks about it, the other person responds enthusiastically immediately and gives the best treatment.
, the performances and appearances arranged afterwards are the finale.
For a band with a relatively new resume, this treatment is entirely due to their popularity, which is so popular that they can ignore their seniority, and so popular that the seniors who are on the same stage have nothing to say and are willing to smile and applaud them.
After not appearing on TV for several months, Miwa-chan's ability to respond to the host's questions has declined significantly. No one likes the giraffe man's hood when he wears it, so there is no need for him to talk to Tamori, so the burden of dialogue is completely thrown to Nakamura.
Brother, Miwa-chan only responds with "Hai, Hai" like a shy little girl when she is occasionally called upon.
In the recording studio, a rat carries a gun, in the studio, the tail is clamped. This is Miwa-chan.
"It's been a long time since you've been on TV, right?"
"It's been a while. Because I'm busy with a nationwide tour..." spokesman Nakamura explained. No matter what the strategy is, when facing the camera, there must be a reasonable reason.
"The band is really doing great this year. Now there are 'Dolicon' and 'Dolicon' everywhere." Tamori laughed.
Brother Nakamura had a business smile on his face and nodded politely to show his humility. Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa-chan also nodded. The three of them were like real-life versions of Flower Rock, even nodding frequently.
"The tour is about to reach its final show..."
"Yes, on the 9th and 10th of this month, at Wangan Plaza, thanks to the support of the audience." Brother Nakamura said so, Shinichi Iwahashi pulled a Latin American rice cake under the table, and the three of them bowed to the camera together to express their thanks.
The time limit for the live show was tight. When the other party raised his sign, Tamori, who was talking to Brother Nakamura, immediately changed the subject smoothly. The three of them got up and walked towards the stage——
"Then, please listen to the special skewer brought by DREAMSCOMETRUE."
As soon as the prelude started, Miwa-chan, who had been so honest just now, immediately shook off her fox tail and walked majestically on the stage. After the outdoor tour started, her experience in large-scale performances increased, and Miwa-chan became more comfortable on stage. As soon as the performance started
, as if the studio stage has been turned into a band concert stage.
First they started with "Eyestome", then they sang two songs from the album, and at the end of the performance, they ended with "Eyestome". It was obviously a medley of three songs put together, but it was done in one go, as if it should be like this.
In front of the TV, the audience watching the band's performance appreciated the charm of the band's live performance. The audience who had already booked tickets had high expectations for the upcoming outdoor tour. The audience who could not buy tickets began to feel regretful.
It would be a pity not to see such a band perform live. Listening to the interview and introduction just now, this outdoor tour was very exciting...
Video tapes will probably be released later, right?
After this episode of "MUSICSTATION" was broadcast, TV Asahi received countless calls from the long-lost performance. Some asked whether the band's tour video tapes would be released. They hoped to continue to see the band in the next episode of the program.
Appeared...
There are so many different things, everything is there.
Not only that, the episode of "MUSICSTATION" in which the band appeared also received the highest ratings of the show this year. It can be said that it is so popular that no one wants to miss it.
If possible, the "MUSICSTATION" program team would really like the band to appear again, and other TV stations would also like to invite this lucky band to participate in the program.
Unfortunately, the band will start preparing for the final show of the tour next week. The final outdoor concert in Tokyo can be regarded as the jewel in the crown of the band that has been successful for a year.
…
A-list celebrities are performing in Tokyo again. There is an endless stream of calls to the office to ask for tickets from their connections. In addition, because Fujifilm sponsored this tour, each concert has to set aside money.
Fujifilm Affiliate Vote.
I heard from the manager in charge of the band's affairs that there were 2,500 tickets given out to connections in a single show. In other words, the connections alone could fill a Hibiya Outdoor Guild Hall.
Each of the three members of the band can get twenty related tickets. Of course, they don't have to give away the tickets, but they can get twenty from the related tickets reserved by the office.
Brother Nakamura, who is from Tokyo, sent the tickets home. After all, he was on his own territory. His parents and close relatives would share one share, so it was easy to digest twenty tickets.
The distance between Shizuoka and Tokyo is about the same as the distance between Miwa-chan’s parents going to Sapporo to watch a concert. If Miwa-chan goes to Sapporo for a concert to return home in glory, then rounding off...
Shinichi Iwahashi, a native of Shizuoka, called his mother and asked her and his father if they wanted to come to Tokyo to watch the concert.
DREAMSCOMETRUE was the opportunity for him to decide to enter the industry. Now that the band has become popular and the goal of promoting Miwa-chan has been achieved, Iwahashi Shinichi is also happy that "the dream has come true".
If I hadn't met Miwa-chan, I wouldn't be on this path now.
Because of this, the band's success means a lot to him.
However, this kind of call must be made to the mother. If the call is made to the father who is best at choking people with seriousness, what if he receives a sentence such as "I'll see the video more clearly later" or "I can't see your face anyway".
That would be really embarrassing.
Masaaki Iwahashi may not necessarily look down on his own son, or look down on work in the entertainment industry, it’s just his personality.
"An outdoor concert?"
Fortunately, my mother, Chiyo Iwahashi, is very supportive.
"Well, it will be at Wangan Plaza on the 9th and 10th."
Iwahashi Shinichi asked her, "Does mother want to come with father? It's Saturday and Sunday."
"If you go to see it, will you still wear that deer hood?"
"It's a giraffe, not a deer." Shinichi Iwahashi explained to his mother.
They are giraffes running around the African continent, not deer biting people's butts in Nara.
"So, I can't see your face?"
Iwahashi Shinichi agreed with "Yeah, yeah", "Yes, you probably won't be able to hear my harmony at the scene..." All he could see was a giraffe man being dragged around by a little fox.
"However, in private, I can always see your face." Iwahashi Chiyo is quite optimistic.
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed when he heard this, "Yes, I won't wear a hood in private." He knew his mother would come, so he made plans for her, "If I come to Tokyo in advance, I can still play around in Tokyo now."
"Sounds pretty good."
"If you want to go to a beauty salon, I will help you make a reservation first."
"There's no point even going to a beauty salon before going to an outdoor concert." These words sound like Masaaki Iwahashi's words.
Iwahashi Shin nodded and changed the subject, "And where is my sister..."
If the Iwahashi parents come to Tokyo, I wonder if they will meet Asako and his wife.
There are also tickets for the concert. I wonder if Chaozi is interested in going to see it. However, based on his understanding of his sister, he will probably express no interest?
Well, Asako really has no interest in watching her younger brother pretend to be a giraffe man on stage.
However, my parents from my hometown were coming to Tokyo to watch a concert, and they agreed to have a meal together afterward.
Iwahashi Shinichi's family is simple, so he only reserved two tickets for his parents, and two more tickets for Yukiko Okada, who had been looking forward to seeing the show, so she could invite her friends to watch it together.
In addition, there are acquaintances who know that he is related to DREAMSCOMETRUE and come to ask for help. For example, his daughter wants to see it. Twenty tickets are available, which is quite easy to digest.
Of course, I also left one for my girlfriend.
Outdoor performances are not like indoor performances, where the seats are close to each other, and everyone is standing still as if watching a literary performance. There are standing seats, and the seats are scattered, so there is no need to call to book tickets.
The main reason is that the tickets are very popular. As soon as the tickets were opened, the number of ticket sales calls was overwhelming, and they were all sold out within an hour, setting a record. For celebrities, popularity is the most powerful thing.
One week before the performance started, Shinichi Iwahashi took some time off from his busy schedule to go to Nakamori Akina's place and get the tickets delivered to his door.
After accepting the ticket, my girlfriend praised me, "Why are you so awesome?"
If this sentence was not said by tugging at his ears, it would be more like a compliment.
Iwahashi Shinichi was held by Akina Nakamori's hands, one on the left and one on the right, gently holding her ears, one on the left and one on the right. He looked at her smiling face and couldn't move if he wanted to, so he had to glare at her.
Sister Nian Shang saw Mr. Nian Xia's deliberately pretending to be innocent. She leaned forward and touched his lips. She released her hand and touched his head, "It will be ready soon. Just wait patiently."
Iwahashi Shinichi lowered his gaze, and Nakamori Akina had already wiped her hands and started to wave the kitchen knife.
Come over and give me the tickets and grab a meal by the way.
The king of soft rice, Shinichi Iwahashi, has his abacus crackling.
The last time I went to see Nakamori Akina's concert, Iwahashi Shinichi gained a nanny. This time, there was nothing to give her. At the concert of 40,000 people, looking down from the stage, there was only a crowd of people.
"No matter how I dress up, Shinichi, you will definitely not be able to see me." Akina Nakamori knew it herself.
Shinichi Iwahashi reminded her, "Moreover, if you stand out too much in the audience, the people next to you won't know whether to look at the stage or around you."
"You don't have to ask, of course it's in the stands... That's for the audience who are there for you."
Before going to the concert, Akina Nakamori spoke for the audience who were not herself.
"That's right." Shin Iwahashi nodded, "Besides, you have to believe in the charm of the band."
Zhongsen Paper Tiger was still speaking for the audience in the first sentence, but then started to lie to Nianxiajun, "Yeah, the band is more charming."
