The tie she gave me, and the fancy clothes designed by Miwa Yoshida, which resembled the clothes of a circus performer, were subtly blended on Shinichi Iwahashi, who was wearing a giraffe hood, without any sense of inconsistency.
Is the end of fashion the aesthetic explosion?
Nakamori Akina looked at the giraffe man interacting with the audience. The more appropriate the tie she gave her seemed in this scene, the more entangled she became.
When I chose a tie for him, I felt confident that it would suit him...
Who would have thought that it would be "appropriate" in such a situation.
To be in a relationship with the capable president Sang, you really need to practice, practice, and practice again.
Nakamori Akina was encouraging herself when for a moment, she suddenly thought of the tie in Shinichi Iwahashi's wardrobe that was so good that even she was willing to be inferior to it.
When I see such a decent tie, I can also imagine the image of the person who gave it to me.
At this moment, overwhelming cheers erupted from the auditorium.
The mechanism of the circular stage opened, and Miwa Yoshida appeared on the elevator, rising higher and higher. The higher Wia lifted her up, the stronger the cheers from the audience became—
Akina Nakamori also stared at Miwa Yoshida who was flying into the air. She was no exception, wearing fancy clothes. Coupled with the stage formation that went from heaven to earth, it looked even more like a circus.
However, when Miwa Yoshida opens her mouth and sings the first line: "So happy! So happy! I love it so much!", her singing voice can make people ignore all the funnyness, and even feel that appearing on the stage in such a dress is a special performance.
It comes naturally.
Yoshida-san is really good at singing.
Akina Nakamori watched the band's performance in the audience, and was wrapped in the cheers of the audience. Unknowingly, she also blended in, gradually forgetting that she was here for Shinichi Iwahashi, as if she was also a supporter of the band, for DREAMS
COME TRUE comes.
Or it should be said that today's Shinichi Iwahashi originally belonged to DREAMS COME TRUE.
After the all-too-familiar "So happy! So happy! I love it so much!", three more fast songs were sung in succession. The giraffe man, who was carrying a shoulder-mounted keyboard, walked into the center of the circular stage after the opening song.
, stood in front of the keyboard that was vacated for him, and continued his performance.
Thanks to the "taster" sent by Shinichi Iwahashi, Akina Nakamori has listened to every song by the band. However, listening to the studio version feels completely different from the live performance now.
The live performance is better than the studio version.
The version on the record is still somewhat restrained, but in the concert, Miwa Yoshida showed her full self and deeply explored the potential of a song.
The charm of the band lies in the live performance, and this was fully reflected in the DREAMS COME TRUE concert.
As soon as Miwa Yoshida started singing, the cheers and eyes of the entire concert venue fell on her, including Akina Nakamori.
Could it be that Yoshida-san's "loved" aura has taken effect?
However, looking at the way she sang and listening to her voice, I felt that Miwa Yoshida deserves so much love.
…
The performance continued, and night gradually fell.
When Miwa Yoshida sang softly on the stage, "The blue shirt suits you very well~", Akina Nakamori then thought of Shinichi Iwahashi who wore the blue shirt she picked and went to Atami to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
I remembered him standing under the cherry blossom tree, smiling at the camera.
"Look here and smile, don't be shy~"
Miwa Yoshida ran to the inner circle stage and sang this line to the giraffe man. The giraffe man, whose attention had been on the keyboard, raised his head and looked at Miwa Yoshida through the hood.
Miwa Yoshida smiled and stretched out her hand, touched the giraffe man's hood, and rushed from the center of the stage to the flower arrangement, making enthusiastic noises wherever she passed.
The reason why she went to the giraffe man when singing this song was because she looked at Shinichi Iwahashi in a blue shirt and Miwa Yoshida wrote the song "Eyes to me". Akina Nakamori knows this very well.
.
But it was she who suggested Iwahashi Shinichi wear a blue shirt. Was it her suggestion that inspired Yoshida-san?
Such a wonderful sense of participation made Akina Nakamori feel a little envious of Miwa Yoshida who walked up to the giraffe man and interacted with him.
When Miwa Yoshida started singing "Future Vision II", Akina Nakamori thought that she heard this song for the first time on the radio, and took the initiative to call Shinichi Iwahashi to ask him about the song.
At that time, I had not yet started dating Iwahashi Shinichi, but it seemed natural to call him when I had questions.
How long have you liked him?
The reason I made up my mind to hold Shinichi Iwahashi's hand was because I saw Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa Yoshida holding hands. But before that, even earlier, they had already begun to unconsciously move closer to him.
Miwa Yoshida on the stage sang, "How long have the two of us spent together? We spent every day inadvertently and naturally."
The girl near Akina Nakamori closed her eyes and listened as if praying. But Akina Nakamori herself, in the singing of Miwa Yoshida, recalled the scenes of her and Shinichi Iwahashi's natural life since they met.
Even though I was standing alone in the audience, watching the concert, but because I had so many memories of DREAMS COME TRUE with Shinichi Iwahashi, I didn’t seem so lonely, and instead felt a certain kind of warmth.
Those moments since I got acquainted with Shinichi Iwahashi seem to have a subtle connection with DREAMS COME TRUE.
Akina Nakamori's mood follows the performance on the stage.
This is not only because she and Iwahashi Shinichi have too many memories related to DREAMS COME TRUE, but also because Yoshida Miwa's performance is so contagious that she fell into it without knowing it.
The long improvisation at the end of "Future Vision II" seems to be brewing, and it seems that something is about to burst out——
Only a sound of "Boom!" was heard, and large fireworks exploded over Wangan Plaza, lighting up the already falling night.
The accompaniment of musical instruments stopped, but the cheers from the audience filled the air like a mountain.
Nakamori Akina also raised her head, watching the fireworks that kept rising into the sky, lighting up the Wangan Plaza again and again, and setting off waves of cheers again and again.
"What a nice view!"
She heard the audience around her sighing and looked towards the main stage. Miwa Yoshida ran into the inner circle stage and reached out to pull the giraffe man standing in front of the keyboard.
The two people held hands together and walked out.
Nakamori Akina looked at it and smiled, then raised her head and cast her gaze towards the night sky where fireworks were constantly blooming.
Such a wonderful concert left no unnecessary thoughts in life.
…
The accompaniment band on the stage and the three members of the band also raised their heads and stared at the night sky with fireworks.
From Fukuoka to Tokyo, the various procedures of the tour are already very familiar, and facing the huge crowds of people at outdoor performances has become a natural thing. However, it seems that changing places will have a different feeling.
Back in Tokyo, at Wangan Plaza, where the seeds of the "outdoor tour" were sown, watching the fireworks that continued to soar into the sky, Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but think of the first time he watched the fireworks display after the performance here.
Probably thinking of the same thing, Miwa-chan, who was still on the center stage just now, stepped into the inner circle stage where he was and stretched out her hand towards him.
Iwahashi Shinichi reached out and took her hand.
Another round of fireworks burst into the sky, and a smile broke out on Miwa-chan's face. She grabbed Shinichi Iwahashi's hand, pulled him out of the inner circle stage, walked to the middle of the main stage, and waved to Brother Nakamura again.
Brother Nakamura came over and handed his hand to Miwa-chan.
The little fox leaned against Shinichi Iwahashi and held Brother Nakamura's hand.
More than half of the concert has passed, and Miwa-chan is running and jumping on the stage, and from time to time she performs a miraculous trick of getting into the next sentence without blushing or out of breath after bursting into flames. Such Miwa-chan is covered in sweat and her physical strength has been exhausted.
Most of it.
Brother Nakamura was in a similar situation. Only Iwahashi Shinichi, who was the least labor-intensive, still had room to let the little fox rest. The three of them used this posture to watch the fireworks display together, staring at the fireworks that continued to rise into the sky.
"It's about to begin."
When the fireworks show was about to end, Miwa-chan tilted her head and told Shinichi Iwahashi that it was about to start. This start refers to the next performance.
"Yeah." Iwahashi Shin nodded.
In fact, with the hood on, Miwa-chan couldn't hear it at all.
Fireworks are popping up one after another. Wangan Plaza has a great view and is a good place to hold a fireworks display. This was already clear to Shinichi Iwahashi two years ago when the music festival was held here.
Around his neck was a tie given by Akina Nakamori.
Today, before the concert started, Iwahashi Shinichi came backstage and took out his tie. Miwa-chan saw it and laughed, saying, "Shinichi-kun, this tie is very good!"
Judging from her tone, I really like this tie.
Unexpectedly, the fashion queen Akina Nakamori and the aesthetically stunning Yoshida Miwa would have such a "collaboration" one day.
I don’t know what Akina Nakamori in the audience would think when she saw him wearing this tie.
Shinichi Iwahashi was wearing the tie given by Akina Nakamori, and he remembered in his heart that his girlfriend Topo Star was in the audience at this moment, watching the same fireworks display with him.
The last round of fireworks rose and exploded in the night sky.
There was no further round, and there was no movement from the band on stage. The Wangan Plaza, which had been buzzing all night, was silent for a while.
Then, starting from the auditorium, there was a slight commotion.
On the stage, Miwa-chan let go of Brother Nakamura's hand and left the giraffe man. He looked left and right. The staff came over and handed them three microphones respectively.
The slight commotion in the audience, expressing doubt, immediately turned into a commotion of anticipation.
Next, Miwa-chan began to sing a cappella the song that made Shinichi Iwahashi determined to sell her singing voice and made Brother Nakamura reluctant to join the band because of poaching.
Her winning song "Once a Week Lover".
Miwa-chan sang a cappella, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura were responsible for contributing the harmonies that were stamped as "no singing talent".
…
"I won't take the initiative to call you~ I won't answer the phone right away when I hear it ringing~"
"I won't let you know I'm waiting~
The audience was quiet, listening to Yoshida Miwa's a cappella singing. Akina Nakamori was no exception. The a cappella singing resounded throughout Wangan Plaza, and it was also extremely clear, making one realize what kind of talent Yoshida Miwa has.
Although her singing skills are superb, she is not a singing machine without emotion. On the contrary, Miwa Yoshida can use her singing voice to draw the audience's hearts closer and into the world she builds with her singing.
Although the three people standing on the stage singing "Once a Weekly Lover" a cappella were still wearing aesthetically stunning costumes designed by Miwa Yoshida, as long as Miwa Yoshida opened her mouth to sing, it was enough to make people forget everything.
It became popular just over a year after its debut, has several best-selling songs, has appeared at the Red and White Song Festival, and now holds an outdoor concert that mobilizes hundreds of thousands of people... These achievements are enough to prove the strength of the band.
However, now when watching the band's concert and listening to Yoshida Miwa singing one song after another, Nakamori Akina can truly understand why Iwahashi Shinichi is willing to enter the entertainment industry for Yoshida Miwa, in order to promote her,
No matter how hard it is, I don’t feel any pain.
Akina Nakamori forgot that she was here for Shinichi Iwahashi, and didn't care about the interaction between the giraffe man and Miwa Yoshida on the stage. She didn't even remember that the tie tied around Shinichi Iwahashi's neck was a gift from her, as if it was originally an accessory to the performance costume.
I obviously don’t like this kind of large-scale outdoor concerts, but I devoted myself wholeheartedly to DREAMS COME TRUE.
It wasn't until the show ended, and the moving crowd began to leave. Only then did I realize in hindsight, I recalled my motivation for watching this concert, and the tie that didn't feel out of place at all.
The confusion that had just faded away came to mind again.
…
At the end of the performance, the audience began to leave the stage in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff. The people on the stage had already retreated backstage.
The number of people mobilized for a single performance in Tokyo was the largest on this tour. The large number of people coming to watch the performance meant that the flower arrangement on the stage was longer and more energy was consumed.
I didn't realize it when I was immersed in the performance. As soon as the performance ended, I barely managed to hold on for the curtain call. When I returned to the backstage, Mihe-chan's legs went weak and she almost fell over.
When she opened the Sapporo show, Miwa-chan thought she was very strong in physical strength. After the performance, she could still walk back to the lounge by herself. She was very proud of this and thought she no longer had to be carried back to the lounge by the staff.
As a result, as soon as I returned to Tokyo, I immediately returned to my daily routine. Seeing this, I still have to continue exercising.
Not only her, but Brother Nakamura, who was also running all over the venue, returned to the backstage this time and asked the staff to help him walk for a while.
Just like that, there is still the last concert waiting to continue tomorrow.
Therefore, after tonight's performance, everyone was very calm. They had no intention of gathering for dinner and drinking, and they didn't even think about going out for fun. They only planned to have a meal at a restaurant that had been booked in advance, and then go back to recharge——
After the final performance tomorrow, we can start having fun again.
Shinichi Iwahashi changed out of his performance clothes and took a shower in the shower room backstage to wash away the sweat from the entire concert.
Before leaving, he put away the tie he had brought and prepared to take it back.
