Iwahashi Shinichi never imagined that she would fight back.
As long as Akina Nakamori didn't tell her, Shinichi Iwahashi wouldn't know that she went to another concert.
He asked Nakamori Akina around in circles on the phone, so much so that she suddenly wanted to go to the performance the next day to see which tie he had changed.
Whenever Taopusida comes up with a weird idea, his agent has to run errands behind him.
The night before the concert started, I called her and told her that I wanted to go see it. She said that she was a bit willful. However, the person who made the request was the biggest cash cow in the agency, so I had to do my best for her——
Of course, it’s not something that needs to be done “with all your might”.
After answering Akina Nakamori's impromptu call, Omoto called back to Kenyin. At this time, I still wanted to watch a performance, so the most appropriate way was to contact the band's office and ask if there were any tickets available.
…
On September 10th, the band’s final outdoor tour was held on this day.
Watanabe Manyumi was scheduled to go to today's final show, and had made time in her schedule for this purpose. She was the band's boss at the last show of the tour, so she had to go backstage to show up before the show started.
A large-scale concert was held for two consecutive days. Once the performance was over, everyone involved in the performance was basically exhausted to the limit. Therefore, after today's performance, there was only a dinner party, and the official celebration party was postponed for another week or two.
The on-site staff started working early in the morning, and before noon, the people participating in the performance arrived backstage, and then waited for the concert to start.
Tickets for the final show of a tour are often the most sought-after, even if there is advance notice that the show will be taped.
In the afternoon, the driver took her to Wangan Plaza.
I had known that the band was currently popular, but when I saw people gathering outside the venue and queuing up who knew how many hours in advance, I could intuitively understand how strong the appeal of the band was.
"It's more real when you see people gathered together." After entering the backstage of the concert and meeting Shinichi Iwahashi in the lounge, Watanabe Wan Yumi lamented what he had just seen.
"That's what happened." Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned to her casually, "When Yoshida and I formed a band, we were so happy for the audience of 250."
Two hundred and fifty people may not sound like a lot, but standing on the stage and looking at it, the real feeling of being supported is precious.
There are countless charms of live performances, but "the real feeling of being supported" must be among them.
Listening to Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Mayumi chatting about the time when they first formed a team, Miwa-chan next to him was eager to try. There are a lot of things about that time that he still remembered in his mind. But in front of Watanabe Mayumi, he didn't have the usual fun.
Energetic.
She stayed there honestly, not even playing the GAMEBOY game console - she was really a rat carrying a gun.
Shinichi Iwahashi accompanied Watanabe Mayumi out of the lounge and walked around the maze backstage. Some of the staff he met on the way knew Watanabe Mayumi and bowed to her.
"It's over today."
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "When the tour is over, the burden will be half lighter."
"The things you mentioned before will almost have to be brought up on the stage later." Staying backstage at the concert, I ended up talking about this without even realizing it.
"Yes." Shinichi Iwahashi agreed, "Before the tour starts next year."
Even if we don’t mention the theme tour of next year’s new album, this outdoor tour will be sponsored by Fujifilm, and one of the conditions is that the band will hold a reception concert for Fujifilm next year.
"After a while, I'll find a chance to talk."
Iwahashi Shinichi said, "To make such a change, not only do Yoshida-san and Nakamura-san need to agree, but we also need to communicate with the record company and obtain their consent."
After all these are taken care of, we will make this matter public through next year's theme tour and reception concert.
In addition, it is also necessary to decide how often outdoor concerts will be held.
If the interval is too short, it will be meaningless. Besides, the cost of outdoor tour is too high, and it is unaffordable to hold it once every year or two. Besides, it will also consume the audience's expectation for outdoor tour and enthusiasm for participation. But the interval cannot be too long.
, there is no way to make outdoor tours a signature of the band. Likewise, it will also consume the enthusiasm of the audience.
Iwahashi Shinichi was thinking about something, and Watanabe Manyumi was thinking about the same thing as him. However, she only stopped there and did not go any further.
Watanabe Manyumi took the initiative to bring up this matter, although she meant to urge it, but she knew better that this matter had to be solved by Iwahashi Shinichi himself.
With Miwa Yoshida's personality, only Iwahashi Shinichi can convince her.
Similarly, Iwahashi Shinichi himself came up with a rough countermeasure, but stopped there and didn’t think about it any more. This matter was a matter for the band as a whole. If he had considered all aspects in advance and then presented the plan to the two
When my teammates saw it, it was not good.
Both of them knew what they were talking about, so they stopped here.
Walking along the long and narrow passage, Watanabe Mayumi stopped, looked at the switch of the stage elevator, then raised her head and looked up.
"Wanyumi-san, do you want to try it?" Shinichi Iwahashi joked with her.
Watanabe Mayumi didn't answer, looking at the white paper posted next to the elevator switch, "This is where Nakamura-san comes on stage."
"If you had walked that way just now, that's where I would have appeared." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
"It's incredible." Watanabe Manyumi said.
The two people returned the same way.
"Did Shinichi-kun's family come to the concert?"
"After watching yesterday's performance, I went back to Shizuoka today." Shinichi Iwahashi said, casually complaining about his sister, "However, Asako was not interested at all and simply refused."
"But," he laughed at himself, "this is Chaozi's style."
Watanabe Manyumi smiled after hearing this. She and Asako had a little friendship in private, not a deep one, but they had a light relationship. Iwahashi Shinichi knew this, so he complained to her about his sister.
A thought came to her mind, and she remembered that Yanyin's manager called the office to ask for tickets for today's concert.
Normally this trivial thing wouldn't disturb her, but it wouldn't be surprising if it got into her ears.
I thought about getting the tickets a day in advance, it was quite a whim.
Fortunately, the office still had a few tickets in hand to deal with emergencies. At this time, it was too late to mail the tickets. After communicating on the phone, Nakamori Akina's assistant came over to run errands during the day and got the tickets.
Just like that, Watanabe Wan Yumi found out.
She found it strange that when Akina Nakamori wanted to watch the DREAMS COME TRUE concert, she didn't get the tickets from Shinichi Iwahashi. Instead, she went around and asked for the tickets through the office the day before the final show.
Now when I came over and saw Iwahashi Shinichi, Watanabe Wanyumi thought of this matter in her mind. After thinking about it for a while, I thought it was funny.
"Here," Shinichi Iwahashi stopped in front of another elevator, "Yoshida-san will go up from here later."
As he spoke, he turned his head and saw Watanabe Wanyumi smiling, and was a little curious: "Have you thought of something good?"
"I didn't expect the good thing." Watanabe Manyumi replied.
She paused and looked at Iwahashi Shinichi's clueless expression, finding it interesting, "I've thought of something fun."
"Something fun?"
Watanabe Manyumi stopped right there and said no more.
"..." Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless.
What a world that is not friendly enough to cats.
…
In the afternoon, Okada Yukiko and her friend from college, a girl named "Ayako", went to watch the DREAMS COME TRUE concert.
Yukiko Okada, who is passionate about detective novels, joined the school's mystery novel research club. People in the small group organized reading groups regularly, and also tried to write detective novels and create doujinshi.
In the small group, Okada Yukiko and Ayako have the best relationship. The two have compatible temperaments and often act together.
Ayako is a fan of DREAMS COME TRUE, and the concert in Tokyo was sold out. She originally thought she would not have the chance to come to the concert, but unexpectedly, Yukiko Okada invited her to go to the concert together.
"Yukiko was able to get the tickets. She is indeed a former popular idol." Ayako joked with her.
When Okada Yukiko retired, DREAMS COME TRUE had not yet debuted. No matter how much she thought about it, she could not have imagined that she had a personal relationship with the band. Ayako could only think that Okada Yukiko, who was still working in the recording studio after her retirement, was also related to the entertainment industry.
connect.
"It's just a coincidence."
Okada Yukiko smiled slightly, "It's a Staff-san who looked after me when I was an idol. Now he's in charge of DREAMS COME TRUE, so I entrusted him with it."
Today, when I came to watch the band's concert, Yukiko Okada felt a little bit like she was keeping a secret for Shinichi Iwahashi.
"Hey~" Ayako made a sound of sudden realization and thanked her sincerely: "What a good person."
Okada Yukiko nodded seriously, "Yes, he is a very good person."
The two girls wore giraffe antlers bought at nearby stalls on their heads and held fans with the band's tour logo printed on them. This look was normal in the crowded Wangan Plaza.
"The giraffe antlers that Yukiko wears are so suitable." Ayako has a delicate and quiet appearance, which is not consistent with her lively personality. She is not ordinary-looking, but she still can't be compared with the former popular idol.
"So cute!" Ayako thought it was pleasing to the eye and praised it from the bottom of her heart.
As a retired former popular idol, her status and appearance far beyond ordinary people sometimes make some pretty girls of her own age unwilling to be inseparable from her. Ayako, on the other hand, doesn't care at all.
"Yeah?"
After being praised as being suitable, Okada Yukiko was very happy. She raised her hand and touched the pair of giraffe antlers, showing a slightly innocent expression. She raised her head and looked at Ayako, "Ayako is too, very cute."
"Of course~" Ayako accepted the compliment calmly.
The two girls were talking and laughing as they prepared to check in for tickets.
"If you take the ticket for acquaintances, will you meet celebrities or something like that?" Ayako and Yukiko Okada whispered.
Two pairs of giraffe antlers touch each other gently.
"Maybe? However, with so many people, there are also so many entrances to the entrance." Yukiko Okada glanced at the sea of people.
When Okada Yukiko was an idol, she had never held such a large-scale concert, and she thought this scene was very impressive. It was not that she had never seen a super-large concert, but when she thought that the protagonist of this concert was Shinichi Iwahashi's band,
It feels very different.
Iwahashi-san is really awesome.
At this time, she heard Ayako screaming softly next to her. However, she reacted quickly and immediately covered her mouth.
Okada Yukiko didn't know what was going on, so she turned to look at her, "What's wrong? Ayako."
"Look over there!" Ayako pointed diagonally forward.
There was a young woman with ordinary clothes and old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.
"It's a bit like Akina-chan, right?" Ayako was quite excited.
Okada Yukiko's heart moved, and she looked in the direction of her finger. The distance was not close, and she couldn't see her face, and there was no way to verify it. But looking at her body shape, she looked somewhat similar to Nakamori Akina.
Akina-san also came to see the band's concert...?
But maybe it was because she was a related person, and the psychological implication of "possibly meeting a celebrity" made Ayako excited about people who looked similar to her.
Just as he was hesitating, diagonally ahead, next to the young woman, two young girls were chatting with her. Judging from the looks of the girls, it was obvious that they had met celebrities.
The young woman talking to the girl shook her head. Now, Okada Yukiko could see clearly.
It’s really Akina-san!
Okada Yukiko was in a happy mood. She really wanted to wave to Nakamori Akina and say hello loudly. If she had met her elsewhere, she would not have such an impulse. However, at the concert, she was so happy.
However, precisely because we were at a concert, if we really did this, we would definitely get into trouble.
She suppressed her excitement at meeting Akina Nakamori.
I couldn't go up to say hello immediately. In the process of suppressing my emotions, I had some room to think.
Akina-san also came to the concert, right? Iwahashi-san?
This thought came to Okada Yukiko's mind for a moment. It came naturally.
If they all got the tickets from Iwahashi-san, then it wouldn't be surprising that they would enter at the same entrance.
At this moment, Ayako let out a low-pitched scream again and pulled Okada Yukiko to look away, "The handsome guy over there seems to be Hiroshi Abe!"
Compared to Akina Nakamori, who was plainly dressed and blending in with the crowd, Hiroshi Abe, who stood out from the crowd, was more conspicuous.
"It is said that Abe-kun is 190 centimeters tall!" Ayako said enthusiastically, "So tall!"
It seems that the handsome actor-turned-model wins Ayako's heart more than the young woman who appears to be a Tao Pu star.
Just for a moment, when I looked back, Akina Nakamori had disappeared.
Ayako over there also stopped paying attention to the handsome actor, and the two girls continued to line up to enter. Ayako praised Abe Hiroshi enough, and then thought of the figure who seemed to be Moopu Shida just now, "I don't know if it is Akina-san himself."
It seems that I am still a little concerned about it.
"I don't know." Yukiko Okada replied.
As she spoke, she thought of something and suddenly smiled.
Ayako turned her head, looked at Okada Yukiko's playful lips, and suddenly said, "But the person next to me is indeed the idol Yukiko herself!"
Okada Yukiko reacted and made her laugh, "He's a former idol."
"Even so..."
Ayako looked at her former idol friend and said jokingly, "Maybe there is someone nearby who recognizes you."
After searching for celebrities for a long time, in fact, my friends traveling with me are also celebrities in the eyes of others.
