Akina Nakamori put the giraffe antlers on her head and waited for the performance to start.
Yesterday, she was dressed casually. But today, she was not so old-fashioned, and she no longer wore those old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses——
Like yesterday, she came to the concert alone. But this time, she was in high spirits, and the loneliness of attending the concert alone was gone.
Hiding the secret from Shinichi Iwahashi and not letting him know about it, then killing him with a single shot. This "surprise attack" was like playing hide-and-seek with him, playing a little prank on him.
As long as he thinks this way, Nakamori Akina will inevitably feel a little complacent, as if she is teasing Shinichi Iwahashi.
The performance hasn't started yet, so I'm thinking about it in my mind. After I see him tonight, I will tell him about this... tell him and then what?
It seemed like there was nothing that could shock Shinichi Iwahashi.
However, it would be interesting to tell him and see his reaction. She mentally found a reason for her sudden idea. Besides, she also wanted to see the new tie he changed today.
On a whim, I watched Akina Nakamori play it over and over again, staring at the stage before the opening.
…
Backstage at the final show of the tour, the atmosphere was surprisingly less tense than the previous shows. Everyone participating in the performance did not have the seriousness of "going all out at the end". To be honest, it was more relaxed.
’s, “enjoy until the end” briskness.
The reason for this has a lot to do with the band's style of enjoying stage performances.
Watanabe Manyumi came over and stayed backstage for a while. After the show started, she left the backstage and went to the front. After sending the office boss away, Iwahashi Shinichi went back again to make preparations before the show started.
Two of the ties given by Akina Nakamori couldn't be tied normally. Iwahashi Shinichi used one yesterday and brought another one over today. I changed into my performance clothes in the dressing room and tied the tie to see if it looked good.
This performance will be recorded. When he came to Wangan Plaza today, the equipment in the venue was already in place. Before the show started, a reminder that today's performance would be recorded live was posted outside the venue.
Even if the audience has been informed when the tickets are issued, this item cannot be omitted.
After the tour is over, the release of the video tape will be put on the agenda, at the earliest by the end of the year and at the latest by spring next year. By then, the video tape will be given to Akina Nakamori, so that she can still see how the tie he gave her looks like.
Shinichi Iwahashi secretly poked his head inwardly, thinking about seeing the reaction of that Tao Pu Shida later——
Before that, Miwa-chan caught him and stared at her again and again, "Shinichi-kun changed his tie again?"
Iwahashi Shinichi said "hmm" and looked at this guy who acted honestly when the overbearing president was present, but showed his true colors as soon as the overbearing president left.
"This one is pretty good too."
Meihe-chan looked at it carefully and praised it sincerely, "You have quite good taste!"
"..."
To a certain extent, the phrase "good vision" is not wrong.
Miwa-chan was eager to give it a try, "When I hold a concert next time and design costumes, I will also remember to take the tie into consideration." She sounded like she had forgotten something important.
Iwahashi Shinichi heard her mention the next concert and said nothing.
Miwa-chan looked at his face and unexpectedly stopped talking to him about fried soybeans. She stopped talking and said nothing more.
At the pep rally at the end of the tour, Yumiwa-chan gave the speech. She was not very good at doing this kind of thing, and she was usually very carefree. But when it came to such an occasion, she became coy and coy, like a female student who was coaxed and pushed to the podium.
.
Everyone held hands and formed a circle, waiting for her to speak.
Next to it, a camera was waiting to capture the scene before the band took the stage. As soon as the camera was turned on, Shinichi Iwahashi put on the giraffe headgear.
"That~"
Miwa-chan spoke softly, but luckily she had a loudspeaker in her hand. She spoke fast and with a soft final tone, finishing the words in one breath: "Today's performance is the last one of the tour. I hope everyone can cheer together. Good luck.
Successfully completed!”
After she finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the staff took the loudspeaker from her hand. Miwa-chan used her free hand to hold the hand of Brother Nakamura who was standing next to her.
As for the other hand - her right hand has been holding the giraffe man's hand since just now.
…
After the mobilization meeting, Masato Nakamura and Giraffe Man ran to their respective places to take the stage under the guidance of the staff. The place where Miwa-chan appeared was nearby, and she followed the staff and walked to the elevator.
However, although she didn't have to move too far, she still had to fly into the air afterwards. Before the show started, several staff members came over to prepare safety equipment for hanging wires.
She was surrounded by people and couldn't move. She looked around a little bored.
Next to the elevator, there is a sign with her name: Miwa Yoshida.
From the first show in Fukuoka to the last show in Tokyo.
After the next show is over, this tour will be completely over. What will I do after that? I need to go to the hospital to check my physical condition and take care of my throat.
Then I went to a music show, and I heard from Shinichi-kun that it was to continue promoting the single and album.
If they work hard, the band may have a million singles and a million albums this year.
How many are there in one million?
There were 40,000 people at today's concert, and 80,000 people over the two days. Adding in the seven performances in four other cities, approximately 300,000 people attended the band's concert.
In her mind, the cities she had walked through and the seas of people she had seen were still vivid in her mind.
It would take three times more than those people... to have one million.
The promotion period is over, and then they will go into the recording studio to produce new songs, and a new single will be released at the end of the year. As for the new album, it will not be released until next year. However, the band has always produced albums and singles at the same time, and soon, Shen Yijun will
I urged her to do her homework and prepare an album-sized new song.
Brother Nakamura, out of the dark heart of a dead Taoist friend and a poor Taoist, calmly passed on the task of supervising her homework to Iwahashi Shinichi.
The thought of releasing a new album makes Miwa-chan very motivated.
To release a new album, there must be a theme tour. She wants to perform more, hold more concerts, and meet more fans. Not only such large-scale outdoor performances, but also smaller ones.
In addition to big cities, you must also visit small cities.
When I first arrived in Tokyo, I was ridiculed by that charlatan. Later, I formed a band with Shinichi Iwahashi for a performance with 250 people.
Now, thinking of 300,000 people coming to watch their performance, and thinking that one million people will buy the band's singles and albums, Miwa-chan feels warm in her heart. She hopes that the audience who likes the band will have the opportunity to see the band.
live performance.
However, I have to hold a lot of concerts and travel all over Japan and even the world...
During this tour, Miwa-chan saw in her eyes how busy Iwahashi Shinichi was, multitasking. She saw him answering phone calls non-stop, and saw the clerk following him being ordered around.
Until that time when I went to Sapporo, Shinichi Iwahashi fell ill and almost missed the performance. Although on the day of the performance, Shinichi Iwahashi recovered from his illness and successfully stepped onto the stage, the decision was made at that time to vacate his seat.
The mood always stayed in her heart.
That was the first time that I considered the situation "KIRIN-kun is not here".
I kept telling Shinichi Iwahashi that the three of us would sing together as DREAMS COME TRUE until we die. It’s not like Miwa-chan is not pretending to be stupid.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi fell ill because of her, so she could no longer pretend to know nothing as before.
The concert that KIRIN-kun was absent from.
In the past, she would not even assume this idea. But once she really thought about it seriously, she could no longer stop this idea from appearing in her mind from time to time.
For example, when I saw Shinichi Iwahashi very busy, or when I saw him discussing business with Watanabe-san from the office.
And when she herself thinks about having more concerts and going to more places...
Two years ago, at Wangan Plaza, Shinichi Iwahashi promised her that he would let the band hold an outdoor concert with a fireworks display. Because they are DREAMS COME TRUE, their wish will definitely come true.
What made her dream come true was not the name of the band, but Shinichi Iwahashi who pushed the band forward.
At this time, a burst of cheers erupted from the concert venue outside. Not long after, there was another burst of cheers of similar magnitude. It was Nakamura-nii and Shinichi Iwahashi who appeared on the stage.
"Yoshida-san, get ready." The staff reminded her.
Miwa-chan recovered her thoughts, took the microphone handed by the staff, and put her hand into the lanyard of the microphone.
She will be flying into the air later, and if she slips and drops the microphone, it will be a stage accident. To prevent accidents, the microphones prepared for her for this tour are specially equipped with lanyards.
She listened to the cheers coming from the front to the backstage, like a student before a big exam. Even though she was a top student, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"It's about to begin, Yoshida-san!"
The staff member who was pressed for time said one last time and pulled the switch of the elevator.
She slowly ascended the stage. The moment she appeared, the warmest cheers from the audience gathered towards her. Miwa-chan felt the waves of noise directed at her, and her eyes swept across the sea of people in the venue.
Then, she landed on the stage flower path facing her, and the giraffe man was walking towards her.
Now, she is in the place where Iwahashi Shinichi promised to make her dream come true.
Iwahashi Shinichi did his best for her, and she also wanted to help Iwahashi Shinichi and protect his dream. The more she experienced the joy of her dream coming true, the more she hoped that he could do the same.
It was almost mid-September and the sun was about to set. The wind blowing over her was a bit chilly. But the sound from the audience who shouted her name in unison seemed to dispel the chill and made her whole body feel warm.
.
She wanted to sing for the audience. She was determined in her heart that she could never not hold a concert, and she could never just stay in the recording studio.
But, in that case...
Miwa-chan looked down at the crowded auditorium and took a look at the giraffe man who was playing for her.
The cheers from the audience became more and more enthusiastic. Brother Nakamura and Shinichi Iwahashi had already walked to her feet, just waiting for her to sing the first line of the opening line and the concert would officially begin.
Iwahashi Shinichi raised his head and looked up at her.
I also want to make Shen Yijun’s dream come true, and I want him to have wings to fly, even for this...
"good……"
The moment she raised the microphone to her mouth, Miwa-chan's eyes soured.
"So happy! So happy! I love it so much!" She blinked her wet eyelids, holding back the tears that were about to burst out.
But even so, he can still control his voice and sing this line perfectly without going out of tune at all.
…
For such a talented singer, it's no wonder why Iwahashi Shinichi is willing to do whatever he can to promote her.
Watanabe Manyumi was in the audience, watching Miwa Yoshida's performance.
Performing with the mood of enjoying it to the end, not only did the people participating in the performance not relax, but it made the entire concert not only top-notch but also had a great atmosphere.
Watanabe Mayumi was obviously the boss who came to see how the band was performing, but she unknowingly immersed herself in the atmosphere of the scene and became a spectator without any distractions.
Singing one song after another, Miwa Yoshida was full of energy and in excellent condition. It was completely impossible to tell that she had held a concert of the same intensity yesterday. Seeing this, it was really admirable.
Shinichi Iwahashi, on the other hand, entered the inner circle stage after the opening ceremony, and it looked like he was relaxed.
Watanabe Manyumi was used to seeing him in formal attire, but once in a while she saw him in strange clothes, and the audience couldn't help laughing.
If Iwahashi Shinichi had already changed his clothes when she went backstage just now, that would be a mockery of him.
Watanabe Manyumi's eyes paused for a moment on the flamboyant tie worn by Shinichi Iwahashi, imagining what he would look like if he wore his usual attire with a tie like that.
The reason why I have such room for imagination is because fireworks are constantly rising in the night sky.
For the mid-time fireworks display, some of the audience members who came to watch the show even wore yukata and had Uchiwa fans with the band's tour logo printed on them at their waists, waiting for this autumn fireworks display.
Watanabe Manyumi was not that interested in the fireworks show and just watched it as if it was intermission.
The people on the stage also looked up to the sky.
Watanabe Manyumi looked at the stage, and Yoshida Miwa was leaning on Iwahashi Shinichi's shoulder, standing with him. She sang and danced all night, and people went crazy. But now, she was obediently leaning against Iwahashi Shinichi, sitting next to him.
Quietly watching the fireworks blooming in the night sky.
Such two people...
Watanabe Manyumi saw this scene in her eyes and thought that Shinichi Iwahashi would be the one to speak out later, and she also understood his difficulty.
Too close a connection, if not handled properly, will ruin the band.
Watanabe Manyumi looked away and continued to watch the fireworks rising into the sky. While watching, she hoped in her heart that it would be resolved smoothly.
…
After the performance ended, the staff responsible for guiding the audience to exit took action in the venue, and the audience exited in an orderly manner. Watanabe Manyumi stood there and waited patiently.
She subconsciously looked around to pass the time, and suddenly, her eyes fixed on a certain place.
A young woman wearing giraffe horns on her head.
The related person ticket that Nakamori Akina's assistant went to the office to get today is from the same source as the related person ticket that Watanabe Wanyumi used today.
