The last Saturday in August.
Starting early in the morning, not only the audience, but also reporters from the media rushed towards Wangan Plaza. Helicopters hovered over the venue to record the scene.
There is no shortage of live performances in Tokyo all year round, whether it is a small venue with hundreds or thousands of people, or the Tokyo Dome with a capacity of 55,000 people, but no performance has received as much attention as this one.
When the TV news showed the grand layout of the Wangan Plaza venue and the scenes of audiences gathering here in thousands of homes, it also brought to the general public the fact that "this is the era of the band".
Regardless of whether you pay attention to music or not, whether you like the band or not, everyone will receive this signal.
…
Before going out, put on a crisp shirt and trousers, tie your long hair into a high ponytail, and pick up a sun hat. The earlier autumn is, the more powerful the sun will be when it hits you.
He has been exercising all year round, and not only has he maintained a good figure, but also has a good mental outlook. When he wears a shirt, he looks quite elegant. However, his slightly old-school behavior seems to attract attention when he appears on an occasion like a music festival.
"I thought it was Mr. Oba."
After several high school students and boys walked by, they looked back. Then, this sentence came to her ears.
She was on TV when she first debuted, but after that she could only be seen in person at concerts. Such a singer may not even be recognized by her contemporaries, let alone teenage high school students.
Miyuki Nakajima guessed that "Teacher Oba" should be a single middle-aged woman. Maybe she teaches Chinese language, and in her private life outside of class, she probably smokes a cigarette, or after work
Have a drink afterwards.
Although here I secretly imagine a person with only a name, which seems a bit gossipy. But even Nakajima Miyuki is a gossip and a person who thinks about things. It's nothing special.
If he was really a serious person who didn't even joke, he wouldn't have the inspiration and spare time to write songs.
She exchanged her ticket and entered the music festival venue alone.
The record company that Miyuki Nakajima belongs to, Polygon, is still assisting Genzo in the live video recording of the music festival this year. The companies that have a cooperative relationship naturally received the reception tickets from there. Before she made the plan, the company
Bian first called her home and asked her if she was interested in going to the show.
When watching TV news, what you receive from the news is the signal that the band's era is coming, but if you stand in the venue in person, among the audience, what you feel is the real heat.
This year's music festival is like a ceremony for the change of generations.
Three years ago, Miyuki Nakajima watched the video of that music festival in the video room of Polygon. At that time, the world was still dominated by idols. As one of the men in black who played an important role in the prosperity of idols, Miyuki Nakajima
I have a particularly profound experience with the rise and prosperity of idols.
When her records couldn't be sold at all, Miyuki Nakajima was just a "man in black".
He made his debut in the 1970s, and became famous when his single "Farewell Song" defeated the popular female idol group Pinklady at the time. After that, while becoming popular as a singer-songwriter, he also provided music for many idols as a man in black.
Miyuki Nakajima is not only one of the many contributors to the prosperity of idols, but also one of the few singer-songwriters to break out of the idol era.
She also has a close relationship with the band. In other words, her student days were during an earlier wave of band craze. The relationship between the singer-songwriter and the band is also the same.
Just two years before naonのyaon was held, Miyuki Nakajima was in a new period of exploration in her creative career. She collaborated with Shohiro Kai, the soul of the rock band Kai Bo, and invited him to be her music producer.
After that, Naonのyaon was held, and she saw the video of the music festival in the video room of Bolijiayin. The music festival at that time, in terms of attention and scale, was of course far less than what it is today.
field.
However, it did start from the music festival three years ago. Band Paradise was broadcast, the band craze came, various charts began to be occupied by bands, the former ace idols were gradually squeezed out, and the idol era slowly came to an end.
If the music festival three years ago was the beginning, then this year's music festival is indeed a change of generations.
The person who promoted this generational change.
Iwahashi Shinichi.
Since the second half of last year, this name has become more and more famous as a music producer. With various deeds, he seems to be the first person among the new generation of people in black behind the scenes.
However, when she thought of this name, the first thing that came to Miyuki Nakajima's mind was the performance video of Dream T-shirt that she saw in the video room of Polygon.
In the video, the band's keyboard player has not yet put on the giraffe hood. He is a young man in a suit and ties.
Later, after knowing his identity, I recalled that he was wearing a suit on stage because he was busy as a staff member that day. After work, he went on stage to participate in performances.
But such a "coincidence" made Miyuki Nakajima remember the image of performing in a suit in her heart for a long time. Two years later, during the incident of "The Hearts", Shinichi Iwahashi appeared on a TV show for the first time.
When he showed up, Nakajima Miyuki matched him up with the young man in suits and ties in his memory.
The atmosphere at the scene was lively, with young people coming to invite friends, families in full force, and affectionate couples rushing to the stage they were interested in. Of course, there were also audience members like Miyuki Nakajima who came alone.
Later, there will be a performance by a band from China. The Chinese band sounds very strange, and it is hard to imagine what kind of performance it will be. Miyuki Nakajima is very interested and wants to see it.
There is no dream color T-shirt in this year's performance list.
It was expected that Dream Color T Rue would not participate. Not only because this is the hottest selling band now, but also for Miyuki Nakajima, the reason why this matter was expected was because at the beginning of this year, Dream Color T Breast E
The band's new structure was announced. The band's Giraffe Man will no longer participate in live concert performances and will only appear at the quadrennial large-scale outdoor concert tour.
Miyuki Nakajima, who wakes up early every morning and prepares breakfast with the sound of the morning news, did not miss hearing this news being widely announced on the TV news.
After this news, the identity of the band's keyboard player who always appeared on stage masked became even clearer in her eyes.
The people who are related to Dream are naturally very clear about the identity under the keyboard glove. However, somewhere in the entertainment industry, right here, she uses her own way, not too much, not too much.
Young Master, I just found out his identity.
There are two sides to the coin. The young man who put the band Dream Se T L e on the front line and pushed the band's craze to its current peak is now behind the scenes.
In the future, will there ever be a time when I perform on stage without wearing a headgear?
The band from China that appeared next was called "Breath".
Miyuki Nakajima was waiting for their performance. Three years ago, when the music festival was held for the first time, bands were invited from China to perform. Although she had not seen the last music festival, Miyuki Nakajima was videotaping it.
In the room, I picked out the bands I was interested in and watched them one by one.
This also includes the Chinese band whose performance was jerky that time, perhaps because it was put together temporarily.
But in that rawness, there was also the bravery and fearlessness of a newborn calf, as well as the love for music. Miyuki Nakajima remembered that rawness, and couldn't help but wonder, what kind of rock and roll fruit would be produced on that land?
It's their turn for the band called "Breathe" to appear.
The lead singer is a woman with a very neat manner, and she is accompanied by skilled male musicians. When the performance started, Miyuki Nakajima's first feeling was that the "jerkyness" was gone.
There was no hint of rawness in this band's performance. They were still brave and fearless, but that bravery was not like that of a newborn calf, but seemed to exist within the band and was integrated with them.
Even though she couldn't understand what the lyrics were about, the female lead's high-pitched voice, excellent singing, and the tacit cooperation between the members made it easy for Miyuki Nakajima to immerse herself in their music world. Compared to three years
Although we were struggling before, what appears on the stage now is undoubtedly a professional and high-level band.
Miyuki Nakajima couldn't help but feel grateful in her heart for this music festival that brought together musicians from all over the world.
…
On this day, Miyuki Nakajima, as an audience member, enjoyed a series of extremely high-level performances. The bands that appeared on the stage included mainstream debuts, some were still active as underground bands, some were local, and some were foreign, but there was no doubt about their quality.
.
Being able to gather so many outstanding musicians reflects how prosperous the current band craze is. At the same time, with such a huge reserve army, there is no need to worry about continuing this craze for a longer time.
During this period, Miyuki Nakajima, a big star, was not unrecognized.
However, she tentatively asked the audience, "Excuse me, is this Nakajima Miyuki-san?" Both parties were very aware that the real protagonist was not here.
When she was recognized, she smiled politely, shook hands gently with the other person, and then said goodbye tacitly.
In the evening, Miyuki Nakajima left the venue, satisfied that she had had a feast of music and food. While waiting for the traffic light, she turned her head and looked at the sidewalk.
All year round, you can see office workers in suits and ties every moment. Whether it is a working day or a day off, early in the morning or at night.
At this time, she remembered again the song that she had put away but had not yet been released.
"Boiling anger, boiling desire."
"Hold it in your arms, roll up your sleeves and hold it in your arms."
The rock and roll under the suit is not for others, but for yourself.
At this year's music festival, we can't see Dream's performance. In the future, I don't know if Iwahashi Shinichi will be able to see a performance without a headgear again. But this made Miyuki Nakajima understand why that year
, a young man in a suit and leather boots can give such a wonderful performance on the stage.
He is indeed wearing invisible shackles, being restrained by suits, and being restrained by various identities. It is precisely because he is restrained, but he is never willing to be restrained like this, that he is so wonderful.
show.
Hence the rise of the band craze and the appearance of the giraffe man wearing a hood.
Miyuki Nakajima felt that the reason why she saw Shinichi Iwahashi and thought of rock music and wrote such a song was not just because he wore a suit that day.
But it is true that no one wears a suit as appropriately as this young man.
This song should be released.
Miyuki Nakajima thought that she should release this song as a single, include it in the album, and sing it in concerts.
When Shinichi Iwahashi didn't know, I dedicated this song to him. When he didn't know, I dedicated a song to support people like him.
Not only do I dedicate it to Shinichi Iwahashi, but I also dedicate it to everyone. Whether they are wearing a suit or holding a baby's bottle.
Dedicate this song to everyone.
…
Joan Jett, the jewel in the crown, connects the people from the last music festival to this one. Her performance was during prime time the next day. Shinichi Iwahashi made an agreement with Akina Nakamori to go see the second music festival.
sky.
Akina Nakamori has extraordinary enthusiasm for watching Joan Jett perform. Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help laughing when he heard her say, "The first time I met you was at Joan Jett's concert."
This little thought of hers.
However, it's all laughter. Since he agreed to go see her together, he should be the one who should be laughed at. Maybe, when he agreed, Akina Nakamori also secretly laughed at him in her heart... Just treat it like this.
Already.
The two of them were going to watch a music festival, but they didn't report this to her manager, which saved her old manager from having to worry and worry.
To put it bluntly, dating at public expense is good, but free movement is even better.
When they stayed overnight at a hotel in Yokohama, the two of them discussed which day to go and decided what to wear that day.
This Akina Nakamori is superior, doing the same thing, deciding what shirt to wear and what watch to wear for Shinichi Iwahashi. I arrange two sentences for Shinichi Iwahashi, and then follow it up with a sentence about how he will dress up at that time. After talking about himself, he has to ask him one more question.
,"How about it?"
Iwahashi Shinichi lives under others, everything is easy to discuss, he allows her to plan and arrange things, and he just waits to do it when the time comes.
As for how Nakamori Akina should wear it, he had no opinion to offer, and everything was up to her. However, when arranging him, Nakamori Akina listened to what she said, and it really came down to herself, instead of listening to what Shinichi Iwahashi said.
Opinion.
It seems that for her, deciding what to wear on a date is quite a pleasure.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while and shook his head, "It will suit you no matter what you wear."
He told the truth, she was dressed beautifully every time he met her, let alone when he saw her on TV.
After being praised, Nakamori Akina beamed, like a child who couldn't get enough candy. Every time she got one from him, she happily put it in her mouth, letting the sweetness melt on her tongue.
But this was not enough. She was still a little unwilling to give up and pestered him to act coquettishly, "Shenyi, you should also think about it."
