991. Three Gifts

Miwa-chan has an unparalleled talent when it comes to turning people around.

Iwahashi Shinichi knew very well that this little fox would get braver as he fought, so he refused to answer the question, "Then, please prepare well for the three Christmas gifts this year."

Miwa-chan pretended, with a look of regret on her face, "I didn't expect Shinichi-kun to be so greedy." She said this, but judging from her well-rounded demeanor, this probably played right into her mind.

Iwahashi Shinichi returned her words unchanged, "Didn't you say that yourself?" As he said these words, a sense of depravity suddenly came over his heart. He wanted to let this little fox take him with him, and if he wasn't careful, he would slip.

Entered into a situation where primary school students are quarreling.

His teeth became sour and he decided to shut up.

The band manager who was in the same room with these two people listened to the free cross talk and turned his back and snickered. Brother Nakamura came back and handed over the oolong tea ordered by these two people, "Please."

.”

Iwahashi Shinichi quickly took it and said, "Thank you very much."

Miwa-chan took two sips of tea, tightened the bottle cap, and softly hummed the tune of "Let's Dance Together" to herself, imitating hand dance movements with her hands. However, she did not pull her two Zeng Yi to practice together.

It seems that dance practice classes are still voluntary.

The band smoothly transitioned from a three-person system to a two-person system. Giraffe Man did not quit the band, and the fans did not express dissatisfaction with the change. Iwahashi Shinichi had everything arranged.

He who is so meticulous in his work is better than his hot-headed self who wants to drive him out of the team.

Just like Iwahashi Shinichi himself promised, "Dreams will come true."

Miwa-chan was playing with herself. Next to her, Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura were chatting, and the topics discussed were all over the world. She listened to the lively chat between the two teammates. The topic was the club in Roppongi just now, and then it became the bay.

The regional situation, after a few sentences, changed to the reporter of TBS TV station Toyokan Akiyama.

On December 2, Toyohiro Akiyama, as a special correspondent, took a Soyuz spacecraft to the Mir space station for an eight-day space trip. He became the first Japanese to enter space and the first in history.

A commercially sponsored individual space traveler. The person who paid for his trip was TBS.

Of course, for TBS TV station, this huge amount of travel expenses was nothing when it got the big news of "the first Japanese in space" first.

Akiyama Toyohiro successfully returned to Earth and became a topical figure at the end of the year. He was widely followed by newspapers and media. He also became a regular guest on TV programs at the end of the year. In addition, "Space Diary" written by him,

Publishing matters were immediately put on the agenda. The publication of "Space Diary" had of course the full participation of TBS TV station behind it.

Miwa-chan is not a so-called "unsociable genius" who doesn't care about the world and knows nothing about the outside world. She knows everything about what Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura are talking about, except for the club in Roppongi.

But she didn't join the conversation, she just danced by herself. She muttered "It's so boring", but she was enjoying herself and hummed softly to accompany herself. In this way, people couldn't figure out how boring it was.

Is it her or the two men who are chatting non-stop.

However, this is not important in the first place.

Miwa-chan hummed softly. As she hummed, the night sky she saw when she looked up from the climbing frame in the park on Christmas Eve last year appeared in her mind.

Is the universe on the other side of the night sky?

Stay in the spaceship and look at the earth, stay in a corner of the earth and look at the night sky.

She raised her head. The big light bulb above her head didn't match the narrow space of the lounge. The light was bright. Miwa-chan stared at it for a while, her eyes were stung by the light, and she blinked hard, as if in her eyes.

Snowflakes fell.

This year, the band has taken another step forward compared to last year. DREAMS COME TRUE's dream has come true. Iwahashi Shinichi's record company is also booming. Not only that, he has also got a big star girlfriend. He has not yet followed the steps of his dream.

be hindered.

Therefore, on Christmas Eve this year, I will prepare three gifts for Shinichi Iwahashi.

Why three servings?

One is because last year's gift was not delivered, so it needs to be made up. The second is because Shinichi Iwahashi came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, which does not require him to quit the band, nor does the band become a burden to him.

What's the reason for the third copy?

Miwa-chan was confused for a moment. When she came to her senses, she realized that another year of Christmas was coming. This year it was the same, she had to exchange Christmas gifts with Shinichi Iwahashi.



On December 21st, MUSIC STATION will produce a four-hour live performance and use this program as TV Asahi’s year-end music special program.

For the four-hour live broadcast, the performance venue is no longer the studio of TV Asahi, but the Makuhari International Exhibition Center in Chiba City. The ticket booking hotline was opened to the audience one month in advance, with a total of 4,000 seats open.

.

Needless to say, all 4,000 tickets were sold out as soon as the ticket booking call was put out. Moreover, after that, until the start of the show, the scalped tickets on the market were sold out several times.

This kind of performance will definitely include this year's popular, topical, and long-standing singers. Of course, there will also be no shortage of newcomers who debuted this year. Even one week before the official date, the program

At the end, it was announced that this special show had temporarily added an overseas guest - Aerosmith.

After all, it was a show that went to Xiangjiang to find a certain kung fu superstar as a guest in the first episode. From the beginning, it was set that guests from overseas would appear on the show.

Iwahashi Shinichi's GENZO has a good relationship with TV Asahi. For this special program, his male solo solo Ken Mikami, who has not made any splash, and Utoku Keiko, who has been steady since his debut and cannot be said to be popular, but has also gained a certain degree of popularity and supporters,

Both people were invited to star.

Whether the relationship is good or not depends on whether the street singers and backbone singers in your hands can be qualified to appear on the stage. Of course, in exchange, Shinichi Iwahashi released BOLAN to perform.

This year is the year of the band, and there are countless bands invited. As the host TV station of Band Tianguo, TV Asahi has dozens of bands that have debuted through it. In addition to concentrating on making music and saying goodbye to terrestrial bands, as long as there are no schedule conflicts, other bands

, most likely they will arrive as soon as you are invited.

But the more this happens, the more we have to control the number of participating bands and not turn these four hours into a band party.

This is the first time for a large-scale special program to be produced. TV Asahi carefully planned it. The invited singers also cooperated with each other and went to the Makuhari Messe in Chiba one or two days in advance to familiarize themselves with the venue and conduct rehearsals.

DREAMS COME TRUE will also be there to participate in this four-hour live broadcast.

The band has never performed at Makuhari Messe and is quite unfamiliar with the venue. However, DREAMS COME TRUE has been touring indoor small and medium-sized venues for half of this year, so they are very comfortable with venues of this size. Shinichi Iwahashi, on the other hand,

, either performing in a live house with two to three hundred people, or performing in an open-air venue with tens of thousands of people. I don’t have much experience in indoor small and medium-sized venues.

However, there is no need to worry that his performance level will drag down Miwa-chan and Nakamura-san.

Although his current focus is basically behind the scenes, he usually participates in the record production of DREAMS COME TRUE, participates in shows with the band, serves as a producer for other singers, and spends time in the recording studio. Naturally, he never stops.

When practicing the keyboard, you don’t have to worry about doing it after you get on stage.

Normally, when participating in the recording of a TV program, one has to stay in the studio from beginning to end, even if it is just a guest appearance as a backdrop. However, this is a four-hour long program, and it is not a New Year's Eve party like the Red and White Song Festival.

The result of the battle needs to be announced at the end, and the chorus "Light of the Fireflies" will be performed.

Apart from making a collective appearance at the beginning and being introduced to the audience one by one, there are no special requirements that need to be left to the last minute. In this way, those who appeared early will be relieved earlier.

However, this special program of MUSIC STATION, DREAMS COME TRUE, as a heavyweight guest, was arranged in prime time for ratings. It coincides with the release of a new single and it is before Christmas, so this special program could not be better.

On promotional occasions, the new single "雪のクリスマス" (Snow Christmas) is a must-sing.

What's more, the special program was specially chosen to be broadcast before Christmas, so MUSIC STATION naturally closely follows the Christmas theme.

Last week, the band sang this song on TV for the first time. After the show was broadcast, the effect was immediate. Sales rebounded that week, helping the single's cumulative sales exceed 400,000 copies, temporarily ranking first in the 1991 annual single list.

——

After all, the 1990 list has ended. For the record sales rankings, a new year has begun.



On the 20th, one day in advance, the band went to Chiba City for rehearsal. There was a mixed crowd at the venue, and Iwahashi Shinichi had to put on a giraffe hood in advance.

In any case, since you want to play the role of a giraffe man, you must show professionalism.

Miwa-chan took the giraffe hood from the assistant who was following him, and transferred it from his own hand to Shinichi Iwahashi's lap. Before he put it on, he suddenly pressed the giraffe's hood.

"What's wrong?" Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her.

Miwa-chan didn't answer for now, but pressed the giraffe's router and laughed to herself for a while. Before Iwahashi Shinichi turned from helpless to speechless, he said the funny thing he thought of, "Like a Disney actor."

"Is that why?" Iwahashi Shinichi did not escape the silence.

Miwa-chan pouted, a little unconvinced, "It sounded like I was making a fuss out of a molehill."

"It's good that you know." Shinichi Iwahashi was pleased.

While Miwa-chan was not convinced, she did not continue to talk to him about soybeans and changed the topic back, "Disneyland is very close to here, right?"

Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't tell, but Brother Nakamura answered the question, "It's not far."

She took her hand away from the giraffe's giraffe and said, "Shinichi-kun has become a famous person, so I can't ask you to go to Disneyland with me." Miwa-chan didn't miss the opportunity to tease him, "

Now, if I were photographed going to Disneyland with you, I would be in trouble."

Iwahashi Shinichi heard Nakamura brother's booing laughter and knew that as a mature man, he would inevitably be teased and ridiculed in his band. He felt a little helpless and said, "Forget it."

Miwa-chan made a sound and thought for a while, "How about I give you two Disney tickets as a Christmas gift? Take it back and invite Nakamori Akina-san to play with you."

She looked like she had come up with a brilliant idea. After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't say enough, so she added, "Of course, in order to prevent me from being involved in possible turmoil, I also ask Shen Yijun not to use it to invite people."

Someone other than Akina-san.”

"..." Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but interrupt her with her always bold words, "Since it's a Christmas gift, at least leave me with a sense of anticipation."

This remark played into Miwa-chan's mind. She seemed to have planned it and was waiting for this sentence, and quickly answered, "I have prepared three Christmas gifts in a row. It doesn't matter even if one of them is not expected, right? Don't be so strict.

.”

……Fine.

Iwahashi Shinichi realized that Miwa-chan did not have a premeditated plan, but that this little fox knew how to turn people around and had extraordinary talent and brains in this regard.

However, on Christmas Eve last year, he told Miwa-chan that she would send three gifts in return this year. What he said at the time was actually just a lively statement, and he did not really want her to prepare three Christmas gifts. Especially with her explosive aesthetic.

And the strange brain circuit, three consecutive attacks on Christmas Eve, the feeling makes my teeth sore just thinking about it.

However, the atmosphere at that time made people have no choice but to say such words, even if it was just to liven up the atmosphere or turn the page.

This year, the band successfully transitioned to a new structure, and there was no adverse impact on the band due to Giraffe Man's announcement that he would not participate in theme tours and would only participate in TV performances and large-scale outdoor performances every four years. DREAMS COME TRUE

The pace kept moving, and Iwahashi Shinichi himself was relieved of half of his burden.

Now thinking about Miwa-chan's recklessness in expelling him from the band, and thinking about this unique "Christmas gift", Iwahashi Shinichi actually felt warm in his heart.

However, although he didn't care how she was going to deliver the three Christmas gifts, Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but want to make her miserable because of her messy behavior, so he thought he was trying to win back the fight.

The manager in the front row reminded him, "Iwahashi-san, it's almost time to put on your headgear."

Iwahashi Shinichi responded and picked up his hood. While he was wearing it, he heard Miwa-chan say next to him, "Anyway, I'll prepare three Christmas gifts."

"However," she changed her words, "please remember to prepare Shen Yijun's Christmas gift."

Shinichi Iwahashi responded to her through his hood, "Don't worry."

The car drove into the parking lot.

Staff members have been waiting here for a long time. After receiving the person, they led the band and accompanying people into the backstage of the venue through a special passage.
