Naoki Nagayama woke up when the first ray of sunlight in the morning hit the bedroom~
Although she did a lot of shopping yesterday, her young body naturally recovered very early. Even Akina, as a girl, will feel refreshed after a good sleep.
"Akina, wake up!"
Nagayama Naoki patted his girlfriend next to him until she also opened her eyes, then took out a small cake from the refrigerator, lit a candle,
"Happy birthday!"
"Eh? When?!" Akina Nakamori suddenly woke up, "I didn't even see Naoki-san buying a cake!"
"Of course I prepared it secretly!"
Nagayama Naoki smiled, living in the presidential suite of a high-end hotel will naturally have various conveniences.
How does it feel to blow out birthday candles as soon as you wake up? This is the joy of being pampered to the heavens~
Akina closed her eyes and made a wish, then happily blew out the candles, and then...a small strawberry cake, which was just enough for two people's breakfast.
"Naoki-san, when are you going to the concert?"
With her boyfriend by her side, Akina doesn't have to worry about her schedule at all, she just needs to follow along.
"The official start time in the UK is at noon, and it's two hours later in Philadelphia. However, due to the time difference, it starts at around 9 o'clock, so we have to go there in advance..."
As the concert time progressed, more crowded people began to appear in the streets and alleys of Philadelphia, which was not a big city. The Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia where the concert was held was even more crowded~
If you arrive late, it will be troublesome to enter the venue by then.
After everything was cleaned up, Naoki Nagayama took Akina Nakamori into a taxi and rushed towards the stadium.
It's mid-July, and the morning sun is already very strong. However, the huge Kennedy Stadium is already overcrowded. The grass in the middle is full of people rubbing shoulders, making it very difficult to walk in.
In a noisy environment, Nagayama Naoki held Akina's hand and arrived at the VIP seat smoothly.
It is located on the second floor of the stadium, not far from the main stage. You can clearly see the people on the stage, but you don't have to stand on the venue like the audience in front of the main stage. There are several broadcast screens standing there~
"Naoki-san, there are so many people!"
Akina Nakamori was lying on the railing of the second-floor stands, looking at the packed stadium with great shock.
"It is said that there are 90,000 people!"
Nagayama Naoki said, so many people do look like a vast ocean. If there are thousands of people, they are already like matches. After tens of thousands, it becomes even more densely packed, which makes people almost have trypophobia!
"90,000 people..."
"Maybe there will be so many people at Akina's concerts in the future!" Nagayama Naoki smiled.
"How is that possible!"
Even though she has performed in many concerts, Nakamori Akina never thought that she would perform in front of so many people... Then she must be so nervous that she is shaking when she goes on stage!
At most...at most I just thought about holding a concert at Neon's Martial Arts Hall~
........
It was already late when Naoki Nagayama arrived, so after a period of noise, as the host came on stage, the conversation about this charity concert connecting London, UK and Philadelphia, USA officially started!
"Now, it's LIVE AID time!"
The first to appear was the American folk queen Joan Baez, who sang the classic hymn "Amazing Grace" and the concert theme song "We Are The World".
In the warm music, the theme of this LIVE AID and the start of the charity performance were announced.
Next, the noisy and exciting music began to play, and the whole stadium was filled with strong rhythm. Only then did people realize again that this was a rock and roll event!
“Oh oh oh~~” “omygod!” “That’s XXXX”
The singers on the stage were roaring, the audience in the audience were cheering, flying flags were swaying in their hands, and cups filled with drinks were spilling liquid from time to time. Everyone was immersed in the outstanding performance of the rock masters.
On such a hot day, Philadelphia Stadium was absolutely boiling from the beginning...
"
...
I-I will be king(I will be crowned king)
And you-you will be queen(You are my queen~)
Though nothing will drive them away(Although there is no way to avoid it~)
We can be heroes-just for one day (We can be heroes, just for one day of immortality~)
...
"
David Bowie sang and danced happily with "Heroes" which brought down the "Berlin Wall"~
"
...
And wouldn't it be nice to live together if we could live together, that would be great
In the kind of world where we belong
You know its gonna make it that much better
...
"
The Beach Boys sang "wouldn't it be nice", bringing people into a sweet love~
There is also the return of heavy metal veterans, and the dedication of rock masters...
Even people who don't understand music are completely immersed in the shock brought by rock music at this time.
The hot temperature did not hinder the enthusiasm of the singers and fans at all. Under the high temperature of 35 degrees, the entire Kennedy Stadium was still extremely excited. Many fans even took off their shirts, but from time to time, fans who fainted were carried out of the venue by security personnel. ...
The organizers had to use high-pressure water cannons to spray the sky above to help the fans cool down.
.......
At this moment in Tokyo, it is midnight.
Even though the neon TV station broadcast it, many viewers sang and danced along with the screen at home, but it was night after all, and it was just a bit high in a few bars...
Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo were in a club at night and turned on the TV out of curiosity~
"Naoki-san and Akina-chan, are you here now?" Yoshimura Otomo looked at the picture on the TV and asked curiously, "So many people?!"
The ticket he bought himself has been given to a friend, and then maybe given to someone else... Yoshimura Otomo himself actually doesn't like rock music very much. After all, he is an older person and is more interested in singing. It suits him.
"This charity concert is quite impressive!"
Itou Shuichi, who was drinking beer, said that he really wanted to join in the fun, but he couldn't let go of the work at hand.
"It is said that almost all the famous figures in the rock and roll industry have gone there!"
"Oh? Is there a neon singer?"
"It... doesn't seem to be..."
The neon music of this era has not yet become world-famous. It is only famous in Asia, and even J-pop is just a prototype.
During the bubble period, Neon's economic strength reached its peak, pure music and electronic music began to gain momentum, and then the distinctive city pop and later ACG culture, Neon music became famous in the world.
Fangcun Dayu stopped talking when he heard this... After all, this seemingly very influential event did not involve Neon... It always felt like he was lacking in national self-confidence.
Itou Shuichi stared at the screen carefully:
"There are too many people...the two venues are probably close to 100,000 people, right?"
"Shuichi-san, do you think a concert in Tokyo can reach this scale?" Yoshimura Otomo suddenly became curious.
"Impossible!" Itou Shuichi immediately shook his head, "Even if we want to hold it, we currently don't have such a big venue..."
Even the martial arts hall can only accommodate more than 10,000 people~
"Unless it's the Tokyo Olympics Main Stadium..." Yoshimura Otomo thought of the previous Olympic Games, "but probably not that many people will go to see it..."
In this era, there are very few super singers who can attract so many people. It would be great to be able to hold a concert with tens of thousands of people~
If one person alone can attract more than 100,000 people, perhaps only Michael Jackson can do it.
After the two chatted about the concert for a while, Itou Shuichi continued:
"Did Naoki-san come back after the concert?"
"Didn't you say you want to go to New York? It's about investment~" Otomo Yoshimura answered, "This guy, once he goes abroad, he will play for most of the month no matter what!"
"Hahaha, that's right!"
Itou Shuichi laughed.
The noisy concert was still being broadcast on the TV screen, but unfortunately the two people watching had little knowledge of rock music and could only speak a few simple words in English.
To them, the singers on the stage were probably singing from the bible... and they couldn't understand anything.
With a click, Yoshimura Otomo decisively turned off the power of the TV and said to Itou Shuichi:
"Xiu Yi-san, call Mama-san over and ask her to arrange some more ladies... Let's have a nice drink today! Relax!"
Itou Shuichi also laughed heartily:
"Okay, I've been filming movies in Ota District these days, and the weather is hot...but I'm exhausted!"
"Haha, let's drink some ice wine then!"
In this way, two greasy old men immediately abandoned rock music and threw themselves into the charming music of the young lady.
...
Time flies when you are immersed in a concert, especially in such a big scene.
"
...
Don't you et about me
Don't don't don't don't
Don't you et about me
...
"
Akina Nakamori sang the chorus of Don't You (et About Me) along with Simple Minds on the stage. Her head shook up and down according to the music nodes, and her whole body swayed to the music....
People around him were also echoing the lead singer’s voice, as if he was about to talk to a loved one~
The lyrics of this song are simple and it should be a song Akina has heard!
At the last moment, Akina suddenly turned around, took Nagayama Naoki's arm and swayed with the music, and sang happily:
"~~Don't you et about me~~"
"~When you walk on by~"
"Will you all have my name?"
In my eyes, I was still thinking about singing a duet with Nagayama Naoki, and I was not shy at all in front of everyone in private...
It seems that my girlfriend has completely integrated into the atmosphere of the entire venue~
"Naoki-san, what time is it now?"
When the song ended, Akina Nakamori sat down, wiping the sweat from her forehead and drinking a Coke with ice cubes~
"It's almost three o'clock~" Nagayama Naoki said while looking at the Rolex on his wrist.
"It's actually been four or five hours?" Akina Nakamori said in surprise, "We've been at the concert for so long?!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes, with such a fun atmosphere, time flies..."
Naoki Nagayama looked at the vendors coming from the aisle: "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
Akina Nakamori touched her stomach. Even though the weather was very hot, the cake she ate in the morning had naturally been digested after being at the concert for so long...
"What's there to eat?" Akina Nakamori looked over.
Naoki Nagayama waved the vendor over. Inside the small box were simple hot dog buns, some chocolates and so on... After paying happily, the two of them rested while listening to the cheering atmosphere in the field.
"When is this concert going to be?"
"Probably until midnight~" Nagayama Naoki said, "16 hours!"
"It's so long..." Akina Nakamori looked at the people in the stadium and subconsciously asked, "Will these fans watch until the end?"
"not sure...."
Nagayama Naoki also looked around. The fans around him were also a little tired, but the atmosphere of the entire venue still seemed very excited.
However, it is impossible to be high for more than ten hours, and neither is the best military stimulant!
"Mingna... let's prepare to leave by evening!"
Of course, it was allowed to leave early. Princess Diana and Prince Charles in the British venue just stayed for a while during the opening and then left~
In fact, many people were just fans of a few singers. They came to attend the concert because of the singers, and some people had already left.
"Okay!" Akina Nakamori ate the bread and looked at Naoki Nagayama, "Naoki-san, do you want to wait for Madonna's performance?"
"Yeah....Madonna in the evening...."
In fact, Naoki Nagayama had no intention of joining in, but until later generations, Madonna was also very famous and he didn't want to miss this concert.
"Naoki-san..." Akina Nakamori came over and said with a smile, "Do you have a good relationship with Madonna?"
"It was just a casual relationship. His ex-boyfriend and I were friends~"
Naoki Nagayama doesn't know many people in the United States, but he has met Madonna once... but we haven't contacted him for several years. Madonna must have forgotten about the Asian who she only met once.
But it was her ex-boyfriend, Basquiat, and the two of them would occasionally send letters... and draw a graffiti or something like that~
Madonna's music career is developing smoothly, she is becoming more and more famous, and her work is getting busier and busier... Although Basquiat is also a well-known graffiti artist, the gap between the two is already obvious.
Generally speaking, for lovers who start from scratch, if the man's career develops better and better, the relationship is more likely to last. On the contrary...the woman's career gets better and better, and the relationship will most likely last.
Failure.
So...Madonna and Basquiat broke up a long time ago~
"Then when Naoki-san goes to New York, do you want to meet your ex-boyfriend?"
"It depends on the time... maybe we can't meet it on the schedule..." Nagayama Naoki shrugged~
Time passed slowly, and soon it was time for the sky to be filled with flames.
At this time, Madonna finally took the stage...
The 27-year-old Madonna is infinitely youthful, rocking her red hair, and is full of energy on the stage... Having just experienced the indecent photo incident, she spoke out full of emotions in the 35-degree weather.
Rebellious lines:
"No matter what, I won't take off any clothes today!"
"
.......
It's time for the good times (enjoy the good times)
et about the bad times, forget the troubles of life)
oh yeah
.......
"
Then holding a red handbell, Madonna radiated vitality on the stage, turning this concert into her own.
Akina Nakamori looked at the music queen on the stage, her eyes shining with admiration.
In my own concert, it seems that I can have more energy like this on stage...
A little more spontaneity, a little less step-by-step dance moves...
In most of Akina Nakamori's previous performances, she danced while singing, with equal emphasis on dancing and singing.
However, perhaps due to previous stereotypes, this form is still more biased towards idol performance~
The real kings and queens of pop do rehearse their performances when they perform, but they are not all step-by-step... proper freedom of expression will create an incredible chemical reaction between the stage and the audience, making the concert more exciting.
A step.
That kind of casual arrangement and the ability to control the stage at will may be the direction Akina will work hard in the future.
.....
After the sky had darkened, the impressive piano sound suddenly came from the big screen at Philadelphia's Kennedy Stadium...
"mama....just killed a man~"
Naoki Nagayama stood up excitedly again, "Bohemian Rhapsody"...it's time for Queen!
In fact, at the beginning, Naoki Nagayama wanted to go to a venue in London, England...after all, Queen's most brilliant performance was there.
He knew about this live aid concert in his previous life, and also saw Queen's performance from various video websites.
However, after comprehensive consideration, I decided to come to Philadelphia in the United States...after all, I know more about American celebrities, and I still have things to do later, and it would be too tiring to take a flight for more than ten hours.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Queen!!"
Nagayama Naoki's excitement also made Nakamori Akina curious, and they began to watch the performance on the big screen together...
The lead singer Freddie Mercury, who was wearing white trousers and a white T-shirt, looked like some kind of gangster, but his appearance immediately changed when he sat in front of the piano...
When he sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" while playing the piano, his emotional voice made the audience sing along with him~
"mama....just killed a man...."
"Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry....."
"...."
During the whole chorus, it seemed as if everyone had shot someone and was immersed in the regret of committing a crime...
The song ends....
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang"
Two stomps of feet, one clap... a familiar and shocking rhythm sounded.
"
We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
"
During "We Will Rock You", countless fans stamped their feet, clapped their hands, and rocked the whole world together with Queen on the stage. The resonance caused even made the steps on the second floor of the stadium shake greatly.
, but no one was worried...
Next, the familiar "we are the champions" is a chorus that is very suitable for fans.
"
...
We are the champions my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
...
No time for losers
Cause we are the champions
.......
"
The atmosphere of the entire stadium was stirred up again!
