On Friday night, there is a platter performance at Meguro Deer Ming Hall.

The Meguchi Deer Ming Pavilion started business in 1980 and has always been a live rock show. Because it is famous in the underground music circle, many well-known bands performed here before they debuted and are also regarded as the holy place for underground bands.

The more you are regarded as a holy place by underground bands, the more you attract powerful bands to perform, which greatly increases the chance of getting out of famous bands from here.

That being said, the venue rental fee of 150,000 yen per night on weekdays, 250,000 yen per night on Fridays, Saturdays and holidays. This threshold alone has already blocked all the names of unknown bands that cannot guarantee box office.

Tajima Takao's band originallove is not unknown in the underground music circle, but it is definitely not enough to perform separately at the Mekuro Takumika Hall. On weekdays, their range of activities is mostly small livehouses in Kitazawa, Shinjuku, and Nakano. It is just a goal to perform alone at the Mekuro Takumika Hall.

Originallove is a band centered on Tajima Takano. He completed the lead singer, guitar, and most songwriting. It can be said that it is undoubtedly the center of the band.

Sometimes, a band like this that takes almost everything with a core character can make people wonder: Why not go to solo?

You must never underestimate the contributions of the musicians, and do not ignore the contributions of the teammates behind the lead singer.

Because the instrumental performance is ever-changing, even the same piece can play various flavors. Therefore, live performances have become the most charming place for the band. A good musician will definitely increase the charm of the band. Cooperating with a tacit band, the contribution of what they contribute will be more exciting than simply following the accompaniment team of solo singers.

The band is more popular than the solo singers, and it is definitely not as simple as the band is a group fight, and solo fights alone.

Because of the charm of the scene, some live-action solo singers often have a fixed team of cooperation, and everyone cooperates with each other through the tacit understanding after many times of running-in.

...

Originallove's agent told them that there was a platter performance at the Mekhi Luming Hall on Friday night, and they did not participate in the box office share, and they paid the performance fee at one time and sang for thirty minutes.

"Do you want to go?"

"Of course." Tajima Takao and his companions agreed.

Even if you go to the platter, you will be one step closer to your goal.

So, on Friday night, all originallove members arrived at the backstage of Meguri Luming Pavilion and began preparing for the performance.

Tonight, a band Mimi Club, who has already debuted, came to participate in the performance.

Before signing with CBS Sony, Mimi Club had already performed at the Meguro Luming Hall. After signing with CBS Sony agent, they continued to perform in livehouse while recording records and touring.

However, the simple underground stage that used to be no longer available, but was performed on regular stages like Meguro Luming Hall.

Having a band that has already debuted here to perform, which means another thing is that there are people from record companies in the audience. This is equivalent to an invisible interview, so the bands that come to perform are all working hard.

Platter performances are often also competitive performances, which is a rule that does not have to be said between the band.

Originallove is also competing in his heart.

The performance was very lively, and the audience who came to watch the performance remained as always. As long as they contributed a performance of high enough standards, even if they knew nothing about you before, they would not stingy with applause and cheer.

Originallove has a good level and as they wished, it conquered the audience in the audience tonight. However, in Tashima Takao's heart, this is far from enough, and he cannot get a sense of accomplishment from it.

His goal is not just to perform alone in the Meguro Deer Ming Pavilion, but to be higher and farther away.

...

After the performance, the band members and several other people who participated in the performance went to a bar to drink. Before the performance fee I received just now, they flew to the store's purse.

After drinking a little drunk, Takao Tajima said goodbye to his companions and took the tram back to the apartment alone.

Tashima Takao was born in Tokyo, but before he could remember much, he moved to Fukushima Prefecture with his family until he graduated from high school, where he spent it.

He has loved music since he was a child. He picked up the guitar in middle school and spontaneously formed a band with his friends. His friends regard forming a band as an entertainment hobby, and only he takes every rehearsal and public performance seriously than anyone else.

Fukushima Prefecture is an absolute countryside place, and there is no stage to display in the countryside.

When Tajima Takashima was young, he often heard his mother talk about being in Tokyo and had a yearning for Tokyo. After having a dream, the city of Tokyo became a place where he had to go.

It is not a city, it is a center, a big stage that can accommodate tens of millions of dreams.

With this belief, Takao Tashima was admitted to the university in Tokyo, came to Tokyo from Fukushima, met his current teammates here, and formed the originallove team.

They decided to make a living with music, so they worked while performing, and no one went to find a job. Once they had a formal job and became a tram, then if they wanted to jump off that track, it would be an "accident".

Because of this, young people who hold this dream that seems unrealistic to outsiders and even their families regard not finding a job as a creed that must be followed.

...

Tajima Takao lives in Shimokisawa, with some simple apartments. His parents cut off their living expenses after graduating from college, and now he is satisfied to live in such a house.

It was a distance from the station to get here. He had already drunk some wine, but after such an activity, he felt dizzy.

Just as he was about to go upstairs, he glanced at the mailbox, took back his steps, came to the mailbox, opened it, and put it in with the ski resort promotional advertising brochure, which was a letter.

The sender wrote about Asahi TV.

A while ago, Asahi TV launched a big commercial, and was spread by word of mouth. They all knew that they were going to broadcast a band talent show, hosted by the host Yuji Miyake, and among the judges, there were famous producers like Sakuma Masae. Amateur bands of various styles were welcome to sign up.

A stone caused a thousand waves. In the underground music circle, there were endless disputes surrounding this talent show. Some people regarded it as a great opportunity, while some bands looked down on it, thinking that the TV station extended its claws to the band.

Tajima Takao and his originallove are the ones who regard it as a great opportunity. After getting the news, the band immediately recorded the performance video and sent it to Asahi TV station to participate in the primary election.

And now... Asahi TV sent a letter.

Tajima Takao was so excited that he held the letter and the advertising book in his hand.
