311. So Terror(1/2)
lounge.
I am familiar with each other twice, but in the fifth chapter, it is no different from my own living room.
The three of them arrived early and late. After sitting in their own seats, they just waited for the show to begin.
Although the place is familiar, the people who live in the same room are changing every issue. In contrast, these new bands, although they are unfamiliar with the TV station's lounge, are very familiar with the band Dreamsetru.
When they first came, no one took anyone from the band to care about them. When they came the second time, other bands looked at them in various ways.
However, after crushing four consecutive games, the bands who sat here tonight and lived in a lounge, looked at them again, and their thoughts were much simpler and purer.
The four-stage winning streak is so terrifying!
Waiting for the show to start, the last amateur band came late. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the dreamsetru sitting there. Their female lead singer's eyes lit up and she ran up to say hello: "Sang Yoshida?"
Miwa-chan raised her head. This rash female lead singer was a short-haired tomboy. Not long after I met Shinichi Iwahashi, the short hair she cut was comparable to. Her clothes were very cool, and although her words and deeds had nothing to do with the word cool, she was a bit cute as a small animal.
"I have watched all the previous performances of Dolimuzcom Tulu, Yoshida Sang is really amazing!"
She was indoors, and there were strange bands around her. The female lead singer was also more restrained in chasing stars on the spot, and her voice was very low.
"Thank you!" Miwa-chan was a little embarrassed when she was praised in person by her colleagues.
The lead singer of the band who will compete on the same stage later is a fan of the four-episode winning streak. A traitor appeared in the opponent's band. Shinichi Iwahashi was watching, which made him feel a little funny.
But at the same time, I also felt the band’s little popularity in person.
"Reiko."
It was the musician of this band who called the tomboy, and the leading actress smiled at Miwa-chan again and returned to her teammates.
...
At the same time, Watanabe Manyumi parked her car in the passenger parking lot of the TV station.
"It's here," she said.
Haruko Akamatsu in the passenger seat took off her seat belt, "I'm so sorry for being so late because of me, Watanabe San."
In recent weeks, Watanabe Manyumi has been driving to pick up Haruko Akamatsu, and the two of them came to the TV station together. Tonight, Haruko Akamatsu had some sudden problems and returned to the apartment again in the middle of the journey, which delayed a while on the road.
"Don't be so polite." Wanyumi Watanabe smiled and changed the subject: "Tonight is a dreamsetrue's decision battle. I'm looking forward to their performance."
Haruko Akamatsu also smiled and accepted Wanyumi Watanabe's kindness.
After getting off the car, the two walked towards the elevator one after another.
Because Shinichi Iwahashi put on a hood and got involved in the band, Manyumi Watanabe and Haruko Akamatsu, who are clearly aware of the whole story, now know the same secret together and protect it together. In addition, they have to sit in the representative seat together every week, which wonderfully forms a comrade-like relationship.
After delaying this on the road, the two became the last one to go to the lounge.
It is different from the band lounge where the lineup is changing every week. Although the representatives are a bit competitive, everyone participates in the show together every week. They don’t know when they will work together in the industry. Regardless of whether they are plastic flowers or not, their relationship will definitely not wither.
Seeing them coming in, several representatives nodded to them, while others were chatting. After hearing it, nothing unexpected happened, and it was also about the winner tonight.
"Dreamsetrue can definitely get king tonight, right?"
"It's really surprising to have such strength and expressiveness. Although I'm here to be a representative, I'm not consciously attracted by their performances during the review."
Watanabe Manyumi and Haruko Akamatsu came at the latest. After sitting down, they consciously acted as listening.
"There is another strange thing. Nowadays, underground bands are popular to find a girl with a good tone to be the lead singer. Of course, the musician is still the one who is responsible for writing the music.
But the songs that this band has sang so far are all composed and composed by the leading female singer, and the two musicians are only responsible for arranging the music. It is rare to see a mixed band of men and women who are completely dominated by the leading female singer, right?”
"The singing skills are amazing, the songs and lyrics are well written, they are characters."
"I remembered that Yushisan." Those who said this were the representative of Tokuma Records. Tokuma Records just added the championship of the last issue to its predecessor, and it was the time to be proud.
When he said this, everyone here smiled.
The new music queen Yumi Matsuriya is impeccable. To say that the shortcomings are appearance. The leading actress who dreamsetruo is like Yumi Matsuriya, one expresses her appreciation, and the other expresses her shortcomings in a tactful way.
While chatting, the staff came over and asked them to take their seats in front of the studio.
The representatives who had been chatting hotly just now stopped talking and stood up and left the seat. Watanabe Manyumi turned her face to look at Haruko Akamatsu, "Let's go too."
Go and witness the victory of dreamsetru.
Witness the most important step taken by Shinichi Iwahashi's initial dream.
...
At 11:20, on the TV, the advertisement was over, and the band's Heaven began on time.
Host Yuji Miyake faced the camera and said the opening remarks that he had said countless times, "Good evening, the new band Heaven is about to begin."
The audience who changed to Asahi TV was waiting early, or the audience who changed the station by stepping on the spot, at this moment, were paying attention to the band Heavenly Kingdom of this issue.
"After the previous episodes of the show were broadcast, the TV station received a call from the audience, asking about dreamsetru and giving them support."
When this sentence is said, countless viewers smiled in front of the TV. Those who would react to this sentence were called to the TV station after the program was broadcast.
The TV audience is very enthusiastic, and when they are unhappy, they make complaints and when they are happy, they make praises. For this era, making a phone call is also a way to participate.
"I've received a lot of support from the audience while still in the competition, which is worthy of being dreamsetrue."
Yuji Miyake said, "Whether they can take their support to the Dragon Gate, or stop here after the proud four consecutive wins, it depends on this key issue tonight."
Speaking of this, he followed the custom and turned the topic to tonight's representatives and introduced the newly launched company representatives.
At the end of the opening remark, in the TV screen, under the stage lights, a band of female lead singers and male musicians stood up. The female lead singer's hair was amazingly short and looked very eye-catching.
Another "decision night" for the band Heaven has arrived.
...
At 11:20, five minutes away, the owner of the restaurant "Shuntian" asked the customer in the store, "Don't you mind if I switched the TV to Asahi TV station?"
Although it was a carnival Saturday, this kind of small restaurant where ordinary people had a meal or a drink was not very good. The two or three guests present were regular customers in the store.
It is precisely because of this that the boss straightforwardly solicits the opinions of customers.
"Is there any show that must be watched?" The person who spoke was a man about fifty years old with a sparse head.
"It's called 'Band Heaven'." The boss replied.
Another man with a flat head shaved from his forties heard this and said, "The boss is still watching such a fashionable show?"
Both of them are regular customers who live nearby.
"In fact, there is a band that participated in the show," the regular customers did not answer "No", so the boss agreed to "yes" and changed the station to Asahi TV. "They work nearby, sometimes very late, and come to the store to eat."
"It's not an office worker band of our age, right?" Uncle Bading joked.
The boss shook his head, "I'm pretty young, I seem to be working while working on a band."
As he was talking, on the TV, the show started, Yuji Miyake appeared on the TV screen, "After the previous episodes of the show were broadcast, the TV station received a call from the audience and asked about dreamsetru..."
"It's this band," said the boss, "Dorimuzcomb."
"I have won four consecutive periods. I will win the championship again tonight?" Uncle Flat Head was a little surprised, "Is it still such a band with such a background?"
"If you win the championship, you can sign a record company to debut." The boss poured out the program information he knew and said, "I used to think they were the unrealistic young people, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful."
On the TV, Yuji Miyake's opening remark ended and the first band appeared.
Uncle Bading looked at the tomboy leading singer standing in front and muttered: "So young. My daughter is almost that old."
"If it were a show like "Star! Birth", I would still find it very interesting." said the flat-headed uncle, "But watching a band show can only be fun."
The three of them talked and talked, chatting while watching the performances on TV.
For the boss, he was also a lively watch. The young man who often went to the store to eat suddenly appeared on TV and became a band that seemed promising. This transformation was very fresh.
With a little idea of having something to do with "celebrities", he is so passionate about this show. As for the show itself, he actually doesn't care much.
However, while these three people chatted and waited for the band of young people who often came to the store to have dinner, the fourth person in the restaurant, the guest who had not spoken, silently stared at the TV and watched the performance inside.
This man looks about in his forties and is also an ordinary office worker. He didn't say anything when the boss solicited the customer's opinions, and it seemed that he didn't mind changing the store.
The band Heaven...
When he heard the word "band", Nakai was the man's surname and thought "I really miss you" in his heart.
Nakai, who works in an accounting firm, also formed a band with his college friends during the GS boom when he was young. At that time, the left-wing youth were still vigorous, and the Nakai's band also participated in the activities of the Left-wing youth.
However, when graduation is approaching, whether he or his friends, they cut off their long hair, put on their musical instruments, put on suits and look for a job, get married and have children after taking up their jobs, and their lives will go smoothly.
After that, time passed by. Even if Nakai occasionally remembered the events of his student days, he immediately threw these old memories behind his mind. Whether it was a vow or a declaration, the past was just gone.
After being over forty years old, I am not very sensitive to trends, and Nakai doesn't know how time goes by. Nowadays, young people pick up musical instruments and start performing.
Nakai watched this music program with a little nostalgic attitude.
One band after another took the stage and left, not only those who contributed beautiful performances, but also those who were played by the three-minute full performance mechanism. Wonderful performances may not necessarily receive applause from the owners and diners in the restaurant. The bands who were played by them often make them smile.
While watching the show, Nakai thought to himself that although the young people nowadays picked up musical instruments to form a band, they were in this fast-paced golden age, and their music was full of confidence and a kind of optimism to enjoy timely, which was completely different from the era he was in at that time.
Even so, Nakai did not have the idea of "this generation of young people is hopeless". On the contrary, watching the performances of the bands, the memories of the past collide with what they see and feel in the present, and unexpectedly sparks came out.
This is the so-called era. Nakai thought.
Friends who used to form a band together now, if they watch this show, I don’t know what they would feel.
