386. The World in Words
Naturally, the Nagoya people don’t grow much more than people from other places.
However, it is the "Zhongjing" between Kansai and Kanto, and it has a strong sense of existence. Anyone who wants to tour the country will definitely not exclude this place.
To be honest, Miwa-chan has seen what Nagoya audiences look like. She has performed here when she was on a tour harmony team with Bushiming before.
However, if she told her this, she would definitely reply with confidence: "That's different. The audience who was not for us was not considered our audience, and of course she had never seen it."
If you guess what she would say, Shinichi Iwahashi would not argue with her.
...
After all the venues of the performance were opened, they could accommodate 450 people, which was not much better than a livehouse. Despite this, Miwa-chan was very happy.
When we arrived at the place and went to get familiar with the venue, Miwa-chan stood on the simple stage, looking at the empty venue below the stage without seats and only standing seats, and smiled and said to Shinichi Iwahashi with a smile: "It's much more grand than the livehouse we performed at the beginning."
"Of course, what about the size of 450 people?" Shinichi Iwahashi replied.
"Four hundred and five minus two hundred and five..." Miwa-chan muttered, and immediately became excited: "There are two hundred more people." Yes, this math is quite good.
"That's right, there are two hundred more people." Shinichi Iwahashi agreed.
Brother Nakamura listened to the conversation between them and showed a demonic smile. While laughing, he debugged his bass.
The venue is small and the venue is small. When the place is small, it will be closer to the audience. The more this happens, the more it can convey the charm of the live performance to the audience, and the easier it is to cultivate loyal fans at the beginning.
Thinking about the illusion of "always feeling the teacher is looking at me" in my student days, I probably understand that the distance is so close that even if I just look at the audience on stage and don't sing for anyone's smile, the audience will have the illusion of smiling at him in the audience.
Students who feel that they are being stared at by teachers will unconsciously stand up straight, and those who think that they are being looked at by different eyes will feel stronger.
During these two days in Nagoya, there are two performances every day. The first one starts from 5:30 to 7:00 in the evening, and the second one starts at 8:00 and ends at 9:30. This is the case with the venue rental fee for renting for one day at a time, but the place is small, and the tickets sold are always limited. In order to make a profit instinctively, the performances can only be increased.
Two games a day in Nagoya are just warm-ups. On the tour itinerary, there are several places that arrange four games a day in a intensive manner.
Fortunately, it’s not like four games a day when you go to a place, otherwise you can’t bear it at all. Especially Shinichi Iwahashi is still wearing a giraffe headband. It’s summer now. Before taking the stage, he always puts ice stickers in his headband to cool down.
This level of dedication can compete with Disney's Mickey?
Such a small venue is not much different from the rehearsal room in Tokyo, so there is no rehearsal session left, and you have to save your energy and wait for the next two games. So, after getting familiar with the venue, the venue will be opened at 4:30. Before the audience enters, everyone retreats back to the backstage and waits for the formal start of the show.
When some people confirmed the venue, staff also set up live booths outside the venue to sell band's debut singles and albums.
Any singer cannot avoid the promotional method of performing in small places when he debuts. Compared to newcomers who use cardboard boxes to build a stage outside record stores or in parks, for pedestrians who refuse to stop and sing hard, the band's performance starts from an indoor venue of 450 people, which has shown its advantages in debuting as a talent show champion.
There is no decent lounge in the backstage, and there are only places like grocery rooms for them to wait. While waiting, Miwa-chan felt nervous and bored, so she went to watch today's program list.
All the songs in his debut single and album were sung, but even so, all the songs could not support an hour and a half performance. For this reason, two unreleased stock songs were also equipped to sing.
The entire band mainly interacts with the audience with Miwa-chan. In contrast, the ordinary young man in beauty art, Masato Nakamura and Shinichi Iwahashi, who has no feelings, are two green leaves on stage that perform with Miwa-chan.
Although the three of them have their own arrangements for speaking in the livetalk link, the focus of their speech was still Miwa-chan. For this reason, she also worked hard to think about what should be said in the livetalk link.
The scale of performances of 450 people.
How many singles and albums can be sold at the end is still a bit unreal for Miwa-chan. However, compared to hearing the numbers in his ears, it is possible to confirm with his eyes that there are two hundred more venues than before.
Can all the tickets be sold out? How many people will come to visit our performance?
...
At five o'clock, the performance officially began.
There were no gorgeous stage special effects, no dazzling opening, and there was no good words. When time came, the three of them stepped on the line and went on stage from the side of the stage.
First there was Shinichi Iwahashi, then there was Masato Nakamura, and finally Miwa-chan who was still inactive.
She walked onto the stage and stood in the middle position set off by two teammates.
The venue without seats, looking around, the audience was full of people. I didn’t know if the tickets were sold out or how many people came, but the venue was full.
Miwa-chan looked at the audience full of the show and felt that her heart was filled with the enthusiasm of the performance. Whether it was the tension or anxiety before the opening, she was squeezed away and flew far away. Now she just wanted to sing.
"Good evening, we are dreamsetrue!"
She raised the microphone to her mouth and announced loudly like a child.
“Ohhh!!”
What responded to them was the cheers of the audience.
There is no longer any extra opening remarks. After this self-introduction, Shinchi Iwahashi sent a signal to start. Today's first song was sung, which was included in the album, and it was also the song that Shinchi Iwahashi first formed a team with Miwa-chan in livehouse, "I want to see you".
This is a song about a broken heart, and the lyrics are quite entangled.
For the audience standing off the stage and for dreamsetru, what they are familiar with is Duolimuzcom Tulu who sang "So happy! So happy! So love!" on stage. Unexpectedly, when I came to the scene today, I saw a breakup song first.
...
However, although it is a breakup song, it is a special breakup song. Although it is about love breakup, the style of the song is so cheerful. If I hadn't listened to the lyrics, I would never have thought that this was actually a song about breakup.
Standing in the audience, from the shoulders and shoulders of the audience in front, Suzuki Ka who was performing on the stage, couldn't help but think so in his heart.
Knowing that Dreamsetrue was going to Nagoya for tour, the performance was unwilling to go to work, and after work, Suzuki Ka came out of the company and came directly, intending to buy a live ticket to watch the performance.
Although I was not very interested in the band's debut album and had no plans to buy it, it was good to buy a ticket to see their live performances.
After all, Suzuki Ka didn't know what kind of debut album this band produced, and she was not very willing to spend money to try new things that were unknown or easy to try. However, she had long seen their ability to perform live on the band Heavenly Kingdom TV program. She would probably not be disappointed to watch the live performance.
Let’s take a step back, even except for the song “So happy! So happy! I like it!”, the other songs to sing are all boring and unremembered ordinary songs, so I can watch them perform “So happy! So happy! I like it!” with my own eyes.
Suzuki Ka likes this song so much.
When she arrived at the performance venue and went to buy tickets, she found that the sales status of the tickets was better than she thought. When she was gone, she was almost sold out. Judging from this, all the tickets today would have to be sold out.
The other audience members who came for dreamsetrue seemed to have similar thoughts to her, that is, the band has such strong live performance skills, so they will definitely not step on the thunder when they watch the live performance.
Because of this, even though most of the audiences who attended today are not very optimistic about the band's album, it doesn't prevent them from knowing that after the band's tour came to Nagoya, they came to buy tickets to watch the performance.
In this prosperous era, people are watching various performances more frequently. For them, buying an album that they may not like and throw it aside and eat it, is definitely not as refreshing as buying a ticket to see the performance and feeling the atmosphere.
As a result, even if I only watched the live performance of the song "So Happy! So Happy! So Like!", the first song I heard was a song with a completely different style from the song they were expecting.
Suzuki Kazu underestimated the consistency between others and her own ideas. She came late and did not occupy a good position. She could not devote herself 100% to watching the stage, which made her pay more attention to the "music" itself, so she also cared more about the lyrics.
The girl who was moving forward bravely in "So happy! So happy! So love it!" made Suzuki Ka feel very cute. Now it is no longer the era when girls are shy. The person you like must chase them so bravely!
What about this love-breaking song?
Listening to the lyrics and combining with the cheerful style of music, Suzuki Ka suddenly realized one thing: the women in the world of Yoshida Sang's songs are not the kind of traditional women, whether it is "So happy! So happy! So like it!" or the current song "Want to see you".
Women in Yoshida Sang's song world will stand up even if they are in love. Even if they are in a daze because of love, they are still looking forward to meeting at the next street corner. Walking in the surging crowds, they are still looking forward to an accident that passes by. Even so, they will not beg for revenge, complain about themselves, nor will they resent and accuse the other party.
In other words, the women she writes are not the kind of traditional women who have been "abandoned".
Just like the girl who always plays straight balls and moves forward bravely in "I Want to See You", the girl in the song "I Want to See You" is also a modern urban woman, not the traditional "resentful girl".
The world view in the lyrics of this song is in line with "So happy! So happy! So love!".
When Suzuki Ka realized this, she couldn't help but have a clearer understanding of the band: this is dreamsetrue.
They are not just a band that can be sung like this, but a band that has many good songs of high quality.
Such thoughts arose in Suzuki Ka's mind. This thought seemed to float out of her mind, melt into the air, and spread in the air, making the people around her have similar thoughts to her.
Or, in fact, the people around her are thinking about dreamsetru now, and they also think of it with this idea. Because of this, the air gradually filled with something that the audience could understand without saying it.
As for the evidence, it was that when the performance went down and the bands on the stage played new songs one after another, the applause and cheers from the three on the stage became more and more enthusiastic.
If you underestimate them, you will be out of sight!
This ticket was so worth it!
So, when I sang four songs in a row and started today's first livetalk, Miwa-chan greeted the audience, and just finished saying: "Good evening, thank you for watching our performance..."
What rewarded her was the applause and cheers that resounded throughout the audience, far exceeding the band's opening voice.
Surrounded by such cheers, Miwa-chan even performed many shows in the underground music circle before, but she was still a little shy. However, just like she always held a rat in the band, she should be part of her nature.
I was shy and had a little forgetful word when I did my homework before. In the end, I didn’t use it much if I prepared it, and most of them were compiled on the spot.
But even so, the audience was quite supportive, and the speech was never disappointed.
After chatting, the performance continued. In the second round, Masato Nakamura spoke. As a green leaf, Brother Nakamura was also very conscious of green leaf. After a few simple words, he gave up the stage again.
His speech, or including Shinichi Iwahashi's speech later, would be better to leave time for Miwa-chan to drink water.
The performance continues.
The audience responded more and more enthusiastically, and the people on the stage could feel the most, just as the teacher would never miss the students who were distracted or the students who were listening to the class carefully.
The audience responded well, and as they performed on stage, they were even more imposing. They didn't think about another performance waiting for them, but just thought about how to push the atmosphere of this show to the highest level.
Just like this only show, try your best until the last moment.
"Thank you everyone"
Finally, when the performance was over and the music stopped, the three of them stood in the middle of the stage, holding hands and bowed to the audience below to thank them.
Feeling their best performance, the audience sent their last enthusiasm without reservation.
Chapter completed!
