759. Rounding
(Happy Spring Festival)
The expanded Bayshore Plaza is wider and more beautiful than when the music festival was held here two years ago.
The major renovation of Tokyo has transformed such an excellent location for hosting outdoor concerts, and it is all open to accommodate 50,000 audiences.
The venue had just been renovated, and outdoor performance Takuro Yoshida held an eight-hour concert here.
Takuro Yoshida, the father of the new folk songs, was also a pioneer in outdoor concerts in Japan. In the earliest Japanese music industry, there was no concept of "personal concerts". Takuro Yoshida was one of the first musicians to devote himself to making personal concerts.
The newly renovated site, let Takuro Yoshida go to start a game first, which is also a good start - to have a good luck.
As soon as September entered, construction began to start on the other side of Bayshore Plaza to build the stage for the DREAMSCOMETRUE concert. After that, the band will hold an outdoor performance for two consecutive days.
The Tokyo venue, which ended, was extremely grand. It mobilized 40,000 people in a single game, and 80,000 audiences will come for the band in two days.
The band that sang triumphantly and became popular all the way, the tickets to Tokyo are also sold out, and scalpers are sold at a higher price, and some people still pay for it. Even decades later, scalpers are difficult to eliminate, let alone now.
On Friday night one day, the band booked to star in Asahi TV's "MUSICSTATION", which was the first time the band appeared on a TV show since the tour began.
Of course, the purpose is to make the most of the hot-selling singles and albums.
The band has a close relationship with Asahi TV. When participating in music programs, they also give priority to "MUSICSTATION". Live broadcast programs should be rehearsed one day in advance. Shinichi Iwahashi put on a giraffe hood once again after a long time, and walked into the TV station's backstage.
During the tour, the single "Eyestome" sold over 900,000 copies, which was almost certain to be a step away from the actual sales of one million. Looking at this year's singles rankings, no single has won this one so far. From this point of view, this single sold over one million before the annual chart settlement, becoming the first one million single in Heisei's life, which is already in front of him.
The single is about to exceed one million, and the sales volume of the new album released before the tour has steadily exceeded 700,000 copies. Judging from the sales momentum, it is even better than this "Eyestome".
The band did not go to the TV station to play songs for this album, only advertising and radio promotion. But even so, in the context of the hot sale of "Eyestome", the album sales were still very good. Shortly after the album was released, it was a tour. During the tour, the band sang album songs at the concert, which led the audience who came to watch the performance to actively buy.
In order to ensure that the previous works, the public has firmly believed that DREAMSCOMETRUE's production must be a fine product. The band's focus on the overall production method of the album has also made the quality and hearing of the album first-class, which can withstand this trust.
Reducing TV exposure during the tour is a strategy to ensure freshness on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is supported by popular singles and the topic of the tour, so there is no need for the band to over-promote themselves.
Now that the tour is about to end, it is time to go on TV and promote singles and albums. To be honest, it is to move the TV songs that should have been placed on the album when it was released, and the exposure rate began to decrease before and after the tour ended.
I will participate in a music program once a day, and will arrange music programs again next week when the Tokyo performance ends.
The band is now popular and has strong sales momentum. In addition, it has also held a large-scale tour with a total of hundreds of thousands of people. No matter where it looks, it is full of glory.
This time I came to participate in "MUSICSTATION" for a long time, and the program team gave him enough show. The original plan was to sing two songs in a row, and add another album song to the single "Eyestome". However, after receiving the script, Shinichi Iwahashi negotiated with the program team and hoped not to sing the whole song, but to change the two songs into three songs in a row, making the advertisement full of advertisements.
Whoever is popular speaks loudly, the band is in a fierce momentum this year, and the firm behind it has a good relationship with Asahi TV Station. This matter is not a problem at all. When you talk about it, you will immediately respond enthusiastically and give the best treatment. The performances and appearances arranged in the future are the finale.
For a band with a relatively new resume, this treatment is entirely because it is popular, so popular that it can ignore its qualifications, so popular that the seniors on the same stage have nothing to say, and are willing to applaud them with a smile.
After several months of not appearing on TV, Miwa-chan's ability to deal with the host's questions has dropped sharply. No one loves anyone who wears a giraffe's headband, so he doesn't need to talk to Tamori. So the burden of the conversation is thrown to Brother Nakamura. Miwa-chan can only reply to "Hai, Hayi" like a shy little girl when she is occasionally named.
The mouse holds a gun in the recording studio and clamps his tail in the studio. This is Miwa-chan.
"I haven't been on TV for a long time, right?"
"It's been a while since I'm busy with a nationwide tour..." Spokesperson Brother Nakamura explained. No matter what the strategy is, there must be a reasonable reason when facing the camera.
"The band is really amazing this year. Now there are 'Doricom' and 'Doricom' everywhere." Tamorie smiled.
Brother Nakamura smiled and nodded politely, expressing his modesty. Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwachan also nodded. The three of them were like the live version of FlowerRock, and even the nodding frequency was tacit.
"The tour is about to come to the final stage..."
"Yes, this month on the 9th and 10th, at Bayshore Plaza, thanks to the support of the audience." Brother Nakamura said, Shinichi Iwahashi pulled Lami and Ken under the table, and the three of them bowed to the camera to thank him.
The time of the live show was tight, and the opposite side raised the sign. Tamori, who was originally talking to Brother Nakamura, immediately turned the topic back smoothly. The three of them got up and went to the stage-
"So, please listen to the special skewers brought by DREAMSCOMETRUE."
As soon as the prelude rang, Miwa-chan, who was honestly just now, immediately shook off her fox tail and was majestic on the stage. After the outdoor tour started, the experience of large-scale performances increased, and Miwa-chan was more at ease on the stage. At the beginning of the performance, it seemed as if the stage of this studio was turned into a stage for a band concert.
First, "Eyestome" took the lead, then sang two songs from the album. At the end of the performance, it ended with "Eyestome". It was obviously a skewer of three songs, but it was done in one go, as if it should have been.
In front of the TV, the audience watching the band performing and experiencing the charm of the band's live performance. The audience who had already booked tickets were full of expectations for the upcoming outdoor tour and those who could not buy tickets began to feel regretful.
It would be a pity for such a band to not see their live performances. Listening to the interview and introduction just now, this outdoor tour was very exciting...
Video tapes should be released later, right?
After this episode of "MUSICSTATION" was broadcast, the long-lost performance caused Asahi TV to receive countless calls, asking whether the band will post videotapes on the tour, and hopefully, they will continue to see the band appear in the next episode...
There are many kinds of things, everything is there.
Not only that, the band's episode "MUSICSTATION" also won the highest ratings of the show this year. It can be said that it is so popular that no one wants to miss it.
If possible, the "MUSICSTATION" program team hopes that the band will appear again, and other TV stations also hope to give this team a lucky star to participate in the program.
Unfortunately, the band will start preparing for the final stage of the tour next week. The Tokyo venue, which will end next, can be called the gem on the band's crown that has been in full swing for a year.
...
The first-line star performs in Tokyo again, and calls to the office to ask for tickets for related persons. In addition, because Fujifilm sponsored this tour, Fujifilm's relationship tickets must be reserved for each concert.
According to the agent in charge of band affairs, there are 2,500 tickets for relationship owners sent out in a single game, which means that the relationship owner alone can fill a Hibiya outdoor guild hall.
Each of the three members of the band can get twenty relationship tickets. Of course, it is not that you have to send the tickets out, but that you can get twenty relationship tickets from the firm reserved.
Brother Nakamura, a Tokyo native, sent the ticket home. After all, it was on his own territory. He divided his parents and relatives into one, and it was easy to digest twenty pieces.
Shizuoka’s distance from Tokyo is similar to Miwa-chan’s parents going to Sapporo to watch a concert. If Miwa-chan went to Sapporo to have a concert in glory, then rounded up...
Shizuoka countryman Shinichi Iwahashi called his mother and asked her and her father if she wanted to come to Tokyo to watch a concert.
DREAMSCOMETRUE was an opportunity for him to decide to enter the industry. Now, the band is popular and the goal of promoting Miwachan is realized. Shinichi Iwahashi is also happy about the "dream comes true".
If I hadn't met Miwa-chan, I wouldn't have taken the path I am now.
Because of this, the success of the band is of extraordinary significance to him.
However, this kind of call must be called to your mother. If you call your father who is the best at choking, it would be too embarrassing to receive a sentence like "It's better to see the video tape later" or "I can't see your face anyway".
Iwahashi Masaki may not look down on his son or his work in the art world, but his personality is like this.
“Outdoor concert?”
Fortunately, my mother, Chiyo Iwahashi, was very supportive.
"Well, nine and ten days, at Bayshore Plaza."
Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "Does my mother want to come to see her with her father? It's Saturday and Sunday."
"If you go and see, will you still wear that deer's headband?"
"It's a giraffe, not a deer." Shinichi Iwahashi explained to his mother.
It is a giraffe running on the African continent, not a deer biting a butt in Nara.
"So, can't see your face?"
Shinichi Iwahashi agreed, "Yes, I guess I can't hear my harmony at the scene..." He could only see a giraffe man who was pulled by a little fox and ran all over the field.
"However, you can always see your face in private." Chiyo Iwahashi Iwahashi Lotte.
Shinichi Iwahashi laughed when he heard this, "Yes, I won't be able to wear a headband in private." He knew that his mother would come and planned for her, "If I come to Tokyo in advance, I can still play around in Tokyo now."
“It sounds pretty good.”
"If you want to go to a beauty salon, I'll help you book it first."
"Before watching the outdoor concert, it doesn't make sense even if you go to the beauty salon." These words were quite like Kazunashi Iwahashi.
Shin Iwahashi nodded and changed the topic, "And there is my sister's place..."
If the parents of Iwahashi family came to Tokyo, I wonder if they would meet the couple.
There are also tickets for the concert. I wonder if Chaozi is interested in watching it. However, based on his understanding of his sister, he probably would not be interested?
Well, Chaozi really has no interest in watching her younger brother pretend to be a giraffe man on stage.
However, my parents in my hometown were coming to Tokyo to watch the concert, and then agreed that we would gather together for a meal.
Shinichi Iwahashi's family is simple, so he reserves two tickets for his parents for his relationship. He also gives two tickets to Okada Yukiko who has been looking forward to watching the show, and asks her to call her friends to watch it together.
In addition, there are also acquaintances who know that he has a relationship with DREAMSCOMETRUE to come and ask for relationships. For example, if his daughter wants to see it, it is easy to digest twenty tickets.
Of course, I left one for my girlfriend.
Outdoor performances are not like indoor performances, where the seats are close together, and everyone seems to be watching the art report performance. They are all standing seats and the locations are scattered, so there is no need to call to book tickets on purpose.
The main reason is that the tickets are really popular. As soon as the ticket is issued, the ticket sales call is blown up, and all sold out in an hour, setting a record. For celebrities, the best is the most powerful.
A week before the performance, Shinichi Iwahashi took a break from his busy schedule and went to Akina Nakamori to sit and delivered the tickets to his door.
I accepted the tickets and was praised by my girlfriend, "Why are you so powerful?"
If this sentence was not said in his ear, it would be more like praise.
Shinichi Iwahashi was gently pulled at Akina Nakamori's hands, left and right ears, and looked at her smiling face. She wanted to move inconveniently, so she had to stare at her big eyes.
Sister Nian Shang saw Nian Xiajun's expression of deliberately pretending to be innocent, leaned forward, touched his lips, let go of his hand, touched his head, "It's all right away, wait."
Shinichi Iwahashi lowered his eyes, Akina Nakamori had already wiped his hands and began to wave the kitchen knife.
Come here to deliver tickets and have a meal.
The king of soft rice, Shinichi Iwahashi, had a slap in the abacus.
Last time I went to Akina Nakamori's concert, Shinichi Iwahashi got a sash. This time, there was nothing to give her. The concert of 40,000 people was watched from the stage, and there was only a crowd of people.
"No matter what dressing I do, Shinichi, you will definitely not see me." Akina Nakamori himself also knew it.
Shinichi Iwahashi reminded her, "And if you are too conspicuous in the audience, the people next to you don't know whether to watch the stands or look around you."
"Then you have to ask, of course it's in the stands... that's the audience for you."
Before I could watch the concert, Akina Nakamori spoke for the audience who were not hers.
"Yes." Shin Iwahashi nodded, "and you have to believe in the charm of the band."
Nakamori Paper Tiger was still talking for the audience in the previous sentence, but her back foot began to play tricks on Nianxiajun, "Yes, the band is more attractive."
Chapter completed!
