360. Disguise Failed

(Supplement)

The band's external leader is Masato Nakamura, and the external façade is undoubtedly Miwa-chan. Therefore, when making the album cover, she is undoubtedly immobile, and she must appear the most in the inside pages of the record.

The camera focuses on her, and this time I came to shoot the exterior scenes, and I prepared the most costumes for her.

But since it's a threesome, not her and her two nameless friends, it's impossible to take care of her alone. Whether it's Brother Nakamura or Shinichi Iwahashi, the band's mascot to the outside world, they all have their own place.

Although before the shooting, the makeup artist had to greet the foundation on the faces of Miwa-chan and Brother Nakamura, and the giraffe man Shinichi Iwahashi who didn't have to show his face was happy to have everything in his spare time, and it also saved the makeup artist a workload.

However, at the time of the official shooting, how to take a suitable photo for Shinichi Iwahashi, who does not show his face, will have to take a lot of effort from the team's small gray brain cells.

The band has a hooded member, and when shooting the album cover and inside page, you have to be a little strategic, you can take pictures that make people feel cute, but try not to take those photos that make people feel funny.

It's bad to be treated as a comedy artist.

This is considered at the very beginning and treated as a standard.

Since you want to set the standard, you must first determine where the line is. In the case of the band, that line should be "how much KIRIN-kun can be exposed".

When you go on stage, you wear a mask, but you don't have to do a dynamic or static photograph, and if you don't cover your face when you move, you will be exposed, but you can use certain techniques when taking photos.

After discussion, the standard is that you can take off the hood, but you don't show your face, and your back can be shown to the audience generously, anyway, Shinichi Iwahashi is not a big star who can be recognized by his back alone.

If that's the case, the way to take pictures will be a little more flexible.

Therefore, during the filming of these days, Shinichi Iwahashi also appeared from time to time, but often with his back to the camera. Although he doesn't wear a hood, in order to show that he is a giraffe man, he will use props appropriately.

For example, the team went out of their way to buy a plastic giraffe that was only 15 centimeters tall and placed it on his right shoulder during a set of photos.

Of course, it's not like you don't wear a headgear during shooting, and when the three of them appear at the same time, Shinichi Iwahashi often puts the headgear on well, and then he can take a photo that makes people laugh.

For example, the three of them grabbed the corner of the wall at the same time and poked their heads out, Miwa-chan and Nakamura Masato only showed the top part of their heads, but the giraffe man showed his ears and router because the target was too big.

Regarding such a picture taken by him, Miwa Chan laughed and said: Failure of disguise.

That's right.

If the three of them go together to do something that needs to be sneaky, then the giraffe man is the "pig teammate" who drags his feet.

......

On the fifth day of coming to London, the filming of this day began at the London Zoo.

In the oldest zoo in the world, you can see all kinds of wild animals, including giraffes.

The person who proposed to shoot at London Zoo was actually Miwa-chan, and when she was still in Tokyo, she took the travel brochure from CBS Sony back and read it, and the London Zoo was among the places she wanted to shoot.

Not only did she give advice on where she wanted to go, but she even gave her a little inspiration for the team at CBS Sony.

Originally, the giraffe hood at Asahiyama Zoo inspired her and made Shinichi Iwahashi the mascot of the band, but this time, Miwa-chan got inspiration from the zoo and came up with an idea of how to take a picture of Shinichi Iwahashi.

She herself didn't know anything about photography, so she could only talk about what was going on in her head, and this gesture was similar to how she was in the studio and she was asking for a piece to feel.

Not only that, but it is also specially accompanied by a picture drawn by her own hand, on which a person with his back to the camera, wearing a giraffe hood and looking at the giraffe, is specially accompanied by a line of commentary: KIRIN-kun who looks at Kirin-kun.

This touching drawing technique is the same as her use of line charts to express the tone of the song.

It can be seen that the experience is really the same.

In short, the idea was not rough, and this idea was not only interesting for Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura, but also for the person in charge of CBS Sony, so London Zoo became one of the locations for this location shooting.

After getting the photo application, after entering the park, Shinichi Iwahashi put on the giraffe hood again.

Although he plays the role of a giraffe man, it is actually the first time that he has actually seen a real giraffe. Shinichi Iwahashi belongs to the kind of people who don't like going to the zoo, and it doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't like it, but he has no interest in watching the animals in the zoo.

Looking at the real giraffe in front of me through the giraffe hood, the first thing that comes to mind is - the neck is really long and the size is really big. Shinichi Iwahashi sighed in his heart a little bored.

The real giraffe on the opposite side also spotted this strange guy and watched him vigilantly.

Then, the shooting began.

Under the direction of the photographer, Shinichi Iwahashi tried to pose in various poses, and the staff tried to keep the attention of the real giraffe at Shinichi Iwahashi.

Miwa-chan, who was also at the scene, and Masato Nakamura watched from the sidelines, both watching the lively expressions.

The one who can command people like Shinichi Iwahashi to turn around is probably a photographer. When Masato Nakamura thought of this, he looked at Shinichi Iwahashi who was asked by the photographer to do this, and thought it was funny.

Miwa-chan is looking forward to it in her heart, and when the filming is over, she will make fun of Shinichi Iwahashi. When someone like him shows a helpless expression, it is particularly interesting.

As soon as Shinichi Iwahashi finished taking the photo, he took off his hood, and when he looked over, he saw the gloating expressions of his two teammates, and he was speechless. No matter what time of day, there is always no shortage of teammates to watch the excitement.

The culprit, Miwa Sauce, ran to him with a grin, "Hard work, Shen Yijun~"

...... If you can stop laughing so badly, then I don't have to work so hard. Iwahashi Shinichi thought silently.

The hood was picked up by Shinji Kurishima, the agent sent by U-MIZ to follow, and Miwa-chan looked at Shinichi Iwahashi's hair that had been crushed by the hood, and although the gloating smile still hung on his face, he reached out and straightened his hair for him.

This action is done in one go and is extremely natural, and you can tell that it is a skilled worker at a glance.
