040. A good pot and a good lid
The atmosphere is really not good.
The staff thought about it for a moment before slowly saying, "Such a band, to be honest, performs here, I think it's really embarrassing." β
Iwahashi Shinichi had never heard such heavy words.
When they were with Miwa Yoshida, both of them had a more firmness than ordinary people and an ideal sense of "no one" for the performance, so there has never been such an outrageous thing.
The band they worked with had never done anything like that.
Hearing this, the face of the newly joined bassist Tomohisa Kawazoe changed, and the face of the drummer Koyanagi Shofa was not good-looking. Only the captain Tatsuya Hirakawa still looked as usual, and then Haruko Akamatsu, who caused the performance accident, couldn't see anything on her expression.
At such times, she is too calm, but it is more likely to annoy people than to be depressed.
After the staff left, the new bassist Tomohisa Kawa said in a stiff tone, "I'm going outside to smoke." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Iwahashi Shinichi ignored him and only spoke to Haruko Akamatsu.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to ask you, Akamatsu-san-"
Haruko Akamatsu raised her eyes and looked at him.
Those eyes were calm to the point of nothingness, and Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but miss Miwa Yoshida and even Masashi Amaya, who seemed to him to be very beautiful despite Haruko Akamatsu's lack of sincerity when dealing with people.
"Shy and crying little lady", Akihito Takeuchi's misunderstanding of his cousin is probably not ordinarily deep.
"Akamatsu-san, do you understand what the show is all about?"
Hearing this, Haruko Akamatsu lowered her gaze slightly and did not answer. However, it was not an escaping silence, but rather waiting for his next words.
"It's never just for the people who applaud and cheer at you. However, it's not just for people who boo and ridicule you. β
"If you are complacent because you are cheered, or if you are booed and then you retreat, you will never be able to go further. And most importantly, I want you to understand that you are in a band, so please consider the feelings of your teammates in any case. β
Actually, it doesn't hurt if he doesn't say these things. Today he was only entrusted by Minejima to come over to lead the team once, and the band performance was messed up, which had no effect on him, but he felt unhappy.
After saying this, Iwahashi Shinichi left first - to apologize to the head of the club.
After he left, the air fell silent for a moment. Koyanagi Shofa looked at Haruko Akamatsu and then at Tatsuya Hirakawa, who pulled her in, and said nothing.
The one who broke the silence was Tatsuya Hirakawa, who said to Haruko Akamatsu, "Standing on stage, you shouldn't let the music stop." But you can keep singing, and it's not bad yet......"
It was the gentlest word Haruko Akamatsu had ever heard tonight.
Comforted, she was not relieved by this, on the contrary, she suddenly felt a heavy burden.
ββ
Two days after the messed up performance, Akihito Takeuchi asked Shinichi Iwahashi to meet outside.
"I'd like you to meet my sister's band. He said on the phone.
Shinichi Iwahashi really wanted to tell him that not only had I seen your sister and her band, but I also witnessed a performance because she messed up.
...... Having said that, he still agreed to meet Akihito Takeuchi.
Iwahashi Shinichi stepped on the order to the place where the meeting was made, and when he entered the store, Akihito Takeuchi had already arrived. There is no need to go out of his way to look for him, his team looks "spectacular" in the store.
Four young people and a big beautiful woman sat at the same table, and it was strange that they couldn't see it at a glance.
The first to notice him coming in was Akihito Takeuchi, who facilitated this meeting, and as soon as he found him, he quickly waved his hand, "Iwahashi, this way!"
Iwahashi Shinichi approached, and Akihito Takeuchi introduced him to Haruko Akamatsu first, "This is my sister, these peopleβ"
Tatsuya Hirakawa smiled, "Takeuchi-san, we've met. β
"Not only have I seen it," said Koyanagi Masaya, "two days ago, Iwahashi took us to perform once. β
"Really?" Akihito Takeuchi's expression, as if he had been shot falsely, smiled and blamed Iwahashi Shinichi, "Don't tell me sooner." He relaxed again, "That's a lot easier to say." β
No, it's hard to say. Everyone present, probably except for Akihito Takeuchi, thought so.
Because two days ago, the band just contributed a rare performance accident and made a big ugly appearance in front of Shinichi Iwahashi.
"You may already know each other, but I'd like to say a few words for Iwahashi. He's the best agent I've ever known, so I wanted to introduce him to you, especially Haruko, anyway. β
"Spare me. Iwahashi smiled wryly.
Akihito Takeuchi blows hard enough. However, he did not lie at all. Because he knows Shinichi Iwahashi, an agent, this is really the truth.
"Iwahashi does have a certain talent. Unexpectedly, Tatsuya Hirakawa, the core of the band, took the lead in expressing his affirmation of him, "He knows very well what the 'stage' is." If the band follows Iwahashi, then I don't have a problem. β
"Then I don't have much to say. Koyanagi Shofa also said.
Tomohisa Kawazoe said bluntly, "The current band really lacks a person who is so clear. Again, Haruko Akamatsu was addressing her, because she was someone who needed to understand this urgently.
Haruko Akamatsu didn't say anything, she looked at Shinichi Iwahashi and didn't speak, as if waiting for him to make a decision.
This is the lead singer of the band who has seen all the ugliness of the band. However, Shinichi Iwahashi remembered not only that she stopped during the performance, but also that after she stopped, she quickly adjusted herself and continued to finish singing.
She did not run away, although she had exposed a moment of timidity.
As the first official stage stage, to this extent, it cannot be said that it is a complete failure.
As a result, Shinichi Iwahashi has not yet been directly judged as a "failure" by this band as Mineshima did. On the contrary, he believes that the musicians are talented, and Haruko Akamatsu's performance is not bad yet.
In addition, today, in the face of Shinichi Iwahashi, who had seen her defeat with his own eyes, Haruko Akamatsu did not have a look of dodging at all, which gave Shinichi Iwahashi enough reason to believe that Haruko Akamatsu had room for improvement.
It's nice to be solid at the beginning, but it's also a valuable character to be able to recover immediately after failure.
Of course, the tolerance of ABNORMAL is also related to the fact that he is now empty-handed, and he can't find a better person to bring.
An agent who is not experienced enough but can cope with the day-to-day situation, and a band that has just undergone restructuring and failure to run-in, can be regarded as a good pot with a good lid to some extent.
