When commenting on Keiko Terada, a music critic said, "Girl, you're such a man!"

However, after watching Joan Jett's performance, when he left the stage through the relational passage, Iwahashi thought that if he were to write a post-viewing music review, he would definitely add, "Girl, you are really a man's uncle!"

Cowhide is not blown, and Tarzan is not heaped.

The level of Joan Jett's live performances is a small handful of female rock musicians at the apex — and there is no room for even this slap in the face.

After watching her live, while being impressed, Iwahashi consciously compared the live performance level of the female rock musician.

It can't be helped, love comparison is innate.

Then, instead, he confirmed in his heart that the female rock musicians were excellent, believing that they were not inferior to her.

To be precise, rather than winning or losing, it is better to say that they have their own merits and have their unique stage charm. Joan Jett is a rock celebrity, but she is also accompanied by excellent musicians like Show-Ya, Mari Hamada, and Nokko.

Self-reflection instead gave Iwahashi the confidence to negotiate.

What is true self-confidence?

Neither worship foreign flattery, nor self-esteem, nor exalt oneself by belittling others.

Before leaving the Budokan and agreeing to come to the door, Shinichi Iwahashi first found a phone booth and called Joan Jett's agent to confirm that he was going to visit later, and then stopped the taxi.

Shinichi Iwahashi goes shirtless, ready to reason with Joan Jett. But when he finally saw the main master, he found that he had miscalculated the situation, and it was not him who beat him shirtless, but Joan Jett.

Yes, Joan Jett is enjoying the horse slaughter, and Shinichi Iwahashi can still see the tattoo on her arm at this moment.

Talking about things while enjoying the horses killing the chickens? Okay.

The staff who brought him up to greet Joan Jett was enough time for him to think in his mind that if he had tattooed his arm like this, he would probably be turned away from the hot springs and public baths.

Of course, she has the money to charter the venue.

At this moment, Joan Jett turned her face sideways and raised her eyes to look at him—without prejudice or ill-feeling, like a child looking at something new that he had never seen before.

Then, "Hello. She lifted the corners of her mouth.

That's the smile. It's exactly the same as when she was discharging on stage.

This reminded Shinichi Iwahashi of his terrible experience of watching the performance just now, and took the initiative to say, "I came from the venue of the concert. ”

"Thank you. ”

"The show was fantastic, but my experience was very unpleasant. Iwahashi said. "Because I happen to be sitting in the area where you need to behave properly. ”

"I thought to myself, this is a terrible experience, so I decided to organize a festival where you can get out of the way and let yourself go. ”

Joan Jett looked at him, "I've heard that you're running a music festival. ”

"Yes. Shinichi Iwahashi replied, "An all-female rock festival that has never been seen before in the world. ”

"That sounds cool. "But why would there be a women-only festival?"

"I used to be an agent for an underground band, and it is said that a successful agent is one who has the insight to be good and can sell it to the world. ”

"There are a lot of great female rock musicians in the country, but they don't have the attention they need. I knew how good they were, and then I thought that there were more great female rock musicians outside of this country, so I hoped that there would be a way for more people to focus on female rock here. ”

"I feel like you're boasting about yourself. Joan Jett blinked, "Are you a successful agent?"

Shinichi Iwahashi said unhurriedly, "If you come to the show, at least you can confirm that I have a good eye at the festival." But that's only half the story. ”

"The other half, if I can mobilize you to participate in the performance, and the festival is successfully held, so that the other half can show everyone's excellence in front of the world, and this can be done, it will be 100%. ”

"So, whether you're really successful or not depends on my choice?" Joan Jett seemed to find something funny, like a child suddenly realizing that the switch in his hand can determine whether the traffic light turns red or green.

"Yes, that's how important you are. "This is true for everyone, including me, who came to lobby. ”

"Interesting. Joan Jett smiled.

After laughing, she asked, "Why did you think of letting me go to the show?"

"Because you bring with you a kind of hope that happens to be lacking in female rock. Shinichi Iwahashi said, "In the field of female rock and roll, there is you in the world, but there is a lack of characters like you. ”

"You mean business grades?"

"You've got a good business record, and there's really a lack of commercially successful female rockers in the world. But what I value more than that is that you give women rock 'n' roll guidance and hope to fight forward. ”

"......" Joan Jett didn't answer, but, it seems, the words seemed to touch her.

Shinichi Iwahashi appropriately instigated, "The field of rock and roll has always been dominated by men. Isn't it cool enough to be in a situation where women who love rock and roll and are willing to make a career out of it pick up their instruments, stand on stage, sing their own songs, and express themselves in the midst of prejudice?"

"It's just rock 'n' roll. Joan Jett said.

Isn't that the case herself? Since she was a child, she has loved rock music, but she is surrounded by boys forming bands. She mingled in these bands as a lead singer and sometimes as a musician.

Why can't female rock succeed? What is lacking in female rock 'n' roll?

Joan Jett couldn't figure out the answer to this question, so she decided to form a band with only girls and spend her life searching for the answer to this question.

"You're so cool, so rock. And now, I'm going to gather cool women from different countries like you to come and perform, pick up musical instruments, stand on stage, sing their own songs, and express themselves, isn't that cool?"

"It's so cool. She seemed to be being led by the nose by Shinichi Iwahashi, and she asked and agreed.

Until now, she has not figured out the answer to this question. However, one important thing I found was that this field is not an unchallengeable field for women, because she is a living success story.

"So...... Why don't you come and join us? as the coolest one. ”

Joan Jett paused, thought for a moment, and looked at him, "You have a good way of talking. ...... Rock?"

"My name is Shinichi. Shinichi Iwahashi introduced himself again.

It has to be said that the eyes of a foreigner with deep contours are indeed charming, and the racial talent cannot be envied.

"Okay...... Shinichi?" Joan Jett repeated. He asked, "Are you going to have a big music festival?"

"Of course. Shinichi Iwahashi replied with great certainty, "If you want to confirm, I have also brought the relevant information here." ”

"Rather than confirming ......the information," Joan Jett invited Shinichi Iwahashi, "Shinichi, are you going to sit at the bar later? ”

Being able to hold a second meeting, Iwahashi Shinichi seemed to see the little red flag of victory waving in the wind, and immediately agreed, "Of course." ”

After a while, Joan Jett's horse killing was over, and Shinichi Iwahashi waited in the living room until she was ready.

This time, there was neither the masseur who was silently killing chickens next to him, nor the staff around Joan Jett, and the two of them talked about the music festival while drinking a little wine.

"Tomorrow, are you going to the Budokan again? ”

Iwahashi thought for a moment, "I can try to buy a ticket for the scene." If you buy it successfully, you will go in. However, even if you can't buy a ticket, you don't want to sit in the same seat as you are sitting outside with people who haven't bought tickets, listening to the leaky sound and cheering for you. ”

"Okay...... I'm looking forward to seeing you at the show. Joan Jett thought for a moment, and then said to him, "If you can't buy a ticket, you can go and listen to the leakage, and cheer with everyone outside." After that, I'll tell you my answer. ”

If you want to know the answer, you have to do the task first?, Iwahashi thought to himself. But I still agreed first.

Seventy-two bows have been bowed, not bad for this trembling.

The next day, at the office, Watanabe Manyumi called him over and asked him, "How is it going?"

Iwahashi Shinchi told her Joan Jett's strange request, and said with a wry smile: "I knew that I would have booked tickets before the show started." ”

Watanabe Manyumi smiled, "What's so hard about this. "Prepare to get the phone.

When Iwahashi saw it, he reminded: "If it's a related person sitting at the table, forget it, I told Joan Jett that if I can't buy an ordinary seat, I'll go outside and listen to the leak." ”

Not just for the sake of keeping the covenant, but also for his own sake.

Sitting in the relationship seat and listening to rock and roll, coming a few more times, it will not suffocate people to death, it will suffocate people crazy.

"Don't worry. Watanabe Manyumi's hand was still on the earpiece.

After saying this, she picked up the receiver, dialed the phone, and commanded a few words. He hung up the phone and said to Shinichi Iwahashi, "I'll ask someone to buy you a ticket for a regular seat." ”

"Thank you, it's a boss. Iwahashi said.

Watanabe Manyumi made him scream like this and laughed loudly. I don't know where to poke her laughter.

The domineering president is reliable, and in the afternoon, Watanabe Manyumi's secretary sent today's tickets. Shinichi Iwahashi took the ticket, counted the time, packed his things and went to the concert.

The location of the ticket given by Watanabe Manyumi is very good, in the middle. Iwahashi Shinichi sat down, fifteen minutes before the performance, and at a cursory glance in the venue, it was all full of people, and it must still be full.

To his left is a quiet-looking girl, who looks more like she haunts a piano concert than she does to Joan Jett.

You can’t judge a book by its cover.

The seat to his right was still empty, and Iwahashi thought to himself, wondering what kind of person would sit here.

Ten minutes were left, and the late spectators were entering the arena in twos and threes, and the people in the aisle were coming up and down, when a young woman came over while looking for a seat.

She wears sunglasses and dresses very fashionably - to be precise, it is completely different from the current popularity among ordinary girls, but that kind of outfit, although it does not follow the trend, just has a very fashionable, very foreign, and self-contained style.

"How could it be her?!" Iwahashi Shinichi was taken aback as he watched her walk over and recognized her at a glance.

The young woman sat down on his right-hand side, straightening her clothes and not taking off her sunglasses. Iwahashi Shinichi was very surprised, but he couldn't bear to talk to her.

Unexpectedly, she obviously came in civilian clothes again, and it was a little rude to alarm her rashly.

At this time, the lights in the venue dimmed, and the show was about to begin!

As if boiling water, and like a rising tide, the venue began to stir, and the audience rose to their feet. Shinichi Iwahashi also stood up, and the young woman next to him also took off her sunglasses and stood up.

At this moment, everyone is focused on the stage in front of them, and no one is willing to pay any attention to the people around them.

Even Shinichi Iwahashi didn't take the opportunity to turn his head to confirm his judgment just now.

The young woman who took off her sunglasses is Akina Nakamori, the most popular idol star in the whole world at this moment.

It's still a familiar leather coat, or a familiar king fried.

When Joan Jett stood on the stage and opened her voice, it immediately ignited the atmosphere of the audience. This time, without the restraint of the righteous stakeholders, Iwahashi Shinichi completely let go and became dry.

Joan Jett and her musicians, who are experienced on stage, deftly control the atmosphere of the whole room between their fingers, sometimes letting go, sometimes restricting, sometimes evoking regular interaction, and the wonderful thing is that the audience, who have never rehearsed, are so mobilized, at least for the duration of this performance, that they become her followers.

Iwahashi Shinichi forgot that he had come with a mission and threw himself into Joan Jett's performance. Until the end of the show, he was blown up by Joan Jett.

It's the end of another song. The music stopped on stage, and only the non-stop cheers poured into Joan Jett on stage. At this time, she did not continue to sing, but spoke:

"Thank you, I am very happy to perform in the two days at the Budokan and I am honored to be invited to Saymoto again. I was told that there was going to be a music festival here that brought together women from all over the world......"

Hearing this, the rest of the audience still didn't know anything, no one had ever heard of such a music festival, and in the entire venue, only Shinichi Iwahashi himself knew what was going on.

Thinking of what she might be about to say, Iwahashi held his breath in his consciousness.

Joan Jett on stage said: "And I'm very happy to be a part of this festival. ”

It's as if a bombshell was dropped at the Budokan!

After a moment of silence, the audience, who had no idea what was happening, seemed to have exploded. There are doubts, there are cheers - even the cheering people don't know what they are cheering about.

Only Shinichi Iwahashi himself said, "It's a success!"

Akina Nakamori on the right side heard this sentence and subconsciously turned her head to look at him.

Iwahashi Shinichi, who was in a state of excitement, couldn't help but look left and right, just hating that no one shared the joy of success at this moment. As a result, when I turned my head, I collided with Akina Nakamori's eyes.
