490. Awakening

DREAMS COME TRUE, as the only band in the red group, or the band with two men on the stage, the order of appearance is not up to the same.

They had squeezed into the same lounge as the white band, and now they had to walk a little more to the side of the red stage. Brother Nakamura has nothing to worry about, and walks in front to open the way, and Iwahashi Shinichi has to cooperate with Miwa-chan's speed, so he can only slow down.

"KIRIN-kun~"

"Huh?"

Miwa-chan told him, "Last night, my mother called me and said that the whole family would cheer us on today. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi heard this and replied, "I called Shizuoka's hometown and said that I would not go back this year and that I would participate in the Red and White Song Party." As a result, my father asked me, 'Do you have to order a boxed lunch again?'"

"Haha!" Miwa-chan laughed twice, and then remembered that it was backstage, so she quickly held back.

However, although he quickly reined in, the initial smile had already sent a blow to Iwahashi Shinichi with great precision.

......

After the performance at the Record Awards, Akina Nakamori got on the bus and rushed from the Budokan, where the awards were held, to NHK Hall, where the Red and White Song Festival was held.

In order to save time, the two helped Akina Nakamori remove her makeup and reapply her makeup, and changed into the costume of the record award in the car.

In addition to the clothes for the performance of the Red and White Song Party, a dress was also prepared for the opening appearance.

The last program of the last day was also the grandest.

It's not too close to get from the Budokan in Chiyoda Ward to NHK Hall in Shibuya. Fortunately, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and there are not many vehicles on the road, otherwise, it will be a challenge for Ben, a part-time driver.

The car drove into the parking lot of NHK HALL, and Akina Nakamori, who had already changed into her costume and put on makeup, walked into the inside of the venue, accompanied by her agent and two staff members.

Tonight, there were many singers like her who came from the Record Awards, and NHK staff answered them at the entrance and went to the side of the stage where they were standby.

After running around all night, it is better to hurry to the edge of the stage than to walk slowly to the standby of the backstage, so that you can take a break before the show.

Akina Nakamori thought so, and her steps were not slow.

Turning a hallway, she saw the giraffe man in the distance.

There are actually people coming and going in the corridor, but there is no one more eye-catching than the giraffe man in the backstage of the entire Red and White Song Club. He is also wearing a different outfit today than when we met yesterday, and it seems that he was prepared for the opening appearance.

He was tall, and a blue blazer was worn by him a little chic.

The most conspicuous giraffe man is seen first, and then the eyes fall on the others.

The three members of the band also seemed to be on their way to the standby, with Masato Nakamura walking in front, and Miwa Yoshida and Shinichi Iwahashi shoulder-to-shoulder, talking and laughing.

I don't know what to say, Miwa Yoshida let out two laughs, and restrained as if she had done something wrong.

Akina Nakamori looked down, and the hands of the two of them kept clasping together.

She tilted her head and blinked.

A staff member came over and passed by her, bowing to say hello.

The staff who followed her looked at her watch and assured her, "No problem, there's still plenty of time." ”

Hearing this, Akina Nakamori slowed down, "It's okay to walk over slowly." ”

"It's hard to run back and forth, isn't it?" said the staff with a very considerate expression.

Akina Nakamori let out a "hmm", slowed down, and the distance between her and the giraffe man became farther and farther. Miwa Yoshida, who was walking hand in hand with him, was so close.

DREAMS COME TRUE HAS A GOOD RELATIONSHIP, AND SHE KNOWS IT. I also heard Shinichi Iwahashi talk about the process of meeting Miwa Yoshida and forming a band.

She knows everything......

However, I can't tell the source of the discomfort in my heart.

The trio of the band turned the next corner of the hallway and disappeared from her sight. The backstage of the concert venue is like this, the twists and turns are like a maze, and if you are not careful, the person in front of you will disappear in front of you.

Akina Nakamori slowly walked to the standby on the side of the stage.

......

A large-scale music group, the singer has his own set of rules when he appears.

Basically, newcomers who make their debut are often arranged to take the lead, and big-name and veteran singers are responsible for pressing the final line. Other than that, the arrangement is more casual, but it's better to let the older and more popular ones appear a little further down in the order.

This year, whether it is the red group or the white group, there are many singers who make their debut.

The red team arranged for Miho Nakayama and Shizuka Kudo, two super popular idols of the year, to serve as the openers.

Although Miho Nakayama's singing skills are explosive (so bad), it does not prevent her from becoming a popular idol, not only that, but she is also quite smooth on the road to transforming into an actor, and she will star in the Yuejiu drama in January next year.

And Shizuka Kudo, after graduating from the kitten club, when the original teammates were out of gas at the speed of light to find out that there was no such person, she started her own big killing Quartet mode, and her popularity in the "Idol Four Heavenly Kings" was far ahead.

Akina Nakamori debuted this year for seven years, and has just completed the title of god at this year's awards, and on the stage of the Red and White Song Club, she belongs to singers with popularity, qualifications and status, and the order of appearance is also ranked last.

Of course, the one in charge of pressing the formation is still an old qualified boss like Sachiko Kobayashi, just as the white group is responsible for pressing the formation is the singing boss Saburo Kitajima.

Nowadays, when singing is still regarded as orthodox on state-run stations, it is still difficult for non-singing singers to finalize the red and white song party.

Backstage before the opening, like an auditorium for an elementary school's Monday morning assembly, the "orderly" staff guided the singers to line up in the order of appearance, and reported the time every five minutes.

Standby boring, close to the female singer who coincidentally has a good relationship, can still chat a few words quietly, she is not familiar, and the people next to her are not familiar, so she only has the opportunity to relax.

In this gap, there are not one or two people who go to see the giraffe man.

He is tall himself, and he is in the backstage where female singers are gathered, coupled with the increase in the height of the hood, at a glance, he is the most conspicuous.

Moreover, wearing a hood and not seeing his face, such an image subtly makes the female singers have no obstacles when they look at him, and they don't care if he will find out.

Akina Nakamori left it empty for a while, tilted her head, and her eyes fell on the giraffe man.

When he came here to standby, he and Miwa Yoshida didn't talk anymore, facing the wall. Miwa Yoshida's expression was very nervous at first glance. Through the hood, I don't know what kind of expression Shinichi Iwahashi is.

She suddenly remembered the game she had played yesterday to guess the expression through the hood.

At this time, I heard the sound of taiko drums coming from the stage in front of me to the backstage, almost drowning out the sound of the staff reminding me to prepare for the stage.

This year's Red and White Song Festival has begun.
