039. One More Time
I don't know who started first, and with this "Get down!", the audience crackled like lit firecrackers, bursting into gunpowder-smelling invective.
"Get down!"
"Don't get in the way here!"
"You ugly girl!"
Wait, ugly girl?
The audience's attacks and abuses against Haruko Akamatsu can also be heard clearly backstage.
For those simple and simple "get out", Iwahashi Shinichi didn't react yet, and if he didn't take this anger, there would be no way for the performance to start. Only when he heard this sentence "ugly girl", in his heart, he suddenly had a feeling that anger would really blind people's eyes.
It's obviously a face that can make lost young people fall in love with basketball, and it's worthy of the name "Haruko".
When Haruko Akamatsu is said to be an ugly girl, doesn't the audience's conscience really hurt? Or does it really mean that when people get angry, they really become half blind?
Shinichi Iwahashi thought silently in his heart.
Why is she so hostile? She has been treated as an unforgivable sinner without doing anything.
Of course, in such a situation, he can still be free to wander around his thoughts, which proves that he is not nervous because of the previous situation. The bell needs to be tied to the bell, and it is the band, to be precise, Haruko Akamatsu herself, who can resolve the hostility of the audience.
The band's previous lead singer was male, and during his tenure, there were quite a few women in their fan base. The band suddenly changed its lead singer and bassist, which was originally a major event that shook its foundation, and the new lead singer was still a big beauty......
The more beautiful it is, the more angry it is.
Women are really hard to love women.
was treated like this when she first appeared on stage, and Haruko Akamatsu was stunned for a few seconds. In the first eighteen years of her life, she had never faced such a situation.
Tatsuya Hirakawa said she might have to suffer some protests, but she didn't expect it to be so violent. She subconsciously went to look at Tatsuya Hirakawa, but the other party just nodded at her lightly, and then sent a signal to the drummer Koyanagi Shofa.
Hearing the start of counting beats, Haruko Akamatsu came to her senses and tightened her grip on the microphone.
Intertwined with the prelude to the guitar is the unending boos and attacks from the audience. These are two completely different situations from the tolerance and enthusiasm of everyone when performing at the school festival.。
Haruko Akamatsu didn't know that the audience turned out to be such a cruel existence.
But she was able to stay calm and not be frightened by the audience's scolding. She listened carefully to the intro, searching for the beat. Kicking off with the band's original song, Haruko Akamatsu's voice was smoothly picked up after the prelude.
It seems to be a good swim, but he always pays attention to Iwahashi Shinichi in front of the stage, and he is relieved to hear this smooth first sentence. I thought to myself, Haruko Akamatsu's heart was much tougher than the "shy and crying little lady" that Akihito Takeuchi conveyed to him.
...... It's a pity that he was happy a little early.
After she spoke, the scolding from the audience did not subside, but intensified, as if she would not be driven off the stage, and she would not stop crying on the spot.
"It's a terrible singing!"
"What are you singing?"
"Get back here!"
At this point, something is a little wrong. Haruko Akamatsu, who was stable at the beginning, began to swaying and floating. She flinched a little.
Aware of this, the audience booed even more.
Iwahashi Shinichi had been in the underground music scene for a few months, and it was the first time he had seen such an ostracism. Just when I was worried about Haruko Akamatsu and the band - the sound stopped.
Haruko Akamatsu suddenly stopped singing. The musicians were shaken by her, stunned, and stopped playing. Even the audience in the audience stopped for a while because of this sudden change.
There was an unusual silence ahead.
The people in the background have already started to talk about it. This is already a performance accident and must be resolved as soon as possible.
As the agent who came with this band, the staff had already given him a reproachful look. Iwahashi Shinichi was anxious, but he didn't bother to apologize to the staff, but paid close attention to everything in front of the stage.
After the silence, Haruko Akamatsu poured into more merciless boos and scolding than before.
After she exposed her weakness, as if she had found the focus of her attack, the crusade from the audience became more and more intense - the water dogs were only enjoyable when they fought.
If the band can't resolve this crisis, they won't want to stand on a decent stage in the future.
And just before the staff was ready to let the band leave the stage first and stop the performance, suddenly, the prelude to the song just started to play on the stage again.
The staff stopped, and Shinichi Iwahashi pricked up his ears to listen.
It was Haruko Akamatsu - it was she who sent the signal of "one more time" to Tatsuya Hirakawa.
The boos and scolding she suffered after the defeat, the more Haruko Akamatsu listened to it, the calmer her heart became.
She suddenly realized how stupid it was to show weakness in front of the audience.
Either way, the show had to go on, and if she threw in the towel here, she couldn't succeed in anything else – she tried to gain strength from those dismissive glances.
She turned her head and whispered "one more time" to Tatsuya Hirakawa, who was a little confused but still smiled at her.
In fact, in this venue, her fluttering words, Hirakawa Tatsu couldn't hear it clearly, but looking at her expression, he could guess what she said.
He breathed a sigh of relief and once again sent a signal to Koyanagi Shofa to start.
The sound of musical instruments playing is heard again.
After the prelude, Haruko Akamatsu picked it up smoothly.
"It's so thick-skinned!"
"Can you still sing like this?!"
But this time, she turned a deaf ear to the audience's scolding, but felt very bored.
The more this happens, the more it shows the shallowness of these people, and the more it proves that these people's attacks are ridiculous and meaningless.
I'm here to sing, and it's casual to serve the audience—
Haruko Akamatsu's voice became more and more stable, and she didn't think about anything other than singing.
In this way, music became her best weapon to fight back.
After getting into the groove, the rest of ABNORMAL also performed hard, and as song after song was sung, there were still people in the audience who booed or simply made gestures of indifference, but the scolding finally subsided.
Although various situations began to occur, in the end they still did not collapse and escape, and after adjustment, they persevered in this performance under the baptism of scolding from the audience.
When the band's performance got into the groove, Shinichi Iwahashi came out of his spirits and apologized to the staff.
Iwahashi felt that the Haruko Akamatsu he saw was two completely different people from the Haruko Akamatsu that Akihito Takeuchi had told him.
Akihito Takeuchi seems to have a one-sided understanding of his cousin with wishful thinking.
After the performance, she retreated backstage and looked around at the staff, the manager, and the musicians of the band, except for guitarist Tatsuya Hirakawa, everyone had a puffed expression.
"It was a terrible day. ”
