313. Whimsical
"Congratulations!"
After the show ended and the band returned to the backstage, there were people around from time to time who sent this sentence.
Among the bands that have competed on the same stage, there are some who leave silently after the competition, and at the same time, there are also those who congratulate the winners like this. In addition to the bands that have competed together, the staff in the background know the whole program process, and they are not hesitant to say "congratulations" in the face of the freshly baked KING.
And every time she received such a congratulation, Miwa Yoshida smiled and replied "Thank you!" and thanked the person who congratulated them like a girl.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura followed behind her, happy to let Miwa-chan be the face of the question-and-answer department, and had no intention of stealing the limelight from her.
This situation did not last long, and after receiving a brief congratulations, the three of them were invited by the TV station staff to the lounge where they had been talking after winning the first few victories.
Of course, there will not be dozens of representatives waiting there to prepare to open conditions to grab people, waiting there are the staff who were responsible for communicating with them before.
It was already late at the end of the show, and it was impossible to negotiate a contract overnight after the end of the competition.
Besides, not only did the band have to take a break, but the various studios and record companies on the table showed their willingness to sign with the band, but now it was only a verbal greeting, and the details had to be discussed after they returned, and then they would list the terms they could give.
That's when the real fate is decided.
Before, on stage, it was the bands who showed their abilities, but then the situation turned into a situation where record companies and studios tried to win their hearts.
Because of this, after the end of the show, the delegates retreated first, and the three bands were invited to the lounge by the staff, and after a brief communication, they confirmed a time before conducting follow-up negotiations.
And during this time, they can also think about what they want first.
The whole communication lasted short, and half an hour later, the three of them were already sitting in Nakamura Masato's Suzuki's small lunch box.
Whether it is a giraffe, a little fox or Winnie the Pooh, they are all in a very uplifted mood and want to celebrate.
Considering that this time has passed, instead of looking for a store that is open all night, it is better to go directly to the convenience store to buy some beer and snacks and go back to Yoyogi's recording studio to celebrate.
After deciding down, Masato Nakamura started the car and slowly drove the car out of the parking lot.
Turning onto the main road, Iwahashi Shinichi took off the giraffe hood, he was very experienced, and he knew that his hair must have been crushed without looking in the mirror, and he snorted twice with his hand.
This series of actions was exchanged for a string of laughter from Miwa-chan.
She was also very skilled at taking the hood from Shinichi Iwahashi, holding it in her arms, and looking at him with a grin.
"What's wrong?"
Shin'ichi Iwahashi glanced at her and asked.
She shook her head while laughing, "Shen Yijun, we won, right?"
"Yes, won. "The next step is to sign a contract with a record company and prepare for my debut." β
After receiving this answer, Miwa-chan habitually touched the deer with her chin and muttered, "It's incredible." β
"Incredible?"
"Hmm...... It was something close at hand, and suddenly I felt like I didn't know what to do next. β
Shinichi Iwahashi can probably understand Miwa-chan's mood.
This feeling is like a novice village full level, ready to change the map to enter the main city, although I am looking forward to it, but, because everything around me has become unfamiliar, I also feel a little at a loss.
"It's simple. He thought for a moment and told her, "Wouldn't it be nice to set a debut goal." β
"We've been working so hard to make our mainstream debut. Now that the first goal has been achieved, it's time for a new schedule. β
"yes. β
Like a frog, Miwa-chan puffed up and retracted her cheeks, and thought for a moment, "My words, I want to be a singer like Yumi-san, and then, as long as I can sing for the rest of my life." β
Masato Nakamura in the driver's seat listened, and took over with a smile: "It's okay to be Yushi-san, but the latter sentence, it's almost the same as not saying it, and the goal should be something clearer." β
When she was in Hokkaido, Miwa Yoshida's dream of "wanting to be a singer like Yumi Matsurenya" was ridiculed, but now, her two teammates have recognized her dream and don't feel unrealistic at all.
"Then what is Masato-san's goal?" Miwa-chan asked in turn, not to be outdone.
The reason why he is not to be outdone is actually a hidden gratitude to Masato Nakamura. For Masato Nakamura, who does not ridicule and recognizes her dreams, Miwa Yoshida will also support his dreams.
"My goals are much more detailed. β
Masato Nakamura drove his Suzuki lunch box with a smile on his face, and his mouth was like a lion's mouth: "If you want me to say, the goal is to have an album that sells more than one million copies, and then go abroad, and the single wins the Billboard championship, and it is best to win the Grammy Award again, and all the records combined, the total sales of more than 50 million copies." β
"It's amazing!" Miwa-chan exclaimed, "I didn't expect Masato-san to think about these things every day." β
"It's really amazing. Iwahashi Shinichi also added fuel and vinegar, "It is worthy of being a righteous man." β
"However, if you aim for that, you will be motivated every day. Miwa-chan finished shouting and began to express her feelings after listening, "It's too difficult to achieve, so you can't do it without working hard." β
Miwa-chan, who said these words, looks as innocent as a girl, but it doesn't make people feel naΓ―ve at all. I didn't feel that Nakamura's words were unrealistic.
Masato Nakamura listened to her feelings and was happy.
Shinichi Iwahashi was thoughtful, remembering that when she first met Miwa Yoshida, she claimed to herself that she wanted to become a singer like Yumi Matsutoya.
Mei Yoshida and her friends from her hometown in Hokkaido see her dream as whimsical.
With this dream that is regarded as whimsical, and then, cheering for someone else's dream that sounds even more whimsical, such a beauty and sauce have an innocent and precious character.
"So, what is Shin'ichi-kun's dream?" Miwa-chan finished questioning Masato Nakamura and came to interrogate Shinichi Iwahashi again.
Iwahashi Shinichi was prepared early in the morning, and replied with a smile: "My dream is to realize the dream of the two of you." β
Just as he doesn't laugh at and supports Miwa-chan's dreams, he also supports Nakamura's dreams - although this guy's dreams really sound like a lion's mouth, and it's very suspenseful no matter how you listen to it.
However, if people don't have some bold dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish?
"Eh~ This answer is really cunning. Miwa-chan pouted.
Masato Nakamura smiled, "This dream is much more difficult to achieve than the dream of me and Miwa-chan." β
Of course.
However, as the mastermind behind this band, Shinichi Iwahashi is trying to find a way to make the band go to a higher place and let the band's songs be heard by more people. For this reason, it is necessary to shoulder the dreams of these two teammates.
Having said that, the members of this band called "Dreams Come True" are really dreaming boldly and unreliable.
......
Celebrating all night, the three of them took a makeshift break in the studio.
The only sofa was given to the oldest old bone (mistakenly) Brother Nakamura, Miwa-chan went to the recording studio to lay on the floor, and Iwahashi Shinichi simply lay on the table and squinted for a while, waiting for the morning train to start running.
It was difficult to fall asleep on the table, and Iwahashi Shinichi slept for a while and woke up for a while, dazed, and when he felt that the sky was about to dawn, he suddenly felt someone poke him in the face.
One, two, three or four......
He opened his eyes and saw Miwa-chan standing there.
Miwa-chan...... He was dazed and closed his eyes again.
Five, six, seven or eight......
Yes, Miwa-chan began to poke his face again, and while poking, she also leaned into his ear and called him, "Shen Yijun~"
"Huh?"
Shin Iwahashi got goosebumps and sobered up a lot.
I sat up straight, stretched, and looked at my watch, it was not yet five o'clock. The bones on the table were a little stiff, and he twisted his shoulders and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Shh~" Miwa-chan gestured at him and pointed to the sofa.
Brother Nakamura is still sleeping soundly, but with this energy, I'm afraid he won't wake up if he throws him out of the sack, and Miwa-chan's worry is absolutely superfluous.
"Did you wake up so early?" Still, Shinichi Iwahashi lowered his voice.
Miwa-chan let out a "hmm" and whispered, "Actually, I didn't fall asleep." She said this, her tone paused, "I've been thinking about things." β
"Thinking about something?" Iwahashi Shinichi surveyed her face.
Miwa-chan's face without makeup is tired and slightly puffy from a night of sleep. Seeing her face, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but think in his heart that his face might not look good now.
It's cool all night, and I panic in the mirror.
"I think about Hibiya Field Public Hall. Miwa-chan told him.
Iwahashi Shin thought about it for a moment and understood.
......
Suzuki's small lunch box is driving slowly on the streets in the early morning - you can't get up as fast as you want. And Tokyo, which seems to never stop all day long, is also rare to have a little laziness that is about to wake up at this time.
Although only a little bit.
Shinichi Iwahashi drove the car, Miwa-chan sat in the passenger seat, a newspaper spread out on her lap, and the entertainment section still set aside a quarter of the page to report on last night's show.
"DREAMS COME TRUE!"
Miwa-chan read the title in bold and said to Iwahashi Shinichi, "I've already said it once, but I still think it's incredible." β
The "incredible" here certainly does not refer to the fact that they won the championship.
"Set aside the layout in advance. Iwahashi guessed what she was thinking, and he took the trouble to explain, "If we don't win the championship, we will have a spare draft." β
Miwa-chan nodded, "So, it's amazing." Turning his face away, he looked out the window at the view of being thrown behind him, "It's early." β
"yes. Iwahashi shunk-in-cheek.
It's 5:20 a.m., and it's been about five hours since they took the band's Heavenly King.
Ten minutes ago, after a brief wash of his face, Shinichi Iwahashi took the key to Nakamura's Suzuki's lunch box from the coffee table in the studio, left a note with instructions, and then drove Miwa-chan in the direction of Hibiya Park.
Incidentally, the newspaper was bought after leaving the studio and passing by the newsstand. Probably after reading the report of BEGIN's victory, Miwa-chan had this idea in her heart and bought a newspaper printed with DREAMS COME TRUE winning the championship in the early morning.
......
Approaching the place, Iwahashi Shinichi found a parking lot, put the car away, and walked to Hibiya Park with Miwa-chan.
This area is not as crowded as Shibuya or Shinjuku, and at this time, there are few pedestrians on the streets.
This couple, who apparently stayed up all night, would probably have just come out of a love hotel if they were walking down the streets of Shibuya or Shinjuku. But walking here, one can't guess where they came from and where they are going.
At the end of March, spring arrives, and Hibiya Park looks nice in the morning. The temperature in the morning was still a little low, and when I took a breath, my chest was cold, which made my body feel much lighter after the night.
Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa Yoshida stopped in front of the park's route map and confirmed the fan-shaped section.
"Hibiya Field Music Hall. β
The two walked side by side in Hibiya Park in the early morning and came to the outside of the Hibiya Field Music Hall.
Miwa Yoshida stretched out her hand and touched the closed iron door, "I told Shinich-kun that when I was fourteen years old, I came to Tokyo alone from Hokkaido for the first time to watch Yumi-san's concert. β
Iwahashi nodded cautiously, "Remember." β
"After watching Yushi-san's performance, I made up my mind to become a singer like Yushi-san. Miwa Yoshida, who has always been very aggressive, now has a serious expression.
"If that's the case, this Hibiya outdoor concert hall is the beginning of a dream. She turned around and looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, "That's why I'm thinking about this place in my heart." β
"Not only that," Shinichi Iwahashi smiled at her in understanding, "and it was here that I made up my mind to resign from Odyssey and become your crappy agent." β
"Now the best broker. Miwa-chan corrected with a smile. Turning her eyes to this sacred place in her heart again, "Now, the dream has taken another step. β
Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her silently. Thinking to himself, his own dream has also taken a step.
"Shen Yijun, I will never give up on my dreams. β
Miwa-chan said it seriously, as if she was making some vow.
"Of course. "But let's not forget that we are 'dreams come true,' so if you make a wish, you will definitely be able to make it happen." β
"That's right. Miwa-chan looked at him, "It's good to get the name DREAMS COME TRUE." β
"So, I'm still very talented in choosing a name, right?" Iwahashi Shinichi was smug.
Normally, Miwa and Chan would have complained about his narcissism, but today, she nodded, "Yes." β
It was a pleasure to be praised early in the morning.
Shinichi Iwahashi also learned from Miwa-chan just now, and looked at the Hibiya Field Music Hall.
