"It smells so good!"
Iwahashi Shinichi ate with relish.
The rice balls are covered with seaweed and tuna and spicy cabbage inside, making them full of ingredients and refreshing in taste, far from being comparable to the rice balls in convenience stores.
At half past nine in the evening, the rehearsal was over, and everyone in the band found a random place to sit down - the most important thing in this room was tables, chairs and benches. Maori Amaya took out the prepared rice balls and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Hearing Shinichi Iwahashi's praise, she smiled happily, "Really, thank you!"
She made the rice balls herself, and it is said that when the band was rehearsing, she would occasionally bring supper to the members like this. Today, Iwahashi Shinichi came just in time.
A native of Tokyo, Masashi Amaya is a sophomore in the Department of International Relations at Asia University and is the youngest member of the band. As the "last child", he almost rightly became the object of calling.
The temperature in the rehearsal room was very high, and the air was not circulated and stuffy. Staying in here for hours is like being in a steamer. Shinichi Iwahashi took off his shirt, leaving only a white vest, revealing two muscular arms.
Shinichi Iwahashi participated in the volleyball club when he was in high school, and he has a sturdy and well-proportioned body full of health.
Minako Ishii finished eating a rice ball and suddenly asked him, "How tall is Iwahashi Sando? ”
"It's a little bit close, one meter seven or eight. He replied.
Minako Ishii muttered, "My brother is one meter seventy-five." After thinking about it, he clapped his hands, "Brother, Iwahashi-san, can you please stand up and let me see?"
"What are you going to do again?" Ryu Ishii asked her.
Minako Ishii raised her eyebrows, "Can you please stand still and let me see?" ”
Regardless of the brother and sister, Shin Iwahashi put the last bit of rice ball in his mouth and chewed it, and stood up.
After standing up, Minako Ishii looked at the two of them from head to toe, and that look made Iwahashi Shinichi think of the tailor in the body clothes, and always felt that in the next second, she would have to conjure a pair of tape measures to measure his measurements.
Although she has limited mobility now.
"Can you turn around?"
"Stretch your arms out, please. ”
“......”
You can't move your legs, you can't stop your mouth.
Minako Ishii threw out one request after another and transferred the regiments under their two commands. Ishii Ryu also has a slight complaint, which is like a temperamental cat as a sister.
The way blood relatives get along is strange.,Unreasonable sister is probably the norm.,Iwahashi Shinichi who doesn't have a sister thinks it's funny to watch.。
After seeing that it was enough to be satisfied, Minako Ishii finally announced that she would let them go, "Iwahashi-san and my brother's figure are about the same. She came to this conclusion.
"The clothes for Tuesday's performance can be changed with my brother's costume. ”
Minako Ishii came to Tokyo to study at a fashion school, so it was easy to change her clothes.
Of course, women's clothing is impossible for women's clothing, and there will be no women's clothing in this life.
A man who is nearly 1.8 meters tall, has a strong physique, and has a tough guy face in a chivalrous movie that is far from the popular little fresh meat flower beautiful man, if you go to dress up as a woman, it is nothing else - too spicy.
Next Tuesday, Mimi CLUB will participate in a platter concert featuring a total of 12 groups of singers who sing from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
In Tokyo's "underground", there are countless unknown bands. In the basement of any shopping mall, there may be a humble performance venue. The organizers selected singers with similar styles to get together, and such platter concerts were staged every day.
However, to be similar to the style of this band, I am afraid it is not too easy.
In 1982, Mimi CLUB, which began to form amateur performances, was originally composed of graduates of the Fine Arts Department of the College of Culture, and these young artists fused rock, funk, and ballads with various musical elements, and even performed rakugo during the interlude.
The word rakugo is still taught by Amaya Shinri.
When it came to a song called "KOME KOME WAR", Ryu Ishii also inexplicably came to a garbled speech with a very fast pronunciation in the interlude, and his facial expression was as if he had been hit by a wire. He and Maori Amaya were going to partner together for a few days, and he was the most familiar in the band, so he secretly asked her, "What is Ishii-san doing?"
Matoshi Amaya whispered to him, "That's rakugo." Ishii-san is very fond of rakugo and often adds it to songs. ”
Rakugo is a traditional art that originated in the Edo period, and although Shinichi Iwahashi didn't know much about it, he felt that Ryu Ishii, who could use these things with ease, was also very powerful. Even the expression that looked like it had been hit by a wire was suddenly full of artistic sense...... It's weird.
After all, Shinichi Iwahashi really felt that they were not simply singing or messing around, but implementing the form of "acting".
None of them are mediocre.
The Ishii Ryuya brothers and sisters have a century-old shop at home, and the other people are also well-off, so they don't need to make music hungry, and the original intention of forming a team is also very simple, and like-minded friends get together to make their favorite music for happiness.
It's a luxury to be able to do something just for pleasure.
It is precisely because of this free and casual mentality that this kind of unfettered and whimsical music can be made.
Because of their good backgrounds, these people are able to develop their interests and personalities without constraints, and when they grow up, they study hard, they are actively exposed to all kinds of new things, their heads are full of wonderful ideas, and they have enough ability to realize these ideas.
The real version is not only better than you, but also harder than you.
Calling him over to dance this time was Minako Ishii's idea.
At first, they didn't even think about finding someone to come over to fight on their behalf, but let Ryuya Ishii dance against Masashi Amatani. Minako Ishii studied ballet since she was a child, and when she came to Tokyo, she heard that her brother had formed a band, and she enthusiastically participated in it, and she was in charge of choreography.
Ishii Ryuya cooperated with Masashi Amaya twice, but it didn't go well, and I wanted to give up the plan and find a female dancer to help, but at this time, Ishii Minako thought of Shinichi Iwahashi.
Coincidentally, she sprained her foot the day after going to the Odyssey. It must have been a special fate that made him a temporary candidate for their band along the way.
The time until next Tuesday is very short, and once he agrees to participate in the show, Iwahashi will have to attend rehearsals on time for the next few days, and he will have to take a break from nightclub work for this purpose.
When Akihito Takeuchi told him about this, he was attracted by the 600 yen hourly salary and performance fee, but in reality, it seems that if you simply calculate the benefits of money, you don't seem to be able to bargain.
Even so, Shinichi Iwahashi agreed to participate in this performance.
In the three months since he was reborn, he has been living a life with a set trajectory. And now, this kind of strange band, working with them, makes him feel fresh, like an inhaler of vitality. It was like tasting a spice that he had never tried before, and there was a wonderful anticipation.
In comparison, losing a little money that can be earned back quickly becomes the least important thing.
