On the TV screen, a second band took to the stage.

At this time, the staff walked into the lounge where the amateur band was waiting, and said, "DREAMS COME TRUE, please get ready to appear." ”

Of course, it's still the standard katakana pronunciation - Dolimuzcom baldness.

When I was still in the underground music industry at the beginning, I thought it was funny to be called that. It's been a lot of times, and others always think like they should be, and once you accept this setting, it's quite magical.

Hearing the staff's words, Miwa Yoshida replied energetically: "Hai~", took his eyes back from the TV, and stood up.

The other bands waiting to appear in the lounge were attracted by her energetic response, and their eyes turned from the TV screen to her, as if they were making a preliminary judgment about the opponent in front of them.

Although Shinichi Iwahashi is the de facto captain, the person in charge of speaking is Miwa Yoshida.

This is not because the captain is inconvenient to wear a giraffe hood, but it was decided at the beginning when the trio's "DREAMS COME TRUE" was conceived, in order to highlight the unique status of Miwa Yoshida in the band, the "face of the band".

Even if Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura have to put in a lot of effort to make Miwa Yoshida shine, the reason why DREAMS COME TRUE appeared is because of Miwa Yoshida.

The three of them walked out of the lounge and were guided by the staff to the waiting place.

The members of the band, who had come before them, were crouching in front of the monitors, watching the arena. Hearing someone coming, he glanced at his face, then immediately withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the monitor.

It was their turn next, and because of this realization, the band was more nervous than the bands still waiting in the lounge, and nervousness was often accompanied by coldness.

The trio of the animal world is similar, and the closer they get to their debut, the more serious the atmosphere between the three becomes.

This time, it's a fateful race.

It's not the same as when I went to the festival, when I stood on the stage with the mentality of conquering the audience who didn't come for them, but this time, it was to conquer the censors and delegates who looked at them scrutinically.

If the last time it could be said that it was a full-time performance, this time it is better to say self-promotion.

Iwahashi Shinichi leans against the wall, and the giraffe hood obstructs the view, which has the added effect of dulling the atmosphere around him.

However, he is still keenly aware of Miwa-chan's uneasiness. Because, when he was distracted and waiting for him to play, to be reviewed by the rules of the game he had set, Miwa Yoshida reached out and held his left hand tightly.

Tonight, since he was in the lounge, Miwa-chan has reached out from time to time to shake his hand.

"Although he didn't care about what I said. ”

"But I have proof~"

"After holding hands for the first time, my right hand became super and special. ”

The lyrics of the song he was going to sing later sounded in his head, and he realized that Miwa-chan was now trying to get strength from him. Sensing her nervousness and uneasiness, Shinichi Iwahashi took her hand back.

Receiving his response, Miwa Yoshida seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Turning his head, he looked at Masato Nakamura and handed his empty left hand over.

Masato Nakamura understood and also took her hand. The three of them leaned against the wall together, looking at the monitor, waiting for the next appearance.

......

In the studio, the second band appeared on the stage, and successfully completed a full three-minute performance. Haruko Akamatsu sat in the delegates' seats, listening to censor Masaoi Sakuma comment on their performance.

It's a seven-piece band, a bit "spectacular" on stage.

"When you first started performing, I thought it was Mimi Club. Sakuma said.

The reason why they are compared to Mimi Club is that in addition to the magnificence of the number of people, it is also because they also add other instruments in addition to the traditional four pieces of the band like Mimi Club, and the performance is accompanied by gorgeous dance performances.

"Still, there's a big difference. Sakuma Masaei changed his head and said mercilessly, "Mimi CLUB is a pot of mixed boils, and you are stewed vegetables into a pot." ”

In other words, the stew is a dish, and the stew can only be poured out if it is made into a pot, or eaten with your nose pinched.

Everyone in the delegates' table laughed when they heard Sakuma Masei's comments.

"That's a damaging statement. ”

Watanabe Manyumi turned her head and whispered to Haruko Akamatsu.

"Definitely. Haruko Akamatsu pursed her lips and smiled. I thought to myself, to blurt out such words, these examiners are very powerful in every sense.

When the show was planned, it was the idea of looking for a personality censor, and after the broadcast, the three men didn't know how many hurtful sentences they contributed to the show, which people who often watch the show know it.

Even so, every time a new golden sentence comes out, it still makes people laugh.

The censors of the poisonous tongue faction actually subtly provide the audience with a kind of pleasure. Because the audience also has a sense of censorship when looking at the band that debuted, it is actually on the same side as the censors.

The ruthlessness of the judges somewhat satisfied the mentality of the audience standing on a high place and looking down on the players.

......

In front of the TV, Masashi Amaya opened the tab of the beer and caught the overflowing foam with his mouth, amused by Sakuma Masaoei's words.

Originally, I would only watch it because I liked this show, but I didn't expect to hear the censor name his band in the show.

However, being able to be mentioned in the band talent show and compare with the bands that appeared on the stage is also a symbol of the improvement of the band Mimi CLUB.

Tomorrow, when the band gathers, she must tell her teammates about it. Maori Amaya thought.

After signing with CBS Sony, the band went through a period of salted fish that couldn't sell at all, but fortunately, the record company didn't think that the wrong person had signed them because of this.

On the contrary, it has also increased its investment in them and carried out thoughtful planning.

This is done, on the one hand, there is still hope for them, on the other hand, if this is still not popular, when the company's cultivation is overdrawn, it is time to enter the cold palace.

The producers at CBS Sony believe that the band is not unpopular because it lacks talent, but because the audience is not ready to embrace this style of music.

To this end, part of the plan they have developed is a high-intensity performance.

As a result, for the whole of last year, Masashi Amaya participated in the kind of tour with one or two hundred people, and received a warning from the school because of the low attendance.

At the beginning, no one expected that one day they would be like this, working endlessly like a donkey in a muzzle, and during the tour, there would be an awkward fight between the members from time to time.

Noisy is noisy, but everyone is holding back the strength of unwilling to admit defeat, gritting their teeth and persevering for a year.

And the results are also remarkable, although the record sales are not much, but their performance videos have sold a figure that is not lost to the first-line singers.

This means that they have a super charm on the spot.

Starting with the best-selling videotapes, the band received a large number of invitations to appear in the show, and the concert was hard to find, and it started its own upward period.

This year, while the iron is hot, it is still a dense tour arranged, and it has expanded to a national scale. The tour started in March, and I was about to prepare to leave, but I didn't expect to see this episode before the show started.

It is a program produced by Iwahashi-san.

The opportunity for him to meet was that he was temporarily asked to help dance as a waiter in a nightclub, and later he resigned from the nightclub and became an underground music agent.

After the debut of Mimi CLUB, the two parties embarked on different life paths, and the phone calls became less and less, and it was only on the postcard received in the New Year that I knew that he had joined Watanabe Productions.

At that time, after a brief relationship, Masashi Amaya had a crush on Shinichi Iwahashi, but when he resigned from the nightclub to become Miwa Yoshida's agent, Masashi Amaya realized that he lacked understanding of him, and that favor was based on one-sided imagination, so he could not take another step.

Later, a music festival made the name Shinichi Iwahashi more and more famous in the underground music circle, and now, Masashi Amaya sits in front of the TV, watching the band program he leads the production.

......

The past flashed through my mind.

However, Maori Amaya didn't want to watch it because the show was produced by Shinichi Iwahashi. On the contrary, when someone else mentioned this show, I wanted to watch it but was fascinated when I was passing the time.

Iwahashi-san is making great strides on the path of being a producer, and she is also on the upward path as a member of Mimi Club.

Although they are all moving forward with their heads held high, they are on two completely different paths. Maybe at some point, the two sides who are walking on different life paths meet by chance, nod their heads, and then move forward separately.

......

After a moment's break, the third band on stage had already finished their show. This is an orthodox rock band, and although it successfully completed a full three-minute performance, the performance ended without leaving any deep impression on Masashi Amaya.

She looked at the band members standing on the stage waiting for comments, and suddenly thought of the show's promotional slogans, one of which was "jade confusing".

What the censors are doing is picking out the real jade from this pile of bands. However, to pick out the real jade, it is necessary to remove not only the small stones, but also the small stones that look like jade but are actually stones.

If there is another mediocre band, tonight's show will be a bit boring.

Masashi Amaya took a sip of beer and waited for the next band to appear. On TV, the host Yuji Miyake also mentioned this incident when he was on the show.

"The band so far tonight has somewhat felt like something is missing. ...... What is it?" Yuji Miyake made a thoughtful expression and asked himself, "It's a surprise and a shock." ”

One of the things that Yuji Miyake, as the host of this show, is that he always seems to guess what the audience thinks at the moment and says it on their behalf.

This is very important, and having someone to speak their minds for the audience will increase the audience's tolerance for the show.

"So, let's have the next band come on...... DREAMS COME TRUE。 ”

Hearing the name of this band, Maori Amaya's heart moved. That's the name of the band Iwahashi-san created for the girl named Yoshida, right?

Maori Amaya remembers that it was a band formed by Iwahashi-san to catch ducks, and there was nothing but the lead singer and keyboardist, and before the first performance, it was she who asked Gomi Takashi Sandang to support the guitarist and borrowed the rehearsal room of the Mimi Club.

That band was formed by Iwahashi-san to promote Yoshida-san, and it was also to promote her, that Iwahashi-san decided to resign from the nightclub to become an agent......

It was also because of that Yoshida-san that Maori Amaya realized that he didn't know Shinichi Iwahashi, and he couldn't walk with him at the same frequency, even if they were perfect when they danced together on stage.

Even if he only has a one-sided relationship with that Yoshida-san, two years have passed, and he doesn't remember her appearance, but Masashi Amaya still retains an impression of the band's name and the name "Yoshida".

......

The band appeared on stage in a configuration of two male musicians and a female lead. As soon as the camera swept over them, the first thing that caught the viewer's eye was undoubtedly the giraffe-hooded member.

There is a member of the team who is dressed very differently, and it is inevitable that it will be a little more eye-catching.

Masashi Amaya looked at the giraffe man, lowered his head and looked at the Kirin beer in his hand, thinking that this coincidence was a bit funny. Wearing a giraffe hood on stage, everyone has it. She thought to herself.

After being caught by the giraffe man, she turned her attention to the others.

A male bassist in his mid-thirties, as well as a female lead singer.

The bands of female lead male musicians seem to have become more and more recently, but most of the four major pieces of the band are matched with female lead singers, like this, the combination of two male musicians and a female lead singer seems to be rare.

Not only that, but not guitarists and keyboardists, but bassists and keyboardists...... A band without a guitarist.

Masashi Amaya looked at the female lead singer on TV and felt a little familiar.

ON THE TV, THE BAND CALLED DREAMS COME TRUE OFFICIALLY BEGAN TO PERFORM.

The camera begins with a close-up of the fingers of the keyboardist in the giraffe-hooded key, whose slender fingers magically tap the keys to set the song up.

A powerful bass team joins the play, and the two musicians work together to play a cheerful and passionate prelude. From here, the camera zooms out to capture the full view of the stage.

The female lead singer, who was only holding the microphone in her hand, spoke at the right time, added her own voice, and sang the first line of the song: "From the moment I first met you, there was an unusual feeling. ”

The moment she spoke, as the lyrics say, an "unusual feeling" swayed in the hearts of the audience.
