131. Crown Jewel

Manyumi Watanabe, who was standing in the audience, stared at Shinichi Iwahashi on the screen.

He either shows such a confident smile, or interacts with the audience with his eyes, or communicates with his teammates with music, everything seems so free.

She saw a Shinichi Iwahashi that she had never seen before.

Watanabe Manyumi thought to herself, who came to the festival in uniform, had a lively and frivolous era before she put on this professional attire.

Shinichi Iwahashi, who performed on stage in a suit and leather shoes, did not restrain his free-spirited soul in professional attire.

For a moment, she remembered what Sekimura had said to her, and what she had told Shinichi Iwahashi to confirm with her own eyes. But then it was left far behind.

The answer is obvious. Shinichi Iwahashi is not only an excellent agent, but also an excellent musician.

......

It was already completely dark, and the headlights on the side of the stage and around the venue illuminated the bayside plaza.

The atmosphere is getting more and more enthusiastic, and more and more audiences are instigated by the band, such an obscure underground band, before the debut, no one knows their origins, but at this moment, they are treated as a popular band.

Perhaps this enthusiasm is temporary, and their performances are time-sensitive magic, but the more this happens, the more it proves that there is an extraordinary charm to their scenes.

As he played, Shinichi Iwahashi's gaze swept over his teammates on stage and the audience.

When he first formed a band and sang in LIVEHOUSE, in order to cheer himself up, he stood on the stage, and when he looked ahead, he would imagine himself standing on a big stage, and when he looked at it, the audience was a large area, the venue was very large, and the stage was very high, so he couldn't see the faces of the audience clearly.

Now, the band is indeed standing on a stage that has never been seen before, and as far as the eye can see, except for the front audience, the faces of the other audience cannot be seen clearly, and their presence can only be felt by cheers.

It was said to be an unprecedented success, but the wonderful thing is that he did not have that feeling of ecstasy, but a sense of taking it for granted.

For him, the battle at this moment is both like a dream come true, and as if everything was meant to be.

To perform for one person is to perform for thousands of people.

When you perform for thousands of people, you also perform for one person.

At the end of the performance, Miwa Yoshida introduced her teammates to the audience.

"Bass, Masato Nakamura, Masato-san!"

"Oh——!!"

"Keyboard, Iwahashi Shinichi, Shinichi-kun!"

"Oh——!!"

At this moment, from the audience area, a balloon suddenly floated up.

Miwa Yoshida's sharp eyes saw it, "ah", and said a little out of the way: "It's a balloon." "I like it very much.

Immediately, a big smile appeared, "Then the lead singer, Miwa Yoshida." ”

There is no need to be taught, and in the cheers below, someone has already shouted "Miwa-chan!"

......

At the end of the performance, retreating backstage, Miwa Yoshida was out of breath and looked like he had burned out of energy. Just now, she probably used all her skills and completed the performance without reservation.

Shinichi Iwahashi looked at her as she tried to find support, and opened his arms at her. In the next second, two arms hooked his neck, and Miwa Yoshida hugged him tightly.

He raised his hand and touched her hair, it was obviously a big winter, and the sweat actually wet her hair a little, "Well done, Miwa-chan." He said.

Then, he gestured to Masato Nakamura with his eyes.

Big Brother Nakamura was refreshing, hugging the two of them with one arm, and hugging Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa Yoshida together, "I really didn't expect to have such a fun performance, it's so exciting." ”

These two novices are the kind of people who can still bring out their potential.

The three of them hugged each other and thanked each other. But before it was time to celebrate, after letting go, Iwahashi Shinichi immediately threw himself into the busy backstage work.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell his two teammates, "There is a fireworks display after nine o'clock, don't miss it." ”

However, after the success of the performance, he threw himself backstage again, and more eyes fell on Shintoichi Iwahashi.

What is the origin of this person? This has become a question on the minds of many people.

Those who are familiar with him, for example, the four girls from the rabbit country, are very direct, and when they saw Iwahashi Shinyi, they called "Mr. Iwahashi", and asked questions and questions.

For example, the initiators at the beginning of the festival project, Keiko Terada and NOKKO, felt even more incredible. knew that he was an agent, but I didn't expect him to have another identity.

For a while, in this backstage, Shinichi Iwahashi became a star first, from colleagues to temporary workers to musicians who participated in the show, everyone was very interested in him.

The staff of the organizer is a hidden band master, and this wonderful contrast makes Iwahashi Shinichi look a little more mysterious. Those who were bold accosted him directly.

BANDMAN is so popular. When Shinichi Iwahashi took the note, he couldn't help but think in his heart.

......

Backstage, the name Shinichi Iwahashi became the focus for a while, and in the audience area, there was also a person who reacted greatly to the name Shinichi Iwahashi.

When I watched the DREAMS COME TRUE performance, Daikoku Maki was impressed by their superb live performance, and as one of the many followers in the audience area, he tried to support them.

This band is so powerful that it will definitely make its mainstream debut!

Daikoku Moji thought to himself.

However, when Miwa Yoshida began to introduce her teammates at the end of the performance, and she reported the name of keyboardist Shinichi Iwahashi, Daikoku Maki was so surprised that he even accidentally let go of the balloon in his hand.

Shinichi Iwahashi, she's heard the name.

Before coming to Tokyo, when I was on the phone with the original members of the band who were working hard in the underground music scene in Tokyo, I heard her say that this music festival was led by Shinichi Iwahashi, because he specially selected new people in the underground music circle, and now this name is very famous among underground musicians.

The surname Iwahashi is rare, and the probability of having the same name is not high.

So, is that keyboardist the same Iwahashi Shinichi, or is it just a coincidence that the name is sold? The seeds of the question were planted in Daikokumo Ki's heart, but there was no chance to get an answer for a while.

The show continued.

After nightfall, the guests who appeared on the stage were more weighty than one another, and the enthusiasm from the audience was also higher and higher, and when Joan Jett appeared as the finale, it set off the highest cheers of the audience, and the appearance of the rock queen became the jewel on the top of the crown of NAONのYON.

Before the end of the performance, Iwahashi Shinichi went to call the four girls of the rabbit country, as well as Miwa Yoshida and Masato Nakamura, "Let's go, the fireworks display is about to start!"

As soon as I walked out of the backstage passage, I heard the sound of "boom-", and the large fireworks exploded in the air, and at the same time, from the audience area, there was a mountain of cheers.
