In front of the station, the two said goodbye.

At this time, Miwa Yoshida looked at him and suddenly sighed: "Seriously, Shin Yi-san's appearance is quite good." From this point of view, he can be regarded as a decent handsome guy. ”

"Can't you remove the word 'too'?" Iwahashi protested.

"Hey~ really narcissistic. ”

"HOWEVER, BANDMANS LIKE SHIN ICHI-SAN ARE DEFINITELY POPULAR. Miwa Yoshida said, rehashing the old story, "I almost got it tonight, right? ”

Speaking of which, Miwa Yoshida quipped him, "If you have such a good fortune after the end, please don't worry about me, just go chic and happy." ”

“......”

Shinichi Iwahashi admired her bold words so much that he threw himself to the ground.

I'm afraid that she will say something nonsense, so I quickly said goodbye to her. As soon as the topic was interrupted, the matter about Takahiro Nishikawa just now was also revealed. Shinichi Iwahashi also put the name aside for the time being.

The next day, Shin'ichi Iwahashi went to the LIVEHOUSE again, met the person in charge, and signed a contract for the performance. From then on, the band would sing every Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, and each performance lasted 30 minutes and was paid 5,000 yen.

Given that the band's popularity is almost zero now, and it has to rub the popularity of LIVEHOUSE in turn, there is no need to think about anything else.

That being said, this is the way to go, and finally there's a decent opportunity.

"By the way, what's going on with that female singer of yours now?" the person in charge asked, as if casually.

Shinichi Iwahashi replied, "I got a pretty good job." ”

"That's pretty good. The person in charge nodded.

Until now, I can't guess that Miwa Yoshida is the female singer he wanted to promote at the beginning, but he lacks heart. The person in charge didn't pierce this layer of paper, and the two of them tacitly decided the matter.

After settling the contract, Iwahashi thought about it and called Matoshi Amaya, reporting to her that the performance was successful and that he had received a contract for the LIVEHOUSE performance.

This thing can be successful, and she has done a lot of work, and it is impossible not to tell her.

"Really? Great!"

When Tiangu Zhenli heard this, he was really happy for him.

Iwahashi Shinichi feels that treating people with sincerity is the most valuable thing about her.

After chatting for a while, Masashi Amaya asked him again: "Then, is Iwahashi-san going to perform at night?"

"Tonight, no. Iwahashi Shinichi asked rhetorically, "Tentani-san has something to say?"

"Hmmm......"

Iwahashi Shinichi's mind spun quickly, "Otherwise, don't say it yet, let me guess what's going on?"

"Okay, then please guess. ”

"GO PARAPARA DANCE, RIGHT?" IWAHASHI SAID WITH A SMILE.

The other end of the phone didn't say whether it was right or wrong, only the laughter of Matoshi Amatani was heard. After waiting for a while, she asked him, "Is it okay?"

"Of course. Shinichi Iwahashi replied, "It's okay anyway." BESIDES, I ALSO WANT TO SEE WHAT PARAPARA DANCE IS. Then I'll leave it to you. ”

Amaya Maori happily agreed, and the two agreed on a time and place to meet.

In the afternoon, Shinichi Iwahashi arrived first. He deliberately came early in order to go to Walker Heaven and get a feel for the culture of RB youth in person.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. This street is really lively, everyone is dressed up fashionably, yo yo -

Why don't you talk about foreign Allegro?

There are fashionable young people of this era all over the body, two or three in a group, four or five in groups, there are not too many people like him dangling around, and even fewer people like him are down-to-earth (earthy).

But if he is asked to adapt to the current trend and leave a "Fujii Ikuya hairstyle", it will be difficult for him.

The weird-looking bangs of Ikuya Fujii, the lead singer of the band Checker, are now being imitated by teenagers across the country. The popularity and influence of this person and his band are better than those of the little fresh meat in China in later generations.

Find a girlfriend, and if you tell her, "I hate Fujii Ikuya the most", maybe you will like to mention the breakup package.

More eye-catching than the fashion of young people is the bands performing on this street.

After the decline of the Bamboo Sons and the retreat to the clubs for small gatherings, the empathetic teenagers were influenced by the retro trend and, like the young people of the GroupS ounds period, took up their instruments to form bands, brought their own equipment and amplifiers, and performed on the streets here.

However, although the origins are old, the music played today is very different, and with the development of the music scene, something new has been transformed.

Iwahashi noticed that on this street where young people gathered, there were people in suits and ties who looked like office workers, shuttling through the crowd. From time to time, I would stop a teenager and girl and hand them a business card. There are also people who stop in front of a band that is performing, and look like this, it is probably a talent scout or something.

The entertainment industry, which absorbs young people as fresh blood, and the place where young people often hang out, must be the place where scouts gather.

Iwahashi Shinichi walked around for a while, and when he saw that the time was about the same, he came out of the street and walked to the agreed place.

Maori Amaya has arrived.

She didn't wear heavy makeup on the street, just a little powder, but the whole person looked radiant. The more this happened, the more Shinichi Iwahashi felt that she had carefully prepared.

Seeing him coming, Matoshi Amaya took off his gloves and waved at him. When Iwahashi saw this, he also responded.

"Tentani-san. As she got closer, Shinichi Iwahashi asked her, "Have you waited a long time?"

Amaya Masashi shook his head, "It's just here." ”

The two walked and talked.

Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "I just went to Walker Heaven, and it's going to be lively today." ”

"I'm waiting for this day. Matoshi Amaya said.

At the school, which still has a single-day holiday system on weekends, students want to have a good time, so they are elected for the weekend. In addition, the most important point is that on this weekend, the street is closed to motorized vehicles, and it is truly a paradise for pedestrians.

"My friends have been going there a lot lately. ”

"Yes. Iwahashi nodded cautiously.

"When the PARAPARA dance was popular, Amagani-san also came here to play?"

"I was in my first year of high school, and on the weekends, I took the train with my friends, and I seriously thought about what kind of group I would form and danced on the weekends, and I even thought about the name. ”

"Didn't it turn out?"

Amatani Masashi said "um", "Before we could put it into action, there was a social incident in which members of the Gang of Crime extorted protection money in the Walker Heavenly Kingdom, and I was seriously warned by the adults not to go again." After that, the popularity of the Bamboo Clan subsided all at once. ”

"And that kind of thing. "I didn't pay attention, and I heard another gossip.

"By the way, what is the name of the group that died at that time?"

Amaya Matoshi smiled, "That can't tell you. ...... It's a very funny name. ”

"That's even more curious. Shinichi Iwahashi also smiled. I didn't ask any questions after all.

The two walked up the stairs and into a small coffee shop.

The decoration of the shop is light and bright, a few boys who look like students are playing a table of video games, there is a table for two idle, the two of them sit down, and the girls who help in the store bring water.

After ordering, Iwahashi Shinichi asked her, "What do you want to eat later?"

"What does Iwahashi-san eat?"

"Better not to ask me. Shinichi Iwahashi joked, "Well, if I don't order a set meal, I don't know what to eat." ”

Amaya Masashi looked at him, "Then I'll order a set meal with you." ...... You can't tell what to eat, and I can't say it. ”

"There is no such thing. Shinichi Iwahashi was amused by her.

As a result, after coming out of the shop, he took her into a soba noodle shop. After eating, it was getting dark, and the two walked to the venue where the dance was held.

Along the way, I met a lot of teenagers in fancy costumes, probably the same destination as them.

Iwahashi Shinichi felt that something was wrong and asked Matoshi Amaya, "We are dressed like this, is it appropriate to go in?"

"It's okay," said Matoshi Amatani, "and there's no need to be particular about clothes. Newcomers are also welcome to attend such gatherings. ”

Pay a little attention to it, and among the people who entered, there were indeed people like them who were dressed ordinarily, maybe they came to join in the fun.

Shinichi Iwahashi was relieved.

PARAPARA DANCE HAS OBVIOUSLY FALLEN OUT OF THE MAINSTREAM, AND IF IT IS NOT TOLERANT OF THE OUTSIDE WORLD, IT WILL DIE OUT SOONER OR LATER.

Some niche circles, obviously lacking themselves, are eager to inherit and carry forward, but on the other hand, they abide by some irrelevant rules that only show superiority, regard this culture as their own private property, and are picky of outsiders.

That kind of practice, not only can it not be carried forward, but it is simply accelerating its demise.

The ball was free for female guests, and Shin'ichi Iwahashi paid 1,500 yen for admission. As soon as you step in, the show has already begun, and the colorful lights overhead rotate to illuminate the dancing figures that are swaying neatly.

"There's a weekly PARAPARA dance party here?" Shin'ichi Iwahashi followed Maori Amaya.

"Almost," she replied, turning her head back, and walked on in glee. Iwahashi Shinichi was afraid that he would lose it, and stared at her figure vigorously in the crowd.

"Let's go too, Iwahashi-san. Finally, Maori Amaya stood still.

"I won't. ”

"It's simple...... You follow me. She said.

With dancing skills, it is easy to learn the dance steps of PARAPARA dance, and soon Iwahashi Shinichi will be able to dance decently.

After jumping for a while, Shinichi Iwahashi sweated profusely, and fine beads of sweat oozed from the tip of Amatani Mari's nose.

"Go get a drink. Shinichi Iwahashi called her.

In the second half, there was also a performance by the Star Dance Troupe, which used to be in the Pacers Heavenly Kingdom, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Masashi Amaya watched two sets of performances, and as soon as it was past nine o'clock, they came out of it.

"It's kind of interesting. ”

"Then I'll ask you to play next time?" said Matoshi Amaya.

"Okay," Iwahashi agreed, "as long as the time is free, I will accompany you." ”

Dancing is also a manual job. After playing all night, Iwahashi Shinichi was so tired that when he got home, he couldn't stand the fact that the room without heating all day was as cold as a cellar.

He quickly plugged in the stove and boiled some hot water from the kettle.

Before the water could boil, the phone rang suddenly.
