301. Complementing each other
The staff came over and called the delegates to the studio to prepare.
The delegates who came to participate in the show also stayed in a large lounge, just like the amateur bands that participated in the competition.
However, compared to the various elements of the room where the band is located, this lounge is so ordinary that it is boring.
The delegates were all dressed in professional attire, and almost all of them were cyan and black, and it was difficult to tell who was who at a glance when they came in from the outside.
The representatives of the record company got up and walked out, and two-thirds of the people in the lounge left, and then Watanabe Manyumi turned her face to look at Haruko Akamatsu and said, "Let's go too, Haruko." ”
"Yes. ”
Haruko Akamatsu agreed, stood up with Watanabe Manyumi, and walked to the studio.
......
The live broadcast began at 11:20 a.m., and the participating bands had to wait at the TV station an hour or two in advance, and the delegates did not arrive at the same time, but at about 10 o'clock, they had to come to TV Asahi to standby.
From the time BEGIN won the championship to the present, on the GENZO side, Haruko Akamatsu has been represented by Shinichi Iwahashi on the representative seat.
During this time, she watched BEGIN win the championship, saw a new band win, and then, the band that won two consecutive rounds was defeated by a new band.
She also witnessed the signing of the original champion BEGIN to AMUSE, and BEGIN's final record contract was signed to Tokuma Records, and witnessed the first winner of the show, Human Chair, successfully complete the sales task of 10,000 copies and get a chance to debut.
On top of that, she has also seen the show's ratings slowly rise from 19.7 to an average rating of 20 to 22, making it a prime-time show that TV Asahi is proud of and rival TV stations are uneasy.
......
When she came to the TV station for the first time, Haruko Akamatsu was mistaken by the TV station as an artist who came to record the show.
Haruko Akamatsu knows that she is a beauty - it is hypocritical to say that she doesn't know. Not only was she mistaken for an artist, but a representative sent her a business card and wanted her to consider signing with the firm.
When I first came here, there was such a funny episode.
However, as she participated more times, the TV station staff and the representatives who worked with her knew that she was a representative of GENZO.
The people who handed her business cards also knew that she had no intention of becoming an artist, and even so, they treated her very kindly.
Shinichi Iwahashi entrusted her to Watanabe Manyumi, because in this way, whether it was in the lounge or in the representative seat, Haruko Akamatsu sat with Watanabe Manyumi.
When the show was broadcast live, the camera occasionally swept over the delegates' seats, and Shin'ichi Iwahashi, who used to be wearing a suit and was no different from the other delegates, sat there, and no one in the audience paid attention to it.
Now, instead of a beautiful woman sitting there, next to her is also a beauty.
Not only that, but these two female representatives, although they are both beauties, have completely opposite temperaments. A light ** person, a delicate and capable, sitting separately may not have such a strong feeling, next to each other, more and more attractive eyes.
Once upon a time, Watanabe Manyumi and Iwahashi Shinichi sat next to each other, next to a male representative with a serious face, but the audience ignored her in the sea of cyan and black suits.
And now sitting with Haruko Akamatsu, the two of them reflect each other, each of them adds a lot, and even after the end of the last two episodes, there are also calls to ask where these two female representatives are sacred audiences.
......
Seated in the delegates' seat, Watanabe Manyumi looked at her watch, "There are still ten minutes." He said to Haruko Akamatsu, "It might be a tough battle today, Haruko." ”
After working together often, Watanabe Manyumi changed her name to Haruko Akamatsu "Haruko".
Haruko Akamatsu replied, "Yes, Watanabe-san." ”
The reason why I say this is because the band that is defending today is a hard rock band that has won three consecutive championships, and the bands that came to participate tonight are going to challenge such a strong team.
The first game that DREAMS COME TRUE came to participate in was to wrestle with such a strong team.
Watanabe Manyumi and Haruko Akamatsu tacitly understood that they didn't continue.
Haruko Akamatsu has seen the band's performances and has a lot of confidence in the band. The only thing that made her curious and uneasy was Shinichi Iwahashi, who was going to put on a giraffe hood to perform.
I wonder what the effect will be when she wears a hood on the stage? She thought to herself, and couldn't help but go to see Manyumi Watanabe.
Watanabe Manyumi was confirming the workbook in her hand, not paying attention to Haruko Akamatsu's gaze.
Haruko Akamatsu is not the kind of beauty that makes people feel annoying, on the contrary, she is knowledgeable and likable to Watanabe Manyumi. And Watanabe Manyumi happens to be the kind of working woman that Haruko Akamatsu yearns for, so the two have a good relationship.
In the eyes of Haruko Akamatsu, Shinichi Iwahashi is a person with outstanding ability and admiration, and Manyumi Watanabe also gives her such feelings. Haruko Akamatsu respects Shinichi Iwahashi in her heart, so she also likes and respects Watanabe Manyomi.
At this time, seeing her normal appearance of being fully engaged in the matter at hand and not caring about the appearance of Shinichi Iwahashi's band, Haruko Akamatsu was infected and relieved.
At this time, the voice of the dispatcher sounded in the venue: "There are still five minutes left in the live broadcast, please be ready-"
The staff hurried off the stage, and in the huge studio, there was a sudden silence, only the sound of the countdown shouted by the staff every minute.
Even if she has been sitting here more than once, Haruko Akamatsu still feels a little nervous when she is in this countdown atmosphere.
"Five seconds countdown—"
After saying this, the staff began to use gestures to do the final countdown instead: four, three, two, one!
......
The new edition of the band Kingdom of Heaven has officially begun.
The studio entered a glamorous live broadcast state after being busy, and the backstage staff were still hurriedly scheduling. After the first band appeared, the band that appeared in third was called to wait.
In the lounge, there is a TV with live streaming.
Of the bands that are still here, one-third of them are indifferent to the live broadcast, and the rest of them are all watching TV involuntarily, even if they just look at it out of boredom, and it is difficult to say that they don't care at all.
The first to appear was a duo folk band, singing very strange lyrics, and Miwa Yoshida was amused by their lyrics, leaning against the giraffe's fluffy face, and whispering, "It's boring!"
It's boring, but it's funny. Or rather, the kind of boredom that pokes at people's laughs. The censors probably thought the same thing, laughing as they presented them with a knockout package.
Watching the TV screen shrink and the stage shrink in circles, this is a scene that I am used to.
But the thought of the studio next to them where all this happened still makes people feel amazing.
