057. Lack of sincerity
Generally speaking, it is normal for young people who are accosted by scouts to be surprised, especially if the scout is still their neighbor. However, Keiyuki Nitta's reaction can no longer be described as surprised.
It would be better to say that I was frightened.
"Sorry for saying this all of a sudden. Iwahashi saw his reaction and quickly cleared the siege.
Keiyuki Nitta shook his head, "No, it's my own reason...... I'm sorry, because I'm very scared of the camera. β
"I see, I was abrupt. Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly realized. Then I thought that this guy looked trembling every time he saw him, could it be that he was also afraid of dealing with strangers?
However, even if he is really a little socially phobic, when he sees him, the reaction of this mouse to the cat is too strange. Right now, if someone is watching from the sidelines, Keiyuki Nitta looks like this, I'm afraid he will think that Iwahashi Shinichi is the big brother on the road who is here to blackmail.
Iwahashi Shinichi felt that there was a subtle incongruity in Keiyuki Nitta, but he couldn't tell where it was. However, it has nothing to do with him.
This matter was mentioned casually, but now it has been revealed, diverting the topic.
After talking too much, Keiyuki Nitta sometimes had a little accent, and Shinichi Iwahashi was a little curious and asked him, "Where is Nitta-san from?"
Keiyuki Nitta hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's from Fukuoka." β
"Fukuoka? That's far enough. β
β...... Yes. β
If you can't talk about it, you won't be reluctant.
After eating, Shinichi Iwahashi took the bill, and before leaving, he thought about it and said to Keiyuki Nitta, "Thanks to your help this time, you and I are neighbors again." In the future, if there is anything you need my help with, please feel free. β
That's the end of the club's business.
Shinichi Iwahashi called one by one to report to the band. Haruko Akamatsu was the last to call, and after he finished talking about the situation, he asked her, "Is it okay to go on stage right away?"
Haruko Akamatsu was silent on the other end of the phone for a while before replying, "No problem."
Even so, considering her mental burden, the next time the band returned, Shinichi Iwahashi went to negotiate a time when he could be present and accompany the band to the performance.
On the day of the performance, on his way to the club, he passed by a flower shop on the corner, walked in on a whim, and asked the young clerk, "If you want to encourage others and convey hope, what flowers should I give?"
When he came out of the shop, he had a small handful of daisies in his hand.
It would be thought that sending flowers was purely accidental, and it could even be said to be a sudden kindness. However, Haruko Akamatsu, who received the flowers, was very happy, "Thank you, Iwahashi-san." β
"When the show comes, I'll be in the front row and you can see me at a glance. Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "If something happens, I'll be the first to rush up." So, it's good to perform with peace of mind. β
"Yes, I'll do my best. Haruko Akamatsu said.
This time the turmoil did not let the friends around him know, but the band's companions all sent condolences. However, after being frightened, someone sent flowers to encourage her, and Haruko Akamatsu was moved by Shinichi Iwahashi's kindness.
During the performance, she put the small bouquet of daisies on the side of her belt and brought it to the stage.
On her debut after the turmoil, there were a lot of guests who came to cheer for the band, but Haruko Akamatsu thought that Shinichi Iwahashi said that he was under the stage, and subconsciously looked at the first row, and really saw him at a glance.
Shinichi Iwahashi untied his tie around his wrist and waved at the stage. Tatsuya Hirakawa and Tomohisa Kawazoe also discovered him, and the first time they saw their agent's support, they couldn't help but laugh when they saw the appearance of their agent's support.
"Good evening, we're ABNORMALβ" Haruko Akamatsu received a roaring cheer as soon as she spoke. She was once abused by the audience, but this time she felt the tenderness of the audience again.
"Please enjoy today's performance until the end!" the lead singer did a good job. After saying this, Okihira Kawada also made a gesture, and the beginning of the code sounded.
Shin Iwahashi looked at the stage intently.
He didn't just come to the stage to appease Haruko Akamatsu, he hadn't given up figuring out the thing that puzzled him, what did the troublesome guest see, so he felt "unpleasant"?
Shinichi Iwahashi had seen Haruko Akamatsu sing in the rehearsal room and on the side of the stage, but he had not yet seen her performance from the perspective of an audience, and this time, he was planning to take a closer look.
Looking at it this way, it really made him see that something was wrong.
Tatsuya Hirakawa's level is unquestionable, and they are quite superb among underground bands. Haruko Akamatsu had a little trouble when she first joined, and it was the band who took her away, and now, she has gradually kept up with her teammates.
With her current performance level, she is already very solid. But Shinichi Iwahashi found a problem - when Haruko Akamatsu performed, she had been avoiding the audience.
This is not to say that she exposes timidity in front of the audience, but a kind of empty eyes that is the complete opposite of timidity. Even in the face of the cheers of the audience, she was unmoved.
When she stood on the stage, her eyes were looking ahead, but there was no one in front of her.
Iwahashi suspects that this may be the after-effect of her unpleasant experience when she first appeared on stage.
At that time, she stopped to the boos of the audience, but quickly adjusted and continued to sing. Perhaps it was at that time, in order not to be influenced by the audience, that she adopted the practice of ignoring the audience.
That drunk guest had been provoking her that night. Iwahashi Shinichi can imagine the arrogance of Haruko Akamatsu when she was provoked. No wonder the drunk man would say, "Look down on people less."
She sings while treating the audience as enemies.
Thinking of this, Shinichi Iwahashi was not only surprised, but completely surprised.
After the turmoil, the band's debut was perfect, the members performed successfully, and the audience responded enthusiastically, so it was a perfect performance, even the club had nothing to say.
However, Iwahashi Shin thought to himself, is it really okay for Haruko Akamatsu to let such an attitude go unchecked? This turmoil may not be a warning.
Treating the audience and the stage, Haruko Akamatsu lacks sincerity.
Shinichi Iwahashi had something to do next, and after watching ABNORMAL's performance, he left the stage early and returned backstage.
He didn't immediately say what he had discovered, he encouraged the band a few words, and after going to meet the head of the club, he broke up with them and left first.
But this matter has always been in his heart.
After thinking about it for a while, early the next morning, before going out, he called Miwa Yoshida. It took a little time to ring in the earpiece, and after a while, Miwa Yoshida's voice came: "Moxi Moxi-"
"It's me. β
As soon as Shinichi Iwahashi reported his home, the opposite side blew up. The wake up that he woke up early in the morning was overwhelming, and he couldn't stop it through the phone line, so he almost followed the phone line to beat him.
