409. Expensive guitars

"Are you going? Watanabe asked again.

There is no way, he is the one waiting for the answer, the key is held by Watanabe Manyumi, and the rhythm of the topic is naturally up to her.

Having said that, Watanabe Manyumi went around in such a circle, and the initiative was in her hands. This trick is commonly used by himself, and now he has experienced the feeling of being led by the nose, and Iwahashi Shinichi is quite helpless.

However, he is not completely unconcerned about ORIGINAL LOVE's performance, after all, he was the one who proposed to sign Watanabe Manyumi, and Takao Tajima and his teammates came to him from time to time to help before the band officially signed to the record company.

Thinking of this, he nodded and agreed, "If you don't cause trouble, of course you have to go." ”

Watanabe Manyumi got up and walked to the desk to get the ticket, "If Shinich-kun goes to see it, Tajima and they will definitely be happy." ”

This is by no means a polite remark by Watanabe Manyumi. For Takao Tajima and his band, Shinichi Iwahashi is like a bole, and the members of the band also respect him very much.

Performing alone at the Rokumeikan was the biggest dream of Takashi Takashio during his time as an underground band, and this performance was a "dream come true".

Of course, the wish came true first of all because the studio paid 250,000 yen for the venue rental fee for the band.

However, from the underground period to the operation of the contract office and the record company, the popularity has gradually accumulated, and it is not difficult to support the field of the Luming Pavilion, and the sales of tickets are not bad, and the return on investment is still no problem.

With such a meaningful debut, Watanabe Manyumi, as the boss, naturally had to go to the show, and she invited Shinichi Iwahashi to really think that the people of ORIGINAL LOVE would be happy that Shinichi Iwahashi was there.

In addition, and most importantly, inviting him to watch Takao Tajima's performance also contains another layer of meaning that cannot be explicitly explained and can only be experienced by Shinichi Iwahashi himself.

The official show starts at 6 p.m. and ends at 7:50 p.m. Before going to the show, the two had a bite to eat near the office.

After that, the emotionless driver sent the two of them to Meguro Shikameikan.

By the time we arrived, there were still five minutes before the official start of the show, and judging from the audience's admission, the tickets were selling well. After having an office and a record company, even the pre-performance publicity was in place, and even the posters were carefully prepared.

Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe didn't go backstage and went straight in.

Meguro Narukan is famous, but the venue is similar to other livehouses, and the boundaries between the stage and the audience are not clear.

Come here and see the show, don't expect any privileges.

The good position in front of the stage has long been occupied. Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe squeezed forward, and as soon as they stood still, they heard a commotion from the front, and the show began.

......

ORIGINAL LOVE has a distinct stage style, and the strength of the members is also remarkable, which is perfect for live performances.

After signing with the studio and the record company, and conducting more professional training, although the level of performance has not improved significantly, the performance on stage has reached a higher level, and the live performance is more enjoyable.

This is already clear when you are in the audience and feel the enthusiastic response of the audience.

Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe were among the many people who came to see the show, and although they couldn't be as fanatical as them, they were immersed in the scene and enjoyed the ORIGINAL LOVE performance.

At the end of the performance, the audience left the venue in an orderly manner, and Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe followed the crowd out.

After watching such a performance, even if the air conditioning is turned on in the venue, it makes people sweat. The venue was crowded, and Shinichi Iwahashi's shoulder bumped into Watanabe Manyumi from time to time, and his elbow rubbed against her arm from time to time.

It was the height of summer, and both of them were wearing short sleeves, and once they touched, they felt the temperature of each other's skin and exchanged their sweat.

If it weren't for such an occasion, it would have been rare for them to stand so close. Watanabe Manyumi's body temperature is slightly high, and when she occasionally touches her, Shinichi Iwahashi can clearly feel the heat coming from her.

As soon as the distance is shortened, Watanabe Manyumi's body temperature makes her whole person more warm in a sense, and she is a living woman.

......

However, the idea brought by such a feminine temperature can only be achieved when you walk out of the venue.

When he came out, Watanabe asked him, "Now go backstage and say hello to the band?"

Shinichi Iwahashi agreed. The two then walked backstage together.

At this time, ORIGINAL LOVE, who had finished their first solo performance at the Shikameikan, was holding a wrap-up meeting after the show with their manager and producer.

The band was in good shape today, and the producers were positive about them, but of course, some shortcomings were pointed out.

While the meeting was in session, the agent first noticed that Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe were coming, and hurriedly greeted them.

"Excuse me. Watanabe Manyumi greeted the band's producer politely.

The members of ORIGINAL LOVE also hurriedly saluted their president and greeted Shinichi Iwahashi. It was expected that Watanabe Manyumi would come over today, but Iwahashi Shinichi didn't expect him to come.

However, looking at Takao Tajima's reaction, Watanabe Manyumi's statement that he would be happy when he came to Tajima is true.

"Iwahashi-san also watched the performance just now?"

The producer of ORIGINAL LOVE simply asked Shinichi Iwahashi what he thought of the performance just now. Shinichi Iwahashi expressed some of his opinions, but did not say much.

Since you are not the person you are responsible for, and the other party is only politely asking, then remember that if you say too much, you will lose.

While the people behind the scenes were chatting, the band members, who were temporarily fine, began to pack up their instruments and belongings.

Takao Tajima oiled the guitar strings and was about to put them back in the case.

The space in the backstage is small, and you can see everything at a glance. Iwahashi casually looked at it and noticed that Takao Tajima was using an expensive Gibson brand electric guitar.

"It's a pretty good one. He complimented.

Takao Tajima was praised for the instrument in his hand, and he looked like he had been noticed that he had a super beautiful girlfriend, and told Shinichi Iwahashi, "...... It took a long time to save money to buy it, but it's very easy to use and worth it. ”

"I see. Iwahashi nodded cautiously, looking at the Gibson thoughtfully.

Expensive guitars......

As we spoke, there was a commotion from outside. The agent explained: "There is another performance in the Luming Pavilion, and the band that is supposed to perform is coming. ”

Sure enough, as soon as the agent finished explaining, the footsteps gradually improved, and a voice was heard: "Congratulations, Tajima-kun, performing alone in the Luming Pavilion." ”
