386. The World in the Word
Naturally, the people of Nagoya don't look much longer than people from other places.
However, in the end, it is the "Chukyo" between Kansai and Kanto, and the presence is super strong, and singers who want to tour the country will definitely not leave it out.
Speaking of which, Miwa-chan hasn't seen what the audience in Nagoya looks like, and she has already performed here when she went on tour with Bu Shiming to be a member of the harmony team.
However, if she had told her so, she would have replied with confidence: "That's different." If you don't come for us, you're not our audience, and of course you haven't seen it. ”
Guessing what she would say, Shinichi Iwahashi wouldn't go to raise the bar with her.
......
The venue for the performance, after all the performances are opened, can accommodate 450 people, which is not much stronger than a LIVEHOUSE. Even so, Miwa-chan was very happy.
When I arrived at the place and went to familiarize myself with the venue, Miwa-chan stood on the humble stage, looked at the empty space under the stage, there were no seats in the venue, only standing seats, and said to Iwahashi Shinichi with a smile, "It's much more magnificent than the LIVEHOUSE we performed at the beginning." ”
"Of course, the size of four hundred and fifty people. Iwahashi Shinichi replied.
"Four hundred and five minus two hundred and fifty ......" Miwa-chan muttered, and immediately brightened: "There are two hundred more people." "Yes, that's pretty math-wise.
"That's right, two hundred more. Iwahashi shunk-in-cheek.
Brother Nakamura listened to the conversation between the two of them and smiled demonically. Laugh while debugging your own bass.
The venue is small, and the place is small, and the audience is close. The more this happens, the more you can convey the charm of a live performance to the audience, and the easier it will be to cultivate loyal fans from the beginning.
If you think about the illusion of "always feeling that the teacher is looking at you" when you were a student, you can probably understand that if you are so close, even if you are just looking at the audience on stage and not laughing and singing for anyone, the audience will have the illusion that you are laughing at him offstage.
Students who feel that they are being stared at by the teacher will unconsciously straighten their waists, and the audience who thinks that they are being looked at differently will also feel more strongly about liking them.
During the two days in Nagoya, there were two performances every day, the first one from 5:30 to 7 p.m., and the second one started at 8 p.m. and ended at 9:30 p.m. This is the case with small venue performances, the venue rental fee is rented for one day at a time, but the place is small, and the tickets sold are always limited, so in order to return to the instinctive profit, you can only increase the number of performances.
Two performances a day in Nagoya are just a warm-up, and there are a few places on the tour that arrange four performances a day.
Fortunately, it is not four times a day in every place, otherwise it will not be able to bear it at all. In particular, Shinichi Iwahashi is still wearing a giraffe hood, and now that it is summer, before going on stage, he has to put ice stickers in his hood to cool down.
This level of dedication can compete with Disney's Mickey, right?
Such a small venue is not much similar to the rehearsal room in Tokyo, so there is no rehearsal part - besides, I have to save my strength to wait for the next two performances, so after getting familiar with the venue, before the venue opens at half past four and the audience enters, everyone retreats backstage and waits for the official performance.
When some people confirmed the venue, there were also staff who set up live booths outside the venue to sell the band's debut singles and albums.
At the beginning of their debut, no singer can avoid the promotion of performing in a small place, compared to a newcomer who uses cardboard boxes to build a stage outside a record store or in a park, and sings hard against pedestrians who refuse to stop, the band's performance starts in an indoor venue with 450 people, and has already shown the advantage of debuting as the champion of the talent show.
There was no decent lounge backstage, just a place like a grocery room for them to wait. While waiting, Miwa-chan felt nervous and bored, so she went to watch today's program.
I sang all the songs on my debut single and album, but even so, all the songs couldn't last an hour and a half, so I also equipped two stock songs that had not been released to sing.
The whole band is still based on the façade of Miwa-chan to interact with the audience, in contrast, the ordinary Yanyi young man Masato Nakamura and the emotionless giraffe man Shinichi Iwahashi are like two green leaves performing with Miwa-chan on stage for the audience.
ALTHOUGH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LIVETALK SESSION, THE THREE OF THEM HAVE THEIR OWN ARRANGEMENTS FOR SPEAKING, BUT THE FOCUS OF THE SPEECH IS STILL MIWA-CHAN, AND FOR THIS REASON, SHE ALSO WORKED HARD TO THINK ABOUT WHAT SHOULD BE SAID IN THE LIVETALK SESSION.
The scale of the show for 450 people.
How many singles and albums can be sold in the end is still a bit unreal for Miwa-chan. However, compared to hearing the number in my ears, there were 200 more people than before, and I could confirm it with my own eyes.
Will all the tickets be sold out, and how many people will come to see our show?
......
At five o'clock, the show officially began.
There are no gorgeous stage special effects, no dazzling openings, and there are no good words, and when the time comes, the three of them come on the stage from the side of the stage.
First Shinichi Iwahashi, then Masato Nakamura, and finally Miwa-chan who does not move.
She walked onto the stage and stood in the middle of the frame framed by two teammates.
There are no seats, and the audience is full of people, and I don't know if all the tickets are sold out, and I don't know how many people came, but the venue is full.
Miwa-chan looked at the full audience, and felt that her heart was also filled with the enthusiasm of the performance, whether it was nervousness or anxiety before the opening, she was squeezed away, squeezed far away, and now she just wants to sing.
"GOOD EVENING, WE ARE DREAMS COME TRUE!"
She raised the microphone to her lips and shouted like a child.
"Oooh——!!"
They were greeted by cheers from the audience.
There's no longer a redundant opening at all.,After this self-introduction,Iwahashi Shinichi gave the signal to start.,Today's first song was sung.,It's a song included in the album.,It's also the song that Iwahashi Shinichi first sang with Miwa-chan in LIVEHOUSE,"あなたに会いたくて" (I want to see you).
This is a song about a broken love, and the lyrics are quite tangled.
For these audiences who stood in the audience and came for DREAMS COME TRUE, they were familiar with Dorimuzcom, who was singing "So Happy, So Happy, So Liked!" on stage.
......
However, although it is a breakup song, it is a special breakup song. Although it is about a broken love, the style of the song is so cheerful, if you don't listen to the lyrics, you wouldn't have thought that this is actually a song about a breakup.
Standing under the stage, between the shoulders and shoulders of the audience in front of her, Ka Suzuki, who was watching the performance on the stage, couldn't help but think so in her heart.
Knowing that DREAMS COME TRUE was going to tour Nagoya, and the venue of the performance was reluctant to leave where she worked, after work, Kaka Suzuki came out of the company and came over directly, intending to buy a live ticket to watch the show.
Although I am not very interested in the band's debut album and have no plans to buy it, it is good to buy a ticket to see their live performance.
After all, what kind of debut album this band produced, although Suzuki Xiang is not clear, and she is not very willing to spend money to try unknown and new things that are not easy to try, but she has already seen their ability to perform live on the band's heavenly TV show, and she will probably not be disappointed when she comes to see the live performance.
Taking a step back, even if all the songs to be sung are boring and memorable, except for the song "So Happy, So Happy, So Happy!"
Suzuki Xiang just likes this song so much.
When she came to the performance venue and went to buy tickets, she found that the sales of tickets were even better than expected.
And the other audience members who came for DREAMS COME TRUE seemed to have the same idea as her, that is, the band's live performance ability is so strong anyway, they will definitely not step on the thunder when they come to the live performance.
Because of this, even if more than half of the audience here today were not very optimistic about the band's album, it did not prevent them from knowing that the band's tour had come to Nagoya and came to buy tickets to see the performance.
In this boom era, the frequency of people watching various performances is also increasing, and for them, buying an album that they may not like and throwing it aside is definitely not as refreshing as buying a ticket to watch the performance and feel the atmosphere.
As a result, the first song that the audience heard was a song that was completely different from the one they were expecting.
Suzuki underestimated the consistency of other people's ideas with herself, came late, did not occupy a good position, and could not devote herself 100% to watching the stage, which made her pay more attention to "music" itself, so she also paid more attention to the lyrics.
"So happy, so happy, so like!" The girl who played the straight ball and moved forward bravely, it made Suzuki Xiang feel very cute, and now it is no longer the era when girls had to be ashamed to answer, and those who like it are just to be brave enough to chase it!
What about this lovelorn song?
Listening to the lyrics and the cheerful style, Suzuki suddenly realized one thing: the women in Yoshida-san's song world are not the kind of traditional women, whether it is "So happy, so happy! I like it!", or the current song "I want to see you".
The women in Yoshida-san's song world, even if they are out of love, will straighten their waists, even if they are in a trance because of the lovelorn, even if they are still looking forward to meeting at the next street corner, walking in the turbulent sea of people, and looking forward to an accident that passes by, even so, they will not beg for redemption, they will not feel sorry for themselves, and they will not resent and blame each other.
In other words, the women she writes about are not the kind of traditional women who are "abandoned".
Just like the girl in "So Happy, So Happy, So Like!", the girl in the song "I Want to See You" is also a modern urban woman, not the traditional "resentful girl".
The worldview in the lyrics of this song is in the same vein as "so happy, so happy, so liked!".
Realizing this, Ka Suzuki couldn't help but have a clearer understanding of the band: this is what DREAMS COME TRUE.
They're not just a band with a song that they can sing, they're a band with a lot of good songs of good quality.
Suzuki Xiang had such a thought in her heart, and this thought seemed to float out of her mind again, melt into the air, and spread in the air, making the people around her have similar thoughts to her.
Or, in fact, the people around her are thinking about the same thing now, and they also think like this when they look at DREAMS COME TRUE, and because of this, the air is gradually filled with something that does not need to be declared, so that the audience understands each other-
As for the proof, that is, when the performance progressed and the band on the stage played new tunes one after another, the applause and cheers that were fed back to the three people on stage became more and more enthusiastic.
If you underestimate them, you're gone!
This ticket is so good value to buy!
So, when she started her first LIVETALK of the day after singing four songs in a row, Miwa-chan greeted the audience and said, "Good evening, thank you for coming to our show......"
In return, she was rewarded with applause and cheers from the audience, far exceeding the volume of the band's opening performance.
Surrounded by such cheers, Miwa Chan is still a little shy even though she has performed many times in the underground music industry before, but it should be part of her nature just like she is always in the band.
SHY, LIVETALK, WHO HAD DONE MY HOMEWORK BEFORE, ALSO FORGOT THE WORDS, AND IN THE END, I DIDN'T USE IT MUCH IF I WAS PREPARED, AND MORE THAN HALF OF IT WAS MADE UP ON THE SPOT.
But even so, the audience was quite applauded, and the speech was not chilled from beginning to end.
After chatting, the performance continued, and the second turn of Nakamura Masato spoke, as a green leaf, Brother Nakamura also had the consciousness of green leaves, and after a few simple words, he gave up the stage again.
His speech, or rather Iwahashi's speech later, was rather to set aside a time for Miwa-chan to drink water.
The show went on.
The audience's increasingly enthusiastic response was felt most by the people on stage, as if the teacher would never miss the students who were distracted and the students who were listening carefully.
The audience responded well, and as a performance on stage, they were even more imposing, not thinking about the next performance waiting for them, but only thinking about how to push the atmosphere of the show to the highest.
It's like it's the only one show, and I did my best until the last moment.
"Thank you—"
Finally, when the performance was over and the music stopped, the three of them stood in the middle of the stage, holding hands and bowing to the audience.
felt their best performance, and the audience also sent the last enthusiasm unreservedly.
