The band's performances are of a very high standard.
All three musicians have been honed in the underground music industry for many years, and they also have rich experience in supporting concerts.
With strong teammates as support, as well as months of singing training and stage performance training, Sachiko Kamaike's performance on stage is a rapid improvement compared to when she first joined the band.
After all, he is an ordinary person who is a halfway monk.
Sachiko Kamaike, who made a small joke at the beginning, slowly unfolded the performance, which not only made the audience in Osaka tolerate her small mistakes, but also recognized the band's performance.
The performance is getting better, and after seeing the level of the band, the atmosphere in the venue is getting more and more enthusiastic.
Audiences who didn't know anything about ZARD saw the performance of a band with a debut level online, but for Iwahashi Shinichi, it was clear that Sachiko Kamaike had progressed.
Of course, the performance was not perfect, and Sachiko Kamaike's performance was not impeccable, but it made Shinichi Iwahashi understand what kind of room for improvement she has.
She's really a talented player.
On stage, while Sachiko Kamaike sang, she never forgot Haruko Akamatsu's advice to "don't refuse to communicate with the audience", trying to interact with the audience like a professional singer.
However, it is a bit difficult to cope with singing and interaction at the same time.
When she sang the fourth song, she accidentally forgot the words again, embarrassed and shy, and stuck out her tongue.
The audience in this scene probably already knows that the lead singer of this band sticks out his tongue when he is embarrassed. However, for Sachiko Kamaike's small mistake, the audience in Osaka tolerated cheers as encouragement.
That's the way it is, if your level is excellent, then, with the occasional small mistake, the audience will be tolerant. However, if the standard is not enough, and such a mistake occurs, it will receive boos from the audience.
However, on the one hand, Sachiko Kamaike's performance level was recognized, and on the other hand, Iwahashi Shinichi thought that although she was clumsy and did not understand the essentials, her kindness to the audience was still conveyed to the audience.
The audience's tolerance of the singer, in addition to the recognition of her strength, at the same time, also feels that they are being respected.
Iwahashi looked at Sachiko Kamaike's performance and knew that she was trying hard to find a way to communicate with the audience, trying to look directly at the audience and respond to their enthusiasm.
However, being in such a hurry made the matter of communicating with the audience become a shackle on her during the performance.
The last time I saw Sachiko Kamaike perform was a few months ago, and at that time, Sachiko Kamaike didn't know how to perform on stage, and Shinichi Iwahashi was able to let her go to the honing.
However, after so many performances, you still don't know the essentials, so you can't just think about whether the training level is enough.
......
At the end of the show, the band retreated backstage to wait for Encore's return.
For this link, there are also staff members mixed in the audience. If the audience in Osaka doesn't have encore, then they will be responsible for turning on encore.
Happily, however, the pre-prepared staff did not come in handy, and as soon as the band retreated backstage, the audience in Osaka spontaneously applauded and shouted encore to the stage.
In a small field, as long as there is a symbolic one or two voices in the encore, the singer will come back immediately.
What's more, the current encore formation is not "symbolic".
Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe are also in the audience now, and the two of them also clapped together. The performance is really wonderful, Sachiko Kamaike's singing power and the tacit understanding between the bands are all visible to the naked eye improving.
Compared to Shinichi Iwahashi, Manyumi Watanabe is more like an "ordinary spectator".
In terms of music, she doesn't know much about professional things, but she also finds her own position and listens to it as an ordinary audience.
Since she is making music for the general public, she is first of all impressed by her, a member of the general audience.
Obviously, tonight, ZARD's show, did just that.
Although it is not perfect and has many flaws, it does touch her heart as an ordinary audience.
At this point, the band was back on stage.
It seems that all four of them are in a good mood. The fact that the performance was recognized by the Osaka audience from the Tokyo expedition to Osaka was undoubtedly heartening.
Sachiko Kamaike, who was surrounded in the middle of the humble stage, was sweating all over, and her forehead and sideburns were also wet. But it makes her whole person look beautiful and vibrant.
When you see a promotional poster, you may think that she is a vase. But after watching her performance, you know that she is not a lifeless vase, but has a vivid beauty rooted in the soil and full of vitality.
"Thank you, everyone in Osaka!"
This time, Sachiko Kamaike finally didn't forget "Osaka's".
Maybe she was moved by the enthusiasm of the Osaka audience, or maybe it was just because she finally said the words she had forgotten at the beginning, but after saying this, she paused and smiled slightly.
A relieved expression.
The audience gave her another round of applause. Shinichi Iwahashi was offstage, and he felt that the communication between Sachiko Kamaike and the audience at this moment was the most successful one of tonight's performances.
He looked at Sachiko Kamaike on the stage, thoughtful.
The musicians counted the beats, and the encore performance began.
When there was still the last song left, the music stopped, and Sachiko Kamaike introduced to the audience, "This is the last song of the night, and it is also the band's debut single that has just been released, and the name of the song is "γΎγ£γγγ«...". β
"The title of the song has a straightforward connotation, but it can also be said to be 'always moving forward'. Sachiko Kamaike talked about the song and the lyrics, trying to convey her thoughts when she wrote the lyrics to the audience.
This was not easy to do, and she focused on it, forgetting for a moment that Haruko Akamatsu told her to watch the audience.
β...... In short, it's a song like the title, frank and refreshing. She said.
If you can convey something in the lyrics to the audience and make the audience resonate, even if it is only a little bit, then it is a supreme happiness for the creator.
"Please listen, "γΎγ£γγγ«...". Sachiko Kamaike's voice fell, and the musician counted the beats.
The band sang the last song of the night.
......
At the end of the performance, Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe followed the audience and left the venue in an orderly manner.
After coming out, they went backstage together.
On the way, Iwahashi Shinichi remembered something, raised his wrist and looked at the time, it was half past eight. He pulled out his pager and checked the letter. However, I didn't see the one that I just thought of in my heart.
He remained silent and put the pager back.
Watanabe Manyumi looked ahead, "Tonight's performance is really good. β
"Definitely. Iwahashi nodded cautiously and considered his words, "Sachiko-san, and the band, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped. β
Regarding this, Watanabe Manyumi also agreed.
The two went backstage.
The four members of the band, with the accompanying staff. I knew that Shinichi Iwahashi and Manyumi Watanabe would come over, and the summary meeting after the performance did not start immediately, but waited for the two of them to be in place.
"Good work. β
After a brief greeting, everyone stood face-to-face in the corridor backstage for a summary meeting.
This picture, although there will be bad associations such as punishment stations and lectures, but it is really because the backstage space is really small, so many people, there is no room that can accommodate them all.
"Tonight's show was fantastic. Shinichi Iwahashi gave praise to the band.
At this time, Watanabe Manyumi often consciously plays a supporting role and is responsible for auditing on the side.
"Especially the cooperation of several people, it is very tacit. He said.
Bands and bands, with a strong focus on phases. If a team of people is not coordinated in any way they look together, and the weirdness is not intentional, it will be difficult (but not impossible) to climb to the top.
However, it is better to bet on whether it is the chosen one.
When Iwahashi Shinichi spoke, Sachiko Kamaike kept staring at him, like this, as if she was ready to be named at any time. She was very concerned about what Shinichi Iwahashi thought of her performance tonight, and more importantly, she wanted to hear what he thought of her performance.
Sachiko Kamaike knew that she was not good at dealing with the audience, and she couldn't find a suitable way.
Therefore, I wanted to hear Iwahashi Shinichi tell her. Iwahashi Shinichi, who opened the closed door of her dreams for her, Sachiko Kamaike unconsciously trusts him and relies on him a little.
However, Shinichi Iwahashi did not mention the topic of communication with the audience that she cared about.
Sachiko Kamaike felt a little lost.
......
It was 9:10 p.m.
Akina Nakamori has a full schedule today, from morning to night.
However, she has a lot of energy to work. When I went to catch the last game in the evening, even the agent Daben felt tired, but when I looked at Akina Nakamori, I was still full of energy, as if I couldn't run out of energy.
Big Ben couldn't help but be convinced by Akina Nakamori.
Akina Nakamori didn't know that Big Ben was secretly admiring him, and when the work was over, she thought about what she had told Shinichi Iwahashi about changing her phone call today.
I'll call it when I get home......
Thinking that she would be able to call him when she was done, Akina Nakamori's energy filled her body again, as if dialing out the phone was a reward for her work.
This kind of mentality is really like a child who is allowed to watch TV as long as he finishes his homework.
However, Akina Nakamori herself does not feel childish.
Finally, the work was over and I got into the car. Although there was no expression on her face, Big Ben sensed that she was in a good mood from her small movements.
Even if she is already an adult, at this time, Akina Nakamori still doesn't know how to hide her emotions.
After the resumption of work in the New Year, the Ming Cai sauce became weird...... Big Ben thought quietly.
Akina Nakamori didn't care at all what the agent was thinking.
When she got home, she changed her clothes and picked up the phone.
