Chapter 338: An Alternative Touring Proposal

Judging from the current situation, this band that only releases a mini album is clearly in the state of "going back to my hometown after this ticket".

It's just that since it has been announced that the team will be formed until the end of the year, there will still be corresponding activities.

As for this event, what can you do? It's just going to a show, going to a music festival, or having a concert or something.

For participating in the music group,,The three of them are a little lacking.,Actually,After being in the circle for a long time.,Fame, popularity, status, and so on.,I'm not so enthusiastic about the promotion of the running group.。

What's more, the sound of this thing, that is, the time of the publicity period, can't be even half a year, right?

In addition, going to a music festival or something, this is quite good, especially Ye Zhao, who has never performed at a music festival, so when he heard this proposal during the planning period, he was the first person to raise his hand.

Okuda Minsheng and Kuramochi Yoichi also agreed. For singing live, these two people belong to the more enthusiastic type. In this regard, the three of them will not disagree at all.

Of course, whether it's participating in a music group or singing at a music festival, these alone can't last up to half a year. In addition to these, the way to form a team that can be used is, of course, ...... Toured.

But one of the biggest characteristics of touring is that it is "long". The preparation period is long, the battle line is long, and the song list must be long. Therefore, a serious tour will not work for this band that has only six songs in common for half a year.

However, although the tour of the serious eight classics does not work, there is still a way to do it for the tour of the less serious eight classics.

After a discussion with the executive producer, they finally decided to do a "special" tour.

Generally speaking, when it comes to touring, it is indispensable to have venues of various sizes, which may have to use thousands of staff in total, and with the singer's own tour route being constantly transported to transport all kinds of equipment and equipment in the past, as for the early stage design and planning, various stage effects, as well as the accompanying team dancers, design peripherals and so on.

However, for this tour, they were going to do almost none of the above.

The protagonists are the three of them, and the musical instruments are only three guitars, plus Yoichi Kuramochi's harmonica, and the venue is not needed at all, but chooses an open-air venue such as a park where the tour is booked.

If you want to say that you can't do without it, that is, the staff who help coordinate and maintain order.

The reason why I chose such a tour mode, first of all, is of course to take into account the regular tour, the current conditions are not so allowed, the venue problem cannot be solved in place, and if too much manpower and material resources are used, considering the cost problem, it is not realistic.

On the second point, whether it is Ye Zhao, Okuda Minsheng and Kuramochi Yoichi, the three of them don't have so much time to prepare for the concert.

Kuramochi Yoichi also has to take care of his own band activities, Okuda Minsheng also has a new album to produce, and Ye Zhao is even busier here, not only to record a new album of his own in the middle, but also a film waiting to be produced, and to take a few months to prepare for the tour, this kind of thing is too unrealistic to do now.

But what really made them decide to go on such a tour, which seems to be the only folk artists of the '60s and '70s, was because all three of them felt that since they were a band formed out of interest, they might as well be more casual in the form of touring.

It's like like-minded music lovers getting together and playing and singing for the people around them on holiday, and this kind of concert format may be more in line with their ideas when they first formed a team.

The first person to mention this plan was Ye Zhao, and the reason why he thought of it was because he recalled the time when it was released, and he had to start a tour from Hokkaido because there were no publicity resources.

Minsheng Okuda and Yoichi Kuramochi were also very interested in this plan, and the team that was in charge of the band's executive producers and staff for the time being also felt that the plan was very feasible, so they began to discuss it in detail based on the proposal.

After all, none of the three of them are underground singers, so even if they want to go to Ueno Park to sell their songs on the fly, they still have to work out a concrete plan with the consent of the record company and the studio.

Including the publicity that Ye Zhao did before, he also did it when he informed Nagato Daiyuki in advance, plus his own brokerage contract was still in his hands, and he was accompanied by an agent and assistant.

While the album was being produced, the record company was planning the proposal, and the three of them participated in the proposal, but because it was difficult to unify the time, the record company staff had to send someone to interview and discuss with them separately, exchange the combined opinions and ideas, and collect new opinions and ideas.

In the midst of such an invisible busyness, with the production of the mini-album coming to an end, the general plan for this tour with the band was also decided.

Considering that the work of the three people is mainly concentrated in the last two or three months, the start of the tour is scheduled for September.

In the period leading up to September, it is also possible to participate in music and music festivals, so from the announcement of the band's formation to the release of the album until the end of the year, the band will always be in a state of activity, which is in line with the slogan "Lasting until the end of the year".

As for the selection of songs, six songs can't hold up a concert? It doesn't matter, the three of them have released a lot of works, as long as they choose from the songs they have released.

In terms of song selection, they adopted the method of "the other party chooses the song", that is, they do not choose their own songs, but the other two people choose the songs they want to sing.

Because it's a minimalist tour, there are very few things to prepare, and even after the tour starts, there is basically no obstacle to the other work of the three of them, and the record company's expenses are not too much, plus it also satisfies the interests of the three people, so it can be called a happy result.

Of course, this tour is still in the preparatory stage, and Ye Zhao and the others don't have anything to do for the time being. However, the staff behind them are going to be busy from now on.
