Please pick up the little notebook in your hand, popular science is here.

The Fuji Rock Festival, commonly known as "Fuji Rock" for short, was founded in 1997.

As a pioneer of RB rock events, the festival is the largest outdoor music event in Asia with more than 200 groups of domestic and foreign musicians participating in each event, and has become the largest rock music festival in Asia.

The first Fuji Rock Festival was held on July 26-27, 1997 at the Fuji Tenjin Ski Resort, with 30,000 participants.

In 1999, the Fuji Rock Festival officially moved its venue to Naeba Ski Resort in Niigata, and expanded the duration of the festival from two days to three days.

The stage has gradually expanded to a green stage, a white stage, a wilderness paradise, a dance studio, a newcomer stage, and other stages, with a capacity of more than 100,000 people.

The 2003 Fuji Rock Festival, held on July 25, 26 and 27, sold out for the first time and attracted 100,000 participants.

Some people say that Fuji Rock is like a small village that brings together people who love music in the summer.

By 2005, the Fuji Rock Festival had 11 large and small stages, from the festival's main stage, the Green Stage, to the smaller stage, Kidoiwa, enough to keep the audience entertained for three days.

As a newcomer band that is already well-known for participating in the Fuji Rock Festival for the first time, THE SUN will perform on the biggest stage, the Fuji Rock Festival's main stage, the GREEN STAGE.

The GREEN STAGE, an outdoor stage with a capacity of about 40,000 people, is also the main stage of the Fuji Music Festival.

To this day, many legendary concerts have been held here.

Thanks to the large screen, you can see the stage from any angle, and this stage is the stage that all newcomer bands dream of standing on.

At this Fuji Rock Festival, there was a band that Kiyoshi Sakamoto was very interested in.

That is the most eye-catching band in this year's Fuji Rock Festival, the British rock band "Coldplay" Coldplay.

As the veterans of the Fuji Music Festival, they have been unknown from the beginning, and this year, they are already the world's top bands.

If it is the audience who participated in the first session, when they see Coldplay, they will definitely sigh, time flies...

And THE SUN, composed of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, also participated in the Fuji Rock Festival for the first time this year, and whether they can impress the audience depends on their live strength.

The organizers also think highly of THE SUN, not only arranging their performance stage on the main stage, but also specially arranging the performance time of THE SUN at 8 p.m., which is more atmospheric.

These arrangements have made the three members of the SUN band both moved and pressured.

And that's not all.

Seven o'clock in the evening, Niigata Prefecture Naeba Ski Resort, band standby tent.

All three of them were focused on checking their instruments and adjusting their mindsets.

So much so that TBS TV, the film crew sent by the "Love Continent" program team to shoot Kiyoshi Sakamoto came in, and the three of them didn't notice it.

However, this is also in line with the intention of the film crew, because the filming of this kind of documentary program must be carried out without disturbing the work of the person being filmed, so the film crew of "Love Hot Continent" is also happy to be invisible, just shooting some shots of Kiyoshi Sakamoto adjusting the guitar on the side.

At this time, when the three of them who were doing their own things heard the very bland words that came out of the mouth of the agent Uncle Ishida, the three people who were originally very nervous because the performance time was at night became even more nervous.

"Your order of appearance seems to be right in front of Coldplay!"

Playing in front of Coldplay???

The three of them glanced at each other, swallowed their saliva at the same time, and the tension in their hearts still did not decrease by half.

Even Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the soul of the well-informed band, feels a little pressured.

Although the three of them have been practicing together in the past few days, they still practiced both songs before the start of the rock festival.

However, practicing in a practice room and performing on an open-air stage with more than 40,000 spectators are completely different concepts.

It doesn't matter if you make a mistake a hundred times in the practice room, but on stage, the slightest mistake is equivalent to a failure in the performance.

That's why LIVE is the life of a rock band.

Only LIVE can perfectly show the performance skills of a rock band.

A singer who lives in a recording studio is not a singer at all.

When the whole band was immersed in tension and needed someone to stand up the most, Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't think too much about it and spoke.

"Hey!

Kiyoshi Sakamoto clapped his palms, which attracted the attention of Shin Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, and at the same time attracted the attention of the TBS film crew, and the lens of the camera immediately turned to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Both of them looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto suspiciously, not knowing what Kiyoshi Sakamoto wanted to say at this time.

Uncle Ishida, who was on the side, saw that Kiyoshi Sakamoto had spoken, so he smiled and stood to the side, watching how Kiyoshi Sakamoto eliminated the tension of his teammates.

"As a qualified leader and soul person, Qing, let me see how you do!!"

"Who are we?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't care about the camera crew and camera in the tent, and asked Ogawa and Chiba very seriously.

"Uh, we're THE SUN?" replied Masaki Chiba, a little uncertain.

"Wrong, we're newcomers!"

Sakamoto's volume suddenly increased by a few degrees, and on the word "newcomer", the bite was very clear.

"Rookie?" Ogawa and Chiba continued to look at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, waiting for his next words.

"We're just a young band, a band that's only been around for a year, a newcomer to the Fuji Rock Festival for the first time, we didn't come here to compete with Coldplay, we came to perform with them, and we didn't need to be nervous at all as newcomers to the band. ”

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was speaking, paused slightly, saw that the two of them were listening to his speech very seriously, and then continued.

"Because from the moment we stood on such a big stage, we were already winners!!"

"Bloom on the stage to your heart's content, the light that belongs to our SUN, that's what we're going to consider!!"

"So, all we have to do is leave the tension, the stress here, go on stage, and for the next six minutes, don't think about anything else, just have fun!"

After Sakamoto Kiyoshi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, palm down, and then gestured to Makogawa and Chiba Masaki with his eyes.

The bassist and drummer of the band smiled at each other, and then they all stretched out their hands and put them on the back of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's hand, and the hands of the three of SUN were stacked together.

"One, two, three!" is still Sakamoto Kiyoshi to call the slogan.

"Come on!"

Then the hands of the three of them were raised into the air at the same time...

However, this scene was clearly recorded by the camera.

"This should stay. The film crew PD on the side thought to himself.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto looked at the raised hand and couldn't help but think of the cultural festival, the first stage of THE SUN.

"Do you remember our first performance at the cultural festival?" asked Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

"Of course. ”

"Hmm. ”

"We weren't called THE SUN then... Kiyoshi Sakamoto said in a sighing tone.

"Now that I think about it, the light of the sunrise, the name, is really LO ... At this time, Ogawa really had a cold face, and a complaint that came out of his mouth made Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Chiba Masaki laugh.

"Hahahaha!!"

Looking at the two laughing people, Xiao Chuan, a calm brother, also raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Masaki Chiba, who are full of smiles, and Makoto Ogawa, who raises the corners of their mouths, this precious clip that can be sold at a high price for the fans of the SUN band, was also faithfully recorded by the film crew of "Love Continent".

After this small episode, the three sons of THE SUN have calmed down and relieved their tension a lot.

For the next half hour, the three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi sat in the band standby tent, the sound of music outside and the cheers of the crowd constantly impacted the entire space, but in it, there was no commotion in the hearts of the three of them.

Because, soon, it's time for them to play.

What is needed now is, calm.

7:50.

"THE SUN, prepare, ten minutes later, on stage!" a staff member of the organizer walked in with a form printed on the order of the performances, reminding the three who were already a little impatient.

Hearing the news, the three of them immediately picked up their musical instruments, each of them first high-fived Uncle Ishida, and then followed the staff to the green stage.

Along the way, looking at Niigata at night, surrounded by a large number of trees, stepping on the tender green grass on the ground, grassy roads, and the presence of no garbage, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is extremely agreeable, and people praise this Fuji rock music festival.

"It's the cleanest music festival in the world!"

A few minutes later, the trio came backstage to the green stage and waited.

From the backstage, you can clearly see and hear the excitement of the audience below the stage and some screams from time to time.

The Fuji Rock Festival at night is the most authentic Fuji Rock!!

The audience swayed to the music, jumped and cheered.

On the stage, the performers are immersed in the selfless and passionate performance, which makes people's blood boil.

"Some people say that rock lovers who haven't been to a rock festival don't know what rock 'n' roll is all about... Ogawa Makoto, who was standing next to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, suddenly said this to him.

"I agree. Kiyoshi Sakamoto replied to him.

"Then let's let them see what our rock 'n' roll is like!"
