Makoto Kyushu took the train to Odaiba Seaside Park.

Located near Tokyo Bay, Seaside Park is one of Tokyo's most popular summer attractions. As soon as he stepped out of the subway station, he could see two seas, one on Tokyo Bay and the other on the endless sea of people.

"Oh, you're in good spirits, Kyushu-san!" A yellow-haired boy greeted him and walked over with the sunglasses on his head.

"Suzuki-san, you're dressed up in style!" Makoto Kyushu recognized the other party and said hello.

Dressed in a Hawaiian-style floral shirt and beach pants, with sunglasses on his forehead and flip-flops, Yuhito Suzuki looks like a standard beach resort youth.

"Of course! Today's performer is my favorite rock guitarist! Of course I want to dress as handsome as possible! Yuhito Suzuki flicked his yellow bangs and grinned triumphantly, revealing his shiny teeth:

"I've been a fan of Pochi Silverhand since junior high school, and I support almost every show! I had taught myself piano for her before, and my dream was to be a keyboardist in her band! ”

"I didn't know you had such a hobby." Kyushu Makoto also smiled and looked at him thoughtfully, feeling a little sarcastic in his heart.

It turns out that Yuhito Suzuki is an out-and-out rock and roll youth, as well as his favorite idols and bands.

But if it was placed before the "Chen Jiuzhou" crossing, I am afraid no one would have imagined that a bad boy who was a bully and bullied poor classmates in school would have such a dreamy and youthful side, right?

But irony is irony, Yuhito Suzuki has now been broken back to the right path and changed his ways. It is also a fact that he once helped himself save the bullied Mizuhashi schoolgirl.

Kyushu Makoto is willing to show mercy to give him a chance to forgive, and look at him with a normal heart.

"What about the others?" Makoto Kyushu asked again.

"They're coming soon!" Yuhito Suzuki handed over a bottle of ice mineral water: "Actually, I still want to call a few girls over, but this kind of occasion is really suitable for boys." ”

"Of course." Makoto Kyushu took the mineral water and smiled: "It should be embarrassing to take a girl to a bikini rock concert, right?" ”

"It's not all bikinis! It's the rock 'n' roll that counts! Rock! Yuhito Suzuki hurriedly defended.

"But you don't deny that you want to see a bikini~" At this moment, Tang Zegui walked towards the two, and Genji Takatsuki also followed behind:

"Yo, long time no see! I met Takatsuki at the station, so we came together. ”

"Yo." Genji Takatsuki put his hands in his pockets and said hello casually.

Similar to Suzuki, Karasawa wore a classic Hawaiian beach attire: a floral shirt and floral pants. However, he is relatively fat, and this light outfit completely outlines the shape of his bulging belly, and he looks as full of joy as a comedian.

Genji Takatsuki was dressed in pure black, with a black hooded short-sleeved T-shirt and black wide-legged trousers. The skull print on the chest of his shirt and his hooligan-like big back completely reveal a terrifying aura that no one can enter.

After the four of them met and said hello, General Tang Zegui began to look around, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Oh~ This girl in a lace-side swim dress is so amazing! Oh, the body is amazing! The one who wears the dead reservoir water is also great, and the conservatives never go out of style! I can see so many beauties, it's worth the ticket price to die of a nosebleed today! ”

"Alright, be serious!" Yuhito Suzuki knocked him on the head and reminded, "Don't shout so loudly, everyone next to you heard it!" ”

"What qualifications do you pervert who wants to see a bikini concert teach me a lesson!" Tang Zegui immediately choked back and stretched out his hand to fight back.

"Shut up, don't be ashamed." Genji Takatsuki obviously didn't want the two of them to quarrel on the street, so he scolded in a deep voice.

With this "former big brother" speaking, the two immediately settled down and stopped arguing.

The concert was held in the Esplanade Park. The organizers temporarily set up a stage on the beach, and when the four of them arrived, many spectators had already gathered here, so it was very lively.

The four of them went to the ticket office and bought tickets - 500 yen each. In terms of the popularity of the band Takeshi in Tokyo, this price is basically equal to half selling and half giving away.

It is said that after the debut of the band, the band has always insisted on selling tickets at low prices, and almost never increased the price, so it has gained a lot of popularity.

However, a small shop next to the box office with a "souvenir" sign revealed the band's main source of income.

This small tent shop sells everything from music-related albums and co-branded instruments, to themed badges, photo photos, and co-branded shirts that are purely souvenirs. Everything is available, and there are already long queues of customers checking out.

Obviously, the band's business strategy is to attract customers with low-cost tickets, and the main income is to sell merchandise. I have to say, this is a very clever strategy.

"It's . An early preview of their new album Burn the Moon: Reload! Yuhito Suzuki plunged into the souvenir shop and swam in it with a light in his eyes:

"And the record of their second album "Mygo Samurai" is also on sale! I searched all over Tokyo and couldn't find it! ”

"Guest, you really have a vision~" The shopkeeper blew the wind with a support fan, and smiled shrewdly like a goblin:

"In fact, the distributor of the music company to which the band belongs is an acquaintance of mine, and I have a lot of out-of-print albums on the market, and they are genuinely authorized and sold at the original price."

"Wow! I remember that the price of this record has tripled on the second-hand market! Yuhito Suzuki's eyes were fixed on the record, and he exclaimed in amazement:

"I didn't expect the boss to have this kind of out-of-print goods, and he still wants to sell it to me at the original price?"

"Because I'm also a fan of the band, I appreciate the hard work and talent of those girls." The shopkeeper crossed his hands on his hips and said:

"If their music is going to be a tool for scalpers to make money, I'm the first to oppose it! That's why I hid these out-of-print records in the most secret places on the shelves, so that only loyal fans like you can find them at a glance. ”

The shop owner added, "By the way, even if you are a loyal fan, you can only buy one piece per person, and you have to buy it with a product that costs more than 500 yen." Although it's a bit opportunistic, it's also to prevent scalpers from sweeping goods in large quantities, understand? ”

"No problem! Thank you so much! Yuhito Suzuki took out his wallet and looked at it, and went to check out with the record.

After Yuhito Suzuki came out of the souvenir shop, the four of them went to the audience together.

VIP tickets are required for the front row of spectators, and tickets for the four of them are for ordinary seats. The four of them managed to squeeze into the middle section. Although it is a little far from the stage, you can clearly see the performance on stage.

"By the way, when I bought the ticket just now, the staff insisted on giving me a Coke." Makoto Kyushu held a large glass of ice coke, and the ice cubes made a crisp sound with the shaking of the cup:

"It's really inexplicable, I said I don't drink carbonated drinks anymore, and he insisted on giving it to me."

Not only Kyushu Makoto, but all other audience members who bought tickets were forced to give a glass of Coke by the staff, like some kind of strange consumerist ritual.

"Buying a ticket and giving a drink is actually an unwritten tradition of Livehouse~" Yuhito Suzuki drank the cola in his hand and explained:

"If a drink is given away when a Livehouse ticket is sold, then the deal is nominally asking the customer to pay for the drink, not to pay for a concert ticket."

"The former is a food service transaction, and the tax required to be paid is much lower than that of the latter, and there is no need for complicated declaration procedures, which is beneficial for performance bands with limited funds and the owners who provide performance venues, so many livehouse shows have begun to follow this operation, and over time the traditional rule of buying livehouse tickets with free drinks has been formed."

"And this kind of story" Kyushu Makoto nodded and raised his Coke cup: "Do any of you want to drink my Coke?" ”

"I drink! Thank you, Kyushu-san! Tang Zegui couldn't wait to take the Coke.

The audience was chatting noisily, waiting for the show to begin.

"Beep——!"

Suddenly, there was a cacophony of noises.

"Hey, Microphone Test! Microphone Test! ”

"Really, the microphone didn't malfunction, but I still used the "microphone test" as the opening statement. It's like the bass can't hear the sound during the performance, but the band still needs to have a bass player~"

At some point, four girls in their twenties had already arrived on the stage. It is a four-piece band configuration of guitarist, vocalist, drummer, and bassist.

As Yuhito Suzuki said, all four girls have the appearance and temperament of idols, and they all wore summer swimsuits to perform on stage this time.

The three girls with red, blue and yellow hair dyed each wore three-point swimsuits, fully showing off their youthful and beautiful figures. The fourth pink-haired girl is more conservative and wears a one-piece swimsuit. However, it is worth noting that the pink-haired girl's right arm is a silver mechanical arm.

If I'm not mistaken, the pink-haired girl is Yuhito Suzuki's favorite "Pochi Silver Hand".

"Speaking of the Martial Arts Band, although the four members are all excellent, the most popular is Pochi Silverhand!" Yuhito Suzuki enthusiastically introduced:

She lost an arm in her childhood and has since suffered from severe social phobia. However, in junior high school, she was fascinated by the guitar performance on TV, so she was advised by her doctor to install a new prosthetic model of the experimental model, actively returned to school, and began to teach herself guitar. ”

Before her high school debut, she was already very good at guitar skills, and her personal vlog had hundreds of thousands of followers. After joining the band, she is also trying to overcome the problem of social fear, and she is a strong and talented girl! ”

Makoto Kyushu looked at the pink-haired prosthetic girl, although she didn't say a word the whole time, she was already holding the guitar and eager to try.

"It's very inspiring!" Kyushu was amazed, and he also admired this one-armed guitar girl in his heart.

The red-haired girl, who was in charge of stirring up the atmosphere, picked up the microphone and made the opening remarks before the performance:

"We've been waiting for you a long time, and welcome to our Summer Beach Livehouse! Thank you all for your continued support! Listen to our first new song, "Full Summer, Full Life"! ”
