Chapter 17: Starlight Kirakira (Ask for Collection)
A live house is a space where music performances can be shown, a venue for small concerts by bands and independent singers, and the main stage for neon underground idols.
Live house is different from nightclubs and bars, the venue is generally not large, but it is better to be small and exquisite, generally accommodating 300-500 people.
The rental cost of this kind of venue is not high, and the young people of Neon are very enthusiastic about idol culture, and they have just debuted, or are a well-known band group, and their performances will be chosen in this location.
Performances such as rap, rock, and heavy metal are also commonly performed on such occasions...... Because the number of spectators is usually small, the venue doesn't need to be too big.
"Live house?"
Minami Yamabuki was surprised and fresh when he learned of this place.
"Have you been there before?"
As soon as Osamu Kamiya saw her reaction, he asked without repulsion or disgust.
Unlike karaoke, which is a closed and dark space, a live house is also a dimly lit place, but it is still a public place because of the large number of people.
When dating a girl, the most taboo thing is monkey urgency, or the purpose is too strong.
Of course, this also varies from person to person...... But if you want to have a good relationship with a good girl like Yamabuki Minami, it's best to hide your fangs.
"Haven't been, but I've heard of it...... Kamiya-kun, did you want to take me to a place yesterday, which is the live house? β
Yamabuki Minami shook his head, and he was curious.
"Of course not, I just heard you say that your dream is an idol, and you should be interested in live house, anyway, I have long wanted to see it, so I decided to go to live house first."
Shuichi Kamiya shook his head and explained.
"So where are we going after the show?"
Minami Yamabuki wondered what he wanted to take him to yesterday.
"Don't worry, wait until you finish the show."
In response to this question, Shuichi Kamiya did not reveal the mystery, but just smiled and reassured.
"Okay."
When Minami Yamabuki saw that he wanted to keep it secret, he didn't ask anymore.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at their destination, a live house called Muse, which had to be reached by turning the corner stairs to the main entrance.
Before entering the store, there is a tall girl at the door, who looks like a high school student, with a gorgeous and beautiful uniform and short skirt, and a girl wearing black silk who is holding a board, and a ticket is 3,000 yen.
"It's expensive."
When Minami Yamabuki saw this price, he was immediately shocked.
"Actually, it's not expensive, because the 3,000 yen includes the performance, the drink of your choice, the support props, and the handshake roll."
Seeing her attitude, it seemed that she was resigned, and the girl who was the conductor and ticket inspector immediately explained.
ββ¦β¦β
Minami Yamabuki is really reluctant, and 3,000 yen to watch a show is too expensive for high school students.
"Here's my online ticket purchase record, you can take a look."
At this moment, Shuichi Kamiya took out his mobile phone to open a certain page and handed it to her.
Knowing that he was buying tickets online, the girl looked up at him, only to find that this male guest was so handsome, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Even if I am an idol in the entertainment industry, I have seen many handsome guys...... But it's rare to see someone as handsome as this guest, and it's completely unexpected.
"Excuse me, could you please let me take a closer look?"
It's just that the girl quickly came back to her senses and asked seriously.
"Of course."
Shuichi Kamiya nodded slightly and handed her the phone.
"Thank you very much for supporting the Starlight Kirakira group, this is your ticket, the show will start at 13 o'clock, please come in."
After carefully checking the ticket purchase page on her mobile phone and confirming that it was correct, the girl put the sign under her armpit, took out two tickets from the pocket of her pleated skirt, and handed them to them with a spring breeze.
Walking into the store, there is a staircase at the entrance, and they go down.
"Kamiya-kun, this is for you."
Halfway through, Yamabuki Minami, who followed into the store, also opened the small bag, took out three thousand-yuan bills from it and handed them to him.
Her heart felt like it was dripping blood...... Just for a show, 3,000 yen flew like this.
With so much money, it's enough for her to eat for a week, and it's enough for her to buy a few cosmetics.
"Don't be so polite, didn't you treat me to lunch just now? It's a return gift. β
Shuichi Kamiya waved his hand a little amusefully when he saw her heartache, as if his heart was dripping blood.
"But the lunch just now was only 1,600 yen, which is not even half of a ticket."
Minami Yamabuki felt that this was not equal, and there was no way to smooth it out.
"Then treat me to a better meal next time, and it was my idea to come to the live house, I want to invite you to a show."
Shuichi Kamiya doesn't care about anything, it's just a 3,000 yen ticket for an underground performance, and if he can help Minami Yamabuki find his dreams and goals, complete his growth tasks, and reward a little sunshine, he will undoubtedly make a lot of money.
"Okay."
Yamabuki Minami saw that he had no intention of accepting it at all, so he had to give up.
Tickets aside, they walked all the way down the stairs, and their eyes suddenly opened up.
"It's so lively."
Officially entering the store, Shuichi Kamiya saw a dense crowd.
Most of the guests were men, and roughly speaking, there were at least 50 people, and most of the tables in the live house were full.
Although there are a lot of people, it doesn't seem crowded, because the site is quite large and the space utilization rate is high.
"Did you pay 3,000 yen to come in and watch the show?"
Yamabuki Minami also nodded sympathetically, and unconsciously approached Shuichi Kamiya.
Aware of her small movements, Kamiya Shu did not change his color, but a smile appeared in his heart
When faced with an unfamiliar environment, girls will subconsciously seek a sense of security and familiar things.
If you want to get closer to a girl on a date, you don't necessarily have to choose a private occasion, and it's also good to have an occasion like this.
"Two guests, please come here to pick up the supplies."
Walking down the stairs completely, there was a small table on the side, and a girl stood behind the stage.
On the countertop, there are four kinds of light signs with different names written on them, as well as many glow sticks.
The first time I came to the live house, the emphasis was on participation, and Shuichi Kamiya naturally cooperated and walked over.
"Which member do you like the most? By the way, choose the corresponding supporter, and you can shake hands with your favorite idol after the performance. β
The girl was a little surprised to see Shuichi Kamiya so handsome, or the idol chef, but it was still a normal introduction.
"You choose first."
Shuichi Kamiya doesn't know much about the four members, after all, it's an idol group found casually on the Internet, and there happens to be a performance today, and it's not far away.
"I want this, Yumemi."
Minami Yamabuki looked at the table and chose the idol support with the largest number of remaining light signs.
She doesn't know her anyway, so it's better to support the less popular idols.
"I'm for her, too."
Seeing her make a choice, Shuichi Kamiya naturally followed.
"The show will start in 12 minutes, and before it starts, if you want to go to the bathroom, it's over there. If you want to have a drink, you can go to the bar, and with your ticket, you can choose your own drink, and the entrance to the venue is there. Since they are all standing tickets, if you want a good location, it is best to enter as soon as possible. β
The girls who were responsible for distributing the support materials, seeing that they had made a choice, also gave them a brief introduction to the situation of the venue.
"Thank you."
Minami Yamabuki was a little grateful when she heard such a detailed introduction.
Entering the crowd, they first went to the bar and ordered a drink, mostly carbonated drinks such as cola and Sprite, as well as drinks such as orange juice, oolong tea, and green tea.
After a turn, because it was not far from the show, they entered.
"There are so many people."
Walking through a door, Shuichi Kamiya was a little surprised.
Because in front of the stage of the performance, there are already clusters of people, and it is even more lively, and it is all the back of the head as far as the eye can see.
Roughly speaking, there are at least 100 people in the audience, and with the audience outside who have not yet entered, the audience for this performance is estimated to be 200 people.
At this point in time, it is impossible for them to go to the front row, only in the back row and on the outside.
"Could it be that Starlight Kirakira is a famous group?"
Yamabuki Minami was also shocked, which was really an eye-opener.
"Just look at it."
Shuichi Kamiya didn't bother with the location, and took her to the less crowded place on the outer side.
If you really want him to squeeze the front row, he is not that interested, and he is not a real star chaser, it is better to say that such a position is just right.
"Can you see the stage?"
Finding a place to stand, Shuichi Kamiya asked.
"Yes."
Minami Yamabuki looked ahead and nodded.
Although she is shorter than the boys, the stage position is also on the high side, and it is not a problem to watch the performance.
"Click! Click! Click! β
After a while, the lights suddenly began to go out, and as the lights disappeared one by one, the room became pitch black, and there was no light at all.
In the darkness, Shuichi Kamiya felt his arm being grabbed by a pair of cold, soft little hands.
Clearly, Yamabuki Minami was frightened by the sudden darkness.
The darkness didn't last long, and a neat female voice amplified through the microphone rang out:
"Everyone, welcome to Starlight Kirakira's performance~!"
At the same time, a light lit up in the darkness, focusing on the stage, four girls in gorgeous dresses, already standing on the stage.
These four girls have their own strengths and weaknesses, but they are all young and energetic, and they are all very good-looking, and they are estimated to be quite popular in their respective schools.
βkirakiraοΌβ
With their appearance, there was a lively scene in the audience, and everyone shouted loudly.
"I'm Aijin."
"I'm Yuyi-chan~"
"I'm Rina."
"I'm Yumemi."
In the face of the enthusiasm of fans, the idol groups on the stage also began to walk the catwalk and took turns to come to the stage.
As they introduced themselves, each member had a different fan base and support.
"Is this Mengmei the ticket inspector just now?"
Minami Yamabuki looked at the situation on the stage and was surprised to find that Yumemi turned out to be a ticket inspector.
In just this moment, she had already recovered from it, and she was embarrassed to continue to hold Shuichi Kamiya's arm.
"That's right, it's her."
Kamiya Shu nodded and affirmed the matter.
I have to say that the underground idol culture of neon is really cruel...... The members of the idol group are also forced to work as ticket sellers.
