The atmosphere was very warm.

The applause and cheers that came back from the front to the backstage were like a tidal wave, wave after wave.

I don't know if I can get the same cheers when I come out of the game-

At this time, the staff came to call them again, "DREAMS COME TRUE, it's coming!"

"Yes!"

This time, even Miwa Yoshida, who loves to laugh, didn't laugh because of the band's name pronounced in katakana, and the momentum on his body became serious.

Walking on the stage, the audience did not fall silent because of the change of bands on stage, and there was always a buzzing sound, like ripples on the water, although small but not to be ignored.

Iwahashi Shinkazu glanced at Miwa Yoshida, knowing where he was standing, this look could only be transmitted to the back of her head, but as if sensing a signal from him, Miwa Yoshida spoke:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are DREAMS COME TRUE, and we have the honor to perform here tonight, so please watch it. ”

At the beginning of the generous square, there is no stage fright at all.

This is the first time Iwahashi Shin has listened to Miwa Yoshida speak so seriously.

But—

"The female lead!"

"Then let's take a look at the serious performance!"

"It's coming, Miss!"

In a small space, there are almost no boundaries between the stage and the auditorium. The audience in the front row seemed to be able to cross the stage at any time. Standing here, the drunken faces of the audience in the front row could be seen clearly, and the ridicule thrown at them also smashed them all at once.

None of the people present had ever heard the name of this band that suddenly appeared. When they threw at the band to mock it, the rest of the audience didn't react at all, and no one from the stage could send their support to the crowd. The applause and cheers I heard backstage just now had nothing to do with them.

Only then did Shinichi Iwahashi understand what the so-called performance was all about. This is completely different from following Mimi CLUB, which is already well-known in the underground music circle, to perform as a green leaf.

This is an underground world where strength is king.

The more this is the case, the more you can't back down. If you fail here, you'll never be able to reach a higher level.

That being the case—

Shin Iwahashi put his hand on the keys and began to beat the beat with his foot, "1, 2, 3, 4!"

Then let's show them what they're capable of.

Takashi Gomi, who has an experienced performer, calmly played the guitar in his hand, and Miwa Yoshida was not to be outdone and sang the first line of the song.

Hearing her voice as solid as ever, Shinichi Iwahashi settled down. She was not affected by the situation on the scene.

Not only that, but when the song unfolded, Shinichi Iwahashi felt a fighting spirit as if he was going to confront the audience.

Now that she has maintained her form, he will never hold back.

Shinichi Iwahashi looked into the distance, not confined to the audience in front of him, but to look at the audience in the distance.

Gradually, as the performance became more and more in a state, his gaze became beyond the audience in this small space, and his vision became broader.

It seems that he is not performing on this small stage, but standing in the Hibiya Concert Hall and the Budokan, not the two hundred and fifty spectators in front of him, but thousands of spectators whose faces cannot be seen clearly, and who can only feel their existence.

He's not performing for the audience in the front row, he's performing for all the audiences, the audience who are in this venue, even not in this venue, but who will meet them one day – he sees the future in his eyes.

Isn't it the audience?

It is true that the audience is very important, but it is never possible to expose timidity in front of the audience, never flatter the audience, never influence yourself because of the audience, and never lose to ridicule.

Listen to our music.

Whether it's Shinichi Iwahashi or Miwa Yoshida, they completely threw aside the sneering faces of the audience in the front row and indulged in the performance.

In such a state, the Gomi Takashi who is closest to them and is performing with them can be most aware of it.

He was almost shocked by the strong state displayed by these two people, obviously a lead singer who did not know music and a musician who had not touched the keyboard for a long time, obviously two people who were inexperienced in a hurry to put together, and they had such a powerful state.

As a seasoned musician, you can't afford to lose to these two.

Gomi Takashi was aroused to have a competitive mentality, and he also used all his skills to play with all his might.

The three of them relied on music to communicate and understand each other, and their hearty performances also gradually changed the atmosphere in the audience.

The audience, who was casual at first, began to be attracted by this band that suddenly appeared.

At first, they listened quietly without reacting, but gradually, the three of them heard the audience start to beat along.

Then, more and more beats were added, squeezing away the ridicule and contempt that had just fallen on them, and the tide of applause surged up again, rushing to the stage and enveloping them.

And this belongs to them, and they get it from the audience with their performances.

This path, which is met by chance but seems to be inevitable, has taken its first step here.

All the songs had been played, the applause and cheers continued, and the shouts of "Good one!" came from the front row, and it didn't matter if they belonged to the same people as the ridicule just now.

Whether the audience laughs or appreciates, once you stand on the stage, the first thing you have to do is to insist on yourself.

The audience, who didn't know them just now, even threw ridicule and indifference at them, shouted the name of the band - DREAMS COME TRUE at this moment.

A dream come true.

Miwa Yoshida stood in the middle of the stage, felt the cheers for a while, took a deep breath, and completed the last task of tonight's performance, introducing the members.

"Guitarist Takashi Gomi!"

"Oh——!!"

"Keyboardist Shinichi Iwahashi!"

"Oh——!!"

This time, there is no doubt that they are welcomed.

The audience is brutal and at the same time lovable.

As long as you make them feel worthwhile, they will give back to you the purest and most precious thing - the support for you.

"And then the lead singer,"

Miwa Yoshida smiled widely, "Miwa Yoshida!

Before stepping off the stage, from the audience, there was a loud shout: "Miwa-chan!"

Thirty minutes ago, no one knew the name yet. And now, the name is being shouted out loud. The distance from the stage to the backstage was too short, so short that when she returned to the backstage, Miwa Yoshida's heart still echoed with Fang Cai's voice "Miwa-chan!"

Shinichi Iwahashi was similar, his mind was full of the sound of the performance he had just played and the cheers and applause of the audience later, and every cell in his body was still excited.

He almost forgot that it was backstage at the LIVEHOUSE and went to see Miwa Yoshida, "Miwa-san, the show was a success!"

The two of them also had happy faces, reflecting each other in each other's eyes.

At this time, Miwa Yoshida did something that Shinichi Iwahashi had not expected. She took a step forward and hugged him directly.

"Thank you, Shen Yisan. She said.

Iwahashi Shin'ichi reacted and quickly hugged her back.

Wuwei Xiaoshi happily watched the two members of the grass stage class who were driven ducks on the shelves but were very successful, and he was not dissatisfied that he was excluded from the celebration.

The two hugged each other, and shook hands with Wuwei Xiaoshi, "Wuwei Sang, thank you really today." ”

"I owe it to you two to thank you both for participating in such a performance. Gomi Takashi said sincerely.

It's like auditioning for each other, because the performance is a mutual cooperation, so when you form a team, you have to be grateful to your teammates no matter what.

——

After the performance, Shinichi Iwahashi went to meet the person in charge of the LIVEHOUSE and received his salary for today's performance.

The money was in hand, and the person in charge asked him if he could wait here for a while, and he had something to say. Iwahashi Shinichi replied that there was no problem, and he waited here for about ten minutes.

The person in charge took care of the matter at hand, and finally had time to talk to him.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he first praised: "The performance just now is really decent, even I can't help but be impressed by you." ”

"Thank you. ”

"BY THE WAY," THE PERSON IN CHARGE THREW AN OLIVE BRANCH TO HIM, "IS YOUR BAND INTERESTED IN SIGNING A CONTRACT WITH OUR LIVEHOUSE TO DO A REGULAR SHOW HERE?"

It's certainly a great thing to have a place to stay and a thriving venue.

Iwahashi Shinichi was happy at first, but when he thought of the band's patchwork state, he immediately cooled down.

The person in charge took a full view of his changes and said clearly: "The timbre of the guitar is indeed not easy to be replaced, and the combination of the lead singer and keyboardist is also a way to configure the band." Alternatively, you can find a part-time musician first. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi looked at him with some surprise.

The person in charge threw him a "I have seen through it a long time ago" look.

Also. Running a high-quality LIVEHOUSE, the person in charge has not seen many singers and bands of all kinds, in front of him, how can this little trick be hidden.

But even so, the person in charge gave them the opportunity to interview and take the stage tonight. Iwahashi Shinichi was grateful, but he was also a little ashamed of lying and being exposed.

"As soon as I saw that you were the keyboardist, I kind of understood what was going on. I didn't have much hope, but after watching the audition performance, I felt that it was okay for you. ”

The person in charge told him, "When it comes to the level of performance, you still have a lot to improve and hone in, and there are many people who have a better level than you." However, I like you and your lead singer the most in one place. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi listened carefully.

"I like the momentum of your performances the most. The person in charge said, "Whether it's being calm in front of the empty audience during the interview, or not flinching or flattering when the audience is cold, it's hard to do this, and it's even harder than playing a good tune." ”

"It's a performance like this, it's reliable. So, if you want, come to my regular show, I'm very welcome. ”
