Shinichi Toiwahashi and Mineshima got their tickets in advance, and when they arrived at the scene, they took the number plate for admission and entered the venue in turn.

Before the tour began, I told Sachiko Kamaike that I would come to see the band perform, but as a result, it dragged back and forth, and she had to be caught by her again before finally cashing in.

There are no seats in the venue, and the standing is full.

The location of Shinichi Iwahashi and Mineshima Station allows you to see the entire stage. Not only that, but the members on stage can probably see them in the audience if they want to.

It was almost time for the show to start, and the entrance door was closed.

In the small venue, the heat is sweltering, and the pent-up excitement before the show begins, reminiscent of before the heavy summer rains fall.

Iwahashi Shinsei was in such an atmosphere, and he couldn't help but look forward to a "ganlin".

The lights went out and on, and there was a cheer in the stadium.

The four members of ZARD stand on a small stage, all of which are standing seats, and the boundary between the audience and the stage is not so clear, and Iwahashi Shinichi sees Sachiko Kamaike surrounded by musicians in the middle.

"Good evening, we are ZARD. ”

Her voice is unpretentious and subtle, not like a well-band lead singer, but with a fresh and different charm.

The audience was very applauded and applauded.

After a brief greeting, Tatsuya Hirakawa on stage sent a signal for the start of the performance and played the prelude to the first song, while Sachiko Kamaike was just right and added her own voice.

Shinichi Iwahashi was offstage, watching the performance of the band, or Sachiko Kamaike, on stage.

Compared to when she was in Osaka, Sachiko Kamaike on the stage was in a more natural state.

Sachiko Kamaike's whole person lacks the impact on the stage. Her personality is like this, and it can't be changed by training. Because of this, forcing her to be close to the lead singer of a traditional band would erase her original characteristics.

And now, after giving up self-carving and choosing to be herself, she retains the simplicity and subtlety of her greetings, leading the audience into the musical world of the band in a natural state.

Although it doesn't have such a strong impact, the band's own popular style and her own lyrics style that is close to the emotions of ordinary people unexpectedly form a wonderful chemical reaction with such simplicity and nature.

Shinichi Iwahashi came with a review mentality, but unconsciously, he was attracted by the band's performance.

In the LIVETALK in the middle of the intermission, Sachiko Kamaike faced the audience and greeted her a little shyly. Once she was led into the music world of ZARD, even with her bad words, it became a frank and friendly touching.

Sachiko Kamaike's gaze was like a dragonfly, and she casually swept past the audience and saw Shinichi Iwahashi standing there.

Her gaze stopped, making sure she wasn't mistaken.

After a moment of silence, I heard someone in the audience shouting: "Come on—"

Sachiko Kamaike came back to her senses and felt the kindness from the audience, and couldn't help but smile. Shinichi Iwahashi stood in the audience, looking at the stage she was standing on. It's no different from other audiences who come for the band.

Just be yourself.

Sachiko Kamaike remembered the agreement she made with Shinichi Iwahashi, "No matter which one it is, I will show my best." She withdrew her gaze and continued the show.

......

Before the show, the atmosphere in the venue reminded Shinichi Iwahashi of before the heavy summer rains fell. And when the performance goes on, and then ends at the end, there is no doubt that such a performance is full of joy and soaking the earth.

After the official performance, the band also sang a new single that had just been released.

"Please support ZARD's new single!"

After singing the song, Sachiko Kamaike promoted it live to the audience.

"Will buy it——!!"

The moment she finished speaking, a male voice called from somewhere in the audience. Then, as if ignited by this voice, the audience present echoed it.

It's not sure if it's hot-headed or really want to buy it, but at least, the feedback for the new single is pretty good.

At the end of the performance, the audience left the venue in an orderly manner.

"I've got the right person this time, Iwahashi-kun. Mineshima said.

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled when he heard this, knowing that he was comparing Sachiko Kamaike to Haruko Akamatsu.

Iwahashi watched the show and went backstage to meet the band members, but Minejima offered to take his leave. Iwahashi Shinichi was not reluctant, and after going out, he said goodbye to him and went backstage.

Mineshima says goodbye to Shinichi Iwahashi and prepares to find a place to have a drink.

Just after watching the performance, he still felt calm in his heart. Mineshima is in the underground music scene, and I don't know how many bands I have seen. But he still felt that the scene at ZARD was particularly special.

After the show, Mineshima couldn't calm down, not because of the intense rhythm that reverberated in his head — ZARD wasn't the kind of band that was so intense that it would make your mind buzz.

However, the performance of the band, or that Ka Chi-san, made their performance unconsciously infiltrate the minds and hearts of the audience, like drinking spring water, and leaving the venue after the end, their hearts are still happy.

That Kamaike-san was found by Haruko Akamatsu......

Mineshima felt a little unbelievable when he thought about it. A man who he thought would never be the lead singer of the band, but found a wonderful lead singer. I found it from a photo model.

can polish a photo model into the female lead singer on the stage now, Shinichi Iwahashi also has a set.

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him—

"Mineshima-san?"

Mineshima stopped, turned around, and a man, two women, and three people stood not far from him. Seeing him turn around, one of the short, fashionably dressed girls waved at him, "Sure enough, it's you!"

"Ryoko-san?" Mineshima thought of himself.

Ryoko on the opposite side nodded vigorously, and stepped forward in three steps and two steps, "Long time no see, Mineshima-san!"

This Ryoko is a well-known band lover.

"Long time no see. Minejima smiled politely, "Do you want to come to the show tonight?"

Ryoko is generous, "We are loyal supporters of this ZARD band. "It's only the second time I've seen their show, though.

However, I like their live, and not only that, but after hearing them sing a new song live, Ryoko is planning to buy one as well. At this point, it's not a problem to say that you are a loyal supporter, right?

Ryoko has decided to be a ZARD fan from tonight.

"This is the big black sauce, and this is Kamiya-kun. Ryoko remembered it, introduced the two companions to Minejima, and said, "Mineshima-san is the manager of the underground bands......

Minejima and Ryoko's two friends nodded in acknowledgment.

The three of them were planning to find a place to have a drink after watching the show. On Friday nights, at least until you catch the last train—that's the credo that the three of them live by.

If she misses the last train, Kamiya will probably find a place to drink all night, while Daikoku Maki will take a taxi back, and Ryoko will follow her to her apartment for the night.

Now, since I met Mine Island, after talking for a while, the four of them simply went to find a place to drink together.

......

At the end of the band's performance, it was a regular summary meeting.

Back in the background, Sachiko Kamaike and her teammates said, "Iwahashi-san is here today. ”

"Really?" the teammates didn't expect.

Tomohisa Kawazoe made a joke, "Iwahashi-san finally remembered our band on tour." ”

But anyway, as soon as Iwahashi Shin came over, the summary meeting after the performance was not held first, waiting for him to come over. Needless to say, when the members saw the producer who was with them, he first said, "Iwahashi-san will come in a while." ”

"Did Fuyuda-san already know?"

Fuyuta's tone was tight enough, so he said unhurriedly, "I met Iwahashi-san at the restaurant last week, and he asked me for a ticket. ”

When he said this, he was immediately exchanged for a ridiculous crusade against him by the musicians.

Sachiko Kamachi watched from the side, and although she didn't join the battle, she also had a little bit of a lively prank. Haruko Akamatsu walked over and gave the members towels and water.

"Thank you. Sachiko Kamaike took it.

Haruko Akamatsu watched her wipe her sweat with a towel, like an athlete who had just finished a competition.

"Iwahashi-san also came to see the show today?"

Sachiko Kamaike nodded, "I think I'm doing well." In her words, there was an anticipation of Shinichi Iwahashi's comments.

Like an excellent student who looks forward to the teacher's praise after studying hard.

Haruko Akamatsu waited for her to finish wiping her sweat and handed the water over again, "No problem." ”

These two girls have a good relationship, and everyone in the team knows it.

Sachiko Kamaike is Haruko Akamatsu's successor. Not only that, after Haruko Akamatsu retired behind the scenes, she did not regret the successful debut of ZARD at all, but enjoyed herself as a man in black, trying her best to assist the band and the new lead singer.

Such a band relationship is rare.

While the band members were chatting and laughing and taking a break, Shinichi Iwahashi came over.

"It's been a hard work, but the show was a success. ”

After greeting the members, he said to Sachiko Kamaike, "Sachiko-san, your performance is unexpectedly good. ”

Iwahashi Shinichi is quite blunt when he praises people. Hearing him say this, joy appeared on Sachiko Kamaike's face.

This summary meeting was very simple, and Shinichi Iwahashi was quite satisfied with ZARD's performance. He's not the kind of owner who watches a show and has to pick out a little problem to spur the band on, good is good.

After the compliment, he invited the group to eat something.

......

"Iwahashi-san, the office helped me get a notice from a fashion magazine. ”

On the way to dinner, Shinichi Iwahashi and Sachiko Kamaike were in the same car and listened to her mention it.

Sachiko Kamaike ended her entire photo model contract in November last year and began to devote herself to working hard as the lead singer of ZARD. I never thought that I would be a model or a fashion magazine again.

"Take a picture and then be interviewed over there. Sachiko Kamaike paused and got to the point, "The staff at the office said that it was Iwahashi-san's suggestion. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi admitted, "Yes. Guessing that Sachiko Kamaike suddenly said that she wanted to know what he thought, so she didn't rush to explain, and asked first, "What do you think about this?"
