530. in the first place
Watanabe Manyumi followed his gaze and turned her head away.
An amateur band that had just arrived was there to debug the equipment.
The members are dressed in bells and whistles to the point of being excessive, with colorful hair and elongated eyebrows.
Although it was an amateur roadshow in Osaka Castle Park, it was like a full-fledged performance. Such an elaborate band is quite conspicuous in Osaka Castle Park.
Not only that, but being so well-equipped and ready for battle, just looking at it, there is a feeling that the strength cannot be underestimated.
"Seems pretty impressive. β
When Watanabe saw such a band, she also had more expectations for their next performance. In addition to the two of them, several other audience members were also attracted to the band.
Before the performance started, I gained a lot of expectations.
Unhurried, the members of the band took out a piece of prepared cardboard from the gear they had brought with them and set it aside. The name of the band was written on the cardboard.
Seeing the names on the cardboard, the crowd of onlookers attracted by them let out a burst of laughter. Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help but say to Shinichi Iwahashi, "What a strange name." β
The cardboard reads that the band's name is "γ·γ£ RanQ" (Shooting Chaos Q).
Shinichi Iwahashi also felt that it was quite subtle.
Looking at such an imposing band, how could it have such a funny artist-like name?
The last time he felt that "it turns out that there are people in the real world who would give such stupid names" was the Chaofeng Village where he lived when he first crossed over.
This feeling is like a social tycoon with a dragon tattoo sitting in the middle of a Mickey Mouse.
It's funny with a hint of weirdness.
"With such a name, the original impression that they 'seem to be quite powerful' has also been diluted. Watanabe Manyumi probably spoke to the crowd of onlookers, including Shinichi Iwahashi.
Still, Shinichi Iwahashi has a bit of anticipation for the band.
After all, while Mickey Mouse is funny, the Coiling Dragon tattoo looks real.
Maybe it's just a name?
Shinichi Iwahashi, who almost gave the band a name like Phoenix Legend, has a natural tolerance for all kinds of band names that sound strange.
"Anyway, let's take a look. As he spoke, he took the lead in moving forward.
Watanabe Manyumi followed him and walked closer to the band.
The band members were ready, and the young singers, as representatives, introduced themselves in a decent manner. The young man is wearing a gorgeous performance costume and painted thin eyebrows, and his temperament is quite neutral.
After introducing himself, the musicians behind him began to beat the beat.
The audience's appetite was whetted before, and the eyes of the band were waiting for them to feedback a performance that matched the gorgeous costumes and makeup.
Shinichi Iwahashi is no exception.
However, when the performance began, the musicians began to play, and the lead singer began to sing, Shinichi Iwahashi's mind began to cool down. This strength seems to be a bit different from the appearance?
The members of the band enjoyed the performance as soon as they started, wiggling their bodies to the melody while playing their instruments.
The lead singer who was surrounded in the middle was even more angry, although the singing was not very good, and the level of arrangement was not very good, but the twist was really beautiful.
The coiling dragon tattoo turned out to be a tattoo sticker, and only Mickey Mouse was real.
But after all, this is where the band gets together, and the level of performance comes first.
As their performance progressed, the onlookers began to cheer, "Stupidβ"
"Has such a fool come to 'Chengtian' too?!"
Such direct words shouted out from the mouths of the few audience members who were attracted just now. The power of the audience in Osaka was not seen at ZARD's LIVEHOUSE, but it was seen here.
The reason why the audience is so mean is because the band looks too much like a veteran on the outside, and after the appetite is satisfied, such a contrast makes people disappointed and a little unhappy.
Excess expectations will bring more disappointment.
Watanabe Manyumi couldn't help but sigh, it was really that the contrast between their appearance and strength was too huge.
"It's like we're thinking too much. "Watanabe Manyumi also feels a little tricked.
However, this happened in Osaka, and she didn't feel bad at all. On the contrary, I think that if this contrast is regarded as the humor of the people of Osaka, then it is also a good performance.
"Is this visual kei?" she wasn't sure.
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, "Although the level is still far behind, it is a gorgeous rock with a decent flavor." He also briefly explained to her, "Visual kei is a way of presenting music, but glam rock is a type of music. β
Watanabe Manyumi seems to understand whether she understands or not, but listening to Iwahashi Shinichi say that they have a good flavor and are obedient and obedient, "So, is there any merit?"
"A band that can use a name like 'Shoot Chao Q' calmly, at least in terms of the thickness of their skin, will not lose to others. Shinichi Iwahashi said something serious like a joke and didn't answer her question.
However, it is also true that it comes from the bottom of my heart.
The band, in the midst of such ridicule, is still immersed in its own world, and even interacts with the audience who laughed at them.
Not to mention anything else, the psychological quality is first-class.
Although the standard of the band is not very good, Iwahashi Shinichi admires the cheekiness of the members.
The band responded to the audience's ridicule in this way, and gradually, the audience began to enjoy it. Indeed, if you don't see this performance as a band performance, but as a joke performance, it will be exciting.
The atmosphere was reversed by the band, which changed from the original applause to an alternative interactive performance.
This kind of ability to turn boos into laughter is quite powerful. It's also amazing to be able to switch from a band-audience to a comedy audience at once.
But the more this happened, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't stand it anymore. Before leaving, he thought about it, took out his wallet, pulled out a 100 yen coin, took another business card from the business card case, walked over, and put it in their piano case together.
The lead singer, who was squirming energetically, saw Shinichi Iwahashi put down his business card, and his expression showed a hint of surprise and curiosity. But he still pressed it, only made a thank you gesture to him, and continued to interact with the audience on the performance.
Manyumi Watanabe, who was watching from the side, was quite surprised. From Tokyo to Osaka, it was the first time I saw Shinichi Iwahashi tipping the band for the roadshow.
Not only that, but I also left my business card.
Putting down the coins and business cards, Iwahashi Shinichi greeted Watanabe Manyumi, "Do you want to continue watching?" β
Watanabe Manyumi raised her wrist and glanced at it, "Are you still going to see the ZARD show tonight?"
"Of course I want to go. Iwahashi said.
The two of them moved and walked outside Osaka Castle Park.
After walking a little farther, Watanabe Manyumi said to him, "It's the first time I've seen you do this." β
"Huh?" Iwahashi Shinichi pretended to be stupid.
Watanabe Manyumi sighed, "It's the same as tipping and leaving a business card." Do you think they are manufacturable?" Shinichi Iwahashi rarely took the initiative, and she couldn't help but think about it.
"That's not meant to be a tip. β
This time, it was changed to Watanabe Manyumi: "Huh?" Although she is not pretending to be stupid, she really does not understand.
