Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 222
Time passed.

Takao Tajima, who was in the background, watched the performances of the bands on stage.As seen in the first issue, there are still all kinds of bands on stage.

However, bands of different styles mixed together and took turns to take the stage, but surprisingly, it didn't give people a sense of chaos.

That's because of the existence of the "invisible script".

In order to create something to watch, the lineup for the stage is determined after a collective review by the production team, taking into account factors such as the band's characteristics, highlights, collisions between bands, and so on.

Although artificial hands are involved, it's not cheating, it's just how to get the most out of the players.

Shinichi Iwahashi sat on the jury seat, watching one band after another come on stage and then leave.

Watching the program in front of the TV and watching it on the spot give people two different feelings.Watching the premiere was at home, and he selected these bands based on the effects of the show, so when watching the show, he didn't feel the rush of emotion.

But it was also picked out by myself. Being at the scene, it is inevitable that you will be infected by the atmosphere of the band's performance, and you can't help but immerse yourself in their various performances, whether they are powerful, full of personality, or nonsensical.

During this period, Yuji Miyake, who is good at controlling the field, also resolved the unexpected moves made by amateur bands from time to time, and even threw the topic to the representatives sitting behind the censors, pulling these representatives who are also "amateur" into the battle line.

The audience in front of the TV is often amused by the inadvertent nonsensical actions of the inexperienced amateur band, and they are also intoxicated by the performance of the band that shows their extraordinary skills.Faced with bands with different personalities and styles, I can't help feeling in my heart that there are so many excellent bands in the underground music circle and among the folks.

Let the audience realize the excellence of the band, feel sorry for the excellent band's failure to make their debut, and hope to hear more songs from the band... With the broadcast of the program, the plan to promote the band is half successful.

One band after another came on and left, and the front of the stage was very lively. The next one to appear was a band called ORIGINAL LOVE.

When they stood on the stage, looking at their appearance, they looked like the kind of band that Iwahashi Shinichi could see everywhere in the underground music circle, and there was nothing that made people shine.The only thing that Iwahashi Shinichi cares about is the subtle difference in style between the lead singer and the musicians.

For the audience, seeing such a band will not have any special feelings, but in the eyes of Shinichi Iwahashi, who is used to seeing bands, this band is not so much a band, but a solo singer Take the feeling of your own team.

Although there is no deliberate attempt to create a gap, there is a subtle sense of distance between the lead singer and his teammates.

After a brief greeting, the show began.

When the music starts, people's ears can't help but immediately realize that this is a high-level band.But, as the song slowly unfolded, so did the problems.

This song is written too "powerful".

Rather than saying that this is an irony, it is better to say that it is cleverness that is misunderstood by cleverness, and that who is too powerful is punished.This piece of music combines a variety of different musical elements, like a pot of dishes that can be made into a big meal alone.

Takao Tajima has a high self-esteem, of course, he does have a genius of pride.

Since he tried to compose his own music, he has played various styles of music, whether it is rock or post-punk, guitar pop or funk, or Japanese ballads, or even elements such as folk music and acid jazz. , turn the music around.

Despite this, it has been silent for a long time in the underground music circle.

During the period of obscurity, I accumulated inspiration and honed my skills, but it also left behind the depression of being underappreciated and the insecurity of eager to show myself.

Wanting to win in the show, he thinks that the talent show is to shock the public, so he wants to come up with a song that shows his talents. Tajima Takao prepares the song with this idea, but the result is that he falls into a misunderstanding.

He played the music around, but sometimes he was played around by the music in turn.

He came here with the heart of winning, ready to compete with the chairs in the world. Although he completed a complete performance of 3 minutes, he received a lot of pungent comments as soon as the performance was over.

"How should I put it, it looks like an upstart aunt dressed herself as a mobile jewelry booth and came out." Yoshida Jian opened his mouth and exhaled fragrance, so good at talking, it really makes people worry whether they will be caught by someone when walking at night. Give a sack.

Shinichi Iwahashi, who was sitting in the representative seat, couldn't help laughing when he heard this vivid comment.He looked at the lead singer who was given a knowing blow by Yoshida Ken on the stage, his face changed a little and he tried his best to restrain himself, thinking.

……

Ruined.

When Takao Tajima got off the stage, such a sentence echoed in his mind.

Passing by the next band backstage, he silently moved out of the way and sat down in his seat, feeling an indescribable sense of frustration.

Thinking of getting ahead, I made a big circle and returned to the original point.

This episode of the program finally ended with the second consecutive victory of the human chair.Takao Tajima and his teammates returned to the stage with other bands who appeared on stage, acting as wallflowers for the winner.

……

"Okay~ that's it!"

After the director announced this, there was a moment of silence in the studio, and then there was a round of applause, "Everyone has worked hard!"

The atmosphere in the studio then relaxed.

The amateur bands who kept a distance from the human chair before the program started, as the result of the program was settled, the previous sense of distance disappeared, and instead they were able to talk to the human chair calmly.

In addition to chatting with the chairs in the world, the atmosphere between the bands changed accordingly.

The three inspectors left, and the representatives on the representative table also left one after another. Shinichi Iwahashi got up from his seat, walked to Mayumi Watanabe, and waved to her.

Wanyumi Watanabe understood, leaned up to him, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? Shinichi-kun."

Shinichi Iwahashi stared at the amateur bands who were being led backstage by the staff, and told Mayumi Watanabe what he thought.

Mayumi Watanabe listened, and pondered for a while, "I see."

……

After returning to the backstage, Takao Tajima and his teammates packed up their things and prepared to leave.He came here full of ambition, but in the end he stumbled. Takao Tajima didn't show much on his face, but the loss in his heart couldn't be added.

This failure means that the distance between him and his dream and goal has not shortened, and he has nothing but loss.The teammates understand his mood and understand all the preparations he has made for the show, but it is inconvenient to comfort him at this time.

However, when such a defeated team left the TV station, they were stopped by a person.

"Please stay."
