Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 25 025. Form a Band
Recently, Iwahashi Shinichi's most frequently heard sentence is: "Sorry, the Friday and Saturday performances here are full..."

Or another line, "She can sing well, but the style doesn't quite match the theme of the show."

In other words, he's been shutting doors lately.

According to Minejima, it was easy to apply for LIVEHOUSE’s unpopular time slot, and Shinichi Iwahashi felt the same way when he really started doing it himself.Especially when compared to the difficulty of applying for prime time.

Unpopular time, as the name suggests, is a time when few people will patronize it.

The Mondays and Tuesdays just after the weekend, and the Thursday before the weekend, are all nights without time for entertainment.Shinichi Iwahashi knew this too well, as he worked as a waiter in a nightclub.

Famous and popular underground singers will not consume themselves during unpopular times, because for them, collecting tickets for performances during popular times and selling homemade records on the spot are a very important source of income.

The person in charge of some venues will choose to close the store during unpopular times for maintenance, but there are always so many days in the week when the venue is idle, and it is not a problem to find some unknown amateur players to warm up the venue.

Of course, since it's here to warm up and there are not many audiences, don't think about the performance fee.

This kind of job is the best one to find, and Yoshida Miwa also sang a few times in the area around Iwabashi Shin.

She performed on the same stage as either a karaoke singer or a three-legged cat band who could only play 1645. Every time they performed, the atmosphere was like the kind of office worker uncles outside who can sing after drinking a little wine. bistro karaoke.

After doing this a few times, Iwahashi Shinichi felt that it would not work.

It's not okay to be content with the status quo.A person who has already reached level [-], spends every day brushing first-level mobs outside the novice village, hoping to accumulate a point of experience every time to level [-] to change the map, even if he has to stop the server.

Just singing is not enough.

The two of them are not the kind of people who can say anything else as long as they can sing happily, but just crave a stage. Their goal is to go mainstream.There's little hope of pushing yourself into such an unpopular period.

Finally, Yoshida Miwa's style is not good either.

If this catches up with the RB jazz craze in 1952, she might have been spotted by the head of the record company or the producer of the film company who came to the store when she was still in Odyssey, and she became a star like Jiang Li Zhihui.

But now, her style is not very popular.Recently, bands in the underground music circle are very active, and LIVEHOUSE also prefers bands that can heat up the atmosphere.There is really no market for female singers who fight alone, and female singers with this style.

Climb the peak bravely, challenge yourself, and attack the golden hour——

Then, Iwahashi Shinichi started to frantically shut the door.

"Excuse me." After being rejected again, Iwahashi Shinichi walked out of LIVEHOUSE and into the street outside.

In the winter at the end of November, it gets darker and earlier, and people come and go in the streets of Roppongi.Iwahashi Shinichi stood in front of the shop window, looking at his own shadow reflected on it.

The magnificent decoration in the window, and his face reflected on the glass, subtly overlapped together.

Iwahashi Shinichi took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, and stepped forward.

There is one last LIVEHOUSE that I haven't visited today.

This LIVEHOUSE venue can accommodate 250 people, which is not a small scale.In this kind of situation, Yanqiao Shenyi came to ask questions, but he didn't have any idea of ​​what to do, it was nothing more than a few more words.

The result was not what he expected. When he handed over his business card, he heard that it was a female singer, and the person in charge didn't even listen to the audition tape, so he rejected it directly.

Iwahashi Shen was prepared early in the morning, so he was not disappointed, and thanked the person in charge calmly and politely.Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a stack of leaflets on the table with colorful words such as performances written on them.

The person in charge had a good impression of his response when he was rejected just now. He felt that he was so calm at a young age, and he was a good young man.At this time, noticing his sight, he took the initiative to explain to him: "It's a band platter planning performance that is being planned here."

"A band?" Iwahashi Shinichi thought.

The visit for a while has made him deeply feel the terrorist force of the band in the underground music circle.

"Yes." The person in charge showed him a flyer. "If you want to talk about a hot atmosphere, there is nothing more than the band. Now, the band is very popular among young people. Come for a band platter for two nights in a row, from [-]pm to [-]pm."

Iwahashi Shinichi remembered the show he went to with Mimi CLUB.

"The band is pretty good. However, the interpersonal relationship in the band is full of troubles. The band was originally scheduled to come on Friday night, but there was a conflict between the members. The bassist and the lead singer fought each other, and even the police They were all shocked, and the band disbanded on the spot." The person in charge said this and smiled helplessly.

This gossip is powerful enough.Iwahashi Shinichi thought.

"It's not easy enough to put together so many bands." Thanks to the good impression he left just now, the boss said to him, "Although we don't need female singers here for the time being, you If you know a decent band, introduce them for an interview."

band!Band again!
Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly had a crazy idea in his mind, paused, and said, "Yes."

He looked at the person in charge and said to him, "I also approached the band to perform for the band, and there happened to be such a band on hand."

"Really?" The person in charge was very interested, "Is there any video tapes of the band's performance that I can watch?"

"It's really unfortunate." Iwahashi Shinichi lied, "I came from Ginza just now and left the last videotape there."

"Forget it." The person in charge didn't pursue it, and asked him, "Is your relationship with the band members okay?"

"It's quite harmonious." Iwahashi Shinichi said.

The boss thought for a while, "There is an interview at [-] pm next Monday. If you are interested, you can bring the band to try it out."

"Yes, next Monday at four o'clock in the afternoon." Iwahashi Shinichi confirmed, "I will bring them here."

Leaving LIVEHOUSE and walking into the street, the cold wind rushed towards him, causing him to shiver subconsciously.Iwahashi Shinichi lowered his head and looked at the flyer he just got in his hand, thoughtfully.

In the evening, Iwahashi Shinichi called Yoshida Miwa, "Miwa-san, I found a good interview opportunity. Would you like to give it a try?"

Yoshida Miwa asked him to be specific.

Iwahashi Shinichi told her what happened this afternoon.

"Shinichi-san," Yoshida Miwa calmed down and corrected after listening, "What they want is a band."

Iwahashi Shinichi's reaction was calm, "I know, they want a band."

"But we-"

"So." Iwahashi Shinichi interrupted her, "Let's form a band now."

　The subject is on vacation, collecting dog food materials, only one update
