Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 301
The staff came and told the delegates to go to the studio to get ready.

The delegates who came to the show, like the participating amateur bands, stayed in a large lounge.

However, compared to the colorfulness of the band room where various elements come together, this lounge is so ordinary that it feels boring.

The representatives are all wearing business attire, and almost all of them are in colors such as cyan and black. When they come in from the outside, it is difficult to tell who is who at a glance.

The representatives of the record company got up and went out one after another. Two-thirds of the people in the lounge had left. Then Mayumi Watanabe turned to look at Haruko Akamatsu, and said, "Let's go too, Haruko."

"Yes."

Haruko Akamatsu agreed, stood up with Wanyumi Watanabe, and walked to the studio.

……

The live broadcast started at [-]:[-], and the participating bands had to wait at the TV station an hour or two in advance, and the representatives didn't arrive just in time. They would come to TV Asahi to stand by around ten o'clock.

From the period when BEGIN won the championship until now, for GENZO, Akamatsu Haruko has been sitting on the representative seat representing Iwahashi Shinichi.

During this period, she witnessed BEGIN win the championship, witnessed the new band win, and then, the band that had won two periods in a row was defeated by the new band.

She also witnessed the signing of the first generation champion BEGIN to AMUSE, BEGIN's final record contract was signed to Tokuma Records, and witnessed the successful completion of the sales task of [-] copies of the first winner of the show, and got a chance to debut.

In addition, she also witnessed the ratings of the show slowly rising from 19.7, and now the average ratings fluctuate between 20 and 22, making it a prime-time show that makes TV Asahi proud and makes rival TV stations uneasy super show.

……

When she came to the TV station for the first time, Akamatsu Haruko was misunderstood by the people of the TV station as an artist who came to record the show.

Akamatsu Haruko knew she was a beauty—it would be hypocritical to say she didn't know.Not only was she mistaken for an artist, but also a representative sent her a business card, asking her to consider signing with an agency.

When I came here for the first time, such a funny episode happened.

However, as the number of participations increased, the staff of the TV station and the representatives of the colleagues all knew that she was the representative of GENZO.

Those who handed her business cards also knew that she had no intention of becoming an artist, and even so, they treated her very kindly.

Yanqiao Shin entrusted her to Watanabe Wanyumi, because of this, whether in the lounge or in the representative seat, Akamatsu Haruko sat with Watanabe Wanyumi.

During the live broadcast of the program, occasionally the camera would sweep across the representative seats. Shinichi Iwahashi, who used to be wearing a suit and was no different from other representatives, was sitting there, and no one in the audience cared.

Now, instead of a beauty sitting there, the one sitting next to her is also a beauty.

Not only that, although these two female representatives are both beauties, their temperaments are completely opposite.One is radiant, the other is exquisite and capable. Sitting separately may not have such a strong feeling, but together, they are more attractive.

In the past, Manyumi Watanabe sat next to Shinichi Iwahashi, and next to him was a serious male representative, but the audience ignored her in the sea of ​​blue and black suits.

And now sitting with Akamatsu Haruko, the two of them reflect each other, and each of them has added a lot of color. Even after the end of the last two episodes, there are still audiences who call to ask who these two female representatives are.

……

After sitting down on the representative table, Wanyumi Watanabe looked at her watch, "There are still 10 minutes." Said to Haruko Akamatsu, "Maybe today will be a tough battle, Haruko."

After working together often, Watanabe Wanyumi changed her nickname to Akamatsu Haruko "Haruko".

Akamatsu Haruko replied, "Yes, Watanabe-san."

The reason why I say this is because the band defending today is a hard rock band that has won three championships in a row. The bands that will come to compete tonight will challenge such a strong team.

The first game DREAMS COME TRUE came to participate in was to wrestle with such a strong team.

Wanyumi Watanabe and Haruko Akamatsu had a tacit understanding and did not continue talking.

Akamatsu Haruko has seen the band's performance and has great confidence in the band.The only thing that made her feel curious and uneasy was Shinichi Iwahashi who was going to put on a giraffe headgear to perform.

I don't know what the effect will be when wearing a headgear on the stage?Thinking in her heart, she couldn't help but look at Mayumi Watanabe.

Wanyumi Watanabe was confirming the workbook in her hand, not paying attention to Haruko Akamatsu's eyes.

Akamatsu Haruko is not the kind of beauty that people will find annoying, on the contrary, she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and Watanabe Mayumi likes her very much.And Wanyumi Watanabe happens to be the kind of working woman that Haruko Akamatsu yearns for, so the two have a good relationship.

In the eyes of Haruko Akamatsu, Shinichi Iwahashi is an admirable person with outstanding abilities, and Mayumi Watanabe also feels this way to her.Akamatsu Haruko respects Shinichi Iwahashi in her heart, so she also likes and respects Wanyumi Watanabe.

At such a time, seeing her devoting herself to the matter at hand and not caring about the appearance of Shinichi Iwahashi's band, Akamatsu Haruko was infected and felt relieved.

At this time, the voice of the dispatcher sounded in the venue: "There are 5 minutes left for the live broadcast, please get ready—"

The staff rushed off the stage, and there was no sound in the huge studio, except for the countdown voice of the staff shouting every 1 minute.

Even though she has sat here more than once, when she is in this countdown atmosphere, Akamatsu Haruko still feels a little nervous.

"Five seconds countdown—"

After saying this, the staff began to use hand gestures to do the final countdown: four, three, two, one!

……

The new band Paradise has officially started.

After being busy in the studio, it entered a glamorous live broadcast state, and the staff in the backstage were still rushing to make arrangements.After the first band came on stage, the third band in line was called to wait.

In the lounge, there is a live TV.

Of the bands who are still here, one-third of them are indifferent to the live broadcast, and the rest of them are all watching TV involuntarily, even if it is just out of boredom, it is hard to say that they don’t care at all .

The first one to appear was a duo folk band, singing weird lyrics. Miwa Yoshida was amused by their lyrics, and whispered, "It's so boring!"

It's boring, but it's funny.In other words, it's the kind of boring that makes people laugh.The inspectors probably thought so too, smiling as they presented them with an elimination spree.

Watching the TV screen shrink, and the stage shrinking in circles, these are all familiar scenes.

Still, there was a sense of wonder in the thought that all of this was happening right next to them on a soundstage.
