Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 311

lounge.

The first time is raw and the second time is familiar, and the fifth time is no different from the living room of your own home.

The three of them arrived neither early nor late, and after taking their seats, they just waited for the show to start.

Although the place is familiar, the people in the same room change every episode. In contrast, although these new bands are unfamiliar with the lounge of the TV station, they are very familiar with the band DREAMS COME TRUE .

When I came for the first time, no one cared about each other between the bands. When I came for the second time, other bands looked at them in various ways.

However, after crushing four games in a row, sitting here tonight in the same lounge as the bands, looking at them again, the thoughts in their hearts are much simpler and purer.

The four consecutive victories are so terrifying!
Boringly waiting for the show to start, the last amateur band came late. As soon as they entered the door, they saw DREAMS COME TRUE sitting there. Their female lead singer's eyes lit up, and she took the initiative to run up to say hello: "Yoshida-san?"

Mihe-chan raised her head. This reckless female lead singer was a tomboy with short hair, which was comparable to the short haircut that Iwahashi Shinichi had when she first met Mihe-chan.The clothes are very cool, although the words and deeds have nothing to do with the word cool, but they are a little cute like small animals.

"I've seen Dolimus Komtulu's previous performances, and Yoshida-san is really amazing!"

Being indoors, surrounded by unfamiliar bands, the female lead singer is relatively restrained in chasing stars on the spot, her voice is kept very low.

"Thank you!" Meihejiang was a little embarrassed to be praised face to face by her peers.

The lead singer of the band who will compete on the same stage is a fan of the four-time winning streak. There is a traitor in the opponent's band, and Shinichi Iwahashi looks on, thinking it is a bit funny.

But at the same time, I also felt a little popularity of the band face to face.

"Reiko."

It was the musician of this band who called that tomboy, and the female lead singer smiled at Meihechan again, and went back to her teammates.

……

At the same time, Watanabe Mayumi parked the car in the TV station's guest parking lot.

"Here we are," she said.

Haruko Akamatsu took off her seat belt in the passenger seat, "I'm sorry for being so late because of me, Watanabe-san."

In the past few weeks, Wanyumi Watanabe drove to pick up Haruko Akamatsu, and the two came to the TV station together.Tonight, Akamatsu Haruko had an emergency, and turned back to the apartment halfway, so she was delayed on the road for a while.

"You don't have to be so polite." Wanyumi Watanabe smiled, and changed the topic: "Tonight is the decisive battle of DREAMS COME TRUE, and I really look forward to their performance."

Akamatsu Haruko also smiled and accepted Mayumi Watanabe's kindness.

After getting out of the car, the two walked towards the elevator one after the other.

Because of Iwahashi Shinichi wearing a hood and sneaking into the participating bands, Watanabe Wanyumi and Akamatsu Haruko, who are clear about the ins and outs of this matter, now know the same secret together, and guard this secret together. Last week, they would sit together on the representative table, forming a miraculous relationship like comrades-in-arms.

After a delay on the way, the two became the last ones to reach the lounge.

Unlike the band lounge where the lineup is changed every week, although the representatives are somewhat competitive, everyone participates in the show together every week. In the industry, they will work together before they know it. Plastic flowers, anyway, will never wither.

Seeing the two of them coming in, several representatives nodded to them, while the other representatives were chatting.After listening to it, no surprise, it was also about tonight's winner.

"DREAMS COME TRUE will definitely win KING tonight, right?"

"It's really surprising to have such strength and expressiveness. Although I came to be a representative, but when I was in the review, I was unconsciously attracted by their performance."

Wanyumi Watanabe and Haruko Akamatsu were the latest to come. After sitting down, they played the role of listening consciously.

"There is another strange thing. It is also popular in underground bands to find a girl with a good voice to be the lead singer. Of course, it is the musician who is responsible for writing the song.

But in this band, the songs that have been sung so far are all written and composed by the female lead singer, and the two musicians are only responsible for the arrangement.It's rare to see a co-ed band dominated by a female lead singer, right? "

"The singing skills are amazing, and the music and lyrics are well written. He is a character."

"I think of that Yumi-san." It was the representative of Tokuma Records who said this.Tokuma Records has just acquired BEGIN, the champion of the previous issue, under its banner, and it is a time of prosperity.

When he said this, everyone present laughed.

The queen of new music, Yumi Matsutoya, is impeccable. If the shortcoming is her appearance, she said that the female lead singer of DREAMS COME TRUE looks like Yumi Matsutoya. On the one hand, she expressed her appreciation for her, and on the other hand, she euphemistically stated her shortcomings.

While chatting, the staff came over and asked them to take their seats in the front studio.

The delegates who had been having a heated chat just now stopped and got up to leave the table.Wanyumi Watanabe turned to look at Haruko Akamatsu, "Let's go too."

To witness the victory of DREAMS COME TRUE.

Witness this most important step of Shinichi Iwahashi's first dream.

……

At [-]:[-], on the TV, the advertisement broadcast ended, and the opening of the band Heaven was cut on time.

The host Yuji Miyake faced the camera and talked about the opening remarks that he had said countless times, "Good evening, the new episode of Band Paradise is about to begin—"

The viewers who switched to TV Asahi early and waited, or the viewers who just stepped on the channel and switched over, at this moment, they are paying attention to the band Paradise in this issue.

"After the previous episodes of the program were broadcast, the TV station received calls from viewers asking about DREAMS COME TRUE, and sent them support."

When these words were uttered, in front of the TV, many viewers smiled—the smiles of the accomplices.Those who will respond to this sentence are the ones who called the TV station after the program aired.

There are many warm-hearted TV viewers. If they are unhappy, they will call for complaints, and if they are happy, they will call for praise.For this day and age, phone calls are also a way to participate.

"Even during the competition, I received a lot of support from the audience. It is indeed DREAMS COME TRUE."

Yuji Miyake said, "Whether they can jump over the dragon's gate with everyone's support, or stop here after a proud four-game winning streak, depends on this crucial episode tonight-"

Speaking of this, he followed the usual practice and turned the topic to tonight's representative lineup, introducing the new company representative.

After the opening remarks, on the TV screen, the stage lights dimmed, and a band composed of female lead singer and male musicians stood up.The lead singer's hair is surprisingly short and looks striking.

Another "Night of Decisions" arrives for Band Heaven.

……

At 5 minutes to [-]:[-], the owner of the restaurant "Spring Field" asked the customers in the shop, "Do you mind if I change the TV to TV Asahi?"

Although it was a carnival Saturday, the business of this kind of small restaurant where ordinary people had a full meal or a drink was not very good, and the two or three customers present were all regular customers of the store.

It is for this reason that the boss solicits the opinions of the guests frankly.

"Is there any show that you must watch?" The man who spoke was a man in his 50s with a thin head.

"It's called 'Band Paradise'." The boss replied.

Another man in his forties with a crew-shaven head laughed and said, "Boss still watches such a fashionable show?"

Both were regulars who lived nearby.

"Actually, there is a band that participated in the show." The regular customers didn't answer "No", the boss acquiesced "Yes", and changed the channel to TV Asahi. "They work nearby, sometimes very late, and even arrive Come to eat at the store."

"It won't be an office worker band of our age?" Uncle Xie Ding joked.

The boss shook his head, "He's quite young, he seems to be working in a band while working part-time."

While talking, Yuji Miyake appeared on the TV screen at the beginning of the show, "After the previous episodes of the show were broadcast, the TV station received calls from viewers asking about DREAMS COME TRUE..."

"That's the band," said the boss, "Dolimus Komtulu."

"I have won four times in a row, and if I win again tonight, I will be the champion?" The flat-headed uncle was a little surprised, "Is it still such a famous band?"

"If you win the championship, you will be able to sign with a record company and debut." The boss poured out all the program information he knew, and said again: "I used to think they were the kind of unrealistic young people, but I didn't expect them to be so powerful."

On the TV, Yuji Miyake's opening remarks ended, and the first band appeared.

Uncle Xie Ding looked at the tomboy lead singer standing at the front, and muttered, "So young. My daughter is about this age."

"If it was a program like "STAR! Birth", I would still find it very interesting." The flat-headed uncle said, "But watching the band perform, you can only watch the excitement."

The three of you talked to each other, while chatting, while watching the show on TV.

For the boss, what he watched was also a lot of fun.The young people who often eat in the restaurant suddenly appear on TV and become a band that seems to have a bright future. This transformation is very fresh.

He is so keen on this show because he has a relationship with a "celebrity". As for the show itself, he doesn't really care much.

However, while these three people were chatting and waiting for DREAMS COME TRUE, the band of young people who often eat in the restaurant, the fourth person in the restaurant, the customer who had been silent all the time, was silently staring at the TV. , watching the show inside.

This person looked about 40 years old, and he looked like an ordinary office worker. He didn't speak when the boss was asking for opinions from customers just now, and he didn't seem to mind changing the station in the store.

band heaven...

Hearing the word "band", Nakai - this is the man's surname - thought "I really miss it" in my heart.

Nakai, who works in an accounting firm, also formed a band with his college friends during the GS boom when he was young. At that time, left-wing youths were still vigorous, and Nakai's band also participated in the activities of left-wing youths.

However, when graduation was approaching, both he and his friends cut off their long hair, put away their musical instruments, put on a suit and looked for a job, got married and had children after taking office, and their life went smoothly.

Since then, time has passed quickly, and even if Nakai occasionally thinks about his school days, he immediately puts these old memories behind him.Be it an oath or a declaration, the past is just in the past.

Over [-] years old, not very sensitive to trends, and Nakai doesn't know how time goes by. Today's young people pick up musical instruments and start performing.

Nakai watched the music show with a bit of nostalgia.

One band after another came on stage and left, some contributed beautiful performances, and some were played around by the 3-minute complete performance mechanism.A wonderful performance may not win the applause of the owners and diners in the restaurant, and the band that is played around will often make them smile.

While watching the show, Nakai thought to himself, although the young people now take up musical instruments to form a band, but in this fast-paced golden age, their music is full of confidence and optimism of carpe diem. It was completely different from the era he was in.

Even so, in Nakai's heart, there is no such idea that "the young people of this generation are hopeless". Little sparks.

This is the so-called era.Nakai thought.

Friends who have formed a band together before, if they watch this program now, I don’t know how they will feel.

I really want to drink some wine with them, just like the classic song "Look at the Strawberry White Paper Again" written by the band called BANBAN, and watch this show together.

While thinking about it, Zhong Jing heard the voice of the boss, "It will be Dolimus Kom Tulu soon."

On the TV screen, DREAMS COME TRUE, who has won four games in a row, has already stood on the stage.

"It's just these three people, they don't look like that." The man with a bald head said, "...how come there is one wearing a hood?"

"It's the 'setting' of the band." From the mouth of the boss, this word that sounds a bit out of place for people of the same age came out again.

What the flat-headed man thought of was another thing, "Since they often come to the store to eat, the boss must know what the person wearing the hood looks like, right?"

"Could it be because it's too ugly to be seen?" The bald man speculated.

The boss thought for a while, "That's not true. He is a very handsome young man. If he was born 20 years earlier, he would be a suitable protagonist in Toei's chivalrous film."

"So he's still a handsome guy." The crew cut man teased.

Just about to say something strange, on TV, the performance of DREAMS COME TRUE started, and the female lead singer sang the first line of the song they were going to sing tonight.

"It's pretty awesome."

The crew cut man took back the witty words he was about to say and replaced them with this one.

Nakai, who watched the show from beginning to end, smiled when he heard the man with the flat head, and said the first sentence since he came in tonight and finished ordering:

"A band that can win four seasons in a row is certainly not an idle person."

The guest who had been silent until now suddenly spoke to them, the boss and the two guests were a little surprised.

However, this accident was only for a moment, and immediately after, all the attention in the small restaurant was attracted by the performance on TV.
