Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 38
Takenouchi Akihito also sensed Iwahashi Shinichi's mood, took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and lit one himself.

He took a cigarette, slowed down, and continued; "Tell me about this band. The band she joined originally had an agent, and because she opposed the withdrawal of the original lead singer, she was not very optimistic about her. Being the lead singer, I just gave up the band and I'm dealing with the finishing touches."

"I think if they act as their own manager in a sloppy way, or find someone else to take care of them, just introduce you to them. I don't know much about the ecology of underground music, but, because I only know you , I also trust you, so if I can entrust her to you, I feel relieved.—She joined the band, and now I only told me one thing, please keep it from me, it’s a great responsibility to keep a secret, isn’t it? ?"

"It's also a lot of pressure to be entrusted to such an important person." Iwahashi Shin shook his head and said bluntly.

"No, it's not for you to help her get ahead..." Takenouchi Akihito denied, "Anyway, please meet them. Aside from her, the rest of the band are very powerful, the captain, the senior who invited her. , It is said that he is famous in the underground music circle and has formed a band called 'ABNORMAL'. Have you heard of Yanqiao?"

"ABNORMAL?" Iwahashi Shinichi thought.

This band was the one he met when he first went to help Feng Island.

"Is there an impression?"

"Well, I saw it once." He said calmly.

"That's good." Takenouchi Akihito seemed relieved, and asked again, "Please meet them, it is a sincere request as a friend."

Iwahashi Shinichi agreed.

Not only for the relatives of Takenouchi Akihito, but also for ABNORMAL, a band that has experienced personnel changes.

This is a band that was abandoned by Mineshima, the manager who brought him in.

In addition, Iwahashi Shin is also very concerned about the fact that she is studying Chinese literature.

It is not because he is a Chinese person that he has a good impression of people who study Chinese literature, but because, in his opinion, people who are patient enough to learn such boring professional knowledge should have very strong willpower.

Maybe it will be a buildable material.

As a result, the first meeting with the band was not arranged by Takenouchi Akihito, but by Mine Island.

After meeting with Takenouchi Akihito, and returning home, Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it, called Minejima, and after the greeting, asked him about the ABNORMAL band.

Although he knew that the members of the underground band changed frequently, it was enough to surprise him that the band that had helped out two or three months ago suddenly reorganized.

"ABNORMAL?" Mine Island said with a sigh, "That's true. The lead singer of the band changed a bit at home. The older brother who was supposed to inherit the family business suddenly quit, so he quit the band and went back to inherit the family business."

"There is such a thing." Iwahashi Shinichi laughed straight after hearing this.

"After that, the band was going to be reorganized. Captain Hirakawa said he wanted to do some girlpop. Drummer Xiaoliu also agreed. The bass player was not very satisfied, so he withdrew peacefully, and Hirakawa called his friend to fill the seat."

"I admire Hirakawa's talent, but I don't like the female lead singer he chose. He insisted that Akamatsu - the female lead singer, has an extraordinary sparkle in her body. But I, I think, if you use her, it will definitely be ruined. The band. Since we couldn't reach a consensus, we decided to break up."

Akamatsu, this is the first time Iwahashi Shinichi has heard this girl's surname.

"But, Minejima-san, why do you think that female lead singer is not good?" He was most concerned about this.

"The girl sings well, but lacks the talent to form a team." Mine Island said, "Among the band members, the ideal is to bring the band to a higher level, and the second is to maintain the current level. Worst of all, although there are personal talents, if you form a team with her, I am afraid that the band will not be mainstream in this life."

Speaking of this, Feng Dao smiled helplessly, "Hirakawa said I was looking at people with tinted glasses."

After Feng Dao finished explaining, he asked again, "Why did you think of asking them about it?"

Iwahashi Shinichi told him that he was entrusted by Takenouchi Akihito.Of course, nothing was mentioned about the personal situation of the girl surnamed Akamatsu.

Feng Dao laughed when he heard it, "There is such a coincidence." After laughing, he asked, "Then what do you think?"

"I made an appointment to meet and see." Iwahashi Shinichi said, "As for whether to agree or not, I don't know yet."

"My advice - no, please don't refer to my advice when it comes to choosing new people." Mine Island said, and changed his mind again, "Look and judge with your eyes. I only think about myself. For your reference, maybe Hirakawa is right, and I really wear tinted glasses."

"Pony crossing the river." Iwahashi Shen thought to himself.

"Just right," Mine Island simply invited him, "I'm still dealing with their aftermath work. The day after tomorrow, at the club in Shimokitazawa, the band will make their first appearance after the reorganization. Would you like to replace me and accompany them to perform? See you in person?"

"That's true." Iwahashi Shin said.

So, in the evening of the day after tomorrow, instead of Mine Island, he took the reorganized ABNORMAL to the show.

ABNORMAL's guitarist Hirakawa Tatsuya and drummer Koyanagi Masafa had already met when they helped out last time. It was the first time the newly-appointed bassist Kawada Tomohisa met, and then this female lead singer——

"Akamatsu Haruko, please advise." She put her hands on her knees and saluted Iwahashi Shin.

She is of medium height, with shoulder-length hair, fair and delicate cheeks, and big moist and bright eyes. She is not a beautiful girl like Tiangu Jinli in ordinary people, nor a girl with distinctive features like Yoshida Miwa, but an unquestionable beauty. .

It's just that she has a slender body, and if she uses Yoshida Miwa, who has spent the most time together, as a reference, her physique is only about two-thirds of her size.

Takenouchi Akihito said that she was not in good health, but she could tell at a glance.

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't tell Takenouchi Akihito that he was leading the team for ABNORMAL today.Unbeknownst to the band, he planned to see their performances, "interview" them, and then decide what to do.

After the reorganization, the first thing the band has to face is the assessment from the audience.Especially in the case of ABNORMAL, the lead singer and bass player both quit. Although the main creator is still there, they have actually replaced half of the lineup.

Therefore, the audience's assessment of them will be extremely severe.Because there is also dissatisfaction with the replacement of members and rejection of new members.

Iwahashi Shinichi knew this, but he didn't expect that when the band made their debut, the audience's rejection would be so strong.

ABNORMAL came on stage, and when he was introduced to Tomohisa Kawada, his reaction was okay. When he introduced the name of the lead singer Akamatsu Haruko, the audience booed.

"Get off!"
