Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 410 410. Idea Reconciliation
What appeared in front of Yanqiao Shenyi was a group of youths with heavy makeup and strange costumes.

If this outfit appeared on the street in an ordinary way, it would probably be regarded as some weird person.But if you like weirdos, they're all beautiful.

Of course, in the music industry, these young people are not called "weirds", but "visual kei".

Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Wanyumi have reviewed countless amateur band videotapes. They have watched bands of various styles and performances of various levels, so no matter what kind of band they see, they will not be surprised.

When Takao Tajima saw the group of youths coming over, he first greeted the people who congratulated him just now: "Mr. TOSHI." Then he greeted several other people.

The members of ORIGINAL LOVE seem to be very familiar with this team of young people.

Although the strange clothes and heavy makeup make people feel unapproachable, or even not like good people, but these young people are very polite, and even a little bit personable.

According to Takao Tajima, these behind-the-scenes people soon learned that these young people were members of a heavy metal band called "X".

Knowing that they are from X, Yanqiao Shen subconsciously looked at these young people for a while.In the underground music circle, this band has long been famous as a pioneer of visual kei, but it has never made a mainstream debut.

When Yanqiao Shinichi was still active in the underground music circle, he had heard the name of this band, but he had never met them.

……

Meguro Shikameikan is X's lair in the underground music circle. It has been performing frequently here for several years. When ORIGINAL LOVE was struggling in the underground music circle, it was under the care of X's captain Lin Jiashu. Although the genres are different, there is such a small friendship.

It is precisely because of familiarity with Tajima Takao's dream that he said "Congratulations" just now.

Yanqiao Shen is familiar with X's name, and on the other side, these young people in X are not unfamiliar with Yanqiao Shenyi's name.Among them, Lin Jiashu, the leader of the band, has the most different attitude towards Yanqiao Shenyi for a while.

Lin Jiashu spoke to them on behalf of the band. Although he is a young man who plays heavy metal, he is not withdrawn at all. In terms of social interaction, he should be said to be a master.

"Yanqiao-san."

Yanqiao Shenyi reported his name, Lin Jiashu smiled at him, his expression was gentle, but he also had a moderate sense of distance, giving people the impression of being very educated.

He was about the same age as Iwahashi Shinichi, but they were two completely different people.

Not only does Lin Jiashu's name sound elegant, but he is also personable and elegant.He is tall but slender, and his skin is so fair that even women would be willing to bow down.There is feminine delicacy between the eyebrows and eyes, but the whole face is not lacking in masculine demeanor. Such a person is a perfect match for the visual system that blurs the gender.

Compared with these exquisite youths, Yanqiao Shinichi is an out-and-out rough guy.

However, Iwahashi Shinichi, who can only have the opportunity to play the male lead in Toei's Ren Xia movie, and Lin Jiashu, who can play the role of the dreamy prince in the movie adapted from the girl manga, agree on at least one thing.

In the underground music circle, "not dealing with the mainstream" is regarded as a rule that cannot be violated by quite a few musicians, especially heavy metal bands, who are more committed to maintaining a sense of mystery and keeping a distance from the mainstream.

However, among these bands, X is firmly opposed to this faction.

This band does not have its own manager. For a long time, the leader Lin Jiashu has been acting as the manager, responsible for dealing with the outside world and contacting work.

In Lin Jiashu's view, music, no matter how good it is, is meaningless if no one listens to it.

Therefore, popularity is necessary, and exposure is also necessary.Rather than sticking to the old rules that do not deal with the mainstream, conveying their own music and ideas to more audiences is the real path for the band to take.

Such Lin Jiashu was looked down upon by some people in the underground music circle, thinking that he was too humble.However, rather than saying that he is humble, it should be said that he is very proud.

It is precisely because I have confidence in my music and think that what I make is excellent and top-quality music, so I have this kind of unwillingness that these music can only be circulated in small circles, and I hope to go to Mainstream, to the masses, and even to the world.

This kind of Lin Jiashu, and Shinichi Iwahashi, who is committed to creating a platform for underground bands to go mainstream, are quite compatible in the point that "good music should be heard by more people, rather than sticking to the old rules".

It's just that Yanqiao Shinichi didn't know Lin Jiashu's philosophy, he had only heard of X's name.Lin Jiashu is very familiar with the name because Yanqiao Shenyi has done several things to bring the underground band to the mainstream, even though the two parties have never met.

If it wasn't because he didn't like the competitive competition system of Band Heaven, maybe X would also sign up for Band Heaven to find a chance for TV exposure.

However, whether it is winning or being won by others, it does not conform to the concept of "music can't tell the winner" in the band's heart.While opportunity is important, it is also important to insist on yourself.

Even so, he didn't like the competition system of the band Heaven, and didn't sign up, which didn't prevent Lin Jiashu from thinking that Yanqiao Shenyi was the Bole who opened the way for underground bands, even though this Bole had never loved him.

Especially a while ago, he also acted as a producer for Human Chair and produced a single.Lin Jiashu, who is also a heavy metal band and has a lot of friends in the underground music circle, has heard of the band Human Chair. After the single was released, he bought a copy out of support. After listening to it, he was deeply surprised by the excellent production of the single.

I noticed the name of Shinichi Iwahashi on the column of arranger and producer, and I have a deeper impression of this person.

……

X will be performing soon, and Tajima Takao's ORIGINAL LOVE quickly packed up their things and left the backstage of the Rokumeikan for them.

Iwahashi Shinichi and Watanabe Wanyumi just came to visit the class, and they didn't go with them, and they were about to leave at this time.

When they met by chance, the two sides didn't actually speak much, they just greeted each other.Even so, before leaving, Lin Jiashu took the initiative to talk to Yanqiao Shenyi.

Not for anything else, but I hope Shinichi Iwahashi can accept the band's performance video.When the band performed at LIVEHOUSE, they distributed free performance videos to the audience from time to time.

This evening's performance also has this link, and they have prepared a sufficient number of video tapes in advance.

Being able to send videos to the audience for free with such a large amount of money is in sharp contrast to the bands who need to sell self-made records and videos to make a living.

Having said that, offering the video tape is a kind of show of affection.

Iwahashi Shinichi accepts this kindness and accepts the video tape.After I got it, I glanced at it casually, and unexpectedly found that this video tape was not an ordinary shoddy homemade product, but from a record company called EXTASY RECORDS.
