Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 531
"As a band, I don't even want to tip ten yen for a performance of that level just now."

Iwahashi Shinichi's words made Watanabe Wanyumi even more confused.

"However," he turned around and asked, "Manyumi-san, putting on makeup is quite troublesome, isn't it?"

"what?"

Mayumi Watanabe, who didn't know what Shinichi Iwahashi wanted to say, could only be led by his nose and answered the question, "It's not that simple."

"How about the makeup of the members of the band just now?" He continued to ask.

Wanyumi Watanabe thought about it for a while, "It's pretty good....It looks like it has been drawn well."

"So, I specially prepared such a gorgeous costume for the performance, and I also put on makeup well. It's so formal that it doesn't look like a road show in Osaka Castle Park, but rather like a solo concert at a Budokan."

"A band like this can't work so hard just to perform a comedy with passing audiences there." Yanqiao Shinichi said.

Mayumi Watanabe got some clues, she didn't answer, and waited for him to continue.

"It is of course the quality that a singer must have to not be intimidated by the boos of the audience during the performance. It is really good that they can have that kind of mentality. If it is not because of the overly solemn dress, I will have fun watching it. "

However, for a band that takes roadside performances so seriously, Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't think they are here to join in the fun.

"Perhaps the talent of Kansai people is to defuse embarrassment. However, I think there must be a line that cannot be crossed between the singer and the audience. Turning the audience's booing into an interaction and mingling with the audience seems very free and easy. , but it is not desirable.”

"Eliminate the line and the singer ceases to be a singer."

This is why Yanqiao Shinichi couldn't stand it after seeing Sheran Q playing with the audience.Once he did that, he forgot what he was performing there for, and the band ceased to be a band, in his opinion.

...worse than the singer who rolls up his sleeves and jumps into the audience to fight the booers.

"That's right." Watanabe Mayumi thought thoughtfully.

"After the band started interacting with the audience, it was more like watching a funny show than a live music scene," she said.

"If you don't think of them as a band, but as a funny show, it's probably worth a hundred yen."

When Shinichi Iwahashi said this, Wanyumi Watanabe couldn't help but think in her heart, whether she regards Sheran Q as a band or a comedian, these words are pungent enough.

——The ticket for the Yoshimoto Little Theater is [-] yen.

"That's why I feel a little pity." Yanqiao Shinichi told her.

"We probably saw it in Osaka Castle Park. There are not many formal bands like them. In a place where everyone performs easily, it takes courage to be so serious and fully armed."

"Playing with the audience is probably the best way this recruits can think of to defuse the audience's booing. But blindly relying on this defuse method will undoubtedly defuse their original musical possibility."

Yanqiao Shinichi's consideration is not unreasonable.But Mayumi Watanabe was obedient and asked, "So, are you optimistic about their musical possibilities?"

"It can't be regarded as 'bullish', but there is a possibility."

Shinichi Iwahashi said, "Tokyo's visual kei is currently on a decent scale, and there are not many authentic glam rock. The band just now, although amateur, can be heard as a novice. How much room for improvement is there? Not sure yet. But as a band, there are at least two redeeming qualities.”

"Oh?"

"One is that the song they just wrote is original, although the writing is not very good, but they are indeed creating." Yanqiao Shinichi said, "Second, although the performance level is not very good, but the self-consciousness of being a glam rock band That's enough."

As long as they don't start their performance, it's pretty bluffing to stand there and watch.

This saving grace was so sarcasm that Wanyumi Watanabe couldn't help laughing.

Of course not sarcasm.

"A novice amateur band, there are two merits. Not to mention, it is still a rare glam rock."

However, to know whether they have this possibility at all, it must first point out the way to correct their interaction with the audience.Let go of this, and then there is "possibility".

"So, I left the record company's business card." Iwahashi Shinichi told Watanabe Mayumi, "A band that has prepared to this level should call me when they receive the record company's business card."

Whenever a singer who wants to debut, what he dreams of when performing is to have a scout hand him a business card.

Watanabe Wanyumi hesitated to speak.

Yanqiao Shenyi guessed what she wanted to say, "The employees of the record company who appeared suddenly, when their minds were excited just after the performance, if they directly pointed out the countermeasures they had finally come up with, it would be exciting. Arouse their rebellious mentality."

Leave a business card and leave, and give them the initiative, so that it will be easier to communicate later.

"The one hundred yen, shouldn't it be the phone bill you paid for them?" Wanyumi Watanabe half-joked.

Yanqiao Shinichi was quite cooperative, "That's fine too."

Seeing that her expression became subtle, she explained with a smile, "This is the step to pass. Putting the tip and the business card in together will give them a hint of 'we have been photographed', and they will be more motivated .”

"Of course," Yanqiao Shen said with a smile, "it's not wrong to say that he paid their phone bill."

Mayumi Watanabe, who said it casually and it turned out to be right, didn't know whether to laugh or be speechless for a moment.

However, he was convinced of his ability to read people's hearts, "As expected of you." Then he asked, "So, are you going to sign them?"

"It's not that far away, but I just want to invite them to perform at the LIVEHOUSE first." Shinichi Iwahashi said, "Since we want to open the LIVEHOUSE and return to the mode of discovering newcomers from the underground to the ground, it is inevitable to cast a wide net."

First invite them to perform, correct their problems, discover their possibilities, and then decide whether to give a contract, and what kind of contract to give.

The two left Osaka Castle Park.

In the evening, Shinichi Iwahashi and Wanyumi Watanabe went to watch ZARD's performance together again.

The number of audience present tonight is about the same as yesterday. Not only that, after entering the arena, it is obvious that compared with the indifferent attitude of the audience when they waited for the opening last night, the atmosphere flowing in the auditorium tonight has begun to have some heat .

From the looks of it, last night's performance received a good response from the audience.

When the time came, the band stepped onto the stage.

Sachiko Kamaike, who was surrounded in the middle, managed not to forget the greeting "Osaka audience" at the beginning of the show this time.

Facing the audience, she was still very young, she looked no different from last night.

Shinichi Iwahashi looked at the young Sachiko Kamaike, and remembered the Sheran Q that he saw in Osaka Castle Park interacting with the audience slickly. This time, he finally made up his mind about Sachiko Kamaike's stage style.
