Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 772
An upright man.

The following program seemed to confirm the husband’s evaluation. After watching the performance, Iwahashi Shinichi was moved by the band and produced the underground single "I’m Standing Here" for them. .

"To make this decision, Shinichi-san Iwahashi must have been under considerable pressure..."

In the TV screen, with the scene where the band rehearses together, the narrator of the program said so.And when this sentence was finished, the scene changed and it returned to Mashima Masari.

This time, he was sitting on the edge of the LIVEHOUSE stage, with his teammates still discussing behind him.

Speaking of "Shinichi-san Iwahashi", as a wife, put aside what you want to say for now and watch the TV screen.

"How can you not be timid?"

The words of Mashima Masatoshi refer to the decision made by the band, but here, it seems to be answering the sentence about Iwahashi Shinichi that the narrator said just now.

How could Shinichi-san Iwahashi, who decided to stand with the band, not be under pressure?
The person sitting in front of the TV silently read the unspoken meaning conveyed by this scene switch.

On TV, Mashima Masatoshi showed a shy smile like a child, with big eyes, looking sincere and gentle, "We didn't decide to stand up because we defeated timidity. Although we are timid, we still have to take it with us. Shy to stand on stage."

At this time, lead singer Hiroto Komoto, who had been talking to his teammates in the background and running around on stage, suddenly broke into the interview camera and made a mischievous face at the camera.

This appearance doesn't look like an adult at all.However, this shot appeared here, which made people watch, but they couldn't help but be moved by the purity of the band.

The screen on the TV went black, and a line of words was typed out.

"It's not because you act without fear, it's because you choose to do so even when you're afraid."

This summary seems to be talking about the band THE BLUE HEARTS, and it is also talking about Shinichi Iwahashi, the producer who extended a helping hand when no one reached out to the band.

The husband who was sitting in front of the TV seemed to regard Shinichi Iwahashi as a hero when he saw this.

"It's really amazing!"

However, it was the wife beside him who said this sentence.As a wife, she had already forgotten the sarcasm she was going to say to her husband just now, and she was full of "Yanqiao-kun is so handsome and responsible".

A producer who looks younger than her can call "Iwahashi-kun"... that's right.

"Producer Yanqiao is really a handsome man!" My wife praised him all the time.

This kind of bravery, just like the righteous hero in Ren Xia's movie, hits the heart of his wife.She secretly looked forward to the scene of interviewing Yanqiao-kun in the future.

When the wife is so enthusiastic, the husband agrees that Shinichi Iwahashi is great, but he is not reconciled that she deviates from the main point and ignores the protagonist of the show. He added: "These guys from THE BLUE HEARTS are also very amazing."

"That's right." The wife nodded in agreement.

……

Next, the show showed scenes of music fans sitting in protest outside the Meldac record in solidarity with THE BLUE HEARTS, and pictures of the underground band who specially sang "I'm Standing Here" during the performance to express their support.

Images of ordinary people calling the record store and queuing up for the single...

There is also an interview with the first edition of the music magazine "MUSICA" that wrote a feature.

"BLUE HEARTS has a master, and I am also a master, maybe because of this." He faced the interview calmly.This appearance, in the eyes of the audience, is another flavor.

Whether it's ordinary people who support the band, the underground music circle who support the band, a book that has written a special topic, and Shinichi Iwahashi who released an underground single for the band and came to their side.

Everyone who appeared on the stage was just working hard for the same thing for a certain pure belief.

Seeing this, no one will doubt the band's intentions for such a struggle, and will no longer speculate that they made such efforts just to gain fame.

Young audiences find a band that dares to fight head-on handsome and heroic, and cheer for their rebellious spirit.But older viewers see a quality that is quietly dissipating in this age of luxury and luxury.

A documentary program, seen in the eyes of different people, has different experiences.

However, although the thoughts in the mind are different things, no matter whether they are young or old, no matter where they are, there is one thing in common among all kinds of thoughts.

That is, I saw hope from the producer Shinichi Iwahashi who ran through it and extended a helping hand to the band.

Where will this person who is trusted by underground musicians and can stand up in the most troubled times lead the band?The name that was mentioned again and again in the show, his existence not only guided the band, but also gave the audience some hope and expectation.

"but--"

On the TV, the announcer who served as the narrator changed from a male voice to a female voice, the voice of the narration changed, and a new name appeared in this episode of the program.

Not only that, she is also the most important name that appears in this episode of the program.

"Joan Jetsun, the queen of rock and roll who is far away in the United States, also heard about this incident..."

In the TV screen, the face of a foreign woman appeared.

……

Joan Jeter!
No one could have imagined that this name would appear on the show until now, the connection between them, and even the queen of rock and roll would be interviewed by TV Asahi.

But the doubts in the hearts of the audience who were deeply confused in front of the TV were quickly answered——

After hearing a name I've heard several times tonight.

"In 1986, Joan Jetsang announced that he would participate in the all-female music festival 'NAONのYAON' at the Budokan concert for the first eight years..."

TV Asahi was so smart that it even got Joan Jeter dropping a bomb at a concert and announcing that he was going to the festival.

"And it was Shinichi-san Iwahashi who planned the music festival who invited her to perform."

When the screen turned, Joan Jeter faced the camera and talked about the past, "Shinichi gave me the record of THE BLUE HEARTS. He said, 'That is a blue heart, you are a black heart' .”

As she spoke, she smiled, as if telling a happy joke.

On the TV, Japanese subtitles were played to match her speech.

Shinichi Iwahashi who joked about "Blue Heart and Black Heart" in the past, and Joan Jeter who reached out to the band for the person who gave her "Blue Heart and Black Heart" today.

Another extremely pure person appeared, reaching out to the band for what she believed in and for the people she trusted.

Joan Jeter took the initiative to invite the Dilemma band to perform in the United States, and also invited the blue heart to be a guest on one of her and her black heart's ongoing tour.

THE BLUE HEARTS, a band that was deeply mired in Japan, suddenly had wings on their backs.Fly to the vast sky, overlooking the magnificent ocean.

And it was not someone else who planted these wings for them, but the producer Shinichi Iwahashi.

At the end of the show, the band that went to the United States stood on the stage in a foreign country, facing the Western audience in the audience, and introduced himself in broken English:

"We are THE BLUE HEARTS, we are from Tokyo!"

The voice fell, and the show began.In a foreign country, on a strange stage, they sang their own songs——

"'That was indeed something important, and I will never forget it in my life'. The band's footsteps are stepping into a vast and unknown future."

Among the singing, the expressions of the excited Western audience captured by the camera, and the hard-working performances of the band members, the narrator began to talk about the epilogue of this documentary.

"While the future is unknown, one thing is clear."

"It's freedom. Because you have the freedom to create, you have the power to take off."

"Spread your wings and fly to THE BLUE HEARTS in the United States. The wind that sends them there is 'freedom' and the uncompromising attitude towards freedom."

On the TV screen, the list of production staff began to scroll.

Although the ending of "Running to the Stars and Seas" fails to explain what the band will do next, in the eyes of the audience, it is enough to feel the strength of the band and a hope of "stay tuned".

I want to continue to pay attention to this band and see what their next moves are.

This hope continues the audience's expectations for the band.The sense of anticipation intensifies the sympathy for the band and the indignation at the brutal interference of creative freedom.

Gotta support this band!Can't let them fall!

On the one hand, there is the expectation of the band, and on the other hand, at the end of the program, the name interspersed in it—Shinichi Iwahashi, the seed sown in the hearts of the audience, is also watered and germinated in this expectation. .

It was the producer Shinichi Iwahashi who gave the band the wings and wind of "Running to the Sea of ​​Stars".

The theme of this documentary program is undoubtedly the incident of THE BLUE HEARTS.But Shinichi Iwahashi is like the dark thread of this episode, attracting the audience's attention and arousing their curiosity.

Until the end of the show, it left a majestic impression in the hearts of the audience.

Who is Shinichi Iwahashi?

The information revealed in this episode of the program alone cannot satisfy the audience's curiosity at all.The man in black behind the scenes is often full of mystery, but showing a corner of it makes the audience unforgettable.

Young and promising, handsome.Not only has remarkable commercial achievements, but also has the courage to stand out for underground music, which satisfies all the imagination of music producers in the eyes of ordinary audiences.

In the eyes of young audiences, he is an object of admiration.Older audiences were moved by his masculinity.In the hearts of some housewives who watched the show, this young producer with a tough appearance is like a heroine in the music industry.

This episode not only filled the audience's expectations for the band THE BLUE HEARTS, but also made the audience focus on the man in black behind the scenes.

On the one hand, there are audiences who admire and appreciate, and on the other hand, there are more audiences who feel familiar with the name Iwahashi Shinichi.

But I didn't see it on the inside pages of the records he made, nor was it because of the illusion brought about by the constant mentions in the show just now, but a few days ago...

That series of commercials that aired one after another like a serial: Fusion.

……

On the TV, the show came to an end, and the staff list began to scroll.When the wife finished watching the second half of the program with relish, she finally had the time to repeat the old story.

She looked at her husband and drew her voice again, "That's it~"

The husband glanced at her, "What?" After watching the show, he finally had time to pay attention to his wife.

"Isn't that rock bridge producer amazing?"

The husband showed a "here again" expression, "You just like his face, don't you?" It's really unbearable to be able to say good things about a photo.

"Isn't it amazing?" The wife had more important things in her heart, and didn't care about her husband's attitude at all.

When the husband nodded, "That's really powerful."...It's really a character who makes people want to say something bad but can't speak against his wife.

"Mmm, yes." The wife nodded.

She changed the subject, "You just said that the project called 'Fusion' is stupid, right?"

"Huh?" The husband narrowed his eyes, he didn't expect the topic to jump like this.

The wife had done enough to reveal the mystery, "But, the producer of that project is the producer of Rock Bridge."

The husband showed an expression as if he had been struck by lightning, "Really?"

"At the end of every advertisement, there will be the words 'Producer Yanqiao Shinichi'." The wife plausibly said, "'Yanqiao' is not a common surname, it can't be such a coincidence, and there is a second 'Yanqiao Production' people' right?"

"Maybe there are... Besides, even a great producer may not be able to do stupid things." The husband refused to admit defeat, and tried to make amends for himself.

The wife looked at her husband's attitude of never bowing his head, and was speechless and unhappy.As a husband, after watching the program he wants to watch, he is ready to get up and leave.At this moment, the feature film on TV finished and commercials began.

The wife let out an "ah".

"What?" The husband was startled, and cast a concerned look.

On TV, an ad is playing.

The tough rock band followed Enkabijin to do Enka's signature moves, and the three girls put on gorgeous kimonos together, just like the three female officials in the Hinamatsuri dolls.

Yatsushiro Aki matched the style of DREAMS COME TRUE, and sang and laughed with Yoshida Miwa.

The collective ad that I saw on the first day has changed again.

When Akina Nakamori and ORIGINAL LOVE reappeared in the screen—this time, she was replaced to cooperate with the band's performance.

The change of the lens ends here, and the two lines of subtitles that remain unchanged are displayed on the screen.

"Producer Shinichi Iwahashi."

"Fusion."

No, this time it's different, there's a third line of subtitles.

"On October [-]th, the first bullet will be released."

As a husband, he watched this ad with his wife.

"Is this what you mean by 'fusion'?" He frowned.

The wife nodded, "This is what I told you, the plan of the producer of Yanqiao. However, today's advertisement is different from before." She changed the subject, "But today's advertisement announced the release time..."

While talking, I heard my husband mutter: "Even so, it doesn't prove that the two rock bridge producers are the same person."

"Then call the TV station and ask."

The wife looked at the stubborn husband and got up to call the TV station.
