Chapter 76 Change of Times
Friday was also Christmas Eve in 92. All members of AKKA gathered and prepared to go to Chiba County.

Ordinarily, today’s Christmas Eve is the day to reunite with family members at home, but today is also the day when Kazuki Akiyama participated in TV Asahi’s MUSIC STATION SPECIAL SUPER LIVE concert.

As the first party held, TV Asahi also paid enough attention to it, and put the concert venue at the NK Hall in Tokyo Bay, Chiba Prefecture.

The Tokyo Bay NK Hall opened in 1988 and can accommodate up to 6500 people. It is mainly used for concerts, stage plays, martial arts boxing competitions and other activities.

The concert opened in the evening, but their group had already arrived here in the afternoon. The huge white semi-circular building looked a bit like a large yurt.

Entering the hall, the stage has basically been set up, only some finishing work is left, and the staff coming and going are hurrying to deal with it.

A huge English title of the concert name was pasted on the wall of the main stage of the hall, and the venue with thousands of people was empty at the moment except for the front staff.

After looking around for a while, it was a bit empty, and under the dome, it seemed a bit oppressive. Before I had time to think about it, I hurried straight to the backstage.

More than half of the dozen groups of artists participating in tonight's show have already come, including Oda Tetsuro, B'z, and TUBE who belong to the same production company as Kazuki Akiyama.

Including Kazuki Akiyama, there are as many as four or five groups of artists related to BEING, accounting for as much as one-third of the artists tonight. It can be seen that BEING's influence in the music world has reached its peak at the end of 92.

Kazuki Akiyama went to take care of his own family first, Tetsuro Oda and B'z, who are more familiar, naturally chatted for a while, and the members of TUBE also met several times to say a few polite words.

Kazuki Akiyama also saw Noriyuki Makihara, and was about to go over to say hello, but the backstage seemed a bit crowded due to the large number of artists and staff.

Seeing the staff in the aisle carrying some equipment, Kazuki Akiyama carefully leaned against the wall to avoid it, and when he leaned back slightly, he seemed to bump into the people around him.

Before Kazuki Akiyama apologized, a slightly high-profile provocative voice sounded,
"Ahoyi, don't you guys have eyes?"

Akiyama Kazuki frowned and looked at the young man beside him who was about the same height as him but much thinner. Ahoyi means idiot in slang, which can be said to be quite impolite.

"What are you looking at, as a newcomer, don't you know how to apologize to your senior?" Seeing Kazuki Akiyama staring at him, he became more and more upset.

"Akasaka-kun, pay attention to your words and deeds." The slightly longer young man beside him seemed to recognize Kazuki Akiyama, first stopped Akasaka Akira's intention to pester him, and then nodded to Kazuki Akiyama to express his apology.

Kazuki Akiyama also owed him a debt, after all, he was wronged first, and just now Akasaka Akira's high-profile voice had attracted the attention of several groups of artists around him, but everyone seemed to be watching the excitement without taking too much trouble.

Invisibly, the plastics industry stands here are almost all competitors. After all, the market is so big, and if you are alone, everyone else will eat less, so it is better to give up illusions if you expect them to say a word.

After Akiyama Kazuki bowed and signaled, he turned and left without looking at the young man named Akasaka Akira.

"Zhu Xingjun, why are you stopping me? Is an unknown newcomer being so rude to seniors now? It's not too much to let him sit down."

Hearing the gradually weakening words from behind, Akiyama Kazuki smiled inexplicably.

"Qiu Shan-kun, are you alright?"

Noriyuki Makihara, who heard the voice rushing over, asked with concern.

Akiyama Kazuki shook his head to indicate that nothing happened.

"Don't worry about them, they're just dying idol groups, they have no real talent, and they only use juggling on stage to please the audience."

Noriyuki Makihara seems to be very contemptuous of such idol groups. In his opinion, only talented musicians are worthy of standing on such a stage. Idols who only play cool tricks are more like clowns to please the audience.

After exchanging with Noriyuki Makihara for a while about the achievements in music creation, Kazuki Akiyama returned to the small circle belonging to BEING. There are so-called small groups everywhere, and no one is immune.

The so-called rivers and lakes exist where there are people, nothing more.

When going back in a circle, Kazuki Akiyama also greeted Shizuka Kudo and Chisato Moritaka.

After being in the entertainment industry for so long, he had heard about the reputation of these two.

Kudo Shizuka has successfully transformed into a singer after coming out of an idol group like Kitten Club, and the sales of the three singles released this year can basically be ranked in the top half of ORICON's annual list this year.

It is said that he has already begun to try to write his own lyrics, and he is also an ambitious singer.

And Chisato Moritaka, who is known as the most beautiful leg in Showa, is not tall, and she is about a head lower than Kazuki Akiyama, about 1.6 meters.

She is also one of the few people who can successfully transform from an idol to a powerful singer. She can write lyrics and compose music.

Although the two of them are seniors, they don't mean to despise Kazuki Akiyama. After all, his performance in the two singles this year is obvious to all, and he may be another big singer in the future.

Shizuka Kudo, who is less able to compose, joked that she might consider her if there are suitable songs in the future, and Kazuki Akiyama naturally agreed very politely.

Among so many artist combinations, there is another artist who has attracted Kazuki Akiyama's attention, but it is because of his special appearance.

The moment Kazuki Akiyama saw him, he thought of an internet term from his previous life, which was not mainstream. .Funeral family. .

After asking around with Matsumoto Takahiro, Akiyama Kazuki found out that this is X-JAPAN's lead singer TOSHI.

Looking at his hairstyle, Kazuki Akiyama nonsensically thought of Jiraiya who changed his hair color to maroon, which is almost his current appearance.

Before he could continue to look at it, a staff member came to inform him that the rehearsal was about to begin.

The entertainers in the backstage also started to get busy, either changing clothes or preparing musical instruments.

Kazuki Akiyama's appearance order is probably a little higher in the midfield. After all, he is a rookie and can't play the role of the finale.

Fifteen groups of artists have been rehearsing one by one for more than two hours, and the time has come to around five or six in the afternoon.

The performance hall has already been prepared, and the audience who bought tickets in advance have already lined up outside, ready to enter.

Although the background was still far from the front, Kazuki Akiyama seemed to have heard the buzzing noise of countless people gathering, and took a deep breath involuntarily.

Oda Tetsuro next to him seemed to see his nervousness, and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, Akiyama-kun, your time has just arrived."

Yeah, my time has just begun.
