Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

On the contrary, it made the atmosphere in the exhibition hall a little awkward...

As the first band to appear, the most important task is to warm up the band, this behavior does not get any points.

"Kita, we are a rock band, this is too polite."

Ichichi Hongxia, who was sitting in the back and looking at the backs of the four teammates, quickly smoothed things over.

At the same time, this is also a kind of urging.

It was like a hilarious cross talk show, and the audience responded with some awkward smiles.

As a result, not only the audience felt embarrassed, but Kita on the stage also felt something was wrong.

"Then... then, we are going to sing the first song of our band. Enjoy, our original song "Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet"."

Kotobuki Hikaru thinks that he has never been afraid of stage fright.

At least, it's been a long time since he had stage fright from being watched by others on stage.

But... now, feeling the light coming from all directions, the fingers pressing on the cold black and white keys can't help but feel a little stiff.

While Kita was introducing himself to the audience on the side, the boy on the stage did not pay attention to everyone on the stage or the audience off the stage.

His eyes looked towards the Livehouse door which had been closed tightly, isolating the outside world from the performance hall.

Could it be that at the next moment, the door would suddenly open and I would see a familiar face?

Snapped......

On the side, Goto Kazuri suddenly patted Kotobuki Mitsuru's hand, causing the young man to return to the performance from his daze.

hum...

The sound of the tune also sounded immediately.

How can you be distracted at this time? It's so irresponsible...

Let’s focus on playing first.

However, when the first drum beat sounded, everyone in the band noticed something was wrong.

"Hong Xia's drum... was beaten wrongly..."

Qinbukiguang, who had not yet played the piano, turned his head slightly and looked at Hongxia.

It’s not that I want to blame her. Although the drummer’s mistake is the most fatal for the band, the members who ended the band are more worried.

Obviously Hongxia most hoped that the band could perform smoothly, and she also put on the most cheerful appearance.

But it was Hong Xia who made the mistake first.

Hong Xia's expression was very ugly. At the back of the team, when she looked at her teammates, she couldn't see a smile on her face. When she noticed Kotobuki Hikaru's glance, she immediately showed a smile. Cover up your loss.

Anyone who makes a mistake at such a critical moment will blame themselves.

After a questionable tempo at the beginning, the entire band's performance fell into disarray.

Kita, who lacked playing experience, didn't know how to change this situation, so he could only play along with the random rhythm.

As a result, Goto Kazuri's lead vocals completely conflicted with Kita's rhythm guitar.

"Suddenly falling and rising in the evening, I feel sorry for you

The sudden thunderstorm in the sky made me feel tired without bringing an umbrella.

Sora no machine is too good to be true

What does God’s mood have to do with me? "

The problem reappeared.

The lead singer's breath was disordered, and the rhythm couldn't match the music. He kept beating the beat time after time.

It's just too bad...

As if he was aware of this, Kita's expression became a little embarrassed, and he became even more nervous.

If you make one wrong move...it will become more and more wrong.

The bassist was immersed in his own world, swaying his body slightly as a metronome.

Faced with this situation, Goto Kazuri didn't know how to deal with it. He just lowered his head and tried his best to prevent his part from making mistakes.

Everyone... is making mistakes all the time.

Kotobuki Hikaru wants to save it.

But the next moment, Goto Ichiri's eyes suddenly turned over.

Oops...

I forgot to follow up on my own harmony when I was thinking about it.

In other words, it was because of the too chaotic performance that Kotobuki Mitsuru hesitated to enter the stage.

This is...too bad.

Standing at the back of the audience, watching his sister's band playing Iji Hoshige, I couldn't stop smiling no matter what.

The current performance, even compared to the original assessment, has not improved at all... but has even regressed.

Sure enough, it was probably caused by the pressure of being on stage for the first time.

squeak-

Halfway through the band's performance, the door to the stars was pushed open.

Then, a group of people dressed as office workers who were completely out of tune with the atmosphere of the Livehouse crowded in.

"Eh?"

Yi Ji Xingge was a little confused.

This is the first time since I opened this Livehouse...

Accept customers like this resentful office worker.

And it’s still on a typhoon day like this.

"Everyone, this is not a place where you can just borrow shelter from the rain." Yi Ji Xinge issued an eviction order.

However, the next moment, these office workers took out the tickets for today's performance from their pockets.

"?"

Itachi Xingge looked at the correct ticket in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Really, what on earth is the president thinking? He still asks us to come out for team building in this kind of weather..."

"Think on the bright side. My friend's company is now using Typhoon's interface to let them work overtime for free. The president allows us to get off work early to watch the show. We should feel lucky."

"It's true. In the past, most team building events were held at karaoke bars and taverns. This is the first time for us to gather at a livehouse, which is popular among young people."

"What on earth is the boss thinking?"

"When I originally wanted to refuse, my boss angrily told me that this was an order from the board of directors... Could it be that on the surface it was just a team building, but in fact it was an inspection of the Livehouse, the head office? Are you ready to acquire it?"

"Is it possible that our group will also have Livehouse business?"

As these office workers swarmed in, the originally sparse performance hall was quickly filled up.

Even the small amount of wine in the bar is about to be used up...

"What's going on..."

It’s not just Ichi Hoshige.

The band members who were playing on the stage were also confused.

Chapter 85 He turned and walked towards the mountains

The current situation in the rising market will often be reflected in the falling market first.

The current industry is in recession, and all practitioners are well aware of this. Even in Shimokitazawa, which is known as the Holy Land, you can still see closed record stores from time to time.

It can be seen from this that this industry has already started to decline early. If it continues like this, let alone record stores and record companies, it will be a matter of time before they go bankrupt.

Hiroyuki Maezawa took a Coke from the bar of Livehouse.

He originally wanted a glass of draft beer or soda water to get rid of the fatigue after get off work, but he didn't expect that the Livehouse had run out of wine, so he could only use Coke with the same carbonated taste as a substitute.

As a veteran manager in the industry, Maezawa was quite famous at one time and had discovered some very popular bands. He was even personally awarded an award by the president during the company's year-end summary meeting, which made him feel proud. Proud honor.

However, perhaps due to the market environment, the company's earnings are getting worse and worse. Although he escaped several rounds of layoffs because of his past achievements, even if he survived to the end like playing a battle royale game, he There is no escaping a fact that is ultimately faced.

The company seemed... about to collapse.

Not long ago, a certain chaebol family group suddenly acquired the company he worked for. In order to keep the company alive and prevent everyone from becoming an inconspicuous grain of sand in the wave of unemployment, the president In the end, I chose to surrender, and even shouted in the company very excitedly.

And most of the other employees, who knew that someone was taking over the business and that they would not lose their jobs, knelt on the ground and worshiped the mysterious character of the acquiring company, recognizing the thief as their father.

As for why, in Maezawa's opinion, this behavior is like recognizing a thief as his father...

In fact, after learning that he did not have to lose his job, he became depressed and unmotivated at work, and even prepared a letter of resignation in private.

In Maezawa's view, for musicians and rock bands, capital is a scourge.

Those capitalists are just guys who only know how to make money, and use sales volume and income as the only criteria to measure the success of bands and musicians.

Even if these people come to find me, their purpose is definitely not to let them discover any potential bands.

Rather...

"My daughter recently started a band. Can you think of a way to make them popular for me? Just like AB48. Alas, I don't know much about it. Can you think of a way to defeat them in a month?"

"?"

"I recently discovered a very good band here. Do you want to think of a way to make them popular? Then think of a way to let them debut in a variety show."

This kind of nonsense is obviously a dream, but it seems natural in the eyes of capitalists. Perhaps, no matter in any industry, such idiot Party A is not uncommon.

They only care about the soul and true meaning of music. What they really care about is just how much money this band can sell for a record, how long it takes to release a record, and how many people will come to watch the concert.

The evidence is that there are fewer and fewer bands that rely on performing and producing songs as their main way of survival. Instead, idol groups that rely on showing off their popularity and hyped by companies are becoming more and more popular.

Rather than letting the dream he once held on to be gradually distorted by the coercion and inducement of money, in Maezawa's opinion, it would be better to leave silently, turn around and walk towards the mountains, and just let himself disappear into the sea.

In fact, he originally planned to go to the president's office to resign today.

However, when he knocked on the door of the president's office and walked in, the president with half white hair suddenly spoke first.

"Kuan, let's go watch the live show with everyone in the company."

"?"

......

...

Livehouse.

How long has it been since you came?

Not to stand out from the crowd, but simply to distance himself from the crowd, Maezawa stood in the corner of the Livehouse.

Looking back on my life, when I was young, watching a performance at a live house was something I would never dare to think about.

He was born in the county below. There are no livehouses there. If you want to go to a place like this, you have to go to Tokyo, Shinjuku, or Shimokitazawa to watch a show at a ticket price that is not cheap in high school. show.

Suddenly he remembered that the most earth-shattering thing he had ever done in high school was to save money by working part-time for a long time. On one weekend, without telling anyone, he got on the Shinkansen to Shinjuku alone and watched a show. I like the band's performance.

In the end, because I missed the last train and had no money to stay in a hotel or Internet cafe, I slept on a park bench all night like a drunkard, and didn't return home until the next day.

As a result, when I returned home, I found that not only the teachers and family members at the school were looking for me, but even the police were dispatched.

sizzle...  

Coke makes the characteristic bubble sound of carbonated drinks as it gets used to it.

Ah...it tastes so good.

Maezawa looked at the Coke in his hand in surprise. Thinking about it carefully, he liked to drink this stuff when he was young.

When did it start?You spend all your time with tobacco and alcohol, and you fall in love with something that was considered stinky in the past?

The band currently performing on the stage was playing a piece that was technically terrible.
