Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 700
Changing from being a guitarist to becoming a DJ will not damage the coquettish brilliance of Takuji Sakamoto (Emi Hakata).On the contrary, after leaving the overly gorgeous band of Mimi CLUB, he looks more proud and full of air now.

She deserves to be a master of women's clothing who brings hope and dreams to the world.

The two big players, Ishii brother and sister, were nowhere to be found, and Amaya Mari was left with the task of taking Iwahashi Shinichi to meet Sakamoto Takuji later.Looking at it like this, when Minako Ishii told him that she would also call Amaya Marisi, [-]% of the time, she had already made up her mind that she wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

"I'll go with you, Yanqiao-san."

Amaya Masato took over the task Minako Ishii gave her, and talked to Iwahashi Shinichi.This temper is really good.

Yanqiao Shen smiled at her, "Then I'll leave it to you."

After receiving such a sentence, Amaya Mali smiled, "Let's go, Yanqiao-san."

Before coming, I made an appointment with Sakamoto Takuji in advance.After he had withdrawn from the stage, he met them at the entrance of the preparation room.In the backstage place, ordinary customers have no one to guide them, so naturally they have no chance to approach.

"Iwahashi-san is busy right now."

He just came out of the dance floor, and it looked extraordinarily clean outside.Because of this, silence is a bit awkward.On the way, Amaya Mari spoke proactively as if wanting to start a topic.

Yanqiao Shinichi let out a "hmm", and joked to himself, "Being very busy, there is no need to be humble."

Amaya Mari laughed at his words, glanced at him, and said a wisecrack, "Just like your ability to dance and play the keyboard..."

It is a "fact" that requires no modesty.

"The band is going on tour next month," she said.

When it was impromptu to form a team with Miwa-chan, it was Amaya Mari who helped introduce the temporary guitarist. The identity of the DREAMS COME TRUE giraffe man is no secret to her.

This is just right, Yanqiao Shinichi chatted with her generously, "The first stop is Fukuoka.... Has Mimi CLUB performed in Fukuoka?"

"I've been there several times." Amaya Masato said, "Everyone in the band likes Fukuoka very much. Every time the performance is over, we must go to Nakasu Street."

"Haha!" Yanqiao Shin laughed.

If Mimi CLUB, this is really normal.

"Mimi Club is also very popular now."

Yanqiao Shinichi must always pay attention to the popularity of the music industry and the sales on the charts. Although the changes in the band's internal members are not within his focus, the movement of Mimi CLUB in the past two years is not in his mind. It's a blur.

In 1985, when Shinichi Iwahashi decided to become Miwa-chan's manager, Mimi CLUB had signed a contract with CBS Sony and changed from an underground band to an above-ground band.

However, in the first few years of his debut, there has been no big splashes, and he has been steady and steady. Under the arrangement of the record company, he has toured nationwide.

It wasn't until last year that he had accumulated a certain amount of fame, and the albums he released could be seen at the top of the charts.Generally speaking, it is a steady accumulation of popularity, and then converted into popularity.

Now, the band is not popular, but its strength has been recognized by the industry. The record company is optimistic that they can make a further leap forward, and the loyal fans are waiting by their side like believers, waiting for the moment when the band will soar into the sky.

But unfortunately, it was just a breath away.If you can wait for this breath, it is not a dream to be promoted to the front line, but if you can't wait, then you can only hold the brand of "backbone band" and become the middle level of the music industry.

"However, even if the band becomes popular, I can still come out and dance like this." Amaya Mari said something naive.

Although it is also true.Mimi CLUB's overly gorgeous stage style makes other members look blurry except for Ishii Ryuya, who has an infinite sense of presence. Everyone knows that this band has backup dancers, but they don't pay attention to who the backup dancers are.

And this is also the reason why the audience does not care about the changes of the members of the band.

Yanqiao Shinichi replied, "Me too."

Anyway, once the headgear is taken off, no one will love it.On the contrary, the lead singers of their two bands, whether it's Ishii Tatsuya or Miwa-chan, have the style of shaking hands and greeting everyone one by one when they are recognized.

Not only that, but Tatsuya Ishii, who had a bold and unrestrained style during the underground band period, may also trigger the hidden plot of inviting beautiful female fans to drink.

Amaya Mari laughed at his words again, remembered something, and said, "Yanqiao-san, your dance is really good."

At this time, the person standing at the entrance of the preparation room and dressed as a young fashionable woman waved at them, "This way, two!"

Yanqiao Shinichi greeted Amaya Mali, "Let's go there."

Amaya Marisi nodded, and waited for Yanqiao Shinichi to take a few steps forward before slowly following behind him.When I got closer, I saw Takuji Sakamoto talking to someone——

The person he was talking to was hiding in the door of the preparation room, and Takuji Sakamoto, who was waiting to greet the two of them, stood outside the door.

……

The preparation room was brightly lit and luxuriously decorated, and it was even a little dazzling when you stepped in.As one of the most popular discos in Tokyo right now, Juliana's backstage preparation room is full of flamboyant styles from the bubble era.

Sakamoto Takuji casually introduced the person who spoke just now to Iwahashi Shinichi and Amaya Masato, "This is Nagao-kun."

The one called "Nagao-kun" was a young man.A slightly immature face makes people suspect that he may not even be 20 years old.

"Nagao-kun is still a student, working part-time with Juliana." Takuji Sakamoto lit a cigarette and sat down on a chair by the window.Wearing a skirt, the legs are slanted, and even the sitting posture is full of femininity.It can be seen how rich his experience in women's clothing is.

"Hi, both of you, I'm Nagao Tomoaki."

The young male greeted them both with a bow.

This young man named Nagao Tomoaki works part-time as a DJ in Juliana, but he is still a novice.While chatting, Shinichi Iwahashi knew that he was studying fashion design in Tokyo and also loved music, so he formed a band with his friends.

He is quite a fashionable young man. Although he looks ordinary in appearance, there is nothing extraordinary about him.

The only relationship with the word "fashionable" is that Shinichi Iwahashi has a very fashionable girlfriend. He is not too interested in what fashionable young people are doing. He just heard him say that when he was forming a band, he was a little bit A little bit more attentive.

"This Iwahashi-san is a very good band producer." Sakamoto Takuji said to Nagao Tomoaki.

There was a hint of humor in his tone.However, this hint of joking is not because he is talking ironically, but for another reason——

"Really?" Nagao Tomoaki's young and immature face was expressionless, looking quite cold.He coolly told Iwahashi Shinichi that he formed a punk band, but it was just out of interest.

In other words, I have absolutely no desire to make a mainstream debut, nor have any ideas of external affirmation, I just plan to have fun by myself.The title of famous producer is not attractive to Tomoaki Nagao.

Just now, Takuji Sakamoto must have mentioned this on purpose when he knew that Tomoaki Nagao was not interested in the title of famous producer.

But this is not necessarily to keep Iwahashi Shen from coming to Taiwan for a while, it is better to say that he made a small sarcasm of Nagao Tomoaki and made fun of him.

"There are more great bands than great producers." Yanqiao Shinichi replied seriously.

Takuji Sakamoto couldn't help laughing.The young man named Nagao Tomoaki didn't expect to be answered with such a sentence. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the man surnamed Yanqiao.

Amaya Matoshi was listening on the sidelines, feeling in his heart that this was what Yanqiao Shinichi would say, and it was also what Yanqiao Shinichi could say.

"Ishii-san..."

Amaya Masato somewhat wanted to break this delicate atmosphere, and brought up the Ishii brothers and sisters who took the initiative to contact Takuji Sakamoto, but they did not appear in the background together.

Takuji Sakamoto didn't need her to explain, showing a clear expression, "Both Ishii disappeared in the disco crowd."

"Exactly." Yanqiao Shenyi answered.

Several people knew the disposition of the Ishii brothers and sisters very well.

The "teachers" who led the dancers changed shifts, and people began to come and go in and out of the preparation room.The teachers in cool clothes came in sweaty, and sweated out again.

Occasionally, a few girls greeted Sakamoto Takuji and Nagao Tomoaki.

Yanqiao Shinichi noticed that Nagao Tomoaki was quite popular with these girls.

From the looks of it, [-]% of them are from a rich family.

The teachers came and went, and the preparation room smelled of a strange mixture of makeup and sweat.Takuji Sakamoto got up from the chair, "I'm going to pack up my things, let's have a drink together?"

"Nagao-kun, see you later."

Takuji Sakamoto greeted the young man.He nodded, opened his big eyes, and after responding to Takuji Sakamoto, his eyes fell on the music producer surnamed Iwahashi.

He was still reminiscing about what Yanqiao Shinichi said just now, whether it was a sarcasm or a compliment.

It can be interpreted as a sarcasm or as a compliment.Although Nagao Tomoaki didn't think he liked Iwahashi Shinichi just now, but in his heart, he felt that it was the latter.

However, after thinking about it, he didn't have a good impression of Yanqiao Shinichi when he met him for the first time, and he felt that he was too easy-going.

……

As Shinichi Iwahashi expected, Nagao Tomoaki is a rich man.

Sometimes, you can guess some clues by looking at the attitude of the "teachers" towards someone in private.A kid from a rich family who came to work part-time to experience life, he can always play around.

In the small bar, Shinichi Iwahashi sat in the middle, sandwiched between Amaya Mari and Sakamoto Takuji (Hakata Emi) on the left and right.

The arrangement of this seat is a bad taste of Takuji Sakamoto.

He intentionally sat apart from Tiangu Zhenli, and said without shame, "Being seen by the people next to him, maybe he will be secretly jealous of Yanqiao-san's popularity."

Indeed, from an onlooker's point of view, Shinichi Iwahashi was surrounded by two cute girls, and they had a good conversation.

It is Iwahashi Shinichi who wears a headgear and no one loves.

Takuji Sakamoto is the one who is malicious when he wears women's clothing.

Yanqiao Shen responded to his proposal, and could only sigh, "If you really cause trouble because of being jealous, it would be too difficult to describe."

Because two cute girls on the left and one on the right were drinking together, but they were plucked by the drunk in the bar.When the police arrived, it turned out that one of the girls was a female clothing boss.

Just thinking about this development makes people feel dizzy.

But perhaps, this unfolding will make others even more excited.

Takuji Sakamoto teased Shinichi Iwahashi, and Mari Amaya just laughed beside him.There's no way, this kind of wicked joke is not good if it is serious.

So, Yanqiao Shinichi could only hold his nose and suffer this once.

Sakamoto Takuji told Iwahashi Shinichi that Tomoaki Nagao is a wealthy son, and his goal is to enter the fashion circle in Tokyo. Forming a band is purely a hobby.

"However, it's quite arrogant."

Takuji Sakamoto couldn't tell whether he admired Tomoaki Nagao's arrogance or didn't like it.This kind of complicated idea may be the reason why he deliberately mentioned Iwahashi Shinichi as a producer just now.

Yanqiao Shinichi didn't care about it.Whether it's Sakamoto Takuji's teasing, or Nagao Tomoaki's arrogance.

The three drank a few glasses and chatted a little bit.

After Takuji Sakamoto switched careers to become a DJ, not only did he know more about the nightlife in Tokyo that Shinichi Iwahashi and Marisa Amaya did not know—after all, Juliana is now the number one disco in Tokyo. The venue is full, and celebrities from all walks of life are regular customers in the store.Being a DJ in a place like this doesn't lack opportunities to gain insight.

In addition, he has a richer understanding of Tokyo's underground music.

While chatting, Iwahashi Shinichi also heard him mention that the underground music circle in Tokyo, rap music has been a little lively recently.

However, when Takuji Sakamoto mentioned this casually, Shinichi Iwahashi also listened casually, not paying attention.One is that I don’t know much about rap and I’m not interested in it, and the other is that I understand the characteristic of rap music that it’s best not to climb from the ground to the ground.

Japan's music market is mature and developed, and all types of music, regardless of mainstream or not, have their own territory.

While talking, Iwahashi Shinichi's pager rang.He greeted his two companions and got up to find a payphone.After answering the phone, walking back, I happened to run into an acquaintance——

Or the kind of acquaintances you don't want to meet.

"Iwahashi-san? Good evening."

Didn't expect to meet here, Da Ben was taken aback for a moment, came back to his senses, and took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello."

Yanqiao Shinichi never expected to meet Omoto.Ever since he was a front-line agent who was not an agent, he had no chance of encountering Daben.

The unexpected chance encounter was somewhat accompanied by a subtle atmosphere—both parties wanted to finish their greetings quickly and go their separate ways.

So, after saying a few words, Yanqiao Shenyi took his leave and left first.

Daben was a few steps behind, so, not necessarily on purpose, he also watched Iwahashi Shinichi, watched him go back, sat between the two young girls, and had a good chat with them.

Seeing such a scene in his eyes, Da Ben couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Although I have met Yanqiao-san several times, I know that he has two brushes in his work.However, I didn't expect this Yanqiao-san to be quite good at dealing with girls.

Da Ben secretly admired him in his heart.
