Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 936
Last Saturday in August.

Starting early in the morning, not only the audience, but also journalists from the media rushed to Wangan Plaza.The helicopter circled over the site to record the scene.

Throughout the year in Tokyo, there is never a shortage of live performances, whether it is a small venue with hundreds or thousands of people, or the Tokyo Dome with a capacity of 5000 people, but no performance has attracted as much attention as this one.

When the TV news sent thousands of households the pictures of how grand the venue of Wangan Plaza was and how the audience gathered here, it also brought the fact that "now is the era of bands" to the general public.

Whether you follow music or not, like a band or don't care about a band, you will receive this signal.

……

Before going out, put on a crisp shirt and trousers, put your long hair in a high ponytail, and pick up a sun hat.The earlier the autumn, the more powerful the sun is when it shines on people.

He insists on exercising all the year round, not only maintains a good figure, but also has a heroic appearance. When wearing a shirt, he looks quite temperamental.But a slightly old-fashioned demeanor, in an occasion like a music festival, is striking.

"I thought it was Mr. Oba."

After several high school students and men and women walking by, they looked back.Immediately afterwards, such a sentence floated into her ears.

When he first debuted, he was still on TV, but after that he could only see real people at concerts.Such a singer may not even be recognized by people of her generation, let alone teenage high school students.

Nakajima Miyuki guessed that the "Oba teacher" should be a single middle-aged woman.Maybe the subject he teaches is Chinese, and outside of school, in his private life, he probably smokes a cigarette or has a drink after work.

Although secretly imagining a person with only a name here, it seems somewhat gossip.However, even Nakajima Miyuki is a gossiper and a person who can think about things.Nothing special.

If someone is so serious that he doesn't even joke, he doesn't have the inspiration and leeway to write songs.

She changed the ticket and entered the music festival venue alone.

Nakajima Miyuki's record company Polly Canon is still assisting GENZO in the live video of the music festival this year, and the company that has a cooperative relationship has received the entertainment tickets sent over there as a matter of course.Before she made plans, the company called her home first and asked her if she was interested in going to the show.

When watching TV news, what you receive from the news is the signal of the arrival of the band era, but if you stand in the venue in person, among the audience, what you experience is the real enthusiasm.

This year's music festival is like a ritual of the alternation of generations.

Three years ago, Miyuki Nakajima watched the videotape of that music festival in the video room of Boli Jiayin.At that time, it was still the world of idols.Miyuki Nakajima, as one of the men in black who have contributed to the prosperity of idols, has a particularly deep understanding of the rise and prosperity of idols.

When the records couldn't be sold at all, Miyuki Nakajima was just a "man in black".

He debuted in the 70s. The symbol of fame was the single "Song of Farewell", which defeated the popular female idol group PINK LADY at that time. Afterwards, while becoming popular as a singer-songwriter, he also contributed music to many idols as a man in black.Such Nakajima Miyuki is not only one of the many heroes of the prosperity of idols, but also a rare singer-songwriter who broke out from the idol era.

She has a good relationship with the band, or in other words, her student days were the earlier wave of band craze.The relationship between the singer-songwriter and the band is no different.

Just two years before NAONのYAON was held, Nakajima Miyuki was in a new round of exploration in her creative career. She cooperated with Shohiro Kai, the soul of the rock band Kai Band, and invited him to be her music producer.

After that, NAONのYAON was held. She saw the video of the music festival in the video room of Polly Jiayin.Of course, the music festival at that time was far inferior to today's one in terms of attention and scale.

However, it did start with the music festival three years ago, when the band Paradise was broadcast, the band craze arrived, various charts began to be occupied by bands, the former ace idols were gradually squeezed out, and the idol era slowly came to an end.

If the music festival started three years ago, then this year's music festival will undoubtedly be a generational change.

The man who drove this generational change.

Rock Bridge Shinichi.

Since the second half of last year, this name has become more and more famous as a music producer. With various deeds, he seems to be No.1 among the new generation of people in black behind the scenes.

However, when thinking of this name, the first thing that popped up in Miyuki Nakajima's mind was the performance video of DREAMS COME TRUE that she saw in the video room of Boli Jiayin.

In the video, the keyboard player of the band has not yet put on the giraffe headgear, he is a young man in a suit and leather shoes.

Later, after knowing his identity, in retrospect, he was wearing a suit on stage at that time because he was still busy as a staff member that day.After work, go on stage to participate in performances.

But such a "coincidence" made Miyuki Nakajima remember the image of performing in a suit for a long time in her heart.Two years later, in the incident of THE BLUE HEARTS, Shinichi Iwahashi appeared on a TV show for the first time, and Miyuki Nakajima matched him with the young man in a suit and leather shoes in his memory.

The atmosphere at the scene was warm, the young people who came calling for friends, the whole family, and the affectionate couples rushed to the stage they were interested in.Of course, there are also spectators who come alone like Miyuki Nakajima.

Wait a minute, there is a band from China playing.The Chinese band sounds very strange, and it is impossible to imagine what kind of performance it will be.Miyuki Nakajima is very interested and wants to see it.

In this year's performance list, there is no DREAMS COME TRUE.

It was to be expected that DREAMS COME TRUE would not participate.Not only because this is the band with the hottest sales right now, but for Miyuki Nakajima, this incident was expected because at the beginning of this year, DREAMS COME TRUE announced the new system of the band. Participate in the live performance of the concert again, and only appear on the large-scale outdoor concert tour every four years.

Every morning, getting up early and preparing breakfast with the sound of the morning news, such Miyuki Nakajima, did not miss hearing this news and it was widely advertised on the TV news.

After this news, the identity of the band's keyboard player who always appeared on stage masked became clearer in her eyes.

Those who are related to DREAMS COME TRUE are naturally clear about the identity under the keyboard cover.However, in a certain place in the entertainment world, right here, she used her way to know his identity just right, no more, no less.

Two sides of the coin.The young man who pushed the band DREAMS COME TRUE to the forefront, and pushed the band craze to the current peak, is now behind the scenes.

In the future, will there be a time when you will stand on stage without wearing a headgear?

The band from China that appeared after that was called "Breathing".

Miyuki Nakajima waited to meet their performance.Three years ago, when the music festival was held for the first time, a band was invited from China to perform.Although she hadn't watched the scene of the last music festival, Miyuki Nakajima chose the bands she was interested in in the video room and watched them one by one.

It also includes the jerky performance that time, maybe the Chinese band that was put together improvised.

But in that jerky, there is also the bravery and fearlessness of a newborn calf, as well as a love for music.Miyuki Nakajima remembered the jerkyness, so she couldn't help wondering, what kind of rock and roll fruit would grow on that land?
The band called "Breath", it's their turn to appear.

The lead singer is a neat woman, and she is accompanied by skilled male musicians.When the performance started, Nakajima Miyuki's first feeling was that the "jerky" was gone.

In this band's performance, there is not the slightest sense of jerky.But still brave and fearless, but that bravery is not a newborn calf, but seems to exist in the band, and it is one with them.

Although I don't understand what the lyrics are singing, the female lead singer's high-pitched voice, excellent singing, and tacit cooperation among the members are still a breeze, allowing Miyuki Nakajima to immerse herself in their music world.Compared with three years ago, the band that appeared on the stage was undoubtedly a professional and high-level band.

Miyuki Nakajima couldn't help thanking in her heart for this music festival that gathered musicians from all directions.

……

On this day, Nakajima Miyuki, as an audience, enjoyed a very high-level performance.The bands that appeared included mainstream debuts, some were still active as underground bands, some were local and some were foreign, but their standards were unquestionable.

Being able to gather so many outstanding musicians just reflects how prosperous the current band craze is.At the same time, with such a huge reserve army, there is no need to worry about continuing this upsurge for a longer period of time.

During the period, Miyuki Nakajima, a big star, was not unrecognized.

However, she is also good, and tentatively asked the audience, "Excuse me, is this Miyuki Nakajima?" Both sides were very conscious that the real protagonist was not here.

Being recognized, she smiled politely, shook hands with the other party lightly, and said goodbye tacitly.

In the evening, Nakajima Miyuki left the venue with the satisfaction of having a full meal of music and food today.While waiting for the traffic light, she turned her head to look at the sidewalk.

Throughout the year and at every moment, you can see office workers in suits and leather shoes.Whether it is a working day or a rest day, whether it is early morning or evening.

At this time, she remembered the song that she had put away and hadn't published yet.

"Boiling anger, boiling desire."

"Hold it in your arms, roll up your sleeves and wrap it in your arms."

The rock under the suit is not for others, but for yourself.

In this year's music festival, I couldn't see the performance of DREAMS COME TRUE, and I don't know if I can see Shinichi Iwahashi's performance without a helmet in the future.However, this made Nakajima Miyuki understand why the young people in suits and leather shoes on the stage could perform so wonderfully that year.

He is indeed wearing invisible shackles, bound by suits and various identities.It is precisely because of being restrained, but never willing to be restrained like this, that is why there is such a wonderful performance.

Therefore, there was the rise of the band craze later, and the giraffe man who appeared on the stage wearing a hood.

Miyuki Nakajima felt that the reason why Shinichi Iwahashi saw and thought of rock and then wrote such a song was not just because he was wearing a suit that day.

But it is also true that no one can wear a suit so well as this young man.

This song should have been released.

Nakajima Miyuki thought that this song should be released as a single, included in the album, and sang at the concert.

When Iwahashi Shinichi didn't know it, I dedicated this song to him.Dedicate a cheering song to people like him when he doesn't know it.

That is to dedicate it to Iwahashi Shinichi.Also give it to everyone.Whether wearing a suit or holding a baby's bottle.

Dedicate this song to everyone.

……

Joan Jett, the jewel in the crown, strung together the people of the previous festival and this one, with her performance at prime time the following day.Shinichi Iwahashi agreed with Akina Nakamori to go see the next day.

This Akina Nakamori has extraordinary enthusiasm for watching Joan Jeter's performance.When Yanqiao Shenyi heard her say "The first time I met you was at Joan Jetsang's concert", he couldn't help laughing at her little thoughtfulness.

However, laughing is laughing, since he promised her to watch it together, he should be the one who should be laughed together.Maybe, when he agreed, Nakamori Akina also laughed at him secretly... just treat it like this.

The two of them were going to the music festival, so they didn't report it to her manager, saving her old manager from worrying and sweating.

To put it bluntly, public money dating is good, but freedom is better.

When staying overnight in a hotel in Yokohama, the two of them discussed which day to visit and decided what to wear that day.

This Nakamori Akina is high above the others, and decides for Shinichi Iwahashi what jacket to wear and what watch to wear.Arrange two sentences for Yanqiao Shenyi, and then follow up with a sentence on how I will dress up then, and after talking about myself, I have to ask him again, "How is it?"

Yanqiao Shenyi lives under others, everything is easy to discuss, let her plan, let her arrange, just wait for the time to do it.

As for how Akina Nakamori wanted to wear, he had no opinion to raise, and everything was up to her.However, when arranging him, this Akina Nakamori sounded like she was right, but it really happened to her, so she insisted on listening to Shinichi Iwahashi's opinion.

It seems that for her, mutually deciding what to wear on a date is quite a pleasure.

Yanqiao Shinichi thought for a while, then shook his head, "Whatever you wear will suit you well."

He told the truth, anyway, every time he met her, she was dressed beautifully.Not to mention when I saw her on TV.

After being praised, Nakamori Akina beamed, like a child who couldn't eat enough sugar, every time he got one from him, he happily put it in his mouth, letting the sweetness melt on the tip of his tongue.

But this is not enough.She was still a little unwilling to give up, and pestered him to act like a baby, "Shen Yi, you should think about it too."

In the end, Yanqiao Shinichi said to her, "Just wear the ring I gave you and go together, and that will be fine."
