Tokyo Sound

"Tsk, forget it." Tsuchiya Hongliang continued to call out the names, "Hehe, where are you sitting again, Wei?"

"Me?" Zhang Wei, who was always calm and composed, said slowly, "I'm in the center right row, number 12."

After these words were spoken, the group members all took a deep breath.

Is Awei so capable?

"None of this is important." Tsuchiya Hiroaki picked up the German sausage and suddenly said, "Some fan groups nowadays love to compete with each other, which is really unhealthy. Some fan clubs also create a relationship of oppression between seniors and juniors, which is also wrong. We all get together because of our hobbies. For the same hobbies, there should be no difference in enthusiasm."

"That's right." Urban Monster responded, "In some fan clubs, the fan leaders are actually the white gloves of the real owners, specifically guiding fans to spend money. They talk about ideology but their hearts are on business."

"Yeah." Tsuchiya Hiroaki nodded approvingly, worthy of being the confidant of the intermittent existence state.

"Our group leader is completely the opposite. He often spends his own money to buy special gifts and selflessly shares them with group members. He also works hard to generate energy for the group by setting up a support station and providing free water for the big brother." Urban Monster Tan said, "Although he used to have a small account, was indecisive, had a strong appearance but a weak courage, and liked to play tricks and small traps, he is still..."

"Ahem." Tsuchiya Hongliang interrupted.

……

After strolling around for half the afternoon, Tsuchiya Hiroaki and his group couldn't wait to head to the venue.

Many people were gathering in waves around Makuhari Messe, and long queues were forming in an orderly manner at the multiple ticket gates.

They are basically all young people, and surprisingly, the gender ratio is almost equal.

The staff in charge of orientation held signs and wore bee loudspeakers to show the audience the way.

The group members separated here, went to check their tickets separately, and then entered the venue separately.

Tsuchiya Hiroaki and Takada Kenryo sat together of course, they looked at each other, and despite the previous intrigues, they tacitly took off their outer clothes, revealing the green peripheral T-shirts underneath, then took out the headscarf with Loge tattooed on it and tied it on their foreheads, and finally held two exclusive color-changing fluorescent sticks, and instantly transformed into Mars' ten-year fans, with faces full of the arrogance of veterans.

The venue was crowded with people, and at a glance, it seemed that the seats were all occupied. Everyone's whispered conversations merged together, forming a lively and noisy atmosphere on the eve of the festival.

The venue is undergoing final adjustments. The big screen on the main stage is in operation, and the director randomly selects audience members to project the screen, which is the first small interaction. There is a group of two girls, one with black hair and the other with a short ponytail, both of whom are cute girls. There is a single young man with a tuft of yellow hair on his head, who is quite cool. There is even a mature uncle, wearing a flashy suit, with a delicate short beard, pinching his chin with one hand, and inadvertently revealing a brand watch. Strange, is this also the audience?

After a short busy period.

The MC began his routine announcement, focusing on paying attention to order, audio-visual etiquette, prohibited matters, and emergency response actions.

When everything was ready, all the lights in the venue were dimmed.

Thousands of people stopped to talk and waved their glow sticks excitedly.

Side M's 2nd Anniversary Live was the first time the entire group performed on stage.

If Hiroaki Tsuchiya's guess is correct, Mars, as a heavyweight group, should be the last to appear.

Sure enough, the first groups to come on stage were from other groups.

But this did not affect the atmosphere of the venue. Everyone came to enjoy the fun and applauded every performance and even the staff.

Especially Tsuchiya Hiroaki, he really showed the value of the pioneer of cute pigs, and he could keep up with the rhythm of any group and give a strong call. The professionalism of this male idol in the full picture book was so good that even the female fans who played games all year round couldn't help but cast a surprised look at this fat otaku.

……

Even standing in the backstage passage, you can hear the audience's thunderous cheers and the booming music.

"Are you a little nervous?" Yin Ze adjusted his in-ear monitor and asked.

"No." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu looked calm.

"Then why are you leaning on me? Come on, you're very heavy." Shimazaki Nobunaga spoke, somewhat aggressively.

"I, I'm just conserving my energy." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said stubbornly.

"Mars, please get ready—" the staff called enthusiastically.

"Okay!" Matsuoka Yoshitsugu responded reliably and calmly.

"You are putting both hands on me now, but just now it was just one hand," Shimazaki Nobunaga reminded.

"Let's go, let's go." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu took a deep breath, suppressed his heartbeat, and expanded his chest several times like a gorilla.

The three of them boarded the elevator as instructed, with the captain in the middle and slightly forward, and two teammates on the flanks.

At this time, the previous group's performance had just ended, and it was the timing for rotation.

"Come on, save your energy, there will be a few more coming later." Kenqi Kyoka said while standing in the distance, raising her head.

Yin Ze made an OK gesture.

The elevator started.

The lights in the venue were off, including the main stage. So when we stood on the stage via the elevator, most of the audience didn't know who the next group would be, except for those who were closer and felt a little restless.

A strong light shone from above and behind, quietly casting the silhouettes of three people.

Even though the face was not clear, there were already waves of sharp screams and cheers, sweeping across the venue. Due to the difference in strength, the male voices even overwhelmed the female voices. It was really a raging passion, rolling like waves and shaking like thunder. It perfectly indirectly showed the intense popularity of the performers on the stage.

Hiroaki Tsuchiya almost stood up. He and Kenryo Takada waved their dual weapons wildly and screamed excitedly.

One third of the process has already been completed?!

A few seconds later, all the main stage lights turned on.

All members of Mars appear in full.

The already intense cheers were raised to a higher level.

In just a few seconds, due to the passion of the audience and the heat of the multiple spotlights on the stage, sweat began to appear on Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's forehead. But he has always been a person who can perform at a high level as long as he gets into the working state and has a script, and at this moment, the tension in his heart has also turned into excitement.

Shimazaki Nobunaga was laughing from the beginning. The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven has a sense of camera and has an idol burden.

Yin Ze was silent for a while. Considering the performance effect, he wanted to wait for everyone to quiet down, but he thought that they would not stop for a while, so he stretched out his index finger, put it in front of his mouth, and made a "hush" gesture.

There was a close-up of him on the big screen.

The captain's hair was carefully shaped. In the previous movies, he deliberately concealed his charm to fit the role, but now it's completely the opposite. The makeup artist backstage gave him the most suitable stage makeup for this occasion. His thick face is deadly, his eyebrows and eyes are like paper cutters, deeply piercing the hearts of people around him. The distance is like the dripping green leaves and the distant top of the iceberg.

Winter lake and snow plum blossoms occupy the same place.

It needs to be cool to appreciate plum blossoms. The colder it is, the more fragrant and elegant they are.

The sequins on the stage costumes flickered under the lights like starlight.

Only when you see it live can you realize what an aggressive face it is.

The audience stopped making noises one after another, but continued waving their glow sticks with all their might.

In renewed silence.

The music started to play with very rhythmic drum beats.

thump.

thump.

thump.

"Let's Go! プロデューサー!"

The lead singer waved his hand casually, waving the glitter on his arm like a circle of stardust.

A sudden high-pitched shout directly ignited the spark machine on the main stage. The discharge part was triggered, and the energy of the capacitor was released instantly, producing strong electric sparks. The lights also instantly turned into silver and white, quickly cutting through the stage. The lead singer followed the drum beats and performed several consecutive dance steps, his movements bursting with hormones!

“Ahhhhh——!!”

The venue was immediately ignited by the prelude and the cheers, and it became boiling instantly!

Especially some female audiences, they almost felt like they were at a Johnny's concert. That shout was completely indicative of the quality of a Johnny's idol, who took control of the stage in an instant, moving with extreme stillness, and bringing the audience to their fullest!

Tsuchiya Hiroaki was very excited. How could he not recognize this song? This was the song that Mars used for their debut PV in the Idol King 2!

The Live adaptation is all pitched up, making it more suitable for live performances and perfect for rocking the place!

Generally speaking, if one hand holds the microphone, one less hand can be used for dance moves, thus reducing the burden on the performer. But Mars had microphones for everyone, and therefore, the captain was able to free both hands and perform such precise and powerful big moves and dance steps!

"Oath of words--memory of fruits!"

"Love is anger, Jun is giving up!"

The singing voice is penetrating, and the rock-style live version is like a raging fire, creating waves of carnival.

The audience was completely engrossed in this superb performance.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Tsuchiya Hiroaki called loudly, almost in tears.

Time is like quicksand! Waiting for this day! Waiting for too long!

Several people sitting at the table were silent.

The starlight dresses you in gorgeous clothes, and the memories are fiery, just like my youth.

Chapter 97: Late Backflip

The whole winter was filled with melting snow, as pure as his eyes under the light of the silver lamp, and the thawed early spring water was like his face.

The northern lights sparkled brightly above our heads, emitting a cool light; the stars swayed in various shapes and danced a solemn dance, but people's hearts were burned hot.

In Japan, where the entertainment industry is extremely mature, idols promoted by various agencies all have squirrel-like eyes and tall, good-looking bodies. A true idol is not only a terminal that materializes an illusory dream, but also has to have a performance and appeal that can capture people's hearts. A mere lifeless industrial painting framed on the wall cannot even pass the test of a trainee.

From the glamorous era of divas and records to the era of average debut and idol wars in troubled times, Sakura girls are well-informed and have experienced a lot of delicacies.

You can’t win applause just by looking good or shouting a few times.

Is a girl’s adolescence such a cheap thing?

Although they are just selling dreams, being an idol is no joke.

Voice actors are essentially behind-the-scenes professionals responsible for dubbing, but with the tide, they have been pushed to the front of the stage and have become multi-talented artists. Their situation is quite awkward because in the eyes of professional singers and actors, the multi-talentedness of voice actors is just playing house. It's because the big pot of their own industry is not enough, so they stick their feet into other people's kitchens and steal some snacks.

Besides, there is no such thing as cross-industry. The consumer target is still the original otaku group. It’s just a new way to make otaku open their wallets again.

Similarly, idol voice actors also look like fake actors in front of mainstream idol artists. Not only do the audience think so, but many voice actors who have just entered the industry also think so... Voice actors are just a stepping stone, and having such a label makes it easier to develop. With the same level, if you go to the Johnny's selection, you will not be found directly, but if you become an idol voice actor, you may stand out.

The difficulty of voice actor industry lies in the fact that there are too many people and too few jobs. Even if you succeed, you may still be unemployed. In terms of the intensity of competition and the cruelty of elimination, the entertainment industry is much more ruthless. If you are scolded by your seniors, the juniors are not allowed to wipe their noses and tears with their hands. In the most strict period of the Takarazuka, which maintains traditions to the point of being pathological, the juniors had to bow to the rumbling train on the platform when they were waiting for the train.

The media image of professional idols often overshadows their own humanity.

The localized and improved two-dimensional idol project sells paper people, who will not cause scandals. If there is any scandal, it will be against the company. Paper people are innocent. Players can push it with confidence.

In this second anniversary live event, the old players more or less had a sense of compensation towards Mars.

Regardless of the fans who came specifically for Mars, ordinary female players of Side M were also willing to offer encouragement and support after hearing about Mars's twists and turns.

But with this song, this wonderful and high-level performance, all the female Prodeuses who are not Mars were completely shocked, including the single fans who never thought it could be so wonderful.

A scene that turns animation into reality.

The subtle facial expressions, eye contact, and body language can all be imitated and interpreted to the extreme, giving people the feeling that he is Haruma Tenjouin, a gifted professional idol that would only be set up in anime.

But the awesomeness of virtual characters can be described in a few words. But what kind of qualifications do living humans need to fully display that kind of beauty? What kind of stage strength is this!

Charm is a force more powerful than force.

At this moment, this force swept across the venue with the music.

"Love is as gray as it overflows, sadness is as sad as it is carved -"

"street は crooked ん だ Labyrinth."

"I've missed you."

"Regains it......!"

The three members of Mars are all good friends who can sleep with each other privately. They can tell what the other person is thinking just by looking at each other. Their cooperation and tacit understanding far exceed that of ordinary colleagues. The overlapping voices of the three are very smooth, and because of their good relationship, they don't care who gets more highlights and who gets less attention. As long as the arrangement requires it, they don't mind being someone's supporting role or paving the way for someone else.

This song has been changed to a rock style with some dark elements, and the players need to maintain a high spirit throughout the song. As the captain, Yin Ze was entrusted with an important task. He led the first half of the song, and there was a unique opening dance. Matsuoka Yoshitsugu and Shimazaki Nobunaga were responsible for the harmony, and they would sing a few parts in the second half.

The captain's performance determines the level of the performance.

Even though it was his first time to be on a large stage with thousands of people, Master Yin was not moved at all. His voice was extremely stable and he firmly controlled the output of the entire song, filling the entire audience with excitement.

Tony, who has participated in Johnny's performances, noticed the captain's wonderful understanding and took drastic measures, directly arranging the movements that a regular idol should have. The so-called regular does not necessarily mean that it must be difficult, but it must achieve group coordination and match the rhythm of the song.

'But the most important thing is aura and strength.'

In the rehearsal room, Teacher Tony stood with his hands behind his back, like a hermit teaching and imparting knowledge, and his voice was ethereal and insubstantial.

'You have to be the eye of the storm, both the storm and the calmest presence in the storm. You are an idol, and the audience's feelings are more important than your skills. Let the audience feel you, which is more important than anything else.'

Master Yin has always respected professionals.
