Chapter 205 A fleeting thought
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Zhao returned to the backstage of the concert hall on time.
Watanabe Riku and Asakura Naoko declined the invitation to go to the backstage together, but chose to rest in a cafe near the venue and wait for the opening of the concert.
At 5:45, after the concert started, Kawamoto Makoto and Aikawa Nanase came to the backstage to greet him.
"It's obviously during the promotional period, but I still have to come here to watch the performance. Thank you for your hard work." Ye Zhao said to Aikawa Nanase with affectionate attitude. Aikawa Nanase's debut single was officially released on November 8th, and it's time to promote her new song, which is the time to be busy.
"It's so frightening to say that. I would like to thank Ye Zhaosan for specially leaving a ticket." Aikawa Nanase and Ye Zhao had the same teacher in the same year, but because of their relationship with their seniors, they still maintained a very reserved and polite attitude.
The three of them chatted for a while. At around 6:00, Kawamoto Makoto and Aikawa Nanase stood up to say goodbye. Ye Zhao sent the two outside the lounge door and politely invited Aikawa Nanase, "When I return to Tokyo, if I have time, do I want to go to my radio? Miss Kawamoto has also been there during the publicity period before."
"Really?" Aikawa Nanase subconsciously confirmed. From this point of view, I could feel that she was a very straightforward girl.
"I think this should not be a social rhetoric." Ye Zhao said with a smile.
After receiving such a reply, Aikawa Nanase agreed readily: "I have absolutely no problem in myself." Of course, if Ye Zhao really proposed it, her firm and record company should be fine. For newcomers, every opportunity to promote is necessary.
...
At 6:30, when the opening of the SUNPLAZA which was exactly the same as that of Nakano SUNPLAZA, Ye Zhao stepped onto the stage with the cheers of the audience, and started the second concert of the Osaka concert with "Rainbow".
The process of Osaka Field and Nakano Field are roughly the same, but the LIVE TALK is of course different. As a singer, when you are planning to think about the lines you need to use in advance during the tour, the best content of the lines can also be related to the city where the concert is located, which are all necessary homework.
So, at today's concert, Ye Zhao put his experience in Osaka into LIVE TALK, "...So, in the drizzle, he walked around the streets of Osaka for a long time." After saying that, he added with a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, I said such a boring thing."
Anyway, he is not a comedian, and the main content of the concert is singing. LIVE TALK is just a thing that regulates the atmosphere. Even if it is not funny or even a little boring, it doesn't matter. The Osaka audience in the audience applauded and cheered for him, and occasionally heard a few encouraging voices of "It's not that!" and "It's so fucking!"
Ye Zhao said "Thank you" and turned the topic back to the concert, "Then the song I'm going to sing next. I was lucky enough to provide songs for my senior WANDS Sang. I'll take it back and sing it a little this time. Is it OK?"
Of course, the audience would not be "no". So, the drummer counted the beats and Ye Zhao sang the song "Go Wandering" for the first time. Although the concerts were only held in Tokyo and Osaka, in order to distinguish them, there were still two or three songs that changed depending on the number of scenes.
Because Ye Zhao has not published many original songs so far, it is a bit difficult to adjust the songs more freely, so he had to take back the songs provided to others and sing them. Fortunately, they are all seniors in the same company, so it is still easy to cover them.
Ye Zhao's voice is completely different from Uesugi Tsuke. With his interpretation, this song "Go Wandering" has become a completely different style. As for which version is better, it depends on your opinion.
In addition to taking "Go Wandering" back and singing, Ye Zhao also covered an additional song.
At the end of the first half of the concert, Ye Zhao put down his guitar, took off the microphone from the vertical microphone stand, and said to the stage: "When the release of "WINTER, AGAIN", he included a C/W that sampled a certain song... During that very difficult time, (that song) gave me great encouragement. So when the concert was being prepared, I sought the consent of Oda Sang and Miss Sakai, hoping to allow me to be allowed to be in today's concert..."
Speaking of this, the audience who realized which song to sing next gave a cheer as warm as that at the opening. The cheers represent not only the nationality of the song to sing next, but also the support and encouragement of Ye Zhao who came out smoothly from that negative day.
So, in the cheers of the super loud voice, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Please listen to "Don't admit defeat."
This song "Don't Give Up" was sung once in the first show yesterday, and the audience's reaction was almost exactly the same as today. This is probably the case with the so-called national music. No matter who is of age or level, when the melody of this song sounds, they can't help but sing along.
For the audience present, what Ye Zhao said, "give him great encouragement" must be the meaning of being inspired by hearing this song, but only Ye Zhao knows the real meaning behind that sentence.
Although a year has passed, he still remembers, and will always remember, the man who reached out to him when he fell to the trough and encouraged him in a subtle and gentle manner.
While singing this song, the seaside road in the evening, the lighthouse of Enoshima, the tram slowly passing by Kamakura High School Ekimae Station, and the Sakai Insumi waving to him... those scenes that seemed to have become very distant revived again at this moment.
And while those memories were reviving, a spider-silk-like thought quietly appeared. Before he could figure out what it was, it quickly disappeared. Ye Zhao, who was focusing on singing, had no time to think about what that thought actually represented, so he buried it quietly in his heart.
After the song ended, Ye Zhao lowered his head and said "Thank you" to the audience. The thank you said to the audience who just supported him, and even to the Hokkiensu Sakai who is now elsewhere.
At the same time, the stage lights dimmed, and Ye Zhao quickly retreated to the backstage before he could close his mood. When the lights light up again, it was the BAND SHOW session of the midfield.
...
After the BAND SHOW ended, Ye Zhao returned to the stage with the cheers of the audience, touching his ears while interacting with the audience, "What do you think of the concert so far?"
The "Shi Gao!" resounded in the venue without hesitation.
"At the time when I was in Nakano, I have disclosed a new song that has not been released before. But I think since I have disclosed it in Nakano in advance, it would be boring to sing it again. So, in this session in Osaka, I have specially prepared a new song that has not been released-"
“Oh oh oh——”
"Because I'm in Osaka, I want to add some Kansai elements, think about it like this, and then prepare such a song..." Ye Zhao smiled, "Please listen to "Osaka LOVER" next."
