Tokyo bubble life

Naoki Nagayama woke up when the first ray of sunlight in the morning hit the bedroom~

Although she did a lot of shopping yesterday, her young body naturally recovered very early. Even Akina, as a girl, will feel refreshed after a good sleep.

"Akina, wake up!"

Nagayama Naoki patted his girlfriend next to him until she also opened her eyes, then took out a small cake from the refrigerator, lit a candle,

"Happy birthday!"

"Eh? When?!" Akina Nakamori suddenly woke up, "I didn't even see Naoki-san buying a cake!"

"Of course I prepared it secretly!"

Nagayama Naoki smiled, living in the presidential suite of a high-end hotel will naturally have various conveniences.

How does it feel to blow out birthday candles as soon as you wake up? This is the joy of being pampered to heaven~

Akina closed her eyes and made a wish, then happily blew out the candles, and then served a small strawberry cake, which was just enough for two people's breakfast.

"Naoki-san, when are you going to the concert?"

With her boyfriend by her side, Akina doesn't have to worry about her schedule at all, she just needs to follow along.

"The official start time in the UK is noon, and it's two hours later in Philadelphia. However, due to the time difference, it starts at around 9 o'clock, so we have to go there early."

As the concert time progressed, more crowded people began to appear in the streets and alleys of Philadelphia, which is not a big city. The Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia where the concert was held was even more crowded~

If you arrive late, it will be troublesome to enter the venue by then.

After everything was cleaned up, Naoki Nagayama took Akina Nakamori into a taxi and rushed towards the stadium.

It's mid-July, and the morning sun is already very strong. However, the huge Kennedy Stadium is already overcrowded. The grass in the middle is full of people rubbing shoulders, making it very difficult to walk in.

In a noisy environment, Nagayama Naoki held Akina's hand and arrived at the VIP seat smoothly.

It is located on the second floor of the stadium, not far from the main stage. You can clearly see the people on the stage, but you don't have to stand on the venue like the audience in front of the main stage. There are several broadcast screens standing there~

"Naoki-san, there are so many people!"

Akina Nakamori was lying on the railing of the second-floor stands, looking at the packed stadium with great shock.

"It is said that there are 90,000 people!"

Nagayama Naoki said, so many people do look like a vast ocean. If there are thousands of people, they are already like matches. After tens of thousands, it becomes even more densely packed, which makes people almost have trypophobia!

"90,000 people"

"Maybe there will be so many people at Akina's concerts in the future!" Nagayama Naoki smiled.

"How is that possible!"

Even though she has performed in many concerts, Nakamori Akina never thought that she would perform in front of so many people. She was so nervous that she was shaking all over when she went on stage!

At most. At most, I just thought about holding a concert at Neon’s Martial Arts Hall~

It was already late when Naoki Nagayama arrived, so after a period of noise, as the host came on stage, the conversation about this charity concert connecting London, UK and Philadelphia, USA officially started!

"Now, it's LIVE AID time!"

The first to appear was Joan Baez, the queen of American folk songs. She sang the classic hymn "Amazing Grace" and the concert theme song "We Are The World".

The warm music announced the start of the LIVE AID theme and charity performance.

Next, the noisy and exciting music began to play, and the whole stadium was filled with a strong rhythm. Only then did people realize again that this was a rock and roll event!

“Oh oh oh~~” “omygod!” “That’s XXXX”

The singers on the stage were roaring, the audience in the audience were cheering, flying flags were swaying in their hands, and cups filled with drinks were spilling liquid from time to time. Everyone was immersed in the outstanding performance brought by the rock masters.

On such a hot day, Philadelphia Stadium was absolutely buzzing from the start.

"

I-I will be king (I will be crowned king)

And you-you will be queen (you are my queen~)

Though nothing will drive them away (although there is no way to avoid it~)

We can be heroes-just for one day (We can be heroes, just for one day of immortality~)

"

David Bowie sang and danced happily with "Heroes" which brought down the "Berlin Wall"~

"

And wouldn't it be nice to live together if we could live together, that would be great

In the kind of world where we belong

You know its gonna make it that much better

"

The Beach Boys sang "wouldn't it be nice", bringing people into a sweet love~

There is also the return of heavy metal veterans and the dedication of rock masters.

Even people who don't understand music are completely immersed in the shock brought by rock music at this time.

The hot temperature did not hinder the enthusiasm of the singers and fans at all. Under the high temperature of 35 degrees, the entire Kennedy Stadium was still extremely excited. Many fans even took off their shirts, but from time to time, fans who fainted were carried out of the stadium by security personnel.

Organizers had to use high-pressure water cannons to spray the sky above to help fans cool down.

At this moment in Tokyo, it is midnight.

Even though the neon TV station broadcast it, many viewers sang and danced along with the screen at home, but it was night after all, and they just had some fun in a few bars.

Itou Shuichi and Yoshimura Otomo were in a club at night and turned on the TV out of curiosity~

"Naoki-san and Akina-chan, are you here now?" Yoshimura Otomo looked at the picture on the TV and asked curiously, "So many people?!"

The ticket he bought himself has been given to a friend, and then maybe to someone else. Otomo Yoshimura actually doesn't like rock music very much. After all, he is an older person, and singing is more suitable for him.

"This charity concert is quite impressive!"

Itou Shuichi, who was drinking beer, said that he really wanted to join in the fun, but he couldn't let go of the work at hand.

"It is said that almost all the famous figures in the rock industry have gone!"

"Oh? Is there a neon singer?"

“It doesn’t seem like there is”

The neon music of this era has not yet become world-famous. It is only famous in Asia, and even J-pop is only a prototype.

It was not until the bubble period, when Neon's economic strength reached its peak, that pure music and electronic music began to gain momentum, and then to the distinctive city pop and later ACG culture, that Neon music became famous in the world.

Fangcun Dayou stopped talking when he heard this. After all, this seemingly very influential event did not involve Neon. It always felt like he was lacking in national self-confidence.

Itou Shuichi stared at the screen carefully:

"There are too many people. The two venues are probably close to 100,000 people, right?"

"Shuichi-san, do you think a concert in Tokyo can reach this scale?" Yoshimura Otomo suddenly became curious.

"Impossible!" Itou Shuichi immediately shook his head, "Even if we want to hold it, we currently don't have such a big venue."

Even the martial arts hall can only accommodate more than 10,000 people~

"Unless it's the Tokyo Olympics Main Stadium," Yoshimura Otomo thought of the Olympic Games that were held in the past, "but probably not that many people will go to see it."

In this era, there are very few super singers who can attract so many people. It would be great to be able to hold a concert with tens of thousands of people~

If one person alone can attract more than 100,000 people, perhaps only Michael Jackson can do it.

After the two chatted about the concert for a while, Itou Shuichi continued:

"Did Naoki-san come back after the concert?"

"Didn't you say you want to go to New York? It's about investment~" Otomo Yoshimura answered, "This guy, once he goes abroad, he will play for most of the month no matter what!"

"Hahaha, that's right!"

Itou Shuichi laughed.

The noisy concert was still being broadcast on the TV screen. Unfortunately, the two people watching had little knowledge of rock music and could only speak a few simple words in English.

To them, the singers on the stage probably sang from heaven. They couldn't understand anything.

With a click, Yoshimura Otomo decisively turned off the power of the TV and said to Itou Shuichi:

"Shuichi-san, call Mama-san over and ask her to arrange some more ladies. Let's have a drink today! Relax!"

Itou Shuichi also laughed heartily:

"Okay, I have been filming movies in Ota District these days. The weather is hot but I am exhausted!"

"Haha, let's drink some ice wine then!"

In this way, two greasy old men immediately abandoned rock music and threw themselves into the charming music of the young lady.

Time flies when you are immersed in a concert, especially in such a big scene.

"

Don't you forget about me

Don't don't don't don't

Don't you forget about me

"

Akina Nakamori sang the chorus of Don't You (Forget About Me) along with Simple Minds on the stage. Her head shook up and down according to the music nodes, and her whole body swayed to the music.

People around him were also echoing the lead singer’s voice, as if he was about to talk to a loved one~

The lyrics of this song are simple and it should be a song Akina has heard!

At the last moment, Akina suddenly turned around, took Nagayama Naoki's arm and swayed with the music, and sang happily:

"~~Don't you forget about me~~"

"~When you walk on by~"

"Will you all my name?"

She was still thinking about singing with Naoki Nagayama, not being shy in front of everyone in private

It seemed that her girlfriend had completely integrated into the atmosphere of the entire venue~

"Naoki-san, what time is it now?"

After the song ended, Akina Nakamori sat down, wiping the sweat from her forehead roughly, and drinking cola with ice cubes~

"It's almost three o'clock~" Naoki Nagayama looked at the Rolex on his wrist and said.

"Has it been four or five hours?" Akina Nakamori said in surprise, "We have been in the concert for so long?!"

"Yes, with such a high atmosphere, time flies."

Naoki Nagayama looked at the vendor walking through the aisle: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Akina Nakamori touched her stomach. Even though the weather was hot, she had been in the concert for so long, so the cake she had eaten in the morning had naturally been digested.

"What to eat?" Akina Nakamori looked over.

Naoki Nagayama waved to the vendor to come over. There were only simple hot dog buns and some chocolates in the small box. After paying the bill, the two of them rested while listening to the cheering atmosphere in the venue.

"When will this concert end?"

"Probably until midnight~" Naoki Nagayama said, "16 hours!"

"So long" Nakamori Akina looked at the people in the stadium and asked subconsciously, "Will these fans watch until the end?"

"It's hard to say"

Naoki Nagayama also looked around. The fans around him were also a little tired, but they still seemed very excited in the atmosphere of the entire venue.

However, it is impossible to be excited for more than ten hours, even the best military stimulants are impossible!

"Akina. Let's get ready to leave in the evening!"

Leaving early is naturally allowed. Princess Diana and Prince Charles in the British venue only stayed for a while longer at the opening, and then left~

In fact, many people are just fans of a few singers. They came to attend this concert for a few singers, and some people have already left.

"Okay!" Akina Nakamori ate bread and looked at Naoki Nagayama, "Naoki-san, are you waiting for Madonna's performance?"

"Yes. Madonna in the evening."

In fact, Naoki Nagayama had no intention of going up to her, but until later generations, Madonna's fame was also very big, and he didn't want to miss this concert.

"Naoki-san," Akina Nakamori came over and said with a smile, "Are you close to Madonna?"

"We only met once, and I was friends with her ex-boyfriend~"

Naoki Nagayama didn't know many people in the United States, and he had met Madonna once. But they haven't been in touch for several years, and Madonna should have forgotten the Asian she only met once.

But her ex-boyfriend, Basquiat, occasionally sent a letter and drew a graffiti~

"Haha, ex-boyfriend." Akina Nakamori laughed again.

Yes, ex-boyfriend

Madonna's music career is developing smoothly, becoming more and more famous, and her work is getting busier and busier. Although Basquiat is also a well-known graffiti artist, the gap between the two is obvious.

Generally speaking, for lovers who start from scratch, if the man's career is getting better and better, the relationship is more likely to last longer. On the contrary, if the woman's career is getting better and better, the relationship is likely to fail.

So, Madonna and Basquiat broke up a long time ago~

"So Naoki-san, when you go to New York later, will you meet your ex-boyfriend?"

"It depends on the time. Maybe it won't meet your schedule." Naoki Naoyama shrugged~

Time passed slowly, and soon it was time for the sky to be filled with scorching clouds.

At this time, Madonna finally stepped onto the stage.

The 27-year-old Madonna, with infinite youth, swung her red hair, and was full of vitality on the stage. She had just experienced the indecent photo incident, and she said a rebellious line in the 35-degree weather:

"No matter what, I won't take off any clothes today!"

"

It's time for the good times (enjoy the good times)

Forget about the bad times, forget the troubles of life)

oh yeah

"

Then holding the red hand bell, Madonna swayed on the stage with radiant vitality, turning this concert into her own special show.

Akina Nakamori looked at the music queen on the stage, and her eyes were also shining with longing.

In her own concert, it seems that she can also have more such vitality on the stage

More casual performance, less step-by-step dance moves

In Akina Nakamori's previous performances, most of them were dancing while singing, and dancing and singing were equally important.

However, perhaps due to the previous stereotype, this form is still more like an idol's performance style~

Real pop kings and queens do rehearse their performances, but they don't always follow the rules. Appropriate free play will create an incredible chemical reaction between the stage and the audience, bringing the concert to a higher level.

That kind of casual arrangement and the ability to control the stage at will may be the direction that Akina should work on in the future.

After it had darkened, an impressive piano sound suddenly came from the big screen at Philadelphia's Kennedy Stadium.

"mamajust killed a man~"

Naoki Nagayama stood up excitedly again, "Bohemian Rhapsody". It's time for Queen!

In fact, at the beginning, Naoki Nagayama wanted to go to a venue in London, England. After all, Queen’s most brilliant performances were there.

He knew about this live aid concert in his previous life, and also saw Queen's performance from various video websites.

However, after comprehensive consideration, I decided to come to Philadelphia in the United States. After all, I would know more about American celebrities, and there were still things to do afterwards. It would be too tiring to take a flight for more than ten hours.

“Queen!!”

Nagayama Naoki's excitement also made Nakamori Akina curious, and they began to watch the performance on the big screen together.

Wearing white trousers and a white T-shirt, lead singer Freddie Mercury looked like some kind of gangster, but his appearance immediately changed when he sat in front of the piano.

While playing the piano and singing "Bohemian Rhapsody", his emotional voice made the audience sing along with him~

“mamajust killed a man”

"Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry"

"."

During the whole chorus, it seemed as if everyone had shot someone and was immersed in the regret of committing a crime.

The song ends.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang"

Two stomps, one clap. A familiar and shocking rhythm sounded.

"

We will, we will rock you

We will, we will rock you

"

During "We Will Rock You", countless fans stamped their feet, clapped their hands, and rocked the whole world with Queen on the stage. The resonance caused even caused the steps on the second floor of the stadium to shake significantly. , but no one was worried.

Next, the familiar "we are the champions" is a chorus that is very suitable for fans.

"

We are the champions my friends

And we'll keep on fighting till the end

No time for losers

Cause we are the champions

"

The atmosphere of the entire stadium was stirred up again!

There is one more chapter that will be postponed. It took too long to check this concert today. Simply distinguishing the songs and singers from the American concert and the British concert makes my head hurt.
