Toumori Sanae couldn't help but blink and turned around. The band had already started performing on the makeshift stage.
That's right, the one who came here to perform was - Sweet Bullet. Yushan and Ren had watched a performance of Sweet Bullet together with Tsuchima before, so they were a little stunned.
"Let's find a place and hide first." Rikka Takanashi said in a low voice.
Toumori Sanae nodded, agreeing with Rikka Takanashi's suggestion. The two of them looked at the viewing area and walked over.
Yushan and a few others also followed him to the viewing area, but Nana Ebina's steps seemed a little heavy.
Although Sweet Bullet's popularity is only average, this is the central area of Ikebukuro after all, and as long as the performance is not too bad, it can attract hundreds of spectators.
The biggest advantage of Sweet Bullet lies in its business capabilities. Less than twenty minutes into the performance, it had already attracted nearly three hundred spectators.
Looking at the huge crowd in front of her, Nana Ebina suddenly felt like she was back at the opening ceremony of a school.
During the opening ceremony, Nana Ebina was so nervous that she didn't raise her head for a long time. She didn't hear a single word of what was being said on the stage.
Fortunately, Nana Ebina was not the kind of student who needed to go on stage to receive awards or make speeches, so she was able to get away with it.
The auditorium today is even more crowded than the school auditorium back then.
Just walking among the crowd, Nana Ebina's body began to tremble.
Fortunately, most people were watching the performance attentively and few people noticed Nana Ebina, which made her feel a little relieved. However, her legs were still a little weak, and just hearing the cheers from the side made her feel dizzy.
After walking to a slightly more empty fan area, Yushan Kazuto turned around and looked at Ebina Nana: "How are you, are you okay?"
"It's...it's okay." Ebina Nana lowered her head and spoke nervously.
Yushan Heren couldn't help but smile: "I can see that normally you wouldn't even be able to speak in such a dense crowd."
Nana Ebina blushed suddenly and could only nod slightly.
"Come a little closer and stand in the middle, so I can help you block it a little."
Nana Ebina couldn't help but blink her eyes slightly, lowered her head, and walked past Hayama Kazuto.
Standing on the other side of Yushanheren.
"Please be patient for a moment, Sister Touka will be here soon." Yushan Kazuto said.
Ebina Nana blinked and responded in a very low voice. She glanced at Yushan Kazuto from the corner of her eye and felt a little relieved.
Yushan Kazuto was looking around, trying to find Sakurajima Mai.
However, after thinking of Sakurajima Mai's unstable presence, Yushan Kazuto finally gave up this plan.
Chapter 1653 Fan Interaction
On the stage, Uzuki Hirokawa, who was leading the dance, was dancing hard.
Although sometimes, Utsuki Hirokawa looks a little naive, but we have to admit that Utsuki Hirokawa's business ability is indeed very strong, and she is in a class of her own among Sweet Bullets.
Even Toyohama Waka, who has been practicing since childhood and aims to be like Sakurajima Mai, and Okazaki Hotaru, who was a child star, are still a certain distance away from Hirokawa Uzuki in some aspects of their abilities.
As for the other members, to put it nicely, each of them has their own characteristics; to put it bluntly, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that they are uneven.
It can be said that Hirokawa Uzuki single-handedly played to her strengths and avoided her weaknesses, putting the entire sweet bullet together.
Of course, the efforts of other members cannot be ignored, but the coordinating and lubricating role played by Hirokawa Uzuki is the most decisive.
In the crowd, Mai Sakurajima was wearing a pair of black sunglasses and quietly watching the performance of Sweet Bullet.
Originally, Mai Sakurajima didn't know about Sweet Bullet's performance plans this week. After all, Sweet Bullet did not promote the group on social platforms. Even the posters nearby did not have the group name written on them. Instead, silhouettes were used to add a sense of mystery.
It was just because Yushan Kazuto canceled his training this afternoon and there were no other activities today, so Sakurajima Mai felt a little bored and came to Ikebukuro for a walk.
While shopping, they accidentally discovered an underground idol group performing. Mai Sakurajima had nothing to do, so she walked in.
Unexpectedly, the mysterious group that came to perform this time was the Sweet Bullet that Fengbin and Hua belonged to.
It has actually been a while since the last time Mai Sakurajima watched Sweet Bullet's performance. After all, Mai Sakurajima has been quite busy during this period.
From a professional perspective, Sweet Bullet has made considerable progress, but if we consider the time span, Mai Sakurajima feels that Sweet Bullet's progress is still a little slow.
Japanese idols have long entered the "industrialized" age, and through assembly-line-like screening, training, and auditions, qualified idols are ultimately produced.
Generally speaking, the production cycle of an idol will not exceed two years. Some quick-form idol agencies can even bring an idol group to the market in less than six months.
In this age of idol industrialization, without professional development and training, relying solely on one's own efforts, the speed of progress will naturally be difficult to match.
Because of this, the development of underground idols is becoming increasingly difficult. Unless they receive special support, most underground idol groups have to work part-time to support themselves in addition to their idol work.
Of course, this is not a big deal for Sweet Bullet. After all, most of the group members are students. Besides working as idols, they just need to stick to their studies.
However, due to the pressure of balancing studies, the training of Sweet Bullet has become more difficult.
Sometimes, the Sweet Bullets cannot even gather together and can only train through online meetings.
As a national idol, Mai Sakurajima usually comes into contact with idol groups that are mostly industrially trained.
Compared with them, the gap of Sweet Bullet is quite obvious, especially in performance, it always feels a little restrained and constrained.
But in fact, it is true that Sweet Bullet's progress is slower than that of Industrial Idol, but the gap is not that big.
Today's situation is rather special. This is the first time that Sweet Bullet has the opportunity to perform in such a commercial center. The number of audiences that came to watch is also somewhat beyond Sweet Bullet's expectations.
Hundreds of people stood on the stage, watching the performance of a few people. They had never seen such a grand occasion, so it was normal for them to feel a little uncomfortable during the performance.
Another reason was that Sweet Bullet didn't see any familiar faces among the audience.
As a small underground idol group, Sweet Bullet has done a good job in maintaining fans.
Basically, fans who have come a few times or asked for autographs have been remembered by the members of Sweet Idol.
But now, among the hundreds of spectators, there was not a single familiar face, which made the members of Sweet Bullet feel a little frustrated.
Although Sweet Bullet had not carried out any publicity before in order to cooperate with the event organizer, this also indirectly shows that the number of its fans is really too low.
You know, Sweet Bullet has performed in Ikebukuro before, and they should have a small number of fans in the Ikebukuro area.
However, not a single familiar face came to today's performance, which made the members of Sweet Bullet who they wanted to interact with not know who to choose.
Among the crowd, a figure suddenly caught Hirokawa Uzuki's attention.
Although he had only met him once in the audience, the staff mentioned him specifically afterwards, so Hirokawa Uzuki had some impression of him and even followed him on Twitter.
Judging from the other party’s Twitter information, he has never operated Twitter and usually only reposts cartoons drawn by an acquaintance.
However, both the absolute number of fans and the speed of fan growth far surpassed the Sweet Bullet official account that she had carefully operated, which made Hirokawa Uzuki feel a little frustrated.
Ever since that time, Hirokawa Uzuki has paid special attention to the audience, wanting to see if the other party would come again.
However, I didn’t see him in several performances afterwards, but I didn’t expect that he would show up on the scene at today’s performance.
After a little thought, Hirokawa Uzuki selected the people to interact with.
Even if the other party is not
A loyal fan, but at least he has some impression of me. In such a tense situation, it is already very good to be able to find an audience member who has an impression of me.
"Next, I would like to invite an audience member to come up on stage and play a little game with us. Who is this audience member?"
Many audience members cheered and raised their hands. Although they were not fans of Sweet Bullet, most of those who came to watch the show were veteran idol fans.
Why not have the opportunity to get close to your idol, even if he or she is not the one you have always supported?
"Today's lucky color is blue, and the lucky number is 7. The boy in the blue T-shirt in the seventh row over there is you!"
Hirokawa Uzuki suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of Yushan Kazuto, which made Yushan Kazuto blink slightly: "Me, me?"
Tsuchima Mei on the side couldn't help but glare at Hayama Kazuto. Touma Sanae and Takanashi Rikka's expressions were not very good either. Among so many people, Hayama Kazuto was chosen. It was hard not to suspect that there was something fishy going on.
Chapter 1654: Seeing Through Fire
After thinking for a few seconds, Yushan Kazuto decided to go on stage.
Although he came here to watch the performance on a whim, it would be too disrespectful to directly reject Hirokawa Uzuki's invitation.
The other party is still performing on the stage. It would be too embarrassing if I refused directly.
After looking at the people next to him, Yushan Kazuto walked towards the stage.
As soon as he walked onto the stage, several people recognized him.
"He is that...Hayama Kazuto?"
"Son of the Wind?"
"The man known as the Demon Lord?"
There was a burst of discussion on the stage.
Even if you are not someone who pays attention to football and shogi, you have probably heard of Kazuto Hayama.
Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly. He didn't expect that he would be recognized by so many people.
"It seems that this audience member that Uzuki randomly invited is also an idol!"
Yushan Heren blinked slightly. He didn't mind being recognized by others. After all, during football matches, he had performed a solo show in front of tens of thousands of people.
However, after listening to Hirokawa Uzuki's jokes, Yushan Kazuto still felt a little embarrassed. After all, there were many of his acquaintances standing in the audience!
Seeing Yushan Kazuto walk onto the stage, Sakurajima Mai, who was hiding in the audience, couldn't help but blink slightly.
She didn't expect that Yushan Heren would appear here today, and she couldn't help but frowned.
After thinking about it, Sakurajima Mai took out her cell phone and took a photo of Hayama Kazuto on the stage. Then she put her phone away and silently watched the interaction between Hayama Kazuto and Hirokawa Uzuki.
"Hello, Mr. Kazuto Uyama." Hirokawa Uzuki took the initiative to greet him.
"Hello." Yushan Heren nodded slightly.
"I would like to invite you to complete a game, is that okay?" Looking at Yushan Kazuto, Hirokawa Uzuki said very politely.
"Okay." Yushan Kazuto shrugged.
Hirokawa Uzuki couldn't help but smile and nodded. She was really a little worried that Yushan Kazuto would stubbornly reject her game invitation.
"I have a badge in my hand now." Hirokawa Uzuki showed the lake blue badge in his hand.
"Next, I will walk behind the members and randomly place this badge in the hands of a member. If you, Mr. Yushan Kazuto, can guess which member holds the badge, you will receive a mysterious prize!"
Hirokawa Uzuki said this in a cute way, and Hayama Kazuto nodded, signaling Hirokawa Uzuki to start quickly.
Now he just wanted to cooperate with the other party to complete the game and then get off the stage quickly.
Hirokawa Uzuki smiled knowingly and raised the badge. The other members immediately stood in a row with their hands behind their backs. Hirokawa Uzuki walked past them with the badge in hand, like a triumphant warrior.
After going around in a circle, Hirokawa Uzuki returned to Hayama Kazuto and said, "Now, Mr. Hayama Kazuto, you can start guessing."
"It doesn't matter if you don't guess correctly, you'll still get a consolation prize!"
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly and pointed at Okazaki Hotaru: "It's in Okazaki Hotaru's hand!"
The voice was decisive, without any hesitation. Even Hirokawa Uzuki couldn't help but blink slightly, and almost suspected that Yushan Heren was a stooge he had hired.
"Congratulations! You guessed it right!"
Hirokawa Uzuki walked to the side of Okazaki Hotaru and raised her arm. In her hand, she was indeed holding a lake blue badge.
Several other members of Sweet Bullet also raised their hands to indicate that they did not have any badges.
"Mr. Yushan, can you tell us how you guessed it?" Looking at Yushan and others, Hirokawa Maoyue finally couldn't help but ask.
"It's very simple. When you walked past Okazaki Hotaru, her forearm contracted a little." Yushan Kazuto said.
Although her hands were behind her back, part of her forearm was still visible. Therefore, Yushan Kazuto observed the slight contraction of Okazaki Hotaru's forearm and concluded that she must have been holding something.
Hirokawa Uzuki couldn't help but blink slightly. Although what Yushan Kazuto said was a bit exaggerated, it was not impossible.
"Then thank you Mr. Yushan Kazuto for your cooperation. Here is a set of Lake Blue Mystery Care Set for you."
After handing the prize to Yushan Kazuto, Hirokawa Uzuki looked at the rest of the audience and said, "It is also worth mentioning that this Lake Blue Mystery suit is really useful. Uzuki is also using it, and Kazuka often competes with me for it."
"You clearly stole it from me!" Fengbin Hehua said unconvincedly upon hearing this.
"Well, well~ Don't worry about these details. Anyway, it's really useful. If you are interested, you can get a trial pack at the entrance of the park! Both boys and girls can use it!"
This performance event was actually sponsored by La Blue Mystery, but Hirokawa Uzuki did not lie. She was indeed using the La Blue Mystery care set.
This time, Lake Blue Mystery found Sweet Bullet to perform, and to be honest, Sweet Bullet was a little flattered.
Carrying a complete set of Lake Blue Mystery suit, Yushan Kazuto quickly returned to the audience and walked to the side of Ebina Nana. Several people's eyes were instantly cast over him.
