Chapter 36 Cheerleading Techniques During the Heisei Era
"Aspirations, efforts, the future—!"
"Love life..."
On stage, a somewhat clumsy young girl is trying her best to shout.
She had already tried her best, but...
The words are weak, and the momentum is insufficient.
In the audience, Asuka nervously held her breath.
Although the two didn't know each other at all...
Hiroshi Nakajima taught me that this is called an opening statement, mainly used to attract otaku and...
No, no, ptooey ptooey ptooey.
The main purpose is to define the era, target the audience, and establish a persona.
The girl on stage seemed to be just proclaiming how much she loves music...
"Seriously, it's one thing to be opportunistic with an opening statement, but to design it so poorly!"
"Yeah, it's probably not worth watching at all. I don't know which agent was out of their mind to push her on stage. She's clearly a money-loser!"
"Tsk tsk, there are always some people who overestimate themselves and want to become famous overnight, haha, I love watching these foolish women!"
The purpose of this disclosure is to expose a large group of such scoundrels...
Everyone starts as a newbie; most people have their awkward moments.
But it seems that only in this kind of environment can they fully find a sense of superiority.
Asuka was about to get up to argue, but Nakajima Hiroshi grabbed her and held her down.
"Nakajima..."
"If they start arguing and the scene becomes a mess, then even fewer people will watch her performance."
Hiroshi Nakajima gave a rather convincing reason.
After the opening declaration, a gentle, soft singing followed.
It seems that this girl's team really lacks stage presence, at least they don't seem to understand that newcomers don't have a chance to develop their talents gradually.
This kind of start was doomed to failure from the very beginning.
Moreover, there was no cheering squad in the audience, and the response was lukewarm.
Many people have already started scrolling through their phones, waiting for the next newcomer to take the stage.
In an awkward silence, tension quickly creeps into your body.
Soon enough, as expected, a mistake was made.
She took an incorrect breath before a high note, causing the volume to drop sharply in the second half of the sentence and the pitch to drift.
it's over...
From here on, things will become a complete mess.
The girl's voice was already trembling.
"come on--!"
Asuka suddenly raised her hands.
The two were seated in specially reserved locations, very close to the stage, so their voice was naturally heard on stage and the source was quickly located.
"We're watching you, keep going!"
Asuka raised her hands high while kicking Nakajima Hiroshi.
Nakajima Hiroshi was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood. He grabbed the glow stick and put it in Asuka's hand, waving it along with her.
Although the encouragement from both of them was insignificant...
But the girl on stage was startled and looked at the audience in disbelief.
Yes, there are audience members!
Turns out I wasn't nobody after all!
Even if it's just for you guys, I'll stick with it!
It was as if I suddenly had courage, and my mind gradually became more active.
That serious mistake could be covered up during this interaction!
She quickly seized the opportunity to respond while taking a breath.
Then, he gradually focused his voice and regained the rhythm he had practiced for so long!
The song gradually reached its climax.
Colorful lights began to light up sporadically in the audience area.
Even Mizuki, who was tasked with disrupting the event, swayed her body to the beat within the bounds of the job, making a show of being fully engaged.
"Thank you so much for your support!"
The performance ended safely, and the performer's voice was trembling with emotion, almost crying.
"Nakajima!"
Asuka was very involved: "I'm pretty good as a spectator too, right? Right?!"
It seems that Asuka also realized that the audience can create wonderful chemistry with the performers on stage.
Nakajima Hiroshi nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"Yes, Asuka is indeed a rare and high-quality viewer."
"Hehehe..."
The few who made sarcastic remarks, however, reacted in different ways.
Most people still scoffed.
They spend so much money on tickets just to feel superior.
What an ignorant little brat! This woman on stage will never amount to anything, even if she lives for a hundred years.
He's not good-looking, he has no good attitude, and he's an amateur when it comes to talent.
Tsk tsk, judging from this stage arrangement, there's probably no resource support involved.
She can keep dreaming about getting ahead!
However, it seems that some of the less hopeless individuals were moved, and they actually became much less sarcastic afterward, turning into silent types.
Without realizing it, I've become such a despicable and worthless person...
cut.
They are long-time viewers after all, and Asuka Hanabikami is not anyone's support group at all; that's obvious at a glance.
Even the worst cheering squad should know to use glow sticks, instead of raising their hands like they're about to unleash a spirit bomb.
Faced with this silly encouragement, they also...
Foolish as it may be, but...
Hmph, there's no need to always be the bad guy.
Even a few old guys who temporarily switched genders appeared, and some people started following Asuka Hanabira and cheering for the newcomers.
Ok……
Tsk, I can't believe I'm being infected by this beginner-level energy...
Like an idiot.
But it seems pretty good.
Uncle, I used to do these things when I was young too.
When was the last time I had this feeling?
Damn it, stop looking down on me!
Today I'll show you the support techniques of the Heisei right-wing fat otaku!
"Oh...! Bliss——!"
"That part was the best!"
"They've gone berserk—!"
"Damn it, my heart... it's stopped beating!!"
"If it were you, it would definitely work..."
"A rising star, undoubtedly a rising star, Kei!"
As expected, Asuka's cheering skills quickly fell short against the veterans.
She looked at Nakajima Hiroshi with a somewhat bewildered expression.
"Am I... are we being too unenthusiastic...?"
Nakajima Hiro smiled, gazing into Asuka's eyes while swaying his body to the beat.
This child has an innate charisma.
"No, you're the best one."
He pointed to the middle-aged man who was shouting "He's gone mad with killing!"
The other person was yelling and quickly wiping the corner of their eye with the back of their hand.
I'm getting old.
Back in the day, I would sit in the front row and watch ballet for two and a half hours without blinking!
"In the time that follows, you can try to observe each person's strengths and weaknesses, and even the points where they might fail."
"Try to think about how you would handle this situation if you were in that position. This will be very helpful for the future."
Upon hearing this, Asuka nodded excitedly.
It seems that for her, Nakajima Hiroshi's recognition is also a form of support, and the best encouragement for her as a viewer.
but……
The purpose of the study was not achieved.
Rather than analyzing the stage effects, this kid is clearly more interested in waving glow sticks.
...Never mind, as long as she's happy.
Judging from Asuka's apparent love for the stage, she should have at least achieved her core objective.
Usually, after the performance, there will be a mini meet-and-greet and merchandise sales.
Simply put, it involves bringing these new idols together in a specific area, where the host will guide them to answer some simple questions.
The content is usually safe, such as "What are your thoughts today? Favorite food? Future goals?"
Unless the performance is exceptionally outstanding, the answer is unlikely to be of any interest to anyone, and it is unlikely to cause any sensational events.
The main purpose is to see whether these artists who have just made their debut can maintain their persona and core charm after leaving the stage environment.
Today's meeting is a bit special.
Almost all the newlyweds mentioned the girl with the high ponytail and the dozen or so rather chubby uncles who worked incredibly hard.
Those who appear first are generally mentioned as Asuka Kirara, while those who appear later are mainly thanked to the uncles who were too lazy to come up with names.
There's no way around it, the cheering techniques from the Heisei era were just too amazing.
"Asuka is an artist you support, after all. Why don't you buy some of their merchandise to show your support?"
Considering Asuka's strong resistance to the surrounding area, Hiro Nakajima also wanted to try to change some of her views.
"Wow, that's so expensive..."
A set of two still photos costs 1000 yen, an autographed shikishi (art board) costs 1500 yen, a towel costs 2500 yen, a CD player costs 1000 yen...
Besides that, the most important thing is the handshake ticket.
The item that fans are most willing to pay for is actually very cheap, only 200 yen per time.
Asuka Hana simply cannot afford it.
"It's okay, I'll pay for today's expenses."
"When it's your turn, remember to get one for me too."
Hmm.
In that case, there are actually a few older sisters I quite like...
but.
"Nakajima..."
Asuka stared intently into Nakajima's eyes: "You didn't actually want it yourself and tricked me into buying it for you, did you?!"
Didn't we just agree that you weren't allowed to buy these things?
The thought of bringing him those sparkly swimsuit beauties made Asuka inexplicably angry.
Hiroshi Nakajima's smile froze.
Because strictly speaking...
This stuff actually worked for him.
